Web 3.0’s online marketplace is here – OpenBazaar 2.0 beta
Back when the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Bill was being circulated, to much outcry from technical folk, someone encrypted a file with a provocative name and sent it to the Home Secretary for exactly that reason, as a form of demonstation-cum-protest.

Suddenly the Minister[0] possessed a file which he couldn't decrypt on demand. Would he consider amending the Bill to remove penalties for such eventualities? Of course not, nothing was changed.

If you possess the bytes you'll do the time. Delete everything that is unnecessary as soon as its usefulness has expired - big corps learned that lesson, for other reasons, in the early 2000s.

It actually started out as a web app, but the web as a platform is unfortunately not at the point that it can be relied on for zero-knowledge encryption.

In short, the goal is to not have to trust the server, but if the server is delivering you javascript and html, there's no way to avoid trusting it.

Browser extensions are another problem--there's no way to block a browser extension that has been given page-level permissions from reading the DOM, so managing secrets in your browser means implicitly giving access to a lot of different third parties if you use extensions.

A blueprint for DevOps success:How Rosetta Stone implemented continuous delivery
There's a space between giving a shit and being passionate. I don't imagine one should be apathetic, but it probably shouldn't be your 'save the world, come hell or high water' project.

People passionate about an idea can make great employees. Someone giving direction should be a bit more objective. If you can be both objective and impassioned, you're in a small minority. Lots of people seem to think they can, but wait until they fall head over heels in love and see how objective they really can be.
I will make the assertion that jQuery is only useful for lightweight DOM manipulating. Any more complex than that, one would use a JS framework to implement the client experience. In this case, you would not want to jQuery.

So essentially we are talking about server side apps that still leverages jQuery to achieve some level of dynamicity on the front-end.
Good point. I didn't realize that many things in movies are CG now!

It now seems the high costs are more plausible, but then again - shouldn't the diminished need for sets offset that? Or is renting (or building) e.g. a prison yard so much cheaper than doing it in CG?

Who said anything about social media, and facebook likes, and advertising. Just stop. That isn't your product.

If your product is just a squarespace page... then that's the entire part of that step.

Do that, and then go talk to your customers. The rest of that is just procrastination, and frankly a waste of time and money at that stage... because there's no way you have product market fit that early, so why are you buying ads?
China might build their own products and I can see them building WhatsApp alternatives, but I won't install Chinese alternatives to WhatsApp on my phone, which means the Chinese won't be able to talk with me, an European, all the while I'm communicating without issues with acquaintances from all over Europe and the U.S.

This means that the Chinese are living in a bubble. This isn't news of course.

But the other issue is that they can't attract much foreign talent to relocate there, like Europe and the U.S. have historically done. Because they don't have a culture friendly to immigrants, but also because their environment is toxic for those of us that are accustomed to liberal democracies.

And their "copy machines" are actually racing against the clock, as more and more factories get fully automated and thus relocated home, not to mention their rising middle class, thus their cheap labor advantage will eventually go away. So when multinational companies will no longer assemble their products in China, what will they copy?

Of course, their middle class are now sending their children to western schools and many of them will probably go back to China, but on the other hand the best and brightest end up having the choice to stay in the west and many of them will.

> jQuery selectors were matched in native JS by `document.querySelector()` and `document.querySelectorAll()`

Funny how the first words of your statement are completely negated by the last half of your statement.

jQuery:

$(<any selector>).anyfunction

This will work regardless of the number of elements returned by the selector: 0, 1, or any number.

The so called matching `document.querySelector()` and `document.querySelectorAll()` cannot come even close to the ease of use of jQuery's selectors.

`document.querySelector` returns one element only. It will be the first element matched, even if you have more.

`document.querySelectorAll` returns a pseudo-array of elements (in reality a NodeList) that lacks most of functionality of arrays, and you cannot apply any DOM functions to it without iterating through the entire list.

jQuery came out in 2006. It took w3c several years after that to come up with something resembling jQuery's selection function. 11 years later there's still not a single method in the entire DOM API that comes even close to jQuery's simplicity and expressiveness.
If man pages were up to date, this should be the index of chapter 2. I have discover unix with sun in the 90s and I am very nostalgic of the quality of man pages. At that time, man pages were complete and up to date. My latest frustration was with the option -m of df command. Chapter 2 should be updated each time a new version of kernel is installed.
This is using a beta of High Sierra from July. I'm very curious to know what the speeds are now, when High Sierra is officially out.

Also, it appears that this test was all done on that High Sierra beta - I think it would be helpful to have HFS+ numbers from Sierra (the predecessor of High Sierra). But I am very happy that this article really discusses how encryption can detract from speed. I have my mac's internal drive encrypted, and I'm always interested to see if updates will slow that encryption down or not
Cities like Seattle get municipal tax dollars from companies like Amazon whose business disrupts small towns across the US. States receive the sales tax but there's no compensation for the larger disruption effects.
The story of Detroit is far more complicated than what you describe, especially when you choose to gloss over decades of racist violence and humiliation that preceded its collapse.

And its economic collapse was also the product of broader right-wing attack on the political/economic power of working class people in the US. Under the guise of “free trade,” they were forced to compete with labor of poorer countries, while the wealthy and their administrators were largely exempt from the same pressures.
The "PopSci" crowd is getting tiresome. Kaku and DeGrasse are modern day clerics for a new age religion.

The European Union is not new. Confederations of autonomous states have existed under the "Articles of Confederation", under the "Holy Roman Empire", and under a thousand other names. What these all have in common is the urge to federalize. Or, to use a different term, nationalize, which seems to be the boogey man in Kaku's political universe. The EU will centralize more and more authority. This will make it no more and no less a "type 1 government".
> Uber is a black cab operator

FWIW, Uber is not a Hackney carriage (black cab) operator (regulated since 1654). Only these are allowed to ply the streets for hire, and drivers have to pass "The Knowledge".

Uber operates as a minicab operator.

Alternative:

Innovation happens within the context of Chinas censorship and political regime. Blocking of entrenched western competitors allows home grown solutions to spring up, and local technological know how to develop faster.

Capitalism and innovation turn out to work within the context of an illiberal society just fine. Especially as China avoids the mistake of closing itself off to the rest of the world, but stays integrated in the markets, as well as the academic exchanges.

The Chinese government doesn't stop high tech investment, but only blocks a few select companies that have products that are, at their core, easy to replicate (WhatsApp, Facebook, to a lesser degree Google) at a sufficient level of quality.

Rather than free markets pushing towards a more liberal politics, the Chinese government develops means to make the market optimize for political obedience [1].

Most people individually will consider themselves "free enough", and not care about politics as long as the country is well managed. Nothing stops you from starting to research or trying to build self-driving cars in China [2]. China will continue to manage to hire western talent for its firms [3] until whatever skill gap still exists is filled.

Didn't realize how much this is true until I saw the video 'lfowles posted. That's a good point.
Uber is not having license, which is a big punishment I would say, is fine on top also needed? Concealment of a crime and failure to report one are two different things with two different punishments. And while I believe companies crimes should be personalized to managers who lead employees to commit them, where such thing can be proven, jail time for this one would be probably too much of a punishment.

We dont need to jail for everything, really. It is expensive and ineffective overall.

I've thought a lot about this and honestly I'm curious if this would even be an advantage. Currently I can pull in jQuery from a CDN and it is likely used by many other sites. If I have a custom version of jQuery, now it is guaranteed to need to be loaded. Is it truly a win?
I have a theory that budget for (SF+Fantasy) at any given studio is limited. And Game of Thrones has gotten other studios to invest heavily in Fantasy, leaving very little for SF. (Might dig into "running count" of shows with genre filters on IMDB datasets for verification)

The only good TV content I've seen recently is Expanse, which is quite well done. As others have mentioned, this is only limited to TV. SF Books/Movies are still popular enough .
On the other hand, the West seems to take Copywright and Patents much more seriously, which also dampens creativity a lot.

(The chilling effects from software patents alone seem to be very large)

I wonder how the effects compare.
> The amount of Chinese students that are publishing...

That's the thing. These are mostly overseas Chinese working for US/European companies who have no desire to return to China. Talk to any of them, and they're always concerned about the status of their visa and are ecstatic when they become a citizen of a democracy.

> China isn't 'Closing up' they are pushing people to use the services

Tencent and Baidu are used by tiny tiny tiny portions of westerners

> Unless the US, Canada, France, Israel etc... closes the visa program

There's no need, these Chinese students are staying and not returning to China.

By the way, since you think China is doing such a good job of education: remember that Rural households have a per capita income of only 9,892 yuan – about $4 dollars a day. and there's 680 million of these rural households still.

"Surveys by Rozelle's team have found that more than half of eighth graders in poor rural areas in China have IQs below 90, leaving them struggling to keep up with the fast-paced official curriculum"

So all those things are great, I don't see how any of them will solve the employment problem plaguing most of the country, either directly or indirectly.

The closest thing you listed is pushing people to college degrees. Once they get their degree, they'd have to move to a prosperous city to get employment. The non-prosperous city hasn't improved at all.

So I think what you aren't understanding about the problem, is that in all these non-prosperous towns, there are few jobs and most of them pay shit. They had jobs, but they all left. The problem is to get the jobs back.

What have the Dems done to get the jobs back? Again, I'm not saying the GOP has done anything either, but see my issue? Nothing is being done by either party, and that's a huge issue affecting millions of families. I mean it's not even really discussed. Warren is the only one even on the trail of some solutions, but she is an outsider (by her own admission).

I mean if you go to these areas, it's the Great Depression. The towns are all boarded up and the people are hurting and have been for 4 decades. It's a huge failure of government that this is happening, and has been happening for so long.
I feel this advantage should also extend to states like New York then? This map at least seems to show that it can’t be the only factor?

"their power at the cost of China's innovation and future growth"

Partly.

The exception is that the Chinese are pretty good at this stuff, and that 'blocking foreign companies' simply let's local companies dominate.

'SnapChat' and 'What's App' are no innovation. For the most part.

They are mostly just 'chat apps'. That's it.

Ok, Snapchat does a 'really good job' at the 'visual storytelling part'. But China does not need that cutting-edge level of social interaction for a few years until someone copies it well.

They'll do fine.

China is actually big enough - and their techies are talented/aggressive enough - that they can get away with a lot of these shenanigans.

You obviously have a good point though.
Sounds like fun! I know the Mapillary folks from interviewing with them. I think it'd just be a matter of me paying for the spot instances for the compute time. I'm going to ask!
Try making a change to the /usr filesystem, for example. It's very hard in recent versions of macOS. It sounds like this type of thing is going to be harder in the future, and that's what the GP is talking about, I believe.
In the modern sense of the term, they did not. 300 years ago, almost everyone alive would be considered catastrophically poor by modern standards, and even the elites would be considered to have some serious gaps in their wealth.

This is relevant because one of the perennial questions of history has been "Why didn't high tech civilization arise centuries or millenia earlier?", and governance issues like this are at least one of the defensible answers. Though not the only one by any means.
Naomi Wu's comment on China's surveillance: "That's basically the social contract. Someone grabs your purse, you go to the police station, they show you the video, usually catch them. ...

I think censorship is only part of the reason. Protectionism and national security probably plays a role aswell. Look at the list of websites they block:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Websites_blocked_in_mainland...

Google, facebook, instagram, twitter etc. Those are one-way streets that provide next to no jobs, little tech transfer and no tax revenue to the countries they do business in, but tend to outcompete the local rivals if left to it, and are proven to provide a convenient surveillance platform for American intelligence.

It's surprising that any country would allow that to continue unchecked. The Chinese solution is certainly not great but I doubt the US would allow Chinese companies to keep a daily log on the activities of most US citizens and businesses. Or to replace entire industries like advertising without providing jobs or taxes in return.

I don't know of anything using TSX, AMD doesn't have an equivalent in Ryzen even, I wouldn't bet on Zen 2 having it either. If you have a new enough Intel CPU, OpenCL on an Iris GPU is better than or as good as AVX/2/3 by far.

VT-d not being in every processor is Intel's fault for using binning to gouge consumers. Though everyone doesn't need VMs or containers.

I don't.

I don't want my desktop to feel adventurous, not even half-adventurous. I want it to be an efficient tool for getting the job done.

Please, desktop OS-manufacturers, resist the lure of adventuring new bells and whistles, and invest that time optimising, smoothing corners and making everything more efficient.
Assuming parents even have adequate information to make good choices, this seems like a surefire way to create wildly unbalanced classes. Giving difficult students to a bad teacher doesn't "punish" the bad teacher - it just creates a dysfunctional learning environment for the students who need it most.

I would seriously question the ethical resolve of my kid's school if they used such a system.
It isn't a dichotomy, but since I don't abide by self-loathing I'd rather see criminals arrested (without forfeiting privacy, since it's not needed in most cases)
I can assure you that the children living in these communities didn't. I'd even be willing to bet that a good chunk of the policies keeping these places behind were inked and dried before their parents could vote.

Common applications like the Finder and the Dock query the filesystem when you open a context menu, among many other things that don't intuitively seem to be filesystem-dependent.

But then there are applications which have a reasonable excuse to be hitting the filesystem, like iTunes or Photos or Mail. They absolutely redline the filesystem on a regular basis. The basic speed of the flash storage in a MacBook Pro frequently masks these problems, but the filesystem works against it.
