I know this goes against the usual attitude about remote work around here but...

That flow-chart at the bottom is hilariously true. I've been a part of remote work as both a manager and an engineer, and this is exactly how it is because of different locations, the lo-fi aspect of existing remote collaboration tools, and the activation energy required to communicate more often (and if you're in different timezones, good luck to you!).

If you're an engineer that wants to really understand what you're trying to build and why, or if you want to be part of the problem-identification stage rather than just implementing someone's specs, this type of arrangement will drive you insane.

Some engineers are perfectly happy with a detailed spec though. For them, I completely understand the lure of remote work.

As of a couple months ago, Ethereum was averaging 50% of Bitcoin's transaction volume[1]. On June 11, Ethereum did more transactions than Bitcoin[2]. It managed this even though many of Ethereum's transactions are much more complex than Bitcoin's simple value transfers. According to the devs, the current version will top out around 10 to 12 tx/sec; Bitcoin has been stuck at 3.

So I think it's safe to say that Ethereum could easily absorb Bitcoin's transaction volume, even without Ethereum's planned scalability upgrades.

In the case of the scw subreddit it was actually the reddit admins forcing the issue while the subreddit mods heavily opposed it.

So even if you created uncensored subreddits, you would most likely have the admins swoop in just to delete them.

Sure. And maybe that's what will happen. But now you have pre-defined tricky situations. Everyone builds those very specific situations into their systems but may not really generalize them.
Research on the 'ecology' of end user computing would be quite interesting and might inform future products.

Personal anecdote: I put the date in yyyymmdd format in many of my file names for teaching documents so I can order by time easily. Gnome Shell when it first came out had an 'activity journal' feature (like Win XP I recollect) based on the zeitgeist functionality[1] which I found really handy. You could view your history, click a bar (like on wayback machine) and get the docs. A versioning system based on that would be wicked. Alas, this initiative seems to have died.

XAML/WPF is close enough to XAML/UWP that you could keep a codebase for both relatively clean and easy to support. (As someone that had to do a bunch of work to maintain a codebase with both XAML/WPF and XAML/Silverlight front-ends, I have very little sympathy to give to anyone that thinks otherwise.)

These days it's getting even easier with Xamarin adding support for WPF, but even without that sort of hand-holding there have always been options.

XAML/WPF is much better than "no backwards compatibility" if you needed to support a UWP-first application on Windows 7. Certainly there were more issues moving the other direction, but particularly/mostly if you had skipped architecting for Silverlight as an intermediate step.
It sounds like you think you are being sarcastic, but this is actually what will happen.

I've struggled with this before on this site. People love to pull out fallacies. But they forget that fallacies are only fallacies if they are used as a counterargument. And even when they are used in such a way, the other side then has to deal with fallacy fallacy. You can't immediately discredit an argument just because it contains a fallacy.

I have not used MS Paint in many, many years, but I have some fond memories of playing with it on my first PC.

I can understand, though, how this upsets people that have made it part of their workflow. For simple tasks, Paint is nice because it starts really fast compared to e.g. GIMP. And it's on every ____ing Windows machine, you can rely on that. Same as notepad or calc. These programs, after all, are there for a reason.

(I am not on Windows 10, my work laptop runs Windows 7, and at home I don't use Windows, so this does not affect me directly.)
Thanks for the link!

This passage stuck out at me:

"But we were all told a decade ago, when the Soviet Union collapsed, that hierarchical organizations simply did not work as modes of organizing economic life--that you needed a market in order to achieve anything better than low-productivity, bureaucracy-ridden economic stagnation.

What, then, are all these large corporations--ATT and IBM, General Motors and Toyota, Microsoft and USX--doing? What methods of corporate control have saved them from turning into smaller versions of the unproductive Soviet economy?"

Given some of the tales of corporate excesses that I have heard, I would answer... absolutely nothing.

Thankfully we are still far enough away from the situation where a few megacorporations dominate our everyday lives (as worrying as the recent trends are) that society at large is shielded from this.

I'd swear Verizon FIOS is throttling YouTube recently for me, the quality is getting worse and worse. Constant buffering even at 720p. Forget 4K these days, which used to be perfectly fine a year ago. With the current FCC I'm afraid it's just going to get worse.
DAV was always incredibly unreliable when you tried to host it yourself. Remember the original web servers + browsers, as one would support some new feature and another would break it? It was like that.

SyncML was pretty rock solid and interoperable when you could find support for it, but the damn thing was such a nightmare to implement that the only open source implementations were buried inside groupware solutions.
I have been researching this space recently, what turned me off was them scanning ports and then reporting to ISPs, supposedly because people were running vulnerable versions, but reporting could make problems for users because some ISPs don't allow servers on home connections.

And here's the money quote: "The effort has been quite successful. Of the tens of thousands server owners who were informed, over 5% had upgraded already in the first ten days."[1] In other words 95% were left vulnerable and they were responsible for it. Does not inspire trust.

His point of view shouldn't matter. He's work is not a philosophical text, it's an empirically based model that explain a part of a real system. You do see physicists complaining around that, an interpretation of quantum mechanics is a bad one, but it's always in a "it does not really matter" context, the same should apply to economics.

Anyway, some times I wonder if economists shouldn't use nonsense made-up names, like physicists do. Coarse's "transaction costs" include way more than contract settling and money transfer taxes. The use of that meaningful term confuses the hell out of everybody, and we get people talking about simplifying contracts in contexts where the highest costs are around acquiring shared knowledge.

Facial recognition is improving so rapidly that having an extra microchip does not seem to add much value for identifying people. It's simpler to get the same information from cameras, which are ubiquitous. On the GPS side there's all that location data streaming out of your cell phone, not to mention the semantic information about what you are looking at/doing on the Internet.

There's a lot to be concerned in the privacy realm but many of the threats are already implemented and getting more effective very quickly.

5 years old Java code is really no problem as long as it uses maven as build tool (and don’t use long deprecated code generation tools).

This is the main difference l see between maintaining old Java code and e.g old Delphi code:

In maven/java I can run a couple of commands to build it, open it in any of my three favourite IDEs (Netbeans, IntelliJ and Eclipse in that order) and it just works.

In other languages there is often some dependency hunt involved before you can even start. Bonus for dependencies that must be installed using .exe installers, in a specific order (hint: if you don't get it right - good luck with cleaning the registry before trying another installation order.)

I might have been very unlucky in my encounters with legacy code in other languages but so far every encounter makes me love the Java ecosystem more.

(Although I'll happily admit that parts of it might be related to the fact that Java developers seems to avoid using non oss code to a much larger degree than anyone else - maybe except from php and js devs?)

That could still exist with Ethereum.

> SSL is hardly related. It's just a mean to secure a transaction and that's it.

Your browser's code trust the code on the server hosting the SSL cert and authority server. So, it's just code involved here.

> If I buy a laptop on amazon and they sneakily bill me for two tons of whole grain rice flour and when I complain they said "but it was in the terms and conditions", do you think it would hold up in court

Again, you could also sue someone for tricking you into a bad ethereum contract and it would not hold in court either. Not sure what your point is here.

> Ah, and it's clearly something we aim to emulate, right?

No it is not, my point is that bad things happen no matter who's involved (humans or code) and just because some bad things may happen doesn't mean we should stop using it, but we should go with the most efficient and secure one, which for now is probably humans of course. See also plane crashes.

On yet a third hand I can't feel all that bad for this guy since he someday stands to inherit a house worth millions of dollars.

He's 29 years old, so his parents could be in their 50's. So living in a garage and then inheriting a million dollar house 20 years from now after his kids are grown and out of the house (well, garage) doesn't sound like much to be happy about.

I've also been looking for such a solution for years, and except for the short-lived Flock by the Open Whisper Systems people, I couldn't find anything. That's why I finally decided to create it almost a year ago.

Edit: you just edited your reply while I was writing mine, to answer your additional question:

For a variety of reasons, the browser is not a safe environment for such an application, at least not currently. There is however a CalDAV/CardDAV gateway (beta) that you can host locally and essentially use any application that supports those to quickly edit your data, or alternatively, if you are a programmer, there's an open source (like everything from EteSync) python API (both low-level and high-level) that you can use to manipulate the data.

Hi Ruben, founder of Kite here. I think this issue deserves a more thorough response because there are a lot of misrepresentations in the article.

One misrepresentation that I wanted to quickly highlight is that the autocomplete-python install flow has three steps, not just the one linked in to in the screenshot above. The other two are:

Enter their email address - https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/87728/28395016-dc7...

Read a warning, decide if they want to whitelist any files - https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/87728/28395021-e04...

Small technicality: these screenshots say that Kite is installing but it's actually only downloading the installer binary to memory; the actual install doesn't happen unless the user goes through all three steps.

It's also worth noting that if the user clicks "Add Later" no code is sent to the Kite servers for analysis until they whitelist a directory.
Limiting Netflix is a poor way to approach that; they should instead be limiting users on the tower, dividing up the bandwidth there, regardless of what you're accessing. If capping flows at 10M helps, then they should apply it to everyone.
Line cooks, dish washers, night cleaning staff, and bus boys are often male. People "out front" are often female for various reasons.

When I worked in a cafeteria, the men and boys often did the dirtier and heavier work like stocking freezers, cleaning grease traps, etc. I don't think it needs to be this way, but it's what happened. I'm not sure if that's typical or not, but it probably affects the longevity in food service work over time.

That is, different work cultures and different managers may treat men differently.
Paint is still my preferred way to save screenshots. Press the Print Screen button, paste into Paint, draw a red line, save.

> they become dependent on society to pick-up your failure to provide a proper environment to your employees. You've essentially subsidized your business by deporting the negative externalities of "living wage" and "humane work environment" to the tax-payers.

This line of thinking is beyond insane to me. We seem to agree that people who don't earn enough to pay for a defined minimum standard of living should be taken care of:

Why is it a _bad_ thing that society is the one bearing the cost, instead of an arbitrary purchaser of their labor? If this responsibility exists, how does it not exist for all of us? And since the government is the expression of our collective will, why is the government not the appropriate entity to handle it? The notion that this is "subsidizing" purchasers of their labor is Orwellian bullshit.
Does this mean that half of the bitmap OLE objects will break in a few months to come?
Gas is analogous to cycles of the EVM that the contracts uses when it executes. Someone suggested 'gas' should have been called 'cycles' to more clearly convey its meaning and avoid a lot of confusion. Anyway, gas/cycles must be limited given there are no access controls on use of the EVM. It's an effective DoS control. It's also orthogonal to Turing Completeness.
You remember incorrectly. The famine was the result of laissez-faire capitalism (Wiki-1) combined with active discrimination against the majority Catholic population which explicitly interfered with the paternalist regulation of land in the interests of the majority.

And Ireland is not the only EU nation with a history of positive land reform movements in the late 19th and early 20th century.

> The real answer is probably that total languages are obscure and the Ethereum inventors didn't know about them so they chose a simple and ordinary stack machine.

I'm not an expert on Ethereum, but even if they did pick a total language, how would you deal with bounding the CPU cost of complex contracts? Even if you could formally verify a loop would eventually terminate, wouldn't long running loops or those with expensive computations have bad impacts on the network? Their "gas" system is their way of dealing with that and perhaps you would still need something similar even with a total language.

I can't think of program verification research where both termination and CPU cost is verified. I can think of some papers that deal with identifying Big Oh growth rates though.

Either way, smart contracts sound like one of the top tier areas where you want strong static typing that has a route to be formally verified.
Understood and my point was that anytime I see AI used in articles these days, they seem to be referring to statistical computing solutions. I know AI can also refer to rule based algorithms, but I rarely see it applied in those contexts these days.

Put another way, does anyone read the above statement and think "MS is developing a chip to accelerate A*?"
Well, we have a problem, then. Currently the whole of commerce and the whole of industry consider it a moral imperative to pay less than a living wage to workers, because that's how the value proposition shakes out when you include all possible sources of labor local and global, and include the option to automate away the labor entirely.

It's considered a moral imperative to seek the lowest cost and highest efficiency. Far from being 'not allowed to continue', any business that can legitimately arbitrage its labor so that it's paying less or substantially less than a living wage for equivalent labor, is celebrated and encouraged with the full force of societal capital. No other consideration is allowed to happen.

FDR's thinking absolutely doesn't apply anymore. Maybe it should, or maybe this just reveals the fact that our economic system is now orthoganal to human survival as a species.

I'm schizotypal so I'm not as bad but I can definitely echo these sentiments, and I would also say that dismissing someone's experiences is incredibly invalidating, especially when it comes to just trying to make friends. I struggle reading human behavior over my paranoia and people can be upset and call me an abusive person for my asking their behavior or seeking their confirmation for their behavior, which often itself becomes them behaving in a gaslighting manner to me in order to prevent me from questioning them. It's really upsetting because I cannot tell if what I am understanding from people's behavior is correct and I am scared of asking.
