That's not true. Their API will now return the t.co URLs in the text section, so if developers don't do anything extra, things will (should, rather, I'm clarifying with them) still work, but t.co URLs will be displayed to users.

Their API will return the original links too with markers, so client code can be updated to display the original URLs. Twitter wants developers to display the original URLs and link to the t.co URLs.

Their rational behind this is flawed. One of the reason they are giving for implementing this is to be able to shut down links if they turn out to be malicious, possibly as a bait and switch. But since the right way to do a shortener is to do a 301 and that's what they say they are doing, they wouldn't have that ability.
It Depends how you measure "extremely serious photographers".
Starting from Nikon d610 you have descent quality on sd-card plus portability in the same time. I understand that you can't put all the ports in the world in the laptop and while CF Cards reader would also be useful for photography I think sd-card reader or even micro-sd-card reader gives a compromise for mobile solution that covers many needs. Lack of this sd-card reader gives additional headache and nothing more useful as I see it.
Sure, I'm not saying that other activities don't have value, I was commenting only on your phrase "just as much." George Martin wrote, "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, and the one who doesn't read, lives just one." Whether that is valuable or not is, as you say, debatable, but it's certainly not possible any other way.
Backspace will no longer be used for navigation by default in Firefox 87:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1041377

That key binding was added for interface compatibility with Internet Explorer, which is less important these days. If you'd like to disable it now, go to about:config and set browser.backspace_action = 2.
Don't forget that ~5% of Apple's revenue is a payment from Google to be default search engine.

I still haven't heard anything about a privacy consent screen regarding the default Google search box.

Can't fix the whole world all at once, but Apple is not uncompromising in their privacy stance by any means.
Funny that the whole thing reads like an ad for Scrimba but when asked what he'd recommend for others Scrimba barely makes an honorary mention.
I agree, and I'd like to see a unified way of connecting to those services. These services are in a way plugins, so I could see it being handled by having a plugin framework that's capable of handling in-app plugins via something like ZeroMQ, as well as external plugins (remote services or from other apps) via something like Matrix.

Essentially, a key part of the idea is to create an Open Source project that is a browser construction kit rather than a browser. Then anyone can choose what components they use. Big brands can release branded sets of components that include proprietary components if they want - but users won't need to use those to have a safe, secure, and rich browsing experience.
Your description "a sort of competition" seems an accurate way to describe it, in my opinion.

They're both huge companies whose largest risk of disruption comes not from the marketplace (they can monitor, acquire and influence challengers), but from regulators. The appearance of competition helps both companies to reduce that risk.
Apple isn't perfect, I'll admit that all day long. But, frankly, the "absurd prices" argument just doesn't hold water to me. I paid almost $3000 for the MacBook Pro I'm typing this on--eight years ago. Meanwhile, everyone I know that has had PC's have gone through at least two replacements during that time. A little over $300/year for a computer is a bargain. I pay three times more for Internet access!
> Well, I don't know in which world you live, but in mine Outlook is alive and kicking, that's where purchase orders are confirmed, meetings with suppliers are organized, business decisions are made

Stuff like that was what I meant. I wouldn't call receipts, calendar invitations and verification emails "communication" (as in person to person). I agree though that email is a prime medium for B2B communication, but within a company you'd usually use another medium (like Slack).
Way easier to hide. If you were brave enough, you could literally read braille under the covers with your eyes closed while your parent had their head stuck through the door to check on you.

I personally use Quickbooks. It's not all that complicated and it's what your CPA will want. If you don't already have a CPA yet, that should be your first step.
I don't think it's even as simple as corporate backing, though that certainly plays a part. It's significantly the arbitrary whims of the population; Whatsapp was not corporate backed, and still captured huge marketshare.
The problem as I've noted elsewhere is the abusers were adversely affecting others. If I could have just ignored them as an annoyance, I'd have been with that. But that's sort of a total side comment. The point was in no situation did Mailinator users ever become customers but they still were a significant resource drain.

As for the conversion rate, it was a positive outcome. I probably should have been clearer that Mailinator users weren't factored into the calculation any more than any other widespread source of spam would have been. Strictly speaking, removing them increased conversion rate because a whole bunch of sign-ups with 0% conversion went away. My point was removing the Mailinator traffic, all other sources continued to convert at nearly the same rate and revenue didn't drop because Mailinator traffic truly wasn't converting anyway.

I'm willing to accept we just had an absolutely terrible business with an absolutely terrible business model and an absolutely terrible product. But if that's the case, why would so many people come from Mailinator and repeatedly use it?
Maybe only more complex in that they cost $ to livestream, but I could sit in front of my Roku and watch multiple live streams of Ferguson protests on UStream.
Thanks for the mention!

Is this an art project? What is the use of this data? Is there a sample we can listen to?
Well, that wouldn't be much different from the pervasive habit of many authors of YouTube videos to stick their own faces in the frame in one or the other ridiculous fashion. This is unsurprising, because it is self-advertisement that is the true goal of such podcasts and videos.
You'd want the firewall configured with default deny, but there's no need to keep the NAT.

My wife has EDS. She isn't on a feeding tube; and we hope she won't ever be on one. Gastroparesis isn't even the worst part of it. As TFA points out, there are a lot of collective symptoms that EDS causes.
Seeing how they call for war, killing people, and overthrowing the government daily if not hourly I can’t imagine why CF continues to provide them services. Truly, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. I mean you probably will on some of the *chans but it’s pretty freaking bad over at TD win.
I agree with you, but would go even further and say you're not born interested, the set of experiences you have are what shape your interest. It's both an important and useful idea to consider that people are born blank slates, and experiences drive us.
I suspect someone is confusing causes and consequences here.

Ignorance prevents people from knowing the question to ask, but that's ultimately a social ill (cf. school abandonment, low-income, only similar acquaintances, etc.) that tends to perpetuate itself.

One can make the case that without the right intellectual stimuli a person can actually become dumber over time, but that predates the Internet.
The real potential trouble makers probably don't last too long. We aren't talking house arrest either. And I'm guessing this might be true for many more countries than China.
SMB seems alive and well? I don't see an "Extinguish" there.

You seem to be conflating "beat in the marketplace" with EEE. Netscape didn't fail because of ActiveX. They failed because web browsers and web servers became free.

Competing office suites struggle not because Microsoft extended some underlying protocol. Like it or not (and I personally don't), Office delivers an incredible amount of business value to its users.

Platform independent dev-tools were, and are, still around. But like the browser, it's tough to make a living selling dev tools when they are generally free.

Microsoft has been a very successful company for many reasons. It's not clear that "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" is one of them.
Now I want to know if there's an ETF that tracks transactions by senators.

The question is if this court considers Uber responsible because the driver is an employee, then how is the driver not an employee for all other purposes? Other courts have maintained the drivers are not employees. And usually, courts stay consistent unless over ruled by superior courts.
Over the years, the STEM professional in me has become increasingly intrigued by the ways in which law progresses because it is so fundamentally different from my preferred method of making sense of the world.

Within that, and with my incredibly limited understanding of how law evolves in the courts...it seems like Thomas says demonstrably incorrect things more frequently than I am comfortable with.
People in the richest nations in the history of humanity are starving, homeless and without access to healthcare.

What does that say about those who have more wealth than they could spend in several lifetimes?
> It would just have to reinforce the right patterns and fuzzy connections that lead to success in writing _credible looking articles_

We're probably at a point where we can manufacture shallow fakes of the current writing style, and I'm sure techniques like this will become prevalent (because convenience), but I feel you're missing the point of what I'm saying. It does need to understand these things. If it doesn't, then what it is is a mechanical reproduction of a current style of writing: that's a completely different category of thing, it's not even close to similar.
Yes, it's still the case that language implementors have to work around the JVM's lack of support for tail call optimization. It's not a big deal for most apps. I leave TCO turned off with Kawa Scheme not because it's a performance problem, but just because it's the default and I don't usually need it. The only code I have compiled with TCO enabled was for maze generation, and I don't think it slowed it down much: http://brlewis.com/amaze.brl

I read somewhere that all Google products are merely a delivery vehicle for AdSense. With that perspective in mind, Google Maps is not designed to advance the state of online mapping, nor does it have any interest in referring folks to another website.

I realize that sounds a little conspiratorial, and for that I am sorry, but I mean it in a "for your consideration" kind of way.
concise and informative, thanks ;).
From what I understand, the last official update was several years ago, so this really is news.
> Very few PCs had CD-ROM drives and multimedia software was nearly non-existent on the PC platform.

Transferring data meant either a stack of floppies, or something like LapLink which used a special cable for the parallel port, or a null-modem cable for the serial port. LapLink could transfer at 115200 baud. And it cost over $100 1990s dollars.

Here's more context about what the password was for.

https://twitter.com/vinodsparrow/status/1338431183588188160

This tweet has a screenshot of an email from Vinoth Kumar (named in the CNN article) to SolarWinds saying:

Hi Team,

I have found a public Github repo which is leaking ftp credential belongs to SolarWinds.

Repo URL: https://github.com/

Downloads Url: http://downloads.solarwinds.com
FTP Url: ftp://solarwinds.upload.akamai.com
Username:
Password:
POC: http://downloads.solarwinds.com/test.txt

I was able to upload a test POC.
Via this any hacker could upload malicious exe and update it with release SolarWinds product.

(The tweet blanks out some things including part of the github URL, the username, and the password.)

My thoughts:

(1) I assume this means when it comes to technical measures to prevent a weak password, SolarWinds would have to rely on Akamai.

(2) The researcher was able to upload to the root directory of downloads.solarwinds.com. As an educated guess, this may have been a shared account and many people knew this password. When many people share an account, they tend to choose passwords that are easy to convey to someone else. If so, the intern probably didn't create the password and was only responsible for leaking it.
Dictators should be called dictators.

Absolute monarchy = dictatorship.

Saudi royals are no different from Kim family dynasty in North Korea. Mohammed bin Salman is a dictator just like Kim Jong-un.
This is a weird attitude I’ve seen where Snow Leopard is worshipped as “the greatest macOS version there ever was.”

Apple’s design philosophy isn’t particularly different from that time. Snow Leopard was something of a feature freeze to make up for deficiencies with Leopard.

Apple was never some pariah of hardware and software flexibility. If you had a PowerPC Mac or older you dealt with all kinds of incompatibilities from different peripherals, floppy disk formats, and physical connectors.

The interoperability of Macs is the best it’s ever been, especially since Apple no longer deals with a <5% market share like the 1990s.
Why can't imperfect people be less judgmental
For the transaction itself: the payment you get incentivizes you to portray it in a positive light, rather than giving your honest opinion.

For society at large: advertising amplifies the speech of the rich, which is inherently antidemocratic.
You are quite a drama queen :). Windows 8 applications can still be programmed in .NET languages. Given that probably 80% of the application is not 'front-end' code, it can be compiled without changes. On the front-end you can still use whatever was used before, since the desktop still exists. And if you want to go all-'Metro': there is a learning curve, but it is not that steep, since Windows 8 applications are also developed using XAML et al.

Disclaimer: as a OS X and Linux user, I don't know much about Windows.

5 > 4. And really they're not all players in everything Microsoft does (Google is closest); FB isn't going to touch a phone again, and doesn't do a desktop OS, etc. Azure/AWS/GCE would be better than today (where we really just have AWS). Android/iOS/WP would be nice. etc.
I've withdrawn from mtgox to a UK account via SEPA many times. It's never taken less than two weeks, and last time (about four months ago), it took nearly five weeks. Communication and transparency about waiting times has always been pretty bad. I'm lucky to have contact info for senior staff, who I can pester for assurances that they are just very backed up rather than in a meltdown situation. Were I an average customer I'd've assumed the worst.
I clicked on the link, expecting a discussion on why do so many incompetent men become leaders, only to find a discussion on why do so many incompetent men become leaders.

I was disappointed.
There are two questions here. One is why are the men who become leaders incompetent. I think it has nailed that one. The other is why men become leaders and women don't. I think it found one contributing factor, but not a cause.

Read http://consultingadultblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/ceo-archetyp... for insight into other factors that contribute to men having a significant advantage in the hierarchy over men.
And this money is funneled to startups. Enjoy your "blood money" :).
Exactly. He could donate 99% of his wealth, and still be billionaire.

Yet he won't do that, he asks others to fix the public finances. While doing virtue signalling in public about equality.

His company, along with google and Facebook are the biggest tax dodgers on earth.

In Academia (at-least in CS where I did a PhD), you have to be working on a novel idea. It doesn't matter how many people actually care about the problem you are working on and/or will be impacted - as long as the idea is new and you are the first one.

Completely opposite in the startup. The problem has to be relevant. It doesn't matter if 5 other startups before you have worked on a similar problem - as long as you can out execute them.

This switch requires some serious "unlearning"
It should at least emit a humorous message asking the developer what are they really trying to accomplish by that.
> it just doesn't seem like there is anything remotely like this going on today

It seems to me like the STEM heroes these days are working together on vaccine technologies. If you follow developments in mRNA technology you'll see there's a lot of international cooperation. It seems to me that current collaboration is on an even greater scale than the STEM heroes of the early 20th century, but it probably won't become clear to many until we look on it in retrospect 50 years from now.
At the weekend I calculated that Amazon's UK division pays 77x more corporation tax than my company. Which sounds fine, until I realize my company is probably worth 1000000x less than Amazon's UK division ;-)
This is a good article. Especially in that it talks a little bit about error handling which does not feel like a strength of NimbleParsec.

Another good resource is this talk by Saša Jurić on Parsing from First Principles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNzoerDljjo) where he talks about parser combinators and live-codes a simple Elixir PC library.

That inspired me to build my own alternative to NimbleParsec . Partly because my use case makes error handling very important and I couldn't get a grip on how to do that with NP and partly as a decent problem to get to grips with Elixir. I'm currently figuring out lookahead.

This is a great area to play in that has a lot of useful applications.
Yandex is a company registered at the Netherlands, 99% of the company's developers are located in Russia.
So, technically Yandex is Russian.
Honestly if someone told me that, I might believe them haha. $706B. Enough to provide basic income for $300/month.
I don't know if they were learning or not. They simply expected English. Nothing against that particular individual; my point is that in Amsterdam, English is the norm.
Fluency.
If their consent manager doesn't distinguish between EU and non-eu, I doubt they'll handle your data differently
No such thing. A company like Apple doesn't just click through a Google developer agreement and generate some API keys and off they go. All integrations will have explicit agreements reviewed by an army of lawyers.
I'm not austrian (for example, I believe that the velocity theory of monetary value is partially true). You're the one that boxed me into that category. Only about 20% of what they say is any good, but those parts are definitely not being said by anyone else.
Or as law enforcement call it: parallel construction.

The sales rep was probably expected to reach out claiming some other reason, making it look like the standard LinkedIn spam, but in reality much more targeted.
Of course it should be less. Why would it ever be more?

We can start by ending the war on drugs, which has imprisoned millions.
As I like to say, populism is not a 4-letter word...
I'd be interested in hearing what people with actual experience fighting in war zones think of the game. How realistic is it really?
We have a how-to sizing guide here (http://bit.ly/e7q8La) and we do free remakes if your shirt doesn't fit as you'd like :) Free returns, remakes and even refunds on a custom product, we think that's pretty risk free.
I deleted my comment (that Wall Street firms were threatening to take Google's stock price hostage until Mr. Page acknowledges, and therefore justifies, the existence of their analysts) to avoid hijacking this discussion. However, if you read the article, you'll see that's exactly what they're threatening to do. And given Google's 8%+ drop on Friday, they seem to be doing it rather successfully.
Just to clarify, you mean that a json object can be deserialized into an object of the c# class, right? or just the class definition (as done by the site)?

If latter, how do you use the class definition generated dynamically? (without the values, that is)

Symbology? I'm sure the word you were looking for was "symbolism." What is the ssss-himbolism there?
Is there a gallery somewhere of designs people have done? Can I enter mine in the Ugliest Shirt Of All Time category?

This seems like it has great gift potential. Is there any way we can load a gift card so that when entered it comes up with a shirt design the giver prepared as a suggestion? That way it's a step closer to a personalised gift but without the difficulty of returning it is not liked!

Edit: No I wont be sending out the Ugliest Shirt Of All Time as a gift...
> Um, counter-rotating wheels are still gyroscopes.

Um, no. A system consisting of two identical wheels mounted on the same axle and spinning at the same speed in opposite directions has a total angular momentum of zero. It will behave like a solid object of the same mass.
That is what I meant :D
The major shareholders of Google remain inside Google, especially when you consider voting shares.
ProTip: Human psychology and experience are sufficiently variable that One True Way responses for complex activities are exceedingly rarely universal.

What works for one person often does not for others. What works for a person at one stage of life often doesn't at others. What works in the short term often does not in the long.
just because something is packaged does not mean it’s usable. YMMV but this is how security horror stories start. Someone ran a container they had no idea where it came from, happily used a helm chart. Most of the times it’s not even malicious - it’s outdated software because “it just works”
I mean...this is them open sourcing it?
I don't think there needs to be a 10x label. It's not healthy to actually call people out as 10x or not publicly, I definitely agree with that.

But the truth is there are people who are insanely productive relative to median, and 10x is just a rough term to refer to them.

I do think it's worth paying those people 2x or more over paying 1x for two median devs. The trick is being able to identify them accurately... that relies on a well honed interview. There's risk in compensating people so highly if your judgment turns out to be wrong.

Certainly definitions won't be universal, but this type of person tends to do very well regardless of the environment/language etc.

> I encountered a bug where the cpu would spike to 100% constant load

A bit off topic - but is that an underlying problem with go-lang projects? I've seen a similar problem when using a couple of other go-lang tools, where the entire CPU hits 100% and locks the machine. Too many channels/threads perhaps?
