This tells me either they don't have to pass their automated testing suite to do releases, or worst of all the functionality is broken on purpose. Anchors are HTML 101. Something is really messed up somewhere for this to be an issue for 8 production releases now. This started in Chrome 76 and 84 is the current version.
Sure any lawyer can have ulterior motives. It just so happens that this particular AG has a well established track record of politicizing his work in public office, dating back to the Nixon and Reagan years. It doesn’t seem like a stretch to take that track record into consideration when analyzing his move against Google.

I know antitrust covers more than just the classic case of monopolies driving up consumer prices. But looking at it just from the anti-consumer lens, the case against Amazon really is kind of funny, when they're at the same time blamed for pushing prices down so low that that the fed uses them as a possible explanation for low inflation [1].

Critics question whether novel reactor is “walk-away safe”

I think the modern (3rd generation?) Reactors have been designed to use much more of the fuel, leaving considerably less as waste, and actually potentially using preciously used spent fuel as fuel, which of course would be cleanup. The problem is approval and building of anything new.
Hmm. I think a good question, even if the question itself shows the error -

- To keep using the MOBA analogy (for me that'd be LoL), when you're winning in your lane enough to roam, you don't take over someone else's lane, you go assist them in it.

If eng is killing it and sales are lagging, I guess you'd send some folks from one to assist and empower the other. Maybe sales doesn't understand the tech well enough to sell it, maybe what sells isn't what's been built, maybe it's a question of moral and bodies, maybe it's a question of tooling.

The "win" being the announcement of a case and ensuing press coverage or whatnot? I'm assuming it would take years for such a case to be concluded.
> The prosecution of war crime focusing on active military members should not be confusing.

That's not the part that's confusing to me. (I'm really not clear how you could possibly come away with that from what I wrote?)

The confusing part is the jurisdiction. In what capacity were the soldiers present in the other country? (It obviously wasn't voluntarily for leisure.) Based on the answer to the former, were they subject to the laws of the other jurisdiction at the time of their actions? Or do they instead fall under US jurisdiction? The US government's stance on this seems quite clear at least.
We don't take security lightly, but we don't do a good job articulating how we safeguard things in the product. We'll fix this - thanks for pushing on it.

There are details throughout this post, but I will summarize our high-level approach.

* When we request permissions, we request a minimal set. For example, you can connect Drive with just meta-data access and our access will be scoped accordingly.

* Everything is encrypted. Importantly, it's also encrypted in the data store itself. If our DB was compromised, the entries would not be readable (ECIES, Secp256k1, AES256+CTR). Only exception is the reverse index.

* The operations that involve encryption / decryption of encrypted content live in an isolated layer.

* Token storage follows similar methodology

* We get a pentest and security reviews quarterly

* We also have strict company policies around IT and infrastructure access

That said, we aren't ever at a terminal point in our security story.

Our experience has been that security conscious companies simply turn off ability to connect third party applications.

The problem with the opposite approach is "legislating from the bench", which leads to legal uncertainty and comes with plenty of its own problems. That complexity you mentioned doesn't go away, it just gets shifted into case law instead of statutory law.

Wow, I was interviewing there in 2013. I was interviewing for a fairly senior engineering position.

When they sent me the details for the on-site they sent me a role two levels lower. When I asked about it I was told the Director of Engineering felt that was a suitable role.

I withdrew from the process at that point. I was pretty bummed as I was super high on Optimizely back then. But I knew enough about myself to know that wasn't a good way to start a job (assuming I got an offer).

Well, no. What you saw was what you got. But you didn't either get or see boldface, italics, underline, proportional spacing, and other such stuff. (-:
I've given stewardship of the project to the community. At this point, it's largely in maintenance mode. Most changes are tightening up loose semantics and the like. IIRC the last major was only a major by technicalities; it didn't really break anyone unless they were relying in weird obscure behaviors.

Since the framework isn't interested in chasing trends and since it provides extension points via lifecycle methods, there's really nothing novel that needs to come from the framework itself.

I know some of the more popular frameworks make it seem that webdev is constantly in churn/evolving, but if you look at React for example, other than the hooks paradigm shift etc, it hasn't really changed all that much in scope over the years either (the same can be said about other libraries as well).

For example, Mithril could easily be used w/ coffeescript when that was still a thing, and people use it with typescript these days too without much fuss since TS is also a project that decouples well. And this is with zero changes to the framework. You can integrate dragula or plupload or google maps or whatever via lifecycle methods as you always could too.

So, TL;DR: I think the focus still remains on making it as stable and robust as possible

Certain products have a desktop app counterpart. For example, Notion, Trello, Figma, etc.

I mean, I guess quackery is free speech.

But it's awfully irresponsible to pretend it's good for society to spread it.

Not everyone has the scientific knowledge necessary to understand p-values and what they mean for research like this. It's a lot to ask that everyone know the standard for publishing in medicine is a p-value < 0.05, which corresponds to a 5% chance of the study's results being wrong. It's a lot to ask that everyone be aware that there were 130 different studies on hydroxychloroquine and to do the math from there to determine that we'd expect 6 or 7 of them to be wrong.

It's much better to say "just because it's not illegal doesn't mean it's a good idea" and just not share such thoroughly bad information.

I've found that it's not just for product review. For any generic life topics (pet, plumbing, etc.), web searching is not an effective choice anymore. It's a mixture of PR, useless home remedies, and a small number of helpful information.

I either do site:reddit.com, or some other more specific forum/website that I already know. Another option is to search YouTube, and only choose the videos in which I see the video maker actually perform the plumbing, or get along with a cat.
A Case for the Mediocre Developer
I hope the athletes sue the school for a hefty fee.
That's really interesting. I work along side Optimizely in the analytics field and I remember that moment - I used to email into support@ to ask about stuff to help improve data across our platforms, and always had no problem. Almost over night the email support was shut off (in support of optiverse + partners, a route I totally get when you're trying to move upmarket) but it felt really forced, really fast and I think they could have done a better job ramping up enterprise without slamming all the self-serve and free customers.

My company is going through a similar phase of trying to move more up market, and I'm glad we've tried to keep the free/self-serve tiers explicitly because we think they build good mindshare.
It's missing a /s. At least, I hope they just forgot to add that.
Probably? At least in part. This study involved supplementation rather than skin production.

However, for those who can get skin production it is probably better, as there may be other effects we don’t know of. Plus it self limits, whereas one can overdo supplements.
>Tell me honestly, buying commercial airplanes risks the global security while people in Iran have to fly with +40 years old commercial planes ?

You're focused on what is and isn't fair. But fairness is subjective in a complicated world and everyone has their view of fairness. Not everything Iran got, they deserved, but Iran is where it is due to their choices.

But I look at it from a level of pragmatism. The prosperity of US and its people isn't dependent on good relations with Iran. On the other hand, the prosperity of Iran and its people is dependent on not being antagonistic to the United States. That they continue to be, guarantees that Iranian people will not able to fully participate in the global economy, and may even lead to armed conflict or war, with the surrounding Arab states or Israel or America. In other words, Iran's actions led to Iranians flying on 40+ year old commercial planes, while Americans are flying modern Boeing and Airbus jets.

>Like many others I had great hopes with JCPOA and I witnessed how it fallen apart by US unilaterally.

That was unfortunate. Obama made two bad calculations:

1) that he could push through the deal without broad internal political consensus. He knew he could never get the deal passed through Congress, but he went along with it anyway because ...

2) he gambled his successor would be a moderate Republican or Hillary and therefore would uphold it. Unfortunately for him and Hillary and Iran, Trump won.

In this case, Iran made a mistake as well. Iran came into the negotiation trying to give up as little as possible. Specifically Iran wanted to limit the deal to their nuclear weapons program (and in a way, that they could restart it after the term of the JCPOA was up), without impacting their broader geopolitical goals. They succeeded in doing that. But in doing so they made it far easier for American hawks, Israel, and regional Arab states to pressure Trump to rip up the deal.

You too. It's a big world, and us little people can only be spectators.
I worked there for 5 years. This is the correct take.
If the costs are low, then the free supply chain won’t cost much to create. If the public health savings are greater than the costs, it may be better to just mail free supplements to people than mail them postcards advising they go out and purchase them (advice most people will ignore, no matter how low the cost).
Unfortunately, most large corporations are relatively immune to hypocrisy.
SL-1 was an Army reactor, so I would say it doesn't count. I'd also not count the USS Thresher or the USS Scorpion, since reactor accidents weren't the reason those sank.

There are hundreds of ways to fingerprint you and your device, without an avertising ID. You just need a few (5-7?) To uniquely identify someone.

A few examples that come to my mind:
Current battery level, typing speed, phone model, OS version, battery wear (guessable from charge/discharge rate), charge rate (depends on the charger), finger width, propensy to use features differently (scrolling, zooming, selecting text), clipboard contents, RTC lag, microbenchmark performance... System preferences alone is probably enough (brightness level, airplane mode, dark mode).

If a fingerprinting library is present in more than one app, I find it unlikely that both fingerprints couldn't be linked to the same user. If one of these apps has a log-in, they can probably link that up with the rest of browsing history, on-device and cross-device.

Sounds far-fetched? I don't think so. I rather think I'm underestimating the issue.

I think one technical answer to that would be to "taint" every measurement of a potential identifier, and track its usage across the program. If the app tries to submit information that is somewhat related, block it.

Alternatively, compute a score and block it above a certain threshold (that will be gamed, but could help a transition). Or use a RR-like mechanism to change the measurement to a dummy value, and replay up to the exfiltration point.
That is not really the point, it doesn't matter if there is 4 or 40 or 400 billion tons of uranium, the point is that it is finite. At some point, there is none, or better there is no more usable ressources available. This can be shifted with technology and better knowledge but it is still finite. And that is all the point I wanted to make.

Yeah there are two competing needs here. Users expect to stay in the same location on the page if they refresh it or if they go to another page and use the back button. Users also expect that when the URL contains an anchor then they go to the location of that anchor. It's a tough issue to find the balance between these two user needs but I think the behaviour implemented by Chrome is good. These days it is very rare that a user refreshes a page, and when they do most users expect to stay in the same location on the page.
Email is generally undervalued by most people I know.

We should realize its inherent value as the location to

I have always thought that diet and exercise are both needed. If you can cut your caloric intake by 250 calories a day, and increase your aerobic exercise to burn 250 more calories a day, you should be able to lose a pound a week, without going to extremes of diet or exercise.

Of course, someone who is obese will take a long time to get to a healthy weight if they are only losing a pound a week, but most people would have a hard time maintaining extremes of diet or exercise for a long period of time.

I don't think the type of content you're looking for even exists any more.

Even if someone has the desire to create a high quality, old-school, interest-based site, they're going to be dealing with the fact that Google won't surface the content because SEO magic, there is no community of similar sites who will link to them, and their content doesn't fit the format preferred by social media.

I think the web has firmly shifted to being about commercial entities having a way of plugging content into Google. The initial premise, a web of carefully curated links between long-lived documents, is dead. And the people who would have created websites if they grew up in the 90s and early 2000s have moved onto other formats.
Nuclear sites are designed to withstand a strike from a commercial airliner (747). Like you, the designers imagined many of the events you mentioned and more. A good rule of thumb is that if you, a non-expert, can think of a scenario within 10 minutes, an expert has probably already thought of this scenario. Nuclear power plants and weapons sites have always been considered targets and thus considered extra scrutiny in their design.
Right. But in this case I was replying to a comparison with a corporate environment, which is not actually comparable to the government's situation.
