At this point, this looks ever more akin to charging people to have their phone numbers listed in a phone book. If you don't know what a phone book is, it was the DNS-equivalent of the 1960s. You know those plastic-wrapped bricks of yellow paper that sometimes appear on your doorstep, that you just drop right into the recycling bin? Those things are actually phone books.

The phone book is rather simple. Your individual given name or your business dba name is the dictionary key, and the phone number is the dictionary value. Your dictionary entry is automatically included, unless you paid to be "unlisted". That would keep your phone service provider from printing your name-number pair in their phone books.

This approach is still viable. Every state has a database of corporate names and dba registrations. The secretary of state for Illinois, as an example, could make aaa-plumbing.corp.il.us resolve to the server address for "AAA Plumbing, Inc.", if that business chose to disclose it, or to a landing page otherwise. Likewise, zzz-towing.llc.il.us could resolve to the address for "ZZZ Towing, LLC".

The US Patent and Trademark Office could do the same. Let lego.028.tm.us (and lego.009.tm.us, lego.041.tm.us, etc.) resolve to LEGO Juris A/S Corp's servers, so you can see a site about plastic building blocks, and let lego.005.tm.us resolve to American Lego Group Inc's server, so you can see a site about soy protein supplements.

If you are Foobar LLC, you really shouldn't have to register "foobar.com" and "foobar.net" and "foobar.cc" and "foobar.co.uk" and "foobar.biz" and "foobar.info" and "foobar.sucks" and "foobar.pooky" and "foobar.booger". It isn't really elucidative, and does not help discoverability to have so many TLDs. The problem is that all the simple names have been mined out of the original TLDs, and there is no mechanism to resolve name collisions between Foobar LLC out of the US and Foobar GmbH in Germany. Whoever grabs "foobar.com" first gets to keep it, and the other is stuck trying to make some DNS entry that somehow relates to the company name.

Adding a bunch of niche TLDs helps a bit, but not if the registrar can charge $1k/year for names. That's just ridiculous. You're not going to end up with all the Johns on the Internet getting their own john.something domain name that way. You just let the richest John on the Internet to have all the john.anything domain names.
To prevent regulatory capture/tit-for-tat/spontaneous alliances, I would think that we need a loop at least three agencies long; Police A watches Police B who watches Police C who watches Police A. We also need proper incentives for all of them to act appropriately. Otherwise they will be either overzealous or lackadaisical.
No, it doesn't exploit the host. The "Host" in the case of such an NAND device is the Baseband SoC, not the ARM controller on the NAND device. You can be pretty sure that Apple did not include decryption on the NAND chip itself. That would defeat the point.

Let's also note that dead.horse exists, though I'm ambivalent as to whether it's as good as bad.horse.
What's interesting is that if you look at history, there are different 'assembly line' paradigms of management, one which could be maybe be termed 'classic American' style (which could be argued necessitated the rise of old-school unions, leading to anti-productive standoffs between management and labor), and the 'Toyota style' which ironically was founded/seeded in Japan by Americans which could not get larger American car companies to listen at the time.

The 'Toyota style' could be argued as more responsive to worker initiative and fits better philosophically with software work. (And Agile is influenced by Toyota-way thinking too, though in a mutated form..)

Hyperbole much? I expect most arrests are done without firearms being drawn.

And plenty of people are willing to kill for other reasons too, which is why no one's discussing that zero police officers should carry firearms. What's being questioned is the policy of all of them doing it.

I'm an engineer at Asana. Trust me, they're full aware that performance is the #1 problem with Asana right now.

The major engineering focus at Asana right now is performance. It has been for a while and they're just starting to roll things out with the new, faster, backend and UI. I think you'll start to see significant improvements soon as the investments they've been making start to roll out. It's already started rolling out to some customers, and the API updates just got turned[1], on for example. Those changes are going to be making it into the UI soon.

If you don't like Asana performance, give it a few months and check back or keep an eye on their blog[2]. Big changes are coming on that front.

I suspect that any domain that gets used becomes "premium."
Its not the same thing, as in Brazil the investigation forces will need to get a warrant from a judge to have access to that data. Exactly the same way it happens for phone records or private bank accounts.

This data is protected by law, and is considered private.. so only a judge, in a ongoing investigation, when asked by police forces, when investiganting crimes for instance, can grant access to this data.

As i understand from what i read in the article, the UK government has direct access to that data, so the privacy of its citizens is not respected or granted by the rule of law.
No no no, this is a very ineffective tactic because most people don't have the time, energy, or ability to read and comprehend history sufficiently well.

Just ask them if they'd be comfortable with Donald Trump or Nigel Farage being able to read their browsing history for a year. If they are, there's no point in talking to them. If they're not, then introduce them to Tor.
No, it's entirely legal to censor. That's why you can have gag orders on cases civil and criminal. I suggest you do more studying of legal procedure and definitions and less reading of Ayn Rand. BTW, my rational thought is probably sharper than yours any day.

There are lots of people that are very passionate about machine learning and artificial intelligence. I would say try to find a meetup group near by (meetup.com). If your area isn't really a tech hub, I'm sure there is a near by University with a computer science department. You could always try to talk to a professor there that is doing similar research.
This was my general impression - especially the early shift issue. I learned to shift manuals ~500 rpm higher than where most automatics seem to, a decision that seems made to produce the smoothest possible automatic acceleration at a cost to efficiency.

Notably, this feels way less pronounced with faster, sporty automatics, which are willing to give you a feel of acceleration and shift more like manual drivers.
And you buy everything various conspiracy theorists and layman politicians sell to you. We have some issues, right, but your generalizing 'stupid' attitude is really better off this land, no matter who's in power.

As I see it, in my case, a part of the problem in finding good people to recruit was the grind through the 100s of applications and only a couple being good enough. This grind added up and I had to settle for less mainly because of time constraints. What if I managed to weed through double the amount of applicants by dismissing the ones that don't handle basic / medium tasks, would have had the time to engage more more quality engineers. It's just a game of odds and I hope I can tilt it.

I think you're vastly overestimating the significance of satellite material cost and underestimating how much larger assembly, testing, and operating costs are going to be. Four thousand satellites sounds like a lot and it is in the single unit volume world of aerospace, but it's not even close to enough to reach the kind of economy of scale everyone thinks about when they hear the phrase mass manufacturing. The cost of parts will be tiny compared to the cost of assembly and testing. To give you some perspective, you can get a 80mmx80mm 28% efficient GaAs solar cell for about $600 on Alibaba and the equivalent Si cell is about $6 with about 20% efficiency. At the volumes needed for a constellation of thousands, from a reputable vendor like Spectrolab, the price difference is in the 50-100x range so assuming a $1 Si cell the equivalent GaAs cell will cost $50.

Do you see how small the difference is in absolute terms? That means that only a few hours of labor per solar cell or 100g of launched payload mean the difference between a 50x and 1x difference. Two GaAs panels ($100) will requires tens of grams less support structure than the three Si panels producing the same power ($3) so already the extra launch cost (at $5k per kg, assuming free payload support structure) for the Si panels is eating away at their benefit. Each solar cell will need hours of inspection and testing by people paid $25+/hr so even if each extra Si cell and support structure costs nothing to launch, the final cost once fully assembled, installed, and tested will be in the range of $1k-10k per solar cell.

Especially at the scale of disposable satellites, GaAs is likely to be cheaper, more efficient, and free more volume and mass in the satellite design. 4000 satellites worth of Si solar cells would be the equivalent of a few dozen decent sized residential installs so it would be a drop in the bucket for SolarCity. I don't think keeping such small scale business in-house is much of an advantage, especially when there are many other suppliers with lots of experience in using solar cells in space.

> They don't want a monopoly, you want them to.

Of course they do. Every strategic decision the company has made over the last two decades is to try to secure a monopoly on your data.

You make it sound like it's easy to run your own full stack of all web-connected applications. It's not. The cost is INSANELY high. So your real choice is whether to use one company, or dozens of individual companies for every individual service. The latter protects you against the risk of something like this happening. But it comes at a day-to-day expense which will far outweigh the prevented risk for 99.9% of people.
I had the same thought... half expecting the cops to execute his dog.
Maybe he has this in mind:

Imagine a high-level, straightforward imperative language X whose only purpose is to specify libraries and data structures. This X has strong typing, memory safety and maybe also memory alignment directives but abstracts away as much as possible from any actual environment/platform/CPU layout. It has a precise semantics and even some ways of specifying pragmatics (e.g. big O runtime behavior of functions). In X you write "pure" algorithms that do not access (m)any OS-dependent features. Libraries in this language are then transpiled to various target languages and platforms.

To use all libraries that have ever been written for X, someone only needs to write a transpiler-backend for the target language/platform once.

LLVM intermediate language is similar but too low-level. Think about a high-level counterpart.
NPR politics podcast (I think the most recent episode) ;) I listened to the same one
History that is not only innacurate, but conveniently presents the author's least preferred side as gratiously Evil?

We have a word for that: propaganda.
"the Roman Inquisition tried Galileo in 1633 and found him "vehemently suspect of heresy", sentencing him to indefinite imprisonment. Galileo was kept under house arrest until his death in 1642." Roman inquisition was run by the church, they found him guilty for disagreeing essentially. Seems pretty clear.

Regardless, the church has a long history of: appeals to authority, discouraging debate, irrational attachment to previous ideas, and overly complex hypotheses (e.g. God) - all of which counter the methods of science. While the role of the church in the evolution of 'science' has certainly been complex, it's not much of a stretch to say that the church has a history of fighting the essential components of the scientific method.
First, pick something interesting to you to work on. Really deep dive. Ask interesting people working in your area and adjacent to breakfast every week day to chat about your thing. Do half the talking. Rinse and repeat a few dozen times.

Then, see if you can engage people at a bar, first the bartender and then a random barmate. This is the test for whether you have storytelling, presentation, emoting, expression, vocabulary, register, eye contact, body language, and the other elements of communication in sync.

Except the standard narrative is fairly honest, if reductionist. Of course the details are far more interesting, but I find there's this new historic revisionism that's trying to whitewash Catholic history and its fairly repugnant. Look at your comment. Putting in qualifiers like Galileo was a jerk and those selfless Vatican officials were just a little "thin-skinned" is making excuses to promote a pro-Church narrative and to blame Galileo. You are aware we are discussing the Inquisition here which, if we include the entire church all through Europe, led to the deaths of over 125,000 people. This wasn't some protocol slight taken overly-wrongly, but an active system of censorship, oppression, imprisonment, and mass murder Galileo was on the receiving end of.

I hate when the "Oh, there's more to this story" attitude is used to defend the wrong narrative. I see it all the time on the internet. Edison is on par with Hitler for some reason, Lincoln is a war mongering criminal for going against the peace loving Confederate states, etc. The larger narrative is dismissed for smaller details that are presented in a way to distract or contradict the larger narrative. Its purposely viewing the trees and ignoring the forest. Sadly, its a popular way for disingenuous people to promote their views.
Exactly. This is super impressive work, but also very specialized. Even for non-EE majors, most IT people could at least understand the basics of what he was doing.

It really isn't that hard (source: designed and ran the development team that built the initial .name platform, before we outsourced it to Verisign; Verisign now owns it outright), and you can contract any number of operators to do it for you.

There certainly is the issue that most of these TLDs aren't very interesting to most people, though. With low demand, I certainly understand why they want to be able to milk the few names that people find attractive.
Hmm. Quite possibly the case, but not quite obviously the case.
I'm pretty far out of my element here, but as I understand even that isn't universal. BMW's Valvetronic for instance doesn't engine break the same way as other engines, because they don't have a throttle valve and don't have a vacuum outside the intake valves:

Just guessing at the parent's intent, but the specification of a function can be decoupled from the production of an optimized implementation of that function, especially if the structure of the function is constrained in some way.

This approach is used to some degree in producing, for example, optimized BLAS implementations and other similar routines:

http://view.eecs.berkeley.edu/wiki/Autotuners

Of course, you do then need to juggle multiple languages. Different languages can be better at expressing different things, though (e.g., "what the function does" versus "how the function does it"), so it's not inherently crazy.
So is it really Russian, perhaps?
Generalists usually feel that way about specialists.

I may be wrong and just speaking from experience, but Americans were really trapped in the .com/net/org for a long time. I think, because that's all we were exposed to... I didn't realize the depth and usage of CCTLDs until I moved to Europe, and saw them everywhere.

I agree that the BCL is better off as separate packages (even if it's caused many headaches getting my NETCore build right); but my main point was that the BCL is pretty much 100% stuck in OO-land. Aside from a few types and interfaces (DateTime, string, IEnumerable, IObservable, ...), there's no coherent functional base for C#: no Option type, by default the collections are all mutable (the immutable versions have terribly awkward names like ImmutableDictionary, etc.), lots of void returning methods, etc.

I could go on, but there's not a huge point to moaning about it, which is why I decided to do something about it. I'm not sure if it's even possible for there to be an official functional BCL without it being a totally new set of packages. It's something that F# would benefit from too.
My argument was that machines can do simple things better than humans, the Golf R automatic transmission is a machine that does shifting better than a human, and you are complaining that the comparison is unfair because the machine is too good at what it does?!?
