> just buy them whatever books or encyclopedias for children they find interesting

I'm curious why you think I'm not doing this? Why have you assumed I'm imposing what I want my child to read, rather than listening to what he wants?
It would only be fraud if done with deliberate intent to deceive.
Modern society has a nasty side effect to forbid us to experiment with sophisticated yet intuitive notions.

Simply learning drumming made my sense of touch, balance, and a ton of other parts of my brain extremely more acute and potent. Not dissimilar to when you grok induction on trees, all of a sudden a lot of things become clearer. Well similarly with a lot of focused attention to your senses you'll start to notice patterns and relationships that are invisible otherwise.

Else, it sounds like someone beat up their data until they found something worth publishing. It certainly wouldn't be the first time such an effort passed a "peer review."
> I wouldn't say that it's an easy rule to follow (for some people, anyhow).

I stick by the same rule, but other people have not been so smart. Most famous case is Bill Gates, who's now not-happily married to Melinda Gates. Or not. Case in point, it is all debatable and depending on context, like all human interactions, but with witch-hunts like these the context gets totally lost.
Just make sure to note the variables if you can list them. The main problem is media outlets taking the results as fact.
> Purpose matters.

The point about many of these privacy related issues is that purpose can change.

Almost nobody is arguing that it's not a good goal to feel safe on the streets. But there can be an argument made that cameras don't actually increase safety (though they can increase the illusion of safety) and the more important point: Increased safety is only one purpose of many of these cameras. Even if it is the only one right now, all it takes is a shift in political climate, and suddenly they can be used for many other things without, and this is the important bit, changing anything about the cameras themselves.

To take up your example of being feeling safe as a Chinese in China (but don't misunderstand me, this is exactly the same in any other country!) probably works because you are not interesting to the people controlling the cameras (and the other surveillance ). But once you aren't aligned with their interests anymore and you start making trouble, these cameras give your opponents tremendous power over you.

Privacy doesn't matter if you are aligned with those in power. The power imbalance it perpetuates only starts mattering as you move away from the center of society.

DeX is a dock that tells your phone to go to "desktop mode". It is still Android.

They can do good, but since they're a monopoly it doesn't actually make them any money to do so. They're much less likely to do good things for customers than any firm in a competitive industry would be.

So a book like Budgie the Little Helicopter is a book about a helicopter, but I know my child will prefer a non-fiction reference book about helicopters. And this non-fiction reference book is a STEM book.

But do you have counter examples? Because here, we see one more from Google, while Apple has had a much better track record so far that confirms this view that they are walking the talk, too.
Fwiw I have been assured that Big Pharma will swap out a set of mice (or whatever the test species is) as a way to find the results they're looking for. This was told to me by someone who does research for Big Pharma. Someone who I have no reason not to trust.

I don't think it would be easy to quantify the gains from Emacs because it's too specific to the user. For me, it's all about automation. If I notice myself doing something that can be automated multiple times, I write a function. If I find myself calling that function frequently, I turn it into a keyboard shortcut. That's a huge win, because it eliminates a lot of work I hate to do, but it's very specific to the user.
Because then we wouldn't have a known number of issued coins as well as the full set of holders of those coins? Nor would we be able to trustlessly send them anywhere?

I'm only paying my ISP so much money because there are no other options (thanks to net neutrality). If there were cheaper subsidized options, I would highly consider them.

I think it shows they're both very strong competitors. Apple Music, despite being much younger and being 'less cool', has managed to obtain half the market share.

Spotify, despite being in less countries, has managed to go deep into the countries it does support.
I have a serious problem with the naming convention of “net neutrality.” It’s extremely confusing because it sounds like “net neutrality” is some abstract object up for debate. But in actuality, what’s up for debate is “anti net neutrality”.

The status-quo is net neutrality. If Congress/FCC were to do nothing, we would still have net neutrality.

In that sense, it’s confusing for non-technical, mainstream consumers to hear about the debate on “net neutrality” as if it’s a question of whether or not we should implement net neutrality. It’s already implemented simply by the absence of regulation.

This confusion, and all the convoluted technical discussion that goes along with it, leaves most people with little ability to discern who’s arguing for what.

Lobbyists and government regulators prey on this confusion. Their behavior is symptomatic of a much larger problem in US politics. Unfortunately the internet is now a hot target for the externalities of this political system.

The best move, as others have said, would be to do nothing. There is no need for regulation; the market is working.
What these comments are against net neutrality and are appearing on Hacker News? We are innovators that without neutrality us little guys/girls will suffer.

Are all these comments fake/propaganda? I wouldn’t be surprised!

> games that are no longer fun, but are now environments deliberately set up to trap users in their own Skinner Boxes, pulling levers and pushing buttons to open loot boxes that slowly drain out their bank accounts

Gamers will hate me for this, but I actually very much prefer some of the simple "Skinner box" puzzle and collection games that are out now to the shitty, twitchy, time-sink "hardcore" ones that came before that everyone loved so much.

Give me Tsum Tsum, Yokai Watch Wibble Wobble, and Puzzle and Dragons any day over Counterstrike, WoW (though I spent plenty of time on both of those), or any of the FPS crapshows on the market right now that are basically just Counterstrike with better graphics. I'll happily spend my $60 over time while enjoying casual bite-sized gameplay on my schedule, rather than the intensity and practice that "real gamer" games require.

I also fail to see WTF games have to do with the tech industry at all, it's a minuscule portion of the sector.
> The Soviets had childish, despicable politics of their own going on, with important rocket engineers like Korolev being accused by his colleague Glushko of treason, sending Korolev to the gulag for Glushko's professional advantage.[1]

It went both ways, Glushko consisered Korolev to be irresponsibly cavalier and autocratic with anything outside of [Korolev's] specialities, which included Glushko's (liquid-fueld rocket engines).

> had he not, his plan to go to the Moon may have been realized

Probably not: Glushko's OKB-456 controlled the design of high-power liquid-fueld engines (which would ultimately lead to the RD-170 and its various derivatives), Korolev refused Glushko's engine design (RD-270), Glushko thus refused working with Korolev and on LOX/Kerosene engines[0].

It was Korolev who decided to go with a metric fuckton of NK-15 instead of listening to Glushko.

[0] he would ultimately design the LOX/Kerosene RD-170, but 20 years after the F1, one of the reasons for refusing to do so for the N1 was the lacking techno-industrial environment and inferior coke-prone fuels available to him in the 60s)
No, just make them pay the fine directly, lose their jobs and right to be company directors, and bad cases, where they turned a blind eye, actually go to jail.
I would keep a lookout for ISPs doing things like zero rating or other roundabout ways of breaking net neutrality. Arguably, net neutrality is already broken in the US since the current administration isn't going to enforce the current policy. As businesses find ways to make more short term profits here, others will probably follow the same tactics elsewhere.

I used to work for Philips' TV branch, they used a similar setup. Instead of a camera they mounted a light sensor to the display and measured end-to-end delay for various color transitions (white-to-black, black-to-white, ...). All other manufacturers and many serious reviewers perform similar tests.

Of course, these tests are always performed with all built-in image processing disabled, those can easily add 2 frames of delay on modern televisions. MPEG deblocking and noise removal are performed by most TV brands to improve image quality at a cost of latency.
It's not that customers don't care, but rather the transaction costs of switching (breaking contracts, dealing with CSRs, taking the time to shop around) slow the market response to competition.
Apps are supposed to keep their state either by saving your work regularly to persistent media or keeping your data off-client. We're living in 21st century in a cloud era FFS.

Keep running your app although integrity corruption within the application happened is putting user data at risk. IMHO an application that corrupts 3 days long presentation file save is to every user more frustrating than the one that crashes due to error leaving you with 5 minutes of unsaved changes lost.

Microsoft have invented "Application Recovery and Restart" exactly for this purpose.
> fake labels like "senior engineer" - and yet have never actually talked to a single user.

You lost me there. What about that title is "fake"? To be clear, people pursue titles because they come with raises. Or rather, the title change is used to justify the raise.

What does talking to a user have to do with anything? Is it important that a pharmaceutical chemist talk to prospective patients? Most software businesses have job functions that specifically deal with the user (design, UX, product, support, sales). As an engineer, nobody would oppose me pursuing interviews with users, it's just not a good use of my time when people I rely on (UX, etc.) already are doing it.

Ask HN: Why are Kill-Fees Important?
i need some very strong arguments here to submit to my recruiter for consideration.

They are operating without kill-fees in their contract with the end-client

When i inquired about it, this was their reply :

"I am sorry to hear that the engagement was not as long as expected. Our model is 100% time-based meaning that you will get paid for the time that you work.

In an ideal world, we would like clients to provide at least 2 weeks notice before closing an engagement, however unforeseen elements can come into play and sometimes engagements need to be closed with short notice due to a number of varying reasons.

Did you manage to receive additional feedback from the recruiter of this specific position? If not, I recommend syncing up with them directly and hearing any feedback which may have caused the duration to be shorter than expected.

Also consider that the estimated length is often simply an estimate and can change according to priorities. During the initial ramp up phase, I recommend defining clear timelines and milestones so that you and the client are clear of the expectations."

[update]-- Another partner chimed in with:

That said, if a sub-contractor had an emergency and had to stop working, for example, we wouldn't want that sub-contractor to be held to the same client standard you advocate. Our policies do our best to work fairly for all parties, as well as retain and attract top clients and talent...

We are always working to make these better. Protecting freelancers is top of our priority list.

> No, you didn't. You attempted that, but you failed miserably by not including the most important piece of information: primary group of your shell.

I did check that but must have missed it off the post. Sorry about that.

> Being defined by a filesystem handling code and being the usual behaviour under particular OS are not the same thing.

That was my whole bloody point! Glad you finally agree with me. It's the file systems that define that behavior so it's file system-specific not OS-specific (nor Linux-specific) like you previously claimed.

> Your claim boils down to disagreeing that it's the most prevalent behaviour for the OS, and you justify your position with the behaviour being coded in particular place, no matter that most of the other places for a given OS work in the same way. This is silly stance.

No, my point was that it's a file system-specific behavior not an OS-specific behavior. A point you then tried to pass off as your own (above) despite me categorically stating - numerous times throughout the discourse - exactly what my position is. Honestly I think this argument for you is less about facts and more about gradually moving the goal posts so you don't appear wrong.

> And this exercise would give me what

A greater understanding of a topic you've been happy to engage in arguments about yet reluctant to listen to other peoples feedback on. You're clearly an intelligent guy so if you're not going to take the experience of your peers into account (and I cannot blame you for wanting to trust your own experiences) then why not research this topic properly instead?

> assuming that I haven't implemented a filesystem already?

It's a bit late in the discussion to be playing the bluff card. :P
It's a good thing GPL voids warranty for damages caused :).
It is quite sexist that those mice assumed the researchers sex.

They should probably go on more sex & gender awareness courses.
It might, if they're in a swing district. A person who is bothered enough to find the time and effort to call, is also that much more likely to turn up and vote. So their offices do keep track of how many callers there are on various issues, and prioritize accordingly.
So without net neutrality, the internet as we know it really is broken. Great.

> I feel the Chinese state media are doing a very good job at not talking too much about the different crime/problems happening. Western media are doing pretty much the opposite.

They're not doing the really opposite thing... many western media outlets tend to focus on crimes committed by migrants or people with a migration background. No one cares if a German beats up his wife, but if a man of turkish descent beats up his wife, the tabloid frontpages are filled with "criminal scum beats up his wife". Crimes committed by foreigners generate clicks and buys, and this even more so given the massive right-wing swing in the western world.
Drivers need to do things that are inherently unsafe.

The driver responsible for you harddrive needs to instruct the SATA controller to copy a piece of data from disk to a specified memory location.

The kernel has no understanding of the process without the driver and is therefore incapable of preventing abuse.

You can somewhat prevent this using various methods but those cost performance.

And keep in mind the abstraction itself already costs performance and this doesn't even allow easy extending of the abstraction if necessary.

While microkernels that do run everything in userspace are nice in theory, you usually pay in CPU cycles compared to kernel-mode drivers.

> If you asked users to mark stories they considered fake, some would mark info wars and some would mark huff post.

It's possible that's the right answer, and that there should be more scepticism of stories from both of those sources.

Fake news didn't start online, though. There have been many paper publications which lie outside of mainstream scientific and ideological orthodoxy, e.g: Fortean Times, Daily Worker, Sunday Sport, which today we might call "fake news". Some of these had quite wide circulations and were available in many shops, and yet didn't precipitate any kind of crisis.

It would seem that fake news is perhaps a symptom of something deeper. It's possible that the mainstream press has lost the authority to suppress the fringes as public figures have learned to control their image in the media more (i.e: spin), presenting at least the appearance of collusion.

EDIT: It would appear that Joseph Pulitzer, creator of the prestigious journalism prize, was deeply involved in the rise of "yellow journalism", the "fake news" of the 1890s. Perhaps in a century from now, journalists will covet the Bannon Prize?

In the UK, a shop that I ran was robbed. The police said the camera outside the ship was mobile, and happened to be pointing the other way at the time.

In China, I had a traffic altercation (between me, a pedestrian, and some people who were in a car at the time the altercation started). The police found the video footage and watched it within an hour after I reported it.

My point: the plural of anecdote is not data.
