Usually not. There may be an undocumented switch somewhere in the firmware that a good driver could tweak? Depending on the exact hardware. But end-user termination boxes, whether delivered by the ISP or purchased by the end-user, are built for as cheap as possible and ship with whatever under-the-hood software configuration the manufacturer thought was a good idea. Margins are just too narrow to pay good engineers to do the testing and digging to fix performance issues. (Used to work at a company that sold high-margin enterprise edge equipment, and even there we were hard-strapped to get the buggy drivers and firmware working in even-slightly-non-standard configurations. Though 802.11 was most of the problem there.)

And in the case of telco equipment, that's an tradition-minded and misguided conscious policy decision.
Whatever makes you feel better about ruining the planet through your economic activities.

Natural suffering is normal. The suffering introduced through industrialized farming or even normal farming is not normal. That suffering can't be escaped by simply not consuming animals as all life is affected through industrialized farming of everything, organic foods included. The only way to save the planet is by eating 100% naturally sourced road kill that is 100% naturally fed and killed by chance.
Is there still a valid use-case for wildcard certificates when using Lets Encrypt? AFAIK wildcards were used for financial reasons and laziness (since the traditional method of acquiring a cert was cumbersome), but with LE none of those arguments make sense.

Why not just fetch a different cert for every subdomain you use? It's also better security practice as this allows you to use different key per subdomain and the possibility to revoke bad or unused certs.
I fail to understand why he sounds so bitter about all this. He, nor anyone in fact, is in any way _entitled_ to a visa and any government is well within their rights to reject for any reason.

Besides, his counter page and his list of events he's missed is laughable. Such whining!

I've only ever encountered the _very_ privileged (and Mr. Stenberg with a Danish passport firmly falls in this category) who are outraged when there are complications with this sort of thing.

A Singaporean once lamented to me about getting a Ukranian visa for a friend of theirs as if it's some kind of terrible tragedy failing to realize that most of the world needs visas whenever they travel.

E: His other article, "administrative purgatory" is an even bigger whinefest that it crossed over into the funny, complaining about literally any and all things that literally everyone who doesn't qualify for ESTA has to go through...
People will call you out on Twitter. You likely have a brand account on Twitter already so you'll already get those mentions. Even if you don't have an account people will create a hashtag.

If you want to control your brand perception you don't want the first result when people look for your brand on Twitter to be people tweeting about how terrible you are.

The reasons to do support on Twitter have less to do with what's tech support needs and more with marketing and controlling your brand perception.

For me, it's the 4-star and 3-star reviews, and distribution of them compared to the rest (this can be gamed though). I see no reason that somebody would pay for 4 or 3 star reviews, and also competition would pay for 1 or 2 star ones instead. Primitive logic, but worked +-OK for me even on Amazon.

Also, FU everytime something is just built for macOS. It's such poor stewardship (at the very least for everyone who isn't Apple) to reinforce the walled garden that is macOS.

So please stop pushing me toward Apple now instead.

To his credit, Dorsey seems to at least acknowledge the things at stake. It's a big contrast to zuck.

I dated a girl who worked on a moderation team at FB 2-3 yrs ago, as the fake news problem started getting traction. They had a serious smokescreen of corporate sounding names for the teams, roles and tasks. The tasks were very obviously editing, fact checking, and such... Much of it politically oriented. Meanwhile, they seemed to be in knots trying to make their obviously journalistic job seem like subcategories of spam or abusive IM related jobs. They didn't hire journalists (even though they are cheap and plentiful).

Twitter at least recognizes that they're the news, they're journalism, they're political.

That doesn't/won't necessarily/probably lead to anything useful, but there's an honesty in it that I respect.

There are basically three scenarios where I choose various compression algorithms (a few exceptions excluded):

- maximum compatibility (while tolerating low performance) - gzip

- great performance (while tolerating larger files) - snappy

- very good performance with good (not best) compression ratios - zstd

I don't really want to use Any New Shiny Algo to compress some data that might outlive this piece of software, that's why I use gzip very often, because I know I'll always be able to decompress it. But I've been increasingly adopting zstd and snappy for one single reason - they are becoming widely supported within the ecosystems I work in (data processing).

That, to me, is more important than compression ratios and decompression speeds.

That would be also a great way for the large companies like Google (who can afford to take their time and pay fines when they need) to eliminate all smaller shops -- by extending those penalties in many places where it's not needed (eg. no personal data involved).

> This is going to be problematic, as there are still devices currently for sale on Android 5/6

If I recall correctly, Android >=5 has pretty decent support for modern crypto (such as TLS V1.2, ECC). So, Android 5/6 could still just work, if the vendor is bothered to update the CA root store.
I think Chinese is really not a pictorial language either; using your apt description, it's like if every character was a "shortcut". Harder to learn, but still fairly standard in conveying meaning as far as modern languages go. Some characters are still visually similar to what they represent, but at this point they're mostly a bit of a stretch.

A true pictorial language would convey most meaning through the symbols themselves, and I don't think any modern languages fulfill that definition. Maybe sign languages are the closest thing we have to pictorial language, in terms of the way some things are expressed symbolically?
Aye, though I didn't want to complicate the "everything needs my API key" correction with discussion of providing CSRs separately.

I have bing search disabled, so it is still possible, but don't ask me how I did it. The Problem you describe still persists, though. So it seems to not really be related to bing search that they totally fucked up the start menu search. It's a disgrace how bad it is.

I18n is something like security, it takes a lot of effort to get right, people often don’t know that their assumptions are subtly wrong, and getting them right often requires using a more complicated solution. No wonder programmers just cop out and settle for ASCII, naïve string comparisons, first name & surname fields, etc.

And the problems go quite deep, all the way down to standard libraries and programming languages. The Swift debate about correct and performant Unicode string processing was very interesting – people are very hard to convince that string is not a collection of characters randomly accessible with integer indexes.

> T-Mobile is only interested in buying Sprint for their 120Mhz of 2.5ghz spectrum

Sprint is the one doing the buying. Rather, Softbank.

If T-Mobile wanted to acquire a cheaper shitbag company for spectrum, there's no better target than DISH since they have been squatting on 75mhz of AWS-3 nationwide with nothing to show for it.

But DISH's spectrum situation is going to time out next year and then we will see if the FCC actually does anything.

Network sharing won't happen. Sprint built a weird network, they are already doing an upgraded 2500mhz deployment supporting the 5G stuff as well as their current TDD-LTE devices: https://news.samsung.com/us/sprint-samsung-5g-ready-massive-...

FYI, if this plan falls apart Sprint gets a T-Mobile roaming deal out of it. Who knows what the cost is though. AT&T charged TMUS like $17/MB to roam in early days of their breakup deal on B-IV WCDMA.

See: Google Fiber. When they started rolling it out, ISPs were folding themselves backwards trying to convince people not to switch.

Anecdotal, but I remember someone on Reddit from Kansas City mentioning that Time Warner had offered them something silly like 100M/10M down/up for more money than the incoming Google Fiber was going to be (for 1Gbps synchronous).

I have no idea what the situation is like now, but I'd imagine it's gotten better. They aren't going to sit around wasting money when infinitely better tech is knocking on their front door.

Wikipedia's article on "reviews" [1] is surprisingly sparse.

No, it won't. These satellites are placed close to earth, so they will deorbit after some time. An orbit this close to earth is not sustainable, you need fuel to keep the orbit going. Once the fuel runs out, or the satellite malfunctions, it will fall back into the earth's atmosphere and burn.

It's also in the article:

> Second, there’s the matter of attrition, as satellites will begin to deorbit after a few years and SpaceX will need to replace them regularly in order to maintain its constellation.
In the Czech example, how is it obvious that `few` stands for 2, 3, 4? Is that just how the concept of "few" (note the English term) is defined and understood by all Cezch speakers and thus this language specific meaning is encoded by Mozilla to map to the range 2-4?

My point is that while there might be a concept of "few" that does map uniquely to that range, I am not sure naming the keyword "few" is the right name for this.

Quite honestly it would be easier to understand if it were explicitly referring to the range. After all these strings are provided specific to a language anyway. As such why not encode the rules in them explicitly instead of relying on keywords?

Or are those merely user defined abstractions to accomplish reuse? I guess it would help, but I'm still not sure why this needs a whole new framework.
There seems to be another set of rules for users with high follower counts, presumably because Twitter is terrified of the backlash and claims of censorship.

One particularly nasty individual with a blue checkmark has the habit of screenshotting people who disagree with her, and then unleashing her followers on them. It’s almost impossible to critically engage with this individual without risking being destroyed professionally or personally. Twitter’s response seems to be quietly demoting Tweets, but there is definitely a power dynamic at play with people who have high follower counts, and it isn’t in favor of Twitter.
I think maybe there are different "kinds" of vegans. As in: maybe not all vegans are vegan because of the same ideology.

One vegan explained his motivations like this: he's against slavery, using animals is like a form of slavery and he's against that. Even if you treat the animal like a king; it's still not free to do its own thing. I really liked his reasoning, it seemed consistent and coming from a good place.

That logic would allow him to eat figs because it's a natural process, as you're no actor in the process of the fig forming itself.
Visit arid Africa: eating an animal before it was /used properly/ (could be as simple as fertilizing the land here in southern Morocco) is considered wasteful.
> the output is expected to be on the web

That's no more true now than it has been for the past 10 to 15 years. However, output is just one view; something that automatically generates HTML to display things, like scientific data, is great, but that's far from the only, or even primary, way that many things are consumed from the internet.

Other views exist that can visualise the same data in other ways. That is, data can be available online without necessarily being web first. Heck, most things are — data provided to mobile apps and desktop clients via services that might have a web frontend.

My personal thinking is that people really are too hooked on this narrative about the browser as an OS, and maybe have gotten tunnel vision from it.

The internet, as it is today, is still mainly services. Many things may be more and more accessible in the web by preference, yet remain freely available and consumable through other forms (REST APIs, direct database access, etc) and delivered through apps and integrations within operating systems. Some examples might include:

- Dropbox: files sync with the various apps and utilities
- iCloud: mail, contact, calendar are mostly consumed by the native apps. Pages, Keynote, Numbers documents are mostly edited in the Mac apps.
- Office 365: the Windows apps remain the dominant way to access and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.
- Github: the most popular source code repository today, but still very much consumed at the command line. The website is strongest at wiki editing, forums, and so on, but the bulk of code moving back and forth done with the `git` command or IDE integration.

Let us not underestimate how much of the internet is not primarily consumed in web browsers and likely never will be through the vast majority of certain markets (for instance, developers), where internet-located data will be consumed as services that interact with apps much more than as web sites.
There’s a free (as in beer, not speech) app that does quite a lot, and a paid upgrade that’s largely about customizing it. The potential customizations from the ‘power pack’ seemed quite extensive, but I haven’t personally played with it much.
I can't stress enough how much of a bad idea this is. I was stunned when a few days ago I was looking up something on Google Maps and started seeing advertised locations/suggestions.

Even though I love the product and have been a fan of Google products for the longest time, their current strategy of monetizing everything they can is very off putting. The direction Chrome is taking is also concerning.

Don't know what really is going on at Google at the higher levels, but from an outsider's perspective is seems like they are aggressively trying to grow even more. Maybe to raise stock price? But to invest in what? Maybe to compete with Apple and Amazon? I can't be the only one who thinks it all seems odd - going from "don't be evil" to shutting down a massive number of projects with a lot of potential (e.g. Inbox, Fiber)...

Don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but looking at the bigger picture, it looks like Google's strategy is going through some changes and I'm not convinced this would play out well for them in the end.
Game players yes. Prominent gaming channels are a mixed bag though. "Bro culture" is very much a thing and casual homophobia and racism is still very widespread.

We need to decouple two things that are mashed together in this post:

Web packaging and Signed exchanges seems benign and beneficial, you can sign a particular page inside a package (let's say a zipped folder of some kind) and now anyone can cache that data and show it, while both the browser and the user knows that it's safe to display it. Since the AMP format is similar, it seems quite beneficial to now have all your AMP content support this feature. And anyone who made some of their pages AMP can use that same process to support other Signed Exchanges (such as p2p networks or CDNs) . This is great since it makes distributed caching much easier.

The bad part is that google search uses this signed exchange format not to show the actual URL but rather put it in an iframe inside chrome (and only chrome). The real question is whether we will be able to use this functionality outside search, if I have my own site and show a large iframe with signed exchange page, will I also be able to change the browser url bar? mmph, probably not.
