It worked on all phones ranging from S40 to the most modern OS, and it was the one who invented the concept of no username/account/manually adding contacts/password login..., but just a phone number and you're ready to go.

Spikes are not necessarily proofs of concept or prototypes. A spike is simply a task aimed at gathering information.

We are all dying. We are all condemned. So if you're going to use such emotional words, at least ground it in real-world examples.

Here's a real-world example - https://www.livescience.com/4040-dying-desperate-lure-quack-... .

People in the US in the last months of their lives, in desperation, go to Mexico for "treatment" by methods which have never ever worked.

> One hospital we visited offered homeopathic treatments. (Homeopathy is a form of quack medicine essentially based on the mystical principle of "like cures like.")

> Another, respectable-looking hospital offered such "alternative" treatments for cancer as shark cartilage, mega-doses of vitamins, and "prayer therapy." The hospital also offered Laetrile, a notorious cancer treatment discredited by repeated scientific studies.

> ... Donsbach's clinic had a reputation for providing questionable medical procedures, including "ultraviolet blood purification," colonics (a potentially dangerous colon-irrigation therapy), and the use of microwaves to "heat" cancer cells.

This is what you want, everywhere, yes?
Not in this case. 99% of what you find on ebay should be subject to import compliance rules, import tax, and sales tax for the place where the buyer lives. Same for Amazon. They are slowly giving in on 1 of those 3.

Ebay and Amazon have always claimed that any transaction happening on their systems was akin to selling your grasmower to your neighbor. Because, as far as they knew, that was what's happening. They only introduce buyer and seller and have nothing to do with what happens next.

Perhaps this was a semi-reasonable assumption before ebay got into accepting payments (and created several billion dollar companies with that act). For Amazon, I don't understand how this was ever accepted, but I'd bet a great deal of money Jeff Bezos somehow had assurances this interpretation was going to stick. It would have been very, very painful otherwise.

I'm pretty sure no lawyer in 1995 (or now) would have advised you in writing that this is a reasonable approach to take.

Seems to me that the main problem you're running into is the network effect Messenger/WhatsApp/etc have.

Sure, there's some wonderful chat clients out there, but the average person wonders why they need any more when 99% of their friends, family members, frenemies, estranged highschool classmates and so on are already easily reachable on Messenger.

Even the most wonderfully accessible and user friendly app is still another app that I need to take the time to understand. It's another app for which I need to endure the endless parade of 2.0 rewrites and UI overhauls. It's another app I need to figure out where I want to place on my home screen.

I've mused on this in relation to github's pages sitting on the gh-pages branch: a feature I like in the abstract, though I have problems with their implementation (it seems designed to increase lock-in rather than increase flexibility). I'm not sure the VCS needs to build in those tools, but having an established branching convention for associated data could allow many flowers to bloom.

The cost of connecting the thing via submarine cable to a suitable land point is likely to be a lot higher than you think.
The expression "case in point," like the expression "exempli gratia," explicitly offers that a certain thing is an example of a phenomenon, not justification for it.

Therefore, while it is extremely interesting to ask if concentrating power is a cause or consequence of institutional rot, I don't think we can complain about a sample size of 1 if the argument doesn't say that this one case proves the effect.

But yes, it is extremely interesting to ask whether removal of oversight causes rot, or if it is a consequence of rot. In other words, if we randomly appoint certain successful CEOs to chair their own boards, will their companies do worse than a control group that retain separate governance?

Hard to conduct that experiment, but it would be interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

There's not much to disagree with on the second point unless you think the data are just spurious correlations, which evidence is increasingly indicating that they are not. Society has a whole has seen a major net negative effect from social media. This does not mean that social media should not exist, or even that it should be regulated. But rather that appeals to it being a good thing (in net effect) are questionable at best, and most likely just completely wrong.

I'm already quite excited about the likely documentary that will follow in a few years. There are just so many elements that one can't see from just reading the news.
They've most likely been mislead by very poor advice on marketing communications. Under GDPR a company can rely on "legitimate interest" as their lawful basis for processing for marketing purposes. However, this ignores the older PECR rules that say that electronic marketing requires consent.

Requiring users to agree to the a new privacy policy or updated terms and conditions is obviously still fine. GDPR does not restrict companies from requiring that their users agree to terms as part of their provision of services.

As far as I can tell from this post, the only problem is that GitLab have used the guidance for postal marketing when they're doing electronic marketing. Yes, it's not compliant, but references to the UDHR and the general tone of this suggest the user has a prior grievance and they're trying to over-inflate this issue.

Under GDPR they must disclose to their users this security problem because they could have a potential data breach.

This situación should be handled by the Data Protection Officer (DPO) the company must have either a) con payroll or b) as contractor.

If I were you, I would report this anonymously to avoid beign sued.

Even better: talk to your lawyer and ask him/her to report anonymously the incident for you.

I have been un court as a designed expert and the concept of accidentally discovering a vulnerability is hard to explain to law people.

Other developers / security people will understand it, but DPOs are usually lawyers that report to the board that is composed of lawyers...

Maybe or it could be that they don't have a data compliance officer, which is mandated by the GDPR.
Or it could be that they just don't know what the issues are and have no clue how to get compliant. IP addresses are protected data and make you a data controller if you have log files.

The index is just a cache of the metadata of files in the working directory; changing how the objects in the repo are stored won't speed up a 'git status'.

When you say 'read the repo', it makes me think you're more interested in the behaviour of cloning from a remote.

Loose objects would avoid the need to inspect packfiles, but… that code's all written in C and mmaps the contents & does fast seeks. Most likely the slow parts are reconstituting objects from packs (also mmapped C with fast seeks) or delta-compressing objects for git-upload-pack to send to clients. Going to loose objects doesn't help if the remote still burns CPU creating a pack: try using a dumb remote instead of a smart one? You're trading CPU for network now.

If you're more interested in improving performance in a clone: loose objects avoids the need to (fast mmapped C) read a packfile. The index still has to track if you've changed any checked-out file in the working directory, and if there are a lot of files, it's going to be big.

Sourcegraph CEO here. We have many customers using Phabricator with our Sourcegraph Phabricator extension, which adds code intelligence (hovers, definitions, references, implementations), and search to Phab diffs. It makes reviewing code pretty magical since you have IDE-like context.

If you are considering switching from GitHub to Phabricator, definitely give this integration a try. Would love to hear feedback! Will post a demo video soon.

Also, your company's accounting information can be sensitive, and hence you may not want to share that information with Intuit (and whoever they choose to share/sell it to).

> Mint on the otherhand, detects the income by scanning all accounts, automatically categorizes it, etc etc.

Does this mean that you literally hand over your online account log in details to Intuit? Or how is this "scanning" done?

Well worth a road trip! Best part is that Estonia is surprisingly small :)
The bootstrap problem isn’t generally solved though - a new client needs to know a set of other clients to connect to, same with a client that’s been turned off for a while and whose cached set of other clients aren’t online. This is solved by an always-on set of clients that these clients are statically configured with.

In theory, yes, if they go down, you could configure your client to point at another well-known client, though.
Quantum computing for policymakers and philosopher-novelists
My battery started failing on my 2016 Macbook Pro. I took it in and Apple said it would take 5 days to fix. I found a loaner macbook, but didn't want to setup a whole development environment to use for just a week. So I used Google Cloud Platform with an Ubuntu 16.04 desktop with remote access over chrome remote desktop. It was ungodly fast, and just for fun I cranked it up to 8 cores. It's nice to know that if anything ever happens to my physical laptop, I can just power up my cloud instance and keep working without skipping a beat.

Linux was fantastic, except for two things.

1. Sketch. All the competitors aren't even close to being up-to-par, and it's become an industry standard.
2. Docker and permissions. I can't believe it was so much harder to deal with docker in Linux than MacOSX. I constantly struggled with docker creating files as root. Even when I explicitly defined the $UID or $USER for docker-compose, I would still see the docker image that ran a Rails instance create files owned by root in `log` and `tmp`.

I highly recommend trying out Ubuntu in the cloud to give Linux a trial run, you might be surprised by what you love and hate.

The way this is formulated it looks like an automated response from an advertisement bot.

Also you know that Mint is a proprietary company which keeps and uses your data as it pleases, right? That's a huge difference to any open source tool which allows you to keep your company's data inside your company. If it uses a good file format you can also automate everything if desired.

Second, Mint sadly is not supported in many countries. If you are in the US, fine. But if you are not, e.g. your corp has a shop in Germany, then you simply can't use it at all.

I think the basic idea though is the difference between the "pay someone else to solve your problems" vs "solve problems yourself" approaches/mindsets. Each of them has their clear advantages and disadvantages and I hope we don't have to reiterate them here.

Why Microsoft’s acquisition of GitHub is a good thing for developers
I wonder whether the user-friendly features of sites/services like GitHub might eventually be displaced by feature-rich git clients like Tower[0].

There are still plenty of things you might want centralized on a server somewhere, but it seems like a lot of the value add of GitHub, GitLab, and now Gitea is in making git repos easier to manage and interact with.

It's interesting to think about how far you could decentralize that, ideally with a "cambrian explosion"[1] of OSS and indie-software clients.
