Well, it was certainly still a pain in the butt to clean up.
>Chinese cars are barely being imported in the U.S. (Three models so far). It has taken many years to get this far, and will take longer for them to have a similar reputation as, say, Korea.

Yes, but the US is a mere 5% of the global population and about 20% of global GDP (down from decades ago). You can be a huge player and not even play in the US market. The Chinese are already selling their cars in many global markets.

>Tesla has done well in the luxury car market, but they've been late and had quality issues. The Tesla 3 is not out yet and there is still a big risk they'll fail.

Tesla doesn't have Apple's half a trillion in the bank though. And which established car maker didn't have quality issues at various times (and still today)?

Is internet access really a basic right? I would argue no, but then again I grew up in a world without internet access for the most part so I consider it a nice-to-have rather than a necessity.
Sweden has hunted Assange for 6 years for the 'crime' of being promiscuous with the wrong women. Oh, and he did not use a condom, but the 'rape victim' still did not mind having dinner with him afterwards. Only later when those two women who thought they'd scored a celebrity found out he'd been rather generous in dealing out his celebrity amongst those who offered him hospitality did they come with a claim of rape. Should he have used a condom? Yes, if only to protect both himself as well as his partners from whatever they managed to share amongst them. Does this constitute rape? Given the fact that they'd had intercourse several times before during the same night I don't the claim would stick.

Meanwhile 5 rape suspects were released without even being indicted because the rape victim - a 33yo physically handicapped (wheelchair-bound) Swedish woman - did not 'resist enough' for the allegations of rape to stick, according to the prosecutor [1]. Might it be so that a physically handicapped woman has problems 'resisting enough' due to her handicap and the position in which she was placed - in the toilet, out of reach of her wheelchair?

So, Sweden, please define rape for us uninformed bystanders. If forcing a handicapped woman to have sexual intercourse with up to 6 men (5 of whom were arrested, the sixth was never taken) is NOT rape but having more sex with a willing partner who was fine with having sex before IS rape we do need some guidance to know what is right and what is wrong there. It would be good to know given that I live in Sweden, maybe I'm guilty of something I did not realise before?

I've been wondering if AMP isn't an play to actively decreased app installs. You can't include a Smart App Banner in an AMP page.
That's the whole point.
Yeah even for me priority is if someone from network has connections. Cold emails to get more reach on feedback where I could not find any shared connections :)
So your whole point is 'its okay to infringe on freedom of speech in the west because it happens in russia' ? Are you a retarded stalinist or what? Also pretending to have sources and then telling people to google it is just a hilarious way of showing people what a clown you are.
Laptops - macs are more "high end" (although sometimes that just means paying more for the same spec) then your typical best buy pc selection but the loaded gaming laptops with what I'd call a "high end spec" are almost 100% PCs.
That's well within the range of what a leader can do. Presidential pardon overrides the courts for one specific issue.

And they could preemptively refuse to allow him to be extradited for the leaks by stating definitively that it was not a crime by their laws.
Projects should reconsider the default decision of going open source. There's just too much burnout and abandonware.

No pun intended, but I wrote a blog post about this a couple weeks ago called Funding Open Source by Rethinking the Assumption at https://supportedsource.org/blog/funding-open-source-by-reth...

By rethinking the assumption (of a free price) we can keep a lot of the benefits of open source, but also have a model that just might solve the funding problem, by having end user companies pay. It's what I'm calling Supported Source.

If you run a project and are interested, get in touch.
It would be great if Google could set some minimum standards regarding average page load times (which they track, check Webmaster Tools) that you could meet and get the same quick loading icon in SERPs. My site loads very quickly, but I feel pressure to go AMP because of the icon and ranking increase.

Since when do developers have much say in which OS they use? These things are decided by corporate policy and management in most places.

The best you can hope for here is that you can do the bulk of your C# development on a "rogue" Linux machine or VM, and then do some final testing and bug-fixing on Windows, since it's going to be deployed on Windows with customers (internal or external) who use Windows.

Indeed. One might say it is almost flabbergasting!
How can you tell if a piece of information is independently verified if you don't know the source? If you're ignoring who presents the facts and who presents the verification, how do you determine whether or not the reporter of the verification is independent from the reporter of the fact? Sources matter.

And there is no such thing as a "probably true possible fact". There are facts and there are allegations.
Google also prioritizes AMP content over regular content in their news ticker/strip.

This makes a significant difference in traffic.
Strong AI on the horizon, about the same horizon as quantum computing and pervasive robotics; the new triad. Nuclear arsenals capable of destroying the world several times over. Biological weapons that can be created and deployed by organizations much, much smaller than traditional state actors. Social media educating us that systemic racism has been causing systemic killings of certain parts of our population. Whistle blowers educating us that privacy is all but dead. Trump is on the ballot. Yeah, there is reason to be afraid.
Occam would say that access problems are really very very common and are not the results of state actors.

Was it a "state actor" the last time your internet stopped working?
Presumably the bar is higher at a single track conference like the author's.

The whole voting system for instance. With telecommunication better systems became feasible, and systems that also guarantee proportional representation like MMP [1] were devised.

> the stressor of battling the insurance companies

This (and the related and similarly-inevitable-if-you-have-anything-worse-than-an-ingrown-nail battling hospitals and various other health care providers) is truly one of the worst parts of the US healthcare system, and one that doesn't get enough attention IMO.

For any significant interaction with that system you can expect 3 different things that are or appear to be bills for 20 different services, from 10 distinct organizations each with their own payment cycles and billing policies. Then another couple of documents from your insurance for each of those. Even with the money in the bank and the best of intentions it's easy to end up in collections for one or more of them just because it gets lost in the shuffle. And you have to watch like a hawk to make sure the providers aren't over or double billing you, and that insurance is paying what it should. Chances are high that one or the other, or both of those, will happen. Then they'll try to send it to collections while you're disputing it, so you have to watch for them pulling crap like that. It's insane.

On the other hand, "state actor" could certainly refer to Ecuador deciding to turn off Assange's access. WikiLeaks tends to be fairly economical with the truth about its own operations, so being purposefully ambiguous isn't anything new for them.

And, while Ecuador hasn't had to deal with meaningful diplomatic repercussions from sheltering Assange, the high-profile role WL is taking in the 2016 elections, and specifically the partisan and selective nature of their leaks, means that Ecuador is dealing with a very different qualitative situation than when WL was acting as an impartial if indiscriminate journalistic source.

In other words, Quito may very well be looking at the situation and deciding that being implicated in attempts to manipulate the US election is way more trouble than it's worth.

It's not possible within the limits of the Swedish constitution, as has been endlessly explained by now.

Presidential pardons are irrelevant as Sweden is not the USA, but in any case, the President cannot preemptively pardon people for future offenses for which they may or may not be convicted.

>And they could preemptively refuse to allow him to be extradited for the leaks by stating definitively that it was not a crime by their laws.

Who's "they"? Who is the person in Sweden who has the authority to override the courts and declare that someone isn't guilty of a crime in the absence of any proper legal process?
I think of it as a ladder that you progress through as a speaker. This reduces risk for the organizers, but it's also good for your growth as a speaker. If you think you can just hop right into a conference talk with no warmup, then the earlier steps should be a breeze.

- Short meetup talk (10-20 minutes).

- Long meetup talk (20-40 minutes)

- Conference talk.

The only gotcha is that most meetups are not recorded. That makes it difficult to apply for conferences outside of your hometown.
Does anyone know of a reliable source for comparison of the environmental, cost and health effects of different forms of energy? I've had a hard time finding a good source that isn't politically motivated and biased.

It's very difficult to evaluate e.g. wind turbines (poor output) and photovoltaics (exotic raw materials) against nuclear with the information I've found.
If you require power companies to get all this insurance, you no longer have any reason to regulate them (using the government), as there are no externalities (because the company bears the costs of a failure). This might be a good trade-off, as insurers are likely to be more judicious and less political with their inspections and requirements.
Imagine you run 3 different ruby (or whatever other language) and they all run on different versions of ruby. Containers allow you to easily isolate the whole stack including the individual version of ruby and install only the packages needed for that app to run in its own container. Of course it's still possible to do this without containers, my company handles it by building our own custom rpms for each ruby version and sticking them in /opt.

I think in your release model are forgetting about development and the staging areas that most devs can run or well use freely before ever going to production. Those are the places where the developers not only have access but are also encouraged to disrupt, destroy and let their creativity run before going to production.

Perhaps we were outliers, but @buu700 and I were accepted to BlackHat and DEF CON with no prior speaking experience outside from a dry run of the talk to a single meet-up.

One delivery -- and the talk as delivered in both conferences ended up being far different from that specific instance. Now if the article suggests that just doing it once is fine, cool, but if it's suggesting a track record of past smaller conferences, I'm inclined to disagree, as are the reviewers for the largest conferences.

It helps, but being bereft of it certainly doesn't disqualify you.

I agree to some extent that if problem itself is not noteworthy for them, it is good problem to solve for them? However in many cases people who are going to benefit directly are different from decision makers. So would it be better to talk to people who's life is going to get easier first and then ask them to redirect to decision maker?

> If Russia (as a country) wants to spread destabilizing propaganda that might weaken another nation, I don't think it's the "right" guaranteed by free speech.

Your definition of what might 'weaken another nation' is your own and doesn't represent the views of everyone in the country. Just because something might deflate your nationalistic commie-hating boner or whatever doesn't mean it should be banned.
The audience of these sites are generally liberal (aka green), interested in technology, and young (not adults in the Cold War era, where a lot of the fear of nuclear originated). It doesn't seem odd to me that there would be interest in nuclear.
>-The common argument of only keyboard, no mouse when using vim... I don't get. Is using a mouse such a major factor that slows you down or affects you negatively?

Yes, it hurts my wrist. If I use it continuously for too long it becomes disabling. I use awesome window manager, tmux, vim, vimium browser plugins so that I never have to touch the mouse.

Keyboards hurt my wrists too but it's much more manageable.

I havn't measured actual speed/efficiency, but once I got used to keyboard shortcuts for everything using the mouse feels slow, clunky and inaccurate.
> Submit to smaller, more focused or more local conferences. You can't expect to be accepted at huge popular conferences speaking in front of hundreds of people on your first try. Submitting to more focused conferences gives you a better chance of being accepted.

And also it lets you make a fool of yourself with a smaller audience.

Very few people are good at something the first time they try it. Why do you imagine you're a great presenter the first time out? As with anything else, make your mistakes in small domains.
You're right. TINA.
OP has a point though:

Macs have always historically been high-end and Apple's marketshare has historically hovered around 10%. Apple has come to dominate the high-end computer in recent years ― specifically the high-end laptop segment; at one point attaining 90% marketshare of laptops priced over $1,000 ― but that peak has receded and Apple never did penetrate the desktop market as much (which is another important segment foe high-end computers)

On the other hand, Apple's first mobile device (the iPod) was decidedly mass market and mass produced as Apple offered products for every price and segment ending up with over 70% marketshare for ALL mp3 players.

The iPhone is an interesting inflection point. Like the iPod it started out priced at the high end but Apple didn't quickly followup with cheaper products for all segments. Why not? The reason instead is that Apple went the mobile carrier subsidy route. The iPhone is mass market, mass produced and has ~50% marketshare in USA. However in markets where carrier subsidies aren't the norm e.g Europe, Apple has less than 20% marketshare.

Guess which other major technology purchase receives subsidies/payment plans? Cars. Apple could feasibly sell 'high-end' cars on mass market contracts and still retain their margins. However car manufacturing is very hard and Apple doesn't have any leverage from their existing products to force an advantage from the car parts factories...
Good question. I can only share my personal experience; I've seen 5, but only 2 seemed to understand my pain and gave me exercises tailored to my needs (using elastic bands, aqua exercises, stretching, etc.). The standard for back pain seems to be core strengthening. I found aquatic exercises most helpful (and least painful) for that.

The best ones I've seen were both athletes who succumbed to back injuries. But there must be good PTs who learned by the book too... I hope.
That confirms what I said in my comment.
Diffing trees sounds NP-complete. Or is there a polynomial solution of some kind?
It was definitely about having unpaid developers contribute code upstream too. That's a large part of The Cathedral and the Bazaar. That's open source in theory.

Open source in practice, however, means 99% of users never contribute back anything. These developers just end up being exploited (particularly by well funded companies) by working for free, building something valuable, fixing people's bugs, but not being paid for their time.

That's what I want to change with Supported Source, an alternative model to open source. Open source developers: don't give your code away for free any longer! If companies are willing to use your code, they should pay you (it can still be given for free to small companies or individuals) Check it out at https://supportedsource.org/
Web publisher here...the real problem is twofold:

- Display advertising makes the web suck; while display ads fund a large share of general market content sites, from a purely technical perspective they kill site performance.

- All major market participants suck equally, rendering no alternatives for end-users or advertisers to defect to; this inherently limits any incentive for real change.

AMP / Mobile index (new development from Google) breaks the gridlock: divert traffic to sites who deliver a good (fast) mobile experience and (assume site owners are economically rational - we are) is supported by something other than old school display advertising. Solving the 2nd part is left as an exercise to the student....

Interesting enough, you can make a banner ad load really fast. Just host images on your site and load it directly from your server without all the tracking scripts and separate calls from your advertising network (plus others). Or go completely native and render text links in html. Granted, this requires you to actually market your content and merchandise an offer (affiliate marketing).

Display advertising actually isn't the highest CPM option for a website; I did a study on small site auction data a while back and it was the lowest CPM model (admittedly, laziest to implement):

One rather successful man I e-know put it this way: business is the stuff you do to make money; investing is the stuff you do not to lose it.

He said that because often the part that sees the thing for what it is gets shorted when the average person sees it through the "investment" prism.
In my opinion there are two big reasons. Most open source software are building blocks, versus an end product, so it's seen as helping the ecosystem forward. Secondly, atoms are more costly than electrons to copy.
