Firebase here as well.

Why I like it:

-CLI makes it easy to use.

-Deploying to the internet is as easy as "firebase deploy"

-Comes with HTTPS for free and with zero config

-Automatmagically uses Firebase's CDN

-Can serve with your custom domain name

-Low cost (for my needs/traffic levels)

-(Mostly)Straightforward documentation/references

Pain point(s):

-Slightly fragmented documentation. This was only one instance, so I might be blowing it out of proportion.
I wanted to have Clean URLs in my website, there was no mention of that capability in the Firebase docs -> "Customize hosting behavior".

But the only instance I found this feature was from a random Firebase blog post from 2 years ago.

https://firebase.googleblog.com/2015/12/a-host-of improvements_61.html

-I can't view the contents of what I'm hosting from the web based (At least I tried to, and can't figure it out.)

-Deploys can be slow(30 secs -2 min), but honestly I should setup a CD pipeline and stop staring at it while it's deploying.

I originally was going to use Google Cloud Storage, but they don't support HTTPS out of the box.
Somehow they got forced to not hire 6 year olds to work in mines and businesses adapted and did well. So I think it's possible without killing incentives for entrepreneurs. It's a matter of balance.

Well, then you should have noticed what the article was about, which was not to detail a research program about AI safety.
Different articles can address different aspects of a problem without being accused of advocating "random action". That's just ridiculous.

There's actually a lot of room to move the needle on pay even. I know a CS department that is giving it's grad student a >$5000 yearly raise from $25K because it's grad student union (unofficial) found out that CS students are getting much worse pay compared to the other engineering grad students. 5000 is a lot of money for grad students.
Sorry, I just used the generic term for illegal. I lived on a rez so Peyote was a religious rights issue. Crack & meth really have no use in society at all and the damage I've seen still gives me nightmares. Plus, meth is actually a physical danger to those around the maker. Unrefined cocaine leaves are used as an altitude aid, so I really cannot say much bad there (refined cocaine users are a problem).

I don't think I've ever encountered a shroom user and I'm fine with studies. I really don't like MJ because it does ruin people's lives around here, but I get the legalization (well, sorta, kinda legal) and I guess some people can handle it fine putting in the same boat as alcohol for me. I'm a bit perturbed because we just got smoking down and now something that smells worse is here. I was hoping people would flock to some vaping solution[1], but we got smokers who can cause a contact high. As a North Dakotan who remembers some history, I look forward to hemp being grown again in the northern plains.

I live in a place where people have stolen hand soap and drained air conditioners to get a buzz, so please forgive my default is "not good".

If you haven't heard about this person's wife using Google+ it's a little bit of anecdotical evidence that it's doing its job of supporting communities rather than generically connecting people (like Facebook).

The user interface remains outstandingly bad, but I've never seen clickbait links or scammers on Google+.
Because millions of people are using it ? I use it daily, I'm subscribed to ~40 communities mostly tech and photography. The signal/noise ratio is way better than facebook. I've not used facebook in several years so maybe it's better now but it did not add anything to my live, quite the contrary, G+ does.
Its a question I ask, but really given where I live its not much of a problem. The best we could offer is really fast internet and a lot of quite.

On-premise, with or without VMs, does not safe you from rowhammer, however. That's just another use case, and not really surprising. Since you can modify RAM, there aren't borders really.
Yeah, trusting the GC - reading the original author's comments on it:

> Mind you, the whole heap code really needs a rewrite to reduce per-object memory overhead, and to remove the need for the binary tree of allocations. Not really thinking of a generational GC, that would probably add to much code. This was something I vaguely intended to do, but never got around to. The current heap code was just the simplest thing to get GC working quickly. The very initial implementation did no GC at all. It was beautifully fast, but ran out of memory rather too quickly.
Or everything they’re broadcasting is encrypted, even the metadata and framing bits. With spread-spectrum, directional and burst patterns to mitigate side channels and jamming.

So the alien communications just look like noise to us here on earth.

We’re nearing the “everything encrypted” point ourselves, and we would certainly be very careful about emissions control if we ever got ourselves out of the solar system.

Presumably any other advanced civilization would have had its own paranoid Sci-Fi literature/film/whatever, and would behave accordingly.
Exactly, innovation is dead. Now its a bunch of remix artist that are trying to make a quick buck. Whatsapp is purposely going stale (what is the deal with only being able to sync with gdrive or icloud, what if I want to switch my OS, how to get my data out?) in the hopes that people will move to messenger like how Google just killed gtalk in the hope that customers will move to one their many messenger.

This is the case in hardware also. Every phone looks like an iphone & tablets are a larger phone, I miss the days when Nokia & Samsung used to release phones of various form factors.
edit: I understand this post is unpopular with people that dislike the US and strongly dislike recognizing its technological dominance over the last half century. Downvotes can't change facts of history however. The parent's empty, absurd premise deserved a challenge and I provided it with a large, prominent list of examples.

Your turn. Let's see your contrasting list that is so vastly superior to what the US has contributed.
You might want to read what I actually said instead.

I know abuse happens. In fact, it happens on all sides, but gets downplayed if it happens to politically unpopular targets. Even some of the people who've profiled themselves as anti abuse specialists are more than happy to direct their own followers to targets, share their phone numbers, address, and so on. Even without that hypocrisy, the line between legitimate use and harassment is fuzzy.

Just recently for instance, there was that BuzzFeed article about Milo Yiannopoulos, and you could see the morality police mobbing and hounding anyone who was remotely in contact with the guy as being evil nazis. The same people who cry for Twitter to stop abuse. It's only bad when the out group does it, when the in group does it you're just sharing important information and leveraging the network effects of digital media. Guilty until proven super guilty.

There was also the famous case of Steph Guthrie and Gregory Allen Elliot in Canada where simply denouncing a feminist witch hunt was enough to get the guy a long and arduous harassment case he eventually won,
where his accuser claimed with a serious face he didn't have the right to defend himself against her. And he wasn't even the guy she was originally after.

Closer to home there was recently drama in the node community where, after failing to vote out a community leader for having shared the wrong opinion on codes of conduct, the persecutors themselves were found to be harassing people and advocating violence shamelessly... Which suddenly was not grounds for a reprimand.

To my knowledge, nobody is receiving hundreds of credible death threats. Rather, offhand comments like "I hope you die" or offensive memes are deliberately being spun into a moral panic because it's useful as tribal ammo. When the network effects and witch hunts go the other way, it's waved away.

The truth is somewhere in the middle, and not everything is what it seems. But I know I'm not going to get an objective assessment from the people who think it's ok to fire others for disagreement, especially not when they don't just summon social media followers, but instead recruit a cabal of journalists with much larger platforms to conduct their smears.

PS: Milo is an edgelord try hard, I don't like him. But all he is is the Shanley Kane of the right, with more talent.
I am not PP but I think a decent basic income is a good alternative.

Effectively, it is splitting of fruits of economic production into two portions. One portion is redistributed to everybody, and the other is subject of free competition. So you can get the best of both worlds, capitalism and socialism. If you want to compete for the other portion, you can. If you don't want to compete (and be dominated by people who do compete), you live on the basic income.
Unfortunately, doing custom manufacturing for a limited market (i.e., people who will pay for privacy) means they're probably never going to be able get price parity with mass-market brands.
I try to force email to look like an RFC (e.g. https://www.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-index.txt) or UseNet posting using GNUS or some other text only mail reader. Getting rid of all the animated images, markup noise, etc. allows me to focus on the pure information in the email. If the images are valuable, I'll open them up but it's surprising not that important most of the time. YMMV.
How hard would it be to start a one-user instance so that I control my identity and then using federation to communicate with other users? The willingness of other admins to federate with me would be the limiting factor, right?
In the wake of "me too", I (a 36 year old guy) have been struggling to find a polite way to point this out on social media to women that are looking to men to fix this systemic horror. Creepy/rapey stories often seems to take place in plain sight, but the perpetrators are remarkably stealthy. I could tell you dozens of stories where another Caucasian let slip some subtle racism to me, but never has anyone even subtly hinted or joked that they'd ever touch a woman inappropriately or even proposition a stranger.

As an overly-protective older brother to two sisters, I've been practically ready to raise fists at anyone who's treating women in a slimy way since I was a teenager. Unfortunately, this instinct has been an almost complete waste of energy - it never comes in handy.

I've concluded that the predators/creeps are very, very careful about how they go about it. They can sniff out guys who have a sense of propriety and they can play the part of a good guy unless they know they're absolutely in the clear.
It might, but how far do insects actually travel? If it was really restricted like that then it would surely be better to concrete over the yard and park their cars there.

I've seen various flying insects more than a hundred miles out to sea but I accept that not all insects fly.

> And the larger an automated taxi service is, the cheaper than offer their product

Incorrect. As I mentioned there will be some aspects of the taxi business that will be more profitable than others. New entrants focusing only on those areas and routes with higher margins will be able to join anytime, and will. Some parts of the business will be more expensive than others (think rural vs. urban or corporate accounts vs. leisure travel) and some companies will optimize for them and thus be able to create pricing pressure.

You see this already with other transportation options that have high capital costs and availability network effects. Think airlines. The tendency in markets like this is for prices to be driven down to marginal cost.

But regardless of all this theorizing, it's much simpler to analyze, we can just look at the taxi business today. The addition of autonomy really just doesn't change the fundamental economics of the thing much at all. People cost money to hire. Machines cost money to buy and maintain. The cost structures are different but they don't have really any effect on the network effect aspect of things.

Because of the app based model and some economies of scale it's likely we'll see a bunch of national/global app based taxi hailing companies, a shift which has already for the most part happened over the last few years. Nobody in this thread has offered up any convincing argument at all for why the simple addition of autonomy really will change this dynamic at all.
I think of it like oxygen. We don't pay for the air we breathe. You don't need an "air" utility to pipe breathable air into your house and have to pay them a monthly bill (yet anyway). You just breathe. You want to breathe harder? Go ahead. Everyone on Earth could run wind sprints all day and we wouldn't run out of air. It replenishes itself naturally.

Once we can do the same with potable water, food, shelter, we'll be at a post-scarcity economy.
There's still many opportunities to patent, they just aren't as "easy" as novel target drugs. E.g. MDMA is known to have some serotonergic toxicity at higher ends of the therapeutic window, so there are opportunities to patent a delivery system which controls the peak plasma concentration, or a co-drug to block some of that toxicity.
On second read, I get it. Thank you. That's big-thinking "marketing" to me, but it's there. :-) As long as a founder themselves owns that sort of marketing role then it gets the attention it needs and (still) I think the other items on the list need to be guided/gated by this marketing to a large degree even from the first days.

Thanks for the added clarity and article.

Anti-subsidy rules aren't exactly a totally contrived reason for tariffs. If the American company is working without subsidy, then it's hard to compete on even footing when the Canadian competitor is underwritten by the state. The correct forum for litigating this question is the WTO.

However, this analysis is complicated by Boeing's close relationship with the USG, particularly the military. I've seen the argument that the juicy contracts they get for military aircraft and weapons systems constitute an indirect subsidy for civilian aircraft. To be honest, I lack the expertise to evaluate this objection, so I simply note it for completeness' sake.

If you're not that familiar with the Fermi Paradox I highly recommend Stephen Webb's book If the Universe is Teeming With Aliens... Where Is Everybody?[0] He covers a basic intro to the problem and then goes through FIFTY proposed solutions in an accessible and entertaining manner. A lot of it explains why "obvious" solutions (including the suggestion in this article and others popping up in this thread) aren't really considered so obvious by field experts who have thought a lot about the problem.

For example, many explanations are of the type "Well, maybe the aliens are all doing X," but it requires every independent civilization to be doing that, with no exceptions, so that we haven't even detected one variant, not even one that needed to escape its star and colonize the galaxy, which many experts find unsatisfying. I found the book to be a fun and quick read that touches on a lot of scientific/comsological/biological/etc concepts.

(Looks like he has a newer editing with 75 explanations...[1] I haven't read that one.)

I see the article also mentions the simulation hypothesis. Personally, I'm intrigued by the overlap between secular simulation hypotheses and religious notions of the universe having a Creator.

That's not what the article says. The article says that with a specific attack, one can change memory bits in running applications to which one should not have access. This application could be a VM, or any other type of application.
I never thought of moving more to the online world a good thing, but this makes me question that. Let's consider a wealthy art collector. It would seem to be better for the collector to buy digital art, which is electronic and reproducible, than to buy up physical paintings, which means less paintings available for others.
Yes, you're more or less correct. However, as someone who ditched Twitter for Mastodon, I don't miss Twitter. There's a vibrant community on Mastodon and you'll feel right at home. It'll only get better as more people make the leap.
Quote from the link

"The tax incentives given by the state of Washington and believed to be the largest in US history surpassing the previous record of $5.6bn over 30 years awarded by the state of New York to the aluminum producer Alcoa in 2007. The $8.7bn over 40 years incentive to Boeing to manufacture the 777X in the state includes $4.2bn from a 40% reduction in business taxes, £3.5bn in tax credits for the firm, a $562m tax credit on property and buildings belonging to Boeing, a $242m sales tax exemption for buying computers and $8m to train 1000 workers,

Airbus alleges this is larger than the budgeted cost of Boeing's 777X development program and the EU argues amounts to an entire publicly funded free aircraft program for Boeing"

Scarcity is imposed by physics. Energy is conserved, entropy increases. Even if we realized the wildest extropian dreams and moved all intelligent life into efficient simulations, physics still dictates that every non-reversible computation creates entropy.

A homeless person in the US today has universally better prospects than 99% of the population a thousand years ago; better than all of them in many ways. It’s impossible to starve in a first world country. Even the poorest of the poor are jacked into the global communication network. Necessary survival goods are non-scarce. Are we satisfied? No, we want more. As productive capacity increases, our definition of non-scarcity becomes more and more demanding. I don’t see why this would stop if the only commodity left was mass-energy.
wasm is an MVP, they fully intend to add DOM support: http://webassembly.org/docs/future-features

Its just that implementing the DOM requires a lot of other (complex) things
1. Stable JS object ABI
2. Integration with the GC garbage collector
3. Better integration with modules

Personally, I'm hoping that we actually get a lower-level subset of the DOM apis that doesn't rely on as many OO features so we can bind to it easier, and avoid more DOM manipulation overhead (though I have no idea what this would look like).
