Youtube and Google Now have turned into weird "interest-related" ghettos. I've completely stopped using Google Now and I only use Youtube via direct link (how does the most popular video platform have by far the worst discoverability? Would it kill them to add categorization and browsability?)

A good example: I liked "Azealia Banks - 212" on Youtube. Then, I got some random article about some crazy thing she did on Google Now and clicked. Now, there's some article about her in my feed literally every single day. I see how it happens, but it's annoying and makes me hate the product.

Except that Increasing leisure time and freedom destroyed an autocratic empire isn't what the article says, and autocratic seems editorialising hugely (the Ottoman empire was no more autocratic than other empires and in many ways less so).

I think your complain here is that the article is wrong. That has little to do with the headline, which summarises the article's argument quite well.

Why am I open sourcing this?

I don't see any other RBI / CBII vendor open sourcing their platform and in the security industry "closed source" can create issues.

But what about business defensibility?

I agree. Open sourcing removes the trade secret aspect that could make a defensible business.

At the same time, a determined hacker would already have my source code. A hacked "free wifi" connection here, a bit of social engineering there, and my so-called "competitive advantage" could be easily removed. Access to GitHub, Gitlab, other accounts would prove no obstacle for someone motivated, and open sourcing is a way to remove the advantage any small group of parties has by keeping it secret.

How do I self-host it?

I had high hopes for CDK but after following the recommended path for a not very complex deployment and ending up with 3x more code than terraform, I had to declare it unfit for mass consumption. I spoken with my rep about it and he tried really hard to steer away from it because they know it's just not there yet. It's better than CFN but only because it's not plain yaml. As it matures, if they can get community buy in, I'm sure it'll be good enough but I'd leave it alone for now.
For Latin you might like Lingua Latina per se illustrata. It teaches Latin solely through Latin itself, starting with simple sentences. As such, it's mostly focused on reading Latin. You can also look for the "Nature Method" books available in Italian and French (and there's supposedly a Russian one, but I haven't found a scan of it and only know of one copy hidden away in a university library in the US). It's my goal to be able to update these one day, but I believe they're still under copyright except in the US.
I know you've already gone around on this post for a while, but it is worth saying that the people of Iowa don't really subsidize those trips. Iowa draws more in federal funds than it contributes in federal tax.

According to the wiki[1]:

> Interest in rammed earth declined after World War II when the cost of modern construction materials decreased.[citation needed] Rammed earth was considered substandard, and still is opposed by many contractors, engineers, and tradesmen who are unfamiliar with earthen construction techniques.[7] The prevailing perception that such materials and techniques perform poorly in regions prone to earthquakes has prevented their use in much of the world.[citation needed] In Chile, for example, rammed earth edifices normally cannot be conventionally insured against damage or even be approved by the government.[citation needed]

Lots of missing citations, but seems reasonable. I for one had never heard of this construction technique until today.

Yes and no. The linked article explains that the 'secret' was ash from Mt Vesuvius which added silicates. But the Romans had another cement called "Maritime Cement" which is mentioned in the second article (the follow up article that I linked) which says,

"There does seem to be one particular application in which the Romans had a formula we would like to rediscover: maritime concrete, exposed to seawater. Normally, concrete in a pier or harbor erodes over time, both due to the salts and other minerals in the seawater, and due to the abrasion of sand and silt. However, some Roman marine structures have survived for 2,000 years. Geologists studying Roman concrete have recently discovered (2017) that the particular concrete formula used in those structures has a beneficial interaction with seawater, creating new crystals within the cementing matrix that actually increase strength. DARPA just announced that “Unlocking the Secrets of Roman Concrete” is one of many topics for exploration under a research awards program."

Whoa, before we start pulling out the pitchforks, I think this may be terribly distorting OP's words and intent.

- My reading of it was that OP was in awe at the immense scale of engineering that went into Autopilot to make it production-ready in contrast to his own project which gives a perspective into what it takes for a HelloWorld in this space (he comments on its limitations: "That is just lane keeping so far but it does quite a good job at doing it. It is still a bit weak when wanting to predict the angle when there is an intersection and it doesn’t see the next road and say there is an highway exit.")

- The github project looks to be using an existing recording of a car driving from the comma2k19 dataset and predicting the expected vehicular response. No pedestrians endangered.

- Not that this should matter in an ideal world, but it appears the author is a talented young programmer who's still in school. It feels a bit much to admonish a newcomer to the space for perceived arrogance and irresponsibility; and even if there were at all real critiques to be made here, I'm sure there's a less rude way to make that argument that wouldn't discourage students from their learning journey.

Ah, I see what you mean. Personally I've advocated for something more similar to "React Hooks are redux for devs who know when not to use redux", which is _most_ of the time.
“Where we want to be as America's railroad is to cover all of our operating costs through our revenues,” [the CEO] says, “and then use the grant that we receive from our owners, the United States government, to invest in the infrastructure, the rail infrastructure across America.”

That's some unconventional accounting. Most GAAP accountants would tell you that capital investments should be amortized over their expected lifetime, with the first depreciation hit in the year they're made. That would of course mean an additional expense to cover before calling yourself profitable.
Still, the stuff listed B is not generally a problem with applications other than the web browser. If I use email, NNTP, curl, ifMUD, etc, then it isn't going to access servers that I do not specify with each request. Such software is simpler than the web browser; the web browser is a mess.
> The author doesn’t want ads but then doesn’t want to pay anything? How would anyone expect a video site to stream 4K video for free then?

I guess I expected free/cheap hosting to scale enough for video by now. Little geocities sites used to only have a a banner ad and many others had free web hosting with their ISP or purchased some web space. We never evolved a video equivalent of this, probably mostly because youtube exists and could take billions in losses for years. There are distributed alternatives but I don't think any of them are quite like cgi-bin for video.
Hi, yes, all of these commands started life as just bash aliases a couple of years back :) but keeping dotfiles in sync across different computers with different operating systems got messy.

Then I created wrapping shell scripts and used symlinks from ~/bin/ to the git repo they lived in. But still it was a bit messy and annoying to set up and keep up to date.

For that reason I made them into commands. On top of that I added a sprinkle of argument handling.

And now all is well and dandy.
> A bold statement, considering it’s the #1 video website in the world.

Have you considered is the #1 number in the world despite its UI not thanks to it? Maybe more to do with the net effect of people uploading videos since 2006 more than being the best out of the competition.

>Yeah and? Is this a problem? Can you choose what’s in a newspaper or what comes back when you type something in a search engine?

It holds an inconceivably large aquifer beneath it. In some places under enormous positive pressure so geysers shoot up after drilling.

> Hahahaha. That would never happen. The optics would be horrible, both domestically and internationally. Such a good deed could never go unpunished.

This is, I will point out, the same reason "expired" or almost
"expired" produce and groceries get destroyed or thrown away instead of donated. In almost all cases the food is still perfectly safe, and most stores assume (incorrectly) that they would be liable for any illness caused by "expired" food. But the optics would also look terrible because most people just don't realize that food doesn't magically go from perfectly safe to toxic the instant it does beyond the date written on the package. I have a friend who runs a homeless charity and she tried to get the (many) grocery stored to donate constantly. Almost all of the chains have corporate policy against it for liability reasons.
This is a fairly ridiculous premise. You cannot trivialise an empire that lasted more than 400 years and held together one of the most fractious region on earth (look at what happened after the Ottomans) and say that it was so brittle that a drink could bring it down. Very few empires in history last that long.

It may just be that other regions went ahead in historical pace. Even with all the outpacing, battles like Gallipoli (which is the basis of the Anzac Day in Australia and NZ) show that Ottomans were a force to be reckoned with, even in their twilight.

Just like pop science, pop history is also a form of spam.

It was not sarcasm! When were you last in Canberra? Apparently it's changed a lot in the last 5 years.

I'm also British originally – arrived here '03 – so I never saw it back in the day, but almost everyone I know went on a school trip as a kid and says it was terrible. And in the 90s/00s it probably was terrible. Since then it's become a really cool little city. Emphasis on little – it's tiny. But Braddon is a lovely place to be during the week, and the national galleries and what have you are a wonderful place to be on the weekend.

Give it another chance. I really love it there. (I'm FIFO'ing weekly at the moment.)
Your part of the country may be different, but the major cities (typically rail hubs) in mine have fairly dense towns at regular intervals along the tracks leading out of the city.

Unfortunately, for the past century the larger cities have been steadily sucking their population and talent away. Hub and spoke rail systems are an excellent way to revitalize these towns and encourage population balancing.

Because not everyone wants to live in a Singaporean econobox.

Traditionally, the limitation on this has been weakness / corruption of local government vs the major freight railroads.

Amtrak, with proper Congressional support, could play an interesting part in reopening existing rail to passenger traffic.
It was almost certainly sarcasm. I have family over there and have rarely gotten similar questions from people here in the States.

Although, it doesn't surprise me as much as it probably should. I live in New Mexico and have had people in the past ask if it's difficult traveling to the US, or what it's like living in another country...

My mum, who is Australian, once received a compliment from someone at a local store whereupon learning of her origins said she "spoke beautiful English." Without batting an eye, she replied "Thanks, I usually speak Australian."

So, the structure of the OP's comment adding in the additional exasperation of "there are other cities?!" definitely strikes me as sarcasm.
I am from Minneapolis. I’m trying to imagine a fast rail connect to Chicago as being better than driving. Once in Chicago I think I’d like to have a car? It’s only a day’s drive away so I imagine I’d rather drive. Basically the net is that the US is car centric and it will be a lot of work to change that. (Which I’m on board for, it’s just not easy or quick.)
The thing with coffee isn't that it's delicious. It's actually quite hard to make it palatable.

But coffee is (1) addictive, and (2) induces wakefulness and action.

I've seen loose theories that coffee was the real reason for the Industrial Revolution. It's not hard to imagine the extra energy it produces to also go into political efforts.
> But the drugs aren't actually expired, and they're certainly not used

Note that author is referring to used car seats, not expired ones. Comparing used car seats to used drugs is not very fair. A closer sense for "used" when referring to a car seat compared to what "used" means for a drug would probably be one that was involved in a crash, and that is not what the article is mentioning.

But to your point this won't happen. Besides the supply chain nightmare and risks if the seats were effectively involved in a crash, that would make the whole campaign moot: how do you justify why you should throw a used car seat away and then send it to another country?

And we most certainly don't want that if the goal is to sell AMAP car seats
Email channels and pre-ticket forms are dealbreakers for being a Zendesk replacement. I can live without a lot of ZD's features (and be happier for it) but those two are table stakes for me. I could see this being a replacement for Intercom, but Intercom isn't a fit for us either.

The stuff ZD and Intercom (and SFDC) are awful at, where there are opportunities for something else to swoop in: even partial Markdown support for incoming messages, integrations with third-party docs/KB sources, live queue dashboards/visualizations, toggling features based on different support plans, and facilitating handoffs for follow-the-sun support (multiple queues, defined regions/hours per queue, auto-reassigning active tickets across agents and queues, cleaner or richer ticket summarization options).

I agree with sibling, but:

> As people got educated and had more free time, they may have found other venues to communicate and exchange ideas.

The point is that in this particular case it was the coffee shops. They were popular, they were profitable, they were lead by “literate people” (something to think about).

It’s interesting to think about why this thing happened in these kinds of places. There are other examples of revolutions instead being triggered from religious places, from work places, from battlefields... the “non-uniqueness” is debatable.

Even just the tidbit about state power being unable to outright shut these down. There are so many axes you can go down when thinking about it. There’s the power struggle itself, both between state and capital and between state and the people (which ones though?). There are difficulties of empire. There’s so much.

There are sometimes cases when such encoding is necessary, such as to not interfere with the message framing, and there are many such cases; it happens in many text-based protocols (which is good in order to be able to work it without specialized software; for example, NNTP). Or if you are going to type in the data by hand, maybe, such as from a print out.
