They do, but that move surprises me. You would think they’d want to be a platform so they could collect data that they didn’t even think about collecting. They could still own the data even if they were a platform they would just have to share little chunks of it with different third-parties.
I thought Mozilla is relatively well known, due to wide usage of Firefox.
I hear you. Hard to disagree with that assessment. I didn't paint quite as bleak a picture because so far they've shown that they can execute really well, but I tend to lean in your direction when I think about their future.

Investors, founders, and early employees will make a bunch, but it's hard to see Peloton as a company that'll be with us in the long term.
Yes flex is cool because you don't need a new type of element just add the property "display: flex" to anything.

I think Grid is a bit more complicated, more to learn. CSS is getting better but at the same time it's getting more complex in total.
This is a quite solid concept. Especially regarding MBA's there's a lot of people management concepts where you can't really get the proper context without having seen in practice the environment in which they'd be applied, and you can't get that environment in a classroom. There are professional MBA programs which require a few years of work experience to join, and it makes quite a difference IMHO.

I'm not that certain about CS. If you're doing software engineering (or research on 'meta-SE' e.g. methodology, architecture, programming languages), then yes, it'd make all sense to get some industry experience between college and masters; however if you're going to grad school for theoretical CS or machine learning or cryptography or quantum algorithms or any other directions of primarily academic research, then industry experience is helpful but definitely isn't necessary.
"HTTP headers can no longer be freely edited, unless they are part of a limited whitelist blessed by the Chrome team."

Are you suggesting that Chrome/Chromium users will not be able to control the headers that the client sends? (short of editing the Chromium source and recompiling)
> Like Smalltalk, they're forced to do this to catch the errors that would've been caught by type annotation.

Very few of the unit tests I've written for Ruby/Python catch errors that would be caught by typical type system use in C/Java/etc. (Haskell, maybe, but...) The main thing I miss in dynamic languages vs. static is the more powerful automatic testing possible when test specs can leverage type information (e.g., QuickCheck/ScalaCheck), not an absence of need for testing.
If anyone can give us a real Facebook alternative, it’s Apple
> Countries that rely solely on the market to determine the cost of higher education, such as the United States

is this a joke? it's true only in the extremely narrow sense that the US does not directly legislate the price of private college tuition.
There doesn’t have to be one. The transitions are random and therefore not influenced by the recency of the last transition, so there’s no need for a ‘memory’.

Having said that, the random chance of a transition occurring must be a probability over time. So if there is a fundamental probability, we can ask what is the unit of time over which that probability is expressed? I’m not sure that question makes sense, but maybe it’s the time it takes for the transition to occur, if that is fixed for a given transition?
It’s new, it was announced during the keynote on Monday. We’re getting some more details now though.
iPhones have kids mode that prevents the kid from using any app on the phone. That will probably only deter toddlers, but it's something.

Because fReEtHiNkErChAd and 2020BloodInTheStreets will each piss some readers off and please others, polarizing the topic and inviting others to participate, thus increasing pageviews and ad exposure. It worked well for a while, but with the growth of Twitter mobs it eventually backfired.
What exactly do you mean by "not that important"? Is it your position that if, say, YouTube took down all content that was in favor of Democrats, and pushed content that was in favor of Republicans to the front page, and put it all over recommendations, that there would be no impact to elections?
Generally, true statements are not profound or original, but sometimes still need to be repeated when people assert the opposite. “The world is round” is neither an original or profound statement and yet people still need to say it periodically.
> I'm saying that this behavior shouldn't be acceptable for a company that has such a strong grip on societal discourse

YouTube doesn't have "a strong grip on societal discourse", it's a glorified video sharing site that's widely regarded as a cesspool in terms of discourse.
I suspected it meant Doomsday, when I was little (too much Superfriends on TV).

However, I believe it's just military lingo, as the military seems to treat acronyms and symbols as an art of functional entertainment.

Hi,

I'm not aware of cozy's story, but Bloom's goal is not to stay a nth productivity self hosted Cloud.

We have a different offering (like Bitflow) and our goal is to bring open source to far more domains like agriculture, architecture.

Our goal is to have like Google (therefore the title) an app for all the needs of our life. But open source.
I totally agree with this!

I built a game and naively added ads to it as it seemed a good way to monetize. The game started to be really liked, and had 300k+ downloads overall. Many kids started playing it also.

Luckily I realized quickly that kids play on the devices of parents and so the ads they might see are at times super inappropriate!

Then I removed all ads, I'd rather make less money but have people play and have a good time. Its not always about money. At times I get contacted by players, how they love the game and how it has been part of their childhood etc. Some very moving messages, worth more then a few additional bucks from ads and I feel much better because players aren't exposed to random ads, pictures and messages.

The learning for me was that I will never work on anything that uses ads as source of income, this includes turning down jobs at Google and Facebook.
Your self-published paper on arXiv is not going to get great (lots of) citations. Being a sole basement genius yet doing work that will be noticed by mainstream academia doesn't exist (any more). Even for grad students it's hard finding subjects and angles om them that are publishable.
Sorry, but what are capabilities ?

About Cap'n'Proto what benefits does it brings, and what are the trade-offs ?
Well given that Google own the AdSense/DoubleClick platform which is used for serving ads on YouTube as well as all of it's own custom analytic tools none of these would be third party. The part about not linking out of the app would still apply though.
Honestly all advertising targeted to children should be banned. It's just not fair. Children don't stand a chance against marketing crafted by adults. You're pitting the mind of a child against that of a trained, professional, adult marketer. The kid is their clay to be molded.
Not just a belief, it's been studied many times, and it is in fact illegal to have "native" advertising on children's TV shows, at least in the U.S.
> Keep in mind that once customers expect your app to follow the Kids Category requirements, it will need to continue to meet these guidelines in subsequent updates, even if you decide to deselect the category.

Sounds like they’re ready.
I work on a remote office, and while I definitely agree that the rapid prototyping stage works better in-person, current tools help a lot - we have a pretty large app that was built 100% remotely (I did ask for in-person meetings but there was no budget).

Honestly, you can collaborate and do almost everything remotely. What does lose a bit is team building, you have to go a bit out of your way to build rapport (but it´s also doable).
> To some extent this is true of all languages...

Very true. An even clearer example is Catalan and Occitan, which are just the two most famous/prestigious/standardized poles in a still clearly-existing dialect continuum.

Or Scots and English: polls suggest that people's answers to the questions "is Scots a separate language, or a dialect of English?" and "should Scotland be an independent country?" are strongly correlated. On the surface, it seems that the former is a scientific question and the latter is a political one, so they shouldn't be correlated at all, but in reality they are both political questions.

Other examples include the various Chinese varieties (Mandarin, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Hokkien, etc. etc.), which are often considered one language for political reasons, Serbian, Croatian, Montenegrin, and Bosnian, which are nearly identical but often considered different languages for political reasons (imagine if we considered US American to be a different language from Canadian), Romanian and Moldovan to which the same description applies, and so on. There are examples practically everywhere you look.
> That means a tightly integrated and mostly centrally controlled state cannot function either if there are multiple religions identities present in the country which by extension means that the state of J&K has no place in present day India.

It doesn't. That is the reason why you see so much bloodshed with one side trying to overpower the other. J&K is not homogenous. The Jammu part is majority Hindu and Kashmir part is majority Muslim dominated (it had a minority Hindu population too called Kashmiri Pandits but they were raped, murdered and eventually driven out by the majority. Read up on "Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_of_Kashmiri_Hindus). The Muslim dominated part wants to break away from the "Union" and form its own Country. Do you see what I have been hinting at? The religious division that was created when India was partitioned continues to plague Indian society even to this day. Now you want the Indian society to somehow forget and forgive all these issues and just join into a bigger Union with states that were created with diametrically opposite ideas? That is impossible! Why would Indian taxpayer want to carry the burden of states that have a hatred for Indians?

> After all, people of this region have so so much in common. Plus, in such a union each "nation" would retain it's identity while having extremely close ties to other "nations of the union" e.g, free trade, travel, etc.

I appreciate your desire for unification on a common ground and I wish for it too. But that is not a probability because of religious intolerance. You can bury your head in the sand and choose to look the other way but that is the reality. Until you have religions that believe that theirs is the "true path" and the rest will go to "Hell" there is no way we can achieve any sort of common ground. Reformation should happen first. Some sticking points that exist in each religious denomination should be discarded as being irrelevant for today's day and age. Now that is very much possible. Hinduism has undergone various reformations over the ages and continues to do so. Sati system was abolished. Caste system that discriminated has been upended by a Reservation system that uplifts the socially deprived. Sure it is not perfect yet but it shows positive intent. But these reformations cannot be a one-way street. If such similar reformations happen in all other religions then you would automatically have unification. If you are only looking at economic/political advantages then that is a poor solution that is bound to fail. Unification should only be on mutual-respect for culture, tradition, religion, creed etc. Things that have real social value. Not money or politics. The former will cement the Union, the latter (example: EU) is a weak foundation that will eventually crumble.
Does this imply anything about the Many Worlds Interpretation [1]? I am not a physicist (IANAP?), but if states change continuously vs discretely... should that not discount MWI?

It makes sense.

Flex was finally FOR (I think it was for) layout, from the start. It's simple, works for a lot of use cases.

Grid is for layout, but serious layout.

It's good to have both.... well anything really considering the history.
In The Netherlands you get a large part of your travel costs reimbursed by your employer. How large it is, there are legal upper limits to avoid "untaxed extra payment".

If you can travel by public transport, part of the time of your commute is akin to leisure time. But I have big issues with failing to focus, especially if I gotta switch transport multiple times or run to make it or its crowded or...

My limit of commute is basically an hour, and if I don't get the costs reimbursed I simply do not take the job. It is bad enough that I lose that time as it is (as I argued above, it is hardly akin to leisure time).

As for the topic at hand, I've spend a good amount of time and money on e.g. old UNIX hardware (such as SGI Indy/Indigo 2/Octane, Sun Ultra 10, and some DEC Alpha machines) back in the start of this millennium. It was costly and bad for my electricity bills, and it took me a lot of time to play around with old platforms. I had a lot of fun though. And I'm not sure you can benchmark "fun". Nowadays, with solar energy on the rise, it might actually matter less to have these machines running. Except for in the summer. The additional heat would kill me.
I'm curious what keeps "first party" analytics/ads just phoning home and doing the third-party transaction server-side.
What Denver did isn't legal either.

The DEA regulates all scheduled drugs, not states and absolutely not cities. Cities are generally prohibited from making laws contravening state and federal law (not always followed and the cities basically always lose the lawsuits).
The clash of civilizations is not race based, but ideology based.

China is ruled by the CCP, which has killed somewhere north of 100 million people. Can you imagine of the Nazi party still controlled Germany?

We just had the 30th anniversary of Tienanmen Square where the CCP ordered the army to drive tanks over defenseless civilians who just wanted their basic human rights.

The CCP has barbaric goals and has no regard for human rights. Sounds like a clash with them is inevitable if we want to defend our rights.
Some friend said the same thing, I've to admit that I'm not a designer and found the inspiration from the brand who spend big bucks on their logos.
This is interesting.

What options does that leave for making money on these apps? Charging directly and first-party ads? Are parents willing to pay for these apps?
This is massive, Apple banned what Google does with Chromebooks for kids/schools.
So far the only kids apps I've used with my little one is 'Sesame Street' and 'PBS Kids Video'. He loves Elmo, and its very handy in the pediatrician's waiting room to have a distraction.

I also run a PiHole, and to my displeasure, I've found both these apps use Google Analytics. PBS Kids Video goes a few steps further and uses Google AdWords as well as ScorecardResearch analytics. These publicly funded apps are siphoning data about me and my little one off to 3rd parties. The 3rd paries might not be able to use that data for targeted advertising within the app, but make no mistake that the data is still used to 'enrich' my shadow profiles. I am very excited about these changes from Apple and I hope that they are able to enforce them. I've written both of the apps support emails in the past about the analytics and never received a response.

I've also heard of a popular BBC kids app called CBeebies. Last time I ran it on my iPhone, it reached out to Facebook, Localytics, Branch.io, Google Analytics, app-measurement.com, and onesignal.com
Sounds interesting.

> Churchill's parents lived in grand style on fairly small incomes, borrowing fortunes and spending even larger ones. Young Winston grew up thinking of money as a nuisance that other people had to worry about. Churchill carried on the family tradition tenfold when he became an adult.

I'm convinced you learn most of your financial wisdom or behaviour from childhood (and possibly some genetics thrown in). There always seems to be a pattern visible among the children and their parent's approach to frugality and spending. Probably affecting them in a way more subtle than they realize.
I have to agree with the parent here. At least the TLDR should make this apparent without clicking additional links. If I didn't read anything else, I would think it was a search engine.
A strong letter of recommendation with a few publications is definitely strongest.

That would be 2.

What's done in such an experiment is that we initialize a quantum state in a particular state (that this is possible is not actually obvious, but let's assume it's true) and then we make a lot of repeated measurements after different amounts of times.

So we're not talking about a single system, but instead about statistics about a set of measurements with systems that have been set up in the same initial state. (Each system only being measured once after a certain time after it's being set up).
> it's true only in the extremely narrow sense that the US does not directly legislate the price of college tuition.

Given the significance of public universities in US higher ed, it's not even really true in that sense, either, unless by “US” you mean just the federal government.
That's not entirely correct. Hindi is the official language of Republic of India. That is why 14 September is celebrated as Hindi Divas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi_Divas
> Zero people wake up in the morning thinking "I'll just browse for new papers from people I've never heard of."

Minor comment, but that's fairly dependent on the field. Every morning I am at work I take ~5–10 minutes to skim the titles of the day's new arXiv/astro-ph postings[0] to see if there's anything interesting. If there is, I'll mark it for later, save it, or spend some time reading/skimming it. That's fairly common among my peers in the field. There are even websites that piggyback on arXiv to facilitate voting on papers to create agendas for discussion groups or journal clubs[e.g., 1].

I'm no expert on family accounts but can't you set all that stuff up via macOS on a virtual machine?

Or does it actually require iOS?
I think where it is going is just fine.

The reduction of tracking and ads is a good thing, but that there is going to be a FAANG that is explicitly encouraging this is great news.

I would prefer if the market itself forced out tracking and ads. Provide a space for it and that space can compete with everything else and if we're lucky will wildly outcompete the competition.

This is the kind of walled garden I want to see. One with high walls and a door.
Popped in to say exactly this.

If you ever come across insecurely hashed passwords in your career, always remediate all of them with a second more secure hashing strategy at once.

Domain blocking is really useful, but... is it possible to do more? I mean that uBlock Origin and other adblockers can make a more fine-tuned work, cleaning pages much further, like cookies popups or similar useless crap.

I had thought of such a service time ago, but would it be legal? If I do it in my private intranet, it shouldn't be a problem. But a service that would remove ads from known webs and serve a clean versions through a proxy could be accused of plagiarism or something like that.

Maybe that's because thay only do the domain blocking part.
gsutil sync is not slow (worked at Google for years and transferred petabytes quickly with it). what does that mean not resuming transfers? It picks up where you last ran. Do you mean for an individual file?
If they choose to interpret the rule as "no ad-supported child-targeted games on iOS, period," that sounds good to me. I hope they do.
Thank you!

> It's amazing how most Indians believe that Hindi is the national language of India

I am not Indian, so please correct my outsider's perspective if it is wrong, but from what I have seen, this is mainly believed by North Indians, and often deeply resented by South Indians, who are more likely to view English as a common, neutral, pan-Indian lingua franca, and Hindi as too North-centric to be appropriate for that role.
I think that conferences, etc, build up on the human element and are important, but not for the reasons you mention.

My current belief is that a 95% remote team works, you do need in-person opportunities, the more the better, but at least once in a project can be enough.
This is a useful service that can help improve security for a lot of people. If you don't want to use it, fine, ... don't use it.
Reminders on my phone for important personal tasks, Slackbot for reminders at work, and then Simplenote for general notes/things I want to come back to or remember. I find that anything more is superfluous and difficult to keep up with.
Another example is "vindaloo", from "vinho d'alho" ('garlic wine').

Over in Japan, "tempura" is from a Latin reference to the holiday of Lent, as used by Portuguese people in Japan. (At that time the Catholic Portuguese would eat fried fish or fried vegetables.)

(edit: it seems that the original reference is to four different seasons of religious fasts, not just to the Lenten fast)
Both are in person, not remote.
In addition to noise, I'm also concerned about visual clutter, particularly in residential areas.

The last thing I want is to add to the power lines, airplanes, etc. with the visual noise when I'm on my deck trying to enjoy nature.

Further, Amazon is a major player in the advertising space now. I'd be surprised if at some point these weren't leveraged to display ads in some format. I'm a marketer by trade, but personally that's a line I don't want crossed.

They are proposing a law that directly addresses a Supreme Court interpretation of existing law.

Happens often, Supreme Court says law X doesn't mean Y and if you want it to mean that then rewrite it to say so.

that would be fantastic!
The system is being measured, collapses DO take time, but this is not news to people who study certain branches of quantum information. The experiment confirming it though is a breakthrough.

Correct.
