I'm most interested in its potential for audiobooks, especially of the vast array of old and less-common books that don't have human-made audiobook equivalents. I find myself constrained by the limits of audiobook choices, which tends toward best-sellers lists or pop-sci. Current attempts to use text-to-speech to generate audiobooks results in something that's frankly unlistenable. If TTS could get to a "good enough" point for audiobooks, that would open up a huge range of less-common content.

> I don't think this is the claim.

That is exactly the claim, almost word-for-word.

"Neither nation [Australia or Britain] experienced drops in mass shootings or other gun related-crime that could be attributed to their buybacks and bans. Mass shootings were too rare in Australia for their absence after the buyback program to be clear evidence of progress."

But if you actually look at the data, this is simply absurd. Australia averaged one mass shooting every 18 months before the ban without about a dozen separate events. Since the ban 21 years have gone by without a mass shooting. To say that "mass shootings were too rare in Australia for their absence after the buyback program to be clear evidence of progress" is manifestly absurd. At the very least it requires an explanation: just how many mass shooting does she require before their total absence for over two decades can be attributed to an intervention?

Humans are Klingons. We in the developed world are currently living in a very strange universe unlike any before it in the history of humankind. Previous to the peaceful, violence-free lifestyle most people enjoy in the West everyone was pressed into sustaining the human war machine. American Indians had a long history of inter-tribal warfare to rival any European combat. It's just what humans do. Our apex societal violence is force-multiplied by a small group of people operating complex technological machinery, even though everyone else is still pressed into service and driven to exhaustion for industrial productivity.
FWIW, CRDB should be a good fit for people worried about database lock-in. You'd only be "locked in" if you discover that we're much better than the alternatives :)
CRDB uses the standard SQL language. Also, CRDB speaks the PostgreSQL wire protocol; for using CRDB you'd be using the Postgres drivers for different languages. So, more or less, any application that can work with us should also work with Postgres (and vice versa). Moreover, the Postgres drivers generally respect other higher interfaces (odbc, jdbc) so, more or less, a CRDB application should also work with any other established SQL database (and vice versa).
CRDB can also export your data in formats easily importable by other SQL databases.
That depends - is that data encrypted on your system? Since git is decentralized, there's a chance that any plain-text copy (such as a clone on your system) could be compromised. Keybase even addresses this in the FAQ, to an extent:

> What if my computer is compromised?

> Your work is only as safe as your endpoints, so we can't help you there.

This applies regardless of host or protocol, BTW, and it isn't even specific to computing. (It doesn't matter how many locks you have on your front door if you leave the back door propped open.)

I don't think this refutes the point; Google's core competency is selling ads, not selling babelfish, and 0% of their executives believe that it will ever be so. Remember that Google shut down Google Reader for having only a few million users and no path towards profitability. Back around the Google Plus initiative it was reported that Google Translate was a hair's width from the chopping block due to providing no financial value to the company, saved only by extreme defensive reaction from internal users (thanks, whoever you are!).

Yeah definitely, I regarded it as a failure to fall back to GVim. But my sanity and productivity was at stake.

I did spend a lot of time in Vim in DOS and loved the fact that it was even possible to do something productive there.

But I just started wasting more and more time on little details that didn't quite work.

It's even more frustrating when you compare to how perfectly it works in the Linux command line. Certainly in Linux I'll use regular Vim.

I've used very little of the GVim commands and got rid of the ugly menu so it looks like regular Vim.

But I have utmost respect for GVim for being forgiving and kind to a new user.

This book by a couple of very good liberal sociologists (whose other work I also recommend): The Tea Party and the Remaking of Republican Conservatism https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005PS3CFM

The most fascinating part was probably that Tea Party individuals actually adopted and modified a lot of liberal tactics, specifically those from the book “Rules for Radicals”. Now we see a trend where liberals and people like the Democratic Socialists of America are adopting those modified tactics BACK INTO the Democratic Party.
It's a bit different because it's a hidden expense when it comes to budgeting. Six months expenses looks different if sometimes you emergency fund needs to cover CORBA that changes over time in a way that is transparent to you. If it all came out of your accounts, you could literally measure expenses and judicially tweak from there.
You can even do it(in fact it's a common pattern) using partial application. Configure a function by binding its first argument with some config data/behavior/policy/mock etc. This eliminates the first arg of the function signature and generalizes it. Then pass that function off to another higher-order function. The advantage is the consuming function is isolated and knows nothing about the composed behavior - even during construction.

In this case the function signature corresponds to the class interface, and partial application corresponds with binding the injected dependencies passed via the constructor (using a factory, or dependency injection container etc).
> Even if it is encrypted again before it's put onto the disk, fundamentally the key lives on the server (and has to in order to provide Github's feature set) and so an attacker who had compromised the machine would simply grab the key before going after the files on disk. The actual additional security you get is really not that significant.

It's not just compromised machines that you have to worry about -- that's what the higher layers of security are for:

It's also:

- poor disk decommissioning (e.g., your staff throws away disks without properly erasing them.)
- poor machine management -- machines assigned to one owner, then moved to a new one.
- bugs in storage management systems that leak data (e.g., block replicators, etc.)

Also, note that the keys don't have to be on disk. Most cloud providers configure hosts to get keys via PXE boot, for exactly this reason.

To be clear -- I don't disagree with you about thinking about the threat model, and in many cases it's not necessary to do this. But I do think that GitHub is now a very large player in an enterprise market, so I can't let them off so easily. :-)

Open source is by its definition a product for developers.

Ask HN: It can't be NRA lobbying, right?
Per this Washington Post article ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/nra-donations/) $3.5M has been donated to current congress members since 1998. I have no idea how much has gone to lobbyists and people who aren't in congress. Couldn't we just form a super-pac and raise funding with the sole goal of giving politicians a choice of who they take their donation from?

If it's not lobbying, is it votes? Is someone's vote really going to be swayed by their representative restricting assault rifles? Do these things really serve any other purpose then being toys or "safety" against a radical government? Could we come up with some sort of straw polling app to help politicians see that it might actually help their cause?

Sorry this post lacks any sort of statistics or depth. I just don't understand what the problem is. The NRA donation amount seems so small and media continues to talk about the NRA lobby having such a stronghold.
How to Overcome Depression ?   Four Pillars
Thanks for bringing that up.

I suspect you and I are talking about two different things however.

I'm using fraud as an ordinary layman would use it - that is - deliberate deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain.

In this case, I think most people would agree that spawning up multiple dummy accounts (e.g. john001@gmail.com, john002@gmail.com, john003@gmail.com) and then using them to get around ordering restrictions is definitely deceptive. (These account names are obviously illustrative).

And in terms of what's a "reasonable" response, that's above my paygrade. All I can comment on is the public statements that those people made around the time, and around their interactions with Google and their interpretation of them.

However, are you a legal practitioner? If so, then perhaps you are using the term in the other sense? Also, if you're willing to comment IAAL, that would be very interesting.

Know SQL. Not because you'll be needing it, but because of the bias among older developers that junior developers just glue together frameworks and libraries, and lack real problem solving knowledge. Learning SQL is probably the quickest way to diffuse that.
The cost is actually less than what we would be paying if we rented dedicated servers. I think the reputation for clouds being expensive comes from people running compute instances 24/7. However, you don't run any compute instances on Firebase. You only pay for operations (read, write, function executions, etc.), and if you structure your app to avoid operations (i.e. through caching), you end up paying very little.
What's the difference between having something like Google Home in your home and carrying a cell phone in your pocket, other than the fact that the cell phone can listen in on you even when you're away from home?

This question has a FAQ entry near the bottom of TFA:

> Why not just make a bare repo in KBFS?

The Keybase filesystem journals changes and syncs them after writes, kind of like Dropbox. Which means you and another team member could be fighting each other and make a conflicted HEAD, where there'd be 2 copies side by side. Similarly, you shouldn't put git repos in Dropbox.

Keybase's git prevents this by locking.

Also: it's nicer to use the Keybase app to discover and manage your teams' repositories.

Most warnings are just warnings. A warning like "implicit cast from pointer to integer" is a red flag (I got bit by this one). I think there are a few others that are always worth taking a look at.

I like your idea of marking warnings. Warnings should be treated like the messages from any static analysis tool. A lot of times they are worth at least looking at but you should be able to mark them as "not a problem" if you think you know better. That way you will always look at new warnings and not end up ignoring all warnings because there are too many that are irrelevant.

Not directly. If not complexity, is it a kind of computation or something physical that makes neurons produce consciousness? Those positoins are more tough to support.
