Another example to add for "shady", for a long time Netflix used to push shows you'd watched to the end in your "continue watching" show to prompt you to watch them again, which could easily be mistaken for "the show actually has new episodes".

They did fix that though, i think.
I'd wait for the forking model to be fixed[1]. The current model can be really annoying when you have a large project where contributors are supposed to direct merge requests to deputies before merging with the main repository.

Am I the only one who thinks gitlab is a poor product?

They upgrade every week. Who the hell does that to paying customers? And half of their website functionality doesn't work when they upgrade -- but their upgrade-banner always says "no down time is expected". It is a running joke in my company.

We constantly get error 500 during upgrades. Merge requests don't commit. Rebase feature didn't work till a few weeks back. Gitlab runners get stuck every now and then. I use it everyday because of company policy, but folks, Gitlab is a really poor product. Feels like they test their product on paying customers.

Also, do they even know how good their competition is at? You can't see the what is changed in response to your comment between two MR uploads. You can't add comments on unchanged parts of the code in the diff-view. You can't add comments when you view the diff between two uploads of an MR. My list of complaints is endless.
Not to mention they weren't 'people'.
You're right. In the middle class, the relationship isn't as distinguished. Usually, the salary really is just an "allowance", like the author stated. Other families already consider feeding the help & providing a roof for them as their salary.
I think that there are a bunch of ways that you could make this very difficult for teenage idiots to manage, and if you're talking well-funded, highly competent state actors, they probably don't want to do terror attacks like this (and if they did, they could probably cause comparable harm today. Always remember how easy it would be to get a few sticks of dynamite into most US trains or subways).
I'm not sure if a stronger focus on git/GitHub is a step into the right direction for Atom users. I'd strongly recommend to provide a choice. Why not other VCSs, why not other platforms?

Go ahead and take all these low paying, blue collar, manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. China does not want them. You can assemble your own iPhones.

I would like to see a real study that says people are comfortable with level 5 autonomy. When I ask my 40 something friends their response is "no way". And these are engineers. So maybe a generational thing. It's not that there won't be adoption - but to say you will have sea-change style adoption?

People who write these reports seem to be ignorant of the diversity of the automobile owning public. Does no one live in suburbia or have kids? The idea of sharing a car just doesn't make sense. it's part home / workshop / storage area. Maybe innovation solves this. Your rental minivan will dump its pod of crap at your house when it drops you off and picks it up when you call it.

Yes, if you live in a dense area this stuff makes great sense. But how do you deal with these use cases:

It's fun to think of numbers that way, but on the other hand, many of those 12k are not employees that were here when construction started, and likewise many of the employees that were around at the beginning of construction are gone.

I think it's a bit excessive for a universally known company but I get the idea of wanting a monument. Having moved from Houston to Silicon Valley, I remember being mildly disappointed by for example Google's campus. Like, it's just a regular old office campus. Nice, of course! Very nice, next to shoreline ampitheater, lots of trees, etc. But, I mean, it's Google. Was I expecting rocketships? Maybe! I dunno. I certainly was expecting something other than just... a campus.
Given where China was in the 1970s they've progressed rapidly. The situation there is much better on average than it was when Mao was in power. Both in terms of economic freedom and political freedom.

Currently they are making major investments into cleaning up the environment. They've tried to limit population growth. They've invested tremendously in public transportation. None of these things the U.S. is doing right now.

Currently the U.S. government argues that is can kill American citizens without trial (as long as they are overseas), imprisons people without trial, silences reporters, imprisons a higher percentage of it population than China, wages war in multiple countries, and massively pollutes and consumes more than its fair share of resources.

Yes, though it's an additional design constraint in the already-heavily-design-constrained space of EVs. Whether it will happen will probably depend heavily on a host of surrounding factors about how much EV technology increases and how much of the transportation market share rides-for-hire increases to.

People are down voting you but the cold hard truth is you can maintain a healthy weight by diet alone. No amount of excerise is going to offset eating a whole pizza and cheeseburgers everyday unless you're training at Olympic athlete levels.

You aren't going to put on weight or maintain an unhealthy weight if you aren't eating excess calories.
I hear you on that. It's why I'm holding high hopes for CochroachDB. Otherwise, ain't no chance I can have this kind of DB. However, there is opportunity for strong consistency in a cluster in small area just distant enough to reduce cascading failures. A project might build a VMS-style, clustering system for that integrated with FOSS database. Could exist but DB subfield is too flooded for me to track.
This is great. I hope they're able to stay on top of other things like cpu usage and general bug fixes while they add these new features. On OSX it hovers around 20% cpu while idle.
Alex Tizon built an exemplary career by listening to certain types of people—forgotten people, people on the margins, people who had never before been asked for their stories. [...]

The idea that one could "pay a little more for manufactured goods" to retain "world leadership, a high standard of living, and control [of] their own destiny" is not necessarily true. It assumes that other nations cannot progress without our economic input.

Now, I'm not saying that the opposite is true, either. It's enough of a nuanced issue that I can't give a good or complete explanation. But "protectionism ==> prosperity" is a hotly debated issue and not necessarily true (or false).

Any rough timeline on when multiple regions will be available?

Republicans currently get slightly less than half of the popular vote -- compared to Democrats who also get slightly less than half of the popular vote. Hillary Clinton didn't have a majority of the popular vote in 2016, she had 48% compared to Trump's 46%.

And some of the highest population states (California, Texas, New York) are immutable for both parties in the electoral college. If you put the votes there in play it would completely change the nature of the campaigns.

> That's why gerrymandering and lack of facts are vastly larger issues on one side.

Don't be partisan. The Republicans lie, the Democrats lie. The common "women make 77% of what men make" is a lie; that number doesn't account for different occupations or hours worked. Any healthcare plan that doesn't reduce the revenue of healthcare companies is not going to reduce the cost of healthcare; both parties are equally guilty of that. Nearly every statistic you hear in politics on both sides is inaccurate or taken out of context, and the Democrats are especially egregious about this with respect to intersectional politics.

And gerrymandering is what the party with a legislative majority does every time the census comes in. This time it happens that mostly Republicans were in power when the lines were drawn, but don't pretend the other party wouldn't or hasn't done the same thing when it's their turn.

No. Cars makes 15% of your employees angry in the morning because it's a passive-agressive activity; It makes them more expensive because they need a better car to demonstrate social status; It makes them lose time because decreasing the density of the city makes picking the kids from school a multi-mile epic; and it literally gives them cancer. Did I mention obesity?

A proper urbanist would have put the HQ on top of a hub of subway or tram lines, and you bet the managers' houses would be sorted by rank along the stations, the cleaning contractor being at the last station, as opposed to the current situation (richest farthest in the outback).

Of course, if you want happy productive employees within walking distance of their office, you don't build a centralized 15,000-job building with no residential area intersticed, so whoever signed off for such a building wouldn't understand walking distances, tram lines or subways.

And would certainly die from cancer.

It's because "I don't see a single feature in Screenhero that others don't have."

Which is just incorrect. Screenhero has interactive screen sharing while the others don't. Or course he qualified it with "I don't see.." however, that tells me that he never used Screenhero and thus really doesn't have much credibility when critiquing it.

Express all the opinions you want, but they ought to be based on facts.

I sincerely hope China doesn't follow Japan's trajectory. It has a large military and strong authoritarian, nationalist tendencies. Japan's conservatives certainly would have liked to "war" their way out of stagnantion (Abe Shinzo is still trying to do this), but their right to a military was largely dissolved as a client state of the US post-WWII.

No such checks exist on China.
Yep. IIRC one of the Snowden documents even mentioned GCHQ and other organisations using Tor for their own purposes.
> have managed to piss off most of their neighbors (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, India, etc)

Just like how the US is not pissing off its neighbours right now with treats to dissolve NAFTA? Or how the US wants to build a border wall and make their neighbour pay for it, even though they end up with no say in things like who will build it or how much it will cost?

Yes. The US is doing a stellar job of things. Not a single bad thing to speak of...

It's inexcusable because it's expected that the housemaid gets his/her own private area. Remember, they are employees, and their job is to maintain the household. They are not "homeless" people skulking around the house.

I've lived in a country where live-in housemaids are quite widespread and this kind of behavior would definitely be out of the ordinary, especially among more affluent families. Yes, worse things can happen to housemaids, but I'm talking about the general case.

What about faster charge tech? While infrastructure and technology improve, people will likely time breaks like lunch around charge when doing these kind of trips. E.g 350 kms in the morning, have a 90% charge over lunch. Another 300kms. Have a 15 min coffee for an extra 50% charge that takes you through to dinner charge if you want to keep going. Thats a bunch of kms. And batteries/range will probably be even better than that 10 years from now.
The assumption in the premise, though, is that these people would get better jobs than they have now, and therefore offset some increases in costs.
Phew, thank you. I'm just a stranger on the internet, but i'm immensely grateful that you're planning to investigate this.
Sure, literally, yes, the word "mathematics" is not an -ology; it isn't a discipline concerned chiefly with carving up reality and giving words to the results.

I was just trying to highlight the fact that mathematics as an institution is a process of building up share-able symbolic abstractions; of inventing a "language" one new word at a time.

I'm using "language" here, and above, to refer not to the words used to discuss mathematics (the... "mathematology" of math), but rather to the thing that includes objects like mathematical operators (e.g. "+", "⨯", "∫", "⇒") as its "words." Not the language about mathematics, but rather the language that is mathematics: the ever-growing set of abstract tools with symbolic handles which we've constructed to allow us to manipulate other concepts inside our heads, in rigorous ways where you can trust that if you and another mathematician do the same named mental 'move' to the same source concept, you will both arrive at the same destination concept as a result.

For a cute analogy: you can think of a martial art as a vocabulary of known, precise body movements, that can be taught. You can think of mathematics as a vocabulary of known, precise mental movements, that can be taught. Yes, this makes mathematics an art; but, equivalently, this makes a martial art a language.

To sum up:

• Mathematics is itself a (formal) language. It doesn't really fit in the category of words like "biology"; it fits more in with words like "logic" or "C++".

• To say that someone is "doing" Mathematics just means that they are using that language to achieve a goal; it's about the same as saying that someone is "doing" Python.

• To say someone is a mathematician, is to say that that person works to explore and extend the language of Mathematics, to test its properties and its limits, and to invent new 'words' within it that may then be used by those "doing" Mathematics.
- have destroyed their water/air/land for money that was printed out of thin air by other countries, and those money are now fleeing China to US, Canada, Australia, etc.

Everyone "destroys" their environment while they develop. The earth is incredibly resilient.

- have leveraged their debt level to 300+%. not including shadow lending

Yawn.

- have built rails to nowhere or barely used, built cities that are not lived, or barely lived, and have to maintain them all

Let's see how it turns out, I suspect they know what they're doing.

- have managed to piss off most of their neighbors (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, India, etc)

Because they don't have to care what they think, they only have to manage opinions of Americans. Managing others would be polite but inefficient.

- have a crashing economy that needs capital outflow restrictions just to barely survive

Where have I heard this before?

- have not managed to create any global brands

Let's revisit this in 10 years.

- have managed to not create any innovations

True, but why innovate when 90% of the innovators deliver their technology directly to you?

- encourage its members to flee to US, Canada, Australia

Wouldn't you? Even if I move to China, I am going to retain a very strong allegiance to Canada. Despite what the PC crowd tells you, this is natural and normal. China's leadership acts quickly, but also thinks very long term.

One of us will be proven right in the end, your extreme confidence to me suggests you perhaps don't have a terribly open mind on the topic, which tends not to be beneficial when predicting how the future unfolds.
See "Real-world Exploits against the Tor Browser" pages 9-10 where they conclude,

> The reason is that these function pointers are
only accessed through an indirection layer, i.e., memory
objects on the heap contain a pointer to a virtual table
which is located in the code or data section of the application and contains a number of pointers to virtual
functions. Since the attackers can only disclose the virtual table pointer, but not the virtual table itself, as it is
not on the heap, they cannot disclose gadget addresses.
Note that, when only ASLR is applied, the address of
the virtual table is randomized with the same offset as
the ROP gadgets. Therefore, such an attack can bypass
ASLR but not selfrando.

> We therefore conclude that selfrando can thwart most real-world exploits. Attackers can only succeed in
rare cases where they can disclose the complete heap
and data section.

Hi Guys, AMA – kickstarter live now, and we're done with 3 years of research.
What do you know about lucid dreaming?
I find that better than this recent nugget I read in either Palo Alto times, or Mountain View Voice, I can't recall, and I'm also paraphrasing from memory:

"When asked by city council about traffic issues and parking spaces for [some huge new google campus], [some google spokesperson] assuaged councilmembers with 'By the time it's done, we'll be bringing people in with self driving cars, and the local rail system in [Palo Alto / Mountain View] will have been built, so this will be a non-issue.'"

Judging from the tone of the story, this was considered totally acceptable by the city council. Like, some suit from google just says "nah don't worry about it, 5 years from now is the future, and we all KNOW what the future will be like! Eh? Eh?" Seems remarkably irresponsible, though I am totally for new development! The more the better. Let the tech capital of the world remain so.
I am wrong to think that this kind of thing is more acceptable in Asia than anywhere else?
I know a lot of the early history, I worked there when we hired both Jack and Biz. I can tell you that it's a really good thing that Biz is back on board. Biz was able to articulate what twitter was as the human voice of the company in both directions. From day one the question was always, what does Biz do.

Biz bounced around but when he was there things were better. Kind of like the basketball player that Nate Silver likes to love, who doesn't have any stat which makes them star, but everybody else around them plays better when they're there. Biz isn't a business guy, nor product, nor code, nor support, nor really marketing. But when he's in the room, working with people, everybody's better at all of those things.

He can play a kind of court jester role, which is disarming, but he's super damned sharp. He uses stories and humor to bring people forward.

Having him there, working on twitter means there are now two people in senior roles who aren't afraid of breaking twitter, because they created it in the first place.

In recent years, talking to twitter employees you get this amnesia over the company's culture and history. People don't know where things came from, they don't know the story of how the came to be. The myth's are complicated and messy. And eventually go so messy the company stopped telling the story of how twitter came to be where it is now all together.

With Biz back, he can take on that internal story telling, creating a hero's journey that the company can believe in. Because he's there, as an equal to Jack in understanding the origin, he can tear things down without fear of destroying somebody else's house of cards.
