Large repos on windows is slow, because windows filesystems are super crappy...
I guess they figured that rather than making the file system fast and fixing case-sensitivity it was easier to write a virtual file system and forget what distributed version control really is about in the process.
It's probably not really git, anymore, but to be fair it might be nice for big projects. Once repos hits 1GB things start to takes seconds instead of milliseconds, it's less fun.
Besides, when will they finish their memory safe rust browser? I just looked at the source code of the 'nightly' branch, and it's still the same XUL/XPCOM garbage all the way down.
The extension changes sure look like they will kill features important to me
On this point Firefox has been stuck between a rock and a hard place, keep legacy around to maintain extension ecosystem. Or break the ecosystem and go multi-process as needed for stability in a world where most apps are webapps.
It's the prosecution's job to assert guilt. I'm not sure why you think it's odd that they'd do so.
In most countries the prosecution has a duty to the truth that far outweighs all other concerns.
On topic, this is no different than using data from a step counter, fitbit, or an exercise measuring phone app...
It's an indicator of activity, it can't really be used for much in terms of proving guilt...
Even if they guy made a statement saying it was sleeping before the fire broke out, then perhaps he just made a false statement because he was doing something else...
Hopefully, this is all click bait, probably there is other evidence...
it's easy enough to just get a local SIM card if you are travelling alot or for extended time
That means new phone number... which is problematic because phone numbers are often used to verify things using one-time-tokens by sms...
Or you know receiving calls from people who have your number...
Most people won't change sim, instead they'll just pay higher prices and not use data when abroad which is sad.
Not the point, it does however also point out that when Trump says he'll fight for coal jobs, that'll likely leave more Americans unemployed.
To be fair, the employment in renewables is higher because they under construction, where as employment in oil/coal/gas is lower because it's largely just maintenance. I won't argue that coal/gas/oil isn't efficient in terms of manpower (it probably is), but that's not the point here.
The point is that a policy of pushing renewables is likely to create jobs. Sure, most of them will only exist during the construction phase.
As for efficiency, cost, etc. you can debate them however you wish, but these numbers are largely irrelevant in that matter.
With any luck this will make it easier to stay in the US, as right now companies can't bring in talent because of the H1B system.
I got my H1B while finishing my MSc, I probably wouldn't have applied if it there was a 20% chance of getting it, and I had to wait a full year after I graduated. I would just have stayed in Europe, and taken advantages of the tech scene there.
The visa application process cost way more than 1k, companies foot most of the bill, but even as an applicant it's rather expensive considering fees, embassy interviews and other enormous waste of time... (Just the express processing fee is 1.2k)
On topic: Do NOT start selling visas, seriously the rich have enough advantages as it is. IMO, it's totally absurd that you can even pay of express processing.. Some things shouldn't be for sale! Citizenships, visas, clean air, equal treatment by the state. Requiring a 100k minimum wage is fine, that's of no implications to legitimate H1B applicants.
but how is the retailer supposed to know the manufacturer/supplier has them "inflated". Are they supposed to go all-Sherlock for each item they sell?
You want to claim that you are cheaper than marked price, then you need to do the research!
You can't just make arbitrary claims like that without anything to back such a claim. That is misleading pricing.
Honestly, there are so many common practices today that is fraudulent, if consumer protection agencies were to get aggressive about enforcing current regulation they have the power to change many things.
Note: just because a fraudulent practice is both common and suspected by must customers doesn't make it any less fraudulent. This is similar to mileage inflation scandal, it was common practice, consumers knew they wouldn't get the advertised milage, but that didn't make it any less illegal:)
Most small startups or contracting gigs, don't worry about things like that... It's much more valuable to not have a sysadmin managing, scaling and patching a server running git locally...
Honestly, a github organization with solid policies and 2FA for all users is pretty solid. Sure github could get hacked, but they have entire security teams to mitigate that risk. Your average basement git server doesn't have any security teams.
There is probably a lot of low hanging power efficiency gains to be had at a fairly low cost... But without regulation fostering competition companies aren't going to pay a low cost of major gains..
Presumably, most laptops/mobile devices already have a focus on power efficiency. But maybe there is some chargers that could easily be made more efficient.
I'm not expert here, but generally moderate regulation fosters innovation that wouldn't happen.
It's not about secrecy... Twitter is a public forum and it seems as if American police is actively trying to undermine peaceful public discourse as is critical to a democracy.
Just because news papers and political meetings are public doesn't mean that the police should be creating a database of "communists sympathizers". Such databases invites abuse and heavily undermines democracy. In many democracies there are tight regulation on what kinds of database the police is authorized to keep. In particular when tracking lawful behavior.
Note: I don't care who is being tracked nazies/alt-right, communists, civil rights activists, pro-lifters, religious fanatics or people posting cat pictures, unless there is strong evidence that they are planning terrorists attacks the police have no business tracking peaceful demonstrators.
If the US buddies up to Russia after the administration change, it's conceivable that the US gets its hands on Snowden in person.
Yeah, with Trump it's no-longer inconceivable that Ukraine is sold to Russia in exchange for Snowden. Unlikely, but hardly inconceivable.
The US isn't going to burn its bridges with its allies over this. It'll talk some smack, stomp its boots some, but it will be more bluster than anything.
Well, Trump is talking about NATO being of no importance to him. With Russia acting aggressively, you might understand why European nations aren't willing to risk trouble over a single individual.
Now what exactly happens to Germany if they change their mind once they have Snowden and hand him over to be executed by the US, hmm, nothing what so ever.
Germany can't extradite without guarantees that he won't face execution, not only would it violate German law, it would violate the European Charter of Human Rights. All EU member nations have surrendered sovereignty to the EU in human rights matters. Blatant violations could result in sanctions.
Regardless, what on earth makes you think Germany isn't trustworthy. When they say safe-access they probably mean: enact a law that Snowden can't be extradited or prosecuted on charges related to leaking information. Likely it would effectively grant him asylum in Germany, as any time-limit on such an arrangement wouldn't be safe for Snowden (given that he can't know for sure if he would ever be able to return to Russia).
Even a year ago I would have said that Obama would go down in history as one of the best presidents. Was I ever wrong.
Well, the bar for "best"-president is quite low if serve between Bush and Trump:)
He'll still be remembered as great president, just because the ones before and after him will remember as utter disasters.
This was an ad for uberPool, but even uberX is better... you get fewer cars driving around looking for parking that isn't there, and you have more experienced drivers. Plus people are more likely to walk home during rush hours, as they aren't bound by having to get the car home somehow.
He didn't know so he can't be held responsible. Easy enough.
In all seriousness, yeah... He is the little guy here, Uber most likely knows (or should have known better), I would certainly support Uber being fine significantly here.
So it's Russia's fault you did bad things? What are you going to tell us next, that you can see Russia from your back yard?
What exactly did they reveal? from where I'm sitting nothing, except maybe that she mentioned that "politicians sometimes needs to have a public and a private opinion", which taken out of context sounds sketchy -- in reality no doubt necessary and perfectly fine -- politicians should negotiate compromises on behalf of the people they represent, that sometimes means putting your private positions aside.
It could also be contrived as two-faced, which is bad. The argument Hillary made, namely that politicians presents different arguments to different groups isn't bad either...
Anyways, seems like another non-issue, certainly not a scandal comparable to any of the ones Trump has got going.
If servers would just be smart about always requiring a captcha for each additional login attempt, and limit amount of login attempts, email on failed login attempts, have timeouts between login attempts...
Well, then passwords don't have to be strong. This doesn't fix password reuse though:)
The US is a huge country with lots of empty areas that has great air quality. If instead of median particulate matter, they used median particulate matter humans are exposed to it might look different. I doubt densely populated US cities full of cars are doing very well.
But yes, for once the US is by all measures for one not ranked among 3rd world countries.

Nothing is preventing websites from offering both sha1 and sha2.
Nobody is forceing hardware vendors to move... Websites can still offer sha1, but many probably won't due to the security implicationsing
If H1-B is pricing itself out of the market, so be it.
I doubt we'll see any effect from a 100k minimum wage. Maybe a slight drop in applicants, but the limit will probably still be hit.
With any luck this will make it easier to stay in the US, as right now companies can't bring in talent because of the H1B system.

Voting for Trump out of protest is like shooting your self in the foot to cure foot fungus.
That sounds like an profoundly American way of curing foot fungus.
Also this was an add for uberPool, but not having amateur drivers looking for parking helps a lot.
