Good luck finding those emails. If it’s for a few years in the past it’s probably auto-deleted due to corporate retention policies designed to defend against discovery. When I came back to google I had all my old calendar but none of my emails because retention is 2yrs.
Which is why I said they'd have to work with the feds on how.
The point I make is that heroin addicts require everything that everyone else requires, plus medical support staff that provide them with cheap and safe sources to feed their addiction.

Pharmacies serve quite well and rather cost efficient for this purpose. It's not really that far away of their core business of dispensing prescrition drugs. The substance is different, but the logistics are exactly the same.

You may think that pharmacy robberies are a concern, but it's not really an issue. I accept that this may not universally be the case.
The Pharoah's curse.
And I wonder how long that'll last... I chose Dropbox because of the Linux support, as I actually use all 3 of the major platforms (Windows/Mac/Linux) regularly.

If I have to leave Dropbox, I honestly don't know what I'd replace it with. It works well enough on all 3 of the platforms I use it on, that I really don't want to switch to some janky duct-taped alternative.

Meanwhile, it seems like every other hot startup product has this somewhere in their FAQ:

Q: Will you support Linux?

A: Here at Foocorp, we all love Linux! Seriously, we're huge fans! However, we've decided that we can best serve our customers by focusing on our Windows (and maybe Mac) products and giving the middle finger to you annoying Linux users.

Is this a joke that I don't get ?

Apple had a net income north of 35B$ for 6 years, it sure looks like they found a way to run their business to me

You're right. I tried to delete my message but the option wasn't there.
Be aware that the famous "tank man" was not actually run over. You can see the rest of the video if you look online.

The CIA files have also been leaked which provides more information about that happened that day. As always the truth seems to be somewhere in the middle. Not as bad as the western media says it was but worse than the Chinese government admits.

I always find it weird that no one seems to care about the Nanjing massacre which was much bigger or that Tulsa massacre which most Americans seem to be unaware of...
Backup and Sync for MacOS at least is a disaster. It locked me out of my account because when backing up photos, if it can’t figure out how to convert files to normal quality JPEGs, it uploads them anyway and your quota is charged. Then a month later when you start wondering why nobody sends you email any more you might figure it out.
Is there such a thing as inheritance of epigenetics? I have done a lot of weight-lifting off and on and often wondered if I conceived a child while maintaining a perfect diet, tons of exercise and sleep, they would come out much differently than if they were conceived while i was eating garbage and laying around.
I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but I think with the self driving car example having diverse competing approaches helps avoid stagnating on a local optimum.
You can clone the project (https://github.com/lannister-capital/lannister-ios) and run the app on your device. We're working on a web version now, which is still WIP, but is also open-source (https://github.com/lannister-capital/lannister-app).
Here are some examples that make me give the idea a little credence -

To this day, despite over 1000 years of Christianity, Russian people continue to uphold some superstitions (and, in the case of 'Maslenitsa'[1], holidays) that trace their origin to pagan pre-Kievan Rus'. Strange phenomenons that never found an adoption by the Orthodox church, e.g. that each house possesses its own spirit ('Domovoy'[2]), and that you best remember him and ask for good luck and protection when you leave for a long trip by looking in the mirror and sitting still, in silence, for a few minutes right before you depart. Fail to do so and you have no one to blame but yourself when you return to find it burglarized..! (Or so my immediate family sternly lectured me)

Actually, here we have a fairly ancient holiday, too - Valentine's day's origin can trace itself to when the Romans decided to rebrand the fertility festival Lupercalia, keeping the message (a day devoted to romance) the same, but putting a stop to revelers beating each other with skinned dogs and copulating in the streets.[3]

My point is that while we may forget why we do certain rituals or superstitions, our cultural memes are often imprinted onto us for hundreds of years or more (think weddings!), provided that our culture has descendants to carry the tales. So this makes Bastide and Fabbri's idea not so outlandish. However, it's very difficult to control what cultural memes stick and which ones die - sometimes, it's pure randomness. I guess these folks were betting on the slim chance of the song being so ludicrous and catchy, that it will just have to be told over and over for generations...

I feel that is vice versa, the goal has always been IPFS. However I thought it would be quickly apparent that with no incentive structure to do the actual hosting to a significant scale, it is a dead in the water project. The idea is great however it comes with multiple pain-points that exist at the same time, and honestly jumping in the ICO craze at the point that they did was a smart business decision because imo something like Filecoin is absolutely necessary.

I mean for success you need to achieve ample storage capacity, strong financial incentives that strengthen the network, and scaling. Major issues here being that following the ICO they need to release something that matches what investors wanted to some degree (more focus on Filecoin) and that a lot of scaling/tooling needs to come from outside Protocol Labs. They are heavily relying on Ethereum to successfully scale in a way that is friendly to the Filecoin protocol and that is an issue that has been dragging out for at least the last two years on how to do it properly.
Good advice. The speed of decision making can slow down momentum in a startup and reaching consensus quickly and efficiently is important.
What really matters (for people that do the CAPEX and OPEX math on their assets; not gamers) is the performance/power ratio. Without this I don't see AMD eating much of Intel's lunch (35B vs 208B market cap).

> When I buy a ticket, my ticket is tied to a certain seat on the train. If I went to Mars, my ticket would be worthless.

What if I don't want a train ticket? What if I want to sell my widget-coin for some brussel-sprouts-coin. Now I can't go to any farmer because he's only got carrot-coin or broccoli-coin, I have to find the brussel sprouts farmer-and not only that, but the brussel sprouts farmer who wants to buy widgets.

And if you say "nonsense, you can exchange any coin for any other coin", how is that different from what we have now?
> Acquired under a new system of concurrent development and production, an Air Force attempt to limit procurement costs and delays, the C-133 program had no prototype phase; the aircraft had gone from drawing board to production line.

I see this done for software, and some forms of hardware. But for a plane, back then, wow. Seems totally crazy. Or maybe they didn't have prototypes but lots and lots of scale models and wind tunnel testing.
Unauthorized access in connection with fraud, for example. I'll let the lawyers figure it out, and I hope they do.
OpenStreetMaps is getting there. Heavily depends on the quality of maps in your area. For Youtube, you could use something like invidio.us or newpipe, which shows you only the channels that you have subscribed to.
The hubbub about the article there is FUD, particularly when it comes to FastMail. Since FastMail isn't an end-to-end encrypted service (Gmail isn't either), laws about thwarting encryption are entirely irrelevant: Both must respond to a legal government order for your information. Google responds to many tens of thousands of these requests yearly: https://transparencyreport.google.com/user-data/overview?t=t...

If you are not Australian, the likelihood of getting your data subpoena'd from an Australian company is pretty low. If you're in the US, it's far more likely for your Gmail data to be successfully subpoena'd.

Unless you belong to a fairly narrow set of people, the risk of government access to your data is relatively low. Meanwhile, the threat of advertiser access to your data is high for everyone: Don't trust an ad company with your data, even if they currently say they won't use it for ads.
You maintain a seed bank by constantly buying new seeds, and when you can't buy them, oh I guess they're extinct, time to reintroduce them.
I remember seeing work on using magnet links for decentralised sites about a decade ago. I think the "kio-magnet" project in KDE was along these lines, but ironically the blog posts detailing it seem to 404 now ;)
I'd be interested in something like Syncthing, but it would have to have an iOS client that worked correctly as a file provider. Both Dropbox and Google Drive have half-implemented Files support (Dropbox doesn't work offline via Files even when Files are saved offline in the app, Google Drive doesn't allow you to create new files via the Files APIs, and both are pretty buggy all around).
I like KBFS a lot, but you have to be careful about trying to use it as a Dropbox-alike. KBFS is always-online. If you have no network connectivity, you have no files.

It's also not particularly fast.
Trouble is, if you control the IP you can obtain a valid certificate from many CAs. BGP hijacking gives you control over an IP.

I agree. But that model makes sense, given that they (at least based on their press) don't receive (any? as much?) money from selling user data.

I'm kind of surprised that such an option exists at all in the marketplace, given the amount of cash Google and FB suck in. At least consumers have some choice.
We then need to keep them broken up.
Because there is no choice of ISP. I could have an internet connection and never visit the web at all, spending all my time on IRC and use a desktop email client.

But I need to use an ISP to get online at all. They are the gatekeepers and they should be uninteresting.
I think the bigger news here is that it almost _doubles_ the score of the similar AMD Threadripper 2950X (also 16c/32t).

34650 to 61072 in a generation is no joke, while being both a far smaller, much lower power part.
I think you should explore some of the alternatives every once in a while, or just maintain a free plan and like 1 folder. Just checked activity monitor and onedrive only uses ~60mb of more ram on idle at least, although (and I believe it's since been pached) it had a memory leak bug at one point and would start eagerly consuming my 16gb of ram if left unchecked. The fix for that was just restarting one drive after startup, no big deal. Even on big syncs (I did ~250gb one time) it syncs about as fast as my upload speeds go and didn't seem to bog down my computer at all.

And so is Canada. High time someone does something about it. Back channel diplomacy appears dead.
This was also a pain in the ass when going for promotion because I wanted to show evidence of how I resolved conflicts and managed a partnership that crossed time zones. The most contentious decisions happened in the beginning of the project 2.5yrs earlier and were wiped. Now I understand why Googlers prefer to use Docs and let the comments go there. It’s a much worse experience for having a serialized discussion but it preserves evidence for promo.
As I mentioned further up, pass tomb needs to be installed separately (which is not trivial depending on your distro) and is clunky to use. AFAIK it also cannot be used to encrypt the password database on Android.

It also really bugs me that an important security feature like this one is not the default.
There is one circle about Embodied Mind and the "4E Paradigm" contains this approach as well.
As a born and bread corporate (mostly banks) corporate IT guy, I used to frown upon this behavior. Then I got one of my bigger career breaks because the finance team went behind IT, bought a software and installed it in a machine which kept under their desk. They further hired people from an IT service company to configure the machine.

The configuration was so bad that it exposed the company's network to whole wide world. Google contacted the company and after searching high and low IT security managed to track the pc down and take it away. Finance team promised to hire someone with skillset required to run the software in a closed environment. And that's how I ended up getting my job.
The article mentions that the high degree of ultraviolet light emitted by Proxima Centauri and Trappist-1 stars would create large amounts of carbon monoxide which would bind to hemoglobin suffocating an oxygen breathing lifeform.

This is an assumption. I might have to read the book you linked, it looks very interesting, but I think lifeforms that have evolved to not use hemoglobin in their circulatory systems isn't that far of a stretch.

Can someone give a proper counter-argument to this?

I keep telling my friends hyped by bitcoin that I do not believe in its future as a currency for real daily exchanges because of this energy consumption problem.

Is there any serious track to address this issue?

Unlike most technologies, I do not see the traditional efficiency gains when the technology gets more mature. It seems inherent to proof-of-work and cannot be improved in this paradigm

Assuming a solution is found, is it possible to "update" Bitcoin?
> Now it wants to be able to extradite anyone to China to be tried in Chinese courts.

That's not true.

Trump saying that there were "good people on both sides" does not mean that he supports white nationalists, since not every group on the "unite the right" side was made of white nationalists.

You can certainly argue that he does, but please come up with things that aren't quite so easily argued around. (and I've yet to hear an argument for how he's a Nazi when his favorite daughter is literally an Orthodox Jew) The more we allow easily refuted arguments to propagate unopposed, the easier it is to assume that there are no legitimate arguments for a position.
The cores have independent clock trees and PLLs. Half the point of going multi core instead of giant single core in the first place is so that you don't have to route clock lines all over the place.

What you're seeing isn't routing issues, but the fact that their newer process isn't up to snuff, and they don't have the proper yields on larger die sizes.

Like, I've shipped RTL and know pretty well how this stuff works.
It’s a cautionary tale about Python. If you start there you will never get off of it. You can hire Guido but you still won’t be able to go from 2 to 3.

But you're probably a developer?

TechStop is/was great. But Windows users had locked down workstations where IT whitelisted binaries. I assume the approval process sucked about as much as normal.

Many Google employees use desktop Linux which is basically unheard of outside the tech world. That by itself simplifies things quite a bit. Not many people writing viruses posing as screensavers for Google's in house Linux strain. Anyone who cracks that is probably an APT attacker and those require different approaches.
Text-Based Editing of Talking-Head Video
Same here, the only UI I see is the green icon next to the file that gives me assurance that it works, and the occasional syncing animation.

However with the price increase and not being even close to hitting even the old 1T limit I think I will be looking for something else, which sucks because I really like the product and have been using it for almost a decade at this point, or more.
Nice, exactly what I needed today, after firefighting a latency spike because of a compute node after a separate ingress node was restarted.

I would make the taxionomy a bit more precise: failures at running software on the platform and failures at running the platform itself (which of course affect the software running over it: high latency, network packets dropped, DNS not reolved, ...)

In general I find that when the platform works as expected, it is not that easy to make software run on it fail. That is, it is harder than without what Kubernetes provides (granted: you can have it without Kubernetes, but many of us didn't bother to have capable admins setting things up the right way).

What I find extremely fragile is the platform itself. It works, but you have to start and stop things in the right order, navigate a sea of self-signed TLS certificates that can expire, iptable rules and services and logs.

All have failure modes you need to learn: it takes a dedicated team. And once you have that, you'll need another team and cluster to perform an upgrade.

But hey, when it works, it is really cool to deploy software on it.
Another risk to Apple would be that the regulatory machine of government more or less brings the Google/FB data vacuum under control in the next 5 years and consumers stop paying super high prices for Apple hardware and ecosystem membership. Because they trust Google/FB again.

Ok, on second thought, that's an infinitesimally small risk.
Add the taxes, add the commercial insurances (how many Uber has one?), add the much higher maintenance for a car that runs all day every day,...

Just because those drivers don't factor in things in legal or financial hindsight doesn't mean they won't need it, or that it won't go seriously wrong when that need gets called on.
Yes, like most countries it varies by region mostly because of the history of the area. I’m from the Deep South and grew up in a ‘shotgun’ styled house built in the early 30s. You see this style most famously in cities like New Orleans. Many of the original homes of this style are sometimes remodeled to a certain degree with new siding and a metal roof although some still retain their original asphalt shingle siding, which I love. My town, which is very small (pop. >300) and economically depressed, is full of them and on the rare occasion that a modern home is built here it stands out like a sore thumb. The ‘nicer’ houses built around the same time period, if they’ve survived, have basements or very high crawl spaces as this is a flood plain of the Mississippi River, and the 1927 Flood devastated the area. This style is less common but there are a few examples here and many more in other towns nearby.
Given the paywall, I didn't get the pleasure of reading the full article. Based on the title and opening paragraphs however, I don't think this is really news. Especially in light of the recent statement by Facebook counsel Orin Snyder: "There is no invasion of privacy at all, because there is no privacy" [1]

In fact, there has been legal statements on the privacy of Facebook floating around for awhile. One judge, in 2013, explicitly said there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.[2]

Zuckerburg has also previously made statements regarding his disdain for privacy, such as: "'They "trust me." Dumb f--ks'" [3]

In the wake of the mobile phone number sharing with your friends list by default, Mark had this to say: "We realize that people will probably criticize us for this for a long time, but we just believe that this is the right thing to do." [4]

I could go on ad nauseum, and I'm sure none of these quotes are new to anyone. So, I just don't get why it is news that Zuckerberg was aware of questionable practices.

Of course he was aware of them. He championed them.

Good question.

Do you assume that if Namecoin were to become super popular, the price of its coin would become very high? I don't see why. Can you explain this assumption?

Namecoins are not Bitcoins, they're not supposed to be used as a currency, so the logic that the popularity of Namecoin would create a huge raise in its price is not straightforward.
Thank you!!!

There just was a publication in "nature human behavior" about "what happened to cognitive science?". Recommend the read and joining the conversation.
This question seems rhetorical and insincere. If you disagree, then it might be a better approach to say so than to feign curiosity.

> If you’ve ever used similarly-specced Dell and Apple machines, you should know where the difference is: noise, build quality, long-term support, predictability in OS interaction.

I have used both Dell and HP workstations and corresponding Apple products to a lesser extent and, to be honest, I really don't find that much difference between them in terms of noise, build quality, or long-term support. As for quality of OS interaction, I've seen the gray screen of death far more often than I've seen BSODs or kernel panics the past couple of years; so much for that.

> Dollar for dollar, this MacPro is not particularly egregious.

Oh, I agree; I know all too well that fully kitted out workstations are quite expensive and would concur that the Mac Pro is not too far out of line in this. But then again, nothing in my earlier post concerned price so I don't know why you bring it up.
And we're all happy our government is finally finding ways to regulate the internet, right? Come on, people, you need remember how to be free, they won't teach you that in College anymore. The internet was born wild and grew up wild, and its great and becoming better. Is your ISP pissing you off? Deal with it. Letting the government take over the internet 'for protection' is like making a pact with the Devil. It will NOT end well for you.
The FBI is required to collect data about hate crimes, but local police departments are not required to report the data. So the FBI data only represents voluntary reporting.
