Thank you for putting those statistics in context; I was going to ask StanislavPetrov to do it, given that he was happy enough to reply to my comment with some "research".

This whole thing is turning into a bizarre "у вас негров линчуют" scenario, complete with a Russian name (one that I'm sure the original Petrov - who actually knew enough about what his particular area of expertise to save the world - would have been loathe to see.)
This looks great! Is there any chance that it will work with MS SQL Server? Sadly (i.e. over my recommendations) my company uses it rather than PostgreSQL.

So you had a run-in with an idiot biker last week. If you live in a busy city, that sounds like a pretty good statistic and you probably have been in several dangerous traffic situations with drivers in that same timespan. This strongly feels like confirmation bias to me.

Lexis sells access to everything although some of the databases are pricey. I have not heard of a ChexSystems breach yet. They are integrated with most banks.

Even with normal use and no breaches, all these cross-referenced databases are hell for those of us who went through a gender transition. It is practically impossible to get rid of references to my old name. It outs me anytime I open a bank/credit account or arrange new insurance.

I was thinking about your post, and was trying to imagine the difference between anti-car and pro-human-life.

Cars provide a lot of benefit, but without 'traffic calming' or anti-car architecture, there are more and more of them going faster and faster, killing pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers.

It's a balancing act, but I think there is not a big city in the USA that would be considered to actually favor pedestrians and cyclists over cars. (yet.)
They say that overall, 143 million people were affected.

There are about 250 million adults in the US.

I would take that to mean that if you're a US adult, with any sort of credit history, you're affected. The affected data for the larger 143 million was: "Most of the consumer information accessed includes names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and in some instances, driver’s license numbers."

There's also a smaller set that had even more data exposed:

"In addition, credit card numbers for approximately 209,000 consumers and certain dispute documents, which included personal identifying information, for approximately 182,000 consumers were accessed."
Vimium port for FF is acceptable.
Nice, thanks!

Everything feels 10 times faster without smooth scrolling, while I have to say that the nightly already felt blazing fast _with_ smooth scrolling, haha.
They asked me for this as well and said it was for diagnostics to confirm the repair was a success. You can decline politely with no problems.
It's really fast, although for some reason it keeps consuming CPU steadily in the background. This makes my MBP temp go to 70ºC and the fan becomes audible.
Am I the only one who wants Plex to just be Plex, i.e. a media server for what I have stored locally? All of these new features make me think Plex is going in the direction of a cloud-only service and may drop local storage support down the line.

I agree, but I think that kind of factor is very different to what the comment I was replying to was talking of, in "because distributing our efforts over different areas gives us a broader view of history" as if it was some sort of co-ordination with the goal of creating a broader view. What you're talking about is an individual seeking novelty.

I would suggest Bloomberg and other media research what can be done to educate people that advertisers sometimes, once in a while, aren't spending money in order to make people's lives better.

To be clear, the parties behind these sham recovery centers are scum that deserve any and every legal repercussion available. And, if illegal, no Google shouldn't do business with them. But the bottom line reason why Google didn't act faster was because they weren't per se illegal, but more so loophole exploiters.

Policy makers subsidized an industry and, learning nothing from every other subsidy in the history of the world, forgot that subsidies invite bad actors. (Calling coverage of medical treatment a 'subsidy' is admittedly somewhat of a stretch, but in the context of all the medical issues that health insurance does not cover I stand by the label. E.g., German public health insurance used to cover 'prescriptions' for sun and relaxation, until it became abused by people taking taxpayer subsidized vacations. Designations of coverage have a similar effect as a subsidy, at the very least.)

This path we're heading down of expecting "the internet" to protect us from the latest baddies out there worries me on a much deeper level. And I don't see this as a 'slippery slope' argument: this is just looking at existing data points and following the trajectory. The current direction is worrying, without regard for the potential of acceleration. Exploitive ads have been around forever -- from the literal snake oil salesmen to the ads in every newspaper, magazine and yellow pages to the present.

Hard cases make bad law. That's a maxim that is depressingly unpopular today.

+1 for the significantly improved performance on Firefox on OSX (I'm on a 2015 MBP), not just in the current 57 nightly, but since Firefox 55 came out.

Absolutely stunning improvement in performance!

Great work by team FFx! :D
I used Firefox Focus on my Pixel for a few weeks and was blown away by how fast it was. The mobile web went from borderline unusable to borderline pleasant with it, I imagine largely due to its tracking and limited ad blocking. Sadly, I migrated back to Chrome because anything that needs to work with Google login or opening an app simply doesn't work. This causes issues with a lot of things I use.

I feel like I'm being ActiveX'd into using Chrome now which is very non-Googly. Not sure how feasible it is to use a different mobile browser until Mozilla and Google work together to make sure they're all on the same API page on Android. Ironically enough, Windows is far more open and friendly to competing browsers than Android.
Perhaps, but it's an orders of magnitude smaller problem than climate change promises to be.
> pandas is an amazing library, the best at exploratory work,

I will add ... "in python." That is definitely true, but to call it "the best at exploratory work" is not accurate. I might be opening up a completely separate debate, but for down and dirty exploratory work nothing beats R's dplyr and ggplot.

With that being said, I now do most of my work in python because of putting models into production. I also haven't had any issues with pandas in production; maybe because I'm not doing high throughput operations and our ML application is relatively lightweight.

Same question here, thought about creating a lawnmower robot a while back...

For now, the (unexecuted) plan was/is using DGPS (differential) using a base station with a known lat/lon...
Just look for feedback. I use many historical price values other than volume. Plus some specific things I have added for pattern recognition in time-series data. That's the special part.
I thought the GPS satellite constellation was made with a low precision on purpose, and that high precision GPS was only possible with a decryption key held by the american military?

Does that mean the US opened their GPS keys, or does that mean there's another constellation of satellites (like Galileo) that is allowing that level of performance?

Then you don't really agree with the post. It literally said "people aren't changing behavior because you're making them feel guilty". Which is really an impossible-to-address pretend argument.

I don't disagree, either, but whatever data Equifax has collected would be part of the bankruptcy sale.

> can top 20 mph barreling down the sidewalk. Sometimes with cargo in tow.

I would be very surprised to see that on a side walk. 20mph is above the speed limits for cars in cities here in Sweden, and I recall reading that while the police can catch people speeding on bikes that its not very likely event.

> Usually with no notice and as is convenient for them

Seems similar to parents with strollers. I have never heard of a parent being confronted by police for reckless engagement of children when walking on the bike road, and it is almost as if people do not view it as reckless. I am pretty sure through that people would react if a parent started to walk with the stroller onto the road against car traffic.

I would be very interested to know how many people would confront a stranger that is walking a stroller on a bike road, or even just quietly consider it reckless.

Interesting. I was unfamiliar with Innovis until last week where an article I read mentioned freezing your credit profile with the big 3 agencies and mentioned that it wouldn't hurt to contact Innovis as well.

Are they a distant 4th then?

If you put a security alert on on your profile with one of the big 3 agencies it automatically propagates to the other 2. I wonder why it doesn't propagate to this agency as well.
I will definitely echo (2). dplyr is amazing and works in far, far fewer lines of code than pandas. That was my largest issue when migrating over from R.

Google container engine.

But even on AWS.. all google is buying me is 1 "master" node for free (both running the node cost, and setting up the master cost). You can spin up a single reserved instance as your master node in about a day on AWS, and be good to go. So my "savings" by going google is like $50 and the setup of 1 master node. Outside of the master node, the experience is the same.

Bin packing is really nice. My app has something like 30 containers running. Using VMs, that would be 30 instances to fire up. In kubernetes, I fit it on 5 servers. Yes those 5 servers are a bit beefier, but it is still a pretty substantial savings.

Unfortunately, as long as Firefox security infrastructure does not match Chrome, I can not use it. Note that errors like use-after-free and buffer overflows are marked as Critical (run arbitrary code on computer) for Firefox, but marked as High (execute code in the context of, or otherwise impersonate other origins.) for Chrome because of sandboxing.

Firefox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities...

Chrome: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/search/label/Stable%20...

Hopefully with their sandboxing project done (Also with Rust) will make Firefox much better in the security department, but until then, no.

Never mind that it's not practical, it's also simply not moral.

Agreed, I doubt OEM's are pissed. Now they have an excuse to upsell the customer. I imagine the decision to move on or stay with a socket or firmware lock is 50% technical and 50% commercial for Intel. They need to keep OEMs happy and sales flowing. They don't want to just sell CPUs and have end users pop-in new CPUs and lose the support and goodwill of OEMs with mb's and systems to sell.

From a marketing perspective this means a new model number, new ads, etc all designed to make last years system obsolete and to bug you into buying the latest and greatest.

I am from philadelphia as well so I know there are bikes who stop at red lights and stay on the streets. I am not so nieve to think everyone does as I have also run across people who don't obey any traffic laws, but over the last 15 years biking in philly has grown up a lot, and people who used to rationalize their behavior because of lack of infrastructure are changing their ways and coming in line with what is expected of bikers in an urban setting. There will always be those who don't follow the rules, just like there are pedestrians and cars who don't follow the rules, but the situation in that city has gotten so much better, not because new laws were passed or cops cracked down on people running stop signs. The situation got better because more people bike, we put up bike lanes, and drivers got used to bikes being in the street with them.
I'd add that the vitriol against Equifax partly arises from everyone's distaste of CRA's (credit reporting agencies) owing to their magic 8 ball scheme of ranking credit. There may also be some reserved anti-sub-prime sentiment that lingers from 2008.

At the very least, I hope this will cause lenders and credit reporters to take data security very seriously.

This isn't expecting "the internet" to do anything, though. It's expecting Google, a corporation, to stop helping bad actors promote their "services".

While Google would love to be "the internet", they aren't quite there yet.
No, Firefox 57 does not use WebRender.

WR's architecture has changed significantly from that talk, for the better. In particular aggressive use of early Z has made our fragment shading performance go way up since then.

In Nightly you can turn WR on via about:config. But be warned that there are quite a few problems, including performance problems, that still remain. The foundation is solid, but the CSS rendering model is complex, and there's a good amount of engineering work that just has to happen to make every corner case fast. (For instance, parts of Ars Technica were recently found to be slow because the particular interaction between the CSS features it was using was causing Gecko to generate a ton of clipping operations for WR... there's no substitute for engineering polishing work that has to happen in cases like that.)
At $230 a click, Google has no incentive to stop selling scams, particularly with internet regulation being so weak. Safe harbor effectively gives them immunity to prosecution for profiting on the malicious content they host. All they have to say is "we're not responsible for content others post on our platforms".

Currently, The Verge has more power to regulate Google's behavior does than the US government, by bringing them to the court of public opinion. Which is why I have actually started to lean in favor of laws that strip away safe harbor protections like SESTA.

Internet companies don't need or deserve blanket immunity: They should be able to be taken to court when they misbehave.
