Reminds me of Xiph's Speex/CELP model of speech as a mix of noise and frequency to achieve high compression, requiring as little as 2.15 kilobits (275 bytes) per second. It sounds perceptibly similar to the original recording, even though the difference between the input and output sampled data may be high:

Maybe higher compression can be achieved with better prediction, aka machine learning.
There's still the problem if what if you're looking at a log after a system restarted/crashed. Do you have the previous start time logged somewhere?

Personally, while I appreciate your arguments, I'm not sold on them.
Having tried to hire for a team that is focused on operations there’s a huge world out there full of engineers that have hid their head in the sand about configuration management, infrastructure as code, etc. They may have managed a lot of network devices, SANs, AD and Exchange clusters, etc. But devops really started within the software community fundamentally rather than the modern sysadmin one and there’s a lot of distinct differences in mentality that shows. This doesn’t mean one is better than another but if tou’re in the technology field it is imperative that you stay up to date on what’s going on even slightly adjacent to our respective fields. This has been lost on a lot of otherwise excellent sysadmins though, and for that reason alone I have to decline good engineers - attitude and perspective over a long career being unsuitable for the company I’m hiring for.

Google Photos has been great for that usage, although it depends what you mean by private..

My GF also uses a private Instagram account for this, but that's even less private than a Google service.
Airbnb has long way to go to be major player in hotel/rental market space whereas Uber has effectively killed taxi companies and is the market leader.

IMO demand for ridesharing will not lower in bad economy compared to Airbnb which is driven by consumers mostly using during travel.
Metallicity is low, but, hey, it's a rocky planet at a relatively safe distance. There is a reasonable chance there is still something covering the surface that resembles an atmosphere.
I've done more long term travelling than the average person, but 5 years is a long time to commit to being rootless. Do it because you are enjoying it and can balance it with the demands of your company, not for tax reasons.

You can have great fun meeting new people especially at first, but transitory friendships can feel quite different from longstanding friends and family. Then again, you don't have to move around much where long term visas aren't needed or difficult to obtain, and some places have relatively stable shared workspace communities, other recently-arrived expats and/or local people that find foreigners interesting to befriend. Remote Work and similar programmes might also be worth considering if you want a group to work and travel with and don't mind premium prices and moving to their next destination every month.

There's a tradeoff between "serious travelling and seeing the world" and growing a company though. Emphasising sightseeing and cultural immersion over scaling and selling is a perfectly reasonable choice for most people, but if you want to focus on scaling and selling then the challenges of a new city and culture every month or two is a distraction, four day treks to spectacular sites is something you might not have time for, and you might find big advantages from being near your market and employees. Some timezones work well for collaboration with a European team (some arguably much better if you're not a morning person or like an early rise and free afternoons!) and some really don't.
I suppose the landlords could port their reviews to a new platform by linking to the Airbnb listing similarly to how people used to post their eBay reviews when selling on forums. But yeah having all those reviews viewable natively for comparison is nice for renters.
It’s nebulous because “leave the EU,” means everything from remaining in the SM and CU, to having no formal relationship with the EU, and a number of positions in between.

People voted for the leave option without well defined idea of what that choice entailed. Remain, by contrast, was basically about keeping things as-is.
(1) I love your writing.

(2) Even reducing it to runtime costs, it seems a bit nonsensical. Are C++ exceptions a zero cost abstraction? All the googlers I argued with about them would insist that they have unacceptably high runtime costs.

OK, but templates are surely zero (runtime) cost abstractions, right? Unless you start to worry about duplicate code blowing out your instruction cache but if that's a problem, no profiler in the world will ever be able to tell you, so I guess you'll never know just how costly the abstraction is, so you might as well continue believing it is zero...?
Yeah I was thinking exactly that a couple days ago while I was booking a beach condo on a different site. Airbnb has a fair amount of competition in the vacation rentals market, and there doesn't seem to be a good defense against that. When I'm looking for a place to rent for vacation, I start with Google and end up visiting several sites. Airbnb is frequently one of them, but never the only one.
"oil has to stay in the ground"

Or at least stop burning it. A decent CO2 tax would do that.
Leakage into ground water would certainly be and issue if proper planning was not in place. I would have to think there are ways to prevent this leakage though. We have burying lots of coal ash for many years now and must have some best practices in place. Coal ash is more toxic than salt.

Gas stations make very little money on gasoline sales. They make far more on snacks and drinks. Having a more captive audience could make that a lot more lucrative.

Throughout also depends on how many spots too have. Chargers are relatively cheap and take less space than gas pumps, so they could make up for it with more spots as well.

The comment to which you’ve replied said exactly that.
This is the same Tim Cook that praised a conference to promote China's "cyber-sovereignty" vision as "developing a a digital economy for openness".
Don't forget that Apple is very good at marketing, and will change their message to fit the market.
It’s going down for good reasons.
My grandmother spent the last years of her life deep in the fog of Alzheimers. Unfortunately, I can't imagine any level of tech beyond the _most basic_ supervisory and assistive care would have helped in her case. (She thought, and had many violent incidents as a result of thinking, that I was her dead husband, among other things)

My only silver lining is that she was too far gone to feel any of that frustration. She lived in a different world from the rest of us near the end.

I say this because your last sentence stuck with me in that context. I'd say it's even harder than acid, the fundamental precepts of how your brain functions have begun to break down, and my focus, at least with preparing myself philosophically for this path and in brainstorming assistive capabilities, is on ways to integrate tech "invisibly." Even the most basic things, better monitoring for incidents, the ability to detect the need for assisted care before it became urgent, mechanisms to bridge gaps caused by the loss of individual competence without requiring new skill sets and learning.

I was only a child when I was exposed to the bulk of this, so sincere apologies if any of the above seems to come from a weird point of view, I realize it can be a sensitive subject.
Apple doesn't offer ANY advantage in servers, cloud, personal home-server, etc. NO ONE wants Apple to impose their will on servers, like they do on the app-store, or on their devices by willfully being standards in-compliant for the sake of revenues (think chronic in-compliance with W3C just to favor their app-store, BS decisions like 1 USB-C port on MacBook air that can't even tether to an iPhone without a convertor, etc.)

> While Swift is an open source language, the libraries for it do not have to be

MOST server software is open-source for a reason - NO ONE trusts closed-source with user data on their servers! PaaS providers have just started to earn trust from customers, but no one will willfully drop in closed-source software when open alternatives are thriving.

This is more a fan-fiction homage from a fanboy than a collection of realistic opportunities for Apple.
That's because brexiter politicians are not looking for a good outcome. They are looking for power. Brexit is a good vehicle for that: make a brand of being a "Brexiter" and sell it as an utopia. Demand it be delivered then point politicians' incompetence when they fail despite trying. Then use your reputation as a "serious" brexiter to gain power and show them "how it is done".
Your condescension is noted.

The host key fingerprint does matter. That's the host's public key. The host also has a private key. Without that private key, Bob can't pretend to be Eve.

You are correct that when connecting to Bob, if his public key doesn't match Eve's expected key, it will prompt the user to cancel the connection.

You argue: "It will only require the public key (which is public) to impersonate the server." The key piece here you are missing is that
if Bob steals Eve's public key, he won't have a matching private key, and authentication will fail.

If you don't think the private keys are important, go edit them on your server, and see how SSH'ing in goes for you.
That's a very misleading way of putting it. From your own article:

> In addition, Google does not know what products people bought.
> What's the difference now between online streaming providers and cable?

Have you ever even used cable? Online streaming is vastly superior.

You get to choose what you want to watch instead of watching whatever is on.

You can watch it on a much wider variety of devices than just your tv.

It’s much cheaper than cable.

TeX itself is Turing-complete, if not exactly an ideal language for computing things not directly related to typography.

But Lua(La)TeX exists, which allows for more user-friendly scripting in Lua (not my favourite language, but...), and I think that is the only real 'competitor' of (La)TeX.

I love Lisp, but the majority of what I write is in (La)TeX, and I don't know of anything comparable for dealing with creating and typesetting academic-type work. Most of its 'competitors' use TeX on the back-ends, and though I've tried writing more in Org mode and exporting to LaTeX, in the end for anything beyond trivial text, it's easier just to write directly in LaTeX.
Can you list those other methodologies used to value a company?
'Leave' actually received 1,269,501 more votes than 'Remain', which is quite a huge number out of a UK population of about 66m. Pretty sure that means FOUR out of every hundred votes would've needed to swap sides to just get us to a 50/50 split. That's really not the close contest it's made out to be.
The gains that Germany and France will make in EU oriented financials services will pale in comparison to the loss of a major trading partner.

Remember that the EU is becoming less and less important over time as a financial services market, even the UK's financial services sector has become less dependant on it over time.

The juicier fruit is in the rest of the world.

There's quite a lot of real trade between the EU-UK and that will hurt.

The EU obviously stands to benefit from a pretty strong deal with it's closest 'non EU' partner.

The reason we don't see it playing out so obviously I believe boils down to the other geopolitical factors at play - obviously there's a lot at play.

In other words, if the UK were just now approaching the EU for some kind of participation, without the baggage of the current 'leave' environment, I think we'd see a Canada++ type deal develop.
Unlike Oyster, you usually can't load "money" into ITSO cards. In Southampton you can load "journeys" or "season tickets" and I think the same in Bingley. I put journeys on my Southampton card because I don't use a bus for weeks at a time. But you do that by going to a web site with ID for the local card, there's no way that I've found to go "Er, I have a different ITSO card from somewhere else".

Clickbait title. This is a completely unsupported speculative hypothesis with no new data.
The google intent system makes it easy for apps to call other apps. Things like location -> map. Or need an barcode scan -> scanner pops up. Need an email -> email client pops up. Click on a movie and youtube or netflix pops up. So sure, people may think "I'll never need that apps" without realizing that it breaks opening that kind of file/website/link.

The bindings between intents or filetypes and the apps that open them is a rather common support issue across numerous platforms.

For whatever reason it's pretty common for users to think ... "I'll never need excel on this computer", but then be rather irate when they can't open an excel attachment.
Make no mistake, Apple is a multi-national megacorp just like Google and Microsoft, and is heavily influenced by shareholder sentiment. When push comes to shove, they will bow to political pressure, as exemplified by Tim Cook's praise for China's conference promoting "cyber-sovereignty" as "a digital economy for openness", and their ceding of China iCloud keys to China servers.
DDG’s “product” is a privacy centric search. Once they get big why would they throw their product away and become like the competition? That simply does not make any sense because the only reason why most people use them is the privacy aspect.

Good on Apple and DDG for realising that privacy has value and using that to grow their product.
>Look at Craigslist - terrible UI,

I love their UI. It's fast and does exactly what it needs to do, with the bonus that I don't have to download 12 js frameworks to look at a damn listing.
Useless comment.

Lasted 8 months at Snap, 20 years at Amazon. Something is clearly wrong with Snap, and it's their CEO.
Fair point. But if someone is likely to slack off when WFH, they pretty much can do the same at the office. It's a matter of discipline and productivity. I think one should be more concerned of managing the work (i.e. output) rather than the time or location.
>Your experience is extremely, curiously atypical.

The majority of programmers don't work for large companies. Many of the biggest employers employ in California, further skewing the data towards programmers not having to worry. About half of all states don't even have non-compete laws for programmers.

As such, I suspect your losing jobs by refusing to sign them is the atypical experience, not mine.

>Your resume shows you to be a perfect example of the 2nd assertion. You are a senior engineer....

I was once junior, with the same results...

>but your resume shows you took a Lead Programmer position in your very first year of full-time work.

Yep, negotiation, not experience, which is exactly my point. And I didn't take any job thrown at me, I worked carefully to move to a situation I wanted to be in. One can move themselves up career ranks much faster by learning how to sell themselves and to take risks, than by trying to follow the company playbook.

If you do what most people do, you will get the outcome most people get. To do differently, make consistent, concentrated effort to do things differently in the proper manner and time.

I've found more developers over my career are not advancing to where they want or getting what they want through lack of learning how to deal with negotiation. They too often think the rules are fixed and rewards a solely a function of their technical skill, both of which are false.

I've taught many interns at companies I've been at how to negotiate better, and many of them were able to get significant contract changes made on their very first job.

I've also have many developers ask how to move up/over, and when I recommend they take on new or harder projects as they're presented, those programmers shy away from the unknown to do what they know. Those types, fear of risk, don't move as fast or as far. I don't begrudge them, they prefer safety, but when they complain later in their career that they didn't go as far as someone that did do scary, out of comfort things, it's mostly their own choices.

>I still caution against concluding that this is how it works for everyone else as well.

I never thought it works this way for everyone, but in many cases, it's not the systems fault; it's the employees fault for not working the process smarter, and for not developing skills useful for dealing with people as much as they develop their technical skills.

Interviews are a sales process. Learning to sell is a very useful skill, at every level. I find few developers that have learned this and do it well.
Jesus. A picture sharing app bleeding 100 million a quarter sure sounds like a industry-wide valuation issue.

Glad I bailed on some SNAP interviews a few months back.

Are there going to be any issues with peak demand charges from utilities making fast charging cost prohibitive? I have to imagine that pulling that much power from the grid will either be very expensive or will require some grid upgrades to prevent issues.
On the other hand, in a bad economy, more people are likely to rent their extra rooms at lower costs, and whether vacationing or even living for short term, consumers are more likely to pay.

There is then the argument that such a time would quickly be bad for aurbnb bc the fees quickly cost more than the marketing or insurance are worth.
It's a little annoying if they're cherry-picking but does it really impact the validity of the results? If anything, I'd think they'd have a greater incentive to skew results if they were specifically testing a theory about DNA damage.

I'm not sure about the moat either. While planning a trip recently, I checked out Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and Homeaway.com for the same area. I found that Booking.com and Homeaway.com both had some of the same listings. So landlords are certainly trying to bypass the moat. (Homeaway.com is in fact co-hosting Airbnb listings through a partnership, but they're also apparently transitioning away from that to become a full-blown Airbnb competitor.)

I suspect the moat won't matter that much, since a consumer ultimately doesn't care about which service they end up booking with, as long as it seems trustworthy, and landlords have little reason to be loyal to one service when there's no downside to being non-exclusive.
> Perhaps not being able to deal with "yak shaving" is a sign of cognitive decline, but because the truth hurts, we say we don't have time for such things (e.g., I have no time to recompile a kernel! I just want a computer that works, give me a Mac!). In our youth, complexity was fun because we were able to takle it easily.

My first computer ran Windows XP. I was 12 years old at the time and was curious about learning how it worked. I messed around, broke the install, fixed it by using the rescue floppy. From my mistakes I learned quite a bit, as one tends to do.

About 6 years later, when I started using Linux and FreeBSD, once again I messed around a lot in order to learn about these operating systems and how things worked. And once again I learned from the mistakes that I made.

I have now been running Linux and FreeBSD almost exclusively for the past 10 years, and I will keep using these OSes for as long into the future as I can imagine, but...

When my systems break these days, it’s a chore. Because when something broke back when I was new to these things, it was an opportunity for learning. But if I render my system unbootable due to an oversight during system upgrade for example, there is really nothing new to learn from that anymore.

And that is what it boils down to for me, and why certain things made sense to spend time on before, whereas now those same things don’t.

I am willing to put in a lot of hours on something that will either earn me the right amount of money, teach me something new or better yet, both, but really it was always like that — I put in the time on certain things then that I won’t today because back then I still needed to learn about that thing.
