And then suddenly I got 30Go of cache on my hard drive because of all the sites that are so smart. And limiting the size of it will just render it useless as everybody will just tried to add to it, erasing the existing cache.

But even without that, then chances that you have exactly the same build than somebody else in cache is very weak unless it's very popular. And to get it popular means a lot of people has to download it, taking the several Mo hit download on first load. And most users will just quit the page before that, thinking it doesn't work.

The solution would be for browsers to stop the madness and decide by community to adopt a new standard with a decent language for the web. Be it Ruby, Lua, Python, at this point I don't care. I'm partial to Python, but I won't fight for it if it means I can get anything with a real stdlib, good builtins, namespaces and a readable syntax.

This is pretty cool. If the main interface here is to allow you to right click and transform the text though, does this require permissions to read and change all data on all your pages? Can the right click menu not only look at just the highlighted portion? Permissions feel excessive, but not sure if this is the only way based on how Chrome enables it.
I don't understand why companies are still trying to bring people in the US to work for them. What's the point for the employer? How about investing overseas and training people here to handle remote offices? That's where we failed in the past... because it was too hard to manage and would require spending extra money to fix the mess. So we all decided to bring everyone in-house which is obviously a much bigger issue. I think we should invest more time in building infrastructures in other countries in order to create top of the line working places outside of the US. This would probably end up costing less and would help hiring way more people.

Again, create new positions in the US like a "Remote Office Manager" and build kick ass campuses in India, China, Europe, etc.

The whole immigration thing would be totally obsolete... I mean, we will be able to travel to Mars soon... why can't we even manage remote employees in 2017?
I've used FB ads before for business purposes and I feel its a lot more accessible to SMBs than your standard advertising agency or news media group where you have to phone up, wait for a quote and then have not-so-transparent results where you have to be constantly in touch with the news media group/agency.

FB ads is definitely improvement in terms of the time spent and approachability, cost on the other hand depends on how effective your marketing is so its definitely more variable.

Is there something wrong with OES or SCA? How exactly?
The self driving (small)cars will almost be gone from every motorway within 20 years is my prediction. They will be replaced by self driving busses, trains and boats combined with a smart docking system where you automatically change “vehicle” at speed. This way we can travel at a fraction of the cost/emissions. We will se the first docking system on highway within 10 years, and the first prototypes within 5.
I can give you one example where something like that happened.

All of our services use credstash to store secrets. We use KMS in order to encrypt, decrypt the secrets and when the app loads we load all the secrets into memory.

There was a major change to cryptography that caused credstash to break and in turn break a large set of our services.

This PR [1] was submitted by one of the engineers to force the lower version to credstash and we opened the dependencies again to reload credstash on all services.

The process to track it down and fix it took about an hour and all services were building correctly again.

We make a very conscious choice to break those things in real time and deal with them rather than hiding them behind locked dependencies you simply never upgrade.

This might just be lacking knowledge of how the aerospace industry works. NASA wanted reusable commercial rockets, it got what it wanted. They create contracts to design things, contracts to develop demonstrators, contracts to fly blocks of missions.

It's not very likely for any aerospace contractor to turn down work because it's structured in a way that avoids risks. The NASA contract isn't for only the final results, they pay the R&D costs. The first round might be a competition to design a reusable launch system. You get paid for designing, it's NASA's ambition, you're just implementing it (and trying to implement it better than the other guy).

ULA might not have ever taken the initiative itself, but if NASA wants to pay them to design a flying pig, they'll be happy to do it.

This is how government programs work contracting to the public sector, the motivation for cheaper reusable launches has existed for a very long time. Reusability was a primary design motivation that led to the space shuttle. Lessons learned pointed in a different direction than a space plane for the next iterations and difficulties developing things in house led to the commercial motivation.

Even with a user mode debugger, those APIs aren't hard to thwart in x86 Windows. I don't know if that's really still the case with newer architectures; the last version of Windows I used was Windows 7.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10330147/how-do-i-bypass...

Even if that weren't the case, it's not a big feat to run a Windows program with a version of Kernel32.dll that has isdebuggerpresent as a no-op.

If I recall correctly, you only needed to take those measures if you were trying to modify a program that extracted itself into memory where it would be particularly difficult to "debug". Otherwise you could create bypasses for those API calls using just a disassembler. My memory on this is pretty rusty, though.

My guess is that API doesn't exist so much to discourage reverse engineering as it is to prevent certain code from executing if a debugger is being used legitimately, or to provide extra data to a debugger. It is(or at least was) used as a way to make reverse engineering difficult, but it's very ineffective.
IMO and as other outlets have stated I don't think they planned to release the X this year. You can tell a lot of this just by the way the software feels like it has been shoehorned in to work e.g. swipe down from the right for Control Center, swipe down from the left for notifications.

Sounds like a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to provide those services and make lots of money.

> As for bartering being taxable, I wonder how employee-only discounts at retail establishments work? Is the discount amount taxable (or should it be taxable)?

I just looked this up on the IRS Employer's Tax Guide to Fringe Benefits [1], and it looks like only discounts on products that are less than gross profit margin are income tax exempt. E.g, if you sell a Widget for $10 and make $2 profit on every sale, you can provide a $2 discount to the employee, and then deduct that $2 from the employee's wages.

Furthermore, employees that are 5% owners or that make more than $120,000 are unable to claim any employee discount deduction.

The original JS borrowed heavily from Scheme (lisp1 + everything evaluatable) and Self (prototype model of inheritance) and then was covered with a bunch of Java-like nonsense, which (IMO) just made things more complex.

There's been a nice functional language buried in JS all this time. It's still buried in there someplace.
"pays the taxes here"

Not just taxes. They also pay for social security even though they don't get anything from it. If that is not enough, they also have to pay tax for the income they get in their parent country while they are in US. I get paying US taxes, but why pay tax for income that has nothing to do with US?

We can retrain and redistribute resources to them, but for some reason the people who are most concerned about short term profits are the least willing to share them with others.

You might like to ruminate on teh fact that while Trump demonizes immigrants out of one side of his mouth, the resort he owns at Mar-A-Lago- was able to get 70 H1-B visas to hire hotel staff, despite the availability of some 5000 such people in Florida's state employment opportunities database and a whole lot of US citizens in Puerto Rico that are in search of economic opportunity right about now. Not that you were making a partisan point, but this is a great example of how the rhetorical divisions in American politics do not line up with the business practices.

- Supposedly new Estonian IDs use ECC rather than RSA, but some articles seem to be confusing whether the once-vulnerable-but-now-regenerated IDs use ECC as well. I don't think that's possible, as the smart-card hardware doesn't appear to support it. Does an ECC key require new hardware for pre-November 2017 cards?

- For those of you who have been following Estonian ID technology for a while, why didn't they use regular OpenPGP cards that would enable cardholders to use ordinary PGP/GPG clients? Did the Estonian standard predate the OpenPGP standard? Or were there technical reasons the Estonian government needed something else?
This is why Rust is so promising. The problem at Apple / MS / Linux / etc is they are massive houses built on bare foundations. Everything traces its roots back to C, and back to exploitative vulnerabilities in the code. Rust itself is not close to safe since it depends on LLVM which itself can be a source of myriad bugs related to C++.

But its proving in my experience to be a much more practical foundation, and going forward there is a lot of value in that.
I think you're right that handling catastrophic failure is the key question for a hosted ledger. You have to find a way for the network to agree on who will rehydrate the balances, so to speak, into a replacement host, and you need to do it quickly. The whole network has to agree on this.

This isn't impossible to solve. You can establish, in the ledger itself, the process for migration after a catastrophic failure. You can set a party which will mediate the issue and decide on the solution. You set up rules for how to reconfigure the network, and trigger them when a corruption proof is published.

I agree it's less elegant than what decentralized consensus provides for handling bad nodes, but you really have to balance this against the expenditure of proof-of-work. The cost of a handling every ledger failure ever will almost certainly be less than the cost of proof-of-work.

Part of my point is also that it's a gamble, which I find questionable, that Bitcoin will become "the blockchain" in the future, because it still has a political reality, and that political reality has involved plenty of forks. So, my point is, between the cost and the political instability, PoW doesn't sustain it's claim.
How do you import Keras from TensorFlow instead of from the Keras standalone itself? Just substitute tf.keras where appropriate?
Yes we are
With the following caveat, I'll bite: "Not available in adverse weather conditions or outside service zones". Said service zones wouldn't include anyplace where increased crime is a concern.

The cars would also probably have to be inspected and possibly cleaned between each use...

I'm also uncertain the tech is advancing quickly enough to justify a 5 year timeline. Not to mention ensuring society and the government is onboard with this. It would suck to be stuck in an automated car by a picket line of displaced drivers.

I don't think so;

Perhaps that's open to interpretation, but I took it to mean, why are staying if they can't afford to?

1. Everything other than foot soldiers are robotic. They are called "Zealots" for a good reason. Why risk your life when the bots can do all the killing while you sit back and eat popcorn?

2. Your foot soldiers don't just "die" --- their armor units each have a built-in teleportation gadget that bails them out when they got critically wounded.

3. They then go back to their homeworld, where they get converted to mind-in-a-tank cyborgs (which is responsible for the "hydraulic fluid" you see when a Dragoon dies).

So yeah, no bleeding (or rather gore) in theory.

This will basically kill all immigration. Employers have to go through a LOT to hire an immigrant, and I almost feel sorry to ask an employer to file an H1 transfer. They have to hire an army of lawyers and pay steep fees to file all the paperwork and go through a process when it comes to green card. If you ask them to pay a lot, they will just hire somewhere else.
I seem to remember that typora works that way.
Hot stuff champ, pulling the old white nationalist insult sure shut down the conversation didn't it.

I guess you will sit in your camp and I will sit in mine; no reason to have a civil discussion about the complex topic of immigration.
That was poetically agressive. I recommend checking out Strong Towns. Across our shifting political and geographic spectrum folks are looking at 2 phenomena that landed Americans in peculiar distributions. First, Eisenhower era highway building. Even early suburbanization was under panic defense logistics influence. Second was supersizing suburbia with white flight overlapping deindustrialization. We need not moralize to calculate the engineering of that with calculable overlapping downstream costs and grim actuarial funding pictures. Those narratives overlap generations kicked off farms into those cities not long ago.

North Americans who buy homes move every 7 years on average. We have troubles building value in places where people stay over generations to enjoy it. Even educators are learning that "tickets out" is too abstract a target to motivate remote kids to study in schools. We inherited our little patches of planet and histories, but we should not normalize our current widespread displacements. Folks are migrating to specific places for different reasons we can examine on maps. Other folks in tons of places have troubles making a go of where they are for reasons we understand and cannot fix. [Edit: grammar]
> White females are still eligible

Ok, great, just not white males. Half of the white population. Also, this shows contempt and disregard for the concept of a stay-at-home mother. Women in the workplace are great - but this entire scheme/system destroys values the West was built upon.

> most of the wealth in this country is controlled by white families

I doubt this is true anymore, and even if there are wealthy white families, your sentiment is utter disregard for those who are merely average or low-income. An average-income white father earning a modest living will have a hell of a time raising a family - meanwhile low-income blacks are paid to reproduce and get shoved into the finest institutions at tax payer expense at comparative advantage with padded SAT scores. Do you not see the hypocrisy? That isn't equal opportunity, it's an attempt at forcing an equal outcome.

Do you have much experience in taking a look who is playing your slot machines?

I mean do you really go to places and check it out for a few hours?

Here in germany there are small casinos. Not real casinos but with a few machines like 5-20.

I went to such a place because there was a pool table in thenext room. I saw, while playing pool, how a few people used multil machines at once, feed those machines 10Euros and more (around 11$) in a quick feshion.

Do you think, that those people, who play on a saturday afternoon enjoying this? i mean do you really think "yes the experience im providing for them through my job is is an activity they enjoy and the enjoyment stands in relation to the amount of money they are spending".

I only thought "holy shit, poor people, throwing there hard earned money away" I felt sorry for those people. so sry that i was thinking if or how i could approach them.

My pool table for 2 hours and 4-5 drinks was cheaper of what one person was putting in those machines.

I think they are addicted.

>publicly funded entities should not give benefit and preferential treatment to private and proprietary enterprises and systems.

It wouldn't be a "gift" from the USPS. It would be a mutually beneficial financial contract. (E.g. 5 year
multi-million dollar contract to mount Google cameras.)

Similar to how private events pay the government for extra police officers to direct traffic or supplement security. Or how the Pentagon charged the Top Gun film production $25,000 to turn an aircraft carrier around.[1] Government entities have set the precedent that they will sell services to private companies.

The citizens' access to the USPS photos would a given and be part of the contract.

For home prices: Tech companies pay high wages, and can afford to follow cost-of-living increases (and have to, because demand for tech employees in SV is higher than the supply). Home prices go up because NIMBYism won't allow housing supply to increase along with demand.

If someone needs a security guard, they'll pay the least that gets them someone competent to do the work. For the employer, the question isn't directly connected to the standard of living, it's "can I get a body in the door for this rate of pay?" I'd suspect the pay won't go up, as long as the answer's "yes".

In china I didn’t own a car, it was about 2X the cost to buy one (for what I wanted() vs. the USA, plus parking was a PITA in a city like Beijing where it was often illegal (parking in the second lane each way of a 4 lane street). In many places, car ownership and use fees are a lot more than the USA, but somehow taxis are very reasonable as alternatives.

Having move back, I now own a car that I have to fill up with gas once every couple of months (I don’t drive it much, but with a baby uber isn’t an option)
> You can filter using the category filter. Link bellow is for design jobs.

Right, "developer jobs" wasn't an accurate description. There still seems to be a narrow focus, though. I mean, what about finance, medicine, chemistry, carpentry, etc? Is that outside the scope or is it coming?
> It has technical merits -- it makes it easier to deal with a host that breaks the contract, because there are lots of nodes, so you just 'route around' the faulty host's output

How do you decide whether a host is faulty unless there’s consensus on what constitutes non-faulty? And how do you reach this agreement in a distributed manner without distributed consensus?

You can’t switch away from a bad actor in a decentralized system unless you have a decentralized way to establish who’s a bad actor.

There's a tendency to think that the world would be different without "revolutionary" people or companies, but usually what ends up happening is just being at the right place at the right time.

Usually what ends up happening? That comment would be credible if you have some kind of ability to re-run reality removing historically key players to see what would happen.

Personally, I've seen software development organizations flounder and some succeed dramatically despite their having similar equipment, availability of resources, snacks in the break room, etc. The difference all came down to a few key developers who drove things forward.
