Firstly, It doesnt have to be illegal. Monopolies decrease choice for the customer and hamper innovation. That reason should be good enough and has been good enough in the case of telecom.

Secondly, if there is enough competition than why has Google enjoyed overwhelming market share for such a long time ? This doesnt happen in any other industry, not with any other company and definitely not in any industry as lucrative as search ads.

Thirdly, Search is critical infrastructure. Google is known to hire lobbyist to supress research unfavourable to it. How do we know that publishers do not self-censor content critical to Google lest they get bumped from search.
> Imagine for exemple being a Russian citizen whose quality of life is diminished due to political/economic sanctions as a result of your country's espionage activity being revealed.

I know quite a few Russians. Almost all act defensive over how people treat Russia as a politically homogeneous (evil) unit, when it's mainly a few oligarchs at the top. To the point of defending the political explanations espoused by state TV, which of course is heavily biased towards the narrative said oligarchs want the Russian people to believe.

I went to the gym regularly for for more than a decade. Throughout the years I did "tradition" workouts, classes, swimming, yoga, spinning, pilates, solo workouts, workouts with a friend, everything you could possibly think of I tried.

Still not fun and was never fun. Working out while watching TV even makes TV unenjoyable.

Even the activities I did as a kid weren't fun: soccer, dance, gymnastics (which I was good at).

I did it for the same reason I clean the dishes, because it's something I "should" do and it improvedy quality of life.
My sources tell the story this way: unknown village of Finnish-Ugric population -> Kholmogory (Novgorod outpost) -> Novokholmogory -> Arkhangelsk.

However, regardless the name, the place will not be a major trading center until establishment of regular sea route to England (when Ivan The Terrible granted trading privileges to English) which is XVI century. There was not a lot of sense in navigating Arctic waters to deliver those furs to the Western Europe before Swedes became rulers of North-Eastern Baltics and imposed tariffs. So map is not correct.

Based on the information you provided, you will not be attractive to USA based VCs. The numbers you provide might be good in your country but not in the USA. So I would suggest that you should approach wealthy local people as potential angel investors. With their investment you should be able to grow to a higher level and be able to attract a B round from perhaps an adjacent country with a comparable but somewhat more vibrant economy.

Some people might suggest moving your operations to Silicon Valley, etc. But that would require USD 1m+ to have any chance of success. That probably would be out of your reach until you get B or even C round investments locally.
I prefer cable and don't bother with streaming, period (I'm not even sure their streaming services are available here to their full extent, mind), thus Netflix as a service is completely irrelevant to people like me.

To me, what's telling about this is not that it may or may not have happened, but that people could believe it happened (even through a skeptical lens), and that some people believe that this sort of thing wouldn't happen if you had Microsoft or Amazon accounts, at least not in the same way.
"Standing up in public and calling for violence and persecution against people is an act, not a thought."

I don't understand why our reaction to that should be also violent, why cannot we, as you write, "swiftly and decisively", collectively ignore that act.

On one hand, you deny that society has moral agency, because you think that this is not an alternative. On the other hand, you want the society to act, as if it had a moral agency. So which is it?
It seems pretty plausible to me that a bad bad hacker could do such things and a reaction from the Japanese government would be to try to break Tor. Do you think it's a lie?

I don't know if any of this is carryover from Zagat but I tend to agree. Zagat was quirky in its own way with the brief summations of crowdsourced (before that was a term) comments on restaurants--but, because it was definitely oriented toward foodies, I found it very reliable.

I do find Yelp better than throwing darts at a dartboard. But especially if reviews are thin or the restaurant caters to the sports bar crowd or whatever, it's not much better.

I honestly don't think any of the crowdsourced sites are great. But it's hard to get much from other sources outside of some major cities, especially if you're just looking for something simple.
It's funny how GMaps is insisting to have me set a 'home and work' location as of lately.

It's worth noting that one of the main pain points mention of Python was that it was 2-100 times slower (vs 1-2x slower for Lisp). The slowest elements of Python compared to C++ were matrix multiplication (278x slower), array access (141x slower) and heapsort (84x slower). NumPy solves the two slowest, although I can't find an obvious contender for the sorting.

You mean Amazon actually has a product. Until yelp started doing deliveries, order now and cashback its product was a content farm.

Thanks to Snowden (who keeps on giving, even 5 years more or less to the day after his escape to Hong Kong), we can assume that Japan too conducts dragnet surveillance. It is the state of current affairs that it hardly raises more than a yawn.

Still an interesting article, since it reveals that the Japanese take their secrecy really, really seriously, and so we may not assume much of what they are up to, really.

The problem with secret government agencies is otherwise generally that they are notoriously difficult to reign in. They are governed by law, but are likely to develop their own agendas, and since lawmakers are kept in the dark they can end up meddling in policy, using all the means at their disposal.

Our ultimate line of defense against such, and only hope are the brave whistleblowers. Edward Snowden needs to be pardoned.

Zagat had enormous grade inflation. There were even studies done on it - unfortunately the name of the paper currently escapes me and googling only provides explanation of why it is happening rather than the data source.

Yelp's biggest issue is Yelp Elite crowd. It wields sufficient power in local markets that people want to belong to it and in order to belong one does not just need to review lots of places, one needs to review them quite well i.e. lots of positive spin ( look at distribution of 4-5 stars vs. 1-2 stars in ratings given to restaurants by Yelp Elite ). So either all the places are amazing or as the group Elites have a collective hive mind.

Confirmed looking at the official site, there is no stop between Miami and Ft Lauredale.
there is an interesting thin line dividing a "hardening feature" (e.g. a system call filtering system) and something perceived as a genuine execution environment category (e.g. a virtual machine).

Most people like to be able to reason about general security implications in broad strokes and concepts as "virtual machine" have the ability to convey a given notion of isolation guarantees that make them stand out as a primitive you can build upon, rather than an "additional layer".

In order to achieve this standing, the "virtual machine" concept is rooted on the general idea that most of the traditional OS abstraction is moved inside the sandbox, leaving only a very small, easy to understand (and hence easy to secure) channel to the underlying shared resource. This is traditionally achieved by running a fully kernel in the sandbox (guest OS) and having it interact with the host through a hypervisor. The optional assistance provided by hardware virtualisation features is often necessary to achieve good performance, mostly because of the necessity to move a traditional OS in the guest, which was designed to work as a primary OS in the first place.

The niche gVisor is trying to fill is the ability to approximate that abstraction without requiring the traditional hypervisor mode, which has some practical drawbacks that make it hard to deploy in some scenario (think of hardware support for nested virtualization which would be required to run your own virtualization solutions inside of public cloud compute instances).

gVisor achieves this by fundamentally implementing a user-space kernel, leveraging some of the aforementioned system call filtering tools as one of the possible ways of implementing the sandbox mechanism and the guest/host communication channel. So, while using the very same features that are commonly thought of providing additional hardening features, gVisor fills a different niche, more akin to what people usually call virtualization.

It can be argued that the amount of host features exercised by gVisor is too high to be able to call it a virtualization feature proper (especially in its seccomp mode), but it shares with classic virtualization one very powerful property: when end-user workloads require a given OS feature (e.g. some new cgroups feature), only the guest "OS" needs to implement it.

On the other hand, traditional seccomp/selinux/apparmor style hardening requires the host OS to implement all the features needed by the guest workload.
Furthermore, it also often requires that the rules (e.g. syscall filters) to be updated to let the sandboxed workload use said features, and the amended rule can often be applied incorrectly. Moreover, the filtering rules need to be expressive enough in order to implement some scenarios in the first place (e.g. seccomp-bpf cannot currently follow pointers).

But if evil didn't exist we wouldn't need to contrast it with anything, it's not like it makes being good any better than it would have been in an evil free world.

And from experience I can tell you that they can be used comfortably standing, they accelerate no faster than a subway.

Asynchronous messaging is overly complicated for request-bound tasks in web applications when using an external message queue. When it’s a first class feature of your language though, it’s way less painful than it would be with something like Python and SQS. If I were going to build something that was heavily built around asynchronous messaging, I’d definitely want to do it in Elixir. Otherwise, I tend to prefer REST or RPC except in situations where messaging is really necessary.
I’m bullish on yelp still, they have the highest quality community sourced reviews, a forward thinking engineering team, and energetic management. I think they will pull through and continue to be competitive with Google, but they need better marketing!

I was one of those people that said "You're destroying crypto!"

Because frankly they've been the primary source for identification data in the blockchain space. They violate the basic principle of privacy, by pinning every coin that goes through their platform to the official registered natural person names of the humans that are for some reason responsible for that money.

This establishes a chain of responsibility. A policeman may ask "you transferred the coin out of coinbase, didn't you?" and you either answer whom you sent the money, admit to the crime paid for with it at some point, or volunteer for 'obstruction of justice'. Now queue Trumpian illegalogics.

Honestly this world is sick. It's sick because reality isn't honorable. It's sick because we pretend it is, lie and deceive to make it so. It's sick because when we do fail, it is so unimaginably horrible, yet passes like a slow breeze.
