You probably know this, one of his books is titled "Grunch of Giants: Gross Universe Cash Heist".

He had a plan, "Design science revolution", to produce artifacts for consumers that embodied the changes needed.

The concept of the "trimtab" informed his methods.

> Trim tabs are small surfaces connected to the trailing edge of a larger control surface on a boat or aircraft, used to control the trim of the controls, i.e. to counteract hydro- or aerodynamic forces and stabilize the boat or aircraft in a particular desired attitude without the need for the operator to constantly apply a control force. This is done by adjusting the angle of the tab relative to the larger surface.

I'm not sure if I'm missing sarcasm here; if I am I apologize.

But... this is obviously not how the world works. In the records and CDs era revenue was proportional to disks shuffled around. It is absolutely not the case that a typical web business has revenue proportional to the number of servers they employ.

The important point here is what economists call "trapping the value" and "pricing power": a CD full of music has lots of value, but the person selling the physical item was at one point the person controlling scarcity, and thus had pricing power, so they trapped most of the value.

Nowadays web business models allow developers to trap the value of their software more effectively. That doesn't mean they are piggybacking on the markup on web servers.
Minor nit at this point but NHTSA just released their 2016 data.

This is the last gasp by blockstream who has sought to control the github repository and heavily censor /r/bitcoin to fit their narrative. They've done everything they can to restrict the throughput of bitcoin to 1MB per block so that their off chain solutions are seen as a neccesity. They pitched to VCs as 'invest in the company that controls bitcoin'.

With this, they will start to lose control of bitcoin, thus their company will be even more worthless than it already is. They have spent all their energy on propaganda campaigns and censorship to restrict bitcoin scaling, which has always been technically trivial. Bitcoin.org is controlled by the same people and should not be taken as any sort of an authority.

The left's reaction to Ben is precisely what exposes their hypocrisy. Their strategy to pit "victims" and "saviors" against "injustice" is an effort to control opposition, they don't even try to win arguments with debate anymore. A non-participating "victim" remains (Ben) and it is revealed that the only tool they possess is to call everyone who disagrees with them racist, sexist nazis.

Of course you can always use traditional databases and code to implement the functionality but then you need someone who runs the code! Even if all code is open source you need a way to verify that the code is actually running, which generally translates into trusting a third party – the company in question (e.g., uber). The third party can be completely removed with DLT — that‘s the unique feature. You don’t need companies anymore but can have direct interactions between users facilitated by a smart contract.
There is no obvious connection between the methodologies peddled by "Uncle Bob" or the author of the piece and security breaches. They are not claiming to be computer security experts. How exactly are unit tests or code reviews or similar rituals supposed to have prevented the numerous breaches by Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks associates, especially when most of the information appears to have come from insiders with authorization to access the data? (for example). In the Bradley/Chelsea Manning case the government has consistently implied that Manning had authorization to access the vast State department archive of diplomatic cables, as implausible at that seems. I don't see how unit tests or code reviews would have prevented John Podesta from clicking on an obvious phishing link. :-)

> Attackers don't do things that overtly "change" things... especially something that is visually apparent on public facing websites...

Yet, for many, many years, that was probably the most common thing that attackers (including a much younger, teenaged version of yours truly) did. At that time, however, "defacing" web sites was done mostly for bragging rights and without malicious intent. In many (most?) cases, the original index.html page would be copied/backed up and the "new" web page (created haphazardly using vi, perhaps) would replace or augment it.

For a long time, there were even mirrors [0] of these defaced web pages. attrition.org ran one from 1995-2001 and, for much of that time, even ran a mailing list where they would announce these "defacements" -- often, immediately after they occurred (after being tipped off by the attackers). It was pretty common to be able to view the "still defaced" site while it was still live (before being taken down and/or restored). As a frame of reference, attrition.org stopped mirroring these sites in May 2001 [1].

> ... it will no longer mirror the defacements because keeping up with the volume and rate of hacks is too much work ... ([1])

So, yeah, it happened A LOT. It is, of course, a much different world now (although defacements still occur regularly).

Interesting. This is only 5 years after Jobs’ visit to Xerox PARC, where he would later say he “missed [their developments in] networking” because he was so fascinated by their GUI work.
> I think it’s a little absurd that we would make the leap to machine super-intelligence without going through the step of machine low or medium intelligence.

I’m not so sure about this, which is not so say i’m arguing FOR the leap. But, intuitively, there is an absolute massive leap in terms of perceived intelligence among humans, let alone with chimps. It seems some of the magic sauce for passing a turing test is, evolutionarily speaking, rather small.
Huh, I wonder to what extent this is dependent on the therapist understanding that you're on MDMA. I.e., would it be possible for a patient to take some MDMA (assuming you have experience with it) and then go to a therapist?

I've accidentally done as much myself with close friends instead of therapists: I started partying with Molly during a period in my life where I was already starting to recognize and work through some issues from my entire childhood: the wee hours of the morning after having an amazing night dancing is a pretty ideal setting to open up mental blocks and be honest with yourself and others. (It also made me almost instantly closer to those people, whom I consider some of the most important people in my life at this point).

Yeah, the RFC seems very vague too.

I could see some value in meta-data for automated reporting of security issues.

But the spec would have to be less informal.
the 4:3 and 3:2 comment grabs me. Why aren't there more non-tablet form factors with one of these screen ratios? Even 1:1 might be useful to some.

Well they gotta make the cut at some point. If Firefox waits forever then Chrome will just eat up all their users.

Don't listen to the stragglers who want all the old Firefox behaviors supported forever. The wast majority of users don't care about Tree style tabs and vim style keyboard navigation or what XUL even is. They just want something snappy and fast like Chrome. That's how you get users to use your browser. That's how Firefox became popular in the first place. That's how any browser ever became popular. Yes even IE was faster than Netscape at one point, maybe because of nefarious practices by MS, but it was faster, and that's what the users wanted. It's all about the speed.

I will follow up by e-mail shortly, but can't help adding a couple things to two lines of thought in your response:

Here's an open form agreement that I wrote from scratch for contractors that allows switching from terms for "open" and more traditionally "closed" projects: https://github.com/kemitchell/switchmode Terms for either "mode" are compatible with use of OSS and collaboration with OSS communities.

I represent both open-style devs doing paid work and companies who hire them. I tried to strike a balance, in much more approachable language, with Switchmode.

L0 currently supports one kind of very dramatic licensing transition: developers can offer to relicense their projects BSD-2-Clause for a stated amount. Sponsor pays the price, developer automatically grants a BSD-2-Clause license, and takes obligations to update notices and push commits accordingly.

His argument mostly makes sense up to the point where he says tests are the only solution... Why not default to overriding the safeties, then use them where your reasoning says they ought to hold? Cheaper than writing a bunch of tests just to guard against null pointers.

The current academic system is rigged to produce a continual "shortage" of funding and jobs, no matter what the nominal budget is.

In the benchmark what was the physical block size, 16KB? it seems with O_DIRECT after 16KB the speed tapers off and stays at about 130MB/s. And there is a significant jump from 4K (60Mb/s) and 8K (90Mb/s).
As a gay person born in the early 80s, I vividly remember how "normal" gay jokes were in movies all through my childhood and teen years. Although I didn't fully realize I was gay, a subconscious part of me did, because I remember how uncomfortable it made me each and every time. It was such a standard trope:

Gay joke happens in movie

Entire theatre groans, goes "Ewwwwww"

It was just standard formula. It started changing right at the end of the 90s / early 2000's with televisions shows like Queer as Folk, and Will and Grace, that treated gay people like normal human beings.
Ahh you found it! No machine learning at the moment, just using the Twitch clips api. Machine learning would be very helpful for some problems however, specifically to weed out clips in which the broadcaster specified the incorrect game.

You're right about offering the service to the streamers - that's definitely the way to go to make a business out of it and it's something I've considered. However, I was mostly interested in doing the project for fun, and for some passive income, and making it a service would definitely not be passive.

The clips API returns language information about the clips, which you can use to filter them. Before that, I had to manually maintain a blacklist of non-English streamers.

I do monthly highlight videos, but they're solely based on clip views on Twitch - it doesn't use YouTube analytics, which I'm sure would improve the videos.

It is a cool idea to include chat - another thing I've considered but haven't implemented, though I've noticed some Twitch highlight channels (that do manually edited videos) do it. Thanks for the link to the downloader.

The links at the end of the videos are tricky - there's no api for that, so currently they're populated by a Firefox macro on a desktop that's supposed to be run every day - looks like there's an issue with it running! The better version would be to use a webscraper or headless browser to automate those clicks via the render server. That's what I'm supposed to be working on next, in fact...

No, this is why we have the first amendment. The second amendment is crap. I have no very strong opinion on whether people should be allowed to have guns, but the issue is not very relevant.

> it takes time and space for you to prepare the zip file,

One advantage is that for millions of small files, batching them together into one monolithic ZIP file allows for faster downloading. As opposed to a round trip to fetch each file. But there could be a happy medium where we batch 1,000 encrypted files to download to your computer then split them up, decrypt them, and cleanup any temporary files before fetching the next 1,000 encrypted files, etc.

Yeah, we get asked for a "client restore option" quite a bit (see other comments in this thread also). Realistically I don't see it happening in the next 6 months, but eventually we really should get it done.

Furthermore, they spent maybe close to a decade wrangling with trying to better nail down NC and, as far as I can see, basically punted. Anything unambiguously NC is mostly something that you’d hopefully never see an issue around anyway, e.g. making a print of a photo for your house. Everything else, someone will argue is commercial even if it’s not an unambiguous commercial use like an ad.

As a left handed user... I fucking despise the idea of thumb-reach heatmaps geared solely towards right handed use.

As a side note, we make up ~10 percent of all users. If you design to the thumb reach of right handed users by default, you're fucking over a lot of people.

Add on that ~19 percent of the population has some form of disability, and a solid chunk of that involves hand/limb usages, making the head-up-ass assumption that a right handed thumb map is the "ideal" approach is... well you've shoved your head up your ass.
