I really have a hard time understanding this kind of attitude.

No one is advocating that you _don't_ own a car. Cars were a great invention, they've reduced the size of our world, and genuinely made life better, no doubt.

But an entire world undertaking clown-like 40 mile commutes each way, or getting into their tin boxes just to drive down to a store 3 miles away to buy some dishwashing soap because they're too lazy for bikes is no panacea either. Because what you're saying that your store is literally less than two train stations away, and you can only make that journey in a car.

And that hyperbole about the "little of privacy we have left" is exactly that. Hyperbolic. What exactly are you doing in a car during your morning commute that requires levels of privacy that trains simply cannot offer? Listening to music? Reading a book? Working on your laptop? News flash. You can do all of that on a train, and no one cares.

What I will concede is that the US is particularly idiotic in not offering even a semblance of reliability in their public transport. I stayed in DC, and the metro their is prone to failure, with the buses being even less frequent and late. However, a well functioning public transit system is a blessing and every city/suburb lacking it is the worse for it.

Most of the big providers will open images by default (sometimes via a proxy) if your message passes DKIM and SPF.
Don't think I've seen any non-server-grade processors in even the cheapest bargain-basement VPS hosts. (Low-end dedicated is different.) Cramming as many VMs into a big server as possible seems to be too important to their cost structure for that.
I'm not sure if your assertions are true, but I passionately want them to be so.
But you're in public, why would you have any expectation of privacy?

Heck, even my mother is able to change the battery of her Samsung phone when she's out all day taking pictures, and she's as far as it gets from an engineer.

Bringing the argument of "consumers want something that works" every time some are looking for a repairability/upgradeability path only leads to this false dichotomy of splitting the world between nerds and fools.

I don't trust third parties, no matter who they are. Technology can be developed so that the burden on the user is reduced, but nodoby wants to go there, because after all companies do want to have as many data about the user as they can...
> First and foremost, always, always, always, split test EVERYTHING.
Well most side projects I think have very little traffic / customers, due to most side projects being done by developers (not marketers) and these developers having little time to work on them. It's a bit of a waste of time to AB test a project when you don't have enough traffic / user activity to generate meaningful results.
Did you benchmark Go vs C/C++ for parallel image processing ? I'm curious to see if there is actually a cost into switching to a higher lever language like Go.

I've seen a couple of case studies about single users using kratom to get off of stronger opioids, but no at-scale studies. But there is a reasonable amount of other literature relating to kratom and its primary alkaloids, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.

Of particular interest is that these alkaloids are G-protein-biased agonists of the mu-opioid receptor - which also do not recruit β-arrestin[1] following receptor activation. It is β-arrestin recruitment that is responsible for the main side effects of opiates - respiratory depression, constipation, histamine release and build up of tolerance (which is what leads to withdrawals upon cessation). This is a very big deal.

I am a kratom user myself, using it to treat bad neuropathic pain. I am prescribed opiates, but kratom doesn't space me out like they do, there is no respiratory depression, no apparent histamine release, the constipation is much less, and I've been at the same dose for over a year. Honestly, for me it's a wonderdrug.

Supported =/= working. A 1956 car is obviously not "supported" by the manufacturer or even by road laws of most countries, but it can still work if you make an effort. With iOs apps you don't even get the chance.
First of all the simple things: Getting back the replacable parts feature of old phones.

Then context optimization: At one time I may need additional battery life, and another time I may need a second sim card.

Playing around myself: It could also become a raspberry pie with more add-ons and for the more software oriented tinkerers, and I am one of them. Playing around with the pie was always nice, but I didn't fully use it because the more creative stuff always required really working with the hardware, what I don't like at all.

Also let's not forget the Pokemon effect: If there is something that can be collected, ppl will have fun just in the collecting. And not everybody may agree but funding tech experiments by people paying for fun is a valid business model for me.
This sounds great until you realise that it's really just an sql-as-json-via-http database, that happens to use SQLite in the background.

... just don't be surprised if you suddenly no longer understand how your systems work, and cannot change them. It's important to relate the advice to the size of the company and the type of the market you're operating in.

- Should startups with two-digit employee counts start doing this? Not necessarily. Will the lack of documented policies, processes and procedures stop them from growing at some point in time? Definitely.

- Will this help you in a boutique business delivering highly individual solutions? Possibly, bot not necessarily. Will it help serve a massive customer base and use efficiencies of scale? Definitely.

There's definitely a difference between bureaucratic waste and establishing a minimal set of meaningful policies, processes and procedures. Let's not dismiss the idea based on this confusion.
That's oversimplification, Europe is a very different place with different history/geography/cultures. For one thing, everyone in Europe is squished together (relatively speaking) and has been for centuries.

Just because we could plan all our cities around trains doesn't mean Americans will want to. I think a lot of people here are overconfident about how much better it would be if we just build trains all over.

Not all of us want to wait around everyday to be packed into a smelly, dirty disease distribution system that can shut down your commute for hours or take away your ability to get anywhere for days when they have maintenance issues.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not (Poe's law), but here are two rebuttals anyway:

1. 5 minutes to drive anywhere in the suburbs---bwahahaha, you must be joking. When everyone lives in the suburbs, it's all sprawl, and some left turn lights take 5 minutes. You know, if I had to sum up one reason why I left the suburbs, it's the left turn lights in Silicon Valley: the roads are so large, they don't trust people to yield on left turns, so they make you wait for a left turn arrow whether there is traffic or not.

2. License plate recognition is much simpler and more reliable than face recognition. And it's already deployed. Just sayin'.
Cap of another (unopened) bottle works perfectly for this.
Do you know Pokemon? Don't you think collectable phone parts would not be a great business model? Even if this only barely works I thought it could make a lot of money and therefore was quite sure that someone would build it.

Nothing wrong with the message per se, but has the site been defaced too?
Eh, I disagree, since a lot of times we rely heavily on visual cues to make assessments and determinations, and are often wrong just because of poor vision.

Take for example persons with androgynous features and the difficulty some people have with identifying them. Children are particularly useful for this insight since they are unabashedly curious and inquisitive, and it's not uncommon to hear a child blurt out "is that a boy or a girl?"; it would seem to me that their categorization process, even if not refined, gets goofed by androgyny; something as simple as hair length or facial hair greatly influences a child's ability to easily discern if persno is male or female.

At some level there is a categorization process that seems to happen with humans when it comes to recognition, we just assign high confidence to certain factors. In the case of children, it seems to be they look at person and use common factors like hair length, facial hair, and body shape to determine gender. The sound of one's voice also helps, but this usually isn't something we can pick up as easily or from afar in public places. As an adult, we probably have more refined points, but they are essentially the same as a child's point of view. Instead of "body shape" adults look for specific facial features, size of breasts, walking gait, style of clothing, hair style, etc. These are all just granular differences of how a child understands it.

This gets into personal experience, but when I was in college, I had long hair and really fine skin/facial features. All the time I would hear little kids ask "why does he look like a girl?" or "why does that girl have a beard?". I had no issue with their confusion, they were just curious kids. Something confused their understanding, and once it was explained "sometimes men have long hair", they just sort of accepted it.
Do you really think if a citizen uses a concealed firearm in a movie theater to stop an attack the theater company would attempt to sue them or something? It is not illegal to carry a firearm inside a business that has a no gun policy. The worst that can happen is you are asked to leave. I carry my concealed weapon everywhere I go except state mandated exclusion zones.

I do not think Russia must be solely responsible for what's going on there.
Russian government and Putin himself does recognize artificial nature of climate change, as was shown in his speech on Climate Change Conference in 2015. Truth is that Russia did not make big contribution to it in last 25 years (yes, there's huge oil and gas industry, but most of it is being exported, so it's a responsibility of consumers to use it in emission-neutral way). Current emissions are more than 25% below 1990 levels - can you say such thing about America, China or India? And this happens not only due to reduced output, but also because of some investment in more environmentally friendly manufacturing (yes, Russia has ecological standards and they are enforced - unfortunately, not fully because of corruption). There exist government-sponsored programmes to invest in green energy (e.g. new manufacturing facilities for solar panels), close the top polluters (like BTsBK) and reduce car emissions. It's not that easy to transform such a big economy and fix all the issues of Soviet planning, so it will take time to change and become as green as e.g. Germany (I doubt it's even possible to start something costly like Energiewende in Russia at this moment).
Yes, but if you write an app that helps me get a cab, you get a share from that one business with the cab and me. You don't get a share of the next 100 cabs I use or the next 100 customers the cab gets without your app.

The service you provide should be paid well. But recurring income without telling any side of the business may even be illegal.
Sounds like a few factors.

Jan and Brian were uninterested in VC or business relationships to the extent that they were impossible to contact. There was no address on their website. There were no contact details. They ignored inbound emails. There was no signage on the building. They ignored press emails. But Sequoia knew they were in Mountain View and literally had partners walking the streets doing a physical search for them in order to initiate that contact. That's a pretty amazing effort.

Additionally, Sequoia have an internal tool called Earlybird they wrote themselves that monitored mobile app stores, which is how they noticed that WhatsApp was doing so well despite the fact that it had not taken off in the USA specifically. They relied on hard data collected systematically, rather than waiting for hot Bay Area startups that the VC's friends were using to turn up on their door.

And finally Sequoia had a great name that Koum associated with success.

There's a lot of great info in this video. I love WhatsApp partly because it violates so much received valley wisdom and yet has been so successful.
I once bought a burger that had a piece of steel wool in it.
Speaking as someone who turned their 5 year side project into a full time startup, I whole heartedly disagree with point 1 - split testing is likely to be a waste of your time.

Unless you have a tonne of traffic, and let's face it, side projects tend not to, A/B testing simply doesn't work. I've tried it a few times with BugMuncher, but the results take 3 - 4months, and are usually inconclusive. I've spoken to other people in similar situations and they've found the same thing. For reference, BugMuncher is lucky to see 3,000 uniques a month :)

I believe A/B testing is a good idea when you have the traffic for it, and I'd love to be able to make use of it, but unless your side project is getting 10s of thousands of unique views each month, there's much better things to spend your limited time on.
Right.

We've added instrumentation to our recognition capabilities in order to socialize and gossip about derived categories through language. In addition, we (can sometimes) use the formalized expressions of these categories prepared for socialization to ensure internal consistency.

Artificial neural networks that did something similar could have a number of major philosophical and practical advantages:
- enable decentralization of data sets
- grow with humans rather than apart from them
- enable identifying problematic internal inconsistencies

Xen has had page-table and interrupt vector related security vulnerabilities. But I don't think EC2 would use non-ECC RAM, so I don't think it's vulnerable to this "rowhammer" technique. (I also don't think EC2 would do cross-VM page deduplication, another necessary condition.)
Oh wow, you have me there.... Except we somehow still allow legal action on people for stalking others, even if they are just following them around in public spaces. I can imagine you as the defense lawyer saying "but she was in public your honor...". To be clear I'm only addressing the moral aspect of your point. I don't care about the legality.

For example, It's very different to argue that since I am in public I don't have the right to not be photographed compared to arguing that I don't have the right to not be tracked. These public transit systems have tracking built in from the start. At least stuff like traffic cams that are just bolted on to infrastructure can be fought

If what you had really was an extract, and not plain leaf, there is no way you would need to swallow 'an uncomfortably large number' of caps. Extracts are much more potent than plain leaf, and taking too much would cause nausea and vomiting.

Wholeheartedly agree here. As a one-man-band on most of my side projects, I simply don't have the time or resources to create multiple A/B cycles, with iteration after iteration until I think I've got the best conversion rate. In any case, as it is a side project and not my day job or primary skills, I could be A/B testing until the cows come home, and still not hit upon a magic landing page that improves my conversions.

A/B testing is best left to larger scale projects where you can dedicate a proper resource to it.

The shitty German translations are a big turn off for me, to be honest. Looks like a bot translated phishing mail...

It might be tolerable for a free as in beer service, but if anybody wanted me to pay for it, do the translation properly (e.g. hire somebody for a few bucks), or focus on languages you mastered first.
I am more likely to pay for a "proper" English-language service than a crappy "German"-language one, but that does not necessarily translate well to other Germans.
Yeah, that's not really going to solve bike theft. I'm not sure what kind of theft we're talking about in SF, but in Denmark, bikes go into the back of a truck heading for eastern Europe, for the most part.

I worked for a company that had the entire bike rack stolen. A truck just pulled up an few guy threw the entire rack, including all the bikes locked to the rack into a large truck.

Again, I don't know about SF, but Danish police don't really deal with bike thefts. That's an insurance problem, not something you waste police resources on. Of cause this makes it extremely frustrating to get your bike stolen. If you have GPS tracker in your bike you get track your bike leaving the country, the police is only rarely going to attempt to stop the thieves.
Not in the way the current system works because the publishers are doing nothing, they are just taking the papers as reviewed by the committee as-is.

In fact, with this law, we are most likely going to see is that the universities will automatically hook into something like: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/

When you submit a paper to a journal, your university normally request that you submit your paper to the internal university store. This store will then automatically push your paper to this open access library after X months.

If this moves this way, publishers would have to say: French researchers cannot publish with us any more....
I think its cool that they at least gave it a shot, but in the process it used up their stocks of unicorn blood.

Yes and thanks for correcting me otherwise I probably would've gone around saying that.

I agree about the UK. It wasn't always this way and I know lots of people who have headaches coming over. I deal with some of these headaches each year working on 44CON - in fact we had one speaker have their visa declined, which has never happened before.

Unfortunately the way the UK is going at the moment it seems isolationism is preferable, and I suspect things will only get worse.
Bookmarked this, for later reference - I've got a few small webshops that are under performing - the email follow up plan seems like a really good tactic. Cheers!
What I’ve learned so far from living in a Mars simulation
Your second point (passing tokens to third-party) is addressed by the new 'strict-dynamic' [1] keyword in CSP3. It allows nonced/hashed scripts to dynamically create child elements without explicitly passing the nonce.
E.g. you nonce/hash your google-maps widget loading script and 'strict-dynamic' will allow the widget to dynamically load additional child scripts (e.g. js module loading) via document.createElement/appendChild.
Therefore you only need to nonce the scripts you trust in your markup and don't need to refactor libraries to grab an pass on the nonce.

Some 'strict-dynamic' deployment examples:

But just about everyone has some such need, as well as components they couldn't give less of a shit about (the camera comes to mind, for me). The SoC is the expensive part that would need the economies of scale, but sadly there don't seem to be that many options in that space anyway.
