I'm not so sure you want your bank to do this, because there is no easy aggregate view if you have multiple banks and/or other accounts to track. I have I think 6 currently with no way to merge (curse of bouncing between countries).

Gnucash is as baroque as you say, but the only one of your options above that actually works and solves this problem (aggregate view) reasonably, of course that can't help you with things like virtual CC limit above. Still, it's much nicer than doing double entry with spreadsheets.

No it will be worse. The original post implied we’d seen the effect of the Christmas idiocy. The cases caught on Christmas Day would be ided about Dec 29 and hospitalised maybe about now and into this weekend

The cases caught from Christmas Day and passed on multiplied to the school return on Monday. That political decision will have killed hundreds needlessly, maybe thousands, just because he didn’t want to back down.
Just curious, are companies that conspire to fraud allowed to continue working on projects that require clearance?

85% of the electric cars sold in Europe Jan-Nov 2020 were not Tesla. Seems like the competition already caught up to them, despite the fanboys claiming it'll never happen.

For 2021, Tesla has nothing new in the pipeline for the European market, while its competitors have quite a lot of models lined up, so I'm pretty sure Teslas marketshare will continue dropping. They'll sell more vehicles than 2020, sure, but only because the EV market as a whole is growing.

This is good advice. A 30 year mortgage is like 2.8% right now, after taxes maybe 1.8%. The stock market over any 18 year time period (after taxes) will return higher than 1.8%. Adding to that, liquidity - having money in the bank provides flexibility, having equity in the house is nearly inflexible.

Multiparadigm will be the paradigm of the future. Dynamic and compiled languages will start to look like each other. There will be more functional programming. There will be more declarative programming. Tools will get smarter about finding and exploiting fine-grained concurrency when freed up by more abstract, declarative, functional code.
Yes, this one is especially annoying. I created an Android app for the Brookstone rover once, see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.almende.ro... and I got some bad reviews for my app because people don't understand that they have to root their smartphone to enable ad-hoc capabilities. It doesn't only make Google look bad, it also reflects on others.
If you are aware of that, it doesn't make a lot of sense to respond by talking about how you believe the leaks were actually genuine data.

I don't expect that we will see the truth be declassified here. As I recall, they usually wait until 50 years after everyone involved is dead.
You can't easily block tracking and ads in apps. Plus, they get 'real estate' on your device, so you will stumble on it / see the brand more often.

For me, 5% sounds more like a the offers I've gotten as first Eng hire, rather than co-founder. A couple months ago, "cofounder" should have gotten this person around 1/3. Now, I think it's reasonable to look around half that - 10-20%, depending on cash comp versus market.

The problem in both foreign investment and offshoring is loss of capabilities critical to national defense. For the former, foreign ownership of capital enables foreign sabotage of critical sectors. Should the US be in conflict with a major investor nation (Who are we kidding? The most concerning such nation is China), capital can either be pulled out of the country or ownership can be leveraged to reduce key production.

For the later, well, Chinese shipyards can now build aircraft carriers at at comparable rates and at lower price than the US. Loss of US Navy power has not happened yet, but if China keeps innovating the writing is on the wall. Loss of US Naval monopoly would imply that the Pax Americana and the petrodollar itself are in jeopardy. Maybe that's a good thing if 'creative destruction' is the goal, but I would personally not be better off under a Chinese-led global order than under an American one.
I was thinking about that the other day when Snap reached $100B in market cap. That’s a mobile app whose continued success rides entirely on the good graces of Apple and Google.
I feel like this isn't that hard.

1. Write (some) tests as you develop to help you

Writing down your program's test cases should not add much time (assuming you have test infrastructure setup like you should), since you are already having to consider these things to simply figure out what the right logic is. With a little practice, you find a good rhythm for how far to take it for yourself. In my experience, I find this actually leads to faster and more correct solutions.

2. Collect tests while in review to cover the requirements

Once you've written it though, it's always important to try and get others to look over your code and try and find flaws. Ideally, they can even write tests for you to add to the feature. This is just a standard part of any good peer review.

3. REGRESSION TEST

Finally, though I'm not sure it matters very much who writes it, regression tests are something I never see stressed enough. I feel like if you are serious about testing, every bug should be required to add at least one test to the suite before it can be closed.

Just my 2-cents.

:rolleyes: we were talking about Android. Almost all Android apps are Java. Java & Kotlin are the official languages of Android. Large parts of Android are written in Java.

We've explained again and again and again how the theory present is that Google needed an escape hatch from Java. The crude theory of Fuchsia being an escape hatch for Google, a way to get off Java, is at least true, in that it would help them get off Java. Which their most successful OS, Android, is extremely reliant upon.

Yes, underneath, Android uses Linux. Until recently it's been a fairly mangled, hacked up Linux, but allegedly Android keeps getting closer to being able to run on mainline Linux. But Android is not Linux. Android is Linux plus lots and lots and lots of subsystems: display & audio subsystems, all sorts of other stuff, endless apis & platform & device subsystems. A huge amount of them being written in Java. Google's #1 OS was extremely coupled to Java. This is in no way debateable? Spend a couple minutes doing the most cursory of investigations & you should see: Google was extremely tied to Java. Still are.
Playing from editor is the testing on desktop. You can make a parallel builds in Unity with the new build tools. Hot swapping code breaks down quickly as complexity increases (it’s also supported by default in Unity). With nested prefabs changes can be made while scenes are running and preserved. You can debug an unity game remotely with Rider or Visual Studio, you can add new code, change execution order, memory, etc. I guess Ya got Unity best on build speed though; although, I bet a lot of what you saw as build time was asset conversion. In my experience with unity I rarely leave the editor/rider combo and I only make builds when testing new libraries (because of IL2CPP) and for performance analysis. It is much, much faster to iterate through the editor than hot swap could ever hope to achieve; I can test every resolution, notch configuration, etc without leaving the editor. I have built professional games with custom engines, unreal 3, unity, and torque and Unity is by far the most enjoyable to make games in.

Yes and no. It’s harder to convince folks to switch going from 0.1% to 10%. But you are also talking about winning the low hanging fruits.

once you get those easy wins the rest take a bit to chip away at.

while initial growth was 100x, that pace is going to slow down as marketshare increases.
Such a humanitarian!
> but the inertia is so great it's not possible.

It is possible, but difficult. You may lose access to some groups, but you can't have everything you want without some sacrifice.

Personally, I'm leaving WhatsApp. Yes, my family and friends will be a bit annoyed about the hassle of contacting me separately, but so be it.
I predict a cost of absolutely zero.
> * The sentiment of your message almost makes it looks like you are trying to say Whatsapp is no worse at E2E than the others?*

That was not my intention.

I'm trying to say that E2E implies a very specific threat model, and that WhatsApp are in fact in position to subvert theirs in pretty straightforward ways. Their group messages have never been E2E, which means that if they were to force a client update where all communications are always group chats and UI hid this fact, the users would be none the wiser. They could also use their client-side content filtering to build keyword histograms and upload those periodically to their servers, without breaking their E2E.

In fact, I was trying to point out that they do not necessarily need to inspect or store message contents. WhatsApp is owned by a marketing analytics giant. With all the noise about E2E and metadata, people forget (or ignore) that traditionally intelligence about communications has been primarily about traffic analysis ("metadata"). Tapping into the communications has been of course a valuable goal, but knowing the communication patterns, frequencies, memberships and direction/timing of communications within groups has been enough to build valuable intelligence.

Sure. Access to content allows to do keyword and semantic/NLP based targeting. But the aggregation of marketing cohorts and their various relationships is likely a much more valuable asset. These relationships are also known as the social graph. And E2E, as implemented in WhatsApp, does not protect against it. They know who you communicated with, when, and where you were at the time.

Signal on the other hand have done a lot of work to enable not only E2E protected, but also properly untrackable group communications.

> But that's not even in the same league as having basically a message spying built-in, turned on, always on, inside your damn messenger app itself.

You hit the nail on the head. If you can't trust the client, practically any and all E2E promises are worthless. We agree on this one.

You also touch upon a wider problem across the messaging technology space. The term end-to-end-encryption has been hijacked as a high-value keyword by every snakeoil salesman. It confers a high level of trust, precisely because when implemented correctly, it provides guaranteed message content confidentiality. But even in this thread, we see that the term E2E is routinely used to imply even higher standard: that of anonymous communication.

Anonymity, confidentiality and integrity are all aspects of communications security. End-to-end can guarantee the last two, assuming the endpoints remain secure or at least trusted. Getting the first one included is going to require a lot of hard work, and in case of WhatsApp, would go directly against their owner's motives.
> I did not know, securing the capitol is the job of the president? Aren't those seperate sectors?

DC is not a state, it’s a district under federal control. There is a mayor and a police department, but responsibilities that would normally fall to a state-level government are handled federally.

This is a contentious issue in the US right now, because it means that the residents do not have representation in the house and senate.
I remember my freshman year of college 8 years ago watching bitcoin go from under $10 to $60 and back and forth. I never invested in it but I remember being in awe of watching its price skyrocket within the course of a day and come crashing down the next. Obviously I wish I invested in it but I blame naïveté. I wonder what would have happened if I read the whitepaper.

Last year while I was gaining unemployment money and had extra funds I chose to buy myself things instead of investing in crypto.

I finally got around to investing a couple hundred dollars tonight. Took me long enough. I sure wish that I invested any amount in bitcoin at any point I have known about it in the past 8 years.

Bitcoin is a fantastic way to hold value as long as it as viewed as valuable and its valuableness is being cemented further and further everyday. Bitcoin might be a bubble but with the shrinking of the middle class and a growing lack of faith in government, bitcoin is becoming a fantastic way to hold wealth and the demand is going to go up as the availability of new bitcoins goes down.

At this point I’m not convinced the price of bitcoin will ever be stable, but that’s okay.

This is a cop-out - the entire "people will find other things to do" argument is a total cop-out.

Yes, in aggregate, over long timespans (read: multiple generations), people will figure out other things to do. But as we've seen from the automation of manufacturing jobs in the US, a huge number of people haven't retrained, nor have magical jobs "we couldn't even imagine" erupted en masse to absorb a chronically un- or under-employed work force.

I submit that the oversimplified notion that people who lose their jobs to technology will be fine and find something else to do is mainly a device to make people like us feel better - it isn't a notion that actually helps the displaced.
Any source for these notable facts?

> It never occurred to Nick to put the cards away before going through security screening? Oblivious beyond belief.

Obnoxious beyond belief. You're saying "he should know better and hide the perfectly legal thing that he was doing". In the same line of thought, if you're learning Arabic online without going through Tor, you're asking for it. Right?

EDIT: Found the source[1]. The full context is:

> The flashcards included every day words and phrases such as “day before yesterday,” “fat,” “thin,” “really,” “nice,” “sad,” “cheap,” “summer,” “pink,” and “friendly.” However, they also contained such words as:
“bomb,” “terrorist,” “explosion,” “attack,” “battle,” “kill,” “to target,” “to kidnap,” and “to wound.”

Doesn't sound like he handed the TSA agent 10 suspicious flashcards, which is the point you're making, but rather that these words are as relevant in a Middle-Eastern context as they are in an English context.

So, this guy is guilty of not censoring his flashcards pre-emptively. Yes, I see your PoV now.

The company holding patents for e-ink is literally retarded, as if they don't want it to succeed. I'm not making this up. [1]

OLED is patent encumbered too, there's also a patent holding company, despite that you can buy smallest modules for less than $2 on AliExpress.

While there was some pre-production, I disagree that vaccine supply is the only binding constraint we have going on. And the lack of sane regulatory approvals and sane distribution setups has been heartrending.

If you look at https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-glo... and scroll down to "U.S. Vaccination Campaign" you will see that in the US 74.5% of the vaccine doses that have been delivered have actually been used.

This could happen for a combination of two reasons, as far as I can see: either delivery is ramping up so fast that most of the delivered doses were delivered very recently, or because people are doing a terrible job of using doses that get delivered.

My impression is that the latter is a larger factor than the former, so far, based on the wide variation by state in the "Supply used" column. West Virginia has used ~96% of their supply. D.C. and Rhode Island have used only 60% (and it's not like their populations are larger or more spread out than West Virginia's!). And I should note that I can imagine various poverty-and-social-whatever issues D.C. might be facing, but they don't obviously apply to Rhode Island in the same way.

Things like http://www.arnoldkling.com/blog/virus-update-3/ item 3 are pretty common: crazy vaccine-distribution setups meaning people who want vaccines can't get signed up to get them, while vaccines are getting thrown out due to spoilage.

Things like https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/10/us/houston-doctor-fired-c... are, I hope, not common, but you can bet that case will have a chilling effect on efforts by doctors to avoid wasting vaccines.

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/14/w... includes this incredible from a major vaccine manufacturer: "Instead we have a patchwork of approvals and I have 70m doses that I can’t ship because they have been purchased but not approved. They have a shelf life of six months; these expire in April."

Does that sound like a manufacturing supply constraint to you?

Similar is https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2021/01/ap... where we have a vaccine, and a factory that can produce it, and the vaccine is approved in the UK, but it's not approved in the US. This is also not a supply constraint.
I worked on the Facebook MySQL team for a few years. SELECT * was banned for exactly the reason GP stated. One scenario that can really bite you here is having a column of sub-structured data, like a JSON struct, added to an existing table of “skinny” data: imagine your schema is (id, first, last, phone, email) and you add a bio_as_html column. Now your SELECT * is returning a potentially large, opaque string blob for every row, to no purpose. This wastes network bandwidth, CPU, heap pressure, cache pressure, and so on.

Another reason—if you have multiple databases (or just non-synchronous replicas) and do online schema changes, it’s possible to end up with different schemas visible on the same table. If you are confident that every engineer in your employ is an experienced SQL author and/or your ORM is perfect and would never access a column by index number rather than text name, you should be OK. Everybody else should query explicit column names.

The companies have hinted there is much more they would like to talk about, but aren't allowed to. It must be hugely frustrating for them to see headlines like this, and be saying "yes, but you are missing the really important facts which we know but aren't allowed to tell you!".

I wondered if the comments in those slides about these companies "joining the program" were meant to be an internal joke. In other words, this could be internal NSA jargon for "screwed up their security badly enough that we were then able to wholesale intercept data going between their servers".

These latest revelations would seem to imply that no, it's not an internal joke.
What they did have was an obsessive focus on the user

I'm surprised to read this. Google's products never seem to me to be the result of an obsessive focus on the user. Rather they seem to be the by-product of an elegant engineering concept, with the interface something of an afterthought.
I tried to register a two-letter domain with few registrars found by googling: it seems that one isn't allowed to register a two-letter .is domain anymore; a very common policy in domain names.

With the Amazon Appstore (one word, remember), I thought Android would become a lot more interesting, if Amazon made a phone for themselves that leverages the store, so it isn't as fragmented and unintelligible as "Android phones in general".

As for a tablet, I don't really get where they're going with this; if I were them, I'd at least wait and let the other manufacturers test the waters first.
