A couple other points. So the Five Eyes certainly have an incentive for dominating the Tor network. But if they actually use it, they also have an incentive for not dominating it too heavily. I mean, that was the whole point of releasing Tor as open-source. Also, don't the Russians and the Chinese also have an incentive for running Tor relays, in order to compromise their adversaries' users?
who enforces the value of crypto really though? what if china just one day starts enforcing a law where to run any mining you have to have an official license(that only state actors get). everyone else gets raided and shutdown. it's easy to see where professional mining rigs are for power companies due to their power consumption.

when is crypto TRULY going to be decentralized and not just limited to agents with immense mining power and exchange? what's the difference in crypto for the end user right now in non-first-world countries is what I want to know.

There is no easy way to convert existing assets into crypto without a framework nor to mine a economically significant chunk of crypto without an economically significant investment.

creating a wallet is easy sure but where do I find someone who can transmit value into my wallet so I can start transacting? there is a lack of an element of "bootstrapping" in crypto for the vast majority of users.
He wasn't necessarily shafted, insuring a 10 year old car is expensive especially if it's a model that is often involved in insurance claims. This is generally true but it will depend on so many factors that it destroys his argument.

It's like saying that he literally has a fake profile because I know a guy redindian and he doesn't have a BMW. Or that the Tesla M3 must be a fake car because I don't own one.
Yeah, that's another key point. What is the alternative?

DOM functions like getElementsByClassName return a nodelist, which as you say behaves like an array.

> Basically, their conclusion was just do it, make the big change.

Either just do it, or just don't do it. Don't sit on the fence. None of life's decisions (save maybe jumping off a bridge) are anywhere near as irreversible as they seem when we're facing them, no matter what we choose, and the worst thing is to remain paralyzed and let both opportunities pass you by.
You seem to be making the naturalistic fallacy in this thread of comments - that which is ought to be. That evolution adapts the species, therefore that is good and any "unnatural" modification of human body is bad.

Once evolution created the human species, a species that is smart and can debate ethics, there is no need to depend on evolution to improve either the species or the individual. Technology and our ethics can allows us and guide us to improve. Whether we like it or not, transhumanism is going to come in the next few centuries and then we will be able to systematically improve our bodies and brains as we chose to improve them, not by the random statistical process of evolution by natural selection.

> Suddenly, our x86 behaves just like RISC: it crashes when a pointer to uint32_t is not aligned by 4.

No, my friend, you're wrong! Neither x86 nor RISC know anything about a pointer to uint32_t!

> The transformation it performed on the program contradicts to the usual expectations of a programmer who is used to x86.

Sorry, but only poor programmers have any expectations related to a CPU architecture when dealing with C, or any other high-level language!

Your compiler did the right thing in assuming you had done the right thing. If the compiler had to protect you against your own errors, it would have to give up providing valuable support to those fellow programmers who do their homework
correctly.
That's like saying that a scam company that claims to sell a widget that makes your car go at 500 mph, with a mileage of 1000 mpg is not 'claiming something previously thought impossible to be possible.'

Cars exist, and fast cars exist, and people mod cars, so obviously, it should be possible to soup up my Honda Civic with their amazing invention.

Theranos claimed that they had technology that could perform accurate blood tests on tiny samples of blood, drawn from a finger. For many tests, this is currently believed to be impossible (with sufficient accuracy.)
MetroPCS is T-Mobile under different branding. T-Mobile is fairly open about their throttling practices (you have to purchase their "ONE Plus" plan to have un-throttled video), but MetroPCS puts it in their rather long "Network Disclosure"[0]: "All current MetroPCS plans include video optimization features that are always enabled, which, when connected to the cellular network, deliver a DVD quality (typically 480p) video experience at up to 1.5 Mbps with minimal buffering while streaming ("Data Maximizer"). Customers may, for an additional charge, add on a native resolution video feature, disabling optimization for their device. Some qualifying video providers may choose to self-optimize their video content or opt-out of the Data Maximizer program."

This works with array-like objects which aren't arrays. It's important if you want to support older browsers which don't implement NodeList.forEach(). Well, it's really just for old IE.

If you're targeting modern browsers this is no longer an issue, as they all support NodeList.forEach(). It's worth noting that many DOM APIs return live collections, so depending on what you're doing you might want to clone it first. Luckily now with ES2015 you can use Array.from(list) or just [...list].
And Chinese vocabulary is rather small and extremely systematic, so those 1000 or so characters form a solid base for understanding. Far from looking up every other character or so. Only a few % of encountered characters are not among the first 2000.

The biggest AWS outage in the past 3 years was S3 being down in one region for 2 hours in Feb 2018 ...

No other regions were affected, except for global APIs (e.g. create S3 bucket), which one shouldn't rely on on your critical path.

Many new customer features have been delivered to allow mitigation of this kind of failure (e.g. cross-region S3 replication).

AWS had a power failure at one data-center in us-east-1 earlier this year, which had very little impact (basically only customers who didn't have sufficient redundancy in other AZs were affected).

> but it's still a group invasion of privacy.

You shouldn't expect any privacy regarding anything you do at or for work (other than using the restroom). The email and chat servers are theirs, and they have every right to read the emails. Good companies will at least tell you when they're reading your email, but legally they don't even have to do that.
By making it visible, people would be more cognizant of which sites have poor experiences or have a big impact on their computer.

You can't simplify this problem down to "This uses more RAM than an arbitrary threshold therefore it's a problem." If I spend 99% of my time using an app then I want it to cache hundreds of megabytes of data in to memory so I can work fast. Saying it's a bad experience if it does that is wrong.
Jeff Bezos "Regret Minimization Framework" [1]

A regret minimization framework
"I wanted to project myself forward to age 80 and say, 'Okay, now I'm looking back on my life. I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have,'" explains Bezos. "I knew that when I was 80 I was not going to regret having tried this. I was not going to regret trying to participate in this thing called the Internet that I thought was going to be a really big deal. I knew that if I failed I wouldn't regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried. I knew that that would haunt me every day, and so, when I thought about it that way it was an incredibly easy decision."

Something I'm also really interested in is the perspective that I may do advanced routing with my phone (although, I guess it could fit in the "manipulate every aspect of it" category).

4g has gotten really good those latest years, I've stopped using landline connection and just use my phone as wifi hotspot for everything. But this also means I don't have NAT and thus don't have a local network, which is super annoying when I want to transfer big files from one computer to the other (not that I don't have enough options between usb keys, bluetooth send or cloud sharing, but it's just not as convenient as scp).

Can't wait to finally be able to properly configure my phone as a router.
Really? It just looks compact and efficient to me.

> Theranos doesn't have anything to do with biomedical science

Doesn't it? Wasn't that the main claim of the company? To have the technology that allows to do a lot of tests with very small amounts of blood? In your description it sounds like "Theranos had a great idea, unfortunately the technology was not read", like some kind of mild inconvenience that stopped something brilliant. Like "My company wants to build flying cars based on anti-matter reactors. The technology doesn't exist but, apart from that, isn't my idea brilliant?"
It's just Exchange models extended beyond the breaking point to try and support real-time chat, and it really, really shows. Any time we enter a client that still uses 'Skype for Business', you know you're in for a rough time.
The authors is quite lazy or cannot type fast enough, so he has to create all those cryptic abbreviations: `rks` for `ranks`, `unv` for `unvote`, etc. Which makes it really hard to read.

But it's especially the inconsistent use of camelcase in function names than makes me think it's pretty amateurish.

Exactly, those function names hurt my brain:

The fact that there is still the potential for jailbreaks in iOS surprises me and doesn't seem to help the secure-by-default argument.

Why is a trillion-dollar company which designs their own silicon only two steps ahead of some hackers? Instead of $200 billion in the bank, unspent, shouldn't those devices be reviewed and redesigned until impregnable?

Computing devices are usually insecure due to limits on experience, time and cost. None of those applies to Apple in any meaningful manner.

Personally I'll just stick with cheap Android phones running custom ROMs and treat them as insecure, disposable terminals.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. "Evolution" occurs, but we've already freed ourselves from the grasp of biological evolution, and are already employing a much more efficient and effective human-controlled evolution. There is no need for death of individuals to play a part in this any longer. Most of our adaptations can be freely removed and replaced without harming their user.
Why would you want to jail innocent people?

Sorry to be a devils advocate but past administration loosened up rules based on which you were or were not supposed to be eligible for a loan to an extent which it should never be.

Unless you want to jail George Bush or some of his staff members, there is not so much fault around to put on people working in financial sector.
The GDPR was a huge blessing for everyone who was tired of large companies, many of them from the States (which wouldn't matter except the attitude of "you can go fuck yourself" is much stronger in US companies) trampling all over their right to privacy. It has made the privacy situation in the EU a lot better. If that doesn't help you, it sucks for you - but saying it's a mistake is denying the nuances that are present in the situation.

As a counter point, I woke up today to this weird email: https://bit.ly/2wMpPL3

Picture is from 2011 and was originally hosted on Picasa (but I'm pretty certain it was never shared publicly) and I don't have a Google Plus account. If I go to the picture itself on Photos, there's no sharing/privacy controls, so I'd assume it is private.

The wording on the email makes it even worse, as if I had intentionally done something overnight to share them on Maps.
I think the reason he's so popular within the tech community is because he's _very_ relatable to some of us in a dark way. Most tech people see themselves as artistic geniuses who can hack things like TempleOS, but almost all are also suffering from mental illness in some way. Sure, being socially awkward in conversation isn't exactly comparable to Terry's schizophrenia; still it's very easy to reflect our physiological fears on him these days where depression (or detection of depression) rates have skyrocketed.

I don't know, maybe I'm more crazy than average, but this feels like a good explanation of why people are so obsessed with him. Not every homeless person in the US gets enough donation money from 4chan to run their own website and video show.
You must realize that sometimes, your interests will diverge from your employers

But Unions span multiple employers and have the last word over any grievance you might have. You lose standing as an individual to negotiate with or complain to management.

And when union leadership and management collaborate against the best interests of employees, you're really screwed. I've been there.

Skype in general was, for me, always one of the "how the hell can they be so successful and so crappy at the same time" experiences. Calls are ok (not more than that), but everything else - UI, resource utilization, pricing, and especially messaging - is just horrible.

Messages are so unreliable and inconsistent that they can only be used for something where you don't care that much if it's ever going to be received - which is, I'd assume, not that often. I had a message from my colleague - sitting next to me every day and having Skype open every day same as me - arriving suddenly 6 days after he sent it. And dozens of minutes of delay is just normal.

I mean everyone had instant messaging figured out long before Skype - ICQ, AIM, Yahoo, MSN...It's just inexcusable.
I'm questioning the soundness of such setup in general, and especially if it means that losing connection to a third-party prettifier makes you unable to work on your own codebase.
They missed the sampling effect across ages. I've seen it in action quite a few times already. Prior: Conditional on Having a fitbit, the 70 yr old is a larger deviant from average health, than the 30 yr old. That effect could easily explain away the falling RHR with older age. The population in that age group is getting more healthy by self-sampling. The proposed solution in the article (the use of beta-blockers) seems inadequate. What proportion of the population and the Fitbit-users is on those medicines? (Article does mention some stats in the multicountry comparison.)

As always the bayesian/multilevel approach could help: buying a Fitbit is a decision with information on your health-status in itself, model it likewise. Add information on weigth, BMI, activities per week etc. as indicators of in which class of users you fall (the uberfit, healthy, the aspiring, ...). Then use the predicted RHR per age instead of the data itself.

To be honest comparing the insurance between old and new cars isn't that relevant either [0] (random example). The vast majority of people don't understand how insurance works and what are the criteria. Old cars are expensive to insure because they tend to be more expensive for the insurance company.

Do you really think that fixing a car where the parts are very rare and expensive, in authorized garages that are rare and expensive, while taking a very long time because there's no network for servicing will be as cheap as fixing any regular equivalent car that does have that servicing network?

Any car that's expensive to fix will have more expensive premiums. And expensive to fix usually means: it's often involved in accidents, parts are expensive, garages that fix it are expensive, takes a long time to fix. Tesla checks the last 3 out of the 4 main boxes in most regions in the world.

We ran into this as well as our business used Skype for all internal communication for a time, and it was also used for remote interviews, because in the past most people has a Skype username. Now most don't, and Skype pushes that you sign up with your phone number, which is very hard to find, especially if you're linking to someone not from your country. There is no indicator if they used their local number, their number with the country code, their number with some combination of this, and so on. Likewise, it's not as simple as look for their number and add, you need to add them as a contact first then you can message them.

It's really unintuitive and contrary to how people use Skype. It's using the method whatsapp, telegram, et.al use, but they don't really have a discoverability feature. You know someone, or you don't until you know someone who does.

Skype should either have just ditched the username search or embraced it. They tried to make it both, but they really didn't pull it off well, and now there is an entire subset of the userbase you cannot find with their find feature.
