I would be willing to bet that today's theaters are both cleaner and have better projection and sound than any prior decade of their existence.
That's what sandboxing is for.
You're moving goal posts.

Aadhar being necessary for tax filing !== Aadhar is mandatory for operating a bank account, claims which you made in previous posts.

Yes, going backwards government can indeed find your bank accounts because you might quote them on tax forms but having Aadhar is NOT necessary for operating a bank account. I have multiple accounts, none of which have been closed or service being denied for lack of an aadhar number.

>Re Aadhar -- HN readers should note that IndiaStack (indiastack.org, very popular with VCs operating in India) relies a lot on Aadhar, so a lot of people in Indian Startups have a financial interest in not seeing the downsides of Aadhar.

This is exaggerated. People can lead perfectly functional lives without quoting Aadhar to anybody except the taxman. You're pushing it.
You're not wrong, but this is how I learned about in-season vegetables. I can keep my garden going year-round, but it took time and learning, so I'm not suggesting it's possible for everyone (especially once you take geography into account). It's hard work!

But even as a relatively staunch environmentalist, I didn't really "get" in-season produce until I tried keeping a garden 365 days a year. Now it sticks, and I have a much better idea when I walk into a grocery store of what veggies are in season. I should know, because they reflect what I'm currently trying (or know I can) grow in my garden for the given month.

Basically, the benefit isn't just that I'm buying less stuff from the grocery store.
For what it's worth, that class-field syntax proposal never settled well with many JavaScript and React developers, and now that Hooks are out, a significant number of us have abandoned class syntax altogether in favor of functions with hooks. (There are other proposals that add to the class syntax that overall just don't seem to mesh well together and seem to create as many issues as they solve, like #private_variables, and the @decorators.)
This is not normal behaviour. I've never had Firefox do that, even with a whole bunch of extensions, on Windows, Linux or Mac, over the past 10+ years.

It did used to run out of memory for images, and the UI of Firefox (and just Firefox) would sometimes pause, but those issues are a couple of years back now.

I'd dig deeper. There's something odd in your machine configuration.
I'm one of the many devs who worked at one point or another on Mozilla's third-party tracking protection. We had prototypes working in ~2012, if my memory serves. Unfortunately, these prototypes broke the web badly. The web was simply not ready for such protection.

Now, Apple, with their iOS monopoly, managed to strong-arm the web into a position in which third-party tracking protection was finally possible. Kudos to them, now we can finally release this technology. We're doing it slowly, because by opposition to Apple, we cannot afford to break the web.

Why did Apple do this, though? If you recall, Apple's stance on privacy is quite recent. The tech world has a short memory, but I remember Apple being caught red-handed slurping data from user's iPhones not so long ago. Also, unless things have changed (honestly, I haven't followed), Apple tracks users through their native apps, because you're pretty much obligated to go through Apple's SDKs for many things, and they require a tracking ID, which brings revenue to Apple.

So, yeah, Apple's actions have had some good impact on web-tracking, and that's great. But don't forget that they do this for strategic reasons: 1/ because they want to encourage devs to use another tracking mechanism that the competition cannot emulate; 2/ to immediately hurt the competition.

Now, you are right about the double-keyed caches – although using this to track users is quite more complicated, less precise and less reliable than first-/third-party cookies, it's something we need to address. We're working on it at this very moment.

Finally, yeah, first-party cookies... hard to counter. We're also working on it (is anyone else doing so?), but that will be a tough fight.

To recap, based on financial statements the company:

used to be a "waste management" company that failed and was sold as a "public shell" to enable the formerly private company to go public and sell shares (the waste management business it was engaged in was an effort to commercialize a process to treat low-level nuclear waste developed by Russian scientists)

has $64 mil in debt apparently unrelated to aviation

has spent $3.8 mil on R&D for this project

has 8 R&D employees

only 2 of those 8 have any evident experience related to designing aircraft (pretty apparent from the "design").

> "At best, retail investors are simply gambling."

that's just not true and is a gross over simplification. for one, not beating the market is NOOOOOT the same as losing money. For another, even if they do not beat the market, there are a lot of other benefits.

People gain an understanding of how things like bonds and equities work. I cant tell you how many people (masters degree included) think you can loose more money than you invest by buying a stock. I seen someone literally not participate in 401k matching because of that thought.

there is something to be said about having greater control over one's money. When someone says lets eat out at this expensive 150$ plate restaurant, I think gee I can buy X shares of Y stock instead.

I personally have already maxed out my 401k, and if I want to retire I need to contribute more. currently I am beating the market, and I have little care if 'the average investor' isn't. it gives me something to do, empowers me, and is not 'at best' gambling.

Assuming you didn't start clean, try starting with a new profile. If you did, try updating your GPU drivers. You also may want to try the Developer Edition which may contain some improvements.
Yes, ALL private keys should be encrypted and stored elsewhere. The onion/knot should be unwound from some remote place, so you have to get access to a FEW places in order to get any private keys.

Now, in MY opinion, the whole idea of servers storing OR MANIPULATING unencrypted user-submitted information is what’s wrong with our current Internet culture. This needs to stop. It has massive social and economic effects and creates honeypots for hackers.

The sooner we make end-to-end encryption a basic expectation, the sooner we change our society to have a far more private and safe environment for everyone, and correct massive power imbalances: an organization or user should have power and data and connections and ability to SPAM others because people VOLUNTARILY gave them those things, not because they happened to build proprietary software and run it on infrastructure that is needed to operate the application!!!
Lol you would be wrong, just Google it. Theatres used to have ushers to keep the noise down and to keep the rooms from getting trashed, sound engineers to cater the room to specific films, attendants to make sure everything went right—now it’s just on autopilot, with mixed results.
Yes, we do: https://data.firefox.com/ .
A Wave of Fear in American Commerce
Both of these things can be true. Every transaction certainly provides us with information, but also, if two people trade based on competing beliefs about the price, one of them is wrong. As for it being a game, well, when dollars are used to purchase stocks, they almost never go into the coffers of the company whose stock it is. They go into the pockets of someone else who is also trading stocks. As you said, it's a signal about where the economy should allocate capital, but to me it seems to be far closer to a game than to an actual useful allocation of that capital.
Anything that computes is a computer.

Parallel construction is only a thing that the government can get away with in prosecuting people, because the government has power and individuals do not.
Where do you get that the setup can only determine effects of 30% or higher? I didn't see anything about that in the article, though I admit I only skimmed it.

Simply saying that the statistically significant effect they found was 30% has absolutely no bearing on how large an effect they can detect...
Yes it would. But you don't need to track people and use mass data to personalize adds to do that. It is totally possible to just have a lot of cameras and look at the recordings when a crime is reported and delete the video after half a year or something.

If one trust the government to have a monopoly on machine guns and tanks, video cameras is my least concern if they turn evil.

Public video surveillance without audio is not that bad compared to wire taping, risk profiling etc.

The nightmare would be Google, MasterCard, Amazon or what ever running those cameras.
I stand corrected. I also found Emrax 268 which has a power to weight ratio of 10 kW/kg. But these are good only for small aircraft. It's much harder to maintain this power-to-weight ratio for larger motors. Emrax 268 is only 20kg, but a single engine of 777 weighs 8200kg. The ballpark for large motors at powerplants is currenly around 1 kW/kg [1]. But who knows; there might be a breakthrough in motors too.

Unworkable, my point was people with bad intentions circumvent these systems. It's also a mystery why media release of surveillance footage of high importance areas appear to have been shot on mediocre quality old technology when so much is spent on the equipment.

Do you run mac OS? Because I had this same issue with a macbook, when jump to Windows and Linux, the CPU keep the same as Chrome, but in mac Firefox was slow, and make the fans be at top speed.
I have seen similar problems right after using GMail or watching YouTube videos. Firefox would keep CPU busy even if I closed those tabs. I stopped watching YouTube on Firefox because of this.

This is on macOS.
> In GDPR-land the customer has to confirm, that the shop may store the e-mail (or other data) for more than full filling the single order. So there is need for at least a checkbox.

If low friction truly is the goal, why even ask before you clear the payment? Make it an after-checkout option.

Honestly, this sounds like a feature of GDPR, not a bug. It makes pervasive data collection come at a cost (here in terms of friction).
If other firms are started like a co-op with an app clone like Ride Austin, it could lead to drivers wearing a dozen hats or "employers" and flipping between platforms depending on pricing which may benefit Uber/Lyft who can subsidize costs to undercut competition. Investors may then choose to go with an established firm like Uber as they already are in this cycle and may projects in the works that become the real money maker like self driving technology.
Perhaps you just haven't spent much time with domesticated cats. They are generally incredibly docile and friendly towards humans (ones they're familiar and comfortable with), especially if you compare a cat that has lived with humans its whole life to a completely feral domestic cat, or any other species of small, wild cats. Viewed through such a comparison, domestic cats might as well be dogs.

Personally, my two cats want nothing more than to constantly be on my lap, held, or petted. If I get too close to the larger one when he's sitting on an elevated surface, he'll try to climb my chest and rest on my shoulder. They also love to play with people.

As I write this the smaller one is curled up on my lap and cleaning herself. This is a very vulnerable situation for her and the fact that she does so on my lap means she feels safe there. Nothing very wild about that.
CloudFlare is against anything open source. They seem like they are a nice sharing company but think again. They like Amazon are Open source thieves.
They're going to need to do more than that.
Hey, I know a house cat when I see one. You’re not fooling anyone with your “science”!
Gambling, from the sound of it.
In the US, the situation seems pretty bifurcated. Upscale malls (mostly urban or near-urban) are generally doing pretty well. Bigger/better mid-market malls in the suburbs of relatively affluent cities are still mostly doing OK too.

But you don't even need to go to low income areas. The mall that is nearest me in a smaller city about 40 miles from Boston has anchor stores that are pretty much all retail chains that are cratering (Sears, JC Penny, Toys R'Us). The grocery store and Home Depot in the complex are always busy but the actual mall and other small stores are a ghost town. It's not exactly an upscale area but it's not depressed. (Heck, there are Tesla chargers in the parking lot.)
His book, One Up On Wall Street, references this idea of using casual observations to find undervalued stocks. You might find that interesting to look through.
I'd probably go with Black Panther or Doctor Strange.

Captain America: The First Avenger wouldn't be a bad recommendation either (and follow it up with the Agent Carter TV series, which is one of the finest examples of dieselpunk I've seen).
Sounds like buggy behavior. The logical conclusion is that the devs aren't rebooting their computer 7 times a day so your experience differs from theirs.

Perhaps they could benefit from a bug report.
T-Series is not comparable to TV Shows. Yes, it has more subscribers on youtube but it doesn't have that stickiness and loyalty that channels live TVF, AIB (did?), Timeliners etc have.

TVF created a series set in 90s India which resonated with the current late 20s crowd so well that it spread like wildfire. If tomorrow, TVF would launch a movie, it will pretty much fill all the theaters in the country.
All I can figure is Sony got a taste of that sweet sweet BS money (that made from IP and online services rather than products per se, that is) and got lost in it.
Indeed. You can even MAKE your own language with Racket to suite teaching needs.
Let me be super clear than.

"Gmail confidential mode is little more than a marketing strategy."

FALSE - This type of approach has real and direct security benefits. The fact that proton can't see understand that makes them idiots.

"Gmail’s confidential mode is little more than a marketing trick designed to pacify users concerned about privacy."

FALSE - Many business users using google are less concerned about privacy than they are about SECURITY. In the business context, most privacy is already given up, your employer can go through your emails. They can vault them up, do e-discovery on them etc etc. These aren't folks fighting off nation states. These are folks who someone in the office WILL click the bogus link and have their account taken over - and the business wants to reduce the blast radius.

Saying this is a marketing "trick" is silly and the fact that proton can't see that makes them idiots.
Yes, that's the risk exactly. If you start taking pictures of PHI on your phone over and over eventually your manager like the one above you is going to get fed up and drive you or fire you out of a job.

Actually, I was just pointing out the tautology B -> (A -> B). If you have B, then sure, A implies B, and not-A also implies B.

Although on further consideration, my previous comment may actually be wrong: "malicious programs" includes ones that attempt to violate the user's right to copy, and recipients who do not have the malicious program Gmail on their computer might not be able to copy or download your messages or attachments.
You're right? I guess we should just allow end users to do whatever they want. /s
No idea why your comment got flagged. You made a legit point here. CloudFlare is a highly over rated service that shouldn't be trusted.

Not to mention their bait-and-switch billing practice should be the only thing anyone is talking about when it comes to CloudFlare.
IF I may assume, majority of the people commenting here are 25+. I am sorry but movie theaters are not targeting you as primary audience. Why? You are an adult, you are likely to enjoy somewhere with alcohol/adult-food, in adult-only setting and somewhere you can get better value for your 'hard earned' money. Sure, you MAY catch that marvel flick but how many times do you really anticipate really watching a movie at cinema during the year?

See, with marvel and superhero movies and with chick flicks and raunchy over-the-top comedies, who are they targeting? You? Give me a break!

They are targeting the youth! The ones 16-22, you know the ones who are mostly students and have awkward social lives to begin with and the ones who are likely to religiously follow the movies, later buy the related merchandise and talk about it for long time in their gatherings.

And for kids below 16, there is a healthy stream of cartoon movies that Pixar, Disney and the like keep doling out to the masses -- case in point, the next Toy Story or Pets movie.

Because for that age group (22 and under), cinema is the biggest bang for the buck AND the cheapest night-out with friends (spend around 10 dollars for movie ticket followed by cheap pizza slice and can of cold drink before heading home).
Gee, I dunno, maybe think about it for a second. What does a 65 year-old lower middle-class retiree with some money stashed in a 401(k) have in common with an ExxonMobil shareholder aside from the need to generate as much profit as possible? Do you really think this makes sense from a public policy perspective, to pit the retirement needs of the old against, e.g., the environmental health of the young? Please spare me the purely symbolic and utterly meaningless "but they are shareholders, too" argument. Sure. Me and Warren Buffet, we're just the same!

It is quite literally dumb and fucked up to tie comfortable retirement to things like releasing carbon into the atmosphere, or defense industry profits, or Wal-Mart's quarterly profits, or to the stability of Jeff Bezos' marriage.
I've maintained a personal one for over 20 years of different designs and architectures etc. Sometimes I'll save code snips when they were particularly creative, but pretty rare. In general it is more for me to reference designs and help me be creative on solving new problems. One of the interesting things is looking back and seeing designs/solutions that were popular 20 years ago are still going strong, or in some cases are being sold under a new name as the greatest thing ever to exist and being totally new. I think that is fair of any industry though, so it isn't knocking anyone/thing, just kinda fun to see.

A lot of my notes are about particularly interesting problems or things that didn't work as much as things that did. This way I can try and not repeat mistakes or at least see why it went wrong and what might be different now. BTW I do this using an everyday spiral notebook (5 subject) to hand write things down and then over time I transfer them into a 3 ring binder I keep. I also keep the old notebooks which I usually date and write what I was doing then. The 3 ring binder is where I keep the stuff that seems more important and isn't just my quick notes, it will be sketched designs, written notes as well as the occasional code snip printed. I know I am evil but I also keep some important pdf's I have printed in there because frankly it is easier to keep track of then the electronic document over 20 years.

I also keep notes for each company I work at/with, generally I do those in some repository for the company (it is the companies not mine). This is nice because it gives others, not just me, some historical information on why things are and what we were discussing or other thoughts we might have had while doing design discussions. Today I use Quip for a lot of that for company specific notes, and honestly it helps for on-boarding too.

A few years back I started using OneNote as well for my personal notes, this has worked pretty well but I still handwrite a ton of stuff because I find people banging on a keyboard in a meeting hiding behind their laptop to be rude & distracting, so I won't do it. But I have been moving even some of my handwritten stuff into OneNote and/or Apple Notes, which I started playing with recently as well. What I like about both of them is they sync to multiple devices so I don't have to go digging as much.

This is, of course, why famously machine shops simply put up signs saying “don't touch the whirring metal” rather than using safety guards and similar measures.

I don't disagree that it's useful to have the extra arguments for map but the part which is really deadly is ignoring extra arguments, even if it's obvious why backwards-compatibility made changing it unlikely. I really wish that JavaScript had implemented keyword-arguments when the benefits had become obvious because when features like map were added a decade or two later they could have been defined as passing arguments by keyword and causing an error when given a function which didn't accept those names.

There is an old joke about on what shade of pink the FT is printed, where officially it is called "salmon," but more privately readers call it, "parlour."

As a former subscriber, this article is about the quality you can expect since the death or retirement of a number of their great writers. Gillian Tett keeps the whole thing afloat as the rest of their staff writers haven't written anything brave or challenging in almost a decade.

I don't mind that donors are putting riders on their "gifts," because funding a chair in something niche is how the system always worked. It is also a bulwark against populism from both sides and against political expediency and revolutionary zeal. The university system used to be for an elite so tiny it didn't matter, where now it's the gatekeeper institution to the middle class, almost like the way mandatory military service for citizenship was, but for a managerial society. Imposing fashionable ideas on the whole system as a means to undermine any foundation for opposition to them is cynical and dishonest.
