Same could be said of Telegram. Plus, we know their encryption is not really that great because no real encryption expert will stand behind Telegram's encryption and Telegram says "Trust us" when it comes to the subject of their encryption.

Signal tech is open source, can be checked and has been checked. I am pretty sure that if Whatsapp was lying about using the Signal encryption libraries, word would have leaked out of Whatsapp by now. On top of that, I would trust Moxie 100 times more than I would of the owner of Telegram.

Plus, the idea that Whatsapp is taking screen shots and sending it to Facebook is pretty silly. It would be really simple for them to have the messages copied; one going to true receiver and one going to the Facebook servers. There is no need for elaborate spying by Whatsapp, it would be really simple for them to spy on you if they wanted to.

* I am not calling the owner of Telegram dishonest, but in the Moxie vs Pavel Durov debate, I am going with Moxie.
Cheaper than fuel plus investment for peaker plants and cheaper than the storage of your competition. (Sorry, I'm as lost for numbers as you are)
Yes. Writing is one way to become an expert.
It's true that a "checked_as" would come handy from time to time and seems to be in line with the "Rust spirit". But again, since the author seems to be arguing in favor of C it seems like an odd complaint. C even makes it tricky to check for integer overflow while Rust has the checked_ family of functions. In C if you get it wrong it's undefined behavior territory baby.

Ditto with the tuple thing, C doesn't have tuples and won't let you destructure anything.

I guess my overall point is that these complaints seems to pit Rust against some other high level languages like Common Lisp or Haskell but his conclusion is basically "C rulez, Rust droolz".

Because it turns out the good bits are the ledger of transactions made tamper-evident in a Merkle tree, and we had that with Git in 2005 and it works great thanks.

The bit Git doesn't do: distributed consensus via Proof of Work, because it turns out that a bit of trust is fabulously more efficient.

I predict any good and useful product labeled "Blockchain" will be the cryptographically tamper-evident ledger of transactions, and not any of the stuff that makes a blockchain different to Git.

(Researching the book, I had one developer admit that his "blockchain product" was pretty much a simplified Git in terms of what it offered ;-) )

It's probably a drop in an ocean compared to their other services.
Even inexpensive earbuds can be very effective at blocking out noise, especially when combined with music. But they have to fit snugly and make a seal with your ear. The ones with silicone tips or those squishy foam tips are most effective.

Wearing earbuds all the time was causing me ear problems, though, so I switched to over-ear noise-canceling headphones. Because I wear glasses, I couldn't get the ones that basically form a seal over your ear.

The noise-cancellation, especially when combined with instrumental music or white noise, is very effective for stuff like construction and traffic and engine and air conditioner noise. But it makes human voices more instead of less distinct, so in the office I usually disable the noise cancellation and just play music.

"Nuclear" is not an economic disaster. "Nuclear politics" is, and has been since the technology first appeared.

We have the technological capability to build perfectly safe, high-performance reactors that spit out low-risk waste products (or no waste products) for far less than the cost of any current/planned project.

What we don't have is politicians with the balls to push through the political minefield that come with it.
There's few things in the world I hate more than Google's design. Maybe GoDaddy's control panels. Possibly Ubuntu's installer.

It's absurdly wasteful in terms of space on desktop applications. So many uselessly gigantic buttons with no effort to describe what they do other than an icon.

As well as for the other obvious reasons mentioned, it's highly desirable to maintain a mix of energy supply. For both security reasons, technological know-how reasons, and who-knows reasons.

Security: distribution of energy sources, multiple options, no single majority dependency.

Who knows: how long will the natural gas supply last? We can speculate, that's all.

Know how: having a technological mastery of all the best sources of energy, is critical. What's the limit of nuclear power in terms of what we can accomplish with it and how safe we can make it? We don't yet know. That's very valuable technology ground that shouldn't be given up.

Indeed, I neglected to mention the other main motivator for undertaking research: to be published in journals. Thanks for pointing it out.

Seriously though, can you not see how the medical research system (and most importantly, the kinds of things that will be included in studies) is influenced by the fact that any study must seek to deliver on a commercial incentive, a political one, or at the very least, be likely to published in a reputable journal [1]?

[1] Incidentally, this is also, indirectly, a commercial incentive, given that journal publications are used as a key metric for ranking research universities internationally, which has a major bearing on funding.

There are so many examples, from Canadian Tire Money https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Tire_money to Microsoft Points https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Points showing you can create private currencies granting the bearer certain privileges without a blockchain.

> Proof-of-work is simply not sustainable (energy-wise), IMO, for the foundation of a global system.

Visa, MasterCard, AmEX, &c along with each individual bank, not to mention the intermediaries and gateways all of them use also consume a tremendous amount of power. It's not as if our current system uses a negligible amount of power, not to mention the number of steps and entities a transaction needs in order to be finalized.
Citation? Or are you a nuclear or mechanical engineer?

I like to have a little humility that maybe folks splitting atoms and designing incredibly complex and redundant machines to control borderline critical reactions for massive power production aren't all lazy / idiots / shortsighted / unimaginative.

And under that assumption, maybe they're doing the best they can under the current regulatory scheme and economic organization and we should cut them some slack and give them respect for the effort they put into what they do.
Frameshift Genomics | Backend Engineers, Frontend Web Developers | Boston, MA

Frameshift Genomics (http://frameshift.io) is hiring backend engineers and web developers to work on the iobio project (http://iobio.io), building a real­-time genomics analysis platform.
Web developers will be creating web applications with functionality ranging from visualizing terabytes of biological data to fine grained interrogation of disease­ causing mutations that open the world of complex genomic analysis to medical professionals and scientists with limited or no experience in computational analysis. These applications are built on our technology stack, consisting of a node web service backend, which streams analysis results via websockets to the web applications, where results are visualized using D3. The successful applicant will be involved in further developing the iobio framework (client libraries and server), designing and building new web apps, and creating new visualizations.
For backend engineers we are looking to create systems that will analyze huge amounts of genomic data, support the visualization and collaboration needs of our web apps, and provide a robust API for data visualization. We are built on AWS and are looking to leverage the cloud wherever possible, but will most likely require traditional server setups for clients with sensitive patient data. The successful applicant will be involved in both designing and building these systems. Remuneration will include both a competitive salary and stock in Frameshift Genomics. Contact us at cmiller@frameshift.io
"I initially thought across borders/regulatory domains, blockchain will shine."

Massive institutions with billions of dollars at stake would rather have a predictable and stable regulatory regime to conduct transactions in the shadow of then to rely on a technical solution that supposedly obviates the need for one. Things come up -- bugs, acts of god, internal fraud, hacking, flash crashes, and so forth and so on. They want to be able to go to arbitrator and ask for a sensible and reasonable result and not be reliant on a totally inflexible mechanical rule set. Not the least of which because they can afford the very best lawyers to try to convince those arbitrators that what they want is sensible and reasonable.
>"*rote memorization"

Mea culpa, yes I meant write "rote." Cheers.
>The Bitcoin Protocol is a set of rules enforced by the Bitcoin Network (a distributed network of computers) made by — whom exactly?

Bitcoin and Blockchains are an opt-in rule system. You literally subscribe to the rule set (called consensus) that you wish to participate in. No one coerces you into participating in a rule system you do not want to participate it.

Your capitalist||socialist country is invaded by socialist||capitalists and they change the rules of your country's bank? Your blockchain doesn't care, it is enforced at the user level, at the edge.
I'm guessing you started in voice mode and then went to text so your mic is overwriting your text. If you stop the mic or use the text button, it shouldn't do that.
IMO, the core problem is if you want a global transaction system to become popular it needs to process and store ~TB / day of new transactions. Which means you quickly get into EB territory for the full database which is not something distributed systems can really handle without scaling issues.

Now if you want a system used by 0.01% of the global population then that's a very different problem, but far less useful.

For more info, please contact jason.wong@carwow.co.uk
Startcom was crap long before then. Rather infamously, they made people cough up $25 per cert to revoke heartbleed-compromised ones (when a simple freaking re-key fixes the problem and was supported by most reputable CAs)
Sounds like you have more of an issue with your upbringing than the existence of laundromats.

For most people, going to a laundromat is a necessity, not a choice to make their children build character. One "chooses" to go to a laundromat as much as one has chosen there place to live; which, in San Francisco and New York, can be limiting.
A four year degree at a quality program will open up a lot of jobs that the one year of self learning will not prepare you for.

That's not to say one year of self learning won't prepare you for a lot of programming jobs, or that the person with the four year degree won't be starting at one of those same jobs. But there are a lot of types of software I would only want someone with a real CS degree writing.

(Of course, 1 year of self learning, plus 3 to 4 years of real world coding plus further supplemental self study, could very well get you to the same level as a CS grad's knowledge, or beyond.)
Not sure about an extension, but you could always just remove all root certs from your trust store and then add them back one-by-one manually.

Back then lots of politicians were willing to steal from taxpayers and ratepayers because of some nebulous idea that we needed more nuclear weapons and nuclear power was somehow related to that. Now, that's less true.

A New Way for React State Management
the solution is, everyone should uninstall these apps. if everyone did that, i bet you they would fix the problem reallly fast.

This is why i uninstalled pokemon go -> it used up to much data and to much battery. Uninstall -> problem solved. unfortunetly, the vast majority of people don't care about app sizes, or how much data they use, etc.
You're entirely right, but "it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it" certainly applies to the entire "tech" industry, and the app factory in particular.

I expect this realization will only become widespread when open-source folks actually fix their software's deep-seated usability problems. The way to do that is not by hiring UX designers or appifying it; it's by thinking deeply about how humans interact with computers and blowing away the conventions that make computers and software unforgiving, hard to explore, and opaque to the uninitiated.

This is just incorrect. Making money on a distributed product is just as hard as on anything else if not harder and riskier, because everything takes more time.
> Now this whole section feels a lot like "I'm trying to code in Rust like in C and it doesn't work and it frustrates me".

A media codec is a very well understood, highly optimized thing with established idioms that are already well-matched to the capabilities of the hardware (and in many cases are taking advantage of hardware features explicitly designed for the codec being implemented!). Demanding that we start writing codecs differently isn't the same thing as telling a app UI developer they need to get used to traits instead of inheritance.

If rust can't handle the existing idioms for this problem area, that may need to be seen as a problem with rust, not the programmer.
Lessons from the fast lane: does this study prove car-pooling works?
If there's nothing cheaper solution to cryptocurrency than proof of work, it seems to me that we just have to ban cryptocurrency altogether at the legislature level.
Some stuff I learned:

Don't write/use abstractions you won't understand later. Often you start with 2-3 copies, try to merge them and end up using it at a place were it doesn't fit 100% anymore.

Keep nesting low. Often it's faster to scroll over one big okay-ish structured function than to find all the clean tiny things around the the project. Same goes with Objects/Classes/Components etc.

Stop using abbreviations and try to write code more readable and not as short as possible. IDEs help with autocompletion and code gets read more than written anyway.
