I'm working on a startup called Longform, which helps book conversations between people and various organizations and, with the consent of both parties, forwards it to podcast feeds of both parties. One of the projects I've considered is creating a marketplace of other voices you can use, and directly stream that over the call. The primary motivation was to remove some apprehensions about hearing your own voice, help with anonymity, make them more comfortable with marking the material public, etc. Also its pretty whimsical so that's always good

How Ethereum’s Proof of Stake Saved the Ideology of Blockchain?
Reads to me like a slightly more general way of saying "this is not the time to specify an API in Rust that you intend to maintain in perfect backward compatibility forever". But if they said that directly they would be inviting a wave of counter-arguments that they most likely already went through themselves, repeatedly, considering how much love Rust is getting for in-tree use (where APIs can be refactored at will). I believe that their main issue is that they don't want to end up with the Rust equivalent of a Java API stuck with Vector and Enumeration.

> To have Medicare for all would require a Doctor and Nurses Corps, thousands of hospitals would have to be erected and staffed.

No, neither of those would be required. Existing hospitals, clinics, medical groups, and individual providers would just continue to operate, but reduce admin costs and staff because they'd only have to deal with far fewer payers (not just one, because the actual concrete Medicare for All plans aren't quite single payer and generally continue to keep at least Medicaid as a separate program.)

Who says there is going to be a hostile Senate after the 2020 election? Or, if there still is, after the 2022 midterm?

> A public option remains overall more popular than Medicare for All, according to a Kaiser Hospital poll.

You are almost certainly referring to the Kaiser Family Foundation, which is unconnected (except in history long past) with Kaiser Permanente, the insurer/provider/hospital organization. And note that both of those options have majority support (because support overlaps).

Support for end-developers means provision for built-in API and affordances. They won’t stop you from using something else for your Fuschia applications but you should not expect much if any help in getting it working or whatnot.
Still, a stationary power plant would have eminently doable in my not so humble opinion. Even stone for cylinder offers great compression strength. Make it big enough and the scale works out to your advantage. Bronze bearings could be made very durable.

They support C, so anything with a FFI to C can be used, just Google will not give people tooling for it or support it.
I wouldn't say it's fundamentally harder. It's fundamentally the same thing, because developers are users, and software development isn't the only domain where users have discerning tastes and needs that they want catered to. It's not the only domain where users will happily accept a steep learning curve for the years of use that will pay off that initial investment, or where shoving detailed information under the carpet can be a negative thing.

I think it would be arrogant to think of software development as exceptional in this sense, but it's certainly reflected in a lot of software designs. The reality IMO is that if you aren't working off a set of insights and observations like the one listed in the article—regardless of your users' domain—you aren't making enough of an effort to design for your users.
As someone who was at Microsoft and had connections in the IE team, I can tell you that Oddpost influenced IE itself, in that the team considered it a pretty novel thing to do with the browser and actually had the Oddpost dev team up to Redmond to pick their brains about how the browser should support these types of apps.

Only in part; they also specifically mention whether or not they will support use of each language by end-developers. (As you say, end-developers can use whatever they want, as long as their language has a C-ABI FFI, but that's not the same as being "supported".)

Apart from occasional experiments, I can't imagine this ever catching on as the "norm". Another reason to become a freelancer though. If you're a freelancer, you could alternate between 4 day workweeks and 3 day workweeks, and take a few months off every year.
Classic whataboutism - congratulations. This was not supposed to insult you so sorry if you work there O.o
Not supported, but I expect that some enterprising individuals, if there's enough interest, will write some rust bindings. They'll support a C ABI for end-developers, and rust's C interop story is just fine.

And there's no telling about the future; the Fuchsia team is certainly allowed to change their minds later and add supported SDKs.

I note that all those ecstatic quotes are from executives.

Because the way I remember it, technical people hated it with a passion, from its design to its implementation.

In fact, the most popular JS projects have always been to avoid writing ES5, its DOM API, or depending of one of its implementation:

- scriptaculous: we hate even the basic types, so we monkey patch our own code into it.

- jquery: don't use any of the language paradigms and use ones from Lisp and Haskell. Avoid "this". Don't touch the DOM. In fact, don't code, just make a few calls and pass parameters. And we rewrite the whole damn browser API to avoid incompatibilities.

- GWT: write JS from Java.

- underscore and co: let's rewrite typeof, the equality sign and array manipulation methods. And provide an stdib for god sake.

- coffeescript: we like Python and ruby but must do JS.

- React: HTML in JS now please. And magic DOM. Oh, and prototyping is horrible, lets use classes. And we strongly advice immutability, but do what you please...

- webpack and babel: ES6 and 7 are not here yet, but ES5 is so bad we will setup an entire ecosystem dedicated to make believe they are. Also pretend import works like in other languages.

- typescript: ok, we were wrong, ES7 is not enough. Not nearly enough. Please make intellisense works.

Now, in 2020, JS is finally not so horrible to work with. You can use map(), () => and "..." and fake namespaces. Which is amazing to access the crazy cool plateforms that the modern browsers and the web are.

So I guess, in a way, this quote from the AOL guy was true.
The quantum eraser does work with particles with mass. Here is a paper that performs the experiment with electrons (specifically a transmon qubit): https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/5/e1603159

It’s is indeed very difficult to build a good dating experience. I was working on a project that essentially used your bank account (via OpenBanking) as a gatekeeper.

This approach enables you to analyse transaction data and filter potential matches based on similarity metrics, E.g. social, health, travel, financial. Once you had a similar score it would present present a set of profiles that you could choose to try and match.

The idea was to filter out the noise and find people with similar social standing, interests, etc and then allow the single to choose whom they find attractive.

Linking a bank account would also provide an extra layer of security in that the user has already provided a form of national identity. I’m not saying this completely guards against fraud, but it’s certainly more difficult than creating a fake email address.

Unfortunately, one of the major problems was convincing users to link their bank accounts, let alone attempting to build what essentially is a marketplace.

> runs out of every single instance type you have requested, terminates your Spot instances, and you can't launch any more On-Demand ones.

This is more common than you think.

Internally cloud providers schedule instance types on real hardware, and running out of an instance type likely means they have run out of capacity, and only a tiny amount exists in fragmentation. To access that tiny remainder, they'll terminate spot instances and migrate live users (which they have to do very slowly) to make space for a few more of whichever instance types make most business sense (which varies depending on the mix of real hardware and existing instance types).

It takes someone like AWS a good few weeks, sometimes months, to provision new actual hardware.

It isn't uncommon for big users to be told they'll be given a service credit if they'll move away from a capacity constrained zone.

The microkernel is a pretty small component. It's like if 80% of the Linux kernel was Rust and 20% was C++.
I seem to remember the last model that works on is the T420, after that you are out of luck.
These "impurities" are mostly introduced into the mix in the blast furnace in the previous step in form of coal (coke). No coal, no pig iron, no converters.
Remember the kernel here is pretty small. A lot of stuff that's built-in to the kernel in e.g. Linux is implemented outside the kernel in Fuchsia, and a lot of that is implemented in Rust.
When there are no spot instances, it's common that on-demand instances can't be started either.

Unless you paid for a reservation, you're SOL.
> Redox does, but it's still early days there apparently. I tried to boot it in VirtualBox a few minutes ago, following some instructions on StackExchange[1] but it didn't boot.

Worth giving it another go. I've been playing around with it in QEMU lately, and it even booted on my laptop (but I had no working input since it seems USB HID isn't implemented). It's an impressive project.
Refusing to answer the question implies that he didn't want to admit that my suggestion was correct.
The news seems to mainly be reporting the 2% death rate when in fact it's more like 9% currently, so the panic could get much worse still.
> [EDIT] and then there's "what is math?"

Good remark. I wouldn't call arithmetic math, nor would I call using a Boolean expression math. I am currently working on a compiler bug that has to do with liveness analysis. That is an algorithm, which kind of is math, but the actual bug is just 'oh, for some reason the registers that the function arguments are passed in are not marked as live', and I wouldn't say that I had to use any math.

In my job, I'm usually either fixing bugs, parsing formats, making different API's work together by converting stuff or writing wrappers around API's. I wouldn't call any of this 'math', and if you'd ask me I have never used math at work (which is a shame really, because I really love math).

Why not... you could "just" during compilation split it into several functions and daisy-chain them if it came to that, by letting one calling the other with whatever state is needed to transfer. I'd bet it could even be part of a simple optimization pass. Single assign semantics help with eliminating useless scope and all that.

Craigslist and Tinder work because it's no more risky than chatting with a stranger at a bar

Um, take a look at what Tinder demands in terms of device privileges.

I understand the rationale behind https-everywhere and I believe it's absolutely necessary for the web at large. The problem of network attackers is certainly real.

However, a side-effect (intentional or not) is that the web is turned into a sort of app store: Either you belong to the platform or you don't, and whether or not you do is decided by third parties. (Who, btw, are not even bound by any kind of public mandate - they are simply private, profit-driven companies)

I also don't think the stated security advantages always make sense: Let's Encrypt will serve network attackers just as easily as legitimate customers. Meanwhile it will lead to a lot of stuff being exposed on the internet than would be necessary otherwise. We also force devices that simply should expose a local web interface to have a cloud service. I don't see how this makes anything more secure.

I guess what I'd want is simply a way to designate a device as "trusted" locally, without depending on third-party services, internet connectivity or anything else and without anything expiring.
A way that should be encouraged to be used by non-techical users as well.
The commitment to FUD and aversion to googling stuff was impressive, I have to admit.

And how much developer time did it cost?

We have done the same - our bills went down, but not by as much as 80% I think closer to 50%. But it took a fair bit of developer time, and we now have a lot of Kubernetes related problems to deal with. I guess those will smooth out over time, but I don't think anyone ever factors in this stuff when they claim great savings. Developer time ain't cheap.

On a plus note, running multiple small boxes via Kubernetes does give you a more high availability system. If one instance goes down, there will still be another one available, so it's not all negative.

> And the input matters, a lot. So the differentiating factor isn't the models, it's the data and companies like Google figured it out a long time ago.

The models are likely also a differentiating factor in a sense that there are models that perform much better than others, to a point of completely new functionality. But also all of these models are basically open source currently... So they can't by definition be differentiating between different companies, because all of the companies generally have access to all of the algorithms. At leat to all of the types of algorithms.

Reddit’s 2019 Transparency Report
As somebody who has been in art school I think "putting it out there" in some way can do wonders.

E.g. plan to put it on your homepage or github. Or if it isn't suitable look to present it at some event, a local hackerspace or even to your friends or relatives.

By having a goal like that you are forcing yourself over the edge while at the same time making visible what you are doing all the time which both benefits you in the end.

While this can be scary, with the right audience it can be extremely gratifying to get recognition for what you're doing.

Edit: of course you really don't need to finish every project you start. Sometimes you learn so much during a project that you would actually so it differently if you were to start again.

It's important to note that there are not only "the mods", but two opposing factions in Wikipedia: the Deletionists and the Inclusionists. [1]

I too agree that we don't need articles on someone's cat, but I've had articles deleted as not notable on indie web comics and indie role-playing games with hundreds or thousands of readers or copies sold.

I thought that the fact that the RPG was published and publicly available, and was being discussed in RPG forums would make it notable enough, especially when it was mentioned as an inspiration for rules in more traditional RPGs. But since they hadn't been mentioned in any published articles they were deleted and there was no real way for me to fight it. I had added stuff like the list of contributors, publishing year, and overview of the rules and setting, with no personal discussion of the game.

The result was that I stopped trying to improve Wikipedia, because I don't have the time or interest to fight people with an infinite amount of time that deletes my additions. My main contribution to Wikipedia wouldn't have been on the articles on Barack Obama or World War II anyway, as they already have people who are experts that add information. I could have brought information on my specialized topics of interest, but realized that they would all seem non-notable to someone who's not interested in the same thing and would be deleted.

I think most people over-estimate the need for availability anyway. It's tempting to build the very best you can, when in reality a business really needs a good-enough solution. A whole ton of software can be down every weekend if needed.

A great in-between is to simply have a backup server ready to go in a few minutes time. Super simple compared to orchestrated container system.

Of course for client projects that spec out a certain number of 9's must be done just so, but can also be billed accordingly.
