In the corporate world, the generally accepted internal policy is that email is not a system of record, and that when documents (including the email itself) are sent or received via email, those must be exported separately and saved in whatever is the system of record. This, of course, flies contrary to the trends in e-discovery from a prosecutorial point of view, but it does make sense.
This seems blog fails to convey the why of gitless. It looks like a very thin veneer that's trying to hide the index, which I think is a really bad idea. The index is one of the two main reasons I prefer git over mercurial.

The first paragraph says that git has usability issues, but no attempt is made to explain the reasoning and convince the reader that gitless solves these.

I also have a UI nitpick: long parameters should have two dashes instead of one so that short parameters can be freely combined; switches like -exc, -inc and -su go needlessly against common convention. You should also not do such arbitrary truncation... --exc and --inc match --exclude and --include unambiguously, so you get shortened forms for free if you simply do a prefix search.

There is plenty of blame to go around on all sides. Personally I feel like our entire system is antiquated and is due for a modern update. Unfortunately, it would probably take a complete collapse to ever get real change and it would be a really dangerous during the transition period. Things are bad, but they could be a whole lot worse for sure.
Interesting premise. I often wonder about liability issues in these kind of intermediary cases. The tenant signs agreement on basis of plain English summary. Landlord seeks to enforce agreement. Subsequently it turns out there is an error in the summarisation process and an important clause was missed or incorrectly summarised. Yes, the tenant will be liable to the landlord but a cause of action may be available against the intermediary.

Clearly the intermediary will have various disclaimers in their terms of use but that doesn't greatly assist the tenant and reduces the value of the proposition from the tenant's perspective. Certain disclaimers may be unlawful under consumer protection law also.

I tried to upload the following as a .docx document but got the 'Unsupported document' error.

RESIDENTIAL LEASE

Landlord permits you to stay in the property for 6 months from 1 January 2016.
In consideration you agree to provide Landlord with your firstborn within 30 days of his/her birth, or in the absence of children prior to 1 December 2020, $1,000,000 no later than 1 January 2021.

………………………………….
Landlord

……………………………………
Tenant

As an aside, as a site extolling the virtues of plain English in agreements, I would have thought you could have put some effort into providing plain English terms of use.

Finally, any stats on the territory breakdown between the 60k documents that have been uploaded? Would be fascinated to see this!
Not everyone has phones.
Author came very close to demonstrating some other cool Torque feature such as coupling the GPS and car position data to the mass of the car (which you manually enter) and torque outputs a fairly accurate measure of instant or peak measured horsepower. Oh look my ancient '97 Saturn really does accelerate at 120 horsepower as calculated based off 2nd derivative of position and input mass. And, likewise, by continuous monitor of the stats and doing some very simple timing, torque can output 0-60, 0-100, quarter mile, etc, you hit reset, it waits until the throttle position sensor is slammed or it sees over 0 mph then times until it sees 60 or 100 or whatever. I think it can do braking distance the same way although its been awhile since I tried.

Its interesting to watch the other readouts like coolant temperature. How long does it REALLY take a car to warm up in the winter vs the summer and stuff like that.

I believe I have the same no-name adapter the author has, and it works well. One common discussion topic for torque users is finding a BT adapter that auto powers off when the car shuts off, so you can leave the device plugged in all the time if you want without killing the car battery.

And a final additional commentary is the community is always discussing / trading map files. So on my wife's prius if you download the special prius map file you can do deeper diagnosis and see the voltage across battery #11 or whatever which is moderately interesting, but without the map file it doesn't know how to map the additional telemetry packets into individual cell voltages or whatever. Google will help. Not all cars have enhanced mapping data of course.

Precisely. I wish education was focused on overcoming these two things.

Also, anybody thinks that being smart is mostly the result of removing complexity from your brain ? There's nothing 'more' for you to do or have, but to let the idea sink and reorganize your mind with a simpler thus larger concept.
Good point - I clicked because it sounded a bit like wow...
I think the problem with a lot of User-Interfaces for Git (whether GUI or TUI) is that they rename or 'hide' the Git terminology from users. You still need to know Git to operate the UI, but you often have to learn how Git concepts and terminology map to the UI's terminology.

Here are the commands I use with Git, they're not that different:

- git co branchNameHere

- pull

- git st

- git add -all

- git commit -m "Message here"

- git push

I am not sure where Gitless would save me time based on what I'm seeing, it looks like a simplification of Git. What might save me time would be more features for managing and applying stashes from the command-line, or making it easier to check the changes I've made (git diff).

Here is my all-time favorite Git command, and I've created an alias called 'showtree' for it, but it helps me to understand where different branches are:

git log --all --graph --decorate --oneline --simplify-by-decoration

Given that's black-letter illegal, I think that article isn't being quite accurate.

You can have and create a document-deletion policy, no problem. But -- and I've had this drilled into me at multiple employers, because it's really important -- once you are told by legal that an investigation is under way, you don't delete them, no matter what, until legal tells you otherwise. You take active steps to preserve them if need be.

Cuomo's optics suck, but unless you think he's criminally insane, he wouldn't delete emails while investigators wanted emails preserved. There's some part of the story we haven't heard.
Further, years ago I designed a system that is a proxy based direct democracy system. We called it dynamic democracy. Someone in the bay actually quit his job and began organizing an ngo around it after I had a conversation with him. Basically, you have the right to vote on everything, but you can also proxy your vote to someone else on any issue, category of issues, etc. You can always override a proxied vote, but you can find someone you trust, who is an expert, and let them vote for you. This allows for you to save time, but some people who really wanted to put time and effort in would get more votes proxied to them. Of course, if they proxy their vote to someone else, it would influence all the votes tied to them. You could see how voting blocs would emerge organically.
That's not true. Google has hosed large enterprise customers many times by rolling out new features or changes to existing products with zero warning, and they have adopted a phased deployment process and a formal trusted tester program to help mitigate it. Contacts is a waaaaaaay bigger deal for businesses than individuals, and there are tons of edge cases Google has to deal with re: Apps customers.
In that case it's excellent story telling and nothing more. We're an engineering discipline and use case studies in engineering disciplines are measured by different standards, humility and hubris aside. You can bleed and dream about your architecture all you want but as a community we should be more analytical than that and not fall into the all the usual mental traps just because we bled for some engineering decisions. Teasing apart confounding variables and showing pros and cons of the various approaches and adding a bit more detail about the actual libraries would have made this a much better post. If he had provided all those details then some of us could have double checked the numbers with some benchmarks and learned from it but that opportunity was squandered.

Once again, I'm not aggressive but I am critical. nexneo has since addressed all the issues people have brought up and if he'd done that initially then I would have been much less critical.

Direct democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
> They existed(!) in ancient greece, because people didn't have time to inform themselves, right ?

Greece (Athens) provided the model for direct democracy. The model for indirect, representative democracy is less exclusive, but the main ancient model is the Roman Republic.

> We solved this with newspapers, 100 years ago.

Newspapers are much older than 100 years old, and they don't solve the problem of lack of time. Arguably, they increase the information assymetry between the ruling class and the ruled class, since it is generally the former that controls the papers and selects what goes in them -- and what does not. This is somewhat offset when different factions of the ruling class disagree on what to present, in that information from both factions is likely to be presented (often in different outlets), but that increases rather than reduces the time and skill of the population needed to ferret out the correct information.

> But, it would be too much paperwork to get the votes from millions of people. It wasn't scalable. - We solved that with smartphones, 5 years ago.

We get votes from millions of people all the time. We solved this with distributed ballot counting and using basic arithmetic to aggregate the results. For the balloting methods we commonly use in the United States, ballot counting is trivially parallelizable and, therefore, easily scalable. Again, this was solved more than 100 years ago.

> I would like to have votes like the one in switzerland, but with smartphones.

We have referenda in the United States at the state level. We don't at the federal level for social (Constitutional) rather than technical reasons. What is the point of adding smartphones into the mix, except to create additional economic stratification?

A lot of things can be put in place to head off issues in the future.

1) Ensure you're in compliance with local labor laws in your area and that required signage is displayed.

2)Leave policies, including maternity/paternity, even if you don't have any female employees and no one is thinking about having kids yet. Jury duty, bereavement, etc

3) Equipment purchases by staff

4)Work from home policy

It's a lot easier to put this stuff together when it's not heat of the moment and based on favoritism. If these things are put in place it will also show incoming people that these are items someone has thought about and you aren't just winging it.

It'd be nice to see, for some of the most common version control tasks:

1. The common version control task (e.g. make a new branch and switch to it)

2. How it's accomplished with Git (e.g. git checkout -b my_new_branch)

3. How it's accomplished (ostensibly more easily) with Gitless (e.g. gl branch my_new_branch)
Most people don't care enough to deeply understand complex policy issues, and shouldn't have to. Reading re-tweeted newspaper headlines isn't sufficient to make long term decisions that will affect millions of people. That's why we hire professionals that we trust to decide for us.

The problems with remote voting are authentication and coercion. How would we know that it's really you casting your vote, and that someone isn't physically forcing you to vote in a certain way?

> Yes it is the spawn of the devil and all marketeers should kill themselves, but you have mouths to feed, morals go out the window.

I understand the sentiment, but really -- is it impossible to market something without being immoral? I think it is. Lots of startups have provided great products that help people get their work done or make their lives easier. Marketing can just be the process of letting those people know that the product exists, and why it's useful, right? Not all marketing involves brainwashing kids into buying fast food, etc.

From the article:

The review page isn’t a landing page. It isn’t linked directly from any of any of my Google ads. To get to it the user has to:
1. click on the ad
2. click on ‘customers’ in the navigation bar
3. select ‘review’
4. click on the Amazon.com hyperlink (there is no automatic redirect)

Also I am only linking to that page so they can read independent reviews of my product. I don’t [want] them to buy it from Amazon!
Why do you think General Petraeus just pleaded guilty in court? because of "rules" or "laws"? did Hillary Clinton send and store classified material with her non-government email account? will the law apply to her the way it has been applied to Petraeus?
Yes and no.

Consider that an engine are all the resources that go into cutting down trees, gathering materials, making pigments, etc. that all go into the resources of painting a masterpiece on an easel. You could certainly do all those things, but you don't need to if you want to create a new masterpiece.
The thing is, there are definitely different levels of persistence required and that's obvious to most people who struggle. When I was school, I almost never studied, and even skipped class with some regularity. Still got good grades. It just wasn't hard. It didn't take persistence.

Fast forward. Now my wife is in school and she studies like crazy hours every day and still doesn't absorb the material well. It takes her tremendous persistence and she is frustrated by people in her class who, like me, could just roll in having glanced over the material and do well.

That said, I agree with the meat of the article. I used to say "I'm not smart enough" to do things like work at "Big Software Corp" or invent novel algorithms, etc. Now I'm more honest and I'll admit "I'm too lazy" to do those things.

Are naked domains generally considered "something you shouldn't do" these days?
Yes, I'm right there with you, and "pretty well" is purposefully vague. Listening to the news and often reading here, it's very easy to forget that 2015 is pretty close to the historical maximum of how things are going for humans worldwide, and far more so for humans living in the US. That's no reason to not advocate for improving the many many things that can be improved, but I find the widespread sense of deep foreboding completely maddening, and more useful for fostering division than improvement.

To continue with your specific example, people I talk to seem largely unaware that the economy of the US has pretty much recovered from the crash. A lot of times this unawareness manifests in the thought that everything we've done since then and are still doing has been utterly and catastrophically wrong and we need to scrap it entirely and figure something else out. I don't think that's very useful. The other perspective is to say, that's great that the high level economic indicators have improved, but shouldn't we be seeing wage growth along with it? How can we tweak the system to see the gains spread more equitably? That is, it's not totally wrong, but it's not totally right either. What can we do to get closer to "totally right"? That's the sort of rhetoric I'd prefer to hear.

This is irrelevant to the changes from the PR. Manual DOM updates are not managed by HTMLBars anyway, regardless of the rendering algorithm.

That said, I think that binding classes (like `class={{foo}}`) and updating it through HTMLBars is a safer way to do it, comparing to direct DOM manipulation.

One thing you can do without connecting is sniff -n- track. Regardless if you connect, you can sniff things like tire pressure monitor transmitters or bluetooth addresses.

At least officially there is no publicly known database of license plate pix and sniffed MAC addresses. Obviously being blindingly obvious idea, there probably is a secret one. So you only need enough optical data gathering to match MACs to plates with excellent lines of sight and OCR and so forth, then you can get away with deploying simple RF sniffers all over the place that don't need LOS and can be much cheaper.

Note that you can track cops this way, not just victims ^H^H err consumers I mean. And obviously the "smarter" the car the easier this tracking works, you're not going to track a restored 1972 Gran Torino off its bluetooth.
I think one of the ideas of the article is kids doing their experiments as they want.
