Social was the department that was running Google+ and Hangout, and at one point I think Youtube fell under its control as well? Vic Gundotra was the SVP who ran it. Despite my mixed feelings toward products from Social I had a lot of respect for Vic.

You're not confused, and you felt the irony in my post. I wrote it's trying to be PC, and I didn't touch base upon what PC actually means - it's a broad term, different in everyone's eyes. Yes, Tumblr is bowing down to someone's standards, I called that PC, you are bothered by that statement - let's agree we disagree but you got the big picture and that's what matters.
No, you're not an edge case. iMessage does indeed not "work automatic" if you're not fully into the Apple eco system.
You are right, you did not throw that around, you is used in plural as well. While you personally didn't throw it around it's just a statement I make to the general public, like I said, it's not all about you and/or I, it's about people, the Iranian people, not trying to generalize or single out.

I'm not attacking anyone or arguing with you in person, just trying to show that I too find evidence and not base my views on personal feelings alone. Enjoy the rest of your day as well.

This is another thing that adds to my deep sense of shame to live in this country (sadly, that list is long and growing).

This bill does nothing to prevent the kinds of things it is intended to prevent. The apps this law targets were engineered specifically to prevent this kind of interference. The idea that passing legislation will suddenly change that, magically allowing decryption of messages is beyond idiotic.

The legal and technical barriers to getting anything useful from this legislation are huge. Not to mention the ease with which this can be bypassed (run OpenVPN and IRC on an overseas server, done).

The justification for rushing this was so that Australia could be kept 'safe' over Christmas. It's beyond difficult to describe how ridiculous that is.

Edit: Sorry, I also have to add that in the same sitting of Parliament the government also filibustered legislation that would have enabled medical evacuation of refugee children from child detention on Nauru. It's been a bad day for Human rights in Australia.
Ok so a lot of that drop can be ascribed to a market rising in share of total browsers, and firefox having a lousy share of that market.

which I don't know what to do about that. I use an iphone and I see no benefit to getting FF on my phone, which I guess I would say is due to monopolistic behavior by Apple.
Officially, they can’t, but you can be absolutely certain that iMessage, WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram are going to be immediately targeted with TCNs (technical capability notice), requiring them to bundle Australian government spyware and requiring that those apps send all conversations to the spyware.

This really isn't true. Generally patents are used to prevent your competitors deliberately reverse engineering your innovation and selling it (which isn't _generally_ all that hard), and (by very large companies) to have something to negotiate with when you inevitably discover you're violating a patent you were unaware of, since at this point you dig for the patent your competitor is accidentally violating and come to an agreement to license them back to each other in exchange for not suing.
The fundamental problem with Python dependencies is that they are calculated while executing setup.py, not declared statically.

For example, the popular scikit-learn package has the following in its setup.py:

if platform.python_implementation() == 'PyPy':
SCIPY_MIN_VERSION = '1.1.0'
NUMPY_MIN_VERSION = '1.14.0'
else:
SCIPY_MIN_VERSION = '0.13.3'
NUMPY_MIN_VERSION = '1.8.2'

and these are used to request dependencies from the resolver/downloader. You could have more dynamic dependencies that vary based on system libraries and tools installed on the machine where you are running it, or even the current weather.

Until this is replaced by static version numbers, and all popular packages adopt it, a registry API cannot exist as it needs to run code on your machine to figure out the dependencies.
Again, worthy trade off, not much of a work to solve one recaptcha, and the service that you use remains available more reliably by filtering out spam bots that could potentially render it out of service otherwise.
Why is it simple? Because you should never, ever need to use personal equipment or other resources for work use. If you're on-call, then the company should be providing the equipment needed to do those on-call duties, and pay for phone and internet charges accrued. If you're needing to use your personal stuff, then there's a problem, and the first thing to do would be to communicate this to your boss, and get the necessary equipment provisioned, be it a laptop to take back, or something else. Implicit reliance on your kit isn't even in the company's interest--what if it broke down, infected a customer with a virus or whatever. They and/or you might bear some liability for inability to provide service or to provide a bad service.
In python you just create a virtualenv with "virtualenv whatever". From then on everything is installed in there. If you want to start fresh, you just delete the virtualenv. How is this difficult?

This isn't quite true. The bill allows companies to provide statistics on how many TARs, TANs, and TCNs they've been served within a 6-month window. The obvious problem is that nothing stops them from lying or just omitting that information -- because why would you admit that your software is insecure?

Absolutely. What I find slightly disturbing is that there are plenty of people who are more than willing to do this with their personal property. What's worse, I've had some of them rage at me for arguing against it and refusing to "comply". I don't like that weakness become the norm, and then enforced. The company has no rights to one's personal property.

It's amazing how low this is for their market share, compared to iMessage which so seamlessly integrated SMS and more-than-SMS years ago. Given that Google do dictate preinstalled apps on Android it's not obvious why they've never managed to clone the iMessage experience.
This is architecture for car drivers who zoom past while burning carbon. Spend more than 10 seconds, it stops looking cool and becomes boring. Yet another example how car destroys our cities.

It is not walkable, it is not human-scale, it does not integrate with surroundings. I love how they do advertisement renders where their buildings stand in an empty field. As if the rest of the city never existed and should not be cared for!

You can't walk past these buildings every day and enjoy it. First of all, they are too large and far apart. It will be boring and long not to mention wind, rain and snow to which it offers no protection.

Moreover, it's a legitimization of awful 70s architecture with slightly more effort. Even her New York building looks like something people from 70s would build when they dismantle some beautiful neoclassical or moderne building.

I mean, I just don't know how much people care about mobile browsers. I've never even considered switching away from safari on my phone? I don't really want any advanced features on a phone browser, I'm not running 20 tabs etc etc.

I could be the odd one out here - but whilst on desktop choice is fairly normal, web browser on a phone feels like a core OS tool. Realistically this is probably due to how shitty IE was, along with the enforced browser choice dialogs on Windows?

It truly is pervasive now, and the likelihood of being asked to select crosswalks or store fronts or signals subjectively seems to be rising. I question whether that would be the same if I capitulated and used Chrome.

What would once be a certain no, I now question whether google is actively weaponizing reCAPTCHA in the new browser wars. After all, Chrome has such a large market share in the right places that I'd be surprised if the model didn't take into account user agent to determine non-automated users.

You're talking about relativistic mass, but that isn't a commonly used concept anymore. Today it is indeed the norm to think of "mass" as being the mass at rest. Massless particles are really massless and have momentum without having mass.

History is long, and I can't say it with as much definitive certainty as you (I wish you'd cite your reasoning), but as far as I know the reintroduction of sanctions against Iran will cause economic hardships which will radicalize a lot of people, and which will cause further instability to the world.

The same kind of hardships that also radicalized Trump voters, it lead them to vote a populist fascist into power.

Of course if Iran or Iranians cause trouble in the future, you'd use these as an excuse to say "Trump did the right thing, see what they did, they deserved those sanctions!", ignoring cause and effect: without the sanctions, they wouldn't be that pissed off to cause these troubles.
What does pipenv deliver that cannot be done with pip and virtualenv?
the authority of the biggest military of all countries
Not a stupid question. In fact Google proposed requiring either OCSP or a short-lived certificate on exactly the basis you're describing, that they have the same consequences, and Google's infrastructure is already set up to allow the short-lived certificates without problems. That proposal didn't go anywhere, but there's nothing wrong with it in theory.

In terms of the real world, a lot more Certificate Authorities are set up to bulk issue OCSP responses. In theory OCSP responses could be "live" but in practice what happens is periodically (e.g. once per day) you decide which certs are revoked and then you bulk make OCSP GOOD answers and sign them for all the other certs, and upload those bulk answers to a CDN. So now your signing stuff is isolated from the uncontrollable horde of requests.

Whereas in contrast a lot of CAs (not the biggest one in volume terms, which is Let's Encrypt, but most of the others) have humans involved operationally in issuance, which means higher issuance volumes drive up costs, and they'd have to recoup those costs by charging more. So for you as a customer of those CAs OCSP looks more attractive.

In the non-stapling modality OCSP also doesn't mean any changes to your five year old unsupported custom server software, whereas replacing the certificates every week might mean somebody has to manually paste text from a file into a crappy web form and press "Replace certificate" every single week. Ugh. Such a server of course will turn out not to be capable of OCSP stapling, so if we want that we could have just upgraded it to have a sane certificate automation protocol rather than teach it how to do OCSP stapling...

It's hard to know. I generally try "well enough" and provide a couple of incorrect positives and negatives. I was forced to do about 8 yesterday, and I messed up all 8 slightly. It might depend how overtly you try to game it. I've tried to be subtle, but I don't know whether or not it's effective.

As you have experience with pyenv, pipenv and poetry, you might be able to answer: Why not conda?

I've been using conda since ~4 years now, and every single complaint lodged against any of the other package managers was never an issue with conda in the first place. And yet, it seems like there's a SEP field around it and people just ignore its existence?

In this thread, for the first time, I've seen someone mention that you might have problem porting a conda env from a Mac to Linux - never had that problem myself, but I guess it's possible; But that's easily solvable, and certainly does not require a new package manager?
> gender-related biological differences

I think in this particular case it's OK to write "sex differences".
Without questioning her skill and professionalism, I don't really like any of her buildings, because I don't like unnecessary, uncalled-for shape. Today, architecture has a whole new range of possibilities thanks to new materials and technologies, but just because one can doesn't mean one should.

And when I say this, I also have in mind other kinds of design, from cars, furniture, shampoo plastic bottles, fonts and GUIs. If any shape is possible, aesthetics usually goes down the drain.

In the particular case of buildings, these are made to last and have an imposing quality of their own, given their size and location. And famous architects have an visionary aura that only adds to the disappointment and dismay of the common citizens that will have to live in the shadow of those behemoths, whether they like it or not.
I’m as opposed to current US idiocracy as anybody, but requiring people to relitigate every last fact, and prove even widely accepted moral concepts from first principle, just destroys any honest debate.

Can't we please just consider public transport, cycle path networks and dense pedestrian areas as alternatives for getting people around to separating every building from every other building with half a mile of road and carpark? For, like, five minutes? Pump maybe half the resources into this stuff that would go into strip car park sprawl and save the rest. Maybe plant some trees for extra pleasantness. The rest of the world manages somehow.

I'd recommend actually reading the bill to form your own conclusions. The main problem is that it mostly is a series of amendments, and many of them are quite unrelated.

Most of the discussion is about the Technical Capability Notice section (which allows the government to compel a telecommunication provider, under threat of 5 years imprisonment, to create the ability to access communications otherwise inaccessible) but very few people are talking about the Computer Access Warrant sections...

And it's possible for employees to be forced to do this, and you cannot reveal information about these technical notices to your employer -- in fact you are given immunity from civil persecution precisely for this reason. So you now have to sabotage your employer because of an order by the Australian government. Good luck keeping your job.
Housing is energetically expensive to build... the balance sheet is not favorable for the energy investment.

Better yet to build electric vehicle infrastructure (trains, trams, charging stations - cheap compared to housing) which could also be used by some business, tax non-train freight.
Replace buses with electric ones.

Farming cannot be done in the middle of the city and you probably do not want factories there either... Your move would likely kill the remaining parts of this business if successful.
Same happened with me and Oberon.

Using an OS written in a GC enabled systems language made me realize that not only it was viable, it was quite productive to work in such environments.

The problem is having a big name OS vendor willing to push it to the nameless crowds no matter what.

So far we have to get happy with half-hearted steps like Swift, ChromeOS/Android(Things) with heavily constrained NDK, .NET/UWP on Windows and maybe in a decade with more baby steps, we are able to reach what Oberon/Topaz/Spin/Inferno/Singularity/Midori had on their design.
