I get where you're coming from, but it wouldn't be $50/mo. These costs adjust with the cost of labor and land and so on. In the US the median household income is around $60,000/year. People pay ~$600/year for trash collection, or about 1% of the median income. In Vietnam, for example, the average annual income is in the area of $5,000/year (more in cities like Hanoi and HCMC, less in rural areas.) 1% of $5,000/year would be about $50/year, or $4-5/mo. People who are buying products that have the kind of waste byproducts that end up as litter will be able to afford paying an extra $5/month.

I'll ask my friend what they pay for trash pickup. I'm sure there must be something because they didn't have huge piles of trash around their home.

Um... I think you can just re-use the widevine shared object that Google Chrome comes with. You can't distribute it, but you should be able to include instructions for those downloading your project on how to acquire it.

But, I mean, Google is crappy. No surprise there.
So back in Russia a trip from my home town to Moscow on a plane takes about 6 hours in total.

- get to the airport about 1 hour in advance - about 1.5 hour drive
- The flight with all the procedures takes about 2 hours
- All the exit procedures can take up to 0.5 hours easily if no longer
- Wait for a train and ride to the city on the train - about 1 hour.
- Once in the city get on subway and ride to destination - usually 1 hours as well.

Compare it to the train, the fastest one is 14 hours:

- 0.5 hours to get to the trains station in the middle of my hometown. (or less than 0.5 hours if you live near by)
- 14 hours laying down on a relatively ok bed with clean sheets
- BOOM! you're in the middle of Moscow

No check-ins, luggage management, no nothing.

6pm you lay down on a bed, have a much, read a book, go to sleep and next morning you wake up at 7 am, do your morning rooting and at 8 am you're almost in the middle of the city.

I take this train over a plane any day. The only problem with that is that it twice or more as expensive compared to plane tickets.
Agreed, but that's different again. Once you've done a job like be the CTO or CEO or an exec role at a high growth startup (like Segment) then getting into a role as an exec at a larger company.
I think the US courts see them as different because you have different expectations about whether other (non-government) people might see them. The contents of my pocket might fall out, and they get put on a conveyor belt at airport security. But files on my phone don't have this level of visibility.

I think it is also legally relevant to put a passcode on your phone.
>- A few hours ago, I wanted to play a game, but guess what... Steam had a network problem [1] and didn't even let me enter the offline mode.

I think Steam is a really good (not shitty) DRM enforcer. A very occasional lapse in service is acceptable for entertainment platforms. I use steam because it is actually easier to use their DRM systems than it is to, for example, buy CDs or download individual game installers.
I think this is an incomplete picture. Guessing at their motivations, DRM also serves to reduce opportunities for casual copyright violation when you have to jump through illegal (which is part of the scheme) hoops to circumvent it.
To be honest, I’m still fine with jQuery and Laravel. I’ve looked at React and Vue and while they are marvels, I ain’t got that kind of time.

But, I also don’t write mobile apps. I’m dealing with desktop and the rules are different there.
This isn't Pepsi running an ad campaign that says "give someone a soft drink, it'll make their racism go away".

They are turning down business and a denying a significant portion of the brand identity that they have constructed in order to make a point and course-correct to be more true to their values.

To call this virtue signalling is to betray either a fundamental misunderstanding of what "virtue signaling" means, or a bad-faith attempt to plaster any progressive sentiment as phony.
It's true, I've only been on the military side of the IC, so everything I've been exposed to has been offensive in nature. That being said, the attitude of everyone I've met in the IC has been "we need to be able to access everything, at any cost". This attitude comes from the top (how else would it be so pervasive), and it is completely at odds with any sense of security for the average citizen. I think that this overall attitude is what really skews me. I'm familiar with SELinux, and why it was made open source; but I'm also familiar with Dual_EC_DRBG. Seems SELinux release may have been more a red herring or PR stunt than an actual attempt to protect security of the average person, given how much effort they put into defeating the security of the average person.
One issue night trains face when being reintroduced/introduced upon routes would be Urban sprawl and development.

In many Major towns and along those routes can and do become developed upon. You then face noise factors that you did not have before in reintroducing night trains and for introduction upon new routes - more so potentially an issue.

Whilst night trains don't need to go full speed and for many, more viable for comfort and running costs to run them slower. But in area's of urban sprawl, and noise regulations can and will prove an issue in such usage. Which is a shame but a major consideration today.

But equally, many transport avenues are under utilised and overlooked. Canals for one were a big thing decades ago and all but now abandoned in many parts as a means of transporting goods. Which is a shame as sometimes you just don't need it moved as quick as possible.
Any preferred english translation for shahnameh? Would love to gain some exposure to foundational Persian literature.

They would get a lot more done for the price by just contributing to existing Open-Access-focused efforts. Mind you, there is a lot of "IP" (or even just tacit know-how!) floating around, that could be "ransomed" out for cheap from its current holders and then set free, with huge society-wide benefits; but the cheapest is probably held by failing businesses, not ones that are still successful on their own terms.

Even more generally speaking, there's more than a few people saying we should elevate learning statistics over calculus in the general maths curriculum. Arguably it's even more important than trig and geometry.

This. I’m currently working on a project to do what OP is doing, and this is almost certainly the most painful route to go down. All of this could be done with WebRTC, and you get the bonus that it’s even p2p so you don’t even have to handle video content yourself if you don’t want to (if you do, you can mix in media servers like Kurento or Janus if you want). To further sell this approach, I built v1 of the streaming pipeline in like 2 weeks.

I'm quite positive (not a lawyer) that unlocking records (e.g. phone, phone book, laptop etc.) is not part of any legal search and under purview of wiretapping or seizure laws, much less privacy laws.

Those require a court order in general unlike a typical police search... unless CBP has leeway there too in which case it is a monster.
As others emphasized, it's totally possible for investors to get some exit before a bust, hoisting off the risk onto more naive later investors.

In short: create the appearance of a successful business, convince others (suckers) that it's a great investment, profit from selling your shares.
The author is my kind of dude. Despite all the hype he is trying to see what is out there through experience, self -study, and personal interest. The web is the best thing since the light bulb but it also encourages group think as surely as the bulb encouraged light pollution and energy waste. Bravo to the author for checking things out that aren't all the buzz.

I use Joplin every day for work, and review notes on the commute home from phone. Love being able to write in Markdown, fully encrypted across all devices, full hierarchical structure plus tags support. The UI is "basic", but so are my needs. And if it goes away, I have an up-to-the-minute backup organized by those same folders and markdown files. Several new releases since I started using it 6 months ago.

The lack of tags support on mobile and the proprietary storage format is what drove me away from OneNote.
The average salary for primary education teachers with 15 years experience in Finland is about $37,500, compared to $45,225 in the United States.

SFUSD starting salary for a teacher with no experience is $52,657, average salary is $69,572, $90,000+ compensation is not uncommon. That salary does not exist for teachers in Finland.

Finland does require all teachers to have Masters degrees though. Teachers are also allowed a great deal of autonomy and trust in designing their curriculum and teaching approaches.

It definitely doesn't matter with Ferrari because I doubt people buy cars directly through their site, but I've gotten into spats with art/fashion people who make terrible web stores that shit the bed the moment you're on a spotty connection.

> Higher math isn't harder arithmetic

That's narrowing the argument I made, I said "harder problems", of which higher math is just one aspect.

Even sticking to just higher math; you're going straight from arithmetic to... calculus? What about algebra, trig, geometry; all much easier when your arithmetic chops are blazing?

He mentioned that it took a long time to get going with some of the frameworks to get an MVP but the advantage of most of those is that while they take time more to learn you'll be more productive with them in the long run and there will be less spaghetti code.
> Hardly; it'll just be a transfer from VCs with too much money to everyone else in the economy. We could probably use more of that.

The VCs are gambling with someone else's money though. They raise money from institutional investors: pension funds and insurance companies. Ultimately the little guy will pay via government bailouts, pension reductions, and higher insurance premiums.

Yes it is possible. But people consistently overestimate how easy it is to do this. Would you bet billions of dollars on being able to fool other managers of billions of dollars? I wouldn't.
Do you understand that these journalists are the "experts in messaging"? These are the very people that push fake stories. Look at the whole Russia collusion story or Covington. Both of these were pushed hard by journalists using the immense power of their publications. Yet we're fairly certain that both of these were wrong and abuses of power by those journalists.

In today's age you cannot trust what a journalist says if they don't have proof that they can show you.
Yeah good point. Max and the various 9s that matter to your organization.

I don’t get it. The post author is clearly very excited, but the process itself is very boring: each work has a serial number. A company verifies serial number on request, as well as maintains owner contact details and handles the ownership transfers.

This is exactly how most ownership systems work - replace “di faced tenner” with “license plate”, and you will get a vehicle registry.
Wow! This is great.

For those who are not familiar with Persian, it helps to understand that Persian went through Old -> Middle -> New transition long before English did. While a 10th century English text, e.g. Beowulf, is completely foreign to a modern English reader, a 10th century or newer Persian text is accessible to modern Persian readers. These are not ancient books only academics can understand and care about. You can find copies of Shahnameh and Hafez in many Iranian households, but some of the lesser-known ones are indeed rare.

The 4 cell phones thing and her sketchy story is suspicious. But anyone could have malware on a USB stick. Especially from China.

That said this sounds way too sloppy for state espionage. Maybe it’s private? Or they are recruiting way too many people and let some bad ones in.
> Notion covers most of the bases but its an electron app and its SLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW if you have a lot of notes in it. Takes 30 seconds for the mobile app to open and be useful for instance. Thats a dealbreaker for me. I need to be able to get a piece of knowledge on the go fast. If you can't give me what I want in less than a few seconds you go in the bin.

So true. I've used Evernote for years and recently started using Notion. Notion works much better for organizing and structuring stuff, but when it comes down to jotting down a quick note, I istinctively open Evernote. Just recently I've realized it's because of the speed, both on desktop and (even worse) on mobile, Notion just takes too long to start up.

Just now while writing this comment I tried to open both of them on my Windows laptop: Evernote took ~1s, Notion ~5s between launching and loading the content.
China has more power, obviously, but most of their claims are purely cosmetic, since if they wanted to truly absorb Taiwan they can put a whole lot more pressure on Taiwan than

1) letting them open factories and conduct business in China

2) letting them visit and vacation in China

3) trade with China at all

If you want an example of an actual embargo check out Iran, Cuba, for great examples of pointless aggression (from the US).
This is great. Mankind can use their time on real stuff with bots helping do such tasks.
Dick Davis’ translation is currently the standard.
I use the app “launcher” at the top of the iOS widget area with slots that are pre-filled in templates that append to specific Evernote notes via email.

Also, use a Siri voice shortcuts that launch specific Evernote notes. Have a Siri voice shortcut that transcribes what I say and appends to a specific note. Many solutions to get stuff into Evernote on iOS and I’m sure Android too. Paper is still superior at times, but stuff ends up in EN eventually.

Getting stuff into it isn’t a problem I have with it.
Android at least has specific tasks in apps' home screen context menus (hold over app icon, get list of tasks). Those can be dragged to the home screen so you get buttons for specific actions. I have a host of quick capture tools on my home screen:

"New Note" task icon (personal notebook)

"Add new task" icon (adds new task in my todo app - personal or work depends on which one was open last)

Office Lens (camera, documents, whiteboards)

a shortcut to my work notebook's "quick notes" section (would be another "new note" button but OneNote can't handle that)

I can pretty much press a button and instantly be capturing what I need to capture. The drag-a-task thing is also useful with Outlook, since the default Outlook shortcut opens the email client. Luckily, Outlook's tasks include "Open calendar", "new event" and "new email". Bam, calendar has its own icon on the homescreen too.
You don't know if the website has ads in the first place so your argument is invalid.

It does seem like a sloppy attempt at espionage. But perhaps it worked in the past.
Not my comment, but possibly they were thinking around the idea of modern advertising causing overall less rational economic decisions to be made by polluting the market with more objectively false information than true (resulting in products and services being purchased where the utility gained for the price is not maximised). As a hypothetical example, if a particularly effective marketing campaign resulted in the market preferring a particular poor quality lightbulb over an equally priced but better quality alternative, there would be an economy-wide misallocation of resources into building poor quality lightbulbs.
You could have a closely or publicly held company with democratic governance. It's rare and I don't know of any examples, but it could happen.

Companies don't have to be feudalism in microcosm by definition, it just so happens that aristocratic ownership tends towards oligarchic governance.
