No, you don't know whether it will win or lose ahead of time. You just trade opposite strategies in an ambitious way so you are GUARANTEED to have a large chance of winning a lot ... the arbitrage is that one trader gets fired and the other gets a large bonus for being right!
Roam.co is relevant - a friend works there and the concept is simple:

'A single $ 1,600 lease that gives you month-to-month access to incredible co-living spaces and local communities around the world.'

The idea is to open co-living spaces all over the world and enable people to drift from place to place. As a digital nomad, it's attractive - just that $1600 would be far and away the most I've ever spent on a lease.
That's funny - I was analyzing a piece of malware a week or two ago that would have hit the exact same bug. I can't believe somebody would use a "protocol" like that in production code.

I'm still perfectly fine wasting their time.

Honestly, I don't get this reasoning that if they are doing it for a small financial gain, they are resolved of any blame for any harm they cause (even if the harm is just annoying me and wasting my time). Yet I see the reasoning being used in multiple instances where they are causing hassle or worse (say when they lie to you about whats in phone contracts, which is my pet peeve).
Thermal can "see through" some dark clothing if the visible filter is removed from the camera (or negated by another filter) and the clothing is against the body releasing heat.

At least that's how the Sony hacked worked.

"Lightbend" as a name is I think the least interesting part of this announcement.

So, Typesafe pivots away from being the company behind Scala to being the company behind the "Reactive Platform (tm)".

I didn't understand the motivation at first--they announced they were going to do this a while ago--but this sentence sums it up:

> ... with more than half of our customers representing traditional Java enterprises. We continue to evolve, becoming more language agnostic ...

I can understand this. While I always liked the Typesafe brand because of it tech connotation and implicit relation to Scala, if you want to diversify outside of the Scala box, you'll have to change the name.

As a Scala fan, however, it's hard to not see this as a blow to the community. Having Typesafe behind Scala was one of the major advantages of choosing Scala, and IMHO the primary reason Scala adoption spread wider and faster that Clojure, Haskell et. al.

I was hoping the JVM community would coalesce around one post-java language and I was hoping it was Scala. But now add Kotlin to the mix of Groovy and Clojure, and the future gets murkier. Especially with the mind-share and great communities around Rust and Go.

This is probably a good thing for Typesafe/Lightbend, however. The Scala ecosystem had been tough to monetize. Putting their full weight behind commercial offerings on top of FOSS foundations seems like a better business strategy.

My problem with it (and many of the other alternatives) is not having an associated Asset Store. Not that I have an overarching need to buy stuff, but because there is a curated place where I can find a model or prop I need that will (almost always) import properly and work and scale the way I expect. Yes, you can scour the internet for "free" 3d stuff, but as often as not it's worth what you paid for it, and unless you're running the program it was created in you will spend more than a little time getting it to behave.

Email has been one of the last holdouts of "services that purely distribute", in an era where Facebook, Twitter, search results, job postings are all tailored/processed by an algorithm before reaching the end user.

In addition, of the things that dominate the finite amount of our "attention" (FB/IG/Google), only email hasn't been fully monetized.

When Inbox first launched, there was a lot of discussion on the end of email as a commodity. However, email's customer today is no longer the user (you and I) but the advertisers' (e.g. context-driven ads in Gmail).

With Inbox, instead of passively showing context-driven ads, Google can take it to the next level similar to what Facebook has done with its newsfeed. From inserting ads/call to actions within the Inbox 'timeline', to forcing advertisers/publishers behavior when it comes to how Inbox interprets/filters/classifies an email (remember the addition of the "Promotions" tab?).

I'd also like to recommend a recent article which talks about how Inbox is the trojan horse for your personal AI which goes into some other points: http://solveforinteresting.com/inbox-is-the-trojan-horse-for...
>Intellectually, I recognize that the people making telemarketing calls by and large are in a precarious financial position, with all of the risks to health and happiness that come with that. I think we need to treat them better (even if that's just tersely hanging up, rather than stringing them on).

Those who steal are often not in the best of financial straights. Yet we still punish them. Those who commit even worse crimes are often meeting some unmet need or desire, one which may only exist because they are mentally ill, and yet this means we see them as a danger to society. We may pity them, but we will still punish them.

So, shouldn't the same logic apply even when the wrong being committed is much milder? The punishment will be milder (get yelled at, have time wasted) since the wrong is milder, but they still deserve the social repercussion of their actions.

Perhaps it is not as easy as you think.
I still am not convinced it is a leaky abstraction because of this. Perhaps it is a surprising one, it certainly took me a while to learn about it, I don't think I really appreciated universal file I/O until I worked through a bit of The Linux Programming Interface (recommended!). I see the filesystem now as a standard interface to many parts of the system (including hardware, processes, kernel state, etc) through the kernel. I don't think that /proc/1 is a process, it is an interface to information about a process. It makes sense to me UEFI variables are exposed this way. In fact if anything I'd say the abstraction is not leaky enough here: deleting the files deletes information on firmware, isn't that the promise of a "regular" file? :) Again, I am not defending the current behavior! There's nothing about the abstraction that says such a file must obey to `rm` in this way.

I recently ran into a funny bug, however, that makes me more sympathetic to your point. In Emacs a version of TRAMP mode (which is used to connect to remote servers or to connect locally as a different user) would try to cleanup itself by deleting some sort of tramp history file after a session. And if the history file didn't exist to begin with (or if a setting disabled it, I'm not sure exactly) someone thought it appropriate to simply open up "/dev/null", throwing away all writes to the file -- OK, makes sense so far.

But in TRAMP I often connect as root to my own machine -- it makes it easy to edit files as root, or run a shell in root. And as root you have the power to delete /dev/null! So, TRAMP would delete it without my knowledge... what's odd is that it quickly gets created again (perhaps by Emacs) so that it appears to exist, except that suddenly a) it's a regular file and b) it's owned as root without world write/read permission, so that suddenly all sorts of things start to fail because they can't open /dev/null. Fun.
Well they do keep making promises around those things like they do.

> think about massive tsunami (at least that's what I would expect, depending on the impact force of course)

You'd need something way more powerful than the Tunguska event; ignoring that Tunguska was most likely an airburst (not an impact), its estimated yield was about twice the Castle Bravo yield which did generate relatively inconsequential waves compared to the rest of its issues.

A "true" tsunami requires absolutely ridiculous amounts of water displacements, that doesn't happen with anything short of existential-risk impactors. Operation Hardtack confirmed that nuke-level energy didn't come close: there isn't enough displacement and that displacement is very temporary.
These are not first principles. These are premises used to establish the logic that follows.

As long as you can question the premise and dig deeper you are not reasoning from first principle.

I don't even think it really applies to language but instead to science and means something very different.
"Terrorism" is a topic where we have to come to grips with definitions early on, or the analysis goes seriously astray.

To me, terrorism is the use of stealth to deliberately target civilians in a media effort to change political opinion.

I've had this definition for several years, and I have never reached some of the crazy conclusions other commentators reach about the topic "George Washington was a terrorist!" "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" and so on.

Definitions matter.

Note: This is not related to the merits of the FBI's case. My point is simply that we can all use the word "terrorism" and all actually be talking about different things.
well, first off it says that people distrust people of opposite political parties more than of different races like that's a bad thing ( distrusting people because of their beliefs instead of their race seems an improvement to me), furthermore has this data been adjusted for political affiliation and race - do white Republicans, for example, really distrust white Democrats more than they distrust people of other races? Did this study take other parties than the big two into account?

Another gripe I have is that the Rust Book examples are all targeted at non-system programmers.

>XMPP is dead.

Oh? The last I checked there were well over 100 public XMPP servers listed at IM Observatory. Those servers are federated. What would it take for XMPP to be not dead?

* https://www.xmpp.net/directory.php

Note that there are several popular server implementations in actual use and that the release dates for the software currently on the net mostly happened this year.

The thing is, all an IM provider has to do is create a XMPP transport for their protocol using the tons of existing XMPP software freely available and then you have XMPP federation. It isn't even that hard. So it always seems odd to hear that people absolutely can't interconnect with a large operating network that embodies the closest thing we have to an IM interoperability standard.

One thing shown not to work is creating yet another protocol under the theory that everyone else will become compatible with it. If you do that you are just wasting your time.

>legal searches of suspects with prerequisite probable cause

We've seen the court abuse that whole 'probably cause' to the point of being meaningless.

>First, there is a huge difference in consequences. If you search a phone and nothing is there then the person isn't significantly harmed. Killing someone is a huge consequence and it's irreparable.

So because the harm isn't as immediate, certain human rights don't matter as much?

>Second, the court proceedings insure we are only searching people who deserve it.

Because the court says so... which is as good as the President saying the target deserved the assassination. The court is still part of the government that can't be trusted.

>So you can't compare the two.

You can always compare different things. In fact, any comparison of real life topics is being made of two different things.

>But assuming the president ordered the assassinations of people we knew deserved it

Who deserved it according to the President, who we don't trust because they are a member of a government which we are talking about not having trust in.

>I'd still say "what's the problem"

Those pesky human rights...

>Finally, you are substituting in something that most people consider inherently immoral.

I'm only using an example that is an easier violation of human rights to understand. It is far easier to explain to people why violating the right to life is wrong than it is why violating the right to be secure against searches and seizures.

>I think it's pretty clear a search of a phone to recover evidence is not inherently immoral.

If your morality is one that allows an abusive government to violate human rights then that isn't a morality we share.

> current level of documentation they are in the realm of some obscure hacks

I don't think so. Rust encourages a certain style of designing code, using enums and traits. Almost all the time this suffices.

My comment was at the macro level; I'm not saying that an OOP pattern will have an equivalent in Rust, I'm saying that if you look at the larger use case you can design your code in idiomatic Rust to avoid it.
