> No, actually I said it gave me the "impetus", which is rather unlike the caricature you presented of my comment.

I'm not really sure how that is any difference than what I said. Google has made a minor UI change that the article makes a pretty compelling case is in the user's best interest. You are making a public declaration with an unclear audience that you won't stand for it.

> Removing a useful feature that helps me maintain security gave me the push to try other options.

The single biggest thing you can do to ensure your security is to use a password manager that auto-fills your passwords. Password managers can't be fooled by look-alike URLs. You can switch to another browser (and yeah, avoiding a browser mono-culture is a great thing!). However, I suspect strongly that you're going to see the other vendors follow suit and drop the special designation for EV certs. And good riddance. The article makes a pretty compelling point that CA certs aren't useful.
As it is now, sometimes ice needs to be scraped off the windshield before you can drive. It may be the same with the cars external sensors.

Performance data never shows the complete picture. It should not be allowed to be used for definitive decisions, but it could be used to investigate.

(IMO the same is true for mass surveillance vs targeted surveillance.)
Some basic knowledge of traction and momentum go a long way. Your car will generally go the way it is heading, as far as it can slide. Every time I see people lose control in the snow and ice, it is because they're driving with their brakes and not their momentum.

non-TLS sites show up as: "Not Secure | neverssl.com". The literal words "Not Secure" appear for non-TLS sites. Those words do not show up for EV sites. That seems like a pretty drastic difference. I'm on Chrome 69. Maybe I'm part of some experiment - but, I don't think so.
People with genetic deformities are not in general excused for misogyny, no. Isn't it more than a little insulting to suggest they'd need to be?

I do most of my sports outside, in the summer while it's still light, DST is a great! It's just wonderful to windsurf or kitesurfing till 22:30 in May, June and July.

Getting rid of DST means a lot let sporting hours for me...
Maybe Hamming didn't "know about the formulas for the capture cross sections for oxygen and nitrogen". But "after all, there could be no experiments at the needed energy levels" seems like a valid point.

However, perhaps "knowing" physics includes coming up with likely values for currently unmeasurable parameters.

> I was pacing up and down the corridor when a friend asked me what was bothering me. I told him. His reply was, "Never mind, Hamming, no one will ever blame you."

Right. If there was any blaming to be done, nobody left alive would know what Hamming's role had been.
They are all going to be CTO's in the future, not future victims! I assume by saying hiring committee you work at Google. A whistleblower sued Google in March alleging overt age discrimination and illegal race quotas. They copied some damning information including screenshots of their quota tool.

My point in saying that was not to express arrogance, but was to point out that ideas are worth nothing and execution is everything. I executed poorly. If I had executed well and a bunch of other variables had aligned, I might have grown that company successfully.

I’m still a bit arrogant and aggressive in my approach to solving problems, but it’s tempered somewhat by experience.
I believe the place of calc (just like trig) is overinflated in pre-real- analysis education. As far as I am concerned, sin is just a function defined a certain way and I ain't worried about SOH-CAH-TOA or anything to that effect. I don't think one requires 1000 page book to learn a few core calc concepts either. Derivative is a slope. That's it. It's the same value along the length of a line. The only problem is non-linear functions where slope changes along every point. In which case we bring in the machinery of tangent/secant lines and take a limit for a very intuitive reason, but the underlying concept remains the same. This informs the definition of derivative. From this point on derivative is just a function defined a certain way and in this regard is no different from any other function like indicator function or whatever. The rest of the talk about derivatives is often just a padding and general interest. Have you ever seen a 500 page book written about the step function?

When you take a bit more advanced class, the symbols for partial derivatives and integrals will be interspersed with other symbology and flash before your eyes like elements in a humongous matrix. You won't have time to think about stuff you learned from 1000+ page doorstop. You have to learn to think more nimbly and abstractly like a mathematician. To that end, check out "intro to math proofs" textbooks.

If by calculus you meant modern math analysis, then simply disregard the stuff above.
This has been known for nearly two years now[1], and was talked about here a few months ago[2].

VSCode also downloads code from MicroSoft servers during the build process and won't build without an Internet connection. I'm pretty sure someone had forked VSCode like ungoogled-chromium but I can't find the repository.

Is there a simple chart somewhere that shows what are the old and new tariffs for the most commonly imported items. I'm just confused with hearing these large generic tariff news. Something like PCs- was 10% now 25%, Tshirts- was 10% now 50%, etc.
The reason Amazon plans like that is because it is faster. Left turns with traffic lights have a higher average waiting time. Also, the route can have left turns, they just have a much higher penalty.
After the EU does this, 90%+ of the world population will have abandoned DST changes. The only holdouts will be North America, a few Middle Eastern & African countries, some Brazilian provinces, and 4-5 other small countries or provinces.

Sounds like a repeat of the Imperial vs Metric system divide. Why does the USA always have to be the odd major modern country using obsolete customs? Is there a cultural explanation?
Perhaps it should be called BestSTEP then?
On HN people also think real time software can be written in node.js ;)

"The crime rates are nearly similar among all races"
Do you have any stats to back that up? Everything I find says the opposite.

A Channel 4 News fact check says:
https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-black-amer...
"Blacks were disproportionately likely to commit homicide and to be the victims. In 2008 the offending rate for blacks was seven times higher than for whites and the victimisation rate was six times higher."

You can look at the stats yourself:
https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/rhovo1215.pdf
See Page 3 Table 2. This is the "Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey" where they ask victims of violent crime demographic information about the offenders. This avoids any question of bias from the arrest rates. Doing the math, black people offend at a rate 2.4x higher than whites.

I disagree that whites are left off the hook:
"The probability of arrest given the commission of a crime is higher for whites than it is for blacks for robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault, whereas for rape the probability of arrest is approximately equal across offender race. "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_S...
https://academic.oup.com/sf/article-abstract/81/4/1381/22345...

I tried to find data about offender rate for property crime, but every discussion said that since the victims don't encounter the offenders, there is no good way to estimate offender race.

I'm not defending anything in American history. I just want to set the facts straight.

Depends on your priorities and what you are willing to sacrifice for it. High bandwidth terminal emulators will cost CPU and battery life. I'd opt for longer battery life.

I am not sure how the people at Hinckley, or more recently at Flint would take that assertion. Just because tracking causality of morbidity to drinking water can be a difficult task does not mean it has no contribution to health issues.

So kids can go to school one hour later, so they'll stay in bed one hour longer. But this means that they can go to bed one hour later?

This means we'll do the DST switch anyways, but without changing the clocks. Nothing gained...

How SpaceX Used Tin Snips to Fix a Rocket Just Days Before Launch
US cities have plenty of left turns, except for in new jersey where they're frowned upon. However, there can be a long wait to turn left, depending on conditions, so it might not be more time to drive a bit farther but turn right more often.

The waymo cars have trouble with getting hit while making unprotected left turns because they drive very cautiously. Except for the time they hit a bus, because they somehow thought a bus would swerve to avoid them (although the then Google vehicle was being overly cautious and trying to avoid an inconsequential object in the road). All in all, I would rather the waymo style of overcaution and immobility than the Uber style of over confidence and ignoring of potential obstacles. However, I would currently still prefer mediocre to average human drivers on the road with me over a waymo.
Yes, except that everyone else doesn't shift their schedules to accommodate you. Many people still need to work 9-5. (Or 8-8 or something in Japan...) Also, generally social events around dinner happen at something like 7pm. After dinner events might be at 8 or 9. You're likely to miss out on a lot if you're going to bed at 8 so you can get up at 4.
Sure, thing is these issues are extremely rare (and not just over populated areas) And that is why you still have pilots, and redundant systems, so yes as a system an aircraft is a lot more complex. The traffic environment is not, the high level of control of air traffic and its standardization is making sure of that. And the latter is making i easier for aircraft because they have to deal with a lot less randomness.

So, I could imagine developers of self-driving cars could learn a thing or two from aerospace. But that is just my opinion.
I would prefer one time zone. Even with current multiple time zone you still have to look up for the business hour/days. You can't just assume business day mean monday-friday 9am-5pm.

I heavily believe social networks will always be cyclical, as people always want excitement. A new social network launches, everyone gets excited for something new and different, it grows to the point where your grandma and your teachers or kids are on it too, you lose the excitement and start looking for the next "entertainment".

The world is moving faster than ever with entertainment and attention spans. Facebook is already showing signs of fizzling out. I don't believe it will die, just like MySpace and Digg are still going, they're just not the hot shit they once were. I think we're pretty much hitting the point now where Snapchat and Instagram are "hotter" than Facebook, and Facebook is running on momentum for a fair while longer before being "just another social network".

Instagram and Snapchat are in their peak right now. Everyone under 30 has both, and most over 30 at least have an account to follow their kids, friends, whatever. I think 10 years is even optimistic, I wouldn't be surprised if another transition happened within 5.

When Instagram and Snapchat lose their excitement, the next thing will come along. There's hundreds of startups already working on trying to be the next big social network. It's a given it'll happen eventually.

(I'm not in the industry and don't know stats, I don't use social networks other than following people on Twitter for updates, this is just the ramblings of someone watching it all for 20+ years)
To all the "where does the spent fuel go" (dump it in the ocean) and "too expensive" (regulatory problem). These things are not a problem. Only the irrational fear of "nucular" is the problem.

Educate yourself http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~blc/book/

"For nuclear waste, a simple, quick, and easy disposal method would be to convert the waste into a glass — a technology that is well in hand — and simply drop it into the ocean at random locations.5 No one can claim that we don't know how to do that! With this disposal, the waste produced by one power plant in one year would eventually cause an average total of 0.6 fatalities, spread out over many millions of years, by contaminating seafood. Incidentally, this disposal technique would do no harm to ocean ecology. In fact, if all the world's electricity were produced by nuclear power and all the waste generated for the next hundred years were dumped in the ocean, the radiation dose to sea animals would never be increased by as much as 1% above its present level from natural radioactivity."
Employees/employers are free to negotiate this (and frequently do in tech), I don't see why it would apply for other jobs though.

Why, you are even forbidden to reverse engineer or hack the binary so it is the total opposite of free software.

Any idea why would they put this limitations on the binaries? What does MS gains for this ?

You have to pull over when it happens. Sometimes those southeast flash flood rains go from bad to opaque in an instant. Depending on the road you may not have enough of a shoulder to pull over, and any other driver will only be able to see you at 5-10 feet away maximum and (initially) going 45-60mph. Not ending up in a ditch can be difficult.

you didn't exactly give any counterexamples. yes, android's settings menus have a lot and are relatively poorly organized, but so are ios settings.

but in terms of apps, i find android much more intuitive than ios. on android, there is basically a universal back button, in position and in behavior, that always seems to just work. not so on ios, where i am constantly wondering how do i go backwards from where i'm at. the heavy gesture language on ios is very non-intuitive. for example, closing apps. on android, there is a two button press to close all apps or just a one button press plus swipe to close a single app. or there's a double-tap to return to the previous app immediately. on ios, it's a weird swipe up and right, then a ridiculously long hold, and then a one by one swipe. on lg android phones at least, there is serious multitasking. so i can have youtube playing in the top or bottom of the screen and then be browsing the web or on some other app in the other half. this is really, really useful. not to mention android can more frequently have an overlay of apps, such as video chat or youtube in a picture in picture type of situation. android's clip tray is also very useful, especially when composing e-mails that contain copied information from multiple places. on ios, i am constantly annoyed by editing the address bar. the tap, then wait, and then hit the little x is a constant annoyance because there is a mandatory wait after the first tap, and it's very finicky, as well as the little x.

yes, ios is very clean, but that doesn't mean it has good ux. i am constantly befuddled by ios design choices in how to do something. and the gesture language is extremely non-intuitive. the gestures on android or far more nature and less overbearing.

Netflix has done a terrific job of deflecting the issue from themselves onto ISPs. Yet Netflix et al support rights holders through their policies. It’s a complicated battlefield.
This is interesting but very, very ahead of its time. I know a couple of surgeons who have done a lot of research to prove that liver with a moderate degree of steatosis (fatty liver) is still viable as grafts, because every now and then they have had to cancel a scheduled transplant because the donor liver turned out to be more fatty than the standards would allow. They are optimistic but it would still take anywhere between 5-20 years for enough evidence to accumulate and change the view of regulators.
You’re suggesting a subgroup will increase tenfold in two generations, assuming that the majority population stays roughly constant. That implies a birthrate of something like 9 children per woman, maintained for two generations. Meanwhile every bit of sociological evidence shows that increases in income and living standard reduces total fertility.
None of those get stored or even sent, except of course for IP address.

IP address is not yet masked for update pings (same as for all self-updating browsers, required for security patching) and for similar pings to check for updated ad/tracker blocklists. If you do not opt into any BAT ecosystem features (contributions or ads, which enables contributions), then your IP address is not otherwise used, but it does show up in our logs. See https://brave.com/privacy/ under "Technical Infrastructure".

(We'd like to do the update ping via Tor since we have Tor tabs already, but this is in the future.)

If you opt into BAT features and take free BAT grants from us, then IP address and a wallet identifier are used for antifraud purposes, but not otherwise. This is covered in the privacy policy at https://brave.com/privacy/ under "Payments".
You have no idea what you're talking about, or you're maliciously spreading a lie. Apple consistently keeps old devices running, and running well, on old hardware.

Of the competition, only some environments running on Linux/BSD kinda manages to do the same. Android is just laughable in comparison.
One of the differentiating features of Jonathan Blow's language, Jai, is supposed to be AoS/SoA transformation. I wasn't aware other languages were experimenting with this as well.

Late payment penalties are nice, in my experience, because it gives you an extra drum to beat when you are chasing down payment. But they are never actually paid.

I just try to identify anyone who has an accounting (+20%) or purchasing (+50%) department and automatically add to my quoted fees. That premium, the imaginary late payment fee, and occasionally stopping work until the client gets caught up generally makes the situation manageable.
