The scenario you describe sounds impractical, unlikely and unworkable, a very edge case "iOS fan family".

Walking out the door with just "any device" that is laying about? Nobody wants that. For one thing, an object like a phone is a personal device, not a sugar bowl passed around and left anywhere.

Your son and daughter will want their own devices, and it makes sense to give them their own devices such as your old phone or cheap phone. For one thing, when you hand your kid your phone you no longer have a phone. Someone might text or call, or the kid will burn through your battery with some game.

This only scratches the surface of what's wrong with your idea.

This is indeed a great article about building a practical search system. However the title is a bit aggrandizing. Not every software engineer actually needs to know this stuff, just people who are building products with search capabilities.

Yup, and intellectual feudalism is one of them, one that I hope we manage to avoid.
The problem is that it's got a very solid legal pedigree. One of the first things the founding fathers did is to provide for forfeiture of contraband (in the customs context). It's also incorrect to say that there is no due process or other recourse--the government still bears the burden of proving that the property is the proceeds of a crime: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/983.
>I'm really glad our country is at place where being funny on a social media website is enough to make a good living, but I can't help but feel there's something missing—something keeping them grounded.

I am the opposite of "glad" about this. It's highly concerning to me. My sister is also a school teacher and her students are just 4th graders and see this as legitimate life goals. Think of how that forms the development of a young child.

To be totally clear: kids learn all the grammar on their own from the examples. This whole concept is called "exemplar theory" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exemplar_theory

Before the kids are taught to explicitly discuss linguistic concepts like grammar, they already have the full grammar learned in their head. Furthermore, some of what they are taught is actually wrong because it's basically invalid hypotheses that people came up with when trying to describe the grammar.

This is not to say that explicit study of grammar isn't interesting or useful. But it's not how you best learn language, and it's certainly far more biased to teach from a grammar-principles-first approach than to teach by just learning examples and letting your brain do its natural statistical learning process.
Yet again I'm amazed by blenders progress. I've been a 'hobby 3d artist' for the past decade and find it incredibly useful in my full time job (front end dev). Blender to me is a shining example of an open source project that seems to constantly improve and give the proprietary apps like 3ds max and maya a run for their money.

While the learning curve for blender can be fairly steep, once you get over that hump, it's an absolute joy to use. A lot of people struggle with the UI, but once you 'get it', it becomes an incredibly fluid and well thought out interface. It still has it's quirks, but as far as 3D packages go, the UI is actually really great.

This update adds lots of things that I have been waiting for. Shadow catchers with cycles has always been possible, but it required a fairly obtuse method to get there. The denoiser for cycles as well in an incredibly nice feature and works incredibly well. The PBR shader is also a real joy to use. Coupled with a decent set of textures, PBR shaders make shading a seriously fun activity. Although it's nothing new (in the industry) it's really nice to have it in blender.

A real asset to any designers toolkit.

Found 3 disks of Mandrake 8.1, one disk of Mandrake 9.0, and one of Slackware 11.

I know that I've got a few of Red Hat 8, and at least one of 9, because I had the book "Red Hat Linux 8 for Dummies", and downloaded the extra disks from Red Hat themselves afterwards. I think that book's in my (sleeping) son's room, along with some other mid-2000s Linux disks.
I can agree with the extrovert/autonomy part.

> Is wanting to be a YouTube channel host really a marker of vanity?

I'd say it's a good indicator. Not every channel will be like https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4mLlRa_dezwvytudo9s1sw or https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBackyardScientist with funny or informative skits.

Sometimes I'll open the 'search' part of Instagram and just scroll through the posts and wonder how so many people have their own brands when all the do is post selfies. I'd totally do it if I could. But it's definitely vanity.

People in US are doing just fine without special "taxi" training. You think Uber drivers does not know short cuts? Rating system is a far better motivator for drivers.

In Turkey and likely in other countries there are regulations for commercial drivers such as they need special health certificates etc but everybody knows it is turns to be just another paper you can buy. If Uber does not follow the regulations you mention, people has a right to choose anyway. The only regulation necessary is to make it deliberate in the cars. A sign telling "This driver does not have first aid training".
Yeah. I think I like the sRGB version of it more though...
Couple of issues here, speaking as a facial recognition developer, of arguably one of the leaders in the industry.

1) The use of 3D data is a step in the right direction, but to use it reliably it has to constantly re-calibrate to the individual(s) it is supposed to pass. This is very important and a constant issue if using a person's 3D depth data as their face for authentication. My employer pioneered the use of 3D data for facial recognition, via 3D reconstruction, before scanning and depth cameras were feasible. In doing so, we became aware of the significant variation an individual's 3D facial form undergoes during any time period: different times of the day, yes, significant 3D facial form transformation; different days, definitely. Females significantly more, as they experience 3D form transformations simply from their menstrual cycle. Men who drink, less so than women, also gain significant facial form transformations on a weekly basis. Over the course of a season, everyone undergoes significant 3D form transitions, to the degree authentication is not reliable unless constant re-calibration occurs. Which introduces issues of system failure after indeterminate lapses of use, or sudden physical transformation - such as an accident, where your face is swollen. A person could be attacked, and their face altered to the degree their phone no longer authenticates. A person could fast for 2 days, not use their phone, and it will no longer pass.

2) They should be using multiple biometrics for authentication. The facial image in combination with the depth information, if treated separately with completely separate verification trained algorithms, only counts as two biometrics. Reliable authentication of a device attached to one's credit cards and finances requires a MINIMUM of 3 biometrics. They could solve that with the addition of Touch-ID or the addition of a pass code in addition to the face image and the face 3D depth data. But that borders on 'inconvenience', and I feel consumer pleasing stupidity. Sometimes being safe should require an extra step, simply so the consumer has the assurance their data is safe. It's like hearing the click as the lock on your door seals. Too automatic, and it's insecure because one never knows if it is active.

However, ignoring the face as authentication, the iPhone just became a very slick 3D avatar creator.

I do create, use (compare/lookup) and store uuids, by design. Base64url is just one of possible encoding methods for, as you may have noticed, passing it through url. Other channels may have other [incompatible] limitations or not have these, so there is no need to stick to specific escaping format.

Your long story short is: get rid of uuidv4 tag and use smelly format unreadable by virtually anyone outside of your code. Or generate random bytes environment-agnostically by yourself. No, thanks.
This reminds me that I should dig out the CDs I have of several of those albums.... Maybe it's time to switch back to a Philadelphia Chickens ring tone again.
Wow, their website has improved a lot since I last visited too.

And I like how they make User Interface improvements notable additions to their change log / announcements. Such an important part of software.
Teaching fundamentals won't change much if the software with the good features is never developed. The app business model is hard on things that are for pro users, and this group is shrinking because it is too much trouble to do things right.

Power users are being wrestled to the floor by locking bootloaders, not releasing source code and banning apps from the popular web stores. Eventually, they get fed up and just join the normal consumers using 3rd party web-apps with biased features.

There was a civil forfeiture case in 1827[0] where a ship was seized for piracy without convicting the owner of the crime... the supreme court upheld that action. It also lays out a couple of things: that the property is considered the offender; and that the property's offense and the owners criminal offense are two separate issues.

That's the basis for civil forfeiture laws.

There was a recent case that came up: Leonard v Texas[1].. where 200k in cash was seized that police said was from narcotics sales. She had a bill of sale for a home for the same amount. The problem is, she didn't raise the due process issue until it reached the supreme court.. which is a procedural error.. so the court denied it.

So I think we're still waiting for a more modern ruling from the supreme court on it.

Looks like the truth hurt the majority of you too much. This is fact in the life of an electronics repair tech, so much so that it should be written as a law. Most users have ZERO CLUE. They don't read a manual. They piddle around until they get what they want working and tend to stop there, and go no further.

Oh, and panic mode? Cop sees you doing that, you've obviously got something to hide and they can act then and there. Not a very smart move.

This is reality. You may not like it, but you're part of the reason it is what it is.

> "YouTube or Instagram star" instead of the usual firefighter/police officer/doctor/soldier/etc...disturbing trend

Does your mother moralise her second graders' choices like this? (I'd guess not.) The number of people helped or even saved by movement leaders or other cultural icons can easily exceed the contributions of the public sector roles you described. I don't see why "Instagram star" is that different from "movie star" or "astronaut" for that matter. (It certainly seems better than "football player.")

I worked at Lindows/Linspire so below is obviously biased.

> The desktop was under-powered

It was the first sub $200 PC, what did you expect? The PC actually sold very well.

> their software manager lacked too many apps and... it still suffered from dependency hell - leading to breakage.

It was Debian under the hood and later Ubuntu and had every package in respective apt repo. It made available every major GUI based desktop app at the time via a graphical installer as the target user had no clue what CLI was nor “apt-get”. This turned a lot of existing Linux users off but they (you) were never the target market.

Linspire also made huge strides in specifically addressing dependencies including developing a package manager called Opium (https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~lerner/papers/opium.pdf). A number of these features went on to be folded directly into apt itself.

> Linspire's attempt at low-cost did Linux a lot of harm.

To the target market/user Linspire did far more good than harm. To the community, Linspire/Lindows gave back a ton. This included:

- Financial supporter to Wine
- Financial supporter to ResierFS (far ahead of any filesystem at the time… horrible tragedy what happened with his wife Nina)
- Financial supporter to Debian (RIP Ian)
- Financial supporter to Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird (ex. inline spell checking was first found in Linspire)
- Funded gaps in applications such as NVU HTML editor
- First sub $200 PC in retail store
- First commercial “app store” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNR_(software))
- Was sued for Microsoft for trademark infringement and walked away with $20 million (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._Lindows.com,_Inc.)
- Fastest Linux installer at the time by wide margin
- Early adopter of Haskell
- First distro to use Bittorrent for distribution
- Funded Desktop Linux Summit
- Funded initiative to translate major apps into 50+ languages

All told Linspire put millions per year back into the community. One can argue business model to death but over 10 years of hindsight now show that consumers simply had no appetite for commercial desktop Linux (nor do they still).

Where Linspire really fell on its face was running as root. There could have been much more elegant solutions to solve this but decision was solely outside of engineering.
Exactly. IMAP is IMAP is IMAP, anything goes. Only if you crave for great web UIs then things narrow down to Fastmail/Gmail. Although, Gmail has been gone to crap, UI-wise for me. The process of writing plain-text emails has turned so cumbersome and the UI occasionally stops retrieving new mail to show. Too bad I'm still in love with Gmail labels: they act as TODO entries for me. IMAP folders won't replicate this behavior because the message can't be foldered _and_ remain in Inbox but I guess I can manage.

We have a Finnish, for-Finns-only nonprofit community that hosts email, ssh, www, you name it that I subscribed to for €40/y and I'm planning to move all of my gmail business over there. It's easy because I've had my domain for years now and it has been redirecting mail to my gmail.

And I already moved my github pages over. (Github is also having fits for wrongthinkers.)

The legal pedigree matters if you want to get the law abolished or changed by the Supreme Court. But in theory it is also possible to have representatives vote on new laws, exercising the legislative power in what is its nominal seat.

Yup. I like being able to share without anyone being obligated to see it. Sharing on Facebook carries, for me, some social burden--I don't want to pollute friends' timelines with things only I find fun. But on Snapchat, if you're watching my Snaps, you chose to swipe left into them. (I really hate messaging on Snapchat, in part due to its lack of end to end encryption.)
> Not at all. I'm not telling anybody how to be happy.

Well, you were. You said it's hard to be pursue happiness without property rights.

Anyway, you're conflating two aspects of property rights. First, the mere concept of property rights: property exists, people use it in some manner, therefore some sort of access right is involved. Second, the actual private ownership and enforcement of property. I've never seen a libertarian argue in favour of Right to Roam over private property (or any other kind of public access right). It's a simplistic philosophy wherein the right to private property trumps any concern other than the right to be free in action - it has no answers when dealing with real-world issues like scarcity of common goods such as water supplies.

To be more specific then, when I say that libertarianism is overly interested in property rights, I don't mean the merest hint of humans interacting with property. I mean that too much of their central philosophy is based around control of private property and enforcement thereof.
