Does this work for separating Google accounts?

Right now I use safari, chrome, firefox, and edge to keep the four identities I use for different projects separate thanks to Google not playing nice at all with the GCP account you are using not being the primary Google Signin.

And where criticism is substantive, that's valuable. It isn't in this case, and it's hardly dishonest to keep subjective preferences in their place: within our own heads.

There's a culture of reflexive criticism in intelligent communities, and I think it has negative side effects we haven't acknowledged. Yeah, it feels good to give one's full-throated opinion without bothering to edit oneself, but we build a better world with more encouragement and more restraint when it comes to nitpicking.
The whole point of having a JSON type is to do away with needing a fixed schema, no? If you need to constrain the format of the JSON object, why not just represent it with more DB-friendly types in the first place?

Hey HN! Mike here, co-founder & CEO of Grain.

As of today, we're removing the waitlist for Grain 1.0 and releasing an all-new Windows app (in addition to our existing Mac app)!

Let me know if you have any questions. I'm a pretty open book and love talking about the nitty gritty of start-ups.

So what is Grain?

Grain makes it easy to record, transcribe, and share the best parts of Zoom video calls in seconds, not hours.
Also network effects. Facebook and Twitter aren't king because of their scalability, they're king because you use Facebook/Twitter to connect with the two billion people who are already on Facebook/Twitter. Not even Google managed to sustain a competitor to Facebook.
That's pretty good, in optimisation, 5% at a time is a good win.

For anyone interested in writing “for real” (professionally or as a hobby) I highly recommend John Scalzi’s blog [1]. He’s cynical, he’s funny, and above all he’s practical.

Among his advice over the years a few things have really stuck with me:

1) Don’t get an MFA, it’s a waste of money. If you need a grammar class, take one. If you need more of a basis in x literary genre because that’s what you want to write in, take a class or just read a ton in that genre.

2) Set up the habit of writing. If you don’t write a lot of crap on a regular basis you’ll never write anything. You will throw away a TON of what you write, but it’s only by writing that 99% of crap that you’ll find the 1% that’s worth keeping.

3) Don’t quit your day job. You will never, ever, ever write for 8 hours a day straight. Rather than sitting around depressed all day because you haven’t written anything worth a damn, you may as well have a basic 8 to 5 office job that pays the bills, health insurance, etc. Not only does it remove money as a concern, but it gets your mind off of the fact that you haven’t written anything good and frees up your creative juices for that next scheduled writing period.

4) Don’t be pretentious and refuse to write anything that isn’t “pure” or “worthy”. All the advertisements you see and brochures you read are written by someone. Being persuasive with your writing can pay really well and give you the security to pound out that next great American novel.

There's the Multi-Account Containers addon for this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

And also the Temporary Containers addon if you want cookies, local storage, and history cleared automatically:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...
In addition to showing the container color, the context menu options to reopen a tab in a container work just fine with tree style tabs.
In another fun note, I've actually been rate-limited by Instagram for how many unlikes I've been doing to try and get rid of all the trash likes they've done using my cookie. Absolute garbage fire.

And who knows what other stuff they've done with basically being able to be logged into any site you are?

Trains are hard to notice because they blend with the color of the line too much. But the idea of the dynamic map is neat.
I was wondering the same. Evidence for this would be atolls having formed around volcanoes prior to the rapid fluctuations in sea level, but according to this article, at that time corals formed flat-topped reefs.

Decades ago, Hans Hass noticed that some atolls did not fit Darwin's model, and proposed that these formed because of better nutrient flow around the edges, but the prevalence of these flat-topped reefs suggests that is not the main story, either.
I use the 'Containerise' plugin along with the following configuration (which I am constantly tweaking) to keep the big tech companies isolated from each other and the rest of the web.

I'm also increasingly using it to keep their various properties isolated from each other (eg. keeping Bing separate from the rest of Microsoft) to reduce tracking even further.

You get the idea. Really powerful.
CPython could implement an alternative, more efficient FFI (such as e.g. the one by LuaJIT) which would not slow down PyPy. So people could gradually migrate.
I think parent is talking about the Tobii. I was also very very excited about it (I can’t find a mouse or trackball that won’t give me hand or shoulder or wrist pain) but then I saw it only works on windows... and nothing else. No Linux support. So that’s a no go.

If someone knows of such a device for Linux, I’d love to hear about it!

legitimately ticketed or cited for doing something

It starts with the word "legitimately". There's a good number of towns in North Florida under consent decree for financing themselves via tickets from motorists that are passing through. The towns set up speed limits on major roads that had nothing to do with road safety and everything with fleecing travelers. You'd also think that the local cops would try very hard not to stop anyone who looks as if they might attract the Fed's attention. That leaves the poor and indigent - business as usual.

Also in today's news: the DOJ reached a settlement with Purdue Pharma. Yes, totally legitimate, all within the confines of the law.

I think their point is that the holders of the money after ICO can easily get away with doing nothing and just extract the funds. In reality, their payment is not tied to the interest of the coin holders, legally, or for the sake of their reputation. They can be anonymous.
What could the consequences be, other than the awarding of damages?

It's not easy to calculate actual damages for the three years of use, because the violation was only that the modified source code was not released.

The idea is that the users of a service are being harmed by not having access to the source code. If none of the users asked for the source code over three years, it's hard to establish a case for damages.

If the original author of the AGPLed software is not actually a user of the site, he or he has also not suffered any damages.
Would that actually work? Don't notifications cause your browser to communicate regularly, in the background, with the site?

Would you actually want your browser doing that?
It's not in the number of the products, it's in the scale of each of those products and the influence that they give them.
It's the topic of the Epic lawsuit, which is the one where most of the discussions took place, because the new one is only a couple days old.

But it's the same general principle here. If Google uses Android to cement Chrome's as the only browser engine, consumers are harmed because they lose access to potential competing browsers that might e.g. respect privacy more. And the fact that iOS exists doesn't much help because they're even worse -- Chrome is the default on Android but at least you can install real Firefox, whereas on iOS they're all skins over Safari. So a third party has nowhere to take hold.
I love the general idea behind the container (sandboxed browsing). However, I'm not clear on the exact privacy benefit relative to the much easier path of blocking 3rd party cookies in your browser of choice and installing uBlock Origin. What specific tracking is no longer possible using containers that is currently possible if you're using one or both of those protections?

Is it something about 3rd party scripts that uBlock Origin doesn't block by default and that don't require 3rd party cookies?

I'm not looking for a general answer about containment or sandboxing or a nice user experience for separating environments or profiles; I'm looking for a precise attack/tracking vector that makes this worth switching browsers for.
It seems to be based on this maybe? https://www.datanyze.com/market-share/online-video--12/youtu...

Apparently YouTube has 2,485,221 "websites" and Vimeo has 624,352. I have no idea what a website is in Datanyze parlance and can't find anything on their website that explains it. I'm also not sure what the pie chart is which seems to suggest they only have half the market between them while their market shares add up to 92.28%.
Pretty much every non-criminal civil infraction has a misdemeanor counterpart that the cops can use at their discretion.

Driving traffic speed on a highway is usually a misdemeanor unless you live somewhere with reality-based speed limits.
The spark.sql("""select ... from some_name ...""") bit is how to write pure SQL from the Scala or Python execution context. If you're in the SQL execution context, this syntax isn't required. I never write Spark code like this.

At first glance, the F.col(), .withColumn() syntax isn't as intuitive as pure SQL, but it has a lot of advantages when you get used to it. You can make abstractions, use programming language features like loops, and use IDEs.

I find the PySpark syntax to be uglier than Scala. Lots of teams are terrified to use Scala and that's the reason PySpark is so popular.

> Is this a typo? I would certainly hope that a search for "prolog web framework" would not include results about a web framework written in Nim named "Prologue"

Unfortunately not. It's caused by fuzzy matching and happens with other words (and languages) too. Annoying but I don't think we should start avoiding certain words because google search (and some people apparently) can't make the distinction.
Don't they still track people even without an account?
I happen to think it should not be the motto of the United States. In part because I don't think the Government should be trying to define what God is or is not.
Correlation being 0.8 means that R^2 is 0.64. A test that can only explain 64% of the variance in its result based on the fact that I am still me is suspect.

> This places exactly zero constraints on the utility of IQ tests. Instead of asking why group A scores higher than group B, I can simply ask why group B is impaired relative to group A. Apparently that should be enough to convince you of the validity of the comparison.

I said significant impairment. I don't mean significant in the statistical sense but in the sense of "wow that's really noticeable". Basically any test of aptitude can be used to detect lead poisoning, or the impacts of brain tumor removal, for example.

Please answer my request though, in which contexts do you think IQ suffers from denialism?
The thing about Javascript is it's actually a very simple language. You can make a lot of guarantees and this means performance patterns can be implied.

Ultimately JS can be reduced to a very tight engine. This is not possible with Python, it's just too dynamic.
Ah. I understand. Thanks for clarifying.
Would people actually do this? Any context in which "having participated in this huge thing" would be valuable (such as a job interview) would require the person to explain their role in such "huge thing". This can backfire awfully if the answer to that is "I replaced « I'm with I am ».
This is currently being remedied as we speak:

I'm a big fan of Scrivener (the mac version) for my writings. Not only fiction, but also academic writings, or organizing projects with custom templates.
But besides that I think the post lacks a bit of information. For an article about writing, it's pretty basic and feels as if it's written and posted only to create some content and traffic for the website.
If they have this ability, why doesn't every website get its own 'container tab'?

Secureframe Raises 4.5m to help businesses speed up their compliance audits
That makes perfect sense, but at least for me, sometimes it can be challenging to figure out what metrics are important and what is acceptable vs. not. For example with bounce rate - what is realistically a good bounce rate for a given sector? Even if you have a decent bounce rate, is it converting to actual sales? If it's not, then is that bounce rate really "good". The struggles of trying to manage SEO as a fourth or fifth hat =). Thank you again and will definitely reach out!
Huh, isn't that just a normal caching HTTP proxy like Squid?

If 2 sites both use jquery.cdn/1.3.4/jquery.min.js, your browser should have it in the cache, or alternatively your caching proxy server would just serve you the bits it already downloaded earlier.
> I'd class myself as a high functioning introvert

Hah, I'm stealing that phrase to describe myself too!

I've never "formally" done pair programming, but have sat and coded/reviewed with colleagues for short stints, and generally found it OK.

From time to time I have to do full days (or several days) of workshops, and find those really tiring and emotionally draining. I always think I fare better 1-1 with people though, so if pairing was a necessity, I'm sure I could adapt.

> The government can be more evil than Google and Google can still be evil. Does that mean we should not care that Google is evil?

You're conflating two things.

1. The government is more evil than Google.

2. Google may still be evil.

therefore... use the more evil thing to fight the less evil thing?

I disagree with this assessment.

I'd say we should focus on mitigating the _most_ evil thing, using _less evil_ tools.

> The government is the only tool we have to fight Google.

The missing piece here is - we have plenty of tools to "fight google". Everyone could up and leave, stop using their service, and boom. no more revenue. Google is gone, irrelevant, de-monopolized.

The government is indeed the only _coercive_ tool available to fight Google, because the government can make credible threats of violence against the Google leadership.

There are plenty of other non-coercive tools we can use to "fight" google, and it's called "competition".

For example, notice that we're talking about Google right now, and not Microsoft. This is because Google "fought" Microsoft's monopoly by _making better tools_.

I cannot wait to see what company comes along and beats Google at their own game.
It is plainly true, and if you have any dispute about this, you really need to get off the computer, go outside, and get a grounding in reality.
In what country do you live? ISP monopolies and dysfunctional health care system are discussed constantly. Maybe it just means the people don't have the power they think they do to change things and influence policies.
Other than convenience, what, if anything, do containers have over doing what I do - always opening a private window/incognito in Chrome, go to facebook and log in?
That depends. CSS prototyping is usually easier in Firefox. For example grid editing, flexbox, shape path editing.

I mostly switch to Chrome when debugging PWA. Other then that Firefox gives me better UX.
Most python apps don’t function well enough for my purposes.

Do you have experience as a professional writer? I'm curious, how you think a person without a degree on journalism, writing, etc, can get a job writing? I'm a software engineer, by the way.

Not that I'm interested in changing my career or anything, but your comment was interesting and I do like writing, so I think it's worth knowing!
It's not that. Yes it's all electrical and chemical and electrochemical and so on. The problem is not with finding a good visual/logical representation.

You usually don't see connections between different things when you aren't actively looking for them, or when you haven't seen/thought those things to be related in the past. Since CPUs were designed by humans, your logical reasoning would usually work well when reverse engineering one, especially if you know the general ideas of how integrated circuits are constructed and what functional blocks a CPU is made of. Nature, on the other hand, has no logic. Your reasoning doesn't work with natural phenomena, and that's exactly what we're seeing in areas where experimentation and direct observation is hard, infeasible, or impossible.
