yes, I've heard that argument but couldn't empathise with it ;) The book spoke to me directly and I have the opposite opinion. Definitely an interesting read but also polarising.
I have a feeling it was not explained deliberately so that the general public wouldn't know what it was and that what the legal definition of what meta data was could be expanded when required.

That's (part of) what governments are good for! They are great for making decisions in situations where larger investments over longer time periods pay good dividends.

Google does a lot of UA sniffing, and serves different sites to different browsers.

The sites served to non-Chrome receive less QA resources, as far as I can tell, and are often buggy in various ways. Simply spoofing the Chrome UA in Firefox on Android can often get you a site that works better (in Firefox) than the one served to Firefox by default.
How is this different from gVisor? Not complaining, this looks very awesome. I am just interested.

This is going to be a great world when we have arbitrary nesting of containers, finally we will have closure :) I think "docker compose" is a big lie.
I think your point is reconcilable with mine. At an individual level, I totally agree that the ultimate responsibility to guide our lives is ours alone. Even if others are holding us back, we have the duty to do our best given our circumstances.

But on a societal level, we see real patterns that result from the workings of our system. Is obesity rising because people are getting lazier? Or has stagnant wages, decreased access to fresh food, poorer education, increased marketing of junk food, and a relentless optimization of food profitablity had a hand in it? I believe that, for any particular person, it's their own duty to keep themselves healthy, no matter what obstacles are in their way - no one else will do it for them. They could justifiably blame society, but in the end, their health is their own responsibility. At the same time, I think there is a lot that society can do to reduce the obstacles, and make it so that, on average, more people succeed in keeping themselves healthy.

When making public policies, I think there is a balance to strike between the individual and society. We can't just keep rewarding success and call it another opportunity; opportunity is making it easier to succeed by taking down barriers.

If we ask some people to work twice as hard as others for the same reward, we can't be surprised that those people, on average, are going to fall behind. There will always be survivors, but we shouldn't be using survival of the fittest as our guide. I don't mind if some lazy people can thrive, but I do mind if hard working people can't advance, which still is far too common of an occurrence.
Other than precision, why would you need mouse support on a touchscreen device with an OS that is built and optimized for touch?

And you can get better precision from the Apple Pencil or other styli.

Mouse-support would actually be a step backwards on an iPad; multitouch lets you do things that are impossible with the single pointer of a mouse, such as interacting with multiple UI elements (like sliders, knobs) at the same time with multiple fingers, even across different apps in split-view.

I'm honestly glad iPhones/iPads/Macs don't try to be touchscreen PCs, and I'm glad Apple explores the full breadth of each device's unique strengths, borrowing the best from each other without trying to be each other (except in some cases like wasting the larger screen space on iPads; displaying a single column of Lock Screen widgets or showing 4x4 icons in folders even on the 12.9" iPad.)
We could settle on a logic that includes some of these unfalsifiable aspects as axioms or rules. A useful logic doesn't necessarily imply unfalsifiability in the sense of physical experiment. It could very well contain axioms we all reasonably agree on, like "I exist." The problem with Christianity is not that it makes unfalsifiability claims, it's that it includes all-encompassing statements like "god is everything", "god does everything". How does this tree grow? God grows the tree. How is it that I age? God ages me. How come it appears the tree grows according to laws? God made the laws--or more perversely--god made me think there are laws. This perspective is useless for fuethering knowledge. In fact it attacks knowledge by trivializing it. It unversally wraps every possible statement in "god". My stance toward christians is they may as well keep all the god stuff to themselves because it adds absolutely nothing to the conversation.
Depending on the urgency of your communications, step one may well be: Ask.

It could be that further up the network they are dropping HTTPS packets, or that they plan to in future. It isn't unheard of to simply deny encrypted protocols at the ISP level for a period of time and I could see China doing this in some areas while simultaneously forcing common sites and apps to have functional unencrypted versions to minimise commercial disruption.

You have to account for fatigue also. While a repeated process can drop into the 'automatic' mode where you're unfocused but still running through the task, critical validations can be omitted when focus is not retained. These techniques guard effectively against that, as there are clear, focus-inducing markers when something is wrong in the process.

This is the main thing you're guarding against. It's not complacency, or additional pressures... It's just plain old boring fatigue which on a long enough time span will hit every operator.
Very likely. Up until the past 10 years or so, you could pick up a case of returnables. Very handy for those brewing at home. Can’t remember the last time I saw them available.
Oh man, this always Madden's me when a company takes away some option in the name of simplifying for the majority of users.

Put it on a screen called advanced options or something, even about:config, and let us decide!

That is, if you're really not just manipulating your users.
> In order to really make good use of your hardware you need to understand your hardware and code accordingly

Understanding your hardware is only half the story. To use the hardware effectively, you also need to have mathemaitcal insights into your problem.

A rather extreme proof of this fact is bubble_sort.c vs. quick_sort.java. I think it's clear which of those is using the machine more effectively...

> I doubt you can achieve great performance on a language that focuses entirely on mathematical representations without considering the hardware.

Plenty of very high level languages have extremely effective compilers. SQL query engines come to mind.

> So yeah... you end up with a beautiful mathematical expression ... but runs way slower than an "ugly" equivalent in c code.

TLA+ et al. are about primarily about correctness and designed for situations where correctness is hard to get. Beauty is relevant only in-so-far as it helps one the path to correctness.

So make an advanced options screen divided into categories.

It's not hard.

And you don't have to do every possible customisation options, just the ones that people are enraged about.
Book Review: The Analect of Confucius
The article is not accurate.

Pre-KPTI, the cost of a system call might have been hundreds of cycles total. On a modern chip, that’s ~50ns.

Add kernel code for relevant operation. A read on a pipe might be 500ns total. A read on a cached file would be similar.

Add a few hundred cycles for KPTI.

A typically function call will be tens of cycles, but with lots of copies and stack changes can easily be hundreds.
Using a throwaway for potentially obvious reasons. I have a very hard time having empathy for my mom. She is diagnosed manic depressive, bipolar, schizophrenic. I've witnessed her deteriorate over my entire life. You can tell me all day that it biological. I can utterly accept that. I can't accept that a bright woman has fucked up her life to the point where she is homeless. That she has alienated all those who would help her. That she would destroy her own environment and blame the imaginary. We've had to decide to leave her to herself and not help due to the manipulation that comes with it. Her phone is blocked. We've moved addresses. I don't know if empathy is the right answer. It sucks. The whole thing sucks.
I obviously can't comment on this without any further information but I have to say that this sounds quite unusual. We have very strict policies regarding due process: https://www.namecheap.com/legal/general/court-order-and-subp...

Really? That one is easy to understand. Google is a malware company and anyone that cares about privacy wouldn't work there in the first place.
I do have to agree with you insofar as the studies' particular results go: in both scenarios, the patient suffered: in the first scenario because of a lifetime of depression, in the second because of the same + the trauma of the early life experiences. So, if we follow your dictum:

> We feel empathy for what they went through.

(which I mostly agree with) —then yes, the relatively higher portion of empathy should go for the character in the latter scenario (which matches the results of the study).

That said, if we generalize the study and apply it to the setting it's concerned with (medical practitioners empathizing with patients)—it's not a matter of relative measures between multiple patients; it's a question of whether the empathy a patient may (or may not) inspire is sufficient to cross some threshold for a medical practitioner.

If the fact that the cause is of biological origin is sufficient to drop the empathy response beneath that threshold —then it's problematic (the paper points out supporting research for just how problematic it is). After all, the person who has suffered a lifetime of depression does deserve empathy from a doctor/therapist, even if not as much (I guess) for somebody who suffers additional afflictions on top.

Actually that makes me wonder how much dealing with many patients who are very badly off (and deserving much empathy) moves the threshold for the doctor, so that maybe they can't empathize so much for patients with situations which are legitimately bad—but not as bad as what they've seen a lot of...
I've not understood why we don't use standardized reusable packaging to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions. There was an economic freedom argument in the past, but the externalities are just proving too great to say that, you know, my company needs its beer or sweet drink or water in a special one-time-use, resource-intensive, air and ocean-polluting bottle. If every company has to comply, market competition will be left unhampered (or perhaps improved as firms would be pushed to compete more on product and less on brainwashing--sorry I mean branding). I remember pleasantly gazing at the shape of a Perrier bottle as a child. Nice, but not nice enough to warrant so many tons of greenhouse gas emissions.

Hey, can you send me your email? I've got something I want to discuss.
It's about privacy and also about taking away functionality that worked all these years for me. At work we use Google Apps and I sign in as with my work address for Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, etc. and am used to one click access to all these apps. But I like to sync my bookmarks, extensions and settings to my personal account - and that's it - I don't want to sign in to my personal Gmail, Docs, Drive in the browser. The new Chrome not only forces me to, but it now makes my personal account the primary one (/u/0 for Gmail) and forces me to go through several clicks for other apps to change accounts. And they didn't even ask before pushing this - one fine day Chrome auto updated and forced this feature on me and it took several days and a lot of signing out/in deleting cookies, posting on groups, etc. to figure out the flags workaround.

I know the following is not welcome on HN, but I have to vent somewhere folks that think this was a good idea are reading, so here it is: A big fuck you to Chrome for forcing this feature on us!

I mean as a mental model.

You can for example analyze a program assuming an ideal compiler (which I have seen people do), or you can understand the actual compiler used. The second is an implementation detail subject to change, but it’s also more accurate.

I recall one meeting when people said doing comparisons with a list of objects one comparison at a time should be as fast as doing the same thing one object at a time. I pointed out that due to cache issues doing each check an object at a time would be faster. A few people where shocked when the test showed a significant improvement.
This illustrates what may be the real problem. Chrome’s sync is a genuinely useful feature. There is no reason at all it needs to be conflated with being signed in to websites.

For that matter, sync is a fantastic use of E2E encryption, and it will be interesting to see if using sync data for any purpose other than syncing it is a GDPR violation.
>the future effects of an action should be evaluated to a level befitting the severity of the potential consequences.

> You went through the trouble to create a "free" HTML version of it, so you already know the answer to that question. In any case, thanks for the link and thanks for posting your book to Github.

The GitHub experience was worse back when I implemented the HTML version on my own site, because they weren't rendering AsciiDoc back then. Regardless, I implemented it because it was fun to integrate all the things (O'Reilly Atlas, GitHub, Twitter, and my site's automation processes) and as a way to centralize all if my content on my site.
Not only are criminals misusing technology to have conversations that the Australian Government can't listen to, they're also taking clever physical countermeasures like having conversations in person -- sometimes completely out of earshot of their own devices!

If we as a society (quite reasonably) conclude that our government should have access to criminals' communications, allowing savvy criminals to make use of "non-electronic backdoors" is obviously out of the question.

Anyone want to propose an enforcement mechanism? Maybe listening devices implanted in everyone, or just everywhere in our homes?

I haven't used Pandora in years and Spotify almost never. I use SoundCloud sparsely, on occasion when someone posts an indie or to listen to podcasts like a16z. But for everyday use, I use Google Music or YouTube / Music.

Years ago I spent a week recreating my long lost high school and college CD collections on Google Play was able to find almost everything, even some of the most ecsoteric remixes.

And when entertaining, people always gravitate towards DJing through YouTube videos on the TV, and so I wired everything up with Chromecast / Chromebook pairs to make it easy. Even though they can go to any app/site they want, everyone uses YouTube.

It's by no means obsolete. You could think of it as a matter of constraints.

For the world cup I hosted a results feed in an nginx serving an static file and it worked great, my other option was using S3 which was much more expensive and as I had time and wanted to keep the project's budget low I ended up with a cheap VPS.
Is that the actual cost? I know there were estimates from 2010 for ~146 million USD, but I kinda doubt that the mission is actually that cheap (considering the launch probably cost $80 million by itself)
Regardless of if the data is identifiable, the patient would need to be consented for their data to be used for research purposes. This is a pretty standard clause, and I’d be shocked if MSK didn’t have this as part of their standard consent, but it may not have been done for all patients over the years. The patients would not have a right to reclaim the reminant tissue, but they may still have a say in how the data derived from their treatment is used, deidentified or not. Normally this is an IRB issue. I have no idea how you’d go though licensing these data commercially. It’s an ethical minefield.

For example, if patients knew their data would be licensed commercially, they may not have agreed to their treatment.

And even if it was legal do do this without consent, you’d still want to make sure you had patient consent just to avoid these issues at all. If they didn’t have consent, it’s a huge PR issue, even if not a legal one.
Why would that be the case instead of programs following power/popularity like natural languages do? After all the lingua Franca of the world isn’t French anymore, despite its romance origins and therefore high “backwards compatibility” with Latin.
Now compare that FPGA with the Xilinx ZU3EG [1] (used on the Ultra96). I have been looking at the USB 3 support on that processor as a means of driving a regular LimeSDR board. Even better would be pulling 4x PCIe[2] lanes of the Zynq and driving an M.2 form factor XTRX or something similar to that. For my purposes I want to insure the SDR has MIMO capability.

[1] https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/selection-guide...

[2] And yes I know I would need a ZU4EG rather than the ZU3EG that is on the board. If I was doing my own board I'd use the 4EG and add some extra memory attached right to the FPGA fabric.
Would be 10x more awesome if an "auto-play" mode were possible, with associated audio-file, and pre-programmed transitions.

Would take sound file attachment, and array of minute/second offsets; once timed to audio file, this would be better than YouTube videos, and supplement conference talks.
The same behavior may be present on Windows for all I know. I've used Win7 a handful of times and Win 10 once or twice, so I don't have a good handle on how the Registry deals with uninstalls these days.

My complaints re disk space are mostly still around because SSD prices are still not cheap compared to spinning disks. For example, I went from 80 GB (2005 Dell Latitude) to 120 GB (2007 MBP) to 256 GB (2013 MBP). Desktop drives at the time were probably triple to quadruple the storage at half the price, so it's still an issue.

To migrate everything to an SSD in my next machine will take somewhere between 1-2 TB, and last I checked, the 1 TB option on a MacBook Pro was $600.
They continue doing the key wrapping with HMAC for U2F. Resident keys are for the "passwordless" authentication method under FIDO2.

U2F requires that the server must know exactly which keyHandles to request, based on the username (and probably password) that is supplied earlier by the user, so that the token can take the keyHandle and derive the key.

In FIDO2 "passwordless" mode, there's no username or other identifier presented, so it's just a generic request for credential from the server -- the authenticator has to independently figure out which key to present based only on the origin/domain, and maybe even present a list of stored keys (probably effectively a list of accounts?) to the user for selection. So it'd need some local/resident storage of various bits like the origin, maybe a user-chosen account name, and the actual credential, since it can no longer rely on the server to do store all these bits.
