Sorry, but the idea that Apple needs to be separated from the App store is ludicrous. If you don't like the App store don't buy Apple products. There are hundreds of other phones to choose from and some get equal or better reviews. It would be one thing if Apple was the only cell phone maker in existence but that is so far from the truth.

Amazon and online purchases, again, there are so many choices that you never ever have to visit Amazon to buy anything. If they were preventing resellers from selling elsewhere then we would have an issue. Like when Intel was trying to force Dell not to sell AMD. Amazon is in truth their own worst enemy now with so many bad products that venturing off known brands is a risk.

She is doing what politicians do best, using resentment, jealousy, and more, to gain more power and money. Not just at the voting booth but by intimidating companies into contributing more the PACs and political campaigns. We see this all the time and sadly people buy into it because using market tested phrases has become standard operating procedure for politicians. They pay to find out how to divide people.

An example of why PACs are truly bad is a recent political office run revealed that one candidate, who could not see fit to pay their taxes on time, nor their school loans, had been on the part time pay roll of a PAC for nearly 200k a year. Seriously, you want to see how politicians roll in the money look how the shake down really pays them.

Why hasn’t the FAA done the same? Are we just better than all these other countries and our decision makers have some insight that everyone else is blind to, or is the FAA helping Boeing’s stock since they’re an American company? Serious question. I’m baffled why the FAA is not acting on this.

Yes, I also thought it was very strange. My experience is that talent in most complex fields is impossible to measure over the short and medium term. Surely PG would have known this. Certainly Sam wasn't around long enough to prove himself worthy of this highly coveted role.

Maybe he had some dirt on someone and used the info to blackmail himself into the position. The talent line is just a bit too far fetched for me.
The muted tone of the YC blog post probably fueled the speculating. No recognition of contributions, thanks, for example. It read like a less than happy departure.
The thing is, for a long time, deb/apt were way superior to what rpm/yum offered. Heck, Debian had apt way earlier than Red Hat had yum.

If anything, Red Hat should have adopted apt.

In terms of sheer number of dumb competing initiatives, Ubuntu > Red Hat > Debian.

I'm not seeing a significant difference here. They couldn't afford to say "no" because MS was so dominant.

Said company wasn't American. I'm not sure if this is related, but they were going through this "flat organization" reorganization, where everyone, from CEO to janitors shared the same benefits. I feel that they cropped out benefits like corporate PCs to the people who needed them.

But it could be a misunderstanding. I hope it's a misunderstanding because it was baffling. They informed me that once upon a time they did have cubicles and desktops, but those are gone.

Hi, I don't work for Google, but I do work on web standards.

In WHATWG, single vendors typically work on features until they believe they are good enough to be standardized, which is when they are submitted to the WICG. At this point, other vendors and spec editors can take a serious look at the proposal and decide if it should move forward, what changes should be made, etc.

kv-storage has in fact gone through this process, and has overwhelming support from vendors and developers.

aside from this, import maps have been in the pipeline for even longer, and have broad support ranging even into Node.js being involved.

I know it's tempting when a new web feature is announced to claim that vendor is destroying the internet but please take the time to consider all the work that is put in to making the web a better place for you.

What are you talking about?

1) is "built by farmers" supposed to be derogatory, because farmers are often very mechanically inclined and make the best of what they have.

2) Steam engines are very capable, complex beasts. The big boy that you linked to is one of the largest and more complex one's ever built. Diesel engines wouldn't pack this much power in a single unit for multiple decades to come.

2a) you do realize that basically every electrical power plant sans hydro and photovoltaic are basically steam (turbine) engines and these work horses of old sharer large amounts of experience to the power plants of today?

3) The safety culture of the railways has always been important, almost as much as it is for air travel. (Yes, there have been some high profile accidents recently, but comparing fatalities to total trips is still favourable.)

It appears to me you saw a picture of something that didn't look "modern" and thought that it was primitive. It also appears that you thought primitive means simple. Those are never good assumptions.

I see CDNPerf and DNSPerf as a way to compare the providers relatively to each other, not as a trustworthy tool go get the real indications of time.

I skipped Akamai, because it seems to be from the period of time, where the number of points of presence (PoPs) was used as the best indicator of the quality of a CDN. It might still be true in some of the third-world countries, but it's no longer the case in the developed world[1].

As for DNS providers: NS1 is like Fastly (the most advanced / premium), Rage4 is like KeyCDN (the best fully-featured value-for-money), and ClouDNS is like BunnyCDN (the best high-volume value-for-money). And Cloudflare is still Cloudflare.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if Google simply wants to maximize the use of their servers here (independent of what users want/need):

1. P2P doesn’t give Google all that juicy mineable data that they get when everything you do makes round trips through their servers.

2. This would also implicitly encourage Android users to rely more on services like Google Drive/Docs for all files, which is good for them.

Edit: Apparently it is disputed that iOS has superior P2P file transfer support vs Android (see reply below), so perhaps all this is a moot point. I was assuming the truth of the parent post, and didn’t realize it was contentious; and since I’m not an Android or iOS expert, I can’t really argue that topic either way.
This runs the web server on a computer, but allows two-way file transfer from phones: https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qr-filetransfer
Coverage is a Big Deal. Fastly used to be pretty unavailable in South America but has since last year improved coverage (esp via west, in Chile).

I'd also like to add that with Cloudflare workers the technology lead of fastly (VCL, edge configuration) has reduced significantly.

Note about bias: I've used both cdn's for years but mostly opt for Cloudflare today.
Am not the parent, but RPi is the only ARMv6 target of any significance; supporting an outdated architecture has non-trivial costs, which is why Ubuntu and other distros dropped the support.

Stocks are very different from startups. For one, if YC invests even in something absurd like "Tinder for Potatoes", the value of the startup goes up.

You can't achieve the same effect for stocks unless you are investing millions in low cap stocks to prop up it's values and even then short sellers will squeeze you out.
I came to say the same. For my 15mo old son, I prefer asking Alexa to play music on the Echo because I don't have to ignore him (in a way) to go tapping on my phone -- which makes him very curious about what I'm doing.

As a plus, he babbles at the Echo when he wants to listen to music.

Thing is: if there's still work on those standards, it's not apparent. Are the abandoned? Are they going to change? Especially when it comes to warnings like "Deferred after 12 months of inactivity in its previous Experimental state. Implementation of the protocol described herein is not recommended for production systems."

> Therefore, suggesting that XMPP had zero smartphone support in 2016 isn't true when talking about the actual applications.

There was (and still is) only one actual application: Conversations for Android. Support and implementation across the rest (servers and services, desktop applications, iOS) varies widely (or wildly? :) ).

> Companies actually use XMPP (despite being incomplete in the 'recommended' state) but they disable the parts which do not benefit their purpose

I know that quite a few start with XMPP (or its parts), but it looks like most abandon it when they move to mobile (for various reasons, including the ones I listed).

Very well put.
GPS is not really usable as an indicator of airspeed. It's certainly not precise enough to determine whether or not an airplane is stalled.

The pilots had reliable altitude and attitude information, which is all they needed to determine the configuration of the plane.
Because 10 years ago ubuntu supported way more configurations out of the box and was more user friendly for laptops and desktops. And now nobody wants to spend time trying something new: don't fix what's not broken.

I have no incentive to ever install anything else than Ubuntu on my laptop given the investment I've done to get used to it. And on servers, I use Ubuntu just because I know it.
If you know you are flying on an 737 NG (700 and 800 are both NG) and not a MAX model, then I think you may be overreacting. The 737 NG has just about the best safety record of any plane ever.

If I were flying on a MAX soon, I'd think about it, for sure, that's human nature. But try to remember that it has had a couple hundred thousand uneventful flights in addition to the two crashes.

My layperson understanding of it would be that reviving a cell would be like finding a house 2,000 years from now that is preserved well enough that you can get the lights to turn on if you hook up the power. Getting a brain to turn on would be like finding an entire modern city that’s preserved in similar fashion. I may be wrong, but I think it’s a massive jump in complexity.
I noticed that too. 30 years since the Web was invented, there are major problems due to centralization.

I remember before the Web there was AOL, MSN, Compuserve. The Web brought permissionless ownership and choice, and disrupted those centralized platforms. It unlocked trillions of dollars of value but enabled new platforms to appear, built on top of the Web: Google, Amazon, Facebook, which acquire other companies like YouTube. It is time for another open platform to come along and to do what the Web did to AOL.

But there are also bigger problems to solve. We just made a post about it:

In addition to NUMEROUS 3rd party tools, Google already provides a tool exactly like AirDrop for Android.

It's a feature of the Files app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and... which has over 100M installs.

Look at the 3rd screenshot.

ENCRYPTED FILE SHARING

Files’s offline file sharing is secured with WPA2 encryption, providing a more secure file transfer. Files app uses Bluetooth to set up encrypted and direct fast wifi connection, so that you can transfer app APK or large files in seconds, send videos or pictures to your friends. Safe and secure.

SHARE FILES OFFLINE

Share your pictures, videos, documents, or apps with others nearby who also have the app. With fast speed up to 480 Mbps, it’s fast, free, and it works without the internet, so it doesn’t cost mobile data. Just pair up your phone with anyone nearby who has Files app.

Investing in RedHat is typically also investing a lot of money to lock yourself in to a larger ecosystem. I know why they do it, and that's because it's easier for support, but requiring you run RHEL to use openshift (maybe that's changed?) is a real problem for a lot of companies. Also, RHEL and Centos' packages tend to be extremely outdated in the name of security. For some of us, those new features are needed.
Yes.

Consider π. For any S>0, you can construct an infinite number of rational approximations that have a score of less than S.

But for any quadratic irrational (surd), as the depth of the corresponding continued fraction increases, the score will converge (in an alternating manner) to a critical score, S.

This means that for any score S < S, there is only a finite set of rational approximations that have a score of less than S.

For example, in figure 3, for S=0.4 < 1/√5 ≃ 0.447, there is only one fraction that gives a score of less than S=0.4.

Hope that helps!
This is scary way of thinking:

,,At this time there are no facts on the cause of the accident other than news reports,” American Airlines said. “We have full confidence in the aircraft and our crew members, who are the best and most experienced in the industry.” The airline added it would continue to monitor the investigation into the crash.

An investigation that starts with having full confidence is not a real investigation. First get the facts, then have confidence.
It's a protocol. People don't use social networks because of protocols.

Coming back to this statement:

> With an open standard, I don't see why you can't host your own social network

You also need:

- photo hosting

- video hosting

- comments

- timelines

- feeds

- search

- social graphs

- (etc.)

for a social network to have any relevance.
I often first try MTP and when it is acting up again, I'm using adb pull / adb push to do it. Once set up, adb turns on automatically and all you need to do is to invoke the commands on the computer. If USB is unavailable, adb works via the network as well, provided the phone's IP is reachable. However, you need to know the ip address. The only problem really is figuring out the paths, but at least it works and overall I'm wasting less time than with MTP usage.
You can only run one process in RTEMS (hence the name The Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems), however you can simulate other processes via threads. This is how we run the network stack and Wi-Fi configuration tools among other things.
I believe they used to benchmark via their own pool of test servers, but according to the sidebar they're now collecting "real user metrics" somehow:

> All results are based on RUM (Real User Metrics) data from users all over the world

> We gather and analyze more than 300million tests every day

> "RUM Uptime" shows the uptime of CDN providers as measured by real users. Due to bad Internet connections this number can contain false positives.

Agreed about Akamai, though — it appears to be clearly faster than those listed (they certainly had a HUGE head start). But also by far the most expensive. You get what you pay for in this industry!
There are quite some shady stuff going on in the App Store. People have to live with that, because there is no alternative.

You can literally do that; termux will run sshd quite happily. I'm pretty sure there are sftp servers in the app store as well, but I don't really trust them.

I run the reverse; my laptop runs sshd and then I ssh/scp/rsync from termux on my phone. But either way works.
They used to be early stage. Our startup has records of some sort for being rejected most times by YC and I always chat with those who made it and those who didn't. Traction was where all the action was.

That's what most VC's care too (apart from other VCs investing). All the vision, values bullshit is just fluff talk from them.
There's also the fact that witnesses will tend to say all sorts of weird things that get proven false in video footage later on. So I personally would be cautious about believing the smoke and unusual noises.
This is the way to start, it will let you work through the communication changes.

In fact, you should make sure you have Slack setup with channels and things are well defined for people on what will go where and when etc. Have Slack be the tool even internally when people are in the office that they turn to and ask person X a question, versus interrupting his/her work by walking over to his/her cube. Getting that nailed down decently will make someone being remote so much easier.

I do agree you need to define a primary communications tool, but also leave others on the table. In other words, my team uses Slack for 95% or more of the communication, but most calls are done on Zoom because the experience is better than Slack, especially when we are doing things internationally a lot of the time. Slack does work, but it isn't as smooth, however, I use it a lot when it is just a few of us jumping on a call as it works great then. So you'll find tools that work, and just make it clear to the team and make it simple.

Other things to think about, make sure you have something like 1Password setup, so those shared "secrets" like production creds, or keys etc are all stored someplace secure where everyone can get to them. You don't want people sharing those over email cause Jane is out of the office today and needs access to it and forgot to grab it from John before she left.

Good luck, remote teams are actually more productive in the long run in my experience, but they are not free or without some extra work, especially in the beginning.
