Having dabbled in the space a bit: (on the less-malicious side, scraping for archiving, I imagine pro bot-writers are far beyond me.)

There's an upper bound to "bot complexity"; that being the complexity you want to impose on a normal user. For many sites (e.g. instagram) it's often easier to just "pretend to be a normal user" and hit it from a headless browser. You lose some functionality, but at least for my needs, that's always been a sufficient fallback.

As such, I've always been of the opinion that the primary function of API limitations is to punish/limit/extract more money from the good participants.
I can't read this article, that side has a bad privacy policy that requires you to accept personalisation and tracking :-/ you can turn off third party tracking but not first party tracking.
I had the same question. Not sure, but if you look at the plot of the indefinite integral, you can see it appears to have period 2pi (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integral+log(2-2cos(x))). The indefinite integral for log(3-3cos(x)), for example, is not periodic - the value 2 inside the log seems to be a critical point, so I guess it was chosen deliberately to force f(1)=0.
Hey! I've been trying to get in touch with you (I'm doing some research on Retail). Can you drop me an email? My email: jimmyliu@berkeley.edu, thanks!
I used to ask my students (2/3rd year university kids) about facebook. Last year all the females said the same thing: Facebook has too much of a "creep factor". They didn't feel safe. But work, especially applying for jobs, often demands one have a facebook presence. I myself, during background checks, have had to justify why I don't have a facebook account. In many corners it is just expected that everyone uses it, with suspicion falling on those who don't. This isn't the free market of econ textbooks.
Cherrytree: hierarchical note taking application
Wasn't Horton Plaza built in the 80s? Which would make it more likely that they were responding to Dr. Seuss when they built it, not inspiring his drawings decades before it was built.
"None of the company’s (Facebook) key executives has a “normal” Facebook presence. You can’t add them as friends, they rarely post publicly and they keep private some information that the platform suggests be made public by default, such as the number of friends they have.

Over at Twitter, the story is the same. Of the company’s nine most senior executives, only four tweet more than once a day on average."

I feel like facebook is getting less, not more ingrained in everything. Not being on facebook has only gotten easier for me, and young people don't seem keen on signing up for the service anymore.
Only positives: I sometimes like the "all images already visible" view they added, and it's kind of nice you can now click the lines indicating nesting to fold the thread you are in.

Both of these things could have been perfectly fine implemented in the old design.

I find it especially annoying that the sidebar (with subreddit rules etc) appears to be gone?

No, it's sadly a complete lack of kid autonomy around me. Kids aren't afforded any independence around here until mid-teens (15+). I think walking more than a few doors down is absolutely out of the question for most kids these days.

More and more kids are driven to school each day. The school bus was another socialization place for kids that is gone.

> You're providing a textbook example of pragmatism

Thank you.

> the rejection of principles

Pragmatism does not in general, or here in particular, involve rejection of principles. It may reject arguing about abstract principles when there is a simpler and less divisive means of addressing an issue.

> When Trump idiotically threatens tariffs on Canada and Germany, it should not be an opportunity to debate how much, on what products, or if there are easier ways to destroy free trade -- the proper question is: is that a legitimate power of the executive? (hint: it is not)

We could argue all day about whether you are right or whether it is, despite not being a legitimate independent power of the executive under the Constitution, nevertheless a statutory power of the Executive under laws duly passed by Congress under unquestioned commerce clause power—this isn't regulating intrastate transactions that might distant impact interstate or foreign trade, but directly regulating foreign trade—and, as such, a legitimate executive power.

Or we could just agree that it's an idiotic counterproductive policy regardless of whether or not it's within the President's legitimate scope of legal power.

If you buy a phone for this feature, then I suppose it would matter. But IRL no one cares about these performance numbers until/unless they're separated by an order of magnitude.

> I don't know that additional download speed would be useful to me at the moment.

Until someone comes up with clever new applications to consume this bandwidth, I agree: it's just not useful.

I really prefer android and I like the Snapdragon phones. Clearly, AAPL made a smart bet in dual-sourcing the modems. People do not buy iPhones because they expect superior throughput. Device performance/latency likely matters much more than network performance.
I can't +1 this enough. I remember constantly agonizing over features and deliverables for the company I was working at, at 25. Blowing off friends to go research this or that or to stay at work an extra few hours. I can barely remember what the hell I was working on.

It's that and "customization" that gets harped on the most.

However, the biggest "customizations" I've see were changing the font to a nigh unreadable one and to install apps they didn't pay for.

The serverless.com framework is built around existing serverless/faas platforms and allows you to write vendor-agnostic functions and deploy them exchangeably. It does not provide the resources to run your code. it abstracts away different API of different vendors to make them seem as one.

Knative on the other hand provides building blocks to eventually build a serverless platform. It provides the resources necessary to run and scale your application.

In short: You could use the serverless.com framework to deploy applications/functions on knative. But you still need some layer actually running your workload, like knative.
Why does my phone battery die so fast?
The book sounds good, but the book and the article are from 2014.
Knative installs into a Kubernetes cluster. Knative as it stands is not multi-tenant, so if you need to isolate workloads, you will need distinct Kubernetes clusters.
Your moral relativism argument might be relevant if everyone in this thread didn’t already have a shared understanding of what good/evil mean in the context of facebook and this discussion.

> This screen shot shows the Lisa emulator running the Macintosh operating system using Macworks. Supposedly with a little bit of hardware tweaking a real Apple Lisa can run up to MacOS 7.5.5.

> This lets the Lisa run the vast amount of software developed for the earlier Macs. Which was a good thing as there was apparently very little software developed to run natively on the Lisa OS.
We pushed back all the time! It was nearly useless though, as our objections would either be dismissed with platitudes by the execs or ignored by the team actually working on the feature (and therefore caring more about their PSC review than the right thing)
At least on Synology you can have your choice of storage vendors using the built in cloud sync app; it natively supports Rsync, AWS, Glacier, B2, Amazon, DropBox, Azure, whatever.

I'm also not sure how closely you read the review if you don't think Chang talks about behavioral economics: "Those nine schools are Austrian, Behaviourist, Classical, Developmentalist, Institutionalist, Keynesian, Marxist, Neoclassical and Schumpeterian."

One also wonders how likely it is that Ha-Joon Chang, who has a pretty solid list of mainstream credentials (c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha-Joon_Chang), is really as confused about the claims of mainstream economics as you seem to imply.

These new limits seem specifically designed to continue allowing that workaround. 300 tweets per three hours is about the upper limit of what a single user would do, so if you're registering a developer account just for personal use you can do that without any manual review or having to demonstrate having a real product.

You only require approval from twitter and a product website if you have higher usage than that, which is what would prevent you from using that workaround.
Is the expectation that you have some social media presence or facebook in particular? Would "I mainly use twitter/g+/linkedin/instagram fly?"

Reading that's strictly there because you have to isn't going to engender a love of reading, it's going to smother it. I also doubt that it'll be effective at teaching the skill of reading - it'll be works that ignored from those who don't care to do it.

I read because I loved it and was exposed to it at a young age from home, not because school required me to read.

This wasn't intended to be an editorial, it was intended to provide context. I believe that it's not clear from the title alone as you've included it here that it was Twitter. Yes, it's on the twitter blog platform, but so are many other things that aren't actually from twitter.

Personally, I spent some time trying to make sure the submitted title was more accurate and informative than the one on the post. I freely acknowledge that it's your call. I think you got this wrong.

given more time i would venture into higher end 3D games and AI's, i also like to make things educational so i would love to make something biologically accurate, there are so many complex systems in real world biology that would make great games e.g for example a game centred around the life of one of these animals: meercat, beaver, bug/spider, ants.... the list goes on :D
In response to his Recode interview, Mark says "I believe that often the best way to fight offensive bad speech is with good speech."

This would be possible to test empirically. One could to to identify groups of people who express racism, flat earthism, etc and require some of them to watch an educational video and answer a quiz. Ban another portion of them from posting for a set amount of time. Afterwards, compare the rate of posting about those beliefs to a control group.

Personally, I believe that unchallenged false beliefs are only reinforced over time.
Yes -- it's one of my most prized possessions. I have been keeping a daily diary for the past five years in a text editor, recording thoughts, events, and useful links.

I find it very helpful to have a place to vent or just elaborate on my thoughts. I rarely go back and read previous entries, aside from reflective times like New Year's. I love its existence as something akin to an art piece. It provides a candid snapshot into the daily train of thought of a twentysomething developer and writer.

It's deeply personal, but I do hope someday to make it available for people to read in some context -- it's the most real and honest thing I've ever created.
It opened in 1985. But I'm pretty confident that the numerous restaurants with outdoor seating and similar quirks are in response to local weather conditions, not an ode to Dr. Seuss. If you visit the area, well, there are lots of architectural quirks that would not make sense in wetter weather or less temperate weather.

The mall is not named for the character in the Dr. Seuss book:

"Alonzo Erastus Horton (October 24, 1813 – January 7, 1909) was an American real estate developer in the nineteenth century. The Horton Plaza mall in downtown San Diego is named for him."

We need to reemphasize moral, environmental and humanitarian issues in our society. We are at a point again when the only thing that matters is money. Yes companies always support "green initiatives" and other causes... but at the end of the day this support is only there to help them turn a profit.

We as consumers (and co-riders on this planet) need to put our foot down and say "this stops here." Trump pushing for cost benefit analysis of saving endangered species, Facebook invading privacy regardless of what is necessary to push ads, companies pushing internet to developing countries in hopes of getting the market for themselves under the guise of "helping" these communities.

I don't have the answer, I just know if we want to grow as a society we need to learn that looking only for monetary profit is hopelessly shortsighted.
That's an unrealistic forward standard as society is now. There's more money to be made eroding your ownership of your own thoughts and ideas than there is societal will to defend you. We've graduated from an "information economy" to an "attention economy" after all. Since attention is a resource to be pumped out of our skulls just like oil, what should prevent the rest of us from being farmed?

For now, keeping things in your internal disk will protect them, but I can't imagine that's a permanent status quo.

If we keep advancing brain-computer interfaces, eventually you might not even be able to hide your dreams from your employer! Think about how much money companies will save on loss prevention if they have perfect, autonomous loss prevention built right into your brain stem! It'll be great for the economy.
Thanks. I agree that lift and shift never happens easily in real life.

That being said, why would I not use the actual free upstream Kubernetes for my on-prem distribution ?
(with the help of one of the thousands installer out there like kube-adm, kubespray, etc).

What I have seen working with Kubernetes for quite a while, is that the lowest common demominator is the YAML definitions for your workloads (what you want to run on your Kubernetes cluster). Those should be portable accross any Kubernetes distribution, on-prem or on the cloud. As far as I can tell, today this is already the case.

Is the benefit in this case that you can use the Google ecosystem for logs etc ?
As of right now, the alpha release is supported on vSphere 6.5... more to come later :)
Frankly, I'm very tired of people complaining about "free speech" as if it's the problem. Meanwhile you go and conflate people who support free speech with white ethno-nationalists... do you realize how poisonous you're being? Legitmately this line of thinking is extraordinarily toxic to any community that actually seeks to "do the right thing".

Not to mention, all too often "doing the right thing" is just siding with people who share your ideas... and that's really not the right thing.
> "Poweruser"? No, I feel the more accurate term would be power-consumer.

Possibly. I guess there are many different kinds of powerusers. The interpretation I had in mind is that I use the computer (1) a lot, (2) not just for internet/media consumption, and (3) I use it to program so I want/need easy accessibility to many software packages (which is a problem on Windows, IME).

Just because I can solve all of the problems/configuration and use all the low-level backup/networking tools, it doesn't mean that I want to (it's just not worth my time).

I think it is worth pointing out that often we don't actually know the answer, or are getting results interpreted through politically motivated lenses, and so even seemingly descriptive statements about the economy are often secretly normative ones.

> Second: A ratchet enables us to recover from a situation where bad guys have our secret, forcing the bad guy to either repeat their attack to get a new secret or show their hand. TOTP lets us do this when bad guys get one TOTP code but not the underlying TOTP secret.

I'm just going to focus on this, because it's not based on opinions of likelihood but simple facts. TOTP does not have a ratchet. If you copy the secret, you can use it indefinitely.

A ratchet is a counter (or similar) that goes up per use, so you can detect cloning. TOTP does not have this. It does not store any state. If I log in every day, and the attacker logs in every day, you can't look at the counters to see that something is very wrong, because there is no counter.
Whether it's trivial is irrelevant. It should never need to be done. Ads and tracking in the default OS is a scummy move by Microsoft.
Yep. Google has built multiple ecosystems and they each have their own preferences. The grandparent was talking about Google's internal, server-side ecosystem. People working in that area sometimes assume that's it's the default.

Client-side development is a whole different thing. It's fragmented between browser, Android, and iOS. (And each of those is further fragmented, with multiple languages available.)
How so? What's stopping bad actors from using their official client's secret (found on mobile apps binary)?
Even if we accepted your criticism that economists have a limited ability to pick apart conventional wisdom, I think it is worthwhile to hear these things from people steeped in and deeply knowledgeable about the field.

I wouldn't want it changing every election cycle, so I'd say it should be some combination of population or area. If states want more revenue than that, they they can add other consumption taxes like bridge tolls, sales tax, etc. that is collected at PoS. I just don't like having a complex math problem to do every year.
