Does it get stuck or are you still seeing that blocks are being fetched? If it's still increasing, it's just very large. You can check the download rate by doing `ipfs stats bw --poll`.

Weird thing is, I'm not seeing anyone providing it but I can still pin it. Currently on `Fetched/Processed 1661 nodes` but I'll leave it running and see if it finishes.

But doing `ipfs dht findprovs zdj7WZpLoZYr4AoDUdpCNBVHLi1S8y6muFoCgwUa9kmxUpYCr` should list everyone who is providing it, but I'm getting no responses, which is weird.

Edit: Hm, got stuck at 2007 blocks, are you seeing the same thing?
I'm sure they have plenty of examples to go by, all they need to do is consult Yahoo, Google or any of the telecoms for good strategies.

I guess on the plus side at least we know now that it is happening despite the lies the Federal government told us. I worry that as bad as it is for whistle blowers in the US what chance does China have?
> It's a technically unsound mishmash of complaints, most probably deriving from the aforementioned behavior of the Google Search Mobile page, but imbued with the subtext that Google is exploiting publishers by providing a CDN. That's absurd. Maybe Google's exploiting publishers with its captive newsreader, but not by providing a CDN.

Sorry if I'm missing some vital sentence in your analysis, but I can't see where you explain what exactly is absurd about it? How is Google's AMP cache not stealing traffic from the origin site? This is exactly what they're doing from a technical perspective: this seems to me to be an unambiguous fact.

Or 82 billion, or trillion... yes, I would expect them to go out of business. Same if they made a mistake that killed someone, for example. As others have said, what if the client (or they kid!) had made the bet online and entered a few extra zeroes (and lost) - would they have accepted "I made a mistake" as an excuse and canceled the bet?

You should not encourage a business to have a "head we win, tails you lose" policy.
I can tell you some of that. We ported all our applications from QNX6.5 to QNX6.6 and then QNX7.0.

They deprecated some POSIX calls like posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen (at least in QNX6.6 documentation they mention it's not fully implemented and it is indeed broken).

They made the QNX7.0 kernel instrumented-only (there are no longer non-instrumented versions).

They changed lots of low level stuff that is outside the kernel, like throwing out photon and replacing it with screen library, completely replacing the PCI server, making changes to the console, security patches, and so on. But since it's a microkernel, this is mostly in userland.

So? Someone is still going to do the math, and if it comes up positive, it will happen.
The simple solution is a two-tiered system.

The submitter can check "This report is security sensitive or has confidential information that should not be shared further than necessary to fix the bug."

Most projects have this in the form of a default-public bug tracker, and private emails to the developer or security@ mailing list.

It's not difficult to have both private and public bugs where the submitter chooses which is appropriate.

What if there is a value proposition in paying to have a bot flirt with you now and again?

I'm reminded of the entire "robot boyfriend/girlfriend" genre of TV/Movies/Comics from Japan/Korea, plus the "dating simulator" genre of video games. These are more fantasy-fulfillment, though.

I honestly think it would be a net good for society to have simulators/bots that teach people how to have real, healthy relationships with other humans. (There are anecdoates about kids with autism who became more verbal once they started talking to Siri or the Google Assistant, for example.) But I feel like working on or using such tools would probably be as stigmatized as sex toys in the near/medium term.
Probably not. But if you own a Rolex Daytona, you would, just for peace of mind.
It certainly seems to fill a niche.

That said, I rather miss the minimalism and focus on individual developers (vs organisations and processes) of early Github.

I know that they did this in the United States. But one of the interesting things that is helpful for investigative journalism in Canada, the entire country is a one-party consent jurisdiction for recording of phone calls, and recording of conversations in person. investigative journalists in Canada have taken advantage of this fact for many years, and exposed a great deal of corruption.
maybe i should not have used the phrase "void"; in this case the contract includes a clause that says, "where a blatant or palpable error is made in... prices offered... bets may be settled at the correct price at the time at which the bet was placed". so more accurately, the incorrect price is voided

On one hand it's true and people will apply their preconceived interpretations, on the other hand if nobody talks about it these interpretations and biases will never change. People have these biases because they don't know anybody with autism/schizophrenia/depression personally, but once they know and realize that it's a human just like them, they could understand it better.

And I don't think you're correct. There are 5 menu items + log in + the API docs button on the main header. If you want all those to fit in a sub-standard width page, you're going to end up sacrificing readability in text. If you want to propose removing a menu item to make more space, that's an option, but just saying "I don't like the hamburger - they could fit the menu somehow" is not helpful.

Back in grad school our professor [Tom Holman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomlinson_Holman) did some amazing work in spatial sound, specifically for cinema. He chose to double the number of channels from 5.1 to 10.2 and the results were pretty amazing.

If my memory is working correctly, the channels chosen were Left, Left-Center, Center, Right-Center, Right, High-Left, High-Right, Left Surround, Right Surround, Back surround, and two low frequency channels. His research indicated that the human ear has better vertical localization towards the front (potentially having evolved to detect tree-dwelling predators, for example), and experiments with dummy head recording produced inadequate results for theatrical reproduction.

Sadly it doesn't seem to have caught on (yet), probably due to the expense of having to retrofit cinemas. Anyway, it was really cool to listen to. I imagine the use of ambisonic recording rigs will greatly benefit the 360° video playback experience. Don't know what the other use cases might be yet.
> he was forced into put out an edition of Bande de Français himself after no French publisher picked it up.

Too bad, but if he wasn't let down by all of them, they wouldn't be put into that difficult position.
i think the issue here is that in some states, there is an authority that needs to determine whether the price was an error, and that it cannot be at the sole discretion of the sportsbook?
I have found a good way of getting people to question chiropody more.

Explaining that I am not entirely sure that necromancy has a place in modern medicine, gets people to stop and ask me what I mean.

I then have their attention to point out that according to the founder of the practice, the methods of chiropody were discovered by summoning a spirit from beyond the grave who apparently claimed to be a doctor.

And therefore, either the founder is lying, or I am being expected to trust the motivations of some entity from the land of the dead that is capable of traveling between worlds and sees fit to present itself as a doctor, neither of which, on the face of it, looks like a good basis for trusting in a therapeutic technique.
You're free to believe that. I'd say there's no reason to.

How do you deal with ghosting?
For the first time ever, I'm starting to experience prospective employers and recruiters ghosting me.

My background: I'm a mid-level software engineer, graduated with a BS comp sci from an ivy-league school and trying to start a business on the side. I prefer startups

Previous times I've looked for a job this has never happened to me, but now all of a sudden it's happening a lot. Somewhere, abruptly mid-interview process, the employer or recruiter just flakes out, or slowly starts flaking out and then completely flakes out, and stops responding even when I try to follow up once or twice to check in

I'll get a coding exercise or project, maybe even a few interviews in, and then suddenly no responses like a ghost. I've been given initial code exercise/projects and then they flake out as if they never even looked at it. I've had prospective employers schedule a call, flake out on a call, reschedule, flake out on that one, reschedule, then disappear. Same with a recruiter that needs to follow up with a client that claims to have strong interested in me, flaking out on submitting my code project or scheduling next steps.

Job searching has always been really time consuming for me, but this is just adding a whole lot more to that. The flaking out takes up time slots for other prospects and sucks up time from the coding projects. Did they move on to other candidates? is something wrong with my email?

It's very confusing because if they aren't interested then why do they give me coding projects? if they've moved on why don't they say so?

Have you guys has similar experiences? if so, how do you guys deal with this sort of thing?

I'm thinking maybe adding interview reviews on their glassdoor company profiles would at least discourage the behavior. It's just odd because I've never had this happen before ever, and now it's happening a lot, and I don't know how to shield myself from this. And it's sucking up a lot of time
We as a species are at Day One of understanding a neuroscience of consciousness. Natural philosophers since the time of Ibn Rushd have vociferously argued that reason constitutes a legitimate avenue for unveiling religious truth. But as of right now, it has been impossible for us to conceive of empirical tests of any theories of divine origins. And it may be 10,000 years of trans-human innovation to acquire the necessary sub-perceptual "eye".

I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said before, yes. But I was replying to the GP's argument that "this shouldn't be the primary focus of a writing class." I think it should—as you said, it is the foundation of modern writing instruction ...at the vocational or university level.

But, it certainly isn't the foundation of writing instruction at the public-school "language arts" level. Instead, students are almost-universally taught horrible habits, required to hand in one-shot compositions and reports, never (as part of class) going through the iterative drafting and review process, never being taught to differentiate writing from editing, building in them instead a compulsion toward perfectionism—a "got to get it right the first time" mental paradigm, that I've found to be one of the main causes of procrastination on homework assignments. (I'm a tutor, sometimes; and I also hire content writers for $work.)

I would argue that it'd be easier to make a professional writer out of a person who had never gone through the public schooling system's idea of "writing education" at all. They have less to unlearn.

Promoters are well aware that they sell tickets for less than they could get but I think it's unlikely to change. There are essentially 2 ways to distribute things. A free market model where the highest bidder gets to buy. Or a price control model where only some people get to buy based on some arbitrary selection model, usually first come first serve. And everybody else is SOL. When people think (emotionally) of what is "fair" they typically think of the price control model, which is why we have rent control, price gouging laws, and people get pissed off at Uber surge pricing. So if promoters try a more market based strategy like the one you mention it will probably cause a backlash from fans for charging $500 for a ticket. Unlike the promoters, scalpers have no perceived connection to the artists, so they (or Ticketmaster) can take the public outrage in exchange for profits without risking future ticket sales.

Marvel's new Wolverine podcast/radio play is recorded in ambisonic sound [1] if anyone wants an easily accessible example.

Per the article:

The ambisonic mic necessitated a different method of recording the show. Instead of the standard “one-person, one-mic” studio approach that the actors recorded simultaneously, in the same room. The approach allowed for more interaction between actors, more like staging a play than recording an audiobook.

It's more of an open secret, like the way certain terms are obscured by EULAs. The information is there for anyone who wants to look into it, but most people don't care or don't have the incentive to investigate. The important thing is to have a buffer to make certain details less obvious to the majority of customers without appearing dishonest.
Chicken Caesar salad is wildly popular in the US, and it's probably far more popular than original-style Caesar salad.

I'd even go as far as to say that Caesar salad has become something like pizza, where the assumption is that of course you put toppings on it.
Crap, I thought the caesar always had chicken in it. You're right... For some reason, I keep going at places where they serve it with chicken (not fried, of course, that was just for the sake of the argument). I guess, I need to give a shot at the original recipe.

Thanks, one more thing to try.

Usually when there's a paradox like this, it means we've chosen bad axioms somewhere. Even things that seem intuitively self-evident can prove untrue.

For example, what if time does not necessarily flow in a single direction at the quantum scale; what if instead, the ground level of physical reality is a timeless information graph / equation that is 'solved by the universe'?

I'm no physicist and no nearly nothing about the real math of QM, but every time I read these lay-explanations of "quantum weirdness" and "wave function collapse", I get this strange feeling that we're thinking about time all wrong: What if unidirectional time is an illusion? What if causality (and inference) is an illusion (thus explaining how hard it is to capture it mathematically)?

I hope it happens, but there's been more than one startup out to take on the ticket resales issue that ends up drowning in their own obscurity. Some Stanford 20-something who's been robbed on a markup or some exorbitant fee inevitably shouts "BLOCKCHAIN!" in the same sentence as "ticketing" and nothing comes of it.
Do you think that focus is gone?

I find both Gitlab and Github have plenty of focus on the dev (Github more so). It just so happens that Github has developed a lot of tooling for orgs and projects since.

Compare to Bitbucket's profile pages for example: https://bitbucket.org/astanin/
That's another good point, the reason the bank employs people to pore over every detail is because they're liable to make sure it works right. If I say "send $1000 to account X" and the $1000 vanishes, that's their fault.

But if something goes wrong in cryptocurrency, whoops, guess I should have just known better.
From the user perspective, being an early adopter of something that isn't really worth anything now can have external value of increasing the likelihood that you can drive the product direction towards something that will be very useful to you in the future (and without having to pay upfront costs of hiring a contractor and figuring out exactly what you want now). Especially if you're paying, people tend to listen to paying customers' feedback a lot more than web randos.
So? If artists want to control the experience perfectly, don't sell on an open market. There are ways to prevent the majority of resale (will call, purchasing credit card required at gate, etc).

If artists really care, they would do more than lip service (some do!). When they don't, the message is clear. They might care, but they care about money more, because let's be clear, brokers buying out a venue within a day that might take a few months to sell out is good for the artist, promoter and venue. They get to offload risk to a broker, for the cost of possibly some more money in the long run, and they get all their money up front and can do what they want with it for that time.
This was my first thought as well. The article quotes a councilmember as saying:

"Can we make sure that if you’re going down a sidewalk and you’re going bump bump bump because you hit everything on the sidewalk — that the scooter knows you’re on a sidewalk and really compels you get off the sidewalk," Ward said.

It would be interesting to apply this technology to cars, as well. Driving or parking in the bus lane or bike lane? "Really compel the driver to get out of that lane." Speeding in a school zone? "Really compel the driver to slow down." It would be nice if public transportation was faster (the point of bus lanes) and if kids could get to school without being mowed down by speeding cars. A much bigger problem than scooters, however annoying they may be on boardwalks.

We have played with such technology in NYC from time to time. One state Senator's vehicle has been caught going 36+ mph in a 25mph school zone 10 times and the same Senator is responsible for renewing the speed camera trials. Needless to say, he is opposed and the state Senate took no action:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/26/nyregion/marty-golden-sch...

This article ended up making the state Senate look so bad that the Governor apparently unilaterally extended the "trial" of the speed cameras, so maybe progress is being made. It still tends to be widely opposed by those in power (police officers are the other loudest anti-advocates); people do not like perfect enforcement of laws that they can't weasel their way out of with "do you know who I am!?" It's unfortunate.

I think the main point here from an analytics perspective is that, even if you don't choose to use Google Analytics or opt for any other service from Google, if you implement the (allegedly non-Google) AMP specification, Google gets to analyse your users while they browse your content, even after they've clicked away from the Google results page and are—for all intents and purposes—browsing a non-Google property. This is in contravention of both user and publisher expectations, and is non-optional for both parties.

AMP certainly has benevolent side effects for the user. Google is obviously adding tremendous value to what they offer.

It was a genius move by Google to come up with AMP.

How can you solve the problem of an ad-infested web if you make most of your money with Ads? You can't simply block your competition within the dominant browser, that would bring anti-trust action on the scene.

AMP is the answer. You create something that makes publishers give up their freedom willingly.

Then Google realized that even AMP is too dangerous in the current culture of techlash. So they came up with this idea of creating an open governance model. The public is basically forcing them to do this step, which is a good first step.
