The NK-33 engines from 1960s and 70s Soviet Union were used by American space companies as late as 2014. These were just stuck and forgotten in a Russian warehouse. Doubtlessly other Soviet technology has also been lost and awaits rediscovery.

> we're super pro-gender equality

I guess it's hard for me to see this when you're introducing a product that is now needlessly gendered. I do think you're tapping a good niche for a business, but I can't agree with it from a social equality perspective. I think we'd be better off without men's vs. women's razors, the "pink tax" as well. Now you're bringing in a "blue tax."

>It's easy to say that the money in my bank is my property, even where it is in the care and custody of a third party, so by that argument, Gorsuch's property argument gives me more privacy protections for non-warranted searches to my banking data

I didn't understand him to be quite saying that. I understood him to be saying, "information about oneself is property. The government may not take your property without cause even someone else is holding it for you. Ergo, they cannot take the information here."

As you note--there's a debate that would need to be had whether this is your information that you've given them, or their information that they've created about you and the analogy breaks down a bit for me where that isn't perfectly clear.

Roberts seemed during oral arguments like he might have been trying on the information-is-property argument, "This [data] is not simply created by the company, though. It's a joint venture with the individual carrying the phone. That person helps the company create the record by being there and sending out the pings or whatever." That he writes against it here suggests he either didn't like where it led, or possibly couldn't get a majority to sign on to an approach that would uproot Katz when neither party was asking for it.
I'm talking about servers, where Linux dominates.

Sun used to dominate there, and they might have continued to do so had they switched to open licensing, made the OS free, and maybe adopted a business model like RedHat's.

The main use of neuromuscular blockers is making it cheaper and faster. You can kill someone just as well with hypnotic drugs alone using a much higher dose, and using neuromuscular blockers as a reason to decrease hypnosis is IMO f*ing TORTURE.

An obvious CCTV camera on the ceiling is different than a hidden camera or a hidden voice recorder, they even make fake black domes to make people think they are being watched. Also, some states differentiate between audio recording and video-only recordings when it comes to two party consent meaning you can video record the conversation without their consent but can't have audio.
It's unfortunate some people don't see the benefit of trying to move their users to TLS, but Quakenet is the exception here. Most IRC users and networks I know encourage TLS usage and do their best to help users and chatrooms use it. I'd even like to see it required for any modern IRC server, just as HTTPS is required for any modern website. The issues brought up in your link are correct but the solution isn't to abandon encryption, just because it's difficult doesn't mean it shouldn't be attempted.
oops, my bad. I assumed with those big checkins that this is the first time this is getting introduced.

You're assuming that 'unchecked destruction of the environment" means all important species will be made extinct. That's not true. We do our best to destroy various pests but they keep surviving. Many species have been wiped out and everything's still going fine. How much damage do we have to do to cause important ecosystems to collapse? I'll bet nobody knows because it's too complicated. Again, it might happen but nobody's certain so it's a lie to say that it's certain.

Something I'm pretty sure of though is that we can never destroy all food-producing life on earth by just eating everything till it's gone. Whatever's left will thrive and can be used to make food. Maybe not as tasty or as cheap, but we won't need a fully artificial life support system. Even in an extreme case of desertification, we can still grow plants indoors, and rain will still fall on our "deserts". And that's the very extreme! In reality, maybe the price of beef will go up a little as farmers have to spend more on feeding them.
I'm not sure why everyone is downvoting this. To repeat myself from another thread: give people generous readings. Slack isn't literally a modern accessible IRC client, no, but it's "today's version," i.e., today's equivalent. Slack is absolutely IRC-inspired, and services like IRCCloud[1] suggest that it'd be possible to build most of what Slack "adds" to IRC on top of IRC's existing protocols.

[1]: https://www.irccloud.com

In a lot of ways, I think Slack's biggest advantage has just been ease of use in modern times: you don't need to know anything about downloading a client and configuring it -- even the friendliest IRC clients I've found are still pretty fiddly compared to "enter your team name, your email address, and your password, boom, done." But this seems like it'd be a relatively easy problem to solve.

CPU Profiling for Serverless Apps
> Fabulously rich, unreliable mystery man of dubious moral integrity (possibly being a front for a near-omniscient A.I.) hires one or more people to find one or more McGuffins;

I see this as a nod to old detective pulp novels and film noir which often have these kind of plots: a mysterious backer (sometimes a rich man, sometimes a femme fatale) sends a detective on a mission to find something or someone. Over the course of following the leads, getting in fights, etc. it becomes apparent that the thing in question is either irrelevant to the larger plot that's revealed, or that things aren't what they seem about the mission, or both.
That's a source operation. You aren't putting values into the collection, you are examining values in the collection.
I agree strongly. His description of what cyberspace looks like is absolutely perfect:

"Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding..."

I've never seen a visual depiction in any cyberpunk-inspired that came even close to getting it right. They mostly all seem to want giant structures made out of neon blocks.

We are in between the technologies. That's litteraly beta testing. Are you saying that when you test your software you expect that everything that get out of it is gospel or you VERIFY and make sure it is?

This is a beta software, this is the testing, this is making sure everything is alright. You have to pay attention at that level BECAUSE it's a test, just like your software you wrote.

Once it's good enough (and we are still pretty far from it), then you won't have to pay that much attention.
Except the opposite is true. I know plenty of people who intentionally use IRC because it _doesn't_ do those things. It hasn't been the victim of feature creep. Hell, even networks with services (chanserv, nickserv, etc) are often looked down upon. There's no walled garden, a very low barrier to entry and everyone speaks the same protocol. Think of the mess of incompatibilities you'll end up with, when someone's using ircII and someone else is using mIRC and yet another person is using shiny-new-feature-laden-client. If you'd like to see what that looks like, go back in time six months and connect to a slack IRC gateway. It was a mess (but it was the only way to get /ignore).

IRC is fine.
Perhaps a build system shouldn't need people to invest so much time into learning it. There must be a better way than all those Gradle API's and all that Groovy syntax.
It reads like a walkback to me as well.
Long live IRC

There will always be new platforms like slack, discord, gitter, and whatever. IRC was and still is great.

IRC is simple, its text, its stable. Its simple to program on and a lot can be done above it.

IRC is open.

The basis of old internet protocols are simple, open and powerful

Email, IRC, HTML, FTP

And as the article points out, irc has no face. IRC was a time people had to ask for a picture. Different from the newer trendier platforms. Back then people used to engage a lot more before they became curios to put a face on a nickname.

The internet has been inundated with the "average" people who unfortunately are not interested in "aplications" like mIRC/irssi/bitchX. Looks like average people need apps that are simpler to use than IRC, apps that allow them to promote their profile to the next level, have followers and likes statistic. Which is alright, in the end they are just the average people that wont put effort to learn nonclickable platforms like IRC.

The web really exploded when the smartphone came and apps like facebook came also and made the average people go online and understand what internet was for. There was a time when only the nerds understood what internet really was. Nowadays the internet guy is not a "nerd" anymore. Nerd is not perjorative as it once was.

IRC is still open, IRC is still kicking.

If you are on IRC, dont let the shiny and newer take you out from IRC.

Long live IRC

I haven't read CR in a long time, but in my youth I fondly remember CR basically being pornography for test engineers.

Pick a product category, define measurands, develop physical test methods, and report results. You could often nitpick the measurands (do I really care about heat ramp time for a hair dryer?) but it was always fun to see the distribution and outliers.

Somewhere in the early 2000's it felt like they changed their model from test engineering to customer surveys, I presume for cost reasons. They had relied on surveys for truly subjective stuff like food, but it really started to proliferate beyond. I know they kept their much-lauded test track for car evaluations but almost everything other category started to feel survey based.

If they brought the test engineering back I'd resubscribe in a heartbeat. Break out the bowling ball dropper for mattress testing!
Why do you think this?

London Trust Media have pretty public and open positions on Net Neutrality, user privacy, and open source software.

The Linux kernel won't, but most shells happily will.

echo 'ls' > test.sh
chmod +x test.sh
./test.sh # Works just fine, no header

and since the C library routine "system()" executes the command via /bin/sh, system("./test.sh") works fine too.
A lot of them would love to stay, trading better life/career prospect with the inconveniences of living in a foreign country which only partially accepts them.

That's the old trade-off, and how America got the worlds' talent. But as lives in home countries get better, US would have to do more to make those immigrants feel like home. Or that trade-off would slowly stop making sense, and more people will go back to their home countries. This is not just happening with the Chinese.
>> It's still unclear whether China will be able to achieve technological parity, but it's quite probable it will overtake the US as the foremost economy this century.

China is already #1 by GDP (PPP) with ~$23 trillions [1]. US is #2 with ~$19 trillions (numbers are from 2017). So here China already overtook US.

If you look at nominal GDP, then US is #1 with ~20 trillions and China is #2 with ~14 trillions [2]. With the government and political system that US currently has it will take very short amount of time for China to close this gap as well.

Another metric that shows that China will continue having growth in near future is human capital. China's school education system is better, they have number of pretty good universities, state supports STEM. Yes, they have a lot of problems, but they have good human capital to solve them.

Through rendering at a larger resolution internally and then scaling the rendered image back down, macOS supports fractional scaling to some degree. It taxes the GPU more than 2x does and isn’t as flexible as a slider, but it also cleanly avoids issues that’d normally come with fractional scaling.

So for example a MacBook Pro with a native resolution of 2880x1800 and native effective 2x of 1440x900 can also run at effective 1680x1050 or effective 1920x1200. This works on external displays as well.

The TLDR answer is that he doesn't believe that the constitution gives the federal government as much authority as they exercise.

I'm mobile, so I'll try to make this brief, but in _Sessions_, for example, he expressed concerns on how vague or poorly written laws afford the government too much power. In _Gutierrez_, he (unusually) wrote the majority opinion, and then also a concurring opinion that I assume he couldn't get other justices to sign on to, which effectively bashed Chevron deference.

_Chevron_ was a case largely believed to have set the stage for much of what people see as abuses of federal authority holding (basically) that an ambiguously crafted statute that does not expressly give a government agency over an authority over an area, but which could maybe sort of be interpreted that way, then you should find in favor of the government, because they're the experts.

Gorsuch believes that giving the government powers that Congress did not expressly intend is an abdication of judicial duty, and that we shouldn't interpret ambiguity as a blank check. He thinks that if Congress intends to give <agency x> authority over a specific domain, then they should say that explicitly.

TLDR, the deference that Chevron establishes as precedent in government cases most largely benefits agencies operating under the executive branch. Trump runs the executive branch, so that cuts in his favor. Gorsuch believes (more than the other justices) that they do not deserve that deference, and that laws should be interpreted to mean what they say.
Stateless/borderless is an absurd goal to seek.

Why do you say so? There's nothing inherently "good" or "just" about nation states. The only nominal support I can find for such an idea is rooted in applying something like Dunbar's Number[1]. But arguably appealing to that is committing a variation of the naturalistic fallacy[2].

The ridiculous treatment of the individual in the situation is something we should come down hard on that section of the government. (They should be facing an inquiry about that)

But who's going to conduct such an inquiry? The government? Oh, wait. It's the old "who watches the watchers?" problem. Me, I don't trust the government to provide oversight of itself. For the same reason I don't trust police to police themselves when it comes to excessive force cases, etc.

I am the same as you. Way worse, actually. When things get really bad (e.g. 500+ open tabs in Firefox), I spend ~20 minutes closing as many obviously "left-over" and otherwise uninteresting tabs, and then I save all of the remaining tabs to a new folder of bookmarks, then close the window. It's not ideal, but it does make sure that "potentially interesting" things I've seen don't get lost forever in the internet ether.
I feel the same way.

I'm also a bit irked with having to prune all the time. I follow someone or something that I expect to be about something and really it's just a lot of noise about other things...
You're missing the point focusing on the inaccurate descriptions of tech. The point, and greatest strength, of the book is in how people interact with the tech, and how it shapes society. Gibson has always been very good at articulating how technology shapes society, and the human response to technology, especially how people always find their own, unexpected ways to utilize technology (as in the famous line from his short story "Burning Chrome", "the street finds its own uses for things").

Frankly, an "accurate" description of tech would almost certainly just badly date it (e.g., "an unbelievable 500MB of RAM!")
