The consequences for each higher level on that ladder are significantly less. Those with the least to lose, shareholders, have most of the power. Therefore those should be held to the greatest account. Those with the most power. The reason the system is structured this way is exactly that, those with most power make the rules. And pass the responsibility down the chain to the lowest peons. The recent disasters, well 6 years old disaster, like the Deep Horizon Well fire come to mind.
There is a web client. You can test it at http://health.gnusolidario.org:8000/ with database: health30 Username: admin and password: gnusolidario
About the desktop client, ugly is a matter of taste but at least it is very efficient for intensive usage (like daily encoding)
Now I'm imagining all the viral tweets I've seen lately containing fake news, and how much help pre-approval would be in stopping the inconvenient replies containing Snopes links. More control is a tool that cuts both ways.
Yeah, this discovery has serious implications on fighting climate change, since methane emissions from cows is a large share of global co2e emissions.

Interestingly, I heard that the particular seaweed that is effective is not commonly found in large amounts and does not grow by itself in open water. This means it either has to be farmed using novel techniques on the sea (like what northseafarm.com tries to do) or a new breed of seaweed has to be created (see hortimare.com). Cool stuff.
The difficult to decentralize parts:

- hashtags (big aggregators are needed that can answer hashtag queries). Similarly, proposing new tweeters to follow, etc.

- receiving messages. This needs more than RSS, which is only a pull mechanism. It needs both push and pull.

Then there are social problems.

I don't know how far diaspora and OStatus/GNU Social have come. I think diaspora is more concentrated on building a software platform than on protocols (which if so I think is the wrong approach).

OStatus, i.e. thinking of communication protocols, is the right way to go. However it's very very difficult to agree not only on a common protocol, but also on data formats (what's a tweet, what is an album, etc.)
"What you hate is the caricature of them the Democratic Party and the national liberal media created, and that you swallowed, hook, line and sinker.

You fell for the oldest trick in the propaganda playbook. Obama, Clinton, Hollywood, and their media handmaidens “otherized” tens of millions of hardworking, God-fearing Americans, and you said amen.

These hucksters turned anecdotes into universal truths. They found a racist or heard an anti-Muslim comment at a Trump rally and bingo, declared an entire movement bitter clingers, deplorables and irredeemables.

You accepted the caricature because it fit the stereotypes reinforced in your closed circle. It has ever been thus for the smart set.

Here’s Time magazine describing the 1932 Democratic convention that nominated FDR: “Like Irish potatoes and more noxious growths were the city delegations — Tammany’s full-blown ward heelers, micks from Brooklyn and Boston, hybrids from Chicago . . . lusty bumpkins from Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana and drooping-gone-to-seed specimens from the country roadsides.”

Minus the flair, that’s pretty much how the New York Times, MSNBC and this year’s version of Time described Trump supporters. They lied to you.

If you must be angry, be angry at them. They are the great deceivers, and they haven’t stopped."
I don't believe anyone who won't buy a bunch of options short the companies they describe as going to collapse. I mean, if you _know_ something is going to collapse, you've got a money-making opportunity. And if it's the total collapse you're predicting, you can make out like a bandit. If you don't have the money to do this, I don't really trust your ability to make money anyway.

That doesn't mean I believe anyone who backs their prediction with money. Necessary but not sufficient condition.

There are thousands saying it's going to the moon tomorrow, and thousands saying it's going to crater tomorrow. Someone's going to be right no matter what. When the cost of failure is zero, everyone's going to have an opinion and there's no way to know if anyone's opinion mirrors their true preference. Their true preference may yet be wrong, but at least it's their true preference, so it may be worthwhile to spend time finding out why and see if it truly applies.
New era of 'cut and paste' humans getting close
On the contrary, we should support Twitter more after their recent laudable efforts in banning neo-Nazi accounts. There is no freedom to spout hate speech on someone else's platform.
A) Laws are made by humans and can be changed.

B) Did you even read the site? It is not advocating whipping it out in front of a crowd.

Besides, it would have been completely legitimate to state that this can potentially go bad places because of stupid laws. But that isn't what you did. You did your best to just shoot the idea down entirely. "Go directly to jail...etc" This is not a case of "Go directly to jail." This is a case of "If you do this stupidly, be aware that in some jurisdictions this could lead to potential jail time...etc ...so be careful if you wish to do this."

Also, seaweed is a good source of protein, which for cows tends to come from (imported) soy or corn.
Context Search is actually worse than default because i don't want to add one more click to access default search engine search i want to stay as it is and below that add wikipedia and WolphramAlpha engines.
I cannot fathom where your doubts could be possibly coming from.
The sentiment is ok, but not sure how to make that work in a practical sense.

It would need to avoid allowing the unscrupulous to (falsely) badmouth competitors.
Everything gets negative reviews - even if God Himself stepped down and put a poem on Amazon that was explicitly designed to trigger hidden backdoors in people's firmware to induce state of extreme pleasure, somebody would leave a negative review because they've only read second stanza while drunk, and decided it sucks. One has to get used to it, and learn not to flinch away from reading an occasional negative review to make sure whether it's just someone's very specific subjective opinion, or whether it can be a problem for many other readers too.

I've thought about adding a smaller plan, I still might at some point but it certainly reaches a level where it's not really worth it, especially since I want to provide equal support to everyone. I'll have to experiment with that.

I had limited free plans originally but that went horribly wrong haha, free users only attract other free users, a few days later I had like 4000 free people. Maybe that works for startups, but not "real" companies.
Unions are pro-Democrat (their members possibly not so much this election though). I really can't see Trump supporting them for multiple reasons.
Expect Obama to forget about this when it comes to pardoning HRC.
That makes sense. Please feel free to engage me here or offline - happy to introduce you to the right folks for this discussion.
I find some value from picturing 4D objects as 3D objects moving and changing size and or shape through space. In the ball example. At T:1/4 and T:3/4 I see the same 3D ball shape with different balls. At time 0, 0.5, and 1 they are gone.

As such it's natural for a 4D where to fit in the middle as it can be centered at T:1/2 and you just need to find the intersection point in 4D space where the balls touch.

Now, this does not work for rotations, but it's better than nothing.
Ask HN: Why has wikipedia model not worked for (micro)blogging?
Why can't we replicate the model of wikipedia (user controlled, donation based) for things like blogging and microblogging (quora/twitter/blogger/tumblr) ? Why can't we have a community controlled, distributed systems for public good which make no money. Why can't we have a wikiuber where the system takes no cut ?
I haven't tested it extensively but if you boot up API Gateway and a hello-world Lambda function, the function itself takes maybe 1ms to run, while API Gateway seems to add roughly 150-200ms on top of that.
I like poplar, the drawers of this tool chest are poplar:

http://www.mcvoy.com/lm/photos/ancient/9.html
http://www.mcvoy.com/lm/photos/ancient/10.html

The problem with poplar (much like pine) is finishing. It tends to be blotchy like I think you can see in the pictures.

If you don't care about how it looks (I didn't for a shop toolchest) then it is a joy to work with. Planes really really well. Hard enough and strong enough (that chest is 20 years old and the drawer slides, poplar on maple, work great. Silky smooth feel to them).
Absolutely love these mad libs style announcements. I can't say why but they give me a rather pleasant feeling, and the clear tone of voice change seems to signal to me "important stuff here" while the rest is "filler here". Lewisham, especially, is so out of character. Highly amusing.
This seems like a worth-while effort given the poor state of API documentation tools in Python. I view doc tools as the last major deficiency of the Python ecosystem compared to other mainstream programming languages.

Two major features of Python's doc tools that I view as lacking:

No Python doc tool produces well-linked API docs out of the box. What I mean by well-linked docs is that with these systems, all type words in function signatures are hyperlinks, so you can quickly move from a function taking a parameter of type Foo to the documentation for the Foo type. This is a feature that pydoc.io still doesn't seem to provide.

I'd also like to see a local, easily installed tool that can generate documentation like this from just the source code of a project in one command. My previous efforts with Python doc tools had me downloading templates, writing a build pipeline that chained multiple tools together, etc.

All the other major langs that I use have excellent API doc tools than require very little setup or babysitting, and produce well-linked documentation. Java has Javadoc, Golang and Rust both bundle good doc tools, Ruby has Yardoc.

A multi-protocol solution is sorely needed. One that combines mesh networking, internet, QR, audio encoding, even USB dead drops (https://deaddrops.com/).

"Why?", you may ask. Because around the world transparency and accountability is under attack. The many dangers of anarchic information (there are many) are mitigated by the many dangers of repression and influence operations globally.

The back and forth fight between the two is healthy.
(I've provided this feedback in the past to readthedocs several times, but never even got an acknowledgement.)

My project has a C module as part of the project, and the documentation (in rst format) is generated. However to generate it requires a "compilation" step, which rtd does not support. "make docs" will correctly do everything necessary.

Sadly rtd tools want to be in charge of all steps, and provide no way of doing the initial build and file generation.
He'll just blame someone else for his failures.
Clicking an "unsubscribe" link just confirms the email was received. So, don't ever do that.

Instead, just add filters to drop everything from the email sender.

Or if you're like me, make an auto-responder that's directs to their CEO's inbox telling them to "Fuck Off Spammer". (I actually do this)
It's certainly not the most effective, that would probably be Japan. My point was that Switzerland has probably one of the systems closest to the US, so it's the easiest to compare and would also be one of the easiest for the US to copy, were it not for all the pharmaceutical lobbying going on (maybe Trump will solve that?)

I just like to use it to point out how the common American argument against universal healthcare don't really apply.

"it's socialist!" - no, you can have a system where everyone pays in according to insurer determined risk factors, pay less overall and still be within what people at minimum wages can afford. Below that you subsidize with taxes, but that costs very little compared to total health spending.
It doesn't have to be a 'Nazi symbol' for self professed Nazis and white nationalists to identify with it. Check out the mentions of any prominent Jewish person on twitter, it's a cesspool of Pepe frogs telling them to get in ovens or whatever other idiocy they've come up with today.

Case in point, David Duke saying "you can't zog the frog":

ZOG = anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that the Jews secretly run most countries behind the scenes.
Yes. Let's support them for justifying their censorship by misapplying a label to whomever they disagree with.

Don't agree? You must be a Nazi! A child's argument.
I don't mind. You're passionate about your work. That's a good thing.
Here's the question, though. By professionalization, does that mean that only members who have a CS degree can get a job? Does that mean that we have to carry insurance? What does that mean for access to compilers -- is it illegal for anyone but a certified professional to put up a website? How big does it have to be before it has to have certified developers?
That's what I thought too but no, it's totally doable (I am doing it after all) and the average page count according to goodreads is 357. I have no family, I work a 9-5 at a multinational and my only other hobby is bouldering. I use every spare moment to read. If you added up all your spare time every day you'd be surprised (clearly). It's not evenly distributed - I usually catch up over the weekend when I have loads of free time (2 days). Also it doesn't take 8 hours to read a book (at least not every one, fiction is pretty quick). Not even an audiobook (which are slower even when you speed them up x2.5)!

Even if it took 8 hours on average (which might be right, I never actually tried to measure this) you could still read 9 books a week with 72 hours:

( (24 * 7) week

- 40 work

- (8 * 7) sleep )

/ 8 hr/book

= 9 books
I posted this to gather views about the likely impact of widespread adoption of UBI on prices, especially rents. I suspect that rents will increase in areas with employment opportunities, and push the UBI minimalists to dormitories on the periphery. Any views?
Personally, books are why I don't mind having ~40 minute commute one-way to work in the city. I use public transport and read books. Of course, I try to read some more at other times too, but at least I have a guaranteed minimum of 5-6 hours of reading time each week. I'd be utterly mad if I had to commute that long by a non-self-driving car though.
Ugh, the code in Figure 13 is mis-compiled by the super-optimizer. It seems that their checking procedure is flawed. How was that not caught in peer-review?

The problem is that the ranges pointed by x and y could (partially) overlap, in which case the SSE-based optimization is incorrect.

Edit: Even more damning, gcc actually does produce an equivalent optimal code sequence for me when the incoming pointers are correctly marked as restrict and -march=native is used. (Although perhaps that's due to different gcc versions; maybe a gcc improvement was inspired by that article.)

Edit #2: I see they actually discuss this in the main article text. Oh well, I'm leaving the comment here since the figure by itself is misleading.
I have quite a few memories before 4, going back to 2 years of age, more than I can remember. I will say that one thing that is a little different for me was that we moved every year until I was 7 so that had helped me place things and maybe retain memories a little better for some reason.
What do you mean specifically? I'm not sure how to compare Wikipedia (ideally one shared work, cooperative editing and control) with blogs (everyone writes their own things, in their own corner they control) for the question.
Hacker News is actually a high quality medium and I God it pretty information dense. Facebook, on the other hand, gives me lots of videos of stuff that is utterly useless, and often just makes you feel angry about the world. I'm using it less and less.

Twitter I don't use at all. I don't even read it.
+1. I used to feel creepy about going through some dead guy's stuff. I was having a beer with my old tool dealer (Dave Paling, long since passed on, unfortunately) and mentioned that to him. He fixed me by saying:

Dave: "Larry, who do you want to have your tools when you die?"
Me (instantly): "Someone like me, someone who will use them and take care of them."
Dave: "And that's why you don't need to feel creepy, he'd be happy you got them."
The problem with blogs is: they lack private, instant communication channels.

Blogs may be better if you're e.g. a politician, philosopher or anyone who wants to distribute long-form content - but they're unusable if you like to engage in personal conversation.

I surely would not have found my last girlfriends without Twitter, just saying... it has unique advantages over FB, blogs, mail, Tinder and anything else out there.
Would they actually have fired you for not showing up at all?

Walmart is just a front for off loaded cheap Chinese goods. Sure using labor camps, product dumping and destroying the sky doesn't happen in our backyard. But the concept of Walmart as pro American is disgusting. Anything to harm it is good. Good for this app. Bored? I'll fund a new one.
Do you know of anyone who's combining one or more of these, in app form, for this purpose?

I have made an "audio encoder" (https://github.com/quiet) and I've given some thought to how you might make a mesh tweet network on top of it, but real world constraints are hard.

Is Engine of Innovation in Danger of Stalling?
For low-volume data (mostly configuration files) of my personal machines, I have been using tarsnap for a couple of months now. It has saved me once already when the µSD card holding the operating system on my home server gave up the ghost, so I consider it a good investment (it helps that tarsnap is pretty cheap thanks to deduplication).

For higher volume data (source code, mostly) I use a droplet at Digital Ocean and keep my data spread across several machines at home.

On my desktop, a Mac Mini, I use Time Machine with an external ~1.7 TB USB drive that I hook up every couple of days (roughly twice a week).

It is not the most sophisticated arrangement, but it works well enough as insurance in case a machine suddenly dies. It works less well against accidentally removing files, but I have cut myself into that particular finger often enough to finally learn my lesson. ;-) [The downside of this lesson is that I've become kind of a hoarder when it comes to files. But these days, disk space is cheap, so it is not that much of a problem.]
Do you remember when mousing over a picture would show the alt tag in something resembling a tooltip? (Maybe it can still be set like this, but isn't default in Chrome or Firefox anymore.) I recall being quite amused sometimes at what people would write as their alt text.
In the coming weeks, I will be running a little experiment by trying to post even my short, previously twitter-only blurbs to this blog. I will have to cross-tweet these, but at least the primary source will be right here in my own database.

So basically the blogger plans to start adding tweet-length blog posts, and otherwise will continue using both Wordpress and Twitter as they're intended to be used.

In each of these fields, as practiced today, professional and ethical conduct on the part of software engineers is a necessary precondition for the successful outcomes downstream.
Exploration vs exploitation :). It's hard to judge well. Were you to read 30 books 10 times each, you'd probably wonder if you couldn't read more different books instead ;).

I wonder what the perfect number is. For non-fiction, I guess you'll hit diminishing returns with most books in something like 5 iterations. But then again, I want to take a following challenge: pick one good fiction book, and read it 100 times. I've read (in Adler's "How to Read a Book", I think) that the way you understand and feel about a piece of writing will change profoundly after so many read-throughs.

Note that Arq with Glacier only is usually a mistake (as discovered by the poster below), since restores need to be requested and queued up, and take hours to come back with the results. Restores are also very expensive.

As an Arq user who used Glacier previously, I much rather recommend using Google Cloud Storage:

* Nearline restore is instantaneous;

* Storage per month is >30% cheaper [1];

* Recovering data from GCS is super cheap; about 3% (!) of equivalent Glacier costs.

For the super paranoid, GCS also has more expensive multi-region buckets.

Yes, I regularly test the backups by restoring a random directory to my desktop and then opening a few random files to test. For things like photos which don't change (as opposed to a document which may have been edited) I'll do a quick spot-check of file hashes as well.

I'm picky about backups and have never had an issue where files were permanently lost. I'm to the point now where if I'm not sure I want a file I'll go ahead and delete it, and then if I need it later I restore from the Back In Time snapshot.

Storage is dirt cheap, so spend the time up front getting your backup 'idiot proof' and automatic and it's totally worth it in the long term.
