Bitcoin can be used anonymously if you avoid KYC on/off ramps and specific transactions tied to your identity.

That's a big difference.
Well, this design is better than the alternative.

Composing simple devices in a hierarchical address is much better than the old complex devices that had everything explained on the same datasheet, but it had 300 pages and no two devices were alike.
So, you want Twitter to be both law enforcement, and the judicial system when determining if a government employee is breaking the law, and then preventing them from doing so?

This is literally a case about federal law. Why would you hold Twitter accountable, but not the government?
The section that describes how it does it in 50ms is called "#deployless". That describes the mechanics of the deployment. How we made deployless possible is addressed for the rest of the post after that.

This article reminds me of one of my favorite "quick filter" stories:

I had a female friend who would ask every guy she met two questions:
1. Do you have a passport?
2. Do you have a library card?

If the answer to #1 was 'No', then that meant that they had never left the country.

If the answer to #2 was 'No', odds were that they didn't LOVE to read. (This story is from the pre-ereader days)

I've always been fascinated by questions like these that can quickly allow you to parse/grok/filter people with a high degree of success and minimal false positives.
You do not understand how Debian works. Those who do the work make the decisions, not some random HN posters' "pressure".
Mostly yes. It does deteriorate if left somewhere they stay damp, or sit in a puddle, but that's a function of the dish. So we always use something that isn't the simple puddle friendly indentation in ceramic often found in bathroom fittings.

When they get small enough to be fiddly, I press the remnant of the old bar into the new one, so near zero waste.
"millennial culture is just passing around the same $20 to whoever needs it at the time forever." I see this a lot on my Twitter feed.

I was making the point that just because something is 'recent' doesn't mean it isn't necessary and we can go without because 20-50-100 years ago it wasn't needed.

The world changes. I travel all over the world for business. Contracts that I couldn't do without that travel. Just because 50 years ago I wouldn't be able to do it, doesn't mean it isn't necessary now. (Same as internet, just because 50 years ago you didn't need, or have, the internet, doesn't mean nowadays is an integral part of business)

These issues aren't solved with "social welfare and safety nets", that's just throwing good money after bad. I'm totally fine with a kick-ass safety net for people who are actually in poverty, aka have trouble funding their basic needs despite very serious, sometimes strenuous efforts. But someone who is advertising their Venmo ID online is almost certainly not poor in this legitimate sense. Spending more money than you earn, and then on vapid things like social media, etc. has nothing to do with poverty.
I just finished selling my MBP to a refurbishing company because I got so sick of the keyboard and touchbar. OS/X isn’t really the advantage it used to be either with Ubuntu becoming actually tolerable and Microsoft doing WLS.

At least the resale value of the MBP is something no other hardware can really compete with. I mean, I know I kind of cheated by buying on a students discount for a diploma course I was taking on the side at the university. But I managed to get 80% of what I originally spent on a 8 month old machine, and I most certainly won’t be able to do with whatever I replace it with.
For what its worth this is what a lot of CAD and EDA tools are doing (Autocad, Vivado (Xilinx), Cadence etc.)
There are places like that in Alaska, and I heard a forestry guy saying that even though a place get dumped on with rain regularly, a two or three day dry spell negates the preventative effects. A bit of wind and sun dries the trees out quickly, then it's just a matter of lightening, a camp fire, fireworks or an ill-tended burn and the whole thing will go up in flames.
Let's not confuse accounting earnings with cash flows. Red Hat is generating a decent amount of cash ~1B in cash from operations (difference from 433M mostly due to stock based comp and deferred revenue, common for software companies).

I didn't look into the details of the deal but IIRC $34B is the enterprise value, so it probably includes a refinancing of Red Hat's debt. RH had ~20M in interest last year, so you can take that off of the 700M.

So now we're talking about 680M in marginal interest expense on a firm with ~950M in pre-transaction free cash flow to equity. Not to mention RH's 65% top line growth in 2018, we'll see if that happens again. This transaction could be cash flow positive right off the bat.

Also Red Hat is operating at an ~18% ebitda margin (did not go looking for add backs), I'm assuming IBM can get that up.

Of course, it's easy to imagine IBM just torching all of Red Hat's top line... can't rule that out.

We currently have a team of 18 people - made up of Mechanical, Robotics, Machine Learning engineers and Farming Experts who believe that sustainable and profitable farming will come from smart robots operating in the field.

We are developing an autonomous mobile robot that can go through a field without supervision, uses Computer Vision and Machine Learning models to identify and classify weeds from crops and then removes the weeds mechanically. It's a labor-free and chemical-free alternative solution to the current weeding process.

Making an App Is a Terrible Idea, but Here's How You Can Do It [video]
There's a well in the cellar of their head office.

The partners (who I kinda assumed would be silent) are actively involved in day-to-day decision-making about stuff like lending and new customer applications (I met with one of the partners when I applied for an account and he then had to get the agreement of his partners before they accepted me as a customer).

Their online banking service is a lot slicker than I expected. While they obviously make an effort to preserve their offices in the traditional style you see in the photographs in the linked article, I get the impression that, behind the scenes, they employ totally up-to-date technology.

They donate a significant chunk of the bank's profits to charity, through the Golden Bottle Trust - https://www.hoaresbank.co.uk/sites/default/files/styles/The%...

Their pens are really good.
Don't really follow your logic here, you're conflating prostitution and a "loneliness epidemic"? Prostitution is as old as civilization itself. Older, probably. I don't see rising prostitution as indicative of anything other than 'poor people are low on options'

Yeah, all this stuff is actually designed for large teams (though, it'll be a while before Dark is production-ready enough for them). CD matters because it allows you deploy in small chunks which is much less risk than deploying in big chunks.

The feature flag is a thing that you might not need if you're small, but it completely changes how large teams work. Same with DB migrations: if you have a small amount of data you can just do a schema migration and the locking wont affect you too badly.

We'll have a permissions model at some point that will take care of the ownership problem. We designed Dark to allow extremely fine grained ownership, for example allow a contractor access to a single HTTP route or function.

Overall, this is kinda similar to how we went about building CircleCI. We focused on good tooling for companies (eg parallelization and speed) instead of individual projects (eg build matrices).

More to the point, emacs-w3m does not have a cache at all.

That's the real thing to take away -- that images are not the issue, the cache is the issue, and there are lots of things that can go into a cache beyond just images. If you're not caching anything, you could probably load images by default and you'd still be fine.

What I loved most about the seriously ancient UIs, way back in the Win 3.x days and forward, was that not only were the options categorized, they also had prominently displayed (right justified instead of left) the keyboard shortcut you could memorize if you knew you were doing it frequently. Yes, that sort of still exists, but you have to go out of your way to do something extra to see it: these days you have to tap a modifier key while in the focus area of the menu.

Screaming is disruptive, replying on twitter isn't, even in all caps haha.

If you're actively disrupting the ability of the president to communicate, sure, that's not okay and you may get removed from the platform. If you're replying with opinion and commentary in a way that people can opt into, that's not precluding anyone else from hearing the president. At that point, it becomes about managing the power differential.
It will still work on localhost, which is nice. It would be nice if it also worked on local IPs, like 192.168... Those do not work on Chrome, I think, which make mobile testing a bit more cumbersome.

I realized that I have a weird antipathy towards bootcamps in my mind a while back, so genuine question: what's in modern bootcamps as they are usually run that you couldn't pick up yourself more efficiently (either by doing a few toy projects before starting a job or in the first few weeks if it's a new-to-me stack)?

I see ads for bootcamps that want people to pay them for a course on some popular language or web stack all the time and I'm never quite sure why anybody would go for these / why you'd even want a course on how to be an "<X> programmer" in your resume.
I keep saying it, we need trains with sections that can detach to stop at stations (and reattach at the next passing train after leaving the station) :).

Btw, does anybody know what is the marginal energy cost of a single car added to a train running at constant speed?

I think both of these themes are equally true. Informal (and formal) community organizations have long supported those they feel are most in need, and people have long begged strangers for money. The internet simply makes it easier to do both.
yeah, early 1500s to be exact(er), I think.
It looks like if you delete Blue Jeans.app and then restart (or log out), the webserver won't relaunch. It will attempt to run on load, but the actual script to start it invokes the app binary with a special argument, so deleting the app is sufficient.

The "log out" part is because the webserver will presumably continue running in memory after deleting the app until you force it to quit. It's possible that it watches for the app to be thrown away, but I don't have any way of testing that right now.

The way art 30(5) is drafted though means that the exception applies to basically nobody. What business can, honestly, say that it only occasionally processes personal data? Does it have no employees? Does it only occasionally communicate with people? That hardly seems likely.

Yes, it's probably a drafting defect, but I think one would be very brave indeed to try to rely on it, especially given that establishing an art 30 record is, practically speaking, a prerequisite for being in a position to comply with the rest of GDPR.
The OP video describes a FS based on Innodb and MySQL. It gets relatively poor performance (7-9X slower for common FS ops). However, the killer FS ops for a DB are subtree operations - 'rm -rf', 'chown -R', 'chmod -R'. In research in this field, these are the operations that get less limelight but are most important for a working system.

I hazard a guess that the above implementation could still be made many times faster (maybe even 10X) by using InnoDB's native API, instead of the much slower MySQL Server SQL API. Here's an example of what you can achieve by going native - 1m ops/sec on InnoDB 8 years ago. This is the main guy (sorry Mark!) behind RocksDB implementation:

You are making software reactionary arguments for people doing a lot of work to support you touristing their software from an ancient, long out of date software distribution (which is what people that use Debian Stable want).

If you are going to make bug reports or even comments you really would be better to state you are on Debian Stable from the beginning, it's actually rude to make people think you are on a reasonably supportable distro without warning.

Flatpak is probably your best choice to encourage people to be even able to support your distribution choice going forward. The sandbox also has some attendant benefits that will bear more fruit in the future.
Nope, a lot of people think it’s obsolete because of the Macbook Air. Larger screen, similar thickness, and a more powerful processor. They would still think so even if the 12” Macbook had an upgrade.

I wish the article was more substantive. It talks a lot about the commendable resources that Sean Parker has put into cancer research. However, Stat doesn’t give much detail about the specific research and innovations that Parker’s institute is pursuing. The high praise for Parker seems a bit hollow as a result, even though I’m sure it’s earned.

If Twitter was the whole internet, then you would have a point.
You assume they care about the user. They don’t.
It's worth noting that when you do a hard refresh, obviously you won't get a 304 Not Modified, which is what this tracking relies on. So, if you wanted to clear the state, that would be one way.
Exactly, that's the point. The government is much better positioned to distinguish between genuine need vs. boredom and a clever pitch that the Venmo-using public at large.
Ah, you confused productive with cheap.
Using your reasoning, a bloody knife is illegal because it's "evidence of illegal activity".

...You've got some balls to lecture others on dishonest argumentation when you can't even honestly tackle the argument as I wrote it.

One can cite or represent a bloody knife for shock value. In such cases, the implication is often clear. I suspect you're either misleading with the shocking implication, thereby having it both ways.

Perhaps I misread your intention. However, your scenarios don't really make sense if one applies the "not a big deal" interpretations. Sure, there are situations where it's not a big deal to post a diary entry. In that case, why would anyone care and why would there be any censorship which would be considered "good?" It doesn't make sense.

So are you suggesting that things you deem as morally reprehensible should be exempt from your "principle of Free Speech?"

There is indeed a problem with speech devoid of principle, meant only to hurt someone. This is understood by the law. The purpose of Free Speech is to let people express grievances or objects with regards to principles. Morally reprehensible speech should be allowed, but it's not the purpose of Free Speech. Some subset of morally reprehensible speech would even be illegal, and therefore it wouldn't be protected as Free Speech.

Again, it's you who brought up the nebulous extreme examples in the first place, with the purpose of having it both ways to justify censorship.

> it's very annoying to click on a method in my IDE, and then get shown the interface definition of that particular method. I'll then have to trace my way through a couple of files to find the dependency, very annoying.

The IDE should be able to show you the implementations. When using Java and Eclipse for example, you just hold Ctrl and hover with the mouse over a method call. In the appearing dialogue you can then select "Go to implementation" instead of "Go to definition" (or similar) and Eclipse searches for and then shows you all classes that contain an override for that method and then you can click on one of them to view that specific overriding method.
I know former colleagues on the East coast and in the EU who I stay in contact with who, oddly enough, they are all looking at NetBSD for embedded HW work. We all used to work together at a small startup in NOVA, but we all parted ways about 12 years ago. All four of us did *nix stuff and more or less still do, but I'm pure SW, while they are more HW/SW integration.

These are but a few. Here in the Houston area, there are tons of FreeBSD/OpenBSD users.
That reminds me of a great anecdote from Graeber's Debt:

"The anthropologist Keith Hart once told me a story about his brother, who in the '50s was a British soldier stationed in Hong Kong. Soldiers used to pay their bar tabs by writing checks on accounts back in England. Local merchants would often simply endorse them over to each other and pass them around as currency: once, he saw one of his own checks, written six months before, on the counter of a local vendor covered with about forty different tiny inscriptions in Chinese."

Despite our multiple inquiries with the Kent/Hertfordshire police in the UK, it's still unclear whether they fully investigated arguably the most significant lead in the theft: a suspicious man named "Jamie" who attempted to sell similar-looking model locomotives to a train shop ~62 miles away, just hours after the robbery was discovered...Jamie took off in a rush after the shop's owner asked for paperwork on the trains. The Kent police say they passed the lead onto Hertfordshire; the Hertfordshire police told me they have no record of the incident.
