I am going to have to agree with you and say that I too feel that it would be irresponsible for the study to conclude that there is "no" risk. I unsuccessfully tried to find out the side effects the clients experienced during this particular trial, but other patients who receive vagus nerve implants for conditions such as epilepsy or depression, they experienced many side effects such as coughing, breathing problems and difficulty swallowing. To me it seems that those three side effects alone could put a person in a coma at risk of aspiration and thus lung infection.

Ya I agree, but on the other hand, it's possible that if you had been there instead of someone else, you would have made better choices leading to 10x traction and made Instagram 10x what it is today

I mean, what signals lead you to believe one scenario is more likely than the other?

It didn't sound like he was a weak employee in any way--if anything, he sounded like a strong employee because the founder of Instagram wanted to create a full-time role just to keep him, despite not having much money for the startup back then. I would assume the founder of Instagram is a better judge than I am, of who is good to hire.

It's possible that Instagram would have been more successful if he was there to support it back then.
> Why can’t we or won’t we save ourselves?

Because we only care about the short term. The very short term.

It's a great paradox that many philosophies tell us to only care about the present moment ("seize the day!") when in fact many if not all of our problems come from that exact behavior.

What we want, we want it now, and if a price will have to be paid in the future, whatever the actual amount, we regard it as zero. But we're wrong.
Yeah cause our companies love to let third parties “analyze” our code.

They're available on iTunes, FWIW. I'm especially fond of the Riven soundtrack; it's got a great meditative mood to it.

I came to a Samsung office in Suwong with a MacBook. Wasn’t forced to install anything, but, in order to use their network and 3rd party exchange site, I did have to install that tool on my Win VM. Should have just made a snapshot of VM image before doing that, and then it’d be easy to roll back.

I was more shocked by airport-style scanning security at the entrance and exit, forcing everyone to seal usb drives and phone cameras.
> Coincidentally Google has started working with regimes similar to NK; The PRC. Is that not evil?

No, it's not, because evil is a negative ideal, but I don't think it actually exists in reality.

Even Hitler wasn't evil, he was insane, and the whole situation is a case study of what happens when people, regular people, are given an easy explanation for all their problems. Placing something in the category of "evil" is placing it apart from behavior that you expect normal people to be capable of, since I think most people thing the majority aren't evil. All that does is help us feel better at the expense of helping us be better.

Evil is for fairy tales, where things are black and white. Normal people rightly get defensive when called such, because the road to hell actually is paved with good intentions. Hyperbole isn't a useful way to communicate.

Sorry to go full Godwins on this, but if you can't pull out Hitler and Nazi's when talking about evil (even to counter the point), then when can you...
I mean, I’m sure there’s a small amount of real photos on IG but I don’t know why you’d post them there. All of the hashslag is about getting discovered. It’s like competitive spamming.

If you find IG wholesome you’ve been living under a rock. I find almost everything about IG offensive these days and it’s only going to get worse.
How do you find interesting episodes? That sounds like a lot more work than finding interesting podcasts.

Better health insurance and lunch are signs that the company cares more about employees. This is a big signal in my book
This approach does not "demonstrate a straightforward path to achieving the same level of memory safety in C++ as Rust". One reason is that the approach is tightly constrained to analyze Owners which own a single type of objects, all of which are treated uniformly. So, for example, a class which owns two different kinds of data simply can't be analyzed usefully by this approach. More details here: https://robert.ocallahan.org/2018/09/more-realistic-goals-fo...

The new lifetimes proposal has explicitly revised its goal from "safe C++ subset" to "catch some common errors". That's good, because it's far more realistic and still very useful, but it's going to be problematic if people think that these guidelines imply the existence of a statically checkable, useful safe C++ subset.
There's more to it than rationalization.

The title made me think tidelift is an alternative to plex or kodi...
I haven't heard of them will look into it.
The title might look like a clickbait, but the article is interesting and well written. :)
Every decent podcast player lets you stream as easy as downloading. Why I don't use the streaming is that when I go through a tunnel on the train I don't want the stream to stop. Same on a plane or underground.
> The hardest part of figuring out why a particular path is violating timing is not because of the reporting of the tools, it's because a blob of logic has been flattened and merged into a LUT, and it's hard to identify how a LUT corresponds to the RTL.

... and we have no realistic hope of figuring out whether maybe the tools can be improved to help with that, because the tools aren't open :)

> if your goal is to make FPGA design more ergonomic (whatever that means), there's a much higher !/$ in improving the front-end design process than the back-end.

And my point was that it's impossible to do Pareto improvements as long as the back-end is a black box. Like, you could come up with a better high-level language for the "front-end", sure. And that new language may be more convenient for writing a design.

But if the way you synthesize this new language is via Verilog, then those nice features you mentioned, like for showing the critical path, will de facto be lost -- because the closed tools will show you the critical path in the intermediate Verilog. And if you've ever actually worked with HLS tools, you'll know that this intermediate Verilog is totally opaque unless you spend a very large time understanding the translation tool.

The new "front-end" solution will be better in some respects, but certainly worse in others, and the only way to get improvements across the board is if you have control over the whole "stack".

So I think you're making some good points, but I feel like you're missing the larger point that a truly open ecosystem is desirable precisely because improvement may come in places and from places that you would never have considered.
The sheer amount of open source code that pretty much any software out there runs on is absolutely astonishing. Especially when you start taking into account transitive dependencies. Say I'm running Java... Someone had to compile the JVM and it was probably done on an open source compiler.

Crazy to think of how many thousands of man hours have gone into something as simple as allowing me to argue with someone over the internet.
The download-orientation is exactly what makes it popular for anyone without unlimited mobile data.

That said, I don’t know of any current podcast app that doesn’t handle streaming if that’s what you want.
Is it solved or no? Do you have javascript disabled by any chance?
What is the 'web 3.0' Opera speak of? Is this a buzzword too far? I think I get the idea - semantic web where the web knows loads of stuff about you thanks to your browser, however, if I was in a client meeting and spoke of 'web 3.0' I would expect people to think I had gone mad, taken too many drugs, arrived pissed and generally jumped the shark. It is not a helpful buzzword and it surprises me that marketing for Opera use such a vague buzzword.

Regarding the crypto wallet that is built in, who honestly believes in the crypto future these days? The fad is over and nobody is interested in the fake bitcoins. Bitcoin dominance is on the rise and the other 'coins' only persist due to people 'HODLing', i.e. holding on to the 'coins' they have out of the hope that one day some greater fool will come along and be interested in what they have 'invested in'.

Alt coins and their apparent value reminds me of those holiday homes people built but did not complete in Spain, Ireland and elsewhere prior to the 2008 crash. If you go to Spain you can still see these properties and notionally these useless buildings have got 'value'. Eventually someone will come along and find use for the properties, even if it is to use them for keeping cattle in. The owners are not selling as they have negative equity. That residual value does fluctuate with movements in the currency markets much as the values in fake bitcoins does move up and down. But there is no income, the capital is not employed to generate a profit and the assets are worthless yet worth something at the same time.

On this analogy it is like Opera think the good old days of 2008 will come back. Or in alt-coins, the good old days of December 2017.

The 'good old days' of crypto are not coming back. There are no greater fools foolish enough to want to buy in. The 'dApps' never arrived, much like the tourists that never arrived in the pre-2008 speculator Potemkin villages of Spain, Ireland etc. Mainstream people just do not want to have anything to do with it, crypto is just not cool. Opera must be very desperate to want to tie their fortunes to 'crypto wallets'.

Ig's content, imo is still way better than Snapchat or whisper or even Facebook. The annoying thing is that ads are extremely obtrusive (this is a new thing). At least on FB the don't occlude your ability to enjoy other content.
I think of it a bit like how physics start with that frictionless vacuum, or skip relativistic stuff for later.
Apparently it used to be considered something you would try and hide, back in the days of the cultural cringe[0], whereas now it can be seen as a bit of a badge of honour. My wife's family descends from a convict bloke whose free wife came out too and got her husband assigned to her. Convicts were assigned as essentially unpaid labour (other than food and a rough bed) to land owners at the time. Given that many were very petty criminals back in Britain (e.g. stealing a loaf of bread) some interpret the arrangement as not much better than slavery, as a means to provide free labour to grow the fledgling colony. Some of the tales of the worst penal institutions (think Tasmania) are truly horrifying. But many convict labourers were granted their freedom over time too. It also had an interesting effect on the labour market, with free settlers finding it hard to get decent pay as farm labour etc. One of the great statesmen, Henry Parkes, was in exactly that position when he first arrived in Aus as a poor settler, and got involved in the protest which eventually turned back the last convict ship ever to anchor in Sydney Harbour. He went on to be elected multiple times as premier of NSW, achieving lots of progress in the state (trained nursing, universal education etc.) before getting the heads of all the colonial states around the table to drive the process of joining to become the nation of Australia. If only we had statesmen / women of that calibre today ... but sadly not.

Reading stuff like these always makes me so sad about Chinese people. Guys just like me, who like fiddling with computers and just want to be happy have to live in this totalitarian nightmare. I know it sounds silly to care about this stuff when probably there are much worse things happening in China, executions and stuff. But from my ignorant POV, tech is the one thing I can relate to.

At the same time it makes me feel lonely. I would love to be able to help them in some way, but I can't.

> That's free by any definition.

To be pedantic, we're talking about the HTML version which was purported to be free.

> You've dressed it up as "giving some feedback" but in the first sentence you're straight up accusing him of deception, which is not good faith, constructive comment

You're free to disagree with me. The first sentence is not very constructive in and of itself, no. There are a few other sentences where I give a few reasons as to why I didn't take the bait. In summary, when I clicked through to the free HTML version, I hit a soft paywall asking me for many permissions, which caused me to leave the site. If I were building a marketing funnel, I'd like to know if people thought that way about it.
Unfortunately most comments are about problems with medical doctors and not about the subject of the article.

Can you share your personal experiences about how gut issues effect your mood and decisions. For instance, I observe that when I have gas in the digestive system the world is colored as a place of pending doom or catastrophy. The smallest problems turn into unsurmountable imaginary disasters. I believe the microbes (or parasites) in the gut color the world this way. When the stomach is happily filled and satisfied the world looks like a nice place.

For food addiction, like craving sugar, I observe that I could never keep promises to myself not to eat chocolate. I was guessing that the microbes or parasites in the gut had direct access to the nervous system and they could always override the decisions of the mind. Now I know that there is such a mechanism as explained in the article.

I think the gut is what we used to call the sixth sense because the mind can only perceive senses one at a time but it seems that the gut can synthesize all sensory input and make a better decision. Also the gut knows more than the mind. But how do microbes in the microbiome who have brief lifetimes make such decisions I dont know. So what are your observations about your sixth sense?
Plenty of those American companies hire remote developers. I spent several years working for them here in France and the UK, for market compensation as measured at the Bay Area companies being discussed here.

Some places will try to pay you less based on your location. You can't blame them for trying, but you don't have to accept their first offer, either. The market is really good now.
Perhaps a reliable CCTLD for the alternative, so it's not under the US government.

I noticed Amazon use a UK domain for one of the four Route 53 nameservers they specify.
I don’t understand the relevancy of this game demo you linked.
My same concern about the ethics of this. I might have felt a little differently if this AI startup had paid for all of the data collection proactively (although I would have still had concerns about the exclusivity of any such agreements to patient access), but as it is this seems unethical.

The biomedical-industrial complex in the US makes my stomach churn. So many conflicts of interest, rent-seeking, monopolies, and nepotism.
I am talking strictly about Android Studio and not the end results i.e. the apps.

Giant? It's smaller than Xcode you know :)

Bloated? Yes, so bloated! As an Android developer this is my biggest complaint from the ecosystem after the fragmentation though Google is trying to fix that with Treble but they are just not enough for the Studio. It was amazingly frustrating and pathetic to work with it couple of years back and it still is.

My entire team is stuck on old Android Studio versions. I was the only one trying to live on the edge (and by that I mean stable channel) but for past few months I have just stopped upgrading Studio. It never fails to break the entire damn setup upon any upgrade. Like any release!

I agree, the slides and speaker views should have been flipped.
I don’t even know why I’m still arguing with you but there’s a huge difference between something being assembled in China for a US company and a browser company with its jurisdiction in China. One can be compelled to aid the government the other not so much. You’re comparing two entirely different things here. It’s far easier to manipulate some lines of code than to modify the hardware of thousands of devices.

And I do take offense at being called xenophobic and won’t further participate in this ‘discussion’.
Perhaps "ASCAP for Open Source" might be a closer analogy?

This is a great perspective for reconciling the "not their fault" idea (which science seems to support overall) with practical measures in daily life. Excellent.

Yeah, let's pretend there's no point in opposing an authoritarian surveillance state and simultaneously express dismay that this invasive software is poorly designed. This is the precise attitude that results in software engineers who have received no training in ethics producing a well-architected platforms that ignores user privacy and exposes people to state-sanctioned violence.

Who defines what non-sense is? The dev? Tidelift? You?
Curiously enough, “Lingua Franca” doesn’t refer to French.
Ditto here. And some of the worst offenders are retailers! You're trying to get someone to spend real money, and you think it's a good idea to make them screw around with 20 picture puzzles in a row before they're able to do that?!

I can only fathom these shops, both management and the webdevs, have no idea how unprofessional their site looks to anyone that isn't using a vanilla ISP connection. And my experience is coming from using a single longstanding VPS address, not even a shared VPN.

A sensible scheme would allow a certain rate of login attempts per any IP before hassling a user, but Google is obviously more interested in getting their training data than making sure you don't lose customers!
Oddly enough, it happened when I was using Chrome to download Firefox to replace Chrome.

Percentage cut? I think the better title would be Patreon for Open Source (which is also itself used for Open Source, e.g. Vue.js). Seems like a huge win for Tidelift.
You Could Have Invented Spectral Sequences (2006) [pdf]
It sounds like you need to clear up your subscription list.
The "Book Demo" button and "read white paper" button seem to be broken, which does not inspire much confidence. The first button just takes me to the bottom of the page while the second button does nothing.

Not sure if this is the same, but I once came across a website with a captcha where you had to rotate a dog so it stood upright, but it was lagging so bad that it would skip several frames, making it impossible to time the angle correctly. After several minutes of trying I gave up and went to a different website with an inferior service, but which did not waste my time.
Also bear in mind that gzip (or any non-toy compression algorithm) will do much better than either on any non-contrived input.

While this sounds like a great idea in theory, I think there’s a fuckton of traps to run into here.
I think the idea is the more companies that sign up the more money can be given to a particular project and over time allow those people to go full time on their project. But since it’s new with little to no customers they are relying on capital to pay some developers guaranteed 10k over 2 years. Over this 2 years this could catch on and pay a lot more than 10k.
