The PSTN and phone system telecom industry in general is not hardened. The more you see the underpinnings of it, as I have, the more it looks like a bunch of 30-year-old bullshit held together with the technological equivalent of duct tape and twine.

Can anyone comment on the security of StartPage/IxQuick?

As far as I know, they proxy Google results and avoid storing them in the browser via either a URL rewrite or a POST call. I find Google to return superior search data than DDG, particularly if it's not giving you recommended or personally ranked results (that alone makes it feel worthwhile to switch to SP/IxQuick). But it kind of feels like a free lunch.

You might be right from an industry wonk's perspective, but what matters is consumer expectation.

For example: Apple themselves uses the term refurbished to describe an iPhone that—but for the packaging—appears identical to a brand new item as far as any regular consumer could tell.

non-binding arbitration wouldn't solve the power imbalance, as if the company loses they would file an appeal in court - and you'd have to pay or drop it. For it to work as intended it has to be binding.

The flip side is you can't go to court - but alas you couldn't afford to anyways.

Ugh, this is all stressing me out. I have an interview with a tech company in NY that interfaces with the fashion industry and I've worked from home for the past 3 years.

I suppose both observations are reminiscent of the fact that Python has language-level support for named parameters. Given that named and sequential parameters are treated differently everywhere in Python (sequential params must be provided, keyword args are optional, amongst other things), it would be extremely surprising behaviour if the run-time type of the value being spread determined what kind of spread happened.

In JavaScript, the surrounding syntatical context solely decides if it's an object or array splat. But since Python has 2 kinds of parameters, to preserve obviousness when reading code using splats, they went with 2 operators for each parameter kind, and then separated list and dictionary splat analogously.
> The purpose of defense contracting is to dish out pork to congressional districts.

It wasn't meant to be a strawman - this is genuinely how I'm interpreting most of the really negative comments about slack.

As a layman, I think this title is way off, even if the internal concepts of the piece are reasonable. We're a long way from fleets of autonomous vehicles being ubiquitous enough that I can expect a vehicle of the specs I require to be available in the same amount of time as I could start one in my driveway. Maybe this isn't fully informed, but my impression is that even an early automobile was strictly better than a horse, for the riders in the moment.

That said, the average person may have bought their second-to-last car. But I bet you we end up owning passenger/cargo modules that dock at our houses for transport platforms to pick us up in.
A part of the F-35's ground attack mission includes close air support. Of course, the F-35 also has massive drawbacks there as well.

In terms of force projection, it's the ability to shut down the enemy's close air support while providing it to your side which is part of the whole point of air superiority.

Since when is a Porsche 911 not ostentatious? It's a sports car in $100K+ territory and functionally impractical / limited.

Only compared to a car which costs millions could it be considered reasonable and not ostentatious.

Google isnt even a good search engine any more. I tried finding my friends website, www.catbartlett.com.au, with the terms "Freelance graphic designer Cat Bartlett Perth Western Australia" - pretty specific, but the first page is nothing but LinkedIn profile links and random mentions of her in testimonials. If it takes thousands of $$ in SEO to get found, how is that a useful search engine? We might as well go back to human-submitted catalogues.

I think the Google vision is to become internet gatekeepers, not to be a useful tool for finding things. That's why they need to die.

Congrats on shipping! I was looking for something like this...

Is it possible to get feedback on the built-code? Do you have any feature down the line that will let people submit "solved" challenges and get feedback on their code from real front end developers?

That way, it would help catch bad coding practices early... or maybe you could include a standard solution with each challenge, kind of like how PluralSight courses have a "Before" and "After" folders, with the "After" folder containing the completed code.

Where I work Slack gets a little bit of use for some semi synchronous conversations. Not a lot. The rest of the time it's mostly a way to copy paste things to other people... links, code snippets, log files, screen shots
>But when it comes to YouTube or Facebook, no moderation policy is appropriate because there is no single set of community standards for all users...

There doesn't have to be.

In my view, YouTube and Facebook, are private property. It's like the example of the exclusive country club. I can't argue that the country club is big and has all the best restaurants, so they have to let me in. It's their club.

Or perhaps a more analogous example. What happens a lot up here in Wisconsin is that some families sit on a lot of land. Needless to say, during deer season, there are a lot of people who think they can just go on that land to hunt. But that's not how it works. I don't like it. I'd like to hunt on some of that land. It's all of the best spots being monopolized by one family, but it's THEIR property.

My right to hunt doesn't mean that all of a sudden they don't have a right to their land. It's their land.

Same with YouTube. Go to another video streaming site. Or start your own. But you don't get to tell YouTube what to do with their video streaming site.

Your right to speak freely is not impinged at all by them precluding you from their site for instance. Any more than my right to hunt is impinged by a certain family, that shall remain nameless, not sharing their land.
Whether you can get a dump under the GDPR is separate from who holds the copyright, and even if you can, I think a strong argument can be made that not all data that such a car collects need be personal data. Where your car was, what passengers the car detected, whether they were attentive, etc, to me certainly are personal data, but a log of, say, oil temperature or vibration in the engine may not be personal data, certainly not if the manufacturer immediately aggregates it across thousands of cars.

Also, this case doesn’t (as of yet) declare that data is copyrightable; it just removes a clause that explicitly states it isn’t.

Good design how? The Shuttle had a mess of disparate, conflicting requirements that meant it fulfilled none of them well: huge cross-range capability for the sake of an Air Force "capture a satellite in less than 1 orbit" mission that never actually happened (which compromised the design aerodynamics), heavy-lift cargo capability (which meant the SRBs with inherent safety problems), human-only operated (which made it expensive for cargo), reusability that ended up being more expensive than a disposable vehicle...

It could be the early warning signs of such a collapse, but I suspect that the market is instead increasingly reflecting the costs of the unnecessary trade war the US administration is pursuing.

If these are early warning signs, that same trade war (or direct effects therefrom) is most likely to be the proximate trigger, although there could always be a black swan event of some sort instead (for example a data breach large and complete enough to actually ruin the credit of many USAians).

When Twitch/Amazon acquired Curse through Twitch they made everyone in the Alabama office sign very broad non-complete contracts as a condition of continued employment, but the California office was spared.

Sleep is different to low-power mode in embedded devices.

Most (all?) microcontrollers have a wide range of low-power modes that disable more and more features of the chip to save power.

So if you only need it to do something say once every minute, you can usually save a lot of battery life by using the low-power modes.
Among other things, the situation in the article is an excellent example of why we need a national ID system instead of the absurd patchwork of different issuers that exist today.
True. Had I been involved with Bitcoin, I probably would've done that, myself, and regretted it.

But then again, if we're talking about cashing out for an amount of money on which you can pursue hobbies, live comfortably, and never have to work for another person again... I can't imagine I would regret it that much.
Redistribution of wealth usually refers to seizing private assets directly, rather than simply creating more taxes.

> I'm saying that, given a generic human Slack user, Slack's design team is optimizing for engagement. They are making explicit choices about how/where/why to show notifications and how the @ commands work, and their goals are to _increase engagement on Slack_.

I don't see this, Slack seems to have a pretty simple feature set to me.

There's a different kind of notification for direct messages, and situations where someone consciously decides to flag a specific person in a channel message. (All features that aren't unique to Slack, and that I would expect any chat application to have).

What would you expect it to do differently? It seems like the Slack devs are just making the notifications behave the way that I would intuitively expect them to behave, and how most people use IRC or other group chat apps.

> Seems they ae trying to tell me that although I searched for something they know that I really wanted something else.

Consider: maybe you know the keyword that should be in the document you want to find... but the author of the document you want to find, didn't use that keyword. Instead, they used a synonym for it, because they were unaware of the idiomatic keyword to use.

Example: medical journals. Eventually, everyone agrees on what the term for something is. But the very first few papers on that thing, might not call it that, because they were inventing it.

Do you want to fail to find those first (and most important) few papers on the subject? Or do you want Google to do the text-parsing equivalent of "snap to grid", ensuring that documents that say the right thing the "wrong" way still show up?

As far as I can tell, as far as the output goes, correcting your language and correcting the document's language are basically indistinguishable. Google could just be thinking of what it's doing as the latter, and yet it ends up having the same effect as the former.

I switched away from Google to Bing on my iPhone because I like to Google in incognito mode for basically everything... and recently Google’s added some annoying friction to that.

I started Googling in incognito when Google decided to return “personalized” search results instead of standard results, a few years ago. I was always more interested in the normal results than whatever Google thought I specifically wanted to see. But, since this Summer when I switch to a fresh incognito mode session to do a Google search, I have to click on traffic lights and sidewalks multiple times just to see the first search result. And it always says I failed the first two tries even when I know I did it right. I end up having to do a minute of clicking on images just to do a search. It’s like I’m being punished for wanting to Google in incognito. It happened often enough on my phone for me to go screw this and switch the default search engine.

Bing’s search results just aren’t as good though. I often have to Google for some things, still. But now I’m trying Duck Duck Go.

By the way not sure why my own anecdotal experience is being downvoted. This is my own actual experience, not really an opinion piece.

So I’ll accept that lead pipes are not great but how bad is lead paint really?

Specifically, if you have lead paint underneath several layers of more modern titanium paint, what is the lead poisoning risk? I thought the more significant risk with lead paint was from paint flaking into dust, especially for painted iron which comes off as the iron rusts.
