I'll take a Vizio TV with halfassed "smart" features I can leave unplugged from the network, but I have less trust in a Google or Roku branded TV where the smart features are front and center. A company that makes money from electronics and not data is less likely to force itself online.
I've got to say, as a Simple customer since 2013, I'm not really surprised by this. BBVA has steadily gutted what made Simple a great service, and in the last 12 months it became extremely apparent that this service was no longer a priority for them. Between bizarre UI updates, and a huge degradation in customer service quality, I saw the writing on the wall. See ya Simple, it was nice while it lasted.
Hey! They used it on The X-Files. I've got proof. (Joke)
I have a Philips TV that came with Google TV installed (or Android TV not sure if they're different) but it's horrible. Crashes all the time for no reason, at some point it got an update and half the functionality just vanished into thin air. I will NEVER buy another Google powered TV, heck I might never even buy another smart TV (unless Apple releases one, because my Apple TV 4k and HD before that have been flawless for my needs!)
I don't think it's cowardly for them to do exactly the most logical thing for a corporation to do. If you're looking to LLCs to provide inspiration for good/moral/brave actions, I hate to break this to you, but they only provide inspiration for how to make money.
Yes, I know that, but how is it relevant?

Your question was to the audience here.
Yes, they could just check if fast.com was resolved recently.
Wouldn't corporate tax also be another moat to prevent other businesses from reaching Amazon's scale?

And isn't Bezos trying to rub shoulders with politicians?
This will really blow your mind - I have three. And they all three have uses.

I also have two windows and three linux boxes. I guess I'm a windows and linux defender too? :p
> but it overlooks the ability of corporations to game the system via one or two self-interested jurisdictions.

This is a feature of the market system and not a bug.

> Some jurisdictions don't provide much in the way of public goods (small island states) or see an opportunity to raise some modest taxes on money they would otherwise never see (eg the Netherlands).

Again, this is a feature and not a bug.

> So you end up with the (individual) taxpayers of some countries subsidising these corporations, other countries profiting modestly and the corporations keeping most of the tax money.

I do not understand the use of the word "subsidy" here. Corporations are keeping the money they have earned themselves is not a subsidy. Not to mention all the money that corporations earn eventually belongs to the individuals who receive them in the form of dividends or capital gains.

> A rational country in the this market would set taxes to balance out the public goods provided.

There is zero restraint on what is a "public good". Governments like to take over everything and control everything. Without corporations being able to influence policy and be able to move their money abroad we would end up in pretty bad state like California where you spend billions of dollars on a high speed train that goes from nowhere to nowhere and will never really complete to transport anything useful.

I am not sure why leaving more money in hands of people like Joe Biden or Donald Trump should be seen as anything but pure evil at this point.
I am asking about practice, not theory.

Banned twitter users are all free to type out what they would have tweeted, while twitter exercises its right not to listen to, and subsequently distribute it. A more apt analogy is that the person is using someone else's public address system to speak to a lot of people efficiently. Third parties may just keep their head down and ignore it, but the owner of the public address system can and should have standards of what their willing to amplify. The owner is also not restricting the speech of a person he refuses to amplify.
Is it not weird that Google Ventures also invested in Sidecar? Isn't that a conflict of interest?

I'm not sure what your point is, but you're a bit disingenuous. The OP said a 200% increase over the last 30 years (he never talked about the last ten). The data in the document stops in 2011, but it is well over 200% (in particular there is quite a jump around 2004). If we assume that prices did not go down in the last 10 years (likely) his statement is still true.
I mean, it's a nice speech but it's not surfacing any new thinking or ideas.

SBC's argument is self-contradictory. On the one hand, he paints tech companies as greedy, untrustworthy, and arguably evil. At the same time, he feels that these companies should be trusted to regulate speech to a degree beyond what they already are doing. (In his example, through regulatory force telling them to do so.)

In general, he wants the end (no "bad" speech) but doesn't provide a clear picture of the means to get there. This is common.

The argument against companies regulating more speech is that people who are not Nazis will be caught in the crossfire, and that will lead to unintended consequences. In his speech, SBC admits as much, citing Twitter's claim that algorithmic regulation of speech would result in de-platforming politicians. SBC claims that this may not be a bad thing. This illustrates the problem: SBC like many others are perfectly fine with people being de-platformed not just for true hate speech, but for speech they disagree with, because it is algorithmically similar to hate speech. This is the crux of the issue, and it's at least good for someone to admit it: typically proponents of centralized speech regulation pretend like the issue of false positives doesn't exist. Such false positives will result in law-abiding citizens being de-platformed, and that is unacceptable to many.

To whatever degree that strategy is taken, you can bet your money on these companies losing their power to decentralized platforms. If it's no longer possible to post on social media without a reasonable risk that your words will get nuked because of being mis-flagged (and your reputation unjustly soiled) -- people will move elsewhere. The irony will be that the net effect will be way worse than today: completely unmoderated, unregulated speech with global reach. (this is probably inevitable for a variety of reasons, but this current dynamic probably accelerates it.)

edit: appreciate the downvotes, feel free to check back here in 10 years when facebook + twitter are no longer serious platforms because they're policed by over-zealous, government-mandated moderators, and anyone posting anything interesting is on a decentralized platform or some new centralized platform which has yet to be put under public scrutiny.
Thank you for providing a summary of this, and suggesting that the whole video should be watched before commenting. I attempted to produce a similar summary when posting the video, but I wasn't able to create one as succinct and eloquent as this one.
Everyone thought water would be more abundant in the solar system than it really is.
First of all, a unibody construction doesn't mean that the complete bed is part of the body, there could be parts on top of a foundation which can be easily removed. Also, steel means, it better repairable than any other car material. You can reasonably easy cut out parts and weld in new sheets. That most of the surfaces of the truck are flat makes this even easier.
They're not (all) useless.

There are a lot of Steam reviews complaining about the lack of a "neutral thumb". In this perspective, a more usable Steam system would have three evaluations, which would be a gross equivalent of 1-, 3- and 5- star Amazon ratings. I agree with the judgment, in fact, several times, positive or negative is pretty much a coin toss.

In other words, at least the 3-stars rating has a use.
> Last I checked, unless vegans are supplementing their diets with multivitamins, they lack all the necessary nutrients needed to survive.

Plenty of us have been surviving for many generations (in Asia). The numbers are reducing today not due to nutritional reasons, but social .. peer pressure, travelling to the West etc.
Looks cool, but it's not clear to me how it's better than just browsing Netflix. I clicked on "comedies" and Black Mirror came up, which is not quite what I had in mind...along with Postcards from Buster, which is a children's show.

My field of interest is Machine Learning and Data Science for which, I have a strong theoretical background and projects to back up my practical experience. In particular, I have worked on different CNN architectures in text and image analysis. (Python-Tensorflow) and associated libraries is my preferred tool set for ML and Data Science. I have experience working in teams with people of varied expertise in different domains and hence, I have learnt how to communicate effectively with different groups and present my ideas accordingly. Currently looking for opportunities in the corporate sector to bring applicable ML solutions into production.
With non-maskable hardware interrupts?
I live in a country where cheating is rampant (although it has gotten a little better in recent years). Most of the best students (in terms of grades) at my university were outright cheaters, or employed other indirect means of academic dishonesty. Most blamed the teachers for making the courses "unpassable".

You know what, no course is "unpassable". Its just something people make up to justify their incompetence and laziness. Yes, some educators are pretty bad, while others just don't care enough to stop this. But no matter what the teachers and authorities try, you cannot stop a reasonably adept cheater from using some way of gaming the system. People who are not interested in learning will cheat no matter what.

Trying to lay the blame on the education system and the students is like a drug dealer saying he is not to blame but the addicts are. By providing this service, people like him are making the cheating option easier for students.

I just seem to get the vibe that he is just frustrated that his novel got rejected by his university. This, compounded by financial (and perhaps academic and social?) problems, possibly results in him being bitter about university and the education system as a whole. He has every right to have whatever opinions he has. But IMHO he is no rebel working to dismantle a corrupt system. He's just a bitter writer exploiting and fueling the immorality of some people to make a buck.

(Disclaimer: I am not an educator (I work as a software engineer) and I don't even have any post-graduate degree. I just don't like people who go about buying and cheating their way through life while the rest of do it the hard way.)

Edward Tufte owns all of these documents and is now selling them? There are $40k and $80k Picasso drawings in here, how rich is Tufte to procure such a large collection of documents and drawings?

Edit: Hmm some googling turned this up http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0... I still don't quite get why he is selling everything. Its so he has room to make a gallery?
> it is generally acknowledged he did not have much choice.

Why didn't he have a choice ?
> But I can't run it without the other founder, there's too much work.

Is it really too much work? Have you tried to do all the work yourself? I bet you'll figure out a way to get it done with or without the other founder (if you're passionate enough). Maybe it's a matter of cutting out features, but maybe those features weren't so important to begin with. Constraints drive innovation.

I say go for it. Worst case scenario - it doesn't work, you call it quits, you snag the valley job.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm graduating in December (enterprise systems engineering), and I'm in a similar situation. I tossed around the idea of working on my own projects vs getting a "real" job. To make my choice easier, I applied to and interviewed at exactly zero companies. I decided to take 6-9 months to see what I can do. I told myself it's now or never. To make things more interesting, I will certainly be broke by January, I have no investors, and I barely have an MVP. Also, I just started learning how to program within the past few months, and I am a single founder. Talk about constraints! =]
Apparently at the end of the war the Russians captured Lorenz cypher machines and continued to use copies of these with minor modifications subsequently. Probably any Nazis with knowledge of those machines would have had not too much difficulty finding gainful employment in the US in the post-war period as the cold war intensified.
Okay, I see the point. It is quite obvious with the pants - "pants keep me warm and protect from poison ivy, therefore they are good for me". With food, not so obvious. "Chips and pizza with coke are tasty and make me happy, therefore they are good for me". Doesn't work the same way. In fact, I can't easily think of any artificial food that is definitely good for humans.
That's interesting to test with Lynx, so that's comparable to what a screen reader would see?
Wow. I just lost a whole lot of respect for Canonical. “If you read the document we expect nobody to read, you’d know that you sold your soul to us. We didn’t mean for you to find that out but one of our salespeople got overeager and tried to sell you your soul back. He will be reprimanded. Can we all forget about this real quick?”
I was singled out once for carrying two laptops. I answered the same two or three questions over and over.

They had trouble understanding my work allows no personal use of laptops so if I wanted one for development or gaming I had to carry two.

I guess they thought asking the same questions repeatedly would be stressful. They haven't met my wife. :eyewaggle:
These are interesting. Some related things that came into mind are e.g. prices that end in 9 might increase sales (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1023%2FA%3A1023581927405). Or a waiter bringing mints when they give diners their checks increases tips significantly (http://www.helpscout.net/blog/the-psychology-of-personalizat...).
Twisted is one, and it's there partly because a lot of code relies upon it, not because I like it. I also use a few niche libraries which haven't been bumped and there's a few libraries like mechanize too - not so niche yet still not bumped.

Honestly, if there were some big incentive at this point I would go through the hassle of upgrading, but there isn't. The gains on python 3 seem relatively minor and incremental.
I dunno, I prefer going through a basic list / hello world tutorial first, and then experimenting.
Thanks for your insight Mr. GreggMan, I figured the hostess title meant that they were not doing seedy thing. I wanted to point out the addictive property of going to work for a high pay job that was only good for a period of time and having the ability to get away from that job.

I wondered about the seediness level and your comment helped explain it better.
I can't see why - the sales clerks at brick and mortar stores do the same thing. Like, if I went to a bike shop they would make off-handed remarks about someone buying a certain style helmet recently or perhaps emphasize the DOT rating (instead of the lacking Snell). Seems natural.
Yes, I can answer all those, matter of fact some of the problems are well known and people complain about them all the time. I just need to prove that my non-proprietary solution is best and viable

What a remarkable testament to the power of automaker advertising that something as banal as riding a bike gets people so upset.
To get a rough comparison in context, a co-housing development in a suburban area (a mix of three-story flats, townhomes, and a common house) ranges from 9-44 households (so 50-80 peopl) over 2-4 acres arranged in a more cul-de-sac feel (buildings/etc center around a common walking area). So, my first take on this is like having ~10 cohousing communities + some businesses

From another article: https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/tempe/2019/11/19/... :

"which will be on 16 acres near Apache Boulevard and River Road" ...okay, so roughly in line with what I was thinking, though even more dense. https://goo.gl/maps/yDu9Zt96GKAi4KfR8 is the location. Judging from the satellite view it looks like it'll be spread across the four areas around that block (with some of the old existing structures getting torn down). If you've never visited Tempe, there's been a lot of recent new downtown development ~3 miles west of this location.

"The project falls within one of Tempe's opportunity zones, which could allow investors to take advantage of federal tax breaks." ...Interesting, the deadline for these projects (i.e. for investors to fund them and get a capital gains deduction) to get funding into a QOF-registered LLC working in a Qualified Opportunity Zone is 12-31-2019 from my understanding, so that's why it's happening now.

"An apartment development with no parking for its expected 1,000 residents..." This is where I'm a bit questioning on whether this will really be a place one wants to live in over the long run. It seems like solely a large distributed apartment complex rather than a community/neighborhood with stakeholdership.
But here is the thing, if I have a site to validate my idea,what stops someone with more resources from knocking me off before I get funding? Execution speed is important, but I can validate by asking potential customers and doing some leg work, I thought that was not enough for funding and loans
>Apple is not tracking the location of your iPhone. Apple has never done so and has no plans to ever do so.

Alright...

>Apple is now collecting anonymous traffic data to build a crowd-sourced traffic database with the goal of providing iPhone users an improved traffic service in the next couple of years.

...... The collection of anonymous traffic data involves tracking your location to determine what road you're on and what speed you're going. They can't even get their story straight.
This looks awesome and very useful. How do you envision the use case for Holmes to be? Would I always include it in my site, and just switch on the 'holmes-debug' class when testing? Or would I only include the .css file during development?
this is the first release, next version on the works already will have more social features embedded. Would appreciate the HN community feedback! :)
I like the first comment on the post:

"Hope it come back quickly"

And ultimately that's what people care about, that information most of them already share it via Facebook for FREE, funny thing, is that we already get spam deliver to our homes in shape of publicity.

About the credit cards, these days most credit card issuers have pretty good security so they'll let you know and block your credit card if people used it in a weird way and believe me, I was a "victim" a couple of times already and it works very well.

I join the 1st commenter. I wont be changing my credit cards because of this and I just care about playing my online games again... really I already got bored of Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy offline ;-).
i can relate to this comment, I have been programming for only a few years but seem to get constantly frustrated with where I currently am compared to where I want to be.
Like running sshd on another port (to stay on topic), it doesn't make the service more secure against someone who knows it's there, but it makes it less visible to automated scripts probing the standard location for known bugs.
How about the Russians? It can get pretty hot in the south in summer there, but everyone is just depicting Russia in winter.

Another funny thing is that part of European countries that's closer to Switzerland tends to be richer. E.g. the north of Italy, and the south of Britain and Germany. (It doesn't work for Belgium, though.)
It was a joke, and implied nothing of the sort. Interesting that this was your response.
Probably, but I'm still not convinced that blogs overall have trended toward lengthier titles. I'm more willing to hypothesize that writers over the past few years consider the variables in context for their writing.

What may make sense as a package deal on a single page may look nonsensical in a Google search or a twitter post.

Longer titles may simply be an occasional consequence of this.
It is for the first domain registered- each domain after is $15. This $5 first domain price is good through the rest of the year.
I get it. He named the company this way so magazines could write titles like this.

You mean you have been getting up at quarter to four? That's impressive. When do you go to bed?

I find that I need so much sleep, that getting up at four would require me to go to bed at 18.00 or so.
The limit of this thesis is that I think a great majority of human beings are looking for security more than for a job.

I'm not sure the "be your own boss" scheme is what everybody's looking for.

I however agree with the author that the West will not collapse if, we've seen worst in the past (well at least in Europe we have).

Claiming on the packaging that the product is 'renewed', without mention the size reduction, seems pretty much deception?
Clear strawman fallacy here. I did not say 'forbid'. I said that it should be made clear that the images are doctored.

Besides, there is a big difference between make-up, that anyone could theoretically apply to look like someone in real-life and what people use photoshop for in the images we are talking about.
