Xerox shut down PARC because it lost its patent monopoly and had to start competing with Japanese copier makers. Competition is awful for R&D-intensive innovation. (When was the last time Lenovo or HP invented something? Who does R&D now? It’s companies like Google that have moats in the form of network effects around their users and data.)

If we abolished patents in pharma we wouldn’t have cures for anything. Nobody will blow half a billion dollars on R&D for an easily copied drug without some sort of moat.
Is there a way to check who is affected? Have I been owned style
I have a free social network app that makes $122/month on Patreon[0] (from 43 patrons). Userbase is about 3.4k with ~200 DAU. I offer in-app recognition and the ability to vote monthly on what features I work on. I won't be quitting my job, but it's nice to not have to pay for servers and marketing out of pocket.

There is a culture thing about MacBook Pro's being used by developers. The latest round of MBP has a pretty horrible keyboard experience, so home or at the office, I have it hooked up to monitor, keyboard and mouse. When I had a previous gen MBP, I used that as screen-1 plus keyboard.

I'd venture a guess that 95% of developers (myself included) don't need the horsepower a desktop could provide. I would have to try hard to utilize all the resources on a laptop too.
The past of the world was city based as well. Low-density human settlement as the norm is, at least for now, unsustainable. We are living in an experiment.
Obscenity laws are constitutional in the US. Obscene speech is not protected by the 1st Amendment:

There are myriads of other exceptions to 1st Amendment protections (including, even if people often don't think of it that way, intellectual property rights):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exce...

The whole idea that "Free speech is protected in the US but not in Europe" is just an (libertarian?) meme with no basis in fact.
In the latest Firefox, the console informs me

This is due to Firefox's built-in content blocking / tracking protection [1], not a plugin.

I read about this first when I saw the movie "Gravity". I think if it really becomes that bad, given enough resources mankind can solve it.
Arena is looking for a backend dev to work in one of NYC, Baltimore or Chicago. We are building AI that helps predict employee retention in the hiring process. There's a few more legs to be built to give us the "3 of enterprise" but for now, most of our clients are happy with just the one offering.

Using OCaml, Python and some C# (would love to convert to F#.)

MIR-based borrowck is almost here
For Android, it is extremely easy to do that via an app called NoRoot Firewall. What it does is it creates a VPN server on localhost and routes all traffic to that. When an app wants to connect to a host, it shows a notification which when clicked, you can see the URL/ip and the app name. Then, you decide whether you accept the connection or not. It supports permanent blacklisting and whitelisting as well.

Since a browser like Opera can integrate a proprietary VPN without messing with OS network settings, doing the same on other browsers should be possible.
Team of one? The Zen postmortem
I've asked aws in the past for an API that lets you describe a sequence of changes in a batch, it tells you whether there's any problems with the sequence (like "at step nine of this batch, you tried to create an instance in a vpc subnet that was deleted by step four of this batch"). And then if there are no issues with the batch, another API lets you have aws execute the batch. It sounds a lot like the DDL transactions you mentioned.
Of necessity both client and server have the session keys.

In principle it would be possible for the client to lack keys needed for the server to read data sent by the client, and vice versa, but in practice this is never done.

Under Forward Secrecy a Middlebox must learn fresh session keys for every connection or it can't decrypt it. Both clients (e.g. Firefox) and servers (e.g. using Java or OpenSSL) have facilities to dump the session keys out somewhere, and this is adequate for debugging although obviously you will need to acquire new skills if you're used to being able to get stuff done with a paperclip and a copy of tcpdump. At scale this get hard, arguably that's fine because a minute ago we said we wanted this for "debugging" but people who got their foot in the door with a "debugging" argument often actually want to decrypt everything, always, and so they're unhappy about this.

If you don't want Forward Secrecy you have two options. Firstly, when the specification says to think of a random number for the key exchange protocol, you can always pick the same number, or a number chosen in some predictable fashion, the Middlebox can know this number (or method for predicting it) and then it can snoop as normal. This works in TLS 1.3, obviously it weakens your security (if bad guys learn how to predict the numbers you are screwed) but that's your choice.

Secondly you could use a key exchange process that doesn't have any Forward Secrecy by design, such as the RSA key exchange from SSL that's grandfathered into TLS 1.0 through 1.2. In this case you just give the server's private RSA key to the middleboxes and they can decrypt everything.

As you may notice in all the above scenarios, this is very bad for your security. But if "debugging" is really the problem that's almost certainly acceptable to you.
> Google for the Play Music + commercial free YouTube

easy to sell to a demographic that pursues perceived luxury over dollar to value ratio but you are right that Google has built an economic moat around their monopolies that unfortunately Apple or Microsoft can ever overthrow.

Google realized the value of services which Apple is way too late to the party. Kudos to them for trying. But I doubt the same number of people would still buy iPhones if Google one day decided to block Youtube.

5 years ago, I might have had to seriously consider the iPhone but Android tbh has gotten so good that Apple no longer feels all that special. Samsung Galaxy S8 and up are all luxurious beasts. Apple will also probably copy Samsung's DeX, I see this to be the next battleground-mobile desktop phones.

Use your phone and plug it into a monitor to use as desktop. Samsung is not graceful with UI and this is where I think Apple can expand.

Oh you mean like Reddit and T_D? Oh wait...
Sure but hosting content isn't free, so then you have the problem of paying for it. I could imagine a crypto-currency based solution but that is just sooo complicated.

Most of the reason for centralisation is simplification. Have you tried running your own email server lately?
Internet Freedom Map: declines and improvements in 2018
This would work, but only if it allowed satellites to be exempted if they had a credible plan for deoribiting (which the vast majority of satellites launched today do, BTW). In that case, no one would actually pay the deposit, since it would cost several orders of magnitude more to go "get" a satellite (as opposed to just ensuring enough delta-V left over at the end of the mission to deorbit)
What are their similar goals? This guy is planning a town, those other people were doing crypto currency mining.
"We may know", submission title doesn't match article title, which is a much weaker statement than implied.
Do you mean the money obtained from a fine?
Good question. If the recognition of others is a deciding factor, then Taiwan was previously a nation (when its government was internationally recognised) but no longer is, which is a strange conclusion.

Partly, it depends on whether the debate over nation status is a merely one of linguistics and categorisation or whether we're making ethical arguments.

When Japan annexed Korea, did the Korean people cease to constitute a nation? When Japan annexed Taiwan, did Taiwan cease to rightfully belong to the Chinese government of the time?

(As an aside, I think that no-one talking about the Taiwanese company's involvement in IP theft is a pretty good example of how the press is incentivised to lead with a sensationalised narrative that inflames sentiments, how people focus on facts that fit a pre-existing narrative, and a general bias against China).
> Not much time and sure to catch out people ...

We live in a world where most people get twitchy if they haven't looked at their phone for an hour - how is 3 months notice considered so hugely unacceptable in this particular circumstance?

> ... who don't log in/check their email frequently (including their spam folders) or who have technical problems (crap upload speeds, no capacity to download and store gigs of what might be the only existent copies of photos).

This really does sound like a tiny minority of Internet users - sufficient bandwidth and tech savvy to upload > 1000 photos back in the good old days - but insufficient attention, bandwidth, or local storage a decade later to host their own photos.

Just how many people are out there that uploaded to flickr / yahoo and then deleted their local copies of their photos? And how much pandering are they expecting?

"Here's a system I uploaded my most important memories to, but I only look at them every 6 months, and I didn't pay for their storage, but I'm confident that where I dumped them a decade ago will be where they'll stay forever."
That violates the "it just works" directive that designers and developers are working under. If it has to be configurable they view it as a design problem so instead they force you to use it the way they want it to look.

Maybe sell a code-like template of your app with a short tutorial for devs? If your own app trickled off on the market, its direct value is marginal now and clones will not hurt much while you get money from sharing knowledge & tricks.

中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平10月20日给“万企帮万村”行动中受表彰的民营企业家回信，对民营企业踊跃投身脱贫攻坚予以肯定，勉励广大民营企业家坚定发展信心，踏踏实实办好企业。习近平指出，改革开放40年来，民营企业蓬勃发展，民营经济从小到大、由弱变强，在稳定增长、促进创新、增加就业、改善民生等方面发挥了重要作用，成为推动经济社会发展的重要力量。民营经济的历史贡献不可磨灭，民营经济的地位作用不容置疑，任何否定、弱化民营经济的言论和做法都是错误的。习近平强调，支持民营企业发展，是党中央的一贯方针，这一点丝毫不会动摇。希望广大民营企业家把握时代大势，坚定发展信心，心无旁骛创新创造，踏踏实实办好企业，合力开创民营经济更加美好的明天，为实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦作出新的更大贡献。
Side note: I've never heard of Carlo, looks like an interesting alternative to Electron. Less monolithic, but requires Chrome to be installed already...
It's amazing that I would be having a random discussion and to check a fact, I would ask Google because Google Search Engine.

Google reads the answer in a natural human like way. It works well.

Countless dinner arguments arbitrated by Google via Google Voice by a simple ask. Shit saves marriages I bet.

"wtf you mean the Mongol Empire didn't last long? hold up, lets ask Google about the Crimean Khnate that still kicked ass up till the 17th century"

"i dont fucking believe you, i want a divorce"

"...ey google what year did Crimean Khanate close"

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Crimean Khanate was an important center of the slave trade. In 1774, it was released as a nationally independent state, following the Russo-Turkish Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca, and formally annexed by the Russian Empire in 1783, becoming the Taurida Governorate

"thank you Google for saving our marriage"

Your welcome.

I'm not sure that's a useful metric; in almost all architectures there's a "core" set which gets used the vast majority of the time in most programs, plus an increasing number of extensions for very specific purposes. You could start today on ARM with the top 20 instructions and get quite a long way.
I wouldn't recommend Patreon or anything similar in your situation. Basically you need to compare your app income to the additional work it takes to keep customers happy and buying. And at some point you might just as well open source it and move on...

It seems as if Donations don't work for most Open Source projects. Even when they do, it's often almost a B2B like relationship.
How Cloud Computing Enables Digital Transformation
I paid 32% on 36k (my first job as a junior dev). But I had no ruling because I studied there for 6 months.

To take issue with your premise… What indicates to you that they consider the job “done”? Every note/article around this has indicated that they consider the job started, but nowhere near done; they're just rolling the data out as it is ready enough (clearly “ready” is… Subjective here heh).
The European Capital with a Swastika Epidemic
I think the minimum browser changes over time, but without adding and removing features it's hard to discover what that minimum is.

For example, some form of add or at least popup blocking should be included, but that does not preclude useful addons from customizing the experience.

Bookmarking extensions need access to all webpages though. Only #3 would potentially show something suspicious.

Ask HN: Modern distributed sneakernet solution?
Groups working on sensitive software, valuable IP, or other high value targets could mitigate some of the risks of theft or compromise by taking development offline, as could developers and activists in nations that prohibit their activities. Is there a good off-the-shelf tool for people to use for this? There were some active projects around the time of the Snowden leaks but the ones I knew about seem to be dead.

My imagined solution would include some kind of indexing/search feature so users know what is available on the broader "network" (really just a list of files, timestamps, and hashes offered by other participants), as well as the ability to "request" files from users who may be more than a single hop away. Participants stay connected by periodically exchanging this index and request data with other members of the network, along with any files they have that have been requested.
Even then, targeting the most affected ones (those on free plans with more than, say, 900 photos) first is, I assume, a much simpler job that might save you from a bit of a public scrutiny and give those people an extra jiffy or two to act.
Working with Google Trends
Aha - I see you redacted your complaint about a personal email not arriving after onethumb responded in another thread saying much the same that I did (email takes time to send / propagate).
A generic <include> tag for text/hypertext could have been interesting, particularly if it could be used with link anchors. Although the potential for abuse when including remote content would obvious.

I think the flips side of this is that a great manager deflects most or all of the credit to the team.

Therefore the team works hard on things that will make the manager and the manager's managers look great in the woder scope of the company, and the manager says, correctly, that the team is responsible for the work.

I think this kind of manuevering is fundamental to large human organizations with scarce resources (you know, all of them) so the goal is to make it as healthy as possible.
Idk, on the job I was in at that point I worked my specified amount and then worked on developing my skills and education outside work. I watched as my boss’ project floundered, he ran out of budget for contractors, employees who were less weak started leaving and their positions not filled. As my boss started trying to tell me I needed to fulfill more of a “leadership role” I could tell he was trying to pass off a terrible project to me so I demurred. Anyway, I got laid off, got a big severance, got to continue educating and doing things like that while collecting unemployment as I applied for jobs after, and ended up getting basically a position at more or less my dream lab.

I understand it’s different if you’re older with kids and a mortgage or lot of health bills or whatever but I haven’t really felt like my fate has ever been tied to any of my employees.

I feel like it’s just headgames for your manager to try and convince you that making him look good is essential to your career.

Edit: in case this is relevant the shitty project was actually the best project in our department as far as I was concerned before my former manager ran it into the ground by trying to look good by promising dozens of features for people who didn’t use it instead of building something that worked and was extensible

Are you allowed to slander in the US? Are you allowed to publish Child pronography? Are you allowed to publish Obscene materials (as judged by the average citizen)? Are you allowed to utter words that might incite someone to fight you? [1] Some of it depends on state law, but the 1st amendment does not protect any of those [1].

Bottom line: No country has absolute freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is one of the basic liberties, and it's balanced against others. Different countries come to different conclusions on the balance. Generally speaking Germany tends more towards Freedom than the US according to comprehensive surveys [2].

Specifically When it comes to denying history, citing the US Supreme Court: "[There is] no constitutional value in false statements of fact".

Hopefully Facebook has reported the issue to Chrome and they will remove the extension. Maybe at that point you'll get a notification about an extension being blacklisted by your browser.
I don't see how that applies at all in this situation.
Secret to Success in Product Management
And the competitor isn't much better for map browsing without navigation. I've noticed now on Google Maps that some businesses just won't show up on the map, even at maximum zoom.

Google knows they're there because they do show up in a search, but that doesn't work if you don't remember the name. I saw a restaurant while walking, went to look it up later, knew it was somewhere on a particular street, and had to resort to Street View to find it. Luckily the last Street View picture was from just after the restaurant first opened.

Presumably these businesses haven't ever paid for advertising.

Apple Maps is no better in my area. It has a few popular places and one shop that was demolished in 2002.
I think the GO train in Ontario and MegaBus between cities may have taken a lot of the better routes from Greyhound too.
im seeing more ex-Apple users being woke after using Android. They've tasted endless hours of ad free Youtube + Youtube Music + Play Music. You can download songs to YM and what can I say, youtube has music you can't find anywhere.

It's convenient that while I'm driving I can interact with different apps like maps and switch to music or play it at the same time without touching the phone. Youtube Music lets me play any song I can think of in the car via mobile data.

I'm not clear on what exactly Apple services are, but it's not enticing to Android users to sacrifice access to the biggest video music media entertainment content on the web.

To me the Google products have become a tether to the Android platform, and Google Search combined with Google Voice is something you just can't do well if you are not Google and don't have near monopoly of those service sectors. Search, Streaming Music, Youtube (theres nothing of this sort from Apple). I just don't see how Apple can catch up now since Google has been winning this game forever.
Or Twin Peaks.

If you hold your knife in the right hand you hold the food item in your left. You then cut towards your right thumb, pinching the piece between your thumb and the knife as it comes loose. You can then bring the piece to your mouth with your right hand. As you do this, you turn hand such that the edge of the knife is downwards and the back of the knife is towards your face. The knife is horizontal and the point of the knife is towards your left.

That's hard to put in words but it's not hard to do at all.
I disagree, the US has plenty of restrictions on free speech, and the constitutional guarantees are no stronger there than in other places.

It's an image of itself that the US likes to project though.
The technical definition of suburb is often quite different from the colloquial definition. There are quite a few “cities” near me that most people would consider suburbs compared to the major metropolis I live by.

I would ask colloquially: how many Americans live in low density single family home zoned areas that require the usage of a car for commuting and access to various services? That’s my colloquial definition.

Thanks for sharing real world numbers. And congrats, sounds like you have a success on your hands (not every project needs to be a home run, and like you said, it's great to have it be a source of income rather than a drain).
Good points. I'll add that whenever I can do just server-side templating, it's so wonderful to have access to everything, from mature framework/language functionality to the entire database.

Whenever I do client-side stuff, I need to agonize over what libraries to pull in, and consider the api endpoints for data I need (and of course all sorts of security issues surrounding that).
Very interesting indeed! But those guys could use some cooking lesson for frying eggs... :-D
