We Can’t Tell If Tech Is Doing Better on Diversity Because the Data Stinks
Over the past handful of months, I've built up the company Code Sponsor (https://codesponsor.io). In December, I had to shut it down due to the inability to continue on GitHub.

Here's an article I published on why funding open source is difficult: https://medium.com/@codesponsor/why-funding-open-source-is-h...
What I feel is lacking from your response is looking inwards : did you actually read the post.

Answer : I made a huge mistake to blame people for not doing what they clearly did. This mistake has led to my defensive shit-posting.

I know it sounds obvious, but still.
The number is without question much smaller than the current market cap of BTC. The current price and number of shares traded on the exchanges is not very meaningful since exchanges are unregulated and you have behavior such as wash trading where you can manipulate the price and inflate volume.

What I would like to know is how much money has actually been transferred into the exchanges. That is what matters. If Coinbase has 12 million accounts, and on average only $100 was invested (I'm assuming there are MANY opened yet unfunded accounts), then we're talking about $1.2billion at play moving back and forth on that exchange. (this is just a hypothetical number, I would love Coinbase to produce statistics, but know they have no incentive to.)

If no new accounts get opened and no more money flows in, That $1.2b will slowly drop to zero as Coinbase and the miners eat up that pool with fees.
Read the Rolling Stone article where it explains how the light field tech works. It's nothing at all like a conventional display, but rather treats the eye as a filter and delivers to the eye the photons necessary to cause your _visual cortex_ to render the desired image. That's what makes this so different from any other VR/AR/mixed platform out there.

Edit: Let me quote the article instead of explaining it poorly:

"What that would mean is that the brain grabs more information and renders more detail when it needs to. And that completely changed the way Abovitz and his team were thinking about the light field problem. Suddenly, if the theory was right, technology didn’t need to capture the entirety of the light field and recreate it, it just needed to grab the right bits of that light field and feed it to the visual cortex through the eye...He was sure if they could create a chip that would deliver the right parts of a light field to the brain, he could trick it into thinking it was seeing real things that weren’t there. The realization meant that they were trying to get rid of the display and just use what humans already have."
Here's the stickiest thing about this entire thing to me: the name.

Roger Ver (one of the people behind bcash) has said repeatedly that he believes that his fork deserves the name "Bitcoin" and that it is the "real" bitcoin. It seems obvious that the intent here is to confuse people.

This, to me, seems like blatant fraud. It is concerning to me that coinbase would continue to allow this market confusion to build by listing this under the name "bitcoin cash". Things like this make me long for better regulation in this space.

Full disclosure: I say this as somebody who holds both bitcoin and bcash in nearly equal amounts. I mean to say that I don't really have a dog in this fight.

Oh gotcha, yep those are the lengths of the trails, but I can see why you would be confused. If I add a 'distance from' label for each trail when searching via nearby/radius, it probably be less confusing. This feedback is really helpful though thanks a lot!
You are moving the goal posts. I put my estimate in the same context you put your estimate in (no over subscription, 100% continuous usage etc).

The ISP doesn't pay both sides, but someone pays somewhere. So, if we are talking about the "cost of peering" it doesn't serve to talk about it from only one side.

You can get more than 16 ports in the 5u unit, so rent is probably under-amortized but not by the two order of magnitudes that would make up the difference between my estimate and your original.

Peering is not a major cost for ISPs because ISPs don't have a lot of peers. As more services want direct peering relationships, there are some overhead costs which go up to manage the explosion of peering relationships.

My initial objection was that you over-simplified. I feel pretty fine resting on my argument as is. You may have the last word. I cede all my remaining time to whomever wants it.
Reality would be closer to this: imagine you participated to the choice of the menu in the past, ate it, participate of the choice of the next menus in the future and commited to pay your share. You even eat some of the first courses in each menus, but before the end of the meal, you decide to get out and pay what you want of what you have started to eat and none of what you ordered next.
Brexiters wanted to continue to eat without paying : that's not even close to what's needed to negociate with the EU.
Relevant quote from that link:

"Instead, Falcon Heavy will take a page from the Space Shuttle’s book and will employ a staggered start sequence – like main engine start on Shuttle where each main engine started 120 milliseconds after the previous.

For Falcon Heavy, it is understood that two engines will be lit simultaneously followed by the next two… and so on until all 27 are up and running."

> I believe if you are in this country ilegally you should be deported. Apparantly, according to many many liberals, that makes me a "racist."

sometimes people present reductive versions of an argument and drop relevant contextual information and then complain that others respond unfairly. that said, favoring deportation for unlawful entry - wholly absent of any context or further data - doesn't contain much information to assert 'racist'.

however, there are serious 'racial implications' of various immigration policies, such as the 'papers please' arizona law, which says officers can harass people simply by being 'suspicious that the individual is an illegal immigrant'. if a person's status is unknown, the means by which such suspicion is derived would seem to principally lie within racial profiling and similar tactics. among other problems, this profiling creates an unreasonable burden on american citizens that are hispanic (particularly those of mestizo heritage).
Damning with faint praise if the best we can say about our actions is “hey, at least we’re not as bad as this globally cataclysmic asteroid impact”.
He paid for what he agreed to pay, looking at the menu and everything. If he's changed his mind, that's his problem.

IME, pretty much all the over-the-top cable alternatives right now, are, unfortunately, crappily enough designed that they're most effective as a way of generating a set of credentials to plug into the ESPN, Fox, etc, standalone apps and never using them directly. Which makes the only advantage compared to a "traditional" cable account be the price... Which, to be fair, is still a nice advantage, if you don't get the benefit of sweet bundle discounting anyway for whatever reason.

Oh I definitely read it, not spelled it out but definitely not rushed it.

I just expressed my feelings.
Is that why women and black people can vote, because what citizens think and their voices don't matter?

Is that why gay people can get married in the US (but not in 160 other countries), because what US citizens think doesn't count? (the majority in the US support gay marriage)

Is that why the house and US Senate recently voted almost perfectly in step, overwhelmingly in favor, of rolling back civil asset forfeiture abuses? Congress has nothing to fear from it, they do however know their voters are angry about it.

Is that why the Obama Admin put net neutrality into place, because votes & voices don't matter? It was in fact overwhelmingly demanded by Obama's voters. Votes, of course, matter in a big way as it turns out: had Hillary bothered to fight for the blue wall state voters, we'd still have net neutrality.

You should care. Uber has lobbied in my state to not be classified as a taxi (or common carrier), and their drivers are classified as independent contractors. They were able to successfully lobby for this classification by guaranteeing a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy for injury caused by their drivers.

If your injuries due to driver negligence exceed this amount (which is very possible if you are severely injured and become disabled for the rest of your life, unable to work), you have no recourse. You cannot currently go after Uber because they are not classified as a common carrier. You are screwed.
There are certain things charities don't or can't do. I can't donate to a charity and have them repair a local bridge for example. And my donation wouldn't move the needle on nearly any government project. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of people in my situation. You can take a penny from each of them and it would beat my donation. That is the whole point of taxes, to pool our money together for the greater good. You can't run a country on just the charitable generosity of its people. Things like infrastructure would never get built in that world.

Literally, in this case.
that needs to be a plot point for the new ST series :-)
The blocking people asking about it on Twitter is what leads me to be concerned. While there may be an explanation, blocking third parties trying to get your side of the story seems to imply there’s something they feel they need to hide from.

Violence is a proven effective tool and it is used as a last resort (to be considered justified).
There is no denying people are feeling powerless and not represented.

Your method of protesting doesn't work if you care about the national debt, quantitative easing, inflation, interest rates, crony capitalism, the rent economy, the value of your money growing worthless day by day while the cost of living is artificially getting higher despite technological advances.

What do you do to address those issues? Not participate in the economy? Create your own currency, your own bank and somehow escape regulation? Vote?

They keep pushing people into a corner and expecting us to submit. Technological innovation (e.g cryptocurrencies, encrypted wallets, globalisation etc.) and violence are the only tools we have to fight back. Any other system (e.g voting) has been gamed to serve their interest or rendered useless (e.g protesting but don't be inconvenient)

Don't get me wrong, your vote still counts (in non gerrymandered districts) and I'm sure you can voice your opinion on gay marriage; but the stuff that actually matters, you are voiceless and expected to obey or die.
If the concern is interrupting the hype machine, why not use reaction videos? That worked for Enchroma glasses, which is in a very similar position: both are about doing something with your vision by wearing glasses, making it hard (impossible in Enchroma's case) to capture on video.

I think that already exists. The political subculture is "privacy nut" computer nerds who wear EFF shirts. There just aren't that many of them.
This happens today and has for about 10 years. Each piece of content consumed hits an API endpoint at the cable company with an OAuth token requesting access to the content. If it's granted, a DRM key is sent. If it's rejected, it's not. The video players send metrics back to the cable companies and refresh the key periodically.
The best way for Google to solve this problem, is to block all ads by default in chrome, remove ads on google.com, and charge users a yearly fee to click to the next page on any search result. Thus you have users paying real money to use google's full search feature. Everyone is happy.
Flash degradation literally only affects writes. Android has had TRIM since 2013. Writes in no universe make the OS run "noticeably slower" (or lead to "lag"), even if your claim was proven.

There are literally billions of Android devices. Benchmarking file system performance is trivial. Ergo, where are the benchmarks supporting your broad claims? This should be incredibly easy to demonstrate. We do know that it happened pre TRIM because people had factory new and after use benchmarks, and could show the decline.

Blocking people on twitter doesn't mean anything, and this blog post came out today so I'm sure the agency is working on writing something with actual proof to respond with.
...is to believe that all the accusers are lying.

For those I don't believe in holding the accusers guilty until proven innocent...

You've used this kind of phrasing a few times, but strictly speaking, not believing the accuser is not the same as accusing them of any crime -- being wrong is a not a crime.

It seems to me that you are saying, that practically speaking we either hold the accused guilty-until-proven-innocent, or we hold the accusers guilty-until-proven-innocent -- we have have to make a choice, in the absence of proof. Is my understanding correct?

Looking at the file format limitations [1], it doesn't seem like a good fit for an alternative to ODT files. (A cursory judgment based solely on this wiki page has me wondering if they are using the best data structure for an Index, but again, very cursory.)

A question is why you would want to replace the current ODT format? "Just" a zipped up file tree of XML documents and image assets is a pretty robust format choice. There are unzip programs on almost every platform. XML isn't always everyone's favorite markup language, but it's well supported by almost every language ecosystem, and still roughly okay to humanly eyeball if needed. The relative inefficiencies of the textual encoding and verbosity of XML are directly suited for compression efficiency of a Zip file. For most trade-offs of a document file, it's a somewhat resilient option, with likely a long shelf life (both zip and XML technologies have lasted enough decades, and are reasonably well standardized enough, that you can imagine they will continue to be unzippable/readable decades from now).

Speaking as a user, many developers are, pardon my French, shit, and will take every mile for any inch given to them.

Look at the iOS App Store after Apple introduced subscriptions: Even the most inane apps are now asking for monthly and yearly subscriptions.

Like, what is even the point of, say, a text editor having a monthly subscription? “To justify development costs”, they write elaborate blogs about. Even though they used to be perfectly fine with a pay-once model for years before. Even though everyone was perfectly happy with buying an incrementally-numbered “Text Editor N” every year, IF they needed to.

Some (like Day One I think) try to justify it by charging for features that Apple can provide for free, like iCloud Sync, and reinventing that wheel with their own paid solutions for that.

As a user I was happier with the weekly blog whining about Apple’s draconian walled garden, compared to this subscription-infested market now.

This is an area where Apple needs to seriously reconsider all of the third party sources. They just aren't where Google is by themselves. Perhaps using OpenStreetmap as a partner?

TomTom supposedly has a map correction tool but I have never been able to get it to load.

The Apple satellite images are woefully out of date in many places.

Although, Apple does seem to have gotten a lot faster at adding user submitted places to Maps. I wonder if they have some sort of user reputation system in place? I've noticed things I've submitted have been corrected within a couple days. Pins moved, road changes, businesses that have closed/opened, or just adding new places.

It's all OAuth and SAML on the backend. The player asks for authorization to play content from the cable company (since it has to check against a few dozen criteria like entitlements, parental controls, concurrent stream limits, etc.) and is either given authorization or an error. It's honestly pretty simple.
