This road is really hard, I agree. All I can say is don't be too hard on yourself-- it's them, not you.

Send out hundreds of applications, network constantly and give concrete answers in interviews that aren't too wishy-washy.

I don't have any magic bullets besides persistence and budgeting really hard. Good luck!
Interesting, might give it a try again.
k, wasn't sure. I don't track the Chrome release schedule at all, so figured it was probably quarterly. Sounds like it's monthly then.

Looking again, yep mid-October. So, no rush then. A couple of weeks worth of extra data collection it is then.
Beginners Guide to Web Push Notifications Using Service Workers
My complaint is not this specific change, but the thought, review and release process that allowed this to become the default. And what was the thinking behind not attempting to explain the cookie behavior that at the very least is surprising, but generally just a bit creepy, right?

Did users really need to explain this to Google? Perceptions of trustworthiness are based upon behavior, and this erodes that a bit. Not a massive amount, but enough to cast new features in a different light.

(The justification that 'most people will find this easier to understand' only goes so far and the fact it gets trotted out so often is itself concern. 'Being logged in everywhere makes your life easier!' Okay, ... and? Who else's life does it make easier and what are they gaining?)
Isn't Alphabet the clear "parent" of Google... I'm biased, but we are witnessing the beginning of a monopoly that wasn't imaginable pre-internet. Old rich white men are trembling in their shoes... The take-over game but played better, sexier, and immune. My G-ma loves the Google, so easy even the 90 year olds get it

Chrome is just spyware. Move on to Firefox already. At some point, Chrome was feeling faster than Firefox and some dev tooling warranted a try. But, with Firefox where it is now, seriously think why on Earth do you want to run this spyware from Google as your web browser.

Poland/Ukraine (back and forth)

Wages are crap for the people but in IT they are actually really good compared to the cost of living. (You can save a few thousand dollars a month - if you're a senior or contractor. Apartment rentals are $300-$500 a month). Its tougher for a woman to be treated seriously in the business. Especially in Ukraine.

Hard to buy good hardware - some stuff is just not available here. No amazon for easy shipping and no real alternative. Shipping from the west is expensive and takes time plus customs fees.

Society is racist and sexist.(the thing that hurts the most) Hate being around people at parties who spew the same jokes after they get tipsy. "Im not racist, but..." Casual racism everywhere. There is violence against minorities and social activists. Government doesnt seem to do much about it.

This is exactly the kind of bullying attitude that is pushing US allies away from the US. Using the dollar as a weapon causes everyone to desperately seek alternatives.
Google sells user data. They profit amassing data. AI is a nascent technology that Google will happily lead. But until AI is ready, Google will continue to happily sell data - your data, my data, anyone who touches the internet in fact.
The reason you call the Cold War the Cold War and not World War 3 is because of what stopped the system of wars you refer to, and what immediately ended the second world war: nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons prevent countries from militarily exerting influence against another nuclear nation. Nuclear weapons are the great equalizer of power. Pakistan was harboring Osama Bin Laden next to a military related facility - a man we destroyed two countries seeking, one under completely false pretenses. Yet when we finally found him, in Pakistan, our response was a silent and rapid in and out followed by mostly token gestures. Iraq and Afghanistan did not have nuclear weapons. Pakistan does.

All our current system of relations has done is turn US into the world's final word on everything. This creates more of an autocratic than a democratic system of world relations. That Saudi Arabia sits on UN human rights council, chairing their advisory committee (which chooses appointed 'independent experts') speaks to how functioning our international institutions are. They are a little more than a proxy for US influence. I do not think any single government should have such a unilateral influence on the happenings of the world.

From a mobile perspective, I used to be heavily invested in the Android ecosystem. Now I use an iPhone and and willingly hand over my Apple tax every few years and will continue to do so whilst I can afford it.

Google's direction is a pity really, as Apple needs a strong competitor in the mobile market to maintain innovation momentum.
> The reality is that I don’t want a search engine in my phone.

For what it's worth, I've disabled the 'Google' app on my Android phone for a few weeks now, and have experienced no problems. I don't use Google for search, and I already had Chrome disabled too, so all it did was take up some memory and battery, now freed up. All I lost was an extra screen on the mobile "desktop" (which I mostly only accidentally ended up in anyway), and some (generally useless) notifications about "things I might like".

Re6st indeed is more focused on connectivity than performance because it re-establish connection even when the Chinese great firewall kicks in.

This is a moot point, the entire kernel is written in C. Since all code running on your computer involves kernel code running in ring 0, by your logic that would imply something is wrong, but it's not. System calls verify all input before executing.

Yes, that's my experience as well. I listen to and discover a lot of obscure, often rare music and Shazam isn't very helpful in these niches. Although that might be expected.

On a sidenote: It's surprising that Google isn't more useful in those searches either. Often I have to search for rare releases by relying on lyrics and Google's results are plain terrible. I understand that the lyrics are probably nowhere listed and idnexed, but considering that even the rarest releases are uploaded by someone on Youtube, some kind of auto transcription feature would be very helpful.

Sure, it's a niche interest, but the Discogs user base is still huge.
Obviously. Does it matter whether such killings are systemic or incidental? It think it does.

For the particular case it might not but for general reaction it does.
How much time until it's proven he cheated? I give it one year.

(This comment is in jest, but that has been my experience with the speedrunning community thus far.)
You are so right. I am just frustrated that they reached global ubiquity and treated user data as a for-profit product rather than a for-good application.

In the last 18 months, Google transitioned from being a 'build products people will use to enhance their daily lives' company (with Google profiting immensely but for the enhancement of humankind) to a company that is nonchalant in the sale of human data, often to the detriment of their users' experience
I'm not missing anything. You can keep moving the goal posts all you want.

The conversation was about applets, running in a web browser, and how a browser AND the the JVM's available at Java's release, did or didn't require an operating system to run.

Embedded Java is not "applets". Nobody is denying that there is billions of devices running client side Java code.

There's a difference. But in practice the difference doesn't matter.

As a user you expect a reasonable level of privacy unless the software explicitly requests your consent for providing certain information or explicitly asks you to provide that information manually. If the software then hands that information off to a third party you expect that only to happen with explicit consent.

The problem in this case is that Google isn't interested in consent. It tries to get as much information as it can without needing to ask for consent and when it does ask for consent it's through coercion by tying that consent request to actions that are not reflective of the scope of the request ("You want to save your home location? Okay but in order to do that we need to be able to track your every move forever").

That's arguably far more malicious than explicitly saying "please let us share this info with company XYZ so we can continue offering this service for free". That most companies selling data to third parties aren't so explicit about it is irrelevant -- this is just about the claim that "selling data" is inherently more malicious than what Google is doing.

That said, no, selling does not mean "surrendering any and every control over it". GDPR and friends specifically address that by stating that the human being the data is about continues to own that data and can withdraw consent at any time (at any depth of sharing).
Just the tip bro.
Do you have an online reference for that?

Wow, thank you so much!

I have an interest in this from several points of view. I like photography, in particular on film, I have a modest Laserdisc collection and I am interested in the history of that format. Presumably the images are in "CAV" format, which means they would be perfect still images on a TV set and also searchable by index. IIRC 9999 images could be searched on a single Laserdisc. (But maybe more, certainly the format is capable of holding many more images per side, IIRC 50 000 images per side, but maybe not in individual indexes.)

Also the Laserdisc existed in a write once, read many format - rather similar to CDR technology, but of course analog and very expensive by today's standards. I imagine that is what they used, although they could have ordered a limited pressing run, but that would have been incredibly expensive if they didn't need many copies of the discs.

Fascinating links.
Multiple implementations, derived languages with similar concepts
No, that's not entirely correct. The version with more rotors (4) came during the war, not pre-war, and was only ever adapted by the German Navy. The rest continued using the 3-wheel version.

What the Germans did at the start was to increase the complexity (by how they wired it, etc), and the "only" problem the Poles had was that they had only 6 of their own Bombe, and they would need many more. They didn't have the resources to build them.

Edit: To my utter surprise I found there was a real Enigma machine in a tiny volunteer-run military museum in my home town.
Indeed. I meant that in a less literal sense.

Was thinking more about it for myself - these innocent kids were mercilessly killed, and I should at least take the time to acknowledge their suffering, even if it’s uncomfortable for me.
Show HN: Stacker – build web apps in your browser, without code

Co-founder here. I've been working on this for about a year. I had been building platforms for several marketplace-type startups in a row, I realised that I was literally just reimplementing the same easy stuff again and again. So I quit, and built this so that the founders/product team could build whole features without needing to call me.

So far we've got a few real apps running live – a social network, a platform business, a fact-checking portal, as well as demos of a few other apps on Stacker.
That does sound like an ideal career path to me – I'm one of those people who gets bored with everything far too quickly. What's your tech stack and how did you make the switch?
But why would one need their own version of OpenJDK today?
APL is the original language, and has spawned a family of similar languages, usually ones that don't use the same extremely specialized symbolic charset of the original language.

This is similar to how languages of the Lisp family are called 'Lisps'.
> This is slightly dodgy.

It is punitive. They are (and are within their rights to) withholding value because you aren't giving them what they want, which is mineable activity information.

I notice that there are always cartoons of happy users getting additional useful features from their services when tracking is enbled, but never cute cartoons of the other actors extracting value based upon advertising etc. Truth In Condescending Explain-o-Toons, now! etc.
There are several implementations that have their differences. It's kinda similar to "Lisps" in plural. Lisp is a programming language, but it's also a family of similar languages.

Also, languages like K and J, maybe Q could be considered part of APL family due to their array oriented design and single character operator syntax.
Even worse than undermining expectations about the price of software, since google's general use apps (gmail, docs, etc.) are Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS[1]), Google is also undermining the basic concept of buying a copy of software. Even as an intangible good, it's easy to understand the value of owning a copy that you get to keep and use on your own terms. When the same software is only available as a service, availability issues and other risks that outside your control make the service less valuable.

Why should someone want to buy software when most of the software they see and use regularly are unreliable services?

In a comment below it is stated that they were archived on Laserdisc. I can imagine the images were written to a tape master first, then the tape used to write the (probably write-once) Laserdiscs.

The tape could have been U-matic, but maybe it was digital video tape, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-2_(video) which was released in 1989. If so, the whole project would have been at the very bleeding edge technology wise.
Exactly. You more commonly hear this when talking about Lisp. Racket is a Lisp and so is Scheme or Common Lisp, and what we mean by that is dialects.
In the article he mentions J, K and Dyalog as APLs.
> There is no way possible that they have reviewed and considered all public submissions in 10 days. The government also stated that they had "widely consulted industry" to which the major IPSs denied.

Normally both side of politics are happy for ideas to be discussed in civil society for months if not years. The internet filter, or NEG, the "meta data" discussion - so many examples. There is no practical reason this should not go the same route.

But there might be a political one. The strong response means it's probably going to be opposed by just about everybody. My guess is the Libs are hoping it will create a long and loud debate on of their favoured topics - law and order. They desperately need something, anything, to get their own internal turmoil off the front pages, and this must seem like what the doctor ordered. One way of stoking the debate it to get it before the parliament, and quickly.

I'm sure they see it as no different to the meta data debate. The arguments against that were subtle - explaining how big data can be used to knit together a fairly complete picture of a persons life from just the addresses on envelopes is hard. But explaining what is do bad about this won't be so hard: they are demanding the be allowed to legally hack all devices we own so they can install spyware. The concept has been explored in the popular media through movies like Minority Report and TV shows like Person of Interest. If the government makes it easy for themselves to do this, the idea that criminals and rogue states will use it too has already been implanted.

I suspect the debate may go a bit differently this time.
as a European, I don't feel close to US at all at the moment.
I would assume this is to compete with Apple's offerings (after all Apple doesn't just sign you into the browser, but into the OS nowadays). Apart from Chrome OS, Google doesn't have any other way to offer similar (tab-syncing, etc) functionality and signing you into their own browser is the closest they can get.
Are these repeat offenders? Do they have to pay the cost of proceedings? Late fees? Is the system as a whole in a deficit? Is it because these tricksters?
Moving from academia to industry.

I have a Bachelor's in Molecular Biology and was going to walk the academic path but decided to switch to Computer Science (had some engineering background before) for a Master's degree with the specific plan to go into industry. It was hard, I had to do a lot of extra credits while studying full time and working to pay the bills, but I got into a CS Master's degree and finished it very successfully.

I now have a very interesting job with good pay, high recognition and enough flexibility to pursue other dreams (like making music, etc.).
Dumb question, but what does "signed into Chrome" even mean? Since when do you sign into a Browser (or any other app on your computer, for that matter).

I use mostly Firefox, so what am I missing about Chrome?

Heart breaking. Congratulations to the BBC for this amazing analysis. But real justice would require telling the story of how these women came to be murdered. This region in Cameroon is a flash point for a regional fight against a Muslim fundamentalist / warlord group called Boko Haram (translates as “western education is a sin”). How and why did these four civilians come to be murdered as a part of this tragic conflict in one of the poorest parts of the world?
That's a good point.

No that isn't the problem. There are essentially 200 unnamed functions that you have to learn. The problem isn't that he hasn't learned them, it's that there are 200 of them that you have to learn!

Normal languages only have about 20 unnamed functions (i.e. operators) and they're mostly things we've already learnt at school.

There are dozens of NGOs trying to save you from genetically modified crops, or raising awareness about chemicals in your soap, or fighting day and night to save cockroaches from extinction. The only one that absent is the NGO that would make a list of goods spying on a customer and bring it up on some website. Isn't that funny?
The 'suggested articles' that they sneaked into the Android Chrome 'new tab' page a few versions ago really get up my nose. There are some switches somewhere to turn them off but its hard to do.

I listen to a lot of technology podcasts, but my absolute favorite is "Coding Blocks". The hosts have such a good synergy with each other. They often read a few chapters of a book before an episode and then discuss their interpretations and personal experiences, which I find to be a great format.

What the actual fuck. It's a car that you've paid several tens of thousands for.

Google pestering you for personal data in return for '''''free''''' services is terrible because they are a monopoly, but in a sense we're to blame by expecting not to pay money for maps, mail, search. But this is about a car, on average one of the most expensive things a person owns.

Makes you wonder... How will we look back on this day and age 40 years from now?
1. No I don't trust these companies!
2. They probably have a data on me (somewhere in there dozens of huge data warehouses)
3. Google/Facebook could probably do that (knowingly or unknowingly is the question)
4. Google hasn't been breached because 1. there entire business model relies on data, 2. they maybe willingly giving the data to governments (off course respective citizens, not other countries data)
5. I realise that. I just, uh, it's just difficult to comprehend the subject, let alone the consequences
It would be a lot easier to find the function you want if it was represented by a descriptive name rather than an arbitrary symbol. I mean, I'm not saying you have to write `3 plus 4` but maybe there's a middle ground? I mean... the middle ground that most normal programming languages are in.
