Why would uber or lyft do that, because they know the other will do the same ?

It will reduce the number of aviable drivers on each platform, thus pushing their (drivers) price up.
UI Design Case Study – Leyton – Thence UI/UX Design Company
I'm not following those links either. How is p uniformly distributed under H0? If you assume H0 then obtaining a p-value near 0 is going to be damn impossible. Whereas obtaining one similarly close to 0.5 is going to be ridiculously more likely.

Am I severely lacking sleep and going crazy or something? Maybe I should check back in like half a day to see what people have said, I feel like I must be completely confused right now because literally nothing I've read so far makes sense to me.

I believe the GP comment was referring to government surveillance. This is a thing in Europe and GDPR won't protect you from it.

Also, good news for you: Since you live in Europe, the announced switch to DoH with Cloudflare as the default for Firefox users in the US won't affect you.
As far as I understood the OP is that it shouldn't be the default.

If you worry for your government, you should use a VPN anyway (where possible which is the case for UK afaik).
We don't know what Socrates said because it wasn't written down.

He relied on his followers to improve on his ideas and transmit those improved versions, and perhaps they did. However knowledge does get lost (e.g. how to read Cretan Hieroglyphics). It's good to insure against that.

There are advantages to live discussion but it doesn't preclude making occasional records in the form of books. Why not do both?

Contra the article, books do contain knowledge. It's knowledge in the form of 'know that' rather than 'know how to'. Yet if we could somehow obtain science textbooks from the future, we could use those books to recreate advances in knowledge in a much shorter space of time, i.e. we could bridge the gap to know-how. So books do have value beyond entertainment and recording historical facts.

So far I'm using NextDns.io at home, which is DoH and also applies ad-filtering. I haven't heard of any security concerns yet

Then that makes them too much (or exactly like) a taxi outfit, which would not go down too well.
Does anyone know how much money he gets from every book / ebook? I think buying it is, at least for some people, very much a support Snowden thought.
This is an important point, as many times these laws claim to do one thing and end up doing another.

Does this fix a problem? Or does it keep the old problem, just in a new configuration, and add barriers to entry for new participants?
Curl is great piece of software, both libcurl and the CLI.

HTTP is a friggin beast of a protocol, but curl does a good job of balancing features, complexity, structure, scope.

And while I can't speak to the quality of the C code base, from the outside it looks very healthy embracing new features, TLS changes, HTTP/3, etc.
I've bought an Alfa adapter 10+ years ago because you can use them in promiscuous mode. So you can snoop wifi traffic, listen for handshakes and doing so crack WEP/WPA (wifi) encryption.

Won’t this just mean that Uber hires all their drivers, prevents them from driving on another service, waits for Lyft to die and then raise rates?
Yes, Pi-hole works via setting it as a DNS server, which this will bypass by default.

You will have to turn it off manually, in Firefox.

Not a great direction for DNS to be going for things like Pi-hole. If DoH becomes a thing on say smart TVs and gaming consoles, I fear it will be baked in and not configurable. Also going to be annoying on PCs/phones if each individual application is going to get its own DNS config now.

When I played with Ada, my feeling was that it allowed a lot of things to lean on the types, protection is one that gets made a lot of fuss about, but also there's a lot of labour saving. You can size something to the length of something else. You can get the max and min of a type (which are user defined, not tied to byte sizes). You can get an array's bounds. Everything "reflows" if you edit the type definitions. It allows you to be very detailed about what you want, and then let other parts of the program lean on that detail. Types become more than a way to catch mistakes, they become a way to describe your intentions.
Yes, it's trivial. It's also very annoying to the probably 99% of users who don't care about it at all, especially if this becomes just one of many settings that needs to be configured on startup.
Kaist CS492: Design and Analysis of Concurrent Programs
This is weird. I can hardly imagine how can LSD be used to control somebody rather than to free him. Every single time I've taken LSD (or other psychedelics) it felt great. The first time I have taken it I've also experienced sense of beauty and love so deep and extatic I could not previously imagine, another sense I've experienced deeply was how absurd violence, as well as pride and hatred are. It also helped me to realize non-duality and mindfulness so now I fear neither death nor imprisionment, let alone ridiculous verbal manipulations. Nevertheless I haven't became a hippie, I still maintain my hygiene and do my job.

It is also a well-known fact LSD doesn't work the next day you take it and you have to rest for about a weak before you can repeat the trip (but, to be honest, I am to mention I haven't checked this myself).
I love when people simultaneity have ignorant bias and reveal their biases come from complete fiction.

1 not at all people that live in poor countries (have smuggling and intermittent power) are amoral - some of them actually believe in the project of nation building! therefore these cheap handheld detection devices would in fact not "mean nothing".

2 no one accepts cigarettes (or blue jeans or sony walkmen or whatever else your imagine) as payment anywhere outside of out movies. they take local currency or dollar or euro. many smugglers are just as poor as the border patrol they hope to evade so in fact they would be "turned in" for lack of bribe money if caught by one of these devices.

You do not have to point your DNS queries to a US company, this is completely false. You can point your DNS queries at whichever DoH provider you want - you can even run your own DoH provider if you want to.
I absolutely hate Jira, it's slow, everything takes many steps, overall horrible. That said, I recently tried their next-gen product and it's surprisingly really nice. It doesn't have all the features but it's fast and much more intuitive to use, even though it looks basically the same on the surface.

We have used Clubhouse for a couple of years, it's fine but I feel like the UI is getting more cluttered, there is very little reporting, few new features. For months the only news were updated to their referral program. They just introduced iteration support ️

Strongly considering to move to Jira next-gen, looks very promising.
I vaguely remember 10% as a ballpark for most authors
Why is that strange? It seems rather obvious to me why people are reluctant to route all their DNS queries through a for-profit company in a country with no real privacy laws (and one that you have to assume is backdoored by the NSA).
Yes, before we were using clubhouse someone was doing high-level planning in an Excel/Google docs. A few months later and even marketing is starting to use clubhouse and the milestone planning.

I think it really helps to not have 30 different unrelated stories to work on but plan them at an epic level so at least the things you are working on are related.

Even for things that are not really an epic I now tend to group related features together in an epic to make it easier to keep track and plan. (e.g. grouping 10 minor UX improvements together in one Q3 UX fixes epic)

Basically sleep, or lack of sleep, does not affect my recovery from sport.

My ideal work/life balance includes 12 hours' work and 3 hours' sport a day. I'd vary sports rather than have a day off.

For 4 years, when I lived in Melbourne, Australia, my usual weekday routine was:

* Up by 5:30am. Marathon kayaking from 6am to 7am. Cycle to work. Start work at 8am.

* Work til 7pm. Cycle to swim, water polo, or gym (which I did together with my partner). Cycle home.

* Dinner with my partner from 9 to 10:30pm. Work or recreational programming til midnight.

At weekends, I'd try to fit in a 2-3 hour run or marathon kayaking training. My narcolepsy would be much worse after long training sessions (due I think to dehydration and elevated core body temperature) and I'd often fall asleep, sometimes on the floor, for an hour or two.

Over the last few years, now I live in London, I've dropped water polo and am focussing more on flamenco dancing. If work is not too busy, I'll manage to do 2-3 three hour classes a week. If I have time on Saturdays, I'll do 5-6 hours of sport: cycling/kayaking/cycling/water polo/swimming, or flamenco/flamenco/streetdance/streetdance, etc.

Basically, my work/sport/sleep routine is not normal. It works perfectly for me. I definitely don't recommend it to anyone else.
In 2019, it's probably not too out of scope for nearly any business to argue software is a core part of their daily activities. The digital transformation is basically done, if in the last 10 years you didn't turn your company into a quasi-tech company your competitors did and you died.

I'd make the guess that one could go into finer detail on what specific type of software development falls in-line with the daily activities, but software development in general might be too broad. An ecommerce company probably could argue php development is part of its daily development, but if it hired a contractor to modify their build system, that might be outside the scope of their core business.
I'm curious, do you have a source for the claim that uber is profitable in most of the USA? That goes against their disclosed info of huge annual losses.
> You think giving birth is free?

This is a straw man argument. Nobody is suggesting public healthcare is without cost. Civilised societies provide services like policing, fire and rescue, criminal legal defence, and education, because these are deemed rights. The United States is an outlier in not regarding healthcare a right to be supplied as a public service.
> I don't think anyone believes CF will start selling data, that's not what the article argues.

I understand the argument in theory.. but the reality is CF is a more trustworthy DNS provider than basically any consumer ISP in the EU.

Lightning, so all the schools with the classroom cabinet will just have to swap the iPads and not the power supplies. Plus all the accessories still work.
Even if it means that fewer people get the opportunity to to do it at all? I know people who drive for a little extra money while they work other jobs. This kind of flexibility is what might be at risk, excluding many people who need that extra income from ever getting the opportunity.
I installed ClickUp over the weekend to give it a whirl, but it seems like managing sub-projects is difficult. I have multiple projects on the go for each of my clients, and I couldn't figure out how to go more than one level deep.

...and a local HOSTS file.

So now it will, by default, contact all the ad/tracking hosts that you configured to be blocked.

"But now your DNS queries to those ad/tracking hosts are encrypted!"

No. I don't care. I didn't want to connect to those hosts in the first place.
Probably easier to just turn off DoH in Firefox.

In a home LAN configuration, which I'd expect is the vast majority of Pi-hole setups, I don't think you'd really be gaining anything from DoH.

And even if Pi-hole does support being a DoH server, you'd have to configure that in Firefox anyway.
There is no user hcburger1 on HackerNews.
The default setting in Firefox is to use Cloudfare as the DOH provider
The ultrawide lens and night mode are significant in my view, if you don't already have them.
i bet it would be theoretically feasible to take each individual page of a book and perform some chemical process on them such that you join the bottom of a given page with the top of the next one on chemical level, in which case, a book certainly can be a single page. really, all books are just a single conceptual page split at given boundaries to give the impression of structure.
How will this affect using Firefox on an intranet, where there are often services and websites on a local-only DNS server? Will Firefox be unable to reach those sites by default?

A4 is not a worldwide standard (even excepting NA) either, many countries have different. I wasn’t saying US Letter is a universal standard either, quite the opposite.

My point to be very explicitly clear:

there is no universal size of paper around the globe, so saying something isn’t “paper sized” is entirely irrelevant to anyone besides those who share your definition of the size of paper
> It's not so much that the US forgot what antitrust is for, it's that the current powers that be disagree with it

Is there really a difference between those things?
We will look into this...seems like a CDN issue.
I don't see why the first approach is obviously more secure - especially considering the ISP knows your name and address.
I strongly support DoH as it prevents government snooping on the public.
It’s really unhelpful that people like this attack Firefox over this issue.

Stand strong Firefox against this.

> I don't think anyone believes CF will start selling data, that's not what the article argues.

CF is not a private company funded by a foundation with a time until the funding runs out measured in 30-40 years. It is a public company with a small number of customers that provide majority of its revenue.

It simply isn't prudent to say that it won't explore other revenue streams in future and that monetization of data won't be one of those streams.
Why We Sleep is a fantastic book. Everyone should read it.
I started with budgets and categories. Budgets for the money (I had like five budgets) and as many categories as you want. They are basically the same thing. Max one category/budget per transaction.

Tags were added later on by user request. Most users use them to categorize transactions. I don't use them myself. I tried using tags for meta-data like "expensive" or "wasnt worth it" but never bothered to tag everything.
The risk here is the politicisation of the data. There is no reason whatsoever for the PM's office, his advisors, or anybody in any political party to receive detailed information - anonymised or otherwise - about government services.

We have a civil service - this is their job, their responsibilty, and their mandate.

The haste with which Cummings (who has refused to answer questions from parliamentarians about his role in the Vote Leave criminal enterprise) demands this data suggests that this is a cynical grab for data which may be useful in an election or to target ads at Brexit supporting users / businesses.

This is politicisation of civil service data. The Conservative party does not own this data, and should not and must not receive it.

I should have worded that differently: the default is a US company. Which applies to everyone who doesn't change it specifically for Firefox (the vast majority of users).
The damage of this mid-power MOSFET surprises me. Audio circuit is probably consumes just a few tens or hundreds milliamps at most.

Yet it has a drastic crater-like dent in the IC enclosure. That tells me it was a voltage surge or current spike.

The hypothesis of entering a linear region caused by a random software glitch producing an unconscious PWM on a filter slope sounds plausible as well. But that crater-like dent says that the real cause might be way more intensive than that.
I cant count how many times i've had to turn off wifi, or use firefox's offline mode just because of infinite scrolling.

No, the article doesn't conflate anything, the situation isn't comparable to ISO-8859-* at all. Zawgyi is merely a font that renders certain glyphs differently than specified by Unicode.

I gave up on the android tablet ecosystem this year and got a Surface Go when I needed to replace my shield tablet K1. Local suppliers sold the same Android 4 Samsung tablets I had skipped over in favour of the K1 or Amazon's limited Kindle Fire devices.

It wasn't my first choice (I'd have rathered a 7-8" device, and windows application touch support is inconsistent), but the only other option was the iPad Mini and wanted a less locked down device.
My understanding is that the DNS query goes to the closest of the more than 180 Cloudflare servers, not specifically to the US servers. Complete FUD.
Doing updates every few years means half the internet is going to spend 2 of every 3 years complaining "I don't want to buy a years-old device" and asking "should I wait, is there going to be a new one soon?".

Continuous delivery has also shown itself to be a much more reliable way to deliver technology products at all. Compared to shipping 10 new features in a year, shipping 30 new features in 3 years is much more than 3x harder.
Being serious, I don't think waiting 72 hours for a SIM number port is an inconvenience.

IF you lose your phone & SIM inside it, you need to go to the store anyway, or have a new phone sent by post (takes a few days usually). One of these things has to happen! You need a new phone!

So what we are adding here is a 72 hour wait for the number port. In the meantime you have a temporary number.

Govt should legislate to make precautions like this compulsory, or to create incentives for good security like steep fines against the phone company for simjacking, together with private red teams probing phone corp's security in this regard and claiming part of the fine.
Bonus points when that info actually still lives there but is now rendered inaccessible, violating the actual laws their presence is intended to comply with.

E.g. in Germany the impressum (often also called "imprint" in English versions of German websites; a mandatory page listing the physical address, contact information, registration numbers and other legal information, typically linked in the footer) must be easy to find and accessible with no more than two clicks (though this seems to be more of a heuristic than a strict legal definition).

It's literally just "regulation bad!" with no argument backing it up
Especially when the iPad Mini 5 has the A12.
Is there a point you are trying to make? A4 is by definition the size I stated in my comment. The square root of 2 isn’t some universal “perfect size” around the globe for paper. Those who use A* might prefer it, but there is a lot of variation across the globe on what defines “paper” size as “normal”. There’s also folks who use the B* series of sizes for example.
When I lived in San Francisco, there were several ballot propositions roughly along these lines: various corporations or special interests advocating for some measure that was designed to sound reasonable, but whose explicit purpose was to benefit whoever wrote it and was paying to promote it.

At least while I was there, these never passed.

I remember that the San Francisco Bay Guardian (then an alt-weekly newspaper) used to absolutely howl about these propositions. My memory is that the SFBG hated them even more than, say, the anti-gay marriage proposition which passed in 2008. They were quite unequivocal in labeling them as crony capitalism.

Unfortunately, the SFBG has ceased publication; although they still have a website, they appear to basically be dead.
This is where me and the author disagree with you. In most places in Europe there is a complete distrust of US companies and hosting anything on US soil.

Aren't there a bunch of European ISPs applying government enforced DNS blocking?

Seems like this is a very good move for them.
Yes, but they are deficient in many aspects without realizing it. For example, Alzheimers is almost certainly a condition caused by chronic sleep deprivation. The results don't speak for themselves at all. Read Matthew Walkers book and you'll have a better understanding of why we need 8 hours of sleep, and anyone saying otherwise is frankly misinformed.
Well, it's a different law, but IR35 often hinges on whether you're part of the chain of command in the business, and whether you could substitute another qualified person without the agreement of the client.
