Please don't encourage router-makers to add more functionality that risks exposing my network traffic to the internet. I sympathize with the sentiment, but the people that make these devices have proven again and again that they are unable to execute on basic traffic security.

Servers. You are describing servers.

Edit: upon reflection, rather a lot of people I know don't have routers, either; they use shared internet (e.g. xfinity) or only have mobile plans.
In the benchmarks where Python wins it's multithreaded. And even with 4 cpus against 1 cpu Lua still hangs on.

EDIT: Binary trees is peculiar in that it loses by 10x. There's something going on with memory consumption and possibly GC behavior, but I've already wasted enough time and don't care to dig in. There's a reason the Computer Language Benchmark Game has limited utility. It's pretty clear the core Lua VM (e.g. bytecode execution, function dispatch, etc) is substantially faster. Once you move past the core interpreter loop it becomes difficult to compare apples-to-apples, if at all.

EDIT2: Ok, it was bugging me. Turns out that the Python binary tree program has an interesting (clever?) bug. make_tree isn't building a binary tree, it's building... well, I'm not sure what to call it... but has substantially fewer nodes. It walks like a binary tree, though, and so the output of the program is the same. You can do the same thing in Lua with

local function BottomUpTree(depth)
local t = {}
for i=1,depth do
t = { t, t }
end
return t
end

which ~ quadruples performance, which means apples-to-apples (1 cpu Lua to 4 cpu Python) Lua is almost twice as fast.
There are placees where termination for arbitrary reasons doesn’t exist (see e.g Sweden). Those economies still seem competitive.

If you lay off 10% because times are worse and there is less work, then interestingly you are more or less required to re-hire the same people when you hire again (typically that would be negotiated so you’d buy them out instead).

The 10% you fire also has to be the 10% last hired, you can’t fire the 10% worst performing (again, this can be negotiated so firing an older underperforming hire quickly becomes very expensive - think 1-2 years salary or similar)

Is this perfect? No. But it makes employers think hard about hiring for better or worse, and it means you plan far ahead to ensure you have enough work in bad times, and don’t go on a hiring spree in good times.
where I live, a car, even a large one, is like $200/yr to register. If you want a bedroom the size of a car? you'd pay more than $1000/month.

I find Grady Harp's Amazon profile [1] activity suspicious, to say the least. Here's one of his reviews from January 11, 2019:

"Australian author Phillip Strang has gained his platform as an adventure writer through his career installing telecommunications networks in many remote and exotic parts of the globe, including time spent in Afghanistan and Pakistan - an experience that allowed him to gain direct insights in to the ongoing conflicts there. He has also spent considerable time in Africa including Liberia, Nigeria, and Guinea. It is this direct contact with troubled countries that gives his books intense credibility: he has first hand contact with the events he shares in his books such as DCI Cook Thriller Series (MURDER IS A TRICKY BUSINESS, MURDER HOUSE, MURDER WITHOUT REASON, MURDER IS ONLY A NUMBER, MURDER IN LITTLE VENICE, MURDER IN NOTTING HILL, MURDER IN ROOM 346, MURDER OF A SILENT MAN, MURDER HAS NO GUILE and now MURDER IN HYDE PARK.

We know the main characters and the genteel writing style of Phillip Strang so all that is left is a brief summation of the plot and the story is distilled well in Phillip’s synopsis: ‘An early-morning jogger is murdered in Hyde Park. It's the centre of London, but no one saw him enter the park, no one saw him die. He carries no identification, only a waterlogged phone. As the pieces unravel, it's clear that the dead man had a history of deception. Is the murderer one of those that loved him? Or was it someone with a vengeance? It's proving difficult for DCI Isaac Cook and his team at Challis Street Homicide to find the guilty person - not that they'll cease to search for the truth, not even after one suspect confesses.

Elegant writing and a keen sense of suspense – this is another Phillip Strang winner! Grady Harp, January 19"

There's no personal opinion about the book except the "another winner" at the very end. The first paragraph is author's flattering autobiography, the second paragraph is literally copy/paste of the author's synopsis and perhaps the very last sentence is actually what Grady Harp wrote. Sorry to ruin the illusion but this is a promotional account that simply posts whatever message the authors send in. Also I noted Grady Harp consistently rates books with 5 stars, which is again a sign of promotional account, as anything below that might as well be 1 star.

> I think the better solution is to leverage cheap vms.

So...centralize many/most popular internet services on infrastructure that provides cheap, reliable VMs. At the risk of overdrafting my snark budget: that sounds familiar.
That sounds like a fantastic way to make it too risky to ever hire anyone
Consider the following hypothetical:

You're a female rape victim. The rapist broke into your house and performed said act. 6 months pass, and you decide to buy a gun (a glock, say) and take self-defense classes which include weapons training. You now stash the gun under your pillow at night, and you live alone.

Would effective self-defense (ostensibly, including the likelihood of killing a potential perpetrator) be evil?

I don't see how you get out of this puzzle.

The only thing I can think of is something like St. Augustine's argument that it can be sinful to do something, but still be a morally right act (or morally right thing to do). One of his points is that this is one of the perplexing aspects of the human condition.

But if we follow Augustine down this path, then we don't really end up with a conclusion that you wanted to drive at. You want to say putting resources behind a nation-state defending itself is evil, and is evil tout court. Augustine's argumentative path won't get you there.

Now, you could say individual self-defense is not the same as nation-state self-defense. That's fair. But, let's now walk our way down this path a bit. Is there a relevant and substantive difference between individual self-defense and the self-defense of a village of 50 native american indians soon to be snuffed out by Custer? How about 1,000? At what point do we say too many people in the collective ('nation-state') makes effective self-defense evil, in general.

Great article Ruben! I've been following Solid's progress for a while, and I think your article very eloquently summarize its purpose and relevance. I'm especially interested in the ability to circumvent the middle-men, and resolve the marketplace chicken-and-egg problem once and for all.

Watching your TED talk in 2013 was one of the most influential moment in my life, and discovering the semantic web was perhaps my greatest epiphany. While the vision never left my mind, I never acted on it. Until now.

I'm dedicating 2019 to linked data. I'm going all-in.

Last week, I started to build a tool to convert unstructured input to linked data. Even after recognizing canonical literals (email, phone, url, color, gender, boolean, integer, float, date, time span, money, weight, distance, language, image, geo coordinates), I couldn't accurately infer predicates and guess classes. Before trying more complicated stuff like bayesian inference, I decided to try a simpler exercise.

This time, I want to aggregate structured data from different sources and map it to some existing ontologies. For example, I want to convert some JSON about comments and links from Reddit and Hacker News to RDF using the http://schema.org vocabulary.

- Can I feed the JSON into some ML system that automatically figures out the mapping? What if I provide some annotation or feedback?

- Can I manually turn the JSON into JSON-LD and use that as the mapping information? What about complex transformations (different structures and literals)?

- Should I implement the mapping manually using my favorite programming language?

- Should I use R2RML or RML?

What's the state of the art today for semantic data integration?
What’s weird is that we’ve come to a point where form-letter legal threat nonsense is common and we’re all expected to just deal with it. This sort of thing deserves to be exposed and the perpetrator publicly shamed. Your example of ESR is totally different as the recruiter hadn’t done anything wrong.

Because users would riot, and would use browsers or plugins that suppressed these notifications.
Was about to disagree strongly with your conclusion but you have a point. Not everyone had a web site.

But I'm not totally convinced either: email has been huge despite the configuration needed, also with people who had to take it step by step twice and make notes while doing it. Some figured it out on their own (or more realistically using the step by instructions that came bundled with their first modem). Other had a son or a grandson who'd picked it up at school. Others got it at work.

My grandparents where the youngest group of people I can think of that didn't have access to email somehow.

And my wifes grandparents have/had access to mail and used actual mail clients too, not just Hotmail or Gmail.
Time to take another look...

...hey, for loops that take just a single integer and implicitly loop from 1. Interesting.

Just checked my (Objective-)C loops, and of the 500 with

for (i=

440 start with

for (i=0;

That's 88%. So looping on integers that implicitly forms a range starting from 0 seems like a reasonable addition for Objective-Smalltalk. "Looping" is already defined as higher order functions on collections and ranges, so all we need to do is map the number to the appropriate range and done.

-(void)do:aBlock
{
[[@(0) to:[self sub:@(1)]] do:aBlock];
}

Try it out:

> 4 do:[ :i | stdout println:i ]

This is not news! There's a certain brand of conservative baby boomers in the US who are obsessed with upsetting news, and they are extremely vulnerable to fake news. Long before this whole "fake news" thing on social media came to the popular consciousness, I was already getting e-mails about the Clintons being part of an assassination plot or a certain breed of poisonous spiders living in the toilet waiting to bite your butt and kill you. I called these "old person emails" because only baby boomers would send them. It's the reason we have snopes.com. Unfortunately I sent one of the snopes articles back in a response to one of these "old person emails", and the response I got was, "snopes is a liberal site!". In the US, the people from this generation grew up fearing death by nuclear attack by communists at any moment. Even though the world has changed pretty extremely since they were young, I think the psychological effect of it never wore off for some people. Unfortunately, I find Donald Trump to be the worst possible example of this type of personality: he's always angry, he refuses to believe news that doesn't fit his angry world view, and he says everything out loud that every angry baby boomer has always dreamt they could say out loud (thus many people see him as bold, not rude).

Yeah, that's probably a good bet. I'm in Europe and there are actually a decent number of European suppliers (or try Mouser, they seems to ship internationally for free, I have no idea how it works out for them but I got mine there).
It's great that you don't own a car. Cars are a part of modern day life. Some of us don't want to go without one though. The non-car owners will just have to deal with it. All the cars are in legal spaces. I don't even really have a problem with the scooters either, they're kind of fun to tool around on the weekend when I park my car somewhere downtown and want to run around and experience the city.
>Termination due to non-performance on the job is entirely different from at will termination which can hit a performer and non performer alike.

Termination due to non-performance can also hit a performer. Human beigns and hence their social systems are not perfect. N% layoff is performance related termination, because it's an impossibility that all employees pefrorm at the same level, are of the same value to the company. It's absurd to imply that N% layoff is absolutely random, that companies use lottery techniques to choose who to fire next.

>You seems to imply employees are the resources to be used to achieve goals.

They are. Within the constrains of culture and law.
Doing that would make hiring very risky. And interviews would be a year long
Also, use a dual SIM phone. Buy a PAYG SIM at your destination and use it for data. Then you remain contactable at your primary number.

I got a dual SIM phone three years ago (One Plus in my case), best thing ever. It's also one reason why I won't consider using iPhone.
This could definitely be an issue, but in my use case I think I'd find the perp pretty quickly and scare him off with my pitchfork :) . It's important to space out the messaging, I don't send more frequently than 1msg/minute, and messages are 8-12 bytes, and most sensors are 1 msg/hour.

Yes, but local port and IP are usually fixed when running a HTTP server (unless you're binding to multiple IPs on one machine).
As long as the company is planning on doing 10% less than most will not notice.

10% usually means 10% to 40% of company productivity is affected shortterm. 10% leave, 5% wanted to get fired but didn't, 25% will think they are next and change how they work (some positive some negative).

It is usually a signal for top performers to start moving on. In this case the story is spacex is growing conflicts with the layoffs.
Virtual indeed refers to their presence. While to you, you know they are remote, for any outward facing function though, such as with customer interaction, ideally they'll seem like they are no further then the next office or department of your company.
I'm not sure how much that helps.

That should prevent carriers from being told/trivially discovering your phone number, but your cell radio might still broadcast with your IMEI, which is at least as uniquely identifying.

The best is not to have a cellular radio, or to disable physically your phone's radio (e.g. as the Librem 5 will be designed to do). If that's too difficult or involved, soft disable the radio ('airplane mode'). That, however, requires you to trust the software really does keep the radio off.

CBD sales in the US over the next two years will likely exceed the value of all combined global hemp sales for 2017 (~$3.9b). A modest market for it in the US makes it a billion dollar crop.

"That would create a legal market for CBD that could be worth more than $20 billion by 2022, according to research firm Brightfield Group. ... Next year alone, sales of hemp-derived CBD in the U.S. are expected to rise almost 10-fold to $5.7 billion, according to Brightfield."

> The OP uses the word "insane", not outlier. It's clickbaity, and used in jest, but I think it better captures a subtlety of this phenomenon: The prolific commenters are molding every discussion in their image.

The author's definition of insane is stuff such as having read a lot of books, posting a high mumber of edits in wikipedia, or streaming videogaming for a profit.

That's not clickbaity. It's simply wrong.

Focusing on the most arguable assertion, the wikipedia user who has on average an edit per 4 minutes for pretty much the last decade. Based on my personal experience, it's very easy to reach that sort of rate due to wikipedia's auto-edit features, as it only takes a single click on a link to submit an edit.

For example, you can revert a vandalism submission by clicking the revert link, you can mark an article as stub by clicking on a link, you can add a post to a category by clicking on a link... You can even post a warning on a user page by clicking on a link. Each of these actions count as an edit.

This means that if you happen to stumble on a user who posted a joke on a set of articles, in the half minute it takes to revert all vandalism submissions and warn the user to not repeat that you will contribute tens of edits, which can give you easily a rate of 100 edits per minute.

Does that count as insane?
