Wow, you just blew my mind, thanks. So what is "true" 4G here? Is it LTE-A? Or does it not even exist? All this time I used to think the "fake" 4G (3.9G?) was HSPA and the "real" one was LTE and that LTE-A went beyond that, but now I'm not sure what's what anymore!
Boy oh boy. Does it ever actually work that way? I feel like the reality is, they promote you when you've already been doing the new job for months, maybe years. Or maybe they just never do.
Since the technology name rang a bell (pun unintended) it should be noted that the old GNU Ring softphone (now called Jami) is a privacy sensitive decentralized Skype-Like software which has absolutely nothing to do with this thing.

We are looking at alternative solutions. But, at this point, Stripe will probably add new countries faster than we can add a new payment processor.

Some developers have set up contracting entities in Estonia or the USA to get access to Stripe, too.

Where are you based?
I don't get it. Seems like a lot of overhead.
OK... that was quick!
> What I meant was that our datastores are simple key-value stores at the moment.

And if you go down the route of trying to expand that, then you are no longer a tool for easily building APIs, you are now a database tool also ... and before you know it you are trying to replicate features that RDBMs have had for 40 years. I wouldn't envy trying to have to implement ACID transactions.

I realize it seems like this is hyperbole but have you drawn a fine line in the sand at where the features for Dark end? Because if not you will quickly paint yourself into a corner with this.

> Take the iPhone X, launched 2 years ago, used it's around $570 today, versus the $999 it launched at.
> Meanwhile, a $300 phone tends to drop down to $100 on the 2nd hand market two years later.

This means the iPhone X still had more than twice the effective cost ($429) than the other phone ($200). So it depends on whether the user thinks that it’s more than twice as useful.
That's fair, but the article pointed out that some (most) of the kids were on their devices 5-7 hours a day. That doesn't seem like moderation to me, and I really doubt screen time has the same benefits as reading.
Despite I love to hack this kind of things, I really hope automakers will enable verified boot / secure boot / trustzone (or whatever the silicon provides). Having someone to remotely install malware on an ECU is scary.

No, I was definitely talking about Trump, if that's who you mean. I added the 2nd sentence after the first, because Trump does support some gun control. He's banned bump stocks, increased prosecution of firearm offenses, and he's strengthened the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
>I think that a nation could in theory have open borders and prosper, but the trade-offs would have to be such that only like-minded people who can fit in and succeed would have an incentive to immigrate.

You have no control over who comes in when you build a system that requires like minded people.

It makes it just as easy for people completely against those like minds to come in, in any number, and vote with equal voice.

If you have a successful nation/economy, people will want to come whether like minded or not.

>This means that their children's voices would be saying the same thing as your children's, but there would be e.g. no help for the poor since that would attract enough free riders to kill the goose.

The Cartels would take over the the southern united states in a hurry. It would turn the "border" into a series of criminal empires even beyond what exists now. Asian and other gangs would experience massive surges as they import members from overseas.

Insane policies that have no connection to reality and assume there are no bad people.

>no help for the poor since that would attract enough free riders to kill the goose.

while I agree that you cannot incentivize "free riders", I don't think your system is viable with open borders either way.

You will be conquered and you will have no national unity because everyone will bring with them their own ideals and concepts, regardless of your belief that only people who agree with you will come.

And it will be a massive betrayal of your citizens to give away their future to anyone who walks in, all in a massive
self sabotaging effort of malignant empathy.
You've got a kind of made up definition of 'proper'. Java has generics, they don't have the best implementation of it I've seen, but I wouldn't call it 'improper'. It's just not a word that has any specific meaning in this context.

I seem to remember an article being written a while ago that found Java's type system, with the addition of generics, was unsound. Maybe that's what you're trying to say.
That first sentence took me a little while to wrap my head around and I don't think it's true or logical. In other words, even if it was true, I don't see why it matters.

I'm building a company that plans to charge people to read things. The reading experience, without ads, is superior. It's worth paying for. That means that an ad free future is possible.

> "Pseudoaddiction" is deliberately defined such that it's indistinguishable from actual addiction.

The point of the article is that it's the other way around -- addiction is defined in a way that includes plenty of non-addicts. It's like the old D.A.R.E. pamphlets that tell you to watch out for teens who are sullen, sleep late, distrust authority, etc.
This is some really good writing style. I couldn't really relate to the character and the story, but I still really enjoyed reading every single word of it.

Yes, and that would be accounting for the wrong thing. Battery life can be stretched out with user hostile things like lowering the brightness to two-digit nits and disabling all background tasks, none of which really help gauge the efficiency.

In fact, what mobile device manufacturers have learned is that the best way to save power is to ramp up power to complete a non-IO task in as little time as possible then go back to a lower TDP as that is where peak efficiency (rather than minimal consumption) lies.
> currently swung too-heavily towards prescribing opioids

Ah, you would have been right about 10-15 years ago. Things have dramatically changed since then. I'm assuming you've not had any contact with the medical system requiring opiates for you or your relatives in recent years. Now, we've swung far, far too far to the other extreme, to the point that my WWII vet, community leader, church deacon grandfather was brutally undertreated for pain while he was dying of cancer. This is very typical now.

Either that, or the medical system is very different in Silicon Valley or wherever you live.
>> What argument could there possibly be that Iran is “worse” than S.A.? As bad as things like human rights are in Iran, they are far worse in SA.

Its quite easy to make an argument that the Iranian regime is worse than Saudi Arabia. Iran has killed far more dissidents than Saudi Arabia ever has. For gosh sakes, Iran killed thousands of dissidents in the span of a couple months with the confirmed death toll at a low end of 4,500. Saudi Arabia has never done anything like this, and in fact, Saudi Arabian policy has always fluctuated between crackdowns and trying to accommodate islamist elements by being willing to show leniency; even making decisions to let prisoners go free en masse over several periods. Iran has always had zero tolerance for dissident elements whatsoever. Iran's leaders believe, after all, that the revolution is under constant threat from both internal and external enemies. This isn't to 'defend' saudi arabia and its security services but only to point out a difference that is essentially unknown to the general public.

At the very least, Iran's economic performance has been catastrophic even before the sanctions imposed over its nuclear program. The goal of an oil rich state should be to pump as much oil as possible to the broadest possible market. By this standard, Iran has been the worst performer in the middle east aside from countries at war and its populace is significantly poorer under the current regime than it would be otherwise.

The same thinking influences their foreign policy. Iran takes actions fundamentally destabilizing within the broader middle east because it believes the current state system poses an existential threat to it. Saudi Arabia doesn't believe this at all. Trying to reconcile islamist elements with a broadly pro-western foreign policy has been the modus operandi of saudi leaders since the cold war. You may take Iran's side but that doesn't mean their policy interests are somehow compatible with a nation state interested in preserving the status quo.
> but for most user-facing applications that tend to have complex object lifetimes, I just can't see why you'd want to deal with RIAA when modern GC's are so darn good.

My day job is ~half c++ and ~half c#, and I couldn't possibly disagree more.

The first problem is IDisposable and event handlers. Because c# doesn't have anything like weak pointers, event handlers require that you manually dispose of half your objects. In c, there's a simple rule: you always dispose of your objects. In c++, there's a simple rule: the destructor of your data structure/smart pointer always disposes of your objects. In c#, the rule isn't simple. Half the time, you have nontrivial destructor doing nontrivial things, the other half the time you can leave it up to the GC. But it isn't necessarily immediately clear which is which.

The second is `using`. Again, you must necessarily mix the semantics of non-deterministic GC cleanup and deterministic RAII cleanup. Which is worse than having a simple rule that always works.

Fuck those doctors. They should have their medical license revoked for being fucking stupid and gullible.

Maybe right now, if the funds are there. But what about in the future, where revenue is required to keep it alive?

These comparisons to Amazon are unfounded, because Amazon is not going to create a blog post one day alerting their customers that AWS is shutting down. AWS was built because Amazon needs it, and people knew that when they signed up. It's not going anywhere.
Honest question: which societies are considered "pro intellectual"?
When you tell an app you explicitly don’t want to share your location with it and they do something like this, how can you say that is anything other than a gross breach of trust? Someone deserves jail time.

This also says so much about the culture at Facebook. They clearly don’t have any respect for their users, principles, or limits. I’d personally think twice about hiring someone from Facebook.
This research simply says that the children of the age group studied are not hurt by screen time in one particular aspect -- mental health. To draw the conclusion that we should stop worrying about screen time because a single study failed to find an effect in this specific case is a bit of a leap.

I think there's a massive difference between screen time between the ages of 10 and 14, and screen time under the age of 5, when a child's brain is developing very rapidly. And what I worry about most is consequences like ADHD and decreased attention span.
I think what she means is remarkable as in unusual, not as in worth commenting on. The fiancé was a man she had spent years of her life dating, courting, evaluating, and before that whom she had met through mutual friends. Jeff was some guy on a bird-watching trip that she joined on essentially a whim. The whole essay is, in a sense, a large remark on Jeff (and Lindsay), but the remark is precisely how natural it was for them to do what they did, how they aren't people who are impossible to find.
It's true, just confirmed.
Shades of Tocqueville[1] who wrote about the dangers of anti-intellectualism in America even earlier.

For instance, Kaledin says, to an extent greater than is usually emphasized, Tocqueville thought “populism would gradually lead to an anti-intellectual culture and to mediocrity in political leadership.”

I don't think you could come up with a better summary than "mediocrity in political leadership" to describe the current climate.

Hopefully (but unlikely) Spencer talked to lawyers first, as his token would be a textbook example of a security, and this sale would appear to be a public offering as defined by securities laws and regulations.

>It's worth paying for.

Given the current state of the web and the struggle that many media companies are having, I don't think we can take this for granted today.

Fingers crossed that you and experiences like Mozilla's proposed can change this.
But the link doesn't actually say that. It is also talking about market cap. From the Financial Times article:

> The stock has climbed more than 150 per cent since the beginning of 2019, making Shopify more valuable than well-known internet companies including Twitter, Square and Spotify. Its market capitalisation — now more than $40bn — surpassed that of ecommerce pioneer eBay earlier this year.

It's all rather silly, it's sort of like saying Square is the second largest seller of coffee because a lot of coffee shops transact with it. AWS also hosts a ton of other eCommerce infrastructure, we have to include all sales made using AWS if you want this sort of comparison. It's a bunch of nonsense.

tl;dr If you sell shovels you can't claim you're one of the world's biggest miners.

I agree. The prefix "pseudo" implies that there is some normal behavior (addiction) and faked behavior (pseudoaddiction). But it's the other way around. Wanting medication for legitimate reasons should be the normal behavior and faking it (addiction) the pseudo behavior.
It depends on how you define "Intellectual". If I define it as one with great knowledge of how to gain wealth then I would say the US is very pro Intellectual. I'm sure there are some people that think you have to be published in one of those journals whos results more often than not can't be replicated, to be considered intellectual, however. The definition of the word is up for interpretation.
I just wish they'd bring the "Ships and sold by amazon.com" checkbox back.

Just emailed you - but happy to provide some advice! It takes skills beyond code, such as positioning, writing, and sales to successfully close freelance gigs. We're averaging a little over $100/hr on Moonlight gigs.

Freelancing is a numbers game - you need to have a funnel of work in order to keep a stable income. We try to screen out bad clients as much as possible on Moonlight, but you'll run into them and need to know when to just say no. It's the same challenges most small businesses have anywhere in the world.

Finally, if you want to get philosophical, Gresham's Law in economics is really illustrated here - "bad money drives out good". Basically, the people who are trying to pay below-market are constantly looking for workers. People who pay fair wages are not having turnover, so not hiring as often. It's just something to keep in mind - that the cross-section of people looking to hire does not accurately represent the transactions of the overall industry.
I'll recommend this as well. Another great book in the "company exploding in a case of massive fraud" genre is Billion Dollar Whale by Tom Wright and Bradley Hope, which goes into the 1MDB scandal.
Thanks for the support! Let us know if you have any feedback.
I dont really know how to change the economics of the web without changing the laws around financial transactions. The various anti money laundering laws and anti terrorism laws make it basically impossible to transact money without significant compliance costs. And if the transactions are to be small and decentralized those compliance costs become prohibitive.
You may think it's worth paying for, but your average consume will not. It makes sense from a consumer point of view, how am I to know if this "superior" experience is worth my money if I haven't tried it. How do I know it will stay that way, lots of magazines and newspapers quality tanked after they got high subscription numbers.
Each rotor implements a permutation of its input terminals. So maybe more like a p-box, but the difference is significant (only two wires in use at a any time, and one is in "reverse") so probably just thinking of it as a permutation is better.

Dianne Feinstein is a good example; I only know about this from living in Berkeley for 20 years, and hearing about her corruption as it relates to her husband's real estate business (which impacted a lot of Berkeley landmarks).

The claims are reality. American politics is absurdly, laughably corrupt and has been for a long time. I've said this for years: everything we accuse the Russians (our evil doppelgangers) of has been true here for a long, long time.

Suppose the minimum amount to make this make sense is worth 1 cent over 4 seconds of running the proof of work. Then this proof of work would earn 24 hours/day * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute / 4 cents/second / 100 cents/dollar = $216/day. But any proof of work system that can earn $216/day would make far more sense to run dedicated miners for instead of running miscellaneous computers on.

In my experience, you never get that outside of the town centre. 10mbps cap in the suburb on 4G.

Anyway, this doesn't really highlight how good our 4G is, it highlights how poor our interconnected fibre network is. It's a bloody multi-generational disaster, a train wreck salvaged. And the price of it all lands on the consumers.

For example, I'm on cable, and life is good. When I get migrated (by force) to fibre, I will have less bandwidth and pay more. It's also wildly known at the moment to have constant drop outs. YAY the future.

And remote areas are put on Satellite, they were never going to run fibre to the home.
To add to your argument, “addiction” is not a cause of death, it is a risk factor for various unnatural causes such as suicide and overdose. The same could be said for chronic pain, but it is pretty easy to understand why chronic, untreated pain would lead to suicide. The connection between addiction and suicide is much more complex, and may have more to do with the reality of being an addict in modern society than the medical consequences of the addiction itself.

This is pointlessly dismissive. Is it somehow weird to think that a language you use and think about 8 hours a day, 5 days a week will significantly affect your general happiness?

I'm beginning to lean toward the camp of Rust replacing Python, too--and I've been using Python since 1996-ish. My primary limitation in Rust is the state of the libraries--Python libraries and frameworks are simply a LOT more stable in general.

The first question is "What does Python do better than Rust?" Libraries/frameworks is the big one--there is no excellent Django-equivalent or Jupyter notebook-equivalent, for example (maybe there never will be by virtue of the language differences, but it is what it is). Python helper scripts generally ship in .py form so you can fix bugs in crappy Python scripts (if people start shipping Rust auxiliary scripts that's going to be a step backwards). Verbosity--okay, I'll concede that if I want things to be mostly GC, I'm writing a lot of extra wording in Rust.

And when I reverse the question: "What does Rust do better than Python?" The answer is a whole lot. Strong typing is a big one--because of Rust doing okay type inference I don't wind up with types repeated very often--it feels more like Python. Performance, sure, but I rarely care. Tooling seems to be a bit better--and Rust seems to be targeting to be a first class citizen on Windows. And, of course, concurrency--Python should have just sucked it up, taken the performance hit in 3.0 to remove the GIL and then optimized performance back over 7 versions (Good concurrency is becoming a standard in languages--I suspect Python is eventually going to concede this or start losing mindshare--and the pain would have been best suffered back at 3.0).

Yes, there are issues. If you have a doubly-linked anything in Rust, you're about to have a bad time (or not, if you REALLY need double-linkage--it's time to quit being pedantic, to break out "unsafe" and to encapsulate things). If you're writing a library, your lifetime annotations look like 300 baud line noise.

I really learn a new language about every 10 years or so--I have to feel a significant upside without a lot of downside in order to move (my last big change was Perl->Python in about 1996--my history of languages that I knew cold is assembly->C(with a C++ excursion for a bit--I got better)->Perl->Python). At this point, for one-off things that I'm writing a quick 100 lines, I'm starting to reach for Rust more and more and Python less and less.
