BTW I think I would love a "VPN" (the term itself is misused massively, oftentimes it is just a proxy) accessed via WebRTC so it would be harder for the men in the middle to tell whether I am using a "VPN" or just calling somebody. Perhaps people in countries like China could make great use of such a thing too.
You have a point, but other large countries don't manage to pollute their environment anywhere near as badly, except for possibly India. For example: https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http...
Maybe try to find tech groups and hacker spaces around you. Here in Europe we have the Chaos Computer Club, there's probably equivalents where you live. Or join hackathons. I've always found it easy to connect to people at places like these and you might find someone who can guide you a bit.
> You seriously can't imagine any uses for an online marketplace that aren't illegal??

> Have you bought or sold anything online in the last week? Those things could probably be done on OpenBazaar.

But will they? I don't think that's a fair summary of the criticism. There are already much more convenient alternatives for legally selling goods and services, using currency that's actually effectively currency, without using some command line tool to run a node. I think there are going to be three types of users: 1) people that are using it out mostly out of interest of the technology, 2) people to whom the platform is ideologically interesting i.e. anti-government types, libertarians, anti-corporate types etc., and 3) users that actually benefit from the anonymity and lack of censorship by selling illegal goods or completely avoiding taxes.

I wouldn't be surprised if the last category eventually grows much bigger than the former two. I only hope that it will be mostly illegal goods that don't harm really anyone, like cheap counterfeit consumer crap.
It gets better. The intermediate layer is controlled entirely by Ripple and closed source. The coin only exists to provide 'liquidity' and improve confidence from financial institutions. In essence, Ripple is just a payment processor riding on the crypto hype and the coin is simply an unregulated stock. This is the latest attempt to pump prices and generate PR. No one makes money when prices are stable.

(If anyone reading this likes their products, that's fine. Just realize what you're getting into first. It's actually a very entertaining currency to watch from the sidelines.)
"He" figured this out, or some of the hundreds of engineers and scientists employed by him in an entirely separate enterprise figured it out?
"Instead of Zuckerberg, Facebook said it would send either its Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer or Chief Product Officer Chris Cox, to appear in front of U.K. lawmakers.

On Wednesday, Collins said he accepted the offer of evidence from Cox, and suggested the Facebook executive answer U.K. lawmakers' questions on April 24.

"However, given the seriousness of these issues we still believe that Mark Zuckerberg himself is the right person to give evidence," he said in a letter to Rebecca Stimson, Facebook's head of public policy.

"Mr Zuckerberg has stated in interviews that if he is the right person to appear, he will appear. He appears to have acted on this belief with respect to appearing before Congress. We now request confirmation as to whether he will make the same decision for us."

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/28/facebook-ceo-mark-zuckerberg...

"Facebook wont confirm whether CEO Mark Zuckerberg will testify before Congress, even though he already said he was open to it.

...

Officially, Facebook says that it is still undecided, and a spokesperson declined to confirm CNNs story, which states Zuckerberg has come to terms with the fact that he will have to testify before Congress within a matter of weeks, and Facebook is currently planning the strategy for his testimony."

"Subsequent to the launch of this market and on or before June 30, 2018, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg shall testify in person, under subpoena or otherwise, before an open hearing of any committee or subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives or U.S. Senate. A hearing officially described by such a committee as "open in a closed space" and/or otherwise not accessible by the public or press in a manner typical for an open hearing will not qualify as an open hearing.

Should Mr. Zuckerberg appear at such a hearing, but decline to answer any and all substantive questions asked by committee members upon invoking his 5th Amendment rights, this market will resolve as No, whether or not Mr. Zuckerberg submits a sworn statement or reads all or part of such statement aloud during the hearing."

The charitable way to put that would have been "I don't see how the features you listed are related to to the first two bullet points".

I might have misunderstood some technical nuance in the article but I could honestly use the exactly same statements as in the first two bullet points to describe my workflow with VS.

This is not with Git though, so that might complexify the process. Maybe someone who is working with Git repos using a Visual Studio integrated tool can comment on this detail.

Fast M.2 SSDs (e.g. Samsung PRO series) are almost as expensive as Apple's proprietary SSD that you can find on the market. It's a fair point that one cannot opt for cheaper M.2 SSDs and has to either settle for the very high end or cheap SATA.
Because you can have dark matter in a hot gas cluster which means it should heat up and be observable by its radiation spectrum. Also note dark matter isn’t black like normal matter in the absence of light. It’s literally transparent because it doesn’t interact with light.
Not specifically, more DIY inland sea.

I think the big problem is motivation: we have heaps of arable land, and people are increasingly concentrated in cities.

EDIT thanks for the headsup, there's quite a bit online about it. I had this idea pre-internet, but haven't had the idea of googling it. IANA millennial, AMA (but I won't know).
> I'd think the author would argue that these racist biases should and could have been caught before going into production -- i.e. it doesn't have to be an inevitable cycle of ad hoc public shaming and repentance.

They could have caught more cases before going to production - that's a truism. But when X number of cases get "fixed", there are other N*X cases/other communities/other minorities that won't, and there will be ad hoc public shaming that will caught enough attention to become relevant, and so on. Because the number of things that offend at least somebody is infinite.

My point is that there is no absolute way to tell what's offensive and what isn't - it's all subjective. There is no perfect way to fix them all - not even in theory, because there are conflicting priorities - and public outrage serves as an imperfect way to prioritize the most inter-subjectively blatant. Are there other ways? Sure, but they won't stop the periodic public outrage.
I wonder if anyone else has tried that. Ever tried poking that idea in the general direction of some demosceners?
A sad and stupid zero-sum game wasting both talent and electricity.
This will date me but at one time Digg had a section that ranked how influential of a user you were on their platform. There was a superstar who used the alias "MrBabyMan" that ruled the roost.

I was in the top 100 users back in those days. I loved their platform. It's a shame what they did with it. It is my opinion that Reddit has gotten away with a terrible UI compared to what Digg once had.

The trouble with 'just switching branches' is that it quickly gets very complicated, if not impossible, without either checking in incomplete code or stashing it.
Do I sense a bit of sarcasm regarding longevity of JS frameworks here?

As other commenters say, if you want results, choose whatever stack you are most productive with.

As you say 'basic' web app: I'd recommend using Firebase, if you are comfortable with the vendor lock-in. For auth, database and deployment it doesn't get much simpler than this.

I'm probably with you on this but there is an environmental advantage to herbicide tolerant crops (GMO or not). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5033196/

Also indoor farming/hydroponics is great for crops that are mainly water (think tomato or lettuce) but much less so for staple calorie crops like corn or wheat.
Exactly. Side question: If you really believe something, do you feel the need to rationalize it?

Entirely depends on what you're building. If it's crazy complex go native now. Super complex web apps are as the rarest of the rare, and damn near impossible. Like a handful ever, rare. That's not to be said that it cannot be done. If it's medium to basic, use a framework like Vue or Preact and a VDOM. Everything will stem from that. Node.JS is a given, maybe Go, but all other decisions depend on what you are building.
Well, you're definitely not alone in making frustrating and, in my opinion, rather pointless comments where you basically just pat yourself on the back for 'having known all a long'.

It often takes time for issues that 'were known' to properly get the attention they deserve, and often they never get that attention. When they do, why not celebrate that and work towards keeping attention on these issues?

If anything, 'having known all along', which is what I think is the case for most of us here on HN, and yet these things only being properly discussed now, should perhaps provoke some serious introspection and discussion about our possible inaction, laziness, or even outright complicity.

But yes, let's all shake our head and circlejerk over how much more informed we are instead!

EDIT: apologies for being too harsh. I just got tired of a variation of this comment being peppered throughout each of the many recent FB articles. I do understand and share the frustration of having 'raised the alarm' for years to no effect.
Relax. It's just, like, my opinion man.
Desalination was mentioned, and it could conceivably run during the sunlight hours only, storing water for the night.

I would imagine that they will build _some_ storage as well in the coming 12 years, or I will be very disappoint.

You dont need a hw mod, all you need is an Android phone with a sdcard slot and the option to do raw read/write to the embedded flash from the bootloader as you WILL fuck up many times during experimentation. Havent tried with qualcomm stuff, but successfully converted my Mediatek-based CAT B15Q to sdcard-only.

All you need to modify is /etc/fstab, /init.rc (or, in some cases, /init.XYZ.rc), split the sdcard into three partitions (OS, /data, /sdcard), copy the existing partitions from flash to the sdcard et voila.
Ah, one little slip of the pen and everything changes. It's more like 3.6 * 10^16 meters.
My point regarding patents was that these questions do not get asked (or not with such ferocity) of my colleagues in biomedicine. Most people seem ok with medical researchers having patents but not plant/agricultural research.

I do not think malnutrition is a technological problem, but it does have a technological solution, or rather, technology is a part of the solution.
It is if you think about it from a patents and licensing perspective. However I will try to take another spin to it which might be something they are trying to do without actually saying it.

They implement all the H.266 JVET ideas and tools into xvc. Not every one will make it into the standard due to speed, politics or whatever. Once the H.266 has been standardise, they now have a decent working encoder they could turn on the the features are in JVET and be the first JVET encoder on the market.

The JVET working group knows there is a threat in Royalty free codec like AV1. So I am hoping they take the patents and cost into account. But given how Qualcomm, Ericsson, Sharp has been acting in HEVC i am not entirely sure it will be smooth. Or if JVET has a future at all.
An example of: No pain, no gain.

Given the rate at which SpaceX has been improving their line-up you can't really do a 1:1 comparison between platforms that are essentially static and what SpaceX has been up to.

And over time their failure rate has been dropping steadily, since 1/1/2017 they've launched about half of all F9s and all have worked perfectly. It's gotten to the point where the press will crow 'failure' if they don't manage to land the first stage on the barge, which is apples-to-oranges with the rest of the industry, who are - rightly - getting seriously worried.
thanks for empathizing! I am very happy with my future research direction though :)
Desalination using reverse osmosis is just 6kwh/m3. It means 67 cubic km of water per year. Which is about as much water withdrawal as all of Russia. They can't possibly practically use that much water. It will be 10% of India's (world top), or 14% of U.S.' water use.
This would be my answer every month ( after you this time ;))
The box-and-arrows paradigm for systems, built in the 50s and enjoying popularity briefly in the 80s, is overrated, and has been outmoded by the likes of complexity theory. This is due to the fact that box-and-arrows systems like those made by Club of Rome to predict civilizational collapse carry strong assumptions as to the nature and structure of underlying variables and as such become very brittle as the size of the system scales. The norm is not the closed-loop circuit models that initially inspired systems thinking, but open-loop energetic models where any structural element is more like a rarified pattern than an ontological atom.

The result is a discipline that has transformed into managing uncertain outcomes in large heterogeneous models, i.e. complexity theory, rather than reducing everything to balls-and-sticks. Meadows was famous for devising "12 basic places to intervene in a system", nowadays the focus is on hedging bets adequately such that interventions don't catastrophically fuck up.

That said, some of the basic tooling is still flexible enough for basic business problems and some of the old gems are able to explain important concepts found in other fields without getting bogged down in the math.

https://www.amazon.com/Early-Retirement-Extreme-Philosophica... is my favourite, it's not about retirement, it's about using systems thinking to devise a robust lifestyle.

https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-General-Systems-Thinking... will make a good complement to Meadows and should give you a calculus to rigorously think of systems with.

https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Cybernetics-W-Ross-Ashby... for its explanation on entropy, I mean requisite diversity, which will you give you an approximate mental quantity of how "powerful" any given system is.

https://www.amazon.com/Sciences-Artificial-Herbert-Simon/dp/... and https://www.amazon.com/Design-Rules-Vol-Power-Modularity/dp/... I haven't read either of these, but Herb Simon is extremely influential and has great thoughts on the notion of system hierarchies (nearly-decomposable systems is a great concept for design). The second book is about the properties of modular systems, which will help grok the reasoning behind a lot of refactoring techniques.

Good luck.

You're like the hospital janitor complaining that the doctor never wipes the floor. He's just off somewhere "looking smart".

... do you realise how ridiculous this sounds?

Let me say that I get your point of view: I know of the existence of smart and educated people who are lazy, presumptious, have a superiority complex, talk down on everyone and/or are fakes.

Do you understand my point of view though? Are you aware that people exist who are less educated people and who can't grasp that valuable complex things exist which requiring specialized knowledge, and that those less educated people being unaware of the existence of such things automatically and wrongly assume that their specialists are fakes?

Just looking at cars - the assembly quality of Japanese cars(Toyotas especially) lags far behind even French cars, and that's saying something. They are extremely robust mechanically(engine/transmission/suspension/drivetrain) but in a cold climate a Toyota will rust through 10x quicker than a Peugeot will, with Japanese cars using thin, minimal welds and little to no rust protection, plus in terms of panel gaps they are again far behind European cars. There certainly is attention to detail, just not in every aspect of car building.

There is something that doesn't ring completely true about this. While I agree coding is not about coming up with some ninja recursive one line function that solves all the problems, reducing it to a simple matter of organization is not quite right either. Yes it is about organization, but there is a component of wizardry too. It takes a lot of intelligence, skill, experience and talent to be able to identify and model the fundamental relationships between all the parts in the simplest possible way. It's what separates seniors from juniors. The top guys do the tricky work of architecting and modeling the system, while the juniors fill it in until enough new information is revealed for the seniors to improve/change/update it as needed.
It is a concern even for Netflix. The number only starts to make sense assuming a 30% bitrate reduction and 5x speed encoding time. This means the current encoder needs to speed up anywhere from 50x to 500x to get to that point.

Imagine if Netflix spends 1M on encoding, even 5x is 4M more, and the current encoder is anywhere from 250M to 2.5B more. This is not a small sum of money.

I think before they talk about speed up, they just need to iron out all the bugs and bitstream freeze before we speak.
fq_codel alone doesn't solve buffer bloat. There are still huge buffers upstream. You need to combine it with local rate limiting so you can control the buffer in your local home router. fq_codel/cake work by looking at time a packet spent in a local queue. If you don't rate limit locally, then your local queue is always empty and everything queues upstream. Modern routers with things like "Dynamic QOS" that use fq_codel all require providing downstream/upstream values. This is way simpler than more traditional qos, but it's still a barrier to wide spread adoption.
