I always thought that the early promise of the internet was built on a lie: decentralized and anonymous. The architecture never really was, it's just that the technology at the time and costs involved made it seem believable. Now data storage is dirt cheap, AI is good enough to connect the dots, identities are consolidated within major social networks, search history tracked, and smart phones owned by most. I think it's just a matter of time before 1984 becomes prophetic.

Thanks for the article, interesting read!

In 2016, AUS airport a colleague and I at the gate offered our seats for a later flight and ~$500 cash. The helpful attendant starts "searching" for a possible double-ticket in their system, to my biggest surprise, not really using the mouse but just typing, like "hackers" in movies.

At one point she tells us disappointed she couldn't find anything, and turns the monitor to show it to us. Both working in IT, we look at the screen totally astonished: 80x25, white-on-blue, looks like a hex editor (pairs of letters clustered), and the lady continues to type in commands, with the speed of how people play candy crush nowadays, not how a flight attendant would use a CLI :-D

Since then I know what GDS is and how it looks like
My experience in Seattle is different. Almost every house or condo in the east side or Seattle is a million plus, and it's really common to put 500k toward one, and pay a substantial mortgage (more than half a mil). So these can be lost with reduction in value combined with a short term mortgage that needs to refinanced, like happened in 2008. If you are a software engineering with 5-10 years experience and a family looking for a house you are in this game probably. These people have a good job but they don't need and often don't have money to cover the rest of their house.

I agree with the comment about lack of density in housing leads to these prices (cause people keep freaking moving here). And the point about not much housing being built for people leaving in smaller apartments like 500 sq ft in the dense area applies here. There seems to be mostly refurbished old housing in that range. I guess developers don't think there's a market for that (single person?) or they can't make money or both.

I think we need all these kinds of housing (higher density, also smaller places closer to work and transit). People don't priotize transit enough in purchases I think, but of course you can only buy what's built in condos.
Ok, my understanding was that (again, I’m not lawyer, this is not legal advice!), if there is a two-year home residency requirement on the J-1 holder’s visa, then both J-1 and J-2 holders cannot switch to another visa before you have either (a) resided for two years in the country of residence, or (b) were granted a Section 212(e) waiver approved by USCIS. But perhaps that’s different for some J-1 categories.
I agree with you. Libgen is extremely valuable for everybody, not only for people who cannot buy the book. If I need a reference that appears in some obscure math book that is not in the library of my university, I can buy it and read it after a few days (or weeks), or I can ask my library to command it from another library and wait a few weeks, or I can just download it from libgen and look at the proof after a few seconds.

I actually proposed the administration of my lab to stop paying all silly online journal subscriptions and give half of the money to libgen and the other half to scihub. Everybody seemed to mostly agree, but in the end there are "high level" influences that block this kind of things.

I also think that it is perfectly moral and ethical to share a file that you have on your computer with other people, regardless of the opinion of the author of the file.

My only concern is that, if my main goal is to convince an author (who is already sharing a large part of his work) to publish the whole thing, it may not be the best idea to start by uploading his file to libgen. The fact that it is on libgen will not make me buy it in hard-copy. But if he puts the .tex sources online, then I will buy it.
I usually find extensibility a kind of Turing-tarpit of distraction. You download extensions, try to configure them, get a good flow through them, etc. You have to try extensions, find good ones, and replace them as old ones stop getting maintained. You have to upgrade extensions, deal with breakages, and so on. They frequently don't have the same quality as the core, and bring their own bugs/problems along. When I have extensibility, I mostly try not to use it.

Mostly, I'll take something that packs a decent amount of what I'd want into a first-party integrated package and live with it. On the other hand, I don't mind opening a terminal and doing an in-place transformation on a file with perl, or opening vim/vi on a file, doing something, saving it, and coming back to my original editor to say "yep, load those changes from disk."

Syntax highlighting seems overrated to me. I haven't really felt any functional difference in how well I parse things either way.

TL;DR; Van Halen was one of the first "arena rock" bands. Their operation was industrial scale with equipment carried on multiple semis and such.

They still had to deal with the heterogeneous set of arenas that existed around the country and to do so, they laid their requirements very carefully in a contract - important things like how much weight the stage had to be able to take. But how to tell immediately whether someone had read the contract in detail when they arrived as a given venue? Ah, put a random but visible requirement right in the middle of the contract.

I said there was an obvious relationship between some of the underpinnings of Dianetics and what is described in this article.

This is patently obvious to anyone who's read Dianetics, and the article.

I don't support Dianetics overall as anything reasonable because it's mostly rubbish, but again, some of the ideas expressed in there are nary identical to what is described in the article, which is just a fact.

Not everything is black and white: a lot of current psychology is scientifically rubbish, and a lot of ideas postulated in the past by not-so-straight people are at least interesting, and may have shades of validity.

Jira used to be hip and all, being written in Java helped with early adoption but these days it is a monster and reminds of me HP QC monstrosity - which is exactly why we moved off HP to Jira long time ago.
The more these things try to be, the worse they seem to fail at the basics. We desperately need more solid basics in our everyday tools.

I want JIRA to just load and display the simplest of content, and it often doesn’t. There is no way to predict when Unexpected Server Lag will occur either. If you believe Murphy’s Law, it’ll happen exactly when I finished typing a long-ish important update to a bug that then won’t submit (and like too many web tools, you’re screwed at that point: there’s no sensible way to “stop” it and you’re 90% sure that “Back” will erase everything you just wrote).
I don't know Canadian law, but Huawei did not break laws it is bound by. The US cannot require people and organizations in other countries to apply international sanctions it wishes to apply. China is committed to the JCPOA, Huawei is a Chinese company and it is ridiculous - and legally baseless, AFAICT - to demand otherwise.

... which means Canada should not have honored the request to arrest.
In vipassana meditation the meditator focuses on sensations on the body from head to toe, systematically moving down top to bottom and noticing the sensations in each part - head, eyes, ears, nose, shoulders etc. when thoughts arise you notice the sensations they create and over time you develop a map of thoughts to sensations. as you meditate some past traumatic experiences may arise and you may start to mentally react to it, but you notice that thinking about that particular insult from the past may just be causing this discofmrting sensation in some part of the body and you are reacting to the discmfort/pain caused by that. by training your mind to maintain equanimity, you realize that all these thoughts are doing is creating a sensation and causing you to react, and over time you can become a little more detached to it. what is weird though about these sensations though is that there might be these knots tied up in your chest, and by focusing on the pain of these knots you start to release a lot of old memories that caused you some kind of pain in the past. the pain of those memories are stored as sensations in the body. if your in a bad situation in your life mentally and psychologically it will absolutely manifest itself in terms of physical symptoms. additionally I have found that the combination of meditation and any kind of drugs - marijuana or psychedelics can cause of a lot of that trauma to be released.
Incremental computation can be useful for better responsiveness even if you only have one thread. A simple example in JavaScript would be a Mandelbrot viewer, where you don't want to lock up the UI doing a heavy computation. So, you could have something that looks like an async call that really does the heavy computation in small chunks using idle callbacks, and the future completes when it'd done. (Using a background worker thread is probably better though.)

The async call itself doesn't return intermediate results, though, so you'd have to handle that a different way. And if you want to cancel the task, you need another way to handle that too.

Something like computing the digits of pi would be better represented by a stream or iterator since the caller should decide when it's done.
Isn't this a product of the agile method though, and jira simply instantiates it? the whole epic -> story -> subtask methodology seems to be a large part of the article's complaint, but that's really not jira's fault.

These anecdotes really just mean Amazon is in the same position as Walmart and Amtrak - serving the underclass, not as a deliberate specialty - but because it's the lowest common denominator and they've fallen through the cracks everywhere else.

Just because OP themselves cannot fathom checking other (more appropriate) vendors first or doing independent product research, does not mean that it's impossible. If I had family members addicted to Amazon in this way, I'd be worried about them being blatantly ripped off from Amazon's dark patterns, or being harmed from co-mingled counterfeit goods. Somehow Amazon has built a business around people just accepting these pitfalls, and I still can't understand how. That sunk cost of "Prime" must be a hell of a drug.

State actors would find it very feasible with Bitcoin, too, if they decided it was in their mutual interest.

ASIC production for Bitcoin mining exists only with the implicit consent of the governments of the handful of countries that contain fabs capable of leading edge nodes.

It would not be difficult for these governments to secure a monopoly on ASIC production, and at trivial cost launch a permanent attack on the network.
>I believe the bill which passed actually includes the ability to publish aggregated statistics about how many notices you've received.

But those stats would be useless as each notice can target an arbitrary number of people. The law as written can literally ask for the data of every one of your users.

As I understand it, there can be no stats about the number of individuals targeted, only the number of notices received.

To add to the above, most big box stores carry the same brands for a price very close to Amazon (you'd be surprised how often that's the case of you checked before buying on Amazon)

At a big box, I don't have to wait for the delivery company to fail me, I'm not lining amazon's pockets, and if it's cheaper on Amazon most stores will price match anyway.

> What’s more, feature-driven JIRA does not easily support the concept of project-wide infrastructure which does not map to individual features... the spiderweb of dependencies which result don’t help anyone.

Disagree. You can make projects about infrastructure, and talk about releasing features of the infrastructure -- e.g. a new parameter in your cache interface. If this grates -- perhaps your description of an infrastructure update includes updating all clients which could utilize the update? -- then you may be facing productive pressure to decouple systems by defining and versioning an interface.

Immediately executing in Rust doesn't work very well for a few reasons. One of them is "pinning". In order to "start" a future, it must be pinned to a certain memory location and must never be moved from there anymore. If a future would start directly from the call which returns it, it wouldn't be possible to move the Future anymore. E.g. return it from another function, store it in a Vec<Future>, etc.

I found out it works also better together with some other features, like "select!" and the current cancellation mechanics. But I can't remember all the details right away, and it might be pretty hard to explain.

That said the choice makes sense for Rust for those reasons, but is not a general one! I think for Javascript, C# and Dart synchronously executing until the first await point is easier to understand. I e.g. felt that "async" in F# was a bit harder than in C# due to the non immediately executing property.
I don’t really see the point of this paper.

The reason to try to approximate Euler spirals by Bézier curves is that Bézier curves are ubiquitous in existing implementations. Trigonometric Bézier curves (https://ac.els-cdn.com/S0893965908001262/1-s2.0-S08939659080...) are not to my knowledge implemented anywhere.
To play Devil’s advocate: that’s 2 months a customer went without being able to use that feature. What could you or the company have learned if you shipped an earlier version and measured how people used it? Was your feeling of control and happiness worth the business information of not having that feature in the wild for 2 months?

I am also fatalistic about global treaties of any major consequence.

So failing that I would start with low hanging fruit. Convince countries with low populations but high per capita C02 emissions to switch to sustainable power. Especially countries that are increasing. Trinidad and Tobago have a small population (1.3 million) but have the second highest per capita and its increasing. I assume they are burning far to much diesel and have some issues getting natural gas supplies, or maybe corruption is causing buyers to buy diesel and not natural gas. Maybe the global community can come up with a solution.

Saudi Arabia (for all their other problems) is high on that list but sees the writing on the wall and is investing in solar. If it makes sense for them financially and in terms of stability, it probably also makes sense for Qatar and Kuwait to burn less oil and build solar.

Next I would look at countries that do not have a high per capita, but are increasing.

> ... they are trying to bend facts to fit the newspapers narrative, so they will get coverage.

I think we can all agree that that is politics, but not leadership. Politicians are active players in the game of politics, no argument.

So I suppose the null hypothesis is that the current PM has a large contingency of voters who don't like immigration (who are also pandered to by the Daily Mail), and is trying to represent them. I really like that one - a politician who attempts to show leadership _will_ be controversial and resisted. Democracies settle uncontroversial issues extremely quickly, then settle into an awkward status-quo with competing interest groups, where any change advantages some and disadvantages others. Someone who tries to lead anywhere new will face fierce opposition.

Are you fundamentally saying that that null hypothesis is wrong? What are you proposing replaces it?
Every advanced ancient civilization had astronomical observatories and political leaders routinely relied upon personnel at these facilities for information about when to plant and harvest crops. If your livelihood depends on this sort of thing, there may be an incentive to invest in improving instruments and models.
