That is the idea behind the lab notebook (what was done) + journal (what was thought) system that people are supposed to be following. We only know about Gregor Mendel because of his meticulous notebooks, for instance. My boss taught me the easiest way to write a paper is to start writing it before your first experiment, references and all; it's a great way to find weaknesses in your approach before you go too far in one direction or another. The problem is people get lazy documenting everything, especially when you are trying to leave the lab as fast as possible at the end of the day :)
What makes you think google algorithms would care, or that any human would care to review the case ?

> you make the service a utility

This is just a silly idea for housing. Power, water, etc. involves one set of infrastructure that runs across public and private land. It is very difficult to become a utility because of the insane investment required. Because almost no one can compete, it is regulated to prevent the otherwise-inevitable monopoly. Land is in no way the same; it's literally everywhere and many people own it.

Better solution? According to a professor of economics I talked to, it's to create tech hubs in other cities (at least for San Francisco; finance for NY, etc.).
I feel dreadful reading these types of things. The world seems to be running full speed into a dystopian future. Slow down, I say. Think about what you are doing and the consequences of your actions. NSA, POTUS lowering the bar for acceptable behavior, China monitoring, god knows what else, now this in Kenya.
impulsive doesn't necessarily equal irrational.

Many of them have been perfectly rational and have had very good impulse control.
Oh I forget to say, actually you don't need to replace if you won't run a Red on the html script which I do through what I call html proxy https://redlang.red/html-proxy

I'll update the documentation because it will confuse people.
It seems reasonable to me as well.

So far 99% of the people I have seen complaining about their account being suspended were unwilling to read the ToS, even less to try to comply with them.

I am pretty sure that the review process does mistakes as well, but as always bad actors spoil everything for everybody.

FWIW, I had 2 apps removed from the play store earlier this month. They were all based on the same codebase (different flavors) and were banned for using a forbidden permission (after asking it to the user of course).

I was super surprised since when I coded the feature using that permission, it was legal to use it. The rules have changed since then and I had pushed an update to remove the use of that permission (to be honest it was not that necessary, it just made the UX a bit smoother in one case).

BUT I did not realize that for these 2 apps, I had retained apks in the play store for lower api levels with the faulty code :///

(I use an upload script to gain some time .. multiple apks take a long time to upload for each update otherwise; so I don't see the play store console often)

Still; I was clearly in the wrong.

I just removed the faulty retained apps and was again in the play store a couple of hours later.
I see. I did not know that! Although, I would still argue my point because Ireland is just a recent example. Businesses naturally go to where there are other businesses. You have to somehow offer them a better deal for them to go elsewhere. If you can't do that then you get an urbanization-like situation for businesses, except they prefer bigger and richer cities over smaller cities.

Quit expecting governments to save you. The easiest fix for this problem is to stop using these products! No matter how much bad news comes out about Facebook, Apple, Google, and Amazon using your data in bad ways -- people still keep using them. If enough people quit, this will stop or a competitor will rise up who doesn't do this stuff.
Not sure. In a normal, gradual rise in wages, this might be true. But in a massive, sudden income increase, I personally would try increasing my prices (by at least some) immediately. And more over time.
Fortnite wasn't the first 100+ player battle royale game by a long shot, so it's not unprecedented. I love Epic Games but they definitely jacked the entire concept from PUBG and others.
This is a great ad for Firebase and Flutter.
I have a hard time empathizing with people unwilling to read the ToS.

It contains hard rules regulating what you can do with your app, not just with respect to Google, but also with your consumers.
There is still a much lower acceptance rate at a good journal than a bad journal that might accept anything and everything that is to the page limit. You might still get a faulty paper of course, but large journals have the benefit of choosing.
That's a great advice! I just put £3500 into my yoga teacher training and started teaching. That should be paid back fairly quickly :)
Yeah? I'm just not quite sure how putting HTML-code into blocks is really disrupting this market. Tell me, what your thing can do, what you can't do with a run-of-the-mill templating library/processor and a json for input? It's just not clear, which usecase this solves – there's a ton of mature, stable and feature-ladden options if you want to document code and even more if you want to create human-readable documents with a logical structure (even without resorting to writing all the content in HTML). And most of this solutions even allow you to extend their domain-specific language with your own code, take a look at LuaTEX, pandoc, ...
We should also demand for more control over what data our browsers send out.

Unfortunately at the moment Red does not really include a lot of batteries (take a look at IO in their documentation)...
Also what's the point of a platform-independent GUI-toolkit if you have to abstract a multitude of different OS-provided-libraries, when you could just use the library as is (which itself is an abstraction over the basic OS-rendering-primitives)?

Also could you elaborate what's so special about an DSL if all of these are locked into a specific syntax (or does the almighty red also include some super-easy grammar-description tools?)
I guess it boils down to if anything is actually checked, ever, or if its just a glorified autoresponder. The always super-vague nature of the responses does not fill me with confidence as to the former.
I love your debugger/IDE and the detail that your readme goes into!
You're confused in thinking republicans are the "political enemies of the clintons" -- many of them are far more an enemy to the current inhabitant of the white house than they ever were or have been to the Clintons. As I recall, one very prominent former Republican president voted for Hillary.

Washington is full of people who want power. They posture and make noise about political sides and beliefs, but in reality most of them are on the same side -- the side of the elite. They want power and money and don't like outsiders. The current inhabitant of the white house isn't part of the gang, and a significant portion of both camps (well, all of one camp and a portion of the other) are working very hard against him every day.

Kenya is a crime hotspot with GDP per capita of $1,500. Average IQ is 80.

I don't think people there care about privacy when they are struggling to avoid being robbed and to put a roof over their heads. If these measures can make Government and policing more efficient, than so be it.
Thanks for the link! That seems super interesting! You just made me regret publishing Weekly Robotics couple of hours ago. This link would make for a great addition!
I am not sure if the clicking speed button is supposed to preload, or if its only intended for you to figure out your speed.
The inventor of Ring was on Shark Tank not long ago as a "shark" himself. (He pitched Ring to them before selling to Amazon and they turned him down.) Originally, he was all about answering the door from his garage. After the acquisition, he started talking about saving the world by spying on everyone through his doorbell.

Funny how $1B can change you.
Coming from someone who is a hardware/firmware engineer, that's also what I'd do.

Developing hardware is hard and costly. If you are looking to create a consumer-based product, this would be especially true. There's no way you'd be able to manufacture your product as cheap as getting a manufacturer to supply you with a OEM version of their product, let alone having to amortise the R&D cost spent in developing it! And generally speaking, the cost is the bottom line in a consumer-based product.

This is what the Wyze Cam does. They've created a really nice product, but there's no way they'd be able to sell it for $25 had they also developed and manufactured the hardware themselves.

OP’s point was that logout should not be implemented with a link/GET but instead with a button/POST for exactly this reason.
My point is that it's highly unlikely anybody is coming for him after he leaves office. It's simply not done -- it wasn't even done to Nixon, where there certainly would have been cause.
I usually move the cursor out of the way, because I dislike it covering text or images. So when I do click on something I actually move over there and click immediately. How fast that goes is pretty much the textbook case of Fitts' law.
Maybe a little OT but it seems a little surprising that this Man, Martin Fowler just observes nature and creates design patterns out of it. And of course once he writes an article everyone starts talking about it.

I'm not sure how I feel about it. The quality of his articles are generally pretty good. But it seems a little reckless (or perhaps foolhardy) for just one person to dictate all new design patterns.
I’m really glad Im not suppporting and advocating for that destructive ecosystem anymore.

While making a living off of it you are only incentivized to defend android and what it COULD be.

Being an android app developer is basically scamming entrepreneurs, especially North American ones as their ideas dont typically leverage any good or monetization related ideas that apply to North American Android users and they are completely tied to Google services.

All while developing for a venture on the Asian continent just wont pay you, the developer, as much.

Good thing developing for yourself is free.
Because it allows both employers and employees to evade taxes and enhance their bottom line.

Basic problem of early computing: no good memory devices. IBM had electronic arithmetic before WWII, as an experimental tube multiplier. But nobody had a memory device that didn't require lots of parts per digit or bit. Hence cards and paper tape.

The deadendthrills blog has some great examples of this.
"No Man's Sky" is a particularly good game to do this in, but I've also had fun in the Witcher.

It raises the question of whose "art" this is; photography is normally considered to be the art of the artist, but game scenes themselves are the product of artists. The art director will even have set up certain shots for the player to see - and take screenshots of?

Various games (e.g. Zelda BOTW, World of Warcraft) have a "selfie" mode, which can be hilarious.
I rarely talk with companies who are open to remote work

I have only searched for 100% distributed companies, ignoring companies where remote is not the default situation. I even avoid companies that offer remote but have a central office because you get tied to their working hours.
Okay, sure, let’s run with that.

Alternate headline, “fees” variant:

“Software engineer loses life savings during Bitcoin fee evasion scheme”

The point being, he consciously traded a safe thing (losing a percentage of his money doing the transfer in insured ways) for a high-risk thing (no percentage taken, but not insured). He lost his bet due to a black swan event. I’m not inclined to sugarcoat this; he had every opportunity to know the risks, and earns no sympathy from me for losing his gamble.

Whether it’s taxes or forex fees he’s avoiding, the point remains: Safety comes with a price, and refusing to pay that price carries a risk of loss.

I honestly think that something like apt for android would be a much better solution - too bad, it will never happen because it would mess with google's monopoly.
If a human would have gone to jail for the crime the company should have its charter revoked for at least an equal amount of time. Even the giants.

Usually at best a corporation gets a fine and it just becomes a cost of doing business. Everyone involved including the government profits from the crime.
That all resets about once a year when a new expansion gets out.

"Let the invisible hand of the market fix it" is not something that has a history of actually working on near-monopoly actors.
Adding some extra data points in addition to covercash's:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAG_(video_game) (2010, Playstation 3)

> MAG used a new server architecture[8] to support online battles with up to 256 players

H1Z1 could, I believe, support 200-250 characters. PUBG superseded it with 100 players, then came Fornite. Arma 3 (2013), which housed the predecessor mod to PUBG, has a max player count of 255 IIRC.

In short, while it's important to have lots of players, I suspect it's not a large part of why Fortnite was successful.
It does mean we're trusting your service - we're executing your JS on our sites. But I do like that you're putting in the SHA hash so that we know you're not fudging it.

Just found that you have the source available too :) So overall, this is pretty cool.
About fucking time. Until legislation like this passes, nothing will change. I'm glad at least one of our senators has the balls to actually hold CEOs and companies accountable for their atrocious actions. This behavior should be criminal and this should be just the start. It doesn't make sense to send petty thieves to jail and hard labor, yet reward CEOs who cause millions or billions of dollars of damage to our society with gigantic resignation packages. These CEOs should languish in jail and find out for themselves what it's like to work for pennies a day. I'd bet any amount of money that once CEOs are actually held responsible for their reprehensible actions, things will change in regards to security and other overlooked practices. Once a company's profit and the CEO's resignation package can be clawed back with fines, these CEOs will think twice. Perhaps as a society we may rethink the idea of limited (in reality that just means nonexistent) liability corporations where even the officers who have the power of life or death over millions have no repercussions when they inevitably abuse and misuse that power to hurt and even kill people. That will probably take a lot longer, however. Until then, the best way to commit a crime and get away with it (including murder, poisoning, and other atrocious crimes) is still being a company executive.
This, also Mark accessed his account for the first time after this issue ?

It sounds a lot like he gave his credentials to his dev team which is a major violation of the ToS of the play store.

Criminal charges against Programmer for actions of the user
The US Government is attempting to make programmers criminally liable for the intentions of the users of the software. Programmers may end up bankrupting themselves in defense of felony jail time for the hidden intentions of their employers and clients if the prosecution wins this precedent-setting case.

Jitesh Thakkar legally immigrated to the United States from India in 1989 at the age of 13 to live the American Dream. He learned English, graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a Computer Engineering degree, and founded his own small programming business. Now he faces unprecedented criminal charges because his company created software that a client later used to engage in unlawful CME futures trading without his knowledge.

Make no mistake about it—Jitesh is innocent of the charges. He did not know what the trader would do with the software he created, which had legitimate uses. But Jitesh now faces hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills because he must go to trial to prove his innocence, even though he has no prior criminal record or even any regulatory infractions.

Jitesh is a fighter and has utilized every monetary resource available to retain a prominent law firm to represent him. The case is scheduled to go to trial on April 1, 2019, in U.S. District Court in Chicago. The financial technology industry and small business owners everywhere will be watching intently because this case could set a precedent that would be used against other innocent programmers.

For those interested in helping out - I have created a Go Fund Me to help him pay for his defense.

If only this was the worst problem with EU. The worst problem is the very existence of the Euro in the absence of a financial policy -- and Germany explicitly forbade this from happening. Therefore the Euro will explode sooner or later. For reminders, the situation is so bad that France recalled its ambassador in Italy friday. Something that AFAIK didn't happen since WWII. EU isn't peace; obviously, it's tearing countries apart. In a few years, Brexit will be seen as the most prescient, great political act of the decade.
T_D went to voat already back when I still used it (I gave up because they refused to add the ability to mute users), they couldn't handle it for even a week.
Most people don’t know about these issues or don’t care. Also how do you know what company uses your data in bad ways? There are probably plenty of others who do shady stuff you never hear about. We need privacy laws so products that are on the market can be safely used. Otherwise let’s abolish food safety rules and tell people just not to eat at places where food with salmonella gets sold.
I've already invested in all of those. £3500 in yoga teacher training, and I continuously learn and expand my knowledge. I do feel like I'm in a good place to explore more diverse investment opportunities. Thank you!
There are (used to be?) a bunch of popular documentary series about these jobs, like "Ice Road Truckers" or "Deadliest Catch" or "Axe Men". Part of the appeal is that these are jobs where you can actually see the work that they're doing. Another part of the appeal is the inherent drama in these workers risking their lives. (There's a strong positive correlation between "rate of workplace accidental deaths" and "how interesting a job seems in a documentary".)

I think another issue is specialization. If you don't actually have a ton of background knowledge about software in general, and your particular software requirements in particular, the things that people that you and I worry about all day aren't really meaningful. Like, if you watch Star Trek, you don't actually know what the technobabble means (because it doesn't mean anything), and the only reason you care in the first place is because the end result is whether or not the ship blows up. Software engineering is like that except without a ship blowing up. Likewise, medical and courtroom dramas are far more interesting than the real life of a doctor or a lawyer because they spend most of their time immersed in the arcane.

Which is kind of what simulators like this help with. You're not going to understand how to drive a train or maintain a Spitfire by reading a book or anything, and nobody actually has to know how to do those things unless they do them for a living, but getting a chance to pretend to do these things in a game gives you a broader understanding and helps you understand and appreciate the people who do these jobs.
How do you even know who does bad stuff?
> ...including jail time, if their companies steal and sell user data,

What if the government loses our data? Then what? Will they go to jail too?

Software is a moving target. It has become such a complex endeavor, always changing, always evolving. It's difficult to determine who's responsible for which part of the system; and by this I'm not suggesting we abolish responsibility. Good outcomes will be the result of multiple forces, balanced in the right mix:

A. Users should ask more of their favorite companies (and mean it, e.g. boycott your favorite tech company when they behave unethically)

B. Legislators should be more mindful of the legislation they propose (for one separate data (re)selling from data breaches, and what exactly is my data vs data generated by machines, etc)

C. Reckless tech leaders should have their reputation affected by lose security, privacy & business practices

D. And engineers should be more aware their craft affects the lives of millions and maintain a high standard of quality across their work

In the grand scheme of things, we've just barely gotten off the ground with this thing called software. And software changed everything, but so did agriculture, which is 10,000 years old.

If we develop careless regulation and start throwing people in jail for software faults, we're hardly encouraging innovation.
Doesn't this same problem apply to the like button as well, not only the dislike button?
I'm sure a company like Google or Bing would be more than happy to store, index and serve the pages.
Stupid people complaining about not being forced to give IRS an interest-free loan... priceless.
I learned my lesson about these sites the hard way. Hidden fees, reservations impossible to cancel or reschedule, services that were billed as "free" that actually weren't, etc. When I've asked individual hotels about this, they've told me the booking sites pay them so little money they have to nickel and dime customers for everything just to break even.

Now I only use the booking sites to find out which hotels are near where I want to go and possibly available, and I make the reservation by going to the hotel's website or calling them directly. It always works out better this way.
