Because it is used to drive down costs. The work is commodditized. It is made cheaper. It is a way to race to the bottom of cost and thus quality.

The definition of a restaurant is commonly something like this:
"a place where people pay to sit and eat meals that are cooked and served on the premises."

They are no longer restaurants by definition, whereas McDonalds will be. I think the parent poster is right to treat the trend with disdain. It just means cheaper garbage being served everywhere.

Why bother eating out?
> I would not pick minimalism as one of its strengths.

Minimalism is one of its strengths. The type of objection you raise is a fundamental misunderstanding of both pilot wave theories, and what "minimalism" actually means when it comes to selecting among competing theories.
Of course my friend can use the sensor data of my car if I let him/her. The question is whether the car company can claim that the sensor data that my friend collects while driving is theirs without informing him/her of it.
We actually kind of have a few putative mechanisms.

So what do you say about the idea that it creates a disincentive to find security issues, because you'll be hit for them one way or the other?

Also, I fundamentally disagree with your example. If they did an adequate investigation, using a 3rd party service, and found no evidence of my data being accessed by a 3rd party, and then fixed it- I'd say, "Good job checking up on yourselves" and move on.

Security is still incredibly hard to get right. I'm willing to bet your service has security holes in it, right now- and that's not a hit against you. We haven't mastered these systems and anyone who thinks they have is just waiting to get bit in the ass. Every security professional knows: It's never, ever, a question of "if", but of "when".
Tax breaks mostly flow to the wealthy, since the poor pay very little income tax. And the wealthy tend to sit on cash during slumps. Thus, tax-cuts are not the best stimulus. The best stimuli are those that flow to the middle and lower classes, who are more likely to re-spend any gains, cycling money quicker into the economy.
I know! I wanted to use sound but that has been done, so tried with a different part of the spectrum..
Polar has a similar feature if you're just wanting an archive of web pages:

https://getpolarized.io/

We support 'captured' HTML pages. Basically what we do is we fetch the full HTML of the content and store it in a PHZ file (polar HTML archive) and then we save that to disk (it's just a zip file with JSON metadata).

The Polar app is an Electron app so it has full access to render HTML.

We then inject our self into the network layer using protocol interceptors and if you're loading the URL you just captured we load the content from the PHZ instead of the network.

You can then annotate the content, take notes on it, tag it, and keep it forever without risk of it vanishing.

I use it for important documents that I can't afford to ever lose. For example, the Etherium whitepapers are in HTML , not PDF. they're also living documents so I can just capture anytime I want.

HTML files don't often print properly so this way I can keep them the way they were meant to be seen.
Stealth. If you wanted to reveal yourself, you wouldn't need to disguise your probe as space debris.
What we need, I think, is an HTML5-like effort from the industry. That's the one format I can think of which went from "complete mess" to "parses the same everywhere".

1. Look at how everybody is extending CSV in the real world

2. Make a new format which does those things, as closely to all the existing implementations as is reasonable

3. Write a fully-specified new syntax for it, including a complete parser (state machine including error cases)

4. Make a complete set of tests, which make it very obvious when you don't pass, for shaming everyone into compliance

5. Get buy-in from a major standards organization, and all of the major corporate players

I don't see any improvements/replacements succeeding if they don't hit all of these points. "CSV 1.1" here hits #1 and #2 only.
I thought Apple had an unmarked building at LG for their OLED technology development.
I might post a PDF later (as the content becomes final), or make a printable view. In the meantime try this:

# in your javascript console, paste this:
[].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll(".record, .calculation"), function(el){el.classList.add("selected")});
[].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll(".record, .calculation"), function(el){el.classList.add("annotate")});
[].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll("codesample"), function(el){el.classList.add("show")});

Then you can print the page to PDF.
> no evidence of abuse is not a breach

400 third-party apps had access to this info. It's not that "Google knows that there wasn't any abuse" but that "Google doesn't know whether there was any abuse, because it didn't have the proper systems in place to check for that anyway."

It's kind of like you saw no crime happening because you didn't look. But that says nothing about whether or not the crime actually happened.
>...you should be lining up at Google HQ with pitchforks over this. They're supposed to be above this. They are hailed as a gold standard.

Especially given the way Google, quite rightly, expose vulnerabilities through Project Zero.
For everyone looking for an alternative, Brief is an excellent add-on and I've been using it for the last 2 years:

AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/brief/

GitHub: https://github.com/brief-rss/brief

It also includes a `Page action` so that an RSS icon is shown in the address bar on sites that support RSS/Atom. Great for discovery.

Edit: Really strange, that `Brief` is missing in the curated list of readers that mozilla is linking to from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/feed-reader-replacement... as alternative: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/mozilla... (This looks like a really poor list)
I've seen `Brief` recommended all the time by users. I don't really mind that Firefox removes its RSS support: It was missing many features anyway and had a really poor UX.
How do they know that you can be trusted, and aren't just another spammer/phisher?

You and I can tell the difference, but to the sort of people who run vulnerable servers, perhaps a legitimate email about server security looks indistinguishable from the others ("Hi I'm from Microsoft technical support. Please let me in to your computer to help you fix it").

UDG sells IP.
Sure, I'll update it with a better description of the flow, check back later on today.
I already searched feeds up in my feed reader, but only because the existing Firefox feature was poorly-integrated. I never could figure out how to have it redirect feeds to a reader. I wanted something like the way you can add search engines, but for third-party RSS readers.

The feature as it was didn't work very well, and they obviously weren't going to improve it. So maybe it's for the best that they remove it.
Sustaining the Underfunded: Nadia Eghbal
The reason the quote is not present is that there are just too many factors involved. What is the platform you are using (iOS, Android, ARM Cortex-M, DSP, etc)? What is the scale? Are you deploying to ten devices or ten million? Do you have specific runtime requirements? Some people have limited RAM (e.g. I only have 32KB of RAM), some limited CPU, some limited FLASH, etc. How many models do you need? Are there proper words or brand/made up names? Is it English? How much engineering support do you need?

In reality, it is a lengthy decision tree. I do not want to put that here or on the company's website as it will just maximize the confusion. But it makes sense to put the common easy cases and then ask for contact in the rest. Which is probably the path we take as it will save us some time.

That being said I challenge you to find a company who offers similar tech and have pricing on their website. I suspect what I mentioned is the reason. I could be wrong.
The cartridges are sold on the shelf right next to the printers! People can easily see how much they cost. And there is an ISO standard for calculating page counts: https://www.lexmark.com/common/images/iso-page-yields/unders.... Yes, that's not the coverage for eye-catching sample prints on the box, but you also won't achieve the EPA-estimated gas mileage driving the way they show in car commercials.

I have a different theory--power users want to have their cake and eat it too. People who print a lot lose under this model, because it shifts costs from light users to heavy users. From their perspective, it would be better to have expensive printers and cheap ink. (The same is true for price discrimination generally. Apple's pricing practices are good for people who can get away with a 32GB iPhone, bad for people who need a 256GB one.) Or, they're simply ignorant of the economics, and think that printer companies could offer unrestricted printers for the same price by cutting into their fat, fat profit margins.
It's a putative mechanism not a fully explored one.
But authorities closed down my human breeding lab.
They say they're removing three things:

- the built-in feed preview feature

- the "live bookmarks" support

- the subscription UI

They give justifications for removing the first two, but not the third.

Assuming by "subscription UI" they mean the support for following a link to an RSS feed and being given the option to send the URL to my preferred online feed reader, I think that's a great shame.

Making it worse, that article says "that improved replacements for those features are available via add-ons", with a link to what they say is a curated collection of readers, but none of the add-ons in that collection seem to replace the old subscription UI.
They announced it months ago, in July: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/mozilla-to-re...

That's plainly sad.

Next thing is websites will start removing rss, which means it will be harder for me to scrape them.
tls.ulfheim.net - "This site is blocked due to a security threat."

ulfheim.net - no problem

At least according to my megacorp threat filter. I have never actually seen something blocked before, and it's a shame because the page would be great to share with my team.
Oh, Good question. Technically we will be institutional, but not by the traditional definition that implies a series A, B, C, etc. then an IPO or large liquidity event. With a valuation north of $100M, etc. The typical "Unicorn" play where 1 startup returns 100x the fund so all companies backed need to have that potential.

TinySeed will be able to back companies with smaller aspirations, but that are much more likely to succeed, and don't aspire to get on the funding treadmill of raising every 18 months.
From what I understand, it is a camera, so as long as you can record data fast enough. I didn't read any limitation of the current setup across time (there is one across space though). So far, it is only 25 frames captured, it is fundamental research, not yet a product people can get value of.

Note that what we want to observe with those cams are very short, transient phenomenons. When I was doing my internship at a particle accelerator called GANIL, we were only recording 0.5 second, which already represented close to 1TB worth of raw data. It takes months to interpret and analyze results.

EDIT: typo
Why would you hack someone and then tell them you did it (without asking for ransom or something)? Of course the person telling you has good intentions.
Google deleted most of the logs that could have contained any evidence. Would you feel the same way if Google employees manually deleted the logs after discovering the breach?
This seems really interesting. I was a part of several funded companies and the push for non-sustainable growth frequently contributed to a culture of lies, egos and unrealistic expectations. I'm working for a non-profit right now that has stable finances and it's an amazing difference.

Yet, I like the idea of building for-profit products too; just with sustainable and real growth. I've been kicking around an idea in the credit card space that could make for a nice revenue stream, but will never be the next Unicorn.
"These companies have headquartered themselves in Ireland"

According to Twitter's most recent 10-Q, filed with the SEC:

- The company is registered in Delaware

- The principal place of business is on California

If the parent company is registered in Delaware, and its stated principal place of business is Market Street, how can it be headquartered in Ireland for corporation tax purposes?

> Both sides see themselves as the rightful Chinese government

Tricky subject here. The statement might sound true but has very very different sentiments on both sides.

For the Chinese gov., Taiwan is a province of China, "the rightful Chinese government" extends its jurisdiction over all Chinese territories, including Taiwan.
However, from Taiwan's perspective, Taiwan and mainland China have two different governments (the stress is on "Taiwan is not part of China", not there is only one rightful Chinese gov,). In fact, if you ask anyone in Taiwan today, they are more likely to refer to the island as Taiwan (instead of "Republic of China") and themselves Taiwanese.

No one likes to see features removed from something. But this seems really reasonable given alternatives and current usage. Tough decisions like this are the way you end up with a great product. It's what you say no to, rather than what you say yes to, that lead to great products.

Another favorite quote: "If it doesn't hurt, it isn't a strategic decision." I'm betting this hurt (though a brief search through the FF mailing lists didn't turn up anything), but it seems like a good strategic decision.
very very cool! thanks for the pointer.
I've noticed food courts in American malls seem to have a similar setup. I remember ordering "bourbon chicken" at a Cajun-style restaurant in a food court and realizing it tasted suspiciously similar to the Teriyaki chicken served at the Japanese stall next door.
You are applying a lens of what you think should happen to a question of what is currently happening. Sure, I actually do agree with you about ad tracking, but if the question is why ads with tracking data are more valuable, then my answer is a statement of what advertisers are willing to buy, which is not what I think the advertising industry should be doing.

> Want to advertise your movie to movie fans? Put ads on a movie fan web site. Want to attract car buyers in Bedrock City? Put your ads on a Bedrock City web site. Want to increase sales of Slurm Cola to American man 18-25? Put Slurm Cola ads on content of interest to American males 18-25.

And then some company decides that there is an arbitrage opportunity in inferring who the 18-25 year old males are and selling you the ability to target them on cheaper websites and on undifferentiated inventory. In order to get access to that inventory, publishers are paid part of the difference. Voila, programmatic advertising.

> This is not unique to online advertising. It's possible to tell is ads are working in paper/radio/television, as well. Companies have been doing it for literally hundreds of years.

That's not true. That's certainly not what pretty much any big brand marketing department thinks. It's notoriously hard to tell whether any specific strategy is working if you do a lot of advertising. Which is why the extra granularity is considered valuable, regardless of their ability to infer conclusions from it.

> The benefits of online ad targeting have been perverted from a nice add-on to something that is absolutely necessary because it helps fuel the paychecks of the advertising middlemen.

That's certainly a factor, but they're not all idiots. Some of it actually does work in theory and in principle, and dismissing that is underestimating the beast you are fighting.
Making it artificially harder to push out an update doesn't sound like much of a good idea, if that is what you are suggesting.
"We know they're doing it, and by continuing to use the service we are consenting" This is a very narrow notion of consent. Sounds very libertarian.
Actual "serverless" webrtc. It's very unfortunate that faas products use that misnomer.
If Supermicro boards are bug-ridden, then I'd expect other manufacturer's boards to be equally bad or worse. I don't have a reason to defend Supermicro or some such, but where else in retail do you get specialized server boards like Supermicro sells? When Opteron was relatively new in 2004, I bought a two-socket board from Supermicro as the alternatives from well-known Taiwan manufacturers (ASUS, MSI, etc.) weren't as sophisticated (hadn't the PSUs and PSU connectors, power ratings, and rack-mount/tower convertible enclosures).
> I'm sure many companies go through those 100 pages and throw out 50 as "wontfix."

I agree in principle, but it's not always that simple. Outside of the obvious "don't make your S3 buckets public", it's usually a combination of priority, cost, and compatibility. Years ago I ran a network inside the firewall of <Insert large company here>. They did constant vulnerability testing, and I had monthly meetings explaining what I was doing to mitigate all of the vulnerabilities that came up. Mitigation for some vulnerabilities meant rewriting decades old programs to run on a new OS/platform so we would harden around it the best we could while the work was done.
Well what term are you using for a repair? If your using parts that are not under warranties nor is it the same as it was when it was manufactured?

When I buy parts off of ebay I don't expect them to be the same, no matter what the label is on the part. Just like buying "OEM" batteries on Amazon. You better know you have close to zero chance of having the same battery as you bought before.
I would love to see Picovocie on ESP32. We've looked into this as we get many requests for Picovoice on ESP32. The challenge is to find a commercial request at a reasonable scale to cover the porting effort. I suspect it should be less than a month of work on our side.
Hey, I'm not against recreational activities, everyone needs them to stay sane. It becomes different when an accidental bitcoin millionaire decides to put real money behind a meaningless task to watch someone else dance. At that point it stops being recreational for the problem solver, but rather a form of work.

Cogently dismissing other pursuits is an incredibly effective form of recruitment, so there's nothing inherently academic about it.

Latin American Exchange Buda.com Adds Lightning Network Payments for All
As many of you already know, the main feature of the Lightning Network is that, in addition to being a way to pay Bitcoins with very low fees and practically infinite scalability, it is built as a layer on top of the Bitcoin Blockchain, so it’s still a decentralized protocol where one doesn’t need to trust any intermediaries.

The Lightning wallets that are being developed in the world have a strong focus on decentralization, and that’s very good news. As what is sought is that the user does not depend on anyone, these applications generally include a lightning node and a sometimes even a bitcoin node, which allows monitoring transactions on their own. The problem is that this keeps some users out, as installation, configuration and usage, is still a bit difficult for many.

At Buda.com we are also convinced that the future is going towards total decentralization, but we also know that along the way we will need centralized services that allow less technical users (or with less time!) to try and use this technology. This will surely allow the ecosystem of crypto payments to keep growing while more decentralized solutions mature. As long as the base protocol is decentralized, competition in the long run will move intermediaries out of the way.

Therefore, after much effort, we are very happy to tell you that from today we are giving the possibility to any Buda.com user to pay in Bitcoins using Lightning Network without having any technical knowledge at all. All accounts now have a simple way to pay with Lightning and payments will be deducted directly from their Bitcoin balance in the exchange.

For those who do have a more technical knowledge and want to try on their own, we invite them to connect directly to our Lightning node or to build something by reviewing the documentation of our API.
For a company worth $1B before the announcement, Apple paid $300M for 16% of their Staff and IP, and $300M for future order. For Dialog that is a much better deal than selling all of itself when Apple has not use for the other 80%.
Alright thanks for the explanation. Are you focused on USA ?

I'm sort of with you with housing and education but where I'm in violent disagreement is health. Some are born with a terrible hand and there's little that they can do, on their own, to resolve those issues. It's unacceptable to lose everything for health treatments. People have options with school and housing. People can put forth effort to improve their situation. With health, you can't just get up and move somewhere else to be healthy.
