Yeah, that's it exactly. Interestingly, the technique was invented by the creators of RSA public key encryption, although they considered it impractical as it required the exchange of too much information back in the 1970s (all of the cards needs to be double-encrypted with separate keys after a XOR-powered shuffle).

It's exactly the sort of thing we want the underlying Saito game engine to handle, because implementing the cryptographic techniques is a huge pain. Right now the underlying engine simplifies the who process to pushing a new deck onto the stack and dealing from it. The development work is reduced to generating the "associative array" object that defines what the cards are.

this.game.queue.push("DEAL\t1\t2\t8");
this.game.queue.push("DEAL\t1\t1\t8");
this.game.queue.push("DECKENCRYPT\t1\t2");
this.game.queue.push("DECKENCRYPT\t1\t1");
this.game.queue.push("DECKXOR\t1\t2");
this.game.queue.push("DECKXOR\t1\t1");
this.game.queue.push("DECK\t1\t"+cardjson);

Thanks for the comment anyway -- and reach out anytime if you have ideas for XMPP integration or thoughts on the project. You can also find us on the Saito dReddit btw: https://apps.saito.network/r/
Bad PR is the only form of communication the "tech" industry seems to understand. Chances are they wouldn't have lifted a finger if you hadn't made noise on forums and social media sites.
In South Australia there was recently protests to stop a parklands getting turned in to a supermarket. I never heard what ended up happening there but the council was pushing hard to get it converted because "Shoppers are demanding more choice"

The truth is simple:

In China, banks are run by the government, yet there are shit ton of scams that borrows money from the party and never pays it back. In many cases the loan guarantor has no mortgage to payback at all.

In this "social credit" system from Supreme Court, 90% of the victims are worthless loan guarantors involved in some kind of loan scam.

No, this law changes nothing. But also hosting your own changes nothing. You can ignore a DMCA takedown but maybe your host won't. And from my experience, hosts don't care that much -- they'd rather toss you than deal with legal issues.

i dont understand it personally
This is not the social credit system(edit based on OP comment: the dystopic social credit system that people are afraid of). This is just the list of discredited people("Shi Xin Zhe" list) published by China's court system. The whole list is published on http://zxgk.court.gov.cn/

You don't end up on the list for simply owing money (and it has nothing to do with social mis/conduct), you end up on the list for being sued over the money you owe, and the court determining that you do have to pay and that you have the ability to pay based on your personal financials (or if you refuse to disclose your personal financials to the court), and you still refuse to pay. Hence why its maintained by the court system.

The word "Lao Lai" that is quoted to describe them in the article is literally "long term renege".

It boils down to the First Amendment, the government cannot censor speech. In US law groups have the same free speech rights as individuals. Michael Moore doesn’t lose his free speech rights when he makes a propaganda movie with a film studio, and Citizens United didn’t lose their free speech rights when they made their propaganda movie either.
The fing app would be a better, more widely available and usable suggestion. With the same downsides though.
The idea that development is not publicly funded is a myth. Regulators define every step, put in a good deal of the money, and do a lot of the organizing. A lot of the rest is done in coordination with researchers at hospitals and universities that are often publicly funded. As with most large industry involved research efforts, the government and academia are heavily involved in the effort. Only the profit is privatized. It has always been thus.

OP and Inkstone editor here. The slow train certainly isn't a deadbeat caravan, and I don't think the article suggests that. But it is unusual for a businessman to take this train instead of the high-speed options.
We had a bus in my suburb. The bus stop was an hours walk away so you had to be driven there and it leaves once an hour and doesn't go to anywhere your friends are so if you wanted to visit a friends house you would have to take 2 bus trips in each direction which would probably add up to about 5 hours travel time in a day.

Or you could just invite them to an online game and have fun right away.
This is a very poorly written article, if not poorly done science. (See Criticism section of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Twenge)

Showing two graphs with opposite directions and claiming one is the cause of the other is not how one should present their claims.

It could be just the case that because of some other reason(s) teens spend less face-to-face time with their friends, and they spend more time on social media.

Beside, the second graph already shows high loneliness rates in 80s, too. Is this also because of social media which did not exist in 80s?

There can be so many other reasons for teens to feel depressed: economy, global warming, the increasing gap between rich and poor, mortgage crisis, and now student debt crisis, so on and on.

Please do not divert our attention to wrong reasons, or please make sure that you are really on top of your game.
Halving it for dilution is not actually enough. Remember that the valuation that an investor is paying is what the investment is worth _to them_. Any investment is worth more as part of a well diversified portfolio. As an employee, you lack that diversification. Even worse, the investors get significant protections built into their investment... preferred shares, board seats, dilution protections.

I would be surprised if the true value (if that were possible to calculate) weren't closer to 1/10th the valuation that investors bought in at.
Bleh, what a terrible article full of generalizations.

My wife and I considered building a large 6,000 sqft dream home on acreage but at the end of the day we realized that space wasn’t what made a home a “dream home” but instead utility of the space and the ability for it to support our lifestyle and kids.

Having toured many multi-million dollar homes and having interviewed several architects we now view the opulance and oversized rooms as a liability in the “upkeep” column of our family’s time balance sheet.

We decided to stay in our upper-middle class home and renovate it with things that require less upkeep so we can do more living in the house and less maintaining.
The main benefit for amazon's tools is once you've been there a while you know how they work, and all the complexity and bugs have been stripped out of them. And because they force engineers to go oncall everyone has a pretty good idea of how to fix things.

When you have SRE's spending all day creating the next new thing (generally after deprecating the previous one with no replacement), you end up in a situation where you forget how to say, rollback a bad deployment. Or scale a fleet.

The problem with fancy infrastructure as code, containers and logging services is when they break you have no idea how to get out of trouble. SSH and grep almost always work, as does symlinking a directory.
All capitalism is using government power to protect business interests. The very idea of capital only makes sense with a state enforcing it.

But yeah, Facebook tries to make Facebook a site you want to visit. Youtube wants you to watch YouTube. Should they try to make sites that aren't engaging?

Maximising ad revenue also seems not terrible for users? A week ago I saw an ad for some pants, and I'm wearing them now. I spent ages walking around town looking for pants I liked. Hopefully next week they start showing me shoes. IMO advertisers and these platforms tend to have incentives pretty closely aligned with their users'.

No one expects private industry to fund all research and they don’t. Governments fund a lot of basic and applied research, in pharmaceuticals and many other domains. What they don’t really find is drug development, taking a drug from the “This looks good” stage through animal models, safety testing and efficacy testing.

"Why We Must Ration Health Care" by Peter Singer. New York Times Opinion Section.

Unfortunately this is a very difficult conversation to have between people and their physicians, between family members, and with ourselves. It ties into another very difficult discussion of facing death. In a democracy the lowest common denominator argument wins out with catchy slogans, in-group signaling, burying uncomfortable facts, avoiding short term sacrifice, and/or wielding anecdotes instead of rational analysis. Thus the rationing happens when it is least effective - during a crisis when significant human, monetary, and time resources are drained. And not much earlier when some planning and hard work could greatly ease the burden.
It's cheaper that way--for them. So what if a % are banned by mistake? It would cost $xxmillion a year to lower the false positives but that's a lot etc etc...
The real amnesia about “open source” history is that, at the time of the formation of the OSI, developers and companies were afraid of Free Software, Copyleft, and GNU. Making free/libre/community code palatable — even merely for re-use — was an uphill battle. Nowadays, use of open source is so pervasive that you get a strange look in developer circles when you use the word “proprietary”. And we are worrying now about paying for committer/maintainer time given how important OSS modules are, especially standard and popular programming libraries and database technologies.

That is quite the inversion. Let’s take an example: search. Elastic has gone public while employing an army of Elasticsearch and Lucene committers, and while selling SaaS and cloud services around Elasticsearch and related projects, thus paying for those committers, creating a massive ecosystem/community, and revenue for themselves (plus return for their investors). A win like that would have been unimaginable in the pre-OSI era. Companies wouldn’t adopt Elasticsearch, wouldn’t put real data in it, and certainly wouldn’t pay some company to run it for them.

Instead, that era saw companies like Verity, FAST, Autonomy, and similar proprietary search engines. Can you even name a proprietary on-premise deployable search engine today? Even if you can, it’s probably powered by Lucene, Solr, Elasticsearch under the hood. That’s how much the entire universe has shifted.
Having been one yourself very recently, you must be aware that every founder is "crushing it" right up until the put up that blog post about how it didn't work out, right?

That doesn't really address the interesting question though, which is more about what level of spending is reasonable given the underlying basic science and currently available treatments.

Spending enormous sums on vague, incremental improvements is likely not an important use of funds.

I was an intern at AWS this past summer(and will be returning as a new grad in May) and this article is not accurate based on my experience.
My code (which was part of our team's actual production system, not a toy project) ran on EC2 instances in an autoscaling group. There was no manually provisioning servers.
I worked with a Kinesis Stream and several other resources and there was a way for us to programmatically retrieve the names of the resources. My impression was the system we used to find a resource name works for all AWS resources so I imagine you could get the name of a load balancer this way as well.
Finally, I'll just say my team worked entirely in Python. Maybe that was an exception, but it is certainly sufficient to directly falsify the statement that "internally, at Amazon, you can't even use a language other than Java." (How would the author even know this? Was he in on the S-team meeting where it was declared that all non java users get a pip?)
Left vs Right doesn't seem like a very helpful distinction to me here (but then I don't think it's a very useful way of looking at politics in general in the modern world either).

The personal politics of some of the founding figures is perhaps helpful to understand the history but I don't think it's necessarily that useful in understanding the movements today.
The one that's paid off is a pretty good step.

Part of this is the ever increasing liability (real or perceived) of being in any proximity to somebody else's kids as a business owner or member of the general public.
Perhaps one day we can stop talking about "feature-gating" (and "geoblocking" for that matter) and just treat these censorship mechanisms as the attacks on the freedom on the web that they are.

... Eventually these houses will hold four families each, or they’ll go back to woods and fields, slightly formaldehyde-tainted from the lumber. ...

It's interesting to think of the future scenarios that would cause each outcome to play out:

1. Housing continues to skyrocket beyond any reasonable consumer inflation expectation. The only way to "get in" is to go in with one or more other families.

2. Housing prices begin to fall like so many prices throughout the rest of the economy. Nobody wants to take the risk of being stuck with an overly expensive thing they can't unload.
That's what I paraphrased, other than it involves 3 transistors wired in a way that accomplishes that.

How does that in any way remove the need for a sound legal framework defining the limits of IP rights for this use case? Do you think everything put on the web should be considered public domain?
I am unsure what that blog post is trying to say, exactly. That some people build big houses and regret it? Some others buy a house and then grow to old to maintain it? Okay, so what? A lot of people build their perfect house and love it. Many people live decades in their home (my parents have been living in their house since 1970...). My dad still mentions to me every time we're sitting in his back yard (an acre filled with trees he planted himself) that it is his dream home and he can't imagine living anywhere else.
One thing RMS has said is that Free Software (GPL) places no restrictions on how anyone USES the software. The rights reside with the actual users.

The GPL does restrict how you REDISTRIBUTE it. If you modify the software, you must distribute the modifications when you redistribute it.

Businesses that just use the software are fine with GPL.

But businesses that want to redistribute GPL software cannot fork and close it.

But they're businesses and have revenue, so they can pay others to use their software, or just use MIT/BSD licensed code that allows fork and close.

Can you explain which parts you believe are lecturing drivers? My post was meant to offer my perspective as a cyclist: driving is more expensive than many appreciate. I wasn't arguing that it was unnecessary; quite the opposite.

I don't know what you mean by "Please don't ruin people's lives with your ideas" if you were not referring to taking away someone's license because of debt. As I stated, I don't believe someone should lose their drivers' license because of debt.

What is the idea I have that would ruin peoples' lives?
If your model of the pharmaceutical industry were true they would have very, very high profit margins. They don’t. Privatised profit and socialised losses is a great way of making an individual profit but the pharmaceutical industry is not politically connected enough to do that.

> The average return on equity for key industries from 2014 – 2016 shows that biopharma’s profits stand at 16.2%, significantly lower than Computer Sciences (31.6%), Beverages (27.4%), Aerospace/Defense (23.0%), and Trucking (19.1%) while modestly higher than Software System/Applications (15.2%) and Healthcare Support Services (14.4%).

> Another measure, Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is even more telling. IRR calculates the sales/cash flows resulting from R&D investments, ties R&D and the returns it generates together, and is a more appropriate metric for biopharma productivity. Deloitte reports that the IRR for biopharma R&D has been steadily falling from 10.1% in 2010 to 3.2% in 2017. Even Wall Street hasn’t bought into the “pharma soaring profits” view. Since February 1, 2014, while the Dow has risen 63%, the stock prices of a number of major pharma companies have been muted with Pfizer and Bristol-Myers each growing by about 15%, and Merck and AstraZeneca by roughly 6.5%. Even Lilly’s growth of 43% still lags the Dow.

You mean like the summary judgments that can be leveled against debtors in the US by debt collection agencies...

And which...ding your credit score. Which makes it harder to get credit...secure a loan...(sometimes) get housing...(sometimes) get a job

Versus...institutional segregation and denial of services by the government. Definitely not even in the same ballpark and definitely an artifact of the "social credit system" as described by the authors of this article in other comments here as being an accumulated set of practices and programs in China - no single thing.

Yes, the reality is probably somewhere in between. We've heard that users like the idea that kops releases are more ready, where the .0 releases of k8s might have more issues particularly with ecosystem components. So we do lag a little behind - ideally one release.

1.12 has been a particularly tricky release getting everyone from etcd2 -> etcd3, but we've finally turned the corner on that one, so that should now let us catch up a bit.

Finally, we've also heard that users want more of a choice, so we're going to start doing e.g. 1.13-alpha and 1.14 alphas much sooner. We'll still wait to do kops 1.14.0 until everything is ready, but for users that want to run k8s 1.14 sooner, they will have an option that isn't building from source. And hopefully this also gets more people using pre-release versions of kops (in non-production environments) and also helps stabilize the releases more rapidly.
Thank you! This is fantastic!
