Google today is a single gateway where business go to sell and users go to do anything. Its a monopoly power. Nothing will change until there are better alternatives. Binq is big but stupid. DDG is too small. Apple, Amazon, Facebook, CDNs should all create good search engines, and allow SE aggregators to live.
Sort of like guilty by association.
>If someone is an actual security expert, I'd like to know why (1) is an acceptable practice.

So your issue here is that Google tells you whether it's a valid email address before you enter in a password?

You could validate email addresses yourself by sending out a ton of emails to different permutations of *@gmail.com and seeing which ones come back as undeliverable. An email address on its own isn't inherently private so this doesn't seem to be a security risk to me unless I'm missing something.
Thanks! I learned a very useful new concept. I wonder if there’s a collateral loss of freedom, too. For example when people from the west are against Google or Apple censoring stuff, we lose all of their services—because they either censor or get censored-resulting in a loss of freedom unrelated to political contents.

I use IdeaVim at my day job and can confirm it's gotten better. There are still some rough edges, especially around handling movements like L, M, and H which don't always go where you expect them to. And some operations like undo don't play well with the vim commands such as undo.

And yes, I completely agree about switching between vim and ideavim for different languages, the experience is very different and the sight differences are very noticeable.
That's not a very long list. Several of them fall into his original categories. Incitement, fighting words and child pornography into the second, false statements into the first. (Or more like the first falls into false statements, but libel really is a central example of false statements not being protected.)

The big one he missed was obscenity, but that's somewhat understandable given the frequency with which "obscenity laws" get struck down rather than upheld.

And the others aren't categories of speech. You can't use someone else's copyrighted work, but you can convey the exact same information in your own words. Government employees et al can't say certain things, but anyone else can say the same things.
> If this is an Electron Application, would it not be somewhat easy to upload a hosted version to a website? Even if this hosted version was "read-only", it would still be a good indicator of what I might be downloading.

That would be neat. I'd take a look at a web version, but an not really in need of a budgeting app so I'm not inclined to download anything.

Also there isn't a premade Linux version.

As someone who did computational biophysics, my opinion is that MD is meaningless and those plots don't tell you anything of value. Most likely, the senior author is friends with a MD expert and wanted an excuse to put the friend on the paper.

What's your metric? And are these offline assistants smartphone apps? NLP is expensive computing, so it'd make sense for those to do poorly. And this doesn't even have to strictly be offline; You can have your data processed online in a privacy-respecting way, so long as you actually know what's going on under the hood and have control over the data.

I would be inclined to read past the headlines if I received it as plain text, via email. I might even pay for it if that's all it was, and contained absolutely no ads or even links.

That said, I don't know that I'd actually read it, since most news strikes me as obscenely polemical, even when it feigns objectivity. Even the New York Times rubs me the wrong way in this regard.

An interesting postgres oddity I ran into a few years ago that isn't about counting but is in a similar arena is how under very specific circumstances, "SELECT *" is significantly faster than "SELECT one_column" despite the conventional and normally well advised advice that you should only select the columns you need.

I really wonder if someone could start a GitHub repo mirroring, e.g., news articles that are censored by various governments. Could be a nice way of making censorship difficult.

If you're still working with VS & Resharper and your projects allow you to, have a look at Rider from JetBrains. It supports the same color scheme & hotkeys as VS + Resharper out of the box so the transition is very smooth, you'll be productive in minutes after installing it. Also, if you were using VsVim, you can use IdeaVim for Rider and in addition you can install KJump plugin (it's what easy-motion is for vim). Since setting this up, rider & webstorm have become my favorite developer tools I have ever worked with and I feel they are superior to VS & VSCode (the things I was using before).

In principle I don't see any reason why this couldn't be made to work with any browser/site through the WebAuthn standard. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if that's exactly what Google's doing under the hood.
The FT works well for me.

I subscribe to both the FT and the Economist precisely because slow news is what they do.

The FT tends to studiously avoid clickbait, avoid reporting every detail of 'this politician said that' and goes straight for the hard analysis of what it means.
Is looks like Google just needs AMP to be able to display other sites' pages on its site and mobile app. But I don't understand why they just don't take a "Reader mode" implementation from Firefox to produce text-only pages instead of making publishers develop a second version of their sites.

I've had my head buried in software post-mortems lately.

I particularly appreciate the treatment DevOps Handbook gives them as far as spelling out Systems are Complex, there will be many contributing factors, you need to take in multiple perspectives to fully illustrate what happened.

This lines up with the article's analysis although the conclusion is a bit sensationalist, I'm loving the long list of 'other techniques' they present right before it.

5 Whys should really be considered a place to start and encourage people to go deeper into failure analysis, then work towards more formal methods.
It's a common trope, unfortunately. Same arguments were trotted out in defense of serfdom in Russia, once abolitionist talk became more mainstream.

I used dvorak for a bit.
I didn't remap HJKL, since JK were still beside each other, and H was to the left of L (albeit, not on the same row).

In terms of transferring Vim 'motor memory' from a qwerty layout to a dvorak layout, IMO it meant focussing more on an added indirection of "which letters" rather than "which fingers where".

> Then there’s users begging Google to allow them to use more than 50kb of CSS. Yes, most site’s CSS is bloated. But 50kb is an absurdly small, arbitrary limit. Stylesheets these days handle resets for normalising behaviour between browsers, grid systems so you can lay things out without resorting to murder-suicide, and responsive queries so that your site looks great on mobile and desktop (and tablet and landscape and Android and iPhone.) These essential components will take you a decent way to to the 50kb already.

As far as I know, the 50KB limit is per page. I can't see why a typical single page should require that much CSS where the CSS included is actively used on that page. If you're going to include e.g. the CSS for every Bootstrap component on every page you're easily going to go over the limit but the whole point of the limit is to discourage you from doing that.

The OP article should only require a modest amount of CSS I think, same for most pages. People here hate on AMP a lot, but "avoid excessive CSS" is a good guideline in my opinion.
Basically an advertisement.
Another thing might be that this way Google can observe user's behaviour: how much time they spent reading the article, what part did they read carefully etc. which is only possible if the user stays on Google's domain.
Right, so maybe scarcity of trustworthiness, or trust metrics/signals is more accurate. Plenty of popularity/click metrics, but how often do we really want to know what the masses think about complex nuanced topics?
Thanks, that's a helpful explanation.
No it means you should analyse your motivations for doing so carefully. If all you do is read it to get angry at something, or dismiss the opinion of whoever is speaking, then why read/watch it at all?

I'd go further and say if you're doing it just so you can give a hot take on politics to someone nearby, or have your opinions validated by them then also stop doing that (it's hard) and be mindful that whoever they are may actually disagree with you but isn't interested in having their views criticised as a part of someone's entertainment schedule or to be lectured too.
Unless I've misunderstood, you can use splits to show multiple buffers in Vim without any plugins.

I had run it a few times before until I felt it wasn't a coincidence

But just now I ran it until I got bored of running it, alternating between amp/non-amp, chrome on Windows 10 (normally I'm Chromium on Fedora, but let's try mainstream)

AMP: 75 90 91 91 91 89 80 91 (avg 87.25)

Non-AMP: 95 95 96 96 95 94 96 (avg 95.29)

So I feel pretty confident about that. Also appears more consistent (and apparently faster than the amp cached one somehow - probably because it wasn't prefetched by Google)
I joined a company where my offer letter had two salary options: A higher salary with less stock, or a lower salary with higher stock. (It wasn't a very large difference.)

About a year later, we were sold, and the payout from the stock did not justify the salary difference. In order to justify the difference, the payout needed to be about 20x.

In a public place I expect some level of privacy intrusions. CCTV cameras aren't so bad in public as long as the recordings are only stored for a few weeks and the data is not analyised unless there is reason to believe it contains evidence.

For example its acceptable to access the video to prove someone stole from your store but it is not acceptable to use facial recognition on your cctv to see who your best customers are.

Chinese people are too many compared to the resources affordable to them. The US people are in the contrary position. That difference is the source of many differences between the two country.

And in this case, only a handle of companies in China offer work-life balance, most of which are owned by foreign capital (e.g. Google, Microsoft and IBM). They are very hard to get in, even harder than their US counterparts, because of the much smaller headcount and much larger pool of candidates.

Remote editing, I mean using the local computer's emacs to edit file on the remote computer, where emacs does all the work of fetching and syncing the file (using ftp, ssh etc) back to remote. I think vim can do something similar too.

Motion in Vi is based on treating the home row of the keyboard as arrow keys. H, J, K, and L are left, down, up, and right. They aren't mnemonics, and so scrambling them around (Dvorak) is just doubly confusing.
What do you think would be the unintended consequences of the policy changes you mentioned? It seems possible that reducing inequality could have some side effects that might make everyone worse off -- less equality because everyone makes significantly less.

That's a bit circular. The carousel predates AMP, so they somehow knew how to manage this in the past.

On the other hand, I once worked for a large well known company that actually gave me a pension. I can't remember what it was, but I think something like 5-10% of my total compensation went into this pension plan, which was essentially a mutual fund (although you could opt for long stock in the actual company instead). It took 3 years to fully vest. I stayed 5. When I left they sent me a letter literally saying that they thought the cost for me to hire a lawyer to get my money back would be more than the amount of money I could retrieve so they were going to keep the money. By that time I was already so annoyed with them that I concluded they were right: it wasn't worth my effort to extract a few tens of thousands of dollars from them (hey, this was a long time ago -- salaries were a lot smaller then ;-) ). Six months later the company dissolved under allegations of accounting fraud. The upper management actually got the bankruptcy court to allow them to use the entire pension fund as "retention bonuses" so that the company would have a chance of succeeding under their illustrious reign. That was an eye-opener. I had a few friends who had worked there for 20 odd years and were counting on that pension. Eventually I think they were able to sue the bankrupt company to get a portion of the money back. Of course, none of the fraud allegations went to court and the executives retained their retention bonuses (after having done nothing to save the company).
I feel you are reinventing definitions. The “same tax” would be very literally giving up the same value. The only common definition of value in society is currency - that is literally its role, to serve as a common measure (and storage) of utility. It does not confer net utility in and of itself (goods and services do), and therefore this argument of marginality doesn’t apply to it.

I understand that goods and services acquired with currency can experience diminishing returns. But unless you think the rich and poor should be paying different amounts for every good and service (for example a cup of coffee), then I don’t think this is a consistent, principled argument.

And once again, let me point out that GP’s comment on a flat tax would STILL mean the rich give up more value than the poor, and it would still not be a truly ‘fair’ tax. And on a side note, ‘progressive’/‘regressive’ are made up terms used to play rhetorical games by leveraging the negative connotation of the term ‘regressive’. A better set of neutral terms would be ‘uniform’ or ‘fair’ or ‘flat’ versus ‘non-uniform’ or ‘unfair’ or ‘graduated’.

> Ads aren't preloaded in AMP pages.

That does not make a big difference.

> Also, I don't think you understood my comment. I mean safe as in not deanonymizing the user to pages they don't visit. If you preload a non-AMP page, you have deanonymized your user to a third party publisher and the ad servers on that page.

Sorry I still don't get it, with AMP it's exactly the same except that 3rd party is the Google AMP server. You can also load analytics & trackers with AMP as well. There's no privacy in the AMP design goals.
Great idea, I'll see if I can port the source on Github Pages and have users go there if they want a demo? Superb idea, really! In the meantime I can put screenshots / .gifs on the repo itself to share what it looks like.

"YouTube Executives Ignored Warnings, Letting Toxic Videos Run Rampant"

The company spent years chasing one business goal above others: “Engagement,” a measure of the views, time spent and interactions with online videos. Conversations with over twenty people who work at, or recently left, YouTube reveal a corporate leadership unable or unwilling to act on these internal alarms for fear of throttling engagement.

Wojcicki would “never put her fingers on the scale,” said one person who worked for her. “Her view was, ‘My job is to run the company, not deal with this.’” This person, like others who spoke to Bloomberg News, asked not to be identified because of a worry of retaliation....
