I remember the good old days when Apple made an announcement and you could head to the local Apple store that day and buy one. AirPods were worth the wait, I hope this thing is.
The "pivot to video" would explain why every third article I click from outside my usual haunts has an auto-play video at the top that follows me as I scroll down the page.

I've reached my limit; I've started blocking video CDNs with my adblocker. If there's a video I really want to watch, I'll use a different browser.
You are totally correct. My sincerest apologies!
Wow, I was going to guess that was illegal anyways, but cppref validates that behavior[0].

I don't credit Techshop for any of this success, but lore had it that Square built their prototype at Techshop.
It's just an optimization, so obviously it's not guaranteed, but that doesn't mean it's random. And if it's in your hot loop and not being optimized away, benchmarking will find it easily. At the same time, array indexing in Rust is vanishingly rare IME... turns out I only ever used it for `for` loops, which are better served by iterators. :P
I am 50 and I do OK. I also see people around my age and older who do well too. It seems to me that a lot of people who get filtered out in their 30s should never have been in the profession either for lack of motivation, interest or talent. If you are not self motivated to constantly evolve you have a problem. Moreso than in a lot of other professions.
both seem fairly important in the 40-years-ago world concerning the 't'(ape) part of tar but okay.

I use them frequently as an "rsync"-ish into the archive file, which I can then use to take point-in-time snapshot/backups.
I'd fly to Africa, walk out into a herd of Cape Buffalo, and slap one of those bastards right in the face as hard as I could. Why people want to live forever is beyond me.
I think as others have mentioned, spam is a big problem, but the more fundamental problem with this idea is supply/demand. For a sufficiently large system, the number of people that are interested in talking to person X about topic Y isn't likely to be well matched with the number of people person X is interested in talking about topic Y with.

Dating sites, while not what you want, are very illustrative. On open messaging platforms like OkCupid, in which anyone can message anyone, women are barraged with messages from men that want to talk about sex. How do you filter them out? If you do manage to filter them out, how do you surface a reasonable number of good conversation matches?

The only solution I've seen in this thread is offering opt-out. But all that's doing is offering people a way to not use a product, it's not fixing the problem.

Even relatively well funded and mature dating sites solve this by either offering finicky filter options to users, or really blunt filters (women have to initiate the conversation).
Not in my opinion. 51 here and doing better than ever. I don't know how long it will last, but the trend for me at least has been better every year for a decade or more.

I would like to get some (10%-20%) equity out of my house. Not with a loan against it but selling equity. I looked around some and this company[1] facilitates exactly this scenario. Unfortunately when I called them a few months ago they said they take 25% of the upside value and pay you only 10% of the house value. The majority owners still have to pay for/do all the maintenance. This seems like too much of a giveaway and is for people who need cash, but for some reason can't git a home equity loan.

It seems that the blockcoin space has decided that it can be used as a workaround for many financial rules, similar to how Uber/Lyft could work because calling a limo was legal and technology finally made calling a limo like hailing a cab.

I am not deep into the ICOs and blockchain tech but am quite interested in working in this space. I live and own a home in the Bay Area to possibly use as a test bed and have programming experience. I'd enjoy chatting over coffee with someone with similar interests. Username at gmail for contact.

> But then the question becomes what do these guys offer which Patreon doesnt?

Patreon censors conservatives off their platform. [Context if you don't know what I'm talking about -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofpbDgCj9rw]

To some non-trivial minority of content creators that is reason enough to not use it. As someone who makes youtube vids and is thinking about scaling a brand, I want nothing to do with a tech platform that believes it should be the sole arbiter of who can and cannot solicit p2p donations/payments for their videos. I want a politically-neutral technology / payment mechanism.

Brave seems to be more ideologically aligned with myself, so I would rather go that route. Even though the current iteration has quite a few centralized stop-gates, I think it's feasible that Brave and the BAT system could ultimately provide a way for me to monetize my video content directly from users with BAT tokens and not have to deal with Jack Conte's moral grandstanding as a single point of failure for my revenue streams.
Especially if you add "venik" to it :)
No, it's right there: iOS vs Android.
I read about this when researching meshnets about a year ago. Along similar lines, Portland has its own meshnet, but I am not sure if the project is still active.

https://portlandmeshnet.org/

So does Toronto, and some other cities I seem to be forgetting.

I find this idea really enticing, and it is a goal of mine to start a meshnet in my own city. Unfortunately, the subculture here is small and music-oriented, and the techies I know are all about business, and wouldn't be in on a project like this unless they could make significant cash. I have been offered some money to build a startup around this idea, but could find no suitable method for monetizing it that wouldn't sacrifice my ethical values and basic idea. So, one day.
The original purpose of my cell phone is that a present party can either actively initiate or accept a call, allowing a remote party to hear their words. None of these actions is hidden or disguised or can usually be enabled without my consent. Installing a software that would allow a non-present party to initiate a hidden listening connection would be illegal. Yes, such apps are available, just as the smart watches now banned were available.

Note that devices that are obviously and primarily made for recording or transmission are not affected, microphones, video cameras etc. are not illegal.
I always figured it was kinda the opposite, a GPS tracker allows a parent to feel more secure about letting the child out of their sight thus decreasing the "helicoptering". I'd be much more comfortable letting a child walk a couple 2 miles to see their friend if I know I'd be able to quickly recognize if something went wrong (i.e. the child stops moving, or starts going in the wrong direction very quickly.).

Now there is a point as the kid ages where it could get creepy but I think that really depends on you a person, if you are a generally creepy person on not. For example my family of all adults share an iTunes family account to share movies and stuff, this also lets us look at each others location via find my iphone. However this isn't a problem because not of us are creepy assholes.
You're coming at this from a SaaS point of view. Imagine if you're a rather large brand like Fedex. You can't tie your digital ads directly to a conversion because the conversion happens offline. But their advertising department is supposed to make it seem like they're spending money and driving "brand awareness". So getting fake clicks, fake ad video views -- all of that can get reported up so they can make themselves seem successful.
Well it's obvious - when it's done by someone in my income class and I expect to do it at some point in the future, it's fine and I'm already paying enough in taxes; but when it's done by someone who has more money than I do, they're thieving capitalists who should be thrown in jail.
Basically all the comments are about how this can’t be done, which aren’t super helpful. What if they created a smart contract that held a signed pdf of the title deed (turning over the property to the token-holders) in the event of default? The OP could then pay a fixed amount each month into the contract to compensate the token holders. If the OP fails to meet his monthly obligations (or whatever they are), the executed title gets sent to the token holders. As long as he pays them, they can’t access it. Thoughts?
You can buy 3-color (white, black, and read all over) ones for ... I want to say about 20 yuan which is like $3?

I haven't looked into driving them yet; that's step 3 and I'm still on step 1 (monochrome OLEDs) but I think you might have to do some funky temperature adjustment stuff to get good results out of them...maybe that hasn't quite been integrated into the display controller chips yet?

I think there is a third segment where FP fits well: large difficult problems that can afford a 10-20% performance hit.

The examples you gave of difficult problems are mostly soft realtime, which not everything needs to be.

Granted this is a relatively small subset of problems.

London already has a terrible problem with extremely narrow (and often jagged) roads.

As an American many of the streets were hell to navigate, and I understood why tiny cars are valued there
They've set it up wrong. I use Gerrit in a large team and have never seen that problem. Force push is explicitly disabled in our config.
Yes, we should totally judge the next gen Roadster based on the first gen one. Ignore the advancements in battery tech and other lessons Tesla has learned in the nearly 10 years since the first Roadster.
Is there a chance that any of this plays out in favor of small advertisers? Seems like not, if current ad pricing is in part subsidized by VCs funding money-losing media platforms and hoping to "make up for it in volume" as is explained here. Will a "crash" result in less competition and therefore even higher rates for Adwords/Facebook for small businesses?
That's how it is for the average writer in digital media. Small daily articles keep the lights on and fund bigger investigative articles and feature content.

> All I see is Trump news

13 out of 25 of the front page of /r/politics right now (sorted by hot) are Trump news. 16 out of 25 if sorting by top.

That doesn't seem excessive, considering how vocal Trump is.
No exotic maker will match it with internal combustion.

Mclaren, Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, BMW M division are all in the process of producing electric sports cars. I don't think Tesla is holding any technology that makes other makers with a lot more racing experience unable to match their performance.
The underlined placeholders aren't inputs and cannot be filled out.

Also missing are a few options on what to do, including: "Let it burn", "Throw more gasoline at it", and "Quit while you still have some sanity left".
Maybe, but if we're doing formal proofs then we're not in the realm of opinion anymore. So the point is to substantiate any claim as to what, exactly, is reasonable to call "the mtg language". I really doubt there's any context in which a language can be formally described as "a limited number of texts"... especially if that language is supposed to be Turing complete (which implies non - finite-ness) !

BTW, the kind of language the ability text language is, has a name: it's a Controlled Natural Language. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_natural_language].

As to the relation between the language and the rules, if you think about it, if the language is not equivalent to the rules, then it can't represent (and, therefore, modify) every rule in the game (as it is supposed to). And if the language and the rules are equivalent, then proving one is Turing complete also proves it for the other. So you can ignore the rules and focus any proof on the language.
Just pretend, the same way they do with the claims about the GTR's ~0-degree wing, and most all aero claims on street-legal cars.

Aero at street legal speeds is basically worthless and range-destroying. Many supercars don't have more aero than the Roadster, just go look at them, they usually either have no wing, like the Lambo Huracan, or a wing with virtually no angle of attack.
This isn't solving a problem, it's just making it a little less worse. Proof of Work by mining is just a plain stupid and wasteful idea. Ethereum is already switching to Proof of Stake which is slightly better (but it still gives the power to the biggest holders since you have more influence with more ETH, leading to more market manipulation by mining cartels).

I think a non-blockchain, Tangle based concept like IOTA uses is a way better future, better in terms of scaling (the more users the better it gets), no transaction fees and, maybe best of all, no mining/miners.
Here's a blog entry [1] about an attack in 2016, with some references to other attacks.

The thing is, you have to maintain an attack for a long time to effectively disrupt service.

The root zone is published -- I imagine large recursive caches may use a local copy, rather than actually querying the root servers; but if they do query the root, the TTLs are 2 days; there's a pretty good chance your recursive resolver will have com. cached. The com. servers also give a 2 day TTL, so for popular domains, there's a good chance those are cached too. DDoS on the nameservers for domains can be effective, though. Even then, it's usually not a total outage.

Why didn't they ban him then, why just deny the blue checkmark ?
This makes no sense.
There is a lot of demand in the higher end market for a great speaker. Also, don't forget the apple ecosystem which people are already into. If and when Siri becomes as good as Google Assistant, people will buy into the homepod for sure.

Dunno, Jobs failed at execution more than once. Look at the Lisa for example. The Roadster could be the NeXT cube of the EV world?
my BofA visa has this as well.
It's an old program the source code for which may either not compile with the modern C++ compiler, or be lost. Back in 2000, Microsoft was using Visual Source Safe for managing its source code. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody can remember where the heck the VSS repository with that source code is located.

That leaves the binary monkey-patching as the only reasonable solution. I'm pretty sure Raymond Chen still works at Microsoft...
/r/Canada isn't too bad because that's how Canadians are. Even when we disagree we generally try to be civil.
I interviewed with you guys (didnt get hired but that's ok) and this was the first,thing that came to mind. Good luck
Definitely agree with your point about it being odd to get in touch with perfect strangers, but it's a great tool for promoting acquaintances to friends. I recently had a small house party and organized a ski trip, and Facebook allowed me to very easily invite people I didn't very well. It can be a great low pressure, non-intrusive, but genuine way to try and bring people into something.
Both Bank of America and Citi credit cards do it. They have it available right on their websites, and Citi even has an optional desktop application to quickly generate temporary use cards. I use it all the time for shady subscription services, and also to sign up for "New User" promos multiple times :)
It's not possible to listen for "Hello Siri" or "Okay, Google" when the microphone is not active.
You make a good point that I haven't really thought of (in quite that way). Anonymity used to be really fun on the internet in the early days for me, meeting strangers, playing games or whatever. Now so much is tied to us directly and to real-life that the thrill of exploration is kind of gone from the internet to me.
Doesn't apple pay change the number every transaction?
I prefer the Apple that is willing to forgo a holiday shopping season to make sure the product meets their standard of quality.

The answer depends on location, company and job role. There are some companies (Big 4) where there is a path to growth as an individual contributor even after 35-40. Please remember though you tend to spend a lot of time in meetings in these companies as you grow. A lot of popular Open source projects have senior developers as contributors and these people are sought after by multiple companies.

I have also seen a lot of senior developers go into consulting although they have to do a lot of other stuff than coding. I think as a senior developer you do need to be good at little bit of project management (ex: guiding junior devs, de-risking a project completion, contributing to product management decisions). If that is the case and you have a leadership who can recognize the technical value you bring to table, you should be handsomely rewarded.
More importantly, requiring a software upgrade to enable that functionality would make it obvious that this is indeed of questionable legality and limit the market. Many people buying these watches (or the children dolls affected by the last round of bans) are not aware that these are in fact hidden spying devices.
All the Googles, Facebooks, banks, government supercomputers, etc, are "wasting" a lot more energy than Bitcoin, as pretty much all of the energy in the world used for computing is dissipated as heat, including the computer on which I'm typing this.

There is no "fix" here, as the strength of Bitcoin rests on the fundamental laws of nature whereby energy is required to process information. If you can invent an energy-less form of computing, more power to you, but I think the laws of thermodynamics preclude it from being possible.

There is fundamentally no problem with a lot of energy, just look at the Sun, which "wastes" many orders of magnitude more energy than anything else humans have ever done. The problem is with our present ways of burning fossil fuels for energy, but then again, this has nothing to do with Bitcoin.

PS: Don't actually look at the Sun.
Depends. If you look up to - John Carmack, Jeff Dean, Jon Skeet (a lot of more names), and keep learning, growing and outpacing yourself from yday then sky is the limit.
You're saying nobody in Germany uses "ok google" or "hey siri" hotwords? What constitutes an "active microphone"? Is it only when audio data is being recorded or streamed, or is it the mere act of processing audio with any type of software? What if the software is malicious, running in the background and not indicating it's actively recording/streaming/processing all the time?

I'm asking this mostly rhetorically, but just trying to point out that when most things these day are controlled by software that is remotely and automatically updated and installed (including firmware, baseband software, and background apps), it's nearly impossible to say something like "yes, this device has a microphone, but it's not 'listening' right now", let alone define it legally.
wasm does some stack isolation so that the function's local stack variables are not next to things like the return value in memory and loads to/from stack slots are special instructions that reference slot identifiers. Most stack operations aren't arbitrary memory reads/writes from addresses so it's not possible to overflow them and corrupt other values.

The caveat is that not everything native apps put on the stack can currently be stored in wasm's safe stack, so applications often put a secondary stack inside their heap. This will also happen if you're - for example - passing large structs around as arguments. You can smash the heap stack if you manage to find an exploit, and if function pointers or other important data are stored there, you can turn that into an attack.

It's absolutely the case that a large subset of stack smashing attacks don't work on wasm, because of the safety properties. Some of them will still work though. The way function pointers work in wasm raises the risk profile a bit if you manage to get control over the value of a function pointer, since function pointer values are extremely easy to predict.
I think the biggest reason this reputation exists is that the industry has grown so quickly and the industry itself is still so young relatively. This naturally causes the median age to skew younger, as there just hasn't been enough time for the larger, newer cohorts to age!
> If you believe you own your body and the labor you produce, why would anyone else (including the state) have a right to your body's production?

Because others contribute to your body's production. Your position only works if you are truly prepared to ask nothing from the state - not defense, not roads, not clean water, not law enforcement. Most people who take the "taxation is theft" position don't recognize how much they benefit from the existence of the state.
Mesh networking.

I figured by now the cost of nodes would be so low and the technology so far more advanced that everyone could just stick a few nodes around and we'd have a completely free, open and decentralized internet.

Lost? He sold it. Half the issues here came from him selling the company in secret.

But even before then StartSSL was a hinky CA. Three times I contacted support, I got direct responses from Eddy. Each time he managed to make me feel like I'd personally insulted him. Abrasive.

All that said, he was providing well trusted free certificates at a time nobody else was.
What value is this? What will a PressCoin buy in the real world? This is like the Basic Attention Token (BAT). BAT is just a blockchain popularity contest. Both are totally worthless to anyone outside their respective community.

You can say you bought a coin. But without a physical object you can't prove you really own it. Digital currency can easily be wiped out in seconds. Just look at what happened to Ether last week:

Well, you can check my profile for one :)

Skift is another (and if you've been following digital media for a while you may recognize its founder Rafat Ali)

These are B2B examples. Consumer media is a lot harder because you have to figure out a way to carve out a niche audience that is attractive to advertisers, but I think it's possible. And I think success is a lot more likely if you bootstrap something rather than load up on VC and debt in a moonshot.

$400M a month would be equivalent to ~20k full time engineer's total compensation, so I doubt layoffs will put a serious dent in it.
