You'll notice that the google links mention that the xmpp api is deprecated. I'm not sure what Riot uses these days but the xmpp connection is no longer available to third parties.

Taking your question conceptually, rather than physically, memories / experience would be 'gunk' if they're outdated (don't relate to how the world works anymore, or don't relate to how your body works anymore).

Your memories and experiences (potentially one and the same) colour your experience of the world and make you react in different ways, not always beneficial - but the phenomenon wouldn't exist if it wasn't historically, evolutionarily beneficial.

> We ferment milk, using what's called 'kefir' bacteria's - the health benefits compared to raw milk are hard to believe, and the milk can sit at room temperature for over a year without any problems.

Once you ferment it, isn't it yogurt, and no longer milk? Do you use it for beverages like coffee, tea, shakes, etc.? If you leave it out for a year (or even a few weeks), doesn't it get completely fermented and become sour? Doesn't it get fungus after a few weeks? Or do you turn it into cheese soon after fermenting (which has a much longer life)?

I don't think its true that it only affords opportunity for the white and middle class. I think you would find many Americans who fit into other categories who disagree with you. Not to say cynically that 'if you don't like it leave', but I'm curious when you say you just happen to reside here for lack of better options -- is there a country in the world you consider to be the ideal, a place more just than America? I ask for the sake of discussion, not rhetorically.

> The same was said over and over on the nascent days of the internet, about how it facilitated anonymity so easily and how it would be used by criminals.

There's 2 things I want to say about this comment:

1. Those accusations were not wrong. In the same sense that we have pretty clear evidence that a lot of the value injected into bitcoin and stored there is via money laundering.

2. Unlike proof of work currency blockchains, the internet clearly delivered and had no direct theoretical challenges to its very existence that people subsequently and fervently denied.

Proof of work is a bad idea. It's been discredited. It doesn't do what people thought it did. And it's MUCH too expensive to keep doing.
Who on earth are these people describing ?

I've never heard of anyone hiring expensive Data Scientists, spinning up Spark/H2O clusters, building a data lake, doing a database offload to S3/HDFS all for a "select from orders table where basket size is the biggest" query.

AI/ML doesn't even work like this. It's simply not designed for giving 100% accurate answers to highly structured queries.
> most people have been to Times Square

A lot of people have been to Times Square, but I doubt most United States voters have.
I think part of the difference is that the USA has a lot more "Tier 1" cities than other countries would have for their size.

Australia really has 2 major cities (Sydney and Melbourne), and two second tier cities (Perth and Brisbane).

I think it's also in part to how separated the federal government is from local governments. In Australia, tax money is collected by the federal government and then disbursed to the states (bit of a simplification). There's less of a clear delineation between "federal money" and "state money".
North America is in fact nothing like the Third Reich. These truly incredible, bizarre claims require extraordinary evidence, not a supposed conversation with a random person. The random person's skin color doesn't make it any more or less likely.
> It could simply be that everybody knows that blue collar job are eventually going to disappear. You don't want to build your latest factory using technology that will make you obsolete in a few years.

This is circular reasoning.
Blue collar jobs will only disappear if no-one builds factories using them, because everyone knows these jobs will disappear.

> you know such a process cannot include human

Sounds like you're just assuming this is true, because "more tech is always better/faster/etc".
I'm not so sure this is correct.
so the non technical parts?
Also: it isn't particularly efficient at these tasks. Proof of work mining has been discovered to have a major flaw AND it doesn't scale well.
Agreed. The advertising agency I previously worked at would take the first month and only work on how data is collected and stored. After that first month they would begin addressing goals, plans, etc. About a year later is when true value would be realized because data that previously never existed could be analyzed.

Few things were more enjoyable for me than getting a new client, imagining what analysis I'd like to do, figuring out what data would be necessary, and then implementing the system to make it reality.
Well, it's actually more of "Don't put quote marks around things which aren't actually quotes, but rather paraphrases" situation - so not necessarily an inaccurate assessment of what was being said, but not an actual quote either. Which is not a good thing at all, but at least they don't just make things up out of whole cloth, as I've seen some other "news" places do.

Along those lines, I once saw a place which laid out an imaginary conversation with someone in the public eye (we'll say John Doe) where they "asked questions" and John Doe "gave answers". Then they actually had the gall to lay out a headline with one of the those imaginary answers - in quotes, no less. And then that headline made it into my supposedly legitimate newsfeed.

Another time they interviewed someone who was speaking about John Doe, and they said something like (and I'm just making this up because I don't remember the actual context) "Deep down inside John Doe probably thinks that all illegal immigrants should be shot on sight!" And then the headline was 'John Doe: "All illegal immigrants should be shot on sight!"' And once again that headline made it into my newsfeed. Crap like that makes me wonder if there actually any truly legitimate news organizations left around these days.
Is that what the educational system does? Maybe during the Cold War. Now, the goal of the educational isn't to install pride in America, the goal is to divide America into camps.
I swear, comments like this only come out of the woodwork on articles about things like racism or sexism.
No. This is not how you should approach this problem.

The main problem with XML in this regard is a lack of proper data model. In JSON you have a single, mostly consistent data model that is `value ::= atom | [value...] | {key:value...}`. As a data format JSON is half-baked and inefficient, but as a data model it is very clear. On the other hands, XML shines when you actually need the semi-structured markup (which would be very mouthful to represent in JSON).

> People naturally assume you would be interested in accessibility work

This is the problem. It's like going to a black person and saying "oh man, I assume you must like fried chicken!"

> Show that your productivity is in line with others.

This also doesn't compute -- I can't think of a link between "you must be interested in accessibility work" and "we'd like you to work on that because your productivity is probably low."

I've faced both of these problems as a mostly deaf developer -- people always assume I want to work on hearing-related things.
Thanks for posting your insider's view. I agree their mistakes are not unique, but the scale of the failure and the level of dumbness makes them a much bigger failure than most.

They started in 2013, long after books like "Four Steps to the Epiphany" and "The Lean Startup" explained exactly why scaling up before you have traction is a huge mistake. They could have learned the "this isn't working" lesson for an order of magnitude less money. If they had done that, they a) would have had capital to recover from their early mistakes, and b) would have been much better placed to find that low-cost solution.

When I look at a crater like that, I think about the 50+ seed rounds (or 20 A rounds or whatever) that could have happened but didn't because they got high on their own slide decks. They blew up not because they couldn't have discovered these problems, but because they didn't want to.
I agree, proof of existence enables a lot of interesting use cases. I recently created a project to explore one, an immutable audit history for invoice data (accounting records) [1]. The main advantage seems to be the independently verifiable nature of the audit data. I can just hand over the data, and point to the audit trail, and then it’s up the auditor to do their job.

I believe reason is a different flavor than typescript and friends, though I could be mistaken.
You'd be surprised how far people who do not live in the tech bubble might commute.
Even if you don't feel pride or you don't have better options, one could still have a connection to a place or a sense of familiarity with it. Even though I will never feel as safe or comfortable as a white person, or feel that I belong as much as they do, I still have a connection to where I live merely from living here and walking through it, knowing people, etc. It's best to channel that sense to work to make that place a better place, into something you can be proud of. If I didn't have that sense, and I think if other POC didn't, we'd never get up in the morning.

I’m not an expert, and a year sounds like a long time, but here’s some information to answer a few of your questions.

Is it yogurt? Sort of. Sour cream is also fermented milk products, but we don’t call it yogurt. That’s maybe a bit arbitrary, but there it is. In the case of kefir, I’d argue that the distinction is valid. Yogurt is just inoculated with various strains of bacteria, which eat milk sugars and produce lactic acid. That lactic acid is delicious, and it also tends to kill any invading microbes that might make us sick, like fungi. Kefir is similar, but is inoculated with “grains” of a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. Kefir is like... milk kombucha. Sort of. (Real) Kefir is actually carbonated and very slightly alcoholic, because the yeast is doing part of the sugar-eating, producing CO2 and ethanol as a result. In that sense it’s kind of like milk beer, or milk-yogurt-beer, you get the idea.

Cheese is a whole different beast! When you make cheese you use an enzyme, rennet, to separate curds from whey in fresh milk. What you next depends on the cheese, and doesn’t have to even involve aging or fermentation. Of course, some cheese is allowed to react with fungi (Brie), or swabbed with bacterial cultures(Muenster), or exposed to wild strains of both. Incidentally you can also ferment butter, which develops a somewhat cheesy flavor due to lactic acid fermentation, but because it’s not treated with rennet and is almost pure fat is Not cheese.

Finally, the lactic acid produced in any fermentation process will eventually be concentrated enough to kill everything including the “good” bacteria, just like yeast will eventually kill itself with a high enough concentration of alcohol. So there is a limit to how fermented something can be, and after that you’re just aging it. Of course the traditional way with kefir was to keep adding milk and kefir grains to the existing kefir. The result was sort of perpetual fermentation, almost like a sourdough starter, or kombucha “mother” can be continuously fed and fed upon.
> K, so it appears that you don't support tools that allow people to get around censorship. That's fine, but that is literally the point of Bitcoin. You just don't like the use case.

You cannot try to shame me into saying a technology that's been proven to have a major security flaw doesn't have that flaw. It's precisely because I care about this more than you that I can accept that bitter pill and you cannot.

> My definition of "working" has nothing to with theoreticals

Then you are a sucker, and you deserve to lose what you put in. Still, I hope you'll be okay, mmkay?

> Or in other words, if it really doesn't work, as you claim, the how come it its working?

Well, aside from the fact that its not working very well at all... It's prototype-level technology escalated to national limelight because of initial interest from a lot of questionable and probably illegal people. Unlike previous things like the internet, the value exchange mechanism is very direct, making it much more attractive for money laundering.

> As defined by the fact that it is literally the best existing tool out there for this usecase. (IE, visa and mastercard will block your money, and yet bitcoin still works)

I'm fairly sure the cost of a dozen viable stolen identities to use as money movement channels is MUCH cheaper than the transaction fees on bitcoin, so it's not like the enterprising criminal doesn't have a classical, high performance, downmarket option.

Bitcoin in particular is libertarian chic and anarchist crypto-religion. Ethereum has MUCH more interesting properties, but still needs several years to bake.

> If you disagree, fine, go ahead and try to stop my money going to places that you don't want it to (ex, such as Wikileaks).

If you really wanna donate to a bunch of authoritarian-loving pro-rapist people with such bad opsec that a single twitter actor blew a core comms network wide open? Be my guest. Crypto-fash it up.

> Cows need milking, they feel pain with full udders

Firstly, they have been cross bred to produce a lot more milk than their ancestors even a century ago did. Secondly, female mammals of different species go through different phases in milk production vs. what's consumed by the baby. If you don't milk a dog or cat to relieve pain from having more milk, why would you want to do it for just one species? This whole thing is a human created problem that's turned into mor excuses to continue such practices.

They don't have to be very expensive. High rises that subdivide to 1000-2000 sq. ft. have reasonably priced homes in Atlanta and Chicago, depending on location. 4000 sq. ft. is on the expensive side, but cheaper than a similarly sized townhome.

>"There are three major processor architectures: register, stack, and accumulator. In a register architecture, operations such as addition or subtraction can occur between any two arbitrary registers. In a stack architecture, operations occur between the top of the stack and other items on the stack. In an accumulator architecture, the processor has single calculation register called the accumulator."

I have only ever seen register and stack used to distinguish between a virtual machine implementation - i.e a "stack machine", example - the JVM , a "register machine", example - Dalvik. The author explains that the x86 is register based architecture but what are some examples of a stack based CPU architecture and an accumulator based CPU architecture?
As a question of fact, programs put out JSON that gets misparsed by other programs. Some simply parse floating point values differently, or they treat Unicode strings incorrectly, or output them incorrectly. Different parsers have different opinions about what a document represents. This has a real world impact.

Accepting invalid or ambiguous or undefined JSON is not an acceptable behavior. It means bugs get swallowed up and you can't reliably round trip data.

Race absolutely does predict things but it predicts group properties accurately and individual's only probabilistically. That's bound to happen no matter how you categorize people. Every category has to have a different mean height, weight, etc. from the others because those are continuous variables. It turns out that for some useful properties, race is a better classification than random groups. Of course, it is a human invention, just like planets and fish, but it's one with predictive power, just like those other examples.
Give swift a week, you'll love it.
I do have an addition to offer to your first sentence. The thing is, people don't care about almost anything that affects others (or even themselves). Most people act or react based on their habits and what's convenient for them. If most people were rational, then things would be a lot better for humans and non-humans.

Since you yourself referred to it as "a holocaust", and seem to know more, you could still make changes, however small they may seem to anyone else (or even to you).
What does "OP" mean in this context?

I've played around a lot with using all of Mac, Win 10 and Linux as a dev station to see what I like best, in the recent year.

Win 10 has a unix subsystem now as others mentioned. It's called WSL (Windows Subsystem Linux) which you can install on a Win 10 (doesn't come installed by default). Incidentally on every computer I tried this on, I keep seeing really slow startup times if you have node/nvm installed (which I use a lot for development work these days). The nvm startup script just takes a lot longer to run than on Mac or Linux.

My main complaints with the WSL terminal might sound rather trivial: 1) Horribly inconvenient copy-and-paste, 2) no tabs. On #1, copy and pasting is supported but I can't seem to get it to work without using the mouse and clicking into the menu to do it. Following the keyboard shortcuts labeled on those menu items simply doesn't work. On #2, I'm simply too used to being able to open multiple tabs for different things quickly. I can open 2 windows, but it's not the same.

My main complaints with macOS are also trivial: 1) I just cannot get used to the whole cmd/ctrl/alt/option modifier keys on the macOS, even after years of using it at work by now. (I grew up on Windows for the first 25+ years of my computing life.) 2) There doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to remap home/end keys to work like they do on Windows/Linux. I tried a ton of things, but it still doesn't work fully on every app. On many apps (Slack for one), home/end still goes to beginning of text or end of text instead of beginning of line/end of line even after extensive remapping.

My order of preference of dev station OS: Linux (any flavor, but I choose CentOS myself), Win10, macOS.
This one is awesome
There is always a server. Your question is do you want to pay someone else to run it for you.
That’s a reasonable way to look at it and not negative at all. Umpires do have some discretion as to what’s an infield fly, but it’s part of the game — and better than without the rule.

This looks really interesting. Thanks!
On the contrary, the audio is horrible (Yes, I've heard it). Movie screens are perforated to permit "screen speakers" to be positioned directly behind the screen. LED screens do not allow such positioning. The center channel (i.e. where most dialog emanates) is positioned above the top of the screen. This has the effect of disassociating the voice from the speaker and breaking the suspension of disbelief.
