I don't think it's quite as nefarious as that.

Essentially, I believe Google and a subset of their industry competitors (other ad networks) have two goals here:

1. to stem the losses imposed by 100% ad/tracking blockers, by providing a default blocker that deals with very obnoxious ads that might prompt average users to install one of the existing ad blockers.

2. to reduce their need to pay protection money to AdBlock plus etc.

So, if you happen to be using ads that are overly obnoxious (popups, autoplaying videos, etc) then yeah, your message is basically what they're saying, but not because it's non-google, just because it's making the other ad networks look bad.

I don't know how they'll implement it technically, but the fact that they are not talking about the WebKit-style content blocking using compiled pattern lists means they probably have little interest in benefitting end-users (webkit content blockers give better privacy, performance, battery life etc, compared to traditional "run this code every time a website loads" blockers)

The thing I haven't figured out yet is whether this is the brake engaged when you shift an automatic transmission into park, or if it is the emergency brake. If the latter, I'm not sure what the big deal is, since you should almost never use the e-brake.
> I could be wrong, but that probably won't scale so well.

This is an extremely common, routine even, thing that happens in the automotive industry. Every make and model of car has recalls from time to time, for issues just as minor as this. It scales.
From personal experience of doing a bunch of interviews and surveys over the years, after about 6, you'll start hearing patterns. If you are new to the subject you are researching, doing some reading and talking to about six people will get you to a point where you'll be able to evolve the questions you are capable of asking, or formulate hypotheses for testing.

"How To Measure Anything" has a great chapter on how talking to only a few people can reduce uncertainty with a pretty amazing accuracy, but I don't have a copy handy.
.PSD certainly not. Why would it?

But .AI has originally been PostScript and currently is PDF. Pretty much in the same way as Inkscape uses SVG as its native format – application-specific things are encoded as additional data on objects which can (usually) be safely ignored by other applications rendering the same file format.
Haha same here. I'm a TN-1 Software Engineer. I was told at LAX one time that the guy didn't like TNs and would send me to secondary. Talked him down eventually and gave him the papers he wanted but automatic is quite the overstatement. Definitely get a NEXUS card if you can.
"Tesla Recommends Parking Break Update"
Diet soda consumption linked to stroke and dementia
> fabricating a headline to knock down is pretty brazen.

Parent's "quote" was just a paraphrase. Calling it a fabrication is a bit much, don't you think?

Anyway, it deserves a knock down, IMO, because the first instinct when reading it is that there is an issue with the breaks that people most commonly use. Using the parking break isn't nearly as common or frequent as the regular breaks. Simply adding "parking" into the headline would have made it far less sensational and far more accurate.

Part of this is that W3C standards are created separately from each other. But SVG 2 actually included a lot of work for harmonising SVG ways of doing things with CSS ways of doing things (in those cases it was often CSS doing something differently that has existed in SVG before, though). There's pretty much not a single web technology that isn't plagued by such problems, as much of it came to be as some browser experimenting, others eventually following suit, and only then being standardised.

The expense of one's outlay to Amazon is not a persuasive statistic. It only shows that you have a lot of incentive to keep confirmation bias in gear.

AWS is specifically designed to maximize instance count (that is, cost). The reason "devops" has exploded since EC2 hit critical mass is that before EC2, people were reasonable with the number of servers they needed. With EC2, it's all water, and it's so easy to press "create instance" that people just do it without thinking, and wonder how they ended up paying Amazon $100k/mo for something that used to cost them $5k/mo.

I'm engaged on a project now that has similar figures to what you've quoted here. It could be done with less than two dozen bare-metal servers. I know because it was done with less than two dozen bare-metal servers before someone in the C suite felt left out and suggested some "modernization" via the cloud.

I think that cloud zealots are mostly people who were either deathly afraid of sysadmin or people who were cutting their teeth as cloud got hyped, because there's no way any competent person who was doing this type of stuff before 2008-2009 can pretend that Amazon is not laughing all the way to the bank.

This is not to say that cloud has no advantages or that its use is always inappropriate, but what you're describing is pure fantasy. Yes, a small team of coders should be more than capable of managing the servers that they need, especially if they are renting dedicated boxes from a professional datacenter facility that handles hardware swaps and similar failures for them.
Virtual Math Lab for Complex Functions in Python
The BBC headline is sensationalist and deserves being critiqued for being click-bait. Makes it sound like tens of thousands of people could potentially drive around with not-working brakes, while the actual issue is pretty minor and just related to the parking brake.
Any slightly complicated indexing of array in numpy is a pain. I've spent hours reading the numpy documentation for indexing. After that project I've completely forgotten how to do indexing in numpy. I expect I'll spend more hours reading the same documentation if I ever go back to numpy. Compared to Matlab, it is ridiculously complicated.
When you talk about people dying for science is it Marie Curie and the radiation poisoning, or Nazi's testing hypothermia? One is someone boldly (of her own volition) pushing the bounds of science, the other is an oppressive group performing horrendous experiments. Perhaps cancer patients on the verge of death opting for a potentially life extending drug?

When humans test on humans (in modern societies where things haven't gone horribly awry), care is given as to whether it's safe for the individual and would help them. Consent is a big word you'd never hear in an animal study. Animal testing is weighed against what benefits "science" in some way and some sort of "unnecessarily cruel" metric which doesn't seem to account for much. Anecdotally, my girl friend is a neuroscientist and has heard about things going on in labs that would make your skin crawl. One study that came to mind is on rats defending their territory based on how much food they were given, led to rats basically ripping each-other apart on camera.

We say these things are okay, and important, but when I think that almost 13,000 animals were killed, beagles, cats, monkeys, rats, just so we could have splenda, I think that whatever we value non-human life at must be so trivially small.
4.47$ shipping, and it's not even next day? Pass! /s
Ok, that wouldn’t scale at all! But I imagine that if sales of that car increase in your country, then Tesla would build a service center there to save money. At this (small) scale, it’s probably cheaper to ship and fix than it is to staff up a service center.
Are they planning to build out a full dealership network for their more consumer oriented stuff or are they still sticking with their direct-to-consumer model?
Also, they know precisely which customers were shipped which packs, so they can easily email the affected customers and tell them not to use the packs. There's no need to build a DRM system to lock out packs that have been flagged.
Regarding your edit. I imagine the downvotes are in response to the hand-wringing statement about people who don’t have secure jobs being unable to get their cars fixed. This isn’t different from any other car that gets recalled. And recalls happen all the time across the industry.

I don’t know the answer to that. All signs point toward maintaining the direct-to-consumer model. But that doesn’t preclude them building out a service-center network. The sales can be direct, but the service can be local.

If you have to go without your car for several days at a time - unlike other manufacturers - that's common for Tesla right now, that'd be a bigger problem for people who don't have access to a car otherwise. Or for Tesla to buy everyone rentals every time a situation like that happens.

It's the parking brake, not the transmission in park.

Though commonly called an e-brake, the parking brake is actually intended to be used when parking, especially when parking on a hill.

What I had in mind were the people who volunteered for experimental medical procedures. Transplants, blood transfusions, neurosurgery, skin grafts, etc. The techniques were only perfected through the suffering and death of a vast number of nameless people.

> Animal testing is weighed against what benefits us in even the slightest way and is some sort of "unnecessarily cruel" metric.

> We say these things are okay, and important, but when I think that almost 13,000 animals were killed, beagles, cats, monkeys, rats, just so we could have splenda, I think that whatever we value non-human life at must be so trivially small.

That is a deeply philosophical argument. We can obviously agree that -- all things being equal -- a human's life is worth more than an animal's life. But exactly how much more valuable is it? Can we accurately quantify how many mice can die so one human can live? Does it depend on the animal and its intelligence, at least as we perceive it? The questions can go on and on with no end in sight.

Now, I'm honestly not intimately familiar with what goes in the life sciences, particularly when it comes to experimenting on live subjects. Nonetheless, I am convinced that modern ethical standards are a good way to set universal limits to what can be done to animals in a laboratory setting, while also ensuring that we as humans benefit from the results. The alternatives would be either to delay the discovery of new procedures because we don't want to hurt animals, or to just experiment on humans directly. Neither of these sounds like a better option to me.

Being a software dev myself, I understand that you could spend another year (hell, even 2-3 years) completely hashing out every minute detail.

I won't do that :) I stopped working on the spec the moment I handed it down to coders, and my total time spent on the spec since then is around one week. When the spec is written well, and you simulated all important situations in your head before encountering them in the wild, you actually don't need much extra time.

There's almost no tinkering happens on the app right now. I'm fixing critical bugs and smoothing out rough details that manifested after months of my dogfooding.

Regarding the desktop solutions: yes, going native would be perfect, but that is not feasible for a 4-man team. We'll go with Electron or Xamarin or, less likely, Qt - we haven't decided on the exact technology yet.

> Tesla has to repair 53.000 cars, this is in itself newsworthy

You're right, that would be very newsworthy! Of course, it's not true, which I think rather supports my point about the headline.

(If you read the article, the number of repairs needed is actually only ~1k, because only 2% of the 53k cars actually has a faulty gear that needs replacement. The recall is for 53k cars because they don't know which 2% has the issue, so the headline is technically true, but there's a big difference between "Tesla shipped 53k defective cars" and "Tesla shipped 1k defective cars". The former is much more newsworthy! But also false.)

Pretty soon with the birth of JSON everyone stopped using eval() because of obvious security concerns (eval is evil) and JSON parsers before JSON.parse() were doing the heavy lifting handwritten in JS.

That was also the time when XML/XHTML on the web wasn't as disregarded as today. Browsers are XML parsing software. They exposed JS Interfaces for these XML parsers. And a query interface. And the DOM. Etc.

My thesis: The data to send mostly matches a tree of structs and arrays and values which we use in programming languages. XML is not the perfect vessel for that, it's better used as a document format. XML of course was misused as a configuration format in the decade before, leading to the backlash.
Yea--and there's a lot of Master's, and budding Ph.D's who put animals through hell just to get that spinish behind their name.

My last goth girlfriend was one of them. She went to this little university in Missouri. Forget the name. She so wanted to be called a Docter.

She spent a year picking up rodents(not just rats)--holding them in her right hand, and then smashing their heads in a granite slab.

Me, while in bed, "Why couldn't they at least anesthetise the animals before smashing their heads?" Her, "Oh, it would mess with the toxicology." Me, "Let's not talk about it."

She never finished her Masters. She moved to San Francisco, became goth, and partied. She racked up a huge amount of debt. She said there's so many wanna be researchers, and so many cruel experiments done by graduate students. She said they were repeating know experiments just to get that degree.

She then told me about a orthopedic researcher who took a bunch of pigs, and put them in the back of a pickup. He attached a sheet of plywood over the bed. He then went four wheeling. He then documented the orthopedic injuries that these animals substained.

I didn't want to talk about this, put their should be more oversight in all animals in "research". Especially, at the smaller colleges that are just taking in money, and producing degreed students. Right now there's colleges, even high schools, and community colleges that are using animals in research.

Real research--fine. Research just to get a degree--not fine.

She became very liberal once out of college, but she still told people she had a Ph.D in neurobiology. She so wanted to be that person,and have that pretentious title--she would flat out lie? And she told me, I'm the one that needed therapy? When she aged, the liberalness went away. Now--she's just angry.
