"Here’s how it worked. Whenever a phone couldn’t establish a connection with another phone, instead of remaining silent, the calling tone would start ringing in the caller’s ear. Logically, the person placing the call believes that the phone on the other side is actually ringing but nobody is picking up.

...

If you think that’s not that bad, imagine this: You’re driving through the middle of nowhere in Midwest Square State, U.S.A. Your car breaks down, your A/C is nonfunctional in the hot summer weather, and you call road assistance. The phone rings and rings, but nobody picks up. You call again. And again. It seems that everyone at road assistance must be out partying, or they just hate you. By the 27th call, you’d probably be mad enough to break the phone–all without realizing that your those rings were pure fiction, and you needed to move to find a better signal. And what if someone with you was injured, or a more serious emergency took place?"
Not my mom. She talks to everyone anyway. Sometimes she even pinches their cheeks and hugs them. Crazy old bat.

I'd hate to lose my domain name because I, say, used the Maps API in some way that Google didn't appreciate. Google needs to be better at siloing their products before I'd consider using them for something that mission critical.

I dont know, I seem to learn a lot more from different programming languages, frameworks and libraries.

I could get deep knowledge in Java but wouldn't learn how to deal with concurrency from functional programming until maybe Java Lambdas and thus use some kind of object oriented hacking with locks, or a myriad of other useful methods and thinking that would be either much harder or un-doable in Java that has added to how I deal with code.

On the other hand, that could be the mark of a beginner so I might be mistaken.

>There is like a bajillion people out there running Oracle Java, MySql, Virtualbox and so on. All of them Oracle products, and with permissive licenses. Where is this "existential treat" thing coming from?

Oracle. (see, I can be sarcastic too)

Ignoring the fact that most of those users were likely acquired back when those products were still known as Sun Java, Sun MySql, and Sun Virtualbox, those "bajillion" people are not lucrative enough to warrant the effort. The moment one of those people becomes large enough, Oracle's lawyers will come knocking. If you're large enough, they will even go as far as to change how copyright law itself is interpreted to get their fill.

With a company like that, entering any form of contract or agreement is a major liability and an existential threat.
I suppose non-physical phenomena is currently studied by mathematicians, computer scientists, IT security researchers, psychologists and monks.
I think what you are struggling with is not "developer" vs "production line worker," but rather "artist" vs "engineer." I'd go so far as to say artists don't belong in most development groups, engineers do.

What sets them apart is not necessarily creativity, but rather consistency, quality, and a set of ethics. An engineer has to ensure that what they build works, is robust to bad inputs, robust to errors and failure situations, and is maintainable by others. Consistent practice and tools is key to this and software is only starting to catch up to other engineering practices.

However, many developers see themselves instead as artists, and your comment is a classic example. You want to "create novel things," "ideate," and essentially produce pieces of unique art. You want to be the hero, with irreplaceable skills. This isn't a bad thing, there is always a place in the world for artists. We need artists!

However, art is not engineering, and it shouldn't be too surprising that the big companies want engineers, not artists. They want people who can build things reliably, predictably, work on a team, and yes be replaceable. These days it's more likely that you have to replace an engineer because thy leave for new work rather than are fired.

Both art and engineering are great professions, but different.

The important part is A signed over to B $1000. B and C may be the same person. B wanting to do business as C.

If A, B and C are all the same person and there wasn't an identity attached to any account, outsiders wouldn't value the record much, especially if they were transactions of significant value.

C could redeem the value with Western Union (or similar agent). They might say you have to agree to sign the closure of the account to no longer modify the balance of the account. They'd basically be like a collections agency, buying debt.

You'd be able to have similar plausible deniability as Bitcoin. Coinbase sees the transaction flows and the ledger is public. You could do business as a pseudo identity ( Do business as C, if you're B )

It's hard for anyone on the outside (like us) to say, but that doesn't mean there isn't any. What benefit did Than Shwe receive by stepping down as Prime Minister of Burma? That act pretty much ended the military dictatorship that existed there for decades.

Strong-man governments do occasionally dissolve themselves voluntarily. Shame it doesn't happen more often, but it does happen.
An industry with very few competitors servicing professionals where services cost a lot, because in those situations

1. Everyone knows who the competitors are
2. You are either going to be paying for those services or not, and if you are you will decide which competitor you want to pay for based on something different than how they show up in your google.

Examples - Thomson Reuters' legal services, LexisNexis etc. I'm pretty sure the amount of times some lawyer searches for a term, ends up on some competing legal service and just says oh well I better just pay for this now is negligible.

Near or actual monopolies.

SEO in these cases might help rank, but you don't actually need to rank for your business.
Has anybody heard from YC yet?

In the past, I've gotten a rejection email midday (2pm pacific), but now it's after 9pm pacific, and I still haven't heard one way or another...
Turning developers into production line workers is precisely what needs to happen. The way we produce code is so ruinously expensive that nearly everyone in this industry accepts the tradeoff between developer velocity and product quality. The only way out of this is to automate programming so thoroughly that only the creative necessities remain.
Maybe consumers can ignore it, but governments won’t. Whether or not there are valid security threats, the US can use this to their benefit in the same way that China has used media control to their benefit.

I see a bifurcation if two non-comadible but competing political systems which will include different hardware, operating systems and applications. It will be interesting to see which system has the ultimate Darwinian advantage.
FYI: If you're in the EU these sorts of warranty statements are meaningless.

As an EU citizen, regulations state that you have two years of warranty within which, if the item is faulty, you may return it and get a refund.
Those concerns are orthogonal to the type of mastery Rich is talking about.

If neither of your developers has mastered software development, it doesn't matter which you pick - they're both going to need a lot of training and handholding.

If they have both mastered software development, then you may as well pick the specialist if you have a specialised task, or the generalist if you have a general task.

The point is that someone's ability to add business value (or practical value if you aren't in a buisiness, maybe artistic value in some settings) isn't a function of their programming languages and platform experience.

Realistically, nobody has mastered programming because they 'know X platforms'. All that experience guarentees is that they can reach their skill cap really quickly in any setting. This means nothing. It might even be a negative value-add if their skill cap is low enough. More information is needed to say if they are good programmers.

A couple of years ago I was at Leica's booth at NAB talking to a rep about one of their Sumicron-C lenses. For the nominal fee of $100,000.00US, they will make you a set of lenses by hand. Of course, it takes 18-24 months to make them. For an additional $75,000.00US, they will nearly double the number of lenses in the kit. Apparently, if there is the slightest defect in the glass, they do not attempt to polish/grind it. They simply crush it and start with a new one. Hand made seems to be the way it's done. Maybe they have already learned what Tesla is learning. Automation is not always the best way.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercompensation

As a gross oversimplification: when you train a muscle hard, it accumulates low-level damage. This is why if you train continuously without any recovery, your ability level goes down, not up. The recovery phase is when your body repairs all that accumulated damage and builds the muscle back. Only, it doesn't stop at the level you started at, it goes past that and makes it a little stronger than it was. This is the supercompensation phase. If you just let it be, performance will eventually return to where you started at. But if you train again during this phase, you can reset the cycle, starting from a higher point.
"... and then I discovered the privacy.firstparty.isolate option (in about:config), which effectively gives every site its own container ..."

But with its own IP, possibly a non-routable, private IP ?

I think not ... and that's too bad because that is what we really need. We need the ability to chroot jail a GUI program just like we jail named or (whatever).

A different root, a different IP, and no access (or knowledge) of the rest of the system. If I used facebook, that's the browser I would run it in.
You use Mailtrain to manage your list subscriptions and manage your email blasts. If you want your email to then land in inboxes instead of spam, you can use an emailing service, like MailGun or Amazon SES, to actually send the mail. Instructions for using both are on Mailtrain's wiki.

The problem with MailChimp is that it's very simple and easy to use, and once your list actually gets popular the pricing falls off a cliff. At 2,000 subscribers MailChimp is free; at 3,000 it's $50 a month, and it keeps going up.

There's no monthly fee to send email through Mailgun, and the only thing they charge for is number of emails: you can send 10,000 a month for free, and it's $5 per 10,000 after that. You can also manage mailing lists directly through mailgun, but it doesn't have as polished an interface (and you need to send the actual mailings yourself through the API). So if you want a polished interface, use MailTrain to manage your lists and Mailgun to send the emails.

Amazon SES is even cheaper, and also hooks into Mailtrain. "$0 for the first 62,000 emails sent per month, and $0.10 per 1,000 emails sent thereafter."

MailChimp offers better deliverability than Mailgun and SES, but at a pretty steep cost. If you're a professional company with income, pay the $50+ a month for Mailchimp. If you're doing a list for a sidegig or a hobby, use Mailtrain.
> In order to sincerely claim a car has the hardware needed to support a full self-driving capability the car would need several LIDARs, several good quality cameras, a high-precision GPS receiver, and a respectable Inertial Measurement Unit.

No, it needs decent cameras with coverage in all directions. That's all what a human needs so that's enough hardware.
I wanted it to be. I first started looking at it when it was in beta. I wanted to buy a bunch of 4g usb dongles from alibaba. There are a ton of cheap good ones that just require a SIM card. What stopped me is the pricing. When I looked it was about $25-$50 for 1-2gb of data. For comparison I spend $30 a month with Boost mobile for 3gb of data. That was a huge stopping point for me. No one is gonna buy your service if it’s twice as expensive as the big guys. If pricing goes down or you figure out how to scale very quickly where the price drops to like $0.0125 per mb, then you are getting competitive. In my mind voice doesn’t matter as much as many will be buying your service for pay-as-you-go data
I did both at the same time. Containers were the easier of the switches, because while DDG does an admirable job, it's not Google level quality for searches, and it can't be while still providing privacy. 80% of the time it's fine, the rest is acclimating yourself to g! and reminding yourself it exists.

Some effects of unchecked company growth
I'm really of two minds about this. On the one hand you can use Facebook or Google to log in and then have them know what sites you log into. Or you can use a site's native login and be pretty sure that at some point you're going to get a "we take security very seriously" notice after they screw up and expose all their user data.
There's a lot that separates a cheap 18-55mm kit lens from the super-expensive telephotos. But probably the single biggest factor is that the 600mm f/4 requires much more glass and in much larger pieces, so even with the same target for optical quality you would expect to have much lower yield and higher manufacturing costs for the massive telephoto than the pocket sized kit lens.

It's probably more interesting to compare the differences between two lenses of similar focal length and aperture. With that kind of comparison, the kind of differences that you'll find are that the more expensive lenses tend to have metal instead of plastic frames, may have optical stabilization in the lens, fancier or faster autofocus systems, better sealing against water and dust, and more advanced coatings on the optical elements. In terms of the glass itself, you will also generally find that the more expensive lenses use more optical elements with potentially more complex shapes (eg. aspherical elements) to reduce distortion, so they tend to have more glass than the cheaper lenses. Given how many other factors contribute to the price differences, I doubt that you actually find order of magnitude differences in the price of unground lens blanks of similar size destined for cheap vs high-end camera lenses.
Thank you for sharing. One thing that impressed me about Hamming's essay on how to produce world-class research [1] is that it suggests a necessary, but not sufficient prerequisite is to spend your waking life thinking hard about some problem. This is necessary in order to provoke the unconscious mind into doing the heavy-lifting required for a "Eureka!" moment, so I was pleasantly surprised when Hadamard's book has a chapter titled "The Unconscious and Discovery". It amazed me that even in the modern world we do not understand the processes that led to these breakthroughs, so we can only leave them in the realm of the otherworldly and the mystical.

That's a curious association to make. The only thing Barbara Bush and Adolf Hitler's mother have in common is that they were both related to important political figures. However, Klara Polzl was not politically influential or important. Barbara Bush was. So to answer your question, no, there would not be such a post for Klara, and not just because the internet didn't exist 110 years ago.

Unless, of course, you think there's something else they share in common. Please elaborate.
So your position is that pilosophy is "western culture" and not science:

In the second case I would expect it to be unifiable across cultural boundries even a posteriori - like for example mathematics, just to show a different disclipine with western/greek name. And in the first case if philosophy IS culture - then it is not unifiable of course...
We have about 700k users who have opted in to our newsletter but we only send one a couple times a year. As a result mailchimp's costs are way too much so we've used Sendy the past couple years. Our emails are definitely not spam as they're announcing new products/features/company related/etc and again, only a couple of times a year... but over time more and more often the newsletters end up in peoples spam folders. We're sending through SES so this really shouldn't be an issue but it does. I'm not sure if Mailtrain will do something that sendy doesn't do to make mail deliver better but it really seems more like mailchimp gives some kickback or deal to gmail/etc or gmail just knows that people using mailchimp are paying a lot so that goes through...

Anyway long story short, Mailtrain sounds interesting if it can solve this issue... but it's really not just spam that gets blocked as spam these days, its a major pay to play game and its the email companies that are getting paid, not the people getting the emails.

It does take a few extra seconds to load heavy web apps like Google Sheets or Google Maps; however, on the upside, if I make my apps run fast on such limited device, it will be super fast on most of my users' devices. I also love it b/c it makes zero noise.

> Superdelegates had not yet cast their vote.

The superdelegates were always going to vote for Hillary. Everyone involved, Bernie included, knew this. You might say that's very unfair and I'd agree with you, but surely the problem here is the Democratic party's delegate system? It seems very odd to blame the media when they were simply reporting the accurate facts on the ground. Should they also refrain from reporting polling numbers? After all, those too can change in time.
