> Not really - there's a reason why the Android phones that have tap to wake require two taps in quick succession, or similar. It's very difficult to accidentally trigger it.

That's not my experience. When I put the phone in my pocket I have to take care of positionning the back against my body otherwise my skin through the jeans trigger pocket calls.
I'm not going to make assumptions about other peoples use cases. If your use case demands that an email be immediately accepted, then the idea is not necessarily terrible.

Regardless, that's why I said it should be configurable.
I work on embedded devices and no one really cares whether changing a setting takes 30 seconds or 30 milliseconds. It does not matter that most of the RAM is wasted by unnecessary copies of unnecessary data. People still buy these devices as long as they solve a problem at the end of the day.

I personally don't agree with this reasoning, but that's how businesses operate.
One of my first jobs was as a technician at a tech support call center. For a while around 1997-1998, a good 1/3 of our calls were customers who ordered a new system with a hard drive over 2.1GB, but Windows/DOS could only make partitions as large as 2.1GB. Customers wondered why they got a smaller hard disk than they ordered, not realizing the extra space was that Drive D under My Computer.

Fast forward to today, where my MacBook keeps nagging me that my "hard disk" (actually an SSD) is "full" because I only have 3GB of free space. In 20 years, what was once considered the maximum is now considered negligible.

Optimization is important, but regardless, software size is going to keep growing. Wringing hands over it doesn't help much.

I beg to differ. These guys have spent the whole of their professional careers discussing various tradeoffs, attacks, and sources of attack surface as related to decentralized blockchains.

I guess a statement like yours and a counter like mine is difficult to back up with evidence, but if you look for some of the technical debates realted to SegWit, Bitcoin Unlimited, Bitcoin Classic, Emergent Consensus, etc, it's pretty obvious that the bitcoin core developers are well ahead of their opponents even in the realms of economics and politics.

Bitcoin has a lot of defenses to manipulative politics in place already, including the fact that it's intentionally very difficult to hardfork the newtork, and including the fact that releases follow a fixed schedule (which makes it much harder to shoehorn in features).

The characterization that the core devleopers focus primarily on code and traditional software engineering falls far short of the reality.

California occasionally has to pay other states to take excess power.
1. Why do most of the developers strongly oppose a hardfork? Isn't that primarily an economic issue (i.e., is it good for the price/ecosystem for there to be warring factions), or is there some technical concern I'm missing?

2. You seem to be well-informed and (which can be rare in this space) cool-headed. Any recommendations for the best readings/websites/forums/users to follow, with a high signal-to-noise ratio?

Thanks.

> Do they have a track record of making trusted CAs misissue certificates?

Probably not. Any CA missisuing certs intentionally (whether by government coercion or not) probably wouldn't remain trusted for long. So if the Chinese government is doing something like that, the public is certainly not aware of it, else there wouldn't be any Chinese CAs left that are still trusted.

Looks like they took a page out of Microsoft's 90s EEE playbook. If they can get things to go as planned, in 2 years ublock will be removed from the chrome store because it's "unnecessary" and before long we'll be served the same ads as now only with no way to clock them in chrome.

You could use static analysis to find out if anything calls objects dynamically by name at run time which could be a useful optimization. To be safe this would be one bool value for the entire code base, but with some care it would help. A larger issue is size is simply not considered a significant issue.
Scribd | Senior Recommendations/Search Engineer | San Francisco | VISA | ONSITE

Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to re-imagine the way the world reads.

Stack: Ruby on Rails (we are one of the largest Rails sites), Go, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, Spark (Scala).

Hyundai, Chevy, and Nissan are doing sold work, too. Like it or not, the Leaf was the first mass adopted full size, purpose built EV available in the US at a reasonable price. It's a great car, and the next gen being released this week (!!!) has an estimated 200mi range[0]. Hyundai just released the Ioniq with 120 miles (200+ expected next gen) range, and the highest average KW/Mile efficiency of any EV ever made [1], at a price point < $30k sticker price before incentives.

All told, there will be 6 mass production EVs from 6 different manufacturers with ~200 mile range or greater at the $30k price point or below by this time next year. Exciting stuff.

Scalyr | Backend, Frontend, Customer Success Engineers | San Mateo, CA | ONSITE

I've built half a dozen startups, including Writely (aka Google Docs), and I can honestly say that Scalyr is my favorite so far. We're building an amazing team, users rave about our product, and things are taking off – we're closing seven-figure contracts and revenue grew 5x last year. And we're doing it on a sane, 40-hour, daily-team-hike, Fridays-at-home schedule. We're pre-series-A, but in many ways playing like a series B company, so this is a chance to get the best of both worlds -- early-stage equity and impact, with later-stage compensation and stability; plus a very strong team for peering or mentorship.

Backend Engineer: We've built a NoSQL data engine from scratch that searches text at 750 GB/second. How'd you like to help us scale and optimize to multiple TB/second?

Frontend Engineer: "The fastest blog in the world" (https://jacquesmattheij.com/the-fastest-blog-in-the-world) loads in under 100 ms. Help us push our data visualization tools toward that goal.

Customer Success Engineer: our customers are engineers. We're looking for someone with lightweight ops experience and good communication skills to help them get the most out of Scalyr. A great opportunity to join a high-powered team and work your way up the engineering ladder.

Seattle-area hardware engineer looking for new full-time opportunities. 7+ years of experience makes me fully housebroken and has given me the pleasure of working on some amazing engineering. I've got an especially broad range of skills to complement depth in hardware design, so I'm equally comfortable talking to a mobile front-end engineer, machinist, or medical researcher.

I love hardware design (including PCB layout, I can and have done layout for days on end) but software's fun too, the lower level the better. (Setting up a new microcontroller platform, wrangling interrupt handlers and peripheral initialization and timer ticks? Sign me up! Node.js? Not really for me.)

Well as far as I know X already tend to grow since Bitcoin introduction and it's a big point of discord between developers ("should we increase block size" argument as far as I know).

Now to be more accurate it might rather be a growth according to a logistic curve. Right now Bitcoin is used only by early adopters, but should Bitcoin usage diffuse among general customers it will growth quasi exponentially before plateauing.

Shameless plug: I did something similar earlier this year[1]. But instead of running the bot locally, I run it on Google App Engine to provide an HTTPS API. I also have an Android app to call the API to forward Android notifications.

My motivation is a little bit different. I made this because Telegram has great Android Auto support, and also has an easy to use Bots API, so I can convert non-Android-Auto-compatible notifications into Android Auto notifications. I explained my motivation in detail in a blog post. [2]

That's just fearmongering.

If nothing else, foreign contractors could be used to build nuclear in the US.

Not holding people accountable because it may look bad is one of the reasons that incompetence festers, and leads to failures like this one.

Westinghouse, by going bankrupt, has been held somewhat accountable, so perhaps my request was somewhat satisfied. I imagine that's little comfort to the utilities rate payers though.
This makes sense, a much better way to do things.
