>By doing this they are breaking millions of links

But are they? I don't know how to search for pages that link to gu.com because the Google link: prefix doesn't work anymore, but up until a few days ago the gu.com domain appears to have been used to immediately redirect to the main theguardian.com site. Perhaps it was rare for users to post a gu.com link because they would copy whatever was in their browser address bar, which would not be a gu.com address after the instant redirect?

With browsers all now doing 'smart' URL searches from the address bar, and autocompleting domain names, maybe this shows that a short domain is not as valuable as it used to be? Particularly for a company like The Guardian which is already well known at its normal longer domain name

That could mean the domain is much more valuable to another company than it was to the Guardian, so it might be smart for them to sell it? Maybe they just couldn't find a way to monetize it that was worth more than $2.5 mil for them? As time goes by, maybe the domain was in fact getting less valuable?

It would be interesting to know how much The Guardian originally paid for gu.com

Very interesting anyway, thanks for posting this!
Nearly 100% of Theranos's investors were West Coast people and prominently included Tim Draper and Larry Ellison.

i've been using openoffice and then libreoffice since time immemorial. it has certainly improved quite a lot and nowadays, i use it exclusively.

beyond macros and powerquery features, it is most definitely a good office alternative.

i know...i know.. the documents dont look as they on office but that is the thing, an office 2020 word file wont look same on word 2013 so that issue is same with office....

beyond that, there are long standing issues that have been fixed, filter by color for example,

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Feature_Comparison:_Libr...

this page lists major and minor feature differences and it has improved a lot.

people should try and give bug reports,
Ive done a form of TDD where I have a test scenario set up that generates a picture and I tweak the code until the picture looks right and then "freeze" it.

Once frozen the test compares the picture (or other artefact) against the generated picture (or artefact).

Im not sure if it'd be useful in your situation though.
The route of infection for most intestinal worms is:

> Worm in intestine

> Eggs deposited near butthole

> Causes an itchy arse, which people itch

> Eggs on fingers. Eggs are sticky and not easily washed.

> Fingers touch food being prepared.

> People eat food.

I suspect therefore that communal food preparation (ie. one person prepares everyone's food, perhaps on a rota) is the main cause of this.
Finite yes... As otherwise you wouldn't have a stopping problem as you could preselect from all options. What I didn't know is how good each option was, whether to wait for better or not.

n is finite as time provides the limit to n. We were looking to move within 6 months (this was a hard requirement based on personal circumstances) and I'd already established the number of likely options according to the rate they appeared on the market.

I have tried that with tablets. Its decent when you have a table to set it on, but sitting somewhere where you have to place it on your lap (train, bus, bench) the laptop formfactor works much much better.
He did it with oxygen with fixed ropes and having a whole bunch of elite climbers leading for him, setting the ropes, so he could follow them up. He's a fit guy for sure, but there's nothing groundbreaking here. No new ascents/routes, not leading at all, basically throwing bodies at the problem + oxygen.

Messner did it all 40+ years ago, without any modern tech/gear, without oxygen, often on new routes (not the standard ascents), and leading the climbs himself. He's another breed entirely to Nims.

Scarcity is a hard requirement for something to be money.

Since we as a society require money to transfer and preserve value, the money being open-source, decentralized artificial scarcity(like Bitcoin) does not contradict with FOSS ideals. On the contrary, it widens them from a technological sphere to economics.
The solution here is for the company to make a proper help page explaining that, then respond to all the support emails with a link to the help page.

No need to poison the well for everybody else due to wanting to avoid a "support burden."

My own product/company has a few common issues like this, and the help page strategy works fine. Answering emails for these types of things is not a big deal as long as you have stock answers/pages prepared.

Set some timeframe you'd like to buy a house in, x months. For small enough x, you can choose some constant rate of houses coming on to the market per month y. xy is your finite number of options.

The question then becomes: how much do the simplifications made affect the outcome of applying what we know about the secretaries problem to the real world situation? Someone could probably write a neat article about it.
Clojure is such a joy in my programming life. Even though I don't use it in my job, learning it made me change partially my programming style in Java, such as functions decomposition.

Sadly I don't see any chance that I'm going to use it for real job in the future. The market is too narrow for this language. Hard fact that If I don't use it for the job, I cannot reach to its full potential. Guess it should stay as my hobby language for now.
I wonder if there's a definition of a non-water fluid in this context.

Would zero-calories lightly flavored seltzer count? Most people probably consider that water... But presumably hard seltzer would definitely count, as would Pepsi Max. So maybe it's a combination of factors like energy content, flavor, aroma, color, etc.
You are absolutely correct. We need an organisation that channels lots of money into hardware and software reverse engineering. This is of course how Linux started (without the funding); developers doing reverse engineering in their spare time on the hardware that they had and wanted to use.

Fixed lines, Nims wasn't leading, standard routes/ascents, tons of money and tech used.

Messner could make the same ascents today at 70+ years old given all those advantages. But Messner did it all 40 years ago, leading the climbs himself, without oxygen, and often on new routes/first ascents.

> have you ever noticed how legal analogies online often have fundamental flaws?

Yes, they do, and none have more flaws than people trying to equate <speech plus behaviour that is not speech> with <speech>.

> the first amendment to the constitution does not modify the original constitution

Where in the first amendment does it say anything of the sort? It's a pretty short one, only one sentence long, but I can't seem to find it.

When two parts of the document contradict eachother, it's not at all clear to me why you are giving precedence to the older one. To me, it seems that the more recent document should be the one that carries more weight.

But if we're going to go with the oldest one, I'd remind us that American law is based on precedents made in English common law, long before the United States was founded. Perhaps we could plumb millenia-old legal cases for precedents that the constitution and its amendments should not be overriding...

And besides, speech is a fundamental human right, far more important than the development of arts and science. You can't have the latter without the former.
The key part of the Secretary Problem is that you know the number of applicants, and use this to determine how many candidates to examine (1/e of the total under the optimal policy) to determine the selection threshold.

Instead, it sounds like you arbitrarily decided to use 2 examples to pick a selection threshold for the "price to square foot" at which you'd accept a property.
> At least Elon is considering moving beyond that 'finite planet' limitation

The limitations of Earth are basically about size of arable land, amount of clean water, lack of toxins in environment and the climate (percentage of areas where it's not too cold/hot for humans to survive outside). Other planets are terrible in all of those aspects and inhabiting them does not make sense (if we can solve these problems there, we can also solve them on Earth, but much cheaper/easier). They are hostile barren rocks that make places like Death Valley or Antarctica look like paradise on earrth.

> Let's assume we're talking about tax evasion: the government is telling its citizens "Give me 50% of your profit or I'll put you in jail". This is violence and it's immoral.

I could just as well say "hoarding resources and not sharing them with the rest of society, just because you're able to, deprives others. This is violence and immoral." That's not necessarily my personal view, but do you see how morals can differ?

> Escaping this violence is not a crime in my book.

The key concept there being that it's "your" book. Laws are not objective and absolute, they're the result of the society they exist in, preferably (in my and most people's opinion) derived from democratic participation. Your book is not aligned with the laws of the country you live in. You can lobby to change that, but it does not mean that the laws are invalid or shouldn't apply.

> They shouldn't be able to just put the burden on corporations and citizens

But 'they' already do put this compliance burden on citizens and businesses in all other avenues of finance. There is nothing new here, and as I said before "but Blockchain" is not a good enough reason to exempt sections of the industry from this.

> Privacy is a reasonable expectation

Sure, to some extent, but absolute, mathematical privacy even in the face of court orders? Really not so much. Yeah, we can agree that 'they' should have to get warrants for a lot of this stuff, but services like Tornado make it impossible to execute said warrants, they do a complete end run around legal, legit access to this information. Which is why we as a society seek to stop those sorts of services from running in the first place. Like I've been at pains to say in my other comments here: there is an absolute fuck-ton of middle ground between complete financial transparency and complete, mathematical financial opacity.

> Are you against citizens having access to cryptography the state can't break as well?

No, because fundamentally speech and finance are not equivalent.

The fact that you can use cryptography to permanently obscure financial transactions doesn't mean that we should just allow that to happen in the name of privacy, privacy of a degree which we explicitly don't afford to actors outside of the cryptocurrency space. Encrypted comms - great, services using cryptography to facilitate money-laundering, not so much. There is no inconsistency here. Lots of finance houses use all sorts of fancy crypto to keep their stuff secure, but they also keep compliance records so that if the courts do come knocking with the appropriate legal rights to data, they can deliver it. I know this goes massively against the ruling ethos in cryptocurrency circles, and a lot of cipherpunk type mentality, and that's really why we're seeing this stuff escalate, because as more and more people try to take ETH/BTC/whatever mainstream, the more it buts up against the existing system and the more the regulators take notice.

> The corrupt buying democracy out from under us? It's already happening, it's not even hidden and money laundering laws don't stop anything.

It is happening, but I disagree, money laundering and oversight laws catch a bunch of stuff, there have been multiple stories of (for instance) Dictators' wives being caught buying expensive property with dirty cash in Western nations, then being denied access to their accounts.

I agree, lobbying in the US needs serious attention. I don't think Tornado Cash is going to fix that, in fact widespread use of such services is almost guaranteed to make it much, much worse, especially in countries where we already restrict lobbying much more!

Sure, but his company is a credit card processing company, so there are probably a lot of tech workers.

I tried using Krita several times, mostly because of its animation features, to replace my current GIMP + a custom set of animation plugins setup. But it's always unbearably slow on my computer for some reason. By slow I mean lag when updating the canvas - there's a very noticeable delay between moving the stylus with my hand (I'm using a Wacom Cintiq) and when the line appears on the screen.

It's probably something specific about my hardware and/or Debian system (I've been trying Krita's AppImage downloads). GIMP on the other hand doesn't have any problems with it.
nouveau has the problem that they rely on nvidia signed firmware blobs for some functionality (like reclocking), and if nvidia don't want to give them those blobs, then they can't use the features the blobs enable. With nvidia's Linux kernel driver going open (but firmware and userspace staying proprietary), the firmware will be released separately and be redistributable, so nouveau will be able to use it.

> One thing that supports this view is that there are several Julia packages that are wrappers around existing C/Fortran/C++ libraries

That's an understandable misconception. But the reason these packages use C/Fortran libraries is because they're already there, and writing a wrapper is much easier than rewriting the library in Julia. It's not a performance thing, it's a person-hours thing and wanting to use the libraries right now.

On the one hand, this means you have binary dependencies and FFI you have to manage.

On the other hand, it saves you a lot of niggly optimization work and dealing with edge cases, which the C/Fortran libraries have already gone through and done for you.

Once the former starts to outweight the latter and/or more person-hours become available, the libraries start to get ported to be fully in Julia. And the tools available in the ecosystem and the compiler codegen are good enough that there's no artifical performance ceiling due to being in Julia i.e. you do get performance equivalent to being in C or Fortran.
YMMV but I was using phones of this type https://store.planetcom.co.uk/products/astro-slide with a slideout keboard for quite a while some years ago.

It was not that I could type faster (a swipe style onscreen keyboard is faster than all non full QWERTY keyboards IMHO) but that when I was writing a lot, long text or terminal command it was much more comfortable.
Simple answer, because it's a single OS with a single focus and centralized development. Compare the Arch WIKI to the OpenBSD docs and marvel at the difference in scale.

There are downsides to it too, Linux has a lot faster development and broader compatibility but this also results in more complex amd harder to maintain docs.

When an attacker gets into a dormant account and sends spam, it's because they have already mined all the data in that account... Ie. they've already taken over every account that used that account for password resets, they've already stolen any credit card numbers they could find in the drafts folder or pictures of driving licenses and passports that were uploaded to Google Photos...

Sending spam is the last step... The steps beforehand are much more damaging to the user involved. And, sure, you could blame them for reusing their login password, but not being well versed on computer security isn't widespread, nor a reason to punish them.

I think there can be nice overlap with "slowmads" and this.

The issue of insufficient holiday can be remedied by working fully remotely, but that's not without drawbacks:

- 1/3 of your time (assuming an 8h day) travelling is actually working. If you're stuck in a train it's not too bad, but otherwise you're sacrificing travel time to work.

- Your destination and transit methods MUST have internet access. There are few async/remote roles that would work without internet access in terms of communicating and being able to work.

That being said, I don't think that crosses out this method of travel entirely. As with other "alternative" forms of living (eg tiny homes, van life, homesteading), you always have to make compromises for what you want.
Umberto Eco's The Prague Cemetary touches on this too (and a lot of other interesting stuff).
Good question actually, after all even whisk(e)y usually contains > 50% water (not sure about 19th century whiskey though). I would say: as long as it can be identified (by smell, taste or color) as non-water, it is a non-water flood. Or, better still, you could go by the source: if the flood is caused by rain, melting snow, a river, a dam failure etc. etc., it's a water flood, if it's a failed fruit juice tank, it's a non-water flood :)
