You're exhibiting shortsightedness when it comes to "source". If I give you some RPG [1] or maybe some ALGO 58 [2] source code are you going to just compile and run it no problem? How about some FLOW-MATIC [3]?

Point being that computer languages come and go.

I suspect you're defining horrible comments as, "comments expressing views I don't like and wish didn't exist". Germany has particularly extreme and unusual policies regarding migrants/asylum seekers/refugees, climate change and a few other such things. Is it any surprise that extreme views in one direction trigger extreme views in the other?
Pock – Display macOS Dock in Touch Bar
So, the only way I would EVER use something like this is if I controlled it. The only way other people are going to adopt this is if it's easy to install in your own environment.

I think that offering this as a cloud service is short-sighted. Not only is running this in AWS going to be prohibitively expensive if you're doing it for "free", guaranteeing that you'll either need to add advertisements or start charging for service (making you no different than Google, as a service), but running it in the cloud eliminates most of the advantages of using Google Apps.

I think that the website should be more focused on installing the software to your own server, and that if you have a cloud portal at all it should be a demo environment, rather than a planned SaaS solution.

It's also sort of out-of-character for a .sh FOSS website not to include some sort of .sh installer for getting everything up and running on a fresh Linux VM.

Given that this stuff is supposed to be a replacement for Google's suite, and Google focuses on ease-of-use, it wouldn't hurt to create apt/yum repos for installing official binaries so that people can throw this onto a cloud server and get up and running in a few minutes, rather than digging through your source and trying to compile all that Rust code from scratch.

I'm going to work on getting this running in my VMware environment, and I am going to play around a little with the docker container, but it would be really nice to be able to install this in production easily, and have the ability to update it in-place easily, because that's the only way I am going to play with it as a serious tool.

The warning that none of my data being guaranteed is pretty much a dealbreaker for me to beta test this thing for any important task if I don't control it.

The existing implementations still have a long way to go. Here’s the chat I just had with cleverbot, the first thing it gave me after going to the site:

> Good afternoon. Do you know any good places to get dinner?

> Mot really.

> What about dessert?

> That's if you're a good bot.

> Not for you, for me.

> Okay..

Completely useless. I asked Alexa to find me the article on hacker news from today that talks about chat bots, she said “Sorry, I don’t know that one”

As a random, unscientific test it’s not very useful yet.

China was a no-go, the major hotel I stayed at in Suzhou was incredibly nice, had a great price on the room, and an expensive per-piece laundry service. The tiny hotel I stayed at in Beijing didn't have laundry facilities for guests.

Shinjuku Prince in Tokyo also had the usual high per-piece laundry rates. I don't 100% recall but I think the Ryokan I stayed at was similar.

I AirBnB'd through the UK, so I didn't have to worry about it. Same thing in Mexico, didn't bother with hotels.

Throughout the US it is a no-go of course.

I don't have a Peloton at home but I do have a treadmill, elliptical, and some weights and getting a stationary bike is on my list. It is really convenient not to have to go through the ceremony of going to the gym. I can go to the room across the hall and work out anytime in front of my TV. You really don't need a lot of different weightlifting equipment to stay in shape. Just an adjustable weight bench (which I have) and adjustable dumb bells.

You can stream Yoga classes if you want. I also don't have to be around germ infested sick people in the winter and wait on equipment.

> It is a bad analogy only in political sense. Not everything has to be seen in political light.

Then don't give such analogies. Analogies are made to shed light on your argument. Not to convolute it further. And analogies have to have some sense to the topic at hand. The analogy you gave doesn't make sense even if you take it non-politically.

> instead of having to learn their languages (or them having to learn Tamil) first.

I don't think you have actually encountered ground reality. In Bangalore's private companies it was a trend for Tamilians to only hire Tamilians. It got to a point where if a Kannadiga spoke to a Tamilian in Kannada the colleague would reply back in Tamil. This led to an agitation against Tamilians in Bangalore in the 90s especially after the Kaveri verdict which was the tipping point. So when you say stuff like this I just can't take it seriously.
GnuCash: Open-source double-entry accounting software
I guess I should start a service that provides small indie devs with "first party" analytics. I provide the software, it runs on a server dedicated to you, your data is separate from anyone else's. That's first-party, right? But I suppose I would have to charge 3x more for that than Amplitude does.
I don't understand what you are saying more than "Just do the right thing, it should be obvious for everyone".

The target audience here is a large enterprise that has value cost and stability for years and has separate Dev and Ops (often not in the same country) and not only follows all those standard processes but has also added a lot of their own written Word documents to the pile. There are check lists, approvals, delivery managers, product managers and all kinds of other managers involved in every release.

How do they even start with your advice?
Warning: this is baseless speculation from someone with only a semester of cryptography experience.

If you asked me to implement "randomized public keys" I would generate a master key pair (MPUB and MPRIV). Then, I would combine MPRIV and a random value N in a one-way function to make a new key K. I would use K as effectively a "random public key" and use it as if it was MPUB (the one-way function would have to output a K that is in the same format / usable like MPUB). I would distribute N along with K, as N is useless without MPRIV.

I have no idea if that is how they did it but that's what comes to mind.
While I agree in principle, like, it probably applies to most companies, this seems a little dismissive for something with such a clearly altruistic goal. At least look into the profit model and remark upon that instead of adding two words to a four word citation and posting that to the thread.

I didn't, and obviously wouldn't, say that Roundup-Ready seeds aren't license-encumbered. What I said was that you don't get in legal trouble unless you plant them and then spray them with Roundup --- in other words, you can't "accidentally" use the product, because to use it, you have to do something that would kill an ordinary crop.
> Outsized in comparison with what?

With any of the other hundreds of platforms that cater to political discussion.

So what? I'm not suggesting that YouTube isn't popular, I'm saying that just because its popular doesn't mean YouTube should be prohibited from curating it's own platform.

> Do you think his politically oriented content has no impact on the politics of his ~100 million audience?

The impact is negligible. Nobody cares what PewDiePie thinks when they enter the voting booth. And even if they did, it's YouTube's prerogative to kick off whoever they want, and if they decided to kick off PewDiePie... who cares? YouTube drama isn't important.

> Hindi and Urdu, by any reasonable linguistic definition are not separate languages.

For any non-Indian person reading this, please note that this statement is 100% false. I am an outsider to Hindi speaking and Urdu speaking region. I have no dog in any political fight here but I have studied Hindi all my academic life and can assuredly tell you this statement is utter rubbish.

But this might not be a fault of OP. A lot of people have this feeling because of Bollywood. Both Bollywood and Hindustani music is a cross of both Hindi and Urdu. If you never study Hindi or Urdu but watch a lot of Bollywood movies you will end up learning a bit of both the languages. But that does not mean they are same.
Benefits: You get your stuff quicker from Amazon

Risks: See everything else

Do you really, like I mean _really_ need your stuff from Amazon same day, hours after ordering it? No, you really don't. Nobody does. It's a convenience, a nice-to-have, but is totally unnecessary.

So, I think the burden of proof lays squarely on Amazon and it's proponents of this type of service, to prove beyond any reasonable doubt the risks can be mitigated to the point where the public accepts them as a trade-off.

Having potentially 50lbs of drone fall on your car while you're driving home from work is probably not going to be acceptable... to name just one risk that will have to be proven to be minimized. Or noise levels will be controlled near neighborhoods etc... Other industries have to prove their new thing is safe and acceptable for the public... why should Amazon be any different?
That's pretty interesting, but how were you in a relationship with someone and still shy around them?
The problem I see with this is that your phone always has to be broadcasting the BLE beacon, regardless of if it is lost or not. Otherwise it could randomly end up lost in a place with poor/no service... and would never be found

For phones, how often is this really an issue? Sure, this is useful for the Tile type "dumb" devices... but if my phone has no cell or data service... it's probably because the battery is dead.

To clarify the SMTP RFC (RFC 5321) says that a valid e-mail address is defined in RFC 5322 - Internet Message Format.

RFC 5322 does say that a `+` is a valid character in the local part of an e-mail address.

The `+` character being used for address aliasing is, as far as I can tell, not mentioned in RFC 5321 or RFC 5322

I'm not sure why you were downvoted. I almost exclusively write exception-less C++ (compiling everything with "-fno-exceptions"), but correctly handling errors in constructors and destructors is absolutely an important concern. It's not hard to do, obviously, but it does require forethought and heavily encourages delegating complex logic to other parts of the code.
A co-worker of mine once said then he heard a greater variety of spoken Indian languages in the Bay Area than he’d ever heard back in India, where he was born and educated. Never thought of a polite way to ask, but I’ve always been curious as to how many Indian co-workers of mine share a language other than English - seems like the number could be lower than expected, given the sheer amount of different languages.

> The point I'm making is that it's probably not a good idea to allow certain private spaces to suppress free speech.

And it's a good idea to force private spaces to allow everything on their spaces or declaring it public spaces even if they are not? What about the implications? If your private space becomes a public space, does it make you some kind of government?

> As I understand, you can't display them anywhere in your country

Sure you can. You can have as many swastikas in your living room as you wish. You can also have them on public spaces or on TV if they are part of some artistic performance for example. But that's derailing the actual argument. The amount of people present on a private property do not take away the owners rights.

> What matters is whether people feel as though they have lost their ability to peacefully and meaningfully advocate for their interests.

Nobody takes that away from them. They can still express themselves elsewhere. Those places exist.

> I'm not interested in debating your strange and highly restricted meaning of the word.

And I guess this is the core of the problem. You just chose to blindly ignore that in favor of the use of the phrase to advertise your point which is based upon a misunderstanding of private vs. public.

> The people you mean to refer to are not my concern.

But they should. Especially if you want concern for your own position. This is how a healthy society works.

I'm curious about this line:

>Users receive 10% in user rewards for sharing bandwidth with the network.

Does this mean the users who are visiting the site with the Arc widget (acting as seeds for the p2p cdn)? Is Arc going to send me a check in the mail, and if so, what registration do I need to do to get that money?

If most users don't sign up to be paid, what happens to their "share" of that 10%? Is it redistributed to other users, or kept by Arc?
Not 'nobody on call', just 'unnecessary on call'.

Have you ever gotten paged for a transient error that went away by the time you checked it? Or paged for the same error 5 weeks in a row? These, and really most pages, are fixed by DevOps.

In a DevOps system, a feedback loop is used to address all alerts as bugs to be immediately and permanently fixed. After a while, if something breaks, it's because someone just changed something, so it's happening during working hours. Alerts pop up in slack and are acknowledged before a page is sent out. So nobody is getting called.

If your infrastructure is ephemeral and managed as code, you use CI/CD to deploy all changes, and you aren't resource-constrained (at this point, cloud-native infra is only constrained by budget) you shouldn't have stuff crashing randomly at 3am, so there should be very few pages.
That's really not different at all from any other operating system. The "laypeople" in court have previously been perfectly able to consider even highly integrated OS components as separate from the whole - such as Internet Explorer in the case of the big old Microsoft antitrust lawsuit.

I think that a more likely reason is that Apple have plans for macOS that wouldn't play well with GPLv3's anti-Tivoisation measures.

Hi, Thank you for the the harsh feedback.

Bloom being open source, if you want a more private option than the hosted service bloom.sh you are totally free to host it yourself.

The first two yes, but I disagree that the last one is so much of a political wedge. The fact that English is the de-facto official language, but not actually an official language is the source of much headache. Actually designating several languages as officially supported (English for sure, probably Spanish as well. Maybe others like Mandarin & Cantonese but that would make more sense to delegate to the State level) would be beneficial. It would have practical and meaningful effect. Perhaps not to an individual's daily life, but definitely for institutions that need to interact with large segments of the population. I also fail to see why you think this is a right-wing opinion. Liberal states including California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, have made English an official language.

Not in my experience and certainly not as a student. I'm not an expert but at my school اس for something that sounds exactly as /ɪs/ would be considered completely invalid. Only اِس would be considered correct. Actually, I think اِز (more like iz) might be more correct phonetically.
Some people have hypothesized that this isn't necessarily for finding phones. This might be about using phones (and iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks, etc.) to create a network like the one used by the Tile product for finding wallets, keys, etc. This could be a product Apple unveils in September.
How is that going to work? All communication that you initiate must be active. The only passive option would be broadcasts like TV or radio stations, but that’s not particularly useful if you want to view a specific website.

>And with all that, it's still 8%.

You'd have to see how big the other categories were to draw any conclusions.

In recent years, it's been widely reported that white supremicists have been responsible for more violence in the USA than Islamist extremists. See e.g.

https://www.jta.org/2019/01/24/opinion/right-wing-extremist-...

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/01/homegrown-...

My point, though, was not that white supremacy is necessarily more of a danger than Islamist extremism, but that you were massively understating the danger it poses in your original comment ("they could never pull off even one hundredth of what ISIS has been pulling off for years").

> This lists all anti-Semites as "white supremacists" even though there is a lot of anti-Semitic extremists who have nothing to do with white supremacy movements (Hamas and Hezbollah would be "white supremacists" by that definition!)

I think you're pulling a bit of a "no true white supremacist" move here. If you want to get into that kind of thing, we could also pick over the question of just how much "Islamic" terrorism is really Islamic in its motivation.

> Is this getting only 8% of the press attention and other coverage and assigned 8% importance compared to other violent threats?

I think so (?)

I don't have figures, and I'm not sure where one would obtain them. But I'd say that Islamist terror attacks certainly get more press coverage than white supremacist terrorism.
Okay, so this would make it insanely easy to stalk any iPhone user.

1. Get BLE tracking tags, and register them with Find My.

2. Covertly attach the BLE tracking tags to things your target owns (backpacks, cars, bikes, etc).

3. You constantly get updates on your tags locations via their iPhone and other iOS devices near the BLE tag(s). This gives you their approximate location and movement history, facilitated primarily through their own iPhone and data plan.
SQL has no row/record names, only column/field names, in proper SQL most of the naming would go inside field values. Doing numerically intensive work this way usually requires both a lot more code (long queries with lots of joins) and a huge performance costs, unless your problems are pretty small.

Pandas is somewhere halfway that and raw matrix/numpy math, automatically aligning dataframes by row and column names first before doing computations. Even though performance is usually closer to numpy than SQL, the extra overhead is sometimes large enough for people to drop down to plain numpy.
