Check out Fastmail. A year ago I switched from Gmail, and slowly people started using my new email (I had gmail forward all other mail to the new mailbox). Now I hardly get any through Gmail.

The search is pretty good and the UI is nice. Maybe you'll prefer Gmail, but it's worth a try at least.
It was my understanding that Netflix wanted to show their movies in French cinemas, but French regulations would prevent them from doing that while also streaming the movies for subscribers.
It's all well and good that people now realize the privacy issues with social media, but the question is do we do something about it or do we just get used to it? Social media is here to stay, people are hooked.

FWWIW, the article was discussed a bit in the Android slack I hang around, and quickly dismissed.

The consensus is that there are always big downsides to cross platform solutions and that it is not going to change anytime soon. They have their niche, but currently have zero chances to replace native.

Flutter is a runtime for Android and iOS powering apps written in Dart.
Flutter itself is written in c++ and Dart.

The main originality is that it uses it's own runtime instead of using the platform widgets. It is not as original as its creators would like you to believe though since that's basically what all the cross platform toolkit running in a webview has been doing. The difference is that performances are not atrocious with flutter but they still fall short of being any better than native apps.

Flutter could be a big deal if/when Fuchsia becomes a thing it is adopted as its main app runtime. And by 'become a thing' I mean that it completely replaces Android.

You would get native dev on 'android z+' and high quality iOS ports very easily.
No, you are not getting the point of the whole "copyright the API" thing this discussion is talking about. If I can copyright the API then it doesn't matter if you clean room or not since the API is copyright and I can sue the heck out of you no matter how you did your work. That is my point that you are missing. IBM didn't believe they could copyright the API so they took some additional measures. If they thought the API was copyrightable then Compaq would have gotten sued out of existence. This is what makes Oracle's assertion so scary for the computer industry.

Sheeeit. I’d love some of the stuff they’re smoking. You can build a 100 GPU rig for half as much. Just scatter it around the office so it’s not “in the data center”.
The topic is about a browser extension to block them tracking first party activity. That does literally nothing to solve the scenario you described.

It's also no coincidence that their SMS harvesting shenanigans are only possible on Android, the poster child for "fuck privacy I want free shit from a giant creepy company".

Sure, on some level there should be laws about privacy. But this is fucking America we're talking about - it's practically the third world when it comes to the state of basic protections for citizens.
I would point to Scandinavian countries as probably the best functioning economies in the world right now. They aren't socialist, but they're closer than the US is. The fear of Authoritarianism is a real threat under any system. There is a certain level of authoritarianism that we live with here in the US I would argue. I don't think that socialism has to mean "large-centralized government". I look at it more like extending democracy to include the workplace and the economy.

As for what that means exactly, I don't have a good answer for you. I'm trying to find answers myself. Maybe every business needs to be a worker-owned co-op. Maybe we should have a "National fund" that replaces private banks and investments in which every member of society would have equal ownership of. Maybe we should all live in communes in the woods.

I guess I should explain why I think this is even necessary. If the only issue was poverty, we could probably just make do with the social-democratic, Scandinavian style economy. However, to really challenge climate change and automation I think we might need more radical solutions.
I'd disagree that the USSR was the only "legitimate" attempt. And even accepting that premise I think it does still show a flaw in the system, which is that it was easily exploited by a despot to seize control. By allowing the state absolute control of the economy, which is necessary to transition into a truly socialist system, you give the people running the state immense power. Then you just have to hope they treat it responsibly, which as we know, didn't happen.

I made a longer argument about that here, probably better to link it than reiterate it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16689969
Announcing TensorRT integration with TensorFlow 1.7
Not to sound condescending but as a German I can tell you that american social networks never enjoyed much trust by us anyways regarding handling of our data.

Part of that resentment might be caused by anti-american-bias, anti-capitalist-bias, German romanticism and many more but most importantly remembrance of the GDR's Stasi.

Those 60% you mention sound absolutely reasonable even without the cambridge analytica scandal. I know several people who never registered with facebook or whatsapp and are reluctant to do be pushed into it even by close friends and family.
The Refactoring book in Javascript looks like an early April, 1st joke :-)

What I really miss is the integration with the automatic refactoring tools in our IDEs. How would I make a heavy refactoring if I already have a "extract method" in my interface? Would it be the same? Some of the refactorings are easier to automate so are more common in the IDEs. Would are better paths considering what is automated?

So, she’ll have a couple fewer years in the Senate and a lot more in elected executive positions than Kennedy when he was elected President.

I'll take your point into consideration that deregulating silencers will increase their usage by intelligence services.
If they get around to it, they would probably offer several subscription levels. Pay more, and you're guaranteed a swankier car, be frugal and it's a crapshoot, maybe you get a boring Tata, or you get a Jaguar.

Also, if the taxi fleet knows where everyone is going, they can easily organize a car-pool. If you're frugal then you'll be okay with pooling, pay more if you want the exclusivity (or, if you have the frugal plan, you can pay 10 bucks more this morning if you want to be left alone...).

The Jaguar vs Tata would make a fun algorithm. Say you're the frugal one, you order a car, and a Jaguar is heading your way. Suddenly your neighbor (on the premium plan) orders a car, and someone else a few minutes away cancelled their Tata. Oops, sorry, he gets the Jaguar.

Edit: Changed "Mercedes" to "Jaguar"

I don't quite understand what mass is lost. I thought fusion involved overcoming the electrostatic forces to get two protons close enough that they are pulled together by a nuclear force, thus releasing the nuclear potential energy. But, you start with two protons, and you end with two protons, so what's the mass that's converted to energy?

L2 is about 4 times further away than the Moon, to be precise.
All true. On the other hand, the current JWST is way less capable, and way, way more expensive, than what was initially planned. I think there's a very legitimate argument to be made that maybe, with hindsight, it would have been better not to put all that money into the very large bucket that it's ended up being.

It seems the way this goes is "we don't have money for more than one mission, so we have to make it count." But now you only have one mission, so you have to make really sure it doesn't fail, and the cost starts running away.

Also, after JWST started, NASA has pretty much completely changed their strategy away from grand missions into many smaller ones with the "faster, better, cheaper" motto.
The reason is: the second one doesn't cost much less than the first. They are hand-built. It's structurally very complex, so building takes a long time. Pieces are sent cross-country multiple times to assemble more and more components ("integrate") and tested in stages. The assembly and vacuum test of one module uses the whole chamber, so you can't do two at once.

I'm using modest language ("very complex") - but the actual complexity is more like "uniquely mind-boggling". (I happen to know the MIRI cryocooler system engineer - just another Harvard PhD whose thesis required liquid helium.)

For more on the MIRI cryocooler, which is the critical path item in JWST, and has been for some time, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIRI_(Mid-Infrared_Instrument).

The cost of these flagship missions, and the all-or-nothing problem that you point out, has caused conflict in the Astrophysics community. It might be better to have a pipeline of lower-cost but more frequent missions.

A recent National Academy of Science report on exactly this question (https://www.nap.edu/catalog/24857/powering-science-nasas-lar...) concluded that the large missions did offer a unique benefit in pushing boundaries of what's possible. That report pinned the real problem on getting correct cost estimates, not the notion of large missions in itself.

Sadly, but it not provide correct timestamps for video uploading date.

Lets test it using VATA TV[0] channel

Here is screenshot[1] from SMTube that use Tonvid.com[2] website parsing, so all video publishing dates shown correctly.

And here is screenshot[3] from RSS Guard that use feed from HookRSSTube[4], as you can see there no correct dates for each video publishing date. So, its impossible sort videos list correctly to publishing date.

When I read feed of any project commits history on Github[5], each entry has own date according commit date created - look on "Created on" column on this screenshot[6] from RSS Guard.

Am I missing something?

>It's likely that the accident still would have been fatal, or at least the pedestrian would have been seriously injured if the safety driver was driving. Based on the video there was only a second or two to react from the time the pedestrian stepped out of the shadows, and human reaction time varies from 0.7 to 3 seconds [1]. One study found the average driver's reaction time is 2.3 seconds.

Yes, but it is difficult to state that it would have been "likely" fatal, and even sevral fractures are IMHO a big improvement over death, the whole point is not about the "average" braking time (BTW that same study gives 1.64 seconds average for "steering away" which is probably what most human drivers would have done in a similar situation, instead of braking or instead of only braking), it is the peaks that count.

I mean, it is about the (rightful) expectation that an automated system is safer (faster, more reactive) than the best you can find (not the average, the best) "in nature" among a random set of drivers, just like the state codes (correctly) take the worse case in the sample or however incereases the recommendation to three seconds.

If you play the game suggested on the same site you gave a link to and deliberately count up to three before clicking, you get:

Reaction time: 2916.00ms

Reaction speed age: 89 years old

Playing fairly, you are likely to get values in the range 300-500 ms.

Here is another paper:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233039156_Brake_Rea...

that puts it back to around 1-1.5 seconds or however maximum at 1.8 seconds in the very worst cases.
Nah, you're fine, OP.

> the federal government blocks a US company (Qualcomm) from buying another American company (Broadcom) over concerns about the Chinese somehow (which I still don't fully understand)

I'm not saying that Trump's executive order is justified (and the market predicted that Qualcomm would reject a hostile takeover attempt) but you have a few things wrong there.

1. The acquisition would be the other way around (as in Broadcom taking over Qualcomm)

2. Broadcom's parent company is a Singaporean entity. So yes, it's an American company but its parent company is Singaporean.

3. Broadcom's M&A strategy is very short sighted. It usually strips the acquisition target's R&D costs and improves its bottom line in the short term.

4. Qualcomm has a pseudo monopoly on mobile chips. All high end mobile phones use their chips. If it loses out on its future 5G technology due to a shrinking R&D budget, US loses its market dominance possibly for good.

> AFAIK web assembly is not much faster than native javascript for general purpose code.

I've heard this before, and I'm sure it's true for "naive" code, but I find this a very unsatisfying truism because it does not tell me why. What is keeping WASM from being faster? Or alternatively: what is giving JavaScript an inherent edge in certain tasks.

My guess would be that for more complicated tasks, WASM currently shines wherever Typed Arrays used to potentially give an increase in performance: wherever you can allocate a big chunk of memory once, and fast access to it is the main bottleneck, and that for most other things still is too much overhead in communication with the rest of the browser.

But I simply don't know and it annoys me tremendously.

Thanks for your insightful comments. I hadn’t thought of sensors as an application and wondered about what this would be good for.
I don't think so.

Netflix, Amazon, etc. have some great entertainment, but they seem to avoid serious, emotional, social, and political topics.

Instead they keep producing tons of supernatural/superhero series.

That kind of stuff was never particularly popular at Cannes anyway.

I guess what I am saying is that even though they share the medium, they do very different things with it.
I've been thinking about this, and I think you need to work backwards from the existing awards and what makes them "tick" in the context of the industry. Why does anyone care about the awards?

- Directors and producers care about the awards, because winning an award will get your picture seen by lots of people (which means more recognition for all involved, and money for the investors). As a result of this, directors tend to hew to the formats specified by the awards bodies.

- Producing a film that doesn't conform to the requirements (i.e. not shown in theaters) is perceived as "riskier" and has less upside potential -- therefore it's not worth investing in as heavily. Unsurprisingly, the output tends to have obviously lower production values. This reputation is self-reinforcing once established; see straight-to-video releases in the 80s and 90s.

- Viewers, inundated with material, use the awards as a selection filter in determining what to watch, and theater chains tend to run award-winning movies longer, making them more accessible.

So if someone wanted to beat the current awards system at its own game, what they would need to do is basically guarantee directors/producers that there was a strong upside potential, so they'd invest and produce high-production-value (and hopefully, high quality) movies.

If Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/HBO/whatever got together and made a sort of equivalent to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, put together a broad-based judging mechanism (like the Oscars has), and then jointly agreed to give airtime to winning films on their respective platforms, that might make the awards very relevant indeed.

So, modest proposal: the streaming platforms conduct an auction for the right-of-first-refusal to winning films before the awards are opened; basically guaranteeing a payout and perhaps some publicity package to the top films. (There'd be no requirement that the winning film accept the offer, I suppose, but it would be money on the table. Presumably lots of money.) The various streaming platforms would still get exclusivity over some limited period if they were the top bidder (since otherwise, why are they going to bid? they want platform exclusives, nothing else matters to them).

The goal would be two simultaneous, benevolent (to the viewers/audience) arms races: one, between the streaming platforms (to win the auction for winning films pre-award); and two, between filmmakers (to obtain and spend the money necessary to produce an award-winning film, with the guarantee that if it wins, it will get in front of a lot of eyeballs).

I think something like that could snowball on itself and become a Big Deal pretty rapidly, given the incredible amounts of money that are shifting into streaming right now. If you look at the money people spend on cable TV (sometimes $50-100/mo just on programming) and imagine it getting shifted to streaming services, that's going to create an industry that makes the total spend on theater tickets look like floor sweepings. The quality of the content should reflect that.
