Not hardly, loads of these small rural communities predate automobiles and didn't have a train stop. These communities sprang up to support local farming and ranching in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Maybe if the big cities didn't rely so heavily on things made on farms and ranches, like cotton, grains, and livestock, less people would be inclined to live out there.

Knowing those types, they love the rural life and wouldn't want to live in the big city, with all its big city problems.
There's no immediate [5yr horizon] automation coming to solve this. Human home care workers will be needed [and more of them]; it's in a category of jobs that not even machines want.
Apache will only protect the particular implementation, viz. LLVM.

It does open the door for gcc to inadvertently develop similar functionality and get sued. Not that there's, afaik, a cleanroom implementation of Swift.
>And it's sickening that Google's done nothing about it.

So all of us should be handheld on YT because of your son? No thanks. Violence should be allowed. The problem is at your end.
Yeah, but the issue there was more moral than legal: fragmentation undermined the java story of write once, run everywhere. Key to java's success.
Why would consolidation result in a lower capacity? All that's happening is bigger companies becoming bigger while a mix of gov policy and market forces during downturns squeezes out the little guys. Which is standard practice in modern state-capitalist societies.
The ownership of land by value is more unequally distributed than the ownership of capital. Capital depreciates and needs to be regularly replaced each generation. The wealthy have never needed robots to live a life of plenty; they can extract as much labor power as they need through rent.

I love ads that give me relevant new information.

Linus tech tips is a great example of this. Some of his reviews are paid sponsorships, however the info is still relevant.

Same goes for Casey neistats review of the diji drones.

The location of the server is a factor??
A very small subset of firms generate almost all the industry cash returns.
but then THAT should be the real story, why did the journalist stop digging?

it's also pretty hard to imagine it's worth the effort, you still need to advertise so people know about your service! the service would have suspiciously similar dishes advertised in menus corresponding to original restaurants etc... the unsuspecting customer gets to open the door for a Deliveroo person! there's just so many ways this would go wrong in the real world that it doesnt make sense to invest time and effort in MitM'ing Deliveroo from a limited set of compromised accounts...

This all indicates the fraud is happening from within Deliveroo
I have mixed feelings about this.

Sharing database abstractions between the client and the server might make sense for some applications, but I worry it might often be a code smell. I used to believe in the dream of sharing models between the client and server, but that illusion was shattered on first contact with reality. With that said, I'm still open to having my mind changed. I think meteor [0] set out with a similar goal, if not more ambitious, and it doesn't appear to have done very well.

The limitations are pretty severe, since you're basically targeting the lowest common denominator. You cannot reduce the inherent complexity of the problem which these databases set out to solve without sacrificing functionality. My thoughts on this have been all over the place, but lately I've been leaning towards adopting fewer abstraction layers. At some point you'll be forced to actually understand each underlying system anyway, and by designing your data models with a specific database in mind you can leverage all of its features to maximum effect in order to achieve optimal performance.

It might be useful to review Django's ORM design for ideas and inspiration, as they also implement the data mapper pattern. You should consider copying Django's migration commands [1] as well.

The following refers mostly to server databases, but some of it can apply to client databases as well. You probably shouldn't be running migrations automatically, especially in production. We're all human and mistakes happen, but there are steps you can take to reduce their potential impact, if not eliminate them entirely within certain processes. Running migrations outside of peak hours reduces the chance you'll bump into performance problems and that it'll affect users. Always create a snapshot or backup before running migrations, data loss is never acceptable! When a user trusts you with their data it's your responsibility to handle it with immense care.

This tool doesn't help with the more challenging problems related to schema management. Zero-downtime migrations are the industry standard. There's a large set of common migration operations which require a full table lock unless they're written with deliberate care so as to avoid those pitfalls. Sever-side migrations must always be done in lock-step, with fully backwards-compatible code capable of handling both versions during a transition. Client-side applications are usually expected to remain largely fully compatible with both backwards and future changes.

> In some sense, this makes sense since I bet the overlap of power users and people with ad blockers is pretty high.

Maybe you should speak for yourself? I do not run ad blockers (much less anything targeting Google ads!) and the experience I get as a power user on Google services is no better than anyone else's - although, to be fair, it's not noticeably worse, either. (And mind you, the average ad supplier on the Internet is a hell of a lot shadier than Google, Facebook or any of the big "household name" tech companies!) I'm sure that plenty of other people here can confirm my POV.

Google's trouble engaging with power users as of late is entirely self-inflicted. There's quite simply zero doubt about that.
Americans hate hate hate public transit. If you are “successful”, you show it by having a car.
Transit stations are almost always in the worst location, because a good location has such high land value it’s financially impossible to justify just a public transit station.

Also, Unlike japan where stations can also be commercial spaces resulting in both revenue and making the transit location super popular, in the us transit locations of course have to be public land and government can’t be seen profitable leasing out said land (unless it’s for a sports team :p)

Why? I’m surprised at the downvotes I got on my original comment.

The Dropbox online cancellation, like many others, is a deceptive, tricky option designed to make you think that you cancelled when you did not to rip you off. Dropbox isn’t unusual.

Why is a phone call so evil? It’s bizarre to me that a arguably marginal inconvenience is more noxious than active trickery.
You can cut your binary size almost in half on Linux by removing debug information and symbols with:

The thing is that Linus has been pretty visionary about when it comes to the state of the internet and creators and when YouTube first started shafting creators he began to look for an alternative way to monetise his content. That's why he weathered the whole BS-carousel around advertising on YouTube pretty well.

He's built a brand based on sponsorships inside the tech industry, a brand where they take care to only lend their name to brands and products that are worth it. I would wager they put a lot of work into selecting what paid product features to do or not. There still is a bit of a difference between sponsored spots in their videos and general upset about the internet advertising industry, however.

I will always gave him a lot of credit for that. It's not possible for all creators to do the same, but the ones that can should follow his example for everyone's benefit.
Thanks for sharing your personal opinion about videos you've never watched.
What a piece of reverse psychology/propaganda.

The agenda of the so called "Davos Elite" is to maintain the status quo. Because that is all they know what to control. Automation and AI and the future unknown unknowns scares them to hell.
The "world continually gets better over time" is historically a relatively new concept. There are many periods in human history where things have significantly worsened. As they say in finance - past performance is not indicative of future results.
I'd move from the US to Switzerland in a heartbeat if they'd let me in.

Tesla Patent Application Describes New GPS Positioning Technology
I hate to be trollbait, but: "the Unix way" is less about the size of programs, and more about programs being built as composable, modular components that interact together over a common interface.

Curious people can read more about it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy or https://homepage.cs.uri.edu/~thenry/resources/unix_art/ch01s...

The websocketd site outlines this fairly well with the big quote on their homepage.

Looked at another way, a Unix-like ecosystem satisfies two of the principles of a SOLID software architecture: the Single Responsibility Principle and (arguably) the Open-Closed Principle.

If websocketd focuses on handling the nuts and bolts of websocket connections and invoking other programs and piping data into and out of them over a standard interface, then it's a Unix-like architecture, even if it's a fat, monolithic, statically linked binary.

This article is missing a huge factor: aperture. If you go higher than f/11 the debris will start to get much more visible. All of the pictures in here are at f/5.6 or less.

Each pixel basically takes a weighted average of all the light that travels from a pixel-sized area in the world to the lens. As the picture with the dark area shows, this makes the debris form a dark area over a large part of the image. As the f number increases, the weighting gets stronger until 100% of it is a single line from scene to lens to pixel. At this theoretical f/infinity, you'll see all the lens's imperfections in perfect detail since the camera is essentially a pinhole.

Could gdpr endanger sites like this? Actually curious
It doesn’t make up for it if you’re dead, and even if you gain a boat load of minutes in some twisted sense, dying early still leaves loved ones grieving and bereaved all the same.

Sometimes I wish we as people weren’t so self-destructively impatient. I’m not trying to single you out here, and I’m far from innocent, but really, what kind of world do we live in where we decide we’d rather DIE EARLY than sit in traffic? Why not just move? There are so many more options.

Lol, Davos. I'm pretty sure they had a meeting in the early 2000s where they worried we'd all be grey goo by now.
Ohh I see, okay thanks. Surprising but cool!
Try to get normal people to pay to use Facebook and your theory would be disproven. Of course users prefer no ads! But most users prefer free a whole lot more.
Thanks to the pointer to Bret Victor's video on Inventing on Principle. Nice to see you brought some of his concepts into SCRIPT-8.
I agree that none of this is making any sense. They would have to advertise the service, and every single customer might report the service when he ens up accepting his food from a DELIVEROO guy! It's simply not sustainable, the hassle is not worth the effort etc... I think there was no "credential stuffing" involved, it's just to make customer feel guilty. Note how the article ends with an agreement they reached to jointly publish a statement (portraying the event as caused reckless password reuse), perhaps Deliveroo hopes to construe this common agreement to the statement as admision on the side of the journalist "if only I had used a different password".

To me all this suggests the fraud is happening within Deliveroo, at a level above the delivery people.

The only credential fraud outside of Deliveroo I can envision is if the black hat hackers contact the restaurants to conspire, the food is then never made but the profit is shared...
Thanks for sharing, I will avoid them for sure. I periodically get tempted.

One of the problems with that is that the politicians are now dependant on facebook to promote themselves.

Where I live there is a ban on political ads on TV and I hope it's extended to facebook pages and general internet ads too. But since those in charge are addicted it's probably not going to happen until facebook shafts them directly in some way.
This is the second or third "it's CGI again" thing I've seen in the past year. While these things are cool and definitely have their place, it's still worth noting that process per connection scales fairly poorly, simply because processes and forking are relatively expensive, and therefore it's probably unwise to deploy something like this in production anymore. It is what it is, I suppose.

Your solution(s) is at least 1000x funnier and more beautiful than than R. H. Hardin's.

Every one of his solutions starts with, "This sentence" and ends with a semi-predictable `permutation`.

Your manual solution-interestingness-validation step, paired with its chaotic letter-space-fitness-searcher-generator (c), gave more interesting word combos. Way cool! Thanks!

Your ability to work more freely within the same word space shows you have a better grasp of the spatial information density, and you've put together a better handle on solving it.

Like you said though, "the space of possible solutions is truly astronomical."

I think the only reason why this is even possible or remotely effective is that you can, in parallel, do high depth searches on a machine. One would be dead in the water without a searchlight, having to find a solution at any more primitive a level.

But, I wonder if you could operationalize other things with an algorithm for this search space and put it into a library which would have multiple dependent packages, solving many use cases.

I'd imagine this work could adapt to other geometric, high-depth, higher-value searchable spaces. It seems similar to Markov-chain Monte Carlo, "pre-mined" / "rainbow tabled"... it has multiple solutions.

Perhaps a good palce to start would be in constructing these lookup tables using lexicographical matrices, from a dictionary. I believe Rust has a powerful library to do this https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray

Looks like this is called matrix-notated, linear prediction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_predictor_function#Matr...

It seems that developers out there are thinking about complex probabilstic data structures, ie https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/ailgpb/ann_matrix_exp... , so I bet these might even start combining soon.. what a matrix of possibilities, right?

My pessimistic view is that nothing will fix SF or California in the near future because California's housing mess has been a slow moving continual disaster since the late 60s-early 70s.

> People don’t work a coal face because it’s fun, but because it’s what they know how to do, and it brings home the bacon.

Far more than that, coal workers take pride in their work, it's part of their identity and it commands a certain degree of respect as being "hard labor". If it was just about "bringing home the bacon" they might as well take any other job.

This is in contrast to working for Wal-Mart or McDonalds, there's no pride in it, it's not part of people's identity. People want to move on from these jobs, but there are less and less opportunities to move on to.

> So if you want people to do more than spit on us as we pass, we should put effort into ensuring a safety net for them when the work we domtskes their livliehood away.

A safety net is well and good, but if people lose their jobs and get stuck in the net, it destroys them. Again, it's about pride and identity.
Surely the easiest thing is to allow genuine permanent residents of Akwesasne - on either side of the border - to apply for some kind of special permit that allows them to just self-report their entry and exit over the phone.
Can we all get smarter? Children easily become experts at any modern device. If we automate everything and pour resources into cheap and scalable education could we make the majority of the population into information workers? Just a thought.
I certainly don’t mean to discount the importance of metadata. I specifically mentioned ensuring Signal fits your threat model.

To suggest that metadata of communication over Signal between my spouse and I will be used against my grand kids one day is a bit absurd though. Of course there’s tons of metadata connecting my spouse and I. It would be more suspicious if there wasn’t.
It's certainly an issue, especially now with wasm: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/27266

It's not the unlikelihood of you having employed it. It's the likelihood of you having employed it and that not having the results your 21st century self might assume that it generates.

So maybe 2 decades ago people bandied it about like they meant it and then still unironically said things like "I didn't like that movie, it was gay."

That's generally not how things go. I don't know the details of this exact thing, but generally there will be two "very yes" responses, a "kinda yes", a "kinda no", and to "very no". You throw out all the "kinda"s and pay attention to the "very"s. 25% "very no" is a serious black eye, it's probably like 60% "kinda"s.
