It would be great if this program could be a counterweight to the B-2 and F-35 debacles, but I still feel skeptical
I think there is also a difference between lock in and just using a service. If your primary email is Gmail, it's hard to switch and it's worse than YouTube. With YouTube, if Google decides to lock you out, you can more easily move to PeerTube or another service. I also recommend that if you create content for YouTube, you also upload it elsewhere.
The one feature I wish any other browser would do as well as Chrome is on-the-fly translation. I think Microsoft Edge does this using Bing Translate but I guess as none of the other browser makers have a translation service they can use they instead rely on a wonky extension that uses Google Translate which isn't anywhere near as smooth as the built-in translate in Chrome (naturally).

If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them as it is the only thing keeping me on Chrome these days.

In Europe, I think people know that you are unlikely to stop a project due to environmental reasons, but you might get a Judge to rule that the contractor has to move some wildlife or put tunnels where there was just going to be a cutting. It costs more money sure but in the scheme of it, probably not much in terms of %.
The EU/Germany has much better worker rights.
As an example of what the opposite pricing model looks like, YourBase[1] charges a flat fee per build such that it's in their best interest to make builds as fast as possible. Because of this forcing function, builds are instrumented and cached down to the system call level deterministically, based on file changes. It's amazing what economic incentive can do.

MathWorks | Senior Software Engineer | Natick, MA (Boston MetroWest) | ONSITE | Full Time

Hi I am hiring an experienced distributed systems software engineer interested in working on cloud based services as part of a product engineering team.

The product features we work on:

- go deep down the stack (k8s API, AWS API, kernel internals are all in our hot code path)

- require us to have a lot of ownership of the cloud infrastructure and container platform our services run on

- are composed of cloud based services designed for high availability and scalability

We use Golang, IaaC (prefer code over yaml, etc) and are big fans of automation.

MathWorks has an incredibly impactful mission and strong engineering culture. MATLAB and Simulink are used in robotics, aerospace, deep learning, medical devices and many many more engineering domains. You can read more here[0].

You can apply here[1], but feel free to reach out to me directly to learn more at dbeaulie@mathworks.com

NOTE: Position is remote for now, Natick, MA when we are ready.

I thought the punchline was going to be a wavenet-style audio deepfake for that segment haha, I had no idea it was a person doing it haha. It explains why they repeatedly said it was impossible for a _human_ to do a perfect impersonation.
Sure they have accepted, but it's the only way to save face. Let's not forget that they did put out press releases (that are still up btw [0] [1]) falsely claiming that "Officials were on site to verify all world record criteria was met -- including review of Dewetron GPS measurements" which then prompted Dewetron themselves to distance themselves and post several comments and their own statements denying that claim [2].

Only when evidence and press/public attention started increasing did SSC then miraculously also started finding inconsistencies in the videos, etc etc. But at this point, their only options were to either admit to their wrongdoing or go along and side with the people that, by this time, already had pretty damning reports and proofs that the evidence for the "record" was very sketchy. If you haven't seen, you should check out Shmee150's video [3]

So, to me this was either purposely done for attention/press or the SSC people were really incompetent at trying to break this kind of record without proper measurement tools and official/independent reviewers. Something like this should, imho, be done as professionally and with as much redundancy as possible before any wild claim is made and press releases issued. It should never have come to a point where a few car enthusiasts on youtube can, from just a video and basic math/physics and knowing your own car parts, figure out that your record claims are false or at least very inaccurate. It has never happened when Bugatti or Koenigsegg broke the records. But now, if you search for "fastest production car" on Google, you get a whole lot of SSC results so, in a way, I guess they have succeeded.

Um. What?

The case I think you're talking about (DNC v WSL) was literally about whether or not state legislatures can decide when to require ballots. Wisconsin's legislature decided election day. A lower court said this was unconstitutional, but it's not, so the majority opinion was for WSL.

Please show me where in this opinion the assertion was made that election results must be called by TV networks on election night.
arXiv as an alternative to Google Scholar is a bit misleading, since

1. arXiv does not feature any sort of metrics (h-index, citations count) for the author(s) and

2. Probably no author's complete list of non-informal publications would be available on arXiv, which is why it may not be the place to look for some obscure paper of said author(s).
I noticed the scrolling was janky as hell, guess that explains it. There should be a preference in Firefox to disallow websites to fuck with scrolling.

That file is new in Unicode 13. Also I think it might be based on Apple's behavior. I just tested every single emoji codepoint listed there, and it's almost entirely consistent with Apple's default rendering. And the very few exceptions (like ) actually seem to depend on whether the text renderer is styled or not, where it becomes emoji in styled fields (like Spotlight) and text in plain-text fields (like this comment box). This seems to only be done for the small handful of pre-existing text symbols that got turned into emoji and given the Emoji_Presentation property.
These anti-Google discussions come and go on the front page of Hacker News, but I'd be curious to know how many people actually degoogle their lives drastically after reading such discussions and articles.
I believe it's more of a case of "Oh my god, Google is so disgusting! Shame on Google!", and then people open up a new tab in Chrome to search on Google about their next restaurant destination as if nothing happened.

Or maybe I'm too pessimistic.

We need open ecosystems then. When I started using a Sandstorm server, it became a method I could share access to things from all sorts of applications through a single interface... but all of the apps and the platform itself are open source.

But the problem with locking yourself into a proprietary platform, be it Apple, Google, or Microsoft, is that in order to use service A, that you like, you may also have to put up with services B, C, or D, which suck. For example, you might love Google Photos, but if alongside sharing Google Photos with your friends, you have to deal with Google's endless stream of terrible short-lived chat services, that seamless ecosystem platform isn't really doing you any favors.
Your lack of punctuation and odd syntax makes me wonder, but if I understood your post correctly, you claim that building with AWS is somehow safer / more robust / more future proof than building with OVH? A technical judgement?

If so, I vehemently disagree. I've been a consultant for 10+ years too and seen 50+ companies from the inside, from startups to behemoths – including AWS itself.

Companies running a tight ship around resources were generally technically superior to those using AWS. "Hanging together by a thread" indeed, playing the AWS bingo of "use a flaky soup of 3-letter-acronym-services to cover technical inaptitude".

AFAIR the AWS versions of Spark and Elasticsearch were abysmal to the point of being unworkable. At least two years ago, maybe it's better now.
>Basically saying Europe's not corrupt, America is.

The construction business is prime real estate for corruption in Europe just as it is anywhere. And it's especially bad in some countries (Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, all of the Balkans).
Do you have anything to back that up?

I ask because I feel the same but don't actually have any proof that things are shady. It is just a feeling which obviously isn't enough to convince others but is enough to put me off using it the few times I've tried.

Something about all this 'rewards' stuff just feels dodgy. No idea why I feel this, I probably read something at some point but don't recall now.
I remember when I first got my Gmail address, what... 18? 19? years ago. Google was hot shit and everyone was like "Well if Google makes it it's got to be good!"

I don't think people actually believe that anymore they just feel they have no other alternative. Google had this wellspring of good will that they have simply burned over the last 10 years or so.

It was developers who originally made Google what it was - first to search, first to Chrome.

We can unmake it as well and I think it's about time we do.
Microsoft and Google are proven bad actors. I'm not much of a believer in 'the devil you know'.
You're not alone in this. I feel lucky to still have a job and one that is remote-first, but working alone in my studio apartment is really getting to me. My family is in another state and a lot of my friends don't live in a bike-able distance or have temporarily moved out of SF. My productivity has really been shot into the toilet.

One thing I'd really recommend is making sure that you exercise regularly. There are great apps like Zombies Run or Peloton (there are normal workouts - bike not required) that can give you a great workout. They also have hooks to keep you engaged (storyline, Peloton's community) and help you maintain momentum. Strava has also been a great way to see what my friends are up to in a way that's toxic like Facebook.
Same, I'm rid of Google except for Youtube. There are just too many creators I follow there that I really enjoy to give it up. A few upload their videos to Patreon (usually for early access) and I think if I ever manage to ditch Youtube that is how it's going to happen.
While mentioning distraction free alternatives, even Word has a full screen "Focus Mode", if that is the tool you have available or need to use for whatever reason.

Another useful tip: Word's Focus Mode, like some of the ones mentioned, goes to a Full Screen window. In Windows 10 you can set "Focus Assist" settings that will turn off all notifications that Windows is aware of and things like that whenever you are using a full screen application. (I believe that particular Focus Assist option is actually the default now, but it's easy to double check.)
The fact is that x86 has 4 decades of backwards compatibility which along with the PC architecture means a reasonably open and documented platform. Every ARM system is different and they are all lacking the heritage of public documentation that the PC has. In other words, it's not about performance but freedom. I doubt Apple will ever release as much detailed information on its own chips as Intel and AMD have.

x86 is plenty fast anyway, and still wins on code density in single-threaded scalar (i.e. NOT using the vector units) branchy code of the sort commonly found in average applications.

I use https://www.xero.com. My accountant can manage my accounts via their Xero login too which is handy.

Many of these platform have APIs you can use. I've created a few products off the back of them through tools I'm built for myself internally.

- https://www.inviewapp.com | Creates iCal feeds for your invoices and bills so you can see who owes what on your calendar (or in Slack). Works with most major invoicing platforms.

- https://www.quikk.co.uk | Backups and audits all your Xero data.

I'm sure you'd find neat ways to automate your workflow with whichever platform you end up opting for.

Sure, bedrock would slow a project down but it wouldn't explain the higher level of labour. If you are moving more slowly, you need less people to keep the supply chain moving, not more.

I saw a TV show with a standard Tunnel Boring Machine and it was about 5 men operating it (plus the automated materials feed). Even if they were paid $1M a year, it would still be loads cheaper than these tunnels are costing New York.
Young trees cannot not sequester amount of CO2 as mature forests. Not even close. And trends are showing that droughts will continue, so there will be not enough water for them to grow.
Limiting tracking with google is performative, as they still retain and use all of your data within their system to continue to 'improve our results' (generate revenue).

There are enough self-hosted options and third-party paid alternatives that the Google ecosystem lock-in isn't as useful as it once was to me.
Another option that can replace a lot of Google services is getting your own domain. You can get email with that, and install a bunch of applications to replace a lot of the services like photo sharing. Of course the downside is you have to maintain some of it yourself (but you can get an auto-updating Wordpress installation for sharing photos), and you don't get as much connectivity because you have to promote it yourself.

The advantage is that you don't need to worry about Google's whims to shut things down or change policies or whatever. Also typically with your own domain, you get more control over your email. For example, with cPanel you can program in a filter to permanently delete emails you don't want instead of sending them to the trash.
User agent string, among orhers, affects how often you get captcha.

For example Tor Browser with default user agent gets all the captchas, many rounds per.
Same Tor Browser with manually overriden normal Firefox UA barely gets any captchas.
Many of your email recipients will be Gmail, or its enterprise version.

So many email messages will be on Gmail even if you move away from Gmail.

It's not their bias against competitors that's my issue, it's their bias in believing that VPN is a credible long term solution to the privacy problems they highlight.

It's right there in their basic premise. I only use VPNs for one reason: to securely connect to a remote location and participate as a local client on their network.

For protecting your own privacy you're going to need an _entirely_ different set of tools.

Not if your usage of Google Play Music is to seamlessly mix your personal collection (Particularly one-offs, local bands, bootlegs, parodies, mashups, obscure artists, older music, etc) with a pretty full subscription service.

From what I've heard if you're on iOS you can do this with Apple Music, but that's about it. Everyone else seems to think their collection is good enough that you won't need anything else.

That is a pretty obtuse reference to use without explanation.

It’s also an odd choice because it feels weird to call an AI a “who”. Despite AI replacing some human tasks, as with the camera operator here, the technology is not at all what we would consider a person.
The barrier to switching is high. Things like Takeout really don't account for the frustration of switching your entire workflow over, getting used to new tools, getting everyone you know to connect to you on a non-Google platform, etc.

But if every time this sort of thing comes up, a few of the crowd are nudged to finally make the switch, eventually we'll pick up some momentum.

Back in 2013-2014, when I first started telling people switching away from Google was critical, people treated me pretty much like I believed in bigfoot and UFOs. In 2020, a lot of progress has been made, even if it doesn't feel like it. Perception is changing, and the legal system is finally starting to catch up.

That's not correct.

While there can be unfair terms, which are then unenforceable, if a tenant and landlord explicitly and freely agree that the tenant will pay for something or do something this isn't necessarily invalid as this can be interpreted as being consideration (i.e. what the tenant agrees to do in exchange to be granted the lease). Certainly there is no loss of "right to get courts to enforce your lease" or "other protections".
