Thanks for asking.

- Automatically filter incoming content by multiple media types, particularly audio. Pocket has "articles" and "videos" but I get a lot of random stuff in "videos." If my link is coming from soundcloud.com, podcastnotes.org, listennotes.com etc., there's a 99% chance it's audio.

- More filtering options without requiring search, particularly by my most-saved content sources.

- This is personal preference, but NO (or at least the ability to disable) "discover" feed of suggested articles. I consider Pocket a productivity tool, allowing me to access my own idea of high quality, relevant content whenever I have a few minutes of downtime. I've already removed all the mainstream news/social network/scrolly-feed apps from my phone to resist the temptation to scroll mindlessly through whatever's new. Pocket's prominently featured feed of popular but lowest common denominator articles presents a problematic distraction. I understand that Pocket injects ads and paid or partner content in this feed, but I'd rather pay to have this feature removed than to remove the ads.

- No social networking aspect or associated user profiles. Don't care. Actually this just makes me wary that one day Pocket will decide it wants to be a social network and suddenly all my presumed-privately saved articles become "social" meaning visible to everyone on my profile, requiring manual privacy resetting to hide them, a la Facebook.

- The option to see which articles were the most-saved by other users in a given subject area could be interesting. This could have feature overlap with Nuzzel (app that shows you the articles that were shared by Twitter users you follow).

- Seconding another suggestion for the option to read the article aloud, presuming it's high quality humanish narration.
> A Rolex and a Timex will both tell you the time. An iPhone and a $129 Android will do mostly similar things. A Toyota Camry and a Porsche will both get you to work.

If your priorities are telling time, having a smartphone, and commuting to work, I agree with you. But I think the more expensive products you mention offer things the cheaper products don't.

For example, I'd rather have a Camry if I needed a family car with a reasonable total cost of ownership. I'd want a Porsche if I wanted a fast & sporty car.

I think stronger examples would be comparing cheap & quality products that both cater to the same market segment. For example, making a cheap car that cuts corners on expensive parts like emissions controls, safety equipment, and stitching in the seats, but making it look & feel like a Camry. Eventually that a line of cheap cars will develop a reputation for being an overpriced junky deathtraps, and no amount of marketing will hide that.
You arguments are bit like: if you can't afford a car just move to place with good public transportation. Problem solved

Guess what? People decide every day that they want or need to live near public transportation because they can’t afford a car. Also, relevant to the conversation, people also decide not to buy a car that cost a lot to purchase and maintain because it’s not in their budget.

There are just not enough places to accommodate everyone that needs that. Hence you end up with people paying predatory car loans.

There are plenty of non elite cheaper colleges in every state.

People choose to live near public transportation and buy cheap cars every day.

I am not questioning that for one particular individual, it is possible to get a good education for far less than the average. Good for them. But that approach neither scales well nor is applicable to population levels,

Since most college graduates aren’t graduating from “elite colleges” and the sum total of graduates from non elite colleges is much larger, and I posted statistics at the population level, again, it’s easy to show that you don’t need to graduate from an elite college to earn a better than average wage.

As a note to the career prospects, how much you make in 10 years is not such an optimal measure. 10 years is a long time, and you do benefit more early on. The opportunities and overall quality of life is more impacted.

This is also provably incorrect. There are plenty of statistics about where the peak earnings years are for most Americans.

"A FIRM Union will be of the utmost moment to the peace and liberty of the States, as a barrier against domestic faction and insurrection. It is impossible to read the history of the petty republics of Greece and Italy without feeling sensations of horror and disgust at the distractions with which they were continually agitated, and at the rapid succession of revolutions by which they were kept in a state of perpetual vibration between the extremes of tyranny and anarchy. If they exhibit occasional calms, these only serve as short-lived contrast to the furious storms that are to succeed. If now and then intervals of felicity open to view, we behold them with a mixture of regret, arising from the reflection that the pleasing scenes before us are soon to be overwhelmed by the tempestuous waves of sedition and party rage. If momentary rays of glory break forth from the gloom, while they dazzle us with a transient and fleeting brilliancy, they at the same time admonish us to lament that the vices of government should pervert the direction and tarnish the lustre of those bright talents and exalted endowments for which the favored soils that produced them have been so justly celebrated."

The U.S. senate isn’t run in the background by a totalitarian state.
That's a lot harder than it seems, so, I have my doubts. It needs to not only run fast enough to bit-bang the signal but also simultaneously respond to bus requests from the 6502.
Especially automatic refactorings...

If you look at real code, often the main reason why this routine was added to this file... was that the programmer worked in this file last.

Is that a Good Reason? No it's a bloody awful reason.

An automated tool should be able to look at the network of declarations, definitions and references and work out which module each thing should be in.
Pretty cool! Actionhero uses the ‘require cache’ trick in development mode to hot-reload your changes as you go. It’s risky in that even though you’ve change the required file, you may not have recreated all you objects again. For that reason Actinhero doesn’t allow this is NodeEnv is anything besides development.
The not-answer answer is fairly simple - negative interest rates are "natural".

If I give you a car / boat / house / gold bar to look after you will charge me a fee for the effort.

Where money is concerned there has been a magic trick - initially banks took your money and paid you a fee (interest rates).

However they sneakily make more money from other things

- Just offering less interest than you earn (competed away)

- Account fees (competition eats those away)

- Taking three days to move
money (regulators eat those away in EU, in US finally the Fed is killing it off - soon)

But overall, giving someone else money costs us money. Positive interest rates it seems are a thing of the past.
Yes, indeed. Sort of defeats the point of Postwoman being more performant..

Still, this seems safer than the various extensions that have been recommended in order to disable the SOP. I'd rather the user's data wasn't on the line.
Is this perhaps just an error in confusing relative and absolute terms? That is to say, being that we know that simple rules can generate complex results, it is thus possible (likely?) that a series of complex results will result from simpler rules, making them seem "simple". In other words, given any set of rules X, the results Y will often naturally be more complex, such that C(X) < C(Y), leading to the after-the-fact mis-interpretation that the rules themselves are simple, vs. the more accurate, but certainly less exciting, statement that they are mere simpler.
Some people hide their Dock.
Sure it's a mark against you, but for many people in lower earning career paths, erasing 1-2x gross salary after attending a modestly priced college is well worth it. E.g. A journalism student who earns 40k and had 40k of debt would need to pay $5,700/year, before interest, to have the loans paid off in 7 years. At 5% interest, $6,800/year.

I think it'd be great to have institutions competing on price and taking steps to knock down the costs of attendance. There are also ideas around for people to pay a percentage of their earnings post-graduation, though the cynic in me says those will become just as predatory as the current lending structure.

My university has built 3 dorms in the last 30 years, and all are suite style and ridiculously expensive. Despite earning little money, middle class college students want to maintain the same standard of living they grew up throughout college and first jobs. Yet another of the many challenges in the space.
How do you send or receive money from home?
The average amount spent per person in our restaurant is over $100.

Never seen a vegan restaurant at that price point. Have had vegans complain that a $15 cauliflower appetizer is too expensive however.

Edit - vegans also tend to restrict their diets further such as raw vegans, 'whole' food vegans, oil avoidance is a thing in the community, as is gluten free.
I was being downvoted for my comment:

- the modem is for data and not for voice

- they use matrix for calls

however:

"The Librem 5 will be the first ever Matrix-powered smartphone, natively using end-to-end encrypted decentralised communication in its dialer and messaging app."
They did manage to salvage the company, but they lost hundreds of millions of dollars in the process. It was an absolute disaster for them.
Except I've seen him do shows on topics I'm more aware of and realized that he doesn't treat them completely fairly.

It's like Michael Moore. He's obviously too biased to have a fair view.
The whole thing sounds pretty damning until one considers that Enigma was in the end an intelligence operation to place things in perspective.
I thought this was the source? https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring

Or are you referring to the cloud aspects of Mailspring, like read receipts etc?
Because it's a pointless benchmark. Comparing percentages for an artificial app that's small enough to reasonably print out at 12pt text doesn't show anything meaningful. Seventy kilobytes, even on a bad device on a slow connection is hardly noticeable. Show me real meaningful data.
Apple

Do you have links to any of the refutations? I recall hearing that the iPhone separates the baseband, but I thought it was otherwise usually on the same chip.
And indeed that's one reason (of many) I don't like to write checks. But I'd still argue that the threat model from giving a physical check to someone you know or do business with is different from linking your bank account with some online service like Venmo, where any mass breach or vulnerability might result in a wide array of people now having access to my banking information. And even if my bank covers me in the case of fraud, they don't compensate me for the domino effect problems that can come from having bill payments bounce because the account was emptied.

To be clear I'm not arguing that this is a good system, but as long as it is the system we have, it's wise to limit who you give your banking account information to, regardless of channel.
This seems oddly specific and arbitrary. What if the engineering effort in porting it over is not economically viable?
Does this affect anything outside the Linux kernel? Will *BSDs be able to use the specs without patent fears? What about microcontrollers, and the Arduino community?
Cool! I’m curious if this is something that nodemon/pm2 could do as task runners. You could call “npm update” and then hup your process...

This is sort of how Capistrano handled deployments, changing a symlink to all project deps and then signaling the process to reload
Repeated typo. "Casual convolutions" should probably be "causal convolutions".
The point is they act as a deterrent. The money raised can be used to mitigate the effects of the emissions.
Collaborative Music App Idea, what do you guys think?
I am currently working on a platform that helps musicians connect with each other based on their likes, skills and allow them have fun. Moreover, the platform is meant to allow live jams and turn-by-turn jams. Live jam is just as straight-forward as it sounds: you match with people that would vibe with you and you start jamming with each other while other listen to you. The turn-by-turn jams are meant to validate music ideas on an early stage and help you get inspiration easily from other musician friends or people that could be a match for you. Resulting in a further collaboration for the respective music idea. The person responds back on your small sample with an overlayed sample, and the idea starts to grow and get an outline in a fun way.

For an overview have a look at: rejam.live

Sorry, dumb question. :)

I guess I never noticed a problem because either I mostly use ext3/4, or I am so used to using legally dubious drivers that I forgot they were there.

I mean, who ever gives you a FAT formatted disk? I don't have floppy drive anyway :p
> Just because they're experienced doesn't make it a great argument.

Neither does saying "this is a pretty lazy criticism that doesn't hold water for anyone who's spent more than 5 minutes looking at async Rust code." It clearly does and did.

If Apple stopped doing business with China they would have to stop selling products all together.

There just isn't the manufacturing capability anywhere else in the world to compete with China. It's a shame that the world outsourced such an important skill but that's where we are.
>internal promotion of engineers to engineering managers

That assumes you have ICs who want to and have the skills to go into management. Promoting people for the sake of filling a chair leads to really bad dynamics.

Moreover, newly promoted managers lack experience and if all you have is the blind leading he blind then it tends to create issues. You need some seasoned people in the mix to provide guidance.
It's more likely that Microsoft Office will become 100% "cloud" based software.
Insight into the Speed of Light
We (the west) are just starting to understand that China seems to be a mafia state in a similar way that Russia is. I was watching an ABC (the Australian one) report about the rampant corporate misconduct of the Crown Casino, and how they helped launder Triad money in Melbourne. It turns out that a major player in the racket was President Xi's cousin and a high ranking member of the CCP. Additionally, we've seen Triads deployed in Hong Kong recently to attack protestors.

Yup, the online bill payment ends up sending a check anyways, but saves me having to find a stamp and envelope.
I've also observed the problem where analysts or product managers cherry pick the data that validates their assumptions.

A "funny" example I ran into was product wanted to ship a notification that "test better" (i.e., had a higher interaction rate) in A/B testing. Some developers pointed out that the notification was likely seeing higher click-throughs because it was incredibly vague and users clicked through to figure out what it was about, and this would likely result in user frustration. Well, this insight was ignored and the notification change was shipped.

Our notification opt-out rate spiked a few weeks later.

When I read Arrian, I remember thinking that if I was one of Alexander's generals I probably would have killed him. After 10 years of war you might want to kick back and enjoy being an Emperor. But apparently all Alexander thought about was what to conquer next.
One book on the subject said that during the Cold War, Soviet surveillance was so good the West couldn't recruit anyone in the USSR to be a spy. The only successes the West had during that time were when a high level Soviet officer or politician literally walked through the door and said "Hi I'd like to defect and I have lots of useful information."

The question can be formulated in a couple of ways: how much suffering outweighs the benefits of living?

Or, is there an amount of happiness that outweighs some amount of suffering? Among utilitarians, that's one of the major differences.

Your argument is valid and has been made before, and the answers are varied:

Given the direction they're going with the web versions of Office 365, it's entirely possible that the future involves them deciding porting stuff to the Windows version is not economically viable and relegate the native apps to legacy support like IE.
They are less than 1 hour by train, which is about the same as to Heathrow from Oxford Circus. In terms of passenger numbers they are the 4th (STN) and 5th (LTN) busiest airports in the UK, and 22nd and 35th in Europe.
Updating any non-trivial layer in your stack usually gets you into "complications" - that alone must never be an acceptable reason to be stuck on old versions, especially if there are serious problems with them.

You simply chew through those complications. Again and again. And try to optimize your application for less complications in the future, if possible.
No. Check the latest updates in the github thread.

1. We will release an update that we think is compatible with the AMO reviewers' demands.
2. You can just read the readme for the project on github for a non AMO but easy way to install it.
Exactly. They are likely doing this because smartphone makers were already moving away from supporting as cards. The patents will likely expire soon too.
I mean at least you haven't been murdered.
Unfortunately this is really the only way to do things though. Except to use a completely anonymous system (does such a tool even exist? Or one that is close?). And it creates a feedback of unethical behavior. Unethical behavior starts out small and grows step by step, the person might not even realize how far they've come. There's also this same ethical slipping on the viewers side. They may never participate, but what they become complacent with not reporting can grow. They may feel fear that something is only slightly unethical and don't want someone to be fired. That also grows.

So unethical behavior needs to be stopped early on, before it is a firable offense. But that requires a change where ethical people can feel safe reporting and also not feel like they are going to ruin someone's career for something small (I think this is also a key component).

So how do you take care of responsible reporting with these kinds of problems? Even if we ignore the already existing unethical behavior.

It cancels after a few weeks (IIRC) of remaining unclaimed.
That is true. FWIW, as an experiment I built a 50-node ECS cluster and launched 4000 tasks on it. I couldn't build a single service with 4000 tasks due to soft limits, so I built 4 services with 1000 tasks each (nginx, 256MB, 128 CPU units). No load balancer.

Overall task replacement time was about 15 minutes -- which is pretty respectable, in my view. Obviously not as fast as doing a hot code swap, though. Tradeoffs abound.
A mechanical switch would do it for me. I tape the camera on my laptop till then.
Toward a unified model of the brain action of psychedelics
The NPR segment is just repeating what Bloomberg said.

The ZDNET story is about a Huawei engineer ... wait for it ... asking someone at Foxconn about what components Apple uses in its smart watches.

The CNBC story is about Huawei and a tech company founded by one of their former employees suing one another, each alleging the other stole trade secrets. These sorts of disputes happen all the time.

You'll notice that nowadays, there's tons of reporting on every minor IP dispute or claim involving Huawei. At the same time, and I'm sure this is completely coincidental, the United States government is trying to paint Huawei as a "bad actor," so that it can be used as a hostage in the trade war.
That’s great but there’s nothing benevolent in their intentions. I don’t mean that as a slight, they’re the same as any other corporation - driven by profit and growth, not benevolence.
Presumably, they're referring to the risk that someone might dig up nuclear waste and use it in a dirt bomb. But that kind of delivery method would be better used to deliver chemical weapons that are much more toxic than spent nuclear fuel (and probably easier to obtain, nuclear waste or not).
FTR the reason why i don't use emacs is because it frustratingly has too many degrees of freedom, and thus is perpetually misconfigured, and I find it has atrocious UX.

December 2016. Are you really going to base your position on data that out of date when things were far more opaque?

How about using the S-1 or quarterly filings instead.
I like some of the information in this, and unfortunately I missed the conversation when this made it to the front page a couple weeks ago, I just wasn't in the right headspace.

But I disagree with one of the value judgements:

> As you add more and more users, you learn less and less because you will keep seeing the same things again and again.

No! The frequency of errors is your priority list for UX fixes. You may not, as they claim, find more errors with more than 15 people, but more data samples gives you information about distribution and frequency of errors (do people make this mistake once in a while or every single time?).

You might not need any of that data to make a rough priority list, or it might be helpful for negotiating scope. It'll depend a lot on context.
“When you join a startup, there’s a lot of emphasis on the design of the application, reusability and clean code, and the ability to conduct and undergo code reviews, as well as the ability to think of and build systems that can scale based on users and geography,” he says.

I got a good, long laugh out of this. This describes the exact opposite of my experience in a startup. None of those things were ever a concern until I worked for a company that already had a revenue stream.
It's unfortunate, but it's rare for any company to give direct feedback when passing on a candidate. It creates legal exposure for very little benefit to the company since they've already decided not to invest further. As a candidate, I hate getting rejections with no feedback, but I understand.

I only need Outlook or at least a decent Groupware Client for EWS (EWS for Outlook Online Sync/the customer version)/office365. That does not have sync issues, etc.
