Brexit to some Brexiteers means what they rather fancifully believe is the 'clean break' of no-deal. To some other Brexiteers, Brexit means continued membership of the customs union, but not the single market. No doubt that there are numerous other configurations of Brexit that various people thought they were voting for, including staying in the single market.

These different Brexits would result in very different futures for the UK, and yet they were all aggregated into one vote, 'Leave'.

There has yet to be any evidence that there is greater support from the public for any particular Brexit than there is to remain.

Once the VC money dries up, I think it's likely that drivers and passengers will still want an app to facilitate the transaction. I've seen it suggested before that such an app could allow both parties to negotiate the rate between them.

Does such an app already exist? If so, why isn't it more popular? If not, why not?
Wow, Apple brought back DOS. I guess the hipsters like their hoppy craft beers, hence the name IPA-DOS.

[Concetto R. Giuliano, 1981]

Concetto R. Giuliano, "Applications of optical phase conjugation," Physics Today, vol. 34, no. 4, pp. 27-35, Apr. 1981.

Abstract: Light waves that are, in effect, time-reversed images of their original can serve to restore severely aberrated waves to their original state.
This is a good point. My wife's company has a team consisting of a lawyer and 3 paralegals whose sole job is to review their marketing offers just to ensure they are in compliance.Every state has different rules.

Smaller company would need a smaller team but even a single salary on the books just to comply is a large expense for a small business. Multiply this by other areas now such as licensing, insurance, etc. Just ensuring your every day work is not breaking the law becomes financially prohibitive.
It could be a result of autocomplete. Entered/pasted once, auto-complete forever. In this anonymous person's defense, he might not know how to turn it off or change it. (With most browsers, it's buried down in a menu.) Meanwhile, just add KMart.com to your blocked domain list. that's 50% of the problem solved.

speaking of using others' numbers, I use 867-5309* for the shopper-loyalty-card number at every retailer that asks for one (in exchange for discounts). I think that dozens of others must use this number as well, as the supermarket receipt sometimes shows totals of $10,000-20,000 per week for "my" account.

*For those born after the 1980s, the song "Jenny (867-5309)" was a hit for the band Tommy TuTone and received significant airplay. It was a catchy tune, and the phone number was the chorus. As such, it's an easy number to remember.
Maybe I'll feel better if some other company releases a product that directly competes with Warp.

Let’s Not Wait Until November to Movember
At risk of prodding at a hornets' nest here, I'd like to raise a controversial question:

Mostly everyone here agrees (including myself), that human contribution to global warming is going to have severe consequences and the rapid impact on glaciers is an early and visible symptom of this problem.

However, I think most people also agree that the planet would be warming even without human involvement (albeit at a considerably slower pace). I don't know whether the glaciers would melt also during the natural warming of the planet, but I assume so given that there were periods in the geological history when it was much warmer in general and were no glaciers at these latitudes.

Yes it is sad that in one or two generations the glaciers will be gone, but glaciers will come back when the next ice age comes around. On the other hand, there are living organisms which could likely survive the natural and more gradual warming, but will be driven to extinction by specifically the human contribution. These species are not coming back, ever. Certainly not naturally.

So perhaps rather than ruminating about whether the next generation can look at large amounts of ice, we should concentrate on saving the parts of the ecosystem which once lost, cannot be recovered.
"this is not a sustainable, repeatable thing. It lives and dies on one relationship."

That can be quite sustainable; that one (or few) relationships can be long-lasting. If good managers leave and are replaced by bad managers, often quite soon team members will leave to join that manager in their new company - it's a well known fact that the direct manager matters more for job satisfaction than the particular company.

I know people who over the years have worked at 3-4 companies for the same boss (not continuously), and if I was unhappy at my current position, I remember a few previous managers whom I'd call to ask 'are you hiring?' and in the tech field the answer pretty much always is positive.
My gmail address isn't even firstnamelastname@gmail.com, but 3 initials repeated twice. Looks pretty cryptic, and still I get random mail for other people.

It's amazing how sloppy people can be with email addresses.

This is great! Maybe you should display that somewhere in the fine print. In my mind it reduces your legal risk quite a bit that you use free software instead of some draconian vendor software.

> It introduces a clever way to allow programmers to use vector intrinsics without the JVM having to understand them. But the programmer does have to use those intrinsics manually, there is no automatic vectorization.

Yep but that CLEVER WAY/LAYER can be very central to build higher-level API. So for a programmer point of view, who deals directly with higher-level (scala API as shown in example) dont have to bother about low-level intrinsics.

The fastest I can view and respond to information is maybe 2 times per second if I'm not really viewing anything. So I'd say 512ms makes more sense or maybe 256ms if you want it to "feel" snappier (assuming we are sticking to powers of 2 for some reason). Any higher is looking more for animation speed than usability speed.

> I'm not sure how to avoid answering these loaded questions though. In my experience trying to 'negotiate' with people like that: they will just ask you the same question in 5 different ways and it will eventually get so uncomfortable you'll tell them anything to move on.

Once you realize what's going on, you can turn that into a game.

Do you know the game where somebody asks you a bunch of questions, and they you allowed to answer with anything except "yes" or "no"? It's very hard to do, because it's such an ingrained habit.

If you really want to not give an estimate, make it a game to not give one.

But, give them something else instead. Work out a bunch of questions about uses cases / data volume / whatever, and say "if those were answered, we could build a prototype in a few days that would let us make a more reliable estimate" or something like that.

Another comment: coming up with good estimates is work. The other day somebody asked me if I could come up with a rough estimate for a (poorly specified, IMHO) project, and my answer was: no, I don't have time. If you need it anyway, formulate it as a task in Jira, so that it gets prioritized along with all my other work.

(Fun fact: we estimate our tasks in story points, so then we estimated how much time it would take us to come up with an estimate... :D )

How it often works:

Manager says I want an A that does B? How long?

Most of the time estimate is N days, actual is N +/- 20%.

Sometimes it's N days, and you get lucky it's N/3. Instead of credit, you now have a reputation of padding estimates.

Sometimes it's N days, and you go oops, and it's 10*N. Now you are a slow incompetent.

This is why estimation is such a no-win for developers.

For areas that come closer like construction, they have centuries of prior experience and often the contractors are big enough to push back.

To use the example of this article, go to a boatyard, and say I want to 150 foot yacht with a hot tub and a 20 seat theater, and my budget is $10,000. You would get laughed out of the office.
That's assuming there are mass migrations due to lack of food. Why can't they just adjust crops? We keep imagining agriculture as some sort of on-off switch - "We have crops, and then the global warming happens, and suddenly we no longer have crops". It doesn't work that way. We'll see production declines, maybe, but not sudden elimination of entire food supplies. And production declines can be dealt with intelligently - switching crops, altering harvest cycles, etc. Again, in the past century, humanity has handled a quadrupling of the population and wound up with more food surplus and lower food costs than at any point in history. And that's without whatever future the introduction of genetic engineering, internet-of-things, and other modern technologies bring to the table.

> I don’t think the article assumes an engineer can produce reliable estimates

Well, he sort of goes back and forth, but he includes this:

> The engineer comes back with this simplified description and says he can get a first version produced, but it will take a month instead of 2 weeks.

Which I see some variant of every time I see somebody rail against the unrealistic expectations of software estimation (which, by the way, I’ve been seeing people rail against since the late 80’s to no avail). The implication here is that if the manager had just listened to the developer and accepted his initial estimate of one month, the software would have been done in one month: the developer could estimate with precision, but the manager bumbled along and screwed everything up by trying to negotiate it down.

This is a dangerous position to take unless you’re absolutely sure about your one-month estimate: if you say one month, he says two weeks and you look him in the eye like the alpha wolf say, “no, one month, and no sooner”… you had damned well better be able to deliver in exactly one month. The reality is there’s probably no way to tell, _especially_ if other people are involved, so you’re better off shrugging your shoulders and saying, “yeah, sure, two weeks”, doing as much as you can, and preparing your story ahead of time.

Although Warp doesn't mask IP addresses, it should be useful for these two use cases:

1) Communicating with insecure websites (HTTP instead of HTTPS)

2) Using unsecured wireless networks (e.g. Wi-Fi at a coffee shop)

Beyond these two cases, is there any advantage to using Warp? Does Warp provide any benefits for email (secure IMAP/SMTP), file sharing (BitTorrent), or other protocols?

Thank you for your reply. I see that it's rather easy to do that for websites running behind CF as you terminate the traffic and can just set the corresponding header.

But for websites outside your network I don't see any obvious way how to do that. Wouldn't this being possible imply that it's possible to spoof traffic? That would open a whole can of worms for the web and even the internet at large.

But I also get your point that you don't want people to see WARP as a regular VPN to protect a users IP address from being exposed to the other side. Since it's not easy for a user to see which sites run behind CF and which ones don't while browsing they must keep this in mind. Or they can just firewall all CF IPs minus the ones used by WARP (assuming none are shared with other CF products and a list can be obtained).

I think a lot of the rhetoric in this article could also be applied to people who struggled in school early on due to an unknown mental health diagnosis, essentially internalizing that they’re either too stupid or lazy to succeed.

As someone who had great parents, but parents who denied mental health as an issue or excessively large tonsils as a trigger for sleep apnea and behavioral issues a lot in this article resonates. Especially given my experience finally seeking professional help after college and realizing that a lot of why I’d been struggling was because of ADHD likely caused by sleep apnea caused by my tonsils.

Seeing this drastic change in mood and my mental ability was life changing, but to this day sometimes I still catch myself re-itorating the words of my HS guidance counselor telling me I didn’t have the grades to study at an elite college or to be an engineer.
Interesting suggestion. It is sometimes said that Uber was started based on Kalanick's Randian free market ideas. And at a superficial level, it sorta looks free market - the price responds to supply and demand for instance. But interestingly, that price is being set by, effectively, a central planning process, not a free market. The soviet union didn't have the computing power to pull that off, but Uber does.

Of course, there is all of the regulatory capture and monopoly tactics which are also inconsistent with free markets, although perhaps not inconsistent with Objectivism (depending on your view).

A true free market version of uber would be interesting.

Multicast via satellite is comparatively cheap really. Especially for lower bitrate channels. Add into the mix regional opt outs (e.g. local news, local tv programs) and it's not _that_ bad an option.

Lots of other channels on Sky already use AdSmart. It's a bit weird to have obviously targeted advertising on UK wide channels (e.g. local car dealerships).

As a disclaimer - I used to work for the company who created the software Sky are using for AdSmart.
I love VLC and use it daily, literally daily. I often donate to open source projects and VLC is one of those.

One gripe though is that VLC gives a such a good impression that you get very disappointed when basic things like scanning your media library don't work. It catches you by surprise because the rest of VLC is so polished.

And for example the fact that there was no sleep timer until recently.

You'd think that an open source project so widely used would find plenty of help to implement such basic features.

I think the key difference is that the headline doesn't bait and switch you with the promise of some deeply-buried lede. You're reading it in the first place because you're interested in the author's firsthand experience.

I believe it's worthy to reflect on why and how this pretty much perfect, unconfirmed, and anecdotal story has been voted to the very top of yet another "white males are the real oppressed collective" submission written by an author that has recently published, among others, several pieces criticizing race inclusion in Harvard, defending Jordan Peterson as a "center-left to center-right" thinker and referring to the "the unbounded scope of his 19th-century intellectual ambition", or other illuminating, unbiased analyses such as "Is It OK to Be White?", "Is Feminist Lemonade Kosher?", "Microaggressions" ("I hated the sound of that brutal academic neologism"), or "My Favorite Anti-Semite".
They sell every functionality as an aditional "license" or "plugin".

So, for example, it's not unusual that, by default, your half a million USD scanner, that includes a powerful workstation to control it (the one the technician uses behind the window) will only let you write CDs (for example, to give your patient a copy of his/her scan) if you pay an additional "CD Writing license"

Now, with PACS and centralization that have changed a bit, but still...
