Something that would hit all of these fuel-air explosive mixtures would be an oxygen scavenger, which would also likely make the electrical and mechanical stuff inside the machine happier.

Not sure how practical that would be. Another scheme would be one or more sensors detecting an attack triggering the release of a lot of CO2 to keep the fuel-oxygen mixture in the machine at a minimum.
I agree but I think we must make it clear that the work we ask people to do should be similar to the work the employer wants done, but not work the employer would benefit from. I believe it is important to pay for work done for my benefit. When I've been the hiring manager, once I need to determine if the candidate can do the particular work I need done I'll pay them to do it. Often one day for $150. Usually they offer to do it for minimum wage but the difference is trivial. Many offer to do it for free but again I won't let them.

On the other hand, I tell job seekers to get to work doing things for others whether for pay or not. This is perfectly legal because you are working for yourself and the only person who can pay you less than minimum wage is you.

I wrote about how to do this legally, morally, and ethically here: http://www.noshortageofwork.com/pages/2286
I think the biggest distinguishing feature of this is being able to have it encrypt emails with customer provided keys stored on their Key Management Service. This hypothetically should prevent three letter agencies from accessing emails, but I'm not sure that is the top feature on everyone's mind when they are looking to set up email for their company. It definitely piques my interest though.
This to me just emphasizes the need for services like Nilas' email APIs. I don't want to have to worry about integrating with yet another email provider.

That being said, I trust Amazon's data centers and API stack far more then Microsoft alone.
This is where I get confused. How is it compiling to these elements?

This repeats the misconception that the 10x is the difference in productivity between average or median developer and the best developer. However the actual statistics is difference in productivity between the best and worst developer.

Judging from my personal experience and I would imagine that the median developer is a 3-4xer. With the wrost developers delivering a third as much, and other developers delivering 3 times as much.

Dangerous industrial places like ports, for example, have big fences and security cameras and security officers watching those cameras and driving around. It could be that hiring a tractor babysitter is cheaper than all of that.
There are my idle thoughts on the matter:

I have also caught the nostalgia bug, but I suspect that in the future we will come to see this as a bug in people, not in technology. And, eventually, I suspect that we will "fix" that bug, for better or worse, by more tightly integrating our consciousness with the hyper-reality which we have created.

In the end, we won't have evolved beyond the online world -- we will have evolved beyond the "actual" world, or put another way, we will have evolved beyond the human sentimentality that values reality over hyper-reality.

How terrorist in any regard? The word seems to be thrown around these days.
Timothy Snyder (historian, famous for the "Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin" book) has nice speech about Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and he describes the philosophy Russian use in recent propaganda as "applied postmodernism".

It (this "applied postmodernism") starts with the assumption that truth doesn't exists, and goes to prove that all possible narratives are as good as any other, so don't criticize us, let us do what we want in our backyard (including ex-soviet countries).

You do the same in most of your comments.

I highly recommend his speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKFObB6_naw

Starts with short history of Ukraine but it's very short and most western viewers need it to understand anything anyway.

The fragment about applied postmodernism starts at 44:00 but it's worth listening through the whole thing - a lot of insights (and some that you probably will agree with, even if you won't share the conclusions).
That's why we are NOT a mattress company.

React is much more than just the V in MVC. It sells itself in that way for presenting the ability of being just exactly that. Thus, it can quite easily coexist with other frameworks. I actually think the established and well known selling points of React, like the Virtual DOM and "V in MVC" are just very nice side effects. The most important thing is the concepts and principles adopted from FRP, which in my opinion makes React a very powerful tool for JavaScript in general, a local optima of what can be done with JS right now.
Nope, it's all filtered and processed locally.
>What’s interesting to me of course is that even though they don’t have a convenient API for all of the data, all of the data (except passwords they said) is public. So if you and I can see it, Facebook, e.g. could easily see it too, and tell what everyone is doing just the same.

If true, this sort of nullifies their claim not to sell your data. No one needs to buy it; it's just sitting there!
My family has been watching this movie since as early as I can remember.

If you can't sit through the initial parts the real fun starts around here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaVwqraUKxA).

It's largely a collection of clips from early inventors showing off their amazingly horrible and amazing creations. You've likely seen many of the clips individually as they are offered used in other films and commercials.

It's hilarious, insightful and inspirational. Hope others enjoy. Hard to find (I have the VHS).
Yes, that should be possible – it loads JS packages from a custom server right now but there's no reason it can't use Webpack. You'll be able to reload immediately (without recompiling) already by pressing Cmd-R in the simulator.
This is really not all that uncommon. Microsoft gives regular access to its Windows source code for auditing to Russia, China and other countries.

Combine this with recent activity on the US's behalf to backdoor services in China, for example giving US Federal agents access to the GMail accounts of Chinese nationals. Projects like this in the United States are not atypical. You'll remember that the surveillance programs selectively revealed by journalists with access to the Snowden documents that they are administered by the 'Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Courts' - and that the United States participation in the Five Eyes partnership with the core of UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand (now expanded to include others) is a charter to intercept global intelligence and communications - that Germany's BND, an ally of the US's NSA, had called for the boycott of the more recent Windows Operating Systems as its implementation and support for TPM attestation amounted to the US backdoor. We've also learned that the United States CIA created a Twitter-like service under a front corporation, deployed it in Cuba, and used it to attempt to foment a revolution (in 2014). The United States Department of Defense has studied how to propagandize entire countries, in fact entire regions of the world, over Twitter and social media. It's Justice Department funded studies on how to tweak search results and social media banners to influence election outcomes. (Such meddling has been caught in Indian search engines, but attribution is not currently known.)

No one should be surprised after the wealth of information disclosed through the Snowden documents and the constellation of other facts that China has a legitimate worry that software sold to their banks may contain surveillance or covert access capabilities. One might even speculate that these policies are a product of Chinese Intelligence which suggests that Western allies either have plans to do or have in the past done exactly that.
I think it's more likely that the internet will change to serve those needs better, and we'll get better at using it.
Sorry for an ignorant question, but what would be the relationship between ReactJS and React Native?
Around 90% of the response we've gotten has been positive — our users love the fact that we're merging with a product that they already use and love. The combined user experience is going to be far better than the experience we have today.

Maintaining a minimal tool for screen sharing is a nice idea in theory, but I know from experience that we do best when we're able to focus on one thing. And we really want to do a great job of making the integrated communication + collaboration experience as awesome as we can. Based on many conversations with our customers, I know that communication of the sort Slack provides was something that most of our users either needed or already used within Slack. Agreed, that it's most and not all of our users, but we can't really make everyone happy all of the time. I do believe we are making the most people the most happy through this, though.
If it was me, I'd buy off-the-shelf explosive gas detectors (which already commonly exist) and when they went off instead of sounding an alarm I'd release nitrogen or argon gas. Both are inert or inert for all intents and purposes (as with nitrogen).

Inert gases are already used in fire suppression systems. Even if the flammable gas was still flammable when mixed with our almost inert gases, its would still likely slow down the burn and reduces pressure within the ATM/cash point.

However there is likely a realistic limit on how much gas you'd store in the ATM, so they could trick the system into pre-firing, wait a few minutes, and then try again. So you'd likely want to set off the building's alarms to stop such an attack vector (even assuming a 10 minute police response, they likely cannot try the attack twice).

Ever been in a corn field? No need for fences and cameras. They are way out in the middle of nowhere. Distance makes them safe. I spent large portions of my childhood in corn field/hay fields etc, and nobody ever, ever went out there but me and people like me who had business there.
Yeah, the Internet is just a fad. Because people yearn for a simpler time. We will shortly revert to pre-industrial Amish lifestyle. :)

People have always been nostalgic for a simpler time.
Could someone expand a bit on 'adding backdoors'? Article only mentions it at beginning, and it kind of feels like something was lost in translation, perhaps it was 'to check for backdoors'?

It is all about reducing dependency, and backdoors in banks, does not really fit in.

How about we offer a relocation bonus to emergency personnel who work in San Francisco but live in Contra Costa County?

"A third of firefighters live in the city, while 16 percent live in San Mateo County, 11 percent in Sonoma County and 8 percent in Alameda County... This could matter tremendously in an earthquake if emergency responders aren’t able to make it into the city."

Remember, the 1989 earthquake happened on a clear, windless day. Not so 1906.

The empty bottle of Macallan in the background makes it just that much better.
Most dangerous industrial processes like that I've seen go two ways: if a person makes it in the system emergency stops, and if it can't there's signage clearly stating brainless machines are at work (and always guards and such protecting actively moving parts).

So in this case, the parent is likely right. The machine shouldn't be able to assume the field is empty. And since it's neither brainless nor can it have guards over the cutting implements, the next best thing is an area-of-denial zone around/in front of the tractor; pierce the zone and the tractor halts as fast as possible. And that pretty much leaves you with a vision system to watch for that zone violation.

(It's easy to thoughtlessly make a minor mistake or forget something for just a second that otherwise appears to be a Darwin Award nomination. Constant vigilance is hard and impossible comprehensively, and while necessary, safety in layers is always a good idea. For example, I know at least some Kuka robotic arms with a cage denying access, yet robot will also notice a torque error and dump it's motors to a braking resistor, just in case the extra resistance was a squishy person - bypassing all interlocks is stupid and you'd have it coming, but death is non-OSHA-compliant.)
This article is full of sophistry. That doesn't mean the theory is wrong, but this article gives no evidence in favor of it!

For example, it claims that they couldn't have surrendered because of the destructive power of the bomb, because there had been worse bombing raids. First of all, the Japanese could have considered those bombing raids to have been lucky. It is also possible that the raids that caused more damage were in much larger cities, such as Tokyo. It is also possible that the psychological effect was greater for nuclear weapons. The Japanese had no idea how many nuclear weapons we had. They may have thought that the first two were warnings, and if they didn't surrender we would start dropping 30 every hour until they were obliterated. If, as the article says, bombing raids were carried out by 500 bombers at a time, why didn't the Japanese have every reason to believe the next major raid would drop 500 nuclear weapons?

The article also contradicts itself. It says that the bomb couldn't have swayed the supreme council, since news only arrived after they had met and the vote to surrender was deadlocked... I mean, what? Only if they had already surrendered before they got the news would the bomb be proved irrelevant. They voted and did not surrender, and yet after news of the bomb arrived they in fact met again and then did vote to surrender.

There is no doubt that the bomb would have a huge psychological impact beyond merely the measurements of the damage it did.

Thought experiment: A boxer is set to fight the Champ. Which of these situations is more likely to cause the boxer to back out of the match?

1. The boxer learns that the Champ once beat another boxer for round after round, and in the 12th round the boxer finally died from his cumulative injuries.

2. The boxer learns that the Champ always carries a gun to the ring and shoots his opponent in the face before the fight even starts.

In one scenario you may think you are going to lose, but at least you'll go down swinging and maybe you'll get lucky somehow. In the other, he is going to murder you with a bullet and all you have is boxing gloves and no shirt.

Runtime performance, modularity, headless testing have been absolutely critical as we've thought about how to make a hyper-extendable email client on Atom Shell. Having a consistent component architecture has let us enable 3rd party applications that just seamlessly integrate with the rest of the core email client. Now with React Native, we might be able to do this with mobile soon too!

Email can go better than APIs - it has publicly available protocols and there are many implementations of them (including many good FOSS implementations). They are called IMAP and SMTP! Any email client can integrate with any email server, and has been able to since the beginning of email

Not just any audio but known audio. Finding known video is something they can do already too. That's why some people upload clips from their favorite shows and flip them horizontally to avoid automatic detection. Think of it like a hash for the audio/video portion. Pretty easy to check if it's in the database.

You run Browserify to bundle your modules offline, and then embed that bundle. With require1k you just embed the script and use one of the API methods to load your main module and everything is downloaded as needed. They are two different approaches.

require1k has a limited feature set (due to its size), creates a lot of http requests and is really suited for a small prototyping where you don't want to set up Browserify's build process. Browserify is what you should actually be using for production sites.
Oh that's sooooo great. Thank you.
React has, from day one, sought to liberate itself from the underlying low level building blocks of a particular environment. There were always good reasons to so (normalizing browser inconsistencies etc). There is another benefit of the specific way in which we've built this library level layer of abstraction - we've formed a serializable boundary that allows vanilla React to sit on one side, and any set of lower level building blocks on the other. Before today, we simply had the DOM renderers sitting on the other side of that boundary. React Native replaces the DOM renderers with native renderers which allows people to render platform <View>/<ScrollView>/<NativeWhatever> instead of <div>/<span>. Other than that, you get to use the exact same React API that you already know (even down to the event bubbling). You can bridge to things that are only available on the platform, and can in general make higher performance granular building blocks that cannot be accomplished with web technology (such as <Image> components that decode images more efficiently or with different concurrency models). As with everything, JSX is not required to take advantage of this - and you can use any of the compile-to-js languages that you use with React today.

Summary of what I can make out so far:

* Write JS as usual. Write React as usual, but don't use the DOM JSX elements (or the React.DOM) factories - instead use the new 'NativeView' elements.

* The code you write runs in a Javascript interpreter on the background thread.

* The NativeView elements communicate transparently with a native server running on the main thread, which renders and fills native views based on the instructions sent.

* The JS runs react the usual way - I'm assuming the tree reconciliation happens the same way as well - the diff instructions are just sent to the native view server.
The alarm is part of the mobile app and it works in a similar way to the stock alarm clock app only informed by your current sleep phase.

Here's the difference.

Say you set your alarm for 7 am. The app starts looking at the sleep phase you are in from 6:30 am (this is configurable), if you enter a light sleep phase (N1) at 6:45, the alarm goes off and wake up without feeling groggy.
If you don't enter a light sleep phase, the alarm goes off regardless at 7 am so you don't miss meetings and such.
IANAL but my boss lives upstairs in the same house we work in. What he does is that he rents out the office from himself as an individual to his business. But that's just for the main floor, it doesn't include his personal living area. I certainly can't speak to how things work in the UK but as long as you kept the business and personal accounts separate and charged a reasonable rate I don't think they'd be any particular problems.
