That's fine as long as they're compatible with each other, isn't it? Different software, same social network.
Right, sorry. I should have read the Wikipedia article more carefully.
That's called pandering. Other than that, nothing has changed.
I've read that's in part because they were pushing the edge of the state of the art at the time they were designed, sports cars were used as an analogy.

Of course, it remains to be seen if SpaceX's scheme for engine reuse will pan out.
always wondered why an open source service hasn't risen up and become partly useful like twitter.

there was talk back in the app.net days with lots of wonder for what developers would do with an open twitter-like system, with open clients, open data etc.

imo it would be quite cool to have an open source content system like twitter that actually maintains a live service, where the git project auto-magic manages the production pipeline to live.

but imagine a fully open system providing tweet streams with little direct corporate involvement.

(who knows how to fund the bandwidth etc)
The first thing I do on any new computer I get is to swap the mapping for the caps lock and left ctrl keys. This makes ctrl+[ super easy (double pinky flick), and it also makes using the vim window commands (ctrl+w) easy to access, which I use a lot.
It's not coddling as much as professional courtesy. Mistakes are often brought up at conferences and in peer review, but most scientists within a specific research area try to be on good terms with one another and don't see value in publicly shaming colleagues for their mistakes.
Which is another way in which the Shuttle platform wasn't that much reusable. Falcon 9 and future SpaceX rockets are intended to be just refueled and relaunched, without having to disassemble the engines after every landing.
Yeah, when I read about this before, I think they were making it with a 3D laser sintering technique, which comes with some baggage. Mainly it's slow and with current technology I don't know if you'd be able to print a continuous sheet of it versus the cubes they showed in the video.

There are some very interesting surveys and studies that suggest otherwise. Undefined behaviour due to integer overflow seems to be very common.

I took a class with Susan Fiske in grad school, and the following is a quote from one of her comments on a homework where I had called into question a paper that was clearly not just statistically incorrectly done but was based on urban-legend-level assumptions:

"These results are from respected investigators, so it's inappropriate to question them."
It's useful for, amongst other things, making it harder to know if someone is the sole owner of their private GPG key.

Sounds like the website owner didn't setup up a page rule properly for it's RSS feeds in CloudFlare. If you flip a switch and don't customize it properly you will likely run into issues like this, but that's not Cloudfare, rather the webmaster for the site who you should be contacting.

It's happened to other companies in the past. It's entirely plausible that Samsung just screwed up in the design or manufacturing stage, and there is zero evidence of the conspiracies you suggest.
I stopped on the eleventh. I had been justifying the riders dieing in most situations because of their choice to get in this murder machine. Then I got the case of the little girl in a self driving car about to run over a little boy. Killing the girl does nothing but punish the parents for sending their child to a destination in a self driving car. Killing the boy does nothing but punish the parents for sending their child to a destination on foot.

This computer is so good it can figure out profession and intent, it needs to also give me a snapshot of these children's future so I can make a nuanced decision.

I do agree that people will think that way, but it's actually not scarier. Giving the government the power it has, implies the government can basically do what ever it want. It has secret courts, secret arrests, and secret police. That is way more horrifying than the very small risk of being shot - which the numbers don't even fully support that it's getting worse, unjustified, or even preventable. I recommend the Through the Wormhole episode: are we all bigots?).

That being said, I do think we whould always be wary of police and generally question the government. It's important we keep into perspective what's actually a threat and whats just unfortunate. Both should be improved, but one (the NSA) can prevent any sort of improvement, the police shooting rate seems to be more of an over reaction and mistake that almost everyone agrees should be fixed.

This is exactly why the W3 is developing a standard called ActivityPub, so that all of these platforms can communicate amongst each other.

Zuckerberg in Lagos Land
"Also please don't paint an entire city (let alone one with Atlanta's demographics) as full of "casual racism." C'mon."

It's the only major city I've been to where a white person dropping the word "nigger" (and used in a clearly negative way) not only happens in conversation, but it doesn't elicit gasps or any negative response. To be fair, it's also among the more diverse major cities, with tons of black-owned businesses, and that's awesome. So, it may be the clash of cultures (shitty old poor white southerners surrounded by successful black folks leading to resentment) rather than Atlanta being more racist. But, the south, in general, has such a long history of segregation, red-lining, private clubs that mysteriously have no black members, neighborhoods with no black residents, etc.

So, I'm probably being overly harsh based on surface level stuff. Opportunity is an important part of the power of racism, and Atlanta seems to have shown itself capable of providing opportunity to black folks; at least enough to lead to lots of black folks choosing to live there. Cities like Austin, Portland, San Francisco, etc. may actually be more harmful (or at least less welcoming) to people of color than Atlanta, without any overt signals of racism.
While not to justify their existence, those internment camps were not even in any stretch of the mind "like" the German death camps.

I'm not sure I fully understand this comment. What does it mean to have an "XMPP backend" but not as the interface? And yes, they did use a full, open source XMPP solution for Facebook chat when it started out called "ejabberd". Ejabberd is a terrific solution if you quickly want to have a scalable, real-time messaging and event solution with low maintenance.
How do you think it should be different?
This is great. Good work!

My entire family is currently using Path as a small social network and share a lot there. I'd love to move us to something we can control and where the data (esp. photos) aren't locked away in a proprietary system. Does this (or Gnu Social) support protected accounts, where permission must be given for people to see and follow accounts?
I was so excited when police body cameras became a thing. I figured that some kind of beureucratic oversight would stop most, if not all funny business-- BOY WAS I WRONG!! They 'accidentally' turn them off, don't bother wearing them or don't give the public access to the footage.

These cameras are completely worthless until they start working for the public and not abused by corrupt police depts. All cops need to have these and they need to be uploaded to a third, impartial party at the end of the day, every day, or abuse will be commonplace. I guess I did read somewhere that police complaints dropped 97 (??) percent since the use of body cameras, but where? Certainly not nation wide.
Haha! What if this is actually a marketing ploy for their web-app? Stir up some shit so everyone gets talking, and provide a service.

But in reality you'd constrain yourself to using Vim just because it is the lowest common denominator (i.e. it is available - vi - in Sun OS 5.2 & co).

Otherwise, if it's a really modern OS, there's a plethora of modern, fast, cross-platform editors that follow CUA conventions.
Damnit. No promises but would you consider putting it together if someone paid your company to do it under an academic grant or something? Quite a few academics trying to do things like you've done with small chance that one might go for that.
Lots of other companies, especially lots of other investor-driven telcos in the late 1990s and early 2000s, were guilty of the same and worse, and were never charged.

The proliferation of fake crimes like insider trading gives the state discretion to imprison anyone for basically political reasons. Any executive who owns financial instruments that refer to the firm that employs her can be found guilty of insider trading, if federal prosecutors wish.

Let me introduce you to the concept of defence in depth:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_in_depth_(computing)

Really, the longer a website is online, the more it attracts bots. Spam bots, brute-force login attempting bots, information gathering bots, vulnerability testing bots, and many more. This isn't even counting targeted attacks.

I've seen many small websites recieve much more bot traffic than user traffic. Sometimes to a crippling level.

My point is, it's not paranoia if they really are after you - even if it's a mindless mass of bots.

Like all security though, sometimes you affect legitimate users. This is why it's great to have multiple ways they can provide feedback.

Yes, you can call it scratchpad or sram. The point is that there is no hardware caching. The local SRAM is split into 4 separate banks so it is "effectively" 4 ported. DRAM controllers is up to the system designer. This is handled by the FPGA. (like previous epiphany chips).

That's why I called them a salesman. They sell things. Their interests are not simply your own.

It seems to be a theme here today... a company can't serve both advertisers and customers. In the end, one of them has to win, and given the monetary flows, it's not even remotely a contest which it will be. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12644507
Yeah, that's the key detail here.

The article went kinda off-topic on itself, by throwing in quotes about a completely unrelated incident, which on skimming may be read as referring to statcheck, despite having nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Yeah, this is an abusive marketing technique. If you don't want future embarrassment you'd better buy our service.
I agree that they are more structured, but I don't see any evidence that this is in any way due to how immediately people are attacked for wording things strongly.

Engineering is a life and death business more often than people think; it deserves people who feel strongly about it.

As an aside, I think the rules about trolling and personal attacks are pretty clear and easy to enforce. What I'm specifically concerned about is that those rules are evoked outside of the spirit in which they were created to attack emphasis in general. In fact, most of the discussion here is in clear violation of "Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them." but obviously we rightly care a lot about this topic and, since people are acting like adults, no one needs to tap on the poster so to speak.
I would love to have personal devices that collect my private data and apply AI for my personal benefit, but only then if all data stays inside the device under my exclusive supervision.

I imagine this is to compete in the talent war heating up for Aero/Astro engineers, with sexy companies like Space X and Blue Origin siphoning the best talent from places like Boeing.
> but I think it is unreasonable to try and link every single battery issue and explosion under the Samsung brand as something that is a precursor to another giant issue.

I disagree. Given that this phone model already had battery problems, it is not at all irrational to assume the new battery problems are related to (or the same as) the old ones. That's far likelier than the new problems happening by pure coincidence, given that the base rate of phones catching fire is so small. I think what you're forgetting here is that, by far the most likely scenario is that Samsung just didn't fix the original problem correctly.

Yes. How does Google make money of this service again?
Partially. Part of the XMPP protocol is establishing presence which I don't think is a requirement for Twitter (I wouldn't know, I don't use Twitter). Establishing presence for XMPP usually means a constantly connected client via TCP. The protocol would probably have to be tweaked so that clients don't necessarily have to remain connected to use the service. Might be possible to do this in XMPP but would require some work.
the inability to press left ctrl with the top right of your left hand palm is an unfortunate side effect of most laptop keyboards.

Well Samsung, that's what you get for using non-replaceable batteries.

I hope that this desaster forces either phone vendors or regulatory agencies to mandate replaceable batteries. The EU got through with mandating micro-USB, after all...
It's a reaction to being told countless times that the only way to "make it for reals" is to uproot your life and move to the SF area. Which is an incredibly common occurrence for those of us not in the valley.
I used vim for everyday use for almost ten years before I realized that navigating around with the keyboard would never be as good as clicking a mouse. All the mental overhead of trying to be efficient with vim, for me at least, ended up being a bit of a false oasis.

Agreed. I think this is an excellent idea.
"Supposedly, spider silk is incredibly strong. But if you can't scale that strength there is no point to it."

Actually there's a Japanese company that scaled it using all kinds of genetic engineering and biochemistry and supposedly North Face is shipping a jacket made of it in Japan for $1K "around now" although I can't find it on the website (only exists as press releases claiming it'll be released right about now).

Two days ago according to this press release Kraiglabs started commercial production in the USA under a variety of interesting licenses and patents.

http://www.kraiglabs.com/kraig-biocraft-laboratories-new-spi...

Spider silk is right on the cusp of wide availability. Very interesting material. Unless its discovered to cause cancer or something, you'll probably own some in a decade.

You can do weird and interesting things with low density materials. I can think of some interesting applications for a Zeppelin sized piece of aerogel with embedded bars of conductive metal foam carrying a (solar generated?) current to resistively heat it. A Zeppelin sized piece of aerogel would be kinda expensive, right now. But someday we could make an island sized platter and cover it with solar cells dumping heat into it during the day and make a halfway decent eternally flying island. In my infinite spare time.

The military industrial complex options are interesting. So there are some projectile weapons that ignore low density materials and go right thru (tank sabot round, etc) and others that crumble when they hit anything (some high velocity small caliber rounds, perhaps a HEAT tank round could be triggered by impact no matter how low the density). Meanwhile I'm sure its not very good for the aerogel but I wonder how much energy it dissipates blowing apart in a shock wave, that has some interesting shielding effects for soldiers. Here's a helmet liner that makes you concussion proof exactly once while it turns to dust. Or maybe not.
I have similar habits, but use zz to recenter the cursor (instead of z.), and gg (instead of 1G) to move to the top. Very quick.

Also, with relativenumber set, it's easy to move to the exact line without counting, or to see how many lines you need to yank, etc.

But sometimes I'm just idly moving through a file with j and k, and it feels perfectly natural to do so, the same way I unconsciously move the mouse cursor over text as I read it (outside of vim).
In the recent Charlotte police shooting incident, it was disappointing to see how unhelpful the body-camera video was. I'm not sure whether that was an anomaly, or whether it's just very difficult to get useful footage from a body camera.
