Trying to gather data about your product performance and use is "normal". The fact it's been always happening is also "normal". The fact you do more of it because of technology doesn't make it less normal. Is it abnormal you can shop for groceries 5 miles away with your car, because you wouldn't be able to by foot? What kind of a silly thought process is that.

Probably companies haven't been able to serve billions of individuals worldwide, so they had less data. Microsoft has more customers, and has more data to process.

No one here is describing WTF is this "data" harming them personally with. It's not personally identifiable, and it's extremely mundane. Surely Microsoft will destroy your life by having some stats on how often people in a given region play Solitaire.
Yes absolutely. Coinbase has terrible customer service, often ignoring support requests completely until you go onto social media and try to get their attention publicly before they'll even give you a response. I don't think there is necessarily a "best" way to have your keys and crypto, but usually depending on the crypto you use they usually have an official wallet that you can use where you'd be responsible for the key(s). This means that you act like your own bank though, so if you lose your private key you also lose your crypto. Therefore it is important to use utmost security, privacy and safety when displaying and saving your key.

A lot of people swear by hardware wallets like Ledger, and I think those are probably the best options for people that don't know a lot about security and crypto or possible even those that do.
Very good observations. On Instagram Reels if I like a video from the original user once, the IG algos will keep showing me the very same video via these aggregation/content farming accounts for good next two weeks — until I eventually select “not interested” a couple of times. The algo is basically working against itself — at that point I dislike the vid not because I dont like it, but because I’ve seen it 20x now ugh. IG doesn’t know seems to know that. Very primitive.

No such nonsense on TikTok — always new original, highly targeted and personalised content.

YouTube has no idea about any of this, just showing random shit that’s trending per country and language lol. Stone Age!
It’s also a good idea to disable the camera/mic in BIOS if you never use them.

The packaging should make clear that these Nike shoes aren't made by Nike. But there is no reason to restrict what the shoes themselves look like. At most, a label on the soles would be reasonable so second hand buyers can identify who made their shoes.
You have fallen victim to and are repeating a propaganda lie.

As documented by judicial procedure (Swedish equivalent to FOIA), the "stealthing" was a pure invention by the police. It was added days later _as ordered by email_ by the hierarchical superior of the policewoman who typed the statement of the second woman. This was done against the original wishes of both women, and contrary to what they originally said. Even calling it a statement is a misnomer (read more further on that subject).

That happened after tabloids had published that a rape had allegedly happened, somehow with the name of the victims. The changed was annulled later, after the fact, when this was found out.

Proof/source : you can see said email in full as part of the interview by Republik.ch of the UN Special Reporteur of Torture. Link https://www.republik.ch/2020/01/31/nils-melzer-about-wikilea...

What the story actually is, as documented as a matter of judicial procedure :

The first woman had had consensual relations with Assange, knowingly without a condom, as she herself witnessed; the second woman had consensual sex one day after; she found out after he left the condom was broken; they found out about each other a little later.

Before asking Assange directly, they wanted to know if they could make Assange take an HIV test. They went to ask a policewoman friend of the first if that was possible. Neither didn't want to make a statement, nor sign one, nor report a crime.

The policewoman wrote it down just in case. Two hours later Swedish tabloids report Assange raped somebody. The condom, as tested later on, somehow contained no DNA of Assange's.

There was lot more fishy happening on the prosecutor's side, but it's beside this comments' points.
Not sure why you’d ever do this instead of using terraform.
If you're adding "reddit" to the search query that's a bit different, in that case you're explicitly looking for results on reddit. Penalizing reddit in the rankings shouldn't change this use case.

I was more thinking about generic search queries that have reddit in the results. In my experience that doesn't happen very often.

I just don't think reddit gets a significant amount of traffic from search results so penalizing it in the rankings won't have a big effect.
Right, but the whole point of language design is to be used by many people. I’ve programmed for 30 years and have never customized my keyboard setup. If you want to create a language for both of us, sticking with standard keyboard characters seems like the best choice.

As described by the lab, the Sandia cooler predominantly transfers heat across an air-gap (maintained via self-generated fluid bearing) between the base plate and rotating impeller.

As described, they claim that if they can maintain the air-gap to 10um, then they get a net win since the specific (per surface area) thermal resistance is sufficiently low (due to only being 10um), and the transfer surface area is comparatively enormous. Nevertheless, the air-gap still forms the dominant component of their overall thermal resistance.

Reading through their posted development report [0], it's apparent that they were having trouble hitting that 10um target with their designs.

Not exactly a surprise that this is the most difficult part. Not surprising that the "commercialized versions" (see other posts) don't use this mechanism.

Rural broadband (non-satellite) has always required more infrastructure per subscriber. More revenue, like through the subsidies you mention, are the only way to fix the problem.

Their QA process is based around their telemetry.

Geographic indications is far less intrusive and far less monopolistic than a trademark is.

If I make a search engine the exact same way Google does, I cannot call my search engine Google. Neither in America, nor in Europe or in Asia, or even Africa or South America. And this brand is not even 30 years old. One single company, Google, has trademarked the brand for relatively little money on the entire planet, and it serves a very limited group of billionaires and relatively few employees.

A geographical indication, on the other hand, serves not just one company but typically hundreds or thousands or even ten thousands of independent companies with up to hundreds of thousands employed. If I want to sell wine as Bordeaux wine, all I have to do is to have a vineyard in Bordeaux and live up to the requirements that the other Bordeaux vineyards also comply with.

Note, that Google is free to keep its trademark although it changes its services to the detriment of consumers. Meaning, it maintains the trademark that all governments of the world are paid peanuts to protect on its behalf and can continue to lure consumers to believe that it is still the same service, for example still not "doing evil". But if I change my Bordeaux wine, for example if I change the blend to include grapes that are not part of the approved Bordeaux grapes, I cannot keep the geographical indication.

I am not saying trademarks should not exist or that companies with government protected trademarks should be forced not to change their products or services. But I think it's important to remember that the trademark is often sells a lie about what a company used to be. And I think the protection of trademarks should be linked to taxes paid in the geographic markets where the trademarks apply. Please note that geographic indication as a type of intellectual property right that applies to producers of products typically leaves more revenue and taxes in the countries where they are consumed.

It is in many ways a more modern, inclusive and fair IPR.
Sure, but if she has generalized anxiety, adding more to the plate in the form of “oh, also Google wants to throw you in prison eventually” is just not worth it right now :)

Udacity has a Networking for Web Developers course[0], but I'd recommend trying out things (such as running a simple web-app on your own server). Things like:

- Running https://certbot.eff.org/instructions

- Trying out a few different web servers (apache/nginx/caddy)

- Playing around with load-balancers on $cloud_provider.

- Spending time with docker networking (https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/container-networki...)

- Playing around with various X-Forwarded header options in the context of your application

For a web developer, the most useful skill is knowing what each and every component on the pipeline is doing before your code executes on the request. As a common eg, if your application seems to be loading stylesheets from `http://` instead of `https://` despite being loaded over HTTPS, it is often because your application didn't honor the X-Forwarded-Proto header (which most frameworks will do for you). Similarly, seeing a local IP address (192.168.x.y for eg) on a log, and realizing that you should be using the X-Forwarded-Ip by "trusting your proxy"[1] and doing it securely[2].[3].

None of what you say replaces telemetry, it's an addition to it. And the question remains why we need to willfully ignore the Internet, and do things like in the 80s. What's the purpose of this idiocy?

Just want to add, when you systemd list-unit-files | grep enabled, you do need to know the first field is the actual state and the second field is the vendor default state.

But this comment is totally right. If you're a Linux sysadmin, how hard is it seriously to type into a search engine "systemd list enabled services." Exactly this command very helpfully comes up in DuckDuckGo's knowledge graph bubble so you don't even need to follow the link to askubuntu. I'm sure Google search does the same.
Mass production means experienced teams so no costly delays because of inexperience. It also means the flaws in the design have been corrected after a couple iterations. An EU wide team working to build 100 nuclear plants in Europe in 10 years will be a lot faster and cost a lot less than each country going at it alone with different designs.

The problem isn’t technological or cost, it’s political. There is no political willingness to even try.

We mostly know what makes it taste different. The problem is, most of it is expensive and time consuming. People would like to take cheaper approaches and market as the same thing.

I can and have resurrected busted systems with a serial interface, sed, and ed. This is not fun as it is. It would be much suckier if each line of code were subject to out-of-band context such that it wasn’t obvious when having access to only the text.

Same. I still have a couple of DSL splitters Verizon gave me when I had DSL ~20 years ago. They should have been included with the installation. One can probably find the splitters online for a few bucks if they need them.
Sure, there are any number of ways Microsoft could break their own security model. For example, they could stop verifying signatures entirely. The fact that they're not doing worse things doesn't make what they are doing less bad.

If the problem is that app developers don't want to fix dependencies on Google services, but Amazon has a tool to fix them automatically, why can't they just release the tool and let developers sign the output themselves? Sure, some devs might be too lazy to do it, but how does that justify forcing everyone to give up control over their signatures?

I’m surprised oven manufacturers don’t sell cookbooks designed and tested on their actual ovens.
They mention using git to version Unison code, and point out how there'll practically never be any version conflicts because of the immutable / append-only nature of the language.

Doesn't that mean that the git repository will only ever grow, and that old code will stick around forever? I hope I'm misunderstanding because that would be unfortunate if true.
I agree so much about “medium heat” or really any subjective measure of heat. When I was learning to cook I smoked up my apartment so many times before I learned that what recipe authors called “high heat” was really about 50% up my range’s dial, and anything above that was mostly suitable for boiling water.

That's the inverse. What we're talking about with keyboards is the opposite, some are advocating for more division. That's like starting a movement for scientists worldwide (who unflinchingly use metric even in the US, as far as I'm aware) to ditch metric and start using the standard units that were historically common in their culture.

And for what it's worth, I've never talked to a person who doesn't agree that the US using metric would be great, the problem is that getting over the inertia of the existing casual measurements is extremely difficult because even when metric is on the label, imperial is the emphasized one (the entire traffic sign infrastructure, the vast majority of cooking implements, decades of cookbooks, most food packaging, medical records systems, drivers licenses, advertising campaigns, the personal fitness ecosystem, entire product names and trademarks). 60 years ago maybe it could be doable, but at this point it's a bit of a lost cause without very much gain.
