W3C should write machine readable specs and vendors should transform those specs into working browsers, where the transformation is mechanically provably correct.

Single sign-on. It's really nice to NOT have to copy-paste usernames and passwords from password managers into native apps but use a simple "sign in with FB/Twitter" and it's done. 1 second with a decent internet connection vs 60+s for switching to Keepass, entering the wallet password, actually finding the password, copying the username, switching back to $app, pasting the username, switching back to Keepass, hope it didn't for some reason decide to randomly lock, copy the password, switch back to $app, hope it didn't forget the username in the meantime...

edit: it becomes a special annoyance when an app decides to lock you out after n days (n usually = 30). Great from a security POV but hell is that annoying if it happens to multiple apps at once on a day. Or when you have 20+ apps with unique logins when you reset your phone... as login credentials/tokens are (rightfully) not cloud synced. Android desperately needs a password-autocomplete API, secured by e.g. the fingerprint sensor found on new-ish Samsung devices.
mmmmh, delicious delicious high quality open source implementation completely controlled by Google. Because Chrome is definitely not known for implementing stuff on their own and ignoring standards. Same way Google is not known for purposefully worsening performance and experience on their websites to non-Chrome users, and same way Google is not transitioning all important Android capabilities into Google Play Services, which itself is closed source.

What could happen with Chrome if they were the only ones on the market, I wonder.

Usually I keep workout less than 45 minutes no matter what. If I am lifting weights, it usually doesn't get too intense. Cardio is a bit tough to not get sweaty in. Usually I just walk on treadmill, so yeah I don't burn a lot of calories but it still feels good though.
I like the free market and I think letting the free market do its thing is a good default solution to a wide range of problems.

I don't have faith that the free market will solve any problem well if we just wait long enough though. Nor do I believe that it's wise to just sit around and refuse to fight injustice because the problem might solve itself out in 50 years.

In this specific case, I think the network effect of social networks (ie it only makes sense to use a given social network if the people you want to communicate with use it as well) is so strong that the unregulated free market is not a good model to solve that problem.
Allowing username changes should be basic functionality in any system that has usernames. People change, names change, and so on.

Kind of OT but the company I work for has more locations than McDonalds, and Walmart. Not combined but separate. Which baffles me. When I first started here I never knew what went into a retail store, from architecture, construction, store layout, buying, merchandising, it's insane... We call our headquarters the 'Store Support Center' because our mission is to support all 16,000 if our stores nationwide and a few in Canada.
I'm surprised you focused only on that point and followed it up with "Wikipedia with middle men is more valuable than NN"

My whole point is that the internet is much, much more than Wikipedia.

Giving that up is simply a bad choice.

----

As for your point on govt regulation. -

Telecom is a textbook example of an industry which has barriers to entry and a tendency towards monopoly. You have to have regulation to compensate for the inherent structural issues of the market.

Secondly there are free versions of the net being offered and discussed, Mozilla has one, which conform to NN.

But The middle men still want NN broken so that they can seek rents.

This results in the old cable tv model, which is exactly the kind of poor system the internet iterates over.

I keep being surprised by how people bring these incorrect and inappropriate analogies to this discussion (free market, choice).

I feel now, that it's free market-ism which causes this problem - a belief that by allowing the market and firms to figure it out, there will be some better outcome.

Which is so odd to hear from Americans given The history of every telecom auction, the promised roll out of fiber, the tax breaks and many more.
This guy is clueless about metal alloys, and why they are, omitting the general shape, the most important quality of a 'good knife', followed closely by handle and balance.

I have been using Hotmail and Skype since the old days, but now my Skype (on Linux, mind you) is totally unusable and the Outlook online abomination is becoming WORSE every day. I just noticed today that they added a DOOOONG sound to the "webapp", but then when I open it nothing happened. It was a message in the "Others" recently added tab (not a folder, not spam, somewhere in the middle but physically in a totally different place). I love the "Done" action from Inbox (Google) as it's a perfect categorization.

So I'm migrating everything to Inbox (Gmail) and people don't care at all switching to Hangouts instead of Skype.

I think in the vast majority of cases such as yours you are falling victim to making excuses as to why its not feasible.

My commute is also 10 miles in the urban east side of Kansas City, MO. This is most likely one of the least cycling friendly places in America and yet here I am, cycling to work every day and loving every minute of it.
I'm not sure how to fix this, assuming that global warming does wipe out alot of the Florida coast line.

I think he is right that its the banks who will start the decline by no longer issuing mortgages, starting with long term mortgages. We've already seen it happen in cities that don't have coastal flooding like Detroit.

People leave, property values fall, banks stop giving out as many loans, values fall further, property taxes revenue declines and the cycle repeats as the city circles the drain.

Ideally you'd have something like a forced relocation where the country/state/county would buy your property from you and you'd move, but with 100's of billions in property about to disappear, it's not really realistic let alone politically feasible for the government to buy everyone's ocean front property and put the bill on the shoulders of someone from Colorado.

I mean look at a city like New Orleans, its very easy to argue that it shouldn't have been rebuilt but it was politically impossible for someone to be the voice of reason and state that certain areas of the city be reclaimed and no longer available for residential construction.

And that's a relatively poor city, What's going to happen when billionaires island and South Beach starts to continually flood and then slowly start to disappear?

We probably won't continue even at $2/user/mo, only about ~10 people use it and mostly just to post industry stories and/or press writings about our company.

For it to be viable (for us), they need to add in meetings a-la Google Hangouts, clone Slack, encourage employees to "Go Live" at events we do.
Considering the recall seems to be proactive it puts Tesla in a positive light.
Maxx, thanks for your response. So if I ask a developer how he/she would rewrite my .Net app into a web app, and he/she says "use Atom" I should run away fast. But if he/she says " I would use Kubernetes, Node, GraphQL, Redux, React. Fela, and styled components with React Native" I should feel confident that I asked the right questions and that his/her answer is a right way to proceed? I guess I am looking for a developer who suggests a common, middle of the road, generally acceptable approach rather than a highly complex multi-tool custom built personal favorite approach that nobody else ever heard of or can understand how to use. My situation appears to me to be a common business executive challenge....do you think that I am just too naive to understand how to vet/contract with a developer? I would appreciate any further thought you are willing to share. Thanks.
If done right it does no harm, but crappy damascus is brittle and prone to oxidation, and will drastically shorten the life of an otherwise functional cheap knife. Best to avoid it unless for the bling factor on a quality manufacture knife, or replica.

When I was shopping for a house in the Bay Area 3 years ago, my agent asked me if I was willing to consider Redwood Shores (which is built on fill and very close to the bay). One reason among several for saying "no" was the proximity to sea level.

I'm not worried that the next tsunami will swamp it, or that it will be (physically) underwater in my lifetime, or that nothing will be done to prevent slow rise from swamping the land.

I'm just simply unwilling to make a 30 year commitment to today's value, when I don't know what we'll know in 30 years. It's an absolute certainty that we'll know more in 10 years than we know now. When will that property become un-sellable? When will the value start being impacted? I'd guess sooner rather than later, and if that isn't until 2040, that's still way too soon for comfort -- particularly if I'm trying to retire then.

Its tough to know exactly, because I think schema transformation would be the most time-comsuming part and its hard to say exactly how that goes.

But once that's settled, for migrating your data, probably the most straight-forward manner would involve outputting to CSV and then using that to re-import to TimescaleDB. Then TimescaleDB would just fit into place where your Cassandra instance used to be.
How Does Combining Video Chat with Co-Browsing Increase Sales
Once you talk about moving to a different rendering engine for the UI, you're more or less talking about ripping out ¾ of the backend code or so anyways.

Right, but isn't the argument quite a few people are making here that moving to a different UI rendering engine doesn't seem to be obviously justified, given the goals of the project and its current situation? If the architecture is as inter-dependent and non-modular as your comments suggest, wouldn't that make changing significant parts of it even less likely to be successful?

At that kind of level, you might be better putting the whole project into legacy mode with emergency updates only, and just letting it carry on for as long as it's useful and then die of natural causes when the time is right. For the other goals mentioned in the original proposal we were talking about, if there's sufficient interest to support doing that much work then an entirely new project with no baggage at all seems like a safer and more realistic bet.
My skype account was hacked (who's wasn't?) a few months ago. I tried to access it to change the password but in the process I was forced to link it some other Microsoft account that I didn't even know I had. It took me half the day to recover my original passwords then reset them. Now to get to Skype (if I'm logged out) I have to log into some Microsoft cloud identity thing.

All for a service (skype) I rarely use.

Sebastian Thrun will tell anyone who will listen that he is sorry he got the self-driving car world hooked on LIDAR. He is 100% behind computer vision now. He would much rather use several $10 web cameras than multi-hundred dollar LIDARs.

NVIDIA is also betting on CV for self driving cars.

A monad is a mathematical abstraction. There's nothing special about Haskell that makes it work with monads. They work great in Javascript, C, Python... the syntax of those languages don't make it terribly easy to work with them but it's still available. You have to be disciplined since you don't have the type system checking your work for you but you still get the benefits of the abstraction.

I'm presently trying to make this a little better in my own team's codebase by trying to introduce Flow [0]. There are a lack of definitions for the monadic libraries we use which I'm presently remedying. It's not pretty -- and my kingdom for OCaml or GHC! -- but it's better than not having it.

Knowing the fundamentals will help you learn to structure code and think clearly about abstractions. It's the difference between merely using something and understanding how it works. In the latter case you have the power to exploit it.

Heh :) I've been in an EDA startup, done FPGA work, and I even have a tiny corner of silicon on a shipping IC. I have a draft for a "better verilog" sitting in a text file. Verilog and VHDL are stuck in the FORTRAN77 era.

I've no intention of taking it further than that, because the industry is extremely conservative and there's no money in programming languages.

(I agree that the FPGA-silver-bullet people are annoying. And that people need to realise that FPGA is not programming. But perhaps the tools could help a bit more with that.)
Knives stay sharp pretty easily, the trick is keeping the edge straight. Learn to use the stick that came with your crappy knife set and you will get a good year of daily use out of each sharpening. Additionally, keep your blade dry after cleaning to avoid pitting, which happens most rapidly on the edge.
Even more egregious than that:

> For quality control, I looked only at comments with Reddit score > 100

That's a non-trivial popularity score. Also, since it's an absolute score, it will bias against smaller subreddits, where 100 points on any comment is a difficult task.

This is much less "how people talk on reddit", and much more "the type of comment that gets upvotes on the default subreddits"
You should try Go. It writes quickly like Python, but it's much simpler and more performant. It's also statically typed so you don't have to search all over to figure out the real type of a parameter, etc. Finally, everything compiles into a single static binary, so you don't have to worry about having the right version of an interpreter or libraries installed on your system--just pass around the binary and run it! I also came to it by way of C++ and found it nice that any type can be passed around by value or by reference, unlike Python, Java, etc where everything is a reference and it's hard to tell what (if anything) will be stack allocated. http://tour.golang.org

I read architecture.md in the runtime package and it looks perfect for binding websocket updates into components. I was really hoping for the following example:

* create a stand-alone relay store

* query and subscribe to changes, print to console

* imperatively push updated records into store

* see updated data in console

I assume this is possible, but maybe it's not? Or you need a graphql server or container component?
The developer tools on Firefox Developer Edition(Aurora) are miles ahead on most things aside from the network view, to be fair. Just because they're not integrated into default firefox doesn't mean Chrome is the absolute best.
Maybe the non-ascii characters could be coloured somehow, like with a different colour background.

That way we could still show the real characters and not the punycode.

There aren't a lot of clinics that can do it, but proton therapy has emerged as another method for treating tumors by irradiating them. Unlike a beam of high energy photons (used in conventional radiotherapy), a proton beam can be tuned so that most of its radiation dose will be deposited at a specific depth. By contrast, a photon beam will deposit more energy at depths shallower than the target, and it will also deposit some energy at depths beyond the target.

The whole MS account management is a hot mess.

I'm currently dealing with an issue with different versions of the same (MS) software getting authenticated via a domain but ending up pointing at two different MS accounts associated with the same email address, and hence consuming two licenses. 2 weeks of "support" back and forth hasn't helped, they seem to have good tooling to introspect what is happening.
This, I can get behind
I read the article you posted.

The argument that "Americans don't want these jobs even when you up the wage and add benefits" is only supported by a couple of anecdotes from growers who have an interest in maintaining the supply of foreign laborers, and I don't think that is sufficient to make the point.

I would maintain that there is a wage at which a sufficient number of Americans would be willing to do farm labor. Whether that would raise the price of crops beyond what consumers are willing to pay for them is another question entirely.

As an aside, I'm not opposed to foreign workers in the US, but I do find the argument that they are needed because "there aren't any Americans who want to do this" to be a bit disingenuous.
