Wouldn't be surprised. Something akin to Facebook's "short status in large text on a colorful background". Bummer for me though, the lack of that kind of content is the single main reason I like Instagram.

Making you come up with a photo worth sharing added enough friction to posting that people slowed down and only posted when they had something to post. As compared to Facebook where you can just be constantly status updating and sharing links, etc.

The one thing that I want it to do is take the big bursts of activity from a single user and collapse them into 1-2 posts and then "Expand 18 more posts from Bob...", but I'm not holding my breath. More likely they'll try for a fancy machine learning solution that's less predictable from a user perspective, but probably sells more ads because I'm scrolling through it trying to find where it put something.
I think scalable income is a more useful concept than passive income. What I mean by scalable income is when you can increase your income by investing more capital, but keeping time commitment and effort at the same level. In my view purely passive income is either some instance of rent-seeking, or simple risk-free return on economic growth. But even those require a minimal level of effort.

I love how the first thing complained about was the use of C++ for the project. Compared to the lack of sane source control and release management, inexperience of the team, dozens of layers of abstraction, management bureaucracy, toxic culture, basic facilities like toilets being inoperative...

I think using C++ was literally the least of their concerns.
>Diskeeper Lite was what I had in mind. It didn't defrag the directories.

And in any case was not built-in.

In Windows 2000 the built-in defragger was actually a "stripped down" version of Diskkeeper, maybe you are confusing NT 4.0 with Windows 2000?

Oxford actually has one course on EdX: https://www.edx.org/school/oxfordx

any additional satellite capacity is good, but that's comparing apples to oranges. the capacity of any satellite/RF based system will be significantly less than submarine fiber. the capacity of one singlemode strand of fiber is measured in the hundreds of terahertz.

Just one strand can support a ridiculous number (40+) of 100/200/400 GbE, coherent modulated signals in a DWDM bandplan.

If I remember correctly, making a collect call through your telephone company required talking to an actual operator who would set up the call and inform the receiving party of who was calling. The 800 number collect call services that eventually sprung up all used automated systems and they were perfect for this kind of abuse. You had about ten seconds to blurt out your message before the recording would stop.

I used to ride the Greyhound to visit my dad on weekends, and it would stop at a truckstop about ninety minutes away from my destination. At first I had to carry a pile of quarters to make the long distance payphone call to let him know I was on my way, until we finally figured out I could just blurt "Dad I'm in town xyz, be there in 90" instead of my name. Saved me a buck fifty or so every trip.
That's very anecdotal and a narrow sample size at that.
> I worded this badly. This is optional on a case by case basis, i.e. there's a cost-benefit to using each 3rd-party, and this burden is worth considering for each. It's still not a massively onerous burden tbh if you do use a lot of 3rd parties.

I'm up close and personal with a vendor assurance process right now. It's often a non-trivial amount of time for any given vendor.

> I'm sorry but if you're really defending companies with no competent security measures in place, regardless of size, I think you're in the wrong forum here. If you are a commercial entity of any size there should be moral hazard in ignoring security of your users' personal data.

I'm sorry, I worded this badly. I'm saying that small startups have a tendency to prioritize getting a product working and seeing if it's worth investing heavily in before standing up a strong information security unit. You're absolutely, completely, 100% correct that there should be incentives to be very careful with user data.

I think it's possible to see where some people might find the level of expense and expertise required to be appropriately careful somewhat scary. I can even see where some people might decide to not create a social media startup to challenge Facebook because of this fear.

I suppose that is true for smaller sites that don't have their own IP addresses but for larger sites you will be easily able to map it through reverse DNS.
This sounds awfully close to the "why would I care about surveillance, I'm not doing anything wrong" argument. The reason it's important for Facebook to be legally required to protect user data is because you have no choice in being part of that data. You, as an individual, can do quite a bit, but you can't prevent people from sharing their contact books, pictures, and location. With the ubiquity of Facebook, everyone has some sort of footprint on the site.

If the data is valuable and worthy of protection, and you have no ability to provide that protection, then it is reasonable for protection to be required from the layer that is removing the individual's agency.
>An exchange system weights the demand input to market price determination based on the wealth of the individual.

What does this mean? Do you mean that rich people can buy more and so have more impact on overall demand? Or that they can afford to pay more and so cost stabilizes at a higher point than it would otherwise?

Just a quick question for current Phoenix users — how is the multiple monitor performance? By that I mean a situation where I'm going from just the MacBook screen to three monitors on one desk to four monitors on another desk. Will it automatically detect how many monitors are present, without having to resort to hardware-specific configurations? This is a killer feature for me on Hammerspoon, but I much rather script with JS than Lua, out of familiarity.

I'd be interested to know who the unnamed sources that fed the false narrative to Bloomberg and the WSJ about it being a SpaceX problem were. (I think those were the originating news organizations, but I may be remembering that wrong.)

This was a month before the Falcon Heavy launch which had a reasonable chance of a spectacular failure. Priming the public to think of SpaceX as a satellite destroyer and then a high profile failure would have been fantastic for United Launch Alliance.

I think it was pretty clear that SpaceX's customers didn't believe it as a SpaceX problem. Subsequent launches were not delayed pending investigation as they were for legitimate failures.

Or maybe it was just sloppy reporting from some guy shooting off his mouth.

I have had mixed results with the Sigma MC-11 adapter. Some lenses worked OK, and some didn't. I don't have the setup or the resources to do a thorough analysis. I attributed them to the 'slop' in the system - From the focus motor to the mount to the adapter to the AF system and sensor. I was probably unlucky and the +/- tolerances didn't cancel each other out.

Debunking the Buzz Aldrin Alien Story
I think if you can twist your head enough to believe that our current system "at least attempts" (but, by implication, even you seem to agree still fails) to be representative of the people, but also believe that any employee union is a priori unrepresentative, you might be showing some bias. Maybe a lot of it, actually. And it doesn't help that you immediately heap a bunch of strawmen on this hypothetical Google union, either.

Edit: from your original post it also occurs to me you might think union leadership is never elected? But it almost always is (usually by law, in fact).
I had family develop a dependency on Oxycontin. As someone else described, they would snort it for relief. Unfortunately, he passed a year ago due to opioid related reasons. It still hasn't quite hit my father, who also had a similar dependency but has been able to stop using it after a rehab stint.

I don't usually blame problems on a medication, but Oxycontin nearly tore my family apart, as it did countless others. Perdue and its shareholders are complicit in a Great American Tragedy playing out today with Fentanyl and Heroin. I hope they all freeze to death in hell.
Cellphones are far more safe than your computer - especially iPhones. All apps are run in a sandboxed environment and are vetted before being released. Further, the secure enclave is far better at protecting secrets than anything on a typical laptop/desktop machine.
It's a confluence of all of those factors:

- Dropbox demonstrated a reasonably strong market for IPOs, so it's definitely safer for other companies to get in before the first flop.

- There's probably a lot of pressure to go public, seeing as how many of these companies have private for more than a decade [1]

- There's also reason to believe we may see pressure in the equity markets in the near future, especially as the Fed adjusts interest rates.

There is a strong correlation between national average IQ and GDP per worker [0].

>A growing body of research suggests general cognitive ability may be the best predictor of job performance [1].

>Beware of I.Q. tests. Many companies rely on I.Q. tests that are not professionally developed and have not demonstrated that only people with an I.Q. above a certain level can be successful in the job. Before administering any I.Q. test, you should make sure your legal counsel reviews the test, you know who developed it, you understand how it’s being applied and how the results will be used to screen candidates before you administer a test to any employee or applicant! The main issue when administering a pre-employment I.Q. test is, how can the "threshold" you set for hire/not-hire be defended? For example, if you state that an applicant must have an I.Q. of 108, can you demonstrate how an applicant or employee with an I.Q. of 107 is not capable of doing the job but a person with an I.Q. of 108 has what it takes to succeed? This is one important reason why many companies will not use I.Q. tests for pre-employment testing. [2]

Basically, while technically IQ tests are not banned explicitly it's such a high risk legal venture that almost no one does it. Instead, they use other proxies such as credentialism, SAT scores, etc.

I'm sure if a third-party client would contribute to support the maintenance (both financially and in terms of the time and effort investment) he might be open to that, but obviously that's not going to happen.
> I don't use facebook, because I think a free-software based & decentralized social network would be the right way to do social networking, but if the rest of the people want to give away their info, fine by me.

I don't see how a decentralized and free social network wouldn't have any privacy issues. As long as you are putting your information online, it's ripe for attacks. If you have a friend in your decentralized network that uses a malicious app, that app now has access to his/her friends list and thus your information. CA got a ton of data even from users who didn't take their quiz, but rather through friends of people who took the quiz.

The best social network, IMO, is the one you have IRL.

This is a phrasing nitpick; the contents clearly say that they intend to act ethically, and say things about what they think acting ethically means. For example this paragraph:

> We commit to use any influence we obtain over AGI’s deployment to ensure it is used for the benefit of all, and to avoid enabling uses of AI or AGI that harm humanity or unduly concentrate power.
> If you don't think there are differences in skill between doctors just ask a friend or family member who is a doctor which doctors they would not recommend you see.

Having friends and family who work in the medical industry, I get to hear them talk about how every new patient they take on thinks their previous doctor was the worst doctor ever. And then when you talk to the people working at the practice of the previous doctor, they tell the exact same story, except about the doctor at the other practice.

You soon realize opinions don't measure much of anything.

your cards themselves can disallow contactless payment when a chip reader is present. Discover did this to me when they sent me a chip card - I had been using my discover card contactless for a while with android pay, and all of a sudden it stopped working on all new terminals and started saying "insert chip", assuming the terminal had a chip reader in it. I switched to using my visa card with google pay and it continues to work mostly everywhere, even though I have a chip in my visa card as well.

I find I only use google pay when I'm not in a hurry or when I'm very familiar with the specific reader and it has a long track record of working. If I go somewhere new, I always use my card unless I have time and the store isn't busy.
That's a very optimistic view.

It's fairly clear that giving away people's data without any care is unsafe.
Personally I think it's both. We're seeing companies that normally would have gone public (enterprise software like Carbon Black) at the appropriate time, combined with some companies where it makes little sense to go public (Spotify, Snapchat) that I think are cashing in before the bottom drops out.

Carbon Black has nowhere to go but up, they're destroying the AV industry and every security consultant I know is pushing this style of endpoint protection over traditional AV. And they're in the enterprise market, so they can charge big bucks.

Spotify on the other hand is one player in a crowded and competitive market with some huge players who could destroy them in a heartbeat. And even with their exclusives and much bigger subscriber count, they're still struggling to beat much smaller competitors in actual engagement [1] (or at the very least struggling to properly count their streams which seems like a basic requirement). It makes little sense for them to go public when they could just as easily be out of business this time next year.

This suggests that the search for alternative/substitute/new ingredients/recipes isn't a brute force search. Not sure how much I believe that.

The idea of applying principles to cooking didn't work for me, even though it seemed like a reasonable approach to my 10 year old mind. I presume this happens to everyone to some extent, and that's why we have this recipe culture, we have it because it works.

Part of this is that UI toolkits do more and more disgusting things in order to preserve this behavior. Windows allows the foreground window to activate other windows "owned by the same app" so that existing applications don't break. The implementation, for this, of course, is a pile of heuristics [0].

Qt, steadfast in its duty to be as annoying as possible, pretends it is part of the foreground app when you call activate() by calling AttachThreadInput [1].

For those that care about this sort of thing on a regular basis, are there any services that publish cable cuts/large scale outage information? It'd be terribly useful find out about major internet events on a more consistent basis.

I see mentions of "Oracle Internet Intelligence" but not any sort of product behind it. One of their other blog entries mentions Akamai mPulse which is more performance based than outages (though it can be useful).

How to keep track of token news?
We know that the crypto market is volatile and there are so many changes happening every day. There is a lot of news to follow. Soros going into crypto. Founders being arrested (the founders of Centra token have been arrested recently in SF). FINMA publishing guidelines on ICOs. Those events have some influence on the market. And these news come to us from all sorts of places - Facebook feed, reddit, Cointelegraph, etc.

But also news from the teams do - how they are doing, are they following they roadmap, are they communicating with their communities etc. And me & my team thought it would be useful to have that news in one place. So we added to our tool a newsfeed. Once you choose your favourite tokens (but also any other address that is not a token) you'll get news from them. At the moment we've implemented Medium (as that's where the teams usually share bigger updates) & reddit (automatically choosing the most voted posts not to be overflown by a sea of posts). We are thinking of adding more.

What would YOU like to see here?

We are building it for people to use it so your feedback will be super appreciated! If you wanna try it check out www.trivial.co, add some tokens to favorites, add friends or investors you admire to favorites & get your news in one place :) In the end, do you find it useful?
