Hey everyone. To expand on the description - after the Dolli mobile app was built and ready to be launched there were several road blocks. The first was Stripe - they wouldn't turn on the Dolli live account. I found a new processor and laucnhed the app. The Apple app store rejected it, but it was live on the Google Play Store. A day after launch the payment processor cut us off. This led to a scramble to find a new payment processor. The process was long and there were many rejections. At the end I realized this is the problem blockchain technology was built to solve. There is a centralization of power that has the ability to block creativity. Dolli was started with an attitude of rebelliousness and it makes the most sense to not work with any banks, or Stripes. Dollies should be available on the free and open internet and available for anyone to buy using cryptocurrency.

The really interesting story about Steinway is that there are actually two Steinways.

Steinway in Queens, NY, and Steinway in Hamburg, Germany.

It was two branches of the family that ran them, and got separated by the war.

Before they unified, they did do cultural exchanges of techniques, methods, etc.

Today they are one company, but the pianos they produce have individual characteristics owing to distinctive methods, techniques, and materials used by each factory.

During the war, Steinway Hamburg was also forced to become an arms factory, so there are German weapons out there made from tonewood that would have been great pianos

https://www.chuppspianos.com/steinway-sons-pianos/history/

I think it's one of the great cultural integration stories, that people can get separated and come back together even after war and terror.
We can't have one of those in the US because lots of people are afraid that it will be the "mark of the beast" from the book of Revelation in the bible.

I'm not kidding.

Nothing would make more sense at this point then some kind of federal identity standard that used real crypto to prove someone's identity. The US Postal Service already has offices in every community that could be used for enrollment. For what it's worth, the Federal Government does this for all it's employees.
The "original work" vs "plumbing things" distinction is very vague - we all stand on the shoulders of giants. E.g. PageRank also can be seen as Algebra stuff plumbed together.

Even if we go with your definition - why do you assume that someone who practiced leetcode/hackerrank stuff and thus are able to pass interviews is good with the "original work"?

I tend to think that the current interview practices have two (eventual) goals:

1. Hard to change jobs because practice is needed.

2. Tests how dedicated/desperate the candidate is - willing to allocate time for preps.
On the scale of tanks or battleships, it is significant.
All main Intel uArchs since after Pentium 4 are derived from Israeli work. They did the Pentium M, which became the Core series after Intel finally figured out they weren't going to get 10GHz 30 stage pipeline Pentium 4s. The Israeli group's work basically saved Intel in the mid 2000s from AMD's competition.
They've already got a product called `Dataroma`, I'm not sure if this acquistion might cannibalize Dataroma customers.

I was worried about all of the above when switching to Arch (Manjaro KDE) from Windows as a web developer/CGI artist/graphic designer, however it's been easier than expected and I've decided to stick with it. Maybe these programs are worth your time:

DaVinci Resolve for video/audio editing on Linux, which has a great free version and may be the best editing software on the market for any platform. I've done a few professional jobs with it and greatly preferred it to Adobe Premiere/After Effects/Audition. Highly recommended.

Krita is great for photo editing/digital painting and Inkscape does a good job of replacing Illustrator for most uses. GIMP is still unbearable for professional use. This is the biggest gap in quality software for me - nothing can truly replace Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator or InDesign yet.

Figma is perfect for UI design/wireframing/prototyping and has a fully featured web app.

Blender is insanely powerful for free software these days (see Next Gen on Netflix for a feature-length movie created entirely in Blender) and Octane/Redshift render engines are available for industry quality 3D images.

VSCode handles all of my web development and native Linux terminals are much, much faster than WSL when installing and running tools like Webpack, Gulp etc.

LibreOffice covers 99% of use cases and looks pretty slick with a good theme, however I use Google Docs or Office 365 to ensure compatibility with clients' machines.
It's hard to from the outside, but I would guess the biggest factor that correlates with easy is amount of red tape. The more bureaucratic, the more non-work is done in place of actual work, the easier the job.

So I'd say large corporations or government jobs would skew easier. Maybe work for a large government organization?

> Protonmail can not send data it doesn't have,...

Is there any documentation on what info they have that is verifiably encrypted?

I assume their JavaScript library(served by them, and trusted by our browser) encrypts the body of the email using a key of the user's choice. What about the email meta-data, and the authenticity of the crypto library they serve and use?

I don't use protonmail because they lack the ability to do a full text search on emails, which is critical to my usage. But, I'm curious about their security implementation just to understand and possibly learn.

Can the Swiss govt simply gag order them to serve broken crypto to everyone so that they can get legal access to some user's email?
Nurturing the Banking-FinTech Partnership
Your list of "strings attached" to Firefox are fairly weak because most represent a trivial few clicks in settings. Insisting that a piece of software must ship preconfigured exactly to your liking seems a bit selfish to me.

Really though, how onerous is it to configure a fresh Firefox profile to suit your preferences? (And how often do you reset your Firefox profile anyway?)

Complaints about Pocket are largely emotional. It's a service run by Mozilla just like Firefox Sync and others. I agree it would be neater for Pocket to be implemented as a plug-in, but you could say that about a dozen or more Firefox features besides Pocket, so why single that one out? And really, why do you give a shit how Pocket is implemented if you don't use it anyway? Just switch it off.

Firefox Studies is a mechanism that is in principle no different to automatic updates. Studies is functionally less invasive than automatic updates and exists only because Studies allows for progressive roll-outs, rapid roll-outs and rapid roll-backs. Don't like it? Just switch it off.

Couldn’t agree more with the analysis- I just wish some of the politicians running on a “break up big tech” platform could show they’ve thought about these issues half as much as the author has. They seem to mostly be appealing to voters emotionally without ever diving into the significant details like “what is a monopoly”, “are these companies monopolies?”, “what good will come from breaking them up?”

> The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

so anything that is not distributed with the operating system needs to be available as source code, so that you can credibly offer to distribute the source code to the recipients.

>I am trying to explain them that cars are not growing on trees and producing a new one is not really that environment friendly and that during past 10 years cars were not improved so much in terms of CO2 emission to justify the change

If anyone else is wondering, I think you're right about this. I've looked into it and there are a few people who've tried to tackle the question of what's better but I find they all have some problem with the assumptions they make, largely because it's just a difficult problem with a lot of variables. Mileage, age of each vehicle, expected life of each vehicle, what emissions can be attributed to production, whether to include emissions of the inefficiencies of recycling one but not the other, etc.

I decided that a new eco-friendly car and a similar old used car were close enough in emissions - i.e. within the same magnitude - that it wasn't worth it if it's your only reason for spending the money on a new car. What's far more effective is reducing mileage done in a car.

Interesting, I've always taken being able to do it for granted.

A lot of companies use Tableau to visualize their data. In the future if they want to use Tableau they (speculation) might have to host their data in SalesForce and/or be directed to use a number of other SalesForce features if they want the latest coolest dashboards. To me this acquisition seems be a play toward growing customer usage of SalesForce licensed functions and data migration to their cloud, rather than based on the current revenue stream. The lock-in is strong.

SalesForce has been pushing Einstein Analytics recently. I haven't used it, but I do see that moving an organization from Tableau to Einstein has a lot of costs involved so this would be a hard sell in many places. Having them both under one roof means they're able to bring a bunch of people across to their cloud and now that license revenue year over year is theirs with the additional data lock-in.

As someone that really dislikes vendor-forced lock-in and generally dislikes the way SalesForce controls your data, rate limits, maxes, licensing, etc, this move is about even more control up your stack that will seem like a "no brainer" to decisionmakers, which is dangerous. That said, I'm sure it will work well for some organizations.

EDIT: I would also love to see them spit out D3 or other open visual but then they'd be losing control of the secret sauce and the requirement for a license. Not sure there is an incentive to go that route.
Like wow man... AMD makes the chips for the Xbox One and the PS4 and Intel acts like they are a newcomer?
I wondered the same thing, but the article mentions "[...] dropped by parachute, complete with tuning equipment and instructions", so I'm guessing the soldiers had to tune it themselves using that tuning equipment (and these instructions were probably "how to tune this piano").
This is a very nice resource. Thank you for sharing.
Is this somewhat common? It makes intuitive sense, but the big 3 or 4 or whatever number it is (IBM, P&Y, etc) consultancies have "use us for everything" as their explicit strategy / part of their sales pitch.

So while they might lose customers like you, there is clearly ridiculously large piles of money up for grabs if they diversify their products, rather than remain specialized. And, of course, any sufficiently good specialist is at risk of being acquired by one of these behemoth generalists.

If you are using X11, you can use xcalib to modify gamma/brightness/contrast of the color channels individually. My own quick hack is "xcalib -invert -alter" which simply inverts the colors. This probably breaks subpixel rendering, though, but IMO subpixel rendering looks like crap on low resolution displays and is pointless on high resolution displays.

Even if every paper is amazing, I still don't have the time to read about all topics. So even if every submitted paper is great and should be published, we still need sorting by topic.

Add to that the fact that "publish or perish" has lead to a decline in at least amount of "actually new information" per paper if not outright in quality of papers. And that is not going away easily.

Great article. As an aside: I found the bit buffer function a little hard to read. I suspect that's because I haven't done a lot of work where I've needed to manipulate bits in a procedural way. Can anyone recommend any resources / exercises for me to get better at this?

I'll bite - how the hell could cryptocurrency replace central banks?

To me it seems like the same logical flaw of any the Unabomber thinking sending mail bombs could shut down all industrial civilization. It not only doesn't make sense but it has no logical connection. It is less logical than thinking one could conquer the US with an army of bowmen on horseback - it makes no sense given the massive disadvantages but an army can conquer at least.

Their actual roles of currencies and central banks are "the medium needed to pay taxes" and pegging the currency ratio to optimize for the economy.

The closest replacement I could see being viable would be the central bank issuing their own as an option and perhaps allowing "instanciating" and "deinstancing" to physical currency.

Oh, yes the C++ Memory model was definitely based on Java, although it has diverged a lot. FWIW, Doug is credited in a bunch of papers to the committee.

As a user for more than a year I've suffered data loss using the Bridge Client on macOS, seen (and have copies of) encrypted phishing emails originating from trusted TLDs and PM themselves, and well, if they fixed something in the new release I'd really hope it would be the Phishing report button - which doesn't seem to work on Android.

I looked at Tutanota as an alternative, but in the end all I really wanted was something that integrates with my operating environments and just works. There are plenty of ways to communicate securely. Email doesn't have to be best one.
