There should be a name for this sort of software design. It's not just encrypted/privacy-oriented or whatever. It's a software design with a clear contract on who owns the data: the user.

E.g. Google Drive, which claims to take privacy seriously and also encrypts your data. But the data is not encrypted with a secret unknown to the server. How should my family members differentiate between the encryption Google claims it has and client-side encryption? For them it's all the same.

Maybe we need some commonly understandable name that a regular user can look at and know that this software is data-agnostic.
I had a coworker once bring back everyone some decorated chopsticks from Daiso after a trip to Japan. We worked across the street from a Daiso that got the same chopsticks in stock about a week later.
Libssh2 has not been looked at critically. Are you mixing it up with openssh? Its sadly neglected although with a slight pickup as it did a release to fix 9 CVEs. There will be many more.
I think there is a good argument to be made for crowdsourcing some of those as well.
Melatonin and bright light early in the morning.

For the bright light I have a 10,000 lux sun lamp hooked up to an automated power switch. So every morning before I wake up I get a huge dose of sunlight.
I'm not black, but having spent time homeless and not having the best educational path, I know most tech companies that have interviewed me look down on me or consider me unhirable despite using code I wrote.

The experience you describe lines up with what I've heard from friends, I'd recommend reconsidering Amazon though, the company is highly segmented internally and time at a FAANG will likely boost your earning potential down the line. Most of the employees that have been there 3+ years are inert/zombified, working 50-60hrs a week. Their recruiters also BS around, I wouldn't take the interview process personally.

One friend interviewed at Amazon and thought she did terrible, yet they still offered her $80hr. Avoid the corporate kool-aid, cash their paychecks for a year or two, pole vault to an even better position at a slightly less well known company (with a better culture).
This is obviously an early adopter edition of fairly interesting, futuristic product -- Samsung is likewise releasing it in limited quantity by reservation only. It's only gimmicky as phablets that many had denounced years ago.

Described by themselves lol. You assume people have to do as you command and then claim to be "patient" because it doesn't happen immediately. Well the world is not like your parent's care where they might have prioritized you over everything else.

A 100 people group agitating for punishments over a vague issue is a mob. Your lynchings are not welcome.

After Royole came with the first bendable screens there has been a tremendous pressure among the big players like Samsung and LG to display their technological superiority with bendable stuff. Problem is they are simply not as far as Royole at the moment.
Where did the good old way of calling them pieces of shit and just leaving the job go?

Apparently, now it is also necessary to get someone fired and/or closing the business entirely.
A few ways you can call bluff on inflated Apple fanboy-ism is by listening to wall street and watching Apple stock. Analysts aren't pleased with the 5G miss, and Apple stock has certainly suffered, at least a bit, for it.

Gruber could have quantified the potential opportunity size in dollars, instead of kowtowing with Apple P.R. and apologizing for the miss by blaiming an immature 5G ecosystem. Remember the mad scramble to reach 3G/4G status among providers when the iPhone 3G/4G came out? Flagship devices tend to simulate the ecosystem.

My guess: Evidence points to extremely low rates of switchover between Android <-->iOS, so even if a few 5G aficionados went the Android way, there's likely negligible impact on Apple's bottom line.

Apple still has a huge problem on its hands - that of annual declining unit sales. There's not much they can do about it, with their current pricing strategy.

Why poor Americans? It's purely a matter of taste.

Apple is culturally significant and Blackcurrants are banned in the US (due to then carrying a disease that would devastate one of the forests). So one is more important than lime and the other is totally unfamiliar.

Why Qualcomm Won
Windows 7 has smep and windows 10 still lacks smap, though support is said to be imminent. Regardless they're not much of a concern when you're not running untrusted code.
Having had a little experience in how those conversations go, my guess would be that Intel were doing everything they could to keep Apple's business, but between failure at the foundry level and failure to compete on the actual design level Apple has slowly made the decision that their generation needed to be with Qualcomm. So they'll have sorted the settlement and deal with Qualcomm whilst keeping the door open with Intel. Now that the deal with Qualcomm is finalized they can finally confirm to Intel what their draw down will be and since Intel can't make the volume they need without Apple they've been forced to close down the product line.

Intel has a reputation for completely ripping up departments once they're 'refocusing' but they really only do that after the writing has been on the wall a while. I will be amazed if it slowly becomes clear their 5G backhaul business isn't going the same way though.
Why would you ever buy a phone like this? Hell, I can hardly justify paying $200 for a Huawei but I'll admit, the extra RAM does come in handy for a smooth browsing experience.

I think a few weeks ago there was an article on HN discussing these foldable phones. And the argument is that the screen size comes in handy for reading or watching stuff. I myself, I don't see it.

For books, I have a kindle. It cost me like $100 brand new. The native Kindle UI is superior to that of the mobile app.

Movies? Good one. Games? Hahaha.

So, why? Is it a status symbol? Is it the urge to keep up with tech? Someone who has had the phone for a while, please enlighten me/us.
Maybe I just have a really bad sense of taste, but I thought they were just "green" and "purple" (also in the UK).
On the contrary, I thought the code was terrible quality. If someone wrote this code at my company they would be fired, or more likely not hired in the first place.
I find it interesting that nobody has asked this question: what is your life situation?

Do you have a family? House/mortgage? Health insurance? You mentioned that CoCalc hires some engineers, some hat’s the burn rate? What do you need to keep working on it?

If you have got your baseline covered, William, i’d say go for it. Your heart is clearly on this path.
> For literally everyone else, it is, in fact, price that matters.

I made the distinction between price and total return above because an asset's price can remain more or less constant while still being a profitable investment: for example a utility company with a high dividend yield.

Let me try another tack. Would you rather own non-voting equity or junior debt in a company that is about to strike a deal that will make them wildly profitable?
This is the video that explains the best how the "morality" is natural even in the capuchin monkeys:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meiU6TxysCg

So, no to those that claim that, humans aren't special, and no, the good sides of morality don't come from religion, especially not from the modern ones with a "jealous" god (killing homosexuals, or punishing women when not wearsing something, however, if that is considered "morality", indeed provably does come from religion).

The whole talk:

I don't think you need a board to stop this specific case. It's pretty obvious that what they were doing is unacceptable. The problem must have been a pervasive culture of lack of respect for privacy at Facebook, not a single engineer who somehow just didn't know any better.
Currently reading this one. It's already the most impactful book I've ever read.
I agree with it seems apocryphal. I can only imagine interpretations of the statement "invert a tree" that are so trivial as to test nothing (as in "invert the multiplication of A * B" uhh, "B * A"?).

I suppose if I were asked I'd ask for clarification of what was wanted, and either they want someone who asks such questions or both of us leave the room relieved that we won't be working together.

Are you admitting religion was thought up by people?
You could apply this reasoning to literally anything, because every organisation / nation state / what have you has at some point and in some form considered the consequences of their actions. History shows that internal evaluation is an imperfect science. I suspect you know this and only reserve this extremely circular reasoning for cases which you already agree with. It would be easier to admit you've already formed an opinion and don't care to change it under any circumstance, rather than weakly appeal to Twitter's own authority to justify their actions.
Yeah, or they could also sue to stop this thing from being built.
This is not a very convincing argument because the public will say that they will trust their own judgement and that they are simply not susceptible to lies by politicians especially if they don't match with what is said in mainstream media.

EDIT: Not saying the argument is incorrect, just that it will not convince the public.

Yup, dump on a piece of paper and segment by contours, bright colours so super easy. Though you'd lose the nice skittle graphs which I think is half the fun of the process.
As someone running a federated server (mastodon); you get more problems with local spam than with foreign spam.

Most instances will quickly shut down any spam, so it doesn't really fill the federated timeline that much. Local accounts are something you as an administrator need to act on, so they are the annoying ones.

In my experience, instances that allow spam are rare and the get quickly blacklisted by everyone from showing up in the timelines (there is luckily a neat middleground between blocking the instance entirely and not doing that; allow local users to subscribe to that instance, which is my default action for all instances that aren't hosting illegal material for me).
I do believe in giving people responsibility for an area/concern/system of code. It gives them a sense of responsibility and and encourages them to do good work. It allows some creativity and style. I limits turn-over. I agree with totally however.
I wonder whether there are studies on whether this helps.

There are for trains. Presumably, it generalizes for human behavior, even if it's a plane, not a train.

> Large instances like Mastodon.social are generally blocked tho (if your admin/democracy cares about a vibrant Fediverse).

Ah, so you achieve vibrancy by .. blocking a large number of the users?
Malicious actors definitely try to spam and data mine the fediverse, but their accounts get disabled by the local instance admin, and when they try evading that by spinning up a few instances on their own domains to hide their spam or follow bots behind, those instances generally get blocked by instances that see said spam toots or spam followers.

This may be a case of cultural differences... a lot of Asian people like to leave those plastic protectors on!
The fact that their interests are not perfectly aligned does not mean they are not aligned. Apple is able to fight rights to repair because people love their products so much that they don't care. They have the leverage to be misaligned in one little area, because they are so overwhelmingly aligned everywhere else.

"Through image recognition and the extraction of meta-data, Webhose was able to identify the GPS location of the image"

How does image recognition help with this? The gps data is right there in the JSON.

Also at the beginning of the article we see:

"Since users want to remain anonymous and criminals often use their own jargon, it is far more difficult to navigate and track the plans of cyber criminals."

So it is very handy that the JSON contains the uncensored urls, which saves us part of this trouble... not very clever.
They are complaining about Google's proposal to expand light rail in surrounding areas, arguing that the residential land is so precious there and shouldn't be disrupted. Sounds like NIMBY activism.
why would that be reasonable? US is not constantly under attack, neither is any other country. But Earth IS constantly bombarded by meteors, so it's completely reasonable to expect that once in a while a meteor will be big enough to become a glowing ball, instead of expecting a random ICBM. Not to mention ICBMs don't burn up in the atmosphere. Really the idea that at any moment there can be an ICBM coming your way and it will look like this is totally ridiculous and only created by fearmongering TV news. Real world is elsewhere.

On a similar note - the number of people asking about ICBMs every time SpaceX has a twilight launch... facepalm
A meteor that came from another solar system may have hit Earth in 2014
My guess: that “film that went over the screen” is there because Samsung discovered that, in one’s pocket, pressure on the outside of the device decreases the radius of the device below its bend radius (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bend_radius).

The units reviewers have may be early versions with that extra film. That would explain why Mark Gurman wrote ”It appeared removable in the left corner“.
The dumbest security restriction I've dealt with is not giving devs local admin access to their work compeers. In a previous job I had to contact my manager every time I needed to install or update software. Sometimes he had to get approval from the IT gods before he could do anything. I usually just figured out ways to run applications without installing them.

It was a huge waste of time. From what I understand a dev installed something bad one time so they punished everyone. Then again that's usually how these things happen.
It's up to the localizer to define variants corresponding to the language's plural categories. For Russian, that's (one, few, many). Interestingly, this particular example could simplified to (few, *), because "раз" is good for both 1, 5, 11, 55, etc. See https://projectfluent.org/play/?id=7d22f87c04b23b86d9f9149d5... for an example of this in action.

Authoring tools can help here, too. Pontoon, Mozilla's translation management system, pre-populates plural variants based on the number of plural categories defined in Unicode's CLDR.
Is there any scientific literature on potential dangers of these standard vaccines? Maybe newer findings?

Can you explain the 6 month thing to me? If I understand correctly, posts/comments older than 6 months get deleted, unless you decide to save it locally? Even if someone saves a post older than 6 months locally, others cannot see it, right?

That does not seem like a feature to me, and completely breaks geteather imo, sadly. Most of the good content on reddit is older than 6 months. Imagine if reddit decided to delete posts older than 6 months, jesus, every 6 months there would be a flood of the very same questions/posts/comments...
> The darknet is lending itself extremely poorly for this type of transaction. Anonymity is exactly what I do not want when obtaining a weapon (yes even you tend to commit a crime with it). you may remain anonymous but the potential history of the gun certainly won't be and is traceable more accurately than any fingerprint

Sure, they can trace the gun...but who cares? All they can do is trace it back to the guy who sold it to you. If you're intending to commit a crime with it, I don't see how that's problematic for you.

My dad had occasional insomnia for years (before it became chronic). An easy solution to fall asleep was a shot or two of whiskey. I've done the same from time to time (once a year, perhaps).

It obviously isn't the best sleep one can have, but it sure beats staying awake for hours and only getting a few hours of sleep. I guess it isn't really "sleeping better" as it is "sleep some"

I was with it until the mention of the rebuilding of Louisiana's bayous. Humans are entirely why the area loses about a football (American) field sized amount of land per hour[0]. Treating a symptom does nothing about the cause, so the loss of the bayous will still continue - unimpeded.

Whilst this particular instance is a good use of appeal to emotion, it doesn't hold anything of value under scrutiny.

I think the best part of this is that they're talking publicly about this, and are explaining our reasoning. We shouldn't be dependent on Microsoft making the ethical judgment correctly every time. Instead, (potential) customers themselves should learn about the potential downsides, lest they simply go to a competitor to purchase the same flawed technology anyway.
But why change the meaning of one of the most common mathematical symbols? Every new generation of programmers must then relearn what "=" means. If you see "=" in a comment you are never really sure what it means, is it assignment or is it the standard mathematical predicate?
I'm not entirely sure I have that much of a problem with ad fraud, doesn't it only hurt the ad companies and companies like google (which I have a problem with anyway), by basically scamming them into believing that I interacted so that company should be compensated.

I do object to collecting and sending my personal information, but I feel they just mixed it, as that probably relates to more then just these Chinese apps.

And I really don't like the fact that it seems that Google only cares about abusing the users, and breaches of trust and privacy when it hurts the advertisers (and themselves), and not when the normal user gets hurt.

Not surprising though, but still annoying.
I worked for an ISP - we used to set the customers start page to the ISP homepage. Then the CEO suggested we put an autoreload on the homepage, so the modem would reconnect or keep connection open, so more minutes would be racked up. My first exercise in saying no for ethical reasons. This seems so insignificant today... the second was turning down a job to handle outsourcing of medical records. I said, with the technology you are proposing, there's just no way we can secure those records. Fun to think of sometimes in today's break-things-and-move-fast-culture. (Late 90s, both occurrences.)
