I disagree that it's an awful example.

Lowering the cost of an MRI (regardless of whether you need any follow-up things that are not directly related to actually performing the MRI) is beneficial to consumers in every case.

Without the ability to shop, the MRI price stays high, and consumers end up paying more.
+1 for DO support!
I'm one of the few in the "tech world" that isn't so much pro-privacy. Google can read my email, Apple can track my movements, my Amazon Echo can even listen in when it wants. The end result is a huge benefit to me. How is any AI supposed to know what I want, if I try to be an anonymous user? I prefer targeted ads. I prefer submitting my information to "robots" in the hopes that my user experience is tailored to what I want. I see all of these articles on HN on how to break free from Google or some other eco-system because they're "evil." I dunno, I guess I don't have a CIA-level job that most of these commenters have where they need to be off the grid.

"Alexa, play me that song I like. And while you're at it, order me a case of my favorite beer. Thanks."
One facet that I think the site could add would be "expected time investment" for many of the steps. They sound simple as one liners, because in concept they are.

However, "Record yourself" can be quite a bit of time and review and re-doing - three times for a 30 minute speech is 90 minutes. That's a lot of talking!

The layout and structure of the advice provided is quite good, and I think it's a great reference point. As somebody who has been half-naked and tied up in front of about 10 people for the sake of making a student film, it helps reset the concept of performance a little.

Those permissions are also opt-in for devs at the moment (by choosing certain OS versions at build time you can still use the old permissions system).

I'm an Android dev and to me the biggest problem with Android from every aspect (development, security, monetization) is how poorly new versions of Android are supported on devices.

Apple's dig at Android 7 usage vs iOS 10 usage was spot on.

My question was related to aquifer depletion. Some deserts have great soil, but there isn't enough water to grow anything, try to dig a well and the well will go dry.

Contaminants are a valid question too though.
It's not just being trained longer, that in itself isn't too much of a worry, but rather the issue is that they aren't very good even after retraining, object detection accuracy is essentially the cost of extreme quantization.

For example, see Deephi's presentation at HotChips.
Oh, absolutely. I'd even expect them to be whitelisted by default (although that would pose the interesting problem of deciding which sites deserve the privilege of being whitelisted out of the box).
Snap is basically the only social network I use at this point (except IRC, if you count that), mostly because it's fairly trivial and fun (same as IRC :).

Take stupid pictures, draw stupid crap on top, send it to a "chat room", forget about it forever. To me SnapChat is a chat app with some cool multimedia features. I never ever use stories (the feature Instagram has notoriously cloned). Other than marketers, who is using stories? Very few of my friends do.

Instagram seems like douchey lifestyle porn to me. For example, the presence of "likes" is very off-putting to me. I can't be the only person with this brand association.

They definitely still do have videos. I use OCW quite a bit. Producing the videos, formatting, distributing, and hosting them is more expensive then going without them so sometimes they go without them.
Most free video lectures throughout the web have been removed due to lawsuits against the institutions for not providing subtitles for the disabled.
I just came across another article that talks about alternatives for doing what Heroku does, and it's from a Heroku consulting company: https://semaphoreci.com/community/tutorials/creating-a-herok...

It seems like there's a lot of discussion recently about Heroku alternatives.

I wouldn't say those discussions have as much to do with Heroku's limitations as much as they have to do with all the details and complications technology companies encounter as the bulk of adopters continue moving to the cloud.
I think many Apple users would be happy if only Siri could answer factual questions objectively and follow a conversation, being happy with a minimum of privacy collection like current location, name of spouse for messaging, etc.

While some may prefer a knowledge about you or you via people like you, as in, "Please recommend me a great movie", Siri is currently not in a stage where she may tell you stuff like "How do I mix a White Russian?" Google Assistant give me 6 steps with a photo and a follow up question "What about Screwdriver?" Siri gets utterly wrecked in the knowledge based questions.

I think the main problem is not privacy-related, but knowledge base-related. Google is building upon a fricking huge search engine via a knowledge graph and the sky is the limit for how well an AI can do. Apple is building on what, a shut down Ping social network, Apple Music listening habits, Wolfram Alpha hopes if all else fails, and a sparse Bing Search API if that failed too?
>but demands are easy to underestimate

Certainly during the USSR's time. But now you could issue every citizen a smartphone through which they could register their demand.

>the optimization then will lead to planning only for the type of production that can ensure basic survival and not much more.

Sorry, but I'm not seeing how this follows logically.
There are a couple things that all these "death to word processors" articles overlook:

1. Stickiness.

Google Docs (and even Microsoft Word) work so well when you use them in conjunction with their respective ecosystem. Many users choose Google Docs over Dropbox Paper simply because they already have Google Apps accounts, even though as a product what they really want is something more like Dropbox Paper.

Inevitably, what happens is that those who can try out a new product on a small team do so, but those who are forced to work between teams or even between companies choose the solution they're already using; i.e., the stickiest.

2. Plain text is powerful

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but each new "office productivity" or "word processor replacement" tool comes with it's own silo. Even Microsoft Word, which has it's own file type that you can save to your Desktop, is largely a proprietary format. You can export data out of Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, etc., but the idea is that you're leaving the promised land. You're packing up and moving somewhere else.

On the other hand, we know from the Unix philosophy that plain text is a universal interface. Using plain text can help us escape these siloes. The problem, of course, is that from grade school we teach students that to edit text we use Microsoft Word.

There are a lot of cool new products in this design space of "word processor replacements," but few which tackle these two fundamental issues.
It is pre-installed on every android device. It's also advertised(freely) on some of the largest internet sites in the world (Google, Youtube).
Nice demo. I wonder if it handles tables, images. How is the document stored? Can it import text-based formatted files (eg: RTF)? Is there a Windows version?
>Apps like Lyft, Yelp and Uber already know where you are so you can't use those.

Only when you use them.

You can either not install them at all (problem solved).

or only allow them to "know your location" when you explicitly launch them and only for the duration of you actively using them on screen (problem lessened).
"This is how bad it is -> When Microsoft released Windows Vista in 2007 it was 64-bit and also ran all 32-bit programs flawlessly. So at that time I was baffled why Microsoft ALSO released Windows Vista in 32-bit only mode – a version that refused to run any 64-bit binaries."

For what it's worth, at that time, a lot of computers were still being sold with 32-bit only processors or an inadequate amount of RAM to handle 64-bit Windows. I can't count how many machines I saw sold with Vista and 1 GB of RAM. This actually became the subject of a class action lawsuit: https://www.slashgear.com/acer-offers-to-settle-vista-class-...

It also makes sense supporting those users upgrading their computer to the newer, more secure OSes. So I can see why Microsoft wants to continue to make 32-bit builds people can upgrade to for a number of years. I suppose the only real mystifying question is when doing a fresh install of Windows, it would allow you to ever select 32-bit. If the installer detects adequate system resources for 64-bit, that's what it should install.
I don't think the company makes any secret of operating in any city. As far as I know they are quite public and let elected officials know they are going to operate in their city. This means that the city can quite trivially subpoena the company once it starts operating. The drivers are just trying to earn a living. So basically the company was practicing civil disobedience, but was kind enough not to try and keep individual drivers just trying to make a living out of it.
TBH this seems like the best option. I don't think my mind is actually nervous. I know my material, I'm happy to share it. It's the stupid lizard brain thinking I'm about to fall off a 100ft cliff and cutting off the blood supply to my brain and giving me dry mouth and deregulating my diaphragm. It's a STRONG physiological response, but I think without those physical effects and feedback loop I'd be fine.

"saying it "requires unsafe" does not imply it can blow up in your face"

Good argument. If you advise someone to use unsafe the responsible thing to do is explain precisely what the consequences are besides "it's faster."

Re Crashplan & NAS... I've managed to get NAS back up to work. Are you certain on this point? I am going to double check my set up.

I have the MacOS CrashPlan client configured to back up a variety of NAS shares when the NAS is powered on and the share is mounted. Only about 4 shares, and I made a point to mount them and leave them mounted until the sync completed.

The shares are cold storage, so once synced, they stay virtually unchanged.

While I'd concur in your skepticism about voice specifically, I still think documents are becoming increasingly multimedia, with elements such as video, interactive elements, graphs and tables etc, and I feel like traditional word processors, which are the go-to tool for many people for authoring, are woefully inadequate to handle such rich documents.
> Fair enough, the common case is minification and concatenation. Or what else is it? The problem with the semicolon remains.

If it is minification, then you already have a tool that process the code.
The tool can easily just add the missing colon before concatenation.
MS Word exports RTF, which is a pretty powerful plain-text format. Our application generates RTF with some fairly sophisticated features (bold, italic, indented paragraphs, footnotes, images, index, vector graphics) and MS Word imports it flawlessly.
Ah, so that would make my estimate ~100x. Thanks
"Hayek says that central planning of an entire economy results in dictatorship"

Is there a tool that can sync bookmarks and addons across browsers? Especially now that Mozilla is going to support the same addons? Something that syncs things on an ongoing basis, not just once. I think FF is great but asking people to use more than one browser, yet manually sync the bookmarks and addons is asking for way too much. Even just for bookmarks this would be great. The functionality is 99% of the way there (one time sync works). Personally, I just think Mozilla no longer cares if people use its products. If it did, it would make using them a lot easier and more convenient.
i have seen hn commenters praise apple for "taking a stand on privacy". but how can anyone believe that when they collect so much personal data about the people who purchase their hardware? the old apple did not do this.

1. collecting data on users for months and years after purchase, 2. storing it electronically on remote computers, 3. some connected to the internet. yes, this surely points to a company is concerned about user privacy.

if something goes wrong can you sue apple?

we should expect every hardware vendor from laptop mfrs to the rpi foundation to be silently collecting data from their customers long after the merchandise is purchased. they need to do this, because...

wtf?

1. collecting data on consumers and 2. storing it online.

#1 is incompatible with a pro-consumer stance on user privacy.

#2 is a guarantee that others besides the company are going to get that data, whether the consumer is told about the breach or not.

Although one might argue that there's something seriously wrong with your website already if it doesn't work without video playing in the background.

According to the article, blacklisting (or lack of whitelisting) is also easy to detect by handling the Promise rejection, which means you can easily provide a static fallback for video that's used purely decoratively.
You can do similar things on Android. You can also turn off your gps in 2 seconds as well.
I see it this way too. For way too many people privacy seems to have turned into a kind of religious end in and of itself. I think evaluating privacy in real, material terms as in ("what actually happens to me if I gave up my privacy here, and what do I get?") makes more sense than treating it as quasi sacred.

I think this is a really interesting idea, and I would love to see it tried in a modern government. There are a lot of potential problems, but possibly less than those involved with voting.
I imagine there are some testable hypotheses around this very interesting question.

1.) What, if any, of mathematics has been invented concurrently in different regions (say within 10-20
years) without collaboration or knowledge of other derived work?

2.) To what extent is the rate of mathematical development associated with war or advances in knowledge sharing? Be it radio, printing press, persuing weapons development, crypto, or mass migration (eg post ww2).

I think 1.) comes about via natural scientific progress. Some mathematical ideas are dependent on the right set of tools being invented or environmental necessity. How many people independently came up with ballastics equations once soldiers starting flinging big rocks at each other?

The 2.) Question is very interesting to me. What is the network effect of mathematicians sharing ideas? What happens when the 10 smartest mathematicians in the world end up all working at the same elite university? Why isnt this just accelerating mathematical progress in the 21st century? Are breakthroughs harder now? Does the internet and peer review journals provide too much noise? Or is it simply that progress is so fast now we don't think of these things as extraordinary ?
Is #5 really happening?
In 2013, I got taste and aroma for around 1100 wines. I used the data to create flavor profiles and predict the price based on the chemical composition. In general, more expensive wines are more complex and the predicted price matches the actual price quite well. This breaks down on the extremes. Boxed wines such as Franzia and Vella are under priced. Not by much, but their juice is closer to 4-5 dollar bottled wines. At the time of the calculation a bottle of Franzia was around 2 dollars. So, it's a pretty good deal. On the other side, most new world wines over 35 dollars are over priced. There's nothing chemically different to the the wines just below 35 dollars. There were a few wines in the middle that were way off. I remember a Clos Du Bois was under priced by 7 dollars, but most of them were in the right range. The biggest offenders were wines that built their reputation in a well known appellation and moved a level higher. It's very common for wines to start in Sonoma Coast or Carneros and end up with a California appellation.
Surely you just take an existing LISP implementation and call "reverse" at the correct location in the code? :p
>(i.e. sells their customers' data to advertisers)

They take the ads, and distribute them to their users based on user taste that's their secret sauce. Giving user data to advertisers would be giving away their secrets I think.
The problem is not the utility these services provide -- which I agree scales with the amount of data you can give them! -- but rather the use of this private information in a number of ways (legal or not) that provide no benefit to the user, and in fact can be considered downright dangerous to the user.

This, I believe, opens the door for a company like Apple or otherwise to create a machine learning company with security at the forefront -- in essence, what if these useful machine learning models you use everyday were able to be locked down, so the personal data used by the model was only viewable by you, and NOT an employee of the machine learning company who produces said model?

(EDIT: A few word choice changes)
That makes sense. In particular, the minimum price is always wildly better because of the serverless model (metered, like S3), but you still want to see where you will be at with bursts and such, or compare to a static Postgres or DynamoDB cluster at expected load.

A lot of the benefit comes from not having to manage capacity up and down in the first place, though. Even if other systems let you do it quickly you still have to either predict or react to your load "by hand".
Towards a Safer Footgun
Hence the "ideologically pure" caveat; there is a fascinating subset of kibbutzim which make enough money to essentially function as post-scarcity economies (making things like Humvee armor add-ons for the Americans, or high-end vending machines for e.g. movie rentals). Those have been able to stay ideologically pure by being more effective players in a capitalist system [1], and once they reach that state they are able to maintain it through social forces.

[1] which of course creates some serious cognitive dissonance for all involved
I believe you are correct in your understanding. Mine was a little different. I thought this was a classic asymmetrical routing scenario on the Internet with a cool eavesdropper twist.

I'm assuming that because the sat system broadcasts unencrypted, you can sniff all the packets for all hosts on that network just like you can on a wifi network with the proper promiscuous mode receiver. An unencrypted shared broadcast medium.

So packet flow is routed inbound from victim as such

(victim SYN to decoy IP) to (internet) to (sat broadcast to geographic area decoy and attacker C&C)

But packet flow outbound from C&C to victim is handled differently via landline

(spoofed decoy IP) to (landline/internet) to (victim)

So packets come in via sat link but go out via spoofed source on a landline.

Some portions of the bible were written by a scribe who took dictation. Sometimes they took the pen to write something important in their own hand, (normally a closing), but most of it was not written this way.

>a decent WAF will detect this.

Nope, nope, and nope. In a DOM based attack via a GET request, an attacker can place the payload after a hash (the pound, ergo anchor reference): http://foobar.whatever/foo?bar=tender#<XSS VECTOR>

No browser sends either # or anything after it to the server, thus the only way to detect this attack is to have some active script in the DOM which sends the document.location to the server but of course if the attacker knows about that and if they can get to the DOM before that script, well, it's over.

Social networks are just a mechanism for sharing stuff. Fake news could spread any which way, and has even in the pre-social-network-era. Remember when "fake news" was spread in email chains? Or...you know...propaganda in general?

Edit: that said, I think there exists a big problem in attempting to filter these items. How do we determine what is fake vs what simply goes against our preexisting (mis)conceptions?

Edit 2: best course of action might be that a wide diversity of ideas gets a chance to be seen (i.e. show stuff outside of your bubble), rather than trying to artificially manipulate proliferation.
