They have already. That cat is long, long out of the bag. [0]

I'm starting to think it makes more sense to make sure everyone has my data to make sore no one has a competitive advantage because of it. No, seriously though, I don't literally want to do that, but I'm starting to think in terms of that and what can we do about it. I don't think it's avoidable. I don't know how you would manage such a thing. But I think the only thing keeping us anywhere near safe is the basics of competition between these various companies. If one of them can succeed at creating their dream of a walled garden social network from which user activity never escapes, I think we will be far worse off.

Most people don't care about privacy, they only care about getting free stuff. As long as there are almost no consequences to the lack of privacy--or consequences that our culture can easily turn around and use to shame the victim [1]--then nothing is going to change.

The FOSS community isn't helping any. They turn their noses up at such prosaic projects as social media. How difficult would it be to make a decentralized twitter clone? It's apparently impossible, since it has been discussed numerous times and still hasn't happened yet. And how would it be different from RSS? Look where that went.

I think the only hope we have is the complete implosion of advertising income as a business model on the internet. It is heading there, but the response has been to pour fuel on the fire. I think we're going to have to see some companies going bankrupt before we'll see major change. Otherwise, they'll just click-fraud leech money out of the system in a state of equilibrium.

[0] Also, between my prior work in the defense industry and my wife's current work, the OPM hack has destroyed any semblance of privacy for my data.

[1] RE: people losing jobs over things they've posted on Facebook. Millenials didn't invent being a jackass. They're just the first generation to have it broadcast live for their teachers, parents, and bosses to see.
Interesting perspective. I've been sort of on the other side of the fence and excited about new features. With that said, I do love the simplicity of C and how the features of the language itself are very minimal and learning all of the language is fairly simple task.

Do you think maybe the push for the extra functionality is an effort to standardize the millions of JS libraries out there that do this "high-level" functionality already, rather than leaving it up to the user for interpretation?
I doubt this is true. I know that historically, Apple users were limited to Apple hardware by the nature of the architecture. However, Apple switched to using the same hardware as the rest of the PC world.

Another option would be to make a Hackintosh, actually; if you have a sufficiently powerful spare machine; this would also need the OS software, so virtualizing is probably just as easy.

It's not entirely manufactured.

Women have lower skin temperatures, and higher core temperatures. So in lab conditions they feel the cold more.

Tracking down a semi-academic article, it noted that in non-lab conditions, people are well aware of their heat tolerance, and generally wear warm clothes if they're going to be cold.

Many designers know that you do not design for the average, but for the edges. The middle figures itself out. So how do we accommodate 200lb guys who weight lifted this morning and 100lb girls who havent exercised in a while? Maybe some kind of climate zones? It usually a lot easier to get warmer (clothes) than to get cooler (less clothes isnt usually appropriate) .
GPUs aren't nearly as effective as they used to be, given all the ASIC miners. And AWS GPU instances don't have the right GPU, either; there's a very specific line of AMD GPUs that can accelerate the blockchain hashing algorithm, and AWS uses nVidia.

Soylent just markets a standard weight gainer as a total food replacement. Not sure why this is "freakin' amazing."
What I find interesting is that PostgreSQL is slowly gaining features like that make it a good fit for many use cases of NoSQL datastores. With the BDR extension, it might even be possible to use PostgreSQL to implement an eventually consistent multi-master document store. Of course, none of this comes "out of the box", but it's interesting to see the two technologies becoming more like each other.
Perhaps it is an easy way to detect copies of the article...
People's willingness to give their information depends on how much they trust the company. Mint is owned by Intuit which is the same company most all of us trust providing all our financial data to for tax purposes each year.

For customers to trust your company you will have to have a lot of financial backing and support of big names in the industry. And when Mint first launched people were a little less concerned about giving up data. Now a days people are much more aware of the implications so you would be fighting an uphill battle.

Agree, it should be easier. After registering, think it's possible to sign-in to most of the adsk systems via either the email/passwd or adsk-id/passwd combination.
The minority status thing is a problem from what I can tell among LGBT developers for sure (if you're looking for work outside of San Francisco or New York). I can't seem to understand why one's ethnicity or gender identity and/or sexual orientation should ever be an impediment to doing one's job, but for some reason certain people seem to fear the Other.

To encourage adoption and enforce DNT ad-blockers like AdBlock could agree to relax ad blocking by default on sites which genuinely honor DNT. This way sites have an incentive to do the right thing.

Of course for tracker-blocker add ons nothing should change since a DNT respecting site shouldn't fall foul of a tracker block.

Any reason you want Soylent? There are plenty of liquid feeds on sale in EU. Ask a pharmacist.
Unfortunately, due to net neutrality laws, this can not be connected to the Internet. If these laws did not exist, "super networks" such as this could be defined in software and spun up at a moment's notice like some aws boxes. I'm guessing that's why the price tag here seems so low. All the hardware is already installed and ready to go, this project is just to set up a network that uses it to its full capacity.
Great point about reading the file. I feel paranoid when using a text editor like sublime now just arrow key-ing or scrolling around a file since hitting practically any key will insert or delete a character!
What is it with cooking that makes people under-appreciate the value of a good professional? It sounds like those clients who think programming is just pressing a few buttons.
Wow, the American attitude is strong with you ;). Looking forward to see what the SN-ratio of all these strong statements is!

edit: As I am beeing downvoted:

"you'll use many of these in your home or neighborhood within the next 12 months" -> I doubt I have used "many" yc-products from the total last batch in the past 12 months.

"Over the next year, you’ll see us introduce several features that make YC the best place in the world for people who want to make something new. Over the next decade, you’ll see some of these entrepreneurs create companies at YC that rival Airbnb’s social (and financial) impact." -> That's very nice, but it has nothing substantial to back it up!

All I want to say is: yc does not need to sell hot air.
A few thoughts:

I was all aboard the ES6 hype train before I realized that ES6 was one of many stops. Yes, the ES6 standard may be double the size of ES5 but most of the features were also necessary.

ES7 seems like it will be a sizable change as well, and as the author points out, JS seems to be destined to design by committee. The other aspect of this, which the author points at but never says (JS is C++ and they prefer minimalist languages), is JS is stuck with backwards compatibility issues. ES6 adds proper scoping with let but can't completely remove var due to lots of old code. How do you handle that?

You can't be too upset about asm.js becoming irrelevant because it was a rough draft of an idea and WebAssembly is an improvement on that. Better we fix those mistakes now instead of waiting 20 years to build on an already adopted but unsteady foundation (ala JS?). Despite some issues that might bother them (like feeding an AST instead of a CFG), hopefully WebA does its job well and lets us use those minimalist languages already mentioned.

Has this changed recently? The main site seems up to me right now, 24 minutes later...

OT: Are there official or well-known mirrors of all of archive.org, should the original maintainer ever go down?

Even more OT: clicking around the site to see what was still up/down, I discovered the (blindingly obvious in retrospect) fact that there's an API to check the archived status of a URL...neat!

IMO winning this battle will involve changing culture--

changing what is appropriate to wear to work. If I could wear shorts and a muscle top to work, then i'd say just float with the ambient outside (upto 90f) .

But because some of us have to wear suits and ties. Its really hot, plus stress/exercise etc, it could literally be a health risk for some men.

Compare health risk to inconvenience of wearing more clothes and having a personal heater and it seems clear to me.
