Surely you'd want CI builds for your app? I suppose you can always go the sassy option and just offload this problem onto Travis or CircleCI, but then they're the ones stuck figuring out how to rack thousands of Mac Minis, dealing with thermals in a machine that isn't set up for hot/cold aisles, a computer that doesn't have a serial port or dedicated management interface, etc.

If you're a big enough org or the app is for internal use, this might not be an option anyway. At that point I imagine most people just give up on it and figure out how to run macOS on a generic VM. But at that point you have to convince your IT department that it's worth it doing a thing that is definitely unsupported and in violation of the TOS.

Or maybe some of these are big enough that they are able to approach Apple and get a special license for N concurrent instances of macOS running on virtualized hardware? Who knows.

The NeXT at launch was $6500 list for the base model. There were academic deals where you could get it for less, but that's not what we are talking about. And you could get a machine for $3k at least as fast in 1988; the 68030 was past it's prime. If by 'NeXTstation', you mean the 'Slab' pizzabox NeXT, that was $5k list for the mono version, released in 1990, and had a 68040. You could get a much faster machine for $3k in 1990.

You could also ask why California has the worst-maintained roads in the United States, has mountains of trash littering the center divide and shoulders of its freeways, has huge numbers of homeless people living in slums just blocks away from some of the highest wage earners (and ostensibly highest tax payers) in the country. How does California vote? That’s not “red/blue” shit.

You mean Blockstream and Adam Back in particular? Yikes, if that's what you call a good team I'd hate to be on a software project with you. They have severely diviated from the design layed out in the White Paper and Satoshi's intensions of having a cheap, Peer-to-Peer digital currency. The failure to raise the block size alone has been, at best, a massive misstep, at worst, a deliberat sabotage of the Bitcoin project.
This article is the future for me. I’m a small farmer - I grow marijuana in Colorado. Federal laws have so far sheltered us and allowed us to grow (no pun) by keeping BigAg and Bank money outside. Now it’s an industry of small partnerships and family farmers and I am very happy. But it won’t last.

When marijuana is finally legalized nationally there will be an immediate tidal wave of money and consolidating. Those that remain independent will eventually become big corporate farms themselves or perish.

I have been blessed by my god with a wonderful family and the land my ancestors tended to, so while the business landscape will change and this boom will bust my small American family farm will remain.

I am also optimistic that BigAg will continue to look towards YOU for the tools I need to reduce labor and pests. Collectively, you guys are amazing and I get literally giddy thinking of the things you keep inventing

Oh man. I want to like Apache products, or maybe “projects” is more accurate. It’s really quite the dumping ground of random things. I’ve tried so many of them, and it feels like it’s mostly a random professor implements something to justify his of her position at a university, gets it approved for Apache to get more prestige, has students add random bits every year. It’s just all so uncohesive within itself, or as a whole.

Like, you might not like Microsoft Office, or the Mac suite. But at least you don’t end up with Microsoft Word, Mac Numbers, Gmail, Office 365 notes, and pretend that everything is one office suite.

Apache really needs to define and enforce some unifying standards.

Or we need something un-Apache that can do this for open projects.

Tips for Founders Doing Sales (From a Founder)
Maybe the standard should be changed to distrust lack of SPF/DKIM by default?

Within a few years we've severely reworked how HTTPS certificates work (max validity period, signature algorithms, etc) and the world hasn't ended, so maybe mainstream e-mail providers should do the same with e-mail?

This would force everyone else into compliance, and unconfigured domains will no longer be a problem because the lack of SPF/DKIM would automatically fail any authentication across the board.
If I understand it right (which I am by no means sure of), I think you write React code, but it runs on the server, with full DB access etc., and it sends the static HTML to the browser. Kind of like Laravel Livewire[1], but for React.

Ever since I first heard about Livewire a few weeks ago I had in my head "Why doesn't someone do this for React in Node, using ReactDOMServer?" Perhaps now they have (again, if I understood it correctly)

EDIT: Actually on second thoughts, I'm not sure it is like Livewire. I'm not sure Remix handles interactivity in the browser at all. Livewire does, sending back and forth the things that need to change, without you needing to think about it.

AWS US-East-1 Problems
8:56 AM PST: Kinesis is experiencing increased API errors in the US-EAST-1 Region. This is also causing issues with Amplify, API Gateway, AppStream2, AppSync, Athena, Cloudformation, Cloudtrail, Cloudwatch, Cognito, DynamoDB, IoT Services, Lambda, LEX, Managed BlockChain, S3, Sagemaker, and Workspaces. This issue has also affected our ability to post updates to the Service Health Dashboard.”
The real trick would be if intermediary MTA servers could make the assumption that any domain without SPF/DKIM/etc. has the same intent ("I'm not supposed to be used for sending email") as a domain that explicitly has these "no-email" records. We could eliminate a huge swathe of spam senders from the web in a single stroke. (Right now we already apply this heuristic, but the output is just a signal for spam classifiers at the receiver, rather than a "drop the mail on the floor" signal at intermediates, the way that e.g. DNSRBLs are.)

If we did make this "you don't intend to send email if you don't have the secure-origin records" assumption, how much would that break email as a system? What old email servers are sitting around sending unsigned mail, that we want to protect/preserve the functioning of (in the same way we keep Internet-realm HTTP transport around in browsers to preserve access to old HTTP-only Web1.0 servers?)
The official civilian casualty numbers have always been pure bullshit, we know from the Manning leaks that Bush had hidden 15,000 civilian deaths in Iraq. Obamas change did not drastically alter how the deaths were reported.
I see it as 2 separate problems: data availability and anonymous transfer. IMO, you need 2 separate solutions because they are 2 different problems.

IPFS solved the data availability problem because you can incentivize storage miners to make your data available. This is something new, IMO.

Accessing it anonymously is possible with an extra protocol layer.
The fact there are countless RegEx cheatsheets and pages like https://regex101.com/ or https://regexr.com/ is evidence RegExes are not intuitive or easy to remember. Composing plain-english functions can be easier to remember, and editors can provide auto-complete.

>Living and working near London I always assumed the increased ethnic diversity and global outlook in the capital led to less racism.

From https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1467-9477....

>In the short run, however, immigration and ethnic diversity tend to reduce social solidarity and social capital. New evidence from the US suggests that in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods residents of all races tend to ‘hunker down’. Trust (even of one's own race) is lower, altruism and community cooperation rarer, friends fewer.

There's plenty of secondary sources reporting on this study if you want to have a look for the varying opinions on it but I thought I'd link the source of it itself.

Whether less trust, less cohesion etc. == more racism is something I'm not in a position to draw a conclusion over, but it's interesting nonetheless.
Your link is to a forum hosted by Protocol Labs for the IPFS Community. Of course they are trying to follow their own CoC on their own properties, especially when it comes to copyright infringement. As a US company, they're bound to follow US law. Hardly surprising.

What does that have to do with the network? Again, the network nor the protocol currently has nothing in place that describes a "attitude" of being against copyright infringement.

I remember that we (I'm a ex-Protocol Labs employee) used to have plenty of discussions about adding allow/blocklists to the protocol that people could opt-in to, but don't think that was never added (yet?). If it was, I'd understand where you're coming from.

> I don't know of any 70-year-old food that could be tested side-by-side with 'modern' food.

That's a false base for your argument. You can find traditionally grown vegs from villages today. Then you can grab a tomato from your super-cheap super market and test those two side by side. The traditionaly grown veg isn't old per say, but it is surely way closer to the old qualities. So if you find a difference between those two products you must surely conclude there is a difference between old - modern crops.
One really silly bug (can't call it anything else) is the insistence to capitalise Apple product names like in their marketing speak.

Why do you think it was flagged/dead?
This isn't good science.

Caballero went looking for a specific answer- a planet in the right place in the sky, with the right conditions- and found it. Therefore, this is proof the signal came from ET intelligence, right? But in science you should be going the opposite direction- start with the data and see what answer it leads to.

What's more, there's a big region of space the signal could have come from. Saying "any planet in that cone is the answer" isn't fair. There's just as likely to be thousands or millions more planets with equal properties further away inside the same cone.

A more fair experiment would be to say "ignoring the specific direction the 'Wow' signal came from, predict where it should have come from given the data we have"- and then if you find an answer that aligns with the source of the 'Wow', then you're onto something.
I agree that there is no direct evidence that this decision was part of their formal decision-making process. But there is still something to be said for designing systems where it's not possible for those negative incentives to exist, whether or not there is any current intention of taking advantage of them.

Of the tens of thousands of people who had a hand in shaping macOS today, it's impossible to say what their collective intentions were in all the decisions they made. So I think it's useless to talk only about the intentions you can prove just by looking at their formal decision-making process. That is why we need to be working to protect privacy at every level with a "defense in depth" approach.

And of course it goes without saying that all major vendors have issues like this and could be working harder to make sure that these incentives don't get created.

Is this only affecting us-east-1 or other regions as well?
No- it's a saga of regulation gone awry. And the unintended consequences that always worsen as regulations become more complex.

If the market demands a square peg, but regulators have already approved a round hole... You get forced, arbitrary, and technically questionable solutions to -force- that square peg fit the existing (round hole) regulatory market.

Want Boeing to not use "loopholes" to get new plane models approved? Make it as easy or easier to approve new models as it is to approve modified/derivative models.

That capitalism responds to regulations in such a way should surprise no one. Except people who don't fundamentally understand it.

The benefit of something like RFID tags is that the thieves would need to remove the tags on-site to avoid detection, rather than at their leisure.

Hi all, in case interesting/useful: some research I've been involved in takes a different approach to online quantile estimation (our work is based on Hermite series estimators) and compares favorably to online quantile estimation approaches based on stochastic approximation for example. We've recently released the code:

https://github.com/MikeJaredS/hermiter

I've done some comparisons versus the P^2 algorithm (using the OnlineStats implementation in Julia) and the Hermite series based algorithm appears to have comparable accuracy in the tests conducted. The Hermite based approach has the advantage that it estimates the full quantile function though, so arbitrary quantiles can be obtained at any point in time.
The profit share for those largest 1% of farms is even greater than 70% as well. I believe it’s around 93% of profits are made from the large operations.
Do you know what the challenge in these sorts of thing are? For example, do we already know how to double the laser power if we just had the resources or would there need to be research on how to build the laser itself?
While neat, I think that if you're a developer, you'd be better off learning basic regular expressions instead so you can use them in whatever language you'd like. Depending on this would probably just make moving to a new code base that doesn't use this a lot more confusing.

A normal regex with a comment above it explaining what it does (for complex cases) always worked well for me.

> it seems unlikely that while in medical school someone can also complete a full-time two-year business program and start a doctorate.

If you're very ignorant about a topic, it's probably a good idea to do thirty seconds of Googling to make sure a claim is actually implausible before you accuse someone of lying.

MD/MBA programs exist that add 1-2 years to one's med school[1]. On top of that, "over the course of his medical education" quite explicitly doesn't simply mean "in med school", unless for some bizarre reason you don't consider one's residency (and possibly fellowship) years to be part of one's education. Lastly, and I can't believe I have to explain this, _starting_ a doctorate doesn't actually take any time. In the limit, it takes one Planck time[2].

> I'm not a "peer" with my doctor because whether it's rote memorization or not, they've got at least 7 years of training I don't, and much more if they're a specialist and not a GP. You do not have a "substantial headstart" on any research relevant to your problem unless you've had it for years and are seeing a new GP just to get a referral to a new specialist. In which case, honestly, your old specialist can probably just refer you somewhere else.

You've entirely missed the point of my comment. You seem to think that doctors are equipped with future-tech Neuralinks to personally feel the day-to-day manifestation of every one of your symptoms and Black Mirror-style grains to review your entire life history and extract the parts which may be relevant to your medical issue. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they're not: for any non-trivial medical issue, doctors have the difficult task of compressing the entirety of your life into the data that are relevant to your current condition, and doing so in a very short time. If you think that they're capable of doing this without active participation from you, then I pray you never have any medical issues, because you are going to have a very bad time in the healthcare system.

> There are plenty of specialties much more challenging than family med

Yes, obviously. Part of "know what you don't know" is realizing that the complexity of some medical issues means that the "general technical knowledge" side of the scale is weighted heavier than the "intimate insight into the specific problem" side of the scale. I'm not suggesting that one starts arguing with an oncologist about which course of chemo they should be on. But then, I'm pretty sure that was obvious to everyone reading my comment who _didn't_ write a response constructing a series of towering strawmen.

On the other hand, to bring home the message the good people at LegaAmbiente do use everything they can find (and more) on a worldwide scale with an incredible number of non-sequiturs.

Example:

the picture on page 24 (damage to infrastructure in Japan, full page) is there at the only scope of impressing the casual onlooker (the chapter is about "Why there are more risks in the cities as compared to the past?", and the last subchapter is tangential, on coastline cities)

I wish that we could have meaningful data and some objective comments of them without the hype and/or the removal of the (IMHO excessive) scaremongering/disaster-movie-like predictions.

They are, but the difference is that we can fix technical issues, or at least improve them. We can (mostly) agree about what's right and wrong and what's better or worse.

Political issues on the other hand, just end up antagonizing us ever more. We argue endlessly, go on countless tangents and nobody agrees on anything because we see the very issues under different lights, experiences, values and cultures.

I am tired of politics. I just want to get stuff done. Hopefully good stuff, but I’d settle for slightly better.

> syncing what page you've read up to in a book (a feature many people find crucial!), cannot really be divorced from having the raw data to create server-side metrics about people's reading habits.

Sure it can. You encrypt the data so the client can read it and the server can't. When you add a new device, you e.g. scan a QR code on your old device so that it can add the decryption key to the new device, and the server never knows what it is.
If AWS can't even figure out not to build their status dashboard on their own infrastructure then I think all hope might be lost.
