The only tech you need to technically believe in is that blockchain could be used as a currency - which it already does act as, and then it is a matter of adoption.
Because it strips away your right to "own" software. Transmit 4 still works, and I can choose to pay for an upgrade if I wanted to. Transmit 5 is faster, nicer looking, and has more features, but I don't suddenly lose access to Transmit 4 by not upgrading. Charge me and upgrade fee and make versions, don't do a subscription.
While not native but I believe there is a way to access Google Cloud storage with Transmit.

Also due to some being unhappy with the moderation of /r/bitcoin there's a separate community called /r/btc. Then again, there are many communities on Reddit that have split up due to disagreements about moderation, such as for example /r/meirl vs the previously vastly more popular /r/me_irl [1]. (The latter of these still has about 3x the amount of subscribers though, but /r/me_irl has grown to become large indeed.)

Thought that'd be obvious seeing as how the text I quoted and entire article is referring to psychiatric drugs.
"That's fair, and perhaps precision could be part of the structure. The default is "exactly", but there are options for adding according to taste, judgment, mood, whatever, and some way of expressing a suggested range."

Yes, that is ideal. List exactly what you did in your ingredients list. Then add information about what you change and the impact of this. Kenji López-Alt's recipe is the perfect example of this. I prefer starting from the Jacques Torres' recipe but I still go back to Kenji's article. It shows me the impact of moving any of the dials for the cookie I want.

"Note also that a lot of times the variations are to account for some other inherent variation, like adjusting the sugar in a pie depending on how sweet your fruit is."

Yes, but that should be called out.

The key thing is that a recipe should be an actual recipe. It should be precise documentation that allows you to reproduce a product as much as possible. Prose is what actually is teaching you how to cook.
Yes, but probably not much advice as to APIs or technical implementations that caused problems. I'd like to hear from founders.
I'm amused to find that XTerm still include a Tektronix 4014 emulator.
This is true. But mastercard facilitates the liquidation of this credit via their payment systems, which people will continue to use. Initially people will likely use ether as a store of value/hedge against the traditional economy. Also dapp fuel, as we all hope.

Furthermore, take a look at coinbase as an example of a company profiting heavily on this new payment system. Mastercard has an opportunity to capture some of the new value being created in the ecosystem. They don't have to fall off the map if we all start using ether. If they do, they failed to innovate. I suspect their execs understand this.
One thing that leaps out at me any time I revisit 90s visionary culture is the optimism. I can't imagine that kind of optimism post-9/11. We still have not recovered as a culture from that day. If anything it's getting progressively worse with the barely veiled mainstreaming of things like neo-Naziism.
this is a great idea. How many times have you looked at reviews on recipes.com or whatever and the first 10 include a half dozen substitutions, basically making a different end product entirely? each of those reviews could instead be a fork. awesome!
I'm really surprised at seeing Govt. of Andhra Pradesh here. Curious how they got here in the first place.
Ethereum is a platform and is not meant to be a payment system per se. One can however build a payment system (and other things) on top of the platform.
They're telling you the actual internal culture. Your argument here seems to be since you don't believe that, they should just tell you their corporate policies instead. Those are an entirely different thing. Work hours, vacation time and HR complaint guidelines aren't corporate culture.

It's a bit like a rubber-duck debugger. You open it up, describe your problem, think about things for a while. You might even pretend to interview yourself, say.

The things you write will be messy, and probably not worth keeping. So, this is a space where you can write those things with the expectation that you'll throw away what you wrote, except for the few things that matter.

I don't know how common this form of writing is. Many people describe writing as a process of clarifying ideas, but I think they usually mean writing for an audience, as with a blog.

Real persistence (not just localstorage) is something I might add, perhaps as a paid feature.

The whiteboarding analogy isn't quite right, since the tool isn't for drawing (and no drawing features are currently planned). It's the whiteboarding workflow that I'm intending to copy (mess around, get some good ideas, then erase the board).

I'd much prefer a hybrid model. Happy to pay $30 or so for a single version and then $1-$2/mo for updates. If I stop paying at least I have something.

The app Gameshow by Telestream works like this and I really like the model. It's $35 and you get one year of updates. After a year you either stick with whatever the last point release was or you pay another $35. I wish Adobe software was like this.
The cause of SADS is very often a congenital heart defect. The high heart rate and blood pressure associated with endurance efforts is a good way of triggering an underlying defect that may be benign in a relaxed state.

But to state that these people died because they "underprepared" is ridiculous. That's like saying you could have prevented dying from a brain tumor by doing more crossword puzzles. Just as a tumor, a congenital defect was just a bad dice throw. Exercise triggered it, but so could running to catch a bus.
I am not aware of any lawsuits involving Oracle over code used in accordance with its license. The Google lawsuit was over code that Google believed the license did not apply to, and they could therefore use not in accordance with the terms. In any event, the license of Doug Lea's code is creative commons.

Personally, I take all quotations like the ones in the article with a huge grain of salt. There's often enough of a communication barrier that even good reporters can misunderstand an answer, or for the researcher to be answering a different question than the reporter asks. And there's also the possibility that the researcher just had a failure of memory.
I tend to agree but think some developers do consider certain software "finished" and a subscription model adds undue pressure. Whether that model makes sense really depends on the type of software, its user base and the developer themselves.

OneNote for broad concepts and Google Keep for day to day. Tips:

OneNote - use tags. I mostly use the checkbox and question tags. You can pull up every unchecked checkbox in a document or review everything labeled a question. Great for finding things you forgot to finish. I borrowed from Wiki and made an stub tag for things I want to fill out later after I'm done brainstorming.

OneNote - put double brackets around a word or phrase to create and link to a page with that name. Great wiki functionality.

Keep - Pin important actionable items. Make a widget and put it on your homescreen. Set it up so that at the end of a productive day your todo list is empty.

Keep - Use location based reminders. This feature alone has saved me many trips to the hardware store.

Keep - Use hashtags to tag items. A great way to jot down ideas and review sets of them at a later date.

Coincidentally, EXTROPY magazine and its associated brand of techno-libertarianism was more reflective of where we have actually ended up. I have an old issue from 1995 that focuses on digital money that more or less advocates what we know now as cryptocurrency, including an imaginary monetary unit called Hayeks. With that said, stuff like cryonics and immortality is still pretty marginal.

>Presumably the permission should come _before_ the reset? After the reset, all the data is gone anyway, and asking the password at that point seems pointless since

The point, in this case, is not to keep the data secure, but to disincentivise theft of the device. You cannot resell a phone that prevents someone from using the device.

>I read it as - "I did a completely normal thing like performing a factory reset of a consumer device (something that people have been doing for over a decade)"

To be clear, doing a factory reset wasn't the privacy-conscious thing. Using a throwaway google account to set up the device was. The flow in this case is that the phone will say something like "please enter the username and password of the old account on this device before logging in with a new user account." If they knew the password to their old account, there wouldn't be any issue.

I factory reset devices fairly often and so I run into this a lot, and its not an issue because I know the password to the google account that I use.
This is a brilliant idea and I love the minimal design. I was most inspired when I found that all the data is easily accessible through GitHub. I think the most important missing piece right now is authentication - if you implemented GitHub OAuth you could make it much easier for people to make contributions and record their progress without having to roll out your own authentication. You could also potentially save a user's progress and custom mind maps in a gist, eliminating the need to even have your own database.

I checked out the roadmap (https://learn-anything.github.io/2017/06/15/roadmap.html) and your comment below about a visual editor, and am now so excited to see where this project goes and hope to find ways I can contribute to it!

Base 12 is nice and I would prefer it over base 10. But that would probably been too big of a change to get actually implemented (especially globally) even during the tumults of french revolution, so that is not really my main gripe with metric system.

The most obvious problem is the definitions and "values" of the base units. The (current) defintions involve such nice round numbers like 299792458, 9192631770, 273.16, and so on. I can appreciate that nature might not allow aligning all the units in a perfectly harmoniuous matter, but surely we can do better than this.

Then there is of course the big kilogram debacle that we are still trying to figure out. In addition to the fact that it is defined via an artifact, it also is the only base unit with a prefix, mostly by accident.

While everything else in metric system is mostly nicely aligned with decimal system, the attempt to reform time failed, so we are stuck there with the legacy unit(s). I would had preferred to have the time base unit to be (roughly) 1/1000th of a day rather than 1/86400th of day. Admittedly basing time on earth rotation lacks certain degree of universality that other base units have, so maybe altogether different base would have been a good idea.

These days metric system is associated mostly with 10^(n*3) prefixes, but that is relatively new feature. That is something I would have liked to have from day 1 so that we wouldn't have a cacophony of centimeters and deciliters in common use.

Oh, and mentioning liters gets us to the confusing world of area and volume units. Originally metric system had a(c)res and liters, but then they noticed that they are not that great and switched to square and cubic meters. Except of course people didn't follow and I think in pretty much every metric country at least liters are still in common use.

It might have been a good idea to retain those specialized units, because of the ambiguity problems of prefixed sq/cu meters. At least personally I think it would be more convenient (if maybe not as elegant) that mm³ would be 10^-3 cubic meters instead of the current 10^-9 cubic meters. Now if we are sticking to the "main" prefixes, we don't have anything between mm³ (which is tiny amount) and m³ (which is large amount).

From a purely notational perspective, it would have been nice to have bit more consistency with the naming and symbols of the units and prefixes. Some of the units are named after people, some are not, so some of them have capital letter as symbol, others a lower-case. And to mix things up, some units (even base units) have two or three letter symbols. Of course ohms are the special snowflake that deserve a greek letter.

Prefixes mostly follow the rule that capitals are >0 and lowercases <0. Thats nice, except kilo strikes again as an exception. And again a greek letter sneaked in just to make sure that typesetting units remains a challenge. How many times have you seen µ substituted with a u?

I probably could go on, but yeah, it sure is not perfect system.
I did wonder if being fully free might encourage more users who might fund you in other ways but Borg backup isn't making very much like that, so perhaps not: https://www.bountysource.com/teams/borgbackup

The AGPL license might be a step in the right direction (for your requirements). It aims to at least ensure that if companies use the code to provide a service to other users, they have to release their changes. You can sell those companies a different license if they don't want to accept the AGPL (you'd have to have a contributor agreement to assign copyright to you though, to allow you to relicense code at your discretion like that).

Or there is the open core model (like nginx-plus), where you provide the code under an open source license but provide some additional "enterprise" features (like your vmware stuff) to only those that pay. I'm not a fan but it seems to work for some.

Anyway, duplicacy sounds a great design. All the best with it!

It's meant to be a pun for "kitchen sink," and also to work with the notion of "sync"-ing. It's pronounced like "sink." Cinc is the number 5 in Catalan and refers to the amount of senses we use when cooking.
You're debating the concept of words themselves. Which have meaning. It's the mechanism through which words work. They have both a meaning in context and out of context. They have meaning both intended and unintended. Good technical documentation should strive to minimize unintended interpretations by using the most clear and concise words possible.
The idea for this has been around for a for a while. http://forkthecookbook.com/ goes back to 2012.

And its an interesting idea. Recipes can't be copyrighted and and recipes are generally derivative. The data is generally well structured, and fairly standardized (ingredients, equipment, instructions, photo, with optional fields for prep & cook time, servings, notes, difficulty, etc). But there are two primary issues:

1. Recipes don't really have a single inheritance. For example, I cook a lot & really enjoying cooking, but when I'm trying to make something new, I won't follow a recipe. I will read a bunch recipes, and try to understand the underlying ideas & steal the ones I think are interesting, then implement my own. So say I look up Tufo Matar find 3 recipes the make my own, if I want to contribute which recipe do I fork?

2. This may have been dealt with by the use of stars. when I was using forkthecookbook, there was no way of "bookmarking" recipes and the so users forked them, which lead to the results having huge number of identical forks. That being said it seems like the star system may resolve that. But currently it looks as though unmodified copies of the recipes still appear in the Forks list, which makes it harder to find benifical changes. Also it would be nice to have a history section with a message summarizing what changed.

All that said this does look nice.

Additionally, a nice feature to have would be to "import" a recipe, though since phrasing of a recipe is protected this gets a little bit legally complicated.

I can see a business sense for subscription software. They have an aversion to capital expenditures and much prefer operational expenditures. It helps them scale up and down and stay nimble.

As an individual, I really don't like having to constantly make a judgement call if I'm still getting value out of my recipe manager or my disk usage analyzer. Most of the development was done up front, as with the risk in developing it. There's also not really continuous updates or a lot of new features always needed.

When people sit down to budget, the first things people ask about are reoccurring expenses that can be minimized or eliminated; cheaper cellphone plan, cutting out daily lattes, cable bill--even investment fees. They easily sneak in and add up over time.
A few questions:

- Can only businesses buy Glass?

- What is the pricing model? Is this sold as a product, or is it paid for as a subscription service?

- Will there be a "play store" equivalent for software for Glass?
