Honestly, it'd be pretty interesting to see an article like this which continues after the 'approved for ad networks' part and shows how such a site could rank in Google, do well on social media sites, etc.

Could be interesting to see how scammers are doing that, and lead to some potentially interesting insights about black hat SEO, social media marketing, targeted ads, etc.

Because yeah, as you said, getting approved by an ad network is only part of the story, and not very much of it at that.
Making money in developer education is especially difficult. Especially if it isn't the specific core of what you are building. Surely there is plenty of education specific resources there, but it isn't as focused on it as Codecademy for example.

The last funding round closed in November 2018 at $30MM, which is a considerable sum - but it's been a year and a half since then and head count of 100-ish people does begin to accelerate the burn rate especially if the eyeballs and users haven't converted into paying customers.

Another way to look at it would be to ask "how much power would the factory need to charge all the batteriers as it produces them?" A gigawat factory would need a gigawatt electical connection dedicated to charging. That logic suggests that the largest factories will most certainly not be charging thier batteries.
Network topological discovery is the hard pill to swallow with p2p based tech. You're paying for it in much higher network bandwidth, cpu, battery, and more.

Eventually the tradeoffs will be so minuscule that they will be a rounding error. But right now, that's not true.

Hrm... I wouldn’t really glorify what Chinese software companies do. Tencent literally has Github repos that are existing open source projects, iterated on a little bit, with all of the copyright notices and license replaced. (Or, at least one of them is this, anyway. I kind of don’t want to specify which to avoid drama for the specific developer, but if you google names of repos you’ll eventually find one library that, under the exact same name, already existed, with some oddly identical code.)
My workplace has a white noise generator built in to the ceiling (we track how long it takes new hires to figure out that it's not a really loud fan). During blackouts, it shuts off and we're amazed at the difference.

Long story short, talk to your boss about investing in one of these. It helps me a lot personally.

it would allow to even more increase density, even beyond open floor office, so it is "better" for a specific corporate definition of "better".

If not for coronavirus, the next density increase would have taken like a decade too. Now we're going to jump straight into it. Into our personal cozy aquariums. Office dress code - goldfish.

It seems like there is not a lot of novel technology in an EV; what made them viable was steady improvements in battery technology so that the intersection between range, price, and weight is in a place that is financially feasible. Combined with continued improvements in battery, the already huge gain in fuel efficiency (for a typical car at least) will be what causes them to overtake ICEVs.
Bees are amazing and woefully underappreciated. I had a garden going year before last, and some bees would come and just take care of the pollination for me. Last year though, no bee bros.

Shared whiteboards and a good audio connection are FAR more important than most videoconferencing solutions. Microsoft's Surface line kicks Apple's iPads around the block here, at least partly because the Surface "pen" has a built-in "eraser", but Apple's "pencil" doesn't. Windows Whiteboard is a pretty decent starter solution here, and runs on both Windows and iOS. Run in conjunction with Zoom or Teams, it's a pretty darn usable setup.

Average life expectancy is a really flawed metric to measure the effectiveness of healthcare systems, because there are a ton of non-healthcare related confounding variables that impact average life expectancy. Anyone that dies early brings down the average life expectancy, and that includes suicides, homicides, drug overdoses, and car accidents. The US has more traffic fatalities per capita than any other Western European nation. The US has more opioid deaths per capita than any other Western European nation. The US has more gun-deaths per capita than any other Western European nation. While each of those problems have their own political causes...none of them have much to do with the underlying healthcare system, so using it as a metric to measure the quality of the healthcare system in question is ill-advised.

All that being said, if we were to use this metric, for the sake of argument...these charts are quite illuminating, but not for the reasons you think.

If you plot them on a graph, you'll find that the most efficient healthcare system is actually one closer to the "idealized market"...in Singapore[1].

Also the comment to which you are replying is strictly talking about "government insurance". "Government insurance" is not the only way to deliver universal healthcare. Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Singapore all have thriving multi-payer systems. In Switzerland and the Netherlands, ALL insurance is private. In Singapore, while the government covers catastrophic care, 70% of total health expenditures are private. Singapore's approach is actually the closest to what a system might look like if you replaced healthcare-specific targeted subsidies with a UBI — most health expenditure is through compulsory health savings accounts.

The common theme is that there is some degree of government intervention/regulation and subsidy. Having the government be the sole payer is definitely an approach, but it's by no means the only approach, nor even the best approach.

"Universal healthcare" just means that everyone has healthcare, it doesn't necessarily mean that the government provides it for everyone. We have pretty close to "universal food" in most of the developed world, and the vast majority of the food system is delivered through the open market.

I have done this from time to time when debugging applications that run inside Docker. I'd bash into the container as root and then download and install my development tools and check out the repo where the code lives. Once the code is functionally correct, then I can worry about performance optimizations given Docker...
Because 10 years ago when I first started installing software from the command line on my mac, a large number of the packages I wanted to install were very outdated on MacPorts, and {CURRENT_VERSION} on homebrew.

Also `brew cask` is nice.

EDIT: also that Macbook had a 128GB HDD, so space was kinda precious, and MacPorts installing its own version of libs that were already on the system was literally taking up GBs of space.
Notarization is an additional check that ensures that Apple has not revoked permission for the software to run.
Mathematics Textbooks for Self Study – A Guide for the Autodidact
Electric cars of the era you describe could at least go. The approach described in this paper doesn't "go". Its goal is to "learn a simulator [to train a robotic agent] simply by watching an agent interacting with the environment".

The learning part is done by training on the output of an existing simulator. Obviously, if you already have the output of a simulator, you don't need to learn a simulator so the only real use of this approach is to train a simulator by watching a human agent interacting with the environment. So the idea is to eventually apply this thing to training robots to interact in the real world by watching how humans do it (this is not clearly stated in the paper; it's my charitable interpretation of the very poor motivation of learning a simulator from the output of an existing simulator).

The only problem is that creating an accurate simulation of a human's interaction with the real world (let alone an accurate simulation of the real world) is prohibitively expensive. Thus, for the time being, this kind of idea works only in very, very simple environments like PacMan.

So we don't yet have an expensive prototype electic car that nevertheless can do everything an er other kind of car can do. We have... not sure what. The description of an idea with an example of how such a thing could be achieved in the far future, when we can train robots to act like humans by watching us.

Pirate Bay is all magnet links now. Internet Archive serves most items as torrents while acting as a store of last resort. SciHub and LibGen are functional and available.

There are tradeoffs, but it will happen, even if it's TXT records for a domain that point to IPFS links (namecoin aside). The future will make it easier, but it works today.
The harder pill is IPv4 and NAT. It used to be easier to grab a static IP from your ISP, but those days are gone for many of us.

IPv6 could really foster a home network revolution, when it's finally in place 20 years from now.
Having a tidy interface is certainly a primary goal but there are others.

- Control over the size/shape of the sensor pad.

- Control over communication (i2c/spi/usb)

- Ability to explore gesture behaviors and expose simplified interfaces to the OS.

- Control over click feel/behaviors by customizing snap switch style, mount, and locations.

- Control over the touch surface finish. (Did you know you can laser cut glass screen protectors? Why are none of these touch pads glass outside of macbooks?)

- Open documentation on all of the above.

As for reading material I can't recommend anything as a summery (see my last bullet). Manufacture design guidelines are probably where you should start.

Osmo "base + reflector" for iPad, a document camera "whiteboard" for video conference.

>> A team worked through the weekend and released a free app to make this super easy (https://twitter.com/PlayOsmo/status/1241152565083090947).

>> While the base + reflector is not free, if you already have an Osmo game at home, you can reuse that.

The scrutiny is on Google due to their paperclip-maximizing promotion of specific Youtube videos and other content. This topic is about simple URL hosting, which does not involve editorializing. Your argument works just as well for an ISP, meaning it's a non-starter if we wish to retain any Freedom.
It may be a low bar, but being able to automate this (scraping website ansible playbook?), makes the effort required as near-nil. They only have to clear $50 to pay for ALOT of domains and hosting.
My address has been blatantly broken in Google Maps for years now

I recently moved, and found out that virtually every single web site from my credit cards to my bank to the library uses Google to verify address entry on the fly. The problem is that Google's database entry for my address is wrong. So any time I try to enter the address "123 Oak Street, Apartment Q" Google unhelpfully corrects it on the fly to "Oak Street, Suite 1." No amount of keyboard jockeying can override Google's on-the-fly autocorrection.

The solution I eventually came up with was to turn off javascript, then enter my correct address, then turn javascript back on to finish the rest of the form.

Of course, there's no way to contact Google about its error. Maybe in Google Maps? I dunno. How do you find an address that Google Maps doesn't know to tell it that the address it has is wrong?

Interestingly, I hear that iPads cannot be used on the ISS because apps will stop launching if you disconnect from Apple's servers for too long.
I second this. I'm quite puzzled by the apparent dislike for open source ideals expressed elsewhere in the comments here.

Licensing is a complex problem and open source isn't some magical solution. It isn't the right model for every usecase out there and that's OK! Pay to play is sometimes the only fair and workable approach from a business perspective, but that doesn't make it open source. There's nothing wrong with that though!

Using terminology correctly is important. Timescale gets the terminology right and I appreciate that. (I also think it's awesome that they're releasing this product for free.)

That is not true. The tensile strength of kevlar and dynema is higher than that of steel, while they have a density that is several times lower.
Never mind China's debt bomb. Their demographic bomb is bigger. It's going to look like Japan in 20 years.

If Xi can hold it together, maybe it will, but that's not a given.

It's a great idea. But on non-native Docker, like OSX, it's simply too slow. Even when it's acceptable speeds, I find my computer running at 100% CPU usage with the fan out of control.

Nix is a similar idea and makes the environmental identical for all developers. Makes on-boarding trivial. And speeds are "native" on all platform.

As a nice side effect: it normalizes all tools like sed, grep and find.

With that said, as a consumer of a Nix setup, it's about as easy if not an easier experience than using Docker[1].

But properly learning to create your own Nix packages, etc, involves a very, very steep learning curve. Far higher than learning the basics of a Dockerfile.

One thing that may help people who are generally like 'huh?' when it comes to GraphQL:

You can use GraphQL with SQL. This is about that.

However, you can also use GraphQL with NoSQL. AWS Amplify uses GraphQL with DynamoDB, and that's a pretty common stack in the AWSiverse.

You can't use SQL with NoSQL, obviously.

So, if you're looking to learn more about GraphQL, just realize the lessons here aren't universally applicable, though GraphQL-to-SQL is probably the best implementation, imo.

> It always seems to be government and media dictating the terms of the censorship as well, which should be very concerning.

I'm not incredibly shocked. This is on some levels history repeating itself. Media has historically been 'self-regulating', if only because they want to avoid having regulations imposed on them.

However, this also has the not-unintentional side effect of those self regulating bodies also acting as gatekeepers.

Another parallel to draw: When the Hays code was challenged due to 1FA, the MPAA created the 'rating' system, in which movies have their content rated on by an unknown group of people impose their moral code, and remember before the age of the internet, you -had- to hit certain ratings to have any hope of a decent number of people seeing your movie. Any Adults-only rating would result in the overwhelming majority of theaters refusing to show the film.

Sure, you could still release it somewhere else.

Sound familiar?
yeah cause quality of life is so much better earning 200k and living w/ room-mates or a small apartment over owning your own home and earning 120k.

I live in rural utah and work remotely doing freelance mostly, love it. We have 1GIG internet in most rural communities in Utah, though.
