Hi, due to few factually incorrect posts, Cliqz is often seen as a privacy invasive tool (at least in some circles), on the contrary we care a lot about users' privacy and continuously develop technologies to help users and other developers adopt privacy by design. Yes, this is sometimes seen as a problem internally and it's very disheartening when people label the products without actually taking a look at what it's doing. There are a lot of people at Cliqz who care very deeply about privacy and we put a lot of hard work into what we do, to make sure it's done right. But as long as we get a chance to explain and discuss what we are doing and why, it is not "too tainted".

Those are hardware switches and don't rely on software to operate.
I agree that I've written it to be combative, but we aren't talking about rust vs python, we're talking about several hundred people dead so far. Still, I definitely understand where you are coming from and I wish I had the ability to filter my emotions more
If Boeing were to ground the aircraft, wouldn't that be seen as admitting there is a fault/safety issue with the design, and put Boeing on the hook for compensation payments to airlines?

A number of Boeing 787s were grounded last year due to faulty Rolls-Royce engines, and it has cost RR hundreds of millions in compensation - to cover the airlines costs of leasing replacement aircraft, for example.

However, you're quite right that if Boeing knows about an issue and aren't taking the boldest possible steps to ensure the safety of passengers, then the potential reputational risk is even greater.
Ah yes there's that weird design where there's a "movie clip editor" that is a totally different tool from the sequence editor. Why can't I import a clip into the sequence and then edit it? Very confusing.
Agreed. I just forwarded this to our designer. If this works well enough, we might end up with a few slick effects on our new react website. We've been using css transitions for a while and they add some playfulness to the UX. But this is way more impressive.
Also, balanced software architectures designed by balanced people will continue to "alternate hard and soft layers", as the traditional precept says, in the form of convenient and easy to learn DSLs and dynamic language scripting layered above a dependable and unchanging (and therefore usually compiled and high performance) application core.

In related news, people will continue to choose the right tools for the job, for example by preferring functional languages only when managing I/O and state is trivial enough.
Maybe it will be possible to compile Sqlite to wasm and then using indexdb as a backing store for it. In which case perhaps a good enough polyfill would be accessible to Firefox.
Have you ever paid $100 per impression on an ad campaign? You're mistaken anyway. $100 was the total budget, not per impression.
For some people $5 is a lot of money. I sympathize.

I get the same calories and satisfaction from the food and drink as I would from the bigger name store items, but it's cheaper.
For many sensors especially critical ones there are multiple independent ones (like indicated airspeed). If they deviate there are standard procedures to determine which one(s) are faulty. For IAS you basically set a determined thrust at a determined pitch. Then you have a table which gives you IAS for the altitude you are at. This will determine the faulty pitot tube. I think for other sensors there are similar procedures.

nah... after working in Internet Marketing I am convinced the only way to not be tracked is to simply not use any device or credit card.

That situation is so rare someone meeting those criteria could be tracked by the lack of that data
> Yes. But if they are THAT concerned they would be dropping Prime and shopping elsewhere.

You know and I know that that's not true. People stick with things because of inertia, convenience, network effects, … To use a tech analogy, many people back in the day hated Microsoft's stranglehold on the desktop and server operating system market but very few initially changed to MacOS or Linux. To this day Microsoft still has a stranglehold on the consumer desktop market, the difference being that smartphones and tablets and chromebooks (browser appliances) have given people alternatives.

No, for me (a European) lots and lots refers to the many people outside of the US that would like to see non-US companies taking a bigger slice of the tech pie. Of course Americans are going to have less of a problem with US companies dominating the web.

I hold no firm political allegiance other than it is clear the establishment is happy with the status quo, anybody who promises to tackle concentrations of power in either big media, big tech, big finance, big you name it, gets my approval. If we spent some time talking about concrete issues and policies I bet we'd agree on a lot of things!
Overworked South Koreans Send Themselves to ‘Fake Prison’ for $90 a Night
Playing devils advocate here - why would I really need that?

In the EU you have tap and go for small amounts "buying a coffee, bus ticket" and chip and pin for larger items s using your debit or credit card.

Why not write people a cheque or just use cash - the problems with using internet banking and phones (you have heard of the ss7 problems)

If the Head of the Bank of England doesn't use online banking ill do the same as her.
A better analogy would be a bar owner evicting someone who politely disagreed with them, while simultaneously allowing a fascist group to drink, telling punters who complain about them he just serves drinks and will serve them to anyone who he legally can do.
If that's true, that sounds like a thorough nightmare. Nothing gets me more heated than when an 85% perfect design with decades of real world use is replaced with something that is demonstrably broken + more expensive, simply because of corporate groupthink gone wrong

Thank you for this insight, I will research more deeply
Doesn’t this seem to imply that cryonics aren’t that farfetched? If 20,000yo cells that are badly damaged can be almost-revived from being on ice, couldn’t a well-frozen brain and body be restored?

Obviously there is some difference betweeen thawing a few cells in the substrate of another organism; and reviving a whole being, but the chance doesn’t seem to be zero.
I mean something where the Apache authors get paid based on Apache usage by cloud customers (as an example).
Glad to hear that. If you need anything, ping me on github, i'm open to add functionality.
It can mistrigger on phrases like "take a left on" or "they got a Lexus". My parents have one and get a kick out of the misactivations.
Anecdotally a developer friend of mine strongly suspects, most people, are like him and not actually using these home speakers very much.

I’ve been working on a an Audio App that reads any articles to you for iOS/Android and planned to bring it to the Echo and he seems to suggest my efforts are totally wasted. Although their market reach seems to be massive, likely related to their cheap price, not surprised by this article that their actual usage is incredibly low. Most people seem to buy them and then forget about them.

As a shameless self plug, if you would like to check out my app that reads articles to you using beautiful sounding AI/ML, find it here:

Maybe the problem is with the entire concept of distinct, discrete apps. Voice as an “interface” is based around conversation, not functional blocks and clickable items. A truly enjoyable and useful Alexa would have a conversation with you - even if a practical and transactional one - and the various functions and “apps” would be woven seamlessly into that, just as a human assistant might learn a new skill and work it helpfully into the conversation.

Is the web public or private? People want it both ways but you cannot have both at the same time. This distinction governs policy, security, and enforcement and as result are all less clear than they should be. While this is nebulous the problems spelled out in this letter will continue without serious resolution.

Compare that to email, which is inherently private and as a result far more simple to provide laws and policy around. Email is not always secure, but the platform and concerning laws are very clear.
Exactly. I've had endless arguments about that exact point with shared_ptr. IMHO, shared_ptr should be used as a last resort, where ownership of something truly is shared. Use unique_ptr for everything else.

Just using it for convenience for things like callbacks will lead to weird, hard-to-debug bugs in more complex code.

Because https mitigates their attack vectors as a mitm. They can't steal the password since it's not sent in plaintext, and for similar reasons can't deliver/inject malicious Javascript. They could collect timestamps though and scrape header information from http connections to other sites.
I would be very upset to see Firefox fade into oblivion. My at home workflow has Firefox baked in: separate containers for G Suite, Twitter, HN, for paid web apps, etc.

I don’t think that Chrome supports anything like Firefox containers, right?
Yes, they'll blow lots of money on renovations while ignoring work-from-home demands of employees. Meanwhile, the folks in charge of dredging their internal systems up from the 90's are working on skeleton crews. It's just mindless corporate trend following.
Define "acting unethical" - since on a technical level you control what you render and what you send. Now if you routinely start hacking into everything to erase IP traces that is unethical but literally nobody does that.

I didn't mean to say Russia is a third world country .but I live in a third world country which closely follows Russia's rules.Apology to all Russians misinterpreting my comment :)

As for the complete nonsense you have something working for 5 years suddenly it gets news coverage with no significant usage increase and is blocked . I have no source but this is the exact case where I live. there's something ,like a publicity threshold.It sounds silly and irrational because it is silly and irrational.
Or perhaps I am wrong and some experts were analyzing protonmail for 5 years and now came to the rational conclusion to block it.
I would highly recommend mailbox.org. Based in Germany, their offering is similar but cheaper than ProtonMail. They are much more flexible as well, and allow for better security.

If you want to use the webmail client with javscript PGP (a la ProtonMail), that's supported, but they also allow you manage your own PGP keys and support using Thunderbird or Mailvelope. Additionally you can connect via a Tor Hidden Service if you want and they can PGP encrypt incoming plaintext messages if you want them to.
Terms are often not clear, but easily used to justify shutting someone down, e.g.

"Sky Broadband is for private use by you and members of your household only. It must not be used for any activities not reasonably expected of someone using Sky Broadband for domestic purposes."
> Consensus among whom, if not the electorate?

"the electorate" is usually 51% percent who are often regulationg against the other 49%. That is a bad way to decide about the future of humanity. wide consensuses also ensure a low level or regulation.
Good grief. I use Chrome, Firefox, and Safari across Mac, Windows, and Linux. None of them make me think, "Oh wow, this is so 'slow' that I'm going to switch." Is there some objective rating which compares this, and shows Chrome is faster than all competition in every situation? I've just Googled this (ha!) and it would seem that different rendering engines optimize for different things, and there's no clear winner. But plenty of sites want to tell me that Chrome is "the best," so I got that going for me.
Oh it is dysfunctional for them too they just don't care
Chocolate and baked goods are generally better anywhere in Western Europe that is not the UK. Good small UK bakers are getting few and far between. :(

Aldi just has the advantage of not having the tasteless junk from what Tesco or Asda laughably calls an in store bakery, or the inedible slimy crap that Kraft now pretends is Cadbury or Green and Black chocolate. Aldi own brands just seem to retain some memory of bread needing to have taste, chocolate like chocolate etc.

That said, their 70 and 85%, chilli and single origin aren't really low end. I don't think I miss out on much taste, or quality, just some flavour options.
Its the truth even though most employees wont directly admit it is the $$ that is the key infuencer.
What did you invest in? When I briefly checked these things they were mostly targeted to an American audience, with their on average well performing stock markets. EU markets seem to be a lot worse.

Those are by far my killer features why i use it and why i like it.

The last two companies I've worked for used træfik and haproxy, and just this last weekend I converted my home clusters from nginx to træfik.

nginx is fine, but there are now other options that work just as well.
A competent session manager. The old "Session Manager" died in the transition to Quantum, and several developers of quasi-replacements, who acknowledge they don't come very close to it, maintain a list of two dozen or more bugs and missing features compared to Chrome they need to do better, like Chrome's Session Buddy.

If I couldn't simply copy my entire configuration as I upgrade versions of Linux I'd be making a painful one time change completely to Chrome and Chromium, which I'd really rather avoid.

The bottom line is that Mozilla let Firefox's market share decline so much that the only two reasons people kept using it were it's not Chrome, and the extension ecosystem. Which is reported to have included a superior debugger, which indirectly made sure a lot of sites implicitly supported Firefox because they were developed using it.

Users don't give the slightest damn that keeping the old XPI ecosystem was hard, and had serious security issues. A huge number of extensions that they depended on have become roadkill on the information superhighway, even if some made the transition with significant changes. Making Firefox into an inferior version of Chrome means for most that the only reason to use it is that it's not Chrome.
Considering we don't yet have much information on the cause of the most recent crash this is a hell of an assertion to make. If they ground things at the drop of a hat that is also reckless.

They'll know in a couple of days what happened since they already have the recorders. With one crash every ~6mo (someone can crunch the numbers and get the naive probability of a crash per flight) and every pilot of a MAX8 now on the lookout for possible problems the public is not seriously put in danger by another week or so of these aircraft flying. Imagine if Boeing grounded these and it turned out the second crash was pilot error. That would be a footnote that would get 10sec in the news months from now. Do you want to be forever known as the guy who tanked Boeing's reputation over a false positive? That has costs to society too. And before you say yes remember that it's much easier to say you'll give your lottery winnings to charity before winning the jackpot.
It's not considered private information, I guess. There's also exceptions to gdpr for laws and regulation, so I assume they're pretty well covered, being /the government/ and all. This data is published by the tax authority.

And it isn't something new, it's been like this since post-WW2.
Are Uyghurs typically very religious? If so wouldn’t this backfire and cause radicalization? I’m guessing China is prepared to engage in genocide if their current stategy fails. They appear to believe that Europe and the U.S. can’t afford to make too much of a ruckus over this.
Amazon walks back vendor purge as sellers look to reduce platform dependence
This is right. No none has yet written “The Design of Everyday Things” for voice interaction. We just don’t know what works yet so we are redoing what was done before.
This has been true even for full-sized consoles until very recently.

Up to the PS3, consoles used to have dedicated hardware which required devs to understand it fully, in order to be able to extract all available performance.

This is one of the reason why late titles were, as a general rule, technically head and shoulders above compared to the launch ones, as the devs acquired experience in that particular hardware.

The Xbox kind of changed that with the "PC-in-a-box" architecture, which made the HW much more predictable but with less margin of improvement over time.

I've worked in a Scala shop, it was probably the lowest performing team of developers I've ever worked with coupled with the highest amounts of bragging, theoretic talk, elitism and winging about other languages, especially dynamic langues. Is this a common theme across all Scala / Haskell communities or something ?

I witnessed many times where a solution could've been solved much more efficiently using a simple Ruby or Python service of no more than a few hundred lines but the suggestion was scoffed at.

Side note, the ecosystem around Scala seemed horrible, SBT is filth and it seems to lack good libraries for most basic tasks. For something of such advertised greatness it seems there is a lot to dislike about Scala, including dragging around a JVM.
Novelity for sure but i use the timer/alarm clock so frequently, that i will rebuy a new one if the old one breaks.

I use it for:
- I have to go in 1h but i only need 30 minutes to prepare the leave so timer for 30minutes
- Pizza / food
- short nap
- for learning

And quite often.
Wow. I was under the mistaken impression that the devices were more robust than that.

I'm very anti these devices, now I'm even moreso!
Subscription List: Access issue and pull request subscriptions in one place
Too sad that it will "take time".

I worked on 3 projects in Go and in 2 of those generics would have been very useful.

I ended up copy pasting a bunch of functions and changing their types (interfaces would have been even worse in those cases).

There is a library doing that automatically, like c++ templating but worse since it is not part of the compiler.

Combined with anti-features like null pointers, rather stupid and overly verbose error handling and awful dependency management, it makes for a language which often feels hindered by shortsighted oversimplification.

I kind of like the simplicity of Go. But they lobbed too many things over board without having proper replacements.
And repeated dumb stuff from other languages which should be no part of any modern language (Billion Dollar Mistake ect.)
Did Sam Altman make YC better or worse?
Well, one could argue that the ad campaign was made in bad faith. Warrens people knew it would be flagged automatically by fb's algorithms because of the logo. No one at Facebook actually decided to pull the ad. And it wouldn't have been, if it weren't for going against ToS. The damage is done. But very insidious tactic still.

> I'm not sure what you're advocating for exactly

I am not advocating for anything just pointing out that the features atributed to Docker existed before.

> but the systems that the "leading tech companies" originally built were largely VM orchestration systems that required humans to pack software packages into VM images.

Absolutely not. Amazon never had such system. You are confusing Google with all leading tech companies probably.

> Build tooling is an important but orthogonal concern

Is this why the same features set claimed by both things?

Again, what is the problem you are trying to solve with Docker/K8?
False equivalence. Yes, Firefox has screwed up, but the errors were relatively minor compared to the privacy tire fire that Chrome is, and the errors were corrected quickly when pointed out.
Your property, you have the right to do disposal, it is not important to comply with the open source definition.
Now there's a spam filter and suddenly you get all the unreliability that comes with that from email (someone can claim the filter must have blocked it, and there's no proving otherwise).
It's really surprising that a large teleco woudln't even supply their own computers... Do they make people install management software on their personal computers, or just not care?
I think the whole voice activation hype inflated itself where people are naturally wanting to see the next big thing and of course people used this as an example - the title says it all.

Furthermore we need to look at what makes voice less restrictive and that’s making it instant. They are still reliant on it being cloud / web based which creates a lag and makes it awkward and nothing like ‘talking to something or someone ‘
Not that much, actually. Painting the walls costs the same regardless of the color. And buying one massage chair per department is certainly cheaper than purchasing it on your own.
No problem... lessons learned the hard way as a people manager.

Some companies forget the humans are more than work, and treating them like automatons has negative impacts on the business and the people. Just as zero tolerance is bad in other cases, it's almost always bad in employment scenarios.
Actually, how to send money to end users at scale is a terrific problem. Scenario is something like you run a federated "micro-work" site and you want to compensate ~1M. Ideally, what we want is something like Square Cash for small business with an API.

That is even worse; they are sorta implying whatever is wrong with the max is also wrong with the 777x.

They need to ground the max so they control for how long for and what is needed to clear them.
There are excellent texts and videos on math available now. I can go back to the stuff I sort of learnt in school and college and really dig into it. Just this week a learnt a couple of tricks in algebra I never heard of before.

My kids have this incredible tool I didn't have and they will have a better education because of it.

So there's something for everyone.
As a counterpoint, thanks to an Echo in most rooms of my house and Hue lights everywhere I almost never touch a light switch. Likewise I generally use the Echo timers instead of oven timers for cooking, and I like using them as Spotify speakers. And I can't remember the last time I left my house before I asked the Echo about the weather. Sometimes my wife even uses it as an intercom if I'm in my office, but I concede that feature is a bit janky.

Whenever my wife and I go away we usually remark to each other that it suddenly feels very backwards to have to do things without the Echo. That might not be the best word, but it definitely feels like we're missing something integral to our home life when we don't have them around.

That being said, it's expensive to set up Hue lights everywhere and an Echo in every room. My setup might be one of the reasons I use it so much.
