It's been a long time since this incident occurred, but from what I remember, Safari had/has a (non-default?) setting that blocked third party cookies, but allowed them upon user interaction. At some point Google added +1 buttons to their ads, and some aspect of how they implemented that tricked Safari into thinking the user interacted with the ad even when they didn't and allowed cookies to be sent. After this was pointed out Google updated the +1 buttons to no longer trigger this behavior in Safari. (Correct me if I'm wrong; this all happened years ago so I may be misremembering.)

OP mentions that he doesn't know which neighbor owns the drone. If he's in a neighborhood like mine, he may only have line of sight of his most immediate neighbor and past that it could be any of dozens of other houses within close proximity.
Can't wait for this. I've always wanted to know the Obama's through a more personal lens, outside of the political spectrum. Additionally, it paves a new path for politicians after public service. White house is not the only place where a difference can be made in the world.
It's easy to write these things off as poor designs in games, and I'm sure some are, but it's also likely that quite a few are creative solutions to solve problems with the provided resources at the time. Those creative solutions probably don't stand the test of time well as new API are created, bug fixes are released, and loopholes that were taken advantage of are closed.
I'm confused. Why is this article talking about it being a CI/CD platform when this Medium article [1] talks about it like an API Gateway with routing features. Surely it's not both?

[1]: https://medium.com/netflix-techblog/open-sourcing-zuul-2-82e...

Further, the TC article is about Zuul v3, whereas the Netflix blog post from today is announcing Zuul v2? I feel like I must be missing something?

Edit: Just a matter of crazy timing and name conflicts. It appears that they're entirely separate things.
> past driving behavior that may have affected the brake system

Could this mean that such a vehicle under test would brake differently than the average driver. Since the brake is constantly being slammed during repeated tests, the software adjusts breaking parameters? Still find it odd to implement such a system, but could explain the inconsistent results.
AFAIK the whole point of ssh-agent is that the private keys are NOT extractable by other processes.

https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-agent:

> The agent will never send a private key over its request channel. Instead, operations that require a private key will be performed by the agent, and the result will be returned to the requester. This way, private keys are not exposed to clients using the agent.

This sounds like a pretty gaping security hole by Microsoft. I would not assume loading private keys to an "ssh-agent" means giving any process (browser, email client etc.) running on the same machine access to the unencrypted values!
I'm not implying that we did, I was just clarifying after seeing two responses to the OP that seemingly missed the point they were trying to make.
As all the other replies have mentioned, it is the same thing if you assume linear dynamics and Gaussian noise in the KF. Besides non-linearity and non-Gaussianity, there are a few other extensions that make super useful - one is that you can add an external obervable/controllable control signal. Thinking of this as an "independent" variable that you can observe or manipulate to get your desired observed value of y. This will take you into the realm of control systems engineering. Also, it's trivial (computationally) to let the dynamics be a changing function of time (i.e. instead of the fixed matrix A, let it be A(t)) - this allows you to model some pretty sophisticated dynamical systems.
The headline is shocking, but 1,000 deaths leading to organ donations spread across the entire united states over a year is relatively small.

It's interesting that drug deaths can so easily lead us into a moral panic in a way that obesity deaths do not.
Yes, thanks - I was initially quite unclear, but I meant "the Scalia faction of the court", particularly Thomas and Gorsuch.
Indeed, with "fightback" I assumed either the citizens were destroying surveillance equipment or the city prevented surveillance equipment from being installed.

The parent comment was a bit excited, but there are major differences between money you use for groceries and money used for union dues.

The most relevant one to Janus is the fact that you can't choose which union your dues go to - but you have a number of choices about how to feed yourself with your dollars. You can go to a restaurant; go to Smart & Final; go to Whole Foods; in general, those dollars are fungible and decisions about how they are spent are made by you, not by the state. In contrast, your only options with a union are to either attempt to influence union leadership as a member (which, by definition, every member with differing opinions cannot succeed at) or to switch jobs. For example. let's say you're a prison guard in California (and a member of the CCPOA), but you disagree with your union's lobbying and donations to increase prison sentences for non-violent drug offenders. Ostensibly, this is negotiation you are benefiting from, and fully within the responsibilities of a union. Union dues aren't really your money.

One thing to note is that Google, like any responsible organization should, has layered security and threat models that include insiders as a potential threat; hopefully, while he could make RPC calls to internal services (which is itself a serious problem, hence the giant bounty) he hopefully could not authenticate to do anything any serious damage or access any sensitive information.

This is sort of by choice though, no? When I was looking to rent in SF, I always asked about parking arrangements. It's not that hard to find places that have garage parking arrangements, even in neighbourhoods with crowded street parking (e.g. sunset/richmond).

Also, SF seems somewhat unique in how bad street parking gets. In, e.g. Toronto, street parking in some areas near downtown is reserved for residents and outer neighbourhoods tend to be spacious enough that households have dedicated parking spaces.

As with programming languages, natural languages aren't uniform. So you might interpret "one reason" to mean only one or, since "only" wasn't said, give some leeway, assume good faith, and take it as "at least one, and that maybe enough", "primary", or whatever. It's underspecified, as the linguists say.
these learning platforms are not “the real thing”. They’re just artificial environments with building blocks designed for making toy projects, but no engineer would ever use them to build something of significance

It doesn’t have to be like that tho’. The original Beeb was designed for pedagogical uses sure, but people used them for “real work” too, including controlling lab experiments, machine tools, even financial applications. People used STs and Amiga’s for real work too.

It's striking, but trading a small amount of high-priced food for a much larger amount of low-priced food might be a good trade, provided that the imported food somehow gets to the people who need it.

To get some real insight into this we'd need to find out what goes wrong when that last step doesn't happen.
Thanks for the series of articles. I can't wait to see the rest of the world(especially the US) catch up with the visionary EU regulations. It's sad that so many Americans/Anglos dislike regulations so much.
Advice: get OUT of the UI/UX business, it's an ever-changing grinder. Unless you enjoy relearning 50 Shades of the Wheel every 3 years, bail fast and quick. It's getting worse over time, not better. An alternative may smaller internal applications where they care less about latest-and-greatest UI's. It still changes, but not as fast.
Adam Curtis has made quite a few documentaries that are really worth watching. A few that spring to mind are:

However they are thought provoking and extremely well made.
The SSH agent isn't divulging the keys. The OP is decrypting the keys from the underlying storage. The API used to protect the keys allows the keys to be decrypted without explicit password entry. The OP has the necessary password to decrypt the keys, so the API allows it. The SSH agent isn't involved.
You could say that the solution is that citizens should ensure a legal system that protects customers, prohibits predatory practices, and has a strong enforcement system. But that's still up to citizens to make that happen, it won't happen by itself.
As a point of reference, I drive a 2009 Kia Optima and average $1800 per year all-in expenses. This is with no car payment (it's paid off), only liability insurance, normal maintenance (including occasional large expenses), and ~10,000 miles a year driven. To add a car payment might be another $2000-$5000 a year.

With some egregious appealing to authority.. I will say that as someone who performs oil changes on our daily driver Honda Element, a 1987 VW camper (when it both had the original engine and the new ford Zetec engine it currently runs on) as well as my 2001 BMW motorcycle, 1970s cub cadet lawn tractor and the Harbor Freight engine I transplanted on to the snowblower...

I have never once encountered a ceased sump plug or stuck oil filter. Ever.

I'm not saying the monkey at Zippy-lubers wont strip a plug because he was busy texting his girlfriend at the same time. But I've pulled parts of engines that hadn't see action for decades. This is not a reason for a 6 month schedule

The only advice I've seen, and oddly enough it's not been mentioned in this thread so tack it onto the list of oil change folklore, is acidic buildup due to oxidization and the timeframe on that is roughly a year.

The supermarket analogy I used was solely to point out that unions are not publicly financed. It is the law that union members can get a refund on their portion of dues used for political purposes. I think you may not be aware of that.
I wish all languages were Lisps. Code as data, partial functions, higher order functions, everything is an expression, and recursive evaluation. That's the basis, and I wish more languages had a similar foundation.

Now, the article details Python sharing a lot of features with Common Lisp, often just called Lisp. Which is true, but the foundation is very different.
Another trick is, in chaotic handheld tracking shots, to light up the set and stop the lens down for a large depth of field. If you watch the long scenes in Children of Men for instance, even objects far away are sharp; this is because lens is stopped down. That way the subjects stay in focus even if the blocking is not terribly precise. In those long shots, Cuaron uses framing and contrast to direct your eye, rather than focus pulls. He creates depth with haze, which reduces contrast in distant objects.
Recursion? We don't need no stinking recursion

Another reason to scrap class-action lawsuits - other than they clog up the courts with mostly frivolous claims seeking payoff and that lawyers get the bulk of the winfall while dividing the scraps among their clients - it would also do away with plaintiffs' lawyers overselling their cases and supplying newspapers with a steady stream of clickbait.

It isn’t even a novel idea, unpayed internships still exist and they’re terrible. Certain industries have gotten rid of them, but it took a lot of fighting to do so.

Seems like childhood leukaemia would only be experienced by eldest children if this were so. You'd imagine that almost all children living with an older sibling are exposed to the works to "prime their immune system" from birth. That seems like such a strong signal it would have been commented on, possibly named for it, and yet I've never heard of leukaemia as a oldest child disease.

Obviously this is not my field and I have the cynicism of reading and hearing about cancer breakthroughs since before clickbait had a name.

There's really nothing absurd about this. A country like Ethiopia consists of independent actors. Someone might sell food abroad to Europe, someone in Europe might decide to send food to Ethiopia.

There's really no way to stop this other than to outlaw all exports of food while starting to centrally distribute food in Ethiopia. This is neither productive nor would it reduce the amount of starving people in Ethiopia. In fact, it would increase the amount of poverty.

There are certainly poor people who have trouble affording basic goods in California. Still the solution is not to stop all exports of goods from California to Washington and vice versa. This would just make everybody worse off.
Keep in mind there are limitations - the unique index / constraint has to include the partition keys, and foreign keys are possible in one direction only. This may be improved in the future, of course.
Genuinely curious: what recourse exists for folks who aren't google-sized with google-sized legal teams to push back against bad-faith/illegal actions like this particular one. It seems clear that they acted against their users interests, even if the legality has yet to be determined. Google's de-facto monopoly on web advertising means that there's no other good option, though (and it's not as easy to avoid 'all ads served by google' the way it is to, say, stop buying Nike shoes because you don't like their business practices).

No, not at all.

Egyptian is its own branch of the Afro-Asiatic languages, not particularly close to any Semitic language and today preserved in the form of Coptic as a liturgical language.

Ethiopian (presumably referring to Ge'ez) is a Semitic language but not particularly close to Arabic, and certainly not an Arabic dialect.

I don't think anyone knows what Trogodyte was. It may have been related to one of these other languages or it may have been totally different.

Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic (of which Syriac is a dialect) are all somewhat close but not mutually intelligible (they're more different than the Romance languages).

Median and Parthian are both Northwestern Iranian (Indo-European) languages, but it's not clear how similar they would've been at the time. Regardless, they're far from "arabic dialects", not sharing any common ancestors with Arabic within the last ten thousand years or so.

I don't know if you missed that she also spoke Koine Greek, but I think you probably know it's not an Arabic dialect.
Still missing:

* Dynamic repartitioning to balance query load/space/create new partitions when tables get over a certain size. Without this, when you get more than a few hundred TB of data, you'll end up with terrible hotspots where single partitions are much more loaded than others and theres nothing you can do about it.

* Query replanning: Query plans can sometimes have a lot of error. By replanning, one can start on another query plan if the existing plan is grossly wrong in its estimates.

* Lock Eliding instead of *Exclusive locks. Some major operations, such as schema changes, take locks which effectively stop the server responding to any other requests till the operation is done. Instead, these operations should work on a copy-on-write image of the database, repeatedly re-syncing with recently changed data until the final change necessary is small, and then atomically commit the change.

Certainly not. This was hundreds of years before before the Arab/Muslim conquests. Perhaps they had Semitic roots, but consider Hebrew and Syriac (still spoken in small measure today) -- it would be absurd to call them dialects of one another.
Yes, but later they say:

82-Year-Old Japanese Woman Finds Success in Coding
It's a Land Rover Discovery 3 - we had to have the whole undercarriage redone because it was getting some serious rust, so it had to be sand blasted and re-done from scratch, that alone was about $4000. Then we spent $1000 on a set of new summer tyres(winters will come next this year I suspect), and the A/C compressor seized up completely - that was about $1000 for the part + labour. This year we had to do the suspension maintenance, replace the brushings etc, that came to about $1500. Then the rear locking differential broke, it was about $2000 for a new one + labour. And just last week the car went into limp mode, the suspension lowered, the transmission wouldn't really shift - had to get the car towed to a LR garage. Turned out to be some tiny sensor, but diagnostics, plus part plus labour plus towing came to about $500. Then you have the annual maintenance, but that's not a lot compared to the rest. The car has about 200k miles on it and actually the engine runs absolutely fine, no issues there.

Yes, I guess it's a very complicated car with loads of electronics that can go wrong, and when they do go wrong it's expensive. But it's not a far fetched idea that my mum would be better off with getting a brand new car which doesn't suffer from random issues where you have to get the car towed to the garage.

The point of tipping
Farming high value cash crops for export and importing rice should be perfectly fine, agreed. But the problem of foreign investors taking all the gains abroad, forever, after striking some very one-sided deals through power imbalance and/or knowledge imbalance and/or one-time paying off some representatives remains untouched by that argument.

Actually I believe that for a country rich in cash crop potential, some form of communism might actually be not so bad (e.g. free market with a strong legal bias favoring the formation of co-ops in agriculture). Certainly not worse than an economy dominated by a few plantation lords (doubly so if those are foreign entities), if that's the only alternative. I wouldn't suggest anything for Ethiopia though, wouldn't suggest anything, just too dang little knowledge about the place (and my personal threshold for feeling comfortable with playing armchair president is embarrassingly low).
People paying for online streaming services versus cable may be a counter to that argument, although then it seems like it takes decades for the ad-fatigue to set in.

Pay-TV over cable arrived in the US in 1972. Netflix's streaming service was first available in 2007. The problem wasn't that people took decades to be annoyed by advertising on cable but that for decades Netflix (Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Now) did not exist. Once paid commercial-free streaming services arrived, uptake was rapid.
Re: "some of these will surely turn out to be revolutionary eventually" -- It may be true, but the real question is do YOU want to be the guinea pig to test them. Unless your job or shop is R&D, it's usually best to let other companies kick the tires; get the kinks out; and most importantly, test it for your particular domain.

Domain-mismatch is a common problem: something is expanding rapidly, but in the end doesn't work on many or most niches. One size does NOT fit all.

An example is the no-sql movement. People started writing ALL new applications with it, thinking "it's the future". Turns out the regular RDBMS are still the better option 98%+ of the time. "Microservices" are a similar boondoggle. Make sure you really need it.
