> Further, Trump wasn't elected by a fake extreme majority as with Putin, he squeaked by courtesy of the electoral college system. His opposition spent three times as much money as he did and had nearly all of the media on their side. He is popularly and very openly opposed by nearly all elites[...]

I wonder if this is better or worse.
Trump is like the ALDI version of the other two and this low afford leaders seems to become a thing in the west while you need to push and control people in the east. I wonder what the implications will be once those new western ALDI leaders caused enough damage. What did we learn? How can we prevent this?

Aside from the other (excellent) comments already made, Apple neither has the same market share as Android nor does it have a (near) monopoly in search or advertising.
While the article makes an excellent effort at making the material accessible to the general public, I find it kind of sad that they automatically assume that any sort of math is "cryptic" or "complicated"–i.e. something to be avoided.
I had a 3 days Perl formation with an excellent teacher (17 years ago). I do not code much in perl, but when someone in the buildong has a bug in a perl script, he comes to see me. I think the perl books are not very good for a beginner because they do not focus on the most usefull parts. The ideas behind the syntax makes it easy to remember (your whole life) once you have passed the first steps of learning.
Our local communist Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant loves to excoriate Amazon with her bullhorn. She gets a lot of press for it.
Amazon's denial also came from Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy, who wrote:

> @tim_cook is right. Bloomberg story is wrong about Amazon, too. They offered no proof, story kept changing, and showed no interest in our answers unless we could validate their theories. Reporters got played or took liberties. Bloomberg should retract.

https://twitter.com/ajassy/status/1054401346827243520

Given that the alleged incident concerned Amazon Web Services, I would hesitate to make the assumption that anyone knows more or would be more involved than AWS's CEO and CISO. Of course, you can accuse them of lying, but it seems unreasonable that they would both somehow not know.

I don't know much about Michael Cava but I'd guess from his LinkedIn job description that he's involved in Amazon.com security specifically and not AWS. He is not listed as an officer or director in the investor relations website: https://ir.aboutamazon.com/board-of-directors while Jassy is.

Cava's job as he described it on LinkedIn sounds like it involves retail operations security, and not AWS data center security:

> Serve as the Chief Security Officer for Worldwide Operations and Customer Service. Lead a team of security, loss prevention, inventory control and business continuity professionals providing physical security design standards, access control management, loss prevention and shrink reduction programs, inventory quality assurance, crisis management and investigative services in support of Amazon's global fulfillment, logistics, delivery and retail operations.

Hey, did you just receive the invite?
My memories over a decade old here but ... as I recall there was an early perl based protopuppet that luke wrote and used in his consulting roles in the early 2000s. This was after splitting from cfengine and moving towards a declarative model.

For better or worse Ruby really does seem a good fit for the puppet use case. A flexible DSL for expressing config intent, coupled with a very extensible/inheritance based parse & apply model.

I’m not the biggest fan of tobacco, however we are going to use the same business model to pay people to smoke it! Why? Because I think everyone has the right to make their own decisions and with tobacco we will give 75+% of the profits to donate to creating universal healthcare. If not, people are going to keep smoking anyways and Philip Morris is just gonna pocket the cash.

The same for weed and alcohol. We are going to pay people to smoke weed and drink too!

The same goes for gambling. These things are always going to be a huge part of society so why not put the majority of that profit to good use?

So we’re on the same page, we’re not trying to expand the Free Economy. Consumer First Economics is the next step after. It means we’re always going to aim to give a value beyond free. And our our competitors will have to do the same. Hense all the profit sharing. We’re going this route to accelerate global charitable donations. Once we launch successfully, our competitors are going to have to offer free plus 50% or better. However, we are always going to offer the highest quality products and services, with the highest level of customer service, with the greatest value beyond free. I’ll keep giving more and more profit to society until it becomes a profit less company. That’s where I think the market is headed anyways.

Regardless, I’m always available if you want to bounce some ideas back and forth. My passion is to troubleshoot and improve niches.

I gave this a look but the version of Rust is 1.9 from May 2016... There's been 20 releases (excluding patch releases) since then. For a language with such great backwards compatibility seems like it should be kept more up to date.
> There is a mountain of anti-Trump sentiment and protest across the US and has been for two years now. It is not being silenced or stopped, it's on nearly every TV channel 24/7 and it's all over the US Internet.

To be more precise, i am pretty sure since he took office 640 days ago, there has not been a single day where there wasn't some negative trump story in the papers, a quick shot or mock clip on some late night TV show or some outrage on Twitter.

3) There is a laptop out there with 'open' firmware you can find. flash all the chips to your liking, and have it somewhat better than this situation. That being said of course you would have to develop your own operating system and user space for it otherwise it would be useless to go through the trouble... which is the part these people are mainly working on, since it's more practical to begin with.

I hope with innovations in fpga and other types of programmable hardware ideas perhaps for low resource secure computing we can have some alternatives (for personal communciations etc.) while for high performance computing it will be ways to go before such a vendor would release something completly open and auditable. (intellectual property protection is too important (businesswise, not human-wise) in such a market unfortunatley to survive as a company who needs to invest years worth of revenue just to put up an assembly line...)

So, would this problem be solved if Google labeled Qi charging as "standard-speed" and their own proprietary charging as "high-speed"? It seems like people are getting hung up on both things being called highest-speed charging, when in fact you only get the best charging performance from the Google branded chargers.

This seems similar to my Nexus 6 phone. It shipped with a Google high-speed charger (wired) which offers a 15 minute "fast charge" mode. However, if I plug it into an Apple charger (which will work just fine) it doesn't use fast charge mode and reverts to standard charge mode. I'm perfectly OK with this situation.

If I read the article & comments correctly, the problem is that Aptoide is/was sometimes/often used to distribute cracked apps from Google's AppStore and/or removing in-app purchase requirements for additional features.

They did, technically, in the release notes for the update that introduced it. That said, it could (and should?) have been more prominent.
A. reminds me of JS objects.

B. is to expected, and I think it might be useful; e.g. we prevent accidental copying of singletons in C++ via operator= (T &other) = delete;. I'd guess you could do something similar in python.

To top that: Yesterday I learned that you can legally overload the unary operator & in C++. Smuggling that into a large code base seems like a good way to mess with your colleagues ;)
> How can we prevent this?

Prevent what? Trump and the recent rise of right-leaning populist leaders in Europe (Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Sweden, Italy, Austria, Switzerland partly, Slovakia...) was simply the will of the people. Its not "fake news" that has elected these forces, it was the failure of the former mid-left/mid-right government parties to listen to their people and they have been voted out of office rightfully.
Not quite the unanimity assumed by the public at large.
Cantrill is a smart guy. But he has always had a big mouth. And the fact is his post was written with ZERO experience with Unikernels. Zero. He was just assuming they act the way he imagined and attacked that image.

This situation is absolutely disgusting. China will stamp out the Muslim religion, and anyone not preemtively converting will be destroyed. Indeed probably a lot more than that. Where does it end?

I have made the decision to support the Chinese as little as I can, and fight the regime where I can. In my field, academia, this can actually matter a lot. I encourage you to do the same.

Muslims arent the most popular people right now, but the parallels to another religious ethnicity in history are too strong.

I am differentiating by

- Potentially having an on-premise option

- being completely flexible with the automation, and having the ability to write just regular JS code with node modules if need be.

- providing some unique managed services bundled in the ecosystem

- targeting creating entire applications with UI that leverage automation for their logic (for example a dummy todo app, that manipulates Asana and your Calendar both)
>Well, these unnamed "tech companies" are responsible for the proliferation of absurd lies that will elect a far right authoritarian candidate in my country, Brazil.

There was no reason why the opposition to that candidate couldn't have put up their own absurd lies, or, dare I say, disproved the far right candidate's lies, thereby achieving the same success via the same platform. The elections are all about effective campaigning. You can't blame the platform because the candidate you don't like is too effective at using it. Instead learn from your mistakes and use this platform to be just as effective.
Solar power is not the preferred energy source before we figured out storage. Just because the marginal cost of adding a watt of solar is currently lower than adding a watt of coal that doesn't mean that we can switch off coal plants and replace them with solar.
John Spencer: “There’s no bullshit like design bullshit”
OK, so here's the thing from a politician's point of view:

If you do something fairly extreme for curtailment, like a tax on fuel that motorists really notice, the other party will get voted in and they'll undo it. Now you've got kicked out of office, with no environmental benefit to show for it.

And if you go further with something like a ban on pet dogs or ban on meat-eating? Same thing but faster and with more certainty.

Traditional car companies are also working on autonomous vehicles.

There is a lot of business to be had with Level 4. While the car may not be able to go everywhere, in restricted areas a robot-taxi/shuttle service would be a great advancement. We would all love to be at Level 5 but I would take a solid Level 4 in a few years instead of waiting much much longer for a viable Level 5 solution.
By default, React doesn’t check if individual props are equal. This is for two reasons:

1. We support using mutable objects in props. Even if a prop is reference identical to the last render, the component might be reading some property of it that has changed.

2. Checking equality of props takes time. In the (common) case where a parent rerenders and it’s children need to change in response, any time we spend comparing will be extra overhead on top of the actual render cost. Often rerendering is fast anyway and adding more comparisons only makes it slower.

Because of these, we don’t do these checks by default. Instead, we recommend adding memo/PureComponent/shouldComponentUpdate in places where you know it will make a difference.
You might be in the market for a Chromebook. Keep in mind that this isn't really what the author is talking about, though–a significant part of her paper is a desire for the ability to keep her information private, which includes measures such as removing wireless functionality.
> Wanna increase salaries and stock grants? Sure, do it. Two quarters later Wall Street will fuck you up because your new shiny compensation model just shaved the company revenue. ... So that 5% of lost revenue is going to cost you 20% or 30% of market value, and now all those stock grants are 30% less valuable. So your great initiative just put you in a negative spiral.

This basically, is what people mean when they say "fuck the system". It's not about some particular greedy bosses or managers or even shareholders. It's that the whole economy is apparently now structured in a way that businesses don't seem to have a choice. (Or at least the managers believe they don't have a choice).
The value lies in security in this context. You also get a bit of performance as the "unikernels" are self-contained. So you can do most things, including the IP stack without switching into kernel mode.

I'm guessing this is mostly interesting for FaaS platforms or similar. You get isolation similar to hardware-assisted vms but with a lot less overhead and with phenomenal boot-times.

You're orders of magnitude more likely to die in a regular old car accident than you are as a result of your car being hacked.

I'm as concerned about insecure computers in cars as the next tinfoil-wearing conspiracy theorist (that is to say- very, very much), but let's not overstate the actual numbers. A modern car getting hacked is a real risk that needs to be handled, but the actual occurrence of it in the wild is extremely low, and likely to remain that way for at least the next few decades.
My paid app has gotten between 5k-25k downloads on their store, obviously without me getting a cent.
What are my options to hurt them as much as possible?
I'm a software developer too. Mostly mobile and backend.

On the mobile part, most of the clients have pretty much no idea what a processor really is, or how networks work. Hell, I have to explain to them that if they want to build this kittens social network, they're going to need a back-end and that no, it doesn't matter to the mobile apps what language their back-end is written in (and vice-versa).

For most of what these people ask, all you need to know are the basics of Android and iOS's SDKs and how to make API calls. Half the time, their isn't even any networking involved !

I'd be thrilled to work in an environment where this kind of knowledge matters. But like most people I'm stuck working with some people who'll tell you that they don't want to be software developers; it's just a means to an end to them (which is fine. Just don't use that as a shoddy excuse for doing crap), refactoring codebases built by some kids who don't have any software architecture knowledge and don't see the problem in their network layers popping modals and alerts, wondering how on earth a view could end up being a singleton (and no, "I was somehow convinced I needed to access it and change it's properties from this class over there" is not a satisfactory answer) or spend half my day on a single rebase because of some git submodule crap.

So yeah, for most of the people I've had the 'delight' of working with, they are missing so much that no, hardware intricacies, processors inner working, compilers logic and functioning or networking knowledge aren't the critical aspects they're missing.

Heck, I'd be glad if their code was even just readable and had anything resembling an architecture. Or if they didn't turn everything and anything into a singleton whenever they felt like it.

I'm going to stop now. But going back to the architects analogy, if these developers where architects, then most of those I've met can't tell the difference between plumbing and electrical wiring, so I'd be glad if they left the concrete to the craftsmen and at least managed the basics of their jobs' specifics.

Call for Participation: .NET and TypeScript at FOSDEM Conference
From the perspective of the person receiving the request, this is just yet another request in a minefield of random tasks, all which have varying priority and deadline and complexity.

Even if all the things they have to do are easy, just juggling them all is logistically challenging. Without the right process or motivation, there is nothing making the author's "nothing task" require immediate attention. It is common for a "simple" request to end up taking 3-6 months, because there's no obvious way to balance work on that task against all other work.

The hope is that team integration paradigms like DevOps can help identify and alleviate them. Take these blockers (that's what they are, not "canary macguffins", just old blockers) and automate them or remove them entirely. If you can't, add a step that allows your request to jump the line. Involve your managers, but use empathy and open communication.
