Why not? It would seem that you're just used to a state of exploitation and selective application, both of which are a mockery of justice. Sometimes it helps to see things from an outsider's perspective.
"Should I make this stapler mine and take it home?"

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
A court can't set hard limits. It's up to a legislative body to enact clearly defined laws.
The problem they’re worried about is untrustworthy browser extensions that have broad permissions to do harm. There are over 100,000 extensions and from a security standpoint, not having good-enough sandboxing is a vulnerability.

> In reality, Manifest V3 was meant to solve a real problem — and to do so for the right reasons. I know this because about eight years ago, we set out to conduct a survey of the privacy practices of popular browsers extensions. We were appalled by what we uncovered. From antivirus to “privacy” tools, a considerable number of extensions hoovered up data for no discernible reason. Some went as far as sending all the URLs visited by the user — including encrypted traffic — to endpoints served over plain text. Even for well-behaved extensions, their popularity, coupled with excessive permissions, opened the doors for abuse. The compromise of a single consumer account could have given the bad guys access to the digital lives of untold millions of users — exposing their banking, email, and more.

Maybe they could have avoided controversy by grandfathering in a few popular extensions and watching them closely?
I got a solution for you then. Any kid caught using their phone in school is expelled. We shall put personal responsibility and consequences as the primary objective. Does this solve your issue.
What's also annoying is that some MFA providers like Microsoft Authenticator and Authy lock you into their platforms, no export or offline backups features, at least without a rooted phone.
My, hopeful, thought is that normal people don't like all this stuff and the extremists don't have the ability to moderate themselves, especially as their exposure to other stuff affects their sense of what is normal or moderate.

It's a digital version of a Trump speech. Maybe if he could stick to specific pre-approved lies he'd do better, but it's more fun to attack people.
>Do I break your balls further by pointing out there was never a “Pentium 1” CPU?

You could try to be pedantic to distract from your obvious problem that your computer hardware is slow. "Pentium 1" means the original "Pentium" CPU, it is meant to disambiguate because "Pentium" could refer to Pentium 2, or Pentium 3, but I wanted to be clear that your computer is as slow as an original Pentium computer. But sure, go ahead and be pedantic instead of admitting your computer is slow.

>Do I break your balls too and say “I’ve never had any delay” and “there was about 4 seconds delay” are mutually-exclusive?

I said 4 seconds *TOTAL* delay. So that's 2 seconds delay across two actions, which I don't consider to be any real delay at all in the context of clicking on websites, and is certainly nowhere near the 30 seconds you claimed. If you really are seeing 30 seconds of delay (I doubt you've actually measured it), then your computer hardware is definitely to blame, and not Amazon. This is a you problem, not an Amazon problem.
Obligatory disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer.

5 years in Europe (UK) for the same employer, then posted to the US subsidiary on a L visa. Couple of years on that, then adjustment of status to a green card. All told, about seven years in the US before a green card.

I don't expect the situation to change because of the election. Specifically because European countries are not the Central American nor Asian countries that give politicians pause. If you wanted to immigrate from India or Mexico,
you would have an incredibly hard time no matter who is the next president.

If your aim is to get to North America and leave Europe: then Canada, and specifically Quebec for French speakers, may be an attractive option. The Canadians are going through their own wrangling about the effects of immigration on their society however. So I expect things to get harder. But Quebec is generally very keen on educated European French coming over. Again you might be looking at several years to complete the process.

If your aim is NYC/SF or bust, then going via Canada is an option, but it's not an especially great one, because while you are doing all this stuff with moving and visas and housing etc, the clock is ticking. You might be talking 10-15 years from departing CDG to holding a US green card.

L1 is an interesting visa class because the management version L-1A doesn't (or didn't: IANAL) require your employer to prove to the US authorities that no US national exists to do your job (aka "labor certification"). The specialist knowledge L-1B does. And it is not an easy thing to prove. I strongly suggest that you spend time working at your European employer in a well-documented management capacity before filing for L-1A prior to your posting to the US. You can mutate L-1B into L-1A, but it is very hard.

Re: O visa, there are no guarantees or hard rules of what the US authorities will accept, but more evidence, from peers in your industry, helps. If you think about someone like Mustafa Suleyman, he didn't go the PhD and academic prizes/paper route, but I guarantee that Google/MSFT's lawyers could easily get him an O visa based on his position in the industry. That said, O visas are commonly used for academics that get poached from Europe by deep-pocketed US universities.

> The problem was always, quite explicitly, that nobody within the Go team had the full expertise necessary to create something that wasn't going to be a nightmare later. As you may recall, once they finally got budget approval to hire an outside domain expert, the necessary progress was finally made.

This is a very interesting part and looks like you know about what happened. I wonder how come Go team had many super talented experts (Pike and Thompson for example) with a "power" of Google behind them and generics were an issue at all, while for example Crystal being a very similar language with native code generation, similar concurrency model and no big tech behind it managed to pull it off?

I've read some comments of devs who used both and they say Crystal is just plainly better.
This just doesn't make sense to me, the biggest tech company on the planet should create a language that is head above everything else, but ended up being just good.
We tried to compete on price in a market that really wasn't as price sensitive as it claimed to be. Yes some people wanted to "pay less" but in reality the big players were happy to pay the "industry standard" rate. Many of those big players we would later find were happy to pay far more even. For every player who wanted to "pay less" there were easily 10 that would pay more to get the opportunities their competition wasn't willing to pay for.

Looking back I feel totally stupid about it.
Agreed. There are plenty of good solutions for gaming on Linux today.

But these solutions are lot more complex than the default windows experience of download steam, install game, play. Many people don’t want to tinker, they want to play their game, not the operating system.
Why would that be an issue?
Isn't it fundamentally the same as with the horizontal centering via margin: auto for inline-blocks?

That would've been impressive for sure! A somewhat recent world record[1] I just found shows a blindfolded simul for 48 boards, with 80% win! (All boards correctly turned, I'd expect and hope!)

The games in the article must've been a normal "simul"[2], which was what I enjoyed playing too.

wait a second, what? If I use the same email for another account, I could get randomly locked out from some other account.

I just checked my app., there are 2 different emails for 2 entries, other entries are provider specific.

Is there a good way to migrate from MS Authenticator and what options do I have?

One of the entries without the Issuer correctly set is Outlook.com itself. WTF!
How did you realize they were a bad fit?
I’m not well versed in C++’s exception system, but why can’t the unwind system itself call std::terminate? Why does it need to be the annotated method (that unwinding returns to)?
Yeah, I thought the network effect would be "wow this site is even more garbage than before" and then go somewhere else, but I guess not.
I mean, we used to call this "adversarial interoperability" (and now half of the time it’s evil scraping or some such, with Cloudflare selling countermeasures...).
It depends on the mangled interpretation and enforcement of the courts, and the courts are run by evil motherfuckers.
A court can set a more relaxed upper bound at say 60 days. A legislative body can then come in and set a tighter bound at say 30 days, or at any value that doesn't exceed 60 days. In this way, a court can indeed set a hard limit. How is rational decision making supposed to work without numbers?
Misused, zxcvbn offers its own security issues.

First, it's not either-or. You can match against zxcvbn strength and some passwordlist.

Second, think of the output of zxcvbn as a very weak hash with a low collision rate. E.g. 'correct-battery-horse-staple' maps to an estimated 213811968952000000000 guesses. In addition to being potentially algorithmically reversible, attackers can simply perform an offline attack against the value 213811968952000000000. So, this metric should never be exposed (e.g. in log files, on screen, etc.)

Third, having the estimated entropy helps a lot when password cracking. If you have the password hash digest and the zxcvbn metrics, then it makes the cracker's job much easier by reducing the search space. (Think, going from checking each molecule of an apple to checking only each molecule on the peel of an apple.)

Further, it's not perfect. The zxcvbn library I used suggests 'correct-battery-horse-staple' is a very strong password!
I'm pretty sure Epic Games' "open platform" push has nothing to do with FOSS or antitrust and everything to do with money.

Tim Sweeney's tweet comparing computer users moving from Windows to Linux to "moving to Canada" comes to mind.

Also, a major way that the Epic Games store was funded was via double-digit stock investment from Tencent, one of the largest gaming monopolies and also tech monopolies. Imagine if Facebook, Paypal, Disney, and Microsoft's gaming division merged into one company, and you start to describe Tencent.
Those companies can afford letting people try "Denial of Wallet" attacks on them, though.

I, for one, will still keep using VPNs as an additional layer of security and expose only a single UDP port (WireGuard), to at least reduce the chances of that happening.
Presumably if the location history data is stored on-device in a format accessible to the user, it would not be ridiculously complicated for an existing all-local-data app (such as OSMAnd, which implements an openstreetmap client with locally stored vector map data on Android) to take that same data and overlay it on a map using entirely local resources.

OSMAnd and its competitors are quite useful if you plan to go out to places with really poor or nonexistent cellular coverage, you can easily download the vector data for entire US states or Canadian provinces in advance of your trip.
An better competitor would likely kill twitter in less than a year.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be one. Mastodon is significantly worse in so many ways, for normal people. Other services are not significantly better, which makes it impossible to break the huge network effects that Twitter/X have built over more than a decade.
All motion in space is relative. Wouldn't it also be equally accurate to say this object is motionless and everything else is passing it by at 1M mph?

LLM applications are messy, but AdalFlow has made it elegant!

0.2.0 release highlight a unified auto-differentiative framework where you can perform both instruction and few-shot optimization. Along with our own research, “Learn-to-Reason Few-shot In-context Learning” and “Text-Grad 2.0”, AdalFlow optimizer converge faster, more token efficient, and with better accuracy than optimization-focused frameworks like Dspy and text-grad.
Amazing.

I could see this getting deployed within a Sveltekit, htmx, or HOTWire web application, and reducing my workload by a great deal.
What makes you think that’s bizarre? Presumably one could calculate this from seismic data of the blast, after accounting for the fact that there was still gas in the pipeline despite it not being in use.
Did you pivot your business model after this realization, or did you continue to compete on price?

There is a link to an ongoing test in the downtown area of Tampa, FL. They’ve installed lidar near crosswalks; when a pedestrian is in a crosswalk it broadcasts a “pedestrian in crosswalk” signal that nearby compatible cars hear (they’ve installed receivers in 1000 cars).
I once heard of a behavioral economics paper that said you can reliably predict a judge's ruling on a legal or ethics matter based on what is best for the legal profession.
Very nice! Seems like some of the native apps focusing on audio have done quite well. I hope you are as well.

Even more important in established companies, especially in situations where top executives are not the founders any longer.
Microsoft is putting a shiny new version in front of people's faces, with marketing about advanced AI features, security, etc, and then telling them their hardware isn't supported. Even if Windows 10 is still receiving security patches, your average person is likely going to have the fear of missing out on something great, maybe getting left behind in the AI race by not having Copilot. The logical next choice is to consider buying a new computer just to make sure they're running the latest and greatest, because Microsoft told them it's the only way.

If you spend a lot of time in tech circles, it's easy to get the impression that literally no one really thinks like this. A lot of us may think Windows 11 is mostly just a reskin with some integrated AI bloat that can be mostly replaced with just a bookmark to ChatGPT, but you would have a real hard time explaining that to an average non-techie. These decisions have significant effects on the choices average people make, and you can't just ignore it and assume everyone knows better

Considering there are around twice as many Linux desktop users as Windows 7 (according to Statcounter global stats), I would hardly call it a lot of people
I think you should really ask why you want to be here. The "tech scene" is really all online. I've lived in "tech hubs" and it's not what it looks like from the outside.

Unless you plan on being homeless (which is complicated and very hard even if you're not an immigrant, I know from experience) the high salaries are not going to make up for the high cost of living (especially in SF or NYC) and that would be assuming you had a professional job here (which you don't otherwise you'd have a visa.)

If you're just looking for urban culture there's nothing the US has that France doesn't other than a lot of stuff that's been on television. Maybe take a vacation to Marseille. I always wanted to go there when I was a teenager.

Me and my wife were discussing this earlier, and we both agreed we missed the days of cellphones + PDAs. That era was so much less predatory to our time, and there’s something to be said about the mental separation between “fun text time” and a dedicated work device. It’s just a shame that given the current technological landscape the closest we have to PDAs are tablets, which are typically too large to pocket (and nonetheless an attractive option).
That isn’t true, even just accounting for people expecting the same speed and quality for fringe videos, delivered to mobile devices in any corner of the world, requires mountains of technology.

It’s not that popular culture is bad, it’s that a wasteful way of living isn’t sustainable, and it’s beginning to erode the foundations of our lives.

Ironically the stricter permissions are because browser extensions sometimes have crap security and the Internet is a hostile place.

The browser itself might be pretty much okay, but the extensions are where the terrible code is.
I think the key is balance. The people I’ve worked with who are the most effective and successful are really good at one or a short list of things, but have their hands in many other things.

And often they’re really good at the one thing because they have their hands in many things.

Cultivating a breadth of knowledge often isn’t just being mediocre in a bunch of subjects, but about broadening one’s awareness to potential connections and opportunities.

If you can’t go deep on anything, that shallow knowledge may not get you very far.

But if you can go deep on X subject with enough surface level knowledge of a variety of potentially related topics, you’ll be able to accomplish far more interesting things than someone with equivalent but exclusive knowledge of X.

Sure, I wouldn't argue the businesses were identical, though I don't expect that the DVD rental Netflix looked anything like the streaming Netflix.
