>Then surely the problem isn't harrassment, but assault?...

Woah, woah, woah.

I said internet crazies showing up at your place of employment is a problem. That doesn't make it assault.

For instance, the outrage brigade might show up to protest in front of the company where you work for a few weeks. This is their right as Americans, and I realize and acknowledge that. At the same time, I believe it is harassment. I didn't say we should do anything to stop it. I only said that it most definitely is a problem. And if it happened to you, I'd bet that right around the time your boss called you into his or her office to give you your final paycheck, you would start to think it is a problem too.

I think you went about 5 bridges WAY too far with calling a lot of that harassment "assault". A lot of the harassment is not assault. That's why it's so hard to stop. The assault stuff is the stuff that the fbi would be called in on generally speaking.
It's an apples vs. oranges comparison.

I (Cloudflare) am talking about traffic %; Google is talking about % of users. Cloudflare doesn't have a concept of 'user'.
It really depends on the problem space, though. And for most reasonable applications, Rails/Sinatra scale just fine through well-understood horizontal methods. By the time you're getting to where they don't scale well, you're probably longing desperately for a rewrite anyway, because your core problem has shifted from "Does this solve an actual business case?" to "How do I make this support a heavy load?"
It doesn't, Bitcoin is as safe as the security of the person who holds it. And as someone who had Bitcoin on Mt Gox, this is a moot point to argue.
This is extremely low quality and unprofessional. Reading multiple articles debunking this, it seems it's nothing more suspicious or 'unethical' than Google Now, because China doesn't use Google Play Services they needed to make something of their own similar.
> So, the goal is actually to offer control, but we are indeed trying to prevent systems from getting out of date for good. Maybe that's a bad idea

You think? Someone saw all the complaints about Windows 10's forced updates and thought "we should totally do that too"? Seriously?

That's OK. We can keep up the consumerist "Everybody needs a car" mentality as long as the amount of driving per capita stays low.

How else would you avoid people identifying who you are online, other than not posting any identifiable information? If you post your home address and phone number on Facebook and people start prank calling you in the middle of the night and sending pizzas to your house, is Facebook really to blame here?
You misunderstand, I don’t mean Canada should cutoff trade with the US, I mean that it should be working on ensuring that the US is not as critical to its economy.

That is the sensible thing for Canada to do. No one wants their economy to be dependent on a country that from one election to the next may choose to divorce itself from reality, or at a moments notice label long term allies as being “the enemy”.

Of course Canada will continue to try to maintain trade, but they recognize that in the long term that is no longer a safe option...
Requiring confirmation with an SMS code seems like a reasonable step to tie accounts to a more permanent identifier which can then be used for moderation.
As mentioned in other posts, on average PMs are more experienced than average SWEs (there are far fewer PM roles so it's easy to restrict the hiring pool to only exerperienced/senior candidates). This doesn't mean PMs make more than SWEs of equivalent experience, and frequently they don't.

I like this project in it's concept, but I could never get the server to run properly.

I also have problems with the fact that the IPs of the watchers are publicly shared due to the nature of the beast (p2p sharing). I'd like something like this but where I could give the users the option of running directly off my server or p2p. Perhaps this is even possible and that I have not seen it yet.

It would be awesome if I could run my own "pod" with my let's plays and have it federated throughout the network. Currently I use google but without any form of monetisation as it's a hobby and I don't want to burden people with adds.

Knowing google though they probably show adds themselvs and/or penalise me in the search for not having the on.
It's a good point. I'm very interested in plans to allow recouping of network costs. I'm happy to store my videos on my home desktop or in the cloud somewhere; that's inexpensive. But if a million people want to download my videos in 4K someday? I can't afford to pay for that. Those downloaders might be willing to pay a few pennies each, though. An advertising network seems like the obvious but wrong solution. I wonder if there could be some standardized way of generifying payment for videos, so that users could plug in any combination of ad viewing, direct payments, or whatever as desired, so that the ecosystem around getting money out of viewers could develop independently from the ecosystem for providing content.
If your logic made any sense then only countries with standing armies could successfully issue their own currencies, but that's obviously not the case.

Wow, tough customer! I have resigned myself to the need to do the equivalent of `dpkg -L | grep /bin/` to discover where the binaries are.
Because a Scotland Yard assessment have said so, combined with the fact the organisation remains legal and no members have been arrested for anything related to the SWP. Of course they could be lying, and have left a dangerous organisation continue operating, but that seems rather more far fetched to me.

Also, the senior PMs all straddle the line between sales, consulting/services, and R&D. They tend to spend a lot of time in the company booth at conferences, dealing with client C-levels one-on-one, and working with our sales to team to ensure R&D is building stuff that will generate revenue. Their day-to-day interaction is with VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE mores than with us plebes.

There shouldn't be any surprise that these are highly compensated positions.
Only ironic if you discount nostalgia from every generation. I too prefer the social media-and-screen-free life of Cold War America, with the closer and stricter family structure that existed then. But I would not trade the mobility, agency, choice, and convenience of the modern age for those rosy memories.

I say categorically: no non-ideological ex-Eastern Blocer wishes to return to the lower standard of living and simple lack of options imposed by Soviet rule, regardless of what hardship the iron fist of US hegemony imposes.

As a Canadian citizen myself, I firmly urge fellow Canadians to have their own independent thinking and policies. Canada should not be manipulated by foreign politicians. This is blatant interference of Canada's internal affairs by foreign politicians. If the US wants to fight China, Canada should not side with either. It is our best interest to stay neutral.
A little bit crazy, yes.

This is probably still a positive change on several levels. Plants can be remediated better than vehicles, electrification delinks generation from use to ease later greening, and for particulate pollution (unlike CO2) moving emissions away from population centers is meaningful.

That said... yes. Electrification is a massive improvement in the US, Canada, and Western Europe, but much less useful in Russia, China, and much of SE Asia. Adding to that, pushing pollution sources away from cities reinforces the demographic crisis China has had brewing for a long time, with everything from lead to lack of iodine creating serious permanent health issues in rural regions.
Yes, because if cryptocurrencies became the standard, armies will become obsolete and Nation states will dissolve their Military programs. Makes sense.
Boy, do I hate PMs. It’s as if almost every PM I’ve had to deal with isn’t particularly proficient in business, programming, or design management but knows exactly enough of all 3 silos to be dangerous at once to the other two. More often than not, I’ve found a PM will try to steer a project with some compromise to dev and design and bias toward business — in my selfish opinion as a single-silo employee, it’s mostly frustrating. PMs always come across like they believe they are miniature CEOs.

But, all that said... I could never do what they do. Oftentimes PMs are the last guys to leave, working weekends, scrambling for last minute keynotes and honestly pushing out ideas faster than anyone — good or bad. So even though I don’t always like working under a PM, I definitely respect the position and think in general the good ones really deserved the $$$.
I was specifically addressing the SWP. I absolutely agree with you that for many (and maybe the vast majority) of the others, it probably was much less justified.
> nothing should be executable in the home folder

Says who? The purpose of a home directory to contain user-specific files including executables. Developers compile their software and write their scripts in their home directory. Even if we made the absurd decision that no file may be executed from the directory, there are many ways to cause harm by simply editing user-specific configuration files (e.g. in ~/.config).

Arguing that the problem is with executables in $HOME rather than Flatpak is incredibly delusional.
I'm one of those 500 paid users (renewed my yearly subscription a few days ago), so here's my arguing why:

- It's arguably the only Markdown editor dedicated to note keeping that looks even remotely modern on Ubuntu.

- Its mobile support is decent and gets the job done.

- The developer is very responsive. I can't contribute to the code directly, but my name has appeared on a changelog multiple times because I suggested features / reported problems. Unlike an open source project, this one has a person dedicated to it full time whose goal is to keep me happy as a subscriber. Issues I raise don't tend to be open for months or years with no end, they tend to be fixed within a month or so.

- Its plugins are easy to install. Similarly to Atom, I'm only "ipm install <plugin>" away from having a plugin.

- I find GTD features (notebooks, tags, to-do lists) to be nice to have, even though I don't rely on them extensively.

- I can create a public link for a note and share it with whoever.

- In case shit hits the fan, you can back up the data to a local folder and sync it using whatever.

If I was relying on macOS or Windows, I would have probably found something else.

Standard Notes, as the only decent competitor, is out of the question for me since I would have to use a third-party cloud instead of my own Nextcloud install for the backups.

Sinatra is a minimalist framework. It even describes itself as being a domain specific language, not a framework. IMO author should have just gone with Rails if they wanted an easily extendable, batteries-included framework with a massive community.
The US also imprisons 1 in every 20 African Americans.
Of course, I agree. But though in practice Sinatra may be just a library for routing HTTP requests to a Ruby application, it is marketed as a relatively complete environment for building web applications, making a bunch of these criticisms valid.
> it should be working on ensuring that the US is not as critical to its economy

Installing Huawei telecom equipment would be a "cutting off the nose to spite the face" way of achieving economic independence. I agree that Canada should work to diversify its economy. But diversifying away from the U.S., instead of working to improve the relationship, would be silly given the geographic, cultural and linguistic proximity between the nations.

It's not really true for any forum. It's true that most people are interested in the getting rich part, and I wouldn't expect anything much more different, considering how many(not too many) people incline toward libertarianism and/or are technically competent enough to understand cryptocurrencies and various nuances.

There's probably good discussion on bitcoin mailing lists, and I know there is good discussion on bitcoincore IRC/Slack. Probably some other places I'm missing seeing how I'm not all that involved besides reading some stuff here and there.
Not so bigi would say. Lived ~3 years in Amsterdam with an average bike always loosely locked in the street and it has never been stolen.
But to be honest, poverty in NL is also a problem that's been managed quite well ; which does not mean there is no crime (I've had 3 burglary attempts) but maybe crimes that paya bit more than stealing average bikes in the street.
Much like mathematics, programming is learned through action. As a fairly cautious individual, I wanted to understand everything I was about to type as input for the compiler. I would recommend the opposite approach: Copy code examples line by line, and start modifying them with simple changes such as variable names, output strings, etc.
> This split between micro and macro frameworks wasn't done in Ruby because of some intrinsic properties of the language. The same split was copied in many other languages, from JavaScript to Java. I think the reason it started in Ruby

web.py predates Sinatra (the 2005 rewrite of Reddit was on web.py), Django is about as old as RoR, Zope dates back to the late 90s, TwistedWeb is quoted in the 2003 WSGI PEP (333).

Stating that Ruby started µfw and the split between micro- and macro-frameworks seems like an incomplete and severely blinkered reading of history.

To their credit, WinAmp and QuickTime (or any other known video player) never rotated the zoom widget with the video rotation, the lower end of which was so small it was unusable at any scale, and the entirety of which was unusable at any non-normal rotation or reflection.

https://imgur.com/gallery/g0acV

That's right: the mouse target is the outlined region whose width (and thus usability) diminishes to zero towards one end. It's the most Fitts' Law Hostile user interface I've ever seen, AND it rotates sideways and upside down with the video, AND the mouse tracking doesn't work at all in 3 out of 4 rotations (or reflection), only when it's non-rotated and non-reflected: they didn't bother to transform the mouse event coordinates, just the video-resolution user interface drawing!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law

Don't even get me started about "interlaying" the user interface INTO the video, so it looks jaggy with unreadable text, instead of "overlaying" the user interface at full screen resolution. Just look at those blocky letters "VLC ZOOM HIDE", and the ferocious jaggies on the diminishing zoom slider curve!

It's not even worth fixing any of those particular bugs in the zoom interface, because the entire concept of "interlaying" the user interface into the video is fatally flawed.

All that code needs to be printed out and burned, and VLC's entire user interface needs to be completely rearchitected from scratch by designers who know and respect Fitts' Law, so it works consistently across all platforms at all resolutions and rotations (and doesn't suck, while they're at it).

But that's not what the VLC developers want to acknowledge or work on. They're more interested in supporting the latest fashionable Anime format.

Your DLCs also expand the capabilities of the editors, because you need to add new functionality to program the levels hopefully (otherwise, you haven't really done much worth paying for).

Fixed width fonts let you quickly parse syntax. Syntax and semantics are equally important when reading code, whereas semantics are generally the only thing you need for understanding the written language.

That said, I haven't seriously tried programming using variable width fonts; maybe it's a well-kept secret to digesting code. Or maybe it's like Hemp Milk, there's a reason it hasn't caught on.
wait are you saying fixed width fonts are only useful for manual formatting? because I find they make it much easier to read code.

Not to mention intent. The US is ostensibly targeting those drones to attack individuals that their intelligence apparatus has identified as hostile. We can talk about the ethical and methodological problems with this approach, that's fine.

But China's operation appears to have the goal of wiping out Uygher culture and forcibly stripping them of their religious practices. This is all-out assault on the autonomy and dignity of an entire ethnic group. The scariest thing to me is that it might actually work[1].

This argument is dead wrong and impeding progress. As other commenters have mentioned, stationary sources are much easier to filter. They're also more efficient than thousands of small internal combustion engines. They also produce pollution away from where people are breathing it.

They have / had tentacles in lots of lefty causes, which I would speculate is what made them interesting to the police. I think they largely managed this by being fairly well resourced and organized, notably they organized transport to demos for huge numbers of people. I haven't really kept up with the gossip recently though. I imagine things like the recent Stop Trump demo had a lot of input from SWP or former-SWP people, but I don't really know who organizes what these days.
They most certainly do not serve and protect the community.. That is unless by community you mean "law enforcement community". They do indeed serve and protect their own gang quite effectively.
It's really the other way around, at least in my state. If you quit or voluntarily leave, then you aren't eligible for unemployment. If you are laid off then you are eligible for unemployment. Whether you can collected unemployment for being "fired" depends on the circumstances of termination. Again, this might vary locally.

I think this is important to clarify because this could affect the people here, not because it affects the subject of the article.
