I don't think any of them do, but more relevant to security none of them has auditable source code. Jitsi Meet (the easiest to use out of the services I've tried, namely Zoom and Google Meet) has experimental E2EE. But if you want real security you probably want something more like GNU Jami, which is not grandma-friendly easy to use and is a native application only.
Ideally by purchasing property that already has a capped well on it, or by drilling a well. If you go to the right places in the California deserts, water isn't even that deep.

It's also possible to haul water in - and that's what a lot of people do. There are services that will truck in a few thousand gallons of water and put it in your tank.
Awesome! Will be following closely. Good luck!
Yet another problem our generation will have to fix. It's okay with me though. I would rather go down in history as the generation that fixed all the problems than the one which created them.

They did, Tesla was the first to invest into Gigantic battery production and winning with economy of scale and vertical integration.

That was until China has more electric vehicles sold than rest of the world combined. They made 95% of all electric buses in the world. So the economy of scale somewhat shifted. And the rest comes with continual investment.

Typical empty nothing statement from Lyft. I highly doubt they will exist by then. Uber is falling back to food during coronavirus quarantine, what does Lyft have?

"...they have slick interfaces"

Their interface is an abomination. Even the tiny amount of information they do present is hard to parse. I use it for fun time investing, but would never trust real money with a company that can't plainly and clearly show me the status of said money.
I'll reach out, I've considered similar ideas for a awhile now.
1) Log in to your gmail

2) Switch to incognito mode, and go to some website that has Google ads on it

It would now be possible for Google to figure out that the ad was served to someone from the same IP address that recently was logged in with your gmail account.

Any health care website (for instance) that has PII on it probably stores IP addresses at some level, to try to detect DoS attacks, etc. If someone wanted to join that data, IP to PII, they could.
Disagree, life already sucks with money. Not worth living without it.
Yeah but what about: Some guy you really hate for his speeches hides in the city. Why not go there and suicide him before he goes and tells the people how their lifes can be much better or nonsense like that.

Or related to that: Let's assume you really hate the Jews for, I dont know, existing maybe. Why not track them all down and put them in camps? It's not like they can hide from you you, you know where everyone is all the time after all.
No but I've actually heard very similar experience to folks that went there, although I don't think it qualifies as a liberal arts college.
Work-Related Stress Affects Our Mental Health
Do you inherently disagree that targeted information tuned for uptake via automated, ML driven feedback, is incapable of affecting a persons behavior? If so, do you disagree that information in general is capable of influencing people?
This is overly charitable.

Zoom isn't learning from mistakes and making improvements that the market demands. It's providing a feature it said it already had.

Zoom knew E2EE was something the market demanded, so it lied about having E2EE. This was a blatant lie to get more people to use its platform. Then Zoom got caught. Now it's actually trying to provide what it said it provided in the first place.
Nonsense. No one is served by fining companies for superficial issues. Customers are nearly always better off getting features faster at the expense of superficial issues. Any other take ignores economic reality (I say this with much chagrin, as I would rather move slower and release finely crafted features).
Your argument totally neglects the fact that "liability," as a legal concept, means it is not necessarily the case that all parties share equal blame.

Had the operator not filed for bankruptcy, it would likely have been responsible for its own failure to appropriately manage the wells.

Had the state or federal government established adequate bonding practices to pay for the plugging of old and unproductive wells such as these, the burden of plugging these particular wells would have been lessened.

That’s not what the expression means. If you are a tiny company and a big customer comes to you and says “can you scale to support us”, you answer yes even if you are not 100% sure you are ready. If however you claim to have feature X and you don’t, that’s just a lie.
Thanks to the mentioned LineageOS team (and many other developers at XDA forums) this otherwise "enormous undertaking" is relatively easy.

Android 9 works flawlessly on many SD 801 devices. I believe it's the last version of Android to see such active development on this 32-bit SoC.

I've just installed it on my old HTC (which was also stuck at Android 5 and apps last updated ~2 years ago, even the autocorrect stopped working), and it's surprisingly usable.

Increasing the minimum CPU frequency and boost time makes it feel much snappier, and everything works as it should, even Google Assistant with hotword activation. Some overclocking should provide even better performance, but it would likely need a new battery.
Sure, but I would not necessarily blame the UI designer since the breakdown could have come from a number of places: requirement changes, implementation differences, miscommunication, etc. I mean who knows unless you're behind the scenes? Just blame the company.
I'll buck the trend: this is fantastic news.

Most of the comments in this thread are ignoring how preference cascades work: this kind of purely symbolic action sends a signal.

> Oddly, it still uses TensorFlow like the original GPT-2 release despite OpenAI's declared switch to PyTorch

Note the footnote in the paper where evaluations was interrupted by the move to MS Azure. This is relatively old work, and since it's literally GPT-2 but images, it's no surprise they didn't bother to rewrite it in PyTorch. If their next big from-scratch thing (presumably the multimodal GPT-like one-model-to-rule-them-all research I've been looking forward to ever since the TR article) is TensorFlow, then I'll be surprised.
> Yet they also do it if the app competes with them or their functionality

Is this about the screen time apps? Not all apps were targeted and there was a legitimate reason for that: that they could be malicious...

A more likely narrative is that Apple wanted to offer a safer version of these apps so they let it slide until they could get around to it. If you have a different/counter example, please share.

> Grocery chains buy the product for resale. A notable difference.

The shelf space fee is analogous to the $99 yearly developer fee and the the markup the grocery store charges is analogous to the 30%/15%. I don’t see a significant difference here.

> Grocery stores also have plenty of competition that can offer the same product

Yet all but the smallest grocery stores do this making this fact irrelevant since for lots of products you don’t have a choice anyway.

> Grocery stores don't often pull anticompetitive shit like this

Bad of course, but also not relevant here either.

> Perhaps they could make money of value of the service they provide

You underestimate the extent of the service they provide.

They develop all the hardware/software and built a powerful brand attracting the wealthiest customers to spend money in the store. There’s much more to selling apps than just App Store infrastructure.
My experience is ~2.5 years as a senior engineer on the Observability team at Twitter (from 2013-2015). I was part of the migration to Manhattan (mentioned in the post) from Cassandra, new alerting infra, query language design, among many other things. Your adtech experience should make you particularly sensitive to query latencies, so I find it interesting that you're glossing over that.

Yes, only 2% of metrics ever read. That was the same back then too. The kicker is that you can't be sure which will be read, so the systems are built to be able to read any of the metrics with the same SLA. This is especially critical during an outage where engineers will need to quickly read metrics that in many cases were only written only a few seconds ago that they wouldn't otherwise read and are not configured as part of an ongoing alert.

Additionally, the alerting infrastructure that runs on top of the TSDB is configured with 10k+ queries that run every minute. So even at 2% read, you're querying them over and over and over again because you always need the latest data plus whatever trailing data is needed to fulfill the alerting needs (trailing 10m, hour, day, month, etc). This also makes it a particularly hard caching problem.

I can't speak to the state of GCP at Twitter. I know they had started to migrate some things but when I was there it was all colo.

Could they use BQ? Sure it could probably be tooled with partitions/caching/etc to work I guess, but at the end of the day it's not what BQ is designed for which is data warehousing and BI. Could they have used something that wasn't a custom built in-house database? Yea almost certainly (No secret that there is some NIH going on at Twitter well before this)

This happens alll the time on HN so I'm not here to call you out specifically...but it's really easy to read a company's blog post about their infrastructure decisions and immediately scoff and say "psh why didn't they just use X?"...as if you now have the same context that the engineering team has by reading a single blog post.

That's totally fair. Robinhood definitely needs to put better rails and better UX to protect against these cases. But I think there's a lot more to the situation though. It's really horrible that his first instinct was to jump to suicide, rather than talk to somebody. His parents. Robinhood support. Any additional step could to led to him understanding that his position was not as bad as he thought it was. I just wish he felt he could have talked to somebody instead of feeling like there was no way out. The whole thing breaks my heart.
Interesting article. I think that using <> for the type specifiers would possibly be better! For example one could quickly end up with something like:

func (obj *SomeType(Q, Z)) Foo(type K, V comparable)(key K, val V) (*OtherType(Q, V), error) {
...
}

... Lots of Infuriating & Silly Parentheses?
> and now the entire thing is security theater.

I am not the one missing the forest for the trees.

It has always been security theater. From day 1. What's most galling is that quite a lot of the people participating here are young enough that they don't remember a time before the theater. If you are under 30 your first plane flight you can remember is probably after this all started.

Locks are mechanical, and a master key can be built by taking apart a lock and measuring the innards. In some cases you can create a master key by filing down the right teeth on a key you already have. Master keys in apartment buildings are an old, known problem to competitive lockpickers.

As other people are pointing out elsewhere in this thread, carrying a firearm requires that you use a lock-lock, not a TSA "lock".

I kept a CRT for quite a while but when I switched, I realized I didn't miss it.

1- True, if there is a thing I'd miss, that's it. At low resolutions, CRT sometimes get really nice refresh rates too (I've seen up to 18O Hz).

2- Modern gaming monitors have freesync/g-sync that not only give you arbitrary refresh rates, but they are also adaptive.

3- Also true, but not as significant as one might think. The monitor itself is zero latency, but what's behind it isn't. We are not "racing the beam" like in an Atari 2600 anymore, the image is not displayed before the rendering of a full frame is complete. The fastest monitors are at around 144Hz, that's 7ms. So for a 1ms gaming monitor to a 0ms CRT, you actually go down from 8ms to 7ms, to which you need to add the whole pipeline to get "from motion to photon". In VR, where latency is critical, the total is about 20ms today. More typical PC games are at about 50ms.

4- CRTs are usually analog. They don't use "bits" and it is all your video card job. Also 48bits is per pixel, 12bits is per channel. Apples to oranges comparison. CRTs do have a nice contrast ratio though, good for color range. Something worth noting is that cheap LCDs are usually just 6bit with dithering. True 8bit is actually good and I'm not sure that you can actually make a difference passed 12bits.

5- Never noticed that, maybe some driver problem. An interesting thing is that CRTs have a natural gamma curve that matches the sRGB standard (because sRGB was designed for CRTs). LCDs work differently and correction is required to match this standard, and if done wrong, you may have that kind of problem.

6- I hate text on CRTs. And unless you have an excellent monitor (and cable!), you have tradeoffs to make between sharpness, resolution, and refresh rate. And refresh rate is not just for games, below 60Hz, you have very annoying flickering. I wouldn't go below 75 Hz. And at max resolution, it can start getting blurry: the electron beam is moving very fast and the analog circuitry may have trouble with sharp transitions, resulting in "ringing" artifacts and overall blurriness. One old games, that blurriness becomes a feature though, giving you some sort of free antialiasing.

7- Some CRTs are crazy resilient, others not so much. Same thing for LCDs. And as you said, phosphors wear out, that's actually the reason why I let go of my last CRT (after about 10 years). My current LCD is 8 years old and still working great, if fact, better than my CRT at the same age (because it doesn't have worn phosphors).

Right. The attention layers even learn attention patterns which look like convolution layer kernels! But better, presumably: https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.03584
> I've noticed Windows and Linux users tend to keep their windows fully maximized

Interesting, I've noticed the exact opposite. Mac devs, especially younger ones, tend to have full-screen IDEs and browsers and constantly flick back and forth between apps. My theory was always that Windows and Linux users had gotten comfortable with the desktop metaphor while a large percentage of newer Mac users grew up using iPads which were all full-screen, all the time.
So how would this model be used for a classification task?

You should do whatever you want to do, you are your own human.

My biggest question about Zoom's implementation is, how can we trust it? They haven't proven themselves to be trustworthy, so it's a big ask for the world to believe their latest pitch.
Did Meet/Teams/Skype claim E2E encryption?

The only alternative I ever looked into was Jitsi (because it was the first alternative I started doing research on, and by the time I'd finished researching it there was no doubt that it was more than good enough -- and super easy to build our own cloud instance so that, even though it wasn't E2E, we had total control of the server that managed the encryption), but I don't recall hearing arguments that any of the other major competitors were actually E2E encrypted.
You seem to have missed the bit about Panasonic building all the cells.
>Bonus point that isn't mentioned in the article: HDR is a meme, don't buy into that crap.

I'd wager more people are going to notice the difference between HDR and SDR than they would 4k vs 1080p. It is by far the biggest picture quality upgrade I've seen since going from SD to HD.

The problem is HDR sucks on LCDs, so it's largely useless on PC. FALD isn't enough to limit the halos, even with a ton of zones. I own the PG27UQ mentioned in this article and I hate it.

I'll probably just buy an LG CX 48" for my next monitor.

That's so far from accurate that I'm not sure how you got there. Both are squarely on the left and abhor Trump. Chomsky calls Greenwald his close friend, for example, and Taibbi wrote a book called "Insane Clown President" and was one of the strongest journalistic critics of the financial system.

Lyft doesn't own the cars; the drivers do. (Mostly; Lyft has a side hustle in the rent a car business.) So this doesn't mean much.

Your link is broken, so here it is with some quotes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet):

> The term Democrat Party is an epithet for the Democratic Party of the United States,[2][3][4] used disparagingly by the party's opponents.[5] United Press International reported in August 1984 that the term had been employed "in recent years by some right-wing Republicans" because the party name implied that the Democrats were "the only true adherents of democracy."[6]...

> [Conservative] Political commentator William Safire wrote in 1993 that the Democrat of Democrat Party "does conveniently rhyme with autocrat, plutocrat, and worst of all, bureaucrat".[9]...

> Journalist Ruth Marcus stated that Republicans likely only continue to employ the term because Democrats dislike it,[2] and Hertzberg calls use of the term "a minor irritation" and also "the partisan equivalent of flashing a gang sign".[10]
They aren't the only ones doing it. I get what you are saying, but is your (more general) argument that CA was bad, or that precise, hidden information targeting based on a persons characteristics cannot be used in nefarious ways? Because if you aren't arguing the latter, I don't think its worth calling OP out on CA specifically.
Yes, but people still cut down trees. The question is how much faster forests would spread since there would be less deforestation.
How can they offer E2E while still complying with Chinese laws?
On <> syntax, this has been discussed quite a bit. () were chosen to avoid ambiguous parsing.

Also note that generic methods are not allowed in the current design, only generic functions.

The new draft design ( https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/des... ) discusses both of these points. I recommend everyone who is interested in this topic read the design spec, ideally before commenting.
The key information is in this sentences: "We are also pleased to share that we have identified a path forward that balances the legitimate right of all users to privacy and the safety of users on our platform ... while maintaining the ability to prevent and fight abuse on our platform." So they found a balance between privacy and ability to prevent abuse. In other words: this E2E encryption will have some backdoor which will be used only for legal reasons (to prevent abuse, etc.). Just like in the 80's when the US government asked Atari if they can provide encryption for their systems... In was encrypted for everybody, except... the government...
Agree with other commenter who said you know what's best for you. Good job on iterating toward an optimal setup!

But I will tell you why multi monitor setups aren't the best for me. It doesn't feel like having a nice big desk to work at; rather, it's like having a separate desk for each monitor, and I have to move from one to the other to use it. With more than one centered monitor, I have to move my head to look between them, or my entire body, so that I can face straight towards whichever monitor I'm currently looking at. I've tried going back to multi monitor setups many times and every time I get tired of it faster due to straining my neck, eyes, elbows and shoulders with all that turning-to.

For me, it's one very nice monitor, with my laptop plugged in in clamshell mode (although now I leave my rMBP cracked so I can use TouchID).

I've also been using a window manager (Moom) with hotkeys to be able to set up three vertical windows on my screen. That seems to be the sweet spot for me: I can have multiple different code editors, or editor+terminal+web, or throw in email/slack/whatever into the mix. (I can also split a vertical column to two windows to achieve a 2 row x 3 column layout, and lots of other layouts, 1x1 vert/hor, 2x2, centered small/large...) I feel like I've arrived where you're at, my perfect setup!

I also still enjoy the 13" rMBP screen, although I can't get to 3 columns, and lately the keyboard hurts my wrists after extended usage. I use a Kinesis Freestyle 2 with the monitor+rMBP which has been absolutely fantastic for typing ergonomics.
Do you really think that organizations which are equipped to provide educational resources on the topic (e.g. Robinhood) are going to do so out of the goodness of their hearts? No, someone must be held accountable for it to happen, and I wouldn't hold my breath delegating this responsibility to the public sector.

Unregulated bitcoin trading is completely different from this situation. We're not talking about hucksters and gambling. Tons of kids look up to legitimate, wealthy people who say "investing is the best thing for your future" and the only way the young folk know how to do this is to get on Robinhood because of its marketing/branding/ease-of-use. How many more kids are going to try to take well-meaning advice recklessly due to lack of experience / unfinished brain development, and find themselves in a void of inescapable depression leading to suicide because nobody is being held accountable?
That is the exact same way I'm seeing it.
