But what if you are pirating a legal stream? Does the beer glass change per subscriber? And then surely they would know by just asking “does this pub, at this address, have a sky sports subscription?”

Seems simpler?

Also, side note, I’ve never seen the glass anything other than full.
> how would an IPv4-only host with an IP address of, for instance, 198.51.100.1, initiate a connection to a host with a "new" address of 459.256.369.257?

The destination address obviously makes no sense to the IPv4-only host, being outside of the space that it understands, so a direct connection is obviously impossible. (Are you even asking seriously, or is this just snark?)

The wide-address host would have to have an additional IPv4-compatible address bound to its network interface. Or else some other host would have to have such an IPv4-compatible address on its behalf and do NAT or proxying.
Not necessarily. Another way of looking at it is that GDPR is forcing companies to eliminate a common dysfunction, while at the same time restricting their ability to play shenanigans with user data. The end result is companies that are more efficient at what they should be doing, and restricted from doing what they shouldn't be doing. A win-win.

(While many business people used to how things worked are unhappy with the changes, sometimes you really have to bludgeon a fix through the broken incentive structures that plague businesses.)

It doesn't. This is all because there's a lack of women in STEM, and people trying to find out why.

If we can conclude that it's society's fault (nature/nurture) women don't like STEM, then we can change society until women are interested.

If the reality is that women are uninterested in STEM from a biological standpoint, then it's harder to manipulate to get women interested.

The people who are most concerned with this problem are really fighting the idea that any of this is biologically responsible.

probably not. contemporary writers connected the oracle's "powers" to vapors rising from the spring below the temple.
> it makes no sense to have an ad blocker that requires permission from the ad-blocked websites.

I don't follow what you mean by this.

Under the current V3 specification, as currently proposed, Privacy Badger (assuming they stick it out and keep maintaining a Chrome version) will need to be granted observation permissions on every single website, adblocked or not. The way Privacy Badger works is by determining at runtime based on request observation which domains it should blacklist. This is not going to be a fringe usecase.

Are you misunderstanding how the proposed permissions system works by some chance, or am I misunderstanding your argument? It's not the website you request permissions from -- it's the user you request permissions from for domains/domain patterns.

Why doesn't it make sense for a user to grant an ad blocker permission to operate on domains where they want it to block ads?
!!! I have experienced this. It's primarily people with shiny new macbooks who can't figure out where any of their files actually are even though they are constantly editing them!

Eventually there's going to be some serious blowback. You can't expect people to efficiently use their computers if they can't even find their godamn files!
The problem with a spatial finder is that it's all about ordering things, which is a hideously constrictive thing even as a dynamic process because it reduces everything to one dimension and encourages quantitative rather than semantic thinking (let me be clear that I'm blaming Apple for this unhappy state of affairs rather than the author).

Can you elaborate on this a little more? I'm not quite sure what you mean here.

To me, the spatial metaphor Finder was all about semantic thinking. I'd open up my project folder and all of the documents would be spread out visually, within the 2D plane of the window, and their spatial orientations and groupings carried meaning for me. Additionally, I'd tag things with various colours, such as marking a file red (for TODO) or another one green (for Done). This was just about as far from one-dimensional as I could envision a workable UI (3D UIs have been tried in games and they're pretty clunky).

As for bookmarks? I agree with you. Bookmarks suck!
I suspect that once I've better-internalized the borrowing mechanisms I'll be able to move at a reasonable clip in Rust. The build/package management environment is pretty batteries-included and "just works", and the syntax isn't particularly verbose, just strict. Once getting things to compile is no longer a debugging process for me personally, I don't really see any other intrinsic bottlenecks.
> First of all the seller pays the fees typically,

As others noted, you're only referring to the agent commission. This isn't the entire transaction cost.

And saying the seller pays it is like saying corporations pay tax ... all costs are passed on to the buyer in the form of higher prices (than would be otherwise).
Bank of Braavos sounds good too.
First, you relying too much on semantics. "Reversible" is understood to be "I can reverse taking away someone's freedom". They were in prison, but now they are not. You can't give back the lost time, and everyone understands that. Also, it comes from "reversing a conviction" which is a legal term.

Secondly, and I'm sorry, but your characterization is incredibly sloppy. The overall outcome is better if even one exoneration happens and you assume equal preference for life imprisonment vs execution. However:

* Many wrongful convictions will be exonerated. There are multiple per year. There has been at least one this year: https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/innocence-cases#CliffordWilliam...

* Further, while the preference might not be "infinite" you can just look at the overwhelming majority - innocent or not - of death row prisoners that exhaust all avenues of appeal to see that there is a strong preference there.

The model name with a number next to it is some sort of average (they don't say but I think it's geometric mean?) computed from all scores submitted from that particular model. It's not terribly useful because you have no idea how many of them are overclocked, by how much, the memory configs, etc. without reading through every entry and a lot of them are missing info anyway.

You can see all 9980XE Geekbench results here: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/search?dir=asc&page=1&q...

This 3950X result is definitely not faster than the top overclocked 9980XE, but it is faster than something like 3/4 of them. Given the base clocks of each I would expect the stock 3950X will end up at least slightly faster than the stock 9980XE though.
It's an incentive misalignment. IT is evaluated in 'how secure things are' or 'how easy is it to maintain' or 'does this give me more headcount'.

Not letting people do their jobs, or in how fast they can do their job. Employees are a captive audience, and if there was competition they would probably chose something else.
My thoughts exactly. People still have to provide some address to receive it, and if they are buying from a cop then when the package shows up the cops will be watching and when you grab it, you're busted.

Seems like you still need some level of trust, but please correct me if I've got it wrong.
Can't say I got that feeling at all.

Smalltalk is a tight design. So is Lisp. So is Forth. So is APL. C's design just feels like a pile of... stuff. Arrays are almost but not quite the same as pointers. You can pass functions but not return them. There's a random grab-bag of control flow keywords, too many operators with their own precedence rules, and too many keywords given over to a smorgasbord of different integer types with arbitrary rules for which expressions magically upconvert to other ones.

I recall hearing of a DirecTV or similar network using a trick like that: In the minutes prior to a PPV broadcast, they sent a "Subscriber bonus - call now to claim your free T-shirt" or something, but it was encrypted with a key that the legit receivers didn't have -- only the pirate receivers could decode it. Thousands claimed it...

No matter the merits of the case to be made for this specific policy, the state of Seattle isn't one of the highlights.

To clarify: there are all sorts of factors at play in Seattle's troubles, my point is that if you believe a the policy "we should stop charging people for personal drug use", "just look at Seattle!" isn't going to be convincing to most of the country.
Assuming your samples are of duration T, and you need X CPU time to fully process a sample through all filters. Pipelining allows you to process audio with X > T, nearly X = N * T for N cores, but your latency is still going to be X.

If it is possible to process with small samples (T), with roughly correspondingly small processing time (X), there shouldn't be a problem keeping the latency small with pipelining. If filters depend on future data (lookahead), it is plausible reducing T might not be possible. Otherwise, it should be mostly a problem of weak software design and lots of legacy software and platforms.

Wait. Do people actually routinely use the dropbox web interface? I only ever go there to manage deletion and recovery of files; and that's maybe at most only been necessary a handful of times over the years.

I have used dropbox religiously, even on my phone, from the day it became available. It's a folder on my machine that I put things in to sync across devices.
I'd propose Rust - it's also a static, stack-favoring, non-class-based language with OO features that compiles down to native binaries. Where it differs is a wonderful type system and top tier package management. If you can work through lifetimes and the borrow checker, you might enjoy it.
Great until you have five teams, each having chosen a different tool, and now you're wondering why the IT support costs are out of control.

Still possible to support but requires a different model e.g. one where IT delivers a new, unconfigured workstation to your new team member and it's up to them to build it. If it breaks, their loss of productivity is their problem and not ITs.

Authority for something (e.g. software selection) must go in conjunction for responsibly for consequences arising. Those things must always move in lockstep to avoid perverse outcomes.
Thanks for posting this. I've been repeating this stat quite a bit lately without knowing that it's misleading.

However, I still think we're in pretty dire straits:

> The report finds, in 2018, that 61% of adults would cover a $400 unexpected expense using cash (or its equivalent). Politicians and many in the media seem to be subtracting 61 from 100, and concluding that 39% of people, to use Warren’s phrase, “can’t come up with” the money they’d need to handle this situation.

> Instead, as the Fed report makes clear, though “the remaining 4 in 10 adults” “would have more difficulty covering such an expense,” many of them would be able to make it work by carrying a credit card balance or borrowing from friends and family."

That's still really bad. 39% of people can't cover an unexpected $400 expense without borrowing money from someone else, or effectively taking out a loan at 20%+ interest.

And the 12-14% figure for people who actually would be unable to come up with that $400 via any means is also troubling.

They've also significantly simplified the collections classes, removing quite a bit of abstraction. That was always one of the things that struck me as most ludicrous about Scala, so i was pleasantly surprised by that.

Indeed, i've been impressed by the Scala team's recent willingness to remove complex features generally. I didn't see that coming.

Could this be made a lot more efficient by combining with dialysis, i.e. targeting the cells in a dedicated blood-pumping machine with more surface area, no skin layer and less worries about collateral damage?
In the UK alcohol is cheap. But only in retail outlets and not in public houses. It needs to be the other way around. As you mention 'happy social drinkers' and that is not the same thing as sitting at home alone with a drink. There is a lot of low level alcoholism going on which is fine but I would prefer that to be 'happy social drinkers', even if alone in a pub.

Before Thatcher alcohol was widely available - in pubs. There were not corner stores and supermarkets selling the stuff everywhere. If you wanted take out beer to drink at home you bought it from the 'off license' bit of a pub. If you wanted wine you went to a specialist wine shop that would not be open all hours.

Now the thing that is going on in the USA is a lot of drug taking at quite an unusual level compared to what goes on in Europe.

Drugs in the UK exist but not in an epidemic. Teenagers and students smoke weed and then move on. In America the view of weed is that it is kids stuff, drugs start with white powders and things people stick into their veins. It is at a whole different level and quite terrifying.

It is a winner takes all capitalist society in America. That is where the drug problem comes from. Socialist republics (not that there any) don't have this problem.
> Isn't this just duck typing?

Yes

> Don't other languages renowned for their type systems do this?

No. In languages with good type systems, nominal types are very valuable. E.g. "known-immutable list" and "read-only view onto a mutable list" are very different types, but offer the same set of methods.
They tend to make builds 2x-3x slower, and the solution usually ends up being 'don't scan git directories and build software' or similar solutions that make them effectively useless anyway.

Then let's let those other cities, states or countries deal with this. Or do you deem those others so incapable that they require a nanny?

Give out only some milligrams of decent, even "organic" stuff per person, once every day - and the logistics will make it impossible to export any amount worth it, even at the todays prices.
There is a C++ implementation of libp2p being developed at https://github.com/soramitsu/kagome with help from the go-libp2p original implementers (and funding from web3.foundation). They've implemented a lot of the major functionality already. I'm sure they would appreciate contributors if you want to get involved. (Full disclosure: I work on the libp2p project)
If I've published it in any way then go ahead!

Seriously. If I publish something, I want others to see it. I don't really care if people see it because it was "pirated".
Handful of interesting points:

a) Scoot raised something like $47,000,000. This article reports a cash and stock deal of $25,000,000.

b) Scoot launched in 2012 and spent their first 6 years renting mopeds and electric bikes, only recently launching what we all think of as "scooters" in late 2018.

c) The founder illustrates what Scoot saw as a gigantic problem in the space - theft and vandalism (1). He then wrote a follow-up post a few months later illustrating their solution - a proprietary lock adapter from their bike sharing network (2). I wonder if we'll see this technology rolled out @ Bird?

> it seems like your position is that Behavior A often leads to Behavior B. Behavior B can harm you or your kid, so make Behavior A illegal.

For certain things, it's reasonable to police Behavior A rather than Behavior B. One could imagine speeding not being illegal, and punishing people extra for accidents if they were speeding. Society quite reasonably chooses to enforce the behavioral norms at an earlier stage. Likewise, if your kid almost steps on a syringe in a park (this is not uncommon in D.C.), what do you do? Arrest the guy who dropped it there?
> - Straightforward upgrades of the environment to incorporate security patches

How do you ensure that your exposed containers have all the relevant security patches, especially if the images aren't uniform? Are you using something like Watchtower to monitor for vulnerable packages and automatically rebuild and redeploy the containers when e.g. the underlying Ubuntu or Alpine image uses a vulnerable library?

Lots of people have the mistaken impression that containerization inherently protects their application from running vulnerable code. If you already have this built in to your pipeline, I'll be impressed!
The "Capitalization feature" is actually objectively worse because of the reason OP mentioned, of having to rename all semi-local usages when visibility changes. But good IDEs can help mitigate the difficulty of this.

But even more significant is that the Go authors cannot seem to grasp the importance of pre-existing conventions. Almost every language I've used in the past decade allows and encourages the variable, Class, CONSTANT convention.

It reminds me of people who want everyone to use CE and BCE instead of AD and BC, ignoring the inertia and relevance of the latter and almost seeming like we live in a vacuum where fresh ideas have as equal weight as old ones, and history doesn't matter at all.

I don't know how to explain this better, but this is basically the core reason I don't like Go, above and beyond any specific features or lack of features.

I once heard Go described as "what if we took the good ideas of C and started from scratch?" But it feels like they take that very literally, as if they were saying, "what if it was actually 1970 right now, and we didn't have C, and the next 49 years never happened?"

(This is a separate reply than my other one because someone already upvoted that.)
Then use your imagination and write some new novels. People are free to write whatever they want.
That's too bad. I used Scoot a lot back in 2012 before they even had one way trips. The biggest issue back then was also lack of availability near the Caltrain. I get the distinct impression that's going to be the achilles heal of the entire "last mile" effort in SF.

I'd be interested in learning if anybody takes the BART into SF and then uses Scoot or something similar. I imagine that would be more successful since there are many more stops downtown.
Sports in bars is a very different experience with sound on vs. off. Without sound, it's a background distraction that a few folks may be interested in. With sound on (even if the commentary is indecipherable), it's a collective experience that holds everyone's attention. Usually the bar will mute or put on music during commercial breaks.

I do wonder if alternative commentary would ever catch on. Imagine if instead of talking heads you had a music track that would mimic the tension of the game like a music score.
>uBlock Origin has over 10M installs and the author has stated publicly that they cannot effectively do what they do if this change goes ahead.

With the new changes to the spec outlined in this post, this may not be true anymore. Rules can now be updated with an extension update, network headers can be blocked, and the number of rules has been increased.

I don't know exactly what other features may be needed, but I imagine this helps close the gap. We'd have to hear from gorhill to know more.

IPFS already supports path-based lookup, starting from a hash which identifies a directory tree. For example, this is a valid IPFS URL which renders as a directory listing:

https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYXYP1J346Pic6UHV5AkUy1UgabtJV...

Normally that link would retrieve the content via a public IPFS gateway, but if you install one of the IPFS browser extensions you can have URLs like that automatically redirected to a local IPFS client.

As long as you stick with relative paths, it's not difficult to host a static website on IPFS. You can even configure a CNAME to point to a public gateway with special DNSLink TXT records so that visitors don't need to know the hash of the root directory. The end result looks just like a normal HTTP URL.[1][2]
