> There is a lot more porn on Youtube and Facebook

Seems unlikely. I presume you have a source for that assertion. And anyway, as I said, Visa and Mastercard acted in response to allegations of illegal content not just the fact that there was porn

> leftist activists and extortionists who make lots of noises in the "respected" media outlets

I think that might just be in your head.
The most important one for us is credential management: say you do most of your work using a CI/CD pipeline but you need the AWS CLI to run reports, troubleshoot, etc. If that means you have credentials floating around in ~/.aws/credentials, there's a risk that an attacker could exfiltrate those. If you use a short-term credential system to load them via SSO, you have more infrastructure to maintain. If you setup a bastion host, you need to keep that secured because it's a really high-value target and might allow an attacker to get higher access credentials than the person they compromised if there are any mistakes on setup (common in what I've seen - internal infrastructure is often neglected compared to production servers)

None of that is something which can't be solved, of course, but this is a nice way to avoid having to deal with O&M yourself, which is the point to a lot of cloud services.
Fortunately I had email bounce notifications setup and to a none gmail address, so had time to stop the email queue.
From what I have read, their margins are non existent. They are not aiming to turn a profit right now.

Hard to know, considering that said extensive training/practice is not as well-known as other basketball-related training, and that the practice of fielding players who would benefit from it is discouraged.

That said, a quick search of "training to dunk 5'6"" on Youtube brings up a number of videos.
> they can't really break chromeOS

You'd be surprised.

They can (and will):

- install crapware extensions

- allow notifications from random shady sites, which will then make them install more crapware extensions

- change their default search engine (and a lot of data that Chrome sends goes to the default search engine, e.g. keystrokes in the address bar)

It doesn't break the OS per se, but it still results in "my computer has a virus" support calls.
Definitely prefer the simple hiring solutions. Best of luck with it!
But you don't pay for these things. You pay for a class of ancient benefactors of one huge ponzi scheme.
Ah, apologies, you're right to pick that up, it's not quite what I meant. Maybe "where the data originates" is better?

Since the data originates where you are, the data has crossed a border to get to Texas and is therefore subject to GDPR (extra-territorially), I agree.

If you were in Texas when that data was collected from you, and you returned to the EU, I doubt that GDPR would apply to that data.

Tensorflow 1.0 has its roots in how Theano was built. Same thing, a statically built graph that is run through a compilation step, with a numpy-like API. So what makes Theano such an ingenious concept while TF is regarded as “programming through a keyhole”?
What you're calling de-gentrification isn't really the opposite of gentrification. Gentrification is the destruction of long-standing neighborhoods and the displacement of poor people, who may have no good place to go and lose their support structures. Often, those poor people rent their homes/apartments, and so they don't benefit from the increase in prices. Their rent just goes up until they have to leave.

Rich people fleeing doesn't bring them back. Whatever they suffered in displacement is just sunk. In the very long term it may form part of a new cycle of gentrification, but only after the neighborhood has lost a lot of its old value and is usually accompanied by the kinds of desperation that poverty causes.

So it's not a good thing -- though you're right that this study is so dubious that it may not even really be an issue.
If a pro photographer is on an assignment, sure they're almost certainly going use a high-end camera--probably a full-frame DSLR/mirrorless. But a ton of "serious photographers" aren't always on a photographic mission and, for them, something they have on them anyway that they can take good photos with anyway is pretty attractive.

I'm "serious" for some definitions of the word and I definitely don't bother to haul around a dedicated camera as much as I used to.
>Slowing down the state and empowering community is always bad for equity, because the community is where inegalitarian traditions live.

The community in which the author lives must exist in an alternate universe where the state is efficient and egalitarian. In the community where I live (NYC) the Mayor's incompetent wife has been appointed to run a billion-dollar agency. Central planning is neither useful nor efficient when the planners are stupid and corrupt.
This. Companies cannot feel emotions.
This is just the beginning. Finally we can do the kind of web performance improvements we couldn't do on the old platform. But to boot, we gained 10-20% on the First Render metrics.
And because of the whole new way we deploy, we went from a 27% hit ratio (of popular pages) to 96% in the CDN. That means ~70% of the time you gain about 300-500ms on the initial load.
And besides, before, cold cache misses in the CDN would result in a backend server rendering whereas now a cold cache miss just means an S3 lookup.
What’s best for a company could include doing what’s right in the eyes of its customers.
Even worse for San Francisco. Basically just "restaurants" and an easy getaway to outdoors. And worse on all the other fronts as well (crime, homeless, cost of living, etc).

How well a city takes care of these issues in the good times and has rational/sensible policies sets it up for how it will do in bad times.
> It's weird how politicians never talk about regulating Visa and Mastercard

These are two of the most heavily regulated corporations in the world. I don't even understand the premise of your comment. Banking and money is extremely regulated and they have to ask for permission to do pretty much anything.
Where's the GNU grant program to help fund the time it takes to write a good manual for something, then? Complete with people whose job at least partially involves finding folks who have had something worthwhile to say about a program, and convincing them that they want to spend the next few months of their lives expanding it into Serious Documentation?
I want this feature and use it sometimes in my own scripts, usually in scripts that I’m not passing relative path args to. It’s common enough for me that I like having the script_dir in there for a bash script template, and always trivially easy to comment out the cd command. Did the author do that already? I noticed the article had a sentence about changing directory struck out.
I'm sitting here in disbelief after a quick search reveals that the actual average income is $879,000.

I don't live anywhere near NYC, and probably haven't visited more than a half dozen times, and even I know that $140K/year isn't getting you into Tribeca these days (granted, I occasionally glance at the NYT real estate section). I would expect someone covering that beat to be able to do that gut-check and, I dunno, maybe double-check those numbers.

Per the announcement, the live video infrastructure that powers Periscope will continue to power live video on Twitter.

Costs to support a standalone app are more than just infra and CDN costs - think support, moderation, legal, comms, QA, etc.

That's an interesting point of view
Don't you think it's exactly the high taxes that give space for corruption and incompetence?

Once you accumulate a large pool of money (especially if it's someone else money), the larger the pool, the easier it is to waste it.

We see it with governments, big tech companies, VC funded startups, even when pooling money for a road trip with friends.

I think the enemy is human nature and centralisation, not specific malicious individuals
how'd you compare with your cost of living overall?
It's absolute nonsense from my anecdotal experience here in NYC as well. I don't even see how it's remotely possible for a full 40% of NYC's population to have turned over in the span of 9 months. New lease signings are down, not up many hundreds of percentage points! Every single thing that would have to be true for this to be true as well, isn't. It's bad methodology from one company trying to get its name in the news and then a media outlet running an uncritical article using this as fact.

We just had an election. Go look at the voter rolls and who actually voted, and for the absentee ballots, where the absentee ballots were sent. There's no way in hell 40% of the voter rolls have turned over since the last time we held an election. The data is out there to easily disprove this ridiculous notion.
I’m truly baffled as to why such a sophisticated and useful package is being distributed and advertised by an anonymous individual.
The observation is not that certain nations are not covered; that would be pointless. The observation is that those nations that are covered, are only covered when coverage increases the chance of massive USA "Defense" Department spending.
They sure will, since some of us who shoot raw-only don't masturbate about a single/composite picture for 10-30 minutes. We shoot our fullframes as we walk/hike/climb/ski/whatever and move on, to snap another 50 or 200 on that day while not slowing down. Ever been in altitude? You will damn sure appreciate the enhanced options RAW format out of good sensor will give you in postprocess. Ever did a night photo of nature, mountains, stars, milky way etc? Well good luck with JPEGs on those. And I could go on and on for quite some time.

I am not even going into how tools don't make picture better, that's pure clueless rubbish.

Your post sir doesn't make much sense whatsoever.

They overestimated how much they could fix in the time between the initial delivery and the day-one patch.
MFA and persistence — especially if you use SSO. If you have credentials sitting around in your home directory they can be harvested from a standard location by malware and people are often very slow to rotate them. In contrast, if you're following Amazon's guidelines your console login will already have MFA and be using short-term credentials.
Sorry(?)
But it's still just MDN (or MDN Web Docs). Yari is just the code name for the code repo. Not a particularly important name.
That doesn't control for who benefits from the money spent. For example, Alaska is billed for the early warning and radar systems to detect Russian ICBMs, but Alaskans don't really benefit from it because Russia would never bomb Alaska, and most of the jobs go to people shipped in from the lower 48 states, not Alaskans.

Likewise, Nebraskan farmers look like they're on the dole with the corn subsidies, but the other 49 states benefit from lower and stable corn prices, so it isn't clear why Nebraska would get all the costs accounted to them when everyone benefits from it.
The absence of income is not a "loss", certainly not a taxable one. This is not how landlords make money.
They wouldn't have, had they actually obeyed the same laws and regulations.

Instead, they offered a nearly identical service (arranged via app rather than hailing streetside) and skirted around all of the regulations that had kept the incumbents entrenched for so long.
Neither does C++, IIRC the compilers invented the notion because tons of operations are forbidden between pointers to different objects, so by tracking the provenance you can e.g. detect conditions leading to UB and trim them, because as usual why would the programmer ever write a bug (from the point of view of strict conformity to the standard)? So if it is not a bug thanks to our perfect programmer that of course knows the standard by heart even better than compiler authors apparently do, that must be that this condition is always false, code path is dead, etc.

Hilarity ensues when compiler authors themselves introduce bugs in compliant programs thanks to this line of thought that they often take way to far.

So again: of course this is a compiler bug. But it is caused by an attempt to use provenance analysis for aliasing (that could indirectly be allowed, at least in a non-buggy form, because of some arcane C or C++ rules) that was not implemented correctly. Type based aliasing is more simple because the rules lead to it slightly more directly.
I guess it depends on what the first person did with their extra 10 hours.
I still have no idea why all these big game developers are releasing new titles and still supporting last gen hardware. You would think games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Halo Infinite would be launch titles that would entice people to buy new consoles.
Why would it be for the worse?
You can bet that most of them that diversified did so, with the emphasis being they own US tech stocks, not EU tech stocks.
Usenet, man. You kinda had to be there.
You’re not wrong. Something that the US has reaped the benefits of ever since, in the form of a huge market to trade with, and join it in its various wars.

It certainly wasn’t charity, and most of it was via loans that were repaid. So yes, thank you, but equally don’t get too big for your boots, it was driven by only shrewd self-interest.
Lower standards?

You mean standards like applying a device directly onto your respiratory system that's been potentially exposed for long periods of time to a virus that stays on surfaces for days?

These aren't lower standards these are freaking negative standards.

Doing all the work twice is expensive. It’s not just the actual work of doing the design, but then you’re 2x testing costs too (unless you YOLO one of the modalities). More cost effective and better quality result to make a choice to make the platforms more uniform rather than trying to optimize for both. This obviously only holds when there’s a massive disparity in revenue. If your PC/laptop users make up a non-trivial parts of revenue it can start to make sense (but again, generally only if doing so will help you retain that market or get better revenues). The other thing unifying things does is it helps engineering and design teams by removing complexity.

All of the above is general trends of how these decisions are made. There will always be counter examples or situations those aren’t good ideas (or that someone has made a mistake applying a lesson to the wrong situation).

Saying an entire group of people is lazy or dumb is not a particularly insightful way of looking at anything that helps your understanding of the situation or learning what kind of results different incentives yield.
I say this as a photographer who has already purchased an iPhone 12 Pro Max:

If you're taking a tripod and an iPhone tripod camera mount with you... why not just take a camera camera (struck: "real camera") without a space-constrained sensor/lens?

This test suite seems a little... silly to me.
You know, you've got a sample size here that'd make for a hell of a study. Maybe get hold of Scott Alexander, I hear he's taking some tentative post-doxing-threat steps out of the bunker.

> residents who left this year earned an average income of about $140,000

Averages tend to mask the true reality.

If a corporate executive makes $10 million dollars a year. And the next 100 people makes $100,000 a year. Then the total is $20 million dollars.

When you divide this by 101, you get an average of $198,000. Which is nearly double what the normal person in this example earns.

The better metric is to use the median salary. Which in this example is $100,000. And the executive’s salary is the outlier.

Then again, most executives are paid in tax deferred stock options. And they cash out for a pot of gold after a few years. So this distorts any estimates of general income and wealth of the population.
Time for some shameless plugs! Themis [1] has been doing this “hard to misuse” thing for quite a few years. It has major focus on interoperability: supports a dozen of languages, with Rust among them, across all major desktop, mobile, and web platforms.

It tries really hard to hide all the crypto mumbo-jumbo from the users so that they don’t have to be experts in algorithm choice and protocol design in order to safely use a library instead of shooting themselves in a foot.

Themis is also a wrapper over OpenSSL/BoringSSL, relying on proven crypto implementations instead of trading a simpler build system for god knows how many sleeper primitive implementation bugs. However, binary packages exist for major distros, so if you don't want to build from source you can avoid that easily.

Also, docs for humans do exist [2], packages exist, etc.

You enter the shop as a human being, and there's certain (human) rights that should come with that.

We're talking here about the right to get a copy of your own data, the right to be forgotten when you want to leave, the right to be informed about data breaches, and a right to agree to types of data processing.

Your analogy is "you enter a shop and cannot leave again, may be abused, and lose control."

A Black AI Ethicist on Her Experiences at Google–and Her Controversial Departure
If the same person registers two accounts with two email addresses, but provides the same information for both, would you know that they're the same person?

If the same person registers two accounts with two email addresses, but provides the same mailing address for both, and you send a postal catalog to each of them, would your systems detect the duplication and only send one catalog?

If either Yes, and for some companies it's both Yes, then you are linking their email address to their identity — their personhood, their struct {} of data fields.

If either No, and for many companies it's both No, then you are not linking their email address to their identity.

(Obviously having postal address creates other problems for you, I'm just trying to do my best to analogy here. For definite answers you presumably already have contacted Apple, as Apple is clearly reserving the right to make judgement calls when asked questions about this.)
Lying and deceit has always been a large part of politics but politicians used to go to some lengths to cover it up. Now it's as if we are so used to it and have a accepted this reality that they no longer need to waste energy covering it up.
