Will Gutenberg actually help Wordpress? I don't think so. Why? Most site owners aren't designers and don't do layout or content building well at all. Maybe I am short sighted on this though.

Much of my business has been replacing sites that run on Wordpress with my own CMS Archetype. Even though it lacks a lot of the power of mass of WP plugins, it makes up for it with simplicity of production and ease of use.

Some site owners want more control/power over layout building, and others would be overwhelmed by the extra features of Gutenberg.

Will Gutenberg become a core complaint of WP in the future? Maybe. The biggest complaints I've gotten about Wordpress are these:

1. Can't hand it off to clients to edit their own content, because it's too hard to learn. Or if you do train someone, it turns into a cycle of retraining. (though this seems to be Gutenberg's real target goal)

2. Updating is painful. Plugins break on a regular basis.

3. Security, WP sites get hacked alot. Think this is primarily because most WP sites aren't run by professionals, but individuals.

But also, #2 applies here, there's motivation to _not_ upgrade because of the possibility of breaking the site.

There are others, but Gutenberg would not solve these 3 largest problems with WP that I have run into.

I don’t understand this part. Where do we agree that?

> Alcohol hasn't been criminalized, but it has been regulated.

Yes, and that clearly isn't enough. That's my whole point. Alcohol is still killing tens of thousands of people. Way more than firearms do (apart from war).

> Regulation isn't a ban. It isn't suppressing a right. It's protecting the populace from those who bring harm, and themselves would be harmed, by access.

No kidding. You seem to assume that you're arguing with absolutist libertarian gun-nuts here. I'm all in favor of sensible regulation. I'm merely pushing back a bit on craigsmansion's brainless knee-jerk "But Sandy Hook!!!" reflex, which is as useless here as it is in similar debates over other dangers like drugs and alcohol.

The US is largely a country of immigrants, who in effect are risk takers. Even in times of war and famine, typically only a small percentage (approx 10%) of the population leave. In the past, our country may have taken the lion's share of immigrants compared to other nations.
If I moved to the US from the UK on an L1-B visa, how long does it typically take to be granted a green card? Can the process be started immediately?
To add to your points, the problem is not just missing good engineers because they don't study and play the game, but also hiring bad engineers because they study and play the game.

I personally know of people who habitually study FAANG interview questions, and make it their career to jump ship every few years for salary boosts. I've worked with some of these people; while they are nice and friendly folks and I consider some of them good friends of mine, they are much less-good engineers compared to many others I know, who stay in smaller startups and want to get things done and don't want to play the interview game.

This I would. The idea was a really good one... in the 70s. It has utterly failed to evolve since then. The implementation is actually pretty horrible. If you don't have a lot of familiarity with it it is undiscoverable, full of footguns, and consistency is an afterthought.

> The state cannot even manage Caltrain well

Yup. There are trains that go from San Diego up to San Fran, with transfers, mostly along the coast. It's so expensive to ride with EXISTING rail that it's running on subsidy.

Some of the comments on these multi-billion dollar scams are ridiculously positive for no apparent reason.

Funny you should mention them I was literally speaking to them this week :)

Protolabs is nothing special really.

The tech everyone uses for 3D printing, for quick turnaround injection moulding ... it's mostly the same old stuff.

3D printing is only good for a few units, unless what your making is very small and very expensive.

Custom moulding is still a big leap - and if there are any iterations (and there will be) it's not cheap.

And all of the 'fine' stuff is still done by hand.

So I see 3 roadblocks:

1) Rapid iteration and availability of component parts
2) True cheap way to get from 10 to 20000 units i.e. before true mass production
3) 'programmable robot hands' i.e. a very easy to program robot arm/hands that is nimble enough to fold and cut fabric, assemble arbitrary things, wipe/clean surfaces.

Dunno if I just missed it in the paper, but is there an explanation for why alphazero is better at go than alphago zero?
Hindsight is always 20/20, but as an anecdote I can attest that in 200 (when I started my 9 year stint), optimism about China was much greater than the way it eventually turned out. Back then, China was opening up, most major foreign websites were still unblocked, a lot of foreigners thought they could actually make their futures there, and they were being egged on by the Chinese government and institutions in agreement.

Of course, the reality turned out to be way different, but back then everyone had already sunk their costs. BTW, not everyone in the article is from the US, Blue Frog for one thing is most definitely Australian (who else puts beets on their burgers?).
Sorry the late reply but I figured I owed an explanation.

I am a long-time user (~10 years.) When I wrote my original comment I had not smoked in a few days to try and cleanse my mind and body. Quitting for any period of time has never been a problem for me. I simply put it "out of sight and out of mind" and I've had no troubles. I cannot speak the same for everyone. Addiction affects everyone differently.

To directly answer your question, I have PAX3 I'm in love with and I tend to "microdose" with a hit here and there throughout the day. Sometimes I'll treat myself to a joint with a friend on the weekends but I tend to enjoy the small doses during the week a lot more as I can still be productive and have a more imaginative mind. I used to smoke everyday but I've since cut back. I don't feel any ill effects from doing so.

I don't smoke everyday anymore since taking a break and I've been filling the time with drinking more water, taking walks, and stepping away from the computer. As I mature in my career and in life, I find those are the things I enjoy more instead of "forcing" myself to be creative.

> China has done far more egregious transgression to be sanctioned for than Russia

Do you have any data to support this claim? Having just read Bill Browder's Red Notice I find that to be a questionable statement.
Logic and Fallacies: Constructing a Logical Argument (1997)
Off the top of my head:

Netmap - DPDK-like packet munging performance but with interfaces and semantics that behave more like traditional APIs. Signaling occurs through a pollable descriptor, meaning you can handle synchronization and work queueing problems much more like you would normally.

vmsplice - IIRC it recently became possible to be able to reliably detect when a page loan can be reclaimed, which is (or hopefully was) the biggest impediment to convenient use of vmsplice.

peeking - Until recently Linux poll/epoll didn't obey SO_RCVLOWAT, which made it problematic to peek at data before using splice() to shuttle data or dequeueing a connection request. I have a strong suspicion that before this fix many apps like SSL sniffers simply burnt CPU cycles without anybody realizing. Though in the Cloud age we seem much more tolerant of spurious, unreproducible latency and connectivity "glitches".

AIO - There's always activity around Linux's AIO interfaces. I don't keep track but there may have been a ring-buffer patch merged which allows dequeueing newly arrived events or data without having to poll for readiness first.

Device Passthru - CPU VM monitor extensions make it easier to work with devices directly. Not quite the same thing as traditional userspace/kernel interfaces, but it seems like people are increasingly running what otherwise look like (and implemented like) regular userpace apps within VM monitor frameworks. Like with Netmap all you really need is a singular notification primitive (possibly synthesized yourself) that allows you apply whatever model of concurrency you want--asynchronous, synchronous, or some combination--and in a way that is composable and friendly to regular userspace frameworks. VM monitor APIs and device pass thru permit arranging the burdens between userspace/VM and the kernel more optimally.
Regulate the sharing of FR galleries. Prevent the creation of giant FR galleries of consumers, students, residents or whatever blanket term. Additionally, require term limits on holding an image or "identity" in an FR gallery.
I failed to find a link to the tweet - best I could find just now is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12551652, so maybe he deleted it? - but at some point he tweeted that he'd left Apple because working at a big company wasn't really his bag.

So maybe the Google people didn't make the wrong decision after all.

It's a losing game. They will track you with your mask on from the moment you leave your house, your phone, your credit card, your gait, your car... It's like a super cookie, if you don't delete all the 10 places it was stored, a single missed one will be enough to regenerate it.

Total citizen surveillance is coming, everyone's location history will be in a database and kept for years, just like phone call metadata.
Dear Peter,
I'm on F-1 who didn't get picked in H1-B lottery twice, and am in the last 13 months of my STEM OPT.

Next year i.e 2019 April is my last shot at H1-B.

I work for an amazing start up that allows me to work remotely.

I'm hoping that my H1-B petition gets picked up in 2019 but in the event that that doesn't happend, as a back up what are my options if I want to continue to work for the same company and stay in the USA?

Thank you
Does anyone know of a similar service hosted in Canada?
Huh, thanks?

But that's a bit different from what we are doing.

We concentrate on hard numbers and privacy. You seem to focus on news and community. And it seems to me your API requires a login. Also, your homepage looks nice, but I don't find on it the information I want - cold hard number, graphs! However, I find plenty of stuff I do not want - like twits?? I don't want twitter or anyone else to track me.

Your site looks nice, but I think we have very different goals.
How do you research it though? Do you read reviews, watch videos or you search online for the technical manuals with all the details before you buy ?

The reviews and videos may not contain all the details you will get in the technical manual that you don't have before you get the car.
> Color model theory is similar to music theory, in the sense that both theories may just be a codification of familiar patterns. That doesn't mean they're not useful.

Color harmony might well be just a codification of familiar patterns. Musical harmony on the other hand is very different. While it certainly has some parts that are rooted in familiarity, especially when it comes to consonance and dissonance of certain intervalls, most of it has a strong physical and physiological basis.

Musical harmony is not purely subjective and this is well studied. Color harmony is not well studied at all and if there is and serious basis - except for historical use - has yet to be been. That’s why I don’t like the word harmony in connection with colors. It just gives the wrong impression.
A little OT: How do you use nightly? Do you have a cron job that downloads it? Do you download it every day? Do you only occasionally download it? Or is there some other way? I'd love to use it more but last I checked they didn't offer auto-updates to it.

Yes, I suppose. I still think this would have bipartisan support in congress as well as support from the public, regardless of affiliation.
Everything that he has been saying lately implies that they won't drop them. They may add other suppliers (especially for the factory in China), but they will likely always rely on suppliers for the cells themselves. I can't really think of a good reason for this to change.

After all, they are by far the world's largest consumer of batteries. They have leverage.
Many Americans believe that the meaning of China opening up their economy is that they can go there and dominate all industries they want. This may even be the case in some third-world countries, but China is way past the point that they need to bow to western countries. If you go to any other developed nation like France, Switzerland or Canada, you won't be able to do business as it pleases you, you need to follow the local political rules.

> Your web server should be configured

I think you underestimate the number of things on your network that run unconfigurable web servers.
(Also non-native English speaker) I feel the same way. I think that when I speak, my listener gives me cues (e.g., nodding or frowning) and I react to them: I reformulate if they seem confused or I keep going if they look satisfied. When I write, I don't have that immediate feedback, and I typically write more than is necessary. My writing suffers because it takes too long to convey ideas that are not confusing, but that I fear may be. The old adage "keep it simple, stupid" applies also to writing, and it's really hard.

By the way, I thought that this paragraph that you wrote was perfect, very easy to understand. If you write like this all the time, then don't worry: people will understand you.
This is how I know I would suck in a company like this. Yeah, it's Steve Jobs - but I find the level of reverence on show in this piece to be a little hard to take. It's certainly revealing of the culture there at the time.

> And when you can get the time for thoughtful reflection on your idea from a visionary like Steve — well, that’s a good day.

Being humble is one thing, but forcing yourself into this kind of fawning emotional servility feels dangerous to me. He was smart; he was lucky; he was a human, like anyone else. I don't think this level of hierarchy is something that I would seek to build at any of my startups, or would hope to support in a startup that I invested in or advised. It just feels unhealthy to me.
Then don't talk about it from a privacy angle; I use containers so I can be logged in to my home and work accounts at the same time.

The fact that you even mention that you get security updates "every morning" is an indication of how much work keeping a WordPress site secure can be.

I think it is just wordpress' ubiquiti that has made it a security issue though. Attackers are quick to build exploit bots the moment a new vulnerability is found and they scour the web for unpatched sites.

So if you don't stay on your toes, you will get pwned sooner or later with a wp site.

Some of them had probably expected that the laissez-faire attitude of the Chinese authorities that was noticeable up to the mid-2000s would continue indefinitely, but that turned out to be a bad bet. Once the Chinese authorities started to become more serious about things like environmental regulations or higher salaries (both these things mentioned in the article like something bad ?!) then many “napkin” business-plans turned to nothing. I really cannot feel any empathy for this type of investors.
I'm a high school computer science teacher (who has also taught middle and elementary school students) and would like to absolutely echo this.

As folks who are fairly proficient in programming, our scales for what constitutes as a "difficult task" can be wildly different from beginners to the field. They haven't built the knowledge, experience and mental representations to accurately determine whether something is hard or easy (case in point: my 9th graders will often propose final projects that would take a group of seasoned engineers months to complete).

After CS classes in college and working in the field, I kinda forgot about the initial setup barriers that I first encountered (and was much more patient to battle through); but after just teaching a single class of middle school students (a) not knowing how to properly install software and (b) as a result, getting into the state of "This is boring ... so I'm going to entertain myself by socializing, distracting my friends, or goofing around" I quickly realized how important it was for these kids' first experience with programming to be painless ... otherwise they would also make my life as a teacher a difficult one.

10 years ago, on the exact same hardware, running a Rails application test suite in a Linux VM through VirtualBox was nearly 2x faster than running natively on the Windows side of things.

No, I believe most gold-rush Westerners were actually looking to join up with established (or government-blessed) Chinese businesses and help them introduce their businesses back to the West and help there - such as marketing Huawei or Xiaomi to Americans for example, or working with government lobbyists on pro-China PR campaigns.
Hi,
I’ve re-discovered GTD recently and I’m blown away by the depth of the book and the possibilities it has opened for me. I’ve got a few people interested and started on GTD. I’m yet to finish my first weekly review, but that’s not my point...

I’d like to ask you to share more info about those other things you’ve mentioned, because if you consider GTD valuable, then I’d like to know about what else have you benefited from and why.

I know about the 5 second rule. I’ve read the book.

Thank you.

P.s. it was weird finding only one comment about GTD.
