Some sites do this intentionally. Not sure if there's a positive name for it, but I've always seen it called "scrolljacking"[1]. FWIW, I don't notice it when I view the page, but that could be any number of OS/browser/extension permutations...

It is time for a federal breach notification law. There are 30+ State breach disclosure laws and Congress has been working on a Federal law to supersede them since 2005 with no success. A Federal law must be stricter that California 1386 or Massachusetts's law in order to be relevant. It will make compliance easier and companies like Uber will think twice about covering up breaches. Nothing as drastic as GDPR but something.
I bought some live lobsters to kill (humanely, with a knife to the brain) and steam. I only had him in my custody for a couple hours, but I got attached. I had a bad experience thinking about taking a life, and it kinda fucked me up. I don't think I'll be doing it again. If I had to kill everything I ate, I'd be vegetarian. But I have no problem buying it at the store.
>to spy on their employees and customers

To be fair, they weren't spying on their customers. They were fingerprinting phones which is against the Apple ToS.
I don't believe GDAX is creating fictitious trades. As I said they are the most law-abiding/professional. Plus they have 30,000 new users signing up everyday, so they certainly don't need to pretend they are successful.

Besides, I personally day-trade an average daily volume of ~$200k on GDAX's BTC/USD pair. And I am just one small fish. Imagine about a thousand other persons like me and it would easily explain their $250M daily volume...
Why? If the transactions logged on the blockchain contain annotations about your identity, you (as described by those annotations) would still own the house, only an impersonator matching those annotations as good as you would be able to challenge your ownership. On a blockchain without any fallbacks you would lose any ability to ever transfer ownership. As for future generations, will anyone could claim it but your heirs might have a better shot at it than a random impersonator.
If backflipping robots do the easier work, then what is left for humans is the more complex well paying work. When you remove the lower paying jobs from the average calculation, the average will rise. Indeed the article even states that at 89%, male prime-age [labour market] participation remains close to a record low. The article also has an opinion quote stating that some of the recent wage gains are misleading, because they have occurred in industries, such as textile manufacturing, in which employment continues to fall.
Moral of the story, use two factor auth on GitHub and AWS to prevent unauthorized access.
I feel like I've read almost this exact same post from you the last time Uber was in hot water. 'But what about the taxis' isn't a good defence, it's called a tu quoque fallacy and it ignores the existence of other competitors like Lyft and others who would surely fill the market gap if Uber were to disappear.

It's a really crappy and obvious distraction tactic, made worse by the addition of cliched libertarian sighs.
more likely, this goes head-to-head with flutter, firebase and other things that google tie to their platform.
I doubt the CEO of Uber is informed of every $100K transaction.
I'm not sure if that's an accurate analogy. Few politicians would want to find themselves working in the climate Trump has found in Washington, (if anything, he has proven that a groundswell of popular support can't unseat a party establishment). Also, it simply would be inaccurate to describe Uber's actions as impotent.

Edit: allow me to replace the word "found" with "created." I was just using a figure of speech.
Exactly - especially when you are employing privacy-conscious developers, it would be nearly impossible to keep it contained. Someone would leak it to the EFF. It's better business strategy for Apple to not defect.
To see adoption go as wide as current HODLERS hope BTC can go newbies need to be insulated from the type of insanity laid out in this article.

Like at bare minimum and for the survival of crypto nobody should trade on unaudited exchanges.

Or a step further despite Coinbase's scaling issues the fact that they have both insurance coverage and FDIC coverage on all accounts makes me much more likely to refer people interested in starting w Bitcoin there than anywhere else.

But this is also the kind of centralization that Crypto is designed to avoid.

TBF, it's called network-neutrality, not data-and-application-neutrality.

The latter isn't something traditional we're about to lose, but a novel goal for the future which is qualitatively and quantitatively different.

If you have really critical data, I expect you to run the latest possible kernel on part of your cluster. That allows you to see potential regressions and also to test your backup/recovery solution in case something that bad happens.
That's interesting. I've never been an insider and it was several years ago, but Google spoke in pretty glowing terms of their monorepo when I heard them talk about it. That's neither here nor their though, not my personal preference either to be fair.

As far as Git's killer feature I think decentralization is only one part of it. Being able to deal with the change graph directly is sometimes handy. And knowing the basis of the model, I find Git pretty easy to understand even when history gets fuzzy. Not sure but I think Darcs might be even better for that, just without the mindshare.
Oh there's more. Much more.
You're an ass. Comments like this make me hate people. Why does it even matter what their sexuality is? And why does that group of people need a special name
In that case, yes. But they were definitely spying on journalists, law enforcement and other potentially critical users
See my response to the sibling comment. Git's decentralization isn't its only upside.
simply because Rust/safe language does not prevent all bugs is not a reason to dis it.

It's been going on for years. Here is another article from last year: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/dec/04/elon-musk...

Also, Rush Limbaugh hates Musk (he has the #1 talk show since 1987... Since record-keeping began, so a lot of people are exposed to that negativity)
Because you believe all "traps" have the same sexual orientation, and you're afraid to simply ask them?
>The main argument is that small ISPs can't compete if Net Neutrality exists, because they can't build a network big enough for every customer to stream Netflix and YouTube. If they could have most of their customers blocked from those services, they could afford to offer it to the few that want to pay extra for it.

What? This logic is like saying, hey the only business model that should exist is one where we should only cater to those that pay the most (whether through ignorance or lack of options, etc).

>The other main argument against it is that it's not fair that Grandma, who only wants to read email once a day and look at the kids on Facebook, pays the same as the kid next door who is watching Netflix while playing an RTS while torrenting three movies.

It's not fair that grandma is going to be even more duped by the limited offerings of news and media that these companies will tighten their grip on through this move. Also the pipe is just sitting there. It's not like Comcast is manufacturing electrons and packets that get consumed by users.

Ask your friend to study other countries internet situations.
> Would we have the same warm fuzzy — "That guy's got it aaallll figured out" — feeling if NatGeo wrote the article about the once-owner, Michael Harte, bivouacking on his private island?

Probably more so, and it would be an even more interesting article in my opinion - 'Multimillionaire Banking Executive Gives It All up for a Solitary Island Life'. The existing article mostly left me thinking "what caused this guy to leave society". That same question of a multimillionaire in that situation could prove enlightening for many.
That's why they're not limiting access to Prime subscribers yet ;)
Yes, Amazon is taking share from online retailers AS WELL AS brick and mortar stores and malls. Hundreds of malls have closed, many others have lost major retail anchors and main street is getting hollowed out as stores here and there are picked off.
Well then free market is a useless theoretical concept that does not exist anywhere, has not existed anywhere and cannot exist in any non-trivial environment, and as such should not be discussed.
I'm probably casting ym net a bit too wide, so as to encompass all non-specialist internet-driven retail. Amazon uses these techniques a lot, I feel, albeit in a more subtle way. But I agree that's outside the scope of the original article's journalistic focus.

Hmmm... Why are Allen bolts made of hardened steel? Maybe a hexagon in mild steel would get stripped: it approximates a circle better than a square, so it could take less torque than a square.
I'm not a big fan of contracts of adhesion. I think that to give up important rights by contract should require a correspondingly conspicuous degree of solemnity, not a link at the bottom of a web page to terms of service that state they can be changed at any time by one party.

But the reality is that no matter how much contractual solemnity you require to let other people trade in your personal information, most people will do it in order to get credit. If to get a home loan you had to copy down a contract giving the bank the right to do credit monitoring in longhand with a fountain pen and sign it sixteen times in your own blood, my guess is that people would still be doing it, because credit monitoring really does make loans cheaper. So as a practical matter, I don't think the Equifaxes of the world would go away if the problem you point to was solved. Whereas there's no reason they shouldn't at least internalize the cost of losing your information through incompetence.
Exploring Simple Game Algorithms with Color Walk: Part 4
How many people do you know that listen to Rush Limbaugh or read Breitbart? Apparently none.

Personally, I like him quite a bit, but to be fair I know that outside of my own echo chamber of my news and social media feeds, that there are a lot of people who don't like him, and where that negativity is coming from.

To be fair, evil and spacemacs will only get you vim-like keybindings (which is all that vim-adventures gives you too), but there's a lot more to both editors than just keybindings.

There's even more to emacs than to vim, if you start using emacs for more than just editing, doing things that have no equivalent in vim (like reading email, browsing the web, using IRC, or reading RSS news feeds, etc). For every one of these extra things, there's new stuff to learn, and more time to spend configuring emacs first to just work with those things and then to customize it the way you like.

For me the time investment is well worth it, but there's no denying that it takes a lot of time. A lot of time.

Why counter factually? I agree that they can be largely ignored and it's the actions that should be observed. But if things go well, some good chart will be presented, if not, some other good chart will be presented. What's the reason to go the opposite way?
I also hated emacs when I first tried it, but once I started moving past my first programming language, I found myself sifting 30 IDEs and decided to give it an honest shot.

I don't use it for much else than programming, so my must-haves are for that purpose. Just the various built-in interpreters make it worth the price of learning.

> if the company is sued because of a bug you caused, we're suing you

It's totally implausible that companies are going to start regularly suing their engineers personally for writing bugs. They'd recover very little money and make it impossible to hire. Programmers already write bugs that create liability in businesses all over the world every day. Worry about something else.
This is a good video about the phenomenon, and specifically about how it affects research on psychoactive substances:

0.25% rates are only for plebs and noobs.

There are whale volume discounts available on almost every exchange. Mid-level whales can get 0% rate for trading over certain number of Bitcoins. Back in 2013-14 you could even get NEGATIVE rates for trading large amounts. I.e., if I trade a certain number of BTC, I get a rebate at the end of the month. High volume boosts exchange's rating and brings more customers, so it is a no brainer to offer rebates.

If you remember early days of Chinese exchanges, they were doing millions of coins a day in first week of their launch. That was clear example of Exchanges themselves doing wash trading. All volume data is available in public domain for verification.
That is basically GDAX. The fees are higher so it isn't worth it necessarily if you are day trading.
MBB meaning McKinsey, Bain, and BCG, the Big Three of consulting.

I think btc is being more and more recognized as a store of value rather than a currency. Gold/stocks also fail as currencies and are also prone to speculation bubbles.

Ya, no argument from me there. It's definitely a threat. I just don't think it should be stated as fact that they do run fractional reserves without evidence of that.

Come on. Even finding a definition of sexual harassment which people can agree on is notoriously difficult. Add to that the fact our society continues to push the idea that the men which women 'really want' are aggressive in initiating sexual situations. A man who does something as timid as asking whether he may kiss a girl can assure himself of inadequacy. (Not that there aren't plenty of exceptions to our media supporting this idea—but it's still implied pervasively. And some of it probably is just human nature.)

That said, even if it's not clear exactly where the line is—it's pretty easy to see that certain actions would be far across it, and that's largely what's come up in recent allegations. Though I don't think all of them have been super clear cut. 'Simple' is too strong here.
From https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/21/technology/uber-hack.html

> Two hackers had stolen data about the company’s riders and drivers — including phone numbers, email addresses and names — from a third-party server, putting the personal data of more than 57 million people at risk. The hackers approached Uber and demanded $100,000 to delete their copy of the data [...].

> Uber acquiesced to the demands. Under the orders of Travis Kalanick, who was then its chief executive, and Joe Sullivan, the chief security officer, the company paid the ransom.

> Then Uber went further. The company tracked down the hackers and pushed them to sign nondisclosure agreements [...]. To further conceal the damage, Uber executives also made it appear as if the payout had been part of a “bug bounty” [...].
I started off with Emacs and a month a later tried Vi. I found Vi to be a better fit for me than Emacs and haven't looked back since.
I have huge respect for both editors, they both are much older than me :) I wish I could write something that people would find useful for years to come.
Having said that, I love to jab(friendly) at Emacs users in my circle of friends and colleagues. Makes the conversation even more colourful with a bit of booze inside ;)

There is a very vocal minority of the cryptocurrency space that are against any companies that do follow the regulations.

There are thousands that are boycotting Coinbase because their KYC systems take too long, or their deposits/widthdraw take 2 weeks sometimes. Just today I was reading a thread on Reddit where someone was claiming to be currently sueing Coinbase because their account was closed due to them depositing from a bank account that didn't match the name on the coinbase account...

Or people don't use them because the fees are marginally higher.

I just don't get it. If I'm going to put my money somewhere, I want the place to be following every US law, and charge enough fees that I'm not worried they will go bankrupt or resort to shady tactics to make money.

This is a bad idea; it just raises the cost of entry for startups unnecessarily. Liability should be in proportion to harm actually done, and harm actually done is in proportion to how much personal data is compromised.
No, it’s not simple. It is incredibly complicated, and moreso than I can address in thiscomment. But, for one, these are not court trials. These are public relations events.
You're right, but it's worse than you say.

It's also legal data requirements. Many EU businesses ask that their data never leave Europe. How do you separate your product in to multiple continents and still work seamlessly.

It is not easy. Sometimes it is just easier to stand up everything you have in NA in the EU, and get a new tld (like .eu). It's a mess. Multi-cloud is HARD.
While I respect your opinion, it seems to me that your use of the internet is just as vulnerable to the net-neutrality doomsday scenario as everyone else's.

I've had mine for 11 years now. It started out mild and got much worse over the first year or two. It has since plateaued to high-pitched noise. I learned to tune it out most of the time, but occasionally I'd get those sudden extreme attacks that last for several seconds before subsiding to the normal level. Thankfully I've trained myself to cope with it, which as the article author mentions our brains are good at doing. I've been living mostly a normal life, but occasionally I get reminded of it if it's too quiet, or when reading an article like this.
But at the same time, radiation and exposure is more nuanced than when and where an event happened that might coincide with some later generalised health effects. Not all radiation is the same and radiation exposure does not always lead to negative health effects. Cancers occurring in a geo-specific region in correlation to an event don't point to one source.

The radionuclides expelled from Chernobyl are known and traceable, not being found in nature they can be detected easily. Knowing their decay chain over time and, later, the bioaccumulation of those isotopes (based on how people will come in to contact with them) you can start to figure out how tissues that bioaccumulate or come into contact with an alpha source could react.

What I am saying is, it's important to understand that its not just about 'radiation' may equal 'cancers'. We know how to understand this deeper than that, on how to measure and calculate health effects based on the specific isotopes and their related exposures on tissues, primarily internally — because alpha decay has the highest energy but is easily absorbed by paper or the outer epidermis, to do damage it has to be in close proximity to sensitive tissues. So its important to stick to those more calculable and verifiable hypothesis rather than broad 'radiation' and 'cancer' labels.
It's not his first transphobic remark. Not only does he call trans people "traps", but he also objects to using proper pronouns because "I don't like my speech being dictated". It's easy to guess what he's obsessed with and ashamed about, and it's not about his lack of ability to treat people with respect.
