That's because the topic of my tweets is not about github, it's about people who (for the reason I don't understand) tend to rely on free third-party services on the internet, and expect stability and consistency from these services, but always forgot to read terms of service and do not expect that the service may delete their data of whole account without any explanation.

I always expect that, because I always read terms of service. This is an excerpt from Github ToS:

>GitHub has the right to suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Website at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. GitHub reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

So I don't understand why people give attention to some problems with my account, why anybody should give a clue and why this is a topic for discussion. Nothing unexpected has happened. I never stored sensitive data on github, never used it for OAuth, and this account does not have serious value for me. I have all the data backed up locally, on external drive, on several others git hostings and on remote computers. I don't know the reason yet, Github did not send any notifications before shadowban and I did not receive a reply from support yet, but I'm pretty sure that neither GoodbyeDPI nor Super UEFIinSecureBoot repository are to blame. Most probably this is false positive of their anti-spam system.

Ok, but what happens when somebody uploads a video that (by accident or not) contains copyrighted content?

Who is liable? The original uploader? All the peers who are hosting it? The viewers?

And how quickly can the content be removed?
I think that's one of the best solutions, but it would add a ton of customer service overhead for lost devices (if physical OTP generators are used), clock sync issues, device-specific quirks... And if we want to have a universal system for this rather than each service provider having their own one-off solution, someone would need to foot the bill.
> electric motors are much lighter than gas engines for the same amount of power

That varies wildly based on what kind of engines and motors you're talking about; it's not consistent enough to be applied as a generalization, especially when it comes to aircraft (turbines are some of the most power-dense engines available). See here [1] for examples.

For a blog that claims to be anti-nihilist, the entire piece seems to be promoting the very nihilist idea that there's no "true altruism", and taking a hardline stance on a very win-win situtation. Yes, Google gets something out of training you to use Google Products. They are a very big company. That doesn't mean it's not a fair exchange.

Most of their rhetoric is about painting google as a monopoly, but they offer no evidence. They talk about the mealiness of the offering, but registration limits on free classes are hardly unreasonable.

Full disclosure: I am an ex-googler who's currently quite pissed at the company.
Complete nonsense. Physical media played a part. Before the walkman you had to share music with everyone in the room. The identity association that began in the 60s. The rise of popstars, the Beatles, cds, etc.

Nothing to do with copyright.. more people were breaking copyright during this period. In fact the people who broke copyright spent the most on music. Everyone broke copyright by recording songs from the radio. The first mass market recording devices were everywhere.

> The number of farmers is decreasing not because it is harder to be a farmer, but because farming is becoming more efficient and mechanized.

Yes, but if the children of farmers have left and aren't going to take on their parents' industry, what happens when they truly can't do it anymore? The machines don't run the farm, yet, they only make running it more efficient and easy. You still have to know what to do, and go out and get it done, and this isn't something that people can just pick up in a day.

If the natural apprenticeship mechanism that used to provide for this has been broken, what's going to replace it?

I don't really think of myself as a music collector. I just like to know that if I decide tomorrow I don't want to pay for a streaming music service any longer, I'll still have all the music I care about. That said, given that all the major music services have at least most non-niche music, having subscriptions to some things is just the way things are these days and you're probably not realistically going to drop a music streaming service.

Video is, of course, much more fragmented but it's also different in that you're not going to rewatch most video content. There never were music rental stores (although libraries did/do have music) but video rentals were a thing pre-streaming.
from my experience the only way you get better salary is to jump around, not too often, but if you stay with one company for two long(say, 5+ years), you become the lowest paid at your level in general.

only if you're on the management ladder you want to stay longer, for tech and engineering roles, the old employer does not really appreciate that much after you're loyal for too long as far as compensation goes, very ironic but it's the way it is.

Revenue-based or shared earning financing at first glance looks a lot like a bank loan, almost the original revenue-based financiers... the loan officer isn't going to approve the small business loan if it doesn't look like you have the revenue to pay it off, and 'return cap' is roughly kinda another way of modeling interest rate returns.

Can you talk more about revenue financing vs. bank loans? eg I assume bank loans are lower risk and often want physical assets backing the loan instead of paper equity. I'm curious how this model fits into the broader world of alternatives-to-VC-financing.

Sentiment Analysis of Product Reviews
That's the sort of thing a detective would work out relatively quickly though. If you share none of your mother's DNA, the only possible explanation would be adoption. And if your mother, for whatever reason, told the detective you were not adopted. Then that detective would have their suspect.

So if you tried that, the stranger would have to be a very carefully selected family member in any case. Someone from your mother's side, same gender, not likely to submit his/her DNA, AND not likely to be in DNA databases already due to prior arrests. (Also, it goes without saying that they can't be adopted.)

But even taking all these precautions, I'm pretty sure a detective would still work it all out.

Some non-technical founders do legitimately bring value to a start-up.

From a technical person's point of view, a lot of non-technical folks come asking with nothing of value to offer to the relationship. No customers, no market validation, no funding/capital/money, nothing other than an idea that has been suggested by ten other non-technical co-founders.

This starts pretty early in college/university, and for some folks, in high school. So much so that there are entire startup programs whose entire value proposition is to teach business skills to technical people.

This isn't meant to offend you personally; it's based on many folks' personal experiences of getting burned.

If you're genuinely different, then I suggest hiring someone at market rates to make your business work.

I think you're just better off working on the product and talking to customers (though obviously that idea is not original to me). Talking to VCs is a time trap and may further lead you to do the wrong things.

I don't think the dating/marriage analogy holds. If VCs are contacting you because your business is booming, you don't really need much of a relationship.

That’s not true. You’re describing a rocket, not a turbofan or even a turbojet. Fundamentally, modern high bypass turbofans are just shrouded propellers. Could reach supersonic speeds in the same way using electric.

Lift to drag is about half as good at low supersonic speeds as transonic, so cut your range in half, but fundamentally there’s no reason you can’t achieve supersonic electric flight. Just need good batteries to get that range...
The part about air intakes doesn't make any sense. In order to move the airplane forward it has to suck air in at the front and accelerate it out the back. That's just basic physics, regardless of whether the power comes from batteries or liquid fuel.

(Obviously rocket powered airplanes don't need air intakes but that's not what we're discussing here.)

I wish I spent time learning how to use Emacs in the past to a degree where customizing my installation was faster than learning something else.

As I stand now, it seems really hard to justify to invest time into it when the benefits over using something very easy to work with (like JetBrains IDEs for Java or VS Code for Python) sound marginal.

I know experts can fly around in it and it looks amazing. Having a single point of entry for all kinds of things (ssh to VM, git, text editing, org mode, email...) sounds great, but it is so much work and it seems like I could always be spending time doing something immediately beneficial with the tools I already use. Not to mention that the end result might not even better for the given application (can I really hope to have easier time developing a Go app with Emacs and couple not-so-actively developed plugins than GoLand/VS Code?).
It's entirely possible to disable this by adding an exception for the WSL directory in Windows Defender. In my experience, this vastly improves IO from within linux.

Top performers are already working for far less than the value they create allegedly. Usually, there are a whole host of people working on a project.

Right now you have fake writing and producing credits simply designed to generate a stream of income for the musician. I think going to a salary would allow people who are best at writing or production or something other than singing being able to focus and it brings the cost to produce a record down.

You may or may not be able to make more money independently. You never know when the public is going to move on to some other sounds and you never know the perks that are lost as a result. The top of the top performers probably could swing the independence but for many it may not be the way to go. The bottom line is that for the vast majority of musicians a salary system could be better to work under.

I think everything should be on the table as it relates to how the music business is run and that's what the Spotify CEO said he was interested in. He's just doing from one side instead of both sides of the equation. That's why the vast majority artists and content creators are on the losing end of Streaming.
I feel that you are being overly reductive. My midwestern parents spend half their evenings on Facebook with Netflix on in the background now instead of simply watching cable TV. Society is having huge, diffuse discussions around overuse of phones, internet addiction, political problems of connectivity. Most of the popular personal entertainment apps are based in SV (as is Pixar, if you want to discuss influential art). Culture is not paintings and sculptures, it's the way we behave and interact. Consider that prior to Da Vinci's era, painting primarily was seen as a trade and not an art. With technology uprooting our society piece by piece, I see no reason to consider technology anything but a core cultural driver. SV is currently the center of technology-based culture, for better or worse.

Technology progresses, the amount of labor needed to run a farm decreases. Not all the kids are leaving, just lost of them. Also, the farms are increasingly becoming corporations rather than family affairs anyways, they do find people to hire if they pay enough. Otherwise, they just reduce labor needs by mechanizing.
Off the top of my head, both lithium polymer/lithium ion cells are much more temperature sensitive when compared to most liquid fuels. When flying fpv quadcopters in cold weather, (speaking from a anecdotal hobbyist experience here), I get a much lower maximum current for the first minute or so until the individual cells warm up due to the internal resistances. This translates to less total raw wattage. Total battery capacity is reduced as well.

I imagine a big challenge would be keeping the batteries at a happy temperature.

A quick google search shows the Solar Impulse team ran into this problem:
(https://www.theverge.com/2015/7/11/8933295/solar-impulse-sus...)

Edit: The above in regards to providing reliable electric power. Disregarding this, the main downside by far is energy density of currently available batteries.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density, a kilogram of gasoline has about 53x as much energy as a comparable 1 kilogram lithium ion battery.

Gasoline 46.4
Lithium-ion battery 0.36–0.875 (MJ/Kg)
This is cool indeed, but don't get too excited - this is a puff piece touting (220, not 300) preorders that aren't yet real orders and might never be.

The plane is not FAA certified yet (the first and only prototype flew in February), and the 4 seater (which accounts for half of the 220 preorders) won't fly until 2022, and then will have to seek FAA certification too.[1]

Electric motors and batteries have a long way to go to even come close to power density and weight of kerosene or gasoline aviation engines.[2] Batteries also don't get lighter with reduced charge - something most aircraft rely on with designs and efficiency (ie. 500lbs of batteries weigh the same when nearly empty).

It's also notoriously difficult and extremely expensive to certify new engine types for general aviation commercial pre-built's - which is part of the reason majority of modern GA aircraft still use very old engine designs (just not worth the investment from the manufactures). You can't just show it works... it has to be proven to work in a number of extreme situations and for very long duration with extreme reliability.

Getting a new engine type into an Experimental Type Aircraft is much, much easier...

I'd also hope the motor electrical system is fully isolated and separate from the aircraft's other electrical systems (maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen anything discussing this so far). Electrical problems happen, and losing all systems plus the motor at the same time would seriously jeopardize the safety of this aircraft.

I agree with gumby's comment, and also wanted to add that.. I can afford the most expensive clothes you can imagine. I really can. But since I was a teenager I always disliked paying someone £€$ in order to become their walking bilboard. I equally dislike when I give my car for service, and the garage sticks 1-2-3... stickers with their logo, without asking me. If they want advertising space, they should pay for it.

My typical 'uniform' is jeans and some long-sleeve shirt, the ones you buy from Primark for £5 or £10. I have searched for similar items without logo and I can't find anyting decent. Even Patagonia sticks a logo.

They can keep their brand to themselves. If Burberry makes a long-sleeve the way I want it, without any isnignia, and the quality matches the price, I will gladly cough up the £100 to buy it, because I know it will last me 10 years. Until then, I am keeping my money - my money. :)
I'm fairly certain the non-ironclad part is in the handling and processing (testing labs screw up quite often), not in the actual methodology or ability to accurately identify individuals.

At least with simple "mother's maiden name" type questions, you could, if you were concerned by its insecurity, choose to use a secret value. With the automation of the process, that is not an option, while the security value of this pseudo-secret information will be eroded by its inevitable over-use.
Ion thrusters? Not sure if they're at all practical yet, but that seems like a decent solution, especially if you can ionize the air you're flying through.
That's not very indictive of Tesla. The driver ignored multiple signs posted with a 25mph limit, yellow 'tight curve ahead' signs and all, with plenty of time to spare.

Also was there a mention of the car following the dirt line? It seems to me it loses traction way before that, and most likely disengages.
Yes. I didn't say that I felt it was necessarily malicious, but that I guess that is what happens. If you look at the parent comments there is a lot more context and he accuses the other dev of maliciously exploiting security issues after discovering them. Would seem likely that he is the one responsible then.
