This looks neat, I’ve been wondering what’s the best way to remember things buried behind many chats and apps and it might just be the solution to it

Yaml is the language nobody needed. All we wanted was a better JSON format that supports comments and doesn’t crash with an extra comma as the end of a list, eg: [1,2,3,]

How does a self signed cert protect you from MITm if the iPhone will accept any signed certificate thereafter? There’s no cert pinning AFAIK in imaps.

Can you expand on that subject? What are the traits of warm blooded species that lead to higher cancer rates?

No they killed the project a while ago. The goal was to identify if you were watching a video based on the audio.

I assume that the feature was not worth privacy implications and potential fallout.

It is, it was then used regularly across project as a sign that touching this code is very dangerous and should not be done except by the experts of that codebase.

Fun nostalgia to see it out there :)

Note that I doubt anybody ever got fired for modifying these parts of the code. In particular, automatic refactors would have modified these (safely); and it’s a scary warning about negative consequences of messing up.

Cars rarely spontaneously burst in flame and causing a chemical fire taking that takes hours to put out. I am all for safe e-bikes, and these bootleg batteries are dangerous to the population and to the way the population sees this alternative transportation mode.

Looks like another scam.

In the end, who decides who to give money to? You might vote but money has to be distributed to real people, not faceless addresses.

This reads like another rug pull.

That’s correct :)

The binlogs are applied first, then the deletes are emitted.

There’s also support for read after write consistency within a single cluster by adding a canary to the memcache key warning to read from the master replica after the write succeeds, that’s a really cool feature for a multi region eventually consistent system

I don’t think this generalization carries your point.

Do you live in Europe? Are you aware of the numerous opinions on this matter in Europe?

If you did, your comment would have more nuance.

And then you won’t have maps, Gmail, …

On iOS you can have the above without giving them your location 24/7

I'm going to assume you are not trolling and hope this will change your mind, but I am not sure what proof you expect will convince you. It's worth asking yourself before reading these what is the level of proof you require to be convinced, and then see if these are fulfilling your expectations.

I have not read this one in depth but maybe it will help change your mind on some misconceptions: https://skepticalscience.com/

I'm happy to link similar studies from across the world if you speak other languages.

I know for every link I send you, you will find an equal number of links from climate change deniers. Put please put in perspective the number of people on one side of this issue and the other: the overwhelming majority of scientists agree.

And even if they are wrong, is it really that bad to try to burn less oil and make the air less polluted and our planet more hospitable?

That's a very eloquent way to put it, I agree to it all :)

The SR71 was flying at a much higher altitude to achieve lower drag and fits 2 pilots, 0 commercial passengers.

If you want to compare apples to apples, I suggest you refer to the 2 metrics I mentioned: - gallons of fuel per miles flown - fuel used per passenger

One without the other is a useless comparison as you pointed out.

The faster the plane goes, the more fuel it consumes due to the drag increase by the square of the speed. In a world where fossil fuel is needed to fly airplanes and where oil is causing a destruction of the world we inhabit, it's dangerous to suggest we should make the flying industry polluting more than they already are.

If anything we should look at the trade-off benefits of flying with the least amount of fuel consumption per passenger and miles flown. Flying faster than mach-1 to save time will be reserved to a small elite. How does it benefit the masses?

It's true, it was well known internally that internal chat that are sensitive would be auto deleted.

It's only higher than other big tech companies because they have so much difficulty hiring new grad. it's what's holding the funnel together, the moment comp drops compared to the others they will lose a ton of candidates.

Do you live in a low density area?

I think your point of view aligns well with the idea that increased density and good alternative transit options lead to less need and want for cars.

But rural and isolated areas can’t live without a car (or a credible alternative).

As much as I’d like car to disappear, there’s a lot of use of it that we can’t replace without severely altering some of the population’s quality of life

I'd love to know as well, especially for software engineers. I'm wondering if there are opportunities in this field for distributed systems experts, but not a necessity.

You only need to pay a $10 transaction fee.

Corporation are really the ones responsible for what you mention as they lobbied for all of these not to happen for profit’s sake.

And they won at that game.

I could work if you are doing dull repetitive coding tasks, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't tank ones efficiency and thoroughness in intense tasks.

TL;RD: Facebook wants to announce in the future some privacy enhancing ideas, nothing concrete yet.

But don’t worry, they still want to track you enough to tailor ads to users (their words).
