Ha ha, I tend to agree.

In fact, a font that looked like steel or concrete might be good. Wonder if there is one. If so, they could have made the logo to be just the word Go (as I spelled it as regards to case) in that font. Silvery steel font on a gray or black background, or some similar combination.

Even a font / image / logo signifying a rugged wood (mahogany or some hardwood?) in some way might have been a good one. Signifying the Go philosophy - a no-frills, just-get-the-work done-kind of language.

Just thinking aloud ... :)
Because you might consider it immoral?
The accused is an independent PC recycler and anti-electronic-waste activist of sorts. He observed that non-technical PC owners who ran into problems that require reinstalling Windows, upon realizing they no longer have their restore disc, either throw out their computer and buy a new one, or buy the latest version of Windows at retail pricing.

This is wasteful and unnecessary. Dell is fine with this because uninformed consumers will unnecessarily buy a new PC. Microsoft likes it because they will unnecessarily buy a new copy of Windows, unaware that they already have a valid license.

This seems to be the basis of their claim to “lost profits”. They said that these restore discs, allowing consumers to use a product to which they are already entitled, “displaces potential sales”. Shameful.

The guy being thrown in jail was not selling counterfeit discs in any meaningful sense. He was printing restore discs, without the license, and distributing them for roughly the cost of shipping (25 cents each).

His copies were useless to anybody who didn’t already own them. He did not sell licenses. You could not install the software without buying Windows. Having these does not even make it easier to pirate Windows.

The prosecution apparently originally claimed that each disc was worth $299, showing their total ignorance of how software licenses work.
There are so many problems with the story. It's fairly embarrassing for NPR.

Besides being a one-sided story, it's also obvious PR for Ervine's new company, which is dutifully linked at the end of the story.

Secondly, the story presents Ervine as the heroic protagonist. An interesting choice for someone that turned in his middle-eastern clients to the FBI because they took a cab and didn't talk like typical rich people. Ervine's response to this is to hand over all of his client's private information to the FBI, without a warrant, after which his client is jailed and deported.
> How so?

With other gene editing techniques, such as TALENs (and others before that).

> And if so, why is CRISPR such a big deal?

CRISPR/Cas9 is a big deal because it makes gene editing a lot easier and less error-prone (and hence cheaper, etc.). But (and not to diminish the tremendous scientific achievement behind the technique) the hype in the press around this technique is only partially warranted, and a lot is getting lost in translation. Part of the reason why CRISPR specifically is a big deal in the popular press is due to the extremely dirty fight for its exclusive patent (and the Nobel prize for its discovery): To gear up support for their side, both institutes involved created substantial media coverage that far exceeds what new discoveries normally get.

> CRISPR is an over-simplistic view of DNA

I would really like to read that original article because stated like this, the claim is simply incorrect.

> Right. Because the world was and still is flat? SMH

I honestly don’t know what you mean by the rest of your comment. But it’s worth noting that, in the modern history of science (i.e. since doing something that actually deserves that name), crackpots have virtually never been right. Progress (even paradigm shifts) came always from experts inside the field. The only near-counter-examples I can think of are Semmelweis (but that was before modern biology existed, and even he was an expert in his field), and Wegener (likewise, for continental drift). It’s easy to assert that science doesn’t have all the answers, and that theories are a temporary view of the world that’s going to be proved wrong in the future. But this has never been accomplished by people who doubt the veracity of extremely well established facts.

Our knowledge of DNA is far from complete. But the things we know about it today will stick around: they have been tested by millions of experiments, performed around the globe each day. Paradigm shifts will come because we will discover new things about it, not because we’ll disprove established facts.
The OP has written extensively about this subject in the past, and I get the sense that he is intimately aware of the risk of false positives, however catching a high volume of fraud could for him literally be the difference between staying in business and not. His fraud tolerance is going to be much much lower than a large vendor.
In this case may be but the statement itself says now is better than previously without explicit admission that previous quality was bad.

It’s like apple, every year iphone is the best iohone yet, but that doesn’t imply directly that the previous model was bad.
Space is hard. Goes to show they have thorough and extensive testing and caught this now rather than losing the mission in 2020.

My sympathies for anyone in a company so gimped that they don't allow developers to install software on their own development machines without forms signed off by seventeen people, a sacrifice to the IT administrators, and a 21 day waiting period.
What if "all we know", "all we thought we knew" is the problem ?

There is a really telling and truthful scene in the Social Network movie about that, when Saverin wants to introduce ads and sponsoring opportunities way too early and Zuck refuses.

Former-employees-turned-critics like the author of the "Chaos Monkeys" book also agree with that : I'm paraphrasing but he says 2 important things : 1) that the ads sales organization within FB often felt neglected because Zuck initially really, really didn't care or understand this industry. Sheryl basically ran that, and still does to some extent 2) They were really serious about "make the world more open and connected" mantra internally. It's a genuinely mission driven company (and I'm sure recent controversies must have made huge waves)

I'm a former Facebook engineer. For sure, and especially since the IPO, it's definitely become an ads company, no point denying that. But it's also very fair to say it wasn't built to be one.

Same goes for Google really : who believes Larry & Sergei were thinking "let's build an advertising behemoth !" when they came up with PageRank in a Stanford dorm ?

Most ideas that became big weren't built from the get go with money as the end goal. That's just what follows after success.
In regards to maintenance costs, if a plugin hybrid is driven on electric 95% of the time (i.e, if it has a 60 - 100 mile electric-only range) then the gas engine won't need maintenance that much (assuming things like oil changes and spark plugs are based on engine-running mileage).

As far as overall complexity, a regular hybrid with a modern ECVT transmission (like Ford and Toyota have) is actually a lot simpler than a traditional automatic transmission. Then the plugin version is the same thing but with a bigger battery.

For weight, a plugin-only with 350 mile range would have as much weight as a plugin-hybrid with a 60-100 mile electric range and a low horse power gas engine (the gas would be used to maintain highway speed and trickle charging the battery, and electric used for acceleration).
I wonder if archive.org/archive.is wills soon be running afoul of EU laws.
Nice! At first blush, the TLS PR looks pretty good. It's not just shimmed in there like it could be (for example if I'd have written it haha). I've always appreciated Redis for having generally excellent code quality over the years. Looks like a great contribution to the project!
Excuse the bluntness, but given the cocksure manner of the reply I'd assume that you can read about it on his/her site.

I like Stallman’s emphasis. Considering how resistant people tend to be to the idea of not using Facebook, underscoring that they’re being sold is an important point. And not for the purposed of exerting control like 1984’s.

They didn't "simply remove it", they replaced it with 1,300 words explaining what the problems were with the story and why the story did not meet their standards, hence the retraction.

The guidance you cite is a suggested response to third parties asking to remove embarrassing information from the Internet. It doesn't apply in this case; the story was retracted not because it was embarrassing, but because the reporting did not meet their standards of fairness.
>P.S. I have no reaction to MSG I just don't understand why you would think someone is being irrational.

Because nobody has a reaction to MSG. It's ill effects are entirely fictional.
Everything I have read suggest changing it is quite hard. A study I came across recently was about a 34 year old man who fasted for 40 days, lost about 20kgs. His daily calorie requirements went from like 1800 calories to 1600 (IIRC), but the paper did not go into any detail other than he was able to maintain his reduced weight by eating appropriately for the 6 months after the fast. My recollection of this paper is probably off in some way.

So it seems it is like primarily a combination of psychological and behavioral modifications that impact physiological things. If you maintain the current set point / weight for long enough, your body adjusts.
No, I wouldn't say best. A longer comment demonstrates more interest.
I just checked the ingredients on my organic Costco chicken stock. The ingredients do not contain MSG. I found a website that asked Costco about their "natural flavors" and got a response that it does not contain soy, or dairy, and no MSG is added.

Is it really that simple? Please explain.
I want to give just a few info about this:

1. SSL is going to be merged in the next days, I'm in this moment here in SF in the same room with the patch author, she made a wonderful work and the patch is "opt in", simple, and good, so this is going to happen.

2. Forking is a right that open source gives you. Have fun coding Josiah!

3. I really will push for any fork not being called Redis. I care a lot about the details, the stability, the quality and the ideas in my project, and I really want that when people say "Redis", it's Redis, and not a Redis fork.

4. I'll be a bit disappointed if the license of the fork is so that it will be possible to merge my(1) BSD code but I will not be able to merge back potential change. It's legal, it's possible to do for this approach, but it IMHO ethically speaking sucks.

(1) my as mine and a number of other contribs.

"Hannity: Mueller's investigators are partisan hacks" [0]

Sure, maybe Fox isn't "serious", and maybe Hannity isn't the most serious "journalist" on Fox. Still, this is a headline published by a news organization. You don't watch them and I don't watch them, but my grandmother watches them five hours a day, and she isn't the only one.

It is hilariously revealing that you object to the second headline rather than the first. Even if subconsciously, you know you've seen that first headline published by your favored media conglomerate.

How will managing huge enterprise projects will look like in future? With average developers maintaining it and not language experts like in case of Mozilla Servo?

Time will tell I suppose. I am little bit pessimistic but I hope to be proven wrong.

Call the cops.
You're right, I probably could have done a better job citing sources on these claims. You can read about Larry Page and Sergey Brin's early anti-ads stance in any number of books about Google, or in their own published paper that first introduced the idea for Google: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html

I summarized a lot of the literature in this article a while back about how Google landed on its business model: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/when_big_businesses_w...

See in particular John Battelle's "The Search" (2005), Steven Levy's "In the Plex" (2011), and Doug Edwards' "I'm Feeling Lucky" (2011).

As for Facebook, there's probably less public documentation but I have been following/covering it from very early on and personally know a few of its earliest employees. Ads have never been Zuck's focus.

Again, as I say in this piece, the fact that these companies didn't set out to become advertising/surveillance juggernauts doesn't excuse anything. They absolutely are. But I raised this point about their mission and origins to help explain why it seems obvious to those companies' leaders that customers' data is not their primary product.

Yes, I agree with all of this. I guess I was writing my explanation above at the same time you were writing this.
That is not true. The very first Tesla had little that Tesla bothered to repair, and so for any major repair, Tesla would tell the insurance that the car was totaled. Which was a boon for people who salvage them.

A friend salvaged a 85 that had no structural damage, but was dimmed totaled by insurance.
Tesla then revised the policy and now Tesla repairs more.
I know a mechanics at Tesla, and his job is to repair Teslas. Tesla used to send him across the globe and shipped parts so he could repair the car on site. Now, Tesla expands its repair facilities, so no more travel for him.
He actually helped with the remakes, like https://www.specnext.com/about/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum_Vega%2B
Yeah, but with the side effect of clearing the flag registers. So can't be used between operations that rely on flags. Alternatively it is great to break false flag dependency.
Well, I'd say it's 90% side-stepping. Composing a message takes more work than swiping, especially more customized messages. Just saying "Hi" is not much more work than swiping, and so mostly defeats the purpose.

If your base calorie requirements drop because you have lost a bunch of weight, but you don't change your eating behavior after stopping the fast, then of course you will end up gaining the weight back. They have done studies on the "World's Biggest Loser" contestants that show this. The facile interpretation is that you "slowed your metabolism".

Agreed! To be honest, I'm more interested in the viable business stage than in the "two guys in a dorm" stage. I assume the people who built the first TV weren't all that interested in making tons of money either. But you have a point.

I don't understand your point at all. The headline attributes to Hannity. Yes, Hannity said that, the headline is factually correct. The headline the poster proposed is not and no real news organization, not even the news part of Fox would use it.
Lots of people think they know ideas are false, harmful or both, even though they don't. Take any belief you think is objectively false or harmful, and there'll be plenty of people who think it's objectively true and good.

So making censorship acceptable is pretty dangerous. It just favours whoever is currently in a position of power.

And I tend to think it's counterproductive to censor ideas. You can't stop people from believing them, and trying to censor them can increase divisions between groups. Argument and education seem better approaches in general.

I only have some rudimentary understanding of GraphQL, I didn't select it in the end, and went back to rest.

I think GraphQL only adds query to rest. Could be an implementation burden on the server side in order to fulfill different queries. For a site like facebook, which provides public API, GraphQL might have more flexibility. But for my personal project, I write both the backend and the frontend, I know exactly what data I want for each endpoint. There is no flexibility needed, as I design the database, the api endpoints based on my specific use-case.

Likewise, Tesla runs, structurally and culturally, like a software company, even though they are building cars.
