> It shouldn’t be hard for my fridge or hot water heater to buy a kWh of electricity anytime over the next 7 hours to do it’s thing.

I think you'll find the idea of exposing the electricity market directly to consumers is not highly popular with consumers. Not that this is necessarily a bad idea, but definitely not popular right now. If you can think of a good way for the signalling layer of that to work, and find a utility to work with, then certainly it could help, but it isn't going to do everything you want.

> Same for dishwashers and clothes dryers: I’m 100% okay with pressing “Clean/dry within 8 hours” setting.

Maybe you don't do laundry that often, but leaving wet clothing in a dryer for eight hours is not a good idea, in my experience.

> It shouldn’t be hard to convince people to replace their AC with a unit that makes ice overnight if it cuts their electricity bill in half.

Due to thermodynamics, this is not helpful.

> Same for electric cars: I don’t care if it charges between 2AM and 4 AM or 7AM and 9AM, as long as it’s topped off by 9AM.

That's mostly new load (as far as the electrical utilities are concerned), so it isn't helping reduce peak demand.

It's crazy that people are calling for someone to be expelled from the board because they're from a conservative think thank though. You want a diversity of viewpoints at the table.

I sort of agree with this. I'm cynical that the genie can be put back in the bottle. I also think for a certain crowd whose support you'll need for any changes along these lines, the term "freedom of speech" has become politicized too much. I'm not sure it's an ideal that we can still rally around as a country.

What we seem to be able to rally around is money. And I think once people realize they're sitting on some real monetary value, they'll be galvanized to pursue some of the things we hope to get with privacy advocacy.

These are great things to point out and part of why I started this blog. I knew there were smarter people out there that would think of all the things I'm not thinking of.
Writing "drivers" that do questionable things for even more questionable reasons seems to be par for the course in the Windows ecosystem.

Wow not only do we have have barely any taxes in northern Nevada, apparently the taxes we do pay are rarely audited. Which makes sense in a way from a financial perspective.

But this doesn’t seem to be the case in southern Texas right along the border.. odd.
This can get tricky though, and there's lots of "feelings" all over the place these days. There are a lot of somewhat vague "truths", some necessarily so, that have become largely considered as all encompassing, final, beyond debate truths, even though they may not necessarily be so. This seems a bit problematic to me.
I would go if they reenacted the test. I am generally a pacifist but a nuclear explosion still must be an awesome sight.

I disagree with your 99% assertion... About 30% of the stuff I've seen on my feed and others through the years of friends, family, and acquaintances has been opinionated/political to the point of dissent generally just causing posters to double-down or become entrenched and more opinionated next time. Maybe this kind of stuff you consider benign?

Or more explicitly: always act in a way in which people who could hurt you would like, even when you don't think anybody is watching.
Your answer makes sense, but it actually makes me less excited about CNB.

It sounds like CNB will break compatibility with the massive Dockerfile ecosystem, in exchange for... sometimes not downloading a layer? That is not appealing to me at all, because Dockerfiles are too embedded in my workflow, losing support for them is simply not an option.

As for unprivileged builds, I don’t see any reason buildkit can’t support it since it’s based on containerd.

I think it’s a mistake not to jump on the buildkit/docker-build bandwagon. You would get a 10x larger ecosystem overnight, basically for free. Instead it seems like you’re betting on CNB as a way to “kill” Dockerfiles. But users don’t actually want to kill anything, they want their stuff to continue working. Without a good interop story, you’re pretty much guaranteeing that CNB will not get traction outside of the Pivotal ecosystem. Seems like a shame to me.

I'm not familiar with your editor or block-based editors in general, but it looks like a basic version of a visual editor I used in WordPress a while back. Is there some reason you can't do it similarly to how that did it, by allowing a row to be split into columns, each of which can have a content element within it and can have it's width adjusted manually or set to fit to its content?

If you used flex instead of floats it seems like you could have most of the functionality without the edge cases of floated elements.

Mundane... Not mondain
Well, I have been in the hacker scene since like 1997 and it's ethos has always been about free information and secondarily about anonymity. Hence, data as privacy is a no go. What is going to happen is what Julian Assange outlined in his book "Freedom and the Future of the Internet" lays out.

The article lays out that even the hackery of the hackers are having a hard time. I don't what the hell he is talking about. A hard time like a hard time in not eating a chocolate cookie of convenience lays out but nothing more.

Elite hackers will always have privacy and it will not always be glorious. It is the masses who think the hackers will save them who are delusional.

Amazing how a third party can harvest that amount of data and Facebook is freely handing it out... they really have no control over the data they process and handle. It's been shown again and again.

It seems Facebook should be forced to disable any kind of data sharing with 3rd parties since they obviously cannot make it work. They have enough issues with the security of internal data handling procedurs already that they have to fix, before giving data to third parties.

You make a fantastic claim but provide no evidence whatsoever. Counterpoint: diphenhydramine (aka Benadryl), ibprofan and other NSAIDs, clotrimazole and other antifungals, ... the list just keeps going.

Admittedly, the Sudafed replacement (ie phenylephrine) is not nearly effective as the original (ie pseudoephedrine) for large segments of the population including myself. To that end, one of my favorite mock journal articles of all time is "A Simple and Convenient Synthesis of Pseudoephedrine From N-Methylamphetamine" (http://heterodoxy.cc/meowdocs/pseudo/pseudosynth.pdf).
This is better in a sense that the user doesn't need to learn something new except for the language the user is programming in and python (even though theoretically manipulating the AST will be less error prone, etc...). I use javascript everywhere, but I still didn't learn how to make babel plugins/macros because copy/pasting snippets of code two or three times is easier than learning.
It's a pity that people still couldn't make a language that has a super intuitive macro system like lisp (homoiconicity, the AST is the language), and a intuitive syntax like python.
I actually believe that this is partly because most Lisp users don't like the idea of new syntax and that all major lisps (CL, Clojure, Scheme) doesn't have syntax sugar as default.
I would appreciate if a new CL tutorial appears that uses infix notation with reader macros(`#I`) or a Clojure tutorial that uses the infix package(https://github.com/rm-hull/infix).
It will be great to beginners because 1. they wouldn't be scared of prefix notation and 2. it shows (a part of) what lisp macros can do (introduce syntax sugar in a way that is natural to the language).

GitLab requires you to put a txt record with a verification code in your custom private domain DNS to verify ownership.

Interesting perspective. I was pretty solid in how I felt about the topic before and after reading the article, but I’ve never thought about the whole iPhone unlock and similar things seeming obvious.

It’s weird, I can almost totally agree that the “slide to unlock” should have been patentable, but at the same time I feel that the “swipe right/left” shouldn’t be.

Maybe it’s because the original iPhone slide to unlock felt almost mechanical, since you had to do it to open your phone. The tinder one is a fun way of choosing between binary options.

Or maybe it’s just how I hold to two companies in my head, it’s hard to say.
Opinions obviously vary. The staging area is one of the most useful things about Git for me, and I use it just about every day.

I don't understand how Tinder is the example of that.

If I have time to meet a woman tonight and it's 4pm, what exactly is Tinder replacing? The hell of cold-approaching women at bars until one of them seems to like me? Mine my depleted social circle for a date? Wank off in my bedroom because I don't have any new prospects and be happy with that?

The whole point of Tinder is to find new face to face interactions.
I, 'scarejunba', wish to share my data with a health insurer. You, 'floe', wish to stop this.

I could not disagree more. We have become paralyzed by our "vehement disagreements." You want evidence? Look at political discussions on Twitter, Facebook, or Reddit.

People should at a minimum share a common GOAL if they want to have a meaningful discussion. It's fine to disagree about the means.

And if you dehumanize me, by whatever metric you hold dear, say that I'm a Dreamer, or Trans, or not a member of your race or religion, then I'm sorry, but I don't care to listen to you at all. Accepting my humanity and dignity is table stakes, not up for discussion.

>just a scratch from a bite from a Komodo can be deadly

That's incorrect.

>In 1969, Walter Auffenberg came along and made his detailed study of Komodo dragon behaviour. He made two critical observations:

>1) Komodo dragons can kill large prey, occasionally even buffalo, outright.

>2) buffalo that escape a Komodo dragon attack often die of infection.

>Auffenberg, based on the second observation, hypothesized that the dragon had septic saliva and used it to kill large prey slowly over days or weeks, even though his own published field observations contradicted this. The public caught wind of this idea, and the myth of the Komodo dragon as a slow killer with a virulent bacterial brew was born.

>Then, in the 21st century, Dr. Bryan Fry discovered the presence of modified salivary glands in the dragon's lower jaw. The compound produced by these glands proved to be a potent anticoagulant.

>Dr. Fry believed that this substance was venom, since many types of snake venom also cause uncontrollable bleeding. He also recognized that Komodo dragons kill prey quickly rather than over a long time, since he actually observed these animals hunting. Unfortunately, the press totally missed that last bit, so the myth lived on in modified form, with venom replacing bacteria.

>The original venom hypothesis has come under fire recently (Hargreaves et al, 2015), and many scientists now believe the anticoagulant is a digestive enzyme. There are many reasons to indicate that venom doesn't play a role when killing prey, which certainly fits with the observations of Komodo dragons killing prey violently and swiftly.

>In 2013, another study revealed that there was no septic bacteria in the Komodo dragon's maw. In fact, it has a cleaner mouth than most mammals due to constantly replacing its teeth, leaving no chance for trapped food to rot and fester before they fall out along with the dentition.

>It is a fact that Komodo dragons do not wait for prey to die, even though this myth is still being presented as true by pop culture. What really happens in these cases is something else entirely: prey escapes, gets infected, dies, and is eaten by a dragon (possibly the same one if it happens to be nearby). There is never any intent by the dragon to kill its prey in this way. They try to kill quickly, in some cases even near-instantaneously, and usually in just a few minutes.

Vastly more control? By banning sharing of my information with my insurer? Brotherman, I'd like you to explain why you believe this to be more control.
The path to vehicle electrification might not be that long: https://about.bnef.com/electric-vehicle-outlook/

Also, it's worth making the distinction between vehicles and vehicle miles travelled. We might not replace all the cars right away, but the majority of the miles travelled might convert pretty quickly if they're done via TCO sensitive fleet vehicles (Uber, Lyft, etc) and/or 2nd car commuter vehicles.

You bring up some good points and I don't have an answer for how data ownership would affect every industry or product category.

On the $10/month figure, I would point out that this is likely per data silo. So Facebook's data on you may be around $10/month, but also Google's, which is a different data set. And so on. It's not much money now because it's only available to advertisers who want to buy ads on a specific platform.

If you owned and controlled your data, you may have 100 different buyers at $10/mo, ranging from medical researchers to product marketers, which starts adding up. I don't have figures to back this up, but my intuition is that all the data we've been creating for decades will only have more and more value as we try to feed our machine learning algorithms with more data, to get more insights.
We should all be so lucky that any company or group of companies hold themselves to a HIGHER standard than the law enforces.

If you look at any one solar setup's output, yes it varies wildly every time a cloud goes by. If you're off-grid and responsible for your own power, this is a huge problem. You would need a fairly large solar array and some also fairly large batteries to keep you supplied with power. With a large, geographically distributed grid of different types of generation (Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear, maybe a bit of fossil generation, and battery storage to sop up the excess), these problems become much more manageable.

Well answer your question about why this is interesting to people. The difference between mis-use and proper use is the interesting question. This is not an approved use of ketamine, and the people administering and issuing the drugs were not licensed professionals.

I understand and accept that you're fine with Dockerfiles, but your statement is overbroad: Heroku and Pivotal aren't the only ones in the industry frustrated at the shortcomings of Dockerfiles. I'm glad alternatives are growing in number. (Others include Buildah, to be included in RHEL 8; and the Docker image support for Bazel.)
