Probably a lot more than $20/month. But it certainly has a price. What FB is doing is definitely scummy, but if individuals are disclosed of the risks and exactly what the app does, I think they should be able to make this trade if they want to.

I probably wouldn't, unless it was in excess of maybe >$1000/month. And even then I'd probably just get a new phone. But people should have the right to sign contracts, even if they seem exploitative, as long as they are aware of what they are agreeing too.

The main problem it seems here is that a lot of the people were underage.
Good point. Someone else essentially gets paid to compromise your privacy without your consent.

No need for an extension.

Reader view doesn't always work though (at least in Firefox.) You can use the icon in the URL bar or CTRL + ALT + R to open reader view.

Firefox does some detective work to choose whether to show the reader view icon but using the keyboard shortcut used to work regardless. Recently it seems even the keyboard shortcut doesn't work unless the icon is visible - I think becausethe heuristic for showing the icon is more accurate these days.

My 16-year old son has a classmate who has made about $50 or
so writing spam questions for Quora. Some of these questions were astonishingly stupid, the kind of writing that I would have fired a spam writer back in the day that I hired spam writers.

It wasn't clear if he was working for Quora or working for somebody who wanted to spam Quora, but the damage is done.
>>I doubt that, for them, a different presentation would have made a difference.

Indeed.

From the article.

"I am appalled," said NASA's George Hardy, according to Boisjoly and our other source in the room. "I am appalled by your recommendation."

Another shuttle program manager, Lawrence Mulloy, didn't hide his disdain. "My God, Thiokol," he said. "When do you want me to launch — next April?"

They told us that the NASA pressure caused Thiokol managers to "put their management hats on," as one source told us. They overruled Boisjoly and the other engineers and told NASA to go ahead and launch.
I mean, if you tell me something, I can legally decide to tell someone else. Unless we signed a contract or something.
A well run service run by a world-class team will provide global availability performance and service that small teams are incapable of.

However, in this case, I don't think the service is very well run, so there's downtime. Not really an issue with "the cloud", this is just an issue because of bad management and/or design of the system.

Dubai is fueled by oil money, something that China doesn't have a lot of (relative to their population size). You can explain a lot by looking at the oil money to population ratio of various polities. The ebb and flow of the balance sheets of Texas, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Venezuela and Norway all have a lot to do with the price of oil and their local production. In many places around the world, successful socialism means oil production, and failed socialism means failures in oil production. Government-owned oil reserves allow countries to "cheat" the taxes-versus-services dilemma, but that never lasts for long. Presently Saudi Arabia is feeling the pressure of decline and may not be able to pay their people to be happy for much longer. Venezuela is practically collapsing right now, and it all started when they had a series of oil production disasters that crippled their national reserves. Texas and Norway might be better prepared, because they have been investing the money, Texas in roads and education and Norway in their country in general.
You only need a threat to introduce any kind of "safety measures". This is a trend that is done by governments all over the world as an excuse to enter and take, do surveillance and monitor all kinds of activities. It's no surprise that they always put safety in front of measures designed to align with their marketing agenda. The masses will agree unfortunately and blindly subscribe.

I'm still waiting for them to find a "safety-first" reason to ban adblock from the store.

The "endgame" would have to include something that Napster had, and spotify etc don't: guaranteed, unlimited, non-regulated access to everything from everywhere, any time.

I recognize that is the ideal spotify is striving for, and they're on the right trajectory. But they rest within the boundaries set by (inter)national copyright law, and that just goes counter to some of those features.

In that sense, we may be in an endgame-like situation, but I don't see this game being over before copyright is severely reformed or just outright destroyed by technological means.

Tbh, I don't see most articles staying on topic. They'd be much shorter if they did not add the human angle, some backstory, and that time somebody did something that hilariously failed but led to whatever somebody is writing about today.

And how do you even decide what's on topic and what's not? Is pointing out some flaw of some pattern on topic for an article that says "this pattern has this great advantage", or is only that advantage and its greatness on topic? I'm pretty sure the perceived width of any topic varies between readers, so others might not consider that same things off topic that you do.

You presumably rely on several indicators that you have learned to look for when doing this type of work. There are several indicators in an URL that indicate the likelihood of it being legit, including proper spelling, valid SSL, reasonable path given the activity etc.

You presumably rely on brands, yes? Same with the URL, make sure it is in fact the 'brand' you're looking for. Am not saying it's 100% foolproof as buying counterfeits isn't hard either. But at least do the bare minimum to check.
> Fortunately, nobody has built weapons like this.

The cynic in me says yet.
I've got some Hue bulbs and while I believe newer versions of the hub/lamps have the option to return to last setting when power cycled via wall switch, I can't say the alternative is necessarily worse in terms of the user.

The idea is that I can schedule the lights to do their thing or I can control via a phone app, but if someone else is at my house they can always just turn a light off and on at the switch to reset to full brightness.

I actually do this often when I need bright light in a room that is currently dim and I don't want to pull out my phone and tap the widget. Likewise, if my WiFi access point was being flaky for whatever reason, I would not want to be stuck with lights in some dimmed or colored state all the time. I'd want a way to make them fail back to being regular light bulbs.

I think that's the main idea. You get all the fancy scheduling and remote control, but in the end, you need a simple way for them to fall back to being plain old light bulbs if something isn't working.
Last I checked it was pretty blog-centric, but I didn't try in depth, I saw that somewhere and it put me off. Is it not?
We have had the ability to release bio weapons and or chemical weapons for a long time now with almost no real world use outside of the middle east. Virtually no individuals have done so (there are a few cases). Someone with the scientific know how to produce a gene drive edited crop as you suggest would likely also have had the ability to produce a bio weapon and they have not. So the odds are probably very low. The production of ricin in large volumes is even easier and there have been only a handful of real world cases and those have been small cases.
> isn't really following a Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure process, yeah

Why should they have followed that process? Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure is just one way of many of disclosing security problems. It's not the single right way.
I have a feeling if some production switches to India it might put a damper on Chinas plans. That would slow their growth a lot.

I am not going to argue if the Trump tariffs on China are good or bad. But they might force some companies to explore alternative manufactuing facilities with countries friendlier to the US. Apple looking at india as a possible move and some other large companies i have seen articles that are exploring the possibiliy.

This is the problem with being dependant on other countries. China desperately needs exports to sustain their growth as a nation. U.S. needs China because we are use to overbuying cheap goods, however it goes back to supply and demand, if their are other suppliers it places the entity on the demand side in a much safer place. Just my opinion, i am not an economics guy so i am probably wrong.

And that is why I buy less and less on Amazon. If I don't have an exact product number, searching on Amazon is a painful waste of time.

So I search on Google or eBay, find a product number, run a search in Amazon. Until a few years ago, that resulted in a cheaper price but now more often than not, Amazon is not the cheapest (even accounting for shipping); and increasingly they are no longer the fastest either.

The DOM is actually a tree. I'm not sure if it's correct to call that 1D. Similarly, the web is a graph, definitely not 1D.

I'd even go as far to say the text on most webpages isn't even linear. It's either a tree (like this comment page) or a fragmented collection of text chunks.

The webpage that strictly consists of one linear stream of text is very much the exception. And it also happens to be the exception that CSS never had problems with.

What you seem to be saying is that paragraphs are 1D (which get wrapped and flowed in layout), therefore entire webpages are 1D (no) and therefore the web is 1D (definitely not).

Or maybe you could say that most viewport representations, scrolling vertically, are 1D. In which case CSS should be the tool that converts the tree or graph of content into this semi-1D viewing representation.

I agree that this mismatch is where CSS finds a lot of problems.
We also need some kind of hardware indicator like a light that indicates when the mic or camera are turned on. After a blunder like this, a privacy-focused needs to rebuild trust that they take privacy seriously.

The OP writes repeatedly that the "odds of winning are related to the amount bet on each horse." This is not correct. The payout is related to the number of people betting. The odds of winning are based on the horse's DNA, training, competitors, etc. The horse does not know who bet it on it while it's running. It's easy to confuse the word "odds" in gambling because that often refers to payout, but these are not the odds of winning.
My full angle is just that outsourcing of IT for a utility company seems, at best, two steps removed from anything of relevance.

PG&E outsourced something like 70 jobs from their IT department. They laid off under 2% of their workforce.

You have engage in all kinds of "this is a symptom of" third-degree effects stuff. But if you want to just say "they have bad management" why talk about outsourcing of an IT team instead of....their actual core business?

You know who else outsources? Apple & Google. (Apple spends $100 million a year on Indian outsourced IT, for instance) According to the OP's thesis we should expect Apple & Google to shutdown soon.

No one believes that because, really, none of us believe the OP's thesis that outsourcing a tiny fraction of your workforce is a sign of anything material.
It's not even that--they are not stopping the identical Android app, only the iOS one. From the media/public standpoint, the programs are nearly identical, so this is clearly a case of either Apple ordering them to stop and/or they know they are hosed for giving Apple the finger and trying to pull the plug before Apple revokes their entire company's enterprise certificate, which would break any internal apps (the intended use of enterprise certs) that they may be using. So it's not even the bad press, just them risking angering a company they depend on to do their business.

That's pretty nice. For people looking for an alternative with the same convenience as Medium, converting the archive of Medium posts to a GitHub Pages site could be a decent solution.
Exactly. With phone number spoofing, all the scammer needs is the phone number of someone on your list. With social media how long do you think it would take to generate such a list, and to get propagated to every scammer?
And that's a novel idea when they are on the campaign trail... until they start getting daily national security briefings and learn about the attempted attacks supposedly foiled by good SIGINT. No one wants to be the president who turns that firehose off and "causes the next 9/11". I believe that is what happened with Obama.

"Sorry, the expected answer was Yannie."
Years ago my team and I discovered a pretty significant bug in Safari's/CFNetworking's TLS implementation. Once the browser had deemed a certificate valid once, it would subsequently accept it for all hostnames. We got absolutely nowhere with Apple's official security contacts. The issue only got resolved months later, after I was able to find an employee from their security team at WWDC and explain the issue face to face.
> URIs have a rather well defined type and you can easily detect a malformed URI.

The average internet user is unlikely to be able to detect a malicious URL. Do you think the average person can tell which of these URLs is legitimate, and owned by Example inc.?

- example.com/profiles/al

- example.com.profiles.al

- examp1e.com/profiles/al

- example.co/profiles/al

etc etc.

Safari already only shows the hostname to help with visual identification - this doesn't help with different-but-similar hosts, but it does help regular users to see what website they're on, if they are unfamiliar with the protocol/host/path structure of URLs. Which they shouldn't have to be.
Quantitative trading isn't trying to predict the S&P500. It's trying to predict the distribution of returns, which is a (slightly) easier problem. Quants are just trying to make money, not predict the future. And judging by the returns of quant funds like Bridgewater or Renaissance, the answer is that while they might not be able to predict the S&P, they can generate alpha year over year.

An SMS is sent in the GSM SACCH (Slow Associated Control Channel), that channel is normally used for timing information (how far away the handset is from the cell tower and the power control of the handset). Since SMS is not a real time application, they are virtually free. The phone will wait until it is possible to send. This and congestion on the SMSC is why SMSes sent on New Years eve often are delayed.
>Following your tomato example, you grew the tomato on some land and the plant absorbed nutrients from the land. Who gave your the right to do that? Do you own the nutrients?

>Who gave your the right to do that? Do you own the nutrients?

If I lend you a pen and expressly state that I want it back when you're done and you use some of the ink in the pen that's to be expected.

If I rent you land it's foreseeable that you might grow something on it and unless our agreement stipulates that you can't it's implied that you can.

When property is in the hands of someone else we don't bother controlling for the common use cases. If I let you borrow my pen I expect you to write with it. If I sell you a pen it comes with the ink in it. If I rent you land I can expect you to grow something on it. If I sell you land it comes with everything therein.

We specifically negotiate for the uncommon use cases (e.g. mining/timber rights)

>How did humans come to own land? Was everybody born with their piece which they chose to trade? Of course not.

This is a sideshow and not material to the conversation.

Pretty much all land in the world is owned by someone or some entity. There is a chain of ownership. If you go back far enough the land was owned by whoever was there first.

Controversial opinion here, but all of these distributed streaming architectures are massively overused. They certainly have their place, but you probably don't need them. I see it all the time with ML work. You wind up using a cluster to overcome the memory inefficiency of Spark, when you could have just used a single machine. For example, I've done huge graph clustering models on a single machine just by being smart about memory consumption. It would have taken an enormous and expensive Spark cluster.
I think the parent is implying that HTTPS encryption is a form of DRM. It's a reasonable question because AFAIK, the DMCA doesn't specifically call out DRM but rather any security/protection measures, so I can see how HTTPS would fall into that.

(However, upthread comments indicate that using certificates to see HTTPS traffic is a fairly common practice in enterprise setups)

The offspring of the useless-for-food plants won't make it to reproduction themselves if humans don't nurture them along.
