I mean, I have no idea how you use it, but I doubt you're "using it wrong". You're just not everyone or every use case.

Expanding on that, just because you don't understand what problem it solves, why people would want to pay for it, or why VC's believe they can profitably invest at a given valuation, doesn't meant that any of them are wrong.

It just means you don't understand from someone else's perspective. So when you say "This is one of those cases where a good dev could likely build a clone in a month. And it hardly needs constant updates." - it's coming from a place of ignorance to the other people's problems and their scope.

> Perhaps you could enlighten me to the problem that Postman is solving?

A quick glance at their homepage helps with this. "Build APIs together" and then the value props go on with "Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster."

So Postman is about the collaboration and process of building APIs. Not about a curl gui. That's an expensive, big, valuable problem space.

Worse than that, sometimes these intelligence agencies create said terrorists.

> Of these defendants caught up in FBI terrorism sting operations, an FBI informant was the person who led one of every three terrorist plots, and the FBI also provided all of the necessary weapons, money, and transportation.

I'm sure such a thing is something no American would agree with. I wouldn't be surprised if similar actions were happening at all levels (gangs to terrorists). I'm sure this also isn't isolated to America either, as it appears to be the incentives that causes this and how we measure success (i.e. how many criminals are caught).

These conversations are extremely complex. But I think we need large social discussions about how to actually solve crime and prevent animosity in the world. I think it is time for a big rethink. If there's 2 million people on a list, I'm not sure that list is very effective. It's like looking for needles in a haystack by adding more hay.

> a civil court can act against you without giving you representation, without allowing you to have representation, without you present, in secret from the public, and even without notifying you

While there is no right to be afforded free legal representation in civil court in most US jurisdictions (some do) and a civil court can render rulings and judgments against parties who are not represented by counsel, a civil court cannot prohibit a party from having legal representation, which is what your comment seems to suggest.

A civil court can render a ruling against a party if the party is not present, but it will typically go to great lengths to ensure that notice is given to parties before doing so (pleadings served to last address by process server, notice published, etc.). There are typically strict requirements that have to be met before civil court can render a ruling or judgment without a party present, especially where there is no indication that the party has received notice first.

A lot of anecdotes about drastic judgments and rulings being handed down by civil courts happen when parties ignore notice of the proceedings. There are a lot of rules for handling cases in civil court and they are grounded in the constitutional right to due process. Notice and due process are taken really seriously in most US jurisdictions. Federal Courts are especially strict about following the rules.

As a first step, stop giving in to the demands.

I routinely refuse to provide ID when asked by private businesses. About half the time they're OK with proceeding with whatever without it.
Good explanation, thanks. I only knew about cryptographic hashes, or those that are used for hash tables where you absolutely do not want to have collisions. Anyhow, I'm not really comfortable with this usage of the word "hash". It is completely opposite of the meaning I'm used to.

I was amazed and astonished when I first saw 'The Big Sleep', early in my college career. I'd never seen a movie I had a hard time following before, and I was captivated.

There's an old Steve Yegge post where he described presenting for Jeff Bezos. I'm paraphrasing, but Yegge said something like after writing the presentation (no slides), delete every fifth paragraph to keep Bezos intrigued enough to pay attention. I feel like that's what happened to either the script or the filming of 'The Big Sleep.'

EDIT: Every third paragraph, link to Yegge post: https://gist.github.com/kislayverma/6681d4cce736cd7041e6c821...
I think Apple was actually designing this system internally as an improvement in terms of privacy. Doing Perceptual hashing on the phones is more open and thus auditable than doing the same thing on their servers. They set things up to require multiple different images to match etc.

However, the perception was very different.
My point merely is, that humans seem to think to have a monopole on intellectual superiority. If you were to call someone else stupid, there's a high probability they'd feel the urge to punch you in the face, unless that person is already apathetic in nature. And to my perception, slightly superior intelligence seems to be the only thing we humans have going for us. Speed, Strength? such attributes have become terribly trivial.
The problem isn't so much the answers, but how they are framed.

In the case of Neil Armstrong, the failure is to state that the answer is for a Moon landing. That would allow the person making the query to realize that the answer was not what they were looking for. In this case it is because Armstrong never landed on Mars. In other cases it may be because the question or data were incorrect.

The current Tom Hanks answer is closer to what should have been done in this regard since it refers to the film directly, though it remains problematic in that it highlights the year to such a degree that the person making the query may ignore the context. (It is also problematic because the film is about a mission that didn't land on the Moon, which could only be determined through further research. Granted, that is more along the lines of your slowest animal example.)
Well, some of those points are down to personal preference. I for instance always hated the trackpoint thing and I am fine with the new clean and simple keyboard approach.

Don't even get me started on Apple. If removing the physical Esc key is not the biggest ever fuck you to pro users, then I don't know what is.
My guess (as an engineer but not in that field) is that some sort of breakthrough is needed or it will be a long slog. The general problem of robots navigating arbitrary spaces will probably be solved by wider advances in machine learning. Because a robot mapping its environment, planning its motion, and carrying out that motion while adapting to the dynamic environment, isn't being treated as a classic control systems problem any more, but fed into trained nets. It's too broad a problem for even sophisticated control systems, in the general case.

Even once robots can do amazing things, there needs to be an economic use case that's compatible with what they can do, how they're powered, and how long they can work for.

Similar to quadcopters in a way - they have changed the world in some limited ways, but so far they haven't scaled up to carry people or out to deliver parcels, so they remain niche. If someone figures out one day that robots can deliver burritos/assassinate dissidents/stack shelves efficiently, it could be a quick takeoff.
Yeah that was what I was going for, guests who come would not even know that there are electronics in the frame, and suddenly the art would change every now and then.

Good lobbyists in the FTC.
I know a couple of guys who took inspiration from this project and did something similar, on a smaller scale, here in Seattle.

There used to be a notorious bottleneck along a four-lane arterial heading downtown which feeds into a freeway onramp: for half a block, during certain times of day, one of the lanes converted to parking. Traffic would routinely back up for several blocks, as two lanes full of cars had to merge, pass by these 2-3 parking spaces, then split back out into two lanes again.

So... these two guys obtained hard hats, hi-viz vests, and indistinguishable-from-government-issue "No Parking Any Time" signs; one fine day they just walked up and installed them.

The signs have been there ever since. In fact you can look it up on the official Seattle Parking GIS map and see that the entire block is now marked "No Parking Allowed".

Google outlines future of its search engine
That is certainly true but somehow I suspect under-engineering is a more frequent problem in our industry than over-engineering.

IME retrospectives rarely sound like "We hired a team of strong developers, they did a solid job, but then the business failed as a result". The kind of developers who are strong enough to do a solid job are probably also experienced enough to recognise the other considerations in play and adapt if necessary.
Why would they bother? That's a terrible way to approach it.

Just pass legislation requiring in-country datacenters that can be decrypted by thoughtcrime enforcers, like Russia and China are doing. Trying to get this done via a CSAM list that's absurdly closely audited would be a huge waste of time and not provide any significant benefit, and if such a request were ever made public, would likely result in severe political and economic sanctions.

That's what everyone's missing in this argument. There's no need to be all underhanded and secretive when you can just pass laws and conduct military-backed demands upon companies using those laws. Trying to exploit the CSAM process would be a horrifically bad idea, and would result in public exposure and humiliation, rather than the much more useful outcome that simply passing a law would provide.

Many companies made processing credit cards easier. And then Stripe came along and made processing credit cards easy. This "phase transition" was what made Stripe so wildly successful.

My guess is that you might be moderately successful as a business if you can make it "easier to sell the the U.S. government" but what the market would reward in a huge way is a service that makes it easy to sell to the U.S. government.

My guess is that very few startups would find your current solution easy, with a still-confusing explanation of how the system works, the high price point, and "ask us" pricing model, etc. The bar for "easy" is quite high.

I really do hope someone solves this problem for the good of the country and for the sake of more good startups. Good luck.
> If my 4K structure can be copied, should it derive `Copy`? This leads to users implicitly copying it around instead of using references more aggressively.

Rust eliminates unnecessary memcpys, but this is a bit up to you. `Copy` as a synonym of "cheap to copy" is used by some crates, although this is not official AFAIK.

The user isn't their boss, a boss at Microsoft is. Who do they need to justify the changes to?
Well the databases are already there whether we like it or not.

Generally, with eIDAS, various websites can use an API to access the identity stored on your ID (public key) when you allow it.

Crucially, every time you want to make a legally binding change or sign a document, you need to ask your ID to use its private key to cryptographically sign it. Typically this operation needs a PIN. Without such a valid signature, you won't be able to use someone's credit line.

With a well designed system, the government can provide an API to give institutions/apps unique, but app-specific people identifiers. Those can be trusted to each be tied to a unique person, without making it possible to track the services they use (unlike the easily trackable SSN).
The federal ministry of information technology security should be granted the same veto powers on technical decisions as the ministry of finance has in financial matters. It's absurd the the ministry of the interior can just reject something like this.

After the relevations about Elm's dysfunctional leadership culture[1] I have seen vocal discouragement about investing in Elm, and reasonably so. This is a culture where Elm's leaders actively attempt to shut down criticism as "emotional violence"[2], which is just incredibly immature hyperbole.

In a school where I studied, something similar was used as a trick question during a history exam. "Which language Vladimir Lenin used to write correspondence addressed to Karl Marx?" or something like that. Nearly half of the class failed on this. To those unaware: Lenin discovered Marx's book, Capital, in 1887, while Marx died in 1883, so there could not be any correspondence.

JSON solves tons and tons of pain points around CSV... for implementing anything that reads/imports/normalizes CSV data. Just the fact that CSV has multiple standards around the quote/escape/separator/NULL character-sequences, with the choice not get encoded into the document, means that any format that doesn't have that problem is instantly 100x better in terms of not experiencing a disaster of data-garbling-on-import.

Why is it that so many people's thoughts go to "killer robots" when they see a humanoid robot, but not when they see, for instance, a quad copter? Or an assembly line robotic arm? Is it literally just Terminator? I guess more likely Terminator was made because it plays on a deeper psychological phemonenon—a fear of entities that look similar to us, but different. (Which presumably evolves from a rational fear of hostile outsiders to one's tribe. The same instinct that causes other maladaptive impulses in modern society, like jingoism and racism.)
The reality is that a lot of sensors provide greater resolution than the lens can resolve so the actual spatial resolution barely changes.
No you don't. Businesses can load their own applications, bulk purchase software directly from the vendor and avoid paying app store fees (even manage the licenses), force deploy applications to their fleet of iOS devices, and force update iOS applications. We've been able to do that, and have been doing that, for years. No need to get any permission from Apple, no need to submit anything to their App Store, no need to pay Apple anything.
This debate isn't really about people being dumb inasmuch as it's about someone accusing every single person around him of being dumb.

He doesn't appear to be saying that. He's talking in those paragraphs about systems, and arguing that by building systems that scale, we're creating bureaucracy that de-motivates the most elite people even though it was originally intended to allow the excellent performers to rise.

But he doesn't present much evidence for this beyond a speculative "If someone’s truly a member of the elite, are able to generate elite-level results, if you wanted to demotivate them and draw them out of the field, what would you do? You would surround them with mediocrity and drown them in bullshit" that's extrapolated from what the founders he's talking to are telling him.

One potential blind spot seems to be "maybe weeding through tedium is a good quality in many researchers, since much of research is more tedious than founding a startup." After all, he's basing this on talking to people who left the system, not talking to today's top researchers.

I think a bigger one is that he says even in his system, most (50%+) of the companies he funds fail to do anything interesting. So this is still, from the same sort of standard of efficiency applied to researchers here, woefully wasteful.

I'm also not really clear on how he thinks it should be changed.
Regardless of what it ought to say, I see the same effect with the destinations “earth”, “saturn”, “america”, “russia”, “newton”, “silver”, and “lego”, though the date varies from the 16th to the 20th.
This was what happened, and why you heard people saying things like 'I've got some barrels in my garage we could use.'

I reiterate that not once ever have gas/oil speculators lowered prices because they went too high, but they damn sure froze prices when they thought they were dipping too low.

I seem to remember people saying back when it 'dipped too low' (speculators'/tycoons' words) that they most certainly would retard prices if they went too high. They pinky-double-scouts'-honor swore.

Never happened. Especially scummy because oil prices affect everything.

I believe it was late 90s, the last time gas dipped to $1/gal and below. It didnt last but a few days but to hear the oil companies cry it was the end of times and they were going bankrupt.

As an aside has anyone seen the Dubai videos of the children of these tycoons getting bored and racing/flipping/destroying $500k+ cars? If not search Saudi super car stunts/flips/races/wheelies/crashes/whatever.

Obviously oil prices are priced accurately and the companies/families that own them are making the slimmest of margins, we should cut them slack- oh wait, that's every business now.

I hate what humanity has become.
