But does that mean he singularly created, or that some secret sharing scheme won't unlock the credentials without all inventors?
I recommend Posteo.
They've been great to me so far. They are 12 euro a year and run on renewable energy plus have sane privacy standards. All payments are anonymous according to their website. But GPG will always be king for privacy.
RequestMap does all of this, even more. Why reinventing the wheel?

I really appreciate what CIRCL does for the infosec world with MISP but they should focus on fixing all the issues with MISP and AIL (especially AIL) and cleaning their code, instead of starting a project for a need that is already filled by multiple solutions.
is this the purportedly decentralized group that refers to itself, with no sense of irony, as Bitcoin Core?
I've worked remotely for 16 years, and I've had the same Aeron chair the entire time. It has been comfortable, and I like how the mesh is breathable. My only complaint is that the mesh allows dust through to the pod below the chair (where the adjustment stuff lives), and it is very difficult to clean because its hard to access.

In what way. The way I see it if America pulls back, the alternative is either China picking up the mantle of a superpower and enforcing its world view ... or anarchy where local despots enforce a regional order as they see fit. Did you ever wonder why there was/is a proliferation of democracies and the lack of regional wars between local despots?

I'm genuinely curious what you imagine would replace the present American world order.
First off, I hope it is clear that I am talking long trends and not local ones. I thought this would be apparent with phrases like "just a thousand years." What I'm saying is that the vast majority of people on this planet have better access to food, clean water, medicine, housing, etc than our ancestors did. I mean we have AC and people a few hundred years ago had shade and fans. This does not mean that inequality does not exist, nor does it mean that we've made the world a great place and no longer need to improve. It doesn't even say how much further we need to go, just "things have gotten better for most people." If you read my comment that way I do not think it is deniable, but fact. Interpreting it conversely is frustrating because I clearly stated longer trends, not locality.

Second off, inequality can still exist in positive sum games. You can even have players which have gained negative utility. Positive sum just means that the total utility from all the players is positive. Doesn't say anything about exploitation, fairness, etc.

Third, I'd argue that part of the presumption of a zero sum game is a problem in capitalism. Since many people see "games" as "if I don't get x then that is equivalent to losing x". Or "if person has x then I can't have x". This is the "we both can't be wealthy" mentality or "you having more wealth than me means you're better than me" mentality. Given your comment I think you'd agree that these are destructive mentalities, but they stem from (among many other things) thinking of things as zero sum games. Not that we all can be winners.

That said, I do think systems can be exploited and there can be bad actors. But that's not really what we're talking about here is it?

I also want to be clear. When I say there is not a finite amount of wealth I am assuming time exists. At any given instance there is only a finite amount of wealth. As time progresses it either increases or decreases. I am saying that given a large enough time frame (which don't have to be that large) the trend is of increasing wealth/resources.
Exactly, newborns are regularly put in danger as people do not appreciate the seriousness of the most likely disease new borns could encounter, the common cold.

I appreciate you being complete here, though your opening also reads like you are doubling down on your previous response.

Your comment about croup is also bizarre, as the paragraph I included mention of it in is not about colds. Context matters.
I'm Dutch as well, and it was taught to me as part of driver's education. I still open my car door that way, also because it has the added advantage that you're better positioned to hold the door if there's a gust of wind.
Yeah, it has several coprocessors and operating modes below the operating system. But I don't see any docs on the openness of their firmware. And FWIW, any chip this complicated borderlibe requires a management Co processors as the main cores are way too power hungry for a lot of tasks, and need a lot of babysitting to initialize fully. The Cell processor in the PS3 is architecturally a SPI slave for instance.
>multi-billion dollar asset

[number of coins] * [ price of coin] =/= value.

I hate this ridiculous trend of "valuing" currencies by the above formula.

I sold myself 1 HackerNewsCoin™ for 1$(featuring decentralized freedom© and proof of steak®). Since there are 1e13 coins, I am now the world's first trillionaire! I own a currency valued at 1$ * 1e13!

It makes much more sense to compare currencies by their transaction volume, or possibly even better by the volume * days destroyed metric.

Bitcoin SV probably has very little real "float" and so it appears far more valuable than it actually is.
One caveat with Madison Seating (and similar shops) is that they refurbish the chairs and they typically do not use OE parts.

My point is that the common thread throughout history is that world super powers have been incredibly brutal. The sun never sets on the British empire, as they say. For all of its faults, and there are many, America has been a relatively benign superpower.

> that would occur if you fork off the original node process.

Right, so why wouldn't you? Node has a "fork" where you can give it a path to a script to run. Yeah it has to JIT it, but the V8 and Node part isn't duplicated.
Written language
It's an excellent strategy. To add to your examples: Team Fortress was originally a Quake mod, and Valve hired its creators to head Team Fortress 2's development. Counter-Strike was originally a Half-Life mod before Valve bought the rights and made CS:S, then CS:GO.
For humans, yes. For other species, sadly, the last hundred years were most likely devastating. Which make me think that in the end, it is a zero sum game as long as we remain on the same planet and don't recycle our waste.
> The Sion model is to be available in 2021 (or at least that is what I read on their website.)

2021 will probably be more realistic for delivery. Though they say in their FAQ that they will start production in the second half of 2020.
You have to be really ignorant of the world to think that, outside its borders, the USA is a well-respected entity.

It doesn't take a Russian operation to turn the world against American policies.

All it takes, is for an informed person to pay attention to what America and its allies are actually doing around the world. A majority of the world outside of America's borders, actually do inform themselves, and guess what?

What America is doing to the world is ugly. Russia doesn't need to campaign against America and convince people - America is doing enough of that itself.

Those of us who have actually gotten to know refugees from Americas wars, see the truth. America is destroying sovereign states around the globe in order to serve its own special interests (its military-industrial-pharmaceutical complex).

Here in Europe, Americans need to understand one thing: we're not stupid. We see what your nation is doing without needing to be told by authorities what to think about it. A significant portion of the European middle class actually ignore the propaganda and go see for themselves.

We don't have the immense American media apparatus blinding us to the truth of America's wars: 500,000 innocent peoples' lives lost since Iraq, endless refugees from American wars, walking across Europe.

You want evidence that America is out of control? Go talk to a refugee from one of America's wars. Can't do that? Then its your propaganda apparatus working to turn your face from the truth.
His point about fat binaries is a good one.

After using languages with lots of dangling parts such as Java and Ruby, moving to Go was amazing on the deploy end.

With the dangling parts languages, you have a VM of some sort, and packages. All that stuff needs to be managed when you're building the app, and when you deploy the app, and when you maintain the app.

With a fat binary you only have to manage that once, and deployment becomes super simple. We actually put off using containers for quite a while because what's the point of putting a single binary into a container? There are reasons, but its much less compelling than if you have all of those dangling parts to manage.
You put "real time" in there but that's an extreme edge case. Modern GC in the JVM is now able to guarantee around 10 millisecond maximum pauses.

> When I think Java, what comes to my mind is something like LibreOffice.

You should probably revise that thinking, since it is not written (at least in substantial ways) in Java. Moreover, desktop applications are probably not really the main use case for it (or any language other than web technologies) these days.

Java running on server processes or any long-lived computation sits in the top tier of performance. Not as fast as C/C++ but in the same ball-park.
My interpretation is based directly on what the author states. Your "some" is based on a vague aggregate group whose interpretations, in aggregate, would be diverse and often contradictory and mutually exclusive. Personally, I trust the explicit an implied interpretation of the author's direct statements than you mere speculation as to what others might interpret.
Most humans can’t really successfully master complex skills without instruction, though. It would be interesting to see if orangutans can learn to fish with a little help from a teacher.
At work we just got an aarch64 box from a vendor that has a very x86-like UEFI setup. Right down to the "BIOS" setup screens. It was very familiar seeming, but I'd rather have something like coreboot.

The Verge are exactly the type of skewed media that is being promoted by Google. Really it doesn't matter who reported on the Google story as the Google executive's words speak for themselves, as do the leaked internal Google documents that explicitly state that they would modify results to get the political view they're looking for.

I urge people to take a look for themselves and make up their own mind.

Typical cryptocultist response.

Someone highly influential and respected in your community turns out to be a fraudster, and it's actually somehow a sign of strength that so many people were duped by him.

I'm glad all of your electronic monopoly money will soon be completely worthless.
I understand then. We're talking about two different games. (I believe) You're talking about the game of obtaining positions. Yes, those games are "mostly" zero sum.

I am talking about a game which describes how well off everyone in the structure is. This is part of why I say "mostly" above, because if the structure is functioning efficiently it can expand and new allocations can be made, but I'd agree that in that instance it is again a zero sum for obtaining those positions (but now with more allocations than the previous game).
In Silicon Valley, BT Liquidators usually has a good number of choices to test. One thing to beware of is that all sales are absolutely final there, so make sure you know how to thoroughly test a chair for problems or strange squeaks.

The science of fake news
And yet its not confusing. Given the confines of any particular implementation and compiler the behavior can be known without confusion. The author never directly mentions or implies that their intent is to convey that C in confusing. Quite the contrary, they indicate their intent is to demonstrate that certain segments of people who believe they know C don't in fact understand its intricacies.

The author compares docker-based deploys to deploying straight on top of the OS. And looks at it from a "application programming" perspective.

I argue docker-based deploys should not be looked at from a "application programming" perspective, but from a "dev ops" perspective. It is docker vs puppet/ansible. Not docker vs akka.

To me docker is a big step fwd from provisioning OSes with puppet/ansible and deploying apps on top. I have a deployable unit that is accepted in many envs (k8s, aws ecs, roll-your-own), I keep more of the app-specfic code in the app's source code repo (instead of having some of it in puppet/ansible scripts), and we can use the same system locally (on our laptops) for development. And finally the configuration-by-env-vars convention creates a lot of clarity.
Working with People in Different Timezones
It seems to me that languages are making it more convenient to write DSL's, or adding them for you without totally opening up the language.

For example LINQ in C# lets you build an AST and evaluate it at runtime for database-like languages. I think that's a good direction to go.
100rabbits[0] is a similar project. The same people, DeVine du Linvega/Rekka Bell, also created the Orca livecoding environment[1][2] a while ago.

What do you conclude from this? That the economy is booming? That a recession or financial crisis is unlikely?

What does an unemployment rate of 3.7% mean when the labor force participation rate fell off a cliff in 2009 and has never recovered?

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CIVPART

What does it mean when long-term government debt in Europe and Japan has a negative yield, or short-term debt in the US yields more than long-term debt, or defaults on mortgages and consumer loans are increasing?

If the economy is booming, what does it mean when there's incredible pressure on the Federal Reserve to reduce interest rates that are already historically low?

If the economy is healthy, what does it mean when the government runs record-setting deficits and piles up more trillions in unpayable debt?

Shouldn't we pay off debt during the boom, so we have something left in the tank for the bust?

Defaults on mortgages and consumer loans are increasing. We see trade war, actual war, mass migration, splintering nations, evaporating civil society, ineffective institutions and levels of inequality not seen in generations.

These are signs of deep dysfunction with no obvious solutions. Governments, banks and corporations have few tools to deal with crisis when it happens.

What exactly does a 3.7% unemployment rate mean in this context?
I am European dude and not a US citizen, so I am speaking as a third party .....

And Yes I know USA and support it (most of their actions, but not all), and so most of my country.

Interesting, as I lived in Sweden as well, and they were pretty fond of USA as well, even though they are not part of NATO.

Looking at your post history, it is mostly vitriol against USA. Where are you from? How come you speak in the name 'of all europeans'.
Most people are mostly honest and assume others are the same. They are not really expecting someone who is radically and baldly dishonest and so they get taken aback.

I remember my first encounter with a group of really dishonest people. It was deeply shocking. When I grasped just how much lying was happening and the magnitude of it it took me a while to wrap my mind around it. The folks I encountered had built entire webs of massive lies. I now realize they were small time hucksters compared with some of the cons that are out there.
We need to fire the romantics and rail fans and have leadership that actually serves travelers. Approximately nobody actually relies on the long distance routes. Shut down the long distance routes, and spend that money improving service in routes where you actually have a hope of stealing significant market share from air and road travel.

We were having a similar problem with WMATA. People wanted to keep money losing late night service to help the “night life” (and invoking late shift workers as a fig leaf). New WMATA GM said it’d be cheaper to just provide Uber rides for the late shift workers and stood fast against extending hours. Maybe not the hero we want, but the hero we need.
> Part of it has been the tribalism of him going against the obvious weasels that ousted the original Bitcoin team to keep the blocksize low, the transaction fees high and get VC funding for their company that they would market by saying it was the 'people that were in charge of bitcoin'

There are solid technical reasons to keep the block size low. The current developers were active almost from the beginning, you should take a look. And while Blockstream was founded by Bitcoin developers and sponsors development, it's a small part of the total development effort.

As an early Blockstream employee, I'd love to see some source to your claim that we "get VC funding for their company that they would market by saying it was the 'people that were in charge of bitcoin'"

Did anyone ever figure out a way to work laid back? I read a while ago some research concluding that semi laying on your back is better than this typical ergonomic bolt upright position, but you would probably have to mount your screen at an angle and attach your keyboard to some tilted surface. If I remember correctly, a 135 degree angle was mentioned, but it's been a while. I'm wondering if anyone tried it and what their experience is.
Actually it can be. There are free archiving solutions for personal use. I run Mailarchiva [0] at home and it's fantastic for archiving mail and completely free for personal use. Encrypted on disk and you don't need to run it all the time if you don't want. Just fire up the VM for a few hours a month to archive the delta. Has been flawless for me so far and the archive searching is very fast.

I recently worked with a nutcase in Toronto who repeatedly tried to convince me that he invented bitcoin, but it was stolen by an East European fellow he mistakenly shared the info with.

He got rather pissy with me when I didn't share his enthusiasm for that version of the story, and told him I'm pretty sure Le Roux is the droid he was looking for.

As a reseller of GSuite I can tell you this is plainly wrong. Support is virtually nonexistent for paid GSuite (by this I mean, it's the same outsourced team with no escalation path to anyone in engineering). Avoid at all costs for a business.

I am fond of a saying that apparently comes from the intelligence world: "trust, but verify." It never hurts to check. If you are dealing with a big liar you can usually catch them quickly enough, sometimes by just verifying small things like work or school history.
I have a few things I work on, including writing Free Hero Mesh (which is a puzzle game engine).
None.

Bear in mind that most of the flying public aren't even aware that there's a problem, so the only issue is getting the airplane airworthy. PR is a "minor" issue that only affects the airlines and that segment of business travel that are aware of the problem. Don't forget that people forget stuff quickly because there's always something new to worry about.

And for me, personally? If the corrected airplane is deemed airworthy by the appropriate regulatory bodies, I'll have no problem flying on it.
I was a bit shocked to find it was from a senior dev as well. It's classic 'expert beginner' stuff.
I’ve used an Aeron the past several years, and it has been fine; however, I’ve found it quite deficient for meditation sits (~1hour at a time): my legs sort of buckle inward, and the mesh doesn’t give enough support for the alert and upright posture I want to avoid dullness during sits.

Only through extreme levels of compiler code inspection, as it can vary based on optimization heuristics.

> Quite the contrary, they indicate their intent is to demonstrate that certain segments of people who believe they know C don't in fact understand its intricacies.

Demonstrating that people don't know C is subtly different from an intent of testing whether people know C. The point being made is about C itself.
As I see them. well-designed macros are just functions whose input and output is an AST of code. What is the difference then?

There is wisdom in it. Some drugs have a kind of scuzzy zone somewhere between a mild dose and next level dose. If you're taking a drug that perforce requires you to "let go", it may help take enough that you lose agency to resist.
