It's explicitly stated that it will weaken the security model, but it's not explicitly stated that it will modify user.js. Now the author is claiming that reversing the change would be improper because it involves modifying user.js without explicitly saying so, but that's literally exactly what they did already.

They are not claiming that the problem is being forced to strengthen the security model without explicitly asking. They are claiming that the problem is specifically being forced to modify user.js without explicitly asking.
Did they? I just looked up the documentation for this command, and I have no idea why users would have the expectation that it did this.
To be fair Poland started with that number being over 98% when communism fell.

It's estimated Poland would have to spend >5% of GDP for 20+ years to replace it with nuclear or renewables and it's not a popular idea when you have a populist, global-warming skeptic government and close to 100k people working in coal mining (not that far from 1% of all employed in Poland)

tl;dr; unless there is external pressure & funding it's not changing.
that does seem to be the problem for many of these protestors. they have to quit to be not complicit!
I would argue its actually kind of fun to speculate, but fair enough.
Mostly because Q1 was a terrible quarter. I don't think anyone should be comparing anything vs Q1 2019, especially if you're considering global numbers. (We have to make due with German numbers, because M3 didn't exist there until Q1)

--------

Q2 global deliveries were only up 5% from Q4 2018, and that's after launching Model 3 sales in China and Europe. Worse yet: Q2 2019 revenue is flat lined (compared to Q4 2018) because Tesla had so many discounts going on.

$6.32 Billion Revenue in Q4 2018, $6.35 Billion Revenue in Q2 2019. That's 5% more cars sold but only 0.5% more revenue, after expanding to new markets.

---------

In any case, German numbers seem to have flatlined. So Tesla isn't going to be relying on Germany sales to boost its numbers. Its all about China and Canada sales at this point.
> But even then, subtracting a lossless original will leave funky-sounding audio compression artifacts, a "ghost" of the song left behind.

But 1. that's not YouTube's problem, and 2. most content-creators would prefer a segment of weird artefacted audio to their video being demonetized.
According to the blog post, the effect remains when company size is taken into account.
Clever how you use the phrase these guys to underscore your belief that what they're doing is a good thing. I, on the other hand, agree with the other commenter that "it sounds like a terrible world honestly", and I have a negative view of this startup. I would probably something formal to describe the people working there, just like I would people working at Elsevier.
In Texas, you receive a mandatory suspension for refusing just a breathalyzer, even if you are found to not be over the legal limit, or are never convicted of a DWI. Blood tests are then often obtained via warrant (and it's typical to have a judge "on call" to sign and fax those orders on demand)
And this is why you pack heat when you're camping/hunting/fishing/hiking/whatevering in remote areas where carnivorous animals large enough to eat humans are known to be. They might not do it often but it's not rare enough to totally discount. If you have kids with you the pool of animals that may consider you a food source is much lower. You can get a HiPoint for like $100ish. That's cheaper than a lot of other gear.
Because LISP (in general, in fact every dialect has its own flaws and candies and there still is space for improvement) is an almost-perfect language. It has just one flaw - it's unreadable without rainbow parentheses.
> But it will color the bubble green. And that's why they get locked out.

You seem to be attaching too much significance to the color. It really is because the experience sucks over SMS. The annoyance with the green color is just a symbol of that frustration. I implore you, to try having a meaningful group chat with a mix of users. Having just one Android user instantly degrades the experience for everyone involved.

> Unlike Whatsapp, Messages doesn't require that every participant has Messages, nor that they have an iPhone. Messages will send each and every group message to every Android user in the group using SMS.

Messages isn't the problem. Group SMS is.

You are forced into transitioning out of a group chat model, to a broadcast SMS one. All the usual issues apply - increased delays/out of order messages, no read receipts, Android phones randomly creating multiple smaller groups or just shitting out completely.. Any semblance of real-time destroyed.
Correct: fair use is a defense. Like "self-defense" or "coercion" are defenses in assault cases.
Fundamentally, Firefox is forcing the addon vendor to overwrite the users.js file without the users permission. What's more, these users only got this overwrite by explicitly allowing it.

So on one hand the reviewer is saying modifying the users.js setting without explicitly saying what it does, even though it required a separate process, was a bad thing to do. And their way of rectifying that is to do the same thing, only this time without any user interaction.
That would be very impractical in the real world. How would you prove that 99% of the suits would be thrown out without having 100 trials?

Thanks for your reply and engaging in this sort of discourse. I agree with all of your points, and also feel that technology in this area can help in conjunction with other indicators and tests to determine dangerously impaired driving. Any improvement over the existing testing methodology and legislation where some blood concentration possibly present from the week prior serves as enough for a felony conviction seems well warranted!
When racism and sexism are so disproportionately embraced by conservatives (e.g what views are espoused by white supremacists or proud boys or <insert recent alt-right mass shooter here>?) you must ask yourself what's _really_ detrimental to the conversation here.

> We're talking on an article where an employee interpreted _silence_ as racism! There is a valid point that (non-bigoted) conservative opinions are being silenced.

If you see a coworker being harassed and you do nothing, that's bad. Even if it doesn't make you a racist, if you see something and don't speak up you demonstrate lack of caring about your coworker. It's valid to point that out, is it not? How is pointing that out silencing conservative opinion?

It's not on people at work to be nice to you if your views are hurtful to those around you. The onus is on you to find out why most of the conscientious and smart people around you find your behavior and/or views abhorrent.
I feel like vim browsing is better off with a browser designed for it like luakit, and that's coming from someone who uses vimium and tridactyl.

They both get in the way as often as they help. Mirrors my experience with vim-mode plugins for non-vim IDEs/editors too.

While this is partly true (but not 100% accurate, you do save fuel when you reduce power) that doesn't change the fact that EDF does indeed use nuclear to pilot the power supply and that would work even with no European network to buy the surplus (they would make a little less money indeed, but that wouldn't change their business model at all).
I guess they are a regulatory requirement because all of the modern aircraft have to request special conditions form FAA and EASA to justify why they do not comply with these requirements.

For example for the Airbus A350;:

> The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These proposed special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

Quite a claim to make, have extraordinary evidence that this would be the outcome?
Thank you for commenting about it.

There are _always_ bugs in software. Your assertion that it's pure fantasy to pivot from the flight entertainment system goes against there near infinite space of sidechannel attacks and demonstrated attacks on even airgapped systems; it's almost a law of physics that you are wrong.

The "self promotion" angle was brought up last time this was discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20657965 and it's an obviously pointless rebuttal.

In the Viniyoga tradition of Krishnamacharya and Desikachar, yoga poses/exercises (asana) are used to prepare the body for meditation. The meditation is a process of exercises while focusing on an object. The object could be gross, such as a mountain, or subtle such as a concept. The teacher chooses the object for the student.
There's a big difference between coming up with technology and its applications. Mathematicians and computer scientists (rightfully so) can't anticipate many of the applications of their products which can include weaponisation. The sad truth is that because almost every piece of tech is buggy it can be exploited in some unwanted way by others including governments. We should focus on the people who are applying and coming up with products (politicians, shareholders, etc) instead of preventing innovation. I would find it more interesting to have some kind of expiration date on software on which a software developer could reasonably be accountable for than to go in the realm of morality.
They're more like the same airframe (fuselage, wings, undercarriage) with different fit an finish. Like different interior and possibly engines. The entertainment system is basically an add-on, it's separated both because it's not there in every configuration of the plane and also because it's supposed to be separated in order to be 100% sure that any failure there will not impact critical systems (like a short circuit, or an exploit). How exactly Boeing ensures this separation is another topic.
Let's say we're creating an array of strings separated by newlines obtained from reading a file. Call this arr[n] where n is determined at runtime.

Now let's have String index(arr:int[], i:(Fin(arr):int)), where FinInt(arr) is a dependent type that is an integer between zero and the length of the array. As the code is compiling, we have this

int i = 24951;
String str = index(f, i);

The file exists in the future after the compilation. If the future file has at least 24951+1 lines, then the compiler can verify that i < n and that i is correctly typed. But if the file is short, then the type of i is incorrect. So at compile-type the type of i is indeterminate.
I don't think anyone is pretending that 3D modeling and the like are able to be made simple just by UI changes: any proper craft requires practice and perhaps combined with some innate knack for the discipline.

But with computer applications, I think it is pretty fair to say that there are certain expectations of behaviors for applications (or groups of applications) across various OSes which correlates to the intuitiveness of the application itself. Vim and the like are powerful tools, but if someone feels like they're battling it from the onset (or still after a few hours), they may be discouraged from continuing to try and use it and stick with something more akin to what they're used to like edit or nano or something else entirely.

As such, the artificial barrier to entry of an obtuse UI and mannerisms (for one, iirc, Blender has/had an opposite behavior for mouse buttons) may've kept some people from using that otherwise would've been inclined to do so. Now it becomes a case of whether they can get over the learning curve of the subject matter itself which, who knows, time will tell I suppose. But at least now, presumably, the application itself won't be the thing that prevents them from digging deeper.
I can't tell if you're trying to make a joke or make a serious point. If you want to believe you're a brain in a vat, that's your choice.

If in practice you accept that other people exist, then you should also recognize that their experiences are probably going to be different from your own.

They are underrepresented in business, HR, and legal. AAs are underrepresented in any position that normally requires a degree.

A lot of defensive answers to obvious questions. The slogan may be completely positive in its inception, but I'd wager it's catching on for deeply negative sentiments.

Similar to Midwestern right-wingers referring to people from California as "Foreigners".
People are all full of foresight until their foresight doesn't work. Which is most of the time when working at the cutting edge of Tech. That's when companies crash and burn. Intel has not, despite missing the boat on big calls almost 10 to 15 times now. What does that say about Intel? People think missing the call is a sign of bad management.

Bad management is when your company evaporates because you make one bad call.

Management gets points for surviving and then fighting back despite being wrong. And when you look at Intel's history, there are few companies on the planet who have managed to do that multiple times. They have a good mix of people who know what they are doing technically AND people who do whatever it takes to keep the company from sinking when those bad technical calls happen.

If Nvidia survives whatever their next bad call maybe expect them to start looking more and more like Intel.
I've been pointing out for a while that animals that are fully capable of hunting and eating reindeer and moose are also fully capable of hunting and eating humans.

To which people answer that the wolf is afraid of humans.

AFAIK this misses the point as the reason why wolves shun people is because they instinctively know we are going to hurt them.

i expect more attacks on people unless action is taken to keep wolves scared of people. By that I don't necesarily mean kllling wolves but ratheruse pepper spray, elctro shock etc etc.
> It’s easy for the police to keep ranks. It’s easy for people in other countries to ignore it. But if the people can start a shooting war, even they can’t win it, that changes the situation completely.

What a confused, surreal train of though made you say that? Regular citizens with guns vs. one of the biggest armies in the world, which can reach them by ground and setup an endless supply chain while simultaneously blockading Hong Kong. That's just forfeiting whatever international political capital you have earned and trading it for misery.

Nothing would please more China than having those civilian protesters plausibly described as a military group.
It seems to me that the benefits of tabs tend to are reduced as storage becomes cheaper, as text editors get more powerful, and as various other tools becomes smarter.

So people sticking with tabs are more typically "old-school" and stubborn in all their approaches. And that can explain the pay difference.

If I was starting out fresh, I'd probably try and check out some of the guides that services like stripe and github have for interacting with their own api's if you'd like some real world experience.

Here some links:

There was a recent publication that modeled combined agriculture and solar photovoltaic farms, and found that less than 1% of current cropland would be needed to supply current world demand for energy:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-47803-3

And the rate of converting agricultural land to other uses is about 1% per decade, at least here in the US, so it's a tiny amount of land.

The stable income for farmers is also a big win, too. Economically, this all makes sense. We just need execution, and education about the tradeoffs for something like this.

There are also very tough plastic liners you can put between the tire and the inner tube.

Yeah, this article celebrates the closure of coal, which is great because coal is super dirty, but it's tallying up all the carbon emissions they put out as if that annual emission has been eliminated. That's super misleading given that much of the demand is taken up by natural gas. I'd rather hear about the net reduction; that'd be a better indicator of progress.
SF Bay Area still has a fundamental problem with a decades long backlog in building new housing supply. Until the fundamentals are solved prices will continue to closely track the max capability of normal working class people to pay for existing supply.

You can argue for or against `fixamo` as a command, but Mozilla's position seems to be that even documenting the ability to turn off restrictedDomains anywhere is not allowed.

Among other things they're asking the author to censor the command from his personal dotfile. That's not justifiable and makes me really disappointed in Mozilla.

Right, I've had a look at the case you mentioned and it so happens that it has nothing to do with expectation of privacy in public places, but is about covert police wiretapping of phone lines and of private premises, and acceptability of evidence in court.

In fact, the paragraph you quoted previously is immediately followed by the following (which you left out by mistake, I'm sure):

> A person who walks down the street will, inevitably, be visible to any member of the public who is also present. Monitoring by technological means of the same public scene (for example, a security guard viewing through closed-circuit television) is of a similar character.

I.e. video surveillance of public space is fair game. The issue is with permanent record and automated processing (as per the case right after the excerpt above), which is not too different from what I have been saying.

It's different in that at Netflix the equity comes in the form of non-transferrable 10-year options which do not trade on any market. Furthermore, the option premium is estimated by Netflix at fixed at a constant value, rather than being set by a market.
