Well, sure, I'll give you that point, but it's going to happen.

The selling point isn't the specs. It's the RYF certification and kill switches. Even if they can't get the RYF, it's still a better option than anything else out there.

I really doubt that. They have a laptop business already. They've been doing hardware for a while. This one might ship months late, but I'm confident it will happen.

Yep, and you still have a sealed battery, a backdoored baseband, and binary blobs. The iMX.8 is pretty sweet. It has open source GPU. Can't say that for mali or powervr. I can consider making Librem 5 my convergence device.
Is there anywhere we can track the growth of these platforms though? For entrepreneurs, we need to understand the opportunity, not to menation OS developers adding support to their browsers to make this mainstream.
I heavily disagree regarding deep local relationships. While those are important, people seem to forget how important passing acquaintances are and how useful they can be in saving off loneliness. Not every interaction needs to be deep in order to have value.

Yeah, I keep reading about the software developer shortage “crisis”, but nothing about the real world seems to reflect it. There’s a shortage of the top 1% of software developers (“top” being defined by where you went to college and where else you’ve worked, not actual programming ability) - but that’s it.

I partially agree with your analysis, though I think our system is definitely better, just by reasoning about human nature.

An oligarchy is efficient but can be oppressive. Also, the ancient Greeks figured that an oligarchy naturally evolved into an even more efficient government, a dictatorship (see Xi's purges of rivals, and preparing the stage to retain power indefinitely). And a dictatorship eventually always ends up in the hands of an incapable, uncaring, or downright cruel person, leading to misery for everyone.

My understanding is that was why we put so many checks and balances in the US government, we'd rather do things our own complicated way than submit to a tyrant.

The only problem would be if the US system becomes so weak that it was vulnerable to being conquered by a tyrannical system that was at the height of its power.
Legitimate concern.

Most humans can't make much sense of anything more than 50-100 node graph at a time. At a graph size of containing 50-100 nodes or lesser which is a rather small graph, huge variety of graph algorithms are not very helpful.
These libraries are good to experiment with each layout algorithm but ultimately a graph analysis most of the time involves exploration and querying, like a repl and making sense of that. Most frontend js libraries will not be helpful in doing that.

It's a surprise that there is no robust backend library that does graph layout.

It's interesting to look how Exchange ActiveSync handles this. They do a hanging request to the server, and the client keeps track of when the connection closes, and negotiates with the server to push the keepalive ping time up and up, until the device hits the carrier TCP timeout. The client then knows how long it can stay asleep before having to wake up to "PING" to keep the connection open.
I would have thought a society with a future would want to increase college attendance even if it increased housing supply that ate into profits on land ownership.

I would argue that if we now let land pricing affect the ability of the smartest and most energetic people in society to get the education they deserve, then we are up a creek. If even universities are disliked through nibyism then we are way up that creek.
Interesting. Jinan is the modern center of Shandong province, one of China's oldest continuously inhabited provinces according to the traditional view of the growth of Chinese civilization. It is pretty much denuded after 3,000 years of intensive agriculture, so any means to reuse food waste is welcome. If anyone has the chance to visit, the nearby town of Linzi has a musuem of cuju[0], an ancient Chinese game which FIFA recognized as the earliest form of association football. The ancient capital of Qingzhou[1] is fascinating, with some of the oldest mosques and most important Buddhist statuary as well as carved Buddhist grottoes on nearby mountains and a huge picturesque park-valley dividing in the middle of town. And the nearby town of Dezhou[2] holds the tomb of a Philippino Muslim sultan who is thought to have been murdered by the Chinese after failing to display appropriate deference to the Emperor. Then of course there's the home of Confucius - Qufu[3], the old German treaty port of Qingdao[4], etc. Not a bad province for those with historical inclinations!

On the subject of food waste, we are planning to collect and recycle from our food robots but this may be hampered by regulations frustrating importing food waste across the Chinese/HK and Chinese/Macau borders. We shall see.

There is an easy contrarian view about decentralization: even if a decentralized protocol wins, at the end it is all about the UI/UX/Aggregation which clearly cannot be decentralized. For example, OpenBazaar can be great but the one who develop the best UI and search engine will win.

It's hard to remember the lessons without remembering how we learned them, but it happens sometimes. The founding ideals of the modern world rose from the ashes of the Thirty Years War, and they stuck around pretty well even after that war passed from living memory.

Sadly, the lessons learned from the 20th century didn't even seem to survive that long. If anything, the very ideas that the 20th century utterly discredited are poised to overturn even the Enlightenment.

This reminds me heavily on the 'perfect food' issue primarily in western countries. Every apple that's not pretty, every cucumber that's not straight and so on. All just goes from the supermarket into a bin.

It's a really horrible amount of waste that easily could solve many issues around poverty and hunger, but yet, very little action. Good to see more momentum around food waste.
Here is a real, widespread, horrifying example:

Amongst many things, recall how banks got away with a slap on the wrist for the whole Robo-Signing scandal. (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_United_States_foreclosure...)

If an average individual had done this, they would face charges (and they should.) But mysteriously when it is done tens of thousands of times it somehow becomes legitimate. I'm a pretty liberal person but I am deeply disappointed in the previous US administration for not pursuing this scandal towards justice.
Oh come on. If those crops die off en-masse or those NASA probes keep crashing into the countryside, you don’t need a degree or specific knowledge on the subject to know that something is wrong.
It's not ageism to hire someone asking for less money over someone asking for more money.

If they can't find a job because they want more money than the market is willing to give them then they clearly don't know how much they're worth.
FYI: Ships have always had accurate azimuth targeting, but not range (distance.) Stationary radar (ships, submarines, planes) in WW2 greatly helped the USA and Britain, but there's some twists most people don't know about.

The ship-borne radar range of about 70 miles usually did not give enough time to scramble fighters to altitude to be effective in the Midway-era, for example.

US submarines were actually able to sink Japanese ships using radar exclusively, without ever visually seeing the target.

The USA had "VT code-word" shells with radar proximity fuses that were 5x more effective than other shells. They were used as a last resort to keep them Top Secret. So they were used in tough battles like Sicily and Okinawa, and over ocean (the Marianas turkey shoot and the kamikaze era.)

I think the web is still so new that people will really struggle to understand a decentralized web. Even 20 years on and .com still reigns supreme as the best TLD around.

I'm in tech and I'm interested in a decentralized web but I also feel that throwing the baby out with the bathwater isn't a great idea. The article says, "The decentralised web, or DWeb, could be a chance to take control of our data back from the big tech firms." To me it sounds like we're basically saying, "ok Facebook/Google/Twitter/Instagram... you're all too big to regulate so we're going to build A WHOLE NEW INTERNET". If they're smart enough to pollute the current system, they're smart enough to pollute a new system. In fact, these corporations are so big that you'll find out eventually that they've funded quite a bit of this decentralized web.

As a parent, I would feel at least a little better seeing some bankers, Pharma bros, tech execs, etc. actually go to jail and have their lives ruined for their blatant disregard of pretty much everything. I don't want to tell my kids, "well, we're too dumb to regulate the internet so we made another one.. and that one got messed up too... herp derp"

I think the problem with that strategy is that harm is generally done on a large scale until someone prevents it from continuing.
Fascinating. You're against those Americans who have little education and few job prospects from having jobs from a $1 trillion company that makes large margins on their products.

As it is, little of the value added is from China. Final assembly could be done in the US and probably not impact Apple margins to a noticeable degree.

As things are, Foxconn is adding many, many robots which can be used in the US as well.

But, for heavens sake, try to have some empathy for others. It was this lack of empathy, particularly from the Clintonites calling these poor people "deplorables" that got Trump elected in the first place.

""In every other field, it is obvious that more pay == more and better candidates""

I don't see evidence to bank this claim.

I've spent 10yr+ doing hiring, for devs and other roles. Candidate quality and wage offered rarely coincide.

Currently I've got four high quality employee who are all under market wage wise.

But! My (small) company is fun! There is upward mobility (eg CSRs becoming SDET), new skills opportunity (eg: Senior devs doing customer interviews/site-visits). Folks can see their work being used and participate directly in the feedback loop.

IMO a "rewarding opportunity" attracts better candidates, money offered just gets me more candidates.

Modern webdesign, along with most of modern "computing", threw common sense out the window along with most of history in a quest to create the most bland, shapeless, flat websites and apps full of white space as far as the mouse can scroll. I can see flattening out things. but for the love of god use the damn pixels for drawing things like text and graphics instead of white nothingness.
"Submitted, rejected and still posted online by the Wild-and-Crazy Session at ASPLOS 1998". We are now at the twenty years anniversary and the ideas are still wild and crazy and increasingly relevant. Reconfigurable Data Flow are now the best way to solve problems which challenge the performance and capabilities of more traditional machines.

As Max Plank observed: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." Or because there is a technology shift and the only way to solve the problem is to rethink the architecture of the machine used to solve the problem.
Thanks. Also, so many guardian stories all of a sudden.
I'm glad this is getting attention. I was vegan for a while, but couldn't handle the constant social pressures. However, I'm now mostly a home cook with basic non-processed ingredients, lots of veggies, and low fat protein -- I've taken this to the point where I make my own breads.

I find if I eat too many processed foods my chronic depression comes back. So eating simply and regular exercise is how I stay off antidepressants and perform better at every aspect of my life.

Notes on “A Philosophy of Software Design.”
Well done. As others noted, I feared worse based on the headline.

But I think it's really important to replace the "left bias"<>"right bias" slider with a button and text field that simply requests users to report non-neutrality in the write-up, without identifying it as "left" or "right".

Reduction to left/right is rarely helpful and often unhelpful. For most issues complex/significant enough to warrant headline, there isn't -- or shouldn't be -- a monolithic "left" or "right" position one could be biased towards.

Is an authoritarian bias left or right? Is a populist bias left or right? Or is a pro-universal-income bias left or right? Is legislative supremacy as opposed to judicial supremacy a left or right bias?

Better to get the yes/no data about perceived non-neutrality and then analyze the qualitative comment.
Yes, for people interested in solving problems this way.

Don't get me wrong! I am not cheering on this sort of thing. It's almost Dickensian, and I am no socialist—not by a mile.
You might be part a special cohort with early access to this 'feature'.

There are a couple ways to do it. For example, you can track incog users by abusing cert pinning with HPKP report URIs. Expect-CT (the successor to HPKP) would also be vulnerable to this attack.

> Divisive content is the king of online media today, and YouTube heavily boosts anything that riles people up [...]

I look upon this idea skeptically. In my experience, the content delivered to me is as divisive as the videos I've already watched. If someone is getting divisive content, that's probably the content that they want to watch. Is it really up to YouTube to determine if a person has been watching content that's too divisive, like a bartender who cuts off a someone who's had too many drinks?

When I log out of my YouTube account or open YouTube in incognito mode, all I see are viral videos and nothing that's "divisive". For example, the YouTube homepage without being logged in shows prank videos, Rube Goldberg type fascination videos, educational videos, Mexican music, daytime TV crap, SNL skits, and pop music.

So basically, in order to get to the divisive stuff, you have to already be using search queries that will bring one to political commentators.

But then what should be done? If someone is watching a lot of videos by the far left, should the recommended videos proportionally include more videos by right wing commentators? Is this really what people want?

Sorry that this is tangental from the actual point of the article, but I've read of this idea multiple times before and it's always asserted as if it's a matter of fact, but I'm not sure I buy it.
