One could hide the subdomain too (yes, I know there are cases where you have a different trust relationship depending on subdomain - but these are rare).

:D Hilarious. This is just Trump in a nutshell. Imagine your kid in a few years, when they have a school lecture about "worst US presidents in history", then all you need to do is show them this page and they will know it all... This single post has everything:

* Completely incoherent language and sentences that make zero sense and repeat themselves several times

* Trump basing legal arguments for a pardon on "a lot of people like him" and basing the difference of "execute this guy" on "well if he does me a favor, I would be a huge fan, if not, let's kill this motherfu"

* Making completely absurd comparisons to his own history to "prove" his point. Things happened to him too you know, he can relate... He can relate
Blink has worse behavior in my experience, they're just popular. You know, the ie6 effect.
In case of a lawsuit your chances are better if you exactly state that you want a deletion pursuant to Article 17 of GDPR.

Only stating you want your data to be deleted leaves the counterpart wiggle room.
I think containers are great even for really small companies.
You boiled it down to `n' servers but its `n' servers times `m' services times `k` software updates. That's easier as soon as n * m * k > 2!

First of all, containers can be used with Cloud Run and many other ways to run containers without managing servers at all!
(tho if you can use services like Netlify and Heroku to handle all your needs cost-effectively, you probably should).

Setting up a server with docker swarm is pretty easy, because there's basically one piece of software to install. From there on all the software to update and install is in containers.

If your software gets more complex, your server setup stays simple. Even if it doesn't get complex, being able to install software updates for the app independently of the host is great. Ie, I can go from Python 3.7 to Python 3.8 with absolutely zero fuss.

Deploying servers doesn't get more complicated with a few more containers. At some point that's not true but if you want to run, say, grafana as well, the install/maintenance of the server stays constant.

Imagine what you would do without containers... editing an ansible script and having to set up a new server just to test the setup, or horribly likely ssh'ing in and running commands one-off and having no testing, staging or reproducibility.

I vastly prefer Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yml and swarm to ansible and vagrant. There are more pre-built containers than there are ansible recipes as well. So your install/configure time for any off-the-shelf stuff can go down too.

Setting up developer laptops is also improved with Docker, though experiences vary... Run your ruby or python or node service locally if you prefer, set up a testing DB and cache in docker, and run any extra stuff in containers.

Lastly, I think CI is also incredibly worthwhile even for the smallest of companies and containers help keep the effort constant here too. The recipe is always the same.
The article and the discussion so far are all about bike shops specifically, however I would say this lesson generalizes well.

No matter what your business is, one of your first and most important decisions is who will your customer be. Getting that wrong usually leads to a failed business, and even when “successful” can result in a business that is miserable to operate. Fortunately, if you got it wrong to start, you _can_ change who your customer is.

>I can’t even begin to wrap my head around the death and mayhem that would ensue if AWS and Google simply packed up and turned off the data centers.

There's lots of companies out there that would cause mayhem if they simply closed up shop. But there's plenty of alternatives out there and self hosting is still an option. We can do without AWS. It would take more than a day to migrate but we could do it.
I believe it was wikileaks that revealed the term "spirit cooking" along with some vague references to "having kids ready in a hottub" for the Chairman of the DNC that started pizzagate. That happened in Oct 2016.

Thanks for phrasing it like this - I'm also not a Richard Stallman type but it's hard to disagree with this statement. Just downloaded Firefox and made the switch.
> ...average salary is probably close to $200K.

Mozilla employs some of the world's best talent who could walk away any minute and double their salary. I'd even wager that it is a great service some of them do to stay where they are and not be lured by the big money they could be making literally anywhere else. The salaries they earn are more than fair, in my eyes.

I'm terribly disappointed that Mozilla lost so much talent not to attrition but to layoffs. Hopefully, they find newer sources of income and become financially strong again.
"The next billion" was a codename for "gaining access to Chinese markets", not "fooling tech-illiterate people into becoming Google loyalists".

The reason why the address bar is being tweaked in this manner isn't to hide the Internet from Internet users, it's to hide insecure parts of the URL. Only the domain name portion of a URL is actually secured by anything, and only the part closest to the right of the domain. Most people don't know or care that they need to run a set of regular expressions in their head and consult with a list of public suffixes to validate if a website is legitimate. They're just told, "Look for microsoft.com in the URL", and then they see http://123.45.67.89/~spam/microsoft.com/techsupport and think "Well, it says Microsoft, that means it's Microsoft".

It's not so much that Google doesn't want people knowing about the web, it's that people already don't know much about the web. It's not the people's job to know all of the relevant technical standards when they just want to know if a security alert in their e-mail is an actual thing they have to worry about or a phishing scam.
>Because if you read the actual conspiracy theory of QAnon it's batshit insane. The world order is being taken over by the Obama's and Democrats and the only guy that can save us is that dude that used to be on The Apprentice.

Minus the part where Donald Trump is the literal Messiah, most of QAnon's beliefs have been mainstream among the American right wing for years. The only real difference in that regard is the shifting of the Overton window, so what used to be the subject of fringe rants on AM talk radio is now more or less accepted in the mainstream.

Yeah we have had reports from one other user that his Chromebook sometimes has issues recording both webcam and screen at the same time. I definitely intent to test as many devices as possible and put up a more official page about that.
It misses the security considerations for names. Almost nobody knows about nor implements that. Eg for filenames or variable names.
This was a pretty good take on why QAnon is such a big issue: https://youtu.be/6k-w-2KIV7Q?t=4728

"q anon is a conspiracy theory incubator it's not like the other conspiracy theories out there it's not like pizzagate alone it's not like the epstein stuff alone it's an incubator for all these conspiracies so they all feed off of each other so even if you try to knock down one there's others to hold it up if you look at the vast amount of anti-vaxxers who just recently got into q anon around march and april of this year it's like a whole separate movement that was gigantic and huge and dangerous in its own right

basically combined with q anon to form something even more dangerous and you're going to see it with more of these separate conspiracy theory movements down the line and that's really what makes q anon so honestly horrific i mean you have conspiracy theorists who don't even they're not even on the same page percentage of q9 people believe uh uh rapper kennedy jfk is still alive or whatever and then another percentage thinks that's bullshit but it doesn't matter because they all come together for the prime reason that hell this is all stuff that's going to help trump and we believe in the main thing that all these different forces are coming together to stop trump but he's going to take them all down the"

Containers are pretty good. My current company uses C++ and CMake and they eschewed containers for nix.

I think you might because of socio-economic context under-estimate the scale and danger of this. There are government officials, members of the military including special forces, and more, that openly signal their belief in the QAnon conspiracy. Besides, the QAnon conspiracy taunts its followers towards dangerous political behaviours.

College vs. trade school isn't just about money or 'social acceptability', it's also about opportunity. A 18 year old who goes to trade school to become an electrician is going to become an electrician, they are not going to be able to change their minds in two years and become a biologist.

That kid who went to college at 18 has a lot more options. They can switch majors, they can take internships, they can get their degree in underwater basketweaving and still be considered a good applicant to a masters program. They can also take that degree and apply to a lot of 'soft' positions. A basketweaving degree won't get you a dev job at google, but it might get you a HR job.

That’s not an apt comparison because it’s questionable whether what Apple is doing is illegal or not. OTOH, paying below minimum is explicitly illegal.

A better comparison would be hiring people at a maximum of 10 hours a week, and then the employee getting upset they don’t get 11+ hours.

It sounds lovely, but it doesn't work out this way.

Companies dont't open their own stores, and sell the games there cheaper than at a competitors store. They only sell it there.
That doesn't say anything about starving, just that those people use fish as their primary source of protein. Presumably they could get that protein from poultry or even beans and pulses.
The bulk of the Schlesinger collection was donated by Julia Child from her personal library, and yes, English-language cookbooks covering Asian and and especially African cuisine were scarce before 1940. And Child was definitely a Francophile when it came to food, so her collection was skewed that way.
Yep. The kelp forests in California have been devastated in the last few years, due to "sea star wasting disease". The sea-star population crashes, sea stars are a no longer a major predator of purple sea urchins, sea urchins like to eat the "holdfast" where the kelp attaches to the seafloor, and boom, no more kelp forests. The resulting denuded landscape (seascape?) is known as an "urchin barren". Instead of a lush underwater forest teeming with crabs, snails, and fish, you have mostly bare rocks and urchins. The ocean truly is a system.
I'm writing a book with three levels out output, think "simple" then "medium" then "advanced".

Writing it in sections and assembling the sections for rendering allows me to also export for multiple targets, and multiple versions.

I mean they incorporated a lot of Marxist theory, and it is essentially Neo-Marxism. I don't know how much these schools of thought differ, but I do hear about OG Marxists feeling that they're ruining it, or turning it into a mockery of the true philosophy.
When people lose faith in the people who are supposed to be telling the truth, they look for other things to fill the gap. The media is unreliable to say the least, government is compromised and corrupt, the academy is both self-serving and "woke." Why wouldn't alternative explanations for things seem appealing at this point?
I just transferred a friend's iphone the other day and noticed this animated pattern. I presumed the QR-like code was just to transfer authentication so that the two phones could establish a secure wifi connection, since the QR recognition is fairly instantaneous and you don't have to keep the camera on the animation for long. (the process does ask you to keep the phones close, so the later transfer is probably by bluetooth, as you say)

One (possible) advantage could be that the animated nature means that someone taking a photograph of the animation won't capture enough data to steal the whole payload? And the use of tiny pixels might mean that even a video capture from anywhere but up-close might not have enough fidelity (after compression) to read the encoding either?

> If the how ends up starving millions or billions of people, then I'm really sorry but I'm not going to side with the whales as much as I would like them to be okay.

If the world has too many people, and we're fishing beyond replenishment rate, those people are going to starve to death anyway. It's just a matter of when. Who should be sorry if there's evidence the world is beyond it's carrying capacity?

> If they really cared about the whales then they would find a way to provide for the people who eat the fish that power the industry that is hurting the whales.

It's not the job of non profits to figure out how to feed endless amounts of humans. This is no different than environmental constraints that force population declines in all other species. You can't continue to expand the human species unbounded and foist the problem on someone else when physical systems are pushed beyond their limits.
The average educational attainment of black people in the united states is lower, that's not racism, it's data. You can attach racial causes to it if you want, but it doesn't change my point.

"Reparations" is basically code for wealth transfer. If you mean crafting a more just, fair society, you probably want a different word.

In most republics we pretend that class doesn't exist, and it doesn't in the rigid ways that it did previously. It does however, always exist in some form.

In the UK, class is still discernible immediately by accent, schools are mostly segregated by class, etc. In Ireland, it's not like the UK... though some Dublin neighborhoods still have very distinct class accents. Even this is dying off. But.. class still exists in a more amorphous form broadly.
Canonical is the #1 distributor of Linux on Windows. It seems to fill that niche perfectly.

Oh wow I completely misunderstood it then. So BIPOC is a subset of POC, got it. Thank you.
Yes, but that doesn't explain why it's different from other conspiracy theories. Some people have told me with a straight face that they believe the CIA is hiding something funny in vaccines and so they won't take a COVID-19 shot. Others prattle on and on about the Jews. Some use events long ago (slavery, war, etc) as a justification for vandalism, theft and violence today.

I understand how QAnon is driving some people nuts, but there are lots of theories that are driving people nuts. Many crimes are justified by different theories.
These people are a minority. Socal is very diverse.
Interesting point. What if Jeffrey Epstein was the original "Q"?
>We essentially have some teenager on 4chan trolling an entire audience of probably hundreds of thousands of individuals.

That's the most plausible explanation and I've explained it that way to several people already. Doesn't work though - you'll either be dismissed or discover later on that they've found a way of reconciling it with their already crackpot worldview.
You might not agree that Black lives matter, but it's not a conspiracy theory. With BLM, people are opting in to a social movement rooted in observed police violence. QAnon is not tethered to reality in the slightest.
I don’t fully understand apples argument here of “we can’t moderate everything”

They’ve allowed the Steam Link app on the App Store for a while now. It’s Remote Desktop to my PC and I can play loads of games through it. That’s barely any different. Steam made the store functionality less built in, so it’s harder to buy things, but it’s still game streaming. There are loads of Remote Desktop apps on iOS already, is the difference that it’s “end users machine” vs “cloud”? Or that it’s a subscription? I don’t understand.

Personally, not sure I would trust my project, and my time and effort to software written by someone who won't see the value of adding a screenshot to their software's site.

It was started in 2009, and for some reason.. no screenshots.

For me, that breaks trust.
From what I understand, the QAnon Conspiracy theory is dangerous partially due to the volume of believers in political offices or coming into political offices. It is not unlike how scientology can often be more dangerous than other cults because scientology consistently targets culturally significant people to join the cult.

Embarrassingly I let checking the URL bar give me a false sense of security and got phished for the first time just a few days ago. They put a fake URL bar into the page and made it look like a proper OAuth2 URL. (My 2nd factor saved me from giving them access since it slowed me down enough to notice some subtle oddities, but I still had to change the password since that was already submitted)

The real protection against this is making it impossible for me to send credentials to the wrong party. Normally my password manager helps with that, but I had just switched managers a couple days before and it wasn't recognizing all sites properly (likely due to the lack of a database of known equivalent URLs). If the site was using WebAuthn, there wouldn't have been any issue because the imperfect URL checks by me and the password manager would not be necessary.
I agree wholeheartedly and gave up on the article when I read that line. On my Mac, Safari is quick, resource efficient, and does everything I need it to do. I'm sure there are some downsides, but to dismiss it as a joke is ridiculous.
It can still be used for transactions, just very slow ones. There's no need to use it to buy a cup of coffee, but I'm hoping it can still be used to send $5 to someone and just have it take days to arrive.
They say in the article that while there are distance estimation functions for normal quadratic Julia sets, such functions are not known for these higher-order rational Julia-like functions.
What if we thought of QAnon as a political party?
I'm fine with Apple taking 30%, 50%, or 90% of revenue on the App Store. Running the App Store isn't free, and Apple is the party best positioned to assess their own costs. However, the App Store should not be the only way to install software on my phone.

Critically, if I was able to sideload apps, Apple wouldn't charge 90%, because then no developer would ever use the store. A central repository of curated, vetted apps is a key selling point for the iPhone. Apple will want to maintain that feature, as they should, but they have to put in the work to compete.
