It's sad to see that peer to peer is not utilized more, since it scales so well.

The overbearing copyright propaganda has given BitTorrent a bad name, even though it has so many other uses.
That was the driverless truck startup acquired by Uber and currently a shit show of a lawsuit. Different thing.
As someone who did a lot of ecstasy in the late 90s, I’m skeptical about how much actual sex is happening at these ecstasy fueled parties.

Back when I was going to ecstasy-fueled weekend-long after parties at peoples houses, there was a lot more talking, hugging and dancing happening than sex.

I think people who haven’t tried ecstasy have a really skewed idea about how people behave on it. Mostly you just want to listen to music and dance and talk. You often couldn’t have sex even if you wanted to.
There really is a place in this world for straight up news.

I think the original patchset is from December 4th: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/4/709 though I could be mistaken.
That supposes that there was no intent to leave the loopholes in. "It's not a bug, it's a feature"
I don't think this issue is related to rowhammer. I think people have been speculating about rowhammer because it's a famous hardware bug, but none of the details of page table isolation seem to align with a rowhammer-based attack.
> Just alleging that something could be wrong isn't enough, reasonable doubt has to have a boundary line somewhere.

IANAL, but wouldn't a presumption of innocence require the prosecution prove that their evidence is not mistaken?
I'm amazed that no one seems to think it's creepy. Go around taking covert photos of strangers these days and see how people react...
These are all based on a saying from the early 19th century about the foolishness of trying to do something impossible, e.g. “It is conjectured that Mr. Murphee will now be enabled to hand himself over the Cumberland river or a barn yard fence by the straps of his boots.” (1834)

An earlier tall tale (from the 18th century or before) is that the fictional Baron Munchausen pulled himself out of a swamp by his own hair. Often the bootstrap saying is claimed to come from this source, but there’s not much proof of that, and it’s probably a misattribution.

In computing, the idea of “bootstrapping” (“booting”) dates from the 1950s, and refers to a computer starting with some simple capabilities which can read some data in and go through a series of steps each of which increases its capability, until it has been fully initialized. Metaphorically, the computer is pulling itself up by its own bootstraps rather than getting an external boost.

There are many other later uses of this idea of “bootstrapping”, including in statistics (from the late 1970s) and theoretical physics.
Bitrise has been great for us at work as well, but we're beginning to investigate Microsoft's CI platform since we build web/desktop apps as well, which aren't a first class citizen in Bitrise.

Fwiw: We also wish there was a way to publish test/linting results (you can make it an artifact, but it won't load assets, so you're stuck zipping and downloading or publishing to your own managed Web server)
The definition of 'expected' comes from the tax code and the government. The article itself states that the governments are expecting more revenue than they are receiving from these companies. Why are they expecting more? Because the companies spend more money finding ways to stash it offshore than the current employees at the government offices can spend to find and estimate the losses that will incur from a company creating its own loopholes for the future.

It messes up government planning and spending by cheating them out of money that they were expecting based on the profits from the company.

It's clear cut.

> Sure, it's just that some might prefer charities.

Charities don't build roads or other infrastructure, or test food for safety concerns, or build other large scale useful works that life people out of poverty at scale.

> you need to be able to explain how a massive change in CO2 and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere will not result in warming.

It's not so easy to be sure about the warning produced by the CO2 because a very big part is the "Climate Sensibility". And there is no straightforward way to calculate the climate sensibility, you must use climate models. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_sensitivity#Radiative_...

> CO2 climate sensitivity has a component directly due to radiative forcing by CO2, and a further contribution arising from climate feedbacks, both positive and negative. "Without any feedbacks, a doubling of CO2 (which amounts to a forcing of 3.7 W/m2) would result in 1 °C global warming, which is easy to calculate and is undisputed. The remaining uncertainty is due entirely to feedbacks in the system, namely, the water vapor feedback, the ice-albedo feedback, the cloud feedback, and the lapse rate feedback";[14] addition of these feedbacks leads to a value of the sensitivity to CO2 doubling of approximately 3 °C ± 1.5 °C, which corresponds to a value of λ of 0.8 K/(W/m2).
I feel it is due to its complexity. The complexity is caused by rent seeking behaviour. I see shades of it here in Clay Shirky's essay: http://www.shirky.com/weblog/2010/04/the-collapse-of-complex...
Generating Art with Code: Doodling, Math and Cornucopias
Charities are no replacement for a functioning democratic government. Charities do not build large scale infrastructure or keep populations safe or anything as powerful as a functioning government can do to lift citizens out of suffering and poverty.
The real problem React solves is enabling many people to work on parts of the same page without stepping on each other. The declarative nature is brilliant, but if the messy MVC diagram slides in the reveal presentation are real, then I feel confident in labeling React this way.
> Maybe the lifestyle is different as a VC, but as an engineer, this seems so disjointed from reality that it's almost farcical.

Engineer here. Yeah, headlines should stop saying "Silicon Valley". How about "Rich Entrepreneur's Secretive, Orgiastic Side."?
At that point, is there much point in using Jenkins? Aren't there much lighter weight alternatives?
>Exactly this. The term is "fiduciary responsibility". Their directors could be sued for paying unnecessary tax

Directors have a responsibility to the corporation, they have no fiduciary responsibility to shareholders.

No shareholder would win a case against a corporation for 'paying too much tax' any more than they would win a case against a corporation for paying the directors or the CEO too much money.

This myth needs to die already.
A common refrain: practice X is packaged by its purveyors as the sine qua non of enlightened thinking and action. But ultimately, it is argued, ends up reinforcing the establishment status quo. Can be applied universally to everything from the gig economy to young blood infusions.

In this context, however, I believe we are witnessing an unprecedented and radical redefinition of traditional monogamy in real-time.

Naturally, social media plays a fundamental role in the re-thinking of modern monogamy. And one can't help but infer some connection between a platform and its creator's biases.

At root is perhaps a philosophy born in the heyday of the Haight-Ashbury scene. Free Love. The idea that anyone can share intimacy with any one else. Without possessiveness. Without jealousy. Without betrayal. As long as there is explicit consent.

It's not even a modern idea. Some elements are found in Plato's Republic. Fertility rites attended by the entire polis. Followed by newborns becoming wards of the state. To be raised with egalitarian love. And no parent showing any preference for their own offspring over another.

But does it actually work in practice? Are we actually wired for pan-amory?

That article says only 7% of Indians in America voted for trump. Also the ones who were voting for him were affluent. Which means that they likely have permanent resident status, or very strong visa status, and/or legitimately very strong educational and work credentials like a MD from India and completed residency in the US, or a degree from IIT and an advanced degree in the US.

> Longer term, Son will have to do a better job articulating how his deals fit together. At the company's annual shareholders meeting in June, he closed with an awkward video the company has used for years to explain its view of technology’s future. It opens with a blond man wandering among stone ruins. “Sorrow is inherent to the human condition,” he says, staring into the camera. “Since the beginning of time, humans have sought to overcome sorrow.” The clip goes on to explain how technology will connect people on opposites sides of the world and allow them to share thoughts and ideas. It closes with the man wading through a field of waist-high grass. “Together we'll open the doors to a new century of happiness and joy,” he says. Bafflement ensued.

> Even as his allies describe it, Son's vision seems like garden-variety optimism about a technological future that has been enunciated by many industry leaders: a trillion connected devices, generating data that will be analyzed by artificial intelligence to supposedly make the world a better place.

This almost sounds like a Silicon Valley TV show parody, where Hooli’s CEO tries to articulate his vision of fixing the human condition in a series of awkward TV ads and speeches.

As respectfully as possible: it sounds like you and your wife have not really sorted this. Which isn't some harsh criticism. The world today is largely dumping a lot on hetero couples and leaving it up to them to figure out what works when time honored tradition no longer does.

If you can find a copy of the book "Chore Wars," maybe that would be useful.

I don't disagree with you that domestic chores need to be streamlined as part of the solution. But the subtext of your long comment is just a whole lot of anger at "women," which probably means at the state of things between you and your wife, and kicking an internet stranger is less harmful to your life than just taking it out on your wife.

But I ain't crazy about being kicked, no matter how much I can understand the dynamic likely driving it.
This feels like a weird time to say good riddance. Is this an anti-serverless post, or...?

I was one of the original engineers on MP3.com.

Shortly after our music locker service debuted, we got sued by all the major labels. I spent 4 months writing tools to pull all the discovery data for their lawsuits.

When it was apparent our court case was going south, the major music publishers sued us as well (lead by Harry Fox Agency). I spent another 4 months pulling discovery data for those lawsuits.

When those court cases trended badly for us, we got sued by every 2 bit operation that owned a partial percentage of the country-based rights to a song (ie, one company may of owned 4% the rights of a song in the United States and 10% in Mexico and 9.3% in Ireland, with another company owning 1.3%, 40%, .5% respectively). I spent another 4 months pulling discovery data for those lawsuits.

Finally, after we where acquired by Vivendi Universal and they took on our liabilities, I spent almost a year writing tools for them to pay these partial percentages. Have you ever had to split 1 cent via check between 3 parties? It's not fun.

Moral of this boring story is Spotify better win this fast and clean or they are in a world of pain; I can never get those 2 years of my life back.
(porting my comment over from my dupe)

Corporations are optimization processes. Advertising is an optimization process. Social networks are. Smartphone addiction. Political polarization. Television, mobile games, and most forms of entertainment.
This prevalence, and the fact that it's not EVIL doing it but just amoral goal-directed processes, seems to me to be the key to recognizing, fighting back, and fixing society.

We have to figure out some way to fight for our human values, against these optimization processes. I don't think Stross has (or claims to have) a strong answer there... any ideas?
I think only music owners are allowed to post to YT, so they don't need a license like Spotify would.
While that could be a factor, it usually amounts to a combination of poor targeting, and other harder to control factors like loss of cookie data and cross-device tracking challenges that can easily create these situations.

It is much messier to manage in real life than people think.
Wow, looks like a great opportunity to create a competing service that supports iOS / Android.
> Spotify's insanely exploitative model, which sees its officers making millions while the artists who provide the content get pocket change - if that.

That's not just Spotify's model; it's music labels' model.

Also, I wonder if in today's world (with more gender equality) if some of the female participants might actually not have wanted to be intimate.
I'm an Android fan/Apple hater but I could never recommend anything other than going iOS first for any business interesting in maximizing profit. I actually like to push react native just so clients won't completely ignore Android when see the cost of porting. But really, really I will push PWAs over apps whenever they are suitable.
Hi. Do you have any Machine Learning Intern roles for summer 2018?
Well, the printing press was a singularity in the availability of information. The atom bomb was a singularity in defense and war. The Singularity is supposed to be a singularity in everything, or at least in enough of them that we can become gods (immortal, all-knowing and close enough to all-powerful).

And this discussion prompts a new thought: What are the military applications of The Singularity? (Don't bother saying that we're all going to live in peace and harmony after it happens. We won't.)
Yeah, maybe they are opening up a shop in Vancouver.
Don't know about you, but I tend to vote for politicians that enact my policy preferences.
Yeah, noticed that when I tried Firefox. Super easy to login via my phone to authorize it, so not sure what the point is on Google playing hardball.
If ZenHub works for your team, sweet. If the business is operating at a scale that ZenHub can serve adequately, you're probably not an ideal customer of JIRA. There's a tipping point along two different axes where JIRA becomes worthwhile.

One axis is number of people actively using the tracker for a single project — I personally think that threshold is around 50 people^1. Another is workflow complexity — very few tools are as capable of mapping business processes to software as JIRA^2.

1. Careful, there's another threshold at which JIRA becomes painfully slow. At that point you either move to something that's less adequate in nearly-every way but scales or you start splitting JIRA instances by department or project.

2. Careful here as well! Poorly created JIRA workflows are probably _the_ #1 reason people hate using it. Users learn a highly customized JIRA workflow and think it's absolutely bonkers that Atlassian did this to them, when really it's their company's customizations that are causing the pain.
>more likely for welfare assistance than men

I don't see how it cancels my argument other than highlighting even bigger wealth distribution imbalance in favor of women.
Obviously, you can open a torrent client just fine in Germany.

However, there's bunch of companies monitoring popular torrent trackers and since it's all peer-to-peer, they can easily figure out your IP address as soon as you start downloading a torrent they're monitoring (they usually work for a particular distribution company and have a list of files they're interested in). Popcorn Time and similar apps are a common and obvious target.

Once they know your IP address, ISPs are required to disclose your personal data (§ 101 UrhG) and they'll send you a nice letter requesting a payment (Abmahnung). If you do not pay, they might sue you (but probably won't).

If they do sue you, it's on them to prove that it was indeed you who used the IP address at the time, which is - in most cases - an impossible feat.

So, yes, you're highly likely to get in trouble if you torrent in Germany, but you'd probably win of you fight it.
No. My original comment stated "These are issues that can be worked on in parallel."
YouTube is different though because as soon as you have visuals accompanying the audio you are in sync rights territory which is the kind of royalty that e.g. television broadcasters pay. Same goes for Twitch.
In case anyone was wondering as I was before I searched around for it, Dr. Bourke actually has a good number of other resources available on his faculty site including lecture notes/PDFs for searching/sorting, data structures, security/cryptography, trees, and more.

This is absurd. People on H1-B pay taxes like Americans - i.e Social security, Medicare, State, federal, sales, property...

They're, however, not eligible for ANY of the social safety net they subsidize America for, (no social security, unemployment, Medicare, etc). They're overwhelmingly peaceful, law abiding residents with higher education, most earning in the top 5%.

Abuse of the system is not by the recipients, but the companies enabling the abuse - punish the companies, not the innocent, tax paying, peaceful, law abiding residents who don't wake up every morning saying "Today, I want to replace an American job and suppress some wages, dream FUCKING LIFE".

If this law does pass, I believe those being asked to leave should sue the US for repayment of Social security and Medicare taxes paid - after all they're non resident aliens and should be taxed as such. Ludicrous restrictions like not being allowed open their own businesses, killing any chance of monetizing a side hustle is another opportunity cost that the govt. cannot compensate for - and it may even be illegal, after all bringing an idea to life is free speech!

Most of all, if this is squarely an anti-India policy, India should return the favor in kind and add tariffs to American businesses & individuals benefiting from trading with India. A page from Trump's own playbook is the only answer that'll get through to him.
