Working on your car exposes you to the fruits of a bona fide engineering process: objects that are carefully designed, work reliably, and are made with serviceability in mind.

I think that's panglossian. There was no public place with the type of content on Reddit 30 years ago. It didn't exist outside of zines. Things change.

This isn't the best of all possible worlds. This is the 1930s, compared to the 1920s. It's the 1970s, compared to the 1960s. A reversal in attitude is inevitable.

And Reddit is not a good representation of humanity, even now. It skews to certain demographics (eg: advertisers, certain types of adolescents, interest groups, etc).

Is "ruthless moderation" ever okay? Is it okay to "ruthlessly moderate" a website if people post kiddie porn? Or bomb-making instructions? Or leaked private photographs? I wouldn't get used to the way things are now, because the backlash to all the destructive garbage on the internet is likely to turn it all upside down.

You can't take people like that too seriously, the world is filled with plenty of nuts. During the Bush vs Gore chaos right after the election, the people - from another developed nation - I was working with on a start-up told me they hoped the US would collapse into civil war over it (they wanted to see the US suffer a political catastrophe for a change, they said).
These will be artists who are already famous and have fans and distribution channels and will be able to sell there art for lots of money, probably helping pay for the trip. Also their art will be viewed by many people, so it will impact many people that way. So it is significant in that way.
I wondered why they didn't just electrify the line but then I saw the picture and it is so much more beautiful than overhead lines.

But I guess the question is, can you create a third rail that's ~100% safe? Walking along tracks is fun, and I think an important part of rural society.

Then I'd be interested in the cost benefit.
Ha. If you were looking to win the "farthest from San Francisco" game, I think you just did.

>> People overtly profess whatever they need to overtly profess, and then go on to covertly follow emergent incentives.

This is a universal truth, and it is probably the main reason why a company needs a well defined mission, vision, and core values. They provide a way for individuals' emergent incentives to align toward a common goal.

I'm by no means an expert for self driving cars or auto-pilots, so take it is just my personal impression.

It seems that developers for self driving cars are dealing with a very different, and in some ways more difficult, environment than aircraft auto-pilots. While cars only have to deal with two dimensions instead of three and cars are still less complex machines compared to planes there are a lot more challenges. Unregulated and not controlled environment, traffic ranging from cars to trucks to motorbikes to bikes to pedestrians to playing children. Less room for sensors in the car, changing road condiitions, animals, you name it. Not a simple problem to solve.

And with a near perfect track record of similar systems in the aerospace sector the bar for acceptance hangs pretty high. Add to that the fact that pilots are trained in the use of these systems while the average joe / jane in a car is not. And the car should be able to drive without driver in the end.
As I understand it, the way is: run an IPFS node (perhaps on a cheap VPS); use `ipfs pin ` to force the node to retain the file even if it isn't being requested.

Presumably someone could sell "pinning as a service" for fairly cheap: a popular file will be widely cached, so the service will rarely need to provide it; and an unpopular file will be rarely requested.

Couldn't you just use the code to do the rest yourself and launch it on your own - write him out of the picture if nothing was solidified legally?
... and for those wondering why: it's so inefficient to produce hydrogen with electricity that, even if you have to pay a carbon tax, it's currently almost always produced using natural gas.

That's why it's stuck in the demonstration phase, essentially.
> your throne as the cool place to go

For a brief time in the late 1970s, wearing a swastica and defecating in public was cool. That was punk rock. A decade later, kids wore bell-bottoms and the zeitgeist was "peace love unity and respect."

The criteria for the "cool place to go" can change on a dime.

Netflix blocks PIA, a VPN, from accessing its servers. Rights holders’ unchecked power is the problem. Abstracting their power through net neutrality terminology distracts from their damage and promotes their cause.

If you want a shortcut to the solution, it includes “how could I make Netflix indfifferent as to how I access their content?”
Great summary.

Only reason I’m in a half technical role instead of still in SW dev track is my company and the industry in my location does not generally have good career paths while staying an IC, so for sake of my family I’m doing this for the doubled pay check to put us into financial independence.

But I’d much rather be coding.

The article states:

>"Google has its Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), with one core per chip and software-controlled memory instead of caches"

Is have heard of software-controlled caches before but I am imagining this is not the same thing? Could someone say? Might anyone have any decent resources on software-controlled memory architectures?
That isn't true. Unencrypted sites show up as "Not Secure" which is different from how encrypted sites show up.
Well, if you need to share private information to eg Facebook's cloud infrastructure just to gain their AI intelligence then you've given up your information and arguably privacy.

By providing more On-device intelligence Apple believes you may prevent or reduce that initial egress of data outside your hardware where it's stored encrypted.

And what is gained by doing it this way versus shifting the hour hand?

Clocks update themselves. Store hour signs, bus tables, stickers in windows, business cards, Outlook calendars, etc. They do not.

I don't like changing clocks twice a year; sticking with one time-zone offset is better. But having the entire population shift their working, banking, classroom, and service hours ad hoc is strictly worse than a universal hour shift. Instead of "Open M-F, 9a-5p", you suggest that "Open M-F, 9a-5p, Winter, 10a-6p Summer" is more elegant? Because that's what all vinyl stickers on glass doors would look like.

And it's still centralized and regulated, just like DST is now. So what have we gained?
Workspaces at restaurants and coffeeshops?
Does this idea make sense, pls share your thoughts.

digital nomads, freelancers, remote pros. are growing fast and they need more decent workspaces.

restaurants & coffeeshops are facing challenges due to more options and home delivery.

my idea of gigdesk.co is to provide workspaces pnhourly basis at popular restaurants and coffeeshops, without disrupting their current business. this helps restaurants to gain additional revenues, offer F&B at discount and enhance brand. For remote pros. they get lot more options to work on the go.

please share your thoughts as i am building the idea. the webpage is live, www.gigdesk.co and we are working on mobile app.

your inputs would help us to make it better and right!

Apple is better overall for app quality because they do actually check apps have a purpose and aren't pretending to be something else. I have watched colleagues get apps approved and it is probably automated to a degree then definitely reviewed by a human if anything suspicious comes up. They were using the camera with explicit permission from the user, but the user couldn't see the camera feed, so Apple asked that an indicator be added whenever it was actively in use.

Some things may slip through the cracks, but the Google Play store allows almost anything to be published with little to no checks at all.

Vancouver has Microsoft, Amazon and EA as the biggest companies. If you're into film (say visual effects) there are lot's of companies as well. Most of companies in Vancouver value work/life balance (we have beautiful mountains) over crazy hours. Lot's of people move from east side (say Toronto) to Vancouver because of that.

A senior software engineer would be making anywhere from 100-150k, I don't see that as that bad for having a good quality of life in Vancouver.

You can't buy a house in a good place, but even in SF with big salaries you can't as well. And you get to live in Canada :)

If you're optimizing for money then yeah, work for an American company from Canada. Exchange rate will make your life even better and you get a better social environment.

I wouldn't change my job in Vancouver for a job paying more in SF (or anywhere in the USA). I moved from London to here and the disposable income / quality of life is a lot better in Vancouver IMO.

i am an angel investor and have seen very good ideas and successful startups fail due to founders. Two of my funded startups have shut due to differences among founders. This happened due to lack of trust, mutual respect and synergy. When founders start thinking about individual contributions, one upmanship and dominant roles, the startup is bound to fail.

Unfortunately, he had solidified parts of it legally, but not the parts that benefited me.

And honestly, even if that wasn’t the case and I could somehow argue that he didn’t own any of the intellectual property for any of the stuff he helped design (which I seriously doubt I could do), we are talking about code that is ten years old by now.

I could always re-design the basic idea and re-code it from scratch, but that is both time consuming and risky (since it would be difficult to completely separate all of the ideas that he might have owned from the ones I had).

I’m currently making good money as a full time salaried employee at a company that I enjoy working at. I’m afraid that the cut-throat, high stakes appeal of a startup is somewhat lost on me at this point.

> And now Google is removing useful features that I use regularly

The article makes pretty compelling points that almost no one finds EV certs useful. Maybe you do. Maybe you think you do. I dunno. But, regardless, unless the article is wrong, you are in a tiny minority. Removing special handling of EV certificates reduces pressure on people to buy these certs based on false promises being made about them being generally useful - and that's a good thing.

> The handling of the removal of the Symantec root was handled poorly in terms of helping site operators know they could get a replacement certificate from DigiCert.

The problem with Symantec having horrific security was that Google handled it wrong? This was Symantec's issue. I also don't like that when I google "Do I have to pay my parking tickets" the answer is yes - but that isn't Google's fault either.
On GPUs you can program the L1 cache at least. I’ve never had much success with it though, as in more recent architectures I found the default L1 and the schedulers are doing a good job at keeping occupancy high and by wiring it you either don’t win anything or it often even gets slower - and there’s no way to know in advance since scheduler and cache architecture are largely a trade secret. In general, GPUs sre optimized to use their high memory bandwidth through an extreme amount of hyperthreading, and the number of possible threads goes down with the ressources your kernel occupies.
Beautiful and clean. I love how straight-forward your pitch is as well. Nice work, guys!
I partnered with a much larger company to profit from an existing sales structure and their technical infrastucture. To me it seems like -- due to their size -- they wanted to cut a larger piece of the cake for themselves, so negotiations about the details didn't really come to an end. They started to create and sell the product on their own with lots of stolen concept details. I am glad they failed.
My lesson is to bootstrap and implement fast. Don't worry if sales are not exploding. However, check if sales are pointing upwards and finance is under control.

ZeroNet has moderation in that site owners can remove posts. Users can self moderate via mute/block.

Freenet's FMS allows moderation using a web of trust. You provide trust to users pseudo-anonymous identities. And you can choose to trust who they trust. Trust scores are computed and any identity below a level will not be seen by your identity.

Freenet's Sone has similar functionality using a web of trust plugin (FMS has its own trust implementation) that can be used by other plugins.
The population of the U.S. is over 300 mil. How many people die or get sick every year because of our drinking water? It's got to be very small if any, otherwise, we would hear about it constantly until it was fixed.

Just by you asking the question, highlights how well sales and marketing have worked when it comes to bottled water.
