For dns blocks, DNS over HTTPS should work Firefox supports it, or you could run a local DNS resolver, or use host file for domains that you use and are blocked.

Also I am not even sure it is possible to intercept any traffic over VPN without having the keys, so not sure why tunneling over VPN is a problem , DPI and MITM techniques are not even used by the Chinese government for the most part and people can generally VPN out if they want to.

Thanks for the feedback. You are right. I added some text about that and mentioned you at the bottom.

C++ implementations seem to store the capacity in the string object instead of the next to the referenced memory as I described in the article. Do you know why?
I still maintain that not picking Chicago would be a major mistake. I only think this because I want to see them take over most of the Sears Tower and convert it into a delivery drone launch site. A) How bonkers-cool would that look? B) Ideal test site for large scale drone delivery. Less drone power drain, since they would essentially be performing a controlled descent instead of a liftoff and descent. Asymmetric flight paths, like with the drone return around the 2nd-3rd floor, would allow more rapid launches. Grid street layout that makes actual sense, so easier on the AI/ML. Center of the country (ish), so longer distance delivery with solar powered drones might be viable.

Okay, I'll admit it. I just REALLY want to see streams of flying killbots emanating from my home town. The Robot Uprising is coming, people, and I'm hoping early allegiance leads to a nicer brain vat in their biocomputer.

Seriously, though, I would have thought Atlanta, Chicago, and Boston, in that order, would be better. Bi-coastal or geographic center make logistical sense. ATL and BOS have excellent tech resources, but maybe a bit too much competition for talent in BOS. ATL gives a presence in "The South", so could serve as a political/cultural foothold without any major compromises. ATL proved it can easily support a tech boom during the y2k bubble. BOS serves as a great gateway to Europe. CHI is really hungering for more tech influence and would probably bend over backwards to be accommodating. Plus, the most likely site in CHI is actually a great location for anyone that likes an urban setting, not just millennials. Amazon is one of the few tech companies that I think CHI could embrace because it has a strong influence on financial markets and doesn't feel as 'magical' as many tech companies (where it's hard for everyday people to understand what they do). And Chicagoans can be fiercely loyal, even to companies. Case in point - The Sears Tower. The only time you hear "Willis Tower" is on the news. And there are a couple dozen other cases of locals refusing to rebrand stuff simply because ownership or naming rights changed.

Being by DC isn't a BAD location, but it seems like it would be better to have a strong satellite location that can be expanded as needed. I would assume the atmosphere there is more restricted for some of their more ambitious projects involving lots of sensors and physical presence. Every location will have red tape, but it seems like there DC would be ordering it in bulk.

I dunno, just rambling.
So, how many times do you think earths' ecosystem can lose 70% of it's insect biomass before it collapses completely?

Consider the two years a 'final notice period' in which we actually can change the course of the cruiser. Until we start facing the dire consequences a bit more time might pass, but it will have been to late for a long time.

It's only a matter of time until the results of our predatory overcultivation catch up with us. Do you sincerely doubt that? How much more punishment can our habitat suffer before in finally collapses?

Soft skills matter in more than just the workplace as everything we do requires communication. In short, people love talking. The more you talk, the less they talk and so the less they like you.

Avoiding personal pronouns is good practice as, even when discussing yourself, it creates conversation rather than a lecture. People also appreciate it when you forgo unnecessary adverbs that extend the time you speak without conveying more information.

Essentially, "I think you did a really great job!" vs "You did a great job!"
16 years ago, I went to community college, transfered to a 4 year, worked internships, graduated without debt, landed a job at Big Tech Co due to my internship experience.

I never took the SAT.

Now days? Possibly more important, depends on the major. I'd say for a lot of software roles, practical experience counts more than school. I've managed teams where I hired based on experience and personal drive, another manager hired based on university credentials. I had much better luck, my team easily out performed other teams that were better credentialed.

Not to say the better universities don't do a better job at teaching. The fresh out of CMU grad who wrote a huge chunk of our OS, and who right after went to Google to work on their OS team, is a great example of the top students from the top universities being better.

But I'll pit an average student from a top university against a "driven to succeed" student from any other schooling program.

That said the one bootcamp grad (on another team) was super motivated, wrote code fast, got us shipping, but wow that code had to be replaced ASAP. :D

Best dev I had was fresh out of school, maintained multiple community software projects outside of work, and learned something new about his profession every day.
> but I still would appreciate the choice to be able to manually install only the apps that I would use, e.g. Firefox instead of Chrome.

I have a Xiaomi Mi A1 with Firefox and no Chrome anywhere. I flashed LineageOS with the Open GApps nano package (which does not include anything you can also get from the play store, like Chrome) and don't even know what the stock experience is like. So far I didn't experience any major problems running a non-stock ROM.

The thing about sales is that at a certain level of client, the clients want to speak to executives, not salespeople.

The Internet. The need hasn't increased just there is longer have any friction for setting them up or joining/participating. Also no geography restrictions to participate.

In meatspace if you want to set up a support group you'd have to rent a space, then participants would have to physically drive there, and your hours would have to coincide with theirs. It's not really fesible for many support groups to form in this environment, especially outside major metros.

With the rise of the Internet, you don't have those restrictions, thus people can reach each other, so they do more reaching out to each other.

Possibly internet support has taken the place of friends and family support though.

Every single binary that works on Ubuntu will work without modification on Pop!_OS.

That is not true for Debian. Some packages (like the .deb file for Chrome or VSCode) should work on any distribution that supports dpkg, but there are many packages that break compatibility between Ubuntu and Debian. Thus Ubuntu isn't just a customized Debian; it's a customization that creates a distinct operating system.
> A cursory glance shows the Pixel 3's camera the best of the bunch, sometimes by far.

I am surprised that you drew that conslusion from the review. I got the impression that iPhone and Samsung flagships consistently beat the Pixel 3 in daylight and normal light shots. They just have better hardware. He stated multiple times that iPhone is a better representation of the actual scene. However the night mode is obviously best in class (given nothing in the frame is moving).

The organic farming regulations are professionally developed for decades, globally. US labeling options and regulations are officially defined [1,2] Very small scale producers like the farmer in this thread have some leeway - this is a feature of your national regulatory framework suiting small local markets, it is relevant to a tiny fraction of traded organic produce.

> Who decides which pesticides are okay, what is the criterion that everyone can agree on?

You know in this age of IT you can find answers to your questions. [3]

> Why are there differences across countries, if there is a proper definition of it?

Because it is a developed practical system, its not defined by dictionary definition - it is very complicated. Why are there differences across countries in safety regulations? How well is the term "safety" internationally defined ? Where did you get the idea that dictionary definition of "organic farming" should be able to completely explain the practice. What other well defined terms do that ?? Renewables, Genetic Engineering, Nuclear, Carbon reduction?

I think this involves unwillingness to observe context and make sense of terms, for the sake of the sort of argument which is fun for supporting sport teams.

And this is the way cities used to work, pre-automobile. Our post war sprawl is a huge cultural experiment, and there are a lot of people who think it is not sustainable.
Yeah that's pretty much it, for me at least. I'd consider myself very technically inclined (replaced screens on my iPhone 5's, build dozens of PCs...), but as I've learned from experience I'd rather just pay slightly more and expect it to work for my personal stuff.

I guess one can view it as buying the cheapest new car with a long warranty versus a reliable as-is used car just so I never have to worry about it not working.

Amazing the amount of people here who takes this as some kind of truth instead of just a story that could have even been leaked for another purpose (perhaps even to gain more leverage with the area that they actually want to go to).

This is also the epitome of infotainment something that in the end won't even matter unless it actually happens other than to discuss the 'inside baseball' of the entire event.

How sure is anyone of this? Sure enough to go and snap up real estate (say residential) knowing that if it is correct that real estate will inflate in value well over whatever it is right now (already inflated).

Also I still am not seeing the advantage to Amazon (as long as everyone is speculating) of going into such a dense and expensive area to begin with. Jeff is all about efficiency and paying as little as possible. What possible advantage does he have but located in such an expensive area that is sure to get even more expensive.

I actually haven’t found NN to be framed in terms of censorship at all.

In addition, the version of censorship people find evil is state censorship. I’ve found this to be a relatively easy thing to agree on in western society. In terms of non-state platforms, what would be censorship is both widely used (curation, bowdlerization, protection of identities of anonymous sources, etc) and in certain circumstances desired. My point being: “censorship” is not a useful thing to discuss in the abstract, and crying censorship whenever service is terminated is less useful that discussing the event in concrete terms. I think the uncanny part here is that the perception of DNS is that it is a public space, but it is implemented in the private space. I’m emphatically not sure what the right thing is to do here but I can’t help but feel glee that the weapons capitalists use to enforce control can also be used against them.
No. The point of using Clerky is to save money by not paying lawyers. Plus they’re widely used standardized documents so what is the point of a “lawyer review” other than handholding?

I don't follow this logic either. Boeing has their HQ in Chicago, Raytheon in Massachusetts, UTC in Connecticut. The key thing these companies seem to do is spread their offices into relatively small states so when votes happen Senators have to go against large employees in their districts.
That doesn't answer my question. People have always weaved their own safety nets and saved, but if this is becoming common in USA to spend almost nothing and live frugal, how can this system stay afloat?

Another point that's pretty unrelated, why would you live decades of your life doing nothing, living extremely frugally? Sounds like a pretty garbage life to me.

Lots of people don't accept your premise that white supremacists deserve FRAND terms for access to commercial hosting providers. I'd go so far as to describe it as the mainstream opinion. So: they can quite simply have that position.
>Saying that Facebook, Twitter, Paypal, et. al face any actual injury or diminution in service as a result of hosting pernicious speech is absurd,

It isn't absurd because an example of such an injury happened last year at YouTube with the "adpocalypse" demonetization debacle.[1]

- Various uploaders put objectionable content on Youtube. Google/Youtube doesn't censor or filter it out.

- Viewers complain loudly about it and threaten to boycott the major advertisers that ran ads against it (e.g. Proctor & Gamble, etc)

- P&G and other advertisers abandon Youtube and Google loses millions[2]. The innocent Youtube channel creators who created mainstream content also lost AdSense reveneue because they got caught up in the stricter content crackdown.

- Some advertisers finally return. E.g. P&G after one year.[3]

Facebook and Twitter can't realistically be an "any and all free speech including hate speech" platform because they are beholden to advertisers. They have the same platform funding dependence as Youtube/Google.

Those social media websites are not in the lower layer of the TCPIP stack such as "common carriers" ISPs like Comcast and Verizon. Those "dumb pipes" telecom businesses are less sensitive to whether a TCPIP packet is routing bytes for hate speech vs pictures of cats.

"Capitalism" doesn't contain values like "you must spend money on something else than housing and food". It just happens that people do spend money on things other than housing and food, so the market system does provide these services in demand.
Loan out is fine. The issue is that aggregate consumption and thus demand goes down. People decide not to take vacation etc... not buy the iPhone or not upgrade their car.. things like that. Lower demand means higher prices too.

This post makes a lot of assumptions.

This is a hard one because I agree with most of OP's points but, teaching people to use a password manager is not easy,and even then , password managers on mobile devices make for a bad experience. Like it or not, people will need to memorize passwords and they will reuse password across applications and site.That's something security engineers must accept as a reality.

The solution is:

1) Don't use password authentication on your site(at all)
2) Use 2FA even if you must use passwords.

No one will argue that a passphrase is better than a randomly generated password if you use a password manager. But if you must remember the passwors then a passphrase is better.
