IE6 was the most innovative browser of all until it won the race. I don't think we're at the stage yet where we can say if Chrome can be compared or not.
This was used as actual torture in MKUltra experiments:

Too true. Corollary of "if you're using something that's free, you're the product" is "if you're using something you paid for, you're still the product". Either way, companies are incentivized to sell your data for profit.
The features they are adding are often unnecessary and designed to help them further lock down the web, prevent ad blocking, etc.

I’m surprised no ones even noticed that Portals are basically AMP Supercharged to where you’d never leave Google. Truly dystopian future they’re trying to slowly cement.

You want people to associate the song with ice cream; varying the sing gets in the way of that.
Putting people out on their own recognizance works in most cases. The rare exception of a serious flight risk simply doesn’t get bail anyway.
> your ability to go home and see your family is determined by your financial status?

Isn't bail adjusted based on the persons financial status?

Unlike road fines and the like, it's one of the few things that do take into account a persons wealth.
I definitely agree and see this article as a pretty positive thing.

Just surprising coming from the NYTs.
Will do, I’ll give it a shot sometime this week and report back.

Still not sure how much of a niche WSL is, but it’s my daily driver.
The US respects first sale doctrine as well. See Vernor v. Autodesk, Inc. 555 F. Supp. 2d 1164. [0]

However, the ability to resell a license doesn’t remove other conditions, e.g., restrictions on data center usage.

It should be, there's a Linux and a Windows release at https://github.com/chriswalz/bit/releases - you could just run it natively without WSL though?
I've wondered if Kafka would have the same reputation had he finished his writings. I read Amerika, and though I enjoyed the book my strongest memory of it was the sudden shock I felt when I realized it was done and the last 40 pages were an afterword. It's hard to imagine an actual ending that produced such a lasting effect on me.
I think that you are missing the point. A standard must not dictate which symbols should be used, if it is a straight arrow, curved arrow, or a dotted one. Its purpose is to allow all kinds of symbols, positioning and denoting of relationships so that all symbols, relationships and positioning could be reproduced from the consumer of the data, be it a browser or a screen reader.
I remember back when AMD had both closed and open drivers and, having trouble with the proprietary drivers, I switched to the OSS version. It was NIGHT AND DAY. Games that would crash and had weird oddities now ran smooth with higher frame rates. A lot of weird video issues, especially those that come from running more than one X server or Xnest, all went away.

I would only use AMD cards in my Linux boxes. The nvidia drivers/cards pale in comparison.
> or medical system.

Poor people get medicaid, which is actually pretty decent insurance since it's private (non government) insurance, paid for by the government.

It's actually the middle class that has it hard: Too rich for medicaid, too poor to easily afford the deductibles.

(I know this is an unpopular opinion, but things were better before Obamacare - deductibles were much much lower.)
I think it may be different if you are philosophically opposed to the themes the author is trying to convey. My views do somewhat align with CS Lewis so I am biased. But the reason I specifically mentioned him is because he has many overtly Christian themes he actively portrays in his novels but I never feel like he is banging me over the head with obvious allegories. His novels are not overly complex but have much depth in terms of the characters and the people and themes they portray. Narnia is an obvious exception, but it is a childrens book. I am currently reading Till We Have Faces and would highly recommend it. It has a Christ like figure, but the more interesting part of it is the exploration of relationship and love.

With Dostoevsky I do not know if he really set out to convey a specific philosophical truth or not. To me his novels seem more of an exploration of human suffering and what living in his day was like. But I am not Dostoevsky scholar.

Tolkien may be a better example. You can easily read Lord of the Rings without picking up any Christian symbolism.
True. But a least a little? Or if low frequency sound is actually not transmitted through air but through the floor and body then one could step on something soft.
It’s also a very heavy bike, with a extra long chain, able to carry two kids and a load of groceries. The chain is probably under some serious strain when going uphill, even when correctly geared and well maintained.
As an aside, as a single person I feel the discounts that come with family plans to be weirdly discriminatory. I go with prepaid TMobile (10gb for $40) because it’s much cheaper than a regular(?) plan with only 1 line. But to hook my Apple Watch up to cellular, I need the regular plan ($75 for one line + $10 for Apple Watch) as prepaid tech is years behind and second tier (most MVNOs included). That means that the only way I can use an Apple Watch on cellular as a single person is by paying $45 more per month. Complaining about an Apple Watch is a first world problem, but I think the pricing system is unfair.

I really wonder whether young members of the family consume more or less data, or what other reason could be used to justify family-discounting.. but it’s probably like a parent comment said: there’s no correlation between costs to the carrier and price the consumer pays; the single/family split exists to create the maximum profit off both groups by penalizing single people and convincing families to add all younger members to the plan (even those that might not need it). IMO carriers should give an age discount for under 18, not a per-line reduction the more members are in your plan.
You're completely innocent until you've been proven guilty; before trial, the conviction rate is irrelevant to whether the person is innocent

It's demonstrably false that when someone is targeted for harassment, their gender doesn't matter "that much." Emily Kager's post highlights how gendered the harassment is. Here's one citation stating "one in four serious and violent threats directed at women were related to their gender, compared with one in 16 for men." [0] Here's an analysis of comments towards female vs male athletes finding that abuse towards female athletes is three times more likely. [1] Here's another finding that half the women surveyed categorised their abuse as misogynistic. [2]

To clarify, I'm not saying women are "harassed more frequently." That seems not to be the case, and yet here's a study that "showed that while male celebrities, female journalists, and male politicians face the highest likelihood of online hostility, women are significantly more likely to be targeted specifically because of their gender, and men are overwhelmingly those doing the harassing." [3]

The types of online harassment are multiple and varied; we could equally single racist, fatphobic, and, as the earlier comment mentioned, antisemitic abuse out as well. We can even talk about the abuse faced by men -- I've been active online for 30 years, I'm a male, I'm not blind to it -- but that is not what this post is about. It's about the specifically gendered nature of abuse faced by women online. So I reiterate my point that "well, actually"-ing about other kinds of abuse only distracts from the salient topic and undermines what women like Kager are trying to highlight.

How many of the people in jail are dangerous though? Versus something like possession of marijuana

And does the level of danger correlate to the criminal's wealth?
WHO Reverses Position on Lockdowns
Matt Taibbi has been focused on this lately. His theory is that polarization and writing for one side makes more money. He's done a few scathing articles about the mainstream media's abandonment of traditional media values of impartiality (as much as they can be) and not publishing innuendo and rumor.

Some of his work is pretty insightful, especially the time when the gov't leaked to a reporter, who wrote a story, and then the gov't got a search warrant by pointing to the article and saying "see, there is something here!".
Ah yes, it looks like you're right. The corresponding definition of Spotify Content is:

> Spotify Content” means any content, data, information or material made available through the Spotify Platform, Spotify Service or by Spotify. This may include, among other things, sound recordings, short-form videos, cover art, musical works, artist biographies, song lyrics, metadata, playlists, and user data

So it seems that the list of songs that the user "likes" is considered Spotify Content. Does any body know how far this goes? What if one tool accesses the API to extract the list of user's songs into a CSV file, and then a separate tool is used to automatically "like" a list of songs from a CSV file in a competing platform?

Does Spotify really own the (Artist, Song) tuples that make up a list of songs?
I didn't get the same vibe on, I don't know, Slashdot back in the early 2000's. Misconduct took the form of Goatseing and GNAA posting and such.

In video games and sports it's different. Making a sport of trash-talking in a video game (or, the NFL line of scrimmage) is a different thing than making lame posts on reddit. But with such behavior in video games, with teenagers playing them, combined with other online activity, it seems to have percolated.

I don't know, it could just be blinders. But I had a YouTube video go fairly viral in 2006, and it didn't have the bad "omg the YouTube comments" experience that people started talking about some years later. (On the other hand I could complain it got comments on my clothing, comments about my race, and offers of marriage, except, well, I enjoyed all of them.)
People should really retire the word "reptile". It's not monophyletic, and if you fix it so it is it includes mammals.
I can't imagine they would allow release of the criminals they currently don't allow release of. Many "dangerous criminals" are already allowed release if they have the financial resources for bail. (usually 10-20% of the actual bail amount)
It has nothing to do with "hating on the USA", it has to do with knowing the US acts in its own interests only, not those of other countries. (Why wouldn't it?)

The US Constitution means as much to people in other countries as the constitution of Russia or China or anywhere else means to Americans. It doesn't apply, regardless of how old it is.

The point about civil asset forfeiture is that if the US Constitution can't protect Americans against the US government or law enforcement, what hope does the rest of the world have?
I doubt you know much about welding then.

Like most professions you can become as skilled at it as you wish, depending on your willingness to work to get better. There are a lot of different types of welding, lots of different pieces of equipment to learn and master, and way more different materials to work with than most people realize.

Also, different situations present different challenges (like the fact that you have to be mindful of how your welds can warp the material).

I personally only know some the details second-hand (have professional welders in my family), but I know I'd want the guy with 20 years of experience over the one with 5, if I had something challenging I needed fixed.
Pro bono work has a purpose beyond the work itself. Side projects don't necessarily have any purpose aside from professional development.
This just gave me the incentive to switch off of Spotify now, that way it’s less of a pain 5+ years into the future. Thanks for showing your true colors, Spotify.
Of course, and so do plenty of programmers.
Heh, thanks, hope it helps somebody!
I have been thinking for many years, why doesn't Apple works with Carrier on this.

OS Update ( and may be App Update ) Download should happen during Midnight when everyone is asleep ( when the network is quiet ) and those Data should be exempt from their Data Allowance.

There are increasing amount of people with no WiFI or Wired Internet connection at home. ( Mostly because how convenient Mobile Phone and Network has become ), but they still need OS update. Software and Apps still take the view many features requires a WiFi.

5G will massively improve Network Capacity, but at the current rate of things it still take at least 4 years for most of the iPhone users to be 5G Ready. Which means we wont see any of these WiFi by default changes in the foreseeable future.
Turning off JS works too.
> the left in America is that its at least the arguably more humanitarian and ethical side.

That's superficially true of the left everywhere and probably why it appeals so easily to young people. It's main purpose is to stand up for the poor which makes it appear humanitarian and ethical. But it only feels good on the surface because the left is generally also opposed to market freedom and property rights that benefit everybody, including the poor, in the long term. The right wing's humanitarianism comes as a long term consequence of wealth creation rather than something they want directly.

Yes I will vote to keep the system as is because I believe it works generally. I’m willing to vote for progress but only without system breaking regression, sorry about that
But we already have that system, keep potentially dangerous people confined until their (ideally speedy) trial. We typically do this already. The only thing that's 'difficult' about this is that rich people would be stuck in jail with no way to buy their way out.
I've had interviews with take home assignment, nothing to big, like refactor and write unit-test.

Other interviews have been more a conversation about my resume, like it said I worked at X company with Z, Y technologies and just had a conversation about that.

Honestly I think this is enough, if someone managed to study at a university for 5 years get an engineering degree hold similar positions as the one you are applying to, why do whiteboarding, take-home etc. You can tell rather quick when you have a casual conversation if the applicant knows what they are talking about and also if you would like to work together. This is usually something you can tell after 5-10 minutes talking to each other :)
I used to work with a fairly large HPC environment which had a large number of NFS attached disks. One of the issues we ran into was unlink() on ext4; it could take quite a long time for large (TB..) files on busy servers. NFS would eventually timeout the request, the client would retry the operation, and get ENOENT back. It turned out that while ext4 blocked until it'd finished every detail of unlink(), the name was immediately removed from the filesystem namespace.

NFS is in the category of works well enough, but the edge cases are a mile wide!
This is also analogous to backcountry skiing/climbing risk management. Many expert climbers have died because they became too comfortable with the risks and make a novice mistake.

And "considerable" Avalanche conditions result in far more deaths and "high" or "extreme", because they offer just enough stability to allow skiers to build a false sense of security.

My point is just that professionals of these activities have developed frameworks for evaluating risk and I think it's interesting how they might be applied to other disaplines.
For scale: that’s about one deck for every atom in our galaxy.
No, it comes from wanting to leverage your asset to the fullest. But that's hard to do if it's full of cruft and getting in the way of actually delivering value.

More lines of code is not equal to better. What you need is better lines of code, which usually means less of them.

Let a dev loose on a codebase and they could add value, but they could also be subtracting it. Hmm maybe developers are the liability.
Unity is unlikely to unseat Unreal as the primary engine used by AAA games/movies, but it still has a decent share in both AAA games and movies.

Still, the game engine market is unlikely to be dominated by a single player anytime soon. I think you'll continue to see something that looks rather similar to the mobile OS space: lots of players, but ~2 dominate the space. Unreal's revenue cut is also a lot more prohibitive than Unity's, so you'll also keep seeing a healthy indie ecosystem (which translates to a community, assets, etc.) in Unity.

A lot of Unreal's recent investments are incredibly impressive. Especially with better rendering and realtime raytracing. But Unity is also making some big investments, DOTS (see https://unity.com/megacity for example) comes to mind in particular.
I have had a similar experience with my laptop that uses a Ryzen 5 Pro 2500U, it would crash once every couple days under Windows, but no such issue crops up using mainline drivers on Debian.

Pandas is pretty slow and since it loads into memory it can be totally infeasible for even relatively small data sets. The csv module it what one should compare it to imo.
There are plenty of valid reasons for detaining a suspect without bail [1]. Violent crimes, histories of violence, and repeat offenses all seem to trigger detention without bail at the federal level. It should also be noted that the subject of bail actually only appears once, in 18 sec. 3142(c)(B)(xii).

N.B. - This is federal law, I'm not going to try to dive into individual state law unless I'm being bribed with aged alcohol. Especially Louisianan law.

A telling quote from the article. Imagine being given this assignment. A writer would need to research this and report on it with utmost care and delicacy. Being firm enough in your findings to report the truth, but doing so in a way that doesn't burn the place to the ground. Interesting balancing act.

Also Hacker News: AMD is evil because they increase the size of the kernel by 10%.

Honestly, I think Nvidia made the right call by just focused on ordinary users who just want the card to work and can just focus on their work.

Why are we contracting out to a private business an actual sensible thing for the police to do? Law enforcement tracks down people with warrants why not issue warrants for people who skip out on court?
Yup. But it’s not very common.

Secret Chiefs 3 come to mind. They recently started selling ‘Geek Pack’ downloads for some of their songs. It’s a folder containing the hi-res stems for a given song. It also includes detailed notes on the song’s production. For a fan like me, it’s a very welcome look into their process.

A much more common approach is for artists to release an instrumental or vocal acapella to a song. It’s not uncommon for hip hop records to release entire instrumental versions of their albums.

One effect of this is that other rappers are encouraged to take the opportunity to rap their own verses over someone else’s instrumental. This occurs a lot in the tradition of rap mixtapes, which are halfway between albums of original music and riding on someone else’s beat.
> Traditionally the right was the party of values and the left was the party of freedom.

I presume you're talking about the US so I'll offer a European perspective: whatever about traditional standpoints, in recent times the "left" (democrats) are the party of values, lying somewhere right of center, while the "right" (republicans) are starting to toy with fascism but are currently merely quite far to the right in the region of oligarchy. You guys are in sore need of an actual left leaning political party to balance things out.

> f you consider the amount of RAM and processing power you have to have inside the monitor at 4K resolution

You need nearly zero memory inside an LCD monitor of any resolution. Technically all you need is 256 bytes for EDID and that’s it. You can drive the panel directly from the graphics card from DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort, often with a single format conversion chip.

In fact, Apple’s HD Cinema Displays were built using LG panels with a DVI interface built right into them (which isn’t the norm).
