I agree that abusive newsrooms are bad. But the question remains: how do you discriminate between genuine anonymous allegations and false anonymous allegations? People, regardless of their positions in society, can be shitty. Heck, for all we know, the only people writing on this site are the abusive newsrooms themselves trying to smear their competitors - thus funneling more people towards the abusive newsrooms.
The dev tools in Safari are OK, usable and useful enough for the odd task. But there's no reason your everyday browser has to be your primary web dev environment too. I switch to Chrome when doing front-end web dev or hacking in WebGL playgrounds.
Altough i really like flutter, i absolitely dont understad why these guys propose dart for it... it's just sad...
I do like the datepicker, but wish they had a panel between the calender month view, and the year navigation that displayed the months of a given year. Date of Birth is a very common use case, and navigation between months would be faster for more than 1-2 forward/backward as an intersticial.

Didn't test for small displays, or the other components.

Aside: I would prefer they used the term Browser Components or HTML Components instead of "web components" as it makes people think of the Web Components standard.

This looks like fb comment page than a hacker news one.

So I just downloaded all of my search activity into nice JSON files, and now I am going to apply a bit of data science and magic stuff using Python and Node.JS and I will have a nice profile of myself for the past 11 years:

1) What kind of questions did I ask google? (beginning with how, when, where etc) - how do these questions connect to my personal and career development?
2) Apply some sentiment analysis using sentiment.js on the search terms and find out if the particular search term was positive, negative or neutral (this will give me a nice overview of my mood for each day I searched for the last one decade)
3) do some filtering and data massaging to pick out the exceptions (ok just a cursory look at the file helped me discovered a forgotten website project I did 10 years ago as part of college summer project - a work I am extremely proud of during that time and even now.) - which days, months, the year I searched the most (or what events triggered the searches - a breakup, a job search or a side project)
4) discover interesting patterns of my search profile (what I searched most during college time, after college when searching for a job, before marriage, after marriage etc.)
5) make a video on the lines of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnsSUqgkDwU

so many fcking brilliant things I can do with my data. But what? Google has a copy of the same too? baby cry* What am gonna do? In a larger scheme of things, my data profile is just too insignificant.

To quote from the front page of Hacker News post, "The second volume of “My Struggle”, Karl Ove Knausgaard’s enormous, maddening, brilliant autobiographical novels, contains some depressing life advice. “If I have learned one thing,” he sighs, “it is the following: don’t believe you are anybody. Don’t bloody believe you are somebody…Do not believe that you’re anything special. Do not believe that you’re worth anything, because you aren’t.”

Not worried if Google tracks a skipped song history or an irrelevant app install on the gazillionth device I own. More worried about google's anticompetitive behaviour (blocking youtube on edge chromium and more recently making jobs of ad blockers even difficult) and even more larger questions such as what if Google starts to non exists tomorrow? Life after Google?
> the performance improved quite a bit with subsequent firmware updates.

But it didn't improve enough to be useful for anything practical. The most useful thing I could make it do reliably was detect swiping your hand left and right. I was really hoping I could use it as a mouse replacement on laptops, but accurately tracking individual finger placement never materialized.

Everybody is moving to the cloud so EMR, Dataproc, Dataflow, etc. are still going to be around

Plus everyone is moving away from Hadoop and HDFS, so it's Spark, S3, GCS, Databricks, etc
+1. Really a well structured and written article, with a good mix of clear prose & graphics to keep it interesting.

I'm in awe of folks who make the time for the kind of effort this requires.

Fair point, that’s is what I have seen so far.

It is sad that you would like to give up freedom of speech with such weak excuse.
It takes less than 3 seconds to find a lost tab even with 300+ in Firefox. Ctrl+L, type in a keyword.
Are most good schools in large cities in the US? Because I definitely heard about how different neighbourhoods have different quality schools there based on the income of the people in the area, but I haven't heard anything about whether that correlates to the area's overall population.

It certainly doesn't seem to here in the UK, where quite a few of the top schools are old fashioned 'public schools' located in rural/semi rural areas.
Hope they're able to open source some of their tech if this does come to pass.
Hey! Do you mind sending me one too, if you have any left? :)

---- Thank you very much. :) ---
Google's dataproc and Azure's HDInsight as well. The cloud players are swallowing whatever is left of the hadoop market.
So his evidence the car was on autopilot is that the driver didn't have his hands on the wheel? Plenty of people do that in cars with no driver assist at all.
While Firefox is pretty great, be under no illusion that it’s a utopia of openness. It’s plugins are signed and quite tightly controlled. They banned the controversial ‘Dissenter’ plug-in seemingly for political reasons, and recently had the expired certificate ‘oops’ that rendered all plugins unusable for a day or so (without fiddly workarounds)

They too could well bend to corporate pressures to limit ad-blocking, they already have the tech that could be used to block widespread use of ad blockers?
I'd use Safari over Chrome, but Safari has a couple of show-stopping bugs:

1. Swiping back on the trackpad to navigate backwards freezes the page for a couple of seconds. It then redraws the page with any updated elements (perhaps a refresh?).

2. The element CSS attributes in the dev tools often fail to update the DOM, duplicate with every keystroke, or revert what you have typed.
Or Safari, which, for my family that uses iPhones, is completely sufficient for their needs - and has good privacy settings (AND sane default privacy settings.)

Have you tried this one? https://purelyfunctional.tv/guide/clojure-jvm/

Looks like a very good and up-to-date guide to the JVM for Clojure developers.

Without denying or confirming that Chrome's security is better than any other browser, how often have you heard of someone with an up-to-date Firefox, Edge, Safari, Chrome, or some other major browser, being hacked this way? If you do an honest risk analysis, how big is the extra risk of using a less secure browser (assuming your statement is true)? And is a single 0day (which Chrome has just as well) enough to compromise your entire life, like, you would probably have defense in depth (running the browser in a VM, for example) if you're that worried in the first place?

For those who think I'm just jabbing and that a VM would be too unpactical: at work (we're a security firm) we have a fresh VM for each new project for compartmentalization. Our browser, tools, everything runs in there and nothing should ever reach the host --- unless, of course, you have a VM escape, but then you need two zero-days instead of one. For more sensitive projects, even more measures are taken, but that's rare: you have to draw the line somewhere.

Just saying "Chrome is the only secure option" is a little too short-sighted I think.
For me the Chrome Web Store is the first result. It's actually somewhat strange since I'm on Firefox and you'd think Google would know better.
A disproportionate number of iffy products are Chinese though.

There are a couple of situation playing out here in NZ that are pretty bad.

Weak steel that will fail under stress being the main one. When used in earthquake strengthening you can see the issue, and it seems to have caused train derailments here too.

And we got a batch of dodgy locomotives.

Fake milk caused financial problems for a NZ parent company, while in China it was a literal baby killer, with 54,000 hospitalised and 12 killed.

Great products come out of Chiba but it has a long way to go.

I don't think "related articles" painting a positive or negative light are necessarily going to indicate bias.

This is akin to Tump's complaint that any given media outlet doesn't write enough positive articles about them... that wouldn't indicate a lack of bias even if they did write them 50/50 or 100/0.
I tried it out, but honestly it didn't help. Dealing with 300+ tabs at a time, it just made hierarchical resolution a total mess.

I don't need to know the physical location of my tab. That's what the address bar and Ctrl+Tab are for.
>Because I think that future is worse than the one that's full of fake video...

That's my point.

Going down the hardware cryptography path certainly does solve the problem. I'm not here to try and claim that it doesn't. The issue is, 10 or 20 years down the road, how have humans been conditioned because of the fact that only certain cameras can be validated to be real?

If cryptography takes over, 20 years from now, no one is going to convict any guy of rape because they see him on a non-signed camera video, or a non-signed CCTV feed. (And don't get me wrong, they shouldn't convict the guy if that's the so called evidence the prosecutor has.)

What I'm asking is that everyone take a deep breath, slow down for a minute, and just think about the implications of that.

And I was being generous in the scenario I laid out here. In reality, I don't believe it would take 20 years to condition us to dismiss non-signed video out of hand.
Is this decision really baked so hard into Blink that forked browsers like Edge and Vivaldi can't provide their own APIs? Seems unlikely to me.
So nice my two favorite apps nvim and nvalt got merged.

Anyone already tried it, how is it?
Is this why San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Mountain View are all Steve Jobs?
The interesting part is the historical contingency of the distribution, that is based not just on rational economic principles but purposeful policy.

For example, you would need to explain why up from post-war until the mid-70s you see increases in income for most people basically matching increases in productivity, and why today there is a disjunction between the two.

It isn't merely a principle at work.
Why Some People Are Always Late to the Airport
"Those connected to and victims of criminal acts" are supposed to be excluded, so Ted Bundy should probably be removed from Burlington and Salt Lake City.

edit: and while I'm looking at Lake Champlain, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are in Plattsburgh, NY, though the link doesn't work.

edit 2: Oops, I read "including" as "excluding" because that's what I expected, never mind!

That's different, because technically, it's pro-intellectual. Fat people are usually stupid. Especially among the gays.

Frankly, if you look you can find people equally odious on Twitter as well. but if only people leaning in one direction get deplatformed there, of course they will congregate on a platform where they do not get deplatformed. Both end up as self-perpetuating filter bubbles (although Twitter might be slightly better just because its older and larger).
Someone else was saying something similar but I couldn't find any more info, any idea how to restore it on Windows? Linux FF seemed to be ok.
What if the fake video is the first one to be uploaded?
>Are you disputing their data? That's a pretty serious allegation for a publicly traded company.

I'm skeptical considering Tesla's past approach to testing, their problems with the NTSB.
he doesn't like contingency written down and measured, so he is advocating for hidden variables with randomized content: better keep the status quo and keep hitting with [drunk/sleepy/angry] people
Riak 2.9.0 Update P1
I didn't sign up to be on the road with vehicles that can't control their speed, like Toyota's fatal "unintended acceleration" bug. Likewise I don't want to accept risk from drunk or distracted human drivers. But them's the brakes; Autopilot isn't dramatically different.

It's cool to have options for x-platform development. I think we're at a solid 3 solutions: Boden (C++), Kotlin, and Xamarin (C#). Not to forget Unity and the JS solutions out there...
Here are ones I find useful myself:

- TRR (Trusted Recursive Resolver -- e.g. DNS Over HTTPS)
- Add-On supports on Android
- Multi-Account Container (although this is more of Add-on)
Maybe not in the beta, as mentioned in the article where there may have been a risk of imminent collision.

But in the stable version? Yes it should. Your daughter is not more important than say the newborn twins that may be carried by another car that your car is about to hit.

Otherwise, you believe that her existance is worth sacrificing N people over - or hell, even a few million people, and that ain't right.
To me, and a few people that I know, the most interesting part of MapR was their NFS server over multiple nodes. It solved a real problem that real customers (i.e. enterprises with money for whom tech made stuff work and not was work in itself) were willing to pay a lot of money for ( see Isilon, EMC, NetApp, etc ) but that was a non-sexy part of the MapR business -- Big Data part was much sexier.

Over the last 5 years the real money making enterprises solved their "it should look like a big file system" problem so "the rest of our stuff works" issue stopped being an issue ( in a process Isilon got bought by the EMC, EMC got bought by Dell ) either by buying those specialized solutions, moving to object store or building home grown systems that worked with their specific applications and big data people went with newer, more shiny big data solutions, leaving MapR with no market.
> When you work at the NSA, you are not allowed to say that you work for the NSA. Full stop.

I don't think this is as absolute as you make it sound. Plenty of NSA employees have published papers using their real names in conjunction with nsa.gov or ncsc.mil email addresses
Dreaming of Spaceflight in 1920s Russia
Interesting discussion here.

I don't care what you do with your genes or your kids' genes.

Having said that, there's this slippery-slope we get on where we say something like "Here's this new thing that gives us X. We've never done it before and we're really not sure what the side effects are, but X is pretty cool! Since other people are doing X, we have to do it as well!"

You can run that line of argument with dozens of cutting-edge scientific topics. At the extreme, you end up with some version of "Anything that might make us better than the other guys, we are forced to do -- even if it has terrible consequences"

Since that extreme does not work for me, there must be some limiting factor here that we're not talking about. I do not know what that factor is. It does make sense, however, that asking for public funding along these lines doesn't look like a good way to keep the peace. Eugenics wasn't a good idea, was it? Forced sterilization? How about encouraged or paid-for sterilization? Please keep these as rhetorical questions -- the only reason I brought them up is to show that "better humans through genetics" doesn't have a very happy history.
If someone has access to this page (for your account), they have access to your Gmail, and likely have the ability to reset passwords and log in to any website you signed up for with that email address.

The solution, as always, is to secure your account.
Thanks for the info. My ISP tends to be fairly benign with stuff like this, and as little bandwidth as DNS lookups use, I doubt it would feature in unless they are blocking DNS, but I guess I could also set up a VPN as well.
Doesn't seem to work in Firefox/Linux/Privacy mode.

(Ahh, WebGL)
Ugh. Look, I used to use Chrome as my primary browser but I switched to Firefox like a year ago. I tried really, really hard to stay with Firefox. But it just doesn't work as well as Chrome. I get that it's not entirely Firefox's fault. Sometimes it is (for instance when things crash in Firefox it almost always crashes my entire browser, Chrome never crashes that way). But it's hard to tell a user to go use another browser when everyone is testing and using Chrome.

It's IE6 all over again just in different ways.

Perhaps I'll try a chronium fork. Sure it's not as good of a move but maybe I'll have better luck with issues. I'll likely try Firefox again to see if things are better (I usually use Firefox for some things at work anyway).
Gell-Mann recently died, so it probably skews the results
Please don't discourage people from asking questions directly to other humans. Google results can be surprisingly obtuse, and no matter how much information has been written about something, there are always cases where the clearest and fullest answer for a given individual comes from a direct response - and even if that's not the case here, people certainly don't need more excuses to shy away from asking questions.
Exactly, the only choice is to root the device or return it as defective.
Where do you see that?

I see this:

"Note: any person on Wikipedia is considered, including those connected to and victims of criminal acts. See more about our data and method."
uBlock Origin uses less RAM than AdBlock plus to do the same thing.

AdBlock plus also has the "acceptable ads" program that most people dislike but it can be easily turned off. The rest is mostly politics.
It looks like a curated list of various open, free to use data sets.

I agree though, while useful, seems like this should be embedded in the context of a short write up somewhere. Or, at least, have a title that's descriptive as opposed to what looks like a vague attempt and branding.
> I miss Netscape days...internet wasn't a megacorp business playground :( !

You mean "this website is optimized for Internet Explorer 6" days? Or the earlier "this website is optimized for Netscape 2.0" days?

I think the nearest the web ever came to not being any megacorp's playground was when Firefox was at around 30% market share, and IE6 which had 60%+ market share had stopped moving. IOW, when MS still had the playground mostly to themselves, but chose to ignore it. And even then, the web / Firefox couldn't really innovate without breaking IE6 compatibility, so everyone was stuck.
Why are genetic medical technologies going to remain exclusive to the rich any more than prior revolutionary medical technologies like vaccines, hormonal birth control, or antibiotics? Genetic technologies in general have undergone prolonged cost decreases that don't look to be anywhere near exhausted. Patents restrict access for a couple of decades at most. If the enabling technology is affordable and patents are expired, I see no reason that genetic technology use cannot become widespread.

"Not dying of infectious diseases in childhood" used to be a luxury of the rich too, but it didn't ossify into a permanent class marker.
It says in the header that they include them. At least on mobile.
Thank you for doing a more thorough first pass... I don't have the time right now, but did think a few of the controls are a good first pass. I do think there's a lot of room to grow though.
Fear is a powerful emotion and we shouldn't let it govern our lives. Statistics say that something bad will happen to someone at some point.

Unless Teshla's are causing an _increase_ in car collisions, I see no reason to be this upset about it.

The author's fear, _of something that didn't happen_, has gripped them. It would be one thing if his daughter were killed as a result of a collision with a Tesla, that was operating on AutoPilot, but it didn't even happen. This person shouldn't even by driving at all.
The connection seems to be "a link to this city's Wikipedia page appears in the named person's Wikipedia page". It does not look like the contents of the city's page have any bearing, only the person's page.
There is one news site that does better: Ars technica disables trackers if you buy a subscription
> that would have changed the character of many neighborhoods with bus routes, according to state Sen. Anthony Portantino, a Democrat from the L.A. suburbs who last week halted the legislation’s progress to maintain the status quo of single-family zoning. “It was the time to take a breath, and we took a breath,” he said. Portantino is the former mayor of a town that has not built an apartment in a decade, one where the median home sells for $1.6 million.

How does this guy call himself a member of the Democratic party?

I don't follow wrestling but I've googled some wrestlers before. Their stories (both on and off stage) are often super convoluted and interesting/funny.
