Nor would I characterize them as "enterprisey," especially .NET. .NET is extremely accessible and .NET Core has virtually no barrier to entry--from tooling to supported languages to supported OSes. This meme needs to die.
Another conclusion was that a tiered subscription model that withholds life-saving information is a business I never want to be in. El Faro subscribed to the Bon Voyage System for weather updates, but they didn't subscribe to the routing guidance and always received six hour-old information. The stale data is a critical part of this story.

This is somewhat related, although embedded here means embedding interpreted WASM into a CLI application.

Similar method might be doable on an MCU.

Then there's "WebAssembly interpreter in C":

Looks like it might be good enough for implementing WASM "scripting" support in smallish environments.

Facebook Announces New Terms and Data Policy
A reason why we SHOULDN'T unionize. It means that workers could potentially be politicized and forced to be a part of things that they don't believe in. Maybe right now we may agree with not militarizing our company, but what if the union starts supporting ideas that you're fundamentally against?
The author is negating some concepts but not others, which is inconsistent, true.

But nihilism cannot be advanced as a universal philosophy, as it represents pure negation, and universal negation is impossible.

In practice, nihilism is about the selective negation of concepts or bodies of thought, not as an end in itself but to open up new possible lines of reasoning.

> Every business has its founding DNA. Real corporate change is rare, especially when the same leaders remain in charge. In Facebook’s case, we are not speaking of a few missteps here and there, the misbehavior of a few aberrant employees. The problems are central and structural, the predicted consequences of its business model. From the day it first sought revenue, Facebook prioritized growth over any other possible goal, maximizing the harvest of data and human attention. Its promises to investors have demanded an ever-improving ability to spy on and manipulate large populations of people. Facebook, at its core, is a surveillance machine, and to expect that to change is misplaced optimism.

This observation also would also likely apply to a hypothetical Facebook that offered user subscriptions:

> One thing I’ve observed with Google over the years is that it is institutionally so used to its ‘customers’ actually being its products that when it gets into businesses where it actually has customers it really has little sense of how to deal with them.

Google's "customer service" is automated and unstaffed. When they're used to doing it that way, why reduce margins to staff a call center for the paying customers? Treat the paying customers and ad-watching users alike. Likewise, when you've built a mechanism to monetize user data, and you're used to running your business off it, why shut it all off for the few that pay you? It's "leaving money on the table." Keep it on, but maybe tone it down a little, and make even more money. To resist these temptations requires a strong culture that Facebook obviously does not have.
I know this from personal experience to be fact.
Not a FB user here, but with all this bad press going non stop, I start to wonder how can I figure out who makes money on FB stock going down?

Broken glass fallacy. Just because government and military funded some technology does not mean that technology would not be in an advanced state otherwise. Especially if you consider the countless failures and unnecessary excessive spending that took the resources indirectly from people and inventors. Besides brains that worked for military and government funded projects would perhaps find much better things to work on otherwise.
> Youtube is not infrastructure;

At this point it should be to hard to argue that YouTube is infrastructure.

Same as railway tracks, same as water pipes.

You might lay your own but most societies have made rules to make sure we don't need that and can instead use the exiting tracks and pipes.

That might soon happen to YouTube and others if they aren't careful.
Comparing Spotify to other streaming services, obviously.

Apple music is basically a no-show in Europe and Asia.

And those numbers are only paid subs. Spotify has a ton of free, ad-listening users.
The great thing about YouTube is precisely that, in theory at least before questionable policies are applied, ANYONE can publish their video to the world and monetize accordingly. Understandable that anything less than standard "common carrier" conventions are expected by producers, and seemingly arbitrary/bigoted restrictions are distressing.

"Shouldn't exist" implies others having undue power over the destiny of others. You may not like certain content, but none of your business deciding that others shouldn't see it (beyond the likes of child porn). If what one does is sufficiently valuable to others, enjoy the career.

And the murderer has enough going against her legitimately (starting with being a murderer) without disparaging her looks. Not everyone is blessed with something better than "resting bitch face".

The doomsday clock is a human institution of scientists, though hardly scientific. They see it as their duty to raise alarms. But ask yourself- are we really closer to civilization ending Doomsday than at the height of the Cold War?
Yes that's it. You write a caching service, we run it all over the world. That's probably worth its own article.
It sounds like our experiences were similar; I was very anti-process, but now see the value.

I read about a really interesting concept - "the null process" [0] - recently. The idea is that there is always a set way of doing things (a process) whether it's documented or not.

It ceases to be a strawman when it's on a sign held by protestors acting in good faith[1].

At the end of the day, these stances, even the "moderate" ones you mention, are irreconcilable all the way down to first principles. If you are for gun control, you are necessarily for measures that will restrict the right to bear arms as it is recognized today, some more, some less, but restrictions on the right all the same.

There's no real evading that.

Seems safe to assume those two tugboats cost a hell of a lot less than this accident and the wrongful death suits, not to mention the unnecessary fatalities.
Thanks for this. I had no clue this was a option. Just ordered one. And in my apartment the sink is right next to the toilet and the hot water line is exposed for the sink. So it should be easy enough to make it warm.
Counter point: I have a 2017 Pro with the Touch Bar, and it's pretty nice. I got used to the escape key in a couple of days, and I've found that it tends to keep me away from the trackpad more. Some of the UI on it is great – trimming clips in Quicktime feels lovely, and scoping searches in Dash. Some of it isn't as useful, like tab switching in Safari, but I never find that it gets in the way at all.

Honestly I'm not sure what problems people are generally having with it.
> The concept of natural rights merely means that by our nature we have rights.

The Greeks may have had a concept of natural rights separate from their being endowed by a Creator, but that is not the same concept of natural rights that John Locke proposed and which inspired the American Founding Fathers, leading to posts from Americans like the one we see above. Advocacy for that school repeatedly cites the existence of a Creator.
While lant or leint seems to have been a real thing, either it was very rare in medieval times and later, or there was a more common word for it. It doesn't appear in Google Ngrams at all. (Neither does "old wash", the more common synonym from Addy's book.)
Who is the threat to invade the United States? Last time I checked, Canada and Mexico are pretty peaceful Nations and Russia is in charge of our current president.
The problem is the name. Names matter.
1. Has anyone done investigative work on the passengers of this flight and their subsequent health status? How many visited a doctor with symptoms similar to the crew? Were there any fatalities among the passengers in the weeks following the flight?

2. How many years away would you estimate the the commercial aviation industry is from avoiding this type of toxic air problem? Are newer aircraft still susceptible to air quality issues like this? Does a radically new approach such as solar powered flight reduce these issues?
That is why I qualified it as a Fermi estimate. I was guessing randomly.

It is difficult for me to imagine its utility as a desk reference, but it is certainly just as rich and unusual a piece of literature as its reputation suggests.

Hofstadter's 2007 book "I Am A Strange Loop" develops one of GEB's themes in more depth. It's written in a more straightforward style than GEB, so it's less remarkable as a reading experience, but its perspective has stuck with me in a pretty fundamental way, so I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed GEB and wants to dig further into the puzzle of consciousness.
Does it have to be a business model? Couldn't we search for ways to support the costs of federated.distributed platforms, as used to be the case with NNTP?
No worries. I moved your comment to the other thread.
And yet if your goal is to learn about OO programming from the concepts of its OO model, then either language is good and Ruby is more convenient.

On the other hand if your intent is to learn about its collection classes, what MVC looked like in its original inspiration, and so on, then you should learn Smalltalk.

There is more to learn than any of us has time for. If you know what you hope to get out of learning something like X, then you should pick the most convenient X around to learn it.

So, no, your “only one” is not accurate.
That is actually pretty scary from a security perspective because of SSRF attacks. Basically if I can get your service to make an HTTP request on my behalf then I can get at your secrets.

Suppose you have a service that fetches snippets from user pasted links (like Slack does). All I have to do is paste a link of "http://localhost:5000?key=my-api" and your server would return a snippet containing the secret.

Thats why Google Cloud and others require a special header to be set. Hopefully Odin does the same?

Like others pointed out, the "natural state" is even further from ideal. I'm not an expert on cryptography at all, but I think signatures would help in certain situations (and /u/jonahhorowitz brings this up above me). More advanced media - the next step beyond videos, maybe involving 3D or VR - would make fabrication harder. I'm sure there are solutions out there.

To add one other note, HP ammo has the additional (generally beneficial) property of penetrating significantly less than something like FMJ. Through its design it imparts the bulk of its kinetic energy on the first obstacle it hits, which greatly reduces the chances of it doing damage to something unintended.
> the US didn't meet the USSR in Berlin

As far as I know, no? The US was quite far from Berlin by the end of the war, and did not engage the USSR in battle for territorial control of Germany.

Surely not "dozens", but was there even one? The other Allies essentially handed Poland over to Stalin.
Engineers Must Speak to Users Too
Cost of bidets are coming down a lot with more domestic manufacturers. At $200-300 for a Toto-like attachment I upgraded all of my toilets. It's hard to go back once you are used to it.
Also plenty of optimizations happen at different layers than those effected by compilation flags. Constant folding, smarter register spilling, improved implementation strategies (e.g. virtual function tables). These are all techniques that still happen at -O0.

Yes -- the headline of this post does not accurately convey how extreme this move was. It should have read "abruptly shut down".
Can you explain the mechanics of that happening? Do you have any personal experience of unionized work?

Employees having more of a say about what they work on though collective bargaining, resulting in employees having less of a say on what they work on, seems unlikely to me.

Hope no one uses that sink beside you. A "Biffy" toilet attachment is very convenient to install, inexpensive, and potentially a lot more considerate to others.
I bet that number gets a lot bigger if you're willing to consider donations from the defense industry as well. I seem to remember Raytheon and Lockheed Martin's logos displayed on the donors wall in the Huang Engineering Building at Stanford.
No, it actually is the amount of eyeballs to analyze drone footage. They literally have so much footage feeding in that they can no longer review it with humans. This tech is designed to make the surveillance dragnet feeding into military decisions more automated and efficient.
I remember when I was trying to advertise my websites in newspapers back in the day and they "didn't allow advertisements for websites." This and all the other crypto bans (Facebook ads, Google ads, etc.) remind me of that- old regimes afraid of new better competition that aims to remove/replace them or make them less relevant. The future will be decentralized.

Oh, damn, I mixed up the DK population with the world population. Just makes the number more incredible. :)

Anyway, it is really Peter paying Paul. It is just centralized and in a stable currency, with all the benefits that entail, such as instant execution, ease of use and predictable outcome. It of course also has the downside: There are gate keepers, in the form of Danske Bank and other banks involved.

Bitcoin is also Peter paying Paul, but decentralized/p2p. And, frankly, this is its Achilles heel as much as it is its greatest feature.

You might be misunderstanding how MobilePay engaged with payment cards. Things have changed a bit since the start, but MobilePay originally asked for your dankort info to extract bank account information. It performed direct bank transfers, screwing Nets over for transaction fees (anything screwing over Nets is good for mankind).

However, because people demanded the support, "real" credit cards was later added (not sure if only for shopping), but they're likely letting stores eat the fees. Thus, they probably let the store pick whether they support cards that cost them fees. In general, the MobilePay used for stores is very different in function from the one used between users.

(I was in fintech with companies like Nets as client when MobilePay launched, but that is not the case anymore, so my info may be out of date.)
I always thought these rate limits often to be ridiculous. Same applies to Twitter -- they have quite a restrictive API with few opportunities to get the query rate increased.

oh, ok. So the presence of "authorized" in the response email brings up the question of routes in general being authorized by corporate. It isn't an order to go directly to San Juan.
That makes sense, but it would still be a huge improvement to eliminate gaps everywhere but the floor. The cost argument makes sense, but it doesn’t explain why it’s ubiquitous in the US but not in Europe, since the cost-saving incentive should be roughly the same in both regions.

Perhaps it started in the US because of safety or puritanism, but has now simply become a de facto standard in the US building industry. I doubt most building developers still think about safety or puritanism and specifically request this type of bathroom walls.
The comments by the board members on pages 256-259 discuss this as well. The second statement is interesting in particular as it talks about the differences in crew hierarchy between aviation and maritime.
