I don't know what Librem 5 will offer in the end, but I think your response argues a false dichotomy with zero evidence. There is no "automated transparent and trusted global support infrastructure [...that requires] zero user interaction" for anything and (given how we improve things in real life) apparently such a thing is unnecessary. If you want to know how something works, you either learn how it works and do the vetting & improvement yourself, or get someone you trust to do this work on your behalf. Computer hardware and software is no different. The question is whether you're allowed to do this work at all, whether it's possible for you to hand someone you have good reason to trust the device and software to do this vetting for you.

There are many good reasons not to trust Apple or any proprietor. You claim an iPhone is "the most secure hardware and software combination you can get" but you offer no evidence to let us understand how you arrive at that conclusion. Proprietary software (such as iPhone's default OS, iOS) is untrustworthy by default because nobody but the proprietor has permission to inspect the software's source code, alter the software to fix problems or improve the software, or help the community by distributing improved software. You don't have the freedoms of free software (running, modifying, sharing published computer software including commercially). So in order to estimate Apple's trustworthiness we can't examine the thing itself in the most reasonable and thorough way. We have to fall back on something else such as Apple's reputation and consider how they treat their users. Apple left years-old remotely-exploitable security bugs in programs thus leaving users vulnerable (see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/8912714/Apple-iT... or https://truesecdev.wordpress.com/2015/04/09/hidden-backdoor-... for details). When it comes to iOS issues things are no better: iOS is the prototype of a software jail (hence the term "jailbreaking" to liberate one's device, and thus the user, from such control). Apple can and regularly does extract data from iPhones to give to the state (per http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/05/new-guidelines-outline-...) and Apple's claimed security improvements rely on software users can't vet, improve, or share. https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-apple.html has lots of examples of various kinds of Apple proprietary malware many examples include software iPhone users run. Apple also works against letting users get fixes without going through Apple, slows down iPhones users won't "upgrade", and disallows using older versions of iOS or non-iOS operating systems (because why let users control their computers).

This is all par for the course with proprietors; proprietary software (nonfree software, software that doesn't respect a user's freedom and community) is often malware (software designed to mistreat its users). The worst part is that because these programs are proprietary, motivated and knowledgeable users are not permitted to vet, improve, or distribute software that could benefit themselves and the entire community.
Sure, keep the SQL. Just make it a field in a JSON POST payload, and send the results back as JSON.

The "drivers in almost every language" suck. They all suck. I've never seen a SQL driver and wire protocol that was not awful in some way. The statefulness is part of what makes them awful. We have better ways to keep track of state now.
Fixed some bugs? The project didn't compile under a modern compiler. The compiled version didn't work well with any language besides English or Latin. There was no spell-checker included with the source and we had to re-write the library. Then there was the total inability to negotiate an SSL/TLS connexion... don't get me started.

I wrote for a general audience. Yes, it's a bit fluffy, but I had to try to explain certain things to people who don't know the first thing about computers (if you don't believe me, take a look at the eudora listmoms listserv). The responses I received were overwhelmingly "don't change a thing but the Unicode handling and the SSL!"
It does look fun. But there are other sports that push the excitement envelope.

I kitesurf. You can pick up the F1 of kites for around a grand. It's like being tied to an F1 car. Or go surfing, tech and shapes haven't changed for a few decades. So boards are cheap. Paddle out when it's big. That's a lot of water sloshing around. Being trapped out back on a big day is truly terrifying. And the only way in is to surf one of those waves. Makes my bum-hole tingle just thinking about it.
How can you tell the difference between an unprintable character and whatever encodes them (I've most often seen '.'), in a single character cell, without color?
Fellow BP1-er here - this is great, thank you for taking the time to share.
I'm sure it does. I thought it was an interesting talk nonetheless.
Didn’t ChargePoint already win, at least in the US?
The image quality seems pretty low, same as Oculus Rift DK2 (1080p 100° FoV). Compare to the nReal which is 1080p with a 52° FoV (4x denser pixels).
I don't appreciate being called a "fraudster" by someone who hope onto the Eudora mailing list, writes that one message, and hops off. Without participating otherwise.
I've just started to use Stripe Atlas and currently waiting on an EIN thanks to the govt shutdown.

So far their support has been very responsive and helpful, and even managed to hook up a referral code to a friend's account AND to a separate account of mine that is processing payments via Stripe Connect.

I'm sorry you had a bad time, but just wanted to provide a counterpoint here.
> If you want more luxury, pay for a first class ticket.

It's not just luxury, it's also safety, though I blame regulators here. The minimum standards are demonstrably laughable if you look at the details about testing "safe" evacuations.

> Shit happens. Bad weather, human error, random acts of God. Airlines aren't delaying or cancelling flights on purpose. What do you want them to do differently here?

Several things:

* Staff appropriately so that pilots don't run so close to the edge of their allowed hours that a small delay results in a cancellation because they've been on duty too long.

* More/better preventative maintenance. Airplanes are flown way too long with equipment MEL'd down to no redundancy, then the airline acts surprised when the no-longer-redundant thing also fails.

* More slack in general. I know it's not reasonable to expect them to waste planes sitting in hangers at every spokes, but a few planes kept in reserve at major hubs would go a long way to preventing massive knock-on delays. For that matter, so would extra gate crews, so planes aren't bottlenecked there as well.

* End/outlaw overbooking entirely.
Without running the exact numbers I feel like running down an entire average size cell phone battery in a few minutes would lead to everything bursting into flame. I don't think an average cell phone cpu can actually exhaust an average battery in that time frame.

I feel like if it were going all out at all times for no reason it would still last a few hours.

Also pretty sure this thing runs gtk apps NOT gnome which renders your analysis flawed.
The title of this piece is bonkers. There's nothing about breaking anything. Also two pretty glaring spelling errors, screaming no body took two seconds to proofread this before shoving it out the door.
The issue isn't that this approach won't be useful in building systems we can interact with linguistically. The problem is in describing the system as having learned a meaning.

It might seem pedantic or like something only philosophers of language would care about. But it gets to the core of how we should talk and think about the nature of AI as NLP gets more and more sophisticated.
Depends what you mean by Carbon. If you mean "the UI parts of HIToolbox", then yes, Carbon is deprecated. If you mean Carbon in general, most parts of it have been ported to x64, and you wouldn't call that deprecated.
There's an enlightening graph in this post:

https://medium.freecodecamp.org/lambda-vpc-cold-starts-a-lat...

I was surprised to learn this. When working in Lambda, you have to choose between a relational database & a responsive API. It seems inevitable that AWS will fix this soon, but apparently this is a significant architectural problem. As I understand it, RDS instances should (must?) be accessed from within a VPC, and anything inside of a VPC needs an IP address, so the Lambda function has to wait ~10 seconds on cold-start for the Elastic IP service.

The only workaround I've heard of is to setup a service, such as CloudWatch, to call your Lambda function every ~25 secs to keep it "warm", but this seems anti-thetical to the value proposition of serverless architecture in the first place.

Of course, you could "just" use DyanmoDB, but IMO the query language is really limited, and I'm not sure I fully grasp the problem (why doesn't DynamoDB need to be accessed from within a VPC?)
I thought of Oak (later 'Java'), too.
If they tried that, it would undermine their argument that their drivers are independent contractors. You can ban an employee from working for a competitor, but you can't ban a contractor. Many drivers drive for both Uber and Lyft; in an area with a good co-op, they'd probably start out driving for all three, and if the co-op pays them more they'd take as many rides from the co-op as they could get.
Necessary but not sufficient.
It's not actually. Only the UI parts of Carbon are deprecated:

"We are still planning to support the Carbon Event Manager and Text Input Sources, to name two mostly non-UI APIs. You might wonder, what about the Memory Manager, or the Alias Manager, or the Process Manager, or other lower-level managers? At this time, it looks like most, if not all, of the APIs provided by the ApplicationServices and CoreServices umbrella frameworks will still be available in 64-bit." - Eric Schlegel (apple developer)
The state of gRPC on the browser is the main reason why my company selected Twirp instead. Being able to natively call a simple HTTP endpoint with a JSON payload is fantastic; its the benefits of protobufs when you can use it, with a graceful fallback for clients that need normal HTTP. Of course you can get this with grpc-gateway, but now you have two things to maintain.

About 1, I think Stripe Atlas will help me handle accounting if all my transactions come through there. No? That's one of the reasons I bothered with the migration (other being just having a nice consolidation)

Actually I use Capital One Spark Business for my other business. They're great but unfortunately not taking any new customers right now.

Given that retractions have less publicity than their initial publication, I don't see why an unscrupulous entity (talking in the hypothetical and not about the authors) can't use a publication-followed-by-a-retraction to smear something/someone while also trying to maintain legitimacy.

The authors get some points for issuing a retraction, but they lose some for not doing proper due diligence first. Especially when they likely published their paper to cash in on the zeitgeist.
Absolutely. In philosophy, and plenty of other fields with central concerns of theory, it’s common that an influence is also someone who one disagrees with, and is responding to. Most the middle area of this chart should be under Marx, and it is outright laughable that Keynes is not.
I disagree with the "requirements document" bit. I do think it's better to move to Cocoa, but this should be done bit by bit. Start with "the upstairs" (the user interface), which absolutely MUST be in Cocoa to be 64-bit, then move everything else with time to Cocoa.

Being imperfect relative to the flagship commercial phones is a problem, because ultimately end-users have to use these things for them to remain going concerns, and it's hard to see which users are better served by a less secure phone stack.
The proposed site is near stations for both Caltrain and BART. Those are significantly more effective transit systems than the VTA light rail (which I agree is terrible).
I also noticed when troubleshooting a VPN and doing some tcpdumps that my Xperia Z5C was making pretty frequent DNS lookups of mqtt-mini.facebook.com . From what I could find on Google search my best guess was that this endpoint is used by facebook messenger, but I don't have that installed. This is despite the fact that I've disabled the facebook app.

I took a second look while writing this comment and there's an addtional "Facebook services" app, which I've just gone ahead and disabled. Maybe that will stop the requests.
When people smugly mention that crime is committed by black people I think about the studies that show a fairly even distribution of the whole american society admitting to doing things that are crimes

The studies are flawed, the statistics are counting the wrong thing, the consequences are aiming to accomplish the wrong thing

I wonder if there is a way succintly articulate these observations in a way that shows they are all related

Like, its not helpful to say “well maybe if they stopped committing crimes” when part of the privilege is committing crimes
Oh I’m sorry, I totally misread what you were asking.
In defense of OP I don't think his problems with Stripe Atlas are born out of any confusion.
I've had a couple of friends use Atlas without any problems. I guess your's is also a kind of an edge case with all the switching etc. Hope they resolve it quickly!

Another question: I also think that SVB sucks but is there a better alternative to it? I've heard of Azlo, but their services offering is not as broad as SVB's (e.g. no international transfers)?

I live in San Jose and boring is _good_. I don't want parties up and down the street and stuff happening all night outside my windows. I don't even live in downtown San Jose, but in northern San Jose in the middle of a tech park. There's nothing around, and that's a good thing.

I had an internship in San Francisco before I graduated, I'm never living in that city.

Never tried that. My ideal is bechamel sauce with cheese on top - shredded for the added surface area when browning. This is based on a typical croque monsieur recipe. It's very easy to make bechamel in about 10 minutes and it keeps for a week or more in the fridge without issues.
I doubt that they actually built this on top of Postgres. They probably just integrated the WiredTiger[1] storage engine used by Mongo with their Aurora storage subsystem.

I am however really hoping Amazon provides a MySQL 8.0 compatible version of Aurora with full support for its new hybrid SQL and Document Store interfaces[2] courtesy of the X DevAPI[3] and lightweight "serverless" friendly connections courtesy of the new X Protocol.

That way your don't have to choose just one approach, and you can have your data in one place with high reliability and durability.

My ultimate pipe dream would be that they also provided a redis compatible key/value interface that allows you to fetch simple values directly from the underlying innodb storage engine without going thru the SQL layer, similar to how the memcached plugin currently works[4]

The snippet I can see says:

> When pharmaceutical company Depomed Inc. of the U.S. said this month it is fielding federal and state inquiries over its marketing of opioid painkillers, a stock drop was likely to follow.

> But it was less expected, legal experts say, that shareholders would then sue the company for securities-law violations, alleging that Depomed made false and misleading statements over a more than two-year period leading up to the Aug. 7 announcement in its earnings statement.

A lawsuit about making false statements is entirely different than a lawsuit saying a company is insufficiently profit-seeking. Unless the article broke down how many of those record lawsuits were actually over low earnings (which I can't tell), I don't think this shows anything.
I imagine it would. If you read again I’m trying to distinguish people who are homeless and people who are mentally ill, filthy, and verbally threatening homeless. I don’t think we should restrict people’s access to water, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this was a motivation. I would bet that the least desirable people in society don’t have smartphones generally.
Actually, it’s not. Here is a great video (from a great channel) that explains why: https://youtu.be/iGbC5j4pG9w
Look at Japan. They have much less restrictive zoning so.....housing is WAY CHEAPER. I'm not sure why you think that fixing a fairly obvious problem won't help anything.
I think this is interesting to me because Elm is an extremely unique way of doing frontend development on the web by utilizing functional programming concepts.

IBM, in my mind, is a massive dinosaur. To know that some group there was able to make a consumer facing product using the latest tech is cool. Definitely gives IBM a better favorability rating in my view.
He said furniture shopping. Not something you do often, and grocery stores do stay open late already.
I don't think most people truly appreciate how good his direction is, even if they enjoy watching him on screen. This oversight extends to Hollywood producers, who insist that his classic movies require "adaptation" before release in America. If Jackie Chan were truly respected, "Legend of the Drunken Master" would never have happened.
Don't know that I disagree with any of that. Bad science is a problem. It's not fake news.
I am a big fan of rust but I don’t think the Async using the ”await” keyword or using Future/promis is the way to go.

I wrote a large web app in scala using Futur only and it turned into a monster because of it. Even if you don’t use callback you still need to manualy unwrap them and they pollute your méthode signature.

Then more recently I wrote a pub/sub server in c# using the “await” keyword. While much better it still polute your method signature and make the debugger and stacktrace useless. Also you still have to think about trying to no make anything that could block spinlock or calling api that are not Async ex: Createfile

Compare this to Golang where project like Groupcache (1) have super clean code that replaced a thousand line of code C++ system at google.

Never, ever give your TV access to the Internet.

The OS that runs on those things is such unmitigated shit, whether it's LG, Samsung, Vizio, anything. Just use it as a dumb display.

At least if I have an xbox one driving it I can be reasonably confident that microsoft has a highly vested interest in staying up to date on security patches. And whatever data collection I've opted into/out of has been vetted by people in Redmond. Use a home theatre PC to drive all other needs.
I think you've unwittingly asked for DDP and Meteor.

Meteor was seriously ahead of its time, much like all good systems that suffered under their complexity before the infrastructure was there to support it. At its core, its a websocket-based RPC protocol that could return database cursors, with asynchronous downloading of database documents. The client ran a miniature instance of MongoDB inside the browser, which enabled clients to issue normal MongoDB queries client-side with optimistic evaluation. Data updates would hit the local mongo instance, be optimistically rendered, and then be sent to the server. Then the source-of-truth would be delivered back to the client via the mongodb oplog.

In other words, it's bi-directional mongodb oplog streaming. Absolutely fantastic considering it was released in 2012.

You do not seem to have made that distinction anywhere in your comments.

Once upon a time, in the olden days, I received a sales call from F5, the day after having visited their site. Upon questioning, he admitted to having done a reverse lookup on the IP addresses in their web logs and calling the technical contacts for those domains.

Needless to say, I gave him a piece of my mind, and explained exactly how much interest I had in getting sales calls from every web site I (or anyone in my company) happened to visit every day.
So at some point, one could assume this will stop being news and look more like laptop sales?
You have taught him well, congratulations.
Not to be glib, but what you are saying, kind-of, is "the worse a company is at staying up to date with technology, the more meaningful it is if they use a fringe langauge"
As long as your network traffic is sanitary before it hits the baseband (Tor, VPN, or something you trust) you're good on that end. A better design would be to have three settings for the mic: baseband, app processor, killed, so you could run the audio path through free software as well (VoIP). The idea is to minimize what the baseband is doing in the system, and assume it's malicious. It's hard to duplicate PhD person years on the signal processing side, and, if you get that far, then navigate the IP minefield.
I always wondered how precise were the computerized ECG interpretations from 24-48h Holter results. Considering you have to take notes and report date and time whenever you feel "something" it might need a manual check.

That's a complaint about the JS language itself, that variables are global unless otherwise specified.
That makes no sense. She clearly planned ahead in a way you wouldn’t for a petrol car.

> On the other hand, when running our simulation models (AmoebaTSP or its developed versions) on the traditional computers as we did in this study, the analogue and parallel spatiotemporal dynamics require nonlinear time for simulating them as digital and serial processes.
