The Art of the (Conference Talk) Proposal
Clarification needed. When you say their commitment has been limited, do you mean they have done things that go contrary to protecting data (like selling user data to ad companies, or handing user data to government agencies when requested) or that they haven't actively taken a stance for protecting customer data (such as duckduckgo's promise not to track you, or Wikipedia's promise to stay donation-based).

Yes, it is a lot better if an intelligent person willingly helps start that war.
Intelligent people tend to be rational; they can be reasoned with.
This means you might be able to convince them to change their mind.
You can talk with them and figure out what is going on. You can explain to them why you disagree with their actions.

The real distinction that matters is how stubborn someone is, or how convinced they are that they are right.
One might be stubborn out of hate, one might be stubborn out of pride (I loudly claimed X, so I must to all I can to show X is right, no matter what happens), or one might be stubborn out of 'true belief'.
Such stubbornness is scary.

Notably, it is scary no matter whether you agree with them or not.
Such stubbornness might help accelerate change if they are exactly right, but there is no room for error.

Also I'm not a lawyer but for me it violates Article 25 of European General Data Protection Regulation: "Data protection by Design and by Default (Article 25) requires that data protection is designed into the development of business processes for products and services. This requires that privacy settings must be set at a high level by default and that technical and procedural measures should be taken care by the controller in order to make sure that the processing, throughout the whole processing lifecycle, complies with the regulation. Controllers should also implement mechanisms to ensure that personal data are only processed when necessary for each specific purpose." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regula...

> Dart does not let you have two versions of the same package in your application, even different major versions. This restriction does cause real pain

Dart is primarily targetting web deployment, in which code/executable size is a major concern. For Dart's use-case it makes perfect sense to force the developer to sort this out ahead of time, painful as it might be. For lots of other languages (including go), the primary expected deployment is to a binary executable where bloating it with multiple versions of dependencies to make the builds easier and make it possible to use two dependencies with mismatched dependenices of their own is very rarely a problem.
Yes.

That’s a different claim and one with severe tradeoffs for the other option: you can regain access to your Dropbox after losing your password.

I'm saying "if you're going to make a claim like "roombas are killing jobs", it probably shouldn't be based on a model that makes 4 really reaching assumptions, each of which are completely unproven and quite likely wrong.

Oh, but the New York Times and a few economists thinks robot kills jobs, so this fits in with everybody's groupthink, so that's ok, right?

This is reminding me of the conversation I had with my vicar who asked me to disprove god's existence if I thought I was so smart.

I disagree. I think it's very constructive to dismiss unproven assumptions that are probably wrong, but neatly fit into some kind of groupthink. It's how a lot of science is advanced.

> A big part of our mission has always been helping our users achieve their missions.

Do these types of PR lines from companies that make productivity tools actually resonate with folks? At Dropbox’s scale, they probably materially increase economic productivity, which is great. Why push some narrative about helping aid workers achieve their mission?

This sort of language seems especially strange to me when announcing something that actually can make significant social impact. The juxtaposition between the Dropbox product and the work of this foundation jumps off the page.

Maybe it’s just me as I get older, but it seems so patronizing.

Anywho, this seems like a great project — great work DB, PR quibbles aside :)

I don't blame Google for AMP. The industry could have come together to offer a better experience and speedier page load, but of course they didn't and preferred having countless scripts and poorly optimized ads and that translated into a poor experience for users.

This created an opportunity for Google to come in and offer this solution and now we're stuck.

I don't know either party but I'd hazard a guess that they're not really offering 500k for a K developer.

They're more likely offering 500k for someone who has a lot of experience managing financial tick data in a KDB environment.

The catch will be that not everyone who has read the KDB for Dummies book (OK, I made that up) will be able to walk into a stat arb hedge fund and add 500k of value.

It is a cool project, but the one thing, that might limit your reach greatly is domain name (if you end up using long name, use ".com", otherwise the domain wont get much type-ins).

Also, the title of the website should be, what URL is, so instead of "$1 graphics" it should be "One Dollar Graphics". You can add a logo with "$1" to reinforce the name in people minds. Until you get traction and many users, you should stick to coining your name, not using shortcuts, that will confuse users and may reduce return rate for visitors.

How to connect cryptocurrencies to gain mass adoption
There are many threats to the open web. For example, governments building firewalls. Lot of content locked up in walled gardens. The death of net neutrality.

Definitely one of the threats to the open web would be the web platform falling behind "native" platforms such as mobile platforms. 10 years ago it seemed that native apps are dead, the web is going to win. And then the rise of smartphones has brought us back to a world where we are forever installing native applications. From what i can see, attempts to make the web faster (SPDY, AMP), safer (Certificate Transparency), more open (AV1) are all initiatives i can get behind. The question is : What are other companies doing to ensure the web retains its place as the premier open content / application development platform.

Yes, this is my exact same take on AMP.

With PCI-e passthru using intel_iommu, you can set this up with a gaming GPU. The driver can't tell that it's not running on bare metal.

This requires dedicating the whole GPU and the PCI-e slot to the virtual machine guest.

> It's literally the only concrete truth in this whole field

It's true only in the useless tautological sense, where your definition of "consume" and "burn" are so convoluted as to be useless.

Wood pulp is carbohydrates, which you can confirm in a bomb caloriemeter releases ~4kcal/g when burnt. But when people consume it, they derive ~0kcal/g. If you think people don't consume wood pulp, you might want to look at [0] and at the wikipedia entry for microcrystalline cellulose. Gasoline is even denser at ~12kcal/g, but still provides only ~0kcal/g.

There are much subtler examples, where at atwater factors have been shown to be ~30% different in in different measurements (between population and even for the same individual in different times). Which means that the difference between "what you consume" and "the energy you derive" is actually a random variable, with very significant variance.

And that's just the food intake; just sitting in a cold room requires much more energy than sitting in a warm room; And consuming a liter of ice cold water actually costs you ~36 kcal after your body temperature renormalizes.

So, really, it's very broad strokes.

>none of the friends I made in my 20s were friends borne of a shared struggle. [...] The city I moved to had a lot of transient worker types moving through them so there were lots of events organised by and for expats (perhaps I should call us migrants, as that's what we were). People would turn up to a bar and know nothing about anyone except that we all wanted to make friends, and maybe even hook up.

I think this is, in its own way, a kind of shared struggle: meeting with groups of expats provided you with a group that you could bond with over the shared experiences and modern "hardships" of adapting to life in a new city.

I've been using LE from the start and it's been awesome (especially with clients like acme-tiny), but wildcards changes everything.

How many of you are really going to set up a custom DNS updating script?

Maybe I misread something but I remember hearing wildcard certs will only work with DNS based challenges.

Wouldn't that mean the verification tool would need to support every single registrar's / DNS provider's API?

For example, I host my domains (and DNS) with namesilo.com. Is a challenge script really going to know how to interface with their API to add / remove the TXT records?

What about the 50 other popular DNS providers?

Indeed, that's what I looked for too. The current transistor gate pitch is approaching atomic sizes, which results in electrons leaking through by quantum tunneling. I was hoping to understand more about how speed of light and quantum behavior is preventing further progress. Article only mentions transistor switching speed.
What's crazy is it only takes one bad actor to cause problems like this. Often fraudsters will just use one website to "test" if a card is good, by using it to make a small purchase. If it goes through, the card is good. One fraudster might do this 100 times on a small site. The merchant is liable for the chargebacks that will come within 30 days, and each chargeback typically costs $15. Additionally, if the percent of chargebacks as a total of all transactions goes over 2%, the merchant account provider will likely close the account due to risk.
It's funny: If you ask what people think about being held at gunpoint they're not usually very keen on it.

This is just spoofing the PCI VID:PID numbers to the driver and relying on driver bugs(?) to function. You could do the same with a few lines of kernel hacks far easier than soldering. It does not enable any features that are fused off in the hardware. This setup is not reliable.

4 Ideas to help you implementing DevOps in your Organization
I never once had pressure from a parent of a failing student. The only time I was pressured by a parent was from one of my more well adjusted students. The "what can we do to make this B an A type thing". Most of the parents I had put a frightening amount of faith in me to open opportunities for their kid and trusted my judgment.

I also went out of my way (as is typical in impoverished schools) to let them know as early as possible if their kid was falling behind. As the teacher, it's on you to figure out how to make time to try to coach kids back on track. It's unbelievably overwhelmed to try to do this for a couple dozen kids at a time, each with unique failure patterns to address.

The pressure comes from administration, whose asses are on the line to have good looking metrics.
> "yes, now that you've shown me this ad, I would like you to stop the route I'm on now and take me 17 minutes out of my way to go to the nearest Burger King, thanks" is 0%.

Oh my is that obnoxious. I'm a daily Waze user, personally, and I find this to be the stupidest dialog the app produces. It pops up every few times you end up stopped at a light -- the moment I want to look at the app to check the route it's sent me on -- and there's a dialog covering up half the screen with no obvious "go away" button (is there one? Can I swipe it away? Who knows? I'm driving and don't have time to figure that out!). And I'm like you ... who on earth is clicking these ads on purpose. I could see if I put in a 6-hour route for a road trip -- maybe I hadn't thought of where I'd eat lunch -- but on my drive home from work, am I really using a navigation app and not caring about getting home?

It is huge that they give unrestricted grants. I've been involved in the nonprofit world a lot in the last few years, and the most surprising thing I've learned is how depressingly common restricted grants are.

Restricted grants are when you give money to a nonprofit to do what you want, rather than what they want. Usually this is some highly visible thing that the donor can then claim credit for. These projects are almost never what the nonprofit would have chosen to do themselves. Often they damage the nonprofit significantly. I was talking to a nonprofit a few months ago that had branches in two different cities quite far apart. I asked them why they'd chosen to expand to another city rather than expand in the city they were in. Wasn't it a distraction? They said it was, but that they'd gotten a restricted grant to open a branch in the new city.

The less powerful nonprofits have no choice but to take such money. And they don't dare complain about it, which is why you've never heard about this issue. Exactly the opposite, in fact: they have to issue press releases lauding the generosity of the donors. Which then perpetuates the problem, by making it seem to future donors that restricted grants are how you're supposed to do charity.

I don't know how Dropbox figured out that they should do unrestricted grants. It's a remarkably sophisticated insight for beginners.
Can confirm, this is mostly campaign to remind about risks so people make more informed decisions.

There was some other campaign couple moths ago that warned about "kryptowaluty i ich podróbki" that tried to target project advertising as cryptocurrencies that are just normal scams like OneCoin and clones (Dascoin etc). I've seen many people here in Poland falling for that.
