Yeah, perhaps a better solution would be for the comments to be stored in something like ipfs? Though if i understand ipfs right, it works like torrents, meaning that unpopular comments will disappear over time.
What lies beyond perception? On High Weirdness
People still fear the "robots will take all of our jobs!" dialogue. Many societies still have work as a core component of personal value, so the idea of people having to work less doesn't translate to "Great, I can let these robots do the work and I can enjoy myself" but to "I can't find work and so I'm a worthless disgrace."
It's much more likely that mankind wipes ravens than itself.
Yeah, and this new change doesn't alter how explicit the code is. The new "try" just means "return error from here without setting the LHS if the RHS returns an error". It is the standard boilerplate captured.

When this is in common use, it will greatly improve the visibility of non boilerplate error handling.
Isn't this just observation/ignorance bias? We have a generation raised on Minecraft, and on secondary and tertiary content around Minecraft. Even with Fortnite, children don't just want to play the game, they want to stream and make videos around Fortnite. Or take social media where creative decisions about expression (filters, gifs, memes) are made all the time. "Creative work" is far more accessible now than ever before and children are participating in it.
All headless:

One for Kodi+VPN. With yatse on Android I have my own Netflix and Spotify for my own owned content on demand whenever.

Another for a baby monitor that feeds TinyCamPro with audio and video

A third that is a slave Kodi to play music in different part of the house as well, but mainly to operate the electric gate from my phone.

About to buy a rp4 to build a synth with a keyboard I just got.
Yeah, this has been tried over and over. Unless it becomes a standard browser feature (and decentralized, e.g. dht-backed), it's always been a nonstarter for technical reasons alone.

Also, if you start from an anti-censorship anti-moderation position, in this day and age, you are likely to attract the worst of society right off the bat.
How about cassette tapes?
Lotus 1-2-3 had for loops from the beginning, version one even, far before notes, domino, lotusscript, Windows or OLE/DDE existed. Here is a manual for version two, page 126 describes the {for} loop.

This wasn’t some hidden feature, lotus macro language was essential to its success from the beginning and was widely used for automating batch processing.

I should have written "period".
If only the FAA wasn't corrupt and did their job of testing, verifying and CERTIFYING the 787 and 737max in the first place rather than outsourcing it to the VERY MANUFACTURER Boeing.

I don't know where y'all went to school, but I was never able to self-grade my year-end exams.

Absolutely unthinkable banana republic behaviour and not a single head rolled (except for the about 350 poor dead souls who had to pay for this corruption with their life).
That's exactly what they've been doing! Or, perhaps more correctly, they've let their "algorithms" run amok without doing any quality control on the final results, thereby turning modest warming into "scary" warming. Whether this was intentional or not is debatable (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor), but it certainly looked that way to me at the time.

About ten years ago, after some remarkably incorrect statements about local heat levels made by the folks at NOAA or wherever, and then repeated (but very quickly retracted) by our own local weather folk, I went to the trouble of doing a bit of a deep dive on the HadCrut3 data sets. And what I found there was appalling. Other folks did more comprehensive deep dives and found far more problems with it than I had.

I could only do what I did at the time because some authority (I forget who) had finally forced the entire data set to be released to the public, over the strenuous objections of the folks who administer that data. Much of that data has since been hidden again, though, from what I can tell.

That was the older HadCRUT3 data set. The newest one is HadCRUT4, but I haven't done any kind of deep dive on that. (Without digging further into the matter I don't even know if there is enough data publicly available to do the kind of analysis on it that I did on the earlier set.) But other people have, and have noted serious problems with it, and have even written entire books about that. The short version, though, is that there is an awful lot of "data" out there which they're using that is mostly just made up, and what is genuine has been adjusted so much that it can no longer really be considered "data" at all.
What's the benefit of fooling advertisers? So then I will get ads that I'm even less interested in?
>I'd rather judge for myself a comment's worth than have it faded out for me.

It's not for you, it's a feedback for the commenter. And making your comment unpleasant for others adds an emotional component into the feedback, which is quite effective.
Give me something to pay anonymously with and I would be very happy.
I’ve been noticing horrible battery drain on my iOS devices lately. The battery monitor in settings says the worst offender is “safari audio”. I wonder if it’s something similar.
Young kids love the ability to predict what will happen.

An example of this is Blue's Clues, initially producers/scheduling were afraid that by having reruns in the same timeslot would doom the show. Instead kids being able to watch the shows again was a great boon to their target audience's enjoyment.
That's interesting. I could imagine a video game to employ this somehow, as basically the difficulty in designing video games is trying to make the game not too hard or too easy, so the player gets a challenge but doesn't experience it to be too hard.

Bit intrusive to get the pupil dilation currently, but maybe with future VR gear we can get better information and adjust video game difficulty depending on how the player is experiencing the game at the moment.
My thoughts exactly. The market discovery service mentioned could be done off a distributed network. Making it P2P could also enable a host of delivery Entreprenuers to participate in the delivery in a seamless way with the shopkeeper or the customer setting a delivery bounty.
Two Scientists Question Who Were the First Humans to Arrive in North America
I think your comments about no-index are a bit disingenuous. For example, when I used to blog, having a way to hide content from showing up in a search engine was important to me.

I can imagine that for some businesses this is also true. Not to mention people who are new to creating websites and don’t feel ready for their in-progress site to be indexed, or business that are in the process of closing down.

I think Squarespace does the right thing by making this option easy for the user to control. It’s weird to me that you encourage people to “blame” them. That sounds like a hidden agenda sort of bias to me.
Huh, article says not to worry about traces unless dealing with 100 MHz+ signal lines.

Isn't that very common? Hell even the MSP430 is running at 25 MHz these days.

And for all the other reasons listed in the article, you should avoid sharp corners. It's lazy to do otherwise when mitred 45 degree bends or curves are so easy to generate in a CAD tool. It's the hardware version of a code smell - the board house (compiler) might not care, but it should be fixed - don't give up freely obtained manufacturing slack because you couldn't set up a trace bend rule.

I kind of feel like PCB layout ought to just be done by the antenna engineers for any serious product with wireless comms or high speed I/O.
I don’t think whoever was responsible for this policy genuinely believed that they were making the RCMP more effective by eliminating risk of blackmail. I think they started with “I don’t want gay men working here” and searched around for justification that they thought was a little less unpalatable.
IIRC the Scientology E-Meter is quite similar to this, I can't quite remember if one spawned the other.
Ha yes, or equivalent to 'password'. Raises the point that humans interacting with machines will always display similar behaviours.
I think the proposed improvement to the web in its intentions should mostly benefit the "ignorants", not those that can already navigate through the biases of today's technological gatekeepers. Please note, ignorants are not at fault for being so. Especially when governments cut funds for public education, and media leverages (and multiplies) ignorance to produce needs and sales, fears and votes. Any solution must work first to make the weak stronger, more conscious. A better and less biased web can help people grow their unbiased knowledge, and therefore exercise their right of vote with a deeper understanding of the complexity. Voting ignorants are an opportunity for the ill intentioned politicians, as much as are a problem for me, you and the whole country.
Why not we all just... let them launch and see what happens?

Libra is nothing more than the latest iteration of a long line of stablecoins a-la Tether, USDC, GUSD etc. I find the industry and regulatory overreaction puzzling, surely these issues have been explored before?

The "But it's Facebook!" argument disingenuous, any one of the popular chat app has, or can replicate this experiment (Wechat, Telegram, Slack, Kakao, Line, Twitch, Discord).
It's more that most societies have "doing work" as a core component of obtaining money, and requiring money for things like food, housing, ...
True. Infra is already there, nothing prevents someone from making bookmarklet that uses the same database.

Not all moderation is Orwellian but there is moderation happening right now that is Orwellian.
I have always wondered if the pendulum is really about sexuality at all. It could be that we just become more or less authoritarian. And certain groups are just a victim of that swing.
This is Facebook we're dealing with here.

New Orleans is itself in a rapidly deteriorating state. I lived there for over 30 years, and it has gotten progressively worse and worse over time.

There are now frequent periods where you have to boil your water before you can use it, and it floods in a hard rain which didn't really happen 10 years ago.

I guess what I am saying is I don't believe you, and most of New Orleans going into the ocean as well.

New Orleans and Miami will just slowly deteriorate over time and people will stop investing in these places because it isn't worth the flood risks. Eventually New Orleans will really just be a tourist destination. The French Quarter and probably some of uptown around St. Charles will survive unless things get really bad.
Scientists discover how plants breathe–and how humans shaped their 'lungs'
Job is a rather loaded term. How, exactly, are we defining it here? If your job was to weld two pieces of metal together and a robot now welds those pieces of metal together, but you transitioned to oversee the operation for quality control, strictly speaking, you lost your job to automation, but you didn't lose your 'job'.

Will two million people per year give up tasks they currently do to robots? Probably. That doesn't seem unrealistic at all. Will two million more people per year find themselves in the unemployment line? Probably not.

What's interesting is that (in the US), while manufacturing represented a larger share of the workforce in the past, the absolute number of people involved in manufacturing is relatively unchanged. The so-called decline of manufacturing is more a result of population growth than anything. Automation has allowed individuals to produce more, but it hasn't eliminated the people. The jobs that they do have no doubt changed considerably due to automation.
But it also affects "me" and anyone who tries to follow a discussion by making the text harder to read. The commenter already has a feedback on the visible-to-them score. Why not make negative scores visible to everyone instead (even make the score red or whatever to point out this is a negative comment)? After all at the moment you introduce this visual change you do not care about the bandwagoning aspect anymore.
Meanwhile, in Soviet Russia, traces square you : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TopoR
As a technologist, I agree with your view.
But in cases like sanctions, I think the "Let me show who has the power" mentality takes over.
So, a country (say USA) can pressure its companies (like Microsoft in 1998) to stop providing some features/services/products to have some leverage over the sanctioned country. The unfortunate pattern in history has been that politics wins over rationality.
The only way this can be useful is if everybody has it. Not having it available on Chrome is not a great start.
"The fact that the combination was in a specific pattern and did not appear to be a random combination of numbers could also factor into a calculation of the odds, he added."

Hehe. I guess he'll have to produce a list of non-random numbers to work those odds out.
> sell something with preposterous security claims, so a bunch of security people will jump at buying one to prove you wrong.

my first feeling too. title alone is already going to outrage the infosec community. it'll lead to discussion and condemnation, and that drives traffic ... some will come to his defense and point to "oh but he has a patent" ... then the discussion will splinter further into sub-threads about the merits of the US patent system or whether patents make sense for cash-strapped founders.

Once there is enough traction other would-be con-artists (the Craig Wright types) jump in to defend him or at least amplify the message on social media (maybe even John Mcafee will invest).

I can't tell if the kickstarter campaign was written by a child or a mentally ill person. The patent immediately shaves off 20 IQ points from anyone reading.
>The museum had previously enlisted the help of experts to crack the code, tried default combinations, and had contacted former hotel employees to see if they could help.

It doesn't sound like it was the default, just a "password1" situation.
Robotics could be much more efficient, require less maintenance and cause less havoc when malfunctioning. That alone reduces the amount of jobs required by a fair bit
There's an interesting story about PGP author circumventing that law by publishing his code in a book.
According to that paragraph, not having a comment section, falls under the definition of Orwellian.
The article obliquely touches on it by mentioning how square bends affect the trace resistance and capacitance.
Yeah, iOS XMPP client support does seem to be the issue. Riot gets cross platform support from electron. Perhaps the world needs an electron based XMPP client...

One relatively low effort path for a government might be to simply adopt something like Chatsecure and fix it.
Levels Testing in Software Testing
These two have nothing common, i'm not sure why you bring that up.
It's a complex area, I make much more than my partner so I try to keep things balanced, treat her to Metallica tickets, a nice hotel and a few days in a big city neither of us has been too.

Picked up my Oculus Rift S on the way back.

I don't do it to keep score or anything, I like treating her as her been happy makes me happy.
It is allowed to write code on iOS.

There are several code editors for iOS https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ios+code+editor and Apple has even published an own app for students to learn coding called Swift Playgrounds https://www.apple.com/swift/playgrounds/ - it isn't a full-blown code editor, but it clearly allows you to write and run code.

And that is ignoring cloud/browser-based code editors. That execution model (write code local, run in the cloud) makes sense with mobile devices which have limited power supply. I personally don't want to spin up several docker containers on my iPhone ;)
So basically, Reddit?
Oh, you thought it was an '-n' adjective. I get it now.

As the onomatopoeia is actually nya or nyaa, and the meme is "nyancat", there could be something to this.

Sure, there will be new work created, but what makes you so sure that new work will go to humans? Why wouldn't the guy doing things that were not possible before just buy robots do those new jobs?
Google has tried this once and it failed to gain traction: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Sidewiki
The total population is expected to increase by a billion people by 2030, which is 50 times larger than the expected maximum of 20 million jobs lost. Why would you assume that those 1 billion people are going to find jobs except somehow 20 million people are not? Ordinary population growth is by far the bigger story here.
I can assure you you can use the same jetway on a 737 that you can use on an A380.
In fact, in some northern countries like Finland, all education is completely free, and the government pays you allowance so you can focus on studies.

The only requirement is to pass the entry exams, which anyone can take
Be mindful of moderating it yourself though. You don't want your user niche to be wannabe pedophiles leaving disgusting comments on children youtube video to avoid google "orwelian censorship".
I love this idea, was thinking about how nice something like this would be myself. Sad it'll get no chance because of people going "muh nazis", even though it will work with any URL. It appears theres this assumption that it will be used for politics related stuff which i have no concern with myself. No neonazis will be gathering on the URLs that are meaningful to me and id say most people. Read.write.as blogs/posts have no way to leave comments and feedback, so something like this would be cool. If i wrote blogs there, id like to see feedback and supportive comments if possible. And since its an external function from the site itself, i can either grow a skin or uninstall the addon. It just works.
Square corners seems likely to be less space efficient, which is one consideration of pcb design. Why we don't use round corners or fluid traces might be a better question.
How do you keep all the toxic and evil comments out?

How do you give website owners a way to opt out?
A connection I see is microbiota in your gut. Both antibiotics & fasting affect it (study on flies: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5988561/)

Maybe antibiotics kept under control a bad microorganism, but which had resistance not to be killed. Maybe fasting helped kill it.

The Simple Genius of Checklists
It's actually kind of interesting. After the disaster, the nuclear power plant near me moved it's backup generators literally on the top of a neighbouring hill -- it's about 100 meters above the entire complex. And they made another backup one on another hill. Once you know the problem, it's not hard to fix it. I admit to being a bit worried that now the generators are too far away from the power plant so that when an earthquake happens (we're 50 years overdue for a regular terrible earthquake) it will be disconnected. The irony will be lost if it happens, I'm sure...
The concept of having a machine that can measure X attribute from humans have probably been a thing for long before both of those. Probably the earliest example of that (I can remember from the top of my head) is finding out if someone is a witch by throwing them into water with a stone attached to them. It's just with more technology, the "tests" become more advanced/elaborate.
You want to earn money with your content?

Charge for it instead of uploading it to a platform that shows ads, OR upload it to a platform that can't be used with adblockers!
Not OP, but I certainly would not be ok with that.

iOS is system build mostly for content consumption and designed for non-technical users. As such it has to be protected from both external threats (malware etc) and users themselves (social engineering, phishing protection).

macOS is for me my workbench for content creation and I want it to protected from external threats but I do not want it to be protected from me. Even having to go into System Preferences and typing in my password to run unsigned apps since 10.12 is driving me crazy.

When is comes to privacy, today everything is web app anyway. And to be honest I would feel my privacy would be much more secure if I could run latest version of uBlock Origin in Safari, but I cannot.

For native apps I want to decide if I trust them or not. The only new thing I would love to see in macOS is easy blocking of internet access for particular apps.
Apple has stated a lot of things they changed later. Companies have many reasons to lie, especially if they have a long term plan that they want the public/customers to follow. Just because a company stated something, it doesn't make it fact.

Also i never said that laptops will be made into appliances, i said that they'll be locked down like iOS. You can still do a lot of things on iOS but all of them need to things pre-approved by Apple and a lot of the things you cannot do on iOS is because of its form factor - something that can be addressed with the form factor of a laptop.

If anything i think you may have already fallen victim to the artificial separation that Apple has introduced between laptops and tablets: why doesn't it make sense for laptops to be limited whereas it makes perfect sense for tablets and phones to be limited? It doesn't. There is no reason why iOS has to be limited just like there is no reason for laptops (and desktops) to be limited, it is just that this is how phones and tablets were introduced to the mainstream audience and how the mainstream audience has come to accept and expect them.

The Programmers' Stone (2014)
This is the thing that I was thinking about. That a blockchain-like solution would better fit the goal of the extension. And I don't think this because I worry about censorship or free speech. I think the main benefit of this extension is that it creates an option to comment on sites where to creator of the site didn't make commenting possible.

However I do worry about moderation and trolls. Allowing people to make as much noise as they can is almost as damaging to free speech as censorship. I'm not really familiar with IPFS, what does it mean that unpopular comments disappear? Is it like seeding the only torrent (comments) that you like?
