I think there will continue to be es-next stuff that can be made available - im hoping that one day we will get macros in TS so we can experiment with new features/syntax and a compiler is a great way to do that.

But even if all of that does go away, types outweigh writing without types imo - but you can always take the output of TSC and stop using it going forward, its not obfuscated.
Weather really isn't that amazing. Can get quite chilly (esp. night time) and rainy.
No, but you don't want to make it more difficult for them to reach you. Nobody is willing to do the extra work for that. Friction. You're not special enough.

> its particularly bold to make that claim about tor- there must be a hell of an upside to justify the child predators

Even if Tor didn't exist, there would be child pornography. Would there more, less, or just as much of it? That's difficult to say. It's also difficult to say how much easier it makes the lives of those fighting for freedom of speech. Thus, saying whether Tor is, overall, a "good" or "bad" technology would involve comparing two unknown quantities.

Convienience. Imagine the following smartphone app workflow:

On first use answer some questions that provide information about dietary needs. Drag some sliders around to indicate preferences for simplicity, cost, ,quality, convenience. Some people want beans and rice because they're cheap, some people want fancier meals and care less about price. Some people are cooking for four and want meals that scale well. Some people

Each wee checkbox the meals you want to eat in accordance with your schedule for the upcoming week.

Press go and get a bunch of meals paired with a shopping list

click on the meals to revise as necessary (e.g regenerate on you don't like or mark an item on the list of required items as "I'll source this myself")

Add to cart, press go, wait for brown truck.

Something like that could be a hit with single men and college students.

> The only ones I know who are still using cash are drug dealers

I was about to say "that's not true, the pot stores are cash only too", before realizing that from the perspective of the Feds that's the same thing.

So I guess my real answer is non-business transactions, like buying things on craigslist, or paying my cat sitter.
Thank you Amy! I've followed you for some time and know that you've been public about your health issues. Really sad that the "Grand Old Party" has decided this is the way they want to run the country.

This post prompted me to the 5Calls.org website and I called both of my Senators. Both are Democrats and were already strongly opposed to the BCRA but it took less than 5 minutes to vocalize my support. They asked for my zipcode to ensure I was one of their constituents, which was nice.

5Calls has an impact section [1], but man, would it be nice to snag the raw data to see more info on those 1.5 million phone calls (by date, by geography, by call status, etc.)

I think Facebook counts you as active even if you're logged in, never go to the site, but see any site with a like button. I've blocked Facebook using both Safari Content blockers and my `/etc/hosts` file, but I wonder if they have other ways of attempting to count me in.
Again, why would that apply just to AWS? Being a "workaround" would apply to anyone offloading bandwidth - Azure, GCP, and AWS have similar pricing.

I'm an underwater photographer. You're not wrong, but here's the thing, the deeper you go, the less light is present and the reds get filtered out. My fingernails and hands at 60ft down look purple. So editing is a must. Here's a good overview of a common underwater photograph practice: http://diveadvisor.com/sub2o/get-your-white-balance-done-rig...

It's the equivalent of telling someone to pose facing the sun so there's enough light shining on their face. We do the same thing but with strobes and editing, because when you're 100ft down, it's never lighter than twilight.

These Nat Geo photos don't look altered all that much. Good photographers will make subjects look as they do to the naked eye.

Thanks Jack for mentioning Webrecorder! This is a project I started and it is now part of rhizome.org, a non-profit dedicated to promoting internet-based art and digital culture.

I thought I’d add a few notes here, as there’s a few ways you can use Webrecorder and related tools.

First, Webrecorder supports two distinct modes:

- Native recording mode — http/s traffic goes to through the browser and is rewritten to point to the Webrecorder server (This is the default).

- Remote browser mode — Webrecorder launches a browser in Docker container, and streams the screen to your browser (using noVNC). The traffic is either recorded or replayed depending on the mode, but the operation is the same (we call this ‘symmetrical archiving’) This gives you a recording proxy w/o having to configure your browser or install any plugins.

You can choose this mode by clicking the dropdown to choose a browser (currently Chrome and FF)
This is essentially a remote browser configured via HTTP/S proxy, and allows us to record things like Flash and even Java applets, and other technologies that may become obsolete.

- We also have a desktop player app, Webrecorder Player, available for download from:
https://github.com/webrecorder/webrecorderplayer-electron/re...

This is an app that plays back WARCs files (created by Webrecorder and elsewhere), and allows browsing any WARC file offline.

Another way to create a web archive (for developers): You can use the devtools in the browser to export HAR files, and Webrecorder and Webrecorder Player will convert them on the fly and play them back.
Unfortunately, this option is sort of limited for developers, but you can actually create a fairly good archive locally using HAR export (available in Chrome and Firefox at least). The conversion is done using this tool: https://github.com/webrecorder/har2warc

- If you use webrecorder.io, you can register for an account or use it anonymously. If you register for an account, we provide 5GB storage and you have a permanent url for your archive. You can also upload existing WARCs (or HARs)

- You can also run Webrecorder on your own! The main codebase is at: https://github.com/webrecorder/webrecorder and the remote browser system is actually a separate component and was first used for oldweb.today and lives at https://github.com/oldweb-today

Finally, the core replay/recording tech is actually a separate component, an advanced ‘wayback machine’ being developed in https://github.com/ikreymer/pywb

There’s a lot of different components here, and we would definitely appreciate help to any and all parts of the stack if anyone is interested! All our work is open-source and we are a non-profit, so any help is appreciated.
The long term trend for "meal kits" is very likely just going to have massive local and regional competition. I'm already seeing this in Portland with several meal delivery services that cater to different lifestyles: gluten free, whole 30, extra protein, etc. These are successful "complete meal delivery" businesses. I see no reason why there can't be "meal kit" variations in the future. The cost of starting up a local meal kit business is only going to go down.

In fact, I see a reason local variations will become stronger. A lot of these customers have money and are interested in "farm to table" and "buy local" ideas. So, I'd expect that they could find meal kits that fit whatever diet they want, prepared by a local chef, using ingredients from local farms. This is a great potential avenue for local chefs to promote their brand, in addition to appearances on shows like Top Chef, etc.

So... why would a large company with a national brand matter at all? I could easily see business like Blue Apron just fold overnight, but the meal kit concept shift entirely to, well, small business. Sure seems like the big investment dollars are basically paving the way for local competition, by planting the idea of "meal kits" as a viable option in people's minds.
As an accountant I have had to shoot attempts at claiming this credit down time and time again. Unless you are doing cutting edge/novel research into AI, machine learning, quantum computing, etc you will not qualify for the credit. Think about it this way, unless your research is something you could write a scientific paper on and have it published in a peer reviewed journal, it will not qualify.

Also, this is not a new R&D tax credit, it was extended, again, for the umpteenth time. There were slight changes made in addition to the extension, but they did not change what qualifies as qualified research.

Gusto is trying to drum up business, that is all.
Facebook is a platform. They don't do a lot of attempting to influence, as far as I can tell.

Consider Google as well, which probably reaches even more of the world's population. Or Microsoft. Apple might be getting close, too.

Or plenty of non-tech companies, as the sibling commenter points out. Coke, Samsung, Frito-Lay, etc.

I learned Awk in 1988 before Perl was around (on our systems, anyway). It was super useful at the time. But if you know Perl and Perl is available on your system, there's certainly not a compelling need for writing standalone, multi-line Awk programs. But Awk is really, really useful for one-liners. As Larry Wall has said: "I still say awk '{print $1}' a lot."

Brian Kernighan himself, in this 2015 talk [1] on language design, states that Awk was primarily intended for one-liner usage (he mentions this at 20:43).

> While it made me angry when Google put their results above ours, I never questioned that they had a right to do that. It is their website.

Then, if in future, lets say Google will be the only search engine that is still alive and used by 99% users and Google will choose to get your site/business out of their site/search results (based on what you wrote - it's their website so they can do whatever they want) it will be fine also?

People writing things like this really should read why anti trust laws were introduced in the first place.

Actually - I've had great luck with an AeroGarden. A friend got me their Harvest Touch model in the fall, and I successfully grew herbs all winter.

Then this spring I started tomato seedlings in it, and had far-and-away the most successful tomato seedling starts in my decade of trying.

My model is the Harvest Touch - which tells you when to add water and fertilizer on a screen. But there are more advanced models that connect via WiFi: http://www.aerogarden.com/aerogardens/wi-fi-aerogardens/mira...

Here, I have a proposal for you:

Imagine a world government wherein the killing, torture, and imprisonment of people is illegal, as the core clause of the state. In this state, the core clause does not permit the interests of the state over those of the individual; the state exists to support an individual.

Imagine a political party which comes to power through the co-option of the public sphere to support the above goals, while preaching that this party alone is capable of bringing about the revolution. Imagine a single leader which is the beating heart.

Imagine this party preaching that the global economy must be reverse-engineered to adhere to the above-mentioned goal. Imagine that technical renaissance is trumpeted.

Imagine this totalitarian state and its transparent principles. Transparent enough to call itself totalitarian.

Now imagine the orange flag flying on the marble arch on a clear day.

Personally, my goal is that homeless people can get access to great health care, which usually means housing, mental health care, and job placement, among other things, so that they can quickly get back to work.

All the things you described (besides crack and meth) are a good start. We're missing key pieces, but your apparent solution (make their lives harder until they are driven to a slightly less bad place) is just pushing the problem onto someone else.

That's fine if you only care about your neighborhood, but it's obviously not a solution if your goal is to stabilize society.

From the looks of the demo it looks like you instruct CloudFlare to inject some code, e.g. embedded google maps into a website at a location in the DOM.

How is that different from the website owner from just putting an embed link in their website and updating the site?

Or is the idea you can add/remove these things dynamically through the CloudFlare web interface without having to touch any code?

> If there's enough money to cover all American's healthcare needs it is pure political gold to do so and no need for debate.

I think you are completely missing the debate. The arguments against universal healthcare are 1) If I am healthy, why should I be paying (through taxes) for sick people to go to the hospital, 2) standard of care would become worse if it were government run (wait hours to see a doctor that you can't pick), and 3) less innovation would occur due to lower profits being seen by drug companies, hospitals, etc.

I disagree with nearly all these points, but those are the arguments, not "we don't have the money".
yeah still a joke :)

> So you're both right, but there's a period of sometimes years following the addition of a backdoor to it being discovered. And the NSA doesn't care too much if it's found as you can be sure it's not the only one as the ShadowBrokers showed.

EternalBlue was a vulnerability, not a backdoor, as a backdoor would imply it was intentionally inserted. Again, any proof of malicious code being intentionally inserted would be huge news and would permanently kill trust in the vendor.

> Following that logic, a new piece of 'exploitable code' could be added in the next Windows update and it could lay undetected for a decade. It's happened before and we didn't find it until the ShadowBrokers did their work, so it can happen again just as easily.

This would be huge news. A negative cannot be proven, but it would not really serve much benefit to theorize about intentional backdoor insertion without proof. Anger at something like that is best saved for a provable case (Think of it this way: To a non-tech person, it would be great for them to be able to express outrage/call their reps/etc when there is definitive proof of this, versus saying "oh I heard this was already happening so whatever").

> I guess that is the problem for us who talk about it as it encourages taking sides, where the reality is paranoid people are sometimes right in certain cases and cynics who think it's just a bug are right in others.

There is nothing wrong with being overcautious. Problems arise when worrisome conclusions are reached, causing some (for example) to be unsure about the safety of automatic updates. The effect of this would be users avoiding a perceived risk of a malicious update, yet allowing them to be more exposed to real known vulnerabilities by not installing important security patches.

I'll wager that there is still some of the old FX!32 technology in there, that was used back in the day to translate between x86 and AXP.

As a subscriber, here are some arguments in favor of Blue Apron [or similar services]:

1) It's cheaper / healthier than eating at most restaurants [where I live, in Upper Manhattan]

2) The nearest grocery stores also aren't cheap. If I could save money, it would cost me a significant amount of time. [the lines at Trader Joe's alone, not to mention meal-planning + time to & from store].

3) Some items are hard to buy in the right quantities. [eg red wine vinegar]

4) I don't need to do much normal grocery shopping. Between farmer's markets and Amazon Prime Now, I don't have a necessary weekly trip to the store.

As I mentioned in another comment, I am one of the nearly-perfect early customers. It fills a need that I have, and it clearly doesn't fill any needs for you. This is actually a huge problem for Blue Apron, because it means that to acquire me, they just needed me to know about it [good!].

[But!] To acquire you, they'd probably have to (a) lower costs, (b) do lots of ... marketing?, (c) provide more food options [that's actually been happening], and (d) make cooking trivial.

Delivery is a huge expense [I heard 20-30% [1]] for a service like Blue Apron. I imagine the goal of many of these "delivery" services is to get in on the ground floor before delivery / logistics become a solved problem of self-driving cars. They'll use VC money and low-margins to survive until their delivery fees drop and hope that being dominant in the market helps them keep their spot. ... And then they'll have a few years of reasonable profitability until they're disrupted?

>FYI, anyone with a decent job in the US has access to some of the best health care in the world

This is so funny. IIRC what Republicans in the USA are arguing is that the new health care plan that they want to pass gives "access" to healthcare to everyone, as long as they are "willing" to pay for it.

The web sites that are supposed to give APM port status are frozen. It appears that many (all?) APM terminals worldwide are not accepting incoming trucks. Unclear whether ships are being unloaded.

There's surprisingly little info about this from the actual ports.
Even Twitter output has become so PR-controlled that nobody involved is getting important information out. APM, Maersk, and the Port of Los Angeles all have Twitter feeds, and none of them have any useful info about this. Even the Port of Los Angeles Police have nothing.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has a clue. Their alerts feed has useful info.[1]

gate hours to 7:00 pm (cut off) 6/29 thru 7/7.
Free-time will be extended 2 days due to service impact.
(The free time extension means customers have two extra days to
bring back their empties before being charged.)

6/27/2017 1:14:23 PM

Due to extent of system impact, APM Terminals will not be opening
for the remainder of the day. Updates on tomorrow's status to follow.

6/27/2017 9:12:22 AM

APM is still experiencing system issues. Please delay arrivals.

APM Terminals is still experiencing system issues. Please
delay arrival until further notice. Updates will follow.

6/27/2017 7:53:09 AM

Whoever is posting those seems to be the one person on the planet sending out useful info about this. The biggest container terminal on the East Coast is closed today and tomorrow.
