I'd go in the opposite direction. I think people are so afraid to be themselves nowadays that it's making interpersonal interactions increasingly fake, which are unlikely to result in anything but the most superficial of relationships. And I think this fear of being yourself is in part driven by the fact that society is splitting itself into groups. Think of the vehement antagonism there is now based on nothing but "I have a different opinion about [insert political topic.]"

People seem to be more and more identifying as members of some group or another, as opposed to individuals. And in turn they adapt their personal views to the views of the group rather than expressing their own 'real' personal views. Of course I could be conflating the direction here and it could be that people are engaging more in 'groupthink' type behavior in a misguided effort to form social bonds, but in either case - I am curious why, in more detail, you think social relationships are suffering for some excess of individualism.
I once flew from Chicago to Beijing and the thing that astonished me is that you are over land the entire flight except in the vicinity of the Bering Strait.

Artory is building the Registry for the Art World and wants you to be a part of it!
The Artory Registry enables partners to register important events of an artwork, which serve as immutable, long-lasting documentation for the artwork. Partners provide artwork owners with anonymous access tokens, allowing them to identify as the owner without storing their identity in the registry. The Registry provides access to artwork-related services that owners may safely interact with.

You'll be part of the team that shapes the core experience of our service as we get ready to roll our product out to the market. Our executives are well-connected in the art world, and work towards changing the market into a level playing field which enables confident buying, selling and owning of artworks and collectibles.

Over 6,000 clients use PI to define behavioral and cognitive job requirements, hire the best-fitting candidates, and keep them engaged. AT&T, DocuSign, the LA Clippers, Hugo Boss, and Subway are just a few of our notable clients.

Who you are:

A graphic designer specializing in interactive design and flow. Consistent goals, but able to adapt to new feedback. Cares about the little things that make MVP into MLP (M-Lovable-P).

Appreciates and understands UX research, but isn't primarily focused on it. May not possess any coding skills at all, but does understand enough about how things are made that designs are practical/feasible and not just pretty.

An arbiter of preferences. This role is going to hear feedback from Brand design, UX, Product, and Developers. They need to hear all of these things, digest them, and come to a wise decision they believe in.

What you'll be building:

We recently listened to our customers in a big way and redesigned our entire software experience. We wanted our customer voice to be the loudest, so we completed this re-design of the software quickly so we could put it out there and iterate on it live as we collected a ton of feedback. We are over the bulk of that initial redesign and are looking for a world-class UI designer to come in and truly take our design to the next level.

There's a lot of opportunity here as we have a vastly used product with a lot of functionality that really needs a visionary to unlock its true potential. Both in terms of visual appeal but also in exposing the latent functionality in a usable manner so that people get the real value out of the product that they're paying for!

Apply:

If interested please apply here and include your resume and portfolio (must-have):

ALSO HIRING:

We are also going to be spinning up a new engineering team so we will be hiring engineers as well! This will be working on a new greenfield product that doesn't event exist today! We're looking for mid level + engineers and a potential lead position in the future depending on the candidate.

Our current stack is .NET backend with Angular/TypeScript on the frontend but this team may lean more towards technologies like Node/RoR/Whatever-theyre-comfortable-with-that-enables-them-to-iterate-quickly-and-provide-value-to-customers

If you thought that Nation-State hacking looked bad wait until Private Sector hacking reaches Blackrock levels should only take a few weeks...then it will be who can afford the biggest stick.
I long for the days when someone who realized they were rich would say, "I'm going to spend 90% of my money on sex and drugs, and waste the rest."
This will never happen. If you want to see a single issue unite hard right wing conservatives and far left wing liberals or single handedly bring down a political party, try taking on Prop 13. Just about every homeowner in the state views this as an existential threat and will bring hellfire and damnation down on any politician that so much as mentions repealing Prop 13. Plus, there are so many other options that have a better chance at making an actual impact.

I'm much more in favor of incentivizing people to support positive change than just bringing out the big sticks. How about giving everyone in the neighboorhood a property tax credit if they vote to upzone? Or giving companies big tax breaks if they allow 50% of their workforce to work remotely (tackling both housing and transportation issues)?
.app was a tiny bit more expensive to acquire than that ... http://www.businessinsider.com/google-just-paid-25-million-t...

We're not expecting to make our money back on this one. And these amounts are a drop in bucket compared to many other Google products anyway.

So a cynical profit motive is not why we're doing it. We're doing it for the stated reasons, to move security forward on the Web; see https://security.googleblog.com/2017/09/broadening-hsts-to-s... and https://security.googleblog.com/2018/02/a-secure-web-is-here...

Also, I could talk your ear off about the design of our infrastructure for hours. Suffice it to say, it's a lot harder than you're making it out to be, particularly as regards to scaling. Our registry platform is open source, so feel free to inspect the code at https://nomulus.foo . And that's not even getting into DNS hosting, which involves a very large number of instances distributed around the entire globe.
F*ck you.

Let me take your personal property and redistribute it as I see fit.

The author isn't blaming C. C has stayed largely the same. The author is saying that Intel and AMD have - unlike PIC, AVR, and such - hidden the machine from C so thoroughly that it's no longer a low-level language for that platform.
Sure, but the point being is that Amazon is not consenting to being a bargaining chip in this manner. If you're in control of a site, and you want to say, "If you block them, my site will be blocked too, in solidarity," that's just fine. But it would be pretty awful for you to involve me in that, as well, if I don't wish to be part of it.
TV and Film industry would not like that at all. Average script to screen is 7-11 years (depending on whom you ask) and TV series are a model of geo locks with semi-perpetual licensing fees along with an added value for pushing new stuff (in packages with these, older, titles). That's the only way to make them profitable if they aren't hit series (most aren't). 10% of the estimated value where you can't make an estimate is ridiculous.
> show me the law that tells me it's illegal to write something for someone else

Writing papers for someone else is not illegal. (The student presenting the paper as their own violates your copyright, and potentially other laws.) But if you market and sell your papers for the purpose of cheating, particularly with respect to students pursuing degrees they intend to use for licensing/certification (e.g. law or civil engineering), you're aiding and abetting fraud.
I think about this and I wonder if they don't add it because no internal team wants to take the responsibility of adding that feature. Imagine, FB source code is >10 year old code base, could there be a delete cascading effect somewhere? You mention posts, comments, likes and photos, what about game activity? Or notes? I think that's what were called. What is all your past information? Who defines what "all" past information is? What about Farmville game activity?

I'm not defending Facebook machiavellian tactics but knowing that no code base is perfect and also that even FB is understaffed, I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
And the parent's point is that there should be a distinction in level between Haskell and C, for example.
Learning from Source Code (Microsoft Research)
So I can have me and my four friends?

Realistically, as the early adopter, I'd have to pay for myself and my 731 facebook friends, since none of them would want to pay for it. So, like, closer to $18k a year.
Sometimes I assume everyone in the industry has read Fred Brooks, but that can't be true, so allow me to quote some of him. This from a review of The Design Of Design:

Quality should be the responsibility of one person

One of Brooks’s many excellent points is that quality happens only if somebody has the responsibility for it, and that “somebody” can be no more than one single person—with an exception for a dynamic duo. I am surprised that Brooks does not cite Unix as an example of this claim, since we can pinpoint with almost surgical precision the moment that Unix started to fragment: in the early 1990s when AT&T spun off Unix to commercialize it, thereby robbing it of its architects.

More than once in recent years, others have reached the same conclusion as Brooks. Some have tried to impose a kind of sanity, or even to lay down the law formally in the form of technical standards, hoping to bring order and structure to the bazaar. So far they have all failed spectacularly, because the generation of lost dot-com wunderkinder in the bazaar has never seen a cathedral and therefore cannot even imagine why you would want one in the first place, much less what it should look like. It is a sad irony, indeed, that those who most need to read it may find The Design of Design entirely incomprehensible. But to anyone who has ever wondered whether using m4 macros to configure autoconf to write a shell script to look for 26 Fortran compilers in order to build a Web browser was a bit of a detour, Brooks offers well-reasoned hope that there can be a better way.

Ok, now I'm trouble. How is this different from using an API wrapper for any of these services in any other programming language?

I'll read more on ballerina.io anyway later to see if I can answer this.
Announcing the New Microsoft DevOps Resource Center
Those who wish to suppress Signal would just play whack-a-mole. They'd login to Signal, find what domains it was connecting to and then block those. To update Signal with new addresses constantly, you'd need a server hosting those updates- which would in turn be blocked immediately.

The idea of using Souq.com or Google.com as the domain name in the TLS header was that even oppressive regimes won't block Google or Souq for their entire country.
You have to be careful about what you mean by "linear"—linear programs are P-complete, and all binary operations are linear over F_2 (including NAND, etc), since all functions are polynomials over finite fields and the largest polynomial over F_2 is of degree 2-1=1. There are many linear elements which can generate arbitrary circuits and hence can (in principle!) implement any finite circuit (e.g., processor).

I do agree, though, that in this case it's unclear how the 'coprocessor' connection arises from the original statement given in the paper.
This is a large topic change from Prop 13 being a very conservative policy, and not liberal or leftist, but I'd like to challenge it a bit.

As far as liberals being contrary to markets, I disagree 100%. In most parts of the world "liberal" means using market based approaches to solving problems. The neo-liberals are extremely pro-market, and though I'm not one, that's definitely a thing.

There are some leftists who are anti-markets, just as there are lots of rightists that are anti-markets. NIMBYism crosses both liberal and conservative, and is mostly homeowners. Homeowners in California are highly enriched for conservatives.

Being anti-housing is something that has crossed party lines in California and it's not terribly useful to analyze it in the terms of national politics. Remember that California was the home of both Nixon and Reagan, and their policies have had long lasting effects on the state, so it's not a strictly liberal place.

Prop 13 which is decidedly against liberal values (basically a Grover Norquist anti-tax by any means possible policy), and that's the particular policy that the original poster was talking about. I don't think it's the biggest impediment, though it may be a small one for motivating people, IMHO.
He was also one of the earliest non-Apple contributors to Clang, was on the FreeBSD core team, and wrote the modern GNU Objective-C runtime implementation. His work on Objective-C in particular is prolific.
Oh, here's the fun part: you can only delete what you can see. If you posted something on a user's profile who disabled their account, you can't delete it until they enable their account again.

So even if you delete everything you see, if an old friend who disabled their account re-enables it, there's a fresh batch of content about you.
Zuckerberg Adds Dating App Features to Facebook
That makes no sense at all. It's gov't policies that created the high prices. So the gov't then turns around and says "we're taking your property because the price is too high"?
I would add, the content itself is not removed. They only stop displaying it whilst the robots.txt says not to. If they can not reach your robots.txt, the content comes back as I have experienced multiple times.
> If they hosted on VMs they would simply hop from one place to the other.

No, that isn't a good enough solution. Signal needs to be reliable, or it's not worth having at all. The fundamental problem is node discovery: allowing the users to discover the IP address of the mothership (or, if you prefer, other members of the P2P network, but Signal is a centralized network) without the oppressive regime finding those IP addresses. Domain fronting was supposed to be a "cut the knot" solution, but CDN providers are shutting it down.

Tor's approach has been to use a La Resistance approach, where Dave in the US runs an obfsproxy node for Yasim and his twelve trusted friends, that's how node discovery works, and as long as Dave is a good sysadmin and nobody squeals it's reliable. Personally, I think that's the only sustainable solution, but it's not very user-friendly, because you need to have trusted confidants on the other side of the firewall that your government doesn't know about. Signal can't be that trusted confidant, though I imagine Signal works over Tor just fine if you set it up.

An aspiring censor could also "easily connect to the broader network" and masquerade as a federated server in order to discover others. This process could even be automated.

Federated services also require an identifier, and this identifier usually indicates where the user's account is located and how to connect with them (e.g. user@domain.com). As people share these identifiers, the aspiring censor can just keep adding new entries to the blacklist.
Nice, thanks! I already own an apu2 with the WiFi modules but I may simply remove them.
I had something very similar happen. Our power bill went up 30% in March of last year over what it was in February after the power company installed a smart meter. This was odd because March was so temperate that we didn't use our HVAC once and we have a gas water heater. I called the power company and we confirmed they were reading the right meter. Trying to evaluate it further went nowhere as they claimed that despite the increase, we were in-line with other homes of our size and suggested maybe our analog meter was wrong. After a few weeks of arguing with them, I ordered and installed a Sense. It absolutely doesn't track at all with what the power company is reading and I shared the differences including my own measurements with an ammeter on the 120 lead legs into my meter which match with what the Sense is reading but the power company won't investigate further. To mitigate the increase in electricity use, I decided to get into the cryptocurrency mining business and have gone from ~$200 to ~$600/month power bills, all of which are easily paid from the mining. Since I was lucky enough to start last year, all the hardware is paid as well (thanks December crypto currency market madness).
But in order to do that, they're dragging an unrelated third (fourth?) party into it, without their consent.
I wouldn't be surprised if the total number of Rust programmers is smaller than the total number of Haskell or OCaml programmers. The latter two are frequently taught in school, unlike Rust.
I used to do a lot of BCD in embedded POS stuff. No one will miss it. You can do anything you can do in BCD with regular integers if you have any understanding of integer arithmetic. Yeah, it is going to take a little more time to convert to/from decimal digits you can display/input but processors these days have fast integer division so that doesn't matter.

A current issue is that a lot of programmers are bad at integer arithmetic. It isn't really taught in school.
Peer-to-peer, on the other hand, is.
Macbook Pro frying USB peripherals
That's the main thrust I got from the article. It does depend on the hardware, and for mainstream desktop and server hardware it no longer maps well to what the machine is doing.
