The key words in the article is the "if" part, "If it’s a trustworthy actor and does in fact maintain that buy wall".

There's a very, very, very large difference between an issuer that actually "holds all of the dollars from those sales in reserve in a bank account" and an issuer that only makes unaudited claims that they do so, like Tether. In the absence of reasonably expected evidence, you should assume that such claims may not be true.
Or just block it and display a warning that the user can accept before the operation is allowed. And as you say: all canvas impls should come in 2 flavors, one “reference” software impl that guarantees the exact same pixels given the exact same operations. Using any other impl should block readpixel or redraw with the reference impl before reading.

I realize there are edge use cases that need reading a pixel I just don’t agree with the idea that they would more important than limiting tracking. So I think the canvas limiting mode (used in ff safe mode) should be default.
Which is where ability to develop passion or find it at difference places becomes great. You can find passion to something else, something that you can live on.
When do you ever have to rely on 100% top of mind knowledge like that when programming anyway? I usually have a console open and google even fairly trivial things because of how much quicker (second or ~10) it is to look at the API than it is to get it wrong when reloading my code and having to try again.

Usually I challenge getting silly 'traverse this data structure' questions and want to hear what they expect to get out of it.

Side note: The correct expression is "I _couldn't_ care less"

Both CMP and MOSIS have a number of options that come in under US$10k for a handful of prototypes. Large process nodes, so they won't be competitive for digital stuff, but for analog or mostly analog mixed-signal, they might actually be able to beat anything you can buy off the shelf. Haven't tried it yet myself, though.

> And the idea that passions are found fully formed implies that the number of interests a person has is limited.

Never met someone whose passion was "found fully formed" though...

Either way if you want to make a living out of your interest you need to develop your passion/talent. Passion alone will get you nowhere without (years of) training. Use common sense.
Russia may decide they're OK with blocking AWS. Comcast probably isn't going to do that. Is it really essential that we solve the Russia problem before we solve the Comcast problem?

Even on the Russia side of things there are advantages.

If you use your ISP's DNS, they can block a specific site or service with very high granularity and zero cost. If you don't, they can still block things, but they have to resort to cruder methods that risk annoying customers/citizens and degrading their overall network health.

Over time these extra annoyances might become a kind of death by 1000 cuts, allowing ISPs and countries that don't censor to outperform them in ways that even ordinary, privacy/freedom ambivalent people care about.

This is all quite proper. It's healthy for censorship (even when it's possible) to have costs. Where possible, we should try to build technological infrastructure so that networks that censor won't be able to compete on an even ground with the networks that don't.

What happened with the tech industry is that venture capitalists generated so much hype around tech startups that it attracted a huge amount of people who were only passionate about money. Thanks to their fake smiles, polished looks, well tuned voices and flashy, well-rehearsed pitches, these people were more successful in the industry (on average) than people who were actually passionate about the actual technology.

Passionate people were essentially forced to work for the snake oil salesmen whose only passions in life are money and self-aggrandizement.
Can anyone tell me what is more expensive about hypersonic jet travel?

Fuel costs, I would imagine, are higher- wind resistance is a function of speed squared after all. But where else does the higher price come from? Are the jets just that much more expensive to build? If so, why?
I was surprised to know that Verilog is a type of reactive programming language, which basically responds to multiple events of clock propagation and signal transfer.

Why not VHDL then?
Because you're pushing a distinction (physical vs psychological addiction) that is mostly irrelevant but also untrue.

There are many drugs that aren't strongly physically addictive, but most people recognise that the misuse of those drugs can cause severe harm. Cannabis should be in this category.

I know there are Hipchat bots that can automatically respond to public rooms based on filters. I've mostly seen them in the context of "Hey, we saw you asking about <product we don't support>. Go ask at <the other team's room>.". If there's something like this for Slack (and I'm sure the API exists if not), that could be a way of integrating the FAQ into their workflow.

Personally I think Google should be scrutinized.
Some time back there was an article about the use of floppies in the Norwegian health service. The reason for it was that some doctors stuck to their DOS based patient journals, as they were fully keyboard operated. Thus they were able to operate them by memorizing the inputs, and could bring up various info without taking their focus of the patient.

And i have observed similar in stores that used DOS based POS terminals, where the operator could add your latest purchase and bring up warranty history with barely a glance at the screen.

And in a more modern sense, i see people getting all giddy about the Android based Blackberry phones because now they have an actual keyboard to use. Meaning that they can hammer out a text or similar on tactile alone.
well there is always mapillary which only requires a single smartphone camera at the least. some people go the extra mile and mount a camera pointing each direction, others use 360 cameras. you can also upload dash cam video and it will extract photos from it.

its sort of like quantity over quality. google/apple map cars record great quality but there is too much area to cover so they can only update maybe every few years. (some places still arent on google street view yet).
whereas most people have decent cameras on their phones these days so the area they travel around could potentially be updated more often, just with lower quality

the photos are analysed in much the same way as described in the article... faces and licence plates are blurred, a (rough) 3d point cloud is made, street signs are analysed and objects are segmented (which they will be using for.

unfortunately mapillary is not public domain but its still a better system than each company recording their own streetview data and keeping it to themselves. it just seems ridiculous for each company to put so much effort into creating a full detailed map of the world when they could all just be contributing to one map (like openstreetmap)
Civilitty's answer is good, but I think the $4–$12k price is not subsidized; it's just CMP’s normal price. Older process nodes are even cheaper. MOSIS is the US equivalent of CMP. I don't know what the Chinese equivalent is but I am sure there is one.

This is a process a substantial number of undergraduate students manage to get through in a semester each year. Some universities will foot the MOSIS or CMP bill if the design passes DRCs.

If being addicted to Oxy was 95-99% less harmful than being addicted to heroin, I think we'd be OK with a small rise in Oxy users as heroin use fell off.

But as these are not in any way analagous to the current situation, it seems silly to talk about them.
An alternative view to all the naysayers here who say that the loosey-goosey way football does time is part of the charm of the game.

On football fan sites lots of people bring up the idea of more precise timekeeping - 35 minute halves with the clock stopped when play has stopped. This is often offered as a solution to teams that, upon gaining an unexpected lead, will waste time at free kicks, throw-ins, and injuries. They do this confident in the knowledge that the referee will never add on more than 3 minutes at the end barring something truly unusual, but they will have wasted far more than 3 minutes.
The concept was tried in SF and shut down.

Best i can tell, it is the national broadcasters that keep them in operation because they don't have to consider ad revenue. USA do not have anything like that, so it would not surprise me that their channels wants to phase it out (or forgo implementing it in the first place).
Your worry is unfounded, apparently. So far there's no evidence of e-cigs being a gateway to regular ones.
In addition to possible bad press, it’s also common for people to not know the law. And as I read news stories asking if the reader knew the difference between “best before”, “sell by”, and “use by”, I would also expect some to destroy the produce out of a misguided but kind desire to avoid harming those who they could legally and effectively help.
Thanks, and thanks for spending a big chunk of your time here!
I’m a privacy defeatist because the vast majority of people who argue for things like “https everywhere” and secure DNS nevertheless still use CC payments and buy most of their things online, which practically defeats the whole purpose: your CC-processor or bank now know when and if you’re going to have sex (you bought some condoms with your CC), know your political and ideological affiliations (based on the books you’ve purchased online) etc etc.
It’s all pretty much a farse, I’d call it “voodoo privacy”.

Having grown up in a hot place (Australia) - we think about ventilation a lot.

You're right - cross ventilation is really important. Generally you want to pull air in as low as possible as it's cooler. And then push out as high as possible. As "cross ventilation" somewhat implies, usually this is across a room or building for the best airflow.

A fan in a regular-height window and an open vent (a higher window, door louver) generally works pretty well. Even if it's the same window, it'll work ok.
I’m no expert by any means but one major factor is that the airframe is subjected to a lot of heat due to friction which can require exotic or expensive construction materials.
Bitcoin pow is intentionally useless. The reasoning is that if there were alternative uses, the value of those alternatives could fluctuate and negatively impact hash rate.

How was that different than ideas found in object oriented programming?
This isn't a C vs Scheme (or whatever) discussion. It's about the utility of (tail) recursion vs iterative constructs. That C compilers may optimise tail recursion isn't relevant.
Yeah, that would work even better at deflecting heat - there's a reason chemists and physicists use simple aluminium foil as make-shift insulators (might also block some the neighbour's WiFi signal, boosting the reception of your own, but that's a bit of a tin-foil hypothesis :P).

You'd miss on the evaporation cooling though. Maybe a two-layer approach would work best of all low-tech hacks! :)

In the past, when I was living in an apartment with a wider windowsill, I used to put a reflector made from cardboard covered with aluminium foil on the inside and sun-hungry plants inbetween, creating a miniature greenhouse. Open windows were a requirement of course, because it would still trap heat otherwise.
I often find that Google sends me to scam sites like Elsevier instead of Library Genesis or TPB when what I am searching for can be found there. Is there a better search engine out there that solves this problem?
Fuel costs are a lot higher. Concorde used four times as much fuel per passanger as a 747. Plane costs are higher—you need exotic materials and building techniques in the aircraft and engines to deal with the high temperatures. But what really gets you is the economics of building niche products. Even if the long run incremental cost diffefence isn’t that much (say double), only a tiny fraction of people will be willing to pay the premium. That means you might amortize your fixed development costs, which will be much higher of that of a conventional jet, over 1/100 as many planes. 1,500 747s were ever built, but just 20 concordes. The 787 cost $32 billion to develop. Amortizing that over just dozens instead of hundreds or thousands causes per-unit costs to explode.
Of all those paradoxical thought experiments, this is still my favorite, or really high up at least. Maybe because I've heard it at a young age and my little brain was all flabbergasted. The impression must have lasted.

> How is this acceptable?

Have to rather ask why is it not acceptable? Google can and does do what it likes or thinks it has to.

You're a sheep in one of googles pastures - a nice, cozy place in the wild world of the internet. They have made it comfy and easy to use because most sheep have no clue how to use the internet otherwise. There's relative safety in the numbers, but sheep get sheared regularly, and some get eaten, either by the shepherd or the predators that manage to sneak in.

>I can't possibly move away from gmail,...

That's patently false. Lots of options mentioned here and elsewhere. Rather admit you don't want to. Nothing wrong with that.

Adding some more relevant information:

India is having a digital revolution since the launch of Reliance Jio. They had launched a phone called as JioPhone [1]. This is powered by KaiOS, hence the market share of KaiOS in India has significantly increased. KaiOS is the second most popular mobile OS in India (ahead of iOS)[3].

JioPhone sold nearly 40 million units in the last quarter[2]! This is a huge market for Google to build apps for as well.

Faux symbolism and cheap pandering?

The whole article seems to be based on this study:

https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~maffeis/331/EffectivenessOfFingerp...

And sees it as an indicator that preventing fingerprinting is possible:

Only a third of users had unique fingerprints,
despite the researchers’ use of a comprehensive
set of 17 fingerprinting attributes.

To me, the 17 attributes do not seem comprehensive at all. For example they don't make use of the users IP. So much can be derived from the IP. Carrier, approximate location etc. They also don't use the local IP, which is leaked via WebRTC:

https://browserleaks.com/webrtc

They also don't seem to measure the performance of CPU, RAM and GPU when performing different tasks.

But yes: Browsers should do more to prevent fingerprinting. But it seems they have no inclination to do so. That they don't plug the WebRTC hole that leaks the local IP is a strong indicator for me that privacy is low on the list of the browser vendors. Or maybe not on the list at all.
I thought the same thing until I started doing a significant amount of code reviews. You need to know these things to explain to more junior devs to help them become better programmers.

Basically, Fitbit are shutting down the Pebble servers today. Peoples watches will continue to work but they wont be able to control apps using voice anymore and they wont be able to install new apps.

They've been working with Rebble.io to hand over services. They're not ready yet, but you may want to sign up to rebble.io before pebble goes away today in order to transfer your data across.

I knew nothing about this deadline until this morning when I got an app update for the Pebble app on my phone and I read the listed changes.

That's ironic that you responded with the points, exact spirit of which the parent rebukes.

I explore passion because I think there are things more "economical" to be passionate about.

I am now a software developer.
When I was in high-school I didn't get the point of computers beyond playing pc games all summer long.
I just heard once in a while "if you pick cumputers major you will have a descent job".
I was a painter in high-school. I wanted to create amazing and realistic paintings to wow everyone. And I wowed everyone.
The passion to wow people was beyond school grades, parties and sleeping hours.
After high school I lost my art passion immediately (art is not practical) and explored my passions again.
I want to solve real problems and finally got the "purpose" of computers in the world.

I found that I enjoy almost everything I do if stress free. I love working, cleaning, cooking, shopping, fixing, gardening, eating slowly, as long I am not rushing.
Cleaning and gardening are great "exercise" you activate a lot of muscles with a reward at the end. Clean house and nice garden.
When I do it I try to forget about time which turns it to an ecstasy almost.

There is one thing that is obviously worthy to be passionate about which I am struggeling to crack for years (although improving much).

Passion for people. Many tasks that involve people are often a pain for me. I love people but its hard to "just call someone". Just "invite someone to hang out".
Maybe is because "just hangout with someone" is not clearly defined. What is the point? what do we want to talk about?
I don't socialize a lot outside of work. Why people prefer video games over socializing? I find this topic facinating...

Interesting issue. We had the same issues albeit on a much smaller scale so we actually are building a bot that tries to parse some common words and checks to see if it has been answered by an engineer already and presents the responses.

We could’ve created an FAQ but thought it was cool to do something like that.

We might actually end up with a hybrid solution after giving the bot a go.
