It's much simpler than that. You are a part of something that's bigger than yourself. Whether it's a team, a congregation or a community. The advantage that religions have is that they are to a certain extent aspirational in that you have a set of goals you want to live by. I think that makes it easier to deal with immediate or short-term adverse conditions because there is a long-term objective. However this is not restricted to religions, warrior codes appear to be remarkably effective in dealing with extreme adversity.
"The good news is that nearly all of them were protected by good old chip and pin".
- So what data is usually stored for chip and pin users?
- Does that mean non-chip and pin users' entire card data was stored in DB?
I don't agree with that... I would want all the early employees to be rewarded for taking a chance on that. I would want to go the other direction and give restricted stock (which can be early exercised) when the valuation is low and with less than 10 year vesting (such as the standard 4-year vesting with 1-year cliff), it's in the employees' best interests and costs the company nothing. Of course, down the road after later rounds the common stock valuation becomes prohibitively expensive and then it probably makes sense for stock options. But at least back in my day it seemed the common thing was to give restricted stock to founders and stock options to employees. Not sure if that's still a common thing or not?
If I threw billions of dollars of vested interest at Python/Ruby/COBOL/(insert language of your choice) we can probably make those run at JS speeds as well. Does that solve the fundamental drawbacks of the languages?

Nope. No it does not.

JavaScript is particularly egregious because of it's weird behaviour about types and coercion and you know, just silently failing, behaviour that I wouldn't want going on in any proper system that handles anything important. Other people have written at great length about JS's many failings.

JS is not the only language with nice async support, practically every mature language has async support and a good number of the compiled ones have proper parallel support as well.

Ah. So you essentially need 2 devices to set up a new device.
It's invaluable when you want to prototype or verify something from "production" without access to the backend and dev tools are "not enough":
1) save HTML of any page (you know, view-source:URL, ctrl+s),
2) put <base href="URL"> there,
3) open it from localhost or even as a file:///,
4) if you want to make changes to say CSS, again save the original and (absolutely) link your local duplicate. You have to rewrite url()s there, though: sadly, there is no @base for CSS.

Saved me some time of waiting for credentials or slow preview from backend.

It is an interesting way of seeing it. The way I look at it is that by not having universal healthcare, like the rest of the civilized world, is costing you a lot of money to sustain.

Take for example Lantus insulin. My gf needs about a box a month and in the US is at least $289.46. Here in Ireland without insurance you pay 40€ and we pay only 5 euro when properly insured. Actually you can apply for chronic disease card and it is free to you, those 5 euro cover all. Checking strips, insulin meter, needles, all covered. So it is not healthcare what is expensive, it is making money out of you.

Xaml and Wpf? Qt? I am honestly asking you, have you worked with React before? XAML has a learning curve of 2 years and more to get to expert level. I developed with it for more or less 5 years and i still have nightmares. Qt and the others are all imperative layout inflaters. React was a revolution, maybe the first cross platform paradigm that actually made sense. A learning curve that doesn't span more than a day. In all my years as a frontend developer i haven't seen a simpler way to create user interfaces. And sure as hell i would prefer React on the desktop or mobile over aged native toolkits that still struggle with obsolete oop-mvc-templating semantics, especially wpf and xaml, which in my opinion where the sole reason why i started hating my job.

companies will pay "cleaning companies" $20/hr for people who end up getting paid $10/hr to avoid the entanglement of needing to 'hire' employees directly at, say, $13/hr. There's often more nuance to that scenario - basically, most companies don't need full-time cleaners. However, it still strikes me as more than a bit odd.
GKE vs. AKS vs. EKS: State of Managed Kubernetes
Python 1 didn't know about Unicode, so characters were bytes and things were simple (for latin1 users).

Python 2 bolted on Unicode support, so now you had two kinds of strings (old-style strings and Unicode strings) with implicit conversions between them (that would blow up spectacularly when you least expected it) and overall a huge mess.

Python 3 removes the old-style strings (replacing them with the "bytes" type and explicit conversions), so that we once again have only one type of string, and once again things are simple. This clean-up unfortunately means that code relying the Python 2 string type confusion will break.

Another oft-repeated trope that doesn't follow in the data. In fact, most of the companies doing the biggest buybacks recently have had underperforming share prices.

For me the early 90s with the new technology came a lot of experimentation and new kinds of games. For example one of my favourite developers Bullfrog made games like Populous, Syndicate, Magic Carpet, Theme Park, Dungeon Keeper. All radically different game styles and all excellent games.

The late 90s and 00s to me was all dominant single games (e.g. Starcraft, Quake, Halflife). A lot of it was about having the latest graphics, with big studios winning. And spinoff games were done with an 'engine', which often made them look/feel/respond similar to the original. You also saw a lot of sequels and series taking over from new game concepts because of this. And most of them were in a few genres (FPS and RTS especially).

I agree its a good time now though, we are so flooded with different types of games that you have to do something interesting to get noticed.

>I’m not really that into the idea of JS-as-a-platform, but it obviously emerged because it fulfilled certain requirements that weren’t covered elsewhere.

Maybe they weren't covered for a reason?

The ability to have your web team churn out lowest common denominator bloated JS based mobile/desktop apps was not a real requirement, more like a wish of some.

Now businesses do that just because they can.
I would suggest it reveals that the breach wasn't an attempt to breach a database or static record of details but an attack on the processing of cards during payment in their POS card machines.

Not necessarily.

I've only given it a few minutes thought, but position and time data is really small, and easy to compress (you don't need to send anything while the user isn't moving the mouse). If it's sent in batches or over an already open websocket, it's not like it's using a ton of resources on the client.

Assuming all of their users (guessing a billion daily active users) are on desktop half of the time (a wildly incorrect assumption I'm sure), and the mouse position data is 1mb per person for the data you care about (which again, seems like a lot), that's 500tb.

For $25k you could store it all. That's nothing compared to the benefits of being able to identify bots on your platform.

Unfortunately, it's not just JS, but several other indicators. In practice, if you don't use the Tor Browser, it's as if you decided to leave tracks everywhere, almost identifying yourself. Yet, this is not common knowledge among web users. These are the things that children need to be taught in schools. The society as a whole needs to be aware and learn how to protect itself.
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is a good book, but nothing like the Gulag Archipelago. Ivan Denisovich was officially supported by the USSR in a brief period after Stalin's death, as a book that talks about the imprisonment, but waters it down so much as to make it not-so-terrible. Gulag Archipelago is much more interesting, and also much more eye-opening.
You seem to be arguing that, in balance, there are more low-paying jobs where the government can convince employers to increase wages, rather than the employers closing down and looking for another enterprise to pursue. Otherwise, even on aggregate, you are actively harming low-skilled or desperate workers who are looking for a job.

Let's assume, for argument's sake, that this is true - labor laws and protections increase wages in aggregate enough to account for all the jobs that are abandoned because they are not profitable enough to pay the required wages. There's one more thing to consider in Uber's case - the regional availability for jobs. Can we assume that the low-skilled adequate-income jobs you create through labor laws would be concentrated in richer towns, richer neighbourhoods, where the industry and market can afford the higher wages? What about the poorer neighbourhoods/towns? Uber(well, taxi service) allows people there to take a job which might not be available to them otherwise, without moving to a different town/neighbourhood.
I believe it was Sam Altman who had proposed a good solution to this, which is that you start off with a high number like that for employee #1 with decreasing numbers as the employee count goes up. If you are Instagram and become worth $1B with only 6 employees then everyone should benefit massively. On the other hand, if it takes 1000 employees to get to a great outcome, then obviously the founders and first employees will have been diluted by the addition of all the future employees required to achieve scale or an exit.
I'm not sure if this is actually how reCAPTCHA v2 works, but I've found moving my mouse and highlighting text immediately after ticking the box almost certainly passes the tests for human. I very rarely get asked to recognise images or pick X out of Y. When I don't do this, i.e., I don't move my mouse or highlight text on a page at random, I most certainly have to sit through a couple of screens of tests (I'm behind a shared IP with lots of users).

All this leads me to think mouse movements tracking is much more widespread.

>Because, it solves a problem

Some solutions are worse than the original problem.

Besides, not everything qualifies as a problem.

"I want to build a good mobile app" is a problem.

"I like to use Vue and want to use it specifically to quickly build an app no matter how slow / bloated the result will be" is not exactly a problem. More like a capricious wish that was granted...

It's like how "I want to eat" defines a problem, but "I want to eat McDonalds every day" is more like a bad judgement...
Sorry, no. It seems to have happened before GDPR came into force, and the law isn't retrospective.

It will however be the first time since GDPR that some of the difficult questions are asked and answered by the regulators with their new GDPR mentality. So no doubt the response will be informative.
Exactly. Or even 3 if you make use of security level 3.

The only exception is at the start when there are no passwords stored yet.
>"The good news is that nearly all of them were protected by good old chip and pin"

I assume this means that they didn't store the CVV (CVC2)? It's hard to tell right now, there isn't a huge amount of reliable information. They may have kept CVC1 info from magstripe cards.

Should go without saying though that chip and pin isn't really bulletproof security, and the last four digits of card numbers can be enough for identity fraud if the attacker is capable, especially in conjunction with other leaked information like addresses and DOB.
Polietik
Polietik is India's first data-driven social media platform for civic engagement. Polietik allows citizens of India to interact, engage and communicate with influencers (NGOs, social activists, bureaucrats, politics etc). Polieitk unlike other platforms such as Facebook and Twitter is solely dedicated to engaging and creating communities based on socio-economic and political causes in India. We believe people from every section and demographics of Indian society should have the chance to raise their voices and be heard by influencers. This would not only foster civic engagement in India but create a digital platform for direct democracy. Often incumbent platforms of communication have been biased towards a certain ideology or point of view. Polieitk is absolutely neutral and our only goal is to facilitate discourse.
Of course. If you can spare more than 600€ for a phone, you surely have no problem with pay tv for you giant tv at home. Some like the crowd no matter what, though.

I understand the iPad can be a useful dev environment if one is using one of the Web IDEs, e.g. https://aws.amazon.com/cloud9/?origin=c9io

What about an IDE that runs natively on the iPad using asm.js or Web assembly, with remote storage for files, and ssh for running on a remote dev machine? Even better, what about a complete local Linux environment, including gcc, using something like: https://bellard.org/jslinux/vm.html?cpu=riscv32&url=https://...

You can trust in basic programmer competence when there is a certification the programmer has to loose if he displays incompetence, like done for other engineers and also doctors and lawyers and many more.

Until then, you have to make the financial incentives in the short and long term such that they lead to desirable behavior, e.g., producing non-barfing middleware in this case.
You just described precisely why your scenario is impossible. Money is fundamentally just a representation of access to resources and labor, which are finite. You can create infinite money but you can't create infinite quantities of that which it represents.

There are about 1.9 billion acres of land in the continental united states. That works out to 5.8 acres per person. If people could afford to purchase 100 acres of land per year, and even a tiny percent of people utilized this - land prices would skyrocket. And a similar story would end up being true of other resources and labor costs.

In describing fantasy scenarios you have to consider the implications on the allocation of limited resources such that everything isn't just completely overwritten by inflation.
Worth noting that this depends on the locality.

For example, in Singapore it is very much illegal to ride them on the street. They're relegated to sidewalks, footpaths, and cycle paths.

I agree with your sentiment but ultimately what I or you think is insignificant, what matters is that people buy the iPad Pro, try to switch as advertised, discover the shortcomings of the device and switch back.

For what i understand the remoteStorage has different plugin storage you can use.
If you want your data to be available across multiple computer you should use a plugin which store data in a cloud storage like dropbox,gdrive o even S3.
But i think you should be able to implement something like you proposed by combining remoteStorage with webTorrent.

>* For a variety of reasons, in the last decade (or in the last couple), videogames matured as a narrative medium, which is a radical difference from the 90s. One could argue that, from an whole - including artistic - perspective, 2010s are the golden era.*

In an era when most mainstream movies are way dumbed down, I doubt games got much more "artistic" and "narrative".

(Especially if one considers the text and graphic adventure games in the 80s/90s).

At best they got some ersatz narrative qualities, but nothing to write home about.

Weather forecasts predict weather that hasn't happened yet. What is the point in predicting something that has happened?
It was my teenagerhood, of course it was a golden age.

More seriously, the rate of technical change in games development was huge during the 90s. We went from 3D being barely possible without textures to Half-Life 1's cinematic-style monorail introduction (which was visually better than most of the "full motion video" we'd seen in games up to that point). Graphics accelerators became a consumer product.

The development of the tech also made a wide open space for innovation in art direction - each new game looked noticeably different as well, in a way that's been attenuated among all the brown gritty shooters of today.

Doom also popularised multiplayer gaming (not really a thing on PCs at that point, limited to splitscreen on consoles). And it was the first game I encountered that really embraced modding - the Doom editors allowed the re-use and re-mix of the game assets into your own levels and all sorts of strange doom-flavoured experiences.
