Think of this as another step towards full automation.

This isn't necessarily just a "nice to have" to have your car come to you in the parking lot. This is also potentially to have a semi-truck get itself out of the parking lot one day, or your taxi to show up from a remote stand.
> So rather than be alarmist [..] we should be pushing for changes that make this workable

If, as the author suspects, the intent is to break popular adblockers, I have no interest in trying to make this workable.

Personally, I think this is a typical half-legit move: there's a good intention (security) but it's also hard to believe they did not realize that by pushing these changes, they were going to break several of the most popular extensions available. And, that the direct impact of this would be that for a short moment (at best) many more ads were going to be displayed on Chrome.

I think we've seen a lot of these half legit moves recently (apple battery scandal?). So I'm starting to be more and more suspicious.
Sometimes.

Look at the SLS boondoggle of late: more than $2B per launch. That criminal amount of waste is not their idea. If they had free reign they might choose a more competitive option.

Hey everyone - Seth from Google here. We’re currently investigating this incident and hope to have it resolved soon. Check the status dashboard for more information (https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/cloud-datastore/190...), and I’ll try to answer questions on this thread when I’m off mobile this morning.
coz requires the user to instrument the code. So it's interesting but also much more costly to run experiments with.

I suspect it's cheaper to start with callgring to get an idea of the hot spots in the code base, find the low hanging fruits. Then switch to coz if you really need to squeeze out the last performance juice.
Also same goes for non-Mirrorless Cameras as well!
No they are not, they just frequently devoted their intelligence to being a lawyer, doctor or whatever rather than caring about tech. Any more than they cared about the finer points of their microwave or VHS recorder.

The first Google scam - yes scam - was Adsense and adwords. The search "sponsored" box was a yellow designed to be near indistinguishable from white, and was invisible on many LCD monitors. Adsense and adword links were the same blue IE used for links - because people had been conditioned to believe blue links simply traversed the web.

With hindsight, that's the moment everyone should have lost all trust in Google.
Thanks bitwiser!
I agree that active supporters of Trump are just as valid as any other group like white nationalists, KKK etc, but I disagree with the idea that is implied by your text that a group’s size makes them more valid as a group.

Half the country are not Republican. About half the electorate is. Voter turn out Was about 55%. 46% of the people voted for Trump. So about 25% of the citizens in the country voted for him. Even less currently support him and this is not even counting undocumented immigrants.

None of this should even matter anyhow because the size of the group doesn’t make it okay. I shouldn’t have to invoke Godwin’s law to justify this, but I will at the slightest provocation.
Pretty irresponsible way to frame this story, which is about a drug that has never touched a human patient. Lots of HIV/AIDS drugs or even “cures” have made it much farther than this.

30K is just not enough. Intercepting requests is still possible, just not blocking. Extensions have been already abusing this, of course. It's fiendishly difficult to prevent e.g. corporate users from leaking the whole intranet to SimilarWeb unless you completely disable browser extensions.
Why? Because it actually works and makes things simple instead of causing a giant headache for users? Because it gives users the power to consume software directly from developers, cutting out a third party repo maintainer?
No repro here.

Google knows I land on StackOverflow results so often that SO results appear near the top, if not the #1 result, for terms that often have nothing to do with programming or computers. I was recently looking for an online thesaurus service and Google showed me an SO post about building linguistic/semantic search algorithms. Hmmm.

I was quite comfortable with writing the Fibonacci function. Writing that would have hardly taken me any longer and would not have taught me anything either.

The thing I did learn, and which I think has paid more dividends in my career than knowing the definition of the Fibonacci sequence, is that knowing your tools well can save you time and effort and reduce the amount of your own code you need to maintain and put effort into.
Except that people do, in fact, say things not so far from "Bill Gates is the most generous philanthropist of all time". If you put "most generous philanthropist of all time" into your favourite search engine, I bet you will get a lot of top-N lists and I bet Bill Gates will be in all of them. (Unless they're things like "most generous philanthropists you've never heard of", "most generous female philanthropists", etc.) If I put that exact phrase, in quotation marks, into Google, the result I get up at the top is an article from 2007 (so, well before that interview) making that exact claim. [EDITED to add:] More precisely, it calls him "perhaps the most generous philanthropist of all time".

I don't think it really counts as a humblebrag to say "it's a myth that I'm X" when there are in fact a lot of people saying you're X.

He could, for sure, have gone further out of his way to avoid humblebragging: he could have said something like "I think a lot of people overstate how generous a philanthropist I am". But he was asked, specifically, what the most annoying myth about him was, and all the anti-humblebrag tactics I can think of right now avoid humblebragging by not stating a specific proposition at all -- so they fail to answer the question he was actually asked.

And he could, for sure, have picked something else, maybe something about his time at Microsoft. But these days he's much better known as a philanthropist than as a Microsoft founder or executive, and I bet the things people (truly or falsely) believe about his Microsoft career aren't the things he considers the most annoying myths.

For me, and maybe it's because I did so much travel pre-smartphone and then pre-international data, it's not so much about the lifeline/safety net.

It's more about the ready availability of information--which is more or less important (and available online) depending upon where you are. Trekking in Nepal I'm guessing things aren't as different from 20 years ago as they would be in a random Asian capital where I find having a smartphone makes getting around easier/better compared to even 5 years ago.

The bit about adblockers provides context on why this article is worth my attention. I'm not an extension developer, so "Extension Manifest V3 in Chrome Canary" means nothing to me.

But this:

>The most controversial aspect of the extension manifest v3 is the upcoming changes to the webRequest API. In v3, Google has changed the API so that extensions can only monitor browser connections, but not modify any of the content before it's displayed.

>Instead Google wants developers to use the declarativeNetRequest API, which has the browser, not the extension, strip content or resources from a visited web sites. This API, though, has a limit of 30,000 rules that can be created.

>Unfortunately, this change will break popular ad blockers such as uBlock Origin, which rely on the original functionality of the webRequest API and need more rules than are available in the declarativeNetRequest API.

Is very worrying. So thanks to the submitter.
Google pays on-call engineers extra. Other companies often pay ENOCs in time off. I know a few only compensate IF you’re paged off-hours (e.g. paged at 3am, incident resolves at 6am, you get 3 hours of vacation time).

Even if it counts in picoseconds it’ll take several centuries to roll-over, so these probably aren’t questions you ever need to ask. Though that’s kind of the point: the API and its documentation should highlight the stuff you need to worry about, such as where you get these values from and what they do, and hide everything else that you don’t (internal implementation details).

But that particular API does the opposite. Just typedef-ing that data as an opaque `WordClockTime_t` would go a long way to fixing this, telling API users to ignore how it works internally and enabling automated documentation tools to to locate and list every other API that produces/consumes this particular value. A simple automation-friendly abstraction that would reduce—if not eliminate—the need for additional manually-written documentation. i.e. Put the knowledge in the code and the automation can graph it.

Alas, there’s something about C programming that seems to bring out the worst abstractions in many C programmers… and if they’re being lazy in their API design, they’ll be twice as lazy when it comes to manually documenting it.

I operate a website visited primarily by both unsophisticated users and non-expert but savvy users (the former group being the demographic that exchange emoji-laden meme images on Facebook, and the latter group as the type of people comfortable getting around a phpBB board in the mid-2000s). I've seen a steady decline in AdSense/AdWords ad-revenue from visitors based on ad-impressions despite increasing visitor counts from those two main demographics - the evidence suggests they're using some form of ad-blocker.

True. They won't change their mind. The only signal they will listen to is to stop using Chrome.
How do you get to the conclusion that producers will want to reduce their output?

If anything they will increase it, since the feedback loop that tells them when to cut back is now way slower, and most consumer facing would rather overproduce than lose sales.
As with any incident, it can be stressful. However, it’s not only the SREs that feel that stress. Our comms, support, and developer relations teams also mobilize to help customers as best we can. It’s a team effort across the board.
By the same logic you could use Microsoft Edge, which is now chromium based and effectively a chrome shell.
>I don’t think anyone could be naive enough to believe ads help the open web

I don't think assuming bad faith with absolute certainty is a productive form of debate.

[Edit]: As a matter of fact, I don't believe that advertising is entirely replaceable as a funding mechanism for the open web at this point in time. That doesn't mean we have to accept all its excesses without resistance.

>Most other employers don’t have a near monopoly on the web browser market.

A near monopoly is not a prerequisite for an employee to make a lot of money somewhere else, especially not for someone in a PR role like "advocate".
Maybe. People hire by the hour or salary after an interview, and supposedly vetting the employee to be able to produce an expected amount of work at a reasonable quality, while being sequestered in an office under supervision (usually). A trucker is on the road, and until the latest in GPS tracking and packages with sensors, was pretty much their own person. It would be reasonable to gauge their work performance by the load.
But with the constant OTA updates from Tesla, the software will degrade and turn to mush over the years.
while i absolutely agree about that being a good stack, the ask was for SIMPLE

* Sinatra, is orders of magnitude simpler than Rails

* The command line interface of MySQL is orders of magnitude simpler than PostgreSQL (think "SHOW TABLES" vs. "\dt")

* Installing SQLite is easier than PostgreSQL OR MySQL.

* Cloudflare is completely unnecessary complexity. Yes it's a valuable service, but most webapps will never need it, and it can be added on later.

There are many things that experienced developers come to do without thinking. This doesn't mean they're simple. This usually just means we've memorized how to do the hard bits without worry.

Yes, for sure any implementation is very much about the design subtleties. I did work once on an email spam filter so I have a pretty good idea of the complexities involved in that space, which includes things like some people's spam being other people's ham, people replying to spams, problematic user interfaces and so on.

My point is a more general one: people argue for censorship as the only way to maintain a workable forum, but, I don't believe that, based on my prior experience. I'm not saying it's easy to build a really great spam filter for social forums, but Slashdot proved out a lot of good techniques, and anyway censoring stuff en-masse just creates a different set of problems: social rather than technical.
The game is incomplete. Store items don't have any effect.

And if requests are blocked then content publishers can very easily detect ad-blockers and intentionally degrade the user-experience or add nag screens that aren't part of the usual ad network code. If it's an SPA then it'd be almost impossible to untangle easily when the site's developers can add their "is-adblock-detected?" checks anywhere in their SPA codebase and mess with the UX at-will.

You definitely tended to plan trips, and activities generally, more. It's probably one reason I tend to be more structured around travel than a lot of people I know.

That said, some of it is just doing more self-service planning. We used to use travel agents more--I still use specialized services for some things. And we'd just ask the hotel concierge to arrange a dinner rather than go on Trip Advisor and book a reservation online.

Not exactly. It's an American company not trying to go to market in the EU; why would it invest in legal compliance with European regs? Even were the company to not store any data, there are lots of compliance steps which companies must take to _prove_ they are operating within the law. In these circumstances, it doesn't make sense to work on European compliance.
It can be valuable for us to find an outlet to experience control, to avoid escalating the fantasy of taking control over other human beings.

We're all humans and all terrible to each other, but in short bursts sometimes we can anonymously improve the network by not contributing a negative action to experience control. Good on you for not abusing your female acquaintances with trick tattoos or besmirching someone as a prostitute, but it might feel even better to find a way to avoid needing the fantasy altogether.
