> will do away with GitHub's current, open nature.

Apparently the Gnome folks concluded that GitHub was already too closed to even consider them in the competition for the question "Where will the Gnome project live in the future?"

GitLab won that competition, btw, and icrosoft wasn't even part of that calculus.
Visa Card Payments Failing in UK, EU, Highlighting Need for Decentralized Opt
Military, Federal, State govt. and even corporations all have dreaded over runs. It's bad all around.
Yes.

The name sfo07s13-in-f14 is mnemonic to Google engineers -- it's probably in San Francisco data center 7. Also, that server probably has both an IPv4 and IPv6 address. Also, sometimes IP addresses change but you want servers to keep their identity. So names are convenient.
>until Visa Europe was re-acquired[0] by Visa in 2015.

Sadly. Visa Europe had some quite good policies such as banning ATM surcharges. It also made the payment sector seem a bit more european, now it's back to the US-duopoly.

On topic: Visa Europe cards are denied when used in other countries outside of Visa Europe.

No one knows. That's the point.

An AI will eventually be much smarter than a human, so it doesn't matter how the human succeeds - it's enough to know that a human has succeeded even once.

Any OS-quirks you experience with Qt are likely the nature of cross-development (path separators, toolbars, sys-trays), stuff that you'd likely experience with any framework.

Qt's cross-platform support is amazing.
You would think so wouldn't you? But if you tell it you don't want one thing on your feed it is then supplemented by 10 others. It is virtually endless and there is no hiding all content that is not hand written by your friends and family.

E3 -- Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Stems from at least the 1990's. The MS behavior as opposed to the term can be argued to pre-date that decade.

I'll just remind people who may think I'm being old, crotchety, and living in the past, that this has been a repeated pattern of theirs that has resurfaced so often and reliably as to become considered by many to be a core component of MS culture. Repeated including in the face of DoJ prosecution and monitoring.

Lots of people look at IP addresses. Most of the people who find the "1e100.net" records in their network logs would have no easy way of knowing that 1.2.3.4 (or whatever) was a Google IP. The reverse lookup allows you to easily find out what domain it belongs to (1e100.net, which a Google search shows is a Google address).

You can also embed other information in the reverse name, such as the region, datacenter, floor, switch, rack, or unit number of the machine. It can be incredibly easy to locate the machine by just looking at its reverse name. "Oh, 1.2.3.4 is in us-east-1, on floor 3, in rack 27, unit 5. Let me go check the network cable."
This comment made me giggle at first, but then the truth hidden in the outlandish idea hit home and I cried a little bit.
Sounds fantastic. But I can already see a problem of poor people being disproportionately incentivized not to vote. Maybe the payment would be a tax reduction instead that affects everyone proportionally to their income.
Good governance is a loaded term. Good for who? Different stakeholders will frequently have opposing goals, desires, and needs. Cutting foodstamps program helps some by lowering taxes, but hurts others who need help. Then the argument moves into secondary effects, cutting foodstamps will make poor people better off because the economy will grow, or cutting foodstamps will hurt taxpayers because poor nutrition and financial instability fewer people will escape poverty. The problem becomes complex enough that no one really knows the answer and so even the smartest often just end up restating their preheld belief.

Markets are supposed to be efficient they match demand with production efficiently, or some such. Political demand needs to be matched with equal efficiency. Imposing good governance into a voting system will very likely create distortions.

When you say "Switching to Julia has vastly simplified some of our code", can you talk about the scope of what you use Julia for? Application code? Notebooks?
I don't understand why everyone is so down on this. I see this as a big win for average non-techie computer users in terms of privacy. Unlike many of us here, they're not going to take the time to set up a resolver or even click a checkbox hidden in preferences. Someone needs to take the first step in making encrypted DNS on _by default_. Once more people use it, other organizations that are in a more ideal position will follow and improve on it.
Amazing founder and a great company. I’ve worked for and with him before in prior ventures. One of the most intelligent and sincere people I’ve ever met.
It is safe to say that the current administration in Washington is incapable of making any intelligent decision based on facts. The current President is too much of an intellectual light weight; lacking the understanding and ability to grasp complex and nuanced issues he would have to have to handle a pan-epidemic. He also does not have the talent around him to help or make any decision that would be correct and wise during a pan-epidemic.

> A faster turnaround time for updates and bug fixes, enabled by removing the minutiae of developing cross-platform apps.

I'd say what you are arguing is "my team is better at JavaScript than Qml/JavaScript/C++", which is fine. It really boils down to what the team is most comfortable writing in.

That aside, Qt definitely wins when compared to Electron.
So am I, and I make less money but my standard of living isn't that much higher. Certainly less than I would expect making twice as much. Our HDI is the same. GDP per capita in the states is about 10k higher, but Gini is lower in Canada.
Assumption of good will is a trap that naive people fall into. If someone can take advantage of something, it will happen.
More like "gah, we're going to have to self-host git, aren't we"?
Oh, I think it sold well... and frankly, except the controllers felt a little cheap, and I had to have it on it's side for the controllers to work well. I do wish they'd have setup for a hardware refresh, as the platform used was still seeing some significant gains year over year.

I used it with XBMC/Kodi, and it worked well... Frankly the most transparent emulators for Atari/(S)NES/Sega I've ever used, which was very nice. The media playback at 1080p just wasn't very good, I went back to an HTPC. Currently using an NVidia Shield TV (first in a box experience I've liked enough to keep).

Of course it looks like Android TV platform is being abandoned and the ecosystem isn't great at all. Which is very disappointing to say the least. The Shield has/had a lot of potential and is the first device to work great, have good interoperability with the popular services, and decent options for small scale and personal applications on.

Who knows though, this Atari box could work well, but I'm not ordering now, if they start shipping and last a bit, will buy then. I've paid the early adopter price one too many times now.
> Americans in particular tend to buy way more car than they need, and the difference in price is on an order of magnitude that really does matter in the long run for many of us

Not only that, they trade it in (sometimes with negative equity) every ~5 years.

I buy old, used Lexus'. Pretty much all modern features, quiet, and a fraction of the new price. Change the oil, and the timing belt if applicable, it will last forever. But people treat cars so much like appliances these days.
The issue is that if you allowed all web scrapping you could DDOS websites and get a free out of jail card by telling "oh, we were simply scrapping some data and it glitched out".
sounds really useful, but to be fair, it doesn't really remove either. you're effectively just using the Tor network as freely available (but slow) signalling and TURN servers.
Let my haul out my frustration from some of the Obama-era "enforcement":

No jail? You fail.
maybe someone on the fraud detection end pushed a model with too high of a sensitivity
In fact I'm pretty sure Visa and Mastercard forbid charging a different price if customers pay in cash.
At last in California, there are codes in place for electric vehicles, which should cover both scooters and Segways.

For what its worth, dockless rental electric scooters are a completely different game than electric scooters (which came out a few years before the Segway). The (game changing) advantage is that once you finish the ride, you don't need to worry about keeping it with you securely.
If the Visa network is down, those options wouldn't work either, would they?

Not only the head start but they weren't a business, they did deep research for the sake of it. Not to sell it right away. Many said that mobileye and others were very crude systems.

>Rear Admiral Tim Ziemer, had been removed from his position as the head of global health security on the White House’s National Security Council after the Trump Administration cut funds for fighting pandemics.

The present administration isn't interested in preserving the status quo in the event of a pandemic. They are interested in preserving the whiteness of America. An epidemic that they can shape the response and resources around to cull the immigrant, native and slave-descended population would serve their supremacist vision.

TRAMP does not work like that. First it does not have a whole directory tree, rather it just caches the opened buffers so things like grep etc. must run remotely which sucks on a high latency link or could be much slower if the server is not very powerful VM. Second at least like 5 years ago when the last time I played with TAMP it worked really badly on an unreliable connections or when the laptop switches to different wifi network. If ssh connection hangs, the whole GUI often hangs and sometimes after reconnecting I had to throw away resent edits and reopen the buffer. It could be that nowadays things are better, but for me nothing beats my lsyncd + explicit remote command script. Even file completion works with trivial efforts. As paths in my local tree copy matches the remote paths, completing by files just works, and it is trivial to call completion scripts for remote command from the completion script for rc.

I tried that. It builds up quickly again, because you can only disable individual sources. I have no interest in tending a viral garden. If Facebook wants to keep me around they'll instate a binary option to disable all 3rd party content.

EROFS: introduce erofs file system
haha Skype fuggin RIP GitHub
The trend of working crazy hours to save as much as you can, living overly frugal, etc. will not always lead to happiness or fulfillment.

This speaks to a common fallacy: the notion that happiness is a permanent achievement. Many people believe that you work hard so eventually you can achieve a position where you live "happily ever after". That's however not how the brain works. Happiness is a reward mechanism for effort bearing fruit. Once you stop doing things to become happy, eventually the happiness goes away because the brain adapts to its situation (this also works in reverse, you can get used to surprisingly horrible situations). The trick to being happy all the time is doing new things that make you happy all the time.
Particularly with how they interact on GitHub now, it's quite impressive. I've reported issues for docs.microsoft.com, participated in discussions on Visual Basic development, etc. and while there's still definitely that corporate veil to some degree, they're extremely responsive, they're very active in responding to requests and discussing fixes.

I generally now hope that whatever Microsoft thing I'm dealing with somewhere ends up linking to GitHub, because everyone on the side of the company that's working with GitHub is pretty on point.

Which is what gives me some hope that they could manage this acquisition right: They're already doing GitHub the way GitHub should be done.
Hmm, would like a different human to try it.

There have been other instances of the AI box experiment where the dialog is public. Like this one https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/fbekxBfgvfc7pmnzB/how-to-win... .

Yudkowsky's original intention to not release the dialog was to prevent people from saying "I wouldn't have been swayed by that, therefore AI escaping is impossible!". Even if we grant the first part of the sentence, that an AI escaping is impossible doesn't follow. It's very much possible, and strong evidence is that only human-level intelligences have escaped the same situation.
