There was a really good article awhile ago about gm potatoes that produced there own Pesticides.

The author grows some (there is a end user agreement that software people should be familiar with)

The trouble was figuring out who would regulate these new crops (in the US anyway). In the end McDonald’s wouldn’t buy them so I think that potatoe is gone. It’s a long read but it talks about how modern farming vs organic and a whole host of issues that are still relevant today .

How do you know there are only extreme benefits?

To your second question I need to ask something: after you moved past the coolness factor, what do you think would be the _drawbacks_?
I don't appear to have an edit option, I thought comments could be edited.

Thanks for removing MixPanel, I think centralised analytics are by default going to breach privacy as you only need a referer and an IP address to have enough data to put someone's privacy at risk.

Also, third party JavaScript (not protected by code review and SRI) is an access control issue and can violate privacy at anytime as shown by instances of credit card theft and cryptomining this year.

Simply Analytics lies about not being a GDPR concern (which requires consideration for access control and security (loading third party JavaScript) and under GDPR IP address can be considered an identifier.

You’re saying the same thing as the article. Did you misread? :)
I have my full-time job in Germany. I don't work freelancer as a full-time. This project doesn't take 40 hours week. I built the platform, and now I am maintaining it as a side project. However, I want to make it profitable.

> "Nebengewerbe or Einzelunternehmen",

Can I still do this while I have other full-time job ?. In Germany, they have the status of freelancer, and I am not on freelance VISA. I thought that it is only for freelancers.

P.S: feel free to suggest organizations/lawyers/consultants who can help with these matters.
Why? Both the Israeli Intelligence Heritage museum and the Vault 5 leaks specifically show hardware implants that are intended to be inserted into cables like display, HID and USB cables.

Building a network tap into a CAT5 cable isn’t that hard you just need to essentially modulate the traffic into RF and have another implant near by that can intercept the radio signals.

We live in a day where we have demonstratable side channels attacks against RSA keys by listening to how a laptop squeeks when it’s under load and you think building a chip into a cable is a stretch?

Heck I have one cable like that atm which is a converter from a model M keyboard to a USB you can’t see the converter IC it’s built into the RJ45 connector the keyboard originally used without any additional bulk.
The link to brave.com has been around for a while in various incarnations on Hackernews. Interestingly OP didn't trim the /index/ part of the URL so the main URL has another chance to be part of the frontpage.

I just read the book (Stewart) when I had to take it. After Calc 1-2 it was pretty easy in comparison. Can you just pick the few sections you need and do the practice problems? Most of the material in that class is stuff you did already, but for x,y,z instead of just x,y.
Wikipedia, contrary to popular belief, has immense bias on particular topics, depending on the editors involved in a particular article.
My intuition makes me agree that it does address the rubber-hose scenario. Could you elaborate on why you think it doesn’t?
Brave moved away from that to Muon[1], which (IIRC) was originally very close to Electron, but now[2] actually is just a minorly-patched version of upstream Chromium.

They've since moved from Muon to Chromium for the browser chrome[3].

Democrats Propose 'Internet Bill of Rights' to Entice Voters Sick of Facebooks
I can't say I really found use out of the book I'm about to mention, but Michael Bordt writes a lot of philosophy/self-help books in a concise German style. For example, "Die Kunst, die Eltern zu enttäuschen: Vom Mut zum selbstbestimmten Leben."
It's still important to float the info up, so the general public can see -- so we could vote with our feet (if we feel we need to).
Would that meaningfully reduce bloat?
From the pictures it appears to only have "half shredded" itself... There is a certain aesthetic to that as well... a full shred may have rendered it worthless. But a half shred...thats art...

I like the way you expressed this. It takes longer to say, but is less contentious than Norvig’s pithy quote “Design patterns are bug reports against your programming language.”

On android it is essentially identical to Chrome in every way apart from the Brave icon next to the address bar that controls the blocking.

I really like it.

I tried the desktop version though and did not like the look and feel of the UI - tabs under the address bar etc. Felt like it was a slavish copy of Safari and I did not like it. Much prefer Firefox on desktop.

I have also learnt of Brave's plans to replace a sites ads with its own ads which I do not like. Will move off of Brave on mobile when Firefox is workable on android (last time I tried it was awful, clunky and slow on android).
Brave claims to be 2-8 times faster than Chrome & Firefox on popular news sites. If Brave is based on Chromium, no ways it can be twice faster than Chrome. If it based on a new developed browser kit, it’s too fantastic to be true. It’s already a respectable performance if a new browser kit can come close to the unicorn browsers like Chrome & Firefox (Quantum). The whole thing is too fishy for my taste.
If at least 98% of your drive isn't partitioned out its going to cause some questions by a curious observer.

why do you need a tech-y lawyer? I'd look for a fiscal advisor, because this is mostly about getting your tax liabilities right. And they should know enough about forming companies.
It would be naive to think they’re not doing this already - now they’re just trying to be upfront about it.
I don't think Vivaldi markets to privacy-obsessed users, and it's quite different from anything out there.
Altera was acquired by Intel.

Xilinx was not.
What this tells me is that companies need excel expertise and they need it badly, but are rarely willing to pay for it. This tells experts, that advertising their skills in this area is not going to result in rewards, rather it will cost them their time sorting messed up data. Is this a valid interpretation?

Also, since half the thread is Shkrekreli, I predict this will be featured in this week's n-gate.
Had something similar this year with back pain.

Was having manageable lower back pain when my pack suddenly froze up. It feels like your body is just stuck, and moving it will cause your spine to rip out - all from just muscle spasm tightening it.

It causes this mortal fear to rise up inside you. wondering how long you'll be incapacitated, living in pain, and useless.

Fortunately it was about 3 days like yourself, but you don't know that when it starts.
I guess they're comparing stock Brave (which blocks ads and trackers by default) to stock Chrome / Firefox (which don't - well, Firefox does block some trackers now). Blocking ads categorically improves page load time.
Agreed. I honestly perfer the 70s dial to most modern interfaces. One step, done.

Meanwhile if I don't want some useless preprogrammed setting, it takes a minimum of 4 keypresses to set a time, to say nothing of power. I can order food online almost as easy ffs.
I'm not saying there would be only benefits, I'm just saying that the tradeoffs are different... Earth-food works, so GMO can either marginally improve it, make it marginally worse, or make it really worse (i.e. it's the tail risk I'm worried about, same as with climate change). Space food is currently impossible, so almost anything we do will be neutral or an improvement. Also, as I mentioned, the constraints are completely different - up-front costs are mostly irrelevant, mass and speed of growth are the problem - so foods that are net negative on Earth (e.g. because they have to be produced in a lab and are hugely expensive) might be viable in space.
How to protect your phone or computer when crossing borders
In Europe most people do not drive in the cities. How is that anti social? On the contrary cars are hated: they contribute to noise pollution, real pollution, accidents, etc. They take space and breaks paths for pedestrians, scooters, bikes, etc.
The former. The separator a byte with the value 0x2F, which is equivalent to `/` in ASCII.
It doesn't matter if you already have a full time job or not.

Yes, you can do the Nebengewerbe/Einzelunternehmen while having a full time job. You should create an additional bank account and use that one for your side business, which will make it easier for book keeping (otherwise you have to open your private bank account to the tax authorities). You can also get a VAT ID, if you do EU business outside of Germany.

Freelancer is something else as you might think, some jobs fall in the category of "Freiberufler", which is some creative jobs, etc... All others are simply "Gewerbetreibende".

You can also found a UG/GmbH on the side, you don't need to do it fulltime. You should look in your contract though if there is anything that prevents you from doing so.

Sadly I can't suggest anyone since I had to take care of everything myself as well, I simply work together with a regular tax guy. I am based in Germany as well and started basically the same way as you.
Art has meaning, and some intended meanings expressed through art are nullified when the art piece is turned into a commodity.

Artists rebelling against commodification of their art pieces in the past saw their own anti-commodification art works turned into commodities, thus nullifying their message.

The message that comes through becomes the ideas that you have expressed.

Modern artists like Banksy or Damien Hirst, or anyone who has read Naomi Klein's "No Logo", are knowledgeable of this.
Can we do Manhattan next? Haha, just kidding. The dysfunction of our city politics makes obvious life-improving policies completely untenable. Hell, we can't even change the way we collect our garbage or maintain our (totally necessary, vital) mass transit.
They actually explain what exactly is stored and what it is used for. You can see and control it as well. But on hacker news and this is an unpopular opinion.
People often confuse the English language and the English spelling. The English language is actually really easy to learn because it has a very simple grammar.

The English spelling is a different problem set because it often reflects how a word was pronounced centuries ago. It has no connection to the current pronunciation, so learning the correct spelling of a word is basically like learning Chinese characters.
Props for the simplicity in getting something published. That's really cool.

Along similar lines, I went back to LibreOffice recently and made a few web pages with it, just to try it out. It worked better than I expected.

After adding a simple PHP controller to the mix, injecting some CSS for responsiveness and other tags as needed, I have been impressed with how easy it makes publishing. If a single-pager is what's needed (or multi-pagers perhaps; I just haven't tried it yet), if what matters most is getting links and information public, it's a useful tool.
Errr....sorry, but, respectfully: fuck you, this is the Internet.
Some quick, back-of-the-envelope-math, suggests the total energy used amounts to about 1'389 mAh (roughly 5 Coulombs, based on an article saying it transfers about 1 nanoampere of current per ring and rung about 10 billion times since it was completed).

Watthours and Joules is difficult to know without measuring the voltage on the device, which would also have to involve the change in voltage over time to get a more accurate number. I'm probably wide off once you account for the reduced power over time.
You can't pinch to zoom the UI of native Android/iOS apps. Makes sense that web apps with "native-like look" might want to behave similarly.
On the contrary, I think Javascript on its own isn't all that unwieldy; however, the monolithic toolchain that developers insist on wrapping their otherwise simple code in is what drives me up the wall.

One of the bug commenters said that "neither reviews nor photos" could be seen and believes that it was because "I once used this app in China" but does not explicitly mention swapping out the SIM card.

I want to like Brave, but I just can't get past the planned ads, the crypto stuff, how memory intensive chromium is, and, well, I really like Firefox.

My browser is for reading docs, for JS/WASM development, and the occasional Gmail or HN visit, so maybe I'm not their target market.
I've seen it being abused by people who are creeping into a burnout. Making the burn in deeper.

Like any stim, especially in our community, be careful.

I bet there's plenty of public money and quick decisions for SPORTS TEAMS though!
It's not unambiguous at all. If I do

"część" == "część".encode('<some-obscure-encoding>')

should it return True? They are 'equivalent' after all. But that would mean it should work for any encoding, so testing `s == b` would entail trying to decode `b` as every known encoding to see if any of them gives `s`.

My point is, `s == b` is not a well-defined question. It only makes sense to ask it for a particular encoding: "Are these two things isomorphic according to cp-1252?"¹². Giving a type error is a decent way of signalling all this.

---

¹ And even then, I don't like automatic type conversions that enable things like `3 == "3"`, but I guess that's a matter of taste.

² Of course you could pick a convention like `s == b <=> s = b.decode("utf8")`, but that's a different question.

If you use Windows 10 Professional or above, though, you can defer Redstone updates for a maximum of 1 year while still getting the usual bugfixes.

That's OK as far as it goes, and maybe for casual power users (if there is such a thing) it's better than nothing.

However, for small business users who would traditionally also be using the Pro edition of Windows, a one-year delay is marginally more valuable than a chocolate teapot. We're talking about the operating system, the foundation on which the rest of our software base is built, and that software base may cost thousands per machine. The guaranteed support period is missing a zero if it wants to be taken seriously.
0x2f is / in ASCII and UTF-8, so this question doesn't make that much sense.
I hear you. There’s a time and a place for 3 level deep complexity and 4th wall breaking stuff but the majority of the things are best enjoyed without reading anything into it.
What're you talking about? Their content creator program is completely voluntary, and their business model (and the Basic Attention Token) is designed to serve content creators, and is not driven by ads or data collection (like Chrome is).

Brave is the only hope I see for a strictly "privacy-by-default" browser, which is not powered by an ad-based business model. Brendan Eich isn't a dumbell, he knows what is wrong with broswer-based privacy and what needs fixing.

PS: I use Brave on Android and the experience has been better than Chrome.
Pretty rare but not unheard of. I do know that most of the code bases I work in would require significant reworking if I have to expect `==` to throw a TypeError for basic builtin types.

This is a separate issue.

My point is that the current regulatory approach to GMO lacks scientific integrity, and is anachronistic and hypocritical.

Alcohol can be justified as having some cultural merit, and there are many people who use it moderately. Tobacco is just making money from nicotine addicts while they kill themselves slowly. No need to ban it outright, just double the price every few years.
Generic Search Algorithm
Do you really need Docker or Kubernetes in your system?
Y'know Windows 10 has loads of great little improvements say on Windows 2000.. You only really notice them when u try to use an old machine running 2000 or XP or whatever and theyre not there..

Examples..

can cut/copy and paste files mutiples times and it will queue them up..

When copying files it shows progress + graphs the speed.

Right click on windows button to get list of loads of common management tools (that b4 u had to dig down to in various weird places)

Alt-tab shows little thumbnail of each program running.

thumbnails of image files and whatnot in explorer

loads of option in the explorer GUI for searching and displaying files

powershell

drag window to side to have it take up half the screen

etc. etc.

These are all great useful and non intrusive design ideas.
Thats good design. And I reckon they came about from more grassroots action, eg. customer feedback or boots on the ground engineers.

'Design concepts' like Metro are the kind of shit that marketing or upper management come up with as part of some dubious business or marketing scheme, and then are awkwardly and irritatingly foisted upon the engineers and users alike. That kind of BS is utterly regressive.

Chances are you are legally obliged to report work done in the country you live in. Since you're doing software, a very remotable business, there's a fair chance you can get away with it, but an accountant will probably tell you you're not supposed to.

Whether it's a good idea to incorporate while having a job, that depends mostly on your relationship with your employer. Some will care, and some will not.
Hence the question.

I actually didn't find any specific "airtable" training, I just used the docs and forums. I had prior knowledge working with microsoft access and database design, so airtable was an easy transition.

If I were to learn it without any prior experience, I would just look through every template they have. See which industries I'm most familiar with. And look at how those databases are organized.

https://airtable.com/templates

They have a really good 12 minute overview though, hitting every major concept though. https://vimeo.com/165624533

I would also learn a little bit about relational database design. This 5 minute video is a good starting point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvrpuBAMddw

I like using databaseanswers.org as a reference resource. This is a very nice 5 minute introduction to designing a database. http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/5_minute_tutorial...

Basically, if you come from an excel background, it would help if you knew a little bit about database design, and relational databases. Its not necessary, but Airtable is practically excel + microsoft-access.

Start with a template, and play around with it. I would get familiar with this page in particular though. Formula and lookups are something you'll use often in any airtable base. https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/202576519-Gui.... This was perhaps the least obvious concept for me to pickup naturally.

It's very noticeable how pleasant Madrid is to wander around even currently in comparison to other big European cities. Cars seem well confined to certain streets and everywhere else is very quiet (in terms of traffic) in comparison.
That's fine. You don't have to use Google apps on Android. Better, you get to choose which apps to use as default on Android, unlike on iOS as I showed earlier. Whether you use Google apps or not, iOS collects more data from you than Android, as I also showed earlier.
I think that "deal" is just complains coming from someone that doesn't yet understand the engineering tradeoffs between strong static and weak type systems. That the nice functions for String come in the Prologue and that you need to implement or use other libraries for the functions for byte sequences or other stuff is not an excuse or a problem of the language as a tool.
