Quite different. Old homepages were more "building" less "sharing". Beyond the coding, there was planning and categorising. You put thought into the interface and structure.

Seems like a small thing but its the difference between being a hobby mechanic or just owning a car. Or buying a desktop vs building one. You end up with the same thing, but "feels" like a very different endevour.

My general impression of the original nuclear powered aircraft project in the US is that it wasn't necessarily infeasible to make a flying reactor, but shielding for anyone on board would be too heavy, and ultimately there was no real mission that required it so it was cancelled.

I have a Facebook account, but rarely log in (maybe once every few months or so). I just logged in to check, and I don't see any news in the feed. The only thing I see are posts from old classmates and similar who still use Facebook.

I even logged in using incognito mode, using both Firefox and Chromium without any adblocker and I still didn't see anything except for posts by friends (and a few ads of course).

Perhaps I'm not getting anything else because I rarely log in, so they are hoping to get me back in by showing me stuff that I'm more likely to want?
I've worked on similar things in the past; I think this idea (A distributed compute + storage network) in general, is great. However, although Homomorphic encryption is pretty cool, it's not that fast. AFAIK, current state-of-the art is essentially simulating Boolean gate arrays.

If anyone has any insight on the technicanal foundational feasibility of this, please share :)
I’m very disappointed in how you guys responded to this. As a privacy focused company I would not have expected an answer that sounds like it came from a data collecting company like Google.

I just switched to DDG browser a week ago and will now be looking for a new browser now. I hope you know this is not an appropriate response to the situation. Especially because all you guys do is preach about how much you protect your users’ privacy. Now you’re here asking us to trust you not to abuse our data and just linking us your privacy policy. I’m sad to say that my faith in the DuckDuckGo company and team is now lost.

Tesla's motors run on 3-phase AC internally. (That's why the name of the company is "Tesla.") The trick would be finding a way to engage the internal inverter and then tap off it, possibly with a transformer to make it 120VAC. The conversion penalty of Tesla's internal inverter and your switching battery charger are going to be quite small.

I'd be a little surprised if the new truck doesn't just have an outlet built-in.

People expect the stock market to always go up too. I don't think that is possible.

I'm not saying it can't be a local, situational problem, I'm saying it's not a universal fundamental wrongness in the way society is structured.

It's like, a certain number of heart attacks happen each year. We may see a trend in heart disease over time. There could be some environmental reason for it. But extrapolating the current trend indefinitely and drawing the conclusion that there is something fundamentally wrong about the human heart's workings that requires a new mechanism is probably excessive.
An open source messaging app that actually does end-to-end encryption regardless of whatever law? It might be less convenient to use, but people who feel they need to encrypt their stuff, will be able to do it anyway. So the end result will be just less privacy for people who "have nothing to hide".
You might enjoy reading about Taiwan’s experiments in this direction [1]. They’ve used an online system to craft 26 pieces of legislation now with public participation. Now quite full-on “governance by git” but a very cool step in that direction.

This is a wonderful idea. I've been using a 1500W inverter on my two-battery diesel truck but even 1500W is not quite enough for a lot of jobs.
That sounds extremely unlikely – apps don’t have the ability to do that.

The only way an app can charge an in-app subscription is by asking iOS to prompt the user. This shows a system-controlled prompt telling you the price and that it is a recurring subscription. The prompt only allows you to purchase if you authenticate via Touch ID / Face ID / password, or if you have recently authenticated and have enabled the setting that skips this. Additionally, the App Store rules require that the screen that triggers the subscription also includes details on the subscription. Apple can and do reject submissions to the App Store if apps don’t comply with this.

There simply isn’t an API that lets apps set up an in-app subscription without going through the system-controlled prompt. There isn’t an API that lets apps "convert" a one-off payment to a recurring payment. Apps have no access to set up payments themselves, everything has to go through Apple-controlled, user-visible prompts. If somebody is being charged unexpectedly for a subscription, there’s something else happening, e.g. a partner who knows your password set it up, or you just forgot.

As far as Apple’s motives are concerned, they put a lot of effort into enforcing the rules around in-app purchases, reject a lot of apps on that basis, and err on the side of caution. I’v seen a lot of incorrect and overly strict rejections for apps that follow the rules. If Apple were in any way keen on accidental subscriptions, this would not be the case. They go out of their way in the opposite direction.
Experienced photographers seem to agree with you; I certainly do. The one obvious, visible thing that differentiates expensive cameras preferred by professionals from consumer models is that the former have a greater number of dedicated, physical controls. It’s much better to just move your thumb, rather than take your eye from the viewfinder to look at a screen and dig through a menu!
There is plenty of neutral material out there. You can always supplement that with secular material. Think reading comprehension etc. For printed workbooks, I really like Evan-Moor. I bought a bunch of them for my daughter for the Summer.

Saxon Publishers use to be the gold standard for homeschool kits, but they switched up the material. You hear many complaints about it over the years since the change. I was fortunate to get a used kit for math before my daughter turned 5.

There are other sites like ixl.com that are good if you want adaptive problems on a computer. They cover the complete common core.

If I were going to put together something for home use, I would seek out the very best videos on YouTube and I would embed them in html. You can minimize the auto suggestions and other videos they try to push on you being on the main youtube site.

Not so much the filesystem, more that assuming you have a server with a multitude of our customers HDD's attached as well as one or more tape libraries / drives, you need to:

* Map 1 to N HDDs to one customer (by USB port ID or perhaps SATA port if you shuck them for performance reasons, maybe a mix of SATA and USB drives) - will need to have some means of clearly indicating ports, or have blinky LEDs next to them and have the server indicate where stuff ought to be plugged in. And handle SATA hot-swap if required.

* Allocate a tape or tapes to them (and if they provide their own tape/s make sure to use specific slot/s in the tape library for that customer) and otherwise handle the tape library logistics. This becomes more complex if you have multiple libraries in play.

* Perform scheduling and ETA estimation to see if you'll actually get their data onto the tape within the deadline (you might offer a turnaround of a day, but offer a premium service to have it done within N hours) and see if it will affect other customers. This may even involve deciding that an existing currently running job is early enough that you might stop it and scratch the tapes, then run the priority job instead.

* Handle predictive maintenance, drive cleaning, etc. for the tape library (and how it will affect customer deadlines / capacity planning)

* Actually copying the data onto the tape/s and verifying the result

* Integrate into a monitoring and notification system so customers are alerted when their order is ready to pick up, talk to customer billing/sales systems, etc.

* Probably a bunch of other stuff I haven't thought of yet

The system would generally have to be resilient enough that it can run unattended overnight / for long periods of time, but flexible enough in scheduling that it can handle sudden rush orders, drives being offline for maintenance, and so on. And ideally could be operated by staff with minimal technical background.

Maybe Iron Mountain or someone like that have this sort of system already, but I am not aware of any commercially or generally available software that could do the job.
I second this. The thing that really turns me off about a motorhome is having this drive train that you only use maybe a dozen times a year but that you want to trust to take your family on a long trip. I'd much rather put that trust (and maintenance expense) in a regularly driven pickup.

Plus when the trailer falls apart, which they all do because they're built like crap, you can just replace it independent of the pickup.
No, the default sort is "Trump plus-minus" which takes into account what percentage of the state voted for Trump. The idea is that if 50% of the state voted for Trump, a senator from that state should vote along with Trump 50% of the time, giving a zero plus-minus.

Such a low percentage of people in CA voted for Trump (2nd lowest after Hawaii) that a middle of the pack Democrat will be high in the default sort. The same for senators from Hawaii, who are 4th and 5th with the default sort.

OK, so we agree that it's easier to find the mute button on a remote with 5 buttons than on a remote with 50 buttons, at the cost of the other operations becoming harder.

I'm fine with some operations being harder. For example, my remote has a dedicated button for entering the size of your room, which adjusts acoustics. How often am I supposed to change that, really? But it still made it harder for me to mute a blaring ad.

Applied to a car, it means that operations performed while driving should have physical buttons placed front and center, while other operations should be hidden away in order to make the former easier to find.

I drive a cheap car that appears to follow this philosophy. Here's how the dashboard look like: https://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05...

I can control the airflow without looking because it's the only knob of that size on the entire dashboard. Before looking at the picture above, I couldn't tell you where the emergency lights button was because I use it so rarely, but every time I needed to use it in a pinch I was able to find it almost instantly because it's basically the only button on the entire dash.

Replacing the touchscreen with a bunch of physical buttons that I never use while driving would be massively detrimental IMO.

(Note: the driver has dedicated volume buttons on the steering wheel, which is why there's no volume knob; the touch slider is for passenger use.)
Two points I want to make.

> House burns down? I don't care.

You're conflating land rents and building rents. The "landlord", in their position as the building owner clearly provides a valuable service: the upfront capital/labour to construct the building and the maintenance. I'm not saying this shouldn't exists; it definitely should. They should capture all the profits that come from the rent you pay because of the building. My point is simply that they shouldn't be able to profit from the landownership itself.

> people couldn't have a place to live unless they could purchase themselves.
> Property prices go down? I don't care.

The only reason land has a purchase cost in the first place is because you can extract a rent from it indefinitely. If land did not allow you to extract a rent from it in perpetuity [0], the purchase price would go to zero.

[0] - we can achieve this through a land value tax equal to the rent you could extract from the land.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Senior Elixir Software Engineering Mentor | Remote (Global) | Part-Time ~3 Month Contract | $1000 USD monthly retainer.

Hello! I'm an Engineer with a decade of mobile engineering experience attempting to bootstrap my own startup. Over the last several months, I have picked Elixir and Phoenix as my stack of choice. However, it's my first time ever building out a server-side application. Since it's only me at the moment and I'm new to this side of the engineering world, I'm looking for a mentor of sorts who wouldn't mind guiding me on architectural decisions, high level technical talks on how I should implement features, helping me out by reviewing my PRs, and acting as a general "guiding hand" so I can build out something robust, maintainable, and secure.

"games" with constant ads and horrible pay-to-win mechanics. Even Nintendo can't release an honest game for mobile - I was excited by the mobile Dr. Mario until it turned out to be the same horseshit as the rest of the ecosystem, needing paid tokens to be allowed to play more levels in a day and all that. Who wants to make Angry Birds anymore when it's more profitable to trap people with bait and switch gacha games stuffed full of ads? A good mobile game is extremely rare.

And that's sort of the problem with chasing as much revenue as possible and is why capitalism has been in the crosshairs for conversations on equity as of late.

I think the idea has merit, a paid social media platform that fosters engagement with people you care about rather than driving "engagement" with the goal of more ad revenue.
I think funnily enough, one thing that made these old websites more interesting is how slow the web was back then.

In a way it was "animation"— I'd look at images more closely as they "scanned" into the page and notice details I don't think I would now. In a way the fact that all these pages load instantly now is a bit of a downer. Maybe because there's no anticipation any more, or maybe just because the page seems more static and unchanging.
Technical aspects aside, don't you agree it's a legitimate privacy concern from the user's point of view?
That argument doesn't really work. You supposedly know whether you have "nothing to hide" (and don't dare to admit it if you do have something to hide), they need to look to check this.
