It is fascinating. People often disregard the book because its main thesis, the identity of a mole within MI5, appears to be misguided in light of post-Cold War knowledge. But there's more to the book than Wright's speculations -- it's his direct experiences with things like analyzing The Thing that make the book worth reading.
> You either outlaw camera's completely or you have to accept that you might end up in the background of somebodies photograph.

You don't need to outlaw cameras any more than you need to outlaw knives to keep people from stabbing others. But as mentioned, there's a fundamental difference in the idea of privacy, I suppose. It can be understood as "something that happens in a non-public place" or it can be understood as a larger idea that you have a certain right to not be surveilled, recorded and stalked.
Seconded. It really emphasises how far things have come in a relatively short time, with the technology not so long ago being very basic compared to what we read about from, for example, Snowden.

This extradition law has far reaching consequences against freedoms and the rule of law that locals have had until now. That's why there's so many people who normally don't mind Chinese geopolitical moves coming out into the streets compared to other protests like the umbrella movement.

This is a such a weird niche. Personally I love "business card" websites but I feel that this is not a correct way to approach this.

Why stick with this weird format instead of some responsive grid/flex design? Why only limit to two slide pages? It seems like you guys reinventing wheel here and burdening yourself with unecessary restrictions.

Can't say for sure without spending some time with your code, which you would need to entice me to do. Without a resume, you need a portfolio. That could be one app, if it really catches my attention. A blog with a few short but insightful posts about programming could help too. Catching me at a meetup and demonstrating some intelligence and thoughtfulness would probably clinch it.

Your marketability is fairly limited with just vanilla JS/LAMP. At this point I'd say learn basic React, Node and Python (preferably) or Ruby. Familiarity with AWS would also be a high return investment. You don't need to know any big back-end frameworks (e.g. Django/Rails) really well, but be able to bootstrap a project and use the management app. Spending some time with a microframework is a good idea (e.g. Express/Flask/Sinatra).

At your level working remotely part time is probably not going to be an option. Offering to take a lower salary during negotiations might get you a few days remote but I wouldn't expect it. I would definitely negotiate for more remote time as a reward for positive performance reviews though.

I wonder what the continental fibre infrastructure looks like. Does most of the traffic go via a handful of choke points on the way out of Africa, and would traffic from Kenya to Nigeria (for example) go via somewhere like South Africa, despite the extra length of distance involved?

>no one in my country and other European countries pretested when extradictions acts were signed with USA

That is entirely and very obviously false. There were even public protests, and plenty of articles in the media objecting to the extradition of Julian Assange very recently. In fact in Europe it is not possible to extradite a person to the USA who might face the death penalty, and there are considerable concerns about the treatment of prisoners in the USA, so your specific call out of that issue shows this absolutely is a legitimate point for public concern and protest.

Yeah, my anecdata matches yours. I didn't start lifting until I read all the nerdy rave reviews of Starting Strength on this very website (circa 2012 maybe), and bought the book and tried it.

I was already in my late 30s, but in about a year, I doubled my strength on barbell squat, bench press, and deadlift. (Almost any beginner/novice can do this, BTW!)

But, it was a slog. I failed a lot, often repeatedly, before I could complete all my sets and advance to a higher weight. So the progression was slow.

Then we had a second kid and that was that — no time for lifting for a while! Like almost 2 years. And I did revert to a weaker version of myself (still 50% stronger than I was originally, though). But when I finally got back to it, I got back to 90% of my peak in maybe 6-8 weeks.

That same story repeated after we had a third kid.

That is news to me - I've thought they were a scrappy startup.

Just, you know, hire good project management and docs people.

Exactly!

Your editor is also your presentation tool here, and it knows where all the line breaks should be, so it can do the edits for you. It works those around the content. If you hadn't included the line-breaks in the first place, it wouldn't even have needed to do that (well, ok, it would to "soft-wrap").

If you passed/copied the file to someone who prefers a 78 character line to your 100 character line (or uses a machine from the early 80s for retro-cyberpunk chic), when they render the file, several things could happen:
- their viewer/wditor might add temporary line-breaks to soft-wrap, in which case they'll see some short and some long lines
- their viewer/editor might add hard-wrap line-breaks at 78 chars. This would remove all your 100 char ones, and could potentially break your content because it might not see the difference between a "wrap" and a "new paragraph".

In the second case, when you get the file back later on, the content wont suit your preference for 100 character lines.

When the presentation is kept out of the content, none of this happens.

My point was that even in something as simple as a text file, adding presentation commands (line breaks), adds work, or hinders accessibility.

Scale that up to HTML and the wider range of possible presentation options. Say you used the old-school inline colouring options. Maybe you find green text on red backgrounds really fun to read. You encode that into the content (the markup). Pass this file on to someone with red-green colourblindness (c7% of XY-chromosome carrying humans[0]) and they wont be able to read your file at all.

i started lifting at the age of 30. starting age is not that much of a factor (i.e. now, at 37, my lifting numbers partially exceed those of OP at 10kg less bodyweight). it does limit the performance ceiling you'll be able to reach, but this is probably a lot further than you'll be willing to go anyway. which isn't even completely true; there are winners in the olympic weightlifting masters division who didn't start lifting until late in life.

the biggest difference is, most likely, the amount of time you'll be able to spend in the gym and it might take you a little longer to get started properly as you'll probably have limiting deficiencies in mobility at first. but this is still negligible; one or two months really don't matter much if you plan to lift for the rest of your life. only being able to lift twice a week will still do wonders for your health, looks and wellbeing.

i can get in shape quickly now, but at first it took me 12+ months to get the technique down and it would have taken me 12+ months if i had started at 18 (which is not entirely accurate - there is not specific point where you'll finally "got it").

It's unfortunate that the script doesn't output whatever is associated with the current day. The revolutionaries had at the same time replaced name days with something else to celebrate each day. They were agricultural in nature (crops, animals, etc.), with a tool thrown in every 10 days. Which must have felt like a giant FU to peasants when you think of it: Your day off will now be every 10 days instead of 7 - and you'll be celebrating e.g. the plow during that day.

Mars has gravity and can use our normal mining and manufacturing, it's straightforward to dig in with shovels for shielding. Launching from Mars is easier, so it's a probable path to the belt.

I don't see economical viability for the Earth in any of these scenarios. Maybe only the straight breakthrough in zero-g autonomous mining and return of precious metals from the belt to Earth.

But isn't the issue wider than just not having datacenters? As I understand it the issue is multi-faced and composed of:

1. Reliable power
2. Reliable connectivity.
3. Lack of trust from users (prefer outside providers)
4. Expensive (no economy of scale)
5. Lack of inter-country connectivity.

All of this makes it hard to actually build a profitable data center provider.

Swarm would probably cross that line even without any of the blockchain stuff. It's more akin to Freenet than Bittorrent and would probably function better as a decentralized backend for most people. Expecting an average person to run a Swarm node is probably unrealistic in anything resembling its current form but allowing resilient decentralized sites which are accessible from any one of a number of gateways should be doable when/if they actually get around to implementing insured data storage that is the key component to the entire idea.
Nope, it’s not like you think.

You can start weight lifting, following a “Russian strength” program (just three exercises, heavier weight, small sets of 3-5 reps), and the experience noticeable changes within 4 weeks. And I’m not talking about a lot of time at the gym... perhaps 2-3 hours total of exercise per week.

Not only will you get strong, you will start burning more calories when you’re not even moving. Plus, you’ll feel more energy and more drive/discipline to eat better and go back to the gym. In fact, a common problem is wanting to go to the gym too often. (The older you get, the more recovery time needed between workouts... more workouts can actually be detrimental.).
