It took me a while to figure out that I had to click the button on the gaudy header to scroll down. When the article previews started bouncing in sporadically, I scrolled back up to get my bearings. I went too far and accidentally scrolled into the gaudy header again. You can scroll into it but you can't scroll out of it.

Any ideas why that is? I thought s/w companies have gotten smarter about securing their infra, e.g., strict https-only access, linux server (not windows), and so on.

If you're a startup with limited resources, what essentials do you need to be aware of to secure your systems?
ed is great when you want to make a quick edit while reviewing what's above the current line in the terminal. Spot a problem, edit a file, and write a commit message while looking at the original problem, the solution, and the steps you took to get there.

ed is also nice if you otherwise want to remain in the cognitive context of the stuff that's already on your terminal. Sometimes that blink that occurs when blanking and replacing your primary visual field can be useful, sometimes not.

ed is a line editor. You know how lots of people like vi because it is so much easier to place the cursor where you want it? ed doesn't even have a cursor. This can be faster in some (rare) cases, but moreover it forces me to think about the file as a structure of code while visual editors generally allow me to be lazy and think about the file as an array of characters.

Finally, ed is great when you know what you want to read and/or write. It is like grep but with the ability to base the next command off the previous one, or to go result by result. It is like editing in place with sed but with far less hassle/risk for one-off changes. If you'd be doing the same thing in vi, you save the trouble of typing ':'.

Along those lines, ed becomes nicer for one-off edits when you compile it with PCRE support rather than the antique, POSIX-standard regular expression format.

For reviewing files on the side, open up another terminal window, read a named pipe, and write to that pipe from ed. Do this with three or four different terminals and you've got a fairly complex set of indirect buffers that can be updated with a bare minimum of tooling.

I wouldn't want to use only ed but I'd miss it if it went away.

My understanding is that QWERTY was developed to solve a mechanical problem with early typewriters in the 19th century (frequent jams). According to wikipedia the inventor spent 5 years developing it. I don't see why he shouldn't have been able to profit from that invention. The only reason we use QWERTY now is due to the fact that early non-mechanical keyboards were designed to be used easily by people who had trained with mechanical ones. If "licensing fees" for QWERTY back then had been an issue, manufacturers would have just used a non-copyrightable ABCD... layout, or paid for QWERTY. I don't see it as a disastrous outcome.
If that's an informal lay interpretation I don't think it can be well defined, by definition.

What I meant is that it would break the CUDA package for Python and support in things like Tensorflow, obviously. Not CUDA itself.

You can't just "install new version" of those packages unless Nvidia supports it, unless Tensorflow supports it, unless OpenCV works with it. If you have ever tried to build Tensorflow from source, you would know what I am talking about.
> but generally if you choose a stance based on compassion for all beings you’ll be in the right in the long run

I like capitalism and the free market because I think it's the best system to give most prosperity to a broad spectrum of society. I believe that I take this stance based on compassion but I can assure you that this view is not popular among other people who are in the compassion camp.

I tend to treat politics and religion as subjects best dealt with on my own time. The company is paying me to get results for the company, not the larger society. If I somehow disagree with the perceived politics, I’m free to seek other employment. Implicit in this position is that the company doesn’t get to dictate either politics or religion handled in my personal time.

It would be initially problematic, but I do not believe that an Oracle win would be that disruptive in the long run. What would happen is that API providers would from now on have to provide standardized legal assurances that users are allowed to implement their API (in part or in whole). APIs that do not provide these assurances will go mostly unused.

As an imperfect analogy, think about the fact that many companies no longer want to use GPL code because of the legal ramifications. Open source authors would want their code used at those places use other licenses such as MIT.

The 1800X was $500 (top of the line 3 years ago), though the 1700 was $330, and the street prices were often lower. Raising prices to compensate for more demand seems like a rational thing to do, the 3000-series did have stock problems.

Exactly, it's clearly not a lack of resources, but explicitly not prioritizating candidate experience for candidates you're not actively pursuing. Which, by the way I think is a totally valid decision to make, but let's not kid around and make it sound like your hands were tied.
I hate interacting with that random person, it is awkward and unnecessary. Also, hopefully this will decrease the cost. This, in addition to the lower maintenance needed for electric cars might make my dream com true of not having to own a car and travel only by driverless-Uber (i.e. it might become available and affordable at last!).

My take is that this will become widely available in the next 5 years. The future is bright!
Most of what QAnon believes is what the American right wing and many Conservative/Evangelical Christians already believed - particularly in linking secular society/leftism/"globalist elites" with pedophilia and conspiracies of satanism. None of that is new, some of it is very old indeed. In my day we just referred to it as the "New World Order."

What's new is how QAnon packaged and rebranded these disparate bigotries into a single narrative with Donald Trump as the messiah and made it viral, likely on the back of the general alt-right and neo-reactionary surge of support within Trump's base. But it wouldn't have taken off at all if that wellspring of hate in America's core hadn't been there to tap, and there weren't already plenty of people who would have found the general premise of, say, Hillary Clinton drinking the blood of child sex slaves, to be reasonable to begin with. You don't convince people to believe that sort of thing who aren't already halfway there.

* You don't need to pay drivers

* You don't need an army of marketers/hr/legal/support staff for your drivers

* You don't need to dodge ambiguous contractor vs. employee laws

* You don't have any risk about individual drivers being bad actors or acting fraudulently

* You can predict, with great accuracy, how many cars will be available at any given time, whether or not they'll want to do another drive after (they will), and where they want to end up

* Your cars meet a minimum level of safety (if it works) that humans can't guarantee, especially in regards to distracted, tired, drunk, or whatever driving

Given how much effort is spent on attracting and retaining drivers, I'd say Waymo has many competitive advantages lined up. If it works.

Or compare APIs to the car interface: steering wheel + pedals. If one car manufacturer was able to copyright them, then what are other manufacturers supposed to do? The second one can use joystick for steering, and maybe a lever for braking and acceleration. The third one has to invent something even weirder.

Everybody loses: manufacturers, because they can't easily create competing products, and users, because they have to re-learn driving every time they change car brand.

> Standing for dismantling racism is always correct.

As opposed to standing against it, yes. As opposed to "we're just building a juicer, man", no.

Not every group of people "must" take an active stance on every social issue. If they did then they would do nothing but that.

This is why I'm hesitant to invest in Silicon Valley stock at the moment. If this trend continues they'll spend 100% of their time "making a stand", and not innovating or trying to fulfil their stated mission.

I have a responsibility to keep my own house in order. To make sure I'm not racist, homophobic, etc... I don't have a responsibility to spend my life on a cause you select for me, even if that cause is just.

If I were to pick a cause it would be that the central organization for a leading religion is actively harboring and protecting child rapists from international law enforcement. But still I would not, like you, say that every organization that doesn't march under that banner are "wrong about" that.

Companies are not "supporting status quo of child rapists" if they don't put up banners on their website. They're just not. That's nonsense.

You can't condemn me for not marching with you. That's fascism.

> I think the most likely outcome of this case (especially with the absence of Justice Ginsburg) is a remand to the Federal Circuit with instructions to pay more attention to the trial court’s findings.

I think that's somewhat unlikely; I think its somewhat more likely that the court concludes that the Federal Circuit erred in using de novo review, but instead of remanding to the Federal Circuit for reasonableness review reconsiders the jury verdict on the bases of the trial record itself (especially if by doing so it can uphold the trial verdict and kick the copyrightability issue down the road to another case.)

While the Supreme Court will dodge hard issues where it can, it doesn't tend to do it in a way which leaves a good chance that the same issue will come to them again in the same case. When they dodge, they like to make sure the issue stays dodged, at least for the immediate case. There's way too much risk that the Federal Circuit would reach the same answer if told to use a reasonableness standard of review (I don't think it should, but absent reaching the answer itself, the Supreme Court can't be sure of that), which would leave the copyrightability issue to come before the Court again before this case would be finalized.
Misses the point on so many levels.

Fastest experience will always be without a special framework. Fastest will always be if there is nothing except the content served in a single minimal request/response. So, this means no JS (excepct issuing requests), no browser framework, pure content. Browser sends the simplest request and receives simplest content. User reads it or looks at it. Fast as hell. It can't be faster than that because JPG can not be compressed further, gzipped HTML can not be compressed further. With later HTTP implementations, the connection can already be open and re-used.

To explain this with an analogy. Bloatware comes when you decide that your true content is not enough to be appreciated as is, and needs to be beautified, made interactive, .... Just like make-up. Without make-up you only need to show your face. When you decide to use make-up to cover the true content (your true face), you need huge ammount of overhead - you need to buy the make-up, you need to learn how to apply the make-up, clean the make-up, re-apply the make-up. You need robust make-up. You need waterproof make-up. Then you need special cleaner because water will not be able to clean it. Then you start needing a make-up framework, to help you clean, apply and re-apply the make-up consistently and easily. So reinventing make-up frameworks will do nothing in alleviating overhead. Dropping the framework is the best way to go.

I hope this analogy makes things clear what I meant.

I really like long form idea packed essays like this.

One of the many ideas that jumped out at me:

> A huge portion of the value creation of Silicon Valley is through directly intervening on the ambition of impressionable people.

This seems especially applicable for software-only or software-heavy businesses that scale very efficiently. Increasing ambition by a little can result in large increase in impact on the other end.

Another idea that caught my attention:

> Silicon Valley was a place. It has become a metonymy for a community of practice. You can find outposts of Silicon Valley in Tokyo cafes, in WeWorks in Bangalore, and on the coast of Cape Town.

If we can inspire ambition all around the world that bodes well for our future.

> I don't know really what an agency could do, but it certainly makes whatever they're up to much worse.

Being flooded with information generally doesn't help you. You can ignore it, in which case it isn't helping by definition, or you can try to do something with it, in which case it's generally actively making you worse off.

You know how people complain about not knowing what to think when a product has 30 reviews online? Imagine you're supposed to read fifty million reviews, and then use them to form an educated opinion on the product.
Apart of course for Stablecoins (e.g. Tether) where they can print as much as they want, whenever they want. And as long as the exchanges go along with it, their value per coin stays the same.

The biggest of all of these (tether) has a daily transaction volume often higher than BTC itself, has never had an outside audit, has admitted to not being 1:1 backed and is currently under investigation by the NYAG.

They've also expanded supply by ~$12 billion this year.
Where to draw the line is a very hard question for which I don't have a a definitive answer.

Legally, there's precedent that RTLM[0] (Rwandan hate radio) went too far, as the people who ran it were convicted of crimes against humanity. How much lower to set the bar to protect the public while still preserving individual freedom of expression is a question I feel society isn't yet ready to answer.

I personally would set the bar at spreading false information. Most of the more vile efforts by demagogues to stir up violence are driven by fabricated propaganda. It's difficult to use facts to incite violence because reality is usually too mundane for people to get violently upset about. Non-factual propaganda, however, can be as lurid as it takes to make people get violent. Keeping outright fabrications out of public view ought to help keep some of these risks contained.

It's distasteful, for example, to spread valid statistics that connect immigrant populations with crime (in large part because such statistics, given without context, ignore integration and economic equity issues), but I feel spreading facts is less likely to trigger persecution/violence than feeding vulnerable people with a constant information diet of lies along the lines of 'immigrants eat babies.' As a result, my take on where to draw the line on political speech is 'say what you want as long as it's true.'
