That looked very interesting. But I had so search through the video and zoom in to learn how exactly to separate events that stand out from the baseline (instead of, you know, just reading that command from the webpage).

So, i did all that and downloaded the tool and run that command and found out that the feature is "experimental" and not included in the binaries. It's a bit strange: the tool got my attention, and i was ready to experiment, but i couldn't.

If the reason is that it's a paid or saas only feature, that's totally fine but i think authors should make it a bit more obvious from the web page. Otherwise, i'd suggest to put "experimental" binaries there, too.
Hi everyone, I'm working on a crowdsource language learning project.

We started by gathering resources like podcasts, apps and websites, but are also aiming to map out all the different language schools in each country to make them more discoverable.

Check out the spreadsheet here to add your suggestions. There's a tab just for language schools too: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jXLjoDbXvl_IKeBwWdwI...

I think the comment is referring to the canonical list of the constituent securities of an index such as the S&P 500 or DJIA. You pay license fees to S&P to name any fund you create “S&P XYZ Fund”.

I suspect you could legally create a fund with the constituents of the S&P 500 without paying them, but you wouldn’t be able to advertise that fact easily.

I believe is it not the actual situation in bol.com. If it is, I would be disappointed.

Last I remember, Bol.com has really good set of ops and dev tooling on hadoop, hbase, spark, flink etc. for scheduling, running jobs etc.

I wouldn't know why they replicated data both on hbase, elastic search etc. Having read the blog, I don't see how this fits the event sourcing pattern that bol.com was trying to implement and also, the idea of self service BI that they envisioned.

I hope I wasn't rude, I didn't downvote the OP or anything, so I don't think I crossed any lines. Generally speaking opinions that are "meh, status quo seems fine to me" are poorly informed. I don't want to personally attack the OP but they literally stated that they don't want to think about this and would rather spend time doing something more fun. Fine, go ahead, but the rest of us who actually think about the implications of this recognize that a very gradual but very profound shift in society has already occurred. We're not discussing it, frankly, because people are generally passive and some, like the poster, express a pretty dangerous lack of concern. Not only that, but the OP literally said it was a "weird obsession" to be concerned with privacy. That is actually demonization, and it raised my hackles.

2018 Kerch Strait incident
>As a non expert I wouldn't have been surprised if someone said, "yeah it's pretty common for furnaces to run non stop in cold winters. That's their design."

This was not uncommon in rich (big houses) older (built up before WW2) towns in MA because the houses are big and old and state law regarding who can perform plumbing/electrical/hvac work greatly drive up costs and are a massive incentive to always minimum amount of work possible so tons of people would have poorly insulated houses with smaller than ideal heating systems. For the coldest days in the winter many people's furnaces would run all day to keep the house warm (whereas poor people just turn down the heat).

This has changed recently because the state is pumping a ton of money into incentives for people to make their homes energy efficient now basically every old house has had insulation blown in everywhere because with state subsidies the cost to do so is now justifiable in the overwhelming majority of use cases.
Apache Avro as a Built-In Data Source in Apache Spark 2.4
I inherited a large database that "supported" an application, when in fact the application layer was built into the database. I took over from a begrudging dev who was involuntarily transferred from dev/dba to just dev. In reviewing the hundreds of ETL jobs, I found one that started off as SQL that invoked visual basic script in an external file share, which at some point invoked a small obfuscated machine code script located on yet a different external file share. Googling didn't tell me what the machine code actually did. The disgruntled dev said that if I wasn't smart enough to figure it out then I should quit. He had put this mess together with the idea that it would be job security. Finally, his boss forced him to admit that the machine code stripped a text field of spaces. The job was re-written in straight SQL and ran much faster.
What hiring 50 people a month taught me about scaling a startup
I tend to agree, but unlikely will get there, too much money involved.

Another solution could be to fix/use the asymmetry of being granted a patent and invalidating a patent. Right now it seems getting a patent is much easier than invalidating it. There have been steps to sort this, e.g. inter partes review (IPR). I'd like it to reversed, i.e. invalidating should be much easier than being granted a patent.
Don't forget Gaius Diocles, the roman charioteer [1]:

Classics professor Peter Struck describes him as "the best paid athlete of all time"."

I've had a brief stint pairing this lib with Angular and server-side pagination while also trying to dance around Django's CSRF requirements on a local machine (aka two separate ‘servers’ for Angular and Django). That was a rather mixed experience, Tabulator mostly prefers convention so bending it to fit an opinionated framework like Angular is awkward. IIRC I still had to deal with data requests via Angular and from Tabulator itself. Never managed to put CSS styles for Tabulator in component styles instead of global ones.

Long story short, for Angular there are similar widgets that also happen to be more popular. I didn't end up using them, so can't say for sure, but I imagine they fit more nicely with the framework they were made for.

Also, dunno if anything changed, but six months ago Tabulator could use some fine tuning in regard to UX with pagination: if the table is scrolled to the right, on every filtering or pagination operation the position is reset to zero (but not on the table headers, notably). There's also no support for more interesting filtering like number ranges, so I'd need to whip up widgets for that myself.

And, for some reason, the lib sent two data requests every time filters were changed.

MARS: Inside SpaceX [National Geographic 2018 Documentary / ENG]
Thermodynamics comes into play. Because the entropy of a pure gas increases rapidly as it diffuses into a mixture, it will always require massively more energy to scrub CO2 from the air than you get from burning the carbon in the first place.

Scrubbing would only become possible if we either:

- develop unlimited free energy (fusion, or incredibly cheap solar)

- let plants do the work for us, harvesting the Earth's tremendous isolation.

Either of these solutions almost implies that the climate battle is already won. In the first case, if clean energy is cheap enough to scrub carbon, then it is cheap enough to displace all other power sources. In the latter case, the slow pace of photosynthesis means we'd have to stop burning carbon (and stop burning forests) for a long time until CO2 concentrations stabilize, which is exactly what the Kyoto protocol was all about.
"if everyone goes off and gets vaccinated, would you?"

Apple constraints their users for certain reasons which they believe are good for the user (with some negative side effects that Apple also likes). Mozilla likely has a similar motive; doing good for their users.

It doesn't mean every user will be happy with that, the average user will however be better off. The non-average user can then install the developer or nightly edition of firefox or even compile it themselves too get unsigned addongs if they so choose. Choosing the branded release branch of firefox means that Mozilla wants to keep you safe to some extend. This means not allowing third parties to install arbitrary addons into your browser, for example. Users rarely know what they want or if they do, they go about it in destructive ways.

Install the developer edition and you get your "I want to be able to load any extension".
You’re joking, right?

Yes, yes I do as a developer! The thing is that a lot of these "hacks" aren't even that sophisticated. A lot of them are engineers not paying enough attention. The security dimension of many, many products can be improved tremendously picking off some low hanging fruits. Ever since companies like Google pushed for HTTPS, it's proliferated all over the place. Just by Google emphasizing it and talking about the need for secure communication even inside one's own network, my own company started doing the same. Enabling HTTPS and SSL wasn't that hard, especially since companies Let's Encrypt came along. It just wasn't prioritized. Once it was, our engineering team made it super easy to get certificates from LE and we all learned standardized ways for securing our traffic. Security is often low priority because people are really bad at planning for unlikely events with potentially catastrophic consequences.

I'm not saying we can be invulnerable but we need to raise the lowest common denominator so that it's not a walk in the park to steal millions of records. You just need the weakest link to make everyone vulnerable but I do think positive collective behavior can counter that -- especially when you make it easy with things like Let's Encrypt.
They are this low because they have only started fining companies. If Uber breaks the law again, the fine will be a lot higher.
It's not twisting his words. He literally said, "Palestine from the river to the sea." That means no Israel. Its why that phrase has been used repeatedly by Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist organization whose charter calls for the violent destruction of the world's only Jewish state.
> vulnerable or direct than any party to the conversation has been to that point

You seem to be sort of acknowledging the contradiction in this one. If the conversation is guarded (self-protecting vulnerability) or indirect, then it isn't being frank.

The problem is that it's essentially just another dialog or control to be scripted or socially engineered around. You can make it more onerous because it's basically a one-time action that's not something most users will do, but to what degree is adding a signing key before install different that a dialog asking you if you really want to install this third party extension?

Until you have different access levels and can both restrict users/programs from running at the base level required to do this, and condition users to recognize when increased access is being requested, I don't see this problem going away. Windows UAC is basically what we're talking about, and it still took years to users to understand it and not just always allow it (if that's even true!), and that's a system shared over all of windows.

I think the only sane way to accomplish this that worked for users and didn't cause enterprise admins to totally shun Firefox would be to piggy back on Windows' certificate store and register certificate for Firefox use only (I assume this is possible, I'm pretty sure you can do this for app-to-app communication such as MSSQL encrypted connections), but then you have to make sure you also handle the mechanisms to do the same in Linux and OS X, and now we're seeing it's a much more complex undertaking.

Protecting users from their own stupidity is a tough and mostly unsolved problem. Punting and eating their own resources to provide the safest solution they can, even if it's annoying for a more technically literate subset of users, is a solution I can understand and respect, even if it's problematic for me, because it's putting safety and security the majority of users over a simple solution that would be worse overall.

> Heck, since 1950, even the Catholic Church acknowledges Darwin[1] and says there is no conflict.

A bit tangential, but it's inaccurate and unfair to say that "even the Catholic Church acknowledges Darwin" because it plays into Protestant and Enlightenment anti-Catholic propaganda that continues to be repeated to this day. The Church is not in the business of making pronouncements about scientific questions as such. It has commented on subjects of a scientific nature in order to clarify any concerns that the Magisterium has perceived in the laity, etc, concerning issues related to or apparently related to doctrinal matters. However, not only is science not in the business of decreeing "official truths and acceptable beliefs", but the Church is not even a scientific institution as such, so there should be no expectation that the Church need to have an official position about such things (it has no position on evolution, for example) because it is not its department.
Why is it bizarre? Most people wouldn't consider their comings-and-goings to be worthy of any privacy protections, though some people have non-criminal reasons to want to protect that privacy. Contact information likewise is generally public information, some people may have non-publicized means of contacting them though that they want to keep private.

Generally people's level of care will correlate to what nefarious purposes the data can be used for. There aren't that many such purposes with the data exposed here until you consider the passport number (probably something more secure than a SSN for most Americans?), payment info, or login info. The purposes I can think of for the other data are reliant on the metadata that so-and-so was at that location at that time, when I might have believed something else.

I understand that the list is not a set of absolute rules, rather a set of caveats - even mutually exclusive ones! - and that an actual implementation will necessarily violate some of that, and that some intermediate representation would be needed. In other words, there will probably be a "name(s)" textfield, none of this graphical strawman.

The attack model is largely that fairly normal software wants to install adware on the computer. The software isn't direct malware but will attempt to install and activate addons, redirect the users homepage and search engine as well as setting various other options on the user behalf that are ultimatively harmful to the user experience in Firefox.

Mozilla wants their branded Firefox to be something the user can trust and that means controlling what code with elevated privileges (ie, Addons) can run in the browser.

edit: It should be mentioned that in response to the first question; Firefox performs some binary verification and won't run or attempt to repair if it detects tampering.
Put the certs in the program directory. If malware makes it to that point then you will have lost the battle in any reasonable threat model.
Facebook’s story on Sandberg and ongoing obsession with Soros keeps evolving
Stop trying to rewrite history. He was convicted of running the market, but the reason the judge threw the book at him is because he tried to have five people killed.

>Because it is contested, the Court must make appropriate factual findings if it is to include it. The standard by which I do that is by a preponderance of the evidence. Ulbricht's directed violence here is and relates to the murders for hire which he is alleged to have commissioned and paid for. The Court must determine whether these allegations have been demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence and I find that there is ample and unambiguous evidence that Ulbricht commissioned five murders as part of his efforts to protect his criminal enterprise and that he paid for these murders. There is no evidence that he was role-playing.

https://freeross.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Sentencing_2...

Maybe you think he didn't try to commission murders. Maybe you think judges shouldn't have so much latitude in deciding sentences. But the simple fact remains: Ulbricht is serving two life sentences mostly because the judge found that he tried to kill five people.
