I think you're missing my point, so let's specify a bit more of a threat model.

Attacker has code execution on your system and wants to maintain persistence and exfiltrate sensitive browser data. Sounds reasonable for Mozilla - at least, it's not totally nuts of them to consider this in their threat model.

One avenue, and a popular one, is to then sideload a malicious extension. An attacker who can disable the extension check can do this easily. An attacker who can't has to resort to other means - packaging a separate payload to host the extension.

Does that sound reasonable? I don't want to argue, just to explain my perspective on this issue based on the attacks I have seen.
Yeah but when you partner with companies, they sometimes force your company to adhere to those ancient guidelines.

I’ve worked for companies where they ask for the out of date NIST stuff you mention and it’s either you follow what they ask or you lose out on a deal to fund your company.

The market is LTE modems, not Qualcomm LTE modems.

If you define the market to be a single company’s offerings, when there are other companies that make similar products (Android and the Android App Store) then the concept of monopoly has become a tautology.

The problem some people are having goes back to the concept of the walled garden in the first place and general purpose compute devices.

Apple does not have a responsibility to provide general purpose computing smartphones that can run any software you want. If Congress wants to pass a law saying that they do, then fine, but it seems quite to stretch to claim that anti-trust law is designed for that.
This is an Israeli propaganda page with 500k likes:

https://m.facebook.com/DailyCupOfJane/

The "about" section presents it as:

"Sugar, spice, and everything nice.Changing the world, one mug at a time. We're your daily girl power pick-me-up.

Cup of Jane is a community launched by TIP’s Future Media Project in DC. We love our communities!"

The discreet acronym TIP stands for "The Israel Project":

The page mixes feminist and feel-good messages with subtle propaganda for Israel. When is Facebook going to take it down?
100% agreed, the issue I have with Keto and other related fashionable diets is that for the majority of people who attempt they aren't necessary to what they are trying to achieve and like you say, born out of poor relationship to food and health.

As someone who has also tried a lot of different diets and training plans to me the most sane approach to weight loss is still moderation with calorie/macro tracking which is far simpler to implement, not restrictive and personally, more enjoyable.
This is a super cool project. Spot checking WA state (where I was born and still live), the results are accurate and interesting! There are some comments about wanting to resolve duplicates (though duplicates are intentional), would be neat to include a "Born in this city" setting. I believe if the person was born in X city, they would show up in the "List of people from X" page - so not many changes needed.

Bravo!
Not worth fighting it, of course. But unless they bought the company out of bankruptcy, you don't get to choose to buy a company's assets but ignore their liabilities.

That would be like buying a company that owes money on a building and telling the bank that you won't be making payments because you are keeping the building, but not the debt.

That's why a big part of mergers and acquisitions is researching all the possible liabilities that may exist for the company to be acquired.

If you want to sell a product in Apple’s physical store, there’s no way to do it without Apple.

That’s not a monopoly. That’s them exercising control over their own property.

What’s the rationale to treat Apple’s digital store different than Apple’s physical store?
On the other hand, consider a video call on the iPhone XS with v.s. a $50 phone with a low resolution screen. The value of a high bandwidth internet connection is higher when the screen allows you to perceive the difference.

Also according to Google, Inbox was rolled into Gmail but I think most people would agree that Gmail still lacks a lot of the important features that pulled people to Inbox in the first place.
I feel sorry for you with only 4GB of RAM. Ive not had that little in either a personal PC or work PC in over 10 years. At work, I have 16 GB and at home 64 GB. Work, the problem is the size of the data sets I'm trying to work with. Pull all exposure factors from a vendor for a 2 year period? Yeah, I'm going to run out of memory. 10 years of daily, over 500 data points per date into a pandas DataFrame just doesn't work.

At home, a lot of the 64 GB goes towards running VMs amd actively disabling paging (don't want to burn out my SSD via heavy paging).

At previous job, also had 16 GB of RAM, could run out of memory by doing a large build under WSL. Apparently McAfee has any issue with WSL that leaks memory like a drive in manner that can only be reclaimed via a restart of the entire system.
I would guess that the parent comment's point is still true: Emacs (and Vim) are far more commonly used for programming and other work, probably ASCII heavy, than for natural language text editing.

I'd be willing to bet that for both Emacs and Vim, 90%+ characters by volume are ASCII. I wouldn't make a similar bet for Microsoft Word.
That seems to be a prime example of "too little, too late", and looks like a rather han-fisted attempt to appear fair.

Keto is great. I've been in ketosis for a year now and can even eat a moderate amount of fruit. The only complex carbs I eat is fibre. I also eat quite a bit of protein including shakes. I combine this with endurance exercise. I didn't need to lose any weight and still lost 10kg. I have to add ~1000 calories of virgin coconut/olive oil to my diet daily to maintain my weight. Pretty sure the article is factually incorrect.

I was trying to limit the context to recent times specially for this reason. You're absolutely correct, they won't get all the rights and privileges that previous people in power had, not should they. And you're correct that they won't receive those rights alone. However they should receive the benefits that they are entitled to by the efforts of their work and their character and the arc of history is slowly bending in that direction Unfortunately none of this means that there won't be an inevitable backlash against those who deserve it the least.
Regarding shortcuts, this is where using Vim emulator extensions help a lot. I just install such an extension on any new browser, then the shorcuts are more or less the same (vim keybingdings).

I'd recommend taking a look at the ifixit teardown here: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Amazon+Echo+Dot+Teardown/613...

They document which chips are inside. This is first gen, but they don't have a second-gen with the same chip description. You probably have second (which is for the better, as it's a mediatek running android and much more usable).

Thanks for clarifying that- you are correct. That doesn't seem to work on cache domains, but if I scroll down to other types of storage I can indeed delete items all at once or individually. When I tried that now it wasn't repainting so it appeared to have no effect, but when I refreshed within the Storage inspector the data was gone. When I refresh the page, repainting after deleting started working as expected. Weird.
You misunderstood the comment. I didn't mean it's fine. Most people don't like censorship. I just presented the perspective from the other side.

Regarding your point about the "against US economy" or "against China economy". Maybe you are in a war mindset. If we jump out this "war" mindset, we can see "China's barring of US enterprises from selling in China" is really not about against the "US economy". It's about censorship.

1) There are many US companies which are very successful in China, Qualcomm, Apple, Nike, Starbuck, etc. Actually, I rarely heard any stories about the market access problem for non-internet companies in China.

2) There is a "forced IP transfer/partnership" issue in some sectors, for example, the auto sector. It is very unfair. But the result of it is also very complex. I will address it in a separate post.

3) The market access issue of many internet companies, such as Facebook/Google, is about censorship policies. Google operated in China several years ago, but it withdrew from the market because of the censorship requirements from the government. Apple complies with the requirement, so it works well in China. I didn't mean "Censorship" is a good thing. I just mean as far as I can understand, it's about "censorship", not about "against US economy".

"Magnitude of impact": Could you explain more about this point?
It's still going to be a hassle, but you should be able to do it fairly easily with the OneTab plugin and its import/export functionality. The plug-in exists for both browsers and I've moved sessions that way before.
I'd say Intel should just spin out it's 5G modem team and let a neutral (!Apple) vendor develop it.

Samsung should start selling 5G modems in NA as well. I know this stuff isn't going to work in the short term, but this is the sort of choices we need.

Are you saying, categorically, that they're always a waste of time?

I work in a regulated field (medical devices), and it is my experience that, with a culture of safety and quality minded individuals, that code reviews are always a net positive.
I, personally, think you're full of it, but I'm offering you the opportunity to present evidence for your claim that using AdNauseam is "interstate ad fraud" that leads to arrests of its users. If I were the dev I'd consider those claims potentially libelous.

This is a great article! This part really hit home:

> But New York’s transit stations are still overdesigned. All recent stations have full-length mezzanines, which require larger station caverns and therefore more expense. (Why must all these new stations look like the Batcave?)

In DC, you’ve got these cavernous underground stations, a testament to brutalist architecture. In Chicago, you’ve got a wooden platform on some steel girders. Which is more expensive to build and refurbish? Chicago rebuilt 10 miles of the red line in five months for half a billion. DC has spent years just trying to get the tracks to stop catching fire.

The new stuff is just so overdesigned. The silver line has these giant stations high in the air over freeway medians, with air bridges to connect them to the entrances. Many METRA stations are just a wood platform on an embankment.

And the article really hits the point. It’s not just the inefficiency. It’s about imagining how much more transit you could build if our costs were lower.
Not a lawyer and would be interested to read a constitutional law journal on this.

I think the answer hinges on where the speech is considered to be, and whether the speaker is an American.

An Iranian national handing out leaflets in Washington, D.C. is protected speech by virtue of it occurring in the United States.

An American national posting on the internet is protected from United States government orders to censor their speech, regardless of where they post it, by virtue of their nationality.

Where it gets murky is: "Is an Iranian national posting on Facebook 'in America'? Does it depend on whether they make a comment in Iran or in the United States?"

That's the sort of hypothetical that a court might be keen to sidestep entirely and instead ask, "Is it constitutional for the US to order a US company (Facebook) to engage in non-viewpoint neutral censorship?"
Interesting idea. Are you trying to tap into the same psychological drive or whatever that has people buy a message on the big screen at sporting events? Do you have a "Will you marry me?" option? :)

It would be nice to see more of the available designs and functionality without having to download the app. Like do I need to have my phone out to prompt the message on the screen to appear? Or can I do it real sneaky-like with my phone in my pocket and nudge my fiance to look at the screen to see the "Will you marry me?" message? In general I guess as a potential customer it seems weird that the promo pictures all have the person's phone out showing the same thing as the screen. Like it takes the magic away or something, I dunno.

I think a video that pulls at heartstrings would help. Also being able to see all current locations on the website would be nice. Regardless it seems pretty impressive that you have random screens spattered throughout NYC.

I'm more technical but a lower level "how it works" (bluetooth, etc.) would be nice, address privacy concerns, etc.

Just some random internet feedback for you, good luck!

EDIT: Read the app store description which answers some questions.

I agree with the point about the nationalism, and occasionally jingoism from US outlets across the political spectrum.

Fox, The Sun, and other Murdoch media has so definite an agenda, that it can't be distinguished from propaganda. I don't know how else to describe it. Have seen so little output from CNN that I can't comment.

Murdoch's cosying up to those in power - of both sides of politics - is so blatant and outrageous, in several of the countries he's operated in it's a wonder it's not firmly illegal. It has been his intent to turn many an election.
The GPL is not compatible with Apple's App Store restrictions, so giving away your source code is not sufficient to comply with the GPL.

"The primary problem is that Apple imposes numerous legal restrictions on use and distribution...through the iTunes Store Terms of Service, which is forbidden by section 6 of GPLv2."

https://www.fsf.org/news/2010-05-app-store-compliance

See also https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/59495

There is also a significant difference between giving away free applications and giving away the source code. Both from an internal perspective (the company may want to charge for the product or related products or products on other platforms now or in the future) and an external perspective (the app may require other software for which the company does not have rights to release source code).

Those minimum/maximum rates are different depending on if you state has medicaid expansion or not.

But I think the rates you posted are federal poverty level for a family of 4. Obamacare coverage kicks in at 138% of FPL all the way up to 400% of fpl.

Below 138% FPL disqualifies you for obamacare because you would qualify for state medicaid coverage.

Concept of 2D scanning an essentially 3D artifact tangentially brought to mind the problem of tens of thousands of cuneiform clay tablets that are waiting to be deciphered. One good way to do this would be to 3D scan them and share the scans among academic institutions but for some reason this is not done at scale, e.g. see this recent post: http://persiababylonia.org/2018/07/31/3d-scanning-clay-table.... Cost is an issue but my guess it's not the only one.

Building a cheap hand scanner by using a cheap 3D sensor, e.g. https://www.adafruit.com/product/3316 is perennially on my project todo list. Anybody else finds this interesting?

> Consider the 64 GB iPhone XS selling for $1000 vs the 512 GB one for $1349.

Sure, first, QCOM licensing fee only applies to the first $400, which is in turn also based on the wholesale, not retail, price from Apple's contract manufacturers.

second, without QCOM, Apple wouldn't be able to price the iPhone XS at $1000 (or the iPhone 7 at $550), much less sell nearly as many units. Would you even consider paying $550 for the 128GB iPod Touch, which is essentially at feature parity with the iPhone 7, but without QCOM's IP?
I heard an ICU physician say that here in Australia a cause of death must be put on the death certificate and that the usual choice is "myocardial infarction" (heart attack). Whereas a better choice might be simply "old age", but this is not an acceptable cause. So I guess that this is one of the reasons why "heart attack" is listed as the most common cause of death.
Compare that to London’s Crossrail where the platforms are 250m long and many central stations are double ended, a ticket hall/access at either end.
I'm definitely excited about this, especially after paying $36/month for a NAT that I barely used for a long, long time, and spending too many hours configuring it for my Lambdas.

That said, I don't know how Jeremy Daly got away with making that post, per AWS preview terms. They are pretty explicit about not posting benchmarks on their preview products, and that makes sense as the API is not stable at all.

Still, I'm glad to see the data and hope that the performance has improved. I wasn't accepted into the preview, and I've started work now to move most of our infrastructure to GCP.

I used to volunteer with an organization in Philadelphia for the blind and vision impaired. I read Playboy articles to a blind co-worker who entered it as Braille into a computer program. They had a press as well, to produce Braille documents and mail them to individuals and libraries. It was an interesting experience. An older woman would take a black sharpie and scribble over all the "interesting" photos before giving the Playboy issue to me to read.

I became interested in Braille Kobographs ( http://www.dotlessbraille.org/kobographs.htm ) and did some experiments with turning it into a font ( https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/365490/braille_ko... ).

2 different studies are discussed in the article:

For the second study, also in the BMJ, a team at the University of Navarra in Pamplona monitored the eating habits and health of nearly 20,000 Spanish graduates from 1999 to 2014. Over the course of the study, 335 participants died. Once factors such as age, sex, body mass index and whether or not people smoked were taken into account, the trend was clear. The top quarter consumers of ultra-processed foods – who had more than four servings a day – were 62% more likely to have died than those in the bottom quarter, who ate less than two portions a day. For each additional serving, the risk of death rose 18%.
I’m failing to see in this press release what set Phantom Secure apart from, say, iMessage?

I remember in the past reading about them, and as I recall they were marketing way too specifically to the criminal element and had direct knowledge and support of specific illegal acts.

There’s providing cryptography services, and then there’s becoming the IT arm of the cartel. I suspect they leaned too far toward the latter, but this press release doesn’t really explain it.
