I think it all depends on what you use that data for. I have no problem with a developer tracking me throughout the app, as long as they use the data to improve their app. The same goes for crash reporting.

But as soon as that data is sold, or used to somehow push sales or content, then it becomes a problem for me.
In my youth I was "volunteered" to play piano accompaniment at church. There was probably more respectful way to get out of it, but closing minor-key hymns w/ a Picardy third, and major-key hymns w/ major or minor seventh (depending on mood), got me removed.

That is indeed evidence they got there by boat, although before DNA comparison it wasn't clear where they came from. (DNA sequencing has revolutionized determining where people came from and who various groups are related to.) It is not sufficient evidence of repeatable navigational skills. Setting out in a boat and luckily happening upon an island is very different from reliably navigating back and forth.

There are modern examples of people in lifeboats drifting incredible distances in the Pacific, with zero navigation.

People didn't accept that the Wrights had flown, either, until the evidence was indisputable. And rightly so, as it was an extraordinary accomplishment.
I'd disagree here.

On balance, your comment did gloss over the "taking money from two sources" issue, which is the point of the arrest.

I would be unsurprised if he was given several opportunities to come clean. He was arrested for lying over and over again. I’ve applied for and won government grants from both the NIH and DOD. There are clear places to list these conflicts in the application. There are additional times you are asked after you win a grant. And he is accused of then lying to a DOD investigator and investigators from the NIH.

He isn’t accused of any crimes for having a joint appointment. He is accused of lying about the fact that he had a joint appointment.

You want to know who's fault this is? Yours, whoever wrote this article.

It constantly complains that modern teens barely touch anything underneath the surface in tech but ironically completely smears over any of the underlying issues.

Let's have a think...

Do any of the mainstream tech publications cover low level programming? No.

Are any low level computer skills taught in college or other mainstream programming courses? No.

Do big tech companies give a thought to the quality of their software as long they can foist it on people? No. (Although you could probably argue that that isn't a new phenomena)

Garbage in, garbage out. Someone failed to protect the tech industry and it isn't these teens' fault that real programming is completely obscured. The best chance they have is getting into retro games so they can stumble across David Murray or Clint Basinger or the like.
Consistent Hashing – System Designing: What? Why? Where? Who? When? How?
I've been meaning to try and fix the wikipedia article again. I last did that and got into an obnoxious fight with jytdog. I heard a couple months ago that he dox'd and called to harass a wikipedian and then deleted his account ahead of anticipated punitive action. Without that person spending 80 hours a week to advocate his particularly narrow anti-plant medicine interpretation of what is correct with regards to medicine, biochemistry, and pharmacology on wikipedia, editing it again might actually accomplish something. I think I and many other editors that went up against jytdog are still carrying trauma that makes me reluctant to reengage but it's about time to try.

I’ve been playing with wireguard for the past few days for my personal network. It is likely that I just don’t know what I’m doing yet, but I’ve been having connection issues that I haven’t had with openVPN. One set of issues is from overlapping IP ranges (192.168.1.0/24 is bad news) and another with something I haven’t figured out yet when connecting from work. OpenVPN doesn’t have issues but wireguard does. My thought is the specific port is filtered by my work, but I’m using a rather obscure and high value port.

The curve is within a market. There are boring computers and exciting computers, workaday computers and toy computers, etc. Each has its curve.

Compare to automobiles, what gets shown at shows or on the track, what is limited edition, and finally what is high end then mainstream then outdated.

The high end buyers want them some of that enthusiast kit — without the high maintenance and visits to the mechanic.

That’s even true within a brand line, buyers want stuff they see getting played with over on the left of the chasm by competing enthusiasts, and they want their brand to adopt it too.
Completely agree. Kids these days ... :)

I had my own Windows 95 PC (120 MHz Packard Bell) that I saved up lawn money for (my dad agreed to pay 50% for my first computer). I wanted to learn programming, but found the C and C++ books my parents bought me to be really dense. So I taught myself QBasic (and TI Basic on my TI-83). If I had had anything like the youtube videos, online tutorials, blogs, Stack Overflow, etc. that modern folks have, high school would have been completely different.

I have a friend who taught himself the DOS prompt on his parents' computer when he was in early high school. He had no access to any materials (this was before the internet was available); he literally typed every possible combination of letters and discovered the commands (dir, cls, move, del, ren, etc.) and tried to infer what they did.
Emacs existed back then, and it auto formatted on save.

Hmm, I guess we found the breeder?

Not even sure where to begin with this, circular reasoning?

Have you perhaps considered that these intelligent people have considered tgat passing on their genes is not as valuable to them as other things they might value? I'd posit you haven't, and further, you shouldn't consider yourself among them.
> There's an entire generation that's growing up with "why bother with privacy I've already lost it". They're comfortable living their lives out in the open and prefer convenience

I really don't think that's a fair assessment. Yes, people are comfortable living their lives in the open, and people do prefer convenience, but is that really because they don't care about privacy? Or is it more because we have all the abilities to do this?

If you grew up before that ability, did you really have all that privacy? Or did you only have it because of the lack of technology, and not by choice.

> the prevalence of porn games on Steam (which broadcasts what you're currently playing to friends and anyone who looks at your profile), and the popularity of porn tube sites

What does this has to do with privacy? Maybe the current generation is just more open about the fact that they look at porn, or play some porn game. It's really not a taboo subject anymore, we all know everyone does it, so why hide it?

No, my point is that it is extremely common to take money from two sources, or even more! Nobody batted an eye at this, and in fact even today nobody bats an eye, unless one of the sources is in China. In that case it becomes "luring talent" and "IP theft", with all the trappings of selectively applied moral principle.

Real IP theft would look like, say, abducting thousands of German scientists at gunpoint [0], not giving scientists grants to set up labs.

I was actually thinking that technology has become so efficient that 'cloning' $1 bills has become profitable, in the past I've only heard of counterfeit $20s and higher.

If this is about customary fake Chinese money, the type that they usually burn on Chinese new year or funerals I'd be quite disappointed with law enforcement for spreading anti china propaganda. However, according to CPB

During the examination, CBP discovered 45 cartons of possible counterfeit currency in the form of $1 bills with a total face value of $900,000. The United States Secret Service was contacted determined the currency is counterfeit.

In other words it's so well done that it may be hard to tell whether it's counterfeit or it's simply real money.

Re VoltDB:

>In VoltDB, all replicas for a given shard are updated synchronously by the client application. This is where VoltDB pays a significant performance penalty for write operations when compared with Raft/Paxos-powered distributed SQL databases. Distributed consensus protocols like Raft and Paxos require writes to be sent to all replicas but commit as soon as a majority of replicas have acknowledged the request. Waiting for all replicas to respond is not necessary since the consensus can be established with a majority. Additionally, VoltDB does not detect network partitions by default and requires a special network-fault-protection mode to be configured. When a node of the cluster gets partitioned, the network-fault-protection mode comes into play. It negatively impacts cluster performance by increasing cluster recovery time for not only accepting writes on the shards whose replica was lost in the node partition but also for repopulating the data on the partitioned node when it joins back the cluster.

Wow. Basically none of that is true.
Yeah I agree it would be nice to not be limited to Slack. I plan on offering it to Microsoft Teams, Discord and other popular chat services.

I have never seen ZenHub before. Thanks for sharing. I just checked it out and it looks like it's a browser extension. I've thought about doing something related to a browser extension but thought that would be more development for me and I'm not sure how cool companies are with an extension that could read your Github. I'll dig deeper on it.

Yeah I was going to offer email as an option as well.

Thanks for sharing all this =)
On a more serious note, there are a few features that the pro model has that the standard model does not. The pro has a usb C port instead of the lightning jack, the display can be larger and the 1TB version comes with an extra 2 gigs of ram. I suppose if you can justify paying more for any Ios device over Android, why not pay twice as much for the pro version? Maybe the pro will be supported for a longer period of time and wouldn't end up under a pile of magazines on the coffee table. (like my Ipad one is!).

Even when you know how to make fire (and the most efficient way to make fire) it's still super difficult. Try going outdoor and making a bonfire from sparks.
