This was briefly confusing, as AG Barr is the soft drinks company which manufactures Irn Bru in Scotland, and I was surprised to see they had an opinion.

But I'm interested in what the constructive path forward is on the rather more important issue of ubiquitous encryption. I think most people generally accept that well-regulated wiretapping (and other forms of interception of communication) are a useful and important law enforcement tool. Easy-to-use, commodity encryption makes this tool mostly useless. But obviously any "back door" would be immediately leaked/abused, and more to the point would just be circumvented by anybody who really did still want privacy. You can't shut the stable door etc.

We do sometimes choose to outlaw useful and entirely legitimate technology because of the potential for abuse. Is there a reasonable argument for doing so with mass-market encryption? In reality, it seems that the public benefit of having encryption in place is so overwhelming that this is a total non-starter. Or is it simply the case that we now have to accept that this tool is no longer one which can be used? I think we'd have to accept that ubiquitous encryption is here to stay and stop trying to fight it.
I think the problem is that they are trying to create an alternative to pulled pork, but have no idea what to call it. I have a vegetarian in my family and I have made "vegetarian pulled pork", which is using shredded jack fruit as a meat substitute and cooking it in a pot or pressure cooker. Coming from a family where "pulled pork" means slow cooking a pork shoulder for 8-12 hours, cooking "vegetarian pulled pork" is absolutely nothing like real pulled pork, but what else would you call it? I guess BBQ Shredded Jack Fruit is more accurate, but it doesn't sound nearly as appealing (even though it's actually really tasty!).

> 1) Start your business BEFORE you quit your job

I absolutely second this, but I would add a crucial section 1.5.

1.5) Also secure a seed-round to kick-start your company to test the for market fit. Then hire a few employees.

If after the seed-round it is either profitable or succeeds in the market and gets more investment, then it makes sense to quit your job and work full time for the startup.
If you know anything about Barr's long background, you'll know he is not "arguing in good faith".
Thank you, I'll watch that.
And how does salaries (and work environment) in Chicago compare to SF/Berlin?

Animals used for transportation and labor are often shackled and beaten the duration of their short lives, worked until they’re too injured to continue, then slaughtered. Those raised solely for meat might have it comparatively easy.
This will likely never be solved unless a “counterpart” steps forward. It’s been going on for so long and we have little more than when it started.

I know exactly what you mean. The presentation is a bit off what you'd normally consider news. All caps, lighting bolt emoji. Massive bars with cyan text at the top and bottom of the video. An interesting mix of fonts.

I'm not sure what Dr. Coppola's intentions are. But it's a bit of a shame trying to inject what seems like to me sensationalist tone via the presentation, since his message could probably stand alone (although let me watch the whole thing first).

Except we have actual history to look at in Barr's case, Iran-Contra. I absolutely consider this malice first and incompetence second. That malice is classism, people are not equal, some people are inherently better people, and they have more money. Everything is a product. And wealthy people can buy more of that product than others.

This is an attempt to make sure ordinary people cannot have privacy, cannot be protected from either each other, other governments or this government, but wealthy people will continue to be able to buy that protection one way or another. It's a feudalist's proposition. You do not understand the motives without understanding the underlying ideologies. Not everyone can be a lord over their own data - it's a fact. Your data, peasant, is not your data! It belongs to your lord. And who the lord is case by case, it could be the government, it could be a particular corporation or a trade group of them.
I read gizmodo every once in a while for mild entertainment. I have never considered it, or anything related to Kinja, to be trustworthy in any shape or form.
I'm not sure how the simulation theory even solves anything. It just pushes the problem to the simulator. I guess the assumption is maybe the simulator is much less complex, so makes the problem disappeared through our ignorance about the simulator, which is just the 'god of the gaps' fallacy in techno speak.
I changed all the commas to "and"'s" and the dots to ";"'s (except in a.b statements):

I := I+1

Is that better?

You can't really, but at some point you have to trust someone, otherwise everyone would recreate everything from scratch. Though TBH what i had in mind wasn't really the "let's download live code from random places" repositories like npm and pip, but more "static" repositories where all dependencies are either part of the repository itself or assumed to be already on your system.

> The cost of encryption, he said, is measured in "victims" who might have been saved from crime if law enforcement had been able to lawfully intercept communications earlier.

The cost of backdoors is measured in hospitals paralyzed by ransomware, personal information stolen by hackers, government secrets obtained by hostile nations. Not to mention the threat of pervasive surveillance by our own government, which has long shown it's willing to intrude on our privacy as much as it possibly can, laws be damned.
I'd like to see formatting for email that doesn't have the security and privacy vulnerabilities and complexity of HTML email. Markdown would be fine. Inline images can refer only to attachments in the same message, not to arbitrary URLs. Maybe some restrictions on links to reduce their effectiveness in phishing emails. It would be fine. It would be everything you actually need.
The texts on this site are so search-engine-optimized one might be tempted to refer to it as an SEO toilet.

Where does this $5B go, exactly? Into the general fund? If it goes into the FTC's budget, then something is very wrong. This money came from our citizenry, and should be restored to us through something meaningful.
> Let’s run down the Big Three. We’re more than halfway through 2019, and Electronic Arts has only published one single-player game, the indie Sea of Solitude. Last year was much the same, with two indies as its only single-player releases: Fe and Unraveled 2. Activision’s portfolio of single-player games looks even thinner: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the only exclusively single-player, non-remake game that the publisher has released

Right, but, isn't that ok? I don't want to go FIFA on games like Sekiro. I like it better when a team is given 3-5 years to churn out a dank single player experience.
Hard truth: It also heavily depends on how good you are. The salaries talked about are usually the top 10% maybe 20%. Like people throwing around Facebook and Amazon salaries. They only employ a small percentage of devs.

That leaves at least 80% that earn considerably less and 50% that earn below the mean.

Ah, we seem to be focused on different parts of your state to. The problem you ran into is axiomatic, not logical. You are asserting a concept of property that is not the same as Franklins, and then attempting to refute him based on that framework. He (I thinks least, based on those quotes alone) is proposing a quite different framework, so you have fallen into a type of category error. That is what I was pointing out. It’s all fair to argue that his framework is inferior, but it is illogical to just claim he got it wrong because it doesn’t fit the framework you prefer.

I think this has run its course, it’s not a good media to get into something like this at depth.

This is a problem in just about every language that isn't English. Since the language of science is English, either you borrow the English word (which interestingly is likely borrowed from Latin) or you know a local word that.

But at some stage your local vocabulary runs out, and you wonder whether you should just use English for everything in that domain to make it consistent.

I've run into this problem with a load of languages, I just don't know the right word for things like DNA or vector calculus, or it sounds wrong.
no.

Salary is a payment schedule, that's it. Anything else requires contractual agreement.

The fact that you think it gives companies the right to demand irregular hours is more about your mindset than reality.
The ONLY factors that matter when it comes to food are taste, health and price. You can call it a shit sandwich for all I care.

A lot of traditionally foreign foods that have been Americanized are not their authentic version either. For example I’m pretty sure california sushi is not “real” sushi. Such is culture and language. It is not static.
Depending on where you live, recording passing license plates could be very unlawful, and leave you open to significant penalties, so best to check before you set something like this up.

It's the abject desperation of a media group in full tail-spin. Not only is their journalism constantly in the mud but their jobs are in constant peril. They're projecting the tanking of their own industry onto the industry they cover.

The Gizmodo media group, including Gizmodo, Jezebel, Deadspin, Lifehacker, Splinter, The Root, Kotaku, Earther, and Jalopnik, were all bought for $135 million in 2016 and were recently purchased again for "much less" [0]. A generous assumption is that Kotaku is worth around $15 million back then and around $8 million now.

One of the things I miss most about my previous BigCo job was only being able access work tools via my work phone.

Acikill Capsule
An excess or imbalance of digestive acids produced by the stomach can cause a stomach ache, gas, nausea, bad breath and other symptoms. It is a common problem that affects people of all ages. Those who suffer frequently from acidity problems may refer to having an “acid stomach.” Eating spicy foods, lack of exercise, irregular eating habits, stress, or drinking alcohol frequently can lead to acidity problems.
> I also fully support the idea that people should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want with their work product. (within the limits of the law, of course)

Do you want ham-fisted regulations? Because that's how you get ham-fisted regulations.

Lawmakers analogize. All it takes is for some bright representative to think that "vulnerability disclosures" are more akin to "burglary tools" than to public service announcements to justify criminalizing third-party security research (or the resulting disclosures).
If I tell a child that 2 + 2 = 4, and show them four blocks in groups of two, and have them draw pictures demonstrating that 2+2=4, and sing songs about 2+2=4, and yet they persist in believing that 2+2=5, is that my failure?

The tech community has repeatedly and thoroughly explained the impossibility of secure backdoors, but it is apparently a more difficult thing to grasp than 2+2=4, especially when one does not wish to grasp it.
> If they keep chasing that sweet ICO scam money instead of focusing on compliance and institutional investment it will destroy them in the end.

On the other hand, the size of their business shrinks (relative to the crypto market and Binance in particular) once you depend on regulators and the regulation landscape is unclear. You can argue that financial institutions should follow the Coinbase way to be complain but if in the future there is a huge crypto market (with less scams), financial institutions will find a way to connect to the crazy crypto world. This is an hypothesis based on what some VCs are doing: using crypto hedge funds as a vehicle to invest in crypto projects.

Yes, I do the same for the same reason. Fetch Manually instead of default Push or Fetch.
I see those cars get stuck at intersections with cars honking at them all the time (it feels like a daily occurrence, but that's probably my memory exaggerating the issue). The problem with anecdotal evidence is we don't have the data on how good/bad it really is. I can say as an SF resident that I hate those cars and driving around them is obnoxious because they brake check randomly and are unpredictable.
Ask HN: Issues with Callrail API, Custom Fields Like Salesforce
I work with Callrail.com alot, been using them for about 8 months now, built several apps with the API and it seems to be fine.

The issue i'm having with Callrail is custom fields.
I want to be able to create a new custom field in Callrail, like Salesforce, then pass data to this custom field from the API, also get data from this custom field from Callrail using the API.

Is anyone else having issue like this? or any experience like this?
It may be with a different Phone number/text message marketing provider, not necessarily Callrail.

I just want to know if this issue has been solved.

Also, will it make sense to have marketing automation with phone number? The same way we have with email addresses, thinking of a platform that provides something like this.

Programming in a language lacking a repl is always uncomfortable. I always wind up making a 'scratch.{ext}' file and running it to test things (scratch.* is in my global gitignore). Happy an interpreter+repl now exists for Go.

I can’t imagine the pivot to alt-right conservative pundit is all that profitable. Going off the fact that he’s not a public figure at Google and the anecdotal data that any two (or 32) bit engineer will tell you that “tech is dangerous” - me included, I doubt this gets much traction other than him getting immediately terminated for cause.

Single player games are often protected by Denuvo, which sometimes takes weeks or months to crack. Except that the duration during which the game stay protected doesn't seem to have any impact on the sales.
If you have a successful kickstarter campaign and you fail to deliver, that's on you. There's no Big Gaming conspiracy that caused you to fail. You did that all on your own. And people who continue to throw good money after bad ala Star Citizen deserve the outcome they get IMO.

But hey, chin up, Microsoft just threw $1B at OpenAI to make "I am Mother" into a documentary because "we can't discount the possibility of a near-term AGI." And that's some serious #DukeNukemForever optimism IMO.
No, you didn't (miss something that is).

When I was in Hokkaido the opening of the track was rumoured for about 2030. (usual disclaimer, you got it from a guy on the internet, etc)

Also, the trip through the Seikan tunnel (the 33.46 miles undersea tunnel connecting Honshu with Hokkaido) enforces relatively slow speeds, since it's shared with other, slower trains. They would probably have to implement significant extensions that it could be approached with Shinkansen speed.

That said, the train trip between Hakodate and Sapporo is a rather nice one. Aided by a Bento box and a couple of Asahis it's a pleasurable experience. Even if you don't have the over-the-top Shinkansen luxury and speed.

On the minus side I had to stay a night in Hakodate, because appart from the first two trains to Tokyo there was no seat available on any other train. No matter in which class, alas, that was the Sunday, which marked the end of golden week.

Hakodate, while certainly not what you expect of magic Japan, has its attractions in its own rights. Especially when you arrive during the end days of the cherry blossom and there's that really great sushi place, which was a lot cheaper than anything comparable in Tokyo.

I digress, most definitely, but - ahh - I really want to go back to Japan.

That seems proper. AFAIK, these have (statistically) never protected the public, so the legalese is there for protect the company's ability to restrict and penalize the user, as well as fill the pockets of lawyers.

There are wonderful games being made and I even found new titles to call my favorites as the years go by. I do not at all believe games are getting worse.

That being said, there are a lot more games now and there's less hard curation, and some genres have shifted (RTS and classic style MMORPGs are both dormant atm).

My wife was asked to do this, and (and a discussion with me explaining what that means) she told them they could buy her a phone if they wanted that.

The company I work for does not require it, and I agree to have email and slack on my phone. They don't reach out to me on off hours unless there's a very good reason.
In France you can't label nut milk as such, so they call it "nut based drink".

It doesn't matter. Customers call it nut milk. Recipes call it that. Restaurant menus as well.

It will be the same with burgers. It doesn't matter, and it's just a waste of time and resources.

When Napster came out with an alternative to the CD, the industry mocked it, then attacked it, but never tried to learn from it. As a result, GAFAM arrived and took the whole market.

When youtube came out, TV did the same. As a result, the Valley arrived an took the whole market.

The meat industry is doing the same with vege alternatives. They first mocked it. Now they are in the fighting phase. But these products are already as tasty as the average meat (not speaking of high end steaks, but that's not what people eats every week). The difference is that IF and BB can provide consistent quality across the entire production. And since it's made from plants, it will scale way better than real meat, from sourcing to production, so it will get cheaper. Because of the green trend we currently got, not to mention the ethics surrounding the topic, it will be an easy way to get a guilty pleasure while feeling you are doing the right thing.

I understand why Gates has invested in it.
What I mean promptly with this is that Clerky does not allow you to open a bank account but recommends some and for this you must have a presence in the United States and in the case of Stripe Atlas to open an LLC you must be an American citizen (although in my case it is for a C-Corp).
