> An app for each Credit Card I hold

If a bank/credit union/etc doesn't have a native app in 2016, I doubt they have a web app that's usable on a phone either.

> A native app for each news site I read

Right, because RSS readers and aggregators aren't totally a thing.

> A native app for every social media site

Those literally exist today.

> A native app for all the map searches, directions, etc. we all use

You realise you don't need a new app for each search you want to do? I don't even understand this premise.

> Security updates? Nightmare

Right, because having half-baked web-apps with millions of user's personal data all stuck in a big fat juicy database in one spot, just waiting to be breached and spread like herpes in a brothel has worked out so fucking well.

Every major mobile platform and the two leading commercial desktop platforms have app store infrastructure which provide automatic updates of client-installed apps.

> Multi-OS support? forget about it.

Right, because no app ever has been developed cross platform, and every web app ever created works perfectly in every browser with zero effort from the developer.

> We'd all be back to a Windows monopoly.

Wat.

Edit: additionally, a number of the things you describe, i.e. news sites, aren't web-apps in the way most people think. They offer very limited if any interaction or functionality for the user except navigating to find/read other news content, and possibly leave feedback. Those sorts of things are what the web excels at, because they're essentially used for one-way content viewing.

So I've been thinking about creating a basic site running on IPFS and here's my dillema. The hash of each page is a sha256 of the contents right? So lets say you have 3 pages A, B and C, A links to B, B links to C, C links to A. How do you create all 3 pages with correct links to each other?

When you create page A you have to have the SHA of page B, but then to create page B you have to have the SHA of page C and finally to create it you need the SHA of page A. You get into this cyclical loop where you can't generate any page and link to others. What is the solution to this problem?
Any bureaucratic system will assume the features of its creator - for North America that would mean collusion between the public and private sectors.

I think this problem is orthogonal to actual P2P protocols. It is rare that such protection is deeply integrated into the protocol itself, the most popular one is probably a GNUnet with its economic system. On the other hand, solution from Tor with its directory services and FreeNet with F2F mode can be adopted by any P2P network.

The group of people you're working with may not be as mutable as you think. I've been working in my programming language community in the city where I live for about ten years. There are people I have worked with before at pretty much all the really attractive places that do the language I have the most expertise with. Probably people who know people I've worked with at many of the others too.

The solution does not have to be technical. If you want to restore control to as wide a group as possible, start by running a centralised service with a membership structure. Not everybody is clever enough to run their own stuff, but almost everyone can use a website or an app. Allowing them a role in governance rather than operations is the key factor. I wish more people thought so.
I spend a lot of time going through Overwatch cases. Simply put, unless the case is obvious, you really cannot say anything other than innocent.

Also, games where a team has a "full stack" or a lobby of 5 friends all communicating, a player could easily look like they're wallhacking when actually their team just has great communication. But, this information is not conveyed to the reviewer.

But one thing that Overwatch does have is the ability to convict someone of griefing. I have fallen foul of these once and faced a 6 week ban from the game. Overwatch does work but the person must be very blatant with their cheats/griefing.

Personally, I think the single most effective action Valve took against cheaters was the introduction of "Prime accounts". Players who link their mobile number to their account can choose to only queue into games with other players that have done the same.

This almost creates a "low priority" queue. If you find yourself part of this, it's generally accepted that you may be against hackers and griefers.

Cute speculation, but I can't see how it could be tested.
According to a well-researched article [1], in 2010 Catholic Chartities USA spent about 85% of it's $170 billion budget on health care and colleges.

Based on what I've seen in poorer countries, my personal take is they do provide high quality education and care without much overhead. The evangelising is mostly implicit and doesn't take many resources. More than anything, it provides a soft filter for who gets those services.

The consumer takes on some of the cost. But the only reason you are so for this legislation is because you don't understand the full-scale logistics involved in mandating such a feat as well implementing them as a tech company. If you want to mandate security to include well-established, cost-appropriate solutions, that's cool, but requiring future updates to these IoT devices is not the correct solution. It brings into question free speech issues for one, requiring companies to support the life of products they no longer wish to support. And the only companies who will not feel the full brunt of this would be the elite.
I also live in France and I couldn't agree more. There's an implicit (and often explicit) hatred (on the left) of those that are more financially successful. There is also a social distrust of entrepreneurship and any activities that are higher risk, higher reward.

Apologies, but I'm still a bit confused

The way I understood your comment, is that saying something untruthful or presenting something in a way that the truthiness is difficult to determine is inherently unethical, unless it is very explicitly for a good cause.

I personally enjoy ambiguity in my interactions with other people, online or offline. I'm not personally sure how misrepresenting yourself for no evil purpose can be considered inherently bad.

You have a thought that I want to understand, but i'm just not sure how to read/interpret it to make sense. Perhaps your understanding/definition of "trolling" is so different than mine that it is incomprehensible to me.
I think another aspect might play a role: when you're well-off, but not obscenely rich, you're probably risk-averse. You don't want to end up in the lower-class, dependent on other peoples' charity, so you're holding your money together.

When you're already within reach of that you're more likely top end up there, but the difference isn't as stark.
While you're 100% right, the key word to me here is "hierarchical organization" - and I remember my history teacher, the best I've ever had. She was demanding, on fire all the time - and most of other students and teachers hated her, but she was just extremely passionate and uncompromising, teaching from first principles (I've never learned as much from a teacher while in school). This tends to set mediocre people off, and she got really bitter in the end. All the skills OP is showing make him a bad fit for large places full of B and C people (i.e. all of academia and corporations) - while his healthy self-esteem, passion, a learning and teaching spirit, great writing, aspiration and the drive for simplicity and good UX (like in his courses) make him a perfect fit as a founder or early startup employee. He should be prepared to fight an uphill battle if he tries to stay in academia full time. If I were him, I'd try to do an industry career first before returning to teaching, I'm going down that route as well. Even my all-time hero of academia Feynman helped build the atomic bomb before returning to teaching first semesters.

I believe that poor people are more likely to receive very long sentances in the US justice system. This is because if a middle class kid commits a crime their family will hire a lawyer and ensure proper process at least. So it seems to me that in the USA poverty is a predictor for disrupted family life, it is more likely that your mum or dad will be removed from your family for a prolonged period if you are poor even given a similar propensity for criminality in your group. Given that a family is disrupted in this way is it any wonder that decision making capability is then further damaged - producing a depressing spiral down?
Can anyone comment on the best way to run multiple DNS services?

Is this as simple as setting up the same records on multiple providers and updating your nameservers to point to the different providers? Or is there more involved?

Are there any providers which will replicate records from your 'master' provider, or is this going to be manual?

Yes, you can collect racial statistics, but the thing that is expressly prohibited is to make a registry where you connect a person with these attributes.

The idea is that it should be impossible to, for example, get a list of all the communists in an area, or all the homosexuals, or all the moslems, or everyone of African descent.

It's a defense of minorities against a future fascist government. Which I think is kind of neat.

It's not the number of casualties that scares people, but rather the nature of the threat.

Fires have existed for several millennia. Our ancestors who built and lived in the very first settlements suffered from their homes/stores occasionally burning down. We know what types of conditions increase risk of fires and we know how to minimize those risks and put the fires out when they occur.

Bombs on the other hand are unpredictable. They also cause their damage instantly and there is no way to minimize or prevent it. You can escape from a burning building, or if stuck, wrap a piece of wet cloth around your mouth to minimize the amount of smoke you breathe while you wait for rescue. You can't outrun an explosion.

That's why people are a lot more scared of bombs than they are of fires (or car accidents, for that matter, which kill many more people than both fires and bombs combined).
Yes yes, propane is so dangerous in cars. There are about 3mil LPG cars in Poland right now. I dont remember a SINGLE case of a TV report about LPG car blowing up (= non news). I had to google to find out how often that happens and what are the ramifications.

I found people with charred mustaches, first degree hand burns, all from _catastrophic_ gas leak followed by flash explosion inside the cabin. Example video clip: http://motoryzacja.interia.pl/wiadomosci/ciekawostki/news-ta...

Stats: LPG ignition is 8 times _less likely_ than regular gas fire in case of a leak.

so dangerous ...
I just googled "ipfs cyclic link" and the answer is in the first result. How long have you been thinking about this "dilemma"?
> - Get multiple DNS services now. Not just two. Get four or five, some of which are not widely used.

Why is this not a default feature by DNS providers themselves?

I always assumed they act as slave copies for each other to avoid this kind of situations
Well, IPFS allows you to upload trees of files to a single IPFS node.
So you just create three webpages, put them into a single folder and use `ipfs add` on this folder. Your webpages will be available with relative links, being exposed at addresses like `/ipfs/<Sha>/page_a.html` and `/ipfs/<Sha>/page_b.html`.

Under the hood those pages will be standalone ipfs Duke nodes with separate hash addresses, and your root folder will be actually a set of pointers to those hash addresses — but you don't need to keep that in mind when uploading a site.

Agreed. Being political is a ton of work. I find doing what OP suggests, which amounts to silently taking responsibility for other people's feelings instead of openly communicating about them, to be taxing as hell. Putting on an emotional mask usually is.

Being "political" in this sense is a codependent behavior.

Instead of operating out of fear of others' reactions, I prefer to give people the space they need to feel their anger, embarrassment, etc. by checking in with them over how they feel & empathizing with them.

I'll also agree with OP that approaching people 1-on-1 about big changes is much easier than putting someone on the spot to be open about & own their emotions in front of a group of people. The group's likely been trained to "act professional" by hiding their emotions as opposed to being professional by producing quality work. Sadly, that's not the sort of culture typically found in a business.

The last engineer I worked with taught me a similar lesson after one of our last meetings: "You lost the moment you became emotional. Don't ever let people see your feelings in a meeting like that."

He was right about one thing: a group of "professionals" hates emotions. Go find a group of emotionally mature adults to work with & work on your own emotional maturity. Here are some hints for how to work on yourself that also acts as a list of mindsets to spot in others:

- nobody makes you feel anything
- you have a choice how to respond emotionally to all thing, though the amount of time your brain gives you to spot the choice may be unnoticeably small
- that spot can grow with practice (mindfulness meditation)
- whatever you're feeling in the moment is ok...you're allowed to feel it
- unpleasant feelings signal a fundamental human need going unmet...find the need & address/accommodate it
- everyone's doing the best they can and always have been...if someone isn't doing the best they can, the real culprit is you not accepting someone
- own your feelings...don't defend them, especially by blaming them on other people.
- apply all of this to every single person, including the worst of people.
- read "Nonviolent Communication" https://www.amazon.com/Nonviolent-Communication-Language-Lif...
We can carry this a bit further. How does someone lacking these skills deal with students? I don't know all the details of his case, but I wonder how he handled grading inquiries and disputes with students, and how willing he was to adjust his teaching to meet the needs of the students.

And just to be clear, I'm well aware of claims (right or wrong) that teaching doesn't matter, but this is different from student evaluations of teaching.
Yes, I think our definitions might be different. "Nice" to me means people-pleaser; doing nice things to others and merely hoping that people in general will be nice to you back (without expecting it) - Unfortunately this doesn't usually work. Being nice is compulsive for me so I have to constantly remind myself to "be a jerk".
One can also study ipfs project websites (ipfs.io, dist.ipfs.io and so on).
Those are just static bunches of files (html and resources) hosted in ipfs and served with a standard ipfs gateway (located on gateway.ipfs.io address). Gateway just looks up _dnslink TXT records for corresponding domains, and serves files from the ipfs hash address specified there.
That's true on all left skewed countries, not just France. Southern Europe countries are a good example of such distortions.

That is how it works indeed. Most programmers ignore that or refuse to acknowledge it.

Unions can only standardize on the lowest common denominator, which is utter shit in programming jobs.

What's an union gonna do? Make a law to force 10 people startups to give more than 0.001% equity and another to tell programmers that they can freely go home after 80 hours a week?
Slides look cool. So much better than they would in MS PowerPoint
I have a somewhat similar background. When I was young (<18) I used to feel guilty from time to time. I mean there is no denying that I got a head start by being in a family that could support me in school, pressure me into getting an eduction, etc.

But after a while I started noticing a pattern. The people that are into shaming me are the ones that never do anything, never get involved into anything, all they do is attack others to feel better about their lack of results. Somebody who wants to change the world for the better sees an asset in me. I am smart, educated, have financial stability, I have resources to help others and it pays to have me working by their side.

So now in my middle age I laugh at these original sin proponents. White guilt, middle class guilt, born into money, cis, heterosexual, etc, just endless emotional bullshit by drama queens who never accomplished anything. I work and produce results. They just wanna tear down everything that makes them feel weak without having anything to replace it with. The freaking internet would stop without people like me and they would have no facebook and salon to bitch on.

Well, anyone can look up a person's census address, which isn't necessarily where you live, but it's probably an address you have control over, or someone else lives there who you trust.

When you interact with government or banks or anyone that needs to send you important documents, those are mailed to your census address, and nowhere else. It makes it much harder to do identity theft. (Basically, the whole transparent system makes it a lot easier to prevent identity theft)

I don't see how spammy services would benefit from this, for what it's worth I received a crapton more directly addressed spam when I lived in SF than when I lived in Stockholm.

Stalkers are handled by the system, as other commenters have pointed out, you can get a protected address, which means that very few can look up your census address.
