Nobody agree on that. Bad and good doesn't really exist, it's just a line we draw so it's ok. That kinda of my first point really.
I'm curious as to which kind of non-broadcast local news you're talking about. Aside from a motley mix of small town newspapers, this kind of source doesn't exist anymore.
It’s possible to use search engines instead, but creating your own basically requires you to find or craft a search box that is equivalent to the desired action. It’s in no way easy to work with (not like making a bookmark with the %s placeholder), and isn’t quite as pleasant to use in the awesome bar either. I’m with you that removing bookmark keywords would be very annoying at present.

<rant> To be sure, we do some pretty stupid shit in the US, for example a senior Senator having no fucking clue how FB makes money.

But of late the EU is looking like it's taking the lead in peak dumpster-fire status. I can't imagine anyone with an IQ above freezing temperature and a heart beat buying into the Article 13 stuff, it's simply mind-blowing.

Of course the porn filter stuff in the UK is a close second in stupidity.

No it made him a student he's passionate about fashion and wanted to learn how the industry worked from the inside, but I'd argue designing one of the most iconic men's shoes of the decade that made him an expert.

I was about to try Side View yesterday -- I usually run two Firefox windows side by side anyway -- but I couldn't be bothered to find out what data exactly they would extract from it[1], and I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt. I fully expected to find it as a standalone extension, but if it exists, I couldn't find it.

One of my favorite bars in Mexico City was this place that was sort of, Stanely Krubic themed. It was a weird but cool place.

They had a replica of the room from the final scene of 2001 Space Odyssey, in the back of the bar. You would go in there, lie on the bed. You could smoke a cigarette and enjoy your cocktail. It was so awesome.

I might have faulty memory, but this is not some minor detail. It is world changing.

For young teenager me, Chrome had a vastly better UX than both IE and Firefox when it debuted.

If companies know that data leaks are inevitable, then we need to shift our security models to be, "avoid storing anything on a corporate server that we don't need to store."

You're saying that incompetence is not the reason that breaches are happening. Fine. But breaches are still happening, so maybe Target shouldn't be storing credit cards at all. I have insecure things in my life that I know are insecure. I know that probably at some point in my life someone, somewhere will break into my car, so I don't store tons of money and jewelry inside it.

We know what the solution is to a data store that's fundamentally insecure and can't be fixed -- you limit the amount of sensitive data inside of it so that when it is hacked, the damages are mitigated. We already see this in many large companies with their email retention policies. Many companies take the view, "we don't know when we're going to be embroiled in some random, crazy legal battle. So we delete old emails whenever we're legally allowed to."

I understand where you're coming from with the perspective that incompetence is hard to measure, and to an extent, I agree with you. But the data breaches are just as damaging to consumers regardless of who's at fault. I have very little sympathy for a company that says, "we shouldn't suffer because of a breach because we couldn't reasonably prevent it." Consumers can't prevent breaches.

Companies should face an equivalent risk to consumers, so that they're incentivized to reduce that risk in any way they can. That doesn't need to be at the CISCO level, I'd prefer it be at the shareholder level.
Zoom's solution seems to be clunky software that works worse than Jitsi.
Well, yes. And then you've increased the transaction costs of such a pattern of usage, thereby discouraging it, whilst also encouraging regular rotation of scooters throughout the customer base even when people stick with it. I think that probably goes some way towards solving the problem of 1-1 hoarding.
Which ISP do you use? I have friends in Beijing who use Zoom for video meetings (including screen sharing), but they still use regular phone to do the audio part, as they've found audio unreliable. (This is with China Unicom.)

Anyway, the message is pretty obvious: Apple won’t ship anything that’s licensed under GPL v3 on OS X. Now, why is that?

There are two big changes in GPL v3. The first is that it explicitly prohibits patent lawsuits against people for actually using the GPL-licensed software you ship. The second is that it carefully prevents TiVoization, locking down hardware so that people can’t actually run the software they want.

So, which of those things are they planning for OS X, eh?

I’m also intrigued to see how far they are prepared to go with this. They already annoyed and inconvenienced a lot of people with the Samba and GCC removal. Having wooed so many developers to the Mac in the last decade, are they really prepared to throw away all that goodwill by shipping obsolete tools and making it a pain in the ass to upgrade them?
> I agree, and Chrome did that in one simple way: marketing and monopoly power.

When Chrome came out, it was much faster than Firefox.

IIRC, it was also an evergreen browser from the start and you could install plugins without restarting.

It was in many ways a superior product.

Apple isn’t going to risk their brand by rebranding cheap Chinese crap, they have nothing to gain from that. It’s much more likely they designed headphones and the Chinese factories made cheap clones.

I think that's the story being told, but I think the real problem is that the Saturn sucked, and the 32x, and the sega cd. Sega killed so much of their good will, that they barely had any customers left to pirate games. I only know one person who had a dreamcast, and they mostly had legit games with a few pirated ones. On the other hand I knew atleast 10 people with modded playstations, and mostly pirated games. I only buy Nintendo consoles, so I remember being jealous of their ability to pirate. Though I just remembered the kid who was doing the mods having a zip disk adapter for his N64.
So this article shows how to check equality on `(nat -> bool) -> bool`. Your question, I think, is to figure out how to check `nat -> bool` for equality.

The issue is that there are more operations we can do with `nat`, more properties we can check, than there are with `nat -> bool`. With `nat -> bool` we can basically check `i` indices and so the behavior of any predicate `(nat -> bool) -> bool` is basically determined by the first `i` indices. And that's finite. This algorithm is basically implicitly finding the indices considered by the supplied predicate and then brute-forcing all those entries.

With `nat` there's no such finite cut off point. It's never the case that it suffices to test a predicate `nat -> bool` on finitely many entries to fully determine it. So we cannot do the same brute force search.

Confused about how that would work in practice.

I took a cursory look out of interest :

I can see how Directive wording is either taken verbatim ('copy-out'), or brought into harmony with existing laws to avoid duplication.

Not sure how something could be implemented 50% (like a degree), or parts ignored completely.

Also, wouldn't any limited changes have to be approved at EU parliament level before being ratified as a Directive in the first place?

Also note that the Test Pilot page [2] contains a summary of the data they collect. Most notably:

> Side View does not collect any information about sites you visit.

The data is does collect seems related to whether and how you use it - it is an experiment, after all.

It was 4 consoles fighting for attention around that time:
Sega Dreamcast
Nintendo 64
Microsoft Xbox
Sony PlayStation 2

The sales of the Xbox and Dreamcast never catched up to those of the N64 or the PS2. I would say the market was over saturated around that time with 4 stationary consoles.

> Because the free will either exists or does not, and that existence requires it be compatible with the rules that govern how our universe exists. If it's not compatible with how the universe works, it doesn't exist.

I very much agree but have to conceed that your view on the label 'universe' might be too narrow. I too vigourisly oppose to the notion that the philosophical question of free will is not about how the universe works. Because will is all about how I will work the universe.

I suppose meeting somewhere halfway would be compromise, and naasking was just teasing with a reductio ad absurdum thought experiment.
This seems like an attempt to rewrite history. I was an avowed Firefox user, but Firefox was slow. I bought a EEE PC and Firefox was just too heavy to run, whereas Chrome ran fine.

The fact this was broken by stealing a developer's SDK is disappointing. Real hackers would have disassembled the machine to reverse engineer it, rather than using black market/social engineering tricks.

You cannot assume that an attacker will have an "honor code" or that you can keep information secret from an attacker. Because of the latter one, there exists Kerckhoff's principle

But it really was. Sega and Microsoft worked closely together or why do you think they implented the Windows CE option? Also all Sega arcades afterwards shipped with Xbox hardware.
To alleviate the pain somewhat, I switched a while ago to setting DuckDuckGo as my default browser, and simply using their bangs. Saves a lot of configuration when setting up a new browser, and all the expected ones (!w, !yt, !g, etc.) work.
It was their UK pricing maybe.

Everything was in a prepack. You didn't get prices on packs or shelves, you got colour codes that were pre-printed on the Radio Shack brand packs, so I'd guess they did that in US stores too.

Pack of three resistors, or three LEDs, or two electrolytics. £1.95. Or was that a fixed pack of 10 (including 8 values you didn't want) for £5.95? In 1970s or early 1980s. This when £1 Sterling was maybe $2.80

All US books were shrink wrapped, so you had only the back cover to go on.

If you mail ordered from Maplin in Southampton and spent £20, Radio Shack would be £400 for the same bits.
I'm not a native speaker, but the first entry in the dictionary for worry is "to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret", while "care" when used as a verb is defined as "to be concerned or solicitous; have thought or regard"

I have thoughts and regards about my financial situation, and will for the rest of my life. I think everyone has such concerns, so saying that someone cares about their financial situation is kind of meaningless. If that's your definition of worrying, even the richest person in the planet worries about their finances.

I certainly don't torment myself thinking about my financial situation, nor do I think I will ever need to again.

EDIT: Actually, there are people who don't care. I've seen them. But these people generally have never learnt to care: they are either children, who havne't had to handle money yet, or people spoiled people who essentially behave as children. In my experience, not caring about money is not related to how much money you have.

IIRC, people want to use a road on his private property to access the public beach part. So Khosla is saying, come to the beach all you want, but not by using the road on my private property. Cute.

Maybe the state should just launch eminent domain like proceedings and let courts decide on the price. He's not saying (that all) the beach is his, just don't come through my land to go to the public part. It has the same effect but it's different.

No, both receive HTML, the real problem is that websites built with modern javascript frameworks (e.g. react, vue, angular, etc...) render most of the content using the javascript engine in browsers, search engines don't execute javascript and thus they see almost nothing but a header and almost an empty body (of course it depends on your use case to be more accurate). Rendora solves the SEO problem for such websites, by being a lightweight reverse HTTP proxy in front of your backend server, it detects crawlers by checking whitelisted user agents and paths, if it finds one, it instructs a headless Chrome instance to request and render the corresponding page and then returns the final server-side rendered HTML back to the crawler (or according to whatever whitelisted in your config file). This is called dynamic rendering and has been recommended by Google and Bing very recently (see the links in https://github.com/rendora/rendora#what-is-dynamic-rendering)

Having set up couple of clusters myself, professionally, I can say setup is extremely easy relative to the functionality you are getting if you wanted to get it by traditional means (traditional = pre-cloud tech).

What is complicated is that this absolutely does not absolve you from having to understand everything that is happening under the hood. If you feel Kubernetes replaces that requirement you are doomed first time a non-trivial issue happens.
