When I worked at a big company, one thing that always got everyone's attention was when the CEO received written letters from his customers. It's a very slow way of going about airing grievances, but it might work the same way. The CEO was notified and every letter was responded to.

If you're worried about the cost per day of downtime, you should certainly consider investing in Enterprise.

>In any case, the idea that you should have to jump through all the hoops involved in running Windows Enterprise just to maintain a reasonable degree of control over your own computers is patently absurd, and like many others, I and my businesses will treat it with the contempt it deserves.

Well, I certainly hope you've got a very competent security team to assess and control the risks caused by avoiding updates.
Well, sure :) I don't think anybody who has ever been in a long-lasting relationship would disagree with you.
Yes, but the US basically had an entire continent that was almost free for the taking, given the relatively light resistance that Native Americans were able to put up. Of course this land had to be farmed/mined/etc. to be productive, but it's far far easier to take economic risks when you have effectively unlimited quantities of a popular asset (land) at your disposal. I'd be very wary of generalizing from that situation to economic planning in general.

From the article: "We want customers to reply to messages because we send billions of notifications per month and every one of those should be an opportunity to start a conversation with a customer."

Billions of notifications per month. That's spam.

> The decision to use Go was deliberate, because we needed something that had lower latency than Java (where garbage collection pauses are an issue) and is more productive for developers than C, while also handling tens of thousands of client connections. Go fits this space well.

This is interesting. There haven't been many instances yet where Go's memory/GC performance is compared directly and favorably to Java's performance.
Uh oh, it looks like someone has skin in the game and is worried. :'(

For a while, I liked spaces. But then I started programming on my phone. The screen is only 36 columns wide. With 4 spaces per level, 4 levels of indentation (not atypical, even for Python) makes that 20 columns. Takes up nearly half your screen. So if I am trying to code on my phone I need tabs so I can reduce the width of indentations and save as much space as possible.
> Generally, people assume that a plurality of marriages that aren't theirs will end.

A plurality is the largest individual share where there is no majority. Since marriages have only two outcomes (end by death, end by divorce), there is no room for a plurality, only a majority one way or the other. I don't think people falsely assume other outcomes which reduce the biggest share to a mere plurality.

And there is precious little evidence to support that the biggest share (majority or plurality) is to end in divorce.
You're conflating two concepts, color temperature and CRI. Together they roughly describe the spectrum output; color temperature tells you where the peak output is along the black-body temperature line, and CRI tells you how lumpy the response is. A low CRI can lead to metameric failure[1].

I see that the satellite pictures come from openstreetmap, but I'm not familiar how often those pictures are updated, anybody know?

When they are updated, does Terrapattern recognize the change an update the corresponding photos?
No thanks. I hate all those places, so why would I want to be spammed about them while I drive?

If I could configure it for my personal favorite places like Panera, then sure, that'd be a useful feature. But I don't want to be spammed about a bunch of crappy businesses that I have no interest in visiting. And I have zero faith that a company that makes money by advertising would allow me to configure their app to only show places I'm interested in, rather than places who pay to put their logo on my map screen.
Read the article. The motivations are made clear
No, I'm not saying it takes 5 minutes. I'm saying it takes 5 seconds.

You google "hidden service multiple ports" (sans quotes), and the very first result answers every single one of his questions.

You only need to scroll down the page to see the super self explanatory config examples.

HiddenServiceDir /usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:8080

HiddenServiceDir /usr/local/etc/tor/other_hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 6667 127.0.0.1:6667
HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22

If that doesn't tell you how to set up multiple hidden services and multiple ports, you should seriously get someone else to set up the hidden service for you. Some people just aren't competent enough to do it, just as not all of us are heart surgeons.

If you can't configure Tor, you certainly won't be able to sufficiently harden the applications that you're trying to hide.
I have a projector (and I love it) that displays on most of a wall in the basement. It's perfect for watching a movie. For wallpaper, not so much. The room has to be completely dark, the projector makes noise, consumes lots of power, and has a short lamp life.
Exactly this. Immutable is for collections, e.g. maps, sets, lists. The objects in the example are just objects, they are not maps. Using Immutable is just a pointless complication.
There are other explanations for such a trend as you describe that do not hinge on long term vs short term thinking.

For example, if you have control over a golden goose asset and managing it to maximize wealth is best achieved by sitting in a room with other oligopolists and carving up markets, that (1) may be best accomplished "in private" and (2) why share unfairly high profits if don't need to? This type of thing has occurred for example in the growth of cable TV companies, go public (yet maintain control) to get access to the capital necessary to grow your networks, then go private again (you already have control) to not have to dilute profit over and in the face of inefficient public regulation.

In any case, the idea that the market is too focused on the short term has been around for decades, and if the shift had occurred as you propose, then we wouldn't still be hearing it.
One solution would be to have "curators" with an expanded role. These curators would have dictatorial powers (via a supermajority vote of the curators) to nullify and replace the entire contract. However, they would promise to do this only in case of a genuine software bug, or if ordered to do so by a court with jurisdiction over them, not for any other reason. There would be many curators. Many of them would be professional curators, similar to professional accountants or trust executors, who work for huge firms which, like Big Four accounting firms, have a lot to lose if any of their members are caught misusing their power.
Twilio's problem is that they keep growing in features while being forced to maintain stalwart backwards-compatibility WHILE maintaining documentation AND a ~dozen client libraries for all their developers. While they've made a concentrated effort to improve their documentation / interface over the past year, it's not uncommon for documentation to be out-of-date or incorrect or libraries to be confusing (client.messages.new might call the 2009 endpoint and client.newMessage might call the 2014 endpoint, with only the later endpoint accepting SMS bodies <= 1600 characters for example).

With new offerings like Copilot and presumably this, they get a chance at a fresher start BUT unless you want to handle interacting with Twilio's endpoints directly you're going to have to wait for your client libraries to catch up, which might not be a problem with NodeJS, but for instance my company uses a third-party Golang library that's two years old and has only received minor tweaks in the past 6 months. It will probably not be updated with new features soon or ever, and should I want to utilize these new features I would have to extend or re-write the library myself.

Finally Twilio provides no ways of including metadata in an SMS submission (which is a huge freaking oversight) and makes it very difficult to associate a number with an account. The most accepted answer for that problem currently is to use the Twilio number as a foreign key for an account, which a) does not work with Copilot as you have no control over which number will send the message and b) requires each account to have its own ($1) number, which does not scale.
This article has a single anecdote whose source isn't even convinced of the veracity of the headline:

“That is kind of weird,” she laughed. “I’m still not so sure this isn’t just coincidence. I don’t think Facebook is really listening to our conversations.”
its not always the case, take the case where someone with relatively little assets but bright career prospects(say a new lawyer at big firm)marries a girl with rich parents, but no job, the the "rich" girl's essentially broke - is hypothetically worth a lot, in this case all of the "poorer" spouses's earnings would be treated as community property despite the other spouse bein far richer and not contributing much to community property
There are several, but none currently available for iOS, at least not through the app store. (I don't know if you care about iOS, but it's the platform I jumped to when Palm ceased to be sustainable.)

The Palm OS emulator for Windows and Linux can probably still be made to work, although in the latter case, good luck getting it to run in the absence of suitably decrepit shared library versions which your distro's package manager probably no longer provides - your best bet might be to find a DVD image of a distribution from 2003 or so, and install that in a VM to support the emulator.

Linux RPMs can be had via Sourceforge [1]. Windows binaries are apparently available from several sources; the one provided by download.cnet.com [2] appears to be free of social diseases and reasonably functional. (It'll complain about a missing skins directory, but there's a generic skin packaged with the application which will work for your purposes.)

You'll also need a ROM image. To my outright astonishment, some of these appear still to be available on the web! [3] "Palm OS 3.5-en-color.rom" boots successfully in the Windows emulator.

And, finally, you'll need the Space Trader application itself. If you don't still have a copy, it remains available for download on the developer's site [4]. Once you have it, extract the version of your choice from the zipfile - the color version works fine with the ROM I mentioned. Then (at least on Windows) right-click the emulator chrome and choose "Install Application/Database", then "Other...", and navigate to the extracted .prc file. The emulator will load the app into the virtual Palm's memory, and then you can just click the icon to run it. It seems to work quite well!

There are also several variably crummy knockoffs of Space Trader available for iOS, none of which does a good job capturing what made the Palm version fun. I keep meaning to reimplement it as a browser app or something, but...

Because there doesn't have to be another pair that satisfies that relation. Counterexamples are trivial:

Color the pair blue if its elements are 1 and 0. Color the pair red otherwise.

Color the triplet blue if its elements are 1, -1, and 0. Color the triplet red otherwise.
I'm still confused if race is a feature in the original model. More over, the offense and re-offense rate of black people is also tied to racial bias by the police.

If the police let more speeding white guys off with a warning than black (as a rate) then the bias is applied at the data level.
Setting up hidden services should not be that easy, unless it's the application itself doing it.

Making these things too easy results in very real damage when somewhat clueless people think they're capable of operating these things by themselves.
Of course, my stupidest hackathon project makes it to HN. Great.
Yep, good idea.

I'm documenting everything I can think of. Tried the loophole three times - once inadvertently, a second time to try a different approach and a third time on a different account. Told the low-level techs all about that, they didn't seem too concerned about le ~0.32$ I created, but still being careful.

I'm documenting everyone I talk to as well - there is never any case file # though. Are there any other things you think I should document?

As for switching banks - definitely will. This is realllllly bad.
Haha! I heard this kind of experience from some others who interviewed with various companies too. Always wonder why would anyone do that?
I think the bigger thing is the deliberate design of go for parallel processing. I feel like the Go GC is still an issue, although getting better every day, but the benefits in regards to "handling tens of thousands of client connections" potentially make the GC easier to swallow than Java.

But that's is just my outside looking in take on it.
I built a house a couple years ago where the lighting used is predominately LED bulbs and I absolutely hate it. The pre-determined lighting plan for the home was presumably based on the brightness given off by certain incandescent bulbs and placing LED bulbs in those locations that are supposed to be wattage equivalent has resulted in a fairly dark house with what I would consider to be low quality of light. Many of the bulbs used in certain fixtures also emit a noticeable high pitched noise when on.
Hopefully you include the government into those corporate interests.

Quite true; my wife works in e-discovery and much more of her work is in normalizing messy data sets than doing the discovery itself.
A friend of mine was having a discussion with a contractor working in his yard about something he was entirely unfamiliar with--natural gas powered grills.
Having never researched the topic before, he was a little unnerved later to have Facebook serving him natural gas grill content ads. (still having not ever google'd them or anything)
> With an initial quorum of 20% it will be very challenging to get enough agreement, especially with the downsides associated with actually voting.

20% of tokens are held by the top 12 account holders. Getting 12 people (perhaps fewer, if someone had multiple wallets) who each invested millions of dollars into the DAO to vote doesn't seem that hard.

You feel wrong. I enable it when I have to, only.

> How can you build engaging web applications

Not my problem. I want quick loading sites with as few malware vectors as possible.

You should be building web applications which facilitate the transfer of information. You don't need javascript and all the other crap people are using these days for that. I mean, if you're all about pure eye candy and doing..I dunno, mandelbrots or something in the browser, then yeah, you're going to need javascript. But it's not going to work on mobile. Hardly anything like that works on mobile, which is fine by me; I do most of my browsing there.

To be honest, I think there's a market for a firefox addon which removes links to sites which don't work on mobile/require you to have javascript enabled to save me the effort of clicking back when i arrive at am empty page or when the screen is dimmed and all I can see is the corner of some dialog I have no interest in zooming out to look at.
The article disputes your second point:

But in March, 2008, before fleeing Geneva, he had sent e-mails to British and German intelligence agencies, announcing, “I have the whole list of clients of one of the world’s top five private banks.” (The agencies did not pursue this opportunity.) He also contacted a French revenue inspector named Jean-Patrick Martini. During the summer of 2008, Falciani arranged a secret meeting with Martini in a French village across the Swiss border. Martini brought along a psychologist, who helped him come to the conclusion that Falciani seemed credible about the provenance of his data.

(he fled Geneva in late 2008)

The fact that the Swiss convicted him of industrial espionage when the main point of the article is how important bank secrecy (and it's protection of tax evasion) to the Swiss shouldn't really help anything.

> How often to prenups give the cheating party a free pass?

In some states, notably including California, infidelity clauses have been held to be unenforceable provisions in prenuptial agreements, as contrary to public policy (specifically, in CA, that policy as expressed in no-fault divorce laws.)

So, if the agreement purports to create penalties for cheating that vary what the distribution of assets would be without it, that provision may not have any legal effect.

You're absolutely right - I should have called that out more.

Ethereum can be used to represent the ownership of any item (property title, ticket, claim for fiat currency). Some will inject a third-party you need to trust (a custodian who holds dollars), while others may not (the digital ticket as @daoland highlights). You can also define ownership broadly, where it might be as simple as the "ownership" (right) to vote (e.g., corporate governance decision, poll, etc). While it's not the primary use today, I could see tradeable tokens to represent various real world rights (to land, to tickets, to voting) being an area for much further experimentation.

I do think there's a question if confirmation times need to be low on the blockchain itself (with its attendant risks) - as Lightning in Bitcoin shows an example where this is injected on top. This really is a broader debate about what should live at the lowest layers of a blockchain stack and what should be higher up (disclosure, I specialized in networking, and so see some parallels to the debates in the early years of the networking stack). Another interesting area for exploration is what should live on the blockchain, and what should live off, given the cost of blockchain storage.

But what are you looking for in this project? It is not really clear what your goals are, the project seems very broad. If the project is for everybody, then it is for nobody! I learned that the hard way myself.

If you for example chose education specifically, then you can reach out to professors, because it doesn't sound like you're talking to your users. That will make it a lot easier!
I think the solution is quite simple. Everyone should own some robots. Either through financial assets or they posses them directly.
