They've been a thing in the US for a long time as well. I remember them in the early 1990s when I was a teenager, so I assume they probably existed for decades before that. I don't know why MoviePass was perceived as a good idea, other than the notion of centralizing the service into one bigger company and away from individual theater chains (which could then give an entity like MoviePass leverage to suck more value out of the movie theaters as a whole; another middleman parasite that adds very little real value).

I'm working on a Java parser/semantics analysis in Rust, and it'll replace the current semantics engine of https://lilit.dev.

We are processing 100,000 Java files at a time with Scala/Java It currently uses 10GB of RAM. Moving to Rust will reduce memory usage drastically, and that will reduce my bill.

But I'm not going full Rust because of mundane stuff like move data here and there. It's better to use Scala or a language with higher abstraction. The time sink is IO/database call anyway, so the performance gain per request might not be that significant.
This is why I run uBlock Origin, which blocks the ad-tracking code at the network level. Pretty much anything in a third-party iframe doesn't even get to load from the server; the browser simply doesn't make the request. Doesn't stop anything the origin runs, but most origins don't; the third party embeds are generally the biggest threat.

This is also why Twitter having problems is such a big deal; as far as I'm aware, Twitter is serving their own ad-tracking code, rather than a third-party's code. Thus, it's harder to block completely, and any vulnerabilities might (somewhat) affect even users that are running privacy extensions.

On macOS, if my understanding of the current situation is correct, code signing normally covers all binaries in an application bundle, including binaries in all bundled frameworks. What's different about Electron is that it puts application code, which is not a binary, into the Resources/ directory, which is not signed.

I just tried this out with Slack on macOS, and it did work... almost as advertised. I had to use sudo to change the application files, which means this isn't really much of a novel attack surface, but it did bypass the code signing checks quite handily.

So, is this a "vulnerability"? That may be a stretch, as far as I can see, but putting application code in Resources/ definitely counts as a "smell" in my book.

Hi folks,

As a super early version of our product (reclaimai.com), we put together a Google Script that will dump out your upcoming week of calendar events into a spreadsheet and gives you tools for mapping how much time you're spending on your top priorities each week. It's been a great weekly planning ritual for us over the years. We'd love feedback on the approach and -- of course -- if you're interested in Reclaim, give us a shout.

Thx!

Yes, B makes sense.

Contact will cause much more absorption.

For the same reasons, heating soup will absorb a lot more than a salad without dressing.

Glass also won’t absorb some of your foods. Happens a lot with tomato sauces and plastic.

On the positive side, reused plastic is probably safer than fresh plastic, since more of the easily liberated fragments will have already broken free.

That's a rather cynical take. The objective function is clearly defined as "giving recommendations the user agrees with". As such, a well-working algorithm is clearly superior to search, almost by definition.

Here's an optimistic cultural take: good recommendations take you outside your bubble. It's not following Return of the Jedi with Episode I, but changing to something different, that you enjoy even though you would not have expected it.
It's one of those technical things that makes sense when it's said, but doesn't really hold any merit. Here is what the law requires.

> If a person or entity making a call for telemarketing purposes (or on whose behalf such a call is made) receives a request from a residential telephone subscriber not to receive calls from that person or entity...

This is from 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(d). If someone says "please remove me from your list," I believe any reasonable individual should understand that as a request to stop calling.

If they get a request to stop calling, a telemarketer must immediately record the number to the company's do-not-call list and comply with the subscriber's request in a reasonable period of time not exceeding 30 days, and the telemarketer must honor the request for 5 years.

If you want to get technical about it, it doesn't even say the request must be made on a phone call. Presumably, one could make a written request. Perhaps someone could even offer as a public service a way to preemptively send copies of form letters to the addresses of known telemarketers requesting no calls. Someone like the postal service.

I am kind of upset there is no commercial way to test your blood or urine for endocrine disruptors.

>This is an odd claim to make. Regulation has historically required that it be provided in most (American) markets, hence the ample supply. I'm not sure how we could possibly know what the market would do on its own over the long term.

Sure we can. Those regulations are not always binding. Buildings are built with parking capacity in excess of minimums all the time.

>Requiring excessive parking will artificially and needlessly raises prices, true. But I would also be at least somewhat concerned that without sufficient regulation short term thinking on the part of builders might result in less parking than would be generally desirable.

Why? What's the market failure? For that matter, why is there a "general desire" for the quantity of at-home parking I individually consume?

>I'm not at all convinced that urban planning should be done by market forces alone.

That's a strawman — removing parking requirements is a far cry from "market forces alone" doing urban planning. (It is, however, a great example of how non-market forces can create worse, environmentally inefficient, undesirable outcomes by submitting what should be private choices to mob rule.)

As a 1099 consultant:

* You pay 7.65% more in medicare taxes
* You are probably eligible for the new (as of 2018) 20% pass through deduction
* You can possibly deduct expenses (hardware, software, home office, mileage)
* No paid vacation/sick days/holidays (this is often around 4 weeks worth of time a year)

Finally you really have to look hard at the benefits you are missing out on. For instance, health insurance can be very expensive out of pocket. 401k matching is the other big thing you may miss out on.

Also look at how you are billing. If hourly, you may find you can't honestly bill more than 6 hours of work a day. Compare that to salary which often assumes 8 hour work days regardless of work performed. This can be worked around if you bill a day rate instead.

From real life: China's one child policy.

From fiction: Dissuading the birth of more than one child, by curbing any benefits heavily (such as maternity leave) or increasing taxes on family homes with more than 3 occupants etc;

there are many ways to dissuade people from having children, and we /do/ have declining birth rates in most of the developed world because of that.

But, if you listen to my nationalistic friends/family, they believe that "[they] shouldn't have to give up having so many children unless $_country also does"

So anything like that needs to be a bit more global, otherwise we have overpopulation in some areas which could lead to a requirement to spread and consume resources from less populated areas, which would potentially have the effect of wiping out nationalities. (hypothetically)
"Confesses"? I'm not a fan of everything Twitter does, but this headline is so biased. I'm actually angry now. Twitter is "disclosing" these on their own, afaik, and I take that as a morally good thing. Also, it's a bug, not intended behavior in the first place. So if I understand this whole thing correctly, they never had to tell anyone they fixed these bugs, but they did anyway and people are still writing articles trying to drum up anger at Twitter for it. Please.
I don't know why you're getting down voted but this is exactly what I was about to post. It's a piece to hire IBM's X-force. I can understand if these where spotted in the wild.

I think most people can intuitively understand the observed behavior by thinking about the process as if the two particles had been "pre-programmed" to correlate with each other at the time of entanglement. With that explanation, things seem pretty mundane, then it can be explained that even though the behavior appears like the particles have been pre-programmed, the nitty gritty of Bell's Theorem shows us that this isn't the case, and that's why it is so fascinating to scientists.
Here’s a crazy idea: let the property owner and developer decide the correct amount of parking to provide. And the size of the apartments. And the number of floors to build.

The regulations here should be based around things like structural integrity, egress, and safety. Not views, not density, not what size of apartment is “too big” or “too small.” All of those are things the market can sort out.
Plus, use Windows' Protected Storage Subsystem (which has been around forever) to at least lock the tokens to a specific Windows account/user. No need for a machine-wide readable file even if the tokens were signed and encrypted.
Right but you don't need to be fat to get any of them. They are just 'associated' with it. As in they are diseases that are more likely to impact fat people.
Lost in this can be the specifics of "parking". Put in lots of 3-5 minute zones for ride hailing, add 10-15 minute spots for deliveries. Make sure there are enforced truck parking only for restaurant and business deliveries. Car share only parking. Scooter and bike parking. etc.

And yes, if I want full time parking for my car I will pay for it. It's not that expensive if that's my priority.

These are generally the kind of parking configs that most city people would benefit from.
Even if you remove the massive long tail for a second, there's huge opportunity in the enterprise. I've never really met a marketing team satisfied with the speed in which they're able to create, edit, and deploy changes. A bit hyperbolic of course, but there's definitely room in the market.

> For macOS for example, all resources (including ASAR files) are signed, and macOS makes it intentionally difficult to install anything that isn't signed.

I just tried this with Slack on macOS, and it launched without a single complaint about code signing. It would appear that either the ASAR files are not included in the signature, or the OS doesn't check the entire application bundle on every launch.

(Edit: That said, I needed sudo to do the mod in the first place, so I'm not about to start panicking about this as an attack vector.)

(Edit 2: As 'marshallofsound pointed out below and elsewhere, it is the latter case; the OS doesn't check the entire bundle on every launch. Which makes sense, and also means TFA is not really about Electron at all.)
Electron developer here. I work on this project:

https://getpolarized.io/

We ship binaries for MacOS, Linux and Windows. ALL our binaries are signed. You're INSANE if you don't do it. It's still a MAJOR pain though and wish it was a lot easier.

If ANYTHING what we need to do is make it easier for MacOS and Windows developers to ship code signed binaries.

It took me about 2-3 weeks of time to actually get them shipped. Code signing is an very difficult to setup and while Electron tries to make it easy it's still rather frustrating.

The biggest threat to Electron is the configuration of the app and permissions like disabling web security. If you're making silly decisions you might be able to get Electron to do privilege escalation.
