Mitigating it seems like a last resort when there's no other option.

With researchers like Mordechai Guri out there, I'd say the GP comment is solid general advice.

But how is that an alternative to Nextcloud? An example for that would be Seafile.
I can't figure out what this is or what it does for me.

On your homepage you call it a "social learning platform." The title tag calls it "social publishing for groups and individuals." Further down you say, "you might call it a publishing platform." And Github calls it both a "social publishing platform" and a "social group platform."

Aside from a vague WYSIWYG box in a wireframe, the only thing that seems to tells me what it actually could be used for is the Unified Comments block. That sounds interesting but it isn't clear how it fits into the learning/groups/publishing focus.

If this was indeed GSuite then it really seems like a lawsuit in the making. It wouldn't be hard for a judge to nullify Google's TOS either as they quite often include terms that are illegal in some jurisdictions.

Will definitely be sharing this story with our team in the morning.
Suspect what is happening. G-Suite support is actually pretty good for a tech company.
That's no small beer!
Non-reified generics is the feature that allows different JVM languages to interoperate much more easily and share data structures. If you look at the CLR, interop there is much messier, largely due to this. The reason is that if reference-type generics were reified, then the JVM must know the subtyping relationship between such different types, and different languages have very different variance strategies. This limitation does not apply to types that cannot be subtyped, which is why value type generics can (and will) be reified.

In exchange, you pay with a minor nuisance: mostly the inability to overload methods with the same erased types. I think most would agree that having a truly polyglot VM that allows different languages to enjoy the data structures written in other languages is much more important.
> "Take a Lisp program, indent it properly, and delete the opening parens at the start of lines and their matching close parens, and you end up with something that looks rather like a Python program."

Sure, if you write Python in Lisp, but not if you actually take advantage of Lisp.

Kind of surprised people expect different for something that is free.

The browser wars link is great. It's crazy to see how fast Microsoft moved on Netscape back in 95. Hard to imagine such a short release cycle for ANY company today, let alone Microsoft.

> Microsoft has come a long way in a short time. The first version of Explorer was released in August 1995, for use with what was then the company's on-line focus, the Microsoft Network -- a proprietary network that was refocused toward the Internet in February. Explorer 2.0 was released in December 1995 and widely derided as an also-ran by the on-line community. But such critics were silenced by the quality of Explorer 3.0 [released in August 96].

The lack of records for the Southern areas of Africa shows how unbalanced our historiographical studies have been for so long, and how much documentation we must have lost in our colonization efforts. I refuse to believe a huge continent with relatively large populations might have had no significant trade whatsoever over half its territory, less than a thousand years ago.

And of course, the same is true for South America - which was obviously disconnected from other continents, but still hardly a desert.
It's not a commuter train it's intercity. Tri-rail is the existing commuter service, it has 17 stations between Miami and West Palm Beach included (and Mangonia Park beyond WPB). This has 3 stations total: Miami, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauredale.

Silver Service has more stops along the way than Brightline.
We use React Native for our apps and React for desktop - I'd say about 95% of the Android/iOS code is shared and we're able to share a lot of business logic between mobile and web. Having all of the code together in one repo has worked really well for us and some of the most complicated stuff is shared between all platforms.

If you want to share UI across platforms you could potentially use something like https://github.com/lelandrichardson/react-primitives to do that, but we don't and I'm not sure we'd want to because we don't want to use the same design on all platforms.
Why literally everyone in the world hates the Jews
Unfortunately, this article seems as empty and uninteresting as the products it's criticizing. The Guardian should ask idlewords to write one for them instead.
" So yea, unless you're one of Google's 'poster' customers, good luck trying to get help when something goes wrong!"

This is just plain wrong. I contact Google for tiny, insignificant clients on a routine basis. This claim has no basis in reality if you're using paid G Suite.
Well, technically, same for Python. I mean, you would rather write the Python snippet this way:

with open('foo.txt', 'w') as f:
f.write('hello world\n')

Using print for that doesn't bring much on the table and a newcomer reading the code would wonder why.

Plus really most IRL works just need:

Path('foo.txt').write_text('hello world\n')

Also you never really use readline(), since files are iterable, you generally just loop with for on it.

I don't think that's the point of the author. The point is that they look like enough if you remove the cruft, that you can make helpful associations to learn the one you don't know.

There is a huge difference between Steam and Elsevier and I'm not sure why you feel the one is an example of how the other could evolve.

What I don't get is...why don't governments simply declare that all research at publicly funded universities must be made available to the public. It's seems so trivial. You pay the researchers, you get the research results, you make it available for all citizens (or the world).

Companies do this, they keep the research results of their employees.
"It not exactly new that Google has zero customer support"

It's also not true. Maybe for "free" services but paid G Suite accounts have telephone, live chat and email support. I've used it frequently.
Probably, yes. Even five years ago people were saying “we think the first immortal [1] has already been born, we just don’t know how old they are.”

Isn't every merkle object a dag? Seems like a bad name for whatever that is.
In a world with immortals immortals will end up holding the power and they will ensure they continue to hold on to that power. If patents are still a thing in a world like that you can expect such simple changes to legislation as 'patents expire with the death of the inventor', it seems to be good at first glance but in a world with immortals it means some patents will never expire further cementing their hold on power.

Immortality will create a lot more problems than it will solve.

New Features in C# 7.3
We've built an offline first webapp that is basically a PWA (it's one manifest file away from being one IIRC), but instead of relying on Google to have something installable[1] we also create an Android app which is just[1] a web view hardcoded to the correct URL.

I'm not convinced this is what we'd do if we were starting fresh, I imagine we'd look at React / React Native. However, this definitely works for us for now.

[1] We also deploy to very old / basic phones, so we use this opportunity to bundle our own version of the web view so we can target higher chrome versions.

Exact same thing happened to our previous startup cohort. To top it off the dev already had a banned account before he joined the startup and had a "poisoned" banned play account. He logged in via google multi-login account to the startup and in a few days google banned the entire startup. The whole seed funding, adsense, docs everything gone up in smoke. Funny thing; only adwords was not banned and they kept siphoning off funds for non existential apps. The Founders found everything banned and didn't bother to check if adwords was also banned; and it wasn't. Sneaky google. Sneaky
Superior? Yelp is awful. Make a better product and it would be higher in search. This is sour grapes and really worry we are going to end up with a worse search engine.

There were many search engines before Google. Reason Google won is because they provide better results.

Heck MS owns the desktop and still lost search.

Presumably I'm missing something, but are they trying to do something more than just Boxing value types? (Specialization?) I cannot see how legacy classes would be impacted if Boxing was used, nor quite why it is going to be so difficult. Boxing would seem to deliver most of the benefits (i.e. the ability to do things in a memory efficient manner in new code).
Ionic uses Cordova, which you can use directly without having to use the rest of Ionic. You're then free to write the app in React or whatever web framework you prefer.

The only downside is if you do want a native look and feel, you'll need to find a UI library to provide that, but that's no different than if you were writing a PWA.
Exactly and why Yelp is lower down. Where it should be.

Instead of Yelp b*tching on 60 minutes they should fix the service and then they would be higher on search.

It is how it works.
I'd say it had more impact then.

The major impact of software and computing was front-loaded, as in, it came with the early hanging fruits: being able to computerize banking, government data, credit card transactions, international trading, etc. This gave a huge boost to market efficiency and globalization.

The rest, with the internet, apps, online sales, etc, is just another outlet for doing business. Whether a 2B2 order happens on the web, or by old-style computer networks, or even by fax, is not that much of a difference.
AWS support is not outsourced but knowledgable US people who can and do page anyone including the engineers for help. There is a reason the top level of support costs an extra 3-10% of spending.
I use Ionic + PouchDB/CouchDB.

Ionic is pretty close to a native feeling. I think most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

Your solution to the problem with patents is to kill everyone?
Same. I start on Google and then usually buy on Amazon. Google has the Amazon links like they should and it is high on the list even though Amazon is Google chief competitor.

Reason being Amazon is popular and offers a great service. Versus Yelp is horrible so not high on the list.

Kind of indicates Google search is working how it should and Yelp just has sour grapes.

Now if Amazon moved to the second page that would be something to put on 60 minutes.
you get them to switch provided your end points are convenient and have adequate last mile options to get people to their destination.

the problem with trains is they are not flexible to change in population needs where buses are. however since this is between two cities it avoids a lot of waste that is inherent in light rail that cities use for metro transit.

the real numbers that matter is maintenance, how is this budgeted for. one of the major issues facing public light rail is the tens of billions in deferred maintenance combined with removing buses because of the cost of paying for the rail.

will this succeed? who knows, they have to convince people that it is worth their time and money to park their car at point A, ride the train to point B, and secure transportation at cost to their destination if it is not close. that is a lot to overcome and the city needs to assist by not preventing ride hailing services and taxis from providing options at both ends as well as making sure if there are local bus services that they do come to the stations
Do other popular languages support a similar construct? C? C++? Perl?

The Java try-with-resources was introduced in Java 7 (2011).

The Python with statement was introduced in Python 2.5 (2006).

The Lisp with-open-file has been in Common Lisp Hyperspec for a long time (1960s?).

Not that it takes anything away from Java. I think all languages are gradually converging to the features of Lisp.
People on low wages often don't drive the most efficient cars since those are more expensive. 24mpg is not unrealistic with an old car and AC in traffic.
Seconded, though I don't mind Erlang as much as some. The most complex stuff I ever built was built long before I knew about Erlang (and before Erlang was available to outsiders afaik). Message switches and other distributed systems would have been impossible with the degree of reliability required without the kind of architecture that message passing enables.

I did it using QnX re-inventing quite a bit of the Erlang philosophy along the way, if I had had access to either Erlang or Elixer at that point in time I would have been overjoyed, that would have saved so much time.
I highly doubt most men can take tires off and lift them and put them back on, too.

G Suite for Business is an enterprise product costing $5-25/user/month with 24x7 phone support, escalation paths, contractual SLA's, etc. It competes heavily and directly with Microsoft. A company doesn't get "banned".

This smells like black PR to me... playing on Google's lack of support/transparency around free consumer accounts and trying to get people to associate it with their Enterprise division.

I mean come on, just the way it's written: "One of the girls at work was fucking bawling her eyes out since she couldn't access her e-mail either." and the final "I do not know why Google has a scorched-earth policy when it comes to this kind of stuff, but I fucked up and our boss is looking to migrate away from Google even though we just recently signed on not too long ago." It just feels too obvious.

(Also, G Suite for Business accounts don't have recovery e-mails -- your admin takes care of your account -- so the supposed personal bans sound made-up too. EDIT thanks to ballenf below -- by default users can't set recovery e-mails, but a G Suite admin can enable that option for their domain.)

I use Google all day long. I start there for pretty much everything.

Looking for a product I start on Google and usually end up buying on Amazon.com. Amazon is Google's chief competitor yet it is one of the first couple links that come back.

Reason?

Because Amazon offers a great product and is popular and therefore high on the list returned.

Versus Yelp is awful and not high on the list. Google search is working how it should.

Yelp create a better product like Amazon and you get high on the list.

But how in the world did this story even get on 60 minutes? Does Yelp know someone at CBS?

Curious how you know that?

I've seen it happen as well to friends who have had previously stellar AWS reps that fall off the face of the earth when the ban hammer falls.

His was for "too many returns" when there was a huge scammer ring buying the type of items he was selling and returning bricks in the boxes. Took many weeks to get resolved, and the ban of course shut down everything including his personal accounts, AWS accounts, etc.

Amazon, Google, etc. seem to have decent "happy path" support - but if you fall into either an outlier or stuck into a "bad actor" group you may as well effectively not exist if you can't get traction on social media from the few cases of this I've seen.
