I have exclusively been using i.reddit.com for at least 5 years now and it isnt pretty or anything but it loads fast and works. I use reddit to get to the content. The ui is just a tool to get me somewhere. I do not want a mobile app and the real mobile website takes forever to load and half the time im on reddit im just scrolling aimlessly anyway and the mobile website cannot handle it also its paginated and i want infinite scrolling. Speed of content on a link aggregator site will always be more important than appearance.

I fear they will remove i.reddit.com in the future because it does not have ads. It also does not have their fake posts that are actually ads and mark promoted that
You're clearly a smart person but I'd argue that the people designing this nonsense are also smart -- which leads me to believe that they've made it "terrible" on purpose -- which makes me dislike them more.
I've used flatpak on an Ubuntu 16.04 base without issues. There are limitations, for example you can't easily replace/update your window manager through flatpak or snap. But for user-facing apps, it's really a great step forward.

This has been my experience too. I love Linux, but its just too buggy (And I had all these issues on a ThinkPad that was marked as 'Linux Ready'). It really does give me a nice environment for development but the lost hours and days to fixing problems made it a total time sink. MacOS on the other hand has all the tools I need and works incredibly well. I also cannot stand Windows, its a total mess and drives me mad. So I am stuck with MacOS and for now I couldn't be happier.
> DNS: The Internet's Biggest Privacy Hole

Almost every packet on the Internet identifies the user's IP and the server to which they are connecting (with the exception of VPN traffic and Tor). DNS does not reveal much more than that.

I do agree that Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 does almost nothing to improve end user confidentiality - there are so many other ways users are tracked, and in much greater detail than DNS can provide; and if your ISP is your DNS vendor, 1.1.1.1 only adds to the number of organizations that can monitor you. But 1.1.1.1 is an important piece of a much larger puzzle that could, if completed, provide greater confidentiality.

But old games are the classics of the genre! Imagine if switching platforms meant you couldn't watch movies made from 1960 to 1990 anymore. Also, game companies lose source code all the time, and they often aren't interested in recompiling the code that they still have. (This comes up whenever compatibility-breaking iOS updates happen.)

Frankly, I'd be surprised if even a game like Overwatch got an Arm port.
But unless the software has embedded assembly, most likely you can just recompile it and run it fine. Even easier if it is written in languages other than C/C++.
> The stock market seems to be reflecting data's transition from asset to liability.

I always thought this to be the key difference between the treatment of data in the USA and Europe. In Europe the culture of personal data protection is much more developed. In the USA it looks like citizens don't care and corporations abuse it to an absurd extent.

You can witness this by using any service for the first time: an American start-up will immediately subscribe you to their mailing list without asking any questions - the relevant info is (probably) in their Terms and Conditions. In Europe, you are most likely presented with a separate box that even cant't be selected by default. In some countries you need to have separate boxes for different scenarios of personal data use. These regulations clearly favor the user and upset the marketing folks. People often criticize the EU for bureaucracy, but I'm not even sure the USA has an office responsible for cases like this one, someone who cares and can intervene on behalf of the citizens.

Just because there are lots of complaints doesn't mean the majority doesn't like it. Usually, unhappy users are more likely to say something than happy ones.

There has been a similar situation with Ubuntu and Unity: A vocal minority kept on complaining that Unity be a step back from gnome. Now that Ubuntu has dropped it, many users state to actually have liked Unity and are sad about that change.
The funny thing is that privacy options are worthless -- while they protect your content from being seen by other Facebook users or the public -- they don't protect the content from being seen and used by Facebook itself -- which is the problem. A "hide from Facebook ad targeting or newsfeed emotional manipulation" option isn't a privacy setting is it?

This seems very hard for Tesla to fix with a simple software patch. If the car is using cameras to look at the lines on the road + radar which can not see stationary objects well, then I don't see how they'd have enough sensor information to fix this reliably.

Would this be a better to distinguish?

AWS does not care about the data, does not want to see the data and goes out of its way to make it damn hard for it to see the data. The data is a black box to them and this is by design. You are not sending them the raw data in a format that they require for analyses. You are just sending them bits and bytes that they store for you.

The analyses third-parties in this case are the exact opposite. They explicitly require access to their data in a certain format for analysis. In fact, their business fails if they don't have access to this data.

They are both technically third parties but the way they handle the data is completely different.
One has every incentive to avoid reading the data, the other has every incentive to hoover everything it can.

Windows is good, but getting hardware working is a lottery. I recently built a PC with pretty standard components (Asus MB, i5 CPU, Asus GTX 1060 GPU), installed Windows 10, it worked fine until I enabled Hyper-V. With Hyper-V enabled it BSODs few times a day because of buggy NVidia driver.. I had to disable it because of that. While macOS is pretty buggy and I experienced crashes, they are not that often, may be few times a month or less.
Most of the problems with smoking are actually caused by small circulation blood flow issues. And then to worse oxygenation.
This is a common cause of ED but finding enough evidence will be tricky as it is not reported well. So don't get too hung up (sic) on that point.

Some people are more susceptible than others, and even then the telltale (as in other than "worse on ergometer") medical issues tend to start after years (sometimes many) of smoking. Based on stats it is about 20 years of delay in specific cancers.

I used the redesign for two days and rolled back. The designers went for a river of news app-like design.

From two years ago, https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autos-autonomous-infrastr... , titled "Where's the lane? Self-driving cars confused by shabby U.S. roadways":

> LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Volvo’s North American CEO, Lex Kerssemakers, lost his cool as the automaker’s semi-autonomous prototype sporadically refused to drive itself during a press event at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

> “It can’t find the lane markings!” Kerssemakers griped to Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was at the wheel. “You need to paint the bloody roads here!”

> Shoddy infrastructure has become a roadblock to the development of self-driving cars, vexing engineers and adding time and cost. Poor markings and uneven signage on the 3 million miles of paved roads in the United States are forcing automakers to develop more sophisticated sensors and maps to compensate, industry executives say.

> Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently called the mundane issue of faded lane markings “crazy,” complaining they confused his semi-autonomous cars.

> An estimated 65 percent of U.S. roads are in poor condition, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, with the transportation infrastructure system rated 12th in the World Economic Forum’s 2014-2015 global competitiveness report.

> Tesla, Volvo, Mercedes, Audi (VOWG_p.DE) and others are fielding vehicles that can drive on highways, change lanes and park without human help. But they are easily flummoxed by faded lane markers, damaged or noncompliant signs or lights, and the many quirks of a roadway infrastructure managed by thousands of state and local bureaucracies.

> In other developed countries, greater standardization of road signs and markings makes it easier for robot cars to navigate. In the U.S., however, traffic lights can be aligned vertically, horizontally or “dog-house” style in two columns. Pavement markings use paint with different degrees of reflectivity - or don’t exist at all.

You ask "Will road markings be kept in better condition for the sake of self-driving cars, I wonder?"

No, no they won't. Rather, why aren't they already being kept in better condition for the sake of public safety?

The onus will be on the car manufacturer, who in turn will need to use more expensive sensors, so the cost will be end up with the car owner. Because in the US, we've been brainw^Wtaught that government is worthless, and powerless against The Free Market.
This might be anecdotal, but I only listen to my 'Discover Weekly' list on Spotify. Every week I get a new set of songs, and I mostly listen to those songs every day, until I get a new one. Some of the songs on the list, I hop onto the album of, and listen to that as well.

So Apple seems to be willing to give up on the developer market almost entirely, and will turn the Macs into multimedia centers just as iPads then? Maybe that's indeed where the majority of their revenue lies, and they couldn't care less whether fewer developers buy their Macs if that means more home users buy them. But still, I doubt whether it will be the right move in the long run.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a change of processor architecture mean that the majority of the apps that currently run on Mac won't run anymore and would require the app developers to make extensive changes to make them run on the new architecture?

I've parted with my MBP after having used it for 4 years and switched to Arch Linux. It has been a blast so far, apart from the spotty HiDPI support and lack of built-in dictionaries. It's also much nicer than Ubuntu as a dev distro (not as a production distro of course) since you can install the newest version of almost any software you want in a flash without involving the messy PPAs. I was worrying about Apple's shifts in the recent years in the Mac line but they pale in comparison to this change. Gives me less of an incentive to use any Apple product for sure.
I spent a few months working as a tour guide in Vietnam and you are absolutely correct about the difference in economic conditions of the local and the western white men that come. In the job I had which was a mix of educated western backpackers along with locals, for some reason the westerners automatically got paid more than the locals, despite them working twice as hard. For us, the job was a fun break/opportunity during a stay in SouthEast Asia. For the locals it was means to support their family. I will say they did their jobs every day with a huge smile on their face and happy as anyone I've met in any part of the world.
I've been noticing the same. I seem to get the most obtuse interpretation of my queries instead of the most contextually relevant one, until I add additional terms to get it to "realize" which idea I was going for, instead of showing multiple interpretations at once. I thought we were supposed to be getting better at this, not worse.
I think the reasoning is innocent, the problem is that if it gets leaked you have people (probably incorrectly) interpreting things using the data which is half the problem.

"Your ethnicity preference is white? You goddamn racist".

This gets worse when those interpreters are in a position of power.

I wouldn't say these redesigns actually look very good... they're just easy. Maybe not to implement, but easy to imagine, easy to accept, and easy to make strict guidelines for.

And then you look other mediums of design, and you realize its only the software UI weenies who pull this out and think its something to be proud of. There's a reason you can slap bootstrap onto any website and have a "good" design; the result has nothing to do with the website itself.

Absolutely not. Reddit existed and filled Digg's old shoes, so Reddit was chosen. But people didn't leave Digg because Reddit existed. The key problem with Digg was "Digg Version 4" which made their users much less influental in the dynamics of the website.

One place that I have gone to instead of Reddit lately is Hacker News... I have started using Reddit more as only a source for current events because it's easier to sift through (with categorized subreddits and all) than a Twitter stream of breaking news. But for science and tech talk, this place seems to have a higher quality discussion in the majority of the cases.

>The dysfunctional politics of social media is an adult problem.

It wouldn't be so drastic if the family unit were not under attack by social movements hell bent on removing the last bastion against their attempts to introduce social upheaval. the family unit is a real and functioning means of social survival. Attacking the family unit because it is "the final frontier of liberation" is a highly contentious argument - it also happens to be the last bastion of true civilization. Once the family unit is deconstructed, civilization fails. This is demonstrated throughout the historical record.

>I think the tendency of the masses to follow the perceived leader is a facet of the human psychology rather than the result of a nefarious scheme.

May be to an extent. But you cannot deny that this is exaggerated by social pressure and training from child hood. For example, in most school, the obedience is seen as a foremost quality of a good student.

Imagine the animals in the wild and how they can be tamed by training them in a specific way. You can see how a small man or woman is able to control a large animal such as an elephant or tiger in this fashion.

When you look at that, and when you see how, if the people put their minds, they can so easily revolt/react against the increasingly oppressive actions from governments, and how they don't, just like a tiger or lion can so easily refuse to obey their trainer, but they don't, only because of their training they have received from their birth, and the thought of not obeying just does not cross their minds..

You see, you have to stop looking at the people individually, and have to look the populace as a single entity. Like a reagent in a test tube. You pour in the obedience and compliance and you get more work and taxes out of it (and less unwanted reactions). You pour things like nationalism and patriotism into it, and you get lives to expend in the name of service of nation. You pour dreams of a better tomorrow, and you get votes...
