Speaking of cable TV -- back in the 80s and 90s, Nickelodeon was groundbreaking. Today it's basically Disney Channel 2. Anything that rebelsagainst cable TV will end up looking like cable TV,just like the cable networks rebelled against the status quo before becoming the status quo. Maybe what we have is a sort of local maximum, a formula that best "works" for our local culture.

General AI that can totally replace humans in a job isn't really the problem. The real issue is specialized AI that lets one person do work that previously required five or ten, whether because it increases their productivity directly, or the human is working as an AI-minder, letting them do the routine stuff, supervising them for quality, and taking over when they hit unexpected circumstances.

I've never believed this stuff. Laws are often only enforced in one section of the country.

This particular dude plead guilty... and his sentence? "The sentence was 43 days in prison and a $250,000 fine". Most states won't even transfer you to prison for a month and a half, they'll just keep you in jail. And not only that, but he was able to get out early because he gave money to charity.

I've known folks get put in jail for not being able to afford child support. Many folks spend that long in jail just awaiting trial.

When and how does this stuff catch up with them in the end?

>What you're asking for is like saying that a web server would provide a unique HTTPS cert to every distinct visitor.

It's not similar at all. The equivalent would not be the certificate but the session key, and you do get your own session key in order to prevent what the person above is describing. My HN session key is useless for decrypting your HN password even if I could intercept the traffic.

There is no technical reason why the devices can't ship with not only the manufacturer's public key, but also a key pair generated for each unit that comes off the assembly line for the customers to use to sign their own firmware images (and if they wish, delete the manufacturer's public key). But they will never be able to sign images for any device but their own because they simply don't have any signing keys that can produce a signature that will be accepted by any device but their own.
This seems like a straight up hit piece that is twisting facts for their benefit. I couldn't find much information on the 'Taxpayers Protection Alliance' but they are listed as a beneficiary of the Koch brothers. https://projects.propublica.org/graphics/koch

LowEndTalk.com will help you find a super cheap VPS.

However I would advise using dedicated hardware for the server instead for improved privacy. There are two possible routes:

1) Rent a cheap dedicated server such as the Kimsufi line by OVH or the Personal line by Online.net. These cost below 10€ a month.

2) Run the email service on your box at home and use the cheapest VPS you can find just to tunnel a non-dialup IP address to that box using OpenVPN. The cheap VPS usually costs less than $10 per year.

This is the height of arrogance.

Either major party can be characterized as the reigning party of broken promises and slime. Both of them will represent their own policies as of six years prior as reprehensible when the opposing party runs on those same policies; and both will use whatever power the electorate gives them to enrich themselves (or at least their own cause), if that is an option.

You want a decompiler that produces the original language, not just marked up assembly. For pure VM or interpreted languages, you're right this doesn't seem impossible but has unacceptable tradeoffs for most people. For starters, most companies like that compilation is a one-way action.

Whitespace is easy, btw. Just enforce code style in the language like gofmt. You don't need to preserve what you can derive programmatically. As a bonus, gofmt is awesome.
Technology's long tail: The next 5000 days of the web (2007)
Friend, you may have already answered your question here.

There are an abundant amount of reasons as to why someone would lose interest, disengage, or suffer motivation evaporation. If you lack the motivation to learn and improve in your job, it is only a matter of time that you can last in it, as you are experiencing now.

You have done that soul-searching and found, to your dismay that you may want something else. Since your skillsets may be transferable to other industries, why not go ahead and do it.

Your situation is very similar to what I have gone through, so in a way, this message is also one I'm writing for myself:

Your fear, the question that is stopping you is the sudden shift in lifestyle because perhaps you may get paid less than what you are making now. You can prepare for this, as everyone already stated, by saving as much as you can before your next endeavor. Though you also need to strip away your ego because I know you will see this as a move down, starting from the bottom again. The question you keep asking yourself is, can I continue to do this every day, trade away my time for money doing what I no longer enjoy? Your soul is answering this by saying, I'm not interested in this anymore, why are you still here? So I mean, you just need to figure out who you're listening to, your ego or your true self.

(In my case, I did receive a temporary cut in pay, but I enjoyed what I did day-to-day. And having a massive cloud over you versus feeling light-hearted every day is night and day. Also now I am paid even more than what I had been making before, and my expertise in the other industry provided me with insights in my current industry).
Go has a lot of complexity and slowdown around FFI due to all the internal context switching, locking, and stack management. Even if there are benefits for this use case, for such a drawback is not acceptable for a systems language intended for embedding and low level libraries.
It's probably as banal as trying to limit future lawsuits by restricting publicity on successful past ones.
The laws don't have any objective interpretation. What exactly is "harm" from a mathematical point of view? This is good for storytelling, because it let Asimov write stories about robots behaving in strange ways, and the protagonists struggling to figure out how it made sense as a possible interpretation of the laws, but it's no good for actually building robots.
I mean, with his "legs" being the way they are, he basically is some sort of four legged spider thing.
This was a strange article. These days, it's hard to tell what is (a) genuine journalism from a concerned source (b) some kind of intentional negative press funded by an adversary, and (c) clickbaity journalism that tries to collect enough smoke to convince you there's a fire so you'll click and share.

In particular, the part about disengagements due to reckless driving on the part of other vehicles was strange: the author assumes that this was due to there being less reckless driving by other vehicles, rather than an improvement in the ability of Waymo's vehicles to deal with it. (I have no idea either, but it seems like an important question.)

This part near the end was funny:

“Buying large tracts of land in hilly areas, building test roads, and hiring “extras” to serve as pedestrians would go a long way toward transparently proving efficacy.”

It's almost like the author of this article read The Atlantic article on Waymo's test village. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/08/insid...

I think it's too complicated to blame anyone really. I mean, we working on standardising as much as possible, but it's often impossible because business practices are just so different. Often big standard products fall extremely short, or end up in complete failures because you can't jam people into boxes on an enterprise scale especially not when the people who build the systems have next to no domain knowledge and the people who write contracts have no technical knowledge. :)

I guess our government should work on writing laws that are more friendly to digitisation and stop expecting IT to fix business practices that don't really make sense in the first place. There has been a genuine movement toward that, but it's slow because none of our top politicians or bureaucrats are from technical fields, and they operate on such a high strategic level that they're often rather far from the daily challenges in a daycare institution.

Local political leadership and bureaucracy could certainly do more to focus on corporation, standardisation and digital transformation, and they actually do, but political views differ and they change every 4 years, and the truth is that there just isn't any voter interest in IT unless it goes wrong.

We're trying to build national standards, we've had a set of architectural standards called Rammearkitekturen for a few yers now, but getting them implemented is slow. For one they're made by muniplicities and our structure of government is split in three. Muniplicities, Counties and the State and each branch has it's own ideas, leading to bureaucracy and political differences. Some want us to use EU standards, others want us to build our own, and even if we decided, there are different sets of EU standards as well as different sets of Danish standards.

I personally think the best we can do is try to use whatever national standards are in favour, and build smaller applications on them, with open API's, and run everything as SaaS in infrastructures such as AWS or Azure. I also think we should do a lot more work on business development, modifying business practices before we throw IT at something.

But it's complicated and it's on a giant scale where even minor changes take years to implement
Are they absolutely sure it was Russia or are they going to quietly retract that like last time?
The last time i rented a new server I checked the IP in the various blacklists. There was one blacklist that had listed the entire subnet the server was in. I asked them to whitelist my IP address in that subnet which they did. It took only a few minutes to write an email.
>In order to be considered a "gain" or a "loss", according to my accountant, the commodity must be realized into fiat money. "Selling or buying" means selling into fiat or buying with fiat. "Bartering" means trading for goods or services -- crypto is not considered to be goods or services.

Thanks for the extended update!

That's very interesting! I have been hesitant to take advantage of some potential gains because of the burden of maintaining a record of every inter-coin transaction.

If your accountant is correct, then that's a load off—and a major advantage.

It really is a brand new asset class, then.
Using their CPE routers implies (but does not guarantee) that you are using them for NAT and firewalling, and thus the ISP has a device inside your security perimeter.
I think it's because the implicit value is:

People always seem to focus on the things science fiction writers include in the stories of the future.

Someone, I think it may have been Asimov, but it might have been Heinlein or one of the other big names of that era, said that these are the least important things that science fiction writers predict.

What is important, he said, was not the gadgets of the future, but how they change us. Predicting ubiquitous robots or personal jetpacks would be like a writer in 1880 predicting cars replacing horses.

Sure, cars replacing horses is interesting...but what is important is predicting what the increased speed and range of cars over horses would do to everyday life. What do cars do to teen and young adult dating habits, for instance? With a car it is much easier to arrange a quick hook up with someone away from the prying eyes of your parents. That could have big ramifications.

The future is more than just the present with nicer gadgets.

Is React Native worth learning?
Agreed. This problem is closer to "online graffiti" (every text box is the canvas) than sexism, racism, etc. The assumption that a bot may be on the receiving end further encourages the behavior. These kids know better, though I do think a healthy "fear of consequences" or reality check can help.

I'd expect the rate of abuse to decline fairly significantly with the simple addition of the text "This conversation is being monitored by a supervisor", appearing a few moments after the first message is sent.
In this entire situation, it was ALWAYS Julia answering the messages; the ONLY thing that changed was name and photo.

The name was also chosen to resemble an established political blog. It had the desired effect on me in the form of making me think this was legit journalism, until I realized it wasn't the site I'm familiar with.
You can get plenty of modern stuff to go into a MicroTCA chassis. For what is essentially an industrial computer hooked up to motors and sensors, that kind of base hardware is perfect for the role.

Yes, people who take Asimov's laws seriously seem to forget that they didn't even work in-universe, which was kind of the point.

In the case of "Fluent Python", the author fairly explicitly calls out it is not for rote learning of the basic language:

> ..."if you read it too early in your Python journey, it may give you the impression that every Python script should leverage special methods and metaprogramming tricks."
Note that while the headline says the bots are "pro-gun", the article says the bots flood Twitter with messages on both sides of an issue like this. The idea supposedly being to encourage political discord in general.
Entirely this. It may be that the data that is collected is not quite as useful as the government thought at the time the bill was written.

> The appearance won't match with GtkHeaderBar apps then.

If your app have special needs and has to use CSD, it's up to you to provide (or not) matching appearance for your users, by toolkit or any other means to achieve that. With CSD-only, you're guaranteed to get non-matching appearance. It's way easier to provide all-matching appearance with SSD, since it's only minority of toolkits that decided to go full CSD, so you just have to match your Gtk+ style.

> ...

Let me remind you - the idea that compositor theoretically does not need a toolkit was yours, as an argument for CSD-only compositor. I have showed you that while theoretically it might have some merit, especially on mobile, in practice it doesn't work that way with desktop environments on Wayland - so it can't really be taken as a case in this point.

> The idea is to have only one toolkit: Gtk+.

Wow. Just, no. The only Gtk+3 app I usually run on my desktop is Firefox, and it's not even exactly a Gtk+ app. Let's keep such crazy ideas as science fiction, please.

That might explain some attitudes on this topic (and some others - interoperability was always a somewhat poor side of the GNOME camp) though. Not a happy thought to be honest.

When I first saw the well done editor interface and easy in-place editing I thought I lacks extensibility and configuration capabilities. But actually this is much more flexible and powerful than a self-run wordpress site. And you don't even need a server for the deployment.

Hed, dek, lede, graf, etc. were all used in drafts when I was on the morning daily newspaper in J School specifically because they'd get caught in spell check.

I built my own, several years ago, on a (fanless!) board like this:

I run a full Ubuntu on it, with local DNS, DHCP, Shorewall, etc.
Except that over half of those 0.05% of murder victims lived in close proximity to one another Uber similar socioeconomic conditions. It is very much correlated with geography, which is why people pay absurd prices to live in areas with reduced crime.
Remote working spaces have amazing untapped potential IMO. Right now they're mostly concentrated in downtowns of major metro areas which might be nice for the heavily concentrated populations living there, but sucks for anyone in residential neighborhoods outside of the downtown core. Take Chicago for example: there are six WeWork locations within 200 miles of the city, and the furthest distance from one to the other is less than 2 miles. If you live in Schaumburg or Skokie or Aurora or Joliet, to get to your closest "office" you have to commute downtown just like everyone else, every morning and back home every evening. And in my metro area of 1.5m, there are no WeWork locations at all, the closest is over three hours away. There are some other co-working locations in my city's downtown, but I don't want to commute downtown every day.

I think there's potential for co-working spaces in residential or suburban areas, but it's a smaller market so it'd be pricey... unless you already own space in the suburbs. Like Barnes and Noble does. And they already have Starbucks available at most of them, and many of them are in areas with plenty of food choices around for lunch. Many of them are near plazas with nice places to walk and get some fresh air.

We're just getting started with co-working spaces, there's a lot of untapped potential in smaller markets yet.
There will come a time when we will disconnect the international and intercontinental internet connections until we've figured out how to keep democracy functioning in a connected world.

I can see how certain aspects of US politics are interesting to russian botnets (assuming they too are politically controlled to some extent, which I think is safe to say). Foreign policy is very much dependent on who is president, and US foregin policy is amatter of billions of dollars for Russia.

But gun laws? What's the reasoning behind that? It doesn't add up. On the contrary, it would rather seem like some group in the US (Say a large gun rights organization of some form) would buy these services from the russians. The Russian twitter troll factories don't work for free, and in this case there doesn't seem to be a reason why Russia would pay for this?

Edit: another poster pointed out: there is one thing russia would gain from and that's political division and instability. Next up: pay someone to have a very public and very late abortion, for example.
