I think he means relative to the size of America. Here's a map of all national parks, overlaid on a map of all publicly-owned land in the US:

https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/programs/public_lands/pr...

The big splotch in California is Death Valley. To the immediate west is Yosemite; southeast is Mojave; to the south is Joshua Tree. These are big areas: Death Valley is about the size of the 9-county Bay Area with 7.68M people, while Mojave is about the size of the Los Angeles Basin with 15.7M people. Nevertheless, they're tiny compared to BLM-managed lands, which basically includes the whole state of Nevada.
No, GDPR also enables this abuse. Because GDPR was the criticized one, not that govt.

Criticized for enabling this, for chilling effects on European startups, for solidifying the monopoly of huge web behemoths like Facebook and google, and for generally creating a shitty everyday browsing excperience.

All for the absolutely ZERO benefits GDPR brought so far...

We think knowledge is much complex than a simple linear note taking process (Evernote), but also needs (at times) simpler tool than a full fledged computing platform (Jupyter).

With amie one can enrich ones notes with whatever metadata one wants to track, we call them key value pairs, branch off whenever one is exploring parallel ideas and connect every piece of ones knowledge via references.

One can do it all via a Gui, just like in Evernote, but also via our python client giving the user full flexibility.

While we have a lot of visual features coming to make the note taking part neater, we won't support a fully featured markdown-like input for text entry in the near future tho.

Let us know if you can use it to build your personal knowledge base, we think you're going to love amie!

These are exactly all the promises of the sandboxed JVM running in a browser, probably with 10-20x performance deficit to account for JavaScript vs java.
I think that after about 20 years we all know why that kind of “security” model failed.
I’m actually quite stunned seeing that you are running code from thousands of different websites in the same process.
The only game changing part that I can see is giving a huge incentive to a lot of not so good people to try to break the sandbox.
And I was hoping that after the intel spectre debacle we were finally going to move in the right direction...
Apparently we are still going in the wrong one.
I really hope that I misunderstood everything and that you are not really running code from thousands of different websites in the same process.

I suspect it's "improvements" in storage that are to blame. All Granny Smiths are clones from the same tree, and they were grown successfully in many different places, so I don't think climate is the problem. Probably it's some new storage technique that lets them keep longer without rotting, at the expense of taste/texture. I see problems with bananas too that I think have the same cause, where they turn directly from green to brown, and I don't remember that happening ten years ago.
Ad tech and it's supporting industries? Yes
I also endorse writing the "password when passwords don't matter" on the side of the machine. ISPs have been doing it with their gateway modems for years, and I've never heard of any threat model that calls that out as a problem.
I've been closely following CF Workers and have KV beta access, but the mere fact that we had to ask and wait for access to KV essentially made our decision for us to not use workers.

When will KV be out of beta? It's hard to commit to a platform like CF Workers when it's obviously still not intended for mainstream usage and there is no public timeline.

I hate this line of reasoning that not accepting "contrarian" ideas is narrow minded, because while it's not wrong, 90% of the time it's used to justify believing the earth is flat, vaccines cause autism, and climate change is untrue. What's that, you don't like my ignorance? Ah well, then you're part of the narrow minded blind elite for not accepting contrarian thought!
In that case just deep six the app and let everyone use the website. Surely running just a website and a mobile website has to be less work than running a website, a half functioning purposefully neutered mobile website, and and app. They're user hostile, so slimy or not, fuck 'em.
Both the US and Canadian park services are funded by a combination of federal funds and user fees.

A Parks Canada Discovery pass costs $67 CDN and is equivalent to the $80 USD America the Beautiful pass in the states.

Many parts of Banff, Jasper, and Garibaldi National Parks are quite manicured, with plenty of fences and visitor trails.

There are 30 million people in California. There are 30 million people in Canada. If all of Canada's people lived in Alberta then visiting the core of Banff would be like visiting the core of Yosemite. Very, very crowded.

The purpose of encouraging people to visit national parks via advertising is to get people to connect with nature and want to preserve it. There's tons of unpopulated parkland in the US but the very touristy areas are busy because that's the design. Concentrate visitors here, let them see some mountains safely, don't disturb too many animals by letting people just roam around in ATVs.
Hammer, meet nail. This right here is likely the true reason. Also, it's easier to access stuff like location history.
All of this serverless stuff looks great in theory, but I'm struggling to understand what the development environment looks like. Does every change in testing get deployed to zeit? That seems cumbersome. Otherwise, is there a nice way to test this stuff locally? (Also, how would one set up a database? On a separate service?)

Flash did use JavaScript. More precisely, ActionScript, which is the abandoned JavaScript 4 with classes etc. very much like Java. What Flash had was a usable scene graph + synced audio, though, rather than half-arsed attempts to use the DOM/CSS, canvas (immediate mode 2D), undermaintained SVG, or WebGL. I wonder why we were so fast to kill Flash (myself included); maybe it would have been worth to try and open-up Flash. Many, many more designers could author Flash and create valuable content compared to the schizophrenic web stack we have today.
Second the Emigrant Wilderness — you can basically always get a permit when Yosemite is full and it has many of the same ecosystems. And fewer, nicer bears.
This law was crappy from the beginning and plenty of people said so.

It protects the massive corporate interests while encumbering startups and offering governments another way to abuse people.

All that while bringing ZERO benefits. Please tell me ONE way my life is better since GDPR. It's been a little while, after all.
I'm thinking a lot of their recent success may have to do with Lisa Su becoming their CEO back in 2014. She seems really smart and focused on their core business. I hope some of this success on the CPU market will bleed over to their GPU developments.
Yes, you could fit one m.2 SSD slot into a Mac Mini.

But anyone who has a serious professional need for large storage (e.g. video editors), probably doesn't just want 2x-4x the internal storage, with the same bus-factor-of-1 fault-tolerance. No, they probably need either a Thunderbolt RAID array (that they can put into RAID5/6/10), or a SAN. And neither of those fit in a Mac Mini.

(Though, a Thunderbolt RAID array of m.2 SSDs might fit in a Mac Mini-sized enclosure. Does anyone sell that?)
Have you tried Envy apples? I like them a bit more than Pink Lady or Honeycrisp, though they're all pretty tasty.

They can be a bit hard to find. Here in Toronto I've only seen Envys from New Zealand. They grow a decent number of them in Washington, though, and since you're right next door in Oregon maybe your grocery store will have some of those.
Things are grim in Ontario as well, the ministry of health is trying to centralize EHRs (rather than do the sensible thing Alberta's chose: a standard viewer application mapped on a distributed records system), and they don't give one solitary fuck about the data integrity or privacy outcomes their effort has (ask anyone involved, and they'll tell you it's somebody else's job).

No sympathy for them but Google completely trust-fucked them and the DOJ is too incompetent to care.
I’ve found that going down the path of being outraged at large fractions of society, such as industries / politics / belief systems, is extremely tiresome and makes you permanently angry at the world. More nuance can give you a healthier outlook, or you risk forever throwing rocks at a mountain.

Oh, I am in favor of bidding systems for access to everything, but especially for government held, "public" resources.

Such systems would point out things people find valuable and encourage entrepreneurs and markets to create and offer alternatives.

I am still interested in hearing why this is such a bad idea (other than not being a very popular one, of course).

Come on. If you're going to a national park you're probably driving a significant distance, often flying, etc. The $20 or so admission fee is not remotely keeping anyone who would otherwise go to a national park from doing so. Maybe there's some weird corner case somewhere but it's reasonable to assume it's vanishingly rare.

ADDED: And to be clear, I'm also strongly opposed to raising prices as a way to use market forces to depress use.
yup, Silicon Valley is a hivemind of people patting themselves on the backs as being intellectual contrarians. If you want to see what happens when someone with actual contrarian thought voices their opinion, see James Damore or Peter thiel and how fast they were excommunicated for their heresy.
Couldn't you start a small for-profit uni that uses all the tactics described in the article to recruit students, but then pay teachers to deliver a high quality, practical education?

You'd get all the benefits of the loan lock-in. Your grads would have a higher likelihood of getting a decent paying job that would pay back the loan in a shorter time. Then you could aim your collections aholes at your dropouts and use the loan lock-in as leverage-- either they keep getting their part-time wage garnished or they finish the program so they can get a higher paying job.
It's an interesting look at the vagaries of the apple-growing business. Not sure why you're reading it as a sob story.
Yep. In CA this means they make sure you aren't going to do something with fire and are prepared for bears. Many places don't charge for the permit — they just fine you a handsome sum if you don't have one.
No legislation (really, 'no additional legislation' - we're not starting from zero, nor is anarchy desirable) has as much consequence and is not qualitatively different than a little or a lot of legislation; there are downsides and unintended consequences to every option. There is still political and economic power to be had and which is exercised. The question is, do we want that power to be controlled democratically or to be arbitrarily exercised by the most powerful?

The latter is often appropriate; people should be free to do what they want unless others are affected significantly. But when it comes to privacy and freedom of speech, I don't think so.

>AMD squirreled away that advantage by not following up, and having other issues with later spins of the Opterons.

AMD didn't squirrel away the advantage. Intel abused their monopoly to starve out AMD by giving OEMs discounts if they agreed not to carry AMD chips. They paid a paltry 1.5B in fines for abusing their market dominance.
taking out the cost of the workforce (R&D, sales, associated GnA) working on revenue generation, ie. ads, analytics, etc. i'd suppose the rest of the costs of a typical Web2.0 site (like Twitter, FB, Reddit) comes down to basically hosting only and isn't that high - can probably be easily covered by donations. Or a real example - without meaningful monetization and thus related costs, WhatApp was fine with 55 employees serving $19B worth of user engagement.
Good point. I imagine something like vim's "folding" feature could be used to interactively navigate source code with a screen reader by successively opening the folds of interest.

I just visited a country without Yelp and really missed it. Google reviews were quite active, and I was pretty impressed with automatic translations into English, but Yelp would have been a helpful tool I'm used to as well.
I've backed like 5 projects on kickstarter and one on indiegogo. As a consumer, I very much look at a project on indiegogo and wonder why it is there and not kickstarter. I don't do the opposite.

Reading the article I'm reminded of the old Avis campaign: We're number 2. We try harder. Indiegogo does more for creators because they have to and Kickstarter doesn't. So I guess the takeaway from this is that Indiegogo is putting up the good fight to stick around. Hopefully it works out for them and the consumers.
the declaration of independence has no legal authority. that's just a tactic politicians use to make their voters feel safe about their rights being violated.
That will take several years. AMD could happen in months.
I would think that the use cases for a laptop CPU and high end desktop may call for different CPU's. Plus the X64 arch is well supported by all of the apps you would use a MacPro for.
Microcode is necessary to decode instructions. When you give the CPU instructions, it decodes them into microcode which is what actually specifies the sequence of electrical operations required to process that instruction.
One of the fundamental truths behind any innovation is it breaks at least one 'sacred' belief of the last generation. The JVM was not a technology built for this kind of multi-tenancy, it was bolted on later.

V8 is one of the most well tested and secured pieces of software in existance, and that it has a much smaller surface area than the Linux process isolation you're referring to.

The cooling down time is usually only 15 minutes though, especially if you can plug into power and use the active cooling at full blast (would require software modification).
The pure white screen has a certain aesthetic appeal, but the total lack of content puts it considerably below the original. (I assume this must be an intended effect, given the complete absence of error messages.)
I know nothing about ML and not very much about finance, but I find it incredibly unlikely that some random guy on Medium has an algorithm that can be used to accurately predict the market. Why isn't he hilariously rich?
It's on the device. I assume there must be some overhead, but devices like the S9 are several times more powerful than the RasPi, which can already handle software pretty decently.

You aren't paying for Workers for the CPU time IMO, you're paying to be in 155 locations around the world so that your code runs closer to your user. You couldn't split a hetzner/ec2 box across locations like that. A lot can be accomplished in 10ms on Workers in my experience since they don't count waiting on network requests as part of that 10ms.

If requests only require <10ms of CPU anyway, $5 per 10 million requests is pretty reasonable to me.

> The data exists in at least four different legal regimes.

Doesn't redundancy have a negative effect in this scenario? I would think four legal regimes would very approximately quadruple exposure. If they can't get you in one regime, they'll get you in another.
Hi! I work on KV at Cloudflare. Thank you so much for your interest in it, and for considering Workers at all. I'm pretty convinced if you keep considering it when situations allow, you'll choose it eventually when the moment is right for the product and your company.

I'm happy to give you beta access for you to experiment. That said, we take the distinction between a beta and GA very seriously. We don't want you relying on software we're not, at the very least, using in production ourselves.

That day will come very soon! We're moving several projects into KV (allowing us to move them out of centralized data centers), and we expect KV to track GA in the next few months.
> they're referring to the many cases of fraud on the scale of billions of dollars that result in no jail time for the people involved

Yes, this exactly is what I meant. Laws are written and passed that legalize what would otherwise be criminal conduct, and on the other side, the SEC will simply levy fines on fraud and no-one goes to jail [1].

Usually the fines, even if it's millions, is just a blimp on the quarterly profits of the wall street entity in question.

> BNP used a network of banks in the Middle East, Europe and Africa with their own clearing codes to mask dollar-based transfers connected to Sudanese companies. Employees also removed information from wire transfers that could have revealed the identity of the countries blacklisted by the United States, according to the complaint.

Source: France’s BNP Paribas to pay $8.9 billion to U.S. for sanctions violations => https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/frances-bnp-...

In this case, BNP Paribas officials at the highest level were involved in laundering money for the Sudanese Government, directly working with Govt officials. This directly translated to funding genocide in the South Sudan war (by way of the Sudanese Govt purchasing weapons and killing people). Yet not a single person went to jail from BNP Paribas. The fine they paid is nothing compared to what they make in yearly profits.
