It is against the terms of service of Google analytics to pass any PII such that you can track an event back to any particular person. On top of that, the code for Google Analytics js is available for your review, along with its network requests, such that you can hold them to their word.
Because at the third book I go "WTF? I'm not reading the same story thrice!" and put it down at page 30 or something.
It isn't about Uber at all though is it?

The entire SV model is basically Uber. i.e. Can you VC fund something loss making long enough so that it corners the market somehow / gains some other crushing advantage.

Unfortunately everyone and their dog is focused on the first part on that strategy. 9 times out of 10 no natural crushing advantage shows up so the SaaS gets under pressure and raises prices and then proceeds to circle the drain.

Crucially thought that isn't an indictement of the model. For good ideas lose money then win big is a valid strategy. Just needs a crystal ball
What is necessary for western society is to import more people that do not want to contribute to society besides accepting welfare. These people must be let to have on average 5-12 children to extract as many welfare benefits as they possibly can. We need more diversity so that no common ground can be found when it comes to wealth inequality. We must distract ourselves from the elephant in the room by fighting small meaningless battles amongst ourselves while the so called elites create their gated community fortresses.

Basically we must do the exact same thing as South Africa, Brazil and many other countries. In this way we will be saved.
It makes sense to leave managed services outside. Do you really want to be responsible for maintaining your Postgres database? Dealing with upgrades, backups, replication etc...

Much better to leave that to the cloud provider to manage.

From the article:

> However, as a project grows, like Panelbear, I move the database out of the cluster into RDS, and let AWS take care of encrypted backups, security updates and all the other stuff that’s no fun to mess up.

Even then though, you can separate the work from the workplace. For example I absolutely identify as a programmer. Screw all this "never call yourself a programer, you're a business problem solver" advice, I LOVE programming. But that doesn't mean that the project I am currently working on or the company I work for defines me. Any given employment can be taken away from me at a moments notice for factors far outside of my control, but nobody can take away the skills and knowledge I accumulate.
> constant interruption i.e. low-quality conversation and low-quality work

Yup. Now I wear Bose headphones (the kind which seal around your ear, but no noise cancellation). Incredible productivity listening to jazz all day, feels like a vacation.
This is too funny. Just yesterday I returned by Nvidia GFX 640 SE because Fermi was not compatible with many AMD Chipset motherboards, including mine. I pikced up the AMD Radeon HD 6850 instead. It runs like a charm.
I'm not sure what the point of all this high-horse rhetoric you're putting out there is, but as an American citizen I think it's our duty to question and vet most of what our leaders say and do, even when we believe and agree. Without that vetting process, we invite a state of perpetual lies, because very few people in power will tell the truth when there is no consequence for telling a lie.

I don't think that taking the president and numerous government officials (who have little to gain by lying) at their word that Obama is a citizen is that much of a stretch of logic. If you think being called a racist for insisting that Obama is a foreign national is unwarranted, I'd ask when the last time you even considered such a thing about any president much less voiced it.

In the end, though, I firmly believe that Obama released this document for those in the center and center-right of the political spectrum, not for the hard-right who demanded to see it lest they initiate some kind of armchair revolution. Producing this document will not silence the far right, but the fact that it won't will push them further into the fringes in the view of mainstream Americans. They will appear unreasonable, unappeasable and extremist, all qualities that will slowly choke out their chances of claiming the White House.
ummmm, huh? They've always compared OSX (which only run on a handful of Apple exclusive devices) and windows OSes in the exact same way. No market share report I've ever seen phrases it as "iphone vs android OS". It is always iOS phones vs Android OS phones or iOS tablets vs android tablets. I don't understand what "truth" is being uncovered here.
There's a bit of development between an artist's conception and a Mars mission.
Marco has a well established anti-Android bias, both Android the platform and Android users. He's been dismissive of it since the beginning, so this post-facto justification that Android users won't pay for apps is a bit hollow.

ReadItLater Pro for Android is clearly analogous. It was released at a $1 launch sale price (80% off, they say) on March 9; 11 days later it crossed 10,000 downloads from the Market. That seems like a substantial demand and willingness to pay for it on behalf of Android users.

I thought we'd all long since done away with the idealism that we can pick and choose every detail about our work lives.
And still haven't. The most interesting attempts, like Ed Ashcroft's and Bill Wadge's Lucid, seem to have withered. It's not clear to me whether that was because they didn't offer enough that was different, or it was too hard to make the implementations efficient, or both. And yet it all does still "look very interesting".
There were lots of things I was curious about, like company financial records/statements, some of the legal stuff around employment. The accounting stuff was really useful.

But the real wins were the leadership and management units, to my mind. Learning the "formal" knowledge around this has really helped in subsequent management roles.

The entrepreneurship unit was vaguely hilarious, as I was running a blog for the local startup scene at the same time and neck-deep in Lean Startup, which no-one on the MBA course had heard of. Writing a really tight business plan seemed to be the hardest part of starting a business ;)
I think your desire to participate is commendable. I don't know anything about the safety risks of collaboration to Gazans, it's very sad situation and I appreciate that it's very complex and possibly dangerous. I'd certainly be interested to learn more.

Otherwise, I'd imagine (possibly naively) that remote mentoring would be something good.

If it were possible for you to participate - would you risk repercussions for collaborating from other Israelis?
It is very common not just for C compilers, but for a long range of other compilers.

So common that it is unclear to me which of producing textual asm output or machine code is most common. Certainly there's been periods were the attitude was that producing machine code directly was unnecessarily complex and didn't belong in the compiler.
After watching the demo, it looks like it should be pretty simple to transform it into some sort of Tickle Me Elmo game though
Why dun you completed your four pet projects?

I'm sure if you complete these projects, you will feel adrenaline again. It is quite clear that money is not something that make you tick. Making things does, and when you are not able to deliver/get it, your interest dwindle... Quit thinking, and complete those projects.
> He confessed.

Last I heard he had not confessed and he is not cooperating with the prosecution. Do you know something different?
So to restate, he's being held without charges and psychologically tortured, but it's okay because he's in the military and the rules of the military say that's okay.

Would you support a military rule that required officers to eat ten newborn babes apiece to be eligible for promotion? Let's say it's a specific rule and it's in place for a reason.
I usually compare it to being forced to play through the first three levels of Super Mario Bros over and over again. Then they put up posters saying "Video games are fun!"
Good point. Is a game that simulates sex somehow less ethically acceptable than one that simulates murder or warfare?
Anything in "The Cartoon Guide..." series:

When I homeschooled my sons, we used several of them. The Cartoon Guide to Statistics -- we did like the first chapter or two. I had had college statistics. Most of the book was over my head.

They are kid friendly, though not really intended for kids, so there is sometimes off-color humor. However, they are not watered down. They are very meaty approaches to the subject that also make the subjects approachable. They cover things like physics, genetics and other serious subjects.

Reading this with my sons is the first time I had heard of Fibonacci numbers and I had a lot of math in high school.

I believe that chrome is the native browser on the Nexus 5.
I'm going to disagree with most. Don't get the Nexus One if you plan on having customers. Its far to powerful to accurately tell you what experience your typical users will have. I have three, Nexus One, myTouch3g and G1. I find that the myTouch gives me a pretty good representation of a user handset (though mine is currently at 1.6 and nearly 65% of my users seem to be on 2.1+)
I learned a little bit about programming as a kid with those books that just had re-prints of BASIC game code. The time spent debugging my own typos was pretty valuable.
I don't see where he got the impression that D is not actively maintained. See http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/changelog.html, which is the record of frequent, active and extensive updates.
The published literature doesn't support your claims, but that's OK because you have private data which you find more palatable? This is a fun combination with your posture of

I've been called twice by my bank to warn me of possible fraudulent activity. Both times I hung up on them and called back at the bank's own public customer service line and asked them if that was really them calling. Once it was and once it was not, so I'm glad I was that careful.
> Apple donates $0, we say nothing.

"We say nothing" does not imply "we are OK with it".

It might just be that people aren't thinking about this issue 24/7.
Lol. Don’t. I’m old and experienced and it wasn’t because of my internet interactions. You seek out what you want on the internet, even when you don’t think you do. Talk to real people in real time who can read your body language and face, with opinions to challenge you face to face.
Again. Just don’t.
Yes, I come here to read up on programming, ICT, and the information society, but one of the things I like most about aggregation-type sites like hackernews, reddit, and slashdot is to be surprised about intriguing thing I had no idea existed.

If I imagine the internet usage of the visitors of hackernews as a enormous Venn diagram with each visitor his own circle, these type of articles allow me to look beyond the border of my own circle into the circles overlapping mine most, allowing me to expand my circle.
Here is my very own personal opinion (disclosure: I am no rocket scientist, hadron collider ubber geek or startup mega marketeer, just a happy coder)

If I had a choice to pick a language for [em] web development [/em] I'd go with Javascript all the way from server to client to data to communication.

No, not the kind of node.js, something simpler.
No, not the kind of rhino on top of java on top of appengine. Simpler I said.

There is a HUUUUGE market for that, and whether you like it or not (I am looking at you, old C developer) millions of web hobbyists like me will celebrate when that day comes.
Not really, in ChromeOS, the google homepage will be kind of like your desktop. So putting a picture there is like putting a picture on your desktop wallpaper. Also, Google.com/ig has been themable for years, so allowing to put pictures is not a copy of bing IMO, just an improvement of the theme feature.
i've thought the same for a while. end to end js. if you could ditch sql while you are at it that would be good, too.
To further illustrate how you can't just throw these labels around, Myers-Briggs has "iNtuiting" on another axis. PZ Meyers makes references that place "Intuition" in opposition to science (thinking.) If the words mean the same in both contexts, then the Myers-Briggs temperament of the NT/Rational who is both iNtuitive and Thinking becomes, well, awkward at best.
As a half-german when I see this I just think literally wth.

It’d be dangerous for self driving cars because LIDAR has trouble picking up deep black colours since it doesn’t reflect back any light.
The point I was trying to get at is that in many cases (e.g., those not covered by an industry standard) there is no explicit “required” factor of safety. It’s left up to the discretion of the authority having jurisdiction. So while the design engineer may feel like a factor of safety of 2.0 is sufficient, the AHJ may “require” a 2.2 FOS to sign off
Where "variant" is Japanese! Much like English is a "variant" of Italian.
> Various chain of trust & reputation type arrangements

The problem of course is that as you said, you still need authorities or a chain of authorities to tell you which one is the genuine Debian and which ones are trying to shove malware onto your machines. Today we go to debian.org, see the valid TLS cert, and assuming there’s no fraudulent issuance of debian.org cert and no attacker injected their cert into our device CA store, we can be reasonably sure the PGP key listed there is genuine.

You only need to look at .onion to see how well the keys without authorities idea turned out.
That seems a fairly specific meaning of the term that may not be in wider use, see eg: https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.10122
Theoretically, the ideas he's talking about make sense. If say, you're a single person w/ no dependents who doesn't itemize making the process much simpler is attractive.

However - as Ted Cruz showed everyone - being able to do your taxes on something the size of a postcard is only possible if just about every specific deduction is cut out.

Once people saw that, it was DoA.

Also, while I'm here, can someone explain what was supposed to replace the IRS in Cruz's plan? (State Governments?) I mean, somebody has to administer and manage this process, however simple it might be.
90 million people is around 6% of the Chinese population. In Nazi Germany approximately 13% of the population were members of the party.
There's a difference between investing in companies, states, and individuals (stocks, bonds, loans), saving in a bank (depending on the structure is usually tied to some kind of investment like those, but not controlled by the saver), and hoarding something under the mattress.

Holding BTC is the same as the last one. The holdings are not invested in anything remotely productive, it's just speculation on the future value.
People don't have too few assets because there aren't any secure assets to invest in. There are plenty already.

People have too few assets because they aren't paid enough for their labor to be able to save, and another class of wealth won't increase the value of labor.

Bitcoin won't make that worse, either, but what it will do is impede democratic efforts to redistribute wealth to the poor, thus "protecting wealth" ... from the people.
>> Budgie can't even comfortably coexist with GNOME Shell on the same OS installation

> Yes, it absolutely can. You can use GDM and log in to both.

>> If you change your settings in GNOME Shell with the Settings app, it will affect your Budgie session.

> It entirely depends on what settings you change. For displays, that generates the mutter related configurations which are used by Budgie because Budgie uses Mutter. Networking is related to NetworkManager and not GNOME. Notifications is something we intentionally hook into for filtering apps in Raven but can trivially be changed, we even have our own set of exclusions. Search doesn't apply to Budgie, that is specific to GNOME Shell. Applications is primarily oriented towards Flatpak. Most of the screen locker functionality isn't related because we use slick-greeter+lightdm+budgie-screensaver (a fork of gnome-screensaver).

> Sound can be independently managed, we do that via Raven for example (which ties into Gvc). Power settings leverage a mix of gnome-related settings and upower. Mouse settings are primarily related to libinput. I could go on.

This is exactly my point. Of course you literally can install Budgie and GNOME Shell next to each other. But the very fact that they step on each others' toes is what I meant when I said "comfortably".

The fact that you basically have to guess what settings will affect the other DE is my point. It also happens to some extent with all DEs- you have to have an intuition for what settings are "system" settings and which are "desktop" settings. But I remember being frustrated in particular that some settings, especially with regard to Mutter, affected the other DE. Neither desktop's settings actually refer to Mutter explicitly, so how is a user supposed to know that changing the window decorations or the double-click-titlebar behavior is going to transfer? I also vaguely remember some settings being exposed in one DE's settings app, but not the other's, but that setting actually having an effect across both (likely Mutter and Gnome Tweaks, if I had to guess).

I'm just saying- I recommend not running both Budgie and GNOME Shell.
Reading through the comments though it looks like I should try making a BTRFS mount for the container storage and that might help the fuse-overlayfs problems though.
In many parts of the world, it is bribery.

The US is currently permissive. Legalized corruption.
Nobody will pay a coffee with BTC, just like you don't pay for your stuff with a gold coins.

Some say Litecoin will be used for that but I doubt it. Coins like Cardano or IOTA will be used for transactions. I'm not sure about Cardano but with IOTA you can transfer a fraction of a cent (or no value at all) without fees (that doesn't mean everything will be always fee-less).
Bitcoin's use as a way of bypassing currency controls is one of the best arguments against it, because governments, already prone to suspicion towards anything that might upset their monetary policy, will have no quarter towards anything that upsets their laws.
Coming soon: the "XBox Fit" doll/accessory for tactile feedback.
The actual number for that quote is 640KB, not 64KB—but I get what you were trying to say.
Yeah, but the problem is that you pretty much have to cut social security and the military, which are two things that can't be cut without unless you end your political career.

So what is left to do is to scramble for the peanuts, while trying to appear economically "though".
Chrome bookmark imports coming?
A bit of background:

I heard about Delicious closing down while at work, and quickly dumped my bookmarks. But with all this talk about data liberation, I decided it might be wise to try and grab some more info. Or at least someone else would.

Then I read this comment (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2014526). My immediate response was "Yeah, you could probably build a scraper to do this, here is how...". That never fixes anything, so like any good hacker, I learned some python, some new XPath tricks, and here I am.

Have fun with it, and be kind to Delicious.
we wrote everything ourselves. what would you like to try?
I think this is a problem in every 3rd world country. At least India is making positive steps.
(Edit: I'm detaching this from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13101402 and marking it off-topic. That example wasn't a clear enough one to make the point about, because the commenter wasn't being snarky or doing anything particularly wrong. Maybe next time it comes up more clearly I'll try again.)

I know it's nitpicky, but please don't use quotation marks when you're not quoting, and especially not when putting words in someone's mouth for rhetorical effect. (That generally isn't a great thing to do either, but was harmless in this case because you did it to praise, not denounce.)

We ask this, partly because the internet is stateless and text fragments are prone to misinterpretation, but also because it's one of those things that subtly degrade substantive discussion.
He prioritizes his own work and I trust his judgment.
This is absolutely true in theory, but in practice Parliament can find it... a little difficult to legislate so as to overrule some exercises of judicial power. This case touches on one of them: the Act establishing the Investigatory Powers Tribunal contains an ouster clause which is expressed as preventing any of its decisions being appealed or questioned in another court (subject to exceptions which don't apply here). And yet, here is the High Court hearing a judicial review of one of the IPT's decisions.

The courts don't like these jurisdiction-stripping ouster clauses, for good reasons - if someone can't be reviewed, what is to stop then committing abuses under colour of law? In Anisminic (1969) the House of Lords ruled that an ouster clause didn't actually apply in a given case, and that decision has been followed and expanded in various cases to this day. Including in this case - today's judgment was given after the Supreme Court ruled the IPT ouster was ineffective for similar reasons.

I'm not aware of any copper-bottomed legislative wording that has been accepted to show that Parliament really does intend to oust jurisdiction, so in practice the courts can and do rule 'they can't really have meant this' even against the express intentions of Parliament.
It must be nice for you that you've never felt persecuted or treated unjustly by human systems and therefore can't extrapolate to how that might play out when autonomous killer robots are thrown into the mix.
If you watch Werner Herzog's "Happy People" documentary about trappers in the Siberian Taiga, and see the relationship between dog and man there, it's easy to see how this relationship could have played out. A bit of frozen fish or meat for the dog, but not too much, means protection and assistance on the trap line, and a companion through the winter.

EDIT: My border collie currently lying behind me on a bed is anxiously and steadily watching me because what she really wants me to do is put on my skis and go for a hike in the woods with her. She won't really be happy until I do that.
