And as far as "enjoying life" goes, it's an ever sadder view to place it anywhere aside from luxuries on a society were people are homeless, without healthcare, without steady jobs, working 2-3 jobs, and so on. Not to mention the huge loneliness and depression epidemic, with actual tangible effects on mental and physical health, and wether one can openly smack their partner and electrocute their body parts is quite far from a priority.

It's closer to the "right" to enjoy champagne and oysters than anything fundamental...

Proof of Location – the case for decentralized location systems – FOAM
So...

I have an IP... that IP points to a router, that router port-forwards ports 80 and 443 blindly to a web server, on that web server is a bunch of websites. IIS knows which ones to serve to clients based on a) the host-header, and b) the port.

jaruzel.com:443 is not valid, but because I run an older version of IIS[1], that does not support SNI, the cert is bound to the port, not the host-header. As such any domain name that points to the IP will dump you at that cert if you try to connect on port 443.

Hope this clears up any confusion. :)

Indeed.

The article didn't touch on how this approach reduces friction for buyers, which is hugely important. For the short-to-mid term, I suspect that frictionless shopping is a bigger deal than change in cost structure that comes from booting cashiers.

Their headquarters were in Sweden less than a year ago. Nordea is a merger of a lot of Scandinavian and Finnish banks. I don't think it's fair to call it a Finn bank.
I think they get more functionality faster. As a developer I find it much faster to iterate on a SPA architecture than on the server-side rendering model. Plus if you ever make native apps, it's nicer to manage a single REST API on the server side, rather than bifurcate into an API model and a DOM model. And you can generally get "good enough" performance that way without too much difficulty. Given performance of most devices, I'd say pushing UI from the server side as a performance optimization is high effort low reward in most cases. Unless performance is one of your major differentiators. That said, there are certainly some sites that miss the performance boat completely such that their sites are almost unusable on lower power devices. It's a tradeoff.
They require ID the first time. It's inconvenient, but given the price difference vs. DO, it's very much worth it.
We are not at the point where we can discuss how to penalize websites. Our adversaries own the ecosystem, they are large advertising corporations and they push Javascript on purpose.

What I think can happen is a need for security pushing javascript and maybe some parts of css out of the browser and into a some sort of MITM proxy, that doesn't render anything and runs enough javascript in a sandbox just to extract the content, as almost all of the web is still just the content. And those very rare websites that absolutely require javascript can be allowed to pass through after some cleanup and checks for appearance of suspicious and unusual javascript/css code.
Yeah, and Snowden had so fun time and didn't had to flee and hide from U.S. for the rest of his life at all!
I think we're having a vocabulary problem here; are you using the word "kennel" to mean something like a cage that fits in a seat? I assumed you were talking about a separate compartment in the plane where dogs are stored for the flight.
I must be weird. At no time has the idea of a line ever influenced my decision to go into a convenience store.
Because there's no perfect solution. If a piece of land has that much utility the government could take ownership (possible compensate the owner) and be responsible for maintaining and upkeep.

I mean your example in the UK, I can't believe every landowner that has a public right of way on their property is thrilled about it, especially in cases when they went to do something with their property and the government told them no because of the right of way. What good is owning that property one might wonder? If it's that important to everyone why not have the government purchase it and maintain it?

Every landowner might have a different opinion of what the best solution is. Good luck writing a law that appeases them all.

Isn't that gas $1 because it's heavily subsidized, though?

> Most comparisons to electric vehicles are actually a comparison of a car that runs on gas vs a car that runs on coal, guess which one wins?

Very true, but it depends on your energy provider to these actual numbers. For instance, if I were to buy an electric today and plug it in; 48% of it would be powered by coal, 12% wind, 1% hydro and solar, 7% nuclear, and 32% natural gas and oil (no idea on how much is NG vs oil). Efficiency in production of renewable resources and social pressure would bring this number down.

Or, if money were no object, an array of solar panels (and that price is dropping every year) could easily power my garage and all the things inside it. No coal, no emissions.
No, thanks :D. 50 euros are about 1000 EGP. I could issue 10 passports with that amount of money :D
Tab functionality should be coming shortly, along with other standard browser functionality -- feel free to influence the roadmap with more suggestions :).

It is not available yet for Firefox for Android, though we would like to make it so shortly.

Our app additionally includes a few things:

--Upgraded encryption, in that if we can determine a site works on an encrypted version, we will also send you there automatically.

--Privacy grading, in that we show you at a glance how protected you are, which you can tap to dig into the details. We have more to do, though we've spent a long time trying to make this UX intuitive and informative, including an A-F grading scheme, grouping trackers by networks, and showing you over time who we caught trying to track you.

--Special attention given to blocking while at the same time not breaking the Web.

I've been using DDG on Firefox since day 1.

Disconnect" was killing/blocking the Google's captcha so it had to "go". I am using AdBlock+ (a slightly earlier version when Ctrl+Shift+V still works), NoScript and a BIG hosts file from someonewhocares.

I am more than happy to see and adopt any efforts that would reduce tracking and props to DDG for doing the effort!

I will of course be checking/testing their app on iOS as well!
I wish there was a mention that 5 people can buy the same milk and all can each pay a different price (and none know what the other paid either)

I always thought it would be something to charge a wealthy person more since they can afford it. With GO franchise i could charge $20 for milk to the teacher pensioner backed by my tax dollars; $0.50 to the poor mother of 3 kids, and $10k to jeff bezos. Then I could stop subsidising farmers.

Of course my points are extreme but we never had a way to charge different people this easily

Those curious about early electric vehicles may find this old book, free courtesy of archive.org, very interesting:

Chapter 162(!) at the end is short but entirely about electric trucks and tractors. The rest of the book is mostly electric locomotives and there is also a short section near the end on electric elevators.
No worries at all. I used to work on the Delphi compiler's .net target, so I know many details of the internals from 2.0 to about 3.5 or so and blogged about them a bunch, though with a Delphi bias.

You argument is valid (somewhat), but I don't think that I attract enough traffic on a constant basis, to invest the time and effort to SSL up all my domains.

So far I've had a less than stellar experience with letsencrypt, so I'm not quite ready to go all free-certs just quite yet. It also requires a rebuild of my web-server[1] which I've been putting off for a very long time already.

In England peas are taken from field to frozen in less than 4 hours. It's a remarkable process, and it means people buying frozen peas are getting a very good product.

I'm not an expert, but I think the high-power modes do things like very aggressive caching and branch prediction, etc. to speed things up. So there's a bunch of energy spent on e.g. transferring and storing memory that may never be used, or computing branches that may never be hit. Lower power modes don't do this as aggressively, so they only consume energy for results that will be used.

Plus I'm pretty sure your base voltage has to be higher to run at higher frequency, and non linearly so, to counter various electrostatic effects.
One of the discussion was on the Perl blogs[1]. Most of the devs there are Perl 5 devs and they also decided against the name change. Perl 6 is the next iteration of Perl that has been redesigned from the ground up. Why should it bare a different name? Yes, the redesign took more than a decade and it's incompatible with Perl 5, but so is Python 3.6 compared to 2.7, albeit to a lesser extent. Even Perl 5.26 has changed a lot since 5.6. In fact the least common denominator is 5.10.1. Using older versions is discouraged since they're largely unsupported by the majority of CPAN modules.

I wonder how self-righteous those commenters would be if they were talking about a black person not "talking white enough".

All a sudden, it becomes pretty clear what the conversation is really about. Trying to police people for being different.
If you have fiscal cooperation, a single currency, a governmental body that forces regulations and laws to its member states and in the end even a unified army (which I think will happen in the future, especially since the US is taking more and more of an isolationist approach to foreign policy) isn't that closer to a federation than it is to a simple trade union? Not all federations need to be a massive nationstate which in Europe would be impossible by definition since you can't create a new nation out of thin air in a few years when you have nations that have existed since the time the concept of a nation was created.

Again you avoid the actual conversation in favor of tangents. No one is advocating for the term “Aspie” or saying you used it. No one is saying that no one in IT has autism. No one is censoring you. And no one is misrepresenting you by making direct quotations from your own post.

You directly accuse someone else of racism for saying that Finnish culture is blunt. But you happily attribute bluntness in IT to autism. I cannot believe you are this lacking in introspection and self-criticism.

Even low level employees at a bank can do amazingly large amount of damage to bank customers and access enormous amount of money. While such actions can be unwound by the banks it is very costly and time consuming. It may also result in sanctions.
Honestly, no user will notice that. You need at least 10 roundtrips for 20ms difference to be noticeable.

Very different obviously if you have APIs that require low latency.

Super frustrating thing about this is that Facebook could be used for good. There is nothing inherently bad about social media.

Full disclosure I was a co-founder in a social media startup that was the trying to have the EXACT opposite effect on Democracy. We were trying to raise the standard of debate on online to a more diplomatic fact based area not the one line blurb that Facebook and Twitter specialize in. Of course we failed but I still believe it is possible.
Agreed. I use date filters when troubleshooting software issues after new patches/updates; so I can find the freshest discussions.

> Is ruby really such a mess that it's impossible to run an app with reasonable memory consumption?

Yes.

Any non-trivial Ruby app will quickly eat up 500MB, and any non-trivial Rails app will soon balloon to 1GB, with things getting worse over time due to memory fragmentation†. Since there is no parallelism your only option is to either have more unicorn workers, for which prefork and COW are hardly working to save you from duplicating memory, especially over time, or have puma threads and use JRuby, which is a memory hog of its own and often slower than MRI.

There have been arguments made that developer time trumps CPU time [0] but there are some workloads and problem domains and uncontrollable events for which this works at the beginning yet later on you find having yourself painted into a corner as suddenly things are not sustainable because you just can't throw more hardware at the issue without going belly up[1]. Once the low hanging fruits have been reaped you're being challenged just to make your app behave within established parameters with diminishing returns, which I'm sure you'd rather spend on solving actual problems for your customers. At that point you might just as well spend the money on rewriting part or all of your app in a more frugal ecosystem and mindset[2].

My dog is 80 pounds and he's a good boy but between the alergies, the fur, the possibility of disrupting other passengers, and the fact that he takes up two seats (a dog would have to be pretty small to comfortably curl up in one seat for multiple hours) I can see why airline companies aren't keen on it.
Well, one event threatened a whole regime (and the country's stability) the other was some hippie students protesting at their university.

And still, "twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds" -- killing 4 and injuring many more.

Which begs the question, if there was major potentially elite affecting / government toppling issue instead of a small scale anti-war protest at a local university, what would be the response?

I really think there is far too much arbitrary reasoning here and I still don't understand how your average Nordea secretary is well-positioned to influence the bitcoin market. All of the reasoning I've read here seems to apply equally well to all Scandinavians if it applies to all of Nordea workers. It seems to me that a better approach would be for financial regulators to make these decisions or at least provide more warning time than a little over a month. Most Swedes I know need to give at least 3 months notice when quitting. I would hope that Nordea's actions mean that employees could at least quit early if they so choose.
Well obviously you've never worked in investment banking.

This is quite common in third world countries. Essentially, foreigners, whether expats or tourists, will pay a different price to locals for everything from street food to rent to government run tours. Local prices are displayed in the local language, foreigner prices in English.
Yeah, all the people that this would affect negatively (as OC described) have the power to prevent it. It likely would work the other way around where the rich automatically get it deducted from their taxes, somehow.
Getting far afield here, but... there's something uniquely broken about the financial model of the US system. Pretty much every industrialized nation in the world pays about half as much per capita as the US does for its health care, and pretty much all of them provide universal coverage. And this is everyone, from purely socialist systems to mostly private systems.

Which is why I have issues with both the right-wing insistence that nothing is wrong with ours that a little more free market can't cure, and the left-wing insistence that only a purely socialist single payer system will provide financial responsibility and social justice.

Maybe its just my location (Las Vegas) but I don't get the hype at all. Plain cheesburger to cheeseburger Shake Shacks burgers just don't appeal to me.
