> That's just redundant and IMO does more harm than good.

We can agree to disagree on that! I do agree about how squishy the boundaries can be and that it limiting speech is not to be done lightly. Speech vs acts is also fuzzy, since speech both is an act & can cause others to act. Besides the emotional/social harm racist speech causes, it fosters physical harm and financial harm. Even in an imperfect, flawed implementation, a restriction on such speech in public might provide more benefit than what it costs. Buuuuut there is speaking hatefully and then there is discussing ideas, and it would be good if courts could tell the difference.
I've worked as a software engineer in a lot of industries and I think advertising/marketing and finance are full of people like this. But in the end, it sucks to live like this always paranoid and watching your back.

When I see someone trying to make a power move, I stay as far away from them as possible. These people could only sustain that life with alcohol, smoking and just whatever else. I remember my boss at a marketing company would take shots early in the morning and our office was full of hard alcohol everywhere that you would think you were at a bar. Is the stress worth it in the end? You reap what you sow...trying to make a quick buck is never worth it.
Web Components would make me finally be happy again when doing web development, but sadly I don't get to code only for latest browser versions and polyfills many times hinder more than help.

This viewpoint confuses the legal meaning of the First Amendment, which indeed only applies to the government, with its rationale.

The rationale is the theory that having a diversity of viewpoints, including some that are dangerous or repugnant, is the best approach towards a robust civil society and intellectual growth. If you disagree with something you hear or read, you can ignore it, or you can criticize it, but banning speech causes two undesirable outcomes:

1) The speech will continue anyway, but not in the public eye, where it can be criticized

2) The popularity of an idea is different from the correctness of an idea. It has happened many times that an unpopular or even heretical idea has turned out to be right.

Almost certainly these people are no Galileo. But this approach to free speech is intended to protect the Galileos of the world. It should be kept in mind that talk of revolution in the U.S. during the late 1700s would have been considered extremely dangerous and repugnant by many as well.

OK, fair enough. There are definitely tokens that either could be in-app-purchases backed by a company's database, some that are accidental securities, and some that are outright scams.

Coming back to the original topic -- I don't think ZRX is any of those. Is it worth a quarter billion dollars? Technically and literally yes at the moment, but it's almost all speculative value. I think one thing we could agree on is it would be really nice to be able to short some of these things. (You can short a handful on some exchanges, but none of the ones I can see going to near zero in less than a year)
> Any money that a corporation earns is either paid out as dividends (at which point it's taxable as individual income) or reinvested into growing the company (at which point it turns into things like "salary", which is taxable as individual income).

Or, its invested in assets whose utility is enjoyed by some subset of employees/investors and whose acquisition and other costs are deductible business expenses, so its taxed zero times.
Likely they are patenting their use of ANS rather than ANS itself. You can patent anything if you get specific enough. For things like video formats it actually works because it keeps others from creating decoders/encoders.
The classic example is someone yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre.

The reason that "free speech" is limited is that limiting it does almost no harm, and allowing it can result in human death.

This actually follows well into the specific example of racist nazi propaganda. The argument is fairly similar; allowing that speech has the chance to, in a more roundabout way, result in human oppression and death.
Limiting it isn't great (especially since it often draws some amount of attention to it), but it does seem plausible that by stopping that speech from getting out there, there's less chance of such a movement forming.
Docker should help in general with making services like this more accessible. I can imagine someone like Fastmail using docker to allow a one click process to set up a Diaspora or Mastodon node. That should take the hassle out of it, and if you could just watch a 3 min video to explain the concept/metaphors, and set it up in 30 seconds, it expands the possible audience from system admins and software engineers, up to anyone technically inclined.

It's an example from dicta illustrating the logic of a case since overruled as stating an improperly narrow view of free speech.
Which frankly seems super gross to me.
In JavaScript it's only the primitive objects (Number, String, Boolean, null, undefined) that are "by value". Everything else is "by reference". And when you write {foo:1} you create a new object. So it's logical that array.includes({foo:1}) is false. You can however point {foo:1} to a variable, and then use that variable as a reference, eg. var foo = {foo: 1}; array.push(foo); array.includes(foo);

Let me address your points

1) It's possible Tesla could enter the ride-sharing market. And it's possible they could win. But I won't download a Tesla app until their service is as good a Ubers, and that's a huge barrier to overcome.

Uber's advantage is their massive lead in installed apps and available drivers. If they lose that, then they'll be at risk. Some autonomous company may pull it off, but the far more likely route is that Uber adds autonomous fast enough that none can catch them.

3) I'm not arguing to add headcount to ride-share, I'm arguing to add focus to it. Having a CEO 100% focused on ride-share instead of CEO 50% focused on ride-share and 50% focused on autonomous/uberEats/100 other side hustles will trickled down through exec staff, directors, etc.

4) Starting over in HR is your first start. You can't have a culture where people were allowed to hide problems or protect bad employees. It starts in HR.

5) An IPO is fine. It's all about financing the business over the long term, so the new CEO will pick the best possible financing path. And reducing burn rate might be enough alone to do it, since Uber should still have billions left in the bank.

Let's be fair, the $60B valuation was really dumb and won't be seen again for a long time if ever. You can't count on having investors as dumb as the Saudi's again.
I'm not saying it's illegal to kick them off. I'm suggesting it's bad tactics and will make them stronger. I would prefer we could all go back to ignoring them. I know that that isn't going to happen but I'm trying my bit to help.
I found all I used (eagle, kicad, target, protel) not intuitive to use and not very user friendly (which is said about almost every CAD package), but within even that group there are massive differences in capability.

Had he said psychological differences instead, would you then agree with him? There are differences, which is obvious. So I am curious what you think the root cause of those differences is, and why you're willing to throw out the whole premise, based solely on Damore's understanding of the root cause? Isn't that a bit like denying the sunrise, simply because someone says the sun moves in the sky because it revolves around the Earth?

Sounds like sneering to me, but maybe I just don't find it funny.

For dummies:
Using the same expression in different contexts, even in the same paragraph, is useful and acceptable.

'Haha' is a literary representation of laughter.
It's an expression of the effect of laughter. The article you posted separates effect from cause, splitting the possible jokes in half. This makes things awkward, unsurprisingly. It's foolish and probably misinformed sneering.

Things can even get more complicated! You would be amazed:
The more 'ha's, the more laughter. An easy example why this is not redundancy is in the difference between the half-hearted 'ha' and the more genuine 'haha' and the hyperloaded 'hahaha'.

Good luck out there!
If you set your miners to Bitcoin Cash instead of Bitcoin, the current US-equivalent amount of concurrency you will get will be higher.

But, that does not take into account a lot of other variables:

One is that as more miners switch to Bitcoin Cash, the difficulty will increase, making it less profitable.

Two, although minor, is that some minors may politically disagree with Bitcoin Cash due to its radically large block size, and be dis-incentivized to mine it for that reason.

Third, most importantly, is that you cannot sell Bitcoins right after you mine them. You have to wait for a very large amount of confirmations[1]. So if you start mining Bitcoin Cash with all of your resources, then the price crashes, you may end up with large losses, compared to if you had stuck with Bitcoin.

To add information about your question, the amount of bitcoins produced in blocks is very low: 12.5, currently. With a supply over 16.5 million, it barely makes a dent in it unless you give it years.

although the flight sim is a little more interesting from a technical perspective, since it's interactive and also not using the GPU to do most of the computation.

Also, despite the source code being obfuscated, observe that that "external symbols" which are still visible, e.g. XDrawLine, XSetForeground, etc. already give a pretty good overview of how it does what it does --- and in general, when reverse-engineering or analysing software, inspecting where the "black box" interacts with the rest of the world is an important part of understanding it.
Not necessarily as more profitable means more resources will be allocated to mine it which makes this blockchain more robust and scalable which can lead to higher price as well.
I am an American who thinks a lot about the entire scope of the First Amendment. Of course the First Amendment is not just, as written, an injunction on Congress, but also a statement of the ideals of a free society. It includes the right to freedom of assembly (by name) and association (not by name, but by clear caselaw), and Namecheap, as a private business, has the right to associate or not associate with whomever they want. A society that obligates a private business to provide business to everyone, whether by cultural norm or by Congressional law, is not a free society.

There are a couple of protected categories, as stated both by the Constitution and by society's norms. Being a neo-Nazi is not one of them.

I may not have emphasized in my comment but human-readable code-gen is very important.

Think of scheme as just a tool to generate C code, and C code is your actual code that you wish to deal with (debugging, benchmarking, trying out variations, etc). If the code is not human readable, then you might as well forget about C and become a full-time scheme programmer.

What are you, an agent for autonomous engineers?

Uber can't ever own the critical technology in autonomous. They are late to the party, critical patents have been filed. Autonomous technology will be freely available when it's commercially feasible, Uber can buy some then. In the meantime it has to avoid blowing through the remainder of it's capital and stay alive.
"Forced" in the same sense that we say that women are forced to care about their physical appearance.

If we had an article claiming that men are being crowded out of the beauty industry, both as workers and customers, I would question the article if it did not take outside influence into account. The alternative theory that women are crowding out men and making it "women's work" would sound exceptional, and require exceptional good data.

Android already tried things like a universal message bus and a module-based architecture and while nice it doesn't quite live up to the promise for two reasons:

1. Application devs aren't trained to architect new software. They will port old shitty software patterns from familiar systems because there's no time to sit down and rewrite photoshop for Android. It's sad but true.

2. People abuse the hell out of it. Give someone a nice thing and someone else will ruin it whether they're trying to or not. A universal message bus has security and performance implications. Maybe if Android was a desktop os not bound by limited resources it wouldn't have pulled out all the useful intents and neutered services, but then again the author's point is we should remove these complex layers and clearly the having them was too complex/powerful/hungry for android.

I do think there's a point to be made that we're very mouse and keyboard centric at the primitive IO level and in UI design. I always wondered what the "command line" would look like if it was more complex than 128 ascii characters in a 1 dimensional array. But it probably wouldn't be as intuitive for humans to interface with unless you could speak and gesture to it as the author suggests.

If rental cars have the infrastructure Uber lacks, it should focus on surviving until autonomous is freely available and having the resources to build that infrastructure.

I spent 8 years working on Appleseed (also a federated social network, 2003 to approx. 2011) and it was worth every minute, even though it never went anywhere. Working on a problem that nobody has been able to solve gives you really good insight into software engineering that you can't get when you're implementing other people's solutions, no matter how complex those solutions are.

Even though I failed, I benefited quite a bit by taking on something so ambitious, and whether Diaspora succeeds or fails, the people working on it will most like be able to say the same.
