In case you're not aware, MS Excel already does this.

That's an incredible link, thanks for that.

That someone would be skiing, whatever, 100 miles per hour and might then die because of a falling electronic lawnmower really highlights seen vs unseen risks.

What's the failure mode for quadcopters, can these land safely with loss of one motor? Definition of "safely" would ideally consider human casualties.

If you're bummed about Broccoli Tree, you might want to make some quality time to spend with your favorite (extant) tree.

Nothing lasts forever, folks. It's all going to be over before you know it.

Might also check the page rank of the domain. If it was used previously you might be surprised how loathe search engines are to direct requests to you.

Honestly 25-50% of it is HN links, depending on the day. Tech blogs, nytimes, washpo, atlantic, new yorker. I detest reading on public transit so having the random one-off blog post read to be is a big help.

Instapaper reads me long-form articles on my commute (iOS).

I heard about audm on some podcast, I forget where. I checked it out, and decided it wasn't worth $8 a month to have a human read to me, instead of a robot, a small subset of the content I regularly consume.

Robot-for-free over human-for-pay seems like an apt analogy for our time.

At any rate, I like trials, and if your service is truly great and had the value-add of curating excellent articles from sources I wouldn't normally find, that might put me over the edge. Then again, I cancelled my Audible subscription too.

If you're successful, Amazon surely will buy you.

Should also be stated that a significant amount of energy is lost in carrying electricity over distances (over power lines and while at rest in batteries), which is not the case for H2.

It's easy to imagine changes being made by folks who don't truly understand what's going on, being made on top of changes that were made by folks who didn't truly understand what's going on.

I love Bach and am also not understanding what this is doing here.

> well managed dynamic dns system

oxymoron?

I had a great manager a little while back who said they had an expression in Spain:

> "The person who washes the dishes is the one who breaks them."

Not, like, all the time. But sometimes. If you don't have one of these under your belt, you might ask yourself if you're moving too slow.

If that didn't help, he would also point out:

> "This is not a hospital."

Whatever the crisis, and there were some good ones, we weren't going to save anyone's life by running around.

Sure, data loss sucks, but nobody died today because of this.

I really appreciate the raw timeline. I feel your pain. Get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day.

I remember reading this in the Sunday Magazine when it was first published. It has really stood up to the test of time.

"working for" as in aligning their cause, but not necessarily "working for" as in being paid by.

There's no indication that Clinton gave them money, is there?

No, I think it's good. Wikipedia, no, of course. :)

But factcheck.org, for sure.

Thanks! It's still a stretch to say that "Clinton paid trolls" since PACs (hybrid-PACs?) offer a layer of indirection.

I really feel like it's harder to know what to believe and who to trust than I remember it ever being.

Are there any good resources about how to vet truth in whitewash propaganda situations?

I think it's really hard right now to know exactly what information to trust.

Well of course. Nobody likes asymmetrical warfare.

RT or BBC publishing videos is one thing, but saturating youtube comments and state sponsored "viral" twitter content is quite another. To me the difference is in gaming the secondary signals of legitimacy.

Can you cite something to show that it is well known? I do not know this.

This report was commissioned with bipartisan support from congress. So, is it a "bipartisan hit job"?

Do you doubt that the conclusions are different in the Classified versions of the document?

"ProKremlin bloggers had prepared a Twitter campaign, #DemocracyRIP, on election night in anticipation of Secretary Clinton’s victory,judging from their social media activity."

"We assess Moscow will apply lessons learned from its Putin-ordered campaign aimed at the US presidential election to future influence efforts worldwide, including against US allies and their election processes."

Right, traffic density increased without a corresponding increase in throughput.

Yep, the bias is that all of the scouts came from households that decided to enroll their kid/s in the scouts. This is not a joke, and there is a difference in value systems and other factors that cut across cliché dimensions like socio-economic status.

> you will face the wrath of social media

Bring it on.

Why are people more interested in what they thought it was than what it is?

> With a monolithic repo done right.

Yes, that's the contract that you need to have with other teams. And it's the contract that is automatically enforced with microservices.
