The Box (RIP) was a torrent sever dedicated to British programming, and turned me on to a bunch of amazing shows from the 70s.

My favorite is Secret Army, an espionage thriller about a Belgian resistance unit during WWII that I devoured over the course of a few months. It stars Bernard Hepton, who also appears in the sequel series, Kessler, as well as in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People.

Colditz is from the early 70s and perhaps a little more dated as far as production values go but still great. There was a recent HN post about the story of the Colditz glider, built by British prisoners to escape the castle they were held prisoner in by air.
I don't see Antifa mowing down protesters in cars and spewing Nazi hate speech at Nazi rallies they organized though, so I'd say that's a false equivalency.
Indeed, but what Django considers static assets are, with many modern frameworks, build results, not source itself. If you put all the UI bits inside static, you'll either service your JS source files, build config, node_modules and the like, or you'll need to muck around hiding those.

If instead you have a separate project diferctory for the UI bits and then just configure it to use the Django's static folder as the output dir (or alternatively, configure Django to to add the UI build folder in STATICFILES_DIRS), you avoid this pain.
"In practice, the forced revelation of information makes individual privilege and power more important. When everyone has to play with their cards on the table, so to speak, then people who feel like they can be themselves without consequence do so freely -- these generally being people with support groups of like-minded people, and who are neither economically nor physically vulnerable. People who are more vulnerable to consequences use concealment as a method of protection: it makes it possible to speak freely about controversial subjects, or even about any subjects, without fear of harassment."

19 Entrepreneurs Explain the Best Way That They Market Their Business
This is 2017. We have had this debate in 1994.

We have also had this debate when smd proxy aggregated routes because certain network was announcing every /24s instead of /12s causing certain routers to run out of memory ( I'm pretty sure those were AGS+ ). It came known as "you will aggregate or I will aggregate it for you and you won't like it". While it was done just for a few hours the consequences were rather unforeseen.

Right around that time it was determined that no one outside the AS knows why the AS is choosing to announce routes in a specific way and those outside it were better not be "smart" over it. That was also around the time it was decided that one simply registered everything correctly and announced only what was registered and announced it the way it was registered.

All of our owners also must work 2.75 hours a month, and you can't shop at our coop without being an owner.

I have seen some other coops where they have separate pricing for owners vs. members vs. regular folk, but I don't know how successful they are.

About half the reason I joined the coop was to get a look under the hood of how a coop like this works - so far I've been fascinated and learned a lot about human psychology and politics.

In some sense, Uber drivers are also customers, in that they are buying the leads and software from Uber corporate.

I also think if there are ways to have customers also be owners that can be a really great set up.

But you don't "see the gears behind the code turn". I remember fondly the old computers that flashed their memory at you, floppy access, or later memory addresses, then later cpu and hdd activity, then just hdd, and now nothing. The feedback, the pulse, of our devices is now so small to be hidden entirely. I find I prefer physical switches and buttons over virtual "smart" buttons almost every time. I miss knowing what a button does without having to examine software. These watches speak to that in a way even good code can not (and I can enjoy some good code). Its simply less abstracted.

The ideal is somewhere in the middle.

[Base Wingsuiting] is safer than regular base jumping provided
you don't try to strafe tree and hilltops and cliffsides

Safer because a wingsuit can allow you to track much further away from the cliff you've just jumped off, which means that a typical deployment issue - where the parachute opens off-heading, therefore inducing a turn - doesn't immediately steer you back into that cliff.

A wingsuit can give you freer air for deployment, which increases the margin for error, but wingsuit BASE seems to be aimed at proximity flying.

> In Void, which is using Runit, enabling a service (like alsa, crond, cupsd, etc) is a matter of creating a symlink, which feels very transparent and reliable.

It's exactly the same in systemd, although people usually use systemctl. It will report what it does:

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/sshd.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service.

So what you are saying is that a space elevator is theoretically possible. I think that's step 0 in building something. Being theoretically possible is the most basic prerequisite.

Just because something is theoretically possible doesn't mean it's feasible or practical to build in real life. For example, we have known that it's theoretically possible to build vacuume sealed trains, aka the hyperloop, since before the first airplane took flight. And yet whilst you see planes fly everywhere, you don't see any vacuum sealed trains.
For what its worth, you can still call AOL on the phone if you get locked out of your account, and they still have millions of users.

(Mind you, case can be made that Google's lack of the same makes the account more secure.)
Game of Thrones for example is somewhat popular, but IMO that's mostly because of how bad the average TV show is not how great it is.

It's closest 70's show would probably be Dallas which had 350 million people worldwide watch an episode. That's a well done hook even if they could not show nudes etc.

As to offending people, MAS*H had men in drag show up regularly which really would offend people. Yet, apparently 60% of US households tuned in for the final episode. IMO, this suggests they actually had some freedom.

> Just to keep things in perspective, all I'm saying is that "the ability to write multiplication naturally" comes at a cost. I'm aware of Haskell/ML-like syntax for curried functions, but it is at odds with juxtaposition for multiplication.

But it doesn't. I've already explained why it's not an issue: they associate the same way (so it's not a parse-time issue), and they're never ambiguous (the type of the LHS is a function in one case and a number in the other case, and functions and numbers are never the same, so it's never an issue).

>Recall, I said "tends not to". My point was that the notation of mathematics is set up to prefer the case of functions returning values.

Functions are values...

>But sin can be represented as a power series and cos can be substituted in with cos^n meaning iterating cos n times. This may or may not be reasonable; I don't think it is "obvious."

I think it's pretty obviously unreasonable. In any reasonable language:

sin : Number -> Number
cos : Number -> Number

So 'sin cos' is going to be a type error: "type mismatch, expected type 'Number' in argument to 'sin', got 'cos: Number -> Number'.

If those ads worked, the CPM would be higher and advertisers would invest in those instead. But they don't, so contextual it is.

I agree with some of that. Progress and freedom have costs.

Where it gets problematic for me is when there is a promoting entity that doesn't have skin in the game [0].

Also, maybe drugs weren't the best analogy:

What about MMA (mixed-martial arts)? Would the UFC be tolerated if the death-rates matched wing suit jumping?

Also, one-way trips to Mars: Are those people and entities promoting the idea planning to go to Mars themselves?

It's not just about the tensile strength of the materials. The dynamics of a lunar elevator necessitates and extraordinary amount of weight to be used as a counterweight nevermind the length of the cables themselves.

Just because something ticks the checkbox of being theoretically possible doesn't mean it's practical or feasible to build.

Maybe in a few hundred years we'll have the means to build something on that scale. It still takes $10k to put 1kg in LEO, imagine the cost of transferring to the Lagrange points.

First thoughts on Haskell
> Collecting users' data is a core part of their business model.

Collecting data is part of product strategy, it's not a business model unless you're actually selling it - which none of the companies people wring their hands over do.

I worked at a startup where part of the pitch to investors is that we would get in early and collect all this data that would be expensive and maybe even impossible to replicate. Well, we collected all the data during the course of actually providing our service, it just turned out there wasn't a whole tonne of value in large volumes of unlabeled data.

Every product person hopes that data will make their product better, but not all data is created equal. If it's not signalling what you want somehow, it's basically worthless.
Instead, you develop code in a file, but constantly evaluate code as you go along.

Half the time I find I go the other way. I develop in jupiter, and copy the function to a file once I get it working.
I will never use a subscription app if the computation happens in the client. E.g. Photoshop, Mathematica, games, etc. Not even if the price is low. Note that I will happily pay thousands of dollars in this programs as long as they are not subscription based.

I might use a subscription based app if it's just a frontend for something that happens server side, but even with that the bar is very high. It needs to fundamentally require server side computation that can't be done on the client for whatever reason. For example, the cloud Mathematica thing does not pass the bar.

So far no application has passed the bar.

Unrelated, but another turnoff are apps that require .pkg installers. Drag and drop should be enough for anything except perhaps kernel drivers, and I don't want to install 3rd party kernel drivers anyway. E.g. VMware should use the hypervisor framework rathet than its own kernel drivers.
> Beginning to ‘assert and defend our freedom of attention’ is an urgent moral and political task

This should've been done years ago with the billboards plastered around nearly every major city.
Certain features of social networks like likes, reactions, recommendations, etc. trigger micro-dopamine releases in the brain, which in turn keep the individual craving for more.

The infinity scrolling appeals to our hunger for more and more stimuli, which in turn has us spend more time browsing the network. That longer exposure allows FB to monetise even further.

One thing that worries me – and it's not discussed in the article – is the loss of productivity, as well as cost of the opportunity for the individual.

In fact, individuals who become addicted to social networks may carry a psychological cost as well, which in turn reflects on the productivity of the individual inside the global economy system.

You could argue that time spent on Facebook would've been spent on other leisure activities anyway. But is it true? Much of this time is now spent due to compulsive behaviour, every 5 minutes, 10 minutes, as soon as you wake up, before going to bed, etc.
> but planes are regularly stretched[1][2]

One of the main design requirements for those plane models was, right from the start, to support multiple variants by adopting a modular design.

Yet, they are still very tightly coupled.

In fact, IIRC the Airbus A340 project is widely known for having experienced a billion-euro delay due to production problems caused by CAD software issues. In short, if my memory doesn't fail me, some design teams used Catia V4 while others migrated to Catia V5, whose CAD engine was rewritten from scratch. Consequently, some slight differences in how the different versions handled geometry definitions resulted in some electric cables designed by some engineering teams to be incompatible with the structural layout designed by other engineering teams. We're talking about differences in centimeters in a plane with a wingspan with around 56m.
I see. When I see "immutable", I think of Prolog and Erlang (e.g. once X is 6, X can't be matched to 5 in the same scope) rather than languages that simply prefer byval over byref.
