This comment doesn't really show a great understanding of the problems that gamers experience when it comes to latency.

Distance / the speed of light has nothing to do with it. If you're in the US connecting to a US game server, neither you nor the game developers have control over what path the internet will choose to send your traffic there.

Your packets could be blocked by other packets being sent first. You could experience packet loss, which will create a rubber banding effect in game. You could experience a variation in packet delivery time, which makes it hard for client-side prediction to work effectively.

These issues frustrate gamers to the point where they'll stop playing if it's bad enough. Lag is hated by games and developers, so this problem is super worth solving. Imagine what it'd be worth to Epic Games to reduce their player churn by just 0.1% monthly... probably millions! This is a big market.

If you read up on Network Next, they solve this problem by sending your traffic on private networks where you do have more control over delivery and consistency, rather than public networks where you don't.

I'm really excited to see Network Next improve gameplay, and it's 100% not a non-starter.
From my understanding, that's just expanded cookies. The Chrome frame can see the cookie from your Gmail, and also log you in the browser, and vice versa. Nothing magical going on, just cookies.
Rather, if it does like you (because you frequently get it right), it'll ask you to give it extra data.

Not really sure, it was shown after the credentials for the financial institution were entered.

However, it was shown for each financial institution. So it is possible that the financial institutions (or the API provider) were doing it, though it is equally likely that turbo tax just has a bad implementation. Because TT can make an assumption that I'm a human, I wonder if there is a regulatory requirement or the API provider is doing that.
I was pretty amazed when I bought an MR200 lte-capable router that the LTE module actually runs its own personal Android discrete from the router cpu.

Of course that has never and will never receive any security updates. So although iommu isolation is good, it may not help much if there's a whole other OS hacked that can initiate its own network connections and futz with any traffic, eg, deny main OS updates until it can attack it via an unpatched vuln. TLS is good but it'd only take one hhtp connection through unpatched webview.
Are you kidding me, my old Android 6.0 unupdated S7 can easily top days when idle and polling radio only.
The main battery killer is, and always has been, the screen, followed by CPU in high power state.

Yes that's true, I should have said that they begin delivering cars after a long time of booking orders. Look at the number of Tesla Model 3s that were registered in various countries prior to March 2019.
Why are police necessary anywhere? To enforce the rules of the land that enact peace and order.

China is trying to steal territory from the Philippines, they arguably don't have the power to fight China. Without allies in the USA they'd have no recourse.

If every country was equal I'd agree with you, but they aren't, so we need protections for the smaller countries out there that get rolled over by the big countries.

Edit: Ideally we wouldn't need a police force, and I don't use Police force to mean what the US is doing in the middle east. I'm all about anti-interventionist policies. But I also don't want to see big governments roll over smaller ones, I think the UN is a good counter to that.

This is what I meant by South China Sea. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&c...

A lot cleaner & more modern than what was previously there, that's for sure.

Does seem a bit of a bug though which one of my colleagues noticed. If you disable JavaScript the content seems to get overlapped by the navigation bar. There's some JS to fix some of the styling.

Would probably be better if the header/nav was just static or got more compact as you scrolled down the page.

I'm a JS dev but for a static site it shouldn't need JS to be readable.

I laughed when mouse hovered over it like the user was deliberately looking for fire hydrant on this one and then just moved on with rage, waiting for other images to load :D.

I honestly think this was the reason why Captcha's bot was so passive-aggressive :D
I just wasted ~15 minutes on doing the disqus login captcha under different conditions .. turns out that as soon as uMatrix is enabled (and blocks 18 cookies from google.com and 5 more from www.google.com), it starts to act up and get annoying..at least for me.

It then takes between 1 minute and 1 minute 30 to get past the recaptcha when blocking those cookies - and I was certain to be 100% correct in most cases and it kept asking me to solve more and more ..

most of the time spent solving the captchas is from the countless '4s fade ins' via inline style when cookies are blocked (as opposed to 1s fade ins via css, when cookies are set).

I'm curious why they would add 3s to the fade in if their cookies are blocked .. does that help to fight off bots, or does google just want to punish me for blocking their cookies?
I know my area very well, and can still be significantly off when picking the right route due to unpredictable traffic patterns. Google maps can't even tell me the best route off-peak.

It's fine for travelling abroad when all you want is a route that gets you to where you want to go in reasonable time, but I would never expect Google's directions to be optimal (at least in an urban setting, where taxis are used most).

As someone else has commented, this is definitely a drive to centralise reliance on Google Maps by making it the de facto standard for defining the best route (you can't go back in time to try a different route, so it won't be viable to argue that Google didn't provide the optimum route).

> The tech ceiling was _always_ too high, and it was our own hubris that we weren't willing to build a more welcoming environment.

Building a more welcoming environment is a mountain of work, and most people would prefer to get paid for it.

And monetizing your work becomes a lot easier when you are a company selling an end-to-end product, then when you're a lone dev working off donations.

The worst part about the slow animation is that when an image you've clicked is fading out, you might think you've completed everything and then click the "Verify" button at the bottom. But then that causes you to have to restart if that wasn't the last image. This is the part that convinces me that ReCAPTCHA was made to fuck with people.
Thanks. Seems extremely similar to Plotly upon first glance and their viz data structures.
True, but you can upgrade the RAM, use eGPU via TB3, and add more storage via TB3/USB3. It's not like an iPad.
Design systems alone don't really solve for this. Design would need to look at the experience across the entire app.

A simplified example of how the UX can break down if frontend teams are too isolated is notifications. If every team triggers a bunch of their own notifications the user might be getting slammed with notifications.

Sure the pieces might look cohesive, but it might suck for the user if the teams aren't thinking about it from the perspective of a user.
Its not easy by any mean, but few things worth doing are. We have a team of engineers and designers working together to maintain our design system and its implementation, and all teams use it. When a new shared pattern comes up, its implemented in the design system and people use it. Teams are heavily encouraged to not make new patterns on their own from scratch (and its a lot easier to have the design system team handle it anyway). Sometimes folks go rogue, but that would happen within a large monolith too anyway.

I do agree we need a major overhaul of what we do with those who do not adhere to society and the the rules within.

We need to separate violent/nonviolent crimes better than we do now. When someone who gets busted for growing a plant repeatedly gets thrown into a prison with child molesters/rapists there is an issue.

I believe they already do try to separate this out but the way in which we try to rehabilitate those who have been convicted should change as well.

For non-violent offenders we should rehabilitate them more like Norway https://www.businessinsider.com/why-norways-prison-system-is...

And for those who are nothing but a total net loss on society, someone who has no inner morals and has raped, killed, hurt children type - having them go to 'prison' where they are exploited for profit (modern day labor camps?) I see no harm with it, as long as that profit doesn't line pockets of individuals (which it does currently guaranteed)- but rather pays back the operating costs/society itself for the negative strain the individual creates.

The idea that all people can be 'saved' or shown the light is garbage, there are monsters in the world who will always be monsters and should be treated as such.
kak ?
Which is playing the same Beta game. Would it be fair to just go by the YTD then?
Right, which is why you'd cut out asymmetric step if possible (obviously not for the general HTTPS case, but okay for backups) or replace the asymmetric step with quantum-safe asymmetric crypto. What confused me was that the parent post was worried about scaling up AES to become quantum-safe, which is unnecessary. It's already safe.
TLDR: they lost 71% of their traffic overnight due to the Google update. They argue changes that large should have forewarning because people's livelihoods depend on that traffic and Google has zero transparency on the whole process.

They couldn't get answers about the drop in traffic, so they are giving up on that site and moving their staff to work on another:

"We are shutting down CCN.com. Google has made that choice for us. We are moving the entire team over to HVY.com to at least try and save modern journalism the way we see it. HVY Journalists is a news platform made by and for journalists."
In addition to rclone... you could run a VPS that has the various services as fuse mounts and otherwise sync between them in CRON ... however, probably best to only actually use one of them in practical terms.

It depends on what you want to do, but can probably be accomplished in a <= $5 VPS.
Many of these mergers lately seem to be driven by contract books and support structures for future bids. If you lose a contract, buy the company that won, and now you only need one business development group which saves you a bunch of money. Consolidate where you can, call it a win, and now you have a bit more money and less competition for the next contract. (I have no idea if this is the reason for this merger)

While you might not end up closing off entire regions, if both companies have offices in, say, Dayton ohio servicing Wright-Patt you can reduce to one and not worry about spare capacity anymore. That can save a lot - especially when bases are super remote.

You see this a lot with mid-range providers when interest rates are low and coming up with X Billion is no problem. I don’t know that it ends up providing better service to government - I would bet the answer there is absolutely no, especially as they recoup costs from the acquisition and squeeze staff. Win for the execs though.
Where's the fear mongering? This has already happened. Look at fake news. Look at russia manipulating people. Ads work, there is no way to adjust their influence other than refusing to allow them into your life at all. Even then, there's many ads you can't avoid online or in real life.

Envelopes would be postmarked with the post code from which they were mailed. That probably wouldn't give Mullvad any information they don't already have, since they can see your IP address.

But an intercepting 3rd party could pair your account ID with with your geographic region; it would be even worse if you accidentally drop a hair inside the envelope.
But total is ~8k model 3 VS 54k leaf. People wanting a leaf could already buy one, while model 3 customers could only preorder. So these stats over a short timeframe only tell us that newer models sell better and that delivery of preorders skews the stats massively.

Mozilla CEO: Premium version of Firefox coming this fall
There's always going to be shared services in any split system. Notifications is going to be one of these (kind of by necessity, especially if you plan on leveraging things like service workers which don't have a good "stacking" story to have multiple ones for the same path, so you want a shared one if you don't want every have to have one).
I've never seen code generated that uses PDEP/PEXT, probably because there are separate bitfield instructions. These intrinsics are definitely useful though (I use them) and they can radically simplify operations on some types of data models. I doubt the compiler will ever be good at finding those patterns in code, use cases aren't a simple substitution and the logic you'd be rewriting is large and diffuse.
> "I would be a lot more OK with this if Google were only using that data about me themselves instead of letting anyone with a little money use it too!"

that would be better, but google would still be subject to attacks by adversaries and (secret) subpeonas by governments.

much better would be if they did their analytics on user data in real-time and store only the results while discarding the source data right away.
Yeah, I agree that force publishing something which is not ready is always bad.

Maybe publishing in itself is a way that does not scale well. Text has always been quite the slow way of making progress. And now with VR we have better ways to visualize and learn from others work.

How would you like to work, given free time and funding? Would you like to be able to keep track of every related research?

Why would YTD be any fairer? By not being able to deliver, Tesla caused a massive backlog that they fulfill this year. Had they been able to deliver in December 2018, YTD would look much worse.
Only briefly, you would have to regularly travel east, for me it worked out that I'd travel around the globe every 9 weeks or so, just to keep the 9-5 momentum. Though it is one of those instances in which you are effectively using your late night sleep phase in conjunction with jet-lag to maintain those regular hours.

So technically, yes, but only briefly and you would then have to repeat once your natural rhythm caught up with you. So about 2 weeks and then have to move again.
Yep, finding and modifying a script that runs with root privileges, but is writable by non-root users is the oldest privesc trick in the book.

With the proper permissions something like this should be ok, but I'd tread lightly. Especially with something that dynamically updates your hosts file.
I'm not against the idea of private prisons, but I do think the economic incentives are badly setup. If you look at the public prisons of various states with a powerful (in a political sense like CCPOA) prison guard union, you will see them advocating for laws that put more people behind bars.

It really comes down to how you write the contracts just as how it comes down to how you write the regulations, and a hope the politicians don't short money to private or public prisons.

I've thought that private prisons should be paid on safe capacity and not prisoner count. Beyond that, stiff fines and actual prosecution of people when negligence in staffing need to be an item. I've been served by IHS and lack of money in public health care with poor staffing can be a true killer. Plus, actual monetary incentives for after the release of a prisoner. A decent bounty for prisoners who do not commit further felonies for a period of time (5 years?) would incentivize some proper thought on what happens after the sentence.

I think the issue of pricing is harder than that - damages and the ammount earned don't inherently line up.

If I sit at an intersection and record the cars passing and sell it to the municipal government for say $500 and I note 250 cars they didn't lose $2 each. Just because you can make money off of someone else /doesn't/ mean it is exploitation.

Conversely if someone broke a MRI Machine to steal the copper wire and sell it for $5 it doesn't mean the hospital suffered only that much in damages.
I’d instead use the distinction “those who can sling code when necessary” versus “those who cannot/will not sling code.”

The fundamental problem is cleanly persisting data.

There's all sorts of design paradigms we use to attempt to send state through the presentation layer to the persistence layer.

Ultimately there's no clean way to do it and because of that it's hard to have something like a micro frontend. The presentation layer is always aware of the data persistence layer to some degree.

Take a physical light switch. The switch will still work if the power is out; it goes up and down. The same doesn't have to be true from a purely digital standpoint. If the power is out, we can actually disable the switch(assuming this digital display switch is powered by a battery in this case).

So in the digital switch case, the switch accurately reflects the global state of power. In the analog switch case, the switch still functions regardless of the global state of power.

In the digital case, one must write code that actually checks the global power state to conditionally enable the on/off functionality of the digital switch. So that code, is not strictly presentation layer code, rather it's state-maintenance code or I don't know what you'd call it. Point is, you now have the presentation layer now tightly coupled to the something outside of the presentation layer; in this case, the global state of power("is the electricity working?").

And this is just a simple example of an on/off switch.

Micro frontends are a difficult problem. One solution might be to have all frontends be signal based. So if you send a signal a listener can optionally handle it or not or maybe nothing is listening. In the analog on/off switch case, that's exactly how it works. If the power is off, the switch still flips.

I often get asked to identify store fronts. They are the worst.

The pictures are blurry and positioned at weird angles.
There are lots of signs with east-asian letters (I'm not informed enough to guess what kind of alphabet they belong to) and I have no idea wether they are store fronts or not.

Is a sign to a dentist's office a store front? Generally it seems like anything with a sign above some sort of door or window qualifies as a store front.
PowerBI has no Mac client.
I worked on a west coast based team in an east coast office for a while. It was pretty great until I had to work on a project on both coasts. I had calls scheduled anytime from 9am til 8pm.
Coming from an enterprise background in BI using traditional tools like Cognos and Business objects, Tableau is head an shoulders above these. It's not only significantly easier to build complex interactive dashboards with Tableau, Tableau enables a level of rapid data exploration that simply isn't possible in the traditional tools. In those, you pretty much needed to know exactly what you wanted to build, making it difficult to find new insights.
That hasn't been my experience. Most of the "storefronts" are (from what I can tell) based on Asia. I almost never see English signs. I'm still able to complete these challenges with only a little bit of difficulty.
