I am not worried that if I'm alone with a woman I will suddenly become a monster. I'm also not really worried about false accusations.

What I'm really worried about is keeping myself out of situations where mutual feelings of physical attraction develop. This could lead to situations that threaten my work and family.

I had an uncle who was a Catholic priest. They are not allowed to spend time alone with nuns, and I think its the same idea.

Back to your analogy.... I don't bring a chaperone to the grocery store to prevent myself from shoplifting. But I definitely bring my wallet. I also try to shop AFTER dinner rather than BEFORE, because when I shop while hungry it completely changes my buying behavior. I view this as the same thing.

I want to provide fertile ground for the type of relationships that I want to have, and make it difficult for the kinds that I am avoiding to even get started.
This is something that could have happened to anyone. Not just because of misplaced trust in an online partner but because it's easy to create fake screenshots of conversations using Photoshop or simply Inspect Element.

I'm interested in how you mitigated the damage once the post was published. A good strategy might have been to simply discredit it as being fake/photoshopped along with a small tutorial showing how easy it is to create (most aren't tech savvy enough to understand this already).

True you'd be lying, but this is certainly not below the level of someone who's falsely accusing you.
>Norway's doing something very similar to Venezuela as far as nationalized oil going to the public purse, and it's working out great for them.

They did it in a completely different way, though, and the funds were managed and executed differently. Norway helped establish a company and essentially behave as shareholders, with their share revenues going into a fund that reinvests it in stock internationally. They deliberately do not depend on it to subsidize social programs entirely and only withdraw 3% per year.

Venezuela's leadership actively controlled the fund and used it to support wide-reaching social policies that could only be sustained with new revenues, pushing more oil production and making it a larger percentage of their economy which ultimately caused massive failure when the oil prices went down, they were producing at high capacity already and they couldn't get rid of the social programs.
I'd hardly call him unattractive. Classy glasses, a well kept appearance (which can be challenging with a thin mustache)... a slight overbite is about all that might be considered unattractive; but his attitude and voice more than make up for it.

Almost speaks more to the accepted definition of "attractive" than the streamer.
Oh, I certainly don't recommend Google over Firefox. But I do not recommend using Firefox's Sync functionality, which is indeed insecure by design.

I have no idea why so many downvotes. Can anyone disagree that a system in which Mozilla is able to decrypt user data is insecure?

One note: the attack is not necessarily detectable, unless you are in the practice of verifying the JavaScript you receive for each page. If there were some public registry of hashed versions of Mozilla-served JavaScript, it would be detectable.

Also, you need not worry only about the U.S. government, but also about any government which can compel Mozilla to act, and any government which can compel an employee of Mozilla to act, and finally any employees at Mozilla with access. And also you need to worry about bugs in Mozilla's JavaScript: since they did not design a system in which they can't know your password (which is the key to all your secrets), an implementation error might send them your password (and thus allow them to decrypt all your secrets).
nice job.

So, yes, let's redefine the term to name something that has never existed and has no chance of ever existing. This way nobody can complain that "Socialism" is a failure. Great idea.

Just don't come pushing for socialist policies that try to enforce government's ownership of everything.
Yeah, well the laws in the US have become so convoluted, if they want to get you, they'll find something you are guilty of. Same as Orwell and Huxley predicted.
AWS stands for Amazon Web Services.

IMO this is highly dependent on certainty. If there is a low uncertainty around the product, technology, and/or market then this is a very useful exercise. However, as uncertainty grows so does the futility of trying to articulate a coherent business model.
That's interesting. I was a volunteer firefighter from ages 12-19 and while it's not for everyone (and some tasks were not for me) the overall experience during that time in my life taught me a lot of values that you don't get in sports / schooling... the value of a human life- and that is- that you would put yours on the line for theirs. Not to mention to see someone TRULY in need and being equipped to provide that assistance.

It also taught me that a LOT of people still behave in adulthood as they did in their adolescent years and they try to "smart-shame" those that have / persue "book smarts" since many of them work as skilled laborers and didn't care much about schooling / education.
This is a really good write up of taking a product from an idea all the way through getting paying customers! I just wish the author delved more into details.

How many of their users converted to a paid plan?
What price point did the author settle on for their service?

He says that the server costs are paid off for a year but we get no details beyond that.

I am completely unfamiliar with Lineage. I literally just flashed PA on my 3t on Friday and have been having some minor issues with it (wifi connectivity and spotty cell coverage) that I didn't have before when the phone was stock. Could you give me a little info about your experience with Lineage and what you like/dislike about it?

I should add, I flashed PA because I bought a really expensive pair of bluetooth headphones (from Sony) that were having really bad connectivity issues that have been mostly resolved by changing roms.

HolidayPing: how we implemented an open source app with Erlang and ClojureScript
Of course "streaming isn't hard" in the same way that playing football isn't hard. It's when you do it at a professional level and have to put in mad hours every week to keep up that it becomes brutal. All without guarantee that you'll even get paid if you're just unlucky that week and don't get enough viewers.
Well, it's particularly interesting when you tie these two facts together:

> According to documents filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), Yahoo paid Mozilla $375 million in 2015, and is obligated for the same amount each year through 2019 under a five-year contract.

> Under terms of a contract that has been seen by Recode, whoever acquires Yahoo might have to pay Mozilla annual payments of $375 million through 2019 if it does not think the buyer is one it wants to work with and walks away.
I'm surprised you prefer arch linux for amateur radio stuff. Hamlib, wsjtx, and fldigi are packaged and in the main repositories on fedora, but the same is not true for arch linux. What software are you using that you find easier with arch linux?
IMO something that specifically addressed an acquisition wouldn't add anything.

Either Fitbit's acquirer is contractually bound by the privacy policy or it isn't. If it isn't, then the specifics about acquisition don't add anything. If it is, then "We pledge...to never sell your personal data" is enough.

FWIW, Fitbit's publicly traded stock is non-voting, so hostile takeover is not possible.
>At the end of the day, maybe giving an 18 year old 120k to study underwater basket weaving for 4 years is not the best investment of money?

This seems to be some undying myth that is really effective because it allows individuals to gloss over personal value judgements about individual's educational choices under the guise of economics. It massively oversummarizes college education AND market economics. It is a bad idiom used to undermine any area of thought (e.g., when I heard it applied to mechanical engineering "because mechE's don't code") that it requires more than two neurons to see the value to society from.

The role of education is to provide value to society, not simply provide labor to company's who create one form of value (i.e., capital).
Sure, I've spent money on a lot of weird things, giving arbitrary money to people I think who needed it, buying coins in games I've enjoyed, etc.. but donations with no quid pro quo to top Twitch players till do baffle me, given people making the donations know they're well off. It feels like me sending random checks to Larry David because I like watching his show :-D I'd just be keen to see an article digging into that.

Ah, yes, I read it as exactly the opposite in fact.

But there are lots of consistent systems that can service reads but not writes during disruption. Databases with synchronous replication, for example would typically continue to handle reads, but fail writes, during a partition.

One odd deficiency of uMatrix and NoScript I found is that uBlock Origin gives you the ability to block scripts by filename, whereas uMatrix and NoScript can only get as refined as subdomain and scheme. My current setup is some mutant combination of all three, but I would hope that this functionality might converge at some point.
It is a toolkit to generate code not a framework, that means yes and no at the same time:

- no, it won't abstract the semantic differences across platforms differences for you.

- yes, since you can create complete libraries which can be trivially ported to each system (also the standard library is cross platform).

- yes, haxe language has some frameworks which aim to achieve that

- but no haxe framework is mature enough to just code and run everywhere cleanly abstracting all API's and UI's as most of developers would expect nowadays

So, you still will need to appropriately architecture your application and know how your target platforms works and abstracts everything.
The 18-hour days and other working conditions they of the top earners described in the article tell me that a lot of people will age out of their ability to sustain their level of income. It will be an quick transition like sports or porn where you hit a certain age and the dollar value of the level at which you can perform falls off a cliff because you're limited by your body.

I would hope that the pro streamers are planning to use the industry connections they develop for a move into some other part of the video gaming industry around that time.
The hardships of the war were one of the factors that led to the revolution. As well as they could do militarily the war compromised the state's ability to govern more severely than anyone expected.

Downvoting for the sake of disagreement alone is also frowned-upon, if not against the guidelines. From what I understand, a downvote or flag should be reserved for content that doesn't add to the discussion or is obviously inappropriate. These comments are being downvoted for no good reason or explanation, and the discussion deserves to exist here, so the downvotes - in this case - should be called out for what they are: cowardly responses to viewpoints that someone just happens to disagree with but can't engage with reason or civil debate.
>Student loans are originated without regard to credit risk, at the same interest rate for all borrowers.

That's not entirely true.

For undergraduate students, no more than $57,500 can be loaned from the government at a fixed 4.45% APR. This is what you're talking about.

If you need more than $57k (which you would even at most state schools) you need to get a private loan. Private loans have variable APR based on your and your cosigners credit history. Sallie Mae offers loans with an APR between 5.74 and 11.85.
I attended a 2 year vocational program for CIS in High School. It was heavily focused on passing the CCNA exam but I spent most of my time working running the class websites and learning the ins and outs of the LAMP stack. I had unlimited access to industry standard equipment and the freedom to break things without the risk of getting fired. It provided me with a solid foundation of networking and infrastructure fundamentals.

I passed on going to college due to getting an incredible co-op. I'm quite fortunate that my lack of a college degree has yet to limit my career. I give back by volunteering and providing co-op positions for the students of the program.

High School students are pushed to go straight to college and get a degree even when they're not 100% sure what they enjoy doing. They're not often provided with information about alternatives like attending a vocational program.

I have just discovered how enjoyable Twitch is.

Dr Disrespect is amazing. He is an online performer and a gamer.

Most surprising are the people who talk about how watching Dr D has helped them through depression or cancer. He talked about this movingly but briefly in his speech this week.

This is a whole new form of entertainment. It will be fascinating to see where it unfolds. I think Amazon will get a very good return for their investment.
Did you check out Jolla and Sailfish OS?

You can now buy a Sony EXperia X and flash it to Sailfish OS.

I am quite happy with Sailfish. Still using it on my Jolla 1 as a daily driver after 3 years.
I think a large number of twitch viewers are still under 18. I remember my little brother would get my mom hopping mad after he would repeatedly purchase DLC without asking. At $1 or even $5 a pop, would you notice at the end of the month?
Lots of people have more money than sense...

Or, less flippantly, for some people this is literally their only entertainment.. They watch every day, all the time..

At some point, dollar-per-hour evens out when compared to going to the movies or paying for other forms of entertainment.
It's not 'one day', the majority of Mozilla's funding has always come from 'search royalties'. Wikipedia says initial funding first came from AOL in 2003, then they had a deal with Google from 2004-2014. In 2014, it says they signed a deal with Yahoo. This is nothing new.

Depends on what the streamers thing is really, someone like Arteezy can easily pull in 10-20k viewers without even using a mic or cam.

Though for people like him streaming isn't what they use to make a living either.
That is not good news for the health and diversity of the Web which Mozilla is supposedly defending (unless this means less cash). How does that reconcile with their "Big Browser" campaigns?

They could instead switch to some underdogs to help them improve, but no... Google it is again, with the excuse of "It's better for the user". Sad day, Mozilla!
I just asked another commenter who suggested Lineage to talk a little about their experience with it since I just flashed PA onto my 3t this past Friday. I'm going to check it out a bit today. Do you know if it's a simple process to go from PA -> Lineage? A little about me: I am a pretty experience developer but not much of a tinkerer when it comes to phones. This flash to PA is only the third time I've done this with a phone and the last time was a few years ago.
I think the more likely market is those elderly folks' children, who'd rather pay on Amazon than take the time to visit their parents.
The Orinoco Belt is composed of extra heavy crude or heavy crude, not oil sands, which is where shale comes from. While not having the same profitability as light crude, it is still better than shale.

One of the big impact of the cost of Venezuelan crude is its high content of sulfur, which makes refining more expensive, but to this day, Venezuela is one of the few countries where even with a low barrel price, the activity is profitable, or at least it should be.

But when you have a state company that has quadrupled its payroll, paying for all kinds of social services in the country, corruption, all while also diverting funds from investment, you make the operation run at a loss.
> it's simply the case that half of jobs do not require a degree

The problem I see in the US is that because of the glut of degrees, jobs that should not require a degree do require a degree. The employers are making things worse when they require degrees for menial jobs.

"One of them said that she made 10,000 euros ($14,800 CDN) in a single month by “sharing links on Facebook.” She also claimed that the network was based in France, Spain and Italy. Both women abruptly ended all communication with us after initially agreeing to an interview."

I'd rather suspect those are false confessions and more an attempt to attract new members in this scheme network who hope to make huge amount of money.

Sorry, but any example of a government seizing private property is not a government that respects and protects private property. That is a fiction often pushed by the government to convince the people they have private property rights. If your government can seize your property without due process and/or just compensation, then you do not have private property rights.

In the US the police routinely steal private property for their own purposes with little or no due process. Just because they arrest thieves who happen to not be police doesn't mean they respect and protect your property rights. One could say they are protecting their own ability to seize your private property.

I am firmly in the belief that the American people have not had strong property rights for a very long time.
In some ways it is probably a better way to evaluate somebody’s fitness for the working world, since it requires some degree of intelligence and the ability to trudge through crap you don’t like. But it is an awfully expensive way to evaluate people.

That works in Europe because k-12 is more rigorous and you have to test into university. Lots of STEM majors are terrible at reasoning and writing, so I don't think skipping the liberal arts section would be helpful.
Trade school is a great thing for the right number of motivated and capable students.

The problem is that the market can only take so many plumbers, electricians and tin-knockers before their pay falls off a cliff. I expect that this would occur long before the wage gap is actually closed. Moreover many trades are still unionized and resistant to new entrants.

I think that schools should focus more on getting the basics right. Most of us here on HN have enjoyed a priviledged journey through good to elite schooling. The sad reality is that in large swathes of the country high school education has become a shit-show with reprecussions that will last decades.

While it is good to continue to offer votech programs, I think that schools should just make literacy a priority. If you think that's 'aiming low' you haven't seen what goes on in schools today.

> I have so many doubts about this.
As you should. "New study suggests" is basically the same as saying "new study didn't find". It's clickbait or a PR piece.
Private property is not determined by its owner, but rather its function. Ordinary people can own private property, such as land which is taxed or rented out, means of production upon which people are employed etc. It is a fact that the Venezuelan state owns private property, and also that they employ people in exchange for wages. This is no different at all to what Apple or GM does in the United States.

It is also possible for society in general to act as a capitalist. The way Marx and other Socialists use the term "private property" is perhaps different to its modern meaning. Proudhon writes,

>There are different kinds of property: 1. Property pure and simple, the dominant and seigniorial power over a thing; or, as they term it, naked property. 2. Possession. “Possession,” says Duranton, “is a matter of fact, not of right.” Toullier: “Property is a right, a legal power; possession is a fact.” The tenant, the farmer, the commandité, the usufructuary, are possessors; the owner who lets and lends for use, the heir who is to come into possession on the death of a usufructuary, are proprietors. If I may venture the comparison: a lover is a possessor, a husband is a proprietor.

Linux tries to use as much memory as possible for buffers/cache. When a program requires more memory the cache is freed up automatically to be used.

You have options to decline sending any potentially personal data back, and then telemetry would include only basic, anonymised usage info to help them improve Firefox. Pocket is now part of Mozilla and you can still just remove the button from the toolbar and ignore it completely. I assume that video chat thing was only ever proof-of-concept, at least I don't see it anywhere anymore. As for EME, well, most people want their Netflix/Hulu fix. If Mozilla declined to support EME then they'll quickly become obsolete.
