You can still set 1.1.1.1 as your DNS resolve in your DHCP server if you want to trust your ISP.

If enough people switch to DoH (as would be needed for DoH by default to have a measurable effect) and the data is even slightly valuable, unscrupulous ISPs could still use SNI, or even just reverse IP lookups to track your movements.
Great explanation, small nitpick: in mathematics, if you leave a person's name uncapitalized it's actually a sign of respect. So we usually use the uncapitalized abelian to refer to groups which commute.

edit: This is done consistently, and I think abelian is one of the few examples. I've never seen it capitalized before, which is why I made this post.
I'm sure as hell not going to trust Cloudflare with my DNS, and I'm especially not going to route all my traffic through them. That company shredded its credibility. Centralization always leads to corruption.
Wow, going after GNOME is such an incredibly stupid thing for a patent troll to do. Once EFF get involved they can kiss their patent good-bye.
Well not quite. It's more like having someone else remove the ads so you're never exposed to them. Which I would say is a little unethical considering the newspaper is free for a reason.

At least there's self-awareness here.
"Figure out how to do this" (aka create a high-level design) is a task, and you should be treat it the same way as you treat implementing a "chunk": estimate the effort it takes, prioritize it, and then work on it. The only wrinkle here is that you should not try to estimate any "chunks" of the implementation until you've finished your initial high-level design - there's no point estimating when you don't know what the "chunks" are. For big systems you may need to iterate on this a couple times to design sub-components of the larger system and create prototypes for systems that are critical to the project but might not work, etc.

Estimation is incremental - sometimes you need to spend some non-trivial effort gathering the information you need before you can estimate the relative effort in building a system.
Language is defined by how it is used.

The fact that this is how people use these words, makes it the definition.

Lots of people in the real world know exactly what it means when people say "big 5 tech companies".

You'd have to be extremely obtuse to not know what people mean when they say those words.
Yes it is for small privately owned business with one primary stakeholder. Not giant Softbank funded behemoths.
Does anyone know if you need to get the watch with an active cellular plan to have the auto-911 feature? Or is it like how cell phones without a plan can still call 911?
>The ISP learns about the result regardless right after the domain name has been resolved to an A/AAAA record, when the browser sends the TCP+SYN packet to start HTTPS.

not necesarilly. With HTTPS the ISP will see the IP being connected to, not the domain. Since there can be multiple domains behind a single IP address, the ISP cannot know the exact domain. On the other hand since more and more websites use cloudflare revproxy service, quite often all the ISP will see is one of cloudflare IPs being connected to, whereas Cloudflare will know the exact domain (and URI) your browser is requesting. And Cloudflare will get that information regardless of the way you look up DNS record
Making pointless jabs at somebody dilutes your argument and makes you look like a moron in the eyes of bystanders on the margins of deciding who's right.
I personally think it's good to call out arguments that we disagree with, that are imprecise, or irrelevant.

Not as pressing in this case but elsewhere if you leave those arguments uncriticized it gives those you are arguing against more leverage in the form of things they can point out.

It's important we hold people to high standards
At the very least the company must show damages to sales or something like that.

The whole patent system in general is a massive drag on innovation and the economy. Sure it's supposed to do the opposite, but that the difference between theory and practice.

The way it is now it's harms technological progress with this sort of nonsense.
AFAIK the piratebay block works at more than the DNS level. As in, navigating to the correct IP still gets you blocked.
I'm not sure I quite see the analogy to COMEFROM.

The "problem" with COMEFROM is that at the "target" location (the one control comes from) there is no in-source indication of the control flow transfer. So what looks like linear code turns out to have this unexpected detour to the location of the COMEFROM instruction. This hinders understandability of the code.

"await" in JS doesn't have that problem: there is an explicit control flow operation, in the form of resolving a promise, that eventually transfers control to the location of the "await" call. And even then, it's async from a run-to-completion perspective, so doesn't affect linear code, modulo other await calls. I guess the concern is that you could have linear code that calls a function, which does an "await" and you would effectively have a control flow detour that's hidden from view? In that sense, I guess this is sort of like COMEFROM... At least you have to explicitly opt in (via "async function", or async module) for it to be a problem.

Anyway, a better analogy from my point of view is that async/await is a very limited form of call-with-current-continuation or so. And with generator functions, JS already had that sort of, but without some of the nice ergonomics.
Watch how the sells of the smart watches will grow exponentially after this!
It's also important to understand the physics.

This is just a mirror that keeps the shape of the wave intact, but moving the other way (but still forward in time).

sorry for earlier post, a lot of stuff still hurts.

i'm in poland. my type of manager would be a person who accepts me, gives me clear target and constraints and leaves alone, person who does his job, person who doesn't bullshit me and says the truth if we're in shit or not and realises that we are all on the same boat and we're also waist deep in shit so there is no point in fighting each other.

on 16 IT companies I worked in, there was only 2 such people. that's 12.5%.
shouting and batshit crazy behaviors are normal.

someone here wrote that some things are cultural. a lot of stuff is cultural in poland. its a catholic fundamentalists country. so anyone who solves problems is a problem. people here had no type of french revolution or industrial revolution. basically its feudalism in modern dress.

last guy i worked for was freestyling everything. he had no plan. he told me he uses his imagination and he tells people what he had imagined and they have to do it. i found out about this when i was trying to resolve communication issues that i had with him. he often imagined new stuff and forgot to tell me about it and during code reviews he blamed me for not doing what he wanted me to do. i ditched the guy because he didnt wanted to do anything with that problem. the guy sabotaged himself throught the whole time. sometimes he had some strange outbursts.

there is a lot of such people in poland. a lot of office workplaces are like kindergartens. there's constant chaos. no plan. big ideas but nobody wants to wait. people who want things done asap usually are abusing others, not to mention that they are total morons cause abusing people takes time they dont have. most companies are micromanaged.

thing that keeps me going is knowing that, as someone said here, this stuff is cultural and that there are some better places. although after all those companies i'm kinda like a dog from the impound. i dont know how to trust people. word nation is for me the smallest joke possible to say. i'm afraid of polish speaking people.

The thing is, a small business' owner for both of those entities is the same, with aligned interests. And the owner benefits from both being successful.

In the case where he personally owns property leased out to a company that's going to be public: The public investors are cut out of all that rental income. And in the case of WeWork, their regular business isn't actually profitable. Which means this dual business structure would be designed to siphon public investment into Neumann's personal property, as WeWork is forced to continue paying it's leases to Neumann while it continues to just lose money.
Censorship does not apply to "published work" only. You can censor historical facts, like the fact that Mr. X did Y 5 years ago.

Should people be able to find out about that if the information was available digitally? I think so.

I don't see how it's different from: if it's in a book somewhere I have the right to find and read it.

Surely, the amount of effort required to know the facts does not qualify my right to know the facts?
"The company is losing an enormous amount of money and 'has no path to profitability at scale'." - well if there is no path to profitability, how is it still worth 10-15 billion ?

"If you know Dimon’s actual reputation, him getting suckered isn’t surprising. From what I heard back in 2009, Dimon is a mediocrity who essentially got lucky his bank was too slow to get in on the subprime scam in 2006; he then used his bank’s incompetence at getting into the bubble as justification for how prudent he was." - Dimon is the most respected banker and he led JPM to become the largest bank in the western world. Well somehow that is mediocre.

"WeWork ostensibly became more valuable because Son said it was more valuable, and bought shares for higher prices. " - well isn't this how market pricing works.

This sounds worthy of a news story. Get it printed so others know.
If those are still "on the margins of deciding who's right" on such a clear cut case, then they're a lost cause anyway...
I think a fair summary of your comment is "If your management doesn't buy-in to the process, and treats estimates as deadlines, then it won't work." This is true. You need management to be on board for this to work.
At that level of income, clothes are a choice. Simply insulting him about his clothes may not be very helpful, but thinking about the message Neumann is sending with that clothing choice is productive. I'm inferring from the text that that picture is from an investor presentation, though I don't quite know, but if it was, those clothes are rife with meaning. They are as deliberately crafted as any of the words in that presentation were, and you are fully entitled to analyze that and make decisions based on that analysis.
Yeah sure, when you're a 2 persons business making home made shoes in a garage. Not when you're a multi millionaire basically paying your _personal_ real estate loans through investors money. That's an obvious conflict of interests, I don't even know how these kind of companies are allowed to be honest.
Whats worse yet is does GNOME even generate any revenue from Shotwell? If not... this is such a low blow.
The quality of my ISP and coffee shops isn't relevant. I was talking about "peace of mind" when using Cloudflare, not about the alternatives. Even if Cloudflare is the best option, that doesn't automatically mean I can relax about it.

That said...

Coffee shops or other open WiFi APs don't enter into it, since I use my own VPN server when I'm out and about.
I have a very mixed reaction to all the e-cigarette shenanigans.

There's part of me that feels like it's a health corollary to the Jevons Paradox, if you make nicotine delivery potentially less damaging, it would stand to follow you lower the risk barrier and might end up with more nicotine users than you started with.

I'm def not in high school anymore, and maybe for that reason, the messaging I've personally seen from Juul does is entirely different. Literally the only stuff I've seen from Juul in the wild has been,

* "If you weren't already smoking, don't use Juul"
* "we support any effort to raise the minimum age of purchasing nicotine products to 21 (T21 laws)"

I certainly wouldn't be taken aback if this were just one face of a many-faced beast, and with the other hand they were trying to cultivate a new generation of customers.

But it's with a sort of bemused annoyance that the common refrain I've heard from activists and public policy folks ends up converging at "Juul should have never existed." The cynic in me thinks it wonderful if all our problems had the decency to never exist. It just seems aggravating of all issues, the wheels of the machine politic turn so freely for flavored e-cigarettes.

Well, I'm confused. Something seems off.

Evolutionary pressures / adaptations over 8000 years would just as likely make a population less likely to suffer adverse effects from, for example, alcohol. (see sickle cell tradeoffs in malaria-risky areas). This genetic syndrome you reference makes damage from alcohol 4x more likely over time.

We'd expect long-time drinking societies to have higher alcohol tolerance to better avoid adverse effects of drinking.

The "I've got nothing to hide" angle terrifies me.

As one obvious example, LGBT Russians had absolutely nothing to hide, right up until the moment it was outlawed, again. Then suddenly it was extremely easy to identify and persecute.

In a world where we hold people like Willem Arondeus, Sophie Scholl or anyone else involved in hiding or exfiltrating Jews during WW2 a hero, it baffles me that the idea of "nothing to hide" even exists. The fact we've made a modern kinder-transport or even a resistance nearly technologically impossible honestly stops me sleeping.

The whole thing about subprime mortgages and how jp was slow to get in isn't entirely accurate. I mean I guess it could have been the actual reason since there's always a disconnect between management and the ones actually doing the work, but the structured credit team at jp Morgan was acutely aware at the time how the whole cdo business was going out of control. This was because they were also the team who invented the cds and knew the whole cdo business made 0 sense and active chose to refrain. It's documented very well in the book "fools gold" which is a pretty good read.
Might also have needed a higher sample rate.

For battery life concerns, I can see them implementing some of the fall detection logic in hardware as well. For example, a high shock or shaking could trigger the fall-detection software to wake. Although, with the 60-second period, they probably wake the main processor often enough anyway that hardware detection might not save much power.
When you use the internet, your ISP (and some others) can see where you are going. They might sell that info to advertisers, or you might be blocked from accessing some websites depending on your country.

So you don't care about convincing people, that's fine, but just realize that you're doing your own causes no favors by not caring about how you make your arguments.
You presume to tell others how to arrange their priorities? Very well. I will say that you are wrong. It is a fine priority to defend people from unfair jabs and accusations. These attacks damage the quality of our public discourse, which is in bad enough shape already.

You will find no shortage of fair jabs and meaningful accusations to be aired in the matter of WeWork. They are scathing enough on their own. Random sniping about T-shirt quality detracts from the points that matter.
I disagree, they could care less. This has very little to do with what drive teen vice use, the danger/badness is part of the equation. If you take away cigarettes and vaping, they’ll just move on to marijuana or heroin, or maybe glue. Nothing about “what’s healthy” is driving their choice here.

This is my favorite thing. Whenever someone describes something like "Counterfeit Capitalism" or "Crony Capitalism", it's always just describing capitalism.
I think there's a space for a one-stop business services company. Office space with utilities, with the definition of utilities expanded to include Internet access, catering, software licenses, shared IT staff, and such does make sense. I also think, though, it's a new tweak on the office real estate business and not a groundbreaking tech business that needs to be valued the way a tech company would be.

Using your logic: Drugs are dangerous. Your rights being violated, your stuff being taken, and getting thrown in jail are just a few more dangers. If you don't want those things to happen, don't do drugs.

The flaw is that you can't equate natural and artificial dangers. Natural dangers are equal-opportunity dangers. Artificial dangers can be used to oppress people.

Also, avoiding behavior X is not enough to avoid the danger. There's not much evidence that Brett Kavanaugh was ever alone with Christine Blasey-Ford, but he still faced serious danger from her.
While the writer is a irritating in how he presents info, he does have good points. WeWork never looked like a real business to me, I thought the IPO as presented was such a great work of fiction. In the end the "business" is renting office space. It's not worth any more than that. At least Uber and Lyft provide something new (calling taxis from phones, I guess you could think of that as not terribly new) but it did change how people travel in cities. WeWork is basically shared office space but the business is mostly the founders scamming money out of investors.
Yep. Same here. I assume they are working through the waitlist. I'm going to give them a couple days to get it sorted before asking customer support about it.

Well, it's not a matter of whether WeWork is good or bad, it's a matter of what you're comfortable with.

Among the people I know who dislike WeWork, there are two main things that they complain about: the surveillance, and the actual environment.
