I use Chromium; you can still Netflix. It does, however, require installation of "WideVine", which is an opaque, closed, binary blob. (But you're getting that with Chrome, too, I believe.)

You can also do Netflix in Firefox, through exactly the same mechanism.
I don't necessarily think they purposefully rigged the app, but do you not think the campaign may have gotten extra training or a direct line to Shadow for support questions on how to use the app that other campaigns wouldn't have gotten?

I'm seeing on Twitter that the app interface wasn't very intuitive and officials there were confused on how to use it.
This is my first time hearing of any of these authors besides Knuth, thanks.
It helps explain why we do it. Everybody imagines that it's going to make them rich, because rich is their natural state of being, and they're only poor now because of some external influence. Corporate subsidies (among other things) seem reasonable when you think it's going to create "good jobs" and that you (of course) are destined for one of those.

For people to say, "Turns out that I'm not ever going to be rich, and maybe we ought to work on a system that allows even poor people to live tolerable lives instead" would require a major rewrite of the American character.
When I say "somewhat terrifying" I do genuinely mean "also awesome"!
I tried DCS World last week and gave up after 30 minutes, crashing and accidentally ejecting from the planes.

Will I make it more than an hour with this new game?
To my knowledge Google still hasn't done anything comparable to the worst offenses of Microsoft in its prime. These "tests" don't really help though.
I don’t think anyone’s doing that. No one here would argue, for instance, that animals don’t communicate with each other.

The difference is intent: when we use the term “communicate“, there is an implied intention to convey meaning that simply can’t exist for an inanimate object like a sand dune (as far as we know, anyway).
Companies can't grow faster than the supply of office space, which also has time constraints.
> I have friends who eat out every single meal of every single day.

I have friends who do too but it's not because they don't know how to cook, it's because they don't like to and don't wanna bother and can afford the luxury of having someone else to do it for them.
Is there reason to belive security was the problem as opposed to say just poor scaling?
Do you use any remote backups? What do you do in case of a fire?
That's because each university caters to some business needs.
Top universities form students towards engineering careers because that's what the market requires and expects them to be.

Low rank universities train students to be button pushers in a world of increasingly automated systems. Because that's also what the market needs : people to keep the systems running and run applications updates.

The good thing ? Developing is one of the fairest trade : if you are good, you will manage to find good job and decent money without much struggle.
Aren't you generally supposed to disclose things up front? not after the submarine has launched.
The DNC has a significant amount of influence over the state level party organizations.

There's also plenty of tinfoil hat fodder (some of it very valid) related to how connected the company that developed the app is to certain parts of the national party.
Fighter pilots already have helmet mounted displays to project information to the pilot's eyes. These systems can also cue weapons systems to the direction the pilot is looking.

Yeah - I'm not mathematically inclined enough to understand what would be so funny about the 38x^3 denominator either?

Unless it's something that would cause an error due to memory/register size constraints, or cause the calculator to sit there forever on some of the other larger squares or test values due to 1986 speed of the ALU or whatever is in the calc?

My gut assumption is that it's some mathematics inside joke of some sort...
Start at work if you aren't remote "Hey I'm mesaframe over in department, what department are you in?" in the break room or hall (NEVER the bathroom if you are male, NEVER, please watch Male Restroom Etiquette to learn the ramifications of talking in the bathroom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzO1mCAVyMw )

Or if you stop for coffee some place regularly, eat some place regularly, etc ask someone that serves you regularly how their day is. For years I used White Castle for my socialization. I'd go in every Saturday and Sunday morning and order the same thing and would chat to the employees once I'd established myself as a regular. Similarly some friends and I had a Denny's waitress that we eventually followed to another location and then even to another restaurant chain as we were there so much at night that we became friends with her.

It was super easy to for me to become friendly with a specific individual when I would see them over and over with small exposure doses.
They're not necessarily evil, they're just profiting from something they had no role in creating. The LVT taxes specifically the value of the land as if nothing were on it - therefore it's value that is extrinsically generated by things like educational institutions, public infrastructure, geographic desirability, or... access to high value employers like Amazon(!).

It's worth noting that under this regime, any actions the landlord does take to increase the value of their particular use of the land is theirs to keep. Build a better apartment building that can demand higher rent? All upside is yours. Build a better storefront that entices higher end tenants? All the upside is yours once again. Seems like capitalist justice to me: you're entitled to what you've produced (value of things on the land) and the community is entitled to what it has produced (value of the land itself).
What allows companies to hire faster than cities can grow? The companies still need office space that means more and bigger buildings, it's the same damn problem as housing.

...with one significant difference: communities are generally much more amenable to increased jobs than increased residents. And companies growing fast usually are cool with huge buildings in the city center, which is the one place where cities are generally fine with high density. Getting cities to be okay with, say, low-rise housing developments across the city is a much harder ask. So it really does just come down to zoning and zoning-adjacent concerns (e.g. community input meetings where developments get shot down).
I stopped reading at "paints an image directly onto your retina". This device is basically a miniature DLP laser projector that projects light onto a fancy light gradient stuck to the glass. You are looking at a reflection, nothing is painting your eyeball.
I would love to see some screenshots of this ridiculous app that someone approved for use after consulting their cousin who owns the business.
Some of those weird looks might be that they want your company at lunch occasionally!
When do you fix bugs?
I would say focus on building a solid, functional body vs. say focusing on goals like "how much can I lift?" or "how much do I weigh?" or "how fast can I go?". Those goals, while laudable, can also cause you to break down your body in your quest to achieve them.

An example from literally yesterday. Over the past few months, I struggled with medial knee pain that was limiting my ability to walk up stairs and do other activities (see other list of goals from above). I had a bunch of observations (pain only when going up stairs, pain goes away oddly enough when running up stairs, clicking noise in knee before onset of pain) but I hadn't spent time trying to root cause it.

I had done a bunch of Google searches but to no avail (with scary things like surgery showing up on the list). But then of all things the YouTube algorithm came to the rescue and recommended this: [1]. Turns out it was a weak Gluteus Medius that allowed my femur to rotate medially which in turn caused the kneecap to track in an unnatural way. Once I knew this, I "fixed" it in a day. But it won't stay "fixed" unless I focus on strengthening that muscle.

Figure out what you need to do to provide you with sufficient functional strength, focus on root causing pain and then addressing it. Don't ignore the foundations of your body.

The DNC also declined offers for pen testing their servers in 2016. Where does their misplaced confidence come from?
It doesn’t happen via salary, it happens via stock. Work at a big co over the last decade or so and you’ve seen salary increase at 10% year or so and stock increase much faster. It’s very common for senior engineers in the Bay Area to be earning 175k salary, ~30k bonus, and another 150+ in stock vesting per year. High performers and/or workers at FAANGs do better than that. See levels.fyi for concrete examples.

The whole thing here is stock, which takes a couple years to really stack up, but once it does, you’re making a lot of money.
The people who supposedly made the app are very close to the DNC (https://shadowinc.io/about). I can't even say I'm 100% buying into this theory regarding sabotage; they probably just made an app that wasn't up to the task at hand.
On top of all that, it seemed like Bernie Sanders had the biggest turnout (just from qualitatively observing the number of people in his corner). As it stands, I suspect foul play. I do not have evidence of this, however.
Do you really mean plain old Docker or do you mean Docker Swarm as well?

I think Docker Swarm is necessary in the absence of Kubernetes to ensure that the correct number of replicas are running on your cluster. It would help with automatically spinning up new replicas when a few nodes go down, changing the number of replicas on the fly, etc.
>Microsoft bought $150 million in non-voting stock in Apple as a show of good faith.

Well there was the legal battle going on between the two as well. So you could think of IE, Office, 150M stock was part of the package.
Whoops. Autocorrect typo. "Kitura." (I have "Kimura" in my dictionary).
This is the time when Democrats are most likely to engage in aggressive infighting, and also the worst possible time for them to do so.

Even if you're very spirited in your support for your candidate, it's important to do your best to be accurate and careful in your response to your fellow party members.
Same here. As Italian living in The Netherlands the difference with my everyday meal and the Dutch sandwiches always leaves some awe. Honestly, cooking and eating healthy is not hard, saves money and tastes better.
I love that Firefox exists and Quantum is an amazing step forward, but Firefox still regularly runs away with gigabytes of RAM and hung worker processes. I have no problem with long-lived Chrome sessions but I need to restart Firefox ~daily. It's not bad memories of 10-years ago.
It does make it sound like something first hypothesized at Burning Man. And thanks to the research being described this way, numerous people can misunderstand and go on to tell others about science proving sand dunes can talk to each other.
Regaining Control of Your Smartphone with postmarketOS and Maemo Leste
I'm not sure how it can get stranger. I've had guys come up to the urinal next to me still talking into their ear pieces. It's incredibly rude, bizarre behavior. Their conversation is taking place in an entirely different context, and I think that's where their minds usually are too. So they might not think anything of it when they approach from behind saying something like, "We need to take care of this right now" too loud and too close to your ear.
I think AR is more suited to commercial users than consumers anyway. Google Glass and Microsoft's AR solution seem to be playing out that way.

Anecdotally, the only context I would want information beamed right into my line of sight is in work scenarios. All other scenarios I want technology to be in the background as much as possible.
For consumer products, the cloud makes perfect sense. Scaling, performance and orchestration make it a perfect fit. And who cares about the few things that fall into wrong hands here and there...

Our business, on the other hand, works closely with government agencies, insurance companies and similar institutions, and the cloud is an absolute no-go. All sensitive data on-premise on the intranet. No need for change.

I believe many people are not aware yet, that things in the cloud cannot be controlled, or they consciously accepted that. Many companies won't take this risk.
I've been trying to learn to cook off and on for years now and I get so discouraged all the time because I'm still either overcooking or undercooking something, still not getting the flavors right, not using the right amount of oil despite the recipe's prescription. I can't be alone in feeling that way.
That's interesting that you thought it was older, it's worth taking notes of this.

I agree that the open-source part is the USP for ForwardEmail that we haven't. The thing on our end is that we have already thought about opensourcing a few parts of our service, but if we don't do all, it doesn't matter to do partially.

So instead, we plan to have an audit from an external service to guarantee that what we say and offer is aligned with the respect of our users and privacy. That's the next step :)
Now, software eats the world.

Next, security, privacy, and trust eat the world, and Keybase is in the perfect position.
One click while logged into any Google property will be enough for them to permanently associate this GUID with your (shadow) account, they know it, and they know you know it too
Energy density is a mostly useless metric for grid storage. It's installed in a place where land is cheap so if its bulky who cares? Efficiency and simplicity are the main goals. You want something that doesn't waste much power and doesn't require a huge team of experts to keep running or cost an absolute fortune to install
>you not think the campaign may have gotten extra training or a direct line to Shadow for support questions on how to use the app that other campaigns wouldn't have gotten?

Well other than there is no evidence of that and would that have even helped? My understanding of how the Iowa caucuses work ... what you describe would not advantage anyone. As I understand it the campaigns themselves are not reporting "I got X votes" directly.

I've not been to Iowa but I've been to some caucuses.. what you describe would not advantage anyone in my experience.
I think issues like this belie the fact that the real concern is executing on voter turnout and building alignment between different branches of the party (party leaders, grassroots leaders, primary candidates, old and new voters, etc). I think there is a real chance that exploits or misinformation might swing a district, then a state, then maybe the general election, but if it's still that close after everything that's happened over the past four years, it's not a great look for our future and to the world presently.

I think that also speaks to us engineers and startup founders, that there's not always a technical solution especially when the problem is cultural. I oftentimes go all gopher and dig dig dig into trying to find a technical solution, and it's hard for me to recognize this truth. I think if we all provided cultural solutions to cultural problems, at work and at the voting booth, we'd all be much better off. I'm slowly working towards this direction.
Custom diet method to burn fat, improve your health and to have a sexy shape
Me too. Then a breach happens and someone with a straight face tells you: "we take your privacy very seriously", asking apologies, because the breach used some of your data to push some political campaign or to bother you with spam/extortions because that night you were watching some porn.

Programmers should stop pushing buggy or incomplete software as is, and start releasing software that works. Otherwise upper levels have an excuse to do all this "experience" telemetry, and we all are smart enough to see the consequences of a data breach.
Yes, there is definitely a performance advantage especially on mobile. see for example some benchmarks for brave browser, and also a couple of recent tests for desktop browsers.

Exactly. Digitizing even the caucus voting steps, after what happened in Georgia, the 2016 DNC and all other voting controversies, why they would use an app to manage votes - especially one by “Shadow, sponsored by Acronym” is ... tone deaf.
That's a good point! I'll take note of that, thank you.
Anyone remembers Oktalyzer? It could do 8 tracks in realtime when all other trackers were limited to 4 tracks. It produced a bit lower quality and lower volume audio due to software mixing, and its higher cpu demands made it unsuitable for games, but it was perfectly usable alone even on my A500 back then for making more complex tunes. I miss those days!
Here's some info.

>Linking that browser ID to a personal account is trivial as soon as someone logs in to any Google service.

Wat? You mean to tell me they can identify you if you log into their service?

Am I missing something here? Who cares?
I don't think people are commenting on conspiracy. They're commenting on incompetence.
Firefox isn't too slow, but you might be talking about how Google optimise their sites for Chrome at the expense of Firefox's performance through browser sniffing.
Right. Still waiting for long term studies about the effects of such retinal displays.
I don't think it's just that. I think a lot of it is just a desire for successful results. Once you learn how to do something and it works you don't bother with asking if it's the most efficient way or not. You know it works so you just keep going back to the well. You then spend your energy on figuring out the next thing you don't know.
The reputation originally came from the original Wraith (now Wraith Spire) that you get with the 3600x (the main value add for the X model), the 3700x and 3800x. The Wraith Prism was also apparently pretty good in its first outing on the 2700x, but apparently the 3900x/3950x are a bit much for it to handle gracefully.
That's not marginal, that's damn near 40%, ballpark of 80k USD per year difference. That's close to $100K CAD per year.

And while the current state of play in the US is rather odious, the idea that you'd be less secure or safe in somewhere like NYC or SF is laughable. The only places I've even been accosted on the street were in Melbourne, Australia and Brampton, Ontario. The rhetoric and laws you dread are mostly, or entirely, perception; make no mistake they're a thing, but heavily magnified by a media machine based on getting eyeballs and reactions. Like, the Prairie Provinces are solidly conservative -- AB even took a crack at banning gay marriage a little while back -- and ON managed to vote in yet another Ford.

I'm happy to sit out the Trump years north of the border, but if an offer with another $100K on top of what I'm making now floated my way but required me to be in California, or NYC, or DC, I'd be hard pressed to ignore it.
That's a very pessimistic view of Quebec. PQ/Separatism is irrelevant and last time they were in power they got booted out quickly. It's more likely that Montreal separates from ROQ than Quebec separates from ROC.
Give him a harvard degree, wipe away his past, and throw him in front of an audience. He would be signing off on drone strikes in no time
This is true, but it's also part of what's broken in the poli-tech space -- if you're starting a business there, the connections you have matter much more than your experience and/or competence in application design, UX, operations, etc. You don't get customers by building a better product, you get customers by lining up influential people behind you. So the software products that serve this space tend in general to be pretty underwhelming.

This can be classified as a mutated variation of Enterprise Software Syndrome, the disease that makes enterprise software suck so badly.
The dev company specifically mentions the DNC in their About page. https://shadowinc.io/about
I think woodworking != home improvements.

I would agree that often projects to fix up your home can be more frustrating than satisfying, unless, like you said, you have the right tools and some prior experience.

Building things that sit in your home (furniture) is likely a bit less frustrating & rewarding, even without the perfect tools and experience.
Based on what I've seen in the gym there should absolutely be a disclaimer for deadlifts.
Tax on land value only, excluding improvements. This encourages landowners to build to the limit of marginal construction costs, which benefits both the local economy and tenants.
Great site, but more for severe storm and weather enthusiasts.
Aha, thanks for the explanation, it's just what I was looking for. I thought GDP was more blunt than that.
Indeed. You can give them the answer used in my family "Planned-overs"; where a sufficient quantity is cooked to plan other meals in advance.
Better yet, donate to Brave who doesn't share the same conflict of interest as Mozilla does with Google, as Google is Mozilla's #1 source of income. Best of all you get a browser just as fast, if not faster than Chrome because it's Chrome without all the junk.
I suspect it's more the contrast with the visible aliasing in the textures than the clouds themselves
100% agree - Most likely data interoperation/protocols need to be enforced by government as there is no economic incentive to do so otherwise.
Being weak and overweight is way more dangerous than deadlifts. Muscle mass helps build and maintain bone mass (depending on your age) which avoids broken bones, and osteoporosis later in life. Strong people get injured less and recover faster from injuries.

Yes, there are some ways deadlifts can go horribly wrong, but these are pretty avoidable.

In my experience, the only way to do less of that in the future is to do more of it now.
You're being too kind limiting it to just single candidates, in my opinion! ;)
Oh absolutely. The word police can fucking suck my big one hard. I'll call you "he" or "she" and you can pick one. I'm not changing how I reference you based on your mood and I'm not using any other recently manufactured pronouns ever.

The vast majority of Americans are on my side here. Look around at comments on articles and videos about fake pronouns. Even the majority of gays are against it. It's absolutely 100% a fucking laughing stock of a subject. If you can't see that, then you're blind.
Has there been some enormous breakthrough in any of these things "AI, space flight, genome research, evolution of computing" in the last 20 years? Pretty sure there hasn't been! I mean, Pentiums are faster I guess! Not as different as people seem to think though. Otherwise; nothingburgers for anybody's real world experience. Space flight has arguably gotten worse in the West over the last 20.

Environment has gotten obviously shittier since then; looks like a good trade to me!
Probably not Montreal -- they have a reputation for lower pay and higher taxes. But also considerably cheaper COL.

As a friend from out that way put it, "its harder to be a consumer there, but easier to be a human".
