Yes, I can definitely attest to this. For all of the people saying "start with a monolith", having started with a Monolith I can tell you to start with microservices. Even if they all live on the same box, even if they live in the same process, build your software from the start with microservice architecture in mind (eg: understand your boundaries, develop against them - if you can't break a component behind a boundary into a separate process trivially, it's a bad component).
Facebook Community Standards
You are sending the request for the resources though, e.g. if you load facebook.com there isn't a separate request for ads, they are just loaded as part of the feed. It's very much within their right (contractually) to encumber your usage of the site to rendering the full page as it's served to you. Attempting to fool them into thinking you're rendering the content as presented while you do not actually do that (as a result, imposing on them a net revenue loss) is clearly immoral.

You don't agree to a TOS by watching TV and listening to the radio, the internet is fundamentally different from those media.
A reflection with just 1 microsecond delay would require a 300 meter reflection path (e.g. 150 meter to/from the reflector). I think you might be thinking of multi-path propagation within the context of long-distance communication (e.g., a HAM QSO).

A regular home Wi-Fi network is already a complex multi-path system, as the primary propagation mode is reflections from walls and ceilings, leading to plenty of self-interference with many hot- and cold-spots from constructive and destructive inteference. We are at most introducing a few stronger reflections in an already extremely reflection-heavy environment. The big question is whether it does any good, either through attenuation or gain.

As for MIMO, I must admit to not knowing much about it—I know it utilizes spacial separation to increase bandwidth, but I do not know much of its actual implementation, and thereby weaknesses.

There was some stretch of time where I'd visit his blog once every week or so and catch up. He has a tendency to take Apple flaws and spin them as good things. Even when he does criticize Apple it's only half heartedly.

I find it interesting that people claim that the hub and spoke model is being phased out. It's not...it's being expanded. There are more hubs, and hubs are expanding the reach of their spokes, and that means more cities where you can find direct flights to or from.

The expansion of the number of cities in the US that fly direct to London is because the London hubs have expanded its reach to US cities. In the absence of an airline hub there, you would never find a direct flight to London from Seattle or New Orleans. In fact, you can prove this out yourself: find the list of non-seasonal direct international flights available from your local airport. Of those, filter out the flights that are seasonal, or on an airline for which your local airport is a hub. Then filter out all the flights where the destination is a hub for that specific airline. What is left? For me, nothing [0].

The trend in aviation isn't point to point. It is more hubs with longer reaches. The A380 failed because it is an extremely expensive behemoth with a single solitary benefit that could only ever be realized at megahubs that were already maxed out on 747s: it eased slot constraints. Airlines responded to slot constraints like they should have, by spreading out to more hubs with fewer slot constraints...not by buying a steaming pile of extremely expensive garbage.

fish shell does exactly what you say, out of the box. c/p below:

If influence, specifically political influence, and wealth could be perfectly decoupled, no reason. That nexus, however, means an oligarchical class of rich idiots have the capability to project their stupidity onto national policy.

Bitcoin does not exist outside of modern technology. It’s very existence relies on the internet. But the internet isn’t some nebulous thing that exists in a void outside of human economy. So there’s a fundamental cost in a currency other than bitcoin that must be paid in that other currency before the bitcoin transaction may take place. In the language of Econ, Bitcoins transaction costs include interacting with another (more broad) currency. The value of bitcoin then will, must always be dependent upon another currency. Hardly seems the Libertatian panacea that it’s made out to be.

As for Krugman and predictions, one never makes a prediction without a hearty dose of humility. Predictions are the playthings of fools. Believe me, he knows that. But predictions still produce clicks and views.

Edit-

One might liken bitcoins value through Greshams law (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham%27s_law ).

This is actually one of the best authors people can read from. Regarding your second link, Krugman has already admitted his prediction did not come to pass.

On a number of issues Krugman has proven a good deal more accurate than other economists, such as:
-Whether or not Federal Reserve would cause inflation
-Whether the stimulus in 2008 would help the economy
-Whether or not Obamacare would work
and more on his near daily blogging/tweeting.

Sure he's definitely made mistakes, but who hasn't, and at least he has owned up to them.
"encouraging people to waste energy by paying them to do so is not good environmental policy."

It came to a point (for HN and RSS readers) where I would check articles every hour. It culminated with me mindlessly clicking article links, reading the title, scrolling through it (not reading), just familiarizing myself with single words passing through my hyper short attention-span, and getting a "feel" for what the article looked like. It was quite a scary when I did this one time for 30 minutes not remembering anything I have "read" whatsoever.

I am still struggling with this a bit but I am more aware now and try to be mindful of what I read. A neat trick I have found is to try to just check once a week using the search tool (popular past week):

https://hn.algolia.com/?q=&query=&sort=byPopularity&prefix&p...

I fail at this quite often, but a weekly mindful check is what I am aiming for
Bitcoin as unit of account (measure of value) does not exist. Products sold in bitcoin are priced in local conventional currencies and bitcoin price is altered frequently to match the changes in Bitcoin valuations.

Now somebody may say "That's now but wait until Bitcoin takes over the world." That's a another problem. Global currency or fixing exchange rates is not a good idea (Bretton Woods was a failure). There is thing called optimum currency area. Euroarea is in trouble because it misses many criteria for optimum currency area. They are fixing them now. Without global fiscal union, world government and free movement of labour, global currency and single global unit of account is not a good thing.

As a payment system it's already choking and can't easily move value form one person to another. You need intermediaries and intermediaries between intermediaries to fix the system. If you end up using Visa or Mastercard payment system to pay in BTC what's the point?

I think cryptocurrencies and have a place in the future, but Bitcoin is not it.

The A340 was not competitive. The cost of a 4 engine plane with the seating of a large twin.

Beautiful plane, though, very quiet near the front.

Absolutely. To me it was damned if you do, damned if you don't. A lot of industrial jiu-jitsu going on at that level.

I would add Netflix to the list. In my social circle, people keep watching episode after episode and just feel a compulsion to "finish" the series even the quality is sub par and degraded. I have been there and uninstalled netflix years ago. The series always start out well and then degrades to the point where you are just addicted and cannot help watching since you are already vested at that point.
> * Avoiding the privacy implications of ads without restricting access to content

Guaranteed that something like this would also block ads that are "site served" (e.g. Facebook's ads) though. Pretty difficult to make a privacy argument there since you're tracked exactly the same way there by nature of using the site.
Thanks for the source! So on the bright side, we can now logically put Israel in a list.
Let's say it depends on the goods you smuggle.

When I started using a password manager I did something similar, but I told myself every site which used the "insecure" password was linked. So I'd ask myself "If someone hacked the least consequential site I've used this password on, they'd also have hacked this site, do I care?"

It was very rare that the extra 30 seconds to add a new entry password manager wasn't justified after asking myself that question.

I think it all comes down to ease. Yes, some secure passwords is better than none, but it's just soooo easy I'd just say go with the PM
No, it's worse: I doubt the existence of reliable journalism :)

Reading 20-year old "quality" news magazines makes me think so. Numerous personal experiences make me think so. Ads in quality newspapers and their subtle or not so subtle political affiliations make me think so.

Reality is extremely complex. Journalists, even when they are honest, neutral, capable and of good will, struggle with it. Especially when they try to come up with a polished story. I know this is the case for unimportant events happening nearby, so I assume it's especially true for complex, confusing situations in very different parts of the world.

Getting confused by reading totally different accounts of the same event, is what makes me smarter. Because this confusion accurately reflects reality. Getting confused happens to me way more often while reading the internet (or when talking to real people) than when reading The Economist.

For the record: I'm not condoning intentional disinformation. And I do want to know about important events.

Your link is seriously confusing (the article itself is correct, but your reading of it is not), because there have been several iterations of the travel ban, and the first one that Trump had after promising a Muslim ban during the campaign, and which Rudy Giuliani referred to in an interview as a Muslim ban, was thrown out, but your article is about a later, modified travel ban (that underwent a more serious legal review). One reason people call it a Muslim ban is because some of the people involved in creating it have called it that, which is not dishonest.

If somebody says that a certain travel ban was thrown out for being a Muslim ban, and you respond that a different travel ban was upheld, then that's just going to mislead people.
But have you been to a church?

I'm not saying you can't make friends at a gym, but churches are generally many magnitudes stronger in this department and I wouldn't say gyms replace them much at all.

Churches generally cover a much wider range of experience and you can talk about all of it. Churches allow you to get philosophical. Churches often have participation in making food and provide food over which people can converse. Gyms mostly focus on the nature of the exercise. So if it's a Crossfit gym, you get really into Crossfit. You don't get into other facets of your life that much, I imagine. You might make friends with whom you talk about those other facets, but that's not the same thing, that's just usual making friends through a shared activity.

I haven't been to Crossfit in particular, but I have been to a few club gyms and that was my experience. Not a place where I could talk about the meaning of life or about various problems. But surely a place I could talk lots about the $exerciseStyle.

In a church, you might not even necessarily make friends, it's more that you can just talk to people about open topics and it's expected.

Depending on how tight your budget is, an Intel NUC might fit the bill.

>Is it not just kinda a given that before speech communication there was drawn image communication (like point at images and grunt)?

No, not really a given at all.

And those are not images -- they form a symbolic language. If we're merely talking about "point to images and grunt" it would concern drawings of animals and stuff, not abstract symbols. Those are already a kind of language.

And even if it was, having the same stock library of symbols used more or less across continents and ages is important enough in itself.
Not really. Many people have older phones, with batteries that fade, so they don't enable auto-listening. Neither iPhone nor Google tap into Prime music via voice, which is a service most pay for, over Apple music or Play.

To play music from my phone right now, I have to swipe to Bluetooth, connect to the speaker, wait for the bloop, switch to my music app, and play. It connects automatically in my car, but not my kitchen, and even in the car, I have to hunt down overcast to play podcasts.

In almost every case, it's faster and easier to shout out to Alexa in my kitchen.

...with one caveat: How long has the system been in place?

We have services that were built and are in the background because they are effectively finished (for now.)

An example would be a service that handles a third party integration. It might get a commit a month once it's built.

From my limited perspective, I look at two warning signs: Do changes require changes to more than two services on a regular basis? Ideally, the majority of changes are limited to one service. If you're propagating changes up a stack, it is going to be a slow change. (The whole point of microservices is that once set up, you can move faster, right?)
From his writing it is clear that he hasn't invested time researching the cryptocoin ecosystem. Who cares if bitcoin is evil it was just a start, and there 's now an entire new financial system being built.

Your own link explains how uncompetitive they are. Boeing's 737s range from 138-200+ passengers, the CS100 is in the 108-133 passenger range. More importantly the CS100 is significantly smaller and lighter, helping make it cheaper to operate on the routes Delta wanted.

So to bid against Bombardier, Boeing didn't even try to offer 737s, knowing they can't fit Delta's needs. Instead they offered 717s and Embrauers, both of which are used (Boeing canceled the 717 over a decade ago).

Sure! I didn't say, "except for perhaps those who buy it," I said, "for those who invest in it."

> Out of those who speculate on it, most do so in tandem with buying bonds and borrowing. Most FX is a cousin of rates trading more than hoping your currency goes up.

I agree, but don't feel like we would split these kinds of hairs when talking about other kinds of investment. Like, do we consider shorts and arbitrage and other more sophisticated forms of dabbling in financial markets to be "not investment" because they aren't "buy a stock; hope it goes up"? Perhaps when in technical discussion, but in common parlance, I feel like this is a distinction driven by emotion.

Disclosure laws impose minimum negative effects on the end-businesses that are required to provide them, while being simultaneously beneficial for consumers. I think they are a good balance and end up being a net positive for society.

A strictly libertarian viewpoint would say that no disclosure should be required and you should just choose to avoid any service that doesn't provide full disclosure. After all, it's their right to not provide that information to you and it's your right to not use that service as a result.
> Germany gave nuclear a chance, even spent billions on a thorium reactor. They learnt that nuclear is expensive and not compatible with their democracy. The currently running plants were built in 80s and will be shut down after running for decades. Much of the cost, i.e. the waste storage will be socialised. The first long term storage site has already failed. There is no public support for building new reactors, nuclear cannot be part Germany's ongoing decarbonisation.

Yeah, it's totally cool to misinform public, and then claim "public does not support nuclear power" . . . NOT.

Current German "decarbonisation" results in more carbon per kWh produced, so job well done I guess. Oh and "nuclear is expensive" - nice, so Germany has cheap energy after turning green?

If you follow Krugman, you'd observe the difference in his opinions on Obama debt and Bush/Trump debt surround the real-world events of economic recovery. Krugman often argues for Keynesian economics[1], in that you should drive up deficits in times of economic hardship, and drive them down in times of economic prosperity.
