"They used a computer program to sort through and analyze more than 4,500 different alloy and nanoparticle combinations to see which ones had atomic structures that would fit together best. The idea was that the grains of metal would glom onto the tiny nanoparticles, sort of like a water vapor droplet that nucleates around a particle of dust to create a drop of rain.
They found that a nanoparticle made of hydrogen-stabilized zirconium would work best with two different kinds of aluminum alloys."

Did it though? Sure, the base protocol (TCP/IP) has mostly been unchanged up until IPv6, but the early implementations had plenty of bugs and limitations. And the goals solved were less clear back then as well, especially when BBS etc somewhat directly solved the problem of "get some data from another party without leaving your house" quite simply. Remember, there was once a time where there was no standardized image format on the internet. Hence, why Gopher was a contender to replace HTTP. It really took until the late 90s that most people realized how much it could be used for.. and it took until the late 2000s before most of those radical uses could be realized into something practical (ie, online shopping once seemed like a strange thing you'd only want for niche items... but now Amazon exists).

And beyond that, when the internet first became a real thing outside of researchers, it required pretty intimate knowledge of the technology to properly connect to it and get it to work. Remember that operating systems use to not include a TCP/IP stack for instance. It would be a long complicated process to get your computer to actually connect to the internet... but now, in 2017, for the most part all you do is say "connect to <accesspoint> with password XXXX" and it magically works. Right now I think this is parallel to blockchains. It takes a lot of technical knowledge to really use smart contracts and blockchain tech right now, but I imagine a future where it is no more difficult than logging into your bank account, or writing an Excel macro.

I’ve been thinking for a while what would happen and how much money Hollywood could make if they charged $1 for a 1080p film and $2 for 4k, no DRM, just a file download.

I think I’d probably spend a hundred dollars or more straight away if all films were there I loved. I think a lot of people would pay a small amount for each film too. Blurays at $20 is too much and I’ve no interest in physical copies.
I wonder if this will do anything to encourage a more decentralized web?
There is a very simple question here. How much cheaper is this lower quality food?

I think no-one disputes that the food is lower quality. The question is how much of a discount this gets, and why stores haven't created more expensive better quality options.

I recall an item on Dutch news that seemed to state that Romanians wanted the same products as Austria at a lower price. This is unlikely to be accurate reporting, because that stance is obviously unreasonable.
That is presuming the desired price differential isn't just reflective of the cost savings by potentially having lower payed employees.

Correct. You can only get in trouble under antitrust laws if you're a big fish in the "relevant market". Defining this term is generally where all the fighting centers, because it makes or breaks the case. And in the case of Uber, they would argue that cabs are part of the same market. Including cabs (and not just Lyft) would make the market big enough that Uber would not be considered to have monopoly power. (Even with just Lyft, this is probably also the case.)

I don't think you'll find many Romanians that'd like to leave the EU. Even simply due to the net money flow from the EU into Romania.
There are also some philosophical issues that add to the hype.

- BTC or some other cryptocurrency as taking over local currencies in long term. There is such things as optimal currency region. Global single currency would not work well.

- Money as good long term store of value. That's hoarders dream, but it would be harmful for economy as a whole. It's the idea that you work hour in 2017, store the value as a money and take that hour out 2027 and it's value has retained value or increased while the work done in 2017 is less valuable than work done in 2027 due to productivity increases. This kind of imbalance leads to deflationary spiral.
You could also pivot into something else. Here’s why: you’re not even at $1M ARR despite seeming to have a compelling business and early traction. It’s not “hard” to get there, which means investors see many companies there and beyond for seed. If this sale locks you up for a few years that’s a huge opportunity cost. I can tell you that I’ve personally witnessed major value changes in less time. I don’t regret saying no to local maximum acquisitions (~20M) in the early days because 1) I didn’t do this just to sell 2) I was confident we could be much more valuable, I just didn’t know what was possible. I was righh!

Though if you’re a sole shareholder or own a significant chunk of the company, $14M really is a lot. There’s a post out there showing how, for example, Arrington made more than Huffington on their respective sales despite Huffington Post selling for way more. Something to think about...

Finally, you’re in the drivers seat when it comes to customers. Something not scaling? Refuse to do it. You’d be surprised what wiggle room you can get when the buyer is motivated.

I have no doubt smokers don't know how they smell, I think either they can't smell it or their brain filters it out. That has to be the case because sometimes I'm in an elevator with someone who was just smoking and I'm standing there trying not to gag while obviously they're fine. For some reason they smell worse in cold weather.

I'm Portuguese too. Maybe a bit older than you because many years ago I thought the same way as you until I lived in other lands.

I've lived across the US, West Europe, East Europe, UK and even Switzerland just to find them far more xenophobic than what I would ever imagine.

And with some more years you might realize that the large majority of nations are indeed that way.

Then going back to Portugal and looking at history, you might find that existed a long time effort for integration of different people in a very different way than say, the British empire.

So, we're not xenophobic. You likely didn't had to live through the epidemic of drug in 2000 and watch the majority of your friends getting hooked. It was sad, there was no hope. Portugal just legalized those drugs because everyone had lost someone to them and nothing else tried before had worked.

Even today in my own family, two of my younger brothers never fully recovered. They don't consume any more drugs since a decade and still it has permanently affected their brain capacity, one of them is still inside an hospital.
The author mentioned that using a control scheme with small acceleration leads to better synchronizing with the server. Another approach to this is control schemes where the client indicates to the server "I'm planning on being at this location at this future time."
I think the more problematic thing is that the corporations effectively lie - Milka, Nutella, etc. will have the exact same packaging but notably different contents. I doubt it would be such a huge issue if the brands would differ, but effectively saying "eh, those eastern europeans don't deserve the same amount of chocolate in their Milka!" doesn't stand well with a lot of people.

> There is a very simple question here. How much cheaper is this lower quality food?

The article states that at least in some cases the inferior food is _more expensive_.

From the article: Nobody has an appetite for inferior food – and the solution is, most of the time, “add more sugar”. If you add to this the fact that food is generally more expensive in Romania [...]
I think you missed the part which talks about people actually crossing borders to shop the more expensive versions of products.

I remember this happening regularly in the 1990s when people from ex-Yugoslavia drove over to Italy/Austria to shop for better quality (although more expensive) products.
I doubt this would help, it seems fairly unlikely that whoever answers the phone would be interested in playing logic puzzles.
I don't even try to make it sound legitimate. e.g. How many sisters do you have? Anyone guessing will be trying a number between 0 and 5. I use a semi-random word, colour or car I associate with my sister(s), eg. Audi. When asked for a number no one guessing will respond with a car make.
I had to come up with a solution to back up my Lightroom catalogs and raw archive hard drives. I dump an image of each and upload it to s3 and gdrive. Pretty manual, but I do it once per year or so.

I am not. I am weighing features vs unintended harm. Yes, the airlines shouldn't be including this data in the barcodes. It is improper to expose end users to this liability. And simply telling them not to expose them isn't a solution.

But if FB can detect harmful barcodes in an image, by all means they should remove the photo.

The antibiotics example is one type where I admit some kind of regulation (aside from competency) might be in order. I.e., where tragedy of the commons-type scenarios arise.

Still, even in that case, I think you might be better off regulating at the point of sale by pharmacists, kind of akin to pseudoephedrine. I also think situation isn't quite as clear cut as it seems on the surface, in that currently antibiotics are overprescribed anyway, suggesting that our current regulatory regime isn't really working in those cases well either. In any event, my sense of the antibiotics literature is that a, if not the, major contributor to environmental antibiotic resistance is agricultural in nature.
From the actual law:

"1. Unlimited liability applies. The standard of unlimited liability applies if unauthorized transfers appear on a periodic statement, and may apply in conjunction with the first two tiers of liability. If a periodic statement shows an unauthorized transfer made with a lost or stolen debit card, the consumer must notify the financial institution within 60 calendar days after the periodic statement was sent; otherwise, the consumer faces unlimited liability for all unauthorized transfers made after the 60-day period. The consumer's liability for unauthorized transfers before the statement is sent, and up to 60 days following, is determined based on the first two tiers of liability: up to $50 if the consumer notifies the financial institution within two business days of learning of the loss or theft of the card and up to $500 if the consumer notifies the institution after two business days of learning of the loss or theft."

I'm pretty sure you're thinking about Winamp 3 or 5. Winamp 2, upon release (in 1998!) had no such feature IIRC. It didn't even have a "Library view" of all your MP3s, it only had a very rudimentary playlist.

The main thing about Winamp 2 was that it was fast. For example, the skins were just bitmaps (none of the crazy theming that Winamp3 enabled). The visualizations were delivered by a set of plugins -- all of which you could get rid of.

Free will is a tricky subject. It certainly feels like I can deliberate and come to a free choice, by abstracting decisions from my immediate and prior influences.

I have previously tried to come to terms with not having free will, and it left me feeling stripped of any agency / control, utterly depressed, demotivated, and incapable of doing anything. If there is no reason for my actions, other than the initial state of the universe evolving forward in time, then there is no point to anything. Most people can't live like that.

Could there be an alternative explanation, based on unknown physics; selecting between different permissible universes?

I heard an argument from Terence McKenna that I liked, along the lines of: You should choose to believe in free will, because it appears that we have it. If you choose to believe in it, and it doesn't exist, then you had no choice but to believe in it anyway.

My favourite example of this is from the Apollo command module. Margaret Hamilton (one of the programmers) had her daughter in the simulator and let her play around. She managed to crash the simulator by launching a certain programme midflight. Margaret wanted to stop this from being possible, but was overruled because astronauts don't make mistakes. Eventually one of the astronauts made that exact mistake during the Apollo 8 flight.

Is in 3.6, and other improvements will continue to be added. The one downside is that you have to grant the router proxies access to secrets, which means if someone compromises your edge ingress controller they can root your cluster unless you are very careful about only giving the routers access to exactly the secrets they need. That's partially why Routes contain their own secrets, so that you can't accidentally expose yourself to a cluster root.

This sort of stuff is the details the OpenShift team spends most of its time on. Kube will eventually get most of this. But most people are running single tenant Kube clusters and so in Kube we spend more time focusing on making that work just right. It's pretty difficult to build a fully multitenant Kube setup without making choices that we're just not ready to do in Kube yet.

Depends on how much do you trust browser extensions. From my knowledge every extension code can be inspected and read unless the code is obfuscated. The styles are written in CSS (only a few lines) and injected into the website. So you can quickly review it.

If you want to be extra cautious you could write your own extension to be safer, but I trust it good enough.
