Edge has the unique position of being the first browser you have access to on a fresh Windows PC, so if it stands in the way of changing browsers, it's uniquely problematic.

The fact that 95% of people are trying to change to Chrome doesn't deny the merits of Mozilla's complaints. Remember, anything they put in the way of switching to Chrome will also be deployed against any other browser they consider a threat.
This only happened a few weeks ago so no one really knows how it will shake out.

That being said— nothing seems to have changed with regard to pizza places offering direct delivery. The changes on “the apps” are very noticeable but direct ordering seems normal.

I should note this is based on almost completing the order flow, I’m not so dedicated to data gathering that I ordered a bunch of food to test this.
As someone who worked in pricing for a SAAS company I often explained what I called the “greed-charity” scale with 0 being “full greed, take in money but provide nothing” and 10 being “full charity, provide everything for free” and ask “what does a 5 look like for this product/feature”?

> Perhaps you should clarify what "stolen" means.

There are two senses of theft at issue:

1. Some government establishes (or expands) its sovereign territory through violent conquest.

2. Private parties obtain a service from said government and the society it ostensibly represents without paying in full for it (specifically: the issuance, recognition, and enforcement of land titles/boundaries, those being definitionally subsets of said government's sovereign territory - which, again, may or may not have been obtained through violent conquest)

Here in the US, both of those sorts of theft are in play:

1. The entirety of US territory was obtained either by conquering it from other entities (e.g. Native American tribes, Mexico, Spain) or by purchasing it from other powers who had previously done so (e.g. France, Spain, Britain, Russia).

2. The US government (or state/local subdivisions thereof) issues and enforces deeds representing subsets of its sovereign territory to landowners, at the exclusion of the rest of its citizenry - yet the landowners do not pay anywhere near the full rental value of the land to said government or said citizenry.

> Am I to assume that every piece of land has an "original owner"? Who is that?

In the case of American land, that'd be the indigenous peoples thereof.

In a more general/legal sense, the "original owner" would be the government of whose sovereign territory that land is a subset. If that government ostensibly represents its citizens, then said "original ownership" would rest with each and every individual citizen equally. As Locke explained in his Second Treatise of Government:

> Nor was this appropriation of any parcel of land, by improving it, any prejudice to any other man, since there was still enough and as good left, and more than the yet unprovided could use. So that, in effect, there was never the less left for others because of his enclosure for himself. For he that leaves as much as another can make use of, does as good as take nothing at all. Nobody could think himself injured by the drinking of another man, though he took a good draught, who had a whole river of the same water left him to quench his thirst. And the case of land and water, where there is enough of both, is perfectly the same.

That is: every member of society is entitled to an equal share (by value) of the land on which that society exists. Those who own more than their equal share of that land value owe compensation to those who own less than their equal share. The lack of said compensation is theft.
> But it takes millions to create such movements

Such movements are harder to take root in cultures that empower the individual and limit the authority of those in power to direct the lives of millions.
1. If he got caught, he wasn't doing it correctly. I don't get negative feedback. I just know to avoid getting praise. I strive to be a reliable and hard to notice drone.

In Cage's original performances, he had a page turner. No joke.
anyone seen the new update its so cool and i dont have to use ctrl+f anymore it also saves progress
I disagree. Wind causes a different type of damage than mud slides, storm surges, etc.

For instance, if you live at high altitudes, you can ignore storm surge when preparing your house.
> Some have even done this after initially allowing me to sign up using it, changing their policy sometime after I've signed up, and I usually only notice when I end up locked out of my account.

Viber did this to me. My Viber account is from 2012. I only found out when I switched phones.
How does this philosophy handle identifiers like file names, folder structures, and especially database indexes? Seems like the server is going to need to have some knowledge of these. Unless everything is done within a secure enclave?
It can't, like its is already the case with the Airbus, where the computer wont allow maneuvers, that would compromise the integrity of the air frame due to excessive G's.
I don't know. I like when my ISP or power company let's me opt-into texts about outages and provides periodic updates (as long as you can reply STOP).

I was on a 2 week camping trip and a nasty storm rolled through my home state. Power went out for 5 days and I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for the SMS notifications. I immediately cleared out my fridge and freezer when I got back.
The assembly generated by cproc is more efficient than that generated by TCC, which is not great.
Will look into this, thanks for letting me know.
I don't think there's anything the government can do to improve the marketplace for gig workers. This is one time I think the government needs to stay out of it. Let the market decide.

Pocket space is finite. There's no way I'm carrying a yubikey unless I can jam it in my laptop USB port (defeating the purpose of it) and forget about it.
This is very cool. Brings backs memories and makes me feel very old. I can't believe what was once the fastest computer I'd ever used can now be emulated on a business card.
So, story. I worked in a small shop that wrote CAD software. DEC leant us one of the machines to port to Ultrix. We got the port done and the box sat around, occasionally used for debugging and new builds.
One day, my buddy and I were playing nerf football in the office. I missed a catch, and the ball hit a can of coca-cola sitting next to the nice $20k loaner DECstation, which poured directly into the case (from the side).
I reached down instinctively and yanked the power cord out of the wall (knowing that was probably not going to help much). When we opened the box, we found the most beautiful little circuit board, mounted an inch off the floor of the case. The bottom of the case was a perfectly flat piece of metal, with nothing touching it (the board was mounted to the sides). There was a pool of soda under the board, and nothing important, nothing electronic was touched. I sponged out the case, gingerly plugged it back in and it booted up.
This was the only thing we ever did in the office that we never told the boss about.
> no one's trying to compare across different traditions

Except that this is precisely what 18th century European musical theorists did, a practice that continues to the present day in some (not all) music education institutions.

While you can certainly hear jokes made in Africa, India and Asia about various deficencies of European music, what you will not find on those continents is a dominant cultural practice of explaining the inherent superiority of their own musicking.

And yes, it is also true that the culture that engages in this is but a single subset of European musical culture, but it also happens to be the dominant one, embraced by both the educational establishment and the elites across the continent. They may look down on certain Basque folk traditions as well as Gamelan and Carnatic traditions, but looking down is precisely what this European phenomena does whenever other traditions are under discussion.
What do you mean “the energy of a baseball”? A baseball at what speed?
That's always been true. It's also why free markets work so well - they make money by providing to society what society wants.
Right? The unlabeled nucleotide will still fit in a binding pocket for the labeled version. And it should always have better binding.

But this is an obvious issue. With this type of photo-reaction, you’ll get a build up of unlabeled nucleotides. There is still some potential for the technology, but it’s really hard for me to see how this works in one tube without some kind of washing (which also increases costs by a lot).

Maybe there is a way to add multiple moieties to the NTPs, such that removal of the fluorophore would cause a bigger hindrance? (Fluorophore + extra-moiety would bind, but extra-moiety alone would have more trouble binding?)
So far the best solution I've seen to save on BigQuery costs is to deploy your own ClickHouse.

It has its own gotchas and quirks, but cost-wise it's not even comparable.
That’s not the use case in discussion.
HN users have long been calling Facebook a dead platform because none of their contacts are there. Yet FB has 130M dau in north America. Threads will be fine too.
You have no idea of what companies are capable of doing. They probably wanted to do it much earlier but had to wait until the work was "complete".
Those ticket buying screens are going to need a lot of extra space: Click here to check-in your luggage, one extra selection box to be away from the emergency exit, extra $50 for not flying on a Boeing, $100 for a two pilot flight...

> You have a seat in company for what you will do, not what you have done.

that's fine, but netflix pays for this privilege by high salary from the get go.

If you worked for a startup, i assume the salary isn't going to be as high. Instead, you'd expect to be paid in equity.

So by firing someone as soon as they're done (meaning their future equity vesting is lost now), they lose a lot of what would've been theirs had the company's long term potential been great as a result of their work.
what do you even mean by "Why are we validating ids"?
zzzzyyyy-zyzy-zyzy-zzyyzzyyzzyy does this look like a valid ID? I could totally store this in the database if there was no validation involved
Hindsight is 20/20; You are talking about decades of nuanced iteration and missing the fact that we all need to buy computers from someone. As soon as capitalism enters the equation, we are no longer looking at global optimums for the advancement of humanity. It could have been a lot worse too.

An apt quote comes to mind, “science advances one death at a time.” I tend to think this is human nature playing out. Each generation has stalwarts that hold back progress; It’s a natural outcome of our social structure and societal norms. I would even argue that there is significant value in not advancing too fast!
Notifications are fine, what I mean is more things like verifying it is your account, forgot password etc.

Anything tied to material account actions shouldn't have anything to do with SMS.

Flight delays or notifications of works in your area etc won't lead to account takeovers or denying access to your account - but the way many companies use SMS can potentially lead to this.
Once I was in a situation where I could either have wired ethernet or cell service, but not both (it was a 30 minute drive to cell service). There was no way to log into my Google account because it decided my laptop was suspicious (due to the strange IP address, probably).

When I got back to civilization, I turned off Google 2FA, and will never turn it back on, at least for personal accounts. I would rather drop my usage of their services than deal with their account login bullshit.
Don't worry, soon Google Voice will be abandoned by tehGoog.

(Perhaps this is just dread since I use it for the same purpose)
previous palantir & scale ai engineer w/ an ai data science startup here. we found that RAG on a large corpus was the best outcome, not just RAG on queries, but RAG across any data the org uploaded to our system, athena intelligence. semantic search on documents, slack, and other sources provided better outcomes w/ on-prem models too. this has allowed us to unlock some novel analytics workflows including multi-modal, figma style, etc. we also just opened up our platform for public access. currently working with enterprises like anheuser-busch.

I'm skeptical about one of the opening sentences in the article: "category 5 underestimates actual risk".

Category 5 cyclones/hurricanes are already assumed to essentially destroy everything in their path. This will still be true regardless of how strong the winds get.

Having experienced several lower category cyclones, there really isn't a lot to do except 1/ evacuate if you've got time and a place to go or 2/ bunker down and pray. It's just luck that I've not experienced a direct hit from a higher category storm.
A first edition from any reasonably well known author from 50 years ago or before is automatically pretty valuable as a basic rule of thumb. Especially if it’s the authors first or second book.
> SMS for anything other than one-time use cases is terrible.

I can agree it's unacceptable for security while also disagreeing with this statement.
Eh. It still makes the credentials rotating credentials instead of permanent credentials. If your username + password + single TOTP value gets stolen, they won't be able to re-auth once that credential gets invalidated.

So say a site accidentally logs auth attempts, and someone finds the log. Sure, they know your username + password now, but they don't know a good current TOTP value. And TOTP values are supposed to be one-time-use, so even if they catch it quick it'll be invalid very fast.

Its better than not having TOTP, but not quite as secure as it could be. Theoretically its still something you know and something you have in that its something you "know", the static password, and something you "have", the rolling TOTP generator.
Please stop working more than 40 hours a week. It’s your choice, and you don’t need to choose to.

When it goes badly, you also don’t need to use it as a point of honor. It’s not. It just means you let your employer exploit you.

Doing it because you want to is a little different. I often do. But you have to understand that the only thing you’ll get out of it is mild intellectual gratification, and sometimes not even that.
BQ works better and costs less with clustered and partitioned tables.

Who would have thought?!
BigQuery seems to suffer from being overly internal Googly.

A bizarre conversation I witnessed between the BigQuery team and my company at the time (a major customer):

Company: "We need to be able to see our consumption and a breakdown of our bill"

BQ team: "Oh, yeah. We can see how that would be useful. We should probably build that..."

Like, this was a GA product without any thought given to self-serve billing visibility.

I realize billing is usually the last thing bolted on, but I'd expect some basics to be in place before the product ships.
Not to be argumentative, but $1M isn’t very much money, certainly not for a project of this scope. It’s a testament to the creativity, competence, and dedication of those involved they’ve gotten this far with such little funding. Hopefully their early success will attract more resources to this very worthy project.

Small consultancies also tend to fall into the trap of having one client (often their first client) that they utterly depend on the money from... but who doesn't depend on them to be able to survive. That customer almost always knows the relationship is unbalanced in their favor (sometimes they went into the relationship specifically because they knew it would be that way) and they will run you ragged with unreasonable requests, burning out your staff and ruining your relationships with other clients because you have to keep them happy so they keep writing checks (and then you're even more dependent on them, as a rancid little bonus).

The only way out is to either gut your way through it till you grow enough to be able to push back without risking your existence; detect that things are going that way early and fire them as a customer before it ever gets to that point... or keep burning out staff till you can't find fresh faces, then close up shop.
What's science compared to the "requirement" of getting a valid phone no-account link to sell to Google and Facebook?

Right now I've been watching this 12 hour analysis of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace [1] , I'm not a huge Star Wars fan in fact I haven't seen them pretty much since I was a kid, however this video is so entertaining and goes so much in depth over interesting stuff that not only I'm close to finishing it but also I'm compelled to watch all the films now.

Not an answer to your question, but venting about Sapiens's borderline

Stock goes where the sales are. If lots of Chinese EV cars are going to Europe, it means that the Europeans are buying them.

European manufacturers are becoming less and less competitive on the world market. Their sales are dropping. Their sales will be replaced by more competitive Chinese sales.

The West is rapidly losing its edge.
It's not about what you deserve. It's about your contract with the employer.

For example, when you hire a plumber to fix something, do you pay him what he deserves, or do you pay him the amount agreed upon in advance?
I would love for plastic to have a shelf life of exactly 100 years. That would make it robust enough for multiple lifetimes but wouldn’t litter the earth for the next 100,000.
The breakdown on how the MMU works is one of the clearest and most readable descriptions I've seen. Usually my eyes glaze over and I get lost in the details, but this is quite well written.

By definition, all labor on which another profits is a case of exploitation, regardless of length in time.
In India, the solution is simple. Carrier don't know sms to be recieved till the time sim swap is completed. Sms is by far the best option for 2fa
Hugely appreciated.

Judging by the description on Skeptics I’d expect strongly Kantian views to not be very well received (they don’t particularly align with physicalism, and I find when people mention “science” they typically mean physicalism/materialistic monism), but who knows!
I do think people should learn about Rojava - Kurds are doing a libertarian socialist revolution and they care about ecology and feminism which is very unique. I'm just afraid that fascist Turkey will destroy their project, but if not then they are a strong demonstration of anarchist/libertarian socialist ideas - they already have much higher standard of living then the rest of the Syria.
not only that, they just posted a great quarter and their stock's taken a jump on that news.
Google Voice (the free service) has its own pitfalls, which I believe make it a very poor choice to use for online accounts. I’m speaking from personal experience. If you happen to not use it for a little while, Google Voice will send an email with minimal notice (with Murphy’s Law, this will be during a vacation break) that the number will be deactivated. Once that happens, you cannot reclaim that Google Voice number using the same linked phone number. You have to get a new phone number that has never ever been used with Google Voice and then try to link it. Even then, Google Voice will send the OTP and make it seem as if the linking worked but will show as unlinked (and the Google Voice number unavailable) after just a minute or two. You’ll have to retry with another number over and over again until you start banging your head against the wall. After maybe a few weeks or several weeks, that Google Voice number will not even show up for reclamation.

Google Voice is a total mess, and as a “free” consumer service that Google has shown little interest in maintaining and supporting, you don’t get any kind of support or help whatsoever.

My sincere advice (if you’re a free Voice user) would be to delink your Google Voice number from all critical services. Get a real phone number for which you have the ability to get customer support.
When it's still enough runway to trim it down, there's often still some hope of greater success - and a VC investor might believe that it's more valuable to have a 1% chance of it becoming a unicorn or a few percent chance of arranging some last-minute buyout, rather than pick up the 100% certain but low price it has as a non-growth business based on its revenue.
I've updated the first line to clarify what I was meaning here
The scroll segmentation looks like it'd be a very manageable task for distributed volunteer work too, at least as a kickstart if that's really the bottleneck now. Just a 100 or 1000 halfway dedicated volunteers (small by internet standards, for a useful and simple task) could make a big dent. Don't know how many scan layers are in a single scroll, but for instance Project Gutenberg's proofreading network has processed millions of pages, one by one.
Nobody in the right mind will fire key software engineer 48 hours after system goes live.

Perhaps there was a backstory of sorts we're not aware of. But there is absolutely nothing surprising about companies firing people right after handing over huge and/or critical projects. They do it all the time, for both good reasons and bad. Managers in finance are known to be especially "bold" in making decisions like these.
That wouldn't defeat the purpose of it.

In that comment. Look at their other comments and you can see a clearer picture of trollish hate.
Because the people they want have options. If you want a hotshot CEO who could go and work for Google and make tens of millions per year, you have to sweeten the pot to get them to accept.

So they have golden parachutes which say "for any reason, except fraud or other criminal actions, we guarantee you'll get $X millions when you leave".
I’ve been in cat 1 and cat 2 storms. They’re awesome in their power for destruction. I’ve evacuated from a category 4 storm, which did a huge amount of damage in the city when it hit.

A category 5 storm is essentially going to destroy everything in its path already. What good would adding a 6th category do?
