I’m not sure that’s true. Devs do well but not necessarily better than nurses, doctors, and engineers.

The big gap is in licensure and education. You can get a high paying job in tech starting with a GED if you play your cards right. That is because demand is so high, and the field has zero professional standards (in the sense of an actual profession with an actual organizing body, like nursing or medicine or engineering, etc.). The latter part is important. There may be lots of demand for nursing, etc., but real professional organizations do not lower their standards in order to accommodate demand.

Two things will happen this century. First, there will be many, many more people who know how to build basic systems (Web applications, etc.). Second, people will have a much better understanding of the risks involved in software development, which are now still mostly abstract to the public (but this is already changing). Once those risks become apparent, there will be an attendant demand for actual professionalization (standards bodies, licenses, codes of ethics, etc.). There will be greater regulation and classification of software development as a profession (i.e., you might not need a license for some kinds of work, but for other kinds, you will have strict licensing). This will drive up the compensation of (credentialed) developers to the level of doctors and engineers, but will also create many more barriers to entry in the process.
Hardly a well accepted account of that cooling period but I suppose laying the blame on Europeans and their offshoots is quite in vogue these days.
I love vintage computing and have wanted a 5100 for a few years now. Unfortunately the only time I've ever seen one on sale was about a year or two ago and I just couldn't afford it
Actually an amazingly smart play by Google - instead of making you prove you're human they make you prove you are monetizable.
Do you mean like going to space? There's some research but after everyone figured it that all humans inside would be instantly squished they started researching other avenues. The g forces are pretty large and would damage a lot of cargo too.
I watched a talk by someone in the intelligence community space nearly 8 years ago talking about the data dirt that most companies and spy agencies are combing through and the kind of abstract research that will be necessary to turn that into something consumable by all the stuff that private sector seems to be selling and hyping. So I think the old guard big data folks collecting yottabytes of crap across the world and trying to make sense of it are well aware and may actually get to it sometime soon. My unsubstantiated fear is that we can’t attack the data quality problem with any form of scale because we need a massive revolution that won’t be funded by any VC or that nobody will try to tackle because it’s too hard / not sexy - government funding is super bad and brain drain is a serious problem. In academia, who the heck gets a doctorate for advancements in cleaning up arbitrary data to feed into ML models when pumping out some more model and hyperparameter incremental improvements will get you a better chance of getting your papers through or employment? I’m sure plenty of companies would love to pay decent money to clean up data with lower cost labor than to have their highly paid ML scientists clean it up, so I’m completely mystified what’s going on that we’re not seeing massive investments here across disciplines and sectors. Is it like the climate change political problem of computing?
Not sure if you're trying to justify the jaywalking here, but if you want to live through 2020, I suggest looking before you leap.
I've never come across your scenario. I would say if you need to fix v2 with a breaking change, then v2 must be broken to begin with. All that being said, going to v3 is not a problem either. I have a few APIs where we went up to v7 after 2 years of operation without issues.
This is a garbage article. Give me a break. Humans are so full of themselves to think they are such an important driver of global temperatures.

I can provide a possible explanation. As a former developer of a social mobile app, I'm aware that Apple's app policies require that any social communication features also come with human moderators (the definition of human moderator is up for interpretation). In any case, that is counter to Gab's core philosophy.
This is one rabbit hole I don't mind falling in. So many links and pages to poke around in!

The key difference is that the Punk subculture sprung up around the music, where much of the 'rap music' was reflective (exaggerated and glamorized) of an existing situation and subculture. I think you can still argue that violent rap music incites or inspires crime though. I think you can generally criticize effects, but you skirt the line with racism when you start projecting that too broadly.

Agree about the address bar positioning, last time I used a browser that had this feature was dolphin browser, at least 5 years ago.
No a solution doesn’t exist - all of those solutions compile down to a native executable and don’t run on a VM. Even in a hypothetical unlikely future where the JVM, CLR, and whatever runtimes the scripting languages run on had to be signed (which is not a bad idea), you still would be able to write a program that did whatever you wanted unless now you’re going to say that in this hypothetical future, Apple is not only going to force signing, it’s also going to refuse to sign any executable that can run other programs.

This is correct. South East Asian Casinos were a huge money laundering front because of no KYC or questions.

Not anymore.
That is what I had meant but not how my wording ended up. Verify the contact info from the vendor/firm's site itself if possible.
As a cyclist in Austin, one of the first things I noticed when I moved to Texas was how many vehicles have grille guards. The vast majority don't buy these because they need them. They buy them because they like the look or because they think it'll make their vehicle survive a collision better. I've often thought about what the grille guard would do to me or a pedestrian.
Not for me. I had an uncle who was a Mech Engineering professor and I learned about his role in WWII and postwar Japanese rebuilding.
I consider myself pretty open to ideas across the political spectrum and even I could not stand being there for even an hour. Gab is what happens when you combine global centralization with extreme selection bias (people who are excluded or unwelcome from the global community platforms).

> Since reCAPTCHA v3 scripts must be loaded on every page of a site, you must send Google your browsing history and detailed data about how you interact with sites in order to access basic services on the internet, such as paying your bills, or accessing healthcare services.

> If you'll refuse to transmit personal data to Google, websites will hinder or block your access.

I wonder how true this really is. 20% or so of web users have ad blockers, and most ad blockers block scripts like Google Analytics out of the box. It isn't hard to see that most of them will not make exceptions for a new Google tracking script. So any site that does any kind of testing at all is going to see that ~15% or so of their users drop off if they block users who don't have a reCaptcha v3 score. The only sane business decision in response to this is to go with some alternative.

(Of course, there will be some sites that continue to block users, it's just that they will mostly be the sites that already block users running ad blockers.)
In summary he said HODL.
> You can still find ways to distract yourself in a manual.

True, but it's harder to text and drive when you really do need both hands (and both feet) to drive successfully.

Anecdotally, I find driving a manual transmission keeps me much more in tune with all of the variables involved in driving (inside and outside the car) than driving an automatic does.

Here’s a summary of the information we’ve added to our terms:

How we profit off your personal information: We include more details on how we make money, including a new introduction explaining that we don’t charge you money because you are the product.

Censorship: We provide more information about what happens when we remove content that violates our personal views.

Profiting off your IP: We clarify that when you share your own content — like photos and videos — you continue to own the intellectual property rights in that content. You grant us permission to do things like display that content or use it in advertising without any remuneration, and that permission ends when the content is deleted from Facebook. This is how many online services work so regardless of morality.

What happens when you delete: We’re providing more detail about what happens when you delete content you’ve shared. For example, when you delete something you’ve posted, it’s no longer visible but it can take up to 90 days to be removed from our systems. We cannot guarantee that what you posted has not been backed up on another system or that other companies are compelled to stop using your information once removed from our database.
I don't know why parent was downvoted. This is on top of the list of things that kept me from switching back to FF.
Cars in America got even more big and heavy, that's why.

One of reason why they got so heavy in the first place... was the higher requirement for crashworthiness.

People who come with those crashworthiness requirements need to put at least some effort thinking them through.
Replying to my own comment to clarify: it is true that you can't express a non-regular language with regular expressions. What I meant is, it is likely we can combine automata and backtracking based techniques to get the best of both worlds. In other words, an automata based engine doesn't necessarily mean you can't also have backreferences and still have efficiency gains.
This isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened, either. Amazon, before they introduced the Kindle, used Adobe DRM for ebooks. I lost a book I'd bought through them when they switched to Kindle.

The thing that really gets me is I had to register my book to buy it, with my email address. They had my address, and couldn't even be bothered to send me an alert, telling me that the DRM servers were being decommissioned, so if I wanted to license any new computers to use the book I should do so then.

I've not been able to replace that book either, so it's not like the refund they finally begrudgingly gave me could be put towards a replacement - that book has never been republished in any form that I have been able to find (Vinge's annotated version of his book A Fire Upon the Deep).
I've always considered the internet (in its current form) to be histories biggest book burning event. Hoarding rss feeds I often reached a point around 35 000 subs where the number of new ones I find is roughly equal to the deleted websites. I'm sort of stuck in a mental loop thinking of book burning.
If the argument is that it's OK because the driver will be there to stop the car from doing something fatally stupid, then that sort of defeats the purpose of not driving the car yourself; this isn't a "self-driving" car, it's glorified cruise control.
I think that depends on whether your queue is a fixed data set or a stream of new entries.

I learned queuing theory in a class about multimedia, and I came away with a good theoretical understanding but my practical understanding was rubbish. When synchronizing two streams of tasks, the queue is not finite, but the pattern is fixed. For A/V it might be 22 frames per second, best effort, and exactly one second of audio per second.

But any queue with even a vague notion of deadlines will only let so many tasks 'cut in line'. At some point the undesirable task gets scheduled, even in the face of a constant stream of other work. Or it gets dropped. From what I understand, in a realtime system a low priority, long task might just be aborted. Because it's never a good time to run it.

Funnily enough, top-address-bar has been one of my two biggest UX gripes about Android FF. Especially since iOS FF has the bottom adddress bar (which seems like a UI decision independent of their reliance on Safari's engine), and is so much nicer to use.

With you on the bookmarks though. Especially since they're putting this new "Collections" feature front-and-centre but it seems to have no integration with Your Library. The whole "Tab Groups", etc. paradigm has been tried time and time again: the reason it never sticks isn't because it's a bad idea, it's because it's never integrated with idiomatic browser features.
Which is a form of government regulation allowing punishment of poor/illegal performance. Medicare for all or a universal solution could enforce quality across all healthcare providers while simplifying negotiation not only as the federal government would be the only client to barter with but could make policy restricting costs or overhead in a careful manner.
You take the extra money and redistribute it. Either as a refund on your registration based on miles driven (meaning more efficient cars get more back than they spent) or as a straight up income tax credit for the poor.
Same. FF dev, uBlock, Decentraleyes

Changing the FF content policy from Standard to Strict appears to have no impact on the score.

Opening in a Private window drops it to 0.7 for me. I have a bunch of add ons allowed in Private Browsing, so not surprised it only dropped a little.

Of course, if you have 3rd party frames and scripts disabled globally via uBlock, it doesn't even load.

Do these tend to refer to audio players in particular, or to any ear covering? I'm curious (1) whether that applies to balaclavas for warmth in the winter and (2) whether an earplug in my left ear would be allowed. As a daily biker, it's astounding how deafening trucks/motorcycles can be.

A friend overlaid an EDM track (Flux Pavilion if I recall) on the original test fire videos from several years ago when the prototype was located at the Virginia test site. I enjoyed the short piece of creative they remixed in the same way I enjoyed the Iron Man franchise. It’s a killing machine, but the engineer in me still deeply appreciates the advanced technology these systems are based on (energy/thermal management, power control systems).

SpaceX vehicles are a firmware update away from being high precision ICBMs (and their CEO has said they’d take DoD work and build weapons systems). No one on here is calling for somber treatment of that kit and their YouTube launch streams. Condemn the action, not the tool.
Texas Penal code specifically uses the term "habitation", not "property" when discussing the use of deadly force. If some jackass is shooting at strangers who wandered onto his property, he's committing a felony.

See Texas Penal Code §9.31 (castle doctrine as it relates to trespass and non-deadly force) and §9.32 (castle doctrine as it relates to habitation and deadly force).

You could either stop using these services or (as I suspect) you find them too valuable to dismiss entirely quarantine them to a VPN/incognito interaction in less time than it took to type that comment.

I don’t want to single you out personally but there’s a broad trend on HN of bitter-sounding commentary on the surveillance powers of these companies by people who can easily defeat any tracking that it’s economical for them to even attempt let alone execute that reeks of sour grapes that a mediocre employee at one of these places makes 3-20x what anyone makes (as a rank and file employee) anywhere else.

Again, you’re not likely part of that group, but seriously who hangs out on HN and can’t configure a VPN?

> If we did end up stabilizing on “most people just buy Netflix,” over the long haul, I would expect to see studios quit producing blockbuster TV, and for content quality to look more like it did in the 80s/90s.

You mean the period just before the drive to replace most scripted TV content with “reality” content as a cost cutting measure? That period is probably the peak of non-premium TV content quality.

Netflix is basically, a single premium channels with a slightly bigger catalog of third-party older content, and priced as such. If everyone subscribed just to one such service and not a huge package of non-premium channels, I'd expect quantity of (non-premium) content to drop, but peak quality of (premium) content to stay the same and average quality of all content to go up.

I really wonder how much they already made.
One of the problems with existing Navy "gun ships" is that explosive ordinance can be a hazard to sailors and has to be handled very carefully. Additionally, it has to be stored very carefully. One of the things a railgun hypothetically allows is launching non-explosive inert projectiles. What happen when you launch a big hunk of steel at something 200 miles away travelling Mach 6? Another huge benefit is the speed allows using this for anti-surface and potentially anti-air as well (covered in the article), something conventional munitions can not do.
That sounds logical. It’s also exactly the reason many of us don’t want to give up our information to these companies. There is absolute uncertainty as to how it will be used in the future.
I think Congress fails to properly police and regulate itself. I'm not sure what the answer is to that problem, but an unaddressed fundamental flaw of the Congressional system to me is that there is no incentive for them to even remotely approach changes that affect Congresspeople.

One cannot expect those that benefit from X to write laws restricting X. It's why money will never be out of politics. There will never be enough people in Congress to sacrificially agree to such an idea.
Chrome and Edge uses the OS' own storage mechanisms for passwords (Safari too?), and that's considerably more safe than a plain text file.

Firefox uses a weaker scheme, but the passwords are still encrypted and it's definitely less accessible for an intruder compared to a plain text file.

Human language and human behavior are both very squishy, so it's unlikely we'll come up with an objective definition that everyone can agree upon in all cases. I wouldn't define slavery strictly in terms of the law because then things like human trafficking are excluded. Cast your net wide enough and sure, children being forced to do chores would qualify.

At some point you just have to draw an arbitrary line in the sand and say "this is slavery, that is not".

Unless the point of your comment was to deny that Google is collecting this data at all (because, according to you, there's no financial incentive), I don't see the relevancy of your criticism. The complaint of the top level comment was that Google is collecting extremely personal data on us. Your response is that Google doesn't have an immediate financial incentive to do this. If you're not actually denying that Google collects this data, why does that matter? For most of us, the fact that our personal data has some financial value to a corporation is irrelevant to the fact that we don't want them to have it.
it's pretty crazy considering that RPM has been around since as long as I first installed Linux from floppy back in 1997.

no wonder rpm no longer get's much love. RPM is too old, but sadly not old enough. My hope is in 20 years time @Foone[1] will warm our hearts with a thread on how he used RPM's to install the gnu toolchain on a fedora based IoT toaster from 2000-late.

> Does the universe require perception in order for there to be existence?

If you use big bang theory, the universe existed prior to observers perceiving it. So there was existence and no perception. Perception appears to have evolved out of existence. The story of the big bang is sort of neat. It looks like many fundamental particles didn't exist until the time was right for them to come into being.
