If you were only using ~2GB a month, why were you so persistent in hanging on to your grandfathered plan? Most of the people I knew who kept their grandfathered plan were pushing 50 - 100GB of data a month (without tethering as tethering was the #1 reason Verizon could kick you off the plan).

Meat eaters will eat fake meat if economics incentive them too. You don't need to completely switch over to impact the world. Growing meat is a substantial waste of energy and nutrients. Unless you think we will never struggle to produce enough food, it's hard to reconcile how you can think we won't run into issues with meat.

i.e. the blackboard indoctrinated. It's much harder to unlearn something than to learn something, you have to show them what they think is "natural" isn't, it's just what they were taught and it's based on laziness not intelligence and implicit hidden rules are bad and lead to ambiguity. Operator precedence is simply stupid. In Lisp and Smalltalk, operators are just ordinary functions and the lack of precedence makes everything simpler across the board.

You find Java well engineered or you find the JVM well engineered? Java may go down in history for the most destructively designed programming language ever created. The entire standard library and methodology is to create every little piece of data on the heap, then use extremely deep inheritance as a substitute for the ability to write generic software pieces.

Not only is the "Object Oriented" way of doing things arguably a blight on software design, both allocation and chasing of virtual pointers are devastating to modern performance. Then to combat this, the JVM is an engineering marvel that has matured over 20 years.
> Sure, women who take time off to raise kids will take a hit to income.

There's a lot more to it than just that. If there was only a one-time hit to income, everything you said afterwards would hold true, but that's not the only issue, and you're quite naive for thinking so.

Also it shows poor faith in the community to hide behind a throwaway. I wouldn't down vote you for stating the opinion you just stated, but I will take the argument you just made less seriously because your making it in a cowardly fashion.

I take downvoting someone very seriously and will only do so if I think they are harming the community with their speech.

Is it possible to fork bitcoin in such a way that BTC holders can't get the new coins? If not, then it's not just a handout. The fact that anyone can fork it is an unfortunate property for your money to have that doesn't change what's happening here.

It's however easy to read and that feels good if not right, since the common solutions to this imagined problem require substantial mental overhead as seen on https://hackernoon.com/rethinking-javascript-eliminate-the-s.... To promote "single functions" we could:

handleEvent(e) {
this[e.type](e, e.target);
}
mousemove(e, elm) {
elm.style.left = e.clientX + 'px';
}

... but then the discussion would almost certainly revolve around this questionable decision instead of the original topic.
Another basic feature they refuse to implement is sorting search results (e.g. newest first).

I'm not. But it's interesting how I just got swarmed by 3 commenters.

The context makes it even worse.

"None of us can unlearn what Tesla has taught us. There is no way back now. Tesla has already won.'"

I can't believe you think that the "context" makes it any less cultish. The comment is almost messianic.
I'm not sure why everyone is acting like paper ballots are fool-proof. Open source could be just as fool-proof if not even more so. With hundreds of thousands of people checking the software, and all updates there's not a lot of room to sneak malicious code in. With paper, you don't have many people overseeing the entire process, and there's a lot of room for interference.
I lived in a van for a year in the bay area. My social life changed for the better. Being more mobile made it easier to visit friends and family in the area.

Dating was fine, it was polarizing in a way. Some girls were immediately turned off - and that was good to know. They are less tolerant of alternative lifestyles and ideas, and so not someone I would want to be friends with anyway. Some girls were totally into it.

There was a lot of mental overhead with living in a van. Where to park, how to work in a shower each day, making sure it's safe and the neighborhood won't be bothered with me staying in the area, etc. It will be different for a boat, since it's legal and you have more facilities available.

My productivity and focus went up at work after I moved back into an apartment. Having a shower and unlimited water & electricity felt incredible. It certainly gave me a new appreciation for modern conveniences.

One side effect of van life that may apply to boat living - you become more in tune with the weather, but less bothered by changes. I'd wake up with the temperature in the mid 40s, and it would be fine. Yes I'd put on a jacket, but I'd go about my morning routine without turning on the heater and be ok with it. I would compare it with being on a ketogenic diet - you still experience hunger, but your response to it is manageable / in your control.

I think experimenting with living off the grid will give you a new appreciation of life and a healthy perspective of what's important to you. For me, once I got the bug to try it, it didn't go away until I made it happen. So if you have a good opportunity to try it out, I'd suggest going for it.
Something I think that programmers don't always appreciate is that linting isn't an either/or proposition necessarily. A linter is exactly like the spelling/grammar checker in your word processor. It's there to advise you. It's not always right, and it's often a distraction to what your actual goal is (telling a story, etc).

Common advice among writers is: for the first draft, turn off spelling/grammar checks. Ignore the distraction to focus on the important bits (the plot arc). When it is time to polish, then turn them back on.

I've seen too many teams that don't trust linters and have them entirely off, because they find it too much of a distraction.

I've seen too many teams that get hobbled in the minutiae of linters and mandate that a linter be on 100% of the time, that every last rule of the linter be 100% followed, that linter advisement/warnings should be taken as gospel and break the build.

Absolutely don't use a linter if you don't think it is helping you and you don't like the advice it gives. On the flipside, don't treat a linter as gospel, not just because there are many ways to style something and have it be readable/useful, but also because it distracts sometimes from the actual importance of the work (building working coed), and sometimes the creativity (creative styling used sparingly can enhance the code's readability; just as creative spellings or intentional grammar breaks can be useful in a work of fiction). It's easy to forget that programming is a creative act and that people aren't machines and don't need to follow every rule to a T every time.

I treat linters as a weirdly pedantic code review friend. I tell it to go away if it is bugging me and I'm trying to focus. I take it's advice with a grain of salt, and I use my own human judgment sometimes.

I understand why teams make lint errors build problems, and invite linter checks directly into their PR reviews, but that's not something I care to do in my own projects. Being a slave to a linter dehumanizes the experience of a programmer, and sometimes as programmers we deride the creative chaotic mess that a linter prevents, but that chaotic mess is sometimes art and poetry, too.
Here's an article about hacking security cameras from 2012. It was the first hit on my google search.

https://www.wired.com/2012/05/cctv-hack/

This was public then and you can expect the black hats knew this years before. So again, what is new about this other than CIA? Yes, the CIA does these things; they wear black hats and that's also something we've known for quite some time.

Perhaps a more enlightening article would have been a wiki dump of manufacturers and distributors of these 'security' cameras not giving a shit about this problem.

But hey, Snowden.

Uh, no. I immigrated to Denmark. I went with a year's worth of savings, a place to live lined up when I arrived, a job and Danish lessons organized, and a fallback plan to return home if it doesn't work out. When you have time to plan, you start lightyears ahead of those who have to leave their homes on the run and go wherever fate takes them.
The problem isn't so much with JavaScript as it is with the JavaScript mentality - that is not to say JavaScript doesn't have a ton of problems.

No, the real problem is the mentality of cranking out new frameworks instead of actually building something useful on top of existing ones. Every year, the JS framework of choice changes to something new and you have no choice but to move on because the one you were using until recently has suddenly been dropped as the developers have moved on to the backwards incompatible next version.

And then there is the mentality of writing libraries for the most trivial of tasks - left padding, seriously?

> They would be wise to ask for less because that is what the market will bear, due to widespread discrimination.

I would agree with you if it wasn't for how HIRED works. This is information asymmetry. There are only a few kinds of roles available on HIRED by this time and candidates get to post their ask and employers get to post their bids.

The black and women candidates that aren't bidding below market are also getting hired through that system.

There is a mentality associated with it. The "I feel lucky an employer considers me at all" mentality that could come with generations of oppression. The "$100,000 is great don't push it" mentality that would broadcast exactly what class of society you are in, completely ignoring what the market actually will bear. The employer offers you $110,000 and woah they must have REALLY liked you in the interview.

Lets dive deeper, as I'm extrapolating here as well. I'm glad HIRED released that report, several other recruitment firms have insights that aren't included in the collective conscious.
A lot of creators I appreciate use Patreon, so I signed up to donate to them. They started sending me spam emails. It was like I was paying extra (giving Patreon a cut) for the privilege of getting annoying emails. Now I just donate directly to the creators, and I have a checklist that I go through every month.

I think something like Patreon is a great idea, but having a centralized company handle it and take a cut is not the way to go about it.

they have what appears to be a great product -- I am a lowly network security engineer and think I would enjoy working for them and interacting with their teams.

the reality is the tesla team has continually delivered (often later than expected) in spite of incredible odds including significant short interest in the company and the probably increase in short interest after articles like this.

I am rooting for them, despite the fact I probably will not buy one for a few years I like what they are doing and believe they are a net positive.

I wonder how much of this is simply the Gigafactory coming online at full production + others trying to keep their factories running.

If you look at Tesla's plan to be making 10,000 model 3's a week, with a nominal 90 kWh battery in each that is 900 MWh a week of capacity or 46 GWh capacity a year. But it is all tied up in cars of course[1].

The power companies have been screwing around with rate plans to keep grid-tied solar from being as economic as it could be and so I do see a lot of people such as myself moving to a whole house storage system at some point.

[1] I fully expect a TV show to have a scene where they need more power and the 'genius' hero looks out the window and sees a row of electric cars charging and "hacks the system to feed the car's energy into the power grid for the extra energy needed to save the day" along with the gratuitous cars exploding as they are being drained too quickly but reaching the minimum level of power at just the right time to save the world.
Nope, that would not work. Paper and pen are the best secure methods. Everything digital is insecure.

> And then 2-3 years later there was one laptop manufacturer: Apple

Your view of Apple laptops seems to represent only a small segment of the market. While Apple was on the rise, they were still only 3rd behind Dell and HP in market share by 2007 [0] and are roughly 5th over the last few years [1]. They presumably look better on a revenue rather than units basis, but they were never the sort of singular force you described them as. They might have held that position among a certain segment of laptop buyers, but not the general market.

Have you driven a Tesla? If not, then you should. Might change your view.
HFT doesn't front run trades, that's a misconception and really just a way to slander HFT as evil. Calling their misconceptions legitimate is an abuse of language. Front-running is a crime, it has an actual meaning and you are misusing the term. Front-running is when a broker buys or sells using advanced knowledge of trades they're making on behalf of their clients, i.e. it is risk free and is theft. HFT does not front run their clients, they attempt to trade faster than their competition at risk, these are vastly different things and to call HFT front-running is dishonest slander.

There are no legitimate complaints against HFT trading that aren't simply misconceptions about what they do or how markets work.
A UUID could let one verify that one's own vote was correctly recorded, but it does nothing to prevent stuffing the ballot box, which seems to be the more normal way of swinging an election.
This is an interesting point.

I'm curious if one of the 'myths' of a data driven company is that you can instantly begin making decisions fed by 'real-time data' and learn after-the-fact from feedback loops. But for many legacy businesses the data pipeline for their important KPIs still moves slowly.

And then the data that does come in quickly becomes over-valued because everyone was sold the idea of instant gratification. So there is pressure to react to things quickly like meaningless web traffic metrics or local sales data - which may fluctuate heavily on a daily basis - instead of waiting for relevant patterns to emerge over longer periods.

Statistical significance and error rates are then overlooked in the name of a cargo cult data culture.

This is why business books can be dangerous or even destructive, as business advice from one person's experience is sold as generic design patterns that apply to every business - which isn't the case. This is why understanding the business inside-and-out is the most important attribute, then having MBA-esque skills/toolset is useful second. So you take the reality of the business into full consideration and apply tools to it, rather than seek out tools and pigeonhole your business into them.
One way to do it would be to present the user with the number but not give them a physical / digital certificate of the UUID. If they are all public, the conspirator trying to buy votes cannot trust that their client isn't just looking up UUIDs and giving them a different one.

You can write your identifier down, but you could also go online and look up any other identifier you want and use that one instead. The public ledger results could be timestamped so you can correlate your vote with the on chain results, but given a large enough election thousands of votes should be coming in every <unit of time the ledger uses> and you could pick any one that voted the way your sponsor wanted to claim to be your own.

It is only a problem if results don't come in in real time I think. Trying to photograph the display would be just as much of a problem as taking a picture of your ballot today. The broad point is to convey the UUID in the only untrustable memory store, the human brain.
I actually had a coworker in the US that bought a boat and lives on it. I get the feeling that his social life is mostly unchanged. Most of us thought it was foolhardy and a little weird, but that was fine. We saw him go through quite a learning curve, one being that he can't live in it during the winter so he has to stay in a hotel. It's also quite expensive to buy and maintain and unlike houses I don't think that the value of boats increase. He's lost some luxuries like TV and wifi. My general feeling is that he probably wouldn't do it again if he could do it over, but he's made it work.

ACLU Brief on Behalf of John Oliver
Email attachments are the lowest common denominator despite the 25MB cap, occasional diversion into a spam folder, no sender authentication, no encryption, poor suitability of email clients and servers for bulk file transfers, etc. Whatever can hope to replace it must be as popular (network effect), as easy to use, and free. Sharing very large files (hundreds of MB to multi-GB) is too costly for a free service. People will not setup or maintain a server, an always on PC is less reliable and has a slower uplink than data centers, and smartphones have limited data quotas, storage and batteries. Slow IPv6 deployment, middleboxes (firewalls, home CPEs) makes efficient p2p connections difficult.

If it's free there's little incentive for a company to spend the money developing the easy UI and marketing it to critical mass. Even simple to use Dropbox has not made a significant dent. BitTorrent never became mainstream at the level of email but it did incentivize people to seed with the prospect of pirated content. The MPAA/RIAA have deputized any websites that accepts user content as copyright police and demonize non-enterprise file hosting services.

In a way the success of Facebook is a reflection of the spammy, phishing/malware filled, and slow nature of email and difficulty making your own website; if email continued to improve there wouldn't be demand for a modern solution. File syncing and sharing should be integrated into the operating system. However Microsoft's OneDrive and Apple's iCloud are inferior to Dropbox so a third party solution is still relevant.
This is how I discovered contents throughout history:

* 2000's: Slashdot, Digg, RSS feeds from blogs / Google Reader

That's great! Part of the reason I'd say it'll take a bit longer though is if you find a vessel that you're interested in, a thorough survey requires hauling it out of the water to inspect the hull, so scheduling with a yard, the owner, and the surveyor usually takes a bit. In my area the haul out is about $500-800, and the survey was $600 just to see if the boat was worth buying.
