Leica Q is a really nice camera that compromises between ease of use and high quality optics. No need to bring Apple into the mix. I’ve owned many M series bodies and lenses but I still use the Q the most often.
Are you implying people wouldn't jump to SteamOS if it met the needs of gamers? If 95% of Steam games ran on it that would be a huge thing. Lots of people don't want to run Windows 10 because of privacy issues (maybe not a huge number, but it's likely a larger portion of gaming enthusiasts fit into that group than the population at large). And is there a better value proposition than free? If it meets your needs and costs nothing, why would you pay for an equivalent product?

> why should people's social lives be built outside work?

It's not a rule I always live by, but there are some pretty good reasons.

The kind of social interaction among members that often benefits a business - focused on productivity and with confrontation designed to limit liability and risk - makes for a boring way to interact with people. Additionally, a person too heavily reliant on work for social ties is going to be somewhat vulnerable in the modern workplace where jobs aren't designed to last.

> A workplace is the social setting in which most of us spend most time, seems like a waste to limit those bonds.

IMO it's a mistake to devalue the secondary relationships in our lives - neighbors, coworkers, acquaintances - as being inferior or wasted if they cannot be converted to something more permanent or intimate. Good neighbors and pleasant coworkers are a pretty great thing, even if they're kept at arms length.

I would have said the same thing if I had never used MSSQL.

PG just doesn't have the same quality SQL-dialect or tools as MSSQL though. Some very basic facilities are missing from PG like snapshot and transaction logs, batched triggers and being able to return multiple resultsets from a single trip to the database server.

Even the free tools for SQL Server are better than anything you can get for PG and there's nothing like SQL Server Data Tools.

But if you're going to spend a bunch of money on a gaming rig, because you're that kind of gamer as opposed to someone who just casually sometimes plays some games when they work, then it seems incredibly silly to jump through the hoops of wine and VMs with GPU passthrough and still not be able to play everything.
I think it would be better. Open layouts encourage antisocial behavior.
Yeah, that was why I mentioned that it may not be a viable option for them.

I'm not sure the answer is in one license over another, nor in one OS over another. I'm not sure it is, realistically, solved by any one company being 'good' or 'evil.'

I think the most realistic hope for the future is open standards being used and people opting to support them. If we get rid of proprietary standards, we can more easily have alternative software to do the same work.

As far as Microsoft goes, I do not really expect them to be good or evil. I expect them to do things that increase their profitability. I recognize that their goals don't always align with my best interests, so I generally avoid them.

At the same time, I'm grateful that they exist as an option. I do use a Windows phone, but that's because it suits my needs better than the alternatives. So, I don't dislike Microsoft, I just avoid them most of the time.

I don't think they are as bad as they used to be. They seem to have come to grips with open source and have made some steps in the right direction. VSCode is pretty nice to work with and they have a Shared Source Initiative program that many don't know about, which is another example.

Anyhow, I think using open standards and enforcing it by demanding support in the products we buy is probably our best chance at changing the industry. Our applications output something. There's no realistic reason, that I can think of, for that something to not conform to open standards. Then, we can select vendors of our choice, licenses of our choice, or create our own, by ourselves or through paying someone.

I will note that it is understandable but sad that more companies aren't willing to write their own software. I see that as related to the problem. They'd prefer to use COTS software. Yeah, it's less expensive and does sometimes make sense, but if they wrote it themselves they could more easily port it to various operating systems and architecture. Ideally, those OSes and architecture would conform to open standards and make it even easier as time progresses.

I'm not sure if we will reach that point, but it'd be nicer - I think.
Banks were supposed to be stable and boring. The quest for 'financial innovation' in the heady 80s accompanied by rocketing bonuses and compensation has led to highly unstable economies with risk and reward mixed up with government intervention, too big to fail, regulatory capture and lobbying and now basically stand isolated.

During the asian financial crisis the IMF and WB were gung ho about free markets, austerity and enforcing failure without exception but as soon as it hit western economies the whole field of economics changed with words like 'too big to fail' and 'systemic risk' entering the economic vocabulary.

How does one explain oil being at $40 and $140 with supply and demand and free markets. There is a lot more going on that is often hidden behind jargon that obfuscates than informs.

>"Why? Simply put: the video streaming market is screwed up. While there's a lot of money spent on video, there are only really about 1,000 customers that do any meaningful level of streaming."

So the statement that "the video streaming market is screwed up" is based on the fact that Cloudflare themselves only have 1K customers doing a meaningful level of streaming?

You might want to talk to Akami, Amazon, Edgecast and Fastly. I'm sure they will tell you the video streaming market is quite healthy.

The value of Youtube is the network of content consumers and producers that use it. The danger of Youtube is it's total monopoly on video discovery.

A system like this will make it easier to create Youtube competitors, so when youtube screws over a part of their producers / consumers they have somewhere viable to turn to.

Right, but they're not mutually exclusive, so how they compare relatively is irrelevant.

There are countless laws, regulations, and policies dictating how one is to act in the workplace: you must dress this way, you must use only approved language (no swearing), you must not speak on controversial topics, you must not offend anyone.

Every social situation has its rules with which one must comply. The workplace may be more restricted than one's home or a bar, but hell, even in totalitarian states with political polices people managed to have friends.

If one is in a particularly bad workplace, or have difficulty reading its social context, sure - it's better to keep one's head down and be merely polite. But as a rule, seems quite excessive.

Their business line is what I was referring to. I've never worked with their consumer line.

Every generation has some variety of stupid power management issue. Their 2014 & 2015 model ThinkPad Yoga both had a problem where there was some fault with the system board that frequently caused the trackpad to stop working after sleep/wake. Fix was to replace the system board. The 2014-2017 models have all had sleep/wake bugs that involved a driver and/or BIOS updates to resolve later (often not completely). It doesn't help either that they regularly leave critical drivers out of their SCCM packages.

> Another thing that has been attempted is a stdlib for Rust that uses syscalls into the kernel much like Go's.

With Rust, it's easier just to replace the C library! In particular, cross-compiling with a static musl-libc has been supported out of the box with for a while now. For pure Rust programs (or ones with small amounts of C handled by cargo), just write:

cargo build --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl

This will produce a 100% static binary that relies on nothing except the kernel.

For programs which require external C libraries, it's a bit trickier, because you need a static version of those libraries built against musl-libc. For common libraries like OpenSSL and libpq, I have a Docker container that makes this easier: https://github.com/emk/rust-musl-builder
so is your apprehension because of sql server on linux, or because of docker, or because of the combination of the two? this post is snarky but lacks real information.

If he'd stuck to the fact that standing for the anthem is a choice and that it's not correct to discriminate on that it'd been a better article, but he went on an unexplained tangent whether or not police shootings are increasing without a larger point being spelled out.

The larger point that is made to me is that not standing in order to protest police brutality is only acceptable if police brutality is actually a problem and not just one which is getting more press coverage.

If I wanted to create an alternative to YouTube with a conservative bent what are the chances Cloudflare will wake up one morning and shut me down?

What if the content is just generally in "bad taste" and not overtly Neo-Nazi, will CF feel the need to play "Content Cop" or are they willing to abide by their role as utility?
Yah, you can ask questions, I might just have to give evasive answers ;). This tech report itself isn't embargoed or I wouldn't have posted it. The pre-publication issue is the scope of what I could cover in this tech report was relatively narrow.
So, will Cloudflare have the same kind of DMCA and/or ContentID controls that YouTube has? How will they police the content they stream for their clients/partners?

I know a few online businesses that don't use YouTube because they operate in a grey area in terms of fair use on videos (videogame footage) and they don't want to build their video business on YT because of their "trust the claimant over the content producer" and 3-strikes approach to DMCA claims.

Obviously if customers are paying Cloudflare to host their videos, I would assume the dispute process would be less one-sided, but have they said anything about this yet?
The whole field of behavioral economics [1] examines this question. It sees human rationality as sharply bounded [2] with an enormous set of cognitive biases. [3] The field is seen as a direct challenge to the notion of humans as rational actors.

If you want examples, they are legion. Addicts, for example, clearly don't act in their own rational self interest. Whether it's substances (e.g., alcohol and other drugs) or experiences (like gambling and gaming), whole industries are built around exploiting people's inability to act in their self interest.

Another example is advertising. In economic theory, advertising and PR are about informing people, giving them new facts. But when you look at actual advertising, it's about giving them new feelings, about manipulating their decidedly non-rational behavior.

And there are plenty more. If you look the kinds of things consumer protection agencies get up to, you'll find plenty of examples.

What is the biggest difference between C syntax and Rust syntax? I can only really think of how types are stated: in C they precede the variable, whereas in Rust you put a colon and then the type (but often you don't need to do this cuz of type inference).

This change is much better IMO because there's a clear delineation between types and variables.

The same idea applies to function signatures, which are much clearer to me in Rust than in C/C++.

> Free software extends that further to have freedom to run modified code on the same device[0]

That is not true. You're talking of GPL version 3, but that does not extend to all Free Software licenses and is not included in the Free Software definition.

For example GPLv2 does NOT require devices to allow you to run modified code, having no anti-tivoization clause. Are you saying that GPLv2, which was created by the FSF and is used by such prominent projects as the Linux kernel, is not Free Software?

Stop speaking nonsense.

> Cover your sneeze. Cover your cough. Stay home when sick. These are kindergarten-level cultural learnings.

A friend/colleague of mine is suffering from Chronic sinusitis and she usually sneezes every morning for around 20-30 times (random number, I know!) over period of few hours. The 'sneezing fit' is 100% of the time non-contagious yet loud and 'full with watery substance', She covers her sneezing most of the time however it is not always possible to react in time.

Also, she's a single working mother raising two well mannered and cute children. Would you expect her to always stay home when she's always 'sick'?

These kindergarten-level cultural learnings you are talking about are societal pressure, we inhale pollutants, pollens and smoke from cigarettes all the time!

We use SQL Server for our product running on AWS and we tested it with the Linux edition and it works fine.

But what’s the advantage of moving it over to Linux. It’s anyway sitting on a dedicated box and Windows Server hosting charges are only marginally more expensive than Linux on AWS(depending on the AZ you use).

So it’s cool and works well but there’s no compelling reason for us to move to it yet. At least not one that I could see

Cloudfront supports private content [1].

Its good to see video encoding/storage/delivery maturing; the more players in the space, the more options one has to choose from if a provider prefers to not host your content (whether that's because of a ToS violation, or because the company CEO just doesn't want to host your content). "Drop in" solutions give your provider a great deal of control over your fate, which is okay, until its not.

With Patreon raising a large round ($60MM) of financing [2], I'd expect them to build out their own streaming system based on S3, an encoding engine, and a CDN, versus be under the control of a turnkey provider (a la Reddit having to move off of Imgur).

No, to be clear, if you add up all the companies using all the CDNs you mention you only get to about 1,000 that are doing so at any meaningful and interesting scale. That's a shame. There should be 100x that. That's what we want to enable.
Maybe they HAVE thought of these things, and what you think consumers want in cameras is wrong? I disagree with almost everything you want for cameras and would consider them worse products if they implemented them. Not everything should be a shitty tap-screen mobile interface awash in whitespace and crappy icons. Physical controls are better, when you don’t have time or attention to fiddle with displays. That you don’t understand that is not a failure on the part of camera companies.
If you're constantly reinventing the wheel on the web then you're doing it wrong. Especially with the widespread adoption of package managers.

> I don't see why a messaging service like Signal cares about mutual friends.

Signal doesn't care; users care about mutual friends.

Here's an example:

- Alice installs Signal². She has many contacts, and doesn't know which contacts also use Signal². Notably, she doesn't want to give the Signal² servers all of her contacts.

- Alice asks Bob to install Signal². He does, and they trade key information (e.g. via SMS, email, NFC — whatever) and their phones use private set intersection to discover that they have Charlie, Diana & Ed in common. None of those guys has Signal² installed yet, so far as Alice or Bob know.

- Alice asks Charlie to install Signal². He does, they trade key information, and they see that they have Bob, Frank & Gene in common. Charlie gets (what Alice says is) Bob's public key, without contacting Bob directly.

- Charlie's phone contacts Bob's phone, and discovers that they have Alice in common; Charlie's phone validates that Bob's claim of Alice's key matches what he verified himself.

- Bob asks Diana to install Signal². She already has it, so all they need to do is exchange keys and discover mutual contacts. They both know Alice & Ed — and Diana is able to give Bob Ed's public key (it turns out that, unbeknownst to Alice or Bob, he's been using Signal² for months). Bob's phone can then share Ed's public key with Alice in another round of set intersection.

- Diana's phone can also share Ed's public key with Alice, now that she knows Alice's contact information. Alice's phone now has two different people attesting to Ed's public key; if they agree, that's good and if they disagree then her phone can give her a warning. She can contact Ed out-of-band if she chooses. This is an improvement on the current Signal protocol, since Alice has a chance to detect a malicious attestation without having to manually compare keys with Ed.

Note the user experience: as each user starts using Signal², his social network is used to share the contact information of his circles of friends. Users are incented to be truthful, since lying will be easily detected. The Signal² servers never see users' contacts; they don't even need to know users' real-world identities.

Just as in current Signal, each Signal² user is introduced to the program by a friend. Just as in the current Signal, users discover contacts who use Signal². Now, it's not identical: users won't see contacts who use Signal but have no mutual friends in common. This is indeed a cost — but it comes with the benefit of not needing to trust OWS.
