I'm flipping quickly through a copy of Arbesman's The Half-Life of Facts and am disappointed to see that he (or his editors) have fallen prey to the gross misconception that numbered footnotes and bibliographies somehow diminish a book's value. Quite the opposite. (THLoF has end notes, but they're not indicated within the text, and insted reference pages and passages, which is a form of torture to be included in a future revision of the Geneva Convention.)

> Can't charge while listening. [ using a standard cable]

This is a complete deal breaker for me. I was confident that apple was going to unveil two models, one which had the headphone jack and one which didn't.

Lenovo at least had the good sense to offer at least one model that still had the headphone jack, as they were introducing a similar model which did not.

I'm so disappointed in apple.
Ok, so I was confusing the home depot hack mentioned in the article with the target hack, but I dont want to edit my comment after so much discussion. I also want to point out that i was trying to show an exception, not to say that noone should ever be held accountable for a breach.

In the target hack, hvac contractors had their credentials stolen, and malware was installed on their pos system. The home depot hack was malware suspected to have been installed on their self checkout machines[1].

So no, they never allowed anyone access to the unencrypted credit card numbers. Negligence is failure to exercise reasonable care.[2] Bad things happen, and even more so when sophisticated criminals are attacking you. It is impossible to create a fully hack proof system. I would say allowing a sql injection is negligence, but when people are using sohpisticated attacks, there is nothing you can do.

I got to that point, then I read a LessWrong thing about subjective probability and none of it makes sense again. The basic problem is - what does "subjective probability" i.e. your personal anticipation of events, even mean in a world where every instance of you (experiencing all possible versions of events) is equally 'real'?

I used to take that approach, then I shattered a Galaxy S, then a Galaxy S4 (twice!), a Sony Xperia Z3, and an iPhone 6. I now accept the bulk and hope it will preserve the contents of my credit card better.
But that supports the "it's not what you know, it's who you know." idea. Most people I think see that saying as meaning that if you take somebody, like this girl for instance, and swap her out for somebody else who didn't accomplish anything like this, that the new person could more easily be similarly successfully to this girl.
> USB Type C is the standard for this stuff now

Exactly. I felt that Lenovo was being a bit premature and dropping the headphone jack but at least they're using a standard USB C connector.
"Any" is a strong claim. Alphabet has 60,000+ employees across dozens of divisions and subsidiaries, many of which came through acquisition. It's extremely unlikely that nobody, in any of these groups, is using a Dell server or one of EMC's fifty different models of storage arrays. (Or, to be somewhat ridiculous about it, using a Dell monitor or laptop.)

There is always a tipping point. We tend to use Bootstrap a lot at work for the reasons you mention, but you can pretty quickly get to the point where your CSS is complex enough that you would have been better off doing it from scratch. All frameworks are like that -- you trade off initial convenience for design constraints.

When I'm doing my own projects I always write my CSS by hand because it ends up less complex in the end. I don't need to see pretty things up front like my corporate customers do.
Regarding that testdata, what is the reason for rejecting bare IP literals on the right hand side? It seems pedantic to require the square braces.
Here is the wikipedia explanation of the term "post-industrial"

"In sociology, the post-industrial society is the stage of society's development when the service sector generates more wealth than the manufacturing sector of the economy"

That doesn't apply to Russia, so ivan_gammel was using the term in an unconventional manner.
> The most important TLDs are transnational, and their trust hierarchies back into corporations (corporations, I will cheerfully and without irony point out, who are subject to the whims of the FVEY IC).

Are they? I always thought that .com, .edu, .net et al. are American. I suppose one could argue that .eu is transnational, although the EU are trying very hard to invent their own postmodern nation.

> It's jingoistic, suggesting we should base trust decisions not on technology or even, really, on policy, but rather on nationalism.

It's not really jingoism, although it might be nationalism. And is it even nationalism, when each nation-state makes its corporate decisions in a manner which is acceptable to the members of said state?

> It consigns residents of countries with oppressive governments to total control by their governments

… which they already are under, so it doesn't make anything worse. And they are, of course, free to revolt, as oppressed peoples have done throughout history, sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing.

> By factionalizing Internet trust

You say factionalising, I say federating. It doesn't make any sense to me for a corporation in Canada to certify the identity of a site in Iran for a resident of Guinea-Bissau, which is the current situation. Federation seems to me to be the only solution capable of scaling to a world of billions.

> It greatly complicates the security stories of companies that have adopted vanity domain names in random countries

I think the unforced error was placing their identities in the hands of foreign states.

And, of course, with domain-level validation, their security is already in the hands of those states.
I read it at the time when domain name ownership conflicts were the hottest topic and we all thought that any business based on a dictionary-word dot com domain would have an unbeatable competitive advantage (oh, how wrong we were!).

The idea of early adopters sitting on coveted real estate close to the origin of The Street struck me as a perfect prediction of the domain name rush. In hindsight, we matched the "prediction" to the wrong part of the internet: coveted early adopter real estate is not found in the domain name system, it's in the allocation of IPv4 subnet blocks.

I think that this is more a natural observation about distributed systems that object orientation.

I honestly can't think of a reason you'd ask a user for their email but not need to validate it.

For being able to do password resets later, permission to add to mailing list, avoiding sending private info to the wrong user, avoiding allowing someone to masquerading or impersonate someone they're not.. All should be validated.

If you're looking for a username as login identity and nothing more (and you don't have password reset functionality), then ask for a 'username', not email addresses.
That's just broken, the DNS lookups are wrong, the SMTP implementation is defective, I didn't look any further.

He's presenting this to his company. I don't think this video was originally intended for mass consumption, but I am glad it was made available.

So this is the CEO presenting to a group of people who know him and his presentation style, I think at that point much of the stuff you're complaining about can be thought of as humor or house style, especially when you consider that Joel worked at Microsoft on Excel. Context matters.

It's strange that they don't include encoding time or SSIM metrics. I assume "other practical HEVC codec" is x265. Hopefully someone will do more in-depth benchmarks of this versus x264, x265, and VP9.

Optimizing memory consumption is nice, but I don't see the point-- HEVC video compression will saturate CPUs to the point that you wouldn't want to run other jobs concurrently, so who cares if the encoder uses 256MB or 1200MB? 1GB of RAM is very cheap!
Also, whether the VPS has an SSD or not is totally irrelevant— if you really were serving a single page it would be cached in the memory of your webserver.

(Or better yet, serve the thing off S3 and let Amazon be your CDN.)

There was an attempt to come up with a UCC for services, within the US, though it failed to garner sufficient support: UCITA.

It's not clear to me how some breadth of interests couldn't be addressed. The usual T&C generally address limits on liability of the site's owners, occasionally try to impose binding arbitration or limits on class action suits (among my complaints against the so-called "Kinder, gentler Reddit", Imzy), jurisdiction, reverse-engineering clauses, etc.

Allowing users to specify licenses for submitted works would address much of your concerns. A standard set of merchandise clauses, including, say, escrow, liability, and chargeback terms, might be among the boilerplate additions to a standard contract which might be made.

But the point is to make the contracts themselves standard and modular. There might be a base services contract, a base merchant contract, and a base rights-for-sale contract, but not infinite variations on each. Also limits on what sites or users might carve out as grantable or transferable rights.

My point in noting that ordinary commerce is limited to a single sale transaction is just that: that these are simple transactions and hence the associated legal binding is also simple. Ongoing relationships are inherently more complex.

There are alternatives to advertising and subscriptions, including non-market constructs.

In the example I posed, the value of the drivers license as a hire surity is that the hirer is quitely likely to return for it. The disadvantage, today, is that the license has not only the attributes of "valuable to the owner", but "hive of data which can be used to draw additional relations".

Some years ago I discovered that the purchase of certain over-the-counter medications required, by store policy though not by local law, presentation of a drivers license. I held up my license for the clerk to visually examine. He tried to take it from my hand, which I refused. He wouldn't close the sale without scanning the card. I walked off without paying and without product.

I've been insisting on respecting my privacy rights for some time, and am not above forgoing business, taking my business elsewhere, or making others pointedly uncomfortable for asking questions I won't answer. Sadly, I am an exception.

Interesting. Maybe a new type of mail box in the roof for houses (as you suggest), and some kind of Amazon Locker with a landing pad on top for the apartment complexes. Combining drones with a better mail box would allow the asynchronous delivery of packages.
Preformatted payload can be a big win for page speed, especially if your payload cannot vary based on request headers, or has only a few variants.

A special case of preformatted response used to be baked into microsoft IIS. If you connected to an address that could only redirect to another address, IIS wouldn't even wait for the request, it would just send the 302 response and hang up. This, it turns out, was not really compatible with Mozilla at the time, and may have violated some RFCs, but I kind of liked it as a hack.
So if I'm reading that page correctly, the basic gist of the claim is:

If we only do a half assed job of sanitising user input by attempting to blacklist whatever javascript we can think of, we'll still be open to XSS attacks from people smarter than us who put css into our user supplied data, so the answer is to prohibit inline CSS - not to properly sanitise user supplied data.

I think there are better pieces of security advice around than that...

> for any person to be able to read them

This should be exploited by challenging the mutuality of the agreement. Unless there is an understanding by both parties about the basic features and requirements - a "meeting of the minds" - then there isn't a contract.

Currently the "yes, I read that" buttons are used as an indication of having read and understood the contract, but as you said, actually reading all that legalese would take a long time. It may have been hard to prove otherwise in the past, but today we have another option.

We now have algorithms that estimate a given text's reading level. Using that kind of technique we can algorithmically estimate how long it should take for someone to read a document, from which a conservative estimate of the minimum reading time can be derived. It would be short enough that practically everybody exceeds the estimated time. This needs to be purely mechanical.

With a minimum reading time established, every contract should be nullified unless each party was given and used at least that much time to read the document. That is, allowing anybody to "sign" an EULA before $MINIMUM minutes have elapsed should be prima facie evidence that no contact exists.
>that would be a fairly impressive bit of poor planning.

Isn't the point that you shouldn't need to 'plan' this at all. That's just extra mental load that isn't necessary.

Facebook still uses Flux, and it was created specifically for large applications. The thing which is missing from this example is some kind of namespacing. In a large application, you should be naming your action types in such a way that it is not confusing which application feature they relate to, eg. if you had domain logic relating to something called 'UserProfile', you might have an action like `USER_PROFILES/UPDATE_PHOTO`. Combined with sensible project layout and file naming (eg. by domain) this should make it easy to track down code relating to a particular action. It also makes for excellent 'greppability'.

If you're using a JS typechecker like Flow (and IMO if you're building a large app, you should) you can even make use of disjoint unions to type your Flux action objects: https://flowtype.org/blog/2015/07/03/Disjoint-Unions.html
Ok, that lead to a further question I would like to ask you. To start, it seems to me that there are three main possibilities for Russia and renewable energy. One is that it will charge ahead at a rapid pace, the second is that it will move ahead but slowly, and the third is that it will halt new production and installations entirely.

From what I understand (which may be mistaken), the odds of the first are very low, like 1%, the third are maybe 20%, and so the most likely is the second.

You know a lot more about what is going on in Russia than I do, Ivan, so let me ask you, do you agree with my assessment, or is yours different, and if so, what are your reasons?

Pivotal is mostly owned by Dell/EMC (60%), followed by VMware (22.5%), and the balance by GE (10%), Ford (5%) and Microsoft (2.5%). The percentages are educated guesses based on the original 70/30 split EMC-VMware.

The reason I think is that a lot of the of the revenue producing assets came from EMC (Pivotal Labs and Greenplum), VMware had SpringSource & GemFire which were decent revenue, but Cloud Foundry made no money until 2014+ (and now accounts for a large chunk of revenue).

Fair enough, though it's not one that's likely to be encountered in the course of everyday events (though I listed several of those myself).

I found the GP observation that the 20th c. had presented numerous limits to be a rather interesting point, and one not typically dwelled upon. The limits specific to human activities, technologies, and interests especially strike me as significant.
