You know what I am going to say...

Google Play is owned by Google and is a private platform. They can remove, ban, suspend any app or app update they want when it breaks their policies.

That is tough.
I'm interested, but without your text here I'd have no idea this was a task list/note taking app. There's not a single mention of that on the site, if I were discovering this for the first time I'd think it was a "mindful" exclusive social media site.
…for a very small amount of time. Tsar Bomba (about 50 megatons of TNT) released about 58 TWh (according to Google, searching for “50 megaton TNT in twh”) in, I guess, less than a ms.

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_consumption, you would need ten of those each day to cover the world’s energy needs (≈ double that to convert heat into motion, move it to users (who won’t want to live near the energy production facility, etc)
Technically speaking, this is the opposite - the point is that while a prescriptivist would find the whole thing a bit silly a descriptivist would have a problem with this situation, because it is creating new racial insult (eg, calling something a blacklist in the presence of a black person) where none existed before.

It seems like a mistake to invent racial terms out of whole cloth for no reason. It shouldn't be done.
This is not a SS7 attack. SS7 attacks doesn't work in practice. Eg A lot of carriers in US are CDMA. GSMA Carriers like AT&T has great firewalls in place to block SS7 attacks.

Further, You can detect SS7 attacks. Major Banks already has measures in place...
When I discovered D (pre 1.0) the compiler front end was open source, but the back end source was closed. I was surprised years later when I found it now more open.

There was a compiler called DLI that even used the front end code and wrote a new backend that used nasm. I remember porting that to BeOS because none of the other opensource back ends were easily portable at the time.
Many people are not ok with either. We just left social media a decade ago but still somehow have to put up with its bullshit leaking out all over the internet.
I largely agree with the sentiments of the article, but side-effect I like is that it tests assumptions in git systems about "default" branches, and ensures that software isn't too committed to a certain branch name - so that people can call branches whatever they like.

Even on Github people can still use master if they want, it just isn't the default.
Google is entitled to scrape it, but are they entitled to display the content on their site, the results pages? Everything in the instant answers is content that deserves to be displayed on its creators page, along with whatever monetisation the creator chooses.
I just got to know about this and its highly benefiting

This article made me really emotional. I really didnt think anything of "master" branch until Github pointed it out. There are bigger problems to solve and. For starters I hope the tech industry can be more open to people of colour.
It's not only the same, it's worse.

You have 2 choices:

1) Decline to recognize thst Google is in any way a special case, and so treat Google like any other private business, like your brother-in-laws little one-man coffee shop.

2) Recognize that Google is in any way special and different from some other random small private business.

Let's say you subscribe to 1) :

On the surface level, being denied service in the app store because your app caters to people who are poly, is like being denied service in the general store because you're black, or Chinese, Or Jewish.

Your freedom as a business operator is that you are free not to operate a business if you can't stomach the thought of having to sell flour to black people.

So, if you think Google is just a private business like any other and with the same rights as any other, then they must offer flour to the black people too. They can't mysteriously be out of flour just for some people based on race, religion, sex, etc.

But of course, whether anyone subscribes to it or not, 2) is in effect. Google is not just a private business like a motorcycle repair shop or a hair salon.

A marketplace owner doesn't just own a business that must service everyone equally, they actually own the street that all possible businesses and all possible customers must use. That makes the marketplace owner an order of magnitude more liable for their actions, in the way that the state is for the ordinary phyical street.

Now their decisions not only abuse an individual customer (an app developer) but exert control over entire populations.

It is ENTIRELY reasonable and rational and fair to have strict limits, high standards, and onerous even draconian oversight on anyone in any such position.

The state weilds that same sort of control over ordinary streets and businesses and customers, and because of that, the state is actually very limited in what it can do, and must always be able to justify why it does anything. (in theory anyway, on paper anyway). If the state wants to say that some business can't operate, it has to be prepared to defend that decision legally.

Google and other large operations have set up environments where they have state-level control over state-level populations with corner coffee shop-level autonomy.
see you in a year, after you hear stories about how wikipedia had to redact information that was sensitive to their valued customers
TLDR: Out of your firsts million dollars in yearly revenue that you make on Google Play, Google stoped billing you 300'000$ and now only bills you 150'000$. And they frame it in a way that suggests empowerment and goodwill.

Seriously, when did fees of 15-30% for a service that you essentially cannot avoid as a software publisher become acceptable?
What a great change. I applaud Uber for doing something that actually positively affects people who are disadvantaged in life. I always found it ridiculous that drivers were not considered employees and so had none of the protections that an employee would normally have.

Hopefully, this will encourage companies that follow the contractor mantra to follow suit.
Common Problems with Rel=“Preload”
But there is an opensource implementation of those support services (microg) which work for most apps.
> Git itself now asks you if you would like to use the more inclusive `main`.

No it doesn’t. It says this:

hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name
hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all
hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call:
hint:
hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name>
hint:
hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and

hint:
hint: git branch -m <name>
Banning a word is pointless. The word itself has no power. It is the feeling piggybacking on the word that gives life to the word. The feeling will find another word as vehicle.
The SP is a walk in the park compared to the IdP.
You're misinformed if you think this is a minority.
It works for at least one mobile carrier, as demonstrated in the article Krebs references [1]. One carrier is enough.

The ability to hijack text messages through an online service was also shown in an article Krebs' source mentioned [2].

Perhaps you're right that upstream agreements with mobile carriers should already be blocked, but in practice it's been proven not to be.

There was a change to NetNumber's systems on 11 March to combat this, but there's no guarantee that their competitors don't have similar flaws or that the measures taken were good enough to stop the attack in practice.

Even still, if the problem might be fixed in the entire US, that doesn't mean anything for the rest of the world.

I don't know if iView works overseas, but I think the show is on Netflix too.
Yes, pretty sure that this is a reference to the professional-managerial class. It's a common refrain on the populist left/"dirtbag left" that identity politics are often dishonest class warfare. (I agree.)
Ask HN: Fair to reward founders with equity on performance than equal split?
Forming a company with larger than usual founder base. When originally formed, we agreed with a near equal split with clift and vesting. Now it is being proposed to instead switch to a "reward" system, wherby founders are given more shares based on their value and contribution (which is highly subjective). Proposed that in each year and investment round, overall shares are diluted and more is given to those have placed in more effort, subsequntly reducing the stake of others. This is to be assed via some metrics through milestones or a KPI.

This scheme is the first I have heard of it and I cannot find examples where it has been practiced (being successful or not).

Has anyone done anything similar? Or perhaps advises for/against?

Thanks
The carbon footprint of an iPhone is about 82 kg of CO2-e over its lifetime. The carbon footprint of a car over ten years is about 25,000 CO2-e.

I applaud Apple for its efforts but it's obvious where we need to start.
Remember Swift is also used in the backend and other areas that are not UI, not every new feature in Swift will be oriented to make UI apps easier, for that you have Swift UI the framework.

We don't get this type public proposals for Swift UI,
I wish Swift UI would be open source, because the documentation hasn't been great in my experience and at least this type of proposals get publicly documented and discussed before being implemented.
I understand and I think that is acceptable. I'd welcome you and yours in Canada. When both groups respect each other, true integration comes over generations of working together.

Obviously we did not respect the Indigenous people and I hope that can me mended through generations of mutual respect.

I think Vancouver is better because of the rich mix of cultures. It's not perfect here but I think it is pretty good. I have seen a Muslim man give his shoes to a homeless man on the bus and walk home barefoot in the rain. I believe anything is possible.

Greensill family cashed out $200m before collapse
I didn't mean "disowning" as performative act but as an honest expression of preferences, including in-person and online discussions and voting choices.

The general population publicly expressing their honest moderate views and opposing the extremes is not "for appearances". It's the core of what's missing in today's public debate, dominated by far left/right activists, bot farms, and personalities/celebs.

My point is, the (American) left is justly associated with wokeness because they are its primary visible supporters. Maybe it's because those on the left who don't support it just don't speak up, in which case, my message is: please do. I'm not just going to assume your existence.
From my subjective and anecdotal perception as someone who interacts with people from many countries, it looks mostly like an US thing at the moment.

The problem is that most of the West tends to imitate cultural and political trends that originate in the US. And this is already being imitated. In most other countries we are not yet seeing a war to the extent we see in the US, but the American situation could be the canary in the coal mine.
Maybe the strong cultural roots of the practice makes explicitly stating the dangers unnecessary. Most people never go deep, or practice light techniques that are quite safe. And if you advance, society pushes you to seek out a guru.

Edit: Until quite recently (< 150 ago), most people were deeply integrated into family life, both in the West and elsewhere. There was simply way less opportunity for people to isolate themselves and mess around with random techniques from the internet.
Yes, for orchestras this may be hard to achieve.

But for many instruments, tuning A slightly down to 432 is feasible.

Perhaps future technology can save us so that orchestral music can be fixed in the mix.
Black tie. In the black. Black gold. Black belt. Whiteout. White as a sheet. White rider. White-livered. White elephant.
It's app stores as the single gatekeeper to a platform that's bad. I think it's actually fine if there's an app store where you can get vetted apps that have some official stamp of approval from the store owner, but it's also important that that store doesn't have the monopoly to that platform. It should be possible for users to choose a different app store.
The word "master" (or "slave", really, if I am honest with myself) doesn't mean anything to me.

However I can think of other words which _would_ be very offensive to me, and I would not like to have to use them every day in my job.

Imagine being black and having to type "Negrolist" several times per day. Or being a jew and having to write the word "marrano" (Spanish word which means "pig", but also a despective word used to refer to jews in the past). Or a recovering drug addict having to type "heroin" every day.

My point is that this list of words is probably a little different for everyone, and changes over time. I have heard some people express that "master" and "slave" (and "blacklist") feel that way to them. I have decided to trust that this is a real sentiment shared by a non-insignificant amount of people, even if for this particular black person they do not.

So, if they want to change it to main, sure. It is not a big deal to me, and it can help some people.

I also agree that it is not a big deal for companies like Github, and that the gesture feels empty if not accompanied with a more substantial effort.
That says more about your attitude towards nuclear than about Greenpeace though.
They are doing it to avoid being a target of a woke mob feigning offense for their own ideological gain in the on-going identity culture war which is happening in the west.

Another example, Bezos recently banned books critical of transgender from being sold on Amazon. And just like that, everyone forgot about Amazon's brutal suppression of union organising activity in their warehouses. Similarly the rest of Big Tech thinks it can toss out token gestures and placate those who are critical of its business practices.
I'm another Wikipedian and donor, and I'm pissed about this.

Creating an enterprise product with enterprise funding means Wikimedia is directing energy and resources to serve enterprise alone. These APIs were likely demanded by larger tech firms, and I imagine they discussed with Wikimedia the possibility of creating a commercial service. Now they got what they wanted, it won't be a public resource, and it's design won't be guided by the public either.

Now the lines are very blurry. A wiser strategy would have been to create a separate private entity.
Technological innovation is a balance between diminishing returns (ever-smaller niches getting filled, ever-increasing complexity) and the occasional breakthrough which spawns further development. The visual metaphor of bacteria developing antibiotic resistance in ever-greater levels of the antibiotic, springs to mind:

The "woke mob" were chasing them because of the contract with ICE and the police facial recognition stuff that's very profitable and they'd like to continue doing.

The master branch thing was an attempt at misdirection and throwing the mob a bone.

It's a classic PR move. The entire objective was to generate distracting noise.

Policing language is popular among corporations for the same reason oil companies got "woke" about recycling in the 80s:

* It doesn't really change anything and doesn't affect profit margins.

* It affects everybody albeit very lightly and is extemely visible.

* It naturally leads people to shame each other, taking the heat off the corp.

* They can score some progressive points at minimum cost.

Same mechanism, different era.
In the Netherlands, which unlike Germany was significantly involved in the transatlantic slave trade, AFAIK the word meester never had any connotations of slavery, only of expertise and teaching ability (as in a guild master).

It's still used to refer to a male teacher, particularly in elementary schools, as well as being the title used by lawyers.

A slave owner was simply a slavenhouder.
The problem is further upstream. This is the people who graduate. This is the people who enrol. This is the people who fall in love with computers.

At some point, we lose everyone else, and I wish I knew why. I have theories sure, but I don't actually know why.
Both gitlab and github make heavy use of the term owner and ownership. Someone should let them know they have more renaming to do.
Haven't you thought about how trunk is offensive to people who have been kidnapped?
Slavery in Russian empire was de jure abolished about the same time as slavery in US. Not surprisingly, it took even more time for "de facto" changes to happen with various restrictions still being a thing into 1970ies. If anything, kolhoz system was anything but slavery with the government being ultimate owner.
You don't need LOAs. You need a contract and an API with a upstream provider where you can attack numbers real-time.
I had multiple managers that had little or no technical background. They were among the worst managers I had, not a single one was efficient or good.

People with good technical background could be both bad and good.
Why not use gimp for slave? Master and gimp.

Edit: No! You see Ivan, it should be master and margarita!
Theoretically the best balance between high resolution (you can't see any single "normal" pixel anymore at normal viewing distance and normal eye sight) and battery usage is 1440p.

But support for 1440p on Linux (and as far as I know not just Linux) is crap.

Anyway in my experience having a high quality display is much much much more important then the display resolution (as long as it's at least 1080p).
Conditional break points are definitely a great secret weapon. But don't underestimate the value of the humble print statement. It's convenient and can often lead to surprising insights "hmm, why is this getting printed so damned much?" in a way that is sometimes more accessible than a debugger.
Sure. I'm just calling their point into question because I see a lot of people of color that are actively engaged in the evolution of language in the context of slavery. The Rijksmuseum in The Nederlands has changed most occurrences of 'slave' to 'enslaved person' and trying to find out the actual name of the person depicted, among other things. The commission that was responsible for this change was headed by a person of color[0]. This isn't a movement that we are only seeing in Silicon Valley.

Once again, this study looks exclusively at the neutralizing effects of the antibodies in sera, and is unable to account for t-cells:

>>>One important aspect of immunity not addressed by our work is cellular immunity contributed by cytotoxic lymphocytes, including T and NK cells. Even in the absence of neutralizing humoral immunity, previous studies have suggested that cellular immunity can mitigate severe or prolonged infection (Le Bert et al. 2020). In convalescent individuals, T-cell immunity would not be restricted to spike-derived epitopes, but also from other more abundant proteins such as nucleocapsid. As such, it would be reasonable to assume that T-cell-mediated immunity elicited by infection would remain largely intact for circulating variants including B.1.351. Indeed, although recent studies by Johnson & Johnson have demonstrated reduced overall efficacy in South Africa, there was substantially more protection against severe or fatal disease than for mild-to-moderate disease (Herper et al. 2021). However, with the exception of killed whole virus vaccines, all currently available vaccine designs only provide spike protein as the target immunogen, thus limiting T-cell immunity to spike epitopes. Notwithstanding, one recent study has demonstrated that mutations in spike epitopes do not impair T-cell responses despite escaping neutralizing antibodies (Skelly et al. 2021).

So... the jury is still out on if the vaccines generate a significant enough t-cell response to engender protection against a variant that may be able to elude the antibodies the vaccine confers, though it appears that the t-cell response is still durable from naturally infected individuals.
> but having went to school there entire years of our history class were dedicated to the Nazis.

To be precise it is about the atrocities committed by the Nazis and how they managed to subvert the society to be able do their crimes. By the way they started early on to change the everyday language.
I hate this “woke mob” branding, there isn’t one, there are people who care about social issues who are individuals. Some go too far, I agree, but we should aim to treat everyone, no matter what they believe (yes even if you think they are really wrong) with respect rather than pigeon holing all their views in with a group you don’t like.
I'm not sure if you're adding to what I was saying or contradicting me, but either way, I believe we should be in agreement. Colors have positive and negative connotations way outside of race, they are contextually dependent (your accounting example is very nice, as black is positive while red is negative), and trying to police that is absurd and counter-productive.

I should also mention that I am aware that in Japanese culture (and I believe others in that area, but don't know for sure), the traditional color for mourning is white, not black.
I think OP is from Estonia, in which case it ended around 30 years ago.
The struggle is still the same.

Things have just gotten more politically correct, because now every employee could record your Pinkertons beating up people and share it with the whole world.

Don't think things have changed for any other reason that we forced them to do that.

What if one black person feels discriminated? What if all black people feel discriminated? I think it's clear that the term blacklist is not discriminatory in origin nor is it used in a discriminating way. If, hypothetically, all black people would feel discriminated then there would be a real gain from changing these words, even if they were never discriminatory to begin with. Still, even in that case, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to give in to "feelings". Feeling discriminated is decidedly not the same as being discriminated and it's a slippery slope when hurting other people's feelings becomes a punishable offence.
Having username+password+sms is strictly safer than having username+password.

To require the attacker to know your phone number and do costly and/or time consuming things to get access to it means moving from "script kiddie re-using username+password from leaked user databases" to "targeted attacks".

Sure, it's not Safe(tm), but it's a big step up from just username+password.
