Speaking about monopoly, there are many competing video hosting services in China. That's a quite fruitful competition among them, leading to many of them try to find the niche for itself and lean to some user category or other.
A DSLR can "sleep" with the power switch on, waiting for a shutter press for weeks. I actually have no idea how long it can go, because the drain seems to be practically zero...
on the other hand, book sales surely subsidize the hardware costs, so they'd have had to sell those android kindles for significantly more. which wouldn't have been a good thing for consumers. which one outweighs the other? beats me.

Yes, india is the source of warm-body shops that produce crud like this more than other nations, but there are shops in india that aren't like this, and there are shops like this in places that have nothing to do with india.

You can't take 'statistically, it's more likely' as a basis to espouse racism; that's generally bad for business and life, and more to the point, highly immoral.

You're basically holding anyone who lives in india, speaks with an indian accent, or in any other way comes across as 'related to india', as responsible for your bad experience.

Someone born in india isn't at fault for the mistakes that either Icreon or Saama Inc has made, and making them responsible for it is stupid: They have neither the responsibility, nor the power, to affect any of that. You might as well go catch a fish and hold it responsible, that makes about as much sense.

In a vacuum, 'I don't wanna work with indian companies' is a rule of thumb that some have adopted, and I completely see why, but be aware that it's based on a piss poor stochastic indicator: You're far better off finding ways to filter out dev shops based on more tangible markers, such as references you can trust, demos of work that seem believable, a good chat about how they intend to run the project, talking to the actual devs and doing a quick scan of whether they can, in fact, program, and a contract that has lots of deliverables, especially early on, with an escape clause to abort the project before you've spent too many funds on it.

Generally, a shop like Increon or Saama, indian or not, won't make the cut if you apply such common sense.
We also need to fix the internet so that DDoSing is harder.

Imagine a world where all ISPs didn't let you spoof IP address. And, controversially, one where ISP customers had to pay for their SmartToaster's outbound DoS.

While we intend to provide ways for our customers to insert advertising or partner with third party advertisers, I don't think we'll be providing an ad network ourselves anytime soon. As a result, end users will have much more control over exactly how their content is monetized.

Using your example, a firearms video stream could stream videos through Cloudflare Stream and sell ads themselves or partner with an ad network that was willing to sell them to an audience that cared about firearms. I totally agree that the one-size-fits-all solution of Facebook or YouTube reverts to the lowest common denominator and, in doing so, will inherently not be right for every publisher.
If you don't trade cryptos it looks really nice, but if you trade cryptos, then yes it did not do that great compared to the overall market. I have done over 600% in the past year, but I know plenty of people who are in the negative because they bought high and sold low. In the end, anyone who can make 295% return and have 9000+ investors following them is going to be just fine.

You might be thinking of the debate over whether CBP can search your cloud data (vs. only the data present on your phone) at a border crossing.

This is in the same vein thematically but substantially different both legally and technically. It applies to immigrants whether or not they are crossing borders, and it builds a permanent database of what they've found. Whether this is illegal or not depends on the nature of "what they've found" - it sounds like they're "just" going to be buying up the same data sources advertisers use, which is probably legal. (But terrifying.)
in open floor offices you are elbow to elbow to somebody else all day long.

sick days are just a way to cope with that and get away from those people. especially with engineers. or take some time at home to do things online like buying tickets for a concert that you don't want to talk about in the office. its stressful to be watched every second. sick days and "have a cold, will work from home" are just a way to escape. doubt anyone was really sick.

Something I’m curious about regarding Mr. Money Mustache - is he actually retired, in the sense that he doesn’t do anything to bring in income (except through passive index investing)?

It seems like he has a brand that is pretty lucrative, so it’s unclear to me if he:

1. has enough money to be functionally retired at his current lifestyle, but chooses to continue his brand anyway,

2. has enough money to be functionally retired, but not at his current lifestyle, and so chooses to continue his brand,

3. cannot functionally retire and simply “transitioned” from professional software development to professional blogging.

I follow the logic of his blog series (reduce spending dramatically, increase savings dramatically, invest optimally), but I can’t tell how much of it contributes to his current lifestyle.

The decentralized web is broken. You can kick almost any website off the internet after sending $2 to a booter. This leads to centralization.

It's an important distinction IMO. Roughly 99% of the GPL is irrelevant to the end user if they don't have all of the knowledge, desire, and time to crack open the code and modify it.
Something similar happened in the past where Google blocked Microsoft's YouTube app on Windows Phone.

The reason was that the only official way Google allowed for non iOS/Android clients was if they used the HTMl API. Microsoft decided they wanted native performance so they wrote their own client to YouTube instead of using the HTML API. Microsoft's YouTube didn't play advertisements, which obviously Google wasn't ok with. So after some back and forth Google just said "No".

I think Amazon probably made a similar mistake here.

A lot of the "hunk" and weight in the camera comes from needing a certain amount of room for the mirror and sensor, plus a solid coupling mechanism for the lenses, plus a good amount of surface to provide comfortable grip, plus a number of slots for all kinds of connectors (for your tripod, for you external flash), etc.

I'm not saying the design can't be improved, or that every empty recess couldn't be filled with extra battery capacity, but personally I find the current state of affairs (where you can just get an extra battery for $20 and throw it in your camera bag) better than a phone-like model with non-replaceable batteries.
Ever worked the help desk? My users would push that button twice then call me in 5 minutes to tell me their computer has been hacked (just after it crashed of course).

I hate the telematics and the "anti-user" stubbornness of Windows in general, but at the same time, I know all too well who they're targeting and why. More and more of my less technical users are requesting Macs, which are a PITA to admin but at the same time generate fewer tickets because they're really hard to fuck up. I don't like seeing Windows move this direction, but I get it.
A huge thing that's missing is a proper file system, especially with undelete/recycle bin capabilities. It's amazing how in a consumer product like this, "delete" is essentially `rf -f`.

Oh god. I'm horrified by this.

> People think of a cult as a bad thing [...] really, it’s just a social organization structure which is a basic built-in thing to human beings

This is the naturalistic fallacy, or the is-ought fallacy. Other basic built-in things to human beings include ignorance, rage, greed, abuse, exploitation, and violence.

A core part of civilization is deciding which of our basic built-in things are valuable, amplifying the useful bits, and circumscribing the ones that aren't. Treating something as good because it's natural is a giant error. A very convenient one for him here.
Oracle is a fine enough database (it really is), but it costs an exceptional amount of money and (I haven't touched it in a long time so I may be out of date on this, but I don't think I am) the developer tool experience is not great. Oracle SQL Developer is ugly and slow compared to SQL Server Management Studio. Basically, if you've used both Oracle and SQL Server you can tell which company had their CEO on stage shouting "developers developers developers" and which is run by the lawnmower.
I think there's a significant difference between preinstallation requirements and support. It'd be excellent if antitrust action against Google required they compulsorily offer Google Apps to any device which can technically install them, so that Amazon users could install Play Books if they wish.

I do not think a company should be forced to preinstall a competitor's app. Imagine your Google Pixel being required to have the Windows Store installed. Wouldn't that be irritating?

They stopped supporting it on Wii consoles also. Yeah old tech I guess but I still use one for Netflix, Amazon Prime, and until recently YouTube.

The point of crypto is making these figures irrelevant.
We have a few approaches to the disappearing data.

First, we are working with libraries, universities, or other groups with large amounts of storage/bandwidth. They'd help provide hosting for datasets used inside their institutes or other essential datasets.

Second, we started to work on at-home data hosting with Project Svalbard[1]. This is kind of a SETI@home idea where people could donate server space at home to help backup "unhealthy" data (data that doesn't have many peers).

Finally, for "published" data (such as data on Zenodo or Dataverse), we can use those sites as a permanent HTTP peer. So if no data is available over p2p sites then you can get it directly from the published source.

As others said, decentralization is an approach but not a solution. It gives you the flexibility to centralize or distribute data as necessary without being tied to a specific service. But we still need to solve the problem!

Nope.

Bitcoin's network is not scaling well.
My point is humans have self-interest, and that humans act rationally to satisfy that self-interest. Not that the self-interest is "rational".

An alcoholic who buys liquor is acting rationally according to his interest of getting drunk. Being an alcoholic may not be rational (to us). But I'd rather operate in an economic framework that doesn't judge the rationality of my interest, but that I have self interest and act rationally.
While DNS caches can sometimes impact DNS updates, we rebuild the entire zone file when a DNS value is updated, and purge the previous cache. Even for customers, this should happen pretty quickly. We maintain a 5 minute TTL on all proxied records internally. So, this happens much faster than most other DNS services.
Which, no offense to our government, is just stupid. I'm much more concerned about ID theft than I am about terrorism, which is the supposed motivation for the know your customer stuff.
Sure but you'd wanna duct tape the phone to the camera so you don't have to hold two devices simultaneously. I can see the merits of putting android in the actual camera.
I believe split prisms work best at fast apertures. With the movement towards lower cost DSLR's and lenses, typical apertures are slowing down. Your typical Rebel might never see glass f/2.8 or faster.

High end cameras like the 1D and 5D series have always had better focusing screens and several different replacement options available.
My comment was about them asserting there should be 100x the video content. Why should there be? It's a pretty horrible way to share information, in all but a few situations.
If I'm going to assume that by "node.js" code, you actually mean JavaScript code running within the V8 engine as a part of the whole that is Node.JS, then: The answer is no, you cannot do that using pure JS and without using (external) stuff like WebWorkers.

If you are talking more generally about anything we can run within Node.JS, is using Node.JS user-facing APIs and works without doing any modifications to Node.JS, the answer is yes. You can easily achieve that with node's native module support, and I would encourage you to do so over committing the folly of doing anything CPU intensive in JS.

That is if you manage to find any CPU intensive task that isn't already handled by node built-ins or some library out there.

Edit:

Now you may say: "Ahah! You can't use threads using [limited usage of node]. Also threads must be usable for arbitrary workloads in order to consider a thing multi-threaded. Node.js is single-threaded!"

I just can't argue with that. It's just a matter of opinions now about what makes a thing/environment single-threaded, and what makes it multi-threaded.

To me it's simple: [x] Thing uses multiple threads to perform work.
"JSON" in SQL server is a set of functions layered on top of NVARCHAR(*) columns, so - about where PostgreSQL was when they first introduced the 'json' data-type.

Can't say I've investigated the geometry types, but at a glance they're functional (if uglier to work with).

> ...and for many of those I'd need to read the manual to find out what they even do (Fn? Lv?) and I struggle to find any reason I'd need to twiddle with, say, the image compression (QUAL) so urgently that it needs a dedicated shortcut button.

Right! Physical buttons and dials are great, but after a certain point adding new ones isn't an improvement to the interface anymore. Too many of them makes the interface overly complex and more prone to accidental adjustment. `QUAL` is a perfect example of something that belongs in a menu.

> But in practice, 95% of users aren't using 95% of these adjusters 95% of the time.

Not a snark: maybe 95% of users didn't need a semi-pro DSLR and should have gone with a smartphone or a point-and-shoot instead? The remaining 5% need those knobs and controls, and would be left with a less useful camera if they were removed or simplified.
They made sense to me. Practically, it would be easy for camera makers to add these features on their pro bodies as they're not intended to be appealing to amateurs/casual shooters.

>Sure, this might not pass the "smack the lens and there shouldn't be a single iota of movement test", but that's a very narrow use-case,

That is a mainstream usecase for pretty much every single professional! A more secure interface between the plate and body would mean the tripod and body are better integrated and would allow for improved vibration reduction IMHO.

>as opposed to not having to spend hundreds of dollars on a more expensive camera whose manufacturer invested hundreds of thousands of man-hours to develop and test.

Okay but the cost of the kit is not a big concern if you're making money with it. I wouldn't think twice about sticking in 32 gigs of RAM or a thousand dollar CPU on my dev box either because I would make that back very quickly.

>I don't like the Bluetooth idea for a few reasons. One, you have to toggle it on and off if you want to conserve camera battery.

Bluetooth LE devices can have upto a year of battery life !

>Two, you have to have a Bluetooth enabled device capable of controlling the camera (read, smartphone) which introduces a potential failure point because now you have to make sure you have two things charged (your phone and your camera) because remote batteries can last for years.

Why does it have to be a smartphone?

>To me, the innovation in the camera market has been phenomenal. The speed at which cameras can autofocus and burst shoot, as well as the battery life have all improved while the prices have continued to drop.

Yes, this has been amazing. Pretty much any basic DSLR can take great pictures. And having a common mount across the basic/pro bodies unlocks this huge library of lenses (which make more of a difference w.r.t IQ anyway).

Even better, they should've started selling smartphone camera components to smartphone makers 5 years ago. Ride the disruptive innovation and all that, instead of fighting it (and now losing).

To be honest, I don't know if putting Android on DSLRs would've helped that much. Samsung tried a bit of that, too, and it didn't really work. Panasonic did, too. Eventually the smartphones just ate them up, from the bottom up. It's what disruptive innovations typically do. Incumbents usually can't win by slapping parts of the disruptive tech onto their older incumbent tech and call it a day. That doesn't seem to work usually.

So DSLRs makers becoming lens, sensor, ISP, etc makers for the smartphone industry would've probably been a more successful approach. But they were too afraid of "cannibalizing themselves". But what disrupted incumbents who fear cannibalization always seem to miss is that the cannibalization will happen whether they do it or not. Staying out of the market won't help them that much in the long term.
