At my work we have a comprehensive Zoom integration. We hit the “Share Screen” button and it goes to the room’s projector, as well as all the remote participants. Dongles are available, but discouraged, as the screen is then only available within the room.

At my desk it’s no problem to leave dongles attached to the monitors.

As usual, Apple has removed a standard before the industry is quite done with it, but as usual, there is a better way to get the job done.
You’re right about editorial control.

I am proud that as an ISP in the 90s, and then as a VDN (CDN for video) in 2000s, we successfully kept all our clients online despite countless acts of bullying including CDA and DMCA.

We even had a major satellite carrier go after our various DC real estate providers and backbone connections.

You’d be amazed how long you can keep a client online just by requiring DMCA notices to adhere to the letter of the law before complying — usually weeks!

More than enough time to give clients notice and for clients to make arrangements.

Valve is great when things are interesting to work on, but I wouldn't consider them a company that are role models. The downside to Valve is since everyone is their own boss, maintenance becomes something no one does. They need to solve that problem before I'd consider them a good company role model.
>>But how long ago did these slimebags abuse the system, and are we sure it's still a problem in the modern era?

Of course it is. The system rewards greed, which is a strong incentive to bend the rules or even break them if one thinks they can get away with it. That is why tight controls are necessary, even if they are costly.
They should though. Much like IT companies pay bug bounties and penetration testers.
Eh I don't think it's a ponzi scheme, I'm just defending that it does have an important property in common: new participants pay for old ones.

A little more about what you're seeing:

Images of Europa from the Galileo spacecraft reveal a complicated terrain of grooved linear ridges and crustal plates which seem to have broken apart and rafted into new positions. That could indicate subsurface water or slush. In the image above, blue tints represent relatively old ice surfaces while reddish regions may contain material from more recent internal geological activity.

The quote above is specifically referring to an image on the page from which I took the quote:

https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/1998/a...

But I believe the stills which comprise the video fit the same overall description.

The mission page is https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/galileo/in-depth/

And I think the images can be found at https://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/volumes/galileo.html

> if the car is stopped indefinitely that is going to cause all sorts of problems.

Your comment is true, but consider the context. There was a vehicle already blocking the lane that caused the autonomous car to stop. The autonomous car did not block an unobstructed lane, the lane was already blocked.
Ergo, your existence is immoral.

I would think you also don't want thousands of random photos in your archives: you'd ideally have filtered through it already, and whatever remains is likely worth looking back on

An archive of 10,000 images, i think, should be an impressive work; a grand feat of labour, through years of collection and curation. Even if you don't care about the content, you'd have to care about the effort spent. For personal use, or for sharing.

>Hardly anybody actually spends their time curating their possessions for future generations, yet nobody is super sad about this missing inheritance

I think ideally, you wouldn't have to curate for the future generations, just the future you, to create a valuable collection. But people often don't even curate for themselves, maintaining a mostly worthless collection. (With maybe a few hidden gems)

And I think curated collections, even those that never leave the basement, are assigned an inherent value. The attic used as a dump can burn and no one will care.

And in the same fashion, constantly recorded lifespans will also have little value (except maybe to historians), if it stays as a data dump. The value of that feature is lost if left alone, as is the collection of objects dumped in the attic. But the act of collecting gives you the chance to derive value that you otherwise couldn't (say because you didn't expect that particular moment to be noteworthy before it occurred for example), by curating it. A found, used but unprocessed film roll has no value; a gallery of selected photos can be extremely valuable.
I really wish we placed more emphasis on significant and wide reaching criminal charges for Executives and other employees who are involved in the bad behavior.

It makes more sense to punish those who cheat than to create onerous regulations to prevent cheating. (Of course no reason you can't have appropriate levels of regulation alongside severe penalties for the white collar crimes the regulations are supposed to prevent.)
Unless those actions pool resources and forces, Equifax stands a good chance of defeating most of them in detail. String most along, cherry-pick the most likely to prevail against (with a combination of lobbying, legislation, politicking, marketing, and legal maneuvers), win or stalemate those, then work their way down the list with those precedents in their negotiating back pocket.
That's horrible. I have an enduring fear due to the lack of manual window winders. Harder to open a door in water than wind down a window.

Hardware administration has shifted left. Most places work in VMs these days, and many have little or no hardware of their own at all. More and more hardware is being owned and operated by fewer and fewer big shops, many of whom provide services to those who need VMs.

Classic systems administration is also shifting left. Either you go with the shift, or you find a way to make yourself useful to those who are left. What is called DevOps today would be a case of the latter, although there are those of us who have been doing that same kind of stuff for twenty, thirty, or even more years - we were doing DevOps before DevOps was a name that had been coined.

As more and more stuff moves into the cloud, many of us will become Platform Engineers. We don’t do DevOps much any more, except for the big platforms that really need that. The rest will be providing the tools and guard rails that the developers need to allow them to do quick self-service with “serverless” frameworks, built on top of the tools provided by the big cloud providers.

Yeah I mean Trump is obviously more extreme in bragging about everything good being because of him. But the other side also kept predicting that if Trump won the election stock market would crash immediately and recession would ensue, instead we got one of the craziest bull markets for over a year and a very robust economy (I mean let's see what happens next, this could be start of a bear market, but stocks are still up a LOT since his election).
> impatient overrides

It's not impatient. It's the car having no idea what to do next, so it just sits there waiting for something to happen.

I count that as a failure in the path to autonomous driving. Remember: Those 1% scenarios are the hardest part, yet they are critical. You can't just say "99%" it's good - after all humans drive perfectly 99.999% of the time (measured by time on the road vs assuming 5 minutes per accident - which is probably high, since the error leading to the accident probably took less time than that), yet that's not good enough.

> I'll add that Wikipedia's take here is a little optimistic: perhaps it was true when MUMPS was invented that it could use one line to accomplish what would require "5 to 10 times as many characters" in other languages, but MUMPS's language constructs are by and large about as low level as assembly with a couple exceptions, so this is definitely no longer the case if we're comparing it to modern high level languages.

Eh, as someone who's used it professionally, I wouldn't compare it to assembly. It's more like Awk - fairly concise for a good deal of its intended uses (linewise text manipulation for Awk, trees for MUMPS) and horribly clunky for most everything else.
I think most big players (like Google) are conscious that 1) there is a lot of money to make 2) a few deaths in a row will scare the public and the regulators

So they are not cutting corners. I'll be more concerned about the companies playing catch up, or the cheap clone that will try to cut on the costly sensor like Lidar and on the long and rigorous process required to develop it correctly. .
I have been workign with MuMPS(Cache Objectscript) for the last 3 years. I'm working on writing the backend of a web application with it currently. In my experience the first 3 or so months are a little painful because the syntax is a little bizarre and the documentation is a little bit cumbersome. At the end of the day code is just code and its not all that bad.
This Feminist Sex Toy Shop Is Funding Access to Women's Reproductive Health
We’ve all heard the old cliché—it’s a man’s world—and the current climate in this country and around the globe only emphasizes that brute reality. Access to reproductive healthcare services is under near constant attack and rape culture relegates women to the role of inanimate receptacle into which men can freely empty their sexual desires. Even when considering something as simple as an ad for women’s underwear, the clear audience is men. Women don’t need to see each other scantily clad and contorted into unnecessarily suggestive positions to appreciate lingerie. We’re here for men’s gratification, society assures us, and even our own sexuality is ultimately theirs to define and enjoy.

But the ladies of Knotty Vibes are here to change all of that with a bold mission of empowering women through the sale of sex toys.

Just like most advertising for panties and bras aren’t really targeted towards the group of people who actually buy and wear them, the same can be said for the advertising sex toys ostensibly created for women. It gets turned into yet another over the top fantasy for men, with women merely present to play the tired old role of repository for all of that pent up male desire. All of this just reinforces society’s message that women are there for male entertainment, even when the product advertised should be one for female enjoyment alone. This is where Knotty Vibes comes in.

Sheila and Courtney, cofounders of this innovative company, were both raised in devoutly religious environments that didn’t encourage discussions involving traditionally taboo and blush worthy subjects like sex. These enterprising ladies envisioned a company that would tailor its message to empower them by putting the control of their own sexual pleasure at their fingertips. Additionally, through Knotty Vibes partnership with the Pledgling, proceeds will be donated to women’s reproductive healthcare organizations.

While I also agree Uber is no darling, the proper comparison would be between driver-on-passenger assaults for ridesharing services versus traditional taxi. How do they stack up?

It's not immediately obvious which one would be safer. In theory ridesharing yields a more extensive data/evidence trail (driver identity, passenger identity, GPS history, etc), making assault much harder to get away with; this would seem to be a better deterrent than relatively anonymous cab rides.

I did a bit of googling and can't find any hard numbers that compare the two types of transport from a driver-on-passenger assault POV. I would welcome cited figures anyone else might have.
Indeed, but you will find that the fuel is by the same amount heavier than the stable molecules you used to make it.
I can't help but think of how much more productive a factory worker or repairman would be with these glasses, if it were possible to display instructions, dimensions, parts of a reference manual, etc...

the only real issue with promises not following monadic laws is that once you try to compose various monads, you have to rethink all of the properties because you can't just fall back to any document about monads ever and hope that things will work like that.

It's kind of like implementing all of the gang of 4 design patterns but with some small differences. Kinds of make the whole language pointless.

In term of just getting stuff kind of working, yeah, they work fine. I worked on a library that had to do monad-like composition in extremely limited space, but promises were available to me, so I just built everything on top of those to fake it with as few bytes as possible. Pain in the ass to reason around and debug, but it worked.

What's Happening to Bitcoin? Cold Coin December
In the last few weeks alone, you may have noticed a noteworthy descent in both Bitcoin and Altcoins. Analogously, we went from 35,000 feet on a Boeing 747 to about 15,000 feet in the equivalent of about 3 minutes. A bit of a disturbing ride, with plenty of turbulence. Bitcoin’s all time high as of this press is $19,205.11, and currently trading at $7,292.15. This accounts for a total drop of 62% from its high on December 17, 2017, just about seven weeks ago. I prefer to call it “Cold Coin December,” because the reality was disorganized awareness, holiday spirits, and the cold hard truth for late adopters and speculators that while things seemed very hot, it was actually as chilling as December winter air. Deceiving, really. December was not likely the best time to buy coin.

The majority of this loss came in January 2018 as Bitcoin had a high of $17,026.28 in the first week of January, a 50.5% of the loss in the last month alone. Rather than go over the hundreds of Altcoins available on various exchanges, it’s fair to say that if you have invested in Bitcoin, or just about any coin in the last month, you have not likely made any money, but rather lost quite a bit of value depending on your trade date and time. There are the minor exceptions whereby the damage hasn’t been quite as severe, such as Ripple and Ethereum. But those are just the first class seats on the plane, so maybe it was just more comfortable price falling with a few glasses of wine in you. Ethereum does use blockchain, in a different way than Bitcoin, and is faring better, but still at a loss of 49% from it’s high, and falling sharply as of this publication.

I'm not sure if you're being obtuse, but there are no equivalents to a setting a limit buy on SPY with Uber. You keep on saying "ask Uber", but there is no mechanism to actually set a price, which makes the rest of your hypothetical irrelevant.

Furthermore, your examples are pretty dumb -- what if you want to work for less to have more rides to make it up in volume? You couldn't do that either. The fact that you cannot set prices means you're not self employed. The fact that you can set your own hours and use an app is irrelevant.

The fact of the matter is that you cannot dictate your own price using Uber or Lyft. Uber drivers are employees, and Britain agrees [1].

I must disagree. India is a big market too. Then why didn't the multinationals come to share technology and set up manufacturing in India?

I think it's got more to do with having decade long focus under a single leadership than have politicians floundering to get reelected every 5 years.
Is that always true?

If you're doing heavy R&D and you keep things on isolated networks, might not your R&D be at least similarly secure on-premises, if you follow secure practices?

How much visibility do you have into your cloud provider's security? For email, sure go with a known cloud provider. Some SaaS services on the back-end can be less than ideally secure.

Just think of it this way: all natural light (i.e. the typical incoherent light you see reflected or emitted off of surfaces in your environment) emit wavefronts that eminate spherically from each reflection (or emission) point. As such, the spherical wavefronts from light eminating from objects close towards your eye (i.e. less than ~8m away, a.k.a optical infinity), will have a curvature that the optics of your eye (i.e. your cornea and lens) work or morph in order to focus into a point on your retina. The closer the object is to your eye, the greater the curvature (i.e. the higher the angle of divergence). However, objects further from your eye (i.e. greater than ~8m, or optical infinity), from your eye's perspective, will have a wavefront that is still curved, but that is essentially flat, such that your eye's optics do not have to morph to focus thes objects. All objects past optical infinity appear "in focus" unless your eye attempts to focus (i.e. the lens morphs or "accomodates") on an object in the foreground. A laser beam essentially emulates a flat wavefront because the photons comprising the beam have a very small angle of divergence. Thus, light eminating from a laser will appear in focus just like an object placed at optical infinity.
Actually, this is part of the principle underpinning the accomodation-vergence conflict.
I don't have any issues with async loading. I'm just saying that I believe what you are referring to when you say the React team is working on an official async pattern is not actually async loading, but async rendering.

At least every time one of their members said the word async in the last couple of weeks/months, it's what they referred to, and it's a completely different (and unrelated) thing. I can't read your mind though, so I'm just guessing.
