It's at least somewhat ironic, though, that the first person profiled in the article is from Norway, as Norway has always rejected EU membership. If you're upset about Britain leaving the EU, "taking your talents back to Norway" makes it sound like EU membership isn't exactly top of your concerns.

For addicts, religion or saying and thinking about life in religious ways and mantras, work surprisingly well for beating the addiction. It's difficult for me to say it being a "hard-core atheist", but this is something I've seen from my close ones. Of course, now in my eyes they have another problem, but it's not substance addiction anymore.
He, thank you very much, I will look into this. As a self-taught electronics designer ( https://mecoffee.nl ) I find the amount of different components ( at Farnell, Mouser et al ) absolutely intimidating.

Could you provide some insight into why for tantalums the ESR is specified, while for these ceramics they are not? How should I go about filtering them at Farnell/Mouser ?

Thanks again.
I should have added last night that those are the pragmatic reasons why I don't think that's likely. The stronger argument is that Thiel's most likely reaction is going to be expanding Palantir's data sources or investing in more data mining companies.
Booking.com to be blocked in Turkey
The Association of Turkish Travel Agencies(TURSAB) just announced that they won in court against Booking.com for its unfair business practices and Booking.com will be prevented from selling Turkish properties(the govt body that handles the internet censorship will be notified, usually means the offending URLs will be blocked and if that's not possible the entire domain name will be blocked until the offending material is removed) and Booking.com is ordered to pay 2.543.992,85 TL(~1.4M USD) in damages.

The announcement is in Turkish and is available on the TURSAB website:

The thing is, I agree this article is low quality but the compound nature of brexit+snoopers charter+uncertainty with companies is certainly affecting the attractiveness of the country.

I'm British, I left to go work in Sweden for a couple years while my girlfriend finished her studies here, since I've been here we've had _significant_ challenges and erosions of rights and privacy in the UK, the EU (with all its warts) was investing much more in deprived areas of the country than the UK government was (or had done pre-EU).

It's bleak, there's a bigger country than just London (which currently carries almost the entire of the rest of the UK financially) and the companies that run there are fickle.

There is a self-fulfilling cycle that goes with London, companies go there because it's where the brains are. Brains go there because it's where the companies are.

If there is another place companies go, the brains will undoubtedly follow. Then who carries the UK?

Anecdatum is not data; but with enough of it, it can certainly paint a keen picture of the situation for many.
Thread Tweets Is on Product Hunt: Quick Way to Write and Read Twitter Threads
Perhaps GP is referring to Marx's theory of exploitation in which surplus value is appropriated from the workers. Many people, especially in jobs which require a lot of equipment (e.g physics, theoretical physics) can't enter self-employment or become bourgeoisie themselves, in which case they are almost forced by societal structure to stay as a member of the proletariat and thusly paid wages for labour-time during which they perform extra labour which is collected as surplus.

That's a reasonable take on what GP was referring to, though I'm not sure if that's it. Exploitation of human capital is everywhere, whether in Britain or China. The standards of living and 'civilised Western democracy' are meaningless and irrelevant to the theory of exploitation.
Very interesting. Any information about upcoming pricing?

Docker Fiddle: write, validate and build Dockerfiles online
It's a repeal of the regulation put in place by the FCC last year October prohibiting ISPs (such as Verizon, AT&T) to sell their customers' data. This shows how strong the lobbyist groups are if this very recent item was taken on this quickly -- which makes sense if you think about that it's a $156+ billion industry in the US alone.

The regulation from last October required to ask for expressive consent to sell the following:

- Precise geo-location
- Children’s information
- Health Information
- Financial Information
- Social Security Numbers (wait, they actually sold those?!)
- Web Browsing History
- App Usage History
- The content of communication

With the new regulation, passing all of these information on is fair game again. Which is absolute fucking shocking!

Btw, for anyone interested, I wrote a blog post about the implications of the new regulation for ISPs when it was first passed -- just make sure to read it as the opposite of what I wrote: https://blog.datawallet.io/broad-band-providers-take-a-hit-b...

Recognizing the costs of providing internet service, and then making a suggestion to pay a higher premium for additional service (i.e. privacy) is the logical way to resolve this.

> The FCC rule is being struck down using the Congressional Review Act [1]. CRA provides "an expedited legislative process" [2]. Giving the FTC authority in this area would require passing a real law.

Right. But if the real basis of reversing the FCC action is not that the substance is wrong but the regulator is wrong, then you'd expect the fix to the law to allow the FTC to regulate to, at a minimum, be introduced first and highlighted in the debate over reversing the FCC action. (And, in fact, regular laws can be expedited as well, as was demonstrated procedurally with the AHCA, even if the votes were never there to follow through on the expedited process that was set up.)
Theresa May wants deep and special partnership with the EU, without contributing at all to its existence. If every country in the EU does the same, guess what, there is no EU.

And without EU, without compromises, without rules, without standards, without common legislation, nothing of value rests. Just a bunch of countries, a bunch of private enterprises, trying to cherry pick in each an every transaction, looking for the shortest of short term profits, continuously changing course, now associating with this country, now with this other. Now selling round bananas, tomorrow selling bananas polluted with lead. Today not allowing imports of bananas from Romania because they are not straight enough, and tomorrow not accepting them from Italy because they are too straight.

Foreign citizens get expelled with made up reasons, according to what the popular opinion of the moment is. Trucks get delayed or not in a complete obscure manner.

Products get made and exported without any respect for work or environmental regulations. Quality does not satisfy any kind of standards. Nobody can trust any foreign business because there is no institution to complain to in case consumer rights are not respected. Financial products are sold to steal savings from foreign investors - until this is recognized and foreign investors stop using those investment vehicles, completely destroying the market.
I have a funny little story about outsourcing failures from my parents. Beechcraft for years has been trying to find ways get their costs down. They've been warring with the unions for years on everything: healthcare and wages mostly. So, when they started outsourcing to Mexico parts of aircraft like the wiring harness and the fuel bladders. As a result there's some bad blood between them and the Salina Kansas community. The union had no real way to force them to stay, so the jobs went. When Beechcraft setup the plants they offered above average wages (daily payment too) to workers in Mexico and even gave them their own tools (that was normal but any replacement tools for workers in the US had to be bought by the workers from the company at least as I remember with my mom complaining years having to buy hers when she use to work for them as well) but despite all that most workers in the Mexican plant would quit the first day and sometimes leave with not only their own tools but any other equipment they could find. So Beechcraft hired US contractors at a much higher price than former US employees to do the same work in Mexico (how does this work exactly? I really would love to talk with a former Beechcraft executive as to how they computed the financial numbers for this little venture someday.) and even then the quality of the fuel bladders and wiring harnesses were terrible. Most of the fuel bladders leaked and so they often had to be fixed at the Mexican plant (no plants state-side to do fixes were available). Last I heard from my dad who still works for them that they were trying to bring back some of that work to the US but in Arkansas. Frankly, I'll be surprised even then they'll get viable QA setup so long as they focus purely on the cost side of things.
SQEDit – Communication Scheduler – Lifehack App
Yeah I use graylog and elk stack and ansible already, there is still an isolation level with full VM's you don't get with containers. (namespace sharing issues, kernel-level system call attack issues, etc). Of course VM's have the same issues with the host OS, but there is a single layer more for an attacker to penetrate, and as we know, security is all about layers.

On that note, a FOSS ansible tower alternative popped up on my radar recently that looks interesting.

> Could you provide some insight into why for tantalums the ESR is specified, while for these ceramics they are not?

Ceramics are highly frequency dependent. Almost every parameter changes with frequency: capacitance, ESR, ESL... you gotta look at charts.

For the most part, when picking a Ceramic Cap... you pick a dielectric (NP0 for voltage and temperature stability and accuracy... X5R for "high" values like 10uF).

> How should I go about filtering them at Farnell/Mouser

The only methodology that seems to work for me is to learn the various types of dielectrics. For the most part, the properties of NP0 ceramic capacitors are the same across all the companies.

Class 1 (typically NP0) and Class 2 (typically X7R... but X7S, X5R or whatever is fine) are your main types. Class 1 for temperature and voltage stability and accuracy at the nanoFarad range, Class 2 for "high" values like 10uF.
Thanks for posting this -- very informative!

That decision seems insanely broad; there's nothing in there that prevents AT&T from buying a breakfast cereal company and selling corn flakes that claim each 1 pound box contains 80 pounds of cereal and will make you live forever.

At the same time, it doesn't seem to apply to ISP broadly; only ISPs that qualify as common carriers. Although the definition of common carrier seems overly broad itself, according to [1], even pointing out that Disney is a common carrier because their roller coasters in their theme parks carry passengers [2].

Has any attempt been made to amend either the FTC acts or the FCC acts to clarify the extent to which entities are classified as common carriers only as regards to those activities which meet the definition?

> [...] there is no question that women cannot think as men do and vice versa

This is garbage. The tone of the article often implies that the way women think is superior to the way men think, but none-the-less, this is sexism. As a woman it is extremely frustrating to be continuously pigeon-holed because of my anatomy. I'm sure it is equally frustrating for men.

> Rather than demand a return to her own domain (e.g. to be paid and recognised for the ‘uneconomic’ shadow-work she had been doing), rather than refuse entry into the nightmarish market-economy, [...] she instead accepted the assumptions of the male world and began to fight for ‘equality’ and ‘recognition’ within it.

I have absolutely no desire to be relegated to the realm of home-keeping, whether or not such work would be fairly compensated. No shade to those who prefer such a lifestyle, but the choice is what is key here. To have your experience limited is the true nightmare.
Ok, this is one of those ideas that is clearly dumb but still just might work... you could hack a personal history report out of Google Analytics.

You create a browser extension that adds the GA pagetag to every site you visit. Have the Client ID isolated by tab, but persist from one domain to another, so every tab is reported as a different "User." Then you can use the Behavior Flow reports to see the next-page/previous-page/next-domain/previous-domain data for everything you viewed!

This of course has the enormous caveat that now all your browser history is setting in a Google Analytics account, instead of just only on the browser. But considered Congress just allowed your ISP to sell that data anyways, maybe that's not such a big drawback anymore?

Unless someone can point out why it's not what it's cracked up to be? Seems like a rather easy-to-setup solution, somewhere between straight up paying a service and rolling everything yourself (I do pay PIA, but I've found that, not infrequently, my speeds are drastically throttled. I'll be actively downloading a file while connected at 400kb/s, cancel the download, disconnect from them, restart the same file, and be at 10mbit/s. I have no doubt some of that is due to the nature of the VPN, but I can't imagine all of it is. But, I'm not not a network engineer.)
I'm curious if this will result in ISPs requiring the installation of an SSL root CA on customers' devices -- they can't track SSL traffic without it.

Nope:

> The bill not only gives cable companies and wireless providers free rein to do what they like with your browsing history, shopping habits, your location and other information gleaned from your online activity, but it would also prevent the Federal Communications Commission from ever again establishing similar consumer privacy protections.

Also, a lot of things are broken. Voices are raised when something bad is actively done, not when something good isn't actively being done.

Do you get the difference? I am dismayed that the healthcare system is currently bad and has been bad for generations. Is it smarter to kick up a fuzz randomly out of nowhere, or to do it when there's legislation being made on it, in either direction?
> Currently the latest version of Chrome is the only browser that supports the advanced and exciting features we've built into Construct 3. We hope to add support for other browsers once they catch up with us!

What features are currently missing from Firefox to be allowed to use Construct 3? Seeing more and more errors like this lately, and most of the times the features the developers don't think Firefox supports, actually exists.

Edit: Running Firefox 52, I get a list of features that are not supported yet that is needed, so seems legit.

If you want to try Construct 3 anyways on Firefox, you can enable dom.webcomponents.enabled and dom.dialog_element.enabled while running Firefox 53 in about:config, and everything should work fine. Firefox 53 is supposed to be released 2017-04-18.

Thanks to the team behind Construct to actually use feature detection instead of user agent sniffing to block browsers.
Chances of such a thing happening are extremely slim, but you are right, if all the remainers would simply shut the UK down then it might work, but that would require the rest of the EU to over-rule the signing of Article 50 by the current UK prime minister and I doubt they would go along with that. It might be worth a try, but last week would have been a much better time.
It seems like the replies here are very much in defense of Apple which I am not surprised about, but I do not really consider it to be warranted.

I have been using f.lux for years and it has definitely had a huge impact on me. I don't have any scientific data to back up my claims, but f.lux is a fantastic product.

When you consider that f.lux released a side loading version of their app on iOS and then Apple threatened to remove their developer license, and then after it was pulled, released their own ripped off version of the software that does not work as well, you can understand how they might be upset about that. I understand that is business, but as someone who has used both I find f.lux to be completely superior.

Apple probably should have bought f.lux and then integrated it into their products, but instead decided to do it themselves. I'm not saying the software is earth shattering, but they spent years on the problem, and it feels as if Apple implemented their version in a few days.

I think Apple should open up the screen/display APIs on iOS to allow f.lux and other similar apps to be installed. I would happily pay for it rather than use night shift.
Norway is in the single market though. Not the same as being in the EU but clearly here conflated (and the most significant difference to what the UK wants).

The UK has 2 year to retract as article 50 allows that. 2 years is a long period in UK politics during which a vote of no-confidence could happen, calling for new elections that could retract article 50. Even if the 2 years pass, the EU already said that they would fast track the UK back in if a future government wants to come back. This is not over.
I am a strong advocate for privacy, please understand that before you continue reading this. I don't want ISPs to sell my browsing history, and I am continually disappointed in the Republican opposition to net neutrality and online privacy. I'm even working on an open source project involving cryptography and secret protection, so I have skin in the game.

However, this headline is patently false, right? Congress didn't sell anything. They removed protections that were put into place late last year and hadn't gone into effect as far as I know.

Just because companies are legally capable of selling your browsing data doesn't mean that they absolutely will. As far as I know, my browsing history hasn't been sold by my ISP yet, and the regulations that were rolled back were not the reason why this is true.

Maybe I'm just posting because I like being a contrarian, but I do expect a more sober-minded commentary on this site than I've been getting on some recent news items.

If you're interested in the FCC's response, here is a primary source[0]. I don't buy most of it - I know that this is a lot of spin doctoring, particularly that second paragraph. But it provides insight to how the FCC is viewing this, something I haven't seen a lot of in this coverage.

Here[1] is some coverage from 2015 on the FCC/FTC issue that the third paragraph in that presser talks about. Also worth noting is this HN thread[2] from two years ago, where the top comment is a thoughtful critique of putting the hopes of an open Internet in the hands of a bureaucracy. People didn't agree, but that's the sort of commentary that keeps me coming back to Hacker News.
