Do you realize that's the opposite direction of this? In that case you SEND something to a chat app, but this app can RECEIVE data from a web service. Way simpler architecture.
He exposed illegal actions by the government, and as far as i know there hasn't been a trial for that, just a flurry of laws passed to justify what was done after the fact.

What can you do, when the institution you should report illegal acts to, is the one perpetrating them?
You can have multiple hostnames per IP. (i.e. If you are using a site that uses cloudflare)

That fact will make it very difficult to resolve hostname to ip address for anyone behind a CDN. That is the reason Comcast is fighting it.
Yep and that is why used gas car prices are going to be in a free fall very soon.

>The big difference between slack and Telegram is that Slack can easily give my data to the administrator at work if they ask for it.

Sure, that's perfectly fair. With Slack you have to trust Slack and the admins of your workspace (which could very well be you!), with Telegram you have to trust Telegram but don't get workspaces.

The Quantum Computer Explained Using the Multiverse
Of course! I'm actively trying to standardize data extraction APIs, so I'm always happy to spread the good word. :)

1. The API should expose parameters for incrementally retrieving data by, at the very least, the date the record was created, the date the record was updated, and by a monotonic increasing value. The API should also expose parameters for sorting data by, again, at least the three fields mentioned earlier. These parameters should be consistent across _every_ endpoint.

2. Every record in the system should have a unique identifier. For instance, in Shopify, each record in order.tax_lines should have a unique identifier. Since they do not, you have to create a composite key of the order_id and its index, or take a hash from some set of values in the record.

3. Every entity in the system should be retrievable by the parameters exposed in rule #1. To get nested entities, many APIs require you fetch the "parent" entity, and then make a separate API call for each record to get child entity. For instance /customers might return 200 records, and then for each customer, you have to call /customer/{{customer_id}}/payment_sources. So you now have to make 201 requests to get all customers' payment_sources, when there should just be a /customer_payment_sources endpoint.

4. The API should implement a leaky bucket algorithm with known and documented rules, allowing for the caller to configure an exponential backoff that is optimized for that API. The API should have a maximum limit of time (e.g. 5 minutes) after which no requests are made that the API completely resets the bucket.

Smaller issues, but still annoying:

* represent _all_ timestamps in a common format (I think yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss is best. I do not like unix timestamps since you cannot easily programmatically tell if it is a timestamp or just a large integer).

* return results in JSON (still lots of XML being tossed around)

* keep a change log that can be programmatically checked. We spend hours a week checking APIs to see if things have changed.

One last thought: Webhooks are becoming standard for many APIs, which is great. However, Webhooks only expose data going forward. Many businesses build of years of valuable in the origin system that cannot be retreived without a proper extraction API. Those should be built first, then webhooks (imo).

We've built some pretty awesome code to allow us to retrieve data from virtually anywhere, but if companies would just follow the rules above, it would be 10-100x easier for everybody involved.
VSCode isn't there yet for Python refactoring - I still find myself needing to find and replace to get everything when I rename a symbol or move a package (breaking imports). I should never have to do that.

Pycharm refactors Python flawlessly.

I would love to be exclusively in VSCode because of its configurability & overall snappiness but it's just not there for Python

> You are the one making those claims as otherwise it weakens the iOS über all assertion.

Nonsense.

> N95 was just one example of the millions of Symbian, J2ME and PocketPC/WindowsCE smartphones being shipped before iOS became reality.

And none of them are around now. More to the point, all but a handful could be considered 'smart'. We could debate what smart is, but ultimately it's moot. Pre 2007, 'smart' devices were by and large business oriented, post September 2007, they started to become the norm; first with iOS, closely followed by Android. These facts are incontrovertible.

The point you are trying to make is utterly wrong. The original assertion was that Apple 'invented' the smartphone is equally wrong. However, Apple did play a significant role in defining what a smartphone is, Nokia and Symbian not so much. The proof? Where are they now?

> Nokia's revenue only collapsed due to the way Elop drove the company to the ground as means to get the bonus on his contract. As the Finn press later discovered.

Elop merely dealt the final blow. Nokia's sales declined post 2008 when they peaked with a global share of ~40%. Elop Joined late 2010...

This is vaporware. VW are stuck. They are not able to innovate. VW EVs are always tomorrow, whereas actual manufacturers do deliver EVs now : Nissan and Renault besides Tesla.
To add to this: it's not just computational complexity, but it's also about safety. There is a human review process for every element of the map, which enforces a level of quality and safety that is extremely difficult to ensure from a fully on-the-fly system.
I think there are probably three things I want to follow up on:

1. I do not believe sexual dimorphism is necessarily irrelevant here. I do believe that any subgroup analysis is a researcher degree of freedom and an avenue for p-hacking or fishing. Ideally subgroups would be well specified in advance: particularly the expectation of an effect in male rats and a null in female rats. Given that this did not happen, I would expect in-text justification for the subgroup analysis. I assume there are many brain development processes which are sexually dimorphic, and many which are not. To trust the study I need to know that this is one such case without reference to the study's results. Your end-of-post comment suggests that dimorphism is valid to explore, but the dimorphism should favour effects in the opposite direction, which causes me to further doubt this study's results (in this statement only I am introducing a Bayesian notion of belief)

2. By "low a priori power" I mean that the number of units they chose would typically not be well-powered for modest effects in the subgroup. I am not talking about anything Bayesian. If I knew nothing about this subject, but picked a modest effect size on the quantity of interest and did a power analysis, I would find the study is well under 80% powered to detect the effect. That the effect was detected in the actual study should not lead us to say "wow, if it was underpowered but still detected, the effect must be huge", it should lead us to say "wow, this effect is very sensitive to any kind of confounding". This raises additional study integrity concerns and replicability concerns.

3. There are different points of view about multiple comparison adjustment. In the absence of pre-registration, I am inclined to believe that even closely related hypotheses that are all well justified theoretically should be adjusted for multiple comparisons. The authors report some null results and some significant results, and we are made to infer the null results are true nulls and the significant results are truly significant. The error rate for that joint set of inferences is much higher than the nominal error rate.

To reiterate, my concerns here are exacerbated by the fact that this is a topic likely to get public traction, and which speaks directly to political agendas on both sides of the marijuana policy aisle.

I have limited interest in following up on the neuroscience/biology stuff, since that is not my field. I want to speak only to responsible scientific practice. If neuroscience routinely publishes these kinds low-power multiple-comparison subgroup-analyses, I suspect there will be a replicability crisis in the near future.

If they had said that, Neumann would have just continued to nuke the company until SoftBank's remaining $8 billion of equity in the company went to $0. SoftBank paid him off to prevent him from further destroying the company.
Will also be driven by demand. EVs are already cheaper to operate. If they are also cheaper to produce and support, then the alternative is not competitive.

The result is then just delayed by historic capital and reallocation.
You can write safe code in C++, but it requires you to go way out of your way and exercise constant vigilance, and it's not always obvious when you mess it up. This is the approach we've been trying for 20 years, and it generally hasn't worked well, because people are both flawed and lazy. This is the thing that's fundamentally different about Rust — it provides strong guarantees by default and requires you to specifically call it out when you're doing something potentially unsafe, so to some degree it turns our laziness into a force for good.
Ah. Well, I consider them an investment. It's either buy old computers now or new computers later (or do without, but that's not really a viable option in today's world).

Stacks Tokens Available This Week on Binance, Hashkey Pro
A system that runs smoothly on 2006 hardware runs blazingly fast on modern hardware. It's also likely to consume less resources and power.

There's also the fact that many developers live in rich countries where good hardware is relatively cheap and easy to come by. Developing countries usually don't have access to reasonably priced hardware at all. There's billions of people whose hardware is barely capable of running a Vista equivalent. That alone should be reason to consider developing with older systems in mind.

Developing to keep an old system somewhat smooth can lead to improvements across the board. There's pros and cons to every decision and I certainly don't think every piece of software should be designed to run on a Core2Duo. In many cases some considerations for those who can't bug fancy hardware would be nice though.

There’s probably more but the singular best use-case I’ve found for embedding a struct is when you want a mutex.

That is elegant.

This example looks nice, but I think the naming of the structure and interfaces makes it hard to follow and a cache doesn’t necessarily benefit from it. In fact, it’s worse if your cache isn’t in-memory, and you’re not sharing an instance or a connection pool. If you are, this is just indirection and you can live with `Cache.get` just as well.

DNS encryption is going to be one of the big boondoggles of the 21st century internet.

I am currently going through a project at work to certify all the applications which need a custom root CA cert added to them, for their traffic to be inspected. This is part of GDPR certification. This is not some nefarious project to spy on employees, or even a DLP initiative. To comply with GDPR, we have to know where PII comes and goes, and over 80% of that data goes over HTTPS. That means that for any company to be able to comply with GDPR, they have to inspect all HTTPS traffic.

Now, could TLS clients provide a mechanism to export all decrypted traffic, separate from the validation path? Sure. But that's not a part of the TLS spec, so to my knowledge, TLS libraries just don't have that option, and all the applications I know of certainly don't expose it. So even though to provide for the above requirements, all we need is a read-only tap of the decrypted content, it wasn't required (or possibly even considered), so now we need read-write access to all content, which is in no way what the requirements were intended for.

That's bad, but what's worse is this process is introducing dozens of bugs. In many cases, the proprietary content filters are actually failing to validate correctly, and proxying payloads from hosts with invalid certs to unsuspecting clients. Not only do we have to MITM everything, but we're making security worse, and breaking apps. Take all of these considerations, and now instead of it being HTTP content, it's DNS.

From an internet privacy perspective, there are only so many hostnames and IPs on the internet. Regardless of how you encrypt it, if you can observe hundreds of millions of individual users' traffic, it will be trivial to discover what DNS records a connection is requesting by statistical analysis. I agree with making the data integrity immutable, but that doesn't mean we have to force it all to also be private, not to mention breaking the distributed, decentralized design that made DNS resilient to begin with.
It doesn't matter, a Trans Man is still a Biological Woman.
Also the example PHP code doesn't validate the age of the passed timestamp so you could just replay a "signature" indefinitely...

Given that, you might as well just use an unchanging token or Basic Auth. Assuming https, that wouldn't be terrible for this kind of use case. But put it in an Authorization header, not in a query parameter, so it doesn't end up in logs.

Perhaps "clear" isn't the right word. Sometimes when someone is spouting total nonsense I initially assume that I didn't understand them clearly because obviously no educated, articulate person could actually be that stupid. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt, right? But no, in Bostrom's case it's total unsupported bullshit all the way down regardless of whether he's talking about AGI / singularity / simulations / etc. A complete and utter waste of time. It's disappointing that he's managed to con so many otherwise intelligent people into taking him seriously and buying his books.
It's not entirely bad, not everywhere —some countries are quite advanced in that regard, notably in Europe. However I'm evoking a deeper system; i.e. creating the "software information system of states", automating the hell out of it, building some Amazon-like octopus of goodness at the service of everything public = property of all citizens.

Relevant buzzwords: State as an Open-source Service (StaaOS)

I share your concerns for gov efficiency; a common reasonable idea seems to make a "hybrid institution" e.g. create an independent agency run by citizens, with a governance model a la NGO / not-for-profit.

An ideal management, imho, would involve various 'captains' of the tech industry (I'd say there's a pool of at least 10,000 people fitting that bill on earth today, i.e. ~1 per mil., and I'm possibly low-balling it by orders of magnitude). The structure should definitely be mission-driven (probably architected much like a business). Several countries enjoy great success (in quality, cost, etc.) with such types of agencies.

You could go back even further. A bridge collapse was made possible by the building of a bridge. So you could go back to the moment when the do-nothing alternative (cost: $0) was rejected in favor of building a bridge. Well why was that decision made? Let's keep going back. This is where you start running into certain pachyderms in the room. The problem being solved with a bridge, is the existence of 8th Street, a soul- and flesh-destroying 8-lane traffic monstrosity that apparently is sufficiently inconvenient, intimidating and dangerous for human beings to cross unassisted, that a bridge starts to look like a good idea. Seems like the people who allowed 8th St. to happen deserve some of the blame, namely backward-thinking urban "planners" who think it's still 1950, haven't heard of (lalala I can't hear you) induced demand, peak oil or climate change, and who have collectively been sold a bill of goods, and who don't have the imagination to think up any ways of creating "economic activity" in the town that don't destroy the town. This species unfortunately infests the entire continent and kills 35,000 people a year, so I don't expect them to lose sleep over these 6.
