What I would like to know if how much of this tracking is not blocked by installing something like Spybot's Anti-Beacon (https://www.safer-networking.org/spybot-anti-beacon/) and using a Local Account. If all it takes is to install a similar tool when I buy a new machine, it's not a big deal. There are many other tools I need to install anyway (winrar, etc).
Last time I checked you could turn off the wifi scanning, easily.

As for the "deep integration", I believe that just means they configured the screen-off hotword (which uses the Qualcomm hexagon adsp).
As if Sanders is putting up proposals that are even remotely feasible.
Is that necessarily contradictory, though? It seems quite likely that the North Koreans opposed the Japanese to get rid of the oppressor rather than for ideological reasons. They could quite easily have internalized the ideology of their enemy while they were fighting them.
I'm always wary of articles that try to support their point by showing some ridiculous correlations. It's very easy to look at thousands of correlations and select the few most ridiculous, ignoring the vast amount of them that maybe make sense. Suddenly it seems like statistics are irrelevant and we cannot trust anything. I suppose that nobody is free from personal bias since even Fisher, yes the great statistician, rejected correlation between smoking and lung cancer as a spurious correlation (look up in Wikipedia)

CyanogenMod is the "canonical" generic Android distribution, while Cyanogen OS is a derivative created for monetization purposes and installed by default on some devices.
I wondered what the driver was for this as well. I can see 2 main reasons- 1) narrow pedestrian streets and unpaved paths were probably easier to navigate with two wheels and

If that is to be believed, it would seem that Snapchat is spectacularly poor in their design and planning efforts. Can you imagine Toyota discarding 99% of their R&D?

Solid analysis, your guess makes a lot of sense IMO. I suspect that these kinds of "breaches" take place far more often than is reported -- I think until people are better educated about the importance of using unique passwords for their individual online accounts, it's an uphill battle.
It's more of a practical problem: if you're trying to deport someone forcibly, they still need to go through immigration in the country they're being deported to, and you need to establish somehow which country to deport them to without their cooperation. This has caused problems for some European deportations. I believe at the moment Mexico accepts US deportees, but they don't have to make it easy for the US to dump a load of people at the border saying "these guys look Mexican, you can have them back".

Anyway, it contravenes the 14th Amendment.

(The EU has article 8 instead, which means that in practice you have to deport a whole family or not at all).

Surely it's far worse if they contracted it out as then this is the results of people who they bought in on the basis of their web design. If it was in house then there's an excuse of sorts.
Microsoft doesn't have the monopoly it once did with the proliferation of tablets and such. Anti-competitive behavior is fine as long as it isn't monopolistic. Every browser on iOS is a UI on top of the mobile Safari engine - the equivalent of Windows only allowing IE and browser skins - but that type of anti-competitive behavior is OK because Apple only controls 30% of the mobile devices and its users choose to buy into said anti-competitive environments.

What you're saying is true, but in the context of CAs, it's still important to be able to distinguish real public suffixes from regular authority delegations for subdomains. CAs need to be able to filter and block CSRs for wildcard names like *.co.uk or something similar. This also applies to things like cookie scopes in browsers. Currently, the Public Suffix List is your best bet here.

The Dbound WG[1] is working towards a standardized solution that doesn't require enumeration in a centralized list but rather works through DNS records. This should eventually replace the PSL, although I suspect most use cases will still rely on some kind of preload list (similar to HSTS) in addition to that.

The Effects of Parallax Scrolling on User Experience in Web Design
The real reason why IPv6 has been so slow to get deployed is precisely that you can not just take an IPv4-using program and network, fix all the structs and API calls, and have an IPv6 program. This is a sideshow compared to the real problem. IPv6 is profoundly different in all sorts of ways. Yes, if you just want to open a TCP connection to a remote system you can use an IPv6 address instead of an IPv4 address and the resulting socket is usually essentially identical (it isn't necessarily but the differences often don't matter for the simple common case), but almost everything else changes. "DHCP" changes. Vast new rules about all the classes of IPv6 addresses, and all network hardware needs to implement new code to handle all that. IPv6 addresses are much more complicated than IPv4 addresses.

In fact probably most of the people reading this only think they know what an IPv6 address is... based on my experience with people who think they know what IPv6 is, most are wrong. Do you know what the "link local" portion of the address is off the top of your head? Do you know what an % sign in the IPv6 address signifies? (This being HN, of course a few thousand of you do; you don't need to prove that in a reply. But I bet the majority of people reading this do not.)

Just look at this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address

By contrast, I can't link you to the "Wikipedia page on IPv4 addresses", because it doesn't rate its own page. It just gets rolled into a single section on the IPv4 page in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4#Addressing

And that's just addresses. There's huge swathes of other changes that require huge amounts of new code to be added to all network devices.

IPv6 isn't a failure (inasmuch as we really should have been done by now) because it requires a total upgrade of all network devices. Probably the vast bulk of critical devices have been upgraded in the time since IPv6 was first standardized. IPv6 was a failure because it also immensely complicated the network protocol and code did not just have to be "slightly modified" to work, but torn down and replaced with a much larger and more complicated chunk of code. IPv6 is not "just" IPv4 with bigger addresses. IPv6 doesn't fail to interoperate with IPv4 because of trivial networking issues, IPv6 fails to interoperate with IPv4 because it's a wildly different network stack that happens to offer similar enough TCP-like abstractions that user-level code often is only slightly affected, but everything else in the stack is profoundly affected.

The advantage of the "just extend it" plan is that it would have been that easy. Perhaps a judicious application of a few solutions to the worst IPv4 problems could have been added. But IPv6 is the technical equivalent of an appropriations bill in the US Congress. We have to do this, so let's take this opportunity to stuff every wish-list item in there we can. We didn't have to do that.

In a way, the article does a better job defending DJB's thesis than attacking it, precisely by pointing out that DJB's plan would have been relatively easy and feasible....

There are plenty of nice minor improvements in the release notes. One of my favorites is "Allow array_agg() and ARRAY() to take arrays as inputs (Ali Akbar, Tom Lane)", it will come in handy when writing ad hoc queries to understand stored data. Right now I have to build a string which I use as input to array_agg().
I did notice that Windows 10 often messes with my firewall rules. I had a custom firewall rule to keep a port open. Windows deleted the rule when upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and deleted it again during a recent Windows update.

Your 10 Mbps connection is far from being a given.

Here's a different perspective: I live in a small city close to a major metropolis in Germany. It's small, but far from being at the end of the world.

My only internet options are

a) 1 Mbps DSL (yes, those are Megabits) uncapped or

b) about 25 Mbps (100 in theory) LTE with with a 30 GB cap.

After that cap I'm throttled down to 64 kbps (not joking, this is dial up basically). I can buy additional 30 GB of data at 15€. That's on top of the 45€ base price for the first 30GB.

Yes, it really matters.

Having TRACON work with three towers instead of two doesn't sound any more difficult. I thought that the towers mostly just took already-sequenced traffic from TRACON and landed them, and handed departing traffic off to TRACON once they left the runway. As for fewer sets of runways, that sounds harder to me, not easier, since you have more traffic coming into the airport and that traffic has to be sequenced and deconflicted with all the other traffic coming into that particular airport.

I could be wrong on this, my interactions with ATC are limited to occasionally listening to DCA tower while watching the planes land, and every so often being the point of contact to call the local TRACON to notify them of our glider operations.

Hudson's Bay Confirms $250M Acquisition of Gilt Groupe
I'm a language learner myself, and I also frequent various reddit language subreddits and read all the stories of other people.

My belief is that "don't have time" usually means "I've lost motivation after the initial high". A huge problem with language learning is that unless you have moved to another country or otherwise in an immersive environment then it becomes quite difficult to keep motivation and discipline high. The reward of "I can read/write/speak/listen a little better than last month" starts to pale and people realize they actually don't use their new skill on a regular basis. And like many things, getting to the next proficiency level takes increasing amounts of work. The flip side being that for X weeks of study less and less progress seems to be made.

What I'm getting at is that this churn is not a problem with your product, but a broad problem with language learning. Anything you can do to solve (or lessen) these problem is a big, uncertain task. But it's probably the only way to reduce churn. The upside is that if you do manage to make headway then you've done something major. Really major.

>> to write all your business logic in Oracle PLSQL.

I've noticed this (all logic in the db) is common among those developing financial applications. Also .net ms sql server seems to favor it as well. Maybe because they overlap. It's not an inherently bad thing to put business logic in the db; auditing and logging can be simpler, and change control can be more tightly enforced. Be aware that as a developer, it's really common to eschew things not in your code, and check your prejudices. Are they well founded?

I find that Spack in fact takes very little inspiration from functional package managers, Nix and GNU Guix. Dependencies are specified in a loose fashion which, on one hand, gives a lot of flexibility, but on the other hand is detrimental to reproducibility.

More importantly, part of the dependency graph, including compilers, is treated specially and essentialy considered outside of the scope of Spack. This seriously hinders reproducibility, as we tried to explain in https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01161771/en .

Is that difference how people would actually understand the word? I've never (knowingly) heard it used like that. Certainly terms like "CPU utilization" and "network utilization" are frequently used to denote a simple use-divided-by-capacity ratio.

For your game example, I don't see what isn't encompassed by "speed" (how many FPS you get out) or "efficiency" (how much CPU/GPU you use to do it).

Between Windows privacy craziness and Apple's continuing lockdown of OSX (I think that System Integrity Protection augurs an iOS-like walled-garden future for OSX), I recently switched all of my OSX/Windows/Ubuntu systems to Arch Linux; it takes some tweaking and setup and a bit of command line hacking, but it's really awesome to have all my machines doing my bidding -- I tell them what to run, when/what to update, and I'm in control of synchronizing settings/files between them.

With Windows/OSX (and Ubuntu to a lesser degree, which I'd used previously), you can only kind of hope that it does what you want, and when it doesn't work, you kind of bang on it a bit to try and get it to change its behavior. All the while, the computer is doing a large number of things you don't really want it to do (what are all these processes? why is it connecting to x.y.domain.net? what data is it sending? why does it insist on trying to get me to log in to XXCloudY? I don't want to use that), but which you're kind of powerless to stop (aside from e.g. blocking connections with another physical network device), even if you knew what was happening. But you don't.
This is such an obvious example of the divide to conquer strategy which is still alive and well in the region. Iran Contra revealed the MIC was selling weapons to both Iran and Iraq at the same time.

Profit from endless weapons sales, profit from cheap oil, and keep the dollar strong by only selling the oil for the dollar. 3 birds with one stone.

And now here we are, oil is cheaper than it has been since the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the dollar is more valuable than it has been in decades (relative to other currencies) all the while the instability in the middle east continues to increase.

When you started using Gmail or ChromeOS, you started with understanding, that you are using a browser and everything happens pretty much on Google servers.

When you started using Windows, it was pretty much offline affair. Many people were connected to internet only occasionally, if at all.

So basically, Gmail/ChromeOS was adding something to your options - you have a new service, you can decide whether you can start using it - or not. Windows is taking away from you - you were using it for years, maybe decades, most of the world is dependent on it, and suddenly, the rules of the game change and you cannot do anything about it.

The way Google Translate works, which is actually explained pretty nicely by Google statement quoted in this article, makes this a non-story in my opinion. Whether by an intentional attack (somehow flooding the Google corpus [the whole indexed web in a given language?] with biased texts) or a statistical mishap, this is ultimately fairly uninteresting when you realize that: no, no one at Google "snuck" this in there.

In the attack scenario, if there were details as to how someone pulled off a Google-bomb style attack, that would be kind of fun and interesting. Otherwise, there's not much to say.
