IT fiasco pushes TSB into a loss
Sounds like the phone‘s not the problem. Just don‘t twitter, instagram, facebook, snapchat or whatever you do 24/7 and simply use it for its most useful features. Ditch every social app, delete your accounts. Maybe turn it off every day at a fixed time (quite a while before you‘re in the bathroom brushing your teeth). Leave it at home when you‘re going for a walk. It’s not like there‘s nothing inbetween a flip-phone user and a hopeless smartphone addict.

I am so glad to see these old standards (tcp, http) finally being offered a better, more secure alternative. But the most problematic of all in my opinion is smtp. Anyone aware of an equivalent of the quic/http2 initiative for smtp?

dns would be second most problematic one, but like for ipv6, dnssec exists, it is just not used enough to get a chance to take over.
Last one still doesn't make sense as soon as you introduce anyone who doesn't already know someone from the "tribe" (or whatever) or isn't related to anyone.

You can't describe yourself as "my mothers oldest son" if I have no idea who your mother is. Or rather you can, but thats literally meaningless. How do these people even get someones attention? Is it always "hey you!", since you can't ask your mothers sisters oldest cousin to pass the meat at the camp fire if you have non family memebers present.

That is if completely unmaintained and under much worse conditions.

Bacteria in the permafrost have been found to have been repairing their DNA for almost half a million years. IIRC they aren't really active, they don't reproduce at all, only a very minimal level of metabolism is maintained to repair occuring damage in the cell.

The Worms could be similar. Being frozen, they merely shut down everything but the absolute minimum of metabolism, likely powered by minute temperature differences or incoming light from the outside or many of the other options, just enough to keep the DNA and cell intact, the worm itself would likely be considered dead in it's frozen state.

But they are waiting.
The answer is: make elite connections. It’s entirely possible for someone with something real to offer but no other connections.

Please could you try to be more civil? I haven't attacked you personally. I note you are also switching around whereas I am staying on topic i.e. my original post.

Here's what I said originally:

Point is, citing the overspending by Leave as some massive deal looks a bit rich when virtually the entire establishment, business and media conspired to sway the result towards Remain.

So Remain are Goliath, complaining that David used a catapult (overspend) when David should have just taken his punishment from Goliath's big clunking fists (coordinated conspiracy from powers that be to scare the public into voting Remain). All clear now? It's Remain that are playing the victim which as I said, given Remain's overwhelming advantages in the campaign and apparent incompetence in convincing the public despite that advantage, attracts ridicule. This is all I said. I'm not sure how I can be any plainer.

There are lots of great businesses with moat characteristics. You spend some capital to dig the moat (i.e. lock in key suppliers or customers) and then enjoy a period of imperviousness.

Funding strategy is an important component of a business plan. Bootstrapping a business that needs scale, or raising venture capital for an idea which can’t scale, can both be game overs.

True, waiting a little bit more makes sense.

Still, please consider providing API specifications and, ideally, free licensing of mobile applications' source code, if those won't negatively impact your business. I don't think they should.

I currently self-host but I'm open to the promise of email as a service. I think I can trust you with really encrypting my spam before it hits the storage, however, when evaluating any options I'm always considering "shall they be unable to provide something I'll need - what would be my options?". Full API availability (even if specs are in flux) and ability to hack on client software would mean I can achieve most things or hire someone to do so.

It's odd that the author is an interaction designer, but goes on such a rant about keeping a feature that proved to work badly when tested on actual users. I'd say actual testing should trump whatever intuition you have about what works well.

Sure, he theorises that the reason is doesn't work for users is because it hasn't been implemented properly everywhere (which the GNOME developers also state), but "we should expend effort on getting third parties to adhere to the HIG" is a classic cop-out: "things would be better if we would just do them better".

Sure, if you can show that the reason third parties do not adhere to the HIG is lack of effort from the team, and you have reason to believe that there is a way to increase the amount of effort spent on that other than saying "just do it", then by all means, go for it. But if that's not the case, the only valid conclusion is that the desired state might not be possible, and removing such a feature is the only proper course of action.

“Are there Clojure jobs out there” challenge
The claim that Leave overspent or had dodgy funding doesn't hold water: the rules are quite clearly being abused or twisted to try and nail the Leave campaign, just like the government used every other resource at its disposal to try and win.

In particular the government spent millions of pounds - more than the entire allowed budget of the remain campaign - on a giant mailshot to the entire country arguing the case to remain. They claim this is OK because it was done just before the time period in which spending was limited began. Yet it was clearly spending on the campaign. They then turned around and claimed Leave broke the rules because of a few hundred thousand pounds.

A lot of this revolves around a supposedly neutral electoral commission that is stuffed with people who openly stated they wanted Leave to lose. There is no credibility to any of the UK's campaign spending controls and they should probably all be scrapped.

As for the "euromyths" site, you've been fooled I'm afraid. It is filled with non-debunkings of "myths" and "lies" (as you put it) that turn out on inspection to be true. It's deeply embarrassing for the EU and shows they don't really understand why a free press exists, and by implication that Leave's arguments about the EU being undemocratic have weight.

For example one of the first stories listed on the page is "EU funding for African acrobats and trapeze artists, July 2015". The newspaper reports were completely true and the EU's response is to complain that they aren't appreciated enough:

https://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/the-european-developmen...

It says:

The articles call funding for deprived communities in some of the poorest parts in the world “frivolous expenditure”

and

Elaborate metaphors and frivolous choice of visuals aside, mastering – to quote the articles – “the art of the trapeze” can open job opportunities for a person in Tanzania (by the way, the same project also provides courses in carpentry and sewing).

The Commission not only missed the entire point the journalists were making - that EU member states struggling to pay their own healthcare and welfare bills should not be forced to fund trapeze lessons in Tanzania - but then also engaged in this embarrassing and condescending exercise as well.

Far from the press lying to you, you've been tricked by the EU lying about the press.
It's a GNOME3 thing, not a Linux thing. Most other desktop environments (including GNOME2/MATE) have more sane defaults.

I bootstrapped a business I exited. Would never do it again. There is a reason most of the world, where bootstrapping is the only option, doesn’t look like Silicon Valley. Venture capital is a big piece of that.
> Trailers don't summarise the whole movie.

Some do. If they contain:

* the protagonist's set-up

* the antagonist's set-up

* an explanation of the protagonist's challenges

* the protagonist overcoming the challenges

* the nature of the twist

* (sometimes the twist itself is hinted at)

* any romantic relationship of significance is both shown
and the direction it ultimately goes is implied

* half the big awesome SFX scenes

* half the funny scenes

* almost every character of significance to the plot

then there isn't much left, I know almost all the key checkpoints, who has to be where and do what and what action has to occur. It's pretty much sketched out. There's minimal suspense because I know who can't die and who has to be where at the end of the movie.

> And even if you feel they do, knowing the outline of a movie isn't going to ruin the actual movie experience itself.

It definitely can. Part of a story is experiencing it for the first time, watching it unfold and not knowing what will happen. Trailers take that away from you. "Oh yeah, I've seen this fight sequence and heard that joke before" just doesn't carry the same weight. And when I have a checklist of people with places to be and action scenes to happen, I can predict things. "Well, I know there's going to be a twist because X has to fight Y in the streets and it looks like they're getting along OK as we approach 1h 20m mark."

There's minimal surprise left, which really hampers my ability to empathize with the characters and engage in the story.
As a counterpoint, I have decent math chops and even do a lot of computational geometry professionally, and I really wanted to like "Geometry and the Imagination"—but for me I was till missing way too much information to figure out what he was saying half the time (much of because of the antiquated style), and after putting lots of work into some section I'd get to the end and be like, "this is kinda neat, but it's not rockin' my world or anything..." (to be fair, I did only make it halfway into the second chapter, on lattices iirc, and the later chapters did look more interesting).

I would definitely not recommend it for someone working on high school level math. If I had made an attempt at that in high school, being told it was something I should be capable of then, I probably would have totally given up on any ideas I had about being able to do math well.

If you look at a lot of reviews for math books, you'll find there is a major split between folks who, on one side, believe a math book should should be a sort of pure, elegant, perfect thing with barely anything in it but statements of definitions, theorems and proofs. It should be difficult above all. There should be no trace of how the contents within it came to be, just a pure presentation of some set of mathematical truths. The other side values pedagogy. The mathematical results in themselves are not considered sufficient on their own to be good teachers; instead, attention must be paid to the psychology of one's readers, and in consideration of it, the best route for making contact from the reader's knowledge to the author's must be taken. A typical trend is that the presentation includes context on why and how the results were developed.

I've seen a similar split in CS, and I can say at least here, that I haven't seen any correlation between those insisting on doing everything the hard/austere way and doing interesting/technically impressive work. That said, I haven't personally done anything particularly impressive in mathematics, so I'll refrain from making too strong a comment about the necessity of any particular pedagogical style in that realm.

But I would bet two things: 1) We lose many folks who could have become good mathematicians because they were freaked out by the sort of attitude and presentation making up the first half of the 'split' I describe above 2) It is probably significant that not all excellent mathematicians choose the trial by fire pedagogical approach in their own works.

I find it interesting how everything has to be encrypted and 'secure' now. The excuse is always the NSA, but let's be honest: A new transport protocol isn't going to protect you from them. I think there's a lot more to the cellular baseband and Intel ME backdoors than anyone can imagine.

It's been a few years since I did server e-mail management, but SMTP/email in 2018 is quite different from SMTP/email in 1985.

For starters all large e-mail exchanges (Gmail/Live) require you to use TLS, so most mx<>mx connections are already secured. Additional protocols like SPF, DKIM and DMARC are securing origins, messages and reducing spam and spoofing.

Long live reasonable BDFLs. They may annoy the community here and there, but the cohesion and gatekeeping provided by a quality BDFL is hard to match with a community. It's very hard for a community to have collective foresight, but even when they do, often a gatekeeper emerges anyways during review. Of course, it requires thicker skin on both sides of the coin, but in hindsight the tech benefits often outweigh the politics.

Sure, some communities (e.g. the Rust one) show that a sole person need not reside at the top. But that often comes with slow implementation/decision costs.

These vehicles have been operating since 1946. That's 72 years, not 20. The reason I gave you the hours and population is because you then figure out 'person hours' without having to make any assumptions other than average rate of travel to go from deaths/mile to deaths/hour - which I expect is a stat you can actually probably also find out.

This was the NTSB's conclusion on the accident.

"The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the flooding and sinking of the DUKW No.1 was a missing access plug, which, in turn, was caused by inadequate supervision of company personnel and inadequate management oversight of amphibious passenger vehicle maintenance. Contributing to the sinking was a flaw in the design of DUKWs, that is, the lack of adequate reserve buoyancy that would have allowed the vehicle to remain afloat in a flooded condition."

The accident was not caused because the vehicles were unsafe. It was caused because of human error. The things you're talking about are factors that contributed to the sinking. Without the main problem (human error) there would be no problem. And, lo and behold, human error was also the cause in this most recent incident as well.

When you calculate the sum of the so-called "memory consumption" of all processes, you generally end up with a number ridiculously above your the amount of physical memory installed on your box.

The only reliable way to learn the memory consumption of a process is to somehow make sure other processes don't allocate/deallocate memory, kill the process in question and watch the difference in global memory consumption.

a 10 active user Synapse should use about 1GB max, so unsure what’s up with the earlier post. The reason it’s currently so much heavier than XMPP is that resource usage scales with the size of rooms being participated in, not the number of connected users - and we aggressively cache those rooms in RAM. However, 100MB is a much more sensible target and we’re busy optimising to try to shrink things down.
For me the important point was that the implementer cannot delegate the community discussion to someone else. He needs to be part of it, and waste hours of important development time on bike shedding.

Or just ignore it and apologize afterwards for rendering the bike shedding useless.

It is however slowly going the way of the þorn, since most people don't know how to type it, and even if they did they wouldn't see a reason to use it.
OTR hasn't aged very well (it doesn't support asynchronous communication, multiple parties or multiple clients per party). For XMPP there is OMEMO, which is gaining traction (and is based on the Signal ratchet), but like with OTR, the forward secrecy it provides might be unwanted or even forbidden in corporate environments where you have retention policies in place. E2EE is great for private chats over an untrusted cloud provider, but really not a priority in enterprise environments.
Remain massively overspent but simply did it in a way that exploited loopholes in the law. The advertising mailshot alone cost more than their entire allowed budget. They also had the entire civil service working for them, the cost of which is essentially incalculable it's so high.

The idea that Remain spent less than Leave is clearly ludicrous if you simply look at what happened. Funding wise there was no competition. The fact that parts of the government are trying to argue otherwise is just another aspect of their attempts to undo the vote by any means possible.

I get that you can selectively subscribe to only certain channels. The problem is that now you have 800+ channel names to read in order to determine the ones to which you might want to subscribe.
