I'm worried based on some of the comments that people might be reading only the Impartial view and not also the Left-bias and Right-bias versions of the same story. I'd strongly suggest reading all three versions of a story before using the slider to provide feedback on the various versions.

This is great work! I have wanted some version of this news site for years and have been making sketches for how it would work. My working title for the site is "Unspun" and very similar in spirit, except instead of the "Impartial" view, the "center" would just be a list of facts about things that happened that were referenced in both a Left and Right version of an article. And there would be lines connecting the center facts to where they show up (if they do at all) in the Left and Right articles. I'm pretty happy with this format, but I still kind of want to see all 3 versions at the same time so I can cross-reference. But I must like it because I just sent links to a whole bunch of friends and family. :-)
Very cool project! Close to my heart. I write ExpanDrive

http://www.expandrive.com

Which operates with the same idea, up to a 10Gb local cache and will stream out larger files. Supports a huge number of storage back ends (Dropbox, Google Drive/GCS, Amazon S3/Drive, OneDrive, SFTP, etc). Also can pin files and trees into the cache.
There are vegan protein powders. Most athletes aren't getting all their dietary protein from food and are supplementing with protein powder.
I'd assume so based on both Gtk, Qt, WxWidgets, and Curses supporting more platforms (e.g. BSDs). Certainly qmake is leagues ahead of the messes that Electron and VS Code use.

Edit: None of this is helped with the absolutely shittacular support that Node has for non-Linux unicies. Multi-platform support is one of those things that Rust really gets right.

Rare-earths are not actually rare.

The know-how is kind of a problem, but it's really the cheap labour, the zero rights they have (i.e. work now for 12 hours a day no bathroom break), the externalization of things like pollution etc..

It's possible to move most of that to the US ... but it would be complex and expensive. There's no reason to do it today.
It's about time I have a link to send people that make super played out vegan jokes. I love teasing and having a laugh at the expense of myself, but it's super old to see vegetarian-hating jokes equating it to being weak.
It’s theater. Political terrorism is not the most pressing threat we should worry about as a global society... I doubt it’s even in the top 5.
Social acceptance is a very powerful tool to manipulate people to say the least but yeah, I agree overall, people need to grow up in terms of their anti-veganism.
In the second paragraph: "In 2017, a reported 11 Titans had gone vegan".
Anecdotally, after moving to a plant based diet, I feel a lot healthier and have a lot more energy.

I think that the main reason is less that meat itself is unhealthy though, but that I used to basically eat meat and carbs with little in the way of vegetables. Steak and chips isn't a very nutritionally complete meal.

Of course it's possible to eat shit food while still being a vegan. Oreos and fries are vegan.
Yes, it would, but our government agencies and officials are paid by Equifax to NOT draft and strictly enforce regulations to prevent this.
Great work so far Chris! Keep up the great work!
I do something similar for http://pavpanchekha.com/ (I describe the approach here: http://pavpanchekha.com/blog/org-mode-publish.html). I've found it a pretty good blogging platform so far. A huge plus is the diversity of markup (definition lists, tables, footnotes, info boxes, and so on) that are directly supported, plus the ease of directly embedding raw HTML (for things like diagrams and charts).

But one challenge I've struggled with is how to generate full-content RSS quickly. I like that my blog's RSS includes the full blog post (since that's how I like reading posts) but Emacs wants to recompile every post every time I update the site—that takes minutes.
This is getting scary. I always had the impression that Trend Micro was a reputed, well-established security company. Why they would sacrifice that brand for a quick buck is beyond me.

Hm, appears to be an alternate (new? Old?) syntax for:

"Cargo will take the latest commit and write that information out into our Cargo.lock when we build for the first time. That file will look like this:

You can see that there’s a lot more information here, including the exact revision we used to build."

Interestingly it's the centralized network that will grow radically more powerful, while the home devices continue to stagnate.

The total capacity of infrastructure entities like AWS will increase by 10x at a minimum over the next decade. By comparison, your phone or laptop will modestly nudge forward. Consumers are not going to buy 10x the number of laptops, desktops and smartphones that they do today, ten years out. Most likely, those figures will barely move (the smartphone industry is already stagnating). Most of the incremental spending and investment will go into the centralized infrastructure by the giants.

Network speeds will continue to increase relatively rapidly. We can easily go from routine 50-100mbps home lines to 1gbps over the next decade. We're not going to see a 10x increase in the power of the average laptop (lucky if it doubles in ten years). It's primarily going to be useful for streaming/consuming very large amounts of data from epic scale central systems for gaming, 4K+, VR, etc. Decentralized systems owned by consumers will be far too weak to fill that role.

The AI future isn't going to be decentralized. The very expensive infrastructure that will demand, and its need to run 24/7, will be centralized and owned by extraordinarily large corporations.

It's precisely the typical consumer's home hardware that will act as the ultimate bottleneck guaranteeing decentralized can never take off. This has always been obvious, it won't prevent the fantasy from maintaining its allure of course. That will perpetually draw headlines and hype in tech, for decades to come, with no mass adoption breakthrough.
Am I correct in undesrtanding no consideration is being made for server-executed code?

How is access control implemented?

It seems like this basically only applies to web content you want to give everyone access to and can have 100% of application logic run client-side.

That's a pretty narrow cross-section of the existing web...
Again, what's the solution? For people to care to vote for change, they need to care to research and understand the subject themselves, and then consider it a priority after researching well. I doubt that happens. People are getting the politicians they deserve, not the politicians they need.
I think Borg or Tarsnap use the right approach here: a map of blocks, updating a file updates only the changed block(s). It balances the efficiency of updates and the completeness of the copy. Sort of like FAT filesystem, only with block-level deduplication built in.

Of course you don't get a nice mirror of your files right in the cloud, unless you run a separate server that reconstructs it and makes available as traditional buckets.
> It's the only box that can stay online with a stable connection 24/7.

My router stays online 24/7. It already has a web server built in. I could hack it to make it serve a public website.

But there’s absolutely no way I’m going to do that. The security and maintenance requirements are just too much of a PITA.

It’s much easier, more secure and more reliable (and likely cheaper once you figure in depreciation and opportunity costs) to set up and maintain an instance in the cloud, or a serverless site.

And if you don’t like the big cloud providers, there are many smaller outfits that can do the basics - compute and object storage are all you really need for a small site.

Consumer hardware and software are not really well suited to running publicly faceing websites.
Quantum entanglement seems poised to provide real-time interstellar communication.

That makes for good science fiction, because Quantum Mechanics is so poorly understood by most people, but it’s in no way possible or implied by the theory. Any entangled channel of communication would appear to be random noise without a Classical channel of communication, which effectively limits entanglement to light speed.

The first answer gives a nice explanation in depth. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/203831/ftl-commu...

The key point is this:

Alice therefore still measures two overlapping bell curves, overall! Where are the interference patterns?! That is very simple: when Bob and Alice compare their measurements in the first case, Bob's 0-measurement can be used to "filter" Alice's patterns...

That comparison is what requires the Classical channel, and we’re back to light speed. If you try to use a Quantum channel to compare you just have two things to compare and a lot of noise.

It's not that we are doomed to forget it. It's that humans ultimately don't care. We are selfish creatures.

The most obvious example is what the jews did to palestines in palestine/israel a few years after ww2. Look at what we did in vietnam/laos/iraq/etc. Look at what the chinese are doing to their minorities. Look at what happened in rwanda. Did we all forget ww2? Of course not.

The idea that we are doomed to repeat history if we forget it is nonsense. The nazis didn't forget about the history of the native genocide in the US. They actually studied it and they learned from it and they improved upon it.

Think about it, neo-nazis want to remember the past just as much as the holocaust survivors. But for different reasons.

As long as people have their creature comforts and are well fed and content, we'll pretend to be civilized and caring and charitable. When that gravy train dries up, we just resort to our natural tribal state.

Nobody forgot the native genocides, but the holocaust happened. Nobody forgot the holocaust, but the rwandan genocide happened.

There are overt pressures and subtle social inconveniences to anyone on a non-mainstream or non-omnivore diet.

"Hey wanna come over to a BBQ at our place on Saturday?" might be awkward for a vegan to respond to, just as "Hey, wanna come over for spaghetti night?" would be for someone on a low-carb diet without any specific disrespect or disapproval from the host about the particular diet. I'm assuming you wouldn't recommend telling someone to "fuck off" for inviting you to a BBQ.
I have an YouTube channel, mostly for personal stuff. I did some effort to record some videos about several subjects, none had more than a hundred viewers. Then, in a sudden, a very shaky and short video with a Mallet steam locomotive punctured the Algorithm Wall and had thousands of views per day... I was even making $20/mo off YouTube until the early 2018 changes took place.

And the fact is, divisive content is king these days. Nobody, humans or algorithms, are interested in balanced opinions these days.

That said, perhaps it's the _initial_ grand slam success and money that is the aberration (like app store hits at their peak), and the "bad side" is simply a sort of market correction where you've got to do unenjoyable things roughly commensurate with the payoff.

Unless you're relying on your YouTube channel for money, who cares what subscribers want? What's the worst they can do? Unsubscribe. No big deal--you're not trying to make money.

I've put up a few YouTube videos, I've got a few GitHub repos, etc. I don't even care how many likes or views or stars they get. I almost never even go back to the pages. When I publish something on the web I do it because I already finished it, and I think maybe someone else might like it or find it useful. But I'm not going to change what I like to do based on likes or stars. That sounds backwards.

I've never once in my life did something as a hobby and asked myself "How can I optimize for how many people will like/use this?"
Well, that's a strange question. It's mostly how people talk to each other - we don't ordinarily hear e.g.

Teacher: What's 8+9? Tommy: Uh..11. Teacher: No, that's a lie!

It seems that particularly in heated political contexts, people enjoy calling false statements lies, and don't notice or care that what they're themselves saying isn't true. The end justifies the means, anything that scores points in the fight is good, even the same or worse than what you're accusing the other guy of doing.
Telsa is the Elon Musk Show. Most people can't even name the CEO of another car company. For better or worse, the valuation of Telsa is predicated on the perceived genius leadership of Musk. And that is entirely due to choices made by Musk.

He could have pursued Tesla in a quiet, modest way. Instea of making bold predictions, he could have underpromised and overdelivered, letting results do the talking. He could have stayed out of the limelight, remaining just another CEO.

We all know what he did instead. And that surely got him a low cost of capital and a ton of free PR, so it's reasonable to argue it was the right business move. But having put himself in the spotlight and made it all about Elon, I don't think it's reasonable to claim it's unfair that he's now in the spotlight.

If we're being purely rational, people shouldn't care about the technology genius mystique, and they shouldn't worship high-profile business executives. But they do, and Musk grabbed that with both hands. He can't do that, glory in the upsides, and be upset about the downsides. It's a package deal.
hmmmm. I hadn't been here since Friday, and now I see this link shared after I was randomly on this wikipedia entry 30 minutes ago... That's odd.
It doesn't even use JavaScript.
The hard part is that increased tx power beyond about +18 also increases noise - 33dBm might work for OOK or BPSK modulation with a 5000MHz wide channel each way, FDD, but the commercial 10Gbps radios available now use from 64-128-256QAM to achieve 10GbE in reasonable channel sizes. Using all 5000MHz works, but limits the number of radios you can Colo on one roof. Ever seen the first generation of Bridgewave and gigabeam 71-86GHz radios? OOK modulated for 1GbE.

It's also possible FB's tests are using channels even wider than 5GHz with STA from the FCC.

Hell, it's the only thing that can.
Interesting. When I was looking at potential options this summer, I mostly just responded to inbound interest on LinkedIn (including recruiters who had contacted me several months previously but I had told them at the time I wasn’t looking to switch). I spoiled up a few other options off of interviewing.io, and ended up heavily culling companies to keep my interview load manageable (especially since I was working full time).

Of course, I was in the Bay Area working for a reputable company (Asana), so that probably greatly affected my success rate.

Why? We have a preponderance of men and that's somehow considered evidence of discrimination against women, with people getting fired over suggesting that it might be due to talent or preference and not discrimination. We have a preponderance of whites and that's considered discrimination against non-whites, with many articles bashing white men. We have a preponderance of jews relative to their population share and that's somehow not evidence of discrimination, the chosen people are above criticism. Whats the difference Dan?
Well, if you only name the things that got worse or haven’t improved of course everything sucks.
Yeah, cool - thank you for the questions, kingnight.

1. So this answer is a bit convoluted because I am still learning, wish I could keep it short. So my setup might be a bit 'naughty' because I'm currently saving the 'key' in my JS in a seperate dat. Right now I have one dat that acts as the 'admin' and one that is the actual blog - but I am going to move to hyperdb (the new solution for multi-writer support.) There are actually a couple libraries cropping up for doing this sort of thing and I'm not up on all of them. So this is more of a 'need to make up my mind' thing than a capability thing with Beaker. There are a TON of libraries and a TON of possibilities - (there's an 'awesome dat' page that just goes on and on and on...) - but I am still researching a better way (and, who knows, maybe my way is fine.) I want something that could be in place ten years from now - because I do think JS and HTML will.

2. No, files can get replaced. Not sure if that is your question. Yes the undesirable will persist in the history, but you can overwrite it. I can prevent bad content, though, by checking it in my JS code and allowing a preview first.

3. Yeah this is a problem - there is a Bunsen Browser in development, but I haven't tried it. I am honestly okay with everyone browsing through HTTPS, though - I like Beaker for the admin tool. Again, I have a browser-based blog software without needing to run a server anywhere at all.
It's why I stopped going regularly. The smell and of course during winter, the constant coughing. But mostly the smell.

Wish libraries would be quicker about growing their online presence. I still don't know why they have stacks and stacks of books on shelves. And why do they have so many cds and dvds? Why not move it all online?
I've thought about this, too. I think the real problem is that your content should stand alone, and a program should come along to enhance it. Think of it like putting emacs in the browser to convert your org files. Or [gopher].

- Most of your job is to make people happy. Communicate well. Coming from pure research, it might feel a little uncomfortable at first. Remember, you're there to consult, and that happens to involve writing code.

- Go to hackathons to learn to ship code fast and get used to building "skateboards". Learn how to make tradeoffs that optimize for development speed. It's not about writing crappy code, it's about optimizing for the right variables at the right time. There are now a lot of real world variables to consider.

- Practice Kanban. Divide and conquer your projects. Make small and focused pull requests. You will naturally start strategizing on how to do things right while you're doing things quickly.

- Using category theory and functional programming in your code, but being practical about it so others can read it, will really help when it comes to writing unit tests. Unguided polymorphism is from the devil.
I'd hazard to say that the concept of "wiki" is what successfully implemented that early vision of editable WWW.

Wiki markup is different from HTML markup, but it represents many of the same (early) text-formatting and resource-linking concepts, while limiting the excessively powerful features of arbitrary layout, scripting, etc.
This is a trade off. It's always easy to write unreadable stuff, hard to write stuff that's easy to read, and very hard to write stuff that's easy to read yet long enough to say something worth hearing.
