They're all just a tad limited in scope. I guess it makes sense since I would think TC's primary demographic is technical people (I can't back this up though, may not be accurate). In general though, I agree.
> Would people opposed to a federal court ordering Apple to unlock an iPhone be okay with a state court doing it? I'm going to guess "no."

If my state decides to do something demented, I can move to another state. If the thing they are doing is sufficiently demented that enough people move, it will have a material effect on the state. This creates a dynamic that disincentivizes stupidity.

The barrier is substantially less for the federal government. It usually takes quite a bit of abuse before people start moving to another country. That makes the state vs federal argument relevant.

> As to your final point: while education or healthcare may arguably be outside the scope of the federal government's jurisdiction, national security and suppression of internal rebellion was one of the motivations for creating a strong federal government.

Okay ... is the FBI/DEA/TSA/etc. there to suppress internal rebellion? I think you can make a pretty good argument that that's true, but they certainly don't advertise themselves that way.

I agree with untog, you need to get your install fixed. I'm running on hardware from 2011(except the SSD) since launch and Windows 10 is extremely fast to boot and the UI hasn't crashed once. It even runs my security camera software that was last updated in 2008. I only recently re-installed Skype so I can't speak to that but it has problems all of it's own.
That plugin is not used. Hangouts for me, in Chromium on Linux, is pure native WebRTC.
Wholehearted agreement.

The only time Skype worked for me was on a Nokia N800. It actually worked so well that it delayed my mobile phone adoption for a year. It just worked. Enter this decade where I think I paid for a subscription for almost 4 years and maybe got one or two good calls on other devices during the whole stint.

Messaging systems seemed to work so much better last decade when they were still P2P. I maintained real relationships on them as opposed to no one ever being online on Skype and the shame that is Facebook.
It spreads too with things like http://www.strengthsfinder.com/ which are amazingly short-sighted. You mention you like solving some math-like problems and then surprise your strengths are analysis and math-related things!
The Microsoft Office one is far worse than this example.

I actually had Office installed and was STILL seeing those annoying as heck notifications. That was just blatant and annoying advertising.

All this is, is you're opting to receive dynamic lock screen images that rotate constantly, Microsoft threw in a few ads. It isn't ideal but you you get something in return (a constantly changing set of lock screen images from Windows Spotlight).

With the Office thing you get nothing in return, it is just irritating and pointless.
Except for the past few weeks, I've listened to all of Hanselman's Hansel Minutes podcasts, started in summer 2014 and got current about a year ago. Interesting content while driving in my opinion.

Anyway, he uses the term fairly regularly as a way of grounding discussions when they drift toward the-newest-shinyest or what-the-cool-kids-use. I think it's a helpful construct when thinking about "what should I use" since the best answer usually isn't React Native.
As always, the future moves closer and closer to Black Mirror's S01E02.
I have a somewhat analogous experience that proves to me this could plausibly work.

A few years ago I was single and met a guy at 'da club' who was visiting just for the weekend from .au. We hit it off and hung out while he was in SF until he flew home (to his husband, they were in an open relationship.. I know complicated). Note: This initial physical chemistry is the part that a "service" may never be able to replicate, and might be a necessary pre-condition for many.

But... for the next 6 months or so while I was stressed out, single, and building a startup, I got relief by texting him all the time. I called him my fake boyfriend at the time, even to my friends! I got a lot of the same support/companionship I needed purely virtually that I'd normally get from a real relationship. And because he was married it could never get too 'real,' but the role he played for me was real.

Many people go through hard times alone, and all the business/friend/family/therapist networks in the world can't replicate the role of a romantic partner. If the personality is real and is compatible, and the conversations have memory, then I think a synthetic partner is a beautiful thing for people who need it most.
> One day [ReactOS] may be the only way to use Windows programs without this kind of end-user harassment.

There's a lot of code sharing between ReactOS and Wine. For the most part, Wine works really well to run Windows software... there's no need to run an entire somewhat-Windows-compatible OS that has limited hardware compatibility when you're just interested in running a particular Windows application. [0]

However, I expect that you neither meant to imply that Wine wasn't a good option for running Windows software, nor that work on Wine was likely to stop before work on ReactOS stopped. :)

[0] Edit: To be clear, I'm quite aware that the task that the ReactOS devs face is monumental. I also acknowledge that those devs have put in a lot of good work over the past ~eighteen years.

I'm looking forward to one day being shown a "visualizer" that actually gives me sane insight into the structure, instead of some wibbly-wobbly animated node graph that I have to click around and zoom in/out. These things can sometimes look pretty, but usually I'm left none the wiser about the actual structure.
He declined to comment about whether AMP pages would rank higher, though he said some of the signals Google uses for search include whether a page is mobile friendly and how rapidly it loads

Showing only results that use AMP would be a very coarse cudgel to enforce page speed. It is entirely within Google's ability to simply directly measure page speed, and to my eyes the more sensible course of action given the capability.
How much of that communication would you say is useful? If it's not prying too much, how much of that would you say leads to actual business?
I did. But as discussed elsewhere on this page, libre software has its own set of drawbacks.
FWIW, I still get value from LinkedIn. The best parts for me:

- one place for contact information

- job offers (most of the ones I receive are relevant)

- being able to "check people out", i.e. see where they have worked before, common contacts etc

I'm in Sweden (if that's relevant). I wrote more about it here: http://henrikwarne.com/2013/08/21/linkedin-good-or-bad/

People want free. Things aren't free. But people want free, so let's give them "free" and monetize them indirectly with surveillance, invasive advertising, etc.

The entire Internet has gone down this road since it's very hard to compete with someone who is giving something away for "free" (note quotes). Free has given us George Orwell's bidirectional it-watches-you TV set.
100% agree! I definitely think it takes time to look, but if people are willing to compromise a bit, there are a lot of options.
There's a lot of Google negativity here (perhaps not without reason), but when you view the AMP spec and what it tries to solve for, it feels like a smart move to help broaden the adoption of sensible but poorly understood optimizations: https://www.ampproject.org/docs/get_started/technical_overvi...

Those optimizations are worth looking over even if you don't plan on adopting AMP.

I do think that rather than requiring direct use of AMP for specialized search placement, it should really measure site performance and only ensure your site meets the same benchmark, no matter what you do to optimize.

Google may not be a perfect ally of the open web, but I like this approach much more than what I've seen from Facebook.

Yeh sure. I've no beef with it. Just trying to make the point that when Stripe are making 2.9% there doesn't need to be a catch.
Eating healthy comes down to so much more than whether you have a fast food burger/hot dog occasionally. Personally, I think the unhealthiest thing about a burger is the bun or the fries and soda that usually come with it. Very few fast food places have any healthy sides to go with their non-kids meals, which is kind of a shame.
Sometimes the "fights" between these companies, reminds me of the Democratic and Republican parties in the US.

When one company such as Facebook decides to launch a very privacy-intrusive service, people are like "Oh, no! We must support Google's very privacy intrusive-service so Facebook doesn't win!" - just like people saying "we must not let the pro-corporate Republicans win, so we must support the pro-corporate Democrats".

It's such a race to the bottom. How about we reject both? (in both cases).
Don't be disingenuous. There isn't a consumer OS out there that can do 100% smooth seamless upgrades between major versions.

Can Heston Blumenthal Transform How You Eat?
That's not what he's arguing. I don't think anyone's arguing that any penises have evolved some features that make them more lickable.

These are claims that non-procreative sexual behaviors have naturally evolved. A counter-argument to the idea that the only natural sexual use of the genitals is penis-in-vagina-sex. Claiming anal sex is unnatural because you can't produce babies is the same as claiming that masturbation or oral sex are unnatural because they can't produce babies. Seeking pleasure is NATURAL, evolved behavior. I don't think you're genuinely reading people's claims carefully.
As a lazy immigrant.

Immigrants in any country are extremely diverse.

The thing to understand is just because you are an immigrant doesn't mean you are hardworking or innovation.

The fundamental argument is much more simpler - labor moves wherever they see the most opportunity for their work.

And for a long time that has been the United States.

Its the same argument that I would apply in reverse. I see a lot of college educated liberal arts major working at coffee shop - these people would be extremely productive in lets say china - where there is shortage of people who are good at liberal arts - just like there is a shortage of software engineers in silicon valley.

Freedom of labor is what you really want - it would make the world a much better place.

"That patent holds no merit."

I don't know how one really could check that. At some point you have to trust the manufacturer to do what they say they do. Or don't, but in that case you can't really buy any car, since even if they don't advertise remote access, they could be lying.

Most of the worlds capital flows through off-shore finance (Cayman Islands, Isle-of-man, etc), see http://treasureislands.org . For finance, biotech, etc. jurisdiction arbitrage is pretty standard. It's what the big corporations and billionaires do to avoid taxes, and more generally the law. OFC's are strongly tied to the financial centers of NY and London. I doubt that this product is all that useful for entrepreneurs outside developed countries, who have access to legal infrastructure anyway. The real breakthroughs will come from borderless settlement of contracts on the blockchain, i.e. situations where one doesn't rely on lawyers, but computers. One can think about the cost to do an IPO (millions), versus issuing an asset on the blockchain (cents). With Stripe one can really see the hypocrisy of the financial system: they have sponsored an Altcoin called Stellar, but they ban businesses who are dealing with Cryptocurrencies.
You have to imagine someone there is already measuring this, if for no other reason that evaluating the effectiveness of their own approaches.
The Skype app crashes so frequently. When it finally decides to work, the microphone doesn't work. If you feel really really brave, you can try putting the app to background, except that might cause your video feed to not work anymore. Remember those files somebody sent you 3 months ago? Well, you haven't recieved them on this device yet. This is true for Windows, Linux and Android. In an update about a month ago, Windows 10 introduced the "Messaging" and "Video" apps. Which were both based on Skype infrastructure. They.didn't.work. Which makes me wonder if they ever tested them before even releasing them.

To be fair, Hangouts has gotten a bit better, but it still feels like there's nobody actually actively working on any of the apps. Or at least, nobody who is working on the app dogfoods it. But this app is no stranger to ignoring your microphone, or showing you that you're still in a conversation which has ended several hours ago.

Facebook Messenger has not disappointed me yet, which might make it the strongest and most stable contender to date.

The problem with the EU isn't the scandals. It's the total lack of responsiveness to the people.

We're going to create this constitution, and you (the people) don't get to vote on it, but you have to live under it. Oh, one country insists on letting the people vote, and the people vote against it? They'll have to vote again, because the people can't be allowed to stop what we're doing.

That is where you find the EU "establishment" completely out of touch with the people.
Great thoughts tzs, thanks for this comment. We're hoping to perceived as being helpful. We think it's pretty transparent and we also send users monthly reminders advising them to pay at least 1/6 of their bill each month.

What "end of the establishment?". The US's Gini coefficient, a measure of economic inequality, is near its highest level since 1929. When it drops below the all-time low of 1973, we'll talk about the "end of the establishment." In the 1960s, there were about 60 lobbyists in Washington. Now, there are over 20,000.

All that's happened so far is that, at last, the "establishment" message isn't selling. Occupy won the battle for the message, by focusing attention on "the 1%". That hasn't translated into action. We're not seeing pro-labor legislation getting through Congress. We're not even seeing aggressive enforcement of existing minimum wage and overtime laws. We're not seeing employers going to jail on a regular basis for wage theft or violating immigration law.

All that's happened is that the GOP has managed to shoot itself in the foot. Again. Face it, all the Republican presidential candidates are worse than Bush Sr, or Eisenhower, or Reagan. It's embarrassing. This is the legacy of being "the party of No" in Congress - there's nobody with a track record of accomplishing much.

Not sure what to make of Trump. He's the first national level demagogue the US has had in many decades.

My NAL understanding there was that, in cases where the government has already seen the evidence, decription is not self-incrimination. But in general excepting that, they can't compel the owner in the possibility that doing so would force the owner to self-incriminate.

>What exactly is the difference between systems and standards and policies and procedures?

Policies and procedures are paper based sets of instructions. I.e. the 4th amendment.

Systems and standards are electrically programmed. I.e. encryption.

It is the difference between saying "this should not be done" and actually designing a system in which it cannot be done.

I don't have a source, but no, I remember hearing about them before Slack's reactions were released. What they really were is a take on ("copy of") Path's reactions[1], which are very similar in concept.

But I think putting too much importance on "copy" is wrongheaded. Facebook's team seems smart to "copy" these things from other platforms that prove their worth, just like tons of other platforms "copy" original things that Facebook's team has vetted. Who cares.

That's right, you owe no US taxes. You don't have what is called "Effectively Connected Income", that is - you provide services from outside the US, not within the US. Since 'single-member LLC' is pass-through entity, that means the person is taxed (Not corporation) and you(person) are outside of the US and owe no US taxes at all.

However, you might owe taxes in your home country.

If you sell goods or there are co-founders, then you have to pay.

Tatra 603: wacky commie hot rod
Dare I say; The Constitution is an Objective Document, that is (forthrightly), been subjected through interpretation. . .ergo, opinions and power grab's. The US. Constitution is simple and elegant, but cruel and antithetic to the Federal Government's power hungry tendencies of knowing what is best for all. . . so the interpretation of the document. Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution is the most misinterpreted section of the US.CONST. Example: the NOT enumerated power (a summary to say the least, of the actually enumerated powers) "general welfare of the USA" or the "to regulate commerce clause"... this article words it great "This is patently obvious: the power to “regulate” commerce cannot include the power to compel commerce!. . ."
