This one is really tricky. You'll see this same behavior by Google, Facebook, and most other major providers. We spent a lot of time looking into this, it's unfortunately a very complex situation:

1- In theory browser language should be the perfect way to do it, in practice as often as 25% of the time or more it's set incorrectly. Unfortunately, that means a lot of people that don't speak English end up with English content.

2- There is more than just language, in several regions we are localized and not just translated. So it's important to send specific content for the region, like prices, specific local features (e.g. payment methods), specific photography to better appeal to the local audience, local user stories & articles, etc.

3- It's especially hard with English because that is, in essence, the "default" language. If your browser language is set to Spanish and you live in Germany, we'll respect that, but it's a bit harder to do with English.

We're definitely open to input on how to handle it better... One step forward would be to bring the language selector up to the top of the page so it is much more accessible.

No, its not. People have rights.
I have to assume you're referencing Apple, because otherwise, apart from maybe Lenovo, for a good quality decent price machine with at least a semblance of design attention, Dell has been pretty good for something like 8-10 years now (HP: are you listening?). Dell also has a long history of access to and enthusiasm for cutting edge components.

If however what you're lamenting is the idea that we have to look somewhere other than Apple these days, then I have to agree with you. Their lineup is truly forgettable in the above-starbucks market, tragic considering the history of the macbook. Maybe just maybe that'll change in October, but then we'll still have to deal with the iOSification of OSX to the detriment of developers. Also I'm a big mech keyboard fan and the rumoured oled bar function key replacement idea does NOT work for me unless they open source it (haha).

> The version of Allo rolling out today will store all non-incognito messages by default — a clear change from Google’s earlier statements that the app would only store messages transiently and in non-identifiable form. The records will now persist until the user actively deletes them, giving Google default access to a full history of conversations in the app. Users can also avoid the logging by using Allo’s Incognito Mode, which is still fully end-to-end encrypted and unchanged from the initial announcement.

> Like Hangouts and Gmail, Allo messages will still be encrypted between the device and Google servers, and stored on servers using encryption that leaves the messages accessible to Google’s algorithms.

Translation:

- Incognito messages will not be logged, and will be encrypted end-to-end.

- Non-incognito messages will transit over SSL, and be stored on Google's servers in an encrypted form that they will have access to (presumably this "encryption" is to prevent hackers gaining a DB dump from getting everything in plaintext).

- Non-incognito messages will be logged indefinitely, unless a user explicitly deletes them. (This is a change from what was previously announced at Google I/O)

Correct me if I'm missing something.
I've had a few people I know/trust use those and they were far from happy with them. A lot of video/battery/driver issues unfortunately
Interestingly, despite Thinkpads being the best at running Linux over the years, they never officially supported it. At some point they began cracking down on it.

At last job, we had to wipe machines back to the version of Windows that came with them in order to get Lenovo to honor the NBD support we paid for, even when it was obviously not a software glitch (displays dying or DVD drives not reading discs in any OS). We kept a couple spare hard drives around with vanilla Windows installs for this reason.

We were pretty excited when Dell started shipping their Developer models. Told Lenovo to pound sand when it came time to refresh.
Is their any layman's physics explanation of how this works? Obviously you can't transmit information, but one particle can affect the other at distance faster than the speed of light?

My sense was that quantum physics basically makes sense if you go really small and have an understanding of how the particles interact. But entanglement is weird, because somehow there's also a mechanism for them to interact at distance?

(I know, I could try to look it up, but hopefully other people here have the same silly question)
This is approaching the crux of the GPL vs BSD philosophical divide, actually. Some people say "you used my work and made money from it? You should share", while others (myself included) say "you used my work and made money from it? Awesome, great to know that you managed to make something people wanted out of it".
Not all propaganda posters were about destructing free will, some of them were also for improving the social status quo. Example: "I will be a chemist" - USRR, 1964 - http://i.imgur.com/DTMN0MY.jpg.

And I don't compare labour camps with advertising.

I compare governments ads "work harder for your country" and private ads "you look ugly, you should buy some of our makeup". Private ads are all about destroying free will too, that's exactly their point.
> Rents are already at "market rates",

Rents are at market rates given current market conditions. Increasing costs to hold property by imposing new taxes on property holders decreases supply of rental property -- that is, it reduces the quantity supplied at any given price point -- which, with a normally-shaped demand curve, decreases the quantity traded and increases the market clearing price.

Market prices aren't independent of market conditions.

> The cliché about dysfunctional people in IT is too much for me.

I hate this so, so much. I enjoyed Orphan Black but the biologist character was just such a babbling idiot that I kept having to fight the urge to fast-forward through her scenes (I have to say though, the actress that plays the clones has a pretty amazing range. Not all of the characters are great but sometime I had to remind myself that it was the same person playing all the roles).

This seems to have originated with the procedural crime dramas; the "geek tank" full of adult children that spout technobabble to eye-rolling detectives and are unable to communicate technical concepts to non-technical people. I have a few friends in research. None of them have lip rings or dreadlocks and they are all able to carry a conversation with people of diverse backgrounds and education.

Disabling the vx toggle in the bios bit me a couple times... it's just weird that a vendor would do that in the first place. Fortunately, at home I've always built my own, but laptops are so much more limited in terms of freedom.

I'm an outlier indeed, but plenty of people live or travel in countries that use languages they don't speak or prefer, and don't want find themselves redirected to websites they don't understand.

Spanish speakers (in Spain at least) tend to come from google.es, which prefers Spanish-language results, or from Spanish language links and discussions.

It is wrong behaviour to choose my language based on my location.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I fully agree. I'm just saying that it is likely their local laws would allow them to do so under the pretense of some unknown reason. It happens all the time. Personally I'm hoping something like the ACLU takes it to the Supreme Court to get the nonsense stopped.
I'm glad they're doing this.

This is why I moved our household over to the "Method" brand a few years ago (no triclosan). I'd happily move again if something else was safer, but I do enjoy foaming hand soaps.

Also why on our newborn I purchased Waterwipes (wiper + fruit juice only). They massively reduced diaper rash too compared to the Huggies branded wipes we were using before (and can be used on the face because they won't upset stomachs if consumed).

I like the FDA and am glad they exist, but feel like they were slow to act in this case. We've know for almost ten years (via peer reviewed science) that these compounds are unsafe and ineffective.

Not sure TBH, I just remember a lot of negative discussion around it and the privacy picture when it was announced. Perhaps bad on me for not doing all the due diligence when it came out but I'm generally biased against the assumption of security or privacy in online chat anyway so didn't bother going further with it.
I always install to /opt/brew and I see a few packages compile, but I see bottles being used too. Now that you mention it, I guess most software that needs to link against dynamic libraries wouldn't work from bottle unless your setup was the same as where it was compiled... hmm. I don't mind. :)

Interesting. I don't think I've heard of them, thanks!
It's probably easy to dismiss/justify some of those things when you can view the code yourself to see that nothing "bad" is happening (at least at the current time). It's a little harder to rectify Google blatantly lying about something e2e encryption even if nothing "bad" is happening with it.

Today you can buy a Dacia Sandero for 6.000 pounds. That's almost half of a Mini Cooper.

I don't think I understand it right.

My understanding is this:

1. send entangled bits to two separate locations A and B

2. determine their states (which will always be exactly opposite) on both sides

3. send data using classical means from A to B, xor'd with the quantum measurements

4. decrypt the data at B, with: data ^ quantum_measurements ^ 111111 (the last step being "invert all bits and ^ representing xor).

If that's it, how is this much better than sending block of identical entropy to A and B, and using a OTP? Theoretial tamper-proofness?

> Yes, QM is incomplete, but it places hard constraints on the space of possible completions, and none of them allow FTL communications.

This is entirely incorrect. All of the proofs about broken causality (all of which stem from special relativity, since non-relativistic QM doesn't put the speed of light on a pedestal) assume that the laws of special or general relativity hold everywhere.

What you're saying is the equivalent of claiming in 1914 that the theory of special relativity proves that physics cannot operate without an intertial reference frame.
Tesla Model S hacked by Chinese security firm from 19km away using wi-fi hotspot
I may come off as disagreeing but I question to understand. Do you have some tangible examples?
So far as I know, that's correct. There's even a handy theorem that states this pretty unequivocally!

> it is not possible for one observer, by making a measurement of a subsystem of the total state, to communicate information to another observer. The theorem is important because, in quantum mechanics, quantum entanglement is an effect by which certain widely separated events can be correlated in ways that suggest the possibility of instantaneous communication. The no-communication theorem gives conditions under which such transfer of information between two observers is impossible.

Police in the US are relatively clean. It's rare to be able to bribe your way out of a ticket. Depending on local customs, that can be commonplace. But your not going to get beaten or shot. In the US corruption like this is attendant to the high brutality level and militarization of police.
`apt` isn't that bad, really—it's been available for a year or two now, and will likely replace apt-get and friends eventually (apt-cache, dpkg, dselect, are pretty horrible user experience really). RPM hasn't been a package manager for like 10 years—now it's just a package format. `yum` and its successor `dnf` are actually fantastic package managers on Red Hat family stuff.
I (not OP) use pwsafe on macOS and iOS, a port of Password Safe [1] designed by Bruce Schneier.

It syncs the encrypted blob to iCloud, so I can pull up passwords on the iPhone if necessary. It is fairly simple, not much browser/OS integration - you just open the app, choose a safe/blob, enter the master password, and can then browse/edit your list of passwords, and in particular copy a password.

Simple, not too much functionality - not too much that can go wrong, I hope. (Often it has been the browser integration that lead to exploits in LastPass/1Pass, if I'm not mistaken)

Computing appliances produced by Apple and Lenovo are better for most developers than complicated tools like computers.
It would still make a significant difference since someone could still compromise your Dropbox account... Having a password manager doesn't all of the sudden make all of your passwords secure on all of your different accounts.

Wonderful article! As a JavaScript developer, this is the first time I have seen a well-written critique of the language shortfalls. Usually these counter-arguments can't help but feel like flame wars.

That said, I think every JS feels these pressures internally. In 2015, some were even brave enough to give it a name — "JavaScript Fatigue". I personally work with TypeScript. But each time you kickoff a new project these days, the task of getting past all the boilerplate work seems to be increasingly difficult.

Because obnoxious people will spam the form with emails that are not their own, as malicious behavior against acquaintences they detest.

These ubiquitous subscribe forms provide a vector for inflating the size of mailing lists. Mailing lists with more addresses sell for real money, and sell well.

It doesn't matter if the data is accurate. Only the perception of the data matters. The more addresses the better, the more datapoints per address, the higher the quality of data. The age and activity against the data matters.

There are reputable companies that trade on these details and pay the salaries of expensive developers.
I think this makes sense from a government revenue perspective, but I'm not sure why it would matter from a small business survival perspective since corporate taxes are taxes on profit, not revenue.

Especially given my experience: most small businesses I've worked with/for have made little to no profit. The owner takes a salary(or not, especially early on) and plows the rest of the revenue back into the business.

El Capitan (I think) added a side-by-side snapping that's handy on widescreen devices. Drag a window close to the left edge and wait, and it'll visually indicate that it's ready to snap to the left half of the screen. Do the same on the right. Really handy to do this with, say, Sublime Text (or whatever terminal, something-vim, something-emacs, Atom, VSC, etc.) and a browser.
I think that you are correct in it being a mistake, and further propose that many smaller rooms, incapable of holding more than 1/10th the total legislative body, would produce more nuanced outcomes.

Sigh.

Edit: The reason I mention this is the disappointing incongruity of announcing a project for the global, public good hidden behind a self-serving walled-garden approach to media.

Facebook Zero is a more meaningful example of this, of course.

I realize this post alone isn't a big deal, but it's part of a fabric of disconnect. One where you get the feeling that the goal of some is to ensure that FB effectively is "the world." And it's a damn shame, because from everything I hear about the people is that isn't actually the goal. But perception matters.

For most companies offloading your password management onto an email provider is the right way to go. Suddenly, for free, you get MFA, a dedicated security team, and you'll never need to do one of those "Our password database has been hacked. Here's what we're doing..." press releases.

You've eliminated one point of failure (your company), and haven't added any because you are already doing email based password resets.

You can delete all your password related stories from trello or whatever.

You eliminate all the bike shedding around how to store passwords.

You've improved your initial user experience by an order of magnitude. Everyone dreads setting up yet another account password. Don't underestimate the joy a user feels when the signup form is just "click one of these buttons or fill in the email field". (The buttons are 'Connect with Facebook' and 'Connect with Twitter').

Users would much rather flip over to email (which is always logged in anyway) and click a link (especially on a mobile device) than enter a login/password.

I just checked Facebook and Google from a newly opened "private browsing" tab and both gave me English versions.
I am transitioning to gitlab. It's had issues, but a recent version lets you put them onto a board similar to Trello. I'm waiting on a screen replacement for my primary development laptop (from China, via slow air boat apparently) to really dive into it.

But I do agree with the "getting back into it" issue. I will go weeks or months between working on a project, and this is the biggest hurdle I'm facing. Some of the suggestions here are great. I'm thinking what I may do is try to leave a single issue under "Development" on the boards and make sure it is commented well enough to pick it back up.
