Could not every wind turbine be a wind sensor? Sure, they are not distributed evenly but at least here in europe pretty much all wind rich areas are full of them so they could provide some data that obviously is available as they have to be managed centrally somehow.

There's a lot here to discuss. I think you're right: look at the huge tech grab between China and America. Almost all Western Internet + parts of Asia goes through America (Google/Amazon/Facebook) for example.

As for centralization, I agree with you, but what do you do with all the people who didn't back the right industry? They're slowly being displaced. If you subscribe to the concept of social welfare, a government should be ensuring their quality of life. This includes access to employment, education, healthcare and even pleasure.

This is the inconvenient truth of the current world we live in, but frustratingly it took a Trump and a Brexit to happen for the idea to get much coverage, and even still it is mired in unnecessary political complications that are not strictly relevant.

I've no idea what current state is, but at one point the Wikimedia Foundation was seriously concerned about potential Wikipedia forks, such as by Facebook. And was working to make them more difficult.

Given that WP seems to have plateaued in a less-than-ideal place, with for instance, a lot of research programming languages considered non-notable, I had mixed feelings about that. A competitor with a different culture could be a good thing.
This part fascinated me :

I waited 5 anxious minutes, and then was bought into a room with two doctors, one of whom turned out to be Dr. Sonny Palmer.

Sonny said Georg thought I needed some help, and I’d be checked within a day. I asked if he’d seen the letter with his name on it. He hadn’t. He went and got it.

He came back and said I was going to be operated on in an hour.
""
You obviously don't want to be rude when talking with doctors, but you absolutely should be your own advocate. Any time you're dealing with medical choise ask questions, such as "did you notice X" or "did you see the information from other person Y" or "do I have other options here than the plan you outlines?" or "your advice sounds good, but what are complications / side effects in doing this?"
In the United States it feels like our attitude is "I go to doctor to get fix for aliment. He prescribes X. Done", and it's never that simple.

I'm sure they will open it up more broadly at some point. Right now they can ensure that the big brands create more compelling ads and have control over it. We'll definitely see more portrait video content moving forward.

Do you know if the ads they started running are forced viewing? Are they injected like interstitials before you can digest your friends' content?

If so, that's compelling for an advertiser but likely to kill the service IMO, as young people will easily defect.
Actually, it seems they wanted the NRA to fund the editorial content being given freely to Everytown.

I believe what he was getting at is as an adult, you should be able to realize that a website on the internet is just that--and have the ability to take it with a grain of salt without being highly offended / outraged.

I don't think the intention was to say everyone on Twitter are adults--in fact it's the complete opposite of that. It's a platform where you can get both the best and the worst from all walks of life across the world. Sometimes there will be jerks and people who are the polar opposite ideologically to what you agree with.

I've built similar proxy/cache setups with just nginx.

I really don't see the issue here.

There's no reason that Snapchat should voluntarily censor ads on that story at their own financial loss.
Man, those die images are phenomenal.

I guess the reason for never bumping into it was that all use cases I encountered so far, the controls were in-process and died when the application terminated.
I really like Elixir... but to say it's ruby 3x3 isn't quite fair. While the syntax is ruby-like, even the simplest ruby program isn't directly portable to Elixir. It's definitely something different, so saying things like this is misleading.

It'd be closer to say:
> Ruby 3x3 is here already. It's called Crystal ;)

Definitely check out Elixir and Crystal though if you need more performance.
How else would they toughen up?

> There's nothing wrong about what I said

You said that @sama's term sheet didn't have a rofr, just participation rights. That is incorrect. It has both.

> that investor can't block a future round.

This is expressly what a right of first refusal, or ROFR, is. To be precise: they can prevent the next purchaser from coming in, though they can only do so by making the purchase themselves. If they cannot afford to, they cannot block. The round will, itself, proceed, but not necessarily with the outside investors.

> to think thy suddenly give investors a right to refuse other investors in future rounds is frankly ridiculous

They 100%, unequivocally, absolutely do. This is the central, core purpose of a ROFR. It happens quite often.

Btw, I checked out your profile. I very much respect your work.
> Not sure what you mean by client-generated. The server-side app generates the id because it has to store and interpret it.

Per the description above:

"Each non-idempotent operation is tagged with a unique identifier"

Since the operation originates on the client, the client has to tag it with the identifier, no? And the server has to store this identifier in a way that associates it with any data affected by that operation in a non-idempotent way.

Or are you saying that the client first has to make a round-trip to the server to generate the ID, and then use that server-provided ID for the actual POST?

No, the best solution is free or affordable access to the entire internet.

Maybe someone had used a grid of those, but alone that CPU is quite weak for supercomputers ;)

This CPU is used in a printer: http://katyusha-print.ru/ (but I doubt the product is any widespread - there are no such devices in stores, anywhere)

For PCs it's x86 (with a small fraction of ARM) - just like (almost) everywhere else.
2. Information that can be actively exploited, but can also be fixed so the previous disclosure is harmless. This means passwords, authentication tokens, etc.

I wouldn't call the disclosure harmless. It's unknown if anyone made use of the leaked information before Cloudflare knew, so accounts should be treated as compromised unless it's shown otherwise.

Also, leaking user credentials to any system that handles payments and health info would also breach PCI/HIPAA . This broadens the scope of systems effectively breaking the law.

Another thing to keep in mind is that many(most?) token based authentication systems don't invalidate tokens. So any tokens captured will be valid until they expire, and they can't be "changed" without invalidating every outstanding token (changing the server key)

>Snap's data has real value

My only disagreement is that its all fake usernames. The friend graph is not as accurate as its like Kik, Myspace, Instagram and twitter in that people will add random people from all different sources, and make connections as there are no real threats to "real life" and "online life". with facebook you at least have a more signals into a "real life" graph and with twitter you have an interest graph. With Snap I don't think either of their signals (stories, friends) are as good.

It directs traffic conditionally based on if our cache server is up or not, falling back to S3 directly. In theory, we could use nginx for this, but nginx isn't as good as a generic load balancer since it doesn't have as rich of insight into the status of upstreams. Also yes, the nice benefit of being able to do alerting based on uptimes and whatnot. We already have haproxy running here, so it was just adding another frontend to support this.
In this particular case, you don't have a choice. If you run an NRA ad in Everytown's campaign, Everytown is the less-loved customer.
I graduated college in 2015 and I would say Snapchat is just as popular amongst my friend group as when we first started using it.

When my younger family members who are in high school and college want to contact me, they always start the conversation on Snapchat.

It's all anecdotal, but I think Snapchat has been outside the fad phase for awhile now.

Power Glove was Mattel, not Nintendo. (Though it was featured heavily in The Wizard, which Nintendo was involved with; and its name evokes Nintendo trademarks from the era like "Nintendo Power" and "Now You're Playing With Power", so lots of people thought it was Nintendo's.)
Sure. But it's a supply and demand problem. It's hard to find a competent programmer, so you have to pay more to attract one, or they are going to work somewhere else. But it's easy to find someone to clean the floors, so even if you offer very low wage that is going to discourage some people, there will be others who will take it. It has nothing to do with value they provide.
Original letter to campus community from vice chancellor for undergraduate education:

http://news.berkeley.edu/2017/03/01/course-capture/

The university is removing public access to all of the YouTube and iTunesU video content that is currently available. Apparently this is 20,000 videos. For example, here are the lecture courses in Computer Science that are available but will soon disappear:

http://webcast.berkeley.edu/series.html#c,d,Computer_Science

The reasons for doing this seem to stem largely from this letter from the Department of Justice

https://news.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/2016-08...

which informed the university that the free online video content was in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Couldn't agree with this more. I'm from MN, we tend to be pretty polite and understated, assume that doctors (and other authorities) know what they're talking about. Had a friend who progressed to a heart attack in a waiting room because he didn't want to make a fuss.

Snapchat is immensely more popular than Facebook for anyone under 25. They change and iterate their UI/UX quite often to confuse (keep away) adults from using it and "ruining" it for the younger audience.
My impression is that the intent is to mitigate the possible legal issues raised by the numerous repositories without license.

It seems a little far fetch, but I imagine that accessing and reading content subject to copyrights can be punished legally in some (many?) countries, even if the content is de facto public.

(A book published by accident on an open http server is not that different).

Also, GitHub having a proeminent "fork" button can be seen as an invitation to violate copyrights, making the service somewhat responsible.

However, I'm certainly not a lawyer and I can't determine accurately the implication of this paragraph (intentional or accidental).

Yeah, what I mentioned does nothing to improve performance, just thought I'd mention it as something to think about. For your use case S3 replication doesn't really give you extra availability. In practice I would likely use your caching method, and use S3 replication in addition, if I had a large dataset that doesn't cache well. Or if I absolutely needed to maintain write availability, in which case I would use bi-directional S3 replication.
