When you create things with Facebook, Facebook owns that data. It's in the ToS and they have the right to tell you what you can or cannot do with it. If that's a problem for you don't use Facebook.

Networks exist because not everyone is an admin and web developer and wants to build their own website, and unless you own the pipe to the servers, the servers themselves, the software running on the server, and so on you have exactly whatever rights your provider of choice says you have and not one iota more.
I don't think that's a fair summary. Stateful cells have non-local and non-commutative evolution, which is why they're hard to distribute. These frameworks eliminate the non-locality, which isn't negotiable if you want to scale, but at the expense of preserving the requirement that you manually ensure commutativity.

Not a bad tradeoff, and I highly recommend the CR papers if you haven't read them. I'd say most programs have a natural expression in terms of revisions, and you're left with only a small set of circumstances where state simply must evolve consistently and atomically (airplane seat reservations, for instance).

I would still like a framework for reasoning about these circumstances that integrates naturally with CR though.

again, just to reiterate my unwavering unpopular viewpoint: having a single entity (or 2-3 colluding entities) control vaste swathes of the internet is fucking insane.

* 1 - 2 last mile providers per area.

* google virtually entire world search engine (pagerank variations used in every major one)

* facebook controls most of the worlds personal account info / verification

* twitter realtime sentiment and data broadcast.

facebook and twitter are less dangerous than time warner and google, but facebook is still massively dangerous because a real fb account is more proveable than a ssn. its 10 digits vs, 10 years of your digital life, including any part of your life that ws important to someone else.

this is fine. If you don't like it, use duckduckgo or bing's version of pagerank.

> Cool tech, fun toy! I hope it is successful. I think Joel should focus on it's toy-like nature, and potential as a learning tool, rather than trying to build this into a production grade tool.

Agreed, and I think the latter part of the post (the "FAQ") indicates that Joel doesn't see this as a deployment strategy for professional developers...

"Listen, this is not the future of all software development. Professional software development teams will continue to use professional, robust tools like Git and that’s great. But it’s surprising how just having continuous merging and reliable Undo solves the “version control” problem for all kinds of simple coding problems. And it really does create an insanely addictive form of collaboration that supercharges your team productivity."

Basically it's a platform that makes a major trade-off: practically zero accountability in exchange for maximum usability. To us professionals, this doesn't seem like a worthwhile choice. However, to those non-programmers or budding programmers which I believe this product is geared towards, it's a step in the right direction. This feels like it wants to be the "Google Docs" of programming.

What you just described has already been there for months, before the C++ port happened, however, we still needed a C++ port so that we can draw in some experienced devs who were mainly at home in C/C++ land to do the Vulkan part, and also because it is easier to compile for both our buildbot and other users.

Anyway, you can use the external Rust renderer through this C-based API, or the C++ integrated renderer. The main point is to keep both codebases more or less in sync with each other.

Libretro as a project generally favors C/C++ codebases. There is one or two Rust-based cores, though, which happen to be done by the same author, simias (same guy the renderer here comes from).

Maybe not what you want, but in 2008, the CEO of KBS, South Korea's public broadcasting corporation, was fired by the government for having agreed to court settlement in dispute with National Tax Service over how much tax KBS should pay.

Yes, he was fired because he had followed the settlement suggested by the freaking court. (The real reason was that he was a liberal appointed by the previous president Roh, and the new government led by conservative Lee Myung-Bak wanted him gone.)

Years later the court ruled that the firing was unlawful (duh), but somehow he wasn't reinstated, and anyways, the damage was done.

The Band kids had all played Set for hours on buses, the rest of us had only played it once or twice and lost interest.
The problem with this analysis is "GamerGate" is, and was within days of being coined, overwhelmingly defined by group (2). It does not help at all that one of the first sparks igniting the "ethics in journalism" conflagration was a tell-all open letter from the jilted ex-lover of a female game developer; in a universe of slime and corruption in every form of trade journalism, GamerGate chose this one to get started over.

Are there ethical issues in the trade press? Of course there are. But good-faith advocates of clean trade journalism by and large shun the label "GamerGate", because it's so pungently associated with bad-faith advocacy that targets women.

Therefore, identifying multiple distinct factions embroiled in "the GamerGate controversy", even if they include people with a legitimate interest in "ethics in journalism", just isn't dispositive. The argument that GamerGate is about misogyny easily survives that rebuttal.

You could create basic income as a family of associated benefits.

Brute force as an attack vector is dealt with by requiring "strong" passwords, not by using scrypt, so the thought of using a hash that protects all passwords equally with respect to the time it takes to try one, as an extra layer of defense for those weakest of the "strong" passwords, doesn't usually come up unless you're actually looking into how to design a login system instead of just copying from somewhere/some book as fast as you can and moving on. This issue with Tumblr that late doesn't surprise me at all.

At least one major benefit of SHA over MD5 is that you won't trivially find collisions and thus compromise the accounts of even those users with strong passwords...

Sorry, welfare programs.
I'm a complete armchair economist and realize that a lot of really smart people are tackling this, but, in my limited understanding of supply and demand, my concern would be that a new floor for basic goods and services would materialize due to the new buying power of those on Basic Income. Doesn't that artificially inflate the base price of those goods and services without ever having a natural (market-based) opportunity to decrease? I'm interested in any literature that might address this basic principal, because I suspect it may be more complicated than I am imagining. This is sort of tangential (from a healthcare perspective), but I'm also interested in any research from a historical perspective pertaining to adjusted price history as health insurance became more popular / commonplace within society (probably, in particular, American society as I'm sure it has been allowed to flourish for much longer here). Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be most appreciated.

I don't think that's a fair statement. If someone has done something badly, they've done it badly and they should be told that. You're not doing anyone any benefit by sugar coating it by first saying "great job on trying". Personally, I prefer getting a frank and honest review of my work rather than having to tease out why someone doesn't like it but they won't state it plainly because they'll "hurt my feelings". We're discussing code, and if code is bad then we should make it clear that it's bad, say how to do it better, and move on.
Because security is actually really hard, contrary to popular opinion.

As an industry, I think we need to rethink the way we develop, package, and deploy web apps. The fact that we rely on individual developers and sysadmins to get security right, perfectly, every time is crazy. In an ideal world the prod environment should protect me from shooting myself in the foot, and the OS should be running a hardened-by-default, single-purpose system image that doesn't require bespoke knowledge to make secure.

While far from perfect, I think the PaaS vendors (AppEngine and Heroku) got a lot of things right in this regard.

I've been wondering something about SSD density...

Today, ignoring this new drive, you can buy a 1TB m.2 SSD that is 1/20th the size of a 2.5" disk, but the largest 2.5" SSD samsung sells is 2TB. It always seemed odd that the drive 20 times larger in physical size only has twice the capacity as the postage stamp sized version.

I wonder how large of a 2.5" disk samsung could make if cost was not an obstacle... maybe this drive (that you can't actually buy yet) is what you would get?

OP here.

Many of you have helped out with the mRhythm Study we launched a couple of months ago:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cardiogram/id1000017994?ls=1...

https://mRhythmstudy.org

We're planning to start publishing some of the insights we're learning from the study, and we thought we'd kick off with a post on the foundations:

* How normal rhythm varies and why an "irregular pulse" is actually normal

* What optical heart rate sensors measure, and how they're different from the ECGs commonly used in hospitals.

* An example of an "irregularly irregular" abnormal heart rhythm.

* An example of a regular abnormal heart rhythm (atrial flutter)

* An answer to one of the most common questions we hear, "Could Apple Watch detect heart attacks?" (Short answer: not yet.)

If you have questions or things you're curious about for the next few posts... we'd love to hear your thoughts!

I built something like this[0] at a past job based on Yocto Linux and Midori. I targetted at the SolidRun CuBox because shipping an RPi to customer site didn't communicate the level of professionalism we were looking for. :)

My goals were small size and building something very secure, and I think I pulled it off. The resulting disk image is on the order of a couple hundred megabytes, iirc (X is very big), and it does not permit interactive login by default (no ssh). It also runs the root filesystem in read-only mode. As a bonus, you get the entire Yocto ecosystem.

Honest question: why do you think that's a useful usecase? I've never thought of using two versions of the same library, mainly due to fear of nasal demons.

Also, you could do symbol versioning like glibc does and then just keep the old code in the library for backwards compatibility.

The difference is that this comes out the BI before it is given to you as cash. $X is a fixed-price out of the BI, that provides a fixed amount of foodstuffs.

That is, if my monthly BI payment is $800 I can opt to receive a monthly BI payment of $600 and also be guaranteed to receive enough basic foodstuffs to survive for the month.

I would also set these up to draw off the next month's BI payment, effectively allowing you access to short-term credit for groceries. If we are in mid-june and I've run-out of money, I can start the government foods program immediately, taking the funding out of my July BI check.

These services would be intended for people who are having a hard-time managing their finances in a responsible-way. Grocery stores neither help people manage their money or provide short-term credit solutions.
