thank you all collectively for your thoughtful participation in this thread, your comments and endorsements. Your feedback, encouragement and insights are making this work especially worthwhile!
This seems disingenuous. Genetically modified organisms created in a lab have no bearing on the proliferation of biodiversity outside the lab.
I agree, hardware is a primary concern.

I am not meaning to paint those who work on AOSP or third-party ROMs in a bad light. The work they do is terrific and great for the community. I also do not mean to dismiss any of the fantastic work that Graphene brings to the Android community.

I am simply stating that the biggest difference between Librem and Android is that there are more hurdles to jump through to provide a completely usable and free AOSP phone to an end-user in 2019. Android has been made to host a Google ecosystem, where the Librem 5 is being created to host an open ecosystem.

It sounds like the Purism team identified this issue ahead of time and decided to provide that open hardeware platform for us.
The problem is that skepticism, to lay people, has been equated to "it's not true! Ergo, we don't need to do anything".

Meaning that it -should- be career suicide. Because the evidence in favor is so large, that it's incredibly unethical to give climate change deniers more credibility
Curious about 2 things:

1) Can it solve especially hard Sudoku puzzles? (ie, expert level where humans often get stuck)

2) Is there a resource somewhere that lists the types of Prolog problems that it excels at solving?
How do we know they exist if we haven't seen them? Is this based on an estimate of the rate of extinction of known species and the rate of discovery of new species?
Oh how cool is that, I never even heard that term before. Thanks! It does look quite complex though, I have to learn about proxying and nginx.
It's a bit like the discussions you read around cloud provider costs vs. doing things in-house (or whatever). There are a lot of overheads associated with a big company doing peripheral tasks in-house.

For example, to your point, that 50 person satellite office probably needs a full-time office manager and then all the costs that percolate upstream associated with having a full-time office manager and another lease to manage/office to service.

It may be worth it to have your own location with your own branding etc. Or you may just want a location where a bunch of employees can work, have meetings with customers/partners, etc. with minimal hassle.
Yeah it was when I noticed that TripAdvisor listings for a given restaurant were featuring higher than the restaurant's ACTUAL webpage, that I thought I might be too late.

However, individual restaurant listings aren't my priority for traffic, it's the area listings. However, I now feel aiming for terms like "blackrock restaurants" was alsways going to be tough, due to it being quite generic
But the context the GP used was to make it "evil" that the ALS non-profit released a post on the Ice Bucket Challenge benefiting ALS, which was sort of bone headed. Well why wouldn't they post that the money was used to help their cause? That's a good thing!
Yeah I had this idea too. I stayed with some people in a fancy apartment in Zurich for a week a while back. They all left to work and I worked from their home. It was the best office I'd ever had, and was empty during work hours all week. I reckon 60% or more of city apartments are similar - seems very inefficient.
Thanks! I saw 'polyrepo' too, but multirepo sounds more intuitive.
>In any case, what possible reason would the average Chinese person have to systematically oppress the Uighurs or falun gong?

This question is crucial to indicate that you have no idea about ordinary Chinese people. You need to sit down with some Chinese to talk about it if you are really interested. So I encourage you to find some first gen immigrant from mainland China currently living in SFBA. It wont be hard to find them. I can even direct you to relevant social media sites if you like.
How does microg help with that?
Yeah, come work at home with me! Then my children can bother you too. :)

Not possible without investing literally dozens of billions of dollars into laying fiber - and no matter where you look, actual physical infrastructure like roads, bridges and public transport is outright decaying so where should that money come from, and where in the world do enough actual digging crews exist to lay all that fiber.

DSL simply is physically unable to do symmetric high speed and for coax/cable-tv internet there always remains the problem of oversubscription.

This is the core fuck up of our time.
Avoiding Crippling Technical Debt with Node.js, TypeScript and DDD
I love the simplicity or prolog; I often think it/datalog would be great as a query language for applications.

e.g. instead of Jira having its JQL or whatever, it would just have a prelude, then you'd write things like:

my_team_working_on_it(ticket) :-
assigned(ticket, user),
on_team(user, team),
on_team(current_user, team).

Or to search for tickets assigned to you (like defining a board filter):

assigned(_, current_user)

New York could become the first state to decriminalize prostitution
I did that for on an old forum that has been dead for year, I thought spammers would not care enough.

But one of them did! Whenever I changed the questions, bots would stop for a few days, and then start again. Someone cared enough to manually enter the correct responses (no, blind dictionary attacks were not possible)!
This would only be worth it if you pay it off each month, as it has an insanely high interest rate of 28.24%- you can get a secured Discover card at 25.24% or 21.24% with Wells Fargo. You can do even better if you do with a credit union- DCU has secured cards around 13.75%.
Yes, "blame" is not a good word.

Use "git annotate" instead.
The Occams razor is that Facebook and Google threaten The New York Times business model where bad banking and faulty jets do not. Big media is way too involved in these stories to report them objectively.
Relevant tweet that links to this same article and has a self-referential political cartoon: https://twitter.com/PatChappatte/status/1138145415604449280

The linked article is currently down for me, as is the Google cache; does anyone have a mirror? I presume the article explains the Netanyahu cartoon that the tweet references.

My hot take without (being able to be) reading the article: No more political humor because of an internet mob seems like quite the shame.
> Prove that an advertiser has seen one instance of my exact location, or an instance of my search or web history.

With all the subsidiaries and partner companies - and even just shell companies - out there, why should we be doing such gymnastics in order to support the advertising industry. If a company bought access to some data what's to say they couldn't eventually re-sell it to another company with another slice of that pie... or have that data inherited on acquisition.

That seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to just to sustain an industry that really isn't providing a lot of value.
Wasn't Nevada the first state to do this, or was it always legal in Nevada?
Dropout is not deletion. The neurons turned off will be lit in the next run, and all would make into the model (brain).
Interesting, I did not know Spaces was under IWG! They are here in DC as well. Materially the office space is the same offering as WeWork, but there is a noticeably different vibe/sheen that is hard to pin down. Neither appeals to me as I find it hard to focus / get work done in coworking places like this, but WeWork just feels better executed / 'cooler' at first blush.

The big problem is the price which too high.
AFAIK, if:

1. You have had an account with the Canadian RBC Royal Bank
2. You move to a state in the US where the US RBC Bank operates in

or

1. You have had an account with the Canadian TD Bank
2. You move to a state in the US where the US TD bank operates in

then, you can ask the US banks to look at your corresponding Canadian bank's credit history in making a decision in approving you for one of the US bank's credit cards (YMMV - your mileage may vary).

There's also LineageOS for MicroG [1] which bakes in MicroG for you. Then there's the unfortunately named /e/ [2] which is based on the former and trying to build a usable privacy-focused mobile OS on top of that.

So, you propose to give up on Visual Studio because in 20 or so years maybe Windows and XBox won’t exist? Or?...

In the absence of said democratically controlled police force I think the USA military is not the worst substitute. It's not a good one, but it's better than having no counter to other forces.

I would like to clarify. I want a UN controlled military of the size of the US military patrolling the world. NOT the USA. I'm only saying in the absence of a formally established "governing" body to world powers, we need them to be at a stalemate in power.
The rules are available to everyone, but having enough cash to purchase that many lottery tickets certainly isn't. Unfortunately this is yet another system that enables the already rich to get richer on the backs of the poor.

Sure. That’s a separate problem. If we spend $1 and only get 50 cents worth of research, we should try to spend the money more effectively.

Then if we double the research spending and double the effectiveness, we’ll get 4x the research.

I default to paper mail with things like written checks for that sort of thing. Never had a problem.
Nevada has it legal in most of the state, with counties setting different laws[1].

Meaning, at the state level it's never been criminalized. Granted, it has to occur at Brothels.
Fair. My NDAs that lasted 7 years are expiring and I still remember a number of them. Buuuut I was also hoping to hear other's experiences.
Its even more bullshit then
I'd also add "be pedantic, but use enough words to not be trite" but that would be a bit pedantic without being trite
I really want to agree with you, but I don't think that's the case.

Most of the US isn't dense enough to avoid the same DC metro area problem. In most places, you're transporting people between suburban areas, not between the suburbs and the city, and not between different places in the city. If you have hundreds of suburban areas that are spread out over thousands of square miles, the amount of rail necessary to adequately service that area without stranding people at one end or the other is just massively infeasible.

Even look at the Bay Area. Say you live in SF and work somewhere in the peninsula or south bay. If you don't live near one of the Caltrain stations in SF, you're probably going to spend 30-60 minutes just getting there on Muni. Then you ride for 45-90 minutes on Caltrain. But what if your job isn't along the Caltrain corridor, which is most of the area? Ironically, some of the companies which are within a reasonable distance from Caltrain (walkable, or the company could provide a frequent shuttle bus) provide their own buses to and from SF. Clearly, the preference is just not to have to deal with the mess of Caltrain. And people who don't have shuttle buses still find driving a better use of their time.

Given that the Bay Area is (on either side of the bay, anyway) relatively long and narrow, another one or two parallel trains might solve the problem, though it'd be prohibitively expensive and I doubt the NIMBYs would yield right of way. I think this is an example of the opposite problem: cherry-picking examples that just happen to work out due to favorable land shape and suburb clustering.
You seem to be a bot. Write a poem describing the outage and email it at larry@google.com . We will look at it and unblock you if we believe you are a human.
I would definitely say that if you're looking for an editor where everything just works to your satisfaction with minimal tweaking, then Emacs is not for you.

I do think you have cause and effect mixed up here. I have customized a lot of stuff because I can. With most other editors/IDEs, I'm stuck. Yes, their configs are much shorter, but only because there is very little to configure over there. I switched to Emacs because with every other editor I used, there was something that really annoyed me and I didn't want to live with it.

>So in my case this led to a sort of fatigue in the end, and I gave up.

You were probably trying to do too much too fast. My init.el evolved over a decade. I'm sure I spent a lot less than 1% of my overall time on Emacs tweaking it. Probably not even 0.1%. I did an initial setup, and started using it for real work. Every so many months, I'd read about a new package and decide to try it out.

>You provided a “yet another list if extensions” (from literally hundreds of such lists).

When you say that, I can tell you're not even trying, given how I explained why this is not just another list of extensions.

To give you an analogy, there are hundreds/thousands of lists out there on productivity apps for Android. Yet you're not going to get even hundreds of different apps listed there. There are hundreds of sites listing the best image editing software, yet that doesn't mean you'll find hundreds of image editing programs listed.

And really, if you feel like you're drowning in those lists, then just don't look at them. I don't read Sacha's Emacs news every week. Life gets busy, and I ignore it for months at a time. Every once in a while, when work is slow, I go to it to see if I can learn something new.

Emacs is a platform. Don't view it as "configuring". View it as installing useful apps. When I first installed Linux, it was "Holy cow! The package manager has so much software!" Saying there are too many packages out there for Emacs is like saying there are too many packages out there for Linux.
Not funny.

I'm rather thinking about how one would go about making a procedurally generated Twitter.
Their valuation is based on spirituality? Are they a business, or a church?

I mean, they can actually be more valuable than other such companies if they get the ambience right. Maybe that's what he meant. But if they're referring to the ambience as "spirituality", I cannot take them seriously. [Edit: And if by "spirituality" they mean something besides ambience, I still cannot take them seriously.]

If I had more faith in the market's rationality, I would short them as soon as they IPO...
India’s top video streaming service breaks Safari compatibility
Librem 5 is not open hardware. I also don't understand why you're comparing hardware to an operating system that's perfectly capable of running on top of it with the strengths and weaknesses of the hardware underneath it. You make it sound like AOSP or GrapheneOS wouldn't run on it. I don't think it would make a very good hardware target due to having so many security regressions from the status quo but it could certainly be one of the official targets. Whether or not it's an official hardware target, people will be able to use GrapheneOS on it.
Yep. UX is by far the most underrated aspect of product development by engineers.
There is bad debt and good debt.

Getting a credit card and spending up to the limit while only making the minimum payments is bad debt. Buying a luxury car that's more expensive than you can really afford because the car dealer talked you into it is bad debt.

On the other hand, if you need a car to get to work, getting a car loan for a practical car is probably good debt. If you're married and about to have your second child and need a house, a mortgage is probably good debt because you're building equity, the house might appreciate, and anyway the alternative is throwing away a similar amount on rent.

Point being, it is probably not best to always seek to minimize debt. There are trade-offs to consider. Often, avoiding debt is better, but sometimes the negatives of debt are more than outweighed by some opportunity it unlocks.

So is it bad for society? It depends on how much bad debt it encourages and how much good debt it encourages.
That's certainly not true for the NYT. The NYT's stock has done very well in recent years and it's solely because their digital subscription business has taken off. It's one of the few publications that doesn't really depend on Facebook and Google for revenue.
The question is: is it worth it? Trying to figure out all those functions, setting all tose modes, and then programming them the way you described.

Especially when all you just described can be done with regular copy-paste between dedicated programs if needed.

This suggestion is made every time there's a thread about WeWork and it's just not viable. There are startups in this space already and the reality is always borne out: it's simply not worthwhile to rent out space in your home to an individual. You can get a monthly membership to WeWork for <$400 in most locations, and there's lots of no-brand co-working spaces that charge less than half of that. If you can pay $200/month to have 24/7 access to a space with amenities and flexibility... why would you pay someone $10 to sit in their apartment for 7 hours until they come home and you awkwardly shuffle out so they can make their dinner? And who is going to rent their apartment out for $10/day with all the liability that comes along with it? All the pain of Airbnb, <10% of the earnings.

Every one of the startups in this space either disappears, or pivots their focus to larger spaces designed for meetings, events or shoots. For example there's https://breather.com in the US and https://www.vrumi.com in the UK. The cheapest space on vrumi is far more expensive than WeWork.

That argument requires one to assume that Canada might withhold shipments of steel to the United States at some critical moment. Otherwise, it doesn't matter whether steel comes from the US or Canada. As long as Canada doesn't shut down shipments, the United States' access to steel is secure, even if 100% of it comes from Canada.

The argument that Canada might cut off US access to steel is not plausible. The fact that the Trump administration is using the phrase "national security" to try to wring economic and political concessions out of Canada is transparent.
Was there an announcement by the New York Times to do this? I am not calling him into question; I just wonder with what silence and shame they have made this decision.

In exchange US consumers have access to a larger variety of loans. E.g., mortgages that require little to no down payment, car loans at 0% APR.
Sure it's required and they should have to comply, but this is a secured LoC, so there's no interest to gather in the first place. Unless I'm grossly misunderstanding this? That's a stupid high APR, but you should effectively have a bill of $0.
Exactly. We see the same pattern with Chrome and the new course it's taking.

The reverse is also true: whatever sufficiently good product that doesn't generate money is basically doomed by them no matter how many users depend on it. (Reader, Inbox, Talk, ...)

Cashback is free money to you. It's also a proxy to your bank account, easier to cancel and get a new one than my debit card at least, easier to dispute transactions, better app than my bank (quality of life I guess), can lock the card if you lost it on a night out, and unlock it if you find it in your jeans later that day.
