You are implying that they are doing something nefarious by omission. Because it’s implied, you also gave yourself the escape hatch to say “Where did I say that?” When called out on it.

A reasonable person reading your comment would think you are claiming the Brave team added code to surveil your network. If they dig deeper through the link you provided, they learn that the reality is that they inherited code from the Chrome team that exists only to support Chromecast. The problem has been found, a bug has been filed and the feature will be removed.

But, most people won’t dig. They’ll take your comment at face value and walk away with a very different story than the reality.

Now I sound like I’m accusing you of being nefarious :p But, I don’t think you planned out spreading FUD. I think you were dissatisfied and wanted to share a strong version of your user story. Unfortunately, your story is so strongly worded that is ended up resembling techniques used by trolls.
I did have a case on it! But I'm pretty sure I dropped it more than my SE. Maybe the overall size contributed to that, but I've gotta think the rounded edges play a factor, even when a cast gives a bit more grip/thickness.
Random statistics do not prove a point.

Net zero emissions over the whole of the UK is a very profound change and I am not even sure that the technologies exist today to make it happen sustainably or at all.

I think many people really do not realise how profound and far reaching that is, bearing in mind that the aim is not to destroy the country's fabric and economy in the process.

I'm in the 0% of users still holding on to their iPhone 5. Yeah, I know, I should get a new phone, but I was really hoping 5G would be sorted before I did that. And when I do, I'll buy the smallest phone I can get.
The other tradeoff is you're giving Google an extraordinary amount of power to decide who is allowed and not allowed on your website with no transparency on how this decision was made. Not sure what company is willing to blindly trust Google with that power.
I've been an Android user since day one but the iPhone 5/SE is my ideal phone size. I currently have the Pixel 2. I don't want a bigger phone. Hopefully in the future a screen that can bend will improve and we can go back to flip phones.
iPhone 6 and 6s still make 21% of the pie chart. I wonder how many of these people are still holding on to the phone due to the headphone jack and the charger.
I was writing a batchwise ETL tool (to break documents in some proprietary format down into rows to feed to Postgres's COPY command) and I achieved a remarkable level of IO parallelism by relying on Unix tooling to do my map-reducing for me.

1. I wrote a plain SQL mapper program, which spawns a worker-thread pool, where each worker opens its own "part" file for each SQL table, such that a document consumed by worker N gets records written to "tableA/partN.pgcopy".

2. And then, after the mapper is done, to do the reduce step, I just spawned a `sort -m -u -k n1` invocation to collate the row-files of each table together into a single `.sql` file. This not only efficiently merge-sorts the (presorted) "part" files into one file (without needing to sort the files themselves), but also blows away any rows with duplicate primary-keys [i.e. duplicate first columns in the row's TSV representation]—meaning I can restart the mapper program in the middle of a job (causing it to create a new set of "parts") and sort(1) will take care of cleaning up the result!

I honestly don't think anything could be done to make this system more optimal for its use-case. sort(1) goes crazy fast when it can mmap(2) files on disk.

(Also, I'm pretty sure that even the framework part of the mapper program—the "N persistent workers that each greedily consume a document-at-a-time from a shared pipe, as if they were accept(2)ing connections on a shared socket"—could be created with Unix tooling as well, though I'm not sure how. GNU parallel(1), maybe?)

Bonus: once you have SQL rowsets in TSV form like this, you can calculate a "differential" rowset (against a rowset you've already inserted) using `comm -23 $new $old`. No need for a staging table in your data warehouse; you can dedup your data-migrations at the source.
This just prevents me from being able to quickly hit tab to get to the password field. It also makes it so that my password manager can’t auto fill everything in one go.

> where does it all come from? The UK doesn't have a lot of sunshine, nor do I see a lot of wind farms compared to other EU countries

For Scotland at least the stats are:

- Onshore wind 7.8GW

- Hydro 1.655GW

- Offshore wind 0.623GW

- Solar PV 0.344GW

Some of these 3-digit locks are so simple/bad one can actually just see the open slot on each ring. After which you just have to align them. If that fails, some of them have just enough space so you can put something thin (like a needle with a bent end) and can feel where the slot is. Usually faster than brute forcing.
As a former new grad, the YoE and prior experience makes a difference in these aggregate numbers even within a particular level. If these were more granular it would be better, but it probably gets better with higher levels.
I'm a chip designer and this article kinda cracked me up. For microwave signals on submicron lines, losses get very significant. It seems that PCB design inherits our practices in places these issues aren't so critical.

But then I wonder about applications. If you ignore this rule of thumb, and gang a few hundred boards together sharing a clock... will your signal survive?

With Firefox fingerprint resisting turned on and with Ublock Origin/UMatrix, I get a score of 0.1. And I'm not even on a VPN; I'm sure on my home network I'd have an even lower score.

To me, it feels like Google's entire strategy behind reCaptcha is to make it harder to protect your privacy. We've basically given up on the idea that there are tasks only humans can do, and to me V3 feels like Google openly saying, "You know how we can prove you're not a robot? Because we literally know exactly who you are." I don't even know if it should be called a captcha -- it feels like it's just identity verification.

I don't think this is an acceptable tradeoff. I know that when reCaptcha shows up on HN there's often a crowd that says, "but how else can we block bots?" I'm gonna draw a personal line in the sand and say that I think protecting privacy is more important than stopping bots. If your website can't stop bots without violating my privacy, then I'm starting to feel like I might be on the bots' side.
It is still an interesting example. Following your suggestion, which is a good one, the player's holdings at time N, starting with $1, are:

H = [1.5 or 0.6] * [1.5 or 0.6] * ... } for N factors

To make it into a more familiar process, take logs:

log H = log([1.5 or 0.6]) + log([1.5 or 0.6]) + ...

Now we have a familiar random walk with drift, and our intuition is much better-developed for this process. In particular, the mean

E log H = Sum{1..N} E log([1.5 or 0.6])
= Sum{1..N} [-0.023]
= -0.023 N
< 0

So the expectation of the log earnings is negative. In fact, because of the drift, sample paths of log H will be unbounded below with probability 1. This nontrivial fact (from the basic theory of random walk) will determine how the process sample paths (even outside the log domain) "look" - they will always eventually squash towards 0. Every single one.

But the expectation of the earnings themselves (as several comments have shown) is > 1. Apparently, without the compression given by the log, the upward excursions given by lucky bets outweigh the unlucky ones.

We can look at this discrepancy ("good game in original units, bad game in log units") the other way. Even though the sample paths eventually go to zero, in that case, you only lose $1. Whereas many other sample paths will make large excursions upward before coming to zero. So the expectation of the non-logged process adds up over many losses of $1, and a few low-probability gains of much more.
But fitting in a pocket is a pretty huge feature. If it doesn't fit in my pocket, I cann't carry it around, and if I can't carry it around, I won't buy it.

The subheadline gets it right:

> It’s great for security—but not so great for your privacy.

For individual users, security and privacy frequently go hand-in-hand. But for site operators, user privacy makes security a lot harder. The more you know about a user, the easier it is to figure out if they're an adversary.
They're essentially talking about enabling. Sometimes listening and acknowledging can actually be harmful. Especially over a long term period of time if the person being acknowledged isn't actually changing (or attempting to change) the underlying behavior that's driving the unwanted effects.

you will identify yourself to google, or you will be denied the web.
Some people have actually gone so far as to have an outside wall taken out, a bat house installed (prevents ingress into the house at large) and then sealed up save the small bat entrance. They enter, hang, sleep, exit. There is a tray that can be slid out, washed, and re-inserted. This is not for the faint of heart, as the potential for exposure to rabies and other toxic goo is high, but some do it nonetheless.

TLDR : I like large screen, pocketable phone.

It depends on how one plans to use it. I personally don't want to carry one device for reading, one for watching videos in addition to a phone. (It's very unweildy, I have done that for some time so I know)

Large screen phone for me is a catch all device. When commuting, I can catch up on Netflix or read books comfortably on iPhone 8+

Landscape orientation and continusous scrolling in Kindle or Apple Books works pretty good. The screen is just about right size for watching video content as well without much strain.

I say this as I invariably carry a laptop as I do get uncontrollable urges to write code at any random time of the day. If that happens while I am commuting and lucky enough to have a seat, I have my personal Thinkpad (or a work MacBook) to that end.

Have been trying Pythonista+WorkingCopy recently, seems OK on an iPad, hopefully if I get in the flow of using it on iPhone 8+... happy days. Maybe I will consider getting Xs Max (cost and lack of physical home button are keeping me away from it for now)

Same, the way to look at a low score is "I'm getting privacy right".
Each individual country is expected to enforce the rules on its own citizens. The FCC does so here in the US. If I remember right, but am on my phone, there are countries that are not party to the international rules (or don't have agreements with the us? I'm fuzzy) and (us) hams are not supposed to deliberately contact operators in those countries.

Rethinking Formal Models of Partially Observable Multiagent Decision Making
I found this very enlightening. Thank you!
I'm not suggesting there aren't great apps out there - I'm saying they're effectively impossible to find, and new app developers pretty much can't break in any more. There are 100 terrible apps for every good one, and you'll never find some of the best apps out there using the app store because of that noise. Finding new apps is driven by word of mouth, curation, etc. Apple themselves add practically nothing to the ecosystem, and certainly not enough to justify their 30% cut.

The list you added to your post is a good example of this - all those apps are examples of things that had a community outside of the app store before they had iOS versions. They're not good or successful because of Apple, but in spite of Apple.
Seems plausible - got a reference?

But it does damage during that time (especially if on the wrong side).
All the safes I have used have codes that get closer to ‘0’ with each turn/direction change. This might be a low number when turning anti-clockwise or a high one when turning clockwise. These weren’t sophisticated mechanisms, so it might just be these models.

> if its needed we can add taxes ... in the bill

You should check the related laws to produce compliant bills.

I don't know about the US and its various state laws, but in my country, such pieces of informations are mandatory on bills. Well, there are different forms of bills, and also there are different requirements depending on the amount charged; but anyway all these are things you should study in order to publish a piece of software which produces bills which conform to local laws. Some governments can get really picky when it comes to the main or a major source of their income (VAT and such other taxes) and possible fraud indicators.

There are a lot of sites that are totally unusable on Firefox regardless how much you use ff.

I do all my mobile browsing on FF yet when I try to use some websites I always get this Recaptcha failed error(1) while it works flawlessly on chrome though I never use it often. Try it, maybe it will happen for you too.

Same happens on most sites which show you that "checking your browser" page via cloudflare too.

When talking about groups, that makes sense. I think one of the points that the author is making is that it doesn't make sense to apply this to individuals within this group.

"White males are privileged" is a reasonable statement to make with plenty of evidence to support it. "You have it better than me because you're a white male" doesn't, because there's a significant amount of overlap in the bell curves of "better off" (regardless of how you define it) between white males, and black women (to give an example).

It's more-or-less the same argument as assuming that any given man is physically stronger than any given woman because on average men are stronger.
They aren’t. Conventional weapons manufacturers don’t have a great cool factor. See Masters of War by Bob Dylan for a popular take on this.
