> Trump won, so I imagine Assange will go free eventually.

Why would you imagine that effect based on that premise? Obviously, Assange was transactionally useful to Trump, but he doesn't seem to have loyalty to Trump or the Republican Party, and Republicans have been calling for his head longer and more forcefully than Democrats.
This is only true at dysfunctional utilities. We dont even have paper maps and havent since the 90s. GIS is the standard for all our employees.

The story about Kenyans selling PCB oil is truly sad. I cannot imagine the damage that is doing to children and families in that country.

It reminds me of the Vice News story about the illegal oil refineries which are present in the Niger River delta and the environmental and humanitarian destruction they are causing.

Additionally when authorities find illegally refined oil they simply dump it on site, contaminating the villages and markets where it is stored.
Siri is basically the worst voice assistant though.
Something like Ethash would obviously use DDR4 to store the DAG.

But something like Cryptonight (which hits 2MB EXTREMELY hard) would use QDR-IV or RLDRAM 3.

An ASIC / FPGA designer can use whatever part they want, for whatever part of the algorithm they want, for as many "cores" as they want. If DDR4 is the best answer to some problem in cost/effectiveness (ie: Ethash's DAG storage), then DDR4 should be used.

In the case of Ethash: there is a 16 MB inner loop, which would likely be best if it were run out of RLDRAM3. The DAG portion (which can be 4GBish, maybe 8GB to be safe) would be run from DDR4.

EDIT: I initially thought it was 128kb inner loop. Double-checking the specs, its 16MB, which RLDRAM3 seems like a good bet on that size.

Mix-and-match parts as you see fit and imagine the best combination. That's the advantage of FPGAs and ASICs: they literally can choose any part to better match a problem. Spend expensive memory only on the portions where it is necessary.
Money transfer is still very difficult. As in right now, short of paypal, I cannot send you money easily without leaving my chair in under 1 minute regardless of where you are in the world. Send me your bitcoin address and the problem is solved.

The biggest problems with Bitcoin (specifically) are: 1) it is not necessarily a store of value and 2) it fluctuates too much.

If someone can solve these two problems then we will have an extremely powerful cryptocurrency.
A good way to avoid this is to stop using Facebook. I wish everyone would abide by this.
Isn't this still a problem with the new Intel chips? Is the baseband processor actually separate?
For sure - anybody who can modify your mailstore can change emails - that's not really under debate. The same way anybody who has access to your hard drive can change your files.

The issue at hand here is whether the original sender can modify the message after you've received it.
I'm so happy to see this blog. I've been a happy, paying customer of fastmail since . . . I honestly don't know how long it's been. I never think twice about it. Fastmail is the ideal of, "It just works" that Apple strives to be. No offense to Apple or their employees, and it's a limited problem area, but these guys are really, really good at it.

Yeah, I have a gmail account. It's mostly a spam folder at this point. Because if you were able to get a good name when it was in beta in 2004 or so, it's a shitshow, even with google's pretty good filtering.

Fastmail is one of the best examples of why you should pay for online services. When you work with this kind of company, it's clear who the customer is: me. They aren't mining me for data; they aren't trying to trick me into anything. They reliably get my x dollars/year, and I pay them gladly.

A thousand thumbs up for the Fastmail team. It's probably not the most glamorous thing in the world. But cheers to a company that is making a profitable living without hype, without bullshit product marketing, and without closing off access. By just being better at something than anyone else is.

I'm hoping to start a company in the next year or so, and I want to do things the way Fastmail does them. You guys really are a beacon in the tech industry.
> As a final resort, Cohen tried to prevent the imminent demolition by seeking a preliminary injunction against Wolkoff under the Visual Artists Rights Act. The court denied the plaintiffs’ application for preliminary injunction but said an opinion would come within eight days.

Here's the key lines. The landlord attempted an end-run around the courts. They failed and are now subject to heavy penalty for trying to subvert the courts.
This is not what I meant :) my mistake, I will rephrase my question:

Is it theoretically possible for a computer program to synthesize new cryptographic hash functions which are significantly different one from the other (i.e. not just changing constants, or number of iterations)?
why not just set up a server that requests the website every few minutes/seconds or so? That way it would always stay in the cache
Do you think that 50% of boilermakers should be female? Should 50% of welders be female? Mechanics? Oil rig workers? We should probably be pretty upset that only 2% of dental hygienists are men as well, right?

What's being patented isn't the math, it's the implementation of that math.

As a counterpoint that argues why software patents should exist, I'll point out this. If you build a mechanical feedback mechanism that acts as a controller for some chemical process, no one doubts that said controller meets the patentability criteria. So why should we penalize inventors for emulating that controller in software instead of doing it in hardware? (Note: this scenario is effectively the one that established the patentability of software).

The real problem is that the bar for novelty and obviousness in software ought to be much, much higher, and software, having shorter development cadence, needs shorter patent protection times. The most useful change to patent law would be to have patent times adjust to reflect typical development cadences, as opposed to being fixed across all fields.
It’s hard to reason about system
This is just an example of technical change aligning itself with real world human want.

People will ALWAYS put convenience first. Even those that say they won’t, it’s typically an isolated action (like, email is harder when not using google apps, but it’s worth not being spied on. Walk in their house, Echos and smart devices everywhere).

The hope for Blockchain is we can now, finally, begin building true decentralized things without sacrificing this innate human want for convenience. It’s technology advancing towards multiple mutual goals (a technical one and a human one).
We have also started using ductile iron poles. They are much easier to drill and last longer than the galvanized.
Not unique to Google: I think many legal departments have realized that the FTC is currently basically disabled, as far as the United States goes. It's likely most companies feel like if they do something right now, it'll probably be accepted/standard practice before the FTC remembers it has a job to do.

None of that has anything to do with the original blanket assertion of "good junior devs can code not only "just as fast", but probably faster too!".
> Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar suggest that crypto assets have low/negative correlation with traditional asset classes

The DJIA and Bitcoin charts seem well correlated, at least over the past month:
DJIA: https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/djia

In my opinion people treat it as they would any speculative asset.
Google Talk never gained mass adoption. Google was punished by their competitors by adopting open standards, like XMPP and OpenID, when some competitors implemented "one way" interoperabilility to siphon off users.

I favor federated open standards, but let's not rewrite history. Google Talk was never mass adopted or a market leader, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, AOL Messenger always had way more market share.

I mean, good lord, you're calling for regulations to penalize Google over failed messaging products, why don't you call on regulations to force Apple and Facebook who own the world's most popular messaging platforms, to open up their protocols to federation?
I get marketing emails all the time where the HTML part carries the message and the text/plain part... is last month's message. Or last year's. Or lorem ipsum.

I used to tell companies about this problem, but it turns out that of the thirty or so I contacted, only one was interested in fixing it. Now I just mark them as clueless.
My cost is less by doing more in the same amount of time.

Actually, I agree with you there.
Interesting. I worked very briefly in an agency a long time ago. Our projects were on the 2-3 month time frame. I suppose it depends on what you are doing.
Silicon Valley has been out of ideas since the late 1990s. Look at Google trying to "fix" email, a system that simply is not broken.
Notice that all those cities are small. (Tallinn looks like the biggest one that makes all public transit free.)

Prices are useful in that they provide a price signal that regulates demand. If you make the price zero, people will start using it for trips that they wouldn't really need to use public transport for, because why put in the effort to walk or bike when the transit is free? The spike in ridership will force an increase in frequency, making transit even more convenient for walkers and bikers, creating a cycle of having to cater to bottomless free demand.

As far as attracting drivers goes, transit is in many cases already much cheaper than driving. Price is not the main issue keeping drivers on the roads.

Guangzhou tried free transit to reduce pollution and had to stop because it caused severe overcrowding issues. http://humantransit.org/2010/11/guangzhou-abandons-free-fare...

Your bottom picture also shows half of a snowshoe fiber slack storage location. They are used at almost every splice so the splice can be moved to the ground easily and placed into a splicing trailer. That fiber pictured is a strand and lash construction where a high strength steel wire is placed and then the fiber is basically tied to it. We have stopped using any of it in favor of ADSS fiber which means all dielectric self supporting. We can place it in the power space and avoid dealing with the communications space problems.

Nothing new under the sun: PTSD in the ancient world. (2014)
Except without the flouting of regulations and labor laws
There is such a thing as overstating one's case though, especially when it comes to advocacy.

To a rational mind, 200 years of practical evidence and the elimination of several deadly pathogens should outweigh a handful of legitimate but isolated counterexamples, but they argue against it anyway to the extent that they would risk their children contracting measles, tetanus, diptheria, mumps or rubella over an anecdotal correlation of autism...which even if causal, is difficult, time-consuming and expensive to treat, but not deadly. Yes, sometimes vaccine supplies get contaminated or have adverse effects, but so do batches of milk, spinach, peanut butter, and Chipotle burritos. It hardly justifies a concerted argument against any of these things.

It is craziness, and no amount of logic, evidence, patience or negotiation ever convinces these people otherwise. We may as well dismiss them and move on.
I don't think that the problem is that there aren't suitable alternatives. More like, how would I force everyone who uses Facebook now to use something else?
Charitable gift annuities don't have the result you describe. For starters, they're only partially deductible, and you have to pay taxes on income earned by the annuity. In effect, a lottery winner would pay taxes twice: first on winning the income, and then when receiving money from the annuity (because a partial charitable deduction wouldn't offset the annuity income and for a gift in the millions would be capped anyway).
Average at what? Tests? Scores? GPA? Coding? How do we know the difference? You can be successful without being #1 at school. In fact, there are more successful people in life than top students. Plus, most of the top students aren’t that successful in life. That applies to schools, companies, sports, etc.
Don't boarding passes already work that way? If the airlines can do it I see no reason why railways couldn't.
Yeah, ~30 year projects were the longest i've ever worked on. Sometimes it's easier to read the docs about what the old programmers were trying to do - those telephone sized documents explaining requirements. if you're lucky, they might have started using source control in the 90's and you can kinda match up specs to commits.

Quibbles aside, that's essentially analogous to "protecting the public good" (aka us).
The problem is shitty defaults.

I recently added a new phone number to Facebook, and I had to specifically disable getting SMS notifications from FB, it's on by default.

I don't even know why they still offer them. I understand the utility of SMS notifications for FB 10 years ago, when smart phones weren't the norm but most people have the Facebook app installed on their phone, I don't need 2 notifications.

I think a good argument can be made that a law restricting the sale of non-registered securities to wealthy ("accredited") investors and excluding poor people violates the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment. (And, although the 14th Amendment applies only to the states, the Supreme Court has held in Bolling v. Sharpe (1954) that the same principle operates against the federal government via the Due Process clause of the 5th Amendment.)
It's worth mentioning that you can be sued if the company can prove damages. In the UK, the burden on the plaintiff is even lower.

Better to make it appear to be your opinion, as opposed to a (false) statement of fact.
That was painful to read and the comments are even worse. I'm not sure I trust anything stated in this write-up.
May I ask what your niche is?
This is all over the place.

NBC and HBO are both networks. And so is Netflix. And Showtime, and AMC.

The main difference is that Netflix broadcasts all over the world using the Internet, while NBC and HBO have limited reach outside of the US using cable and/or OTA signals (and over the Internet too!).

House of Cards, Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory, Gray's Anatomy. These are all just original shows of their respective networks.

In Hollywood an Original Show just means that it was shown exclusively in one place first.

I can say with certainty that Google does not treat paying G Suite customer data the same as consumers'. It is not mined, it is not targeted, and it is not used in any way for advertising purposes.

I can say this as a former G Suite buyer who signed the contract & ToS, a current googler working with G Suite and Cloud resellers, and as someone who has been a part of Google's internal GDPR readiness programs.

I cannot address the rest of your questions authoritatively, but I don't particularly care about those, either, comparatively.
I think it would be better.

People are willing to pay for good services, and hobbyists are willing to build systems and give them away for free. The Internet was around for a long time before advertising. It was also better in many ways. People built things because they wanted them to work well, not because they were tied to a profit center.

The more advertising has gotten into the web, the lower the signal-to-noise ratio has gotten.
Are you intentionally ignoring the critically acclaimed pipeline of shows/movies Netflix has produced, or are you just ignorant to their actual success.

They aren't _just_ a platform for content producers. They are producers of content. Competitors need to outprice them, our perform them, and outproduce them.
They do a similar thing with Apple Pay too. In order to get rid of the Badge on settings, you have to run through the wizard and cancel out at the end.

> People always say the big 3 are going to catch up with Tesla...

Who are "people?" I don't own a Tesla, but from what I've read, they are not great at manufacturing, and that's something that takes awhile to fix. My guess is that companies with decades of experience in building physical things, but little in software, have a decent chance.
It's not totally ready for production because the GUI library that I'm using is not totally polished. My part I would say is Beta, and the GUI library is versioned as alpha. For most tasks it will work fine. For more complex stuff you will obviously want something more robust.

With Windows, the .dll is compiled on npm install, and that works perfectly. Currently I don't think libui supports icons.

I chose libui because it is the only GUI library for JS that I could find. It is nice and fits well with React, but it does have some holes. The author is going to continue development soon, so some of the problems should be fixed in the future.
