Asana is listening and we've been focusing a lot on performance - it's a known problem. Hopping into Asana from external links is painful and we know it (I mean, we ourselves are extremely heavy users of Asana, so we see these things too) and are working on it. Many performance changes have already landed, and more are just around the corner, so keep an eye out for things like this to keep getting better in the near future.

If you just want to try out the environment without all the extra stuff, you'd prefer the first package over the 2nd.

At least in my experience, it's the bus itself that's unpleasant. Getting whipped side to side while the bus navigates streets it can barely fit on, loud creaking as every fastened component of the bus struggles for freedom as the structure of the bus flexes, and it's usually either too hot or too cold.

That's not a deconstructor though, which is what the GP was asking about.

As a UK resident: I know that I can only avoid logging traffic by using a vpn.

But the domain logging part bothers me the most. Does anyone here know how they will do it? Could I just use another dns server? Or will they intercept http header?

If I'm not mistaken, they could still extract the domain names from https traffic but no exact history?

Anyway, a reason more to use https everywhere, reduces sharply what they can see.

So making a political candidate seem like he said and meant things that he didn't isn't "fake"? I'm afraid your definition of what is fake and what is not is arbitrary and vague. And no, you don't get an "A" for effort with supposed fact checkers - all that matters is the final product.

Ha! That's funny. I briefly explored doing a series of interviews along these lines (too early, failures, etc) already. Good to know there's interest.
How do you personally tell if a news story is suspicious? The publication it originated in, the places where it gets syndicated, shared, and re-posted, the style of the writing, and how sensational the content is. Authors that specialize in writing fake news stories will also have an identifiable individual writing style. There are a lot of signals you can use to classify news as fake or real, and that is before going to databases like Snopes.

This is IMO a much easier problem than a lot of the NLP work for sentiment analysis and other marketing stuff that is working or being funded today. The problem is not technical, the problem is that fake news is profitable.

Looks interesting. A few questions:

- How do you handle the design process in terms of reviews/changes? Do you just present a design and if the customer doesn't like it then they're out of luck? Or will you make a million changes that drag on forever? (I presume somewhere in the middle... but this is not explained).

- Do the built sites utilize a CMS of some kind (so customers can edit content after it's been built)? Or do content changes need to go through you (as part of the monthly fee I presume)?

- On a more technical note: do you have an in-house platform you build on? Or is it all wordpress (or some other open source CMS)? Or are you re-selling a SaaS CMS like Weebly or Squarespace?

- How extensive can changes be after the site is built? Can I add new pages? What if I want to add a whole new blog section if I didn't have one before? What if I want to start selling products? etc.

The Volt isn't really an electric car, more of a hybrid - the gas engine is connected to the driveshaft, and the electric motor is only 82 hp. For a 3500 lb car, that's not much power. The Volt is IMO only marginally more "electric" than the Prius.

It is a similar experience, I'll give you that, but a LEAF (110 hp, 3300 lb) or Model S (300-700 hp, 4700 lb) will give you a much more exciting ride.
My counterpoint is that with better, more open, APIs in WKWebview we would be able extend the current engine with new, unique, functionality. I would be happy with that as a start.

The stackup is what controls the layers of a bare PCB; signal, power, ground, etc [1]. An engineer at your board supplier is likely involved in determining the stackup with the EE and PCB designer. The stackup and material selection of the bare board is one of the things that controls min/max trace width, proximity, etc. Once you have that info, you can plug it into your CAD tool of choice, for instance in Mentor Xpedition it's CES [2]. Makes things like differential pairs a lot easier.

Unfortunately, Netflix doesn't work through PIA, they apparently aggressively block IP ranges from most major VPN providers, so the issue isn't specific to PIA. This is a bit of a "screw you" to privacy-conscious people, but then again Netflix have their own issues to deal with (whether legitimate or not is a different conversation). Two things I do on occasion: have a box dedicated to watching Netflix, that isn't on a VPN (which might not help if you're trying to bypass national licensing restrictions), the other is to tunnel my connection to one of my servers through the VPN, which works fine, though it's a bit of a pain.

Basically, it'd mean the (virtually impossible) task of deprecating the non-country TLDs with X years before they stop working, and saying: "Okay, .us is managed by whatever infrastructure the USA sets up, and .uk is managed by whatever the UK sets up, etc."

So the US might choose to allow cocacola.us, while the UK might have on a grouping scheme like cocacola.co.uk, and meanwhile North Korea refuses outright or insists on cocacoala.obeys.dear.leader.nk, whatever.

Thank you for informing us about this. This gives me hope! I've seen Asana change UI multiple times in the past few years when all I want is for them to fix the following (in case you're listening):

- Performance: Lower resource usage and much faster loading of tasks from external links (like from emails).

- Get rid of the random "disconnected / reconnecting" notifications which disable the entire app for a few seconds.

- Allow adding attachments by drag-and-drop.

- Sometimes attachments don't preview till you reload the page.
We can make our tech impervious to tracking time and time again. Follow best practices, etc. It absolutely does help.

The shortfall comes in with backdooring and just getting access. There's nothing stopping a government that strongarms laws like this into law, from strongarming a company into giving access to data.
Thank you for the chuckle.
As other people have said, there are a few steps you can take to protect yourself in the near to medium term future:

1) Use Signal
2) Use Tor
3) Use a VPN
4) Reduce your digital footprint - especially if you use social media

What was once paranoid fantasy now just seems like prudence. What a time to be alive, eh?
It is not hard to see some statement about or purportedly by an organization, government office, or celebrity and then call the organization, government office, or celebrity media contact to verify that information. Anonymous sources are protected by journalists and in that case you will have to have a trust metric for the journalist writing the story.

There are a few comments in here which are claiming manual is better for fuel economy.

IMHO, the way to get better mileage is

- Drive slow

- Accelerate gently

- Look ahead and coast to slower speed instead of breaking when you need to reduce speed

- If on a motorway, trust your cruise control

- Check you tire pressure EVERY TIME you refuel.

I have an eight year old six speed auto shifter 2 litre petrol engine car.

On motorways, with hard compound tires I have regularly managed 44mpg. With softer tires I have managed 40 mpg. And I think it's down to my driving style rather than the type of gearbox.

If I had a more modern car with seven or eight speed box and modern ECU, I am sure I'd able to achieve even better mileage than stated above. Also, I'd be going mad if I had to manually chose and shift between eight ratios !!!

It seems that outside of U.S., there is some kind of social stigma attached with automatic cars. One is either a MANual shifter xor a WOMANual shifter.

Several of my friends are strong proponents of manual gearboxes. When I ask them why... I don't get to hear much stuff about gear ratios, clutch best practices, torque. It's a plain "I don't like automatic" without much real information. This preference is purely without logic or reason.

One of my such friends I noticed drives a for miles without going above third gear in situations I would have easily been turning the engine a lot slower in fifth gear.

I think drivers who have to deal with icy conditions may have a case for preferring manuals. We don't have much snow/ice where we are... just lots of rain and in that situation I am usually more paranoid about the state of my tires rather than feeling less masculine about letting my gearbox shift on it's own.

I think modern automatic shifters are better for fuel economy (and general peace of mind) than manual ones.
And now i wonder if this is a contributing factor to a certain big name DE stripping out options...
I'm not sure PAR2 really counts as erasure coding rather than a more general FEC. I've tried zfec in the past but it's not really set up for backup uses such as creating an archive to burn to a set of BD disks.

For backups, what you want to generate additional files, par2 style, which can be combined with the regular archive files (eg like in duplicity, GPG-encrypted tarballs) to repair any bitrot or lost fractions of those archives. But with zfec, as I understood it, it only works if you turn them entirely into erasure-coded shares and assume you'll lose entire shares and wind up using m-of-n shares in recovery/restoration (as opposed to PAR2 which will handle losing individual archive files but also arbitrary corruption in any of those archive files, as long as the total does not exceed the redundancy %). So you would have to do something like create a single giant archive file, and if you wanted the equivalent of 50% redundancy, you'd use zfec to turn it into '50-of-100' shares and backup the 100 shares (or do 500-of-1000 etc).

Then any shares which aren't bit-identical to get tossed out at restoration and you hope you have enough shares left to reconstruct the original giant archive file. But you might not - your shares might be mostly good but missing a few chunks, which is something a PAR2 setup could cope with (if the chunks are in the archive files, they get repaired normally, and if they're in the PAR2 redundancy, they don't matter). This is fine in the Taho-LAFS or datacenter setup where you assume your storage nodes will store perfectly or fail entirely (since given any live errors, you can just scrub the entire machine and rebuild an additional copy from the erasure-coded shares). Not so much in a backup setting.

Ultimately, while zfec is way faster than par2, I found this setup squirrely enough that I wasn't convinced to switch.
Nah, they're just extra data, that could easily go in the signature fields; it's definitely possible to add Zcash functionality to Bitcoin in a backwards compatible soft-fork.

Basically you'd have a pool of "shielded" txouts that could be spent with a zcash signature, without any requirement that a particular txout be spent for a given signature. Surpisingly easy upgrade all things considered; the main blocker is Zcash's crypto is very experimental and slow.

They also want you _doing_ something every hour of every day - and learning/studying/researching/prototyping/experimenting/refactoring/migrating doesn't count as _doing_ anything, because there's no "business driver" behind it. So you have to invent things to do because there's going to be a daily standup at 8 AM tomorrow morning where management engages in the daily "who can I fire because _I_ have to _do_ something, and firing somebody is something" ritual.
I think most of those are unsubstantiated and/or exaggerated. A common tactic of the right's demonization machine is to make a flood of false allegations; with the endless negative news, people assume some must be true if the list is long enough.

Even if true, I think DKIM validates only the sending server, not the sender, recipient, or content of the email.

There is a sandbox, but to be a competitive third-party browser you also need something else:

Safari has a special permission (entitlement) that allows it to compile JavaScript to native code. This is what their JIT does.

This is something that no third-party app has ever gotten. No JIT means slow JavaScript. No ASM.js, no WebAssembly.

I have mixed feelings about giving third-party applications (browsers) this permission. Bugs can lead to remote code execution, can lead to sandbox escapes, can lead to compromised devices.

This is a really tough one. Specially for apps that load random content from the web.
Totally. Definitely want to explore digital art as well.
This is from another article [1] about the “Yarovaya package":

> Finally, any online service (including social networks, email, or messaging services) that uses encrypted data is now required to permit the Federal Security Service (FSB) to access and read their services’ encrypted communications, including providing any encryption keys.

It is not clear from this article also if you can encrpyt the user data and keep the key. But I guess that wouldn't be along of the spirit of this law.
