agree, from an european POV this story sounds crazy and I would be afraid to even invite random people inside my house for fear of repercussions that I'm unaware of.

Personally, I like the use of Bobby Byrd's "I know you got soul" by Eric B & Rakim on their track conveniently called "I know you got soul". A combination of multiple samples punctuated by Rakim inventive lyrics make it a timeless classic IMO.

If getting compromising material was enough to set US policy, USSR/Russia would have been controlled American politics by now.
Right - just like the common attitude towards things like the FSF has changed, generally the hacker ethos' Overton Window has shifted. People don't value the same things anymore and you often see older people's incredulity at things like people using macOS and not really caring about whether it's open source or not.

Doesn't this happen in every movement? The movement shifts things far enough that people don't see the movement any more since they're more comfortable.
Geopolitically they both hate iran.

Culturally both are fairly similar - both are "western"-style democracies (e.g. representative democracies with constitutions that value rule of law, independent judiciary, etc)

And, the following might be controversial - but many of americas strategic allies do much worse shit than israel, they just get called out on it less. Hell, Saudi arabia is literally murdering people in embasies and still seems to have a good relationship with the usa somehow.
Why Writing for Medium Is Bootstrapping a Flutter Dev Studio
I was there, too, and I wasn't alone in my assessment:

https://www.databasejournal.com/features/mysql/article.php/2... (to pick a contemporary example using that exact word) suggests that the 2003 release of mysql4 ends the "toy status". Others might have had different thresholds, but that reputation was hard earned and back then still pretty apropos (to a declining degree over time because MySQL caught up). I lost data to MySQL more than once (if memory serves but it's been a while: MyISAM was a mess, the InnoDB integration not ready yet)

To handwave two extreme positions of those days (because I'm too lazy to look up ancient forums where such stuff has been discussed at length), it's very possible that different groups approached things differently:

Members of a PHP User Group probably didn't consider MySQL a toy but the best thing since sliced bread, given how closely aligned PHP was to MySQL back then (it got more varied over time, but that preference can still be felt in PHP projects)

OTOH when you had a significant amount of perl coders in your peer group, it was rather likely that some of them could go on for days about how _both_ PHP and MySQL are toys when anybody dared to talk about PHP (which ties in neatly with the original post and its reference about "The One")

[bonus: more recent example: http://www.backwardcompatible.net/145-Why-is-MySQL-still-a-t...]
I read a lot of anti-diplomas ideology, especially from US culture. Over the years I've realized that the multi-years selection people go through in academia is a decent and most importantly long process to select people.

A lot of the conversation is on interviews these days, on the idea that anyone can be a genius programmer after a bootcamp. While I don't deny it's possible, I think traditional selection based on the school people went to, and building a relationship between companies and school is a good thing.

Trying to holistically evaluate a worker in a few hours is not nice. It's very intense for candidates to have such opportunities to unlock in such a short time. People prepare for interviews intensely, and can live rejections as a deep traumas as a result. Having this process happen over years in academia seems healthier, and more accurate.

Companies would benefit from having their HR spend time studying curriculums of some schools, and build relationships. That guarantees a steady flow of qualified workers.

I see this where I live here in Japan, and I'm quite found of the work culture / society it produces.
Something is changing in the US though.

It's possible Facebook uses the accelerometer for bot detection or click fraud detection. They could use the data to help work out whether a human is interacting with the phone or a robot (do an image search of "click farm" if you want an idea of why this might work).

If the goal was to increase product longevity why did Apple only admit this wonderful measure only after it was proven by a 3rd party?

If this was such an altruistic measure why would the geniuses at the Genius Bar deny that my mothers phone had slowed down and throw diagnostic tests at our faces? Why was the exasperated Genius, who could clearly tell that the phone was slow indeed but his successful diagnostics meant there was nothing he can do, reduced to swiping up all the apps on the phone to kill them, when we both knew that if iOS was working properly that should do nothing?

Portrait of a Detransitioner as a Young Woman
It's definitely a country and region specific thing. Where I come from Telegram reigns supreme amongst young people. It's practically the default at universities. Custom stickers, polls, really useful bots - make it perfect for group settings and collaboration. It even scales really nicely from small groups for conversation to large groups for polls and dissemination of info.

No numbers needed means it's a no-brainer using Telegram for group communication where you may not want everyone in the group to know your number. Some university modules have large Telegram groups for everyone reading the course.
> Both services support adding non platform games through their shortcut/executable.

The multiplayer services are independent and crossplay is an exception, that's what I think they were getting at. Being able to launch an executable from a different store doesn't matter if your copy uses Steamworks for multiplayer and the copy from the MS store doesn't support that.

> File a bug report? Or you just came up with some hypothetical issues?

It's not a hypothetical issue or a bug, it's a common problem for games that use anti-cheat software. Refusing to run when virtualization features are turned on or virtualization software is installed/present is a common tactic they use and if you file a report it'll usually get immediately closed as wontfix, because it's a tradeoff they decide to make.

Looks great, just tried it.

One feature that is missing: "reload map" or something. It's only showing things near my "real location"; but I'd also like to explore different locations (e.g. a city I'd like to visit next weekend).

For example "Komoot" is doing that really nice for hiking routes and similar activites: explore at my location, explore near a given location, use the map, ...

Because it's disrespectful, and dismissive of the effort Aaron made to make our world a better place. It's also overly pessimistic, sure there's trash people on the planet and they're often in positions of power. But they are not a majority and it is possible to genuinely affect change through activism and drawing attention to causes, no how matter how childish or petty the activism might seem.

Finally and most importantly on this site specifically it should be down voted because it is flagrantly anti intellectual to resign to the status quo and to tell people to not be disruptive and to basically "play the game" and go work for Facebook or whatever.

What's a person who has those views even doing on this site? Just go outside and play golf with the governor of Missouri or whatever.

If they were really only using it for this, it would only activate when viewing them.

It's good practice to only activate the accelerometer when in use because it uses up battery.
The way it works is a producer will grab dozens of samples, then they'll loop things. Some stuff will sound good, some wont. Most of it will require a little polish (EQing etc) to tidy up. While a producer will have an ear for it to begin with (which can be a learned skill) you have to bare in mind that you only hear the samples that did sound good and none of the dozens of samples that were rejected afterwards.

> 95% of the code I write is owned by my employer and is under NDA various other privacy / IP laws.

True, but would your employer care (if they found out) if you copy/pasted a small portion of code that’s not considered critical IP (like util functions, and an integration syncing records from your backend the Salesforce, or something tangential to the business outside the core product)

May technically be breaking your employment agreement, but I can’t imagine it would be too hard to pluck out a decent amount of code, and re-write portions of it if necessary to “anonymize” it for interviewing purposes.

Or if you happen to be interviewed by someone like me, my approach is simply “if you can’t show me the code, show me the UI and explain how the backend / frontend works, and a discussion ensues.
First of all thanks for your extensive answers and interest in this topic :)

> There's an argument to be made that one should move loads to 1pm since then the country could increase build out of solar energy

That's a very good argument and I think you got the point of what I'm trying to convey: Marginal carbon intensity is a nice idea but extremely hard to compute in practice because you would need to anticipate decisions of many actors. Average carbon intensity, on the other hand, is a very good metric for shifting loads because you increase demand at times where there is many renewables feeding into the grid.

What would be even more interesting is actively exploiting the fact that sometimes energy is actually "for free" e.g. wind turbines are sometimes "shut off" if the grid cannot handle more energy because they are easier, faster, and hence cheaper to start/stop than fossil-fired power plants. I guess there is a high correlation between these events and low average carbon intensity, but I don't have any data on it.

> of course you could just ignore the need for more hardware

I completely see your point, but the available capacity could just be a hard constraint to load shifting efforts. An approach that is different and that I just came across recently is the Zero-carbon could (http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~aachien/lssg/research/zccloud...). It's covered also in this talk: https://youtu.be/rX5H0oCxnfc. It's a very holistic view on the topic and somewhat overcomes the problem that we cannot reliably compute marginal carbon intensity for the entire power grid, by just optimizing for the stranded power in parts of the grid
So a hero in the dictionary sense of the word? In the sense of the commonly agreed upon definition?

This is not only an injustice, but also a stupidity. What I do with something I paid for should concern only me as long as it's within my personal bounds (no redistribution, no profit, no business, etc.) Breaking DRM for personal use should not and cannot be illegal.

It is a staggering read for sure. It's heartbreaking to imagine that little girl playing with something she thinks is a toy without knowing it is silently killing her.

It's easy to think the victims were stupid for playing with a weird glowing material but these are likely uneducated people who're just trying to get by. That they were able to run into such a dangerous substance is a tragedy.
For historical value, the effort to remove Aaron as Reddit co-founder by Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman.

paulgraham 40 points 14 years ago

Aaron's not wrong to call himself one of the founders. The company behind Reddit was a merger of two startups, one that made Reddit and one that made Infogami, and in that situation the founders of both startups are considered founders of the combined company.

Eh, if they do they’ll eventually discover some naughty persons have made a website that looks like a foreign bank right up until you log in with the appropriate username and password, at which point it turns out to be a naughty chat forum.

And no way to break the https encryption in advance without also making all online banking vulnerable to hackers.

Perhaps they’ll try to get around that by van Eck phreaking everyone’s phone/tablet/vr/computer screens. That will explode in the faces of both law enforcement and politicians when the fantasies in table 2 of this paper have official faces attached to them [link is research paper titled “What Exactly Is an Unusual Sexual Fantasy?”]: https://oraprdnt.uqtr.uquebec.ca/pls/public/docs/FWG/GSC/Pub...

Please don't prefer this. We shouldn't be ashamed of making mistakes or showing others that we are human. Human-rubber-duck-debugging also makes others more comfortable with you and will encourage them to seek you out for early feedback, questions, and discussions in general.
That's good except, as you point out, in the US where schools are paid by the individual. At least some of the anti-diploma sentiment here in the US is because we understand that it would just result in "people born rich are the only ones who can get hired for good jobs".

This is far from unique to nuclear materials. In the news today there was an explosion of a tanker truck full of petrol, which killed ~100 people. We cannot reliably warn people away from anything, and yet some industries are safer than others.

Applying this standard we’d have run away from petrol a long, long time ago. IOW, the standards you seem to use are unrealistic, and unevenly applied. This really isn’t against you: this exact line of reasoning is quite common and demonstrates that we are terrible at risk management.

That's not how a quick read of the wikipedia page on the history of bank notes reads.

The flip side of this argument is that having to explicitly allow accelerometer use is a bit of a pain - especially on the web where it's quite nice to just be allowed to make your design react to device motion without having to ask.

Maybe they could just reduce the sensitivity slightly to prevent things like speech recognition working (though I am skeptical of that working in the real world)

The sad/inspiring truth about the human condition is that no warnings will be guaranteed to:

- convey the danger factually

- make people believe or care about it

- discourage young/stupid/intoxicated/reckless/nihilistic people

- discourage smart people who are intrigued by the danger and will be compelled to explore as much of it as they can

- discourage angry people who want to bring the danger to their enemies.
