I don't think anyone is suggesting that smartphone ownership means you give up all hope of privacy.

You are trusting that your efforts to disable Siri and Cortana have actually resulted in them being disabled, and that Apple and Microsoft aren't doing nefarious things to keep them enabled anyway. If you trust that, I don't think it's a stretch to trust that Apple and MS would avoid doing nefarious things with a HomePod or [whatever MS's analogous device might be]. You seem to not want to have anything around that can record you without your express permission, so sure, I get why you don't have a HomePod.

I had an Amazon Echo for a while, but decided I didn't trust Amazon, and exchanged it for a Google Home. I have an Android phone with Google Assistant enabled, and I don't see the privacy implications as materially different between the two.
I've been pondering the same economics on car-, bike- and scooter- shares. I'd love to know if Car2Go's ridiculous little SMART cars were treated better or worse than their Benz replacements. I wonder if Lime's electric bikes get shoved off the pier less than Ofo's cheapest ones.

Yeah that's what a lot of the responses in this thread don't get or dismiss. These things could be run in a much more privacy protecting way but that comes with all sorts of configuration and setup headaches that most people don't want to deal with. And being able to access the devices from anywhere is a feature most people want even if it's only useful occasionally and a central API running all interactions means if it works while you're home it will work anywhere rather than it working while you're home then not working because something something DynDNS/NAT.

> It's almost impossible to be vigilant against someone grabbing your finger while sleeping

I believe most phones have a way to easily disable fingerprint or face unlock until the next time the pass code is entered.

For example, on recent iPhones, just hold both the power button and one of volume buttons down for a couple seconds, which brings up the screen for power off, medical ID, and emergency SOS. Hit cancel on that screen, and biometrics are disabled until you next enter the pass code.

It should be reasonably possible to be vigilant enough to do that before going to sleep.

This is too many words for such a simple discussion: should legacy code built with new compilers be forced to use an "implicit on" flag, or should all new code development risk forgetting implicit none once and have a bad week debugging their code?
I'm not preaching the elixir word here either. I've never used it for anything real and just dabbled a bit as a toy. I'm just trying to help get this conversation going because I'm also interested. My experience is in java, node, and python primarily which covers a good bit of ground as far as the different concurrency approaches.

Anyhow, your characterization there I don't think is quite right. For one Java does not typically use a background job set up, because it is a first-class multithreaded runtime so it seems more likely prepared to use a threadpool for some concurrent processing before it say tosses things out to a task queue. Similarly as most java web servers are on a thread pool model for concurrency as opposed to async IO, you'll also have true in request concurrency for things like making a few calls to the DB and then collecting them. This thread pool is not well abstracted typically, and the mutable object model leads you to writing classically tricky multithreaded code with data races and the like.

For something like node where you are not really likely to be using threads, you are pretty hard tied to async IO as your method of concurrency. So you have a really easy job if all you're doing is async calls to say a DB with no need for data processing. Here once you need real computation you will have essentially no option other than using a task queue.

Then when it comes to python you have essentially the worst of all worlds. it's not easy to do concurrent IO or computation without some form of background processing.

I believe that when it comes to the elixir runtime the idea is that they have removed async IO from the mix and instead put up a concurrency API that is as simple to manage as async IO in something like node. Under the covers is all delegating out simple blocking code to a thread/process pool, but the immutable data model and API makes it so that data is not shared across the pool, trying to keep the classic concurrent mistakes hard to make.

Nothing that can be done in elixir seem to be impossible or even astoundingly hard in some other technology, but the unified API for all forms of concurrency seem like a nice way to make it a runtime that can handle many different types of workloads in a simple and cohesive way. That simple way also seeming to not need you to bring in things like a redis task queue where you generally would need to use it or some other external solution.
I'm a huge fan of Peter Brown on youtube, I've been wanting to get into using epoxies for various projects, it's just that I live in a small apartment, I'm not sure where to start, and I know I'll need ventilation.

I'm biased towards 3D printing simply because I already have my own printer, so it's simply the fastest method for me (not including print time, but epoxies have to cure anyway).

Totally agree, and your comment compelled me to add a disclaimer to the top of my comment to discourage anyone from jumping into these based on the reported benefits without understanding the serious risks.

That being said, if people are going to try these, I'm glad that they are sharing their experiences online to both warn others of negative reactions and indicate promising avenues for further clinical research.

I would love to see a website that organizes clandestine research like this in a way that makes it more functionally useful - reddit and other forum testimonials are the best I've seen so far, and they leave a lot to be desired. This is something that I'd like to work on, but my biggest concerns are legal liability and how to screen out profit-motivated fake testimonials.

nope. end of the day there is a linear sequence of instructions being executed by any given part of the hardware.|

OO and FP are just higher-level ways of organizing source code that gets reduced to a linear sequence of instructions for any given hardware execution unit.
My objection really has nothing to do with the specific boxes. This is just fundamentally the wrong approach, as is demonstrated by the fact that every browser except IE essentially got a perfect score except for telemetry.

Do you see a site isolation checkbox there btw? Missing one of the most important exploit mitigation technologies for browsers today strongly suggests that whoever made this list was either incompetent or deliberately picking boxes that firefox ticks.

I'd assume that instead of having actual browser security experts build this list they had some amateurs attempt to build a list of existing security "features" in browsers, which isn't a sane approach at all and is bound to get results like this. A good checklist would almost certainly have lots of boxes nobody ticks.

It's because Haskell's type system at least helps you avoid getting the line noise wrong. If you have to refactor some complicated line noise then the compiler holds your hand.
Ambiguity is the key here. The system is set in a way that no matter where you are there are lines going just anywhere and once you are into it you will never miss any interesting spot. Also all the lines connect to each other, so I can start walking in one place and circle whole country.

Bonus point: whole system depends on volunteers who keep markings on all lines.
As a beginner, who has never touched Elixir, where should I start? My issue is tutorials NEVER have production quality code. How do know what my code structure looks like? How does linking works? If I/m using database, how can I use connection pooling. Stuff like that. I can look up the basics, but I have always struggled to learn how use X language in production. But I guess this is can applied to any programming language.
Agreed about the false positive, btw. It was just a hypothetical, but court cases ("beyond reasonable doubt") have a very high standard of proof.

Fair enough. Should have stopped at the sarcasm point. Sorry.

However, this is not my experience. When something bad happens in my situations, it's usually in response to a bad input that is going to be repeated a couple milliseconds later. So the app just crashes in loops.

I don't understand how the "let it crash" philosophy is supposed to happen when the only thing that can happen after a crash is... Another crash.
Maybe my case is just too strange.

Elixir can run concurrent background tasks without additional tooling. Can the technologies you mentioned do this (ie without setting up and maintaining a background job server, etc)? Ditto on pushing websockets. With Elixir, you don't need additional servers and caching for holding the the socket state (redis + node, etc). Hope that makes sense.

The photos of the cyclists and cars seem fairly analogous. Both are basically the vehicles sitting in gridlock, so very tightly packed. It's impossible for cars to move at any reasonable speed in that configuration. That said, the bikes photo might not be as crazy as it seems [1].

The advice about giving cyclists space only applies if you yourself are in a car. Cyclists can ride extremely close to other cyclists and remain totally safe. That photo of Copenhagen illustrates the point very clearly. This works if roads are cycle-first, which is a major rarity.

The bus complaint is valid, but not really relevant. Cars are only a problem in high traffic routes with a large need for passenger throughput. Buses on those routes tend to be well utilized. If you are living in a place that doesn't have that quantity of people passing through (more rural areas) then cars are totally fine. They likely shouldn't have used a full bus, and I acknowledge that this sort of photo isn't perfect, but the point they are trying to make is entirely valid.

The argument about uniform traffic speeds is mostly irrelevant for exactly the same reasons I listed above. With clear roads, there is no problem. The issue is that, in busy cities, clear roads are an impossibility, even in cities that were built with automobile traffic as the clear first priority for transportation.

In situations where car traffic is not a problem, it's not a problem! We can leave it alone. Automobiles are, and will remain for the foreseeable future, the only valid option for transit outside of urban areas.

The car free movement is fundamentally about cities (particularly city centers), where cars are inefficient, are expensive, are dangerous, use up in inordinate amount of space, and are a major contributor to pollution (which is a particularly large problem in such areas). In those sort of situations, there is simply a better way.

Yes, 14 days (nights), which is - as I phrased it - every other week.

I didn't claim any strong grammatical structure of 'bi', just consistency between biweekly and biannually, and that 'once per two weeks' was the meaning of a different word, as is 'once per two years'.

Don't get me wrong, it is a very complex set of complex issues depending on which pillar we attack. (Metabolism, Repair, Pathology). The latter is very expensive and too late in the game. That is what we attempt today with conventional medicine and it's just treating symptoms of aging. We barely understand human metabolism and the little bit we know is a auditorium wall sized flow chart. Repair is the new area and Aubrey is putting a lot of effort into that pillar. That is where funding would certainly help. Then there are legal and ethical issues we will eventually dive in to.

The difference is that the peptides are generated by chopping up larger proteins, while miniproteins are synthesised as short proteins. I.e. you need other enzymes to turn a protein into peptide, but a microprotein only needs to be translated to be short!

I agree, but at the same time there are also a lot of SFH owners who literally could not afford the property tax bill if they even significantly improved their homes, so you get ridiculous situations like entire neighborhoods in LA that are basically ghettos despite the tiny lots being worth close to half a mil each.

> Functional programming doesn't have state, so you don't need locks, so you can get better concurrency.

This is not true.

Many algorithms are intrinsically imperative (e.g., quicksort). You can represent it using some monads in Haskell to hide this, but in the end your code is still imperative; and if you want to parallelize it, you still have to think about synchronization.
Our hypothesis is that we should go super deep and focus on one technology before thinking about something else, and this is the mistake that other vendors are doing. We see msb doing deep dives in things like relational databases, elasticsearch and rxjs in the future, but doing it properly one step at a time
It depends on which roles the ex-Ubers were in and who they are paired with.

Ex-Uber engineers are probably just as good as ever. It's not like they were the ones tinkering with competition, business model, profitability, whatever.

Their task was to execute on engineering goals and Uber hires pretty good engineers to do that.
There are a lot of people in the comments that seem confused by the point of this article. I think if you have ever run a business (managing a team is not the same) then this article is clear as day.

Owners have infinite ways to allocate their time. Many owners feel problems in their gut but they are uncomfortable to deal with, and so instead they do other things (which are easy to rationalize as more important). E.g. firing someone, perhaps someone that was just hired two months ago who moved across the country to take the job but is not working out. Many people would come up with a hundred reasons to keep the person even if their gut is saying to fire them, because of how uncomfortable it would be to actually do it. This article is saying you need to run towards those moments of fear and discomfort and do the right thing, not run away from them and dig the hole deeper.
Or there's the actual middle ground of using Firefox and trying to get more information on why something is the way it is and understanding what's going when something looks wrong to you rather than making assumptions and using that to label people hypocrites.

If you know something, feel free to say so. Otherwise you're just one more person on the internet spreading FUD instead of knowledge about one more company. We have enough of that already, don't we?
Wait, they are saying this thing runs close to 200km/h. How is it possible that they couldn't come up with decent footage of it doing so?

I'm likely in the minority here, but as a product TurboTax hasn't really bothered me that much. It makes filling my taxes pretty easy, and saves most of the info year of year so I don't have to re-enter it. Compared to the thousands of dollars in taxes I've paid, the $100 or so turbo tax gets doesn't seem too bad.

My issue is with all this is pretty simple - I pay too much in tax, and/or the quality of government those taxes are buying is subpar at best. I also strongly suspect leaving the government in charge of comping up with a solution to filing taxes electronically would continue the trend of disappointment.

If my choice is between paying a private company a couple bucks to make my interaction with the government easier, or going back to the old paper way of doing things until the government gets its shit together.....well I'm going to stick with the former, unless I'm missing something here?
It's really disappointing to see this conflict seem to metastasize.
