How about not sending a non-expert to the grocery store with a post-it note for supplies when packaging radioactive material for long-term storage. Besides, "organic" when in the grocery store means something completely different any way -- ironically, the organic (wheat-based) product could easily be "non-organic" (meaning not certified to avoid certain pesticides, fertilizers, etc.), while the non-organic (clay-based) product might be labeled "organic" (meaning no pesticides).

Really, how about having a specific written signoff procedure in place, where all supplies must be checked before purchase by a trained expert who knows the difference between organic and inorganic / clay vs wheat, signed off in writing against a checklist developed by experts, then checked again by a separate trained expert when delivered with another signoff, then checked again by a third export when actually used.
Distributed indexing is very hard, slow and easily gamed. If you remember Kazaa, for example, it had an enormous problem with low quality content and malware.

The best solution is not fully distributed indexing, rather decentralized indexing, such as IPFS.

Allowing HTML means the other side will have to validate that HTML (to avoid XSS). Using text means you can stick in the DOM using innerText() and be much more confident that you aren't injected XSS.

I agree that I see HTML in RSS titles, but I rather have the occasional garbled title that the author can fix by striping out HTML before the RSS than ensuring that every RSS reader isn't opening up new security holes.

Traditionally, it has been exact. Physicists are ordinary people and use ordinary language to talk to other physicists. It became inexact when the low bidder bought wheat waste and called it "kitty litter" and ignored "(clay)".
This is why I'm happy most of all the iterative improvement and breakthroughs in ML are happening at research labs, public or private. When papers get published, you usually know who contributed to the endeavor.
Sure--it's kind of a pain in Swift, too.

Wouldn't it just be worse with XML, though? I get that people don't realistically parse it themselves and libraries are smart enough to use schemas to deserialize, but there's nothing inherent about JSON that makes it unable to conform to a schema or be parsable by libraries into native strongly-typed objects the same way.

Inside Google's VR Moonshot
"Now it belongs to the ages!"
In the 1950s, new homes were around 1200 sq. ft. and housed an average of about 3.5 people. These days, new homes are around 2500 sq. ft. and house around 2.5 people. They also have more amenities, such as appliances. Meanwhile, homelessness is on the rise and the availability of affordable housing has been shrinking for decades.

Excerpt from my own writing:

http://whathelpsthehomeless.blogspot.com/2015/09/affordable-...

Wages may play a role, but "housing inflation" in terms of houses getting bigger and more luxurious and thus forcing costs up absolutely is a huge problem in this country. Plus, we razed something like 80% of SROs in the 60s and 70s.

There is a huge and growing shortage of actually affordable housing in this country. This has been true for decades. It is one of the reasons I am not crazy about the idea of basic income. If we don't do something about this trend, it won't matter if you cut a check to all the poor people. Many of them will still be either homeless or crowded together horribly in situations they find objectionable.

We basically assume these days that single people in their twenties with entry level jobs should get into housing really designed for a family and share it with roommates. This is basically a post 1980 expectation. Historically, people rented a room in the form of an SRO or a room at a boarding house when they were just starting out. Now, we view those as something provided for chronic losers who can't find another way off the street rather than just cheap housing for single people who don't need much space.
Why can't you suppress your own craving for houses? Why do you want to regulate other people so that you can buy low-priced houses? The market is sending a clear message by increasing prices that we should build more houses. Why do you want to suppress that with regulations? It is economics 101 and how capitalism works.
The market is like a giant voting machine but not really a fund, since nobody is managing it.
Pirates are after hostages, not cargo, generally. It's very hard to crack the cargo anyways - it's usually stored in a solid steel 20-to-40 foot shipping container with solid steel lashings bolting everything together. You'd need to be able to cut through a lot of steel, but then moving the actual cargo itself would require, well, a large vessel. Selling it would be a very involved process. All of this puts sea piracy of drone vessels well outside of the scope of a group of armed men in a motorboat.

Potentially you could also establish measures that make it hard for a human to get aboard the ship, such as no walkable spaces, or tall fences, now that you no longer need to accommodate human crew.

Political/legal solutions also take a generation or more to accomplish. What are we supposed to do in the meantime, just put up with governmental abuse?
I think you seriously underestimate the people, and seriously overestimate the government.

> Hey, I'm hosting a server with a shitty PHP app, but you can put your addons on it. I'm just asking for 75% of your income. Not profit, no, income. I'm running the infrastructure after all. Not to mention that this 25% figure is largely exaggerated, and it's closer to 7-8% in reality.

Cool. Does your shitty PHP app tie into dozens of incredibly popular games, and hundreds more of moderately popular ones? Has it been tested for years, both by in-house QA and real-world friction?

> But the last thing Valve needs is people defending them

Sure, but on the flip side, if someone is going to attack them, they should make sure their arguments are valid, no? Like I said, this article is mostly someone mad that Valve is making money while not putting in as much effort as the author would like them to.

> Steamworks API is still a joke. Greeenlight is a joke. 99% the cosmetics they are putting out are done by the community.

I'll take your word for it - I have never really purchased cosmetics, aside from taking the random drops in TF2. I have heard bad things about Greenlight, but mostly from people upset that game devs don't deliver what they promise after taking your money (and that's as much on them as it is on Valve for empowering that sort of thing.)

And as far as offloading work onto the community... why is that bad again? It's all volunteer-driven. I'd wager that a lot of the people making these things were the type of people who would just use a modded server and load them that way, instead of having an officially sanctioned channel.

> Just that the ratios are heavily skewed in their favour and as the only serious players in the market, this is bad for everyone but them.

That's true, but how is that Steam's fault or problem? You mentioned their competitors; let them compete! What is Steam expected to do about this? Lend them some employees?

> Joke's on you, I enjoy having cases. I actually miss having physical boxes and manuals and all the goodies that came with games.

Sure, and I'm not saying it's wrong to like having physical memorabilia - but the key difference is that if you lose the physical memorabilia, you're fucked, and can't play that game anymore.
>The whole article seems like the author just woke up from a 15-year coma and is having trouble coming to terms with modern commerce.

Seems more like a Games Journalism article written by someone who isn't "a gamer". Which is par for the course nowadays.

I'd be hard pressed to find any PC gamer who doesn't think Steam improved upon the way things used to be done. I do know one person who is an exception but their issue isn't the gaming side of things but the fact they liked to collect boxes for the box art. Fewer games being released as a box = fewer box arts for their collection.
The C Abstract Machine looks like a generic machine based on the Von Neumann architecture, so it "feels" like it should be fundamental.

You can disagree with the decisions involved (as you did with the XML vulnerability argument), but the fact that those arguments exist means they AREN'T doing it just because they don't want to use the same tools the previous generation did - they have different reasons that you think aren't good reasons.

Saying it as you did comes across as smug and dismissive, which is not an effective way of convincing your audience that you've taken arguments into account when making your decision.

> staunchly only in favor of one political party

This is empirically not true, especially if you look at the policies of and donations by Google, Twitter, and Facebook.

Google donates to both parties; Twitter obviously has a very laissez-faire to the Right's voices, including the POTUS, and its COO recently suggested that if Trump canceled briefings, he could take questions directly on Twitter. And the evidence and rumors continue to swirl about how multiple Republican Party candidates campaigns used Facebook's own incredibly specific ad targeting, which they did not revise until after the election. (cf. Cambridge Analytica, contracted by Cruz and then Trump to "manage" the election outcome.)
I am very stoked for this.
> The US is about 4M square miles. So with 1M cars, you could cover every second grid point and have a car standing by within √2 miles of everyone. This is obviously impractical with human-driven taxis, but with self-driving taxis you could get there. The number of self-driving taxis to take every urban dweller to and from work would probably be around 20M, so covering the country would be only 5% extra.

This is flatly ridiculous. Yes mathematically sound but you're forgetting the concentrations of people vary extremely widely and so the demand for the cars would also vary extremely widely. And yes, you could then stack more in the urban areas but then we come back to the same problem: what company is going to operate the 5 or so that service my town, and why would anyone in my town use them versus their own already owned cars? And unless we plan to have some that are capable of pulling boats, moving equipment, towing trailers, and what have you you've addressed maybe 60% of traffic.

> Similar things to what you said were said about electricity and telephone service in the early 20th centure

Except the obstructions to getting phone and electrical service to the rural areas were a lack of funding and some difficult terrain in places, and a need for more switchboards. Show me an EV that can pull a trailer holding four horses (about 4 tons) a few hundred miles and I might believe you, but to my knowledge, that doesn't exist.
> Had he kept it in XOM, his $3 million would have been worth $22 million today, with a dividend that would have covered his expenses and that kept pace with inflation.

His house value probably rose at a higher rate than XOM's did.

Also, what's your point? His shares would be worth $22 million today and he'd still be dead.

The problem with maps – Interactive map projections
I toyed with building an application like this, except that you just carry your device with you. The application basically tarballs your entire environment up, offsites it, and then wipes and factory-resets your device (incidentally I got lost in the rabbit hole of trying to wipe an SSD heh). It's completely clean, you can surrender your device for inspection, give passwords, etc. And then after you're through, you download the application which acts like a dropper, and it explodes your environment and data onto the device again. Docker was really useful here.
You'd know the answer if you'd taken the < 1 minute to read the article. It was mentioned in the opening paragraph.
"I'm not comfortable with Google having and sharing my data."

1. That's why we need a new federal statue that would allow for perment deletes.

2. And Google would spend billions fighting any proposed statue.

3. They would use the, "But we won't we won't be able to solve the world's problems without this data? Just trust us, and we will eliminate cancer, and whatever."

4. O.k.--you won Google. You just need to share all the collected data with all of us, and give us a shot a collating it?

5. Google, "We can't give it out willy nilly--it has personal identification?"

6. And it will go on, and on.

7. Personally, I would just like a right to simple perment delete on any server that does any business/research in the United States. Me, "Hay FB I just hit ten keys to delete my account. The 11 key deletes my history on your, and any associates servers. Yes--I'm hitting that button." Repeat for Google, banks, government, etc.

Apple really needs to fix this. In particular open source applications don't sign for whatever reason and it's clear that barring some change they aren't going to start now.
Pretty much all torrent index that have closed ? They were in a very similar position (no content is hosted, but they help piracy) and we can see where that lead them. Your idea is probably even harder to defend, because you'd be sending the webtorrent code directly along the list of torrents, instead of having to copy-paste a link in another application. As a user, it feels like I'm just clicking on a button to download (or play) music, so it feels like your site is directly distributing content (we can talk all day long about the technicalities, but we know they don't matter as much as we'd like)
OMG, I'm not in that position or anything right now but thank you SO much for this link! So good to know.
Confusion about choosing the chemically appropriate kitty litter comes up more frequently than one might expect. While a zeolite clay based litter is the best choice for nuclear waste, the message here isn't that it's the best choice for all purposes. It turns out that different applications require different kitty litters!

Oyster mushrooms can be grown on lots of "plant based" substrates. One easily available substrate is kitty litter made from recycled newspaper, such as the "Yesterday's News" brand. If you to use a zeolite based litter here (even if it had organic certifications) your mushrooms would grow poorly if at all: http://www.namyco.org/docs/grow_oyster_mushrooms_on_kitty_li.... But for bonsai, both clay and recycled newspaper would be a disaster. Here, you need a litter made from "diatomaceous earth", such as Tesco's "Low Dust Lightweight Catlitter": http://www.bonsai4me.com/Basics/Basicscatlitter.htm. Tomato seedlings have about the same requirements as bonsai: http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=22329.

I mention these partly as a joke, but there actually is a deep commonality here. All of these are real world situations where the specific type of cat litter used has implications, and in all of them, despite the authors' strong desire for precision and clarity, you find forums full of people who take the "shortcut" of using the wrong type of cat litter and then complaining that it doesn't work. I'm not sure what the solution is, but in the future it sure would be great if we could troubleshoot the instructions in the mushroom, tomato and bonsai communities rather than jumping straight to nuclear waste disposal.

Does anyone have examples of other communities making odd uses of specific types of kitty litter?
Thanks! Everything went well, and I'm healthy as can be!

Bullshit.

I'm going to address your specific link.

Microsoft has different classes of customers and the functionality that you don't want, many customers request and may even require. You aren't obligated to use their disk encryption or functionality. You can install your own WDE product, but you appear to want the features of a Ferrari for the price of a Ford Focus, which is not reasonable.

Microsoft is not trying to mess with your system via that method. If anything, that is a blanket improvement prior by default there was no encryption. Could the design be made better? Maybe, with any implementation of a security feature there are always trade-offs. Microsoft could force users to store the key locally or print it, but then millions of people would simply turn encryption off or lose their key. This does not grant MS remote access to your system.

There are plenty of things that are wrong with MS, but saying Windows is malware is FUD plain and simple.
It won't get traction if it is costly, and without traction noone will bother developing more than demos and proof of concepts for it. And thus for the mainstream it won't have any real value.

> Wasn't that sort of the point or using arrays instead of pointers? There is less dereferencing to get to the data, so you need to dereference fewer pointers.

No, and that's why the article is confusing. It makes it seem like that's true but it's really not.

If you remove everything else and just look at passing the pointer itself, the fundamental difference between the pointer version and the array version is the pointer version isn't constant, and therefore has one level of indirection. This is because you can reassign to the `ptr` variable. But the array is constant, you can't reassign `ary`. All you really have to do here is put `const` on the `ptr` variable and suddenly you get the exact same code. Or in other words,

const char * const ptr = "Foo";

behaves the same way as

const char ary[] = "Foo";

And the only practical difference between the two at this point is how the sizeof() operator works.
