I fear people are down voting you for having been wrong originally rather than for this comment.

Which is a shame, because we all do things this stupid sometimes and your frank admission of having done so is laudable.

It is protected against government intervention by the exact provision which protects Mozilla’s right to not feature it.

You confuse defending the freedom to speak with actively supporting those speaking it.

Freedom of speech includes the freedom not to amplify speech.
Added the word native to the title. Hopefully, it will reduce confusion.

Exactly. They just have to correlate device type & OS version & IP address & date/time to have a pretty good idea of which other apps (& their “unique” IDs you have).

The more they do it the more they can narrow it down, until they reach the point where they have a set of IDs that only ever come from the same device/version, IP address as well as very similar times of day.

Usually deep work, backend integrations and distributed communications, architectural consulting and implementation. So at least generally for me, when I'm blocked, I don't tend to be entirely blocked, where I need my answer now now now or everything is ruined. :) Plus, it's very important to have collegial relationships with the people that I am working with.

I can see being more impatient with this if I were in Ops and everything was an urgent fire all the time. Sometimes you just need the information as quickly as possible and that's what you need to optimize for.

But for me, if someone asks, "Hey, you there?" I'm sort of thankful for the opportunity to say, "Hey! How's it going, what's up?" rather than think, "Just ask me the question already!" As a remote worker it's often more important to optimize for the relationship because that's how you stay connected to what's going on.

The best part of an emergent global economy is that any single government can only over-reach so much before the country's GDP plummets in the global ranking, leading to revolution or collapse.

Perhaps she was hired for her skillset as well as being African American. If you are trying to include more minorities in your workforce then having a person from those minorities will have perspectives that people who are not from those minorities will not have.
Takes a while for people to learn. That time is way more expensive for everyone involved because it also costs you on the mentor side. I've figured out a thing: lots of strong engineers want to work with other strong engineers. They want to execute. So I give them that and they leave places where they spend most of their time trying to support or teach other people.

And if someone is too junior based on our initial phone call, I just direct them elsewhere and hit then up two years later when those guys have mentored them. Way easier.
it is already here! If you use a mix of SSB, GUN, DAT, IPFS, & WebTorrent.

SSB = Social-like P2P data.

GUN = Firebase-like P2P data.

SEA = End-to-end encryption. ( https://gun.eco/docs/SEA )

DAT = GIT-like P2P data.

IPFS = Images/assets.

WebTorrent = Video-like P2P data.

I love the idea of IPFS, but I can't think of a use case not covered by torrents.

Would someone mind enlightening me regarding what sets IPFS apart from torrents?
The piece makes some good points about problems with converting certain color schemes to grayscale. This is a not insignificant thing. It is quite common to print charts and graphs in grayscale, either because the only available printer is black and white or because color printing is substantially more expensive.
Uber is affordable mostly for short distances. For more the 10 miles or so, uber like any other taxi service starts to get expensive. So yes, Uber competes with public transportation. In certain categories like short distance Uber has an advantage. But in longer distance, public transportation has an advantage.

Using git as a filesystem performance metric is horribly flawed -- git was written from the beginning to perform perfectly on Linux. It's the most native linux application I can think of.

(Not because it's using secret system calls, but because its design was vetted and performance tailored for Linux.)
In Zircon interrupt handlers can happen from user space. So you would have to make sure the process was not scheduled on a core you want no interrupt handlers scheduled.
Yeah, Emacs is one of the things I'm still using 20+ years on. Not a lot else I'm still using from those days.
Excuse me, but define a CRUD developer.

The Trouble with Classification
1. Swap your control and caps lock keys, or if you never use caps lock set it to an additional control key. I think this is useful regardless of whether you use Emacs or not.

It's also a good idea to use opposing hands when using modifier keys. To press control-H, you would use the left control with your left hand, and the H with your right hand. Again, this is true regardless of using Emacs (it applies just the same to typing capital letters with the shift keys).

2. Load Emacs.

3. Press Control-H, then press T. This loads the Emacs tutorial. It should take about 10-15 minutes to run though.

If you use Bash/Zsh or Mac OS, the basic cursor movement in the very first section of the tutorial can also be used in the Bash/Zsh shell, and in many Mac OS textboxes as alternatives to the Home/End/PgUp keys etc.

4. Read the manual section on macros [1]. I don't know so many emacs-level-10-wizard level commands, but making a macro saves me a lot of time and thought at least once a week.

It is possible to use hydrogen or kerosene based fuel cells instead of batteries http://figures-of-speech.com/2018/04/fuel-cell.htm.

Another advantage of electric airplanes is that for them it would be much easier to takeoff and land vertically.

Artist+AI: Figures and Form
Essentially WSL is to Linux what WINE has been for years to Windows: it translates Linux system calls natively to Windows ones so that Linux binaries can be executed on Windows without any recompiling or virtualization.
Technically is a great milestone, but there are some risks: suppose one day Microsoft implements a way to use Windows GUI elements or other resources directly from Linux binaries and people starts writing "Linux" software that uses the new capabilities, de facto requiring WSL (ie Windows) to be run, how many Linux users would jump ship?
My only fear is that Microsoft could be planning to do just that.
> Hickton opened an investigation and quickly set his sights on a special unit of the Chinese military — a secretive group known as Unit 61398. Investigators were able to watch as the unit's officers, sitting in an office building in Shanghai, broke into the computer systems of American companies at night, stopped for an hour break at China's lunchtime and then continued in the Chinese afternoon.

> ...

> But when Hickton went to the companies, eager for them to become plaintiffs, he ran into a problem. None of the companies wanted any part of it. Hickton says they had too much money on the line in China.

There really ought to be a law that mandates that 1) companies disclose any and all hacking incidents/data breaches they become aware of and 2) co-operate with the government in the investigation of those breaches.

Though I'm a little confused why they would need the "the companies to become plaintiffs." Wouldn't hacking be a criminal matter that's would be directly prosecuted by the government? Did they want to go against the hackers both criminally and civilly?
So the largest problem here is the lack of competitiveness of Italian exports on the global market. That's creating a vicious cycle, where poorly performing exports depress wages and internal demand, leading the country to depend further on capricious foreign markets. This trend will continue, as lower-wage countries continue to intrude on traditional Italian products.

The solution should be to improve the competitiveness of Italian exports on the global market, which will serve as the foundation for economic growth. The article states this fairly plainly, and I agree. However, I don't think a government-led technological push, which the article advocates, is the solution to this.

Instead, the government should increase its spending on public infrastructure, while continuing to make structural reforms that allow businesses to organically diversify into more profitable areas. For all this article's talk about Italian labor deregulation, it's still very expensive to both grow and reduce labor in Italy. This is worsened by high corporate and individual taxes, which both depress demand and discourage business expansion. A middle class tax-cut, which worked well in Germany's "economic miracle," would help alleviate this.

And finally, Italy has major regional differences in wealth and productivity. The south of Italy is much poorer and much less productive, the result of years of subsidies that have prevented industry from sustaining private growth. Infrastructure improvements there, along with a reduction of crime, and the ever-present bogeyman of political corruption, would help tremendously, along with an overhaul of the redistributive system to encourage productivity and economic growth.
Unfortunately... yes. They have Europe coming "really soon" when we were talking to them which we're excited about, but it's one location in the west coast of the US currently.
I'm guessing that everybody's going to lose for a while.

When Netflix began offering streaming services, the major studios weren't certain enough that it would take off to develop their own, but they were willing to loan out their catalog, make some money off of licensing, and see how things played out. Netflix had a large and varied library, and it was available in one place for a reasonable price. Now that the model has been proven though, the pendulum's swung the other way and everybody's trying to start their own streaming service.

I really don't think the market can support this fragmentation, though. Best guess: after a few years of loss, media companies with B-list streaming services will decide it's just not worth it to maintain and decide to go back to licensing. In that case, all Disney has to do is weather the storm for a few years and then buy up enough other catalogs to become a real player (e.g. in my view, Disney = not worth a second look, but Disney + Sony + Star Trek from CBS = maybe).
Thanks! I've eyed chunkwm, but was put off by its externalized keyboard-shortcut system. skhd scares me a bit, and I figure that since chunkwm is macOS only, it should be handling its shortcuts itself rather than abstract it out.

You’d think that a highly educated benevolent dictator could solve the problem of picking the right people for the club.

They must be aiming for the discourse, rather than their own power though - so that they could pick people hated by themselves or the other members of the club, if those people are bringing something new to the table.
If you can find someone who's mastered emacs to show you around, I think that would be a good start. I was fortunate in the mid-90's that such a person sat with me in a computer lab and showed me how much more powerful emacs was than I'd understood till that point.

With normal lapse rates (3.6℉/1000 feet), you're gonna need a heater in any general aviation airplane.

Single engine airplanes tend to use exhaust heat to heat outside air as a heater, so no fuel consumed. For airplanes that use a combustion heater, fuel use needs to be considered in flight planning. Therefore I'd expect the same for electric powered airplanes.

I'd argue that taxing the rich more and funding non-broken-window public infrastructure is a better policy for growth.

Including investment in education, transport of all kinds, 'going green' (maybe even large new-generation clean-nukes), and also dangling carrots in front of RnD / upgrades likely to produce positive economic impacts.

Not mentioned, since the focus on European governments probably means universal healthcare, is universal healthcare as public infrastructure. That too would be a useful structural improvement and serve to reduce economic friction while improving worker productivity.

"2019 Goal: The most used code and binary Package Managers are powered by IPFS."

That's kind of stupid-ambitious for 2019 when another 2019 goal is "a production-ready implementation" and IPFS has been around for 3 years already.

This isn't a roadmap, it's a wishlist. And I'm someone who wants to see IPFS succeed.
Websites?
It's based on things I've listened to women say about working in male-dominated fields, and on the many other studies that contradict the one in that article. Even the author of that study doesn't go as far as you, she admits the results do not mean there is no discrimination. "Radically overcorrecting" seems a couple of steps beyond that.

I guess we'll just both be astonished. Sometimes two people look at the exact same world and see different things.
That list is not exhaustive. One might also encounter "Peter Principle Beneficiary".
So anyway, I've been writing websites for 20 years, and this seemed fun. Some friend suggested I post it here, so I'm doing that just to shut him up.
You asked what kind of bad actors an open platform might have to deal with and I gave you an example with a very small platform.

Now you scale that up to match YouTube and it becomes a nightmare. YouTube is being pressured to take action by it's users because what's happening is exactly what I was talking about: They have bad actors taking advantage of your platform. That's where Elsagate came from or the more recent reveal of pedophiles using the platform to groom kids.

There is no unbiased way of solving this problem. Because you have to establish certain things as being bad for your platform, which means you are going to be biased against them. Youtubes reaction is in turn them trying to solve issues at scale when they clearly didn't consider how the platform would scale in the first place.

Running SerpApi.com. My main tip is to be as transparent as possible. Both internally and externally. The competitive edge that you are having by holding secrets is not worth the headaches of managing them. Even in our industry.

That’s not the same thing. Advertising a product involves using someone’s likeness to endorse a product, which is strictly controlled in many countries.

I think, philosophically, dark matter has been "seen" as much as anything. Like, radio waves are invisible, but you accept that we've "seen" them, right? So-called visible light isn't what activates your visual cortex, it's a cascade of rube goldberg machinery triggered by photons; the inside of one's head is dark. Nothing is seen directly, but all the things which we think we've seen have various intermediate steps before we can "see" them. We've detected gravity waves - is that "seeing", and do people who doubt dark matter exists doubt the gravity wave detectors work?

Main feature is automatic data-sharing between distributions. With torrents, everything is siloed, and data is only exchanged between peers of that torrent. IPFS doesn't care /why/ you're getting information or the link you found it from, just that it can find it by its hash.

Say you distribute "Julie's Webcast Complete Series" and somebody else distributes "Julie's Webcast - Episode 3, with Russian subtitles," peers and seeders from both distributions can share data for the shared content. Similarly, updating a dataset only requires downloading the new data.

This is done automatically, both per-file hashing and (optionally, not sure the current state) of in-file block hashing.
Swarm and IPFS together with Filecoin try to address the same problem - persistent data storage in a decentralised network.

Swarm is not at all "working already" - the incentivisation layer for nodes to store data for other users is not implemented and currently mostly theoretical and work-in-progress.

IPFS is more mature in comparison to Swarm, but the underlying architecture is rather different.

One practical difference is that all the parts of a "collection" are individually addressable in IPFS.

For example, unlike torrents, you can seed a collection like "My Web Show (All Seasons)" and add new files as new episodes become available. With torrents, you have to repackage them as new torrent files. IPFS also then encourages file canonicalization instead of everyone seeding their own copy of a file.

So... is there some way to have both the benefits of multiple currencies and a single one? The convenience of a single currency in terms of cash is becoming less relevant as cash itself is used less, but my understanding is that the main theoretical benefit is that it strengthens the single market. Basically allows EU companies to have suppliers and customers in any EU state, without having to incur currency risks. How great is that benefit? Could some of it be achieved while allowing individual EU members to control their own monetary policy? Or on the other side, could the Euro be kept, but the negative effects somehow mitigated, perhaps via changes to transfer payments, maybe based on the difference between what would be the domestic currency value and the Euro?
One could make the case that Chinese businesses and governments have a tighter relationship where the fruits of such hacking could be used to benefit businesses. While the NSA/other US gov agencies may be hacking chinese companies, I have yet to see any indication that it is done for the purposes of IP theft and/or anything is being shared with US businesses.
