I dont think its surprising, that people are involved in scams when it comes to advertisement.

We know possible targets try to scam the system, this article shows so. We know, that certain parts of advertisements are trying to sell stuff to people they dont need. As naive as it sounds, most advertisement isnt there to inform us of stuff we dont know of and would want to buy if we knew. And if you pay people to make other people act against their own interests, it is not unreasonable, that they would do the same to the people hiring them. And not just the same, but alot more. I think its only reasonable to assume, that professional scammers would not just try to scam the people, they are payed to scam, but also the people who pay them in the first place, who offer a much larger payout.

Why wouldnt advertising agencies not put alot more effort in convincing potential customers of their own, that they need their advertisement, then trying to influence the potential customers of their customers on the abstract level of brand awareness.

If brand awareness is not a matter of ROI but bullshit and just a matter of triggering interpersonal marketing mechanisms. "Your competition is spending this amount on" brand awareness and all the other true and tested mechanisms. Marketing your advertisement services to companies for brand awareness sounds like just another sales gig. And one where the methods are true and tested. Be it selling used cars or selling you your appearal as your image or selling the concept of creating a brand throguh digital ads.

Lobbying works for a reason in politics. My question was, if there is a reason to not assume the same for online banner marketing for brand awareness.

Thank you for your keywords, i will look them up.
You seem to be arguing (across multiple comments) that you gave up nothing that would put your product or users at risk though you have no evidence of that. In fact, just the fact that you gave them what they wanted means that it had some impact greater than nothing and it certainly wouldn't be for the positive towards your users or the product. Why did they want it in the first place then?
The XLA:TPU compiler is not open source, so it's anyone's guess (unless you work at Google), but my understanding is that it does NOT use LLVM under the hood.
You're absolutely right...I forgot the time diff as I wrote the story and some is just plain fuzzy after all this time. I spent hours on the phone with them that night and I was giving them guidance by memory since I was so familiar with the code. Somewhere in the course of that they ventured to ask for he source.
And when you get used to your carefully curated crutches and have to work on someone else's machine, that's where the fun starts.

that really depends on the state.

I am a felon and I live in Washington State, it really doesn't effect me much at all. When I lived in California, same thing, it never came up and didn't seem to matter. Texas on the other hand really works hard to keep you down once youve made a mistake... it was hard to find work, housing, etc.
You can get a long way with a static site generator (hugo, jekyll, etc) and SASS (and optionally a minimal framework like inuit.css which mainly deals with keeping your padding/margins/line-heights consistent).

"It's open source" isn't the full story. Something can be open source and also used in a harmful way. You're right that gRPC-Web alone isn't a huge issue, but it's part of a larger trend of Google wanting to Google-fy the web, technology, or even society as a whole (see the leaked Selfish Ledger and Good Censor presentations).

Specifically in the case of gRPC-Web, even though "it's open source", does every gRPC service exposed on the web provide a .proto file for you to build your own client? If not, that's a big step down in terms of power given to end-users compared to REST.

If you’re on Mac OS X , try installing the “trash” app (from brew iirc) and retrain yourself to never use bare rm anymore. There’s probably similar tools on Linuxes.

Tesla currently has 400 supercharger sites in Europe, by 2020 Ionity, which is a consortium of Daimler, BMW, Porsche, Ford, Audi and VW, is planning to build 400 sites, with 6 bays each, most with a 350kW charging capacity.
From the asm you posted I have no idea whether it's optimized or not; it looks like two virtual function calls (calll %eax). Also, while I'm sure Julia is nice, the GC makes me worry about whether it'll work well in real-time audio synthesis (my primary use case).
I’ve seen a ton of them in suburban Philadelphia (Main Line). I travel to SF frequently and have spent a lot of time in Palo Alto. Model 3’s are at least as common on the roads here in suburban Philly as the Model S was in downtown Palo Alto a year or so ago. I know Tesla’s strategy was to ship close to HQ first and then expand elsewhere. Seeing this many here makes me think they are hitting their stride in a big way.

> You should have come to me for help, like I advised you. Nevertheless, lets look at how you can solve your problem now

So in the end you _still_ have to deal with the mess they made? And you further enable their behaviour by both making it your problem to solve and fixing it?

This approach only works if the other person is interested in improving - and if they were, they would ask for help in the first place.
Seeing that you can still download “the last compatible version” of apps with a first generation iPad running iOS 5, I seriously doubt that’s the reason.

Unless you believe they use s separate DRM scheme to download apps on iOS 5 than iOS 12.
That seems like a fire hazard.
Not only am i still running on a 2012 Air because of Apple's seemingly conscious middle finger to developers, but i refuse to purchase any >= 2016 laptops for my company. We have made roughly $30,000 in laptop purchases in the last 24 months. All have been aftermarket '14 and '15 MBP's with loaded ram and replaced batteries. This isn't what i want to do, but i refuse to service keyboard and heating issues on a regular basis.

But i get it. Anything that doesn't run iOS amounts to quarterly revenue rounding errors. But until i can develop iOS apps ON iOS (shiver), their laptops remain a prerequisite to the app store's viability. I have to imagine this current path will come to back to bite them in some measurable way aside from the financials mentioned above.

PipelineDB co-founder here--I think this is a pretty fair take! I would also like to point out that the aggregate data stored in PipelineDB can still be further aggregated, processed, JOINed on etc. on demand as well.

Since a continuous view's output is simply stored as a regular table, you are free to run arbitrary SELECT queries on it to further distill and filter your results. PipelineDB's special combine [0] aggregate allows you to combine aggregate values with no loss of information for this very purpose.

The most common pattern among our user base is to aggregate time-series data into continuous views at some base level of granularity (e.g. by minute) and then aggregate over that for final results (e.g. aggregate down to hour-level rows for the date range my frontend has selected).

Many companies are "all-in on the web" but aren't in the same position as Google. Look at the recent Chrome profile / Google account auto-login issue. Isn't that an example of Google exercising "control" over how its users interact with the web?

If Google is effectively a monopoly, does it matter if you could theoretically replace all of its offerings? Think about other monopolies in history, I'm sure they had "replacements" too.

Indeed.

50K records in a single request is a highly abnormal situation, and we're still talking about only shaving 125ms off of the sum total time of that request. In most apps where something that crazy is happening, this is not a problem, as it's clearly in async batch territory.

In a realistic architecture where you need request/response, there's going to be a lot of network calls and database calls. In my experience, it's those DB calls where the largest opportunity to optimize is. The other opportunity is removing N+1 request patterns. A lot of these "Proto is faster than JSON" benchmarks are showing a throughput bottlenecked app, when most apps that need a fast response are concerned with latency, and serialization is often only a few percent of that.

I didn't read a long term bet against a face-based device. He focuses on facebook's value as an app-based stimulant, and how VR occupies a completely different (and possibly limited) niche. In fact, Stratechery claims that AR is more promising, and that Apple is well-poised to create a face-based device. His main point is: unless the face-based device joins us in our every day activities like the smartphone, it's not going to be directly useful to facebook.
There's a whole lot more noise isolation than no cubicles at all. This greatly varies depending on the cubicles.

The cubicles at the feynman computing center in fermilab were practically reconfigurable offices with dividers nearly reaching to the ceiling.

There are certainly bad cubicles which serve almost no purpose at all. I think what you'll find is it's mostly just a regression over time from private offices to open floor plans. Throughout the middle ground it starts out with office-like cubicles, and towards the open plan end of the time window they have low, thin walls before completely vanishing.

In my opinion it's mostly cost-driven. Companies are trying to increase the worker density, especially in areas like silicon valley where ft^2 is at a premium.

They're just using "improved collaboration" as a consolation prize without admitting "we simply can't afford to give you all reasonable isolation anymore, and there's so many of you engineers on the market you no longer all have leverage to demand it"

Frankly, the talented folks easily get sufficient leverage to work from home or wherever they want anyways. So it's not really all that big of a deal, unless you're stuck in the office because you lack the leverage to escape.

The intelligence services are really clever in getting the information they need. Often, just like with other forms of security holes, they just need to be clever exactly once, and that might lead to months or years of intelligence.

I also think of intelligence agencies are a little like magicians in how readily they will exploit someone's trust in reality.

Cathay Pacific flags data breach affecting 9.4M passengers
For backed up data to carry a piece of malware, they'd have to exploit a zero-day bug in iOS or in the associated app. That's possible in theory, but those have been rare, and once iOS or the app gets fixed, the exploit in the data is neutralized.

Looking at a list of known iOS malware [1] I don't offhand see any tools that manage to install themselves through exploits in non-jailbroken iOS or exploits normal App Store apps.

The closest thing I saw was an injection of malware into a pirated version of the Xcode developer tools, causing all apps compiled with that version to be infected. Those apps were then spread through a third-party app store--so again only loaded onto jailbroken iPhones.

Perhaps the scariest thing is something like Wirelurker[2] that spreads over USB connections and can spread from iPhones to Macs and back to other iPhones. People don't plug into other Macs very much, but if this were modified to affect CarPlay, it could spread from iPhone to rental car to iPhone, to iPhone, to iPhone...

> I'm really skeptical that there is anything “after the roomba”. Or, to be more specific, I'm skeptical that technology used in the home will look anything like a robot, a self-contained intelligent machine that moves around and cleans/folds laundry/does dishes.

I think your right there. Personally I don't even have room for a humanoid robot, it'd be getting in my way constantly.

What I would like to see is something more along the lines of a series of those programmable industrial robotic arms extending from my ceiling. That's something that could fetch me a beer from the fridge, take my empty plate to the sink and move my dirty clothes to the laundry, all without getting in my way. That would be a good base to start expanding functionality on.
Google is externalizing a lot of tools used internally for years. Use them or don't, it's your choice, but lots of time and effort has gone into making them work well so there's value there being made available for free.

To your point about .proto files for public endpoints: does every JSON HTTP endpoint exposed to the web provide documentation for you to build your own client? (of course not)

Wouldn’t it be easier just not to upgrade older phones and not allow phones running older OS’s to download the last compatible version of an app?

Around the time of iOS 7, Apple started letting older versions of iOS download older version of apps that were compatible. Even today you can take a first gen iPad running iOS 5 and download apps that have since been upgraded but where there is an older version available.

I reset my old iPad 1 about two years ago and redownloaded Netflix, Hulu, Spotify etc. They all still work.

The best situation would be if Ionity and Tesla can agree to merge, or share standards so everyone can charge at all of them. But I imagine Tesla will not be interested until Ionity has parity, or nearly so, with them.

Sadly (as DO explained, perhaps after you posted), no.
This doesn't prevent the other end from being surveilled, if indeed the signal is being intercepted. Similarly, keeping his phone malware free doesn't solve the problem of his friends' phones getting compromised. So without both ends on a secure line there is no real good way to secure things. Those listening in, as suggested by the paper, do not necessarily need to intercept every call. Sure they would love to listen in on every call, but it is not necessary if they just want to get a better model of how he thinks.

From my personal experience and observation, a large amount of employers that say that they can't fill their open positions, skilled or unskilled, have unrealistically high standards. They would rather leave a position unfilled than risk making a bad hiring decision. To give them a benefit of doubt, they might have more to loose from a bad hire than a successful one.

Of course, I don't have any direct experience with the few companies that are famous for pushing the boundaries of the H-1B visa.

PipelineDB = Insert data with time component to be aggregated on the fly into always up-to-date summary tables using a variety of aggregation functions. Raw data is not persisted.

TimescaleDB = Store data with time component into "hypertable" that is automatically partitioned by time, for faster queries when limited by time range. Single node and has helper methods to make time based bucketing and aggregation easier.

Citus = Store data in distributed tables automatically partitioned and spread across multiple nodes, by any single column. Join across nodes with non-distributed tables.

Can definitely use PipelineDB for real-time summaries and TimescaleDB or Citus for raw long-term storage in the same database.

Side note: It would be nice if Postgres had package manager for extensions.
The most annoying thing about exponential discounting is that even when you know you're doing it, and you can see what's happening, it's still really hard to fight it.

And you're right, it works both ways - I think the primary driving factor for me when I procrastinate is that an annoying thing feels like it'll be much more annoying to do now than it will in an hour or a week, so I put it off. Which is why I'm writing this post right now, instead of finishing an email, instead of doing another email, instead of bringing my accounts up to date, instead of doing my taxes...

(This also works with things like long term social planning - my wife's forever signing us up for things weeks in advance, and if asked if I want to go to a party in six weeks' time I'll usually say 'sure, sounds fun' even though if you asked me if I wanted to go to the exact same party tomorrow I'd say 'not really'. Then I end up cursing myself for agreeing to all these engagements.)

They're not controlling anything by releasing open-source libraries/languages such as gRPC, Kubernetes and Go. Releasing these things don't give them control over anything that can negatively impact users; this is not Microsoft's embrace-and-extend.

Chrome, on the other hand, is worth worrying about. Unlike the other technologies you mention, it's a consumer application that legitimately lets Google apply Microsoft-style embrace-and-extend tactics, monopolizing the web and steering it in a direction that benefits Google more than anything (e.g. ads and tracking).

Kubernetes may have come out of Google, but it isn't even in their control anymore. If anything, Kubernetes is a strategic play to democratize cloud orchestration, undermining competitors such as AWS.
