> As it stands, if they really want to do this, I hope they realize it makes them de facto responsible for all email that goes through their service (and if they don't, then they are even bigger idiots than I normally paint them to be, as they literally are involved in a similar case in court right now).

This argument is based on a long-outdated understanding of the law. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act extends immunity even to services exercising editorial control over content.

See Zeran v. AOL:

"Congress' clear objective in passing §230 of the CDA was to encourage the development of technologies, procedures and techniques by which objectionable material could be blocked or deleted."[5] Since distributor liability would have the effect of disincentivizing the filtering of content by third parties, the court found that such laws were in conflict with the "purpose and objectives of congress," and were thus preempted.
Because the laptop is what he keeps his life on, and the work station is just that, for doing heavy lifting work in Photoshop and Lightroom and video and whatever. I don't think he wants to move his life to Windows which is a bigger deal, just his work.
I actually get the feeling that he's going to do something about pollution and climate change, but on his terms. Probably by suggesting something outrageous off the bat, then winding back to something better than we'd currently expect.

So basically, follow the existing law that governs securities and investments. I personally don't see a big problem with that, considering the laughable scams that have occurred over the past six months.

I am curious, though, how that works with proposed international investors. (I'm not well educated in the financial space)

I hope that these actions clear house of the scams, and open room for good projects to exist without some shade of doubt cast over them—at least not for the reasons there exists some kind of shade now.
Perhaps I'm being rude, but it seems like it was pretty small if it was completed within a year's time. Wish there were more details about the actual size of what was rewritten.
This is also a great way to understand your target market (rather than sending out surveys and creating landing pages).

I built https://page.rest, https://screen.rip & https://pdf.cool, in the last 3 months which gave us a great understanding of our target market and problem space.

It's also a way to win trust. If you can solve a small problem well, people will trust you with their bigger problems.
This is AWESOME.

I absolutely love the idea of transpiling other languages to readable (and therefore, debuggable and maintainable) Javascript.

Kudos and I'll be watching this project.
The Simpson has massively better animation than The regular tv anime in Japan. Most animes have very few animated frames and instead revolve on fixed backgrounds, scrolling, voice over and only lips moving now and then. Good animation is expensive to produce and most animes are made with very few resources and time. When a good one makes it, its nothing short of a miracle.
This is their service. As long as they update their ToS to detail what they're doing, I don't really have a problem with it right now.
These rules aren't new in the slightest. Anyone who thought ICOs would allow them to evade the SEC was always deluding themselves.

Despite these long-standing rules, the US still seems to do just fine attracting new corporations.
That is true, but it still is on JavaScript’s turf. With WebAssembly the JavaScript will be as ‘native’ as any other language. I think the psychological difference matters.

I think their point is that there's no point in trying to force Windows to behave like a Unix when you can just use a Mac or install/dualboot Linux. There are a lot of reasons (fascism-based IT department, can't afford a Mac, etc.), but it's a good point. Once I stopped trying to trick Windows into working like Linux and just freaking installed Linux, my workflow became SUPER smooth.
> Sincere question: Does C# offend you?

No. C# has some relationship with C and C++ and it's clear that Microsoft wants us to think about the C-ness of C# when we see the "C" in C#; C's implied trademark is being respected here.

Now my turn for a sincere question:

If someone gets the name "curl" and everyone in a market understands that name means something, and someone comes around and uses the name for something else[1], why do you think that's okay?

Most these companies are very clearly focusing on a US market first, so their pool of likely coin buyers is Americans. I'm guessing that many of them also want to keep the option of getting additional rounds of funding by selling equity rather than scrip.

If leaving US jurisdiction reduces the capital markets that are most important to them, then I doubt they will decide that it's worthwhile to do so just for the sake of being able do ICOs.

The hype will die down as the SEC gets involved and regulations are pursued. Smart time to take profits in my opinion. Many will be left holding the bag as we see a correction to more sustainable levels. Bitcoin is here to stay, but these prices are not rational, driven purely off of emotion.

I don't think this is a good thing. We are going to lose some of the brightest next generation startups to lesser jurisdiction areas due to regulation created in the 40s.

Why does one take on debt they cannot afford, especially when they lack a good career to help pay for it, in the first place?

From the stories I've taken in from people attending college over the years, I suspect it is because they see people like these administrative staff, who will tell you they got there by going to college, making serious amounts of money and are willing to take a chance that they too will become that person in the future. Which then becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. The schools are incentivized to ensure that a small group of college graduates are paid handsomely to make their product look more attractive, and more students taking notice of that attractiveness allows them to pay those people even more.

Despite substantial growth in college attainment over the last number of decades, incomes for the general population have remained stagnant and job quality is in decline. That fact is reported in the news almost daily, it feels like. It is no secret that the average person is going to see no workplace gains by going to college, otherwise incomes would be going up and/or job quality would be rising with increasing attainment. It appears to me, however, that some are willing to gamble on the small chance they are the exceptional case that gets the exceptional job (like College President).

Ultimately, the colleges are providing what the students want: A perceived chance, albeit small, of significant upward mobility. Until their desires change, it is going to be difficult to change that outward contract.

Have you ever looked at a US budget breakdown? I suggest you do so now: https://www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-bud...

Nasa's yearly budget is less than $20bn. Compare this with the ~$600bn on the military, the ~$1.2tn on social secure, the ~$1tn on Medicare, etc. Space exploration is a drop in the ocean. Yet people troll that it's some huge, wasteful money sink, even when the US government is spending $1.5tn on the T35 fighter jet alone.

Moreover, Nasa's scientific work does help with tackling climate change and pollution. They are the ones launching satellites to monitor the Earth's biosphere, and doing work like National Climate Review[1], even as the current administration is removing all reference to climate change from the output of other Federal Agencies.

David Kadavy's new book, “The Heart to Start” is free on Kindle today
He's most likely using the laptop for capturing photos (possibly tethered capture), and doing post-processing on the PC. Post-processing is what requires high performance hardware. It's also likely that he already had the Macbook and didn't feel the need to replace it at the same time.

I'm in the same boat, as it turns out. I switched from macOS to Windows for post-processing this summer, but I still have my Macbook for image capture and driving a telescope in the field.

Funny, I see plenty of adds next to "offensive" content in other media. Plenty sponsor TV news, which is fully of the violence specifically forbidden here. SouthPark gets advertisers. So youtube's blanket demonetization is overkill. If certain sponsors want out of certain videos, they should be free to do so. But leave room for those advertisers who aren't so squeamish.

The site's devs & testers simply never even see the invalid password screen - only automated scripts with test credentials ever interact with it. They have a completely different experience, and that affects how the site is built.

At the end of the day, making life easier for users is not a priority unless it affects the bottom line.
A lot of this I can't really speak to, and for some things I can see the point - I use stashes to follow almost exactly the no-staging-area workflow - but in other places this suffers at least a little from being a generalization from one example.

In particular, named branches significantly reduce friction in my day-to-day work. I often have PRs for multiple smallish tickets in flight simultaneously, working on the code for each ticket while I wait for review on the others. This means that branches generally live for about eight hours and I care about maybe three of them at any given time, a different set every day. Invocations are stable, named refs fit in cache and my CLI does fuzzy LRU to improve that further, and I can bounce to the current code for a given ticket/PR at almost the speed of thought. By contrast, the "view the log and copy-paste a hash" workflow makes me cringe - I have to inspect the log every time I want to bounce to the code for a PR, and the invocation to go to a PR changes four times a day? I agree that that that makes sense if you have thirty long-running PRs open at any given time and you don't have brainpower to remember branches anyway, and that's very reasonable for a big open-source project, but that's not all use cases.

Nope. You can use the ICO like the IPO. You just need to follow the regulation required. Obviously, they opted for an ICO to avoid that.

Thanks for the answer. Strong point on the directness of the french press: fewer points of failure, and more uniform process.

Put Building Data Culture Ahead of Buying Data Analytics

(Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?)
We're watching some nursery rhymes (Farmees) on YT now, it's as good as TV (!), it's low effort but there far worse things IMO educationally/recreationally.

Is it all TV you object to for this age range or just when it's served via YouTube?

Mind you, as an aside, we're using FireTV so we won't be allowed by Google to have YouTube from January ...
256 players get drafted every year. There are 124 DI football teams with a max of 85 scholarships per year. If every player made it to their senior year, and the draft only took seniors, and every class was the same size, a player would have < 10% chance of getting drafted. That's a lot of "ifs" just make it to the pro level, and that does NOT get you paid!

That says nothing of the odds of actually making a roster in year one, and says even less of sticking around the league long enough for those big paydays to set you up after retirement.

Basically, if you're playing the odds, the expected value of a college football scholarship isn't bolstered much by the professional payday. Nearly all the value is in that college degree (paid for by scholarship). So graduating with a degree that you can turn into a career is the best play BY FAR.

That takes us to graduation rates. These seem to be fudged a bit since, well, it's in the programs' interests to hide poor performance. You can do your own digging. Lots of articles about this, and it's not terribly great. The NCAA has their bookeeping, the football programs have theirs, and most expert agree that neither counts accurately. Best case, graduation rates are in line with general student graduation rates. Worst case, not even close.

Of course it varies by university, but in Iowa the state universities (possibly with the exception of UNI) pay for their athletic programs using no tax dollars. Of course there are still millions donated to athletics which doesn't help the greater student body.

If schools didn't have athletic programs, would the donations have been made to the university at large?

4k support on Windows 10 is ok. Most major applications work but there are little things, like my home screen photo last night wasn't high enough resolution. For me they aren't usually a big deal, but coming from the Mac ecosystem you definitely notice them
I depend on this machine to pay my rent, keep the lights on, keep insulin in my kid, keep us all fed.

If this machine bites the dust, I swap out the part or I restore from Time Machine. At least with this machine, I have the option of swapping out the part.

It's not some mystical black box. These are standard PC parts that are supported by macOS. I think I only use two kexts that aren't shipped with macOS to get to 100%.
An insane amount of spending is just a dick measuring and box checking competition between schools. They're worried that when some entry level journalist needs to write another top-ten article to meet their quota they won't be on the list and that when some other publication read by college counselors aggregates all those BS lists they won't make the cut.

In dining services we'd spread ourselves super thin in order to check boxes and QoS would slide. Then we'd get a bunch of complaints about QoS and cut back. Wash rinse repeat.
Patent Reform: U.S. Inventor Act Goes to Congress
Well not if you aren't using other parts of Windows :-) but if you are constrained to using Windows for other reasons then the advantage is you get all the tools with a much lighter weight system than say running a virtual machine.

There are also some systems where kernel support for the devices is lagging, either because they are proprietary and poorly documented or because they have insufficient market penetration to get someone interested in writing good driver support. For example support for the pen on the Surface Pro 4 line is really horrible (IMHO) on Linux.
I wrote ARCcore.filter to solve many of the issues discussed.

I think the comparable others are Berkley's data science and Stanford Master of Science in CS (I think it can be achieved fully online, but as opposed to GA Tech, they charge full on-campus tuition). If you get accepted and can afford it, go to Stanford. But I'd say GA Tech is definitely the next choice. Stanford is ranked #1 GA Tech is ranked #9, does it really matter? I don't know, but #1 will cost you around $70,000 and #9 will cost you around $7,000. So if you ignore ranking, I'd say in terms of rigor, I don't have evidence that GA Tech is any less rigorous than Stanford. You do get a GRE waiver at GA Tech OMSCS, I don't think you do at Stanford...
There's quite a bit. The services dialog is blurry. The dialog that details the network devices is blurry. I have an ongoing battle with IntelliJ and PyCharm, fonts are all broken.

Again: this is not "slippery slope" as Cloudflare is already at the bottom of the slope. I will implore you, as well, to actually pay attention to the facts of the situation--one that includes an active case playing out right now in court--as opposed to trying to knee-jerk your way to a victory by playing Internet argument fallacy cards.

I realize that you are probably very used to people making this argument just assuming the conclusion: I do not in general (and have been going around giving talks about the failure of centralization from the perspective of "let's be very careful to not theorize and only look at concrete situations that have already come to pass") and have not done that here either (instead, I showed why this scenario is the same as the one being played out with the same actor--Cloudflare--for which we already know the conclusion: they are in court, right now, getting beaten up over blocking a site and are furiously backpedaling).

> ... it might hit the sweet spot for studios that need a powerful desktop they can easily carry to the set.

I've met a couple of Data Grips before (the guys who manage all the digital files on set). First, these guys are hired on contract and they usually need to have some of their own equipment. And second, they all use macbook pros... and stacks upon stacks of hard drives. The macbook is their personal computer that they use for all their jobs and carry around in backpack. The hard drive arrays are owned by the production company and are kept in sturdy boxes on wheels so they can be moved around the set easily and locked up at night.

It's a joke to think that data grips are going to buy a desktop computer and lug it around everywhere. You don't do any editing on set, just store the video and edit it in the shop. The on set computers are just throughputs to the hard drive arrays. Even in the shop, the rendering isn't done on the computers you do the editing on. The production company probably doesn't even do the final rendering, they'll just ship off the uncompressed files to a post-production company to handle all that.
