Hubble is going the Warby Parker or Dollar Shave Club route, by vertically integrating manufacturing and branding.

This is just ecommerce automation in a niche vertical. Here, they draw in buyers, they stock inventory, and they fulfill.

Maybe he's able to upgrade and use better software to get rid of 15% of "waste" or maybe he's just eating into his margins and it's too early yet for him to realize, either way he's marketing it as a "savings" passed on to the consumer.

Which doesn't mean it's not interesting. If he can prove that his software mix really is contributing to lowering costs and if the niche doesn't sustain/support the business then most likely he ends up finding another niche or selling access to his software tools to help other ecommerce businesses thrive. E.g. sell shovels in a gold rush.
Because you could have 50 subdomains, for which you'd need either a wildcard cert or 50 separate certs.

That might seem like a ton per week, but consider a PaaS (example-123.herokuapp.com) or a blog platform (example-diary.someblogapp.com).

Personally I'd prefer a wildcard cert there, but at organizations where certificate inventory is a requirement (where they need to track, procure, and invalidate on a per-subdomain basis) Let's Encrypt is a solid option.
A network blip caused all the players to drop from the game.

Incidentally, we'd just changed the code a few days earlier from "automatically surrender when a human disconnects" to "do nothing if a human disconnects; automatically pause if all humans disconnect". Had done a lot of advance planning for what might break!
OpenBazaar is over four years old now. It didn't emerge out of blockchain hype.

Cryptocurrency means it can be completely peer to peer and not reliant on any payment processing platforms, and with multisig is allows for powerful escrow as well.
Please, how exactly in browser I can see it?
yep, he did it all alone. there was nobody else helping out. nobody at all.
Google markets how a feature "drives engagement." Apple talks about how it "help users quickly accomplish tasks."
Well, did Facebook ever say it wouldn’t share data with third parties prior to Cambridge Analytica?

My own impression is that they were always very open about reserving the right to do whatever they want with all data, until the CA scandal first caused an actual nontrivial number of people to care.

I'd love to be pointed to relevant facts I might be missing.
Because cryptocurrency is clearly the wrong solution to this problem. If they actually wanted to make a decentralized marketplace non-technical people can use they would not have used cryptocurrency.
"Major YouTubers" are also the same people who professional marketers generally place in the "influencers" category. These folks accept payment ("sponsorship") in exchange for publishing videos that are in line with the sponsoring entity's priorities.

As usual, one must exercise care when consuming Internet content. Most of it is, quite unfortunately, "fake news" or "sponsored content".
If the concept is that protocol requirements represent the "customisation points" of a protocol, shouldn't this apply equally to conforming classes and subclasses with inherited conformance? So I would be in favour of fixing this. Conversely, perhaps protocol extension methods etc not declared as protocol requirements could e.g. elicit a compiler warning when "overridden" by conforming classes/subclasses with inherited conformance (since they are not intended as customisation points)? I think these changes would aid reasoning about protocols and reduce bugs.
I think it's funny how many comments give great importance to the object being a bicycle or the person being a bike rider to explain the output.
Exactly. I mean, what use of the data does it have otherwise?
In addition to the point others made about vulnerabilities, you should know that Thunderbird currently split the calendaring features into an add-on called Lightning that is included but disabled by default. If you don't want a calendar, you won't get a calendar.
I don't pay fees on either my checking or savings accounts unless I need to withdraw cash from a competitors' ATM or if I were to overdraw an account. I haven't paid a fee in years.
There are still some decent banks out there that offer free checking and savings.
it is, except its only AMCs. If one lives in the bay area (especially the peninsula / south bay, for example), the AMCs show a very limited set of movies. If all one is interested is movies in wide release, that's fine.
My position is that CS is a bunch of proofs about Turing machines which can be implemented in transistors which are productions of our mastery of physics.

You could try to say the same thing about psych being implemented by neurons, but it's not directly traceable. You can try building up from neural networks, and backtrack from Freud's drive/defense model, but there is an insurmountable gap in between.
Anybody know if the line-wrapping has been fixed? In either this version or anything since <checks what I have> 52.9.1? The messed-up line-wrapping and quoting is easily my biggest problem with Thunderbird.

I agree these would be much more descriptive.
Which is why most OEMs went with Nougat instead of Oreo for their brand new 2017/2018 devices.

I really like it went this bad as always, because apparently as disclosed at Google IO 2018 they are finally considering making updates a requirement on the license agreements.
I'm not sure it would break when you sat on it; the chain would be in tension, holding those two sections together and filling the task of that bar. The problem would be when you started to pedal, and that bar is not there to stop the chain from pulling the rear wheel towards the pedals.
I had to stop reading after a few paragraphs. His assertion that linking belongs to "content producers" is ludicrous. Those content producers have given users the tools to do linking themselves, and they express themselves in a variety of ways over a variety of mediums.

You need to learn how to write to express yourself with written word, yet how many people do we here harping on how difficult it is to learn language?

At some point we can draw a line and say, "if you want these abilities you need to learn these things". We did so with literacy, with driving, and with so many professional trades. We can do so with basic internet literacy.
Until apps adapt what is one supposed to do?
Been thinking this for a while. I've captured bugs using screen shots. And then reported those bugs using Twitter because there is no other way to attach images to support. (Especially using Microsoft support channels) what a mess to have to use Twitter to report bugs because the bug report are so obfuscated from the user.

When I see a job description that says "someone who loves good design" and then they force me to upload my resume, I laugh and give up applying for the job. The internet sucks pretty much all around and I am taking time off from it.

A few good things still left to ruin:
* The search box in the middle of Googles homepage (somehow this still works as expected).
* Being able to see a history of activity when every site switch to "App" mode
* Buying stuff online still works
* Still able to talk to people online (choice of hundreds of platforms)
* Finding roommates (choice of few platforms)
* Playing fortnight

If we could focus on screwing up those last few uses then it will be entirely and utterly useless. Get to it!!
Once banks share the info with FB, expect more prosecutions by "parallel construction" using FinCEN databases, etc.
Do remember that AMC Stubs, exist because of moviepass. Not because they want to save us money. So we need movie pass to continue to exist so that its too late to put the cat out of the bag.
"You will be dealing with refugees from underwater areas of $nearby_area on $date."

This is the under-appreciated risk of climate change: all those people who get displaced are going to want somewhere to move to, and they're not going to want to pay for it (they will argue it's not their fault the ocean took their land).

Meanwhile, all the people who already live in desirable places are not going to want to subsidize vast floods of strangers moving into their neighborhoods.
Basically: scale and supply chain. On some lenses, where we're on an even playing field, we're able to dramatically beat everyone else on price (e.g. Biofinity Toric XR, MyDay Toric, Proclear Toric XR).

As we grow and we can add more suppliers, we'll be able to have the best prices across the board.
All fine and good. What I hear a lot is that young people shouldn't pay for old people. That's extremely short sighted.

I am on board with taking age into account for coat of treatments. But you also need to accept that older people need more care and that that's ok. It's a difficult balance.

There are huge differences between humans in drawing ability and training.

But yes, in the case of these drawings, it seems the main difference is that many people apparently have never looked at a bicycle frame. I expect that to be somewhat different in countries where bicycles and people repairing their own bicycles are more common.
Weird to see that they're not at all cost competitive with most retailers online other than 1800 which is very expensive.

We would absolutely welcome attempts to integrate other forms of payment into OpenBazaar. Our escrow system currently relies on multisig but that's the only significant impediment to adoption.

Ugh, I want to be optimistic, but I think this feature is going to suck and here's why:

I use snapchat, but I actually hate the app. It's a bloated memory and battery hog in my opinion. Is Adaptive Battery going to think I love Snapchat and prioritize more system resources for it just because I use it? Cause I want the exact opposite to happen. I want Snapchat using 0% of my system resources except for the few times a day when I check my snaps.

Also I hate losing control of my system in favor of some nebulous decision making criteria I can't control (ML)
I love this project! We got some prints of these for a family member who's a rabid cyclist and also one for our house.
3 Easy Steps to Maintain a Healthy Work Environment
But this isn't really high/normal/low priority for mem and cpu, its how often the applications should wake up. And from my cursory understanding, background resource consumption can be highly variable, and most apps don't really need that much.

Its the same thing as using those battery manager task killer apps. For a pixel, those apps will result in worse battery life, because recent android versions manage resource consumption better than users will.
yes/no. I used to never buy concessions. spending an additional $5-$10 on top of my $15 ticket wasn't something i was willing to do.

However, if my marginal cost to see the movie is $0, it turns out I was willing to spend $5 or so every so often to get something to munch on during the movie.

While I haven't spent a huge amount on concessions, I've probably spent more on concessions in the 6 months I've had moviepass than in the combined 30+ years preceding it.
Really? I had a galaxy s4 back in the day and I hated the skin/bloatware on it so much I went back to iphone. I recently got the pixel 2 to see if googles own phone would be a better experience and I have liked it as much as my old iphone.
> A billion people consuming more is surely bad for climate change though, no?

Let me ask you a question: How do you incorporate the concept of efficiency when you talk about wealth? Is wealth and not being impoverished defined by how much you can consume?

I'd argue that the history of technology shows us that we tend to value things that provide more value using fewer resources over a the long term. Most wealth is derived from extracting more value from the same resources and not simple resource consumption.

Let's take light for example. There was an article written by Tim Harford discussed the economic history of producing light and how price per lumen has dropped by a factor of 500,000. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-38650976

Obviously, not all consumables can enjoy those tremendous gains in efficiencies, but there are technologies today whose price/performance is improving at a rate far faster than inflation. That's what we should invest in and accelerate.

In my lifetime, I've watched the cell phone and laptop replace the need to buy dozens of other things, not just in the home, but in the office too. Cheap/viable/comfortable augmented reality will only push this trend further.

A billion people consuming more natural resources, non-renewable resources and carbon emitting resources at the levels we consume them would be bad for our environment.

A billion people having access to cheap/free sources of energy, a quality education, an inexpensive digital infrastructure and devices, and knowing how to use their land efficiently is magnitudes better than a billion people simply living in poverty. Poverty isn't cheap, nor is it good for the environment, especially if it leads to wars destroying wealth and raping natural resources.

My hope is the markets in developing countries will be a huge opportunity for producers of efficient technology, providing those technologies a space where they can incubate until their quality begins to match their less-than-efficient competition. In some circumstances, this is true today.
Hype has certainly peaked recently but that doens't mean they weren't a part of it. Blockchain has been hype for a long time.

I understand the "benefits" of cryptocurrency. They're all outweighed by people wanting their money to have a stable value so they can realistically budget their real life expenses. In the bubble cryptocurrency nuts live in where they don't have to worry about real world problems like carefully budgeting their paychecks, it might work, but software like OpenBazaar crashes right into reality.
I'm on a Note 8, but I can't say I've run into these issues. I'm glad that the pixel 2 objectively works best for you!

Timed audio profiles: I still have them on my note 8 but I literally don't use this feature.

Automatic Power Saving: Samsung indeed doesn't trigger this by itself anymore, but I do not want my phone throttling itself just because its almost out of battery. There is Samsung Routines which will activate powersavig mode whenever you want it to (any percentage)

Wear watches may not work well with Samsung, but I don't actually know the details here. I've avoided wear as a platform since it's not as nice as a Samsung Watch to me.

Samsung does have shit car pairing, I'll give you that point. I didn't even know cars could browse media on your pixel. That's cool.

What do you mean by setting dnd during a meeting? Google reads ur calendar and sets DND? That's cool too if that's a feature.

I guess you're right there's a lot of quality of life stuff Google does right for consumers with a busy life. I feel like Google missing something like Samsung DeX will permanently keep me a Samsung Fan for now.
It’s either the targeted harassment campaigns against parents who’ve lost children, or the attempts to push the idea that liberals are planning a civil war and they need to be violently resisted. It may sound like he’s trying to incite violence but that’s just because you haven’t stepped back and appreciated the larger picture.
I don't really understand your comment. I'm not trying to discourage non-OSS OSs. I'm trying to promote something that I believe will increase competitiveness in the computer HW industry. We'll get better Macbooks and Macs when one good proaudio and provideo app (say Adobe Suite & Ableton) are offered on Linux. Or we won't and Apple will just say goodbye to this market segment within the next few years.
This is a really important question and @alaskamiller has got the right points other than the selling software to others bit - we're pretty confident the stuff we're building is impactful in our space since we're seeing the results.

In comparison to Hubble: we don't require customers to get a new prescription. Just order from us, save money.

Long term, the process improvement software that we're building as well as the intelligence around actually acquiring customers will be defensible because it is hinged on customer and supplier data. Happy to talk about this more - dhaivat@jetlenses.com.

In the US everybody would scream "death panels" if they had something like NICE who tries to get some reality into the discussion. Instead the work of NICE is done by insurances. There is no open and rational discussion in the US about these things.
> Ok. But if they use Cloudflare, which MITMs traffic, all their users data is in plaintext to Cloudflare.

Using Cloudflare for DNS, and only DNS, doesn't subject you to this.

If you decide to use their reverse proxy features, then sure, the MITM criticism applies.

My town recently replaced the dull, orange-ish street lights in my neighborhood with very bright, white LEDs.

The street is now very well-lit, but I share the author's concerns and experience with this kind of light creating an environment that's not conducive to sleep, or to unwinding in general. When I look at the new street lights I feel like they were taken out of a hospital operating room.

Another thing I noticed when the new lights first went in was that the birds started chirping at all hours of the night. I don't know if they were always doing that and I only noticed after the new street lights were installed, but it makes sense that the light would have a similar impact on animals as it does on humans.

I wonder if anyone else noticed this when the lights in their neighborhood were upgraded to these harsh, white LEDs.

Hmm. Had a client a few years back with the word "face" at the start of their name. Facebook predictably sued them. I sent their counsel a response containing simply,"Suck my [expletive]" and a citation to the USTP manual on trademarks (website has changed, but the same material can now be found at https://tmep.uspto.gov/RDMS/TMEP/current#/current/TMEP-1400d...) and never heard back from them.

Cost my client about $125 in legal fees...
What else you can do ? Either play the game or die. Thats the only choice you have rly.

You know what i hate more ? The fact that our governers make sure you wont even live long enough to make use of "any" of those retirement entitlements.

Best for them would be all of us dying right after "work age".

Sorry about this! It was a stock copyright clause provided by my university. I’ll look into getting it removed, and in the mean time am perfectly happy for you to use the work (with proper attribution) as you see fit.

>The Fed continuously lowered regulations to feed the market in an attempt to prevent it from crashing.

Uh... like what?
Yeah, mostly its that there are no packages, and that it doesn't seem likely to change. So any fine tuning for things like making sure keys and certificates are stored & managed per the distribution conventions, protected by selinux et. al, and all the other housekeeping things, are all left up to the application rather than getting the benefits of full distro integration.

Edit: Actually since on Linux you still need OpenSSL or a replacement to handle the actual certificates and keys anyway, maybe my concern in that area is misplaced.

Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain is an astonishing book that revolutionized my own artistic practice. The simple but difficult emphasis on drawing what actually see and not what you think you see takes real presence and mindfulness to master. I would recommend this book to anybody interested in art. Even if you don't go through the exercises, the principles in there can really inform different ways of thinking.
A reason you might want to send a "root" in some cases:

New roots get spun up all the time (maybe a dozen a year? That sort of ballpark). For Let's Encrypt that meant the cross signing arrangement described, but for an existing CA they can use their older roots to sign newer ones while they wait for trust stores to do their thing, this produces a certificate for the same name, but instead of being self-signed it's signed by the old root.

If you send this cert as well as your ordinary intermediate, some older clients that had no reason to trust the intermediate can now connect it back to a root they do trust. So for a few bytes you get a compatibility win.

This type of thing is also done when a root is replaced urgently due to distrust. Clients that are on top of their game trust the replacement root. Clients that don't know about this distrust trust the old root, which has signed the replacement. So everybody trusts the replacement, yet up-to-date devices aren't at risk from the old root any more.

A mechanism called AIA chasing lets browsers which use it "fix" an incomplete chain, but at some cost to privacy, another approach is to cache bits of chains and try to use the cached bits to fix broken chains, again this has privacy problems. Definitely send your intermediate (any modern leaf cert in the Web PKI has an intermediate) but more might be necessary.

I would like to see AIA chasing done by TLS servers (there's no major privacy concern there) so that this isn't extra work for admins, but we don't live in that world, so it's on you (or tools you use) to get it right.
Your pedantry is annoying. "PERSON DID THING on the belief" is a literary turn of phrase.
I want to learn more about these cyanobacteria:

Are there extensively measured curves of carbon uptake rate as a function of light intensity? For each curve draw the steepest line through the origin, touching the curve, the corresponding intensity is the ideal intensity, and the cyanbacteria type with the best carbon uptake rate per intensity should be selected.

Then a single solar panel roof could power multiple "floors" of these cyanobacteria?
Microsoft is still pretty big too. They are both entrenched, with momentum guaranteeing their size and growth in spite of increasingly crappy products.
> Intel's 10nm process is expected to be similarly comparable to other fabs 7nm

No, Intel's 10nm is worse than TSMC's 7nm in every metric. Not significantly so, but it is so.

It also seems to be viable whereas Intel's hasn't been proven yet (the only released product is a mobile chip with the iGPU disabled due to defects and low yields).
