Don't be naive, most of them are escorts looking for affluent customers which would get Instagram into hot water wrt SESTA/FOSTA once they are notified about it. Instagram is doing the right thing; moreover, Instagram/Snapchat is facilitating tax avoidance from "premium services" so there must be pressure coming from IRS as well; it's better for Instagram to ban those "models" than to rat them out to IRS and get bad rep.
Yes, but "framing a stranger" implies some intent.
Thanks, I was not aware of this document. However, its wikipedia page mentions that it was not widely believed at the time. Heck, even Auschwitz Protocols after it did not seem to have much success in reaching the audience (western world) for quite a while.
I think this has more to do with inherent superiority of the consumer defence laws.

BTW ads are an almost unmitigated nuisance: when France banned ads after 8PM on its public channels, their audience numbers soared (so the project which was an obvious gift from Sarkozy to his media mogul friends, badly backfired).
What with all the talk about bot abuse in this thread, an API may not be a good idea
Yeah naturally it's not unlimited, there's no such thing, it's always a marketing gimmick with fine print when a service provider uses that. You're going to hit a limit one way or another.

T-Mobile as an example, has a four line plan at $35 per line avg, with "unlimited" data, with this note:

"During congestion, the small fraction of customers using >50GB/mo. may notice reduced speeds."

I've never used T-Mobile, so I don't know what kind of wall you realistically hit with them at that point.

What I've seen in the US over the last few years is that people seem to have shifted heavily away from the old expensive cable & DirecTV plans and moved some of that expenditure over to streaming services (cheaper) and more expensive higher limit mobile data plans. Which makes sense given what consumers are most often using these days.

if there is new better crypto with some guarantees of value - all BTC folks will sell at the top and jump ship. For example imagine European central bank creates its own "green" reserve crypto mined only with green energy and guarantees free circulation and acceptance in eurozone.

Embrace-Extend-Extinguish framework can be applied to BTC to kill it with a better alternative, and the higher price for BTC is the stronger incentives to sell at the peak and move elsewhere to more stable place
I commented to respond to this and deleted it, since I realized I was making some wrong assumptions. If you saw it, please disregard it.

I'm still not convinced the change doesn't require a hardfork, which would involve switching chains, right? I feel like the possibility of hard forks being necessary hurts bitcoin as a "gold replacement"
“We are experiencing record-breaking electric demand due to the extreme cold temperatures that have gripped Texas," Bill Magness, ERCOT President and CEO, said in a press release on Sunday. "At the same time, we are dealing with higher-than-normal generation outages due to frozen wind turbines and limited natural gas supplies available to generating units. We are asking Texans to take some simple, safe steps to lower their energy use during this time."
Unity does also support C extensions... But due to cross platform mess it is not so popular (i guess).

> double the amount of sprites

It sounds a bit low?
My experience is that with instancing and 2d array textures (2d games usally uses spritesheets) can be much much faster then 2x. I would guess 20x-200x faster than unity.
It does not mean that EU can or wants to do it.

I have never applied at Google so I don't know what they are looking for exactly, however I read "Linux Kernel Development" by Robert Love a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. It might be the best technical book I have ever read now that I think about it.

>Ask me anything you like, I'll try to answer every question.

What's stopping you from hosting at home?

While I admit that I often feel claustrophobic with only ~35-40 Mbps of usable bandwidth, my power costs for several orders of magnitude more usable storage+cpu are in line with what you're paying for VPS right now.

Do you run any additional layers of security of top of NextCloud? From something simple like requiring SNI to ward off casual scanning activity, or more advanced like a WAF layer?

I ask because I've been hesitant to trust my whole digital life to something that doesn't have a full-time paid security staff.

John Gruber might be technically brilliant but to be politically informed is a whole different matter. His pieces on those issues over the last few months "reek of" nativity, to use his own last sentence. Sure, everybody is entitled to their opinions but I'm not sure if it makes sense for him to be so loud and self-assured on these things before actually getting a solid grasp of them.

His argument that Taiwanese flag has been OK to the Chinese regime because it's similar to the Hongkongnese flag is just plainly nonsense, if one has the least bit of awareness of Chinese news. Sure, HK and Macau have their own flags, but it is based on the understanding that ultimately they're "part of China". The Taiwanese use of their flag intends to signify that they are a completely independent political entity. You cannot simply claim they're the same thing.

In fact, there have been countless incidents of international brands subject to the wrath of Chinese consumers (not really the regime) just because their wording/map etc. might be interpreted as supporting Taiwan independence. I'm not saying it is good for the populace to be this sensitive and nationalistic, but it is just the fact at this moment. I'm sure that when Apple decided to remove the flag, it's more of a "careful not to have any reason to be subject to a potential boycott" decision, i.e. a commercial one, which is natural to all profit-driven companies.
I did not read full post but the introduction kind of surprised me. The example of "object oriented style" the author gives is artificially inflated to look ridiculously verbose. Modern languages with OOP and anonymous functions capabilities and some library help can make code the same or even less verbose representation than the declarative example mentioned.

Those are commands for your PW, not for sub-station. Like I said, I tried them, and nothing happened. The author is an alarmist and the only valid point he had in the entire article was default password instead of assigning unique one, which is easily to re-configure. Also the last one I suspect might damage your PW ugly enough if you're in US, but I am in EU where I already have 240V, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not particularly relevant here; the for-in loop here was operating on the `env` object, which holds all the keys directly. The prototype access was via the expression `options.env`, not the for loop.
> It doesn't need to have every cname in it. The cname resolves to the actual "bad" domain, which should be in your list already.

That doesn't help if dnsmasq only checks the incoming request against the list, and not the whole cname chain of the result.
I don't see the business plan there. $1 a night won't pay the rent. Not even the costs that an owner has to pay. Looks like a stunt for something else.
Not in the sense that cell phones are. If you're MS or Sony, you sell your consoles at cost or for a slight loss, then recoup costs on software sales. By definition, the consoles are loss leaders.
> Many, people have in fact stated that my website helped them. So it seems you are provably wrong.

Again with that very loose logic. I did not state your website helped no one. So the fact that it helped one or more people does not prove I was wrong.

I do believe it does far more harm than good. If your idea is that there as so many people writing code that can't possibly understand Goldberg AND also it "would be an idiotic waste of time" to summarize a real paper because it was "too long and complex" your target audience sounds like you are calling your target audience pretty unprofessional.

So I'll agree that if your target audience has an attention span of a gnat and can't understand basics about computer science, they might like your website with navigation panel. And they should NEVER EVER write numeric code.

Had no idea about this, thanks
The last time a package was delayed, I couldn't even find the button to complain. I looked for a few minutes and then just canceled Prime instead.

There was about a 50% success rate and since their other services are garbage, too, I don't see why paying a yearly fee is worth it. The Amazon Prime Video apps have a 100-300ms audio delay on all my platforms (Android, TV, Chromecast). Unacceptable.
That's exactly what we were trying to do! Since the system is positive pressure, the "snorkel" can be as long as you like. It can even leak a little bit, with no ill effect to the wearer (since the air will puff out).
The site is a collection from various authors, I'm one of them :)
I wore that one just to take the picture. I wore the test article one for 10 hours including a 4 hour nap. I don't have air conditioning in my home.
I have actually written a tool to help organisations understand their own digital exposure/privacy. It is very much an MVP but check it out, it should help you with some of your concerns - https://www.privacytrail.com

I think DDR0 makes a strong point, a determined malicious actor will always find a domain you haven't considered so defensively registering dozens of domains is usually only an action taken by large banks or significant brands. Unless you are likely to be impersonated or have a duty of care similar to that of a bank then a single/small number of domains is probably sufficient, especially for a startup. Buying additional domains can be done as you get larger and the threat of impersonation increases.

However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't monitor domain purchases that are similar to your own. Blacklisting domains that you believe have been purchased for nefarious goals can prevent your own employees from being duped in convincing phishing attacks and it is always good to occasionally remind customers/third parties of the domains you operate from.

Anyway, I could waffle about this for ages - there is more info on the above link and you can try your own domain out!

Those were at least legally questionable. Remember thefappening? They defended what was at least copyright infringement as free speech. It turned out some of the girls were underage when the pics were taken, so they facilitated distribution of CP.

> Apple prioritise the user at the expense of the developer. I think this is the right balance.

This assumes the user does no development, which is becoming less and less true over time. Computers are tools, people use them for stuff, and as the generations that didn't grow up with them die off, the ones that did are actually using them for more than just cat videos.

Also, nerfing the development experience means LESS development, which means less software and fewer bug fixes, which means a worse user experience. Gotta bootstrap starting from the boots.
For me it’s google maps, it has gotten so freaking slow both on mobile and on desktop. Actually google docs and sheet are the same.
The 1.5 minute default load time is also ridiculous.
I assume most people here have various internet 'water-coolers' that they hang out on. I'm slightly bemused as to why this is apparently HN discussion fodder.
Sam will win this bet. A macro collapse I think is more likely due before 2018, with plenty of time to recover. The only proposition he might lose is the first one, because all of those companies except possibly Palantir may fall victim to "trend cycles" (e.g. "nobody uses myspace anymore")... Although Snapchat, the likeliest victim of trend cycles, is not in his analysis.
Loads of code means someone put lots of money into it, same as when loads of concrete is poured. It says nothing of the benefit of the program/structure that has been built.

I don't want to dub any specific piece of software the Three Gorges Dam of code. But it surely is out there.
Narrative has always been a noun; this is not a new usage by any means, although the word has arguably become more fashionable in recent years.
To say Slack is killing IRC may be going a bit far, but if I were to setup an open chat system today for a project or group, I would certainly use Slack in instances where IRC would have made more sense in the past.

The cited example of WordPress is a good one. For contributors or newcomers, IRC has issues -- especially when it comes to engaging with a channel on mobile devices (lack of push for IRC without a separate relay for that exact purpose is definitely a problem).

My only problem is that I use Slack for work/a few personal groups and HipChat for a few other things. I wish I could somehow fuse the two together for one interface. But hey, I'd rather have 2 apps than deal with IRC all the damn time.
Ahh my apologies then :)
I think the writer sums it up well: " That's all to say, it depicts a dystopian world, but the whole concept also can't help but come across as some kind of meta wormhole, like a microcosm of capitalism trying to devour itself. A smaller fast-food giant is knocking a bigger goliath for creating a fantastical totalitarian communist state, wherein the greatest strain on individual freedom is uninspired food, and the most dire physical threat to would-be defectors is whatever horror befalls a person who gets hit by a confetti bomb, or jumps into a grimy ball pit. (Though, in fairness, it's always been hard not to wonder what's lurking in the bottoms of those things—they're too colorful to trust.)"

If they're using an ISP for anything, yes. That's the Internet.
AOT can't take into consideration runtime, which might result in less efficient code compilation vs JIT.

So it is apples vs oranges.
One is faster here the other there.

GC might be an issue, but for me IDEA feels fast and the added benefit of code navigation vs e.g. vim is worth it.
Can you spell out why is that fundamentally bad? I'm asking in good faith not to be oppositional, apologies if its a stupid question.
But if you were buying shares in a company it would not matter if most the shares were held by the company (as long as there is enough liquidity to sell your shares in future).
Why is it different with the currency? I get that its making the founders rich so perhaps they have greedy intentions, but why does this inherently undermine the validity of the currency?
Most non profit work in the US is somewhat funded by the US government via grants and crap ... 80% to be exact.
The images were publicly posted. How much more of a consent do we need?

The images are not altered only cropped.

According to this logic when journalists crop a picture of celebrities they should ask for dress designer consent to not include the dress?

Some people like faces some people like feet. Why do we need consent for liking a certain part of picture?
You need:

- physically separated bike lanes wide enough for safe overtaking, with a gap between them and a parking lane that protects cyclists from open car doors and people leaving the car from cyclists

- an actual network of bike paths instead of vanity paths

- redesigned intersections that are safe for cyclists

- bicycle storage infrastructure in apartment blocks (not everyone has a suburban garage)

- bicycle storage infrastructure in office blocks
Great service, great execution. Very clear instructions, I should've made such instructions for the More Like That Bookmarklet, shame on me.
That may be the strategy here - Symbian means the knowledge of building an OS that works for a wide range of models and specially lower end of cellular phones that rest of the world is catching up to.
There is nothing to review apart from a email sign-up box. Build something usable then ask for reviews.
Every other week an article pops up saying that one is somehow better than other and mostly they claim opposing ideas. Obviously the two platforms are competing head to head so can we just move on away from this issue until a real gap between the two is formed?
Yeah; it's a pain, but centos deals with it really well. There are 3rd party repos you can add which specialize in certain software, so you can always have cutting edge lamp stack stuff, for example, updated with yum.

Takes a minor bit of configuration to set up, but once you do it's as transparently beautiful as out-of-the-box yum installing.
It was not my impression, from speaking with the developers, that I was wasting their time by informing them of things they already knew.

Regardless, the purpose of publishing this isn't to grind Diaspora's nose in it. It is to help someone -- profs, students, or (scarily) someone who gets paid for this -- avoid shipping software in this state in the future.
I understand, but this isn't the same case. I mean, a PS3 owner can already enter false data in to all these fields. So what is there to trust that's any more or less trustworthy than that?

Really we're talking about the equivalent of automatic field filling, and the entire internet functions on that (at least in my browser).
For anyone who's interested, I've been working on a static site generator called Bolt (http://usebolt.com/), which is more like a Sinatra clone which outputs static HTML (rather than being aimed at bloggers) giving you a lot of flexibility!
$650k gets you something like measuring of temperature and prescription of Paralen in the US, right?

(I am always amazed how an act or treatment that costs around $20 in Europe costs thousands of dollars in the US and no one seems to mind.)
Treatment and part of my income was insured by public actors (not US). No issue, everything is automatic, didn't had to pay a single thing and it would even be possible to get unlimited free taxi rides from home to hospital, free public transport, wig, sport... even a tax cut. I'm really thankful for this.

Other part of my income was insured by a private company. They lost my files, claimed I didn't fill the forms and after months of fight and involving my employer, they magically found papers I previously sent and paid.

Private companies seek profit and would basically do anything to keep your money. You cannot build a good (fair) insurance company with this logic.
Very nice :)

I only know the old terminals from movies and I'm wondering if this won't kill your back over time. They always had to bend to read their screens. I guess they only needed them occasionally in the beginning.

Maybe add a version that's height adjustable (e.g. with a lamp mount)?
Let's ignore the money pumped by IBM and others.

No, but it is mentioned in the article.
> In Canada, while in general private cover is not illegal, for covered health services, it roughly speaking does not exist and my statement that you "have nowhere else to go" holds.

The key is “covered health services”. E.g. a friend who broke his arm in Israel (which has an NHS like medical system) needed to have it cast; a standard plaster cast was covered, but for an extra $150 or so, he was able to pay and get a super-lightweight composite cast material (which he had to buy at a pharmacy down the road himself, but the doctors at the public hospital happily applied).

This was about 20 years ago - I suspect the ultra lightweight cast is covered by now as well - but there will always be treatments which may make sense for an individual to pay for, but not for the system.

Similarly to the NHS, more money doesn’t buy you better care within the system in Israel; but there is a complementary private system which occasionally can get you better care (and can often get you the same non urgent care faster). The general rule for coverage inclusion in the Israeli system is: if it’s life saving, it is covered. If it’s life extending or quality improving, then a QALYs analysis and budget constraints set the priorities (most proven reasonable cost treatment are indeed covered)
The sample selection / non-response bias highlighted in this write-up is a _Big Idea_ problem I've been thinking about recently:

Limitations...*Trust in surveys and political leanings:*
About 95 percent of people contacted for the panel chose not to participate because of lack of trust in having a third-party application installed on their computer or other concerns for privacy.

Think about that - a reputable, privacy-first organization asked people to opt-in to fully consented, voluntary, compensated research and ~95% declined! I can't even imagine what hidden skews are present in the 5% that agreed. This issue is systemic in consumer research and impacts both public (e.g. election polling, U.S. census) and private (pharmaceutical trials, media/advertising research, voluntary AI/ML training daat) polling.

Governments and businesses make biased, potentially discriminatory decisions if a non-random segment of the population chooses to never be counted. The ad industry attempts to circumvent this through non-voluntary passive tracking, which trades off non-response bias with bulldozing user privacy. The headwinds are only growing too, as consumer awareness of privacy lapses and the politicization of polling continues to reduce who participates in opt-in research.

Finding a solution to this that doesn't resort to privacy-eroding tactics is a moonshot level problem in terms of the size-of-the-prize if solved.
I'm fearing this will end up with a massive debt on their part.
"The number of people who want free speech is vanishingly small. And since criticism of government is indistinguishable from hate speech, it can be reasonable to forbid everything potentially dangerous."
Like what solutions? Have you tried these "solutions"? I live in one of the countries which is special by having its own competitive search engine - and it's truly bad compared to Google. If we're going back to that, I am going out of EU.
I think the real reason is that Greece was more or less forced by the EU to accept austerity and a bad loan it can't possibly repay. The leadup to this was irrelevant.
