I2P benefits from router's by default also being nodes (not saying Tor should do that though), meaning there's more "spread" of where the nodes are. Most Tor nodes, even if ran honestly, are generally in the same few data center companies; digital ocean, flokinet, etc.

Also, its important to note that I2P's addresses (which are usually seen as something.i2p), can also be used directly in their 'hash' form like Tor, if you don't trust the jump/address book services.
Maybe it is time for Australians to outgrow the narrative that any time an Australian company succeeds at doing anything, it is a "David versus Goliath" story or some kind of absurdly hopeful "against all odds" narrative. It's getting very tedious when every single success in Australia is described in these terms.
You're comparing one of the largest companies in the world with a startup with just over hundred employees. Of course the CEO of Google has more important things to do.

Also I'm not saying the CEO was absolutely right. I wouldn't follow my employee on Twitter at all personally for the same reason. And I would definitely not enjoy if my CEO told me to change my tweet either.

But that's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about this guy. Aside from what the CEO did, this guy is a toxic guy, even after reading his own post that's obviously biased towards himself. He was not mistreated. I would understand if he's writing about how the company fucked him over by not letting him take his stock options. But no, this guy came to medium and wrote about how he's NOT going to take the stock options that were offered to him. If you really think this guy is the purely innocent guy and the company fucked him over, then I really have nothing more to talk about.
They only bash in defense. Non scientific people have been bashing people over the head with non science for centuries.
I really liked the adaptation. I told my friends it was like having a readers digest version of the 1995 movie which was a short part of a big manga.
Thursday games are usually the worst, so I'm not sure what kind of a coup this is. Really, the NFL needs to bag the whole idea of Thursday games
iMacs support 32GB.
My bad for not being more clear - there's a specific part in the article (I highlighted on Medium) that stated this:

>I was in charge of hiring them, so I went to great lengths to make sure my team consisted of the best possible people, with great engineering skills. You would imagine my concern and indignation when the CEO decided that the Service Engineers were to handle not just our increasingly demanding enterprise customers, but also every single GitLab related question posted on the internet, not just Twitter and/or Facebook, the entire internet!

I, of course, opposed this measure and went on to make my point as to why that was the case. I also suggested hiring specialized people, like Community Managers, to handle this task, which to me sounded reasonable, but management saw this as me going against the company’s best interests. To me, this clearly meant that it was no longer OK to voice your opinions, like it was in the past. In hindsight, this should have been the second clue.

That is the point I was getting at in I can see the value being added in multiple sectors! First, trying to cultivate talent and feeling responsible for that. Second, recognizing out-of-scope "Mission Creep" and speaking up. Third, not just complaining but offering a viable solution to the dispute. Fourth, being able to reflect that when good ideas are shot down without clarity and respect for the person and responsibilities being brought forward, is very important to the soul.

That's what I was referencing and I hope to have brought more context to my reasoning.
Man, I've got some stories. A few years back, circa 2014 I installed & set up PCAmerica CRE for a business. We used Ingenico ISC250 pinpads with direct integration which turned out to be a very poor decision! For a span of a month, those damn pinpads randomly double charged debit & EBT customers (which we reversed in bulk afterward), and the building got tagged saying "You stole $20 off my EBT Card". Ended up swapping in FD35 pinpads, but the damage was done.

Another time, I was down in Cali visiting family. Stopped in at the 7-Eleven caddy corner to where I was staying, and accidentally pulled a shim out of the Ingenico ISC350 that was sitting on the counter. What a joy! From what I hear, that 7-Eleven still has issues with that type of stuff, so much so that my family started paying in cash.

Also met some guys who were working on this pinpad integration for Pax, sounded like the API was designed back in the serial days (with the limitations that entails) and they were trying to make the best of it. Items onscreen worked, but you couldn't display the live total, Pax had designed their own coordinate pair protocol instead of sending a SVG of the customer's signature, etc. IIRC this is the library they published: https://github.com/AccelerateNetworks/PHPax
Yeah, in places like Russia, this "new idea" has been implemented since the 1930s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshrutka
I can't verify them, but a quick search reveals that people have found ways to use those apps on a rooted device.
Hopefully they will be broadcasting in 4K. It could be an influential driver of people with 4K TV's to try out Amazon Prime.
How many crash bugs make it past 8 months? Usually you find those out fairly quick.
Well, I guess we'll see. There's certainly been no shortage of lively discussion here and elsewhere on the subject.
Or push to change the culture to match the one given in the article, where documentation is important and kept updated?
>>I can't read the damn thing on my mobile

Continuing the off topic nature....I am still at a loss as to why people want to read websites on a mobile device, even if you have a 10in tablet is terrible experience IMO...

I will take my 3 27in monitors over tiny phone display all day long... Medium looks fine for me...
There really needs to be a division in American universities between Computer Science and Software Engineering, the same like you would find between Physics and Mechanical Engineering.
> If I was the CEO of Pepsi and saw my employee tweet how he likes Coke I would be pissed.

I would assume the CEO of Pepsi has more things to do than to track employees on social media. If Pepsi employed people to track other employees on social media, that would be more than a little creepy (and I would leave the company).

"Expressing opinions is not allowed here."

Not to mention that OP apparently posted the GitHub stats because the GitLab stats don't show the same information.
In the recent come back tour a comedian, Dave Chapelle, said marriage is a bad contract that you should never sign. He's right. Marriage in the US is an extremely shitty deal from the perspective of finance and business.

>Otherwise I just have to wonder what the real motive is behind making a public statement like this.

What is the motivation for blogging about anything? I am extremely disappointed that we are still stuck culturally in this situation where we can't have healthy public discourse about these things, where private businesses can get away with whatever they want and then proceed to threaten people for even trying to talk about it. Maybe it is sour grapes, so what? The emotional highs and lows are part of the package when it comes to startups, and hiding them doesn't do any good.
In other words, it's built on hundreds of millions to billions of dollars of typical, boring stuff on the bottom that allows all the cool stuff to work as well as it does.
We plan to add support through remote_read/remote_write, but it is still on our todo list. (And we're open to suggestions.)

> Unless you want your logic to be infinite, of course. In that case, the method would break down.

Godel numbering is infinite, because it is just natural numbers. Nothing prevents you to build the same proof for infinite number of axioms, rules, functions, variables..
Fighting the temptation to start injecting some packets on that network must be hard.
> Spreadsheets are the most intuitive programming environment known to man. Every time you reach for Excel to mung your data, that's opening a repl.

I absolutely agree - REPLs are excellent for prototyping and exploring data and ideas, and spreadsheets are excellent in that role.

Allow me to ask you this then: when was the last time you shipped prototype code? Unless you live dangerously, you don't ship prototype code!

> The only problem is that Google and Microsoft don't care enough to make them powerful enough to do general purpose computation with, fast enough to build large systems with, versionable enough to enable large teams to use them.

I would counter that a more important problem is "productionalizing" spreadsheets - all of the fiddly things you do to ensure inputs are in the right format, etc, etc, along with testing, securing, and deploying code.

What you want is Linux.

OS X is a bloated version of BSD. Why run that when you can use Linux for free? Install the software you use and nothing else. Your package manager will keep all of your software up to date for you. You won't be running an absurd antivirus program an the time...
The google network is gold plated, lacks the jitter inherent in the internet at large or inside other competitors' networks. It makes it tempting to ignore some aspects of distributed computing, if only for a moment.
I wouldn't say "a lot" in economic terms:
"The theoretical absolute minimum amount of energy required by natural osmosis to desalinate average seawater is approximately 1 kilowatt-hour per cubic meter (kwh/m3) of water produced, or 3.8 kilowatt-hours per thousand gallons (kwh/kgal)."

Either you're trying to start an argument that I want no part of, or you're asking the wrong person. I don't have much experience with any linux desktops (I've just done server stuff mostly), so I have no idea. Hence why I'm asking.
Where did it say they were transferring funding from Alpha House to ThNF?
Ha! I just wrote about it this morning. Tesla's potential is not in the car business as we used to know it, but in the way it's going to play out in the next decade. Based on everything happening right now, it's not an IF but WHEN kind of question. Here, some detailed thoughts : http://kirillzubovsky.com/what-is-tesla-really/
I still find it disappointing how dysfunctional we expect people to be these days. My grandfather had four children at my age, and had fought kamikaze pilots off Okinawa.
References to A Pattern Language are always refreshing to see.
Slurpr – the mother of all wardrive boxes (2007)
Many electric "smart" meters will expose your electrical usage in just this manner too. With electricity, at least, it's economically feasible to get a "cistern" (Tesla Powerwall, etc).
Eventually everything was scripted though, and you just needed to show up with a zombie account to contribute.

Saw lots of 1 year old accounts with no activity.
There's very little gain for you to:

- criticize them publicly
- "give feedback directly"
- whistleblowing

There's a bad ending to all those cases ranging from them blowing you off as a guy who got fired to lawsuits. I've always politely declined exit interviews as they offer me zero value and while I may have complained about a company over a beer, I've not blogged about it.
Wait until you ask your interviewers about on call rotation.

It's not about the number of cars that Tesla can sell today, and it's not even about the cars it will sell in the next decade, it's about the market domination a decade from now, and I see Tesla as a clear-cut winner. A few concrete thoughts here - http://kirillzubovsky.com/what-is-tesla-really/
https://www.60secondseveryday.com, the fastest way of keeping track of your memories.

You get a phone call every night and record your 60-second response to the question "How did your day go?". From there, your response is archived into your private online journal and displayed alongside your photos, twitter posts, check-ins, etc from that day.

Soon, you'll start getting Flashback emails (ex. "Here's what you were doing 6 months ago") with all of those cool things so you can reflect on your past.

Just saw it tonight and can't understand why all the critics panned it. By today's standards of what makes a good movie I thought it was great.
Android Espresso – Why Use It?
I started to refute this, but as I reviewed my post, I came to the realization that I have less confidence in the platform today than I did 12 months ago. Don't get me wrong, I like the Gitlab team, if you could call it that, for their transparency under duress, and how they kept us abreast of the troubles. However, the 'people' is not to be confused with the 'product', and if you're one of the users affected by recent events, then you may be justified in not giving a positive review of their service.
I'm just cherishing this moment where my hometown is on the front page of HN.
I didn't think you were cherry-picking facts deliberately; but there's an inevitable amount of accidental cherry-picking when we evaluate other countries based on the factors we consider to be important. It's like the "paradox" that 90% of drivers consider themselves to be better than average drivers; people who drive fast praise themselves for driving fast and people who drive slowly praise themselves for driving slowly, because in both cases how they drive is driven (pun not intended) by what they consider to be "good" driving.

I absolutely agree than Kenya and the USA are not "on par" with each other; but before jumping from that to describing Kenya as "a proper shithole" I'd want to talk to Kenyans and find out how Kenya measures up under their standards.
In Chile they have a shared-ride system called a 'colectivo', where a taxi will pick up passengers along a route and passengers will share a fare.

In Pichilemu, this supplemented the bus routes which only ran at most at hourly intervals. It's a coastal town with less than 15,000 residents that swells over summer to meet tourist needs. Outside those months, a bus service would certainly not be economical.
We get used to things that seem unsafe but are safe very quickly according to history. Elevators, for example. When I was young they generally had human operators, but now they're all autonomous, have been for a while, fail sometimes here and there but nobody seems hugely exercised about it.
One of the problems with these devices is they almost always come with "free" cloud management solutions, meaning you pay a one time fee for the hardware, and get access to "the cloud" for life for no additional fee

So the cloud services must be continually supported by selling new devices at an exponentially increasing rate to support both old and new customers.. In other markets this is called a pyramid scheme where new investors pay off old investors...

I will not buy a IoT product that does not some with a Self Hosted management option, preferably open source, but at minimum installable binaries to run on my own server. If they want to provide their own service for the less technical clients more power to them, but for me self hosted or no buy
To be honest, I'm a little bitter how many sad console ports are released on PC. Many games would be very good if they even pretended to adapt themselves to mouse/keyboard input, but the body shop responsible for the PC ports apparently don't care.
We don’t really have them in China, and overseas Women in Tech communities aren’t really interested.
yeah... was trying to be a bit tongue in cheek (my tongue, my cheek).

I guess I just pay too much attention to addresses/formats, and have for years.

You can have as much slack as you want, FYI :)
I think it's a serious comment lamenting the rise of "scientism" which is a dogmatic belief in the supremacy of rationalism and materialism.

it's possible to be very opposed to scientism while also being very supportive of good science.

You don't use nginx in dev.
Could you expand a bit more on you comment? I feel I'm missing some context. Specifically, what do you mean by gold plated? Why is it tempting to ignore some aspects of distributed computing? I'm missing a lot of context that you are implicitly implying so could you elaborate?
In Vietnam, Uber required a credit card for the longest time. This is a silly position to take, given most Vietnamese do not have credit cards. You can now use Uber without a credit card, but Uber's position had a cost.

Grab Taxi has now taken much of the market and do not require a credit card. I will never use a hailing service requiring a credit card, and as such I can never be charged a cancellation fee.

Fair game legally or technically?

Legally maybe, probably, who knows. Personally I don't feel protected legally anymore with regards to privacy. It's a good thing I don't really do anything illegal, even if it both saddens and angers me that the world is letting this happen.

Technically I'm assuming without some serious cooperation with Digital Ocean it's going to be hard. Sure, if someone gives the authorities (or the hackers get) root, then my OpenVPN software will be more Open than "VPN."

You've not seen _jupiter ascending_, I take it?
They cancelled Alpha House awhile back, I do not believe I implied they cancelled because of NFL, I simply stated I think the 50 million would have been better spent on that show than buying any NFL garbage

That said every company has a Budget, and the 50 Million they are giving to the NFL for their over priced waste of time is 50 Million they could have spent on quality original entertainment, or buying some back catalog somewhere.

personally I would get more enjoyment if they released a video of Jeff Bezos burning 50 Million in a 55 Gallon drum...

//I can not stand the NFL....
Clearly not everyone agrees with you but honestly I'm in the same boat.
A better complaint is that a company like Uber can profit from it. The service they provide is so banally simple that it could be replicated by a government office or nonprofit, and has been in several markets (RideAustin as an example). This is how communities should move forward; not through Uber.
Casinos = dark design. Of course they wouldn't teach emotional responsibility.

As both an overall fan of Heinlein and of his Starship Troopers book, perhaps I'm in the minority in that I also liked the movie.

That said, I don't take it too seriously which arguably misses any intended satirical point. As you say, to the degree that I found the movie more amusing than serious satirical commentary on Heinlein it may well have failed in its purpose.

If cable dies, then the remaining bandwidth can simply be used for the internet. The writing has been on the wall for a long time so it really should not come as a surprise to the cable companies. As an anecdote, all the people I know that used to have cable now only have an internet connection and get all of their entertainment from there, self included. I know nobody that still has cable.

We're not quite in the sci-fi future yet
Drone swarms exist, but mostly do intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in the field. The perdix drones that the us military does have are powered by propeller, so so they can't keep up with a fighter jet that can go Mach 1.6 or carry or current supply of air to surface missiles. I believe that the way they would attack a fighter aircraft is turn themselves into Kamikaze missiles.

They're still working the bugs out and trying to perfrct their autonomous behavior...which scares the shit out of me as I write this. This is the only application of AI that causes me fear and anxiety. Thankfully, they don't have any weapons platforms yet
