T-Mobile moght, Sprint won’t. They are a distressed company and no amount “shoulds” will change their trajectory. The question is whether T-Mobile deserves to grab all of Sprints customers in a “migrate by default” scheme, or their gonna have to fight for those customers when Sprint inevitably goes down.
Toy guns itself is an educational toy. It teaches you on how to use it. As kid growing up with guns the only way I can have my own and learn it is by having a toy version.
The mention at the end of "Internet time" made memories long forgotten rush back to my mind. A friend of mine had a watch like that. Did I too? Not sure. But it was the coolest shit ever, that's for certain.
$3000 USD for 100k users? If you can get five pennies from each you're better off than with this crap.
I don't doubt the stand is good, or the engineering and few units / no economies of scale makes it expensive.

I doubt it matters to anyone. Pro high end studios will use VESA mounts (and perhaps multiple monitors), and spare $899 per monitor (of which they'll get multiple).

And struggling small studios who just need one such monitor, will definitely skip the stand.

It's more for the rich high end guy, wanting to have a nice looking desk.
We have a decent idea what small players like Pakistan/NK have got, I think, in terms of number & sophistication.

While I'm very doubtful that the US or Russian stockpile contains a > 100MT warhead, I agree that if there was any serious reason to produce one, this need not take very long, nor attract much attention.

Large bombs are in the ballpark of earthquakes, for energy released. But how much of this would be contained in the water, not just blown into space, or something? Presumably someone has done the calculations...
You need to get this on Android. For the majority of iOS users, they have access to a larger screen so will prefer creating on that. The problem this solves is less pronounced. But for emerging markets, their Android phone is the first and only access to the internet. Designing a website on a phone isn’t a novelty, it’s the only way they’ll ever move beyond social media profiles to establish an online presence.
No. You cycle through new types of challenges that the model can't solve yet.

For example, one week of stop-sign recognition, another week of pedestrian labeling, etc.

I am also intrigued. And yes I do think that without an engrained culture of automation / engineering the long term prospects are dim.

But, the RPA projects I know of at major enterprises are deeply funded supported and reported right at the top. The justification and rationale are real - too many opaque manual processes, costing too much.

Yes it's a thing like "cloud" was - but despite the obvious fails (which primarily are to do with being on private cloud when no single company can possibly be big enough) cloud is a thing that's not going away for enterprises - neither will this

As for the "oss as advert" - yeah I agree. Good luck to them :-)
If you have no touch with how million live and work, then you probably should refrain from social commenting.
Congrats. This looks great. I had wished for something similar not a long while ago [0], and I'm really looking forward to using it. In Asia esp, commerce over IM apps is huge.

So, the only suggestion I'd like to give (without having used it) is that is it possible to make it so simple that folks could create websites from messaging apps like WhatsApp?

I think if you're proposing something as a "good alternative", then being able to understand why it got near-zero adoption, and failed in the real world, is probably important.

I would say that Namecoin appears to solve a problem that nobody actually has in practice.

I know advocates are pushing Ethereum Name Service, which does the same thing - but again, what are the lessons learned from nobody bothering with Namecoin?

(Namecoin is interesting, as it was literally the first altcoin. It hadn't occurred to anyone to fork the Bitcoin code and make their own coin until then.)
What's New in Dropbox Plus
There is indeed!

I'll start with the one I founded: Anvil, which is an end-to-end Web dev system with Python (plus a drag-and-drop UI builder, and lots more good stuff): https://anvil.works

Here's our version of how to
turn a Jupyter notebook into a web app:
https://anvil.works/blog/jupyter-notebook-to-web-app

(tl;dr there's a library you can `pip install`. It makes a websocket connection to Anvil, and then your code - wherever it's running, including a Jupyter notebook - can do everything you can do in our serverless environment, such as handling requests from browser code.)

But of course, we are neither the first nor the last to think Python in the browser is a good idea. A colleague of mine did a survey and comparison of the major open source implementations (including PyIodide, which you mention, and Skulpt, which is what Anvil uses):

https://pythontips.com/2019/05/22/running-python-in-the-brow...
Agree completely! We have a spike this week to look at the work to roll out an Android version. That said, we also need to weigh up the roadmap overall and tradeoffs of what the iOS app users need out of the gates
It would certainly help in some cases, and act as a delay in some others. It pretty much wouldn't stop a targeted attack since they quite probably don't really care about how much CPU use each request is using, and you literally have to publish the code to generate the hash, so it makes it pretty easy to reverse engineer.
Very interesting, I'm happy someone finally did a more statistically rigorous analysis of the Drake equation. Now I know where the aliens are hiding: in the long tail of an extremely skewed probability distribution!

Is an object really a god object if lots of people use it? I thought it was the opposite way around: a large object that contains too much functionality, but this device could be a tiny single purpose object for all we know, that a lot of clients need to use.
That's a cool idea! I will give that some mulling with the team!

(And thanks for the bug report, will get it sorted)

It's still an honor system. There's a way to generate code that will call the "private" or "protected" data/function even if it violates what's specified in the headers.
Indeed, you need a known, understandable and explainable error mode and model.

ANN are not even close to that.

Bonus points if you describe how they react to random perturbation - how robust the results are.

I'd rather not run a random `make install` (or, in Brew's case, as random ruby script) as root, though.
Or even dendrite. The Ruma author said on Reddit that they are waiting for async/await to stabilise in Rust before they continue working on Ruma because they'd likely need to rewrite it later if it was written without async from the start.

Great for engagement metrics though.
This is generally true with pytype as well, but questionable whether it's a good thing.

Inferred, loose parameter types are great, because while I think it's good to know the differences between iterator, generator, iterable, sequence, container, and so on, it's difficult, and inference will give you the loosest one. But with return values, the inferred type will be the tighest, in other words your function will return a Dict (or worse, a defaultdict) instead of a Mapping or MutableMapping. You almost always want a Mapping.
disrespect to culture and icons is not the same thing for "burning a flag in front of someone" vs "drawing Hebdo cartoon last month".
You have a good point, and that's why the "right" will and has to say right now. Ultimately I think a disclosure of information of any kind against the subject's will will become a direct criminal charge in the future (in contrast to a set of specialized laws that we have now), and then the "right" will be obsoleted.
I've got some web sites that use javascript to submit a form to an API gateway endpoint which then uses SES to send me an email. I get absolutely zero spam from any of them. I think the vast majority of spammers use non-javascript tools and that recaptcha is unnecessary for most low-profile sites if they'd just use javascript to POST the data instead.
> you have a lot of design consequences / unintentional visual limitations

Would you mind elaborating on what you think those limitations are?

I feel like it’s easy to say ‘nah we don’t do responsive’ instead of figuring out a way do just do it. I can’t come up with a single example that I couldn’t translate from mobile to desktop in some way.
On Riot/Web, you’ll need to enable it in labs settings (in config.json) - riot.im/develop already has it turned on. On synapse there is a config flag called experimental_aggregation_support or something, but it’s optional (it makes reactions/edits more efficient).
That's not how software development works in e.g. companies where multiple people use the software (framework, libraries, API's) at different levels/roles.

For example, if we develop some framework to be used at multiple sites in the company, we can be 100% sure that at some point someone will assume that anything marked 'public' in the API is fair game to use (which IMO is a reasonable perspective). If they start using internal API's or depend on class internals that are only public just because the language did not provide us with a reasonable way to hide them, at some point we will change them and working systems could break elsewhere. In a similar fashion, misuse of private API's by violating preconditions that are completely opaque to users of your (intended) public API can lead to the worst kinds of bugs and unpredictable runtime failures.

Software development always seems so simple and pragmatic if you don't need to care about other people you have no control over.
That’s a really interesting idea.

If you plant a tree that lasts for 10,000 years (is there such?), I wonder if you can use its height or the shadow it casts (trunk thickness) to measure time.

Of course, someone would just come and kill it. Unless you can make it undesirable to get close to it.. for example fill it with thousands of snakes and spiders.

I researched this topic for a while, and I came to conclusion that Si-based life is nearly impossible for several reasons.

> Silicon dioxide melting point: 1710 °C

No complex chemistry can survive these temperatures.
SiO2 is only soluble in HCl and HF, which are very reactive, so no solubility either.

> Also I don't see why you couldn't have an organism that "breathes" solid material.

All of known biological chemistry relies on some sort of solubility for reagents. I don't think there's any known organism that can get rid of solid waste from the entire volume of the organism.
Don't forget Swarm as well.

Yes and no.

Annotations in comments or in type stubs are supported in python2 (you can look at typeshed for typing.Text and conditional py2/3 stuff). There's also some other cases, but they're...unique.
> If they ignore robots.txt, than what else gives them the right to copy and host content from other sites?

The same thing that gives them the right otherwise: fair use, and explicit archiving exceptions written into copyright law. robots.txt adds no additional legality.

So Swarm vs DAT vs IPFS.
> Uncustomized spambots are also so unintelligent that they do not correctly answer simple questions such as “What is 2+3?”, or “what color is this website?”.

I found that some uncustomized spambots are able to solve simple math challenges like this one.

And the color question is bad for accessibility.

Many of the suggested alternatives are also terrible for accessibility, because they require solving a visual puzzle, without an audio alternative.

At Kyso [1] we let you do this (I'm one of the founders) - you can run Jupyterlab online and start servers inside Jupyterlab that you can share with the world (Jupyterlab will run on instance-id.cloud.kyso.io).

You can install viola and then just run it on port 8000 from within the jupyterlab terminal and you can share the url with anyone (it will be instance-id-8000.cloud.kyso.io)

We're actually thinking of supporting Viola natively in the next few weeks, what kind of app do you want to run?

This is an important and useful improvement. Many domain parkers/squatters/etc who snap up dead domains have robots.txt files that block everything or almost everything, breaking the ability to see the previous site via archive.org.

Onion2k's experience mirrors mine.

There was a genteel, supportive quality of having a participation base comprised mostly of sincere, interested readers and posters. There were trolls even then, for sure, but they were few and were generally embarrassed into an inert mumbling.

I still remember fondly the debates in comp.lang.c about the first ANSI C standard proposals. Even Henry Spencer's rants against NOALIAS were entertaining.

And where user participation got unproductively unruly, moderated groups served well, like rec.humor.funny.

There was also an open, transparent process for forking groups, generally along natural fracture lines, and for creating new subgroups.

What ultimately ruined Usenet (IMHO) was a falling signal-to-noise ratio, and not just because of spam. The opening of the AOL gateway and the resulting Eternal September proved to be mortal wounds.
I’m sure you’re very familiar with the patterns used in the codebase(s) you spend your time in.

Animal Farm was a critique of Stalinism and the hijacked Bolshevik revolution more than anything, and it's a good one considering Orwell himself leaned socialist (which Stalinism certainly was not).
Additionally when people want to leave but an acquisition is in progress, they might want to wait and finish their role during due diligence and term setting, and leave on good terms afterwards, than a hasty leave that might

I miss how simple programs were in the 80s and 90s. I mean, they were a lot of work because there were no powerful libraries and you had to do almost everything from scratch. And then wait 30 minutes for the compiler each time you did a build. And it was way too easy to lose work before there were usable version-control systems (and even with the early ones, like CVS, it was easy to shoot yourself in the foot).

Stuff that was a major challenge back then, like rendering a polygon or keeping the state of an HTML form, is trivial to do today. I wish I would be paid to write early 90s programs with today's tools :)
Personally I found it quite useful, although I was already familiar with several topics, it was interesting to read the author's perspective. Answers to exercises would be great, but even without them I found the content satisfying and useful enough.

In Ukraine vernacular architecture represented by "khata" (ukr. "хата", eng. "house").[0]

Fully Coded App Template Built over Galio.io
On the question about how a search engine would work. The Dat team have thought (and implemented) quite a bit about building performant indexes for distributed file systems. I've wondered if we relaxed the time requirements for search whether there are other processes that we could use that would e more robust. "Who has 10.19.20.13?" seems like it might be a little bit too low level, but what if it was "Who has the most reliable data about the publishing industry between 1500 and 1600?" expiration in 30 minutes with an extension of up to 90 minutes for each preliminary result with more than two nodes responding.

Could it work? What kinds of use cases could it support? How would a bot that had a good model of which forums to post things to do in comparison if it had 2 hours, 24 hours, 1 week? What about if we put _lower_ bounds on the amount of time that had to be spent looking (this seems like a fun challenge for proof of 'real' work).

While this is at a much higher level than the current dat protocol, it is in a sense quite similar to the query "Who has 353904391670d2803b34990e37f4d2e96f49351998e162d0e335b16812daf592e0f71470af7bee31f6a1da03744d03bcde659d73a0ebf56fd4a9fc6ef67edf60 that is 5 bytes long?"

Who say this to you? It was God, animals themselves or some voice of Universe? There is no one here, only us. We can do what we think is right. If we see suffering that has no any purpose, we can stop it. What is "purpose" is just our choice too.

For what? Now we are life on the planet. Nature has evolved and we are the result and next step.

>The ecosystem depends on animals at all levels ..

Now we have a new ecology: mankind and Earth.

A forum I post on has zero restrictions on sign up. No recaptchas, nothing. Couple of times a month we see some (usually Cyrillic) bot post some thread with a link that (probably) no one clicks and we all have a laugh and tell it to post more (it never does).

It's a small site, footfall in the 10s, so maybe that's the reason.

You are posing an interesting assumption. Your premise is girls and boys are "biologically" different in this robotics context. Your words: "the boys wanted 'to win'", "She enjoyed creating and personalizing the robots".

If we accept your premise to be true, then we must cater to the girls so robotics can be more inclusive. Again your words: "creating and personalizing the robots in unique ways". Maybe DJI can provide robotics which is less violent, catered for girls. I don't know, maybe something like Baymax, or Wall-E.

The other side of coin is we reject your premise. Boys and girls have no differences. Boys want to win. Girls want to win also. If this alternative premise is true, then either we must push the girls to be more aggressive (want to win) or discourage the boys who are aggressive (want to win).

I am interested in other people's opinion about this. No, I don't have answer for this question.
