Oh man I'm so sick of this 'fake news' hype here in Germany.

It's the internet. Get used to it!

edit: I'm also very curious how Facebook plans to accomplish it. They probably gave the usual response 'yeah we'll fix it', so our politicians and news outlets stop talking about this nonsense.
Ugh, great now I'll never read "Ye Olde" the same way.
It kind of defeats the point. It all gets chicken and egg. I've some accounts that I want totally and utterly divorced from each other.

> Guess what - Google already has your phone number before asking for it via the 2FA form. My guess is that the reason they have one platform-independent process for setting up 2FA is for iOS users.

Only if the phone number is the same one I use for my Android phone. But yes, I realize that any SIM I put into my phone will also be known by Google.

It's just an incredibly shit onboarding method. They already have a more secure way than SMS to determine the account owner, so why not offer it as an option?
There were a lot of cognate words and similar grammar, but genders and inflectional endings didn't match well at all. That drove the dramatic simplification of English grammar, for the most part. As for the Norman influence, it was mostly vocabulary... but changing the languages of documentation to Latin (mostly) and French (in law, for the most part) left English a lot of room to progress away from the Old English that was, by that time, already playing the same sort of role that Latin did in the Early Romance period - it no longer reflected the language that people lived in.
Agreed. I'm just objecting to the notion that Facebook makes buying ads hard to protect their advertisers.
> So you get asked to throw something together to see if people like it. So you do. And you don't in your wildest dreams think that this piece of shit is going to see the light of day. It's just concept.

One of my previous products was a custom failover application for one of our customers. It took a year on and off, with a quick prototype to see if we were on the right track ("yep looking good!"), rewriting as proper application, sending test verisons ("yep, we received it!"), getting replies back ("yep, the new update works!"), after which we decided it done and parked the project.

Then came a feature request. They wanted us to change some text in the program that was annoying one of the operators. Specifically, the text "!! PROTOTYPE VERSION - DO NOT USE !!" in the window title, and the "!!PROTOTYPE VERSION - DO NOT USE!!" text in large letters on the main window. It was also called "PROTOTYPE" in the start menu launcher, but they'd helpfully managed to rename that themselves.

So yeah, they were still using - in production - the initial quick test I bashed together in two days, and some CA on our end or customer representative in the middle was either horribly confused or just faking the project management part all the time.
Necessary knee-jerking wake-up call: Antibiotics should be rationed, those prescribed (after culturing) must be assured they are taken by some automatic/interactive means and it should be a felony to pill-mill them for a cold; otherwise, without rapid r&d, we're going to lose the survival arms race.

Our society is structed such that it is a convincing argument. If tech companies aren't at fault, how are citizens who are doing what they can to get by in this cut-throat world at fault?
As someone who's been there and understands your thoughts and feelings, I'm going to make this very short and simple.

If you've lost interest in everyrhing and you have felt this way for longer than a few weeks you are not just burned out, you are depressed.

UNLESS you are prescribed Selegelline, I highly recommend you avoid taking the medical route. (Selegelline is worth taking even if you are not depressed for its neuro protective qualities and possible neurogenesis).

If you feel up to it, do cardio (running, biking, playing basketball, etc.) 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week or 60 minutes a day 3 days a week. It must be aerobic exercise, not just lifting weights.

It can be tough to generate the motivation. My solution to this was to buy a pack of energy drinks specifically made to be taken before a workout(Redline, not red bull, monster, etc.) . If I didnt feel like working out, I would ingest the energy drink. At that point, Id have no choice but to exercise because being sedentary in that state is extremely uncomfortable.

Going to a doctor and trying to find not only the right medication, but the right dosage is hell and can take a year or more. Not only that, medication often causes many undesirable side effects such as anxiety, weight gain and sexual dysfunction, which may lower your well being even more.

If you have a good friend, task him/her with motivating you to stick to your exercise regiment. Not only is it free, it works better than medication, it will proba ly extend your lifespan, and it will moat likely make you more physically fit/attractive.
How to Do iOS Localization on a Small Budget
Actually, the US dietary guidelines had very little to do with the "experts" and had everything to do with the government structures who based their recommendations on an incomplete set of research. [0]

[0] From http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/what-if-it-s-all-...: "In the intervening years, the N.I.H. spent several hundred million dollars trying to demonstrate a connection between eating fat and getting heart disease and, despite what we might think, it failed. Five major studies revealed no such link. A sixth, however, costing well over $100 million alone, concluded that reducing cholesterol by drug therapy could prevent heart disease. The N.I.H. administrators then made a leap of faith. Basil Rifkind, who oversaw the relevant trials for the N.I.H., described their logic this way: they had failed to demonstrate at great expense that eating less fat had any health benefits. But if a cholesterol-lowering drug could prevent heart attacks, then a low-fat, cholesterol-lowering diet should do the same."

I think this misses a key point of democracy. The president is not important as a person but because he is legitimized by the american public. Replacing him requires an enormous effort which is really what it is all about.
On top of that one could argue that the president has to be kept safe so that there is somebody willing to get elected and take the risk. Sure, someone will always become president but that person might not have the required skills.
I did Adwords for 1 person mom shops and bigger companies in industries ranging from tourism and general aviation to jewelry and software development.

It was all profitable. Ad agencies are borderline scammers - they measure traffic and clicks as performance, which makes you to spend more money to increase "performance" and pay more agency fees.

Sometimes I burned $15000 before first conversion, but ROI was always positive in the end.

People launching ads without any experience, redirecting people to homepage and loosing money are the same kind of people trying trade stock market and loosing money, creating their own amateur e-commerce shop and loosing money getting zero customers, hiring high-school nephew for company website etc etc. You need experience, and before that - knowledge.

First, manage your ads in-house. Agencies have no reason to work for your conversions, that's not their business model.
Second, don't treat ads like "we'll slap users with our ad and see what happens". Prepare user flow, conversion funnel, dedicated landing pages, drip campaigns, remarketing etc.

Adwords and Facebook are fully-fledged promotion channels and they have to be treated as such. It's a craft which consultants make huge money from - because they know how to bring profits.

Eh, the 0805 passives he's using and the relatively coarse-pitched package on the Atmega32U4 shouldn't be too bad. This seems like a fairly reasonable project to learn SMT soldering with.

I am in the process writing a semi-natural query language (boolean logic) targeted at domain experts (in this case biomedical researchers) that compiles to either database queries (e.g. SQL) or a function call for arbitrary logic. The goal of the compiler bit is to abstract away where the data ultimately lives (similar to GraphQL) or how it is structured.
Not to forget the long S [0]. I got pretty confused with it the other day, when reading a old French book (a Lavoisier memoir on diamond combustion). It seems to have been quite popular in a variety of languages, giving the (nowadays) German ß.
While this is technically an "s", the way it was written "ſ" can be confusing, as it is quite close to "f".

I am a bit stuffed today due to a cold, what I tried to explain is that there is no "Old English" in modern english. It was wiped out during danelaw and replaced with scandinavian. They did however adopt local "Old English" words into scandinavian and eventually it evolved to modern english.

Scandinavian languages did not change due to this.

Read the article, they explain it much better than me ;)

Obama visited Ireland in 2011. I remember the Clinton visit in the '90s. Both shut the city down and increased the presence of security forces everywhere. I worked in the city centre at the time and it was chaos for a few days.

Making matters worse was the fact that a week or two prior the Queen visited (arguably a more important state visit, for historical reasons). So in effect, for about three weeks, Dublin was hell to commute in.

As someone who changes phone numbers periodically, I couldn't agree more. The worst part is all the services who use it as the only identifier. Services like WhatsApp, Signal, etc should AT LEAST offer an alternative means of identification, be it a user-chosen handle or an email address.
I've just found in Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_olde

"The anachronistic use of "ye olde" dates at least to the late 18th century, as seen in the image at below right (image 1908). The use of the term "ye" to mean "the" is based in Early Modern English, in which the could be written as þe, employing the Old English letter thorn, þ. During the Tudor period, the scribal abbreviation for þe was EME ye.svg ("þͤ" or "þᵉ" with modern symbols); here, the letter ⟨þ⟩ is combined with the letter ⟨e⟩"

Wikipedia links to MW:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ye[2]

"Origin and Etymology of ye

alteration of Middle English þe the, from Old English þē; from the use of the letter y by printers and scribes of late Middle English to represent þ (th) of earlier manuscripts

First Known Use: 1551"

And finally:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)#Old_English

"The letter thorn was used for writing Old English very early on, as was ð; unlike ð, however, thorn remained in common use through most of the Middle English period. Both letters were used for the phoneme /θ/, sometimes by the same scribe."

Yes, it was originally "þe". When printing presses came around, they didn't have a thorn character (because they were imported from countries that didn't use them), and so they used a "y" (in Gothic type, they look almost identical).
Well what's a rant. A rant is moral or righteous indignation expressed as such. But it's taken on another connotation as unwelcome cynicism akin to evil in the culture of positivity. I won't rant any more on this.

The right answer is: all of them :D
Clearly you have your own unorthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics and you are quite emotionally attached to it. The argument that the universe is really X, but your brain just perceives it as Y because of Z can be made for any X,Y & Z. I don't find it compelling whatever the alleged reason for the disparity (in this case the no cloning theorem). There's also whole host of other issues, if everything is QM why has the brain evolved as a classical information processor, QM is unitary so you need to explain time/thermodynamics ...

Anyway, if you truly believe you have nailed both the measurement problem and consciousness in one fell swoop. Then I suggest you seek some like minded collaborators and a peer reviewed outlet for your ideas.

Returning to your original comment.

> It is astonishing to me that the physics community still bifurcates into two camps: those who think this is common knowledge, and those who are completely unaware of it (or think it's a crazy idea).

As a former member of the physics community I can tell you this is completely false. Everyone is aware of decoherence, it's covered toward the end most of undergrad courses in QM where the density matrix is introduced. I've never met anyone who thinks it solves the measurement problem.
Anyway the fictitious Gregor Kashniv was non-fictitiously drunk as a lord, and it's overall a good thing that he fictitiously woke up almost 24 hours later in a cell than either (fictitiously) wake up in a hospital bed or NOT wake up in a morgue (and no people nor animals were harmed in the making).

Is helping others really so important to you? If so, why didn't you pursue a path where doing it is much easier and direct (than in tech), such as for example being a doctor or a nurse? I suspect that this speak about helping is some sort of fake BS that your mind picked up (it is prevalent among the startup crowd). More experienced people speak about it as a form of political correctness (as it sounds better that doing a startup for just selfish reasons), while young people such as yourself treat it at face value and can even internalize it as their own values. I'm not saying that's what happened with you (I don't know you) - just please take a minute and think about it.
It was spelled "þe". As the writing of þ evolved, it got closer to a "y" and so this was chosen by printers as a replacement character. The Wikipedia page on the þ has a section for its use in the English language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)#English
Is this really new? The course page [1] lists that it was published in 2013.

90% seems accurate:

- Most times I click in ads, I do it only to help the content creators, I have no interest at all in the ad I'm clicking.

- The remaining clicks I often do it by mistake.
The reason why thorn (þ) became synonymous with <y> is because the character evolved to look similar[1] so when the printing press was invented people used the similar looking <y> character in place of the thorn.

So the whole <y> / <þ> relationship wasn't born from pronunciation but rather technological innovation.

That statement should be way more prominent in the article. To not have that prior to the text, or not immediately after it (and not mostly through a paragraph that I skipped because I though it was about the author/website that's in a smaller font) seems highly manipulative.
Now you can do copy and paste. I guess usability wise similar to offer precompiled packages of open source software (you can also build from source yourself, this is just a lot easier).

Ask HN: Alternative to Flickr?
I am concerned about Flickr future. It might be just an emotional reaction to the news I've read in the last 2-3 months about Yahoo.
It might be not. Still I want to explore some alternatives.

So far I used Flickr as a decent alternative to Google Photos and I stored there public and private photos from my projects.

Does anyone know a good decent alternative to Flickr?
Meaning:
- Possibility to have public/private photos
- Setting license per image
- A good trust in the parent company regarding privacy

So far my alternatives seems to be:
iCloud, Dropbox, Google Photos
Is it just me that finds the constant panning and zooming really distracting?

Try installing Signal on your phone when your only connection to the world is over WiFi. Try getting an SMS when you're not on a compatible network. You can't. That doesn't mean I don't have my phone with me. The requirement for a contactable phone number instead of an email address or other message is like pretending that your IP address and your hardware MAC address are the same thing, when they're obviously not. One identifies an actual piece of equipment, and the other is literally just bits on the wind.
No kidding. The fact it's right near the end of a fairly long disclaimer block is even worse, since most people will likely never read that far.
Why do you care how fast you can read it back when you're storing it for regulatory purposes? Isn't that a sunk cost? Buy high capacity, high reliability and don't care for the read speed?
> in the end of the day what will be difference if there will be minor bug in mobile phone OS

Even if the bug only provides an inconvenience or irritation (as opposed to say a crash or data loss) for one minute per user per year, it's still tens/hundreds of millions of people whose lifes were made a tiny bit worse. It's something like being an asshole to someone in the queue at the grocery store - it's just that one person affected and he'll forget that in 15 minutes - but it does not make it ok.
If you're on DO or Linode or similar, you start with a new VPS and check the IP it's assigned in all the RBLs and spam blacklists. (Google "multi rbl check", there's a bunch.) If it's on any of them, tear down the VPS and stand up a fresh one, and repeat until you get a clean IP. Then keep it that way by not running an open relay.

Beyond that, the main deliverability improvements, in approximate order of value, are: PTR record with the hostname you send mail from; DKIM; SPF; DMARC.

My mail server runs all of these, and I've yet to encounter trouble sending to anyone, including Gmail, which is often mentioned in threads like these as being a special issue. Admittedly I've been running mail from that IP since 2004, so have a long history of not being a spammer, but as long as you start out with a clean IP and keep it so, and make sure all your sender legitimacy boxes are properly checked, I don't see any reason why you should have undue difficulty.
