Massive change for kids, aging parents nearby and friends... not to mention one of us will have to find work wherever the other one goes.

It's a big change if you've put down roots.
> the last couple of generations have been badly overpriced.

Which ties back into the earlier comment on this thread that after Jobs died, the company has gradually devolved into a 'premium cost for not quite as premium hardware' tech company. Previously MacBooks were well priced for what you got (Australian here also), nowadays they are more expensive that equivalent laptops which have more connectivity, touch screen etc.
If you're using an 5S still, it's time to update that battery. By now it's what, 5 years old?
Internal representation doesn't matter to me as much as the external view, so I guess I'm actually looking for your planned extensible API - I'll be eagerly awaiting that.

With more and more annotation services, there may come a need for an "annotation manager". Memex could be the manager for Hypothes.is as you suggest, but a separate manager could also use Memex and Hypothes.is as backends. So, for example, the annotation act is done with Memex, but the research stage is done with a separate tool.

Cool product/vision! I like your guys' stance on the user's data and with an API might settle on this one. :)
The SEC is alleging he broke rule 10b-5, which says that the defrauding actions must be "in connection with the purchase or sale of any security".

The SEC complaint doesn't seem to allege negligence at all, in the claim for relief it says 'Defendant, with scienter' which definitely does not imply negligence.

The complaint alleges that the statements were made in connection with the sale of securities but I don't really understand where that comes from.
Don't keep it open all the time?
Exactly. So if he wants to claim the CEO slot he can.
If you got the rfc changed today, I suspect you wouldn't be able to reliably use it for about 20 years. 5 years for everybody to pick it up in new software, 5 years for new hardware to not be shipped with the old software, and 10 years for all the old software and hardware to die out.

And all for what? So you can cname example.org instead of www.example.org? Doesn't seem worth it. Also, consider that in 20 years, we're likely to consider IPv6 only servers, and a host can more easily offer you a IPv6 ip that they can commit to serving your traffic for a long time on. It's a lot harder to be flexible with IPv4 addresses.

For the last ten years+ I've done all my domain-stuff through Dynadot, and all that time I have been mystified that these guys aren't far better known than they appear to be. Prices are decent, comprehensible, and stable. UX is okay. Not spectacular, but absolute useable. Great flexibility with whois records. I have needed support once in those ten years, and that was my own bloody fault for having forgotten which birthday I signed up with. Even so, help was prompt, polite, and efficient.

Looked in at the competition from time to time - NameCheap, GoDaddy, whoever - just to see what I might be missing out on. The experience was always sobering and ugly to look at, and every time, I ended up dragging my new domain over to Dynadot.
You don't need to depend on Visa doing their (useless) fraud investigations anymore.

I can't say if their fraud investigation is useless or not.

In those (rare) cases were my card was charged fraudulently charges were reversed immediately and (except when they issued a new card) I never heard back.

From my perspective their fraud investigation is very effective.
>Yes, it's a factor of the new changes, but let's not forget it's primarily a factor of Apple using batteries that lose a significant percentage of their capacity after 2 years in the iPhones, and then hiding much of that by slowing your iPhone down.

Maybe they bought it from someone violating the terms of setting up a Facebook app? I can't stress that this shit's illegal but I also can't stress how the Cambridge Analytica scandal showed that Facebook had almost no way of regulating this.

The people on the outside aren't really relevant to the value and market price of Bitcoin. The price is a reflection of the activity of the market participants economic equilibrium. Non-participants can gawk at the price, but so long as there are enough participants using the system, trading and creating wealth then the system will continue to grow, and attract more participants one would assume (although this is not necessary). Eg, your opinion of a foreign currency and their monetary policy makes little difference to them and the forex price until you participate in their economy.
That's horrifying. At least wikipedia says it can be fixed in many cases by a surgery that replaces the missing turbinate parts with artificial structures that serve the same function.

You're right, but vanillin (C8H8O3) is very dominant (even in natural vanilla) and, as natural vanilla is cooked, a lot of the other compounds tend to be destroyed.
I suggest you re-read the headline. Elon is fantastic in some ways and terrible in others. He really needs to - quickly - get some self control or it will end badly. What do you think are the chances of Gwynne Shotwell tweeting SpaceX into the gutter or wrecking its reputation by getting into a tiff with a guy trying to rescue a bunch of kids?
This feels a bit like a strawman. I've interviewed with FAANG companies and I run interviews and I don't see these puzzle questions. I see people looking for basics and looking into problem solving and hints that candidates have done good work before. Granted, I've seen that urge to ask puzzle questions in some quarters, but I've regularly seen that ignored. Maybe though I've been blessed..

Because it allows you to save money without it losing value in the long term.

That has yet to be seen. Except for true believers I yet have to find a serious economist who suggests crypto currencies as a store of value due to its volatility.
Don't think that's the case -- did you listen to the latest earnings call? They're forecasting a cashflow positive Q3 with 15% gross margin on the Model 3s, and have sustained 5,000 M3 and 2,000 S&X per week for several weeks now. They even closed the reservation system and are taking orders for 2 months out.
In particular, how does it compare in compile time, binary size, and total build size if those values for Rust are "slow", "large", and "enormous"?

If you want to manipulate a market that big you’d better have very deep pockets or be willing to take a very large loss. It’s easy to drive up the price of something, buy lots of it. It’s easy to drop the price of something, sell down your stockpile. The only way to make money by buying lots of something and then selling loads of it later is by successfully predicting that future demand will be higher than current demand.
Worth noting this important caveat mentioned in the article:

> "The tool described above is able to update the system’s firmware only if the SPI flash memory protections are vulnerable or misconfigured. Thus, you should make sure that you are using the latest available UEFI/BIOS available for your motherboard. Also, as the exploited vulnerability affects only older chipsets, make sure that critical systems have modern chipsets with the Platform Controller Hub (introduced with Intel Series 5 chipsets in 2008)."

Except for the fact that cash is issued by the "evil" government your points provide zero reasons why I should prefer crypto "currencies" over cash.

And that's a purely ideological stance.
well, obviously "worse is better". historically, SQL has been "Good enough" and was sponsored by IBM/Oracle that nobody has bothered to try and implement the relational model correctly, except for perhaps postgres (which used to have its own query language before bolting SQL onto its core engine)

what I hope people get out of my comments is not about selecting the right system for today- A better thing does not necessarily exist yet-- But at least understand the relational model well enough to see what its utility is. Functional programming and Logic programming are coming back in fashion, and maybe someone here will build the better thing.

I don't think "nosql" databases or graph databases are necessarily the better thing. (but they might be for certain usecases). Though I think relational db systems could learn something about developer ergonomics from them. Interfacing with a DB using a fortran inspired query language is archaic. Constructing the queries using string concatenation has been a security nightmare. You could build something waaayyy better off of prolog or mercury, full programming languages with the inductive logic engine at the core of their paradigm, with a database system integrated in, and expose a graphql api for your isomorphic react web app cos that's how we do in 2018.

Even microsoft's linq is a massive improvement over using SQL. Language integration, strong typing. These are things we like, right?

This is a pretty fascinating article even though it is frustratingly superficial. It seems like there are a bunch of different threads here that would benefit from exploration; the behavioral economics thread; the anthropology thread, the climate change thread ( notice how weather has changed the price repeatedly in the article ), and the producer/consumer disjunction thread. Maybe the author should do some more fieldwork and turn it into a book.

The Malagasy vanilla farmers behavior in the face of a windfall is not that different from many Americans actions in similar circumstances from what I've seen. People with a sudden access of money will often splurge on bizarre displays of wealth, sports cars and motorcycles, fancy clothing they rarely wear; etc. Often not because they have a long-held desire for the toys they are buying but because they have a cultural template of what wealth and success should look like that they are trying to act out.
Pirating trucks with humans in them is not much more difficult. Humans also tend to stop when you put obstacles in front of them and I doubt they would defend their cargo if a gun is waved in front of them. The reason that highway robbery is not common today is not because it's difficult to do.
The standard official Facebook response to this is that you do not own your "shadow profile" since it's a profile made out of data gathered from other people and companies, and thus they can not let you control it. In other words "it is not your data".

I doubt that holds in court, but as mentioned in the article, there are people in the EU who for months have tried to get Facebook to provide the shadow profile data on GDPR grounds, and Facebook has yet to allow it.

It seems like Facebook can afford to stall, they've got more knowledge and power than a single EU citizen can have, so I'm sure they know what they're doing.

----

To be honest, I think Facebook is in breach of _multiple_ GDPR articles _simultaneously_ here, which is quite a feat in itself.

They're in breach of:

- Privacy by Design (a.k.a. Privacy by Default)

- Right to Access

- Right to Be Forgotten (which is older than GDPR..?)

- Data Portability

Then again, Facebook is not alone. I'm pretty sure there are very, very few companies on the web that are not in breach of GDPR at least in spirit, if not in letter.
Not sure if it will give you useful ideas, but we've seen a clear trend from our customers in increasing requests regarding high density colocation and hosting for AI, deep learning and blockchain/crypto mining hardware (e.g. Nvidia Tesla, ASIC miners like Antminer S9, GPU-based computation).

I've used Lisp extensively and I've used closures extensively. In Python you can simply define the function on the line above where you plan to use it. I really don't see the need. Lisp needs lambda because you can't just randomly introduce new variables everywhere (you have to use flet, which actually is a lambda).
Alas, on the path to greater things achieved, quarrels of mankind see no relief; to build a house of time and stone, requires an ounce of flesh and bone.
There is similar premise in James Rickards 2014 book The Death of Money. He describes trade dynamics and international organizations, including the Bank for International Settlements and their unit/basket of reserve currencies called Special Drawing Rights. Several years ago China was on about having the Yuan declared a reserve currency so it would be included as one of the currencies which comprise an SDR unit.
Exactly. Google is saying they "need the cloud" to make the prediction/action. They also require as grist for their mill: my data.

I would much prefer some basic heuristics executed on-device using my data in a secured processing state. The hueristic-building could be in the cloud, but on datasets other than mine, and let me tweak those dials!

Hell, I'd even pay for this feature.

And? There's no outbound traffic, so it can't do anything with it. The only risk is if it caches everything indefinitely and if I happen to connect to another network. I should have added that anything that _needs_ Internet access gets vetted much more closely.

I was also thinking more of home automation like devices, where it does _almost_ eliminate the risk. It can't access my main network, so it can't see any of my traffic, it can't phone home, and I don't have to worry about security vulnerabilities (it's not exposed to the Internet, so you'd probably have to compromise my main device first-at which point I have bigger problems and even if it was compromised it can't initiate any outward connections, blocking, e.g., its use in a botnet).

Hi I'm one of the people that worked on the webdesign, back-end and hardware. You are right about the caching, one of our strategies is actually to cache very aggressively. Not only for images but even for all HTML aside from the front page and about pages. This works for us since low-tech magazine only publishes a maximum of one article a month and the site spans a decade of content which won't change anymore.

However, since we were still working on the site at the time it got massively popular, we changed the caching settings in order for people to see the changes and fixes that we were pushing.

I'll look into those server headers as well!

I bought a bottle of synthetic and a bottle of organic real vanilla extract recently, and did a taste/smell test.

The synthetic smelled and tasted like vanilla-flavored motor oil and rubbing alcohol. It was terrible, and cheap, and plentiful. I can't imagine what I could use it in to mask that chemical flavor. Ugh.
You do realise you can define a function inside another function in python, right?

Then it definitely sounds like regulation is required, the vast majority of Facebook's users don't know how to do all that. The public should not have to protect themselves from unethical companies, the companies should have to stop with their unethical behavior lest the government shuts them down.

Drawn to its logical extreme, you don't need regulation to be protected from racketeering if you run a restaurant either, you can just hire private security and arm yourself.
sometime i felt like the whole Noble things also became a joke, just like politics. People think blue LED that invented in 1990 didn't get fair treatment until 2014, but not too many people know the infrared LED was first invented in 1962, but the inventor Nick Holonyak still didn't get any fair treatment even till now.
Come on. You've defined a function inside another function. It's very clear that you've done it so you can pass it to some higher level function. If someone comes along and starts using your inner function willy nilly in the outer function without anyone noticing then you've got much bigger problems that multiline lambdas are not going to help you with.
VMs are entirely opaque to the host operating system. I'm not sure what the parallel is (though I assume you were being tongue-in-cheek).
The backstory of Fiber optics Between 1950-1970 is fascinating and worth a read for anyone into seeing what innovation decades ahead of use looks like.

Mr. Kao contributed some amazing advances in a field kickstarted by perhaps even madder scientists before him.

The story of the foundational work in Fiber Optics by the group a decade earlier (Bram Van Heel, Harold Hopkins, Narinder Singh Kapany, etc) is worth learning about at a time of reflection to appreciate Mr. Kao's contributions. Some are still alive today.

Science, and the Nobel folks are also revealing in how those who who laid a foundation for Fibre Optics almost a decade earlier don't seem as well known.

It reminds me of how our society has benefitted greatly because of less known individuals due to recognition (until recently) like Nikola Tesla.

It actually makes tons of sense to invest in non-cash goods to trade later when there's a bust. But no matter what form your profits are in, the big risk in Madagascar (besides the cyclones) seems to be the gangs. Drivers regularly get murdered driving across territories controlled by gangs. There's really not much law enforcement to speak of and the country is insanely poor, considering all this vanilla commerce.

The vanilla trade often takes advantage of the people living in vulnerable communities and doesn't pay a living wage. If we all want ethical access to quality vanilla, we need to start asking buyers to start sourcing certified fair trade (or better) vanilla, and to work to improve the fair trade system.
Oh god, no. No leading commas, anywhere. Not in javascript, not in SQL. It's like nails on a chalkboard.

Well maybe now cartels will need to launch their own satellites, and make their own hardware that computes the time it takes a signal to propagate. Wouldn't make it impossible to intercept, but would raise the costs more than calling up Google or the GPS provider and asking them to hand over the data.

And AirPods were fucking expensive and both are produced by Apple. What gives? How can they be so incompetent in making a wireless device connect to another wireless device?
Not having to argue about whether you want the shed to be blue or red really is super valuable.

> That implies a 40gb NIC

It may imply that but only outright requires 40Gb/s total, which is provided by the "4-port 10GBase-T Ethernet SIOM (Intel® X550 controller)" of a SuperServer 7089P-TR4T.

The EBS bandwidth can be elided entirely by using local storage instead. Local storage bandwidth can be much cheaper than ethernet, especially considering how many NVMe ports are already included.

As 10GE is maybe $200/port (including SFPs), at scale, network cost doesn't "move the needle" on a $400k server.
