For validation of a business idea, my gut is to build a web app because it allows direct interaction with visitors and potential users and actual users. iOS app users are Apple's customers and no one else's and Apple protects it's ownership vigorously. Potential users must use Apple's store and companies must tailor their apps packaging to Apple's standard display. Of course a company can also build a website to show their product more fully...so why not start there?

There are a few cases where a business idea only works as a mobile app. I suspect many of those can be prototyped on the web in early stages to get quick feedback...something the App store does not provide.

Good luck.

Anyone has any idea which hosts desktop spotify app is trying to reach?

`netstat -punta | grep spotify` tells me they are on those IP:port :

* 151.101.120.246:80

Problem is, I don't know what hosts this is supposed to be, and `dig -x` is not very helpful...

I'm not sure about confidence. I have very minimal confidence in myself, but as a consequence I care very little about myself and much more about others. Seems to have a similar result though; people perceive me as confident (and regularly tell me so) and I laugh a bit about it on the inside. I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm not good at anything, but that seems to work :p.

I don't believe in myself, but I believe in others who believe in me and that seems to be okay lol.
Universities that are part of InCommon paid to get unlimited Comodo SSL certs. Their API was pretty terrible and we ended up finding quite a few issues.

Every time I hear about these Comodo breaches, I'm not surprised. Supposedly, Iran was able to get them to issue fake certs for some major sites:

If there's a bug in the theorem prover and it proves itself, it still has that bug.
JavaScript was originally a way to create interactive webpages, but because it broke or replicated MVC, became the backend too.

The variety of backend requirements, and the flexibility of UX, led people to solve many individual workflow bottlenecks or generalize to any/many.

Then so, like the English language, exploded to the simple-->jargon range of overloaded usage and niche comprehension, very quickly fragmenting, but universally powerful.

Developing a framework as a startup for a particular use case may take more time than prototyping on an existing framework--this is why the prototype should be discarded, and a critique of how open source/reusable code has always been a source of technical debt apart from the rare, shining outliers.
The actual amount of local devs that have active GitHub accounts and work samples and are smart is actually pretty tiny. Maybe not in the Bay Area, but even in NYC I haven't come across many.
> Chrome can send all history unencrypted to Google if you ask it to, under Privacy Checkup, Web & Web App Activity: "Include Chrome browsing history and activity from websites and apps that use Google services".

Starting today, that is on by default, and existing users get a screen asking them to enable it – I just got it pushed to my Android phone, asking me to enable that.

What makes it so good is the fact that it is so believable. I wished I could come up with a 'white mirror' alternative where all our tech is used for good but it wouldn't be nearly as believable. Human nature being what it is you'd hope the future isn't even darker than what black mirror shows, it easily could be.

The issue is the way it happens.

SafetyNet actually sends its results to a Google server, which validates that they’re properly signed, and then sends a message to the backend of the app.

The only way to successfully break it is by emulating or replacing SafetyNet on the device, but as part of it runs in TrustZone, that’s not easily possible.

You can go with a more industrial look, such as the Steelcase Gesture, but in reality most of what is done is just covered to look like there is less screws and such.

Respectfully, this is like 7 paragraphs of stuff we already know we don't disagree about, followed by the incoherent position that foreign spying is only acceptable when the citizenry of the foreign target agrees with it.

You can have an intellectually coherent position against foreign spying entirely. I'll point out the downsides of that position, but I won't tell you your argument is invalid.

But don't pretend. Either be against spying, own the potential downsides, and/or argue that those downsides don't matter, or accept that spying is coercive --- coercion is built into the concept, which is why we have the special word "spying".

BTW: Merkel authorized and the German NBD participated in SIGINT surveillance of Austria, is why I pulled that particular name out of my hat. Austria is interesting exactly because nobody would expect that particular spying target inside of Europe.

I for one welcome our new robotic overlords and agree that it isnuncomfortable to be reminded that my favorite sexual objects are in fact meant for other purposes as well.

I wonder if seeing breast feeding triggers a fundamental paradox in us humans. Seeing as how we're the only primates who have boobs even when not breast feeding. Originally boobs meant that this femal is not available for sex. In humans it means that she is very available BUT ALSO that she isn't.

This is confusing and this conflict causes discomfort.
I've used both Knockout and Vue for frontends that needed to render reasonably large amounts of disparate elements with near real-time updates, so I think I can answer this. Knockout is nice but feels closer to jQuery in that it requires a lot more discipline on the behalf of the developer to organise and maintain code. Things like ObservableArrays means dealing with another layer of abstraction; the wonderful thing with Vue is that it's just native JS objects all the way down. It also has a better structured child/parent component model with event flow, not to mention being much faster for rendering. I would also recommend Vue over Knockout.

Ex-Amazonian here. I worked on the EC2 API for just over a year, and this could simply be a legacy thing. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Amazon_Web_Service....

us-east-1 is the oldest region and predates Route 53. Not adding extra DNS providers to the older regions is probably an oversight.

(The EC2 API team requests load balancers from a separate load balancer team. The load balancer team probably didn't exist as a separate team when some of these regions were created.)

It's amazing how people act like they have the "right" to post some content anywhere.

Youtube, facebook, reddit, hacker news are all private organizations. They are not legally obligated to host your content (in some cases, like copyright infringement, they are legally obligated to NOT host your content).

The only thing that keeps these sites from arbitrarily censoring their users is money. If facebook deleted every article that zuckerberg disagreed with, people would eventually stop using facebook (there might be some speculation about how their "top stories" algorithm "filters" stuff out).

Less users means less ad revenue. But on the flip side, if samsung accounts for a noticeable chunk of ad revenue and that becomes at risk, less ad revenue means less ad revenue too. If blindly DMCA'ing videos yields a loss of 2% of users, but keeping the video up yields a loss of 5% of ad revenue (from samsung's share), then I imagine they will always prefer to side with samsung.

This isn't illegal, this is just one of the truths about capitalism. If a company exists to make money, it will side with money. if a company exists to provide a quality service, it will side with quality service. Quality service often doesn't have the marketing team though.

I mostly agree, types are nice but they should not clutter code like in C++ or C.

If the compiler can safely infer a type, it should do it, that's a no-brainer, modern compilers are very capable of doing just that. This is why I like languages like Rust or Go.

For FP to some extend, I imagine Rust would be nice since mutability is opt-in rather than opt-out.

Cyclic Graphs are always complicated, they're hard, some languages just do the hard part easier while others just gnaw their teeth out.

Also agreed on LISP, LISP is probably the only good language ever, it becomes what you need it to be, if you want it's purely functional and in the next line it's object oriented.

Modern Compilers will probably coerce languages into a superposition of types, tho there will still be two sides to it, some people will always prefer explicit (as in: type is forced and checked) typing and some will prefer implicit (as in: type is fluid) typing.

Depends on your use case for your phone - I usually copy 20-30 GB of videos to my iPhone 6S(using VLC) on a fairly frequent basis - for some reason it's my primary way of watching TV shows.

Actually, no, _some_ humans in certain places / cultures currently perceive and classify race.

The Roman empire spanned swathes of North Africa and had major centres there and traded with subsaharan Africa. And traded with the 'orient' all the way to China.

Their writings don't make racial classifications. They don't even remark much on skin colour or other features.

Visual features were known, but not considered that significant. And later in the empire people from all over the world became Romans via citizenship and what we now call "race" never factored into it.

I remember reading through the forum post for that letsencrypt bruhahaha when Comodo filed for trademark infringement on Letsencrypt.

The CEO seemed really self absorbed and saw himself as an innovator with letsencrypt stealing business processes from him (which makes filing for trademark infringement make less sense). He took it as a personal insult, and did not even appear to understand that letsencrypt was a public service rather than a for-profit product.

There was a fan who claimed to be a paralegal cheering on the CEO's rant yet appeared to confuse trademarks with patents with copyrights.

At least with the forums alone, that thread read like teenage high school soap opera, not a business. It was like an echo chamber of the CEO's fixation.

And now this. Sounds like there was a deliberate business decision to use faulty tech, and forgetting the wider social impact of operating a CA.
Well, the thing is that in JS community there are tons of rock starts who basically do simple stuff (which was done 100 times before them), but only after their presentations it goes crazy. People retweet them, use as a credible source, etc. Also, there are a lot of people who are very opinionated and just push it and by this become famous in JS land.

Yeah, that's true, that they invest a lot of personal time in this stuff, and they do a very good job in balancing, but the problem is that people trust them in important questions like performance even despite the fact many of them don't know CS basics properly (like data structures, etc).

I don't want to say all of them are this way, there are some well-educated people who definitely know a lot and deserve all of this. But as it was mentioned earlier, a lot of them are just 22 years old hip guys who released something what became mainstream/were involved in it and became ambassadors.

This is definitely not a new language...it's been around since 1995. The website does not make it particularly clear that this is a CFML engine though haha.
Recently I started a "paper evaluation" of paid, privacy protecting (to a good extent) email services. I found Fastmail to be quite expensive if one needs multiple accounts. Providers like Protonmail and Tutanota don't support IMAP or any other way to download mails (the web interface and apps are the only choices). That makes it very difficult (or impossible?) to move to another service and take one's older mails along. Protonmail does not support custom domains, whereas Tutanota does.

The cheapest solutions I like currently are posteo.de and mailbox.org. I have not started using either of them, but plan to move soon. Posteo does not support custom domains (it is heavily privacy focused and refrains from collecting or storing customer data as much as possible). So your only choice is to use one of many posteo.x domains for the email address. On the other hand, mailbox.org supports custom domains. Both support IMAP, web mail, migrating email from other providers, etc. Both these services and their websites are worth a look, IMO.
