There needs to be rules, there needs to be consistency. Which more or less means my kind of story has to masquerade as some kind of realism. So ... science fiction of the reasonably hardboiled kind, certain kinds of mainstream literature - doesn't need much of a plot if it's worth reading for the humour and the language. I do read some stuff considered de rigueur in nerdy circles. Neal Stephenson yes, as in Cryptonomicon and Baroque Cycle (but - you guessed it - disliked Snow Crash enough never to finish it, and found REAMDE tacky and movie scriptish). Heinlein, Gregs Bear and Benford, that kind of stuff. Quite a few British writers, as long as they're not Tolkien og Lewis.

I should probably escort myself out of here. I never did get into computer games either...
We do, and that's wrong; there shouldn't be any protected classes. You don't get to a place of treating people fairly by specifically protecting certain classes of people, that's the same irrational logic that led to nonsense legal racism we call affirmative action.
>On-demand (Netflix, Hulu, HBO's online thingy, iPlayer, what have you) has been the most effective way to actually recover rights-holder revenues.

Are they though? Only 2 out of 49 million HBO subscribers are HBO Now users. And Americans still pirate HBO content in large numbers.

People are canceling $100/month revenue cable plans and getting $10 netflix. That's a large loss of revenue.

It's not clear to me that streaming can actually support the television ecosystem we have now.
When these kinds of things come up there's often complaint that desktop apps running in the browser are inefficient. As it happens, I agree. An old favourite of mine, Adium, probably never used 600 MB because I'm pretty sure my PowerBook G4 had less RAM than that.

But I think it's a mistake to jump to the conclusion that these apps should be written in a native framework rather than a web view. Slack is doing much more than Adium: web previews, document previews, pulling in pre-rendered fragments from the server and modular stylesheets. I wonder how much RAM Adium would have used to do the same things, and I wonder how much time the developers of an equivalent cross-platform app would have spent if they had been split trying to optimise lots of different platforms. They would essentially be re-inventing a modular layout and rendering engine (aka a web browser).

I don't know what the answer is. Maybe the detractors would prefer that the app did less. I know I'd prefer not to have previews and emojis, but I'm sure my colleagues find them useful.

(EDIT: Per reply below, turns out Adium did use a web view for presentation!)
Search for the term: "Display Bias" in the context of Airline GDS's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_distribution_system)

```A global distribution system (GDS) is a network operated by a company that enables automated transactions between travel service providers (mainly airlines, hotels and car rental companies) and travel agencies. Travel agencies traditionally relied on GDS for services, products & rates in order to provision travel-related services to the end consumers. A GDS can link services, rates and bookings consolidating products and services across all three travel sectors: i.e., airline reservations, hotel reservations, car rentals.```

https://www.tnooz.com/article/american-airlines-sues-sabre-o...

http://fortune.com/2016/12/21/american-airlines-15-million-a...

```The case concerned fees that Sabre and other travel reservation systems collect from airlines to display flights for booking.

At trial, Chuck Diamond, a lawyer for American Airlines, contended that Sabre used its power in the industry to “bully” airlines into paying unfair fees and signing unfair contracts that suppress competition and maintain its position.

The lawsuit claimed that provisions of a 2011 contract between US Airways and Sabre, including those governing what fares the airline makes available to a computerized network by Sabre used by travel agents, harmed competition.

The airline also contended that Sabre conspired with its competitors to not compete with each other for airline content like flight and fare information at the expense of consumers and innovation.```

...it sounds an awful lot _EXACTLY_ like this topic of discussion.

Where do I start to know more about this? I dont want it to stress me out though, Im not so risk adverse when it comes to my finance. I spend very little, but I want to learn more about investing.

“exhaustiveness checking”: automatically making sure that we’ve covered all of the possible cases anywhere that we interact with a piece of data [1]

Typescript doesn’t do that.

There’s a way to manually force exhaustive checking with discriminating unions: https://github.com/basarat/typescript-book/blob/master/docs/...

However, it’s a manual workaround.

SSH has a Socks compliant proxy built in. That said, you are right, you are basically shifting responsibility to the SSH server you are connecting to so you have to trust it the same way you would a VPN provider. As such, it’s essentially the exact same and so GP was clearly misguided.

Not to be one of those guys, buuuut... using T-Mobile as a carrier, the 8plus with 256GB is $949 and the X is $1149, which is 21% increase. You're still sepending around a grand though so I see your point.

I appreciate your reply. Thanks!
2018’s iPhones Expected to Stick with the Same Face ID Sensors

I keep my entire music collection on my phone, and my 128 GB 6S is tapped out (almost entirely music). That requires me to do some storage juggling every time I want to update. So I'll probably buy one for the bump to 256 GB alone. Double the storage should last me for quite awhile.

The other features are largely irrelevant (except perhaps the inductive charging), but I'll get the X instead of the 8 because it will be 3-4 years before I update again.

For what it's worth, the 6S's 128 GB and bump to 2 GB RAM (making Safari usable again on JavaScript-clogged sites) were what motivated me to buy that one. The X, incidentally, bumps that again to 3 GB. The 8 remains at 2.

I have ceased entirely. All product categories. For most of late 2016 I played the annoying game of "would some really counterfeit this product?", which usually ended in a stalemate.

First I stopped buying anything that goes in my body.

Then I stopped buying anything that goes on my body.

Then electronics.

Finally, sometime early this year when I caught myself pondering whether paper cat litter pellets might be dangerous if counterfeit... I just realized it was time to stop.

Until they show they care about this, I'm Amazon-free. It's nice, I'm walking more than I used to and it feels good.

Chief on my mind would be the issue of trust. Your traffic is coming out of the VPN node unencrypted. They could snoop you, MITM you, basically anything. So, who do you trust more? Your ISP or a mysterious VPN service probably in Russia that you learned about yesterday?

I figure my ISP is quite likely to sell my data and do other unfriendly things. But I figure they are quite unlikely to attack my traffic and do other illegal things.
And that may be how I go, but for now I have no need to upgrade. iOS 11 hasn't given me any of the issues on the 6S Plus other people talk about (perhaps because I use my iPhone in a more limited capacity than many other people).
Its a nice user-friendly app, works well on all my stuff. Using it on linux took a bit of manual setup, but their instructions worked. I'm a customer, and I would recommend it. I outsourced my trust in them to DDG. Hopefully they didn't steer me wrong there.

Downside is that it basically only works per device. It doesn't run on any routers that I know, to get full coverage over your network traffic.
What if I want to run my own custom Python server code...say I have some Cythonized modules or C extensions. Do you guys support this model?

I don't see any harassment in anything he wrote. Here's what I see: Web Summit is next week, and Mark has made his case to the hackathon organizers that he should get the tickets and booth since he was actually on the team, and Kim doesn't want them. Kim, apparently out of spite, would prefer that the tickets go to some unrelated person she chooses.

Now she's taking this dispute public. She hasn't named Mark yet, but people can deduce it. Does Mark want to wind up like any of the dozens of alleged perpetrators of sexual harassment and sexual assault that have been called out of the past two weeks? If not, he should let this thing drop and let her get her way. Kim is the real bully here.

If I’m not mistaken, the actual chat contents in Adium were rendered with web views, and its configurable message styling was done with HTML/CSS. The whole program wasn’t stuffed in the web view though, it was a presentation layer on top of a native backend.

That, and also there are so many independent confounding factors in these comparison studies that I am not sure they can ever outperform reasoning or personal experience. The reasoning part in your comment - lowering cognitive load, faster feedback cycles (in editor, in compiler, etc.), fewer typo-induced problems - seems hard to argue with.
I think this article is really helpful when deciding to use a nascent technology (Electron) in production- pretty cool you can create a desktop app with javascript, but at the same time, expect to do a lot of custom bug fixing and hope that there aren't issues in the core code (note: there always are) =D

How often do you find that your AWS IP is blocked, or that you need to bypass a captcha? I would think that AWS would be a major source of scrapers and other traffic that a site might not want and might choose to block. I know that Cloudflare offers to block "suspicious" traffic, which would seem likely to include traffic coming from an AWS server rather than an ISP.
OK, then I choose to specialise to the type Double!

It's not a great solution as what you save in money, you spend in time on training, explaining design decisions, helping when things go wrong, and finally cleaning up their code/bugs once done. Since you are already strapped for time, this is not optimal.

If you do go the jr dev route, it's best to shy away from an hourly rate, simply because they can take so much longer to complete a task, they can end up costing as much as a senior dev, but for 10x the time and half the quality. Fixed bid per task/objective/milestone is the way to go.

I've had much better luck just finding offshore senior devs on Upwork.

I don't think financial security is as tied to your independent actions as you seem to think. No matter how frugal you are, the best option for financial security is investing in the infrastructure and community you live in.

I don't know how much money you have, but if you or your family had a life-long expensive disease, can you say that given the current medical coverage offered at the current prices, you would be financially secure?

It's not a criticism to your ability to save or manage your money. Please dont' take it that way :)
There's a massive gap between the pirate service and the "legitimate" media service.

For one, you can just type something in, and get the movie you want. You don't have to navigate between 15 different services, and then find out the film is only available on mail-order DVD, or in other countries.

For television, the networks are HORRIBLE about providing their content to cord-cutters. Want to watch the latest episode of Mr. Robot, which airs on Wednesday at 10pm? You're gonna have to wait AT LEAST until 9am on Thursday morning, WITH YOUR PAID SUBSCRIPTION. Or, you can pirate it for free.

I'm not sure how many times it needs to be said, but Piracy is not a payment issue, it's an access issue.

Also, companies being greedy is a bad look. CBS hiding Star Trek behind their proprietary $10/month service is going to kill Star Trek, because the intended audience sees it as a bullshit cash grab. Put it on Hulu you greedy bastards.

>I would think the special investigation is good enough evidence that the claims of Russian cooperation are being taken seriously, no?

How would you tell the claims being taken seriously from the investigators trying to use the legal system to get dirt on Donald Trump?

At this point, the investigation has been ongoing for around 10 months, and currently they've only found anything on Paul Manafort, who was Trump's campaign manager for a few months.

The charges against Manafort are essentially failing to disclose lobbying for foreign agents, tax evasion, and money laundering [0]. The lobbying was done while Manafort was working for the Podesta Group, which was founded by Hillary Clinton's campaign manager [1].

On a side note, I find it interesting how Wikipedia doesn't have any information on Manafort's involvement with the Podesta Group.

AFAICT, in all current cases it isn't Tor itself that's been broken by the authorities. It's the client end that has been compromised; and in a way that isn't specific to Tor. Had these users been using a VPN without Tor, they could have been compromised in largely similar ways.

Please, find me a counter-example - because I haven't seen one.

Admittedly, one thing that has happened is that the authorities are able to target compromises in the Tor Browser specifically, rather than in a wider range of clients that non-Tor VPN users might use. But they're probably more vulnerable than the Tor Browser is anyway.

I started using BlackVPN about a month ago because the highly personalized ads all around the web got extremely unnerving. Having accounts with FB/AMZN type services means they'll never go away completely, but it's better than nothing.

I'm curious if anyone has any commentary on other providers worth looking into. BVPN is based in Hong Kong which has a strong history of pro-privacy AFAIK, and they claim to not even have the technical ability to keep logs of relevant info. Either way, I think I'd rather have some random Hong Kong company have my semi-anonymized info rather than my ISP.

Well, never use free VPNs!

Also, don't choose a VPN based on some online review. Most of those are basically paid advertising. Either "pay if you want a good review" or "pay more for highter rank", or stuff by independent affiliates, who get paid for referrals.

Better, choose VPNs that have been recommended by consensus in relevant communities. Torrent users. Wilders. Me ;) And by the way, I do consult for IVPN, but my opinions are otherwise unbiased.

Other pet peeve of mine is how build control-flows. Using continuations is complicated (I'm using F#) and cause a drop in performance. I wonder what else could be use that allow to make exceptions/coroutines.
