Twitter hacked, 200M user email addresses leaked, researcher says
> this particular device is iPhone 4

Okay, so Wikipedia says the newest OS for that phone is iOS 7.1.2, which was released June 30, 2014. So you've got a phone with no OS updates, including security patches, in ~8 years. Considering that AFAICT Apple bakes webkit updates into the OS, your browser has not been patched in 8 years. Bluntly, HTTPS certs are the least of the reasons that your device has no business being on the internet.
Why assert that everyone is equally capable of learning willpower? There are upper limits to skill acquisition, regardless of how much someone practices.

I’m not convinced willpower is highly trainable either. Your citations don’t claim that.
I prefer semi-automation
It's also weird to claim the philosophy is "stay out of my way" when things like the application menu take over the entire screen, the basically abandoned notion of tablet/laptop/desktop gui convergence has left gnome fairly modal, which makes for a desktop that is frequently throwing itself at you.
I feel kinda bad for Gnome. I don’t use their main program, but I’m sure it’s fine for what it is (Desktop environments seem like a kind of over-complicated unnecessary idea).

They seem to have, by sticking to their guns, become an absolute punching bag for the type of person who cares to complain about tedious UI issues.

It strikes me that they provide a pretty major community service by distracting that group.
The “evil” part is really the core of it to me.

You didn’t go for “menacing” or “powerful” or “aggressive”, the primary angle is not what they could do, it’s their morality.

You shouldn't be - this is the crux to why weight loss is so hard, and something I try to harp on any time I get.

Yes, just for reference, I was fat too once (more than 40lb above my ideal weight). I managed to lose the weight, just like parent, through small, sustainable lifestyle changes.

It's simple: eat less, move more.

But it's not easy. Start small, do things you can do do for the rest of your life.
There's a lot left. "Religion" is not a tightly knit group with a single set of behaviours or teachings. I don't think I can agree that opposing that straw man to end all straw men is the same as disallowing any criticism of anyone.
This is extremely normal in the US. Employers (above a certain size threshold) are required to ask these questions, and to report aggregated statistics to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on an annual basis.

But employees/candidates are not themselves required to answer the questions. And if they do, employers are forbidden from using the information for discriminatory purposes.

(Realistically, if somebody is intent on discriminating based on race/sex/etc., they're going to do it based on the candidate's self-presentation, regardless of how they answer the questionnaire.)
No investing is not like poker. Listen to Warren Buffett on how he invests and do the same. It’s simple. It works.

Core issue is usually multiple writable nodes, therefore conflicts and acting on outdated data. Then there are isolation level issues. More distributed solutions usually opt for eventual consistency.

Enforcing a single writable nodes / primary can go a long way. Of course you've got a lot more options if your data naturally partitions, with few or no relationships among them.
I agree. I wasn't trying to minimize the amazing work that was done I was just trying to make the anti-fragile argument that by overcoming all the inputs the product got very strong.

It's a win when I agree with anyone these days!

I love the discussion here, people are smart, relatively civil, and have a lot of value to add to conversations. One of the few spaces I still learn anything significant from experts in their subjects. Much wisdom here.

And hey whether or not it's right it's still food for thought. Predicting the future is impossible. As I've gotten older I see the same meta-patterns played out again and again, so I try to look for those indicators. I get paid for it, so at least I'm not super terrible at it.

The similarities between what happened to Freenet and what is happening in crypto space are pretty profound. The common denominator is that building extra-governmental spaces just attracts criminals who have no where else to go. The worse the crime, the more attractive the extra-governmental space. The rest of us are not forced to go there, and those that do usually come home with their tail between their legs. It's a brutal space. There's a reason we have governments, the alternative is just terrible.
> Give a bit more freedom and education to people who showed they are willing to fight for it.

People need to eat properly and exercise on a daily basis in to stay fit for service. Most 18-20 year olds have a hard time with discipline. Routine mandatory exercise is a must have for military service. Thus the people with the discipline and "who show willingness to fight for it" and basic competence are the ones that end up leading in the military.
What? Those are exactly the type of solutions economists would prescribe.

Netflix famously pays entirely base salary, letting employees take what percentage as options.

In this case, they are reporting potential base because of their somewhat unique comp structure.

> Like why do I need a keyboard shortcut in order to type out a file path when I try to upload a file in Firefox?

You don't? Just start typing a path (starting with / or ~ or .) and the path picker will switch to a path editor for you. Typing other characters will start a (recursive) search which is what I want to use most of the time myself.

I'd also like them to let you double click the breadcrumbs to switch, but adding an extra action is not necessary in most cases.

Nope. I'm still going to go at them.

The problem is simple:

They used the open-source style goodwill generated by the old thing called GNOME, as it existed with Linux, to bootstrap their current popularity, and this is to me, dishonest.

They used a different style and direction. Had they changed the name and/or been clear and upfront about the fact that "this new my-way-or-the-highway thing isn't the Gnome you're used to," then I could defend them.

Call it something new and let MATE have the old name.

But they're not interested in doing or even acknowledging that. Let the mud slinging continue.
Yes, but the author doesn't seem to care about how easy it is to use existing software; all the criticisms here seem to be attacking the underlying protocol and nitpicking implementation details.

I think those are supposed to be for keeping statistics, there's some government place that companies sometimes have to report to.

I agree and the constant API changes over the last years on GTK+/Glib and GNOME libraries hurt users and developers.
"Youtube university" has most definitely had an effect. Particularly in regards to the lack of pay increase in the trades.

My toilet is leaking? 10 years ago I'd call a plumber. Now I diagnose the problem and determine if it's within my skill level to learn the repair (it usually is). For me, this wouldn't be feasible without online how-to videos.

A plumber/carpenter/electrician will charge me $50-$100/hr for work that I can do myself for just the cost of parts. The cost savings really adds up over the years. Not to mention, I'm getting increasingly self-sufficient as time goes on and I become more confident doing larger repairs and projects.

Most of my friends and acquaintances have fallen into the same path.
Some services still allow the less sensitive account actions after logging out.

Examples of this are eBay (can still edit cart) and AliExpress (can still see unread messages count).

Perhaps YouTube has decided that appending to the watch history is a sufficiently low risk operation that it's fine to do post-logout?

Implementation-wise, I can imagine that watch history is something that might be updated from logs, and therefore there isn't an opportunity to renew any Auth tokens interactively.
Do you have any reading material about this? Intriguing concept.

> GNOME is designed to avoid overwhelming the user with information overload as much as possible, which is a really important topic for usability for the average computer user. Therefore, it does not follow the traditional desktop paradigm, where there is a taskbar, desktop icons, and others - everything is put away until the user needs them.

It almost reads as sarcasm. Even if we skip over the fact that an "average Linux user" isn't exactly an "average computer user," have you met... an average computer user? Try telling them that there are no desktop icons because it will only confuse them.

> Netflix is famous for its all cash total compensation packages.

Netflix uses “total compensation” to mean “total compensation excluding benefits”?

Or Netflix has no (including those required by federal and state law for an employer of their size) benefits?

(And it doesn’t, as it was previously reported to, have “free option” as part of its employee equity program that provides an amount equal to 5% of salary for stock option purchases, which would be very much a non-salary-or-hourly-wage part of total comp?)
The title is not correct and not supported by the article. The article clearly states that Google has not obtained any medical records.

“Ultimately, even through negotiations, we were unable to find a pathway that we legally could do and ethically should do,” Simon said. “And the partnership dissolved.”
This posting has a greater range ($330,000 - $1,800,000):
https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/253949563

As the range is based on total comp, it makes sense. If you are at the bottom of that range (which is likely just the base salary), you will probably be laid off (Netflix is transparent about this). It's still a massive range. I wonder how much of that total comp range is due to them estimating a certain amount of volatility (50%? 100%?) in their stock price.

Hence the clarification. Hopefully it's clear now.

no-one made that claim.

You made the claim - "the multimillenial standard interface for connected text". There's no such standard.
Its the default on those distros because those distros invest on GNOME and GTK and GTK is SW.

QT has an history of being connected with non-free SW licenses, therefore commercial (or company sponsored) for those distros to rely and invest on such project is risky.

Man, I’m a vet, work in tech, and the reactions here are why I hate the tradeoffs I make by being in the industry.

The amount of “what’s the big deal!” or just total blindness to the issue at hand is not surprising but severely disappointing in what it confirms.

These aren’t just random medical records, they belong to service members and extends the theme of the DoD owns you in service and the VA “helps” you after service to… and Google too! It’s just another example of how Soldiers are treated like disposable units and now apparently that extends into my civilian life.

The civilian/military divide lives and breathes in the so-what attitudes in this thread.

I got sick of that myself and got an electric screwdriver, which helped a lot. Keep in mind that I did all the low voltage wiring in the house myself, it was a couple thousand feet of wire. A lot of it was overhead work - boring holes in the joists, etc. I wouldn't say it was pleasant, and lifting that heavy 90 degree Milwaukee drill was a chore.

But I did figure the electricians knew what they were doing, so I watched them. I bought the same tools they used, and went to work.
> Most 18-20 year olds have a hard time with discipline

Discipline is a lens though, not a binary state of having/not having a permanent heart condition. If it's hard, there are usually much better lenses for military levels of upkeep.

Just like there are better models than "willpower" for losing weight.

(As to whether anyone who is proud of their personal discipline level wants to admit that, on the other hand...)

> Is there really nothing in the law preventing companies from doing things like this?

The law specifies that the range must represent the reasonable expectation of the employer of pay for the position, so, were it challenged, it would be a question of fact if that whole range really was both the employers actual expected range, and whether the exepctation of the whole width of the range was objectively reasonable.

I think you underestimate the value of data. It is stock in trade. Without data there is no automation. A lot of it is noise and very little signal.

The one who reigns the era of automation and AI will be the one who possesses all our data.
More than that, I think in time people will become so dependent on it that it will be treated as a deity with all the rituals and supernatural powers that come with it. Primarily because they will have no understanding of how it works. People will believe that there's a magic power that does all the work. It's only a matter of time before it happens.
In the context of option parsing, "POSIX compliant" makes me think of the semantics of getopt(3): https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/g... Notably, the utility conventions and even the guidelines (guideline 14 presumes non-compliance with guideline 7) support optional option-arguments, while the bundling semantics of getopt preclude optional option-arguments. Utilities, including POSIX-defined utilities, which have optional option-arguments cannot use getopt.

Even if they don't get further than the basic types and user-defined types, that would be enough to make my life dramatically easier. I honestly avoid making stuff in typescript, not because I don't love it, but because setting it up is such a pain in the ass.

If I could avoid that step and still have type annotations and tooling support, I would be a happier person.
I can't understand the mindset that says nuclear has been some sort of overwhelming force in power generation. It's been the most tentatively adopted generation tech in history; we've ignored the guaranteed radiation of coal mining while we've had endless worry about nuclear power.

We've pumped a huge amount of money and time into talking about and researching and building renewables, with a much smaller promise of return. Which is fine, but it seems very surprising to speculate that popular nuclear has overshadowed poor unpopular renewables.
Presumably Erlang inherited them from Prolog, too.

My immediate thoughts. If only pianos were typically positioned in the same spot for a long time, allowing to do those measurements once and hang the speakers appropriately from the ceiling. Or make a speaker array in the base and do all sorts of spacial Fourier/phased array madness.

Netflix pays all base, with separate allowances for benefits. It lets employees choose what percentage of their base is granted as options. It's all very public: https://jobs.netflix.com/work-life-philosophy

> Stock Option Program: Each employee chooses each year how much of their compensation they want in salary versus stock options. You can choose all cash, all options, or whatever combination suits you. You choose how much risk and upside (down) you want. These 10-year stock options are fully-vested and you keep them even if you leave Netflix.
It’s starting to read like the blurbs artists have to come up with for their works.

They are worse than the annoying marketing landing pages for most SaaS which are a jumbled mix of buzzwords.

> In the context where we have gone from obesity rates of 13 percent to 40, to suggest that people have a natural weight and that's the cause of this seems absurd to me.

It annoys me too! Human genes haven't changed radically over the last 100 years. We're not dogs or cats where generations can be measured in a year if not months, we're talking roughly 30 years between generations, so no, it's not "genes" or "set point". The answer is obvious for anyone paying even a passing interest to history: we largely went from an agrarian society to a sedentary one, eating more and moving less. It's that simple. Combine this with capitalism pushing the fast food industry to make profits at any externalized cost, and the results are obvious.

As an aside, it always amuses me how people talk about "set point" but never address that it only goes up. If "set point" is a thing, you'd think there would be some people with a lower one, or at a minimum it wouldn't go up (hence it being set), but no one likes to admit that . . .
I think that's more likely to reduce the rate of comments of this type.

The unfortunate thing is, it doesn't reduce the rate. The downvotes and flags do, though - most people are pretty responsive to their comments getting nuked.

It won't happen to this emoji-comment but one of their extra-crappy side-effects is that sometimes they end up on the top of the thread and then all the explanations and exhortations to cut the crap end up eating up the page. This happens pretty regularly and then has to be cleaned up. It can't happen if the comment is sensibly flagged.
