First, many people log into non-Google services using their Google account. If you can't log into it from a third party browser, you'd have to keep using Chrome even if you didn't want to.

Also there is speculation that with browsers blocking third party cookies, Google might eventually perform ad tracking via the browser, via your Google account. Websites that live from ads like news websites will notice this and block users who are not logged into Google, as they don't add revenue. So eventually it might be possible that large parts of the web become inaccessible to you.
Another comment regarding the click and drag behavior.

One thing I would definitely expect a recent migrant to apple trackpads to experience as negative would be "force click". The apple trackpads sense force in some analogue way and if you push hard enough you can activate another action called force click. It's ridiculously easy to activate on accident when holding click while dragging -- but this "feature" can be turned off (and probably should be for most people I'd wager).

I've never tried using the middle finger for dragging -- seems awkward but i'll give it a try ... won't that activate the two finger drag operation?
Seems like it's still online till March 1, 2022.

Yes, if make threw away all the context and everything you had done prior to a target completing, and only gave the outputs of the target to the next target.
Apple controls the app, the network, and the devices that gather the location information.

It seems like in order to show me where my missing item is, they have to be able to determine my device’s information. They might claim to choose not to do that correlation until I open the app and go looking, but once I do, it seems obvious that Apple can tell where my device is (in order that they can tell me where it is in their Find My app).

Requiring a pin to switch it off might just cause someone to invent a device that can be inserted into the Lightning port to cause a shutdown without affecting the for-parts resale value of the phone. (For example, the device could cause a short circuit or apply an unexpected voltage, causing the power controller to shut off power to the device.) If the attacker has physical access, there's not much you can do.
The internet IS the social credit system. Maybe i should get out of the internet?
"she worked in a Google data centre, she was actually employed by a subcontractor called Modis, part of a group of companies owned by another firm, Adecco.

That complex arrangement has become increasingly common at Google."

This complex arrangement is common in every large corporation. The two layers of contracting companies rarely have any contact with the workers who are fully controlled by managers at the paying company (Google in this case). However, everyone is very careful to officially document that no one at the company is the manager of the contracted employee. But they are.
Had a cat that kept going to the vet with kidney problems.

Couldn't figure out what the problem was, but eventually tracked it down to the plug-in air freshener next to her perch.

Got rid of it and the bloodwork started coming back normal almost instantly.
OS/2 was always tied to the 80286. Even 2.0 still used 16bit device drivers, and used the 16bit stuff at its core.

Where is your startup thenayr?

Don't bring negativity into HN like this. These guys have already posted that they are looking for a designer, and the fact that the site is only 6 weeks old and probably dealing with massive scaling issues makes it all the more OK that they need some time to get the UI up to snuff.

Good on ya guys.
So now it seems that AMD is going in a more GPGPU direction, incorporating the equivalents of some of the changes that NVidia made with their most recent architecture.
Fair enough. Seems like a whole lot of effort for very little gain.
> Secondly, con-artists are people that mislead and manipulate other people to have a (personal) gain, either financially or otherwise.

That appears to be exactly what you're doing. Unless, of course, you're trying to claim that your company is some kind of altruistic non-profit that manipulates people for the greater good.
The two main disagreements I have with this are, one that I can't put into words very clearly and will come back to, and my generally repetitive comment on these issues that you - MichaelOChurch2015 - weren't born, you were made by your life experiences. A child was born, a nearly blank slate, and formed into 'you' by experiences.

The idea that you could have been born "somewhere else" or "to someone else" or "in another time" is a nonsense idea. We know exactly what happens to children born elsewhere and elsewhen and to other parents - they become other people. Not people we clairvoyantly share qualia with, not people we are superimposed-upon or people we are hiding-inside, not "us" in any way shape or form, just 100% other people.

Following that, the idea that someone could be born twice also seems nonsensical. (Boltzmann Brains excepted; MichaelOChurch2015 might appear for a few Plancktimes in the near heat-death void. Not that we'll ever know).

The first point; moment by moment in life we experience our surroundings. Continuous sensory input which we continually respond to in large and small scales from planning the next week to blinking and shifting in our seats. I suspect this pervasive connection from experience to physical reality to be fundamental to qualia and consciousness, and so the idea that we could go to an afterlife with no body, no senses, no time, no drive for physical sustenance - and still in any way remain who we are - doesn't fit.

If you don't get up in the morning, because you have no body and didn't sleep, and you aren't in your normal environment, you don't put on your clothes because they don't exist anymore along with all your other property, don't breakfast or exercise, don't stretch your achey ankle, don't prepare yourself for your day filled with not going places and not doing things that could affect the organisation of matter and cash, and you don't do all that in absense-of-time and there are no faces to recognise... then who are "you" in such an afterlife anyway? Especially if you arrived there age 95, demented and memoryless. If such an afterlife exists, so what? It's so different as to be not worth thinking of as a continuation of oneself.

"Imagine waking up in someone else's body". "Is that what the afterlife is like?" "No, imagine not waking up. And you're not in a body". "What do I see?". "Nothing, you have no eyes and you aren't anywhere". That should have been laughed out the first time it was suggested.

(I guess the short version is "we don't have a body. We are bodies").

I found a battered Linux book in a bargain bin at a warehouse store, and that was the end of the story...

These days, there are many more resources than there used to be. You can stick "linux" and just about any task in a search engine -- "linux command line" and the task if you want to find command line apps -- and find good tutorials.

Many will tell you that you don't need to learn the command line to use Linux any more, and they're right. You do need to learn it to be really good at Linux, though. It's not as scary as you may think! Type "man foo" to find out what the command "foo" does and how to use it. Pretty much everything has a man page. :)

The command line can be easier to learn that GUIs in a lot of ways, because telling people what commands to use is so much more straightforward than trying to explain what the icon they need looks like or where the right button is. Also, there's a Stack Exchange site dedicated solely to questions about Linux and Unix at http://unix.stackexchange.com/ I like it better than the Ubuntu one - http://askubuntu.com/ - personally, because the unix/linux site has more of a "here are the standard tools, and how and why they work" tone, while the ubuntu site's tone is more like "here is how to accomplish that task without having to learn more about the system than you absolutely have to". Both will get your task done, but the former will challenge you to learn more.

Edit: I almost forgot to add -- grab an IRC client (Xchat is good for beginners) and start chatting on the freenode.net IRC network. Many (if not most) big Linux-related projects have channels here, so there are many opportunities to get help with a problem, or just watch and learn. :)
Yea and to think about it, it can be expanded to other stuff as well. Not just restaurants. Imagine this:

1. I am located at LA, have a friend at New York who has something that he needs to give me.

2. A person named Adam is on his way back to New York to LA.

3. Why not let Adam take that something from my friend in New York and bring it back to LA with him?

4. Waiting/paying for USPS, UPS, Fedex, is too long and costly. This is better

About 25% of red meat exports from New Zealand are halal, and almost every slaughterhouse is capable of halal slaughter.

It's actually not particularly difficult to do halal slaughter, the two main requirements are that it is killed with a cut to the throat (common in non-halal slaughter) by a Muslim.

You axe it if you can use the same resources (people, capital, time) to produce something with a higher absolute margin (or better, future cash stream, which is the real measure of value for a company). So you don't axe it but keep the costs in, idle. You could even discontinue the product, restructure the company to fit, and give back the cash to shareholders if the contribution that product was giving is less that they can make elsewhere (on a risk adjested basis). At least in theory... in practice cutting the costs to fit is very difficult...
No one should be held responsible for accessing something that is public.

If a person puts a personal event in a calendar and leaves the event as public, it's their fault, not mine if I access it.

If I leave the door of my house open, and someone enters and steals my tv, it's my fault.

So, unless these four people hacked the calendars, i.e. systematically searched for and found weaknesses in the software, exploited them to get access to private calendars, they are not guilty of anything.

It's obvious that Google is really scared of unionizing and their moves were done to scare the shit out of the rest of the employees.

EDIT:

Yes, stealing another person's belongings is theft (morally and legally wrong). The 'it's my fault' part goes to the act of getting access to something: if I leave my door open and someone walks in, it's my fault. If they steal my TV, it's their fault as well, but this does not erase my fault of leaving the door open.

Only slightly serious: You could generate a looping GIF of the two images with Imagemagick and let your eyes do the "hard" work of detecting any movement.
Nope, it's very difficult to get fired from Microsoft unless you try really hard. Answering emails and doing minimum amount of coding (1 hour/day) is enough in most groups to get average reviews.
I'm taking a literal view of the word average. Anyone motivated to write a pamphlet is by definition no longer the average person, unless almost everyone else is doing so - i don't think we need 50% of the population writing pamphlets to maintain a free society.

As to your understanding of my second point: Exactly. I am saying it's okay for only experts to be informing the public, as long as there is no barrier to anyone becoming an expert. The only way to ensure there is no barrier to anyone becoming an expert is to have no special protected status. The only way to have no special protected status is for the protected status to be extended to everyone.

In summary: Everyone should have the protection of the freedom of the press, therefore, anyone can become an expert with all the attendant protections (without having to be special), but it's okay if not everyone is an expert, as long as anyone COULD be an expert.
Canonical has some decent kernel developers, just... not enough, especially for their install base and the amount of work they do.
Totally tangential question--in American English the transliteration is "mawashi-geri". Does V sound as W in Russian?

How large was your test video? 20 minutes to encode a 1 minute video feels like a really long time.

My only experience with video encoding is place-shifting DVDs to my PSP. On my home box it's usually about a 1:1 ratio for this task. I'm guessing you've got a source with a really high bit-rate that's making the encoding take so long?
Google wants more people to use that Internet more often. That's it. The more users (web, mobile, tv, whatever) the more money they make (in the big picture).

If they can help the carriers get more people using smart phones, they are happy. The android vs. iPhone stuff is just the small battle. The war is Internet use vs. Anything else (jogging? Sex? Swimming? And other activities google can't target with ads)

Reoffense tends to be measure a number of years once released (such as 5 years) and not over a lifetime (because in that case the length of a prison sentence would matter).

Part of it has to do with why crimes are committed. Most sex offenders and murders are not serial rapists/killers, and as such only offend in very specific situations (such as killing a wife who was caught cheating). These situations are likely to not happen again. Compare this to other crimes which are more related to crimes of need. Joining a gang for the protection it offers (even if it doesn't actually offer protection, the individuals think it does) is not a situation that goes away. If anything during prison they become closer to the gang as they group up within prison to survive. Someone who was addicted to drugs is really likely to relapse into their addiction. Most individuals selling drugs have even less legal opportunities to earn money once they get out than before. And this isn't even getting into the class aspect of things. It isn't something that is really captured in a single paper but rather a larger topic.
The Supreme Court was careful not to rule on that; they ruled only that it was a search, not that it was constitutionally unreasonable. There is good coverage of this decision by Orin Kerr at http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015... .
Reading your comment is a huge inspiration to me. Do you plan to do any writeups/blog posts of your experience. I love to hear stories from successful bootstrapped companies.

Note that he's not arguing against the use of helmets.

Individuals alone do not produce economic output.

They always rely on people all around them who engage with them, the people who came before them that built up the pool they're swimming in, the people all around them who maintain the pool today...

That doesn't diminish any individual's own effort; but to ignore the world around any successful person, when talking about their success, is a little nonsensical.
If the meetings are worth my time, they wouldn't need to be made mandatory. I'll happily show up to relevant useful, worthwhile meetings.

Making a meeting mandatory is a big red flag that the meeting is a waste of time.

Mmm, I think you may be confusing perception vs. reality. As much as we'd like to think the two are inseparably joined and it's impossible to fake being genuine (or vice versa, impossible for a really genuine thing to be perceived as inauthentic), I don't think the facts support that idea.
I recently moved there, too. What I did was go to social meetups (meetup.com) every evening for two weeks until I clicked with someone. That person hangs out a lot with a co-worker, with whom I also clicked. And we all happened to live within a few blocks of each other (gotta love NYC for that). Now we're three best bros and all go out at least twice a week.

Also I slammed OkCupid and Tinder for dates. I think I went on 15 first dates my first month here--some back-to-back on the weekend. Beware though: hitting the dating scene hard is superficial social interaction until you start seeing the same person repeatedly.
Brilliant, thank you! I'll try this :)
This is the correct response to this meme. The hacks are far too damaging to be viral marketing.

That said, there can be no denying that Sony turned lemons into lemonade, and milked this attack for all the awareness it could possibly get.

I saw "MPAA cyberterrorism experts" on CNN, I saw CNN commentators say that in the interest of free speech, it was every American's patriotic duty to see this film.

This was happening in the context of Project Goliath, and threatened legal action against twitter and individual users for posting the leaks.

This is so important, but unfortunately almost everyone will need a crisis to understand. We are raised to be “something”, “make a living”. When we introduce ourselves, the profession is right there with the name. Of course, we dedicate the majority of our awake time to work, but work is *usually not* what one is proud of at the very end.

To many people, work represents the majority of their identity. After dealing with so many unemployed/retired people you can really grasp the extent of their distress caused by this.

My father retired years ago, but kept working as freelancer. He says he learned from his father that if/when he stops working, he’ll die sooner. This is so sad.
As a former international student wish someone gave me this advice before coming to the U.S.
> After reddit started banning people for upvoting the wrong things

As a daily reddit user, I wasn't aware of this:

"Users who consistently upvote policy-breaking content within quarantined communities will receive automated warnings, followed by further consequences like a temporary or permanent suspension. We hope this will encourage healthier behavior across these communities."

> Make sure your online identity isn't connected to your real name.

Yeah, well, my userid here, on reddit, twitter, twitch, github.....is my last name, so I guess I'm stuck. (:
The fact that it is both is precisely what is meant by "implicit privilege." The behavior of toxic men is considered "regular" enough that preventing it isn't considered worth the effort given the cost of "losing" those men or having to deal with a counter-lawsuit.

If instead this man had a habit of dumping Koolaid over his co-workers every time they shipped a bug, let's say, he'd be fired right away. Because dumping Koolaid on people is considered "not okay." Hitting on women is considered "okay."

It's not the corporation that considers these things okay or not - the corporation needs to maximize its financial interests and nothing more really. Society at large decides what's okay, and the corporation mostly lets those rules stand.

Yes, there are cases where a corporation can play at the margins - for example, when corporations make a public statement about not doing business in states that pass illiberal laws. The calculation here is that their consumer base at large will reward their stance, or they have a monopoly position that makes this stance low-risk, even if they lose something in the short-term or get bad press from one end of the political spectrum.

This is why we end up with laws that regular corporate behavior, like for example civil rights legislation that prohibits companies from discriminating by race. These laws passed at a time when such behavior was still considered largely "okay" in society, and the laws helped to reduce the spaces in which the okayness could sustain itself. It changed the Overton Window on this behavior you could say.
I love how quickly you went from publicly denouncing Tailwind to panicking that you would be left behind and jumping on the bandwagon. I'm imagining this psychological drama playing out within the gap between two spoken sentences to your friend and it's hilarious.
