No one talks about the far larger fraud committed by the tech companies we all love so much, who externalize the cost of maintaining and expanding the internet to end users.

That ~$80 you pay for internet at home and the $100 yo pay or mobile internet per person ... yeah, that's a market distortion that comes from "Net Neutrality" (the feel good term conjured by the big tech companies, in whom's interest it is for you to continue paying for their costs and therefore their profits as they destroy and eat the economy instead of having to pay those costs). Because who would want to have to pay for a cost when you can just use some useful idiots that you already have convinced to freely be harvested of all their information value, to also defend their paying for your profits as you rape and pillage the economy.

The author links the term violent speech to speech that induces stress, thus creates a physical and mental toll on the organism. The term has a huge room for abuse compared to, what you described, insighting violence. Insighting violence at least coneys the spirit of invoking people to commit violent acts. Violent speech in itself is violence against me because the room for its abuse stressed me out.
You just need to cover the otherwise unused roofs to build what is essentially a distributed power generator. Maybe even use a 10 kWh battery for backup if it's cheap enough (under $1000) for each PV covered roof.

Sufficient competition in the market would be enough. Unfortunately, the government has allowed total monopoly on fixed line broadband. They've done it in two ways: first through exclusivity contracts with companies such as Verizon, ATT, Cox, and Comcast. They give fat payments in the form of cash, tax breaks, and local monopolies in exchange for the companies to build out infrastructure. Second, they have allowed consolidation in the marketplace to a level that should never have even been considered.

I agree that, long term, only a replacement infrastructure will be a viable solution. Unfortunately the only technology that currently has a chance is 4G/5G mobile service, and it is even more consumer-hostile.

In the mean time, we need Net Neutrality.
Thanks for the feedback, this is indeed a good point, I'm going to work on that
Our brains have many local loops in their neural networks. These local loops inhibit the neurons that activate them. This plays a major role in the stability of brainwave patterns. The neurons of these local loops learn like any other neuron, so inhibition can increase over time. Thus errors are "forward" propagated in a loopy model.
Surprising. Hopefully we see more of this.
*nix, iSeries, cockroaches, and finally, that VAX that someone still has running somewhere.
The target is not static; it is dynamically updated as part of history.

Prefetch chaining is to get code out of DRAM, and it runs DRAM-latency ahead of execution. Separately, fetch chaining is to get the code up to the L1, and it runs L2/L3-latency ahead of execution. Load chaining gets the lines from the L1 to the L0 micro-caches and the decoders, and runs decode-latency (3 cycles on the Mill) ahead of execution.

The Mill stages instructions like this because the further ahead in time an action is the more likely that the action is down a path that execution will not take. We don't prefetch to the L1 because we don't have enough confidence that we will need the code to be willing to spam a scarce resource like the L1. But avoiding a full DRAM hit is important too, so we stage the fetching. It doesn't matter at all in small codes that spend all their time in a five-line loop, but that's not the only kind of codes there are :-)
This would be difficult to determine - as running tests without some changes in non-deterministic way could affect testing or the program's ability to run properly.
You should look at benchmarks of latest iPad Pro vs. Mac laptops. iPad Pro is faster than lower end Mac laptops and only a little bit slower than MacBook Pros.
What do you do with the other 9 months of the year? side projects? travel? Id be interested to hear how your lifestyle is with all the free time.

I've considered this approach myself too but more 6 months on, 6 months off. Scala in particular seems to pay extremely well (£600-£650 /day) so easy to make the money to live a comfortable lifestyle in 3 or 6 months per year. I think other dev contracts are usually around £450 in London which is still more than enough.

Id love a permanent 2-3 day a week job too for work/life balance but those seem non existent for devs unfortunately.

As one of those folks featured on IndieHackers (https://www.submithub.com), I can say that I didn't read a single interview, advice blog or anything of the sort. I just focused on rolling out an MVP that streamlined the problem I was trying to solve. I confess that to this day, I haven't read any of the other interviews on IndieHackers :-D. Oops, hope you're not seeing this Courtland <3
My assembly is probably worse than yours: and that is why I weaseled with "as written". I expect good compiler -- such as the ones we use every day will get this right.

But clever compiler still give me the willies, with their less-than-literal interpretations of the meaning of what I wrote.

I prefer code that is efficient good (whether that means fast, or something else appropriate to the circumstance) when taken literally, and then trust trust the compiler to smooth over my naivity about what efficiency really means.
Mailchimp v. Freshmail
I had a pretty similar setup with a Pixel C for the last year:

http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/working-on-android-2017/

The portability and battery life were great, and since Android has the Termux app available, I could also do vim/git/node.js locally.

Unfortunately I had to give the tablet back when I switched jobs earlier this year. The iPad Pro looks pretty appealing, especially now that there is a Mosh app (Blink Shell), meaning that the SSH connections won't cut out after two minutes of being out of the app.

I have never gotten a cloud service to sync well to a (multiuser) server. Maybe I just didn't try hard enough or it's gotten easier. But syncing to a server so you can compile there is a pain no matter how it's done.

This is the wrong impression. Robocars are being designed to handle the infrastructure we already have, and only low-skill robocar makers are suggesting we need to make significant changes to the infrastructure to enable these vehicles."
Isn't it by design? The Bitcoin difficulty move depending on the mining power, thus lowering or increasing the cost of operating a miner. If it's unsustainable, then miners will go out, the mining power will decrease and it will cheaper again.

I guess an outside force (private corporation or government) can try to leverage that as a weakness by injecting capital into their own mining operation, thus making it unsustainable for miner to operate and then getting the majority but that would be a whole other story (and we would still have ways to mitigate it).

There could also be some kind of critical point where too many miners keep doing it unsustainably, in hope to survive longer than others and stay up (but that would be absurd, they could just start it up again later when it will be sustainable again, but humans are humans...). They all close at a similar point and the difficulty stay way too high and it's literally too expensive to reach the next difficulty change. Even then, we could try to inject cash at that point or developpers may force a difficulty change... but it may be too expensive and we abandon Bitcoin because of that.
"The available data indicates the aircraft entered the sea close to a long, narrow arc in the southern Indian Ocean, the 7th Arc."

"indicates". If it did enter the sea along this arc, wouldn't they have found it? Perhaps the assumption is wrong? Where is the working showing the calculation of this arc? Where is the peer review and discussion of this work calculating this arc? As far as I know it has never been released (correct me if I'm wrong) and the arc has all the hallmarks of a wild goose chase.

Me too. And the drive along the Old Military Road from Shiel Bridge to Glenelg is a great start to the journey (as I'm sure you know).

I'm also reminded of the proposed bridge to Tintagel [1], which is intended to have a gap in the middle to symbolically preserve the island's separateness.

Funny, isn't it, that a free and neutral Internet is one of the key technologies that allowed the acerbic alt-right movement to bubble up from the fringes, to become grassroots, and then mainstream, finally to put Trump in office. Then, his team gleefully work to destroy it. I suppose they think that greedy, unfair measures that currently benefit themselves will never be handed to their opponents. That's a lesson the left never learned. sigh
Open sourcing the PSP code (or probably any other firmware) may not help protect you (or anyone) in terms of security or privacy.

Here is where open source is different from free software, and this is why free software is better than open source.

Say for example, ddwrt, a very popular firmware used in several routers. Or simply saying, Linux (kernel) + busybox, a very popular combination of some open source codes used in several embedded systems: They are simply open source when they run on those systems, not free software. You can't replace their code with some (custom) versions most of the time.

All you get is the source code, you may not be allowed to run custom version. You may not even be able to confirm if the code they gave is the code that is actually being run on those devices.

As always said, that is enough to fit to the terms of "open source". And yes, just another reason why free software is (almost always) better than open source.
The last paragraph is the most interesting one from a policy perspective.

"I have a concern about it increasing Vehicle Miles Traveled because I don’t have the capacity to handle that. We already don’t have enough capacity for the number of miles that are being driven today."

Of course, they'll increase miles traveled even if they're not allowed to drive around empty (which, of course, negates their use as taxis, etc.). Make something easier/cheaper/etc. and you get more of it. I expect this is still quite a ways off before it's a real question but it's going to be a problem for areas where infrastructure is already close to the limit.

Is the API dependent on popularity of songs you listen to? Because I find I dont hit limit until a whole day of use (4 to 6 hours) but guessing this could be because I don't have much popular music in my queue. I ask because I notice that now they introduced advertisements but these also only come up on songs with over 60k plays
I had a side project which was basically this (at least this was my [company] for [x] summary of the project) a couple of years ago. I always wondered why StackOverflow weren't doing it, and after years of wondering this I just built it myself.

I tried to publicise it a bit (not a lot, in fairness) and didn't generate much buzz. I even speculatively applied to YC with it, with the beta written and running, and got no call for an interview even. After that I lost enthusiasm for the idea, and moved on to other things. Seeing this has reminded me of it.

What do people think of this? Useful product? Would you pay for it?
Well, fossil fuels are not an option anyway, but going full nuclear with closed cycle is much cheaper and environmentally safe. The only problem are proliferation concerns...
IME bad trips are mostly determined by how neurotic the tripper is. If you can accurately say that a 25% increase causes a 10% increase in bad trips, you must have quite a lot of experience. I at least know that if some people take one tab and others take two at the same time, the ones who took two don't go flying off the walls.

Saying that a 25% change is more significant for more potent drugs is illogical on the face of it, because a % is a dimensionless quantity. If there is some subtle reason why this trend exists I'd love to hear it.
> How did you access the data?

We signed a contract, fulfulled our obligations, and paid them money

I really don't remember. It might have been SOAP or something. It was an HTTP-based API, but I don't think it was REST specifically.

There was also a 30s or so delay from request to when we'd get the location back.
Unless you are writing date specific code or have seen this bug arise, I probably wouldn't bother. Time bugs will likely creep in regardless, for example how would you find a bug that happens one month a year? How would you find a bug once every four years? Sometimes human knowledge/experience can't be tested out of a system. All test failures probably warrant investigation of some type.

But, as a general rule, I would try to brute force or fuzz your "inputs", a.k.a data out of your control. Random numbers, dates, user input, network packets, etc. Users and environments often act in unexpected ways and you want to make sure your bug finding isn't reduced to accidentally be working on the right day! :)
At work, our first success in this vein was migrating a Python Twisted service to Go. Due to the critical nature of this service, we strove for feature parity. We ended up with a mostly Go-like code base, but it was very similar to the original code base in basic structure. Most of the improvements we got were due to the language choice, not due to a better design.

Our main concern is concurrency, and for that Go excels. Additionally, post re-write, that code base is easier to follow, easier to extend and maintain, easier to deploy, easier to control lower level aspects, and much, much more performant. It was years ago at this point, but I believe our improvement was something like 120x.

Since then, at work, we've moved to Go as our main language for services. This has provided even more wins as we continue to move legacy Perl/AnyEvent code over. With new rewrites (and new projects), we are taking the opportunity to also redesign systems, enabling our software to scale even further. We have lots more to do and we are hiring :)

Of course you can potentially make more than that - if that business is successful. There are no guarantees. It's a lot harder and takes a lot longer than most people think to create a £24K a year business. Just drumming up enough customers is a pain. Remember I get £24k in 3 months and the work is not especially hard.

Sure, if you can hit on a business idea that works, and is stress free, and doesn't take much time and effort to set up, then good luck to you!

I want to emphasize something though - for me the money is not the important thing, as long as I have enough. For me the work-life balance is the priority. Had too much stress in the past to want to go back to that lifestyle again!
So mental! I can't imagine the heat in there, especially in the summer! Those turbine fans are just blowing hot air around. I went to India in March and it was 90+ everyday.

Hmm, it's a minefield for me to speculate about your reasons :)

Maybe you can elaborate a little more what changed your mind?

One good reason for your vote would be however that DT and HC were close to 0 on most scales you could think of (economic understanding, morality, diplomacy, consistency) so you were in a hard position to begin with.

Hell, I would've probably voted the same.

Btw I also feel that I softened my stance due to

- a much better financial position (e.g., if you earn 20k p.a. then 30% tax is a lot; but the same tax rate affects you much less if you earn 80k)

- kids and other things to care for and worry about
All the things you list have terrible APIs, poorly thought out mechanics, mish-mashes of design philosophies. I've built silverlight apps and js ones and I disagree that html/js, even if you can use the bleeding edge, is anywhere near as powerful.

I may dislike javascript, sure, but it doesn't make me any less right that it's stupid that we still have no choice but to program in a particular language in today's effective OS, the browser. I generally use typescript now, but it's still rubbish compared to C# or Ruby or Python or [insert your favourite language]. And I feel the inanity of the present build infrastructure that we end up having to use is such an utter waste of my life.

Just think how much you'd chafe if you were forced to use a language you thought was substandard for 30% of your development time and waste hours or days every now and then wrestling build problems that I shouldn't even be thinking about it.

I certainly don't feel it's a chip, I think it's a perfectly sane response.

IMO, I've wasted time on advice.

The best advice I got was to: Just Do It and Learn While You Go.

Learn from it, and move on. Most of the stuff people told me or I read either is- Baseless Opinion, or not useful and I forget it.
Only in benchmarks. Look at the workflow presented in article. There is no builds required nor CPU heavy processing. But there is a lot of switching between applications, multi windows etc. iOS UI is not prepared for this kind of workflow. Even the newest improvements on iPad Pro are far away from being as useful and as fast as on normal laptop.
I think it's very cool, especially for large teams at big companies, but I'm not sure I can see my company using it. They seem to prefer home-grown solutions for lessons learned and other knowledge bases, because there is inevitably some special feature that someone considers necessary.

Then, of course, you end up with huge exported spreadsheets in every single workflow. sigh
I use Coda to push files to remote servers for exactly this reason. There's a good number of alternatives that are less feature-rich than Coda which can do the same thing. I think Prompt is probably a great alternative if you just want to SSH a file onto a remote box.

Perhaps you're unclear on how large the ocean is, how deep the sea floor is, how rugged the sea floor is, and how little we know about it... even with all of the scanning done.

It's entirely within the realm of possibility that MH370 fell and was covered by a landslide, or fell into a crevasse, or one of many other things.

It's not like the sea floor is a large flat plain with a shiny metal object sitting on top.
I mostly agree. That said, there may be relatively small things that can be done which help out with assistive features like lane keeping or which help out in corner cases--like identifying construction sites--which may be helpful.
