Great point. For example here is an example of a fairly informed user struggling with security decisions foisted upon him: https://twitter.com/random_walker/status/1087352548846157827...

Asking users to make informed decisions about infosec is something from the Windows XP era. Ever since then it’s become clear that platforms will have to be opinionated about their security choices.

For instance allowing users to side-load apps also allows carriers to install crapware and certain governments to mandate monitoring apps. Platform designers need to figure out if that’s worth it — I’m sure different people will reach different conclusions.

I’m really impressed that chat rooms were used to trade information. It’s something I do in my area of technology and it makes perfect sense in hindsight.

Are the groups an open secret to give legitimacy to the info, or is membership more controlled?

Honestly, I understand what you are saying, but early in most startups founded by younger people this just is the case.

I certainly wouldn't rule out the company if I felt the people were good people and just inexperienced as that is why they have to bring on new people.

Where it is a warning sign IMO is if they are well funded and have the money to hire experience and they still choose to not, then I still can't say an absolute no, but I'd be far more cautious and picky.
Meanwhile, the Chinese government got Apple to ban VPN apps from the Chinese app store (and block the requisite API in sideloaded applications). So because of Apple's closed system, an entire nation of people is more liable to be spied on by their government.

But yes, let's encourage Apple to keep their system closed, to protect users from purposefully opting in to tracking.

Yeah my first reaction was "what makes artists so special"? There are many careers penalized far worse for less and unpunished with far greater power and potential for abuse.

Teachers get fired for being in a porn video in college while literally shooting someone innocent dead without another valid threat leads to no repercussions.

Cynically it seems power makes you less culpable instead of more and the extent of "morality" is what you do with genitals instead of anything else. And those outside the norm are more culpable to the extreme of "should have been superhuman". It is a deep seated stupidity and evil.

I'd never thought about this before, but you can definitely flip this around to a pathological case of doing the opposite of striving for 100% coverage.

The problem with 100% coverage that I think of is that the last 30% is often boilerplate code (generated getters/setters in Java and that kind of thing).

But what if an engineer started with the boilerplate and only then progressed to tests that are actually important? You might get to 30% without testing anything useful at all. Then you might test half of the important stuff and hit an arbitrary metric of 70%.

If someone were ruled by the sonarqube score, they might even do this.

Yeah, thinking about the why matters more than the %.

At some point there needs to more accountability for these organizations than "Oh, sorry about that"

I'm not sure why the media and journalists still get held up to some nostalgic ideal of brave upholders of truth. The majority of news organizations are owned by billionaires pushing their own agenda or giant corporations that only care about profit. Truth is secondary at this point.
Private firms aren't inherently "virtuous," but their motivations are at least clear. A business seeking to maximize financial returns for its owners isn't "corrupt," it's "working as expected."

The corruption of governments and labor unions often results in unexpected financial and non-financial returns for various people in ways that are more difficult to detect and measure.

Merit is relative. For example, it shows a lot of merit that you successfully completed a PhD program in machine learning. However, for some reason, there seems to be this constant need to discount people with academic qualifications when most of what machine learning is comes directly from there.
For example, just because you write cool, useful applications in machine learning, doesn't mean you are breaking ground in the field. It means you are using other peoples knowledge effectively and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that and his highly necessary. But don't confuse it with making contributions to the theory itself.

The way I usually do is to work backwords.

A lot of this is copying and pasting code and then modifying it, and then go back and learn what the "basics" are.

So in order to do 3, I will have to look at some of the hello world examples (I know nothing at this point). When I am through I may modify it to make it more ambitious, and then might need another resources. (usually stack overflow).

When the result of the function under test is nontrivial, but JSONable, I make it literally a recording: set your favorite JSON tool to pretty print and compare the output to the expectation in a string literal or file. Any change will be easy to inspect, diff viewers are great. The expected counterpart may or may not start out to be manually authored. After changes, it's usually much easier to inspect the diff and copy the approved version or edit a copy of partially correct output.

Even at 100% code coverage it is possible to have missed many code paths that involve nonlocal control flow. The most common issue here would be exceptions in languages that support it. In most operating systems there are various interrupts that a program can also encounter (e.g., a lovely SEGFAULT in many *nix type operating systems) and other operating system and hardware level issues (like OOM killer in Linux or an NMI or ECC memory error in embedded systems).

So, 100% code coverage may not even be enough for some applications as was discussed in another too level thread (medical device) or other hard to fix (spacecraft) or life-threatening situations.

For this comment alone, I thought I might downvote you but then you did something quite unexpected: you gave me a detailed example of what you mean.

It is quite compelling if this sort of pattern is widespread.

However, I will learn Vue because, unfortunately, I am still a noob. In a sense it is a recommendation.

IANAPilot, but I got curious once upon a time and studied those. Short answer: yes, they will get confused, but they won't crash out of the skies. Those systems are designed to account for certain perturbations in magnetic fields. However, there are thresholds in place to return control to the pilot if the entire system craps out at that level.

Not that it makes her argument any better.

I'm curious about the source of your numbers. In particular, see https://www.politifact.com/illinois/statements/2017/apr/25/b... (which has numbers comparable to yours for solar, but 160k jobs for just coal, not counting oil and natural gas, in the US).
Pretty much all Wayland compositors support fractional scaling with independent scales for different monitors.
I agree with you but to be honest, 95% of the traditional medias decided to chose a camp after the 2016 elections.

Since then It is extremely difficult to find a neutral news with clear facts. I distrust the NYT as much as I distrust Fox news.
Yeah whoever made this site is bat-shit crazy. But there is tons of great information here. Anything from making soap the old fashioned way to brushed and brushless DC motors. Its really cool and wouldn't be the worst thing to have printed off and saved in a fallout shelter.
For what it's worth, most of the jobs "in solar" are installers. Very much blue collar (also, fairly dangerous work).

Agreed with the rest of your points.
Does Brazil have private prisons that are much better than their public ones?

If not, I don't think you have contradicted his point at all.

There are not too many places that we can look at public vs private institutions for direct comparisons (in the contexts that they operate). Prisons are one, I can think of FedEx/UPS/DHL vs the Post Office as another, and it's difficult for me to come up with much after that.

In general, cold medicines do not work. We cannot cure the cold viruses, only alleviate symptoms. Mostly, warmth, fluids and rest, and not spreading the cold to others is best advice, plus decongestants, which is what you're mostly being sold. Even so, people ask for antibiotics for many ailments where they are useless, and add to resistance instead.
That would be surprising as the altitude control should be independent from the compass. I'd also wager that more than just the compass is used to determine course. Most likely a sanity check in the control software will kick in and return control to the pilot, just as if the compass(es) broke for some reason during flight.
Then perhaps there aren't enough consumers to support the commodity in question, and this is just market forces at play?
I drink a low calorie green shake in the morning. It’s water, kale, spinach, and a bit of ginger. Sometimes I’ll add a banana.

I drink it for a cognitive boost but it can also help me reduce my caloric intake for the day. I find that cognitive performance declines after my next meal, but maybe that’s something specific to me.

I will engage in intermittent fasting every so often and drinking tons of water helps satisfy my hunger. I don’t recall my stomach growling when it’s full of liquid either.
Twilio Acquires SendGrid
Because Linux and Windows users ask for different things than Mac users.

With 2560x1440 display, you won't get fullhd@2x sized desktop (scale 133%) on Apple. That something expected in Linux or Windows, but Apple will get you at most 1680x1050@2x (152%, they're 16:10, so different height) here.

It is compounded by the issue, that Apple traditionally used 72 dpi for @1x scale, while Windows and Linux used 96 dpi. Apple apps look quite good at lower resolutions, while Linux (ok, Gnome) dug itself into a hole and looks good on dpis much higher than 96. For Apple, it is acceptable to run 2880x1900 or 3360x2100 on 2560x1600 display, but when Gnome looks passable on 1600x900@1x, good on 1920x1080@1x and you've got 2560x1440, so you need to display 4K (1920x1080@2x) logical resolution on that... that's more "interesting".

As it says in the article, we don't have anything to fear at the surface. Reversals have never been associated with increased extinction. When the field does reverse, it becomes increasingly disordered with higher-order moments dominating. If I recall, the dipole moment of Earth's magnetic field is normally over 90% of the strength. The higher-order moments dissipate faster, so it doesn't reach as far into space.
I'm not sure what made it into v65, but Nightly works pretty well with different scale monitors :)

Then there’s a serious issue with your society that needs to be resolved independent of anything else - libraries are a public good, not for the benefit of any individual entity.
Ok. So does that make books expensive in France (assuming all editors / publishers are corporate capitalists looking to squeeze the maximum profit?. And what about second-hand books - do old and used books also have to be sold at a price dictated by these editors / publishers?
As an aside -- and this is not a disagreement with your comment! -- I found Pyongyang by Guy Deslisle horribly condescending. I really disliked it, especially because I also recently read a similar book* about Japan by Igort (who is Italian), Japanese Notebooks, and fell in love with it and its sequel. I really recommend them, in case you haven't read them.

* Obviously not similar in political terms, but similar in that it's about a Western man who writes comics, trying to work in an Asian country and fit in a sometimes impenetrable culture. But if you want political, there's also Igort's Russian Notebooks.
Apple might be a dictator, but so far they've proven to be mostly benevolent. I'm glad my mom doesn't have the ability to sell her privacy to Facebook via a shady VPN in exchange for gift cards.

The problem is that mobile devices can say "This app changes your VPN settings and installs a root cert". The general public says "Whatever, I want my olive garden gift card." It could could maybe say "This app could see everything you do online", but it really needs to explain "This app can see very site you visit, every message you send, every porn link you click, etc". Until the OS can actually inform the user what they're trading, it's not choice, it's deception.

And that brings us back to Apple. Until devices can do this for themselves, someone needs to be the gate keeper. Letting users willingly install some candy-themed clicker game that steals your contacts, location, and photos is _objectively bad_ in the same way that BonzaiBuddy and CometCursor were bad twenty years ago. Right now, the only answer we have to this problem is Apple and Google playing the role of the good guy and working towards better solutions.

I cannot think of a single mainstream provider that is worth paying for nowadays. What I would like is some neutral fact based news. Without titles implying that one side is better than the other. (If you want an example, open CNN and read any headline about Trump).

Such a Fact based news organization doesn't exist anymore. Ever since the 2016 elections, each outlet had to dig deeper into their partisan trenches.

Since then I get my information from a mix of reading multiple news outlets, together with some independent long form podcasts that don't have as much an agenda as mainstream newspapers.

Are you sure it is bias or justified criticism? From my POV, the "bias" always seems to me to be justifiable criticism of Trump. I mean, the man lies so frequently it's almost impossible to present "his side".

I have encountered this before and am curious about the alternative take. My understanding of it is that they agree with the popular narrative to the extent that the climate is changing but that they disagree about how conclusive the evidence is that it is caused by humanity, is that correct?

Can anyone point me to hard, unbiased (in your opinion, of course) data that supports the assertion that climate change is caused by humans or otherwise depicts an accurate representation of our current understanding on the subject?

Is it possible that climate change is due to natural and not human forces?
