No, it's closer to "every site you could visit - Facebook, Amazon, Reddit, Instagram, etc. - can track you. And since Incognito mode doesn't announce when it's set, Alphabet is no different."

As far as I understand it, Incognito appears just like any other chrome browser. It seems like you want Aplhabet websites to specifically exempt Incognito browsers from data collection. That would require building mechanisms to identify incognito browsers. That makes it easier for websites to block content if they detect private browsing, which is a valid concern.

And it's really hard to call it fraud when Incognito mode explicitly tell it's users what it does:

Chrome won't save the following information:

- Your browsing history

- Cookies and site data

- Information entered in forms

Your activity might still be visible to:

- Websites you visit

- Your employer or school

- Your internet service provider

Even before I knew how to program I understood that Incognito didn't save browsing history but websites could still see your IP address, and your ISP could see what domains you hit. I'm really not seeing anything remotely close to fraud here. This headline makes it sound like they're breaching people's privacy, when in reality it's just the fact that Incognito mode is a setting on your browser to clear cookies and not save browsing history - not some magically spell that prevents websites from tracking you.
There is the possibility to block them via a pihole.

I never tried it myself so I do not know about the effectiveness and false positives.
“The computer sets the algorithm and as hotel business increases, the rates increase. I have nothing to do with that,” he said at the time.

Blaming it on "the computer" is so 70s. That and, as another commenter points out, one best hope that none of those customers are a minority as the "the computers ate my baby!" excuse might not sit so well with a judge.
Is there a good AutoCAD alternative for linux (FOSS)? Haven't worked with *CAD a lot, but probably will have to in near future (long story), and i need some basic cad drawings.
Nice check. I guess they relaxed a bit since Apple raised the app size limits :) (sorry for the snark in the previous post)
"hey could choose to publish purely in open source journals and this would be a non-issue."

These journals often offload the cost of publishing onto the authors themselves, and that money is tight. An open access publication is about the same cost as keeping an undergrad employed in my lab for a semester.

And that ignores, as others have noted, that career incentives put "Only publish in open access journals" as the kind of principled stand that might kill a new researcher's career.
I don't get it.
Stick in the CentOS CD, click install, add the root user account and password

And you're done. Server up and running. done about 20 of them in the last twelve months.
What's all this "package" stuff about? what's wrong with yum?
And custom domains already cover that. This looks really great and thorough, congratulations!
This is, in my opinion, no solid reasoning. It's more like the weazeling out, which is so very typical for Facebook.

The reasoning does not stand up for ads, which are very obvious, proofable lies and which they still refuse to withdraw.
This might pair well with an Othernet kit, supposing you're in a coverage area.

There are always outliers but tell me this, is $200k really worth it on the left coast? Life is too short for that.
Also from the issue: "the bug, whatever it is, could be in the kernel and not the hardware"
I really wish more release documentation pointed you to how to perform that upgrade. This page, the front page, nor the installation pages show up to upgrade.

No, it isn't "hard" to figure out, and I personally know how to do it, but for newer users it puts up a barrier to entry.
That's a fair point. I've already added an additional domain to the site and will add more that look "generic" soon too.

And then why does it say it was made in Stockholm?
Language can be debated, I agree with you, but

What’s wrong with single authorship and no affiliation?

At the end of the day, if the paper proposes some idea or method, and achieves the stated claims (with reproducible code), then I don’t care who wrote it, how many authors there were, and who the authors work for.
Regardless of Stallman's preferences, it doesn't seem like that's panning out very well.

Fortunes are made every day by people and companies using OSS, but so rare is the open-source millionaire (or even sole operator eeking out a living) that they're largely exceptions that prove the rule.

So, keeping software proprietary isn't strictly necessary for making money, but the correlation is so strong as to make any alternative interpretation moot.
So many gems in this one that shows the bias of the author:
"Simply: the Bitcoin blockchain only transfers and secures bitcoins. It does not move actual money like Fedwire does."
This is factually incorrect when you actually own both of these "monies". But it wouldn't bother you if you only own the devaluing one.
The aircraft is flying faster than it is taking you to process the changes that are occurring during the flight.

There are a number of things you need to process as you fly, from radios to maps to situational awareness. For less experienced pilots, or when you have passengers than are pointing out all sorts of shit, this can take time. During all this time the aircraft is moving and the condition is changing.

You need to not only know where you are now, but where you will be in the future. If you lose this, you find the aircraft getting to places faster than you can prepare for, and that can be nasty.

To relate, it's very similar to driving a car for the first time. There seems to be so much more to check, from mirrors to gauges to the road. The reaction for new drivers is to slow down to give yourself time to catch up.

Another analogy would be sports. If you play a team sport with those that have played for years, you can find yourself reacting to things after they have happened. This isn't because you don't know what to do, but more so because by the time you've figured it out and acted, the event has already occurred.
I'm just thankful that the TSA makes people mail home their keychain Swiss Army knives with 1-inch, non-locking blades. Goodness knows what sort of carnage someone could inflict with that. Almost as much as with a ballpoint pen, which I notice they are still allowing. For shame.

I will not feel truly safe until each of us is forced to change into a hospital gown, be cavity-searched, and be duct-taped inside of a cargo container for the duration of the flight.
Ah I just realized we might be talking cross-wires here.

In the software developer market, most jobs advertised by recruiters aren't "secret". However in other markets such as executive level roles it is the norm.

There are two type of recruiter generally distinguishable by their relationship with the employer (exclusive versus non-exclusive). Exclusive recruiters tend to be used in the executive market when employers want to be discrete about a job, non-exclusive (which is the norm in tech) tend to be used primarily as a way to source candidates.
I like the simple and clean layout, however, what I really need is a way to send large files (>200meg).
ok bro.
I totally agree with you - the Chinese government has some right to protect their sovereignty, but if github or the American way of life is so offensive, then block the website and tools outright. I live here too, and it's kind of offensive when (speaking generally now) Chinese people want cherry-picked access to Western technology, science, design, creativity etc. but then aggressively reject the culture that produced them.
My critique of the model is more that outsourcing will get expensive quickly. The founder of this product 120+ schools to support with 30k. Many of these schools are expecting lifetime support: they paid a one time $250 fee. It's not clear what the legal relationship is between the service provider and the schools either, which may be a problem.

So my critique has nothing to do with technical skill, it's more that getting 'profitable' quickly without any consideration of the potential long term debt can be a bad business decision.

In my view, these were shaky business decisions (to outsource development, cutting legal corners w schools, one time fees), rather than technical ones, if that makes sense. There are times when outsourcing is the right call, in the context of this particular business I'm not convinced.

Ps. The adequate technical skill to execute is kinda assumed if you're founding a tech startup. If it's just building a product without the expectation of scaling it you can maybe get with outsourcing. This might be why there's more of a discussion on HN about the business side - this is the area that most of the audience here need to develop.

I remember reading that YC was founded in the first place with a hypothesis that teaching tech founders the nontech skills (eg. business/communication skills) is far, far more effective than vice versa. Seems it was right.
But if users just click OK multiple times it still means more requests (since it was happening every 2secs).
> videogames cost a ridiculous amount

Yes, but it's a lot of currency/cost of living differences as well.
The reason most scientists do routine safe work is that they need to publish a certain number of papers per year to get or keep their job.

If you work on something important, spend a couple years on it, and go nowhere, your career may be over.

It also was different 50 years ago, when almost any scientist with a PhD could get a decent tenure-track job. Now, there's a severe oversupply of PhDs, which means a lot of them need to scramble to survive instead of working on important problems.
It’s a proactive measure. There is likely more to come.
These platforms were used to incite a coup of our government. This is a perfect, clear-cut reason to ban a user/group.

Platforms ban bad actors all the time. Anyone taking advantage of a service against its TOS or against the country it is bound to is not welcome.
> You see that because you believe that and spoken language is ambiguous.

By this reasoning there is no such thing as a meaningful statement in a human language.

Anyway. I think we'll agree to disagree. Pleasure chatting with you, and stay safe.
Twitter has an insane amount of power. They are just choosing to use very little of it.

Replace Dorsey with Murdoch for a day and tell me twitter doesn't have too much power.
For those who think the parent comment was conflating extreme right and average right, I just want to add some clarification as to why deplatforming still affects large swathes of the population and not just extreme segments.

I’m a strong social and fiscal conservative who never voted for nor liked Trump. I’m religious and that informs my opinions on a lot of social issues. I would be in strange company on Parler, but this still bothers me.

My family are all strong Trump supporters to the point that leaves me shaking my head. Working in technology, I also have a lot of progressive friends and coworkers.

As a racial minority, I think I can say this. There’s a real analogue to the general sentiment that LGBT, POC, or female Americans experience and worry about social or professional consequences to voicing their experiences and opinions and the general sentiment conservatives experience from voicing theirs.

Before you castigate me and say it’s false equivalence, take the good advice of the anti-racism movement and “just listen” to why I feel that way.

This is my personal experience as a POC and as a religious conservative working in tech. Even as a more moderate conservative (e.g., I believe climate change is anthropogenic and the state needs to correct for market failures), I genuinely feel like my voice is being suppressed—that is, my opinions are becoming less tolerable by the mainstream. For example, I have very traditional views about LGBT issues and abortion, but those views are becoming labeled as violent (I don’t believe in any kind of violence, BTW, but just believing that doesn’t accord with mainstream beliefs is considered hurtful and violent), in spite of how I support legislation and personally demonstrate fairness and tolerance for my LGBT friends and am sympathetic to women’s health issues.

There are a lot of people on the right who would do well to listen to BLM and those who feel like their voices are being suppressed. There are a lot of people on the left who would do well to listen to conservatives who feel like their voices are being suppressed. Let’s just have more humility about these things. If you feel like you’re in a morally/intellectually/factually superior position, quit treating people who aren’t as enlightened as the enemy. Treat them with some decency and compassion and listen so you might persuade them instead of berating them about their wrongness.

I think it’s hubris to be so confident in our own positions as to preclude accepting people’s lived experiences (like mine) as meaningful anecdata.

As I continue to feel the shift to fewer and fewer outlets for my voice, I genuinely worry. I blame the extremists on the right, absolutely, but I also blame extremists on the left. At the core I blame the tendency to not listen.
? He repeatedly told them to be peaceful and then to go home. What/how exactly did he incite this?

Serious truth bending for political capital, which has been the DC establishment playbook the entire trump admin.
The Paulbots have to start up the spam machine for Rand Paul's 2016 run somewhere. Gotta keep the money flowing into the Paul family!
The Guardian's lawyer eventually got to see Miranda an hour before he was released.

The Guardian destroyed their own laptops rather than handing them over the to security services (my reading is the security services were concerned about the laptops falling into the wrong hands)

I don't like the way the UK government has behaved but the Guardian is omitting things in it's reports and that leads to questions about its credibility too.
Yeah, I got it that the gun moves, but this part:

> The laser target designator is then used to illuminate the target and the in-flight projectile detects the radiant laser energy reflected by the target and the navigation system steers the shell towards the point of greatest incident energy—the designated target with top attack pattern

I think means that the shell basically hits where the drone-laser points at any one moment, not where the drone-laser was pointing when the shell was first fired. Which means that if the target moves then the laser can still remain focused on it for the shell to hit said target, even if the target is moving.
Trump turned America into Africa :(

I think the search function is working fine, the app is just called "AnySoftKeyboard 3D Theme" in the F-Droid app but not on the website for some reason.
"WhatsApp is owned by fucking Facebook. Let that sear in your mind"

You might have good arguments for your white-hot searing hatred of this company, but I will confess, it makes your position look much worse when you represent it with hotly charged emotional statements instead of reasoning.

For example: I find it trivial to understand why someone would call a Facebook service "Critical Infrastructure", thinking about how we don't control how families and communities choose to meet up.

Your childs little league sport uses facebook, your aunt and uncles have organized the family into a whatsapp channel, your President incites riots on Twitter... we don't get to choose which networks are the critical ones, and sometimes, we make the binary choice of "Be apart of society" or "Don't".

Just my 2c, it doesn't seem that hard to understand why he would call these things critical, when you actually take a few moments to think it through honestly.
Same in the UK. All my friends, family, coworkers. My boss. I've used WhatsApp instead of email to communicate with my landlord, recruiters. Some companies even use it for customer service as an alternative to phone or some terrible chat built into their website.
Personally, I wish Twitter was one audio-only party line.
Two minutes of listening to a million people yelling their thoughts in real rime would reveal exactly what is happening there - and what a complete waste of time it is.
This has a TempleOS/Urbit vibe of sorts.
Is Google a good net citizen now?
I use MessagEase, which has a wacky layout that makes typos much less frequent, and thus doesn't need autocorrect.

Not open-source, unfortunately.
Anyone knows how the laser lighting works on stage. The effect looks like the light beam has a start/end and can move, similar to a lightsaber. e.g. around -44minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZbVixSkgu0
It was at livestream.tesla.com. Looks like the stream is no longer up.

Not necessarily. See MathML.
I sense a disturbance in the force, like the voices of millions of inner nine year olds howling in ecstasy (myself included)
Strange hypocrisy from a moderator. You do not seem to have a problem with American nationalist dogs.
Outlier? Well that depends on a lot of things - social class, colour, gender, religion, position on the environment etc. What looks like an outlier to you may not be an outlier to lots of other people.

The point: there aren't gonna be criminal consequences for a bad cop who made a wrongful arrest if it never goes to trial.

QI shields them from civil suits, so they're quite well protected on both fronts.
If customers do not care enough to stop using the product then there is no harm. Put in another way: the people you are trying to protect don't want your protection, because they don't care enough about the breach to stop using the product.

They shouldn't be learning about the breaches from the company that has been breached because that gives the company too much power. Instead we should empower watchdog organizations to be our source of news for data breaches.

> Some large companies make every effort, but are still plagued by lawsuits.

But that's clearly not what's happening in this case:

> Facebook Inc did not notify the more than 530 million users whose details were obtained through the misuse of a feature before 2019 and recently made public in a database, and does not currently have plans to do so, a company spokesman said on Wednesday.

...

> Ireland’s Data Protection Commission, the European Union’s lead regulator for Facebook, said on Tuesday it had contacted the company about the data leak. It said it received “no proactive communication from Facebook” but was now in contact.

> The July 2019 FTC settlement requires Facebook to report details about unauthorized access to data on 500 or more users within 30 days of confirming an incident.

I'm not sure how that can be categorised as making every effort?

(EDIT: formatting)
Yeah I just looked at the prices and was shocked at how expensive they are!

I am in France and my 50GB mobile data (unlimited calls and texts) is part of my €55/month home internet package (which includes 1Gbit fiber internet, land line and a TV box + package not that I care for that).

America has crazy expensive prices for mobile plans!
Hah! I haven't found anyone criticizing your comment yet.

...oh drat!
partnership is an endorsement, plain and simple

Not at all.

I'll continue the Facebook ⟺ Communist China comparison of my other comment – which ought to demonstrate I'm not coming at this issue with total sympathy for Facebook. A policy of engagement means only, "we're pragmatic enough to work together on matters of common benefit", not "we endorse everything about our partner".

A lot of positive-sum interactions would be lost, and society would be a lot less civil, if we had to shun partnering with anyone we weren't ready to 'endorse'. That's the mindset of a crusader rather than a businessperson.
Hiya. Your English is pretty good, but non-native. You need to work on having cultural fluency as well as having linguistic fluency. Americans and, in particular, Americans with hiring authority do not respond well to excessive modesty. You should stop saying things like "I have to admit that I am not the smartest person" and "My brain has been dumb for several years."

Saying things like this will make Americans with hiring authority think that either you are being sincere and are stupid (no hire), that you have severe personality issues which will make you difficult to work with (no hire), or that you are culturally inept and will be difficult to work with (no hire). There is a fairly easy way to avoid these difficulties: find a model of culturally correct behavior and act like they do. Your model person would likely a) be confident that they are well-qualified with regards to what they want to be hired to do and b) not brag excessively about their competence. Don't worry about where the exact balancing point between confidence and bragging is -- any attempt to move closer to it will make you more successful at locating employment than you are currently.

Also, getting employed is a matter of selling something (selling your future employers on the notion that they should employ you). Successful sales is more about them and their needs than it is about you and your story. Your relationship with your parents, your home culture, the laptop you bought, etc, do not constitute reasons why a particular company should hire you. You should not talk about them. Instead, you should figure out what the company needs and point to specific, identifiable experiences which demonstrate that you will successfully be able to meet that need.
The first thing that happens when you start being honest is that you realize what a dick you really are. Once you see that, you get to change it, instead of hiding it like all the sleepwalkers.
