Firefox central can "recall" and block any rogue extension.

They did it last year when Microsoft tried this, they should do it for this one too asap.

I purposely do not run as the default firefox profile, so I don't think Microsoft got me this time...
Is that what he's saying? It sounds like something he would say but in this instance it's more like he's claiming a first for Apple because he's unaware that the Evo shipped with video chat software.

My bigger point was that if you are a hardware platform provider working with 3rd parties then you provide the hardware and then the 3rd parties provide the software. Many, perhaps most, of the compelling iPhone experiences work this way too. Apple provide the accelerometers, games companies provide the games that use them etc. It seemed odd to limit either Android or the iPhone to 1st party software/hardware combinations.

And regarding, Skype, you might want to read that again. Even if the anonymous source actually exists and works at Skype, the text sounds like a veiled insult and an ad for their own existing and very successful video calling network:

We would welcome the opportunity to work with Apple to bring mobile video calling not only to our many millions of Skype users on iPhone around the world, but also to the countless more making video calls on desktops, TVs and other connected devices

I'm guessing they might also be hinting that they don't want their duplicate functionality blocked by Apple. Facetime only gets linked to Skype in the headline of the original pocketlint blog, the rest all seems to be about Skype wanting to access the new hardware in iPhone 4. The CNET blog seems to garble this message into Skype wanting to use Facetime.
That's neither true nor the problem.

The issue is people who are not producing content for children and claim it properly but have that categorization overruled by the FTC or Youtube. This then removes their revenue and incurs legal fines. Youtube is also now doing this with automatic bots that have no understanding of context and comes with a long appeals process.

This severely hurts creators who get unfairly and inaccurately caught up in this while having no control over any of the data collection practices of Youtube which started this whole mess.
I think you have the cause and effect reversed. US/USSR conflict was used to fire up fear and unity (paranoia and nationalism) in the population for the people in power and that complex became independent when it started to make believers out of the people who created it and their followers.

Standalone complexes like that flip around and start controlling the people who created them to control others and take on a life of their own nurtured and directed by people who want to use them to gain power – nurtured but no longer controlled.

Not really both. If anything, they are a temporary quick-unlock key. After a restart, before an extra-sensitive operation, and also after a certain amount of time/unlocks you can’t use your fingerprint to unlock things anymore and need to use your normal passcode/pattern.
I can't see how TikTik censors more than facebook or most other social platforms. This seems only to be a concern since it's the "other" side (Chinese in this case) doing it.

Yeah I could give you a nice list of words that results in an similar results page from Google, Youtube or Facebook.
True, but there's no award for how obvious the average bug is. I've also found we often reach huge problems after being distracted by a bunch of minor sloppiness. Submit a PR that has a serious flaw in it, but is otherwise top-quality, and people may find that flaw. Submit the same PR, but name every variable "data" or "value", change every constant to an uncommented magic number, and cram in some jQuery functions even though it's deprecated in your project, and reviewers will happily point out all those things while completely missing the serious flaw.
the gdpr managed to do that. the solution is to focus on user experience and privacy not technical details as counters or ip addresses
So many parts of the world have such terrible living conditions that anyone with an option will leave even though it means leaving your family and everything you know behind, while those left behind are those with no options stuck there, and most rich countries do their best to make it harder and harder for anyone else to make it there... and you conclude this is a positive thing? Truly we live in the best of all possible worlds!
i wish it had added root support which doesn't need vpn to block ip and can use iptables directly.

AFL Firewall can do this atm.

The problem with blocking via VPN is if we close app vpn also closes (instead of running in background as service) which can happen due to clearing all apps.
They have. And modern violins in these studies scored better as I recall.
"This is a list of vegetables which are grown or harvested primarily for the consumption of their leafy parts"

Cauliflower? Quinoa? Broccoli? Sweet potato?
Possibly. There is lots of category abuse going on right now. I’m primarily aware of masks, hand sanitizer, etc. being listed under other categories (Amazon put a moratorium on new listings for the sold out product categories; this would be a way to avoid that). But it would not surprise me at all if some seller is listing non-essential products in essential categories so that they’re able to send in replenishment shipments.
The short term pain solution would be accepting the higher fatality rate for heard immunity.

But it's a much higher mortality rate without the social distancing since the hospitals will be overwhelmed so the mortality rate will approach the hospitalization rate if 15 - 20%
Amazon only stopped inbound shipment of non-essential products. Outbound shipments are turned on for all products.
Static site generator for non-technical people:

1. Write your article in Microsoft Word.
2. Save as 'Web Page, Filtered'
3. Upload/Place in html folder on Webserver.

Almost everyone has access to a copy of Word, if not I think LibreOffice has a html save function also.

This solution is 100% wrong for us technical people, but for non-techies who just want to get the information out there it's a really good option imho.
As a viewer I dont really feel (and defiantly do not see) the difference between how physically prepared e-sports or real life drivers are. I see track, cars, racing lines, overtakes. So I really enjoy watching e-racing. Only complain is that e-racing spectating camera work needs improvements. There is huge untapped potential in how e-racing is presented. I hope games will experiment more in this (spectating) direction.
I am curious about this too. Even before covid outbreak I occasinally had packages that took more than 2 days to be delivered. With the current situation, of course I understand it is going to take longer to deliver packages. So I do not make a fuss about these things nor did I for three instead of two day deliveries in the past. However I still think Amazon is responsible for not honoring their part of Prime membership contract. I am not in any way demanding priviledged service during these times because I paid an annual membership fee. Still I expect Amazon to partially refund membership fees to Prime members.

This is clear as day to me. For whatever reason they fail to provide the service they take my money for. People tend to think of you as an entitled person when you say this. It is not like I am mad at them for delivering my Nintendo game in three days instead of two. No. It is just that they asked for extra money for delivering that game to me in two days. I gave them what they asked for. In the end, they did not perform the action that they asked the money for. So they have to give that money back.

I get the generally sympathetetic comments about businesses struggling in these hard times. I believe you guys that want to help businesses and our economy get through hard times are good people. Just forgive me for not feeling sad for a company that is making huge profits anyway but still trying to keep one or two dollars here and there that they did not really earn.
Can someone summarize what's the best technique for breathing well? Something everyone can do daily and improve? I read the article (I think) seen no guide there.
As for the lower ratings for the higher max # of players, I wonder if that might also be attributed to many of those games supporting a variable number of players. In a lot of cases, they're not equally good across different numbers of players and have fewer optimization opportunities than a game targeting a specific player count.

Pikketys contribution is not his conclusion but the data that backs up the conclusion.

Most people already knew what Pikkety concluded, they just didn't have evidence for it. Now we do and until someone shows better evidence it's hard to claim Piketty is making mistakes without most probably being politically motivated to do so.

His solution on the other hand was an unnecessary but understandable addition to the book.

And I say this as a European style liberal.
It's a really great way to understand your network of associates and form groups. Probably more so than e-mail. Although I'd imagine text messages would be the best cache of information a lot of that runs through European telecom companies and probably isn't as easily routed through to the NSA.

If anything then he has proven exactly what you're saying, hence that it is OK to being explicit rather than try and be picky about these things, and that code readability can easily be a priority in python.

There are also a few exceptions (the update() method on a dict and list comprehensions).

so your in 98-99% of cases not going to be using OSX in production so why introduce more risk by developing on a different system to the end product will run on.
Absolutely not. I am definitely more productive working from home, at least 40% more. Whenever I go to the office, I spend at least half of the day in random off-topic conversations (where people talk to me while I’m trying to focus and write some code). Getting into the flow is almost impossible in the office.
This is why I like encouraging a tradition of hack days or hackathons at companies where I work - once or twice a year set aside a couple of days where engineering teams (or individual engineers) can build anything that they want.

It's a fantastic release valve for people who have an idea that they've not been able to pursue before, it gives people a safe venue in which to try out new technology and it's a great tool for team building and morale boosting in general.
My favorite part about people who use that as justification for not having kids is that they will not have kids. Let them exit the gene pool and the rational people can continue to have children.

Doesn't mean there are no good uses of this technology, but the fact that my Bosch cooker hood is wifi-enabled in case, I don't know, perhaps I need to turn it on while I'm at the office, does suggest that this whole area could do with a serious reality check.
My biggest gripe with C is not even the manual memory management, since with Valgrind and friends they are not that hard to debug. But how do you solve such a basic issue like having a vector-like data type for different types? Its “macro” system is just a disgusting hack, I could just as well write a sed script instead. And the other option is runtime-overhead or copy-pasting code..
Google is great with server stuff, but they've never been as good at end user software. (And they're awful at support across the board.) Witness all the folks that now regularly lose their Chrome extensions and data if they don't login to Google due to a new security feature.
Unless they have substantial discounts over the public S3 prices (which is certainly possible - even likely), you can cut 50% or more off the S3 costs very easily. The AWS markups are crazy high.

You can even save substantial money over "pure" S3 just by proxying and caching requests for the most heavily trafficked objects somewhere with lower bandwidth costs.
It is fascinating that this article comes out in context of Broadcast Board of Governors announcing that US is losing the information war with Russia. Surprisingly it does not occur to the media that telling the truth is the best antidote to Russian propaganda. Instead, the government is complaining that "broadcasters are not always in tune with U.S. foreign policy objectives." Frankly, since I'm paying my taxes to US government, I want free and independent journalism, not the one that is driven by advertisers, corporate sponsors, or US foreign objectives. We used to have that before 1990s when just 6 major media conglomerates ate up 90% of the media companies.

Press release from the OSU lab that did the study - http://news.osu.edu/news/2015/03/23/heatmag

Having been taught by both Roberto Myers and Dr. Heremans, they wouldn't release something like this unless they had repeatedly reproduced results and were extremely confident in their findings.
That was kind of the point.
It doesn't seems to be. I just installed it. Under OS X you get a window to which you can drag and drop files and directories, and you can download files and directories from your Cloud Drive, but not synchronization, selective or otherwise. That makes it a limping service for me.
And, don't forget, allows them to ban users who actually take them up on "Unlimited" clause and then cost them more as they pay.
If everyone got a 50% discount, there would obviously be no problem. If the criteria was unrelated to any ulterior motives (you just have to be uniform), then that seems fine. It is only when providing a discount to a government employee with the expectation of a special benefit that would not be conveyed otherwise...
For home use - you can get a MS Signature edition laptop for little more money than you pay for cheap PCs. Everything is stock Windows and you can expect that to work at least as well as OS X if not more. The problems start when you buy dodgy hardware loaded with ton of bloatware or crappy drivers - the signature edition PCs address that.

If you need a UNIX like system and can't live with Cygwin or native Windows tools then yes, having OS X laptop and hardware is the way to go. Admittedly the Mac hardware is still a bit nicer than anything in PC space but the trouble is Windows support is not very great (look up trouble about System Interrupts taking a ton of CPU on both Windows and Linux running on Mac laptops for instance.)
As an Iranian, this is the first time I hear about these windmills! Unfortunately, the only source of info about them is this National Geography video.

Apple could easily require xcodebuild to run on MacOS in xcodebuild's licensing terms.

No idea what Apple is going to get upset at...

But, surely it is in their business interest to make life easy for developers, especially if doing so isn't undercutting their end-user-focused hardware business? A cloud server running PureDarwin+Xcode is not undercutting their end-user-focused hardware business, and while it might mean they sell slightly less hardware units for that cloud use case (not a core market for them), surely the added ease for their developer community (who develop apps which make those end-user-focused hardware units so attractive) more than makes up for that?
> But investors ultimately care about ROI, and if you didn't invest in Google before the dot com bust then there's a very good chance your entire fund failed.

Google is up 4000% since its 2004 IPO and 1000% from local bottom during the housing bubble crash. Didn't even need to be a VC to get access to VC level gains buying GOOG.
Thanks for that link. I confess I have my own prejudices against LSP. This view just strengthened it some.

Specifically, I feel that there is an anti-fragility to agreeing that we should all be able to write a program that can tell us about the programs we are writing. Getting languages that make this so that we all have to use a central server seems to put us at the mercy of who wrote that server. When it is that same group that wrote the compiler, it seems more likely that they will have the same blind spots.
It's double edged: the co's that can afford to proactively seek better dev tools can also afford internal vanity projects to do them internally. So it becomes a political timing game for the project leads to move on etc. Not fun.

I found an easier path for dev tooling is focus on tools for non-traditional/non-fulltime coders, e.g., analysts, devops, secops, ... , for whom being able to code introduces a superpower, not an increment on status quo within a crowded space. It's a shame devs destroy our own potential.

It is not "calling home" if you enable the collection... Privacy Badger isn't nearly as effective as Ghostery.

Regarding Ghostrank -- isn't it better that ad companies learn to create non-intrusive, acceptable ads so that we don't have to rely on adblockers everywhere and can actually give sites their ad-revenue?
Wow. That's is insane. It appears to be the airline operator (their IT system), not the airline manufacturer that's at fault here though. So it seems a bit weird that this is categorised as a Boeing issue?
Sure, and that’s fine. My statement was based off https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/

My understanding is herd immunity means transmission factor is < 1.0 which means cases will only decrease over time and eventually become zero.

It doesn’t mean nobody will get Covid and as you point out the immunity isn’t evenly distributed - so you could certainly have outbreaks in sub-populations.

But the overall trend should be downward.
> People doing their jobs and receive training should be personally immune from legal liability. That liability should be held by their employer.

They aren’t, outside of government-agent immunities.

> ...which is generally how it works, though it's not as strongly codified as it is with qualified immunity

No, it is not how it works. The idnividual agent is generally personally liable, but the employer generally is often also liable for the torts of its agents under the principle of respondeat superior, or more directly if it also checks all the boxes for having committed a tort without considering that principle.

Gee, it’s as if Twitter benefited from the Capitol situation.
(With tongue planted firmly in cheek) Poor Gab. They were just too early to market.

In all seriousness though, it will be very interesting to see where things go with 'alt' services and whether or not this will just mean screencaps and reposts in the established publishers.
The power of the internet means sure they can. Like that poor Macedonian women who was so upset to be maxed when she was trying be a revolutionary. Our brains are surprisingly susceptible to weak thinking from the internet.
Oddly enough, if Storm Front tried to put an app on the Google Play Store, I don’t think many would be up in arms over it being removed.

Yet when they remove an app used to coordinate the invasion of the capitol building by people with pipe bombs, molotovs, guns, zip ties, bats, etc. it’s suddenly not acceptable? An app that has people openly calling for death to US congressional leaders and the Vice President, and the president elect?
I think if there is a move to radically improve the transparency of voting no matter the method, it would restore confidence in the electoral process. Vote by mail was the main culprit, and it is easier to game voting by mail than in-person voting. So people have valid grounds to doubt the validity of elections, particularly because margins were thin (as they almost always are, but they arouse much greater suspicion when an unprecedented number are voting by mail). That is a process that each state needs to undertake, which is easier said than done. As with the covid response and vaccine administration, federalism shows its structural deficiencies again.
The issue is the right feels underrepresented in the MSM, so they move on to alternative media which are echo chambers, which leads to things like these riots, and the response from the left creates further segregation and more echo chambers. Both sides remain confident they are completely, 100% in the right, because each is living in their own universe. This feedback loop has been going on for a while now and right now it's just going crazy.
Now I realize the importance of open standards and protocols. The beauty of email. I wish there was something like that for twitter
