Nope. They have market power.

If there's 30 equivalent services to choose from and using none is also a viable option there's no market power and no issue. I hope they get rich without market power but it's of no significance to me.

As soon as they (for all values of they) have market power and can have a huge effect over what you can and can't do - they need to be bound by law and regulation. This is the textbook definition of market failure. Libertarians and Bernie should see it much the same way. I personally believe you keep regulation the hell out it until you have market failure (so I'm not with bernie) - which this is, they're enacting defacto laws and taxes on the population here for an agenda not agreed to by that population. Same as if standard oil could tell you where you could drive your car. Same as if your electricity company could tell you what you are allowed to read with your electric lights. Same as if your phone company dropped your call for saying "fk" out loud.

Market failure is a thing that happens often (public goods, property rights enforcement, industries that tend to monopoly) and we bring in regulation when it does and watch those regulators closely(!!) We have elections to make sure the regulation is done in a way that we can live with.

Does that mean that changes in data on the server are automatically pushed to the client, i.e. if you're viewing a customer and someone else is editing that customer, you will see the data in your view change in real time?

Or is it just using AJAX instead of traditional server-side rendering?
I switched to Chrome the same day the beta was released mostly because of the speed. Nowadays I stay because I keep my passwords synced over my Google Account and I'm not sure if Firefox works with that.

No, close() only closes the file descriptor. fclose() potentially also flushes a userspace buffer.

The bubble is always almost bursting... And the next recession is always just around the corner...

Right, because there is no car traffic in London or Tokyo or Paris or Hong Kong or Berlin, even though they are all noted for having some the best public transit.
I don’t think it is possible to offend me with your posts (for the record I didn’t read it, I am sorry if you spent any time writing it). Maybe you should start a blog or something instead of ranting about something entirely offtopic and trying to derail the thread.
There is a package for Arch as well, and it was previously in the default package, but they removed it again temporarily. This is keeping me on Chromium as well, but if it were added to Firefox then I'd reconsider.
It’s not hard to have an upward trend from zero.

I was expecting to see discussions of something like a yield curve in this article, not the fashion sense of CEOs...

Market timing is pretty much impossible for most people. So many people said we’re heading for a crash 3, 4, 5 years ago. They lost out on so many gains. We might crash tomorrow, or we might crash in 5 years. Nobody knows for sure. Market timing based on articles like this is a fool’s game.

I’d really love these people who constantly predict the crash to also predict when the market will pick up, but of course they never do. They just keep predicting a crash and eventually get lucky. And we only remember the correct predictions. Why don’t they put their money where their mouth is and actually show us all that they’re investing according to their predictions as well...

That's a feature. Chrome will refuse to remember history so that you can reopen the tab, however it will remember all other data from the closed tab such as cookies. If you log into a website in an incognito window, close all tabs of that website and then open a new tab and navigate to the site again, you'll still be logged in.

It tricks you into thinking that session state is kept only per-tab by disabling a useful feature (history), however the incognito session's state is actually scoped per-window and not properly cleared/forgotten until you close the window.

Firefox knows how to have temporary window-local cookies/site data _and_ history. Chrome doesn't know how to keep the history. It's a missing feature IMHO.

Can't they make the apps available in certain countries but not others? I.e. do something that's legal in the country in question? I don't know the legal specifics but it's seem silly to me if they weren't able to.

Yes, it is breaking the promise of what it is supposed to do. If fsync() was defined as "will ensure your data is on disk, unless that's kinda slow, then who knows", then the behaviour would not be broken, just potentially useless for many applications. But if you promise to ensure something is stored on disk, and then don't, that's the definition of being broken.
Oh man I have so many questions. I've been thinking about doing this one day myself but haven't been able to find good answers to the below.

How much time do you spend as a parent teaching or overseeing homeschooling? Are you encouraging your kids to go to college? And if they did want to go to college do they realistically have the option to pick the school they want? Any state or country requirements you need to adhere to in terms of curriculum? Have your kids ever expressed an interest in going to school? I can see homeschooling work well for disciplines like math or programming but have any of your kids expressed interest in something like medicine or law where prestige matters a lot? Are kids really self motivated to learn anything? How much structure do you impose? Do you find that they do more projects and experiments as opposed to reading theoretical stuff?

This is not an accurate representation of the current status quo. Medical marijuana is effectively legal at the federal level in states where it is legal. The federal government, via the appropriations bill has not allocated any funding to prosecuting these crime. More recent case law has clarified the meaning of this, it explicitly forbids prosecuting these crimes in states where medical marijuana is legal. In a number of cases where the accused was charged and plead guilty, prosecution was later stopped(and hundreds of thousands in cash, and precious metals that were seized, were all returned) because of this.
Apart from actual malware, this is the only browser extension I know of to have been blacklisted by Google. If you want to use it in Chrome you have to jump through hoops.

That's not a very nice way to do it. It only takes a busy month outside of "the grid" to become inactive. I'd rather have the option to trust a handful of users which have all report that I'm dead before taking any actions. People having a bit of trouble after I die is way better than I having to deal with an inactivated account while living.

One premise this article is based on is that more features = a better product. However that isn't always the case. Having a codebase which makes it easier to add new features isn't necessarily going to make that product succeed over a competitor.

If Product A adds 10 bad/mediocre features it'll become bloated and hard to use. If Product B, in the meantime, adds 2 good/great features the market will recognise this. Now Product A is stuck with 10 features they don't want. And good luck trying to take away those features from your users!

I believe the forwarding is only done if the card was marked as a replacement due to damage or expiry. If reported as stolen the forwarding shouldn't happen. Not sure what happens in the case of lost.

OP said they didn't report it as stolen so that might be the reason why the charges are being forwarded.
Yup, also annoyed by the dark pattern. To add insult to injury, below $20, it removes the option to pay with a card, and only allows bitcoin - interesting approach to tax, perhaps! Whatever the reason, I don't use bitcoin, and even if I wasn't already annoyed by the bait and switch, I wouldn't be bothered jumping through so many hoops. What a shame, the content looked as if it might be good, but no chance of me giving money with that level of disrespect for the reader.
Golang is extremely simple. There aren't many choices in design. so it's easier to control quality.
Indeed. The point discussed in the grandparent relates to indirect access to the daemon. E.g., a process (not under direct user control) communicating with the Docker daemon via http API. The point being that the cp endpoint can be compromized without the user having direct control over the API parameters.

It's cheaper to develop high quality software, so let's all pay $500k+ a year to hire people capable of doing it for us, find a recruiting team good enough to find them, build a culture they actually want to join, and then hire enough of them that they have time to do regular code reviews, write tests, refactor code, etc.

High quality software takes a lot more than management telling everyone it's ok if they want to write high quality code.
They don't make it easy to switch to the preview. None of my Safari settings seem to have been imported, all my bookmarks are gone and the 'import bookmarks from Firefox' doesn't work either :(

I'm biased as I'm an EE, but I'd say that the Laplace transforms within the Electrical section are firmly in the realm mathematics, so keep them. It just so happens that they are only really useful in the domain of digital signal/control processing, and I think to get the true form or radioactive decay(?) though I may be mistaken. I'd put it next to information on Fourier transforms. The circuit theory may be a bit unnecessary though I agree.
Correct, the are multiple ways to extend each of the limits, even one based on food, however mathematical limits on complexity exist and are really hard to surpass. On the upside, we're really far from them.
Smart matter is not quite in our grasp.

Once we figured out information-theoretic entropy we got tools to set bottom limits on everything. I'm not entirely sure when, but Kolmogorov was quite some time ago.
The math is in good company of Shannon and Fischer.

Remember that reducing costs by not doing something has risks. Existential risks in fact.

From my experience, many advertisers do so little QA, they'll hardly notice that their conversion rate dips a little. And if they do, they'll look for problems elsewhere: Google is never wrong.
This is funny - because I actually resisted switching to Chrome initially because it didn’t support multiple profiles at all.

FWIW, I find Firefox’s support for multiple profiles fine - it just requires the -P argument, which you can wrap up in a shortcut or launcher script. (On Windows, add -no-remote to force a new instance to launch). -P takes an optional profile name, so you can add it to your scripts to auto-launch a Firefox with a particular profile preloaded.

Sure, it could use a proper UI, but if enough people clamour for it I’m sure that can get added. The fundamental support for multiple profiles is quite good.
I see hardly anything even about advertising in there? Let alone anything about ad blockers. It's just generic statements/quotes about monopoly, privacy, browser wars, etc... and a few notes about how promoting the web helps promote Google's products/services indirectly too, which helps their bottom line... which Google itself has been saying openly since forever. There's nothing there particularly predictive of this particular chain of events.
Sure it does. I keep my passwords synchronized with a Firefox account through my Windows, Linux and Android devices. Works like a charm. I won't trust google to keep them.

Why do people act like this is all some great big accident, the result of eternal human fallibility?

It's not. This was planned. It was the objective all along. Why else do you think Google Maps is free? Gmail? Why did they drive around 1,000s of cities with cameras on a car taking photos for Street View? Was it really just to become the world's most comprehensive search engine? Hell no, it was to get people into the ecosystem and to stay there, and be content with doing so. Just think how much money and manpower went into each of those free products we take for granted, not the least of which includes the Google search engine; now think about how they make so much money off your attention that they can offer it free of charge, because sucking you into the ecosystem is just that profitable.

Chrome is the same thing. Why would a for-profit company develop a web browser more or less unprompted and give it away for free? To draw people into the system and get them comfortable with staying there. Now that they have monopoly power, they can start tightening their grip with the good old embrace, extend, extinguish.

Google isn't unique in this. Similar arguments could be made about Facebook.

To be sure, Google and Facebook have produced tremendous advances in science and technology. But let's not forget what funded them, or why they were developed in the first place. Lest we forget why these things play out the way they do.
You are not alone. Seems like formula's are not vector anymore from page 121.
Given that a protest by its very nature is a disruptive event, i consider this fair game. Otherwise you're trying to silence dissenting opinion by outmanuvering, and how is it NOT totalitarian to silence dissent?
Exactly, unless the author of the article reveals his positions in the market it’s hard to take seriously.

Not saying I disagree about the possibility of a bubble - but timeframes and magnitude matter - and talk is cheap. A public investment portfolio or asset allocation strategy is worth a 1000 Medium posts.

Otherwise the prediction in the article amounts to ‘something will crash... at some point’. It’s really that generic.
Kolmogorov was about 90 years ago. Shannon, similar. Neither of their accomplishments will limit future accomplishments and understanding (except those bound slavishly to such frameworks [as good as they may be today in certain applications])

This is the solution. It's similar to how reddit has subreddits so we can ignore the bad ones. Or go digging for it if you are so inclined.

Facebook needs to the same. Just put all that garbage in a "spam folder" and let people go digging for it if they so choose.
Energy usage would be my only complaint with Firefox. When I'm on my MBP, it does drain a bit faster (not horribly) when I have a few FF browser tabs open.

File under "things that would be illegal if American legislators had any moral integrity".
Yes, you could potentially do something like that. A cache is only in essence "I keep a local store, if someone asks for something which is already in the local store, I give them that - if not, I go and get it, put it in the local store for the next person that wants it, and then give them that". Of course, having things expire (knowing when to remove them from the cache) is not a trivial problem, but there's a lot of prior art out there (look for "cache expiry") and there's also quite a lot built in to HTTP to ensure that HTTP content can be cached well (proxies are a very common thing - look in to "HTTP cache headers").

Of course, in your case, it might be debatable in terms of utility - if you're trying to replace a scan, you probably are trying to get results as "up to date" as you can - which would be prevented if the cache avoided doing that! The cache would have the same rate limits, and so you would be just as well off adjusting the frequency you currently scan. Of course, if you can't control that frequency (perhaps multiple uncoordinated scanners) a proxy is one way to give you that control - so maybe useful!
Yup I guess what I was describing was more of an ideal software development environment, but fully recognize that there are many cases where being too transparent can cause issues. Hopefully those projects paid well, at least, to make up for all the frustration. :)
I suspect that the basic problem is related to how the tech previews interact with things like security updates -- essentially STP ships without a full release process, and isn't updated in line with major security fixes -- which together probably warrants an STP not having the required rights to pull in access to safari preferences, and just from a reliability PoV restrict their desire to pull in other browser preferences.

TBH I don't see much of a bubble by these metrics. My indicators for "not in a bubble" are:

1. New grads are more interested in getting a job at a big company than in getting a job at a hot startup.

2. Fundraising requires revenue.

3. There is a constant negative press cycle around the industry.

4. People are moving out of Silicon Valley.

5. CEOs from the last bubble are getting indicted.

All of these are present today. Meanwhile, out of the article's list, the only bubble indicator I see is that Apple, Facebook, Google, and Amazon have all built shiny new headquarters. Tech P/Es are incredibly low compared to the general market (Apple is at 14 vs. the market's 25 or so), and the market P/E is not out of line with interest rates (P/E of 25 implies a real rate of return of about 4%, vs. about 2% for Treasuries. Mark Zuckerburg and Larry Page are too busy raising kids to either attend to their companies or be celebrities, Tim Cook is busy running his company, and Jeff Bezos is busy getting divorced. Haven't noticed any particular CEO fashion. People are looking to grey-haired figures for leadership, not young people. Six-figure tech salaries are just inflation: there's money (real money, not bubble-money) in tech, and intense competition for employees, and so that filters down to wages.

If anything, the real tech bubble burst in 2015 with the unraveling of Theranos, Zenefits, and Uber, and we've been in tech recession since. 2015 also seemed to be peak Silicon Valley rent increases, and the last time you could raise capital on just an idea. There was a mini-bubble in crypto in 2017, but that also popped, and the dominant zeitgeist today is complaints about how shitty life is, how there's no growth anywhere, and how we're on the precipice of a revolution, civil war, environmental catastrophe, dictatorship, or all 4.
