I saw something like this recently. I right-clicked to copy a link in a message, pasted to chat and it was google.com/url?url= like link.

I'm not able to repro at the moment. I manage a few domains in G, I'll keep poking.
That argument of "just go and make another platform" is misled anyways: Even if I build another platform: Twitter is still the primary communication channel of the US President. Which means that all secondary users (interested citizens, journalists, ...) hang out there as well. Thus whoever they block there or not has an impact, even if my competitor has a few hundred million users.

> Rackspace is very mature

Nahhh - it went public and everything is a race to the "bottom line" while exec/investors skim money off of the company vs. re-invest in an ever-changing market. Their stagnation has effectively put them back in the crib maturity wise.

It's not surprising when a company goes public and everything becomes about the almighty dollar first, and any sort of technical/support excellence second. Seen it happen time and time again in tech...

Vendor problems... amirite?
This may not directly relate to monopolistic behaviour - but I remember once (pretty recently) when Jack/someone in his team revealed a screenshot of an interface in their backend that literally allows them to control public mood and opinion- such as trends, shadow banning, etc.
To me, that is scarier than just being a monopoly. Imagine, you pull the right switches during an election campaign that could sway public opinions in the last minute (regardless of the political party you support).
How they aren't under serious scrutiny after releasing such interfaces to the public is a grave concern to me.

To be clear, a solution like that would not be nearly so easy to set up and modify as OpenWRT is, correct? OpenWRT has so many powers, I'm always thinking of something new to do with it. But I'm not a networking expert, and without OpenWRT, it seems like setting up a normal distro to do that stuff would be overwhelming, and take up many more hours than I have to give.

Is there a normal distro that is already set up similar to OpenWRT out of the box?
I hate the Google redirects because they are noticeably slow. They did more to move me off Hangouts than anything else. They also plague Google News, but AMP is slowly "fixing" that problem.

The visual interface for workflow definition is more hassle than benefit. The majority of such applications' complexity is not in the sequencing of operations but in state management, expressions, data manipulation, parameter passing, and retry policies. None of this is visible in the diagram. So engineers have to use UI/DSL to design the flow, but then implement most of the complex logic in non strongly typed code as parameter passing is usually using a map.

Temporal represents all the business logic in one place in the programming language of your choice. All parameter passing is strongly typed.

I see people advocating visual representation for workflows. But if it is so great for programming in general, why they don't advocate the same for systems programming, for example? Linux kernel in JSON/XML anyone?

> but Stadia isn't too bad of an idea

I used to think that, but I think computers will get cheaper faster than latencies will get better.

Look at Xbox. Anyone who can afford stadia, would much rather just buy a cheap loss-leader Xbox. Unlike industry compute (where the perks of AWS/Azure/GCP far outweigh having on-premises hardware), gaming is incredibly well suited to having on-prem hardware.
> Bolsonaro helped them too?

He's giving them medals now.

> I don't know if you understood what I meant, but I'm Jewish and because of antisemitism, which we have back in cities like in Berlin or Paris, I don't feel there safe there as I felt in Sao Paulo.

I don't know if you understood that it's your feeling, not a fact.

There are more nazi and nazi heirs living in Brazil than in the rest of the World.

If you feel safer in Sao Paulo than in Berlin, it means you are part of an elite that is not affected by Sao Paulo criminality.

“Massacre the Jews, God, hit them with your sword, for they have left God, they have left the nations. ... God, what you have done in World War II, you must do again, this is what we ask for in our prayers to you: Justice, justice, justice!”” Pastor Tupirani da Hora Lores shouted at dozens of congregants earlier this month at his Geracao Jesus Cristo church"

Have you got news of something like that in Berlin?

Did Bolsonaro said something about it?

> You don't idea about the CSU/CDU parties (party from Germany) in Germany. But again, no reference, just the socket puppet in the internet saying.

I sure have, I'm Italian, part of my family moved to Germany soon after the war and lived in Berlin myself.

Frau Merkel surely didn't ever support anti-semitic or anti democratic groups or movements.

Anyway CSU and CDU are two very different beasts, just putting them together shows that you are just trying to spew propaganda.

> You are trolling with a lot of "factoids" to support your agenda

I have no agenda other than stopping your BS about Bolsonaro the great democratic president.

He is not.

He is a dangerous man.

With dangerous ideas.

> What make you angry are stuff like:

No, it doesn't.

North Korea style propaganda doesn't affect me, sorry.
Nope. Big IT (which is highly creative stuff) cannot be built top-down, only bottom up. Europe is and will be an IT wasteland.
As for the fonts, you can easily change them in the settings. The other nice thing about Firefox is how easy it is to change it's look. I used this https://github.com/muckSponge/MaterialFox for some time to make Firefox look like Chrome (I've been using this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-chrome... at the moment), but there are loads more tweaks you can make. There's even a subreddit dedicated to it https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS
This article is garbage.

Nowhere in it does it substantiate the claim in the title. The best you get is this speculation from a "scientist" presenting no evidence:

Im back to FF for almost a year now. I am experiencing a lot of hiccups, freezes and crashes. I think FF should concentrate to improve the browser first and foremost. They’ve been adding a lot of useless (to me) features but the broswer is still buggy. It’s their time to claim their market back from chrome, or it will start happening soon and I think they should just concentrate on the browser.

To be fair, that happens on both sides of the Atlantic.
ust is a timestamp. usg is probably some kind of HMAC (q || ust, secret) so that only google can generate the redirecting urls. If you change the usg, the redirection fails. The same happens if you change ust or q.

Yes, I think he is talking about the data-saferedirecturl attribute. He's not wrong though, as the redirect stored in the attribute is loaded when you click a link.
It’s a very valid question but it’s just a bit timely since Mitchell tweeted a few days ago about how most of HashiCorp cloud is built on Temporal tech.

Disclaimer: head of product at Temporal. Temporal is not container orchestration and is not an infrastructure management tool. In most cases users run Temporal on top of Kubernetes.

Temporal provides a distributed experience which is decoupled from the reliability of any specific piece of hardware. We provide a programming model for writing distributed applications without needing to code around all points of failure. We still are working on what to call the tech exactly, it’s not something that is widely known by any name today. It’s sort of like virtualized distributed computing.

Ha! apt-get had 17 vulnerabilities in the last few years, two of them with very high severity score, easily exploitable [0]. For example:

CVE-2019-3462 Incorrect sanitation of the 302 redirect field in HTTP transport method of apt versions 1.4.8 and earlier can lead to content injection by a MITM attacker, potentially leading to remote code execution on the target machine.

[0] https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-23/p...

Edit: many of the CVEs for apt-get are in the "bad pki" class, all of them are "severe" as they allow malicious code execution:

CVE-2009-1358 apt-get does not check for the correct error code from gpgv

CVE-2011-1829 APT does not properly validate inline GPG signatures

CVE-2011-3634 APt accepts connections when the certificate host name fails validation

CVE-2014-0478 APT does not properly validate source packages, allow installation of Trojan horse packages by removing the Release signature.

etc etc.

Facts of life: all software contain an uncountable number of severe vulnerabilities. It is unfair to single-out openwrt IMHO.
On the flip side, the more dangerous and difficult a situation, the more difficult it is to give honest and accurate timelines.

In the extreme, your demand would doom governments to fail to manage any serious crisis.

Good point. I'm surprised they don't offer a noise-canceling option.
Hitler banned Jews from possessing guns in 1938.

Russia passed gun control legislation in 1929 coinciding with the beginning of Stalins rule.

Italy's current gun control laws date to the fascist period, notably the public safety act of 1931.

Cuba's gun laws are classified as highly restrictive.

How it looks in Brazil after the decree:

"Getting permission to buy a gun in Brazil still requires a lengthy process — including a mental health assessment and a criminal-background check — that can drag on for months. But shooting ranges and gun stores started to see an uptick in business, even before the new rules went into effect."

So you can have a gun at home, but no carry is permitted.
Ask HN: What are you having trouble with in machine learning projects?
Hi,

Assuming you do it professionally, how do you go about your machine learning projects? What is your workflow? What tools do you use and why?

How is your team organized? How do you collaborate and hand-off each piece of the puzzle? How do you handle data, develop your models, track experiments, deploy and manage your models, etc.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Disclosure: we're building a platform for our own needs for now, but I'm interested in how people who are more sophisticated and organized do it.

Thank you,

You would be given those shares yes.
I can't reproduce this either, so I'll ask maybe a simple question: how does URL-rewriting benefit Google in this situation?

Google already knows the bodies of emails and can do whatever analytics they please on them. The vast majority of users are also using it via their web client, meaning that Google can put arbitrary JavaScript on the page to record which links are being clicked on. They already have most of the metadata that they could scrape from a rewritten URL, since you're already on their property. It's possible that I'm missing something, but it feels like it's a lot of effort for information that Google already possesses.
These types of social interactions aren’t fungible. There are a finite number of viable social interactions to be discovered. Once discovered, network effects push towards consolidation to one platform offering that experience.

If you consider “social media” as a market, it has healthy competitive landscape. If you consider different styles of social interaction as separate markets, they’ve cornered markets. I don’t see competition in these spaces. Facebook != Twitter, and I feel that is why both can exist. Behemoths in neighboring spaces opt to buy a social experience instead of trying to compete with their own.

The missing piece, IMO, isn’t regulation around “censorship” for these platforms. It’s regulation that results in a rich market of products around a single style of social interaction. Example: regulation around interoperability.

With a PoW blockchain you do not need to trust the genesis block. You can calculate the total amount of work represented by any blockchain which provides an independent measure of trust. Total proof of work can be calculated with just a copy of the blockchain data without trusting the software client. Nothing like that exists with proof-of-stake.

If the assumption is that downloaded binaries must be trusted, one could simply use a key embedded inside that binary to verify the identity of a centralized database. No need for proof-of-stake.

I want to tell Google where I live so I can say "ok Google, navigate home" and get directions home without having to touch my phone. If there's a phrase that gets hands-free directions for starred items without having to say the whole address, Google doesn't make that easy to figure out.
Congratulations and good luck my friend!!
I would definitely recommend using 2 email addresses. Pick one for your important stuff and another for spam (give this out to merchants and what not). Protonmail works but there are others. Also realize that you are not going to self destruct if you miss an email from migrating as long as you cover the most important contacts. It can actually be a good spring cleaning exercise.
You can check the samples to estimate the quality.

Their claims around privacy seem pretty hand-wavy to me; I’d love to be wrong.

As an example, their usage of DNS is simply DNS-over-HTTPS against the big public resolvers in a round-robin fashion: https://github.com/tholian-network/stealth/blob/X0/stealth/s...

The code doesn’t strike me as concerning itself with protecting privacy so much as changing who will get to log your traffic. Interesting effort though; I’ll hope for more details from them in the future!
These projects must be doing something. In the end there are people coming over to work, and well... working on them... another example:

Congrats on getting your project to the MVP stage. Right now the landing page seems to do a reasonable job (IMO) at pitching the 'WHY' as you've laid out in your comment here, but as it stands it doesn't showcase the how/what.

Per q1, Meetings at my organization currently tend to be pretty freeform, so I can't say if it's a problem that really needs solving, though I'd personally appreciate if things had somewhat more structure as described by your MVP.

Per q2/4, without signing up, it's not entirely clear. I'd recommend the getting started page either having more detail or having a learn more page which shows the workflow your application provides with basic screenshots prior to requiring a sign up. As per the application itself, the way you describe the 'WHAT' here seems like you may need to be cautious about the scope of the application. Typically organizations will have existing tooling for meetings to occur in (just a normal conference room reservation, slack, teams, gotomeeting, etc, etc, etc). The pitch of the idea seems to have your project being an organizational tool on the side, so creating meetings/inviting individuals is likely being done elsewhere and the tooling you provide would fall into managing the flow of the meeting.

Per q3, given that meetings are not currently managed in this style my current org would likely not use such a tool even at no cost.
Me too. Noticeably slow is a bit of understatement. Often times, I have to wait >4s for a redirect, which is kinda infuriating, given that I know it's not the issue of the actual website, just google messing with the URLs.

Why does all the SPDY nonsense matter when Google adds huge latency in other ways.
Yeah, but that can still create a situation where you can create WALs faster than they're uploaded. (And if there's a good solution to that, I'm interested, because we ran a server out of disk this way last month at work)
"Germany 1932 was massive mess. It was not rational place in a lot of ways. It was also quite violent place."

I know, there was hyperinflation in 1920s and there were violent conflicts and confrontations between right nationalists and left communists. I think huge negative influence was Soviet Union exporting communist revolutions in European countries which eventually escalated to civil war in Spain and almost a civil war in Germany. But Hitler and his ideology were a product of First World War and not a product of unstable Germany or unstable Europe.
That was a fun and interesting read, thanks for sharing.

Does anyone know of any EU-region surface weather maps, or are these notations specific to NA based weather maps?
I can reproduce it on gmail.com

Google seems to hide this via Javascript.

To reproduce in Chromium:

Enable dev tools, enable "Preserve log", go to settings and enable "Auto-open DevTools for popups".

Then click on a link in a mail.

Now you can see under the Network tab, that the new window did not go to the link you clicked but to a Google redirect url.

I guess Google outputs a normal link in the html but then intercepts the click and sends you to their tracking url.

As nobody seems to be able to reproduce it for IMAP, I guess that either A) the author is in an a/b test group that got targeted with the tracking links or B) he uses an email client that uses some other protocol or C) He is outright lying or D) Something else.

My money is on B. The author says on Twitter he uses mail.app on a Mac. I would not be surprised if the developer of a hip shiny Mac app happily used the newest shiny API from Google.

Can someone with a Mac and that app reproduce it?
