I had the same thought, and pulled this together this morning: http://github.com/rfletcher/cli-privacy

Another approach: http://github.com/rfletcher/cli-privacy

Instead of hoping for various software projects to standardize on a single control, aggregate the various controls in one place, and make it easy to set them all at once.

I see the same behavior. Additions/edits are not propagating.

The oldest affected route53 change I can find in our system is a new record that was created at 23:16:10 UTC. As of now (40 minutes later), it still won't resolve.

Edit: The AWS status page confirms "slow propagation of DNS edits": https://status.aws.amazon.com

Ditto. And FYI, those fare predictions came to Bing when they bought Farecast. Fareast launched in '06, if memory serves.

Another generic `repl` utility, this one in ruby: https://github.com/defunkt/repl

I'm not sure how offline competition relates to the "net neutrality" topic in this thread, but any offline competitor necessarily has a physical presence in the state, so it would have been subject to tax for from the beginning.

> "Is Pennsylvania subjecting streaming services to a different level of taxation is their non-streaming competitors?"

The first sentence of the article (emphasis mine): "Pennsylvania has joined several states in enacting a tax on digital streaming and download services."

Unless you can think of a competitor that offers neither streams nor downloads, no, they're not.

I live in PA and I'm an Apple Music subscriber. Looking at my receipts, Apple's been charging me 6% tax all along. I wonder why, if this change to the tax code just went into effect on 8/1.

> ...I'm hoping to get switching onto the low-priority project list.

You should maybe try and get it on the high priority list. On August 1st the Teams pro plan will increase from $4/user/mo. (introductory price) to $12/user/mo. for new signups: https://1password.com/teams/pricing/

It does have an "open and fill" feature which autofills, but only immediately after opening the site by URL first. (So the attacker's URL would have to be saved in 1Password along side your credentials.)

This is actually how I use 1Password most often. Global hotkey of cmd+opt+\, type a site name, hit enter: 1Password opens the site and logs in.

> Even setting that aside, what is it I'm looking at? Assembly?

AGC Assembly. Here's the manual: http://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/assembly_language_manual.html

> I have a strong suspicion that Apple is not going to let me listen to music on the devices I own.

You're probably right about any Linux devices, but there's an official Apple Music app for Android you can install right now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.andr...

I think Netflix may have just rolled out a blog redesign. (The original link worked for me at first, but now redirect me to media.netflix.com.) Too bad they broke old links though. Hopefully that's temporary.

The Amazon exec who introduced the Snowball during the keynote also called it included a "Kindle".

Didn't make the cut:

• Customer data protection issues (internal "god view", etc.): http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/12/01...

• Travis Kalanick (Uber CEO) drawing parallels between his company's drivers and the people of Ferguson, Mo.: http://pando.com/2014/11/20/on-stage-at-goldman-sachs-event-...

The legalese is translated into bullet points in the right-hand column.

It's on the screen right at 1:25. I don't think shows up in the audio track.

I'm in exactly the same boat. Very early invitee; basically have no use for it without joint accounts.

I transferred a few hundred bucks to Simple when I signed up and finally moved that money back out just last week. I'm done waiting. :(

I didn't mean "it hasn't launched" as a knock. Just pointing out that, like Coin, it's announced but not yet available.

I'm guessing the Coin pre-order is why Protean sent me an email yesterday reminding me they exist: http://getprotean.com

Their Echo card is exactly the same idea, with some minor variation in implementation. It has not yet launched.

As far as the concerns voiced here (accidental button presses, etc.), Chris Bartenstein, a Protean co-founder, has addressed some of that in the comments on this TechCrunch story: http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/02/the-protean-echo-reduces-al...

Base salary isn't everything.

I didn't say you did. I don't think the size of the app is a factor, either.

This came from a fairly large library which runs on all manner of third-party sites, many billions of times each month. In that situation trapping and logging all exceptions is very important, and this method has worked reliably for years.

  "Theoretically, we could wrap every function call in a try/catch and we'd
   have an error object in the catch block. This is bad; please don't try.
   You'll have a particularly hard time with asynchronous callbacks anyways."

Couldn't disagree more with this point. Wrap the function, not the call. Something like this:

  function logExceptions( fn ) {
    return function() {
      try {
        return fn.apply( this, arguments );
      } catch( e ) {
        logException( e );
      }
    };
  }

  myFunction = logExceptions( function() {
    // do stuff
  } );

Now you just call myFunction() normally. Pretty painless.

Further, you only have to use a logger-wrapped function for your script's entry points, not "every function": the initialization method (if any), event handlers, setTimeout callbacks, etc. Since you're probably already calling non-native methods which wrap those APIs, that method can handle exception log wrapping for you, too.

For example, for event handling I call an internal on(obj, "name", function(){}) method, and on() passes the callback through logExceptions() for me.

(Without any real evidence) I think this usually happens intentionally in new construction. It's actually to the homeowner's advantage to place their driveway such that cars can't park next to it:

In SF, having a driveway with a bit of unusable space on one side gives you an extra parking space -- on the street. Blocking your own driveway there is legal. Even if you have room for your car(s) in a garage, I'd imagine an extra space is frequently useful in a city with such limited parking.

A bit of dead space also provides a buffer to turn into and out of the driveway that might sometimes be necessary (your turning radius isn't zero and some streets are narrow).

(Background: I lived in SF for 12 years but never owned a car or driveway there.)

"Though maybe the OP mentioned that and I missed it."

He did, right after the diagram:

"Unfortunately, rearranging all the driveways in San Francisco probably isn’t feasible…"

"I either have to do some hacky position:absolute things…"

Why do you think this is "hacky"? This is precisely what absolute positioning is for.

Could be, it is in front of the monitor, but it's flat on my desk in more or less the same place shown in most of their demo videos.

Their marketing worked on me. I pre-ordered one. Like many, I suspect, I ordered mine because it looked like a cool toy, not because I thought it filled a need.

I've only played with it for an hour or so in total, but so far I'm returning it. Maybe it's a training issue (on my part; the device doesn't learn, as far as I can tell), but it just doesn't work very well for me.

The demo apps suggest a severe lack of precision when I'm using it, and complain that the room is too bright. Coincidentally, it's a stormy, overcast day, and my office lamp burned out this morning. This is as dark as it'll ever be in here during the day.

I'll definitely give it some more time (you have 30 days from when it ships to return it), but I'm not that interested in learning how to move my hands in a Leap-specific way, or in permanently darkening my office.
