And how do you know the author is being disingenuous ?
I was raised by my grandparents. They were born in the 1910s, and grew up in the midwest during the dust bowl and great depression. My grandfather lost most of his buddies in Guadalcanal and Burma during World War II, and, in his own words, fully expected to become worm food himself.

He said little, but one phrase he did repeat more than any other was simple: "Any day you're breathing is a good day." To him, every day, every year, every one of the six decades past 1944 was a cherry on top gift.

Growing up in the 1970s in the United States, conducting nuclear attack drills with regularity, many of us felt that it was fairly likely that we would be incinerated before our 21st birthdays.

"Every day you're breathing is a good day."

There are certainly limits to these 8 simple words, but radical gratitude is at their core.

It's quite likely that everybody reading this post is having a FAR better life than 99.9% of every other human being who exists and has ever existed.

I'm a generally happy person because, from a young age, I have chosen to focus on that simple truth.

This perspective need not lead to complacence. Those who know me will say that I've always been a driven person, personally and professionally.

Every day you're breathing is a good day. Thanks, grandpa, for the wise words. He would have celebrated his 100th birthday last month.
Everyone celebrates this, as if it were something worth celebrating. Yet all I see is another stake through the heart of desktop and native UI.

Well, it's :* and ;+ and so on, along with the now-unusual shifted number row: a bit-paired keyboard¹, matching ASCII, which was the practical thing to do when your terminal was hard-wired.

That is not strictly true even in the law.

However, if we define the "market" as "places that you can legally purchase and install iOS device apps from", the App Store is close to 95%+ of the market share.
Thanks for the chart comparing it to many alternatives. It both makes it clear what new things Kodiak does and what alternatives one could look at.
How about not being sociopaths and providing goodwill to their developers who fill their App Store with products customers use? I mean they aren't Google. :)
Yes, that's what I meant by "you". But if you want to take a more active role in improving the web, you're free to interpret that "you" as actually referring to you.
Can someone with a better understanding of Honey's business explain why it's worth $4B?
It's generally always worth keeping an eye on that, but AFAIK, the CCP doesn't normally target western nationals who talk trash or take modestly effective actions. They tend to focus on their own citizens, who they can do pretty much anything to without consequences, and on spying on anybody who might have information of significant use to them.
> She has a huge impact on the business. She had basically developed relationships with customers where she could pick up the phone and call the top physicians in the US and ask a favor - and they would always say yes.

Yep, if you do it right, this can be of value. Building up organizational capital is a huge deal in any sort of communal enterprise. OTOH, there are also "social butterflies" in any sort of organization with no real impact to speak of - or even with negative-sum impact! And it can be hard to tell which is which (Goodhart's law again), so the incentives to do it right are also quite limited.
Despite all the press around the specifics of MCAS and the 737 MAX, the broken relationship between Boeing and the FAA, and the poor state of Boeing pilot training in many developing countries, this article reads as the single most damning piece about Boeing. The implication is that there isn’t a simple policy or process fix to get Boeing back on track, but that the company culture and leadership model is fundamentally broken and has been for the last 20 years. That is a slow and painful thing to recover from, and not many companies have done it successfully (though Microsoft and IBM come to mind as ones who made it through to the other side).
"The employees" didn't want to organize. Some employees wanted to unionize. It's in your quote. "unions did not gain enough support".

Your comment is meaningless and you've been fined ten demerits.

Given there are plenty of browser, mobile, desktop, and even embedded disciplines that utilize URIs to transmit resources I think that's a very broad term. Or did you have another definition for web?
The vast majority of content is not free and is either directly paid for or subsidized by ads. Content which is given away freely or supported by user patronage is a tiny fraction.

Spotify has made a profit a total of 2 quarters out of 10 years, and that's an example of direct payment as I described, which nobody has a problem with. Donations as you're talking about are completely different. There is no free and pay what you want with spotify.
The ATX standard was released in 1995 and it took a few years for them to become common. Are you sure it wasn't the late 90s. Time-frames get hazy this far back, its actually not improbable these Office '97 machines are ATX.
There is a lot of truth to "ignorance is bliss", a healthy dose of ignorance is often times necessary.

What do you really gain by being all knowledgeable (and miserable)? Life is not a videogame that you win at the end by learning more than other people, instead it's a game that we all LOSE when we die, so to my eyes the only thing we should optimize for is to be happy while we live. If knowing more things make you happy, go for it but keep an eye on the potential negative effects on one's mood/happiness that I find inherent in knowledge.

> Yet no one really cares about crimes committed by corporations.

Lots of people do. They just don't happen to have the evidence to put those corporations in jail. The presumption of innocence is a valuable principle, but it cuts both ways. It defends you as much as it does corporations (who have A TON more resources to prevent/ mitigate a prosecution).
The secret is something else, I think: happiness is a temporary emotion. It is not meant to be a constant long-term state of being. What people really want is contentment, but because the narrative tells them they must be happy all the time they seek that out instead, and through suffering often achieve it for moments at a time before returning to baseline. Then they have to set a new goal for the next hit.
Leadership is corrupt when it acts against the interests of their people to benefit their personal interests.

Swiss government is accountable to their people, not to foreigners - if they choose to act in a manner that benefits the swiss (not because it somehow directly enriches these Swiss leaders personally) at the expense of some other people exploited by their corrupt dictator, then that's not a corrupt action but a prudent decision for the benefit of their country, possibly even a duty if their people support that.
Glad you like it! We used to use a similar method for hackathons in the past, but we were getting tired of always having to configure databases.

We used NextJS for the UI, and Node + LevelDB on the backend.
This adds absolutely nothing to the conversation and is pretty provably false.
Sigh. Again, with the changing of my words. It's really, really annoying.

I never said I felt a moral claim to the lost tax revenue. Ever. I've repeated over and over (and over) that it's the lying to the American people that I, and many others find morally repugnant. I don't know how to state it any clearer. I honestly don't. I've made no comments whatsoever of a political nature. Not one.

Is there something about disliking lying which is inherently political? I learned that lying was bad in kindergarten before I even knew what politics was.

You've already proven yourself to be arguing in bad faith with your "I'm not calling this fake news" lie (see directly above), so there's no point in continuing this conversation.

I guess liars defending liars is exactly what I should have expected.
Romanian activists turn to witchcraft in fight against illegal logging
The DA was freely elected by the people FOR these views. The previous DA had similar views. SF needs a DA who will actually prosecute crime, not make excuses for it.

My car has been broken into multiple times in SF. Once in front of a police station. Once near a school which had security cameras rolling which filmed the entire thing. Police are uninterested. They told me "these people have it hard enough, we're not going to make things harder for them"
So is Thunderbird still using XUL or not?
How many times have the tests been run? Once? First for C, then for Go? What about disk caching then?

What I can see there is that for the same algorithm, the Go version was not so fast. It was comparable. The memory overhead could be caused by the size of the program, as wc has more functionalities.

Then there is compared a totally different algorithm with a false claim "this way a go implementation is faster than a c one". Sure it is, as this is a different implementation of a different algorithm. A fair comparison would be implementing the same algorithm in c and comparing then. I assume the difference wouldn't be huge.

So, generally, I think it's not a fair comparison.
The problem is that the OP seems to have used his dev account to get access to information and divulge it against the TOS. He used his financial source to profit in other ways against the interests of his financial source.

If my company had a meeting where I learned about quarterly results ahead of any public disclosure, and then I published them somehow, I wouldn't have grounds to complain when they find out and terminate me.

If the OP had a totally clean use of his dev account, and he published articles critical of Apple without inside info, and then had his dev account terminated, then I'd be worried about Apple's overreach and dangerous power. But that's NOT what appears to have happened here.
I am from France as well, I use Twitter every day

Twitter is the only way I have to get informed and mingle with people interested in solidity/Ethereum development (eg; Defi/makerDao/Kyber protocol...)

I'm unsure what you mean by this... English <th> is inherited from Proto-Germanic, not Greek.

Also, did you mean Greek θ (theta)? θ started as aspirated /tʰ/, and it's a pretty common sound change for aspiration to become a fricative, in this case /θ/. φ also made a similar journey from /pʰ/ to /ɸ/ to /f/.

Sure, but every time NYC "car culture" questions come up, people start wringing their hands about people who need to drive to work. If we're talking NYC that's a low percentage of people who do drive to work (whether they need to is another question) and for the Upper West Side (say, zipcodes 10023, 10024, 10025) very low, 6%-7%.

V-Sauce did an episode of Mindfield on the Ayahuasca experience. I was really surprised he went through the whole thing and documented it quite thoroughly (except I suppose the embarrassing bits)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3lWVLuc6CE&vl=en

It clearly frightened him to some extent, but in the end he did learn something of himself that hadn't occurred to him before.
Is that a pertinent question? The availability of devices with integrated cryptography is very, very low due to ITAR. Perhaps the only thing I have encountered is a bluetooth controller.

Many things are not space constrained as they are cost constrained. It would be easier to put in a core high power enough to get acceptable performance for the one connection it needs to service.

It will be more expensive, probably in terms of development work. Will people do it? Probably not, but people weren't doing security right anyway.
Let’s insulate ourselves from the delusional masses by forming useful coalitions
Since you are reading this you probably know what I’m getting at. People who are grounded in reality ( according to my definition of course) are rare and may often be lost among the sea of the deluded masses. So this post of mine is an attempt to gather people who are like-minded.( people who I deem to be grounded in reality through my own colored lens of the world). The idea is to form mutually beneficial alliances in this insane world. Right now this process of forming alliances is somewhat unplanned and subject to chance events(you meet/know someone reasonable at school, work etc.). I'm hoping to cast the net wide by leveraging the internet. As to what exactly should the alliance be, or what it hopes to achieve is something to be discussed (though I have some concrete preliminary thoughts).

How to start: Email me your core beliefs ( though I personally prefer a voice chat with on Skype, google hangouts etc.), especially the beliefs where you think you differ fundamentally from the vast majority of people. I will quiz you on various subjects ( and so can you) to see if our beliefs align. Overall my beliefs can be loosely labeled as: generally anarchist (i.e a live and let live approach), generally anti-authoritarian ( meaning I believe govt/authorities do not protect your interests), largely capitalist( i.e vehemently opposed to coercive co-operation, put forth by typical socialism) etc. Perhaps at the bare minimum we have to share a meta belief that it is necessary to reach out and cooperate with other like minded individuals as it is virtually impossible to 'de-delude' the idiotic masses though arguments/dialogs etc. My email address can be found on my profile. In my profile you will also find a link to some webpages that outline my beliefs.

After this step, if we think our beliefs align, I will add you to an an online forum ( zero people as of now) , where you can interact with other people that I will be screening.

Caveats:

-It often takes a very long time ( months to years) to form mutually beneficial alliances. ( more so when individuals are geographically isolated from each other.) Perseverance and patience will be very important.

-The online forum is not to rant against the world, or a place to discuss your core beliefs. ( I would think forums for that already exist). This is more of a place for doers.

Side note: It’s really hard to for me to believe that someone else is not doing this ( i.e what I’m attempting in this post) already somewhere. Let me know if you are aware of similar efforts, I would be eager to join.
10000% relevant. I’m a new grad and although I’m a startup founder now, I spent a good part my college years growing white hair while recruiting. The idea of shining a light in the corporate black box of recruiting and democratizing access to those nebulous “skills” that are so important to career advancement is, frankly, life changing. I genuinely genuinely wish I had this in college. Best of luck.
If you've actually had a similar experience, that can be validating to share.
Does being sexist make it untrue?

Are truth and sexistness orthogonal axes?

If you had to choose between saying something true but sexist and non-sexist but untrue, which would you pick?
It's not a generic Namecheap/GoDaddy/Gandi registrar with their associated WHOIS privacy protection like you'd expect from some indie web developer having a laugh. There's no online registration tool, instead you have to email/call CSC Digital Brand Services to get connected to a salesperson who will figure out if you're worth their time and how much money they can quote for the service.

That isn't proof by any stretch, but is an indicator that it's a corporate PR effort by a Verizon competitor instead of just a practical joke.
The financialization of Boeing was a "success".

Boeing's stock rose. Executives made their money and cashed out. Somebody else was left holding the bag.

This is the behavior the current market rules incentivize.
Tips to Hire a Software Engineer
I don't think there is much freedom in placing seams in a button-up shirt, so it is difficult to understand how it would work.
To be fair the author does say "it has since turned into a game of trying to take on the venerable wc with different languages". Of course the real message is that the original wc isn't particularly efficient and it can be beaten in many different languages - including C.
It's registered through a service (CSC Corporate Domains) that is unavailable to a private individual.

Both Sprint and AT&T use CSC for some of their corporate domains -- and I wouldn't be surprised if some MVNOs do as well -- so it's difficult to tell who might be behind it.
The other thing is tailoring it to the individual. All of this is easier if there’s less ego on both sides. I try to operate that way generally, but everyone has their triggers. There’s no one size fits all solution.
You're saying we shouldn't spend time to make sure the algorithm is mathematically sound...because the implementation will have side channels? Using your metaphor, that's like saying we should never bother designing a secure lock because someone will just break a window to get in anyway.
Perceptron, which preceded both the minsky induced AI winter and the current hype around deep learning was in fact invented in 1958.
How about pre-Civil War and pre-WWII?
My understanding is that you should make sure that you have a service provider [0] contract in place with your mail provider and that they have easy to use tools for you to opt-out and delete subscribers info.

There is also a need to make sure data is being appropriately stored by the service provider since you have a "duty to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information to protect the personal information" [1].

I'd start by digging into how the mail provider is approaching compliance and security and whether they are planning to get certified.

> However, the modularity they provide out of the box is mostly cosmetic

Isn't being cosmetic pretty much true with everything in Ruby/Rails? You can override constants/classes, override method definitions (public/private), access "private" variables, call "private" methods, etc. There are gems that prevent these types of things, but then you're just fighting the language.

I feel like they are solving the standard problem that happens with Rails apps. You use Rails so you can iterate quickly when you don't know exactly what you're building. Eventually you reach the point where your code is hard to reason about and maintain, but the core of you business logic is now more understood. So then you want to start turning knobs to tighten up your code and disallow the shortcuts that used to make you more productive but are now slowing you down. Then you start adding more code that fights back against Ruby/Rails and disallows you from doing things in your application code that's making it hard to reason about.
It's probably not T-Mobile, as they don't habitually use CSC for their domain registrations. (They seem more inclined to make their registrations through MarkMonitor.) Sprint and AT&T both use CSC, though.
IMO there should be more information for international applicants. It's obvious that the outcome might not be the same if you live in certain regions.
What I struggle with after #3 is when I get the response "I don't know". At that point I really don't know what the next steps are beside trying to come up with solutions (and that doesn't work out too well sometimes).
One of the things that I use a lot that isn't on there is the "Look up" function/service to get the definitions of words from the dictionary, wiki, etc. Super useful and I miss it so much after switching from Safari.
That might be one of the best exits you could hope for as a founder or startup employee. Very little money raised to get to that valuation.
Arch. You stay on the bleeding edge for both security updates, and compiler and interpreter updates.
Between the base/extra/community repositories, the AUR and the Arch wiki, you get reasonably good software and advice on what to do and how to install it.
I worked on an application based on XULRunner for a couple of years and I do miss it sometimes. The mixture of (in our case) C++ based XPCOM, mixed with JS and XPIDL fine to work with.

Or we aren't raising them, they are.
That really has to be one of the more ridiculous ice breakers I've ever seen. I'd ascribe about as much meaning to those supposed relationships as I would to a grocery store horoscope, and in much the same way. If you're inclined to do so, you can go back as you read the explanation of what each thing "means" and pick out all of the bits you agree with to convince yourself that it makes sense.
> Building something is the easy bit.

Building something is certainly easy. Building something people want and works well is pretty hard. Unless you have the latter, all the sales and marketing won't do much for you unless you have an established legacy walled garden that people are forced to use.

I agree, this is the simplest and most likely explanation. As tempting as it is to buy into the romantic idea that they’re 100 years ahead of everyone else but can only use their powers in extreme circumstances, that just seems very unlikely.
