Maybe I'm daft but might I ask you to elaborate what you wanted to say with the picture?

So there's a private option that's terrible (WebMD) and a private option that's terrific (Merck Manuals). And it's the terrible one that ranks well at Google.

Sounds like a Google problem and apparently only a Google problem.

Engineer for twelve years, manager for four years.

I am devoted to two areas, each strengthening the other: developers' well-being and high output management of engineering teams. Employees are typically the most expensive resource companies have, so efficient and long-term sustainable leadership makes or breaks the bottom line. I believe that management and engineering are very different jobs and I do my best to be a great manager.

In this role, I had the opportunity to create and scale several teams from scratch. We build successful products while treating every employee with respect. The average tenure of my employees is over three years; more than double the average.

My engineering experience includes creating a brand new content delivery network for a filesharing service, developing new low-level network protocols at one of the largest Internet companies, or creating cryptocurrency services. Moreover, I regularly contribute to Monero, the main privacy focused cryptocurrency.

Thanks for the comprehensive post! The weekly updates in particular sound good.

I'm curious how secure LineageOS is. It doesn't seem to have the resources of Apple/Google to respond to vulnerabilities. I haven't even found anything on this topic at their website. Googling "lineageos security response policy" haven't found anything useful, either.

How does it compare to flagship Samsungs/Pixels/iPhones? Is it usable in, say, corporate settings that do have some security standards in the vein of "two years old iPhone OK, six years old Android not"?

Bug report: I can find cafés in my city when I search, but "Places near you" still give me places that are are 800km away. Even when I sort by distance.

It's often not easy or even possible to simply open-source the drivers. What if there are any patents at play? How about third (fourth?) party dependencies? I'm sure the legal would take major offence with slapping GPL on the code and releasing it.

I can also imagine a company like Wacom fighting cheap Chinese copies - I can't imagine persuading the business folks to make the copycat's life way easier by open sourcing the logic.

As long as Linux says it's either mainline or the highway, well, companies will be reluctant to put in the resources I'm afraid.

They are conflating two different issues: Linux' lack of stable binary interface for drivers, and Linux being open source. It's the lack of stable ABI that's preventing third parties from maintaining decent drivers for Linux (plus the lack of economic incentives of course).

As a manager, I had the opportunity to create a several teams from scratch. Hiring, setting all processes, and creating the best place to work. We build successful products while treating every employee with respect. We are fully remote (long before Covid) and over the years, we gathered extensive experience in operating remote teams efficiently.

Another way to think of "legal bugs" is corruption.

Without the Apple's ad, wouldn't there be some _other_ ad instead? Presumably a competitor's, or the brand's own, paying the Google tax?

Pardon my naive question, but aren't there more objectives for the clinical trial? Particularly testing for negative side effects? How are those judged if the trial is discontinued?

Samsung does have its stores in my country (Czechia). Very much inspired by Apple, touting flagship phones and all.

iPhone?

iPad Safari on 200/100Mbps connection.

* After pressing Run, nothing happens for 10s, then Click me! text appears.

* On clicking the text, nothing happens.

* On clicking it a few times, the page crashes and reloads.

Bitcoin is a potentially revolutionary technology in a very early stage. The important new part, the consensus algorithm, is ground breaking.

Now, the very first implementation (Bitcoin) kinda sucks, like most technologies in their first versions. But there are newer generations, each more interesting, and each unlocking more possibilities. We are for example getting:

* No-autority enforcement of contracts (Ethereum).

* A distributed computation (operating) system (EOS).

* Decentralised finance, for example lending platforms (AAVE).

* Cash-like payment system suitable for real-world payments (Monero).

We're only eleven years in so it's a bit too early to say if it's all rubbish or if it will change the world.

These are wireless problems, not specific to Apple head/earphones. The attached wireless module like the Shure's one (and there's plenty of others, for example FiiO) do not address the environmental impact at all. Because what breaks is the battery and that's the environmentally unfriendly stuff - the drivers are nothing in comparison.

I have NextDNS, enabled Handshake in settings, and still doesn't resolve.

Facebook still has something like two billion of mostly happy users.

For hiking, check out https://en.mapy.cz/turisticka. While it focuses on central Europe, it regularly imports OSM data worldwide and I found the coverage pretty good.

Good catch, I stand corrected. But the point still holds - five (or even seven) years is still not match for Red Hat.

Debian offers around three years of support. Ubuntu LTS around five. Both pale in comparison with Red Hat and, by proxy, CentOS.

I think there's no difference between never saving cookies and blocking all cookies. Most browsers have the option to block all cookies (just checked Safari and it's in the Privacy tab in settings).

It's a surprisingly complex problem. As you point out, more personalised UI, buttons, etc. can be more ergonomic and presumably productive. But then the problem with learning, teaching, and sharing arises.

I also see another problem: lock-in and loss of productivity in other environments. For this reason I prefer to stick to everything as vanilla as possible: so that I can use another computer or keyboard and it "just works" because that's what I'm used to anyway.

> But putting all the craziest ideas together in one jumble... has anyone ever seriously proposed something like distributed hash table cloud storage, extremely redundant, that was perhaps financed by a blockchain cryptocurrency operating on some kind of auction or supply-and-demand system, that could be used by open-source software?

Sounds similar to IPFS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System

There's a disclaimer at the end of the article, right below the "test":

While I agree with the sentiment that public workers should be accountable to the tax payers, let's not forget they are still humans. Would you like your employer to point a cam at your desk and have it recording at all times?

Is that global statistics or statistics for "over policed" neighbourhoods the article and discussion is about?

So what video conferencing solution do they use instead?
