Any optional features are a good way to have an application behave differently when the option is on, versus off. :)

Programs behave differently under a debugger anyway; "bugs disappearing under a debugger" already happens now.

It's just a question of the risk/reward.

"This debugger feature increases the scope of situations when a bug disappears under the debugger": that's a risk.

"This debugger feature gives me a better overall debugging experience most of the time": benefit
We’re still writing more documentation, but there’s a bit more detail here (and I’ll be posting more soon): https://beta.observablehq.com/@mbostock/introduction-to-code

To summarize, the body of a cell is typically either an expression or a block statement, akin to the body of an arrow function. If a cell starts with name = …, then it has a name and can be referenced by other cells. So, the name = part is specific to Observable, but the expression and block statement is normal JavaScript.

The import declaration is similar to a normal static ES import, but the with clause allows you to inject local definitions into the imported notebook.

In short, you bring them in for other reasons. The most common being Universities, but it can also be Government or Private Sector research labs. One oft overlooked factor in Silicon Valley's success has been the great Universities nearby attracting some of the brightest people from all over the world.

Pittsburgh (CMU), Raleigh-Durham (UNC) and Austin (UT, TAMU) are succeeding in tech for similar reasons.

I would use this. I'm just concerned how they will deal with all the homeless people and thieves stealing the body parts.

On that note, if this can succeed in SF it can succeed anywhere else. I once left my bike in Tenderloin overnight (Of course I had the common sense to use the U-lock) and the next morning I went back and found only the remains.
So you would not want to be able to easily just plug in your phone into the PC and transfer files normally without having to install iTunes etc. (and even that can't do it)?

You would not want to automate certain things? (Like if you are on work wifi, automatically mute phone for example)

You wouldn't want to be able to get OBD II data from your car through your phone?

Wouldn't you want to be able to use Firefox with a firefox engine and not safari webkit?

All these are possible with stock android. Not even talking about hacky customizations.
All of the things you mention can happen more efficiently. There is no evidence that a wider availability of information reduces e.g. white supremacy, and in fact there is evidence[1] that it increases stridency. The increased availability of information is at least as likely to harden bubbles than it is to pop them, and while it's a necessary precursor to opening minds, it's not sufficient to do so on its own.

The debugger could have a mode of "stealth attachment" under which that feature is not activated; the connection with that special interface is not made, and so the program is not informed that it's under a debugger, and those debug streams don't connect to anything.
Hmm, that didn't see to work for me. I think I have a different issue. Thanks, though!
I would prefer if there was a way to do this with taxation or similar. So from a certain size on it would be more expensive to do business. I think this would be more gradual than a hard split.

No doubt you're right, but I don't think JS is well suited for scientific computing. At least Python gives you operator overloading. Julia and R are designed for this field. It's better for JS to remain on the presentation side for anything sophisticated.

The author makes sense initially but towards the end seems to be attacking American institutions like the Supreme court. That was odd.

America was founded on a messy system where not everyone got what they wanted. It was always a compromise.

However, this messy system did bring us out of slavery into the modern era. Now though one of the last abominations of this messy system is causing most of the issues in the republic. I wonder why the author does not touch the subject of "Electoral College".

The "Electoral College" elected both "George Bush" and "Trump" subverting the will of the majority. The first president led us into an illegal war that enriched his corporate buddies. The second one will be judged by history.

In my opinion, until we get rid of the "Electoral College" America will never be a true democracy.

E.g. the U.S. statutory rate was 38.9% (federal + the average of state and local rates), the highest in the G20. The effective rate (after deductions, etc.) was 18.6%, the fourth highest. Socialist France was 11.2%, and our neighbor to the north was 8.6%.

U.S. total tax burden is much lower than France, Germany, etc. If you look at where that difference comes from, it's not because those countries tax "corporations and rich people" more. It's because they impose massively higher taxes on the middle class. Look at tax brackets in Germany, France, Denmark, etc. It's typical for either to top bracket or the second-to-top bracket (just a few percent lower) to kick in around 70 thousand Euros.

My meaning was outside the capitalist system of exchanging services for goods. Many, many people need goods and have no meaningful services to exchange. The idea that we need to cram all of these people in the most dense and expensive centers of capitalist activity is ludicrous and harmful.
> I am certainly all for investing in retraining programs; hell perhaps even having a rural specific health insurance system.

> But increasing tariffs to protect coal miners? Killing solar and renewables for the sake of those communities? That is not a tradeoff I want to make.

What you've said in general makes sense. I'm only responding to point out that the question isn't just rural people and coal miners. Cities, suburbs, and towns are also affected. A few economic centers are doing well while _everywhere else_ is not.

Automation and the changing economy threaten the vast majority of Americans. Technical jobs will increasingly become critical, and tech workers can organize together to gain significant influence. If we don't, it will be up to the "masters of the universe" – Zuckerberg, et al. This industry is transforming politics, society, and culture. My hope is that we technicians take our role seriously.
I looked into this when I was getting into hiking and found out that this is not allowed in Canada, though apparently the Canadian military uses it.

You're absolutely right, but staying informed is part of the responsibility.

PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS and Linux haven't changed so significantly since 2008 that someone who was proficient in 2008 couldn't relatively easily pick it up again today.

There are certainly new expectations and applications which arise every 18 months, but anyone who stays fluent will have little difficulty in mastering all of these - and more.
Well, to be fair malware already exists that can detect when a system debugger is attached so maybe my concern is invalid. I guess the greater concern is the introduction of bugs after all.

My experience has been similar, KP paid out $250K when I was run over biking to work, most of it out-of-network, and were very reasonable during the settlement process - they recovered only half what they'd paid.

People who say "unions are good" almost always have a critique of unions (they should be more democratic, member-led, etc.), but our neoliberal environment is SO strongly anti-union that it's not strategic to give ammunition to billionaire-backed union busters.

When I was 9 my mom got bit by a tick. Her mother had just died and she had just been divorced. She got Lyme disease was in excruciating pain and bed ridden for almost a year. She gained at least 100 pounds. I have very distinct memories of going into her room to just be with my mom and she would just be lying there in excruciating pain. As a kid I didn't really understand it and couldn't understand why she never wanted to do anything. Before she was very engaged and that year she just disappeared.
Last year I was driving with my girl friend on a road trip. We stopped at a scenic view and picked some wild flowers. About an hour later I felt something crawling in my beard, discovered a tick before it bit thankfully but it got lost in the floor. I calmly told my girlfriend we have to stop it's an emergency. We promptly pulled over at the next exit and scoured that car and found the tick. Of course it was a spotted dear tick. We took a 30 minute breather and reflected on mortality. Really really scary! I was fortunate to have sensed it and found it before anything happened. So yeah ticks... It only takes one bite. That tick in very high likelyhood is carrying Lyme disease and that one bite will destroy your life. Worst of all... You probably won't even know it's there before it's too late.

There's also the possibility that they just don't get disrupted. The entire computer industry is less than 100 years old. Who knows if the next 100 years will be anything like the last 70.

Of course, there might be a long history of larger companies getting disrupted by smaller companies outside of the tech industry, which would be much more compelling evidence than MySpace losing to Facebook, IBM losing the PC market to Microsoft, Microsoft losing mobile phones to Apple/Google, etc.

I am not willing to make a bet as to whether or not we will still be talking about Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, or Facebook 25, 50, or 100 years from now.

You may be right. And SF will be a natural experiment to see which model wins out.

This seems a perfect example of concentrated benefits (riders being able to park wherever) vs. diffuse costs (eyesore to most of the population).

An extremely ironic possible outcome is that given the example of uber, cities may legislate away dockless bikes as non-riders lobby their representatives to minimize eyesores.
Okay, good ideas there: so the program has some standard dispatch function that can be called to talk to the debugger. Normally that does nothing. The debugger can recognize this function and stick a breakpoint in it to alter the behavior.

The function can do something like put a request into a mailbox buffer, and then check for a reply in the inbox buffer. When there is no debugger, there is never any reply.

When the debugger stops the show with the breakpoint, it processes the request and prepares a reply, flipping some "reply present" flag; when the program is resumed then, it gets the reply.

It would be good not have any of that damned Python monkey business involved in this.

That seems fraught with peril also. Does Twitter do any check of the data? If not, you've probably just dramatically expanded the market for fake IDs. If so, can governments monitor such verification attempts and associate them with new accounts? If you're living under a hostile regime would you trust Twitter with your ID regardless of assertions of confidentiality?

And there are many people who lack a driver's license and passport. Are they disenfranchised?

Yahoo / Bing, Microsoft and others are just as bad. Don't get me wrong, Google and FB need to change their ways, but they aren't alone.

For example, Yahoo was caught helping the US government spy on consumers, whether they were suspect or not: http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-yahoo-em...

What's more, Yahoo is now owned by Verizon, a company known for anti-consumer practices.

We should all make some easy changes:

- Use DuckDuckGo to get Yahoo /Bing search results in privacy

- Use StartPage.com to get Google search results in privacy

- Use a privacy-friendly email service

- Either quit FB or use it only as a billboard

- Get a Linux distro and avoid Windows OS when possible

- Try LibreOffice. It rivals Office!

Why not use a predictor, the ultimate controller?

Predictors are often too hard in practice, but in this case seems simple as looks like you have the parameters you need to calculate the required energy as Q=ml (+losses) and just put exactly that amount of electrical joules into the heating element.

"Tune" factors like thermal losses by hand, and/or have a simple heuristic learning algo that tunes factors for you based on previous result errors.

I am assuming you have the level in the tank as well to calculate volume, as how else do you protect the boiler element from coming on when no water in the tank?

Sorry to semi-hijack your comment there, but, could you perhaps outline the functional differences (besides the extremely obvious ones like "it's not the same protocol") between Patchwork, Briar (Check the 34C3 talk on Briar if you find yourself unfamiliar with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRJ8vIh3dVU - albeit I kind of doubt that'd end up the case), and secushare (see http://secushare.org/comparison)?

They seem to try to cover many of the same points, but they also seem to have quite a few differences. I primarily ask because secushare hasn't yet updated their comparison page to include Patchwork (although it already covers SSB), and because that same page has yet to account for the release version of Briar.

Edit:
Nevermind the difference to secushare, I've noticed secureshare has an entry on Patchwork in their FAQ, just not on their comparison page:
