I'm in a senior role on my team, and this is exactly how I'd describe the support I try to give my teammates when they ask

I think this level of support is a fairly widespread target for the first interaction on a topic. We're (generally speaking) working among fellow talented professionals within a small-enough window of related disciplines and skill levels. The reasonable assumption is that someone requesting help needs just enough new information to establish connective tissue in their own mental understanding of a problem to become self-sufficient again (even if that means doing more research, learning, digging, etc... on their own). Topics that require a "brain dump" from someone with the institutional knowledge is a sign of technical debt and that information belongs in internal documentation.

The worst part is that they could easily allow interop and implement proper features in the client. Too bad they don't care and the competitor(s) (is there anyone else than Tutanota with a full e2e impl?) don't care about the users either.

I worked for a competitor a while ago, was ruined by a relatively incompetent CEO. The team is still fiddling with various small projects related to the field, but creating a proper solution without funding is quite hard, as it's a very extensive, challenging project.

What about fast charging stations becoming more widespread? For example: legislation that requires all apartments to have charging outlets, or charging available on street parking.

The way I see it -- plugin hybrids with a minimal 50 mile electric range will start to become the norm, then with fewer people buying gas, many gas stations go out of business. Electric charging pops up at work and at the big box stores. Possibly metered, or subsidised by purchases. Then plugin hybrids become electric only once the gas stations disappear.
How does that insurance work, though: If the bank promises to pay its clients some obscene interest, and goes belly up, will FDIC pay that? Or is it "the US Treasury will pay you up to the amount you initially deposited"?

For me as a music producer and consumer, one of the most frustrating changes recently made my Soundcloud has been their cancellation of groups, which used to be a decent means of discovering new music related to kinds of music you already like.

Once groups were cancelled, the listens on the songs I post to Soundcloud plummeted to virtually nothing, and I really don't bother to upload my music there anymore, nor to go to Soundcloud to discover new music.
File hosting is just not a profitable enterprise. This pattern should be familiar by now: gain prominence by giving away tons of stuff to draw in users, and then clamp down when the bill comes due, resulting in a hard pivot that alienates the users.

The truth is that users are not loyal. If you are offering something for free, they will be happy to take it, and they will have no qualms about moving on when you stop giving them the free stuff that they came for. Selling eyeballs is a very tough business. People who want a realistic chance to make money should have plans besides "sell ads".

I don't think it's meant to be a massive improvement - just another one of the many barriers you want to put in front of an attacker. Assume they will get through, but make it as difficult as possible in the hopes that reduces the people who attempt it.
Bandcamp, Spotify, and Pandora are for the most part an afterthought to my social circle compared to SoundCloud. I'm genuinely surprised they aren't doing well; they have great engineers and have a fearless attitude that helped them reach a large audience quickly

Thank you for the awesome feedback. :-) I am sorry if it frustrated you.

Sorry about the mega payload. I was still in process of optimizing it when this thread came out 5am this morning (I saw it during my morning jog). I knew we had to get this out there ASAP.

Scroll-jacking is annoying, I know. I'm in the process of fixing it. I think we need to optimize our designs first.

I'm using React with next.js, which makes deployment + development super simple.

The point of scroll position was for URL shortcuts, sorry about that! I'll disable the history and maybe that will make things better.
Trending likes solved this, because even an upvote brigade required the user to have multiple friends in the brigade. All I had to do was follow a few key influencers on a topic and the post would show in my feed.

Perhaps the word should be "notable" rather than "high-quality." A paper that is repeatedly refuted must have had some intellectual impact if others have bothered to refute it in so many ways. PageRank would also take into account the quality or notableness of the refuting papers themselves, so this cannot be reduced to a mere count of the number of refutations. That means a highly-ranked, oft-refuted paper would have been refuted not just by anyone, but by other high-quality or at least highly notable authors.

You don't need the free market to factor in the externalities of ICE pollution. If we are into government decrees, why doesn't the government just decree that you can drive whatever you want, but if you drive an ICE you will pay for your externalities? I'd imagine if gas was priced at it's true cost(including externalities), the switch to electric would be much easier.

Hey there, author here, we've been exploring React Native in the open at Artsy for about 1.5 years now. This post is a continuation on our series on React Native. It's really changed the fundamentals for our iOS team at Artsy to the point that we don't really recognise ourselves as a specific team anymore.

I think a lot of teams would definitely benefit from using the technology, but understanding the trade-offs up-front is hard. So this post is not a quick overview but something that will take 45m to read and understand. It's worth a read IMO. :)

For the rest of the series see, http://artsy.github.io/series/react-native-at-artsy/
Soundcloud started dying when they decided to be more like Spotify and less like the independent music discovery service they started out as. Now they have an app and experience that is not particularly good at either.
For me, your second blocker has boiled down to a simple weekly cronjob:

0 9 * * 0 certbot renew --renew-hook "service nginx restart"

I'm sure there are cases where restarting nginx willy-nilly won't fly, but for non-mission critical it's wonderfully simple.

Cerbot is also great for the initial setup. I just add the non-SSL entry, run `certbot --nginx` and follow the simple prompts.
They reference that silicon definition later on in the article.
Looking it up (they're very public figures), the high end of that scale is 96k; the low end 52. (G11 base is $52,329.00, G13 base is $74,584.00)

These numbers seem incredibly low. Like, "why doesn't Google just hire them all away and put them in a box somewhere" numbers. The economic damage done by repeated spying allegations and the vulnerabilities the NSA has stockpiled (and then leaked) seems like it's far outweighed the cost even to individual companies to just filibuster the whole thing. Then again, I'm not going to dig into the pathology of people who'd accept government jobs in the first place.

How about firing your marketing department and declaring war on "being shit"?
The castle doctrine is distinct from "standing your ground", though it is to some extent subsumed because most stand-your-ground laws say that you have no duty to retreat from a place that you have a legal right to be, which naturally includes your home.

Florida [1], for example, says:

> ... A person who uses or threatens to use deadly force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground if the person using or threatening to use the deadly force is not engaged in a criminal activity and is in a place where he or she has a right to be.

In section 0776.013, the castle doctrine is also noted, but is more expansive, and includes the use of deadly force even if there is no threat of imminent harm.

I agree, but you seemed to be missing the point of the article. The article was not prostitution is bad, it is look at these people profiting of the abuse of children, people who had every reason to believe abuse was occurring but who turned the other way and allowed it to happen as they were making money. So your comments seems to be ignoring the article entitling and instead picking a different battle, a battle that was not bring waged.
All true, but very hard to fix. At some point, you want funding to go to people with a proven track record, and you want to know who such a person is.

That said, double-blind at review time for papers into conferences/journals makes a lot of sense, and does (in my experience) absolutely help level the playing field a bit...

I don't know how SoundCloud is managed and what their balance sheet looks like, but it's deeply unfortunate that a site that caters largely to up-and-coming musicians has so much trouble getting out of the red.

Presumably they're hurt by the presence of platforms such as Youtube or the 2010s' rebooted Myspace, where musicians can reach a larger audience and where both sides of the equation are subsidized by ads.

Meanwhile, more focused sites like Beatport appeared to have a successful recipe by selling actual tracks for download despite essentially offering unlimited streaming, yet even they ran into some trouble with their latest pivot.

It's a tough space to make money in, despite seemingly meeting a popular need.

How to prevent different formatting not being obvious before sending in Gmail?
Well, in fact you do need a certain obedience from your new hires.

It's a bit optimistic to believe that every choice a team makes is 100% rational. Choice of a certain technology, coding language, coding style, management methodology, all these things are fairly cultural in the sense that people tend to push for things they're more confortable with.

My point is that integrating 2 teams of people where each group has a strong culture is a hard thing to do. It's really natural to form camps.

For instance, you're the cto of your company, and one of your principle is to limit your dependency on third party components. And you hire a team, where their culture is to build quickly on a lot of 3rd party libraries.

Nobody's fundamentally right or wrong, but the new hires will think that "we've joined this super controlling company that ties our hands and we can't do shit". And the cto will think: "crap we've hired this team of cowboys who will add a lot of operational risk to our processes".

And in a meeting where you try to explain your principles, it's way harder to impose your culture when you're fighting 10 people than if you fight 1 person.
Oh god, again with this.

Regardless of what the law says, in practice, breaking TSA equipment, interfering with TSA duties and, above all else, pissing off a TSA officer are all arrestable offences.

If there’s any question about culpability, all they have to do is ask you, “Is there anything in your baggage you think we should know about?” and if you don’t disclose it then, you’re screwed.

What? You say you were never asked such a question? You say you even tried to warn them? Well I have sworn testimony from a TSA officer that says they ALWAYS ask that question, and you’re the guy who was caught carrying a piece of equipment designed for trickery and vandalism. Case dismissed.

Mistrust of authority and aversion to bureaucracy isn't really a "left" OR a "right" thing though. That's why libertarians, for example, are often referred to as "left of left and right of right".

I'd go as far as to say that "left" and "right" don't even really mean anything anymore. Those terms now are just pejoratives that refer to a perceived group that "doesn't agree with me". I mean, who in this day and age has a strong stake in the preservation of the French monarchy?
No, why should there be? If you own a domain name you can get a DV cert for that domain name. It's that simple.

There shouldn't be any policing at all of which domain names are allowed to have certificates.
What are your experiences with outsourcing prospecting/sales leads outsourcing?
Hey guys,
we're thinking about extending our mailing tool into platform/marketplace where sales reps can hire professionals who will prospect and gather sales leads for them (with all marketplace features like ratings, price-per-lead, etc.).
Just wanted to ask:

- if you have any experience with that?

- would you try to outsource prospecting?

- how many days would be acceptable to wait for, e.g. HQ 100 prospect?

- how much would you be willing to pay for that?

Feel free to share any other feedback/suggestions you have!
Thanks
That's true for every combination of language / platform where the languages differ. Rewriting AST parsers for every language would be nuts. Overall this vastly increases accessibility / choice when it comes to languages. That's purely a good thing. People are still free to make hyper-optimized versions for whatever case they would like to.

Yes, but if LE was the only major CA, then if you could attack "Company A" by impersonating them and making lots of signing requests causing them to hit rate limits you could take "Company A" offline.

If LE was found to be incompetent and lost control of their private key, browsers would be much less willing to remove them as trusted if they were a significant portion of the web.

And things like the impact of DDoSing LE to take their OCSP servers down and things like that still grow with their size.

To clarify, I love LE and I use them almost exclusively. But I'd feel better if there were others trying to follow in their footsteps.

10x? Right now a Tesla has 250 miles of range, and an ICE car has 400 miles. You might want more because of the faster refill time of gas, but recharge time is coming down for electric.

The Model 3 coming off the lines in the next few days is the same price as a Honda Civic.

So... 2x in range and 1.0 in price sound good? That's probably 3-4 years out at the current rate of improvement in battery technology.
Speaking of password management, it would make it a lot more convenient if website login pages supported single field login. What I mean by single field login is allowing both the username and the password in the same field, so that a single copy/paste from the password manager to the browser could fill in both.

Suggested implementation: provide separate username and password fields that work normally when both are filled, but if the username field is empty then check the password field for something of the form username/password (or something like that, details depending on the username and password rules for the site).
Like impact factor? This is done already and it is very flawed.
