Ok, but given the starting premise, "what's a pledge that we can coerce companies into signing?", what would you shoot for, instead?

To me, the bit where companies would need to agree to not implement backdoors into encryption protocols is actually pretty meaningful. You know that the evil shitfuck companies like Palantir are not going to sign on with that clause in place, but they weren't going to listen, anyways.

If Facebook signs on, though, it could actually be a toothy, verifiable commitment.

Why is a terminal emulator slow at all? Why aren't they subject to the same "give me 60hz or die" prejudice as games?

I wonder if someone should setup benchmarks against an actual Wyse green-screen terminal.
Even when having no social media accounts is suspicion in itself. You can't win.

I'm calling bullshit on this story. I can't find any reports of TSA conducting these types of cavity searches. Ever.
Well:

A) - Full HD video conferencing for ~ 100 people is not cheap. At all. Bandwidth costs alone would be huge.
B) - For teams that work together remotely, it is very important for them to meet in person from time to time. Communication issues drop when you can put a face and personality to a name on IRC / email. (and no, this is not achieved via video calls)
It's rational - it's for the greater good.
Are you sure you know what Saas marketing is?
Even those who are not interested in marketing and sales come up with Saas, cloud marketing or software on demand. But a few of us understand the conception of Saas business. Often I am asked this question – what area is you involved in, what is a branch of your activity? And when I try to explain it sometimes (or even very often) people cannot understand me.
In this regard I wondered – what if not only my mansion is uninformed about this sphere of business. I've try to search some information, but all I can see searching the internet were obscure formulations and unclear definitions. So my company decided to give light on this question. Even if you are aware of Saas marketing - do you know differences between outbound and offline marketing? Why can too many leads affect your business badly? Why marketing and advertising are not synonyms? Get interested?:) This article is waiting for you)

Not really a fair statement given the oddities of the electoral college. I know a lot of people in big coastal cities (New York, Boston, LA, San Fransisco, Seattle) who don't vote but are very anti-Trump. They know it doesn't matter because their states were always going to go strongly for the Democrats.

"Those are the rules for democracy, so he is the legitimately elected president."

Absolutely according to the rules in force in the USA. Other countries have different rules, and I don't think that there is some set of unique 'best rules' for this.

UK tomorrow many of us are voting for the mayors of 'combined authorities'. The voting paper has two columns for each candidate and you get to state a first preference and a second preference - they call it the supplimentary voting system

It will be 'interesting' to see how this one works in an election that noone especially wanted and that traditionally has a very low turnout - but at least we are trying different approaches.

There is a major difference here between publicly held renewable resources and non-renewable resources.

For renewable resources, all that needs to be done is preventing a 'tragedy of the commons' and keeping the land open to most people.

However, for non-renewable resources, whomever gets it is effectively taking it from the public. It is then important that the public is compensated for this loss.
Dark times when even good old AMD is doing anti-consumer crap. I don't even get how this is helping their cause against Intel. They could have simply not done the stupid things Intel is doing and carved a niche. But this is just showing they want to be another Intel, not a better Intel.
I'll have to give it another look but the killer missing feature for me is windowing functions. They don't exist in SQLite when I looked at it last (within the last 6 months or so).

The callbacks on datachange are nice. They sound similar to change data capture in SQLServer.
I imagine the major costs are their living expenses. They've sold their house and cars, but still need somewhere to live, they'll still need to travel and of course eat.

Additional costs could be through marketing, not sure if they're doing paid ads? Or simply the costs of travelling to events and investors to pitch it?

I've never much considered accelerationism to be a practical concern but Kansas makes me wonder if perhaps it's the way forward.

Tried it again today, replacing urxvt+zsh for an hour or so. Most of these problems are probably due to the fact they use a custom shell:

- ctrl-r (history search) just reloads the electron window and clears everything [0]

- does not work with virtualenv (bin/activate just messes up the shell to the point where even `ls` stops working – `Black Screen: command "ls" not found.`) [1]

- weird tab completion

- none of the "advanced" shell features work over ssh (well, that's expected, since ssh starts a standard bash/zsh/whatever shell on the server)

- had to install bunch of additional npm deps [2] to make it start on Linux

- `tmux` is less broken that it used to be when i first tried it, but still not without any problems, same for `htop` and `vim`

- it reports that some built-in commands are present, but they don't work at all (eg. print, source) [3]

Plus it's kinda slow. Terminals are hard.

If there is shown to be a demand for this kind of terminal UX, someone may well write a native version of it. Possibly it will push some of the existing terminal emulator projects to add new features, or someone will fork one of them.

Either way, it's nice to have options, and it's nice to see innovation, and if Electron makes it easier to innovate we should be glad of that.
Given the phrase "rush hour" exists in the English language, I think they can only reduce congestion by sharing over the whole day if workplaces are successfully encouraged to shift their starting hours away from the usual 9-5 (or 9-5:30 as it seems to be). This will, of course, also work for human-driven cars.

Yes tremendously. Even if we just burn gasoline at power plants they are still much more efficient. When you start to add in renewables as a source of power for EVs the environmental impact is tremendous. Buy an EV for your next car if you can.
I'm not suggesting that at all. I'm saying this project would likely not exist in any form without Electron. If the ideas expressed within are successful enough, realistically speaking people would either:

1. continue using it despite the footprint
2. merge similar ideas into other emulators
3. fork and rewrite in whatever the next paradigm for expressive UI apps is (with hopefully a smaller footprint)
Welcome to come to China to make business meetings :)
Agree. Hunting is not uncommon in Europe. I spent time in Southern France recently and on weekend mornings frequently heard guns going off as hunters went after birds, saw their cars and dogs, etc.
30 years later and many terminals still don't protect against sneaky code execution, just to give one example. It seems time doesn't fix everything.
Because they make a ton of cash right now using old systems.

Why change?

Sure they email but anything that may be brought o bear needs ink on it. They don't see things through a prism of 'making the system better'
I had a mate in NSW (Australia) who got a DUI, He had too show up to court for it, so he decided to turn up himself because he didn't have the cash for a solicitor and he planned to throw himself at the mercy of the court.
It didn't work out so well, he got absolutely spanked for not having legal representation. And i think that was wrong, Sure throw the book at him for being and idiot and driving while pissed but 'showing the court disrespect' by representing himself is crazy.

When you consider that laws of the people are for the people. it drives me mad to see decisions go to a higher authority to be considered and decided. Laws are vague but they don't have to be. our legislators really fall down when they don't explicitly define in parliment a use case of the law side by side with it inception.
You could say that ~70% of the voters did not try to prevent him becoming president.

I've traveled from Zürich to Los Angeles on Good Friday (April 14, 2017) for leisure - my first visit since February 2016 and thus my first trip to Trump's 'murrica.

I was joined with my dad who recently retired and never has left the continent - his first long haul flight and first time to the US.

I feared and prepared for the worst and I even was debating about leaving my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air at home to avoid any searches.

It turned out to become the smoothest immigration ever: We stood at the curb waiting for the car rental bus within 45 minutes after we stepped out of the plane.

Short lines, smoothly working self-service kiosks, a friendly immigration officer, not one single intimidating or aggressive question.

Way to go!
Judging by the narrative the media is putting out one would think that Poland is a nightmare patriarchal state where rape victims are denied abortion and politicians agree that woman should be paid less because they are too 'small, weak and unintelligent' for equal pay.

Be more critical. Traveling to the US is a breeze for Europeans.
There's a documentary called Workingman's Death about the worst jobs in the world: not in an amusing Mike Rowe way, but jobs that are backbreaking, pay a pittance and regularly kill in horrible ways. And there's no commentary, no soundtrack, just unstaged video footage, ambient sounds, and people talking about their jobs and why they do it.

One of the segments, Brothers, is about the Gadani shipbreaking yards in Pakistan: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xr722r_working-man-s-death-...

The other episodes are worth watching too, particularly the Indonesian sulphur mine and the Nigerian butchery. The first of these is also a tourist attraction, and they film tourists doing it for kicks while the workers talk about seeing their friends make a single misstep, fall into a sulphur pit and boil to death in front of their eyes.
There's also voters who regret voting trump and voters who say they would switch from Hillary to trump.
i think its an improvement over real prostitution for sure. also it kind of negates some of the power women have over men.

isn't it better if women are not put at risk of stds, no human trafficking et cetera? i could buy a sex doll or even go to such a place but i would never go to a whore.
In reality. Yup.
No, the point is, depending on the rules of the game, people vote differently. E.g. under the current system it makes no sense for republicans in NY and CA to vote... If the popular vote actually counted, the popular vote would be different (it's like quantum mechanics applied to psychology - if people know that you observe them, they change their behaviour)!
Same here; LAX on April 14. Smoothes immigration ever since I've been flying to the us (since June 2001). Positively surprised.

I've been thinking of electric bikes recently. The problem is, I would like to have some extra speed (thus range) with less sweat, in exchange for the price & weight & need to charge batteries. In fact, it sounds just amazing. But in Finland, electric assist is legally limited to operate at no more than 25 km/h. That's slower than my normal cycling pace. What a way to ruin a great idea.
I don't know if you mean to but its kinda funny that you sound like one of the witch hunters! Being transracial doesn't seem hard to understand to me. It just seems vapid and antagonistic.

For Debian/Ubuntu there are always backports and PPAs.

+1 to that, landing page is beautiful, another +1 for choosing Iceland <3
Yeah, implementing a new terminal emulator (and a custom shell!) is pretty rough going. I've heard the idea expressed that it's hard to get programmers to use a new code editor, even if you have a killer feature, because they need to see every feature that's ever been implemented in every old editor before they'll switch. Reminiscent of Light Table.
Oh that is great news! I love visiting the US but have passed up on several opportunities to travel there this year just because it seems like such a hassle. Still, I am about to make the trip for a work conference. Even though I know the majority of people go through without incident I am still nervous about having an experience like one of those news stories.

I don't believe you. I don't believe that if I walk into an Applebee's in Modesto, the "Men" and "Women" signs on the bathrooms are both replaced with "All Gender." Ditto for multi-stall bathrooms in, say, a courthouse.
Why exactly would this be the case? As far as I can see most people don't live in this two cities?

And saying the US system "was designed to avoid the concentration of power" sounds like a sad joke from an European perspective (First-past-post-system, extreme presidential powers etc.)

In common^W my sense, controller is a thing that rules the views in a non-data plane. E.g. in master-detail scheme someone has to switch detail datasets once user selects new master row. Controller is the one responsible, cause data has no knowledge of how it is presented — master-detail vs. tree-unfold vs. edit-dialog. Controller emerges from the fact that a single data item can be presented on many different forms with different behavior rules. The last sentence is pretty straightforward on that.

Not voting because of being in a red/blue state seems to happen to both parties. A change to the voting system would probably change behavior and (hopefully) increase voter turnout in general. :)
No need ever? Taking a 350 mile trip to grandma's with the spouse, an infant (and all the infant paraphernalia), a toddler, and dog is still best done with a fossil fuel vehicle today.

it's not random check, it's called profiling

i don't see why people have problem with this, what would be point randomly search old (white) retired woman, what risk she present? pretty much same goes for Eastern Asians, etc.

if you have biggest odds finding terrorist between dark skinned Muslims, then you will search them the most, nothing random or racist about that, it's like saying i won't take umbrella outside when there is 90% chance of rain because there is 10%chance it will be sunny
Beware the effects of incident lighting on colour perception. As a human, you do a lot of processing you're not even aware of to normalise the colours you perceive. Cameras cannot do this (without calibration), so if the incandescent/flourescent/daylight/sunlight mix and intensity is different in the store to your house, you could end up with a very different shade.
There are tons of commentaries like that, and there is nothing wrong with it. Also, US is like second biggest visiting destination in the world, and of course they don't want to scare everyone. So, all of these dreadful stories are true, but they are just a drop in the ocean.

The problem here is a possibility. The mere necessity to think about it, to possibly sweat in the line, to think about what have I erased or not, makes it bad. First of all, you are not treated with a dignity. Second of all, without precautions, you easily can be embarrassed (many people don't care and keep really private info, like messages or photos on their phone). And the last – there is a small, but a possibility that you'll fuck up a little, and you will be detained. It is a small chance, but it presents, and it is not a pleasant thought.

Some of the Canadian international airports have the same pre-clearance arrangement. But I've not found the security check people any "friendlier".

In any case they're currently working out an agreement with Canada such that US agents on Canadian soil can still detain you in the same way they can in the US:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pre-clearance-border-canada-...

I'm sure they'll try to force the same agreement on other "trading partners."

Result for me: I will not travel to U.S. except for work. And when I do I will _only_ carry work devices and accounts. My employer can and will defend itself quit well.

We applied online for the visa thing. It took under 5 minutes. Then at the airport we queued up at immigration for around 10 minutes. We showed our passport and answered one question about purpose of visit, and they waved us though.

This is the experience of 99.9% of those who visit.
