Screw it. I guess those cities have to build it for themselves. And if they buy it, its theirs to maintain and use. Your "free" market has failed.

I wonder where I can send a resumé for this...
> seems to me to be a total failure of vision.

First, the market seems to strongly disagree with you [1]

Second, what seems to me a total failure of vision is trying to shoehorn something as new and disruptive as Bitcoin in the old and worn out yoke of currencies as they used to exist. There's paypal for that.

> You are the one who injected the straw man argument saying we should record professors and students

I did not.

> now you go even further to claim we're somehow arguing to record all people all the time to audit them

I mean, if you look at the what was posted:

> Have all classes and training sessions recorded so there's record for review of how accurately curriculum is being followed, what off the cuff side commentary might be made, etc - to weed out bad instructors, bad role models.

This does in fact seem like you're recording them all the time while they're in the classroom, is it not?
I'd say The City siphoning off tax money from governments who are cutting services is a bigger problem.
>Targeted advertising if done correctly can connect people who want to buy stuff with people who produce stuff with a minimum of waste.

What exactly is the waste? I'm assuming you're saying the advertiser doesn't "waste" money by advertising to folks he doesn't think will be receptive to his message. That may be true bit it's not necessarily a societal benefit. It's also most enriching the targeting companies, not saving the producers in this case. Google et al still collect the money that would have been spent on untargeted ads.

> People are able to waste less time and energy discovering what to buy and companies are able to waste less time and energy producing things that people don't want.

This seems a very generous and ad friendly interpretation that ignores other costs. Are there people who need Juul? Are there people who need fattening foods and soda? Is it possible that advertisers will prey on people's insecurities to sell them magic beauty creams?

>Targeted advertising can also enable companies to effectively communicate their value propositions more effectively to local communities, and will allow companies to resist the temptation to support efforts through laws/lobbying/etc. to 'flatten' culture; companies can now embrace rather than steamroll differences in communities.

Not sure what is being said here? If you don't by my product I'll lobby for laws you don't like in your jurisdiction?

At the same time we seem to be ignoring all the costs to targeted advertising including the main point of this suggestion, the adversarial collection of personal data but there are others side effects as well.
At the same time, if 1-2% of the planet's population had died over the course of a day, with deaths more common among the old and unheard of in children, it would be in the news for years - but life would have gone on with minimal interruption, and I think it would have been almost entirely forgotten within a few generations. It's only because there's a chance of stopping COVID that everyone cares so much.
> If everyone on this planet had solving death as their single-minded focus, we'd accomplish it within our lifetimes.

This is a particularly advanced form of wishful thinking.
Awesome place to work for!
Funny you mention that...

Really aside from Nikon, most AF protocols are fairly well understood and can be adapted to other lenses.

(in the case of Nikon, sometimes they go out of their way to break others using their systems/protocols without a license...)

But you can use larger mounts on a smaller mount (with care!) May not need a bigger tube, but perhaps a longer or shorter one.
They did not try to lower the gear on their first landing. It would have lowered. They raised the gear. It was in the commanded gear up (stowed position) when they landed and the indicator would have shown it was up.
Another one of those... eh
The one UX anti-pattern that needs to die for sure is what this site calls "self-spawning modals". They're not only on websites — iOS is very annoying with them for example.
"currency"
I don't think this is a valid argument, because it ignores the power imbalance between users and tech companies. A user is on their own, while a tech company has vast resources to nudge or force a user to behave a certain way. There has been conducted vast psychological research how to manipulate users psychologically - e.g. keeping them glued to the screen. Many more detailed choices are taken out of a users hand via forced updates or conscious functionality limititions. often, the only choice a user is left with is to behave exactly in the way the tech company intended - or stop using their product altogether. However, the latter choice might not be possible at all (e.g. if the service is essential or required as part of work or education) - or will incur significant costs, e.g. loss of your extended social network.
Say more, if you can! I'm not at all familiar with that project. Thanks!
What? In what world would anyone find that offensive? It sounds like you're making up a situation, then using it defend not speaking up about things.
I guess it means what we interpret "off the cuff side commentary" to be. I'm certainly not claiming we're going to attach a camera to people 24/7, but I think even in the classroom we should not be recording every interaction they have.
That actually happened in SE Asia.

One airliner had a couple of incidents, including a tail strike which damaged the pressure bulkhead, and then crashed.

That boosted the reliability average of all the other remaining airliners in the region.
> Look into real estate in london. An absurd situation.

It's absurd in a lot of big cities, simply because land is scarce and governments fail to see that this leads to a failing market. On top of this, they fail to plan the construction of new houses.
> Relationship therapists teach couples to use "I" language vs "you" language to express feelings

On the other hand, when a statement is made about you ("what you did is wrong") you always have a chance to discuss the facts. When a statement is made about personal feelings ("I feel offended by what you did") no discussion is possible any more: I can counter your interpretation of facts, but I cannot possibly argue about your stated feelings. You won, period. This seems to me the danger of the "I language".
By the way, I just arrived in London for holiday and am in self quarantine. Any suggestions on what I should do when I get out?
Our apartment building in Manhattan had one of these, it was super fun to fill! We also had a garbage chute... guess which one was more likely to get clogged when it was 98 degrees and 90% humidity mid August
It's not that easy to be anonymous with Bitcoin. Eventually you have to pay for Bitcoin, and that going to involve cash or trust, neither is simple.
Hey there, as mentioned elsewhere I'm an engineer on Relay. Our PM is busy right now so thought I'd jump in.

> Have you any comparisons between this and StackStorm?

Relay is very similar to StackStorm! One of the biggest differences between Relay and StackStorm, however, is that every step and trigger in Relay is just a docker container. You can basically run any container you want, but containers that are authored specifically for Relay are, obviously, better (integration with the execution environment, our secrets management service, etc.).

> is this only going to be a SaaS offering

This is another key difference between Relay and StackStorm: We only offer a SaaS right now. That's not to say that we won't eventually offer a self-hosted version (or some sort of hybrid solution for that matter)--it's just the approach we're going with for now.
What about the people who have not paid you?
Two DDoSes disclosed this week underscore growing menace
Missiles (and most other weapons technologies) are definitely a gray area. Yes, producing them means they can be used for bad ends. But not producing them doesn't mean they'll cease to exist. It means you can't challenge anyone else who has them, including bad actors.

Children unlikely to pass Covid-19 to each other, says provincial health officer
I was just about to share this our designer, who is always talking me down from modals, when I reached the bottom and discovered that our designer is in fact the author.

I seriously can't say enough for this message. Adrian helped us redesign our app 2 years ago, dispatching many many modals in the process, and delivering a huge increase in usability that our customers and users very much do care about.
>I still pick Nikon as my primary system, simply because the lens compatibility: old lens from the 60's/70's work fine on their FF bodies

It's worth noting that Sony's cameras are the descendants of Minolta, and the same applies. Any A-Mount (born 1985) lens should work, with functioning autofocus.
does RIAA/MPAA snooping rely on DNS traffic at all? I was under the impression that the only thing RIAA/MPAA caught people for was the act of sharing, usually in the form of torrent seeding, and this was done by third parties they contracted out to who would provide a list of IPs they caught seeding. Then the list of IPs were resolved to ISPs who were sent subpoenas where they thought they had a good chance of ISP cooperation. Is there some legal, warrantless wiretapping I'm not aware of?
"I'm not saying it's true, but what if it was true enough?"

You could speculate that about literally anything. It's meaningless conjecture.
Totally agree. This is just peeling the skin of an onion.

Who are the people in Russia that help Snoden live his day to day life anyway? Of course you can make the argument that of anyone in the world, Snoden has no choice...however then it just becomes an argument as to what constitutes not having a choice.
This touches on an interesting question which I think underlying some of the concerns here today: Who will build ARM chips comparable to an i7 say that I can go out and buy and plug into my machine at home?

No-one does now and it's not obvious who would as we speak today. But if the demand is there then even with lots of obstacles to overcome, of course, then they can and will.
“Instead of sharing your entire Contacts list in third-party apps, you can now type individual names to automatically fill their corresponding phone numbers, addresses, or email addresses in fields that request it. The autofill happens on your device, and contacts are not shared with third-party developers without your consent.“

This is pretty clear to me, you type a name, it’s looked up in your contacts by the OS, data is retrieved if there is a match and placed in the form. This is not the same as sharing an individual contact and allowing the app to continue to read it later, but still gives you a means to give contact data to an app without giving it access to the entire list.
I'd be very curious to hear if there are specific bits about the Rust language that you think make it harder to audit or that (so far) it's just the lack of experience.
trash chutes! tall buildings today, especially in NYC but many other places too, have trash chutes on every floor. It's very satisfying to open the door and hear my bag of kitchen trash hit the sides as it falls 250+ feet and slams into the bottom (which is a chute into a trash compactor)

one company that cleans them is called 1-800-CHUTE-ME

there is also a button in the elevator called "taxi". if you push it, it lights a red light on the end of the awning over the sidewalk out front. Back in the day, a taxi could notice it and stop. You see them around NYC but the taxis don't really pay attention to them any more.
Yup, I just wrote a blog post about recompiling the msr module and signing it with a MOK, as a way to keep undervolting functional while using SecureBoot.

Sad, I agree with the article though that they made some rather curious choices that didn't help their prospects.

I still have a Camedia C3030 Zoom for some reason with all the doo-dads (extra flash extension, XM memory cards) it had an awesome F2.8 lens and could take very nice pictures @ 3MP. I replaced it with an C5050 Zoom that had an F1.8 lens but gave that one away when I replaced it with a Canon SD550 (which for some reason I also still have :-)).

I joked on Twitter that the "big feature reveal" for Canon's 2020 DSLR would be that you could make phone calls with it. So much of the camera market was consumed by phone cameras.

While it has done wonders for bringing the price of sensors down, the really important bit of the camera, and the part where Olympus had an edge, are the lenses.

I hope whomever buys the camera unit can continue the tradition with some better choices.
What time do they specifically describe the Norman Door? I skipped around in the video and I got the general point (doors, like everything else, should make invalid options not look valid), but I couldn't stand the video's style enough to sit through the whole thing.

When pigs fly!

Can you imagine Mozilla CEO depleting her own compensation in order to sue a company the size of Comcast? What exactly are the claimed damages in this hypothetical lawsuit? The damages to Mozilla are _____ ? (This PR piece in Ars suggests the deal is solely to protect users. No financial details.) How about the damages suffered by users? (Whoops, they are not parties to the agreement.)

Quite the vivid imagination!

Maybe the "white knight" narrative really does work on some people.

It did shock me. That's an even more obscene enlargement than wild grass into polyploid wheat.
Thank you for pointing this out and making the implicit explicit for me.
I've had that question mulling around in my head for a few years.

Like others have mentioned, of course there's an element of luck. It helps to have a product that fits the zeitgeist.

But in my experience, the remaining 99% is all working smart and understand what and the "why" of the problem at hand.

The Google Ads technique is good, but only if you're working on a product with a known problem. For anything new... it probably won't be much help on it's own. It's useful though if you use to see how people try to solve known problems.

Best resources hands down IMO for understanding 0 to PMF are:
The Lean Product Playbook by Dan Olsen. Gives a good view on how products fit with the market. If the problem space is wobbly, the solution space will suck.
The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick (my favourite). Excellent book on user interviews. It's so good that I made a primer out of it: https://gum.co/DeSxL
The PMF Engine by the founder of Superhuman: https://firstround.com/review/how-superhuman-built-an-engine...
It's a more quantifiable way of approaching it.
Is the Sci-Hub archive available over torrent or some other P2P system? It would make it an absolute fools errand to take it down as it would keep popping back up.

Is there any clarification on how this MSR whitelisting will be implemented by end users? Or is there just going to be the global "allow_writes" parameters? I'd assume too that even with that parameter set to on, programs accessing the MSRs will still need the SYS_RAWIO capability.

I agree: social progress, political progress, economic justice all also happen one funeral at a time. Look at Congress, CEOs and corporate boards, academic and other major institutional leaders. They're all elderly, and we have no (in practice) ability to change them out except by waiting for them to die! If they all of a sudden couldn't die, they'd be there for eternity. Imagine 600 years of Strom Thurmond and Ted Kennedy!

Even if everyone with ethics refuses to work on something, you can still hire the people who lack ethics. There seems to be quite a lot of them.

A broad refusal to work on something that requires local labor might work, but you can hire software people anywhere.
Yes, more automated tests (TDD or not) do imply more code. The question is whether building and maintaining that code is cheaper than the fallout from the bugs that get through to the customer. And the answer to that is, after the team or product grows past a certain size, that equation always tilts in favor of having the tests.
I often find the pattern on websites that I visit the site for the first time due to a link, read maybe half a paragraph, and then get a modal popup asking for my email address to subscribe. I've never read any content from them before, how would I know if I want to subscribe? My phone is also in landscape mode, so the modal's close button is off the screen, and I can't scroll to it cause it's an absolutely positioned modal.

So the only logical thing to do is avoid the site in the future, they're more interested in extracting money from their existing readers than getting new readers. Sorry, maybe if you had let me read one article I may have liked your content.
There is a whole major plot in one of the Three-Body Problem books about this issue. It arises in maybe a kind of contrived way, but then it's explicitly posed in more or less the way you said.
It's a design decision and a good one, at that. Forcing 1 million developers to handle spaces properly while they spend 1 billion hours developing their software is preferable to 1 billion regular users having to remember to not use space, a perfectly good separator, in their 1 billion billions hours of usage of said software.
I've only done a little bit of mojolicious, but it's quite nice. The Mojo::UserAgent / Mojo::Dom tools are certainly great for writing web scrapers.
UK ISPs could offer to operate a Mozilla TRR DoH server for two reasons:

1. The deal major "as seen on TV" ISPs struck was that they would offer a configurable child protection style filtering to their users. Mozilla permits users to opt in to filtering, you just aren't allowed to filter by default, so an ISP provided DoH server which can be configured explicitly to filter would meet this requirement. NextDNS offers this, yet is in Mozilla's programme. If you just pick NextDNS from the drop-down in Firefox you get no filtering, if you sign up and pay them (or take the free offer) you get filtering of your choice, and DoH, with instructions on how to tell your Firefox about this (basically paste a per-user URL into a preferences window, the nice thing about DoH compared to plain DNS or even DoT is that in a URL your user identifier will be encrypted, improving privacy)

2. The government did not legislate a requirement. They've been burned before on the difference between public appeals to think of the children (generally broadly accepted by the populace, no legal fallout) and censorship laws (likely to be destroyed in the courts because it turns out people don't like being told what to read). All those famous ISPs chose to voluntarily censor the Internet (mustn't let kids see porn) and then since they had the capability to censor courts told them to also obey Hollywood's instructions (no Pirate Bay either).

A small ISP like Andrews & Arnold isn't censored. During sign-up it says "Do you need child friendly filtering as part of this product?" or something. If you click "Yes" it says sorry they don't want you as a customer, good bye and the sign-up process is over.

It's interesting that the DNS-based solution is considered "trickery", when I don't really know anyone except for very networking-focused people who can explain how anycast works to achieve the same thing. While BGP is definitely not magic, it feels way more magic to me than DNS.

The DNS-based solution, in comparison, seems way simpler to explain: get general location of IP of requester, send back the IP of a server in a DC closest to that location.
Do you think they would’ve taken the same actions if not for the safety net of the most generous unemployment benefits in a generation (if not longer)?
This. The R5, R6. etc. will change the game the same way the Canon 5DmkII did 10 years ago. It is going to be interesting.
I guess there is no solution to that.

That's kind of what Global Entry is. If you're willing to give up your privacy and have the gov't examine your profile as an individual, you can avoid be screened based on nationality alone.

Looks great! "Zapier for DevOps" would convey it a lot faster. It didn't click for me until I got to that part. I'm excited to try it out!

A couple things:

1) Please, please support some other config file other than just YAML. Even JSON would be an improvement, since you wouldn't have to change your config reader library. YAML has been a miserable nightmare to use in other tools like Open API Spec. I'm not alone in my YAML hate, either[1][2][3][4].

Implicit typing and semantic whitespace in a data file is insane. At least in Python, you're not unlikely to get an error if your whitespace is off. In a config file, you might just end up with dangerous/confusing behavior.

2) I'm surprised you used Relay, which is already used by Facebook. I don't think Facebook is going to care that much, but it's going to be really hard to Google this library.

> If the issue is that someone else is taking tests for the fakers, how do they know who's a faker?

I can only talk about what I've heard in India.

1) No test is done. An official with access to blanks just prints another one for $1,000. The govt. could match up tests with the complete list of pilots with authorized licenses and get an exact count.

2) An impostor does the written and practical (flying) tests. This is common in IT also.
