Words matter and so do PsyOps and confirmation bias. Companies are savvy at marketing so they should tailor their apologies to trigger good will confirmation bias in their customers. Actually, according to pre-suasion, they should stage false flag events so help the public pick the right confirmation bias the second time.
Does anyone really believe in 'lone typists' when we live in a world where #Vault7 is likely on #S3?
Personally, I think we should all grow up and doubt all news accounts and company PR from any source, until cui bono and Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) in the Critical Thinking process they use in the IC and LE communities has been thoroughly engaged. Especially if the company has a contract for #SpookCloud.
I agree testing and automation are good. I think they need to go beyond this to formal verification, for something on this scale and reliability. NASA doesn't make these sorts of mistakes.
By the way - this is not just Amazon's problem now. We know the internet has a single point of failure. So does a lot of IoT.
as long as you are going to experiment, why not use a smart contract to implement your license? If someone meets your reserve price, it goes open source earlier. You can have a salvage value close 3 years in the future if the terms of the Code Tontine are not met.
Isn't that what rot13 is for? A think a special compiler switch, along the lines of -Drot13, would work just fine for people who have special needs like that.
That's true now but not in all historical periods. In the original system, m. was an abbreviation for mille, and not a composable component of the numeral at all. In effect, it served as a comma does in English text today, to separate the thousands from the units -- both of which were encoded using the composable letter system we are now familiar with.
Later, of course, people assimilated the operation of the M to the other letters, esp. on the dates of printed books. However, if we are discussing manuscript practice in the 15th century, the medieval approach and not the modern approach to Roman numerals would likely be in play...
In any event, using mm. to represent mille mille (a thousand thousand, a million in modern parlance) would create no cognitive dissonance as it does today.
every social community I've seen eventually has to give up the downvote as a tool and just have upvotes or likes, or else they peak when the downvoting gets out of hand. I think HNN passed that point about 1-2 years ago. I see more and more worthwhile comments greyed out and I'm sure good contributers who advocate unpopular languages or discount the latest hotness are now driven away.
That's good to hear and I see why those would be popular. I'm a bit surprised that a kanban board is so important.
I'll put in my vote for replacing Wekan with Jupyter -- it's more strategic to win mindshare outside the closed circle of developers. The average unsophisticated user who just wants apps, your target market, doesn't want their very own kanban board. A photo album yes. I speculate your early adopters are predominantly developers themsleves and that's why it's popular. It does fit my comment about private data being an important use case for you, of course.
Sharing homework assignments or spreadsheets of data would be more strategic for you, imho. It could help you break into the 'educational shared docs' submarket -- every school I know uses google docs right now for convenience. And don't forget homeschoolers, and teachers setting up courseware sites. I would think the educational market would be key for you to gain mindshare and grow beyond the community of early-adopter developers.
Anyway, best of luck. This is some really good work you are doing.
Almost certainly -- and therein lies a problem for you. There is an ambiguity between who owns the tab -- you or Jupyter app? The user of course will think of you and the app as the same thing. If you let Jupyter throw up a message saying 'you're disconnected' the user will infer that they are disconnected from you.
It's not clear the user is wrong btw -- why does a mis-behaving, buggy app, throw me into offline mode? Is it just Jupyter that is offline, or the whole of sandstorm? The message says the tab is. And I can still see components of sandstorm. Of course, I bet if switch to another app it will heal itself -- or will it? Most users won't think of that (or a refresh, or a CTRL+F5, or looking at the debug console for a hint etc.)
So my challenge to you is to explain how the offline/online model works, in a way the user can understand. I suppose big organizations like Google just solve this problem by not hosting buggy apps in the first place. :) :)
It is probably worth your while, from an adoption standpoint, to 'take ownership' of a few key apps and treat their bugs as your bugs -- I would be showing this to coworkers tomorrow if this had worked better, and it probably isn't your fault. They are keen on Jupyter and this is the best delivery platform I've seen for that app. Sharing jupyter notebooks in an enterprise setting could be your killer app -- they contain private data, and a public cloud won't work in many use cases, but most enterprises won't have enough of a constituency of scientists and engineers and statisticians to want to host a notebook server with 'front line' support. We're in the carpet cluster days here...
I saw this last night and signed up for oasis on my chromebook. I created a Jupyter notebook and entered an expression in it. Nice. Then I closed the lid to my chromebook for the evening.
Next morning I opened up the lid, and it helpfully told me it wasn't connected. I waited a bit longer and updated the expression. The cell text updated but after pressing 'play' the result value did not update, leaving my screen in an inconsistent, incorrect state (wrong value for displayed input to function). There was a little sign telling me I wasn't connected.
I had signed in originally with gmail. People are going to expect a similar interaction model to google docs. There was no obvious way to get back online, short of killing the tab... and getting back how? Remember a link? A bookmark?
This doesn't work yet -- not for most people.
Beautiful, beautiful job. Get the rest of the way there please...
The companies involved have specified a protocol for communicating your chosen password to them. Namely, the well known "spelling protocol" whereby you repeat your choice, letter by letter, to the other party. They have gone to some pains to enforce that protocol.
The article advocates breaking the bank's protocol for your own convenience because you supposedly know more than the other party. In general, in life, this is bad advice.
Please do not ask people to do things against the will of the other contracting party for their own convenience, without considering the risks of doing so.
Perhaps the companies involved have been told by their lawyers that choosing a password is a legal action, like an electronic signature, that must be performed by a human, letter by letter, to have certain legal ramifications.
It is only stupidity if you assume the only purpose of a password (or a physical key) is security, and not also authorized entry. It may still be a poor engineering solution to the requirement (because engineers were told the solution, to asked to meet the requirement). But it is wrong to assume there is no reason for the requirement.
You can't paste your legally binding electronic signature either, I'll warrant. I've had to type out my name plenty of times, in digital contracts, even though my browser is quite capable of auto-filling.
