   RemoteSensing seems to be back up, with a link to http://libtiff.org as its purported new home. However looking at the mailing list, it seems this domain is not controlled by the developers.

   I doubt it, actually. They have a history[1] of removing ports and features which seem unbelievable at the time, and then pushing forward with that decision, however unpopular. 1: Floppy drives, optical drives, MacBook Air ports, etc

   I've heard this claim many times before, including about other actual tech hubs (Austin, Portland, ...). None of them have panned out to be true.

   Millennial here. Opened my first credit card, a Discover student card, at 18 whilst in college. My credit limit was something awful, $1000 if I recall correctly. But the credit impact was immense. By charging a hundred bucks or two, and nev

   What a joke. So they're abandoning an already-finalized construction plan in favor of a return to the "service" that was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearwire ?

   Presumably this is their attempt at being "nice" to the various users of IDFA, who often times key off the IDFA to store a value of a user profile, conversion event or other data. By using a fixed zero value, it allows said partie

    I really hate this trend of packaging every web app into its own WebKit instance.

    Is this to imply that non-poaching agreements (e.g., "Great, you quit, don't talk to my employees") are equally void?

    Here's an honest question. Knowing that non-competes are bogus and unenforceable in California - why do most employers (including mine) feel the need to tack them onto offer letters? Is it a matter of intimidation?

    This is a very cool toy. As someone with no experience in ML, this is an interesting visual approach to the absolute basics. And great for challenging your friends in an epic battle of convergence!

    Wait - what it is using, then? I had assumed it was TF under Emscripten or similar.

    This feels optimistically premature. Sure, it's been superseded, and it's great to move the ball forward. But somehow I think this legacy technology will be in use for a long, long time.

    Now that you point that out, this is very interesting. The purchasing company, being in the apps business, may derive more value from advertising its own apps over its own network (thus dodging paying third party ad networks) than it will f

    Fair point (and kudos to Mozilla), but unfortunately this doesn't protect 90% of other traffic passing through the host. As many (if not all) of the victims of this kind of attack are laypeople, a broader approach may be warranted.

    I could see enterprise management being an exception, as there is still some (presumably) informed authority approving the installation of a cert. What I was really getting at is an average, non-technical user's home device.

    I honestly wonder if there should be some sort of signature or approval process on the OS vendor's part before any cert can serve as a root. I'm not sure what that would look like and I do realize there are some 'walled garde

    I really don't like flash. It's full of security holes and its primary uses annoy the living hell out of me. So I only use a browser that has it when it's on my terms.

    I also do this. Firefox is my primary browser but I have Chrome installed solely to view flash-based video sites.
