Unfortunately, that's not something we have any control over, or any real guidance on. Per my other comment in this thread, Tim and I don't use TS or Flow ourselves, and we haven't directly maintained the typedefs.
That's an awesome idea; which leads me to think, what would be needed to experiment with alternative page ranks and levels of bubble-encapsulation? What resources are out there from which one could experiment-- as crawling the whole web is too large of an endeavour? How about a distributed database of the text-internet that anyone could clone and build indexes from? A layered approach? This must surely already exist?

Would this be only gravitational mass that's negative or would it be both gravitational mass and inertial mass? Because negative inertial mass is zany and wierds me out. Negative gravitational mass behaves in a way that makes sense to me.
I really enjoyed this post, but, I would’ve liked to see more information about engineering team size when these things happened.

For instance, the idea of “rotations” doesn’t make as much sense when there are 5 engineers versus 100. There were several instances where I would’ve liked to have known team size as a benchmark.
That is almost all entirely do to people who should be paying more not doing so.
How many of these MPs show up in Panama/Paradise Papers?

This was a valid question. When talking about them getting and publishing the FB files etc.. and asking if they would want their dirty laundry aired - asking if they show up in those releases is both relevant and obvious.
And an update to this. https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1070118915139923968

Now Rudy Giuliani, our country's cybersecurity adviser, says this is all a Twitter conspiracy.
I honestly have to ask. Why does this come up in _every thread_ about china. I'm not even going to pull out the "whataboutism" meme but I have to nod at it as it seems relevant. What happened to observing "this is horrific and looks a lot like levels of oppression we've seen end very badly in recent history." I'm all for introspection and self-flagellation, but these are parallel discussions, and the latter shouldn't supplant focus on elements _clearly_ discrete in magnitude and potential future risk.

Post-hoc edit: I almost wish I had made this as a top level comment to avoid seeming to fixate your reply in particular, because it's by no means alone or the sole focus of my observation.
I just read "Garage opener" and automatically I have to think about Samy Kamkar's OpenSesame Hack [0].

Regarding the keyfobs, I've seen demonstrations on video where the RF signal was relayed. I can search for them, but they were in German.

> I don't know what the consequences would be legally speaking if you were based in the UK and refused a select committee summons - I doubt it's a particularly common occurrence.

This is the problem - nobody knows what the consequence would be, so there really isn’t one.

The response to ‘you must attend’, ‘or what?’ is ‘or we’re not sure - please just attend’.
> Also consider that you have seen eleven years of data points and experiences from the point of view of a small subset of users; there could perhaps be an equivalent cache of positive datapoints which tend to be significantly less interesting to report on.

You know what a thief can be like? 99.99% of the time, they don't steal. They sleep, they brush their teeth, they do all sorts of stuff, and every 2 weeks they take all the savings from an elderly woman.

How often you do need to see someone doing that to consider them a thief? Would you really care about any positive stories after seeing what you saw?

> That's what the conclusion/premise separation is about.

You can't speak for that other person. Let them respond for themselves.

I' not really saying anything about non-empirical facts. I'm open to the principle they might be knowable. I tend to thin they must be encoded physically in order to affect us in any way. How does a non-physical thing with no representation in the physical world have a physical effect?

That aside, I'm saying that I don't see how non-physicality solves the problem of free will. In a physicalist interpretation decisions can be influenced by internal state, influenced randomly, or influenced by external forces. Non-empirical facts are still state. What additional factor does non-physicality contribute that I didn't list?

Is a 'soul' part of the person or external? Does it have state? Does it contribute randomness? What is it that it actually does except add something else we have to ask these questions about?
You gave some examples of how social justice overreach can be used as a guise to suppress people. Which is not really what I asked.

The study’s result seem to be that users often get unique results. That’s not the same as “personalized”, and it certainly isn’t evidence of “bias” as the spreadprivacy.org-link suggests.
A good faith interpretation would point to google running learning algorithms on their results. That would also seem to be a far better explanation for Google changing parts of the page layout, such as the position of news and video results.
The use of the term “bias” for describing differences search results also trips my conspiracy theory detectors.
I understood the use of "lurking" as "commenting unproductively in a channel". Although I may be mistaken, it makes a lot of sense to avoid such toxic behavior.

LightStep Raises $41M to Accelerate Microservices and Serverless APM
Being able to know what someone is likely looking for, is something that really helps the search engine experience. "I find just what I'm looking for and it is always on the first page!" is the sound of a delighted user of a search engine.

The cost however is discovery, which is to say things you might be interested in but didn't know exist. To enhance discovery you often need a wide band curator that can surface "likely" interesting things without destroying the experience of always finding what you want.

In the world of real goods these sorts of discovery curators are enthusiast publications which might talk about the new things coming down the road, or a restaurant critic that is trying the new restaurants.

Real human search and discovery is a pretty personal thing. And when it goes on all inside your head/environment its pretty acceptable too. People putting their favorite cookbooks in a more prominent place, wearing specific fashions that they like while only really shopping at clothing stores that support that fashion look.

When that information is at a third party, and dissectable by tools, then it gets creepy.

Someone who doesn't "know you"[1] but typically wants to sell you something, can find you and market to you, to help you "discover" something new on their schedule instead of on your schedule. When that knowledge about what you like and don't like, pay attention to and ignore, is weaponized into a tool against you (ostensibly to help you see "great deals" that you might have otherwise missed) whether it is a new job opportunity, fashion choices, the vehicle you drive, or even where you eat lunch. That is where it gets annoying. And when the version of you that you present to the world is quite a bit different than the version of you that only you or your most closest confidant see, and someone outside that circle gets a peek because of your search history and what you have shown interest in? That is an existential threat to 'outing' the real you.

That information is power; The power to influence you, the power to sell to you, the power to expose you, the power to control how you see the world and ultimately control your actions in that world.

If you could imagine a machine that as people used it, it condensed bricks of pure platinum out of the air. It was a side of effect of the machines operation. And now you tell the owner of the machine, you can't sell that platinum, you need to just grind it up and throw it away. Well that isn't going to happen, even if there is a big 'for show' grinding operation taking place up in the lobby of the machine's owner. The owner might say, "I charge you nothing to use my useful machine, I am going to keep some of the platinum it produces to cover expenses.

They're not erased all the way, they're only erased down into the root type for all objects. So you've still got some type information left (namely, that it's an Object), and any types that are not Objects are officially banned from the generics system.

Hence the need to dress them up as washerwomen and sneak them in through the service entrance.
Possible reason: It is actually intentionally avoided to use the concept of "ownership", since those advocating for "data ownership" generally mean things like "if people own their data, that means they can give it to companies and then that company can do what it wants with the data, since it is its property", which is more or less the opposite of what the goal of this privacy regulation is. The term is used sometimes in more general material, but it is problematic framing. People have rights to their data and how it is used, but they don't derive from ownership.

Thanks to these engines and extensions, Postgres has become that rare tool for me where I have to ask "why use ___ instead of Postgres?"

If they got their clustering story to be as easy as MongoDB's was 5 years ago (From what I read, Citus does this well), it's yet another excuse to stick with it.
Well, isn't that just the most helpful, rational explanation? Thank you so much for disagreeing, and almost changing my mind.
> Once they got very far away from the house, the car should shut off. Or so I would think.

In the event that the actual owner of the car left their fob at their previous stop and discovers this fact 40 miles down the highway later, if the car were to stop, the driver is now stranded with a car that won't start. As it is now, as long as there is enough gas in the tank, the owner can just drive back and get it.

Yes, I agree that I don't have enough data. But previous to this article, I was really supportive of Waymo. When I read the headline about "next steps", I thought we'd hear about some great new systems being rolled out or advancements towards the goal of self-driving, NOT about safety safety safety, drivers drivers drivers. This is how MBAs speak, not engineers.
You're assuming that a record of your vote would or could not be used against you; you're wrong.

how is this different from odf or even ooxml?
Not having to drag keys out of your pockets is a feature.
I think convenience here is fundamentally at odds with security.

The convenience here is that the system requires no confirmation from the driver, no physical interaction with buttons, handles, keys, etc. The driver just opens the door and starts the engine. This allows for a trivial remote sniff-and-replay attack, not unlike copying a key temporarily.

I bet not having a lock on the door would be even more convenient. But for some reason it's not widely practiced.
I was wrong. You can create UID greater than int_max. The problem happens in a policy kit assertion. pjmlp linked the policy kit issue #74 (thanks).
It's really not. Its closer to a sms app or craigslist and a payment processor. Its a communication app two people use to find each other.
From the article: "In a world where SSDs have become more and more common, one might ask what the point of even developing newer and bigger HDDs is."

Solid state drives still cost about 10 times more per gigabyte. I'm just a web developer, but a spinning-disk drive looks 100 times more complicated to me to manufacture. I know at the beginning that hard drives would be cheaper, simply because SSDs were newer, and there was R & D to amortize. But by now I would have thought that SSDs might have matched hard drives or even undercut them. Not only has it been over a decade, but hard drives themselves are using new R & D too. For example this article mentions that this new hard drive uses a new technique, called HAMR. Can the old factory machinery from 2005 be used to manufacture these new HAMR disks?
> Negative masses are a hypothetical form of matter that would have a type of negative gravity – repelling all other material around them. Unlike familiar positive mass matter, if a negative mass was pushed, it would accelerate towards you rather than away from you.

That assumes that inertial mass = gravitational mass, which is assumed to be true, not not proven.
Beta brain waves and other reasons for anxiety
What would it take to decarbonise the global economy?
It's not just the meter fee, but getting into the space (if a space is between two cars I'll just go farther to find an easier space), having to watch for a safe moment to get out of the car, getting out of the space (especially if traffic is busy or people came up too close in front of or behind me), and the meters themselves can be a source of annoyance here because they take their time authorizing the credit card charge.

With all that, I find it more convenient to mostly just go to the grocery store which has a parking lot, and order in.

As a side note, I also hate street parking as just a driver passing through because it so often makes the street suffocatingly narrow and I have to watch out for people coming and going.

> Contrary to popular belief, Java's choice of erasure was not dictated by backward compatibility concerns but because erasure is a sound approach for type system representation.

That statement is obviously wrong since Java did not choose type erasure.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.h...

In Java 5, generic types were added. And those Java chose to erase.

So Java chose both: to reify and erase.
I'd like to see support for computed/derived columns with options to be materialized or non-materialized.

I guess that's coming in version 12 after a few google searches.
According to my doc cousin, it's to limit the number of patient handoffs between providers. Apparently error rates are around 5-10% per handoff, so the idea is that if the error rate from sleep deprivation is less than that, it's better to have sleep deprivation.
Because it's still in places where there's interstellar gas (if this theory is right). And repelling each other gravitationally doesn't work very well at the molecular level.
Thats essentially how my car works right now, it's push to start, but you've got to have the fob slotted into a thing in the dash for the push to start button to actually work.
I assume safety drivers will be used when they expand into new cities to make sure they are able to learn the traffic patterns, etc.
We're not debating the technical arguments; we seem to be disagreeing and just how close to anarchy we are.

I think "giving information about friends" is kind of a stretch. Facebook has that information. Clicking something so Facebook does something with it isn't quite the same as, say, entering all that info into a text field. Maybe it is legally, but morally, from a commen sense perspective, FB gives the info out. Allowing API access is giving info. We all know how servers work. You can't "take" something, it always gets sent.
Yes but if you've been happily spending 4%, which turns into 8% because the market is down 50%, do the math on that.
No your last part it was directed towards.

Yes, I'm sure I missed some things, I was trying to keep the list as non controversial as possible. Here are some specific responses.

1. Agreed, but at least they do prompt fairly early letting you turn it off.

2. I'm only looking at things in the release version of firefox. As I note elsewhere they treat nightly/beta users much worse. Longterm TLS over HTTPS is great for privacy, and they had to choose some provider, so I'm mostly fine with this.

3. This isn't their fault, the same applies to chrome. An extension is a third party piece of software you choose to install.

4. Again, a third party piece of software, not under their control. Further they are actively working to improve this situation and bring Tor onto mainline firefox!
Haskell implementations typically pass around dictionaries at runtime when you use type classes. Since there is one per instance, this could be thought of as a form of type reification.

By trimming the top 1000 results, I was able to find some truly random websites that just happened to have a deep archive of interviews of a band I was looking up. All interviews were from '80s magazines, pretty much all defunct now.

Had I stuck with Google/Bing, every top search result would either an eCommerce store, Spotify artist page, Allmusic, or a snarky Pitchfork/Vice piece about them from the 2000s.

For this search, Spotify, Pitchfork and Vice were at the top of the search results because they are SEO-optimized This means that Google/Bing search will show the links from the domains that perform best under their page rank algorithms. Since Pitchfork and Vice are domains with a high number of backlinks and lots of active traffic, those were the ones that rank the best.

Given that so much of web content is just rehashing what was orgiinally reported/said somewhere else, finding niche content is going to be harder and harder.

I know people like that, who would drive for a long time to avoid paying a dollar and it always seemed like such weird behavior to me.

Its reflection capabilities are as powerful aa Java if not more so and you can avoid doing so much at runtime using pure functions and templating.
Yes, this is a nice thing. But it supports way fewer features a modern web site could legitimately use.

The modern browser engine exposes a lot of controls to scripts and to the chrome layer. IIRC Firefox uses this extensively to code (most of) the UI in Javascript and HTML/ CSS. But this is not very exposed to the user, and web extensions are intentionally limited.

Friend of mine in his 60s who was semi retired for the last 15 years had all his brokerage accounts emptied by hackers this year. He might get his money back, but might not. Make sure you use 2fa for all accounts. I prefer RSA secureID where you have a detached fob. Your phone can be hacked and hackers can then get verification codes.

Slowly increase your standard of living over a long period of time (or not at all). I operate from a budget, not from cash in the bank. Religiously stick to the budget (this is hard) but dont beat yourself up if you go over. Quicken does a reasonably decent job of setting up a budget and allows you to keep spending in various "accounts" under control.

The standard safe withdrawl rate is 3%. Im planning for a more conservative 1.5% approach. This means you can take out up to 3% of your total funds each year and never run out. At 8m and 1.5% safe withdrawl you still need to work.

The strategy requires you to have a reasonably significant percent in the market. While the market could keep going up, I think you can wait a few years for the inevitable recession, but eventually you will have to get it into index funds.

I make a good income from my business and it is easy to get sloppy when I have too much cash. Last year at a fundraiser I got drunk and dropped 30K. Im not mad about the donation, but Im mad about the way I did it while being out of control.

Car makers should use frequency/channel hopping rather than time of flight until doing time of flight gets cheaper. The car and fob would also broadcast on frequencies/channels that are not in the preshared set to detect someone trying to amplify.

The hopping pattern should be derived from a good cryptographic protocol that also contains mutual attestation.
