>"Rust has quickly become the best language for integrating with existing web applications."

In what senses? Interested to know, being both a CLI and a web dev guy, and not having looked much into either Rust or wasm yet (read a little of the Rust book, only, recently).
My Econ game isn't as strong as it used to be, and this is by no means financial advice, just some spitballing...

I'd guess interest rates will rise, hopefully not like they did in the 80s, but I think Trump has been running the economy too hot... meaning inflation and your payments will go up. We want people to save (invest) not spend (consume) to fix this upcoming case (if I understand it correctly). As a result, I doubt lending will freeze since interest rates are likely to rise so getting a loan really shouldn't be too difficult if you've got good credit and a downpayment...

To be honest, I'd say it likely won't matter as recessions of some kind are fairly common and generally relatively benign with even moderately good economic policies. I highly doubt we'll see anything like the 2008 recession...

I have never run a campaign on Indiegogo.
Maybe I don't understand all of the issues, but I'm gonna be as straightforward as I can: if you are a messaging platform doing explicit business in Australia under these rules, we have to assume you have or are willing to backdoor your software. It is a reasonable assumption that it will be hidden and that the backdoor is general enough for use outside of Australia (even if you don't explicitly deploy/enable it elsewhere, you wrote it, it exists). Therefore, if you do explicit business under these rules I have to assume you are compromised or are willing to be compromised.
The Wikipedia article [1] is reasonably thorough. It was a licensed System V with some BSD features (and Apple UI, etc.) added. (Most of the Unixes of that era mixed System V and BSD together to various degrees.) According to the linked article, it ran a few MacOS apps but not many.

I actually have an A/UX coffee mug on my shelf complete with a phone number to call for more information (no URL or email :-))

If you could know a recession was inevitable some time soon from publicly available information then that recession wouldn't happen in the predicted time frame. Everybody would see it coming, take their money out of the market, and it would happen instantly.
If people here really knew whether or not that was a good idea we would be billionaire rock-star investors. Trying to time the market is a fools errand for most folks.

Well no offense but until you submit your legal proposal to the SEC and get their opinion...any claim about “SEC compliance” is suspect. Again you may very well may have done what you say, but if anyone had developed a legal framework, it’s unexplainable why they wouldn’t get the SEC to confirm the same.

The SEC created an entire division and online submission portal to handle these requests, and to date no one has established a legal framework for ICOs (short of registering the token as a security, or accredited investor only exemptions). Congress has even asked the SEC to publish guidelines for a legal ICO, and to date the SEC hasn’t (likely because short of registering/accredited investor exemptions/transfer restriction the SEC can’t come up with a legal framework).
Yeah the mattress industry is a great example of another industry where cloud is overrated. :)
In Palo Alto, we have been seeing softening real estate prices for a month or two. My guess is that sellers are concerned that tech stocks will tank (as they have) and that potential buyers will dry up. I am personally waiting on the sidelines to trade up because I'd rather sell for less and buy for less in order to lock in the lower property tax rates. Most realtors I've spoken with seem to think a pause/dip in Palo Alto area real estate is inevitable in the next 6-12 months, and we're starting to see it already.
Uber's international focus hasn't been entirely successful, and I guess its more of a money drain as well. Why Lyft is ready for an IPO before Uber could have to do with them focusing on making US market profitable instead. Uber has a much steeper hill to climb (even if the summit is higher).
A lot of people I know who use Sublime never paid. In fact, I don't know anyone who paid for it IRL except myself.

If you don't pay, you only get a nag screen from time to time as you save. And cracks most likely exist if you want to get rid of it without paying.

BTW, I still use Sublime Text. I gave a try to VS Code and it is really great. It has most of the things that made me switch to Sublime (from Emacs), plus some more. The issue I had was performance. Sublime is generally more responsive for me, with less subsecond but still noticeable pauses.
Qualcomm announces Snapdragon 8cx, an ‘extreme’ processor for Windows laptops
A handful of IPOs won't stave off a recession. (It's entirely possible to cancel an IPO, too.)

If I were a big pre-IPO company, I'd probably want to go IPO before the recession, in order to get operating capital to survive it.
>I think it makes sense, since broadband internet is relatively expensive compared to other utilities that are more necessary.

An internet connection isn't regulated as a utility. As far as the law is concerned, the internet is a luxury item so access/quality/cost is set by the market. Telephone companies (or I should say, company: Bell) operated in much the same way 100 years ago until state utility commissions started to regulate them as utilities and cap the price they could charge for local calls. Since the state had no jurisdiction over long-distance charges, those prices skyrocketed to make up the difference. In the 80's the DOJ finally wrapped up the antitrust case against "Ma Bell" that broke the company into several smaller phone service providers. With a lot of competing operators the prices were reasonable. More importantly, while telephone service was regulated as a utility the state utility commissions had largely required Bell to wire rural areas for service the same as they had wired cities.
Wow how weird. I really trusted Gabriel Weinberg with that name he has
I think it's interesting to note that those companies were born out of a recession, and their IPOs could mark the end of a boom.

Off-the-cuff reaction to the question in the article title is that the author is not important enough to be worried (saying that respectfully, not to be a dick).

I definitely wouldn't go if I were Tim Cook or Zuck or someone like that.

Will be interesting/scary to see what China does in response.
Your italicized paragraph is a good clue.

I started a reply which was getting too long and technical, with the aim of looking at three prongs. Post-Newtonian elements are at work, and it is easy to fool oneself thinking of the underlying one: metric gravitation and how it manifests within extended objects. (It does; we can see that from the figure of the Earth and its internal structure, and from other roundish celestial bodies.) Where self-fooling is easiest is in thinking (1) in terms of forces, (2) using too large a set of local coordinates or inappropriate coordinates, and (3) studying an object that extends beyond the boundaries of "local".

I have some things to do but will return to your comment and its parent in a few hours with a more detailed comment that hopefully won't stray off into the weeds of technicalities. :D
Signal would have to find a way to send a special app to you which does not encrypt or specially encrypts in order to funnel data to AU government. If it does not, it becomes illegal. Considering signal warns people if the key changes, it probably means Signal is now illegal as it might be physically/mathematically impossible to satisfy the law.

Secure communication is now illegal in Australia.

Depends on the area. Like here in Portland prices were already way lower than surrounding areas so prices have increased a lot over the last couple years. It's been a shock to people that are in their little bubble and don't realize it's still cheaper than Seattle, SF, LA.
It isn't, and it's better because of that.

All "advanced" features should be a plugin so you can pick your favorites. This way, if someone comes up with a better multi-cursor system, there's no politics involved about which multi-cursor system to come to a global consensus on. Just switch your personal config over to the new plugin and get on with your life.
Though, I wonder if we should continue to track this. If you're not using broadband yet, it's most likely that a mobile device meets all of your needs.

Tesla provides a 10 year warranty for their stationary energy storage systems. I have seen a bunch of articles claiming that Tesla projects a ~15 year lifespan but have yet to find any actual statement from Tesla. Ultimately lithium ion lifespan is hugely dependent on temperature, depth of discharge, and number of charge cycles so there is potentially a lot of variance depending on use case and local climate.

Exactly. Every market correct feels like it's going to be the big one as its happening, and most of them pass.. By the time people start to feel like maybe it's over, market levels are usually well off the bottom and so everybody who wanted to "wait on the sidelines" miss their chance..

I don't have any specific wear numbers, but a system like this is going to be designed for maximum lifespan not for limited cases where you want every possible drop of energy that can be put into or out of the battery. I suspect that the cells are never charged above about 75-80% of capacity and probably are never discharged below 20-30% of capacity. Avoiding both extremes should greatly extend the number of available cycles from hundreds to thousands or more.
It can run some. The Finder is basically System 7.0, with all that implies. Some CDEVs and INITs will work in it, and some others will not only not work but (from personal experience) make it impossible to bring up the Mac side. Some Mac apps will balk at what's missing from the OS or are used to playing fast and loose in ways A/UX will prohibit.

That said, it is remarkable how the two sides work together. It's not a perfect union because X apps still have to come up in a dedicated X server which runs on the Mac side, so even graphical apps don't come together seamlessly. But even within its limitations it presents a compelling illusion of a unified whole and Commando is a great way to discover command line options.

there's inverse ETF's. SPXS is a leveraged "bear fund" that gains value as the S&P500 decreases in value. SPXS is particular will move 3X the movement of the S&P500 so a loss of 1% in the market is a gain of 3% in SPXS.

SPXS has been an awful fund to hold since 2009.
That's not the only upside. It also provides liquidity to the employees you pay in equity, which is worth a lot.

It's more than charging. It's cell monitoring, cooling, protection systems. EV Battery packs are complicated.
I always like these kind of plots. Is there an explanation why in the last week the energy price went negative last week in SA but they kept running gas turbines? Is that due to insufficient capacity in part of the net or some special kind of long term contracts or? I have encountered this before but its sometimes claimed that gas power can be modulated within minutes why not here, especially since they very likely where aware of the negative prices well in advance.
While this is true, these battery solutions tend to offset the much larger externalities of the fossil-fuel based technologies they help make redundant.

The li-ion externalities is mostly incurred once when mining. Although it's still in it's infancy, recycling li-ion batteries is already possible, and supposedly profitable. Especially when you can get an enormous batch of cells of exactly the same model as you would with this project.

The biggest problem in recycling li-ion batteries is that you may need different processes for different cells, so you need to sort them first.

Not refuting that a recession is coming, just that it won't be in 2019.
Google forked Blink off of WebKit because they couldn't dictate the pace. I highly doubt that Microsoft is going to have much of a voice in the matter.

I imagine they'll appreciate Microsoft essentially making Chrome work better within Windows, but that's about it. They'll accept pull requests, but doubt they'll give up much of anything in the way of control.
They can only compel companies within (incorporated in?) Australia is my understanding, not foreign companies. This is a sad day for a government going out of control; I didn't elect representatives to be this over-reaching or to ignore the wishes of the people like this; again under that old chestnut guise of "Terror!". Doesn't even need a warrant, just a nod from an ex-magistrate, and I'm sure the right ones can always be found.

But I suspect this'll be a testbed for the other Five Eyes; if the public don't make a big noise, I'd expect to see this in the UK, US, NZ and Canada etc pretty soon.
Things that keep me up at night as a software contractor/freelancer: if there's a recession, are contractors the first to go? One counter-argument is that contractors can be a cheaper way for companies to build products (since it's not full time), which might mean companies favor contractors. On the other hand, companies who are reluctant to lay off full-time staff may start by canceling contract relationships.

While the last couple of days have been particularly painful for me in the market, CNBC, Bloomberg, and financial news networks are the biggest pusher of fear out there. Fear sells, and they peddle fear better than anybody.

It's hard to buy, or even not sell during the last couple of weeks, but I'll reiterate a quote by Warren Buffet:

"Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful."
> How can something "suggest" a recession is "unavoidable." If its a suggestion, then by definition it isn't unavoidable.

Nonsense.

Say I have a coin that I suspect has heads on both sides. Instead of just checking the coin, I flip it ten times in a row and check the result -- ten heads. "Coin flips suggest 'heads' unavoidable."

The article is saying there is some situation in which a recession is unavoidable, and signs point to us being in that situation.
And OS/2.
No, it's not on multiple fronts. Copland failed internally before it ever hit the market (i.e. it was never generally released.) Sure, the NeXT acquisition was the final nail in the coffin for it, but it had failed long before that. Part of the reason for the NeXT acquisition was that Copland was such a mess. It could be argued whether NeXT or Be was the better option, but Apple desperately needed to buy an OS... because Apple didn't have something that was going to ship.
I've started using VSCode for git push/pull/branch and staging. This is what I use git for 99% of the time anyways and since they are simple commands, triggering them from VSCode is faster than falling back to CLI.

Staging/diffing is especially convenient with VSCode. `git add -p` used to be my most-used command, but VSCode just makes the process easier.
Recessions are a necessary part of the business cycle. A lot of people would argue that global central banks have gone too far trying to avoid a recession and thus the next recession will be particularly brutal.

Like laws designed to encourage forest growth, when the fire eventually comes it burns far brighter than the fire that burns in a forest left alone.

My hypothetical ability to predict the future does not mean that you're able to do the same.
Before we assume that this is "a high stakes game of geopolitical poker to divert from Mueller", as the author suggests, let's see exactly what a C-level executive of one of the world's largest tech companies allegedly offered to the Iranians and for what purpose. Hypothetically, for all we know she was offering to use the company to launder money made from selling nuclear weapons tech on the black market.

It's not only possible, but likely, that this arrest was the result of months of covert work put in by DOJ and State Department officials, and is the result of a legitimate investigation.
Because the tipping culture to me doesn't make sense? Not everyone is from NA, where it is mandatory to tip. I would rather pay more to Uber upfront and have them pay more to drivers than me paying extra on top.

Also, who says Uber drivers are getting stiffed? One of my really good friend does Uber full time in Toronto right now and takes home around $4.5k/month (before tax). He drives around 6 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Drive and Docs/Sheets make for an abomination.

Each one is good in isolation. But for a company whose primary user facing product is searching for things, Google sure haven't bothered to make the that work in drive. The search in GDrive is just plain atrocious.

At work we need to frequently ask someone working on a document or a set of documents to paste the sharing links, because GDrive's search will not surface the document or the drive folders you are looking for. Even with exact words or phrases.

And don't get me started on the latest incarnations of GSuite admin (slow) or Gmail (slower). But at least in those the search feature works.

That suggestion could be wrong, yes. But they're saying that there are indicators that even if everything was done right we still go into a recession.

And regardless, to your other point, if you always predict the opposite of the status quo, you'll eventually be right. That guy holding the sign saying "The End is Near", one day, he'll be right too.

So, yes, these articles are silly.
i agree. there is a selective bias going on. like businesses, most attempts fail.
PhpStorm is by far the best editor. The slowness is a huge issue.

For frontend sublime offers a nicer experience. VCode feels slightly off but I do want to move over because it's free.

For quick development vim is perfect. If you need to make single page changes on multiple remote sites nothing is faster than dreamweaver 8. The designer/code split was always great no editor ever implemented anything to match.
Fastmail users should be on notice with this legislation if they chose this service for privacy/security purposes.
