The main problem Boost Lab tries to solve is funds distribution among the developers. In other words, how does one distribute funds to all the developers of a project in a fair manner. If there is only one developer working on a repository, then you are absolutely right, Boost Lab offers little to no benefit and a direct donation is definitely better.
Do you think people ate as much meat then as now? The mass farming of animals is an incredibly new phenomenon in comparison to how long humans have been around. And what about driving? By your argument it should be easy to give up considering we only started it recently.

These solutions are simple, but not easy. Therefore people are looking for a complex solution that's also easy and I think we'll be looking for it as the water rises above our necks.
I feel that in an industry one has expertise on, it doesn't require much to get started. Usually the writing is supposed to be specific and to the point.
But they significantly reduce the workload on the people that would otherwise have to manage those things, just like a serverless architecture does.

If you want to argue about vendor lockin, sure. But removing the necessity of managing scaling, individual instances, and OS / software patching is significant.

It's quite interesting that Anki(It's a Japanese 暗记 for those who don't know where the name comes from) is mentioned a few times but no body mention "Memory palace"[1] and "Major system"[2] yet. Both methods try to hack some features/bugs of our brains built by mother nature during million years of her evolutionary development. Most memory athletes use some variation of these methods to achieve astonishing performance. There's a Dr. Yep can remember a 65 thousands of English word and the locations (i.e. page number and the sequence on that page) of each word on a Chinese/English dictionary.

The trick is investing some time to build a personalized memory system, then use the system to remember other things like passport number, credit card , phones etc. It might not be attractive to most people because today we have smart phone to help us. But for learning new knowledge, combination of both space repetition and memory system is quite interesting. Here's what I did: I use a Anki alternative called Memrise[3] to build a Major system. (I also have Anki installed but just prefer Memrise). Then I use Major system to review the concepts I've learned. Major system here is the equivalent of Anki as a tool for short term place holder of space repetition, not directly used for learning. I found brain Anki is better than smartphone Anki/Memrise although I built former Anki with later Anki.

Come on fellow hackers, hacking your brain is very rewarding

In Massachusetts it is common to have two different ammounts bepending how you choose to pay. For instance, my bail was $100,000 cash or 1 million bond. Seeing as bail bondsmen typically require a 10 percent non refundable fee, you would pay the cash ammount and it is returned upon completion of your trial. The problem perceived by the incarcerated is that the courts would be likely to include a fine similar to your cash bail in a resolution to a guilty finding.

Serverless tooling is coming fast.

1. Biggest issue with serverless is debugging when you can't make a local environment and can't install anything like a conventional debugger in the serverless environment. I know of at least one company with a new and very elegant solution for this problem.

2. Visibility and monitoring is also a challenge and there are a bunch of serverless monitoring startups.

3. Security is interesting because, again, you can't install anything to protect your code: no Web Application Firewalls, for example. And there are several interesting theoretical attacks on serverless apps. Already, there are specialist serverless security companies.

A lot of companies don't 'migrate' to serverless. They use a Lambda or GCP Function to handle one small part of a backend task like image processing or some other form of backend tooling. Serverless is often just a good way of gluing other microservices together.

> (race/gender-based) adversity in education usually has the effect of reducing your chances of succeeding in exams, admissions, etc.

How would that work? If we talked about oral exams or job interview then surely there can be a bias. But written exams? I can't imagine how it would be affected by your race.

What can be however affected is your access to quality education prior to the admission, which will affect your admission changes, which should not be an issue after the admission because now you are getting the same quality education as others.

While I can imagine that socio-economic issues (like being black=poor) may affect your access to quality education prior to the admission, I can not imagine how being a woman would affect your access to quality education. Maybe stereotypes in case of STEM?
Both are possible, but the former in particular is highly unlikely (and as I said, "I'd wager", so we're talking probabilities here)
I have grown increasingly disinterested in Office Suites, and in particular word processors, over time.

When composing documents, I prefer to let the final production medium to dictate the production process. (If I don't, I tend to run into issues relating to the final product that are costly to overcome late in the process.)

With this mindset, I still haven't found the use case for word processors. If I aim for something to be designed well in print, it makes most sense to use a desktop publishing tool like Scribus. For the web, something like Org or Markdown covers 99% of the use cases. Org or manually writing LaTeX is good for print use when fancy designs are not key.

What do you people use word processors for?
Likewise healthcare. The fact that insurance companies exist who will pay for a $250000 procedure guarantees that those prices continue. If the customers of healthcare (patients) were the payers, those ridiculous prices would vanish.
I disagree.

I think the screen resolution isn't that big of a deal for many applications (mostly games and stuff like it), and it's not like it's impossible right now, just expensive.

The bigger hurdle from where I'm sitting is getting framerates and latency in a good position. Everyone I've seen use a current gen VR headset gets horribly motion sick in a lot of cases. That NEEDS to be fixed, and I think that comes down to crazy high refresh rates, and super low latency, both of which really crank up the processing power needed.
It has been designed in mind keeping following points:

1. It saves your team members time and energy. They no longer have to spend time searching on the web.

2. It encourages continuous learning. They spend a few minutes daily to keep up to date rather than sit through online training which can be expensive, time-consuming and may get out of date.

3. Since these articles are written by the domain expert, they often contain knowledge not readily available in books or online training.

4 It encourages team learning when integrated with a channel.
Experts should write best practices/hacks/best methods to improve the learning curve and discovery that others have to go through. I understand that doing so sometimes makes one obsolete vs the younger employees but its essential. Even without a massive audience, someone will go through the exact roadblocks and this piece of information becomes priceless.
Autoscale doesn't allow you to scale to zero (as any requests would fail, rather than wait on resources to scale up).

EC2 autoscaling takes a minute or two. This means you need to run with enough headroom to absorb spikes before you're able to spin up more resources. Depending on traffic patterns this can get very expensive (or not a problem at all, with predictable loads).
I’ve played with a bare OSM server before to try and get an osm based map working. Ends up you just have to scrub all the existing geometry and draw it from scratch, but it’s so-able. Worst problem I had was trying to generate realistic height map bit maps.

> I have started writing blog posts on things I have gained technical expertise in. I have no audience so really I write for the hell of it

I think it's good to write down the things you've learned, even if no one reads it, text becomes a valuable exercise and then you will have it much easier to explain for someone what you mean. Not only will you be able to put your coworkers at the same level of understanding of the subject: your team becomes much faster at implementing consensus based decisions.
Assuming the attacker has neither the password nor the OTP seed and must brute-force both (which is what 2FA is all about), the OTP doesn't add more security than the bits it has (about 20 for a 6-digit decimal number), plus the 1 bit because it's not constant. For this reason, I think it's misleading to say that there are moving goalposts or such. Neither the entire attack nor any part of it must be completed within 30 seconds or whatever the refresh interval is of the OTP token. Cracking both is still a classic brute-force attack.
Exactly. And given the size of the country involved, i doubt there are many highspeed intersections. I dont think having pedestrians walking on a 90+kph road will ever be safe. That is a thing in canada and the US. Bicycles ride the shoulder and we have crosswalks across some highways. At highway speeds, clear separation is needed.

Slowing everyone down will mean increasing journey times. Outside of cities, traffic rarely limits speed. Eliminating all accidents wont make calgary any closer to vancouver.

If "if" was a skiff, we'd all take a boat ride.

We don't even really know what "strong AI" is. We have a kind of fuzzy "we'll know it when we see it" definition. We don't even know how we think.

And why is the probe smart enough to chat with the locals in real time? And that's not really the problem. It's not communicating with the locals: it's communicating with us. And then that information being of some actual use.

We are not investigating random rocks on Mars. We are exploring the possibility of moving there. If it can be made hospitable. Part of that is knowing rather dull stuff, like is there water, is it liquid, is the soil poisonous to plant life, etc.

Performing billion dollar archaeology with no actual return is not something that's going to go far. I'm sorry to say. At some point, you have to dedicate some resources to taking care of the population of the planet you are on.

> If our AIs are based on some sort of mind-uploading tech

Or how about we just instantaneously beam there since we can just pretend whatever limitations we know we currently have won't exist in the future.

I don't have a problem with speculating where technology may lead. However, that speculation needs to be grounded in reality. When we sent a man to the moon, we weren't waiting for something fanciful to be created. No, we took what currently existed and expanded upon that.

I had this thought, so it is interesting that it is confirmed elsewhere. I don't know if it always plays into the fact that the trams in Oslo are actually old (according to Wikipedia, from the 80s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Oslo)
I don't have any specific studies to mention, I am afraid, as I've only had them through third party sources. They will be in the books Waking Up by Sam Harris, The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker, and The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt. The last two more specifically.
Note that you're describing the main operating mode in the last paragraph - this holds true for parking lots as it does for other shared spaces (who should be paying attention is somewhat academic).

Over 20 mph, the tires are the main noise source even with gasoline cars (unless you take off the exhaust muffler, which is a bit of a corner case).
> The US, without any doubt, protects the rights of accused person FAR better than ANY European country. Just ask Julian Assange

Since Assange’s entire excuse for his flight from justice is the fear that the whole Swedish and British process has been a pretext for being dragged to the US for an unfair trial, I don't think he'll back you.

Of course, he's also completely nuts. If the US wanted him from the UK, we'd just file charges and seek extradition directly rather than go through some Rube Goldberg Swedish rape charges to get him extradited to a country we have a less-closw relationship with than the UK.

In the beginning, each participant had her own copy of the blockchain, and this decentralization was put forward as an important feature of the system (in practice, we have moved away from that, but anyone can get a copy if they want.) If we were to simply replace each of today's copies of the blockchain 1-to-1 with a distinct distributed copy, then encryption would be fine, but it would not reduce the amount of storage needed globally. This proposal addresses one problem in reducing the the global storage required without creating the situation where, in principle, there might only be one copy of the blockchain, vulnerable to corruption and controlled by one entity, and with that situation not being detectable until too late.

Looked at in this light, the use of distributed storage would appear, at least at first sight, to create another hierarchical relationship, this time between storage providers and ordinary users, analogous perhaps to the hierarchical relationship between miners and ordinary users. I don't know if this would create another 51% issue.
Worries Grow in Singapore Over China’s Calls to Help ‘Motherland’
> The result is that most of the locals are pretty dumb.

It is concerning to me that after approximately 18 years on earth and 12 years of schooling that the locals are still dumb. But as little as two to four more years of school can transform them into smart, well rounded, people capable of understanding complex social issues related to their city and beyond.

It seems the real shame is not that college is expensive, but that we've wasted the time of our youngsters.
Exactly this. I like Instagram but I wish they would optimize for how I want to use it, now how they want me to use it. I want to get on, see stuff from my friends and get off. I want to spend the least amount of time possible on the site and that's something that social media sites seem to think would be bad for them.
Yeah, as I said before in another comment I would be surprised "if the people that designed the Fitbit's period tracking feature did not include or at least consulted women".

I take your comment (and the tweet I linked) as being correct about my assumption.

As a non-American (I am European) I am always amazed about how easily things like that are attributed to gender (non) inclusion in the USA. On the other hand, as a male I have to always wonder if I find these kind of reactions over the top not because I am not American but because of my gender.

Well it seems they aren't pushing toward "serious work with text" based on this article. They are looking for devs to make apps, this means stuff like the NBA app, or games and stuff.

I think you are right about higher resolution being needed for real "work", but since this doesn't run a "real" OS either, i'm not sure how much work you could get done on it anyway.
> However, in Oslo, the only thing that doesn't stop for pedestrians is trams. I don't know why.

Same thing in Amsterdam, although the stopping distance seems fairly short. I think it has mostly to do with minimizing interruptions and being relatively infrequent.

And taxis also never stop, but they don’t seem to stop for anything ever.
I see what you mean, that's very pragmatic, in the sense that accelerating those sorts of question-response makes coding faster.
OP does use the word "imprisonment", but I think it's possible he's actually asking about pre-trial incarceration. OP says he's from Europe, and a lot of countries don't have the jail/prison distinction as in the USA.

Compojure - https://github.com/weavejester/compojure#usage is a very close equivalent of Sinatra. Ring (which most, if not all web libraries build on top of) is directly inspired by Ruby's Rack (I think Python and Node have a very similar, middleware oriented design).

Occam's Razor is not a real logical principle. It would also lead to the conclusion that the reason not much of substance is ever done about computer security in general is because there is someone or some group who earnestly wants to see the rise of action-movie-style supervillains who can walk down the street and see society unwind into chaos around them as ATMs jackpot into the street, airplanes careen out of the sky, power stations blink and surge, all the doors to prison cells fling wide open, and modern cars lock the steering while maxing out the accelerator. Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence. And that's the case here. Electronic voting, if it were magically secure, would be cheaper and more accessible. And it would make some companies like Diebold a bunch of money. So of course it gets pursued.
> How did this article make the New York Times? It’s awful.
