>> Wonder how fast people's ambivalence about net neutrality would shift then.

This is the crux of the argument.

If you feel government can dutifully manage the internet then you're generally for NN. If you feel the government is incapable of managing the internet, then you're against NN.

My arguments for being against it are simple:

- Not sure how people are all for privacy and encryption, but also want the government managing the internet. They've proven time and time again that if you give them a foot, they take a mile. There is a strange relationship I see to people who distrust the government but are readily willing to allow them to manage nearly every aspect of the internet.

- Also, I've already read a ton on here about monopolies and how they're bad. How is the government managing and controlling the internet NOT a monopoly? How is it once you hand them the keys to the kingdom that they get to pick the winners and losers a good thing? Again, the same people who were against no bid government contracts are the same people touting NN? It doesn't make sense to me.

- The government has shown repeatedly it is a poor manager. We don't need to look very far to see how government waste and mismanagement costs tax payers billions every year. Do I have to mention the ACA sites that cost north of $3B? The fraud in Medicaid and Medicare? The USPS and how they're effectively bankrupt right now? Hell, just the DOD alone costs us billions every year. If people wanted a more efficient system and competition that will lower their costs, I don't see how letting the government run it is a viable solution at all. The list of government entities that are poorly managed and run deep deficits is a mile long.

Lastly, if you've read the FCC's Open Internet order from 2015 you'd find it pretty gives the government carte blanche to micromanage nearly every aspect of the internet: https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-15-24A1_Rc...

The clickbait headline is amusing, but "Wall Street" has been doing this > 10 years. I'm genuinely not sure if they're trying to "beat wall street" or simply be yet another quantitative hedge fund that happens to use machine learning and neural networks to power their strategies.

Most real electronic trading firms are putting those algorithms in hardware.

There are interval arithmetic libraries for C++ that do that, and are fast in the common case where the error fits within floating point norms.

Not sure if the author has been to many of the developing countries he's talking about. While network coverage in the US becomes very unreliable (and often 2G or slow 3G) if you leave cities&interstates, the network in many Asian countries seems to be rather more reliable. Perhaps it's because there has never been a 2G network, they started with 3G/4G.

So far, Google Maps offline has helped me most on trips through the US.

To organise/track papers:

I’m currently using Mendeley[1]. Previously, I used Papers[2]. Unfortunately, the latest version of Papers (3.x) is terrible compared to how slick the old version (2.x) was. I’ve tried ReadCube[3], but somehow I find Mendeley easier to work with. I used EndNote[4] before I discovered Papers, and wouldn’t recommend it. I keep all my .pdf files in Dropbox.

Discussions/recommendations for papers:

In-person, well run, reading groups still seem to work best. Although I’ve seen good discussions on /r/maths and /r/physics on Reddit. ResearchGate[5] is useful for finding recent papers, while Mendeley is good for more historical connections.

Reading papers:

I’ve tried a Kindle, but having to convert with Calibre adds too much friction to the process, and the result still isn’t that easy to work with. Reading for long periods of time on a laptop or desktop monitor is painful. An iPad with a Retina display comes close, but old school paper printout still wins the day. You can carry paper anywhere and scribble annotations on it with ease. I also find being able to have multiple pages “in view” at the same time is sometimes helpful for understanding. Not easily (cheaply) done with iPads or laptops.

This isn't specific to GitLab or GitHub, but turbolinks, pjax, and friends are really useful when you have a lot of setup that can be shared between pages, i.e. initiating a websocket connection, rendering a header with notifications and an avatar in it, decompressing and parsing your js and css, etc., and you don't want to implement a single page app.

When I refresh the GitLab sign-in page in Chromium, I see that the initial page load takes 40ms to parse css, 250ms to parse and execute js, and then another 70ms after DOMContentLoaded. This is with a warm cache. It's not unreasonable to think that turbolinks might save about 300ms on page loads, which is a respectable performance boost.

While your premise is indeed sound - and let me say I'm not taking away any credit for what you and your team have built - but we did evaluate Usetrace last year and found several basic issues. The system simply wouldn't record several events and user actions and it fell so far behind in a test case that we concluded it was probably not the right tool for us at the time.

But I'll be happy to re-evaluate the tool.
Exactly! If someone hacks my bank, I can sue them and get my money back. If someone hacks the app using your library, I have zero rights.

I've been in the Milanote beta and I really love it. I agree with the other commenters about the smart UI choices that I haven't seen elsewhere: column notes, unsorted list, no zoom, etc. Sometimes I need to arrange notes across a 2d space to group them and think about them correctly instead of having big sorted lists.

My knee-jerk to the pricing was that it's too much. On the other hand, as a brain-storming idea-gathering space maybe I don't need more than 100 notes at a time -- once I'm done brainstorming I export and delete, I dunno.

By way of comparison, I have 1600 notes in Evernote including PDFs, images, presentations I'm working on, web-clipped articles and their contents, encrypted notes... and they're $99/year. I don't think Milanote is positioning itself as the "everything box" that Evernote is. If they are I'd love to see a roadmap to help me evaluate.

Please add an API for programmatically accessing notes and boards. I don't need the layout information necessarily, but how great to tag a note #todo and have some agent somewhere pick it up and start tracking it, or sync an entire board out as part of a build process to make a larger publication.

'I would only request that it should be viewed in context of its history.'
THE context of its history is that Ukraine was independent longer than the USA exists. And even despite that fact, the post-soviet era requires borders to be intact in order to reach peace. If we'll let this go, that would mean that it is 'ok' to invade countries and we would fall down back into world wars times.
*And by invading countries, I mean grabbing someone's else land and declaring it your own.
Very very few people have health insurance coverage and a car?

It is actually the people who complain about having no job prospects, who don't have health insurance, and who can't afford a car that are the minority. Americans with jobs, healthcare, and cars are definitely the majority. I would even say the vast majority. Maybe a lot of them have 10k-70k in debt, and there are plenty of problems, but let's not act like America is the equivalent of a third-world country.
How the New Supreme Court May Tackle Tech’s Big Questions
> when someone finds and exploits a weakness in your library to take my money, I'm screwed.

I'm not sure what kind of exploit or weakness you are thinking about. But the risk of using Bankscrap's gem from your computer is similar to using your bank's mobile app. Bankscrap itself doesn't store any data nor send your credentials to any place other than your bank's API (the same that your mobile app does).

In other words, if you use Bankscrap's gem to build a web app to fetch and store your bank transactions (or someone else's), and your webapp or server gets hacked, obviously the responsibility is yours.

The UK's NHS is in a bad situation because it's been underfunded for many years by all parties.

A lot of the current pressure is a combination of that chronic underfunding and the chronic underfunding of social care. We don't need more beds, we need better social care to allow us to use the beds we have more efficiently. (Except we do need more beds. In the last six years there's been a reduction of 1 in 16 acute beds and 1 in 5 MH beds).

It's a weird situation because UK gov spends less per capita on health care than the US gov. If we increased spending on certain things - social care; early intervention MH services; better drug and alcohol services - we'd save so much money.

We're seeing another "social media revolution" - fuelled by Facebook (et al) on one side and old-school TV stations controlled by local oligarchs on the other.

Young, high tech, well-dressed, global 'hipsters' who live online versus older people, mostly rural, former communists, peasants or factory workers, who have no hope of adapting to the new incomprehensible tech world around them.

People from the first group work mostly at multinationals or are entrepreneurs/artists/etc while the second group live on state pensions or have administrative roles offered by the ruling political party - the modernised communists.

First group are people who've tasted freedom and are trying to live 'independent' lives, while the second group cannot imagine living without a strict social hierarchy, in which one must do what he's told - vestige of the communist system, in which everybody had his 'master'.

The second group has had numerical majority in the December elections - because of better mobilisation, so they elected the party who promised them higher pensions and other populist dreams..

We've seen this phenomenon play out in many countries already.

So far these protests have been peaceful - these young people know how to behave peacefully in crowds - after having enjoyed themselves at massive festivals and concerts that have invaded the post-communist Romania in the last decade or so.

Let's hope that they stay that way - there are some evil slogans being shouted on both sides, but so far the youth has had the upper hand, combined with the moral handicap of the second group - turns out not all of them want to save the criminals and corrupt oligarchs from prisons.

What's next ? The crowd won, the government withdrew the controversial ordinance, but how will they be able to continue business as usual now that they've accepted their own incompetence just one month after taking office ?

Will they do another stupid thing and have the crowds 'fix' it for them ? If this happens, then why not actually implement it in software and avoid massive mobilisation risking all kinds of crowd-related dangers ?

Unfortunately this is where Facebook falls short - it's good at creating massive crowds - but stops being useful once crowds are in place.

I think it's up to Romanians now to invent a new system of government, where the crowd can have a voice without filling the streets every week.

Representative democracy is unable to cope with the new technological realities so I think it's time to move on to the next level of governance.

Time to move the government into the smartphones - replace Facebook with 'Society OS' (or extend Facebook to include it).

My biggest hope is that the transition to this new society will be peaceful and devoid of violence.

Why would I need a 350HP luxury sedan?

Well, you have a 10 minute bike ride to work. In America, because of the size of the country, and the culture around bicycling, very very few people bike to work. A lot of people commute 20-30 minutes by car, because they live 8-20 miles from their work. So you don't need a car, especially a nice one. If you spent an hour in the car every day going to and from work, you would probably see the value in a nice(r) car.
"I am" - and - "I am that I am" are two different things. :)

And yes, I agree - 'Yahweh' from Jewish antiquity is more comparable to Zeus, for sure. (Though Yahweh evolved a lot over time, and was something else by the time Jesus came)

But you were comparing Jesus to Zeus. Those two are not very comparable.

Zeus belongs in the Egyptian/Roman/Mesopotamian camp. a little bit like Yahweh.

Jesus belongs more with Buddha, and Mohammed.

The former were 'myths to believe that explained things', the later were 'historical figures' and 'teachers' of 'how we ought to be as moral and spiritual beings'. These are very different eras, different kinds of religions, is my whole point.

FYI - that's why in 2016 there are tons of Buddhists, Muslims and Christians, and basically zero followers of 'Zeus'. Which further validates 'how different Jesus is to Zeus & Co'
If I understand your question correctly, then yes.
"We will all be judged in the end, even atheists admit as much if they thought through what happens after they die (by their fellow men, if nothing else)."

There's a huge difference between knowing people are going to judge your story (at least the story they think they know about you) and believing some all-knowing being is going to choose where to put your soul based on every single thing you ever did or thought. One idea makes sense and has plenty of evidence to support it, the other is bat-shit crazy.

I've got ADHD. Here are a few things that have helped me...

* Asking myself if I really need to do something. If the answer is no, not doing it is one thing less to distract me.

* Asserting myself by saying "I'm not finished" when interrupted in a conversation (helps when you give others a chance to speak)

* Turning off the ringer on my phone whenever possible.

* Choosing a career that is both interest (you wanna pay attention to it) and doesn't demand being interrupted as part of it's duties (such as answering a phone).

* Working with people who naturally want answer questions, because reading is harder.

* Noise cancelling headphones.

Medication might help, but you'll have to figure that part out yourself.

>> In reality all I've seen is the opposite. The US has bad and/or expensive healthcare, cell service, Internet, TV service to name a few.

I feel like this is cyclical.

You start out with a bunch of smaller companies that compete and consumers tend to win with the advantages you listed. Over time, some get bigger, the smaller ones eventually either go under, or get absorbed by the larger, growing companies until you end up with either one or two really large companies that then become essentially monopolies.

A prefect example is here in the Midwest when they deregulated US West Communications - now Qwest Telecom. There was a huge explosion of CLECS getting into the game, leasing lines from Qwest and essentially competing with Qwest using its own infrastructure (which seemed weird to me).

Consumers won (in the short term) because these new companies were taking all the risks. How much above cost the CLEC's were willing to risk either made them or broke them. It was a gold rush to see who would have the thinnest margin and try and lock down the most customers they could and get them to switch.

I have many, many stories from those days, but in the end you know what happened? Most of those companies went under, a few survived and merged with other companies and are still around, and most of the people who wanted more choice and lower costs eventually went back to Qwest anyways after having poor billing experiences, poor installation, and poor customer service. People think all you need to do is have more competition and it will solve everything - but that's just the beginning.
30k users in one month with less then 500€
I hope I didn't give that impression. I find that simpler code is inherently more reliable, more performant, and easier to maintain. I don't try to look too far down the road, because I've been on enough projects to know that they never turn out how anybody thought they would. So I just focus on writing simple code. And simple code is most easily written by sitting down with the client and really understanding their need, paring it down to the absolute minimum viable solution.

As for "career" considerations... well, I haven't had a very traditional career, so I don't put much stock in that. I just spend much less time writing "features" these days, and I've found it's been beneficial to my productivity, client satisfaction, and personal happiness.

Apologies if I came across as disgruntled.
The increase in the number of ECHR cases during a year suggests absolutely nothing about the government of that year. Almost all such cases are about trials that have a long history. Trials that have begun 10 years or more ago and that are not solved yet, are not uncommon. So whatever abuses are the subject of complaints, they might be the fault of a government of many years ago. As ECHR is reached after exhausting all other means, it is almost impossible for an ECHR case to refer to an abuse happened during the same year.

Our implementation was not..performant, hence why we abandoned it. Our thought was that we could make it work, but instead we ended up building our own key negotiation / management code atop some other stuff we had in order to setup the IPSec SAs.
