I studied Japanese for 10 years from Primary School until end of high school.

I can remember when we watched television in class there would be no subtitles. The teacher would pause the video every 2 minutes or so and then ask someone in the class to explain what had just happened during those 2 minutes.

Usually it would be stuff like a news broadcast or similar the teacher had taped from Japanese tv broadcast.

You could mostly translate things because they were talking about relatively mundane concepts which were similar to what we had been learning. "That clip was about the opening of a railway station in this prefecture etc."

I can remember one lesson the teacher played Mononoke Hime in class, this was a pretty big anime movie which had just come out at the time it was full of references to Japanese mythology and folklore, no one is class had any idea what was going on in the story because it was full of language we'd never heard before.

The other thing is that anime tends to use a lot of informal language, which differed a lot to the more formal speech we learnt in class. So I suspect it would be very difficult to learn Japanese from Anime alone.
One problem with this is that it’s a combination keystroke involving two special keys and tab. That is bad for your fingers especially if it something like tab switch that you use a lot.

With Cmd-[] you just use total two keys which are easy with two hands.
Anecdata: I spent 5 weeks in Spain in 2009 and 2 weeks in Spain 2019. I can tell you for sure that people who work in customer-facing industries speak MUCH more and better English now than they did 10 years ago.

Until the police are looking for evidence to confirm it was you, and they pull footage of you getting home and walking into your "secure room" 5 minutes before the supposed activity started and exiting the room 5 seconds after it stopped. No warrant required of course.

[Disclaimer: I work at Cliqz]

I hate to answer this one, becasue it looks too much marketing-speech but this feature exists. Not on beta.cliqz.com but on the drop-down search on Cliqz browser.

Based on the tabs you have opened, different query expansions are selected. For instance as you type "hotel in ma..." probably would show you results for Mallorca, but if you have "Madrid" on a tab, then it will show results for "hotel in madrid".

There will be a blog post about this contextual search because it's our showcase that is possible to do personalization without compromising privacy. All this is done privately, the browser receives results for multiple expansions and can chose which one to display based on local information. We never track or collect sessions of users.
As mentioned in the original post, I don’t want to install additional software. If I was open to that Karabiner would be perfect. Thanks!
Completely on point. I've heard this from our users at Standups, that async lets them have the time to think and note down what to say, and don't come unprepared to a live/sync daily update meeting, for example.

Seems apropos.
I've not used them. YMMV. But they seem to match your description.
Far more than 20% of people around you are carrying a cell phone.
I would say that anything harder is not beyond the ask.

It is just that our word list is now bigger, meanings have split, and we often use the newer words.

We can still say and ask the same things with the old words, but the extra vocabulary makes for richer discourse; and we're now more used to those choices.

In a situation where brevity and clarity is necessary (e.g. dangerous environments, modern warfare), the language quickly strips itself to its core - without having to think about it. Even "mind the gap".
I think that's a bit unnecessarily tin-foil-hat. If they didn't put in the 8 second css rule it would just show blank for those users right? So adding that rule is making it work at all instead which doesn't sound like "there to punish them".
Where I live, we have a charge called "care and control of a vehicle" which I think should be applied to both drunk and distracted driving.

We do have "driving while intoxicated" (which covers alcohol and drugs - controlled, illicit or medical) and "distracted driving" (which covers everything from lighting a cigarette to adjusting your radio, to talking on your phone, to turning around to high-five the passenger in the back seat).

I'm not recommending removing those charges. I'm advocating that the charges should be made stiffer by adding "care and control of a vehicle" on top of the dwi or distracted driving charges.

That way, there are more points taken off your license, and it gets even more expensive to deal with in court (or jail, as the case may be). The tools are there for us, but we don't use them as effectively as we could.
I'm pro-security-awareness.

Sometimes it is convenient to have an internet-connected device that knows all of your preferences. You'll get better answers to your queries that way, and they'll be more personalized to you. That's ok, and I don't think it's something that should be completely rejected.

Google has been personalizing search for years, and that's ok too, because it probably is better for most users. But users also need to know about DDG and private browsing, so they can see unbiased results when they want.

> If you could have Alexa that doesn't listen to everything you say and offers the same service without the analytics, treating every request as a blank slate, wouldn't that be better in every possible way?

It would be worse in almost all ways except privacy. There's an expectation that when I ask for the weather, I mean at my current location. Or if I ask for sports scores, it knows what teams I care about. And most importantly, it should learn and get smarter over time, which you couldn't do with the type of device you propose.

I'd personally rather have areas with absolutely no devices and areas that are essentially public. I can see how some people would want a middle-ground with listening devices but with more privacy than Alexa. That might be possible, but if that's my concern, I'd rather just not have the microphone in the room at all. I think the market for privacy-vetted always-on microphones is small.
Wow, just wow. I've been working with Odoo for a couple of years now and it's been a frustrating experience because it's documentation suck badly and it's really freakin hard to get relevant answers from DuckDuckGo or Google when stuck. I tried out a search now on Cliqz and can't believe how good and relevant the result was. Could be a lucky shot, but I'm definitly gonna try this out more. Great work guys! :)
Like yacy? https://yacy.net/

Tried many times to use it but since it was a resource hungry java application that required me to use the web through a http proxy to contribute it wasn't really useable for me at any time. Also the search results were mostly garbage for me.
Except it's not evidence of that at all. It's only evidence that this particular location services user didn't attempt to inhibit the indicator.

There can just as well be existing location services users, currently using location services without your knowledge, when you're relying on a flashing widget on the screen as your source of truth.
> How would that help people whose devices were stolen?

Remote unlocking won't help people whose devices are stolen either. Worse, recyclers would have very little incentive to help because they paid for the device.

> What would be the "backdoor" of allowing recyclers to prompt users to remotely unlock or authorize apple to issue a signed unlocking code for that particular device?

You'd need to store the encryption key somewhere and make it available for remote use. This is scary enough IMHO.

> it seems like many recyclers and refurbishers do attempt to educate users that devices should be unlocked.

This is not about user education. Recyclers should not accept locked devices in the first place.

> They elected the leaders who allowed it

I used to think that voting was useless, and I never voted until I was about 40 years old. This is the thing that made me change my mind. If I were to meet a victim of the torture program, could I tell them I'm blameless? The candidates I vote for will never get elected, but at least I actively dissociated myself from the worst ones.
Our laws will never catch up; those devices watch lawmakers too.

I can imagine a late afternoon meeting in a lawmaker's office. The lobbyist shows the lawmaker almost his entire day, to demonstrate the "benefit" to the lawmaker, from when he leaves his DC apartment in the morning, to his one hour stay at the No-Tell-Mo-Tell, to the video of him being slapped on the back as he pockets another lobbyist's cash.

You certainly can - I have. We moved to downtown Seattle and sold both of our cars. Almost everything is available within a few blocks of walking, I bike commute to the office and can take bus/light rail to most places we need to go. About once a month we rent a car for a day to do further out errands - there are many options for this downtown - ShareNow, Zipcar, Avis etc. It typically costs < $200/mo including insurance etc.

This tidbit is particularly infuriating:

> In California, the problem is, in two words, Tutor-Perini. This contractor underbids and then does shoddy work requiring change orders, litigated to the maximum. Ron Tutor’s dishonesty is well-known and goes back decades: in 1992 Los Angeles’s then-mayor Tom Bradley called him the change order king. And yet, he keeps getting contracts, all of which have large cost overruns, going over the amount the state or city would have paid had it awarded the contract to the second lowest bidder. In San Francisco, cost overrun battles involving Tutor-Perini led to a 40% cost overrun. This process repeated for high-speed rail: Tutor submitted lowest but technically worst bid, got the contract as price was weighted too high, and then demanded expensive changes. It speaks to California’s poor oversight of contractors that Tutor remains a contractor in good standing and has not been prosecuted for fraud.

If your competitors didn’t have to do that either there would be pressure on prices and a new price would be set by demand/supply.

It's still, quite plainly, ridiculous that they shipped a "phone" which could not (yet) make telephone calls. Even if they fixed the issue in a later software release, the fact remains that they shipped a product in an incomplete, partially unusable state.

Yes, that was one path on the diagnostic flowchart that the sadly-absent answer would have progressed.

The other path is for certain users who have shut off various TLS options after encountering a “security” guide. Those users also often end up with TLS 1.3 disabled, because those security guides are rarely competent.

No... that's not a good explanation. While it is true they're salaried, there are plenty of professions that bill by the hour for the time of salaried employees. How you bill doesn't need to match how you pay salaries. It could also be billed per day of work regardless of the number of hours and the issues mentioned above would still be pertinent.

There's a difference.

When I use a service from Google, I expect that my data will be parsed by Google. And I can decide if I trust Google or not.

But Firefox sending the urls I visit to a third party (Cliqz) silently and without permission is shady and deceptive.

And then, after all this, Cliqz claims that it's a company built on privacy... sheesh.
> In general, drivers act with the knowledge that if they even tap a pedestrian, they're likely to severely injure or kill them. They might be sloppy or distracted, but they almost never willfully do this.

In my experience as a cyclist and pedestrian, many drivers don't seem to act with the knowledge that if they even tap a pedestrian or cyclist that they'll severely injure or kill them. Many drivers do similar things to what you describe cyclists as doing. Ultimately the percentage of jerks among drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians is about the same.

> (P.S. Have you really seen a bicyclist getting a ticket in NYC? Never seen that in my life. Wow!)

Isn't NYC famous for ticketing cyclists? E.g., for not riding in the bike lane? (Which isn't illegal by the way.) I don't know specifically about the claim previously made but it seems plausible to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzE-IMaegzQ

I live in Austin and as a cyclist I've gone through bike stop sign enforcement twice (getting a ticket neither time). My guess is that the same thing happens regularly in NYC, but you're not paying attention for such things.

I understood this was about finding a cycle in a linked list. I wish I could understand the code part. But the writing part was pretty brilliant.

On another note, I only wish my technical interviews were so simple. People talk about weeding out those who can’t program but finding a cycle in a linked list is a prerequisite to the prerequisite for passing the google interview questions I was expected to do in 45 min at the whiteboard.
In Bayes' formula, the absolute probability of the observed outcome does not matter. What matters is the ratio of the observed outcome for a given p to the probability under your prior.

The structure of what might have happened does not affect those ratios. Only what was observed does.

The observation about station costs resonated for me. I've always been startled by the scale and ostentation of Westlake Station [1] in Seattle, which is relatively modern (1990), but feels like it was built in the 20s, it's huge and complicated and serves only two platforms. A practical station design would be a fraction of the size
