> Google Earth in VR is one of the most astonishing things I've tried in the last decade.

It really is hard to overstate how game changing google earth VR has been for me. I use it extensively to plan outdoor excursions now. I can memorize the route ahead of time, get a quick sense of how exposed I'll be, plan bailout routes, etc.

That is what Washington post does, I think. You can agree to tracking or pay money.
Ah, a cynic. :)

Depends on my investment in the company and what the company rewards me for, to be honest.

Most times I like to work in companies where I'd be rewarded for choosing the best solution for the company, regardless of job security. For instance, I've actively fought against language creep at a company because it would end up siloing developers.

But I'm not naive. If I worked at a company that rewarded me for complicated architectures, I'd deliver complicated architectures.
> But people have been selling children forever

They didn't have birth control.

I grew up in a world where my parents used it, I use it, and my grandmother guilt tripped my grandfather forever for not telling her about it until after they had three kids.

Forever, meaning she still brought up the issue when I introduced my wife to them.
"There are a number of alternative paths in this space if you're truly focused and willing to invest a bit, but if you care about privacy enough to seek a service like this out and just want to minimize mental overhead, this seems like a good choice."

It feels to me like 'borg'[1] is becoming the de facto standard for this use-case. There were a number of similar tools (like duplicity) for years but borg seems to have buttoned up all of the issues.

Some call it the "holy grail of backups".[2]

Those permissions are specifically granted "in connection with operating and providing the Service". I'm not a lawyer, but are you suggesting that they could do other things like steal your images to use in advertising and claim that it's "in connection with operating and providing the Service"?

In order to host your (automatically copyrighted) content on their server and display it to other people in your chats they need your permission, so you have to give it to them if you want to use Discord. Without it they would be infringing on your copyright by hosting your content on the service.

I'm not sure how else you expect it to work.

>Government sources say that it would be “unacceptable” for an ally to take such action. Not only would it mean that the US agency had operated on Spanish soil without asking for authorization or informing the authorities, it would also be a violation of the international conventions that protect diplomatic delegations.

Something tells me the Spanish govt will do nothing about it besides issuing a non-consequential statement of disapproval just like when Merkel found out her blackberry was being tapped by the five eyes. Gotta love sovereignty,
Only if you run a bouncer or IRC client 24/7, which means you either pay for it or some device in your house will be running all the team. Not great for the average user.
I disagree with almost all of this. Cars are getting bigger, not smaller. At least in the US. Very few people are interested in an tiny car suitable only for commuting. They want an all-purpose car that they can use for commuting, shopping, and 700-mile/day vacation drives. People don't trust new brands in cars until they've seen them on the road for a few years. Tiny cars and especially two-wheelers are seen as unsafe by most motorists. That goes back to why bigger cars sell better. Look at the number of people driving around town in full-size SUVs or 4-door pickup trucks.
I feel like if this ever gets popular, people will just start ordering outlandishly complicated drinks that the robot can’t handle.
Chickens are omnivores and will kill and happily eat other animals when they can. A fact that is very clear in regard to rodents that like to steal chicken feed.

That they managed to kill a juvenile fox is a bit impressive however.
To me that makes it sound even less like a CIA operation.
The problem with this view is that it assumes the EV/ICE differences are a simple swap, akin to moving from a I4 to a V6.

The switch to an EV drivetrain has lead to a much more through redesign of cars and none of the first gen batteries-bolted-onto-existing-chasis type EVs were particularly good. That is, if you don't get on the EV wave early and just wait for cheap batteries, you will be years behind your competitors in producing a properly thought-out EV and will be facing some very tough times.
In today's mobile world, IRC sucks. I've used IRC for years. Sending files is a pain in the ass due to everyone being behind NATs these days. People can flood servers with garbage. Names can be squatted and trolls can run free. Not so much with Discord.

It also doesn't require a bouncer just so you can go from mobile to PC to tablet without issue.
Setting those up isn't quite trivial for the non-programmer user and they have problems with some IRC servers (it's almost impossible to connect to EFnet via thelounge in my experience and convos had a variety of problems).
Crows are known to drop nuts on highways for cars to crack em up. They've also learned to read traffic lights to know when it's safe to pick up their bounty.

However, chickens aren't known to be planners.
At the past 3 places I've worked, we've setup Snowplow Analytics (https://snowplowanalytics.com/) and would strongly recommend it over GA, Segment, and other third-party systems.

If you're looking for a first-party system, Snowplow is an amazing setup.
My "qualifications": I use Telegram, Wire, Signal and Matrix, in that order of volume and frequency of use.

Telegram delivers messages quickly. Signal...it's anyone's guess whether messages will be delivered or not and how long it may take. Many a times it can be quite slow.

Since Telegram is multi-device (including a web client), activating it on another device is quick. You either get the verification code by a push message on your current client or get an SMS. This happens within a few seconds (for push messages) and within a minute for SMS. Signal is quite flakey, and its verification code SMS may never arrive.

Telegram syncs chats across devices and anytime you switch to a new device and activate it, all your previous chats and groups and channel subscriptions are available on the new device immediately. Signal (this is specific to iOS) prevents backing up chats on iTunes and iCloud. So if you get a new iPhone, then you have to start afresh with no older chat history and have to rejoin groups again.

Telegram has many other features, of which a few are listed below (none of these are on Signal):

* You can set a username and share a https://t.me/<username> link to someone else to get in touch with you, without revealing your phone number to that person. In groups, if there are people who aren't in your contacts list, you would never see their phone number. In Signal, the phone number is shown everywhere, just like on WhatsApp. You cannot hide it from strangers.

* You can @mention people in chats using the username and they get appropriate notifications about the mention, taking them to that message.

* You can edit sent messages for a while (you don't have to send additional messages to correct typos).

* You can start anonymous polls (currently only from phones) in the chats and get responses.

* You can use bots for many different purposes.

* You can create broadcast "channels" that people subscribe to.

* In group chats, the administrators can decide if new members can see all messages from the time the group was started or only the recent 100 messages.
I really like the way Pijul "thinks". Unfortunately, I can't see myself using it (or Fossil, for that matter) for anything except toy code, because I have contract requirements to store everything in GitLab.

Am I the only one who thought of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_Run when they read this article?
The first part of the TOS is standard, even something as simple as showing a thumbnail of a posted picture (which discord does) requires it.

AutoHotKey have their own relatively active Discord server, so obviously, you can talk about it. What is banned is the use of macros on the Discord client itself.

As for seeing every single message, then yes, certainly. That's how you get the entire conversation history when you first log into a server, search, previews, etc... Discord is not privacy oriented, it is a convenient platform, and great for semi-public conversations. It is not a replacement for Signal, and vice-versa.

Modern communication platforms don't have to be all privacy-oriented. Just like in real life, there are public and private places, with different expectations.
UserLeap would probably hire you.

I suspect it very much depends on the initial conditions. A Zebra that decides to try to scare off the Lion, but isn't backed up by the rest of the herd, or isn't backed up by enough of them quickly enough, is dead meat. The problem is their ability to communicate with each other and co-ordinate is too limited.
They still exist, but they now only get to vote on the second round if the first round fails.

The biggest problem with them from 2016 wasn't their actual vote, it was that many media outlets (including Google) listed Superdelegates non-binding preference as a delegate in the totals, making one candidate seem far ahead before many states had even voted.

Unclear if that issue is resolve, because it is up to the media. This article as a screenshot from 2016/discussion:

I've read that this is standard practice because they only get authorized counts from the DNC once every 24hrs. So it's just an estimate that is reconciled daily.
What should they do?

They don't seem to know who actually did this... not at this point.
Deliberately brazen. Ex-cia, current fsb. Or something along those lines.

It's better to be rational about creating the right incentives to prevent socially damaging behavior rather than stoking moral indignation disconnected from any semblance of benefit to society. How the left became the torch-bearers for unreflective moral indignation and retributivism is beyond me.
I have several 10,000+ message chat logs in signal. Searching is pretty much instantaneous even on a 3 year old device.
In my experience, I think the problem with side projects is that it starts with a certain timeline. But eventually, due to unforeseen circumstances or improvising over a period of time makes the project even more time-consuming.

The whole purpose of the side project is on-the-go learning and therefore you get this feeling inside that the side project is not optimal, or the project is not what it should be or that something is lacking. Whatever the reason, but somehow the side project is delayed on the timeline. Once the project is delayed;
a) Try to finish the side project ASAP by removing some of the important parts of the project and now it doesn't turn out to be the way you initially imagined it
b) Since the assigned timeline has passed, the project gets delayed forever as new priorities kick in
c) You finish it for the sake of completing the project because you have invested far too much time in building it

As a founder of http://draftss.com; I get to interact with alot of other founders who are struggling with completing and making their side projects beautiful. They want us to undertake the complete project for designing being Apps UI design or creating landing pages. Some founders ask us to handle complete projects as we think right, while others provide inputs for every minor inclusions and deletion. Conclusively, I'd say that it totally depends how dedicated you would be to your project from start to end. And that would define how your project is going to turn out in the end.
In my mediocre Midwestern city wages are stupid-high (for the area—they've gone up like 20+% in the last two years) and anyone who sounds like they have half a clue and isn't sitting there with 3-5 years of clearly-mediocre experience saying they're looking for "leadership opportunities" (HARD PASS) are getting snapped up as soon as they hit the market. Source: have been on both sides of the table recently. In the worst case, OP will not starve.
Traditional shopping just gives you one tiny rush - when you buy the item. But with online shopping, you get the rush when you buy the item, and when it appears on your doorstep a couple days later!
Isn't the argument in the article not that they were defaced due to "ritual defacement" but that vandals thought that by breaking the noses off, they were effectively killing the person in the after life, thus not allowing them to seek retribution for robbing their grave?
After reading many of the comments here, I sort of understand the need to make chickens seem like monsters. Sometimes they can be quite mean. However, I've known many chickens and their personalities are really quite diverse. Most chickens, when raised humanely, as pets, are quite docile and friendly, even some of the roosters I've known.
You can use the basic html version of gmail: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/1pq68r75kzvdr/?v%3Dlui

I use this - it's way more responsive and faster than the current gmail UI.

My only gripe with the basic html version is that the back button is broken when you're trying to go back to search results after clicking on an email (you need to click on "Go back to search results").
It's not a meme, it's a good advice. There is no person who will regret learning to code. Even if they end up doing something else, knowing how to code would definitely come in handy for something.
What is the "deep state", exactly? I understand it to be the right's bogeyman on the left, but I've never heard it taken seriously outside of more...esoteric discussions.
With tow ratings you subtract the weight inside the vehicle. At a tow rating of 800lbs you're not going to be pulling much of anything, and with a 41 kW/h battery it is not going to be going far at all either while towing.

I would love to replace our ICE tow vehicle with an electric if any existed, but the electric range would drop by at least half while towing. That's a lot of stopping.

As a comparison a v6 Dodge Durango's tow capacity is 6200lbs/2800kg. A v6 tow vehicle is a part-time tow vechile not intended for large loads. That durango can pull some boats and smaller camper trailers. We have used it to haul rock/gravel/stone as well. Electric would be great because the transmission wouldn't be as much of a concern but it would definitely need a lot of battery and would need a larger cooling system for the batteries and motors just like ICE tow vehicles need larger fuel tanks and larger radiators.
Apple would disagree. They were not first to market with music players, or mobile phones. They looked at what others did, saw their opening, and when they were ready they came in and absolutely dominated the market with products that had been designed with the benefit of knowing where others had made mistakes.
> children are property too

The children, and indeed everyone else, would probably disagree with you.

> Pensions don’t work anymore. It’s an outdated idea.

So, what of the period from the end of the useful working life until death? Penury?
It's not just speculators. Toronto and Vancouver have large foreign student populations who obviously need a place to live in. Most of them are not the cash-and-cars-flashing millionaires the newspapers constantly feature. Many are middle-class and had to take out loans from their community to afford the tuition.

In general, the major landing points for Canadian immigrants are Toronto, the GTA or Vancouver. The GTA is where the jobs are, so that's where people congregate.

There are some big employers based in Montreal, but you usually need to know French unless you're a developer or in an otherwise non-client facing role. You don't need French to get around in Montreal though, although of course it's appreciated if you make an effort.

There is /nothing/ "dangerous" about rebasing. You just don't rebase branches that are publicly shared without coordinating with the other users, so for some cases (like "master" of an open source project) you don't rebase.

But for your internal workflow, rebase is a KEY TOOL. It's how you write your story of commits. You can't just perfectly nail your commit history the first time you code, unless you are a genius. And what if you're working on a feature, but then you want to commit a certain series chunk of changes to master, so that other features can use that change. Rebase is how you do anything like this. It's core to using and enjoying the beauty of git.

Not to mention reset...
Which makes sense from the production side: electric cars nullifies American, Japanese, and European expertises in internal combustion engines. It levels the playing field for Chinese automakers. This is partly why Germany and Europe have been so reluctant to embrace electric cars. Warren Buffet had this insight about a decade ago when Berkshire Hathaway invested in Chinese electric car makers. Incredible.
Hey Tom - Thanks for this post. I'm in a similar position and what you wrote really resonated and was uplifting. I'm going to shoot you an email, would love to ask a few questions and chat if you get a chance. Thanks!

I wish more people understood this. Discord's primary design is large open public spaces; layers of encryption and e2e make no sense.
The main barrier to adoption is the lack of charging infrastructure. In cities, where EVs make most sense, nobody has a garage. IMHO the state should step in and build charging infrastructure instead of lowering taxes for EVs or subsidizing their purchase.

If you have never read a book about the abuses by the FBI revealed by the COINTELPRO papers, I highly recommend you pick one up as soon as you can.

CONTELPRO is the perfect example of why saying "I have nothing to fear from the police because I have nothing to hide" is foolish. What if you are an anti-war or civil rights activist?

The book I read recently is titled: "Cointelpro: The FBI's Secret War on Political Freedom" - Nelson Blackstock. Would love recommendations for more recent books, since this one was released in the 80s.
I'd be interested in reading more about its use in architecture or healthcare. Running into it at a hospital or doctor's office doesn't seem all that likely?
There was no realistic chance that Bernie is any other candidate was going to get the nomination at the convention once the superdelegates were pinned down.

That was settled well before the primaries were done, so if that's just one thing, it's enough. You don't even need to get to "two things" like previewing questions with the media for the debates, or purging dissenters from the DNC leadership, for example.
Yep. That's the current problem. They have built a ton of wind-farms out in the north sea and have industry in the very south of the country. So they want to build a set of power-lines that connects these places called SuedLink. They started sometime around 2014 and are still only a fraction of the way there.

So charging in the north will be fine, not so much in the middle or south.

Nobody wants a giant power-line around them and they faced stiff protests against the routes. If I recall correctly, they now want to bury the power-lines underground to avoid some of the public opposition.

In the meantime Germany is switching off its nuclear infrastructure (because people hate that too) so that they can buy nuclear power from France (which is perfectly fine?).

Also Germany spent billions on the green energy initiative in the past decade and is still hooked ~35% on lignite, one of the most polluting sorts of coal out there.

Without the power-lines that bring green energy from the sea, the e-car revolution will be difficult (unless we want to burn coal of course).

Established modern society is so dysfunctional when it comes to big projects that aim to change an existing system.

Solving founders' mental health issues
haha not really, but around 7AM, sometimes even 8AM (so I'm really blessed I think :D )

But what I say is - I'm not doing that 7days per week - if I'm tired I watch some Netflix or just play games or just go to sleep (but I feel really guilty that I've wasted free time to go 'just to sleep' - I know that's a bad mindset, I'm trying to fight with it, because sometimes your body needs to recover a bit more)
That would be during the first world war then, during a time where they lost about 2 million men to the war and had forced a total of 12 million men into the military.

Would be interesting to know in that context why girls would be valued higher then boys.
