Why be dishonest to your friends, though? Besides, seeing how rare it is for someone to be banned from FB for no good reason, I don't think most people will believe you; they'll think you did something bad, which you did by flagging harmless videos, but they might even imagine that what you did to get banned was much worse.

If you don't like FB and don't want to be there anymore, I suggest instead removing most things you have on your profile and writing a post explaining that you want to remain in touch with your friends so you are keeping your profile in order to still be reachable but that you won't be as active on FB as you used to any longer because you've come to realize that you don't want FB to have all this data about you (or if your reason is different then write that instead). Just keep the motivation really short so that people see that you have a reason but they don't feel that you are bombarding them with a long argument that they can not relate to.
Even for a 3 month period, I think 16 hours is overkill. I would say 12 hours is the upper limit. This is just my opinion of course.

In any case, good on Google for warning people about that, especially younger interns/employees. Some people just get into the lifestyle and end up realizing what they lost way too late. Work isn't everything. It's important to wind down by doing things other than what you do at work/school, such as exercise, meditation, or a just developing a hobby in general.
My mistake.

I guess it didn't occur to me that a HN user wouldn't know how to use powerpoint.
Try it, it's actually pretty good pacing.

NAT was created to solve the ip space shortage, which ipv6 doesnt have. There's no point in ipv6 NAT.
Yes, it is, but I think the implementation matters. In my building on the Google Kirkland campus, we have men's and women's bathrooms in a few different places, and also one place where there's 5 single-occupancy unisex bathrooms and one mother's room. It's great! It doesn't take any space away from the other bathrooms, and it accommodates people who are uncomfortable in the cisgender multi-person bathrooms for whatever reason (maybe they're somewhere in the QUILTBAG or maybe there's totally unrelated physical or psychological reasons they prefer single-occupancy restrooms).

My understanding is that we're not trying to strike down all the barriers and make all toilets unisex, but there definitely are people who are working to make sure that every building has at least one of those unisex single-occupancy bathrooms, for people who need it. It doesn't cost Googlers anything except at most a couple of conference rooms.
Also, most software doesn't declare that it's making your system more secure.

> it's tough to come up with anything stands alone as even halfway credible.

Thanks for your candid response. We're both agreed that the evidence is highly circumstantial and its maybe worth a second look if the police have some slack. However, amongst many online communities, this circumstantial evidence was enough to start a witch hunt, harassing and intimidating people who just work at a restaurant, serving food.

The issue is that when we say "look maybe something is there, there's no smoke without fire", it encourages exactly those people who verbally and physically intimidate innocent people. The more responsible thing to do would be to say "guys, pipe down. There might be something here but its innocent until proven guilty".

This isn't what's happening, and they don't have the same conciliatory, nuanced approach you're taking. That saddens me.
Haus| Director of Engineering | SF | ONSITE, VISA www.haus.com

Homes are the most important purchases of people's lives and there are roughly 10 million home buyers and sellers in the U.S. annually. Yet, the transaction process of buying and selling a home is antiquated and inefficient.

We believe openness can reduce the anxiety that results from the current process and increase satisfaction for everyone: buyers, sellers and agents. We want to empower agents with technology so they increase the access to information for buyers and sellers. To do so, Haus builds technology to promote open and fair home buying and selling.

Haus was founded at Expa, a startup studio that works with founders to develop and launch new products. Garrett Camp, co-founder of Uber and StumbleUpon and founder and CEO of Expa, serves as the partner for Haus advising on product strategy and design.

If you are a hands on engineering leader who is not afraid of writing tons of code and want to make huge impact on the business direction. This job is for you! We need someone who is very comfortable with fast pace environment and a strong full stack engineer.

Contact me at kit@haus.com for more information.
This happens whenever a government promises to spend a lot on infrastructure improvements.

People keep assuming because Trump said he'd spend on infrastructure that it will happen. Congress is the only entity that can authorize spending, and those in Congress with the power said it is very low on their priority list.

Sure, maybe Trump will make a deal with the House or Senate majority leader, but it seems to me unless something unusual happens, there won't be significant increase in spending on infrastructure.
That's fantastic, thank you. Obviously the researchers are going to be optimistic about their own project but if it's even a tenth as good as they claim, this could genuinely solve the problem.

Love the compression ratio ;-)

However, I think your version could be subject to misinterpretation. When you are referring to change, are you implying "themselves", "their circumstances", or both?

In the story above the glass room dwellers did change themselves - from aspirational to resigned.

So perhaps, the compression was "lossy" after all ;-)
It's not reassuring to hear that lowly engineers can't access the data, but the axe-grinding execs can.
Why can't I just stop watching something I find offensive, at most flagging it for later review (to determine if it is actively dangerous in some way) rather than living in a world where some stupidly biased "intelligence" (whether human or artificial) gets to determine what is "offensive"? Facebook already is a massive filter bubble, where my own biases bias who I allow as friends: isn't that enough to ensure that I effectively only see content I find reasonable?

I mean, really: I do not find nudity offensive, and nor do most of the people I know (I would say "any", but maybe someone is just keeping quiet). I definitely never found breast feeding offensive, and would even say I find the notion that Facebook had previously been removing such content and calling it offensive itself extremely offensive (and it isn't clear to me that they have truly stopped, though their official policy is now to accept it).

Are they really going to take the time to correctly retrain all their algorithms to deal with policy shifts? Is it even correct to try to do this "live" given that context later in the video might change peoples' ideas about what the content was showing, where what looked like exhibitionism turns out to be a political protest? The difference between a live "unedited" news broadcast (as is being increasingly done: the local TV station and newspaper where I live have been using Facebook live streaming) and an opinion segment or narrative is also subtle: will it flag and block live footage of a riot as "violence"? What happens when the algorithm says "President Trump's State of the Union is hate speech"? Will they be proudly letting it stop the stream?

Gah.
You do know that your phone company already has that info, right?
Settings > personal > location (Android 6 at least). You can disable the privilege in Settings > device > apps > Uber > permissions.
I think they mean the people that are basically marketers/sales people who aren't creators and despite often thinking so aren't visionaries either. The type of person that "just needs someone to do that nerd shit" and they'll turn it into a huge success. Like the two guys that flew from London to show up Justin Kan's house uninvited.

Which isn't to say that can't be successful. With a piece of shit MVP coded by the winning bidder, some slick design, a good sales pitch and a ton of luck you might just get enough money to pay a real programmer enough to develop something that can actually get some serious investor cash which you can use to rewrite it yet again to get a real product that can scale.
> not only they can be bypassed almost trivially,

Sounds almost crazy but I agree as I saw some 17y.o. students I taught who created a simple, autoupdating undetected .exe trojan in autohotkey in an evening or so.
Or don't accept this app update. If/when Uber stops the current app version (with 3 privacy settings) from working with their server API, switch from Uber to a competitor.

Apple can also change their policy for ride-sharing apps, to force "While Using" as an option, or block Uber's update from the App Store.

Remember that it was only after apps abused the contact database, that permissions were added by Apple to give users control over apps. Apple can step up now and define a new policy that responds to these new abuses of user choice, within the ride-sharing app category.

This is one of the few benefits of Apple's walled garden review of apps. Perhaps we will eventually thank Uber for pushing the boundaries of etiquette, forcing Apple to regulate Uber and their peers.
Ah, so instead of fixing a system that does not meet their needs homeschoolers opt out and leave the less time and resource affluent to stew. How commendable and good for society.

I think the course presented illustrates well why democratic and republican societies should always prohibit private and home schooling.

Instead of opting out parents such as the writer would be forced to engage and reform and participate in change and help bettering things for society and not just themselves, because the differences in educational equity they'd otherwise beget are seeds sown on the path to social schisms, vast class divides, and the destruction of a system dependent on educated voters.
I can't answer why you think calling me names is going to help, sorry. Maybe you've mistaken HN for a different kind of forum?
iOS does reasonably well
Interesting reads, thanks for sharing. I wonder if mimicking any of the time tested, real life, community building techniques would work. Like if you examined religion or the university structure maybe there would be more things you could replicate online. Reddit already has subs where you need to upload pictures of your diploma.
One of the best things you can learn is that nobody knows what they are doing.

The only problem is when the people you're interviewing with don't know that yet.
Can you remind me again why HA Proxy isn't hitless? Does it have to do with nproc?
> there are really no such things as bad trips. Only uncomfortable trips with often uncomfortable truths or revelations about the world and/or yourself

You can put it in whatever context you want, and for the most part I agree, but I myself have had what I would definitely describe as a "bad trip". It resulted in me having to deal with anxiety and panic attacks for the next 4+ years. I also personally know people who have had what could only be described as "bad trips" including one instance of police being called to the house and one instance of someone jumping out a window.

I know it is important to take every experience as a learning opportunity, but there are some people who physiologically have bad reactions to hallucinogens and those who are susceptible to mental disorders. Saying that "there are really no such things as bad trips" is really downplaying how powerful these substances can be.
A tech labor union should not make the mistakes of past unions... In fact, we should strive to be disruptive and experiment with brand new ideas.

For example, we could push for industry-wide standardized job level requirements that are demographic-blind. This would reduce agism, sexism, and other blind (or not-so-blind) biases.

This would also benefit businesses by normalizing job requirements across businesses (for example: reducing interview costs and avoiding spending internal resources on defining requirements).
So...Uber has Always/Never functionality and you propose and change that makes the user choose Always/Never/Never?

If you can't see the potential for abuse then you need to take a step back and look at things in a different perspective. There is a very real possibility that Uber could be hacked in the future, or has already been hacked. Can Ubers infrastructure withstand an Operation Aurora level attack?
Only 12 events per hour? I'd guess you're off by an order of magnitude.
It's tricky to get the ux of this right. Say you don't want to give Firefox background access because it should only be active while you are actively browsing. Then that one time when you are about to download a 4GB iso, you start the download and minimize the app or even close the phone, when you get back the download was cancelled after just 2%. :(

Not saying it can't be done, just that there are many corner cases that can easily "break the internet" for non tech users if not handled in a smart way.
Thanks, dang. I know the moderation was most likely a coincidence and not some kind of personal vendetta or my commenting getting worse, but I couldn't help but wonder.

I believe that SV, with all its flaws, is as close to meritocracy as it gets (after professional sports?) and was really just wondering what "summers" meant.
What you call "social schism" I call liberty.

I think the universal availability of public schooling is, in general, a great good. But the idea of the government telling me that I can't home school my children makes my skin crawl. The US constitution correctly defines strictly limited roles for the government, and carves out huge spaces for individual liberty - liberty which is meaningless if I'm forced to allow the government to indoctrinate my children in ways that I may strongly disagree with.

Turn it around. Imagine that schools taught a sort of religious fundamentalism that you found abhorrent. Would you want the government to be able to force you to send your children there?

Making home schooling illegal turns the government into a master precisely when it should be a servant, and a jailer when it should be a helper.

How an obscure rule lets law enforcement search any computer
This is sad, you really think Trump is anti-immigrant? If you paid half a moment of attention you would know he is anti-ILLEGAL immigrant which is perfectly reasonable in a sovereign country with immigration laws.
This is from Victoria, Australia in case there is confusion.

And as a background. The majority of K-12 schools are free, public schools with a smaller but growing group of religious schools. Home schooling is perfectly legal but requires you to register with the government.

Personally I think those who advocate for home schooling often think schooling is purely for education. When for children it is also the time in which they develop socially. Taking them away from that without a suitable alternative is in my opinion somewhat reckless. But provided there is some alternative I don't see why it wouldn't be an option.
Fair point, however just because the phone company/NSA has this information, IMHO that doesn't make unnecessarily intrusive apps OK with me.
I'm convinced!

Does uber offer a password/bank information storage service?

With such great security and unhackable storage, those are the next logical upgrade and would make a really great one-stop service for your customers.

You're right, it's less about ass kissing and more about cultural fit which is kind of a dog whistle but not exactly since you can hang if you're a "cool" Indian dude who drinks beer and plays ping pong, beer pong or foosball and doesn't smell funny.
Your primary duty as a parent is to your child, not "society".

"I think the course presented illustrates well why democratic and republican societies should always prohibit private and home schooling."

Any society that does such things is neither "democratic" nor "republican". It is totalitarian, pretty much by definition.

They're not your children, dude.
Uber also charges significantly different prices between users.

My friends and I did a test and each time, I keep getting charged at least $6 more.

Is this old? 2016 is over. Are we supposed to be looking back at how right/wrong they were? When was this originally published?
Right! Now that we know you are engineer, you can just as well go to your PM and tell him that people do not like this. I have permanently disabled UBER on my device, and will turn it on only and if ever use Uber again. Big step back for the privacy, and many people I know like the traditional cabs because of that.
I don't know what you do guys, but recently, uber is becoming an uber bloat. Messy UI, bugs everywhere, shady taxes because driver can't find me (?!?!?), also when I dispute my money, they go to my account and not on my debit card, from where they are stolen from! Yeah, I am pretty pissed. Won't use uber anytime soon.
Edit: Oh, and one more thing. Start writing release notes, as the normal apps and people do!

Imagine what it's like for those who actually have more than 40 hours of work to do each week. And hour and a half commutes each way.

I feel so busy because my work day is essentially 12 hours. Even at that, I know people who legitimately work more than 50 hours a week, every week. This is not sustainable. One great solution would be to start making companies pay overtime. Would create tons of jobs and a healthier society.

Let's take it a step further and make 35 hours full time. Time and a half after that.

I really think Trump is anti-immigrant. The distinction between legal and ILLEGAL immigrants sometimes cuts across families, and doesn't matter to those of us who came here from elsewhere. We know once the ILLEGAL immigrants are deported, we're next up.
