> Europe is much better at this than the US.

By Europe, I think you mean 3 or 4 countries in all of Europe. Most countries in Europe entirely fail at what you're claiming and most are embarrassingly behind the US on: innovation, productivity, median incomes, unemployment, global & domestic corporate competitiveness, research spending (both public and private).

I wasn't aware that Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Belarus, Lithuania, Romania, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Bulgaria, Moldova, Serbia, etc. had such stellar economies, that functioned at a high level with excellent competition and dynamism.

The majority of nations in Europe are backwards, poor (often extremely poor), mediocre at competition, with terrible median incomes, terrible median household net worth levels, perpetual unemployment problems, and very stagnant innovation within their economies. The results - among the nations I listed for example - when it comes to GDP per capita, median incomes, unemployment, exports, etc. all speak very loudly.

Many of the nicer countries in Europe, have rigid economic systems that are narrow industry dependent, non-innovative and stagnant. That includes Norway, Denmark and Finland (which is trying to crawl out of a ten year near-depression, and is heavily dependent on ancient industries like paper production). France has had a stagnant economy for decades with hyper low growth, rigid is an understatement there; if they grow median wages at 1/4th the rate of the US, it's considered a good outcome.

Germany would be in the middle of a ten year recession, were they not free riding on their Euro neighbors when it comes to benefiting from an artificially cheap currency (cheap for them).

Europe is not better than the US at facilitating competition, a very select few countries in Europe may be (Sweden for one). Europe is overwhelmingly dominated by dynastic corporations, handed down through the generations (Europe overall has a far worse stagnant dynastic wealth score than the US), and have almost entirely failed to keep pace with the US when it comes to spurring very successful new companies in the last 30 or 40 years. That proof is in how far behind nearly all (not all, nearly all) European nations are in rapid innovation fields like software, Internet, mobile, AI, biotech, robotics, VR/AR, etc.

But feel free to list all the amazing Internet, biotech, robotics, AI, Mobile, etc. firms in the highly dynamic & competitive Russia or Greek or Spanish or Polish markets.

If I was wrong, the results, the economic standing, for all those nations I listed, wouldn't be so horrible. Poland wouldn't have a $13k GDP per capita; Russia's median income wouldn't be 1/5th that of the US; Spain wouldn't have 20% unemployment (still); Bulgaria wouldn't have a median income that's nearly at third world levels; and so on.
I stopped taking the author seriously when I saw that he was using ListView. Maybe that's a factor of poor documentation, but there's no reason to use ListView (and the are many reasons not too).

I'll admit there are issues with Android, but reducing them to the same tired arguments against Java is just lazy (and lack of config files?).

Have you 'reported the bugs'?
If you're jumping off Unroll.me, first log into unroll.me via your Google Login. Go to settings, turn off everything (like the ad tracking) and then delete your account. It's at the bottom of the page in light grey. They'll ask why you're deleting. I'd suggest choosing "privacy".

After, that head into Google > Account > "Connected Apps & Sites" > Manage Apps -- and then explicitly remove Unroll.me there too.

Don't do the reverse as the Google Access is needed to log in and delete the Unroll-side data*

* Assuming they delete anything, but still worth doing.
They can do better.. yet they still haven't updated their FAQ. You'd think that at the very least, before trying publicly trying to cover their asses, they'd at least do the bare minimum and write SOMETHING about it on the FAQ. Why even link to the FAQ from the blog post if you haven't touched it yet?

Don't say you're going to do something going forward, DO IT.
Sad but not surprising. When we created illumos in 2010, the latest version of Linux was 2.6.35, and it did not have an answer to ZFS, DTrace, or Zones. I thought these features were important enough to compete with Linux, and convince people to switch.

Times have changed, and Linux (now at 4.10) now does have an answer to each of these, particularly:

- ZFS: ZFS on Linux, now part of Ubuntu. btrfs has been coming along as well, and I included a couple of btrfs performance analysis screenshots in my DockerCon talk last week, since we're testing it.

- DTrace: enhanced BPF now provides the raw features (as of Linux 4.9), and is merged in the Linux kernel (unlike SystemTap etc).

If illumos were proposed today, I would not get behind it as I no longer think it makes sense when you're comparing it to Linux 4.10. It's no longer 2010.

Good luck to everyone moving on. I've published a lot on debugging and tracing on Linux, which should be helpful.

I guess you have a point. Thanks for your comment (and recommendations).
That makes sense. I was not aware of that so thank you for pointing it out.
Let's be honest, pretty clear that Google is already selling your anonymized data (actually, I think it's their data according to the TOS you agreed to). And giving your un-anonymized data to the government. Eww.

There's no reason to get up in arms here... there's no such thing as privacy -- whenever you use a free service, you are the product being sold.
Wouldn't it just be better for them to come out and say:

"We were mining your emails for profit and tried to hide that in our marketing and brand. We will continue to mine your emails if you want to use our free service, but we'll be more upfront about it in the future."

Why bother trying to act sincerely apologetic? I'd be more sympathetic to them if they would just bluntly state what they want to do.
I'd like that if I upload a png, then get a png as the final. Sometimes jpg have artifact with graphics.

Also, the final image has no extension. That's slightly annoying in windows.

Not really disagreeing with you because I don't think the business model has been proven yet. Neither company is profitable and both are still powered by fat stacks of venture capital. How the unit economics will pan out once that wears off isn't clear to me yet.

It's also not that black and white as the Lyft team built Zimride (2007) prior to starting Lyft before Uber existed (2009). Even with that Uber focused on the high end market at the start while Lyft focused on the budget market.
Sorry for the late reply, but a moderator changed the title when we saw this earlier.

> the legal system should refuse to enforce that

What you're asking for is the opposite is the opposite of what you're stating the problem is. The courts doing nothing but enforcing contracts is expected.

Asking for the courts to step in to say "while legal this isn't right and won't be enforced" is asking for 'more reach' by the courts.
True, but the site guidelines also say "If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."

If you want to understand what the implications are you need to spend time not with technologists but with ecologists. In nature there is a reason the apex predator doesn't evolve predatory advantages at a faster rate than its prey evolves defensive advantages. These rates grow or shrink in lockstep depending on resource availability. If they don't the ecosystem collapses.

Spelling is useful but I don't understand how competitive spelling is useful. Most of my spelling errors are because of accidentally hitting the wrong key or a weird auto-correct so knowing how to spell every word wouldn't really even meaningfully reduce spelling errors for me
My first job was in 2005 writing a TSDB abstraction over sql server used for BI with defense.

we merged ~30Gb of data per night in about 8hrs on a 32core machine which was severly limited by a platter SAN. We would get about 1 disk failure /6months.

So do u need an actual TSDB? Or are other companies doing what we did?
If you upvote/favorite enough comments & stories, you will observe a few recurring usernames. It would be good to have a view/feed of their stories & comments. For that matter, since favorites are public, it would be useful to see analytics based on favorited comments & stories.
> Definitely feels like Phase III of the Internet has begun to me.

I knew it wouldn't be that semantic web babble nonsense. I really hope it is the realization that infosec is important and we become closer to real engineers that factor in risk. My only fear is that it results in more useless regulatory oversight with marginal ROI.

The recent controls put on zero day sales are a good example. They will do nothing to prevent the proliferation of malware and only punish honest companies helping to secure systems with practical attacks.

It's like how the city I live in (Toronto) just enacted another round of rent control to deal with a lack of affordable housing. Rent control makes people happy by seeming to address the problem but ultimately historically has always resulted in less development of affordable housing by disincentivizing investment rather than helping developers build more buildings cheaper, by reducing red tape.

This is what we need to do with security research. Stop villianizing researching exploits and sending innocent kids to jail and start paying them good money for their (often profitless) energy expenditure.
For all the people asking "Why not Crystal?". It seems to me like the creator obtained a copy of the Go Interpreter book(https://interpreterbook.com/). Seems like a fair bit of the code is reused here. Nothing wrong with that at all (if true). After all its all under MIT License. Seems like a pet project more than something the author expected to gain any attention (kind of like Linux started out). Seems to me more like a ruby-like-coffeescript equivalent for Go.

Because OpenGL is a dumpster fire of conflicting information for a beginner. I've been looking for a decent opengl book for years, in vain. DirectX 9 was sort of the sweet spot, where the technology stabilized for a few years at something decent. Nonetheless, aside from dumping the useful parts of d3dx, DirectX 11 is a lot friendlier to work with.

As someone with a startup that heavily leverages Gmail OAuth, this kind of thing is upsetting because it causes folks to lose trust in the technology. Google is partly at fault here though. There should be an audit trail visible to users so that they can see every time a third-party service downloads a message or an attachment. There should also be more granular scopes so that folks can, for example, authorize access to only email threads with certain labels, including the built-in labels. (E.g. only personal email or only commercial email.)

It would also be nice if there were a way for folks with the gmail ID of a thread to download the parsed thread/attachments from Google, with a special scope designed for this. (So that services can get the entire DKIM-validated thread by just letting users copy an address, forward the last message, or via a plugin.)

I spent over a week writing our TOS, privacy policy, and security page, but privacy laws and the underlying technology should be sane enough by default that people shouldn't need to feel like they need to closely parse every word before signing up.

This is super nice and much simpler than all of the other software I've been using to cobble together work logging + time tracking + invoicing this past year. After trying Toggl, Harvest, and everything else I totally understand why you built it.

The only changes I'd like to see are: allowing one to log the time work is started (not just the date), a confirmation before deleting data that can't be recovered, and a way to filter the hours charts by day / week / date range.
It's just SO MUCH MORE FUN to drive a stick-shift. Even if all you're doing is getting on the interstate you can make it feel like you're really kickin' ass and zooming along simply by how you shift.
