You missed my point completely.

WHY is it political? It's because instead of dealing with this as an engineering problem we turned it into a human behavior issue.

It's not about the tone of the message - there should be no anti-human message at all.

The tone is irrelevant, just stop telling people to use less energy. Instead meet their need with better energy.
I think so too. Good for them and good for the locals. But let us not pretend this is not related to anti-globalism. I think it is and in many cases it's better for the locals, long term.

Now, if Uber can and is willing to meet the new reqs, by all means, play but play by the rules.

Except some of those things are legit. It can in fact take multiple months to see real movement in the SERPs. Value is added by fixing tagging and such.

There are a lot of snake oil salesmen just like in and industry, but some of these things don't belong on that list.
The problem is that the prices would climb uncontrollably and against the will of the members, who would be scared or forbidden from violating the price controls (and even if they did, the public would assume they're charging more).

Basically it'd be a taxi service, and taxi services suck. Taxi services suck because the drivers bargain against the consumers, and against eachother.
It's only surprising because we now know how terribly fast and loose Equifax was operating. I certainly assumed they knew their job and were operating more akin to a bank in terms of data protection.

Then again, I once did work for a bank, and witnessed an event where user PINs were discovered to be publicly available if one happened to know the magic URL. This discovery was made through the process of a pen-test team sharing their findings back to development, who in turn extended their findings based on what developers knew about the system. Forensics done after the discovery revealed no cases of anyone actually finding the magic URL, which was a big relief for the company. So maybe the banks aren't as strong as we think, either. We have quite a few payment breaches to look back to as evidence.
We can definitely count the markets in which Uber operate, so that statement is a bit silly (hint look here https://www.uber.com/en-GB/cities/ and count them).

They also definitely do not operate without significant issue in a many of them.

Regulation for taxi services is important. The adverts in some countries telling you not to take unlicensed taxis are not there for fun. The training's there to help drivers. Anyone who can't be bothered is probably not serious about being a good driver or playing by the rules and shouldn't be welcomed into the industry.

I used to be very bullish on nuclear power, but after Fukushima I have become much more dubious (not to mention the current state of nuclear waste disposal).

What I was told was the case was that a modern reactor was incapable of failing in the way that Chernobyl failed. And that all modern reactors were designed to fail safe, so even if things did go awry, the reaction would stop because of structural constraints. Then Fukushima failed, and the story changed; that particular reactor was not designed for the particular disaster that struck, and did not fail safe.

I live near three nuclear plants (Indian Point, Tom's River, and Limerick), all of which are huge producers of cheap power for the grid. But what assurance do I have that these plants are not susceptible to a catastrophic failure due to some unexpected event? The answer is that I do not have the information to judge, but I have no reason to believe that they are resistant to local low-probability events than the residents around Fukushima did.

If someone were to try to build a new nuclear plant anywhere near me, I would oppose it as much as I could because I no longer have faith that the engineers designing these plants have taken sufficient precautions.

I always thought this idea had greater potential for extremely long car rides. If I'm taking a business trip from NYC to Boston, I'd be okay with a tagalong as long as they provide some gas money. It would have to be something scheduled in advance, but the ride would probably be more pleasant than taking a bus, and I'd be willing to drop the tagalong off somewhere besides the city square.

Kodi's pretty OK. Runs well on a FireTV if you want a cheap device that supports h.265 at 1080p. Interface still kinda terrible, but better with a real remote. Can use phone to control it if you want, though less convenient to do that on FireTV than dedicated box, since it may be killed when idle.
I feel like I'd need to compare that to incidents with taxis and similar industries to be able to determine the significance. Then I'd need to see if any of the regulations allegedly being skirted would actually impact them.

Also, that site is literally a creation of the taxi lobby [1].

Getting data into a reasonable format is (unfortunately!) a huge part of the machine learning process; that was the motivation for tools like pandas (in Python) and dplyr (for R). Joseph is describing a machine-learning-enabled way to automate some of that data cleaning, which is pretty cool.

Check out the PROSE SDK (including an interactive playground) here. I particularly like its ability to extract JSON to something resembling a dataframe: https://microsoft.github.io/prose/documentation/extraction-j...

That is certainly the idea in general but it will depend on how badly it affects worker productivity. It's just strange to see a company do a study, prove that offices produce the best results and still go with a measure that presumably isn't cost effective (else the initial study should have concluded that the difference was well within tolerable loss).

Procrastination is actually just a mild form of discomfort about what one perceives to be an overwhelming task. The "no zero days" mindset is excellent because it gets you past the initial discomfort and gets you into the stage where you're actually working on the thing. Once you are working on it, it becomes easier to keep working on it because you realize it isn't as bad as you perceived before you started.

The pomodoro technique is another thing that's commonly recommended, which is essentially the same. It helped me big time.

The great thing is that it applies to pretty much anything. Having trouble picking up a new programming language? Just look at the wiki on it and you'll probably find something that sparks your curiosity. Having trouble keeping up with exercise? Just walk for 1 minute and you won't want to stop. It's all about consistency over time.
Why is no one stating the obvious? 1) hardware improvments along with db hosted solutions simplified sql management and scaling 2) most data is simply useless or of very temporary value. Having said that, I do not think sql can compete with specialized solutions when it comes to unstructured or semi-structured data like EMR for example.
Also, with notable exception of datalog/datomic NoSQL solutions remain kV stores hacked together by some horrible programming models
> But you should feel guilty about using energy.

No, I absolutely refuse. I refuse to such a degree I'm not even going to ask you why I should feel guilty.

I have zero desire to live in that kind of world. The more energy we use the better the world becomes.

We should spend our effort on finding good sources of energy (i.e. cheap, and clean). Not on using less energy.

I don't mind spending some effort on efficiency, if it doesn't impact me (for example more insulation, but zero desire to drive less).

The exception seems to be going after Uber. Minivan school carpools, etc, have informally existed for a long time without requiring extra licenses.
is it feasible to do this protocol reverse engineering without mitmproxy?
Lovely. The file size reductions are quite surprising.

Removing the need to wrap sibling elements in a single parent element is a welcome change.

I'd be interested in hearing some use cases for using the Portal API.

Lastly, the new licensing announced last week was fantastic news. I commented on last weeks thread, but I want to extend another round of compliments to Facebook and the React community as a whole for prompting this change. Props to them.

Interesting, it's tempting to not be concerned about them then although if we've learned anything there is zero correlation between doing business with someone and them collecting data about you.
I don't know about this particular case, but a lot of times when one looks more deeply at two things that are the "exact same substance", one finds that they may be primarily the same substance, but there are a number of surrounding details that are different driving the separate products. It could be different marker smells or dyes, or that there is a bit of lubricant additive in R-134a, etc...
It isn't a valid proof, because it's perfectly possible that the variable has a null value and that the call is invalid.

Detection of that null value is already there and essentially free of charge.

The implementation is going out of its way to prevent an instance of undefined behavior from being detected, without providing a useful, documented extension in its place, and in a situation when the detection costs nothing.

Firefox's main selling point for many has always been that it's fighting for a free and open web. And simply "not being Google" (/Facebook, but they don't have a browser yet) still is a selling point as well.
Why not just a black car/taxi app? No need to get Uber involved.
What I said still applies.

No it did not. It said "stop using guilt to try to change behavior".

People hate that, and it turned this subject in a political issue (which it should never have become) instead of the engineering issue it should have been.

> If we start screaming "something must be done!", we'll be very unhappy with what actually gets done.

I seldom find such wisdom in the hive. But the hive wants something to be done. Legislatures and lobbyist have this twist-o-flex down to a documented science. They love it! What ever the public wants for 30-days, can turn around into an industry wishlist in 6 months when something actually gets on the floor.
Well they sold services which made use of a vulnerable version of struts.... You can argue services != products, but It could be argued a similar approach could apply.

The fact that they didn't sell those services to consumers but that consumers are the ones impacted is actually a big part of the problem.

There's an externality here in that the people who suffer the loss have no part in the transaction (they are neither buyer no seller) so have no way to, in an economic sense, impact Equifax's behaviour, which does lead to the idea that regulation could be an appropriate approach.
What, do you want companies to be responsible for the negative externalities of their products?

Next you'll want oil companies to pay for cleaning up their messes, and banks to pay for financial crises, and data processors to take responsibility for their huge data breaches.

I don't want them to be moral police, but they should be held accountable when they are a silent partner in a shady business.

It's just like pawn shops. After being robbed I realized that pawn shops entire business model is built on people who have stolen something and are happy to get any amount of money for what they had stolen.

What pawnshops do isn't illegal, but if you spend more than 5m in a pawnshop, you realize they wouldn't exist if it weren't for drug addicts who needed their next fix. I witnessed someone walk in with a backpack full of random stuff. The people working the counter clearly knew her, they asked jokingly: "who's bag is that?" her response: "it's yours now".

This is the secret of of facebook and google. This is what powers self driving cars and AI and massages at work and "moonshots".

If the best defense of your actions is "it's not technically illegal", you might want to reassess your business model.
I agree, because after looking at both, I don't see how boingboing added any value here.

Pretty sure such things already exist (white label cab apps). Unless several of the local taxi firms in Southampton have hired a teams of (competent) app developers...
I think thats actually a worthy goal, presume the worst, hope for the best. But still, its safe to presume that we have a better than 80% odd of having an advanced civilization still in 100-500 years, when newer, more advanced technology may be able to mitigate to stabilize the problem better. If not, those warning signs for cave men saying "keep away" will probably be helpful. Either way, the costs of continuing to burn fossil fuels is very high - I can't decide if its too high or not - thats for people smarter than I to ponder upon.
This may be true but the health costs are shifted to the consumer, government and health providers. If health damages were factored into the costs of producing energy or as overhead that the fossil fuel industry had to eat, they would have much more incentive to be cleaner and to invest in renewables.
That refutes your argument, not the responses.

Regarding teachers - it's up to the person making extraordinary claims to provide extraordinary evidence [0]. Even at a glance however - how many grade 1-5 teachers are on the internet at all, let alone best. It's pure statistics to know the claim is highly unlikely.

Thinking the best educators are on the internet is a lot like Americans who believe their country is the best country - it's an extreme form of short-sightedness. See how that fits so nicely into the rest of my post?

Regarding people becoming less short-sighted - I'd say next to nothing has changed. From the point of view of your life now versus 500 years ago, it's great. From the point of view of this planet and it's people as a whole - how many people did we kill among ourselves again in the last 100 years alone?

Didn't we nearly blow up the planet less than 50 years ago? We're far more monkey-brained than people who are smart and only associate with at least somewhat smart people like to believe.

In case it wasn't clear, it is now the case that content process compromise is no longer critical unless combined with sandbox escape.

Yeah, this really gets my goat. These days MoltenGL and MoltenVK are getting more popular. Good on the Molten* folks for making these layers, but I have a feeling they won't be used very widely unless they're basically free to license. Maybe somebody (Google?) will come around and buy them outright.

Even worse, Apple's GL drivers never performed very well to begin with. Their intel drivers have been much slower than Mesa for more than half a decade, and supported fewer (super useful) extensions for about two years.
