I love Linus Torvalds quote on trust (paraphrase, not exact citation):

"People can trust me because they don't have to."

He was talking in the context of Linux kernel, but I think this applies universally. If you are in a relationship where the other side has more power, you cannot trust them. However, if you have equal (or greater) power, and you can walk away, you can trust them.

And again, people intuitively know this, I think, so if you want somebody to trust you, then you should give them enough power over yourself, expose yourself a bit.

Implementing a TCP/IP stack used to be a rite of passage. I think the fact that everything is now layered on top of HTTP is what causes the problems observed in this thread, in a sense HTTP replaced TCP even though it sits at a higher level layer people are shoehorning everything into it because it tends to be passed on transparently if a proxy or some other gateway doesn't know what to do with the payload.

I find that when discussing politics with an American, I want to say "you know what I fucking mean" more than when discussing with a European. Americans tend to attack the surface meaning of what you say rather than the actual meaning.

A clear example of this is if you take fringe idiot politicians who say populist stuff and have zero workable policies. In the UK, they're a fringe political group like UKIP. In the US, one was just voted president. Here was a guy with a famous history of scamming (indeed, he was the poster child for it), making obvious and contradictory promises he couldn't keep even if he wanted to, and with no detail as to how. His whole platform was telling people the superficial stuff they wanted to hear. How did he do? Almost half of the voters individually voted for him, in a strong voter turnout. The only thing missing from his obvious scam was twirling a waxed moustache, and still nearly half of American voters went out voluntarily and voted for him.

> Marth Stout claims 4% of the population falls into this category. In short, if you start from a place of positive intent, you are going to get screwed over by at least one out of 1 out of every 25 people you encounter because they literally have no moral compass.

Just a pet peeve of mine: If p% of the population has a certain trait it means that of 100 people, p will have the certain trait on average -- and not at least p of 100 will have the trait.
Can you expand on that? It's an interesting parallel that you draw. I'm going out on a limb and implying you mean that the small price per month is going to eventually implode and engineers aren't going to be making as much money in the future similar to how a musician gets a very small portion of the cost of a music stream?
I have a friend who took a 1099 job over a W2 job because "they offered more money". I tried to explain that because he is now paying a higher payroll tax he's earning less per hour than the other job.

He doesn't get it though. "The other company was offering X. This one is offering 5% more."

He also doesn't have PTO, 401k, or medical insurance.
Heck, I was just impressed by the clever method of removing watermarks. (I mean, if you think about machine learning more than I do, it probably doesn't seem very clever. But I thought it was.)

One of the things that made me mad was that they only brought the aquos crystal over, which is a gimmick phone. It's a pretty good mid-range phone, but I saw reviews slam it on specs, implying that Sharp couldn't compete. Sharp had much more powerful phones available at the time, but not in the US.

The problem with the US market is that reviewers look for any superficial reason to slam you.

The slippery slope argument usually advanced involves what happens when technology improves and allows bigger single-generation deltas for the existing economic elite.

But, in any case, many people find the idea that the less-genetically-fortunate should suffer to avoid “holding back” genetic superiors to be morally repugnant even when dealing with natural variations, much less when dealing with advantages available only to offspring of pre-existing economic elites.
I worked at a large internet company where no one, all the way up to the CEO, had an office. But directors and up spent 90+% of their time in meetings anyway so it was a transparent, empty gesture. And then they each had their own reserved conference room anyway.

It pretty much ended in the 1980's but its worth mentioning that Byte never was 'for the masses', it was for the relatively geeky subset of the tech community (my absolute favorite mag from about '80-86 or so). Sure, there were some holdouts into the 90's but the enthusiast scene had faded significantly by the late 80's as computing went mainstream. And then died completely in the early-to-mid 90's as Windows took off. Unfortunately it's a reflection of the computing audience: In the 70's it was largely hardware hackers, in the 80's it was largely software hackers, in the 90's it was largely (business) software users, since the 00's it has been mostly consumers. (I'm exaggerating a bit as there have always been all types in every era, but this is what I remember the main focus as being)

In the 70's and 80's these types of magazines were economically viable as people were willing to pay (gasp) for content like this and even so I don't think it was ever a spectacularly good business as the audience wasn't terribly large. Today, it would be at best extremely difficult to (profitably) run a web site targeting the same audience. Sure, the audience is at least 1-2 orders of magnitude larger but they are also far less willing to spend money and their attention is diluted by all the noise in the space. You could point to things like github but notice that the bulk of the 'content' on those sites are produced by the users of the sites who are not even the customers of those sites. This is why we can't have nice things...

"Two top Democratic strategists have exited the presidential campaign after explosive undercover videos showed them discussing voter fraud and their roles in planting paid agitators at campaign events for Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Robert Creamer, founder of Democracy Advocates and the husband of Rep. Janice D. Schakowsky, Illinois Democrat, stepped down from the campaign Tuesday, a day after Scott Foval was fired from his post as national field director of Americans United for Change."

So, at least they lost their jobs.

It's both. Having to pay increased premiums if you put someone in danger means your more likely to buy safer tools in the first place.
This is why well adjusted rational adults are responsible for raising children. You teach a child what is right and what is wrong and then hope beyond all else that when they set out on their own you've given them a strong moral compass. You don't neglect the responsibility and blame the government for not censoring all the bad things on the internet from them when they screw up later in adulthood. Are you really arguing society should be 100% childproof? We can't put anything on the internet that someone might find objectionable to a child.

How about another - do you remember Computer Shopper?

That was the go-to magazine if you were building your own machine. It's heyday was sometime in the early 1990s, when PCs were starting to branch out and become consumer-oriented items. But in the 386-486 era - that was an insane magazine to peruse (big too!).

Really, one could say it marked the end of a particular era - that of hobbyist machines. While it was a technically oriented magazine, it did cater to those who wanted to build their own systems (maybe not from the component level). Once the PC became something you could easily pick up just about anywhere, it started to get thinner and thinner, then finally disappeared.

That was also the end of the "mom-n-pop" style PC computer parts stores. There are a scant few that linger on today (mostly they sell used machines refurbed or rebuilt - though some have gotten into building and selling retro machines, sometimes for steep prices).
> How to “scientifically” determine race was a huge problem for racist regimes like Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa and the Jim Crow United States.

Not really; sure, having some kind of superficially objective criteria to wave was important, but having it be scientifically valid (or even particularly rigorously applied) wasn't all that important.
"responsible disclosure" as a term is a meme started by vendors (and later rebuked by the same vendors) that is highly subjective. It's best that people don't focus on this.

I think it's important to acknowledge a very different set of priorities for someone in their early 60s, who is:

1) Close to retirement age

2) Likely still saving as much as possible so she can retire

3) May have other expenses not detailed in the article, stemming from family needs, health concerns, etc.

Also note that a property management company is evaluating someone from the "risk of non-payment" perspective - not a financial advisor's.

Or is it because it has the best interface for what you need to do, and it's never been bettered (in your view)?
This may sound contrarian, but I'm happy that airlines are shrinking seats, and adding a few rows of "Economy Plus" for people that need/want their space back. Flight prices have been falling for the last decade, in part due to these smaller seats, and I've been able to travel much more than I otherwise would have as a result. I'd love to have a bit more space, but I'll take my $600 round-trip tickets from SF to Europe over a marginal increase in comfort any day.
I was born in Alabama. Growing up, I was repeatedly told that I was 1/256 Cherokee; this was supposedly the source of my mother's high cheekbones. When I got my 23andMe results, they showed 0% Native American, and .4% African.

Well, .4% is of course just about 1/256. I believe the 23andMe result. I believe that the Cherokee thing was just a cover story concocted at some point to hide the fact that one of my family's ancestors was an African slave. And I think the outcome demonstrates that the 23andMe analysis is, in fact, pretty accurate.

So when I read that some guy came out a whopping 14% African and wants to put it down to statistical error, I just laugh.

This is interesting. If this is correct, it amounts to a power grab, transferring decision power from Core maintainers to the miners consensus.

However, algorithmically speaking, miners consensus _is_ Bitcoin. The only authority Core developers have is rooted in tradition. So far, it was enough to get miners to agree with their point of view... but it will be challenged eventually.

One may give up right to be treated in a civil manner by you. That part's fine. You don't need to be civil towards people who are repugnant.

But it still does not give you justification for violence or threats. No, you are not "driven" to violence. If you are violent, violence is your decision for which you are responsible.

(We are not talking about self defense situation, we're talking about going to someone else's non-violent demonstration to stop it by force).
I don't know what "Net Neutrality" is. I have looked and tried to find out. My best guess is that Net Neutrailty is a badly named concept that emcompasses lots of different things to different people. Maybe it means control of The Internet, or equal speeds for all sites? Besides squishy feelings is there a concrete meaning?

From what I can gather the FCC changed some things which might allow groups to do things which may end up worse for end users, at least for a while. Before the FCC "repealed" it, was there a single bill/rule/law called Net Neutrality?

No sarcasm in this question, just pure ignorance- what EXACTLY is Net Neutrailty?

The right to be sued is all about this. People often think that the right to sue is more important than the right to be sued, but it's really the latter that enables commerce. Without it, nobody would do business with a stranger, because they have no way of knowing whether the stranger will uphold their promises, and the stranger has no incentive to. But by granting a neutral third-party the ability to enforce consequences upon you, firms can create trust, and with trust they can promote trade.

Actually, I wonder if a major part of the decline of trust in the U.S. today is because the price of litigation has spiraled outside of the means of most Americans. So if the cable company or Internet company or bank or debt collector screws you, there's little you can do about it, and so people assume that the system must be corrupt.

If every CS student learned category and type theory like they learn complexity theory; and FP compilers could optimize type classes and all the object creation, FP would definitely be more widely used. But, yes, there is definitely a cost to picking up FP today in almost any domain, but it's getting lower.
Well, except with coke or orange juice.
Uhh, no. What you do is go after the Anarchists/hard core leftists/communists, who have beliefs that are equivalent to nazi beliefs.

IE, the revolutionary leftists who have publicly stated things like "The liberals get the bullet too".

Go look up that liberal phrase. It is actually quite common, among leftists.

Radical leftist rhetoric is very violent these days, and is an interesting read. It is all about overthrowing the capitalist, imperialist "system", getting rid of civil rights, the "dictatorship of the proletariat", and killing those that are the "enemies" of leftists (which can range anywhere from literal Nazis, to "Trump Supporters",to Capitalists, to "liberals" who just support civil rights).

Finding leftists who publicly call for mass murder is really easy. I mean, just look at all the people who publicly supported that guy who shot up a bunch of republican congressmen.
I agree patent laws are abused/overused (cough cough Qualcomm) but the solution is not to get rid of them altogether, but to reform them to make them more sensible.

In any case, I think right now Ericsson definitely needs to assume that Chinese will use their technology at some point and plan for that contingency.

That's also interesting regarding a potential for accelerated ageing.

I'm also wondering how oxygen uptake is effected by differing levels of spirit in the cask, I'm assuming that might effect the taste somewhat.

Edit: The thesis 'Aging of whiskey spirits in barrels of non-traditional volume' has lots of interesting information.

"As evaporation occurs and the fill level decreases, oak not in contact with liquid spirit dries, contracts, and becomes
more porous to the entry of outside air (28). Oxygen present in the barrel fuels oxidation reactions that are essential in the production of mature spirits"

Overall it's great to have a phone with foundational philosophy of keeping it clean, open and play with others nicely.

The biggest missing story is apps. Can I use Google Maps, Drive, Gmail, Now etc? Out of the box? Will Google Play Store be fully supported? Without all these apps, phone is just beautiful thin brick. Also, burning question is how this would stand up against Pixel.vNext which seems to have many (but not all) of same philosophies.
