I've assimilated most friends and all family very easily by educating them about the why. Not to mention if you're a parent explicitly banning sharing of photos with relatives via social media. People accept any small inconvenience or lack of feature quickly. But at this point I'm not following on the "so behind" comment. Care to elaborate?
I find that unlikely. They got 250 MUSD quite recently and they need IPFS working if they want filecoin to work.
Don't worry. Facebook's going to solve the problem by verifying advertisers with postcards.

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/02/20/587070994...

Except they only apply to ads with candidates mentioned in the copy, so it wouldn't stop Russians from promoting anti-immigrant sentiment, texas secessionism, or co-opting black lives matter protests. And it doesn't stop a Russian national from buying ads if they maintain a residence in the US. And it wouldn't stop the sort of meddling outside of advertising (fake accounts, fake pages, fake news articles).

So Facebook's working very hard to look like they're solving the problem. Guess we're in safe hands.

Slack is a quick sign up, and pay if you want history over 10,000 messages, all on day one less than five minutes. IRC, possibly available by hacks/add-ons and not by default or available via quick button, is missing chat history, loses messages when offline, doesn't support uploads, I'm not sure if there's any good mobile apps, but without some of the above, they'd be broken anyways. IRC's only real advantage over slack is that it's not Electron/Cordova based.
I almost forgot that they did this. Unfortunately this doesn't work with these kinds of "artisan" projects because the material/startup costs tend to be high, and actually come down as the product gets more popular due to economies of scale. That's why you have group buys, and companies like Kickstarter. You need the money up-front, and you need some early adopters who are willing to go in deep on it.

AFAICT it tends to be the opposite for software as long as you can ship an MVP really early: there's no need to chase bugs and run tech support if you're writing code that only 10 people will depend on. It's a big time sink, but these kinds of things tend to be labors of love in the first place.

Telegram isn't remotely similar to Signal. Telegram communications aren't encrypted by default, and Telegram group chat messages aren't encrypted at all.
I know a lot of people using LVT transistors in 28 and 16/14nm processes, including relatively low power (mobile and embedded) designs. I personally have used LVT variant SRAM blocks for both our 28nm and 16nm designs, and ULVT cells manually placed for critical path for Neo's FPU for our 28nm chip.
Ah, said like a classic startup bro who really doesn't realize how badly he's getting screwed on equity yet.

> Why don't the people at the top want to share?

There are people like that in every wealth bracket. The difference is, the people at the top are uniquely empowered to make it happen.

As Dana Meadows warned us over 40 years ago, the numerous "[more] success to the successful" feedback loops in our society have overcome the wealth-equalizing negative feedback loops, with the (predictable) result being runaway exponential wealth concentration.[1] Limits to Growth, despite its convenient "debunking" in the popular zeitgeist, is tracking well with real-world data.[2]

It's not a sin at all. Using the law to force them to give you more money is a sin.

This would be amazing if they do the rest of the books as well. I think this ranks up there for me with an Honor Harrington TV series.
These are federal courts - in theory state law differences should have no effect. In theory, a judge has a lot of ability to influence a result.
I hear ya. I suppose it's just 'cool' to be able to say "we have beer! We have ping pong!" but I can understand the frustration if you're not looking for an extrovert-tailored work environment.

Do any of the bigger tech companies offer quiet space? As in somewhere you can work without all the 'cool'? Seems like it would be quite a selling point for some.
>For me, driving, then parking, then traversing a long ugly parking lot is a significantly worse experience than living there and walking out.

This assumes that "there" isn't a terrible place to live and also affordable.

Your NJ example is exactly the use case I was thinking of. It makes sense when density is uniform and job distribution is not because it's effectively a spur or extension of the mass transit line.

I've pretty much given up on trying to find an all-encompassing hierarchical organization for things, on the grounds that I kept needing to make things that could go in one of several places and it was hard to choose which was the 'right' one. Now I instead just try to adhere to several principles:

1. Everything I want to keep for a long time lives in my home directory, so I don't lose it in machine migrations and OS reinstalls, separated (as best as I am able) from big stuff I don't need to keep (like installer images and stuff I could download again), simply so if I have to back it up to a space-constrained device it is easy to fit without needing a weeding out first.

2. I use the simplest file format I can, so for example a text file instead of a word processor document, for longevity. I still have old documents in obsolete word processor formats as a painful reminder of the cost of breaking this rule.

3. I rely on search (like find or spotlight) to find things. Accordingly, I try to use standard terminology and make sure my spelling is correct. It sucks to try to find something I know I wrote a few years ago, fail, and later discover my search failed because I originally misspelled the term I was searching for, or used an esoteric synonym.

4. Probably the most structured thing I have is my journal, which is just text files. For instance, today's journal entry is in ~/Documents/Journal/2018/2018-02-21.txt. The first line is today's date in ISO-8601 format, which means I can concatenate multiple entries and still be able to know which day any given line refers to. I have some awk and grep scripts that help with this.

Other than all that, I have lots of snippets stored in Yojimbo, and academic papers organized in Papers (Mekentosj). I have the iPad partners to both programs, and content synced to the iPad, one way (so the desktop is the definitive copy) because I've learned to not trust two-way sync.
"I would expect Delaware courts to will be very defendant-friendly."

The main person dealing with patents as a whole there used to be Judge McElvie, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roderick_R._McKelvie

(he's retired now). He wrote the model jury instructions for patents, etc

I talked with him a number of times, and he seemed quite reasonable (he pushed folks towards settlement, tried to make sure patent cases had the expertise, in the form of special masters or whatever, that it requires for judges to understand them, etc)

By statistics, Delaware was not "defendant friendly" in patent cases (There are some papers with the numbers i'm too lazy to look up, but google can find them for you)

Can't say how it is now though.
Isn't that kind of thing already handled by package managers?
Doesn't everything eat away at your teeth or at least in the modern American diet?
State law differences do effect federal courts, but they don't affect federal law questions like patent law.

I wonder if this will have an economic impact on the communities of East Texas.

I think I read somewhere, though I cannot recall where (maybe Ars), that some companies where investing in community projects, events, and recreational facilities to improve their brands (essentially bribes) in anticipation of patent cases coming to the district.

Anyone know where I got that idea from, and if there might be an economic impact to the region?
I've worked in numerous coworking places across the US, from the local mom-and-pops to the larger global companies.

All of them have private offices for rent, which curtails the noise issue. All have meeting rooms to book. Most have phone cubby-holes.

My experience has also been that you can socialize as little or as much as you'd like, it's up to you. You can attend events, or not. You can drink, or not.

That said, there are large cultural differences between the younger, startup-scenester spots and the more diverse small-business ones. The latter usually skew older and include non-tech businesses like attorneys and realtors. I prefer these and have enjoyed the "cross-pollination" of ideas and focus on turning a profit.
I've used Lastpass for awhile, and so does my work. Recently I switched to Bitwarden partly because of security concerns, partly because it's open source, but mostly due to Firefox moving to WebExtensions.

"The country underwent a devastating war, and was subjected to decades of economic and political marginalisation, with the constant threat of another war hanging over it."

If by 'decades of economic and political marginalisation' you mean it was on the Soviet side in the Cold War, then you are correct. But during that time DPRK had a strong alliance with the Soviet Union which provided them with enormous resources. Their economy was almost on par with the South. It wasn't until the collapse of the Soviet Union, in the 90s, that this changed and it was Korean belligerence in the 90s and 2000s that lead to the current state of affairs.

"The country underwent a devastating war"

Using the Korean war as justification for current North Korean foreign and domestic policies is as morally bankrupt as using the First World War as justification for Hitler's foreign and domestic policies. The DPRK has been the aggressor from the beginning.

"The NNPT is a voluntary agreement - one that its key signatories are arguably in violation of."

They signed other agreements... https://peacemaker.un.org/sites/peacemaker.un.org/files/KR%2...

"The United States also should not be making demands of the DPRK at gunpoint."

That strongly depends on the kind of demand being made. If the United States was demanding economic concessions, you'd be right, but that's the situation. The situation is that North Korea is making demands at gunpoint and is attempting to make even more devastating threats. In these negotiations, the United States has never threatened to attack North Korea's civilian population, nor has it threatened to use nuclear weapons. North Korea however, has done exactly the opposite.

There is no parity between North Korea's and the United States' actions here.
I understand, but the implication is that somehow all the other languages out there with collectively decades of experience in dependency management somehow all made the wrong tradeoff and Go is rightfully correcting their mistake.

Black coffee seems fine:

"The Decayed/Missing/Filled Surface (DMFS) scores varied from 2.9, in subjects who drank black coffee, to 5.5 in subjects who consumed coffee together with sweeteners and creaming agents. The DMFS score was 3.4 in subjects who consumed coffee together with milk but no sugar. The DMFS score of the control subjects was 4, indicating that coffee if consumed alone had anticaries action, but in the presence of additives the antibacterial and anticaries action was totally minimized."

It's a question of generalizability. Today's "AI" algorithms are intensely overfitted to their problem domains, even if they generalize well within those domains.
Well, (I'm trying not to be..insensitive) your defensive comment—and the fact that you were motivated to write it—does make me suspect you have a drinking problem (i.e. drug addiction) but haven't admitted it to yourself. The supposed glamour and sophistication of famous brands helps conceal the basic reality of 'drinking': it's drug-taking, isn't it. (Not that I have anything against drug-taking per se) And that last sentence is snarky/sarcasm?
Moxie is and will continue to go down as a legend of the digital age. He carved his spot way back with work like sslsniff/sslstrip, and has proven himself to be a real philanthropist. Kudos to him.
My biggest pet hate is borders inside borders and text inside tight borders. This dark pattern is used on mandatory health warnings on cigarette packaging in my country (and many others) I don't think this was an accident...

In a more applicable example I removed most of the borders and heavy rules from a information dense page of a popular B2B site I worked on and the readability / scan-ability of the page increased dramatically and it had a very positive reception from out clients.

I do think one thing is missing from this guide and that is point lines or point rules. This is something I think I learned reading one or Edward Tuftes books. In print horizontal rules of 0.5 - 1 points (see: https://practicaltypography.com/rules-and-borders.html ), however on the web I find dark grey 1px bottom borders to have a similar effect.
That’s pretty horrifying.
This could be good. I think Consider Phlebas is the least of the series but if it leads to the others being adapted then I am for it.

Most expensive is "Double Shot", two separate colors of plastic is used, first the legend is molded in one color (kinda built on a grid of plastic) then it's placed in the full keycap mold and the "background" plastic is shot into the mold filling all the empty space. The legends on these keycaps obviously cannot fade or wear off.

Yes. HP calculators had that.

There's another way for small volume. Laser engrave the legend with a CNC laser cutter. Then brush on laser marking powder, which is very similar to printer toner. Rerun the engraving pass at very low power, hitting the same spots just engraved. Power has to be low, just enough to melt and seal the toner, not vaporize it. Then brush off any remaining powder. This is good for cover plates with legends, signs, and such. The letters are slightly below surface level, so they tend not to wear off too fast.

This has a nice analogy in coding theory.

In general you can do things significantly faster with a lower number of bits if you leave out the redundancy required for error detection or correction.
I am completely, 100% cool with banning people based on "off platform" activity.

I know that making Nazi comparisons is cliché, but would you allow a Nazi on your platform even if he only did Nazi stuff off your platform? I wouldn't.

There a larger number of people I can amicably disagree with. I'd be unable to function professionally or socially if that weren't the case. But there are limits, and that's fine and good.

There are always downvotes with these topics. Either you are perceived as a patriarch or an SJW. I suppose thats mostly because different people have made different experiences and are biased in one or the other direction. I personally don't care - I think James Damore made some valid points, and I also like and value my female colleagues. To me thats not a contradiction.
If your starter is heat soaked, you have bigger issues than some demagnitization.
I think that you're neglecting legality/stability issues. Artisan mining can eke out a profit at low productivity rates if the laborers are operating in locations that are de jure protected from mining, but de facto have weak law enforcement. That's a big driver of artisan mining of gold, including that using child labor.

High-efficiency, high-capital-investment mining processes also require a certain amount of expected stability to justify the up-front costs. If big multinationals think that an armed group is likely to take their equipment at gunpoint, or destroy it, they'll stay away and never be in direct competition with the capital-poor, low-productivity small scale methods.
As a kid (~25years ago) I remember getting a miniature construction kit with cinder blocks, bricks and mortar mix. It might have been Teifoc [0]. I haven't played with it since then, but I still remember the smell of that mortar mix. How weird is that?

I think you mean consuming more because spending more is meaningless if inflation has risen faster than the increased spending.

A corollary trend is families having far fewer children. I imagine (but don’t have the data) that would decrease consumption more than whatever increased when we doubled our workforce.
I'm not sure of your assumption that lack of total anonymity implies no privacy. They are independently important concepts. You can have privacy (no knowledge of information shared) without anonymity.

You're right, it's the extroverts who are thrusting their preferences on the introverts. So what? Which would you rather do, get revenge on the extroverts, or come up with a solution that's amenable to both introverts and extroverts?

If all the introverts are doing is complaining about open offices and demanding private offices, they're turning this into a zero-sum game where in order for introverts to win, extroverts have to lose. Not only is that not a good result, but it's not likely to work, since it's not going to get any support from extroverts.

Mixed private/shared workspaces are a solution to this problem that benefit everyone.

It's taken me a lifetime to figure out the combination of vitamins, enzymes, amino acids and other compounds that I need to compensate for what I lack in a diet. If I followed any one websites advise, I would have serious health problems. I have also learned over time that doctors actually learn very little about this in school. They know even less about the gut. I believe that each person needs to review and study what they eat vs. what they need and use trial and error. You will find side effects to different combinations of supplements. Some supplements also affect medication you may be taking, so study that as well. Don't stop when you find some wordpress site. Look for multiple government studies that explain testing methods, numbers of participants, human vs. animal testing, etc. I found several studies that directly conflicted with each other on some compounds.

Go doesn't have a unique dependency management problem. This problem is shared by many other languages that have all solved it poorly.
