From a privacy standpoint, third-party scripts intercepting data is essentially no different from the "trusted" site explicitly sharing data with third parties. In both cases, the site using "Login with Facebook" is responsible for the data they gather/share, and that includes data gathered by any scripts they choose to embed on their site.

End users might not understand the technical details, but one should assume that if you're giving company X access to your data, company X could potentially share that data with companies Y and Z. Company X's privacy policy should cover their use (and sharing) of the data in either case, and if they didn't anticipate companies Y and Z intercepting data when this is clearly documented as a possibility in Facebook's docs, then I agree - company X should be held accountable.
I'm not sure you can see this as a persistent failure in terms of FB (and similar) fighting against an unstoppable tide of ignorance. It's far more easier to see Facebook (and similarly Google with Android, for a very long time) sabotaging the effort from the start.

A user absolutely can choose what they share with Facebook, but Facebook makes no effort to tell you why you should edit the defaults. Instead, you have to click an edit button, and look at a list of checkboxes, and understand what each thing means, and double and triple check that this doesn't override your personal privacy preferences or have some other unintended side-effects. The default expectation from Facebook (and similar) is biased heavily against the user, purely by virtue of it being opt out.

It depends on users not being educated well enough, and giving them a good reason to care less about being more judicious with their profile.
So what we need is name suppression for whistleblowers.
Yeah, exactly. Amazon pays less than Google and FB, but it is vastly more than your average SF startup, for example.
"Once an SBC approaches $100 or so, there are other options (like a used Intel core i5 desktop) which offer 10-100x the performance and infinite expansion options"

Anyone knows what kind of board he means? I have been searching and it seems that the next step from the pi would be something like the Intel NUC, which is quite a lot more than $100 when considering a full, minimum system build.

Edit: totally missed the "used" in that sentence, which totally changes things. Thanks for the tips though!

VDO will return ENOSPC when it gets a write and has nowhere to store it. The filesystem or other writer is responsible for passing ENOSPC up to the user, just like if dm-thin were to run out of space.
FWIW it doesn't seem like the most important part (the docs) has changed: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/indexes.html

And I'm perfectly fine with that.
> The RPi people quote this incessantly casually leaving out the fact that the BeagleBone already includes 4GB eMMC (a uSD card is at least $5)

> Less RAM but FASTER RAM. RPi3 is DDR2 vs BeagleBone Black's DDR3.

Most people buying don't notice such things. Also, the BBB is at-least $10 more expensive.

> In addition, people just blithely skip past the whole closed nature of the Broadcom SoC. If you are serious about creating a product ever shipping in real quantities, that's a killer.

For people with principles in favour of Free & Open computing (like me) who are buying for personal use, perhaps. Unfortunately for this argument, most people don't care about that. In fact, I'm currently supporting a product shipping with the RPi 3B in quantities large enough to qualify as "real quantities".

They take stock performance into account and it effects your future raises.

So yeah stock can go up, but if it does, you are never getting a raise.
>Are you saying you or anyone else is equipped to be a decent parent just because you were a child and maybe had a parent?

Yes. I think that, as things stand, good parenting is largely a matter of being lucky enough to have oneself received good parenting, i.e. it's mainly a matter of tradition. This doesn't imply that one shouldn't attempt improvements here and there, some guided by science. My beef is principally with the idea that there's a scientific method to produce better people. Conceiving of people as products rather than as ends-in-themselves.
You can run Gnome just fine, hardware accelerated video decoding/encoding works, HDMI with a few features is mainline, the only thing left is the Mali GPU, which is a fairly simple GPU as far as that kind of hardware goes, as compared to AMD or Nvidia GPUs.

On that note, there has been a fair bit of activity on Lima as of late, which is a big change from a few years ago: https://github.com/yuq/linux-lima/tree/lima-4.16-rc5/drivers...

It's way easier for the developer of the app to steal data in the native app.

Trick user to open FB or any site. Open the requested site in the built-in browser. Let user login to the site, and then scrap all the information. Apple and Google can't stop that.

You can't do that in the browser.

> A native app could leak/abuse information like a web app, but in general the surface area is way smaller for that to happen on iOS
This comment hiding is a good feature. For judicious use, it greatly enhances the experience for both collaborators (people with write access to the repositories) and viewers. When overused, it allows collaborators to do what they want, as they should be able to, because GitHub provides tools for organizing communities* rather than communities themselves. For astute viewers, it provides a chance to observe the way that the collaborators manage their communities.

One exception is Japanese kakishibu/kaki-shibu: fermented unripe persimmons, creates a sort of rusty brown red which darkens over time, heavily used in traditional Japanese clothing for water-resistance and fire protection.

A previous company I worked at ran it in production. No problems with cockroach per se, but the code they wrote on top of it (to manage multiple writers) was a steaming pile. I’m not convinced that, even if the shim layer was better, it would have been the optimal design decision, but cockroach itself did pretty well while handling a relatively large amount of data all things considered.
You could build a declarative contract language on top of Etherum's Turing-complete language.
The problem, as I see it, is that there's generally no consequences for an employer (or anyone else) to put unenforceable clauses in contracts due to the concept of severability.

It doesn't matter if parts of a contract are unenforceable, because the rest of it still is, so you may as well put as much bullshit in and hope nobody notices.

In New Zealand, this is a big problem with rental contracts. Landlords and real estate agents will put a bunch of clauses that they know are unenforceable in the contract and hope you don't notice. Most people will think that they are enforceable though because they're in the contract. Usually I know better, but rather than bring it up with the agents at signing time, I've found the easiest thing to do is to just ignore the clauses, and when they try to enforce it, I tell them to pound sand.

"Used Core i5" is not buying a NUC. At least, I don't think there's a huge aftermarket of NUCs at this point. I don't think they sell in the volume that leads to large aftermarkets, like your average Dell business machine.

A five year old OptiPlex SFF PC though is available for around $100 or so, and capable of much more than any single-board PC.
Zipcar pays for the parking spots they use. Obviously, while they’re being rented the drivers may use public spots the same as car owners do.
True, but a native app can read (and inject scripts into) the DOM of any website in a WebView component within the app. The app can also read all cookies that are created from within the WebView (not cookies from Safari). Think how many apps use native "in app" webviews, e.g. reddit, facebook, etc.

Now think about login pages, oauth flows, etc...

There are lots of opportunities to slurp data from a native app.

Are you implying that this is a problem that arises specifically from Facebook's targeted advertising? I genuinely don't think that's the case.

It doesn't really matter if ads are served to everyone or if they are shown only to a targeted demographic - either way, only people who are interested will click on them. Also, I think it is safe to say that, roughly, it is only the efficiency of clicks per ad-view that will increase if one uses targeted advertising.

So, if the act of clicking a targeted advertisement does not in itself somehow "transfer" any more identifying data than a click on a regular ad would, which I don't think it does, then what's the problem?
I found the kits on pishop.us to be nice and priced well. For example, the PiZero W kit includes a case, Pi Zero W board, case with camera cable, and 2.5A usb power supply for $20+shipping.
My Beagle Bone Black gets no use at all. I find its only redeeming quality the little deterministic helper cores, but in practice I'd rather use an FPGA/CPLD.

For everything else, memory size, network speed, and flash speed trumps everything. For me ODROID XU4 is the best, followed by ODROID C2. The thinker board looks like a contender but I was disappointed by the comparison to RPi3 whose strengths (community) and weaknesses (everything else) are long well understood.
I, for one, feel it is necessary to be critical of the means of achieving that, namely, by treating your workers like Musk apparently does.
I checked out a few youtube videos like this one[1].

Now I'm wondering whether the lack of smoothness was actually jank or just the choice to animate at a low frame rate.

The animation looks bad but generally uniform in its timing. So I'm guessing whoever coded that just assumed their method of animation was so klunky that they went ahead and set the delay interval to a large value.

It might have helped to use a retro-style step animation, like filling up a cup a quarter at a time where each 1/4 cup is a lighter shade of the same color.

H3 was already quite old back when we looked. The support offered by Allwinner for old chips (like the H3) back then was basically "If you're buying a ton, sure we'll support!", which was very off-putting.

H5's mainline support is still lacking in key areas. I2C, I2S, and cpufreq are deal-breakers for our product. Of course, combined with the fact that it will soon be out of support for a not-huge-buyer like us, it is out-of-question.

The status of their latest offering, the H6, in that matrix shows how bleak it was when we were looking at H5 for our board design. It was when the latest release of Linux was 4.4. You can see how few H5 features were supported with 4.4, almost exactly like how few are supported on the H6 today.

Starting from about $121 shipped you can get an 8GB, 4 core Xeon E5620 (HP DL380 G6) with 10-100x the performance of a Pi. Probably better performance/W value in the used desktop sector (which labgopher doesn't focus on, unfortunately).

I took Udacity's Deep Learning Foundations nanodegree, that combined with a significant amount of github-as-resume legwork (plus two years sysadmin exp) landed me a job as a data engineer/analytics developer at a fortune 1000 company.

So I'd say it was worth the ~400 bucks.

I have a lot of doubts about this.

Is this adjusted for location? I imagine people may bike on sidewalks more in dangerous-for-cyclist cities.

According to the CDC, most (72%)[1] of bicycle deaths occur outside of intersections, so this may even be an acceptable risk. Most fatal crashes occur near, but not in intersections[2] - biking on the sidewalk completely avoids them.

Also, when you're biking on the sidewalk, your odds of getting doored into traffic go down substantially.

Another quotation from that page:

" There are certain sad appreciations we have to come to about human nature on the basis of these recent wars. One of them is that suffering does not always make men better. Another is that people are not always more reasonable than governments; that public opinion, or what passes for public opinion, is not invariably a moderating force in the jungle of politics. It may be true, and I suspect it is, that the mass of people everywhere are normally peace-loving and would accept many restraints and sacrifices in preference to the monstrous calamities of war. But I also suspect that what purports to be public opinion in most countries that consider themselves to have popular government is often not really the consensus of the feelings of the mass of the people at all, but rather the expression of the interests of special highly vocal minorities — politicians, commentators, and publicity-seekers of all sorts: people who live by their ability to draw attention to themselves and die, like fish out of water, if they are compelled to remain silent. These people take refuge in the pat and chauvinistic slogans because they are incapable of understanding any others, because these slogans are safer from the standpoint of short-term gain, because the truth is sometimes a poor competitor in the market place of ideas — complicated, unsatisfying, full of dilemma, always vulnerable to misinterpretation and abuse. The counsels of impatience and hatred can always be supported by the crudest and cheapest symbols; for the counsels of moderation, the reasons are often intricate, rather than emotional, and difficult to explain. And so the chauvinists of all times and places go their appointed way: plucking the easy fruits, reaping the little triumphs of the day at the expense of someone else tomorrow, deluging in noise and filth anyone who gets in their way, dancing their reckless dance on the prospects for human progress, drawing the shadow of a great doubt over the validity of democratic institutions. And until people learn to spot the fanning of mass emotions and the sowing of bitterness, suspicion, and intolerance as crimes in themselves — as perhaps the greatest disservice that can be done to the cause of popular government — this sort of thing will continue to occur."
I wouldn’t call the Nissan Leaf or GM Bolt+Volt luxury cars at any stretch - thought I appreciate they’re priced $10k more than they should be. I’m still convinced GM and BMW are deliberately trying to delay, if not sabotage, the mass adoption of BEV cars.

Not sure if it's helpful for your specific case, but that's pretty much what Tox is doing. They have a DHT and to 'avoid' leaking connection information they implemented onion routing[0]

> Tox generates a temporary public/private key pair used to make connections to peers in the DHT. Onion routing is used to store and locate Tox IDs, to make it more difficult to, for example, associate Alice and Bob together by who they are looking for in the network.

Again, I'm not sure if that'd be all that helpful in a case where e.g. Azure sees all the edits, I think timing attacks are pretty simple when you see the entire network. But then again, I'm not an expert and I also have no clue how your software works, so i don't want to go out on a limb.

Maturely said.
That writes all data twice. If it really does emulate hard drives that have per sector tags, it should have the same weakness. That being a misdirected write will put data with a correct checksum in the wrong location, which will be served without knowing.

It’s documentation suggests that it can detect on journal replay whether the data was written where it was supposed to be, but it is not going to catch sites clobbered by a misdirected write every time because sone times the wrong sector is perfectly overwritten with no overlap with other sectors.

This is not a replacement for ZFS zvold, which do checksum each block.
