How do you even HAVE a source of truth? You email a spreadsheet to two people, and the both want to work on it... which one is the source of truth? They each have modified the original, and we want to keep both changes.

I mean, this is the problem that distributed version control was designed to solve. Emailing a spreadsheet around and calling one a source of truth doesn’t solve the simultaneous edits problem.

Pre 2015 people were worried about the government actively monitoring and controlling what could be said on the internet. It was a fight to protect free speech on the web.

The current issue about the actions of the FCC focuses on net neutrality. While also being essential for free speech on the web, this issue focuses on the prevention of monopolization and antitrust practices by internet service providers.

Or did I miss some point you made?

> It took me a while to realize that no matter how close you are to someone or how much they claim to love you, people simply cannot keep secrets. I learned this a few years ago when I thought I was gay and told people. The more harmful the secret, the juicier the gossip and the more likely you are to be betrayed. People don't care about their word or what they've promised, they just do whatever the fuck they want and justify it later. It feels incredibly lonely to realize you can never share something with someone and have it be between just the two of you.

This passage was very resonating. I guess part of adulthood is to adjust your expectations of other people, that is, no expectations at all. If you hold your closest mates to any standard of decency, you're bound to be disappointed.

Here it is - http://github.com/

> Is that information not useful?

Sure, all information useful, but presentation and usability of fossil ui is near zero. It looks like a programmer without any aesthetic taste just throw all information in random places on screen just to fill it. While UX designers polishes every checkbox, padding and font size. For example - why unreadable commit ids occupy so much space on the screen? When I open timeline - I want to read commit descriptions first, and only after that I may be interested in some commit id. I'm opening github timeline and I'm focused on commit descriptions, but fossil timeline accents me on useless commit ids!

> I'm not trolling here

Me too. I bet 99% of Github success is a good UX - but it is very difficult for programmer to understand it.
The Blue Dogs are a very belated rearguard action against the partisan realignment that had largely completed when they were formed, and as the realignment progresses and solidifies they have rapidly become irrelevant.
What service providers?

Tongue in cheek:

After the industrial revolution kicked in britain's main innovative energies were spent on financial innovation and exploitation of a closed, huge global internal market, and being a colonial master at the expense of actually making better products or services.

Except for the rich nabobs coming home from India, I suppose. But there are only so many Savile Row suits and London luxury apartments one can sell to the global population.

UK was at the heart of industrial and scientific revolutions, and was a huge financial innovator. I presume the wealth from colonies in the 19th century killed the two former.

Yeah, I've heard of Julia before but looks like it doesn't have a very clean[1] FFI story. I'm not super-interested in spinning up a full-blown interpreter for an inner loop. Plus I already had Rust installed :).

Seriously though Rust was 43 lines of code + cargo build vs 33 lines of Python and a simple C FFI so it was pretty straightforward to drop in.

Improbable. The South Atlantic isn't of much interest to the major naval powers. Most likely none of them have deployed the dense undersea hydrophone networks necessary to have any chance of tracking a submarine.

The title is overblown. There's a push to stop using Excel as:

* the single source of truth for a set of primary data

* the mechanism by which regular (i.e. repeated) reports and analysis are conducted

But it overlooks the fact that:

* Excel has, for many years, had real-time integration to pull data from many systems (not just 'Export to Excel', but the ability to pull data via ODBC connectors). I've used this, e.g. to pull trial balances from Sage into Excel for custom, but repeated, financial reporting.

* You can't beat Excel as a prototyping tool, or for ad hoc analysis from disparate data sources (without a huge learning curve for the people we're talking about). Telling finance/accounting professionals not to use Excel is like telling designers to use D3.js instead of Illustrator. D3 might integrate better with data sources, and be easier to version control and share etc., but for a quick sketch you'll use Illustrator.

From the title, you'd assume these 'Finance Chiefs' were expecting none of their staff would even need Excel installed, after some transition period, but this isn't the case. There's always some lag between the needs you have, and the capability of more structured tools.
What would we like to talk about instead? I'll start:

- File formats and open protocols are dead, everything is stored in someone else's database. How do we regain the ability to switch providers and interoperate?

- The web has petrified as a medium. Only the few big giants can now evolve it, and all but one does so in direct competition with their own walled garden. Does anyone care?

- Mobile devices: How do I make them useful? Are there apps that aren't toys for kids? Tricorders, not mini TVs plz.

- Anyone wanna let me in to their secret clubhouse? I don't bite, I'm just a sperg who values truth as a terminal value over high school antics and who lacks the energy to chit chat about trivia to meet people.
It was a joke on my part. There is a lot to do actually. Deal with climate change foremost.
You functionally can't buy insurance on meaningful amounts of Bitcoin. You can convince an insurance company to write you a standard cyberinsurance policy, but the limits on them are far less than the amount of Bitcoin people want to store, and when you have a more bespoke conversation with an underwriter they will say "No no no HELL no."

It is not hard to understand why insurers don't want to write these policies. Bitcoin exchanges die catastrophically in over 20% of exchange-years.

Wonder which kill more students, poisonous insects, allergic reactions, or “active shooters”?

My daughter went to an elementary school surrounded by a 10 foot fence limiting access to only through the front office. While I was waiting in lobby, grandfather of one of the children started berating office staff because “anyone with an AK47 could walk right into the school”. I laughed out loud at him cause anyone with an AK47 can walk anywhere they damn want.

And this school was even better target because victims had no escape routes.

i think the first step to start a revolution against these cronies is to talk about net neutrality in your hoa if you are part of one and find ways to ensure comcast does not have a monopoly.
>But this is ignoring the whole debate: proponents of net freedom don't consider fast lanes to be a problem.

And they literally wouldn't be if internet service was delivered in a free market. The problem is that the market isn't free. ISPs have spent years rigging the market in their favor, politically. The landscape is already hostile to the consumer--they intend to make it more so.

Corporations build unsave factories that kill 1000s when collapsing (see Bangladesh). Corporations will add addictive substances to food and sigaretes you increase sales, in the process killing millions.
Yes, no significant change in economic activity has occurred. This points to a difficulty in comparing the size of different economies using only GDP.

My haircut here in Beijing contributes less to measured global economic output than a similar-time-effort-and-skill haircut in Croydon.
Democrats use drones to kill innocent or presumed-guilty people in other countries. Are you sure their lives don't matter compared to net neutrality? They're also responsible for harsh sentences for drug offences which is a major reason for all the imprisoned people in the US. Net neutrality is still more important than all those ruined lives?

The housing shortage in San Francisco is democrats too. Maybe with money saved from rents to landlords could be spent on rents to non-neutral ISPs.

It's far from a simple as "always vote democrat". That kind of naive arrogance is why the US has two entrenched parties that both maintain the status quo of terrible things you don't like.
If you're thinking, "I wish there's something I could have said", don't say "What happened?" That focuses on the problem. Maybe they don't want to talk about it.

Ask "Are you OK?"

You can always say this even if there's nothing wrong.
If they say "Yes, why?", they're your friend.
If they say "Fine." then they don't trust you.
If they tell you "No, ..." they think you're a close friend.

Then ask "What can I do to help you? You're not alone."
Focus on the solution.

If you want to know if someone trusts you, just ask
"Are you OK?" and they will tell you.

In my situation, I found out that while suicide would have been a "shut down", moving to another country was a "reboot".

I no longer have anywhere to call "home", but it's better than being stuck in that miserable place.
I understand the hate. It solves the problem like hammering a nail with a wrecking ball. But having said that, I'm actually using it right now. Mostly because I already know when development and I don't really have the time to learn GUI libraries, also I can get up and running with a workable UI in less than a day with electron. However I just discovered sciter and might use it for my next project.
is there no way to invalidate addresses / wallets? Surprised that the address used in the Bitstamp heist was still usable. Surprised that the hacker used the same address even.

Also to be honest at least on android phones you can use various solutions, like plugging into your pc. On iPhone you’re essentially stuck with iCloud or iTunes.

If we're going back to the past, let's go back to the 1996 Telecom act, and get unbundled last mile; but apply it to all mediums this time, instead of only telephone.

I don't care if Comcast blocks BitTorrent for its direct customers, as long as it doesn't touch it for wholesale customers, and as long as wholesale prices are lower than retail prices (learning from Telco dsl pricing shenanigans)
> They don't want NN when it comes to gaming latency vs. email latency.

That isn't a thing. ISPs don't actually do that.

Latency on any reasonably provisioned network is determined by distance and the speed of light. There is no magic thing routers can do for special packets to make it go down, it's just the laws of physics.

They could only do something when the network isn't reasonably provisioned and the ISP's uplinks are fully saturated, but that should never normally happen unless the ISP is either incompetent or creating artificial scarcity for anticompetitive reasons.
Decentralising the Internet is the only way we are going to be able to stop corporations from lobbying (aka bribing) the government to make decisions in their favour.

Check out https://substratum.net/ - they have an idea to do just that. As our computers get more and more powerful then there is no reason why we cant distribute more of what forces the internet to be centralised, if no one controls it then it can be free and open (which also raises a whole new set of problems but one step at a time!)
He's correcting for that. USD / US GW vs World BTC / World GW.
> I think that includes all human beings. None of us pay full attention at all times.

That's exactly what I meant though I said it in an ironic way.
Keep in mind that there are usually two sides to every story. I'm not saying he was lying, this was his perception of the situation. Other people had much different impressions of his parents.
According to the DOT [1] it looks like my intuition is a bit out of date. Right now US freight about even, trucking still a little bit ahead by ton-mile. Ten years ago rail carried 2/3 as much freight as trucks. Last-mile delivery on trucks (from the rail station to the point of use) is taken care of by the unit of measurement (one ton of freight traveling one mile), so I think that those numbers are relatively reasonable.

So I'll admit: fair enough, the rail industry is still healthy and carrying a good amount of cargo. I'll withdraw the wording; we do not in fact use long-haul trucks for everything. The fact that trucks are competing with rail at all, however, given the geographical extent of the US and how horrible long-haul trucking is, I believe makes me stand by my claim that the US rail industry was broken and never recovered. It frankly astonishes me that driving something down the highway is even remotely financially effective in comparison to rail freight.

And, of course, none of this is relevant to my original point: the railroads abused their powers to an astonishing degree and the government was forced to smash them for the good of the economy. Is it obvious to me that today's ISPs are following in the footsteps of yesterday's railroads and telephones and I don't understand how people convince themselves otherwise.

So many young Hackers have been asking for the easiest way to hack an email,
Do you know how many email services there are, how many kinds of mail servers, how many forms of custom security?

In my time, I've hacked numerous email servers and services, usually incidentally to compromising the rest of a company or entity. It's always been different. Sometimes it´s as simple as replacing a username in a URL. Other times I've had to compromise the entire support system for an email service.

It varies. It takes imagination. There's no formula. There's no ¨teaching to hack email¨. There's just understanding how systems work and learning to extrapolate.
I will reluctantly say that a public favorite seems to be guessing ¨secret answers¨ to ¨secret questions¨ needed to reset passwords on some systems (For Guccifer, hacking email is easy — prison is hard). I never personally used this technique, since it felt like cheating. It's hard to explain why. But certain passwords, once discovered, made sense for certain people (Ih8K1ds for an extremely unpleasant lady at [redacted],SPQR for a CIA officer [on a system with very low password standards]).So many people always think i only work for big companies, that i dont work for private individuals, For urgent requests for professional Hack Advice Or Hack Services, You can contact me directly via compositehacks@gmail.com.

So many people always ask me if i'm a Hacker or a Cracker, as a matter of fact, I don't really care. You can consider me whatever you like - it's entirely subjective. I've been called a white hat, gray hat, and black hat, depending on the attitude and perspective of the writer, and it's not my place to insist that one or the other is correct. I encourage readers to reach conclusions from their own mind and feelings, not arbitrary segregation.

I do what I do, and leave it to others to document it - or not - in the way that suits them best. Distinctions like these work for role playing games, and it's kind of like asking "Is Adrian Lamo True Neutral?" - an interesting intellectual exercise, but with no particular relevance to reality.

Why do you think he didn't read the letter in its entirety? Just because Zeller hated his parents doesn't mean his description of them is accurate. Don't forget, it's a suicide note. People use them to vent their grievances, real and perceived.

It's very sad that he felt he had to take his own life. I wish he had reached out and gotten professional help for his depression.

Not quite. Rust embraces "zero cost abstractions" which means you can build up pretty high level abstractions without losing any speed. TBH I would much rather write Rust vs Ruby.

I believe it as probable. Say "Submarine found in x waters 145m deep." if this isn't standard, and signals an improvement in current tech, Russia and China will wonder why and start to piece things out.

The problem is that sub designers go to great lengths to make them invisible while underwater. So if it's disabled and can't tell where it is, that's a problem, (or feature since it's stealthy.)
> It seems to me that many programmers don't appreciate that industry practices or regulatory requirements impose quirky requirements on domain specialists that everyone knows are far from optimal but which need to be complied with anyway if the business is to turn a profit or retain its licensure.

At most there is some feedback coming from ticket management system or the product manager.
