Not even close. There is no network layer firewalling. Private platforms have kicked off offensive and BS content mostly to protect their market value to the majority of users.
Not peddling, just offering insight from someone who has experience in this field. Sure no one can time the market, but they can use techniques to assist in their decision making.

If you're an American, the number isn't 10%. 32% of Americans have a 401k. So 32% are investing and a solid portion let their 401k management bank make decisions for them/go by the typical advice given, by bank reps, of "aggressive portfolio when you're young" (majority stocks), "moderate when you reach middle age" (mix of stocks and treasury bonds), "conservative when you're older" (mostly treasury bonds).

If you're younger and signs are pointing to the market crashing within a year or two, your management bank is going to advise on this and tell investors to move their money to cash (if there's even a cash option) or to treasury bonds. No, it's up to the investor to make a decision based on their own research/reading of the signs. Hell, these banks even use dark patterns to make it more difficult for investors to manually control their own portfolio, leading to users giving up on finding or thinking that they can't manage their portfolio and leave it up to the banks to do so.

There are signs for when things aren't going so well and things are going to take a turn for the worst soon. Certain indicators can help with gauging this. No where near being 100% accurate, maybe 52% accurate, but that's still an edge. On top of certain indicators, monitoring quarterly GDP, yield curve rates, unemployment rates, home owners rates, among other stats, help to show what lies ahead. If one can get out some months before a crash, then great, it's likely that they didn't get out at the peak of the market cycle, but at least they likely saved their 401k from a 20% drop. And in the case that they did move to a cash option at the peak, then they likely saved themselves from a loss of between 40%-60%. If cash isn't an option, then likely saved around a 35-40% loss.

Investing blindly isn't a good strategy no matter how one looks at it, but learning what to look and monitoring periodically can help in preventing catastrophic losses

10 may be a stretch for many. 15 to 20 years should be achievable by many tech workers.

Once you hit your number, work gets pretty depressing. You realize you're making more from passive investing, just doing nothing.
I'm surprised to hear of so many issues. Like the other commenter, I have used a couple of them for everything from home automation and network storage, to an openwrt router.

I worry a bit about the SD cards (especially with the zero, which is really being overworked), but overall I haven't really had any issues.
Hyper-deflationary? Didn't it have 300% inflation last year?

It's designed to be deflationary, i.e. it's designed to MOOOOON and make the early speculators rich. But, like most things in cryptocurrency, that's failed miserably. We now have hyperinflation instead.

>Parents aren't going to monitor their kids 24/7.

It's not about monitoring your kids 24/7. It's about instilling values in them precisely so they can monitor themselves. This is what differentiates good upbringing and clueless parenting looking for scapegoats.
Like many things climate related there is a significant lag-time, in human terms. As stated in the article the implication is that if humanity survives the climate crisis it could take centuries to undo the damage to the oceans. However it is much more likely acidification will cause a trophic collapse and kill off the sea life before that were to occur- we have already lost around half of the base of our aquatic food chain, phytoplankton, since 1950: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/ocean-p...

There are widespread problems with sea birds dying of vitamin B1 deficiency, for which phytoplankton are a source, indicating this collapse is already in motion: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6196476/

That technical capability is an essential precursor to building a clone of the great firewall. After that, the censorship is just a matter of adding firewall rules.

What's the value in protecting the domestic internet from a cyber attack? Critical national information services absolutely, but if Reddit goes down, it's not a matter of national emergency. The conceit COULD be for disseminating information, but a text message system would make more sense in that regards, plus good old fashioned TV and Radio.

> In its 2018 annual graduate report, the summary table on page 2 shows that for the total 6,960 students graduated in 2018, 16.5% chose to pursue further studies overseas, while 28.5% chose to continue in Chinese universities for a higher degree.

I wouldn't expect this to correlate with opinions of "western culture and products". There are a whole lot of reasons why you'd choose to stray in your country vs going oversees. For instance, how easy is it to get a US visa vs just staying in your native country?

Okay, but that's an even worse idea than what I've seen Redux used for. Now you're splitting the UI between client and server in a completely custom way, that adds even more complexity. Worse, the performance is likely to be worse because now you're paying the bulk JS load cost of loading Redux AND the latency cost of loading small parts as you go: the worst of both worlds. I doubt this is what the Redux folks had in mind, but if it was, it's even worse than I thought.
I recently switched from lastpass to locally kept keepass passwords database and I am using https://keepassxc.org/ client as it supports many operating systems.

It's not as comfortable as lastpass but it gives me a control of where do I store that data, how do I keep backups etc.
I can't really recommend that setup, I am keep experimenting myself.

I had the opposite experience from the author of the article. It must have been because I valued my family time over my working time.

When my son was in high school I went from full time employee to part time contractor. It was great. Since there was a clear contract I didn't have to worry about office politics or my off-work time. I focused on working hard while working and I focused on my family when not working. I took every summer off-work.

Next.js is some over-engineered thing without a proper use case.

If Next.js was good in SEO, nextjs.org would rank well on the search query 'react ssr' but you know what, it couldn't even rank within the top 10. There's nothing, no nextjs dot org, just a Medium article below the fold. Just want to see your face after you convinced your management and your entire team to move to Next and facing how your organic search volume is nosediving...

This whole thing is pure content marketing paired with forum spamming to get people converted to Zeit's products. I am bit surprised that not more 'real users' defend Next.js here, seems like just some maintainers/contributors could show up worshipping Next. This is all too obvious and maybe young devs fall into your trap.

Btw, I know what JSX is capable of and I prefer it over many things but it's not about JSX or pug or whatever. Next.js is abusing a powerful lib/framework for SSR and templating. SSR is much more, e.g. proper routing, read the thread, Next doesn't get routing (the #1 req of SSR) right and wants to do SSR? Sure.

Infinite scroll, showing the details, clicking back sometimes doesn't bring me back to where I left off. Same when scrolling horizontally for example on the New releases I'll have to start scrolling right again after click on the details.

Honestly, your website is probably the best implementation of a SPA website with multiple pages I have ever seen I can recollect. It still has quirks though. I just don't see why you would want to make a website like this a SPA.

Does that help a little? I wrote this quick, off the top of my head. I can try and provide more details maybe in an email or some other communication means too.
I'm excluding the most active users, not the most popular things, so I think it would behave quite naturally. It just wouldn't have input from the obsessives. I agree it's unlikely to happen though.
Also spies is really an overarching term and means shedloads of different things in reality.

I mean if you break it down in the simplest way possible (for example what the public see on TV and call a spy), what they are seeing is various people who are:

-Handler

-Agent

-Agent of influence

-Analyst

-Mobile Surveillance Officer

-Tech officer

etc etc etc

I think it doesn't help that the second half of the book ... especially in "Further confessions..." it dives into shamanism and so on. It's almost like he handed his critics a script with which to discredit the rest of what he has to say.

I'm not saying I agree with that line of attack; it just feels like an own-goal.
I still haven't seen any evidence these are faked, or anyone reasonably assert they're unusual sentiments.

Could you explain what you mean by this?

My intuition here is that what you're saying is true in a trivial sense, but that most state CAN BE (and should be) local if you're breaking your programs into reasonable building blocks.

You can bring a friend (or two) and they can buy one also. I'm in San Diego and last time I drove back from Northern California I just stopped by (it's in Tustin) with my wife and picked up 2. If you need many then of course it doesn't work. I don't think there is any rule about you going back in another day either, although I guess if you went everyday they might notice. They didn't take down any information when I bought them, they just handed them to me.
Reading the document really gives a feeling the author is not being honest on why they chose Swift.

The lack of windows support is addressed in just two lines. Julia being an already established language in the domain of data science does not seem to be especially important to them.

I think the most honest part of the document is:

> because we were more familiar with its [Swift's] internal implementation details
So you're suggesting "storage device" here isn't the same thing as "storage medium"? i.e. that merely transferring the data to a volatile buffer on the device is also considered being transferred to the "storage device", rather than to the (nonvolatile) storage medium?

By that logic even after a successful call you can't rely on the data being persisted, which goes squarely against the entire point of the function and its documentation: "The fsync() function is intended to force a physical write of data from the buffer cache, and to assure that after a system crash or other failure that all data up to the time of the fsync() call is recorded on the disk."

So this interpretation is wrong...

Quitting is "enough" to signal a myriad of things, but it just doesn't communicate any particular thing with any reliability. People quit for lots of personal reasons. "Fuck you" means they quit for outrage. Saying "I'm outraged" may presumably communicate the same thing, but as it does in notably tepid manner, it really does not.

FTA: "Eventually the Russian government wants all domestic traffic to pass through these routing points. This is believed to be part of an effort to set up a mass censorship system akin to that seen in China, which tries to scrub out prohibited traffic."
Same place your grandparents were when dad was hiding adult mags or the topless polaroids of girlfriend under the mattress or watching 4th gen copy videos of some 18 horror film with friends. I had fairly old-school strict parents and still managed to get around supervision. ;p

I'm going to hazard a guess you don't have kids. Short of bringing up children in a panopticon that gives no privacy, ever, and continual spot checks of what apps and usage, or a feature phone only until 18, what do you expect? Watch over shoulder the entire time they use a device? Bolt down the home router and rely on network 18+ limiting, and they can still use their friend's or Costa's wifi.

I might prefer to limit younger children from access, I can advise and try and give them a degree of common sense, and advise against blind trust. I can't as a parent prevent them doing some very daft things. It's part of the rite of passage of every teen.

I'd aim to be supportive enough that they can come to me when they fuck up for support and help. I can't in good conscience blame other parents for every lapse.

> What makes you think there is a campaign against him or just that he simply isn't that popular

Because his policies are virtually never mentioned, he’s being attacked for made-up allegations instead. This very fact that, as you point out, his policies are not discussed in the media is why people think there’s a smear campaign against him. People wish the press would engage him on policy grounds. As for the borrowing specifically, when this policy was initially proposed by McDonnell, it was made abundantly clear that this would involve large-scale borrowing. See e.g. this article in the Economist: https://www.economist.com/buttonwoods-notebook/2017/05/16/ol...

On a more political note, whether this large-scale borrowing is a good idea is obviously worth discussing. But it would almost certainly be more popular than the Tories’ continued twin policies of privatisation and austerity, which, besides being phenomenally unpopular, is largely based on bad science, to boot.

No? It says "all data for the open file descriptor", not "all data for all open file descriptors".
My problem isn't that isn't novel or new, it is that it is presented as novel. Visualization is great (and the visualization here looks good), but saying things like 'datashader: turn data into images' when that is literally what rendering is, is a nonsense way to approach a valid topic.

Saying 'visualize big data and billions of points' when the buzzwords are just there to sugar coat an accumulation buffer, gets into a territory of reinventing the wheel but naming it 'the flattened infinite curvature hypersphere'.

So, before you get too self righteous at least realize that it is the delivery and lack of context and precedent, not the actual work that is the problem.
While I agree with most of your post, I'd disagree with the term freelancer/consultant.

Where I live, too many low quality people offer to be "consultants". It's the equivalent of a suit; while it's a way to look professional, it can also look sketchy.

I find that being a "freelancer" appears a little friendlier and also lands projects with more friendly pricing and deadlines.

At what point in your data pipeline do you check that your data adhears to constraints on it? Is it embedded in the code that performs the ingestion, at the point of the analysis or, prehaps, do you have a utility that allows you to view data in your database that do not conform to constraints on it?
> How can that be possible? The DNS lookup takes longer than that and you still haven't even gotten to your site.

Me too. But if you ever did marketing landing pages for products you might know that one landing page is not enough. You need thousands which match to Ad Word campaigns or which are optimized to different SEO fields, domains and whatever. While you still could manage this with Next and nice components, Next's subpar routing might be an obstacle.

I recently started a hobby project and initially went with a JS solution. But when I had to start deciding on auth, maybe an orm, routing, db layer, and templating, I said fuck it and installed Rails.

Previously I had never built a real product in Rails, only the book store tutorial. I'm really happy with Rails so far. I don't have to worry about a lot of shit I had to worry about in JS land and now I can focus on the app itself.

I specifically said medicare... also, I meant medicare. If there's a program for UBI, then medicare should be part of it. I said nothing of medicaid, or the ACA subsidization, and you are assuming a lot here.

Similarly, I think socialized insurance programs should also fold in VA medical benefits, medicaid and other subsidized programs under a single umbrella. I'm not a fan of bureaucracy. That said, the post you replied to mentions no such thing.
