The problem is that neither the government or police are really accountable for abuse of these powers.

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, the police have admitted previously they’ve abused surveillance powers to blacklist innocent people from construction jobs simply for being members of trade unions. [1]

No body went to prison for that or lost their job and no governments were brought down because of it.

A few companies paid compensation but some are still fighting it in court.

Until we can point to examples members of the police or security service being in someway sanctioned for privacy abuses I don’t think anyone can say that the system is working.

Also, ios is “easy” when it comes to doing react-native. So by doing the hard one first, they have a lot more confidence in the rest.
> The first is a tooling team that helps with engineering setup, integration and deployment. The second is a foundations team that focuses on SDKs, code reuse and open source.

They have a whole team to set up tooling for React Native. I wasted many days trying to do this work on my own.

They also have a whole team for evaluating 3rd-party libraries that provide functionality missing from React Native, such as letting the user hide the keyboard on iOS. I wasted weeks on this and finally gave up on React Native and switched to Flutter.

I think React Native needs some attention from user-focused PMs and engineers before it is ready for adoption by small teams.
I don't think there is a treaty about it. These satellites are in space, not in the air. Around 100km usually is used as the boundary or, more practically, as high as your anti-aircraft missiles can go. It does not really make sense to claim everything up in a cone from your country to infinity. Multiple countries claiming different planets at different times would be weird.

SpaceX got approval to launch these satellites from the FCC.
>Even at a greatly reduced orbit, I can't believe that bouncing up and down via satellite as part of your link could be any part of a time-arbitrage recipe in 2020 and beyond ...

Really? Just some rough napkin math here, but only photonic bandgap fiber reaches near light speed (~99.7%) and I'm not aware of any large real world deployments of that or even near future ones. Regular fiber is only around 70% c. Transmissions through air (and obviously near vacuum as it exits the main atmosphere) are very nearly c. So from a latency perspective Starlink should in principle have up to a 42% inherent raw transmission speed advantage right? So that then has to go against the extra RTT to get up to a satellite and back. It looks like the lowest V-band shell is planned to be at just 210 miles, with another shell at 340 mi, and a final Ku/Ka-band shell at 710 mi. I don't know if the lowest shells are supposed to have any point to point mesh capability or must go to a higher shell first, but if they can that's only about a 420 mi inherent RTT penalty. For a link over 1400 miles, that seems like it might give them an advantage. Of course, there will be other routing factors, but then again on the fiber side only a few links (NYC to London for example) are actually really point to point optimized, most routes around greatly separated parts of the world have their own extra distance penalties due to transmissions having to take the legs of triangles rather then the hypotenuse.

I'm not an HFT person, but I assume there is probably arbitrage to be done between, say, NYC/London and Tokyo or other Asian exchanges and the like too. A lot of those are 6000 to 7000 mi, something like NYC to Sydney (ASX) approaches 10,000 mi. At those kinds of distances even if the signal has to go all the way up to the outer shell to mesh it looks to me like it could still beat a conventional fiber transmission right? I don't know if HFT firms will be that core as customers or how important they are in the scheme of things here, but a rough check certain seems to indicate there should be potential there in terms of the physics and what infrastructure is current deployed.
The business model was flawed, in that they were over-optimistic about getting theater partners to buy in and sell discounted tickets to MoviePass. $10 for unlimited films anytime? Not going to work. But $15-18/month for unlimited matinees, or Mon-Thu, or any film 3+ weeks old? Those models are absolutely viable, and would provide revenue and attendance boosts for theater chains who partnered with MP.

Worth noting that AMC, the theater chain which was most vocal and aggressive in dismissing MoviePass, has seen its stock fall by 80% since early 2017 to an all-time low. CINE, an international conglomerate which owns Regal, is at a 5-year low.
This is a really good point, and one I feel a lot of SEO articles and sites seem to ignore. The niche you're in makes a huge difference in how easy it is to market your work.

As you say, developer focused content is easy to market online. There are tons of blogs and news sites willing to let you write guest articles or link to your work, people tend to share articles about the topic on a regular basis and sites like this one provide a perfect place to share the content too.

Same goes with the gaming and general tech fields too. They're all very easy to build links in, and provide plenty of free traffic opportunities in general.

Many niches aren't like this. They don't have the same number of enthusiast forums and subreddits, people are less likely to share content about them, and the news sites focused on them are either money focused or not interested in giving you a shot at all.

Then there's stuff like gambling, adult content etc, where no one in their right mind will ever link to your site, and where even the ad networks will tell you to get lost. Good luck marketing those without blackhat SEO, or some other way to game the system.
Hey guys I recently launched Homematchx.com as an interactive way to connect future home and buyers at similar stages of the real estate process. Unlike other real estate listing platforms that shows move-in ready homes in less than 30 days, Homematchx list future homes and buyers at various stages of the real estate process to empower users to find the right match to close when they’re ready. Everyone has a plan and a price! Why wait until you're 30 days from buying or selling when you can find the perfect match to extend the closing date at your convenience.

that the iPad can be your first and primary device

For tens of millions of people it can be.

Evidence: Hundreds of million of iPhone users who do not have computers. It's why Apple started iCloud backup and restore for the iPhones — So people without computers can upgrade without losing all of their data and settings.
This.

The author should use a multi-stage build where one stage is used for building the missing wheels. Those should then be copied over to the final stage.

No need to install any build tools in the final Alpine (or Debian) image. The Alpine image will definitely be much smaller.
Consult the original source: http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mjh/starlink-draft.pdf
>but they surely prohibit taking for granted that microdosing is a placebo. What little evidence there is tilts away from that.

No, I don't believe that's true. In fact, this meta study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6364961/

actually explicitly mentions that the body of research doesn't support your claim about microdosing and placebo.
That’s an impressive series C size.
Arcane knowledge? That is pretty basic stuff for anyone doing Web since the HTML 3 days.

Have you ever done native Android, including using the NDK?

It is full of arcane knowledge, scattered about commit comments, medium, G+ and Twitter posts from Android team instead of being on developer.android.com, APIs introduced in one IO are deprecated/replaced by the next IO, OEMs (cough Samsung) that change AOSP behaviours,...
You are saying that step (2) has no effect on patent X from step (1), and thus patent X still enters public domain in 2020, correct?

Note- I understood this to be your position from your other comments. I asked the clarifying question to understand `pdeuchler`'s idea of the `evergreening` process.
Or, maybe they are much younger than we think, and we need to upgrade our dating methodology...
You wouldn't want to power directly from the panels without a battery. It would cause high instability on cloudy days, possibly leading to file system corruption.
As are PureScript and Elm. Maybe "lazy" is just no longer a good name for the branch as a whole, given that it keeps growing new eager leaves.
I really don't see why it couldn't be done. Take a look at the documentation: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.2/tutorials/networking/hig...

To be fair though, in anything where minimal latency is important, the networking comms should probably be done outside the game engine, but I think just doing protyping with the networking api and then seeing if that is needed would be the way to go so you don't create work that isn't needed.
Yes, pretty much since most ISPs do not block UDP port 53.

I have no reason to run DNS on a home internet connection. What would a sane use case be? They don’t block it because it would be stupid to use it anyway.

Ports that are typically blocked include 67, 139, 161, 520, 547, etc.. ie dhcp, rip, smb, snmp... none of them are any great loss to those that want to run a vpn.

Running a VPN or ssh service is another story and it works fine both TCP and UDP.
> A couple of years ago, they were talking about how they wanted to offer free internet to all passangers (with enough bandwidth that everyone could stream HD movies, thanks to the new satellite they launched in 2017). I'm not sure how the rollout is going, though, or if the airlines want to do this. I guess the airlines can make a fortune overcharging passengers for internet.

The only thing that makes sense to me right now is what airlines are already doing: serving cached video from a server on the airplane.
iMessage suffers from the same interoperability problems that most Apple software does -- they don't really consider use cases that don't involve Apple.

Hangouts for example understands how different carriers handle different types of data differently, and accounts for that when sending messages. So when you send to a group with different capabilities, it adjusts accordingly and automatically in the background.
I can't know how big a SysEx message is until run time, which makes buffering them somewhat complicated when you don't know what's in the SysEx message.

This isn't uncommon in serial protocols, but MIDI has been lifted several layers above the UART it was designed for, and one of its strengths for everything but SysEx is that you exactly how big messages are going to be and preallocating space for them is trivial.
Exactly. This is what I always do.

I would never want any build tools in the final Alpine image.
Ideas are free for all, you can work on it. Let me know your progress and I can use and give feedback, I already have a never ending backlog. I'll probably approach it simply by using a bunch of scripts glued in. The dry run I used today was OBS on Linux to record both a window and the webcam. I haven't explored on if I can trigger it via cli and automate. My email is in my profile if you wish to reach me.

The template of trickle down economics I'm referring to is the method where the already wealthy/profiting and so on, is given immediate benefits under the premise of vague and long-term benefits for the many. This method of upwards redistribution has been applied repeatedly time and time again, and tax cuts in the style of trickle down economics are just one instance of it.

> Just for fun, give me some examples of drugs that are merely "superficial/vanity related". I think you're trying to construct a straw man.

Once again, it was one example, I was mainly thinking about hair loss or other male things caused by men, historically and still, earning more.

My main point was that the profit motive causes this kind of skew:

"Scientific publications brought the evidence that there was a lack of news drugs for diseases that cause high mortality and morbidity among people living in poor areas. One showed that only 1.1% of new drugs were approved specifically for neglected diseases over a period of 25 years (1975 to 1999) despite the fact that these diseases represented 11.4% of the global burden"

> It's certainly true that the free-market does not guarantee alignment with the public interest. It's also true that over-regulation is one of things that causes such misalignments.

I would argue that "free-markets" is the exact reason for anti-competitive regulations, among others, in the form of regulatory capture, which is inherent with capitalism.

Good question; I went and took about what he wrote about this month and I thin I found the answer: he doesn't write about ground breaking ideas <i>every</i> day. Usually, just little tricks he knows or code snippets he's written that might be useful. Two days he just lists printable vs non printable ASCII characters.

So, posting regularly appears less about creating the perfect ideas to blog about and more about just posting something, even if its only an ASCII chart.

Try an ASCII chart; it might make a good initial blog post!
After looking at the doc, it seems Protonmail uses GPG and computes the keys on the client device. (So I was wrong in my reply earlier).

However, when you send an unencrypted email with Protonmail, they claim that they encrypt the email at rest, but the claim is not verifiable.
Thanks for the reading suggestions. And of course I am already thinking about the questions you mentioned and have been for a long time.

I agree that politics, ideology, and mass opinion matter a lot, and never meant to imply otherwise. Indeed in some of my posts I touch on how those factors might have affected technological developments. (See e.g. my analysis toward the end of my smallpox post: https://rootsofprogress.org/smallpox-and-vaccines)

Agree also about the importance of models & priors.

If there's any place where you think my specific factual conclusions are in error (whether from bad models or any other error), I always appreciate specific rejoinders.
The article brings up an interesting legal point as to whether bitcoin will be afforded the special legal status of paper cash that protects innocent recipients who accept stolen money ... but really paper cash has no such protections when you're talking about millions of dollars of it, so the point is entirely moot.
Also, you can use a refrigerator at night... the cold IS the battery.
You make a fair point but it's one about the current state of apps rather than the future of apps. In the future phones will be more powerful and apps will do mostly the same stuff. In theory that should mean the apps will be faster.
Very well put. This is the factor that separates good websites that feature writing with personality, from "content marketing" style articles.

The latter is why surfing the web feels like such a chore today. All the top ranking search results these days are from corporate websites who have no interest in providing useful information beyond the bare minimum they need to put out before trying to sell you something. They all write keyword-optimized articles of a certain length (like those recipe websites).

The titles of these posts reek of SEO thirst, and read like a giant pile of text that a bot threw together.

Blech.
He was trying to minimize his tax bill. He hired a tax consultant who ended up being fraudulent. This same consultant also introduced him to other fraudsters who extracted money from Sarao.
I think we will need some examples to support that claim.

Retail is one. Any retail company that doesn't have a legacy system to integrate with uses iPhones and iPads for their POS systems.

Logistics is another. According to an ex-girlfriend who works in LTL, the logistics industry is 90% people with iPads and iPhones. The only people who aren't using mobile devices for their "real work" are people like her who are chained to a desk doing back office stuff.

Tradesmen is another. When my water heater burst, the water heater guys, the plumber, the guys who replaced the floor, the guy from the gas company, and the guys who replaced the walls all took pictures of the situation before, during, and after to document what they did. Copies went to me, to the landlord, and to their office.

That’s still just one factor on the tunnel itself, which is the problem. If the keypair is discovered somehow, attackers could connect to your network without 2FA. Or am I missing something?

So what software can I use now to make 2FA work with WireGuard that’s simple to use - as simple as OpenVPN (cert+user/pass is trivial in OpenVPN and supported in their clients).
Native controls can afford to be richer (in principal) because knowledge transfers across apps. Websites do not enable such transfer: there's too much of a culture of customizing everything. On mobile the problem is somewhat less noticeable because rich native interaction models haven't really emerged.
Any support for languages other than English?

Does it do normalization as part of the typo search (in case of missed/incorrent accent marks, etc)?

Does it do stemming at all? For English or other languages? (ie, I search for "run" and you show me documents for "running" or the other way around).

Any support for Chinese text (which typically doesn't have whitespace between words)?
One use case I imagine would be for folks that live off-grid, but still want to have some home automation. Realistically these folks are using large banks of batteries, large solar panels and big inverters, but there is no harm in optimizing the load for long run time when there are periods of low sunlight and wind.
I don't think so. DoH deals more with streamlining the transmission of requests and responses, but I don't recall any part of the RFC dealing with TTLs.

You'll still be talking to your local DNS server with its own caching rules.

> Any software engineer should be able to learn a new language. The idea that you have to higher engineers who already know the language, particularly a high level general purpose one, seems suspect. It's not like they're writing some low level Rust or C code.

Yeah, I agree. And I'm doubtful that the time it would take for one or two competent people to come up to speed in Scala is less than the time we're spending to port the entire thing over to JS. It's months of engineering time. That time could have been spent improving the existing codebase rather than the much riskier option of porting to a new language. And then that team would have the Scala engineers it needs, for ongoing work. Or at least a shared resource to help out.
This is really cool.

Why is it called "Linux report" instead of something else like "Nerd Report" or "Tech Report" or "Keith Report"? How do you filter for Linux relevance? E.g., the top article under Slashdot is "Apple Has a Putin Problem", which doesn't obviously seem to have anything to do with Linux. Thanks!

It's all going to depend on prices and we don't know how they will be set.

General rule of thumb, until you have revenue and customers you should take the smallest amount possible while not putting yourself in any danger, health wise or other. That holds true until the Founders have found revenue basically.

It is very common to pay yourself minimum wage or so. If you are older and have more responsibilities it is fair to pay somewhat more but just keep with rule #1 above. For a multi-time founder with solid exists it wouldn't be unheard of to see a six figure salary because they have proven their worth. But in most cases you'll see even those prior founders taking the smallest amount possible, it is just that as they gain in personal responsibilities their costs go up so yea they are paid better.

I know it isn't a number, but hopefully that helps a little, it is pretty generic advice because it is also something very specific to the person and situation.
In this particular case all of the people without premium cards who pay with cash or debit cards with no rewards are paying for our free lunch and flight to Hawaii. It's a tax on basically every transaction, paid to those participating in the rewards scheme

The lunch is not free. You're buying it for us.
Still with the gate keeping.

"Real work" is only real if it agrees with your narrow world view.
I'm new to search libraries (frameworks?) but have been looking for something to use for a huge data dump I'm working with.

Storing everything in memory seems fast, but seems like it'd be quite the resource hog on a server -- is that a normal approach to take?

It's reassuring that the examples and documentation all revolve around books (as my data set is actually ~55 million books also), but since theirs seems to be quite the subset of that I worry about how well this scales and I don't know enough about search libs to even evaluate that.

Is there a good place to start learning about what kinds of situations Typesense works best in (besides needing a Levenshtein-based search), versus what kinds of situations it wouldn't work well in (and perhaps what other libraries would work better)?
Thanks! It is a small project in Flask, including caching and customization.

I don't have a dark mode yet, but maybe someone who cares will fork it on GitHub or GitLab ;-)
Are there any commercial products available for this or Pi-holes?
I'm wondering the same thing and how the result compares to what we have found up till now.
