I've been using Elm for years now and it's always been openly admitted that core abstractions are still being decided. You can just look at the change log between versions (which are all sub-1.0) to see that.

You have to be okay with that to use it in production. Else you would have used something more stable instead of decided to gamble.

I think Elm is still too early to bike-shed over governance model. And people seem to think Elm is a lot farther along than it really is. Else they wouldn't have the expectations that they do. Or they wouldn't go "I don't have these issues with React."

I think the social issues Elm has are just what it's going to take if Elm wants to arrive at something more compelling that just another language. If there's a continuum with BDFL on one side and design-by-committee on the other, then you're going to have issues no matter where you move the needle.

The upside of the bus-factor-of-1 approach is that you have a visionary in the Hickey hammock. And the unavoidable downside is that you have to deal with the bandwidth of one person which describes a lot of the social issues.

I think that anyone who is uncool with that reality chose the wrong language. And a lot of the criticism that results from that, like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/elm/comments/7zk0dy/is_evan_killing..., starts to reek of the hot air of entitlement, to use Rich Hickey's words.
The way this is going we're going to have AI toasters by the end of the year.

I'd be surprised if they don't exist already. We already have AI rice cookers: "Zojirushi's top-of-the-line Induction Heating Pressure Rice Cooker & Warmer uses pressurized cooking and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to cook perfect rice." -- from https://www.zojirushi.com/app/product/npnvc
On a related note, as a new parent, I’ve been inundated with advice where no sense of absolute risk or prior probability is given. For example, stuff like “don’t sleep baby on stomach because of increased SIDS risk” or “not inducing at 41 weeks increases chance of stillbirth”. It’s like what am I supposed to do with that? Without additional quantification, it’s hard to do any kind of cost-benefit analysis. Things like convenience, sustainability, and financial burden matter too and you need to be able to find the right trade off. Even vague casual quantifications like “the chances are super duper low” would be sufficient in most cases to take action upon.
Wait, since when do posts on medium cost money? I haven’t encountered a paywall other than one encouraging me to log in. But I do vaguely remember an announcement by medium regarding charging for articles and revenue sharing with authors. Have they implemented this?
> Is there seriously some new cold war going on?

Yes, since the late 90s. Hillary Clinton's whole “reset button” thing in 2009 was about reversing the escalation in that cold war associated with the Russian invasion of Georgia.

> My prediction for the post-Sovjet area was that the US and Russia would just leave each other in peace.

That prediction was proven wrong less than a decade into the post-Soviet era.
Exactly. Or a car stopped blocking your lane so you need to break the rules and go into the on coming lane to pass. So many odd situations are possible.
> PGLAF complied with the Court's order on February 28, 2018 by blocking all access to www.gutenberg.org and sub-pages to all of Germany.

I can access www.gutenberg.org and sub-pages just fine from Germany. So the block doesn't seem to be active at the moment.

> Q: Why didn't Project Gutenberg simply remove the items?

> A: The is no reason to remove them. The 18 eBooks are all in the public domain in the US, and have been for many years. Copyright status in another country is not relevant to the legitimate ability of Project Gutenberg -- or anyone/anything in the US -- to make any use of these books.

But why then even block access from Germany? If the stance is that "Copyright status in another country is not relevant to the legitimate ability of Project Gutenberg -- or anyone/anything in the US -- to make any use of these books.", what is the rationale for the blocking.

There is also the German Projekt Gutenberg (http://projekt.gutenberg.de/) which is promoted by
Spiegel Online (one of the most widely read German-language news websites [1]) even under their own domain as http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/. I don't know what kind of relationship the German Projekt Gutenberg has with PGLAF. The German Projekt Gutenberg is accessible for me from Germany right now, but apparently has blocked the controversial books. For example the page that lists Heinrich Mann's works says about the book "Der Untertan": "Exists in Projekt Gutenberg-DE, but is blocked until 31.12.2020" {"Im Projekt Gutenberg-DE vorhanden (gesperrt bis 31.12.2020)"} [2].

It's trademark infringement because it has the Chromecast logo on it. If it didn't, it probably wouldn't be a problem. That's a big reason (but not the only reason) that fashion brands have their logo all over their products.
If you bought a shield tv, you could have Amazon prime video. They're pretty nice. I'm kind of disappointed in the new model, though. It's nice having a fully functional Android device that can gamestream, use apps that aren't made for tv with the gamepad, and stream video.

Possibly, but this would somewhat be countered by the fact that you can’t get a fielding error on a home run.

Edit to add more context:
Home runs are much more common than errors - in 2017, there were a total of 2,820 errors, less than half the number of home runs. One of the more common types of fielding errors is dropping a fly ball, so it wouldn’t take a huge percentage of would-be dropped fly balls converted to home runs to counter any uptick in fielding errors due to the ball being bouncier.
They are pursuing cases, but they are not rape cases. I believe they're human rights and other cases.
How would the US react if Russia build a missile defense site in Cuba? Cuba is closer to the US border than the site in Poland to the Russian border, on the other hand Washington is further away from Cuba than Moscow from the site in Poland. Both capitals would be in range of the interceptors. I do not really know enough to judge whether Putin's statement that one could easily replace interceptors with offensive weapons is true or not but I do not really see why you could not do that.

So would the US be okay with Russian interceptors in Cuba if they promised that it is only for defensiv purposes and can not be repurposed? Putin certainly is not the nice guy but I can to some extend unterstand that he might be rather unhappy with the actions of the USA and NATO more generally since the end of the Cold War.

EDIT: This comment was meant to be as a response to [1] asking about a new Cold War.

Nice idea and appealing market but I think this business model is on the wrong side of history when it comes to censorship. Freedom and anonymity for people cannot be realized without granting the same rights to bots.
Bullshitters make me angry.
Pipelining.
Seems punitive to me, rather than 'fair'. US copyright law has no jurisdiction the same as German copyright law, other than by coincidence of geography/volunteer base. I think Project Gutenberg is doing the best thing it can for itself. I associate the project with doing the best thing it can for people.

In general, we're going to run into increasing numbers of cases like this.

It definitely will cost more, longer time to process means more storage, less shelf life means more waste from lost sales which has to be costed in. This doesn't just apply to processed meats, plenty of cheap crap is packed with preservatives, the reason it's so damn cheap is that so little of it goes to waste when it can stay on the shelf for months.

That doesn't mean preservatives must be inherently bad or carcinogenic though - e.g canned foods, dehydrated fruit, while things are lost in the process it doesn't necessarily have to make the food toxic. But when you see a 20p cake you can bet it's going to be bad for you, not just because it's sugary, but because it's 20p and therefor must have a long shelf life, and cake isn't inherently long lived.

No need to doubt the visualization, rare cases like that blend into the visual noise. And in fact, in the most ancient generations, where this problem would be more prominent, you can see far less delineation of the generations.

They can cluster the individuals (green) into hierarchical circles cleanly, then add a line that jumps over one generation, which would not be visible at the resolution of the plot.

Right, but the one follows from the other.

I'm passingly familiar with K, Q, and a+. I've worked with Borror and I kind of own an a+ compiler. I think if you define "readable" to mean "you can learn it with two weeks intensive tuition" the fine, yeah, it's readable. But to me, lightning-fast speed doesn't make up for terse-to-the-point-of-dumb syntax.

Reads like a cruel joke to me. It's unreadable and it breaks everything we know about writing good software, and to pretend otherwise kinda comes across as macho BS. Sorry. I don't know why developers in Whitney's programming languages all have this kind of snow-blindness to the clear failings of the language. I don't know why number of characters of code is the thing we're optimising for in 2018. It's not like you're firing bytes over a 56k modem.
Another conflict of interest worth examining is that of readers of these studies. Is it in your interest to discount or promote the study? Does your lifestyle, paycheck, politics or identity (as in identity politics) bias your read?

Can someone in Germany confirm this block is actually in place?

In any case, if anyone in Germany would like to access Project Gutenberg, I maintain a full, daily updated mirror here: https://mirrors.sorengard.com/gutenberg. I also support FTP and Rsync if you’d like to download that way.

No donations are asked for, but it would be helpful if more people hosted mirrors for precisely this reason :). Unfortunately this mirror doesn’t have the search capabilities of the Project Gutenberg homepage, but it at least has all the files.

Now I’m actually curious about what is going to happen with Project Gutenberg mirrors. In general, many mirror admins (such as myself) join a project’s mirror mailing list and don’t necessarily pay attention to the right announcements to learn about this kind of legal minutia. That presents something of a logistics problem all around.

Putting aside ethics, it’s likely that many/most downstream mirrors simply won’t block German traffic. Project Gutenberg can stop redirecting German traffic to those mirrors on the fly, but they can’t stop the mirrors from being available unless they start banning mirrors (and mirror syncing traffic) that don’t enforce similar blocks...this seems logistically untenable.

It would be cool if we could get a lawyer to chime in about Project Gutenberg’s liability with respect to forcing other mirrors to comply. For example, I’m making my own mirror available to Germany. Is Project Gutenberg complicit in a meaningful sense, if they allow me to continue mirroring?
That might have happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stakeknife
You are a good writer and I enjoyed reading the article. I agree with many of the other points written here such as politics being omnipresent in the corporate world.

I am writing to add one point I did not see mentioned elsewhere:

You are making an implicit assumption that working on a "smaller" idea (like the ones mentioned in Indie Hackers) is somehow less risky than aspiring to be the next Zuck. Empirically, this seems to be false.

I have worked for ~15 years on startups. I have many friends, who are also entrepreneurs. I have observations on all sorts of efforts - from small side projects to large VC-backed bets to bootstrapped businesses.

My takeaway is that technology startups are characterized by a tremendous amount of risk and require a lot of hard work - regardless of the type of venture. I encourage you to talk to founders (in person, not reading PR-oriented websites like Indie Hackers) and verify that for yourself.

If I had to make up numbers to illustrate this notion, I'd say that making a $1B/year business might be 0.001% likely, while making a $1M/year business might be 0.1% likely - but for all practical purposes, both are incredibly challenging to pull off. If that's the case, might as well aim as high as possible and justify the risk involved.

Turns out the one thing that really matters is having a strong idea, which is forgiving to the many mistakes entrepreneurs inevitably make. In that regard, I wish you luck and hope you end up with a strong concept sooner rather than later.
I actually made this a few years ago for an ill-fated application to YC (I was still a sophomore in college).

The first big problem is that you can't trust any of the results that you receive from the workers. You can alleviate this somewhat by not accepting job results until they've been replicated by at least several other workers (lowering efficiency of the system), but then you're still vulnerable to sybil attacks.

The second issue was the total lack of privacy for the data and computations.

>Can someone who is in Germany actually confirm this block is in place?

Cannot confirm it, Gutenberg.org works fine for me.

Edit: tried 3 different ISPs, no issues.

Edit 2: Tried accessing books, this was blocked for 1/3.
The link addresses just that:

> The decision to acceed to the German Court's order to make items inaccessible from Germany is intended to be a temporary appeasement, while the appeal occurs - this is because the German appeal Court will likely look disfavorably on PGLAF if it shows contempt for the German Court.
So everyone here is agreeing that things are pretty fucked for people relying on minimum wage jobs, putting aside whether Uber/Lyft pay below or above minimum.
Even though Cuba is further away from DC compared to Poland from Moscow, wealth is more spread out in the US. There are many wealthy and influential people that reside in Florida compared to say, the border of Russia with Poland.
No, you’re mixing up missile defense and missile silo/launch site.
Can confirm it. All books are blocked even though the front page is accessible.
Works fine for me. Seems like the block is not active at the moment.

Edit: Individual books are blocked.

Completely disagree, and I think the people spending the 2010's clearing up screeds of idiomatic perl 5 would side with me :)
I don't know...most of the things described in the article are commonplace in Western society, aside from the family members preparing the corpse. He could have been describing any of a number funerals and deaths I've witnessed in the United States.
That were offensive weapons right from the start but that is of course why I picked Cuba together with the similar distances. It is only a bad example because I can not easily come up with a justification for Russia needing a missile defense site there that is as good or bad as NATO justifying the need with Iran and North Korea.
Interesting, thanks. I wonder if the block was more localized then all of Germany, if it was simply misconfigured, or if they just decided to stop blocking the traffic.
Bodies are uber cool (and that comes from a guy shooting stars and nature with Nikon D750 every weekend), but Sony lenses portfolio is pathetically small at this moment. You know, the other half of the whole quality equation camera.

Where is cheap all-around high quality 24-120? Cheap and yet superbly sharp 20mm 1.8 or better? Yes, you can find some, but cheap ain't part of description.

Size and weight isn't everything (otherwise everybody would be shooting with cell phones or gopro-likes). I don't mind my 2.5kg setup when backpacking for weeks, I don't mind it when hiking/ski touring. I know what I get in return. For climbing/skiing/paraglide gopro is anyway much much better.

Also, you can't cheat physics and have big sensor complemented by lightweight tiny lens and expect good result. Now if Nikon would come up with these electronics in in their FF D line, I would take it even if they would weight the same.
He explains this further down. To paraphrase, he doesn't want to endanger his appeal by flaunting the German court order
This is usually the beginning of lots of bad things. When a company with such a monopoly starts banning competitors to promote their own products, it’s clear that their customers aren’t at the core of their engine. You should never ‘be evil’ to your own customers for short-term profit gain.
By the same token, if the Ukraine had been more paranoid about Russian intentions, they might not have been invaded by Russia yet again. It’s not just the US, Poland has no interest in becoming a Russian satellite again. We can try to equivocate, but after WWII Russia took over half of Europe, and the US didn’t.

Would Russia have rebuilt Japan and let it go? The history of (East) Germany suggests an answer.
According to https://www.wired.com/story/google-waymo-self-driving-car-ca... Waymo is testing such scenarios and more.

There's little upside for them to release videos from such testing. It's not sexy, it's not polished and they don't tip off competitors about how advanced (or not) they are.

Some of them (like the ones in the south Pacific and the one south of India) are exclusive economic zones around islands. EEZ boundaries typically extend 200 nautical miles from shore (or until they run into another EEZ). See this map [1].

Presumably the nations that control these zones aren’t fishing them extensively, but other nations are fishing the international waters surrounding them, which is why you can see certain EEZs as negative space on the map in TFA.

I'm still grasping GDPR myself, but in terms of deleting users from backups might be solved via uids. Each user should also have a uid that isn't PII by itself. Upon getting a eraser request you remove everything and preserve the uid and flag it. Then, when restoring from backup you can easily see which users need to be erased, and you've not stored PII for any amount of time.

As an aside, you also have to understand that some data is only PII when you have other data joined with it. Extended PII can easily be ingested into a system and stripped of its association with the user. That value independent of other identity data means its no longer PII, extended or otherwise. But, again I'm still grasping this myself. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Browsing indices works, however search is blocked as well.
You keep mentioning how you're consulting on this issue at the moment and claiming that those of us more cautious than you just don't understand how European law works. Would you mind sharing a little more to justify that authority -- what qualifications do you have that we don't, what sorts of business are you consulting with and how much is compliance (including your advice) costing them, and why is your interpretation of the GDPR reliable in cases where a literal reading either clearly contradicts you or contains significant ambiguity that you imply doesn't matter?
I started a note on your gitlab issue, but saw you already had an mmio reference linked. i did the pci version and it looks about the same complexity.
