Fakespot is pure trash. That thing doesn't work at all. According to Fakespot everything in Amazon is fake. Even small legitimate third-party sellers get bad ratings from Fakespot. But that's not even the worst part. I have found dubious listings where Fakespot didn't detect anything and gave them a semi-decent rating when it's obvious that the reviews were manipulated just by looking at them.

If you want to understand a product reliability is pretty simple. Just browse the 1 and 2 star reviews. You can find a lot of valuable information about the products in those reviews.

If you still want to use something to evaluate the reviews use Reviewmeta. It's much better and transparent than Fakespot.
Can't say I'm too concerned after what he did.

This doesn't really answer the parent's question though. In a blockchain with a client doing full validation, removing/altering the data would cause the that block to be invalid. You'd need to hardfork the network to accept the altered history. I suspect git also checks the integrity of each commit, at least when pulling/cloning, so that would probably cause git to think the objects/packfiles are corrupt.

> Apple said it treats all app developers equally.

But the point is that Apple apps have preferential treatment.

One example would be double-clicking the home button on a locked phone invokes apple pay. Why can't it invoke something else?

Personally, I would like to write my own apps (that didn't require permission to run and didn't explode in 7 days)
> What you are looking for is city infrastructure with green scenery. That's possible but the price tag is going to be astronomical.

In a car-centric culture like what dominates in North America, maybe. I've been to a city or two, though, that accomplished the hat trick of high population density, low noise levels, and nice scenery. Brussels, for example.

I'm pretty sure the magic trick is to convince your citizens that public transportation doesn't have to just be a last resort for poor people.
ie MoviePass. As soon as a unprofitable company loses its investor backing it doesn't matter if they control the majority of the market, they are still doomed.
I'm not sure that I agree, the only images on the linked page are pretty tiny thumbnails, and the poorly compressed video - where I can definitely see some artifacting already that doesn't seem to be caused by the video compression, there's no way to know if they actually did a good job from that.

Why do you hope for them to be wrong?

Edit: Fix typo.
It is one thing to advocate for transparency and try to implement better protections for whistleblowers, it is entirely different to willfully break the law, and carelessly, and then expect for the law to not apply to you. Assange is not innocent here and neither is Chelsea. They should accept some responsibility. We can't let people follow their lead without fixing the underlying problems with our government, otherwise their actions are equally as dangerous and put many other lives at risk.
Nothing to add here except I'm completely impressed as a software engineer and a human. Congrats to all who made this happen -- you have done important stuff.

I’m curious to know more about ridesharing in South America, specifically the haggle portion. If the credit card was allowed it seems like it would alleviate a decent amount of the issues you named in your post. Why would they disallow credit cards? Is it a cultural problem, infrastructure problem or something else?

The other issues you mentioned seem to be tech related in that as companies that offer navigation services improve their data and services in South America the experience there should markedly improve.
Mars might an interesting playground for testing climate engineering, since it'd be hard to mess it up more than it is now. That said though, it's hard to imagine fixing things like the lack of atmosphere without a lot of investment.
I don’t understand why Microsoft hasn’t pulled the GitHub integration into VS Code. It seems like it would be in their best interest given that they own both now.
> While I do think that NULL is a hard to deal issue in many languages and I admire languages like Rust without NULL,

Why would you admire this? Dropping .unwrap().wrap() on all the things is not any better than doing the same thing on nullable types.

"duh you're meant to handle them straight away so its not an issue" - no shit? Do you think maybe the same could be said about null values?

Removing optionality from a type system is a mistake, it just leads to more gibberish to handle undefined/notset.

> EdgeQL is slightly different. As you noticed, we do have a concept of empty set, which in some ways is similar to NULL in SQL (with the caveats I explained above).

Yes, it is slightly different, no it is not similar to null. It is what you get when you don't have null and don't have options. i.e. no sentinel, just a maybe.
Not going to happen. UK and Japan are both island nations (as are Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia), so there is no pressing need to change. And India is probably too large to change.

Putting thousands of people's lives in danger because you're not careful isn't freedom of speech [0]. If Assange cared about freedom of speech, he wouldn't have called the Panama leaks an attack on Putin fueled by Soros [1]. Is it a coincidence that almost all Wikileaks cables are about the US, and never anything about Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and so on?

I definitely don't think he should be prosecuted for journalism, but if it is shown that he was Putin's puppet and intentionally helped meddle in US election, then he does deserve whatever sentence he receives.

> May I assume that the slight modifications you were required to make to postgres in order to support your features weren't just bug-fixes?

Yes. Some of them, like strict parsing of timezone-aware vs naïve datetimes can be upstreamed (as a configurable option) if the Postgres community accepts it. It's in our interest to upstream things like that :) We'll see how it goes.

I think that fundamentally people are conservative when it comes to new technology. That's all.

If the rocket puts a car into space, we have the ability to put a car into space. If the rocket lands and is reusable and cheap, we have that ability. If we send colonists to mars, we can send colonists to mars.

Until it's done, people won't worry about it or incorporate it into their worldview. Short of offering to help, what's the point in worrying about it until there's something new that I can do? There are way too many things to worry about them all, I just care when a new thing is actually available.
Spade GauGAN Source Code Now Released
But anchoring.... people anchor to the all time high.
Yeah, so the thing is that you give the money away while you're alive. You can give 15k per year per spouse. So a married couple with two married children can give away 30k to each child and 30k to each son/daughter-in-law. That reduces the total estate that is taxed by 60k each year. If you have 20 years left of life, that's 1.2 million dollars given tax free. Way better than a probate.

You're correct that if they gave all 1.2 million in one year, it's subject to tax, but no one does that.

That is certainly true once a framework is chosen, but before that you can prototype in many directions and extends in pieces. Extending a site to use a framework is not all or nothing.

i mean, is it even really "your criticism?" why aren't you giving credit to others who are speculating the same issues? you're basically saying you're the first person to ever think this, did you even search for others or are you content in helping them to toil in obscurity?
Exactly. They want special protections. I'm not advocating for the justice department not to take into consideration their motivation for transparency, but just because they may have had good intentions doesn't mean they can act with careless disregard in their actions. There are a lot of opportunities for improvement here on both sides.

This doesn't seem purposeful. It seems like someone finding confirmation bias because a group more likely to identify with their beliefs has been partially left out (in this case).

At least for the "anti-black" case mentioned, here's the case itself: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-6th-circuit/1604783.html

Reading over the technical part, it seems like an honest mistake. Who's to say everyone doesn't end up affected at some point or another? I agree we always ought to minimize such errors, but they're arguably better than the human alternative (against which many accusations of various biases have been leveled).

I think we're more likely to find examples of this because the normal cases (where minority groups aren't affected) aren't litigated as widely.

Literally any thing else. For photography equipment, B&H or my local camera shop. For non-Apple computer stuff, local MicroCenter, NewEgg, etc. For non-techy stuff, local stores. Even the dollar stores have laundry soap, dish soap, etc.

I've actually gotten used to taking a weekend afternoon for errands or maybe in the evenings on the way home. It's a good way to just unwind from the computer for a while. There are times to avoid certain stores (Central Market on the weekend). Shopping online pretty much means being in front of the computer all of the time.

Was the database already in their possession, or was it remote?

Remote is hacking. If it’s something that was handed to them from a source then that seems like legitimate journalism.

Also “wikileaks” and Assange are very distinct entities. Are there jabber records of (provably) Assange stating that he was trying to hack a remote server belonging to the DoD or was it some hanger-on doing the typing?

It seems you wrote this article; have you read it back? You bury the lede under 1230 words explaining some social concepts rather than anything programming-related.

Additionally, you use many complex words to describe simple subjects. And you do this knowingly: for example, you felt the need to link the definition of "acquiescence" to the word. If you felt that it was complex enough that this was warranted, why not instead rewrite the surrounding content?

If the purpose of this article is to convince people that disagree with your statements, you have certainly lost those people by the end of the article.

I don't even disagree with you; the DOM is great and WASM is definitely just another option and not a replacement for JS.

Finally, I have to note: there aren't any citations for your claims in the programming section. One might otherwise wonder where you get an idea like

> That DOM mechanism will allow a WASM application to execute DOM methods without having to provide its own DOM application, but it will be limited to markup within the WASM application.

Ez-Sniff: Toll Booth Transponder RF Analysis
If a game show that gave away real prizes leaked the questions in advance to one contestant but not the other, that would be fraud. I'm not sure if a debate can be held to that standard, however?
If the goal of a jury is to be unbiased toward the person on trial (attempt equal representation from the citizenry), wouldn't biasing the selection now violate the right of the defendant to trial by jury of peers as much as the instance in question? We would do well to remember that the objective of jury selection is not to give all groups equal representation simply for the sake of fairness but to give the defendant a fair, unbiased jury for a trial.

It wouldn't be fair to today's defendants to do this, just as some sort of "justice" for those of yesterday.
This. I feel like an old man yelling at a cloud, but while everyone seems to focus on how awesome shadow DOM and isolated CSS is, I need to deal with using a global theme and styles.
I don't really think end-devs are the target audience for Web Components. I see two users that will benefit:

I believe knowing what your app is doing and who it is contacting is important and of value.

I can imagine such a person. If rider values reliability, they would always open Uber app straight away and get a ride in 5 seconds. I don't think the argument of people switching to a cheaper service actually holds true that much. People don't shop around for a ridesharing service, they open up something that they know will work and work fast.
> There has been a long push by auto manufacturers to make anything other than cars that use the roads seen as both illegitimate and illegal.

And the absolutely disgusting thing about this is we can't get away from roads. Every building has roads in front, and to get anywhere you have to cross a lot of roads.

> it may be what they are prosecuting him but they sending a very direct message to all the press at the same time. as in, like we have read with many other cases, the government can make any charge they want to get you. you might walk that fine line perfect but it doesn't matter when the people who hold the law in the backpocket can create new lines and stretch them as needed.

I have seen cases where the government did that first hand, and it's definitely a problem when it happens. But this is not one of those cases. There is not a fine line between a journalist receiving confidential material from a leaker, and someone trying to help someone else illegally expropriate confidential material from government computers. It's in fact a bright line, one that is absolutely necessary.

It is critical that, when real journalists invoke their privilege of publication, they be free from any accusation of engaged in illegal conduct to expropriate that material in the first place. Journalists have carefully avoided dabbling in illegal conduct themselves to protect their credibility and the leeway they receive from the law. Assange is the one who jeopardizes that privilege. Because the next time a journalist publishes stolen information, the government can hold up Assange as an example of why the journalist should be investigated to see if they had a hand in illegal activity.

I think self-driving cars will come sooner, in which case road handedness would be far less of an issue.
Well, it's a broad topic. However, it comes back to several main things:

1. Select a target keyword.
You select some and only keyword you'd like to rank a post for.

2. Mind the competition
Check on the competition for that keyword. Don't chase for the ones where you can't outrank competitors. I.e. we can't outrank Atlassian for agile project management, but we can go for less competitive keywords.

3. Compose a great piece of content about that keyword.
Then you write a great piece of content about it (See 10x content by Rand Fishkin). Put it in the title, URL and within the content.
