On top of that, calling them category defining and comparing them to the iPhone is kind of crazy since they are niche products so far. Nobody I know has an Echo. The few people I know that have Chromecasts bought them only because it was a cheap way to wirelessly stream video from their computer to a TV for presentations. They didn't buy it as a substitute for a Roku or Apple TV.

I share the author's concerns about Apple's devices since about 2012 being underwhelming but I don't agree with their conclusion that Google and Amazon are filling the void. The distressing part for me is that as far as work computers go nobody is.
Bingo. Also, let's not forget that Apple has a history of not releasing the first of something, but waiting until the market is there, and then releasing a much more user friendly product that redefines the market and grows it. They're not a tech first company so much as a UX first company.
Maybe

Do you know of a good way to find projects for this and learn to navigate their structure? I tried doing this when I was at MIT, but found that unless I already had the problem it was trying to solve in my head (as in, "I've spent a bunch of time trying to design an approach to this. Let's see how Flask does it") It was hard to follow.
Something that is isn't really discussed is that the need for base64 arose so that binary data could transit 7-bit email systems.

Base122 does not have that property - as far as I could tell.

Whilst we are all, basically, living in an 8-bit world; I suspect it will be sometime before people feel comfortable assuming that an 8-bit transport is viable over email.

Of course. When I find people who are truthful enough to be able to pursue the line of questions that could lead them to having to abandon their existing knowledge, I can guide them to see the world by making their questions concrete enough, and then helping them to confirm them. But those people are the exception. When you observe me doing this on the internet, most people can't understand what I say, much less have the spirit to confirm it. In nature, it's much easier to fall down a mountain than it is to climb up it. In philosophy and psychology, people who have falsehood in their consciousness plus a weak will feel sick and overburdened when they hear the explanations and processes which make them open their eyes to the reality. When you want to confirm something specific, let me know. Then I can give you a specific answer.
You too??

Literally nothing. Reddit is a cesspool and especially when it comes to technical topics it is absolutely abysmal. Most of the people spouting off opinions about technical topics on Reddit are totally unqualified to do so. People who work as cashiers at Taco Bell writing diatribes about Ruby vs PHP, etc.
The author says Apple's leaving a void because Google and Amazon are inventing new product categories instead of Apple, but Apple's successes haven't been new inventions. The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player, the iPhone wasn't the first smartphone, the iPad wasn't the first tablet, and the MacBook wasn't the first laptop. What Apple does well is waiting to add enough incremental upgrades to products until it surpasses the "amazing" threshold. This ends up looking like Apple is either late to market (Apple TV) or so incredibly successful that it appears as if the market didn't even exist before Apple entered it (iPhone/iPad).

Based on Apple's history, we should really be expecting them to crush the Echo and Chromecast sometime in the next few years.
Are there plans for providing an API for creating mailboxes/domains? We previously used Mailgun for mailboxes (back when they still provided them) and ever since they discontinued mailbox support we've been looking for a solid mailbox provider that can handle any number of domains, mailboxes and aliases.
On the other hand, it often seems like news coverage is biased in the direction of a horse race. As in, the media is incentivized to make it seem like a close race with a lot of action, because that is engaging.

I think for a Hollywood movie, The Big Short has a lot of great tidbits of information and lessons in the housing market, especially if you're in North America. Worth watching when you're unwinding from all that learning. :)
As I understand it, in the US at least this is indeed the line. Same goes for combination vs keyed locks: you can't be forced to self-incriminate by sharing information, but you can be held in contempt for withholding evidence.

I imagine it gets murky around things like SSH keys, which are technically a kind of password, but too big for a human to remember - and therefore must be "instantiated" in a physical device somewhere.

5 marketing trends to watch for in 2017
I agree with your use of 'downvoting' to remove content personally but less so the correlation to 'upvoting'.

Just because there's an up button and a down button close together, and clearly the intent that they are correlated, doesn't mean that the usage in practice is the same.

A vote up means that the post is on topic, and relevant of showing to others preferentially in the eyes of the voter.

A vote down is often used on topics that the voter simply /disagrees/ with, irrespective of relevance to the topic.

Therefore I would propose that 'mixed votes' indicate a contentious, but likely on topic, point of discussion for further discourse and refinement.

There should clearly be a threshold (a large number of votes, with a vast majority of them negative) for indicating actually harmful content.
Not only did the location of the capital lead to greater integration and national unity, but the circumstances of its selection did quite a bit too.

The Residence Act, which set D.C. as the nation's capital, was passed by the first Congress to gain Southern support for Alexander Hamilton's economic plan, which involved the assumption of state debts by the federal government. As Southern states tended to have less debt (and fewer resources to pay debts than Northern states), their support was bought with the Residence Act. This Funding Act laid the groundwork for much of our financial system today, and it was the first major expansion of federal power beyond the enumerated Constitutional powers, paving the way for events like the founding of the First Bank.

I've been looking for a personal email provider to migrate away from Gmail to. I was assuming Fastmail, because i've heard many good things about them.

Can anyone more "in the know" compare this product to Fastmail for a simple personal email solution?

Note i don't care about most features, including custom domains. In fact, i'm not even sure i'll use a custom domain since that just increases the attack vector to my email. I just primarily want simple, reliable, and secure email.

Thats why you use something like TrueCrypt to provide plausible deniability.

You have 1 partition/password with the stuff you actually want to hide, and you have a second password/partition that just contains your porn collection.

"Yes officer, I just use encryption to hide this stuff. Nothing illegal here. It is just embarrassing. Thats why I hide it."

Thats really good plausible deniability.
Perhaps they're considering allowing third parties to produce Macintosh compatibles, and macOS would be sold thru OEMs like MS-Windows?
I think that pretty much every major corporation that exists today has become complacent/negligent like this to some extent.

I have a theory:

As corporations become monopolies (or become part of stable oligopolies); management becomes complacent and loses its focus on raw competence; they start to promote employees based on social connections (and popularity with peers) instead of skill - So then, actually competent employees become disillusioned with management, lose faith in the system and they get lazy.

I think the workplace has become too social. Managers these days are terrible. I've worked with/for many managers as a contractor (maybe 10 in total) and out of all of them, I think there was only maybe 1 or 2 who were actually competent.

I think if companies just promoted based on age, they'd do a better job overall. It's depressing to see brilliant, experienced people in their late 30s still working as low-ranking employees (under the direction of some inexperienced 20-something).

Some big companies are indistinguishable from communism - People there are lazy because they know that good work doesn't get rewarded; it's the customers who end up paying through lost quality of goods and services.

RSS is alt-right of India even if you think it isn't. Anyone who claims otherwise simply because INC or TDP jokers did something wrong elsewhere is either stupid or simply insane. RSS is and always will be an alt-right outfit even if every other political party like INC/TDP/BJP cease to exist.

I had the same issue for the longest time and the only advice I can give is to keep trying. One thing that I noticed helped a lot is to pick a random popular github project (popularity does correlate with code quality to some extent) and try to make a simple change in 30 minutes (or some limited amount of time). You might fail the first couple of times but keep trying.
I think that rich countries are having their social benefits priced into houses.

Where I am (Canada), house prices in some major metro areas fairly closely follow what school district you are in. So we have "high quality public education" which you then pay for in mortgage interest and principal instead of tuition. This (mostly) still results in people getting what they pay for, but it also leads to strange distortions.

The more the world becomes globalized, the more people will start pricing the social benefits of a location into the cost of living, simply by going there and driving up demand.

Eventually a given government social program dependent will be commoditized to the extent that you can work in a high cost of living centre but with the exact same quality of life as you would in the equivalent low cost of living centre. Just with less zeros on your income and bills.

The video makes a great point about how people want a net benefit to the curb appeal of a given area, but it is also an issue of pricing things into housing that used to be priced into the products themselves.
It's not an either/or proposition. We can become more sustainable and take care of earth better, while shooting for the stars and increasing our scientific knowledge.
I don't think the fact that developers make hundreds of thousands of dollars means they have to put in more work.

They are being paid to create a certain amount of value, and capture what is generally a small fraction of it.

How does your logic scale? If a dev making $200k per annum has to put in 10 hours a day, does an executive making $600k per annum have to put in 30 hours per day?
I think that creativity is essentially an emotional process hence its tie to what you call being "obsessed". There are two cognitive errors that are inhibiting your creativity.

The first is if, in general, you repress your emotions, i.e. feel them yet stifle them instead of allowing yourself to feel them, then you are unavoidably also stifling your creativity. Many people are afraid to express their emotions especially the negative ones like hate, fear, anger, etc. out of fear of social disapproval or in the mistaken belief that rationality means to be unemotional, like Spock. The problem is that the good emotions like love, joy, happiness, desire, etc. get repressed in the cross-fire as repression indiscriminately chops off your highs and lows.

The second cause is being uncertain about what you believe is true and right and thus self-doubt that you will be worthy of or able to even achieve success. In any serious endeavor you are going to run into resistance from naysayers and other barriers to your goal. More importantly, such goals are inherently selfish and there is 2000 years of anti-selfish propaganda floating around the culture. One common adage to counter the self-doubt is to "fake it till you make it" which many rational people dismiss as obvious non-sense. However, that adage is not meant as advice to be dishonest or a "faker" but to take action regardless of your self-doubt or fears, because in the end you will develop the skills, ability, mental toughness to achieve and enjoy the ends you seek.

The goal is not to fear and repress your emotions nor to go through life without strong convictions (what you believe is true and right) but to understand both and change them if necessary. The good news is that there is an Rx for both of these cognitive errors which is to write a daily journal to examine and revise your conscious convictions and your subconscious emotions. Moreover, to counter the onslaught of anti-selfishness in the culture and lay down a path to being integrated in mind/body and thought/action you should read Ayn Rand's "The Virtue of Selfishness" and "Philosophy:Who Needs It".
The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connexions everywhere.
Exactly. Also, In 500 years, it may be possible/economical to sterilize large bodies before sending them to outer space.

>While BIA has not yet evaluated the performance of their children in Uganda, in Kenya BIA found that is students "outperform their peers in public schools in basic literacy and reading."

I have a hard time believing that the quality of education and sanitation is really worse in these schools than in the state run schools.

Looks to me like the story here is Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg try to start up schools for Ugandan Children and other NGOs, wary of competition, lobby the government to shut them down.

The idea of a more open version of Facebook Instant Articles is great, it's the implementation that bothers me.

The way the law works here in the USA is that anything that requires you to disclose the contents of your mind (a passphrase, an explanation of where you were, your name) cannot be compelled because the fifth amendment precludes the use of that information to convict you.

Things that you ARE (such as fingerprints, DNA, hair color, photo, sample) can be compelled by a court order (e.g. a warrant) because they aren't the contents of your mind but physical aspects of your existence.

That's why the use of a strong passphrase that isn't tied to a biometric is important if you're worried about this sort of thing.
>We lose good functionality for no good reason, other than products become "simpler" and "more pure".

You can disagree with the reasons, and certainly many do, but it's just silliness to allege that moving to USB-C was done for "no good reason".

It's the exact same silliness that surfaced in the griping about removing 9-pin serial ports, and optical drives, and Ethernet ports in laptops, and FireWire in favor of something more than an order of magnitude faster, and every other innovation by Apple.

It's always for a good reason.
I have one and the answer is no.

I had no idea this was actually a thing before this morning :(

It seems to only happen when there is graphics stress -- using "semaphores=1 i915_enable_rc6=7 i915_enable_fbc=1" seems to help, and once I started playing videos with --hwdec it was quieter also..

As it only happens during video, and I usually have headphones or the speakers going at those times I'm not too bugged by it yet..

Doing a kernel compile or something noisy in a term doesn't seem to trigger it..

`powertop --auto-tune` will turn all power-related settings to their most conservative settings. You can adjust them individually by running `powertop` interactively afterwards.

Good question.

The problem I'm talking about originates in the gravity field of Earth. Human activities have formed an obstruction in its circulation which according to models can lead, rather quickly, to a big explosion of energy from the core. But it's pretty tough to find people who I can converse properly with about gravity because even the majority of specialists today lack (a) the basic knowledge about how gravity is generated, how it maintains itself, and what circumstance would cause an already-formed gravity field to lose itself, and (b) the basic willingness to question the knowledge they piled up in their heads.

Whenever/wherever science and technology develop, humans will tend to use it for bad results because it's easier, more comfortable, and more convenient for people to be ignorant. Combine that with the fact that any habitable planet's ecosystem is homeostatic and you get the result that humans destroying their environment is pre-determined to occur. I can't speak to what would happen if humans were actually able to make it off Earth but I could say that I have a much stronger case to show that humans destroying their environment has happened before multiple times in the past than the argument to show that humans just developed agriculture within the last 10,000 years. However, that's somewhat besides the point. The only real answer to your question is that humans are going to do it again no matter what planet they're on, it's just that we are very much out of time on Earth right now. If we are for some reason actually able to establish other self-sufficient colonies then the only way they can maintain their stability is for a majority consensus of individuals in the society to be correctly taught, correctly understand, and accept the fundamental principle of what kind of causes in what problems lead to what kind of effect so that the society doesn't lose justice. But it's sort of an idealist situation because we can barely do that kind of thing in small groups.
