An automated manufacturing facility for homes. Raw inputs go in, affordable housing comes out (powered by solar) that can be transported by roads. Would pair this with partnering with companies that are fully supportive of remote work, as well as coop land trusts, thereby bootstrapping affordable communities with low costs of living, requiring a minimal work week to afford to live there.

I'd basically be leveraging my "sabbatical" to increase the free time of others at scale, which would hopefully spur higher quality of life and possibly faster innovation.

i've been building web-based software since 1998, when I had to manually parse http requests on stdin (and read headers from env variables) in a C application running as a cgi-bin plugin, remembering to end the stream with two \n characters. i (a) know what i am doing and (b) am super-glad i don't have to parse a lot of jank to get to the interesting parts of the code.

every approach has weaknesses. I'm pretty sure there's tradeoffs everywhere: ergonomics vs speed, security vs inclusivity, etc. I'm also pretty sure it's uncool to make implications about my mental health in public.

Signed packages tell you one and only one thing: that the package was signed by a particular key.

They don't tell you that the package was signed by someone you think should be authorized to produce that package.

Linux distros can get away with signing everything because there's typically a very small set of people the distro's organizational structure trusts to make packages, and thus a very small set of keys and real-world identities to verify.

Open-to-the-public package systems cannot hope to verify the identity of every person who creates a package, and thus cannot provide you with the web-of-trust model you want (since what you seem to want is not "is this signed by a PGP key" but rather "is this signed by a PGP key I personally think should be authorized to make packages").

To be honest, it doesn't make that much of a difference when we compare the cost of calories from vegetable matter to the cost of calories from meat (and, when we're talking about a few ounces of organic matter for a burger, that is basically what we're talking about).

Sure, you have to worry about soil erosion, but by the same token you have to consider the fact that a single cow has a large grazing area. Fertilizers, pesticides etc. are optional but not strictly required, and again don't really change the bottom line.

Why is this considered newsworthy? How many practical type systems do you know that are not Turing-complete, yet powerful enough as development aids? (Hindley-Milner doesn't count. HM might have decidable type checking, but actual programming languages don't just use HM. In particular, OCaml and GHC Haskell do not have decidable type checking.) Heck, maybe computer scientists ought to do more research into non-Turing-complete development tools.

Hey, I like vegan food a lot, but it's not like "extremely processed imitation meat" foods haven't been part of vegan culture for a long time. Go to a tofu restaurant in Japan and take a look at what they do to yuba. As for the frozen part, vegans have traditionally had to cook virtually everything they ate in the first world. There has not historically been a lot of convenience food. The last 20 years or so, it's grown a lot, but it is still dwarfed by the more traditional convenience food. Especially in big cities in the west, if I want a prepared vegan take-away, then it is usually a million times better to get one from one of the tiny restaurants that are the advantage of having nice multi-cultural societies.

But there is one last reason for the "I can't believe it's not a dead animal!"-burger/dog: Culturually, people invite you to barbeques. If you show up with your Shoujin ryouri bentou, people look down on you and tell you that you're stuck up. If you show up with an eggplant and a hot dog bun, they won't call you stuck up, but they will reasonably say, "You're really going to grill an eggplant and stick it in a hotdog bun? That's why vegan food is so sad". (BTW, that actually sounds good to me :-) ).

Yes, vegans want to go to barbeques and fit in and not have to explain why they decided not to eat meat. Sometimes they just want a normal western cultural experience without having to compromise on their principles. Sometimes they grew up with this kind of food and they are feeling nostalgic. There are huge numbers of reasons why people do these kinds of things and why it is a big deal to them.

And yes, they should learn about cuisines that are culturally vegetarian for many, many reasons as well. Most do even if they also eat processed vegetable protein in a package.

Can't say it has ever bothered me, but the future of Vim extensions on Firefox once XUL in extensions is phased out for good is dire. Right now, there is a port of Vimium (which I suspect gets my FF 55 to hang). I don't think any of the other extensions are likely to make it.
I've done a lot with curl and jq for REST calls with bash. But if I'm doing a lot of API calls I usually go straight to Python or Node- usually Node because I feel like I'm faster with it for that type of stuff.

Reddit plans to become Facebook
A 200TB proof is already incomprehensible to humans.

The average reading speed is 200wpm. The average human lifespan is 79 years, or about 41.5 million minutes. If you did nothing but read at 200wpm for your entire life, you might read 8.30 billion words. A word is 5.1 letters, on average, and in ASCII, a letter is one byte. Multiply that all together to get an estimated human reading speed of 42.4 GB/lifetime.

It would take 4728 entire human lifetimes to read this proof once.

This is vastly underestimating the actual number, due to silly things like "eating", "sleeping", "learning to read", etc.
The range of size_t only comes into play if the array can potentially be huge. If the array is small, there may be other considerations. Suppose you have a displaced array with negative indices: p[-2], p[-1], p[0], p[1], ... size_t is good for nothing here.

The unsigned types are generally awful; they have a big discontinuity right at zero, so you have to be careful with arithmetic even if it involves small values.

If I'm working with int and I know that all quantities fit into two decimal digits, then there isn't possibly any problem. Not so with unsigned int or size_t or what have you.

If a, b, c are small integers in a signed type then I know I can rewrite a < b + c as a - c < b, following straight algebraic rules of derivation. Not so if these are unsigned; moving c from the right side to the left may break the inequality because a may be smaller than c.

"Communist" implies authoritarian, as in a one-party state.
Sure. A cabal of tough-as-nails Chinese leaders who lived through the cultural revolution and command the largest standing army on earth will change their politics because Jeff Bezos gives them the cold shoulder.

> Maybe there's a happy medium where trustworthiness of central authorities is appropriately distributed, but common operations are quicker and less wasteful.

I’m working on this. It’s an implementation of a protocol called Stroem, which uses payment channels to transfer bitcoins from consumers to so-called issuers, who issue payments in exchange which consumers then send to merchants. Then merchants collect these off-chain payments from issuers, and redeem them into bitcoins on the blockchain when they wish.

This system compromises with the security of the payment receivers only (the merchants). Everything is trustlessness for the payment sender/consumer, while merchants need to trust issuers. But, if desired, the merchant-issuer trust can be reduced to almost nothing by the merchant redeeming very often (at the cost of higher fees).

And, importantly, the open nature of the protocol will ensure competition between issuers, since anyone can join the network.

>Will "trusted flaggers" be allowed to make Dabiq inaccessable?

The answer is no. This post is about YouTube. Presumably a magazine won't be impacted. Also, new content is not being removed, but rather:

"If we find that these videos don’t violate our policies but contain controversial religious or supremacist content, they will be placed in a limited state. The videos will remain on YouTube behind an interstitial, won’t be recommended, won’t be monetized, and won’t have key features including comments, suggested videos, and likes."

Which is ironically not dissimilar from your suggestion that hateful and ignorant views be taught in context to school children.

You comment reminds me of those news stories where the headline is a question. When you read the article, the answer is always, "No."

Could you please enlighten me on how land gets fertilized on it's own without grazing herbivores to create a proper soil micro-biome?

Sure cows need grazing land, but they don't require all the external inputs an industrial soybean farm, for instance, needs. All they require is land, sunlight, electric fences, and some water if rainfall is inadequate or the soil is in bad shape due to prior mismanagement or desertification.

I'm not disputing the idea that Tim Cook has taken stances on certain issues including human rights. I'm disputing the idea that by complying with a Chinese law means he's "doing almost the same thing as what he's fighting against". That's rubbish.
Baidu has long had an uncluttered, Google-like homepage, e.g. in Jan 2010: https://web.archive.org/web/20100101155014/http://www.baidu....

It's true that before its departure Google China was losing market share to Baidu, reportedly at least in part due to government throttling which slowed Google's service to a crawl: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/6143553...

Still, Google China's share of the market was not negligible. The article above claimed it had only just dipped under 30%; StatCounter (accurately or not) claims Google China was still above 40% in early 2010: https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share/all/ch...

Either way, that's a significant fraction, more than Bing has ever had in the US. Not to mention the size of the Chinese market or future growth potential (consider what Google could have done with Android in China).

Google could have responded to the pressure by seeking to appease the Chinese government. Other companies have done so, many profitably. Google did not.

>...We are talking about materials that need to be stored thousands of years here, a couple of dozens billion Euros (or Dollars) are peanuts in that regard. The timescales are just insane with this stuff and make it very likely that we still gonna have to pay for keeping disposal intact many thousand years after we phased out of nuclear into something we can't even fathom right now.

Right now nuclear waste can and should be recycled which would reduce the amount of waste:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste

Soon it will be possible to use most of the waste as fuel:

"...Fast reactors can "burn" long lasting nuclear transuranic waste (TRU) waste components (actinides: reactor-grade plutonium and minor actinides), turning liabilities into assets. Another major waste component, fission products (FP), would stabilize at a lower level of radioactivity than the original natural uranium ore it was attained from in two to four centuries, rather than tens of thousands of years"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_fast_reactor

The worry people have about nuclear waste is greatly overblown to say the least. The amounts generated are manageable and in a relatively short amount of time we can use most of this "waste" to generate electricity. To put it into perspective, no one of the general public has ever been hurt by nuclear waste and you definitely can't say that about coal waste.

How to Compete with the Cloud
I don't know of anyone who actually audits the JS they run. I know people (like Richard Stallman) who don't run JS at all, and people (like my roommate) who use NoScript with exceptions for websites they trust—which is a trust by website, not by code; they'll trust any JS that origin produces in the future. I suppose there are people running GNU LibreJS and running any JS that claims to be freely licensed, but again without looking at the code to see if it's heavily obfuscated. And then there's the rest of us, the vast majority, who just run all the JS we se.

If we already had people who audit JS before running it, preserving auditability would be worth doing, but keeping the ability to do something that (I think) literally nobody has done in over 20 years of JavaScript isn't worth trading off actual technical improvements for.

Fortunately we have something very different and (IMO) more practical, that makes this very different from an "index.exe" model: we have isolation between websites enforced at the browser level. aim.exe can read my saved quicken.exe documents. hangouts.google.com cannot interact with my bankofamerica.com account; it can't even know that I have one.

I think I have a right to see source to all the code that runs on my device with full privilege. I also think I have a right to limit the powers of code to which I don't have source, including both limiting what sorts of things it has access to and how much CPU, memory, etc. it's allowed to consume. I don't really know that insisting on the right to see source to code that runs confined is actually going to measurably improve my computing freedom.

Namespace conflicts are pervasive. Perhaps countries might use UUIDs instead.
I dragged my heels on buying one for quite awhile. I didn't really "get" it, and didn't really see the use case. I liked wearing "normal" watches and didn't want a device that, if I liked it, would mean I could no longer wear a normal watch anymore. (or, worse, if I hated it, I wasted my money).

I used a friend's for a few minutes and was even LESS enamored with it. It felt freeing, "great, now I don't need to bother buying one!"

But then, something happened, and I stopped wearing watches regularly.

I had a business trip coming up, the Apple Watch 2 was still in limited supply, and I wanted a toy to play with. Went to the store, couldn't find one in the US. But I found the last one one at an Apple Store in Germany, bought it as an impulse buy, and haven't looked back. It's absolutely something you can live without. There is no killer app. But I just LIKE it, and it's useful every day. It replaced my Fitbits that keep dying. I use ApplePay on it which is amazing, I just wish it was supported more places. I use it for boarding passes. I use it for notifications. I use it to ack PagerDuty and Okta 2factor alerts for SSO and VPN.

I just think, because it's a new(ish) category, and it does many somewhat useful things but nothing you need, it doesn't drive people to lust after one. But once you have it, you really like it.
Or, more to the point, in US prisons? Arguably Chelsea Manning, but her offense (stealing secrets) was considerably different from mere speech, and she's out of prison now.

I'm fine with unions or no unions. What I'm not fine with is the government making laws giving one side unfair bargaining power. I think a lot of unions have gotten too greedy and "killed the goose that laid the golden egg". There are plenty of places to work in this country. If you don't like one, you can unionize Or move on. But trying to get a law passed to strong arm your position is just wrong if you ask me.

1. It won't be eroded if you practice good farming, e.g. Permaculture

3. How else do you expect nutrients arrive in soil? It's a process that happens naturally very easily and just needs to be managed
