Maps.me Now Shows and Avoids Road Types
The app shows toll roads, motorways, unpaved roads and ferry crossings along the route: they are marked with the corresponding icons. Thus, users can pick the best route or take a detour.

MAPS.ME also enables drivers to avoid certain types of roads by selecting the corresponding option in the Bypass Settings menu. For example, a traveler can exclude highways and toll roads to enjoy a scenic drive and avoid freeways. Excluding dirt roads allows choosing the most comfortable route.
React seems far more like a project created by people who dislike front-end development - that seems way off. For me react is the perfect fit for front-end development. You have syntax similar to html and logic in plain javascript. Angular is like some heavy java back end framework.

In the flight just before the Lion Air crash, with the same airplane, the MCAS activated wrongly, and the pilots shut off the stab trim and landed safely.

The MCAS system was known about after the Lion Air crash, and it baffles me why pilots wouldn't have known about successful corrective action taken on the previous flight. After all, I read about this in the newspaper. It wasn't a secret.

It's hard to tell from the newspaper accounts, which often leave off crucial details, but it seems the electric trim switches (on the control column) override the MCAS commands. So the way to recover is to set the electric trim switches to nose up, turn the trim system on at the cutoff switches, wait until it's trimmed out properly, then turn it off via the cutoff switches and let go of the electric trim switches.
Hipsters: wash their food to get rid of nano particles that might raise cancer risk by 1/100,000, but live downtown where their risk of being murdered goes up by orders of magnitude more.

No seriously. Moving from the rest of Oregon to Portland (a relatively safe city) increases your lifetime chance of getting murdered by 1/1,000. If there was a food additive that did that, creating 100 extra cancer cases per 100,000, it would be plastered with warning labels.
Did Uber not do exactly what op said? Aggressively grow to capture markets before the legal system could react? How is that a bad comment? I mean, the original article is about Uber. How is op in the wrong by describing exactly the business model they adopted?
See https://thehelm.com/
Isn't Istio implemented mostly as a sidecar container(Envoy Proxy) though? The article mentions they are running containers via their Tupperware orchestrator. If they are largely running containerized where is the scaling issue with adding sidecars to implement the service mesh? I don't have any experience with Istio but I'm genuinely curious along which axis it(or Connect, Linkerd etc) doesn't scale.
This is fantastic. If the markups are high enough, I can imagine people who have the job of just taking uber rides all day to grind up ratings for good passenger uber accounts. Reminiscent of faction grinding in MMOs. Life imitates art.
> I thought canaries were legal because they were generalized.

The theoretical legal basis is typically that the government can't compel you to speak against your wishes, or at least can't compel you to lie.

That said, this is untested and controversial, and many lawyers believe that the discontinuation of a warrant canary could be interpreted as a violation of the gag order. Courts often frown upon technical workarounds, and interpret around them.
There's one thing I don't understand while looking at the flight recorder data:

After flaps are retracted for the final time, the altitude seems to stabilize. So why the sudden drop before the crash? Why couldn't the pilots just keep on flying on the same level?

There must be a sudden behavioural change of the plane or the pilots right before it went down, but I never got it explained to me clearly why...

Second question: why did they retract the flaps? Wouldn't the wings generate more lift with flaps extended?
That's right. It is running ethereum. Serial number or unique number that identifies any physical item such as laptop has that number printed on the bottom. Having serial number stored in blockchain is similar to printing serial number in the back of an item.
I don't think you've solved the "low code" issue at all. You still have to define the process to the same level of detail; you're just thinking about it differently.

What your approach does do is create a system that is easy to parallelize. You want to run on thousands of cores/threads? Make each "person" a thread, and there you go.
If you can call it that... my site is actually a Jekyll blog, in development mode, this is running in the most needlessly Ruby way. (A production deployment would have pre-rendered all the pages, and there wouldn't be a need to have a Ruby process even be present on the running server.)

Each visitor hits a Ruby process which renders the page directly, or serves it up from filesystem cache. I'm not honestly sure which, it could be monitoring the filesystem for changes to the markdown files, and only recompiling them when it observes a change on disk... or it could be rendering each request freshly for the visitor.

It would be hard-pressed to call this a production deployment though, I can say without a blog post or any hard data to back it up that when I did side-by-side trials, the page loading response times were marginally faster with the JIT enabled, after repeated trials.

After watching @tenderlove's talk from RailsConf 2019, I think I'm obligated to say also about this that, your results will improve if you paid attention to cache hit ratios, and consider tuning the JIT Cache size to achieve the maximum benefit. Perhaps these things will be better in a later iteration of Ruby JIT?
Its disingenuous they list other browsers, but those browsers are only skins for Safari.

After years of Android, I genuinely gave Iphone a shot for a few months. But not having native Firefox + ublock origin was a deal breaker.
I don't think there's much you can do, or if there is it is none of these things. Mine was ~4.5 for forever. I was always on time, careful entering/exiting the vehicle, very polite, etc. and even regularly gave cash tips before the app offered the option.

A few years ago I started dating a girl who had nearly a 5 star rating. She eventually moved in with me and since then nearly all my trips are together. We are often late arriving to the meeting point, she has no hesitation to ask the driver to change the air temperature, adjust the music station or volume, open or close windows, always takes water when available, and asks to be dropped off at a given point regardless of traffic lights or inconvenient turns for the driver. Since this started, my rating has steadily climbed and is now around 4.8.
I'm not denying that they complied with the order to enable IP logging.

What I'm saying is that the author claims they voluntarily offer real-time logging without the need for judical intervention - per the prosecutor.

The author of the article at hand later added an addendum saying the prosecutor was mis-quoted in their article [[ and that Protonmail does not voluntarily offer real-time logging.]] (Note: The part inbetween [[]] is misleading - the prosectuor does not say that. I wrote it out rather than quoted it directly, and made an error. I am leaving it in for posterity)

The authors defense regarding the misquote is saying "I live tweeted it, so it happened".

Whether they do or not - I'm just pointing out the weakness of the argument that "I tweeted it, so it happened"
You can allow yourself to become corrupt in order to succeed financially, and try to hide that corruption from your family... but A) children, with a decade to study you, are lie detection beasts and they will see your true self, and B) the cognitive dissonance you need to frame your abusive behavior as “normal business” will interfere with your ability to learn new things that conflict with your internal narrative. Those blind spots make adjacent things harder to learn, leading to spreading blind spots, which eventually become a generalized learning disability.

See for example the Theranos board. Living as a CEO/power broker type can lead to debilitating dementia in middle age.

This is one of the reasons we so rarely see middle managers drop back down into individual contributor roles. Early dementia literally inhibits the clear thinking required for production work. In a leadership role they can rely on the management hierarchy for executive function, but lose the ability to do it alone.
Research quality data and research quality databases
Maybe I'm biased, but I recently relearned rails (having done one project in it about 6 years ago) and found it much easier to pick up than Elixir/Phoenix, despite liking Phoenix quite a bit.
From Capybara-Webkit to Headless Chrome and ChromeDriver
Google Invests in Gene Editing as Regulations Tighten
First, out of principle I have an issue with a middling rating of “3” being “bad”. One should be “bad”, two needs improvement, etc.

That said, imagine if Walmart or Wholefoods banned customers because they had middling ratings. If they shoplift, vandalize, (is in Uber’s case vomitus, vandalizing, assault, etc.) They should follow with criminal complaints, etc.

My problem is with unilateral banning —not the banning in principle as there are some good cases for it, but they are rare.
Warpstock 2019, for OS/2 Users (November in Orlando)
You need to move to a better city.
I agree with this in general but how does this relate to the article? Uber removing bad riders from the app is clearly a move to protect the drivers. I disagree with the sentiment that this is somehow unethical.
Let's separate facts from feelings. At the end of the day it really is irrelevant what indirect emotional consequences the facts have, all that matters is that we get the ones that happen to be true so that we can make the best choices going forward.

I'll try to find the sources and post them on parent.
You can share files with a maximum size of 100MB. And if I'm not mistaken, those are hosted and available without expiry date.
https://vaadin.com/ has been doing web components for a while now in open source.
In my experience, it is. College can be lonely and difficult, compounded with your highschool friends largely dispersing around the country during that time. I made friends in the dorms I still see regularly today, made many more from friends of friends in the dorms as well.
A lot of people have also been launching large scale sophisticated ddos attacks against protonmail.
Combine that with baseless over-exagerrated claims easily refuted every 3 months and what does that tell you?
Started self-hosting around a year ago. Followed online guides with some tweaks to integrate with my home's Active Directory. Other than that, only had outgoing mail bounce once from mimecast, and after a while they started accepting mail (presumably because of change of my server's ips). Configure rspamd properly and spam isn't an issue.
Boeing is an American company and a major military supplier, so don't hold your breath...
"TPMS sensor light is on (major safety risk)"

It really isn't. (very) low tire pressure is a major safety risk. The TPMS sensors I've had all seem to go off at minor deviations (few psi) from the tire pressure; deviations that aren't a safety risk.

A useful reminder that the winter is coming, but hardly a major safety risk.
We mainly use VS Code with the ESElixir plugin but I've had great luck with Intellij Idea and the Elixir plugin also.
Interview with Gabriel Weinberg, CEO at DuckDuckGo about Mental Models
Yeah, if possible, I really think replacing the pop with a fade would help a ton.
> How do you reconcile that with free speech?

I don't have to. Commercial speech isn't by definition free.

The bar owner is certainly permitted to tell their friends about something that happened, or write a book about what an asshole customer you are. That doesn't mean every for-profit database of information, no matter how personal or how obtained, is legal.

As, of course, you most certainly already know. There aren't any consumer credit reporting agencies, for example, making legal claims that the FCRA is a first amendment violation.
Jokes on them, they were deactivated off my phone years ago.
If you don't have axiomatic beliefs, then where do your beliefs come from? Some abstract feeling? Whatever "feels" right?

Clearly (to me at least), you need a system of axiomatic beliefs. If your axioms don't form a coherent system (i.e you can prove a contradiction), then you really don't believe anything at all.

It's surprising to me that very few people think about morality this way. Everyone has a different view of morality of course, but you should at the very least try and distill it into an elegant system that is a) consistent and b) has sufficient predictive power to be useful.

An example of a system that fulfills a) but not b) would be something like: There's no morality anyone can do anything they want. That's only one axiom and pretty elegant as systems go. The problem with it is that it's so trivial that it can't assign value judgements to anything at all, rendering it all but worthless.

The system that I tend to follow has three primary axioms:

1) There are two kinds of things in the world: people and property.

2) People own property and they can do anything they want with said property as long as it doesn't violate the rights of others to do the same. Moreover, the person himself is property and thus is solely owned by himself.

3) By violating the axioms above, one forfeits his right to the above axioms.

While not perfect, this system is internally consistent and also has sufficient predictive power:

If someone punches me, he's violating my property of myself (2), and therefore can be sent to jail (3). If I break into someones house, same thing: violates (2) and therefore can be punished by (3).

There are some things that the system can't assign judgements to, however: What are children? What rights do they have? What about abortion? What exactly violates someone else's property? Does air pollution can't as violation? What about the environment? What rights to animals have (the system says they're property, but some people might have a problem with others torturing animals, for example)? Where does the government get it's legitimacy? Can the government levy taxes? etc etc etc

In truth, the things it can't make judgements about are probably than the things it can. But I personally haven't found a better or more elegant system to frame the world in, so I generally stick with it while being aware of it's limitations.
I think this should be retitled to "The sorry state of OpenSSL usability [on macOS]", because the author is using the built-in OpenSSL on macOS (which, as is eventually discovered, isn't actually OpenSSL).

If you want to use OpenSSL on macOS, I suggest using the OpenSSL provided either in Brew or in MacPorts. That will give you a fully-functional setup (including help and man pages).
I too am interested in the source. Mostly out of curiosity, here in the US our laws definitely don't exclude things like building in backdoors, adding js payloads, etc (Although a few political lines have been drawn, such as Apple refusing to unlock iPhones, but these aren't written in law, they've been decided in courts and are very wishy-washy).
Mailbox is a german email service with calendar sync, online office suite and stuff like that. Also it allows completely anonymous payment if you're into that. Posteo is similar as far as I know.
Seems like it would be a good idea to reduce other risk factors regardless.
“Jerks” can be “people who are disabled and require more time getting in and out of the car”. Being on crutches, for instance, will cause your rating to fall. (At least that was my experience while in Boston)
Maybe or maybe not. If it is then it will just kick off an arms race.

Although, if Uber really knows what they're doing, then they'll allow the buying and selling of accounts and then take a percentage of the sale.
It's pretty easy to google what salaries are for various degrees, and compare that against the debt one is taking on. It should be straightforward to determine if it makes fiscal sense.
Interesting Points from Abramov’s “A Complete Guide to UseEffect”
Well, it does mean I don't need any kind of privileged access to your container, just 'ps -auwwe' as any user.
We have the same experience, our rating while in Asia was around solid 4.6 while after 3 months in Europe went up to 4.85. Our guess is that in EU, people tend to either give 5 stars or no rating, while in Asia if we had a bit worse ride, we and people around us had no hesistation of leaving 3 or 4 star review.
Understandable. Not having iMessage would be a deal breaker for me. We all have priorities!
> I wonder if maybe it just has a very powerful magnetic field that protects it, just like Earth's does.

With an orbit of 1.3 days, I would guess that it is tidally locked, which I think would make it unlikely to have a strong magnetic field.
If the driver has snow tires, they're a safer driver than one with all-weather and a blank dash.
The BBC has tons of clickbait nowadays. Contrary to what the this random guy says though, I'm sure they do it because it works.
How is Uber anywhere near a monopoly? Also, taxi companies were worse in all your criteria, Uber is actually an improvement regardless.
I did not know that. I figured that the USDA only dealt with agriculture.
The OP isn't wrong: the problem is that his point is irrelevant. The real question, to which nobody has an answer, is this: what do we do as a society when a small number of private companies corner the market for an essential part of modern life and then institute arbitrary criteria for refusing service to people? How this situation came about doesn't matter. Uber making all drivers full employees would not change the dynamic one bit.

Complaining about Uber's employment model instead of discussing this really important control question just annoys me. It deflects a potentially interesting conversation into grievance-airing about gig jobs.
Don't forget technology deflation. The less dollars you need overall (cheap energy, cheap electric mobility, technology used to make healthcare more efficient) makes a benefits haircut more tolerable (although we are a very wealthy nation and have the means to avoid a benefits haircut).

When we get to universal healthcare, if my house is paid off, I have solar on my roof, and I have a paid off electric car, I don't expect my expenses to simply survive to be that high (and could live on less than 50% of my estimated social security benefit).
> Plus, we're in a situation right now where some of our clients are being sort of amorphous on what server platform they'd like to migrate to and when, so the browser is a more stable target (ironically).

Right, but you could still do server side rendering by consuming a third party API instead of a DB directly.

Maybe bloating is not an issue in some use cases, but client side rendering can have a major impact on the CPU.
>Apple's argument would seem to be that this financial incentive is the direct result of their policies, so forcing them to change those policies would reduce or eliminate this financial incentive.

I think that Apple's policies are definitely what makes people spend more money through the app store, but that in itself is only really a financial incentive for Apple. Changing their policies would mean more apps distributed outside the app store, which would probably mean more money for developers (but less for Apple).

For an example of this, see Fortnite being distributed outside of the Google Play store. Google didn't get a cut of all the Fortnite in-app purchases, but Apple did.
From the article:

> Target, for example, is a standard, old-school brick and mortar shop. You go to find specific products and walk up and down aisles. When you find something that interests you, you don’t purchase it through that product. Instead you bring it to the Target checkout clerk, and they will charge you for it. And believe me, Target gets their fair share of the purchase of that item. If Target finds that the product has stickers telling you to purchase this item from Amazon or another location for a lesser amount, Target will remove the item from the shelves, and rightfully so. It is their brand that is bringing in the customers, not the products.

It seems at first glance like this would largely contradict Apple's earlier arguments that purchases are between app developers and consumers, and that it's just an intermediary in the process[0]. Anyone willing to comment about a subtlety to this argument I could be missing?

A small minority bitterly resent the license fee and/or believe that the BBC are just a propaganda wing of whichever political party they dislike; the vast majority regard it as a beloved national institution.

In a poll by Ipsos Mori, 59% of respondents named the BBC as the one news source they trust the most. That level of trust remains consistent across the political spectrum, with readers of the right-leaning Daily Mail and the left-leaning Guardian both reporting high levels of trust in the BBC.

It already offers much better mechanisms that the Linux ones docker uses for isolation and communication between containers.

I see it as a vastly superior competitor to Linux and Docker than a base for Docker.
Why is it tired? Because you don’t agree with it?

I would argue that your comment is the bad comment. Lots of unproven assertions, and it all began with a needless, toxic attack
Blame the terrorists.

The TSA exists for one reason: to take the insurance risk of another September 11th sized attack without grinding the air travel industry to a halt. No private company could possibly afford the liability insurance for "our guards allowed a few guys with box cutters to kill thousands of people" risk. Paying them well enough to actually do a good job is impracticable at the scale of the US air travel system[1]. So the TSA was created so that the Federal Government would bear the risk, but the pay was not really improved over the private contractors who did the job for as little as possible pre-September 11th.

[1]: Many people talk about the Israeli system, especially when they are trying to justify racial profiling here in the US. What they fail to grasp is that the scales are radically different. Total air passenger #'s in Israel in 2018 was roughly 20% of just Atlanta Hartfield-Jackson, and it was basically all at one airport- US carriers carry more passengers every 10 days than fly in and out of Israel in a year. That means that individual attention is possible in ways that are not in the US context.
Tire pressure sensors are super flaky. Mine come on randomly all the time, and after the first few dozen times I stopped to put a real gauge on them and saw that all four were right at the rated pressure, I've gotten to the point where I just ignore it and punch the button on the dash to hide the warning. It's the kind of false negative feedback that is especially unhelpful.

It doesn't help that it is completely opaque what the thresholds are for when the warning light goes off; I also don't know whether one is supposed to recalibrate anything if you change the type of tire that you are running - for instance, I run snow tires during the winter that have a different PSI rating than my all-seasons the rest of the year...
