> Also, a side note: I just suppose that everyone who supports Facebook at this point benefit from Facebook's profits in some way (e.g. FB employees, FB ecosystem consultants, close partners such as Microsoft etc) and automatically discount their opinions about Facebook.

I was gonna upvote you, but this was unnecessary. It’s possible for someone to be positive towards something you see as a negative. People hate Trump and he has supporters. Whether you agree with them or not, not all of them are benefiting from the Trump Administration
Hmm, I run a handleful of OSM servers with similar specs and it takes a little a day or 2 to import the world to a HDD. Here's some benchmarks. It definitely helps to have a beefy server: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2pgsql/benchmarks

A Postgres dump would be massive.
"Unhelpful"? We have a specific problem we are trying to solve. That problem is: Too much CO2, right now. The term is obviously useful in solving that problem.

Nobody is worrying about CO2 on geological timescales. It is simply not relevant to any discussion anyone is having, or any problem anyone is trying to solve.

This isn't complicated? How are you managing to miss the point with such vigour?
I think that part of the issue is that blank surveillance is as easier than surveillaning a single person used to be.

Also, it is possible to build systems where the admins can access the data or metadata. End-to-end encryption, for example parent the admin from seeing the contents of messages. Systems like Tor also prevent any one person from knowing who everyone is and what's saying. Mutual authentication can also help establish that mitm attacks aren't happening, but that's a slightly different problem than when there is access to the back end of the system being used.

I love using OSM, but when pointing non-geeks towards it the experience of openstreetmap.org is not the best.

Myself I am a happy user of maps.me as an app (even paying user before they were acquired) and have built tons of toy tools around it (basically whenever I need to do a tech demo I use osm data queried from overpass etc.) and there are cool things one can do ... but the shiny user-friendly thing is missing and "don't give Google your data" for many doesn't work.

Edit/p.s. I know that openstreetmap.org is supposed to be the "developer site" and others are supposed to build the "nice" products, but it's the entry to the project, where the brand leads.
Another great option could be https://hub.docker.com/r/overv/openstreetmap-tile-server/
Sure, and a hundred or more years later the family of the author, or relatives of the recipient can decide to release the family letters or telegram from WW1 or the US Civil War etc. That delay, usually at least until the correspondents have died, is important. The affair, the less than ideal belief, and all that other imperfect demonstration of humanity can no longer hurt or embarrass. It ceases to be private and personal and moves into the historic.

Releasing whilst the probably famous sender is alive is most often in the realms of to do damage, simply tasteless or paid for revelations in the gutter press.
No. I was a truck driver for almost a year.

The job pays like shit. You have to pay $2-5k for classes to get a CDL or get locked in with a company that trains you and you pay back at their variable rates of interest... oh and they "lose payments" often along with charging you high late fees.

They take anyone with a heartbeat. It's the ultimate form of equality. If you're dumb enough or desperate enough, they'll take you no matter your gender, race or self identifying whatever.

The job pays like crap, you're treated like crap and your body goes to shit real fast.

There are regulations, and most of them are pro-trucker, aimed to protect them from abuse by the company. Problem is, a majority of voters have this weird and incredibly stupid fantasy that trucker life equals a cowboy life. Thus, company lobbyists are able to easily manipulate the narrative to the media, public and Congress. Making sure truckers don't get a voice or have a leg to stand on. Most truckers aren't the brightest bulbs in the shed. I had to do it out of desperation from a spat of unemployment. I had a plan and a way out, unlike most of them. What really sucks, most truckers are really good people. They do the job in hopes of putting their families in a better situation. But because the companies run them down and they only get 3-5 days a month of home time, nothing works out as expected. A lot get divorced in their first year or so. Argue? Oh, what's that, there's no loads coming out of butt fuck nowhere Wyoming. Looks like you're stuck there for the week. Btw, you are paid based on miles driven when you have a load. Thus, in that situation, I didn't get a paycheck for the week.

And it's one of those jobs that people need to stay in their lane about. If you were never one, you actually don't know the shit they go through.

So no, it needs more regulation. The kind of regulations that puts a noose around the company's necks.
Both the Army and the USMC are planning on all future rifles having silencer like capabilities. Not the Hollywood phony silent type, but noise suppression/reduction. This is driven both by tactical reasons as well as health reasons.

While there is an aspect of self-interest in humans, I find that we are often a lot more altruistic than we are generally given credit for.
Hard work, intentionality, and most importantly luck.

There are many famous game devs including Shigeru Miyamoto, Todd Howard (I'm not sure if you were joking in your first comment because he definitely used to have a cult following), Peter Molyneux, Gabe Newell, Carmack and Romero, Will Wright.
They're planning for his children to be his successors on the throne. He doesn't seem interested in the constitutional term limits, either, and it's hard to see how you lose an election if you are free to cheat in it. I think the threat is real, and I've been around for a while. This isn't just the latest partisan spat.

That said, yes, you're correct about the FBI and surveillance stuff and all that.

Also: the NYT is part and parcel of the "shit show". Endless reporting about Her Emails. We've already forgotten that the orange man regularly uses unsecured personal cell phones to conduct business free from oversight, since that came out ... let's see... last week.
Crows are astoundingly intelligent. If you're having a slow day, a quick youtube of "crows solving puzzles" yields some great videos of them solving complicated tasks like water displacement to reach food[0]. I believe raccoons share this achievement.

Additionally, there was a thread on here some time ago[1] by a Dutch Startup[2] about trying to teach crows to exchange cigarette butts for treats inside a tiny device place in parks, I always thought that was a funny idea if you could get the crows to teach one another.

Not in any supported/official way, though obviously it's possible to use developer tools to extract the file it's downloading. My understanding is that the Internet Archive operates under the legal theory that this model does not constitute "distributing copies".
There's more than two. I'd throw in Todd Howard and John Carmack. Usually it's done like becoming notable in any other field: innovation.
Enclosed patios provide some protection from the weather, but they are not the same as the insulated interior of a modern house. I've been to a house in Texas that had an enclosed patio that was unusable in the heat of summer. It acted like a hothouse.

By default but if you have enough leverage you can get all sorts of allowances from an employer. I always have any clause struck about the employer owning anything I produce outside of work for example.
(I don't necessarily consider this to be an example of significant leverage just common-sense.)
This isn't such a bad thing. If this standard were ubiquitous, Troy Hunt could maintain a top-1000 list of easiest-to-brute-force websites according to their password-requirement declarations. One might present one's own top ranking to one's CTO to help start a conversation about eliminating voodoo security practices.

Hopefully the Top-1000 page would include an intro why the list should be empty.
Cybertruck Mania Leads to Copyright Dispute over Tesla Truck Nuts
What do you mean by "every post is moderated" ?
The easy way is to set up some sort of router, most of them NAT and block port forwarding. That way you can only access your Jenkins from the local network.
So that's how gnome-tweaks happened. I was always confused why there were a bunch of settings you had to install another package to change.
Bloggi’s Principles
Set up a network, don't make it public. Block everything incoming except your VPN tunnel should you need remote access. That's how a private network works.
Not trolling... if they outlaw encryption, as most governments want to do, it will require creative org structures.
the crows in western Australia know how to open a kids school bag (zip or buttons or both). then they know to pull the lunch box out and open that (clasps, zipped even to pop the vacuum button before popping off the lid). So now the kids have to keep their school bags in the room.
Amazing! Though, you have to wonder, would it be better if people just got their butter from local producers... This, of course, goes with any sort of food. Seems trucking has helped centralize farming which, from a risk perspective, is not a good thing.
Crowdsourcing Crows to Clean the City
"Encapsulate each action and codify its opposite" is exactly the hard part of this. Too much code is written assuming it has access to the entire state of whatever it's modifying and doesn't have to worry too much about side effects.
What kind of structure would you build in the wild, if you'd never seen a house, or hut, or lean-to? Think you'd just arrive at these ideas on your own? Think you'd even consider building your own at all? Or would you just keep walking until you found a cave?

We depend more on our collective intelligence and teachings than you think.
By cheating, you're referring to the 17 'unbiased' errors, 100% of which somehow simultaneously helped the Hillary campaign and pushed a sham special council investigation and impeachment on the people, all the while the media was pinky swearing there was more evidence than there actually was, right?
I did not want to imply it's not a problem, but to highlight how untrustworthy the New York Times was, and still is.

Compare this with their coverage of a different revelation of state secrets: the US pressuring the UK to sell out their healthcare in the UK-US trade negotiations. They focus entirely on how it's "associated with a Russian disinformation campaign", with a tiny little addendum that "the leaks seem accurate".

They like to present themselves as trustworthy and neutral, and indeed their coverage is very accurate. But their selection of stories to cover, and angles to cover them from, hides a tremendous bias (which doesn't neatly map to US party lines, as the examples I gave illustrate).
Not sure about you but I always wait 7 years before enforcing dubious copyright rights.
What about Miyamoto? or to a lesser extent Suda51? There's also John Carmack/Romero, Gabe Newell - maybe the trick is being associated with a long string of successful and unique games with a common thread between them.
I first read about this guy from a link currently on xkcd to another of his medium posts, titled "So you want to reform democracy" [0] (it has been posted a few times here, but it never got many comments).

I'm personally very interested in using tech to make a better society, spread good ideas and all that. Not necessarily "civic technology" like this, but you get the idea.

To be completely honest, this guy has been going at it for a long time and had some success, but every time I look at something he worked on, I feel the ideas are poor and the execution is poor. I don't mean to dismiss his work at all, but this impression makes me wonder if there's other people working on similar areas and having more success (not necessarily from an economic perspective, obviously).

I feel the focus of his ideas are too broad and flawed at a fundamental level. Truth is fundamental to society, but these ideas seem to focus too much on just giving a lot of info. My experience tells me that people who wants to learn and be critical and find out what's going on will more or less get there anyway, relying on many different sources. And most of people will simply not be interested in that. When I was a kid, I always kinda asked myself something similar: do we need people to be nicer, or do we need them to be more clever and informed? The binary choice was pretty childish. Nowadays I try to focus more on how to get the two aligned. For example, in the case of a programmer like me, instead of unconsciously letting tech make the world even a bigger mess, try to minimize its use unless it can really bring something positive for someone. But it gets really tricky. Getting a bit out of topic, so I'll stop for the moment and see if it sparkles some discussion.

>If the background lighting is fixed like an led or lcd display

This hasn't been true of LCD displays for years. They now use LED backlighting, and the backlighting is dynamic (it varies in brightness depending on what'd displayed, and changes across the display too).

>If you're using dark mode to save battery on a laptop it's not working.

This is only true if your laptop is circa 2005.
Just a technicality, but a "positive feedback loop" is probably the very thing that you might want to avoid.

Do you really think maintaining infrastructure for electronic payments and internet banking is "near-zero cost"?
The fact that frequencies stopped going up was the breakdown of Dennard Scaling[1], not a breakdown of Moore's Law[2]. We're still finding ways to pack transistors closer together and make them use less power even if frequency scaling has stalled.

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennard_scaling

[2] Though Dennard's paper came out in 1974 and the term "Moore's Law" was coined in 1975 so they've always been a bit confused.
To me it was more prominent in the 90s, with names like John Romero, Peter Molyneux, Will Wright, American McGee, Tim Schafer, and so on. I think that after they failed to deliver in one way or another, their names faded into obscurity from pop culture, and weren't replaced by new ones. There are two possible reasons for this: either consumers realized that these creators were never the geniuses they were propped up to be (I find this unlikely), or the big companies realized that they didn't really like the idea of having these rockstar designers doing whatever they wanted instead of what the shareholders wanted.

The idea of the genius designer is therefore much more prevalent in smaller indie studios, where somebody makes an innovative game basically single-handedly, and then becomes known throughout the community
I think people aren't quite willing to face up to the consequence of this, though: This means that commercial air travel, as we know it, is going to go away. We can not afford to keep burning fuel at the rate we do for flights today, and we won't even have that fuel available at some point. And if we can not develop electric or renewable alternatives, which we very well may not, we will just have to stop doing it.
thanks, I will try and find it
Irrelevant. AMD doesn’t own its own fabs anymore, and I think they rely on the expertise for whoever happens to be fanning their chips, allowing them to simply choose the fab with the best process while they focus on architecture.
This is a new level of copyright trolling.
The problem is that you can't plan the remaining 10%. Perhaps it's every 10 miles you have to have the safety driver take over. That makes it effectively useless.
On contrary with US IP non-hijacking rules we see in the Apple vs Nuvia case.

Both cases are quite similar to my eye.
Pretty simple Webapp that you could have done 7 years ago. That not necessarily a bad thing but I wouldn't develop a webapp with those tools.

Specifically the 'Component' library. I really didn't enjoy working with it and it one of the most complex to understand parts of our web application.

So while this seems like a fun set of slides (I have not watched the presentation yet), it's not what I would call a great introduction to Web development in Clojure overall.
11. Have a battalion of armed bodyguards?

A little bit on that Alexander Mamut guy: http://rumafia.net/en/dosje/12 . One of the "7 banker" group.

He is the one who racketeered Euroset into selling itself at 990% discount.

Evroset was the largest retail network in Russia, built from scratch buy a man with a lot of talent, but no mafia connections. Alexander Chichvarkin was pretty much the most renowned businessman of his generation in Russia.

Chichvarkin fled to UK, and left a director to be his proxy.

They used the same tactic — director detained, and offered a trade at gunpoint. The director however managed to escape the capture too. In this case, after his bodyguards made a scuffle with police in his office.

Some might hold you in higher regard, but probably that won't help you much in the interview process. Raw skill is what you'll lean on most of the work day, that's what they'll primarily judge you on. If they have two potential hires with equal skill but one has that on her resume, they'll go with the safer one. (I like Susan, I'm just trying to reason if being a whistleblower truly is benefit or not.) Most (thriving) employers are raw capitalists by selection pressure. Taking on extra risk by letting red flags pass through is not something top teir startups can afford.
The machine is not, and neither is the world. Even if it were, it would still not be as good. It would not tell you about materials, tolerances, or many other important things.
I'm not familiar with any of these musicians, so I'm going to have to check them out. Thanks!

I was lucky enough to score a second-hand set of Deutche Grammophon's Complete Beethoven Edition at an estate sale, and I like to crank up the piano sonatas when coding (and save the symphonies for consensual sex and ultraviolence).

It's not a 'West' thing, it's a US/wannabe-US company thing. Also likely illegal in most EU countries, anyway.
An alternative is context, counter-argument, argument

"we currently xxxx, and although yyyyy, zzzz is still better. Make the case against your own argument or for an alternative first, to show you understand both sides, can exhibit some empathy, and to prevent the inevitable rebuttal. If your argument isnt well received, youve still framed the counter-argument in a way that leaves the subsequent conversation about moving forward with it in an easier place, because now everyone knows you understand what is being asked of you.
> That being said once you've been a whistleblower, even for good reasons, sadly, it is probably harder to find another job in your previous area of expertise...

Playing devil's advocate, I could see how something like that could legitimately take place in a similar situation as the previous employer may feel abused / betrayed, rightfully or not, once he sees a success that he may believes not being possible if it were not for giving some slack to his employees.
I've been wanting to build something like this since the last time I seen this posted here.
Wow, I didn't realize how messed up the West Coast is. In the midwest we can go to state school for ~15k/year total cost and get a job pretty much anywhere as long as the gpa is ~3.2.
