It would not be unreasonable to use a cheap object store (Backblaze B2) as a host of last resort. This would of course have a cost, but there's always a cost somewhere.
I'm not saying this shouldn't try, but you're making my point: with less risk than other places

It's not "no risk", it's not a safe space, it's just safer than it could have been with no policing. And which other spaces is it safer than? School, the kids room, or 4Chan? Because I would argue that 4Chan is safer than Facebook or Instagram.

You need to address bullying on an individual level, because there's nothing you can do on a large scale that will eliminate all bullying.
The larger theme is

"Technology makes it easier for individuals to beg strangers for money".

I can't open social media without seeing kickstarter/indiegogo this, gofundme that, need money quick, can someone paypal/venmo me money for thing, etc. Then a day, week, month later you see pictures of their brand new cabinets or of their vacation or they are hitting people up for money again for something else because people gave last time so now they expect regular handouts.

Instead of getting creative, people now just go "hey, stranger, you have it better than me, give me your hard earned money!"
So if Twitter's moderators were supporters of the President and they voluntarily blocked all of his critics, that would be legal?
For those curious, the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation was a UN convention in 1944 that established the rules of international air travel. One of those rules deals with taxing fuel - see below.

Article 24: Aircraft flying to, from or across, the territory of a state shall be admitted temporarily free of duty. Fuel, oil, spare parts, regular equipment and aircraft stores retained on board are also exempted from customs duty, inspection fees or similar charges.

I appreciate this comment, because at first I didn't understand why I would ever use this program, and now I want to use it. Rereading 'man rsync' for the 10th time is really is annoying.

But it just will never be worth a 200mb download. Gosh. It's like bloat on a whole 'nother level.
> I would pay a significant premium for a macbook pro without the touchbar.

If a less-powerful CPU is fine, the MacBook Air is great. It doesn't have the touch bar, and in my opinion, its tapering design look way cooler than a MacBook Pro (acknowledging the fact that the MacBook Pro is already one of the coolest looking laptops out there).
>not private individuals or corporations

When they are working with the government, it is not so clear cut. Twitter hosting Trump's tweets is a business relationship between the government and a private business. Otherwise you have created a loophole the size of Alaska that allows government to violate constitutional rights by outsourcing the actual violation.
That granularity makes it pretty much ridiculous.

If you do lots of refactoring, it's great. It could well be the case that most people don't refactor as fast as people did with the Refactoring Browser in Smalltalk. No refactoring was enabled, unless it was guaranteed to be correct, and you could fire them off almost as fast as you could select the right-click menu. On top of that, you had unlimited undo/redo on the refactorings, and on top of that, there was always the Smalltalk Change Log as an ultimate safety net. So when I was in the zone, I would sometimes get an idea, fire off the prototype of a major refactoring as a dozen rapid-fire operations, look at the result, then back it out if I didn't like it.

Refactoring was more exploratory in those days. The Law of Demeter pre-dates those Refactoring Browser days. Basically, it dates from a time before the Refactoring Browser, when people wished they could refactor that fast, but still used the practice heavily.

If ease of refactoring isn't that high a priority to you, the cost/benefit of warping your practices around refactoring might not pan out. "Simple as that," to quote the recently departed.
But that rule would be: No one is allowed in the pool, ever.
I don't understand the rationale here:

> Determine if the BlueJeans desktop application is already installed. This allows us to offer a new installation or launch the existing app based on the user's machine.

If the "Detector" is installed, but the desktop app is not the user removed the BlueJeans app at some point because they didn't want it. How is silently installing it again against the user's prior wishes a reasonable behaviour?
It's not are "either or" question. You can and probably should do both. Formal education will give you the insights to understand the mathematical principles on which the profession is based.

I think you should take a harder look at what is going on here.

I'm having trouble figuring what you're actually saying here.

Do you not like that people can beg? Or that they have to at all?
Mozilla has been pushing anti-features like their survival depends on it. I too have moved to forks. I use icecat and waterfox now. Tired of being abused because they assume too much. Just be a stupid browser and stop being the internet police. You're not making the web better, you're just driving your long time users (we hackers) away, and news flash, no one is there to replace them! Normal users use default tools.
For someone who loves a pun so much, it's hilarious that he never gets that one.

Could you point out where in the song you hear space? I was interpreting the conversation's use of space to mean silence. Do you mean space in the auditory spectrum, but not in the time spectrum? Meaning, this song is less crowded instrumentally than a house/edm song (auditory spectrum), but does not create space in the time spectrum, say like a Mozart sonata does?

Not sure if taking some shrooms can help cure depression but it can really change your perspective on life. Maybe that is what folks are talking about in this article. You are going thru all this pain and suffering, it affects your family , loved ones. It really sucks, we have all experienced something like that. If the patient takes a dose of shrooms (insert mind altering drug of choice) it could help give them a new perspective on the world, their live, and their place in nature.
All kinds of absurd medical beliefs are common in China, so I wouldn't put too much stock in that.
> eliminate all bullying

Why is everyone treating this as the only acceptable condition?
I'm getting to the point where I think 'tax incidence analysis' should be a required course, perhaps required every few years throughout ones life just to ensure it's not forgotten[0]. It would improve the political discourse substantially.

[0] Actual implementation of this would be very difficult on many axes and perhaps impossible without introducing more problem than it solves, but I think it's worth it to try to figure out.
So kubernetes turn the clouds into a commodity. And this is Red hat play. The issue here is that google (kubernetes creator) is afraid to compete with itself (aka GCP), and hence needs another player to complete the picture.
Which religious freedoms have been attacked, and where?
Yeah, but you can see "Restauran" on many signs in Malaysia belonging to those hawker and mamak stalls, and they "own" that word in Malaysia.

Where in Europa (and I'm guessing in Northern America, too) you'd say you're going to a restaurant for dinner, you'd have to emphasize that fact in Malaysia that it would be an "uptown" joint.

I hadn't realized Durians were that expensive! Maybe I have the kilogram-price in my head, but I thought they were less than RM10...

But yeah, RM30-50 is normal, cheap I would think, for a "proper" restaurant in Malaysia. But I haven't been there since ~2013, and last lived there ~2006, and in the meantime, had the feeling that the RM lost buying power over the years...
Yes, quite remarkable. Ross Perot was described as having organised "the largest jailbreak in history" for this (though I can't find the reference now), as several thousand prisoners escaped in the ensuing chaos.
Are they interacting with an official government account? If yes, I agree. If no, then the block doesn't prevent any interactions with an official government account.
By that logic, you should tell dang to stop moderating HN, no?
I think the central problem with native UI is how much better looking web-based UIs are, and the talk I cited spends time making this point. HTML/CSS/Js built UIs have much better, modern, reactive styling options & when done properly, look much better than, say GTK.

I'm personally a huge proponent of C and would love to have access to WebApis [1] via Webassembly. That would still necessitate a runtime capable of interpreting HTML/Css into views, but projects like webview [2] have demonstrated that this access needn't come at a huge cost. For instance, in [3], for a UI in HTML/CSS with business logic in C, system resources clock in at [RAM: 6MB, CPU: 1.3% Storage: 10MB], which is completely reasonable.

To be honest that is one of the most Fortune 500 style responses I have ever read coming out of someone involved in Mozilla. I mean what does 'we are taking that into account in our planning." actually mean?
It’s a bit tricky but as I far as I know France gov can’t by design reserve the profit from any tax to a specific use. It’s all pooled for the global budget, and the pooled money is dispatched according to the agreed plan each year.

But any new project requiring significant financement needs to propose actions to balance its cost to get approved, thus in this instance the project to invest in roads and rails is backed by this tax.

The projected tax amount just needs to be roughly the same as the new project’s cost.
The point of the law is that if your conditions are true, you are designing the code incorrectly.

The point is to avoid making what should be transitive dependencies into direct dependencies. The reason for this is that you may terminate transitive dependencies with interfaces, but only if you don't write train wrecks like a.getB().getC().doTheThing(). You should, compose the interfaces so that you are expressing a.doTheThing().

But sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do, which is why this was later comically referred to as "The Jolly Good Principle of Demeter" instead of "Law".
callahad's comments are appreciated; GP's comment read like fact but its early days so hopefully its just fud.
Big banking is about standardizing things so that they remove all of the thinking and make things more fungible. Standard people with standard jobs buying standard houses and only some numbers change.

But there are enough non-standard things around that also benefit from banking. (No, I'm not talking about crime or bad actors, just people who don't standardize their business for some reason or another.)

Just depends where you are...

As an example: Taking the train from ~OC/San Diego to Santa Barbara is absolutely beautiful, way better than staring at bumpers for ~3 hours trying to make it from orange county to the other side of LA. You can do it via flight but the cost doesn't make sense to fly into SB.

If you were going to NYC from CT (Metro North) via car you pay a ton in tolls then need to spend $15-$30 a day for parking AND traffic.
Sure, but how much was Perot being lucky vs. him being smart? If Apple had gone with acquiring Be instead of NeXT (which I think was a distinct possibility), Perot's investment could quite possibly have ended up a write-off.
That's really cool, the dashboard with code completion is great !
I am reading this differently: it seems likely that Fenix supports extension before Firefox 68 goes EOL, but they don't want to make any announcement yet (maybe, because they don't really know what is going to happen).

I agree with you however. We don't have any guarantee at this point.

Please, Mozilla: don't EOL Fennec before supporting extensions on Fenix. This would be a huge mistake. Extensions are useful beyond adblocking. Chrome not supporting extensions on mobile is not a good reason to consider that Fenix would be good enough without support of extensions. Chrome is not good enough.
If Fenix is not ready early enough, please consider releasing a version 69 of Fennec and then later versions until Fenix supports extensions.

Multi-Cluster Kubernetes: Operational View
The Zoom and BlueJeans apps are both signed, which indicates they're part of Apple's Developer Program, and thus bound by its terms.

If you want to distribute an unsigned app and guide users into bypassing Gatekeeper for it, by all means, do so... but that's not what's happening in this case, nor is it particularly common due to the intentional hoops they make you (or more accurately, every single prospective user of your app) jump through.

One thing I think missing in this discussion is that Trump cannot block anyone. When he 'blocks' someone, he is sending info to Twitter. Twitter is the one who chooses to react to that information, and based on that reaction, block users.

I think the courts conclusion is correct, but their reasoning is not. In this case, I think twitter should not be allowed to stop someone interacting with an official government account as long as they do business with the government (if twitter quits that relationship, then the limit is removed).
Disagree... you should have two types of cables, one low end, low power, etc... one high end, supports it all. That would be easier. As to the audio adapter, would just assume to have an inline dac, I have a USB2 A to 3.5mm 4-pole adapter that would be entirely doable in USB3, maybe a slight bump at either end. Then the device would have to support the given DAC, you'd have the same compatibility issues for audio, but that's already true. 3 failed attempts to get a cheap replacement for my lost my pixel 2 xl adapter.
If logically followed, it very obviously means they can never remove any person from their platform for responding to a public official, at the very least. It entirely supersedes any restrictions that Twitter puts into their terms of service on behavior.

The sole exception would be overt threats of violence, which are generally not protected as free speech in the US.
It's interesting how much of that happened post-acquisition, though. Holding NeXT from 1987 - 1996 = max 3x return. Holding AAPL from 1996-present = 340x return. This return was available to ordinary people on the public stock markets, too - if you were an average Joe who put $60K into Apple in 1996, you would now have Ross Perot's initial $20M investment sitting in your pocket.
This is strangely specific. Is it still okay to dehumanize people afflicted with other kinds of mental illnesses?

> Is this really true? It seems to me that a lot of the people who control the direction of Linux might work at RedHat and IBM, but that can change. It has in the past and it will in the future, billion$ acquisitions don't make them immune.

There's a history of companies simply acquiring the competition:

1) Ansible was written by a former Red Hat employee, and then Red Hat simply acquired his company.

2) Centos was an open source alternative to RHEL, and then Red Hat simply acquired the company.
Hah. I have dozens of horror stories like that. Listening to Spotify at work, headphone jack plugged in to the Macbook. Get a phone call from the wife, need to run to meet her in the restaurant in the city. Close macbook, pull out headphone jack, grab a soda from company fridge on the way down,run into a semi crowded subway car. Remember that I had Tomcat running in IntelliJ, need to kill it. Sit down, open the Macbook. Now Macbook is blasting Norwegian death metal at full volume to the entire subway car while I'm trying to make the touch ID stupidity work with my wet finger with no way to reach the volume controls. Embarrassed, close the macbook, music inexplicably takes 30 seconds to shut down. Sigh.

I don't even want to go into the horrors that is working in vi with touchbar escape key...
Prostitution is certainly exploding. Anyone see appropriate reactions to this? How do we combat the loneliness epidemic that "social" media has caused? So many people raised on "social" media have no idea how to get to the kind of real, healthy relationship they want.
Many cultures use animal analogies to describe nuanced and complicated personality trait combinations. Some of them are more negative than others, referring to combinations of positive and negative traits in varying proportions.

Reductively, calling someone a lion is just as dehumanizing as calling them a shark. In the Bible, people are both complemented and insulted with comparisons to lions. Calling someone a shark is more respectful than calling them a rat, unless you're Chinese in which case I'm not sure what rat means. What exactly is banned here? Twitter gave us only the most obvious examples, leaving the hazy zones open for the endless fighting that I predict is about to start.

It is creating a new session it's just that the server code uses a deterministic session key which is created based on your IP address and user agent.

I think this is super important on any social website that has reached certain level of popularity (Twitter, Quora, FB). Without curation, there is just too much content to wade through between reaching the interesting ones.

The Touch Bar is just poorly executed— for the gimmick instead of the experience. It would be good if it had haptic feedback and was activated by a force touch like the trackpad does.

Allow me to touch it without pressing anything. Let me slide my finger and feel a click whenever I "hover" a different button. Add an option to show me an indication on screen of what I'm hovering, so I don't have to look down. Then when I decide to "press" the button, trick my brain into thinking there's moving parts like the trackpad does.

Give me the buttons of the future.

The big problem for me is that it's a touch-screen instead. Keyboards and trackpads are designed to have you rest your hands on them until you press, so it's awkward to have something that doesn't let you "rest" on it. They both are meant to be used while looking directly at the screen, so it's annoying to have to look down to know what you're pressing.

But it's not private, so if you are blocked, you can simply log out and view it. All blocking does is prevent you from seeing the tweets while logged in and tweeting AT the account. It's really hard to square with how this restricts free speech unless it's a violation of the First Amendment for the White House to block emails, throw out letters without opening them, etc. Plus, muting exists.

I think it's wildly stupid that the President would block people on Twitter, if only from a PR POV (particularly given the existence of muting), let alone read his replies in the first place, but it's impossible to create a coherent case for why blocking someone on Twitter infringes on free speech.
