I've done glider pilot training and gliders are an aberration as they are built to be supremely aerodynamical. Yet, once you go high speed (>100km/h), they are noticeable and at 140km/h they sound like an approaching storm, so you definitely won't miss them nearby.

Right, but it's feasible for any other company to build a product that delivers e-mail as effective as Mailchimp to the exact same audience. There isn't an implicit or explicit audience limitation in this case.
That isn't exactly what I wrote, but I'll still try to answer your question.

An alias is only going to be available to the current shell and it's going to be stored in memory. A script is going to be accessible to the entire system and stored on disk.

In the majority of my use-cases I require shipping software to production systems and my scripts are used to manage production services. The last thing I want to do is having to manage aliases on multiple systems ( some of which I do not own ).

Usually the difference from $50 to $150+ has a lot to do with aging too. You're essentially paying someone to store a high priced item for you for [x] years in appropriate conditions. Depending on your tastes and the wine it can be a huge difference whether or not its worth it.

There are also some pretty big differences in agricultural techniques applied to different wineries. The first growth Bordeaux guys are employing experienced growers at the top of their fields to consider things like harvest time, planting conditions, soil maintenance, etc., these costs do get passed along.

Nvidia driver support is fine, generally speaking. It's just Apple choose not to bundle drivers OOTB in the OS, but it's a trivial install from Nvidia's website. You can drop a brand new 1080ti into an old Mac Pro today and it will work great. Hackintosh users have also taken advantage of this for ages.
Author is pulling per order estimates out of their hat, and seems to have the missed the fact that driver tips reduce the wage Amazon pays the driver until the minimum wage is met.

>It could happen, but from Apple's own announcements it seems like they were worried that the Mac was increasingly marginalized as a platform for AR/VR development, which Tim Cook constantly tells us (for AR at least...) is something he's super excited about for the future of computing.

Because it is. High end AR/VR is exclusively DirectX Wintel 64 based. There's pretty much no exception except for the toy implementation of things like Samsung Gear. Google abandoned Tango, and Daydream is on life support. Apple's ecosystem will remain irrelevant until they release their own hardware.

> the vast majority already lives in daily misery and it won't get better

That daily misery is still likely multiple times better than what it would have been 100 years ago. You may consider it misery compared to your own standard of living, but it's entirely possible that 100 years from now someone may consider your current situation as "misery" as well.

If you asked these people you are referring to whether they would rather continue on as they are or be put out of their "misery", I suspect we both know what the answer would be.

Additionally, I don't think it's any more useful to prioritize comfort of all living people than it is to prioritize advancement of the species as a whole. Focusing on both to greater and lesser degrees is worthwhile in my eyes, and advancing the species to the point we can get off planet and colonize other locations also vitally important in my eyes, as making everyone more comfortable (which is not the same as happier) is pointless if we're extinct in 50 years when we could have prevented that.

I think that the price to the vendor of FBA was not taken into account.

It does not take much research to figure out what Amazon is charging the vendors for Prime under FBA. You can look at the rates for Fulfillment by Amazon online. Remember that Amazon doesn't pay for shipping to their warehouse.

For instance, an $18,1 kg roll of 3d printer filament shipped via FBA nets Amazon about $8 by my calculations. Yes it has to be shipped and fulfilled, which involves taking it off the shelf and adding a shipping label. What are Amazon's costs for shipping/delivering 1kg small packages? Far less than $8.
It's fundamentally the responsibility of the FDA to regulate "definitive claims that a compound is safe", whereas the standard for approval for use in a clinical trial is a bit different.
Well basically framasoft is a mature community (created 17 years ago) around free software.

First, they were just a portal (https://framasoft.org/) listing good FOSS you could download for windows and a forum to help each other.

It was the best, most stable and reliable source for that kind of info at the time, and lead a lot of people gaining trust in FOSS, trying out Linux, or like me, dig more and start programming.

Eventually they got to write informative and engaged blog posts. They always took the time to explain why and what, and I'm very grateful for that. It's transparent attitude I respect. Because of this they got echoed by framous voices such as Tristan Nitot (from Mozilla at the time) and Sebsauvage (pretty much the most famous nerd blog in the country).

Among their projects, they made the "portable" versions of free software quite popular, to the extend of creating a USB key where you could store your fav stuff (OOo, Firefox, vlc, etc) and carry a decent working environment anywhere you went, with a launcher on the systray.

Then they got involved politically, especially against the DADVSI law in France. They also teamed up with "la quadrature du net", a quite tenacious group trying to defend the free Web (that teamed up with wikimedia :)). The impressive feat here is the fact they are a small team, with very low budget, but yet managed to involve the "Conseil d'Etat" and the "Conseil constutionnel". I like the fact they did it every time in a formal, respectful manner. In politics, it's quite hard to do.

The last accomplishment of framasoft is to be alive. It's all about the constant work they've done, again and again, as they didn't have major actors to help them or a big source of income.

Today they host a load of open source web services to offer alternative to google agenda, google doc, dropbox, twitter, etc. In total 27 ranging from doodle clones to pastebins. The service are not as good as the original ones, but they work damn well and are free, using open formats.

I make sure I donate to them once in a while even if I don't go to their site that much anymore. But I do use their agenda, syncing it on thunderbird and my android phone.

I unashamedly think that progress in many fields has occurred, is a good thing, and that we should expect more of it!

However we don't get there by trying to change things, per se. (Only people who think they already have the answers do that.) Rather progress comes from trying to understand things as they are. Specifically from understanding the problems better.

For example, if we understood exactly why people eat too much, exactly why the dozen or so excellent fusion projects out there haven't yet succeeded, exactly why people go to church, then a lot of progress would happen spontaneously.
The lockers are amazing. If you live in an apartment building, the leasing offices which sign for packages are often only open during business hours. If you live in a house, there's a good chance that someone grabs your package off your porch.

So what do you do if you need a strip of LEDs for a project that you're putting together by this weekend and you don't have the right hours open in your schedule? (Or [insert random product here]?)

Just have it show up at the supermarket/drug store/gas station in a couple of days. Easy.

It's also cool that the apartment buildings can install the lockers and use them for packages which Amazon never touches, for the whole 'business hours' problem. But as Amazon's programs for offering free shipping to 3rd-party sellers are making it more of an 'Everything Store' by the day...well, it'll definitely be interesting to see what happens.
Usually you don't use maven deps directly. You have a registry in your company that caches maven packages for you and runs vulnerability scans on the binary. So the binaries you end up using are "tested" internally.

Is that how people use NPM?

Also maven central does NOT support unpublishing of binaries. So if you have version 1.2 of something and you have scanned it once for vulnerabilities, it should always be the correct one. Nobody can publish again 1.2 in the central repo

I definitely understand your discomfort! That's not something you should have to do if you don't like it.

I'm curious though, what happens if instead of reading the sentence like "back in Roman times, you read it like this:"

In rural India, it's typical for people to sit side-by-side and have a chat while doing your business. Sometimes they don't bother with cubicles there.

Or, maybe:

Wildfire firefighters, while on a line, typically squat side-by-side while doing their business. No cubicles in the wilderness.

If you don't think of it like a generational difference, and instead a cultural one, what are your thoughts? I only ask because I used to feel the same way until I witnessed #2. Sometimes it's just a mindset change, or cultural difference.

I don't know how you get to the "New communities will form. New services will thrive" part of your argument. I agree there is a potentially positive outcome to a rejection of centralized social media, but this legislation will have the opposite effect. It will have a chilling effect that will push against the formation of new communities.

When the established, deep-pocketed players start making these kinds of decisions out of fear of prosecution, how is this going to effect the small/new players? New communities won't be able to effectively monitor and filter their content, and won't have the resources to defend themselves in court. At best "that stuff" will move to sketchy and ephemeral locations similar to file sharing "pirate" sties. At worse your web 3.0 will consist of nothing but "PG, corporate sanctioned mass market internet".
CUDA support is pretty critical for a lot of media production. I'm thankful that official support is here.

Except follower counts motivate active users to stay on Twitter. For some people, Twitter is a social game and follower counts are the score.
No, I don't see anything that says provoking others into a debate is the only means of conversation, just one possible way of prompting a discussion. I imagine a straightforward discussion as your described is the norm, and this could be one case where they were provocative and so was selected to be leaked. But I agree with your second point that this does not appear to be such a case.

The original Xbox was way ahead of the other media centers I knew of at the time (2004-2010,roughly):
* CD/DVD player
* upgradeable HDD
* 1080i output (though I mostly used RCA connectors, and I don't think you can decode 720p+ with it)
* quite cheap compared to a fully fledged computer
* trough XBMC, integrated games library management, with native and emulated titles
* and of course, the plethora of add-ons and protocols Kodi supports to this day

And though it was big and heavy, it had an integrated PSU.

This was before raspberry pi was a thing, mind you. The alternatives were expensive (~€200) hard disk enclosures that couldn't do a fourth of this. I would have kept on using if it wasn't for its inability to cope with HD formats, and wouldn't be surprised to learn that it helped to promote the console quite a bit.

I love yerba mate. My family traveled to Argentina when I was a kid and I remember we were delayed for about 4 hours before our flight back home late in the night. I kept making myself yerba mate teas while the lounge had the movie Screamers playing on an old CRT tv. It was foundationally terrifying to a deeply-wired and awake 10 year old kid.

As a teenager I found a seller selling it on Amazon in bulk, I bought 3 kilos of it and my friends all joked that I was buying 'kilos from South America', but that tea lasted me years.

As an adult I found that brewing it in a drip coffee maker seemed to pull out more of the chemicals that woke you up and I had a period of my college years where my grades shot up from how productive I got.

Exactly. Even moreso, he made me realize there was nothing to fear. This "what's the worse that could happen, and how must I react" mindset has carried across to so many things for me.

What's the worse that could happen if someone walks in on my taking a dump? Well... I guess they'll have seen me taking a dump! And I'll tell them to leave!

What's the worse that could happen in this cold call? Well, I guess he could call me an asshole and hangup, and I'll make another call!

What's the worse that could happen if I ask for a raise? I get told no, and continue on with my day!

I think he means indirectly sell, which is kinda true. By letting the CA scandal happen, they seriously sold a lot of data. Not what they really wanted to do, but their reckless policies and vague morality standard caused that.

Also, nothing changes the fact that Facebook is clearly harmful to the society in important ways, according to various researches. And they do not care about this fundamental issue, they just want more users and more profit.
"Analysis" is a pretty bold word for what is in that article. And even there, they mention only 16 launches out of the 18 they achieved that year. That implies significantly more profit than in that article, whose entire analysis relies on, in its own words, "just a guess."

The limited information we have is that SpaceX is significantly profitable (their fairing recovery, Raptor, BFR, and potentially even parts of the satellite constellation efforts are funded out of their profits). They have one production line and are launching 18 times per year. Their nearest competitor is ULA, with 3 product lines (Delta IV Heavy, Delta II, and Atlas V) and with half as many annual launches and with no capability to reuse. That implies SpaceX's margin can be far greater than their competitors, the opposite of your guess.

In rocket launch, your profitability is determined primarily by your launch rate and your number of product lines as there are a lot of fixed costs for maintaining launch pads and manufacturing lines. SpaceX is doing extremely well on both fronts.
It still possible for creators to get paid without built-in monetization. Sponsorships, patreon, etc.

Agencies will emerge to represent popular YouTubers who move to other platforms if there is sufficient advertiser demand for the (presumably sizable) audience drawn to the content.

In fact, it's probably better to decouple monetization from distribution, at least initially. It's another layer on top. We are just beginning to standardize social protocols, let's let them develop naturally.

> in that it follow's C's spirit of simplicity and clarity at the expense of power and expressiveness

Wow, I strongly feel the opposite about C. It is hardly simple or clear - understanding what your code will do after the compiler's done with it seems almost impossible, reasoning about runtime behavior similarly so. The complexity involved in managing memory, etc, is so significant.

But it is extremely powerful.

I see go as being extremely simple, but also very weak in terms for expressiveness, relying on the runtime for memory and concurrency management.

I agree that Rust has more in common with C++.
