No one in management wants the expense or the overhead of actual security. They want the "theater" of security, the good feeling, the box to check on their resume (as management) so everyone can pretend everything is fine and go back to the business at hand. Then something real happens, a leak of user data, or credit cards or internal memos... suddenly everyones job is security and no one knows what to do. The last problem gets solved, there is more "theater" and a few quickly forgotten changes that get worked around or just ignored in the long run.

The incentive is that if every box was checked and shit hits the fan, insurance is on the hook to pay for stuff and not the company or the responsible party.
Haha, nice, but you should even lower the contrast on the text to identify as a typical "dumb designer low contrast low quality" outlet. :)
You can make sense of the differences abstractly considering the band, the state register and the instruction table of a Turing machine.
I was born in 84, My city had the manual phone mixed with the dial phone until early 90s, so I remember as a kid my grandmother picking the phone and asking the operator -whom I knew since it was a small city- to connect her to someone ...
Yeah, I do this, but I also have alot of things compiled into my fork that it doesn't do (yet).
It's such a blind cultural arrogance. Build a narrative of how the world works in the high-tech areas of the USA and just bring that with you everywhere.
I really want to agree with you. But that assumes that the vendor/maintainer of open source software has a responsibility to not engage in "bad behaviour." I simply disagree. The only reason Linus Torvalds doesn't screw over everyone tomorrow is because he places value in the reputation of his code tree. (And also because his code tree sees so much sunlight that any such fuckery wouldn't go unnoticed.)

Clearly the maintainers of Atom don't place value in their reputation. Just be thankful that the maintainers have conveyed their true colours for all to see.
I'd suspect the risks of a ground-control system would be substantially higher than the chance of a pilot deliberately crashing a plane every decade or so.
Yes, but they don't "ship" as often.

I wish to see a similar site made for changing passwords.

One use case is when the password storage is compromised but also helps when you grow more paranoid over time and need to rotate and max out the passwords.

I am the GNU Taler co-maintainer and working paper co-author. The development is community-driven. But as you see from the paper, the community is talking with central banks about deploying it. There is no contradiction.

Love Tailwind. It delivered on the promise of what I always wanted Bootstrap to be. Most notably, the `@apply` directive making it possible for me to refactor out my tailwind utility classes that I prototype with means that I can move fast and not end up with an eventual mess.

I'll echo other folks who have said that using Tailwind has significantly increased how quickly I can put together frontend stuff -- it's close to a 5x speedup for me workflow wise.

I would think any service that wants to be consumed will have CORS configured?

All else should be forbidden, that is the whole point of CORS.
Personally, I would say I learned very much when I first watched these videos on YouTube. Not about colors, though.
The article mentions that she started at Google in 2015; things may have been different then.

This was also her first job out of school, and I'll admit I, too, fell for the hype at my first tech job, before learning all the obvious-in-retrospect things being discussed here.

Most of what you said is a fair retort, but boost isn't quite as rosy as you make it seem. It's great but it has serious pitfalls which is why many C++ developers really hate it:

A) Boosts supports an enormous amount of compilers & platforms. To implement this support is an enormous amount of expensive preprocessor stuff that slows down the build & makes it hard to debug.
B) Boost is inordinately template heavy (often even worse than the STL). This is paid for at compile time. Some times at runtime and/or binary size if the library maintainers don't do a good job structuring their templates so that the inlined template API calls a non-templated implementation. The first C++ talk I remember talking about this problem was about 5-7 years ago & I doubt boost has been cleaned up in its wake across the board.
C) Library quality is highly variable. It's all under the boost umbrella but boost networking is different from boost filesystem, different from boost string algorithms, different from boost preprocessor, boost spirit, etc. Each library has its own unique cost impact on build, run, & code size that's hard to evaluate a priori.

Boost is like the STL on steroids but that has its own pitfalls that shouldn't be papered over. Maybe things will get better with modules. That's certainly the hope anyway.
Everyone and their cat understands that it is hypocritical bullshit. They'd let his incitements slide easily if he was their political ally and not an opponent.

I don't have a horse in that race, but it is disgusting how people defend this blatant and obvious bias as perfectly normal thing.
Exactly. And we have a tried and true way of identifying great managers. Can you deliver a great result, on time and on budget.

Why MS never focused on output is beyond me.

If you're talking about Multi-User Chats, then on entering a room the server should send previous messages (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html#enter-history), with no requirements set in stone (except when the client specifies a maximum amoun to send).

When a client logs in, it is true that a server doesn't have to send messages back, but that's the goal of XEP-0313.
It seems to me this standard is only really useful for APIs to be consumed by a specific GUI or GUI framework, as opposed to "data-centered" APIs that exist to provide access to a particular dataset for myriad purposes.
Having a "links" section makes no sense in the latter case -- that's what docs/Swagger/RAML are for.

My stab at imposing some consistency on data APIs boils down to a header and a data section. The header's utility is in describing the data, most obvious utility comes from including a "count: 235" or paging data.

Less-obvious is having self-describing data, namely including the path and query parameters in the header, so you could ingest the data sans request and still know what it represents.

But it's a little bikesheddy, and that might be that data-only APIs are so freaking simple that no standard is really necessary. If so, I must question writing a standard around how we happen to build GUIs today as it seems doomed to SOAPy failure. But hey I'm not "full-stack" ...
I like the concept, it's a cool way of introducing Bayesian probabilities!

The conclusion strikes me as overly confident, though. It implies that if we had 100 Han Solo's, we are very confident that about 3/4 of them are going to make it through. This comes about because it uses this:

We're going to say that C3PO has records of two people surviving and 7,440 people ending their trip through the asteroid field in a glorious explosion.

as data for Han's odds of making it. But 100 out-of-shape people dying on the ascent of Mount Everest does not tell us anything about the odds for someone who is very fit.

I would rather model that there is no one true probability of making it through - it's going to be dependent on the pilot. Mediocre pilots might have odds in the neighborhoud of 1/3720, but there is presumably a lot of variance depending on skill, and my prior belief is that Han would wind up in the upper end of the distribution.
This appears to be exactly the concept I was talking about. Maybe I read about these numbers some time ago and forgot that they already had a name.

Does this service do things like carbon conductive ink? Been designing a gamepad board but haven't found many easy pcb sites that list conductive ink.
I've never disputed that this was the convention for RAM. But it never has been for harddrives.

To borrow your C64 example, the most popular harddrives to add to a C64 were Lt.Kernal(Fiscal) drives. The first model, sold as 10MB, was 256 bytes per sector, 32 sectors per track, for 1224 tracks. Giving us a raw capacity of 10,027,008 bytes - 10MB or 9.5MiB.

You're talking about it being a convention in home computers when the vast, vast majority of them simply didn't have harddrives - While the machines that did have harddrives were already using base10 (an RK05 was 1.2Mwords - 1,200,000 words. Twice the RK04's 600kwords).

The convention has always been base2 for RAM and base10 for storage. And yes, it's always caused confusion. Just as the convention has always been bits/sec instead of bytes/sec for linespeed, even though this also causes confusion to this day.

The awkward truth is that none of this was ever intended to be consistent. From the day we started selling computers to people who weren't 100% sure what these numbers meant, it's always been "close enough".
Google and Facebook made 1 - 1.5 original innovations each.

Rest is just network effect, acquisition, integration and preventing competition. Their internal projects are usually failures.
I think you're being downvoted since you are rhetorically asking questions people have already beat to death. The main two answers being (a) each virus behaves differently, so extrapolation should be done carefully, and not just from your personal experience with surviving past flu's (b) there isn't a limit on how much vaccine we can produce in total, so there isn't really a good reason not to get it. That's perhaps like saying the flu vaccine is only half effective (which is true), so I'd rather get sick twice as often, rather than signal that I trust science.
I'm a bit confused between there's a hugely popular place between inheritance-based entities and ECS (Entity-Component-System), which is what you could call a "Entity-Component system) (notice spelling) or perhaps a Component-based entity composition system.

Inheritance based: you derive Vechicle, then derive Tank, Car, etc. This was most used from 95 to 2005 as teams moved to C++.

Component based: you create a TreadsMovement component, a Turret component, a Wheels component, a Chassis component, etc. Each contains the data and behaviour for what they represent. You compose them together at runtime inside Entity objects to create tanks, cars, etc at runtime. Popularized by Scott Bilas' engine for Dungeon Siege. This is classic Unity. Most used from 2005 to today.

ECS: data-oriented where components are data-only, and behaviour logic lives in systems that act on a set of instances that contain certain subset of components. Entities are just ids for the set of components that make up the data for a given active object in the game. Entities and Components are best understood as a database which systems query and select from.

I don't know enough Godot to be sure if it's Inheritance or Component, but I know I left "classic" inheritance based behind almost 20 years ago and would never want to go back. Even back in 1997, the Commandos 1 engine was already half Component-based (but it took us a while to refine the Component model and intercommunication).
Computers are much faster when they operate on things that are laid-out contiguously in memory, instead of jumping around following pointers.

You need to use a programming language like C++ to be able to this. In JavaScript, all objects are pointers, so there's no way to do this.

Google "data-oriented design" to learn more.
> I proposed the window-middle-aisle scheme to a task force that wanted to improve boarding times, and they ran a pilot for a while, but never implemented it widely, probably because of how disruptive it was to groups and families.

I haven't booked tickets in large groups, but usually when I fly with family, we're all on the same record and in the same row, so we could get lumped into the same group and optimize our row individually.
Could you clarify what your understanding of 'meditation'?

There are many different ways to meditate, from different traditions, with different objectives, secular and non-secular, with no/anecdotal/scientific evidence etc., e.g.

* Mindfulness meditation

* Loving kindness meditation

* Transcendental meditation

* Visualisation

* Chanting and praying

* Progressive muscle relaxation

* ...

It feels to me you are defending one particular school of thought (that has given you benefits) rather than meditation?
I think there's a difference between not having a professional network at all, and not having one on linkedin.

Bitcoin (as an investment) is a pyramid scheme. It produces no wealth but has become a powerful means of transferring wealth to the upper layers of the pyramid by growing through the base of the pyramid and recruiting the "greater fools" still out there. It was meant as a currency but has become a investment goal and thus a pyramid scheme. Lets get rid of it, not least for the sake of environment.
From what you've written it sounds like it's a great implementation for solving this problem! But I'm only a so-so dev and I just can't do much without great documentation-- the tutorial section on this page just isn't enough for me to feel confident that I can wield this tool in a meaningful way.
BBC World News was not really available in China anyway, it was available in certain hotels, but even then it was highly censored. It’s not unusual to have the screen go black suddenly because some “sensitive topics” started airing.

It still didn't make sense to me so I googled it and found,
"Kummerspeck is the name for excess fat gained by emotional eating – specifically, the excessive eating people do in times of stress or sorrow."

So it literally refers to the _fat_ (speck) someone gains by eating while feeling _grief or sorrow_ (kummer). Except that the specific word for fat they use is the word for _animal fat_ and in some instances literally means bacon. What an interesting word.

That just means that with time more and more poor people will get online and buy their first smartphone, which obviously will be an android. That doesn’t mean google cares too much about those poor people because they don’t make google much money. iOS users on the civilised world, though...
No because we can't control cell reproduction to any significant degree compared to what happens automatically. If you're careful not to cut your skin and cause extra cell reproducing as it heals, you're still shedding your entire skin surface every few days due to natural growth and death anyway.
Two quotes from the article:

1. "the dealer is still involved and legally can’t be dis-intermediated in many states"

2. "In many cases it is a criminal offense for an auto manufacturer to sell a new car to anyone but a state-licensed car dealer"

The simple answer is that buying an automobile means dealing with a price-fixing cartel. The Internet hasn't fixed this process because it's legally sanctioned.

As a corollary, it's no wonder that even the tiny bit of competition from foreign auto makers caused the US auto industry to collapse. They'd had an oligarchy for decades, and they were utterly unprepared for anything.

Hardware support is often lagging, and some OS features are still missing that have been in other OSs for years.

those are both really vague. what doesn't work and what is missing that anyone really cares about?
We're also launching a home page redesign that's a bit glossed over in the article. One of the things we're trying hard to convey is that while Weebly certainly started out as just "Simple", it's now very powerful too.

We now offer:

* Full HTML/CSS flexibility

* A full-blown image editor inside Weebly (crop, resize, rotate, add effects, etc)

* A very powerful form builder

* HTML5 video player, slide shows and photo galleries

* E-commerce features

* Automatic mobile site conversion

* Geographically diverse datacenter-redundant hosting (for free)

* Among many, many other features as well :)
Correct. The publishers are trying to enforce scarcity, so that they can make money.

Said money redirects - eventually - into the coffers of those who are the creators.

If there is no scarcity, then there is no incentive to give creators besides your personal ethics.

Supply/Demand/Price curve. If supply is infinite, then price goes towards zero.

If price goes towards zero, then no one gets paid except by sponsors/patrons[1]. Are you sure that's the world you want writers and musicians to live in?

[1] Do you want those sponsors to control the ideology spoken by artists?
This result suggests that a limit of +4 displayed points would be equivalent to the current situation, while leaving more visual guidance about how valuable a comment is perceived to be. If you chose to do that, maybe you should color-code it instead of displaying a number, though.

FWIW: I like the comments with hidden scores better than before.
> I'm trying to come up with an explanation why TI would do that.

When I hear these kind of stories I always wonder this too. Like, who was allowed to turn this into a company policy and why on earth did they think it worth their time? Usually something that would seem to harm the public image and goodwill of the firm.

This speculation in this comment seems pretty convincing imo:

(mainly the part about legal getting into the driver seat in a semi-fossilized sort of company like TI).
Not necessarily. Fewer cars is good for the environment. But, auto manufacturing, transportation, financing and sales are a huge part of the economy.
can we stop conflating the presence of tons of bad practices in the wild with flaws in JS as a language? every language gives you ways to shoot yourself in the foot (c++ anyone?), if you choose to pull the trigger it's not the language's fault. i may not have been writing JS as long as this author (8 years to his 12) but I got over the ambiguity of `this` values 7 years ago. languages exist to provide a specific set of functionality - in this case, dynamic scope resolution - it's frustrating to see bad design choices in app code blamed on the language. vm authors are open with the optimizations they're making, just write your JS to leverage that performance gain

File a complaint with the FCC. I have done this twice now with comcast and both times somebody from their "executive support" contacted me the next day. It seems that their "executive support" might be the only people in the company that actually can solve problems and the FCC complaint is the only way I know of to get in touch with them. Clearly a very effeciient system Comcast has over there. https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us
Seems to be close to the same issues that happened in US-East a couple(?) weeks ago. They've now added cloudwatch and it seems that we can't spawn new ECS containers.
How would you suspend a company?

It would have to close all offices/manufacturing sites and fire all employees.

Suppliers and customers would have to be compensated, which would also probably result in lots of lawsuits.

It would mean bankruptcy for most companies out there.

Suspending is more or less equivalent to just shutting it down.

But yeah, a 2.5 billion fine is not much more than a slap on the wrist for a company with a revenue of 76 billion (2019).
i am strongly leaning towards that system. question is will it last 5 yrs minimum? esp., the ssd. also, it tops at 8GB, which is not a deal breaker
The site is very clean looking and it is entertaining to look at the results.

That said, there are a number of problems with this:

1. As stated by other people here, this is only from the perspective of where the tests originated, and is somewhat irrelevant once the DNS result is cached by your ISP.

2. If you are using any of a number of modern browsers, DNS will be prefetched before you even click on any link, so the DNS time from a user perspective will be zero the majority of the time.

3. The point of this was originally for choosing a good host for shared JS files. It is much more meaningful to use a distributed host with location based DNS to point you to the nearest fastest server, rather than just making the DNS request itself as fast as possible. Why do you think Google has so many servers all around the world?
This weird technology has been used for some time though, so users have already internalized good practices wrt. secure mattercoin handling.
These criticisms don't even make sense. YC is announcing that they're not expanding formally into China, which is something China very much would want them to do.
GM, Tesla and Apple are making tons of money in China now. Even Google and Facebook are making over hundreds of millions of ads money each year from China. Yes, Google and Facebook still have branches in China and make a lot of money.
A large number of these can be blocked by enabling the annoyance-blocking lists in uBlock Origin.
Would be nice if they could open source it, though I suppose it depends on Google internal frameworks and services none of us has.
I don't work for them, nor do I know any of their employees.

However, I have used their add-on and it does not work the way you described.

> Traditionally, the first program anyone writes in a given programming language is something that prints "Hello world". This doesn't work for Wuffs, for two reasons. One is that Wuffs doesn't have a string type per se. Two is that Wuffs code doesn't even have the capability to write to files directly, such as to stdout. Wuffs is a language for writing libraries, not complete programs, and the less Wuffs can do, the less Wuffs can do that is surprising (such as upload your files to the internet), even when processing untrusted input.
