This is not a great approximation. In the UK you can assume almost every person has a payment card that works on the internet (debit and/or credit). In Poland on the other hand, the number of systems gets silly (https://m.lot.com/us/en/payment-methods-on-lotcom)
And it will keep driving all of this because aside from enthusiasts and privacy focused people, nobody is willing to pay for Internet services such as FB, WhatsApp or IG. Few people are willing to pay for news.

How many subscriptions am I supposed to have anyways if my go-to information consumption mode is to cross check several websites?

I don't want to be confined to NYT, Der Spiegel, Wired or WSJ. I want all of them whenever I please. The Internet made this possible and now we are on the road to taking this away again.

At the very root of all of this is the Internet's financial reliance on advertisements. Advertisement based business models need to die but at the same time we cannot lose the free, accessible Internet as it used to be.
S-money: Ultra-secure form of virtual money proposed
I used to make most of my notes in plain-text. Horribly inefficient, but I love ASCII games so drawing all my diagrams in it was fun to me. Just ran some of them through this software and, beside a few formatting errors, they look amazing! This is unbelievably useful.
In the UK in the mid-90s. I was well paid at the time on £10k or thereabouts gross, so about £650 net per month

An office PC was at least two or three times that price.

Despite being a 'computer whizz' I only had a Spectrum 48k at home until 1995. PCs really were high-end goods.
Can't get it to work. But http://matsemann.com works. I think the difference is that my domain works even without a "Host" header.

Edit: Not quite correct that it works. My domain responds with a different dummy-page in IE 1.5. I get the same dummy-page with curl

curl http://matsemann.com -i --http1.0 -v -H 'Host:'

Difference being it's served as 200, while same command for example.com with no host gives 404.

I think the web is just broken without host headers, as too much is running on the same ips / through routers before touching the real underlying page.
Uber's Eye-Popping IPO Approaches. Is It Worth $90B?

A new type of money that allows users to make decisions based on information arriving at different locations and times, and that could also protect against attacks from quantum computers, has been proposed by a researcher at the University of Cambridge.
The way I see it free Software enthusiasts who advocate against copyright believes that without the ability to derive rent from copyright, companies will just release the code in hope for contributions. Rent seeking is thus seen by this group as the biggest reason why companies keep software strict proprietary, and it is a fair trade to give up on GPL if we could remove the rent seeking. In this scenario, EULA and other contract-like mechanics to replicate copyright would equally not be allowed, and right to repair addresses most issue around DRM in this context.

It is a very different strategy than GPL, and doesn't look very likely to happen given the trend in both EU and US, but I see it as a valid long shot strategy. It would be a terrible strategy however if we gave up GPL without anything in return.
Literally NO ONE wrote the below:

Every Friday go online and withdraw all-but-the-necessary £€$$ to your bank account (transfer wire or via card number). I do get some revenue via PayPal, and the very same day (or the next) I 'download' comes it to my bank account (connected to PayPal via card) and IMMEDIATELY is shipped to another account that has all the controls to make money (relatively) unmovable.

I perceive PayPal as my wallet. I do keep 'some' money in it but I keep the motherload away 'layers' deep.

My money flow diagram, in the back end, includes "tax", "expenses", and "vault" (alarm Scrooge McDuck) accounts.

I see PayPal as the envelope that I am given the cash in. It doesn't stay there for more than 24-48h.

Edit: someone below mentioned they do spam.. if e.g. USA authorities has alerted them about doing shady things, PayPal would also receive a gag order with it to a) freeze their $$$$ and b) gag them. If I was Niteo I would get my pencils sharpened and wake up my lawyers.
Uber and Lyft Caused Major Traffic Uptick in San Francisco, Study Says
You still have to consider maintenance, insurance, etc.
I've had so many bad experiences with PayPal. (One of them was having the money in a checkout-through-Paypal transaction frozen for no reason. They insisted that they would keep my money and not pass it on to the vendor if I didn't set things straight by sending them a FAX; no other mode of communication accepted).

Even as a consumer I now no longer transact business through PayPal if it is at all avoidable. If I want to buy something from an online vendor that only offers PayPal, I will go to great lengths to find another vendor that offers a payment mechanism other than PayPal.
Have you read any of these reports? Are you sure they are truly necessary? There have been written reports on the human rights situation of Woman all over the world since the 70s. Do you think those reports contributed to anything? Their formulation is extremely formulaic, the people writing them are underpaid interns or overpaid politicians, that got that cushy job by years of mingling in their respective home countries party system. They don't truly represent the will of the people. In the UN it is especially egregious, you have cousins of African strong men, sitting next to sons of Saudi rich men.
This is like the software equivalent of Red Letter Media's video library.
The whole business model of Silicon Valley is finding companies that can grow to become abusive monopolies, and then growing them into that. Cut off one head and two will take its place.
There are lots of horror stories about Paypal, but there is an obvious problem, nobody is going out of their way to write a blog post about how Paypal always worked for them. You can find pretty much the same horror stories about any Bank or credit card company.

To each their own but this is quite a bit overkill. I’m running a gig connection (with only 40mbps ingress) with a 16TB NAS setup and it serves all my needs. People in this thread are complaining about the Apple premium but then you see people talking about buying multiple thousand USD NAS setups to get around having to use cloud storage.

> Why would Human rights groups be entitled to have this censorship privilege?

Indeed, who watches the watchmen? The SPLC was recently embroiled in sexist and racist controversies. No human organization is exempt from corruption. We all have to watch each other while simultaneously be charitable and willing to forgive.

> Plus the title is misleading: they're not deleting evidence of war crimes, they're deleting upsetting and distressing videos from their open platform, and that's a good thing!

Debatable. There's no such thing as a right to be "not distressed" or "not upset". Being a member of any human society means being exposed to stresses of all kinds, and we arguably all have the stressful duty of guarding our human and civil rights.

> I don't think it's possible to outlaw what Facebook does without unforeseen consequences.

You don't have to outlaw it, just tax revenue from the undesirable behaviors to dis-incentivize them. In Facebook's case (and also that of much of the web), most of what people object to is the practices that support personal profile-targeted ads. So tax those until page context-targeted ads become attractive.

That's the second comment in two days I've seen along the lines of "You can't risk pissing off Uber because they might ban you." What a sad codependent relationship to be [ADDED: or feel you are] so locked into some uncaring tech service that you feel you basically have to just put up with whatever mistreatment they dish out.
You have moved the goalpost quite a bit by expecting such high standards from Android. As in you're asking for a message that absolutely every user can understand, while for iOS you've been totally fine with power users being necessary to identifying threats.

Puzzel Regeling En Waarnemen
I can definitely relate to his feelings of not being taken seriously in school and being put in the spotlight without oversight. I frequently did dumb things when I was in middle school, and it became a self-actualizing thing as I became increasingly frustrated that I had been pegged as some kind of criminal for doing mostly average rebellious teenage things. But what really got me was when I was increasingly blamed for things I DIDN'T do, and the frustration of it all led me to lash out because I had a difficult time refuting baseless claims against me.

School administrators don't give a damn about the majority of their students. They mostly care about their image and the top 5% of students who make them look good. If you're even remotely troubled, the school system chews you up and spits you out.

I think the worst example of this from my own experiences is during High School when I was put in "alternative education" because they just didn't want to deal with me anymore. Nobody thought "maybe it isn't that he can't do the work, maybe there's problems he's dealing with that nobody cares to ask about" or that the increasing frustration of being a social pariah and someone who can't find the words to express his issues was the problem; they just didn't care, so they just threw me out.

Fortunately, I did finally get my act together and get through college... but I sincerely hope that what I experienced doesn't become common-place just because school administrators would rather "throw out the trash" than deal with the root of the problem.
Interesting, is there any alternative for the EU market?
My wife got kicked off PayPal in 2005 because of a password problem. Maybe she could have reactivated it by sending a fax, she never did. Since then she asks me to buy stuff on ebay.

Digging a little deeper into Google N-Grams was enlightening in a different way:

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=nerd%2Cnerds&y...

There are lots of "nerd" occurrences before 1950!

However, looking a bit deeper:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22nerds%22&lr=lang_en&tbs=l...

These occurrences break down into a few categories:

- mis-recognition of "needs" or "herds", etc.
- incorrect date assignment
- possible foreign words

If you also found this interesting, I guess we both fit in Dr. Seuss's zoo.
"Crypto" should not be exclusive to mean "cryptography" however it is undesirable to reuse a shortening within the same field. Which is true in this example given "cryptocurrency" relies on "cryptography". Whoever came up with the term "crypto" for "cryptocurrency" did not think it through enough. Especially on any technical website, the usage of the newer and less relevant [1] shortening is unnecessary. TL;DR simply use the term cryptocurrency if you're discussing cryptocurrency.

[1] Yes, since cryptocurrency depends on strong cryptography. If the latter is broken, cryptocurrency is also, but so it the entire Internet.
Lots of people (especially in Europe) only have debit cards and no credit cards. And those often have worse consumer protection or in the best case you're still out your money for a long time during the dispute.
I don't know if they'd describe it as "worry", but take a look!¹

>We think that Mosh's conservative design means that its attack surface compares favorably with more-complicated systems like OpenSSL and OpenSSH. Mosh's track record has so far borne this out. Ultimately, however, only time will tell when the first serious security vulnerability is discovered in Mosh—either because it was there all along or because it was added inadvertently in development. OpenSSH and OpenSSL have had more vulnerabilities, but they have also been released longer and are more prevalent.

> In one concrete respect, the Mosh protocol is more secure than SSH's: SSH relies on unauthenticated TCP to carry the contents of the secure stream. That means that an attacker can end an SSH connection with a single phony "RST" segment. By contrast, Mosh applies its security at a different layer (authenticating every datagram), so an attacker cannot end a Mosh session unless the attacker can continuously prevent packets from reaching the other side. A transient attacker can cause only a transient user-visible outage; once the attacker goes away, Mosh will resume the session.

> However, in typical usage, Mosh relies on SSH to exchange keys at the beginning of a session, so Mosh will inherit the weaknesses of SSH—at least insofar as they affect the brief SSH session that is used to set up a long-running Mosh session.

Until they arbitrarily ban your consumer account too, they just 'permanently limited' an old account I used on occasion to buy things on ebay without any problems that I haven't touched in a few months. No 3rd party access that I can tell so hilariously banned at random.
I think C++ could get most GC usability benefits if there was a better/simpler syntax for shared_ptr and unique_ptr. I have written code with extensive shared_ptr usage and it was
quite pleasant if you ignore the ugly syntax. On the other hand even after years of C# I still miss deterministic destructors.
For a real mistake on their side? Unlikely, but possible. Still likely less important than losing 1.5k.

> adopt democracy 2.0 (no parties, no president/pm, no cabinet ministers, elected speaker, continuous citizen participation) and that’s that.

That's not “Democracy 2.0”, that's either 1.0 or a pre-release version, with modern liberal Western democracy spread out across something like the 4.x major version range (not every one on the same minor version.)

The version you are talking about doesn't work well with large, diverse, or otherwise complex societies, though it's fine for small hunter-gatherer bands.

> I have trouble understanding why we should break up Facebook but not google. Is it because we think google is less evil than Facebook?

The article does not argue against breaking up Google, in fact it says:

It's basically saying Google's next if it doesn't mend its ways.
I have good memories using IE3,4,5. With IE6 the UI took a turn for the worse. The look of IE7 freaks me out.

Edge just looks like Chrome, which is acceptable to me.
What advantages do proponents of inheritance say that it brings to the table? As far as I can tell, the code reuse aspect can be replaced by composition, substitutability can be replaced by subtyping, and encapsulation can be replaced by immutability and functional purity.

On the other hand, the problem that I see with inheritance is that it ties code reuse and subtyping together. I don't see any reason why the two should necessarily be related.
I also notice that. If i remember correctly i use it lot on Windows 2000.
I love a fresh card!
> I learned pretty early that inheritance relations can be trivially refactored into a delegation based design

You can go much farther and discover that OO state mutations across multiple methods can be replaced with higher order functions that let you keep state mutations local, within context of each function. Suddenly OO becomes this weird very unproductive and error prone way of writing and reading code. An entire OO concept is just bad, always was, nothing can fix it.

At least with Javascript higher order programming was always possible.
TL;DR Don't let devs manage your systems.
> Simply put, as it is not reproducible, it is not science.

The study cites its sources and means of calculation and therefore is falsifiable. If there was anything obviously wrong with it, I'm sure it would've been proven wrong by the many people who don't like the conclusion.

That's irrelevant to my point. These "electric highways" are being built in Germany, so the German energy mix counts, not that of other places.
> How should I carry all the equipment for climbing, skiing, camping, alpinism, paraglide etc through the city?

Pay for taxi. or live someplace closer to the mountains. Or keep your car and your equipment somewhere else outside of the city. Why should society sponsor your outdoor interests? Aren't you feeling entitled to your personal convenience at the expense of others?

which is why I carefully used the word Naive, however I had little time to expand on it so I can't blame anyone for overlooking that.

Then you give examples of manually offloading memory management to the programmer. It should be done, and I believe the book I reference covers it (can't find it now, sorry), but definitely not by the programmer else it's not automatic GC.

> ARC is usually atomic reference counting.

That won't make any necessary inter-core or inter-socket coherency traffic disappear.

> Any heap allocations [...] is likely to cause memory fragmentation.

My memory was that refcounting was particularly bad but feel free to disregard that as I can't justify it. I may well be wrong.

Awesome, congrats! I'm at 2.5 years of no artificial and as close to 0 "natural sugar" as possible. I don't have any fruit and I don't drink milk but have the lactose in cheese sometimes. I also have tomatoes sometimes so there is a little glucose in that. Generally, if I could, I'd have 0 -ose completely.

It's done wonders for my A1C and weight. It definitely gets easier after the original weaning. Now it doesn't even take thought or effort and I have no regrets at all.
This is the type of laptop I would get with RISC-V. That would be amazing. But for an ARM Laptop I'm not interested enough. But decently a cool project.
For me as a consumer if Paypal is the only option you will probably have lost me as a customer. I hate navigating through their mess of an UI and I also hate how they do not respect that I want 3D Secure on all credit card transactions (but this is more the fault of my bank which should deny their transactions).

You are crazy if you think Facebook won't have much of an impact on the 2020 election... It's the ad targeting platform of choice for people who want to target specific demographics. Why wouldn't Facebook have a deep impact on the 2020 election?

Do you really think a company of Facebook's scale will be able to detect and somehow neutralize all of the political ads that are introduced into their targeting systems even if they wanted to, which they don't because it's antithetical to their revenue narrative.

It's depressing how quickly people are willing to throw away the civil and human rights that have taken millennia to win. Let's hope it doesn't take actual violence to remind people of the difference between speech and violence. We haven't had real physical strife and a world war in our generation to keep this distinction fresh in our minds.
So while we're at it we should look at breaking up Google as well.
I'm always tempted to answer to clear phishing or scam e-mails telling the sender to FO, or folllow the link to the predictably broken website for a laugh, but then I think that it makes more sense to just move the email to the spam folder and move on.

Why give further information to the scammer, even if it's just my IP address?

There's no point in putting a "private/public/protected" security model in a programming language. It isn't a security boundary.

It’s about intention. If I mark a property or method as private, it means that I can get rid of it, rename it or change the expected behavior without considering it a breaking chance.
