If a company finds a breach of sensitive customer data, they need to fix the breach, not wait until they discover a ton of data was lifted... otherwise this seems like prime stupidity, and the fact that they instead just tried to cover it up until they couldn't anymore shows deceit and untrustworthiness.
Possibly tangential, but that's yet another reason we need to fight for control of our computers, instead of outsourcing everything to commercial vendors in the cloud, and making everything so dumb that everyone can "master" it within 5 seconds of seeing it. Things don't have to be this way, computers can be used to augment human thinking.

Sounds like it may have been an issue with the remote end of the VPN tunnel then. I've been connected to VPN for days at a time, switching between Wi-Fi and cellular (including switching between IPv4-only, IPv6-only, and dual-stack networks), and have never had an issue with the device automatically re-establishing the VPN tunnel.

Of course things could have also just improved over time.
>"Free space" which they could already have gained back by removing the applications in the first place.

Were apps previously installed as fat binaries with 64 and 32-bit architectures included, and the 32-bit chunk has now been removed?

Or was that already taken care of with the "app thinning" stuff a couple of years ago?

There are more obvious things that influence scientists without malicious intent.

- The need to publish or forego money.
No, I was explaining that this already happens. Actually at least in the UK the system is just changing over to be more clear so rather than the tax credit you just get a lower rate.

So for instance instead of the 25%ish that you would expect to pay in tax on your income you pay 7.5% on your dividends which is more or less the income tax rate minus the corporation tax already paid.

> I was eating at a restaurant and got a call from an unknown 800 number that I didn't answer. [...] I called the number back and it was the issuing bank's fraud department saying my card was used suspiciously and they've cancelled it.

Once, I was also eating at a restaurant when I got a call from an unknown number. I answered, and they said it was the issuing bank's fraud department, saying my card had a couple of suspicious transactions...

But the call itself was the fraud. Luckly, I knew from the beginning that it was a fraud (the value of one of the "transactions" was high enough that I would have received a notification SMS), so I strung they along to waste their time, and stonewalled the moment they asked for personal information. And just to be sure, I went to a bank branch nearby (it was lunch time, and there are several bank branches within a few hundred meters) and they confirmed the "suspicious transactions" didn't exist at all.
> Then nothing is modern in the programming language world,

This does not really follow what I quoted. I'd also say that 'modern' may have some context dependency, but selling 40 year old stuff in the context of Lisp as 'modern' will not do it.

I would for example consider the specific support of multi-methods in Julia as 'modern' and interesting. This would allow me to use CLOS like programming constructs in areas where high-performance is wanted.

Does Guile implement R7RS small? The manual claims it does not implement the latest version...

> Anything beyond r7rs-simple, is just a library.

R7RS small is too small and for anything else there are multiple libraries with overlapping functionality. I'm also not a big fan of splitting up a language into tiny libraries.

If one removes the overlapping stuff from the Guile manual, I'd guess that 50% had to go and some of the rest needs to be redesigned and better integrated. Then it would still not be 'modern', but at least cleaner.
Try 3rd-party keyboards like Swiftkey, where keyboard/autocorrect is bilingual, so no more switching needed (now I would only need a trilingual keyboard for my use case...).

That's a fair point, and I would like to see this sort of study extended to professional code, and more complete type systems. Unfortunately, there are only a few languages and type systems in which this sort of comparison can be made.

I am, by temperament, inclined to to believe that typing can improve quality, but so far, empirical studies have not made much of a case for that, and I put empirical evidence above even my own opinions.
I didn't think you could spend revenue directly on assets without booking it as profits and paying tax on it. My understanding was you can discount part of the cost of an asset each year against revenue but not all at once.
Which VPN provider or enterprise gateway? Does your VPN Profile have an "Always-On" setting? That's only available on managed devices and it ensures that no traffic is passed unless the device is connected to a VPN, which is what causes the VPN to automatically reconnect.

If you have a standalone VPN app, it may also reconnect silently. But the system VPN does not stay reliably connected across device sleep and network status changes.
They ship a lot of those USA profits to Ireland because that's where they shipped all their "intellectual property". It's either ignorant or disingenuous to say that Apple paid the proper tax on their US income.

It's a wonderfully "liberal" scam they've got going.
Where is the insight? You have a bunch of clusters, but what do you actually do with the clusters once you have them?
The true beauty of TS is that you can use it however you want. You want your TS file to be vanilla JS go ahead. You want to use the type system go ahead. There doesn't seem to be much of a downside to me except for the developers that falsely think a type system will slow them down.
This doesn't seem insuperable. The rule could be that any dividend paid to anyone other than a UK taxpayer, or another UK company, is taxed at the top rate of income tax. That would make such a shunt pointless.

You could then extend the existing international double taxation agreements to cover these dividends. So, for example, if a dividend is paid to a Dutch taxpayer, it is not taxed at source, but as income. You might want to retain the current UK arrangement in this situation, though, so as to keep some of that tax revenue in the UK. You wouldn't extend these arrangements to tax havens.

Manoeuvres like the Double Irish or whatever would still get around this, and would still need to be attacked in the way they are (or at least should be) now.

You would need to extend the spirit of this rule to share repurchases, which might be tricky.
Has anyone come up with a way of tracking what gets shared where? Perhaps with a hidden pixel or some other mechanism to track requests? Or is that impossible because Facebook is a walled garden?

I'm thinking that since there is no check against Facebook's sharing algorithm going haywire (in effect censoring certain things for monetary gain) that that creates an incentive to not be fair. The public nature of the internet used to be our proof of fairness, for example with Twitter or YouTube.

It occurred to me that the same 3 people that like my posts are probably the only ones seeing them, since I'm one of the only ones who likes theirs back. We're collectively hellbanned, and I can't think of a stronger incentive to quit using Facebook.
It really shouldn't be a surprise that if someone's life is so shitty that they feel they need to do Heroin to escape it, then putting them through a grueling recovery process and then sending them back to their shitty life with no prospects is tremendously counterproductive.

As an aside, I find it hard to believe those people work on lines without shorting them out. That would be like cleaning a gun without unloading it first. I'd need to see some actual statistics on electrocution hazards due to backfeed before I sign on to this particular moral panic.

Frankly, I don't think the utilities consider backfeed to be as dangerous to their workers as it is to their business models. It's not in their financial interest to compete with their own customers.

Every morning just check each pump. Pretty basic stuff and that would mean easy-to-discover skimmers never sit for > 24 hours. You could then assign liability to undetected skimmers after a window of time.

JavaScript does not have multimethods and methods are called on objects. It sounds like methods must be purely functional and not use any instance fields.

The use case I had in mind was that I delete method from one class and create it in another. Then I go through all red in workspace and modify what is needed - sometimes just call the other place, other times remove the call entirely, yet other times conclude that method needs to go back because that two special places that don't have access to the other class instance.

Similar with changing signatures - I add/remove parameters and then go through all reds and decide how to fix them case by case.

I don't understand - why would cheap/free drugs prevent gun battles, car break ins or OD'ing?

As far as I'm aware, junkies still need money to eat/sleep/drink and very few have a reliable source of income. All gun battles aren't over drugs, and would still occur. And not all overdoses are caused by tainted drugs.

I'd say it's the banks/banking system. They skew the market and give money to the people from their own future. If this was impossible education simply couldn't be that expensive and perhaps only possible by paying it from taxes (which is money that does not require a "bank-owning elite fee" in the form of rent) and naturally limited to what a country can produce in the now instead of in some possible future that may or may not come to pass.

Banks allow for an inefficient, non market driven educational system. Banks, as they are now, are not part of the free market, they even needed saving using public money instead of letting market forces decide their fate.

It's the Guardian, that's pretty much to be expected.
In that article it was locals who got the witch doctor frauds to switch from bootleg alcohol to cola in their cermonies, so no direct link from that plant to them. It's local middlemen screwing over their own people and those criminal "healers" who now make more money from patients because it's easier and cheaper to obtain sodas than it is to make and sell alcohol. For sure a bad situation but if sodas weren't around they'd be drinking booze again and milk would still be too expensive, the water still undrinkable.

If you want to hold somebody accountable start with the guys peddling phony healing for dollars then move up from there to whoever is politically in charge of that region letting it go to shit, not hiring engineers and planners but instead cronies, and pocketing the rest of the federal money transfers. https://growthlab.cid.harvard.edu/publications/why-chiapas-p...
> People like you seem to think that if the W3C rejected DRM then sites would stop using it (and hence this being for the benefit of the user).

When did I say that? Specifically? Why did you assume I'm ignorant of the way corporations operate?

That's on you. Not me.

> It's absolutely beneficial for browsers to have a standardized API for this stuff instead of non-standard plugin hell.

Except the standard that they adopted is not friendly to the end-user. So "Non standard plugin hell" becomes "standard DRM hell."

A while back Widevine stopped working for me after an update. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work. End result? Almost no video played in my browser. You know what still would have worked? Pirate Bay.

You can spin it however you want. DRM is good for content providers. It's not good for users.

If Netflix requires DRM - so be it. They've got good engineers, they can provide a DRM plugin that you have to use. Or a standalone player. If a service doesn't have good engineering, their service will suffer.

It doesn't need to be a part of the open web standard.
An interesting case is the state of Georgia, which periodically makes nose about disputing its boundaries with Alabama and Tennessee, in order to move the boundary far enough to access the water of the Tennessee River. It has been many years since the lakes and resovoirs in northern Georgia have been "full" and I believe the Atlanta metropolitan area users more water normally than it recovers from rain.
You’re right it’s an excellent solution to that issue and sometimes it’s exactly what I want. I’m worried about the security aspect because a stock iphone is what you should get if you care about privacy and security yet the UI actively misleads you on the purpose of the toggle.

If they wanted a disconnect button they could have designed a new icon for it. Maybe a toast so that people understand what just happened.

I only see Series As and Series Bs happening when one or more of the following conditions are met: (a) An elite executive team (bonus if they know the VC already). “the team test“; (b) Highly demonstrable month-over-month or even quarter-by-quarter growth in key metrics. “the metrics test“; and/or (c) A well-reasoned, detailed roadmap and vision for taking the company from Point A to Point B. “the communications test” — Most seed-stage companies don’t have these (yet). I advise anyone serious about raising Institutional VC to ponder these conditions.
Drugs do not lead to crime. Desperation and opportunity, the need to survive, with a lack of morality, all directly lead to crime. Drugs do not make people commit crimes. Emotions, those mental states, do however. What we need, as a country, society, and human race is to recognize the importance of treatment of the mind above all else. Reduce suffering. Sure, there will always be a degree of sadness in life, we should as an intelligent species, strive to end mental and physical suffering.

Say you have an API endpoint:

router.post('/users', (req, res) => {

})

If someone posts to that endpoint with the wrong interface, you're still going to have problems. I'm not sure of any language that would catch such a thing at compile-time and not need some sort of test.

Bottom line is people will need websites and most people want to develop them in a way that is easy.

I agree.

Sure but on the actual internet how often are IP headers larger than 20 bytes because options are turned on? Not very often. The 20 bytes each for TCP and IPv4 is a pretty good assumption.

From the paper "IP Options are not an option" which is good quick read:

"We have studied the dependability of IP options-enabled
network packets in the Internet. We found that overall, approximately half of Internet paths drop packets with options"[1]

While I tend to agree, it's a little like telling someone to just "find a better job"; it's not always so easy. Maybe some people are unfortunate enough to not have real friends, and shallow Facebook connections are all they have.

Even though the shallow connections take up time that could be spent forging more meaningful connections with those around them, not everyone is self-confident enough to go cold-turkey.
