Not the implementation on the iPhone or Pixel.
There's this: https://docs.python.org/2/library/2to3.html

But the thing with Babel is that it only adds features to JavaScript, it doesn't translate between two disjoint languages. I'd assume that has an effect on its viability as a project.
Totally agree. I finally went "small" with the Pixel 3 after years of big phones, and the battery life is dismal. I can't see how 2800 is going to keep up with the 90hz refresh rate. If I upgrade I'll probably begrudgingly have to go big again.
Glib perhaps but no sarcasm intended. I do agree that there are use cases where PG loses out to more specialized tools, but that’s the 5%, and if you are in that zone you probably know you are and are likely to be capable of doing your own more robust evaluation.
>Are we really talking about a "flawed algorithm", for example, or simply the encoding of a badly designed government process?

There's a massive difference between people carrying out directions and machines carrying out the codification of those same directions. The more rigidly codified the system, the shittier life is for nonstandard cases. Machines are the ultimate rigid system.

Consider how much shittier someone's life is when a corner case happens and there's no one to help you resolve it. E.g https://gazette.com/news/born-in-the-usa-without-a-shred-of-...
As long as it's a proper implementation of a face unlock. When the iPhone X came out, OnePlus was quick to jump on the bandwagon and start advertising their new face unlock, which was completely reliant on the front-facing camera.

You are correct -- I haven't checked on Austin in quite a while.

However, my point is you don't have to choose between an expensive, top US tech hub and leaving the states entirely if you want a more chill, laid back, and less expensive lifestyle.

There are like 50 other cities in the US that offer all the amenities of a big city, with chill jobs and without the sky-high COL.
I just tested. With standard settings for "Content Blocking" (under "Privacy and Security") and "Only when Firefox is set to block known trackers" selected, Firefox does not send the DNT header in regular windows. It only sends it in private windows. Therefore if you don't want to stand out, you should not enable DNT.
I can't say either way, but they mention the average person saves even more than they do (90% vs the 60% Amazon saw). This was due to their Oracle license being much cheaper than normal Oracle customers. So if you extrapolate, even if they did get some discount being Amazon, the discount they were getting on Oracle probably makes the savings comparable to if they weren't getting large discounts on each side (regular customers of Amazon/Oracle).
There are a few scenarios, some more pressing than others:

1) Triggering the fingerprint sensor requires an active action, 'touch this sensor', versus Face ID (even with attention-detection enabled). This is important for law-enforcement. It is easier for law enforcement to get you to look at something that it is to compel you to unlock something.

See for instance https://www.wired.com/story/police-unlock-iphone-face-id-leg... Note that some courts have ruled that Face ID should have similar protections as Touch ID, but the issue is far from settled and is likely to end up in court in the future.

2) It's easier in mass-transit and POS scenarios to tap your phone while touching the fingerprint sensor. The flow for Face ID is much more convoluted -- bring the phone near the reader (which may be away from your face) to bring up the payment UI, then bring your phone to your face if the reader is faced away, double-click the home button...

3) During meetings, it's easy to sneak a glance at notifications (if your notifications are set to show only when authenticated) by touching your fingerprint sensor -- there's no need to bring your phone to your face and make it obvious you're checking your phone.

I don't mind Face ID, to be clear. But I always felt Touch ID was more unobtrusive.
Side note: I had no idea track and field was considered a “poor” activity!
I'm curious why you think Face ID beat fingerprint sensors and in what context? Maybe convenience but at a trivial level. Definitely not security, its much easier to hold a phone in front of a person to unlock the device than it is to use a fingerprint.

Even cops can use it to unlock your phone without permission legally[1], but they can't compel you to use your fingerprint on the device.

Of course if you really care about security you won't use either. Historically single factor biometric sensors have historically proven to be weak indicators of identity.

I'm not sure to which meetups you are going, but Meetup.com is just a platform with a great reach. There'll always be corporate sponsored meetups in cities, but if there would be no Meetup.com they'd post it on Twitter or sponsor conferences in the city. I actually like it to check out other offices in the city from time to time and I don't mind the one talk from a person of that company, it's just fair as they provide the venue and food.

Especially if you are coming to a new city it's a great place to find out what's going on and find your group. It's nice to have a centralized place for that and makes it very easy to connect with people. (At least in my experience here in Berlin)
> when it should have been 0-9A-F.

We are working in bits, use bits instead, that will avoid theses kinds of mistakes.

> In what situation would you expect a 1-to-1 of 32-bit prefix to URL?

Oh yeah sorry I misunderstood it, yeah it's pretty unlikely that you would get 1 url for a prefix(but still possible). I would have to get out my old probability books to find that out but it's not worth it, the probability would be way too tiny.

I thought it was about certainty to be able to match it with the real URL. In theory it would takes only a few page hit to be certain of the domain and thus the URL (if there's no unknown string in the URL).
Automated license plate readers spring to mind. The police have been noting license plates forever, automate it and suddenly now you have a database that tracks everyone's movements.

> Rather than sending our most brilliant minds up the income ladder, America is ensuring that the wealthy, no matter their mediocrity, retain their grip on the highest rung

The assumption the author is making is that both things (sending our most brilliant minds up the income ladder AND the wealthy retaining their grip on the highest rung) cannot be true.
Lots of people have given their opinion regarding fingerprint vs facial unlock. But for me, personally, the reason I would be loathe to give up the fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 3 is the fact that I can swipe up or down on it to pull down the notifications on the phone. Since I've got the 3XL, it's just a nice little usability thing that makes it slightly easier to use such a large phone with just one hand.

I'd miss it a lot, and it's one of the reasons I think I'll keep my 3XL for another year instead of upgrading to the Pixel 4.
>One thing I have found about working remotely is that its pretty easy to work 35 hours a week and produce the same output as a full time, in office employee. Less distractions and in-office chitchat, and more working time. In practice this means that you can wake up at 7:30, make a coffee, be online at 8am, and then be free by 3pm

This is highly individual. My company lets me work remote whenever and as much as I want. I still spend the vast majority of my time in the office because I'm far less productive when working from home.

I was so ready to jump into a Pixel (long time iPhone user). I thought on-board voice recognition would be a game changer. This had to be the most lacklustre event I've seen:

- Nothing on video.

- No details on the processor (or most hardware specs).

- Nothing on the forward-facing camera.

- Nothing on battery life.

It honestly felt like Google watched Apple's presentation and then cut 2/3 of what they had planned.

Moreover, and this is purely a marketing-spin thing, the event had no energy. There were some super cool demos, and they were received with pure silence from the crowd. It was very weird.
Moto G7 Power is great -- 5000mAh, and many features which consume less power and happen to be cheaper (lower res, slower clock). Not the latest and greatest but if you're away from power for a long time it's a good compromise.

Mind explaining what an IR picture is?

Facial Unlocking isn't just using image recognition.
Face ID, specifically, using point mapping across a face, creating a 3D map of the face and reference points to unlock the device. I don't think a flat 2D image, even with IR photography, could trick a system like this.

A Hollywood grade prop mask of someone's face might be able to trick it, but that seems like a huge outlier.
F-Droid allows many ways to update without using its main server - from alternative servers to transfer via NFC/wifi. Perhaps traffic shaping can detect typical F-Droid traffic, but a simple IP block won't do.

It should be noted that the email that Steve Yegge made famous was:

1) The birth of the service oriented architecture as a standard at Amazon

2) Took place long before AWS was used by Amazon's commercial business, and most software systems were monolithic, requiring mainframe-like dedicated hardware.

3) Was inspired due to the epic spaghetti monster known as FC Software, whose entire non-architecture revolved around a massive Oracle database.

When Amazon hit the limits of scaling the Oracle databases with beefier hardware, they realized what a clusterfuck they had created. There were literally hundreds of applications, doing different things, but all connected to the oracle database. The oracle database functioned as a database, but also as a high throughput queue, as well as a message passing platform. At high loads, different applications were hitting the same rows so frequently that the transaction errors alone could bring down an entire fulfillment center.

And it should also be noted that it was the same FC Systems (the inspiration for the move towards SOA) that took 12 years to finally get rid of Oracle.

Moral of the story: you need competent software architects, and at the very least, a scalability plan. Also, fuck Oracle.
Yes, I think whoever ends up taking over Python 2 maintenance would be well advised to stub out the https support immediately, and maybe a bit later do the same for all support for network requests.

In particular, you don't want to have to worry about building against openssl.

I think the vast majority of cases where people have a good reason to carry on using Python 2 won't need that.
> Firefox decision makers actively consult the telemetry data when making decisions. If you've disabled telemetry and I haven't then my experiences count double and yours are discarded entirely.

Yours won't count double unless there are only two users, in which case decision makers will likely disregard telemetry data all together.

You're right that the individual's usage pattern isn't directly considered, but for most users that won't matter because their usage patterns aren't uncommon. If you're one of a small group of users that do $weirdThing and that group is so small that your individual telemetry data contributes significantly, a) that group will likely be ignored and b) anonymizing is a problem you may not want to be involved in as a user.

I'm annoyed that I read all the way to the end to find the author's conclusion is that everything in the world today is awful and everyone is pretending it isn't (that we are living a lie and pretending to live in Oz). What tosh. It is doubly annoying because from my perspective the exact opposite is true; that the world has never been better and most people believe things are the worst they've ever been.

I did enjoy reading through and remembering the Oz stories.
Maybe they assumed that you had already read about all of those things from the months of leaks that lead the event.
This is what people far often don't get, the alternatives are almost always much worse. The best we can do is try to fix what we have and try to be better. Naming and shaming like this article is part of that process.

Throwing the baby out with the bath water over a few bad actors has consistently failed and left people far, far worse off. You don't even need to look far back in history to see examples, South American countries were still obsessed with the Bolivarian idea of "capitalism is the root problem" nonsense well into the 2000s... until they ran out of money which masked the unsustainability of their alternative, like we're now seeing in Ecuador and other countries.

The same software can operate in either "mode". Typically there is a gallery of faces, segmented into different categories such as "police", "location staff", "people we like" and "people we don't like" and where not identified as in one or more gallery groups the face record is "general public". Almost any location that cares to use FR will have groups for "staff", "good people" and "bad people", where the "good/bad" designation is not "good/evil" but more like "we care to please these people" and "these people have caused problems in the past". The use of a "general public" "virtual group" is for things like anonymous tracking of how people travel through a location, which is useful for emergency planning and demographics.
So, in general, anytime FR is in use it will attempt to identify items in the view as faces or not faces, and when a face compare against the gallery, if a match is found, report that match along with any groups the face is a member. Also note "when a match is found" that can trigger review of multiple gallery faces for a human to select between or retain as an uncertain match containing multiple gallery hits. The entire process of "what to do when any matches are found" is specific to the purpose of the FR, often specific to a gallery group the match is a member. Not all users of FR use it for "security", some use FR for enhanced hospitality, such as luxury locations use FR to identify high net worth people waiting to be serviced, and public spaces are often interested in FR for emergency planning and demographic modeling throughout different times and seasons. Beyond the security applications, FR can be used in a similar manner as web page cookies, but for physical locations.
I'd say that it's not that shocking that attending a meetup about two enterprise grade deployment tools has a bit of a corporate vibe.
Yes. I'm sure the EPA, currently headed by Andrew Wheeler, a former lobbyist for Murray Energy, known for trying to push back environmental protection laws, would be fairly quick to dismiss any health concerns on a product that a large corporation, with deep lobbying pockets and a track record of doing terrible things to both the environment and farmers that use their products, relies on for hefty profits.

They are outliers, in that they all are in the very narrow path that I suggested is the only reason I would, personally, pursue an MBA: the MBA allowed them to jump from banking to Senior Associate roles at elite PE firms (Carlyle, Blackstone, KKR, Apollo).

It's by no means necessary, you'll find people at those firms without MBAs - a close friend of mine made the jump directly from banking and is well above the salary range I mentioned, but a top tier MBA helps.

It's also worth noting that a majority of compensation from these positions is from the carry on the person's fund (or a blend of all funds, like Blackstone does) and is based on fund performance. This isn't their base or otherwise guaranteed salary.
Yup, if this goes through, we'll need to move all our meetups to email notifications, which will kill virality but given that no-one's going to pay for a meetup, is probably the better solution.

BTW, did you do a traditional in-place upgrade via apt? I've once or twice managed to break boot between Debian releases.. But not since lilo/early grub days.

Sounds like you probably ran into zfs not being in Debian proper - and buster unlocking dmcrypt, but not being able to mount zfs? Should normally be salvageable via booting previous Jessie kernel and initial ram/root disk (initrd).

At any rate, I gather you've moved on - just sound like an unlucky break - even with root on unsupported zfs.

Seems like Motion Sense is not working in some countries, specifically, Japan:

"²Not functional in Japan and may not be functional in other Pixel countries. Motion Sense is functional in the US, Canada, Singapore, Taiwan and most European countries."

"Check that you’re in a country where Motion Sense is approved. Currently, Motion Sense will work in the US, Canada, Singapore, Australia, Taiwan, and most European countries. If you travel to a country where it’s not approved, it won’t work."

What's up with that? Is there any regulation against moving your hands in front of the phone?

The only thing I can think of is the "kind of" mandatory shutter noise when using the camera on Japanese phones, to avoid up-skirt photos and the like. An I say "kind of", because depending on who I've talked to, some say it's a mandatory law, some others say it's a good faith agreement between manufacturers.

Anyway, maybe, if the hand waving stuff is detected using the camera, might be problematic on some countries as in Japan.
