I've been checking out link.fish for a while now - awesome product! My interest is in scraping real estate websites and it seems to do quite a good job with many of the sites I've tried.
Already mentioned by others but I suggest

1. Concentrate on a specific segment (like real estate)
2. Consider a browser extension (helps mitigate problem of too many requests coming from one central server)

I have long planned on building an open source real estate website scraper but just haven't found the time to do it.
My approach is to not depend on 3rd party services at all, because I want to be relatively well-assured that whatever I create will still work 10 years later or more without any modifications beyond security updates.
The problem is that its a digital prison for normal people. If there is no cash then bank accounts, CC and transactions should be free, as cash is free itself. But they are not. It's just a money making machine for banks and CC companies.
Furthermore if people want to hide something they'll manage, especially if it about big money.
In fairness they had a permit the other group didn't and the city put in place a permit system to deal with these issues.

If that happened in a less high profile city the other party would be the one who was assigned blame. There are only so many soccer fields here if people started to ignore the permit system it would make it more unfair to the more disadvanged groups.
Because a corporation is not a person? It's a collection of individuals, and if you are taxing all of the individuals fairly why do you need to tax the collective as well?
You remember the semantic web and what it was supposed to accomplish (...describing and linking every entity possible to create a new concept of understanding and knowledge utilization in the digital space)? It was all the rage ~8 years ago and mostly flopped.

Capsules are kind of like that effort, for the current AI push. They're meant to make it possible to understand smaller entities and how they pertain to a larger more complex entity. The smaller entities can inform as to the identity of the larger entity (particularly in combination, and increase or decrease accuracy depending on the combination), without having to have a perfect or clear picture of that larger entity.

In the semantic web, a complex entity might be cross-linked to a dozen or several dozen smaller entities that help describe the larger entity. With enough of the smaller entities (attributes of the larger entity) you could map and narrow down what the larger entity possibilities are.
Any distributed relational database, especially with compressed columnstores, will be better than any existing timeseries specific database.

Timescale, Citus, PipelineDB = postgres based but no columnstores. MemSQL, MariaDB, ClickHouse = with columnstores.
The thermostats made by Radio Thermostat have a local API. You can find their units at hardware stores like Home Depot.

Really? Uber isn't a thing? All the scandals about terrible sexually charged behavior and aggressive "bro" behavior aren't real?

They really exist.
This is just downright false. There is an entire field inside the tax world called transfer pricing. You cannot just transfer significant IP to a foreign entity for $1 and expect that you will only need to pay tax on that $1. The IRS will come up with its own determination of what the value of the transferred asset is if it disagrees with your valuation and assess taxes based upon that. Now companies and the IRS frequently disagree on what the value should be and do end up in court. Law firms have teams of in-house economists to build defensible models of what the value of the transferred asset should be. Additionally the OECD has issued significant guidance on the topic.
the IE monopoly did stifle web development for yonks! If they weren't forced to drop IE from being pre-installed, i'd say web development would've still be lagging behind today.

Yes. Reading a story to a child is an inherently moderated experience. If the child gets scared, you can stop reading. You can also filter out inappropriate content in real time—some of the Andrew Lang fairy tale collections for example have racist language and anti-Semitic content.

Reading is active while watching video is passive. You have to work your way through a text, instead of mindlessly letting a weird video play on to see what's next. Reading requires more motivation and interest in the material.

Lastly, the main issue the author identifies is how cheaply-produced and algorithmically-generated video content will necessarily generate weird and disturbing content in a way that doesn't occur with authored books. The author is most disturbed by videos that are not human-led, or where machines are splicing together human-led content with parodies and gross-out videos.

You can tell a lot about a company by their attitude on this. The fact that "you should let your users have freedom" is still a controversial statement in those type of companies should tip you off as to how they treat their customers.

Also, the fact that we still often have to use "open source" as a euphemism for "free software" in these type of situations illustrates the point even further. Freedom or liberty does not matter to these companies. It's not even about money or greed to them as they often give away their software/services without charging. All they care about is establishing complete control and dominance of the market.
Interesting point you make there.

What I was trying to get across that it is quite inspiring that he did not let rejection faze him. Many people get dismayed by their first rejection, which is often the hardest.

I get the point you're making about Netscape's situation though. There is no way they could've foreseen what Musk was going to do.

Btw, he did say it, there's an interview.

So I watched a few minutes into this, Brian, and it seems to me that either an expert system, or some form of rudimentary AI, that observes the monitoring system can be the driver of an intelligent alerting system. In other words, it seems 'alerts' are, in the final analysis, the higher value proposition.

And I fully agree with you: it really is a waste of talent to have engineers glued to screens watching graphs.
I always wonder how easily "the whole industry" tacitly agreed it's a good thing because of caching. Nowadays nobody sits down and calculates the weights of benefits and disadvantages, most people are just using CDNs because practically everyone else is doing just that.
When you say "they are making money", who do you mean exactly?

A company is a collection of individuals and in the case of a public corporation, shareholders. Are not all of these participants paying their fair share of taxes?

The employees pay income tax, the shareholders should be paying taxes on dividends or capital transactions or what not.
Yes that appendix is not to be missed. Also clicking on an image goes deeper into an exhaustive catalog of each layer, which is an amazing and huge resource.
There are plenty of ways you could do that. Off the top of my head: Every video-posting account must be validated with, e.g., a credit card. New accounts have clear posting limits. Accounts behaving badly get charged for cleanup. If you want to get paid by YouTube you have to go through an extensive validation process, including background check. If you are found to be abusing the platform, money will be clawed back, and if you can't prove sufficient resources to handle a clawback, you instead have to post a bond or find an insurer who will guarantee you.

Sure, some videos may go to another platform. And for most things, that'd be fine. A lot of videos people post on YouTube are just accidentally hosted there, and would be just as good posted on, e.g., Facebook, Twitter, or another personal account provider. But there's a whole class of garbage that YouTube has because one way or another it allows people to get paid. That garbage is a negative externality on the rest of us, and there's no particular reason for us to allow YouTube to profit from it.

Exactly. So why the double taxing?

Basically the implication is that we should tax people more when they act as part of a productive collective (corporation), which to me seems counterintuitive.
Some TVs you can disable the power on feature specifically without disabling CEC completely. I have the option to do so on both my Samsung TVs and my LG one too.
Is there any behavior that you wish you did more often or more regularly? Going to the gym? Driving more carefully? Taking a moment to center yourself?

We're actively working on all of those. I don't think it's possible to pretend that these techniques don't exist. So instead we're flamboyantly advertising that they can be used for good.

What behaviors do you wish you did more of or did more regularly?
How about browser updates? I'm not sure it's feasible to expect any webpage to look identical 10 years from now without any kind of maintenance.
Technically true, but practically worthless.

>I don't want to buy into a single IoT thing which depends on a cloud-component in order to work.

I agree but in some cases, you end up with such a restrictive product because it's part of a system package.

For example, I recently bought a new Trane air conditioner system and it comes with a fancy system controller.[1] It has wifi so Trane promotes the capability for you to control the temperature remotely from your smartphone. Well, the IoT rub is that it requires the cloud for that capability. When I first heard that explained to me by the installer, I had to have him repeat it twice because it didn't make any sense.

"You mean my iPhone that's on wifi doesn't communicate with this thermostat that's on the same wifi -- directly? You mean the thermostat app on my iPhone has to send the "increase temperature" command out of the house to the mothership cloud, and then round trip back to my thermostat?!? Yes, that's how it works." That's crazy -- If the internet is down, my iPhone can't control the thermostat that's 10 feet away!

Needless to say, I just forego the smartphone remote app and simply walk up to the thermostat and change the settings on the wall.

Thanks for the love and critique. Issues are love too: https://github.com/ibm/type/issues/new

Some things to keep in mind:

— v1 will not be released until early next year. We published publicly so it is easy for teams to test and give feedback.

— The documentation site was a quickfix and will merge into a silky smooth GatsbyJS site later. Give that project some love at https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby

— We are constantly making breaking changes until v1 based on font-loading performance, design specs, and more
In Boston at least, when my friends are acquaintances are discussing places to work, how "tech bro-y" a place is comes up a lot. Some people like that environment and some hate it but I've definitely heard phrases like, "I interviewed there, one of the guys was alright but the rest we're tech bros"

I wasn't able to find a cloud-less home automation solution. Ended up going the semi-DIY route and installed Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi. It's not plug and play, but it beats having to rely on some cloud solution that'll disappear whenever the manufacturer feels like it.
That's why this tech it's still not safe to use.

Imagine someone sending $100.000 of his hard earned money and from loans to pay for his daughter operation and this gets lost because of a bug and a developer in panic mode!
You don't even need an international agreement - each country should just tax the shit out of any outgoing capital movement if based on any sort of licensing.

This would likely have the positive side-effect of protecting smaller national brands from foreign competition, but might make the country less appealing to foreign investors, so it can't be done willy-nilly - but it's the only way. This is not unlike what China does - money goes in but it's not allowed to go out.
Ad-hominem much? Your response is straight out of the trumpist playbook. You're attacking the news paper for telling a story instead of disputing the alleged facts in the story.

People may not use "tech bros" all the time,does not mean the reported sentiment in the article is false.

Sillicon valley is selling out it's own consumers,even when they pay up. This condescending attitude towards "users" and "consumers" is at the heart of it all in my opinion.
How could one write 64px red bold underlined "DO NOT REBOOT THE WEBSERVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" with this?
I have to disagree here : based in France, I sometimes do business in Belgium and I have to declare and pay VAT to Belgium for sales made there, while deducing the taxes paid locally to Belgium counterparts. That's the spirit of the law. But when you build an artificial business construct whose sole aim is to move earnings from a country to another while creating an artificial debt within an entity in a business group, just not to pay taxes, I don't see how it can be described by anything other than "Breaking the spirit of the law".
I do know this is legal, but that only respects the letter of the law, not the spirit of it. The spirit of the free movements of items and people in Europe is made to promote trade and sales, not to promote the movement of money in order to evade taxes (that's actually the spirit of the tax heaven territories).

In my view, the real problem when you do not respect the spirit of the law is that you do not respect the people themselves, even if you're not doing anything illegal. And I fear that some of those people, when they learn of another case like this one in 6 months, one year or two years, could consider using violence. In the past, several terrorist groups had targeted economic or corporate symbols (the Baader group for example), so we shouldn't forget histoire. These affairs will feed those enclined to follow that path again, but against what are now documented possibilities. That is why the states across the world need to act: it is not only about getting countries' money back, it is also to avoid future violence.
This seems more about capacity planning your application when running in the cloud.

I was hoping for some insight when you're hosting your own private cloud, that seems quite a bit more tricky. It's easy to prepare to scale up/down your deployment when all the hardware is already there, but when you're the one running the actual cloud and need to do the same, you can't just do an API call and suddenly have another 100 U of servers and switches racked, cabled and provisioned.

Still a nice article though!
I suspect its probably not even meant to be road legal - like the Sesto Elemento.

It's hard to identify a person when the set of possible values is "every person on the planet" and not "one of these few persons". They could detect if the uploaded looks like one of the uploader's Facebook friends, I suppose, and that would probably be useful.

What would they do if they detect a possible match, though? Ask the person they think is in the photo "is this you, are you ok with John Doe sending this photo to Jane?". That could lead to trouble when the system gives false positives.
Speed, I imagine, both fewer resources to download, saving bandwidth and time and maybe less processing to do for display, too? I'm not sure about the latter, but the former, I've seen for sure. Much quicker text draw without Google fonts on my mobile.
Yes. Peppa Pig looks OK. The problem is if YouTube recommends or continues on to a video where a machine splices Peppa Pig with parody videos and gross-out videos and genuinely weird and disturbing stuff.

The problem isn't merely that that this stuff exists, but that it YouTube is recommending and autoplaying it.

I'd need someone to explain why they'd be better than a REIT from an organization like Vanguard or TIAA-CREF.
You're going out of your way to paint Google's arguments in the worst, malicious light.

Their interest in caching is not to save their own bandwidth costs, but to lower costs and load times for users. Google's efforts in the web performance space are well documented (see lighthouse as one example).

The reasoning for "only the latest version" also happens to be the only one that makes sense: having multiple versions of each font drastically reduces the ability of browsers and CDNs to cache, quite obviously.

The motive you ascribe to google, namely user tracking, has absolutely no logical connection to the "latest version only" practice: Google's ability to track users would actually be enhanced by versioning, because their servers are only ever contacted for uncached resources.

Well if this isn't the most validating and ringing endorsement of privately-hosted, open source home automation stuff like Home Assistant [1], I don't know what is. I rigged it with $2 of infrared LED transmitters and receivers hooked to my raspberry pi and automated my TV, stereo, and air conditioner [2]. I am so glad I did this now. I think there is big business, on the order of a full-on electrician, in going around and setting up Home Assistant, some zwave stuff, some IR stuff, etc. in people's homes.

I don't use the smart features of any tv either, mostly because the smarts evolve faster than my tv will and I'd rather just plug them into the TV, or through a receiver.
Non-smart TVs are mostly inferior panels now, as I understand it.
>... if those tax reduction schemes are legal many companies are legally bound by their stock holders to exploit them, or else be found negligent in their duties.

That's not the case. There is no way a company's management could be sued for "gross negligence in tax planning".

If shareholders are unhappy about this issue, their recourse is the same one that's always available to them: elect a new Board of Directors and hire new management that will follow the board's guidance on tax evasion schemes.

it would be difficult, every state has different requirements and they'd have to have a pharmacist licensed in every state to fill the rx. What they'd probably do is buy up a central fill facility in every state and hope the pharmacists who work there choose to stay (pharmacists are in short supply). Also, i'm not sure how they'd handle scheduled prescriptions ( like oxy ). At least in Texas those have to be reported to the state and e-prescribing is difficult so most patients end up with a physical scheduled rx that can't be scanned/faxed in, the pharmacist has to collect the original.
I don’t think when people say “tech bro” they mean executive (who happens to work at a tech company). They have been known sociopaths since the term existed.

Instead, “tech bro” is supposed to mean some mythical programmer-douchey guy. I’m sure there are people like that but not at the scale where it matters or implicates all developers as an occupation.

It's still going to be the more flexible browser. It already supports webextension APIs that Chrome doesn't, with more on the roadmap.

Of course it still pales in comparison to what you could do with XUL, but the point remains. Firefox addons will still be more capable than Chrome ones.
For me no incentive to switch from Chrome. I am a bit lazy and if not broken why increase hassle in switching. Plus when did a while back just switched back to chrome when FF became sluggish.
