You may have nothing to hide in the current political climate or under the current political leaders, but what is allowed now might become anathema later, and those records can be searched and retroactively prosecuted.

We already see hints of this when someone gets canceled for something they tweeted 10 years ago. Imagine that, but on a broader scale with more violent consequences. That's why privacy is important for everyone.
hey kev quirk i'm tom quirk. great article!
Found release notes: https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/openjfx-19-release-notes...

Mostly bugfixes.
You can still use the fonts if you host them on your own site instead of making the browser load them from Google.
I’m actually not sure where they source it from but my guess would be they just have an abundant stock of it given the abundance of everything else in the shop.

It’s black wax 5 hole paper tape and the controllers the use it are Allen Bradley, manufactured in early 80s I believe but I’d have to check dates.

We also have a few machines that read from magnetic tape so lots of old almost historical computer equipment, but still being used amazingly and making money.
Most marketplaces are like that including food, lumber, fasteners (screws and nails and stuff) and clothing.

Cheap junk at cheap prices, cheap junk at medium prices for the aspirational shopper, good stuff at luxury brand prices, nothing else.

If you do woodworking you can buy inconsistently zinc plated insta-rust steel for $1 online, $5 (of which $4 is pure profit) for the same junk at big box stores, or about $50 at a specialty store for stainless steel and solid (not plated) brass that looks nice and will last a lifetime.

Another example: Cell phone chargers. The one apple ships with their phones actually follows all FCC/UL specs and is legal. Dollar store charger, not so much...
Anything more complicated than ASCII text in a single monospace font is literally impossible to implement and nobody should ever attempt it.
What they do not see: google/apple/microsoft(galaxy of vanguard and blackrock funds) actually won. Administrative web sites all over EU are more and more requiring google financed blink/geeko or apple financed webkit (including SDK) web engines.

hard truth: many if not nearly all administrative web sites (and not administrative) should work out-of-the-box with noscript/basic (x)html browsers. This is the only sane way to go until we get a web which can be reasonably coded by a small teams of individuals or individuals with reasonable efforts in time, namely a javascript engine, with ultra reduced/minimal/"sandboxed" OS services like APIs.

The vanguard/blackrock galaxy of big tech knows perfectly that the grotesque and absurd complexity and size of their web engines provide the perfect setup to destroy any alternative made by small teams of individuals or individuals.

Fining them is only one aspect, resisting tantrums of EU web devs to force users into google and apple software without any reasonable alternative way out is another one.
I think a lot of users jumped ship when it was donated to the apache foundation and no release happened for a very long time.
Why don't you download and self-host the Google fonts?
Why do they pay $249,999.99 instead of a round $250,000? Is it for tax reasons (different bracket)?

I think it would upset me a bit to not have that last cent there. Feels disrespectful in some way.
The thing about privacy is you never know when future politics is going to come into play.

Maybe a medical procedure will suddenly become illegal, such that your location history is now subject to warranted search.

Maybe your country will take a sharp turn towards authoritarianism, electing politicians who are ready and willing to use law enforcement to "punish" their enemies.

Maybe your monarch will die, and a recently passed bill will be used to arrest people who protest the existence of the monarchy.

Having "nothing to hide" isn't necessarily a fixed state.
Ah, the timeful symmetry of 10.5, 2.5, And 5.5 mod 12.

Roman numerals are nice because they don't steal attention when you aren't trying to read them.

General, intrusive text signage is mildly psychologically harmful.
I'm not saying that I agree with the current situation, but as of now it's risk for the developer to use Google Fonts.
To answer your question more specifically, I guess you could argue that it's a layer problem. Lower layers can't prevent "leaking" your ip with the current state of the internet, upper layers can and should.
What are you trying to achieve by pointing out one of the ways to construct an incorrect model of the passenger pigeon population?
One is often better served by considering that, when faced with the unexpected, oneself might be the mistaken entity.
One approach would be picking a problem from a list of code katas, eg. http://codekata.com/
Just don't buy a mansion, they might sue you for it back a year later like crypto.com did

Moreover, people often forget that the poster probably took some time out of their life to chronicle something. Starting by acknowledging personal experience and their effort documenting it goes along way towards building a collaborative discussion.
Corner stores also have their own expenses to deal with. They rarely have the same access to suppliers as grocery stores, nor do they have the access to the same prices for their goods. They may be paying the same for labour, but they are typically dealing with much lower volumes. I don't have a clue on how the cost of their leases compares, but it is going to affect the price consumers pay. If it really was as simple as them being opportunist capitalists yaking advantage of people, we would see far more corner stores in this world.
> This is felt as kick-back to the driver and if it’s bad enough can rip the wheel out of your hands. Some of you may have had that experience in the past.

It can also break the driver's thumb, if the thumb is on the inside of the rim. If you're driving over rough terrain, you're well advised to keep your thumbs on the outside of the rim. This is true even at low speed. I once had to pull a car up onto a normal-sized curb and did so at low speed. Doing so definitely kicked the wheel.
They really do look like WordArt and ClipArt from 2003, maybe it's the color choices?
There actually ARE other choices - like Librem, PinePhone, etc.

These other choices definitely are better when it comes to privacy. But probably worse in every other regard.

I personally am not quite willing to make that tradeoff (yet). But I sure am highly grateful to everyone who does, and helps make those alternatives better, and helps them gain momentum.
Schmooze is a bit of a demeaning word, isn't it? If the CEO is learning from customers and helping the organization react accordingly, that sounds very valuable.
IIX for a watchmakers 8 would be even more symmetrical.
I love the retro vibe of their isometric "Nabla" font :D
I don’t know, the lounge area in the basement looks horribly uncomfortable. The four chairs around the coffee table have too wide a seat for the back and appear to be uncomfortably low.
Rust Foundation Establishes Security Team
This is a strawman in the sense that such a change of ownership can be highly disruptive to the business
TikTok, Netflix, Instagram and other sites specifically designed to be sticky (no pun intended) also have this problem although it isn't orgasms. It is that people need to sleep.

This is interesting because it also potentially solves the problem of particulate pollution from brake dust. There’d still be pollution from tire wear so it’s not a perfect fix but it gets partway there!
IntelliJ is superior in every way. Better than NetBeans and Eclipse.
Why would they when they let Qualcomm go away with it?
Would be easier to find Bob's stolen identity information on the darkweb and open a new account under those credentials. If not Bob, then someone else. Fairly easy to get a set of stolen US identity documents these days.
If people say they have nothing to hide, ask them if they close/lock the door when they use the bathroom. It's not like their doing anything secret in the bathroom, I mean there's only a few number of things people realistically do in there and we all know what they are.

This is the best way I've been able to illustrate the difference between privacy and secrecy. Some things I do are just private, doesn't mean that they are secret.
Sarbanes-Oxley was supposed to do this.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarbanes%E2%80%93Oxley_Act
What do I have to hide? Legally, nothing. In my day-to-day life, I don't do anything that is a crime. I'm not using lots of drugs, I'm not into illegal porn, I'm not committing fraud, robbing banks, or planning anything illegal. But I still don't want everyone to know what porn I view, what I did as a child, what I plan on doing next year, or when I am or I am not at home.

While I may having nothing I need to hide, I have lots of things I want to hide. It's just happens that all the stuff I don't care about hiding are all the things these privacy consuming companies want. For others, they want to hide more and that's ok too.
I fundamentally disagree with the premise.

I believe a hacker, or bad actor in general, will gain access to my data if they really really wanted it. I believe stealing data is just a function of time and resources (money). Based on this premise, I don't keep anything truly valuable available digitally. Sure, I have my bank accounts secured, but nothing past start practices.

I do not believe my feelings on this mean I do not care about free speech, nor do I not care about privacy. I believe our reality is that no one should be surprised if their data is stolen. People should plan on this happening and be prepared. Just as corporations have Incident Response and Business Continuity plans.
I tried cljfx earlier this year for a prototype and was really satisfied with the developing experience. But I was also quite disappointed when I learned about the GraalVM incompatibility; it would have been a dream to have AOT and fast startup times.
True but your arguments here largely regard deliberate speech, whereas the post is more about personal data. What OS is running on your phone doesn't really make a difference in whether you get cancelled over something your posted on social media 10 years ago.
The only time I've ever gotten someone "with nothing to hide" interested in data privacy was when I made an idle comment about ads I saw after sharing their IP address that were clearly targeted at them. That idle comment was accidentally 10x more convincing than any amount of rigorous argument.

IME people who have "nothing to hide" get suddenly more interested in data privacy if it stops being an abstract threat. They see Google knowing their intimate secrets in much the same way they would their hairdryer. Until they dont.

Unfortunately, that will probably happen for most people about two weeks before a stasi-like secret police takes full control over the country and by that point it'll have been about 10 years too late to start taking data privacy seriously.
> ...i wonder how that language gained so much popularity.

Well, we should not underestimate the power of corporate backers pushing and hyping their languages. And once the hype picks up momentum, it takes a lot to slow it down.
I remember helping out at school to install Lotus Smartsuite on a room full of PCs from floppies. The box was about 2 foot long. We had to relay them from one PC to the next so we could install them all roughly at the same time.
> If they do make contact for a return, make sure to receive a copy of their incorporation documents, signatures of its largest shareholders, a copy of government issued ID, a liveness test, proof of address in the form of a utility bill dated within 3 months. A copy of its last…

Quality bantz from the peanut gallery
Tax is always on margin, so making more to put you into a different “bracket” does nothing. The only thing this could change is if they couldn’t pay $250k without THEIR burden changing in regards to how they’re paying you, but seems unlikely.
Tangentially related a guy did the same thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32503541
Ah yes, the building really drives home the message that no expense will be spared on the ruling class once the revolution has happened and the peasants settle in beneath their new oppressors :-)
Is the Aptera doing this? I remember them talking about having the motors in the wheels but I'm not sure if it's what you're proposing.
As someone who is inside the academic publication loop, I am in favor of double-blind, non-public peer reviews because I don't want to invite 4Chan into my daily work.

I believe that double-blind, non-public reviews do a great job at protecting those in a more precarious situation: grad students are not judged by their lack of publication record, there is no permanent public record of all those times they got rejected, and reviewers can be both more honest and more certain that a rejection won't lead to a 4Chan/Twitter mob coming for them.

According to the ACL's 2019 survey [1], "female respondents were less likely to support public review than male respondents". I'd be weary of implementing any changed that would make academia even more hostile to women and minorities.

any ideas on real life Use Cases?
Let me blow your mind:

"What happens to the suspensions when you brake"

Depends on the suspension!!

Earles front suspensions rise on braking, transferring weight to the rear. Its counter intuitive until you realize that the forward momentum of the bike is on an arm that has to rise to allow forward motion of the body relative to the front tire.

I think BMWs paralever could also rise on braking, but could be adjusted not to and all were.
People are unable to distinguish "prices have gone up from money printing" from "prices have gone up due to the pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine". Neither bitcoin nor gold can hedge against the latter.
Undecided is not quite the same as true. My understanding is that there can be statements that are necessarily true within a given set of axioms, but still unprovable using a proof of limited length.
Don't forget the infinite families of higher order polynomials that can have arbitrary shapes beyond the point the observed data ends.
Also, more exposed to salt spray than inboard motors.
Revolut is not a bank in the UK
Take revenue instead of profit and make it impossible to claim those fines as losses for tax purposes.
My kids play Roblox. It has been a great experience for them.

I've seen a lot of critical articles. I find them to describe a completely different experience than we have had.

The fact that it is hard to get attention for your games is just a good life lesson, when the kids grow up and decide to be youtubers they will learn it then too. That's not a bad thing.

Meanwhile they get very creative games for free (more creative / fun than the traditional video games out there), a free development environment to play and learn on.
Apparently they haven't updated the docs yet. https://openjfx.io/javadoc/19/ gives a 404, whereas https://openjfx.io/javadoc/18/ works.
This is my favourite take.

Seeing the arrests in Edinburgh this past week has been heart wrenching. It's just... I thought we were better than that?
Author of the article here. I bought one of Rickover's books and am currently reading through it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Yeah, that was happening too, but I was getting an earful of terrible economic viewpoints in the earlier days.

I guess they could have all been lying to puff up their investments, but then I guess I'm left with thinking those particular people were stupid and liars.
Kotlin folks are working on something like that. There is multiplatform UI toolkit that targets native, android, java desktop, web and who knows what. I do not remember the name (Synergy, Fusion?, jetpack?)
Just my opinion, but I see more form over function there. Molded plastic chairs? No thanks, used to work in an office that went that route for conference room chairs…was beyond awful, but good if you never wanted people to use your conference room.
This is so obvious I keep want to say it in topics like this: What have we gained with all this automation if clowns decide % fees are reasonable. Before you know it large players capture the market and we are stuck with ever growing fees. What percentage of startups are trying to improve something vs hoping to capture a market? How do you even tell the difference at this point?

Things are so silly that numbers cost money now. Many imagined the dystopian future where people are numbers but few could picture it this dark... You would think you got your own number and are stuck with it. In stead you merely get to rent a number and if you cant pay the rent the system is to troll you hard for god knows how long.

How is this superior to cash?
Of course. But they don't assess themselves :)
> And what happens should they theoretically fail to pay?

They pay more or lose access to billions in sales. It's both as complicated and as simple as that.
Will this be abused like the <marquee> tag and animated gifs.
I'm not so sure that low latency is the most important thing in each case. Personally, in our case, we wouldn't care - specifically we're only requesting (detailed) information per IP on a small set of specific events (i.e. login, signup) and additionally those calls to ipinfo/ipdetective would be async anyway. So perhaps there are two use cases here: 1. low latency, high volume). 2. Higher latency but lower volume or don't care about minimising latency to below 20ms.
I'm honestly having trouble imagining anything valuable in my life that isn't digital at the point. My pets I guess?

Do you have physical notebooks full of information that you don't like to keep in digital format?
I dread being around when Malthusian predictions start to be realized.
I think you're thinking of the Amiga, which had support for ColorFonts – the Kara collection was made famous by Deluxe Paint
I'd ship it in pennies if it were up to me. And lobby the US government for a special issue penny that carries a 99% tax when used.

The EU can suck it.
Here’s the FlightRadar24 blogpost reporting it - https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/final-flight-of-queen-eli...
This is a good point to call out. I'm going to add a link in the article.
"There are many valid reasons for not wanting to take part in the covid vaccine experiment."

I will just ignore the full three phase trials on volunteers, because I am an antivaxer.
More abandoned projects. Keep an eye on Google Graveyard : https://killedbygoogle.com/
That argument has never convinced anyone, ever. It's almost as bad as "then give me your credit card number".
There's the recent story about a man texting pictures of his son's infected <groin area> to his wife and doctor, then Google deletes his account and won't give it back. Oh, and the local law enforcement had a case on him about it. Tell me what evil this man did to deserve what happened.

He had nothing illegal to hide, but got screwed anyway. Privacy would have been useful in this situation, wouldn't it?
So a big reason why this probably wouldn't fly is that it has a common mode failure which is loss of power. Most EVs don't use permanent magnetic motors so it needs power to be able to use the motors for regen. So lets say the relay fails from the main battery pack suddenly you have no power, and no way to energize the coils in the motors to use them to regen. This could be mitigated by using permanent magnet motors but you still have the issue if control power is lost the vehicle cannot stop. The beauty of hydraulic brakes is that they work really well with power, but still function without it.
It took Google several years to notice tens of millions in fraudulent invoices from one guy: https://www.npr.org/2019/03/25/706715377/man-pleads-guilty-t...

If this had been kept quiet, I think the odds are high it would have never been noticed. I don't think Google has any of their own internal special sauce on their invoicing and payment. They are just as bad at it as everyone else.
That's how they will make money after their current golden goose, automatic transmissions with "lifetime oil changes," is exhausted.
Nearly all developed countries have birth rates below the replacement level. The cluster of reasons for this effect is indeed almost certainly why population levels will level off

Cats Give the Laws of Physics a Big Stretch
That’s a really deep question. If our brains are like digital computers, then yes, that’d be true. But they could be like analog computers, quantum computers, or something we don’t yet have the ability to describe.
And both are illegal ubder Sarbanes-Oxley for public US companies. SOX came into being after Enron went bust for, among other things, doing exactly that. Because it is a very easy way to cook your books. If a company is doing it, it mounts to fraud and is a red flag.
>... as of now it's risk for the developer to use Google Fonts.

Couldn't the developer download and host the font locally instead of calling back to Google's servers to load the font?
Simple wire transfer. Some time later they (or their lawyers) will get a letter with IBAN number (idk about curia.eu, but in Poland the account would be in central bank). Also a wire title which they need to add to wire order so the transfers can be identified. It doesn't need to be a single transfer, but all of them need to arrive before stated date.

Again idk about this particular court, but also in Poland (and I expect most EU countries) they're also allowed to pay at the counter with a "legal tender" (cash and some limited legal papers like promissiory note), that is, they're free to dump truckload of coins at the main entrance, should they procure such an amount.

Over here people do it sometimes to vent themselves if they loose a case. Typically police will get called, but it's the cashier's job description to count the money, and they can't require extra payment for that, so in extreme cases the office gets locked for a whole day.
Have you looked at Upwork? We pay some of our offshore Customer Service people through Upwork. I'm not directly involved in that but presumably the economics work as their hourly rates are between $5-$15 per hour.
I once flew out of Miami's seaplane harbor, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Seaplane_Base , to get to The Bahamas on an amphibious aircraft; one of these - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_G-73_Mallard .
