It frustrating. I tried to get a legit app through the app store that had a link to our website where people could sign up. The iOS app is for customers with accounts, so it made sense to us to have a link where users could see our website (discover our Saas product and sign up). Apple repeatedly rejected it since they wanted their 30% cut of our revenue. So we now have to make it clear in our description that this app if for current customers only.

However, these scamming apps make it through.

I mean that I subscribe to the feeds of the media that I find useful, not that I follow their hot topics or suggested feeds.

And many of those media sites use Instant Articles (Facebook's AMP) and honestly I've found that I greatly prefer them, because it really sucks to click a story and have an abomination that grinds my device to a halt, starts a hidden autoplay video, etc. The same forces are at play: Controlling sites that destroy the web by making it such a miserable experience.
Yeah, but I didn't point out what mysql should have done in an alternative universe. Mysql DOES support fixed lenght unicode, just use the correct encoding: ucs2 or utf32. What it does with utf-8 is what any system that supports utf-8 must do.

You do understand why, right?

Your solution is "The other teams will improve!" and you're citing the Cav's improbable record setting game as evidence?

Sorry, but it takes a certain willful ignorance, or looking the other way, to defend the state of the NBA.
Meeting Snowden [video]
I do use Google, although I don't search for news much. I usually find NYT, Guardian etc articles from their homepages.
Sorry I haven’t got around to writing it yet as I have been too busy with work - actually I have not written an article on anything this year.
Little known fact: sometimes the other exchanges in area code 710 will translate to places going to military bases and such, depending on the time of year. The best way to tell is by calling 710-867-5309. If you get a recording saying "You are using <long distance provider>" followed by a not in service recording, well, it worked. If you'd care to look around random exchanges and thousand blocks, you might be in for a fun day. Or a knock at your door.

But yeah - it's all the luck of the draw. Some phone people have had varying levels of luck with other things involving that area code as well: http://www.binrev.com/forums/index.php?/topic/48478-weird-71...
Yes and suppose I have a magic spell, the incantation of which just requires sacrificing a few children, then it will get rid of all the evil in the world. Good or bad?

Your scenario is way too terse to yield some actual insights and honestly seems aimed for a particular outcome. Questions that remail open, e.g.: What kind of crime? How can the governments get rid of crime using data alone? What side-effects does the data-sharing have? Are those side-effects less or more severe than the crime used to be? Can you know all potential side-effects for the future? there other approaches to solve the crime problem?
Ask HN: Is software engineering the same as dev ops?
I started work at a financial institution a few weeks ago. The position I applied for was called "Software Engineer Internship -- 2017". I was pretty excited when I got an offer, because they do some pretty interesting work.

Unfortunately, I started and was immediately assigned to a dev ops project (they called it an "automation" project) that basically just runs a bunch of command-line scripts to set up the environment needed to run part of their stack. Worse, the existing state of the project was what I would call 'abandoned', and no one really knew how it worked (not to mention that the project was pretty throughly broken).

I'm really upset by this, and I'm wondering if "software engineering" and "dev ops" are usually used interchangeably like this. I have what I think is a decent amount of software engineering experience (relatively speaking as an undergrad) from a few start-ups and large-scale projects, so I definitely was looking for more of a challenge than some set-up scripts.
If you are on HackerNews, you probably aren't the typical internet user. I bet my 60 year old mom clicks on tons of ads without even knowing it.
I was considering it based on positive feedback for a bootstrapping project where cleanslate hardware, software, compiler, and/or interpreter are done simple as possible to mske root of trust. Far as hardware, I was looking at Forth, JOP (Java) or Wirth's RISC as lowest layer with simple language targeted to it.

You're endorsement adds extra corroboration it might be useful for that. Also, if they keep it simple, might be able to use the FOSS tools like Qflow and ABC.

Right, it becomes less about individual chips' TSVs vs logic in DRAM, and more about the scalability of the architecture. In the marketplace right now, the trend for these TSV/interposer/multi-die sorts of devices is in "fat node" designs, instead of more on-board distributed designs.

Logic on DRAM should be simpler & cheaper, which would in the long tail lend itself to more horizontal scaling (and horizontal scaling is currently required to get large memory footprints economically). More elaborate & expensive designs would end up more in fat node designs. There's really no technical difference when looking at many-chip architectures as the chip package is a black box at that level, but it's more an economic one.
In many lines of business, retailer profit margins are so thin that it doesn't really matter. But let's suppose it does.

Growing up, we had some family friends who were local business owners, albeit in the service industry.

The first place money will go is the local housing market. As a renter, this is incredibly destructive. If shopping at national chains reduces what my competitors can bid, all the more reason to do it.

The next place it'll go is luxury SUVs. As a (sometimes motor)cyclist, it might help me to get more drivers into Volvos with their safety sensors, though I do prefer to share the road with smaller vehicles. Neutral on this one.

Then it'll go to international travel. None of that money is local.

Then it'll go to investment accounts at national brokerages into multinational stocks on New York-based exchanges.

As far as I know, there is no forum where the local computer parts store proprietor and grocer invest in each other. Maybe some local philanthropy - they might be at Rotary together - but most of the philanthropy around me was driven by the handful of national companies headquartered locally.
The content Part II has always been part of both the original college course and the accompanying book and website. The coursera lectures for Part II were released this year.
Goes against the notion of decentralized web.

The content that user gets on their browser is cached content hosted on Google's servers.

The URL that is shown in the location bar is `www.google.com/amp/<site>`.

The rapid adoption is primarily due to fear of being left behind in Google's search ranking.

As the blog states, it drives mobile views away from the site whose content is being shown (some call it stealing).

On occasions I've seen more "Suggested Content" on an AMP page than the actual site.

From what I've read, AMP came as a response to Facebook's instant articles not primarily driven from user needs.
That's the trojan horse though. Google pushes the performance aspects of AMP, when I suspect that's not the killer feature for them. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14529605
No, the claim is "most software developers do not exhibit autism symptoms". It was made without supporting evidence.
>This is certainly not true.

Oh but it's entirely true. If you buy the conspiracies and allusions of the anti-AMP crowd, there should be some sort of citation you can leverage. As is, the primary real concern among those who denounce AMP is that users will prefer it. Which is a pretty bizarre thing to fight against.
Interesting! I was wondering what the reason was. My first instinct was to assume the developer just used Google Translate or something like that and perhaps not being an English speaker was bad at spelling too. But based on your comment I am not intrigued with the possibility of it being a deliberate tactic.

>Why can't you get a firearm and just aim for the assailants legs?

Because real life doesn't work like the movies. Doing this in a home invasion situation might get you or others killed.

That isn't to say you can't warn the burglar(s) should it be safe to do so, but generally speaking if you're pointing a weapon at someone, the only valid reason is because you're prepared to deliver shots to center mass and kill them.
Heavy strength training, especially deadlift, undoubtedly affect my sleep even if I exercise in the morning. At night would make it impossible to sleep. Eating more seems to help, but I definitely sleep worse or less on those days.
With this sort of heat release rate and amount of combustible material, fire doors alone are useless. Even if the fire doors miraculously remain intact and gastight, the walls and doors will eventually conduct enough heat to make the temperature in the fire refuges untenable for human life.
The class focuses on CPU design using NAND gates. These are simulated in software logic simulators. However, there are people who have built working architectures from the class using FPGAs. No word on whether anyone has rebuilt everything using discrete 7400 gates.

Sorry, last year we've seen how several large car makers have had systematically undermined environmental regulations for years. That does not exactly inspire a lot of faith regarding self-policed, "we'll promise really really hard" privacy policies to me.

"The big question is: do they actually take you all the way to Tetris?"

In Part II, when they introduce the java like programming language, the assignment is to write a game. One can write whatever game they wish. Tetris is one possibility. I myself wrote Tetris so I know it is possible, and it is possible to implement using the architecture developed in the class. However, not everyone is forced to implement Tetris at that point. They have the freedom to choose other classic games, or even new games if they wish.

After this assignment comes both the full compiler and the implementation of the operating system.

Shotgun with non-lethal loads.
There's a large variety of ammo they make for shotguns.

The nice thing about a shotgun is a large amount of energy is transfered into the person. Unlike a hardball bullet from a rifle that may go straight through like a hot knife through butter. There are special rounds for rifles designed to fragment and dump all the energy into the person (but these are lethal).
Yet another troll bait.
It warns about police checkpoints as well.
Burglars generally want two things- get your stuff and get out.

I suggest if they've taken it as far as breaking into your house, and you can't scare them away (maybe something that _sounds_ like a shotgun getting cocked), you let them get away.

(Burglary implies you're not home- this is more robbery and home invasion at this point).

Losing a $3000 laptop is substantially cheaper than a $30,000 hospital bill and ambulance ride after you get lacerated from the knife they're carrying. If you're having trouble with the math, consider that you lose the $3000 laptop in both cases.

That's also assuming you're not more seriously injured or killed by trying to impede them. What multiple of $3000 is your life worth to you?

The app store guidelines very clearly prohibit what you tried to do, and it's been well-known that this is prohibited for many many years.

If you want to be able to get new users with your app, you need to provide an IAP subscription option.
I know that there are some laws preventing businesses with a market monopoly from abusing that monopoly through patents. This is one reason why patent trolling entities exist: you can sell your patents to a 3rd party who will then go after your competitors.

I would love for a real lawyer to explain this tortured logic.
Fog-based pepper spray (5mil SHU), a loud speaker playing a pack of dogs getting closer, a mega phone to tell them to leave, and a taser if the first three don't work. Some cameras outside to see it coming or verify intruder is going away. A safe room similarly equipped for your family with good door and lock. A cell phone to call it in. A lawyer on retainer in case it goes to court.
>And I think that's the main difference between our viewpoints. Personally, I'm not ok with a company having so much information about me just for the sake of convenience. I'd rather have to write my own scripts to scrape through news feeds or just continually check blogs that I like rather than a company having all that data about me.

This is a fair view to hold (I think the rest of your post goes off into slippery slope land, but its based on a realistic fear), but at the same time, I think you need to be aware that you (or I) won't be able to recreate some of the things that these companies can do, no matter how much time or effort we invest.

Its also worth realizing that you're essentially stating that these experiences should be inaccessible to those who are nonexperts. That is, if in your perfect world, MiGooBookZon doesn't exist, and you make due with a set of scripts that you wrote that scrape some RSS feeds you care about and order articles based on some ratings you hardcoded for personal use, where does that leave all of the people who don't have the technical chops to write a set of personal scripts to scrape the news sources that interest them?
If RISC has so many benefits, then why do high performance computers use Xeon?
Sure, Google can monetize from these products. But they don't seem to choose to capture those values yet, as long as "Don't be evil" credendum still holds.
So just to clarify, because a different company, in a different industry, did something illegal that had nothing to do with privacy, you don't trust privacy policies?
Taking Your Startup to the Next Level
I CANT STAND sites that do that. At a minimum it's frustrating because I tend to hit it accidentally. Then there's the infuriating fact that it messes with the system back/forward gestures on iOS. Of course every website does something different so it's not really something you can actually learn to use.

Worst of all I was on the website the other day where I couldn't use pinch to zoom without it moving me to a different page. It was literally impossible to zoom into the content.

I can't stand all these things where websites seem to try to invente the features that are already built into mobile phones. "Will make a bar that makes it easy to share this!" I can ALREADY share things easily on my phone. And it doesn't waste 10% of my screen at all times. Also, I can configure at the way I want.

First, I am an American and often walk to stores so your mileage may vary. However, items also get shipped to stores so it really depends, but if your walking to the store it's a likely a fairly meaningless difference.

Buses are generally considered efficient, but items are often vastly smaller than people which shifts things again. Moving 100+ pound people is simply less efficient than moving sub 1 pound objects.

It may come down to packaging which seems to be in favor of going to the store. But, Amazon packaging does not need to look good or be tamper resistant and can thus often avoids using a lot of clear plastic on some items etc.

In the end it's a surprisingly complex optimization problem. Made worse when you consider the vast overhead of physical stores which must be cooled/heated/cleaned and have a wide selection on hand etc.

I was an early bitcoin miner. I sold a bunch of coins over the years, but still holds a significant stash of them. None of the numerous bubbles and crashes scared me. $30 down to $2, $260 down to $50, $1200 down to $200. Meh I have seen it all. I have been a huge believer in bitcoin since the beginning. Today 85% of my wealth is still in bitcoin, 5% in alts, and 10% in index funds and real estate. Before that I was a software engineer. Materialistically my life hasn't changed much. Ok I paid off the mortgage on the house, bought a nice car, some gadgets. But that's it. However mentally my life has changed a lot. I quit my job and spend time with family, traveling... Now I'm an entrepreneur working on scratch-my-itch project ideas.
The argument that swipe behavior should be entirely within the control of the publisher feels like an oversimplification. Plenty of UI elements are designed to work at a higher level of scope than the document: back, bookmark list, [X] button, home button, etc.

You make it sound like corporate censorship is without consequences, but it isn't. You can push back against it, you can pick a different platform in protest.

Governmental censorship is a problem because you can't easily switch governments, plus there's things like charters and constitutions that are put in place to prevent it. Corporations have not adopted this sort of thing, at least not yet.

The problem with the App Store is it's similar to a retail chain. Is it "censorship" that Wal-Mart won't carry your product? Is it "censorship" that McDonald's doesn't sell Whoppers? The same people that argue for freedom in app stores would be railing against the government if there was some mandate that Wal-Mart allow anyone to sell any product.
I actually find DDG results to be better and more relevant a lot of the time nowadays. The only thing Google really has an edge on (for my use) is searching for academic articles, because of Google Scholar.

I highly recommend the book "Master Switch" by Tim Wu on this topic. (https://www.amazon.com/Master-Switch-Rise-Information-Empire...).

It argues that every information networks in the history-
telegraph, telephone, radio, cable - follow the pattern of consolidation and disintegration. The new inventions always had the chance to disrupt the old industry, but our modern network - the Internet - might be an exception. Because the Internet is the master switch of all things digitized.

In this context it means preserving the default behavior of running the command specified in the image as PID 1, and not injecting any extra processes in the namespace. The difference in the runtime environment is subtle, but some applications rely on it. If we changed this default those applications would behave differently after upgrading to Docker 1.13 or later.

Yes, I did mention how Google hijacks the back button on AMP pages as well. The point being that AMP is a walled garden to serve Google's needs...not an honest effort to make sites perform better.

You mention the [X] button. How many end users do you suppose think that the [X] on the AMP header bar should make the header bar go away...versus functioning like a back button, going all the way back to the google search? I suspect they are conditioned by things like the EU cookie warnings that an [X] on a header bar makes it go away.

An AMP page you reach from a Google search is Google's page, period. It's not the publisher's page. And that's no accident or side effect. It's the whole point. Performance is a secondary concern.
But that's not what I asked. Let's assume for a moment that you trust google completely, and believe that they won't do anything untoward with your data on their platform. But we all know that google gives some data to advertisers. I'm asking what you think that data is, hence I asked

>I'm just curious, what data do you believe google gives to advertisers?

It sounds like you're saying that Google has a lot of information on you, which is probably true, but how much of that gets given to third parties? (and if you're claiming that the information you described is given to third parties, I'm confident that you're mistaken).
Do not seek so anxiously to be developed, to subject yourself to many influences to be played on; it is all dissipation. Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights.
