The downside being that the duplicate detection is nonexistent - I have a playlist I sync to my phone, and often when I'm listening on "I'm Feeling Lucky" mode at my PC a song will come up that I like and I'll add it to the playlist. As you can imagine, this often leads to multiple versions of the same song taking up valuable space. The same goes for thumbs-up and thumbs-down - it won't apply to all versions of a song. Which is fair enough when they're actually different (live, remastered, remixed or whatever) but when we're talking about the European release, NA release and Japan release of the same album it's often literally exactly the same recording.

Trouble is, I can't come up with a "best of both worlds" fix that allows both (perfectly valid) use cases.

No, my feelings remain completely unchanged. I'm still very much against it. I'm not convinced terrorists are the ultimate, primary target of this surveillance, honestly.

Even if it were, we know this type of mass surveillance has been in use for years now and it seems utterly ineffectual in preventing the kind of incidents they are supposedely meant to prevent.

Also, seeing the exploitative opportunism in some politicans and the media since the Paris attacks in spouting their thinly veiled fascism and demagoguery really pisses me off. It just makes me that much more resistant to any attempts to curtail our civil liberties.

The whole point of terrorism is to change the country it is inflicted upon through fear tactics. This is exactly what is happening by spying on people, censoring websites and introducing police-state like controls on our freedoms.

So you could say that by allowing ourselves to be led down this path we are in essence 'letting the terrorists win'.

Fuck that shit.

Hobbies man. What you lack in childhood friends you can earn through activities pals. At least half of my friends I met them at some activity or hobby. People use to bond when they share a common interest. Take some artisan classes, cooking sessions, art tours, or simply enlist yourself in an amateur sports club. There are also a gazillion of adventure clubs, from hiking to mountaineering to the very extremes, targeted to all ages and physical condition. And even if you’re strictly a geek and you find none of the above attractive you could try joining a pen and paper old fashioned D&D club.

Good points.

> Privacy and encryption is important for democracy, we say, because it's important that people be able to coordinate in order to resist an increasingly totalitarian government.

Also, too much privacy can also support defection rather than coordination. The government may look at this and see something else: that in the arguably much more likely scenario criminals will use encryption to defect against the social order. Enough untraceable trade and then when there's a nuclear or biological attack you may think about reconsidering just how much privacy do you want general population to have.

I don't want to defend or support the surveillance state here, just pointing out that, especially from government's point of view, them turning totalitarian seems much less likely than criminals and terrorists doing their crime and terror things.

Why is every other article playing the anti-privacy game these days? If anything, the discussion in the article should read as pro-privacy. If there is so much value in private information, then further to ethical, there might also be financial motivation to safeguard our data. Even more so in enterprise environments and as the boundaries between personal and business devices are getting blurrier. This is also why I think enterprise will move on to MYOD (make your own device) from BYOD.
C++ still doesn't have (tagged) union types so you'd have to implement Maybe by hand, which is a little tedious. But I don't see anything in this code that requires laziness or the Haskell type system, so you can translate it pretty directly into pretty much any language (though as sibling mentions, in a language without TCO you might have to manually trampoline it - again tedious, and unperformant).

3 Steps to Building a Strong Online Presence Using Influence Marketing
I recently started a similar service and quickly got out of it. Even though I was offering to negotiate deals for free there was lackluster interest. Buying a car from a dealership is painful it seems people still want to do it for the experience, or think they can do better themselves (paying a higher price in the process). I would like to know if these people are licensed brokers or how they will handle that in states that require it. Truecar has a decent system in place (although there are problems too) and I think it's hard to beat the out especially taking fees from both sides with a significant portion on the buyer.
Come to Japan and hang out with me? :-) It's super tough making friends in new cultures and I'm working remotely so I don't meet anyone at work either.

I think the key is that deep friendships take a long time to build. Also, because your personality is already mostly formed, it is hard to meet people that you fit with. When you are very young, it's easy to change yourself to fit the group of people you are with.

My biggest advice is not to rush it. Take every opportunity to spend time with other people, but if you don't "click", don't try to force it. When I first came to Japan I spent a lot of time with people who spoke English. It was something we had in common. In the end it was the only thing we had in common. I had some pretty bad experiences because I tried to hang on to friendships that really weren't good for me or the other person.

As others have mentioned, hobbies are a good way to go. Either find groups to do your hobbies with, or find some new hobbies that will help you meet new people.

One thing I have done in the past year (since I work from home, and often at night) is to wander around my neighbourhood and chat with the retired people where I live. They are lonely too :-).

When people say 'privacy' what they actually mean is 'liberty'.

You can't have liberty without the expectation of privacy. It just doesn't happen.

Liberty is definitely something our ancestors (both yours as an American I'm assuming, and mine as a Brit) have fought and died for and we should absolutely resist any attempts by enemies both foreign and domestic (that includes our politicians) to take it away.

Idris is strict by default and has a stronger type system than Haskell that supports dependent typing and in effect forced the hand of the GHC developers and the wider Haskell community by showing laziness, one of the most unpopular aspects of Haskell, to be completely unnecessary for a modern, purely-functional language.

The strict pragma is a tacit admission that default non-strict evaluation was a mistake, and all of those who defended it here and on proggit for years should come clean and apologize for having done so, especially those who dishonestly tried to pass it off as an optimization while knowing full well that "spaceleaks" are one of the biggest performance concerns with deploying non-trivial Haskell code in production. I wrote off Haskell entirely for that very reason, and I'm not alone in having done so (search HN comments).

In fact, I would wager that if Haskell had not adopted such an unusual evaluation strategy, GHC would have required only a tenth of the manhours that have presently gone into it. Yes, you CS PhDs who secretly wish you were math PhDs wouldn't be able to write toy programs with infinite lists, but that's a small price to pay for lowering the language's skyscraper-steep learning curve and giving it predictable, easily reasoned-about performance characteristics.
I fail to see how privacy/crypto apps helped them. They could've as well used DIY "apps" or alternate channels of communication (which could be encrypted).
A large reason to use Postgres in the first place is because it's a good CP system. Any clustered version is only worthwhile if it preserves consistency.

It's already possible to use more than one Postgres database while not maintaining consistency, but that isn't desirable for most users.

As an expat, it's harder than in a country where you master unspoken social rules. I know this from experience.

I believe your best bet is to meet other people lost in translation, and especially expats. Ideally not all from your native country: often, such circles (people from country X trying to make themselves an enjoyable life in country Y) tend to encourage their members to bitch on country Y, and that's not the path to happiness.

Internet should help you find people. If you have hobbies, it helps having a common ground to build upon.

About kids, lovers and family: it's quite difficult to share a social life between single people, engaged people and people with kids. If the bond preexists a divergence of lifestyles, it can survive, but each of these lifestyles come with hard-to-reconcile constraints.

To the first point, I think this might be controversial... but try to avoid people you work with directly. It seems like it's better at first glance - b/c you interact with them more - but the reality is there are whole layers of professionalism and competing interests between you and them which actually kinda preclude you from building a system of mutual trust.

Maybe "trust" isn't quite the right word, but I'm struggling to find a better one. The difference between an acquaintance and a friend is that you can implicitly know they will help you and that you will help them. This involves being willing to do thing while expecting nothing in return. In a work setting that usually leads to bitterness

A designer must be good at UX (processes) and UI (pure design).

You make them sound like they're mediocre at UI.
What's their level at UX?

I know I'm mediocre at producing (vs evaluating) UI, but I also know I am great at producing UX.

Maybe they just ain't the right professional for your startup right now.

Or maybe they should focus on UX, and you should hire someone else for UI.

Again, maybe they can improve on UI if properly trained. As in a professional training course, more than as in a colleague training them on the job.
Everyone struggles with this at some point, so don't worry.

- People rightfully prefer to be around interesting people. Some people are intrinsically interesting, but everyone can convey "interesting" by being genuinely interested in some aspect of the other person's life. Sometimes this can lead to getting invited to a future event, like an album release party because of a shared DJing interest for example, especially if the interest is niche or rare.

- Pick a friend from work or elsewhere that you'd like to get to know better. Take them out to lunch or coffee. Do the same next week and gradually strengthen your current network. Be sociable, and don't be afraid to have (appropriately) personal conversations or to ask friends for help or advice on something, even if you don't think you need it. They might have excellent advice or know someone who would be able to give you excellent advice.

- Do things on your own. Decide that you're going to a concert|club|museum|movie|<your scene> on Saturday, and during the days leading up to whatever it is you've decided to do, text friends about it. Say something along the lines of, "Hey, we're going to see so and so at such and such. Let me know if you're interested!" If no one can make it, you'll still have fun if you picked the right place, and there's a fair chance at least one person might be able to join.

- Consciously shape positive, confident thinking. Figure out what you like about yourself that you can be confident about! Nothing good can come from beliefs like "I know our friendships will never go past a certain level" and "the 'making friends' phase is over".
> Meet people through work.

yes but not only. It is a dangerous trap to rely on your colleagues for a social life. First they'll always have to be your colleagues, second they're probably the same kind of people as you (where's the diversity), ...

> You have to kinda treat this a bit like dating

Completely agree with that. And as I said in another comment, looking for friends is kind of looking for a girlfriend.

> Couchsurfing

That's actually a good idea, they regularly meet up. I've heard bad things about reddit meet up so I've never tried but why not?

> Become a regular at a bar or a cafe.

I don't really understand this advice but why not. Become part of your neighborhood is maybe what you wanted to say?

> When you go to events with existing friends, make sure you get to know the people they bring along

That's super important. Because you tend to stick with your friends where you have the opportunity of making other good friends as well

> There's a much higher chance of liking a friend-of-a-friend rather than a random stranger.

Same for dating

> Send social signals about the kind of person you are

Odd. I would rather not and listen to what interesting things people have to say. You don't always have an obvious common thing.

> or every night or day you socialise, you probably won't meet anyone interesting about 80% of the time.

A friend of mine used to say (he was talking about girls but it works as well). If you meet a person and she's not the right one, don't discard her, the right one might still be one of her friends.

The idea can be generalized as: people are not always the perfect fit, but you can still hang out with them and meet some cool people in the process.

This has largely been debunked elsewhere -- the fraud is entirely on the poor verification by the banks.

When I got an iPhone supporting Apple Pay, I added two cards to it. One just set up with nothing more than entering the information. The other one triggered a phone call to the issuing bank where I had to jump through multiple verification hoops to convince them I was the cardholder.

Apple can't fix the first bank's security problem, and I don't really expect them to.
