Yeah, I know what Typescript is. It's another transpiled language. I don't care what the syntax looks like, the point is you've added a secondary level of knowledge required to operate in a codebase written in it, and most don't fluently know the first. Please tell me more about what I don't know.

I would say, rather, that peoples attitudes shape their responses to events in life that are beyond their control.
Yes, that seems a dubious claim. There's no way to know, except though simulations, how many dead ends there were. What we know is that all existing organisms share basic biochemical features. More or less the same nucleic acids, amino acids, and so on. So other paths arguably got competed out. Or merged, as we know for nuclei, mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotes. Probably also components of bacteria. Flagella, maybe? The whole DNA/RNA/protein thing could well be a kludge.

The especially cool aspect of searching for life elsewhere in the solar system is the possibility that we'll find other variants that dominated.
Suddenly they're in the same space as 3D-rendered movies: they can spend a lot of time once to make the result good for a million of spectators.

Most of the comments seems to say "it's a bad idea" , keep in mind Microsoft is now using React very intensively for most of their projects as well as angular (VSCode , Windows Server etc... )

Meaning it's not the language the real issue , it's what you do with it.

Also Junior at school are less and less trained with Java and C# but straight up with JS or PHP , so it will be much easier to integrate juniors on this re-written version of office rather the pile of legacy C++ / COM / C# bridges mess they have right now.
It's about UID mappings between namespaces. When you are UID=0 in namespace X and manage to get out of namespace X, then you are still UID=0 outside X, so you're root.

It's possible to remap UIDs such that root in namespace X has UID=12340, and when root gets out of X, then he's nobody.
It's interesting they're using Electron for Win7/Win8 when React Native for Windows has a WPF rendered that works nicely on Win7 and 8. Perhaps they just found that maintaining two slightly different RN office apps for Windows wasn't worth the effort given the declining market share of the older Windows versions.

I may have some anecdotal data to back this claim that BitTorrent seeders have decreased in the last decade (or more like the last half a decade), but there are plenty of seeders on hundreds, if not thousands, of private sites and trackers. I don't think that has decreased a lot. Maybe someone who has studied this better to state how things have changed.
Does this fix any of it?

On the contrary, I was trying to suggest that intelligence is a broad term, and that being skilled at pattern recognition is a singular ability that is one small sliver of what most people usually mean when they talk about intelligence. IQ doesn’t really measure what most people believe it measures, and may therefore be a misnomer.
It has nothing to do with language, it's about regional identity. Imagine if the French told Europe that France is now Europe, and what was Europe will now be called the Europes. It wouldn't matter if they say it in French or German.
Unless I’m mistaken the “deep access” is just bad reporting (the media are surfing on the wave of Facebook bashing).

What they mean by deep access is that the Facebook sharing system extension built into some OSes (including iOS pre iOS 9) had the possibility of accessing a lot of information from the connected Facebook account, which is not really anything to worry about (if your device’s OS is malicious you have way more to worry about).

This the end of innovation in online videos: "When companies like Netflix, which today closed with a market cap of almost $158 billion, can’t necessarily get enough negotiating power to ensure that consumers have direct access to them, no startup can ever hope to compete. America may believe in its entrepreneurs, but its competition laws have done nothing to keep the terrain open for them. Those implications are just beginning."

Sounds like this is the end of TV and Online video watching as we know it. Oh well, time to start reading books again ~ they'll never be able to take that from us.

I've never heard your definition of racism ("attributes that can be factually proven"?). In my experience, racism is subjective and every rationalization is done afterwards. How often have you heard of someone convincing an avowed racist of anything based on arguments?

You are exactly right. The electronic options exchanges facilitate market makers paying brokers for order flow.

The broker can send the order to the exchange with a field denoting their preferred market maker. In the absence of that field being populated, orders are allocated either by size (% of the best bid) or by time (who established the best bid first).

If that field is populated and the preferred market maker is on the best bid or best offer, he receives an outsized allocation of the order. The market maker keeps track of the number of contracts it has traded with that broker where the field was set and pays the broker whatever fee they've contractually agreed upon multiplied by the number of contracts.

The market maker can afford to do this because retail order flow is highly profitable to trade against (it's "dumb money"). In fact when a market maker runs a look back analysis on the profitability of his trading, he will see that his trading with other market makers and institutional orders results in almost no profit, whereas the retail flow is highly profitable.

This "payment for order flow" (PFOF) is not shared with the customer. So even if the customer pays no fee to trade, Robinhood can still earn a profit.

No, it’s literally an edge case. For the target market anyhow.

Also it’s not just “adding another port”. It’s adding all the circuitry, changing the internal routing, changing the logic board, adding at least one more IC... etc.

For what? An edge case.
Do they offer any reasons to these limitations?

In particular, is it due to DRM requirements, or pure performance? I suspect it's the former.
comment seems to be saying -- in modern windows (UWP) it'll be using native code, but microsoft is taking the easy path on win32. i guess some people are surprised that despite years of telling people that win32 is going away microsoft is finally making good. but I am not, I'm more excited than anything at another good sign that Microsoft is finally done with legacy windows.
That news is so frustrating to hear:

1) It would help break up local ISP monopolies. Yes, internet is a bit of a natural monopoly, but if we can't have NN then lets start breaking ground for new fiber,

2) Google will need to lobby for changes in local regulations that prohibit local ISPs... which helps the local ISP startup market.

I find that Spotify has a lot of mixed albums which are missing tracks due to licensing. I listen to electronic music and a large number of mixed albums are practically useless because of this.
Flutter basically works like a game engine. It has a rendering area and it uses Skia to paint stuff. This means it has a lot of control over what's going on and the bridge to the OS is minimal.

ReactNative is basically giving tons of instructions from the JS engine to the OS. Sure the performance of the OS is great, but this has limitations and many moving pieces.

For example animations used to be a problem in RN because someone thought it was a good idea to send instructions on every frame from the JS engine to the OS. Of course many devices can't keep up with this, and I imagine Facebook solved this by creating an animation engine on the native side of things and JS only passing start/end states and such.
This is so totally useful to me. I have a meeting in an hour with my team about how we're going to approach this
What makes the claim extraordinary? If I wanted to make an easily tradable form of USD on the blockchain, I would take a similar approach. Take deposits in US Dollars and issue an equal number of “dollar backed coins” on the blockchain that can then be sent around from exchange to exchange. Nothing about that seems extraordinary to me.

It is very likely the federal reserve is going to do something very similar in the coming years. They will also print more of their coin at will, but no one is going to make a stink about that cause they have already been doing it for a hundred years.
I'm talking about contemporary descriptions of US racism during the Soviet period. Things like lynching of black men because they supposedly looked at a white woman and the murder of civil rights leaders like MLK jr. These obviously were terrible things, but why were they reported in Russian? To make Soviet citizens feel that their land was morally superior. And likewise with Gulag literature in the West. It's easier to complain that your neighbors' house is dirty than to clean your own.
Lobbying the government to restore net neutrality is far cheaper than building out an ISP.

Also, 5G is coming by the end of this year with at least two providers (Verizon and T-Mobile) and once that happens, ATT and Comcast won't have as much stranglehold on the ISP market, so NN may not matter anymore.
Even worse. A simple script can be stored, reviewed and then executed. Reviewing a whole image is practically impossible.

Actually, it doesn't work like that.

If a stock is volatile, as TSLA is, the out of money (OTM) options will take that into consideration and the premium for it will be very very high.

A OTM straddle options trade probably a very bad choice. Like you said, if TSLA don't make a big move, you will lose. Even if they do make a big move, you will still lose because you are opening a trade on both directions.

My personal opinion on options is this:
1. Find stocks that move
2. Buy in the motion options
3. Expiration at least 6 weeks away, prefer to be longer. If price move into your target, great, take profit early.
This. I always wonder why discussions about the search for alien civilizations don't take the massive timescale more into consideration. Say you're watching a summary of our universe compressed to a hundred years. Each time a civilization pops up, it might just hold on long enough to last a nanosecond. We're just living that in that blip of a time.

My point stands if by “updating DOM” it is meant the developer approach to making DOM changes, which in React go implicitly through a virtual DOM first, yes, which is vastly faster than updating the DOM directly. And an Electron app doesn’t need to be slow just because it uses a browser DOM.

I work on a React project that has a faster UI than its native desktop counterpart.
I thought I was quite clear. Greece and Italy are, effectively, part of the Orient, due to their contiguous connection to the Mediterranean and easy shipping access. Greece is closer to Persia than it is to the British Isles!

The straight-line cultural connection from northern Europe to classical Greece is mostly a myth, established to sell a sense of importance to the Johnny-come-lately imperialists of Britain, Holland, and Germany. "Europe" is a more modern concept.

A real dollar was a certificate redeemable for a ounce of silver. The British pound was redeemable for a whole pound of silver.

A fake dollar is borrowed at interest against thin air, fiat currency, from a private bank called the Federal Reserve. It isn't Federal and there is no reserve. The Federal Reserve Act was written by Samuel Untermyer and others, including the Warburgs (who financed the Bolshevik revolution) and was passed on Christmas Eve. It is said Samuel Utermyer blackmailed president Woodro Wilson with a love letters. The same Samuel Utermyer funded the Scofield bible.

Styled-Components gives you efficiently “inlined” styles (creates unique CSS class used only by instances of your component) and doesn’t affect global CSS. It’s up to the developer to avoid polluting with global CSS and that’s honestly not very difficult.

The headline is misleading. It's not "the modern containerization trend" that is the root cause of this. I expected to read about something about container breakout or the difference between container confinement and VM confinement.

Instead, it turns out that it's the "store model" (Docker Hub in this case) and malware injection into that store that the article is really talking about.

The article also seems to talk about misconfigured systems permitting some level of admin access to everyone. That's not really a new "container" class of vulnerability though; it's the equivalent of leaving root ssh open with a weak password or similar.
Sure, but there are less of those cases than the other way around.
In Firefox you can just install the uMatrix extension. It not only allows you to block cookies, but also javascript, frames, and images. You can choose to block only third party elements, third party elements from known tracking/ad agencies, or even first party elements.

Or better yet, we can work toward a future (no later than 2021, I hope) when net neutrality can be brought back into force just as it was from 2015-2017 by FCC action or perhaps with more staying power via legislative action. Ground taken once can be taken twice.

If we resign ourselves to the current legal landscape we hand a victory to these corrupt players.

That said I'm sure the tech giants will want to hedge their bets.

9gag was caught out a few years back for automatically harvesting images off the front page of reddit, then posting it to 9gag like it was from a "real user", and artificially inflating the upvotes.

You could tell it was automated, because every once in a while, a very reddit specific meme would appear on the 9gag front page, with a bunch of confused comments from 9gag users who didn't understand it. Here's a writeup from a couple of years ago on it [1]

I don't doubt that other clickbait sites like BoredPanda do exactly the same thing.

Yeah, I believe the quote is incorrect (or at least out of context). If an attacker has access to control the docker daemon like in the attack the article is talking about, then yes that is root [0], but if only a container is exploited then I believe you need one of [1]:

1) an exploit in the kernel,

2) optimistic configuration that allows host access, or

3) a volume mount that exposes something vulnerable like the host root or docker socket.

The quoted article was talking about running within the container as a different user, so I think with context what the article was saying is that _if_ there is a container breakout it's much worse when running root within the container.

Control+Alt+Shift+D in netflix to see information like the resolution of your video stream, bitrate, etc. As sibling comments mention, the max resolution can depend on your browser.

On youtube, you can right click > stats for nerds for some similar info.
His point, as suggested by the comments agreeing with him and the claims that it's 'obvious', is that the parameters could be small. The problem with that is the parameters look large. Adopting a distribution and calculating it out gives much broader predictive distributions. You can have all the parameters not be that small but small enough, combined with minimal uncertainty, that on many draws from the posteriors, you get underpopulated universes once all the uncertainty and probabilities are integrated. What he wants to take by theft from individual parameters, handwaving them away as being small and thus causing the paradox, can be obtained without any trickery for a wide range of parameter values and 'margin of error's simply by the nature of the pipeline process producing a wide range of final outputs. It's akin to confusing the confidence interval around a mean for the predictive interval.

Doesn't this very story with handicapped anti-trust that let AT&T run amok teach us, that conflating ISP with media / video distribution is hurting the end user?

So no, they should not become ISPs, but they can help independent ISPs break current sick oligopolies.

Working anti-trust would simply forbid ISPs from owning media businesses.

Well, if you remove your assumptions about how incapable people are, TypeScript is the way to make large JS code bases maintainable. It doesn’t even change any of the JS syntax, it just adds to it. It’s the opposite of CoffeeScript in many ways.
