> What's interesting is that while the most representative songs for each band are mostly their own songs, occasionally other bands songs creep in. For example, "Wrathchild", is an Iron Maiden song, not a Diamondhead song.

I don't think it's a problem with the song data. When the algorithm picks a song it considers most lyrically representative of a band, it chooses from all the songs in the dataset, and it doesn't always pick a song by that band.
I've always found that when I read a (fictional) book, I naturally have a mental movie playing in my head, and I cease to see words at all. I become hyper-focused and immersed in the image. If people talk to me while I'm reading (again, only fiction), I don't hear them unless they breach my focus with a louder voice or a tap on the shoulder. It's interesting to read that this can be taught.
I feel like this problem would solve itself if livestock producers were encouraged (read: mandated) to move from factory farming to more traditional ranching. Lower density of livestock, more humane conditions, at least some carbon offset from pastures, etc. Prices might go up, which will likely hurt low-income carnivores, but that'll be the case with the proposed taxation approach, too.

Meh, I used to use C++ about 10 years ago and very much enjoyed it but the lack of multiple, built-in and cross-platform ways of doing things, like networking that higher level languages had I just simply stopped using it. This would give me an excuse to check it out again because, being part of the STL, it would be trivial to include in a project.

If I have a reason to use the language I can learn the build tooling (which last time I used C++ they were very, very old and overly complex IMO; nothing easy like rust's).

If you want to drive adoption of C++ you need to lower friction to using it. This works in every single thing ever created. If you can get more features into the STL that the vast, vast majority of languages have built in and get good tooling you'll have a very easy way for someone to jump into the language.

Alternatively you can continue to keep the friction high and address "language core issues" instead of making the STL have parity with all other popular languages. I think that approach is terrible but only if your goal is to grow the community of developers. But that's just my opinion of someone who loved C++ 10 years ago but had to move to higher level languages just to get stuff done, quickly and efficiently.

It sounds like a case of overly broad permissions. Have they looked at other permissions models?

For one, extensions should be able to include an explanation why they need each permission.

Network access should be a separate permission like it is for iOS keyboards. It's safer for an ad blocker to read and modify a page if it has no method of exfiltrating the content. Blacklist updates can be done through the regular extension update mechanism.

Looking at the list of permissions in the documentation, a lot of these look like they should be asked for at the time of first use (location, clipboard, screenshots, etc). This would avoid the problem of asking for overly broad permissions upfront "just in case". Android had the same problem.

But in the end, not informing the user is the wrong choice, no matter how bullet-proof you think your vetting process is. You'll always have users who are paranoid (as developers of a camera app on iOS, we've had 1-star reviews left because our app "uploads all your photos to the internet" because we need photo library access) and it's their loss mainly, not yours.
One does not need to use the signup in the app at all. I both pay for Spotify, and use the iOS app, but have never paid in the app.

I trusted Spotify enough to sign up directly via their website, but for many apps I do not, and prefer to pay via the app store as I trust Apple.

In my personal opinion, this experience is pro-consumer. I can make an informed choice. Hence I don't take any issue with Apple requiring developers to a) pay a cut for the privilege of using their store, and b) impose publishing requirements to maintain the standard of apps.

I'm not sure about the monopoly accusation, but Luxottica's influence extends far beyond the US, and is not just retail. The company owns over 7000 retail outlets across North and South America, Asia-Pacific, China, South Africa and the Middle East, under well-known retail brands such as Sunglass Hut, LensCrafters, OPSM and others.

Moreover, Luxottica are vertically-integrated, controlling design, manufacture and distribution of many major brands in both prescription and fashion eyewear. Their in-house brands include Arnette, Oakley, Oliver Peoples, Persol, Ray-Ban, Vogue and others. Additionally they manufacture product under license for many more, like Brooks Brothers, Chanel, D&G, DKNY, Ralph Lauren, Prada, Tiffany and Versace.

So, monopoly or not, it's fair to say that Luxottica exerts considerable control over the worldwide eyewear market!

> It's safer for an ad blocker to read and modify a page if it has no method of exfiltrating the content.

The problem is that being able to modify the page is a method of exfiltrating information - e.g. you can add an img tag triggering a GET to an arbitrary URL. I suspect it would be surprisingly tricky to try restricting page modification in such a way that information can't be sent anywhere the page wouldn't have sent it originally.

But +1 on deferring permissions prompts until the moment the app actually needs the privilege, though. It's worked pretty well on iOS, and it's finally coming to Android - maybe it'll come to Chrome or Firefox next.

None of the cases I could read about discussed monopoly profits (so I guess, no - although it was not my argument). Rather they focused on the destruction of what were otherwise perfectly good industrial bases.

So I suppose the point I'd like to refute is that "dumping is always a losing game for the dumper".

The following article: http://www.nap.edu/read/5902/chapter/28

Discusses the case of the British steel industry between about 1880 to 1914. It's not 100% clear that dumping was the proximate cause of their industrial decline (these things are very hard to be sure about!), but a strong case is made that it was a major factor. It's actually a pretty interesting read.

Britain had a free market for steel, while the U.S. and German industries enjoyed substantial protection in their home markets. It's better to run a steel plant at 100% capacity, so it actually makes sense to sell extra production overseas even at a loss. Quote:

"The U.S. Consul General in Berlin reported in 1916 that "the Steel Verband believes in dumping. They justify their position as follows: Large steel plants must work at a certain maximum capacity without interruption if they are to remain efficient and produce at a minimum cost. It is impossible for the home market of any plant in any country to absorb a large output without interruption in the flow of orders due to periods of depression, from economic causes outside the influence of the steel industry. Also, the increased complication of the coal, iron, and steel industries, the increased use of furnace gases for industrial purposes (gas engines), for running lighting plants for neighboring towns, also the concentration of all stages of production in a few large mills, have made it increasingly difficult to reduce production in any one line of all the allied processes, without causing grave losses and disorganization in other lines. The Steel Verband therefore maintains that it is better for the entire economic life of the country in slack years at home to dispose of surplus products abroad at prices which may even cause a loss, inasmuch as the loss incurred by dumping abroad is in no comparison to the losses which would be incurred if production were reduced at home. "

Of course in an ideal world everyone in Britain was now "free to do other things than make steel" but of course that ignores the fact that when the steel industry goes, so does a lot of related industry, manufacturing investment, industrial expertise and research and development. This means that a country which falls behind due to dumping will tend to fall further behind.

Interestingly enough if you look through US anti-dumping / countervailing duties messages here: http://adcvd.cbp.dhs.gov/adcvdweb/ it seems like steel is still pretty relevant today.

Yeah unfortunately there seems to be some issues when it comes to deinitializing and reassigning GPUs without hardware reboot. It seems like the type of thing that will get better as time goes on though. Assuming of course there's incentive for GPU manufacturers.
The "least metal words" almost seems like a challenge. I now feel strangely compelled to write metal songs with those words, and I haven't written a metal song in 20 years. I may not be particularly metal, anymore.

Hello, original repo contributor here!

> I'd really like to see a version of this git repository accurately reflecting the fragment, original draft, all 86 revisions (in approximate order and attributed as well we can), and final version published as the Dunlap Broadside...

Me too!

I was unaware that we had the information you mentioned. I helped put this together after talking with my teammate about how it would be interesting to show a famous document being revised like we view code revisions.

Looks like some rationale behind the 82 changes is here: http://alexpeak.com/twr/doi/draft/

> It seems silly to have a project purporting to be various drafts of the Declaration to contain diffs which are entirely anachronistic/accidental/have nothing to do with the actual drafting process.

This is primarily for entertainment value. The commit messages are certainly not learned insights into what the founders were thinking. Perhaps I should have made a note somewhere, like at the bottom of the PR description - the silly aspect is there, and a bit intentional, since I am in no way a scholar on this.

Maybe consider this a prototype demonstrating the potential value - if any - of seeing revisions to famous important documents. The exercise of looking at putting together the diffs was certainly educational! I hope seeing the diffs can be a little insightful to someone else.

> the line "that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" was accidentally removed here[1], and re-added in the next commit here[2].

Intentional - and intentionally silly. I thought it would be interesting to imagine one of the most well-known phrases in US historical writing could be accidentally gobbled up by a stray press of the delete key, just like an important line of code may get wiped out unintentionally.

If anyone with more knowledge of the 82 changes creates a very serious capture of each change, let me know and I will promote it in this repo!

His explanation... demons, as fallen angels, are more crafty than us and can thus reliably avoid detection. I like that, it makes for a good story. It is also a falsifiable hypothesis. Does setting up hidden recording equipment in his office cause his patients to stop displaying evidence of demonic possession? If so, there are explanations more likely than demonic omniscience -- ideally this trial would be double-blind to prevent him from influencing the subject -- but it would be an interesting result nonetheless. Alternatively, he records a sophisticated conversation in Church Latin with a 20-year-old uneducated construction labourer, which would lend at least some credibility to his claims.

Ask HN: Any one getting other people's emails in Gmail
For about a year now I have been receiving other people's emails in my Google Apps email account. These are not spam emails, or misaddressed emails, these are emails that are clearly addressed to other people with completely different email addresses. It appears that the intended recipient also gets a copy of each email as sometimes I see back and forth conversations. I always delete these, and the volume is about 1 email per week or so. But what worries me a lot is, if I am getting other people's emails, what if other people, perhaps evil people, are getting my personal emails as well?

I contacted Google about it several times and got no response. This sounds like the sort of thing they really should look into, but I don't now how to reach anyone there. Anyway, I was wondering, has this ever happened to anyone else?

Works well in Chrome, but gets bog slow in Safari (10 beta). Instruments shows that it spends an enormous amount of time in memcpy copying IOSurface data around; I wonder why it is happening on the CPU rather than the GPU. But it may not be entirely Safari's fault: it appears that every single organism first gets drawn to a canvas the size of the entire screen (as opposed to the size necessary for the organism), then that canvas gets drawImage'd to the main canvas. That's an enormous number of wasted pixels. Also, this seems to happen fresh every frame: I don't know why they're using an intermediate image in the first place, but it's not for caching.
