I remember reading that the Chrome team made a point of forcing autocomplete for password fields (out of some opinions about built-in password managers). But I didn't know they were expanding that sentiment to all kinds of autocompletion.

Not that this would surprise me with Chrome's general attitude...

My encouragement for you to start a business is this, 'become unstoppable'. How you become unstoppable is finding your 'why' for doing it. I think this is the hardest part... and more important than finding 'a business opportunity' because I think you need the meaning of your 'why' to sustain you through the difficulties of new venture creation, especially as you iterate through to product market fit.

I think once you have your why, you'll find yourself naturally doing whatever it takes to execute, which sharpens your focus away from noise like what you're describing (i.e. other people's communication styles) and allows you to 'take what you need' from resources, such as this book, and ignore everything else.

If they stop supporting it and you have a Nvidia GPU you can always use Moonlight:

Moonlight can do 4k at 120fps and supports HVEC / H.265.

You can run Moonlight on a RPi and achieve 1080p at 60fps and 5.1 audio without much trouble. Sadly a RPi cannot do HVEC encoding using hw.

The first assumption is way off [1].

The second assumption also is suspect. It is probably more correct to say that half the DoD budget goes towards protecting all trade, not just the oil trade.

Another (unstated) assumption is that oil fuels a lot more than just personal vehicle gas consumption. I don't know where that 1000 gallons of gas per year statistic comes from though.

40% in taxes to the federal government is also very high. The top marginal tax rate is 35%, and 150k isn't close to getting you into the top bracket, let alone by a significant enough factor to consider that an effective tax rate.

Don't get me wrong, I strongly believe there should be larger subsidies to alternative energy sources to counteract the externalities of fossil fuels. I just think this particular estimate is wildly misleading.

Good points, I agree with all that. Political correctness and the efforts to flip stereotypes, were overcooked. It's a shame that stories are managed now instead of written.

The whole "screen slave" thing was also a bit too close to current media attention around the topic of screen-time. Too obvious and blunt. Not a lot of imagination in that concept, only a reflection of recently canvased popular topics, like kids being addicted to screens. Viewers want to escape from reality, not be reminded of recent articles about screens, or gender stereotypes.

No, it isn't. This isn't even an article. It's a reddit post from a French user who had configured Chrome to automatically translate French (this is not a default behavior) and was then horrified when Chrome tried to translate his web page.

Maybe Chrome incorrectly detected French as the language, but we have no way of knowing because they didn't post any screenshots or additional information about the alleged event.

If this is every developers attitude how can the team make any plans about product roadmap? How would the team decide what to take on in a week/month/quarter?

I'm a developer and I understand difficulties in estimating. I also know of poor leaders who use estimation trap to guilt developers into an impossible deadline. But this attitude is not helpful and will not fly in any good team. If you apply yourself to it consistently, estimation (with certain degree of error) is not impossible. I wrote practical tips somewhere else in this thread.
> The problem is the assumption that people who do that are "better" in some way.

Well, your argument doesn't prove that the assumption is wrong.

In my experience, everybody starts with closed source code and before open sourcing anything the developers asks himself what kind of code he wants to show as his work which in itself triggers a desire for quality and makes them better(tm) developers. Therefore, I would assume too, that the mean open source developer is statistically a better developer than the mean closed source developer (everybody). But that doesn't mean that every open source developer is better than every closed source developer. It just means that when you are targeting open source developers you have a higher chance of finding a good developer.
I agree with most of your comment except Idiocracy - while sometimes funny it is a trite classist argument, already made in various form centuries ago ("the poor are inferior and reproduce quickly, ergo each generation will be lesser than the previous").

Taint checking: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taint_checking

Every external input to a program is assumed “tainted”. There are certain operations that make them “safe” (e.g. escaping a string makes it safe against SQL injection, etc.).

You simply attach this “tainted/safe” bit of information to each piece of data and flow it through your program. There is a simple calculus for combining these tainted/safe values, i.e. appending a tainted string to a safe string produces a tainted string, etc.

The goal is to prove that tainted values can’t make it to the business logic, so that your program is safe against certain kinds of malicious input.

My understanding was that this was the original plan for XHTML. Keep HTML 4.x around as a "legacy standard" for old content, make new developments in a new language with an architecture more suited for modern use cases.

Of course this would have required browser vendors to support two languages at the same time for a sufficiently long transition period, which was apparently too much to demand.
My gaming PC is in the attic, but sometimes it can be nice to play something on the TV in the living room, or maybe even the one in the bedroom.

It would only do that if you limit your feed selection to your 'bubble', something you should not do. Add feeds which oppose your view to get a more balanced diet. This greatly expands the 'bubble' to the point of it no longer being discernible. Of course you can only read a limited number of articles in a given time frame but you'll have a much larger body of articles to choose from than those who rely on a single source.

To the parent poster, what is your solution to escaping the 'bubble'? I do hope you're not relying on any profiling search engines (Google, Bing, etc) or ditto news aggregator (or, ${deity} forbid, Facebook) for that purpose as these actually reinforce the bubble perspective by expressly showing you material deemed to coincide with your viewpoints.
I’m using Steam Link that’s built into my smart TV. Way superior as it supports 4K and 50mbps stream. The original physical Link is catching dust on the shelf. It’s quite okay setup with a headless gaming PC. You have to use a remote desktop from time to time to click on some system dialog, so it’s not a 100% console-like experience.

That was the first place I looked, and by its descriptive nature it is indeed useful for ascertaining that people do in fact say "coke brothers". But the question asked was what the actual Koch brothers say.
I would make the advice more general: avoid dealing with Google.

Recently I had to install Hangouts app on the Android phone (it was easier than using it on desktop because I don't have the latest Chrome). One has to register a Google Account in order to use it, and I had to answer a lot of questions as if I was applying for a visa, including a phone number (of course I used a fake number) and date of birth. Then the app displayed a terms of service page with boring legal text. But I noticed that there was a small button to show more details, and when I clicked it, the page expanded and I saw checkboxes (lot of them), most checked by default, like "share my location with Google" or "record web & app activity". Of course, I turned all of them off and thought that I am smarter than a typical user that would not even see these checkboxes.

It turned out, I have been tricked too.

First, the Hangouts app somehow added this newly created account into all other Google Apps, so Google Play (which I have never used before) has started itself up and said that I need to update several apps (no, I don't) and then Mail App said that I got an email (this boring kind of email they put into your inbox upon registration). Also, Hangouts app added this new Google Account into the phone settings. And enabled sync for everything - including contacts.

Luckily, I mostly use phone as a dictionary and it didn't have any personal information - but if it had, it would be irreversibly copied into the Google Cloud.

These settings are not easy to find. For example, to learn about sync, you have to go to Settings -> Accounts -> click word "Google". Only then you will see that your data are being uploaded to Google. Google doesn't even give a warning, let alone asks you whether you really need it. To disable location tracking you need to notice a tiny button at terms of service page or find it at the settings. I am sure that most of users don't even realise that they've agreed to be under constant surveillance by Google.

I must admit, Google is good at sucking data out from people and deceiving them. After all, it employs smartest people on the planet.

These technical problems you present, are difficult but solvable if a big player is willing to pitch in.

I don't like to target specific words, but the problems you specify apply to JS as much as they do to any other language.

A C/rust like language has far better CPU/memory efficiency than JS.

A batteries included language like python might even be better at network latency since it doesn't have to bundle in the code that should've been in a stdlib, not client code.

We use different languages because they are good at different things. The browser doesn't seem to respect this Philosophy :(

A few months ago, we moved a project to GitHub and missed the automation we used to have on the old platform. For example, we like to merge pull requests automatically when the CI passes and the code has been reviewed and approved.

That's why we started Mergify!

Now, it has a few more features to help automating workflows around pull requests, such as the ability to backport pull request to maintenance branches, delete merged branches, etc.

Feel free to try it out and let us know what you think!
A similar sentiment is expressed by Neil Postman in "Amusing ourselves to death". He closely examines the impact of a visual medium on communication, as opposed to written work, and how it affects the messages that we can communicate. Ultimately the messages and ideas that we communicate shape our culture. The internet wasn't big at the time of the writing, but he is very insightful as to what it means for out communication.

Side note: the types of conversation that take place on HN are not surprising when you take into account the lack of photos and emoji as opposed to say FB that has "like" features.

If Patrick Steward would bring California several billions in income by living there, then maybe giving him private lane would be a good deal.

> Social change is hard, it doesn't mean it's not worth discussing.

It's worth discussing, but nobody would listen to a proposal for reducing government economic meddling. Everybody love to pile on Amazon and such, but when they go to vote, they ask politicians "bring us jobs". How do you think that would look like? It looks like this - politicians hustle so they can say they brought jobs. In the next election the New York mayor - if Amazon thing works out - would say to his opponent "ok, I brought X thousands of jobs and Y billions of income to New York, here's the list of deals I arranged. What did you do for New York?". And the electorate would listen and support that. So how could they not do it?

> But if that's the incentive that happens to dominate the news it will frame the conversation.

That's the problem. The government meddling happens all the time, but we only discuss it in "outrage of the day" format. But in this format it can never be fixed. Even if somehow enough people become outraged that the deal falls through - Amazon has a long line of mayors willing to do the same. And vast majority of people outside of the "outrage of the day" format think that's exactly what the government is supposed to do. So what's the point of being outraged here? Nothing would change, because that's what people want!

Unfortunately even with just collagen we can see an immunogenic response that is annoyingly exacerbated by UV cross-linking of the individual collagen proteins. That's why many of the best manufactured ECMs are cross-linked using a mixture of UV exposure and EDC-NHS.

I recommend you spend some time learning how to use make before you spend a great deal of time with your plan. If you do so, once you start trying to rewrite it in a shell script, you will discover pretty quickly why you don't want to. If you don't spend that time, it will take you a lot longer to discover why you shouldn't rewrite it. Either way is likely to have the same result, but one will take less time ;-)

To be fair, there are other dependency tools around, but make is a really good starting place to learn what it's about and why you want to use something quite robust. Many people dislike make, but personally I haven't used anything that was substantially better.
