The fon't is so large, how could it be bad advice?

And look at how short that domain name is! AND IT ENDS IN IO WOW, the owner must be really important! And that logo, I mean come on - that was probably designed by 400 italian shoemakers 300 years ago waiting for the right technology to come around to stamp it on.

Sorry I just can't take your well reasoned arguments on a web page that has this large red banner and multiple bullet points. This was probably put up by just some guy right?
LIGO is what is called a "Michelson Interferometer" because the same interfereometer was used in the Michelson-Morely experiment. However where Michelson and Morley were rotating their interferometer with fixed-length arms and monitoring the interference pattern to detect the orientation of the luminiferous ether, LIGO is using shifts in the relative distance of the arms to detect changes in the "size" of space due to gravitational waves. The speed of light doesn't vary, but rather my understanding is that the entire distance metric perpendicular to the wavefront compresses and expands. So light moves at the same rate through this compressed and then expanded space, but if you assume that the distance metric is constant then light will appear to speed up or slow down.

That's true, but it feels different than owning the only telecommunications cable going into homes. I would actually classify wired and wireless internet providers as utilities since the capital costs are so enormous it's impossible for a new supplier to enter the market, but that may apply to Google too.
> "Just use our 2FA." What about smaller websites that don't have resources to maintain 2FA?

I'm not going to say that providing 2FA is "free" in the time sense (both in implementing it initially and supporting people who lock themselves out) but on the surface 2FA requires just a library to verify 2FA codes and a column in your users table to store the shared secret.
Agreed.... The console is one of the better parts of the overall tool.
Flexibits | Mac/iOS and Frontend/Backend Software Engineer | Remote | Full-time

Flexibits creates popular productivity apps for Mac and iOS. We make Fantastical, an award-winning calendar app for Mac and iOS, and Cardhop, a contacts app for Mac.

We are a small, fully-remote company spread across the US and Europe, and welcome anyone from around the world.

- Mac/iOS engineer

You'll be adding new features to Fantastical and Cardhop, as well as hunting for bugs and helping to keep everything running smoothly for our users. Areas you'll be working on include UI/UX development, databases, networking (including CalDAV, Exchange Web Services, and other APIs), and more – across macOS, iOS, and watchOS.

- Web backend/frontend engineer

This is not a purely frontend or backend role. Think of it as a roughly 60/20/20 split between backend/frontend/ops. You'll be helping us build the server and web infrastructure for a future Flexibits product as well as helping ensure that CI/CD and deployments work smoothly on GCP and Kubernetes. This involves being flexible and willing to learn about different technologies with the aim of building something great for our users.

Is this satire?
Gab (and Voat, and, er, Hatreon) were open attempts to create far-right versions of existing websites. I don't think they're good examples of the inevitability of hatred.

I'd hazard a guess that many more people are angry about hate speech on Reddit than about hate speech over email. The difference is that one is a company and the other is a federated standard. If I've understood Tim Berners-Lee correctly, he wants to replace Twitter with a million Mastodon instances rather than a hundred different versions of "Twitter, but for the far-right/far-left/radical-centrists".
I don't know why you insist on a choice being "hard". What matters is the outcome. Taking billions of dollars out of foreign FF stocks has a good outcome for the environment and leads the way for even more to be taken out. The economy is unaffected. Government gets their petrorevenues to spend on reducing the country's emissions.

Stopping drilling just means another producer fills the void, and the Norwegian economy suffers as a result. People rightfully react to that and often elect someone on the other end of the political spectrum. Not only do other producers have less env. regulation, but the backlash from the Norwegian populace could elect a government within Norway who slashes this regulation and restarts production. History is replete with reactionary governments, especially when the Overton window is shifted too fast.

My point is, keep diversifying the economy, keep diversifying energy sources. Just because drilling continues does not mean alternative energy is slowing down. Take it slow, else you risk backlash.
No buying companies once you're above a certain size.
Coops, communes, nonprofits, open source projects... lots of attempts to develop a sustainable micro economy. Build up from there.

Citation needed. In my experience this has not been the case, but I was on national forest land, not BLM land, so there may be a difference in management practices.

That's not at all what my post said, you are attacking a strawman.

@Onethumb: I have ~150k photos on Flickr and a 10 year paid account but I stopped using it ~1.5 years ago when I got sick of their video upload timestamp issues. I have not checked recently if fixed.

When I upload photos, Flickr looks at the taken date of the photo and sorts them that way. When I upload videos from the computer (using the upload tool), Flickr does NOT look at the metadata to set the taken date. Instead, then taken date is set to the current date meaning the videos are out of order of the photos.
Celery execution pools: What is it all about?
Trying to do business with desktop software proves otherwise regarding contributions.
If I remember correctly, Flickr used to hide free user's over 200 photos and they'll show up one upgraded to pro. But now they'll delete exceeded photos.

I wish the iPad had a useful OS rather than just a magnified iPhone. It should be the apple equivalent of the surface.
And backend engineers not researching how to properly implement them and completely missing the point, yet arguing and blaming front end devs for being "useless". /sarcasm

On a serious note:
JWTs have use cases, but your company is probably not the one. Nice thing about JWT is that there is no need to query the DB every time a request hits a service. JWTs for session should be short lived and refreshed often. In case you need to invalidate it, you invalidate refresh token and window for attack becomes short. It's not perfect but it's certainly not useless and just the hype.
I have never understood why employees accept the restrictive clauses which assign ownership for any side projects to the employer. I am not a lawyer, but this has always struck me as amounting to a type of serfdom. If you are seen as a 24/7 unit of the company, and anything at all that you creatively produce can be claimed by the company, then your working capacity and creative capacity is essentially owned entirely by the company while you are employed there. You are not being paid just for your time and the work product you produce during that time. Rather you are literally selling an aspect of yourself. Does that sound reasonable at all? (of course, California has some protections against this. but that's just one state)

I would really like to see people rallying against many more things like this.

Pretty much every climate scientist disagrees with you. We can't avoid severe effects, but we can still choose between expensive horrible disasters, and the end of modern civilization. Lowering our carbon emissions by a large amount is the main way to do that.

Doing nothing but solar radiation management has serious downsides: it does nothing for ocean acidification, and if you ever stop pumping out that sulfur dioxide or whatever, all that pent-up warming hits you at once. I see it as a temporary emergency measure, to head off heat-driven feedback effects.
Thanks!

I've looked at nextcloud, but IIRC, you have to have the whole suite installed, right? I'd love a way to just use the calendar function.
When you look at the comments on Reddit, you can see that unfortunately it does not make sense for many people who put free as their first priority, versus privacy/sustainability/data concerns.
Very brave for Flickr to make this move and face all those critics, even if this is for the best on the long term.
You can go astray without really becoming a crank. A true crank that can't let the crankery go develops delusions of persecution and conspiracy to keep the truth out.

Going astray may be as simple as not being able to provide the necessary clarity, the clear road map that leads from what is familiar, to those in the field, to the novel thing you are proposing.

I am talking of course of heavily mathematical fields. Not going to comment on the murkier situation outside of that.

I get that, but apparently they weren’t hitting that limit anyway. So is this a purely psychological tactic? That’s fascinating...kind of leveraging the psychology of an “unlimited” cellular plan but in reverse.
Sorry if I don't agree that giving Google a throwaway email address is a significant concession of personal information. Which free services do you recommend that do things better?
I use both: Python/Pandas for working with production code and pipelining TensorFlow/Keras code, and R/tidyverse/ggplot2 for ad hoc data reports and visualizations. They both have their advantages and disadvantages and it doesn't hurt to know both workflows.

It was probably posted before the rush hour and reached the front page with only a couple of upvotes.
My story and your story aren't mutually exclusive. You are correct that often locals can be the problem. I don't want to give the impression that they are always right or always know better, but at the same time, I think it's worth acknowledging a certain amount of wisdom from them regarding certain subjects. I probably could have chosen my words to that effect more carefully. That's why I gave that particular example about the forest fire as a result of not listening to locals.

There has to be some middle ground between the two, some meeting place, (usually the best done with education programs for the locals), but most of the time, neither side in this debate is completely right or completely wrong. I don't know anything about oceans or bays so I'll just say I do see that type in the forest as well, the "nothing the scientists ever do is right" type, but that's not who I am defending or talking about in this case.
Thank you so much for being a customer! I would love to help track this down and fix it, especially since I'm writing the new photo & video services. :) I will add this to my list.

>Bots will be able to function just as easily. If anything one would expect reduced scale would increase the difficulty of handling a very large scale adversary like a state actor. It would only seem to disadvantage smaller players.

FAANG companies are incredibly bad at detecting bots. It’s not how they make money so they don’t invest much in it.

There are companies that specialize in this that are used _everywhere_ behind the scenes and are growing quickly.

You’re not going to see that kind of development in house. You’ll see a new market for protection which actually already exists.
