Hey jszym, that's our bad. We do mention the extension being required on our landing page (below the fold), but we definitely could make it more clear. Thanks for raising it to our attention.

If you like, I can purge our db of your Amazon auth -- all we get is your name and email from the amazon login.

Not the parent, but in my view, this wouldn't be significantly different than the world outside the Internet. A citizen and their possessions are rarely if ever outside the legal jurisdiction of the nation they are a part of. I do not see why the Internet should be any different than this.

If there is a problem with the government, the solution needs to be to fix that government, not try to evade it or operate outside of it.
What you're describing is the narrative that most media barons pushed from the 50's onwards - the notion of "quality journalism" - it's the reason the Pulitzer prize exists at all (http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/04/2015-pulitzer...). It was built to legitimize newspapers.

Media barons didn't hire journalists because they were ethical and factually accurate. They created that narrative because otherwise those people wouldn't churn out relevant and timely content to suit their readership. When the readership changes, media follows it. There is no intrinsic value in serving up the truth as it pertains to stock price.

Now you may argue that places like the NYT are the exception. But even here, this high falutin branding is there only to justify the power of ads for a different (read: intellectual) audience. If the NYT was forced to focus on one of their verticals today, would it be news? No. It would be food, fashion, and lifestyle because that's what drives all their traffic.

With Uber, you already get a picture of the driver, along with the plate number, make, and model of the car. You also already necessarily have a device capable of calling 911 by using Uber (your own phone).

This whole idea that Toronto (or London, or Quebec) is the only place in the world with the unique insight to regulate ride sharing services with their own unique snowflake policies needs to be dispelled. Many of these regulations (including the ones you're citing) clearly are relics of the past that don't reasonably apply to these services.

Residents of Toronto won't be able to move forward by clinging to the entrenched status quo out of misplaced beliefs that their regulations are future-proof, infallible, or provide any significant amount of additional safety to riders.

If I'm reading the documentation [1][2] correctly, you're overselling the security. Verifying an SGX attestation requires trusting not only the integrity of the per-processor secret keys, but the honesty of an Intel-provided online verification API.

The API allows you to POST an attestation report to Intel's verification web service, and get back a response saying "OK" or "not OK". You can use TLS to verify that the authentication was done by Intel rather than a MITM, but there seems to be no cryptographic way to prevent Intel from simply lying to you. They don't offer any way for third-parties to verify attestation reports themselves. [3]

Is there something I'm misunderstanding?

I type `ls ls something` a lot because of this.

It doesn't say a word about running inside SGX without the insecure developer mode... or about the use of SGX meaning they're stuck with hardware which has the highly questionable ME layer.

SGX as an additive layer for things you can't make strongly private is interesting... though I wonder if it wouldn't have first made sense to implement a private intersection so that signal users wouldn't have to send numbers that are guaranteed to have no hits.

Different peoples brains work differently. React clicks with your brain, but not Vue. I've been doing web development since 1996.

Vue has been amazing for us so far.

If you're so blind that the literal term "white privilege" is not racist to you, then there is no use in talking.

You've judged an entire race, including myself, and accused us of having some kind of property. Worse still, you use it as justification for taking from those you've determined have this nebulous "privelege".

Its identical to the logic used by white supremacists against Jews, or groups like the panthers and blm. Racism is not ok just because you're a minority and you think some guy had it easier because he's white.

It is so absurd that I have to point this out. That casual anti white racism has become so acceptable.

Look at places like Zimbabwe if you want to see where this could go. We made some 60 years of progress in race relations, and now people like you go around dividing us and screaming about something ad nonsensical as white privilege.

Let me spell it out to you, because you are truly oblivious to your bias. You blanketly characterized a group of people based off their skin color. And let me remind you, you brought whiteness and white privilege into this as though it were relevant. Not me.

I'm not interested in addressing the rest of your comment until you recognize your egregious racism; otherwise your logic is simply inconsistent.

In the EU, even without the Safe Harbor, personal data was allowed to be transferred with a series of other agreements -- including explicit consent. That means that a user who didn't want their information kept in the EU, could arrange to have it stored elsewhere.

I use an app called 'Calm'. It focuses on mindful breathing through 10-15 minute guided sessions. I have been using it daily for just over 3 weeks and have already noticed some differences in my ability to discern thought patterns that are not useful, and am often able to bring my mind back to the present. Not all the time - meditation isn't a fix-all for stress. But it has helped me thus far.
Oh please. React itself might not be that difficult but thrown in couple overly engineered libraries like react-router and immutable.js and that poor beginner will start feeling a bulging Javascript fatigue in their foreheads.

Once you get rolling both of them are good but it's no easy task to start-up a React project on your own. You need a lot libraries, have to twiddle with immutability which is no piece of cake with JS and be constantly aware of small quirks like keys when looping jsx-elements, className instead of class, how to add css preprocessor, using setState instead of directly assigning to it with the constant farce with deeply nested Object.assigning oh such fun.

React tries to make the world a better place with more theoretical approach while Vue focuses on tried-and-true methods that work and are straight-forward for everyone with a little experience in programming. (v-if might not be pretty but it beats JSX conditional) Granted modern frontend development has a lot of different things to be aware of that make it bit difficult for beginners but IMO Vue makes it a lot more simpler and productive. Some things I wish might be better like the ecosystem but oh well. Overall I'm happier and the only problem is having to fight off overly smug React-developers who have rubbed their egos so hard that they aren't able to even think about better solutions anymore.
I think you can (with a warning), but it's still recommended to use the normal React naming conventions according to [0]:

> Note: always use the canonical React naming for all supported attributes.

Looking through the examples, it looks like non-string class values will be converted to strings, while non-string className values will be ignored (with a warning).

I really am surprised how so many 'solutions' to 'obvious' problems are really just methods to ignore the difficult parts. It's pervasive, especially on Reddit/HN type forums and with charlatan politicians and their supporters.

If the solutions were easy, they would have been figured out by now. We live in a highly engineered world but people constantly ignore all nuance.

Another example I saw recently was this crazy outrage that Whole Foods was selling pre-peeled oranges in plastic containers. They were contacting corporate offices and trying to shame WF for their waste. Nobody stopped to think that maybe people have different levels of manual dexterity and that the elderly or disabled people might enjoy a fresh orange too.

Nearly all of the challenge in design lies in the corner case.

Not disagreeing with you on the narrative side, but the newspapers of yesteryear held themselves to higher standards.

Maybe in a world where the public was better educated (in general, people had less years of schooliing, but they learned a little less technical facts and much more critical thinking skills, IMHO) the newspapers could not get away with telling lies people wanted to hear. They needed to bend the truth subtly into a narrative that was aligned with the reader biases. This would inform the average reader of the real facts without challenging their world view too much; and a truly informed reader could approach the actual truth by picking up two or three reputable newspapers of different political affiliation and interpolating the middle ground in the nuances between stories.

Today, average reading comprehension and attention span has dropped like a rock; and there are no real negative consequences from outright lying. It is much harder to figure out what's actually going on if your three (or ten, or twenty) sources cannot even agree on the basic facts.

> the compiler isn't required to compile it to anything specific

That might be true if the ISO C standard were the only source of requirements going into the making of that compiler; it isn't.

There are other issues.

Obviously, the compiler is in fact compiling it to something very specific. It's not simply an accident due to the situation being ignored that the indirect call gets replaced by a direct jump. The translation is deliberate.

From ISO C: Possible undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results, to behaving during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the
environment (with or without the issuance of a diagnostic message), to terminating a translation or execution (with the issuance of a diagnostic message).

This is definitely not the result of "ignoring the situation completely"; ignoring the situation completely means translating the code earnestly and subsequently the translation doing the indirect jump attempt through a null pointer. That's what it means not to do anything specific. It's not terminating the translation, so it's not the third kind of behavior. So it must be "behaving during translation or programing execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment". I don't see how this is a characteristic of the environment; nobody can claim with a straight face that this is environmentally dictated!

Also, the undefined behavior never actually occurs. A pointer variable may be null; null is a valid value. Undefined behavior only ensues when the attempt is made to dereference. That's not actually happening in the program; the translation is devoid of any attempt to dereference null. The idea that the null pointer dereference caused the translation and the subsequent call to that function requires a perverted view of causality in which later events cause earlier events.
IANAL, but I believe that what will happen is that those patent sales will be encumbered by the existing agreement, and accordingly less valuable.

If the new patent owner tries to sue people who relied on Microsoft's prior promises not to sue, it might be possible to accuse them (Microsoft) of promissory estoppel and force them to cover any damages. It's probably not in Microsoft's interest to play games like this.
Diversification: How to Survive a Cryptocurrency Crash
I didn't try the new Firefox yet, but now the only thing possibly holding it back are its confusing menus and dialogs:

- we have the artificial distinction between the hamburger menu, the traditional menu and several (Chrome-like) settings pages

- yet, obviously, the New Page could function as the entry point to all of Firefox features: history, favorites, settings, customization, extensions. This would remove all clutter from the chrome, would be more discoverable, and would be easily touch compatible.

- dialogs, really, who want out of window dialogs? If you start with the New Page, there is a full page to work with, and this also lets the user use Ctrl+F to search for any hard to spot options. It is also mobile friendly.

And lastly, every single time I download a .exe Firefox asks me what I want to do with it (I save it every time) and every time I click the checkbox that says "Do this every time". But the dialog nevertheless keeps returning, with this useless checkbox enabled, suggesting I didn't click it last time. Very irritating.

So I hope the new UI improves things, there's quite a lot to gain.

Despite these gripes, it is my default browser, and I'm increasingly impressed by the incredible work being done.
