TL;DR: that was a mistake in 1.0, and it was quickly removed in 1.1.

The #2 feature request was to show Chrome's Top Sites list somewhere on the page (you know, those sites Chrome shows by default on the New Tab page). So I implemented it, and that required a new permission called 'topSites' which sounded innocent, so I did it.

I guess I should've looked into the details, because I had no idea it would ask users to read all sites they've ever visited...all I needed to see were the top 8 (in order to show links, not harvest the data).

But still that's a no-no. I can see why it'd sound shady, and I'd be wary of granting such permissions myself. The people who wanted that top sites list will have to get by some other way.

In hindsight, I should've done more research before requesting the permission : / Lesson learned.
I still don't understand how the argument applies to Facebook photos. With Netflix we are talking about a requirement imposed by the people creating their content so my guess would be that the analogue in Facebook terms would be if users started not posting photos unless Facebook implemented drm but I don't really see the point of that analogy.
I'm already working on binary reversing. Got any advice on learning protocol reversing? I've been looking for a couple of years and I haven't found much.

Not at all. Imagine a person with a choice between working a $40,000/year job -- an amount higher than the average personal income -- or doing domestic labor.

Of the $40,000, the government will take some $10,000 in federal and state taxes, another $10,000 in disqualification from income-based social assistance programs and you lose another $10,000 to transportation expenses to get to the job. The domestic labor still needs to be done (and having your spouse do it instead is just square one), so now you need to hire a nanny, a housekeeper, a tutor and a landscaper and pay more to eat less healthy takeout food more often. While spending less time with your children and having a much less flexible schedule.

The people who choose differently are not inherently behaving irrationally or producing any inefficiency.

In my area and my industry, that would be impossible for me. Several people at my new employer would immediately recognize me and talk with several people at my former employer.
Right now it is a simple download from GitHub though I have already submitted a pull request to brew cask. Thank you for opening the issue which finally motivated me to do this.

The tool does work like a grid but with start and end positions instead of sizes so you can move and resize at the same time. ^1^3 is from position (1,1) to (3,1) (i.e. top row), ^1^6 is (1,1) to (3,2) (top two-thirds) etc. You can basically paint the location and size of the window using your numeric keypad. Its pretty straightforward once you try it.
The people buying the automation are generally not the users. Those with purchasing authority probably already have a somewhat stereotyped view of the workflow in question, so selling them a rigid version may be pretty easy. And taking autonomy away from the individual users might actually seem like a feature, not a bug.
Yes. While the engineering manager might desperately want you, legal/HR couldn't care less.

You can negotiate successfully with the former, but not the latter.
In the meantime, what are doing the FBI, the NSA, and other agencies that exist precisely to avoid that?
Initially the software will have been emailed to a user, once they open it it can use the worm effect to infect all other machines on a network. It takes one person to open the software, however it seems that they sent it to lots of addresses and so you only need one weak point(person) on a network and voila it can spread itself.
Thanks!

Like I said, it does sound reasonable but apparently it does add up. From the link:

"[Laura] Bush wrote that a bill came monthly, itemizing everything she and her family owed, including food, dry cleaning and hourly wages for waiters and cleanup crews at private parties."

"There were some costs that I was not prepared for," Bush wrote. "I was amazed by the sheer number of designer clothes that I was expected to buy, like the women before me, to meet the expectations for a first lady."

The secondary food/drink sources contain fluoridation because they're prepared using tap water. If you don't drink tap water, you'll still get some exposure but if you take the fluoride out of the tap water, you won't. If literally everybody brushed their teeth with fluoride toothpaste, I don't know if adding it to the water would still be worthwhile; it might be good for very small children before they have enough teeth to start brushing.

As already stated, fluoride is cheap and safe in the water. Other substances aren't cheap, have risk of overdosing (possibly only for people with sensitivities), or are readily supplied through diet. Some substances may also not be transportable through a water system because they too readily bind with others or don't remain in suspension long enough to reach your faucet.
You could say that but when it's impartiality to Russia or North Korea (not so much by Wikileaks, the MSM already covered that market) nobody gives a bleep, but when it's towards the USA it's suddenly questionable? Most of the world (including Wikileaks) is not the USA, and for them it's three external parties to look at from outside (and yes, hold a mirror to their own, if they're honest).

Yes RU/NK are doing worse things. But the USA just elected Trump. And unlike RU or NK, who sort of keep it to themselves, the USA's election spectacle has been broadcast on worldwide media, there was no escaping seeing the USA dig its way further down through rock-bottom every week, for over half a year. Everybody has been made to look and the USA's gov doesn't really look good or even sane at all right now, from any outside point of view.

Just a question, are they going to let Trump rule for these whole four years? Or will someone say "ok enough's enough, this guy is crazy as fuck, let's get rid of him"? Surely, before it's too late? How does this process work? AFAIR Clinton got impeached for way less than what Trump has already done on public record (not literally the same, but it's not far either, and frankly the other offenses--ignorance and stupidity in the light of global politics, not just a little, also not political-discourse "fake ignorance", he honestly doesn't seem to be aware of basic 20th century history facts--way worse from a political POV)

Sorry that's a bit off topic cause what you refer to is not really about Trump--much (it was about the elections a little, though). The point is, one of the largest powers in the world just put a crazy person in charge. Trump's probably not really dumb, no he's very savvy, but the people should expect more from their political leaders. It's not supposed to be an easy job.

I get the feeling that complaints about Wikileaks' editorialising also just contains a lot of saying what it is, and people don't like to hear that when it's about them. Because they love America. Thing is, it's not really about them, so don't worry. It's not like the people got a lot of democratic choice in the matter. Could they have done more? Maybe but the system's big and complex and controlled by other parties than the people. Even before, when it was between Hillary or Trump, you gotta wonder, out of all the population, were these the two best candidates in the country?
By "first-class", I really did mean "indistinguishable from the rest of the core of the language." Consider Monte:

def x :Int := 42 # evaluated statement
def ast := m`def x :Int := 42` # quasi-quoted Monte fragment
eval(ast, safeScope) # easy evaluation

Now, it happens that m`` is a library written in Monte itself, but that's unsurprising when you consider how much of the Monte compiler is also self-hosting. Since Monte is a complex and rich language, the homoiconic representation is equally rich:

def m`def @lhs := @rhs` := ast # pattern-matching!
[lhs, rhs] # [mpatt`x :Int`, m`42`]
Most companies are indeed not willing to discuss these things. If your stance is "be able to negotiate these standard contracts or walk away" you will be doing a lot of walking away.

In a world where employees have even an ounce of power, this might change, but we don't live in that world. Even in the software world, what new hire has any power whatsoever to negotiate their employment agreement? You're at your weakest: You have no track record yet at the company, few to no allies, and there is a line of other applicants out the door who would be thrilled to have your job offer. From the company's point of view, why should they bother with you if you're already being difficult?

Companies gifting money to people that did something useful to them is a big no-no from tax law viewpoint.

From the company financials perspective, it definitely is not a gift, it's payment for a service that they desired. Your motivation doesn't come into play here, the company's motivation does, since the question is whether they meet the tax reporting requirements. If you want to do it for fun, then you're free to decline the payment, but if they do pay you money then the tax code requires them to submit this information to IRS.

I think your point is probably closer to the truth. Musk's desire to travel to mars seems to stem from the fact that it's a pretty awesome, adventurous thing to do, so it's one that doesn't fade on some whims. Whatever people say about Musk, he undoubtedly is pushing humanity in a better direction so maybe we should leave him to it.
I'm curious: why would Qualcomm be obligated to license its chipsets to Samsung in furtherance of Samsung's goals of competing with Qualcomm? Can't Samsung just design its own chipsets? I'd love to have this explained to me. Presumably there's a reasonable explanation for this expectation, but it doesn't sound reasonable on the surface.
I find it funny how Intel claims it wants to compete on merrit in a market locked by Qualcomm, where this is an almost exact replay of the tricks they pulled in the late 1990s to mid 2000s.

I buy and sell on eBay, but I only sell things on it that I'm OK with losing without compensation, which generally means small items of moderate value that I am trying to get rid of to declutter. Low-value items get donated or trashed. Free or high-value items are given away or sold for cash through Craigslist or other in-person means. This has worked out pretty well for me so far.

To me that would be the final nail in the coffin. But then again, maybe the powers would be shifted from the person who runs the machines to the person who orders the engravings or the person who consults with promotion companies or to the one who opens up the possibilities of more complex engravings.
Schneier's Internet Security Agency – Bad Idea
It's kind of sad how people fail to realize how much of the modern technology they take for granted may not have ever been invented if it weren't for various space programs around the world.

Beyond that, I personally believe that NASA and the Soviet Space Program already saved the world once by allowing the US and the USSR to have a public competition in the midst of extreme nationalism. Without the space race, who knows if we would have been launching ICBMs instead of Apollos?

The CIA has invented an entire fake scientific field to cover this: manganese nodules deep sea mining (it is actually not commercially sustainable). More than that, they have posted hundreds of peer reviewed (and completely fake) papers to convince Russians that it is a feasible idea, so they launched their own deep sea mining programs (completely abandoned after the nature of the operation leaked).

From your comments in this thread, your understanding of first to file is incorrect.

First to file doesn't invalidate un-filed prior art or give it lower presedence.

First to file only really matters when there are overlapping patent applications. Basically a situation where one person files first but the other applicant claims they actually invented first but didn't publish the invention.

Had the person who claims they invented first published their invention, they'd have a year to file.

If that year was up, their prior art could still prevent the other applicant from being granted a patent the same as it would be under first to invent.

> Musk is without doubt a dazzling salesman. Who better than a guardian of human welfare to sell you your new, self-driving Tesla? Andrew Ng—the chief scientist at Baidu, known as China’s Google—based in Sunnyvale, California, writes off Musk’s Manichaean throwdown as “marketing genius." “At the height of the recession, he persuaded the U.S. government to help him build an electric sports car,” Ng recalled, incredulous.

Based on the TED talk [1], Musk seems to be proposing a scarce luxury transport solution. The Boring Company is an answer to the question, "What inconvenience do Los Angeles millionaires suffer daily?" And for this he is being elevated to no less than savior of humanity?

Lol...if you have not one but two competitors, both of which have market caps in the 12-digit range, complaining about some other company's (one with a mere 11-digit market cap) market domination, that isn't a monopoly, that's called competition. And if their complaint succeeds, that's not called capitalism, that's called crony capitalism.

Samsung has designed their own chipsets (Exynos series), but Qualcomm will only grant a patent license for them to use their chipsets as part of their own phones. They won't allow Samsung to sell Exynos chips to be used by other companies.

My point was about those agencies catching ransomware authors.
I think of the long term ramifications of it all. Eventually, the humans on another planet(s) will become kind of a different species. They'll view the universe and life differently than the humans on earth. Probably even look different after a long period of time.

That's why I badly want us to go out into space and colonize other planets. The modern world is flat and there isn't enough diversity in culture and ways of looking at the world. Having people on other planets will change this. (Theoretically)
Samsung is asking for a license to the patents, not any chipsets. It is required that the owners of standard essential patents license them under FRAND terms.

> But noone actually wants a "relevant timeline"

You are deeply incorrect about that, and the attachment to chronological timelines is probably what doomed Twitter for so long.

I absolutely want a relevant timeline. So do most people. Most people don't want to spend all day glued to Twitter to keep up with ongoing conversations. They want to be able to quickly open it and find content which intrigues them and doesn't confuse them.

Twitter listening too much to power users for years and years is what kept them from building products the masses could love.

It's insane to me that people on HN think chronological timelines are good. Should I have to read hundreds or thousands of posts a day (which is definitely how much content my friends produce) just to find the 5 or 6 which matter to me. Why wouldn't I want a machine to do that sorting for me?
It's not about licensing chipsets but standard-essential patents. Qualcomm lobbies to get their proprietary technologies in industry standards in exchange for fair licencing to competitors. Qualcomm is not upholding their side of the deal.
