I believe his point with 'hostile' is to choose nations where they would be both likely and able to say 'no' should the host nation of an individual request sensitive information on the individual in question.

For instance Switzerland had some of the most secure and private banking in the world. It was actually a criminal act in Switzerland to reveal the name of an account holder - to anybody, including governments. And so if the US were to request information on a possible US account holder, they would be likely to say no. But given the influence of the US on both Switzerland and on the nations it most heavily depends upon, they've proven themselves unable to say no, and ended up passing all sorts of special laws, just to bend over to US requests that infringed their nation laws and more generally their sovereignty.

Another interesting example with Switzerland is Champagne. Champagne, Switzerland has been making a local wine known as Champagne since the 9th century. Many centuries before the champagne of France even existed. In 2004 the EU told them to stop using the name. And again even if they were likely to say no, they would be unable to do so. As another interesting aside Champagne, using the ubiquitous méthode champenoise, was not invented in France. It was created by an Englishman. What a sordid tale that little drink has!

Would Finland be likely to say no? I don't know - I have very little knowledge of the security arrangements between Finland and the US. Would they be able to say no to the US? Not a chance.
Facebook "research" --> this is sooooo cute!
You are of course right that it can't "optimize for location" of the listener. But it can, at least theoretically, estimate the "environment acoustics" from its own standpoint and somehow adjust itself to it. I'm not claiming it does, it doesn't fit much to the Apple's concept of "it works as soon as you plug it in." So some honest review is still needed.

350 USD is expensive, but it "competes" with a lot of the small consumer products that have just one or two speakers, one amplifier and still cost, for example, in the range of 200 USD. Apple can of course easily double the price when competing with them.

It's simply a different market: a lot of people do want the small device that "just" works in the given (possibly small and with "wrong" configuration) room, even if making the room to be good for the sound is the best way.

CuPy itself is just a framework, and you could slot TC in as a thing that generates operators for it. CuPy also famously has support for inline CUDA kernels; the equivalent TC kernels are shorter and autotunable.
For a while, you'd be asked for your post code when buying TV equipment (UK). Whilst it wasn't a legal requirement to provide, a lot of places would be really awkward about it if you didn't. I took a small amount of satisfaction in providing the Downing Street post code.

It's now no longer an issue as companies aren't required to ask for and forward that data to TVL so they don't ask (and I'm probably ordering online so they have it anyway).
So pretty good then? Apple Watch is doing extremely well.

Just like you cannot fathom how Bitcoin can be useful in February of 2018, 99.9% of the world population couldn't fathom how Internet would take off back then when it launched. That was why it was not mainstream for a long time until it took off.

I am talking about the feature whereby any app that can print can print directly to Evernote, as a PDF. This feature is very useful, though web clipper and the Sharing extension offer workarounds for some applications.

And the pictures of NSA employees opening parcels to modify the hardware before it gets shipped to certain targets immediatly comes to my mind.

That being said if you don’t control the software, modifying manually a handful of devices doesn’t scale. If you modify all of them the chance that you will be spotted is very high. If you control the software and it is encrypted / not readable, you can backdoor all devices of a whole country. So I can see how it is a step up in term of threat level.
The e-Golf has a range of 125 miles (200 km). The standard model 3 has a range of 220 miles. The upgrade has a range of 310 miles. The model S and Y have even longer ranges. Now, if VW had a charging network, that would be less of an issue, but they also don't have that yet.

VW does not have a competitive EV yet.

you don't want the only source of essential infrastructure to be an adversary so the "economic" argument may also be strategic but in a different way.
Simply put your commute time is artificially low, by cities designed to be cheap for driving and owning a car.

Your anecdote is fine and all, but those problems are worse if you use a car, and they are cheaper to fix in public transport since it reallyis problem in the organization and prioritization of resourcse rather than sunk costs in infrastructure and space.
So, enable Netflix notifications but disable Netflix notifications at a system level? Seems like a silly reason to prefer iOS, considering every modern Android has the same feature.
Getting this whole "silicon valley tv show" vibe here, where it's the VR company that gets to much hype. Almost seems like they are too deep in and need to keep going hoping it will be accepted in the market.

Still think AR has a lot more potential than VR in the long run. Just need to get that "Yes!" moment where the technology has a perfect fit and use for it.
Or V/U/SHF - there's this big, passive repeater in the sky known as the Moon.

(Earth-Moon-Earth communication, or moonbounce, is basically to aim your antennas at the Moon and blast as much RF as you can muster at it, in the hopes that someone will pick up your echoes as the arrive back at Earth 2.5 seconds later.)

Anyone having the Moon over their horizon at the same time as Australia does should have a fair shot at working an Aussie at 144MHz and above.
Can you show me where this is pretty clear? Not completely doubting you, but I am a bit skeptical that they would get into the cat-and-mouse game of ad blocker detection.

I suspect that its slightly different. Remember that Google uses a second-price auction for AdWords. The interesting thing about second price auctions is that you need auction density to be high to ensure that revenue is made, which means that Google have an incentive to get all of their customers trying to spend more, even if they are small they can still push up the prices for the advertisers with loads of money.

Additionally, if I were Google I would care a lot more about the millions of small advertisers as they represent a much safer way to make billions of dollars (less support required and you are less beholden to a small number of agencies/advertisers who would tend to be difficult to deal with).
If some of your contacts have this enabled then they can rebuild the network.

There was a case not so long ago where unrelated patients of a psychiatrist were suggested as friend to each other. The only possible link is that they all had the psychiatrist in their contact or vice-versa. The friending suggestion by itself was an outing of private medical information.

The e-up has a range of 99 miles. That might impress VW who says:

"One charge, 99 miles. The e-up!’s impressive range makes it perfect for day to day driving."

But it's less than half of the standard Tesla Model 3. It's simply not enough. What is that after a couple of years or in cold weather. 80 miles? You will be driving around with constant range anxiety, even if you are just in the city.
I'm honored that you think I'm that important.

The hypothetical choice is, would I rather have the US or China listening to my phone, if I had to choose one, and "none of the above" was not an option.

It is not easy to assassinate someone in another continent, and I don't live in China.

There's also the chance that the assassination will fail, and even backfire, where the further investigation might reveal agent identities. I'm just not that worthwhile to possibly waste those resources.
Or if the relationship between China and the US becomes more confrontational, China effectively controls a large part of the US infrastructure which becomes a strategic risk. Kind of a nuclear option (no country would ever import anything running on electricity ever again from china if they were to do that).
You don't need to read everything for it to be useful. I get email reminders of things I need to do - I don't need to read past the subject line (same with shipping notifications), and purchase receipts are useful to keep in case there is a problem (you have a searchable record of when/where you bought it) but don't need to be actively read.

There's a high percentage of emails I get that I don't get any extra value from actually reading them, but I would lose value by not getting them at all.

The probability of failure should already be factored into the term "expected return"

Deep Feature Synthesis: How Automated Feature Engineering Works
Keep in mind if more people were proactive about their own digital landscapes, things like LineageOS and open source software would not seem like second rate diminished quality of life to people like you.

Oh fuck it I was trying to be nice but this has got me going. In my opinion it's certifiably dillusional to think that Google and Facebook equate to a higher quality of life. Holy shit that's crazy. It's bonafide brainwash.

I've severely scaled back my dependence on Facebook and Google the last few years and I could not be happier. It's made me pursue real social interactions again. My personal laptop is poewered primarily by free and open source software and in the last year or so has become so smooth it's putting macOS to shame (I am not making that up for the sake of argument).

Idk what has convinced you that Facebook and Google equal better life, but I can only pray you wake up some day and remember how to live life that isn't managed by someone else's server...

I should add I don't disagree with society regulating behavior that negatively impacts society, but I don't think your chosen method of arguing that point is intellectually sound. And in this case I really find it hard to imagine how you'd regulate user experience of an opt in service such as these companies are providing.
Please read the cited FAQ entry again:

> On the other hand, own domains need to be registered to the name and address of a person. If you were able to use own domains with us, this would affect the entire concept of Posteo: we would need to start saving user information for all customers who use their own domains with us – and to provide these to the Federal Network Agency to be provided on request to the authorities.
And because I read "listening in" literally, as intercepting audio, rather than metaphorically as being able to intercept all traffic.

Also, the US has blackmailed people, like the FBI attempt to blackmail Martin Luther King Jr. We know the US gathers the porn habits of people who it considers might be a threat, including of a US person (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/26/nsa-porn-muslims_n... ).

So really it's a matter of balancing the odds. The odds are low that either government will care about me. It feels more likely that my life will be upended by a mistake, like what happened with Brandon Mayfield, and a mistake by the US government is far more likely to affect me than a mistake by the Chinese government.
The song, thankfully, did not autoplay on my desktop. But then again, my daily browser nowadays is Safari on MacOS.

Looks like Chrome does autoplay, so does Firefox.

I'm kinda liking how Safari handles privacy, tracker blocking, and autoplay blocking.
>A good reminder that Google's customers are actually advertisers, whereas Apple's customers are the end-user.

A good way to see this in action is to try to get end user technical support from both companies.

How does a user get assistance from a human being at Google when they have problems with their personal Gmail account, for example?

Apple gives it's customers the ability to walk into it's stores and get one on one help, or to talk to actual human beings in technical support over the telephone.
It's all good if you are in a position to say no.

Hello everybody, this is the first version of our WIP project. Users of the service can create projects, add images to them and get a URL to a public page where the images will be simply and beautifully displayed.

Something thin and flexible won't protect against stabbing very well; the knife will just drive the material into the body.

The more time spent on optimizing for one email client, the less time spent on optimizing for an other.

Hands up if you (like me) have skipped coding the text/plain part of an email template and sent out multipart emails with no or empty text/plain.

Developers are lazy, but business minded people will push amphtml because they think it's an edge. If it becomes a thing, people will create webpages instead of emails and skip proper testing. (Again, myself probably included).
While I understand your sentiment, jQuery was never just about selecting elements in a simple manner — it took care of countless browser bugs and inconsistencies for you, which is why it became as popular as it did. Not to mention the large plugin ecosystem, which you may have loved or hated, depending on your preference.
Then why isn't Fastmail adding some kind of end-to-end encryption at least for its own users? Shouldn't our memories be private (unless we choose otherwise)?

CEO of the startup I worked at had a child early in the process, and it was indeed incredibly hard for them individuallly and strained the marriage. After a few years of struggle, the startup was acquired, which was followed by a few years of comparatively relaxed (golden-handcuffed) work at the company that bought us. It paid for a new house that fit their family in an area with one of the best school systems in the country. I’m certain that he and his wife don’t regret it. He had worked for big companies before, had an insight about the industry he could bet on, so it was his maybe best shot at fulfilling a NEED to build a new company like his heroes did. It happened to ‘succeed’ in the financial sense, but his wife gets it either way, and his kid will benefit from growing up with confident, driven, risk-taking people as parents.

It’s hard for me to understand how most people in this thread, who I presume are super rigorous regarding their degrees of uncertainty about various things at work, have a clear answer for what everyone else should do in some barely specified situation.

I don’t know how much validation the code does, but every single number in your tax forms is related to another by some statement in the law, and these change constantly. Validating them means codifying every single rule.

Germany figured this out a while ago and built a rule engine with GUI and small DSL where the lawyers can input tax rules to the database - meaning better code and you can emit for any platform. It’s called ElsterRules (Elster is the online tax filing program) and runs even in your browser...

That sort-of makes sense for why they do not offer you domains, but not why they do not have a "bring your own domain" plan (like e.g. mailbox does). There somewhere being a registrar knowing who I am doesn't change what they have to do, they do not need to have or look at that data in any way.
I suspect facebook is doing an even sinister version of this in India. It runs what is called an free mobile authentication service for startup called Account kit. A lot of apps use it to authenticate mobile numbers because it s free.

However, I suspect that facebooks intention behind this are not charitable at all. With this service facebook is able to get your phone number even if you dont give it to it. As long as you have installed any app on your mobile phone which uses Account kit to authenticate, facebook will be able to get your phone number and associate with your facebook account.

We talk about how Uber has lost the way, but somehow Facebook escapes all criticism. I think facebook is so lost at this point that they might as well shut the company down and go home.
