IRL Ads Are Taking Scary Inspiration from Social Media
I find Tor most useful as a networking tool rather than a security/privacy tool.

The Hidden Service functionality is great for breaking out of Carrier Grade NAT, normal NAT, or any other restricted network environment.

A prime example of this is being able to SSH into devices running on a 4G LTE connection. You're behind CGNAT so the public IP address is not unique to you, and you definitely can't port forward as you're just a customer and not in control of the ISP systems. If you run a Hidden Service, you can break right out - and it's secure too, as long as you use the new Onion v3 spec rather than the original Onion v2.

I agree that Tor seems to have a large stigma though - I find that the terms 'Tor' and 'Onion' usually make people who aren't aware think of the scary criminal underground. The term 'Hidden Service' isn't so bad. The idea that Tor is simply a networking tool seems new to most people.
Agree. All it says is: if all cars magically turned electrical today, we'd need more electricity.

No discussion of the risks/barriers in place to get more electricity. (By the way, technology and infrastructure investment aren't the bottlenecks here. It would be the perverse politicians and bone-headed bureaucrats at the electric system operators.) Also, no discussion about solutions as you mentioned.

Given I'm in a bad mood, I bet the purpose of the article is simply to get published so the authors can sell their expertise to some regulatory hearing.
Bit of anecdata: I used Looker in a previous gig, where we used it mostly a development tool for constructing and optmising difficult queries. The business continued to use Tableau for BI.
Dreaded by everyone except the users/customers, who come to depend on the service the startup provides.
> that's nonsense like all trickle-down theory

It's not trickle down theory. Paris overtook London as the city with most high-net-worth individuals. Thus a lot of people are not paying taxes in Paris as opposed to London.

Though, of course, it depends how much money they end up actually paying compared to the lost revenue. But this is the one point that I can accept. The others are unacceptable, we are in agreement about them.
Well, one could put it cynically as Deep has developed a giant "cannon" that can be fired at different very hard but reasonably well defined problems. They've hit go, chess and similar things. Hitting proteins keeps their activity in the limelight. Essentially, DeepMind is demonstrating the value of the money Google paid to purchase it.

The problem is one runs out of reasonably isolated problems with a reasonable metric.

Here is an impressive review of a huge number of scholarly critiques of Christopher Alexander's work: https://cityterritoryarchitecture.springeropen.com/articles/...

Personally, I've never been able to take him seriously enough to work up the patience to analyse his work to anything like that level of depth. His project is hubristic.
Have a look at RetroPie: https://retropie.org.uk/

Doesn't come with any game ROMs, but there are enough places you can download them. Once you have them, it's just a simple file transfer to install them.
The first part of that sure sounds familiar.
As I understand it, Google is not well optimized for putting out new mass market customer-facing services and keeping them going. Their entire organizational hierarchy actually runs counter to this very idea, and you know, people at Google are just like people everywhere else. That is to say, they are just people.

The fact that every now and then they have a success speaks better of the specific team driving it than it does of Google as a whole organization. That is usually the case with any corporation though.

So basically, you can have all the resources in the world, but if you’re not organized well, then you will not accomplish your goals more efficiently than your smaller competitors. The fact that your competitors are comparatively resource starved probably helps them optimize better than you can, because what is just a side project to you is their entire existence to them.

I guess the actual thresholds crossed are different but at this point who cares, unless you actually know those thresholds. It's out there and getting farther out. Yay.

>The interesting bit is where GoPro will get the cameras for the US market produced.

I'd guess Thailand or Japan. I clear international freight through customs for my primary income and see a lot of finished cameras, and even just CMOS, with the most common countries being China, Japan (e.g. Canon) and Thailand (e.g Nikon). A lot of complete digital still image AND video cameras come out of Japan and Thailand actually.
I think the key question you're trying to ask here is what to do if you're having issues with a freelancer or vendor who aren't living up to your expectations. And in that situation what communication style works best.

I just let people go and try to terminate those types of relationships as soon as possible when I know it's not working. It's not worth it to focus on any communication style in my opinion. Sometimes you just have to cut losses quickly and professionally.

I try my best to learn from these situations and get a lot pickier about who I work with. If you're having lots of issues with people who aren't meeting your expectations I would check whether there's miscommunication or whether you need to increase your standards whether for freelancers or vendors. You should be picky with both the people you hire and your clients. I learned that the hard way. :(

Sorry if this was not helpful.
The fact that he couldn't come up with $675 for a car rental, and has had some other similar issues including being unable to pay his rent, leads me to beleive he's broke broke. His mother has come out claiming he is as well. He may earn $200 just to record himself, but then he goes and spends $1000 on designer clothes and poorly made jewelry. This is all hearsay of course
If it were cheaper, the market would very likely have sussed that out by now (unless you're proposing some recent game-changing technological advancement). In all likelihood, the cost of all of that extra labor is well under $100/week/family, and the time cost alone of managing a greenhouse (maintenance and repairs, cultivating the crops, preserving the food, managing the whole operation, etc) exceed that amount pretty handily (for most families).

What would you say about the argument that that breakdown of compromise and trust was, and is, spurred by the expansion of full citizenship and voting rights, in both republics. Preventing more Italians from Roman citizenship seemed to be one of Sulla’s main talking points.

Have you read Michael Lewis’ The Undoing Project? Lewis has basically chronicled the destruction of large swaths of the American bureaucracy. The parallels between Sulla and Trump are so striking, even down to the hair!
Does GoPro actually do their own development?

I remember reading an article when they were starting up, snd the founder basically went to some expo in a China and purchased OEM devices and slapped his brand on there.

Edit: This isn’t the article but it sheds some more light.

> Once he had the strap sorted out, Woodman would need a camera to go with it. He eventually found a 35-millimeter model made in China. Woodman made an old-school prototype using a Dremel tool, plastic blocks, and glue. He mailed it to China, wired $5,000 to get started, and in September 2004 GoPro made its first sale when a Japanese distributor ordered 100 units after seeing the product at a trade show.

Thanks for your generic dismissal of our reasons for not voting. I vote in local government matters, but I'm not really sure what the point of my federal vote is supposed to be right now while I'm a blue voter in a permanently very blue state.

If we had pure direct democracy that'd be one thing, but in the age of the electoral college, your dismissal of youthful naivety comes across to me as empty arrogance from someone who's convinced his own beliefs are the only ones worth adhering to.

>Ticket shaping is super hard. I don't trust a non-technical PM to do it right, unless they happen to be experienced and/or have devs alongside them who are essentially just doing their job for them.

It is very hard. At my last gig, we got to a generally good state where the PMs were responsible for periodically outlining their overall "vision" to the team, which captured what we're building and why we're building it. In stories, PMs were made to be very focused on focusing on "what", not "how", and to provide the context for "why". That let the PMs stay out of technical details and let the Engineers use their brains to fill in gaps.

It took some pain and effort to get to that point, but once we got there, it worked very well.
I use Hue at home as well. They are great for controlling blue light exposure, but the flicker (North America) and color quality leave a ton to be desired. I can occasionally see the flicker, especially in my peripheral vision.

Also, they've proven to be unreliable—I've had 4 (out of 13) suffer capacitor failure just outside of the warranty period. Their color binning is not good—new lights look totally different in color from the older ones.

I wrote about this and was interviewed on a podcast recently:

* Is Smart Lighting Healthy?: https://medium.com/simplebulb/is-smart-lighting-healthy-903c...

* Podcast: https://bedtimebulb.com/ror

Disclosure: I sell a light bulb meant to be used in the evening before bed. It removes most of the unhealthy blue/green light, has a super high CRI, and has less flicker than "flicker-free" lighting (which could have up to 30% flicker!). Bedtime Bulb: https://bedtimebulb.com/
I don't know what you mean? The G+ UI is pretty good, certainly a lot better than Facebook was at the time when G+ launched. For a while, a lot of people were happy there, particularly in certain niches like photography.

It's a shame the implementation was so complex (apparently) that now it can't be easily maintained. This does seem to happen to Google a lot. It probably has more to do with too many resources, rather than not enough.

But maybe it's not simple to compete with Facebook. Maybe this has little to do with technology.
To be fair, it's not entirely resignation. It's "take this X and resign, or be put on the list to be fired and get something less than X". It's still better than just being layed off, but it not as nice as a voluntary resignation.

Interesting, because I was guess Mexico or maybe Foxconn in Brazil, but I guess it makes more sense with a country that already have camera production facilities.
Thanks. This bit from Wikipedia doesn't explicitly confirm, but it makes your answer very like:

> Two trajectories were selected. One was designated JST: its mission would take it to Jupiter, Saturn, and Titan, with the probe's trajectory designed to optimize the Titan flyby. The second was designated JSX: it would be launched on a trajectory that would preserve the option of a Grand Tour, while serving as backup for the first probe. It would arrive after JST, and if JST were successful, it could continue with the Grand Tour. If JST was unsuccessful, JSX could be diverted to perform the Titan flyby itself, which would eliminate the possibility of a Grand Tour.

> The two spacecraft that launched retained the same mission concept. Voyager 1's course was optimized for the Titan flyby and Voyager 2 for the Grand Tour. Voyager 2 would reach Saturn nine months after Voyager 1, giving plenty of time to decide if it should proceed with the Grand Tour. Additionally, by launching Voyager 2 first, Voyager 1's launch could be re-targeted to perform the Grand Tour if Voyager 2 were lost in a launch failure. An option to skip Voyager 1's Titan flyby and proceed from Saturn to Pluto was identified, though Titan was still considered the more interesting target, especially after images from Pioneer 11 indicated a very substantial atmosphere.

> With Voyager 1's mission complete, Voyager 2 was cleared for an extended mission to Uranus and Neptune, fulfilling the goal of a Grand Tour as proposed in 1964.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I've looked things up on Google and frequently see Quora answers at the very top.

I'd say at least half the time I click on the link, the top answer, it is either highly biased, anecdotal, just plain wrong, or a combination of those things. Many of the answers are also in broken English. Despite this, the answers get thousands of upvotes and it makes me question whether or not the Quora userbase is competent at identifying good content.

Over time, I've grown to not trust the first answer on Quora as I trust the top answer on SE. At that point, the Quora result becomes a waste of an entry on Google's front page.

As others have said in this thread, Quora seems to be suited towards personal questions and opinion-based questions, in which case, maybe Quora and SE are compliments to each other.
> So if you still having large scale layoffs then it appears that maybe the SOLUTION is not quite solving the PROBLEM.

It has to do with the interaction between solar wind and interstellar plasma.

There is a relatively sharp transition— the Heliopause— from solar wind dominating to interstellar “wind” (from other stars) dominating, which occurs where their respective radiation pressures are roughly equal:

Let's be honest, if we did a release with only stabilization, it might get us more users. Not more customers. And it is customers who pay for the development.

Everyone asks us to focus "on the basics" and then claim their pet feature requests are, of course, basics. ACL's and user mgmt in your case, perfectly fine features, but features nonetheless.

In the end, our development is guided by the community and customers. If you're not either, we might not do what you want... That's the reality of any open source project.

And you're right, for a large installation, you should obviously get an onsite engineer, or, much better, a contract with us which is both cheaper and better. That's what most larger installations do, and that is how we earn the money to make Nextcloud better.

WRT the E2E, that sadly took a whole lot longer to get working than we had expected. Of course, if you think it is important or need it, time and money can speed it up, we have only so much of those.

Honestly I'm not super invested in whether the argument is "correct" or not, I'm invested in the actual situation that affects actual people's lives. I personally don't make my decisions on what opinions to espouse and who to try to convince of anything based on a rigid structure of "validity" of an argument. It helps and it's a decent indicator of the right way to go sometimes, but if I know something is going to have a negative effect on people's lives based on whether or not I spread the idea or opinion, I don't care if it is "valid"/"correct" or whatever, I care about the effect. It is also important to note that even if the argument is not correct, that does not mean that the conclusion is not. A fool with no notion of "proper" argumentation can make an argument espousing any conclusion (right or wrong) that comes to him, but that has no bearing on whether any of those conclusions were right or wrong (also known as the fallacy fallacy)

I have this concept I use internally a lot where I consider what I believe to be true and what I consider to be "useful", and sometimes I will choose to believe things that I am sure are false because it is more useful to me personally to believe it is true. One example of this is the concept of karma. I am don't believe there's some mystical force in the universe that will balance everything out and ensure "what goes around comes around", but it sure is useful to believe in some mystical balancing force so that I don't feel compelled to avenge every instance of me being wronged. Instead I just let it go and assume that the universe will right itself. The previous paragraph is taking this type of analysis to an external level when I decide what I will propagate with my time and energy and what I will simply read and move on.

I don't particularly care whether or not the idea is structurally sound for some framework of debate and a system of rules for determining if it is valid or not, I'm more concerned with the real implications of believing and propagating belief in the idea. You mention that it's not the same net effect because personally deciding not to vote would change the tally by 1, but the voter suppression targets a group of more than 1. Yet here you are trying to spread the idea to other people to convince them that they also should join you in evaluating this idea as correct and thus not vote. This increases that count to more than 1, and the better you are at it, it increases further. It is exactly the same net effect because humans are social creatures and ideas spread through socialization and group acceptance. People who read your post and agree with it will feel that your reasoning justifies their belief in not voting as well. In a way, whether intentional or not, you are commenting on this topic in a way that serves to disenfranchise voters through self-disenfranchisement. If that is not your intent, I would ask that you examine what the effects of your efforts are and how they align with your goals in life and reality and perhaps focus less on systems of logic that are meant to help simplify and parse arguments, not determine your every action.
>It does feel somewhat unfair, but it's long-settled law on stolen goods: if you buy a car and it turns out to be stolen, or a house with an improper title, you don't get to keep it.

I agree with your first line, but wanted to nitpick the legal statement.

That's not the law on passage of title. Things are a whole lot more complicated than that.

The rules are jurisdiction specific and civilian and common law systems deal with this issue differently. Historical common law treats property as a series of tiered claims, not as a singular entitlement.

Sometimes there are brightline rules regarding registration requirements. Sometimes there are multiple sale good faith caveats. Sometimes there are confounding evidence requirements. etc.

Generally speaking, you never get to keep the item if you knew or ought to have known it was fishy. Beyond that, things vary.
Yeah, as well as visit Titan and Europa more seriously...Why "we" don't do such things that are silly inexpensive relatively, but burn millions on reality shows is something I'll never learn to accept...
My point is, calling a system that learned how to play 3 types of board games "general purpose" in any sense is a bit of a stretch. At best this is a "general purpose games-playing" system.

Have we been able to launch faster spacecraft since? I'm thinking whether there could potentially be a newer interstellar probe that could overtake the Voyagers 1 and 2 on the way out of the Solar system.
Oh ya, I was perhaps vague but don't get me wrong, I would of course prefer that American discourses could happen on American platforms and even if RT is letting proper non-corporate-aligned journalism run unfettered, it's just a means to an end and we can't count of their altruism.

I think it's just the world responding with a higher profile countermeasure to a systemic problem that could be handled more 'naturally' but isn't.
