I haven't checked mine, but couldn't you have written a simple JS to automate this?
I’m surprised that is a recent discovery. I would think if someone asked a group of kids why someone would get the problem wrong. They would be like well first time seeing shapes.
I personally use TrackJS and find it quite useful. I never heard of Fullstory and it looks interesting. I see that they advertise showing JS errors as well similar to TrackJS. Is it not as good as TrackJS for this? I am curious why you need to use multiple if Fullstory gives that?

I'm just looking at either replacing TrackJS with Fullstory, or keeping both if fullstory is helpful with TrackJS.
The Do Not Call Registry obviously isn't 100% effective, but one possible regulatory move would be to create a similar service for email and phone numbers used in marketing lists, such that possessing a list with the PII of a person who had opted out would subject you to monetary penalties. Then make it incumbent on the company to prove that the person affirmatively consented to sharing their PII.

An attempt at such a concept appears to exist as implemented by a non-governmental group here [1], although that group is voluntary rather than compulsary, and probably doesn't have anything to do with the shadier data brokers.

> and much harder to raise at a reasonable quantity than cows and chickens.

Doubt that. Livestock eats up much more energy than its meat gives back (i.e. you would have to feed 7kg of soy protein to get 1kg of meat protein).

With insects such as Mealworms that's much easier. They basically eat anything and they turn it almost 1:1 into valuable protein. Also you can raise them pretty much everywhere, even in crammed indoor farms without it being cruel.

It's sounded more like you were imagining wild crickets being collected from grass fields or something... which is obviously not a good solution.
Consider a distributed team. This is how we're setting up our dev team. It certainly helps with the talent pool problem.
Eating insects and bugs? Oh gosh, another wave of brainlessness is arriving.

> Wait, does participating in a study as a subject count for credit, or does working on a study count?

There was this course called "measurements and diagnostics" and for that you had to pass the theory/tutorials of the course and also 10 hours of being a participant in research. If you didn't do the 10 hours of participation, you could do them at any moment you want and if you completed it, you immediately passed the course.

My university has about 400 psychology students, so that is 4000 hours worth of people participating per year. And I'm pretty sure that more universities are doing this. In The Netherlands alone I estimate there to be about 40000 psychology students per year and probably about 5 hours of compulsory 'participation' in experimental studies. So a tiny country like The Netherlands is skewing this particular bias about 20000 participant hours per year.

Participating in experimental studies is quite fun (pro tip: go for the fMRI and EEG studies ASAP! ;-) ), but I didn't appreciate how I was forced to do it. I didn't learn too much from those experiments and I felt used. It furthermore is a way to be lazy regarding participant recruitment. I'm pretty sure that some startup could disrupt this particular problem. If you have ideas about it, email me, I'm willing to brainstorm and help you to look for ways to solve this problem.

> Aren't studies explicit about the demographics of their participants? And don't studies that make generalized claims usually control for things like gender and age?

Studies are explicit about the demographics, which is why the WEIRD article could be written. And yes they do control for things like gender and age and in general they are quite careful making those claims. The issue is though as a research field psychology isn't the study of the human mind and human behavior but of WEIRD people their mind and WEIRD people their behavior.

Like a lot of societal issues that are in popular media today, this is a systemic issue. Though I could imagine psychology researchers being like: "Hmm, I could get a representative group or I could just get some psychology students and churn my next paper out twice as fast!"

"Create an account" wall to read more than the headline, nice. Shimmying around this led me to https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/ansfle/google_n..., where the commenting just made my day:

- "So I get what the EU is trying to do with these regulations, but this basically just means Google is paying to break the law at this point."

- "Any law punishable only by fine is legal for the rich."

- "At least it can deduct the fines off its taxable income."
What actually ends up happening is people like you make outlandish truth claims about the dispositions, aspirations and futures of strangers on the internet who they have no context for. And get it it oh so wrong.

People often misconstrue my pragmatic hyper-realism for pessimistic defeatism. It's nothing of the sort.

Nice rhetoric though! I really pictured the rotting corpse at the computer in the basement of the fortune 10 and partying on the beach with models and bottles making the promo video for Fyre festival. You really took me there.

The problem is that without a table lock of some sort you cannot guarantee that all the documents in a store satisfy the schema definition.

The NoSQL solution is basically say, "assume that nothing could ever possibly respect any semblance of a schema and build special cases around everything". It is a very unproductive way of thinking, taking defensive programming to the extreme.

Also, joins will be a necessity for all sorts of data querying. At the end of the day, schemas are a necessity for 98% of all work, whether defined through types or ad-hoc.

No idea why people don't eat more but I like eating deep fried insects e.g. rice grasshopper, silkworm etc. the taste is just as awesome as mainstream the deep fried chicken or french fried sort of things that we have been eating since we was child :) also, where I live they even sell insects as snack packaged food (Exactly like potato chips packaging) in supermarket and minimart these days. I don't mean I eat them as my primary source of protein but rather just eating it as a snack during watching movie at home instead of popcorn.
Well, some certainly do, but as always, it is a game of sampling, so individual errors are not as important as proportions. If we take the article at face value, proportions differ drastically between very different cultures so there must be something in the culture that biases the proportions towards one outcome or the other systematically.

Of course, it's always possible any individual study contained unknown and unaccounted biases. Funding in science is still relatively small, the number of people participating few and science itself is hard.

Might be true, also I want to emphasize that at least in the startup scene I've seen business people discouraging tech people from networking. Probably being afraid that the people would indeed "leave their cubicle".

And yes, I also got almost all of my jobs through my network including LinkedIn, all formal tests I did - even when I passed - were for jobs that I didn't take in the end. Oftentimes because those weren't paid so well or because the perks were lousy. YMMV if you work for one of the big companies.
World's most secure cloud storage preparing for release
Hey guys! Internxt's X Cloud, which offers unprecedented security features, is preparing for release. I've been following them for long, and I'm super happy about this! Internxt encrypts your files in transit and at rest (just like Tresorit, pCloud, Sync). The huge difference is that with X Cloud, only the user holds the file encryption keys. Additionally, X Cloud makes use of distributed technology, meaning that they shard your files and no machine ever holds one single file.

From my brief play with your demo it's a bit of both.

The toolkit is very small and lacks good definition of elements (both visually in that it lacks contrast, and practically in that I have no idea what is clickable or editable).

The page structure isn't that clear either, where are the column headings? And on my widescreen browser window the isn't a limit on horizontal stretch - I have to play with the browser to find a good width. Also, I can expand code, but how do I shrink/hide it?

> Fried spiced bugs are tasty. Raw bugs not so much. I liked fried scorpio. Raw cricket, taste like crap.

Depends on the bug. Different bugs have different flavors. It depends on their diet, too, like many animals. There are lots of ways to prepare them. Some of them are bland, others are very flavorful. I don’t see how this is any different from other foods. As a category, bugs are flavorful and interesting, but again, it depends on the bug and its diet.

> I guess if you take grass, deep fry it and put cummin on it, it tastes ok too.

No. You’re just tasting the fry oil and the spices.

> Even things you need to cook, such as wheet or potatoes, taste alrigh by just being boiled in water.

I think bugs taste better than potatoes or wheat boiled in water.
Honestly, I'm not super well connected so I'm not sure what to make of the comment that the process is opaque.

For example, the PSRC is just one of the groups involved in this kind of funding but it's probably the one most at loggerheads with Duvall on this issue as far as I can tell after an hour or so of looking into it. They have a website and it really is super clear as to what they're doing and where the money is going. They publish the agendas for meetings on a nice calendar with links to minutes and presentations going back several years, and for more recent years have full audio and video recordings of meetings. You literally wouldn't have to step outside of your door to know everything that happened at one of those. To me, that's unbelievable transparency.

Regarding "the powers that be", I'm sure they are. Duvall is pretty small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, and while it does vote on the PSRC it's just one vote of 80-- and that's not even thinking about the myriad other planning bodies involved with roadworks or civil planning in King County. How much say in them Duvall has I can't guess, but if I had to I wouldn't assume that it ran the show.

Regarding calling around, it wasn't very backroom-- I just called the office of my rep on the city council and they emailed me back about two hours later with a bunch of information, most of which was useless and some of which was on point. In the meantime I called a friend who does property development and got the basic lay of the land. Between the two perspectives I got the general sense I've conveyed in these messages and not much else, since I haven't had much cause to think about the roadworks in that area before. I hope that doesn't sound dismissive-- I just don't live there and so haven't thought that much about it.

selling it to the highest bidder is completely unethical

Whilst I don't disagree with the sentiment, "ethics" doesn't appear to have been any kind of motivator for business in general, ever. Look around you. How much of our goods and services have been produced by people working for a wage that is far below even the "living wage" threshold? What kind of life do these people live? What is their standard of living? How many of these products inflict extreme damage on the environment in some form, either directly or indirectly through the fossil fuels used and CO2 released in their production?

I strongly feel that "ethics" should become an overriding factor in where we are going as a species. But I don't agree that the place to start crying about ethics is some guy that finds problems in the product of a company with an insanely large cash reserve who's current "financial woes" are measured in "we are making a few billion dollars profit per quarter less then expected"

Apple can cry me a fucking river. It is on them to produce quality and secure products, instead of trying to squeeze every last cent of "cost reduction" out of every last element of their supply chain to the detriment of their user base. It isn't like they sell budget products, in almost all cases, Apple are the most expensive option for getting anything done.

Bug bounty programs are nothing new, and can be an effective avenue to increase the security and reliability of your products. It isn't like this guy is asking for anything outlandish, and he doesn't owe anything to anyone.
Euro/GDPR:
https://gdpr-info.eu/art-4-gdpr/

‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly.

The keyword here is indirectly.

Australia: https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2019C00025

personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

(a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and
(b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.

The keyword here "reasonably identifiable".

So if the purpose of an email hash is to identify me for ads targeting, then it is by definition reasonably identifying me, even if indirectly.

I often have the problem that I am in a VirtualBox VM and want to get a file to the host.

I never found a solution other then to upload it somewhere on the internet and then download it on the host.

Yes, I know you can probably configure something before starting the VM to make VM and host share files.

But I usually want to have them completely sepereated. Only when the need arises to transfer a file, I would like to do so ad hoc.

Is there a solution?

As a photographer for as long as I can remember and traveled the globe to so many exotic places in wild contexts, I just shed a tear reading your comment because it brought to realization something I have always had trouble understanding in my relations with others, and how they understand, or relate, with what I do.

I encourage you to question your app comparison idea. Programmers rarely come up with the best apps, and phtotographer who know every technical detail abut cameras are likewise not usually very good photographers. The product and the production are separate issues, and the job is in finding a poetry in them. Poetry is music with words. The music comes first, and the words give it a shape, like an orchestra. In the case of photography, your eye comes first. There is no experience; only sight. Only visual sight. and the camera gives it a shape.

I have never thought of it like you. For me, the photograph always begins in my mind, already as a photograph. In fact, for me, the camera is only in the way. The camera offers no benefit or opportunity; only problems to contend with. The photo exists before the camera comes out of the bag, and the only reason to use the camera is to share that photo with some one else.

I do not have experiences. There is no “experience”, as you say. There is only opportunities to create photographs, but until I have the photograph in my mind, there is nothing to shoot.

I have been in many situations with people in which they got upset with me for leaving my camera in my bag. Whatever their interest, they would not understand why I was not shooting photos in said situation. The opposite is also very common, in which they don’t understand why I would be. Reading your comment just clarified to me the problem. I can’t believe I never understood this before.

It’s funny to me how Instagram has popularized my way of experiencing the world, but in a social context. I spent half my life doing what these Instagrammers are doing and never felt bad for a second. Travel for the photos! Why not? I never felt a lick of shame. But I was building and creating photographs, not a social network. I guess that’s the difference.

I was just thinking. If they gave me this test back in the '90s, but replaced it with a Pokeball and the face of a character from the Pokemon show, I'd probably have done better too.

Also, they would have put my mind somewhat at ease, I think.

I wonder how much of the inability to answer some questions is actually down to feeling slightly intimidated by the onslaught of questions, their sterile aura, not knowing the person presenting them, etc...
