I second this. I've been very, very skeptical of most third party password managers so haven't really adopted one for my everyday use; this might change once Lockbox [0] goes mainstream across all major platforms -- given Mozilla's unblemished record on privacy and data security -- aside from the convenience of a direct integration with Firefox.

I noticed this a few weeks back, when I disabled all tracking. The easy solution on Android was to have two shortcuts, one to home and one to work. That's ignoring the fact that I am still using Android and probably I am still being tracked some way.
Not necessarily - any language which can read environment variables and write into a file should work. Most existing scripts are using either Python or Bash though.
It depends on the country.

In France we were raised on water (school, home - surely tzp wzter in large quantities) then wine and beer (not that much soft drinks compared to US).

When you go to the restaurant, it is meal to order tap water (no matter the restaurant) and often you will find some people drinking water, some other wine. Yesterday (upscale restaurant) it was 50/50 at my table

I did following things that helped me grow,

1. My engineering ended in 2013. I was shit broke. I started doing online courses in 2016. Till now I have done 51 online courses in different things and just a month ago I got moved into a DevOps role (from a WordPress developer role). $0 invested in it.

2. The other best thing is growing my LinkedIn network. I grew my network from 200 people to to 15000 people (most of which are founders and recruiters). I invest time in writing articles and sharing new opportunities via LinkedIn.

3. I started reading a lot of books (related to tech and business).

4. I started emailing, tweeting to people (and getting heard by people like Jimmy Wales, Elon Musk, Tim Draper, Craig Newmark, Charlie Cheever) etc. This helped me grow exponentially.

5. Planning ahead. I started visioning life 30 years ahead. What was what I wanted. If your goals are clear, it will be much easier to find the path.

6. Ask, ask, ask. I asked a lot of questions on StackExchange, Reddit -> r/webdev and Hacker News. Whatever I plan to do, I take feedback from these groups. I have also joined Slack channels of professionals from different groups where I talk and take feedback. From ideas to resume review and career guidance.

7. Anyone that could teach me, I made him/her my mentor and listened to them and acted on their advice. Everyone I work with (founders, coworkers etc) see the passion in me and tries to mentor me. The trick is to always be willing to listen to others and keep connecting dots.

Go performance would be next tier from Python but memory usage a little less so. The Go team has made great strides in that regard from what it was. The runtime is always getting better, and it's fun to watch.

Rust or native platform (Swift/C# .Net Native, depending) are going to be even more ideal for battery usage.

Proper algorithmic choices are even more important and paramount no matter what is used. It goes without saying that poorly implemented Rust can be bested by well implemented Python.
Ye gods. I'm glad that is working for you, but that's a little beyond what most people can manage
History of people attempting to charge for using a browser?
bobdole123456's point is that monopolies aren't illegal but abuse of monopoly power is illegal (you're being downvoted because you do not explicitly address that fact).

But I actually think you raise an extremely interesting question: does pushing a political agenda using your monopoly position constitute an abuse of monopoly power?

The advent of privately controlled monopolistic forums is somewhat new. I don't think it's at all obvious how the spirit of anti-trust law should be extended in the age of platforms...

Right, that's why I said "the executive branch" rather than e.g. "Trump himself". I.e. if there's a clear chain of evidence from the adjudicator to the politicians, then SCOTUS would really have to pivot hard on many fundamental constitutional questions. Only a GOP-first, conservative-second court would do that. The current conservative wing of the court is very much conservative-first.

I should've been more explicit about my meaning :)
If they hadn't perma-stored the cookies, we'd all be pointing out how stupid it is that clearing your cookies logs you out of the browser. This would be clear evidence of what a stupid idea it is to match browser sign-in state to your cookies.

Post 60s the US had twin deficits essentially making BW dead in the water unless they shifted to austerity to maintain a surplus which would have been politically too difficult. (Or one could be nasty and say it would have put an end to their 24/7 of spreading democracy in south east asia via bombs). My history here is fuzzy.

I wouldnt advocate for a return of BW - but the one core aspect of what it aimed to achieve, namely global stability, can I believe be achieved without the free option call on society you describe as essential for having globalised finance. Keynes' version of BW would have involved a central clearing house of sorts between countries that would nullify the negative effects of unbounded capital flows by using a common currency. I dont remember the exact details but the big wig at the IMF and the Chinese central bank seemed pretty pro this idea.

"And no, your understanding of the financial crisis is not correct. Ireland socialised losses during the GFC, before the Euro crisis..." Well no. The reason they socialised losses has nothing to do with some inherent requirement to make finance work but because the Euro is a dumb idea as it doesnt allow countries to run a deficit (unless youre Italy/France and too big to kick out) so the only solution to paying off debts is austerity. The reason they had to socialise losses was a faustian bargain also offered to the greeks - basically you socialise our private bank's losses (take out an additional loans) else we switch off your banks and you're dead. Only cutting spending in a downturn is stupid and only makes the debt/gdp ratio worse but first rule of politics is never let facts get in a way of a beautiful theory (austerity)

" the reason we came here is because there is no other choice. You cannot control speculative forces and have a productive economy, it is one or the other." - no. Thats a huge leap to make and has little to no evidence to support the claim. The reason lots of Euro countries socialised losses is not because its a universal law like gravity but due to political expedience. Fundamentally its just unfair to privatise profits and socialise losses.

Sorry I cant comment on the Danes! I'll have a read up
Was there internal uproar? Did they say this was the only "practical" option? I have missed all of this if so, I thought this is how Maps worked since this feature first popped up.
If sync is left disabled, what else does signing into the browser do? I normally use Firefox, where my understanding is that when you sign in, you're specifically signing in to Firefox sync. Since these are separate options on Chrome, presumably there are other functions tied to browser login.
This is such a typical response that I would expect from any product management team. "We hear you, we're making small inconsequential changes to make you feel better, but the decision is final."

I still love the rationale for this decision:

> Over the years, we’ve received feedback from users on shared devices that they were confused about Chrome’s sign-in state.

Their solution: Let's add another state - the "sync" state - I'm sure this won't be confusing to users at all /s
In a recent interaction with the Pixel support personel via the built-in chat, I was unabashedly lied to three times in a row, including direct contradictions of the previous support persons instructions.

When the support person didn't have a handy solution, they just started making up reasons why my issue wasn't supported, going so far as to tell me I was required to purchase non-existent, google-branded hardware in order to accomplish what the previous support person had already walked me through.
I've had the same results when I've explicitly not shared location.

I will also use Google maps to find the route to some restaurant, turn off the GPS because I don't like being tracked and it's no too far, then head to the restaurant within 10-60 minutes of when I checked the GPS. If I have wifi on I will invariably get asked to rate the restaurant within 5 minutes of arriving there, regardless of how much time has passed since I checked the route.

I currently use a Pixel phone, but based on the experiences I've had, I will be switching to an iPhone in the hope that I get tracked less. After switching to Firefox and ddg as my daily drivers, I just need to get off of Gmail and I will be google free

I lived in Brooklyn in the 80s.

Most of these buildings had (and have) bars on the windows.

I am not seeing the window bars in these photos.

Unless there was like a year, say, 1982, when all the bars were nearly simultaneously put on, and these pictures were taken directly before that ... something is fishy.
> I'd be surprised if "most" people have a backup device/codes.

Really? I'd expect someone who's paying $50 for a yubikey to spend another $100 to have a backup key, a key for their laptop, and one for their desktop. Add another one for your keychain if you are using it on your phone (if your phone supports it).

I know I am flogging a dead horse here, but the constant retiring of Google apps makes me reluctant to adopt anything beyond Gmail and Youtube. I am a heavy Google Keep user, but I worry I am going to be kicked off that eventually.

> And stop changing your UI. It

The Youtube UI just gets worse and worse. I can only imagine what it must be like for non-Youtube Red subscribers. The add playlist button now defaults to your last playlist, which for me 75% of the time is not the playlist I want. Then I have to wait a few seconds for a popup, click a button, then unselect the last playlist and tick a new playlist. Just to add a f'ing video to a playlist.
I love Taiwan, but I would argue that it's the garbage system that builds a sense of civic cooperation, not the other way around. My impression of Taiwanese culture in general (compared to LA, where I grew up) is one of commitment to the status quo, preference for the path of least resistance, and strong risk aversion.

All of these add up to mean that if the truck is how you're supposed to take your trash out, most people will accept it as the unavoidable hassle that it is. The remainder will either live in a fancy apartment that takes care of it for you, or else litter and/or abuse the few streetside trash cans you can manage to find around here.

That's not to discredit the people in Taiwan who really do give a damn – there's a great video on YouTube by a vlogger who invites the mayor of Taipei (!) to walk the streets picking up cigarette butts and other litter with him, and they share some great insights with each other. But I see Taiwan's trash disposal system much more as a triumph of central planning than the Taiwanese character.

EDIT: forgot the link to the video (no translation from Chinese, though)

> There are plenty of people doing open source data gathering and investigations. It's pretty interesting. Bellingcat is one of such orgs.

Bellingcat is also a great example of what it shouldn't be. Most of what is produced is misleading at best. Some of the core "experts" (i.e Dan Kaszeta) are closer to propaganda generators than genuine researchers or informed sources.
Old school Brooklynites were often VERY anti-tree.

There is some interesting research distinguishing "wanting" from "liking" behavior that is worth checking out. They are distinct neurochemical processes - addicts may "want" to engage in a behaviour due to dopamine reward circuitry but this is distinct from whether they actually "like" doing this. Animal models have been effective at teasing out the different neurochemical correlates of behavior.

I was a mid-level developer at a large software company making a very competitive salary and quit to join the U.S. Marine Corps and train to become a Naval Aviator.

I'm now a 'mid-level' AH-1Z pilot.

I work longer hours and have generally a lower quality of life but there's something to be said for the immensely unique things I've gotten to do and how profoundly well-rounded the entire experience has made me.

I will be re-entering the software industry in a few years unless another passion pulls me in some new direction.

The military is obviously not for everyone but picking up the phone, ducking into a side conference room across from my cube, and giving a verbal commit to my 'recruiter' that day (after a years-long selection process) has been the best decision I've ever made.
I have a ton of questions for you but I'll boil it down to several for now:

1) Which courses would you recommend?

Which had the greatest impact?

How would you do things differently?

Would you forego engineering entirely?

2) Suppose one doesnt have friends from school or work, how does one build a linkedin following?

What did you write about?

How did you promote your articles?

3. Again, favorite books? Most impactful?

4. Maybe once you get back to me, we can talk about 4 this sounds super interesting! But maybe you can give me the jist of what you did? For example why did they bother replying to you when tons are reaching out to them everyday?
What choices? And I mean ones that people would actually use or know about? Apple Maps is basically it, and it's only one one platform. Bing Maps...maybe? But Google has an effective monopoly on consumer based maps.
Note: I just graduated and have about 2 years of working experience at most. So my view presents on how to start a good early game. Also my view is EU-centric. I think this strategy would fare less well in the US (in some places).

Working as a freelancer with only 6 months of programming experience before that. (1) Best entry job salary ever, (2) you act and move like a consultant and see different industries, (3) you realize that there are industries for which graduate programming level knowledge is enough, (4) tax benefits and (5) it gives you some time and experience to actually think about what you want to do as a career after freelancing.

The rub: I am terrible at getting clients. I just have 1 friend who knows that I'm capable of and he thinks I'm awesome and always recommends me whomever he talks to. So having a champion is vital. The thing is all kinds of companies see him as a good programmer (he graduated a bootcamp, top/1st of his class -- by a landslide) and he thinks I am as good as him but with a lot more in-depth knowledge due to my CS background. So for him it is very easy to recommend me.

The tip I got from some people was: don't be a freelancer for too long. You don't want to be one in a recession, so being a freelancer should always be either (a) a side gig or (b) a temporary full-time thing (for a couple of years). I wonder what people think about this statement.

Immediately investing the excess of whatever you earn is amazing too.
They have to realize its not just about the auth cookies, its about ethics, and it should be reflected in the entire product line. Using Firefox and DuckDuckGo now because I appreciate better ethics. Honestly I become more and more aware recently.
Perhaps I misunderstood OP, but I thought he was pointing out the irony that the author is offereing an off-grid and offline-first app through a highly centralized outlet. I was merely pointing out that the app is also installable via the DAT installer, which is fully decentralized so that the app is also available for degoogled phones.
I had 3 times the average national net salary, not GDP, which I guess should be even more. But that income wouldn't have allowed me to retire either. It would allow us (me, my wife and a child) to live a comfortable life though.

As a back of the envelope calculation, if you can live with 30% from the income, one should be able to retire in about 7 years.
> Though, I think people should be forced to confront it, because it's the only way it's ever going to improve.

I'm conflicted about this.

On one hand I agree, and the news performs a vital service in exposing us to the terrible things in our world that we should try to fix.

But on the other, too much news can numb and demoralize you. The US political news cycle is a good example of this too. I can only stand so much of it before having to tune out for a while, even though I want to engage to the extent that I am able.

More important than watching the news is choosing a good couple of charities to donate to, IMO.
I see. I'm excited about nebulet and would be interested in participating in the design process for the IPC layer -- is there a place that discussion is taking place?
