it's not in any way hypocrisy to treat people and actions that harm

For one who decries false equivalence of equating some non-violent action to violence, I find your application of "harm" here a real stretch, and a bit hypocritical besides!

I'll also note, in brief, that I'm not advocating a zero-nuance policy of immediate exclusion for the slightest offense. That's not a supportable position, and certainly not the one I hold. I do, however, consider exclusion a perfectly reasonable approach for maintaining more pleasant, welcoming communities. And it's not the job of every such community to put up with people who would make it worse, or to attempt to correct such people.

I wonder if you're the sort of person who would advocate that a non-political group make a political statement, then make everyone sign or make some sort of pledge in support of it and throw out those who don't. Such behavior called a perfectly reasonable approach for maintaining more pleasant, welcoming communities is every bit as hypocritical as and toxic as 80's frat boys doing the enforced-fun aggression, questioning your sexuality, then gay bashing you if your answer doesn't satisfy them.

You talk elsewhere about being too abstract. The chief emotional dishonesty here in our blue tribe, is the degree to which hate and emotional aggression actually rule the tribal, othering behaviors. I've been racially harassed to the point where police had to get involved. The epiphany that I had sometime afterwards, was that there was a real joy, real glee to those "poor white trash" kids. In their minds, I'm quite sure, that they were making the world a better, more "real" and beautiful place, at least for the "real" people. Now I look over at others on the left, and I see essentially the same thing.

Have you dehumanized others in your mind, in your heart of hearts?
GSAT-19 satellite also has electrical propulsion system[1] along with the regular hypergolic motors. ISRO is validating their Hall effect electrical propulsion systems for north-south station keeping[2]. Going forward, electrical propulsion systems will greatly reduce the amount of fuel that need to be carried in satellite.

It's suffice to say that the cloud providers have a different set of customers in mind. I have servers on both OVH/Linode variety of service providers as well as one single app running on AWS. For the products I run on OVH/Linode, I sell the service at less than $20/month. The one on AWS sells for $200+ per month. Again, it's because of the requirements/SLAs. Based on experience, AWS is a lot more robust for what I'm using it for.
[Off Topic] I have a chrome extension that replaces all occurrences of "the cloud" with "my butt".

It is the best extension.
"Boudreaux said nut theft had outstripped drug crime as his top priority and promised an aggressive investigation."

> Also Apple isn't to blame Khronos could not make something as usable as CUDA.

Apple is the one that developed OpenCL. Apple submitted OpenCL to Khronos. So if Apple isn't to blame then who is?

> Vulkan and OpenGL don't work in UWP, which is the future of Windows application model

It's only the future if applications adopt it. Which since it's win10 only there's no real chance of that happening anytime soon.

Keep in mind Steam is the dominate marketplace for gaming on Windows, not the Microsoft app store (followed by a few other stores - Origin, Battle.net, etc...). So what Microsoft wants to happen is pretty irrelevant to what will actually happen since nobody really cares about Microsoft's store.

> Vulkan and OpenGL don't work [...] on XBox.

Neither does DX12. Console devs aren't writing for UWP nor for Direct3D. UWP on xbox sounds like that old XNA thing - something for maybe indie devs but since indie devs now have a choice of engines to pick from they probably will care even less now than they did back when XNA was a thing.
Are you sure that's mere slowness?

I've had Firefox block more js/elements than Chrome and sometimes I think other bits of the page are busy waiting for some event that will never happen.
We shouldn't be migrating Electron to anything… we should be getting rid of it. Electron is a cop-out for mediocre dev teams to make mediocre desktop apps. The result is a world where we run apps like Spotify and Slack are the main battery-killers because their engineering teams were too lazy to make a real native app.
1. Will Dell servers magically appear in your racks all mounted correctly? Shipping delays is a very serious and real problem.

2. Will Dell servers arrived with 0 problems on its components? Any time I ordered meaningful amount of servers, I usually get about 5% fail rate. VMs aren't perfect but you can destroy and recreate in different region almost real time.

3. Ever had to deal with difficult-to-work-with network admin? The cloud is significantly less pain in the ass.
Why get a dedicated instance and not get reserve pricing? You can get those instances for a fraction of what you're currently paying
Having tried the "Contact the City Council of a city I don't live in" thing in the past, I'd suggest a better use of your time, if you don't live in Brisbane or MV, is to try to find companies that do and persuade their leaders to take action.

Larry and Sergey could fix MV's intransigence very fast. We need to call on tech leadership to take a stand here. It's in their best interest.

+1 to all the suggestions about calling your city council, your assemblymember, your state senator, etc

IIRC they also lie about the amount of RAM when you query sysctl. iOS apps aren't allowed to use all of the RAM on devices and so the system simply lies to the app about how much RAM there is.
With an m4.16xl, there's no effective difference between a dedicated or default tenancy instance - only one .16xl can run on a physical hypervisor, which is reflected in the pricing, it's $3.20/hour whether it's dedicated or not:

https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/
https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/purchasing-options/dedicated-inst...

For smaller instances, there is around a 10% increase for dedicated, for example, for an m4.4xl, the price goes to $0.88 for dedicated tenancy versus $0.80 for default.

There is a $2/hour fee for each region in which you have dedicated instances, but that gets lost in the noise if you're using significant AWS resources. (it's $2/hour regardless of how many instances you're running)

We haven't noticed any significant difference between performance on dedicated and non-dedicated instances, and only use dedicated instances where required for compliance/regulatory reasons.

>1. A request and its signed response can only be used for a specific login attempt by SSH design.

>3. The app has an internal known hosts list, so it denies attempts to just replicate hostname to trick the user.

>4. The app has to be paired with each machine that can authenticate, or the key material must be stolen off a paired machine. "Timed" acceptance is per pairing basis, so abuse of that only works if you steal the right pairing. The app shows the name of the pairing when requesting approval.

So instead of being able to pwn all your machines, they can pwn all the machines that you connect to since the first compromise. Better than nothing, but only marginally since you probably visit your important machines somewhat frequently (+ opportunities to piviot between machines). This also means they can access all your github repos since they're on the same host.

>2. The app, through some nasty hacks, receive the host auth blob from the server to verify. If you skip this, the request will be labelled as from "unknown" to "warn" the user. Such request are never auto-accepted during "accept for 1h" periods.

Not relevant because there's little to gain from hitting a machine twice within an 1 hour window. There's no need to pwn a machine you already pwned.
You don't need to move 3,000 miles away, you just have to move outside of commuting range where the prices fall off a cliff. You can still live in the same quality house and see your family frequently.

I live on Vancouver Island, near Nanaimo. Prices are much more reasonable, it's a beautiful place to live, there are quite a few startups here, and it's just a 15 min floatplane ride to downtown Vancouver or Victoria.

> I personally don't see the outrage. AmaGoogSoft overcharges for data transfers because they know they can get away with it and that lowering it won't attract more customers.

I know a handful of scientists, myself included, who would consider cloud computing were it not for the expensive egress costs. The ease of spinning up lots of computing power for scientific modelling is useless if retrieving the vast quantities of raw output data is costly. I will have to investigate OVH though as a potential opportunity--thanks.

I had a look at the documentation at [1], which says "The AVCaptureDepthDataOutput class captures and delivers depth data in a stream (similar to how the AVCaptureVideoDataOutput delivers video data)."

So you can now access a stream of depth data. I'd put money on ARToolkit using this stream when it's available. For now, it would only be from the iPhone 7+.

Yeah I'd love to read an expert post about how you maximize your ROI and reduce churn.
Have you done many interviews? The solution to "people lie sometimes" is not to rely on correlation-to-a-correlation Ouija board bullshit, it's to delve and ask for more detail until you're satisfied the person isn't bullshitting. I want to know if candidates are smart and hard-working; I don't ask them "Are you smart and hard-working", and I don't ask them what their spouse does for a living based on some cockamamie theory about how that relates to anything. I ask them to describe a project they worked on and their role in it and how it went, and I keep asking supporting questions and follow-ups until I'm pretty sure I know whether I want to hire them or not.

Candidates need to do the same thing: delve, ask for details, and keep going until they're satisfied that they know whether this is a job they want. I think those questions I posted are a good way to do that. If OP asks those questions, and then asks follow-ups, until she's pretty well convinced that this is/isn't someone she wants to work for, my suspicion is she'll very likely be right.
Glad to see a player big enough to cause some damage taking this up. At this point, anything that harms Facebook/Google and those trying to mimic their data collection tactics should be considered good for the web and internet.

My 2 thoughts on the subject:

1. To an extent, it's a solution that can't be fully cross platform. Accessing messaging APIs is very limited on iOS and most apps that support a customer support feature really just use a single compose email view.

2. It's a matter of scale. Large companies can afford to spend the resources on a custom, more cross platform-y solution. Not so much with smaller ones, especially ones dedicated to iOS.

It most certainly does say that this only applies to private windows, "Use Tracking Protection in Private Windows" [1]. If you want the always using tracking protection you can set privacy.trackingprotection.enabled to true in about:config or install the disconnect extension.

That's like a parody of what a Microsoft hater would say, yet it's an actual quote from Microsoft. Makes me feel sorry for them in retrospect.
I don't know if I'd be courageous enough to run random internet code server side, but I know there are some people that do. I was thinking about trying to get a lisp-to-javascript compiler, then use it to compile a lisp-interpreter-written-in-lisp to javascript, then the notebook would just be a fancy client-side lisp REPL.

Take credit card churning and apply it to cloud data. Build tools to seamlessly move apps between cloud providers.
It's not the hardware you're paying for, it's the services. How much does it cost to employ a systems administrator? A lab tech? And so on. You see exactly the same pattern in software services. People pay more to buy products that are "turn key" versus having to hire someone to do tons of work building out systems or services or what-have-you.

Also, hiring people is a risk, and it doesn't happen instantly. When you have a gap of months without a sysadmin things are bad. Hiring a bad sysadmin is even worse. Not to mention the impossibility of hiring 1/2 or 3/4 of a sysadmin. There's scaling limits there. If you have the resources to DIY, that can be a key competitive advantage, but not everyone does.
You really need to qualify your statement with a time period bracket. Very few people are saying that Americans are no better off today than they were in the 70s (most of your links use mid 2010s vs. late 1970s data points). Rather, the issue is that over the last 10-20 years things have gotten stagnant, whereas before that they were improving quite rapidly. A quick look at median income trend charts will show this quite clearly [1].

Not a woman but just wanted to chime in and agree that just because a company markets itself as a great place for diversity, women, people from different cultures doesn't really mean much at an individual level. There are definitely companies where you see 'women in tech' programs and fliers on the wall while still incubating a chauvinistic, aggressive male culture in parallel during day to day operations. That's why everyone just needs to be very familiar with who they are working with on a daily basis.

Slavoj Zizek Says Your Office Ping-Pong Table Is Oppressing You
It is unfortunate that companies can't be flexible and give employees the environment that the employees find will make them more productive. So one group of people could be seated elbow to elbow with headphones to avoid some of the distractions and another group of people would have personal offices with a door where they can concentrate - that way everyone is happy.
My argument is that many minority views (for example "vaccines cause autism") should be actively removed ("suppressed" in your words) from Wikipedia in favor of reality-based opinions. The only mechanism wikipedia has for choosing which minority opinions to remove is majority opinion (hopefully expert majority opinion). Wikipedia doesn't have a mechanism to include minority opinions without also including crazies.

Majority opinion isn't always right, but Wikipedia isn't well suited for solving that problem. This isn't speculation: it wasn't always this way, but the rules were made because people were flooding Wikipedia with all the insane things people believe. I've never been an active wikipedia contributor, but I've used the site long enough to remember this.
Where can I find competent sysadmins capable of managing a system like that on their own for $40,000 a year?
I found Cryptotrader [1] interesting years ago, & found myself wishing I knew how to code so I could get in on maybe making some money there.

Was using a minimal bot that came as a Chrome extension called "Butter-Bot", but it stopped working right after that one Thanksgiving when it broke $1k- when the market started going sideways. The developer was building a newer version called "Butter-X", which looked promising, but was never completed after money ran out.

I think you're splitting silly hairs - technically its anyone with bad cash flow. If someone has no liquid assets and their "wealth" is only tied in the property they're living in, it's monopoly bubble money, and you're kicking them out because they're fixed income doesn't match the real estate market values (which may be unrealistic in a bubble). If you're truly wealthy, and want to preserve the property, then you'll have many options to transition even fairly illiquid assets to keep a property.
Can probably hire a someone at minimum wage to watch it 24/7 in case it spontaneously combusts.
That means you only have about $40k/yr to hire a sysadmin assuming they need no supplies or tools...

Service workers are an anathema to everything Apple is trying to achieve with Safari and I would be shocked if it ever gets included. Their focus is on improving battery life, having a great user experience and maintaining a high level of privacy and security. Service workers are awful for all three. For example look at what you have to do to see running service workers:

Developer Tools > Application > Service Workers

chrome://inspect/#service-workers

If there was a rogue web site launching service workers to do something nefarious how would I know diagnose what's happening ? How would my grandmother ? Where is the transparency the web is supposed to provide ?
Agree with siblings about two finger drag to move cursor around. Additionally, I really enjoy the apple keyboard case for my iPad Pro. Real arrow keys, along with option, command, and shift modifiers are how I select text on the Mac, and it works identically on iPad.
It's pretty easy to get the Wii to run emulators, and I wouldn't be too quick to write off the Wii library. You've got the Lego Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Batman games, Mario Kart, Wii Sports, some Disney Princess games if your kids are into that. There are also some good games like Mario Galaxy that give the second player a limited role, so they get to help without the whole game having to be tailored to their level.
I'm a prospective parent wondering how to approach this for my future kids. How do you think about the categorization of "screen time" vs. non-"screen time"? Is there a reason I should be more concerned about my 6-year-old playing Final Fantasy than if they spent the same time reading young adult fiction? Playing Spelunky vs. playing softball?

(I get that there are object-level differences; maybe young adult fiction is better than Final Fantasy at teaching something about culture, or they get more reading practice. But maybe Final Fantasy is better at teaching simple math. So I'm mostly interested in the general "screen time" vs. "not screen time" distinction.)
I'm still using my Mac Pro from 2008! Upgraded the memory and video card. The colors on the display are completely wonky in the past year so it's being regulated to a plex server. I'm probably paying way too much in energy.
