My bet is that the "pizza box" phased array rooftop antenna will evolve into a complete base-station. We know it has a multi-element RF front-end feeding in to massively parallel software defined radio (SDR). Likely available in PoE or wireless variants (solar+batteries+wifi; imagine the MIMO with 100 antenna elements!).

SDR is quite interesting because it can track moving satellites, and do simultaneous multipath reconstruction of multiple terrestrial broadcast signals -- digital tlevision, FM/AM/satellite radio, shortwave, etc. No antenna pointing needed, as it's all done in software. After demodulating the carrier the video and audio content is streamed on a local web page available to computers/phones/tablets on the LAN. Existing TVs can be supported via an HDMI or analog (VGA/composite/3.5mm) stick w an RF remote.

Optional (or one-time software unlock?) on-board storage for multimedia time-shifting and distributed CDN caching (reducing bandwidth and latency by keeping commonly served duplicate files like js libraries locally). Having a local server also lets them do fun things in the future like transparent LZMA compression, optional ad/telemetry/malware blocking, data pre-caching, smart shared HTTP caching, etc.

The inclusion of on-board storage allows data to be sloshed around to best utilize the terrestrial spectrum (broadcast content) and satellite spectrum (multicast content). It's much like Tesla batteries allow energy to be sloshed around to best utilize distributed solar and the utility grid.

With proper RF front-end design, support for the diversity of global broadcast standards can added through OTA software updates via satellite. This simplifies hardware into a single "world" model with regional software variants.

Easy install, especially with the wireless version (mount on pole, erect, securely fasten, done). Broadcast signal reach and convenience (any device or TV) that beats the pants off of any OTA antenna out there. Convenient access to terrestrial broadcast content w time-shifting takes some of the load from streaming services, so it's a strategic move and not just a "gee wiz" feature they got cheap because of SDR.

At $200-300 for the equipment and $50/mo for internet, with a good multimedia time shifting UI, SpaceX would cream every rural data provider out there.

Anyway, just the idle dreams of an internet user living in a rural satellite "data desert"...

It's still around for some things, eg Jetstar. You used to be able to do a manual online transfer to pay for flights but now POLi is the only way you can avoid the $5 credit card surcharge. Grinds on me every time I buy a flight.
Yup, agreed. As mentioned above, I'm for pop vote. But... Still a big change and the consequences are very complicated.
> The system emphasizes swing states above others

It's hard to imagine a democratic system where swing voters don't hold disproportionate power. Rusted-on supporters will support you whatever may come, and the opponents' rusted-on supporters will never support you, so as a candidate you spend more time, effort, and money appealing to the noncommittal folks in the middle...

Even excellent voting systems like Condorcet don't change this particular equation; a hardcore supporter of you just simply doesn't need as much of your attention in an electioneering frame of mind.

This all being said, that doesn't mean the current systems in the US aren't horribly misrepresentative. Gerrymandering is a particular problem there.

That being said, if you play it right you can actually make far more in rewards than the merchants paid. There's a whole subculture devoted to it: I routinely earn around 4-5% back, to the point that I prefer to pay my taxes via credit card even with the surcharge.

How would DKIM signatures show who stole the e-mails?

I trust in DKIM signatures. Any statement by an intelligence service ever is caked in multiple layers of conflicting motivations from expanding their budget, pleasing their lax overseers, deflecting incompetence to confusing adversaries.

That is some of the motivations, the negative ones, but you fail to list all the reasons they wouldn't want to lie to make your argument sound stronger.

I understand being skeptical of an intelligence service, but all intelligence services? Well, you'd have to have a pretty strong reason to doubt.
Don't know, I do however have a problem with Quora that is probably related to whatever way they achieve their auto login. I have an Quora account, but at some point in time I accidentally clicked register instead of login, and now I'm permanently stuck in the registration process.

Yeah and I tried to clear everything I could, but no dice.

Overcommit wasn't my main point. My point was that the intersection of systems where:

- You are using the stdlib (so not designing an OS or other low level programming)

- OOM must be recovered from

- OOM-as-panic with recovery at a higher level in the application is not going to work and you need fine grained OOM recovery

is small. Overcommit makes it smaller, but ignoring that it is still small.

TL;DR: Whisper App says it's completely anonymous and encourages users to confess their secrets and talk to other users about their secrets. In the meantime, it developed a sophisticated tracking approach, using both software and social engineering methods. The tracking system bypasses Apple's protection layers. It somewhat succeeds in uniquely identifying a person across multiple devices and these records are maintained indefinitely.
If an ordinary employee tried to take such a stand, he would be ignored, shut up, fired, sued, or perhaps jailed, depending on how firmly he was willing and able to take it.

FYI: "As household staff served them dinner in the formal dining room, the elder Mr. Shultz said Ms. Holmes had told him Theranos’s blood-testing devices worked so well that they were being used in medevac helicopters and hospital operating rooms, Tyler Shultz recalls.

I've been thinking along those lines for over a year and a half since Hillary's email server was leaked by the NYT. Based on the fact that her email was not state.gov, that would have made the server a target. To get her detailed info - along with Bill's - that would have been useful.

In all honesty, can you imagine what's sitting in Bill's email? Or worse, browser history?

Further, why just drop Podesta's email? While he's important in political circles, the average American has no clue who he is.

I think if you really wanted to take down Hillary, you'd release all the nasty, snarky, etc email that you know she sent to people. Not just the nasty things she said about Republicans but other Democrats. Convince her colleagues that she'll insult and sell them out in a heartbeat and enthusiasm dips from both them and their supporters. With enthusiasm goes funding, rally attendance, and turns into a loss.
Irony here is, I just opened a 290k file in vim... and... well, let's just say it was about 30 seconds before I could do anything. So I thought, "let me open this in Atom". Almost immediately it appeared, AND I could scroll through it! (with vim-mode obviously)
Yeah, I probably wasn't obvious enough--my point was that if your hypothesis is "big companies capture academic fields," then you would not predict a world where economics, and only economics, is captured by "big multinationals." (And why "multinationals" instead of, say, the many large and powerful companies that benefit from tariffs and other protectionist policies?)

To me (like you), that suggests that GP is telling a just-so story about why we can ignore economists.
The font is ostensibly for the experimental UI, so that the font license would not encumber the code using the UI toolkit. That said, they did seem to put effort into making sure Go source code would look pretty.

If you think about it, isn't logic boiled down to making the best recommendation? When we make a decision its our logical minds making a recommendation based upon stimuli, previous similar decisions and that elusive 'intuition'. Neural networks already can do the first two, although the third might not ever happen and could be the distinguishing factor between human intelligence and artificial intelligence.

The problem is of course that neural networks currently can be 'the ultimate recommender' as you say, in only one highly specialized task i.e. image recognition, personal recommendations like music, or even self-driving cars. As far a I know there is no way to have a neural network learn two separate skills. Yet anyways.

The big change that I'm hoping will be figured out is how to connect all the specialized neural networks. Having a neural network that once presented with a problem 'recommends' another neural network to best solve it. The person/company that figures that out, no small task, will be an instant household name if not already.
Concurrently modifying aliased memory (`&` references and pointers) is undefined behavior. Not just in Rust, but in just about any language.

As an aside, alias unsafety in Rust is always UB, even without concurrency.
It's a pity when newer typefaces don't have lighter weights — they look far better on high resolution displays than normal/regular weights, which look almost bold.

This is a good story, well written. I remember the previous case with the sleeper agents. The one theme I see is waste. Seems like such a wasteful way to do things -- spend decades planning and setting everything up and then they go and just ask companies for random info. Or during the Soviet times I like how they sent this spy to acquire info on the Space Shuttle, so he went to a public library and photo-copied stuff from there. Years of training and all that setup to go and press the "copy" button in a library.

The timing of the story is not a coincidence I am guessing. They mentioned the "election" so I am assuming it is playing along with the Russians have rigged the election and KGB agents are everywhere. And that's why Clinton's campaign resulted in worse Democratic election performance in 28 years. I don't know about anyone else, I but I am getting a little tired of blaming the Russians for everything. Wonder if editors would agree that we should be a lot stricter with our immigration policy and vet people better before letting them come in...

Just tell yourself it's apt install sybase.
The monospace is kind of okay, I guess, but considering the competition there's nothing special about it. Many users will be coding with colour keyword support anyway, so the idea that it's going to be super-great for Go code is strange.

I found the proportional font really hard to read.

It's not as if Google can't do good typography:

So this seems like a rather self-indulgent and not wholly successful side project.
Minor point: Swing voters and swing states are two different beasts. In the later case you can concentrate effort in one area to gain a quantum all-or-nothing jump: generally, all the EC votes in the state. To target swing voters you need to address a much larger geographic area, and only get the incremental advantage of one vote per person.
Tech Empower Round 13
It sounds like you're done messing with it; but if you're not, you can install it without the Android/Java stuff.
If you let the installer start running, but deny it elevation to write to your system directories when prompted, it will throw up a "manual install" dialog with instructions and links to download the individual components separately.

Then you can download just the IDE, the Mono framework, and the Xamarin.Mac or Xamarin.iOS pieces if you want them.
Elements of the proportional font, like the little foot on the 'a' remind me of Lucida Grande. Lucida Grade was the original OS X system font, which B & H also developed. This is not their first rodeo, its all about licensing.

> algorithmically

Perhaps in the near future, the only "journalists" anyone will trust will be algorithms. Of course, any system can be manipulated. But I think we are dealing with such an unprecedented deluge of information, an increase in population (and therefore motives) and connectedness, that it may be time to consider this.

But your comment begs the question: who will be the gatekeepers of these algorithms?
Fake news exist before the emerge of social media such as Facebook and Twitter. It's like spam but harder to locate. I don't think Facebook can attach this issue properly since they have the ability to stop this from the very beginning.

EXACTLY what I've been thinking...If the Russians really wanted to take her down, they did a pretty crap job about it. Especially if you think about the ways they have taken down their enemies covertly before - in much much smarter ways.

Also, while I get that the Russians have always been way better at HUMINT than the West is at SIGINT (or better at playing dirty?), it doesn't seem quite as successful any more. I accept there is definitely an element of "known unknowns" but the quality of access obtained by the past few Russian spies who have been uncovered has been pretty poor.
The electoral college doesn't need to change. The two bigger problems to me are:

* Winner-takes-all means that in any state that is %60/%40, the 40%'s votes don't affect the election at all.

* Congressmen are representing too many people.

If more states worked like Nebraska and Maine, then people in rural counties in California could decide a few seats on the electoral college. And there's an amendment outstanding to change the number of representatives:

Ranked choice voting is also interesting, but I think not as important right now.
This. The real problem with making definitive statements in economics is you can't run double-blind experiments.

Let's say you create some sort of giant monetary stimulus package. If the economy gets worse proponents will say "Whew! Just think how terrible things would have been without our stimulus package," and opponents will say "Things got worse because of the stimulus package!"

There's no way to know who's right. The best you can do is make imperfect models to encapsulate trillions of individual decisions people make. But that's not proof.

Or imagine a smaller system integrated on a humvee that can destroy electronics in anything along the path a few dozen meters in front and in a smaller side/side area. That'd end the IED threat from anything other than a purely mechanical IED (not sure if many of those are around anymore, as everything assumes electronics will work nowadays).

FastMail on the other hand is a closer equivalent to Google, supporting caldav and carddav for Calendars and Contacts; although as a downside you'll have to configure 3 accounts on iOS to get Mail/Contacts/Calendars via IMAP/CardDav/CalDav if I'm not mistaken.

Blame the Russians is probably too convenient to not be used. It is a useful PR story because it has multiple benefits - it deflects blame "don't read the emails, worry about the Russians hiding in the bushes ready to attack instead", and it takes a jab at Putin. Him and Hillary specifically, are not very good friends. They've battled over on Syria ("I'll set a No Fly zone there!"), but goes back probably as far as Bill Clinton involvement in the Balkan Wars. Of course also by Hillary severely criticizing his own rigging of his election.

During the debates, along all the other entertaining stuff I saw (from both sides), I remember Hillary mentioning how not less than 17 intelligence agencies checked and told her it was the Russians. If you listen to the news, that's how you know something is a lie - they overemphasize stuff. If she is saying Coast Guard Intelligence went out of their way to investigate and tell her the Russians did it, you know it is probably time to stop worrying about Russians and worry about other stuff. (Another example, Cuomo from CNN said "it is illegal to read these documents, you have to come to use for interpretation", I knew, those documents have to be read, probably paying close attention...)

Looking at it from technical aspect, I would imagine any state actor who is not stupid, probably managed to hack into that server. Russians are good but they don't somehow have magic others don't have.
It's absolutely within the range of possibility, even for an individual contributor.
And the open source frameworks.... well it's up to you but I think it should be tackled from the other end. Guys keep your stuff proprietary and sell it. Or at least make the open source version less features. There I said it.
AWS becomes interesting when you want to automate your infrastructure (i.e. infrastructure as software). When you're not orchestrating your infrastructure, then its probably overkill.

DO, as you rightly mentioned, is a lot closer to a straight forward Linux or whatever instance (easier to use). And the prices are very attractive.

I use both and split based on the above. DO is great for hosting web apps / dynamic web sites at a reasonable price. AWS is great for orchestrated clusters / large scale production, or for very low cost static hosting via S3.
