The Reddit example extends to Android as a whole - I can't speak to Apple iOS due to inexperience.

Browsing websites with a companion app always prompts you to view in the app or install the app, and the presentation is always biased toward doing so instead of declining. I wish there was an option to indicate that you don't want to be prompted in this fashion in the future - either all around, or to have it remember specific apps that you don't want to install.

It really is a persistent annoyance. The Reddit website in full desktop mode has also recently been pestering users about logging in, and it does so every time you navigate to the site if you aren't already logged in to an existing account.

It is really quite annoying, and has actively caused me to use the site less. I'm much less likely to use a timesink or unfocused browsing activity if I'm being pestered while doing so. I imagine that this type of activity is a significant portion of the whole for such websites, so it really seems disingenuous, unless their long-term plan is to pull a Facebook and focus on revenue through selling user data to third parties (which I imagine is most likely the case).
you likely write a lot more code than security/kernel-hardening professionals though. they just likely spend more of their time reviewing and researching than coding
> Each Facebook deleter must invent new ways to live without Facebook; the deleters are the pioneers, the vanguard of a new kind of literate, informed, proud digital citizenry. They are inventing on behalf of all of us.

This argument alone has convinced me to delete my facebook account. I was a bit skeptical about missing on updates but then it's on us to develop, find and use the better alternatives to boost adoption.
Like it or not the US has at least the capacity to handle nukes with responsibility and to produce “safe” nukes.
It’s also has a well defined and stable chain of command and government.

The reason the world shakes when India and Pakistan are squabbling is because thier nukes are not up to standards they likely have less failsafe than what the US had during WW2, they lack the required central command structure and launch capability lies within the hands of field commanders it’s quite different than what the established nuclear powers have.

This whole moral relativism has to stop.

Their CFO, Ruth Porat, publicly wept at the weekly company meeting when Clinton lost. Google also heavily censored their otherwise automatic search autocomplete so it doesn’t bring up negative suggestions for HRC. No such courtesy was afforded to Trump. Bing, to their credit, did not censor either.
I'm all for equal enforcement of trade issues so I'm not really sure who you are arguing against here. It's also a good time to call the US out on their problems.

I am expressing my point angrily as an humanist rant.

Avoiding nationalism is exactly what I would like to see here.

Good for you to call me out on my manners, but, as we in the "international" community are quite used by now, rules are only reminded when US susceptibilities are hurt.

California remains the center because the companies are already headquartered there due to decisions made 50 years ago by the military for radar technology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTC_RxWN_xo That's despite it's often idiotic regulations driven by populist ignorance.

A governance policy in favor of developments of new technology most certainly can have an impact over time.

Oh, red carpet for bad actors? Where is it that Uber is headquartered again? And doesn't Waymo also test in Arizona?
A look back at how Nintendo created the 3DS and its innovative hardware
I'm having flashbacks here, but what I remember at that time was concern that if Google paid Sun, they'd be setting a precedent that way. There was a sigh of relief when they didn't, at least from some, because, regardless of how much better of a company Sun was than post-Sun Oracle, people felt like it was overreaching.

So although you're correct that Google did this themselves, the alternative was fraught with problems also. Better to fight it and lose than implicitly accept the idea and pay.

This was all happening in the context of C#, which people seem to be forgetting about too. It's important to remember that the whole idea of copyrightable API was done under the argument that it was important to protect API integrity from forks. MS provided evidence of a desire to do this (as has Google to some extent since then) but then introduced C# instead.

Anyway, this is a mess because copyrightable API is ridiculous, but Google should have been more careful with cleanroom implementations.
I'm not arguing that impugning the author's credibility is fallacious here. Only that it's logically fallacious. Doesn't make it wrong, but a worthy distinction nonetheless.
Agree completely with you.

That being said, owning a car is still a must if you have anything close to an outdoor lifestyle. For example:

Leaving the car at the trailhead several hundred miles from home for the whole weekend.

With Uber and Lyft, I already see my friends living an Urban lifestyle completely dumping their car.
When this will become automated, another portion will likely dump their car.

But for now at least, I cannot see the outdoor crowd, or the ones living in a real rural area (think opposite of the SF hipster) dumping their car.
Comparing something that happened 100 years ago is not an equal comparison. The reason we have changed since the 1900s is because of horrible working conditions. The US also significantly changed in the 1970s in regards to pollution, Ohio river fire[1].

The point is we can’t allow someone to make questionable choices just because we did it 100 years ago. Especially when it’s changing the environment, it’s up to Western companies and China to make a change.

I assume the did some sort of paranoid delete. I was thinking of getting rid of my Facebook account (once I deal with oauth) and I was thinking if it would be better to delete my account or write a script to flood it with garbage.

I was thinking of having it run as a cron on my laptop. Log in via chromedriver, accept a random couple of suggested friends. Download some random images and upload it tagging myself. Grab some random comments off twitter and post it as my own. Like random posts. Remove a few real friends. Repeat.

Maybe even Facebook Munging as a Service. :D

Notice how subtle the causes are that you are excavating about how their may be subtle sexism or just unintended gendered approaches that are limiting the participation of women on stack exchange or in programming in general.

If you are truly interested why women are so uner-represented in these activities that select for feats of intelligence on the far right of the bell curve, you may want to have a look at the actual neuroscience that fully addresses the cause, no further sexist social factors required to make sense of it -

http://www.sciencevsfeminism.com/the-myth-of-equality/sex-di...

The gist is, there are major gender differences in brain structure and composition, and a 9:1 gender skew when you move 3 standard deviations to the right on G-factor general intelligence. The gender skew on G-factor is much greater than what is indicated on IQ tests since these are normalised to reduce gender differences.
You can keep pushing bytes as you get them from async operations. In my nodejs am making 20000 DB queries and I can push data to connected clients when any these get completed.

In the threaded code, you need to get a window of time and memory. In my Java, I have a max heap size of 8gb and I can maybe create up to 8k threads. When making 20000 DB queries only 8k is being executed where most of these are waiting for the query to complete or CPU time.
I agree privacy policy details are opaque, but it takes the bare minimum of skimming to know if the policy is not giving up your data.

It should be clear as day what’s being collected and it’s a failing that it’s not, but there’s also the old adage of “if it’s too good to be true...” doing some due diligence when you’re promised the services of a billion dollar company that’s not charging you is prudent.
Fission is required for D-T fusion at this point, otherwise you don’t have any tritium. It’s the people who ignore that, and our failure to breed tritium within a fusion reactor who are disingenuous.

Furthermore, there's an inherent instability to a less developed nuclear state, specifically one that lacks a credible second strike capability.

In such a state, if nuclear delivery vehicles could conceivably be taken out in a first strike by an opponent, it is essential that everything be done to prevent that from being possible.

Notably, this means compressing the detection-to-launch schedule as much as possible. Which in turn usually means allowing battlefield commanders to launch under certain conditions.

I think there is a spectrum of styles of people who work on this stuff. At one end, you just write some code and see if it works. At the other end, you read specs very carefully, think about what you need to do, and do it. No matter which approach you take, you still get blindsided every now and then.
"It makes a bit more sense if you think about Tesla's valuation as a bet on future potential."

In my opinion that's a very small bit that can't possible justify the current price. If I was going to justify investing Tesla today I would have to make the case to myself that my ROI on Tesla would be better then my other possible ROI I could get else where. Let's say I am hoping for a very reasonable 6.5% return, based on rule of 72 I would expect the value to double in ~ 11 years. Assuming Ford grows at a similar rate over the next eleven years Tesla would have 4x the market cap as Ford currently does. I just don't see how you could expect to invest at the current levels and expect a reasonable return. Even if Tesla perfectly executes for the next 11 years there is no way it would be worth it's current evaluation let alone have room for a decent ROI.
I do. Public transportation is cheaper and less stressful than other options if I cannot walk there, or arriving all sweaty from riding my bycicle isn't a good option.

Watching a movie at home is cheaper (7 $ HD for the whole family), a better experience (no smell of whatever food they sell in cinemas), not having to deal with people who talk during the movies, etc...), less effort (I'm home already), you could even argue better for the environment since we don't need to use any mean of transport.

I really do not understand your analogies, they don't make sense to me.

Assume North Korea has on the order of ten or so nuclear weapons and one day Kim Jong-un goes nuts and launches them all towards the USA. Some are stopped by missile defense systems but a few make it through, hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of victims. What now? Do you really turn North Korea into a sheet of glass because you always threatened mutual destruction? The people of North Korea had mostly nothing to do with what just happend, the responsible people may be hiding in nuclear bunkers. There are also no more nukes posing a further thread. Do you really kill millions of innocent people out of revenge?
Seems to me that it's only a matter of time before these festivals open the way to streaming services. They are dominating the creation of episodic content simply because of the money they are spending. Festivals can't ignore all that content. Also, streaming services can just start there own and stream it which givis them more content.

The national party apparatuses should be able to find a way to have moderating voices. Most large cities in the U.S. are a one party system dominated by Democrats. Yet if you look at the politicians who are mayors and council members, there's a lot of diversity in ideas and bitter policy disputes.
Even with the single world government, there will still be factional violence. Ethnic tensions and tribalism won't magically go away. People who believe that their voices haven't been heard still violently riot in even the most democratic of nations.

Well, filtering flaws works much better when you've got a strong prior on what you expect to see. Unfortunately, these priors infect what you think you're seeing, which is an even bigger problem when you're hoping to see new, novel things never seen before.

I used to use T-Mobile, but the reason I switched to Fi was because outside of North America, the speed just isn’t there. Even when you pay for the upgraded “3G” speed, it has a low cap for max speed, something like .25 mbps.

You can buy packages for 4g, but they are ludicrously expensive. As in, so expensive they won’t even show you the prices until you are a customer. If I remember, it was in the order of something like $10 for 100mb

There is definitely a data usage threshold where Fi pricing is worse, but if you spend significant time abroad it is hard to beat.
Can you back this up with sources that others will find credible? This topic really doesn't need more loose claims.
I believe the parent comment is referring to multi-account-containers [1], which is a general implementation.

This Facebook extension is a reactionary Facebook-specific adaptation of that extension. But it is still useful for many users since it doesn't require any user interaction.

I think multi-account-containers is more convenient than profiles since it provides a single interface to manage the containers and browser settings are shared, but I am actually using profiles on Firefox because the extension doesn't seem to support the "Never remember history" browser option.

Yeah i'm tracking his upcoming game already.

It is basically Terraria with classes (meaning that you pick some kind of special ability at the start of the game), survival elements (need to eat, sleep, etc), and Diablo style randomized loot (all weapons are gun shaped wands with wildly varying stats and firing patterns).

From what i have caught of others playing it, there are even an NPC in town later on (you plop down preconfigured buildings for them) that can reroll old dungeons.

Meaning that you can technically play the same world over and over, rather than keep rolling new ones as seems to be the pattern with Terraria.

Very true, although I'm glad to say I have not had to break out one of my own yet for real. My first experience of a full on DR test was pretty humbling - NetWare servers backed up by the Unix troops via Legato. It turned out that the backups were good but restored at a pathetically slow speed (no reflection on the Unix systems but I suspect the Novell TSAs were a bit shag at the time). We updated "time to restore" estimations and moved on, after adding one or two other results of lessons learned.

Do test your plans (this is not aimed at you personally zer00eyz - you probably know better than most).

There are a lot of unknowns but the basic model of a real DR plan is pretty sound these days, if you can afford it or wing it in some way. An example:

Another site, a suitable distance away. On that site there is enough infra to run the basics - wifi, a few ethernet ports, telephony etc. There should also be enough hypervisor and storage for that. Some backups are delivered there as well as on site. Hypervisor replicas are created from the backups (or directly) depending on RPO requirements and bandwidth available. The only thing that should be able to routinely access the backup files is the backup system (certainly not "Domain Admins" or other such nonsense". Ensure that what is written is verified.

Now test it 8)

.... regularly
I'd not consider it a mistake. It is a win-win for the FBI. Either they crack the iPhone, or they get congress to end encryption in the United States. Either way they'd get access to the phone.
In auto industry, past performance matters a lot.

You do not see new car companies popping up left and right, because profitable manufacturing at scale is insanely hard, and profit margins are not that great. So companies who acquired that knowledge tend to stick around. Unseating them is tricky, as Tesla M3 scale up illustrates.

I'm trying to understand here - is the idea that if they had put a bunch of developers who had never seen the API that they were implementing (normal clean rooms allow documentation, but api documentation is pretty much the signatures and that pretty much is the material we're talking about being copyrighted), provided the clean room engineers only with example code that used the apis and that they had to make work then they would most likely not have a problem, even if the resulting code had blocks that were character-for-character identical (since interfaces likely would come out identical to those they needed to be interoperable with)?

Obviously that sounds pretty crazy, but if it's true, it would at least be an approach that I could understand.
