Last time I heard people from Québec I was astonished by one of them speaking with such a strong accent that it seemed a foreigner language if I didn't make conscious effort to listen to her. I wonder when will the two variants will diverge enough to be considered different languages.

Before the TSA, didn't airports just have security screeners employed by the airport directly? If the TSA is disbanded, you'll still have airport screeners and a set of regulations for their behavior.

What would effectively change?
My experience with online.net/scaleway from just yesterday: their peering is quite bad, and their IPv6 is broken out of the box.

First, you only get a /127. Second, IPv6 is not activated by default, and for a good reason: when you do activate it, basic things like a apt-get update of a their vanilla distribution are broken.

Basically, their IPv6 peering seems so bad you can't even ping6 some ASN.

Practical example: on their Amsterdam DC, I couldn't even reach ftp.nl.debian.org (and before you ask, DNS worked just fine - I got the correct AAAA records)

When I asked for explanations and provided them a detailed ping6 and traceroute analysis showing where the problem was (and the same analysis from another server I had nearby that confirmed the problem was on online.net end), I was told to try the "rescue mode".

Lol no. I tried another company instead.
Thank you.

I notice ASCAP’s website has information on licenses for TV stations, but not for, say, TV shows.
He's been pretty consistent on his message about trade since his talk show appearances in the 80s. That is unheard of consistency for Trump, so I do believe he thinks he's doing the right thing here. The problem is its only a first order analysis.

He's likely thinking the military is powerful enough to function without help from allies, but ships need to refuel somewhere.
That's all well and lovely, but the reason reviews have always been popular is that in many domains people trust the man on the street more than they do a journalist or reviewer, for often perfectly valid reasons.

If a restaurant site removed all user reviews and replaced them with a food critic's opinions I would trust it less, not more, fake reviews notwithstanding.
I think the problem is that there isn't.
I've been on both sides of this with large code bases, and I disagree. A good programmer can get into even very messy code bases quickly. Even in the worst case of ugly code there is a structure/architecture trying to keep thing understandable.

Or maybe it is easier in large code bases because the worst programmers fail? I don't know, I haven't worked with many tiny code bases.

(Loved your initial comment on this thread though.)
The hole in your sarcastic premise, is the fact that the US was once a developing nation, dealing with vastly more powerful colonial powers. It was the colonial powers and their capital that provided the seed capital for the US to become what it is. Just as China was / has been a developing nation and is graduating from that status, built up by foreign developed nation capital. Just as South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada were all developing nations at one time.

Japan and Germany had to rebuild themselves from complete obliteration. Eastern Europe had to rebuild itself from decades of Soviet occupation and forced impoverishment: Czech took their GDP per capita from $2,800 in 1991, to $22,000 by 2008. Lithuania took its GDP per capita from $2,100 in 1995 to $15,000 by 2008; Estonia went from $3,000 to $18,000 over the same time frame.

I guess you can either whine about the wealth and power of other nations, or you can turn yourself into a successful nation like all of those examples have done.

When other countries get brought up, if it doesn't relate to something the US is a leader in, half the time the subject just gets undermined or discredited somehow. Not just China, but even with other Asian/African/European/South American countries. There's some mentality of there's America, and then there's everyone else in the world. I'm sure not everyone has this view, but it comes off as pretty damn self-righteous. It seems like global matters are treated with a double-standard where negatives about America get treated with "C'est la vie", but then other countries people haven't even visited get judged like some "lesser-than".

For example, coming back to the US from studying in Germany, people asked what the conditions were like and it was pretty interesting there was this imagination of migrants running wild, riots in the streets, like it was 1939 again when in reality things were pretty much the same. Unsurprisingly, I'm sure the US media doesn't help with their approach to sensationalism.
How Big Pharma Used Strippers, Guns, and Cash to Push Opioids
I have no stake in the language, but that's not exactly a claim backed up by any arguments.
It's going towards cost disease, waste, bureaucracy, nepotism, lawsuits, etc.
My education was deficient; I don't understand the Our Town reference :)

But in general, yes - if I were thrown into a classroom as a substitute teacher for a month, I certainly wouldn't teach Shakespeare, because I'm not anywhere near qualified to do so. My wife probably would be - she's the one who enlightened me about a few things in Romeo & Juliet that were completely opaque to me when I read it. But I'd probably focus on the things I felt qualified to teach without reading from a Teacher's Guide To Keeping Students Awake During Hamlet, or whatnot.
Are you sure? Maybe the modal couldn’t cover the Like button and it might be weird if the user could still click Like while your modal is up but it wouldn’t break your page if this were the case.

If you think it is irrelevant there is probably a lot of things going on in contemporary books and plays that are going over your head. Which is fine. But why keep others away from it because you didn't like it?
We hire a mix. The good ones (there are a lot of good ones) are quickly making useful progress. The bad ones sound good and seem to be asking the right questions, but never really make progress. My boss said he knew in a week if someone was good because that is the longer it took for the team to say "he knows what he is doing, we rarely check on him", while the bad ones "He is making progress but isn't ready to be left alone". Only after a couple months are the other programmers willing to admit the guy who seems like he knows how to code can't write code.
Not mistakes as much as apathy. The TSA gets tested, and when it fails, it doesn't care.

I'm on the same page with you. I guess i should rephrase.

I said "That's a good thing" from Apple and Google's point of view. They are public companies with shareholders who don't want them to contribute to potentially illegal behaviors. So it's a "good thing" for them to have the companies comply with the governments.

But this phenomenon itself is not a good thing, so I do think decentralized projects should fix this problem. But centralized companies should not advertise themselves as being able to tackle this type of problem because it's not possible.

This brings us back to the original issue I pointed out. Telegram knows Very very well that they have this issue. Ask anyone who has built a mobile app if building a decentralized ecosystem on top of Apple appstore is possible and they would laugh at you. But Telegram did. And they raised billions of dollars for that false vision which they knew was impossible to achieve as a centralized organization with a product that depends on a centralized platform.

By "well established" and "we know for a fact" you mean, those lies (and they are lies), have been repeated a lot of times? But that just means the lies have been repeated a lot of times. It doesn't turn them from false into true, from lies into something else.
I'm somewhat baffled by the article. I started at Google in 2004 and it wasn't using brainteasers like "A man pushed his car to a hotel and lost his fortune" or "Why are manhole covers round" even then. It was mostly challenging algorithm and programming problems. I think there's a lot of urban legend in these brainteaser questions.
The focus on hiring is not about assessing job performance. This is absolutely clear to me after spending a bit of time as a contract worker with an exemplary record and a page full of recommendations from full time employees of many levels, who still has to pass through the same hiring gatekeeping process. Its now HR required that everyone be interviewed in the same manner. Performance means nothing in the interview - and the interview absolutely has nothing to do with the job, its just a bunch of alg questions. Its incredibly frustrating and disheartening to know how much they are skewing towards people who can pass the test rather than people that can excel at the job.
Right, though there’s nothing intrinsically better about throwing an error - it’s just the idiom programmers are more familiar with.

If it’s raised and documented well there’s no reason it wouldn’t work as undefined (could throw type errors on usage after that for example).

> For a MTBF of 2 million hours, that means that on average, if you have one thousand drives, then you should expect one drive failure every 2000 hours

That assumes your drives fail with a constant independent probability, like nuclear decay events (Poisson distribution). The reality is more like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve .

MTBF is not a good metric for complex systems used under wildly-varying load conditions, but ... it's a metric.

That does not apply to advertising.

It could apply to say, requiring candidates to provide credit scores which disadvantages a protected class.
I know Hoboken has one or two at least, but I'm North Bergen so closer to Edgewater than Hoboken!

I can actually (and have) walked to Edgewater.

I was definitely not being completely honest, but there is an insane number of people in Hudson county, it's surprising there aren't offices for corworking spaces. But I guess because of the demographics and most people absolutely not being in tech is the answer.
>It's not really possible to boycott Disney at this point

How not? I consume nearly no Disney media. My biggest consumption right now would likely be hulu, and that's a shared account that I don't pay for
No, it doesn't, and that's one of the most pernicious myths.

1. It's not free. Advertising is a $600 billion industry annually, with online over a sixth of that. This is largely imposed on the wealthier billion global inhabitants, so figure roughly $600 overall or $100 for Internet, per person, per year, if you live in the EU, US, JP, CA, AU, NZ.

2. Good content goes wanting. Advertising seeks to maximise eyeballs, not content quality. Good sites go wanting: LWN, Linux Journal, Nautilus, just off the top of my head. Markets and information are a poor match.

Unless you omitted a sarcasm tag?

All this points to me is the risks of owning a phone whose only way to add apps is to go through one company's own discretion. Unlike in Android where you can easily install apps from other app stores or just download the file.
The world has always had blurred lines between government corporation and individual.

There are too many examples to name but the big ones are the Dutch East India Company, Nationalized Railroads in the US in WWI and more recently the "Bailout" of banks in the wake of the real estate collapse.

What we've yet to see in history is a corporation that directly and openly challenges a state for sovereignty. I've written in the past that it would be technically possible for a large corporation to raise an army/navy,buy land and declare sovereignty, but that none deign to do it.
Terminal now available inside ZappJS – and other new features in v0.7
Ok, care to explain the math to me then? You sound like you know something I don't.
I'm late to the party, but I'm starting to see these drones as disruption in a true sense. They are annoying to individuals, empower surveillance efforts, help in myriad nefarious activities, and with on board autonomy/AI and falling prices, may be difficult to police. That said, they also offer game changing potential in photography, environmental studies, emergency efforts, logistics, and maybe even last mile delivery to residential.

Growing up with a love for RC cars, it's been hard to see drones as something more than a toy. After going to Maker's Faire in San Mateo two weeks ago, they are definitely here to stay.

Based on history, it’s by far more likely that it’s #3. Have we ever seen Apple prevent updates to an app globally due to government request (any government)? No... What we have seen are plenty of other reasons that Apple has rejected updates - like including new features that violate policies.

This really makes no sense on its face - if this is real Apple responding to Russian demands, why is Televram even available in the App Store at all?
Kansas is a world away from San Francisco (geographically and socially), New Hampshire shares a border.

New Hampshire still has municipal services despite much lower taxes. Of course, it varies but for someone making over $120k a year (many people in tech) the income tax is a huge lifetime burden that can likely eclipse any out-of-pocket differences.

ICO is short for Initial Coin Offering. And the coin is cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies are only valuable when they are not censorable. This is why there's a controversy around coins like XRP (from Ripple) because most of the coins are owned by Ripple and their architecture is designed in a way that they can very well censor transactions.

But even Ripple pales in comparison to something like Telegram, because Telegram is a mobile chat app, which is as centralized as you can get. Not only does it depend on iOS and Android, but also all push notifications must go through APN (Apple Push Notification) or FCM(Google Messaging). In fact, messaging apps are arguably the most centralized apps out there because of these features. And this is why it's so easy to censor these apps.

So if your app can easily be censored, and if your coin is useless if your users can't use the app, what else do you think they were claiming?

Reporters who are reviewing products do. They might have 10 different blenders to review, and if there is a button that doesn't make sense a good response takes you from "2/10 the buttons don't make sense" to "9/10, the buttons are a little weird but once you get used to them..."

Even charging tourists at a mere $5 would exceed their $10m needs.

To contrast the pricing, The Vancouver Art Gallery charges $24 (membership for $90.) More often than not, I leave disappointed with the overall experience. That being said, they have expenses, and its not like I'm going several times per month.

If we could have the quality of the Met in Vancouver, I'd gladly pay $25+ per visit.

You entirely missed the point of my hypothetical, which was about immutable data structures like git employs.

As it turns out, our business also uses a git-like hash-chained commit log for our normal database. Deleting old entries would thus violate the integrity of our database. Is that now illegal under the GDPR?

I don’t think that saying “the article is a rant because it doesn’t make a serious effort to respond to counterguments” qualifies as yelling.

As for my point: in my opinion, the title promised something interesting, but the article didn’t deliver. It acknowledged that the standard committee and compiler writers disagree with its premise, but then simply asserts that the committee and compiler writers are wrong. I put it at DH3 ( http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html ).
In my opinion, it's best to choose a payment gateway for ecommerce simply by testing. Only then can you really see if this tool is for you! For example, g2a pay has such a trial period, you can register and check how they work
Installing apps outside an app store also introduces other risks, it's not exactly one better than the other. Personally I'd love to sideload apps, but seeing how big of a mess that was on desktops leads me to believe most users are better served by a gatekeeper.
> They did an ICO for a utility coin.

One of the major selling points of that utility coin was that it'll be automatically available for 200M active users of Telegram. Frictionless entry point into coins is a huge step forward.
Realtime IoT Analytics: Connecting Your Devices
Agreed. Also they have been trying to introduce insecure cryptography algorithms that are doing terrible in peer review and they won't detail the weakness of the algo or how to prevent attacks on it. I'm thinking its because they want to know the 0 days and keep it from everyone else.
Every time you use the term "serverless", a small, innocent puppy dies.

At least "the cloud" didn't mean anything. This is worse, because it's misleading. There's a server involved and you know it. Anyone who hears it for the first time initially thinks it means "oh, so there's no server involved, it either runs on the user's local machine or uses a peer-to-peer infrastructure".

Then you have to google around and find out that it actually refers to the notion of having someone else maintain the server for you, just as was the case for CGI scripts on shared web hosts people were writing 20 years ago. Only once you realise this does it start to make sense.
Honestly, I don't understand why there are still details missing from this story. Durov is willing to share that Telegram hasn't been able to ship updates, but not the full reason.

Have they been actively rejected (and thus, provided a rejection reason)? Or have Apple just stopped approving their updates silently?

If it's the former, I don't know what app store guideline says "well, Telegram is banned in Russia, and so no more updates." If it's the latter, then I can understand the frustration -- but we don't know which it is. This nuance is important.

For all we know, the answer is the former, and the app store rejection reasons are for completely unrelated issues. But as per usual, we don't know the full story.
Wow, I can very much relate to this. I moved to VT 5 years ago, and I just haven't been able to put my finger on why there's a disparity between my social life here vs. my former city.

Many people simply talk much slower, drone on, and are not socially aware of when a conversation becomes one-sided. I'm used to fast talking, quick-witted New Jersey style conversations. At work I'm often engulfed with these 5 minute lectures about random garbage that I don't particularly care for.
