Glitch (formerly GoMix (formerly HyperDev))... Is it for professional devs? Is it a prototyping / learning toy? It's a cloud code editor and also a PaaS [but without git] and also a project discovery platform? Is all of that really still free? Well how free and for how long? The offering is so generous that it's hard to understand / believe it will last.

It might have been the point of this post but I still don't understand who this tool is for and what software in a dev setup it will replace.
> Please explain what prevents Mexico from improving its standard of living on its own.

Nothing whatsoever. Except of course that no country exists 'on its own'.

> Mexico is not some kind of slave to America; it's a sovereign nation, in control of its own destiny.

No, it's a lot less in control of its own destiny than America, mostly because of America (incidentally, also the biggest consumer in the drug trade). To all intents and purposes Mexico is utterly dependent on what happens on the other side of the border. Of course it is easy to deny that if you choose to do so but it suits quite a few interests in the United States just fine to have a weak and poor country next door.

To the point that there have been serious interventions in Mexican internal affairs to keep it that way benefiting (mostly American) foreign strategic and economic interests.

> It's free to trade with all the other 200+ nations on Earth, or to attempt to negotiate having its people go live there.

To the extent that it is able to do so, it does.

> Why does America get all the blame in your world for Mexico's problems?

It doesn't. Why do you read it as such?

America is to blame only to such an extent that they first establish a whole pile of factories abroad when it suits them and then at the drop of a hat imperils the newly created stability and middle-class in a country next door. That sort of action comes with responsibility.

> Who does America get to blame for its problems?

With great power comes great responsibility. If you don't want to be seen as responsible do not continuously mess in other countries affairs and when you do realize that you can't withdraw that support overnight.

One thing is for certain, ad blocking is going to become more and more prevalent and never less.

The end game for ad blocking is to all but eliminate advertising. An ad blocking client could, ultimately, just block any domain that has aggressive anti-ad block features.

With enough users doing this, new sites that are ad free would quickly replace the old ad driven sites. Some of the ad driven sites would modernize.

Ads are a failed path. By eliminating ads we open the door to novel solutions. Only a cynical fool could believe technology isn't up to solving this minor problem. There are already a dozen potential solutions waiting for the incentives to change.
IIRC, for the first few years, Facebook stored all event times in "local time", but with the Pacific time zone.

So if your event was in 3 PM Eastern Time, it would be written to the database as 3 PM Pacific Time.

Did it result in bugs? Yeah, sure. Should it have been fixed to use UTC? Of course. But it wasn't the end of the world -- people lived with it for years and it worked well enough. (Engineers grumbled about the code, of course.)

I used to take the N-Judah to work downtown every day and the trains were at most half-full.

How long ago? The N-Judah trains are packed like sardines inbound in the morning and outbound in the evening. They've started running empty trains out to Hillway because typically by UCSF the inbound trains are completely full. More housing in the Sunset would absolutely require improved transit.
> "By your argument, California could easily afford to pay for it if only Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Montana, and Kentucky were not "mooching" off of it."

Not if the funds are paying for people living in these states legally.. Surely you see the distinction between funding people legally living in the US and those living here illegally.

What I know is that if California elected responsible politicians that used tax money for Californians and not for people living in the state and country illegally they wouldn't need the federal money.

Get rid of your politicians and elect responsible ones and stop whining.
They'll take that risk for one single day. Then they'll wake up the next morning with their vehicle, which they rented out to Uber for taxi rides overnight, parked in their driveway full of vomit. That's the best case scenario, where the box actually exists and works, and Uber can find a sucker.
Yeah, I thought I made it clear I didn't think there would be any fabrication. That's different from it being able to completely rely on something being accurate, I doubt it's recorded with the same care financial data is, for instance.
It can be done relatively simply when you make direct deals with ad agencies or cross-promotion deals with other product companies. The problem is that no ad network wants to be a part of it; and for the little guy, ad networks are the only thing with economies-of-scale large enough to be interested in purchasing your nearly-worthless ad-space.

Thus my view: we need a "catalogue of creative, you pick what you run"-style ad network, so that the little guys have somewhere to turn instead of acquiescing to the existing networks and ending off with their sites showing chumboxes[1].

Although I am ready to believe almost anything derogatory about Kalanick up to and including eating bbq'd babies with mayonnaise (yuck), the idea of "stealing a company concept" is pretty lame.

Lyft started with a different business snd pivoted to Uber's (itself all a pivot?). Did Lyft "steal the concept?"
Words can't express how sad I feel about people who write and believe in such a logic. Where is our humanity gone?

How can you think that by helping people (legal or not) you are doing something wrong? USA is a country that has a massive problem with not accepting what it is, what it has, and what it could have. But then again, a country is made of diverse people. I feel happy that some people in California feel that they need to help and support those who are most vulnerable and mistreated by the system.

The poor living legally in your country ARE NOT competing for resources with "illegal aliens" you call them (I find it absurd to even consider a person, a HUMAN BEING, to be illegal, but that's a different topic). Your country has way more resources available than those dedicated to eradicating poverty.
This is one of the reasons why a lot of electrical/mechanical/civil engineers don't get their certification. Same reason. No amount of money would make them take that risk.
I mean that she probably had other offers that were easier but also very very lucrative, so Yahoo had to offer a lot to get her. Unfortunately, no one is probably willing to pay your hypothetical person that much. That is the whole difference. And your person doesn't necessarily work harder, iirc Mayer works a pretty insane schedule. But hard work by itself isn't worth that much, you have to have valuable skills to match, and being a good CEO at the large corporate scale is a pretty rare and extremely valuable skill.
Holding transit money hostage to punish the state for other transgressions is petty and authoritarian. Instead, step up enforcement of the immigration issue and keep the train issue separate.

And before you scream, "sanctuary state!", either decide immigration is a state issue or not, but don't say it's a federal issue and then rely on states to enforce it. That's a pretty typical MO for the federal government -- demand that the states enforce things that cost money but don't actually provide money for it.
That certainly seems to be the implication of the original article.

I guess it's up to the legal process to decide if he did or not.

If a bug was discovered in bitcoin that robbed 80% of its users in some unexpected fashion, the network would probably hard fork too. All ETH did was basically a 51% attack by stakeholders in the network.

One lesson is not to trust ANY contract to be immutable if it manages an outsized chunk of network capital. Another is that Ethereum will beat its private competitors, since for contracts to be trustworthy they will need to run on the biggest and most diversified network there is.
It's obviously not the volume of data that is surprising. It's that they retained system message logs from a random laptop for years. They must regard this as potentially important business information. Does your company do this? Mine sure doesn't.
But I am also saying, more importantly, that it would be ethically wrong to try.
Well the Caltrain electrification is in one of the book ends.

The logic for starting in the middle is that it created economic assistance (as a side effect) in an area with a jobs problem. Why not start that part sooner rather than later?
One of the cool things about Ethereum is that you can build your non-turing-complete contract software on Eth, and use Eth to check your NTC-Eth contracts. I can't think of anything stopping you from doing this right now. Maybe you or other people can weigh in on why it's not feasible?
> California spends an enormous amount of money on illegal aliens

Do you have a source on how much this is in aggregate, preferably both in gross (total) and net (minus the value of undocumented migrants'/illegal aliens' economic input to the California economy) terms? I'm just sceptical that this--versus so many other categories of frivolous state spending--is the lowest-hanging fruit.
>"But that's also true of would be migrants who are most in need of help. In either case you are 'forcing' someone to stay in their home country. "

Not entirely. In the one case, you're simply saying "you can't come here, unless you are X-amounts productive". The other one, which I was arguing-against, was more along the lines of: "You can't come here because you are Y-amounts productive and should stay there and fix your side of this earth."

The net result is not the same. The one prescribes that an individual has to be "X-amounts productive", whereas the other says "if you are more than Y-amounts productive, you are not allowed to come here". With all the upside-down incentives we have going on in the world right now with welfare and progressive taxation, this is the one area where government is still sort of "rewarding" the "productive" or "ambitious".

>"The controversial question is what constitutes 'your area'. Depending on who you asks it's anywhere from your neighborhood to the entire Earth. Depending on your take on that you could conclude that you have a legitimate right to kick people out of your street or that we should adopt an open border policy worldwide."

Well, as a Libertarian, I think borders are pretty damn arbitrary, too. But until we can get to that point, we have to be realistic about what we've decided to share with our neighbors. Ideally, we should be allowed to each decide how our tax money gets spent. If anything, we can restrict it's usage to the level of "openness" we wish to spread it around to. So some would want it only spent in their street, others to a city level, and the rest wish it to be spread equally for the whole world's benefit. That is, if we're talking about actually giving each person a choice, instead of what we call "Democracy".
I remember doing a MUMPS course in 1985. At the time my company was looking at replacing a PDP-11/45. One of the choices was VAX with MUMPS. We also looked at a GA machine with PICK.
Instead of down voting, please state why you want to fund people who are living in the US illegally instead of funding a train for people who are here legally.

And I'm sure you're a big proponent of changing that, huh.
I haven't done too much research on that part of it, but states like Kansas that declined the current Medicaid expansion don't look like they did very well. What's the rationale for not doing it?
Yellow? Does that mean cowardly or something else?

I don't see the problem with those communications - they reflect the truth! There are hundreds of thousands of economic migrants - don't tell me they are all refugees, because the evidence simply does not support this - that once in the EU are able to make their way to Calais etc. with little difficulty. These migrants come from a culture that is very different to our own and many struggle to adapt (e.g. the New Year rapes in Cologne, news of which suppressed by the German media with complicity from BBC and other international sources). Don't we have a right to be concerned about the prospect of thousands upon thousands of immigrants arriving specifically due to their background, if their culture is one that is in some parts actively hostile to our own way of life? I have to say when either side lines up to spread propaganda it's scary, and regarding Brexit the consensus and weight of propaganda was definitely coming from the establishment Remain cohort.

One question that never seems to get answered by Remainers is the question of how many is too many - they are desperate to tell us about how immigration is a net benefit to the economy etc. To take this to its logical extreme, why then don't we just abolish all border controls and invite anyone to come? Because surely all immigration is a net benefit! We all know this is a ridiculous idea. With that agreed, the question is just about numbers. For some reason that's a debate the left seems to be terrified by.

It's also a business he no longer wants to deal with. But he still doesn't want to share it 'for reasons'.

Also, at a 2%+ dispute rate he'd probably get shutdown on any other payment platform as well.

I'm also inclined to believe there is a lot more BS going around.
They're much more likely downvoting you for trying to hijack the thread with an unrelated political topic/flamefest and then complaining about getting downvoted.
Yup. The train is a huge boondoggle, mostly because they are building it backwards. Building the middle part where no one lives is easier and will make a lot of jobs in a lot of poor areas, but then it is just a secret welfare program, not a useful piece of infrastructure. Let's just provide welfare if that's the goal, and then build some useful infrastructure like electrified tracks in the Bay Area and bullet train to Stockton that people might actually ride and then use those fares to pay for the rest of the train.
In 2014, Jon Stewart offered an interesting definition of clickbait:

"I scroll around, but when I look at the internet, I feel the same as when I’m walking through Coney Island. It’s like carnival barkers, and they all sit out there and go, 'Come on in here and see a three-legged man!' So you walk in and it’s a guy with a crutch."

The thing is, he was talking about BuzzFeed when he said that, and that is not what BuzzFeed does at all. BuzzFeed's editor wrote about the distinction here, and it's the most insightful article I've read on the topic:

https://www.buzzfeed.com/bensmith/why-buzzfeed-doesnt-do-cli...

People tend to consider things like lists clickbait, even though those articles usually deliver exactly what the headline suggests. (If you click on "23 photos of kittens that are just too adorable," that is what you will get.) But because it's an article that was made specifically to get traffic, people incorrectly call it clickbait.

And it often goes even further than that. On Reddit and Hacker News, commenters constantly call articles clickbait. Sometimes it's true, and there's a sensational headline that leads to a bullshit story. But just as often, the story delivers on what the headline promises, but commenters call it clickbait because the headline is slightly hyperbolic, snappy, or just plain well-written.
Well, Stack Overflow, probably felt like an odd choice at the time too.
Man, you really are upset with the idea of people living in California "illegally". Have you ever speeded and gotten away with it? Does that mean you also live in California "illegally" as that would make you also a scofflaw?
> Honestly, your comment about moose hunting is downright offensive.

It's supposed to be: the whole idea of allowing only people who are a good "cultural fit" is offensive. That's the point I was refuting. Determining "cultural fit" requires absurd stereotypes.

The idea that Mexicans can't find a place in our country is as absurd as the idea that Canadians can't.

They weren't "shut out" they were subjected to a popularly-enacted municipal ordinance requiring Austin-administered finger-printing of drivers and decided to stop providing service to Austin.
Nowadays during key commute hours, the N-Judah is quite a bit more crowded – often to shoulder-to-shoulder standing-room-only, or wait-for-the-next-train-because-there's-no-more-room, levels.

MUNI has added extra shuttle trains that just run the busiest part of the line (https://www.hoodline.com/2016/09/new-n-judah-shuttles-aim-to...), and the N-Judah will be the 1st line to get 3-car trains (https://www.hoodline.com/2017/02/n-judah-will-be-first-line-...).

But yes, they could run even more. And there should be far denser housing near dedicated rail lines.

I'd go so far as to say all lots, statewide, that are within a 5 minute walk of a rail station should have no height or housing-type restrictions other than those required for earthquake safety. (And yes, this goes for the commuter suburbs, too. If you get a BART station, you need to accept a bunch more housing – or the trains should skip that stop.)
>This goes for anything that's old. But that does not equate to 'good', it's just old. Just like new isn't necessarily better old isn't either.

It's not the old part that he's praising but the fact that it's been extensively tested. That's definitely a plus.

For me DuckDuckGo works pretty well. If I can't find something there, I always try to use Google, to no avail. It proves that DDG is as good as Google at least for my searches.

> one can still use Google Search completely anonymously

If you try to use it via Tor, you'll have to solve CAPTCHAs, not for every search, but still pretty often. It's annoying and not very anonymous-friendly. Sure, you can use Google Search anonymously, but Google does enough to discourage you doing it.
> Why does America get all the blame in your world for Mexico's problems?

Where do you think the vast majority of the money propping up the organized crime groups that are disrupting civil society in Mexico comes from? The flow of money from the US involved is, proportional to the size of target economy, equivalent to some other country funnelling something like $200 billion a year to armed anti-government groups in the US.

> It's also not meant for hosting internet facing websites (by this i mean, it is not optimized for hosting your personal public blog).

It's an Intranet portal, essentially—like the one you get from setting up Apple's Server.app. But it could certainly be used to host an app that builds an Internet-facing website.

For example, you could launch an authenticated-users-only Wordpress instance on Sandstorm, to allow your team to collaboratively create a website. Then you'd install the Simply Static plugin in that Wordpress instance, and use it to shove a static-slug copy of the site out to a public web-enabled S3 bucket or wherever else you like.

In fact, there's probably a good nascent architecture involving Sandstorm + Minio + nginx where you use Sandstorm on the intranet-side, as a multi-product Content Management System for a public-facing site.
I'm confused, where did the he/she state that?
Because no one will ride that section. If you start on the ends people will actually pay money to ride the train, which then funds construction on the other part of the train and provides steady jobs instead of only temporary ones.

If you want to provide welfare to people without jobs, then provide welfare. Don't provide secret welfare and call it a high speed train.
Because there are three separate scenarios we could be in: the sitting president wants to get rid of this power, the sitting president wants to abuse this power, and the sitting president does not understand this power.

If the office of the president is saying things like "microwaves that turn into cameras," I'm not confident in the president's ability to understand the problem well enough to solve it effectively (nor, and this is small comfort, to take advantage of it effectively).

As a wise man once said, "Anyone who cannot name our enemy is not fit to lead this country." "Now, to solve a problem, you have to be able to state what the problem is or at least say the name."
They did- lidar and other designs, and this is saying that rather than it only being Levandowski's fault, Kalanick knew what was happening from the beginning and Uber was essentially using Otto as a shell company. This is stated clearly in the third paragraph of the article.

>Start Otto as a plausible corporate vehicle for developing the self-driving technology

>Acquire Otto for $680 million
