Meh. Wanting to replace javascript for frontend webdev is no different than wanting to run javascript on the server. It's not perverse or petulant. Everyone has opinions...

I've written a lot of python, javascript, C and go in my career, and my opinion is that javascript has done a barely adequate job despite being the only game in town.

Highlights from Facebook’s Libra Senate hearing
NVidia did a nice project a few years ago to model the moon landing in great detail.[1] It's a demo for their graphics cards. They did ray traced renders using actual reflectance data for the objects involved. The lunar surface is reflecting enough light to provide the effect of diffuse lighting from below. It's like being on sunlit sand under a dark sky.

NVidia comments that either the moon landing is real or NASA built a time machine to travel 50 years into the future to get a good GPU.

(For reference, the most powerful computer in the Apollo era, the CDC 6600, was about 10 MIPS. Modern desktop CPU, about 50,000 MIPS. Current top NVidia gamer GPU, about 10,000,000 MIPS. No way could computers of that era render photorealistic pictures.)

Tesla authorizes certain activities through their Bug Bounty program: https://bugcrowd.com/tesla

This is the first clause in the "in scope" section, so it is not unauthorized.

It would be bad if he used this to just wander around in their website, though. Nobody's contested whether this is worth a $10,000 payout yet, but this seems a decent place to point out that using https://beefproject.com , you can use that XSS vulnerability as a reverse proxy back into Tesla's network, and browse through the support site authenticated as the user currently accessing the XSS payload. This isn't just an XSS, it was a authentication bypass that a real attacker could have leveraged into access into that internal web site full of sensitive info in just a few minutes.

Thanks for the clarification.

On that subject, I've been led to believe the issue is related to chronic bombardment of sky-high THC with much too low CBD concentrations as the main contributor to this receptor burnout.

Compare to cultures that smoke a lot of outdoor "sess." They don't care about high percentages since they smoke to their comfort level regardless. They've been doing this forever, and this bad-reaction is a far more recent issue coinciding with the hydroponic strength race.

I imagine a lot of the modern concentrates do more harm than good without taking in a CBD balance.

There is usually a picture of the car along with a time and date of the incident. You would just simply appeal it and say that the car is clearly on a trailer and that the truck pulling the trailer is at fault.
Which are explicitly required to be non-private.

Users know this and are cautioned, explicitly against using it for that very reason.

Now if you don't care that google knows your information, then yeah, just use google maps. But a user must be at DDG for some reason right? And that reason is as likely to be privacy as it is not. So if you're at DDG for privacy, why ask for all google information?

The fine goes to the vehicle owner not the driver. This is why if you get fined by an automated speed camera or red light camera on a rental car, the rental company pay the fine and charge it back to you - with admin fees.

If it's a physical ticket on the car (parking, speeding, etc), you can pay it before the rental company ever hears of it and avoid those admin fees.

>Purely based on empirical observations (so, it's worth what it's worth) I feel like dog owners automatically assume that everyone else loves dogs as much as they do. They care very little about people who are scared, allergic, disgusted, etc.

I feel the same way about people who have kids.

Despite being allergic to dogs I loved having dogs at my workplace...and miss it as no dogs at my new work.

I understand why people would not appreciate it.
We had good rules and good owners. The dogs stayed in the owners office most of the day and only visited those who wanted to see them.

At least in my office almost everyone was happy to see the dogs.

Iceman Otzi possibly had lyme disease:

> DNA analysis also showed him at high risk of atherosclerosis and lactose intolerance, with the presence of the DNA sequence of Borrelia burgdorferi, possibly making him the earliest known human with Lyme disease.[48][56] A later analysis suggested the sequence may have been a different Borrelia species.[57]

He lived between approximately 3400 and 3100 BCE.

Migrating from Oracle to Postgres is much more appealing because you can avoid the high Oracle license costs.

I don't really see that much benefit in converting from MySQL to Postgres.

While Postgres is a legit database, so is MySQL. If you're looking to scale MySQL, I recommend the book High Performance MySQL.

For greenfield projects I'd be comfortable with either MySQL or Postgres.

> If only we could make the basic step of getting the masses to understand why being obese isn't okay

I don't think that this is the problem. The problem is that we don't really have a good way of helping people who are obese from being obese (with the exception of mechanical changes like a gastric sleeve). For people who are fat, you can't just explain to them that they shouldn't be fat. The failure rates for this are INSANE. AFAICT, explaining to fat people that they shouldn't be fat is just a feel-good exercise for the speaker.

But once you have fat people that you can't help, cognitive dissonance will kick in, and they will normalize it. I mean, the alternative (not normalizing their own physical bodies) is probably also quite harmful. So... Let's figure out an actual good way of helping people not be fat? Blaming fat-acceptance? meh.
I honestly believe that this is one of the main reasons why there is so much push back on climate change. Every time scientists say something catastrophic might happen (even though it might be true), I think people look at it and think that it must not be possible. If we were a little better in choosing the words we used to convey its urgency, I think it would reach a lot more people.
Is a cloaking device a tool of attack?
I'm not sure. You can't really be a full-time activist and a full-time employee of a tech company. Both women gained a national profile from the initial protests, it looks like they are attracted to activism, so I full expected them to leave the company and pursue activism full-time.

If global warming reaches the point it threatens our industry, our whole civilization will be halfway through collapse, and it won't end with computers not being needed for three decades.

Were you thinking 100 MJ perhaps (which seems awfully low). Energy isn't normally measured in tons. But if you were applying e = mc^2, then that would be 8.988e21 MJ [1], which is a considerable amount of energy.

When a country like India lacks drinking water a huge mass of people will be on the move.

Appreciate the /snark. It's tragic how common that viewpoint is.

I mentioned this in another comment, but it's striking how much this resembles all of Earth collectively going through various stages of the Kubler-Ross model of grief. I feel like those types of responses fall between denial and bargaining. Fair number of people still in denial/anger stages.
I thought people complaining in the comments were just being critical, but I clicked the “coffee shops” example search in the post - I’m in Hong Kong - and it showed me only 2 results:

I also exclusively use it in Colorado. There are times when I'm on heavily-trafficked mountain routes where I've swapped to google maps expecting to get a better ETA estimate or detour suggestions, but I haven't seen it perform any better in those cases either. I feel like I trust GMaps more in the mountains but I haven't tested that trust lately.

Privacy reasons aside, I just despise using GMaps for its clashing app styling on iOS and seemingly heavier battery usage. Apple Maps' design feels like it gets out of your way and focuses on the things that matter.
>As for EU involvement, it seems to have worked out for the best with forcing phone manufacturers to use USB for charging - I still remember the days of feature phones, where we were all drowning in phone chargers and (separate) data cables, as each brand and each model generation within the brand used different ports and voltages. It was ridiculous levels of plastic and electronics waste for the sake of business shenanigans.

You are romanticising the notion of Apple and EU being the standard rod-bearers. Despite using electrical waste and dubious business practices as a reason for EU involvement, it would seem that you are unaware of the saga of the 'common charger' and the villainous role played by Apple.

A key take-away:

The EU's failure to regulate, in essence, provides Apple with an argument to keep their own solution.

For Apple, the common charger is a success story – of regulation avoided.

There are a small percentage of flat out deniers. They are fringe. Their numbers overestimated.

On the other hand there is a large group of "I don't believe humans are a major contributing factor." Given what we know about the planet's history it's foolish to consider these ppl deniers. They believe. It's the cause they don't agree with.

This is becoming a classic case of too many people being worried about the wrong problem. Deniers aren't the issue. It's the "it ain't because of humans" cluster.

This is what the "safe harbor" that the author was referring to is supposed to cover.

Human civilization happened during recorde history though. So it's the hottest temperatures our civilization has ever had to deal with.

It's a perfectly sensible use of the word in that context. Anyone who went through grade school knows the earth was much warmer in the distant past, before humans existed.
This is cool to see, and I think should be a virtuous cycle. As I understand it, maps is the kind of thing where more usage really helps make the map better, and while DDG doesn’t bring the scale of being the iphone’s default map, it should be adding a non-trivial amount of traffic.

I’ve used Apple Maps as my primary map since it came out, and I’ve only gotten a wrong location one time in literally thousands of searches, and that was years ago. It wasn’t really ready when it launched, but it has gotten consistently better over time. The UX is great, in many cases the satellite imagery is more up-to-date compared to Google, and it doesn’t maul my battery to use. Not saying it’s clearly better than Google, because it isn’t, but for my usage it’s more than “good enough,” and I love to see Apple’s privacy respecting products compete effectively with big G.
> it's really stupid to criticize a paper that has recently been submitted to a preprint server for not being peer reviewed.

Isn't the entire point of the peer review process to have experts in the field review the methodology and reasoning? It seems reasonable to note that although something may appear to be an academic paper it has not yet been reviewed and thus is more likely to have problems.
It's humans that would be enacting regulations, too. With market pricing, the people involved are responsible for their own irrational behavior.

In almost every company, the person you can talk to when you feel threatened or are for some other reason panicking will very explicitly not automatically pass on this information to whoever is paying his salary. This is a weird reasoning (but I realise you might just be iterating the reasoning rather than agreeing to it).
I think if you're starting a project the amount of "gotcha" type stuff you'll hit in MySQL/Maria if you aren't already familiar with it is pretty significant compared to PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is also less fragmented, which seems to be an increasing issue with the MySQL family.

But if you're already pretty used to MySQL and it's working fine in your project already, I would only switch to PostgreSQL if you think specific features would be very worthwhile.

It might be worth comparing features. I have a project that benefits enormously in terms of reduced complexity from the PostgreSQL array types, but that's somewhat rare I think.

Other things that might be useful if you have special/specific needs are PostGIS, table inheritance (not really a huge thing), and foreign data wrappers.

But really you shouldn't switch because you "might" need one of them.
I was under the impression that a !g search was somehow anonymized. Was that just wishful thinking?
I think maybe the 4 dropped that feature or maybe they're adding it via firmware? I remember reading a story about a company hosting dedicated servers on Raspberry Pis and complaining how they couldn't network boot on the 4, which is just ridiculous.
You could start calling it global warming. Climate change was brought forward as a term to make it sound less frightening to the voting population.
> It's kind of funny how wanting to improve the company you work for is equated with "sabotage".

I definitely don't. I definitely applaud efforts to improve things (relationships, companies, ...).

But going public ("airing your dirty laundry") is a kind of an ultimatum - "I have no other option to enforce what I want than to public shame" - and, while potentially effective, it's also damaging for the other party (and, ultimately, the "whistle-blower").

And at that point, it seems that the values are already so misaligned (whether the employee, or the company, changed is ultimately not relevant) that "divorce" seems like the only option. I definitely wouldn't want to stay in a relationship with someone if they intentionally hurt me (regardless if it was "my fault" or not).

It would be so cool if they would add an option to select the preferred map provider. Obviously, preferences differ and for other features (e.g. directions source) they already have such options.
> Not saying it’s clearly better than Google

If privacy is worth something to you, it’s clearly better than Google.

I, too, use Apple as my primary map. In many cases, Apple Maps is better Google. The ones in which it’s behind are more than made up for by Apple’s values.

Well, the W3C's standardization attempts of XHTML were a bust. Microsoft's use of ActiveX was also quite proprietary (only ran on Windows as I recall). At the very least it wasn't an open standard.

ECMAScript however is open, very well-supported, and actually works. I see little connection between today's JS frameworks and ActiveX controls. That seems like a stretch of definitions.

It's hard to imagine an orderly retreat to more habital climates for that number of people. I think you underestimate the synergy between war, famine, and disease.

In this case the "royal we" is hiding a lot of death. I'm sure even in a 5 deg C worst case model maybe a couple of hundred million people can survive by the poles. But that means 90-95% population die-off. That's ignoring trophic web collapses and ecological damage to the world that human beings have adapted to for hundreds of thousands of years.
Why is it hyperbole if it's true? You're asking them to not report on the facts and instead downplay it. Is it to appease people who already don't believe in climate change?
