Regardless of how much traction our posts get, or don't, the thing we can be still be reasonably sure about in the US and most of the western world is that we won't be kidnapped, caged, tortured, or killed for whatever sociopolitical commentary we post on Facebook.

Facebook's collaboration with a regime where none of that is true is a disgusting low point, even for that company.
I'm a game developer using C++ every day at work. It's the standard in our industry (at least for AAA games) and probably will be for at least another decade.

I used to choose C for pet projects (when I cared about performance) but I've been learning Rust for ~3 months now. I think I'll replace my usage of C by Rust from here on as much as I can.

I also had a brief affair writing Go but it didn't resonate nearly as well with my background as Rust does.
Cool project, well done. I'd suggest that instead of instructing users to clone your Github project and then detailing how to adapt the RPi code to the CHIP computer, rather create a Github branch that has the CHIP-specific diffs, and link to that branch for users to clone instead of the original branch. That way, your tutorial is also more condensed (a good thing, imho).

Sadly I doubt adding the hypothetical bullshit tag would help. The sort of people sharing and reading this stuff are ones who want to believe it. If you start tagging it as fake they'll just fall back to the argument that The Man doesn't want you to know the truth.

There's no quick fix for this. It's going to take a generation or two of concerted education from an early age in critical thinking, and somehow I doubt making people question what they're told is going to be a priority for the next four years.

Your idea sounds like it might be quite good, just try and keep interactivity fairly often, perhaps.

Voting is explicitly designed not to be end to end verifiable, because if the voter can verify that their vote was recorded correctly, so can someone who wants to buy it or coerce the voter.

We instead take extensive precautions with paper votes to physically protect the integrity of ballot boxes and the counting process explicitly to avoid having to have a system where votes can be verified, because there's been plenty of experience with what can happen if they can be.

The problem with most electronic voting is that it throws away this verification of integrity of the voting record.

Yup, World War II was a ball. Everyone loved that, thought it was a highlight of human history (I'll concede the following fifty years have been pretty good if you live in the right part of the world with the right descendants).
Humans do this too, on occasion. Apart from the obvious but difficult-to-verify night club anecdotes, here's a well-known historical example:

The majority of Chinese people know that social networks and the web in general are censored. Worse than that, it's considered common sense that publicly speaking up against the government is a risky thing to do, which results in self censorship and apathy towards politics. I don't think they would assume things to suddenly be different when using Facebook.
While we are using numbers to establish our cred, I lived in China for 9 years, and i also found the metaphor of "blindfolded, speaking to a room you don't know is empty or not" to not describe the situation accurately. But the reason is only that Chinese internet authorities haven't yet perfected their craft, and are absolutely willing to leave people in the dark and do whatever it takes to control the Chinese "intranet".

No. All modern machines can address 8-bit-wide bytes for historical reasons, but they can also address wider bytes. 32 and 64 bit bytes are common. We call them "words" instead of "bytes", but they're really the same thing: a chunk of data that can be operated on as a single unit by the hardware). And having that capability exposed as a software abstraction can be extremely useful, particularly in applications like cryptography.

PrimeNG 1.0.0 Released
It's bascially the same as for UI components. Adobe had the great MXML based Flex framework back then.

The web world only slowly catched up, and I think it took until the current gen of frameworks (angular2, etc.) to be at the same level. However the good thing (as you also pointed out) is that the new variants are based on standards.
This looks impressive, especially how they seem to handle rebases/squashes with force push, which is a problem that pretty much all other repo managers simply ignore (except for Gerrit, but that one has other problems...).
>> we can be still be reasonably sure ...

I would point to the word "still". If something can be used against you, it will sooner or later be used against you. I hope we won't live long enough to see this coming true.
And that would be a worthwhile thing to know.

> I disagree because the EU does not allow me to buy what I might want to buy.

This is not true. What they are trying to ensure is that you buy what you think you are buying and it is reasonably safe. If for example you want to buy a fake aloe product you can, it is just not allowed that it says aloe on the packaging.

> There is nothing about honor in the system that I want.

The honor system in this case means that the company is responsible for controlling itself and not defrauding consumers. They can still decide not to obey it and there is always the possibility that someone might check.

See public transportation in many cities as an example. You don't need to prove that you bought the ticket to get on the bus (the company trusts you), but if someone checks you pay a fine. I would say that this is not very far from what you want.

> If you are found to be fraudulent you should be sued for a lot of money

Well the problem with this is the "if" and the "when". It might take years for the fraud to be discovered and not all damages are easily fixed with compensation money (e.g. medical problems may arise). There is also no way to make sure that the money is recovered. Companies do go bankrupt. For the managers of a company, a 5% chance of a company-killing lawsuit in the next 10 years may even be worthwhile, if the profit is high enough and they (personally) can get away with it. And then there are those companies that are too big to fail anyway (too many workplaces lost, too many people directly affected, etc.)

> consumer more options

I'd rather have two options for which I am fairly certain that they are safe and not fake, than ten or twenty that could be anything. Leaving the checking to private initiatives and/or self-control is at least blind optimism. The incentives are not really there. At best it will be done only for things where the potential for large compensation sums is high.

> Why do you think we still use a 150 old technology of combustion engines whereas basically every other aspect of civilization has come so far?

Because with current technologies (this might change in the future) it is far simpler to store combustibles than energy in other forms (electric, kinetic (in form of fly wheel)).

Specifically for cars it is much faster to fill the tank with combustibles (petrol, diesel, natural gas, LPG) than to recharge the accumulator. Also specifically for electric cars the accumulator has a limited number of charge cycles. Since the accumulator is a (relatively) very expensive part of an electric car this can easily reduce the value of a used electric car by a lot.

The storage of electric energy is IMHO indeed the fundamental problem solar and wind has: While we can get (law(s) of large numbers) good large scale estimates how much energy we can harvest, it is not always there at the time that wee need it. So we have to find a way to store large amounts of it to be able to apply the law(s) of large numbers. This is where the problem lies.

Of course we can hope for large breaktroughs that will solve these problems, but I'm talking about current technology.

This is is actually what is currently happening in my market. My customers are increasing their volume each month while those that aren't using it are going down. The only problem is the market is quite fragmented so this approach only works if I have a customer in each market. I am working on solving this problem :)

Edit. I should add that I have offered a discount in return for being able to publicise their use. Unfortunately, everyone has declined the offer.
I understand the argument that businesses exist solely to make money. I dispute that it's true. Businesses are ultimately made up of people, and those people shouldn't be checking their morals at the door, they should be considering whether what they're doing is worth it.

We're standing on the cusp of fascism taking hold in both the US and the UK, and I for one am not going to just roll over and build the tools to facilitate that. I just hope we've not gone to far down the road of centralising everything to pull back from the brink.

Honestly, living in China, this might just be more convenient. It's not like my newsfeed is a particularly great source of news, I mostly use FB to keep in touch with friends abroad.

Chinese revolutionaries already know how to circumvent these things on Chinese messaging platforms. They'll just come up with a new set of codewords.
It's even worse than this. Every panel of experts called to testify on this contains doctors from the treatment/prevention sector and that subgroup of doctors holds even harder on to this bias than a regular practitioner.
"Computational Fluid Dynamics" by Ferziger and Peric. I'm in an area related to hydrodynamics, and while I don't do CFD myself, this book was easy to read and covers a lot of the basics, I think.

My observation is very different - seen startups grown by ex-corporate people who found a solution to problem their employer could not fix.

Also many startups are targetting industries led by corporations (like manufacturing or buildings automation) where basically you must know ins and outs of tech and market - and only corporate folks (or ex corporate folks) have that since only corporations are serious players when it comes to this kind of business.
A lot of people don't need review apps.
My company is too damn small to have a Kubernetes/Openshift Cluster/Machines running just idling and waiting till a review app needs to spun up.

Also we are using staging pretty heavily and do version based deployments/installers, where it's really not necessary.
We actually release more often than Gitlab tough, one non bug fix version every two weeks.

For me review apps would've been the EE feature and time tracking the non EE one, especially since time tracking is also the one that many smaller companies might use.

I Also think that they should add a way to have -no-ff merges for CE (not all options but -no-ff would be helpful), but actually that's a EE only feature.

Well we switched from Stash/BitBucket to it and are still happy since we screwed JIRA also and it's way easier to maintain. I mean JIRA/Bitbucket still have no apt/rpm repository?!
Still wondering what happens if gitlab upgrades PostgreSQL, if that will happen automatically...
I usually hear about villages forming militias rather than hiring professional security. It would be interesting to read examples of primitive governments formed like that.
China's isolation is the responsibility of its government. Chinese citizens should expect their government to change to allow them access to foreign resources. They should not demand that foreign companies change for China, as China's rules are diametrically opposed to the essential values of other countries.
Introducing the Data Science Maturity Model
I'm not saying that S3 isn't complicated, or that the pricing model, even after the changes, isn't nuts.

I'm saying that anyone who thinks this is more complicated than it was does not understand just how crazy glacier pricing was before. Three static glacier pricing tiers is a lot better than the previously system which is so complex that earlier versions of the AWS pricing page just gave up and called it "free".

(Briefly: The old Glacier model's pricing wasn't based around data transfer, but on your automatically retroactively provisioned data transfer capacity based on your peak data transfer rate, billed on a sliding scale as if you'd maintained that rate for the entire month. There's probably a less intuitive way to bill people for downloading data, but if so I've never seen it. It was a system seemingly designed to prevent users from knowing what any given retrieval would cost.)
Why not OSGi?
I don't think so. Censorship is about blocking truthful information by the government.

Banning a fake news post is moderation. And if someone would pay Facebook to block or promote some content it would be neither of those.
> Python 3 Is Not Turing Complete

This is very funny.
I see that this is a stupid rhetorical question, but I openly say that in many cases it might be a better decision to rather fire the programmers that are not willing to learn new things on the own, even if they are the majority. I openly prefer to work (and do business) with few highly intelligent individuals who always learn new skills on their own than with many people with opposite properties, since I believe this qualitative (in opposite to quantitative) enhancement also reflects in financial gain (thus business advantage).
I'm so tired of businesses expressing a political perspective. I just want them to be a business, nothing more. It doesn't even matter if I align with the political views expressed--I just don't want business + politics. I let the CEO or PayPal know that I'm disappointed in the politicization of PayPal, and I'm going to start avoiding doing businesses with companies which are politically outspoken. I support the right of the CEO to express his personal opinion, but not to imbue the corporate entity with that opinion.

I suppose this was the inevitable byproduct of Citizens United.
Why I stopped using npm?
This is exactly what I was thinking! The points that were written is just as what I had in mind. But I guess still your missing one important point on testing. The code should work if deployed, but at the same time, we need to have through testing for the same.

I always start with reading test cases rather than source code directly. Thats the way it should be (IMHO).
In the video, Ron Rivest specifically addresses how to allow both an anonymous vote with (some) mutually exclusive end-to-end verification.

I completely agree that electronic voting is currently a terrible idea. The other talk I linked to by Andrew Appel strongly encourages using only paper votes and statistically verifying them by manually recounting a random sample of voting locations.

However, I'm willing to listen to Ron (the "R" in "RSA") Rivest's ideas about using encryption in voting. I think the idea needs more work, but it's interesting approach that does attempt to address both anonymity and verifiability.
