> Not really. An hour drive is still an hour drive.

An hour drive is an hour drive, but 60 miles is an hour drive in the US, it might be 30~45mn via the Autobahn or Schnellstraßen.

> s. That there is no speed limit in principle doesn't mean that you can go any speed in practice. Most of the autobahn has speed limits and road works.

Sure, but speed limits tend to be much higher than they are on US interstate.
You may be abnormal, but most people text sexually explicit comments they'd prefer neither be in corporate or government databases. (And a ton of other highly private, perfectly inocuous material.)

There's no reason people should be confined to only discussing those topics with people in physical proximity, and encrypted IM apps perfectly fit that use case.

There's also a legal and technical distinction between the NSA (or phone company) reading plaintext on the wire and actively compromising a device. Your comment faceteously ignores that.

Ed: I think of it like locking my front door. My deadbolt won't stop the government getting in, but it establishes (for legal reasons) that I had taken steps to ensure privacy and it raises the chance they leave signs of entry, rather than being covert.

It's not that Im trying to hide things from the government -- they could just ask me anything they wanted to know. I just want them to have to ask, not just covertly take whatever they want.
No dice :(
As a sysadmin, if I had limitless IPv4 addresses, I'd still use NAT on servers and clients because it's a useful security layer. There's little reason that individual devices need globally routable IP addresses.

The content you're presented with on the net is more and more controlled by algorithms. They provide you with stuff they think you'll like. This has an influence on your opinions. On a large enough scale this can very much influence policies and societal developments.
> And the counterpoint is? ‘People should give Google/Apple root access on their devices to run this new secure messenger’?

I feel like you might've misstated your intended point, but in any case:

- Most threat models exclude the situation which you're discussing here because risks are generally low and, in the event of such a threat becoming material, the entity is probably screwed regardless of whether that threat is considered due to the costs of mitigation. (Seriously -- how would a company or person mitigate this short of independently auditing the code for the OS? Or building their own? And what happens after you look at the code? Do you then look at the hardware too? How low would you go? How low would your attackers go, for that matter?)

- If you're the target of attackers who would actually try to gain access to your device through compromising the device maker, you've got bigger problems.

The philosophical argument doesn't really work here because there's no practical solution that anyone can (or would, really) adequately fund.

P.s. just to clarify, I'm not tptacek.

No, he's saying that people run applications on fundamentally insecure operating systems.

That doesn't make them right, nor him wrong.
Not much! Just a few bytes for each packet. Running a NAT service requires a big table of all the active connections, ie. it's stateful - IPv6 with no NAT needs no per-connection state in the router so that's a big space-saving.
The claim isn't about memory needed to flesh out an entire address range, but resources allocated to things like nat in ipv4.

Why am I trying to fill out in memory an entire /64? More importantly what purpose will doing that for a home network that will at best have 100 nodes even with ipv6? The memory needed to route and track 100 ipv6 nodes vs 100 ipv4 is a rounding error. Even if I enabled privacy extensions the amount of addresses is miniscule.

Nat sucks, end of story, and yes ipv6 requires more memory. It is a bigger address range after all. We also gain a lot of what we lost with ipv4 years ago.
Have one, relegated to cleaning the garage. Just too much issues in a household with toddler stuff lying around (toys).

I'd pay serious money for a real cleaning robot though. Not a little disc but something that can navigate stairs, clean higher surfaces. Currently paying humans to do it. They have access to my house, etc.

Once that cleaner robot really exists, imagine the extensions to it. Give it some other sensors and you have a fire alarm and firefighter. Even overall security. Close the doors behind you. Turn off something you forgot.

Rather than put chips in every item and automate everything I'd rather have one big thing to automate my (legacy) house. Easier to upgrade, fix plus I'd have a fully functioning house if the logic fails.

Looking at Japan, they seem to lead in this area. Can't wait.

Nobody buys EVs because they are not an alternative yet. However this may change in 3-8 years. And then there will be german automakers with the best EVs in the world.
So you're basing your conclusion on a graph that's mixing EV and PHEV? And only for the month of August? BTW due to its seasonality you cannot make any assumptions about the car market by looking at only 1 month.
Sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean by "give Apple/Google root access"? I've always assumed they already have that.. if no, how does OWS give them root access?
It most definitely has a prayer against a submarine. A carrier is never alone; it's always protected by a fleet that keeps an eye out for any threats, including submarines.

That said, diesel-electric subs are definitely a weak spot for a carrier group.

The German car companies already have hired great engineers, but thankfully they couldn't care less about the "rockstar" label. You draw a direct line from software engineering to automobile engineering, without honoring the fact that those two branches are fundamentally different in Germany.

That is what wins in the end, Uber's pricing is 20-30% cheaper than all competitor's at least in India.But even if they match it, things like time estimation, wait time etc are mostly accurate with Uber's app which adds to the total experience.
But humans already make those judgements, and when they make errors, it's tragic too. If a psychologist erroneously decides that you're a menace to yourself and should be institutionalized, would it make you feel better that it was a human that made this decision? Even if AI would make the same error with a much lower probability?
I don't know what you talk about, if you give some links, maybe it would help. You are free to believe whatever you will, and these "god playing dice" arguments I don't even want to discuss, I'm curious just about the seriousness of this light "tests" you claim, given that the speed of light in vacuum is by definition now fixed -- it is the basis "meter" for the other things to measure. Thanks.
The lack of introspection for union types during compile time has created some frustration for me as well. Not having some kind of compile time union list available sucks (it would probably be possible using some LISP-esque macro system), but I will gladly accept it, given the runtime safety.

I would like to encourage the author to revisit the 'timeRangeFromString' function and consider wrapping the result in a Maybe or Result, as this is exactly the type of function that is not guaranteed to deliver a result. With strongly typed languages like Elm it is best to use the type system to one's advantage, and not fight against it.

That is not to say that everyone should like Elm or similar languages, but they require you to shift the way you think about how you structure types.

This actually offended me the most about Dragon Age : Inquisition - the way that every interaction with the world seemed to be 'hit it with your sword'.

Early on you find a region which contains groups of Templars battling rogue sorcerers, so I thought that you'd get some interesting interactions where you have to pick a side, or play mediator, lending your strength to one of these opposed factions. Instead we got the worst kind of videogame logic - both sides were hostile to me, permanently, with no chance of talking to either of them. Approach within a certain distance and they'll attack you until they or you are dead - the sort of mindless hostility that can only be excused in zombie games. And to top it all off, both sides kept respawning after I killed them, so their silly, pointless tussles go on indefinitely.

Wouldn't dictionaries be a better option than union types? Union types seem to be for heterogeneous types, but Select boxes are homogeneous. Dictionaries are key/value stores with multiple named values per key, and they can be iterated. Sounds perfect for the usecase.

So two red flags. Author wanted to replace an existing tech with another buzzword tech he has never worked with. And the author immediately choose the wrong data type, likely because it was different.

I do agree though, if a web framework cannot easily do forms, its not very useful.

At least VW and BMW have real, practical and selling EVs.

But those are huge companies. They cannot say "let's only sell EVs". They can't even say "let's downplay gas-driven cars and emphasize EVs".

What do you want them to do? Fire 95% of employees and sell 1% of the cars they are selling today?

Of course Tesla looks forward-looking. They are all-EV, they are fighting for profitability, they don't have existing business to protect.

And protect you must your existing business. "Pivoting" is one of the favourite words in VC and startup circles, but it's also fairy-land, not a plausible economic decision in this situation.

Is the codec choice any better? The last time I tried to use it the audio quality was awful.
I used Karhoo on a few occasions for airport trips and found the experience better than going direct to a minicab company, but only marginally. As other people have said, it didn't offer the same level of timing accuracy as Uber and it took quite a long time to get quote information from providers. Still, sad to see them go. Really only leaves Uber as a viable option for London.
Yeah Agile is the assembly-line version of software development. You're reduced to optimizing effort for your very local problem space. And its a grind. The 'sprint' is well-named though - you constantly race toward another crappy feature done with minimum effort.
I think coding is a craft, and like any craft, it can be used to make art, but it can also be used to less than artful ends.

Same with my profession: writing. I'm a professional writer. I get paid quite a lot for what I write, but what I write isn't art. I've just trained myself to produce a commodity that others find valuable. Obviously the craft of writing can be used to create art, but that's not what I do.

The craft of programming could be used to create great art, but that's not what most programmers do with it.

It's an e-commerce fashion store for sunglasses. It is very similar to a website that sells watches, freewatchcompany. The website is built off the Shopify platform, which is amazing. Products are dropshipped from China, and made easier using an app called Oberlo. I don't put any additional time into the website, though I should.

I advertised using Facebook/Reddit one time and made over $100 revenue in the first 24 hours (end of September), then got busy and haven't touched the site since. The site is pretty much setup and ready to go. You would have to run through the site's products and confirm that the seller on AliExpress is still in business and still has the product, but you can easily use Oberlo to wipe out all inventory and start over with sunglasses that you want to sell.

The sunglasses are all $0 to the customer, but we charge for shipping, which is where the profit comes from. The "free" brings the customer to the door. Typical sale is $10, with profit being between $6.50-$8.00.

Any tips to market the site or make it better are appreciated, as well :)

Lots of people have questions about the nature of the cult that the president seems to be connected with. In South Korea, just like any country, there's an entire spectrum of minor splinter "cults" along the entire spectrum of available religions. Korea has a surprisingly rich and complex religious landscape ranging from ancient folk practices (often translated as "Shamanism" in Korea) to various Buddhist sects to various flavors Christianity (the current religious majority), Confucian practices and so on. All have deep historic, political and social roots and between the cracks of the formal practices, tons of cults, syncretism, and other practices flourish.

For example, it wouldn't be at all unusual for somebody to go to a very formal church on Sunday, attend a Buddhist funeral on Thursday, and go out with friends on Saturday to visit a "fortune teller" before going on a blind date who would supply fortunes based on ancient folk practices. The average person might not even be aware that they are crossing various religious boundaries.

For reasons I haven't quite understood, there's also a cultural acceptance that many people wish to become religious leaders of some sort. It's often manifest in members of the majority Christian churches becoming ministers at very high rates and forming their own minor churches. Korea is littered with churches of all sizes. In general this happens in the formal church structure but it's not uncommon for splinter groups to spin out rapidly as well with various modified beliefs or teachings or even forming syncretic cults of some flavor.

To give you an idea of how intense religion can be in Korea, it's the only known country to have self converted to Christianity and established an internal proselytizing mechanism before missionaries showed up in the country.

Cults are not really accepted in South Korea, most people still look at them as out of the norm, and cult members to be out of the norm, hence the public reaction to the President's connection to a cult.

For anybody interested in the shamanistic folk traditions in Korea, I can highly recommend the movie "The Wailing" (2016) as an both a great movie, and contains several brilliantly filmed scenes of some intense shamanistic practices that I've heard described as "deeply authentic"

Honestly, I agree with the statement that games cater towards men more, but I like playing devil's advocate. I personally believe that psychological differences between men and women make men enjoy video games more, and it's not something that we should attempt to break down because of equality. There are differences between genders in every culture of the world. Instead of trying to blur the line between the genders, I feel we should embrace and celebrate those differences.

> I think we'd generally agree that those portrayals of women are problematic.

Why is it problematic if a game does this? Is it because it makes the game player sexist? If so, then it has the same argument that people make against violent video games in that it makes people violent, even though the data doesn't back that up.
