All of this discussion about the company here (which isn’t responding in a correct and honest way) and not much discussion on the root cause of this problem.

The journalist and the 40+ People were victims of a credential stuffing attack which means they used the same password on multiple sites.

Had they used a password manager to roll a new password per site and had deliveroo had proper rate limiting, this attack would have been mostly mitigated.

>In practice, everyone has more than two levels of trust.

That is true, but that doesn't mean that two levels of trust is not a privacy concern merely because everyone does it.

>Someday isn't today

I felt appalled after reading this. If you genuinely hold that belief, I hope your circumstances are merciful towards you.
> AND: Search for X and Y. This will return only results related to both X and Y. Note: It doesn’t really make much difference for regular searches, as Google defaults to “AND” anyway. But it’s very useful when paired with other operators.

If space equates to AND, then how is it useful? There's really no technical reason to use AND, right? I mean, even if you nest:

good1 OR (good2 AND -bad)

I imagine it should be equal to:

good1 OR (good2 -bad)

> define:entrepreneur

The : is not needed; one can use a space. Also, I imagine this isn't really an operator, since it doesn't make sense to mix it with any other. Same with "weather:".
Yes. The problem is that on page refresh, that constraint is lost and the user is logged into the account, in DS UI. They can click around anywhere at this point, outside of the page we specified.
Funny enough, just today it came out Google plans to neuter ad blockers by disabling the extension API they are using (https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Kontroverse-Plaene-W...).

So, Google, tell me what options do I have? Switch to CPU and memory hog Firefox, to the new Internet Explorer called Safari, or watch while ads that I can't block fuck up my computer?

We're talking about oil here. Where do the olives come in? When I want oil in my cooking it is for what it tastes, and what recipes it affords.

If I want to fry with oil or put dressing in my salad, another oil might do the trick: olives are irrelevant. Might as well have compared olive oil to a broccoli or almonds...

The fact that it has "no fiber" is also irrelevant as to whether it has nutritional value (fibers are not digested anyway, and I'm not looking into oil for fibers in the first place).
I am ok with multiple competing standards or two projects merging into one. The difference is, despite licensing, the dvd and blu ray specs are published standards.

What Im less ok with is this completely proprietary vudu, ultraviolet, moviesanywhere, fandango, itunes, googleplay, amazon digital locker tangled web mess. I should have ONE master account at ANY platform that tracks my ownership of digital keys, and it should grant me access to play it back on any platform that chooses to serve me the video file. If I decide to move from google to itunes I should be able to export or transfer my key library. If I have a google account, paid for Bumblebee in Play Movies, Apple should choose to honor my request for playback on my Apple TV, and cover the bandwidth. It would be in the best interest of making their product Just Work. And if Apple only wants to offer files for keys I have stored in their service, it should seamlessly fall back to grabbing the file from google without the user having to do a damn thing. It should just silently work. As a movie watcher I dont need or shouldnt need to care if the file is streaming from Apple or Google. (but if i were apple I would want full control of the video quality on an apple tv.)

None of this "you can load it into moviesanywhere and see it in vudu, but then you cant see it in intues or ultraviolet." Permanently locking the keys to proprietary temporal services seems explicity designed to have these services ebb and flow into new services and magicaly lose my keys from time to time, or make them nearly inaccessable if they can only flow into one specific other site.

Do they want my business? I am willing to pay, if it means not balancing full price access to nyt, wsj, foreign policy, bloomberg, wired, ars, etc etc etc. I cant just sign up for every single one of those, and they cant expect me to. Im not going to devote myself to just reading one or two of them. So either they can cater to people who are willing to spread money around, little bits to each of them, or they can ignore that market and lose potential business. Ive paid for those products in the past, but now I'll just go read something else.
> is that it's actually Jony Ive who prioritizes thinness over all else.

Out of all the top Apple Forum, you are the only one I find who shares the same opinion as I do. So glad I am not alone.

Add to that is software design which Jony now also takes over, It was ( rumoured ) Tim Cook's idea to group the "Design" unit into one. And it was obvious hardware and software design has little in common, and Jony made a complete mess with iOS 7.

I don't know what went wrong. But I miss Scott Forstall. For some reason big companies has a tendency to force their best people out once their previous CEO mentor left their post, Patrick Gelsinger at Intel, Scott Forstall at Apple.

I'm not saying Deliveroo isn't in the wrong here - they absolutely should have more defenses, but I still think this argument makes little sense. What if they have the defences in place but you choose to disable them? Who is liable then? I personally have 2FA on my GMail, but plenty of people choose not to - is it Google's fault for not forcing it on them?
How does the Oregon program "know" if a returned bottle is bona fide or fraudulent (from out of state)? I don't see how substituting units of a fungible quantity, which identical bottles seem to be, can have the consequences you suggest.

Flow types are _everywhere_ in the codebase.

To pick a specific example, here's the file that implements the core logic for the new Hooks feature:

As for the TS typings, there's been lots of agitation from people asking them to be officially included and shipped with React. But, again, the React devs themselves aren't TS users (that I know of), and so they don't have the expertise to write and maintain those typings. Better that they be left over in DefinitelyTyped for the community to maintain.

(I'm a Redux maintainer, and I feel exactly the same way about the typings for React-Redux. I don't have any actual TS experience myself yet, and I couldn't do anything useful in regards to the React-Redux typings. Plus, I've got far too much else on my plate to worry about those.)

> lots of of very smart, talented instructors take on these jobs to make ends meet while they look for something else that allows them to pursue their passions with their extensive educations.

My point is that you can't attract and retain top talent by offering low pay and no job security.

You are confirming said point by showing any person of talent taking this job is only for a short, temporary period while looking for something else.
In Denmark, the system says the collected bottles and cans are of good enough quality to be re-made into food containers:

> The advantage of this system is that the material can continue to have adequate quality to be used again for food. Strict health regulations cover the aluminium, plastic and glass we drink from.

> This is why aluminium from used beer cans may solely be used for new beer cans if it has not been mixed with other aluminium items such as empty paint cans. Similarly, glass bottles cannot be recycled into new bottles containing soft drinks if the glass has been mixed with waste glass from light bulbs, for example.

> When we send plastic, glass and aluminium from bottles and cans for processing, the material goes exclusively to facilities and companies that are approved to manufacture food packaging. We inspect regularly to ensure that the requirements are met.

https://www.danskretursystem.dk/en/use-again-and-again/close...

The statistics for recycling etc are here, but my Danish isn't good enough to skim through and find the relevant figures: https://www.danskretursystem.dk/presse/#/documents/aarsrappo...
Because HIPAA is a regulation for specific industries. This includes healthcare providers and insurance. It doesn't include every service that tracks anything that could be construed as health data.

In practice, if you are a service working with covered industries, they will insist you be HIPAA compliant so they can't be fined. Individuals tracking their own information don't fall under HIPAA regulation.
Because npm is a standard (default) package management tool that comes with node.

After getting `package-lock.json` and `npm ci`, I would rather wonder why choose yarn instead of npm.
If you write type annotations in TS, they're stripped away.

If you write type annotations in Flow, they're stripped away.

There's no difference. TS has some additional features which are purely optional that don't get purely stripped out, but you're not mandated to use them.
Use uMatrix, it will give you finer control than a simple “on/off” with a nice GUI.
The major benefit of the acting unions is the ability to limit the labor supply. In a growing industry like tech, this isn't necessary as the demand has always been greater than the supply of talent.
Separate business or system analysts managing requirements documentation weren't (and aren't in the many places where they are still a thing) about developers being “code monkeys” with limited and not particularly valued skills, in fact, it was and is usual for such analysts to be considered inferiors to the programming staff who do work that is beneath programmers worth.

The reason they exist is because the organization values (or is subject to mandates for) documented requirements, and doesn't want programmers to have to bother with the tedious work of developing and maintaining them, focussing on actually developing the software.
Postgres is a nice open-source platform but the commercial engines are far more advanced in many areas and are not going to be disrupted anytime soon. If you can use Postgres for your needs today than it's likely that any relational system would've worked and you didn't need a commercial system in the first place.

SQL Server platform already has one of the most advanced optimizers and distributed planning with its use in Polybase, stretch tables, SQL MPP and Azure SQL DW.
Happy for the folks at Citus. I use Citus at work and it's amazing. Hope things stays the same after the acquisition.
> Another objection I had to unions is, they tend to promote an "us vs them" mentality, when instead, everyone should be working together.

You're aware that several major US tech companies were colluding to keep employee wages lower than they otherwise would be[1], right? Once a company's size exceeds Dunbar's number[2] (and often long before then), it's de-facto us vs. them from the executives' point of view.

May be MS is just too rich that they can afford to do stuff like that. But, that sounds very bad for Citus. Now they are PostgreSQL experts. With MS, they will be salesmen who are try to sell extra bloat that will also work with SQL server. Pity to lose such engineering effort in PostgreSQL community.

So a privacy risk is the cost of doing business. Knowing about it upfront and consenting to the data collection doesn't negate that. If H&R block stores all of the data you give them forever, that's a privacy concern because they could be hacked or they could (depending on relevant laws) change their mind and decide to share or sell some of that data in the future.

I notice you put "news" in quotes. Online discussions of news and aggregators are a terrible, bubble enforcing way of engaging with the news. And I would be cautious to call our online news (and cable news) 'traditional media.' They are a different animal. Even quality print publications have vastly different standards for what they publish online vs what gets printed. That said, while I'd agree that spin may be a bigger problem now due to this, spin has always been a problem. However, I think the way we engage with the news, as consumers, has made spin more detrimental than it has been in the past and perhaps more dangerous. To me, this consumerist model is the "news," but there are still great ways to engage with the news - you don't have to give it up.

As a high-schooler I was lucky enough to take a news focused civics course, where we received a subscription to Time Magazine and the local paper. Every day we'd get together and discuss the news, differing viewpoints in different media sources, and try to ferret out the "Orwellian language and fact bending" you discuss. To do this we had to engage with different news sources and actually _read_ the articles. Not just five or six mutually reinforcing headlines and a bunch of reddit comments.

As I sad, there are still good ways of engaging with the news media. There are plenty of publications still producing quality journalism, and publications that provide a thoughtful aggregation and discussion of the news. The Week comes to mind immediately and has continued to act a little bit like that class for me. I would not read David French without it, but I'm glad I do. Similarly, I keep a subscription to the local paper so I can read the local news (The rest of the paper is mostly wire trash, so I don't make a point of reading all of it) High Country News to keep up with regional news, and a few other monthlies for in-depth thinking and analysis of the news.

There's a stark difference in what the "news" is once you disengage with the 24-hour-cycle-driven consumerist news model - which the internet is incredible are reinforcing- and choose to engage, rather than consume, with news and analysis. The spin starts to fall away, and partially because it becomes more explicit. The monthlies I subscribe to have a very open, very clear agenda.

To put it in a much shorter way, we all need to stop reading "news" stories with headlines of "...and the internet blew up" or "...caused a tweet storm..." and instead engage with (vs consume) media about the macro in quality publications where you can identify the viewpoint and then seek out opposing view points.

FDA's opioids adviser accuses agency of having 'direct' link to crisis
I frequently use the dash inside a word so that for example a search for sub-optimal returns results including "sub-optimal", "suboptimal" and "sub optimal".
That’s assuming they even work. Best bet is to go to a Costco, they at least keep it mostly clean and functional. Although you then have to stand in the returns line to get your money or argue with a cashier that they have to redeem the slip.
I agree to an extent (about the services moving to the suburbs), but if the market's there as well, I'm sure the services are fine to squeeze out every last profit.

I do use Instacart for grocery delivery (Chicago), but I really dislike grocery stores and willing to pay the premium (avg +30% in my exp) to avoid that trip. Honestly, If I was in the suburbs, with a vehicle, I might be better incentivized to personally make the trip.

All my own opinion though.
A job doesn't have to be the highest status to still be high status.
The main reason they block this is because it's used by malware as in infection vector - makes it easy to find vulnerable hosts running outdated webapps for example.
I'm pretty excited as well... Especially if this means improvements to Azure's PostgreSQL options. DBaaS is one of the areas where cloud providers give a LOT of value, more so as long as the interfaces you use can be used internally/locally for development.

Similarly, I really appreciate MS-SQL for Linux on Docker as it is a lot easier to setup for CI/CD and local for dev and testing and is nearly transparent going to Azure SQL or MS SQL Enterprise for hosted deployments. I'd much rather use PostgreSQL with PLv8 than MS-SQL though.
Offering services is far more lucrative than a single product. That's the entire cloud computing business model.

Azure is happy to take your money to run SQL Server or Postgres, just like how Amazon has been running Aurora side-by-side with Oracle and SQL Server for years now.
Why can't it be both? Isn't bullying just as much a cultural phenomenon as ideas about blood and ickiness? It targets those who less psychologically secure, as menstruators temporarily are, relative to their peers.
Test and compile time contracts both check invariants.

Abstractly speaking, there's no big conceptual chasm that separates a test in a test suite from a test the compiler makes.
Fintech Revolut's algorithms: frozen accounts and lack of customer service
Nils Frahm, the artist in OP's video, is great. His music is a brilliant combination of electronic music with piano.

Frahm uses prepared pianos — meaning pianos that have been modified with things like paper or fabric attached to strings/hammers, and with microphones placed in strategic places to capture subtleties that normal recordings don't. (His solo piano pieces are full of lovely creaks and clicks.)

Frahm hasn't made an uninteresting album so far. His solo piano album, Screws, is great:

https://open.spotify.com/album/2EaigzcT1RHV3ILasIOfJz?si=6ix...

His latest, All Melody, is more electronic:

https://open.spotify.com/album/43hPjSOlltDtbjltUv24EV?si=Bg7...

I'm also a big fan of the American composer Luke Howard, who does very much the same thing:

https://open.spotify.com/album/3ruy1nBte44Ziwta8Agu27?si=7wA...

Howard is also a brilliant jazz pianist. His album Open Road with the bassist Janos Bruneel is fantastic.

Another superb prepared-piano guy is Clem Leek:

https://open.spotify.com/album/3cwtIJImhlcIcXewI73p0D?si=N6m...

And then there's Dustin O'Halloran, whose name sounds like he should be a gangly, wandering folk singer, but is actually a phenomenal pianist and composer. His three piano solo albums are great. He's been doing a lot of soundtrack composition recently that mixes electronics and piano; his score for the recent film Puzzle is on rotation in my Spotify:

https://open.spotify.com/album/6TDQmJ2G8UoCyyKFsWKsq7?si=IxT...

O'Halloran's electronic side project, Winged Victory for the Sullen, is also superb:

As dietary advice is being presented here as explicit statements (incidentally without evidence) I want to make this claim: The advice to avoid extracted fats (oils) is not sound.

As categories, oils and fat are fine. They both contain elements which are good for health. There are subcategories which seem to be bad for health (e.g. trans fats, and oils with those in, or rancid oil).
This opinion reflects a particular kind of career and living situation. If you rent and work in a field that has many options per city, and/or remote work, things are fine. I've heard it said that programming is an industry that favors lateral movement.

On the other hand, if you own a house and the economy has tanked to where it's worth less than you owe on it, and you work for a large company that is a unique industry in that town, your options are limited. If they gouge you (see history on "the company store") you're screwed. Hence unions are far more important in certain industries than others.

I doubt they'd disrupt their AWS operations right away - this certainly won't be the first time that a MSFT team/subsidiary has used AWS.

What's more worrying to me is if they try to do both - build out a Citus offering on Azure, and simultaneously try to keep high-reliability of their AWS Citus Cloud, which may be the most reliable option for some time. It's tough for any organization, no matter how much capital has been injected, to keep a laser-sharp eye on two inevitably-competing initiatives, each of which have their own performance and automation characteristics. I don't want the one person in the company who knows, say, cloud hard drive recovery patterns like the back of their hand and had previously been the EBS guru, to suddenly be pulled into the new Azure optimization project... and that's not something that capital injections can necessarily fix.

That said, this could accelerate their development timelines overall, and it guarantees stability for the product for quite a while. Overall I think this is good news! Citus is one of those things that you want to have in your back pocket when building any type of app on Postgres, and we certainly see it in our company as a long-term "escape hatch" when we're forced to make database-heavy design decisions at currently relatively-small scale. This deal keeps it alive and prospering!
