> today's browsers use certificate pinning, i.e. Chrome, Firefox... have predefined lists of sites where they know which public key to expect. One example of such a site is google.com.

Yes, this may be true, but the list is quite small. You may not be able to trick Chrome into connecting to a fake google.com certificate but there's lots other "high security site[s]" as Adam Langley suggests[1] should apply when they opened this up:

> Can I get this for my site? If you run a large, high security site and want Chrome to include pins, let me know.

The reason why this list is small is because key pinning in practice is difficult — and risky. Look to comments on Twitter from Sleevi et al. as to how easy it is to shoot yourself in the foot. HPKP is a terrific idea, but has complicated implementation challenges.

User interfaces should be designed for the user, not for the operating system. I feel like more apps should embrace their uniqueness rather than aping whatever Apple/Google/whatever puts out as the "new standard" every time their design team decides to go in a new direction.

A lot of user interface design is managing user expectation (things people have gotten used to, like where a "create" button is or what a "share" icon looks like) versus optimizing for long-term usability of an app (something like Snapchat, with its seemingly-esoteric UI that is actually efficient once one is used to using it).

The only reason the author gives for taking this position is that "Participating on someone else’s operating system means you’re on their turf. The author even admits that "I’m not saying either design is superior." So app companies should forego optimizing for user experience to pay respect to the platform that they're on? This is a totally backwards position; apps should respect their users. If that means following all the OS guidelines for a sparingly used app, that's fine. But if that means creating a unique UI and app flow for long-term user happiness, then the app company owes no respect to the "local conventions" of the OS.

Another great tool is the Aegis Win7/8 cleanup kit. It'll uninstall all of the Win10 nagware that seems to make it into every OS update. It also blocks a lot of the MS phone-home hosts and removes a bunch of other spyware Microsoft has backported to Win7 and 8 from 10.

"Block 197 bad hosts, change windows update to check/notify (do not download/install), disable automatic delivery of internet explorer via windows update, disable ceip/gwx/skydrive(aka onedrive)/spynet/telemetry/wifisense, disable remote registry, disable 31 scheduled tasks, disable windows 10 download directory, remove diagtrack, sync time to ntp.org, hide/uninstall 50 kb updates (see below)."

Appreciation of art is subjective by nature, but the way we usually quantify value in our society is financial. A work that is popular will be more financially successful. A work that does not have such broad appeal but which is worth a great deal to a smaller group can also be successful. So unless you want to make some argument that art that is neither widely appreciated nor strongly appreciated by a few can still be great, I don't think the concepts you mentioned are as independent as you're suggesting.

It's good to see different world views expressed clearly, but yours is incredibly foreign to me. For me, the number of dollars that someone else with much more money than I have is willing to pay for an object has almost nothing to with its greatness as art. I instinctively react against the idea as if you were saying "How can love between two people be considered great unless one party is paying the other a large sum to stay in the relationship?"

When 'brownbat' says commercial art, I presume he means art that is created because there is known demand from those with the money to pay for it. And when you say "unless you want to make some argument that art that is neither widely appreciated nor strongly appreciated by a few can still be great", this seems like it is totally ignoring the appreciation those without the ability to pay.

Why should we allow greatness of art be defined only by those who have accumulated a surplus of money? Sure, greatness is subjective, but when it comes to art, does it possibly make sense to restrict greatness to the subset of art appreciated by the rich? I would agree that art cannot be great if it is not "strongly appreciated" by at least someone, but can't it be subjectively great for that someone even if they can't afford to pay much for it?

The difference in our world view might be that I see "appreciative but unable to pay" as the default state of the majority of the world, and thus wouldn't think of restricting great art to that which is also financially lucrative, nor quantifying it by summing the product of the audience member's degree of appreciation times ability to pay.
And that’s why you use the AOSP keyboard, not the Google spyware keyboard.
Completely agree. But there's virtually no way Symantec would turn them loose without confidence in their audit and controls around issuance processes, domain control validation, etc.

I say "virtually" as if they do, Google will drop the hammer on them (again), this time a much heavier one. It's a business risk I just don't see them taking — they have too big of a revenue base to jeopardize it this way.
Wow. I knew there was a reason I've always done all my work browsing via a tethered 4g connection and an SSH proxy.

I'm curious what protects Twilio from a race to the bottom in pricing from competitors. The barrier to entry here seems fairly low. There's Plivo, Nexmo, Tropo, Sinch, and probably others. Some of them appear to have reached near feature parity with relatively low spend.
Why is that? Is it because the tissues are exposed continuously at the same place?

They might "obviously need" this data if they want to synchronise the improvements along all your computers and devices.

Or to make the general dictionary pick up on new terms automatically and give them to other windows users.

Edit: The full quote is actually:

> We also collect your typed and handwritten words to improve character recognition and provide you with a personalized user dictionary and text completion suggestions. Some of this data is stored on your device and some is sent to Microsoft to help improve these services. You can turn the Send Microsoft info about how I write setting on or off in Settings.

Which means they don't send EVERYTHING so it's not really a keylogger (unless you also count the keyboard-helping stuff keyloggers?).

Furthermore on that link, it seems to me that the data they would be sending to their servers is the ones about the other services like speech/handwriting to feed into their system to machine-learn recognition.

And it is all turn-off'able which is a plus.

It seems like most people will assume the worst, I am not saying you're wrong but it doesn't seem like some "malware" thing like other people are saying..
Thank you, that might explain it somewhat. Although you are still blessed with a free press — and your major newspapers do appear to have reported on this issue up to 2014 — mainstream media now seems dominated by other interests. The way PiS is trying to control the public discourse is worrying; at least from an outside perspective.
Another interesting parallel, is the people who turn up on articles about renewable energy to tell you that wind power doesn't work, that it kills birds, that it uses more carbon than it saves etc. And then it becomes clear they don't believe in climate change, and that is what drives their involvement in the conversation. This then makes their opinions on how best to solve climate change a bit suspect at best.

Similarly, if you believe that racism doesn't exist or (subtly different) that some races are simply inferior and thus deserve a lowly place in society, then your list of talking points on the horrors of affirmative action ring very hollow.
Good to see this is having the opposite effect. It is likely the report never would have been brought to the public attention or garnered much interest until the Australian Gov't intervened which is now being picked up by mainstream media.
There can be a lot more to consider than just the number of comparisons (which a lot of sort algorithm texts concentrate on if they fixate on one thing) which can have an effect on which sort is better for a given circumstance.

If an exchange is very expensive then you might prefer an order of magnitude more comparisons in order to reduce the number of exchanges needed. The structure of your data makes a difference too especially if you are trying to sort in-place with little or no extra memory: an exchange by insertion is very efficient with a linked list (just rearrange the links) but can be very expensive with a fixed array (shifting the last element to the front involves moving every other element up one).

Sometimes the comparison might be rather expensive at times: if you are trying to sort data stored over many distributed nodes then you need to be careful to pick an algorithm that can constrain itself as much as possible to the local data on each node.

Concurrency can be a big issue even if not running on distributed data: some algorithms are much more "lock heavy" than others.

And even for a single threaded local only sort on modern CPUs cache use can make a big difference: an algorithm that you intuit should run quickly because it can move objects very far at each step might not be all that good because it much more rarely sees cache hits when looking at data than one that works on smaller local chunks in its inner loop.

No one method fits every use: sometimes you want an exchange class sort, sometimes insertion class, sometimes , ...

Whilst the shift-mouse is horrid, I understand the rationale.

At least make the cursor stay in the same postion when this is used, otherwise you have to keep releasing shift, moving the mouse back to the center, and pressing shift again.
Not really, it could be set up so registrar CAs would only be valid for domains they are registrars for. Then you just need to pick one trustworthy registrar for your own domains, and you're set. If you can't trust your registrar with your domains, you have bigger problems anyway.

As always, "Don't believe in money that isn't on your bank account"

Your landlord and your grocery store don't accept equity as payment. You shouldn't either. Except maybe as a neat-o bonus.
This is a good question since there are a lot of software available which can easily replace the Twilio service, so instead of monthly payments you can host it yourself for much less. I think that Twilio is doing well only with small customers as the biggest customers could save a lot by self-hosting the same service. In fact you just need to install an Asterisk or some other Softswitch and on the client side use something like the mizu webphone which has all the Twilio's capabilities like API for call, video, chat, SMS, presence and others.
What admin abilities were removed in Windows 10 Enterprise?
I mean in terms of comment useful-ness.
But superior user experience comes in no small part from familiarity within the ecosystem. Material design on iOS is alien mainly because most iOS application behave in the same way.

This is the same for Office on OSX. Since most of the OSX apps have the same look & feel, having an application that is even slightly different is jarring.

On Windows though, it seems to me that most of the applications have gone the way of re-implementing their UI. This does not make iTunes on Windows any less horrible though, but it seems like a case of broken windows theory.

One could also use the original meaning of Vaporware:

Vaporware
"Vaporware" was coined by a Microsoft engineer in 1982 to
describe the company's Xenix operating system. It became
popular among writers in the Industry as a way to
describe products they felt took too long to be released.
InfoWorld magazine editor Stewart Alsop helped popularize
it by lampooning Bill Gates with a Golden Vaporware award
for the late release of his company's first version of
Windows in 1985.

FYI, Gigster is absolutely not Upwork or Upwork-like, this is amusing misconception that all people have about Gigster.

If you're a freelancer asking for equity, you'll give up some of your payment. Gigster is not saying AFAIK: we cut some of your pay in exchange for some equity.

Again, AFAIK, Gigster is clearly saying: The more you make customers happy and engaged in your gigs, the more you will earn equity from companies of the Gigster Fund.

For a solo developer a one-time purchase model can do pretty well. 60 million+ Mac users is a big market. Speaking from experience.

A desktop app with no server component doesn't necessarily need aggressive monetisation because at a certain point it reaches feature maturity and doesn't need much more work. It sells itself while the developer works on other things.

Of course if you're looking to go beyond a "micro-isv/lifestyle" business and want huge growth it's a different sorry.
To be fair, Chrome for iOS won't ever have extensions because Apple requires all HTML rendering to be done with their web viewer (which can be embedded in other apps), meaning that Google simply can't control the rendering of the page (and thus implement the majority of chrome extensions). The app is basically just a wrapper for the same browser that Safari uses.

To me, this is more of 'how to work from your own personal office'... working from home should change the work/life balance and integrate the two more together.

Obviously, you need some separation - no kids watching tv in front of you whilst your working, etc. - but if you go too far, there's no real point to working from home unless you live too far to commute.

Maybe it depends heavily on 'why' you're working from home.

I disagree. Having a consistent UI in all available applications makes it easy for the people to use the applications. One of the main reasons I prefer OSX to Windows is that most of the applications have a set of well defined, consistent behaviours. (For example, Window decorations) On iOS there is no reason for this to be different.

The opening up on the dev side is not a signal that they've had a change of heart. It's just a ploy to stave off future irrelevance.

If their open sourcing strategy works and leads to any kind of market dominance I'm pretty confident that they'll revert to old tactics on the dev side just like before.
There's a steep learning curve but a lot of that is to do with properly grasping the conceptual underpinnings of the library. It's not a charting library, thinking of it as a charting library and it'll make little sense.

As someone who'd been making data-viz on the web for a good 8 years or so before D3 came along I had a pretty good understanding of the domain and was immediately impressed with how well D3 fitted in with the way I wanted to work. A lot of its parts were better implemented better thought out versions of ad-hoc tools I'd built up over the years.
