Isn't iOS a good example of my point? Steve Jobs tried the "just write web apps, we'll keep native to ourselves" line. It was rejected by developers.

I think users will happily assign some value to security if it's offered in a meaningful way. The virus-resistance of iPhones (and to a lesser extent Android) is definitely seen as a selling point by many people, mostly for the iPad.

A lot of developers think users don't care about security. I think what is happening is that users aren't being offered real security. Rather, developers say "can I spend X hours this week on security" but the value delivered as perceived by the boss or customer is often very unclear and is often seen as near-zero, because people don't really believe programmers can write secure software. Additionally, security is often seen as a bottomless pit into which you can empty money forever with no perceptible difference in the product. The cost is far, far too high, and the likelyhood of being "secure" in the end is far, far too low.

If a platform gains a reputation for security though, as iOS has done, then people will start to trust that programmers actually mean it when they say "we can make this secure" and users will start to care more.

I think it would be a worthy goal to attack only that portion, while leaving out all the rest of your proposal.

It can't be done. Otherwise I'd have made such a proposal. The web is so deeply flawed, security wise, nearly nothing can be preserved. It all has to be reset.

For instance, switching to binary for the HTTP headers is already done in HTTP/2, but that hasn't had any noticeable impact on the rate of security vulnerabilities in web apps. It helps a bit: perhaps HTTP/2 is invulnerable to header splitting attacks (I'd hope so!). But the rest of the stack is still seriously flawed and that's where the bulk of the attacks are.

Honestly I'm on board with joining all coordinate and subordinate clauses with punctuation all the time and calling it a day. In any other context, such apparently random deviations to the rules would not be celebrated. (Apparently random, because any actual reason is historic, likely unknown, and potentially not even relevant to modern writers.)
How would you do this on an Android emulator?

I'm guilty of not testing this sort of thing thoroughly.
You can also find more information about Envoy on the Istio home page. Istio basically packages up Envoy for Kubernetes and Docker Swarm, and helps with the management of it.

The Istio home page probably does a better job of explaining "why?" than the envoy home page; the envoy home page is better at explaining "what?".

> It's not wrong having "emotions" and displaying them

I agree, it's not wrong, which is why we sympathize with emotional displays in children, the mentally disabled, and people who have suffered great loss. Those responses are involuntary, or nearly so.

The problem is that emotions will lie. As someone who has fought battles with depression, irrational exuberance and other unbalanced states, looking back at how I misinterpreted reality and acted on false certainty is embarrassing.

As I've gotten older, I have strengthened an invisible muscle which allows me to clamp down on my involuntary responses so I can evaluate them more rationally before choosing whether to embrace or extinguish them. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the time to make progress with this, and I am always happy to see others do the same.

When you bottle up a feeling that you later realize to have been based on falsehood, it doesn't hurt your psyche any longer. It just fades away, with only a glimmer of gratitude left behind that you didn't make a foolish choice because of it.
You're right that Apple services don't integrate as nicely across non-Apple platforms. (Isn't that true of many things?)

However, to dismiss it as a marketing scheme is somewhat disingenuous. It may achieve that, but there are plenty of people out there who simply think they make the nicest hardware. The tight integration is icing on the cake. I own almost entirely Apple hardware. If I thought something else was nicer, I'd get it. I don't.

> Commas and periods that are part of the overall sentence go inside the quotation marks, even though they aren’t part of the original quotation.

I firmly refuse to go along with this nonsense.

http://www.thepunctuationguide.com/em-dash.html

> The em dash is typically used without spaces on either side, and that is the style used in this guide. Most newspapers, however, set the em dash off with a single space on each side.

Isn't this is US versus Britain, not "newspapers" versus "typical use"? And AFAIK it's not a "single space": it's ideally a half-space (in US style). The problem with no space is that your eyes can't easily disambiguate it from a hyphenated single word.
That's the problem with the cloud. On premise installations don't tend to all fail at the same time..
> Given all the restrictions it sounds like the same old adaptive cruise control and lane assist that has been around for years. Actually less appealing, with all the face monitoring and eye tracking, not to mention that it only works on 'vetted' stretches of road.

Yes that sounds like quite the restrictions. The vetted road one is interesting as in theory they could expand it with post purchase updates (or even over the air). But given that these are the same companies that would charge $250+ for a DVD of new maps for a built in GPS nagivation system ... well you get the idea.

> Also, I wouldn't be caught dead in a car that looked like that, but that's another matter.

It's a subjective topic but I think it looks quite nice. Seems halfway between the previous Caddy body style and a more German styling.
man i came back after 2 days just to comment on this: you're high. the article is crystal clear and intuitive. he covers each layer's design, purpose, and effect in intuitive terms.

you on the other hand haven't said literally anything except vaguely criticized. look i'll show you how it's done:

>The explanation is also very long and rambling. While I understand the author has made an effort, I don't think the article really presents the subject matter in a new way: I can learn all of this elsewhere. This is a common problem when people write about complex subject matter without fully understanding the knowledge gap between teacher and audience.

these two sentences have nothing to do with each other: that the explanation isn't novel has nothing to do with elided gaps between expositors and readers (wherein usually the exposition is too complex, not too simple as you've confused it).

>If I were the author, I might try to read up on technical communication and spend some time figuring out how to correctly simply something.

vague. read from where? which chapters? simplify which parts?

>I do like the animation, but again, it only serves to show how image convolution works, and doesn't actually teach us anything about a CNN.

it's like you think that one animation should explain the entire CNN. did you actually read the post? that image explain convolutions and is the absolute standard explanation for convolving with a filter/kernel.

>I would suggest the author break the document into three separate sections

better in that at least it's concrete advice. i suggest you include more points like this.

>images are just matrices

are you suggesting the author goes into CCDs? ADCs? now that would be a rambling post.

>That way you counteract the information blindness that occurs from simplification by providing the information later.

that's terrible advice. detail should be evenly distributed through the article. look at any journal article: except for the appendices all of the meat is in the body not in the conclusion.

>Otherwise, this article is really more of a data dump than an intuitive explanation,

a data dump would be just code. this is in fact an intuitive explanation that uses the classification of dogs/cats/boats/bird as the framework, so there's a structure, terms are defined, there's context (lenet etc.), and there are references.

>and since it doesn't really teach us anything we can't learn elsewhere, I don't see what it contributes.

blog articles don't need to be novel.
Do you need a gateway to access the internet. I understand the problem of FCC, don't want to use the wrong frequency, but it seems even if your device can live forever it depends on an existinng network.

When I think of wireless communication in the wild I would have to buy a GSM module and subscribe to at least an SMS service.

Is there such a thing as free communication that isn't regulated. Maybe that's what Walkie Talkies are but assuming "internet like purpose" or at least remote in/out.

That would be cool though just connect to it assuming your device could interface with it (spread spectrum?)

I think I saw something about phones being able to make their own local networks as they're able to transmit like up to a mile. It was I think related to apple phones.

Edit: to try to clarify what I mean by gateway, to connect to the internet need an ISP, not talking about the TCP protocol but literally have to "be allowed" to communicate. I know sounding like a conspiracy person I don't know how to explain it. Also I understand towers transmot far, intercontinental cable,satellites not saying to replace that.

Also, the regulatory environment has changed. The car you could buy 40 years ago couldn't be sold today because it's unsafe, too polluting, etc.
To me this sentence reads as "Apple gathers your personal information to take advantage of internally and give at no cost or trade to third parties."
I'd be super curious to know why exactly American cars look so unappealing to people on the other side of the pond. I find them bloated, full of plastic, tacky, tastless, the lights on front are always this elongated very unattractive shape - and yet, it must be what Americans like, since these are cars designed by them. I wouldn't be surprised if they found European cars ugly in return - Is there any study done on this? An objective look into why Americans/Europeans like what they do in cars?

Thank you, I was wondering about the reason Istio was created. It also sheds some light as to why the CNCF brought on both Istio and Envoy. Still wondering why both Envoy and Linkerd are on their page as service mesh and not just one. They have one project for every other category.
This is related to the reason I had to stop using Sparkleshare. A few years ago I thought the idea was pretty cool, so I tried it out. Then I started to get conflicts on some of my documents. A couple days later, I knew for sure that a file hadn't synced.

Upon searching for a manual sync option (that would have to be a trivial addition) I came upon this issue[1]:

"No, adding an action for this would be a hack. The whole point of SparkleShare is to sync stuff automatically.... Just because something is easy to do doesn't mean it should be added."

I haven't touched Sparkleshare since.

Housing is not a perishable resource (to an extent, yes I realize maintenance is a thing). It's not comparable
Not mentioned in the guide: in the UK very few people use the term 'parentheses', instead they just say brackets. Similarly, 'curly braces' is simply 'curly brackets'. And following on from that, you have 'square brackets' (same as US).

UK:

- Brackets ()

- Curly brackets {}

- Square brackets []

US:

- Parentheses ()

- Curly braces {}

- Square brackets []

Yeah, my 7 year old middle-of-the-line MacBook pro is still kicking, so I haven't had to seriously think about upgrades. One of the annoying things is that I won't be able to make my next MacBook last that long because I won't be able to replace broken stock parts or upgrade ram/storage. I appreciate the tradeoffs inherent in modularity/replaceability vs. portability, but a huge part of the appeal of old macs was their ridiculous lifetimes, which I don't expect will be as long going forward.

I mean, my 2010 MBP has 16GB of ram and a 512GB SSD. The benchmark stats are awful for CPU/GPU/memory/storage speeds, but it's pretty pathetic that 7 years later I can't even choose to get a new mac with more memory.
Those are certainly legitimate concerns. In the end, we are positioning ourselves as an open-core business. Some of what we offer with Wallaroo is always going to be commercial (even if the source is available). That part of what you raise isn't something we can really address. It's the business model we are comfortable with and think from talking to other companies that are the primary developers of an open source project is sustainable as a business.

Business model aside, I think you raise some interesting points about hikes prices, company disappears etc. This is something we'll be discussing over the next couple weeks. Its definitely an area of ambiguity that we need to address. Thank you for raising it.

You say "outside of ...", as if those things aren't common. So what, a stream of bad luck, or a sickness should relegate you to lifelong poverty?
They need another catchy phrase to reply to this, along the lines of "if you never try, there's nothing to survive". Survivorship Bias is at the top of the list of "reasons not to try", and it's a shame to see it dragged out every time you see a success story.

The thing I live on today was Job Quittin' Sideproject #5. The first four died without ever letting me quit any jobs. Is #5 "survivorship"? Or is it "persistance"?

Let's say the chance of getting a business working, even for a smart guy, is only 10%. Does that mean you shouldn't try? Or does that mean it will take on average half a dozen attempts to make it work?

I like to think it's the latter.

Here's a bit that I wrote about all this a week or so ago:

I suspect the author believes it, and even believes they have reason to - while at the same time having no real evidence. The Guardian does some great writing in terms of crafting narratives, but they just don't seem to have the level of numeracy to make sure their stories reflect overall reality rather than exceptional anecdotes. Can anyone recommend a good source for this kind of news?
>Says who?

That would be you, apparently, calling people idiots for breaking what you call the only real rule you can think of.

Note that this is called a guide. Some of the rules are just convention, but many make the writing easier to follow, and some can help avoid ambiguity.

Even in the cases where it is merely a matter of convention, significant variance might be creative, but it is more likely to be taken as a signal that you haven't read much (allowance should be made for those for whom the language in question is not their native tongue.)

I dipped into this guide, and it seemed to be written in a very straightforward manner - take a look at the section on the differences between British and American punctuation, for example.
anonymization is a process supposed to protect privacy by removing directly identifying information from a data set, de-anonymization is the reverse process (identifying someone in a dataset with no directly identifying information), proving that anonymization does not work.

For example, let's take phone location records, just look where the phone is every night of the week and where it goes every morning and you have the home and work address of the owner which is more than enough to identify the phone owner in pretty much all cases.
I agree with all those reasons. But the majority of people don't care unless you make it personal. Making the world a better place isn't good enough, it's too abstract. You have to answer "What's in it for me?"
Yep, in the U.S.
So I suppose the slightly lower risk didn't work out for me, but if I had to advise anyone else on the hypothetical decision, I'd say pay 10x more and get the slightly lower risk. It's not enough money to save given how shitty the consequences can be.
Yes, but it should be temporary (to be ethical) ... if a single entity is a long-term tenant, that should be proof that they are a responsible, and should begin to accrue equity in the asset they are paying tons of money into.
That's a paired down version from 30 minutes. The decision we faced was:

Do we think asking people to watch a 30 minute intro video will cause far more people to drop off than a 15 minute video? If yes, can we convey a lot of the value of Wallaroo in 15 minutes and get them interested in learning more?

We decided the answer to both questions was yes. I'm planning on doing a couple longer intro videos for those with an appetite to learn more at a slightly more relaxed and less hurried pace.

My question to folks would be, what's the longest you'd be interested in watching? I have enough to cover that I could do:

30 minute, 60 minute or 90 minute videos, each providing more depth. How much time are folks generally interested in investing in videos of this sort?

I think we are confusing two different but related terms in these comments.

1. Privacy of information

2. Freedom to inspect, modify and change source code.

So Open != automatic privacy of information.

The question then really boils down to do you trust apple to be doing what they say they are doing? Or would you prefer to verify it yourself? (open source)

I think Apple is betting that point 1 is much more important than point 2. More people also care about it. Hence the strategy.

Actually the more I think about it the more i realize this may be apples master stroke strategy. Google, Facebook etc. business models are primarily based around monetizing your personal data. Where as apple is saying you can have the same level of services but with out having to compromise as much of your data.

There are only a handful of these companies and those two are the main ones.

Hi, I'm the author of that article. Yes, that was the first thing that came to my mind when I noticed the error messages but it wasn't really an option by that point because I could no longer add new columns to that table. I wanted to enable the deals porting as soon as possible and I didn't know yet by that time how to rewrite the table without asking for some maintenance window, so I decided to go with another solution.

If you're curious why I didn't simply create that column permanently in the first place, the reason is that this was supposed to be a one-off script (it would run multiple times but just during the transition to the new template until all deals would have been ported) and I didn't want to pollute the table or have to remember to drop that column in a future time. There are also other reasons why I don't think it would be a good idea. The script was greatly simplified with the assumption that all rows having a value in the previous_id column would be related to that deal being ported. If I want to keep the same simple logic I'd have to make sure the script would delete any values from that column in the beginning of the transaction and I figured that could increase the chance of conflicts in case of concurrent attempts of porting deals and I didn't want to have to bother about concurrency issues so I didn't want to even think about that. With a temporary column I knew I wouldn't have to worry about that.

Minor correction: Konqueror was KHTML-based (recent versions use WebKit (edit to make clear: originally a fork of KHTML) which has essentially become the mainline of KHTML).
Psion + Cable + Phone was definitely clunky. I thought the Psion was a magnificent piece of design, but the keyboard wasn't good enough for anything except notes, and there were mechanical issues - the stylus holder on mine broke fairly quickly, and the paint finish started peeling.

I changed to a Communicator, and the keyboard on that was even less suitable for anything longer than a brief email.

Browsing before 3G wasn't a pleasant experience. Popular pages (e.g. BBC News) literally took minutes to download and render on the Communicator.

But... you could see the potential was there.

The Macbook I'm typing this on is what the Psion was trying to be. It's three times heavier than the Psion and it's not pocket sized, but that turns out to be less important than having a very usable keyboard and a small but fully functional colour screen.

WiFi and Bluetooth phone connectivity mean that tethering - as it used to be called - isn't clunky any more.

I remember reading about portable consumer touch screen interfaces back in the 70s, but the technology wasn't there to make a viable calculator, never mind a phone/PDA.
