If you are going to defame someone, ought truth be a basic requirement? How can you prove a negative; how can cops prove they aren’t corrupt? Much easier to prove something happen rather than proving something didn’t happen, unless there is a specific incident in question.
I mean he targeted powerful people and put a lot of information out that they didn’t want exposed. I think to say he’ll get a fair day in court is something that’s easier to say when you aren’t the one with cannons pointed at you.

I’ve been profiled by cops various times in my life, and the overwhelming feeling was that if I didn’t do what they wanted (things which I had no legal obligation to do) that they could have found a reason to take me in. I wasn’t doing anything wrong. So if you’re doing something that many people consider wrong, I think there’s plenty of injustice in our history to warrant preemptive protection if ones self.

Maybe Assange isn’t innocent. Maybe he deserves to be locked up. I have no idea. But if I were him and I were innocent, I still wouldn’t trust that I’d get fairness.
Endearing developers to Microsoft is probably the entire strategy behind the Github acquisition in the first place.
Docker can be a bit of a better option... Unless you're using the same database software for the in-memory operations as the actual deployment. Or aren't using many specific features the rdbms you have chosen (stored procedures, triggers, virtual fields, etc). Not that I'm a fan of triggers and prefer direct table access over SP, but virtual fields are GREAT during transitional changes.

It also generally requires an abstraction between the DB variants.
So a politician doesn't have the right to block someone, but the private company can decide to block someone for posting comments addressed to the politician, because the private company is private but the politician has created a public forum? (Assuming arguendo the comments in question don't violate any of the private company's ToS.)
Thanks for the additions.

Didn't think of the Dart since it's been around for a while. That has to be one of (the?) first GaN chargers to market?
Yes, and most do. Many will semi-routinely increase the number of confirmations during times where it could be necessary (like chain splits or network upgrade events), or adjust the number of confirmations depending on the size of the currency and overall usage.

Another mitigation is to shut down trading until the attack is over. Maintaining a 51% attack is expensive (assuming there is at least SOME usage of the coin), and if you just say "we won't be doing business for the next 24 hours", the attacker now has to maintain that attack for the next 24 hours, and if the company wants, they can just extend the time. Eventually (hopefully!) the attacker will run out of money, and the "correct" chain will take it over again.
By windmilling the propeller? This massively increases drag.
It seems like there's a segment of the tech crowd forever living in some 1950s sci-fi fantasy. There must be something about big hairy difficult-to-control technology that has an emotional appeal to a certain segment.

Meanwhile, in the real world, wind and especially solar power, as well as battery technology, are close to being cost-competitive with even the cheapest power sources (i. e. coal and gas).

I know it still stings how the general public just insisted on their black swans or whatever, and didn't quite like the idea of radiation as much as you do.

But the safety argument has long become irrelevant. Nuclear power has lost on economic terms now, and it has absolutely no chance of catching up with renewables in the one or two decades until those become so cheap as to render that fight irrelevant, too.
Analog waste disposal
I feel like most of these are known by any developer who's worked in a full project of Javascript for more than a fortnight.
Same outcome. How am I going to convince those cat owners that I totally fixed the dogs-eating-the-cats problem? Cats don't even need to be walked really, certainly not alongside the dogs. Putting the cats into the equation was a questionable business decision to begin with.
That might indeed be true. GitHub's value to Microsoft ain't the revenue; it's the users, the mindshare of whom Microsoft hopes to capture by luring them toward the Microsoft ecosystem (Windows, Office, Azure, SQL Server, etc.).

As a particular former Microsoft CEO put it: "[…] DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS […]". That strategy/desire hasn't exactly stopped, though it's certainly transformed quite a bit over the last couple decades (and Microsoft is finally actually getting somewhat effective there).
I bought 2 of these at 75 feet for $16 CAD (each) and it's maintaining expected 10 Gigabit on my home network.

So what are you trying to say here? Only men are allowed to dream big? Women should just plan to remain barefoot and pregnant and not get all uppity and imagine they can do anything of real value in the world?

Or are you going to say only currently rich people can dream big. Currently poor people should just stay "humble" and accept their lot in life and not complain too loudly?

Or some other dismissive justification as to why I should just accept that no one should listen to me, never mind that I have six years of college and have spent a lot of time studying such issues?
Good bye GitLab.com, free private repos was the only reason I used it. UX is really terrible in comparison. Will be migrating all personal projects to GitHub, happy times!

If you are "verified" on twitter and your profile information calls you out as public official then your twitter account is no longer just your personal play pen, it's an official means of public communication. This is a choice. You don't have to have a verified account, you don't have to put your political position in your twitter bio.
> AR and VR are going to work, and that we’re going to have heads-up displays that are going to remove the need for what we have now, which is this little pane of glass that we’re expected to experience the whole world through

Any idea what kind of head up displays he's talking about?
I agree with you. But after age 35 or so, I suggest you'll actively seek out undies that grip your junk firmly.

Far preferable to accidentally sitting on your testicles.

Gravity + time.
I think you're right about AR having more business uses than VR, and VR bring mostly for gaming. But I also think the gaming market for VR is and will be much bigger than the business market for AR.

Most of the AR business uses are dubious or downright stupid (kind of like a lot of IoT stuff) whereas there is already a real market for VR gaming.
Which is to say, it doesn’t.

If you're not on the largest coin for any particular interchangeable hashing algorithm then you're susceptible to these attacks, as people from a larger coin could simply turn their hardware against you and take you out.

That means: For SHA256^2-specific hardware, Bitcoin (the real one, not Cash, Gold, or SV), for scrypt, Litecoin, and for anything mined on GPUs, Ethereum (not Classic).
And no duty to disallow people from saying harmful things, even things that violate their stated terms of service, apparently.

>Free speech wasn’t supposed to have carve outs.

Sorry to be a stickler, but what exactly are you referring to here?

This statement is demonstrably false at the principle level, even in Mills' work, let alone in the enabling constitutional, legislative, or treaty-based implementations of Free Speech.

We can have a sound discussion about the optimal place a society should land upon on the more restrictions vs. less restrictions spectrum, but to pretend that the only way the system works is at precisely zero limits warps the conversation and prevents us from taking a deep look into the issue.

My unpopular opinion (based on reading this thread) is that VR's killer app will be sports. Sports is a great fit:

-Once set up, it should be very straightforward to get cameras set up in a repeatable way. Venues have the money to set this up

-Fans willing to pay lots of money for an immersive experience

-No need to deal with many of the issues around the user needing to move around

The biggest challenges will be getting processing/rendering good and quick enough to respond in real time. I personally can easily imagine a future where you can buy the equivalent of a front row seat to a Giants game as part of a season pass just as you would from mlb.tv
But tech companies can ban and deplatform them completely for you....
IANAL but that seems consistent (or maybe just the second part hasn't been tested yet).
Obama has/has a lot of power. Obama may not have given a list like this, but he didn’t need to. He was able to say “this isn’t true” and he has enough followers that the message will have the effect of combating falsehood.

Assange doesn’t have that. This is an odd little release, but you’ve gotta consider more than “public figure” and look into what means the public figure has to get a message out.
A few years ago I was in love with Xenix, and I managed to track down a fairly sizable collection of software that was not openly available, including the Developement system.

Some of these did not have any working serial/key pair, so a friend wrote a k&r c program that printed a sh file that ran brand with every activation key for a given serial... Took a couple of minutes in a virtual machine to find the correct one, but it never felt like a neat solution.

Then in 2017 I found this post... And the neat solution I was looking for.
Observation: Marc talks about the importance of wearables but is wearing what could be a Rolex rather than an iWatch.
Since the USB-C port often supports bidirectional power, it may not actually make it that much larger, if at all, as the battery charger IC can often operate in "reverse buck" mode to turn the battery voltage into 5V, which when using synchronous rectification (almost mandatory for efficiency now) means it has all the parts for forward boost, and just needs a slightly cleverer control IC.
This is like how many modern power banks can use the same inductor for buck (5V->3.7V) charging and boost (3.7->5V) discharging.

Check this app note from Intersil/Renesas: https://www.renesas.com/eu/en/doc/whitepapers/power/usb-c-bu...

(of course, it may be slightly less efficient in boost charging, but since the 5V usb source has limited power, this may not be a concern in terms of component thermal limits etc).
On the other hand, our current nuclear bombs initiate a fusion reaction with a fission reaction. The radiation comes from the fission. If fusion research finds a way to initiate nuclear fusion in a payload small enough to fit in a warhead that does not make use of heavy elements then we will not have to worry about radiation poisoning, one of the most horrific aspects of current generation nuclear bombs. This would result in a less deadly bomb while still having the current or higher levels of deterrence. It could be seen as a net positive.
> Consumers base buying decisions on the longest trip they expect to take.

Which makes little sense. I am frequently asked about this. Look, I'm optimizing for 99% of the trips I take, which are inside cities. The odd roadtrip? I'll take the savings from not having to pay for gas (workplace charges nothing) and just rent a car for that odd trip. Most rentals have unlimited miles anyway.

And that's because I have an earlier generation Leaf. A Tesla would be no issue.
What you're missing is that civil defamation suits are not at the discretion of prosecutors.
I’m guessing English is not your first language. No where does the author make the implication you state, in fact it asserts the contrary.
Our customers for VR training are not particularly tech savvy and not part of the Silicon Valley bubble but we don't find any of the issues you raise to be concerns with our customers.

VR probably won't have a place in every home, just as TV or Alexa type devices don't have a place in my home. I think the market can ultimately be as big as those technologies however.
It also is a testament to the ability of the interface vendors to get solid connections of out-of-spec cables. I have a small server room that is only wired with a 200+ foot run of in-wall Cat5e cables that the building was originally wired with. Running fiber to the room would be a multi-thousand-dollar job. On a lark, I took two switches with 10G-BASET interfaces and successfully brought up a 10Gigabit link across that Cat5e. I brought that link into production 6 months ago, and through that time have had less than 100 errors per link. Just incredible.
So this is a publicity stunt intended to show off their mining rigs.
There is already a complete lisp tool being implemented, aiming to take advantage of C++ libraries called Clasp.
You can also take a look to some major Clisp/scheme libraries like biolisp (i think it's the name). I'd never make a group project in common lisp if this project do not involve either a finite-state machine or a DSL (rewriting a prolog interpretor in lisp is a breeze), and in this case, the language fits perfectly imho.
Microsoft's documentation is really bad, in my opinion. So maybe Microsoft would be a good choice for Steve after all ;)
KC native here. I haven't been to SF, and don't ever plan to. I live 12 miles away from my work (to the East, thank goodness), and bought a home a few years ago in a very nice suburb for $160k. 3 bed, 2.5 bath, gigantic finished basement and 2 car garage. My mortgage is like $1.3k/month

For the same $1.3k in SF, I could get a deluxe cardboard box by the side of the road. No thank you. And KC is google fiber as well, so I'm getting great internet for $50/mo.

I really think more tech companies should try KC or Austin. The cost of living is much lower, so more of people's salaries becomes spending money.
you work in this field ? It's of the most fascinating one I've seen..
Interesting article.

Any literature/thoughts on when to commoditize complements rather than trying to vertically integrate? Private repos might be a complement to github's other business, but it doesn't naturally follow that they should commoditize it in all situations
It almost is, but the super large picture of the guy holding a pizza base might give up the game.

On a serious note, Github could be a good place for blogging because you can get CI to check your code examples, and even to lint your spelling, as well as get readers to supply PR's to fix any errors they see.

>Are tech companies across the board allowed to shut down, disenfranchise, silence, and marginalize people and businesses because they simply disagree with their lawful politics and ideas?

What if those politics and incitements aren't legal (or ethical) because, at a general level, they violate the law specifically but the harm principle more generally?

Would you be okay with taking action then?
Because the market cap isn't truly $5M. That figure uses the naive calculation of "whatever coins sold for most recently times the total number of outstanding coins". But if you tried to sell some significant fraction of the outstanding coins then the sale price would plummet, and you'd never actually reach $5M total. The actual depth of the order book at any given moment isn't close to $5M, plus a lot of outstanding coins are completely lost and unredeemable.

The actual cost to take over a cryptocurrency tells you more valuable information than the naively calculated market map. If a cryptocurrency only costs $3/hr to take over then it's truly a shitcoin.
Of course we do, because we have to. Compared to the US, China and Israel, Germany is a third world country when it comes to internet security. And this was a deliberate choice of our politicians. Even owning so-called "hacker tools" (not sure if this includes my beloved hex editor) is illegal in Germany.

There is a _LOT_ to be said for gaining a few %5 here and there improvements. Apple can both optimize their software for a very limited set of micro-architectures (a luxury that doesn't exist on android which runs on everything from tiny in order cores to larger more general purpose OoO cores) as well as optimize the cores themselves for an exact instruction sequences they determine to be critical for _their_ OS/applications/power envelope. This means their cache sizes/latency/TLBs/ROB buffers/frequency/power profiles/etc are decided not based on what generates a good specCPU score but what generates a good iOS/safari experience.

Its a complete vertical integration and no one should be surprised that a general purpose kernel (linux) running a AOT/JIT'ed environment on top of an os abstraction layer (android) on top of processors frequently designed to exist in applications that aren't phones gets beaten on a phone centric benchmark. Call me when someone gets a big hadoop benchmark or dpdk results on an apple core.
Let's stop pretending these companies are not carrying out political activities. They clearly are and it's not a matter of a mom and pop shop just enforcing their rules.

Wait, what happened to that baker when they wouldn't bake that wedding cake?
You're being disingenuous now. The core focus of this document is in regards to things that any other individual could justifiably sue for libel and defamation, but because this is a low point in Assange's image, we just laugh at him, which is ironic, considering his image itself has been damaged by these false claims.

If your criticism is about news entities cherry picking facts or making sensational headlines then you’re gonna have to target more than Wikileaks and alt-right journalism. Mainstream media, regardless of the political side, does this on the regular. I’d say it’s more this than “open objective news” by a large margin.
This is great news. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I'm not sure how relevant it is to you, but I hope you take some inspiration from https://platform.sh/ – it's the PaaS I've had the most luck with. While it isn't perfect, it's the closest thing I've found so far. Their "almost everything is in git" and instant environment cloning are fantastic features.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I bought the music using iTunes as well. I also bought many tracks and albums using Beatport. I only really started using iTunes after I got an iPhone because it is easier to sync music to the iPhone using iTunes.
I think over prepping is bad. It can be suffocating. I think kids needs a few key points at pivotal times, between these they'll probably hover around fine in the herd.
There are simply more hours in a day to spend on business than there is on gaming. Enterprise spending is nearly $4T whereas gaming is $150B, that’s a 26x difference.

Kicking out disruptive people isn't viewpoint discrimination, and, as you note, is already permitted in the law of public fora.

This holding is simply upholding a District Court decision that existing law of public fora (including the prohibition against viewpoint discrimination) apply to the Facebook page at issue.

"It's just a simple fact that the white man was given the burden of caring for the rest of the world"

If your argument can be used to justify oppressing non-cis genders today as well as it could be used to justify oppressing African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement or earlier, I don't know that I consider it a strong argument.
GitHub is giving free users unlimited private repositories
But it offers no data to support the general idea that this is the case (that denials are through the roof, even if TN is a higher rate than the national level, it is marginal. Also it leaves out the median which would be more interesting, since a few states could greatly bring down the average.) The approvals are reviewed because denials can be appealed. It's a safe guard against fraud. I'm not saying there aren't perverse incentives, but "doctors earn big money approving disability claims" has less of a moral outcry from the reverse.
Mathematica interprets the real numbers 9999999999999999.0 and 9999999999999998.0 as having machine precision. To work in arbitrary precision, you need a backtick after the number, followed by the number of significant digits.

In this case,

9999999999999999.0`17-9999999999999998.0`17 does indeed return 1.
