> … HTML UI where the assets are controlled …

Real life HTML UI requires a bit more than standard HTML/CSS.

At some point you will discover that you will need something like this:

elem.popup(popupElem, at)

to show arbitrary DOM elements as popup elements (DOM-element-in-its-own-window) like here https://terrainformatica.com/w3/sciter-tooltip.png

Yet pure HTML desktop windows: https://sciter.com/html-window/ with support of Acrylic/Vibrancy: https://sciter.com/sciter-4-2-support-of-acrylic-theming/

And at some point you may discover that by adding this to CSS:

div.widget {
prototype: MyWidget url(/js/widgets.js);
}

and extending DOM Element by simple

elem.merge(newHtml[, callback])

you will have the whole ReactJs thing obsolete/not-needed.

All that ...

If you want you can contact me so we can discuss all these in details.

Why You Can Never Eat Just One Oreo
Is that actually the frameing of the article or just the headline? I feel like they just choose a borderline clickbait headline. Maybe they even wrote that headline after the fact.
Among all the violence in Brazil, homicides happen mainly in drug-related problems: fights over territory are the majority, "punishments" for unpaid debts come second, and robbery (not exactly kill to steal afterwards, more like "I will kill you just to be sure you won't come after me, nor will identify me").

Guns are out of control in criminal hands, while population in general don't even have one at home. So, given that the cost of ammo is low (in black market), killing is used to gain territory or to send messages to drug users with debt or to general population.

> It also completely ignores how much Fortnite will lose from people who don't install it because they can't figure out how.

Like Snapchat, this may be a case where deliberately counterintuitive behavior may actually help, since sideloading will now become "cool" for the teenagers/millennials it targets.

>Also, what solution would there be?

Solution to what?
Yes it does:

White men and Asian women are consistently more desired than other users, while black women rank anomalously lower.

Bruch said that race and gender stereotypes often get mixed up, with a race acquiring gendered connotations. “Asian is coded as female, so that’s why Asian women get so much market power and Asian men get so little,” she told me. “For black men and women, it’s the opposite.”

But “what we are seeing is overwhelmingly the effect of white preferences,” she cautioned. “This is site is predominantly white, 70 percent white. If this was a site that was 20 percent white, we may see a totally different desirability hierarchy.”
As soon as they do, they die with users like me. I am pretty tolerant of the eco-system lock in because I can so easily opt-over the wall when I want to. If they change that, I'll go to the next platform that respects my ability to make choices for myself, even if they don't match what some people in power in California thinks I should choose.
Behind Hollywood’s McDonald’s-Monopoly Article Bidding War
CrashPlan is a good service and the founders are good people, and I always liked them. Especially their "peer to peer" product. About a year ago they abandoned the consumer market so their products are a bit more expensive but should still do a good job for some customers.

Carbonite is also a good choice for some people with certain needs.

And if you aren't using anything else, Backblaze Personal Backup is also a fine choice for some customers! Backblaze has a feature called "Business Groups" that is focused around allowing IT people to pay for all their employee's backups in a central location, and even manage backups in an organization. To be clear: "Business Groups" is a free feature, so whether you are a company or an individual our online backup is the exact same cost. Customers are not forbidden (or discouraged) from using Backblaze Personal Backup in a corporate setting.

Choice is a good thing for customers. Competition is a good thing for customers.
I watched the author's talk at Black Hat yesterday and to my understanding, yes. It's a matter of tricking the cache into storing a request with malicious unkeyed input.

i.e. The cache looks for:

GET /advertisement/1

And caches the request body and other headers as a value with that line as the key. If you can manipulate the same key to have a different value, say by tweaking a cache-specific header, then the body of that GET response (an ad) changes for everyone hitting the same cache. Certainly worth testing with the tools that have been released ;)

EDIT: The tool in question, a plugin for Burp Community + Pro: https://github.com/PortSwigger/param-miner
Not every language throws an exception if you forget to use a double-equals sign:

if (iCounter = 10) { ... }

In these cases you get an assignment and the value 10 is emitted, which in C, C++, JavaScript, and other languages is simplified in the if statement to "not 0" and, therefore, true. However, if you write:

if (10 = iCounter) { ... }

you get a compile error. In general, any practice which allows bugs to surface earlier than later will allow you to complete a project faster and yield a better result as well.

What is the conflict that's causing such a high rate?

I associate Col/Mex deaths with cartels warring over trafficking routes but what is happening in Brazil? Is it just street trade?
No, because the threat model doesn't make sense. To record audio or video, a hacker would need to be running arbitrary code as my user or as root on my laptop. If they've got that far, I'm completely pwned. Now, if a hacker has pwned my computer, are they going to risk alerting me by flashing my camera light or attempting to exfiltrate large amounts of likely useless multimedia data? Not likely. They're much more likely to do something boring and practical like make me join a botnet or scrape logins for any online accounts I might have. If it's a really serious (non-automated) hacker, they might go digging for industrial secrets, or quietly record my keystrokes.

In the extremely unlikely event that someone actually wants and retrieves footage or audio of me, the worst they're gonna find is me doing something mildly embarrassing, like doing the macerena with a kazoo accompaniment. Not exactly easy to monetize.
Its big news when Bethesda does the same with Steam.
Random crime in general is actually pretty rare. You are always most likely to be a victim of a crime by a family member, 2nd a person you know.

Even in Brazil I bet a lot of this happens in communities, where they can try to justify violence due to some perceived slight.

And of course let's not forget that America's crazy gun laws are pushed by gun lobbies because they help increase sales by creating an easy way to funnel guns into South and Central America.

Much of the violence is there because of things like The School of the Americas and the work of US interests in promoting less democratic states to make it easier to gather resources (see the book: Confessions of an Economic Hitman). While it may not be directly related to the gang violence, those policies do spill over and make this sort of trend easier.
I was disappointed to see this as well. I have just recently started to learn a bit more about lambda and the rds/vpc thing has been a bit of a sticking point. I had thought aurora-serverless would fix the vpc issue, I appreciate the autoscaling but I think at this point I’d still rather use rds/Postgres if it has to be in a vpc anyway. Assuming I’ll save more time using postgresql advanced features than money on the autoscaling.

I guess everyone is just using DynamoDB with their lambda functions, but I miss a lot of the power Postgres has.
I mean binary dependency here - external DLLs.

"Unlike Apple, which only allows apps to be downloaded from its own storefront"

So as i read it, the argument being made is: if Google had chosen the same path as apple did in their app store, Google would not have missed this opportunity.

That's just the art of writing headlines. How else do they generate online conversation except by stating it in a obviously flawed way provoking people like you to point out the flaw and people with a penchant for "charity" to come to their defense, and so on and so forth?

Why are we still falling for this crap?
Even an efficient market will still have capital be more expensive for goods people disapprove of and aren't willing to support. An efficient market just means the price is discovered, not that the price solely reflects monetary outcomes.

Plus there's probably no such thing as an efficient market; determining future outcomes of a market is an NP-complete problem and there are finite traders, so unless P equals NP you are definitely on the moral hook for the impact of your investment decisions. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1002.2284.pdf

I worry less about the broad cultural implications and more about the narrowing of experiences for students. I doubt there's any way to convince people to choose majors that will leave them saddled with crushing debt and poor prospects, but it would be an improvement to loosen up requirements and electives to encourage more academic 'shopping around', if we don't want an army of clones.

> Gopher sites stand and shine on the strength of their content and not the glitz of their bling.

Once upon a time the Web was bling-free too. Then people actually started using it, and anytime a large enough audience congregates in one space, pressure builds on the owners of that space to tart it up. So added to the Web were images and animated GIFs, frames and IFRAMEs, RealAudio and Flash, stylesheets and scripts, Bootstrap and React, and all the other ten thousand layers of cruft that now sit between the Web user and the content she came to read.

This may sound like a knock on the Web, but it isn't. The Web got all that stuff because the Web was where the eyeballs were. If Gopher had won out instead, it'd be the one straining under the weight of all that crap today, and the Web would be the pure, unsullied, bling-free alternative. Purity and popularity are incompatible.

In other words: if you like Gopher the way it is today, for the love of God, don't tell anyone about it.

I felt the same way as I learned Python. People told me Python had this magical framework built into the language and that I'd understand everything once I learned it. Turns out the built-in language features are syntax sugar for some __special_method__ calls. Simple and functional, but underwhelming...
You simply did not live in a bad neighborhood by American standards. The worst neighborhoods in Chicago have murder rates far worse than Brazil as a country. For example Brazil has an intentional homicide rate around 30, whereas Chicago has 26 neighborhoods higher, with the most dangerous one, Engelwood, topping out at 172. To put that in context, the world's most dangerous city is Caracas at 120.

If they can then leverage this to be a secondary app store that they get a cut (smaller than Google's cut to encourage people to use it), then they can come out making far more money even if they lose more than 30% of installs by doing this.
Right, but that's too broad. Some people will drive a car for a million miles, some people will drive it for ten thousand. It's better to tax the embodied carbon of manufacture and delivery of the car separately from the carbon emitted by the fuel, for example. Fuels, in particular, are easy to determine the carbon weight - just add it up!
They are not very careful to avoid implying the expected outcome, though, which should be understandable as it refers to common wisdom. e.g. "more is not always better" is part of the interpretation, nevertheless they don't imply any causative effects (on the landing page, at least; didn't read the paper).

In that sense, if feeling too depressed for extreme sport, maybe a walk ever now and then should at least not be neglected.
It depends on the company for sure and can change over time. I think there are also often 2 tiers of employees at game companies. The ones who are there for the project (their choice or the company choice) and those they feel are the nucleus and treat well. And well if you're at a place like EA the size of the nucleus may be differen due to shifting across projects vs at a single project shop where there are no other projects and loss of the nucleus means the next project fails too.
Anecdotally, I wonder how true this is. I'm two degrees separated from two people who were murdered--one was a colleague of my father (killer never caught, suspected they knew each other, though), one a friend of my sister (also never caught, though less likely a friend/acquaintance due to her age). Surely my experience isn't that unique?? If so, wow.

The blockchain voting idea, among its numerous flaws, is philosophically grounded in hyperindividualism. I care about the integrity of my ballot, and mine alone.

But elections are not about my vote. They're about everyone's vote. I care about not just the integrity of my own ballot, but the integrity of every other voter's ballot as well. And, given a system where most people will never do a complex blockchain verification of their ballot, or have a mechanism to be certain that no additional machine-generated ballots were added to the results... blockchain isn't solving the actual problem.

Don't be in love with technology when looking for actual solutions to actual problems.
Fun fact: Brazil has very strict gun control laws.
We generally don't shoot people in the head when they've been diagnosed with lung cancer so society doesn't save any money there. So the extensive treatment required to treat lung cancer is greater than somebody not getting treatment because they don't have lung cancer.

To be more succinct, there's a large difference between a person requiring lengthy treatment for lung cancer(hospital + morgue) before ultimately dying compared to somebody dying due to old age(morgue).
Normal business disputes are settled through the courts (or the threat of the courts). Disputes related to illegal business are settled through violence. The state benefits by maintaining a base level of violence, so it always keeps some popular industries outlawed.

Good point. America elected macho populist Barack Obama twice, and macho populist Hillary Clinton took the popular vote.
No, Google got in trouble for mandating other companies/products to include Google products (gmail, chrome, etc) in their products (Samsung Galaxy 9, LG whatever phone, etc).

Apple doesn't mandate any other company to change something with their product (Apple installs mail, calendar, music on their own iPhone, iPad, etc). They aren't using their market position to coerce another company to do something in Apple's favor. (as far as Android vs. iOS and the associated hardware phones and tablets).

As of 2016, there were 4,080 registered organ donors in China, that number was less than 100 ten years prior. Yet, for going on two decades, tens of thousands of organ transplant operations are performed in China each year. Many of the operations were performed on foreigners, as China could come up with cheap organs at a faster pace than waiting for a compatible match with someone on a list.

China has a history of harvesting organs from religious and political prisoners[1].

The primary concern is that Apple puts it's own software and features on it's own devices. That's fine, and what Google does on the Pixel line is also fine and not under scrutiny.

The issue is that Google uses blatantly illegal terms to force bundling of various apps upon other manufacturers, and this is illegal in both the US and the EU and most other jurisdictions.

This is a business-to-business issue, not a business-to-consumer issue. Hence why Apple putting it's own software on it's own hardware is not similar. (Also, Apple is not even approaching being a monopoly, Google already is one.)
Right there you used the expression “informal partnership”, which legally means you are splitting 50/50. So be very careful what you say and do.
