I'd love to find out what SF Bay Area property owners who rent their properties out to others are doing with their extraordinary windfall profits. Are there any academic studies or reports that explore this question?
Launch VIC precludes funding anybody that could be funded by a commercial entity. My experience is LaunchVic is a system to fund NGOs and Universities that demonstrate minimal risk of making a profit.
What an awful article. Good to know putting Verilog on your resume is a Most Wanted thing! You can put it to use by becoming an intern /after/ you graduate with a CS degree.
But does it work in incognito ??
done - but it's also a more generic question for other sites. I remember when (maybe they still do) sites like facebook would ask for email name and password and then login to your email to get address of people to invite. I just moved to Dynalist from Workflowy and they have a option to import your workflowy data - you give your login username/password and it does it for you. etc.

I'm interested in it for hackernews - but I'm also interested if there are other guidelines/rules/examples for this kind of process in general.
Hah! Good one!

Nice try, Bezos!
Are they groups of friends or general interest groups? I created a fake profile where I just join groups I'm interested in, and it's worked pretty well. It's just about the only way I use Facebook these days - I only check my "real" profile once every 2-4 weeks for a minute or two to see if I received any messages.

The only downside is some groups won't accept you if you don't have any friends, but there doesn't seem to be many like that.
In theory it sounds very good to me. Site is down but overall idea is very sound. Don't give me more then I apsolutely need and let me take what I really need.
Engineering kindness – a programmer's view
In trying to understand the Compassionate Intelligent AI program by C.Mason, I wrote and got the code. In case anyone else is interested, the paper covers only parts of the system related to the concepts of compassion. The system is actually a hybrid system that can run computation on any kind of system, including sensing, classifier (machine learning), etc and supports running on other machines.
Ok. What about using inaccurate, subjective measures? How well does it model self-reported beliefs?

>BigCo's like Apple or Samsung are probably ARM partners, so no per-design/unit fees.

Nope, all ARM licensees pay a per-unit royalty, regardless of their partnership level[0]. Being the biggest might help Apple and Samsung negotiate a slightly lower royalty rate, but by the end of the day it's still at least 1% of the chip's selling price.

The Google TPU is designed as an ISA extension of RISC-V according to the paper, and David Patterson's heavy influence implies this as well.
Seriously? Who says that we have no choice but to compare ourselves with others?

Facebook is a great way to stay connected with old friends. There's a pleasant feeling about seeing how the people you once knew are doing these days.

If you do inevitably end up focusing more on the Maserati, the million dollar wedding, etc., then that's your problem. Your insecurity. Whenever I scroll past those things, I simply say, "Cool" and move on.

And to the people who stopped using Facebook altogether to help them concentrate better: Self-control. It's like how a lactose intolerant person blames the ice-cream in the freezer for making them eat it.
No. Don't change the question or introduce a red herring. Simply answer it: Do the top 25 hedge fund managers deserve more than all kindergarten teachers combine?

And to your "next up": No. Luck != deserve. That is essentially my point, and the implicit point of the OP. A primitive society leaves all to luck. An advanced, mature, fair society does its best to eliminate chance (e.g. insurance, the root meaning of which is precisely that). The lottery is a patently backward thing (the opposite of insurance) and I'm appalled that our state governments perpetrate and profit from such harmful and exploitative things.
It is - it's really based on trust. The truth is anytime you give any credentials to anyone, they can abuse it (to the extent the credentials allow.)

For services that don't have something like OAuth to give a token-based credential that is limited in scope/time, the only option is to give full access via username/password. The biggest risk here would be if the other site were to not only spam using the user's account, but hijack it completely changing the password or even the email account. With a token-based authorization, you can always revoke the token and never expose the authentication of the account.

But since the value of a hijacked hackernews account is relatively low, it seems to me people might be more likely to trust such a process (assuming it added value.) If it was malicious, it would be discovered relatively quickly and the ruse would be over, with little to nothing gained for the effort.
In business there is no "cheap" or "expensive". There is only "worth the money" or "not".
Many libraries and systems (e.g. Win32) just go with null-terminated strings and their functions don't accept a length argument at all - so I wonder if some people never store the length simply because they don't believe they'll ever need it.

"I don't like Google's CLA. "

This much is apparent :)

"This article spins it to make it sound like the CLA is there to make sure the code can be used under the Apache license"

Which it is.

", but what a CLA really does is shift blame away from Google to all of the external contributors."

Well, no, actually, it doesn't shift "blame" at all (and you aren't clear on "blame for what").

In fact, it's main goal is to protect the end users and the project.

"CLAs are one-way, for covering Google's ass. They do not benefit the contributors."

This first part is just flat out false.
If you read even the first sentence of each line of the CLA, you'll see it benefits more than just Google (and it only benefits Google at all because they are the ones taking on the liability), and benefits Google exactly as much as the end-users.
The second part is just silly, the goal of properly written CLA's is not to "benefit the contributors". What benefits do you think they need?

The goal of the CLA is to benefit the project, and make sure the project itself, and more importantly, the people who use the software don't get screwed, particularly if a contributor screws up.

So now i just think you read a blog post and think you agree with it, but don't actually understand the situation enough to articulate coherent arguments as to why.

"http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2014/06/09/do-not-need-cla.html"

I respect Bradley a lot, but on this subject, he is simply wrong in this situation. This is not entirely surprising. Bradley does not deal with a lot of communities that involve attempting to maintain patent peace among various corporations. He mostly deals with communities whose issues are copyright related, and where most situations can be dealt peaceably with by removing code.

In those communities, i think it would be reasonable to not give a crap about CLA's and to think they were a waste of time.

However, all the world is not that simple.

But seeming to seem is a form of seeming. And the only form of illusion I know of requires seeming: things seem one way but are actually another.

I simply do not understand what it means to doubt or deny that it seems like something is happening (though it's perfectly clear to me what it means to doubt that something is actually happening). When I see (and even accept) a proof of it, will I say "well it sure seems like something is happening, but I'm wrong, so it doesn't really seem like anything is happening?"

Perhaps my imagination is limited. I thank you for trying!

Right off the cuff, I can't get the :s command to work properly. Find ('/') command is sometimes funky too. Other things I've noticed is the buffer system (copy and paste) doesn't work correctly much of the time.

Other than that, I seem to remember having problems with some movement commands (screen forward I think), though that was probably due to the keybindings more than the extension itself.

I've scripted and dabbled in VIMs code before, your comment just motivitated me to actually submit bugs to the tracker and to try and fix them self!
The problem is that both AppArmor and SELinux[1] run applications unconfined by default.

Also, sandboxing GUI applications is more work than just slapping AppArmor or SELinux on top. First, users still expect to be able to open arbitrary files from their home directory (which would then be added on a case-by-case basis to the application's sandbox). Second, X11 does not provide UI isolation, so a sandboxed application can still read all keystrokes (and thus credentials). The Flatpak people realize this and are working towards the goal of eventually sandboxing GUI applications (on top of Wayland).

Apple actually nailed this pretty well. All applications in the App Store are sandboxed. If you open a file in such an application, the 'Open'-dialog runs out of process and links the opened file in the application's sandbox.

Unfortunately, there has been quite an organized campaign by a subset of macOS app developers to discredit the App store and especially sandboxing. Sure, it would be nice if macOS supported more fine-grained permissions and Apple has been slacking there. But for the end-user sandboxed App Store applications are much more secure than downloading unsandboxed applications from random developer sites. As this and previous incidents have shown.

Actually, it turns out that at the time you posted this, you couldn't even see the contents of my original post that was downvoted because it was flagged and hidden via the moderators, so I'm not sure how you can even comment at all on why it was downvoted in the first place.

I cut facebook out of my life three momths ago when I realized a pattern of my activities. Something hapened and I ranted there about my thoughts, others were offended ao they commented & we would fight not understanding each other.

Then I used to ignore them and continue.

Then one fine day, I sat on a bus, there was something going on about Kashmir and Indian military and I found that the guy next to me was also posting in a heated discussoon.

It was there that I figured out we are wasting time, we think our opinions matter, but they don't. Fb is just a waste of time. Of course, if you use it to stay in touch with frnds then it's a great tool, but there are other tools for that, if you can't get your friends on something say telegram's secret chat or signal (i hear it is peivacy focused) then it's a tragedy.

I have been living peacefully without fb/whatsapp.

Life is amazing when you realize the crazy volume of time we spend on whatsapp & the return on that time is nothing. We are superficially in touch with people

That's what I thought, until I discovered Fastmail. I'm now a happy family account holder, enjoying great support from human beings, and happy that my children won't be data mined for advertising (at least, not in this particular case).

I'm not kidding about the support either. One of their developers was on Github helping out with an issue on an open source tool that, in the end, proved to be a problem with their implementation of a protocol. Fix was in Fastmail staging a week later, and in prod a few weeks after that.
That's fine. I will literally give you $10,000 if¹ you can give me a MD5 preimage attack. Take your attack vector to be that particular md5sum that you are making fun of.

MD5 is not broken for the usage that you think it's broken for. Please don't snipe on things like this again. People like you who say things like "md5 is always bad" or "you should bcrypt, duh" are literally cargo culting the idea of computer security.

In addition to the fundamental technical deficiency you've demonstrated, people who opine on security threads while not quite understanding anything about computer security allow charlatans to sell "computer security". Every single comment like this lends credence to literal scam artists.

¹note, this is actually a prize for a weaker claim than an preimage attack; all I want is a second preimage (!)
Is the amount of attention this is getting commensurate with how interesting/surprising/consequential a security flaw it is?

New Zealand (or any other country) would like to say that you pay tax equal to some percentage of the profit on iPhones sold in New Zealand (or whatever country is trying to tax them). Apple would like to route the money around between its subsidiaries in order to say "well, we actually made zero dollars of profit from selling iPhones in New Zealand this year, so we won't be paying you any tax".

The fact that the money ends up in places where Apple pays very little tax or even zero tax on the profit is just rubbing salt in the wound.

This is the kernel of usefulness in the border adjustment tax Trump has tried to propose a few times. His version of it is way off from the original idea, but the original idea -- to replace "tax profit made here" with "tax sales made here" -- is sound. You can hide the existence of profit all sorts of ways, but it's much harder to hide the existence of a sale, and bordering on impossible to hide the existence of millions of sales.
I moved to FastMail lately and was pleased to discover that you could have some control over the spam filter[0], as well as useful advice:

Note: We recommend that you do not mark your Spam/Junk Mail folder to
automatically learn "As spam". This can create a false positive feedback loop.
Imagine an email is incorrectly classified as spam, put in your Spam/Junk Mail
folder, and then learned as spam. That means future emails that aren't spam are
now more likely to be incorrectly marked as spam, sent to your Spam/Junk Mail
folder, and learned as spam. Only mark folders to learn "As spam" if they're
folders you manually move email to.

Now on top of that say you're using a MUA and its own spam filter runs atop of that, and decides to move a couple of legit stuff to Gmail's spam folder, triggering the server-side spam learning process. Surefire way to screw the whole thing up (happened).

That's true. Safer than giving your data to Intuit or similar, for sure. Google is very unlikely to analyze your spreadsheet to understand what it's about.
Freedom is sometimes efficient enough that it costs nothing to have freedom.

Other times, there are real or artificial barriers that mean freedom has a cost. In those cases, someone has to bear the cost or forego freedom.

Why do you assume I'm American?

And yes, I do believe that Native Americans also have the right to self-determination. Funny thing though: I can express that opinion and not be jailed (or worse) in US.
That feels like basic functionality to me. You need a way to open programs/files at least.
As I've mentioned in my comment "thanks to various tax shenanigans the offshore tax bill might be artificially low". It would be up to New Zealand to investigate and make sure Apple pays it's due. But I don't see why US needs a slice of that particular pie.
Generally what people propose is some type of VAT or border-adjustment tax, which taxes on the value of goods sold in a jurisdiction rather than on profits realized from the sale.

The problem is many companies have gotten too used to being able to avoid taxation essentially at will, and would not take kindly to either having their products get more expensive (if they pass the entire cost on to the customer), which decreases their profits through reduced sales, or having their profits directly reduced by paying tax on sales. The tax rate they want is zero, and they've shown they'll go to extraordinary lengths trying to achieve it.
The refugee flow is only a rather recent phenomenon. US military action in the Middle East has been going on for much longer. Recall the first Iraq war.
China is now on its fourth political and economic system in the last century and a half. The present system is an accidental conglomeration of three quite contradictory philosophies: Confucianism, Marxism, and liberalism. It seems quite likely at some point it is going to prove unworkable.

The current system is working far better than the last few systems. Until 1985, China had regular famines. Now it has the largest GDP in the world.

One other thing that I kinda sorta like in GMail is labels (as opposed to folders). As I understand, it's not a popular feature, because there's no reliable way to map it to IMAP? So anything that assumes that IMAP (rather than a custom client or web app) will be used as a mail reader, will probably only provide folders.
A user of a free product telling the developer of said free product how the developer should be spending the money that said user isn't giving them takes a special kind of entitlement.

There is a very simple solution. Get a dev program membership. Sign and sandbox the application and make it available in the Mac App store for $1.99. People who want a signed, sandboxed Handbrake pay the equivalent of a cup of coffee. People who want to play Russian roulette can download Handbrake for free on the web page.

Given that Handbrake is extremely popular, that small fee will probably cover the $99 per year plus a Mac Pro (or two) within no time.
