> Getting a workable cert is currently not possible: for example the LAN names aren't going to be unique

Connectivity [1] and using a global namespace are orthogonal things: you can use global DNS namespace just fine independent of connectivity. So from the naming perspective it Just Works if you get certs for printer.yourhouse.you.tld and fridge.yourhouse.you.tld.

(Of course you'd still like an automated cert renewal system for this disconnected case, but that's just a "simple matter of programming".)

[1] assuming by "LAN" you meant "network disconnected from the Internet"
>You're motivated to keep existing, so are they.

This is kind of the point I'm arguing against. I'm sure many people would have struggles with their copies, but I think someone disciplined and with the right (well, useful) definitions of self and the meanings of survival internalized could avoid the issue entirely, and accept their short-livedness if they know another instance of themselves is going to continue.

It is a grant, not a salary. Generally grants are expected to be used for a year or two and you then look for another grant. At least, that's how it works in academia. Not many grants yet in open source so this is harder to make work :/
>Doesn't this seem short sighted?

there's a balance between planning for the future and unreasonable expectations or overplanning. expecting concrete to last 100 years seems like a reasonable expectation to me. We might not be post-container-ship in 100 years, but there's a good chance there's some other reason the current locks are obsolete - anything from the locks being too small, to Gatun lake being dried up, to automated ports making it easier to unload, transport overland, and re-load onto a waiting ship.

Why bother with helipads ? Silicon valley has plenty of parkings and it is actually perfectly legal to land on them (assuming of course your plane is capable of that, which most aren't).

This is assuming you have permission from the owner, of course, but that seems likely not to be a problem.
What concerns me the most about nuclear weapons is that the technical barriers to building them are getting lower all the time. They're currently within reach of despotic states of below average scientific capacity. All that's required is the will to defy the world (e.g. North Korea). Given how North Korea and Iraq have been treated lately, what despot wouldn't pursue nuclear weapons if he thought he could succeed in building them fast enough to avoid being invaded?

In the future, the barrier will be even lower. Nuclear weapons will likely fall within reach of motivated and capable terrorist movements such as ISIL, although I'd be more worried about organizations that haven't carved out territory that's easy to attack. Once that happens, things could get very ugly. There is no such thing as MAD with a distributed terrorist organization.

Missile defense systems offer no real answers. They don't work against state of the art missiles (such as Russia has), nor do they work against smuggled bombs or bombs built within the borders of their target nation. The kind of surveillance that would be required to adequately secure a nation against such weapons is the stuff Orwell never even dreamed of. It would require utterly pervasive, invasive, and constant surveillance.
Man, if I was Russian I think I'd be even more likely to believe it happened than if I was American. I mean, given the propensity for governments over the years to call events American conspiracies, the fact that Russian leaders haven't ever said the landing was faked when they'd be gleeful to say it if it was is conspicuous.

A browser doesn't download, install and execute that file though. Check out the GIFs on their announcement[1]. They show a Google search result page linking to a URL that seemlessly takes the user to a platform specific binary.

I expect that they'll give Instant Apps higher ranking. It's what they did with Google+ profiles and AMP pages. If Google gives people better SEO by converting their pages to native apps then that's a huge carrot for businesses to move their development to this platform. And the web is going to be made a second class citizen, even in the browser.

Google wins because they have companies and consumers locked into their ecosystem. Apple and Microsoft lose because they can't run Instant Apps like they can with web apps. Consumers lose because they're locked into Android.

If Microsoft were doing this it would be viewed with skepticism and labeled "Embrace, extend, extinguish". I think that eventually we're going to realize that having a single company control the world's most popular OS, most popular browser and most popular entry point to the web is a not a good place to be in.

What you're used to seeing might be better described as "class-oriented programming", i.e. Java's take on OOP. Once you realize that `this` is just an implicit parameter and objects are just closures (look at Javascript's OOP for a good illustration of this principle), and you start to think about how objects can interact reliably across interfaces/languages/networks/failures, you more-or-less inevitably end up at "message-oriented programming", i.e. Smalltalk's take on OOP, wrapped up in declarative/functional APIs.

It may be a gray area, but I, personally, have a moral and ethical bias against slavery and those who condone or enable it.

A hammer cannot be enslaved. A robot that is not sentient cannot be enslaved. I am against making something of that ilk that can be enslaved. Not because I disagree with the act of creation, but because I am against slavery.

It's not necessary to create sentience in our tools. Leave them as tools. It saves time, effort and anguish.

And I won't have to go to war with a slaveholder.

There are so many planes that cannot land in the event of complete electrical failure ... starting with every last modern passenger airliner. There the problem is that human strength is not enough to control flaps and hydraulics are too heavy (translation: possible but too expensive), but if the electrical infrastructure completely fails ... it's over. Plane will lose control, rapidly spin out of control and dive chaotically into the scenery.

It hasn't happened yet.
Of course, by "true cost" you mean the artificial costs that you want government to impose to make fracking more expensive for no reason other than that it offends your sensibilities that consumers want to buy "plastic crap" that you disapprove of and heat their homes inexpensively.

I hope this type of funding continues to grow. A significant number of people getting paid to contribute to public software sounds like some utopia to me.

More people could strive to create projects that actually make the world a better place, instead of another SaaS product to pay the bills. Some (many, all?) open source projects provide exponentially more to the world than was ever invested both monetarily and in donated time. There is not often an obvious gain for investors, though, so the practice of selfless funding remains a privilege to few.
I like the socks quite a lot. they are much thinner and more lightweight than balegas, but they fit my foot a bit better and they breathe really great.

I am dubious. Mostly, because preserving and enriching a despot means catering to their whims.

A despot's pet nuclear project is likely to have an authentic red button (provided in any variety of interfaces, telephone, mechanical lock and key, fingerprint authenticated, whatever). If one imagines themselves as a despot, the ego almost demands it.

Between the despot, The Button, and the operational weapons, there are many layers of human factors. Maybe the red button is a placebo, and the underlings, being less suicidal than their singular leader, would never permit the button to perform its dreaded task, but is that assured?
It may not be profitable to a full-time Uber driver, but I think Uber can be a good part-time job. You can driver whenever you want, so you can work when no other work is available.

Further, I've heard you can deduct car-related from your Uber earnings. If you have a car already and can do this successfully, your Uber income is effectively tax-free until the IRS cracks down.

I'm a Webpass customer. Pretty amazing service. Although lately they have been suffering from some slow speeds at peak times. I think its just growing pains due to large increases in their customer base. I believe it will be back to high speed soon.

I've also been a vegetarian for the last decade and change, and the idea of eating dead animals disgusts me, as does the taste of it.

I find it very difficult to understand how meat eaters can manage to get it through their throat without throwing up, but to each their own.

I sometimes get comments about how environmentally conscious I am or how ethical I am for being vegetarian, but I don't feel virtuous at all. It doesn't take any special willpower for me not to eat meat, I have zero craving for it.

I hate vegetarian food that tries to replicate the taste and texture of meat.

As other commenters have mentioned, there's a big market for just honest vegetarian cooking that does not try to imitate anything.

The same goes for food as for people: just be yourself! Don't try to be something you're not.
This is when you need to build on your experience and go back for another shot. Maybe try a free variant with IAP.

We had a similar run to you. Built http://www.hexiledgame.com/ and had great reviews and some flurries of downloads, but outside of features and basic press, it's hard to really get rolling. Our game was free with one optional IAP to unlock extra modes more quickly, remove ads, etc - I thought that was a reasonable middle ground.

If I was doing it over and wanted to make money, I'd spend more time on virality, incentives to keep people playing, and not cap the most a hardcore fan can spend on that single IAP we had.

The reality is that a paid game needs to get especially lucky to maintain features or word of mouth and see a serious return.
Wrong. When traders are using vessels to capture the congango spread, they park the vessels near a demand center, not in the middle of the route. Furthermore, unless you own the vessel or have it on a time charter, somebody else has claim to that vessel after you, and if you take too long the demurrage fines quickly outgrow the price spreads you're hoping to profit on.

Valve doesn't manufacture Steam Machines, OEMs do. Are the OEMs making their money back? Well, Valve has disclosed that 500k Steam Controllers have been sold (as the article notes) which is a hard upper bound on the possible number of Steam Machines sold since each Steam Machine comes with one Steam Controller. Practically speaking, probably less than a third of them actually sold with Steam Machines and that third is spread across all the OEMs making Steam Machines. So, no, probably not enough to make it worthwhile for any of them.

Valve isn't a public company so they're not obligated to provide any financial data, meaning that there's none available for deeper analysis.

I wasn't aware of that. I'll have to look into it.
The author doesn't consider the probabilities because he refutes the whole notion altogether. The point is that being able to create a simulation (imitation) of reality (a game for example) is completely different from creating a different, separate reality. The simulations that we create are always, and by necessity, inside the real world, the only one that really exists.

Inside a game, there is no virtual reality. The only thing that exists inside a machine are electric voltages. The simulation provided by a game only woks for us, who are already in the real world, observing the simulation. And these simulations only work because they replicates real things that we already know. For any kind of "being" "living" in the simulation itself, there is nothing of importance other than a bunch of electrical impulses in silicon.

In this simplified system, the number of these cell wall genes in the genome is proportional to the quantity of the cell wall proteins produced. It's more of a quantity issue, rather than a dependency issue. For example, having more developers usually results in more lines of code written in a given period of time, especially in enterprise. The quality of code might be questionable but the quantity is usually there.

I personally think this is a good move for Tesla and Solarcity with many cities and power companies blocking net metering for new solar homes. This way Tesla can utilize the full battery production it is expecting with its giga factory even if the Tesla car production isn't ramped up. And this would allow Tesla to buy all of Panasonic production as well without loosing it to competing car manufacturers.
Tesla could probably sell the solar panel based charging system to Tesla car owners. As they have market for environmental conscious Tesla owners who feel filling up with coal or gas based electricity is not enough.
Both statements could be true - I wouldn't be too surprised to see Apple stretch the truth; yes, it's true, performance on a 25 second boot (my iphone 6s) from cold was improved to 24 seconds. Doesn't really move the needle, but still true, to some degree. A second here, and a second there - starts to add up though, particularly on boot up, for those of us who end up doing that multiple times a day.

Also, in general, any time you can remove code from a system, that isn't contributing in any meaningful way, is just a good thing to do - both from reducing attack surfaces, as well as general reduction in code size, and the advantages that come along with that.
Sort of. Font substitution is a thing in most operating systems. As long as one font on the system has those characters it should work.

Not always true though, and can depend on the application using the right system calls for rendering text (for example).
Hats off to Cockroach Labs
Systems have a way of finding fall-back fonts. At least on OS X (err, macOS) they will satisfy glyph requests in order from the font you specify, some built-in fonts, and then any fonts that have the required glyphs. Finally, a "last resort" font is used to fill in any remaining glyphs[1].

A result of this is that if you ask for a character such as "𓀴" (U+13034 EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPH A044) in a monospace font, the symbol you get back can be variable width.

I can't put it better than the article, “Coding is the new literacy: Like the ability to read, what was once optional will soon be a basic requirement.”

I can speak to my field: in the sciences, coding is ubiquitous across disciplines. Used in theory and experiment. Some have called it the 'third pillar of scientific inquiry'.

I can imagine coding will repace or at least become a useful skill in many more industries, such as medicine, law, business, even truck driving.

I hope this reduces the cost of their business offerings. I love the service, and the home offering is the deal of the century, but $500/month for 50Mb/sec symmetric or $250/month for 20Mb/sec symmetric is hard to swallow for our business (or any other).

They offer faster service (gigabit and probably more) but what startup can pay 10k/month for their business internet?

What's worse is monkeybrains and webpass should seemingly compete on price for business offerings but it seems like they actually collude. Their pricing for businesses is exactly the same.
