Google's following through on that lofty goal in a reasonable way. Assuming one uses their product lines.

Too bad its still Java though :p (with many advances in sandboxing and security), but I guess Google/Android didn't really have much of an option back then and I'm honestly not sure what would be the better choice now.
looks really cool, but the fromhttpstream endpoint they reference seems to be down or broken
> I don't think this is a revelation to anyone who has been paying attention?

Maybe so, but for casual observers, this lays out the argument very concisely, in a way that might not have been apparent before. (To the average American, "battery company" means Energizer and Duracell, and doesn't seem like a very future-facing sector, so characterizing Tesla as such seems diminutive and hyperbolic.)
Pin-pointing China's attack against GitHub
What's wrong with being more than one thing. They are shaking up A LOT about how we currently think about the ``energy'' models. I think batteries are going to do wonder for countries that don't have a ``grid''.

The coolest thing to me about Tesla is the car is becoming decoupled from what powers the car. It's still electricity but if my power provider was to switch to nuclear, solar, people on bicycles, or coal It would be transparent to me.
Google pulling China CNNIC CA from its products
There's some nuance here.

The ad network whose script/iframe is directly injected onto the top frame can know fairly easily, since they know which accounts should be linked to which domains, however when these inevitably get resold, these subsequent ad networks have a much tougher time.

What ends up happening is that the first thing that gets injected is someone totally shady ad network that doesn't care, who will then resell it to someone slightly less shady, who will bundle it with a pile of other traffic, etc, etc, until it's been laundered enough times that it's hard to separate this out.
I have a difficult time believing this. About 25 years ago I was sailing from San Francisco to San Diego in a small sailboat, and as usual we were about 20 miles offshore to avoid being in shipping lanes. We saw a small yellow canary a half mile away flying, then dropping close to the water, struggling for elevation, repeating this process of almost dropping into the ocean. It looked pathetic and close to death.

The bird saw our boat and landed on it. We gave it water and food, trying not to get close to it. We ended up going towards the shore because we wanted a short stop in Santa Barbara and the bird stayed on our deck until we were very close to shore.

You can get bitcoin anonymously by mining. The weakness is in trading, even then, there are anonymous goods such as digital goods, and probably ways to perform anonymous escrow when trading real goods.

In practice, people don't care, because they aren't doing anything illegal.

A phone recording surviving the crash isn't too implausible. Remember that it doesn't need the whole phone to come through in one piece, only the memory chip (possibly an SD card).

On the other hand, the reason I'm very skeptical about this story is this part: "Near the end there was reportedly a heavy shake and the cabin tilted sharply to one side. After further screams the video ended, Bild said."

The impact speed has been estimated at about 700 km/h, or about 200 metres per second. The fuselage of an A320 is 37 metres long. First impact to complete destruction would take about 1/10 of a second; the described sequence of events takes far too long to be plausible. (The only way it might work is if the first impact was on a wingtip.)

The backend has been so invasively compromised that attackers have dumped the session token store. The thing that the session tokens protect essentially belongs to the attackers. Even if, as a result of crazy overengineering, they can't read the original "seed" secret the store holds authenticators for, they can simply overwrite them.

There is no point to hashing cookies and session keys. Don't bother. It's not just not a best practice. It's something a smart auditor would file a sev:info bug against.
What Designers Can Learn from Product Managers
If you have twice as much as I do, and both of us see our real wealth doubled, we would undeniably both be richer and happier. However, the entirely abstract, purely-on-paper metric "economic inequality" would also double. That, in a nutshell, is why the premise is dubious. If you would argue for sacrificing real-life prosperity in order to prioritize a purely abstract "KPI", you have to prove it.

Zuckerberg is not a leader of anything except Facebook, so it seems kind of silly to expect him to do anything about it.

California actually passed a bond measure last year to improve the water situation[1]. It's easy to sit back and say how dumb everyone is, but I would say most states don't do so well planning for events that may or may not happen every 40 years.

Only as much as Apple was a HDD company with the release of the first iPod.

Yes, their underlying hardware was necessary for the product to be revolutionary, and it was also something that no one else could produce at the time.

But, like Tesla, Apple added a layer of design and marketing that made for a revolutionary UX, as well.

So I agree that Tesla is a battery company, but I don't think that that makes them less of a revolution for the car industry.
Looking for Ruby on Rails Developer
Wello - San Francisco, Software Engineering

We are Wello, a small company acquired by WeightWatchers last year? It is a best of both worlds, brand recognition and no more fundraising and worrying about stability.

Here's why you should consider us:

We were a team of 4 acquired by Weight Watchers International, a brand recognized by almost everyone, including our moms.

We have already built a few products that were launched and are growing under the WW brand.

We are looking for engineers with Mobile, Web and Backend expertise. We are also looking for developers who want to have fun with large scale data. Did you know that the WW has been tracking food data from members since since 2003. Imagine the stuff you can build on top of that long history of data.

We offer competitive compensation and great health benefits.

All 4 of us are staying even after the 1yr mark and now growing because we love what we do and believe in our mission to make people healthier. We have diverse backgrounds (Stanford, Bain, Google, Netflix) and we are looking for you to come join and teach us new tricks!

If you are interested, email me at amol dot kher at weightwatchers dot com and we can catch up over phone or coffee.

I have to admit that this is a brilliant move by Google. In one sweep, they have put the might of the formidable Android ecosystem behind ChromeOS. Well done. Chrome OS is instantly comparable to Linux and Windows if it can run native apps.
Debugging Backwards in Time (2012) [video]
Oh don't worry, Dalvik/ART is completely different from Java, at least for legal purposes.
That could have downsides for both companies.

a) Android becomes the "write once, run anywhere" platform, attracting developers away from native iOS development.

b) Android loses app exclusivity that pulled/locked users into the platform.

"7 Bits Are Not Enough for 2-Digit Accuracy If You're Using a Naive Encoding."

Information theory says you can fit 100 values into 7 bits.

If you're not going to use the right encoding, I can also come up with encodings for which 100 bits isn't enough to fit 100 values.

At the risk of being perceived as chauvinistic, which I absolutely don't consider myself having grown up in a household of capable women, this article seems to be overly sensitive. Some comments are clearly inappropriate and others are overly sensitive. Or at least would require context to take them as a negative.

In my sample of one I have never seen sexist behavior in tech world and typically expect more accepting behavior. Maybe my view is too limited? Have other people see this as endemic culture in scale?

Well, Texas is probably drier on average than California. California has wide swings between very wet winters and very dry winters.

Oh god. You might as well have posted, "Why do people use Mac instead of Windows?" in the year 2002.

People use spaces because they're a fixed width, not in spite of that fact. They allow you to know that your code will look exactly the same with any monospace font, which is especially important if you do things like lining up operators.

I personally use a hybrid: the entire line is indented with tabs. This tells you which block you're in.

Then, for alignment or anything else that isn't related to the entire block, I use spaces.

Many IDEs support this hybrid mode, including the IntelliJ family. It gives you the best of both worlds.
Seconded; I mean: I can understand why somebody who was into nuclear tourism might want to swing past the Hanford Site in Washington, but I'd bet that the majority of Americans might rather steer clear.
DNS A entires can resolve to any address you like; just, a 127.0 address is not very useful. What's strange is that someone would have set google. to point to a 127.0 address, and left that message in the MX record. (Usually TLDs have no records.)

Though I think I figured out the puzzle:

> Do you get to chose between electricity providers?

I know this is not your point, but in Germany, for example, you do get to choose. They've created competition between electricity providers.
If you plan to spend a lot of time down low working with these protocols, definitely get a Saleae Logic. I can't recommend it enough:

https://www.saleae.com/

It's a small USB-powered digital logic analyzer in various sizes with the buffer size limited only by your host computer's memory. The real magic is their software - it gives you protocol analysis capabilities that used to cost you thousands if you were an HP/Agilent/Tek customer. You get I2C, SPI, RS232/485, DMX, 1Wire, CEC, USB, tons more. Best part? The host software also runs on Mac and Linux.

And if you are interested, support these guys and buy the real thing. Don't buy a knockoff and then use Saleae's software (which they give away for free to let you try).
Some of these are context-free. And, here, "context" might mean the person saying it, and what he's said before. It might be a hugely chauvinistic person saying some of these things, which colors the interpretation.

I think if the article suggests anything, it's that you think a bit harder about anything you say. It's also clearly for entertainment purposes as well, so there's probably some amount of exaggeration to the offense that she's taken with these comments.

I practically learned Swift by doing the first available exercises.

Of course people do. I'm sure there are apps that aggregate that type of at a for you in one easy search. Not just for dating, but for employment, renting and other things as well.

To the OP though - if you have a serious criminal record you're going to have to disclose that up front. That's the way it is these days, and as the majority of people don't have a criminal record at all, it's not going to change. You can hardly blame them, as past behaviour is an excellent guide to future behaviour.
As long as you didn't need a user interface :-) Back then, you were lucky to get any Applet working without crashing the browser. From what I remember, GD was pretty much the only way to draw anything besides ASCII art. Oh and that Macromedia... shudders
