I had my first DDG beats google moment yesterday

I searched for ‘low more guitar sound’ and top result was an awesome YouTube video recreating the guitar sound of Low - More (song with amazing guitar tone)

Went to my other computer that defaults to google, searched the same thing

Pages of irrelevant crap, searched for ‘low more %nameofyoutubechanbel’

Nothing

Searched for exact title of YouTube video

Nothing

Had to manually go to the YouTube channel and find the video myself

That would be the requirement, yes. Psychological safety is more or less impossible under any circumstances if you want to expose yourself to new things. You can shield yourself from others as much as you want, but that is on you alone.

Especially for anything that happens online, you can quickly recuse yourself. If you are a public persona in some form, the rules change. But even then a cut is far easier than anything more relating to the real world.
The author of PirateStealer isn't the skiddie, the person running this instance of it is.
“Race” is not synonymous with color. It can mean roughly-something related to shared background, but it’s not very precise.

Sounds like she just got caught up in differing definitions for the word, and perhaps total (and if she considers herself Jewish in any way, pretty awful) ignorance of the use of the pre-existing phrase “Jewish race”. A few generations ago, in the USA, Jews were not considered “white”, and neither were Italians or Irish.

EDIT: I seem to have crossed a line I can’t see. Anyone hazard a guess why this was downvoted?
A bit vague but interesting. My knowledge of internet and computer protocols and how it works is not very good. Can anyone recommend any resources that explain stuff like this?
Maybe you missed the first half of the article title.

i use the caps lock key to swap keyboard languages. it’s a default option in the keys’ advanced settings, and it works wonderfully well (you can still invoke caps lock by long-pressing the key, too).
Thanks!

That's true, same with Facebook links and in some ways, close friends on Instagram. Our argument here is that rather than having it is as one-of-many features, we're focused on making a joyful experience around this single feature, creating a different space for sharing.

Feedback noted though!
Or they could reduce complexity by not adding things like telemetry, which has no direct user benefit and therefore should not be included in release versions. There should be no service that all firefox installs connect to.
Makes sense and doesn't. Ideally, you can navigate to the file from a directory and copy the link that is in the address bar, and share a direct link to the file with the context of the directory. And if needed, right-click to share like you did to share that file and that file only, like what it does now.
He probably married within his social circle of the Singapore intellectual elite whose members certainly have a much higher chance to reach such a position than the average joe in the country. I don't know anything about this gentleman but I don't think it's enough of an argument to accuse him of corruption.
The problem to me isn't that they flipped the Don't Be Evil Bit off, but that they have to ability to turn it on and off. Giving any entity this much power is a bad idea in the first place. Even if they do not presently abuse it, eventually someone will. And that is not something I want to pass on to future generations.
In some locations the speed enforcement is autonomous.

>My experience...

Will of course be much different from someone who lives in a different locale or is a different ethnicity and/or social class than you.

>If our local cops did this, I'd just make an online post about it so everybody knew the cops were doing it and then it would stop.

Yeah, ok.

I've met a lot of people with inflated egos but believing you can dictate local law enforcement policy with your internet posts is on a whole nother level.
I guess no does not mean no huh. But Nice try to explain away when people have already chosen to opt out!
> Even if this has happened with some frequency I'm not so sure it's the rule; certainly there are many exceptions. In any case, it's no argument for doing the same.

The only time where there is nation building is after permanent colonization or assimilation into an empire. The US did pretty much burn the country to the ground, my argument is they should have left right after. Same with Iraq. If theu harbor terrorists again, give them round two but worse. Let the people self-determine and fight for whatever government will prevail. They shouldn't have worried about what happenes after they left so long as they made the price of harboring terrorists clear.
I've been using Tor daily for 5 years and moved 6 months ago to a VPN.

Tor is unbeatable in his category but many websites / hosts / CDN requires Captcha nowadays, and the web seen from a Tor exit node became a pain.

I chose Mullvad (which is running the infrastructure behind Firefox VPN) and I'm satisfied so far.
The client is clean, I don't miss any feature and I trust them. They are contributing to Wireguard, the business model is clear and the price is low (5€/month).
The bandwidth has never been a problem so far, I just have to solve a Captcha sometimes when I use Google search
It’s Just a Game. Or Is It?
Typescript’s type narrowing is useful for this exact situation:

// v is any or unknown
if (typeof v !== "string") {
throw new Error("oops")
}
// v is now string

You can’t get runtime type correctness by deceiving typescript into it.
Plenty of other animals will destroy trees to keep the plains the way they are. Pretty much any large mammal will trample saplings and rub up against larger trees until they die. This is easier to see on the African plains with elephants.
It seems like many journalists are failing in their primary responsibilities to keep the public informed. Fact checking liars or misleading statements is tedious, and some politicians lie or mislead.

Journalists should be doing investigations and creating reports that put social and political issues in context. Yet so often these issues, real issues that affect lives, are treated as political theater or a public sport.

I can't blame journalists for the politicians lying or misleading, but I can blame them for so often going for the easy stories that they are fed, instead of the hard ones they have to look for or put together.

As a result, when I read the news I pay special attention to stories that are based on original investigations, public records requests, whistleblowers, or stories in which actual context is provided from multiple viewpoints that are informed by the facts, rather than merely by self interest.

It seems to me lying with facts boils down to two techniques:

1. Misrepresenting the central tendency by presenting outliers as representative.

2. Presenting credentialed but agenda-driven authorities who argue in bad faith to affirm that these outliers are representative and pre-empt the listener's getting a competing, and actually representative, interpretation from other authorities.

I think there are strong incentives for people to disagree with a protest to characterize it as more radical than it is. Likewise, there are strong incentives for moderates inside a protest to disavow radicals and forcefully defend the protest's reputation. Finally, there are strong incentives for radicals inside the protest to minimize or lie about their own radicalism.

Doesn't the argument go "more speech, not less"? I'm really not troubled by the idea that different groups in society contest the meaning of collective action. 2020's George Floyd protests were widely decried in some circles, praised in others, praised with an asterisk in others still, and that's basically part of how society engages in collective meaning-making, so what's the problem?

My guess is that the end consensus on this protest will be more or less exactly what it appears to be: a bunch of hayseed idiots, many of whom have fringe (even if not racist) views, briefly annoyed the fuck out of regular Bytowners in a quixotic and futile effort to achieve a set of unclear but mostly odious goals; a handful of them will end up choking to death in a hospital 6 weeks from now; and Canada isn't going to drop a widely supported rule that also makes no sense to drop (because the U.S. hasn't dropped their side, so unilateral changes won't actually benefit anyone).

Well the telemetry is something that is separate topic. But regardless, ny code that can end up blocking forever should have a timeout and recover from that timeout happening.

The problem here was that something that is known to fail for all sorts of reasons (network IO) was happening without such a timeout. Or with a timeout with a failure mode that it never happens (yikes). That's a design problem and even something with a very small chance of happening is extremely likely to actually happen at some point with a product that is this widely used.

This stuff is hard of course and I end up addressing issues related to his once in a while. The fix is usually to surround such code with defensive measures such as timeouts, retry mechanisms, telemetry, logging, etc.

The additional question/learning is why they never noticed this happening before. Because it probably did; they just never noticed because the very thing that would have told them was actually hanging. People killing an application for whatever reason is something that you'd want to know however.
Malware detection relies on signatures and/or heuristics. Signatures won't work with a brand new malware that hasn't been seen before. Heuristics can also be defeated.

Antimalware is great for the low hanging fruit but don't expect it to detect something where the author has put effort into it.
The problem with this conversation is that people feel attacked by the term, like it undermines the hard work they've done or their intelligence. It doesn't necessarily mean everything was handed to you on a silver platter. It's ok to acknowledge the ways in which you were dealt a good hand (if, in fact, you were).
Hallo dear PM.

I’m glad that you confirmed that you don’t care about your paying users anymore. Of course you will change their settings since you know better they want to be tracked even if they say they don’t.

I was under impression that, being a paid customer, I would not be a product and you would not try to scam me into being a data source for you. Looks like I was wrong and this move is the last straw that will kick me out of Google as soon as I’m done with transition. You lost my money and my goodwill. I will never ever use any Google service, nor will companies where I work or consult.

Looking forward to a Google free world.
That's exactly my question. In this magical world where nuclear power regulations are similar to coal power regulations, who is going to spend the tens of trillions of dollars necessary to partially solve the climate change crisis with nuclear plant?

Does not seem to function on Firefox on Android. Maybe it's just me?

EDIT: Also on Firefox on Windows 10.
Yup.

I spent some time there and I honestly believe that corruption is probably on par or better than other developed countries. They take it very seriously.

However, as you mentioned, if there was corruption, you’d probably never know. With the libel laws and control of the media, I doubt many would be willing to speak out.

Singapore’s system has worked so far, but all it takes is some corruption within for the whole system to rot to its core. It’s not setup to self-correct. It seems like a well oiled machine on the surface but that’s just because you’re not allowed to see all the warts.

Telemetry has massive direct user benefit. It gives every user a vote on how important each feature is rather than letting power users who manually submit feedback control the show.

I don't think it's too late to fix this. We can build better search engines, or better yet, tools more suitable tools for discovery. It doesn't have to be big to be useful.

Right now the big problem as I see it is that there is great content being created but its audience just isn't finding it. There's so much noise, the signal is almost completely drowned out.

Out of largely the same frustration permeating the link, I built search.marginalia.nu alone in less than a single year in my spare time without prior knowledge of search, paying for the hardware out of my own pocket.

I don't say that to promote how great I am. The point is specifically that I'm just some guy on the Internet. Just imagine what could be possible if actual resources were put toward finding solutions to this problem.
Not just any part of Florida.

Although today things are culturally much more homogenous, this particular town 50 years ago already had a long tradition of starting companies with the express intention of becoming comfortable to begin with bringing in money from investors only. The dream is that the venture could actually pay off someday and then everybody involved will really profit phenomenally when the company is sold.

Not so much pursuing product sales where value needs to be added. You're selling a dream that naturally appeals to investors more so than retail customers who would want something tangible sooner. Who has more money anyway?

"Real estate" was usually the financial vehicle but you had to be able to sell "false estate" (Everglades) as if it was really a good investment. Well it truly had no place to go but up ;)

Quite unlike nearby Miami or Palm Beach even, and nothing like Tampa or Orlando and the other places.

Much more prominent dream-selling element in company founders (among the smaller number) by far than SV at the time. You've got to really be persuasive. SV sure has come a long way in this regard now.

This time it's not real estate but technology, crafted to appeal to SV investors.

A number of years before Magic Leap got attention, there had been a very embarassing "Digital "Dream" up the coast in Martin or St. Lucie where they were going to make it like a little SV. The idea was to create a ground-up "ecosystem" where young people can have the kind of opportunities in software & game development they could only dream about.

There was a real estate component in that one so they broke ground, started developing a campus and everything, but once the investments quit coming in they were done. Plus real estate had become uncertian in ways that had never occurred there. Some respected investors did lose a lot plus I think even some quasi-government development agency went down. After the details came out the general consensus was they were taken for a ride the whole time.
even this reply is framing it like it sounds ridiculous. I'm not sure if this stop sign incident is the best example, but look into all the reports of the waymo vehicle causing road rage due to its "safety-first" driving.

I am primarily interested in a position as a Product Manager in New York City, since this most closely aligns with my current position, interest and past experience as a founder. I am enrolled in a London School of Economics MBA essentials online course, and have prior founder and management experience.

I have a couple of references for you:

“For as long as I have known him, Robert has been a business innovator. He is the type of person who always has his eye out for business opportunities and how to solve them. This keen business ability coupled with great mathematical ability and a strong understanding of technology, has made him a natural entrepreneur.

Over the years I have consulted on some of these solutions where my expertise in software engineering has related. In that time I’ve seen that Robert is incredibly quick in learning new domains as it relates to the problems he is solving. He is excellent at translating his business needs into clear specifications and organizing them in a streamlined manner.

Since I hear he is now open to new opportunities, I strongly recommend hiring him as a product owner, scrum master - and/or anything that leverages his business and technical abilities. He would be a first rate asset to any technical organization.”

The logistics and practicality of teaching whole swathes of a population living under a US-backed dictatorship how to make sure they have secure means of communication arouses more suspicion than just using twitter, where everyone is already. Getting caught with technical and secure means of communication can be used as evidence in witch hunts. Having Twitter installed, on the other hand is not. Let the chickens hide in plain sight, just don't advertise their information to the wolves.

I don't work at Twitter which is why I'm doing what I can by bringing it up here so someone at Twitter can do something about it. One way to make sure this problem doesn't get solved is to say things like "Twitter is a private company they don't owe anyone anything". Maybe if we as a community stood together to demand these features of big companies then they would consider it a must-do. Cynicism, no matter how valid (very, extremely, enormously valid) is not a reason to let these big Co's relax for even one moment in the pursuit to protect its users.
If you came to that conclusion then you have not understood the post.

> So consumption increases about x1.5 from the "best case" to "autobahn speeds"?

Yes, pretty much. I wouldn't say 1.5x is a constant factor.

If I drive at 200+kph (e.g. 240kph) then consumption explodes.

This stuff must be online somewhere, but for me at least it seems that consumption increases exponentially (e.g. x^2), which makes sense since air resistance increases with v^2.
“Bare” enums are not better either. No introspection, bad debug-ability (you can’t print them in a human-readable way). Typescript enums are a good tradeoff between just string|string|… types and pure integers (or whatever type you assign to them). The former’s literals are indistinguishable from string literals at readsourcestime. The latter creates issues at debugtime.
I find LO to be very buggy and unintuitive in its UI. Equations are a pain, it forgets styling options, etc..

I know my documents are safe and I can move between OSes at my will. This kind of freedom is essential for me and I am grateful for that

It should be impossible for the phrase "the recent Firefox outage" to make sense. Has there ever been an "outage" of linear algebra? Of Linux? Of mitochondria? Of Bitcoin?

It is critically important that we not introduce new single points of failure into the systems that our civilization depends on, and that we remove the ones that already exist.
