There are always going to be local norms and laws though. Where I live and recently bought a home the default is that anything bolted/screwed down is part of the home you're buying. Furniture, art, etc is not included. Most sellers will include the major kitchen appliances, washers and dryers are on a case by case basis. When I bought, the sellers wanted to keep some shelving and curtain rods and this (along with the major appliances) was explicitly covered in the contract.
Until we get government signed personal digital certificates, it's the only sure way to authenticate that you really are who you say you are.

Does Instagram need to be that sure? Probably not.
The whole point of crypto is to circumvent the system. You just described problems that exist because there is a centralized system defining them: money-laundering, which by definition is circumventing the government, tax avoidance (same), and other loop holes that are basically a way to do what you want with your money, instead of having to share or pay something to a central authority for whatever reason.

Taxes are good, but I think that the "centralized" solution for taxing, (having a separate process, that is all defined and enforced by government) is a terrible solution that has proven ineffective, unfair, and inaccurate. Public commons like taxes need to have an equivalent smart contract and once you have mass acceptance of these tokens, people will have no choice but to pay taxes with any and every transaction, and all of the pain the current centralized IRS feels crypto has, will be irrelevant.

I read somewhere that actively deleting the content might give you more legal protection in getting it deleted, whether now or in the future. I don't know for sure, but I did it anyway. Also, FB can't show fake endorsements to your friends if all of your likes have been removed.
I would imagine that most companies that are in the market for this have already decided to trust Amazon with most, if not all, of their most sensitive applications and data.
I used to disagree but not anymore. I think maybe the assumption is that you will be dissatisfied enough w the app to want to use another editor, and also that's easier to write Markdown than use the UI. Assuming good exporting facilities or lack of a proprietary format and quality UX, I'd much rather have the best possible editor than be able to write Markdown. It's much more important to e.g. add images, resize them, add sketches, graphs, and/or tables, or perhaps link multiple notes together. All of this is painful or impossible with Markdown (and editing Markdown on mobile is sucky). Markdown I think is an attempt to merge markup and content in a way that retains both, but it sucks for anything beyond simple header/paragraphs/lists.
Adding 2FA is as much work as adding a really good authentication protocol, with much better usability and security.

But we don't have discussions like this very often, therefore we don't have a consensus on which solution is the best alternative. I think this is a network effect problem (chicken-and-egg) more than a "perfect is the enemy of good".

I should probably walk that back to "wager most startups do bad things," i.e. "Not everyone is just continuously breaking the law, but if you have to place money that a randomly-chosen startup broke some law, bet on 'yes.'"

In particular, I'd put the odds that 100% of software most startups use to generate product is correctly and completely licensed at "low." License compliance is expensive, and it's an easy responsibility to dodge if you can trust the aggrieved parties won't sue because your company's entire valuation isn't worth the price of their lawyers' time.

A few years ago I felt like I should contribute something back to SO (having used it plenty of times for research), but somehow I got routed into a "gotcha" UX where the site would repeatedly tell me that my previous action was against the rules. It felt like being trained via shock collar. I certainly appreciate the goal of maintaining quality in questions and answers, but I hope there are better ways of getting there than what I saw.

Note that the experience I have didn't appear to be human-initiated: I understood it as an automated "feature" of the site itself, a sort of guided initiation process. Maybe that process trained some people a bit too well?
It is rather easy to photoshop and scan a passport. All you would have to do is get a random scan of a passport from your desired country, import the desired photo, print it and scan it a couple times and you have a new id as far as Airbnb is concerned. I highly doubt the outsourced workers checking it would care. There were quite a few driver license templates and passport template on demonoid a few years back...
Wow, he really likes the ESP32, huh?

I always thought the ESP modules used weird Tensilica cores that were annoying to work with and lacking documentation, but I guess if you've already gone through the herculean effort of working all of that out, why switch to something like ARM?
Sorry about the lost videos, but that was a indeed a helpful comment. Any time you use any dependency, it's important to be aware of how it can change. Locking down a specific version, if possible, is generally a good route to take. Software in general, and especially SAAS, tends to change frequently, so building your project in an manner that safely handles changes is important.

The pitfalls of dependencies is something a lot of courses tend to ignore completely. Getting bit by dependency issues tends to be a hard-learned lesson, just like this one. Perhaps consider mentioning it in future classes.
"edit: regarding the Mt. Gox situation. You present it as something that should have never happened in civilized society, but I think it's growing pains on the way to something better."

But they're growing pains that don't need to happen. They've literally already happened in the past. There is nothing new about BTC that makes those lessons irrelevant.

I’ve been thinking, shouldn’t it be possible to exchange Bitcoin for Ethereum trustlessly? It requires that Ethereum smart contracts recognize Bitcoin (secp256k1) signatures over arbitrary hashes, though. It would work like this:

1) create an unsigned Bitcoin transaction that pays 1 BTC from Alice to Bob

2) create an Ethereum address (smart contract) that can be redeemed either a) by Alice using a signature for a pubkey specified by Alice in advance, plus an secp256k1 (Bitcoin) signature over the hash of the Bitcoin transaction or b) by Bob after a timeout (e.g. 7 days)

Bob sends the number of ethers he wants to pay for 1 BTC to this Ethereum address/contract, and if Alice takes the offer she will redeem this amount, thus revealing the signature for the Bitcoin transaction, which Bob can then publish and get his 1 BTC.
Holding bitcoin as it goes up in value isn't a gain. Selling or exchanging it for another currency / coin would be when someone would realize a gain or loss.
An impartial investigation isn't unreasonable. Having an investigation conducted by someone (Robert Mueller) with ties to the Clintons (via James Comey) is.

Keep in mind that almost the entirety of the media and the political establishment in the United States opposes President Trump. If they had anything substantive on him, don't you think it would have come out after an investigation that's been going on for a year?

Is there anything available open source that even comes close to the lambda job you're mentioning? It sounds like it does the job of finding the cheapest possible price at runtime, and would probably have to be pretty custom.

I think an open source baseline would demonstrate you could do the customization, but with that kind of savings you have the opportunity to do this full time as a consultant, open source or not!
He is right, except the case of housing. Which is the biggest share of living cost.
I love being surprised, I would have never guessed that. Very cool. Porosity of bicycle inner tubes is an inconvenient problem for me and others, I don't suppose a metalic layer would work in that application however with the expansion and all. Cool to know though.
No, Nitro refers to the whole technology stack as well as the hypervisor. *.metal instances utilize most of the Nitro technology stack, but not the Nitro hypervisor.
I use ad-blockers to prevent arbitrary parties from running arbitrary code on my computer. Not because I detest seeing a 5-10 second ad every 20-60m worth of videos or seeing a small text block or banner ad or sponsor list off to the side.

People use adblockers not only to block unauthorized code but because advertising has become an avenue for fingerprinting and tracking, and thus, longterm, a tool of socioeconomic oppression. People are also fed up with ridiculous loading times and payload size.

I have no problem with the way certain hosts choose to conduct advertising on their websites and I try not to block advertising on their websites.

There will be stability one day in the form of a truce between advertisers and end users, where lightweight, self-hosted static content that isn't fetched remotely clientside or laden with scripts will find a way to make money in the general market again.

>Would this apply to all of google, or just specific product areas (ie, would you only nationalize Search, or Search & Ads, or something else)?

Mostly search. We'll drop the ads. People will be subsidising search already, so no need for ads.

>If yes, do tensorflow development now fall under the purview of the UN?

No, that Alphabet can keep.

>Is Android now a partially closed-source, world-government administered, operating system, used by a significant fraction of every human being?

Yes.

>If not, how does one manage infrastructure for the now government administered search system, and corporate everything-else? Do they share the datacenters (and thus give government employees access to the datacenters full of user data), or do they split the datacenters up somehow, and give some to the government, and keep others?

Every piece of data will be queryable by a simple RESTful API for everybody, including everybody's else search history. We'll call it "radical transparency". This is include the data of government members.

>What happens to my existing Google Account?

It remains as is, only better.

>Does the government get access to any of my user data, and if so, which subset?

Yes, all, see above.

>Do we do away with search personalization, or start it over from scratch?

We kill that. It never worked well anyway.

I'm partly joking, and partly imagining what a sane humanity, that could build and coordinate stuff on a global scale without letting them to the markets, in other words a "Star Trek" like government, would do.

Seems like you narrowed the conversation when you said:

I don't agree with the other party that libertarians hate rent seeking, though. The most obvious example of rent-seeking is, well, rent - and I've never heard a libertarian speak against landlords.

Reactopt – CLI React optimization tool that helps identify over-rendering
My friends and I created an NPM module that identifies specific events that may be causing unnecessary re-rendering of components in your application, and which components may benefit from utilizing shouldComponentUpdate.

Prior to React 16, the module react-addons-perf helped identify locations that developers may want to implement shouldComponentUpdate to limit over-rendering. However, since the module is no longer supported we created Reactopt to fill the gap, and also provide increased functionality for any version of React.

If ReasonML is able to form a real community, I have high hopes for its long-term prospects. Such an enjoyable language to use! I think their general approach of bootstrapping a community by lowering impedance with the JS ecosystem is a decent one.

In case anyone on the OCaml team is reading this though, there are two language-level changes that I think could do wonders for wider adoption. The first is modular implicits: it feels so kludgy to have to type `a + b` for integers, `a +. b` for floats and `a ^ b` for string concatenation. I know it sounds like a small thing, but it makes the language feel inelegant, and aesthetics are important. The second is a good concurrency story, ideally one that is compatible with JS-style async/await keywords for easy interop.

I know those are both being worked on; I just hope they become available in time to coincide with the wave of interest in ReasonML!

Meh. With some of the practices I've already seen, at least spreadsheets always show the data. You send me a spreadsheet, I can verify most of it. Send me a notebook, I can typically only audit what you did.
Probably because he/she has tons of videos that walk through setting it up on c9.io's old site.

I'm also a course creator (but I don't use cloud9). A change like this is a really big deal for someone in his/her shoes. Having to re-record all of those videos is non-trivial, and doing it with the self hosted version would still require new videos to be made.
It's branding. You advertise for a trademark that you have control over. If the users are using Android or Chrome they'll see some ads on their way to your website, but they will eventually get there, but that's ok I guess. What I mean is you should not depend on, for the life of your business, that a keyword like "secure email" will send traffic to your website, unless that is your trademark or brand name, and in that case you better own secureemail.com

Back in 2006 or so when the address field became a search bar in most major browsers, I started to get a lot of traffic from Google, but 99% was searching for mydomain.com, I'm not talking about that kind of traffic, I'm talking about SEO keywords that will kill your business over night when (not if) Google change their formula or some algorithm removes your site from the search result.

It's a bit upsetting that web browsers have monetized the address bar, but that's another, yet important discussion.

> If anti-trust is your concern, make Google smaller. Regulate what % of marketshare they are allowed to control.

How? Because this...

> Don't allow them to purchase any more competitors.

...doesn't achieve that end.

Google could have a thousand competitors and 99% of the marketshare, because just because a competitor exists doesn't compel, or even slightly persuade, anyone to use it.

I'm all for antitrust laws. I just don't see how the usual remedies would work here.
I don't think I made it sound that way, but if I did, it was in error. I understand the implications of the technology, but my issue is with firms applying it to literally everything, even when it's not cogent to do so.
He was one of the early adopters of the ESP8266 and wrote a bunch of very interesting firware for those (like the ability for it to act as an AP to set up WiFi credentials without additional hardware.

He was subsequently hired to as a software engineering manager and technical marketing manager at Espressif, who were working on the ESP32 at the time.

That's not entirely outrageous. There are even existing Corporate and Trust structures in use for ownership transfer needs (mailbox keys and similar shared infrastructure that maybe can't be directly deeded/titled) in deed-restricted communities (Home Owners Association) and condo buildings (Condo Owners Association). A "smart neighborhood" could work to make sure that smart home functionality transfers smoothly between home owners.

> CEO pay is agreed in a market, and albeit there are interesting governance issues, it is truly drawn from investors. Personally I do believe investors are getting stiffed. ITs just not the solution to increase wages.

except it is not. A CEO of corp A is a member of the board in corp B. Disgraced ex-CEO of citi John Thain is on Uber's board now. I think Eric Schmidt was on Apple's board at some point? Point is the board is NOT representative of ordinary passive investors or even institutional investors like Vanguard. The passive investors have almost no leverage. How do you propose we level the playing field for the investors?
In many markets they pay drivers more than they make on each ride - significantly more.

It happens in various forms, but I suspect minimum-payout subsidies are one of the main causes.

In many cities Uber is trying to shorten wait times (so there's a car very close to you always), and the only way to do this is to flood the streets with drivers. Flooding the streets with drivers lowers each driver's earning ability, since there are now more drivers competing for the same number of passengers.

To make sure drivers don't quit, Uber has been in the habit of guaranteeing payouts - if you work this area during a particular time period, they guarantee you a minimum level of earnings, paying you the difference if there aren't enough passengers.

This is a big part of how they lose money - in order to maintain a system where a car is always nearby, they need to pay drivers a lot more than they make from the passengers.
> Who on earth would actually spend any Bitcoins right now? If you'd bought a Pizza with BTC back in 2010, you could have bought a car (or house?) instead only several years later. This type of volatility makes it totally unsuitable as currency.

Will it not eventually stabilise? When it's just starting out and only few people believe in its value it seems inevitable it's going to be volatile in the early days. Some people have to start making the first purchases in the beginning so if people weren't buying pizza and whatever with it when Bitcoin was low in value it wouldn't be valued what it is now.
How do you like the IKEA stuff? I've seen their lights that can shift through daylight/evening hues and brightnesses and was tempted.
EC2 network performance demystified: m3 and m4
Blog-ish websites are unreliable even when they have real hosting. If you put it on someone's laptop it gets so much worse. To me, the reliability boost is the killer feature of IPFS.

> You don't really need a globally addressable immutable file storage, because unless you're dealing with static images, a lot of files DO change all the time, and people want to store and share files privately.

While it boosts reliability, IPFS is not globally immutable. If you share a file with a limited scope, it won't stick around forever.

Though from a quick search you can't easily keep a file private, that's not great.
What is the pricing for this? I read the faq (https://aws.amazon.com/cloud9/faqs/), It seems like cost is included in EC2 instances.
