I agree that it would be neat, but I fear that the reason only big banks and credit card processors have attempted to dabble in this space is because you've just described a bank. Building one of those carries a whole host of regulations, even if the goal is a very simple, limited set of interactions.
If Mozilla manages to build a product based on Servo that kicks Electron's ass (safer, faster, cheaper to distribute, etc.), then I am not sure that Chrome cannot be beat (or be seriously challenged).

This Electron competitor would become very popular, and it could become the "entry drug" into Rust development (you would be able to do everything in HTML/CSS/JS but you would also have the option to code some parts in Rust, for more power), which would also grow the number of Servo contributors. With a large enough community, Servo-based Firefox could fight for a place at being the best browser (safest, fastest, full-featured).
Many ISPs offer a static IP. This is applicable for small businesses as well, and they almost certainly have one. Anyone with VPN on their router to access anything remotely has a way in.

There are difficulties in running a full mail server far beyond this. For example, many ISPs won't let you run one on anything below a high-level business plan without just blocking port 25 and friends at a firewall. Even if you can, many other mail servers will flag anything you send as likely junk mail if you're not running a well-known mail server yourself. For incoming mail, you need something that's going to be up 24/7/365 if you're going to give it as the MX for your domain, and you need to be constantly monitoring for security issues in real time, because if you're even a few hours late with the patch then you're probably running an open relay already and you just made every blacklist on the Internet.

Basically, if you're not big enough to have your own full time IT department, there are huge practical advantages to sending and receiving your mail via a dedicated SMTP server run by someone who does. These are completely unrelated to the usefulness of having a centralised mail store that can be used from anywhere on your network, or beyond if you provide a way in for remote access.
Arresting Julian Assange is a priority, says US attorney general Jeff Sessions
I wasn't saying pixel level creation. I just said target resolution creation. In general, you design the screen you want. Using tools that let you draw, with the constraint that it is at the resolution you desire.

Am I saying that vector graphics are not desirable? No. Just saying that that is a by product of the tool. If you are making something that can scale up perfectly, great. Most graphics don't. Pretty much period.
Schoolmarms hate him!
They are rewriting Firefox out of any relevance. They had a distinct product with unique features. It has been loosing uniqueness, usability and mindshare ever since they began shadowing everything the Google guys did. Now they're going all in, turning the thing into a functional Chrome clone. Once the user base drops below a certain percentage, there will be no point for anyone in sponsoring the show any longer.

Me, I was a loyal user since the Phoenix days. I have recently Firefox. It is not unusable yet, but it will be in about half a year.
Not an automatic update but it is in the standard repo as linux-image-aws. But new AMIs come with the AWS kernel by default.
It takes far more energy to create a big mac than to nuke one.
In my experience, everything is easy if you DON'T try to learn it using analogies and metaphors.
I agree, however IB in since 8.2 (I believe) is bearable. Still annoying that they move the constraints around when you click them..

> point is it shouldn't take nine years to fix an app-breaking bug

It depends on priorities, obviously. That bug was fixed in various cases that were most-commonly hit (e.g. translate-only transforms) much earlier than now. Fixing it in the scale case more or less required completely rewriting how <select> is implemented, and there was always other stuff that needed to get done that was a bigger problem in practice.

I'm not saying this is good, obviously; it would be great if there were more people working on Gecko bugs and triage were not so critical. But there weren't and it was. I'm sorry that it's caused you problems; I'll see if I can get some progress to happen on the option label thing.

> Could you specify some issues you ran into on Chrome that affected user space this directly

Off the top of my head, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=352144 is a pretty glaring CSS layout bug. Is that direct enough?

Or how about https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=269500 which has been around forever (it existed in WebKit long before Chrome was even announced)?

Or https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=353580

Or https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=286672

Note that all these bugs were filed in the WebKit bug system for a while before I went and refiled them in the Blink bug system after Blink forked off from WebKit. So they are much older than the dates you see on those reports.
> Microsoft is terrible at picking good proper nouns for products.

I wonder if there's a sort of internal fighting for each team to squat on the "best" names for their product or service. Basically a Dilbertian confusopoly [0] where the goal is to make your project sound like "the obvious choice" regardless of its merits, with "Microsoft" on the front as the only way it stops being impossible to trademark.

I imagine other large companies struggle with this as well, although Amazon seems to have taken to the other extreme [1].

How custom can you get with the hourly machines? The order page (without logging in) looks like you have to pick a ram size (and they don't go beyond 256GB), and you can only go up to 4 disks. That said, I know the order page for monthly has maximum ram sizes listed below some of the monthly machines I manage, so maybe the hourly page is a simplified version of the truth too.

> say about 12% market share

12% of desktop, ~5-6% of total. 3 years ago it was ~18% of total, there is certainly a consistent downward trend in usage.
Yeh, this always seemed doomed outside the US, which in general appears to be ahead of the US for card security. Especially in AU, I don't even really go to bars with cash any more, I just use contactless payment with my card literally everywhere. Coffee, lunch, bars, etc. - pretty much everywhere has paypass/paywave now and has for years.

Even three years ago, the writing was surely on the wall that they were exploiting weaknesses in old tech to pull off their product, so there was an obvious sunset on their ability to operate their core product. Why would they invest in something that already has an end date on it?
You're missing the point - they make most of their profit from rent, not burgers.
Sometimes data is not beautiful, but very ugly. These results are based on a flawed premise. One red flag -- where is the word "dank" in your list? Where are words used by people who actually smoke weed? Also, is "where score > 100" a good heuristic for this kind of study? I would argue that "where score < 100" is a better heuristic.

For example, a shill or superuser (people getting top comment) will not be using domain specific language -- they will be using language that caters to a general audience. If this is true, you would end up squeezing most of the interesting language out of your study. Have you been to Grass City forums? I am guessing these people surely aren't using terms like "Donald Trump" in their everyday conversations about weed.

Reddit is a huge melting pot and probably isn't a good place for insight about potheads. Grass City might not be either -- Grass City users are not typical potheads. The best place would be 10th grade high school social circles and college dorms. It really is amazing how little data is produced by social networks, in the grand scheme of things. We are all so used to hearing about how much data is produced by the internet. There are orders more data in the raw world just waiting to be scooped up.
There's one critical step this leaves out though:

0) Pick a domain with significant costs/regulation/other barriers to entry.

Otherwise your beautifully designed and documented API is a blueprint for developers to go off and build it themselves to avoid you as a middle-man. Unless there is some downside to that, it's just a matter of time until it happens.

The reason the likes of Stripe and Twilio don't lose their business to open source or cut rate clones is that they're doing huge amounts of work that it isn't easy to replicate. (PCI compliance and security for payment processing, hardware and interfacing w/ telcos for SMS)
Easier solution: don't commit private keys.

Viva el Ecuador!

Julian Assange is a national hero and does not deserve, at the very least, to rot in an American prison.

May Ecuador continue to provide him safe keeping.

And may all the UK citizens out there elect a government that won't extradite him should he need to leave!!

I'd love for there to be pure technical discussion however the development of most of the major cryptos boil down to political bickering at this point. What a sorry state of affairs :(
Good lord. I somehow took (and passed!) a year of high school calculus plus a semester in college, and I never had a good sense for the word "Integral" in a math context as anything but arbitrary jargon. And I've spent a not-tiny amount of time with BetterExplained's calculus. 30 seconds with this book and it's obvious. Now I'm making connections with the French (of which I have barely any, but any port in a storm) and it's solid in my mind.

Well. Now I have to read the whole thing I guess.
The more pseudonymous shill hate-posts that get made the faster the jerks funding people to attack like this run out of funds. I celebrate everyone one of them.

One of the comments in that medium blog puts it right:

Absolutely ridiculous. What's the charge here? It's not illegal for third parties to disclose factual information about the government. If it was, the staff at almost every newspaper would be thrown in jail on a daily basis.

There is no concept of a journalist license. Wikileaks for better or worse is as legally engaged in journalism as anyone else. Any attempt to deny this by comparing them to large established news organizations is just an appeal to authority.

I get that a lot of people don't like them now because of their garbage politics, but are we seriously prepared to throw away protection of journalists for this? Who's next, Glenn Greenwald?
I watched those lectures in the early stages of my degree and, to confirm what you've stated, they helped me gain a more concrete understanding of the fundamentals of calculus. Highly recommended! Thanks for sharing.
Could you explain how using the features of a product is "doing it wrong"? The only thing wrong would be the bugs in the features themselves.
Honestly, I agree with you.

Its true what the op says that there are people that naturally want to share and mentor what they do. Now that you can easily find them or that there are signs of it you can find as a stranger..

Im running a b2b business, and even though i have personal contacts in the area, im frequently stonewalled to even start a basic conversation, let alone a product sales one.
Wow, look at all the responses and downvotes. More privileged assholes with money to burn feel it's fine to spend $10 on a meal and just throw it away. Just because there is so must waste doesn't mean that you have to behave like you don't know the value of money.
I agree. With the caveat that I'm not a vim power user, the IdeaVim plugin has worked well for me. It doesn't have everything, but I haven't encountered any annoying bugs while using it. Plus, IntelliJ / WebStorm do a lot of really powerful and convenient things. It has been a nice compromise.
Very interesting bug. C: unsafe at any competence or security awareness level. Fuzzing: will bang on your assumptions with brute force. Excellent exploitability analysis too.

Also interesting continuum in memory exfiltration bugs, re earlier CloudFlare visibility wrt Hartbleed and the recent inhouse parser infoleak bug.
Can you file these bugs at crbug.com?
Oh sure, I wasn't intending to comment on the NP-hardness but only on the accuracy of the approximation in practice.

There is a lovely paper disproving the all-public-information efficient market hypothesis, assuming computationally bound actors by showing how to embed market inefficiency into a set of trades that can only be removed by solving a NP-hard problem. :)
I would argue that today ironically the chance of Ethereum forking again due to a poorly written contract is much lower than it was a year ago. Many lessons were learned and the community is much larger. Also many people who supported the Dao fork, would be against the fork today, because there is no more excuse that "we are early and we don't know how to write secure contract code".
no that was Calculus for the practical man

The fact that you work in a "9 figure web hosting company" might be a cue of why you can start a conversation, because of the brand of a company. Im sure Airbnb can get into a broker house any day to have a chat. Do you think it would be easy for you to walk into Uber in the next few days and someone tell you what you should be building that they would buy?

Im honestly asking, i do b2b, please tell me some secrets :)
I've never heard of Fluid before, but it seems to be a glorified shortcut with minor features such as notification badges. I really can't tell how this can integrate with Electron at all.

Electron would have you write a web app and package it as an app installed to your Applications folder just like any native app. You'll write this code in JS, HTML, CSS and use Electron APIs.

Fluid also would have you write this in JS, HTML, CSS but use Fluid APIs instead. The two compete for the same role in that sense.

Could you explain a little more? I have not heard any credible evidence to support this theory.
You're really obsessed with projecting your own sexpatism onto me, to the point where you are parsing what I'm saying to the most literal sense in order to paint the picture you have in your head.

Instead of arguing the topic, you keep on shifting the argument to ad hominem attacks. Why? It seems to me like you are projecting hard-core.

Since it's so important to you, just to clear the air, I've never employed the services of a prostitute and while I've wandered into red-light districts, I've never explicitly sought them out.

My comparison of sex scenes in different countries is based on a mix of what I've personally witnessed, anecdotes from others that I trust, and of course, the internet.

In Thailand specifically, the sex industry is everywhere. Not, prostitutes propositioning you everywhere, but definitely tell tale signs. Just google "the sex industry is everywhere in Thailand" to see pages of links to first-hand accounts attesting to this VERY FACT. Even your point about TripAdvisor is #fakenews, plenty of TripAdvisor users complaining about it. You're not doing yourself any favors in credibility department by being so willfully ignorant. See the posters on this thread that attest to this fact.

This is similar across greater SE Asia - at least where I've personally visited in Cambodia and Vietnam - but it's especially prevalent in Thailand.

> You demonstrate zero respect or genuine concern for Thai women by referring to them in creepy sexualised terms like "young, lithe girls".

I regret my choice of words. I was trying to paint an exaggerated picture for effect. You keep bringing this up, I suspect because its an easy argument to make and because it distracts from the broader point, that the sex industry is pretty disgusting, especially in third world developing countries.

> Not only have you not posted one word condemning sexual exploitation by Thai men or other Asians, who make up the vast bulk of tourists to Thailand - instead repeatedly and exclusively talking about "Westerners" - you have actually argued that sexual exploitation by non-Westerners is somehow "different" (a belief you have been unable to explain or expand upon).

Did I condone sexual exploitation by locals? All sexual exploitation is wrong. Period. Your whole argumentative shtick is projection, attacking straw man, and attacking snippets taken out of context.

And yes, sexual exploitation / tourism by westerners is _different_. Do you really fail to see the economic and racial (and colonial) aspects? They are not so subtle! Or are you being willfully ignorant because it makes you feel better about your trips to SE Asia to "bike the countryside"?
His story hasn't come to an end yet. He will definitely end up losing more than he gained at the end. Google isn't taking this too lightly. They'll make an example out of him.
thats exactly whats going on. http://ritholtz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2011.06.27_or...

Branding teams and divisions are getting in the way of coherence and usability. I think ONE of the worst right now is the OneDrive vs SharePoint back and forth. First they were kind of hiding the SharePoint name, and renaming everything onedrive. SharePoint Workspace, formerly Microsoft Office Groove, became OneDrive for Business (because it was the client sync tool, not a server.) Now its making a comeback and certain things are "not" OneDrive, such as 'Office 365' Groups '''SharePoint 'Team Site'' 'Document Libraries''

At least in the Mail world the divide MOSTLY makes sense. Outlook is the Client, Exchange is the server. Yes, the OWA web/javascript client streams from the server and renders in your browser, but otherwise the divide is mostly intact. You NEVER see an Exchange app, and you rarely see the word outside the content of "connect to this server." The SharePoint branding team on the other hand cant handle being the server only and has now forced a SharePoint app that is like some bastardized fork of the OneDrive app. They mostly do the same thing, but not quite. Microsoft needs to draw a line and say "OneDrive = Client, SharePoint = Server" and try and not cross it. The OneDrive web client should be an interface that streams from the SharePoint server to your browser.

I wish they would have left 'Lync' as the "server" to the various clients.
Well, I guess I should give up on recycling and get a gas-guzzling car because doing my share isn't going to make a difference. Maybe I should rob a bank because banks are being robbed everyday. The author could have saved it for later or heated it in a microwave because he spent good money for it.
Well, entrepreneurs are humans, not robots, and humans have this instinct to help each other. At least here in Germany I hear from time to time about (SME) businesses helping their competitors.
So I really like it... but...

It makes really blurry photos. Every photo I take looks like someone turned the pixelate filter on.

Any suggestions... I'm doing this at night with lights on... will try it tomorrow during the day to see if more light is the answer.

EDIT: The photos I get back aren't only blurry, compared to photos I take with my phone camera, but they are about 2/3rds the size. iPhone 6S... I'd rather it take a bit longer on the compile and get me a better quality image.

The whole point of cooking food is to denature proteins and kill pathogens. Denatured proteins have exactly the same nutritional content as functional proteins: they're just not folded into their original and potentially dangerous shape anymore.
Your 'standard' bottled water bottle is more like 15 grams[1], so to use that metric we're talking 6 to 35 bottles per square kilometre.

Personally I'm more concerned about these plastics getting into my food than I am about whether they'll support my chair. We're going to have serious ecological issues long before these garbage patches become visible - or floatable.

Personally, my biggest issue is getting vim to work the same way on multiple platforms. I have a mac at work and alternate between windows and linux at home. Each of those has been slightly different than the others. To some extent, yes, once you have the config set you can just leave it alone and be fine. But for me, switching to a full IDE has made life easier.
Treating every cause is better than treating every symptom. But that is not practical.

In at least WA, NSW, QLD and ACT you can go on time-of-use residential tariffs.

Just a side note, off topic: I was that king off person who had a shelf in my house with 300 printed books (and some more stored in boxes in the basement).. it was always a pain when I had to move to a new apartment!
After the e-books and pdfs came by we got a lot of flexibility .. now it's easy to have 3000 volumes in the hard disk. You can literally carry a library with you..
I ended up giving away most of them, apart if some classics (e.g. The art of computer programming from Knuth, Operating Systems, from Tanenbaum, and some other classics for image processing..)
The only thing I miss very much is that I loved the feeling of picking up one at random and expend a couple of hours ... I just can not have the same feeling with e-books.. :(
