Privacy is one but not the only problem with centralised web search.
The other big problem is manipulation of search results.
Of course it already happens for ads and filesharing and that is bad.
But worst is when they do it for political reasons. Bing cannot tell who you are, but they can still promote their own agenda by tweaking the ranking of search results. Blog against MS? Send it to the 10th page or hide it entirely. Of course I use here a very innocuous example. You can imagine the power of tweaking search results. You can change the perception of reality, essentially.
> On the other hand, if you use that criteria you exclude basically everyone who is not a commercial seller, which is one of the main points of craigslist-type sites.

I was merely exaggerating criteria to get across a point regarding a very critical fundamental difference between eBay vs. Craigslist, not trying to list a comprehensive set of criteria for choosing reputable sellers. Evidently this wasn't clear, so to clarify: I also think someone who's merely sold 10-15 items of comparable prices over the past 4-5 years ago can also be sufficiently trustworthy if their reviews are 100% positive. And again, none of this is to say these criteria could not be relaxed or tightened depending on the situation, item price, etc... and, in general, you should also incorporate your common sense (which I would hope could go without saying).
Firefox is developed by a for-profit corporation the Mozilla Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation. It's of course not to say that the Mozilla Corporation is an evil profit seeker, but merely a perspective.

I for one think that modern web standards are used by most web site authors not in users interests. Therefore implementing those standards in good faith not necessarily mean implementing an _user_ agent. Firefox is great, but web as it is mostly served is increasingly not. I just would like to see an user agent dedicated to users, not standards. Even if it would mean omitting JS and most of CSS. I would use it for information seeking and Firefox for necessary web apps.
Well, you're still sending information to Bing. For example, let's say you want to know if someone patented idea X. You can search for X on Qwant, but since they send the information to Bing, now Microsoft knows about X and they can scoop you. Just one example.
You are right of course, but I think I meant something else with domination. The other studios (per the original article) have those 2-week timespans and kind of agreed on some "major player industry standard" - and Disney is on the rise now (my reading) and enforcing these 4-week timespans and are trying to dominate the entertainment market in an unprecedented way.

I was not trying to say Time Warner etc are less focused on hypercapitalism, market share and so on. It feels less winner-takes-it-all.

Ask HN: What would you do, if your colleague is writing ridiculously bad code?
We are in start up, where no one knew anyone before. We divided our work and couple of weeks / months later when we were putting it together I saw his code. Methods which are hundres of lines long, classes has 2k lines, comments like "// ret" above return statement, "// init" above variable definition, etc. When I said something ( I tried to be polite ), the response was "there is a difference between academic code and real world code", or "ok, do it yourself". I even generated code statistics and describe it - cyclomatic complexity with 41 and NPath complexity with more than 1.8 milion is not good. But nothing changed...

Too many vowels? Would you prefer 'pldg' ? ;) Unless you meant the stringly-typed arguments in which case I'm 100% with you, they're asking for trouble.
I'd be more than happy to discuss this further with you or your organisation. Feel free to get in touch, my email is in my profile.

I think what the parent is alluding to is that a box shape does not cut through the air very well, and that they should add a more aerodynamic shape to make it easier on the drone.
a few things: 1) plugins, they routinely break, the API they provide breaks, functionality changes, or the API they rely on also changes. Its a mine field.

2) bootstrapping a _secure_ jenkins server to the point where its able to accept jobs is a monumental faff. (gitlab runner is far far more simple, if you want Uber free, circle CI if you don't mind paying)

3) its just so much _effort_

Jenkins was great compared to the field in 2010/1 (after it forked changed from alfred) ever since it's failed to move in the right direction.

It over complicated what is essentially a cron/at daemon with web gui.
Go has a mark-and-sweep gc so in principle they can support explicit deallocation.

Punk is so interesting in his variations. Compare with metal where speed, black, alternative etc are quite coded and baroque, whereas punk still manages to stat fresh.

I think while there are plenty genre that requires more skill than punk, that doesn’t make punk itself the musical equivalent of simpleton.

In some aspects, it’s the artigianal counterpart of the mass produced pop.
I agree. Naming things is so hard. It's always nice when people do manage to come up with terse names.

Statistically, if they geolocate you once per 24h, they will find you either at home or at work. Once both locations are known, determining which is which does not strike me as very hard.
People decide in the first 10 seconds whether they're going to listen to you or use your session to catch up on email. So make your intro good. Catch their attention. Surprise and intrigue them. Memorize and practise your intro over and over again so when you walk on stage you can get comfortable without having to worry about the specific words you're saying. Memorize your conclusion too so you can bring it home with a strong call to action (bonus points if you tie it back to your intro!). People remember the first and last things you say the most, so make those words count.
I meant that there are well discussed strategies for handling calls that are RPC-oriented rather than CRUD, not that there are REST libraries that have solved the problem.

Ultimately we find ourselves building 80-90% CRUD operations with edge cases that don’t entirely fit with the straightforward RESTful toolset, and in those situations making a call on how to handle it in code is a topic that has by now been more or less discussed to death and becomes a stylistic choice.

REST isn’t a protocol, there is definitely interpretation at work.

I was using the term “RPC” to cover topics that are outside the scope of CRUD, “do a thing” as opposed to “manipulate a thing”.
There are all kinds of people believing in Islam. It is a religion/ideology. It is NOT a race. So you jumped to a wrong conclusion.
To be exact, it is 'the IP address of Vivaldi users by removing the last octet of the IP address'.

It's true that they can still approximate location based on that. But unless you're travelling a lot so that you've many locations in their record, it's impossible for them to identify you.
But still gets looked down on. It's a running joke in pretty much everywhere I've worked that if you see someone with CEH and/or CISSP in their email signature - like a badge of honour - that you know you're going to be in for a real tough time.
1st gen roadster isn't really a Tesla design, that's just a Lotus Elise body.
It seems to me that REST "was never meant to solve web developers problems" at first place and that dissertation wasn't addressed to them. I'm glad we are getting out of REST. Devs need protocols and specifications, not vague architectural ideas that leads to "you're doing it wrong" blog posts. There is no "you're doing it wrong" with GraphQL, or SOAP, or JSON-RPC, you either follow the spec or you don't.
For me it is the opposite, and I have been using eBay since the early days.

I can get from Amazon stuff that is new, that I can return with minimal fuss, at my doorstep, often next day.

Whatever savings I might get using the same item used on eBay do not compensate the time and mental strain of dealing with shipping delays, potential scammers, articles with defects "unmentioned" in the original description, non-existent warranty.

Nowadays I use it only for very specific items that cannot be found on Amazon, or just to sell spare stuff (in the very rare occasions where it's worth it).
This x10. Being aware of "who" / "what" is in the room - and then (the tricky part) self-aware of how they may see you.

Use this ance-data to shape your tone and phrasing.
I find it far more interesting on how other content is dealt with. From what I can gather from the heise.de and this report, unless it's specifically against ethnic or religious groups, it stays up. "dirty muslims" is not okay, "dirty muslim immigrants" is. I fail to see the difference, in both cases the author is going against a group of people based on attributes of that group.

I hope that we can get federated facebook alternatives off the ground, FB is clearly not capable of solving these problems on their own without displeasing everyone. Want to see these comments?

Thanks!

My own personal take on RPC being solved is that we're all pretty much agreed it's not a good idea unless you absolutely have to!

(I mean RPC in it's more narrow definition as remote, synchronous function calls - e.g. CORBA, SOAP, XML-RPC or the original Unix RPC protocol - for me this is what makes the resource oriented approach of REST a much more appealing approach)
Is there a way to opt-out or disable this telemetry? Under privacy laws isn't Vivaldi supposed to give users a choice: whether they want to be tracked or not?
I usually read this at least once a year. It makes me laugh, and then bitterly weep as I realize how accurate it is. It’s well-written enough that I read it to my (relatively non-technically) wife and she understood the vast majority of it.
I've been using Qwant for half a year now and like it a lot.
This does sound like Ansible does not make it easy to control it from pure Python. It looks an ingenious way to get around it.

I came across this Python wrapper around Ansible yesterday: http://suitable.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Official docs declare themselves deprecated...

Anyway, I'll have to start testing this soon. Thank you so much for making it!
Along the same lines, convergence is mentioned as a candidate for interpretability but convexity is not mentioned even once.
Rivers are especially hard to detect because to model what people see the program would have to look at actual shapes of the letters. Two similar configurations of character boxes may or may not give the appearance of a river depending on which characters are in these boxes. E.g. if a diagonal river passes along the long stem of "y", the shape of the letter contributes to the illusion, but if the river goes along the short stem, them the longer stem will visually work against it.

In Belgium I can write a thesis about whatever lie I want. Our king is dead and an imposter took his place, the Belgium genocide in the Congo never happened, etc, etc..

But If I write that the holocaust never happened I face jail time.

Of course it happened! And anybody who writes a book denying that should be ridiculed, and openly countered (verbally).

We effectively have free speech (... except for this one very specific thing)
The origin mask quote(“The conjunction of two events can’t be more likely than just one event by itself.”) was in the context of an experiment in which subjects were given a description of a person and they responded that it was more likely she was a “feminist bank-teller” than either just a feminist or just a bank-teller. Here the appeal to formal probability is justified because obviously there are more bank-tellers than feminist bank-tellers, and likewise more feminists than feminist bank tellers.

Hmmm, but is REST so often conflated with 'just' CRUD, because that is all people really want from REST, or is it that this perception is so pervasive that people don't know what the potential is. Chicken or Egg? I'm saying Egg, but I'm not saying which that relates to :)

Most often:

* Tim Ferris show - kinda like the interviews, and really like the experimental mind-set of Ferris

Less often:

* Magic Readalong - Two guys talking 20 minutes about interesting functional programming and life. These are the conversations I wish I would be having with my friends over beer.

* Intelligence Squared - really good traditional british-style panel debates. Often geopolitical in nature. These are the topics we actually do like to discuss over beer.

Sometimes, mostly game-podcasts:

* The Short Game podcast - finally a podcast aobut short-enough games I actually am able to finish :) This is how I found out about Bithell-games {Subsurface,Quarantine}-Circular

* Dad 'n Sons - i.e. the Superbunnyhop and friends

* Cooptional Podcast - still like them, they seem to be holding the course with Genna Bain taking over after John Bain's death
The Most Functional Urban Tech Backpack Was Funded in Only 7 Hrs on Kickstarter
Is it strictly a tech talk? As someone else said here, skip the cruft and get to the point. I came to your talk to learn about the technology, not your life story.

Some people are good at wrapping tech talks into interesting stories. But they are very rare in my experience. If you don't have a story to tell, don't force it. Don't try to present everything as this grand idea that's related to everything you've done since childhood. It gets old really fast.

I've seen students take a course in speaking where they hammer into them this "three act structure". Invariably, the talks they give would be much better if they would just stick to the technology.
I wonder what they’ll make of “Manhattan-henge”. That always comes to mind when I hear of folks of the Graham Hancock type speaking knowingly of advanced astronomical intentons being encoded into the various layouts of ancient buildings... and I find myself thinking “er, no... stuff lining up on astronomically relevant dates occurs whenever you arrange stuff regularly, and if you’re willing to ‘force’ these to fall on equinoxes or solstices you only have to mess around with the dates you’re willing to quote for construction”.

(To wit, some of these theories may be correct, but it’s easy for one’s sense of skepticism to be blindsided by apparently compelling cases that arise by sheer chance.)

Why would one want that design constraint?

It should be possible to fit a package fairing when possible and get more efficiency.

But surely it’s preferable to design for odd-shaped and cuboid packages, and take the efficiency hit? The result is a far more useful machine.

> But for the past several years it seems to be dominated by "professional" sellers doing buy-it-now bulk-sells of new cheap stuff shipped directly from China/Hong Kong that takes 6-8 weeks to arrive then when it does it is often awful quality and/or not what was in the listing. This ruined it for me.

It depends on what you're buying I think, and whether you actually care that it's a cheap knock-off... and whether you're willing to dispute it if it turns out to be genuinely awful. (Why wouldn't you?) In my case I bought a laptop keyboard at some point that I didn't really expect to find anywhere at a reasonable price, so I kind of expected what I got to be a cheap knock-off, and sure enough it was, and did have minor problems. But it wasn't a big deal; I used it and it did the job and I was happy. On the other hand, just 2-3 weeks ago I went looking for -- and found & bought -- a used version of a particular scanner I wanted at ~10% of the MSRP (which BTW still sells at near the MSRP right now if you find it new-ish), and it's been working just fine. It's just not the kind of thing that sellers sell in bulks... and I frankly don't expect I could even find a fake version of it no matter how hard I tried.
I actually liked Infinity War for breaking the formula. In the end, the antagonist won and half the universe died. They didn't pull out a last ditch win using the power of friendship or childhood promises from flashbacks or other such cliches.

Of course, this will all be subverted when the sequel comes out, but I can at least enjoy it for now.
From what I have seen, the "box" here is not a cube, but more of an aerodynamically-sound shape (at least to a layman's understanding of pointy-things-are-more-aerodynamic).

It looks like this is a case of the stereotypical academization. Fielding looked at the Web, and abstracted it, and calls it REST Architecture.

And of course, the problem is that nobody sits down to just do a quick World Wide Web API for an app, or an internal corporate business-as-usual thingie. In fact since the original hypertext project at CERN no one every did it. We still use the same Web, incrementally transformed into what it is today, but still the same HTML, same Content-Types, and HTML1.0-like markup. All eaten and excreted by JavaScript of course, but that's a prime example of something incremental, and not exactly thought out.

Moreover, there's not much to say about media types driving interaction, because 99.9% of the Web is GET GET GET. And OPTIONS (due CORS) is driven by out-of-band conventions (defined in the Fetch and the amended XHR APIs, but not much to do with media types - but of course, CORS is more about fixing the leaky encapsulations of the communications interface/layer, not about the content [the high level state being transferred]).
This is usually where the politics begin. The code is objectively bad, but depending on your relationship with the owners of the startup, they may or may not tolerate your opinion.

Later, when the code starts causing things to break, you may be totally or partially blamed. I would have a private discussion with the person you trust most at the company about how to institute a formal code review process where things are as objective and risk-free as possible

Interplanetary is not the same thing as interstellar. Interplanetary just means different planets. E.g. after we colonize Mars we will be an interplanetary species. That's also where the divergence will begin. The development and evolutionary characteristics of individuals that grow up in low g will likely quickly begin to create a group of people radically different from anything on Earth.

You're making a common mistake on the speed of light. Understandable as relativity is really really weird. We can get into the hows/whys if you like, but the long and short is that if we can, somehow, develop technology to be able to consistently accelerate at just 1g then we can colonize places that are billions of light years away, all in a single human lifetime. Of course indeed billions of years will have passed for everybody else. It's going to make notions of time, progress, and even extinction get really really weird.

"wholly owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation" is the more important part here, because the Foundation is nonprofit and eventually has authority over the corporation, so the latter can't decide on its own to sell out.

The corporation needs to be able to make a profit not as an end in itself but to make strategic savings in case things get more rough with Google.
