>That's such a strange attitude. Yes, reputation matters, but there was a time when gorhill was unknown and had none.

And in that case, I wouldn't have installed it. It's the same reason I install ublock over the dozens of other adblockers on AMO or chrome store.

>As far as I can tell, you're just ignorant of this extension, and assuming it's untrustworthy because of your ignorance of its trustworthiness (and likely some preexisting bias).

For me not necessarily "ignorance", it's a combination of: a) brand new website (to me); and b) immediate prompt for additional permissions (via an extension install). It's the same reason I wouldn't for example, lend $50 to some stranger who walked up to me, even if he was someone "trustworthy" (eg. King of Liechtenstein).

>Isn't it blindingly obvious? They want to put user-friendly reputation-indicators on the page, without making their users go though a lot of extra hassle. This is a fairly common use case services that provide reputation ratings (e.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fakespot-analyze-f.... for another example).

>If I had to guess, the main audience for this isn't people with good media literacy skills, it's people who tend to gullibly believe sketchy websites (and who have friends or relatives with good media literacy skills who want to help them).

Sure, an extension is more user friendly, but make it mandatory when a web page would do fine? This is the "install our app" nag taken to the next level and reeks of developers forcing "what's best" upon users.
> Once I realized this, it never came back again.

This was the same for me with RSI. It was simply the act of realizing it was psychosomatic and caused by stress that made it disappear completely.
And you really think you couldn't explain that to him? There's a large difference between what people intuitively expect and what they can understand if told about it.

IQ is a terrible example. It can be trained, with some examples of increases of up to 30 points. It regresses to the mean. Correlation between IQ of parents and children is lower at birth and increases up until around 18 (Wilson Effect). At younger influences it is strongly influenced by your environment. And not too long ago it was found that all the genes associated with IQ were false positives.
But it involves DuckDuckGo!

"Funding secured."

Also, your assertion that there is no corroboration is wrong, the new whistleblower Sean Gouthro is corroborating Tripp's claims. This behavior is also well in line with Elon Musk's established pattern of paranoid behavior in surveiling employees.
They charge everyone the same toll, though.

And why should it change just because Apple introduced a competitor? Apple charges Spotify the same before and after they launched Apple Music.
With some of the huge anti-trust fines levied against Google by the EU, this seems to me like Google trying to support that they are not a monopoly in search.
CEF is still Chromium related, it’s not that much different.

As far as resources usage goes, Spotify is definitely worse. If you browse through a few artists and albums, memory usage quickly soars pst 500MB and can reach 1GB, which is ridiculous. iTunes doesn’t do this at all and hovers at 200MB in most cases.

Spotify loads wholly separate copies of all JavaScript dependencies for each major sub component on screen. Efficiency is not even remotely that dev team’s strong point.

Their point is that Apple app could do that and it was unfair to block other apps to be able to do the same.
Exactly. The author considers the fact they the official images are built from source as a negative. Though that’s what allows them to actually generate updated images.

They mention trust of who’s building the images, which is valid, but then using `apk install nginx` means you still have to trust that package maintained. It’s really just moving trust from Docker to Alpine.

It’s fair that it’s a reduction of entities that need be trusted since they are using Alpine as their operating system already, however they are still running Docker binaries...

It’s pretty neat to be able to say they don’t use Docker Hub for anything, but it doesn’t seem to offer any advantage.
I used "you" in the wrong way here. You == qualified medical people, such as in the article. Not you == oneself/one.

I agree that Tesla has more credibility. That was not my argument. I believe that Tesla will deliver the Model Y.

But I have enough hope in the Rivian that it will affect my opinion of the Model Y. Until the Rivian actually fails, and if the promised release dates are comparable to the Model Y, then the Model Y has to compete with it for mindshare. Can Model Y match the promised range of the Rivian? Will the prices be comparable? Passenger count, off-road capabilities, comfort, ...

As long as Rivian can dangle a timeframe close to the Model Y, plenty of people will hold off on the Y purchase if the Rivian promises more. As the release date gets closer, Rivian might slip, but right now they compete.

I'm just noting that I wouldn't have expected Tesla to have such a competitor yet. For now, it's a competition of promises. But whether it's Rivian, or Ford, or whoever, the competition of reality is almost close enough to taste.

Almost...

The difference is that Netscape Navigator was a paid application. Microsoft was bundling their product, which was free, with their OS. They OS was dominating the market, which meant that majority of people didn't have to buy from Netscape. They were forcing out the competition.

When Apple, Google and Amazon are releasing unrelated services into their platforms it isn't to starve out competitors but just expand their business. They aren't, as far as I know, drastically undercutting the prices of their services to levels that aren't sustainable for other companies to compete.

Anything you do in Chrome is reported to google. Not necessarily the data, but the meta-data.
It's probably not as sinister as I make it out to be but I can think of a few items of data that differ between using DDG's native UI and that of the Chrome search bar: the headers Chrome sends to DDG are different, and the autocomplete results that come back from DDG can now be monitored
Analytics could be done using JavaScript. (Or maybe some other way of triggering a request?)

Alternately, depending on your perspective, it could improve privacy, by making it easier to create web apps that don't phone home and disclose your IP address. Perhaps distributed on a DVD? (I don't know if it supports full offline access.)

Yes, reading stale content is possible. But this model of distribution is not new, it's how ordinary software distribution works. It's like downloading software from a mirror site, but the signature is automatically checked.

Or consider what Cloudflare does and that you need to give them use of your private key to make it work. It's a trade-off.
People were using Ruby and Python (and before that Perl and PHP) on the backend in many cases. I think it's likely that those are the kinds of projects which are using JS on the backend now, while the Java and C# people are continuing to do their backends in Java and C#.

One of JavaScript's big advantages over Ruby and Python was performance, both because the standard runtime is faster (JITing JavaScript turned out to be a lot easier than JITing Ruby and Python) and because its fundamentally asynchronous nature was a better match for webservers.

And although NPM sucks in a number of ways, I've always found it easier to use than Python's dependency management.
fyi, we have a name collision of sort with our projects. :)

While there may be evidence that diversity leads to better decision making, this isn't it. It's a marketing piece for a company that sells a decision making co-working platform. Direct from the white paper:

"The study was able to measure when teams made better
decisions by tracking how often the decision maker changed
their mind based on the input of the team. This is presumed to
be a better decision since the Cloverpop process ensures that
decisions are well framed with clear goals, adequate
information and multiple alternatives to avoid groupthink."

In other words, this study defines better decisions as ones which make their product relevant, which unless you're a Cloverpop marketing exec, probably isn't a good metric.

The police report from the "mass shooting" event included two officers accounts of comments from Tesla employees that seem to indicate Tesla had some way of intercepting Tripp's communications. I'll try to find the document on scribd again.

Edit: The police report[1] starting on page 4. I think it's also noteworthy that the person whose comments seemed to indicate Tesla was tracking Tripp's phone was Gourthro who has just filed a whistleblower tip (supposedly) corroborating Tripp's allegations.

Antitrust and PR.

Antitrust angle is obvious. They want to appear they aren’t the only game in town. Esp when you have people like Warren making (hollow) antitrust campaign noise.

> In comparison to our peers the U.S. is under taxed. The OECD average is 34.2%. What makes the average person feel overtaxed is the combination of federal income tax, state income tax (where it occurs), along with stagnant wages and high medical care costs. The U.S. spends far more per capita on healthcare than any other OECD nation.

Its really difficult to compare. Healthcare is a big difference, if we relabeled health insurance as a tax, US tax rates would be very high.
I would expect to see a small bump in the stats [1] which given this is DDG's main source of revenue is absolutely a good thing.

"Duckduckgo is one of our main rivals." Is a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy for Google. They need to amp up DDG's legitimacy to ward off accusations of antitrust. Credibility, legitimacy and awareness are really the only things DDG needs to reach a wider audience and gain greater adoption.

>That should be covered by the one time fee that developers pay to Apple in order to publish apps into the App Store

> When you discover that some "race" is underrepresented in some field, it's completely possible that a major cause is that the median in that arbitrarily defined racial category is below the median in another arbitrarily defined racial category.

It's possible, yes. It's also possible that perceptions of race influence the subjective decisions that drive those outcomes. How would you determine causality?

Eg, you could try sending employers identical resumes with "black sounding" and "white sounding" names and measuring callback rates. This has been done: https://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/mar/15...).

There are likely many factors in racial disparities, but this appears to be one of them.

It always surprised me that, back in the heydey of spam, few (if any) mailing lists required signatures for e-mails sent.

Most of them were subscriber-only lists, and many were targeted at a highly technical audience, new subscribers were rare, and spam was not particularly targeted.

I'm not sure how many person-hours per week was spent by moderators hand-filtering spam, and it definitely increased the delay for posts to appear.

It doesn't make as much sense today with DKIM and friends, automated spam filtering, plus the general volume of spam is lower, but seemed like such a big win back then.

Quite credible actually.

Edit (now that the above post has been edited): I agree that the lack of an unequivocal follow-up to the SuperMicro story -- that is saying neither "we admit we screwed up" or "we stand by the main points of our original story" or even "we need more time to look into this pls" -- is quite troubling.

Still, you have to look at their broader track record, compare them to other outlets in their weight class (nearly all of which, like the NYT in particular, have indulged in many more, and far greater follies). That and the fact that what they're reporting in this particular case is consistent with what we know to expect from Tesla/Musk after various other incidents.
It's an abbreviation of Duck, Duck, Goose. They don't really explain why they chose to name it after that game.

Considering the vaporware nature of the Rivian at this point, it makes you wonder if it's existence is merely to pressure Tesla and steal mind/market share from them without ever producing anything.

It sounds like you read a lot of articles about why JS is bad, but don't have a lot of experience with it.

* 10-day design? Nobody is using Javascript 1.0 anymore.

* Typing is available to various extents thanks to Flow and/or Typescript.

* Slowness... I don't know what you're referring to. Javascript isn't slow.

* null vs undefined. What about them? They are two different things with different meanings.

* Dependency hell. I assume you refer to the many small modules on NPM with dependencies on other modules. Not sure what the problem here is per se. Avoid them if you don't like dependencies.

* NPM insecurity - what?

I like JS on the backend because it's a nice, flexible language to work with, with a healthy and cheap (cost-wise) ecosystem. I get a lot of stuff done very quickly, and I can run my stuff pretty much everywhere.

That's not comparable unless we have all information about every position the balls have been in from 1960 to the present time. Theoretically plausible, but probably not feasible.

The simple model of a ball shifting from one point to another is a fair macro analogy because, like the quantum system described here, we realistically have all information about the ball as it moved from point A to point B.
no, but to be fair it's pretty confusing.
