I was going to reply with some cynical remark about how the hole we are digging is deeper now than ever, and would take radical changes to climb out of, but I really like your positive spin on this. I'll try to consider it from that perspective moving forward.
This is wrong in at least two respects.

1) X can be morally desirable and yet yield as a consequence effect Y, without thereby vitiating X. That is, the problem clearly isn't 'gender equality'. If you think there really is a problem - and I'm doubtful because it's more than offset by environmental factors - then it's on account of something else: the fact that women have to choose between work and home life, the anti-social work ethic forced upon everyone by capitalism, etc.

2) Some early feminists argued in favour of the pill because of its dysgenic potential. They believed it could be used to lower the birthrate of racial/class inferiors. 'Feminism' is an incredibly diverse ideology.
Aha, that was exactly it! Scary stuff.

No, I believe that Bitcoin is going through a more general adoption wave.

So yes, it was in a bubble last year, but it is all part of a larger adoption pattern. It is the same way Amazon stock was in a bubble from 1998 to 2000 when its value rose from $3 to over $100 and back down to $5, but where is it today?
They do. Objective C is a superset of C.
I wonder, not long ago there was a c++ conference were two Microsoft employees were talking about the Office mobile apps and how they developed it [1]. They said that they developed the main part in c++ and the ui part in the respective ui platform (cocoa/android ui framework).

Would be interesting why they moved from this approach to React native.

> Note that there is a complex canonicalisation procedure for the JSON object, and that the sender must mutate the signed object;

This is a big no-no and actual source of vulnerabilities. If you sign something, the signature goes around what you want to sign.[1] Doing "in-line" signatures is excessively more complex and error-prone. The easiest and most secure scheme is actually "sign a blob of bytes", i.e. signing a packed representation of a message. That way, you get zero ambiguity issues as far as signature-content interactions go [2], and you don't actually need a canonicalized message representation any more (which is not a common feature of serialization formats outside ASN.1 encodings).

There might be other reasons to not use UMF, but this one is completely sufficient to avoid it.

(Also calling HMAC tags "signatures" is confusing as heck and should be avoided.)

(Also the actual method of how the MAC is calculated is not specified; so clearly UMF is not a format, it is a meta-format.)

[1] Even JWT got that right.

[2] Context ambiguity AKA The Horton Principle remains, because that's not something a format solves.
> Most cities require you to show ID to use internet.

Complete nonsense; aside from cities in the UK not having any powers to control a thing like that (they are no way near as devolved as big cities in the US, for example) there is no legal obligation to provide ID to access the internet. I think you might be referring to a recent proposal to legislate online activity through access cards; but that was a proposal that has no backing at the moment.

No Net Neutrality, without Free Speech for online content.

I was a raging Net Neutrality supporter, but now I don't really care given Twitter/YouTube/Facebook abuse of neutrality towards speech.

No neutrality for words, but neutrality for packets? No wonder Net neutrality lost steam this time around.
Who's hating fat people? This is just reality - heavy people weigh more, the Segway motors can't handle the weight.

I had a Native American friend who asked me for help with digitizing cassette tapes of certain ceremonies. I transferred them, cleaned them up a bit, and burned audio cds for him.

I then deleted all my own copies as he requested. He asked that since the ceremonies were for his people that I not keep them for myself, and I respected that.

Or chalk it up as just another one that got away."

I am more than happy on two events, seeing if the FTC truly does resume their role as watch dog and prosecutor and seeing what Congress may end up doing.

With regards to all the panic and irrational reactions, we got to 2015 before the FCC decided to rewrite some rules and not others and we did fine. The FTC with FCC cooperation did work.

there are more than two sides to this argument and why we favor content providers exclusively over service providers would need to be addressed as well.

even some of the big high flying rollouts stalled or stopped when the rules first changed but it was fun watching many of them dance around the reasons.(FIOS and Google fiber pretty much are nothing). 5G is not a valid excuse. People decry the lack of high speed internet (the definition changes based of the techs savvy of who you talk too) but as someone who does a lot of road trips you would be amazed where you cannot get a cell signal and how often it happens

I also don't see the issue with it. You can have a uniform style in your project, regardless of dependencies you use. And what's the flipside? People want to use more than one identifier named the same thing only with different case?

You're forgetting about the army of hackers who are propping up the value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

As our software systems get more complex and as we become more reliant on them, hackers become increasingly influential politically and economically.

Very interesting. I just broke up with a woman who I now think may have been sociopathic, or at the very least extremely selfish, due not only to the utterly cold way she dumped me, but looking back, many many other cues I ignored.

She had no real interest in music whatsoever. She played some awful Top 40 crap in her car, but I think it was just to avoid having silence. She was never interested in hearing me play anything (I play guitar), never expressed any real interest in particular bands or anything.

It’s DRM. The widevine conf they are using means they are decrypting and decoding in software when you use Chrome or Firefox. When you use Edge you use a different DRM scheme that allows allows decrypting, decoding and rendering in hardware so Netflix offered content upto 4K in Edge with Recent Intel CPU’s. (Last time I checked Ryzen has only just come out with no onboard GPU. But support for recent Nvidia GPU’s was promised, it’s been a while so the landscape may of well changed) If you didn’t have the latest Intel CPU it called back to an older version of PlayReady (sure that’s the brand name of MS’s DRM - on phone and a bit lazy to look it up) that still surported 1080.

See in Widevine there are a number of “levels”, the highest being when it can decode, decrypt and push to the frame buffer all in a secure zone. This can not be achieved (atm, well atleast the time of my research into the matter) with widevine on Desktop, so in such a setup widevine will only decrypt upto 720p content.

When running on Android and ARM this is possible and you can get 1080p, which is why you can get cheap android based tv sticks (even the old Amazon Fire TV sticks) supported 1080p but your gaming rig and Chrome could not.

Don’t work for Widevine, Google, NetFlix or anyone else for that matter. Just a nerd with too much time on my hands so I looking into this stuff. Any corrections welcomed :-D

Homeschool Advantages-Why You Should Do Homeschooling
The reasoning seem to be "as we don't have enough data, lets conclude whatever I want".

The Fermi paradox assumes that if there are aliens more advanced than us somewhere for a long time, they should be here by now. Maybe more advanced technology enables interstellar travel (maybe not, maybe is not practical at all), maybe they may not have all our motivations (expansion, technological advancement in our own focus, exponential growth, etc), maybe they don't want to expand or announce themselves because they went cyber or try to pass unnoticed in the dark forest, or things that we can't even imagine yet, as we are not advanced enough.

We just don't have enough data to give a meaningful answer. And maybe never will. The only way to decide if we are alone in the universe or not is actually finding someone else. But with so much outside our physical or practical line of sight we can't just say that there is no one else because we didn't see anything.
A very limited number of features have improved (e.g. if you have HepC). At the same time there has been massive price inflation for things that are marketed as "improvements" without convincing evidence of actually being better (e.g. nexium vs prilosec, many medical devices).

Piping curl to bash is equivalent to running a remote code execution exploit against yourself. Even if you implcitly trust the endpoint, do you trust that they will remain uncompromised forever? Also, it's especially silly because it's never the best or only way of accomplishing a given task, so it serves only to shoot yourself in the foot.

I meant my advice just for Double_a_92. By reading what he wrote I just think he might have trouble finding happiness in life until he outgrows the issue of money.

This advice is not meant to be generalized. A lot of people are perfectly capable of appreciating human beings in their life for what they are not for the bottom line they provide or cost and services rendered by them and can lead happy and harmonious life even with strain on resources. I'm just afraid that Double_a_92 is not one of those people, thus my advice.

I'm not sure what you mean. Surplus is built on S.js, in which all data is lifted into reactive expressions. S.js already handles that for you but at the data model level, where it arguably should be, not at the UI model level.
There used to be this thing called software engineering. You are presented a problem and you or a team come up with possible solutions choosing carefully the right tools and components for the job.

Now we are entering the everything as a service era which includes software engineering. Instead of designing a solution you download someone else's, duct tape on a few packages, tweak variables and publish it.

You can also blame the breakneck pace demanded by today's tech sector where everything needed to be deployed yesterday in order to beat the other guy to the silicon valley millionaire finish line.

There's no real incentive for regular BitTorrent clients to spend the development time to add support, because the only ones with something to gain are WebTorrent users.

Existing BitTorrent clients, on the other have something to lose:

* WebTorrent peers are less likely to be connectible (behind NAT etc.)

* WebTorrent peers are more likely to "hit and run" (by navigating away from the page, you stop seeding)

* WebTorrent peers are more likely to favor sequential downloads instead of rarest first (for in-browser playback)

Being incompatible with regular BitTorrent means it does not get any utility from existing swarms (unless regular BitTorrent clients gain widespread support; unlikely).

This means WebTorrent is mostly relevant for content delivery, for use cases a site offloads bandwidth usage onto their uses (like PeerTube, for example), and the site itself always runs a seed.
Guns are banned, which is a benefit, yet I was taught to shoot at school. The few cases of people being jailed for attacking their attackers have generally involved pursuing them, or otherwise continuing to attack when not actually in danger.

I think that's an attitude that's based on how one sees one's sense of self. If you have to function primarily by basically, being reminded of yourself through people who act like you used to, then you don't have the same perception of what a self is, or what an attitude is. Because you see how attitudes build through attitudes beyond your control.
Hmm, right now I truly don't (that's the business requirement :-/). I'll investigate, thank you.

Testosterone is an important hormone for women too. If you're concerned, it makes sense to go talk to an endocrinologist. They can do a broad panel of tests and let you know if anything is out of wack.

true, but Apple had its dark days too, and fundamentally much of their vision was the same back then as it was when they hit it big -- user friendly, design forward, closed ecosystem, etc.

Also, Tesla does well between car development cycles. If they can ride it out, they can print money too. The problem is whether they can get BETTER at developing new cars with less investment, and ramping more quickly, driving true volume. They might print money for a few quarters once Model 3 production is up, but that depends on there being an endless stream of buyers, and in cars, we know that's not the case.
