Well, theories of market failures belong to the rare species of economic theories that actually are falsifiable and thus scientific in popperian sense, so one could argue that answer to your question is, at that point when someone thought that it actually is good to add a piece of science into economics.
Taking it the extreme, one needs Reply All's "Yes, Yes, No" segment (where the podcast hosts try to break down inside-joke tweets) in order to understand what I'd assume is the cleverest content.

News search & discovery is all I use the service for and I'd like to see Twitter focus on that. Also, the narrow, single-file, non-pagnated way of scrolling & searching is not appealing at all to me. I'd prefer a more horizontal and populated set of tweets with a simple X in the corner of each one in order to teach Twitter what content I'm interested in (think: Youtube's home page while signed in). The way the site looks is obviously in tune with the 140 char limit but I've never much liked that either. In short, I'm not an ideal user.
Unless your branch of libertarianism also gets rid of contracts, there are many scenarios where contracts between parties can and will affect you, and without the ability to petition the government for redress, you are screwed. Private parties are generally motivated by their own private interest -- we have democratic government at different levels to represent the interests of the people.

This kind of stuff happens every day between property owners. That's why we have things like zoning, permitting and environmental regulation. Nobody wants government intervention until their neighbor puts up a big ugly fence.

In my personal experience, I've been in disputes with government bureaucracy, and was able to get a reasonable resolution because we have elected representatives who care about constituent issues. I've also been party to disputes with large corporate bureaucracies, and your ability to push the needle as an individual is very limited.

If characterizing me as dishonest makes you feel good, go for it. But I'd return the favor by saying that like most libertarians, your position reflects an immature, self-centered and unsophisticated understanding of the world and how it works. I encourage you to take a few hours and study the history of how the negative outcomes of industrialization in 19th century America re-shaped societies thinking about regulation and property rights.
There is no powerline connection, the router is in another building.
For better or worse technologists have largely decided that backwards compatibility trumps all unless absolutely necessary. This means ELS for security patches, only non-breaking changes to the web (which is how we ended up with 'use strict' in Javascript), and even if it is "more secure" if it could break some portion of people's websites it must not be done by default, but must be opted into.

I don't personally agree with the decisions - but I can understand why they are made. It's easier to say I'd personally choose to give devs the finger and tell them to fix their code than to actually give devs the finger and tell them to fix/update their code.
That makes a lot more sense, thanks.
What Lame Duck? Obama Isn’t Backing Down on These Tech Policies
If the origin is an S3 static website, the link is unencrypted but should run over Amazon's own network. Since Amazon has your S3 and CloudFront data anyway, assuming all CF endpoints are under Amazon's control, you don't lose much by having the S3 origin load over http.
Turtle is a lot more popular than N3:

https://www.w3.org/TeamSubmission/turtle/

Turtle is a subset of N3. N3 has some syntactic sugar plus also some syntax to describe first-order logic statements that include implication and the use of existential and universal qualifiers.

Tim-Berners Lee started work on this software:

http://infomesh.net/2001/cwm/

which implements reasoning on N3, but it is not particularly performant for a number of reasons -- one is that it does not implement any description logic optimizations, another is that it is written in Python, another is that it doesn't have a particularly sophisticated rules engine.

The closest thing to a standard in this area is ISO Common Logic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Logic

which is based on KIF but uses RDF for the basic data structures, i.e. you can load RDF data and work on it with Common Logic.

There are plenty of people who use logical reasoning over RDF data but usually they use something specific to their tools, such as the Jena Rules Engine, or some kind of Prolog -- it also is not that hard to stuff RDF data into a SAT solver, theorem prover or similar tools.

It's a conspicuous absense that there is no common standard for production rules.
There's always the Python way:

Let the ecosystem provide, then, once there's a few clean winners, pick one as the official (while keeping the others there, obviously).

Not that applicable.

Rust memory model around strong ownership and borrow-checking differs from the GC languages that can use generational strategies and lots of heap allocation re-use.

All languages are doing allocations to the OS, rust just doesn't have a GC like PHP does to intermediate.

> 2. Keynesian economics (presumably what you referring to) has nothing to do with restricting free trade, but deals with the boom-bust cycle and how a government can manage it.

Yeah, I'm now reading Benjamin Constant (I've read guys like Jean-Baptiste Say and Jeremy Bentham before) and there was is close to no mention in their works about the government having the intrinsic need to "manage" anything.

Which brings me to my second question: who has empowered the Government to actively manage economic cycles? And assuming it has acquired these powers all by itself, based on which premises/presumptions does it accomplish its economics-related actions?

It's funny reading Constant and how he warns about the perils of moral hazard associated to the active involvement of Government in the economy. 200 years have passed and we still make the same mistakes.
On your second point, I would find that super helpful.

Mainly due to data structures that may share > 10% of the data design but is very different and me not wanting to retype.
Looks really nice!

Searching is a tad slow but I have seen slower. Maybe implementing ElasticSearch might be a nice idea. Would also result in better search results.
People have different requirements, there is not a single framework that would make everybody happy. The issue isn't the the number of frameworks by the way but the complexity of the build tools in the context of Nodejs. Grunt,Gulp,Babel transpilers and co, they are not frameworks, they merely transform assets, yet they make JS development extremely complex and bureaucratic.

> Basically what I am saying is deniers have no personal experience with aloe plant and yet it is a very simple thing to test.

You don't need to live in the tropics to have a sunburn. I have had sunburn. My grandmother used to grow aloe. It's not magic and I'm not convinced it's at all better than other treatments for sunburn.

> someone like me with over 30 years of personal sun care experience is called anecdotal evidence

It is anecdotal evidence.

> The very reason you have found evidence of aloe being dangerous is because as I said it binds to heavy metal toxins...not just in the human body but in the earth.

Again, provide evidence of this. You're making baseless claims. The idea that aloe is healthy to consume and simultaneously unhealthy to consume because it absorbs heavy metals from the soil is fundamentally unsound.

Moreover, if aloe binds heavy metals in the body, then consumption of aloe would not release heavy metals into the body. Your health claim is based on the premise that it will bind to heavy metals but your reasoning for why aloe can be unsafe is that it will release metals rather than bind to them in the body. These are contradictory claims.

> The present investigation shows that the A. Vera plant is effective and inexpensive adsorbent for the removal of Pb, Cd, Ni, Cu, Cr (III) and Cr (VI) from contaminated soil by heavy metals.

In no way does evidence that aloe leaches metals from soil constitute evidence that aloe will bind to heavy metals in a human body. Wheat will pull nitrogen from the soil, but doesn't pull nitrogen from a human consumer.

Idle customer support manifesto
Fuel cells are low efficiency (<60%) and expensive so they are a poor fit for grid energy storage. One option is to just burn hydrogen in traditional gas turbines which can also have 60% efficiency ed: (62.22%), but are much cheaper to build.

PS: This also simplifies the problem to: Can you make and store hydrogen for a lower cost than natural gas.
I've been a happy customer of Register4Less.com for years, and they throw in free static hosting with every domain name. It does everything you mention except PHP and Markdown. (But you could do Markdown yourself with a static site generator!) They also provide free WHOIS privacy, which is nice.

An extra $1.45/month gets you PHP and CGI hosting, plus raised quotas.

My only caveats: The free hosting tier only gets you 10MB of space per domain (no bandwidth quotas, though!) Which has been plenty for me for everything except large photo galleries, but YMMV. Also, I've had terrible experience with their domain backordering service--the domain I backordered was quietly released and became publicly available without a peep from R4L.

Their actual domain hosting, website hosting, and technical support has been stellar, though. (Websites are actually hosted on a shared server somewhere at OVH, if Ican trust the reverse DNS info.)
This is probably a better option than storing compressed data in S3 with a hard-coded Content-Encoding header, as it seems some web clients (like the Facebook app) display the raw gzip data.
IMO JSX is such a simple syntactic sugar around javascript that you can unfold it in your head.

> <element someProp={prop} /> = React.createElement('elment', {someProp: prop}, null)

Its such a simple transformation and adheres to javascript standard behavior. JSX doesn't add anything new, it just adds a way to do something old.

Its a shortcut to 1 transformation and thats it. You can unpack it in your head.

So while I agree with you that it isn't "standard javascript", if you look past the visual differences, there is no difference between JSX and javascript.

This is in stark contrast to the Vue.js (and other) template systems which, while they compile to javascript, the amount of transformations makes it impossible to extend the template system easily without touching the internals of the template engine.

JSX is just syntax, other template systems are entire secondary languages.
Yup. It's fine for most simple sites that don't receive much traffic due to almost nonexistent costs. But I personally don't recommend it when there are many alternatives out there these days. Partly SSL is no SSL imo.

Here is an raytracer written in XQuery: https://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2011/QT3-test-suite/app/Demos/rayt... (imported modules are in the directory above) looks quite maintainable to me.

XQuery is pretty much XPath-with-functions, and XPath 3 has anonymous functions, so you can directly translate it to XPath 3 by replacing `declare function foo(..` with `let $foo := function(...`

Once it is XPath, you can put everything in a xsl:value-of tag.
Reddit Gold is pretty much this, it does grant a handful of convenient features, but is primarily a way of supporting the site and recognizing particularly good posts.

I don't know how successful it is from a financial perspective, but it seems like a model that could be applied to almost any community/discussion oriented sites.
Some companies use Forcepoint's TLS inspection to monitor all outbound TLS/SSL traffic. I suspect client certs break that. Probably that's a good thing, but if your customers work inside a company using Forcepoint, well, those won't be your customers from 9AM - 5PM their time.

"When you enable SSL decryption for your endusers, SSL-encrypted traffic is decrypted, inspected, and then re-encrypted before it is sent to its destination."

In Denmark students have since 1970 and actually dating back to the 50's had the right to SU (Statens Uddannelsesstøtte = government support programmes) in form of government grants and government subsidized loans for any students studying on a government approved list of mostly government subsidized secondary and higher education. Hope that triggers some anti-big gov't folks over there.

Economics started out being called "political economy", and regulation of commercial exchange goes back to the Romans. Regulation of coinage and weights and measures is a statutory feature of any society which has such things. There is no libertarian Avalon from which we have been expelled.

(I like how they've quoted https://twitter.com/dsquareddigest - he's an excellent person to follow for common-sense politics/economics with minor snark. And he's right that “‘it just isn’t done’ is basically the central organising constitutional principle of the UK.”)
Have you ever tried to inpelement a modified d'hont method manually? There are always computers involved. Counting hundreds thousands of votes manually will always yield an error that can be exploited. Voting as a concept has changed beyond what mr. Halderman is willing to admit. Let's say you have widespread electronic id and electronic voting. In isolation, this sounds mad. In conjunction with physical voting and common use of eid, not so much.
No that's not the correct way to do agile project management. As I have repeatedly pointed out, you can prevent most upstream / downstream iteration delays by organizing the project around feature teams, not component teams. But if you persist in using component teams for some reason then obviously both the producer and consumer teams must build in sufficient time into their story point estimates for iterating on the interface. As for defects that come up mid-sprint, either every team should keep a percentage of their capacity in reserve, or on larger projects you should dedicate a full Kanban team to maintenance.

Sure there are some managers out there who implement agile incorrectly by failing to follow best practices. But all of the problems you described are self-inflicted and easily avoided on agile projects with competent leadership.
No need to apologize ... I just thought you'd want to know.
If I may ask a simple question which reveals my ignorance about AWS and anything too technical, but what is the actual CMS being used for a website hosted on Amazon? Take a simple website with text and images that you want to update via an easy to use CMS, what is the AWS service that is the CMS seen by a user looking after the website? Does one exist or is it a matter of needing to make such a CMS?

Edit: thanks for the replies. I had a feeling AWS was more a "parts" bin rather than anything approaching a ready-to-go hosting + CMS, but thought I'd check.
>> CART showed slightly better results for this task but its main advantage is that it gives you a decision tree that is easy to understand, explain and implement vs SVM or Random Forests that work like a black box and require using heavy ML libraries in production.

I don't get that. Random Forests are ensembles of decision trees and can be used for regression. I've not used the R CART library, so I might be missing something, but the interpretability of Random Forests should be the same as that of, well, any other model built by a decision-tree learner (i.e. just as unreadable as any other classifier's model, once their parameters become sufficiently many).
The reason such bills get proposed and passed is because, broadly speaking, they are popular with the electorate or at least not unpopular.

The reason they are not unpopular, the root problem, is because the downsides are perceived as theoretical and in the future whereas the upsides are seen as real and in the present. Put simply the arguments against look like this:

Oppose this bill because the government COULD abuse it and PROBABLY will abuse it in future

i.e. it's all vague arguments about probabilities, and the arguments for it look like this:

Support this bill because it WILL help the fight against terrorists and paedos right now

For better or worse the British government has a relatively high level of trust amongst the British people. There is no British constitution and we can now see how a minority of the population is trying to convince Parliament to override the results of an actual referendum on the grounds that people are too stupid to rule themselves, so must be dictated to by small enclaves of their betters. That attitude is widespread, even if it is kind of dumb - MPs are just ordinary people too, after all, it's not like there's any filter on them beyond voting. But given that the governmental "elite" imposing its own morality and wisdom on the majority is practically a sexual turn-on for non-trivial numbers of voters, this kind of thing shouldn't surprise us.

We can and probably should argue that this trust is misplaced. There's plenty of evidence of that, along with the fact that surveillance is invariably paired with secrecy so it's hard for people to judge whether the government can be trusted to begin with. But that's why such bills happen.

The solution is probably not VPNs. Ultimately in a fight between internet technologists and lawmakers, sufficiently determined lawmakers will always win: China proves this. The UK's lawmakers may not be sufficiently determined but if they are the only solution is to continue making the argument to the electorate that the government cannot be trusted with such powers, and that they won't help fight terrorists and paedos anyway.

Pointing out that Trump now controls the NSA might be a good start.

Interestingly, we open sourced Pipelines[1] a week ago.

We felt a lot of the automation platforms out there are still very focused on a narrow "clone from GitHub/BitBucket → build → test → deploy" use case.

The only alternatives we had for more complicated scenarios were things like Jenkins. I'm not a fan. With Pipelines, you get up and running in 2 minutes with:

pip install pipelines

We use Ansible, Docker and a few other tools that just need to be easily run and orchestrated. We also wanted to have logs and letting colleagues easily trigger things from Slack/Web UI.

We're adding a few plugin (Docker, scheduler, LDAP, GitHub login, SMS...) for some of our needs. Would be interesting to see how this works for other people.
