Bingo. Ironically, the party that got screwed here is Experian since your PII is their saleable asset.

If you want to be mad, be mad about that, not the fact that somebody applied a publicly readable bucket policy to some data they paid tens of thousands of dollars for.
Many people don't realize why Google maps are so much better than anything out there. I would actually give lot of credit to Marissa Mayer who suddenly became in charge of maps from otherwise more higher position. Thanks to her influence in Google SLT and ability to make impressive arguments, she was able to make a case for maps as core pillar in Google's offering and consequently obtain huge investment and large talent pool to work on it. Creating these level of details world wide requires dazzling amount of investment that even some small governments can't afford. In most companies, you will not get green lighted for this because there is no real revenue coming in and its basically social charity in form of a free app. Now the reality is that you can't do self-driving cars without great maps and the day Google pulls its map app from iOS you can bet Apple is going to have a giant hole in their balance sheet.

There is in fact a preference to do that: Settings -> Privacy -> Tracking Protection, set to always.

Yeah conservation of matter, you need minerals other than carbon, oxygen and sunlight to make food therefore if human in the loop is introduced you need to take the human byproducts into the system as well
From the article:

Just 10 businesses and a handful of individual customers have kept the Belgian system going until now. It has been chiefly used by bailiffs, who had need of a system which provided legal guarantees of dispatch and receipt.

Would email programs supporting PGP fill this role?
This was definitely planned, only perhaps not in this kind of detail. The Geo organization's motto paralleled the company's (to organize the world's information, etc. etc.), only at a geospatial level.

The data you see in Google Maps came and probably still comes from a pipeline of pipelines that rebuild the whole planet on a regular schedule. Since we're talking about all of Earth, random stuff here and there could cause hiccups and delays. Information comes from all sorts of sources, including custom HW (streetview camera, etc.), flying their own planes, owning a satellite company for a few years, and so on.

In one shape or another, it all predates Tensorflow by years.
One way around that would be to start a new subsidiary that is mandated to focus on services, hire good people to run it, dont list it till its profitable and support it financially. Atleast that is one way to overcome the too big to innovate type weaknesses.
If Facebook decides the EU isn't worth its time, it leaves the door wide open for competitors to use the EU as a springboard, the way Chinese companies are doing in China. It's a very dangerous situation for them even if you ignore the vast lost market opportunities.
Yes, I know. But almost any object is hotter than the sky, especially if you are above cloud cover. If you own an IR thermometer, point it at the sky on a clear day to see what I mean (you'll get readings well below 0°F).

So just because the object is hotter than the sky & clouds doesn't mean much. It could be "room temperature" (say, an insect or fresh bird poo). Or it could be reflective, and simply be reflecting the heat of the plane or camera itself.

What would be helpful is to know the range of temperatures represented by that image. The object is overexposed, so at least we could get a lower bound on its temperature.
It's unreal that these will move at 5000. Assuming you don't need Xeon (which requires ECC) you can build a machine just as good for half that, easily.

My "side project" actually pays the bills yet I'm not sure if my wife will ever fully understand that, despite it technically being "work" (and despite some rare complaints/bad days, like anything else), I actually thrive off of the challenges and sincerely enjoy it. And so working >8 hours on it isn't just because I "have" to, it's often because the challenge is so fun & thrilling that I _want_ to.

Of course, balance is important and I won't try to fool anyone -- it's something I'll likely always be working to improve.
I agree that Apple QA seems to be getting worse. But in my experience Windows has its share of problems too. I have been using Ubuntu LTS without problems on an older notebook. Only use the MBP a couple of times a month. Some scanners, etc are still too difficult with Linux. But for everyday work Linux is far less hassle than either OS X or Windows. YMMV.

"myth, poetry, drama, mysticism, scientific thinking, political militancy, or social activism" are all alive and well. Whether we include them in 'philosophy' or not may be of importance for those seeking prestige or positions in these fields, but is a matter of little significance for the rest of us.

And there is also a need in this world for formalized thinking on fundamental questions. Not only has formal thinking often brought clarity and progress, formalism has a poetry of its own which poets know nothing about.
A couple of public blog posts made it obvious that Google flies planes.
These limitations are really a byproduct of the deal falling apart between Apple and Google. Apparently, Google wanted access to more user data in exchange for adding turn-by-turn directions to Google Maps. They could not reach a deal, so Apple Maps was hastily created and Google Maps was booted from the default image.

In the end I can understand the limitations on the lock screen because it can be tricky to figure out the right way to give third-party apps special permissions like that. This is not some kind of tacked-on limitation that Apple added, but instead it's something that didn't exist on iOS until Apple added it. Remember that Google Maps, at the time, didn't give turn by turn directions at all never mind on the lock screen. Given how cautious Apple has been with the iOS permissions model (compared to Android, for sure) this shouldn't be even slightly surprising.

The fact that you can't make Google Maps the default handler is stupid, though.
This is a total non sequitor, but huh, your last comment on this account was in 2012. Do you use others, or just only speak when you feel you have something incredibly cool (which this tidbit certainly is!) to add?
I think it's accurate to say our healthcare system is often loved and quite dear to our hearts as Canadians. (Canadian here.)

And, much like a beloved relative, our system has major annoyances and often keeps us waiting. (Can you still call Uncle Bob beloved after he shits the bed? I think you can.) But it's so core to the Canadian experience -- we all know, no matter what economic turns we might take, it's always there for us from birth to death, quirks and all. It's a constant and foundational.

I reckon by early adulthood many Canadians will have personally seen it help more loved ones than it harms (while asking for little or zero additional money) ... so I think the word beloved is reasonable.

I'd say our system is dear to my heart and that's synonymous with beloved.
Interesting, In my experience of trying to start a home aquaponics startup (and quickly failing) I found that it is very difficult for this to be small scale, i.e., places like growing power, green and gills, farmed here, which have a comercial aspect are more successful. And 2 it is not cost effective at all. While I loved watching the fish, the difficulty with the plants, lights, nutrients, and automation system was a nightmare that was barely rewarding in terms of produce quantity.
Red means high speed and it's sad to see almost no high speed in the u.s. sigh

The one from NY to Boston shouldn't even be called "high speed", if anyone has ridden in one before.

It's actually slower than driving!
I don't think the problem is scale, the problem is there are multi-exchanges for the same asset. You can't trade GOOG, or TSLA on both NYSE and the NASDAQ for precisely this reason - a run up on one exchange will cause the entirety of money to shift for arbitrage. This is the real problem they are facing, imho.

After watching that recent video by TechAltar where he speaks about the EU not having a lot of tech companies, I was feeling a bit low. But your point actually makes sense, and makes me think that perhaps it's for the best since the EU will actually have the political means to reign in big tech. companies - basically the big oil of this age.
I wonder what will be the next asset they will launch on coinbase. I sure can buy up now and wait :-)
Honestly I _hate_ Google Maps, but it seems like the best thing available. I wish they'd spend less time on building outlines and more time on making the UI not totally suck. Someone should make a maps startup that isn't awful

(note: these examples are from the web app, which I prefer, because the mobile app is infuriating to use except for driving directions)

For example if I google an address and click the link to Maps, there's no street view button. If I search for "food", the "current location" button disappears...so I have to manually scroll to wherever I am. If I search for a store or whatever in Google and then click the map, there's no current location OR street view!

Typing "{whatever} near {address}" works whenever it feels like working. Half the time I get a random address on {whatever} street.

The goddamn search overlay takes up about 3/4 of the screen if you accidentally click on something (and they make sure you do).

On to the app:

The audio driving directions have gotten better...so I give them credit there. I never drive with the display on, so audio directions are crucial.

If I'm walking around somewhere and I search for restaurants that's fine..but if I make the mistake of clicking on a restaurant I get a full-screen view of reviews and shit. The map totally disappears! I'm just trying to focus the goddamn thing so I can see where it is!
Be careful, the coding in free time is an interesting signal to be sure, but considering one engineer to be better than another purely on the basis that they code in their free time is anti-diverse

Anyone that knew when coinbase we’re adding could have done very well.
Not quite. I think "competition" is overly glorified, but it does some things well. In this context, routing around path dependence is a key benefit. The upstart competitor in a field doesn't have to "waste" a decade of investment & infrastructure to bypass a methodology that has reached its maximum utility. The old method was cheaper for the incumbent to maintain, no amount of good will and collaborative spirit would convince them to turn their back on it for an unproven alternative. Any industry that has ever been "disrupted" is an industry shaken out of path dependence
Make a proper argument for high speed rail. I think it's rare in the U.S. in part because it's not an idea which is popular with people who need to get around and move things. High speed rail is popular with government, since it's an attractive sophisticated infrastructure program, but (perhaps TGV aside) I don't think any high speed rail service could be considered a success in any real way.
Actually, no. Due to the thinness, I can add a protector that adds just enough so the thickness feels right to me. A thicker phone would necessitate a thicker protector that would make it difficult remove the phone from my front left pocket where I always carry it.
For most companies with IP clauses, the company owns 100% of the IP (and your company). Additionally, VCs won't invest if there are problems with the IP.

"modest" doesn't mean driving Teslas and eating out every night.

It means being able to afford the basics: housing, food, healthcare, transport, and still being able to have enough left over to build a 'rainy day' (emergency) fund.

And the reason "modest" rather than "minimal" is because one is living, the other is effective slavery.

People who cannot afford for one moment to stop are people who are on the edge of disaster.
Any (additional) misfortune that strikes - whether by their own actions or not - could send them from "surviving" to now being forced into debt, which while it might provide temporary relief, almost certainly means they are now in a downward cycle.

With a living wage, even if misfortune does drive them into debt - there's at least a better opportunity for them to work their way out.
The problem with “contributing” to a project that belongs to someone else, is that your contributions might be handily ignored, no matter how incredible and wonderful they may be.

And so, often, the only recourse to such an outcome is to roll your own from scratch.
I rely on OpenStreetMap these days.
Except for an initial incident where the OsmAnd app directed me to drive 50 kilometers out into the Baltic Sea (but only because I had accidentally downloaded a Polish map instead of a Scandinavian one), it has so far gotten me exactly where I wanted to go, every single time.

This in some contrast to the Google Maps navigator, which I have seen throwing some really weird surprises, including faulty info on the placement and nature of a major motorway exit.
I never meant me, personally. But a trans person, absolutely. Having to use a misgendered bathroom can not only be extremely uncomfortable, it can be extremely dangerous. A trans woman going into a men's room faces a very real threat of rape or assault.

And, quite frankly, being unable to empathise with those who are different than you kinda indicates to me you never were inclined to the left, and used that opening paragraph to drum up fake support.

He is a nutjob, always has been. And part of the stupidity seems to come with his job: Everyone sitting in that chair seems to believe that crime has to be reduced before all.

He asking for random access to every device is like the minister of agriculture asking for stable and higher milk prices. Expected.

He's unfortunately not just sputtering what he wants, he also wants stupid and dangerous things and likes to play the "think of the children" (his predecessor really liked that one), "fight the terrorism" cards.

Every country has loonies.
Is there any reason you’d advocate writing “typical” software?
>Things like having UBER banned for example in France or Germany completely throws me off.

Funny, why would they ban a company simply for breaking the law? It throws me off too.

In all seriousness, Uber's business model seems to be a mixture of disregard for labour and transportation regulations and of using their endless supply of investment to aggressively drive the prices down. Do you expect the governments to sit and watch?
> they're waiting four seconds to load the page

You make it sound like Firefox is just adding a wait for no reason.

The reality is that the page is asking Firefox to download dozens or hundreds of scripts [1]. Firefox needs to prioritize those loads somehow, because it generally doesn't want to open that many connections to the server in parallel. So it prioritizes the non-tracking bits over the tracking ones. If all the non-tracking bits are done loading, the trackers start loading at that point.

> This is like if the compiler generated loops with 4000ms sleeps

No, it's more like if your OS scheduler decided to prioritize some applications over others based on how much it thinks you care about them (e.g. based on whether they're showing any UI, or based on whether they're being detected as viruses by the virus scanner).

[1] For example, http://www.cnn.com/ shows 93 requests for scripts in the network panel in Firefox. If I enable tracking protection, that drops to 37 requests.

Or for another example, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news has 67 script requests and only 20 with tracking protection enabled.

Or for another example, https://www.nytimes.com/ has 150 script requests and only 40 with tracking protection enabled.
No I didn't say that he's a race realism pusher, what I'm saying is that it reads like the kind of shit you'd see someone who is write. I'm not sure if you're new to the internet or not but there is a major culture war happening these days, and there is a lot of fighting over free speech that is just a proxy for other agendas.
New farmers tend to disregard the often lengthy process of establishing a well bred fauna of biological filtration similar to a freshwater fish tank. It helps to reduce rot in the roots and nutrient concentration and uptake issues. Similar lessons can be learned in the field of Tilapia farming as a means of a stage of the water treatment system.
Better for whom?
I find it interesting that the concepts of generators being added to languages after the fact (that is not a fundamental part of the language) leads to such complex difficulties in their use.

Icon and UnIcon are examples where generators and co-expressions are fundamental to the language and so are used throughout most of your programs as a natural part of writing solutions to the problems being solved.

I find it interesting that iterators are such a big thing when they are just generators in Icon/UnIcon. I have seen many examples written in JS where map and lambda functions are used and the equivalent in Icon/UnIcon is a simple generator to get the same results.

Icon has been around since the early 80's (as the successor of SNOBOL4) and UnIcon as a separate project since around 2000. I should remark that the UnIcon translates UnIcon programs to Icon.

Goes to show that there is still much life in some of these older languages.
The amusing thing is that although Android theoretically allows you to change your default map application, no one would do that since Google Maps is installed by default, and it's so much better than anything else out there (as illustrated by the article above).
You say more about BAT sourness? Here, twitter DM, whatever works. Thanks.
Isn't it just as wasteful to have twice as many designers & programmers & market researchers & behavioral researchers working on two competing UX systems?
Sure it is. Find a way to lock down all user access and demand that Google and Microsoft get paid or your data gets it. Mozilla will do whatever Google says. Apple doesn't care as much, a new core tech means a new generation of iPhone/iPad/iPod/iHateThisNamingConvention, which means more money for them.
Although this bill has large number of co-sponsors from both sides (D-163, R-139), I'm not very hopeful. The same bill (HR 3012) passed house in 2011 (Y-389, N-15) but died quietly in the Senate subcommittee. Despite all the rhetoric and name-calling, neither party seems genuinely interested in immigration reform.
This isn't the stock market, this is unregulated.
Fits pretty good! Probably I should add a description why I didn't like certain websites. Also the comment of KamelAufAbwegen hits the nail on the head
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15958534

For me it was astonishing in how many different ways the Kantons publish this data and also how horrible certain websites are. Some publish a nice simple HTML table with all data, the best ones even publish an excel file. Like this, most people at least could generate a series letter in word.

Many websites are an insane mess of javascript and tons of requests for even the simplest informations. Some websites are insane slow. Some websites seem to have a broken server and every N-th request fails. Some are even barely navigatable by a human. And then I think how much I probably paid for that horrible piece of software with my taxes.
It wasn't like that the last two winters fortunately
Pretty much. I was still using the original Galaxy S when the Galaxy S6 was the hot new toy. I was able to use it despite its archaic hardware on the latest versions of Android because I forced the CPU to always run at maximum speed instead of throttling. I couldn't get around the minimal amount of RAM that came installed with the phone, but the CPU trick helped immensely day to day.
I like blog posts like this in theory (I too, learned Redux by making a mental mapping of MVC <-> Redux) but when it's all said and done, it truly breaks down quite rapidly. Honestly this could have been 'Elixir GenServer Explained to Javascript Developers' based on how unspecific to Redux most of the post is, and it would possibly more helpful.
"Why not let anyone use any toilet regardless of identity?"

That's the idea behind single person restroom facilities, and it's a pretty good one. Unfortunately, in many places it just isn't feasible to renovate the existing facilities. And having a multi user restroom not be set up like that exposes people to the same dangers as if a trans woman was forced to use the men's room.
I agree the browser's job should be to process requests as quickly as possible.

If the web page asks for 150 scripts to be loaded (e.g. that's what https://www.nytimes.com does right now), what is the fastest way to load them? "All in parallel" is not the right answer, so you end up prioritizing. At that point, maybe you want to prioritize the 40 non-tracking scripts (how many get loaded if I enable tracking protection in Firefox on that site) over the 110 tracking ones.
The more pedestrian reason for Google's investment for its own maps was that the licensing costs for data to use in turn-by-turn navigation, which is many times as expensive compared to simpler uses, were going to skyrocket once mobile adoption took off as projected.

You could give millions or billions to TomTom, which is what Apple has been doing, or you could pour the same amounts into creating your own datasets, allowing you to do a lot more than navigation, i.e. anything.
