You already have and API. The site proposes two products: "Zoko Notify API" (with a Swagger UI) and "Zoko Chat Sales", in that order.

I can't see the pricing... Also, Zoko is not using Zoko. Contacting you requires sending a form, instead of being able to chat with you.

Why are you not using it?

Is putting the location, physical address, and marker on the map absolutely necessary on your contact page?

Also:

> Chatting with customers leads to a 48% increase in revenue per chat hour and a 40% increase in conversion rate.

Where is that from? I found a Medium post with dubious "stats". Maybe include testimonials in text and video?
As has been discussed on HN, this whole 737 MAX flaw is not a software problem. Boeing wants you to believe it is. The flaw is actually a physical design problem of the aircraft. Even if the software were to work perfectly, the plane is still flawed. The only real fix is not to fly the 737 MAX.

Can you elaborate on those one word answer questions?
Africa can offer to be a great economy and help the world growing. History will tell. When British went around and loot the world, no one would think they would represent human rights standard now, right?
Yes, I know about this. I wasn't accurate: let's say there is no practical talk or any actual government plan for retreat. The real estate market here is hotter than ever. More metros, airports and houses are being planned and built in the Randstad (that's the area that's under sea levels and the most important economic part of the land). Some experts think gradual retreat needs to be thought about, while many others think we can solve it by other means, or simply wait and see to get a feel for the sea level rise pace (which I think is the ideal way. we simply don't know enough yet). I'm taking an unpopular opinion here I guess but I just don't think we know enough to panic...
I think the chance the Randstad would be evacuated in the next 50 - 100 years is about similar to the chance San Francisco would be evacuated; close to zero. Too much real estate, infrastructure, and historical treasures lie in these cities (think about Amsterdam for example). Even a massive sea dyke that costs about 80 billion euro, that would become a second coast for the Netherlands and could withhold 2-3 meter sea level rise, will be tried and built before you evacuate a trillion dollar worth of infrastructure.
And it's not hugely different than Europeans. I mean, when I lived there how many told me that Tasmania wasn't a part of Australia or they were downright shocked that Christmas is in summer like they've never heard that before. You don't even need to follow anything to have a clue about that.
>At one end of the scale you have Benjamin Franklin's "That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer, is a Maxim that has been long and generally approved" and at the other end you have China's ...

But you're still arguing at the extremes and evading the central question of whether everyone is treated equally under the law. If the law rules, then everyone will be treated equally under it. Yet we find that in nearly every place on Earth, the law does not rule, because not everyone is treated equally under it. (And I only say "nearly" because I'm not 100% sure that there isn't some society out there that treats everyone equally. I'm 99.99% positive there is not, but I've not been everywhere in this world. But I'm 100% sure we don't have such a system in the US, because I'm an American, and I know America.)

All that said, even debating the extremes, I mean, how many times you see some old black guy getting out of prison after 31 years or whatever because he didn't do it? You say, "See! He got out. So there must be Rule of Law!" But that's not how it works, because if there was Rule of Law, it would have been illegal to put him into prison in the first place. It was not.

So again, we, ourselves, don't practice the whole "...better 100 guilty persons escape..." maxim. You can say, "Well, there are racial complications." or "Well, there are financial issues that go into legal representation too." or etc etc etc. But that's the same as saying that the law is not paramount.
We will see. Right now when Spain buys oil from Norway (EU member and European Economic Area member) they (have to?) use US Dollars, which is insanity from the perspective of both countries.

Ghadaffi wanted to trade oil for Euros and we all know how it end up.
> Exactly so. But, you have to use a proper editor with automatic indent, paren matching, and the ability to navigate by s-expressions.

Autoindent and paren matching is currently a basic feature of virtually all mainstream text editors. Therefore, picking up any random mainstream text editor is already enough to address your concerns.
Amazing job you did there. That's oddly interesting to measure a data we use without common convention, it really draws out the human tendency of picking up a number.

You can do that in the UK already too. Or self scan at a checkout. I think the difference here is really that they're talking about using cameras instead of scanning and it seems not even having a cashier as an option.

I think nearly half of people do some grocery shopping online these days, I wonder if that's putting more pressure on supermarkets to reduce overheads like cashiers. The lower end supermarkets seem to mostly go the other way - with Aldi and Lidl not having self scan checkouts even other than trials.
yeah at this point I consider a game like that solved and my interest in it disappears along with any craving to explore more. It is solved, move on.

The thing is that the gulf between CT and other branches of math is also there. CT maybe be generally capable of specifying any given problem but the further you branch away from it the more convenient it is for individuals to use a more domain specific language.

The simple fact is that CT is not a linga franca no matter how much advocates would like it to be.
A single button did indeed cause me to jump ship.

Android devices are functionally pretty similar, and at the time the Huawei and Samsung scored the same ratings for their cameras and had near-as-makes-no-difference performance. So it was an easy decision. Samsung had a rage-inducing button, the Huawei did not.

> But if you had the key cached, and it changed, you’d probably freak out.

Not in the servers-as-cattle age. By default, a rebuilt server will have a new key. Otherwise, you'd have to save the server SSH key in your configuration/build files, and then you've moved what you have to protect to the source control of the servers, and probably exposed that secret key to many more people and developers than you would have done by leaving the key on the server.

Jumping one stratum forward, with hosted k8s you don't even know the host's key; you do everything via HTTPS and the almost globally accepted list of secure CA:s.
keybase.io also decided that PGP is terrible and made their own ASCII armor format (that is arguably much better than the horrible abomination that PGP likes to produce).

Basically unless you plug your GPG installation into keybase or do other GPG specific things, it's not using PGP/GPG at all and instead their own format.

IIRC there were huge swathes of 'gotchas' with running 286 pmode code in 386 pmode, to the point where lots of code simply wouldn't work at all.

> They prevent easier program concatenation and ad hoc parser writing.

This assertion is patently false. Parens make it quite trivial to parse and render the underlying tree structuee rather obvious. Concatenating programs is just a matter of splicing a subtree into the target tree.
It's ok to criticize them heavily: they're multi-billion dollar companies, you're the client and "As a user I want to use my phone to receive calls" is one of the most essential use cases.

Close, but imprecise. I’m saying two things:

You can lose data with a faulty hard drive if your backup is silently corrupted and you don’t realize it. That’s not a risk here, as long as before restoring from backup you upgrade the phone OS to patch the bug.

Also, you can lose data with a faulty hard drive if you have no backup.

Rooters especially will care about these points since they typically cannot restore from backups without upgrading the phone away from a rooted version, due to choices made by Apple in firmware.

Interesting approach, but doesn't using your product add another attack vector? Surely Enchanted's CDN will be a rich target for attackers.

Full disclosure: I'm in private beta with a product that periodically loads production sites and compares all executed JS to the last-known-good profile (usually from CI prior to deployment), and raises warnings if anything changes. We don't run in actual users' browsers, so we won't see malicious code as early as Enchanted, but you don't have to trust us.
I would have liked to see the first graph in number order instead of rank. Being in rank order doesn't tell me much. Later is the graph with all numbers in number order, but I think that first graph with just the top 50 would be far more interesting in number order.

In many places here in France you can just order online on Carrefour's (or one of the other supermarkets) website and get your stuff delivered to your house, so that seems like more or less what you're looking for, unless you really want to scan physical items yourself rather than online.

Although what most people use is actually the reverse, you order the items online and go fetch them with your car, an employee puts the bags in your trunk and you're on your way. You can either pay online or on site.
Where did you get a "nice unused eInk display" from? :) I've been meaning to tinker with one at some point, but haven't gotten hold of one yet.
It's a problem with the entire process. The hardware, software, safety as an option, lack of training, risk assessment, design, alarms that aren't easily identifiable, features that can't be over-ridden.

There's issues throughout practically every step and they want people to believe that they're just going to push a software update and everything will be 100% fixed.

Is there a mechanism for IoUs / credit lines for members?

I've seen trust-based mate shops at hackerspaces around the world, and I've been told that the ones that have a credit system (even one that's not limited, checked, and that's not even authenticated) end up actually not having any significant losses. Like, anything from a piece of paper with people noting down unpaid mate purchases to things like android tablets with a webapp letting you note that you put in a bill of N euros and taken out a bottle of mate.

Friction from being able to pay right away seems to lead to "I'll pay extra later" thinking, which makes people either forget or miscalculate how much they actually owe.

From my experience (and I emphasize on that) I can tell you from us (I'm from East Africa, speaking English, Swahili, French and two other natives languages) being proficient in at least English/French is an existential question. I really understand why a US citizen may think twice before starting learning a new language. For us, if you want a "normal" life, you do have to learn other 2 languages. We do not have that luxury.

From the article:

The penalty is divided up between the other European

So it seems most of it will go to other European data authorities.
>Given the choice, I’ll take the lesser of two evils which is a company that is interested in knowing the things I buy and where I go, for the express purpose of selling better ads.

The choice is the crux of it. I'm not on Facebook, I choose not to have a "smartphone", I don't use free email or other web services that harvest my information and I avoid a variety of other activities that may offer every day conveniences at the sacrifice of my privacy to various corporations. I don't have this choice when it comes to the government.

We can debate exactly where the 4th amendment applies to prevent the government from hoovering up all our data so that they can track us all individually, in real time, and monitor all of our communications and interactions - but nobody can reasonably argue that the 4th amendment doesn't kick in at some point to prohibit this. Its always harder to claw back power the government has claimed than to stop them from claiming new ones. Its also the reason we need more transparency, so that we know exactly what information the government is harvesting and how closely we are being monitored and tracked.

Yeah, it seems that Boeing hit a hard design limit with the 737 airframe. Main issue is the low ground clearance which makes it impossible, one could argue, to fit new engines. Which would mean that the 737 reached its end-of-life. That must scare the shit out of Boeing execs, and rightly so when your bread and butter product needs to be replaced by something new.

Monetary sovereignty is an ambiguous concept here in Africa. Many countries use the Dollar as acceptable forms of payment, and countries surrounding South Africa are susceptible to the strength of the Rand compared to say the Namibian Dollar, Botswana Pula or Zim Dollar.. So when many nation's already rely on a secondary currency, why have that currency be the Dollar? Make it a single currency, which works across borders (a major factor for Africans as many work in other countries and send money home) and begin to stabilise African economies together, rather than one at a time via the China/IMF's predatory loans.

I believe instead of using sensors and camera with computer vision, what if someone uses RFID systems for self checkout.

Implementing RFID would be cost effective as compared to implementing Amazon Go based approach. Where you need to install sensors and camera installed!

I think the Borris one was more for PR rather than being financially profitable. It was for less than £100k if I remember correctly. Surely there are much bigger fish to fry out there.
Protection of property and property rights is seen as part of capitalism though.

Intellectual Property is a strange concept, but there is something going on, after all movies and TV shows have enormous budgets and they depend on revenue, which is still basically made from individual cinema goers and TV channels (ads), and subscribers (no ads).

The never expiring copyright is the problem, and the very strict fair use (eg sampling, and fanfics are illegal unless proper licences have been attained).

This leads to relatively few complex and kind of efficient for-profit content producers, and a lot of very small not-for-profit enthusiasts (who are probably hyper-efficient in some dimensions, but since their competence is naturally limited, they will not be that efficient in all the relevant/required domains). So we have Hollywood, a few independent filmmakers doing the small budget creative stuff, the regional markets with their respective woods (eg India, China, Japan), plus usually countries have some funding for local productions, but that's it.

And maybe even this would be more than enough weren't almost all of the content locked up in archives. (And only available maybe on torrent, or maybe on a random on-demand pay-per-view site.)

For your first question, there's an optional hash you can add that locks the code to its known hash. Also, you can self-host everything if you like.

The type of product it sounds like you're running is a scanner and scanners have a couple problems. First, there's cloaking: if the malware can detect that it's a scanner (usually pretty easily) then the malware doesn't activate. Second, the malware comes from trusted code that you already think is trusted, and that's a problem if you overlook something because it's trusted. By contrast, Enchanted Security would see it since it runs on every users' browser all the time.
Thanks for making me chuckle early in the morning.

Aviation is about managing the risks. Even flawed airplane like 737NG (a 4 decades old airframe when designed, whole bunch of hacks from cockpit to elevator) can become very safe with 0.2 hull losses per million flights. The Classic had its rudder issue, it was fixed. This will also get fixed by a combination of engineering, code, checklists and training. It won't be cheap but it will get fixed

At my company, we used fixed dependency version numbers for external libraries. The libraries are tested and we do take sample traffic snapshots from browsers using automation to see what our users see.

But this approach only takes care of simple, entry level attacks. A highly targeted attack, that lies dormant in a compromised library for ears, and it's engineered to avoid detection, e.g hiding for certain IPs or self-removing the code when the debug console is open - this is impossible to defend against, to my knowledge. How would you defend yourself?

Who's going to put up the money? Not Redhat, they don't want to pay for it anymore. Will the nvidia users? Will they be willing to pay for their card twice? Will Nvidia pay for the continued development of X, when they already seem to loath spending money on linux?

If nobody picks up the slack, the paths ahead seems pretty clear. Either Nvidia produces a proper driver, or their support for the Linux desktop can be classified as legacy at best. Feeling upset about this situation doesn't change the nature of it.
Yep pretty much :)

Actually it's worse than that. Even without 3rd party JS, most major websites these days run on large piles of open source libraries that have never been security reviewed (e.g. code from npm, rubygems, PyPi, NuGet) and attackers are increasingly targeting those underlying libraries for compromise...
I don't believe that they do represent a human rights standard.
