Chromium has a working exploit (AFAIK it still is not patched) that allows third-party code to masquerade as first-party code. Unless you run a special addon[1], you are vulnerable to this.

The fact that I still can't find that it's patched now tells me nothing good about the health of the ecosystem and who it is meant to serve. That should be all the reason you need to switch to Firefox, which admittedly also has huge warts but to my mind ones that aren't quite so egregious.

> the Reagan FDA removed the review process for new AIDs drugs during the 1980s epidemic

Just a quick historical correction: Reagan administration did no such thing. The FDA would not release potentially helpful drugs that were untested or unproven even as 100,000s of gay men lay dying in such a horrific way. Gay activists begged and pleaded while Reagan did literally nothing to help. He didn’t even mention the words gay or AIDS until 1986. The outbreak was in full bloom by 1983. Act Up was a grassroots organization designed in part to pressure the government to allow the use of drugs with limited track record. There was a modicum of success as AZT was approved in 1987 following Act Up protests on wall street were over 100 people were arrested

I’m curious where you heard that Reagan fast tracked AZT and similar. Sadly, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was in some ‘legit’ history books.

Source: “On March 24, 1987, 250 ACT UP members demonstrated at Wall Street and Broadway to demand greater access to experimental AIDS drugs and for a coordinated national policy to fight the disease.”

Thanks.

I was thinking of a recent post[0] pointing to a NASA press release.[1] And this part in particular:

> As the team's measurements have become more precise, their calculation of the Hubble constant has remained at odds with the expected value derived from observations of the early universe's expansion. Those measurements were made by Planck, which maps the cosmic microwave background, a relic afterglow from 380,000 years after the big bang.

> The measurements have been thoroughly vetted, so astronomers cannot currently dismiss the gap between the two results as due to an error in any single measurement or method. Both values have been tested multiple ways.

> "This is not just two experiments disagreeing," Riess explained. "We are measuring something fundamentally different. One is a measurement of how fast the universe is expanding today, as we see it. The other is a prediction based on the physics of the early universe and on measurements of how fast it ought to be expanding. If these values don't agree, there becomes a very strong likelihood that we're missing something in the cosmological model that connects the two eras."

What I would be very interested in seeing in an introduction to a new language is an explanation of why the authors think other languages that intend to support a similar combination of features have failed to achieve that or have failed to get traction.

These kinds of introductions always read like "we're going to combine these and these and these awesome features from all your favorite languages" and well, what's not to like? Wouldn't everyone want this? So I can't help but wonder: why didn't anyone previously succeed at creating such a language? What are you going to do differently?

Poland.

I regularly get a survey call and "congratulations, you won a vacuum cleaner/spa/whatever" call roughly once a month. From time to time, I get some company I'm technically in business with call me (through an outsourced call centre), trying to upsell something useless. I used to get a lot more of calls like these a couple years ago, but I vaguely recall something in the legislation having changed since then, and most spam calls disappeared.

That said, a year ago I started my own business, and now the cold calling just doesn't stop. In Poland AFAIK it's illegal to spam individuals, but it's legal to spam businesses - and now I have, for example, Polcard (card processor) representatives calling me roughly once a month, asking if maybe I'd like a POS terminal. I keep saying them, I'm a contractor, I only do B2B and don't need a terminal - they note this down, and call again the next month.

So currently it all adds up to ~10 +/- 5 unwanted calls a month. It's still usually more than personal calls I receive (but less than personal or business calls I make). Rise of the mobile-connected IMs pretty much put a stop to most personal phone calls among the people I know.

Not at all. Hospitals are lately notoriously unclean and eager to intervene and interrupt.

I looked into using Utterances a while back, but decided against it.

From my blog post [0]: This product requires an external server to be up and online at all times. And while they do promise to be always free without ads, they don't promise to be always available. And while they are open-source and I could always decide to host my own Utterances server/bot, I'd prefer to host nothing at all.

"email has yet to be usurped by algorithms"

Unfortunately, that isn't true. Many people use apps like GMail for Email, which does filter with algorithms. And many people complain about their emails not getting through.

I find that worrying especially with sight on the social media bans of unwanted people. You'd think they could at least resort to email newsletters, but email is controlled by the same corporations that just banned them.
So this is a comments app that uses Github's issue tracker service as a data store. Is this a round hole / square peg mismatch of problem and solution?

I'm asking honestly what other people's opinions of this are because whilst it looks good it:
1) looks like the kinda of hacky solution I try to avoid building when trying to fit together incompatible data objects and data storage.
2) uses Github's systems for purposes other than they were intended, which seems slightly unethical or at least impolite to me.

I was thinking the same, the pages need redesign. The best way to make people try out a language is to give an example on the first page (without scrolling). It should be more than "hello world", e.g. 99 bottles of beer or Fibonacci numbers, anything that shows me how the language looks & "feels".

That being said, this looks like a really interesting and promising language. If the borrow-checker is unobtrusive and doesn't require ridiculous boilerplate, then you can count me in! Good work!

> Complaining about some people having more money than you just screams envy and childishness.

Where did he do that?

> No, they really are not. One is driven by envy and petty jealousy, and the other is motivated by a legitimate concern that someone might be living in poverty.

Screw off with the ad hominem. It doesn't suffice in lieu of a point.

> Complaining about some people having more money than you just screams envy and childishness.

So by your logic if you are poor and mention billionaires and income inequality then you are envious and full of petty jealousy. Therefore, only people who are well-off are able to even bring the subject up without being labeled as such. People who are well off have a vested interest in not bringing the subject up, as they maintain a comparative advantage with a cheap, underpaid supply of labor in their economy.

Every now and then, however, a well-to-do and handsomely paid software engineer with a conscious will bring up the subject. In which case, you can simply move the goalpost and label him as having petty jealously since they are probably not a billionaire.

In your framework, an economy with fatal inequalities will not be fixed. That's how you get revolutions.

> The idea that one person can own everything and everyone is equally well off as if they all owned equal shares is wrong on its face.

You say that, but it your counter is also obviously wrong. It would be trivial to have a system where everyone owns equal shares of everything - dissolve private property rights and nationalise. On the face of it that isn't a bad idea but when it is tried it fails spectacularly. I'm not aware of any surviving examples where equal ownership has worked without becoming hopelessly corrupted.

So in practice we know that some level of inequality which, if dropped below, does result in everyone being worse off.

As an interesting aside, ~90% of Canada is owned by the Crown [0]. It isn't obvious that this inequality is their biggest problem w.r.t. living standards.

> Back in reality some portion are pushed onto the street ... and end up dying

Yeah all that stuff does sound awful, but you are not going to the meat of what I was asking. Assuming we aren't creating new wealth (because that would be something that could be done now) then the wealthy will have to give something up so that the poor can gain. What is it? If wealthy people stop going on holidays then retrain the hotel receptionists as doctors? Are wealthy people taking more hours of doctor time than they need and so we make them live with shorter appointments?

I don't believe the wealthy are using enough raw resources for to make a difference; there'd need to be a massive redeployment and upskilling program training new people to have higher skills. That isn't obviously an equality issue, it might be an education problem or related to government healthcare policy.

> Only for the upper middle class does that mean they have just as nice a house in a less desirable neighborhood.

You haven't changed the number or quality of the houses, so you're basically suggesting the middle class and the poor swap houses. If the poor persons prior home wasn't an acceptable dwelling, why would it be acceptable to put a middle class family in it? Is there something wrong with the poor persons house? Is the issue that the wealthy are using too much building material so the poor can't do home repairs?

The broker thing has happened the same way with me, the last two times I've done so.

I'm starting to believe they don't want certain things in black and white so they would rather call you. It could just be policy though, who's to say.

I do still find it irritating that they insist. I'm much more likely to respond to an email quickly than to a phone call and I only answer phone calls from my family while I'm at work.
I don't think you expect a call from immigration when they are handling your application, they just call if they want to ask you why line # doesn't look the way they expect it to.
The money goes primarily to the engineers who put in place the systems, and to the designers of those systems and the companies that built the pieces of it. The day to day work, whether in the control room or on the tools, itself should be relatively simple, and it should (in theory) be difficult to stuff things up if the system is designed well.

... How?

I agree with the sibling poster; it sounds like you already lost.
This problem (and telemarketing in general) is incredibly easy to solve, especially if you are Google or Apple. In fact it's almost a disgrace that they don't.

Back in the day, did this with the apps for local.ch in Switzerland ( some fluffy details here: https://tel.local.ch/en/advertising-calls ) which something like 40-50% of the Swiss population have installed on their phones.

As a Yellow pages phonebook app we provided an "Incoming Call" lookup service against our search engine of Swiss business phone numbers, so we could see who you received calls from (data which we treated as strictly private).

These types of robocallers (and telemarketers in general) were really easy to spot in logs - you see a number that's been calling many different people but _wasn't_ in our official database of businesses (we had good coverage of all businesses in Switzerland), we'd flag it our users with "We don't know this number but we suspect telemarketing" leaving the user to decide whether they wanted to call back or not. The Google Places API or the Yelp API ( https://www.yelp.com/developers/documentation/v3/business_se... ) would probably suffice for the same purpose.

The only way to get round this is for robocallers to rotate the numbers they're using with a very high frequency so they don't "peak" in the logs but that can get expensive for them.

What's nice is this approach is also dynamic - you don't need an official database of blacklisted numbers. You just need a big enough sample of users with your app installed and you'll catch Robocallers as soon as they start peaking in any logs.

Apple and Google have way more insights into who's calling who than this (e.g. number of rings, email signatures, the users address books, which numbers have been blocked and a ton of analytics) which could be used to kill telemarketing for good. Given the solution is so simple, it really surprises me they don't.
I've been reading lot of comments like the parent lately. Thanks for voicing my thoughts.
Looks like you will need a work visa for the UK - I don't think an aunt will work for a UK family visa: see https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa and https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa

This usually means you are a "skilled worker" and usually already have a job offer. There is a lot of pressure in the UK to prove that there is no one already in the UK able to do the work before a visa is possible (from what I understand - not an expert)

Your criminal past will be a problem whatever visa you go for though - robbery and selling drugs are not exactly something that is going to work in your favour. Some details here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/criminal-record-c...

The mood in the UK is quite anti-immigration at the moment. Both from politicians and a large part of the public outside of the major cities (due to Brexit).

I am pro-immigration and I can empathise with your position and situation, but I'm sorry to say that even I would personally not be comfortable with someone with your criminal record (who has already been deported from one country because of their criminality) being allowed to come and live in the UK just because you have an aunt that lives here.

Good luck.
