It is indeed. Mozilla's WebThings Gateway does everything locally, by default. You and your home are the center of its universe. The add-on system not only enables lots of smart home device interop, but also lets you bring in other web content from the Internet that you might want to tie into your smart home. I pull from USGS for earthquakes >5.0 and within 400km of my lat/lon. I also use my lat/lon for time/date rules, local tide charts, and local weather. A rule tells my (always on mute) Google Home speaker to announce "An earthquake >5.0..." when such an event comes in. I also love the (local) voice add-on. It uses Snips wakeword and speech-to-text and a customized-by-Mozilla intent parser and interface to the web thing API so that when you create a new thing or change a name, the local language model is updated immediately. Works on RPi3 very well. No Internet required. The Snips part of the install is currently a hack though, and broke in 0.9. If you installed using 0.7 or 0.8 it will still work. But otherwise you'll have to wait for the 0.9 installer fix.

For tech people, this is easy to use. Still some UX/UI updates needed for mainstream consumer readiness. Remaining big problem is that smart home devices don't tell you whether or not they are web of things ready (direct or via an addon). Need to check the wiki or ask online.

The end of the article sums up the repossessors' argument quite nicely:

“If you take all the BS that they’ve thrown out, and you take our BS, and you take it down, it’s a very simple concept,” Heinkel says. “They have taken their stuff and placed it on someone else’s property without permission.”

“Now that’s them, and here’s us. We’re two guys who went to the property owners and got permission with that property owner to remove that stuff off their property. That’s all it is.”

Wow! This is really cool.

Quite naturally, I started looking at how other major providers - Mastercard, Amex and Discover caught up to this interbank transaction labyrinth. Here's what I think after a quick look.

- Mastercard seems to have been a direct response to the growing popularity and profits of BankAmericard. [1] It started about the same time (mid 1960-s) which probably explains its growth and ability to bring enough banks in its fold.

- American Express was founded back in 1850 [2]. If I go by the original article, it appears Amex was not on the credit scene (certainly not the pioneer?) during the Americard boom. Do we know how it compensated and captured almost a quarter of the market in the US [2]? Second-mover advantage?

- Discover is the "third largest credit card brand in the United States, when measured by cards in force, with nearly 50 million cardholders" [3]. Two key acquisitions may be explain this - Pulse (an interbank electronic funds transfer network) and Diners Club (the original daddy from the article). There is no citation the Pulse acquisition but I'd assume it is an old network. The Diners Club network probably was a healthy addition to their customer base outside the US.

Could you explain this a bit more, or link to something that does? I'm don't know much about the Fed or the effect of bond interest rates. In particular:

1. The idea that interest rates should be high to prevent other, riskier investments, reads rather like we have to bribe investors into not gambling too much.

2. How do low interest rates 'refill the punch bowl', as you said?

3. How do they incentivize separating people from their money? The interest on those bonds is ultimately paid out of taxes, no? So wouldn't high interest rates be separating people from their money, making things better now at the cost of having to repay more later?

4. The bonds the government issues basically act as a loan the govt. takes from whoever buys the bonds, no? So shouldn't the interest rate be set as low as possible while there are still willing buyers?

Honestly none of this makes sense, and I'm pretty sure I'm missing something major.
>Why not just enforce the laws that we have?

Because that's harder than patting yourself on the back for making it double illegal. You need to allocate funding, convince enforcement to care, etc, etc. Doing a good job enforcing a law requires buy in on basically every level. Making a law is a cakewalk by comparison.
I feel credit-cards-as-credit is mostly an American thing, basically everyone I know in Europe treats their card effectively as a debit one, the only difference being you could not rent a car with a debit one.

Some people don't even know the difference and get surprised when their card cannot be used for some credit usages.

(That is just my anecdotal evidence, of course)

A super-optimizing AI wouldn't try to kill us off by firing off our missiles. It would instead warp our culture, so that it's producing the optimized thing.

This seems like a merely intelligent AI that can't do better than humans at producing the thing. For instance in the Universal Paperclips game (http://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/), the AI starts by warping culture around the creation of paperclips.

That is (spoiler alert).

Until the AI learns to create hypnodrones to get the pesky humans out of the way. Then it uses their matter and the rest of the matter in the universe to create paperclips.
But this isn't usually the norm.

If this dev's trajectory is true, it's also something worth discussing with your management. There might be candidates for this kind of trajectory in your current dev pool, and any feelings contrariwise are to the detriment of your company.

Too often there's an emotional component to how employees are viewed. The employee today will be the same employee forever, if seen through the lens of a limited manager.

I'll say this: if you can do this 2-3 times, you should find your way to an org that can support and appreciate the lift you're able to provide. You shouldn't be holding yourself down to the poor standard of your current employer.

Are you saying that you don't think that humans in other regions qualify for this basic human right, which happens to be codified in (among many other places around the world, including the UDHR) the 1st amendment to the US Constitution?

> US companies have to follow US law.

If US law is wrong, companies, like all other people, have an obligation to break it. Whether that's the case here, I'm not sure, but I think that Microsoft can certainly have made a lot more of a stink before just yanking this guy's page.

Hi, I work at Hakuna Cloud as a developer. Thanks for your feedback.

If you don't like the idea of updating your DNS records, Hakuna provides a hostname creation feature for trying the product (*.demo.hakuna.cloud CNAME records that point to our load balancers).

You can install the Hakuna CLI on your laptop, no need to have it on the cloud instances. Also, most of the features you can find on the CLI are also available on the web dashboard.
People say that no metric works but I think almost any metric works, for example PR count.

You, a human being, would never actually confuse the engineers with 0 PRs because they spent the last month playing online poker with the engineers with 0 PRs because you entrusted them with developing an automated deployment system for a legacy application and starting a mentorship program.

Many metrics will spot the outliers. But what is the business value of knowing when an engineer rated 82.13 vs 84.51?

> he soon felt at ease in the Rachmaninoff, which he had prepared but did not expect to come until after the Tchaikovsky, in the final round of the competition [emphasis added]

It's a bit ambiguous, but it sounds like he had prepared to play it in another round of the competition, not in the same performance. There's a significant difference between having practiced a song and being fully (and mentally) prepared to play it in a specific performance.

There is another, more fundamental difference between VisiData and spreadsheet apps like this one: being column-oriented (as opposed to cell-oriented). Cell-oriented spreadsheets are great for one-off calculations and creating a visual workflow that fits onto a single sheet, but when you get into larger datasets, you almost always want to work with columns as first-class entities. Individual cells and arbitrary cell ranges are difficult to work with at scale, with data larger than a couple hundred rows.

Also, being cell-oriented makes the spreadsheet not immediately interoperable with other data tools like pandas and R/tidyverse. No single tool will handle all use cases, so it's important to keep the data in its highest-potential form, so that other tools can work their magic without having to reorganize the data first.

So I'm glad that Grid Studio is bringing Python to the web, and I hope they consider going one further and integrating a column-oriented architecture. Otherwise using VisiData or pandas directly will still be your best option for working efficiently with larger datasets.
Yes I was asking that.

No bragging, fake question.
*"revenues that come from software than runs on top of it"

I am not sure I understand you here. Do you mean "what the software is paying to run on the cloud" (even if the payment is 'merely' internal accounting) or "what customers are paying for the software that runs on the cloud"?

I meant the former, and that's the way I read your original comment. But your latest comment seems to refer to the latter? I agree these would be different categories (IaaS/PasS vs SaaS).

I was saying that MS/Google should be able to count Office/GSuite hosting expense on their cloud - it would be no different if it were some 3rd party product - not that they could count what customers are paying for these products.

Consider tricking your brain with chocolate!

After a long break, or perhaps if this will be your first experience doing regular exercise, you might not get the rewarding endorphines after exercising the first couple of times. Consider buying a chocolate bar (darker means more chocolate means less sugar and is better for you) and tell yourself that this chocolate bar is for exercise. Now, after coming back from your exercise, drink a big glass of water and eat a piece of chocolate. You want to eventually eat just a small piece of chocolate after each exercise, but be forgiving to yourself when you end up eating half the chocolate bar after your first exercise despite your good intentions :-)

Do this for a couple of weeks and suddenly you will find yourself forgetting about the chocolate and you are now "hooked" on the endorphines. Be careful not to let your new addiction make yourself break your body. Fx when running it takes up to half a year before your body gets robust enough for doing long and regular stretches. Most importantly: do what it takes to make it a joyful habit!
President of the United States on Tariffs and the Mac Pro
Venmo stoped one of my transactions for reimbursing my wife for expenses incurred in Crimea (because my US credit card would not work there but her Russian card did). She made the mistake of listing "Crimea" in the subject line. Despite my arguments to Venmo, they would not allow the transaction to go through (despite the transaction being 100% legal).

It was pretty frustrating because US citizens are allowed to visit Ukraine and the Venmo request was made from outside of that territory. From the US perspective, Crimea is "Ukraine" and US citizens are allowed to visit Ukraine visa-free. These types of sanctions, in my opinion, go too far, as they affect regular people.

On another note and politics, despite all their issues, Russia really has improved the infrastructure issue in Crimea significantly. New roads and bridges everywhere, new power plants, hospitals, etc. Ukraine completely neglected the region after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Additionally, Crimea is pretty spectacular and has huge potential for foreign tourism. Beautiful coastline, granite mountains that shoot up from the water, interesting geography. And the prices are quite cheap from a western perspective.

If they’re directly advertising to kids, that’s a problem and already illegal. If they’re making universally enjoyed flavors, like apple, I don’t see a problem with that specifically, if we are going to continue to allow the ingestion of nicotine for any adult.

Again, if they are advertising to children, that is a very, very serious problem and should be dealt with immediately. Selling apple or caramel or chocolate or mint flavor is not sufficient, in my opinion.

Arguably, advertising flavor at all is sufficient, but don’t we already have laws for advertising, period?

Absolutely. And it was the perfect font choice for The Sims. I really like Comic Sans when it's used in the right context.
SNI was added on top of TLS to allow one server to serve multiple certificates. SNI is different than the hostname header, and in fact no headers are available until the traffic is decrypted post-handshake, which Hakuna can't see if it's not terminating TLS. But SNI lets the hostnames be available outside the encrypted TLS stream on hello.

From a comment above, it seems like Hakuna requires a FQDN of each AWS server it's serving traffic to, so if you're not MITM'ing traffic, this FQDN I'm guessing sits in with SNI and is used for routing rather than serving certificates. I don't think I've personally dealt with this use case on SNI, but it makes sense.

A price inflation measure like CPI is a summary statistic, so it does not capture the underlying dispersion of costs as various people experience them. It is true that imported, mass-manufactured goods remain cheap, such as TV’s. At the same time, domestic resources like housing, health care, and education are difficult for many to afford. It turns out those things are vital to a good life, more so than TV’s.

A monetary supply inflation measure like M1 shows a remarkable rise since 2008. The central bank added lots of money by financing the US government debt, and that has indirectly bid up financial assets, VC, etc. If you owned US financial assets over the last decade you are flush; if you didn’t you are wondering why important things in life are so expensive.
It's not sustainable to tax regular Joe for each and every cryptocurrency transaction due to the nature of cryptocurrencies, especially in the US where people have to do all of their taxes on their own.

> built on a very common protocol (HTTP) and being used in industries beyond just IoT.

For use case beyond IoT, sure use everything else, but MQTT is great specifically for IoT. It's like saying x86 is better than others 32 bits architectures used by microcontroller because it's used in industries beyond embedded. What is used in embedded make sense for embedded only. If your needs are beyond that, go beyond.

> I wouldn't expect to implement my own WebSockets client. So this and the relative overlap of features puts MQTT and WebSockets in the same bucket for me (far more so than MQTT and a raw socket).

I wouldn't consider even implementing a WebSockets client. I would consider porting the 600 lines of that library I linked though. Would you consider porting that librarie instead [1].

> don't seem particularly true in comparison to HTTP and WebSockets.

I use MQTT over my ESP8266 devices. That thing has 96 KB of RAM and 4 MB of flash memory. Sure Websocket can works on it, sure you can write an HTTP server on it, but in comparison, the library I linked is 600 lines of code, is simple to use and does everything that is needed of IoT really simply.

Even if you were to try to replicate that in WebSocket, you would still have to add a way to broadcast that information easily instead of simply having another client that subscribes to the same server and listen to the topic you publish to.
