I'm basically in the same boat. This move combined with the project dragonfly leaks has led me to conclude that google cannot be trusted with my data. That in turn led me to evaluate just how intertwined google is into my life and its pretty scary.
People are paying $1000+ for Pixel phones. I think that should cover the cost of an alarm app.
Im surprised you manage to be a heavy Keep user — i had a few thousand notes, and then they rolled out some update that meant they would all be re-downloaded every time i opened the web client, which made it unusable for me. Switched to apple notes because why not and havent had any problems since.
> I'd argue that all negative behavioral issues are mental illnesses.

Who gets to decide what is a "negative" behavioral issue?

I assure you that the computer types will be among the first to be medicated to to take the edge off their "negative" behavioral issues.
Yeah, the name is a bit unfortunate - it's coming from dwb[1] which I think also invented that concept, and was the main inspiration for qutebrowser.

I wonder if the pattern is common enough and simple enough that wasmjit could substitute the load-shift-and/shift-or-store sequences into direct 8,16,32-bit stores and loads.
"The automaker is executed tests of some 90,000 drivers across the Chicago and Los Angeles areas from November 2017 through to January 2018 after those drivers gave permission for their data to be processed in this manner."
Love this site. And love the concept cars of the 60's, 70's. Then, for me, things sort of went sideways.
Java wasn't really good at being a server early on, it was very much 'client side.' It would have been an interesting exercise for me to implement NIS+ in it :-)
HL7 is an absolute shitshow.

Every company charges 10s of thousands of dollars for every "interface", which is one program sending something to another.
Google Keep is at least now a core G Suite service covered by their terms of service, SLA, etc for G Suite customers. It also just got integrated into the new Gmail UX. So that's unlikely to vanish too quickly.
Years long selection process? I'd love to hear what was involved and why it took so long. That's definitely a pretty drastic switch!
You can still use SOAP, just add a JAR or two, as it should be. If you were using Java EE you were always using the Java EE classes and no the Java SE classes anyway. I think it was mostly removed because Java EE required redefining some Java SE classes which is a bit of a pain with the new module system so they simply kicked it out of Java SE.

I don't think that they'll remove XML support as other parts like XML properties and Swing XML serialization need it. Although in this new world they could simply remove that as well.
Maps.me, which also uses OpenStreetMap data, can show live traffic info. Not sure where they get the data from or whether it's accurate.
Yes, either you take it, or leave it

That is a false dilemma, because there are more than two choices. To many of us, the third option is the one we choose.
There are a few others who only allow one key....

Why?!?! :(

Yes, I think that's exactly what danShumway meant by "users have to do this every single release", i.e., give feedback about a big upcoming change that should never have been made in the first place.

One week it's the domain hiding, another week it's cookie clearing. Who knows what Google is planning to change next time? It's not sustainable for us to go reactive every month.

There's an awfully big disconnect if the makers of the world's most-used web browser are routinely trying to change it in ways that users force them to immediately revert. That's not what good stewards do.
I can only find one other source for this news and there's no press releases that I can find. Perhaps someone with access to advertising trade journals could dig something up?

1. The courses on AI/Machine learning and blockchain (or anything that has do with 4th Industrial revolution) are great. Coursera is great for this.

The greatest impact was the combined effort of being able to do multiple courses (in so many different things) and being able to better understand different programming languages, technologies and marketing (SEO, ads, content marketing, referral marketing, driving sales).

Can't leave engineering. Engineering is the passion. I have a strong belief that all parts of business should be driven by engineers from development to sales and marketing. Yesterday I went to a meetup and I met sales people on the booths who had no idea on the product they were selling worked and how it could help others.

2.) If you don't have friends in school, go out to events, network. Talk to people, add them on LinkedIn. Found someone interesting online? Feel free to email them and get to know each other. Thats how I have built my network. Don't forget the nurture professional relationships. Your network is your networth.

3.) I have a 15000 people following, the articles that are of interest get viral. A few times I tried to post my articles on some FB groups. It did work out well but I don't do it anymore. Best is to just keep writing (you may post on Reddit, FB etc but be aware that you might get banned for self promotion).

3. 'The Lean Startup' and 'The defining decade' are the most impactful books.

4. You can see my Linked: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ifahaduddin/
Clojure relied on many quirky hacks like putting clojure on the boot classpath and accessing JDBC from there which broke in Java 9.
Still not sure whether it was a good idea to (mostly) copy dwb's keybindings - some of them are a bit weird and inconsistent...
Maybe autogenerated pixel art has less pixel-level detail than handcrafted art. Much like http://www.dinofarmgames.com/a-pixel-artist-renounces-pixel-... .
It could, but it shouldn't if properly made.

For one thing, it's got 4 straps. If any 3 straps or any two opposing corner straps are intact, then it should probably not fall down. So there's some redundancy.

Aside from that, use a worm drive[1] between the motor and the pulleys. As long as the gearbox is intact, the weight of the furniture won't be able to turn the output gear.

If you want more assurance than that, put some kind of extra brake or lock on the pulleys or drive shaft. Maybe a pawl[2].

I switched my assistant app to Cortana, if you can believe that.

It works well enough, and doesn't require every permission to be enabled. It'll work fine with whatever you give it. (Within reason. It can't give you information about your calendar unless you give it that permission, etc.)

Reminders and such get synced to my PC.

There are, of course, many holes in its functionality... hoping it gets better. Don't know if there's a better assistant app for Android at this point.

How does any of that make sense?

>Corporations win more frequently in arbitration because you are required to do work, you are required to be prepared, you don't have unlimited resources at your disposal, and you don't get to go on a fishing expedition in the form of lawsuit discovery.

Every single point there is something that a party can win at if they have more money than the opposing party and companies always have more money. It's not like it's the poor, abused corporations who have to shoulder the massive legal cost against a random employee who can employ relatively limitless legal assets. You are flipping the narrative on documented reality.

Adding on to that, there is no way for there not to be bias I. The arbitrators. They are a business and the companies that have blanket arbitration agreements are going to be bringing orders of magnitude more cases to them than any employee.

That leaves you with one of three options. First is that the arbitrators decide in the companies favor more often, second is thatthey decides it as equally as the courts, and third is that they decide in the employees case more often. If it's the third case, why not just immediately settle with all employees instead of spending the time and money to set up a separate system to resolve disputes outside of the court? If it's the second case, why spend the time and money to set up a second system outside the courts to get a result that is the same as the courts? You can claim that it lowers costs, but companies are the ones that are increasing costs to ensure that they win. That leaves us with only the first case, where companies win more often, which is a complete lack of justice. Companies have moved past using their power imbalance to overwhelm employees in the court system, to just removing the employees ability to use the courts at all.
Yes, it's not so easy. But using Google web search only would not be particularly harmful, especially through the Tor.
User error. Don't use your phone while driving.
Is there a game with most of these? It would be amazing to see this instead of boring gta real-like cars.
Of course, that prompts the question about how many of the customer complaints were legitimate, and how many of the company complaints were legitimate.
That's not an unreasonable assumption considering Reddit has in the past announced that they would be doing research into adding a cryptocurrency to Reddit, to give "more ownership to its users". AFAIK that plans have been dropped a long time ago.
Wire & Telegram are both cloud connected, while Apps on the Signal protocol depend on your phone to be functioning and in reach AFAIK (huge annoyance/problem for me).

NSA engineer sentenced to 5 years for security breach
I actually use Chrome for everything Google, and Firefox for everything else. It's a constant reminder that I need to stop using Google services. I don't open it much anymore, just to check my gmail which still has a few emails going to it, and to find my android whenever I lose it.
Is that documented somewhere? I can’t find it on their website, but searching on mobile means the issue is just as likely to be me as the documentation.
Is there any index of spyware free devices/products? Or I guess I should say products that haven't been caught including spyware yet. This is getting absurd.

>Google doesn't have that graph

Google has that information from the contacts of all Android phones, Google Photos, etc. Granted they don't probably have the information from iPhones, but then a lot of people don't have or use their FB account too.

> No one logs into Google search and give their identity

No one here. Most of the non-tech people (and some tech people) do log into Chrome and Google account, which means they are logged into Search too.
Interesting thanks - is this something recent that has changed? I don't get the sense that this was how it was even 4-5 years ago. Do you think these salaries are sustainable?
However, I'm unsure how well Uber drivers could unionize, since they are typically classified as contractors (choose rates, hours, etc.), not employees.

And collusion of employees (unions) is permissible. Collusion of businesses is less so.
Thanks for this response. I'm going to graduate college soon and I've been thinking of trying to join cal fire. I know I want to be in tech, but I don't know if I am ready for it yet. I think I need something more exciting/meaningful while I am still young.
Interesting to see where things head for sure. It's also very impactful to me to realize that some of the most iconic things in NYC have already surpassed the 70 year mark or much more (empire state building, BK bridge, statue of liberty, city hall, grand central, countless others). Makes me excited about how much longer structures can exist utilizing the tactics we have learned as humans.
4.7% of your users... and how much of that is because you are finding it difficult to prioritise work specific to that platform? It sounds like a chicken-and-egg problem to me.

Transformative moments in my career:

- Learning Vim and working from the terminal

- Going through the book 'Seven Languages in Seven Weeks'

- Learning typed Functional Programming

I think the above three things are solid, foundational skills — proficiency with power tools, learning to learn, and learning to think about problems differently.

Another transformative moment in my career was when I learned that many things popular and shiny today are just bad implementations of things we've had for 40 years. Specifically I realised this after learning GruntJS, and then Make.
This is fixed!

Can someone explain to me why this is in my feed and how I can stop it. Bloody bots.
Both is true in my opinion. Strange thing I witnessed, loyalty between corporations matter (e.g. suppliers and customers) and loyalty between people matters (just pick wisely, not everybody is worth it). Loyalty between corporations and people doesn't exist and is usually a one way street.
ARC is just a GC implementation algorithm with a couple of compiler optimizations to reduce counting operations.

Plenty of GC books describe such algorithms, including the canonical "The Garbage Collection Handbook".

All the languages I referred do compile to native code as well. So you can also check the generated Assembly, just like with C.

They also do provide ways of doing C pointer style tricks, use value type allocations or manual memory management.

Then there is ATS and ML Kit as well.

As language greek I do like Swift, but it isn't really meaningful outside Apple's ecosystem.
Probably depends where you start.

Alarm apps don't need tracking. Asking Google Assistant to set an alarm needs tracking.

I wish there was a SaaS application which provided assistant capabilities by a monthly subscription. You can see all the data stored, you own the data the service just creates models to enable use. And you could stop the subscription which wipes all the data including the models. Perhaps some startup founder is reading this?

I think yes. Google has been considered "evil" by the tinfoil hat crowd for quite some time, and once again it has become apparent to the mainstream that they were right.

Cool project! Unfortunately it does not meet my needs (yet). In case you are interested..

1) I need a GPU, fast processor and lots of memory. My company has a vast supply of such machines but I can't run your notebook on my company's machines.

2) The editor is missing refactoring and code completion.

It is a cool idea though, I bet it will meet some many peoples needs.
Or you can take some and leave some via regulation.
Parallel Processing of Machine Learning Algorithms
Oh I agree, but we do need to discuss blockers relatively quickly after they come up, and stand-ups can be an efficient way to do this. You can try to just automate workflows or try to get people to resolve blockers asynchronously, but if it takes more than a couple replies to resolve them, now a meeting may have been faster/more efficient.

If I'm using Meetter to automatically schedule a stand-up, I (presumably) can say, only schedule the meeting if we have blockers to discuss, and only invite the people who are mentioned in the issue/blocker. But how to determine if there's blockers, and who to invite? Query the issue tracker.

You could look up blocked GitHub or ZenHub Issues and generate a stand-up to discuss them once they happen, and maybe re-generate a stand-up after X time if they have not been updated, to prevent stale blockers.

What I get out of this is when I work for a company which requires stand-ups, I don't have to go to them if I have no blockers. I know I would pay for that privilege :-)
After our last trip to Taiwan we decided to make a mobile game about the garbage trucks, just for fun. You run through a quintessential Taiwanese night market past street food stands, motorcycles, and 7-11's while dodging debris like durian and bubble tea in order to catch the garbage truck.

Qualcomm has been found guilty in two separate antitrust actions recently in the EU, with a third antitrust action getting underway in the last couple of months.

They are currently the subject of another antitrust action in the US.

In addition, several other nations have recently found them guilty in antitrust actions of their own.

Given their behavior, and the Billions in fines they have recently been ordered to pay for said illegal behavior, I'm not certain why anyone would still be willing to accept their claims without proof.

I've definitely considered freelancing, but it would basically have to be remote freelancing. Not super excited about freelancing per se, but maybe it's a good fit. I am definitely keeping it in mind, thank you.
When it was new I was excited about it and it pushed me over the edge to actually starting my usage of GPG and setting it up properly with smartcards etc.

Then I started to go to keysignings etc and started using the keyserver infrastructure etc.

And then it took a while and I realized that I never used keybase and removed my account.
The Oscars are not awarded for historical accuracy. Best adapted screenplay does not mean most faithfully adapted, it just means the best screenplay which is adapted from some source (often fictional).

Hollywood is in the business of telling stories, not teaching history. If you get offended by lack of realism or accuracy, then don't watch Hollywood movies. I can't think of any Hollywood movie you couldn't criticize for twisting reality to further the narrative.

"Based on a true story" should always be taken with a large grain of salt and Hollywood itself have often satirized it - e.g. Fargo slapping a "Based on a true story" sign on a wholly fictional story, or American Hustle stating "Some of this actually happened!"

And conversely, that idea didn't even occur to me, in the slightest, when I read those tweets. To me it's crystal clear that it's an expression of indignation at three civilians being murdered by way of comparison to the rights that the accused soldiers will receive, not a complaint that the government is giving them a fair trial.

I believe it's now common to use "sell your data" as a synonym of "make profit off data" or "sell a service that gives anonymized data".
That's very interesting, I'd never thought of that. I guess it could make sense, as there is definitely an ultradian rhythm within the circadian rhythm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultradian_rhythm), and it's about 90-120 minutes long.

I guess it could be that waking at the peak of the ultradian rhythm is better than waking at the nadir, even if the nadir is 45-60 minutes later. Especially if the resulting sleep pressure leads to becoming tired earlier, as seems to have happened to you.

What method did you use to find your optimal waking time? Any sort of sleep measuring tool (phone app, fitbit) or just trial and error? If trial and error, any particular method that worked well?

If I had to guess: their end goal is not explicitly to collect more advertising data for Google, but it's to minimize friction around the use of Google services.

How can you have one without the other? Google services exist to drive advertising. Anything to make a Google service better for the user has a corresponding impact on Google's ad business.

And then four years later leaving the startup for a job at a public company.
