If you don't use it beyond the trial, it's like the public payphone option mentioned by another commenter - someone could take your number. But if you choose to get a paid account (which, among other methods, can be acquired using Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, or a prepaid gift card purchased with cash), then the number will be yours. JMP is probably the most anonymous way of getting a phone number.

> Haskell does a lousy job representing the majority of ideas that make category theory useful to mathematicians. For example, universal properties are neglected Haskell, and at best they're implicit. Nobody actually thinks about the math when they're writing Haskell programs, they just think about Haskell types and programs, which makes the "techniques and patterns" of Haskell programming just as arbitrary as the conventions in random Javascript libraries. It's just that there are fewer names for the same thing because fewer people write serious programs in Haskell.

That’s an excellent point. So many people think they’re doing category theory when they’re writing Haskell, but Haskell is essentially nothing like the mathematics it borrows terminology from. They’re really not comparable. Which is absolutely fine, but then people shouldn’t draw parallels to the actual mathematics when the terminology is similar in name only.
> Mining for bulk materials (iron ore, coal, copper, aggregates, etc) is going to be 100% mechanised at the scale that big buyers are interested in.

Why do you assume that? It seems to be not the case for cobalt: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/business/batteries/c...

Mechanization makes sense in much of the world because there is a high up front cost, but the ongoing costs are dominated by energy and maintenance costs. If those costs are higher than the general labor cost then why would you mechanize?

Congo has been dominated by civil war for a long time, that generally depresses the cost of labor.

Absent this article is a discussion of alternatives to renaming. Reading the article would hint that a semver major bump would just leave you high and dry! This is certainly true in some ecosystems like Ruby or Java < 9. But other ecosystems have solved this problem at the language level. Javascript, Rust, and others allow you to import multiple versions of a module so long as you don't expose types from that module in your public interfaces (not enforced by JS -- but by convention). You still reach the problem the article references once you have those types in your public interfaces or they use singletons. That means that your langauge's package manager needs to handle these dependencies differently (peer dependencies) giving you more flexibility at the cost of additional complexity in package management.

> What exactly is the end goal

The end goal is to prevent password spraying attacks. If the attacker can get in on the first try because the user has re-used credentials in between two services, account lockout policies don't help and neither does BlindHash (if the compromised service wasn't using it). For it to bring any significant security benefit you would need everyone to use it (which will obviously never happen).
That would be interesting as I expect the gap to be with larger firms with more politics and administrative overhead in general. Far as skill, I'm not saying they're unskilled so much as not that much more skilled than managers or specialists that make tiny fractions of what they make.

Goldman Sachs is so unusual I wouldn't use them for extrapolating general trends. They do hire tons of people much smarter than their CEO to do the work that leads to CEO's decisions but make way less. It fits my model as a data point. They do pay some of their clever employees small fortunes a lot more than some other companies, though. They also lobby Congress and infiltrate regulators which is how they negotiated the bailout. They're more scheming that most creating wage gaps. On a whole, nother level of creating problems. ;)

For a given level of energy output, metabolizing fat requires more oxygen than metabolizing carbohydrates. There are some minor individual differences in efficiency but the basic relationship is true for everyone. That's why you don't see low-carb diets consumed by athletes who compete at the top levels of sports in which VO₂max is a limiting factor.

Thanks for adding nothing to the discussion - the team page tells me nothing about the challenges they're going to face, and how they're going to overcome them. Even Google, struggles, since they've been running Youtube at a loss since 2005. Streaming video is ridiculously expensive, and they are relying on CDNs, who can give them the boot at _any_ time, and I doubt they have fallbacks beyond those that have partnered with them. It'd be no different to akamai hosting the video (which I believe Apple uses IIRC, or some other big names).

I think the point is moreso, connecting correlation to causation is really, really, really, really hard, even for simple stuff. And sample size doesn't change that, it may even make it harder (see Simpson's Paradox re: 1964 U.S. Civil Rights Act).

>Excess calcium in the arteries will build up and become blockage.

You may want to look into recent studies, they are finding that when an artery is "scratched" (white sugar can scratch arteries) deposits (plaque) are designed to cling to this damage and are a repair tool. If your diet is poor, it can cause damage (as it seems you already know) but also being overweight, lack of exercise, and other things can contribute to weak cellular structure so arteries are more easily damaged.

(note, I got this info from friend who recently had a heart attack and went to the Mayo Clinic, and this is the info they passed on, and is confirmed elsewhere online)
Yeah, but the cost of manipulating and transporting information approaches zero over time.
OK, that makes sense. Is it possible on your platform to make videos private? IE, I add a video, make it private and then add something that says "this video can only be played from subdomain.mydomain.com" (which I could then have behind a paywall of course).

> Beaker does not currently support IPFS, even though it used to in the beginning. We're hopeful Beaker might support IPFS once again in the future, but for now, Beaker just supports Dat.

Since you're a developer at protocol labs, I will assume you remember why beaker dropped IPFS in favor of DAT. I think IPFS is cool but the biggest hurdle for adoption is the naming scheme. More specifically what happens when a file content changes. You have IPNS to handle this but as far as I know it's virtually unusable because it's extremely slow. And I got the impression that you guys have no real solution for this, and maybe IPNS is not even one of your top priorities because you're focused on other important things.

But as a user this matters a lot because without a name resolution system, we're left with static files only, and while this may be a good alternative to S3, this means that's about it and people can't build apps on top of it. I wonder what your plans are and if you have any solution to building an actual functional IPNS, or if you're focused on building an S3 alternative at the moment.
> Now most people don't even use those kinds of consolidation apps either, and resign themselves to literally running many separate apps.

IMO that is really one personal hell for me. I blame android and apple for this. I was happy with my N900 where you got one chat application that supported SMS, Skype, XMPP, AIM, ICQ, whatever. The world was so simple back then.
Now everything has to be a separate "app", where previous there where just plugins. Such a decline in usability.

Fair to say that anyone who's read and enjoyed a book (or series of books), and subsequently seen a TV or film interpretation of the work, will almost always commend others to read, then watch. (There may be exceptions - never heard of one myself.)

No, they don't have to. But I also don't have to refrain from saying they are lazy jerks that are breaking the Internet.

They are lazy jerks that are breaking the Internet.

And, in case you haven't noticed, I did go somewhere else. Here. This is somewhere else. A site that provides a forum for commentary on articles from other sites that appeal to one's intellectual curiosity. And here, on this site, I am joining my voice with those that routinely complain when a site uses script to display text, and does not display text if the script does not run.

We have building codes for physical structures that mandate certain minimum requirements for creating buildings fit for human occupation. They ensure that people don't cut corners and hurt people through negligence. They ensure that carelessness in building does not result in arbitrarily denying someone in a wheelchair access to areas that would otherwise be usable. The vast majority of people do not need to know how to build a stairway according to code, but they can all benefit from properly-built stairways.

In the same way, in lieu of actual enforceable codes, the majority of Internet consumers can still benefit from some knowledgeable people that scream their heads off every time someone is caught cutting corners. Malicious scripts exist, and the only safe way to access the web is by allowing scripts only from trustworthy, pre-approved sites. The ignorant majority is gradually coming around to block-by-default, after too many times being burned by trusting site-operators, or their ad networks.

If it annoys you that people complain, you are free to use the built-in "downvote" function of this site, the built-in "hide" function, or to write your own client-side script that removes posts containing objectionable keywords. You are not required to engage with the people who annoy you by complaining about badly-built sites in the same manner that vocal vegetarians annoy me.

A dev on my team wrote the following Excel 2000 credits (it was a flying carpet-like game). Afaik that was around the time BillG put his foot down and mandated no new credits. Enterprise customers felt these credits were both a sign of wasted engineering time ("you could have fixed x bugs instead!" and wasted disk space. It's logical, but only partly true. Shipping software on CD means a very long stabilization phase. You couldn't really "fix more bugs" because every bug fix had a risk of introducing another one. That means some Office teams would literally complete their work a year before shipping. They'd sit around half-heartedly helping other teams. That's when someone would take time to write credits. These credits were often tightly-optimized C and assembly, taking very little space. The facts couldn't overcome the optics, so that was the end of fun Microsoft credits.
Microservices with Spring Cloud
That's insane to my ears. Maybe it's just where I live, but speeding isn't just a fine you pay, it has legal ramifications. It's literally breaking the law. You get points on your license that causes your insurance to go up for years afterward, and after enough points, it causes your license to be taken away. It's not even unheard of for commercial drivers to be fired and not be able to get another job for as few as one or two speeding tickets.

Again, I do hear these conversations quite often but it never gets easier to hear someone talking so casually in a public forum about how little they care about being caught repeatedly breaking the law and endangering the lives of everyone else around them. I'm glad Waze has built a tool to enable that behavior.
I was thinking of something similar for applications. Just earlier today I needed a large dataset for some machine learning with Jupyter notebook in a git repo. I don't want to store the dataset in the git repo due to the size, and I don't really want to deal with "downloading the file if it isn't already downloaded into some location".

What would be awesome is something like this little bit of hypothetical Python code:

import ipfs
file = ipfs.file(FILE_HASH, keep=True, share=True) # THIS LINE
with open(file) as fin:
# Do stuff like a normal file.

No need to distinguish between local files and cloud files! You can choose whether to keep the file permanently or temporarily, and whether to share it back to other IPFS nodes. You would probably need a system service to do this seamlessly as you suggested.

Sure, it might take a some time to download it at first - but you have to deal with that either way. On subsequent runs, it all just works. (I assume for popular enough files you don't have to worry about the availability of the file, especially if people tend to share back by default).

The big benefit being it is simpler to share datasets and actually use datasets - you can do both at the same time with one little file content identifier (FILE_HASH above).

Hey everyone! I'm Alex, CEO and co-founder of Scale. One of the biggest bottlenecks to development in perception and vision for robotics and self-driving companies has been the ability to label 3D data.
