The VT100 actually supported both 132 characters and 80 characters per line, in a 9 x 10 and a 10 x 10 character matrix, respectively.

(The character matrix in ROM is just 8 x 10, but pixels are stretched horizontally before being displayed. The limiting factor here isn't resolution, but the signal response of the screen phosphor and the circuits involved in its activation. Therefor the horizontal pixel stretch in order to allow the phosphor to reach its maximum activation level. In fact, a monochrome CRT has just an even phosphor coating and there isn't such a thing as hardware pixels or a native resolution. However, if activation phases are too short to allow the phosphor to gain a suitable activation, the display will be dim in those regions and overall unbalanced in brightness.)

There would be NDAs and lawyers and dire warnings of secrecy until we finally got to the bottom of what they wanted. Basically Facebook or Google, but on a budget of about 50p and the vague offer of some stock.

Unsurprisingly, we’d tell them where to go.

Personally, by living in a large city I'm giving up the ability to own a home in exchange for access to niche resources such as ethnic enclaves, bohemian artist communities, cultural events, groups dedicated to uncommon hobbies, etc. Just having trendy restaurants and coffee shops wouldn't do it for me.
>Let me draw the bottom line. 10 weeks are spent to create and test 3 different hypotheses.

10 weeks are a little more than two months. That's nothing, wouldn't even be enough to build something good enough, much less to test it, and even less to test it 3 times.

So let me rephrase: "Only 10 weeks are spent to create a minimal product, and shallow barely-test 3 different hypotheses before giving up".

It can take years (plural) for such a service to pick up.

You can quickly test, of course, but don't expect this "10 whole weeks" of testing to tell you anything insightful...

Fair, I think it would be very helpful for Rust if some expert actually knows of a specific example for which this is the case. I think there is an RFC about enabling floating-point contraction by default, that would "silently" be able to do some of these transformations depending on the optimization level.

Populism is here to stay (both of the left kind and of the right kind), until the root cause is addressed: income inequality. It's reprehensible to have life expectancy decreased in a first world country. In fact, because this is happening perhaps we should contend with the fact that America may be, as of recently, a third world country? There's a reason why Ray Dalio, the most successful hedge fund manager of all times calls this problem "a national emergency" that may be "an existential risk to United States".
You connect your own Stripe account - so whatever fees are there are specific to your setup. They vary widely based on your country, the customer's country, currency and volume. The main difference with Ghost is that there are no additional platform transaction fees - which there usually are with every other product in this space (generally another +5% - +10%. Hope that helps to clarify!
Rust references should in general optimize better because they give stronger aliasing guarantees.

Even for slices, using get_unchecked(1..) to get a smaller subslice without bounds checking might be better than pointer arithmetic as long as the slice lengths get optimized away (i.e. they are never used and never passed to non-inlined functions).

Google Dorks an Easy Way of Hacking
This is hilarious. Ten weeks.

Ten weeks?

To build a community?

To build a base of dedicated users and begin to reap the network effect that keeps existing users on the site, and draws in new years?

In the early 2000s, I launched something like an early "social networking" site for geek dating.

We built a strong community and actually were pretty profitable with direct subscriber revenue, though it was never quite enough to quit my day job and I eventually (reluctantly) moved on because of other things happening in my life.

Anyway, we were open for THREE YEARS before I charged a dime.

That's how long it took me to build a community.

I focused on community building/management while I built out the site's functionality. This was very active, hands-on community management on my part. Now, three years is a long time. Maybe somebody could do it in less time. Especially if you had a partner or a team.... I was a lone wolf who was also working some consulting gigs to pay bills.

Maybe it doesn't need to be 3 years, but 10 weeks is beyond a joke.

Derealization/depersonalization (known as DPDR) is a defense mechanism against painful sensory input - typically fear and/or anxiety. You brain sort of attenuates the external world and goes inside itself like a turtle that thinks it’s in danger. The state normally occurs in response to dangerous or traumatic situations (you often hear about out of body experiences in these situations), but particularly traumatic experiences (often from hallucinogens, abuse, war, etc) can cause a sort of sensitization that makes DPDR chronic.
Or you know, someone who doesn't share your living standards.

$1900 is "stupid money" (as in hella expensive) for 1/3rd of the world's population. For some, it's more than they make in a year -- and yes, those places still have digital entrepreneurs.

And even in more economically advanced countries, $1900 can still be a lot for many demographics, even in the US, for e.g. a student or someone barely making the rent.
Pain relief induced by pleasure and physical dependence - constipation too. I am almost off morphine. 15mg a day now.

What a timely post. Sitting in Keflavik airport now, waiting to fly back home.

A thing to keep in mind is that it was an explicit effort on Iceland's part to position itself as a prime tourist destination. After 2008 banking crisis they were in a severe bend and looked for ways out of it. Hence the push for the tourism. Then that volcano erupted. On one hand it all but killed nascent tourism flow, but on the other hand it actually broadcasted Iceland as a land of volcanoes and natural beauty. And the tourist tsunami started.

Be careful what you wish for I guess.

Tourism industry sucked in so many locals that there's now shortage of police force and doctors, because they pay less. But from the visitor's perspective the country now is as comfortable of the destination as it gets.

We did ~3000 km. Main roads are very good. The speed limit is 90kmh, which seems low, but go any faster and you will feel wind gusts starting to throw the car around. Gas stations are there when you need hen. As are hotels and restaurants. Many farms now have cafes or eateries, invariably with unlimited "soup buffets." Cards are universally accepted. In fact I have no idea how Icelandic money look like. Lots of tourists, but the crowd quickly thins out once you leave Reykjavik, or rather its center. Driving around the country side - there's very little traffic. More often than not we were alone on the road. However it's late October, maybe it's different in summer.

The country IS mind-boggingly beautiful. Saying this as someone who've been around the world. Insane scenery. Lava fields covered in moss, pitch black sand beaches, hot rivers that you can bathe in at -1c outside. Really different, invariably impressive.

You all should come ;)
There are two standard ways to measure. The meters that do the measurement usually support both. First method involves two mobile shallow ground electrodes you place 20m away from your ground rod (so electrodes are 40m apart and your ground rod in the middle). I'm not sure how exactly it is possible to measure this when the quality of ground those two extra electrodes is unknown, but it works. The meters cost few thousands $ so I assume it is not trivial.

The second method involves an already known good ground - like for example one supplied by the electricity company. Here they usually bury galvanised steel thick tape along their ground cables. That tape is hundreds of meters long and underground so it is assumed to be a really good ground. It is only used to ground outside metal bits of the power delivery equipment that are likely to be touched by people and it is separate from the ground connection supplied in the cable itself although one is supposed to connect it to the delivered ground when connecting the house cable to the electricity delivery point. Then every house is supposed to have at least two lightning protection grounds and an extra "electricity supply" ground that is again connected with the ground in the supply cable. Please bear in mind I'm no electrician and all of the above is based on me observing electricians at work when they were connecting my house, my workshop and working on lightning protection for both. I may be mistaken on some details.

The chicken is called advertising.

It is of course a discipline in it's own right, which deserves to be done well. Bad advertising profits you nothing, like badly done anything else profits you zilch.

The egg is of course the (main) activity that people are doing on your respective social network.

Again, this has to be done well. People need a reason to stay. GooglePlus circles is something, you know, people ain't like that.

Look at Gab.com and other successes based on Mastodon. They are very different, but most of them have the same reason for their success: people can post things there, that would get them banned on FB or Twitter.

Look at Microblog.com, you have to pay. People like that, because it makes sure only serious people are on there, which means your connections tend to be more serious.

My point is, its because it isn't associated (in the minds of most) with survival/success/growth of the novelty seeker or a group requiring a novelty seeker, do we end up with the question - Why aren't we curious about we want to be?

Lots of "villages"/groups/teams/orgs have misunderstandings of the role of the novelty seeker. And lots of novelty seekers have misunderstandings of how they can fit in.

One idea is that population competes for positions, and that restricts your choices early on. You could imagine that you're either pushed away or drawn into some position.
Another point of view is to see your actions through constraints, which is an inter-related point of view to competition. You're bound by money, time, energy (you can do just so much), and other resources. You can see your situation also trough psychology. You have fears, traumas, addictions, etc. Then there's intelligence that translates into how good you're at creating goals, how good you're at seeing yourself, how good you're at listening yourself, how good you're at solving problems, and how aware you're of your current condition, etc. in addition to having the ability to become better at such matters.

It's clear that all these things define how well you're in control what you're doing. There are a lot of outside sources of influences that you need to be aware of. All kind of distractions, commercials, games, noise, propaganda (manufacturing consent?). Your society wants you to do this, your employer wants you to do that, and often times you feel you have to give in, which means that you're fighting for control on a psychological level.

Creating your life so that you're 100% in control all time is very difficult, if not possible, but you can become aware of what's happening in yourself as you click mindlessly trough the internet, or when you do things/tasks you don't really want to do. You can change yourself to overcome procrastination in order to become a person that knows what he's doing, not just because you have to, but because you want to. You want to take part in society, you want to work for good causes, etc. You want to study in university to get into a certain position. And all this will that you're aware of diminishes the amount of random choices you make, I claim.

>Tourism has never been “authentic.”

Countries and places all around the world, pre-mass tourist, have, however been authentic.

In that they didn't have tourist traps, their economy / businesses weren't set up on tourisms, local were indeed surprised to see you -- and not just seeing you as just another tourist to bring them money, restaurants etc were all what locals ate, etc.

So people visiting at those times -- even as recently as the 70s-80s or so for some places--, if we can call them tourists (the most used term then would be "travellers" then I guess), did get an authentic experience of the place.

Not necessarily in their own mind of course (they could still experience it under whatever BS prism), but in the physical / economic / etc reality that they encountered.

>If fully one-fifth of humanity are traveling away from home, then how foreign are tourists, after all?

As foreign they can be. Will tourists are always around in some place, each individual tourist is foreign, in that they'll spend their 2-4 weeks and leave.

They're not invested in the place, they artificially skew the local economy to cater to them, e.g. by inflating rents (e.g. through AirBnB) for people who do live and work in the place, they bring extra pollution (often-times being 2-10x the resident population of some place per year), they feed a class of rent-seekers (literally rent-seeking people like hotels, rooms to let, private beaches and exhibits, and so on), and they also bring the distasteful demand for bland services (from souvenir shops, tourist traps, BS dance clubs, fast food chains, "authentic" tourist restaurants, etc, that the locals could not care less about, but live on because of the tourists).
This all goes without saying. However we're talking about developing and marketing a product in the first world. In this context, $1900 is not only nothing, it's a bargain given the experience OP gained.
Are you actually in need of this kind of help in the first place? If not, why not just ignore it and move on, rather than posting drive-by bile like this as your one-and-only contribution to the entire thread?

You would expect that if you restore the full backup of your iOS device to a new one, because you lost it for instance, that on the new device you could open the Authenticator app and see the same keys as you had on your old device. That is not the case though.

Under the hood Google Authenticator uses keys to generate the codes you see on screen and these keys are not backed up.

It’s a difficult decision of course. If you back them up in iCloud Apple and people who hack your Apple account have access. If you don’t the keys are lost if the device breaks or is lost and you need a workaround.
