To somewhat further your point, take a look at /r/greentext and /r/4chan. While the posts themselves are only somewhat racist, the comments that accompany them are disgustingly edgy and juvenile - they're not being downvoted however. I don't think anything is likely to be done to these subreddits.
Yep. You can either write code for it or use Radar to block the charge by fingerprint (write a rule once in your Stripe dashboard to block cards on a blocklist, add a fingerprint to the list when you identify an abusive customer, done). This lets you block a card without ever contaminating yourself with knowledge of its number (we expose the fingerprint in a variety of places to you, like API responses or on the charge detail page in the Dashboard).

Ludwig Wittgenstein - mainly Philosophical Investigations, Blue and Brown Books, and On Certainty. It gradually changed how I view the entire world around me, and dissolved my interest in philosophy, as well as in many other "sciency" things that - I realized - I was only interested in because of implicit metaphysical interpretations that ultimately stemmed out of conceptual confusion.

At some point you'd think they'd expect them to make a profit though. At what point do the venture capitalists say 'screw this, it's not working' and let some of these 'unicorns' crash and burn?
Mindset, by Carol Dweck. Highly Recommended. The fact that any skill can be learnt provided you work hard for it really impacted me. Also, it was one of the first books I read, which normalized the importance of hard-work - forever different after reading that book.
You're just basing your view of what's fair on time spent working/physical labor. If you base your view of what's fair on skillsets, and what one person can do, and what one person can not, it makes more sense.
I imagine they’re trying to encourage code splitting.
I believe that I am on some level OCD and like things to be nice and neat but I think the the push that some people have for these linear histories on git take things way too far. It could be that I'm OCD on the other side of this in that I don't want to do things that modify or attempt to hide the messy realities of distributed development. I do merges, never squash, never rebase, and my tree may be busy but it's easy to follow. A linear history in my opinion only really works for small projects where development is actually linear.
Reddit is ~1 year younger than Facebook, and ~1 year older than Twitter.
>mass market rubbish

Yep, that describes so much of what's popular.

One book I find goes in the opposite direction--I didn't get much from it when younger, but when I revisited it as a grown man, I suddenly saw a lot more value in it: The Bible. Which is about as far from "mass market rubbish" as you can get, considering quite a lot of it was written by people who were persecuted, tortured, and killed for writing it!
Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius.

Right. So, Article 13 apparently requires prescreening material. That's specifically why people are up in arms.

Everyone is pretty much on board with the necessity for providers to take down content in response to infringement reports, albeit with a side argument about how current implementations of this favour big money over small creators.
Their mobile interface takes ages (several seconds on a bad mobile connection!) to load and keeps pestering you about using the App.

I'm glad they keep their old mobile interface (https://i.reddit.com) which loads instantaneous. Unfortunately some links redirect you to the new interface, which is when I just close the site.
Of all the books I read - fiction and non fiction, wonderful ideas in SF and Carl Sagan - I'd have to single out Selfish Gene, as it single-handedly changed my perspective and mental/internal framework of the universe. I struggled philosophically with questions of consciousness and our place & meaning in the universe.

Note that I cannot always wholeheartedly, universally recommend all his later philosophical / atheism books to a wider audience, Selfish Gene is a no-brainer to me.

I think it’s particularly important for Uber because their typical first-time user has an immediate need and is away from home. If the app takes too long to download over cellular data or random airport WiFi then they’ve likely lost a customer to the competition.

I was going to suggest a some of those.

Dawkins: A lot of really interesting things in life are really weird and puzzling, such as sex. Literature and religion try to elucidate it, but fail to get to the bottom of it. The insights popularised by Dawkins really make a lot of sense of it.

Pinker: Absolutely. There is this notion that things were much better in the past. These books shred it to pieces. It's also worth looking at Pinker's Enlightenement Now, and Julian Simon's The State of the World, though that has a lot of libertarian propaganda in it. However, the statistics are sound.

Taleb: Not a huge fan of Taleb. The point about the role of chance is much better made, in my view, by Robert H. Frank in his Success and Luck: Good Fortune and the Myth of Meritocracy.

It definitely was down for me during the Superbowl - I checked periodically throughout the broadcast and each time was met with a "reddit servers are currently down" with the reddit teletubby logo thing.

On top of the Amazon answer, I think you're sometimes able to get it off of Modernist Pantry [1].

It just depends on which generation. Remember the 1960s were an aberration, not the norm. A lot of people grew up 13 to a 1000-sq-foot rowhome in Baltimore closer to 1900. I'm not in any way suggesting this desirable, just that the idea that you'd have a huge 4000k home is fairly modern, and probably not sustainable.
The "well regulated capitalist environment" of which you speak is the fantasy. It has never existed.

What could exist is a world based on economic democracy, where no one becomes rich or powerful and everyone has to work together because society is structured to prevent anyone from taking power for themselves.

An economy where the stock corporation is replaced by the worker cooperative -- still an independent business operating in a free market of goods and services, but governed democratically by its workers -- would be much closer to that reality. No one would be able to amass much personal power. And any power amassed would always be held in check by the democratic structures that granted it. A world like that would do a much better job of preventing the accumulation of personal wealth way beyond need.
A few of my teammates at SendGrid have been following the situation, and we definitely feel for the engineers who are scrambling to fix the problem. It's never fun to get paged, especially when the trust of your customers on the line.

Some folks on the email thread were personally involved in handling major outages in the early days. We've had to learn a lot of hard lessons since then. Even when everything seems like it's going fine ("wow, we're growing so fast, good problems!"), scaling issues could be right around the corner.

Anyone with a large enough installation of Postgres could've had the wraparound issue we're seeing right now. That's why it's important to monitor for what could go wrong, detect these issues early, and provide customers with rapid communication so they can plan around it.

Sending our best wishes to the MailChimp engineering teams working on the problem right now. Good luck, you've got this!

Yes I agree and the recent report on the CIA shows some evidence for that [1].

This I have a harder time believing, and besides this article, I didn't know of any evidence.

Red Hat Introduces CodeReady Workspaces – Cloud In-Browser IDE
It's pretty well documented.

If you are just using Electron "off the shelf" to host your web app it's generally `npm install` the updated binary, test, and deploy.

Sometimes an Electron-only API changes, but that's pretty rare and most of them aren't "mission critical" if they break. That's always documented well in the release notes and the API and Electron for the most part seems to follow a "deprecate for a version ahead" pattern that you should have plenty of warning.

If you are using native libraries is where things get complicated. At that point you are likely building your own Electron binary, and need to find updated versions of your libraries that support the upgrade NodeJS and/or Chromium versions. Most of that is the same documentation whether or not Electron was in the project, check the related documentation for the appropriate NodeJS and/or Chromium versions, rebuild as needed using the usual tools.
Stephen Covey 7 Habits. Not so much the habits themselves, but rather the ideas presented. Specifically: principle-centered life, character ethic vs. personality ethic, circle of concern and circle of influence, etc.
Very cool. We're facing this common problem where endpoint consumers go query-happy with GraphQL seeing as it is so easy to pull a large amount of data (or trigger a large number of operations).

It is currently very unclear how much load is being caused by the "convenience" of data-based queries. Having the ability to articulate and limit these expensive operations via policy would be incredibly helpful in not only shaping internal behaviour but also in exposing services to broader audiences.

Curious what others in the community have done to hack something similar in place?
On one end of the spectrum is Blu Homes (https://www.bluhomes.com/) which builds pre-fabricated homes that aren't quite so boxy as mobile homes. We looked at investing in them when they started up and perhaps getting one of their smaller units for a piece of land up in the Sierra foothills[1].

Shipping container homes are also a sort of niche thing at the moment. Realistically though it isn't the walls that cost the money on a house, its all the stuff that goes in the walls :-) (wiring, pipes, insulation, Etc.)

From an extreme perspective you have the Broad Group in China who was building pre-fab skyscrapers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_City_(Changsha)) that would house a thousand families.

He's comparing back to 2000's, but lenses used to be much much heavier. I have an all-metal Pentax zoom from the 80's that weights over 600g [1].

I believe the U curve he's seeing reflects the process of DSLRs transitioning from being an equipment restricted to professionals, getting popular during the 90's/2000's (pressuring manufacturers to produce cheaper, more lightweight lenses), and finally transitioning back to professional equipment, as cellphones and smaller cameras picked up on image quality.

I think neural networks will be part of the solution, but they are probably not the entire answer.

> which prevents email delivery from compliant Danish email servers.

Any email server which validates that the remote host name matches the cert will be be very sad. Doesn't matter if it's compliant (to what btw?), in practice email server owners are sloppy.
Sure. But the market is a good proxy. Investors are betting billions that people don’t care about privacy and so far that bet has been good
Reddit often goes "down" in that the front page is kept functional but trying to go to the comments page or interact with anything will cause it to 503.
I realize that. I'm saying they're not actually solving the problem, nor are they improving their image. In some cases, sure the customer has been wronged and a replacement should be sent. But that's only half the solution, and the less important half at that. More importantly, they have to find a way to prevent that problem from happening again so they don't alienate the much larger group of people who will never complain but will simply switch brands.

How much of the conclusions drawn from these investigative techniques are justified entirely by analytic chemistry, and how much goes beyond that? Using an example from a related article, there's a substantial difference between being able to say what's the chemical element composition of a particular bullet and being able to identify the particular manufacturing facility and batch it came from. The latter relies on a whole lot of assumptions about the ammunition industry.
I agree with you I think.

I took it as more an anti-authoritarian story than purely anti-capitalist or anti-communist. The anti-capitalist parts are fairly self-evident, at least to me: that's the rather brutal system the farmer has imposed on the animals at the start.

Booting the farmer out and starting again with the animal-owned collective sets the story up for the real message, which is that power corrupts and it is very easy for anyone attracted to power to co-opt legitimate grievance for their own ends. The return of the farmer brings a nice circularity to the story as well as giving the idea that the imposition of will on others is usually to their detriment. Capitalism or communism are basically indistinguishable to everyone existing without power or influence.
I think one book that changed a lot was the Qur'an - it made me an atheist. I don't come from a muslim background but it made me realize, how some religions (well at least the abrahamitic ones) came to be.
That sounds like a pretty workable arrangement in a small 1 bedroom apartment. Bedroom for the office and living room for the bed/everything else works too. I probably would prioritize that work/play separation more than the sleep/tv separation.
It's completely possible to have a "modern" page that is also nice to use; it's just that with Reddit modernness and horribleness have been conflated together and it seems like they go together.
Which is what popular setup like create-react-app and alikes are against. It doesn't make too much sense for more heavy application like interactive editors to have multiple artificially split files just to conform with this limit.
That's how you get Venezuela though. Good luck with that.

> Exemption 9: Geological information on wells.

That one at the end seems interesting. I wonder how that got added in there as such a specific item and not as part of a broader category of sensitive information...I would think if wells were sensitive information, then so would mineral deposits and other natural resources, possibly falling under either exemption 3 or 4:

> Exemption 3: Information that is prohibited from disclosure by another federal law.

> Exemption 4: Trade secrets or commercial or financial information that is confidential or privileged.
> The runner up, USA, has 15 restaurants with twice the population.

I believe I read that Michelin doesn't really evaluate most of the USA as part of its starring guide. For example, this [1] indicates that LA is not in the coverage area for the Michelin star system. Smaller cities like Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Las Vegas, etc. are therefore invisible despite having tons of people in aggregate. (Apparently the size of geographic regions and cost are factors.)

Would be interesting to see the US ratio compared with population in the cities actually covered here.

Book Excerpt: The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells
Having a kid back then was a huge investment, no? The mother is weaker for half a year, eats more and could die in childbirth
If I had to guess, technology in the future will enable us to get there (maybe artificial meat or something). Then future generations will look back at us and judge us hard.
Pregnant wife and a toddler so my home time is skewed. Up before 6 to play with the kid, make breakfast, load of laundry, load of dishes, etc. Bus around 8:30, at work around 9. Work til 4:30, skipping lunch every other day. Then 30 mins back, errands, cooking dinner and finally relaxing around 6. Play with the kid til I put her down around 7:30 to 8:30. Hang out with the wife until she goes to bed around 10.

This is when my second shift starts. I pick up the kid's area, clean the kitchen, dishes, laundry, and whatever other stuff is left over. After that I do another 2 to 4 hours of work depending on when things are due, late to the bus, early to leave because of family stuff. In bed somewhere between 1am and 4am.

I keep track of my life in todo lists. Got a notebook and a pen within arm's reach at any given time. Zero Inbox/Bullet Journal/GTD my entire life, work and personal. I also naturally do sort of a pomodoro technique with everything. Breaking it down into smaller parts so I can cover as much space as possible. Cleaning the kitchen turns into two separate tasks (dishes, and cleanup) which I then inject 10 minutes with the wife or kid in between. It probably adds more time to my overall day, but I can't push their schedules later and I need to get work done so I can't push my duties to later either.

The other "trick" is I've never needed a lot of sleep so I can do stuff later at night once everyone is in bed. Sleep on the bus, or whenever I have a free moment.

My previous job was within biking distance so that was my health management. Now I have to ride the commuter bus so I'll have to figure something out once the 2nd kid comes.
