Hopefully there will be more browsers/engines than just 2-3 large ones. I know that will make web dev difficult, but it will encourage the most innovation online.

I'm sick of having to choose between either Firefox, Edge, or a thousand Chrome knockoffs. There needs to be more diversity.
Why use the quotes? My guess is if the personb you're replying to thought of what Mozilla is proposing in the same way you think of it, they would have said so.
Just this weekend I retired my old Macbook and switched my dev environment to an Asus flipbook and preemptible VM's on google cloud. For offline work I boot linux from a usb-c flashdrive. Getting my VPNs working and eliminating Ctrl+w from my workflow was the hardest part.

Google has created the full ecosystem (phone, laptop, apps) to compete against the MS and Apple stacks. It's still a rougher experience, but for me, it has crossed the good enough threshold.
And if the person you ordered from fails to send you the item? Or sends you a defective item? Or if someone steals my info and spends my cash?

Credit cards act as an escrow service to protect against all of those things. Cash (and its online equivalent) has a place in the world, but so do credit cards.
They might be measuring the "average used car", not the "average used car for sale." So immediately after you buy the car, it becomes a used car (or maybe a year after, not clear from the article).
This is missing PyonR, which is Python as a Racket #lang.

On the flip side, I'm not sure that PythonNet should count, as it "uses a standard CPython runtime".

Ha, I think your friend is right :) The size of that list just goes to show there isn't a "one size fits all" backup solution out there. SpiderOak is my sweet spot but YMMV.

> The American Revolution isn't nearly as clear cut as that.

This is an entirely legitimate statement.

> ...now it is Britain freeloading on American military spending.

...but this you're really going to have to back up. Can you point to a specific example and explain why it's 'freeloading'?
> 1. More often than not, it's not something nefarious or convoluted, but something very simple. 2. A lot of the things Google does are for the protection of the users themselves (whether from themselves or from outside forces).

I recently had an issue where a hijacker, from another country, was able to take over my account and change the password, without access to the backup email, the SMS, or anything except the password.

Google even mailed me a warning that this user from another country was accessing the account, and changing the password.

When I tried to get it restored – I knew the phone number (but had no access anymore because the number was reassigned to another person), had the old password, access to backup email, knew the content of emails on the account, etc – I was denied.

It was easier to get the user who got my old number, contact them, and go together with them through all the steps to get the account back.

To top it even off, after I had contacted Google support about this originally, they never contacted me back – instead, once I recovered the account, I found that instead they had talked with the hijacker.

And you tell me this was to protect me? Honestly, fuck that.

Okay, so if you try to connect to news.ycombinator.com and instead get connected to a random MITM attacker who then connects to the real news.ycombinator.com and proxies your traffic, you're fine with that?

Right. Why would I trust ycombinator.com more than the MITMer? I have zero actual experience with YC, so any information I give them is by definition information I would give to an untrusted party.
Authentication would only solve one type of fraud (using someone elses credit card). What about when you buy something online and the seller doesn't send you the item? Or sends you a broken item? What is a service breaks their contract with you?

There are lots of kinds of fraud that aren't identity based.

There is in fact no real debate about what's required for an RNG to be suitable for security purpose. The standard for security is cryptographic. To design a new secure RNG, you effectively need to design a new cryptographic primitive (most likely, a new native stream cipher).

There may indeed be some debate about the requirements for non-security numerical analysis applications.

Most development platforms should be defaulting to secure random number generators, and most developers should be reaching for secure random number generators as their default choice. Neither PCG nor xorshiro128 are examples of these.

Firefox for Android has a setting to disable web fonts (Settings/Advanced/Show web fonts).

Regular Firefox has the about:config parameter gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled that allows disabling webfonts. To solve the problems this article presents, you could also just change gfx.downloadable_fonts.fallback_delay to something shorter than 3000 (though that won't help with hinting).

Chrome apparently has (or had) a command line flag to disable web fonts, or you can use extensions. I'm not sure if it's possible on mobile Chrome.

As far as gambling goes it's probably one of the more fun ways to spend the money - instead of camping out at a blackjack table some would rather watch the 24 price changes.

Which is fine if you have the money to spend (waste). But people are getting sold on it like a penny-stock scheme straight out of Wolf of Wall Street.

What classic Porsche is selling for $30M?

* Even Steve McQueen's 917K only sold for $14.08M the other day.

* A 956 with five LeMans wins sold for $10.12M.

* The L&M sponsored 917/10 sold for $5.83M.

* A RS60 Spyder with an amazing pedigree sold for $5.40M.

* Jerry Seinfeld's 550 Spyder sold for $5.33M.

* Paul Newman's 935 sold for $4.84M.

... and the list falls from there. As usual, the most valuable Porsches have pedigree as winning race cars. Even the rarest road-going Porsches (959 Sports) I believe are all worth under $2M (save for wacky stuff like the flat-8 904), and only until recently (past 10-15 years) have Porsches really appreciated in value.

Google's IPO auction famously just scraped the low-end of its estimate (after the range was revised down). It "popped" 18% on its first day of trading which - at very best - shows that dutch auction is no better than underwriting.

> Insurance is mandatory in the states too. But that doesn't mean people never drive uninsured, I'm sure it's the same in the EU. What happens if an uninsured driver hits you? You pay the bill entirely out of your own pocket with no repercussions for the uninsured?

It depends on the level of insurance you have. If you have "third-party" insurance (the legal minimum), then that doesn't cover any of your costs. Comprehensive insurance is more common which will cover all your costs (excluding an excess), however the insurance company will treat it as a "at fault" claim for you and you may lose any no claims bonus you have. The person who caused the accident will then generally get prosecuted for driving without insurance.

Does it have something to do with QE?

Car leases commonly rely on some expected value at the end of the lease. Even when it is some relatively down played value then this information means that it would become even lower.

This should also then mean that the lease should become more expensive.

Eventually lack of information should cancel itself out.
Likely they’ll just ban your account for some "vulnerability abuse" or "hacking", even though they themselves said just days ago "this is not a vulnerability".

I’ve seen it before, reported a vulnerability to Google, got a "not a vulnerability, not eligible for anything" back, published the PoC on my website, and Google subsequently blacklisted my domain, IP range, and everything.
Well, you can probably get about 50 weeks* of that if you sign up now. *expected TTL of this product before it gets discontinued

There are no rules against dumping limitless amounts of CO2 into the air, how is none too much?

The RNN seems to agree with the most popular fan theory about what will happen with Jaime and Cersei. So, it's not entirely crazy.

> Similar for "Assistant", though a bit less so.

> Company <very common term> though, is hard to pull off.

I think when <very common term> actually describes what the service does, it's an entirely different story. If I say I'm using Google assistant to map a route for me, or answer some search terms, even if there isn't a marketing campaign that's pervasive enough to seed the service name in my memory and the memory of those I am talking to, there's a high likelihood they know or can figure out what I'm talking about. There's only so much room for people to remember service names like that and expect them to be ubiquitous. I would much rather they be called Apple/Amazon/Google assistant so I didn't need to know them. It's not like there's a high chance of me using Siri or Alexa any time soon, since I don't own any devices that provide them. I don't use Cortana because why bother, I only have that for my desktop/laptop, and I can just as easily (if not more easily) search with text generally.

Z3 and similar tools use a combination of canonicalization followed by brute force search. The canonicalization uses techniques similar to what the OP describes. (+ a (+ b c)) and (+ c (+ b a)) are both rewritten as (+ a b c). These rewrites rely on pattern matching.

At this point, if the query is syntactically solvable, we are done. Often queries are not, so the solver uses a symbolic decision procedure. The specific decision procedure depends on the formula. For example, Linear Integer Arithmetic (which allows addition of variables and multiplication by only constants) can be solved using Simplex.

We see similar rates of "non compliance" in countries with free or low cost medication.

We see similar rates of non compliance for severe life threatening conditions (many transplanted organs fail because people don't take the meds) and for less severe conditions.
When do clock hands overlap? – Numberphile [video]
It really depends on a lot of things (do you have a chip terminal? If not, are you a gas merchant and based in the US, and the total transaction is under $50? Are you enrolled in 3D Secure? Are you on the Full Fraud Recourse list?...etc.)

How you answer those questions determine chargeback eligibility. Even if networks do issue a chargeback, you can provide a 2nd presentment with evidence supporting your claim that it wasn't your fault. Finally, if all else fails, you can go the Good Faith Credit route.

Which leads me to say that the burden of fraud really falls on the network, not the merchant, since they have to abide by definitive chargeback policies set forth, and be willing to accept 2nd presentments for the sake of maintaining merchant relationships.

Your conclusion still holds true- swipe fees should be less than 3%- probably closer to 1%... let's just say I work in the industry, and see how the proverbial sausage is made.

"Would you like to save this password?" "Yes"
If I were actively whining it'd be about the apparent demise of the peer-to-peer option which is what I've been using for years. Heck, I have some old backup archives from old systems in there that I never got around to figuring out how to import. Guess there's new urgency if I want to pull anything out of those.

That said, Crashplan itself has been a lot less reliable in recent months than I'd like - little things like my laptop only being able to back up to a home system when I'm NOT on the same network, even though I can access other services on the same machine. Guess it's time to move a new backup system higher on my priority list.

Edit: The thing I really like(d) and will miss about Crashplan is the ease of adding another system to it. Either by signing into my account after installing the client on a new box (e.g. when I added a laptop) or by sharing a short code with my parents that they could simply enter to back up to my system with no real configuration required.
That's a really silly moral stance to take when you are a producer (and marketer) of opioids which lead to hundreds of over-doses annually.

Programmers are not computer scientists, and computer science is no more equivalent to software engineering than physics is equivalent to civil engineering.

Programmers are also not, in general, software engineers.

It's not about getting 'caught up in titles' either, IMO. It's an important distinction. Computer science programmes get flack for not teaching practical software engineering skills, which is totally unreasonable. Just as we have physics programmes, we should have proper computer science programmes.

You are allowed to do a physics degree and offer physics courses without people going 'but how do I design bridges??'. Yet every computer science lecturer will tell you they've had people ask 'but what does this have to do with making websites??'.

Disclaimer: this is proving hard from me to explain via text without the use of visualization.

Mammals did not evolve from dinosaurs. Mammals are synapsids, a branch of tetrapods. Dinosaurs come from a different branch of tetrapods entirely, called sauropsids. (There is a third branch of tetrapods, amphibia.)

Sauropsida is a really diverse branch containing both extinct and extant species. Look at the tree at the bottom of the page here [0]. A fork of interest is Sauria, which splits into lepidosauromorphs (including modern lizards & snakes) and archosauromorphs. Archosauromorphs have many branches as well (one of note being turtles), with one that traces far enough to get to archosaurs [1]. Modern crocodiles come from a branch of archosaurs. Dinosauria are another branch of archosaurs, and birds are descendants of dinosauria. They are the only extant species of dinosauria.

The confusion comes because many of these animals co-existed at the same time, some become extinct, others evolved and change and form new branches (but still belong to the parent group). The word 'Dinosaur' itself is also misapplied by the public - it's not all of the animals that lived 65+ million years ago. It's a very specific group of related animals and all of their descendants.

TLDR: Mammals didn't evolve from dinosaurs, but from a different branch further up the chain that dinosaurs also belong to. Those mammalian ancestors did co-exist with dinosaurs. Like mammals, modern reptiles didn't evolve from dinosaurs, but from ancestors that co-existed with dinosaurs. Reptiles and dinosaurs are more closely related than mammals and dinosaurs. Birds did evolve from dinosaurs, and are the only living dinosaurs today.
