it isn't just that the economics have changed a bit though, its that the changes in the economics seem to have a disproportionate affect on what artists try to say with their art vs making art that appeals to the customer.

I'm pretty sure the last generation was good enough for HTPC use, so this one should be better. Probably not good enough for real-world 4k, but up to 1080p, yes.
I think that OVH is the third largest hosting provider in the world. Operates its own datacenters in North America and Europe. It's at the same scale as AWS. That's why it makes sense the comparison.
Interchange means changing from one line to another.

===+===

Cross-platform interchange means the tracks are aligned so (for example) the more-or-less northbound tracks of both lines are close together, rather than the opposite track being the same line but in the opposite direction.

They exist in London where it was possible to install them, but it's very difficult to retrofit (if underground) so many of the old lines are stuck the way they are -- with an underground walkway between lines.
> A good point. I think it's convenience that we don't do it, but I'd hope we move in that direction. It seems like a prudent move.

It seems it's simultaneously too difficult to do without ECMA spec support & would require a certificate chain anyway. And if you're running a cert chain infrastructure, why not use the one that already exists and run TLS?

Other side thought: with regards to the usefulness & impracticality of cert pinning, has any work been done on systems specifically designed to target low % injection systems? If 1/10 visitors gets the poisoned page, then it seems you'd have a 9/10 chance to pull a good page for comparison & verification if you (or a proxy you trust) made another request from a different IP.
I think this might be a daft question, but why can't they inject packets with a (roughly) appropriate TTL for the current sequence that they're hijacking? From the two examples shown one might think they're picking ttl's more randomly
Moreover, with a few exceptions, many modern entrepreneurship books simply assimilate and tune content that the authors have already presented online.
Minor conspiracy theory:

Or, the TLA involved have some sort of crack or acceleration procedure; the TLA say "the criminals were dumb" because the people involved can't combat that without admitting guilt, and who'd believe them. The real reason is the TLA used illegal access and tools that we wouldn't be happy they're using against the civilian population? Oh, and the people using the tools are guilty by association so they're inhibited from whistleblowing.
A vegan can take all the offense they want to take so long as they don’t take it out on someone in the office, because there are so many reasons why doing so is wrong (sowing division is one, as mentioned in previous comment) even if veganism itself is scientifically and ethically justified. I’ll leave it at that unless you actually want to talk about veganism in length.

But, going back to the variables that diversity actually pertains to, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion, it’s not as ambiguous and complicated as you make it out to be. You cannot be discriminating people on those grounds because all that really matters in the workplace is what each individual brings to the table. You know, the output that you’re actually getting compensated for. I run a small business and I like to draw talent from a diverse pool of applicants, but anybody who makes sexist or racist remarks isn’t getting hired or is definitely getting fired because I don’t like assholes who introduce non-work related friction in the office, though I really just don’t like working with assholes.

What you also said about the minority adjusting to the majority is just disagreeable. There are so many periods in history where majority of humans believed something about the world that is also wrong. There also always tends to be an objective basis of right and wrong where a clear purpose is defined, so maybe you should clarify your purpose instead of dealing with ethics from a purely abstract level.

I would rather use Postgres and have a RDBMS that is quite strict and migrate data later instead of having a RDBMS that just does what it likes sometimes.

For example, query your table „picture“ with a first column „uuid“ (varchar) with the following query:

SELECT * FROM picture WHERE uuid = 123;

I don‘t know what you expect, I expect the query to fail because a number is not a string. MySQL thinks otherwise.

People throwing themselves in front of food trucks are fanatics. People casually asking if a food that commonly contains an ingredient their moral code prevents them from eating and then choosing not to eat it are not fanatics.

Nothing about their interaction has any impact on your life, other than maybe making you wait an extra 20 seconds in this particular case.
Troy says: " At the time of publishing this blog post, all phone numbers beginning with international codes 4, 6, 8 and 8 have completed loading."

You may be thinking of DesqView? It provided some level of virtualisation and multi-tasking, if you had a competent-enough CPU. Eventually, there was also DesqView/X which allowed you to export DOS and DesqView-aware applications over X11, which was actually kind of cool.
Great news, guys. Keep it up. I'll be watching the progress.
I don't get it. Could someone explain the story?
Actually, the Jesus story never even says there were 3 wise men. It names 3 gifts, but never counts the wise men. Much of the Christmas story (including names for those "3" wise men) comes from church tradition, not the (very short) bible story at all.

I don't think something like that (pure statistical) qualifies as a mind. Neither would the Cyc project you linked to.

I wasn't trying to say anything qualitative about what I think the underlying mechanism of what an artificial-mind will be, but rather that I don't think we can just conjure up a mind that already knows stuff. I think that whatever we end up creating, it will still be something that has to be taught about the world.
On one hand it's not the most economical use of your time if you can sell the time you spend on doing this. On the other hand if you can save 5$ by sacrificing one minute you can get pretty decent hourly rate on your effort.

The Arduino trademark disputes stemming from the rogue founder left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. I'm going to be staying away from the official Arduino hardware until there's some clarity around the whole thing.

My guess is that the pattern is simply "too many requests from a single IP" plus a manually maintained white list.

When working from within the network of a large company that uses a proxy I saw the CAPTCHA regularly for some time.

Of course the CAPTCHA gets answered mostly correctly in this case, which could trigger manual inspection and finally addition to the white list.

In the past, Larry has championed projects like wind power and self-driving cars that there's no conceivable reason for Google to be pursuing.

There are very good reasons for Google to pursue self-driving cars. They have the mapping infrastructure and AI expertise, and it's potentially extraordinarily valuable. Tens of thousands of lives no longer lost annually due to human error, substantially reduced congestion and travel times, the ability to work or play rather than manually drive, reduced need for parking lots, greater freedom of movement for children and the elderly...
> My dream language is one with ML semantics running on top of BEAM. That seems like a natural progression for a platform that was designed to be reliable -- while there have been attempts to graft a more versatile type system onto the Erlang base language, the cleanest way forward seems to be a language purpose-built for the task.

On the other hand, OCaml is pretty fast in most cases. BEAM doesn't have the same reputation. I think I'd rather have a better parallel and distributed computing story (complete with monitoring capabilities) for the existing OCaml ecosystem. The soft realtime guarantees that Erlang offers are IMHO too much of a price to pay.
I think Twitter benefited from having no attractive competition during that time (mostly there were similar sites, with little innovation and few users).

Also I think you get a 6-9month grace from early adoptors while they can see you scaling up staff and getting funding. However, after a certain point they start putting up blog posts about the lack of progress and pointing out alternatives. I think this is partly because it takes a while to get really used to what your app. does and how it's useful to them.

...and you've gotten the legal definition wrong.

That precedent only applies to appellate court decisions is not true. There's persuasive precedent applies amongst courts of the same level.

It the facts and law are the same, a similar lower court decision could indeed be introduced in a similar case. The precedent isn't necessarily binding, but courts will generally defer unless there is a pervasive reason not too.

This is seen when the Supreme Court defers to its previous decisions (stare decisis)

Does the specific feature mentioned in the article have to do with any of this? I fail to see how this proxy can be abused by Apple as you seem to be implying because they won't be able to see the contents of the queries, which is secured by TLS.

Or run modern, up to date FOSS equivalents on machines you control.

I’ve migrated more and more services like that and I’m slowly but surely building my own “cloud”.
For all but the position aspect of that, switching to a trustworthy VPN provider (e.g. ProtonVPN or Mozilla VPN) and using Signal or another VOIP system can provide mitigation. For the position data, that is harder to mitigate but you have to consider your threat profile. The truly paranoid keep their phones with battery removed (when possible) and/or in a faraday bag unless they are actively using them.

You do, of course, pay for this privacy with significantly reduced convenience.
Just to offer a royalist British viewpoint (yes, it is possible to be liberal and a royalist :D).

I really enjoy having a Queen as head of state; and I wish the role hadn't become so namby pamby (basically as described in this article). Here the Queen has "effective"/moral power - but it is just accepted she wont use it.

This is a departure even in recent times; go back 60/70 years and that sentence would have read: Here the Queen has "effective"/moral power - but it is just accepted she wont use it if the politicians behave. I wish we could go back to that.

But, anyway, that is to one side - I meant to explain the idea of royalty. You see a lot of people consider it quaint and ye-olde English. But really in modern times the Queen is just our version of American patriotism. You know that patriotic support for ones country etc. I've always liked that; the idea of believing in an "ideal" (even if the reality is a bit rubbish).

I wish there was more of it, instead of less and less.

(I realise this is mildly tangential to the point of the piece; which actually, IMO, had a solid point to make)
> We had a notorious marketing manager who assigned a value of $3,000 every time someone landed on the contact page of our e-commerce page. He did this because you had to sign up and pass a credit score before actually becoming a customer. No matter that you didn't know if you actually got the email or if the customer actually signed up. But man, did it make the ROI numbers look good.

Heh. When I open up clients' GA I see things like this often. For example, counting visits to a checkout page as a purchase conversion, whether or not the person completed the checkout, assigning dollar values to non-conversion events, etc. To be fair, these were not set up by marketers, and they readily admitted that they were not using GA properly. But to have a marketing manager do that... Ugh.
Haha how did I get downvoted on this sound advice ?
> I’m absolutely certain there are plenty of NFB members who will gladly provide free screen reader accessibility testing for apps they use if the developer is responsive to feedback.

You could be right, but keep in mind that this may not significantly lower the amount of time required for developers to understand and remediate problems. Users have wildly differing levels of technical experience, so you may end up with plenty of feedback that you then have to spend hours understanding, sorting, de-duplicating and following up on.

Not to mention the fact that, bluntly, users who aren't being paid as "experts" just may not be that willing to shit all over your product. I have encountered more than one case of a limited subset of screen reader users reporting a positive experience with a component which broke every rule in the book, and caused very real problems for users outside of that core group.
I’ve been dreaming of organizing code in two dimensions too. Maybe even three dimensions. But at least two. My own thinking is that perhaps with higher resolutions like we have now, and very wide screen monitors becoming popular, more people might start to look into organizing code in more spatial dimensions.

Your paned approach is very interesting. Seems more tidy than purely graphical node-based programming.

Now I am wondering if your approach could also lend itself to debugging code. Where you’d step through the code and each time you step into a function in the debugger it would open a pane with the code of the function to the right. And same for breakpoints so if you ran your code to a breakpoint then it would show each function in a pane organized horizontally corresponding to the stack trace at the point where execution was stopped.
I'd say it was naked self interest for Facebook to remove posts like that, but I wouldn't consider it illegal.

There is also a difference between disliking a company covering up its own bad acts and a company preventing a 3rd party from using its resources for a thing that walks up to the edge (and in many people's opinion crosses over) into inciting other illegal acts.
A RISC-V CPU is inherently more open even from an end user perspective. That is not practically relevant for end-users if you consider somebody using for example a USB stick an enduser.

However you could take the code on your device and run it on a alternatives providers implementation or on an open implementation.

But just like end users of software don't really get practical benefits from open source, its the same for hardware.

The advantage is for the industry and developers.
Yes, how convenient this time, in comparison to the BLM protests which were met with militarized police against peaceful protestors.
Beware building against a paid api as the rates/rules will change under you and you will be more stuck compared to a public api.

I wouldn't trust any api you don't control, don't have a solid contract (without the changable terms) or isn't owned by a nonprofit.

The free ones will hurt you but you expect it. The paid ones hurt more because you often build a business around an ecosystem that eats you up.
I'll have to admit something about myself -- I've never been able to learn how to do anything from just reading its first principles. I need to have a working example that I can then adapt and change and observe changes in the result.

This has been especially true in programming. I've been writing programs in some capacity for 18 years now and not once in that time have I been able to simply read the reference manual of anything and following that write working code on my first try. Well, obviously I've been able to do it for trivial things, like after the Python 2->3 switch when map/filter/range started returning iterables instead of lists, simply being told "map/filter/range/etc. now return an iterable and not a list" is sufficient to explain the change in behaviour, but that's only because I know all the concepts behind it. You could say the explanation is only one level removed from my intuitive knowledge. Things start getting exponentially harder the more levels removed they get, i.e. if it's a new concept explained using new concepts previously defined, but for which I have no intuitive knowledge what they mean.
if you've ever talked to non-fundamentalists, usually they just regurgitate whatever the contemporary secular morality of the moment is with a mild religious gloss, and they suffer in membership much worse than the fundamentalists because it's obvious.

Fundamentalism is usually just taking the source material seriously at what it says; liberal Christianity tends to try and reinterpret the source material to fit contemporary mores. It's impossible to justify homosexuality in the scriptures for example; most progressive arguments end up just setting fire to the inspiration of the bible to do so, by saying "they weren't really speaking about homosexuality" or "why should we trust what Paul says about it ?"

Fundamentalists are disliked, but they are a lot more logically and internally consistent than the mainline. Mainline is just the halfway stop to atheism, honestly.

I've burned through thousands of credits at deathbycaptcha on some "darker" projects of mine, they have a nice service. Depending on the kinds of links you're building, they can be extremely cost effective. If you're going for high volume crappy links, they aren't worth it.

Only if you define "work" as blocking 100% of spam.

The evidence that they work is right in front of you. The incremental cost of posting 1000 spam comments went from basically zero to $1.39.

I use ReCaptcha on my sites and, as far as I can tell, the only spam getting through is humans (typically with .cn hostnames) manually entering the CAPTCHA. Meanwhile it's blocking 100s of dumb, automated attempts.

An interesting idea would be a browser extension which users can pay or subscribe a nominal fee (eg $2 a year) which hooks up to this service so the user would never need to manually enter a captcha.

It would detect a captcha on a page the moment the browser renders the field and it would be completed in ~15 seconds by the time the user scrolls down to the form and completes the other parts.
