Nice insights!

Interesting fact on your approach: at bitmovin we do exactly that, we've our bitcodin.com encoding service and our bitdash players (www.dash-player.com), which can plug into any cloud storage, CDN, wtc., we've quite a lot interfaces and tutorials for that. We see us as kind of Stripe for video.

> parallelism, things that are now implemented in every browser but them.

No browser engine is particularly parallel. Gecko is not really more or less parallel than any other engine.
Don't get me wrong, my personal take on this is not based on anything about these 2 companies except what is exposed via press releases and news.

These days it seems to happen quite often that when I read about what's happening at Google I'm genuinely amazed. And so often when I read about what's happening at Apple I'm underwhelmed or disappointed.

Not that things can't change, but my impression is the entire core culture / trajectory of Apple will take many years to change even if they decided to start today. My hunch is they won't, and will end up paying the price for it.

considering that driverless car would make sitting in traffic less painful one can see how it can lead to even more congestion and worse traffic in peak times. Also significant majority of driverless cars would be "Uber-ed" on the cheap and thus would allow to be on the road in the car for the people who wouldn't own/use car otherwise. Plus delivery vehicles, currently limited by the number of available drivers, will be in practically unlimited number on the roads.

Let's Encrypt: Pros and cons of 90-day certificate lifetimes
There is more to running and operating a store than just selling products. This is especially true in Apple stores where they not only sell devices, but they are also service centers, and hold regular training events on Apple products. These additional functions coupled with offering 5x the number of products from a few years ago, plus the fact that Apple now has an order of magnitude more devices out in customers hands, whom are now coming back to the store to regularly get serviced, and Apple stores are really being stretched to their limits. Employees now need to know how to sell, and service all of these devices. Training staff needs to be able to teach people how to use each device. The logistics teams (each Apple store has it's own logistics team), has 25 SKUs to keep track of. Apple retail stores are not the same as your typical Walmart or Best Buy, and they can't try to operate like they are. Try visiting your local Apple Store, and let me know what the experience was like.
> what made it faster than ext3 created a lot of corner cases that make it far less reliable

That is an odd claim, considering that the ext3 implementation has been removed from the kernel this year, and various distributions have for several years already used the ext4 driver to mount ext3 filesystems.

$100k was never a budget estimate. There is a long story under the hood, but (in very short) we had to switch agency but lost a lot of money, than waisted a lot of money again on the indian offshore engineers that made shitty product that we had to remake. So $100k and a year is just an outcome. We had an angel investor who (just as we did) firmly believed in the concept and wanted the project to launch and not to be dropped on the way.
I think it is much more reasonable to have a decent fastcgi back-end for SBCL than running a full http[/2] server.

I'm having trouble with understanding the confusion that leads to the idea of doing something private, "alone with yourself", on the Web. It's kind of like, pretty much opposite by definition?

I mean, being private on-line is like setting water on fire. Yes, you can do it, but you won't be able to unless you know some pretty specialized stuff, you'll most likely hurt yourself badly if you don't have the training, and there's zero point in lighting up a lake when going sailing on holiday!

If you want to be alone with yourself, use a text editor. A native application.

Or paper.

Drone In-Flight Firmware Upgrade – 2013 [video]

No I am not concerned with who can actually purchase a Tesla. I was reiterating that because people kept bring up that in the "future" Tesla plans to expand into the lower end markets. My concern is not with what they say/will do, but with what they are doing. But my main point was:

The Article says Tesla is following a similar business model as Apple. I disagree, Tesla's business model, at least currently, is to sell expensive cars to a wealthy niche while Apple's business model was to sell computers to the middle class.

> Maybe they do in your life and then you are most likely either single, upperclass, or bad with money.

There is an Or in that statement. However if someone who earns 60 to 100k buys a Tesla, then yes they are bad with money.

Yea you're right in a lot of Sci-Fi it is represented as such. I guess I was thinking of how much they gloss over the the fact that a majority of the population is poor af or things like the Prometheus Award, which includes some very good books.

Yes there is a certain aspect of libertarianism that both touches on something true and is attractive, but so does communism. Not that that means libertarianism is wrong it is just similar to communism that way, but I think it is wrong for the reasons I stated. Also Karl Marx offered many good critiques of capitalism.
We started with $150, as far as I can remeber than went down. The higher the price, the more important is the brand component OR bespoke experience in the luxury offline environment. We did work with ateliers that sold our jeans for $300, but a) the volume was still low and b) we were only getting our $99 out of the each pair. Besides, when you go for real bespoke, people tend to be much more picky → more returns and alterations as a result.
Sorry. It was part of a point I wanted to make about how hard it would be to make Firefox have the features that Servo will offer, like tiled rendering or parallel layout, which is a step further from merely getting to parity with Chrome and Safari architecture-wise.
As a long time Firefox user and enthusiast neither sponsored tiles nor the phone thingy annoyed me to much, especially the tiles thingy could actually have reduced the dependency on Google if it had worked.

Now we know they got another search deal but that wasn't always a given.
"Not that things can't change, but my impression is the entire core culture / trajectory of Apple will take many years to change even if they decided to start today."

You are aware they are the most valuable company in the world? I'd say they are probably hoping that trajectory doesn't change...
"Pushed hard", since the feature made it all the way to production versions which rolled out to every firefox user. This is a significant business decision which can change people's perception towards Mozilla. It definitely did for me. It IS a big deal that a popular browser supports some obscure 3rd party service as primary bookmarking service when there are many other 3rd party bookmarking services in the market such as Instapaper.
It's not that impractical. It is how traffic is quoted when renting space in a datacenter.
Are you using Markdown to generate those HTML files?
One logical explanation why it wasn't made an extension is if somebody was planning on neutering the extensions already back then. :-/
ok. use chrome -> search via google -> google ads. Still indirectly making money from it, thus a profit motive in advertising for it. My point still stands.

And I do doubt thats the only thing they profit from by people using chrome.
In general, that's probably the right decision. But I also think that using police records for personal purposes is different from browsing Facebook at work.

One only damages the employer slightly, the other has huge potential issues against society at large. The CFAA is not the correct solution for this issue, but none the less, I think such behavior should be a criminal matter.
Can you give me a quote for a hundred man-year supply of it? Preferably in a tasteless, soluble form, so I can add it to their lunch.
If you ran a survey to every firefox user asking "Would you prefer this Pocket bookmarklet show up by default or not", I'm sure this wouldn't have been a "vocal minority" group. Most people (in terms of ratio) hadn't heard of Pocket and to them it's just a spammy new bookmarklet. Most people are not "vocal" about it because they don't know where to complain. Just because you don't see vocal people doesn't mean it's all fine.

Author neglects to consider that carpool lanes could (and should) be converted to "self-driving only", as a phased approach to increasing capacity.

Second step, make controlled-access highways driverless-only. It's not necessary to upgrade /every/ vehicle to self-driving to start getting benefits, the change can happen one lane at a time.
> since the feature made it all the way to production versions which rolled out to every firefox user

...like most other features. Doesn't require pushing. That's how it works.

> obscure 3rd party service

Apparently it was a rather popular addon in Firefox?
but driverless cars would make the actual 'sitting' obsolete, or at least a much more rare occurrence.
I'd say it is interesting, so the votes indicate "hey, more people should see this", but it is pretty straightforward what it is and means, so not much to discuss?
Great news !
"relatively small"

The library takes half a megabyte under archlinux:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/librsvg/

It also requires a 1.2 megabyte css parsing library: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libcroco/

And of course also a 8.8 MB xml parsing library: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libxml2/

Now compare this with libpng:

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libpng/

half a megabyte and the only real dependency is zlib, which is also in the dependency tree of librsvg
I've seen a lot of people mention using rlwrap with sbcl. I'm a bit curious about how people actually do the development with that.

Do you use the repl to simply (load ...) files; never doing anything interactively with it? When I'm using emacs+slime I constantly write small loops/functions in the repl for testing, but doing that with rlwrap feels pretty painful to me. Do you have some sort of scratch-file that you write those in, which you can easily load?

At least to me the debugger feels pretty horrible to use without slime. How do you usually fix/redifine functions when debugging a problem? How about stepping through code? Making sense of the compiler notes/errors must also be pretty annoying without having them highlighted in your editor?
> I suspect that software made and sold within a given country would not be subject to this restriction.

Unless it is "software owned by a person of another Party".

Which has the defacto effect of making it impossible to require such provisions domestically because all you'd need to do to circumvent it would be to transfer ownership to a suitable shell company and/or because domestic companies would justifiably be upset at being subject to harsher rules than foreign companies.
Will they actually pay Apple in trucks full of coins this time?
This is a HUGE problem. Addressing even a small part of it would net a fortune. Yes, others are already working on it. Yes, I know it will be difficult. That's what makes it exciting, right?

> The court also ruled that the government cannot hold people criminally liable on the basis of purely fantastical statements they make online—i.e., thoughtcrime.

I think this is the bigger news here.
This is true, but the correct response would probably be to criminalise abuse of police records specifically, rather than criminalising general organisation policy breaches.
That's why I believe we should stop talking about whole ideologies, because all of them - libertarianism, communism, reaction, etc. - are nonsense if you take them wholesale. But each has some good ideas, each appeared as a response to particular problems. So instead of buying into politics wholesale, we should ask ourselves whether or not e.g. free market, or top-down management, or voting, is the best way to approach a particular problem - building a power plant, ensuring access to health services for everyone, figuring out which foods should be imported, etc.

This is an interesting concept, but I don't see the point of the lack of a board. The key elements appear to me to be the drawing of and placement of pieces. The lack of a board just seems like it will lead to confusion in practice. It wouldn't be an issue in a tournament at a slower time control, but it would in casual games, even between top players, as pieces get accidentally nudged or slightly misplaced.
Statistical Machine Learning from Data
I totally get it. Sounds like a crazy prediction.

Introduction to RAML – The RESTful API Modeling Language
So we don't need to worry about climate change then?

http://www.pnas.org/content/105/Supplement_1/11543/F2.large....

Cows produce methane. Here is methane breakdown of U.S. http://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/gases/ch4.htm...

Cars produce mostly CO2, here's breakdown: http://www3.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/gases/co2.htm...

That "Cow farts cause climate change as much as cars" stuff is PETA propaganda. I've seen as high as "52% of all carbon emissions result from meat consumption". Then I read the actual paper and "We are double counting all these numbers because of moral hazard of eating meat. Lying is OK if you do it for good cause."

The 18% share was calculated by combining the direct effect of methane, then counting in some estimation of deforestation. It is true that Amazon rain forests end up as pasture, but that's not necessarily the biggest reason why they cut down the forest. They first try to grow some plants on it, but as the fertility goes down it's only good as pasture anymore. If you want to go from 18% to 8% you only need to stop increasing meat consumption. But that doesn't necessarily work if the driver of deforestation turns out to be something else.
Not any more useless than any other (non-checksumming) filesystem.
Exactly. This would have been on a roadmap somewhere.
Herbalife, Is It Worth It?
As far as I can tell, that's pretty much all you've got. Given the heavy concentration this library seems to place on converting static navigation to dynamic, my surmise is that, instead of responding to a navigation link with an entire HTML document, it just responds with the content that document would contain in the response object's "body" member, with content fragments organized by the ID of the element they're meant to populate. View changes seem to be supported by sending the appropriate template fragments in the "head", "title", and optionally "foot" members of the response JSON object.

More complex state transitions such as form submissions appear to be provided for in the second argument of the spf.navigate method, which can take an object including a POST method specification and the corresponding data. It looks like that's about all the library provides in terms of request flexibility; per the code, setting custom request headers on navigation requests is definitely unavailable, but it doesn't do anything to override the default behavior by which XHR passes on e.g. Authorization headers already set by client code, so (in conjunction with e.g. OAuth) you'd be able to identify and authenticate the user making the request. I guess the idea is that, for the purpose the library's meant to answer, what it provides in the URI is just about all the information the server should need on what content to include in the response.
Pros and Cons of Getting Startup Venture Capital
To reduce the outrageous amount of resources we pour into inefficient modes of transportation like single-passenger vehicles?
They took away the status bar because it was superfluous (really they were just copying chrome) and then they integrate a third party extension into the browser.

It sure seems to me it was pushed hard.
Yes, and you asking the question managed to be enough for me to diagnose the issue, thanks.
nah, I would expect people to complain about puzzles being too easy, too hard, ugly graphics, nice retro style etc.

I am with grandparent in guessing people are mostly playing :)
> What are we left with? Not much really. In terms of time savings and safety, autonomous vehicles will not be a disruptive innovation to urban transport systems

Strongly disagree with the professor here. I'm not saying they will fix all our problems, and wont bring some new ones in addition, but to insinuate that driverless cars will not have a disruptive impact on safety and time saving leads me to question the authors understanding of autonomous vehicles.

Actually there are several other "facts" that author states that I disagree with, or that are separate from autonomous vehicles.

I think this stuff is certainly important to evaluate and weigh the pros and cons, and I agree its not going to be a silver bullet for all our problems, but this reads like a wonk who doesn't believe the internet will ever go anywhere.

In addition, who knows what additional technological or social changes take place that would impact how, when and why we travel.

TL;DR: author's magic 8-ball needs another shake.
Well yea, but I think the high minded discussion is good as well. Its not that any one country will ever be X or Y ideology, but having good guiding principles helps to make sound judgements.

I have studied each of the modern ideologies a bit, and Modern Liberalism is a good blend of both Libertarianism and Socialism. Rawls is a good source if you're interested in perusing, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rawls

I have to say tho, I see a pretty heavy trend towards libertarianism. Particularly among my peers in the Bay Area and their idols. I find it pretty annoying because they are the pinnacle of privilege and have embraced a ideology that alleviates their "guilt".
I think in that case setting the CSP sandbox header to "allow-scripts" would have the same effect as the iframe sandbox attribute and allow script execution in the SVG but prevent same-origin access and various other things.

What you call negativity is people that care.

Most companies in the world couldn't dream of customers that care that deeply about the product. That doesn't mean you shouldn't take unpopular decisions when necessary, but it means you have to be deeply in contact with what your users care about.

Apparently Firefox users didn't care much for commercials in the browsers. Who knew?
"Valle was also charged with violating the CFAA for accessing a police database to look up information about people without a valid law enforcement purpose, in violation of NYPD policy."

I find it odd that the prosecutors decided to go with a computer fraud charge for this crime, aren't there any laws that would prohibit this action regardless of method used? If he chose to lookup paper files on unrelated people, would he be immune to prosecution?
