You can use timestamps from multiple services on the same data. There are many RFC 3161 timestamp services run by different organizations in different countries.

Wordpress could use time-stamping services to prove provenance on postings. That would be useful if Google paid attention to the timestamps.

That seems very likely.

The bike hire system in Copenhagen is underused -- most of the business is from tourists rather than locals, since most locals own a bicycle, or quickly buy one.

If the scooters become popular, the risk of theft will drop significantly, and then there's not much reason not to own one.
The trick to news and social media seems to be to adopt a pull instead of push model. Turn off all badges and notifications and deliberately check the sources you care about at opportune times. It helps to get rid of the feeling of being overwhelmed without requiring a complete disconnect.

Personally a big difference was only consuming proper newspapers in the morning instead of tv and news sites during the day. The quality of the information is greater and I don’t experience fomo as much.
I think absolutely the opposite: this is a hugely positive disruption in North American cities. Car-centric urban design is such a disastrous problem in so many ways: land use, pollution, cost and so on, that we need massive and immediate disruption that's not going to happen from government fast enough.

The amount of land used and traffic problems caused by these scooters is nothing compared to how much public space is dedicated to moving and storing cars for personal use and is a actually a massive improvement. Additionally, if you've seen their actual use patterns in cities like Washington D.C., because of their dock-less nature and ease-of-payment they are being used by lower-income populations that don't use bike share or other similarly centrally planned options.

Scooters are hugely benign civil disobedience that are helping with what is probably the biggest problems in the world: pollution from personal transportation, whether carbon or localized exhaust. I am cheering them on completely and hope to see more similar disruptions that help the world and make investors rich.
Given that the blockchain does not solve for human error, the argument for true immutability is not necessary a strict positive.
Probably the largest help for me personally, getting clean. My reality was, nearly every bout with depression was preceded by using some mood altering chemical. The bouts came on a daily basis. Downers like alcohol, weed, various pills actually induce depression. Weed was really hard to give up because it kept my ADHD in check. The uppers and psychedelics had the knock on effect of coming down afterward.

Twenty two years later, (about 8 years in the middle of that with a good therapist) and I'm not depressed any more. I feel a wide variety of emotions, compared to the two I had before getting clean, "Good" and "Bad". It was the hardest thing I've ever done, and the absolute best thing I've ever done.

I recognize and respect there are numerous ways to get clean and seek recovery. For myself, I still regularly attend a 12-step fellowship and work steps and sponsor other men in the program. I do this openly as an Atheist to boot. I fully acknowledge the low success rate of this program. I attribute my success to committing to a regular practice of connecting with recovery in a supportive environment of individuals seeking the same.

The closer your transportation form factor is to that of vehicles that we expect to be registered, insured, and not operated in a completely stupid manner the more rules you have to follow.

Scooters are held to a lower standard than electric scooters which are held to a lower standard than bikes which are held to a lower standard than (fully) electric bikes which are held to a lower standard than bikes with a Chinese 2-stroke kit which are held to a lower standard than 50cc commercial mopeds which are held to a lower standard than larger commercial moped which are held to a lower standard than motorcycles and cars.

The boundaries between classes are fuzzy and there's a lot of variability in expectations and enforcement but generally speaking the more rules you have to follow the less convenient.

You can't park a motorcycle in a bike rack (well you can but you'll have to make an involuntary contribution to local government if you do so) but nobody will care if you park a moped in a bike rack. You can't blow red lights and stops in a moped but most people won't care if you do it on a bike. It's generally not considered polite to ride a bike on the sidewalks but you can get away with an electric scooter most of the time.

The trade off of being able to get away with ignoring more rules is that the smaller form factors can't travel as far or as fast.
Did you consider incrementing the first letter instead of decrementing when choosing a name?
Addictions love to trick you into thinking you can't live without them. Also those interactions are like food without nutrients. You think you are getting sustenance but it's void and stuff stops working properly after a while.

Also, In general society has lied to us about what makes humans content. So there's weird thing happening where I'm doing everything the TV/Movies/Inst/FB told me would make me happy and I'm not. It's very confusing and depressing and can make you feel hopeless and empty.
Also, no serious 21st century psychologist or psychiatrist would consider Freud's theories to have any validity other than for interpreting Shakespeare plays. Freud's psychodynamic psychology has been long eclipsed by behavioral, cognitive, and evolutionary subfields that have much stronger experimental standards than Freud had (most of his hypotheses came from case sudies of a handful of his patients).

Big Money Rules
What the hell took them so long? I've tried 20 times to get into podcasts but there's a severe lack of usable apps to easily have access to them.
The execution and billing model is a bit different.

App Engine is great for full HTTPS servers, and is billed on an instance basis (it does scale to zero when unused)

GCF is great for responding to events in the cloud (Pub/Sub, Storage, webhook, Firebase database) and is billed on a per function execution basis.

The actual runtimes are quite similar, though GCF is still Node 6 based for now.

Because you might not like the associated drawbacks.

Linux (and the BSDs) have shown that a monolithic kernel can be modular and well-organized.

Mach’s descendants, L4, etc. have shown that if you want decent performance you either have to redefine “microkernel” or you have to put in an incredible amount of work to implement your simple design.
> When I asked Dominique Delport, the chief revenue officer, whether the company was profitable, he declined to say and suggested that dollar figures were the wrong way to think about Vice. “The company profit is to everybody who watches Vice, because they feel smarter,” he said.

Investors should run away as quickly as possible. If that quote from the Chief Revenue Officer isn't a red flag, I don't know what is.
Thanks for the response! You all are doing some good work.
> why do we have weeks, why 7 days per week

Because it is useful to divide up things into increments. 7 because there are 7 visible celestial bodies visible to the naked eye. Which the names derive from.

> What does tuesday mean anyway

Mars's day

> what is the exact definition of day

A singular rotation of the planet. Also known as a sidereal day. Or more simply put: sun goes up, sun goes down.

> could there be planets without "days"

Yes, these are known as tidally locked. Some planets have long days. Venus has a longer day than year (rotation of planet around parent star)

> I don't see a problem with this line of questioning. There is lots interesting to consider there.

Yes, but answers are also reasonably found. Don't just stop and think, but also seek. That's why we think differently about the person who is like "wow man, what even is Tuesday" and the person that discussed the historical reasoning and mythos that led to the naming of Tuesday and why having a seven day week is so pervasive throughout the world, leading back to ancients looking up at the sky (which was better than what most of us see, considering light pollution). Sometimes things are extraordinary and sometimes they are mundane.

There's a lot of usefulness into relying on historical knowledge. That's why we advanced so far. And by finding the breath of our current understandings you will find new and deeper questions.

Tldr: don't just question, find answers.
Transcendental meditation has been really powerful for me.
It’s incredibly mentally exhausting and you’ll miss several things that flag you as a comfortable human being in your own existence to others, thereby shortening your ability to function as a socially wholesome creature. (Note: I have an illness on the schizophrenia spectrum that works in a way requiring me to thoroughly examine fundamental aspects of reality. It is utterly exhausting.)
The GDPR has a lot of clauses that seem nonsensical to an end user, but actually setup a situation where those data collectors must reveal the true extent of their data or risk massive penalties by having falsely disclosed..

Until now there was no way to guage the truth in anything they tell you and no penalties for lies.
The name 'Serverless' really doesn't explain the concept. Basically it means you dont have to worry management of servers, and you only do low effort work by out sourcing most of your logic (authentication, db, etc) to 3rd party APIs and vendors.
Network effects don't only depend on quality. Is basically the summation of this whole debate.

If you had 2 teams and both could start from 0 and spend 5 years to develop an operating system most people would probably pick some version of microkernel design.
One approach would be to use the existing Go parser packages and modify them to suit your needs. Unfortunately (last time I checked) the standard library packages for this (go/ast, go/types, etc.) differ from the actual packages used by the Go compiler. But they might be close enough to suit your needs.
I'm curious whether you had in mind any kind of benchmarks (which have not been implemented) for checking size and/or performance differences...
Sequoia Capital China Said To Invest In Bitmain's $400M Round At $12B Valuation
Ugh, Google Reader wasn't a "huge part of the web," it was a product offered by a company. If GR and RSS were basically equivalent then Google was right to conclude that RSS wasn't popular. RSS is an open standard and GR never had any compelling competition even though it should have if RSS were used widely at all. That people are still angry over this shows how out of touch many developers are with the real world / average consumers.
Sounds like this is basically PCF/Docker for Google?

If I publish accidentally a package with rm -rf / in the post installation script, a number of people will angry at me and frankly, I would understand them.

That being said, aside from distribution packages, always look at the pre/post (un)install scripts for external packages.

rpm -qp --scripts <PACKAGE>.rpm

dpkg is a little less convenient but:

ls control.tar.* # <<< check that no file like that already exists

ar -vx <PACKAGE>.deb

tar -xvf control.tar.*

for i in pre* post;do printf "\n>>> %s\n" "$i";cat $i;done

rm -f conffiles control control.tar. data.tar.* debian-binary md5sums postinst postrm
prerm postrm

In most cases if the script is huge, the packaging tends to be horrible and generally, the quality of the software is also not that great.

Another good indicator is the installation path:

dpkg -c <PACKAGE>.deb

rpm -qpl <PACKAGE>.rpm

If there is no effort made by the editor to follow the FHS or at least be nice and put its messy bundle inside /opt/<COMPAGNY>, it's generally a bad sign.

Proprietary software tends to be quite horrible in that regard, I'm still traumatized by the trendmicro serverprotect rpm (AV for linux).

Their losses look like this over time:

$889m -> $675m -> $2b -> ??? (a cool $710m in the 1Q so annualized like you did with revenue would be ~$3b).

They have ~$2.8b in the bank, so that's about a year if things continue like they have been, less if they hit a snag. Which is why Elon is firing people left and right.
I think generally speaking, the answer is no.

A normal number [1] is pretty close to what you're describing. Although there are a lot of normal numbers, theoretically, they are very difficult to construct, and equally difficult to prove normality. Unfortunately, proving non-normality is also difficult, although the wikipedia article has some examples of base-10 normal numbers and a couple of examples of irrational non-normal numbers.

I could be wrong, but I don't think BEAM really runs on microcontrollers. Erlang might be a good environment on the same sorts of micros (32 bit, dozens of KB of ram) MicroPython targets.
Standard, in my opinion, is still the best bet of you want most of the things out of the box from GCP. Flex does allow a lot of customization but you miss out on Memcache, Task Queues, Auto tracing in Stackdriver etc which are sometimes really backbone of your highly scalable architecture given that you don't want to manage your own infrastructure.
> once Google has control of the web

How does this even make sense?

This is like saying "Once flying squirrels take control of the government...".

Sure, a government controlled by flying squirrels is something scary. But that doesn't make any sense.

You should be scared of walled gardens displacing the web.
Doesn't answer your original question but I moved to syncthing from dat. It just works out of the box, no manual setup, and a very active community around it. Also opensource and in production for years with rave reviews, and being used in plenty of big scale production projects.
You're leaving out a key point: Linux is not a company and Linus's "career" does not depend on a company. It depends on enough individual people choosing to work on Linux to keep it technically competitive. I have not seen any sign of Linux suffering technically because people who could make valuable contributions are not doing so.
The risk of HPPD seems to be very related to frequency of use, dosage, how strongly the substance binds to the receptor, and the anxiety levels of the person taking it.

It's a risk that should be taken very seriously, but if you're just taking a low dose of mushrooms once a year or so it's not a huge risk.

I think the last bullet point you listed must be really helpful. I don't remember where I read it, but I recently heard Hemingway used to do something similar where he would write to a point that he really wants to continue, then stop for the day, so tomorrow morning he excitedly picks back up and finishes what he was so excited to write the day before. I feel like that's probably an incredibly effective habit for keeping a streak going
1-2 per week at the gym.

Get out and workout in nature.

Meditation daily with Calm.

Reading some history books.

I eat healthy and simple food(potatoes, rice, soup, banana).

I plan instead of reacting.

Less materialistic and more spiritual.

Always thinking and finding the cause of my depression and getting rid of it.

Until now, everything seems to be ok.
You can't think of a single instance where people have thought poorly of business guys for firing people?
> how to achieve consensus on a distributed ledger without trusting any participant

The problem is that that is just a solution in disguise as a problem. Why do we need to achieve consensus on a distributed ledger without trusting any participant? It works, I think, for bitcoin because the ledger is an end unto itself and didn't have to interface with any existing system (no existing accounts/items/entries to assign to existing owners).
Thanks for bringing up the accessibility point. I had some issues in the past where I needed to use some accessibility features and it gave me massive appreciation for the people/platforms that worked hard to make them usable for everyone.
That claims you know what's going on at Tesla, which you don't. So you can't make such a statement.
One thing that actually helps me is meditation. So long as I meditate every single day without skipping a day I can go a long time without anxiety and depression. Longest I've lasted was year and a half. If I stop meditating I will gradually revert to my old habit self and then anxiety returns including strong depression once or twice a year.

Maintaining mental health with meditation drags every other aspect of myself into the same basket, I stop eating meat and eat lots of vegetables and fruit, I drink only water and don't consume anything processed, sweats etc. and I exercise 7 days a week.

Then I get better, physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally and I feel like nothing can beat me. Then I skip a day of meditation, then two days and before you know it I'm eating burgers from McDonald's and skipping exercise, drinking Red Bulls and smoking. Then I'll have anxiety/panic attacks before bed, insomnia, depression and after struggling with myself for a year I'd change my lifestyle again.

But then I get well again and forget about the struggle and the cycle repeats. It's a living hell.
I have one of the #2's. It's certainly possible to cut yourself. I actually cut myself on purpose just to be sure it was safe, and it wasn't too bad ;-) It was an actual cut, not an abrasion, but not deep. I've gotten myself on accident a few times too. Never too badly.
Thanks, that’s a good answer :)
That's exactly the kind of dismissive, arrogant nonsense that I won't bother reading, even if it is the formula to an infinite life:

I do agree. But the trend/courage should be toward informative programming (how OS works, how DB works, how file systems works, ...). What we see now is exactly the opposite. Programmers are becoming more ignorant day after day. Even worse, people get credit for running away from C/C++/OCaml/Rust/,...
Yeah, ask anyone outside of hacker news if they ever heard of Google Reader. Or RSS.

Nobody.
I upvoted you and wish you all the best, but the core problem I see with this is that it makes it hard to make policy around.

If I'm making a new system or setting policy for a government or other high-security minded client (like a political campaign, military contractor, activist group, or private intelligence corp) I need off the shelf stuff with zero known attack surface OR I need to individual vet every single offering within that protocol suite. This is why you can email members that work for The Government of Ontario, but they won't click on links to non-whitelisted places. The attack surface when clicking a link is fucking huuuuuge (pdf 0days anyone?), while the attack surface for loading an email is much smaller.

There are a ton of interesting web-replacements that hackers are playing around with right now, but the one that wins for the next web is the one that lets stupid people do whatever they want without worrying. In my opinion, 3rd party means worrying, and in an ideal world it would go away.

The irony of this whole thing is that I'm actively arguing against my own long-term interests. A structural change of the kind I advocate for would dramatically reduce the profitability of being in either data science or cybersecurity; both fields I have a foot in. But I don't care.

Securing the flow of information between people is too important to humanity's long term survival.

I'm not saying "invest in simple metrics". I'm explaining how a typical evaluation is done. The original poster's evaluation is fundamentally nonsense.

> If you do a quick math let's say they sold 400,000 Tesla (which they haven't yet) at an average of $100,000 each (which is probably lower) its net worth comes around $44B.

This line just doesn't make sense at all. There's no metric I'm aware of that matches this methodology.
"various restrictions on them, such as displaying authorship, or reciprocation, or patent grants."

Those are for the greater good. Saying you are not allowed to use the source code for commercial reasons is discrimination and that isn't allowed according to OSI. I'm cool if you don't wanna use OSI as a rule of thumb; but then my alternatives are FSF's free software definition, or DFSG.

We're discussing source code; so whether something is OSS or not refers to open source software; OSS. The last S is usually omitted, but it still refers to open source software.

> I think almost everyone would agree that CC-BY and GFDL are open source licenses, despite them not being on that list.

These have nothing to do with open source. They might be in the spirit of open source at best (in the situation of GDFL and text), but that's it. Documentation cannot be open source, and GDFL can actually be harmful in that context.

Related, it was recently discovered that there is a limit to how much sugar you can (comfortably) consume, unless you are a child. In children there is no limit.
But then, you have a single, specific focus for the "downvote"

Cause that's what we're talking about, Willis. Downvotes and how they require none of the emotional or mental energy you seem to be willing to spend on them. It's a complete waste of time, at least, given the purpose of the site and we have rules to remind us what a complete waste of time it is.
