CloudFlare's half-baked SSL: suspicious sockets layer
I wholeheartedly agree.

It is a bit like Unix principles (please, don't hit me!) - if program succeeded it should not output anything by default.

Problem of course is if something is taking longer time. I prefer microwaves with single ding at the end to one that is beeping every 3 seconds (I have such one at my work). Of course microwaves have also clear progress bar. Android is guilty many times of doing something in background and not showing it at all. I think that abundance of log messages or showing progress is just laziness at users expense.

My Roomba talks to me in my language when something is wrong. It is helpful for less common notifications (like clean the brush). But it is annoying for common things - like Roomba notifying that it stuck on the middle of carpet for no apparent reason. In common case I would prefer it to not occur than to have other means of notifying me.

Status lights should be so much dimmer than lights currently most devices have. With all the devices around me it sometimes looks like it's Christmas.

Modal popups are very hard to do right. I think many times it would be better to have simple means of undoing the action with non-modal popup and additional way to undo not that recent actions. I understand that it may be not that easy - i.e. removing something. For example I am baffled that adding a word to dictionary in Google Keyboard needs additional popup (that appears half a second later thanks to useless animation). I would prefer it to just show non obstructing popup with option to undo addition of the word.
Rehashes and bad probing behaviour aren't quite the same thing, but I'll let it count and admit I may have replied too quickly ;)

I mean it is SETI. Aliens are literally in the name. So yeah, I don't quite understand it either. Let people's imagination's run wild, it generates interest and hopefully ignites some young minds to become active in the effort and learn.
I'd rather see articles about how to manage complexity at scale rather than about performance in apps so simple you'd be better off in raw javascript anyways.

Show me a framework which handles optimistic updates, knows how to query multiple data sources and merge their values, doesn't make it harder to reason about as I add more components and then I'll be very interested.

These are only a few of the hard problems to solve when building an app and I feel most frameworks completely ignore them and instead take the easy route of how quickly can I write yet another TodoMVC.

Journalist critic of Putin found dead in his apartment
> Fundamentally if money changes hands for an endorsement to take place it is no longer an authentic endorsement.

I wholeheartedly agree that this is common, and need to be disclosed.

However, I work for a brand that is genuinely loved (not hard: we deliver food) has cult following (think major rappers mentioning us casually as a euphemism for chilling) and if we pay anyone to endorse us (I do not know that we have in the past) we’ll probably start by actual fans. Their endorsement will be authentic in that sense.

We have sent free food to celebrities during special occasions (not money, but the equivalent is easy to make); I don’t think we’ve ever agreed with them before hand — we just knew they were going to be hungry. They generally learned we took the initiative via a public announcement (@-mention on twitter).

> How can we make corporations care about something other then profit?

I can honestly confess this corporation cares about food a lot. More than money… Well, the two are fungible.
I'd imagine it has something to do with having eyes, ears and a brain
Or just use Javascript as-is, with perhaps Node.js or Nashorn on the back end.

But I actually like Javascript.
There's definitely a sense that some artists are intentionally writing for the "drop pile" (songs easily and cheaply licensed) of Ad Execs and Marketing.

Several electronic artists, Celldweller being the big one off the top of my head, have been somewhat intentionally building instrumental works just for the off chance that Hollywood wants something "epic ready" for a film trailer. (He has an entire "series" of albums geared towards this called Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head. Several of them will probably have heard before in film trailers.)

Even one of my cousins' bands engaged with this in a meta-joking way by titling one of their recent albums "Music for Car Commercials".
Swedens I believe largest operators 3 and Telia has unlimited or a large amount of data that doesn't count towards the usual data limits when using specially selected services such as Spotify and Facebook.

It may not justify the valuation they want.. which is another issue.

Sadly, the current situation seems to be optimal for Docker inc, even if it is not optimal for users of Docker.

K8s makes docker commoditized. For example, I am running GKE k8s cluster and I only use docker directly to take Dockerfile and produce an image. I push images to google replacement of docker hub - google container registry. I run things locally via minikube. If GKE would be using something custom to run images I would not even notice. I am close to the point that switching from docker to rkt would be barely noticeable.
And not so much care for the transpiler hoop jumping routine.
I think it would be a win for ordinary citizens(both EU and US) and perhaps each individual state too(unless you consider tax a bad thing) because the taxes help the governments to develop the infrastructure(i.e. schools, logistics etc) thus they can create more value.

I have doubts that these MNCs help the society that much to be eligible for these tax breaks. They are not charities... The loss for the EU as a economic partner is negligible.
It would not be out of character for the cryptocurrency scene. Quite the opposite.
Nothing really can be done for the meat. Meat needs to be allowed to cool, rapidly, or it spoils. That's why field dressing deer is so important. You remove the guts and core of the animal to lower the temperature of the meat as quickly as possible. So if the meat has been sitting for even half a day it's long gone.

If the U.S. doesn't sign the TPP, it is not bound by it, regardless of how many other countries support it. But, e.g. Massachusetts was bound by the Defense of Marriage Act for ~20 years even though a majority of its Congressmen and both of its Senators voted against it. That's not sovereignty.

EU rules are like U.S. federal laws, not WTO treaties. Member states can be bound by them even if their representatives vote against them.
T-mobile used to do this in Germany until earlier this month. In their FAQ [1], they state that the following in spotify count against customers' data plan: videos, album covers, sharing, and Spotify's "discovery" feature. They add a flat 100MB to the data plan to cover that. Note that the streaming of music is not included, so it doesn't count towards data usage.

They stopped offering this to new customers on August 2nd, 2016.

Whatever the nominal point of the EU, the reality is that it massively benefits Germany, France and (formerly) the UK at the expense of the periphery - especially the southern periphery.

The Euro has been an absolute disaster for the PIGS - precisely because it has legitimised nationalist economic policies within a nominally (but disingenuously) open trade zone.

That's bad enough on its own, but the German and French right wing are immensely fond of couching this as a moral failure on the part of the feckless, lazy southerners who don't work hard enough to pay their bills.

That's criminally offensive to the economic reality, which is that the Euro has mostly become an excuse for loan sharking and economic exploitation.

Tax policy is a confused footnote. Juncker, who is so very very ashamed of Ireland, was in charge of putting in place very similar sweetheart deals in Luxembourg - a fact which he seems to be trying hard to deny.

To continue the thought... What about time on different planets? Our time is based on solar revolutions (mostly). If Mars had the same, their time would be different from ours very quickly.

Because I intentionally excluded that category, under the qualification that I was talking about programs with a vertical learning curve, that also had intros to programming that didn't actually have lectures about programming. You clearly read those words, so the problem is either reading comprehension or being intentionally obtuse.
It's been a very long time since humans haven't been dependent on machines. There's a legitimate question to how complex the supply chains are that produce those machines, and whether as a result it makes society and civilization more fragile (if I'm dependent on farm implements from a blacksmith in the center of town, that's different from being dependent on LED displays only made in 3 factories in the world, all of which are on the other side of the planet). But I think the general idea of "don't become dependent on machines" is a ship that sailed long before any of us were even born.
Its a pure Time Series data with sensor is recording approx every 1 sec. Which protocol you are using to send this data to server , as posting every 1 sec oever TCP for a sensor doesn't seems a good idea.

"Russia makes Propaganda."

"That's ironic for them to say, as you're complicit in making American Propaganda."

"These countries agree that Russia makes propaganda."

Well, I've seen a lot of badly written monoliths. Whether or not that's coincidental is a point worth considering.
- Language will be a problem. Speaking more than 1 language will help.

- Access to public bathroom is going to be another - like even public bathroom in place like Walmart-equivalent cannot be assumed to be generally available.

- Legality and Cultural acceptance is going to vary country by country. In my home country, a single man living in his van will be reported to the police the second nights he stays in the same place, and he will be asked to move somewhere else at the very least.

- You pointed out to a gym being available across Europe, but the replacement, swimming pools are not anywhere as available as gyms. There is no public toilet at the public library that is next to my place. Public shower are often restricted to professional drivers and I haven't seen one outside of the highway or trucking road.

- Insuring your car requires to have a physical residence in a country, and you generally can't legally be more than a few months in a country with foreign registration. Similarly depending on the age of your car, your country may require a yearly car check which mean you need to be around there at that time.

- Internet access - you will need to prepare that a bit more carefully.

- What about taxes ? That's another thing you have to know when crossing several countries.

- Stupid little things like currencies.

So going across Europe is going to be more adventurous than in a country that has road-trip in its DNA, and depending on the country, even staying in a single one is going to be more adventurous. Of course it's all relative, that is harder than in the US, but nowhere as hard as for Syrian refugee in Turkey.

Could that be a personnel training problem? The data in such a case would be saying there is a high number of crime victims, even if that number is correlated with the number of people committing crimes. And unless there's a corpse, the reports generally come from victims, not surveillance of criminals committing acts.

Officers making themselves visible on the street and checking to make sure people are safe and finding out from them where dangers might come from, is different than directly treating everyone on the street like they're potential criminals.

The comment I found most useful:

We believe a signal when

It is persistent. It appears at the same spot in the sky in multiple observations.

It only comes from one spot in the sky.

If we reobserve the target, the signal is still there.

Things that add to believability

Its frequency/period/delay does not correspond to known interference.

Its Doppler Drift rate indicates that it is exactly frequency stable in the frame of the center of mass of the solar system

Its properties (bandwidth, chirp rate, encoding) indicate intelligent origin.

Unfortunately the observing method used by the Russian team does not permit many of these things to be determine. 1. The signal was not persistent. 2. The signal was gone when the target was reobserved. 3. The signal frequency/period/delay cannot be determined. 4. The signal Doppler drift rate is unknown. 5. Many sources of interference, including satellites, are present in the observing band.

From the article: "A space-based DNA sequencer would be an important tool to help protect astronaut health during long duration missions on the journey to Mars, and future explorers could also potentially use the technology to identify DNA-based life forms beyond Earth."

I would say any amount of money is worth that. This is an extremely valuable research to let us understand more about life in space.
Brave has a desktop mode that mostly works and a built-in adblocker.

It does not have a `quick JS disable` button.

It also doesn't have a speed dial that I can manually add items to, which is one very important item that I forgot to mention earlier.

What I really want to do is make an open source browser that I can compile and put on my iOS devices myself too, without going to the app store. Then I could add all sorts of features and extensions without having to ask Apple.
I don't think that's true by necessity, although it can be. Endorsements are worth money, so it's reasonable to pay for them. Let's say I love Taco Bell (I do) and also I'm a celebrity (I'm not). Even though I genuinely love Taco Bell I wouldn't do a radio commercial for them for free -- but if they offered me money to do it I would, because I love the product. They pay me for my reach and I do it in good conscience because I actually like the product.

Problem becomes when your reach is so large essentially anyone is willing to pay you five figures to hawk anything. I can see how that would be enticing.

Ultimately we (the public) have to realize that celebs are just people, who may not have special knowledge about the kinds of products they're selling. Their value is in their reach, not their expertise, so take celebrity endorsements with a grain of salt.
I suppose that's true. For most of my life I was, however unconsciously, on a side which considers ignorance of history to be emancipation; without speculating on whether or not that's accurate, I will say that, in discovering and gaining what knowledge and understanding of history I have, I found also that with greater knowledge of the past comes greater understanding of the present. But perhaps that's not true for everyone.
TBF, I've almost definitely written that code a number of times, though I'm not sure it's made it's way into any production code.
Sorry. I feel bad about using click bait titles but they do kind of work...
IMHO, the space example is bad. I have no interest in space travel. Not because I don't believe in technology, but because I don't think there's anything appealing about going to space. Yeah, I think living on some cool Star Trek planet would be fun, but we're talking about the moon or Mars. They are, well, rocks. For a lot of people, like Thiel, space is like Plan B, where we go to after we blow up the earth. I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. And should it happen, the earth during a nuclear winter will still be infinitely more hospitable than some plastic pod on Mars.

Space-stuff is a cerebral pleasure. As an astronaut you can feel in awe as you experience the sum total of human technological prowess. But space is a horrible sensual pleasure. Mindnumbingly dull, ugly, and most of all, shackled. No personal freedom, fully a slave to the overlords in Houston.

Let space to the robots. They can go mine ores, take pictures, and putz around in the dust. But that sounds like a terrible way to spend time as a human.
And that convergence is more politically than technically driven.
It depends on what it is.

Giving people money to buy food is much easier and cheaper than setting up and administering a system to provide food for people, monitor compliance, etc. Food is available just about anywhere from an enormous number of vendors, producers, suppliers, etc. There's no reason to get government too closely involved there, except of course for food-safety inspections and the like, which we already have. Food is a very competitive industry.

Healthcare, on the other hand, is totally different, and we're already seeing how trying to use a free-market approach there just doesn't work. This is an industry that needs some kind of nationalization (like single-payer coverage, plus a lot of regulation to keep costs down). No one calls up 3 different ERs and ambulance companies when they have a heart attack to see which one offers the best price and service.
Except of course considering the fact that Google Engineers probably have some experience with scalability. Not to mention that the current Kubernetes community has an incredibly open design process, and is very community-oriented. So it's very far from its origins as an ex-Googler project.
The honest answer! Thank you.

>The EU simply wants to get its grubby little hands on Apple's money so they can use it for more dole-outs to friends of the bureaucrats...

I'm not sure why so many people think this was a move about fairness.

It's just a grab of money and power from politicians, as expected. I wish this money/power grab were not so widely defended by so many people.

I once attended a course on the .NET memory management and GC model taught by Jeffrey Richter, who was on the CLR team for some time. His opinion was that you should never use "using", and that he opposed adding it to the language at all, but was overridden. At the end of the day I think that's a little excessive, but I do try to avoid "using" unless I know the surrounding object has a long lifecycle and the IDisposable utilizes a very limited resource.
I think one difference is that with celebrity endorsements, you actually see the brand in action. With the Kim Kardashian example in the article, we don't really know if she uses that hair product.
I agree! But the compile-time interpreter isn't really "full". For example, you can't do arbitrary I/O in a compile-time expression (by design). Non-portable casts and inline ASM are other exceptions. See [1] for the full story.

But will that actually help? I could easily imagine Facebook matching people who have shared contact numbers, even if the contact number shared is not associated with an account. Possibly they don't do that to try to avoid this situation.

I think this issue requires action from Facebook. The minimum they should do is allow numbers to be registered to be not used for making connections. Much better would be for them to be more explicit about what information they are collecting (with sufficient guidance that the user understands that medical privacy can be affected) and allow users to not send them that information in the first place. I can't imagine them doing that voluntarily, though.
