In general, any game that has a manufactured annoyance that can be bypassed immediately by paying money/watching an ad.

Usually achieved by a stamina system (You can play up to 5 levels in 30 minutes, or play another immediately by paying), balancing play so playing without "Premium" items feels sluggish and uncompetitive (but not so sluggish that the game is unfun), and having a lot of gambling style elements to overcome the first two (No gems?

> If the video follows you down the page in a paused state, with thumbnail and "play" icon, would this be okay?

Absolutely not. If the video is useful content, put it front and center, and let the user hit "play" on it; if they scroll it away, accept that they don't want it. If it's unrelated content (as with the thousands of "news" sites that want to autoplay an unrelated "hey look at this completely unrelated garbage" video), put it under a "related stories" column or similar, and stop making it jump around the page to draw attention. The user is already on the page they wanted, their attention is exactly where they want it to be, and your job is to serve them what they want, not what you want.

"Engagement" might be easy to measure (hey look, if we pester the hell out of users we get a few more users who accidentally watched the video), but the much better metric for long-term sustainability is "how many users love your site and think 'this is awesome'".
How about showing the content paused with an overlay "Click to start playing" or similar?
I appreciate that perspective. Sometimes "emotions and crystallizing" can be enlightenment in the Buddhist sense. You need to understand and accept suffering to alleviate it.
I'm not judging if the case has merit or not, I'm not a lawyer, however one could argue that Android is a monopoly, iOS isn't.
Neither nuclear bombs or silly putty enabled the mass delivery of food and goods everywhere in the country, and for people to live outside of tiny apartments in congested cities in smaller towns and rural areas offering clean air, big yards, and more access to the outdoors.

The fact that Americans have substantial increased their average living space and comforts is directly correlated with the spread of automobiles. The massive increase in food production is entirely caused by automation from the invention of farming equipment running off internal combustion engines.
> You also realize the top 50% of income earners in the US pay 100% of the taxes. You also realize the top 10% earners pay 37% of the income taxes.

Yes, this is the entire point of tax brackets.

Depends a lot on market share as well. Google can now ruin you on Android too, as if G search wasn't enough. With power comes responsibility, tomorrow they'll ban something else.

Language acquisition. Sure, parents will point at an object and say, "Ball", "Chair", "Food", etc. But they don't do this for the conjunctions and interjections and prepositions. Nor for most of the 10,000 words a child will learn in the first few years of life.

Children learn the rules of grammar long before they realize there are any rules at all. Tenses and plurals, etc.

>> The trouble I have is that "modeling" can happen in the absence of what I'm calling "experience."

> This is the big claim. I'm highly skeptical.

Sure, it depends on what the word "modeling" means. The way I've always used it, it applies to lots of existing systems, including robots. Are they conscious? Maybe. I don't know. It seems easy to build a very simple system that trivially "models" itself. Does that mean it's conscious?

> As another angle, this seems closely related to identity.

As it happens, (lack of) identity is a critical realization on the Buddhist path (among others). If we look carefully enough, we can't find one. Instead, we find something like this. Take a perception like sound. Instead of discovering a self that hears it, it's more like the sound itself is made of the sheer fact of subjectivity; i.e., "made of" consciousness. There is no "I" that is conscious (though of course the concept still remains useful). Instead, consciousness is that property which [everything I could possibly call or think of as] the world is "made of."

> Meditation is very interesting. I've done some, and I'd like to dig into it more. However, I interpret the experience differently.

That's fair. There are different ways and degrees of doing it.

Ultimately, I think the distinction comes down to whether we treat "consciousness" as an abstract, objective property (that I assume others have), or this "sheer fact of subjectivity" that seems impossible to communicate (that I can know I have). One of these I'm happy to reduce to other objective properties, and the other I am not.

Unless you buy Samsung phones, which means 25-30% of all Android phones, which come with the Galaxy App store in the same "privileged" position. Or any phone in China, where the Play Store is not available.

This is exactly how I would like to use this feature, but from what I read, Firefox Sync only supports one of the accounts. Does that affect containers? I'd like to sync all of my bookmarks, history etc. from both work and personal containers.
You think an app store should be a common carrier? Should WalMart also, then? Why wouldn't a store get to pick what they carry? Everything they carry affects their reputation and appearance, after all.

I just read both.

Whatever else you think of Breitbart, in this case their article actually contains some interesting information not included in the WaPo article, including comments from Gab's lawyer about why he thinks the case has merit.

The WaPo article is clearly slanted towards Google and against Gab, and the Breitbart article is the reverse. If you're interested in a balanced view you should probably read both.
Could easily use different infrastructure for giflike-mp4 vs streamed video. Different tags, even.

Handle the "giflike" case as a file that must be hosted in full with audio forced off. Non-giflike case allows streaming.
Your concerns are definitely valid, but note that every time the Chrome team chooses a browser default, or doesn't include a permission setting for every possible ability, they are guessing what the user wants. And these guesses will not be the same made by other browsers, so the user may still be confused why something works for their friends but not them. "Smart permissions" seem strictly better to me than allowing autoplay ads or no autoplay youtube, and reducing user frustration may just require ad-hoc tricks, e.g., filling the bank spot of a non-auto-played video with a permission dialog box. Likewise, using global trustworthiness information about a website could greatly improve guesses.
On Android you don't even need to hack anything to install the Gab app, just tick a box in the UI and download the APK. Many gambling sites already do the same.

It strikes me that their argument on iOS might be even stronger given the relative unpopularity of jailbreaking devices these days and the complete lack of sideloading functionality for non-developers.
Chrome's "own ad blocker" mentioned in the article sounds good in theory, but seems like a slippery slope to eventually making it simply show only Google's own ads.
On the last graph, it identify the current period as the begining of the early majority starting to switch over to ipv6. ISP are not the fastest institutions out there, and it will likely exist a large variance where v6 is either much greater or much worse than v4 traffic.

There exist this project that track performance for v6 vs v4. In some countries v6 has above performance to v4, in others places it is worse. You seems to had the bad luck of getting the worse end of the variance.

> they should have a place where they can speak

I agree completely. The alternative is that the bad ideas get hidden away, and not seeing the light of day, they begin to fester sort of like social rot. Or worst, people turn to violence. Free speech is not only about being heard, but about weeding out bad ideas.

A great book on the subject is Kindly Inquisitors by Jonathan Rauch. He can explain the importance of free speech much gooderer than I ever could. :)
Noise.
Most - if not all - of these chips have analog to digital convertors because most of the applications involve monitoring some sort of signal. There's going to at least a bit or two of noise in the signal (or if not otherwise used, a floating input.) That's where I'd start if I was looking for entropy.
Take a look at this video [1] for explanation, and possibly other Extra Credits videos if you're interested in game design.

Yeah, it's complete bullshit. They've got no problem with hate speech against whites (ignoring ethnicity, because the people who like to rant about white people usually don't care about actual backgrounds), people who say hateful stuff about Christians, or people who hate guys because, well, they're guys.

You don't gotta feel persecuted or fit into any of those groups to see the obvious double standard there.
The life satisfaction chart is what caught my eye.

Everyday I am more convinced that the high real state prices are eating away a lot of the income in the economy. Prices are not to bad in median cities with houses around $150k, but most larger cities start around $250k. This is income that cannot be used to buy other things. But the prevailing mindset requires you to have a lot of space between your family and your neighbors. Which IMHO is unsustainable.
Unfortunately, the same can be said of the Washington Post and the New York Times.

For example, the New York Times featured a piece [0] stating President Trump will "erase from the annals of life on earth" several species of animals, including the Hawaiian Honeycreeper, the Joshua Tree, the Horseshoe Crab, and more. Why? Because President Trump exited a 1 year old environmental accord.

Still other mainstream outlets reported, "Donald Trump will have his own version of Hitler's Reichstag fire to expand his power and take full control of the government."[1]

That is reporting on political drama in misleading ways.

Less useful to most people, sure, but most people also use their desktop computers for only those same things.

I make music, and for the past several years, I've been pretty much exclusively using my phone and iPad to do it. The touchscreen works very well for my use case, and the audio pipeline is quite flexible with the right apps--in many cases outshining the workflow available on a full PC. I'm working exclusively on the device and using no external services after downloading the apps themselves. That takes far more computing power than a dumb terminal.

That seems to be the obvious explanation to me. They were exposed to some sort of chemical which caused a stroke or seizure or migraine or whatever. Hell, there's no reason to think it couldn't have been a disease.
i personally feel 40min/day is too much. I have 2 young kids (7 and 5) and used to do similar to you. The problem with allowing some amount per day means that's all they can think about, because before "media time" (tv, tablet, or computer) they anticipate it, and after "media time" they miss it.

I switched my kids to "no media during weekdays" and after about 3 or 4 days of withdraw, it's much, much better. now they have time to play, do homework, and practice piano during the week without the constant complaining that they used to exhibit.
Interesting. My five-year old has exhibited some aggression/anger occasionally. I have attributed it to him being tired or going through natural childhood phases. He does use electronic devices a lot. I never would have related the two behaviors, though.
> Google has never really been antagonistic toward other app stores.

Sure they have.

* You have to convince your users to go into their security settings and check the scary box with the even scarier warning. If Chrome started only trusting Google's CA with no option to add others you wouldn't be arguing that 'it's not so bad you can still click though by adding a security exception'.

* 3rd party app stores are incapable of actually installing or updating apps -- they're basically glorified downloaders. There's no way to 'trust' another app store so that it can perform these actions on your behalf unless you root your phone.
A viewpoint I argued for a decade or more ago, without any result - agribusiness has also been busy reducing nutrient content and increasing growth; but they don't want much attention to the possible results.
A webapp will inherently lack some optimizations that a native app could provide. Wouldn't this suggest some uncomfortable analogies with net neutrality "slow lanes"? Certainly not a one-to-one mapping, but there's enough similar shape to give me pause.
sorta

from my understanding, when you build the package, your computer extracts the relevant required packages, and sends up that data to pypi, which then in turn sends that data back to users when they install

At least thats how I think it works

I was in the test pilot for this and I had one singular gripe which I don't think has been addressed or brought up anywhere else I've seen: I want to be able to move a tab from one container to another.

It's so easy to open a tab in the default container, or the wrong container, and being able to move that tab, along with all the data it has spawned (like cookies) would make this a killer feature for me.

The only other thing, which admittedly makes my one singular gripe less singular, is that I didn't see any separation in the history, as far as what was in a given container. In an ideal world, each container would have its own "Show all history" data.
Yes. Tech VCs hate to hear it, but things like Facebook are really pieces of telecommunication infrastructure, and they have a moral duty to carry their users' communications reliably and without interference, regardless of their opinion of those communications. Google's Android store is slightly different, but this applies equally to many of Google's enterprises too.

Something has to give. Ideally it would be the CFAA and copyright synergy that makes online incumbents virtually impossible to beat (right now, the oft-cited "network effect" has little to do with the difficulty of competing with a major player, as there are much more significant legal barriers at play).

"Because Walmart isn't sitting in your pantry and throwing non-Walmart items off your shelves. Google is doing the digital equivalent of this on Android devices."

Posting this here because HN classifies content critical of running database clusters on Kubernetes as a "flame war". Correspondingly, they throttled my account for holding a professional, calm, and even-handed discussion on that subject, and I can't post replies any more for some hours.

The thread that got me throttled can be found at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14453705 ; judge for yourselves whether this constitutes a "flame war".

Really kind of appropriate to hit this issue in a thread about lumbering tech monoliths abusing their control over user attention.

Triple-edit: it's interesting that comments that point out HN's censorship tank so quickly. Is the intent to get the score so low that they can "flag" it off the page and keep it safe from other readers' attention? You wouldn't think HN would do that, but then, you wouldn't think they'd limit an account for expressing skepticism over Kubernetes either...
Isn't this what profiles were designed for?
You're severely underestimating children (or over-estimating the current state of AI). 5 year-olds have better natural language skills than any AI in existence, better motor and navigation skills than the most advanced DARPA robot, better mood recognition capabilities, etc.

You appear to be thinking of just facts and figures. AI is not that.

I don't think needing to know what the data is is necessary for my question.

I'm not asking for ideas of what to do with what I already have. I'm asking for ideas of how to think about data in general and how to be creative with it. Does this mean finding tangential connections to other data like how weather affects baseball in outdoor ballparks versus indoor/closed roof ballparks, does air temperature in a hockey stadium affect how the puck moves on ice (air friction, pressure, etc.).

Or perhaps focusing more on the mathematical/analytical aspects, like perhaps deciding how to incorporate new types of analysis that haven't been performed on the data yet (such as using derivatives to find velocity rather than another method) with better, more accurate results.

That causes the problem of knowing something you don't want to know. That problem, in turn, is solved by not looking at what "jump to matching" is specifically doing, other than watching for it hitting your "target parenthesis".

Example. I have this, in the middle of a larger body of code with more open parentheses which are not shown:

(foo (((((bar) ...
.....)) <-

Suppose that the point indicated by the arrow, I want to close (foo, and only (foo. Perhaps I want to start another unit that is on the same level of nesting as foo:

(foo (((((bar) ...
)) <- must close this
;; (bar ... <-- want to start this; doesn't exist yet

So I just type ), or even auto-repeat. The jump-to-matching feature jumps backwards onto various parentheses that I don't care about, getting closer and closer to (foo. That (foo is where my eyes are; I stop when I see the backward jump hit (foo. If I overshoot, then I just backspace. Any good jump-to-matching feature works when you backspace to a parenthesis, not only when you type a new one. So after an overshoot, I can still keep my eyes on the (foo and backspace until the cursor jumps to (foo. It's like keeping your eye on the ball or other target in a sport.

There is no value in knowing which of the other parentheses match which openers, and no value in having to interrupt the )))) to deal with other kinds parenthesis, when all I want is to close `(foo is a nuisance. That's just the down-side of whatever notational benefit those other kinds of parentheses bring.

Many people echoed the argument that: 'if someone isn't allowed to participate in society like a normal person, then why even let them out of prison, because it only otherwise encourages them towards crime?'

He murdered a child. If Harvard doesn't want to allow a child murder into their institution, it's not a crime against that person. That person can have a normal life, just at Grand Junction State (or I'm sure there's a million other colleges other than Harvard that will accept him).

There are consequences to actions. If the consequence of murdering a child is you don't get to go to Harvard, it's not a tragedy. Go do something useful with your life, other than going to Harvard or killing kids, yeah?
But they have certain "privileges" granted by society (i.e. by consensus of the majority of he population). This only works for as long as the society deems companies beneficial to the wellbeing of the people; once that ceases to be true, the rights or privileges of the company/-ies should be modified or revoked.
