So, not to put too fine a point on it, in your mind there's a privileged class that deserves to have housing they can afford and an unprivileged class that does not. And this privilege is largely hereditary.

Do I follow you correctly? I have to assume not, because such a notion is an affront to equity, fairness, and progressive principles. I would very much like to know where I erred in following your logic.
A client asked me to create an indoor positioning system. I ended up with using WiFi signals and classification algorithms to decide where among the pretrained coordinates the device is.

I don't know how is that relevant to what I'm saying at all. I never said it can't be used for evil. Also, North Korea doesn't fulfill the condition of being internet-developed area before the turn to an oppressive regime happened.
Still if the updates aren't enforced, all we will get are Oreo devices without updates, Treble or not.
I know. This is what I do every time there's an app that needs accidental one-time camera or GPS access, but not a trustworthy enough to be granted those permanently. Like a banking app that can show me nearby ATMs when I need one (but then I don't want to even theoretically permit my bank to obtain my location outside of this scenario).

Not convenient, as it requires a) not forgetting to revoke when done and b) a series of taps.
There are numerous solid systems-theoretic, information-theoretic, psychological (not unrelated to the two above), and sociological reasons to not expect decentralisation to be a major force.

Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and Twitter haven't exactly decentralised their respective areas of operation. Despite no intrinsic barriers (other than the four mentioned above) to decentralised systems developing.

Even Mastodon has largely settled on a small number of very large nodes.
Remember folks, if code signing, countersign with a timestamping service[1] so when your code signing cert expires, your older signed code will still work.

You need to take introduction to statistics and understand what a distribution is and what kinds of insights we can get from them.
I also believe in a more limited concept of private property, but setting that aside:

Property ownership in the Anglo-American legal system has always been subject to limitations. Property owners have common-law obligations both to the government (traditionally the sovereign) and to other private citizens. These are typically easements (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easement).

The US Constitution specifies that the government cannot take property without "just compensation". The legal dispute at issue here is whether California requiring Khosla to permit people to travel through his property to reach the beach is a "taking" or whether it is simply enforcing an existing easement that was already established at the time he purchased the property.

I run Slack in a browser tab . Their native apps are basically electron tabs. I wonder how many people used xmpp and irc gateways in relation to all of their active users ?
Experience tells me OEMs won't change their behavior unless legally forced to do so.
It's funny how one's own intolerance is always "right" because the other people are always "wrong."
The bank account credentials are also commonly used for ID verification online, for e.g. government services, contracts, password recovery, etc.
Hey Abe (I follow you on GitHub!). We don't actually sell anything on Kitspace. Since about a month we have affiliate links to Aisler.net and PCBWay. So far I have earned about 7 Euros through links to Aisler.net and waiting on the numbers from PCBWay. I have spent about 4000 Euros on the site and a lot of my time so definitely running at a net loss still :)

Yes, I totally can't wait to take more advantage of the Git back-end! I like the idea of visual diffs though they can have problems (if you move the entire design by 1mm say). Just having tagged versions will be the first step and we can experiment after that.

I have been pushing people to better document the projects and helping with getting the required files into place (and sometime helping them use Git/GitHub). I have been doing what I call guerrilla BOM building (never shout this at an airport!) where I sort out an OSHW project's bill of materials and send a PR. I was doing some of this today: [1][2]. I will be applying for grants to do more of this and maybe get some help with it.

You Don’t Understand Bitcoin Because You Think Money Is Real
Intensive promotion of good hand washing may prevent Norovirus outbreaks
I feel that's a hand-wavy explanation that doesn't actually explain anything, and is similar to patents being granted solely on being the same thing that was done before, but "on a computer".
Progressive Web Apps still have Chrome icon on them, and nowhere to be seen in Installed Apps list. Is Google backing up on PWAs?
I think people really underestimate the power of ad retargeting and advertising analytics. Take in some location information and cross-reference it with friends lists and their product searches and you can explain 90% of these occurrences without voice data.
Congrats on launching!

Regarding your pricing page: I feel the "10,000 API calls" and "75,000 API calls" limits on the Hobby and Growth plans would deserve some context. Is it 10k API calls per day or month? How fast do I exhaust it?

You comment mentioning that you emphasize local computation was helpful and the pricing page might benefit from including it.
So A enters the casino with $100 and B enters the casino with $50 -- he then proceeds to double them, whereas A remains steady. So, now both have $100, and B plays with just the house money.

A is losing money they had put aside -- B is losing money he didn't have to begin with.

E.g. A might be playing with borrowed mafia money, or his kids college fund (and risks losing them), whereas B doesn't risk going anywhere below where he was when he entered the casino. If anything, he has a chance to make his winnings even bigger (or at worse, lose them).

In real life (as opposed to thought experiments treating those persons like abstract entities) the origin of those money has a story, so the A=B=100 state is not all that matters to determine the consequences.
How does phonological complexity affect these things? I'm not a linguist, but Hindi at least seems way complex, with a much larger phoneme inventory than other languages I've studied.

It could very well be, but do you know what kind of evidence you would have to see to conclude that FB is listening? Otherwise you're just making a fully general argument against the possibility of this (or any such scheme) happening.

Side anecdote: One weekday after I vacationed in Tahoe, I saw a BART (subway) ad for Tahoe, and I was like, "oh, great , probably because I just came back from ... wait, that's not possible!"
Geoblocking is breaking the internet.

While I agree that startups should be respectful of privacy, that doesn't change the principle at work here. Allowing countries to enforce laws against companies that don't have a physical or legal presence within their borders is a dangerous mechanism. Introducing a dangerous mechanism to enforce a good policy will result in that mechanism being used for a bad policy later on.
Short version: it doesn't.

It's like a very long pipe with standing water in it. AC power is like attaching a pump column at one point and adding/removing pressure at just that point. This creates a /wave/ of energy that propagates, but the actual water (electrons) do not. It's more accurate to say they vibrate.

Continuing the metaphor, power plants increase the amplitude of this sloshing wave, and must be synchronized to the phase of the wave /where they connect/ (in order to be additive instead of subtractive). Consumers of the power are always subtractive, '(active/passive) power factor correction' in switching power supplies is about attempting to keep the consumption timed for efficiency. AC Motors are continuous users and mostly just draw all the time.
Yes, I wish more people followed your advice... for anything, not just blockchain.

If you don't want your personal information leaked, never post it anywhere, blockchain or not.

Now, unfortunately, as you comment, this isn't necessarily always practical. So what do we do about that?

Well, ugh! This is why buzzwords of "blockchain" like this article is trying to cash in on, are annoying.

A blockchain does NOT have to be an immutable ledger, all a blockchain has to be is cryptographically signed/linked data. Sure, Bitcoin uses a blockchain that is computationally difficult to rewrite, and therefore for all practical purposes immutable, but it also isn't scalable for storing everybody's personal information.

Instead, you can store people's personal information in a blockchain, and since they are the cryptographic holders of that key, they can null out their data if they want!

This will actually make it easier to comply with the laws they reference, not harder, because people are self-sovereign over their own data and identity.

This change, if it goes through, means I will disengage from Slack other than passive browsing from their Android app. My teammates will have to remember how to read email if they want non-trivial input.

It feels like a mixed blessing though, as it is a nice excuse to detox from this mess.
That sounds like a reasonable thought. However, although that may be true for a segment of the population, I believe that the level of social activity a person desires, and the level of excitement a person desires, are orthogonal to each other. I, for a sample size of one, need high levels of excitement. I absolutely need something to be going on at all times. What is chaotic, and stressful for most individuals is exactly the type of environment I pursue. However, I just don't derive my excitement from social activity.
This looks cool. How long have you guys been working on this?

For everyone else if you want to see their api's not very hard to take a look from their SDK.

Can anyone tell me if Valve's Steam Marketplace would constitute a "securities" platform. What is the diffrence between Valve facilitating the buying/selling some ingame currency for arbitrary amounts of real dollars between users and facilitating the buying/selling of a cryptocurrency?
>I think the concept of accredited investor needs to go away though. Why should only the super rich be able to invest in risky ventures?

Because they can afford to take the hit if the investment fails.

Behind in what way? Android still leads in many areas, such as how it handles notifications.

Agreed with this tenfold. Innovation often implies disrupting the status quo; China in many ways is entrenching the status quo in every single way possible.

Well yes and no.

The prevention of fraud countermands GDPR, so keeping the financial transactions of anonymous IDs in a public, reasonbly immutable format, is not going to be a problem, infact its going to be encouraged, because data portability is also another key feature of GDPR.

Storing people's personal pictures, well then yes, you have a problem. But then its a stupid place to keep private, non-public interest photos.
"Good. Now, if only permissions could be granted temporarily (e.g. "allow for this session", which auto-revokes after 5-60 minutes of not using the application), it'll be perfect."

This would be nice.
Well, there are two catches involved: we don't have that kind of model for a human brain, but it would be required to setup proper initial conditions for a working brain. Second, depending on the simulation method required
(classical vs. QM), the resulting model could easily end up being so ridiculously huge that we couldn't build a computer capable of running it based on current tech for lack of natural resources.
> [W]ith Android P we're starting a gradual process to restrict access to selected non-SDK interfaces, asking developers -- including app teams inside Google -- to use the public equivalents instead. In cases where there is no public equivalent for your use-case, please let us know -- we want to make sure that this process is as smooth as possible for developers, so we'll use your feedback to ensure the initial rollout only affects APIs where developers can easily migrate to public alternatives.

What's the situation with private API use on Android? What can you do with private API? Will you be rejected from the Play Store if you use it?
> just how adamant people are about FB spying via mic

I'm of the opinion that it's easier for your average Jane/Joe to believe (and maybe even preferable to believe) that someone is listening and responding to your words than a computer piecing together a picture of you from unrelated clues via some nebulous "machine learning algorithm".

Anybody can listen to your words and advertise to you based on them. It is, on the other hand, not feasible for a human to look at a stream of unrelated posts and figure out that you're pregnant.
mupdf is, in my experience, much faster than poppler for complex documents, but mupdf-based viewers generally offer less features than those employing poppler's services (like Okular). These two things might be related.
My Echo has triggered randomly when I'm nearbye and not talking. Only to say something to the effect of "Sorry I didn't understand what you say" so I'm guessing there is a bit of a bias in people reporting.
Most likely selection bias at work here.
Yeah didn't include that because it's purely anecdotal and I have no idea if my experience applies in general, in other countrie, etc, and I didn't want to sound like 'do this and it will work out', and it would take a while to properly explain it..

But here it goes: main one was volunteering with a local nature/environmental organization. Got into that after buying a scythe to keep the garden under control. Because I like proper tools etc. Turned out there was a local group scything in places, usually nature reserves, where that can make a difference with regards to preserving/enabling rare fauna and flora etc. And it turned out they were, almost to a scary extent, very like-minded on the bigger aspects in life while still having completely different backgrounds than me. Moreover I learned a ton of interesting things about biology, how current agriculture/inducstry/... is detrimental, etc. Which definitely creates bonds.

Second: volunteering in an organization helping the poor/disabled/... Same story as above. You don't do that stuff just for yourself, but because you want to help. Turns out I'm like that, and only really like others like that.

Third: climbing (mainly bouldering, not sure if that matters). To a lesser extent than above, but still.. Also interesting: like 1 out of 2 people I really consider worth my time there (without wanting to sound like an arrogant fck, but that's just how it is for me), happened to be connected to the same and/or similar volunteering organisations as mentioned in point 1 and 2. So the real connection is there probably.

Last: I always liked freaking out on hard, underground music (think goa, acidcore, tekno, mental, some dnb styles, some metal, ...). Even despite being older now I still do that once in a while, but instead of just doing my thing all alone I know tend to talk to people more. Ok there's the occasional uniteresting drug-heads and drunks, but also a striking amount of like-minded ones. Seemingly way more than on the more commercial styles.
Kubernetes support in the Edge release of Docker for Mac provides this or via minikube on other platforms.

We wrote a short doc on the former for Kubernetes itself if you happen to be on a Mac.

As far as app code, I highly recommend building on Helm if you're not already. I imagine that's what skaffold and draft are doing behind the scenes.
I won't defend that, it was wrong. I would note that he apologized for that afterwards. Any normal person would not want non-consensual sex videos of them posted on the internet, even without that, however.

That's the thing, though, more than one person can be wrong here. He said a hurtful word in the heat of the moment which is morally wrong, but not illegal. Gawker made a deliberate decision to put themselves above the law and defy a court order. It's not a big surprise which of these would lose in a court of law.
You also give up most of your privacy if you buy a smartphone with an OS made by Apple or Google.
>So if some anonymous person invents cryptocurrencies, at what point are you supposed to be considered securities?

Through the long-settled laws, rules, and procedures used to determine whether anything is a security.

Even though cryptocurrencies are the new hotness, this isn't a new or particularly interesting area of law. The tools for analyzing what counts as a security have long existed.
Awesome. I have had this much-recommended book sitting on the shelf for a year now and this is a helpful reminder that I should start on it.
Western civ standard has been extroversion fundamentalist for a long time, non-belief in extroversion superiority has often been characterized as a disease that must be cured. Much like Christian fundamentalism leads to weird scientific discussions, extroversion fundamentalism also results in weird claims. For example, masturbation leads to insanity and hairy palms, much like being alone leads to insanity and cancer. It should be easy to find statements along those lines.

Addiction to social interaction is identical to addiction to alcohol in that if you tell addicts its possible to live without the addiction, at least if they haven't hit rock bottom yet, you'll get an extremely strong reaction out of them because it threatens the addiction. No its not possible you're wrong you're evil that's not true you're making this all up you're the wrong/sick one, etc.
From what I see you just agree with my comment. Those 5 commits you described as example are the way I would do it.

The way it is described in article would make you do it in one commit and add information that would be in the ticket.
The shortfall, currently is some sort of long-term-supported version. Google's GKS and Amazon's (currently beta) EKS, seem to be the answer for the spaces I'm in. Love K8S, but not wanting to manage it like I currently manage operating systems.

The pace of K8S versions, and subsequently things like ingress controllers for various tech stacks, is currently a whirlwind.
You made my day, thank you! I've been using Ableton Live's warping mechanism with Complex Pro settings, and this seems really promising alternative.
https://www.flydata.com/blog/hive-and-redshift-a-brief-compa...

Used Redshift for our large data needs. No reason to look to anything else, given our time-shifted data could easily be fit into Redshift. For larger data, we would have to have some other solution.
I think there are two acceptable answers in addition from the obvious possibility of bad management.

1. Many engineers do not work on core products. Many of these companies operate like quasi accelerators at times: hire smart engineers since you can afford it, hire a few good PMs, see what happens, then market the most promising results. Twitter had Vine, Snap had Spectacles, and maybe one of the best examples of this is Amazon. They didn't need thousands of engineers to run an e-commerce site, but they did need them to build out a cloud, and Alexa, and a video streaming service, etc. Other companies want to replicate this model.

2. Scale is hard. As soon as you hit a limit of what off the shelf software or current open source offerings can do, you have a hard problem on your hands. There are certainly more 'web scale' products that exist now to make this process easier for startups, but it can still happen. It's also possible that even if there are products that can scale, it would end up being cheaper to spin up a large team of good engineers to replicate a commercial offering if you're optimistic about the companies growth.

"Unlike higher-level
languages, the C standard does not define any checks that
could detect such erroneous accesses ["buffer overflows,
NULL
pointer dereferences, and
use-after-free errors"] and then abort the program."

Stephen Kell, in "Some Were Meant for C: The Endurance of an Unmanageable Language", writes a simple and fairly strong argument that, for C, that's not a valid complaint. Since C is a systems language, the proper place to look for those (particularly runtime) checks is in the combination of the C standard and the system it's running on, particularly the hardware.

Edit: "Compiler optimizations can lead to
false positives
. For example, a false positive that was found in an ASan-instrumented
Firefox build was caused by load-widening [55] where a series of loads is transformed into a single load of several memory values at once while potentially exceeding the bounds of
an object. Due to platform-specific alignment requirements,
such an optimization can be correct at the system level; however, ASan classified it as a bug because the access would
be out of bounds in C."

Yep, there we go.
"Yeah, it's a bug . . . we didn't want you to actually _hear_ us laughing at you."
You're a genius. Absolutely. That's such a good solution! I had considered using a rag or something, but I was concerned about it getting stuck around a bend, as well as the awkwardness of rolling it up just right. If you overheat the pipe, the bread will just burn off harmlessly, and if it gets stuck, you could just turn the water on and it'll dissolve it or pop it out.

Thank you. There's an awkward pipe in my bathroom whose shut-off won't quite close enough. My wife will be so thrilled.
I don't own one of these--are there any conditions under which Alexa will laugh normally/in an expected way?
