A 4 mile trip is definitely not very long. In Chicago, a fairly dense city (for the US), that would hardly get you across the central core where many many people cannot afford to live.

I have what I consider a fairly easy bicycle commute which is double that.
Not OP but I do some of these things with KeePass as well.

For autofill, KeeFox works well for me on Firefox - there's probably something similar for Chrome. I think KeePass will do autotype if you right-click on an entry but it's not a feature that I really use so I'm not sure.

I store my password DB in my home folder and use syncthing to synchronize it to my other computers and my phone.

I don't know about iOS but I use KeePassDroid on Android and it works pretty well.
So what you're saying is that browsers already allow limited things like push notifications to happen silently without user consent, and this API just exposes the budget/cost for those actions? I'm not up-to-date on the background APIs that browsers expose, but this quote from the Google doc seems to be at odds with what you're saying, if I understand it correctly:

"The Push Messaging API enables us to send notifications to a user even when the browser is closed. [...] but the API has one important restriction: you must always display a notification for every single push message recieved."

And later:

"The Budget API, is a new API designed to allow developers to perform limited background work without notifying the user, such as silent push or performing a background fetch."

Edit: Reading through the spec more closely, it appears you are correct in that this is already happening on the browser side, and that this API just exposes the budgeting details to the developer. The Google Developer page's wording is just somewhat misleading. Thanks for the clarification.
It's fun that the authors readily admit that the idea is for paranoid people.

It's also windy and rainy.

The South Bay area where I grew up has incredibly good geography/weather for biking, and yet bike rates are an order of magnitude below Dutch cities.
I think it should be shorter than an hour -- 10km is 6.25mi. I can easily walk at a 4 mph clip for a long time without getting sweaty or tired. 10km on a flat bike path should not take more than 25-30 min. Maybe add 5 min for traffic lights if there are many.
That's (a bit) clearer. I hadn't seen that.

I think the entire airport experience is a mess and one of the few things I can think of that's actually worse than 20 yrs ago. If you guys gain deep knowledge about their process and can then make it more efficient via technology, it would be huge.

Good luck.
It's not that it's free, but having to carry around another device is a hassle.
Why do you assume sociopaths just want to pick on individuals? There are ambitious sociopaths that draw up plans for things like ethnic cleansing, genocide and so forth. We have abundant examples of such behavior within recent history.

I think your concept of sociopathy qua serial killer is uninformed and stereotypical. Most sociopaths are not stabby weirdos blinded by hatred, they're just self-centred people with different levels of emotional affect/susceptibility than the general population.

It seems not to have occurred to you that (depending on record quality) a database like this would be great resource with which to find and recruit sociopaths of various stripes.
In all of the responses you've gotten so far, people seem to be caught up on the colloquialisms we employ when referring to ethnicities, such as "white" or "black".
Bicycles work just fine in rain! And if it's unsafe to ride a bike on the roads due to snow, it's probably significantly more unsafe to drive a x,000 pound vehicle.

Thirded! I've been building out all my Debian boxes with ZFS root (and everywhere) for a year or more. Not only does this require installing via debootstrap, but there are some subtle things that have to be done just so or the system won't boot. Stretch improves this over Jessie, but it's still clearly not a first order citizen.

Like with non-free firmware, and other such things, I get the licensing and taint issues, but it would be good to see this evolve and be supported in the installer, someday, if only on a "forked" installer like with non-free firmware.

I would argue that whiteness's non-ethnicity is a learned and enforced behavior in society.

It's accepted/understood because it's an intentional outcome of an intentional policy.

There USED to be a white culture, white ethnicity, white everything. (One only needs to experience American history to understand the centuries long history of white identity in America).

But due to heritage of political white supremacy, we decided to destroy ALL white identity, ALL white culture, ALL white "ethnicity", as a "baby with the bath water" approach to ending white supremacy.

I think this is why people have this disconnect between "ethnicity" and "whiteness". In this thread.

OF COURSE there is a white ethnicity, but, we Americans destroyed white identity intentionally to destroy white supremacy.
I don't think black or Hispanic are really enthicities either. They're racial categories.

I think black men suffer some of the same brain damage as white men.

Women with masculine personality traits probably suffer it in some conditions too. If it's real, it's a fuzzy cluster around men, not a strict aspect of manhood only.

Related: This legally mandated "leak" happened years ago, and it even included signatures. Most of the citizens pushing for the recall of a sitting republican governor were democrats, so it seemed like punishment for a Republican state assembly to pass this one-off policy.

The first thing many employers see when they search for politically active democrats is this information, paired with "quick searches" of their names on criminal, pedophile and dangerous persons databases.

Having up to date Android and iOS zero days plus the rootkit / RAT software is not something you can get open source or find easily commercially.

There's a reason this company is charging hundreds of thousands of dollars to target only 10s of phones...

I wouldn't downplay the gatekeeper aspect of these companies and the technical investment it takes for non technical governments to do this stuff.

But generally I agree that attempting to control it via the tools is a bad idea or merely putting the blame on the tools is missing the bigger picture. Plus limiting zero day sales will only harm legitimate security research and encourage unrealistic pen testing.

Mexico's government is the primary issue here. They have a serious human rights abuse issue at various layers of government.

But that said if we're going to try to protect these people from abusive government tactics, since it happens in secrecy and their 'self-regulation' totally fails to stop abuse (even in the US), then there is some value on pushing back against these more sophisticated companies that sell the high end tools that are harder to detect. Since it is a niche market at the moment and a niche expensive skillset... Unlike guns in the US that will be everywhere regardless of gun control, since it's the biggest gun exporter and gun ownership rate in the world, we can hold these companies to a higher degree of responsibility.

Eventually though it will have to come down to holding the governments responsible and pushing back by protecting our software.

The fact NSO has publicly said they will continue to sell to Mexico despite the clear evidence here that they are not following their stated policy of only targeting cartels, criminals, and terrorists... Then clearly they are shady as hell and their stated policy is bullshit.

NSO is hardly without fault here. Unlike the AK47 analogy used in this article which are sold once and then the manufacturer loses control of how its used, this exploitation software needs to be updated with new zero days, new RAT software for new iOS/Android versions, and support/training staff. NSO has chosen to continue offering these services so they are just as much liable as far as I'm concerned.
What do you think of content rich distros like Endless OS (Linux aimed at end users with a lot of offline content)?

I'm thinking of ditching the phone line and scavenging in local cafes/public buildings, so yes, weekly access to reasonable speed connection. Tethered mobile connection for emergency email/rdp access.
> In the near future, the client and the agent will have a Lyft-like experience on arrival or departure, where our agent sees the customer information on their agent app, and the customer sees the agent information on their customer app.

That's not going to happen without a data connection on the customer's phone though, which means either expensive roaming, buying a SIM card before they meet the agent, or fighting through crappy airport Wi-Fi sign-up pages. You could potentially partner with the airport Wi-Fi and have your application authenticate them to the Wi-Fi network automatically though. Do you have any other thoughts on how to solve the data problem?
If I understand things correctly, gumbo in html5-parser was forked from https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/sigil-gumbo/ at 0830e1145fe08758d6ef24f77dfcbeac4633676f, which in turn was forked from https://github.com/vmg/gumbo-parser/tree/v1.0.0 which was forked from google/gumbo-parser, pre google/gumbo-parser 0.9.4.

There's quite a few changes on the original upstream since then. gumbo_malloc -> gumbo_parser_allocate, free_node -> destroy_node, passing around the parser as an argument, &c.
If men were more susceptible in a statistically significant way they would have called it out at least as a "further research needed" because it opens the door for future resource allocation. If women were more susceptible in a statistically significant way they wouldn't have framed the discussion so negatively in terms of CEOs and world leaders but instead framed it as a health issue because doing anything else in most academic settings is being needlessly reckless and unprofessional.

Since there's no mention whatsoever I'm betting there was no meaningful difference or the test group wasn't big enough to investigate the possibility of said difference.
I doubt the phenomenon you are trying to describe is at all unique to the people who would usually be called white.

In China, ethnic Chinese probably feel the same way compared to immigrants or people of other heritage. Or ethnically Japanese people in Japan. Or Saudis in Saudi Arabia compared to minorities there.

In other words, there is a certain power inherent to being part of the dominant ethnic or cultural group in every human society.

(Although, still need to see research demonstrating membership in these dominant groups leads to same degree of empathy atrophy as the research in the article demonstrates for high status individuals like CEOs.)
FYI I'm not sure what you've assumed about me, but I am a developer, and I treat accessibility just as seriously as all the other must-have requirements, and my team makes it work on budget and on time.

Just because you need to build an accessible website doesn't mean it can't be secure and scalable too.

I'm not sure where you've layered in all these constraints I never brought up (perhaps projecting from your own situation?) but it goes without saying that all aspects of a project need to be properly scoped and planned and given the correct amount of time to be built, and need to be done by people who know what they're doing.

If you just see accessibility as "yet another thing I need to do that I don't have time for", then maybe you just need a better job?

Anything longer than 30 minutes each way is probably beyond what many people would like to spend commuting. So, that's about 4-7 miles (depending on variety of conditions). Which, I gotta say, is not very far for most Americans. Most of us commute around 15 miles each way.

Indicating "white" may not have been best term to use for the phenomenon he or she was trying to describe.
No, orthogonal to your point :)

The temperature was only around 23c. In the same temperature in Melbourne, they dry in an hour or two.
I think what you are getting at with "'white' is not an ethnicity" is that in post WW II United States culture, white is the default ethnicity. Earlier, say in pre WW I USA, white Anglo-Saxon Protestant was the default, and Irish, Italian, Eastern European, Catholics, were the "other" discriminated aganst and looked down on by those of default ethnicity. (Note that these are over-generalizations that might not be true for any particular individual).
> The famously flat Dutch terrain, combined with densely-populated areas, mean that most journeys are of short duration and not too difficult to complete.

> Few Dutch people don lycra to get out on their bike, preferring to ride to work, the shops or the pub in whatever clothes they think appropriate for their final destination.

> Of course, the cycle paths lend themselves to sauntering along in summer dresses in a way a death-defying, white-knuckle ride in rush-hour traffic does not. It is also partly because of this that people don't need showers at work to be able to commute by bike - it's a no-sweat experience.

So, reading with some context clues, the answer is "not long enough to work up a sweat."
Length does play a role but I would definitely trade the 15% grade and 300ft climb at the end of my 4mi trip in the Oakland hills for an extra 3-4 mile of flat/gentle rolling terrain.
Why not say not specified or none as opposed to white? It seems needlessly confusing.
Thanks! You're spot on about the difference between us and Clear. It sounds like you had a tiring customs experience on your trip from Rome to the USA!

It wasn't easy to launch in 500 airports. Through a ton of research and work, we were able to partner with many companies and individuals who had the appropriate access at each airport. The key for us was that we wanted to create the one trusted, consistent place book this service.
I have found the lxml API in python leaks a considerable amount of memory, but that was while going through a large amount of data though (Wikipedia dump). This is in contrast to a handful of pages. But that was a while ago, it may be different now.
"The article seems biased: it pathologizes power."

Nope. It just claims power lessens people's capacity for empathy.
It does mention that:

The problem in the US is, in no small part, due to zoning. I've been making my way through this:

http://amzn.to/2tkSbsH - "Zoned in the USA"

And the detailed look at how other countries do things is interesting - they're certainly no "libertopia", but far more typologies of housing are allowed, as well as commercial uses in primarily residential areas.

It's worth a look for those who are deeply interested in the topic.

I actually have quite a collection of articles about this stuff, as it's been one of my main interests lately:

Coffee under threat – Will it taste worse as the planet warms?
Of course Apple is doubling down on Metal. So much of the future of their platform depends on it e.g. ARKit, CoreML. And so having that rest on top of a core technology that (a) they don't control and (b) isn't optimised for their hardware is a mistake.

The better option is to provide a Vulkan/OpenGL shim instead.
Bike infrastructure in most countries is generally very bad compared to car infrastructure, or even walking infrastructure. This leads to not many people cycling, which gives you a chicken and egg problem: few cyclists mean little political support for biking.

For cars in the US it's the opposite: even when major cities get big enough to where cars clearly aren't scaling well anymore, cities are often reluctant to refactor car space for walking, biking, or transit, because a majority of current travelers go by car.
> How do you get proportional representation with single-member districts without involving party lists somehow (as in e.g. MMP)?

It's hard if you keep single-member districts, though there are possibilitie: (e.g., assign seats to parties based on share first-preference votes across all districts, with all the same handling of minimum thresholds, etc, you would apply in party list proportional, and then elect specific candidates from the by-district elections as follows:

- If a parties total number of allocated seats is equal to the number of candidates they have remaining in districts where no candidate has been elected, elect all of those candidates.

- Otherwise, elect the candidate from the party whose currently-elected # of candidates is the smallest fraction of their allocated seats (breaking ties in favor of the largest absolute deficit) who has the greatest share of the vote in the district in which they competed.

- Repeat until all allocated seats are filled.

Voilà: all the partisan proportionality of party-list proportional, with candidates elected from single-member districts, with candidate centered voting, and no party lists.

I think practically STV or a similar system in small multimember districts (about 5 members per district) is probably a better balance of proportionality and individual candidate accountability (and results in more people having a candidate that is both local and politically acceptable than most other systems), and STV of course can scale to any level of proportionality at the expense of greater number of candidates and larger districts.

Party lists provide an easy route to partisan proportionality but eliminate direct accountability to the general electorate of individual representatives. Ideally, I think, you want both proportionality and individual accountability to the general electorate.

Dunno, I used to ride the bycicle to the school in the city which is 25km away from where I lived. So 50km (31 miles) a day at least. In the village where I grew up that was pretty common.
If it's 20km round trip that's not too bad. 20km each way is a bit much.

Yes, since I wrote html5-parser for use in calibre (i.e. to parse the HTML in e-books), sigil-gumbo is a more appropriate upstream for me.

I have no objectsion to merging in changes from gumbo-parser that are not in sigil-gumbo over time, but it will need to be done gradually, as there is only so much time I can devote to html5-parser now that it meets the needs of calibre.

The (unconscious) ideology is so strong that publishing "Why aren't all cities optimized for public transport plus cycling?" would be considered too edgy.
I'm hoping for a possible future in which there is massive rezoning in the U.S. so that mixed neighborhoods (residential, business, etc) within reason, like bodegas and offices and apartments and row houses together, not cement plants next to kindergartens, are universal. I just bloody hate driving and the less I have to do it the happier I am. Would rather be outside getting exercise.
1. Right, that's what I meant; the file and directory names aren't encrypted, which probably reveals which sites you have an account on. Sorry for the confusion.

2. Is that really auto-fill though? Seems more like KeePass's auto-type. I meant like a browser extension that knows what site you're on and fills in the appropriate username/password combo automatically.

4. Cool, that looks like a decent solution for auto-typing. I hadn't heard of that before. Linux-only though from what I can tell, so it won't work for me in the general case.

KeePass has built-in password history too, but I do really like the idea of using git for that; that's one of the reasons why I'm interested in pass.
The people who made those predictions? Current Facebook investors.
There are some interesting attempts at these protocols but most of them rely on multiple powered devices, not induction powered smartcards which inherently adds delay and not necessarily predictable delay.

No one has a proven system for doing this in today's smartcards to my knowledge. Though there is some research which promises this may be possible in the future.

Even those proximity car locks do a horrible job of distance bounding - many of them do it off RF level which means an attacker merely needs an amplifier to steal your car - and that offers an almost optimal situation for the application. So I think we'll probably see it there before smart cards. Maybe the timers necessary make this cost prohibitive though. I'm not in a position to say one way or the other.

Can't that be solved by passing these types around under the hood, but allowing the language to sugar them out when they are known? I thought this kind of half-erasure was how some languages already operated on runtimes that erase generics.
