Interested. Not sure the extent you're willing to go other than "political project" but I've got some other wine industry connections that may be interested in this as well.
You can opt out they say in the article
Not necessarily. There are a range of builders between fully custom and track. There are at least 5 builders in my area that have a sets of plans that you can tweak and then get built.
What minimal power? Phones are being charged at home all the time. Android apps can prevent sleep. Dsp to parse voice is there. There are sdks for all this.
I remember the days when we thought archiving Usenet was technically impossible... Then DejaNews announced they'd been doing it for years already...
How do you RMA the CPU in a laptop though, I would expect it to be soldered in?

I guess through the manufacturer who gets to rework the main board ... gah how annoying that must be. I can easily imagine such a process taking weeks.

I hope you're right. :)
5% is a lot these days, and that Intel CPU will beat Ryzen clock-for-clock as well. Laptop manufacturers are fighting over every percentage point of gains these days, not trying to move backwards. People want to see all day battery life with reasonably good performance.

I like AMD and want more competition for Intel. If you have a use that scales across many cores, AMD is a great value for workstations. Their new server lineup is pretty compelling too. But if they want to win in mobile they need to be better on power and thermals even for normal users who won't use the iGPU's capabilities heavily.

Is this mainly intended for people from non-western countries who need a channel for free speech? Because apart from that I see no point in FB offering an onion service. If anonymity, discretion and trust are what I am looking for than surely FB itself is one of the least appropriate platforms for me.

More things are happening in real life, email/telephone, newspapers, magazines, and in books than on Facebook. I think that Facebook is bad for the human mind and bad for society.
Heck, I've been playing Mankind Divided on a 580 using open source drivers. Rocket league should be fine even with the smaller integrated GPU.
IP address is obviously sent to Facebook
Tagging users that have the same IP address seems to be a lot less sinister then what people are claiming
There's not really a sea of money changers here, in fact there's not many outside the backpacker/tourist area downtown. Also, the fact that the country has a few money changers is different that regular businesses accepting currency besides VND. Trying paying for your dinner with USD, I would imagine 80% would not accept it, and the 20% that do, would only do so if you paid at a rate that made it worth their while to go and change it themselves.

As an American living here, I'm all for it. The Vietnamese currency is far superior the American currency. All bills, no coins. Plastic bills that don't rip, and can get wet.
Wow,thanks! Sounds quite established! And I really like the "send stuff to your future self" ;-) Currently I use calendar entries for such things but thats not quite ideal.
>What I'm saying is, "cooperation" and all those words above contain the word work.

Your observations are fair enough, if I understood you correctly. So there is indeed some kind of work involved. The work of talking, discussing, negotiating, risking some effort/money (not a lot though, that is a recipe for failure). In short start small, and then move on to bigger ventures.
That's what Comcast did in Canada. I think they have net neutrality now, though.
Those were called One Words. That was their old businesses model and abandoned/pivoted.

interesting. thanks... I wonder if they have something like this for ios devices? seems like they have similar capabilities via the "hey siri" or whatever it is but I am curious if there is a hack to allow it to use that all the time from userland.
Why NVDA is not safe? They are pure hardware, that the former 4 need all the time.
I Like the "kids add stuff too" - as long as they dont mess with it ;-)

How do you add tasks/ideas/notes on the go?
A minor nit but the function to dedup the image ids and the corresponding comments seem to be off from a data structure/algorithmic POV.

"Looking at our deduplication function, it’s functional and performant, but not very descriptive. Essentially it checks a running set called seen, which is checked for originality as the deduplication script progresses. As python Dicts are essentially a hash map, the in check compares element hashes instead of each individual component of the dictionary object. This massively speeding up the deduplication process."

Uhm..I don't think so.

It is just extra work to check if the objects are already in the set vs just stuffing them all in and let the set handle uniqueness.

Am I missing something?

https://gist.github.com/pstoll/ae73582763540051d321a4eb15304...

Again, a minor thing. But seeing something like that makes my 'what else do I need to review' detectors go up.
What's your working definition of "mainstream news outlet"? I can't think of a reasonable one that precludes them from broadening their reach. And given their size, they are more likely to have the resources to do so.

Also, there are large populations where network monitoring and/or content restrictions are part of everyday life. The New York Times experienced this directly with respect to their iOS app in China.

Edit to add: To turn it around, why shouldn't the NYT do this? That isn't snark: I'm interested in hearing substantial reasons for the skepticism implicit in 'pbarnes_1 original question. Granted, I haven't read all of the comments for this submission, I haven't seen any that convincingly argue this isn't a useful thing.
From the bottom of the article:

> As TechCrunch noted, the opt-out provision also does not appear to actually stop the data collection, but simply removes tags linking the data to a specific device

You just forget all the other signal you've giving. Funnily enough, last week somebody was trying to convince me that Facebook was recording their every word.

"I was telling a friend about a recent trip to Thailand", they said, "and I immediately saw an ad for Thai Tea". I asked if he'd used Facebook when he was in Thailand. He had.

Which is more likely: Facebook is recording every conversation of every user on their app and mini them for ads or the advertiser in question just targeted people who had recently been to Thailand.
Yes, but NIST recommendations are non binding. It is the ability to create legally binding standards that attracts rent seekers and prevents technical expertise from being the primary factor in decision making.

>How Zoe Quinn survived Gamergate and lived to make money of gullible people

Better title
The company may not care about building skills for employees that are transferable elsewhere (though good companies do), but they do care about being able to hire people with skills that are applicable to their systems.

Of course, but who would you rather hire, someone with solid fundamentals who can get up to speed quickly with anything, or someone who job-hops to use the latest buzzword library/framework/language that may have a useful lifetime of just a few years or even less? Given an either/or decision with other things being equal, I would almost always prefer to hire the former, and then use whatever tools worked best for the job regardless of whether they were built in-house or imported. A job-hopping resume full of trendy buzzwords is a big red flag for me.

While a very large company can get away with building a custom in-house ecosystem that takes months for a new employee to come up to speed on

This argument gets made all the time in discussions about frameworks, but I just don't see it. In my entire programming career, I have yet to encounter this hypothetical nightmare architecture that takes months before you can become productive and has no useful documentation or examples even though the entire application is built around it. (YMMV, obviously.)

Being able to get up to speed quickly on a new framework or library is an essential skill for a working professional developer. Whether that is the latest shiny Web World buzzword or something internal in your new employer's environment makes little difference, as long as the internal design is also sensible and reasonably documented -- and if it's not, you have much bigger problems than who you're thinking about hiring next.
It comes back to haunt the next generation. Meanwhile, this generation gets to enjoy both smooth roads and low taxes.
Why Full-Stack Development?
Construction pricing is definitely out of control. Part of the problem is that the entire industry is funded with low interest purchase and equity loans and not cash. Another problem seems to be that a lot of construction entities went offline in during the crisis and never came back. Any construction quote easily runs into the $100,000s for even a tiny addition to a house. It's way out of control.

If there would exist a construction company that would have upfront pricing, not insanely expensive, and can get most jobs done within several weeks, they would get a huge amount of business. Instead it's always months out, pricing 5x what it should be, and often just impossible to find anybody.
> There's nothing special about the uniform distribution that makes it some kind of natural or default prior for a random variable on a bounded interval.

I don't agree. Suppose I carry out this process:

Step 1) Generate a random histogram over the bounded interval

Step 2) Pick a random number according to the distribution that histogram represents

If I repeat that process a large number of times (say a few million), what will be the distribution of the result? It will be approximately uniform, and the more times I repeat the process the closer to uniform I get. So the uniform distribution actually is special, as the average case of randomly chosen distributions, and hence why it should act as the default when the only thing we know about the distribution is an upper and lower bound.
> Fran Allen is the opinion that the adoption of C delayed the field of compiler optimizations research back to pre-history (Coders at Work).

Yes! The entire book is wonderful, but as a compiler writer myself, Fran's interview really stuck with me.

The relevant passage, for the curious:

———

Seibel: When do you think was the last time that you programmed?

Allen: Oh, it was quite a while ago. I kind of stopped when C came out. That was a big blow. We were making so much good progress on optimizations and transformations. We were getting rid of just one nice problem after another. When C came out, at one of the SIGPLAN compiler conferences, there was a debate between Steve Johnson from Bell Labs, who was supporting C, and one of our people, Bill Harrison, who was working on a project that I had at that time supporting automatic optimization.

The nubbin of the debate was Steve's defense of not having to build optimizers anymore because the programmer would take care of it. That it was really a programmer's issue. The motivation for the design of C was three problems they couldn't solve in the high-level languages: One of them was interrupt handling. Another was scheduling resources, taking over the machine and scheduling a process that was in the queue. And a third one was allocating memory. And you couldn't do that from a high-level language. So that was the excuse for C.

Seibel: Do you think C is a reasonable language if they had restricted its use to operating-system kernels?

Allen: Oh, yeah. That would have been fine. And, in fact, you need to have something like that, something where experts can really fine-tune without big bottlenecks because those are key problems to solve.

By 1960, we had a long list of amazing languages: Lisp, APL, Fortran, COBOL, Algol 60. These are higher-level than C. We have seriously regressed, since C developed. C has destroyed our ability to advance the state of the art in automatic optimization, automatic parallelization, automatic mapping of a high-level language to the machine. This is one of the reasons compilers are …[sic] basically not taught much anymore in the colleges and universities.

Seibel: Surely there are still courses on building a compiler?

Allen: Not in lots of schools. It's shocking. There are still conferences going on, and people doing good algorithms, good work, but the payoff for that is, in my opinion, quite minimal. Because languages like C totally overspecify the solution of problems. Those kinds of languages are what is destroying computer science as a study.

I recommend that any programmer who hasn't read this book give it a read. In fact, I think I might give it another read this week :)
Elon Musk warns Australia on its energy supply problems
I believe people should have the right to whatever they want to do with their own data and no one elses. When I am about to engage with your service and you tell me you're going to mine my data to sell me things or even improve my healthcare, it should be my decision not the governments. Much of the internet today crosses this boundary: when I came to your website, I never authorized you to allow Facebook to track me with that stupid like button. I also disagree with your right to post pictures of me on Facebook or to share my email address and phone number with that new-fangled contacts app you just downloaded without my permission. However, I do believe you have the right to hand your own data to Google in exchange for services like Gmail and Google Maps.

Furthermore, I believe in a consumers right to sue if they are harmed by a companies misuse of data (Equifax).

Note these policies are very consumer oriented (i.e. it's illegal to put Google Analytics on your site without notifying your users.)

What I'm very worried about is when a policy ends inadvertently fostering centralization. For example, the government might require you to store private user information with one of a set of vetted companies to prevent another Equifax situation.

A better policy might be to allow consumers to sue firms for damages resulting from negligence and prevent firms from forcing consumers into binding arbitration.

> But what is it that you’d like to do with people’s private data that you’re worried will be prevented?

In my experience, medical innovation has stagnated because of unreasonable data protection on the part of firms in reaction to government policy. For example, I've had execs get cold feet on a project that would clearly save lives and improve the bottom-line because there's a perceived security loss.

While there are good arguments for these protections, my only point is that regulation never comes for free: efficiency is inevitably lost somewhere, and you need to be comfortable with the trade-off.
> That's not the only language I've dealt with in interviews, but statistically probably the language you could associate w/ most readily.

I have been programming for two decades now and personally, I'm a PL nerd and a fan of polyglot programming, with more than a hundred languages surveyed, a few tens of languages known, and a dozen or so languages used in production. I have a blog (see my profile) on the topic and everything... In other words, you don't need to hold back if you have some more interesting examples just because they're in a "not in the first five on TIOBE" language :-)

> explain differences between bind, call, and apply in JS

You weren't joking saying the questions were about fundamentals. This is an incredibly basic knowledge to be asking about. I last touched JS probably more than 4 years ago, yet I have no trouble explaining this. How could any active JS developer not know this? Or are we talking about very junior positions?

> you might want to be familiar with the function signatures

Why should I bother? I know that one of the functions takes a list of values as a single argument and the other takes any number of arguments, just like they do in many other languages which have them both (for example Erlang has apply, but it doesn't have call, because it doesn't support variable arity functions). Let's assume for a moment that I don't remember which is which, and also don't remember the order of other args (obj first and arglist second or the opposite), and also don't remember if they are methods or standalone functions.

I can check all of these in 10 s on the web, but my editor displays a function signature while typing, so, in practice, it makes no difference if I remember this or not. In other words: why should I spam my memory with useless trivia? There are more interesting things to remember!

> Knowing ES6 syntax vs traditional prototypal inheritance in JS.

Again, the prototype inheritance is a fundamental property of JS. I have a side-project in Io lang and I know Lua quite well, not to mention I debugged more than enough CoffeeScript back when source maps weren't universally supported, so I believe I have a good grasp of prototypal inheritance.

The exact class declaration syntax, on the other hand, is just a tiny bit of info that I can check in 30 seconds.

> If you have "experience" but have never felt the need to dig a little deeper

Then you should change the occupation to something else than programming. If you don't have the curiosity to dig deeper, you most probably don't have a desire to learn and improve, which, in the industry where you need to run as fast as you can just to remain where you are, makes you a liability for any team you'd join.
That is not what I'm arguing. :)

Are you arguing against Net Neutrality?

Governments do have a duty to protect people from predatory companies. When private companies inhibit the freedom of a population, would you argue that governments shouldn't intervene to protect the freedom of the people?
>Because the program didn't exist when you made the choice to accumulate unsustainable debts.

Where are you getting this from? The program has existed for 10 years, and many similar programs where state and local governments would pay off loans if you came to work for them existed for years before that.

>unsustainable debts

Even in the case of someone who took out loans before the program existed, how does it follow that the debts are unsustainable?

What if I have $40k in student loans that I'm perfectly able to repay over 10 years, but I chose to work as a teacher knowing that one of the benefits of that career choice is that I can make minimum payments, and take advantage of this program.

Fair enough. But where?

Despite the constant fear mongering of "stranger danger", turns out most people don't actually want to kill you.

One of the things I like about the sharing economy (Uber, Airbnb, etc) is that we're slowly being reminded that it's okay to trust our neighbors, despite the constant attempts by the media to spread fear.
I personally love the idea of having users log in with a temporary token sent by email, and have been doing so in my own projects for a while now.
However, I don't think sending them a link is a good idea, since it just gets them used to clicking on things in their emails, which could potentially lead them being phished quite easily.

From another comment [0] in this thread:

> People started discovering that after iOS introduced the battery/power usage section in the Settings app.

They couldn't do it 24/7, of course, but they could certainly take "samples" at regular intervals or in certain locations or something. From my own experience, it doesn't seem that Facebook has ever been worried about battery life or preserving it.
