Absolutely. Right now, Gomix is not very accessible (in terms of editing code, not mental model), but that's definitely an area we'd like to improve in. And more broadly, making the creation of tech accessible to a far larger audience is fundamental to Gomix's mission, and to Fog Creek overall. We're committed to getting it right.

"On September 20, 2013, NASA abandoned further attempts to contact the craft.[76] According to A'Hearn,[77] the most probable reason of software malfunction was a Y2K-like problem (at August 11, 2013, 00:38:49, it was pow(2,32) of one-tenth seconds from January 1, 2000)"

The 56K modems of 20 years ago were near the theoretical limit of bandwidth on a conventional phone line. They required the far end (the ISP) to have a digital connection to the telco; i.e. you can't have 2 56K modems call each other and connect at 56k.

Depending on the telco setup; your analog telephone call is encoded into 64k digital, and some signaling schemes used one of the 8 bits for signaling, leaving only 56K for digitizing the audio.

For analog-to-analog calls the best rate was 33.6K.

I know others have recommended this already, but I would also say that your best bet is to buy some Ubiquiti hardware. An EdgeRouter X + UniFI Pro dual-band AP is on the order of $200 from Amazon and has way, way better functionality than SOHO hardware of same price point, with the principal issue that it is enterprise hardware, and is very much not point-and-click to set up. I think the tradeoff in functionality and build quality is worth it, though.

I recently replaced my PC router running pfSense with an EdgeRouter X - at ~$50 the power savings alone will probably pay for it in less than a year, and the only thing I can't do with it that I could do with pfSense is create a standalone OpenVPN endpoint - so I'm moving that functionality to a server that was running anyway.
The literacy idea is a good one. I was mystified by the description of the tasks being basically an IQ test or cognition test or math and logic test tangentially involving a computer as a topic and shockingly the result of predictable IQ test results being that computer user interfaces suck, which is pretty hilarious.

"I failed my standardized tests math section because the user interface of a #2 graphite pencil is poor." No, its because you're not good at math, the problem isn't the pencil. Half the population has to be below the median, after all, and we design civilization to make sure evolution doesn't cull anyone, so ...

I am kinda old and I can assure you that plenty of people were completely incompetent at using a physical card catalog (kind of like a printed out google search form, where an old fashioned library used to kinda be a printed out internet, back before libraries became internet cafes without coffee and also turned into daycares). Inability to search for things intelligently is not a recent invention of computation, any more than the inability to write essays is a result of word processing software or century old typewriter or the ballpoint pen.

Its truism thru history that as soon as the first tool was invented, some dude without enough mental horsepower to use it immediately started attacking the tool as being poorly designed. Fire, wheels, carpentry tools, farm machinery, computers, same old story. Some folks can't think, and giving them a tool then asking them to perform a thoughtful task is doomed to fail and result in the tool catching most of the blame. Why if only wheels were better designed to be round in all three dimensions instead of just two then that pesky problem of axle placement wouldn't be so stressful for end users, etc etc.

The fact of the matter is the median human is barely at a level of boolean algebra basics and arithmetic and following instructions on a packaged cake mix box. Giving someone innumerate a calculator doesn't mean they can now launch the space shuttle, any more than giving someone an anvil means they can shoe horses or handing me a basketball means I automatically have a career in the NBA.

It might be useful to fit an exponential for each years code. The oldest code seems to decay to some constant and then linger forever at some LOC - it does not decay to zero LOC. It may be that new code is inherently inefficient and over time is gets cleaned up. Also some functionality may be abstracted and built into new code and removed from the old. Over time you end up with a chunk of code doing its one thing and doing it well. This is all speculation of course. I hope this gets looked at a lot more.
On a related thought, using a 'secure' (or so they say ?) email provider à là protonmail is just secure if you send your email to another protonmail user.

Problem with services like that is they omit to tell their users that email is not E2E, and sending from protonmail to gmail will just disable the benefits of using protonmail.

So yes, if you are trying to send encrypted email to a GMAIL user, your only way is to use GPG. Or to get them onboard of protonmail and the likes. It's... impossible.

Sure, having competing standards isn't always a good thing but we're not talking about a standard here. It's a new router firmware distribution and I think having more of them is a good thing as it gives people more choice.

The major problem that I do see here is that LEDE has been forked from OpenWRT, but has nowhere near the level of device support that OpenWRT has. I have a TP-Link WDR4300 which I bought specifically because it was one of the routers which are highly compatible with OpenWRT. However, LEDE doesn't list this router amongst its supported devices (though there are newer WDRXXXX devices listed).
I think a early education service for toddlers that has play, projects, STEM etc all built in. Everyone wants the best for their kids and this is one thing many people spend big on. The local Montessori wants $2k a month for full time 5 days a week, but I think there are other opportunities that could be realized with some technical input.
No surprise here.

As someone who created a small business in France then did the same in the UK, I wholeheartedly agree.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot entrepreneurs can do, it's up to the authorities to be brave and reform the infamous "Greffe du Tribunal de Commerce". Simply changing your registered address required, last I checked : filling out a 10 page or so form, amended company formation documents, mandatory publishing of an expensive ad informing of the change in one of the government-sanctioned newspapers, and writing out a cheque (!) for 47.52€ or something.

This is insane. Emmanuel Macron, as an economy minister tried to dismantle this whole craziness but faced strong lobbying. Here's hoping he's more successful as a presidential candidate.
A chauffeur.

I currently pay the equivalent of $650/mo to park my car, catch a train, then a subway to get to my office. But the trains are frequently standing room only, delayed, and noisy.

My alternative is to pay around $300/mo to park my car, take a coach, then a subway. The coach is more pleasant (seating! WiFi! Power sockets!) but takes longer due to the various stops around town.

In both cases, the services are infrequent.

When I've worked in India or ZA, it's quite common to have a chauffeur. But that only works with the massive disparity in wages. That's less likely in the industrialised world.

I could rideshare - but that's fraught with risk. I could take a taxi, but that would quadruple my cost.

So, if you can find a way to make autonomous cars work in the UK - and can charge a per-journey fare - let me know!

It's not the worst model. It's still significantly better than what Google/Microsoft/Yahoo are offering.

And at least it's a model that can scale. When we'll get 10% of the email users to use (real) PGP, then we can talk about about switching everything else to it, too.

But I assume that's never going to happen. The only way PGP would reach those numbers is if Google actually finishes the End-to-End tool, and not only that, but then it actually makes it part of the Chrome browser and automatically asks all Gmail users at sign-in if they want to set-up End-to-End, too. That's the only way I can see PGP reach 10% of the email market. But even then I assume you'd argue it's still "browser-based" encryption. So I guess it's pointless.

Much harder than it sounds if you care about live streaming, video playlists, and cross-browser support. Don't forget to mention the 3 big subtitles formats (608/708/VTT) and some smaller ones (SRT/DFXP).

Also, here's a fun quirk of the subtitles track element: you cannot remove a track once added.

Private key required in the browser is bad. However if we had a system where those people that want or care can key their keys offline (or on a Smartcard) while those that don't want.

Protonmail with SRP and 2FA where a attack has to pretty tricky stuff but you still get a e2e system is far better then what we have now. Its a far more involved attack to just look at your old emails, and its easier to detect.

We will never have a useable experience for all user if we do not accept compromises. I would prefer if everybody of my family was on some system like that, compared to gmx or yahoo.

There is a lot more you can do to protect the client from the server as well. Keybase is doing some interesting stuff in that direction.

We just have the change our assumption of what it means if a email arrives encrypted with GPG.

GPG is already not perfect and we should move away from it anyway, again, Keybase is offering some interesting steps in the right direction.

Steps on a long road.

Wow pretty crazy that's it's fully unanimous
There are a bunch of studies showing that you get weird market distortions at regulatory "cliffs". The classic example is that a company with 49 workers might see marginal profit from a 50th worker, but would suddenly hit the health insurance cutoff. Since insuring all 50 workers is expensive, the value of hiring one more person is massively negative.

...does this happen with B2B software pricing? Jira probably isn't expensive enough, but are there lots of companies doing elaborate limbo to keep their user count for a service just under a pricing threshold?
Don't limit your imagination to a mirror.

The OP wanted to build and learn. Might be kid's stuff or pointless to you. He shipped his version 1.0. That's more than most.
Absolutely. I actually built a reusable infrastructure of my own. It was technically very cool to work on, and at the time I still hadn't yet made the mental shift of buying services that weren't my core domain. The infrastructure revolves around keys and licenses. A license allows one user (or machine) to use the product. It's a digitally signed file that gets downloaded to the client PC and specifies the product, max version, issue/expiry date etc... A license is created by my server when a valid key is entered into the licensing dialog. The key knows what product is for and what kind of licenses to create. I named the service "Keystodian", the website is up but isn't pretty. The infrastructure underneath works nicely, though. I plan to offer it as a SaaS product at some point, though there is a bit of competition there.

But nowadays, everything Just Works, modulo the occasional kernel/driver version bump that needs a reboot, and the irritations of running systemdless.

Yes, but we usually run MacOS on Apple hardware and we get Windows on the PC we buy, with drivers tested by the manufacturer, so we can trust the hw/os combination. Instead I always researched how Linux would run on my computers. No major problems but some little issues that a manufacturer would have fixed before going to the market.

We have to check MacOS and Windows compatibility only if we do strange things, like hackintoshes or installing Windows from scratch on a different generation computer. I must admit that installing desktop Linux is always a strange thing, because very few manufacturers care of testing any distro on their hw. Quite the opposite for server Linux.
