It feels like this is already a work in progress using Beaker Browser and Dat.

- Beaker lets you browse entire websites (dat archives) and fork them.

- It lets you create and serve your own sites directly from the browser and seed it from a server (like a torrent).

- It lets other sites create templated sites under your name for user generated content.

- Visitors by default temporarily seed your website which may reduce single point of failures, hug of deaths and costs.

With this peer-to-peer torrent-like approach, the web can become distributed again and feel more like a "web". There's still a lot of work left and maybe Beaker itself isn't the best implementation for this idea, but it's a good start.

You sound like a buzzword machine.

A simple RSS feed can easily be hand written. But of course, you don't do that because there are so many mature tools to create or manipulate an XML feed already.

Whereas with jsonfeed there is not much yet because it is so new.

If you can hack JSON, you can hack XML as well. Even programmer novices can do this.

There is an IKEA effect, but it describes something else.

The IKEA effect is a cognitive bias in which consumers place a disproportionately high value on products they partially created.
Not sure about that, I have 20 things open on my desktop none of which are an SPA. I don't think the heavier desktop apps are going away any time soon.

This is not good.
I can't think of a single desktop application that has been made obsolete by a SPA.
There is also a package for R called rcmdr that provides GUI for basic statistical analysis. All your actions, performed in GUI, are stored as an actual .R script. However, I don't personally use it so I can't elaborate more.
Yes true. At the bottom end of the price range it’s not bad.

I prefer these days to eat somewhere I pay afterwards however as the motivation not to serve you a plate of crap is higher.
I dont care about the "model". I only care about code quality and stability on critical tasks. And currently the distributions are becoming more and more chaotic, I think this will bite back, you can try and use some whatever the name paradigms but at the end development is hard and not made only from fun problems to solve, there are lots of annoying and pesky tasks that need to be done. And here the system where everyone is mostly doing what is fun for them has huge disadvantage.

But never mind, time will tell.
It was funny reading that thread and seeing an early post from Drew Houston about a startup called getdropbox he was working on... https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dhouston
Zooko's triangle: Human-meaningful, Secure, Decentralized.

Tendermint provides BFT security in the likes of Bitcoin proof-of-work, except without the mining. It allows for massively replicated public decentralized databases. (e.g. BFT as opposed to Raft's FT). The Tendermint algorithm guarantees that as long as less than 1/3 are malicious, the blockchain will continue to function very well. And if there ever is a double-spend attack, we can figure out who to blame (and it will necessarily be 1/3 of bonded stakeholders).

The human-readable part is relatively simple. You can easily program a name-resolution system using the Cosmos SDK. Using the KVStore implementation there, you can commit the value of a name in the Merkle tree, and get a Merkle proof all the way up to the block-hash. And the block-hash is signed by 2/3 of the validator-set by voting power.

There's more to it than that, but that's the gist of it. Now we can really, really securely know that a name resolves to a certain IP, and know that it would be extremely expensive to attack this system.

NameCoin almost solved it but you need something like this to keep persistent state and provide Merkle proofs: https://github.com/tendermint/iavl . You can with the simple Bitcoin UTXO Merkle tree, but then you can't provide fast updates or revocation easily.

You would verify people's voting credentials and distribute secure keys, it wouldn't just allow anyone to sign up.
They basically decided they weren't going to pay to secure and maintain the data and since GDPR is coming in to effect it makes such a DB a liability to the company.

In which case the appropriate course of action is to simply delete rather than pay some peanuts and act surprised when the DB ends up in the public sphere. I can only commend them. Too many businesses decide to hold on to private identifiable data as though it were a prize bond waiting to mature.
+1 kudos to the Wetherspoons digital team. The app is so good.
Unfortunately removing the 'styling hacks and behavior' has split the pages up into many different components that all interact in quite complex ways. The HTML being 'purer' has not made things simpler at all. Now there are many places rather than just a few where style and functionality can be modified. And that can obscure intent quite quickly. As opposed to <b>this is bold text</b> which any fool (this one included) could understand.

There are obvious benefits to separating layout, style, software and content. But it isn't categorically true that this will always result in something that is easier to understand by a human.

When I ask friends and family who use Facebook daily, privacy and security never come up as pain points. Media is blowing everything out of proportion.

Replacing Facebook with RSS or Feedly is nonsense. My friends and family have no idea what those are. Facebook makes it easy for people to connect with old friends and family members through active human interactions: like this, follow her, read that. By doing so you do tell Facebook about you and others. Its interactive and solves a pain point - keeping in touch and interacting with others, your community. Feedly does not do that.
I'm not buying it. Web development complexity grows but so does desktop software, kernel development, etc.

You used to be able to have a small program written in BASIC or whatever that would give you a simple popup alert on desktop. Now you need to worry about backwards compatibility, different OSes, etc. But guess what? You can still write simple programs, without all the complex stuff, if you want to. The exact same thing applies for web. You can bundle megabytes of javascript, for some fancy stuff, or you can have simple static index.html with just text.

"The web was never supposed to be a few walled gardens of concentrated content owned by Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and a few other major publishers. It was supposed to be a cacophony of different sites and voices."

It still is. Facebook, YT and Twitter are simply more known than your local pet owners forum but that doesn't mean the pet owner forum doesn't exists. It's similar to supermarket chains and your local grocery store. Both still exist.

You still download and install Office 365 as applications and run them independent of a web browser and can do so without an internet connection. They also have their own updater. Yes, you can run them on the web from the Office 365 portal, but that's the html version.

The installed version is still fundamentally a desktop platform. I'm pretty sure it's written C# or C++ and runs on dotnet.

An SPA is a web page run in the browser over http(s). Anything else is desktop, server, or mobile app, regardless of what tech it's made from.

Installing Windows first is just the recommended way to set up dual-boot, since the Windows installer will always overwrite the bootloader without asking any questions. I think these days there's an automated repair tool on the Ubuntu install media that'll take care of fixing it, though. And with Nvidia drivers it's usually a good idea to install the latest ones from the "graphics-drivers" repository (there should be plenty of guides for that too).

Also, depending on what kind of C# development you do, VS Code can be very nice. DotNET Core is very straightforward to work with, and targeting the full frameworks with Mono is doable with a little bit of tweaking. If it's Unity, then the debugger plugin will be completely useless on Linux, and you'll have to use the very latest beta version of the editor.

I've been toying with the idea of creating a web 0.5 that consists mostly of a meta tag and a piece of css (body:after{...}) that hides the contents while directing users to use a textmode only browser. Rules would be page is valid if it doesn't contain css or js. I think this could be an incredible fun experiment somewhat in the same style as the tilde club.

IKEA has an almost Disney-esque level of "magic" and ability to become an expert in negotiating their space while pleasurably manipulating casual shoppers. IKEA can be a super efficient experience if you're in the know but it takes a bit of work - I suspect this actually endears them to both types of shopper, and anyone who sees through it and hates it stays away.

Styling is done in style sheets, functionality is done in JavaScript (with the exceptions already mentioned). Trying to create, say Hotmail in 2018 would result in a much better to understand and debug app than the 1998 version was.

> The average consumer doesn't have a remote server or the knowledge to set one up.

The average consumer doesn't need a remote server or the knowledge to set one up, just a plug and play device that works. IP cameras don't need to stream to some cloud service, you could have a plug and play consumer "home cloud" set up that allows the user to keep control of their data 100%.

A while ago there used to be almost plug and play IP camera set ups. Plug this box into your router and these cameras into that box. The box could be logged into remotely and had both a web based interface and mobile app.

I used this in a number of installs were the mostly computer illiterate clients wanted to be able to check up on their horses, or home or work premises (or all three) from their phone or laptop as well as review footage from months ago.

It feels weird to me that people feel comfortable in transmitting what can be very personal and private feeds into the ether and if more average consumers were less ignorant of the risks there would be more consumer pressure for cloud-less set ups.

This is all too easy. On Friday, I was taking the off-ramp to join a different highway, on cruise control (because I knew the road layout ahead), at the speed limit (70MPH). I glanced down to adjust the heater and when I looked up, a BMW had been sitting on the ghost islands separating the highway and the off-ramp (apparently missed the turn), and the driver had just decided to join the lane I was currently steaming down. Fortunately, the excellent brakes (as well as the loud horn...) in my Supra made up for my lapse in concentration.

I'm in two minds about vehicle automation. Most of it is to compensate for human idiocy (such as the above example). The same gains could be made by humans not doing illegal maneuverers like that. Yes, there are occasions where the electronics can react appropriately to a rapidly developing situation much faster than a human could (e.g. child/animal running into the road), but I agree with the article's caution on complacency. All it needs is for a driver used to auto-braking to get into a car without it and cause an accident, and the technology will suddenly become mandatory.

At the other end of the spectrum, as I've often said, it's technology developed by humans, based on our own understandings, so there will be flaws. Having experienced poor ABS systems that would activate at low speed to the point that I feared the car would not stop at the junction I was approaching, I am not confident auto-brakes will react appropriately in every situation they're called upon.

A lot of vehicular automation is compared to aircraft systems (especially fully autonomous technology) but there is a critical distinction - you never get tailgaters in the air (or if you do, something has gone terribly wrong). Aircraft can rely on huge amounts of automation because in normal use, there are huge amounts of open air in every direction to allow the pilot time to take back control should the systems fail, and still have space and time to correct the immediate problem. Vehicles on the ground are tightly grouped together. Not only does this leave precious little time for humans to react to a bad situation, it also means that any automation systems are similarly constrained. They have to work correctly in a span of seconds or milliseconds. There is no time to 'nope' out and pass control back to the human when they exceed their programming, as is frequently the case with Tesla. Failure is thus very difficult to analyse and account for.

Automation is generally a good thing, but I can't help thinking we might end up automating ourselves into a hole on this one.
One day I'll really learn to setup vim or emacs (finally learn some scheme) and have an awesome workflow.

Today I use i3 + IntelliJ or Atom depending on the project. I really love tiling window managers and lets me have a nicer UI without going entirely terminal+keyboard.

I feel like there is often a trade-off between initial setup time/learning curve vs getting up and running quickly. (The former having a potential for a faster workflow and speedup).

Following the recommended safety distance (2-3 seconds of travel distance if I recall correctly) is quite difficult in moderate to heavy traffic.

If you leave a large enough gap with the car in front, then people will merge into that gap. If you then slow down to create a new gap - people will overtake and merge in again. You end up travelling slower than the rest of traffic, with people overtaking and merging, which creates dangers in itself.

I think safety includes non-fatalities. Where I live I can safely say that nearly every day during rush hour there is a rear ending collision causing lots of delays for lots of people. Rarely does this kill someone but it’s still a safety issue. I bet nearly all of these would be mitigated if every car had such technology.

I think the op was saying that you already owned the stock - that now becomes worth 1,000,000 and presumably would have paid income tax for the FY when you vested.

You surly don't pay income tax on the gain of already owned stock but CGT.

Back in the day 2000's I did own stock that was worth over 1,000,000 certainly wouldn't have had to have paid income tax if we had been bought out at point - but that was in the UK

Exactly. GDPR is around the corner and any private data without explicit consent to be targeted for marketing is going to be useless at best, a liability at worst.

Explicit consent means the company must be able to prove the user consciously agreed to receive marketing. Which is excellent. 1) the burden to prove it lies with the one holding the data and 2) you can't tuck it away in legalese fine print.

I bet a lot of companies are going to do like wheterspoons and just purge the data rather than attempt to make it legit.

Not only do (our) family and friends have no idea what Feedly is, most of them would have no idea where to start with the websites / content providers they’d want to add to their feeds.

This is clearly a huge appeal of social media sites, as they act as content aggregators that do the ‘dirty work’ (oftentimes very poorly) in getting relevant content to chosen eyeballs.

As much as I want there to be a reversion to more ‘vanilla’ content consumption, I’m completely in agreement with your refutation that Feedly would indeed be a nonesense bet to make on where we should be headed.
Allow me to be blunt.

2) Cyber-surveillance by state and non-state actors has increased since the birth of FB.

Yes, on one hand it's correlation (but on the other it's an assessment of the status quo). If 1 depends on 2 then FB is not to be considered on the side of the people.
