This is one thing that's certainly an issue but another is that people's idea of what a hallucination is being shaped by movies and tv. So people end up having this idea of what hallucinations are that has nothing to do with reality and so naturally when they do have hallucinations, it makes far more sense to dismiss them as optical illusions, weird lightning, a noise coming from the neighbor and stuff like that.
I definitely understand the sentiment. In high school and university, I did my share of "informal penetration testing", and always loved it. But when I went to look for a job, I came to the "building vs breaking" crossroads, and went with building. Fast forward a few years, and I found a job building security tools. "Por que no los dos?"
I was under the impression allowing people to access the internet at large is explicitly part of Tor's design. If you want something more inward-facing, I2P seems to lean in that direction. I2P's comparison with Tor suggests this too:

Tor: "Designed and optimized for exit traffic, with a large number of exit nodes"

I2P: "Designed and optimized for hidden services, which are much faster than in Tor"

You are sadly witnessing one of the darkest consequences of 9/11.

It was such traumatic event for the entire society, due to its stark reminder that we weren't safe, and the modern world hadn't solved every problem, after decades of comfort.

There's a feedback cycle of increased fear, leading to unrealistic demands to fix it, leading to "solutions" that are immensely amplified by the media, and the politician's justifications of the solutions. That leads to increased fear...ad nauseum, to the point that you could credibly do a "Exisentially frightening" find and replace for every instance of "terrorism" and "Exisentially frightening (noun)" for terrorist. They're increasingly synonymous, and terrorist is the one losing definitive meaning.

I don't blame politics for this. We elect them by popular vote, and don't usually reward them for giving us a stern talking to, rather than addressing our exisential fears. But, they could have avoided the types of solutions they've trumpeted. Solutions that killed tens of thousands of Americans and foreigners, altered the way we live, and wasted trillions of dollars that should have been spent lifting ourselves up.

The terrorists won. They've done exactly what we know they wanted: create vast fear in the populace, and impose high economic costs, with relatively small acts committed by madmen.

Hopefully we start choosing more reasonable solutions, responsibly fund the ones we've found (the TSA caused multi-day delays in major cities this summer), and stop demanding the impossible from our politicians. Popular opinion about Middle East military action is tortured logic. You can't be mad about Iraq, Libya, and Syria. They express the full spectrum of action we can take — at least, as far as the general public perceives it. There's interesting distinctions, but few are well-informed enough to have that be informing their opinion.
So their plans for 2016 is to "open a spaceport" and for 2017 - "assemble a shuttle". Sounds like either a money laundering setup or a massively overhyped startup. Combine with the fact that they have Russian version of the site and it might be safe to assume that the guy had a run-in with unhappy "investors".

PS. The 24heures news article says that his car was stopped when he was driving through the forest, severly beaten, douzed in gasoline and set on fire. Now that is pretty damn close to how they settled fiscal disputes back in post-Perestroika times. I'm pretty damn sure he just took money from wrong people and didn't deliver what he promised.
Nextcloud is decent as well.
I have no problem believing it's millions. I know many people who got one, some deserved, some not. Last year my mom got one. She died in 2012.

> Human relationships simply don’t work, at any scale, from the most intimate to the most abstract. The nuclear family is a repressive disaster, but monogamy and polygamy each have thousands of tiny, fast anxieties scurrying under their surfaces. Socialism and capitalism each unleashed unprecedented horrors racing across the world’s surface. We don’t know how to deal with one another; all we can ever do is fail in different ways.

I'm not going to try and pick this apart or disagree with it.

I do find it deeply fascinating that there is such a pronounced divide (or spectrum) between people who prefer solitude and those who prefer companionship. When we here of someone old dying alone our first thought can be "Oh, that's so sad," but we might learn that the person was alone entirely by choice.

It takes all kinds. Or, I guess, 十人十色.
For folks looking for a Dropbox alternative, I recommend Syncthing [0].

Syncthing is a free software (MPL-2.0) cross-platform [1] and decentralized peer-to-peer file synchronization utility with end-to-end encryption, and with support for relaying [2].

Check out their getting started guide [3].

I finally came up with an analogy for Go to use whenever talking with someone on the fence of trying it:

"Golang is to dynamic web development what Laravel (and similar) are to Php".

My feelings are that if you're amazing at C++ or Java and you need to write a highly performant and scalable service you are probably best to stick with that. But if you're like most developers and not great at C++ or Java (and perhaps never will be) Golang is a superb middle ground that makes highly performant and scalable services more accessible to developers trying to tackle those problems for perhaps the first time.

I'd be interested to hear what the community thinks of the analogy.

> By the time there is a response the attack will already have happened, so surveillance will not prevent the attack. Crazy or mentally imbalanced individuls by definition do not care about legal consequences, they could attack you right in front of a cop, that's why they are crazy.

That proves too much. One can use the same justification to argue against police existing. Cops can't be everywhere at once, so they can't prevent attacks. They can only respond. And crazy people don't care about consequences, so why have police? The answer is that you want to minimize the number of crimes a person commits before being caught. Giving police better tools (in the form of recording what goes on in public spaces, subject to oversight) can help with that.

This is also borne-out by the number of private places with security cameras. These cameras don't stop people from committing crimes, but they do help police catch criminals. They're far more effective than eyewitness descriptions or composite sketches.

> So you are advocating monitoring everyone in all public places 24/7 the idea being anyone contemplating illegal action is aware of the surveillance and modifies their behavior.

No. I'm saying the current political climate is far too worried about police surveillance and not worried enough about violence perpetrated by civilians. It's like fearing shark attacks when the most common threat is drowning.

> Won't getting some body guards be a better option than attempting to inflict a surveillance state on everyone in your quest for absolute safety.

Please don't be absurd. Like most people, I can't afford bodyguards. And I'm not seeking absolute safety. I just don't want to be put in threatening situations on a monthly basis.

Edit: if you'd be willing to file a ticket here: https://www.dropbox.com/support/s/219/5481540/c/219 with "att. Of Luke" in the subject it'd really help us get to the bottom of this.
I think this sort of thinking involves a false equivalence between computer programs and the human body.

Going out on a limb I'd say that debugging is a skill that's learned in practice, not taught, so if it was as easy to "debug" the human body as it is to debug a computer program, why would computer programmers be better at debugging in their domain then doctors are in theirs? Surely doctors would have varying degrees of skill in this regard, but so do programmers, and it's likely that a) "good" doctors would count this "debugging" as one of their most important skills and b) that Robin Williams had really good doctors.

These factors seem to make diagnostic medicine quite challenging:

* It's often impossible to gather the information you need to make a certain diagnosis without an endless series of tests that may be prohibitively expensive or dangerous to the patient's health themselves.

* Feedback to attempts to "probe" the problem e.g. trying a course of a certain medication may be very difficult to interpret because of delayed reaction, individually unique responses, and/or other external factors that make it difficult to attribute some observed effect to cause X.

* The patient is not getting any younger this whole time, and may become impatient with the process and accept an imperfect solution or simply not have enough time due to the progress of their illness for all avenues to be explored.

* Patients may deliberately hide some of their symptoms, e.g. the article's author's theory that her husband was keeping hallucinations secret.
A couple things - the insulin currently on the market works too slowly for a pump right now to fully close the loop – this functionality – notifying the pump of exercise and eating is part of the user control needed in a "hybrid closed loop" such as this. The user's insulin sensitivity given before, during or after exercise are very different than at other times. Different types of exercise affects body differently as well –HIIT for example raises blood glucose for a couple hours during and after – and then will significantly increase the sensitivity to insulin and many type 1's will drop rapidly. Aerobic activity will tend to drop blood glucose rapidly on it's own. Notifying the pump allows you to drop the levels given – something users do on their own now.
Listening to these comments one would think Dropbox is the worse company in the universe and we have a thousand alternatives. But then time goes by and people are still using dropbox and nobody talks about the alternatives.

Another point is, you're using someone else's drive somewhere in the cloud and storing there (more or less) sensitive files and you're talking about privacy and security? Gimme a break.

Third and last, if you're that unhappy with a piece of software that's for the most part free, go ahead and pick something else. Nobody's forcing you. Same goes for Windows, Office, Gmail and whatnot.

What bugs me about them most right now is their new control panel design. The log out link is at the bottom left, so it gets pushed off the screen when you expand the menus.

I have sent at least 3 tickets to them over the course of about 4 months telling them that they need to move the log out link to the top of the page, somewhere in the copious amounts of empty space they have up there. They have responded every time saying they would look into it, pass it along, etc. But nothing's changed. I could fix it myself in 30 seconds by copying and pasting the code in the template.

And I can't help but wonder, if they are so incompetent as to not realize that, when the log out link gets pushed off the page, their design is broken, what else are they incompetent with? Security? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how broken it is--do their middle managers or higher-ups not recognize the problem? If not, what other problems do they not recognize? And if my messages to them are not getting through to those who could fix them, that's a problem in their support system.

So I would keep an eye on them. I hope they are not beginning to decline.

Have they solved their discoverability issues? I haven't used it in a looong time but too often it would fail to sync two computers in the same LAN unless the daemon was restarted several times until they saw each other.

Could I rely on this just like I would rely on Dropbox to instantly get my files synced or do I still need a centralized option for that?
I didn't mean to be pompous. My native tongue is German and I didn't know a better word than Zeitgeist for what I wanted to say.

I feel that language in general is being used in a different way today than even just a few years ago. Admittedly, I don't have objective measures for this but I know I am not alone in this assessment. Even the Economist recently ran a feature about this lamentable phenomenon.
Writers can be so critical of themselves, especially good ones, I think. Barnes' solution of writing the critique he fears is pretty good. They're only novels, after all, but when you write one, it seems so damned important.

> However, I know that Dropbox is one of the biggest Go users and it isn't in this success stories list. Anyone knows more about it?

Maybe the go devs see them as traitors for using rust for their core components. :P They were having memory consumption issues with go, so I'm not sure that would be the best thing to add to a list of success stories.

Hi Ben from Dropbox. You seem to completely miss the point. It's not about the feature itself, it's your way of "hacking" or "injecting" Dropbox features into places the user didn't expect.

This is not the first time that Dropbox ignores the system guidelines (or even permissions if the user explicitly disallowed Dropbox access to Accessibility features). Why are you ignoring the feedback concerning Dropbox' way of "hacking" itself into system areas like Finder?
I think it's always problematic to compare to images upscaled via nearest-neighbor. The big pixels are hard to parse for our brain, we detect all the blocky edges.

A good content unaware upscaling would be nice (one of the default photoshop algos)

I also wonder what they used for the downscaling. I see 4x4 pixel blocks, but also some with 3px or 7px lengths.

This looks pixely and is supposed to be a source file?: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tetrachrome/subpixel/d2e28...

I feel like it should be easier than images, since we have all the 3D information. There are all of the features based on 3D structure which image segmenters can't even begin to use.

It's one of those things that we can do efficiently, so with enough priors of what scenes look like a sufficiently informed ML system should be able to get decent accuracy.
I have relay disabled so I can only comment on the LAN experience. Been using Syncthing for about 6 months on Mac, Windows and Linux with great success and no discovery issue.
How many studies have been done verifying that enterprise SSDs perform significantly better than consumer SSDs in any metrics?

My belief is that the consumer SSDs actually have very similar performance and reliability requirements to the enterprise because they are generally deployed without redundancy, and so any failures can be catastrophic for consumers. And then there are lots of consumers that will go on Amazon or Newegg etc. and leave very bad reviews.

So I personally believe the 'enterprise' distinction is mostly a scam, and developers who are looking for inexpensive hosting have been mainly waiting for A) datacenter providers to realize that or B) a slow market perfusion that mitigates it.

If I were to open up a mine and dump several tons of gold on the market, your 1:1 bitcoin value disappears entirely. I think you should check out why we moved away from a gold standard in the first place - it was too subject to supply pressures.
> However, I know that Dropbox is one of the biggest Go users and it isn't in this success stories list. Anyone knows more about it?

they still use go for a lot of things, rust for a niche, which is why i made the other comment in this thread: we need to see more rust success stories (and nim, and elixir, and julia, and R, et cetera) because we need to be able to evaluate the best tool for a particular task. at this point everybody worth their salt in programming is a polyglot.

This was actually the question I had when I decided to try Syncthing again a few months ago.

I've been using it for a while now, and though I feel there's room for improvement, it's definitely much more reliable than it used to be before and I haven't had to restart the daemon multiple times.

As for your second question about instant syncing, there's syncthing-inotify [0] which detects file changes immediately (instead of 60 second rescan interval), but I haven't tried it yet.

For syncing outside your local network, Syncthing supports relaying, which I linked in my previous comment.
