Yep, there are some pretty significant bugs in the site. I've been trying to upload a profile picture for 10 minutes now, one try the tab stopped responding, the second time it redirected to a 502 page.
Yup, silly it is. I made a survey of preferential by understanding term for "widget" in Russian among Russian businessmen this January, and got about 90% "pro" votes for using the borrowed English term. Practical people do not care for "purity".

In the light of these two stories, one can speculate that Feynman was mostly hired by TM to help with PR, not to produce actual work.

> hangouts' implementation of media streaming uses a plug-in.

Sort of. That's true in non-Chrome browsers. In Chrome, Hangouts uses WebRTC.

Though the Google Talk plugin that Hangouts uses in Firefox is (as I understand) used as a way of patching Firefox's WebRTC to make it behave more like Chrome's WebRTC.
I am talking about the general principle of translating a text with developed and precise terminology that is steeped in tradition for which no reference point exists in the language-of-destination. Therefore, it matters very little whether we're talking about translating ancient Chinese or Tibetan texts. The challenges are similar in scale. Case in point[1]:

"This is a major reason why the Daodejing, to take a famous example, is impenetrable to a few, enigmatic to many more, and highly allusive for everyone, and has been the subject of well over 150 translations of it in English alone."

How hard is it for games to ignore SLI entirely and simply use a second or third GPU to offload things like post-processing effects ?

Or even better, how about if you had 3 1080 Ti's and 3 monitors, could the application/game just easily assign one GPU per monitor without having to resort to using SLI (which has such a bad reputation)? This would make things so simple, want an extra monitor or two? Just add a GPU to power them. I cant imagine that the coding for something like this would be anywhere near as complicated as SLI/Crossfire.

Considering Mozilla has been planning to remove support for NPAPI plugins for well over a year and had made public announcements of such and considering Chrome has already removed such support it actually is far less uncharitable.

How much leeway should be given when they had ample notification of such breakage and had workarounds available for their own browser? I'll agree that the parent's link is a bit uncharitable, but given the circumstances it seems a bit more poignant and dismissing it entirely seems a bit much.

> Yeah, but where do you draw the line?

You can search the English NHS Choices website.

That gives calm mostly evidence based advice and lets you know when you should self care, or when you should see a doctor.

For example, here's "chest pain": http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chest-pain/Pages/Introduction.a...

It says there are a variety of causes, but it says you must never ignore it, and gives some criteria for when you should dial 911.

In England we also have NHS 111, which is a free telephone advice line. It's not as good as it could be because fo obvious reasons they're risk averse.
Interesting topic, wish the article included a bit more analysis and explanation to support itself.
> The issue at hand is that Mozilla is dropping support for plug-ins, and hangouts' implementation of media streaming uses a plug-in

Every time two systems need to integrate, the vendors always can and often do point the finger at each other. In this case, Google had since October 2015 to fix this, didn't do it, and now attributes the problem to Firefox.

Have you tried watch 4k content on Netflix? The difference is not subtle. It's not quite the same leap as DVD->Bluray, but it's not that far off. It's not so much more detail as everything seeming more in focus.

Firefox isn't just any software; the survival of the open web, and therefore open software in general (because the web is a major platform), depends in part on their marketshare.
> We are continuing to work with third party caches

One of the caches they worked with was Baidu, which has direct ties to Chinese intelligence. Just because it isn't publicly available doesn't mean people aren't still pouring over it looking for useful data.
Don't "draw the line" anywhere with chest pains.

I say this as someone who has survived PE. In my case, I had pain that was a vague persistent discomfort combined with an evolving sense of panic. I hesitated for a day but then drove myself to the hospital just in time because it had progressed in the emergency room to searing pain where I "saw stars" upon each breath. Literally the most painful experience I ever had.

When you walk into an emergency room and indicate you have chest pains, they will immediately try to assess whether or not you're having a heart attack. After that there are checks to rule out PE and you may have a CAT scan w/contrast fluid.

There are other much less dangerous things that cause chest pain... stress-induced muscle pain is one. The problem is you can't be sure until its too late. Carry health insurance and don't try to second-guess chest pain.

What percentage of jobs actually require general intelligence though? Deep learning can only do things that are relatively simple and repetitive. But that covers quite a lot. Sure, they won't be taking the jobs of programmers or doctors any time soon. But what percentage of the population can be retrained as programmers or doctors?

V8: Behind the Scenes (February Edition Feat. A Tale of TurboFan)
I want to join the NYTimes and build a "chronicle" feature. I hate how news stories develop overtime, but there is nothing to "chronicle" the story from beginning to end.

Linking to related stories is a temporary fix, but a standard timeline would be better. It should even motivate people to contribute to "follow-ups" on stories. Report what happened to the affected parties, where are they now, etc...

This is in the interest of keeping people informed and engaged. Instead of endlessly chasing "breaking news"

Take the "Oroville Dam" story for example. I would love to be able to subscribe to a timeline of updates as more unfold. A year from now, will there be a story about how the dam was fixed? How government money was spent? etc...

Or whatever happened to those girls who were locked in that guy's basement? Whatever happened to them? Where are they now?

The site seems to be struggling with load - here are the categories of works the author argues are incompatible with the ToS:

- Anything requiring attribution (e.g. CC-BY, but also BSD, …)

- Anything putting conditions on the right to “use, display and perform” the work and, worse, “reproduce” (all Copyleft [maybe minus GPL])

- Anything requiring integrity of the author’s source (e.g. LPPL)

There's a fair bit more detail on the post, but that's the gist of it.

The concerns relate to section D of the new ToS, which is here:

Who hasn't had their phone run out of battery during the day? This is the problem FITCAZE wants to solve.

Typically, battery-cases are heavy, bulky, and just plain old lame. What about portable chargers? Carrying extra gear is not convenient at all. We have created a solution that's practical, innovative and just as powerful, all while maintaining comfort and visual appeal of a regular phone case

I’m not the first one to come up with the idea of an improved battery-case, I’m just the first one to do it right.

If you can leave your feedback I'd appreciate, and if want me to release a special color, let me know ;)

It sounds good, but the cartridges apparently taste terrible: http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/17/170059/29224...

Seriously though, I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude here. The console looks promising and there's a lot to like, but it also has some potential negatives: underpowered, bad battery life, poor 3rd party support compared to Sony/Microsoft, unknown online strategy (having a separate phone app for social seems very bad).

None of those are deal breakers, but they're a little "red-flaggy".

Totally agree. My first company raised $300k and sold for between $2M and $10M. Started my second company and immediately raised $1M in a seed round. Having an exit is an excellent signal to future investors. And employees. And acquirers.

> Starting conversations around code is what Pull Requests and the GitHub Flow are all about. These feature enhancements make that collaboration even more efficient.

When did "Git Flow" become "GitHub Flow"?

Separately, anybody who's used both GitHub Enterprise and GitLab CE that they'd hands down prefer GHE? GitLab CE isn't perfect but it's so far along that the hassle of paying for something (i.e. either GitHub or GitLab enterprise versions) doesn't seem like it'd be worth any incremental improvement in product.
tl;dr excerpted:

In total, between 22 September 2016 and 18 February 2017 we now estimate based on our logs the bug was triggered 1,242,071 times.

1) we have found no evidence based on our logs that the bug was maliciously exploited before it was patched;

2) the vast majority of Cloudflare customers had no data leaked;

3) after a review of tens of thousands of pages of leaked data from search engine caches, we have found a large number of instances of leaked internal Cloudflare headers and customer cookies, but we have not found any instances of passwords, credit card numbers, or health records;

and 4) our review is ongoing.
yes.

Trump's Speech to Congress Was a Peter Thiel Fever Dream
I'd like to point out that taking exception with "the right to “reproduce your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality”" means you were probably already not using GitHub, since that literally describes what happens when someone clicks the "fork" button.

Especially given that the actual EULA text is this: "If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to access your Content through the GitHub Service, and to use, display and perform your Content, and to reproduce your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality. You may grant further rights if you adopt a license."

(There also seems an odd confusion between "illegal" and "in violation of the terms of service", which are very different things indeed, but that's less crucial to examining what the terms actually say you can, and cannot, do on GitHub)
