Maybe Fiverr? You could offer a specific task for some amount of time... Or vice versa, someone has a task and you offer you service and deliver e.g. after a week, but worked 50% on it...
CSS is an analog (continuous frequency function) modulation where the CSS standard specifies that only linear encoding be used while FSK is a digital modulation that can employ pseudo-random keying and operates at discrete frequency keys. Without these restriction imposed by standards, FSK would be a special case of CSS, at least mathematically.
Has someone claimed to have a better name?
biggest ones that immediately springs to mind is C&A and pfiser in the UK. the UK and US auto industries in general, manufacturing in general.

Google left the US.

So did Apple.

In fact, are there any multinationals left in high tax countries?
Sane name spaces, no hacks like "nonlocal", immutable bindings by default, more fluid syntax, functors, encapsulation, tail call elimination.
There are some inverters on the market that can directly power a load with no battery or grid connection.

I guess this was one of the first: http://www.smainverted.com/how-to-explain-secure-power-suppl...

At $500 additional cost, calling it a design issue is probably the correct thing.

Of course an auxiliary plug is way less convenient than whole house power, but a couple thousand watts is way more convenient than no electricity.
They don't have offices and don't pay taxes for 99% of countries. I don't see you standing up for the sovereign rights of the people from French Guiana or Egypt or Sudan. You see it just so happens that the full breadth of services offered by Facebook and Google are available essentially with a simple internet connection.

I'd dare say you could sign up for Gmail and Facebook as a scientist living in Antártica and who owns that?

It just so happens that the EU machinery is very well adept at being strong enforcers of taxation, in the very same way that you might see the Mafia send in a couple of guys to physically threaten you if you don't pay your debts. Bravo to them, I guess?
If you care about your privacy you won't upload your stuff to iCloud.
I honestly have this experience with plain Ubuntu, provided I wait at least a month to upgrade (my triple-monitor setup does not play well with brand new releases, but does fine soon after).

I have it running on two laptops (which I never have an issue upgrading) and my desktop and I almost never deal with maintenance, nor do I ever want to anymore.

I've considered Mint, but even just switching to another "Just Works" distro seems like more effort than I'm willing to commit to my desktop.
All developed countries have numerous storage depots, the existence and location of which are only accessible in some online form. Even offline digital form such as a downloaded wikipedia. So a computer-literate person might be of use to a post downfall warlord, plunked down before a laptop powered by a diesel generator and ordered to "do the magic" perl scripts to retrieve all Costco warehouses within a fifty mile radius...
> I really don't see switching to iOS an improvement.

And you can't technically "switch" to iOS. You have to buy a new device for that, a new phone. On a PC, you can tell people to "switch to Linux" because it does not cost them anything, but phones being what they are now, there is close to no Freedom left to the user to install a different OS.
well the manufacturers would tie into their system. If apple implemented this, you would be tied to their ecosystem, no? Don't see a way around that :)
Interesting that the article offers no alternatives to Google Photos. I know there are options, but they all seem to be far behind in terms of features. Plus, migrating all of my photos out of Google Photos would be pain.

Yeah but that's the point of Arch: teaching new blood to RTFM when it's patchday.

You can trivially fubar an arch install by updating your base install+user additions if you're not in the loop with the releases of whatever you installed.
You might have more luck looking at Active RFID. The same technology in any meaningful sense.
I'd like to see what it looks like without signing up for an account.
Steemit is not aimed at advanced users. Most probably don't even know that it's powered by a blockchain other than on a buzzword level.

There are plenty of guides how to work with the Steem blockchain directly posted as blog posts on the blockchain itself. :)
i hope you are aware of this kind of problems:

My favorite feature of ip(8) is its ability to load kernel modules https://twitter.com/lucabruno/status/902934379835662336
Personally, I prefer viewing HTTP headers in the comfort and privacy of my Secret Mountain Laboratory, with my fluffy cat on my lap, usually in the middle of the night, and often in complete silence. That Caddy has chosen to interrupt what to me is a sacred space with advertisements, while burning additional bandwidth, all day every day, for no good reason at all because only weirdos like me are going to see it is beyond obnoxious. In my view if this doesn't cross the line into being antisocial, then it walks right up to that line. Do what you want with your code, and due to the MIT license, so will the rest of the Internet. And PS using a Trademark in a product comparison is covered by fair use. You all really should familiarize yourselves with the Streisand Effect and fundamentals of public relations.
I think you are right. For soft applications, Excel is a powerful enough database that non-programmers can use. Anything Excel can't do can be done 'easily' by mysql.

I know that I've sat down to learn access (and later LibreOffice Base) but by the time I start into it I just think "there's really no advantage to using this over just mysql and a web page front end" and stop learning.
The main reason I stay away from anything debian based these days is apt. I've been stuck in apt-hell a few too many times.

Antergos (arch-based) seems to be treating me well.
Disappointingly, this list treats "yes" like a toy that just prints things over and over, and doesn't mention actual useful uses for "yes", like accepting all defaults without having to press enter.

Practical example: when you are doing "make oldconfig" on the kernel, and you don't care about all those questions:

yes "" | make oldconfig

Or, if you prefer answering no instead:

yes "n" | yourcommand

Also, the author refers to watch as a "supervisor" ("supervise command" - his words). That is bad terminology. Process supervision has well defined meaning in this context, and watch isn't even close to doing it.

Examples of actual supervisors are supervisord, runit, monit, s6, and of course systemd (which also does service management and, er, too much other stuff, honestly).
Everyone seems to be forgetting that you can get paid to transmit your extra power back to the grid during the day. Air conditioning, for example, is high during the day. You might not need it at home but someone else will.
Oh cool. Didn't know this was possible.
I have, in 2 different projects and rejected PRs to introduce it in another three. Because "all it seems to do" is move the problem to a different location.

You fail to give any examples as to why it would be an improvement too, aside from a very vague "less things I need to debug when things go wrong". Which I'd argue against since now I also need to potentially worry about things going wrong in PBR, which is one more thing I need to debug. This seems to be the general theme with pbr, there's no clear reasons for why it's better and when asked about it you get these kind of hand-wavy answers.

If you actually have some concrete examples as to what it improves and why I'm all ears.
What is the other side of the story? Link to the article please.
Even though it seems like implementing an aircraft carrier to kill a fly, what a amazing bunch of work. I wonder if you could implement this in hardware and wind up with a working computer.
> The social bs (beers and games up etc) are not mentioned in case of techers, because teachers are not expected to socialize with each other

You would be surprised then how common it is that men cite work culture issues when leaving the teaching profession. It is mentioned in the government report that I mentioned in a other comment.

Imagine a profession with incorporate gender identity into the work culture, and try to see what form of social BS it will produce for both men and women. Which one will would include beers and games?
> __they don't want these things next to where they live__.

Which is the precise definition of Not In My Back Yard...
The video presentation is particularly bad.
Slightly misleading title. The UK authorities are trying to lay £1.5bn in taxes on Amazon 3rd party sellers, and Amazon isn't helping enough to make that happen. The current title implies that it's Amazon who owes that tax, which isn't the case.
No judgement, I've been in the same place.

What you describe sounds like the consequence of installing a lot of packages. Arch "prefers" when you strip it down to what you need, if only because that way you don't need to worry about too many version mismatches.
Arch focuses on being easy to understand for someone doing something weird. This comes at some cost of ease of use, simply because making something easy to use probably means making things happen 'automagically'. Things that work automagically are very hard to understand.
Disappointed it does not mention people should NOT be using Chromebooks either. It's become quite prevalent these days.
Oh, agreed. But the ctrl-v trick is useful in general anywhere where you'd like to put a special character in an input or command.
I can affirm that. I don't understand how Arch gets this reputation for breaking during an upgrade. In the four years I've been using Arch on a variety of systems, I've never had anything break in a way that didn't have a trivial, obvious fix, and most of the time pacman points out potential problems during the upgrade. Arch has allowed me to spend way less time on system administration than I used to before I switched. Are people doing "sudo make install" or running binary driver installers as root? Or maybe it's because I switched right after the systemd transition and missed all the fun? Maybe I'm just lucky?
The difference is that in an economic down turn, I am protected by my vast wealth, where a poor person has no savings because they spend every dollar they have on necessities.

A consumption tax is always regressive.
The best feeling in the world is running `ps aux` on a fresh Arch installation and having the output all fit on half the screen, and you can precisely identify why every single thing line is there. And then having that still be true two months later.
I am quite depended on Google and it does not bother me at all. Very much similar way as I was depended with Microsoft years ago (Windows, Office, .NET etc...). I did not love them (in fact I though Bill Gates was quite evil guy) but with tools from Microsoft I was able to do my job just like now I do with different tools from Google.
Today, if Google would suddenly disappear it would affect to my life much more than any other technology company.
> migrating all of my photos out of Google Photos would be pain

You can export them (incl. meta data) through the regular Google Takeout. From there you just have to upload them again to your new, preferred cloud provider.
I would guess the same as a hurricane destroying your roof?
Thank you, I came here to say something about this, the whole article seems to misunderstand libertarianism.

The extreme fringe of libertarianism is anarchism and I think that is really what they were getting at. But most Libertarians as with any political affiliation are not at the fringe (though they may be the loudest).

This would be like judging all Republicans based on the Tea Party or all Democrats based on Socialism.

yeah, and good luck convincing anyone, anywhere that building a methadone clinic in their back yard is a good idea.

here's another turn of phrase you might find handy: choose your battles.
Regarding the last point.

Windows Defender will normally be active by default on Windows 10 unless you go out of your way to turn it off.
That's not a string where the same thing used for quoting is used inside the string without escaping, nor is it an example of the distinct begin-vs-end quote pairs approach under discussion.

But, yes, having single and double quoted strings is another way to avoid escaping (which Ruby and a number of other languages discussed as supporting the approach being discussed also support.)
I'm trying to minimize my interaction with google, but I still use google maps and google translate.
Unfortunately Open Street Maps is nearly impossible to use.
And I didn't find any alternatives to translate at all
I think a lot of the common use case for things like Access were in storing customer databases - I'd imagine that a lot of applications that previously would have been done in Access are now done in CRM platforms like Salesforce - either because Salesforce and / or partner tools directly provide the functionality, or because you can go a pretty long way defining custom objects and fields.
I agree. For pretty much anything I do I'm using it without another thought. Even the error messages are coming back well (but I am probably searching simple error messages and not edge-case stuff). Also, hobby (sailing) and around-the-house stuff is coming up great.

I still don't understand their business model though.
You and the average american don't care about trustless decentralized services -- so what? If we only developed whatever tech the average person cared about, we wouldn't be typing here on this website today.
> install a rom like Lineageos

And you have to trust a binary from a "nightly" build hosted on who knows where for your model - There's so much possibility for stuff to happen I'm not sure it's even a good recommendation to make.
Of course it can be done, it's whether you want to do it or now.

I use kolabnow which replaces google docs, calendar, gmail, google drive for me. I use Opera with Duckduckgo instead of Chrome and google.com. Of course it's not as pretty and fancy and you have to PAY for it, but it solves my problem.

I don't get these articles, it's not rocket science. It's actually very easy to do. It's just a matter of preference.
Lucky! Currency would have a lot worse tax implications.
Would SVG not be a more elegant solution?
F* is somewhat well known in circles of information security, but it's not widely used in general. It's frequently used for formal verification of cryptographic protocols. If you look at the papers on the website you'll see a variety of applications for provable security in crypto.

I wouldn't call it a general purpose language (in the sense that you can productively use it for just about anything), but to be fair I've only read papers about/using the language; I've not used it personally. It's a great leap forward for provable security in general, though.

"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway."

—Tanenbaum, Andrew S. (1989).
I you run a very memory hungry program (like some specific scientific program), it can happen that 3GB of your memory from the browser, text editor, etc. is moved to swap. Then, when you kill the program and want to go back to normal, just changing the tab in your browser can take a long time.

By flushing the swap, you wait some time first but then it all runs smoothly. When using a hard drive and not SSD the difference is even bigger.
Well, all the neat features of Google Photo rely on ML and swath of data to work.

Photo seems to be part of takeout : https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout

I have not tried it for photo but it seems like you can download all your albums.

One thing that Google is exemplary at in my experience is in providing an easy way to export all your data if you want to.
LOL This old chestnut again.

> But you see those people, with your own eyes, and thus know they exist.

But I still don't see their credit report. I could still fall for someone fraudulently claiming to be poor.

> I don't e.g. particularly trust Facebook, but I trust the social web - if I have a friend who has a friend who has a friend who is a friend of the rural kid in Africa, I can with high confidence assume the rural kid in Africa exists[0].

Well, first of all, if you receive that information from facebook, then you necessarily need to trust facebook first before you can even start with that investigation.

But also: Do you trust facebook to not misrepresent the non-existence of that rural kid in Africa? Is that trust warranted?

> But I think in pretty much all of them you want to at least know the other person is a human being, and frequently you also want to know they are who they say they are.

You don't really expect to accidentally become friends with a bot quite yet, do you? Just because it's difficult for machines sometimes to detect bots, doesn't mean that is really a major problem for closer social connections. Also, what does "know they are who they say they are" even mean? You say you are TeMPOraL, and I am pretty sure you are TeMPOraL, what more is there to "know you are who you say you are" that could be improved by "identity checks" on the part of a "social network"?

> This effect is actually sabotaged by the pro-privacy efforts to hide as much information about people as possible, rendering users unable to follow the social web chains beyond their own direct connections. Privacy is important, but it's always a trade-off, sometimes trading off genuinely useful things.

Which is why every privacy advocate is for individual control. Privacy is not about forcing you to be paranoid, but about giving you the control over your data. There is nothing wrong with you being able to prove your identity to a peer that you want to prove your identity to, say. The problem is when you are forced to prove your identity no matter the need for the actual social interaction.l
Monopoly or not, Google and FB have way too much power--unless you want to be secretly governed by a group of unaccountable tech overlords...
If you want to host static sites at no cost on Google's global infrastructure, I suggest a look at "Firebase Hosting". It is a closer match for this need, works very well. It has some features that GAE doesn't, like the ability to auto-issue-and-provision an SSL cert for a custom domain. It has HTTP2 push.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/

Don't be distracted by the word Firebase - it is just a brand name in this context. You don't need to use the Firebase database, just because you use Firebase hosting.
It would be nicer if it were not proprietary.
Short version (from the point of view of an outsider to the events):

During the last big large scale conflict, an alliance called CO2 defected from its parent coalition The Imperium to the other side. This was a big loss to the Imperium - CO2 were one of their larger and better groups of fighters. It turned the tide of the war and the Imperium were left with emnity towards CO2 due to their betrayal.

In the time since then, Gigx who runs CO2 has (among other things) been annoying people inside and outside his alliance over various diplomatic incidents. One of those was TheJudge who was a leader in CO2 (but subordinate to gigx). Simultaneously TheJudge was being slowly talked into betraying CO2 by a couple members of the Imperium. This was significantly helped by the three of them being on a player elected group of representatives to the developers, that meets in person a few times a year.

TheJudge had enough power and control over the alliance and its assets that when he eventually decided to actually jump ship, he could sell off ships, space stations ('citadels') and other expensive things owned by the alliance. The Imperium are taking credit for this betrayal - they consider it 'revenge'.

Up to now this is all classic Eve - betrayal by people you trust. The postscript is less nice though: gigx in a moment of anger asked in in game chat for real life contact details for TheJudge so that he could 'cut off his hands'. This is obviously not OK and CCP banned gigx permanently. This has the side-effect of putting the final nail in the CO2 coffin.
Yeah but latency sucks.
I need to be honest, for me it was definitely the fact that you can earn money for just writing blog posts and curating. Also that it's so transparent what people make, it really motivates you to post when you see someone earn thousands of dollars from one post.

I did however find out that the community is great, made many new friends and read a lot of interesting posts. Lately it looks like it has been kind of overrun with people from China or third-world countries, which is interesting, but sometimes the posts are not translated and the steemit.com site does a poor job of managing different languages.

I haven't been active on Steemit for more than a year but thinking of going back since I miss it. It's very consuming though, a lot more than Facebook. Since there's a monetary reward on everything you do it feels like "working" even when you're mindlessly upvoting stuff. I used to spend many hours a day just reading, jotting on a new blog post or connect with fellow steemians on the official chat server.
Happy Returns wants to give e-commerce sites hundreds of return centers
Do you have a good article to share for this, or is it generally infeasible?
Sure. In my book a competition is between two peers. When the two competitors are grossly asymmetrical I call that a conflict, and consider we are outside of the free market doctrine, but whatever floats your boat.
They're just cleverly preparing you for the experience of the first website served over LoRa.
Been running Arch since March, and I have to say that, after years of trying Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora/openSUSE unsuccessfully, this is the one that finally made me switch to desktop Linux.

The documentation is the main advantage for me. The Arch Wiki is a real treasure trove. I have learned more about the internals of Linux in the past few months than I have in the few years before that. And that's coming from someone who did a full stage one Gentoo install back in 2007!

I was always very skeptical of rolling releases until I tried Arch. I always feared an "unstable" system. In practice, however, I never ran into many problems, and when I did, a full system upgrade a few days later usually fixed the issue. The maintainers are very reactive.
I don't think ST3 broke anything. More likely Package Control 3.3.0, that was released three days ago, is the issue.
The pace of the product space and the profile of players in the space both indicate that sandbagging is an awful strategy. I'm likely to believe it's a lack of deliverable.
"Science"'s answer to opioid addiction: prescribe opioids, declare addict cured.

PS I'm not an advocate of treatment because they also employ shortcuts to "recovery".
> There is a problem of silent evidence and survivor bias here. What is important is not what they did that led to their recovery, but what they did differently (or, more generally, what was different in their circumstances) from those that tried to recover, but didn't.

That's assuming they did anything different at all. It could just be that there is not a one size fits all treatment for this problem, and part of the solution is to match the right treatment for each particular addict.
