I'm annoyed equally by the space they take up and their presence.

We pulled an old camera out to donate the other day and I popped the SD card in my laptop to see what might be on the card. It was a 1GB card "full" of photos my kid took on one of our vacations. I say "full" because there was a 125mbs of files Finder left wasting space on it.

That's easily 25 photos that weren't taken. What shots did we miss because the SD card was "full"?
Concerned this is intended for doxing.
Because then you have to decide who you are going to trust to run the database.
No, because the cost of switching between the two is roughly zero. If switching took 6 months and $100K there would be lots of articles in the hole digging community about when and why to pick between the two.
And "memorialization" just makes it so that the account can't post, log in, etc - but other people can still post to that account's "wall" - "we miss you" messages, etc.
Let's not go too far.

The science on fasting as a diabetes treatment seems legitimate (even if early/still evolving), but claiming it cures other "incurable diseases" seems unsupported (particularly if you don't specify WHAT diseases).

Weight loss in general helps combat some other illnesses like high blood pressure, and while fasting might be a means to that end (i.e. weight loss) I've not read studies that looked at if fasting is more beneficial than other forms of weight loss.

Heck, even the fasting diabetes thing is very young science, I wouldn't call even that conclusive yet.
You make fair points. The biggest issue here is YouTube's recurrent communication problem. Blender and MIT Open Courseware, I am almost sure, were blindsided by this change. They would have worked out a plan ahead of time otherwise. Just like so many other Youtubers blindsided by all the new rules, so were they. That, fundamentally, is user hostile.
> I don't think Vue would scale well

It kinda bothers me when people say X won't scale (implying that React is somehow special in this regard).

For one thing, we're not talking about things like database throughput where you can actually have scalability bottlenecks.

If we want to talk about scaling maintainability, React is definitely not much of a poster child either, compared to other solutions I've used over the years. We got a new context API only recently to deal with concerns Angular had already accounted for years ago, and things like the Enzyme adapter state of the world is pretty terrible - and don't even get me started on React Router migrations :)

IMHO, one major thing Vue did right that React didn't which has an impact on scaling maintainability is that Vue owns its most important peripherals (data management via vuex, styling via single file components, animations, etc). In my experience, the React model (also adopted by webpack and babel) is a real pain in the ass to support at scale as a web platform engineer, because many times you're at the mercy of some random dude with no connection to the core project and you end up having to settle with bizarre makeshift configurations, fork things or do other nasty things to get around random design direction changes.
A more general approach to building a marketplace would be to allow individuals to voluntarily register their interests and selected personal information with a web business, which then could then sell access (but not the information) to advertisers. This would be an alternative to Facebook and similar means for exploiting personal information while it would retain the individual's control of their privacy.
Unless I'm misunderstanding what is happening here, it stores the thumbnail cache in a subdirectory of `$TMPDIR` which at least on my machine is `/var/folders/.......`.

So it would seems this is only a concern if you had a secondary drive that was encrypted but a root volume (or some other volume mounted to `/var/folders`) that was unencrypted.

I don't think this is much of an issue TBH, if you're concerned about data access your root volume should be encrypted already.
I don't think Blender is providing any personal information in the video.

Not to mention that you can upload it from a burner account and device in a cafe.

Oh, and you always have to option, well, not to upload it.
No it's not. Windows 10 will not store caches or trash from an encrypted drive on an unencrypted one. I'm not sure what you gain by using a "but-what-about" defense to explain away an Apple security failure.

Good post; a lot to unpack.

This administration's objections to the AT&T/TWC merger was probably rooted in television because the administration's opinions about net neutrality are rather well-known; it's doubtful they'd see the eventual outcome, if they even envisioned it, as problematic or anticompetitive -- and that's just the charitable reading that omits the Predient's own upset over the future of CNN, which too reinforces approaching the subject with a television lens.

That being said, it is somewhat ironic that zero-rating was never considered outright problematic by Wheeler's FCC [1] (or the EFF [2]) and the FCC resolved to investigate zero-rating practices on a case-by-case basis. They let some of them fly, but admonished several others, even in the last few days of Wheeler's term [3]. Then, Pai predictably stopped all such investigations when he took office [2].

In this favorable regulatory climate, it's no wonder that zero-rating looks like a valuable tool that businesses can leverage to make their offerings seem more attractive versus their competitors, making past predictions about a future of vertically-integrated content silos and delivery networks [4][5][6][7][8] seem a bit less like quackery.

As an added complication, it is much more difficult to explain to laypeople why zero-rating is problematic, than other topics that can fall under the wider umbrella of 'net neutrality'. Zero-rating is perhaps the most popular facet of delivery that doesn't adhere to net neutrality, attracting a wide range of supporters [9], including many that support missions that are helped or enabled by no-cost access to information. Once zero-rating is commonplace, efforts to undo it will be more politically challenging than the previous net neutrality debate.

>What I'd like is to be able to write a compiler that could understand the difference between as-fast-as-possible code (most code) and constant-time code, and build the latter correctly.

If you want your compiled code to rely on the internal design of the CPU then its going to be tightly coupled to one particular CPU. CPU Upgrade -> code no longer works. Oh you ran the software on your laptop which has Core i5 instead of Core i7 -> Code no longer works. Oh your S/W Vendor went out of business and you purchased a new machine with a different CPU -> No working code for you.

>There are other holes, sure. That's not a reason not to fix the biggest hole.

OK, please propose a solution then. Or are we merely arguing over hypotheticals and lamenting the fact that stuff isn't secure? If so, yeah, stuff isn't as secure as any of us would like it to be! That doesn't get us anywhere though.
Nice try... Zeuxis.
Actually it really hasn't been for the last few years with the rebirth of the downtown. But it was a huge symbol that made it easy for visiting press to snap a shot, what the Detroiter's call 'ruin porn' for their story. Now it's another symbol of the rebirth of the city.

The press is going to have to go out further into the East side neighborhoods for their ruin porn and that's a place that is a wee bit dangerous. Not as scary as the South side of Chicago but scary just the same.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. That's specifically intermittent fasting, I've done that for a year, it was ok and didn't do much for me.

To give some local context, this building is iconic in Detroit. The previous owners let it rot for decades, and Ford's purchase has been a huge PR win in Michigan.

Part of the reason it has such a high profile around here is just how far it fell. It's been popular in "ruin porn" profiles of Detroit. Ford will need to do an enormous amount of work restoring it, as it's been left without even window panes (or boards!) for a long time.

I've always liked this building, so to me it feels like the Empire State Building being owned by a slumlord who ignored it for 20 years.
Sorry to rain on the outrage parade, but I don't see any evidence of a "war on memes". Sure, the EU might force Imgur to implement some kind of content ID system and Hollywood could register source images in that system to block some memes, but the motivations for this new copyright law appear to have nothing to do with memes.
I'm not sure what other purpose it would be for.

No doubt they are successful pursuing their intrinsic goals. But the disconnect I saw was between monks who don't work and workers meditating to become more productive. Maybe the meditation is actually the cause of their not working and is harmful for productivity. It might lead you to do as little work as possible, even if you do what you do do really well and feel very personally satisfied.

I remain pretty sure that Apple's Mac line is going ARM. Their own custom, highly performant version.

However, I don't believe this excuses current circumstances.

And a chip swap doesn't address the other, current hardware problems.

I am not a Mac person, so my opinion doesn't carry much weight, on that basis. Nonetheless, having been reading what's going on, I'd say:

If your career depends on Mac, and you can afford it, I'd buy a 2015 MacBook Pro before they're gone. Even if it feels like a "waste of money", weigh that against being without an acceptable machine until Apple gets it together.

I'd also spend for the longer term AppleCare, to try to guarantee having a working machine until same.

If things don't improve, soon, I wonder what the second-hand market for these will end up looking like.

The Marxist brigade? Even a pro capitalist should be against increasing wealth inequality.

A healthy market has plenty of competition and competition reduces profits. If the vast majority of wealth gets concentrated into relatively few people then that indicates a lack of competition and leads to inefficiencies.

Having recently made a website with a non-trivial layout that required lots of ugly JS to implement adequate scaling and bevavior, boy, I can't disagree more. I do UI in QML in $dayJob and gained a whole new appreciation for how much simpler and faster it is to achieve similar results in a more consciously crafted language.

Unfortunately it was our wedding website and I didn't think "let's hold off until I can use Qt/WASM" would go over too well ... :-)

> Mmm- no, I don't think that's how this works.

How what works?

> You're dodging the question.

I'm not. Every liberal democracy I know of has a market economy.

> a stock market ("the market" usually referred to in these sorts of articles)

Why should "markets" refer exclusively to stock markets? What about the most essential type of market: commodities? Markets have existed for millenia, since humans began to trade.

> exists today in a wide variety of modern governance, from authoritarian to liberal

I didn't say liberal democracy is a prerequisite for markets (and I don't think it is). I said markets are a prerequisite for liberal democracy.

> Arguably Athens had a liberal democracy, but no stock market

But they had markets, which agrees with what I said. In fact, ancient Athens engaged extensively in trade. It's one of the major reasons it became an important center of culture, arts, and philosophy.

I think it's dependent on how much profit you're actually making. Revenue is irrelevant if you're in the red, as "start-ups" often are. That's what "growth oriented" means, imo. As companies mature certain other tasks are weighed more heavily, and in the grand scheme of things, if you're a mature company, growth isn't the number one priority. Rather maintaining your marketshare, and preventing other startups from taking your share of the pie takes up more resources than actual growth.

However I would never ever use "start-up" to describe myself, but rather only others.

The concepts are described here:

Ford, Bryan; Srisuresh, Pyda; Kegel, Dan (2005), Peer-to-Peer Communication Across Network Address Translators (http://www.brynosaurus.com/pub/net/p2pnat/)

Abstract:

Network Address Translation (NAT) causes well-known difficulties for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, since the peers involved may not be reachable at any globally valid IP address. Several NAT traversal techniques are known, but their documentation is slim, and data about their robustness or relative merits is slimmer. This paper documents and analyzes one of the simplest but most robust and practical NAT traversal techniques, commonly known as “hole punching.” Hole punching is moderately well-understood for UDP communication, but we show how it can be reliably used to set up peer-to-peer TCP streams as well. After gathering data on the reliability of this technique on a wide variety of deployed NATs, we find that about 82% of the NATs tested support hole punching for UDP, and about 64% support hole punching for TCP streams. As NAT vendors become increasingly conscious of the needs of important P2P applications such as Voice over IP and online gaming protocols, support for hole punching is likely to increase in the future.

> Is there any exploit / known technique / program that allows you to explore a network behind a NAT without cooperation from inside

If you wanted to exploit this, you would have to guess the port, and it would be forwarded to a machine behind the NAT, which "owns" the open port.
It is likely that PewDiePie has a negative enough image that YouTube believes that associating a given brand with his content will not generate ROI for the advertisers. By demonetizing these videos 1) the advertisers win because their ads are shown more frequently in "profitable" spots, 2) YouTube wins because they build trust with their advertisers, and 3) YouTube wins again because they don't have to pay out to the content creator for valueless ad spots.
> We're saying the same thing

That's because you still haven't answered the original question:

>>> Is a trade deficit important to not have?

E.g., consider your examples:

>sheiks owning the sports teams and chineese businessman owning all the prime housing

Given that I'm not the type of person who buys sports teams and prime housing (of the sort purchased by Chinese businessmen), why should I care about that style of FDI? I mean, I guess it must suck for the American ultra-rich that they now have to compete with the Chinese ultra-rich for access to ultra-veblen goods like owning sports teams, but... why the hell should the rest of us care which mega-rich person owns the local sports team!? What possible material impact could that ever have on us?

The only type of FDI that effects my life is FDI in productive assets, like factories, and those are strictly good for me (more and better-paying jobs).

"So we lost the Toyota factory but on the plus side the sports team isn't owned by a Sheik" seems like a really dumb trade-off. What am I missing here...?

"While debugging, React Native attaches to a Chrome Developer Tools instance. This is great because it is a powerful debugger. However, once the debugger is attached, all JavaScript runs within Chrome’s V8 engine. This is fine 99.9% of the time. However, in one instance, we got bit when toLocaleString worked on iOS and but only worked on Android while debugging. It turns out that the Android JSC doesn’t include it and it was silently failing unless you were debugging in which case it was using V8 which does."

Wow, I can't imagine how frustrating this must have been to debug.
All consensus does in bitcoin is determine whether a transaction is possible or impossible (avoid double spends).

With a SQL database, this is not an issue because SQL transactions can have constraints preventing said double spend.That is to say, the SQL database can take a lock on the row and ensure no other concurrent transaction modifies it in parallel.

Consensus solves a problem that only exists in a decentralized system.

Since SQL databases are centralized, that problem doesn't exist.
Even for multi-master / distributed SQL variants, there's typically a way to wait for a write to commit across N nodes before going on, which solves the problem much more easily.

In short, I think your question makes no sense.

That's what the court order is about - determining whether Facebook acted in good faith, or whether there was a process for determining power of attorney.

There's something to be said, regarding platforms having a need to project an image of depth and variety, and there was a time when it might have been useful to have something like Salad Fingers hanging around, to fill out the infinite scroll playlist, but let's not pretend that Youtube has a gap like that, needing occupants anymore.

Youtube is eye-to-eye with (or far ahead of) Netflix and Amazon, in that they are active content producers now, and it's out-of-touch to imagine them as a DIY empowerment engine, providing a means for nobodies to bootstrap themselves out of obscurity scribbles we all might hypothetically fawn over for thirty seconds, while checking to see if the infinite scroll will crash our browsers.

Particularly when you could have made a constructive argument and tried to elaborate what conditions it cured, what studies were behind it (maybe summarizing Dr. Fung's research), or other more valuable contributions.
> Hole punching refers to cooperative nat traversal, that is, with help from the inside - in every discussion I have ever seen.

If by cooperative you mean that there is outcoming connection on the port, then yes, that's cooperative. If by cooperative you mean some sort of port mapping, whether manual or UPnP, then no, you don't need that.

The ultimate irony of course being that Electron was originally a Qt app. KHTML written against Qt by the KDE folks (some of whom turned into Qt folks) -> forked into WebKit by Apple when they needed a browser, using a shim layer to work on Cocoa, which grew into a platform abstraction framework -> forked into Blink, used in Electron. Qt begat its own competitor.
