Citizenship doesn't go away just because you don't renew your passport.
This is a great post, and is exactly the line I've been thinking along for a long time.

I currently use uMatrix for this and it implements this almost perfectly. However, it's scope is too narrow: it only controls requests within the webpage, so doesn't have access to it many requests the browser will make outside of that scope.

If you start by broadening the scope from webpage to browser, you eventually get to the operating system level, at which point we're really just talking about a firewall/proxy tool with granular control. I've used things like privoxy and proxomitron for this in the past; little snitch is the best I've used in terms of UX and control, but it's still nowhere near as good as the uMatrix interface.

There are a number of challenges with making such a tool, the primary two being: (1) mitming secure connections, (2) contextual control, differentiating iframe, js, css, image, etc. requests becomes more difficult once you're working at a global level.

Given these limitations, uMatrix in combination with a good, strict about:config that allows granular control over everything may be the best we can ask for in the short term.
If you don't know what you're doing, it's easy to misconfigure iptables or whatever and inadvertently allow traffic from the internet to Memcached.

A quick Shodan search[1] shows like 90k boxes publicly accessible Memcached. Misconfiguration of firewalls is a serious problem.

The driverless revolution (whenever it takes place) seems to favor fleet management companies, not dispatch companies.

It lowers the barrier for entry to pretty much anybody, with fleet manager taking care of car washes, interior clean-ups, refueling, parking at idle hours, ongoing maintenance and fixing occasional flat tires.

What part of Uber/Lyft business model makes them more sustainable when compared to Hertz, Avis, Budget, Alamo, Dollar, Fox Rent-a-car, ZipCar, Tesla Driving Network, any local car dealer with excess inventory, Ford- or Mercedes- or any other maker-branded service, or a small mom-and-pop operation with just a couple vehicles in their fleet?

I have an inexpensive stepper-based cutter and it has really impressed me. I had very low expectations when I bought it, but it's quite nice as a pen plotter.

With an 0.05mm fiber tip technical pen, the stepper movements are indistinguishable in the final drawing. I've also run the same drawing multiple times to check repeatability, and it's within probably 10 thou (10 * [1/1000 in]) at least at first glance with a small drawing.

Having a servo-based movement is probably important if you are cutting tough outdoor vinyl or stencil material, but if you are just moving a pen across paper, some of the advantages of servos don't come into play.

The only problem I've had with it is when cutting 4-5mil mylar for stencils. There, because of variations in the thickness of the mylar (I think), the machine sometimes fails to cut completely. It doesn't lose its place in the drawing, though, which makes me think that they are running the stepper motors in a closed-loop mode similar to how you'd use a servo. I am not 100% on that, it's just a theory I've developed after watching the thing at work for a while. I'm still enjoying just playing with it enough for the moment, so I haven't bothered to dig into its innards.

Lots of fun for under 200 bucks though, IMO.

Those are good reasons to choose BorgBackup over Tarsnap, but they aren't related to your original claim about pricing. There are two questions here:

1. What are the benefits and market size of Tarsnap compared to other backup solutions like BorgBackup + GCP?

2. Would Tarsnap make more profit it it raised its prices?

We seem to be arguing about question 1, but Patrick's advice to Colin is about question 2. Earlier you pointed out that Tarsnap is 25 times more expensive than GCP which indicates that Tarsnap's target market is not very price-sensitive. If Tarsnap doubled its prices for new customers would the rate of new signups really drop by more than 50%?

5) Small binaries

That part is amazing. I personally do not have a real use case to exploit it [1], just find it neat from an engineering viewpoint...

I guess, it has an aggressive dead code removal process, compared to other - nowadays hot - compiled languages (Go, Haskell, Rust, D, Crystal). In those languages if you use a small part of their standard library, you usually get large chunks of it linked in statically (+ runtime if there is such)...

(Once I've tried LTO with one of my Rust project: it increased the build time tremendously but in the end it managed to shave off only 30KB from my several MB binary...)

> (not sure about the modern Russia)

Highly dependent on the hospital and provider you have. Modern Russian does have a general government health care for most things, but you can also get private insurance. For the general care, you usually end up going to a local community clinic. For paid insurance, typically you can get a home visit within a few hours from a doctor who does the basics and writes you a doctors note for sick leave. (My experience has been that the sick leave is pretty generous; last time I had the flu I was given a week's rest, then for my follow up the doctor told me to take another 3 days)

It's not perfect for other things, but compared to the health care situation I had when still living in the US, this facet is far better. (at my last job in the US, both Insurance and my Work Place refused to approve sick leave for a summary from my in-network GP that suggested that a treatment required several days of recovery after some radiation therapy. They said I'd have to go to another clinic to have the situation reviewed; the second clinic decided I was fit to work so my choices were either burn vacation days or sign a form to accept time off without pay during recovery.)
You know,.. I actually agree with you. For whatever reason, my below average weight wife has persistently elevated insulin, but normal blood sugar. Still, it was high enough for her doctor to wonder whether she had pancreatic cancer (she doesn’t, thankfully). Shes athletic and active and doctors can’t say she her body simply produces more insulin.

It’s really awful to be doing research and read over and over that those with high insulin should lose weight. If my wife loses 10 pounds she would actually be underweight. When she was pregnant last, she lost ten pounds and the doctors were starting to get worried.

The shittiest part is that my fat diabetic family try to give her diet advice while simultaneously having no discipline. We’ve tried diets to lose what weight she has left and bring her insulin down, but no dice. Meanwhile, my family says they’ll diet, eats trash, are fat, and have diabetes and act as if they and my wife have the same disease.

Ultimately focusing all our attention on people engaging in self destructing behaviors lessens the amount of time spent helping people who actually have a disease

I have always thought Uber drivers are either mispricing their vehicle cost, or doing some sort of tax optimisation.

If you have a nice car that you only drive a little bit on the weekend, so that most of the cost is in the fixed stuff (age based depreciation (a 5 years old Porsche with 0 mile is still 5 years old), insurance, parking etc), and the tax man let you allocate cost based on miles driven (I am not based in the US), then Uberring where you "try to get business" by driving up and down a highway would be great.

You may already be familiar with this, but the "Autopen" is a commercial device descended from older machines which did exactly that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopen

I'm not sure how current ones work exactly, but the 1940s through 1960s ones used a system of cams running against a template. It's more complex than just the 2D motion of a pen plotter, as I believe it can also alter the pen angle and pressure somewhat.

It descends from older devices which go all the way back to Thomas Jefferson, who used various mechanical aids to make simultaneous multiple copies of handwritten documents.

They are quite clever, although today largely forgotten outside of their historical connections.

In the short run, we could even use some of the taxes to compensate producers and induce them to switch to producing healthy food. That should help take some objection away from agribusiness.

For consumers, the taxes should be earmarked to subsidize healthy food and thus increase demand for it. Therefore, consumers do not pay more taxes in aggregate and that should reduce objection from fiscal conservatives.
Yes, I see this argument everywhere, but I really don't like the idea of artists earning their money with cheap merchandise instead of the product itself: The music. The album should be the good to sell, not some unnecessary accessoires.

And remember that not every project is a rock band. Think of an ambient, experimental artist creating calm music for home listening and an adult audience - those artists won't fill any venues or impress their listeners with colorful t-shirts. They rely on album sales.
>to say nothing of the fact that i have zero interest in using the criminal justice system to look for "druggies" (violent drug dealers, sure, because they're violent; drug abuse is a health problem that the criminal justice system is ill-equipped to deal with).

Me neither, I was using your example (connection to drug dealers). You could similarly apply this to connections to murderous gangs and you have a similar argument. Saying drugs are ok is just detracting from the point.
Housekeep | Senior full stack or front end engineer | London, UK | ONSITE https://housekeep.com

Housekeep has quietly taken over as the leading platform for cleaners working in London. We measure our success first by the number of cleaners that want to work with us, and second by the number of satisfied customers who keep booking them week after week. We have created some world-first technologies to grow these numbers month after month, and to increase our efficiency as we scale.

You would be joining early enough to influence tool-choice and architecture as we go forward. We're looking for someone who is excited to work on new features from day one.

Our stack:

- Python, Django, Django Rest Framework

- PostgreSQL (including PostGIS for its advanced geographic modelling capabilities)

- Angular 5

- A hybrid mobile app for cleaners developed using Ionic

Experience in any of these technologies would be a plus, but we're more interested in your track record of building great products for the web.

If you're interested in hearing more about what we're doing, our economics and growth, and the kinds of things you might get to work on, email me. I'm the CTO and you'd be talking to me directly. We don't use any recruiters.

Rokt (www.rokt.com) | Software Engineer (Clojure) | Sydney, Australia | Full-time, ONSITE

Rokt is hiring thoughtful, talented functional programmers to expand our Clojure team in Sydney. Ideally we're looking for mid- to senior-level engineers, but get in touch even if that doesn't describe you: above all, we're looking for great people, not "X years in the job already".

Rokt is a successful startup (150+ employees, Australia's second-largest series B completed successfully last year) with a transaction marketing platform used by some of the world's largest ecommerce sites. Our Sydney-based engineering team supports a business that is growing rapidly around the world. You'd be joining the team responsible for Rokt's "Data & Integrations Platform", which uses Clojure to do the data-munging we need to connect to a variety of advertisers' and ecommerce partners' CRMs.

If you have professional Clojure experience, great. What we're really looking for, though, is developers comfortable with a simple, functional style of writing code -- we'll happily bring you up to speed on Clojure if you're not there already. If you have a Java background and you're looking to move in a more FP direction, we'd love to talk to you. If you're a Lisper or Haskeller, or have a background in another FP language, we'd love to talk to you.

Contact me at sam@rokt.com

Please note that unfortunately at this point we can only consider applicants who already have a legal right to work in Australia.

Probes:

What is max velocity we can, with current tech, achieve for shooting a probe to a target;

Possible to build a giant rail gun in space where a falcon heavy is the payload (plus a nuke battery) and we shoot the falcon heavy out the rail gun, then at some point it’s various components engage to keep it heading to target.

Also if you shoot a rocket out a rail gun, and it’s clipping along, will the rocket thrust add any velocity, or should you save all that fuel to land the heavy on the remote planet?

Do rail guns behave differently in space?

At a first glance the racial category "white" on its own is obviously underrepresented at Google both relative to the population of California and relative to that of the United States.

California is ~79% "white" (2005 data here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_California ) whereas Google is only ~56% "white" (2017 data here: http://fortune.com/2017/06/29/google-2017-diversity-report/ ).

How exactly would you suggest people read the paper? The article linked to a brief [1] which says literally absolutely nothing about how they conjured up their numbers. And the paper itself is here [2]. It's rather worse than a paywall. Instead the paper is restricted to their "sponsors" until an embargo of up to 6 months.

This sort of behavior should not instill confidence in the paper's conclusions. And I think it was completely reckless of the Guardian to run an eye catching headline with absolutely 0 justification given to the numbers other than an implicit appeal to authority by calling it an MIT paper. Though such is the state of the media today.

Go to a local sign store, the kind of place that advertises making vinyl signage, and ask.

The cutters used to cut vinyl signs can be used as pen plotters with inexpensive adapters. A busy shop may not want to mess around with one of their cutters, but there are lots of mom-and-pop operations that would doubtless do it for the right price.

There are Youtube videos of people in the vinyl cutting industry using Sharpie markers and cheap rolls of butcher paper to try out designs before committing themselves and slicing up lots of expensive vinyl. Some show the pen adapters for various models of wide-format vinyl cutter in detail.

If the drawing you want is relatively small (less than 12" or 13" wide by any length) someone with a hobby/desktop vinyl cutter could do it. You'll have to ask around or try some of the various web forums dedicated to plotters, though, since 3DHubs (which is what I'd recommend if you were looking for a one-off 3D print or laser cutter job) doesn't have vinyl cutters / cutting plotters as a category.
I would hope that people would spend their effort improving open systems instead of closed ones. The same effort could be spent improving matrix (via a terminal client if one of the existing ones don't suit or improving the slack bridge or implementing features slack has and matrix is missing)
