I agree with your side of the thread, this looks like a lack of comprehension on the part of the people trying to interpret 10 seconds of throwaway commentary as somehow meaningful. Bannon is trying to express frustration with the culture of the bureaucrats and his opponents are suffering a suspiciously strategic total failure of imagination.

But as a tip, 'All you seem to be doing is repeating the statement and gesturing wildly at it going "See? See????? Bad!"' is horrifyingly bad technique when responding to someone who just said 'you need to respond to what people actually say, rather than fantasies of what you'd like them to have said'. gp is literally correct now. When someone says that you'll get much better results with literal quotes rather than unfair characterisations. You've got a good point, you can afford to be gentle.
I have not! It was never such a pressing issue that I investiaged a dedicated solution. But given that we're already using Cloudflare, and that this is a solution to a much bigger problem (global coordination + actual storage), but it works really nicely for our smaller usage, it felt like a nice way to dip a toe into this new model.

How would any of this be impossible on rail? None of that depends on “pods need to move in a tube”. And if it’s such a major benefit, why hasn’t any of this been done on light rail? There’s no driverless light rail anywhere in germany - and the question you need to answer is “why is that?” You’ll quickly figure out that some of the reasons are technical and some are political, but “must be in a tube and maglev” is not one of them.

Hyperloop appeals to us technical folks because it’s cool. But it suffers from many of the same problems that occur when technical folks propose solution, we tend to propose technical solutions to non-technical problems. And we usually fail because we ignore the non-technical side.
I have attempted to read two articles on your site. As I am a privacy-focused person the articles were of interest to me. Both times I haven't gotten past reading the opening sentences when an obnoxious pop-up appeared asking for my email address. It seems ironic that someone publishing articles on privacy advocacy would be so keen to collect my email address. This practice also creates a real miserable experience and I have simply closed the page immediately both times. If someone is interested in subscribing to your newsletter why not simply provide a link for them to do so at the end of an article?

Yes. I think the real story here has nothing to do with fire risk, but that GM needs to drag 68,677 cars into the shop because they're too incompetent to master secure over the air updating of software. If a "risk" doesn't meet the metric of needing a recall I guess GM is just not going to fix it. If a brand already has over-the-air updating in place, inadequacies tend to get fixed big and small.

I would even go so far to not take your technical skills seriously for many jobs if you can't even admin a small VM for your private email. Companies with this lack of skill are even worse, don't care about their or their customers' privacy and lack the skills...
The issue here isn't privacy but independence from a specific provider. If privacy is an issue as well then you should be using encryption as emails are not private.
> It is an illusion to say we know what will or will not happen to Google over the next 20 years. We don't know how entrenched the tech giants are over decades because we've never had anything like them before.

Realistically we have little control or have any clue on what's going to happen a few years out in almost every aspect of life.

Look at Kodak (the photography company). They were around for over a 100 years, then digital photography came along to disrupt their market and they pretty much disappeared in a few months.

Kodak and Google aren't that different as being a company that offers a service that tons of folks use(d). Kodak used to be "the" place to buy film and get photos developed.

I'm all for controlling your own email (even tho I'm guilty of not doing so), but I think even if you controlled your own email, you'll still be victim of the company you're using maybe going out of business in the future. I wish nothing but success for Fastmail or any other email service that lets you control your email, but if they go down then you're in the same position as Google going down while using gmail.

Social engineering attack on your domain registrar, court order, choosing a domain controlled by a dodgy registar.

There's actually quite a few ways.
GNUnet 0.14.0
The tone is a bit silly, but I do agree that getting a personal domain is a good idea. I've had one for business for a while now, and just got a new "personal one".

I guess I now need to recreate all the accounts I care about using this new address. I'm assuming, for the most part, sites don't have the desire to change my email address as a username.
I also think it can be the other way round too. Like I use this amazing app called Smart youtube player that works best if you sign in with your YouTube id. Now this app breaks some rules like skipping ads which may voilate their Tos which can put your account in jeopardy also.

- does you registrar have physical office? is it in a country with legislation friendly towards the country you're based in?

- does your registrar send Auth-Info code over email in plain text?

- did you enter real contact and residence data when registering the domain including public WHOIS database?

This is only a fraction of the attack vector.
At 1200km/h thats one every 2 minutes per 40km (25miles).

So you get 30 pods per hour.

With 28 passengers each.

Which is 840 passengers per hour.

Compared with the different ICE 4 models, even the Largest ICE transports less passengers per hour.

499 (K1n)
724 (K3s, 10-car)
830 (K3, 12-car)

Sure, you might say that those are only the planned stats for the hyperloop.
But even halfed it's still competitive due to speed alone.

Furthermore ICE trains are half empty most of the time, even
when it's packed. Why? Because DB insists on having 18th century style 1st and 2nd class tickets.
And most people can't afford that.

However hyperloop has no such distinction, because all the pods can be made to "first class standards" due to the direct point A to point B routing nature. Alternstively, the richt people have to wait until their pod is at capacty, which I'd be delighted to see.

So in reality ICE capacity is probably half of what hyperloop could provide.

Edit:
I'm using the assumption of 1 ICE per hour, because that's how the entire german train system is sheduled.
And we're comparing Hyperloop to the current system.

Running a mailserver is something that doesn't just work out of the box, but it's not true that it's impossible to run a relatively reliable email service. Takes a bit of work, for sure. But it's the best and biggest federated network we have at the moment. Your custom domain can be secured by 2FA as well, if one is using a reputable registrar, and you can legally own it. So even if it's stolen, there is recourse.

I really don't enjoy this giving up on online sovereignty, just because of the convenience and some quasi-monopolists.

And I say that as someone who has very few accounts at any online-services (if avoidable, I'm not a fundamentalist, after all I am posting here right now) and runs mailserver (and cloudstorage and more). So I'm aware it's not all rainbows and unicorns, and I appreciate this is something that takes the skills and time that not everyone is willing to invest. Nor should they.

But one's own "domain" (in the DNS and also the territorial sense) is something that enables some freedom in a world where power is increasingly being concentrated und surveillance is becoming so ubuquitous.
Phishing or bribing an employee at a domain registrar. Phishing you to get your password and then bribing or social-engineering someone at the phone company to forward your SMS-based 2FA codes to them. Waiting for you to forget to renew your domain and then registering it.

I suppose its a negative feedback loop. Either way, cause and effect in psychology isn't always obvious. When society regards drug abuse as problem, whereas it stems from say troubled youth, then you get that kind of shifting the blame reasoning.
The point of the article is how if you want the filesystem API to write data safely, you need to jump through a lot of hoops. (Which, spoilers: most developers don't do. And even developers who try really hard often get it wrong because the APIs are so awful and poorly documented. Hence the ever present spectre of data corruption.)

According to the article, if I use ext4 with journaling and have a file with "a foo" and write "bar" at position 2, possible resulting states are: "a foo", "a boo", "a bao" or "a bar". This is the best scenario - without journaling, I can also end up with uninitialized junk.

The authors of the filesystem APIs consider this to be correct behaviour. But I can't think of any use case for this nonsense behaviour. Real data, in every file on your computer is structured. And structured files simply can't handle this kind of data corruption. Maybe this API has slightly higher throughput, but by the time you've peppered your code with fsync() calls to make it correct, you've killed performance. And working around that takes whole philosophies of threading and thousands of lines of code.

I want that write call to either complete completely or fail completely. Actually, I want more than that - for a bunch of successive write calls touching multiple files to collectively succeed together or fail together. Which is not what the article is saying.

> Its like saying, well software just shouldnt have bugs

The kernel shouldn't have bugs in its filesystem. We don't tolerate bugs in the scheduler, or in OpenSSL or in the CPU. If Postgres randomly corrupted its database every month or two, we would fix the bug. Or call it broken and use something else. If SQLite can implement transactions on top of the current filesystem APIs, then obviously its possible to put that behaviour in the kernel. And in the kernel, that code would be easier to optimize, and would be useful everywhere.

If it was a simple bug, we would fix it. The problem is that the bug is that we have the wrong abstraction. Why do we have the current filesystem API? The story I heard is it was written by some intern at Berkeley decades ago who thought it would be neat to have files and network streams use the same API. We know more now, and its past time to fix the mistake.

> Thats why all the FS as database efforts in the early 2000s like Longhorn failed.

I don't buy the cynicism. Just because microsoft overengineered longhorn (and successfully shipped TxF btw), doesn't mean the problem is unsolvable.

I was wondering this too :) But I can accept the comment as valid interpreted either way.

On the one hand 61MB feels like a lot for such a tiny piece of source code, but then we know there is a massive heap of runtime it's relying on in the browser, JS engine, canvas implementation etc etc. Then again, an average "modern" website using 61MB isn't considered all that much for one page! Some of that is surely the rest of Dwitter itself, but probably not a huge portion.
I registered steve.org.uk in 1999, and steve.fi last year.

(I moved from UK to Finland, so I checked the .fi version on a whim. Luckily it was due to expire a few months after I checked, so I setup a script to register it the moment it became available.)

That's not true though. SQL is not computationally complete. It does abstract over the complexity of access to relational data. And it is still used and useful. SQL is also not automatically brittle.

There is a problem of a language gap, a mismatch between SQL structures and internal types, and all in all maybe a gap in typed code and unit tests.

That does not mean you should implement your own database.
I suspect this is why Google lawyers were so lackadaisical in the Oracle Java case.

Tactical loss. Strategic victory.
It doesn't have to be fully trusting or not at all, there's different levels. I think using a provider you trust more (In my case Fastmail vs. Google) is a fair tradeoff. Fastmail has a pretty straight forward business model that makes sense to me so I feel like they don't have a reason to scan my emails for ad purposes or else.

Of course if you are worried about some nation state looking into your emails you should encrypt them and use whatever provider.
When is programming ever easy?

The app uses PapaParse which is a JS lib for parsing/converting CSV to JSON and vice versa. I believe it has many settings built-in, tab-vs-comma delimiter (or somicolons), etc. (see here: https://www.papaparse.com/docs#config). Right now, I am using defaults.

I think I will add an "Advanced Save" option that lets the user tweak the CSV export format. Hopefully PapaParse takes care of that, best case scenario... :-)

Thank you very much for your comments!
Fantastic, thanks, I think this was the final push I needed to start abusing gnuplot.

Also, many registrars offer a managed email service.
The 2nd lesson resonates with me a lot. Particularly the bit about being a pessimistic saver and an optimistic investor.

I'm 34. It's dawning on me that I have been a pessimist all of my life. I have saved and saved, cut expenses here, minimized consumption there. I have known a bit of poverty in my earlier days and while my minimalism may reflect an on-going poverty, I have done ok for myself by two metrics: I own a home and I never let a price tag prevent me from buying what I want at the grocery store. These metrics are paramount to me. If I cannot guarantee them for myself, I am poor. If I can, I am financially unbreakable. It's my own, very humble version of 'fuck you' money.

It has served me alright but not on the flip-side as the article mentions. I am constantly concerned about the next crash and the future seems bleak whether it's climate change, decreasing class mobility, the return of feudalism, or simply the ugliness of an overly complex tech-driven world. In my life, I have only known an irrationally exuberant market and even as I try to overcome my pessimism, it's difficult to tell whether it's not all at all-time-highs. I am loathe to embarrass myself by investing right as everything is about to come down. Now, I am trying to figure out the the right diversification and dollar-cost averaging strategy for myself. (Yes, I should have invested in March. I've made some profits since then but I would've liked to be more deeply invested rather than take profits from quick trades.)

Like everyone else, my friends/associates/colleagues are potential business partners in that we have the same interests, expertise, and drives. I have noticed that the successful ones are usually the optimists. Surely all enterprising begins with hope. But obviously, like any pessimist, I see myself as a realist, and I am sincere and frank in my discussions with others, but at what cost? It's realistic to acknowledge that pessimism drives away opportunity, so I must become an optimist. But how?

I don't claim to have the solution to your question but here's my proposal:

Release it in two ways simultaneously.

One, public, going for maximum exposure. This causes (short-term) availability. Assume this channel can get compromised at any time. Ie. clearweb.

Two, at the same time, a more censorship resistant solution such as Tor or IPFS. Ie. darkweb.

At the very least you should research the second option beforehand. I'd say though, if you already include the address in say your GitHub, then this allows caching beforehand hence a smoother transition.

I saw this recently applied in alt-right movement. People getting banned from Twitter and Facebook already mentioning their contact info on darkweb beforehand cause they saw it coming.

I semi worked around it by adding accounts.google.com to my ublock origin block list but about once a month I have to turn it off to allow me to log into Google.

Note: I'm not against google. I am against this auto-popup. The logical conclusion is you'll go to a page and get 6 of those popups or more. One to sign up with Google, one to sign up with Apple. One to sign up with Facebook. One to sign up with Linkedin, etc...

The design of that system by google is not a good design based on the idea that if everyone did it it would be bad. Google should top it. If I click "sign up" on the sight then let the site offer me "login with X" and don't contect X until I click "login with X"
