as someone who was tasked with porting a cordova app to native (android), i can second this opinion (as a dev and user)

edit: sorry, i mistook "capacitor" or "cordova" (^_^;)
This is more malicious than just not focusing on offboarding. The easiest implementation would be to just delete the user account and abandon the data, slightly more effort would be to delete the data. Making it public with the legal disclaimers and all that takes effort and commitment.

We’re building a synthetic data tool for businesses who care about protecting their customers data. There’s untold value in data, but the ethical companies out there don’t want to risk violating their users privacy. Synthetic data that captures the statistical properties of real data but doesn’t contain any real information so can be used a safe alternative to raw data sets for analytics and testing.

We’ve raised £6m from Microsoft, Notion, Albion and Amadeus Capital. We’re now laser focussed on building our enterprise current customer base.

If you’re interested in working on blindingly hard problems that are worth solving for the good of mankind, all with a great group of people we’d love to hear from you.

There are many free AWS services. Off the top of my head:

- IAM

- VPC

- ECS

- Several SSM services

- CodeDeploy
Honestly, I think a shared server is enough for most people. And with that, the server is patched automatically. Wordpress on cPanel can autoupdate too...so really you don't have to worry much about that.
How is Brave better than Chromium with uBlock Origin, in this case?
Pretty sure the goal is to block 3rd party ads and tracking scripts. The goal was never "block all analytics". For example, I don't think Brave will by default block 1st party analytics either.
> However, FLASH/RAM volume has gone up hugely. This is in part because once you run out of logic to lay down in a chip you flood fill the rest with RAM and/or FLASH because hey the chip has to be big enough to hold pad landings for all of its pins. This has taken a lot of pressure off the code density thing and now it seems appropriate to look at algorithmic capacity.

I don’t agree. I’m working on a chip right now where NVM and RAM is extremely constrained. There will probably be many millions made, so it’s still relevant.

On the last chip I worked on, it was perhaps true to some degree. But that chip, even though it was a microcontroller, had a decent cache. Access to NVM is slow. And code density can have a significant impact on cache performance.

Big Data Is Saving Millions of Lives
I'd definitely fall into that box. But that website helped me understand why, other than being a lazy bum, I keep use google things. It's because:

1. Google has great products and they are "free". Airtable a drop-in for G-sheets? Count me out.

2. This is the sneaky part - zero onboarding friction. Want to try notion? Need to "sign up" or watch stupid video. Try google docs? COMMAND+L + doc.new

The last time I looked into this (about 3 years ago), it was ridiculously difficult to embed Gecko into anything, almost to the point of being impossible. Chromium in comparison is relatively easy to embed (via CEF or LibChromiumContent).
Unfortunately, that's susceptible to a sort of Pascal's mugging. People can come up with new conspiracy theories faster than you can give them a fair shot, because they're very easy to generate.
So is it rem0te or 0nsite?
I think it's been accepted at face value because all of the component parts are already available to the public: Mac Catalyst already allows iPad apps to be used on the Mac, and XCode's iOS Simulator already runs apps natively (by compiling to Intel rather than ARM).
Degoogling your life is incredibly hard because no competitor offers one-stop shop replacement for Google services.

In order for a competitor to do so they need to first tackle search (the hardest part) but also think holistically about replacing other big "points of contact" like Browser or Email. Because Google is not just search; Google has become the infrastructure of the web.
I don’t think there significant loss from abandoning Google, I stopped without really noticing any negatives. Gmail, Chrome, and Google Search used to have a significant advantage, but like most near monopolies Google stagnated without stiff competition and are from my perspective sub par at this point.

Give it another 3-5 years and they might turn it around, but as far as I can tell their still costing on reputation at this point.
I'm not a fan of these computations. If the computer functions, you should still be able to use it, regardless of how much existing use you get out of it.
Mozilla had an Electron alternative before Electron even existed. It stopped being a viable option several years ago, though. The reason is the same as for every other problem that Mozilla is afflicted with: incompetent leadership.

(Note also that the choice is not a dichotomy between Blink and Gecko. WebKit exists.)
> Rather than having your traffic logged by your local ISP, bound by the laws of the land and all the privacy regulations in your country, you send all your traffic through a third party based in a foreign country with no oversight whatsoever.

Is this in reference to tor?

I use brave because it's fast, compatible with chrome extensions, but a least a little bit disconnected from Google. Trackers and ads are blocked by default, and it's generally a nice browser.
You have to buy it first.
The objective reality exists and there are legitimate reasons for people wanting to have nothing to do with this company. Not everything is a bias.
All I can tell you is that when watching HTML5 videos on Firefox my CPU spins way up. On Chromium it does not.

Also yes in general every JS-heavy web app I've ever used runs much smoother on Chromium than FF.
I imagine for soccer the task of determining where the ball is based on player locations would be a lot harder than you think.
More or less bingo. It might be a few decades, but this is where we're headed. And I'd rank this as more certain and profitable than self-driving cars.

I don't think Disney will keep pace. This trend will cannibalize their IP and this level of tech competence isn't in their DNA.
Different Types of Amazon Robots
A 200,000 strong robotic empire is running Amazon's warehouses. From rolling robots, to robotic arms - they all work together in Amazon's smart warehouse system.
Twitter is a publisher. Anyone who controls a platform through a centralized structure is one IMO. The "host v. publisher" construction is purely courts tying themselves in knots so some can have their cake and eat it too.
I've started switching to u2f as my main method of authentication and 3rd party password manager instead of google's chrome one.

Those might be small steps, but the thoughts of google closing my account are filling me with genuine terror.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that you can upload your music to YTM but it isn't seamlessly integrated into your listened experience like it is on GPM.

Is that right? If so, that is losing the best aspect of GPM.
Tech illiterates tend to think of privacy first, when discussing Brave. Go into any geeky subculture not full of programmers, and ask about a privacy browser. Brave always comes up, the monetization model rarely does

That seems very odd. There's no reason why mail from any domain with good mail servers should just land in spam folders. You should investigate. Perhaps someone is sending spam using your domain?
Here's an interesting idea:

A build of KeePass that uses the OTG mode for autotype. You plug the Pi 400 into a USB port on your device (whether computer, console, or whatever) and the password file is never on the computer in the first place.

Edit to add:

Might work better with a tablet build of the Pi, though, and you'd probably still want it to sync the file to Dropbox or some other storage place for safety.
I think the key point Steve Jobs was making is that you don’t want a stylus as a requirement for interacting with the OS. As someone who used Palm OS, I totally get what he was talking about when iOS was released. A stylus for general interaction was not a good choice.

However for drawing and writing a stylus is very nice. But that is a much smaller user segment than those benefitting from a touch interface.

>>>from an EU point of view making a connection between house/car/food size and standards of living is baffling

Humanity has probably spent ~5,000 years with the aristocracy upgrading their dwellings to something larger and more permanent than a closet-sized hovel. Same for possession of personal conveyances larger and more capable than one's own two feet. We can debate whether it is healthy, or philosophically ideal, but it certainly isn't a uniquely American phenomenon, and shouldn't be baffling, when viewed in the context of human civilization's habits of material acquisitiveness.
From an investor standpoint, a marketing-first, usability-second (third, fourth maybe?) approach is clearly best. All you need to focus on is that next round of funding that pays off the previous round with a nice profit.
Can you elaborate a bit? I'm obviously interested. I just turn on Ads normally?
Absolutely. Ideally, you'd want both, "append only" and a vintage of the corrected historical data at every point in time.
And good metadata.
Not a ton of difference on desktop. You can sync without logging in, I guess, but that's pretty minor. However, I require that my mobile and desktop sync, and as far as I can tell you can't ad block Chrome on mobile.
How will the pandemic impact software programming jobs?
Interesting that you don't mention the BAT / pay for attention part of the equation, except as it relates to your own investment.
Even without cable boxes, basically every TV has an input you can plug something into, even if you've got one of the extremely old ones you can get an adapter.
https://doc.new leads to a sign up page for me.

Maybe Gmail was a trojan horse for Google accounts.
Fair point, and I agree audio is potentially more disruptive - especially if it can get to good real-time performance.
BMP has the ability to hold compressed data too; for example they can hold JEPG and PNG compressed images. I don't think it has the ability to hold arbitrary data though.

I've been using Collective (formerly Hyke) [https://www.collective.com/] which not only provides you your own Quickbooks account (to handle all invoicing) but also helps you set up your own S-Corp for better tax savings (if you're US-based) and navigate all the accounting duties. It's a monthly subscription service, but the time saved from not having to deal with accounting plus the tax savings from be set up as an S-Corp pays for itself. Just speaking as a happy customer for the past 18 months. They are extremely supportive and responsive; it's like having your own accounting team. In terms of invoicing, like everyone and you have mentioned, it does depend on the client. I usually invoice at the end of the month.

Feel free to message me for more guidance on getting situated as a freelancer and if you want to learn more about my experience with Collective. I was in your position and someone had explained all this to me instead of learning about it the hard way!
> An 8 year old kid with non-technical parents is not going to have an easy time of it compared to what is essentially a plug-and-play solution.

that's an entirely different argument, which I agree with you on. the original argument was that it's more likely a spare keyboard is lying around than a comparatively expensive monitor (which is more prone to being repurposed)

> mouse, .. HDMI adapter, SD card, ability to apply the Raspbian OS image to the SD card

these would still be required anyway, they're not included in the price
> That was pretty much my point.

It was, wasn't it. Heh.

I guess I'm basically saying that those folks bear at least some responsibility for their own ignorance. It's not like people haven't been trying to reach them and help them, eh?

> Anyways, I think in a way we are saying the same thing. Keep fighting the good fight.

Cheers! You too.
Essentially all the supposedly merchant SoCs are proprietary. Instead of shipping data sheets, winbond or mediatek want to ship you a reference design with reference linux or android build that only works because of a huge binary blob.

There’s a small hardware consulting company in Palo Alto whose main differentiator is that they have a bunch of folks in China who manage to generate docs they can use. I’m guessing this involves a lot of under the table leaks and late night alcohol-fueled discussions.
I did, and know a few that have. It's a slow, methodical process and I think as alternatives develop to each service, it will keep happening. These discussions help us distance ourselves one step at a time.

I've switched to brave as my browser (curious to see what the opinion is here of brave) DuckDuckGo as a default search engine.

Proton mail for most of my email, although I am looking for a better alternative.

I've backed up everything that I used to leave on drive, I although I still work on drive then download the files, I haven't found a good alternative here.

I have a OnePlus so oxygen os for Android.
> with no oversight whatsoever.

for many of us who grew up in 'third world' (and/or 'developing') economies, this is not in any way better to "heavily regulated". I expect that people from very corrupt ex-soviet states will agree with this sentiment.
I question duck duck go. Why am I getting ads everywhere for ddg? How are they honestly making enough money to take up billboards and tons of other ads? Willing to change my mind, something just doesn't add up to me, someone please explain
GnuCash is alright and was just laying around on the internet for free. I wouldn't mind having some styling options, but "functional" has been fine.

I’m not sure if you were asking a question or if you’re trying to lead the discussion in a particular direction.

Cardio doesn’t solely use cardio muscle, true, but your cardiovascular system is what you are targeting with the exercise and it does not need a recovery period, unlike other parts of your body you would exercise.

You can do intense cardio every single day, or at least nearly every day, because the cardiovascular system works differently from your skeletal muscles. You should not do an intense deadlift session every day, because your skeletal muscles need time to heal.

So I would in general not try to draw many comparisons between cardiovascular exercise and other types of exercise.
No, OP is comparing VPNs to Brave. With a VPN, you don't actually gain privacy, you only replace your ISP with some foreign-country entity that operates under foreign laws.

Brave is like that, but a browser. You replace Google/Firefox with a smaller, maybe slightly less watched, browser that still does the same stuff.
You are not wrong on some of your comments...which is why some time ago i set up a single-person account (with my own test domain) with zoho...to see if they're a viable replacement. I had used (and abandoned) a free zoho account like almost 10 year ago...but then read the following post, which re-interested me in zoho (though now via a paid account): https://kevq.uk/reasons-why-zoho-mail-is-better-than-gmail/

So far, a few months into my experiment, zoho is really working great! For a single-person approach, zoho's cost is really difficult to compete with; you're looking at $1/month, plus the annual cost of a domain name...which of course is not free, and to your point could add up if need more accounts (for family members, etc.)...But considering other options, it could be something worth considering.
One of the big problems is that if you have all of your eggs in one basket, there are much more chances to fuck up and get banned. If I post some shit on YouTube, that is unconnected to my Fastmail account. However, it is connected to my Gmail account. If I get Zucked from Facebook for posting dumb shit, and dependent on Messenger to communicate with people, I'm fucked. By diversifying your compartmentalise your risk.
Your iPhone is just suggesting you to take some cooking classes, no big deal. It's its way of helping.

"Google Drive is better than Duplicity and Carbonite"

This is an odd sentence because Carbonite is a provider and Duplicity is a backup software that you can point at many different providers.

So Google Drive might indeed be superior to Carbonite but that has nothing to do with Duplicity.

Further, there is almost universal consensus that borg is superior to duplicity. It has been called the "Holy Grail" of backups[1].

What you should probably be doing is:

1) using 'rclone' to move data between clouds[2] - either downloading it back to yourself or migrating it to a new cloud that you prefer.

2) using 'borg' to initiate, or replace, existing backups with encrypted backups that only you hold the key to.

As you may know, there is a cloud storage provider with this half-page privacy policy[3] that explicitly supports both borg and rclone[4] and has those tools built into their environment.

My Master's studies are almost done (I'm finishing the last chapters of my thesis) and I am looking for the next steps of my career. The simulations I'm writing for my Masters' are written in C++17, with Python for plotting the results. I am evaluating a Random Walk based solver for the Boolean Satisfiability Problem and studying the phase transition of random Boolean formulas.

This is simply not true. See plenty of other comments in this thread talking about actual rate cards.
Media networks are the only entities that can call an election on election night. States can't and don't do that. Therefore, Kavanaugh is either talking about (1) the networks "calling" the election or (2) he's talking about some fantasy world in which states certify their elections night-of. Either is lunacy and either flies in the face of originalism.

I have a lot of problems with NYT, including ideological problems, but to say it's just a partisan rag tells me all I need to know about this conversation.
