Just like how Gmail is supposed to automatically deletes trash items after 30 days? /s because it doesn't, at least on my Gmail account.
That makes much more sense, was not thinking in terms of surges.
Give me a break. Guidelines that are selectively enforced is just power tripping censorship. This is a website that allows people to post advertisements for cigarettes while stamping down on anything that shakes the boat when it comes to China or labor rights in the USA. I don't see anyone using your logic to defend FB although it would be just as applicable.

The article was talking about asteroid sized (as in diameter), not mass.

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=black+hole+horizon+rad...

shows a black hole of mass 1×10^29 kg (which is about 1/20 of one solar mass) has a radius of 148.5 meters which is asteroid size.

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=gravity+of+1%C3%9710%5...

says at one earth's radius away that it has an escape velocity of 1447.5 km/s (kilometers per second), so yeah I think that will either destroy part of Earth or completely consume it, depending on how fast it's passing though.

For OP's question, whether it's detectable or not, it possibly is if it warps the light from background stars (same effect as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington_experiment).
Thank you! Greatly Appreciated :)
So true. They are so busy optimizing their dark patterns they don't understand why - in the big picture - clear pricing on subscriptions, easy cancellations etc - helps the entire ecosystem and brand. It's the tragedy of the commons I think.
Speaking of Google drive I have a really annoying bug on the mobile app where it tries to synchronize offline files all the time. I go to the Offline tab and I have 0 files...
It sounds like the whole system has a huge public goods problem. In the real world stock market, buying TSLA is a signal that you believe the price is good, and if you're a big enough investor, your buy might move prices up before you complete. In this world, other people can steal that signal and move the price before your transaction even starts. Isn't this a design flaw?
Wow, thank you so much for that awesome blog post! It's thanks to acts like that we've been able to keep the wheels going at Scrimba the last year, as we haven't had money to spend on paid advertising, so we've had to rely on organic growth.
Huh? An electric fence can't induce a cow to stay within a boundary?

The collars here are basically the same training collars they make for dogs. They require constant recharging (at least once a week) and have other downsides like range, etc.
This is the last straw for me. I use the Trash feature to hold my most valuable files. If it's safely stored in the trash, I can't accidentally delete it, right?

Looking for recommendations for non-Google trashcans that provide strong guarantees of durability...
Yes, and then, if I'm smart, spend time and money discussing it with attorneys and/or other experts, who will probably tell me that they don't know either, because there is no body of case law concerning this new and unique "special snowflake" of a license..., etc, etc.

Of course I could just "wing it", read through it, and work off my layman's interpretation and hope for the best. Or.. I could choose to stick to well understood and well known licenses that already exist.
That's ALL criminals for you. They can be very smart and yet consistently commit silly and avoidable mistakes.
I wonder why big platforms don't give more control over their recommendations compared to what I propose. Maybe it's stakeholders or they want to promote certain things regardless of user liking.

Also thank you for making tube and reddit.qnzl.co. There is a whole community at reddit.com/r/nosurf who really need those.
Thanks for sharing! I hadn't seen any of these before. I still think a search would help and/or sortable context would help. When I went to Angel.co I would either be looking for new (time-based) startups in my area (geography based), or some idea I have and I want to find who is else is working on something similar (search based). Thanks for sharing.
Exactly! this is hopefully the start of a great community effort at making an up to date, great platform.

We're seeing the effects of capitalists having pitted laborers against each other in order to undo the New Deal coalition. It has many facets. For a very sympathetic view of coal miners, I highly recommend watching Harlan County, USA, made in 1976:

I wonder how many Americans know about the Battle of Blair Mountain. I never learned about it in my history books.

Yes, drives me insane when I'm out in the middle of nowhere enjoying a view only to stumble across a stretch of barbed wire. I'm skeptical public grazing is a great use of public lands regardless, but now that we have this technology it should be mandatory that anyone who grazes on public lands use this instead of adding more fencing.

Historically, people in general have wanted to own some content, but been ok with a fungible form for most of the content they consume. But it was nice to know that for any piece of content, someone out there owned it and it would not be lost. Lending was also a rich social interaction.

The current concern is that the ability to own, lend, and retain access to any of it, is vanishing completely. And, specifically with server-enabled games, the ability to experience almost all of them is guaranteed to vanish in just a few years.
Even though trash counts towards a user's quota... users are, by definition, using less than their quota. And the percentage of users paying for increased Drive storage is likely a small percentage of overall users.

So deleting trashed items will mean Google is storing a lot less data, and probably not impacting people's storage purchase decisions much/at all. I expect it'd be a net benefit for their bottom line.
Anyone else suddenly yearning for liquorice?
Yes, they are trying to be euphemistic. These are dog collars made for cows.
Standups aren't the place to hash this out, sprint/epic planning is.

Standups are for managers and 99% of the time can be done asynchronously. If you have to know what everyone else is doing in order to be effective at your job, your planning process needs fixing.
Cows are pretty smart and self-aware animals (e.g. they are ashamed if they are seen by their peers during milk extraction). I'm not sure that they'll take an aggressive stance against the collars if it's not used abusively. On the contrary, they might be more content if they are both being able to roam outside and be warned of the limits without being irritated so much.

AFAIK, cows are not aggressive animals unless they're physically attacked or threatened.
The Promise of Freedom: Orlando Patterson’s Modern World
I appreciate this sentiment, but I've lived through too many of these transitions to agree. e.g. Blizzard, Google, YouTube, Curse, Sun Microsystems, Zynga, Minecraft, Occulus.

Indie developers / startups either become the size of Epic and Spotify, or get bought by companies the size of Epic, Spotify and Apple.

Find me the indie developers / startups that cannot be "corrupted" (converted?) and I'll invest as soon as they IPO.

Meanwhile, there are some companies that make it their business model to build trust at scale. Apple, Valve, Nintendo, Microsoft (exclusively for enterprise clients) are a few great examples.
I would have almost thought they would make more money keeping the trash around to analyze with newer and newer algorithms to build a better psychological profile on people.
"They are completely against privacy and have don't have any ethical values at all.". Should be easy to become the next Facebook.
That's all criminals that you know about, because they got caught.
Not that much. The primary concern with all the things Tesla does is to reach insane amount of scale and make it as easy to mass produce as possible. That means use simpler materials when possible.

Tabless doesn't really work the same in consumer electronics, that really helps you when your dealing with massive power and heat.

For silicon anodes there is already SILA and other companies trying to get silicon anodes into consumer electronics. Tesla focuses on a mass scalable approach, SILA is a bit more 'francy' but its also a more advanced process. But lots of companies try to get silicon anodes into consumer electronics.

The requirements for the cathodes are a bit different and Tesla doesn't really have something crazy unique there.

The Dry battery electrode technology would be useful for consumer electronics but as far as I know only Tesla has that process close to large commercial scale. But I don't see why it eventually wouldn't make its way there.

All in all, I think think consumer electronics will get much of this. This is about cars and grid batteries.

If you look at YouTube there are tags but also the category that you can select when you upload a video (Lifestyle/How-to and so on) so maybe we could simply use that along with tags to get accurate classification.

However, if I made a new video platform (Daunting task) I would penalize content creator who purposefully mis-categories their content.
It seems to me that you're still ignoring the tail risk of authoritarian control of the concept of truth, namely, gulags.

It's a justified fear, since it's happened repeatedly in living memory, and is happening still: you're welcome to go hand out pamphlets about the June Fourth Incident on Tiananmen Square if you don't believe me.

If you want to discount that risk, ignoring it or glossing it as some sort of slippery slope argument, that's your business. I won't, and we find ourselves on opposite sides of the debate for that reason.

To be clear, I don't think it's a slippery slope, because I don't think it's an accidental or avoidable consequence of allowing authoritarian control of the terms of discourse. I think it's the expected outcome, and that people who think that end state can be avoided are being used by people who crave that power over others.
I would tend to agree. Saying "our software is free for anyone to do anything they want with, except Amazon to profit from" may not be free in letter, but I certainly see it free in spirit.

I fear we're letting perfect be the enemy of the good here, and letting the FOSS ecosystem wither and lose incalculable value by letting trillion-dollar corporations exploit the hard work of people for free. If the choice is between "cheap Timescale on AWS run by Amazon" and "slightly less cheap Timescale on AWS run by Timescale", I'll take the latter.

I think banning FAANG from competing with the single source of revenue these FOSS companies have is a small price to pay to ensure a thriving FOSS ecosystem, and I think insisting on absolute freedom is killing the ecosystem.

His BYTE electronics DIY project articles in his Circuit Cellar column were so well-written that I used to enjoy browsing them even though I'm not an electronics guy, gleaning what I could about the topic. He even did one about a 32-bit computer, when 8 and 16 bits were still the standard! The Definicon motherboard/CPU, I think it was about.
> why employees at tech companies believe they have the right to police people's opinions period

Two things about this:
1. When FB Answers was a thing. I was very quickly banned from it, through various obscure mechanisms. All I was doing was gently being a contrarian on newsworth/fad topics. Partly contrarian because I was read up on a lot of scientific literature and other times, I just had different opinions than the 'popular' one. There is a culture of control there, full stop. Especially when your valid and potentially correct opinion goes against FB employee. I knew immediately than FB Answers wasn't going to succeed because they wouldn't allow a plurality of perspectives.
2. Let's be fully clear about this. This is entirely Zuck's decision. He runs a tight ship with clear guidelines. Zuck is playing politics right now, full stop. Saying one thing publicly and saying another privately. This 'leaked' memo isn't something that Zuck had no idea that it would be leaked. It's calculated. It's a public statement. How enforced will this leaked memo be? Will that be leaked? Doubtful. Zuck is trying to skirt responsibility with this 1st amendment problem. If FB really allowed dissent then Alex Jones and others would be allowed on the platform.*

*I do think the worst ideas need to be allowed on a platform. It allows the possibility to discussions. There are cults around various topics but...that doesn't mean that those with scientific understanding have perfect rhetoric about everything they say. Everyone needs to refine and it's best done with allowing everyone to the table.
You don't have to agree with apple, but they clearly think the halo effect of having just one reasonably fair app store on their platform increases their platform brand power and profits both. I think they are right.

Can I ask a question. When your elderly parents or kids ask for a phone (assuming they are not developers), does it give you no comfort that if its an apple from end to end including app store things will be a bit more reasonable?

And you do realize if things are unbundled, then EVERY phone company will dump their crap onto every users phone except for the folks who know enough to go uninstall / use the lockout thing you are talking about. And you don't think that will damage the overall apple brand?

There are several simulators on the Internet, so you can hear what it sounds like.
I imagine that anyone who hits their quota and wants to add more would start making room by deleting their trash. I can't imagine there are many instances of people increasing their quota just so they can keep stuff in their trash around, and if there are, these people will probably just move the stuff out of the trash so they can keep it after this change.

More likely, Google will be deleting vast quantities of data and saving money due to the reduced amount of storage they're using.

> about a coordinated effort to mint & publish some blocks without front-runners stealing all the work & claiming a big contract for themselves.

Wow, I have no idea how you read that really awesome article and concluded with such a response as this.

The article demonstrates how the authors were able to collaborate with miners to safely secure $9M worth of tokens due to a security vulnerability in a smart contract on a public blockchain where anyone could figure out the vulnerability and execute it before they could secure the funds.

Being upset that a miner is able to pick transactions that they want to include in their block demonstrates a clear lack of knowledge in how these distributed databases (blockchains) work and any critique similar to this can be disregarded.
You'd be in good company with Microsoft circa 2001 with their (source-available) Shared Source Initiative, because your argument is the same one that people have been making back then and ever since: that banning field-of-use restrictions imposes too much of a burden on commercial entities.

But disallowing such field-of-use restrictions is exactly what makes open source collaboration between otherwise competing companies possible. It is a fundamental difference between Open Source and Source Available licenses.
And yet, all top 10 apps currently on the App Store are considered the worst repeated violators of data privacy.

There's no need to pretend to be naive, PII does in fact go beyond telemetric touchbar behavior or your fingerprint sensor. The rest of what you said continues to have nothing to do with App Store review processes.

This is based on half-remembered pseudo-technical details of how TOR works but my understanding is that the most effective way to compromise someone's connection through The Onion Router is to control their entrance and exit nodes.

So my initial assumption is that the bulk of the work would be in gaining and confirming that control and the rest would likely be "trivial" analysis of traffic through those gateways.

The web navigator (browser) has had "registerProtocolHandler"[1] api, which has been around since at least 2008[2]. The history has been a little complicated, but it lets one write a page that can handle addresses of this sort. That could be a handshake relay page, that loads the handshake content, then renders a page with it.

There is also similar work in WebExtensions to allow this to happen in the extension layer. Here's[3] a list of p2p-related handlers which were whitelisted (similar was done in Chrome), but "web+handshake" would work without whitelisting. These extensions would obviously be more useful if any mobile browsers had extension support. Firefox seems to have just shut the door on most extensions![4] What the hack?!

There isn't one. It's still believed to come from an animal host and there's a strain of bat coronavirus that is very close and bats are eaten in parts of China. The notion that bats harvested for food lead to human infection is unproven, but still plausible. And we don't really have a better story yet.
Awesome work. Would you say this is the state of the art for real-time anomaly detection ?
This seems quite abstract. What kind of career level is this article talking about?
You are absolutely correct and people not knowing this results in a "standup" that balloons into a one-hour verbal trash bin. This is the issue my company has. Daily "standups" that can take 30-60 minutes.

BUT WAIT HOLD ON, it's 15 minutes of "standup" and 45 minutes of "parking lot." eye-roll

This is every single day, by the way. Our previous manager got the picture and reduced these to three times a week with hard time limits. Then a new manager came on and put daily "standups" back on, after apologizing that he was adding a meeting to our no-meeting day, lol.

I'm dead inside.

It also psychologically feels bad when you have the same update every day (e.g. working on a long-term project) or if you have no update. It's also really fucking stupid to have a "standup" on Friday morning and another on Monday morning.

I'm dead inside.
I'm dead inside.

Also I take any opportunity to vent about these stupid "agile" methods, sorry.
> Democrats absolutely would not have blocked Scalia's replacement for a year,

Yes, as we’ve established, they wanted to push through a replacement as fast as possible.

> and even if they had, they would absolutely not have ignored the precedent they set and did the opposite thing now.

Doubtful. Unless you’re implying that the Democrats suddenly found religion and decided that what the Republicans did in 2016 was, in hindsight, something they’ve now come to discover was The Right Way To Do Things afterall. To the contrary, they _still_ whine about 2016. Hardly sounds like the party that truly believes in the sanctity of this “no SC appointments in an election year” thing.

And you’ll notice that they’re currently harping on RBG’s “dying wish” that her seat remain vacant until a “new president is installed.” Not until after the election, but for four more years. This is what political parties do, they latch onto whatever will benefit them most.

> they should double the size of the bench.

And that’s not “naked malevolence”, to imply that the best way to undo the advantage obtained by sheer luck (timing of a vacancy) is to completely slam your fist on the metaphorical scale by making it impossible for the other guy to gain an advantage unless _he_ later packs the court by an even larger degree than you did?
He claims to have fully cooperated, the Swedes disagree. That’s what this is all about, from their point of view.

> He was also targeted in 2016 using an obviously contrived Bahamian pedophelia accusation. Should he have a moral obligation to sacrifice himself for that investigation as well?

That is for the police to decide, not him.

To say literally anything else is to assume that he must be beyond reproach simply because of who he has upset.

And if you cannot trust the police, it is already too late.

Edit: also, again, Sweden isn’t threatening his life, America is (IMO, even if the government denies it) — and they’re doing that just fine without Swedish help.
