Same fundamental problem though. A 'kind of' on any of the questions will have a significant impact on the driver, since anything less than a near perfect rating will cause them to lose out to other drivers. Because of this riders will feel pressure to give positive answers to everything unless the driver is really terrible.

When you say "If the server responds with hostname not found", what are you talking about? Exactly which protocol are you refering to when you say "hostname not found" ?

Most web servers will just fall back to the default virtual hosts SSL certificate if no SNI header is present in the clients request... They don't reply "hostname not found", or "nope, no such host", or anything similar...
The thing with ratings like these is that they're always effectively asking "should this person continue to work for us?"

There's two answers to that question. If they should, you give them every maximum numeric rating. If they shouldn't, you file a customer service complaint.

This seems like a weird article. People are advocating for RSS to avoid “the algorithm” and to increase privacy. Yet the author recommends adding analytics (tracking) and a way for publishers to indicate priorities. No. That’s the opposite of why people are again pushing RSS.

If you want a read count, then add pingback urls and make the protocol support it so various feed aggregators can report true numbers.

Curation should happen at the client, not the protocol. Tagging various feeds works well for me.
Why am I not surprised that an American is crying over potential harm to unethical business practices of some of its most darling corporations by an EU rule to protect its citiziens.

Every time the EU implements some law or regulation regarding control of personal data and privacy, someone (an American) has to dismiss all the problems those laws are intended to address entirely, and go on to post some defensive, nationalist spiel about it being an attack on US companies.

Perhaps the problem is that these companies make their money in an incredibly unethical way that an increasing number of people are very uncomfortable with?

I've often thought that for dense cities such as New York, and London, a Monorail would be a good solution to add to the public transit system.

Picture this: Along most of the major roads fit very tall archways every few hundred feet, and place the Monorail on-top. As long as traffic below can continue unobstructed, then the two can co-exist. Additionally add direct-into-building entrances/exits at the monorail platform height (2nd or 3rd storey (US buildings called the 'ground' floor '1st', right?) ). Monorail can be driver-less, and run on clean[1] energy. It seems a bit of a no-brainer to me.

> You're entirely right insofar as (eg) an Android developer will learn iOS far faster than someone without mobile (or any other ui kit) experience. But the specifics are different enough such that it's hard to do both to a high level. Or perhaps I'm just speaking for my own limitations -- I do iOS & Android (native & a bit of react native), but I'm definitely less of an expert with either (or the various server things I also do) than I would be if I specialised.

Yeah, that's definitely true pretty much why projects like react native and flutter exist. I personally have done toy projects on iOS and Android, but do not do it for my day job (and really have no desire to), so I stick to projects like react native and flutter and try to avoid mobile development like the plague.

> I was offering AWS as an example of another platform rather than a language. If you're called on to (for example) implement a bunch of microservice type stuff, there's quite a bit to learn about RDS/dynamo/lambdas/IAM etc, and then all the quite complex deployment stuff to make it truly production ready.

Yeah, absolutely -- funnily enough, I'm relatively sure that AWS wants it this way. AWS can be come so complex so fast, especially when they have many ways to do the same thing (often built upon each other) and it isn't necessarily immediately clear which is the best for your usecase. The additional management they give you for some services is minimal -- I'm thoroaughly convinced that most of the "value" offered by RDS is more-or-less thanks to tools like postgres being well-written/robust software.

I agree on the language being relatively trivial too -- maybe the importance of platforms ties into that -- Once the language difference becomes trivial the next big differentiator must indeed be platforms/the well-used structures that are built on the base language. I'll make sure to express that more clearly in the future
IMHO this is a good comment. It explains why ratings tend to be inflated, but I think it also indirectly asks in what kind of society we want to live.

(I think our profession is vulnerable to unadjusted people making the rules for the rest.)
I admit I'm not sure how the verification part is supposed to look like. For the rest, I assume that if you have a standardized data flow (and don't randomly resell people to different parties), you could automate the part that writes responses, and only have humans read the original mail and check appropriate checkboxes to generate a standardized reply covering all the relevant points.

Although there isn't an explicit number associated with it, seems like the threshold between ok and not ok could itself be subject to the same problem as inflation.

There more it becomes clear to me that giving someone a not-ok rating threatens their job, the more that I don't want to take that nuclear option.
The Uber app now allows the "While using the app" option, fortunately. No longer need to remember to toggle it off.
> The best thing about it is escaping the algorithmically curated feeds.

Honestly, I don't think algorithmically curated feeds are a problem. The main problem is the goal of the given algorithm which is often trying to maximize someone else's profit rather than minimize your time reading the feed...

That being said, I am always amazed at the ability of my brain to go through my feed and filter the interesting out quickly.
That is an awesome tip! Thank you.

Even waiting one day is pretty poor when it comes to funds transfer times, let alone three!

It's a significant burden on commerce, businesses, and individuals to be without their funds for that long. And a big win for greedy banks who boost their balance sheets and profits by holding all those "in transit" funds.

In the UK, the "Faster" payment system, introduced about 10 years ago, means that the vast majority of bank-to-bank funds transfers are completed instantly.

This whole "RSS died" narrative illustrates a basic problem with how we understand the internet. Since there's no unified unbiased sort of "index", like GDP, to tell us just what proportion of users on the internet uses RSS anymore, we're stuck having to rely on socially propogated ideas about the state. This leads to all the typical problems with socially defined truth, such as drift as a consequence of incentives (or just random mutations due to statistically insignificant data, amplified by mimetics). Just remember that fact-space is only correlated, but not bijective, to common-sense-space.

Never understood this backwards way of thinking. You first write/immagine the grammar that you want to write, whatever is most intuitive for you.

Then you figure out what kind of parser your grammar needs.

Why would one contort a grammar? I mean, even "contorting it to not be context-dependent" is already a limitation enough...

Most signalling systems in London are fairly new. Rolling stock is the bigger problem with some parts from the 1970s (Picadilly line). New signals were the main reason they could increase frequencies on lines like Northern, Central and Victoria in recent years.

What helps London is that the system shuts down for a few hours each night (except weekends on some lines). That allows most repairs and maintenance to take place without altering schedules.

For instance, a mammography doesn't give you cancer. But it can detect one, and thus give you evidence that you had cancer in the first place.

People who concerns their information source are keeping using RSS all the time. RSS can confirm you receives all the news you subscribed everyday and decide read which article by yourself.

The signature being wrong doesn't actually make the card unusable, and there's statutory liability limits based on reporting the card missing/stolen. There's virtually zero difference for the issuer between chip+signature and chip-only.
It's interesting to have a non-LSM based persistent engine (If I read correctly).

Although BTrees are slower when it comes to writing, they don't have compaction issues and are generally better are reading data from disk.

I also like there is a lower-level API should you wish to build your own database logic on top of the block manager.

It would be interesting to have more information about how data is actually written to disk and I think such approach could benefit from being able to mount a device directly.

Last but not least, 255 GB will seriously limit this database to embedded use cases.
> RSS doesn’t allow publishers to track user behavior.

This is a feature, not a bug.

> Analytics increases revenues from advertising, and that means it is critical for companies to have those trackers in place if they want a chance to make it in the competitive media environment.

If you can't survive without tracking my behavior, then I guess you will die. Given the quality of writing I can expect from this "competitive media environment", it won't be a great loss.

> RSS also offers very few opportunities for branding content effectively.

This is a feature, not a bug.

> They need to actively guide users to find where the best content is...

Let me stop you here. An RSS directory is nothing challenging. You can make one by hosting an old timey "list of cool sites" .html on your own website. Brent Simmons included one when he developed and maintained NetNewsWire before selling to Black Pixel. Modern day Podcast clients often include a directory or access to a 3rd party directory. Anybody can create a directory, stuff it with all the criteria they need to sort by tags or algorithmically push users to the highest bidder and ship it in an RSS client.

RSS is a good technology. In terms familiar to a newspaper or press corporation, it is a wire service, except one that goes from newspaper to reader rather than from the Associated Press (or whoever) to newspapers to readers. It does one thing, and it does it well, and doesn't support anything less than it needs to do it.

RSS clients range the gamut from inboxes (NetNewsWire) to news rivers (River5) to machine-curated digital newspapers (Apple News), each of them solid form factors and useful for different types of feeds, and the only reason that variance of form factors is even possible is right there in the name: Really Simple Syndication.

Dave Winer was right to freeze the spec, it's not perfect, but it is good enough. Letting newer iterations filter through would lead us to a situation like with the web, where the www went from a really great networked document browser to an application container. That's why when I visit a site like say, techcrunch.com in a browser with scripting disabled, almost nothing remains of the actual website, although surprisingly the entire article was fully readable, and perhaps more so than if I had enabled JavaScript to let all that Branding™ shine through.

Let me be clear, the only parts of RSS that died are the parts that Google and a few social corporations within 50 miles of each other owned because they all had a stake in getting you into their own walled gardens and keeping you there. The Open Web is great, open standards are great, until you need to convert eyeballs into dollars and the exchange rate isn't looking good because you're too open and didn't introduce enough artificial scarcity into your business model.

RSS never died, by and large the feeds that you subscribed to a decade ago in Google Reader are still alive and kicking, ever present and always underappreciated even at the height of Google Reader's popularity before Google decided to rebrand it to death.

MAMP and MAMP PRO v4.0.0.27057 Crack Full Version
I just moved from a late 2014 MBP running Arch to a Precision 5520 (more or less the business variant of the XPS15) running Alpine. Both feature an i7 HQ, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Both where about 2200€.

The Precision is a good laptop but it's my first that isn't better in every way than the one I had before.

On Par:

* Fast (for a laptop) processor.

* Fast SSD. 900MB/sec on the MPB, 400MB/sec on the Precision. Anyway fast enough.

* 16GB RAM. Just enough for me.

Good:

* Linux support. Very important for me. Suspend to RAM on lidclose works reliably. WLAN works. (Display dimming just works (as with the MBP), no coil whining here).

* Display. Native HD (had to use Linux' crappy scaling on the MBP). Non-glare. (And the MBP had the display stain issue)

* 3 years on site guaranty, if on site isn't possible, I can keep the SSD.

* Can change RAM, SSH, battery without voiding guaranty.

Bad:

* Display. I'd prefer 16:10.

* Sound is slightly worse when laptop is used on a table. Sound is dismal when laptop is used... on the lap.

* Keyboard on the new Precision is worse than the one on the 3 years old MBP. Will use the UHK in the office anyway.
If thats true it’s because of the limitations of IPv4 more than anything else. With a single $5/month machine from Linode you have a /64 IPv6 subnet, that is 2^64 IP addresses just for that one machine.
