I wonder how the neckband speakers that Bose has would work for biking? These wrap around and put speakers down by your shoulders, so they aren't for private listening, but they also aren't in your ear, so I would think that they'd be good for still hearing your surroundings too.
Quick fix: don't rely on Facebook to be in touch with your friends.
I grew up next to (literally) the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters. Never once did I feel unsafe there, or anywhere else in Japan. It really is a night and day difference.
It's hard to forgive. I believe that ethical branding exists, and Mozilla was able to create an emotional relationship with many people, that's why this issue hurts deep for many.

When I can't uninstall the Google Plus app from my Nexus 5 I get mad, when Apple put that U2 album on every iPhone I laughed, but this was different, it was disappointing, I feel the same vibes when I do an Ubuntu fresh install and see those Amazon links, but this is even more unexpected, I just can't believe it when I read it, for me, it can be told as a joke on when Mozilla lost his principles, I just can't see it as a silly marketing decision, sorry.

For the people who also get emotional, I encourage to think in all the good stuff that Mozilla did, and try to forgive this big conceptual mistake, but don't try to forget about it.

Note: My English isn't the best and I'm from my phone.
But I think those are gauche as well.

But actually I realised that I do think there is something wrong with pop culture references. They’re inside jokes. They exclude people who don’t watch the same things as you. They reinforce the tech bubble and frustrate people who don’t understand.

I read a comment by someone who’s lecturer was confusing them by talking about the master theorem as the doctor theorem because he liked Doctor Who! The poor guy was embarrassed because he didn’t get it.

They’re also just dull! Wow you watch that same TV show as me? Wow incredible. How wacky are we.
I think the large wine glasses have less to do with imitating the French, and more to do with the belief that they enhance the experience of drinking red wines.

Also, you seem to be suggesting here that since the French don't do it, then it isn't refined. Perhaps you are the one who is confused about the definition of "refined"?
Right, that's what I meant. If video were subject to 2-party consent rules like audio, many public security cameras (such as those that overwatch a parking lot) might be illegal, particularly without signage.

With audio, 2-party consent makes it illegal to record audio anywhere, including public places, without informing the other party.
> You can't shame or guilt trip people into doing the right thing. It never works.

I don't know that I'd say that.

Great job folks!
After reading the FCC Chairman's idea of "the Internet" in his Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (below), I think maybe a better plan would be to rescue the internet from the web. Every example he references of internet usage is web usage or email. He does mention "DNS and caching" but in the context of the potential effect of removing these from the services available to users. (para. 37)

The general tone of the NPRM seems to be that an ISP can and will block or throttle any non-web or non-email traffic. That could include any peer-to-peer innovations that seek to restore the original functionality of the internet, such as those mentioned by the author.

On the contrary, the dissent by Commissioner Clyburn specifically mentions Skype as an example of internet usage. He believes the traditional notion of "permission-less innovation" is under threat from the Chairman's proposed approach.

https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-17-60A1.pd...

The author highlights the importance of distinguishing "the web" from the internet. Perhaps nothing is more important. The internet has more value than the web. The web is severely limited in functionality. The internet, still underexploited in its potential, does not suffer from the same limitations.
first off , if you turn off ads on disqus there are no 3rd party requests. maybe that will change with the new owners but it's disingenuous to claim disqus is doing something bad here when there's an option to turn it off.

Otherwise the number one reason I stated using disqus is spam. I wrote my own blogging and comment system in 2000. When that got spammed I switched to WordPress around 2008. Even with their anti-spam features I got tons of comment spam. I switched to disqus many years ago and I think I've had no more than 2 spam comments per year since.

Disqus benefits from being everywhere in that it can see a bad actor and prevent them from being bad everywhere else. How will this system handle that?

GP did not say that, even indirectly.

A more charitable interpretation of GP's post could be, "Facebook gives you the illusion you're keeping in touch with friends, but it's just that—an illusion. You still need to manually keep in touch."

There's never going to be an algorithm that will be able to substitute for "traditional" relationships.

It’s not victim blaming when you’re trying to pull a positive lesson from someone else’s tragedy.

And I might add, Facebook’s value proposition is about getting personal details about individuals and compiling that into billions of dossiers valued by advertisers. If you’re not the customer, you’re the product.
That is the right way to say it.

It was originally just named Postgres, as in Post Ingres, because it evolved from the Ingres database project.

I love Ruby, but Python is super simple to learn. I haven't spent enough time with Python to do anything super cool with it, but it does seem to be more consistent in terms of the code you will read.

I also think that once you learn Python, a lot of other languages' syntax (such as Go and C# for me) becomes more approachable.

You said you were genuinely curious how people could learn matrices without the geometry. I (and others here) gave multiple examples of how that could happen, but you're arguing. Are you really curious, or was your question rhetorical? Do you not believe it's possible that anyone could have learned math in a different order than you did?

Despite your objection, it's a fact that matrices for systems of equations and neural networks both do not have a naturally geometric interpretation. Nor do many of the applications used in my math book: electrical networks, traffic flow, models of commodity markets, etc. You are free to ignore that, but if you do, it might not help you understand why some people learned matrices without a geometric context.

You are looking at a different book than I am. I have 7th edition Kreyszig. I didn't say geometry was absent from the book, I said it was absent from the first quarter/semester of linear algebra in my book. There is geometry in the book, but many students that went through college the same time I did could easily have taken the minimum requirement, one quarter of math and stopped there.

I don't know about yours, but my high school math introduced solving systems of linear equations. It did not cover orthonormal bases or rotations or affine transforms or homogeneous coordinates.

How does the OP know that she actually peruses FB for all of her new feed's content?

https://twitter.com/Hellchick/status/942864030649036800

> Now, I'm a meticulous FB feed peruser. I always set it to Most Recent and browse until I see the stuff I saw last time. I keep up.

Despite her claim here, it's possible that she missed her friend's post because her surveillance of her own feed is likely to be imperfect, especially if she has a non-trivial number of friends.

edit: I bring this up because, ostensibly, the whole point of FB's (or any social network's) "most important" algorithm is to mitigate the problem of how "most recent" can be too overwhelming to consume if you have a non-trivial number of friends. If OP has a lot of friends, such that there are a few dozen new items per day on her newsfeed, even if she were meticulously reading her feed, daily, there's no guarantee that she didn't miss the post because of imperfectly skimming them. That no one else in her social circle noticed isn't much proof since, as a mutual friend admits, they don't know how many of them are active on FB: https://twitter.com/FRENDEN/status/942918637576441857

That said, I swear I've seen FB's algorithm point out users who have posted for the first time in a long while. This kind of notification/signal presumably would not be part of a "Most Recent" timeline:

I've taken to making the change as a fixup commit and leaving it in the PR for code review. Then when the changes are approved a quick `git rebase -i --auto-squash` cleans everything up before merging the branch back into `develop`.
An Idle Mind Is the Devil's Workshop
To regain my confidence mozilla would have to release a real audit log about how this happened. Because to me it looks like some Hollywood executive is close to someone high up at mozilla, and that individual at Mozilla shoved an update straight past QA, something which is unacceptable in such a security critical piece of software.

Look I get it, companies make mistakes. Quantum was amazing. A lot of Mozilla work is amazing. But now I know this is something I can expect from Mozilla, and not from Google chrome.
As an aside, I liked your response to being wrong and would totally work with you.

I'm not sure being called out for claiming that Detroit was once the largest city in the United States is "nitpicking." That's just a factually wrong statement, and as a Detroit native, sets up a narrative (unintentionally, I'm guessing) that we fell from grace even harder than we did. "Detroit was once larger than New York City" is an implied claim that would unjustly amplify the collapse of Detroit to an audience that doesn't know better, particularly internationally. We fell, but not that hard.

I understood your underlying point, but I don't think the correction is attempting to nitpick you, just striving for accuracy.
That's a completely absurd claim. Satellite measurement of Arctic sea ice coverage for 2017 is currently tracking significantly higher than in 2016. [1] Also, in context of sea ice coverage reduction due to climate change -- when the Vikings colonized Greenland a thousand years ago they were able to easily navigate there because there was less sea ice then than there has been in modern times.

A wise man once told me, you can delegate authority but you cannot delegate responsibility. It is the responsibility of every individual to utilize their capacity for critical thinking.
Exactly. I quit a job where I was paid minimum plus tips, but it's not enough. The restaurant should pay more than minimum wage.

Profits should be split, regardless of how tips are handled.

They try to keep the cost of food at 30%, as is common in business. COG around 1/3 or less.

So when we have a really busy night, there is excess profit relative to the amount of tips.

Assuming tips are a constant percentage of sales, the amount we earn extra is proportionate to sales.

But there is a certain minimum number of sales the owner must reach to break even. At a certain volume, profit accelerates further, but tips are still relatively constant.

So my desire would be for a restaurant to split excess revenues more equitably in addition to whatever baseline wage they set.
Yeah, training an algorithm on someone hardly qualifies as “being there” for them.
For me, I just ignore the break and set up a new 25 minutes. The 25 minutes is just to build an easily achievable target to start your "productive part of the day". If I'm in the flow state, I just cancel the 5 minute rest and do 25 minutes again.

"We took immediate actions to correct this" - no you didn't, you immediately tried to justify it!

Since having a kid myself, I've pretty much settled on the notion that it's an evolutionary trick: since you don't sleep much, you don't remember the hellish times during those early months (years?), so you're willing to have a second – or third, or fourth – kid down the road.

It may be your definition, but you're being EXTREMELY presumptive to think you get to make that definition for others.

Why do you feel like you get to decide how others experience friendship?
Network Pivoting Techniques
I agree. I split Pomodoro time between coding/work related tasks and "soft skills"/non-work related but learning experiences (reading personal development books, cooking/reading about cooking). I just try to maximize "how much time did I spend learning things today" and having numbers is a nice way to keep track of that.
Drone is an open source CI/CD alternative.
It’s very sad that they reset some privacy preferences on updates. It can be explained by incompetence or bad faith, but coming from Mozilla I'd rather assume incompetence.
Okay first of all - you're commenting on the completely wrong post.

Secondly, in reference to the story you are commenting about, she says in the thread that she always consumes her feed until she sees repeats. Not to mention that she says none of the people in that social circle saw the post. At some point, if Facebook is pushing something down that many spots, it is the same as never showing it. Everyone's attention span is limited.

Perhaps, but does the size of the blockchain (data and network bandwidth) scale as well?

Here's[1] a rough estimate of the growth of data on Steem.

Think of facebook like an organism subject to evolutionary pressures. The evolutionary pressures that matter to facebook are maintaining "engagement" and through that ad revenue. Note that what matters to FB isn't engagement between you and your friends, just between you and it. So it doesn't matter to them how poor the algorithm is. The only thing that matters is how many minutes or hours a day you spend on the site.
In its default configuration Chrome's sync service uses transport-only encryption, not end-to-end, so that Google can read all your history, cookies, and so on. Their privacy policy [0] allows Google to mine this data for its own purposes. I would wager a very, very small proportion of Chrome's userbase manually enables the end-to-end sync encryption option buried in the settings; even technically-minded friends I've told about this are usually surprised.

So Chrome's privacy settings are already broken by default, in nearly the worst way they could be.

My best guess is that the commit metadata (particularly, message) is missing. You could always have it be "(uncommited, staged changes)" though, and that's probably descriptive enough. (I agree with you on the whole: having the staged data be a commit makes things conceptually much simpler.)

My other guess is that the "index" (the other name for the staging area) is also used for conflicts during merges & rebases, and that somehow plays into the problem of making it an actual commit. (But again, this comes across more as an excuse than a reason: I don't any viable reason why the staged changes can't still be an actual commit, and the merge conflict data just stored as a separate structure.)

That, or the person who added it just didn't think of it, or couldn't do it due to backwards compatibility.
Do any of them have a decent chance of success? Or are they doomed to struggle to copy chromes features. Doomed to break because no one tests against them?
our society is sick.
"- It's easy to keep files uncommitted for long periods of time intentionally, without slowing down my workflow."
"- My commit time is usually much faster than coworkers, with higher accuracy (less frequent accidental commits, etc.)"

Do you mean that as "not committed", or "not pushed"?

If you mean not committed, then why is it a good thing? You should be committing often. Then you push after you are satisfied. It is much easier to revert mistakes that way.
Pshaw. I use a psychic connection. If you can't contact them psychically, how close are you really?
you may have seen it but there is a really scary Ted talk suggesting that it's possible Facebook is using deep learning techniques to optimize for engagement and they have no idea why it picks what it picks but it's possible making people choose sides and argue happens to be the best way to meet its goals

Maybe it's both?

This move is a complete slap-to-the-face for everything that Mozilla and Firefox supposedly stands for, and would be heartbreaking for the developers to hear that this is going on in the wake of all the work around "Quantum" and everything else they've won with recently.

But really, this Mr Robot news went no further than an article on The Verge (I presume it even got there?). More importantly, those that care are able to think critically of the situation and don't really have anywhere better to go.
Why Big Tech wants to keep the net neutral
1. Git LFS is not part of Git. It's an unofficial extension, despite the name. I've got my own qualms about Git, but that's like complaining about GitHub's forking model as a reason Git is bad.

2. Microsoft uses Git in single large-scale mono repo form, for - believe it or not - Windows. It clocks in at about 3.5 million files, and a full clone weighs in at 300GB:

I really doubt money had much to do with this. It was meant to feature into a broader cross-promotional, privacy-themed campaign between Mr. Robot and Firefox, that exposed the latter to the former's viewing audience.
