Do you know other case where the TLD registar has been seized? Domains are blocked via ISP's, the publisher or the hosting.

Far more went into producing that logo than just using the rectangle tool in Photoshop.
I think that particular photo could go either way. Personally, I went from an iPhone 6 to a Pixel and then to the 7 plus, and I find the camera lacking in comparison to the pixel now. The front camera is fine, but the back camera on the Pixel was faster, sharper, and produced more vivid colors. Can't speak to the 8, but I personally found the test images not representative of the Pixel's quality in comparison to the other models listed.

The difference between 10 and 20 years ago is a bit of a stretch.

I won't argue with you on the first number. 10 years ago good photographers took beautiful images with the Canon 1Ds Mk III or the Nikon D300.

However, 20 years ago you were stuck with modified film bodies like the Kodak DCS520, shooting 2 megapixel images of questionable quality[0] for the bargain price of $15,000[1]

It is only fairly recently that any digital camera off the shelf is capable of producing "good" images with a good photographer, and we're now getting to the point where computational photography and incredible smartphone sensors will produce good images with a total novice at the helm. That's what makes this all so exciting.

In theory, yes, but WebAssembly current has put little effort on standardizing packaging and ABIs. That work is in progress here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/tool-conventions but is still very early. You'd then need each of these platform exposing a standard set of imports to WebAssembly binaries because from the compiler's perspective WebAssembly looks like an OS with a virtual ISA, so these embedder imports are kind of like an OS' syscalls. That's a lot of work, isn't very advanced yet, but in theory is all possible and WebAssembly was explicitly designed to make it possible.

And yes, State + State ID is a decent substitute for a national ID. Because it is a national ID. Except that some states will implement it in the shittiest way possible, and so we end up with even more of a lowest common denominator than if the states negotiated a standard.

And one could reasonably make the case that in this day and age, IDs fall under the Commerce Clause.

Here's the ugly truth: People are objecting to a national ID because it's an easy-to-parrot talking point. The rational objections are on thin ground. (Basically, the downsides are already existing anyways, we're just not getting the upsides. Because ideological purity. Yes, I mean you, ACLU)

> What, do you think, is key to on-boarding in crypto?

Convincing someone they need bitcoin.

I have no idea how to buy bitcoins. I guess I could find an exchange, or I could also go to the Bitcoin ATM at my local Thai place. (Seriously. No idea why.) But I apparently have to provide my driver's license to exchange cash into crypto-currency.

What? I'm not putting that into a random machine. That's insane. I don't have to provide identification when I'm exchanging Euros into Dollars at the airport, why do I have to send off all this valuable information to a random person through an ATM over a god-knows-what-kind of connection?

Great. I've just jumped through hoops, and for what? What am I supposed to buy with it that I can't buy with cash or credit? It seems to me that about the only thing I can do with it that's useful is move a large sum of money, relatively cheaply - and if I happened to buy the bitcoins from a guy in a parking garage, I might even be able to do it with something approaching anonymity - assuming I never, ever, ever make a mistake.

So how do you convince, say, my mother or my grandfather that they need bitcoin?

To start, the judiciary isn't part of the Spanish government, it's an independent branch like Congress. Like in most or all western countries. These actions have been taken by the order of Catalan judges.

If someone thinks the laws the judges are interpreting are unconstitutional, or against European treaties, they can denounce those laws against the Spanish Constitutional Court, or the appropriate European court.

If they think the interpretation is what's flawed, they can appeal and / or denounce the judges to the Spanish Supreme Court. If the argument would become that the judiciary is corrupt and owned by the Government, from the Barcelona courts all the way up to the Supreme Court; it should be remembered that the Spanish Supreme Court sentenced a Ministro del Interior (like Secretary of State, the de-facto most powerful position after the President) to 10 years in prison.

I agree it is not a good investment based on the cap rate, unless the rent will be rising quickly to much higher levels. But as Keynes has pointed out long ago, investment for most people is like the beauty pageant. "It is not a case of choosing those [faces] that, to the best of one's judgment, are really the prettiest, nor even those that average opinion genuinely thinks the prettiest. We have reached the third degree where we devote our intelligences to anticipating what average opinion expects the average opinion to be. And there are some, I believe, who practice the fourth, fifth and higher degrees." (Keynes, General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, 1936).

What I found interesting is that many bubbles have some rational elements otherwise they would not have formed in the first place. Take Beijing real estate: do apartments with convenient access to subways sell for a lot more? do apartments in districts with better ranked schools sell for a lot more? If yes you see people are still pricing utilities and the market is functioning at the micro level. It is just hard to pin down why the overall price level is so high:

- for most people who live in their own apartments, the price is quite irrelevant (they don't want to sell as they need a place to live);

- people who hold empty apartments probably subscribe to the "beauty contest" theory of investments (they may rationally think the price high but they couldn't think of a better way of investing);

- as far as the government is concerned the wealth redistribution caused by the high real estate price is in the right direction esp. when compared to a stock market bubble: high land auction price means more money to build infrastructure; high ownership ratio means older people who are less educated with lower income benefit more and while the young suffer they are more educated and can expect their income to rise rather quickly.

Despite the high real estate price Beijing population had been increasing rapidly (would have been even higher growth if not for government control in place). If China on a whole eventually stalls out at Taiwan's level (where Taipei suffers from similar real estate phenomenon) China would have succeeded beyond what most people expect.

It's easy enough in our lesser-of-two-evils system in the US to spend an hour (or less) before an election and nail down pretty well which is the lesser for each race on the ballot.

This assumes a general awareness and understanding of political, economic, and social topics that one might not have without having spent at least a few years "plugged in", though, so maybe only viable for oldsters.

Uh, no. The ACLU has many merits, but no, their ideas are not implicitly worth discussing. They're also the ones in favor of Illinois Nazis.

Yea i agree here. A lot of this is up to taste, but the way it captures the fabric, especially the translucency, is a HUGE leap from anything i've seen out of a phone. The way the light plays off of and through it is something i've only seen from my mirrorless setup.

I do not think the article is so biased. Puigdemont has totally ignored the law and used his position in power to organize a referendum without any kind of warranties with the only intention to provoke a police intervention from Madrid's government and thus increase the support to his cause.

If the real intention was to organize a referendum, it could have been done with preparation, lawfully and negotiated with other regional political forces who are also supporting it.

This is a super, super mature thing to do. VCs are trying to make multiples of their investments, so the higher the valuation, the bigger your company has to be in order for VCs to make their multiple. This means you have to optimize around growing as much as possible, which increases burn rate and can screw up your priorities. If you want to build a solid, long term profitable company, it gives you more flexibility to try different things and 'do it right' rather than focus entirely on growth.

This is a recurring theme with a lot of these types of large companies (Microfocus, CA, Compuware, BMC) they'd buy up companies with niche or larger products, and the products would wither and die. If not simply disappear. One of my long term side projects has been an editor for fixed length files that uses cobol copybook to map the files. A common use for this type of thing is editing/viewing ACH files. There was at least one of these for PC's, but disappeared into one of these companies a long time ago.

The Coding VC with Leo Polovets (Podcast)
A grounded understanding of media theory and media history is the best way to grasp good design.

This can be obtained by looking at the story of media back to the Gutenberg printing press. Look through historical documents, old magazines, brochures, etc. and ask "why did they do it this way?" This gives you a plethora of reasoning and inspiration that you can pull from and reapply throughout your career.

Web design is mutable and loose. Graphic design software is very distant from users and reason. Without grounded thought, your software will do muh of the design for you. The result will be inconsistent and inferior to design with classical uderstanding.

Look to western art history back to the Gutenberg printing press at least. Get more particular in the 20th century and hunker down on Bauhaus influence and mid-century advertising. Learn about Engelbart and hypertext theory and any associated interests of yours.

I find more and more that actual good designers know where their designs come from and reference that understanding in their application of them.

> Removing health insurance from employers is key, this will also help being able to change jobs more frequently and not contribute to ageism so much.

Agree. Unfortunately, there's zero political will to do this. Republicans seem to be hell-bent on destroying Obamacare as a concept, no matter the consequences, and view decreased number of sign-ups and decreased number of insurance sellers, as positive developments and proof that the system "doesn't work".

Democrats would surely welcome decoupling of employment and health insurance, right? Except ACA mandates employers with headcount 50+ offer health insurance, which robs the exchanges of a fairly healthy portion of the population that's fit enough to be in the workforce (prior to ACA mandatory health coverage applied to employers with 100+ headcount).

Some employers have run the numbers and figured out that if they paid the ACA fines and transferred the employee health coverage to a public exchange, their balance sheet would still be better off. Double win for a federal government - not only there's extra revenue in terms of fines (the money that previously went to a private insurer), the exchange gets bolstered with a significant number of new participants, which dilutes the risk pool and hopefully make everyone's coverage cheaper. Not so fast, said Obama administration, and slapped an extra fine to discourage such behavior https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/26/us/irs-bars-employers-fro...
