>You can dispute whether he did or not, or come up with other books on brain development that say otherwise, but your framing of what he said is in bad faith.

I quoted exactly what was said, which mentions what kind of book was read... so I don't find the "framing" in "bad faith" as you put it, at all.

Don't you have anything to say about the substance of the article, or original post?
Thank you for your advice but I would like to have feedback, more than promoting here.

Seattle has set up more than one tiny house village [1], at least that I know of. Some of them even have internet access.

We still have a very real homeless problem though, and you'll see panhandlers if you drive through the city. People have even set up camps along I-5.

+1 for bringing up mesh networks. I have been reading about mesh network projects in Germany and other places. What I think is needed to increase adoption is something like the raspberry Pi, a cheap and open mesh router that would allow setting up community networks, with hooks for volunteers to provide low bandwidth gateways to the web, tools for sharing locally hosted copies of Wikipedia, projects for local social media, market places for local commerce, etc.

When there is a low cost system available, then I can visualize myself starting a class at the local library, etc.

In an increasingly centralized world (central banks, the awful one worked government philosophies, winner take all hubs on the web, etc.) it is too easy to lose track of the fact that local issues, economy, and life are more important than global issues.

Interesting development. Apart from the original IRC specification published in 1993 and revised in 2000 (supposedly the namesake of "IRC v3") there has been quite little real standardisation work in IRC protocol, with various clients, servers and platforms each implementing their custom extensions.
IRC (current version) works fine for me. The trick is to front it with ZNC or similar software.

Anyway, why isn't this being done through the IETF?
Living billboard arrives to announce, drumroll please :

sandstorm.io

The auto updating server that you can self-host or use as a hosted service, allowing you to install and uninstall lots of applications, both free and proprietary, just by clicking the button.

(No, not paid to tell this unless you count the stickers I got. And no, not perfect but still a refreshing change.)

What is a "customer success manager" in the first place?

Nowadays, every time I subscribe to a new SaaS service I get some emails from their "customer success manager".

Not sure what they are supposed to be. It looks like "customer support" but sometimes I get email from support AND from customer success managers. Go figure.
Seems to be a dead project. Several open issues and one pull request but no commits for years.
so you take %s and replace it with .*? (Checking... Yep, basically this, but with a super ugly regex)

Have you looked into Sandstorm? Their whole goal is to make installing server apps as easy as in mobile platforms, while securing them from the outside and each other, and allowing the user to switch providers bringing their apps and data along.

It's really quite awesome: https://sandstorm.io/
Great landing page! I love the screenshots with example conversations - it makes it crystal clear what to expect from the product.
The original Minecraft versions had reasonable performance for a one-man app that was more about experimentation, because Notch wrote his code in a way that didn't put too much pressure on the GC. For instance block coordinates were passed as individual x,y,z arguments to each function.

When Notch passed on maintainership of the code, he apparently didn't pass on his knowledge of how far you can push the JVM, and the new developers proceeded to "modernise" the code, by, for example, introducing a Point class. The amount of garbage Minecraft made went up very quickly as a result and it got slower.

There were a bunch of other glaring problems ... the fact that Optifine is able to improve it so much shows, I think, that the developers didn't fully understand Java performance.
Interesting aside: I just installed/ran Minetest and then compared it to Minecraft and Minecraft feels/looks a lot smoother on my basic HP laptop.
The example of GitHub they use is actually telling. Git is decentralized, so why use GitHub? The answer may be surprising:

It's because social has not been decentralized.

Yes, status.net existed for a while but it was just about publishing short updates. Also, a few years ago several guys from my college raised money to make Diaspora. That didn't fulfill the promise of a decentralized social web either.

Bitcoin is decentralized money. Email is decentralized communication. The Web is decentralized publishing. But what about decentralized social?

Ideally, it should start with the Web and enhance it. It should:

+ Work on every device out of the box, and take advantage of the special characteristics of each device (eg mobile phones are private to the user, and work as endpoints for text message invitations with auto-confirming links https://qbix.com/platform/features/invitations )

+ Be as easy to install as WordPress by organizations, who can choose the hosting provider to grow their community, and be able to move it anytime

+ Seamlessly support user identity AND contact lists across domains. Be able to sync with personal address books, social network friend lists, etc.(https://qbix.com/platform/features)

+ Seamlessly support a standardized access control model, ideally where roles correspond to contact groups or friend lists. (https://qbix.com/platform/features/contacts)

+ Be modular, so developers working for organizations can easily use components, developed and maintained by different developers, in the organization's social apps.

+ Allow people to subscribe to certain streams of information. Take care of real time updates via WebSockets for online users while delivering offline notifications for people who subscribed, via text, email or native notifications. (https://qbix.com/platform/features/streams)

+ If done correctly, such a system would decentralize search engines and social networking sites, allowing local communities to get massive value from being networked without having to send all their signals to California and back, or connect to Facebook's "web for India" or "web for Africa" just to organnize meetings or talk to someone next door. (https://qbix.com/platform/features/distributed)

That is what we built. And we are slowly rolling it out. And it's free and open source. You can downoad it right now and play with it:

I think my comment rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and for that I apologize. Actually, I agree with almost everything the replies argue. My point -- which I did didn't make well -- was that I think using the word "disabled" in the WHO sense is either disingenuous or silly. Silly, because if everyone is disabled at all times, then the word becomes meaningless. Disingenuous in the sense that "not having a range of ability" implicitly really means having an unusually or unexpectedly limited or different (but not strictly larger) range of abilities as compared to some poorly-defined range for a "typical" human, without actually admitting that we are comparing against some standard.

Yes, the standard is vague and poorly defined. And I agree that disability doesn't need to be permanent or easily visible or significant, that it is context dependent, and it obviously isn't binary. I have no qualms with the idea that everyone or nearly everyone is, at some point and in some ways, disabled. And perhaps most importantly, we should disentangle the concept of disability with moral/value judgments.

Still, I think all of the examples I've seen on this thread are implicitly comparing against a standard but explicitly pretending they are not. You mention that you are disabled from reading your screen. Because many humans would have that ability. You didn't say you were disabled because you don't have the x-ray vision needed to see through walls. Just like nobody would say a person is disabled because their body doesn't produce enough fur or whale blubber to survive a new england winter.
Well, I don't think Linux would be my target market.

I feel like Linux users are tech savvy enough to use open source scripts like Gmvault etc.

I must think about Windows however.
DAMN! i could / WILL use this ASAP.
It's free for personal use and very inexpensive for commercial use. Comments like yours baffle me. I don't understand how either hobbyists or professionals are hurt by the current pricing. There is no lock-in or anything like that, you still have the option to go back to the command line interface. No harm done.
I never regret the three days I spent a decade ago playing regex golf.
No worries. I never repeat repeat myself.
Would you choose nothing? If not nothing, why wouldn't you choose the option with a slightly higher chance of success and fewer side effects?
Very cool. Just curious, what was your marketing plan? How much time did you spend on marketing?
Matrix.org is also focused in the same domain (and could be considered more mature in some respects :) (disclaimer: i work on it.)
It's impossible to limit access to any part of the instance metadata in any way w/o firewalling (which has its own issues) or even to expire access to any part of it. Since instance profiles have keys (even though automatically rotated), any process on the system, owned by any user, can access anything exposed via the instance role. This makes embedding IAM keys into your instance and protecting it by root-only or ACL's MUCH MUCH safer... but AWS specifically states that instance profiles are preferred. In fact, for our Userify AWS instances (ssh key management), we are required to use instance roles and not allowed to offer the option. (This is why we do not offer S3 bucket storage on our AWS instances but we do on Pro and Enterprise self-hosted.)

The biggest issue with the IAM instance profiles is that they trade security for convenience.. and it's not a good trade.
> They all have too many calories.

Agreed.

Eating too much, and consuming sugar, are real problems. I like to bring up starch because so many people underestimate how many calories are in starchy foods.

That said, I overstated my point.
As I point out in my text, I think it does fine for physical products.

But the digital products we are making now aim for the psychological needs we have and they are having adverse effects. In that sense I think the "engine of innovation" is broken. We're not making useful products anymore.
May be yes, may be no. It really depends from who owns agenda of decentralizing the web.
Somewhat disappointing. It's just a long ad for nested.
Well, that isn't really fair: there are lots of people out there that would appreciate this layer of abstraction over a general approach... I wouldn't hire them to be software engineers or data sci, but they exist.
Machine Learning and Data Science: The ultimate reading list
This isn't true. Throwing an exception is a perfectly valid operation. Of course, it is not the operation you want, but that's a-whole-nother matter.
Hooray for centralised, proprietary tools controlled by a single corporation! /s

Seriously though, I think this is exactly what is needed for IRC: a facelift. IRC is hugely superior to centralised tools like Slack for obvious reasons. But if people are moving to Slack it's not enough to say they should not do that, but try to actually offer a competitive user experience.
It may be worth noting that the OP referred solely to newspapers, and Fox is a TV channel. Noting that the parent did say "papers and media outlets", which is definitely less true, because of Fox.

Note that Fox is likely so popular because of how few strongly conservative-biased media options there are.
> It turns out that a few key molecules act to open and shut periods in brain development. One is called histone deacetylase, or HDAC; it makes DNA coil up tightly and stops the synthesis of proteins that promote plasticity — thereby closing off the learning period.

I presume this blocks only a few genes, so the coiling up is local (?) I can't imagine this blocking all genes.

It also uses the new format syntax rather than the old printf-style syntax.
Why is 'building tools that makes it easier for non-technical people to build apps' such a serious trap?

Products like Tableau, R+R Studio, Ruby on Rails and even Excel have been highly successful because they lower the technical barrier needed for to perform computational tasks within a domain.

This isn't a criticism. Interested to hear your thoughts.
In UNIX, the same way that EBS volumes are mounted... think of the /proc or /sys virtual filesystems.

In Windows, I'm guessing that this would be exposed as a network drive.
Ad supported business is a side effect of business / marketing guys taking existing business model to a new medium. There's nothing wrong with it, it's the dumbest model ever to generate revenue. That's not the current web's or law system's fault that people can't come up with a better alternative and bigger newspapers are so clueless how to make money by other means.

I think the real issue is that 99.9% of internet users are not tech savvy and don't really care how the content pops up on their screen. The internet and content is now an utility, like tap water. It's a hard sell to tell everybody to drill their own wells.
Snort is now owned by Cisco (the company is formerly known as Sourcefire). It makes money via hardware integrated with snort. I think a single 3U box pushes 60Gbps. Though that number is highly dependent on the tuning for stream5 and other preprocessors. You don't need to reconstruct the entire stream, just enough to know what the connection is doing. Normally it's only a few packets per stream.

Stream fragmentation has its own entire configuration in snort as it is a known attack method to bypass detection.

Last I remember that top end box was 2x 12 or 16 core Xeon CPUs with 256GB ram.
I think it's useful to ask what the point of this definition is.

If you expect to be pressured into making special considerations for disabled people you will fight to keep the scope of the definition as small as possible, whereas if your goal is to force people to make these changes then you will argue for it to be very broad. If your goal is to prevent people with disabilities from being seen as different then you will try and convince people that the definition should be broad and consider ourselves situationaly disabled.

E.g. If you're not allowed to discriminate against people with disabilities; whether obese people are disabled or not makes a big difference to, say, airlines, who require them to buy two seats. Or if tall people are disabled, then not upgrading them to business class for free could be considered discrimination.
I apologize. I didn't mean to suggest we should design for a "typical human" (even if such a thing existed or could be well defined), and I agree that we should design for a range of user abilities. I was trying (poorly) to discuss their definition "disabled", which seems unhelpful as it seems to be synonymous with "human".
So is reading a file on the filesystem.. easier, actually in most languages, since HTTP requests usually require loading an extra library.

How often did you train? E.g., was it once a week? Or did you immerse yourself into the language and culture full-time?
After reading the ad and visiting the website I still have zero idea what nested does or why it would be useful.

Get rid of the jargon.
The time spent making it better isn't free.
The point is not requests that originate elsewhere. The point is that this system is not protected in any way from any other process on your system.
Eugh. You could at least choose an open standard like Matrix. http://matrix.org/
It doesn't work on firefox. Check your ssl score https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=standupjack.c...
Why isn't encryption baked in by default? It's optional from what I can tell. I don't know how you can design a new protocol and not include encryption.
Of course, and I propose this cautiously, because you have to be careful who we're talking about, you could support/encourage startups which ARE profit-motivated businesses to use models which develop open, decentralized software.

GitLab and Sandstorm.io are both examples of startups, which make open sourcing their core 'product' a part of the plan.
To most people (99% ?) Facebook, Instagram, Google etc offer everything they want. So they do not feel a need for getting the 'power back'.

It all comes down to perceived (!) value. Once people use one thing, they will only switch if something else offers a clear higher value. At that point offering the same value is not enough anymore. This higher value has to be something that makes every day life in a very obvious way a little better. I am afraid something abstract like 'more power' will not do the trick.
It depends on how well studied the treatment is. If it's been on the market for 70 years, I'd take the chance. Otherwise, why risk waking up one morning with a tail, or having my arm fall off ;)
In a way, that's what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniKanren is -- a backtracking logic mini-language that you embed in another language.
Debian has 0.4.14 available in jessie-backports[1].

That's a great idea.

Maybe also backport some features of Slack, like edition of messages (with a flag marking it as edited), or a common way to have plugins/extensions, or tagging links as images.
Sandstorm is awesome. Of course, it would help if ISP's weren't so keen to make sure nobody actually uses the internet to make computers talk to each other, instead of just having Amazon, FB, and Google's computers talk at you.
This is something more people need to see since it's obvious most people, at least that I have met at university, don't get.

They ask me how I got good at this and I just tell them that I kept programming. They don't understand that concept, I get a strange look back every time.
Retail solar power is not viable currently. Cheapest reputable panel on aliexpress is about $1.2K for 1KW. Lead-acid on Amazon is about $500 per 1KWH (not counting shipping). Assuming backup of 30KWH it would require about $16.2K without inverters, cables, installation or shipping. And with these it can be 20-30K+.

So it is not surprising that retail solar is not viable without subsidies. Which are in essence wealth transfer from the poor to richer early adopters. On top of that it is a headache for grid operators who have to account for unpredictable inputs from retail solar power users.

Instead of the overly expensive retail solar power it would be better if subsidies went to the far cheaper solar powered ACs, solar panel water heaters, urban and outdoor lightning.
Exactly what I wanted to say. Why even bother if encryption is not included by default in the new protocol?
That also explains to libertarians why people like "The State". They don't necessarily feel they need to decentralize everything. But the real reason is, it just hasn't become convenient yet. One day, each community will run its own open-source software that will manage local taxes and services without having to wait for Big Government to do it.
Ask HN: How does your engineering organization decide what tools to support?
We are a medium sized company with around ~2k engineers and have a developer tools group that supports code review products, issue tracker, CI machinery, deployments, etc.

Some tools can be fairly opinionated amongst engineers and have different tradeoffs. For instance, among issue tracking there is JIRA, Asana, Pivotal Tracker, etc.

How does your company select their supported engineering tools? Is this done amongst a select group of engineering leads? Organizational surveys, etc?

It would also help to know the size of your engineering organization to know what model scales.
Did I mention that dwaxe turned me into a newt?

This seems like a good idea. Surely you can't be sued for user generated content which uses licensed team/player names.

I had previously mulled over trying to make a fantasy sports site using bitcoin, but since I am based in the US, the gambling laws are too prohibitive, even just using bitcoin.
> The IRCv3 Working Group is a collection of IRC client and server software authors working to enhance, maintain and standardize the IRC protocol using backwards-compatible extensions.

It's not a new protocol.
One of the features I think RTD missing is DocsApp support upload swagger.yml file and auto generate API browser (https://demo.docsapp.io/docs/swagger-api) as well as API Tester (soon).

Another one is DocsApp is using markdown editor instead of pulling docs from SCM (git). Which good for users that do not know to use git.

DocsApp also support generate Github release page (https://demo.docsapp.io/docs/github-release) so users able to download artifacts without leaving DocsApp.

PS: I never use RTD so I might wrong.
>, but the start date was February of 1860, when The Atlantic accepted its first print ad

Can you explain the criteria for "advertising" such that 1860 is marked as the significant date? There were paid ads in newspapers/pamphlets in the 1600s:

https://www.brent.gov.uk/media/387509/Newspaper_advertising_...

That said, I think it's reasonable to set boundary date of when newspapers switched the majority of their sustainable revenue from subscriptions to ads. However, I'm not sure The Atlantic in 1860 is an example of that.
