Objectively the photograph is light blue and brown. It's not even a proper optical illusion, it's just what your assumptions are about lighting and exposure, if you're trying to determine the colors of the actual object from a bad photo.
It looks like a white and gold coloured dress, which was accidentally washed with a blue sock :)
There are a lot of vulnerabilities which don't affect them though -- either because the vulnerabilities are in specific features which EC2 doesn't use, or because Amazon is very conservative about which versions of Xen it uses and most vulnerabilities are in relatively new code.

I certainly hope Amazon will respond to these publicly, but I won't be very surprised if the response is "doesn't affect us".
These articles always exaggerate the disruptive potential of technology, the pace of change and the consequences, particularly ignoring the concept of wealth creation (the reference to Piketty was telling).

For example: I've been to China and Japan countless times in the last decade. On my last trip to both, I finally had Google Translate on my phone. The difference it made in communication - particularly in Japan - was phenomenal. Both ways - both in scanning local characters with the camera and getting an instant translation (you lose the fun of the restaurant roulette, but you no longer end up with mapo tofu by accident), and in communicating with the other side by typing your English meaning and showing the translation. I had a 20 minute conversation near Chengdu with our hotel manager, she would type her side into Translate, wait for the slow internet to send it over, we'd read, reply... we both wrote each other a long thank you letter before leaving!

What is relevant about this example: the job of "translator for tourist" has been created, not automated. Before I had Translate, I made do with sign language and the few words hastily scribbled or learnt before a trip. I didn't hire a local to walk me around and talk to everybody. Conversely, I take the MRT in Singapore because it's 80 cents a trip. If an automated taxi comes along for $2, I might take it, but doing the same trip for $10 is not something I'm interested in. This is added productivity for me, just as the flying shuttle enormously increased the quality of life of hundreds of thousands of housewives in the 18th century, instead of creating the "mass domestic unrest from idleness" allegedly feared by the ruling class.

Another point missing from the conversation is manager laziness. In my experience as a DBA/data person, most companies do not care about automating away their reporting function (amongst other things). I've seen people doing "manual joins" (yes, that's a manual lookup then copy paste each value one by one) as late as last year, in both tiny "modern" tech startups and enormous corporations with several hundred thousand employees; for the latter, 50MB files were "big data". Today, you can run a DWH for a fairly large business with an employee working part time, provided he knows what he's doing - with AWS and modern tools like Postgres, it's incredibly easy to be high level - but few companies do it. Maybe it's today's relatively permissive high capital low opportunity environment, which tolerates very low IRR.
I really don't get how people can see the dress on the picture as blue and black.

The average color of the gold/black part is #6e5d4d, which is brown/gold. The average color of the white/blue part is #9298b0.

I guess I understand what you mean. I can see the brown when it's pulled off to the side with a hex code, but in the context of the picture, I would always answer that the (brown) part of the dress is "black."

Making the image smaller/cropped/etc doesn't really change that, for whatever reason. Maybe my brain is remembering the context.

I might be wrong here, but the two major problems with browser crypto were the fact that you had to send the crypto libraries to the browser in the first place, and that then you didn't really have access to a proper random number generator.

Those two issues pretty much disappear with the use of a built in api from the browser. I guess now you've just got to trust the browser, but the browser is never going to be as secure as doing things on your own server.

My wife sees white/gold, I see black/blue on the same exact screen. Observations:

I did not know there was a contraveesy when first shown the image. She did. I am 100% sure I am seeing the correct image (I am since color dropper verified). She is trying to figure it out. Can this be the power of suggestion since the initial person she saw it from said gold/white?

I tried zooming in on parts of the image to show her that it was indeed black/blue. She saw the blue at high zoom but as soon as any color variation to the blue or a little of the black started to show, she said it flipped back to gold/white for her. When zoomed in on the black she cannot see it as black, and I start seeing a gold tiny to it.

She saw the decomposed color swatches and acknowledged them as black/blue.

When looking at pictures in better lighting of the supposed same dress, she sees it as black/blue.

Hypothesies: (1) this is the case of the power of suggestion. Once you are told it is a certain color you cannot unsee it.

(2) this has to do with poor quality of the image. Is the image on the cusp of some uncanny valley where most people's brains try to fill in the missing information? I say most because apparently around 70% of people see it as gold/white (Sploid poll).

(3) Maybe this has to do with some type of screen refresh rate? Would have been a lot more likely with CRT screens, but don't know if there is some tech on LCD's that can have this effect.

Someone please explain this. I am losing sleep here.

React requirement today is that there can only be one version loaded at the same time, otherwise everything breaks. If you update React in Atom core, you run the risk of breaking all the plugins that were written for a different version of React.

Is this still an issue when you override `ID_ATTRIBUTE_NAME`?

require('react/lib/DOMProperty').ID_ATTRIBUTE_NAME = 'data-myproductid';

I am wondering if React is usable for writing a JS Widget, for example Disqus.
A copyright license is the tool used by authors to tell the world how they want their code to be used. If someone publicly state that they like vanilla ice cream, but personally don't, then their public statement is silly.

If someone do not believe in using copyright law and dislike those who do, they should act accordingly and not deal with proprietary companies at all. Those are the majority users of copyright law in the software industry, as the number of GPL law suits vs proprietary ones is several order smaller.
I don't know much about the topic, but what would be a reason to choose protobuff over cap'nproto now days?
Mmm....seems a bit dubious. My dog likes me to hide his rubber ball so he can go look for it, and he's so good at remembering places I've hidden it before that finding new places to make him really look for it is a problem (he's not very scent-motivated). Now of course he could be relying on associative memory because I praise him when he does a good 'find' but their test here looks overly reductionist to me. For sure, if I'm doing something else for a while and then ask him where his ball is, he may well have forgotten where he left it and looks in random places. So his memory is not that great; on the other hand, when I see that he has multiple balls (which he enjoys hoarding) in one spot I'll call him to bring one over, then wait a bit before telling him to go get another one, in which case he knows exactly where to go. I'll try timing the interval to see how long before he forgets his previous position.

The other thing that occurs to me is some dogs' habit of burying bones and so on that they may want to store for later. Sure, they are using their sense of smell there, which is many times better than ours, but given that dogs don't have mediocre vision to start with (by comparison to ours), I wonder again about the quality of the experimental design. If you asked people to remember something using one of their inferior senses - say, a series of fabric textures that are only touched rather than seen - I suspect they would turn in mediocre results. It seems to me that the stimuli used in the experiment were too abstract to be sufficiently engaging to the animals, for the same reason that we don't have a very extensive tactile vocabulary, notwithstanding the importance of touch as a sense.
I don't think the over evaluation part of the Dunning-Krueger effect has much to do with evolution. Basically it is a fundamental physical limitation: if you've never even seen an obstacle you can't say whether you could jump over it or not. After that it's just the natural optimism that's required by all species on earth to do anything non-trivial, nothing special.
The under evaluation part is more interesting though, why not just keep going?

You still have to pay taxes, at least property and payroll taxes, and comply with laws; and the government can still print money, tax people and corporations, employ people, give/lend money to institutions at low rates, and pass laws and regulations/obligations which cost labor to fulfill. Likewise, people and organizations owe rents to each other, have covenants they need to fulfill. Your nuclear power plant will never be a money black hole in the way that you mean.

Without Stalin's political system we were not able to build our nuclear and fusion shield (not only the bomb itself, but rockets, plains and other delivery systems), antimissile systems and so on. The goal of that defence project demanded hyper concentration of human resources, and Stalin did this.

And if he didn't who can grant for shure that USA would not use their nukes against our country (or, may be some other country, which was in conflict with USA) as they did against Japan? The most people thanked Stalin for that safety he gave our nation, the minority had suffered.

Yes, there was oversacrifices and exaggerations, and that was cruel regime and highly militarized. But it was necessary to protect ourselves from the unfriendly West (the West openly hated communism since the beggining, even when it was only internal Russian affair). And in the end, it was Churchill, who declared Сold War, not Stalin.

And Putin has nothing in common with Stalin. You know, our elders say about our current political situation: if we would have Stalin nowadays the life would be far far better. Putin is not so strong, and smart, and firm and slefless, as Stalin was. For instance Putin have ended Russian Academy of Sciences So... You may not be afraid, we are not able to rebuild Union here in any sense.

Your argument seems to stem from immutability is easier to reason, therefore you are willing to give up performance to accommodate it.

You stated that in some cases it doesn't matter if you use 1% or 100% of processing time in the current frame which I would argue is risky.

The more complex your application the more expensive handling wholesale changes becomes, unless you have something like react managing change detection you are going to suffer. From my point of view this is the interesting part of react, you hand off the task of change detection to generic, tested code. However it's still going to be slower than the alternative for fine grain changes.

It's also worth noting that on larger applications where you modularise common components, you typically push complexity down the chain. Take a data grid for example, do you process the data for every cell up front, or do you do it only when the cell is rendered. If it's the latter mutability of that data structure is really important, otherwise one little change is going to cost you far too much.
But that means the technology is being chosen to suit the developer, and not the end-user.
Restaurants can't prioritize white customers over black customers. They can't provide more flavorful, healthier food for white customers only, while giving rotten, old, bad food to black customers while charging the same price.

ISP's can however charge a higher price for faster speeds, same as a restaurant can charge a higher price for more flavorful and healthier food.

competition solve problems when every actor acts rational, and everyone competes fairly with the same moral and ethical values. As soon one of those two assumptions are wrong, competition stops to solve problems in the market.

of the link is, for me a complete turnoff. I haven't even seen what the Hell you're offering in return.

Why would I use it? If Daybook is for writers sell it that way. If it's more social media then pitch it that way. If it's a journal then pitch that. If it's all these things then come up with some sensible stories illustrating why a social media mavens would want an intimate journal.

Big suggestion. Make the writing/journaling tool standalone and make the product social media tooling and hosting. This better addresses the issue of what happens if Daybook becomes abandonware. Let me run the basis without shooting my intimate thoughts onto your server...unless I see a benefit from it.

Giving away the tool and monetizing the platform means the tool has to be good for writing and journaling But if it isn't a pure SaaS is dead anyway.

Good luck.

The true speed of using an immutable library for your data in React comes from shouldComponentUpdate. Using immutable structures is really fast as the most deepest comparisons are always O(1) because all you're doing is comparing memory addresses, thus a component can very cheaply work out whether the data given to them has changed, and as little as possible can be recalculated.

Blink - Intent to deprecate: Insecure usage of powerful features
Historically, that's been an issue. But in fact, the FCC has been testing this, and most users' actual speeds are barely any lower than advertised (and sometimes even higher) during peak periods. From their 2014 report [1]:

"On average, during peak periods DSL-based services delivered download speeds that were 91 percent of advertised speeds, cable-based services delivered 102 percent of advertised speeds, fiber-to-the-home services delivered 113 percent of advertised speeds, and satellite delivered 138 percent of advertised speeds."

And, a majority of wired connections are advertised as "6Mbps or higher" [2] – so even if throughput at peak times was only 66% (while in fact it averages 90%+), it'd be still be plenty for HD video from Netflix, iTunes, and Amazon.

The sense of distress here is based a lot on folklore and outlier complaints. Most people are essentially getting the full headline speeds, even during peak times, and have 2+ choices for service sufficient for all but the most bleeding-edge applications.
