The first I ran into it, it was basically a key server where you could associate your public key with social media "proof" -- someone who had access to the private key proved it by posting from this Twitter account, this Github user, this Reddit user, etc.

It seems like the last year or two they've really been ramping up ways to actually _use_ those keys though. They do have a chat app, which I've used with coworkers, but only to share stuff we don't want to send over Slack. It seems like at least part of the issue they've got with the homepage is that their "core" product -- hosting a public key for someone -- isn't really very interesting compared to the satellite offerings.

Perhaps consider self studying the big ideas? We have a product manager who is self-studying to boost his ML street cred on the project he is managing currently. You only need a handful of books/courses to get 80%+ of the way there. The math isn't all that bad if you're mathematically inclined, and even if you're not, you just need to know symbolically what is going on. The implementations are already done (via sklearn, etc.)
I have a long running vm on Google cloud with only tiny configuration. I communicate to it with strong crypt way to access my 'pass' s git repo. So far so good, but I'm good to see what keybase's good work on how to improve the personal data safety, that's a good choice.
Had a similar experience but better opinion of Google's sorry. My wife's 6P entered a bootloop 5 or 7 days after the 1-year warranty expired. Google and Huawei said "sorry—your warranty expired." But I don't fault them. An expired warranty is, after all, expired. I ended up reselling the phone on eBay for $120. At least it's recycled: people use them for parts.

On the other hand, I actually loved Google's support. Reaching them on the phone was easy. No wait. At some point I had to step away to take care of my baby, so they said they would call me back in 30min, and the same rep called me EXACTLY on the dot when they said they would call. They didn't follow a script to the letter, with numerous unnecessary steps, but jumped ahead when I told them what I had tried to diagnose the problem. Overall, very efficient, quality support. Of course I was bummed the bootloop couldn't be fixed (I experienced it before it was a widespread issue) but I was honestly stunned how good their support experience was.

I ended up replacing the 6P by a Nexus 5X. I know I'll get good support IF I ever need it.
> Uhm, you realize they created a completely open bucket for public to upload videos into and then put all the onus on the uploaders regardless?

As opposed to what? If the city creates a public park and you decide to commit a crime there, are you somehow no longer responsible?
I installed linux mint debian, with Cinnamon. There is the start menu, there is a file explorer, there is firefox and an email client. There isn't any difference to Windows for a casual user.

I admit, setting up the system can be a little time-consuming. But once everything is working, it is real easy to operate.

If there are any problems, I help.
Even as you pointed out, "git" is a decentralized version tracking system, and "github" is a centralized website that hosts it. In this case it's pretty clear where git starts and ends.

however bitcoin blockchain is a data structure AND a network. And the innovative part is that it manages to stay decentralized (unlike github) while keeping a single canonical ledger. This has nothing to do with postmodernist societal theory, it's a fact.

Also I'm not sure if you actually took a look at the code and ran a node and hacked around with a bitcoin wallet, but from my experience there's a lot more to Bitcoin blockchain than your simplified version of what it is.

> In a very real sense, git is a blockchain

Let me bite and go into technical details and argue with you. Even if we're talking on a purely data structure level, git is NOT a "block" chain. There's a clear reason why blockchain had to use the "block" structure to group transactions together instead of chaining them individually.

Thinking git is a blockchain is as ridiculous as saying anything that uses this type of linked list structure is a blockchain.

Finally, let's not bring in these ludicrous ICO stuff into this argument. I am as much of a skeptic as you about these scams, but just because there are many scams out there, doesn't mean that the original technology is not a work of genius.

If you really think it is not, then I recommend you actually reading the white paper, running a node, and looking into the code. I bet you will realize what you've been skeptical about is nothing more than what the ignorant media have been hyping up, but not the actual technology.

I don't mean to claim doctors do fine without enough sleep. Doctor friends I have spoken to talk about this talk about the reforms but it is not uniformly positive. I am trying to posit that the claim that we function better with more sleep is true. But that claim is made in a vacuum. Person A operates at 100% well rested. But operating at 80% or 60% is more valuable than 0% if averaged out over time. So I can write better code when I'm well rested, sure. I agree with that. I think everyone logically will. If I have 1000 lines of code to write. And it will take me 10 hours to write it. And I have 2 days to do it. I'll spread it out over 2 days and write good code, and maybe it only end up taking 800 lines of code. But if I have 1 day to write it. I might end up writing 1200 lines of code, but still get it done in that day, it is more valuable to me, than a day later when the code doesn't matter anymore. I'd argue I'd rather a doctor save my life that day, than do a great job and make sure I never scar over two days when the option isn't there.

Medicine is a regulated industry in that the number of people trained almost precisely matches the number of jobs available. The training process is designed to prune out people who cannot function when they have to choose between life saving procedure, and doing the life saving procedure perfectly but losing the patient. It's a straw-man I know, I'm just tired of everyone being absolutely fascinated by this idea that resting is better than not resting. Isn't that just obvious? Does anyone feel like they work better when they are tired? What knowledge are we gaining by these discussions?
Last time I looked, about 6 months ago, Raspbian didn't get timely security updates, and the only low-maintenance distros that supported RPi & had their patching act together seemed to be Ubuntu & SuSe. Debian doesn't support the RPi.

Even if you put the RPi on your network "just for fun", it can cause much havoc when someone pwns it and joins it to a botnet or uses it as a stepping stone into your home network.

I 100% agree. I originally learnt Vim because I didn't have any choice. It was the only supported editor at my workplace, so I was thrown in the deep end, using it every day.

That kind of situation can foster resentment, but I embraced the challenge. I got use to Vim, and overall adopted a more "UNIX" approach to my workflow and development. I'm not all the way there, but I'm trying to embrace it more, little by little.

> People act like guns are only useful for committing crimes and mass shootings. Guns are a tool; we have a cultural problem, not a simple gun problem.

You have: a gun problem; poverty; a lack of opportunities (education); (mental) healthcare problems; police violence/murder; drug problems; prison condition problem; a sentencing problem; money in politics; issues with due process; ... the list goes on.

These all contribute to people feeling powerless, which presumably causes things like this. You should fix these issues, the rest of the civilized world has.

I asked myself that question about a year ago. What I did was go play around with the tutorials at todomvc.com to get a feel for what was out there.

When I was done I couldn't really decide what was best and after straining over that for a few weeks I finally decided to look at what was "easiest" (for me) instead.

That allowed me to look at it an entirely new way. That was a question that I could answer.

I ended up choosing PouchDB/jQuery/Bootstrap.

Those tools provide an amazing feature rich set of APIs that work together seamlessly and all have great community support. From there I can look for smaller libraries of code that focus on a specific task and drop them in too.

Once I got started with them I was amazed at how productive I was. It's easy (for me) to get things done using those tools.

Humans can decide a lot of things. We're all still dumb animals driven primarily by instinct, although we like to think the levels of abstraction we put on top of those instinctual actions makes us somehow enlightened. It's a matter of what instincts are stronger: the desire to reproduce, or the desire for pleasure and comfort.

That's not a trend. It is the subject of the thread.

Here's my story.

Bought Nexus 5. Smashed screen in go-kart accident. Called Google to ask about repair; they offered to replace it for free. I still have that phone as a backup.

Bought Nexus 6p. Then bought another for wife. Both worked fine; we gave them to family members after two years.

Now have Pixel, Pixel XL for wife, and Pixel for daughter. They've all worked fine. Daughter got small scratch on screen, bought screen protector after that, no incidents since.

Standard disclosure: I work at Google. These experiences were all with normal retail devices, purchased with own money at full price, using personal Gmail accounts, with no special treatment as a Google employee.
you said it yourself -- i can still listen to audio "with an adapter". so this is like saying you can still take photos "with a camera".

the point being that to some, the wired output was useful and significant without the requirement of having additional adapters.

actually wasn't the idea of a "smart" phone that it could replace so many separate things we used to also have to carry around...?
> Instead they should think about systems where such a breach is just not possible.

The underlying problem is the existence of centralized identity, as opposed to decentralized identity. It's the practice of identifying people by a single global identifier (e.g. SSN) instead of having your bank identify you with your bank card and your employer identify you with your employee ID.

People are focused on identity theft here, but there are two points about that. The first is that identity theft doesn't exist without centralized identity, and the second is that identity theft isn't even the main issue.

Centralized databases know very private things about you. They know if you've paid for services at an abortion clinic or a cancer treatment center or a mental health facility. They know if you've ever been on the payroll of a police department, or paid tuition at a police academy, even if you're currently working undercover. They know whether you patronize gay establishments, even if you're in the closet. They know your current address, even if you have a crazy ex who doesn't.

That kind of information is inherently dangerous. In the wrong hands it can get innocent people fired or blackmailed or killed. Which means any central database containing all of it for everyone is inherently a huge vulnerability waiting to be exploited. And none of that goes away even if you replace the SSN with some kind of public key that doesn't itself need to be kept secret.

But centralized identity is the linchpin of those databases and it isn't really needed for anything else. So we should get rid of it.

Shopping a lego brick box - unfortunately I am under impressed by today's selection.

Only traditional shaped box I found - unfortunately littered with too many special parts, little traditional bricks:

Modern "classic" brick box - unfortunately very little traditional bricks, most parts are special parts - sad :(

Back in the 1990s Lego had these big red Lego boxes, with many Lego pieces with many big and small traditional Lego bricks (4, 6 and 8-style bricks) in traditional colors. Such a Lego box used to be best to engage creativity.

How can one buy new traditional 4-, 6-, 8-style Lego bricks in large quantities nowadays?

A bank freezing your account to protect you, because they think someone hijacked your account, is different than a bank that thinks you're a bad person and the bank wants to find out every single account you have and punish you.

Many people have experienced financial protections, but few have experienced an adversarial bank, and I imagine that would scare a lot of people.

It sounds like to me Google does both things. Google does things which are comparable to customer fraud protection, and Google also does things which maximally asserts its positions in a punitive manner, at which point, is it time for lawyers and media PR battles?

Also, it clearly was not the first digital cash. e-Gold and many others predate it.

> Which is what the Socrates character in Platos dialog seems to spend all his time doing.

But that is a ruse. The character of Socrates knows the answers ahead of time, or at least most of the possible paths the dialogue could take. Otherwise he couldn't achieve the 100% success rate of guiding his partner to reveal the essence of whatever the original topic was.

If he was hiding his ignorance there would have been fruitless digressions. If he was an ideologue his incisive questioning would be the hypocritical response to his partner pointing out a fallacy in his own reasoning. If he was a troll he would have added nothing relevant to the discussions he interrupted.

I didn't see any of those pop-ups once, maybe the ad blocker blocks them or sheer luck with the sites I browse to. However, those menu bars are super annoying. I actively block them with the element picker of uBlock origin. I only want to read a post and the menu is almost always useless. I also block the bottom bars, social bars, the open in app button of Medium, etc.

It's worth doing that only for sites I know I return to. I don't follow any of those sites but many of them are linked many times from aggregators like HN.

I do an insane amount of long-haul flying and really rely on the 3.5mm jack for my noise cancelling headphones. I could get bluetooth headphones but they wouldn't work with in-flight entertainment when it's available.

I hope this whole no-headphone jack trend doesn't continue, I know the 3.5mm TNC isn't the best jack but if you don't want it because of bad waterproofing reasons or size/whatever can we just get a different analog jack with an adapter? Having the DAC built into the phone is required to keep things nice.
