Publishers are responsible & accountable to the FCC and FTC in the United States.

Facebook’s entire argument, until recently, is that they aren’t a publisher.

For TV “The FCC has primary responsibility for determining whether specific advertising is false or misleading, and for taking action against the sponsors of such material.”

https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/complaints-about-broadc...

And the Federal Trade Commission... “When consumers see or hear an advertisement, whether it’s on the Internet, radio or television, or anywhere else, federal law says that ad must be truthful, not misleading, and, when appropriate, backed by scientific evidence.”

https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/media-resources/truth-advert...

The reason we hear about magical cures in spam email & telemarketing is precisely because publishers are held accountable for what they publish & don’t allow those ads in newspapers, magazines, or on TV.
I'm still not grasping it either, to the point that I feel we may eventually learn they are neither, something else that looks to us sometimes like a particle and sometimes like a wave.
I never thought grades mattered much either, until recently. I was asked my GPA a few weeks ago.
Google has as much of an incentive to control the mobile OS experience as Apple. Both realize that controlling the mobile OS experience will enable them to present more of their mobile services to users, thus increasing revenue over time. Banning an app solely based on the fact that it features a competitor's product is an anti-competitive measure which should be denounced and discouraged.
Calling the standard stack "fragile custom code" doesn't do much for their credibility here. I mean, really. Fragile?
I think the key point here is not about never expanding your comfort zone - it's about not doing it just because someone else advises it.

There's a world of difference between choosing to step outside your limits because you've identified something that you aspire to, and doing so because someone else thinks they know what's good for you.
The article suggested decoupling research and teaching. That might be worth doing, but it's already done. There are plenty of schools that don't do research, and don't have graduate programs. I think the more radical and effective thing to do would be to decouple teaching from certification.
You bifurcate "I" and "me" implying the former can reliably create such a state in the latter; if this is the case, then what's actually at work in forming your "me"?
Great! Love it! Found one small bug: when you view a user's profile, your own profile name at the top becomes a link to the viewed user's profile rather than your own.
Haha, oh top-hat. Going off topic here a bit (the points in the post itself are more or less sound).

Top-hat monocle is a web-based quiz/online tutorial system. You can put flash based demos, and random quizzes on it, and students can answer on their laptops, or text in the answers from their phones.

We got use to top-hat monocle for one of our courses last term. It was a joke (took forever for the demos to load... flash...). Beyond the usual 'a tool can only make a poor user screw up even with ever greater speed', we had to pay to get our license... to what was then beta software. They admitted to us that 'they weren't done testing' and that we were going to be the last group to 'get to try' the system before it went into wide release.

I won't argue about the effectiveness of the system (it is a tool, whose effectiveness depends on its user), but paying to be part of the final set of testers definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.
Grow big enough, attract critics automatically, no matter what you do.

It's a law of nature.
I don't think this is possible in a mainstream management game, for the same reason a mainstream extermination camp simulator is not feasible. Just imagine the outrage if Maxis did this.
To get fully immersed in another world. For example, playing games or watching a movie. I go to an IMAX theatre because it engulfs my senses, audio all around me, most of my field of view watching the screen. If the screen were translucent it simply wouldn't be the same.

This will no doubt have some incredible applications, most of which augment reality. Not quite the same goal as Occulus.
Used a US VPN to see whats the latest version and its 2.11.491, which is the same as installed version on mine (India). However, I still don't see the option to scan QR code.
If we had that, I suspect lots of people would say "ah, well, that's just a clever bit of programming - it's not really thinking/feeling/alive/conscious/whatever, so I'd hardly call that good AI".

Also I'd bet the body helps - if you had a 'cloud' (not android) version of Data, people would be even harder to convince.
Remember the cat-petting game that was the first demo for the Kinect?
They are different concepts but, in this context, they amount to the same.

There is no harm in being offended. There is no harm in being shocked. I want art that offends me. I want art the shocks me.
There is already a huge market for PCI compliance services.
That's exactly what I'm saying. The lie sold is that the thing you "love doing" requires little effort; will show you no failure or frustration.

That's what the self-esteem group puts forward when they run from failure in the name of hurt feelings. It's a lie.
Cool. Would it be possible for me as a user to specify that only PGP signed emails should be auto-posted, and everything else should be subject to a confirmation email?

That would be the ideal scenario for me personally...
Ah OK - what's with the title?
It's definitely a "strange" world. I can't believe that Target would use the quotes in that way. It's really surprising given their emphasis on design.
Perhaps, if a country is shown to launch these kind of attacks[1], a second "great firewall" could be installed at peering points with that country, to filter out this kind of attack before it can reach the internet as a whole ...

[1] assuming, of course, this is the work of a government, and not simply some disenfranchised actors inside said government
The class warfare narrative is complete nonsense for another reason.

There is nothing inherently wrong with being short a stock - and even if there were, shorts create new long positions, when they are opened! A stock that's 130% shorted has 230% of its shares held by long positions. If long positions are so virtuous, then short sellers should be commended for creating so many of them.

Shorts are a market way to deflate bubbles before they grow too big. I understand that people who only want to see the numbers of their positions grow are displeased by any negative sentiment about them, but people who want to buy into long positions benefit from lower prices.
This tweet thread [0] is hilarious and scary and sad all at the same time.

I'm in disbelief that this domain is with Godaddy.

Edit: Over an hour of downtime and Backblaze claims they're still "On hold" and haven't talked to anyone yet.

Should be a reminder to anyone with production domains @ Godaddy... don't.

Jquery is horrible for many reasons.
But it made it easy to be a full stack developer.

Things are far more challenging these days.
Penicillin (1928)?
I know of a fairly large employer in the pharmaceutical space that installs spyware on company computers that employees take home, and uses that spyware to keep tabs on what websites were visited on the machines. They made decisions to fire certain employees based on it, too.
After going through the exact same thing (ulnar nerve RSI, pain in my wrist and hand, caused by my shoulder), my PT recommended a suspension trainer. It's cheap, doesn't take a lot of space and you can adjust your body angle to "set the weight". For example, if push ups are too hard, just reduce the angle until you can handle it. This way you can vary load from nothing up to your body weight. Pretty easy to set up too (I just bolted it onto a sturdy wall).

He recommended I exercise every day, I picked just before bedtime as a constant so it's easier to remember.

Instead of sets and repetitions he gave me the rule to just keep going with each exercise until I can't anymore (and that doesn't take much in the beginning).

Finally he gave me the advice to always choose exercises from three different categories: push, pull, and legs.

So you could get started with (1) pull ups/rows/flys, (2) standing push ups and finish with (3) squats for example. There's tons of charts online. Rows and flys are good for strengthening your shoulders.

Also, remember to take the exercises slowly and be mindful/aware of your motions and posture. Don't rush through them, put some music on, put your phone away, focus on the exercises! Quality over quantity.

Hope this helps. It worked wonders for me!
So I have done this for major things like coffee, milk, wheat. For about a week or so at a time. I guess I can try each again for 2+ weeks... However I'm not convinced the current issue (itching) is related. The symptoms only really present themself at night when going to bed, as I guess I have no other stimuli to focus on. During the day it's basically not an issue.

I plan on trying longer fasts (3days, 5days), maybe 7days as well.
> Itanium failed because brilliant compilers didn't exist and it was barely faster even with hand-tuned code, especially when you adjusted for cost, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't matter at all.

What you said is true for libraries, I just don't think it's true for compiler optimizations. Even Apple's clang just doesn't have any new optimizations that work on their own; there are certainly new features but they're usually intrinsics and other things that need to be adopted by hand. They thought this would happen (it's what bitcode was sold as doing) but in practice it has not happened.
I think now might be a good time to stop obsessing over acceleration of EV cars. What Tesla did with their high-performance EV cars was to prove that electric did not equate to a milk float, and they shut up the performance-car obsessed pistonheads and the car press with their 0-60 times.

But this is turning into a penis-waving / megapixel arms race, where EV journalism is obsessed with only two metrics - range and performance. We're at the point now where EVs are generally faster than their ICE counterpart (due to smooth power application, consistent torque and no requirement for gear changes), with a range that will meet the needs of 95%+ of daily commutes.

There are a whole range of different types of EV vehicles, in terms of size, luxury, and purpose to meet different needs, but the reviews seem to obsess over a drag race.

What we need now is a good EV charging infrastructure. Widely available rapid charging that will give your EV 2 hours of driving for 20 minutes will mitigate the need for bigger batteries. And not just for Tesla.
> "Though Porsche Cars North America does not condone, promote, or acknowledge any sort of activity that would violate the rules of the road,

And yet in the very next sentence they acknowledge it
Annalists have been saying this for years. I'm skeptical. Along many other reasons, there aren't enough batteries to go around.
I was with BofA during this time, around 2006. On top of posting highest to lowest, they had a hidden account allowance, called a "Matrix allowance", which was basically a hidden line of credit behind every checking account. It was the maximum amount of money the bank would allow the account to become overdrawn before denying transactions. The allowance amount increased if the account became overdrawn frequency and the overdraft fees were paid.
I have mixed feelings about this.

At the end of the day, we all pay for the roads, we should all be allowed to use them.

But I have done a little speeding on scenic routes.
> Their legal challenges with Apple might’ve put a dampener

They started the fight, and I think it's safe to say they knew what they were getting into.
How does this square with OWC's dock: https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/01/07/owc-debuts-refres...

From the article:

"
It connects to a computer via a single Thunderbolt port, and can drive up to two dual 4K displays or a single 5K, 6K, or 8K display.

It's clearly illegal and immoral for the police to shoot political protesters for trespassing. It's equally immoral to try, convict, and execute political protesters who are trespassing for sedition or treason. Killing people because you don't like their politics, or because you're upset at their political protest is wrong and immoral.
To some extend thats of course possible. Wouldn't that be funny if in the end, all crew member travel separately because its cheaper? :-D Now thats isolation! At least they would have short latency when talking to each other.

Of course, once you've build a big enough rocket, its usually cheaper than multiple small ones. But there is a market for medium size rockets like the Falcon Heavy already. Not so, for bigger rockets - yet.
Very nifty app - took a look at accommodations for Chicago, where I will be going in two weeks, and was disappointed to have found only one entry. Along with it, there was no price information.

However, your very clean presentation on location, time from touristy attractions, and amenities included is fantastic.

What are you guys using for outbound email? I'd love to talk shop.

Good luck!
I live in the south of England and some places were in the north. Yes, I would say some of the locations are 100 miles away from me at all times.
GPS doesn't require requests to a server, AFAIK.
One thing I'd forgot to mention, and is probably applicable in this case, is that 'non-standard' approaches may in fact not be computationally feasibly when a project first starts out. Precomputing loads of tables of data makes sense when you're on 3ghz processors, but probably not if you're on 200mhz CPUs, for example.
>its need to (illegally) leverage its desktop OS monopoly into the mobile space in order to gain market share there

Huh, how can that happen? Is MS forcing PC OEMs to bundle Windows Phones with their PCs?

If intent is important, then all of Apple's lawsuits against Android will be thrown out, since Apple can be construed as trying to gain a monopoly in the mobile phone market.

>Oh yes, I am criticizing Microsoft. Let the karma burn.

This is HN. Maybe you mean Apple?
I was wondering why you would chose SMS over a notification system. So many advertising companies have tried using SMS, that ads asking for my phone number have gained a bad stigma (for me, at least!).
But, in reality, I have unlimited messaging, and the ability to block messages from specific users. I really have no reason to feel this way anymore.
I'm going to try it out. Thanks for commenting here!
Seconding this. The initial load was mighty slow, but everything else after that was pretty snappy.
The introduction of universal literacy is but a terrible machination to deprive us hard-working scribes of our wages. These bright-eyed children (so eager to learn our trade) are weapons forged to deprive us of our pay. Let us stand against this sickening project to educate our children - for there is no class of people so trod upon as those in our trade, no bundle of sticks in such need of binding. And let us make this stand now before the boots of our oppressors become child-sized!
Neat. What lead you to decide on Ruby? I feel like Python used to be the most common beginner language, and maybe it still is, but it really seems like Ruby has gained over the past few years. Which is fine, because it's a great language, but I am curious what gives.
And without the 97% of people doing the actual work, the "organizer" wouldn't have a job either. Sure, presently management is making a grossly disproportionate amount of the profit but that doesn't make it right. This lack of balance is one of the looming economic crises facing the US.

Your blithe comment implies that this is reasonable, I strongly disagree.
Quote: "Selling off naming rights to the next NASA space shuttle doesn’t strike us as a bad idea if it gets us to the Moon, an asteroid, or Mars sooner."

WTF -- what would "the next NASA space shuttle" refer to? The date on the article (today) flatly contradicts its content. There's not going to be a "next NASA space shuttle".
Wealth transfer because of the tax code occurs all the time, every day. Yet some here I can guarantee would scream bloody murder if they lost their piece of that wealth transfer. Two of which are easy, the ACA and EV tax credits, both transfer wealth but in different ways. The first from the young and healthy who usually are at the beginning of their income generating years and hopefully their lowest pay in their career to those at career and life end where they might have the homes paid for, retirement incomes, and more. Then the EV tax credit gives to people making purchases of cars beyond the reach of average workers.

What is the point? The tax code created this imbalance and continues to do so as it is the number one means by which politicians separate us. They play us off each other and the tax code allows the to reward or punish.

Simplify the tax code so that anyone with a high school education can see the money and that will lead to people clamoring for a change.
That's my understanding as well, but it's pretty fuzzy. How does the client stop the push, and what are the performance implications of this? Pages currently include dozens of external resources, and this will get worse if developers stop using bundles and sprites (because in theory HTTP/2 makes them pointless).
It's a bit embarasing, but I'm not sure. I released it in June or July and didn't notice it for a long time (wasn't an iOS user). Then we've been working on a complete rewrite for a long time. The new release awaits App Store review.
Think about all the struggling artistic types out there though. Ask any unknown rock group who they like and they'll probably name the same legendary bands like Zeppelin, Floyd, etc., but most of them will never make it anywhere.

Tons of people have 'good taste', but I think there are certain careers where it's not a valid indicator of future success... not even close. Telling a musician "you have good taste, so you'll do well if you just keep trying" would be horrible advice 99% of the time. Hell, I wouldn't even say good taste is a prerequisite for music, because people always think the innovators are completely insane until they become the next big thing.
Sorry for the late responses. Yes, I'd imagine it should work better. In my case I don't tend to hear frontal direction in most binaural recordings. How would you create such a custom HRTF? Measuring somehow or should it be manually calibrated? Seems like a pretty interesting problem, I might do some experiments with this some day.
I have worked with someone who was 10x more productive than the rest of the team. His contribution was acknowledged, he had a fancy job title and he was paid more. There were 2 issues with this guy:

1) Since he had privileged treatment his colleagues did not like him!
2) He did write code a lot faster than anyone else, but his code was not optimized. Since he was the 'head of development' (or something like that) pointing out that his code was not optimized did not have any effect (he was really stubborn). So we shipped the code fast, usually we would get a complaint by the customer, re-evaluated the code, optimized it and send it back.

I would say that his code writing productivity did not seriously effect the overall development cycle of the project. As many of you said, there is no systematic way of measuring productivity!
Right now the official twitter app links only to instapaper, and I went across a few other apps in the same case. Putting a premium on the ptice can be a way to leverage on this and have the user to expect more value from Instapaper.

Thinking about it, I mourn this move on the lite version because I can no longer compare between the two services. Would someone ask my recommandation I'd just push RIL short of having a hand on Instapaper.
Of course, but with a bit of research it might be a better long term alternative; suppressing the immune system isn't something that'll ensure longevity.
Proving once and for all that Huxley is better than Orwell...
you said it.
I learnt about price discrimination in a pop-economics book a few years ago, and it's everywhere. One of the most important things I've ever learnt.
The text that flies up in that video... I read REALLY fast and I missed some of it. I had to rewatch that part specifically waiting for the text to read it.

As for the novel itself... Well, I can't really judge it since it's not there, and I don't think that video does a good job showing it off. It's like an RPG that only shows cutscenes in the commercial. It doesn't actually represent the meat of the thing, so it fails to pull me in at all.
You can hide your money, and then you can launder your money. I don't know much about bitcoin and about money laundering to know if it would make it any easier, or even harder. I do know, however, that if it makes it any easier, the big fat cats will make good use of it. But maybe there's no difference, I don't know. Maybe somebody chimes in?

This book's author claims it is the third largest business(money laundering):

The search, however, is unmatched by physical books.
>Nobody (outside our tech filter-bubble) cares what Amazon does or doesn't do beyond their shopping and book business.

So true.
Presumably the plots represent averages. This hides the actual ranges of the reported self assessments, but it is likely that there is substantial overlap between adjacent test score groups. Just curving out the scale isn't going to address that.
Possibly pacemaker firmware? I have no real knowledge of the subject, but I'm guessing it'd be kind of risky to equip a pacemaker with Bluetooth to accept over-the-air firmware updates.
It will be in PHP6.
Makes me miss Lisp machines :-/
Very easy problem to solve. Completely block Apple and all of its fan sites from being found in the search results on Google. Turn about is fair play...
Lots of people will buy PCs too... what's shaky? The editorializing of the article? That's rabid hype, not Jobs' opinion.
Ok, help me out there. I don’t know a single person who ever bought a truck. I live in a small town in Germany. Am I out living in a bubble?

(That quote is missing some context, maybe that’s were the confusion stems from. He was talking about cars in the US being used in predominantly agricultural contexts in the beginning and the change away from those “trucks” to leaner cars. He did not say that nobody buys trucks anymore. In fact, just that was his point.)
What if my opinion is that software should have more settings? I am very opinionated about that.
I think they fell for a while, but in the last few years they seem to be doing very well.
Who is the Feynman of our time?
Which thing?
No. The lack of regulation in the US is.

The solution is to firewall the internet in the UE.
> It turns out Kubernetes is actually perfect for small teams

As long as at least one of them is an expert on kubernetes. In this case, the one person in the team is that person, and as he points out in the article, he's using it because it's what he knows.

That should be the takeaway, I think. The "trope" remains pretty sensible IMO; I've seen it first-hand, jumping on kubernetes without the know-how is a foot-gun factory, and that team ultimately gave up on trying to implement it.
