I agree :(

> This is a request that comes up often but I tested this so much and always came back to not doing magic. It breaks too many applications in unintended ways (particularly plain text output).

That was even the first feature request I got. I don't think I'll go more into magic than what it currently is, seems to be okay-ish

> I would not do that again. Jinja has an extension interface and I regret adding it. I much rather have people just expose functions to the templates. That said, in Rust that might be not a good idea because there are no keyword arguments so make it makes sense there.

That was my first thought on a better way to do template tags but not sure how to do that in Rust.

Good point about macros, maybe I can have a look later. Macros and include feel like they fill the same spot in my mind in terms of features so I'd rather not have both.

This is good for Apple: It's a good incremental revenue opportunity. Facebook makes a lot of money helping app developers find their way to installs.

This could be good for developers: If Apple follows this to its logical extent, they will also let developers A/B test art and copy for their app, making it easier for app developers to find the parts of their app that really resonate with users and get installs.

In recent experience, the enemy doesn't have a functioning air defense after the first few hours. The fancy planes and cruise missiles blew it all up. Then the A-10 is free to work relatively safely for the next several years.
You are taking a literalist view of the word "force" there. You can be compelled to testify, and the people asking the questions need to do their homework so they can catch you in a lie if you try that. That's how things were before every communication was electronic.

That seems so incredibly risky for ISPs. Hi, we're Alphabet. we have 50 billion dollars in cash and have rolled out residential fiber. We also have insane amounts of market data, so we'll snipe all of the high density locations and let you suffer out in the sticks.

I'm not super enthusiastic about buying access from Facebook or Google, but that seems like the endgame if the ISPs really end up getting a cut of the money.

Except Microsoft is kinda right: it is not a security vulnerability. If somebody can access given url just by guessing it — well, it it unprotected, so implicitly it is supposed to be accessed by anyone. No matter how long it is. I could've found it via google, you might have exposed it by sending it via email/skype/whatever. For what it's worth I can bruteforce 12-character urls as easily: if you don't know where do you want to get, it doesn't matter which road you take, so as long as I get at least some valid urls by random guessing — it is virtually as insecure, as if every url would be valid.

Praising google and blaming microsoft on that is actually stupid and harmful — this "concerned about security" image is nothing but marketing move for naïve people. If shortened urls are twice as long as before, does it mean that now it's safe to have some confidential information assigned to them left without authentication? I bet it doesn't. But it sort of implies so. The url shortening service just got worse, by being twice less efficient in what it's supposed to do: shorten urls. But not more safe, not at all.
Incorrect and incomplete representation. She's starting the removal of §103 (deals with dignitaries) and made it very clear it's only being removed because it's "expendable" i.e. only removed to appease a loud minority and polish image. The removal will take like 2 years and i doubt the "investigation" will take that long.

§185 stays in and Erdogan can (and actually is) still sue Böhmermann using that one.

Not much has been said about the IT industry. Until recently transaction processing was a huge impediment as Paypal and the likes were blocking transactions coming from most of Africa. Then there is an inherent problem of physical addressing, which also impedes delivery and a host of GPS dependent services from having a good traction.

Then the industry are wasting an enormous amount of time and money making sure that the laws are written exactly this way. What idiots, right? Judges will ultimately make sure that the laws are interpreted in a way to favor net neutrality if we would just keep quiet about it.
Looking from Norway (admittedly with a high average/median wage across all jobs, even if top-end compensation isn't all that high) advertised salaries from positions in the UK often appear surreal. Granted there's a difference in cost of living, but I often wonder what kind of people end up in these jobs in the UK. Especially government position seems to lag far behind in terms of compensation. I'm hoping my picture is slightly skewed by a sampling bias (eg: most positions sadly don't list a comp. range).

In sum, I agree with what you said, although maybe not what you meant: Developers in the UK appear cheap. Too cheap.

Actually we should credit the sun. For without the sun we would have no earth.

Wait, wait a minute! This line of reasoning seems ridiculous!

Why? Its the same reason we don't credit the government for every accomplishment ever made. We focus on the key players. Could the government have been a key player here? Perhaps. But your line of reasoning is not the reason.

> The solution is not regulation, it's increasing competition.

There are two responses to this. The first is OK do it and then we'll get rid of the regulations as soon as there actually are 5 or more competitive ISPs.

But the more important point is that it doesn't actually solve the problem in question. There could be 10 ISPs that every consumer could choose from but every website would still have to pay all of them if they were allowed to charge websites, because the site can't get faster access to Verizon's customers by paying AT&T or vice versa.

It is not "refused". It is just not a trivial undertaking and with even more limited resources now, it is even less easy.

Just switching to ODF as a default format wouldn't have been a good idea, the difference in data models would have caused problems. I have in mind that to do that we'd have to change the internal model for things like list and tables to not have to convert them back and forth each time with losses.

This is a sad fact of the reality.

Having read about historical radio astronomy and practiced signals analysis, I think they were a little more sophisticated than that. The recording in this format was made for easy perusal by a human, say, the next morning. I think that was the case with this signal. No doubt they wanted to revisit that spot in the sky looking at intensity, frequency shifting (Doppler), bandwidth, modulation, etc. But they never saw it again.

Historical point of interest: the Big Ear telescope that recorded this was bulldozed to make way for a golf course.

What grandparent post is failing to understand is that we're part of the process. Our outrage was anticipated, and the system expects us to cry out when a bad law gets proposed.
Copyright isn't a "natural" right. For physical possessions, you can defend them or have others defend them. For copyright, you are using my tax money to have the government prevent what I can do with what ideas are presented to me, even if it doesn't directly harm you. So it feels kind of like bullying.

But copyright does make sense "for a limited time". I think the big issues is that the current time limits don't make sense. Let's say that you interpret that having a government-enforced monopoly on creative works is what lets you make money off them, and that making money is what promotes the initial creation of those works. In reality, most of the market value on the vast majority of instances of several classes of works is much shorter than "life of the author plus 70 years". For example, a new hit song may sale quite a bit in the first year, a bit more over the next few years, then it dies out into obscurity. Long copyrights keep such works dead (no one will continue to publish it if it doesn't make money, and nobody else is allowed to publish it). So this is a net loss to society.

Now what what really makes sense, and feels more fair, is that if you as an author want to use my government's force to maintain an exclusive monopoly on your work, then you should pay for that service. This could be a per year fee (doesn't have to be a lot), so that if the work becomes abandoned then it doesn't become lost to society.

> "Make sure everyone speaks"

From personal experience in a YC interview: My cofounders and I decided we would speak and answer in turns. The problem we ultimately ran into after a few minutes was that one of our interviewers asked, "so who is the CEO?" Inside, we knew that was a bad sign (I believe I've heard PG say that it's a very bad sign).

It probably wasn't the only reason we were ultimately rejected, but it certainly didn't help. Looking back on that experience, one of the things I would have changed would be the author's next bit of advice:

> "Generally speaking, there will be one person that answers most of the time"

[Edit] People have asked why I felt that being asked "so who is the CEO?" was a bad sign: https://youtu.be/JK3sVFs6_rs?t=175

> "It's really bad if we're talking to a bunch of founders and we can't figure out who the leader is..."

Again... This was one YC interview a number of years ago, and I of course have no real insight into the final impression we left on our interviewers. Just something that I remember not feeling great about in hindsight.

Please tell me your plan for increasing consumer ISP competition without regulation? Because we once used to have a great variety of ISPs and they are almost all gone now. Existing players with money and infrastructure put them out of business.
because the freedom to share ideas and culture is paramount, first and foremost. There exists no legitimacy to the end of restricting people's ability to share things. The only reason copyright law exists is as a means to the end of promoting economic basis for progress (and so, it is failing whenever it isn't achieving that end).

It can read .doc. Never write. When it writes .doc it is actually writing RTF. A kludge, but this is better than always explaining users that saving as .rtf will be fine. And Word did that for a while part of a feature that was removed in an update. The only things were this didn't work is for some proprietary CMS that supported .doc but not .rtf.

I'm personally not super happy about that, but it is still much better than not doing it.
