Fundamentally transforming default thinking patterns that have been etched deeply through years of habit and experience.

...and hundreds of thousands of years of evolution. We are hard wired to spend an inordinate amount of time and attention on averting losses of all kinds, often to a degree that confounds any sort of cost/benefit analysis.
I think you have to keep in mind that this isn't particularly benevolence, but ecosystem pruning.

Apple would prefer that everything be conducted in apps on mobile where they can take a 30% cut of initial sale and IAP revenue and not on the open web where most of these ads take place.
I'm the same. I see previews for tv/movies about kidnappings or other atrocities involving children and I just shake my head. NOPE. Why would I want to think about that more than I already do? The fear is too real for a father.
Whilst you're correct that the higher the speed the more likely a fatality, it's also possible to cause death at very low speeds.
^ this.

I discovered Browserling just yesterday looking for a replacement for BrowserStack. I planned to hand over my credit card today but saw this blog post on the commute to the office. Thanks, but no. I'll continue looking and make sure to not make business with this guy.
There's no incentive to make a movie if it will never make any money. Without copyright, anyone can purchase it once and give it away for free or sell each copy for $0.01 and undercut all competition. Digital content takes X amount of work and then allows it to be duplicated by creating infinite copies. If someone can infinitely copy your work, you will never get paid for that X amount (or make any profit). While I don't strongly support current IP law, getting rid of it isn't the solution. It's like having an economy based on fake money, after a very short period of time the money becomes worthless (except here the money = work).
The value system in that market rewards inaccurate reporting. It's the same with politics.
A million little resignations every day.
Glad or sad?
Then people should save money they made from their works and pass it to their children. I've never heard of someone continuing to work after their death to provide for their children, which is what the current copyright system basically amounts to.
I don't think this is mutually exclusive. Both parties cheat, because the topic is awkward and not treated seriously, especially in more conservative states.
Love how it got Frisa correctly down as a bunch of man made hills sticking out of the water.
>If someone fires a gun randomly down the street, not aiming at anyone, but happens to hit someone, they'd certainly be arrested. Drive a multi-thousand-pound projectile down the street, kill someone, and it's just an "accident".

That is not the correct analogy for this accident. The correct analogy is "Someone runs across a live firing range." The shooters would not be charged.
Since Whatsapp joined Facebook, they are now only interested in ideas that have potential billion dollar upsides. The phone you are suggesting is more likely to be built by an entrepreneur who's eyeing a small but steady business.
They said the same thing when browsers started blocking pop-ups.

The advertising industry will survive.
I understand what they mean. I just disagree. I think studies on it agree with me too, but I’d rather not read about it. They and I will just have to agree to disagree.

On one hand having another child or more children could be comforting, but I think you are more likely to make that child’s life much harder and sadder, which would add more guilt. It’s all around *ucking awful and terrifying.
A few ways come to mind:

Randomized double-blind studies

peer reviewed question sets

longitudinal cohorts

The goal is to control for known biases. It’s hard, however, to discern conclusions from a dataset that is already biased. There’s very little in this to conclude effectively that “intellectual curiosity” was caused by birth order. They might be independent variables from each other on this survey born out by another variable. Or are completely spurious in nature.
Self-driving cars can be the last mile solution to public transportation that is limited by the efficiency of transporting larger numbers of people to a limited set of destinations.
Can someone from the AD industry list a few (3 or more) legitimate uses for ‘pervasive’ tracking.

You know, I have no problem with treating copyrights as a type of property. That means it must be registered and taxed in proportion to its value. It may be a better situation than both always short lived duration and the taxed by increased amounts options.
It's a limit not a target, if it's not safe to drive at that speed then don't.
Yes. After becoming a father, and especially as my son has grown to a teen, I have become more and more unable to voluntarily consume media which involves the death of children. Nonetheless, I read this one, because it involves confronting this deep seated fear from a perspective I felt I could relate to.
ok, back to the square one. English is not my native language, so sorry if my point doesn't get accross that well.

> How the heck are we allowing reporters to "report" like this?

keyword being "allowing". You either have a system where anyone needs to be "allowed" to write something or not.

> Or, if it is, since the US clearly does not have a perfectly free press (and thus, if it's a binary value, has a zero not a one), nothing can be the price we pay for a free press, because we aren't getting a free press.

In US you are generally not required to be "allowed" to write something. That for me is the definition of freedom of expression. As soon as you are required to be "allowed" to publish you don't have that freedom. The system is not perfect, but that imperfection is created by players (content producers and consumers) inside the system, not by artifical regulation from above.

Now we can discuss whether this "allowing" was meant as a call for action meaning: "don't support low-quality journalism" - in that case I agree, I am trying to avoid supporting low-quality press by not giving its publishers my money or my time.
But if by "allowing" was meant that some wise know it all independent authority should be set up to allow certain things to be published and not allow some other things to be published, now that's the point where the discussion ends for me. There is nothing to discuss there, you simply lost your freedom. game over.
Yes, I live in Arkansas. An employer here can legally fire someone because they have a bumper sticker on their car for the wrong candidate.

In California, however, political affiliation is a protected class under state law.

Right, this is sadly the unfortunate answer in many cases and the raw reality of our world. Too many people have been watching CSI and think the police could just go back and start 'zooming in' to see what happened.
Not sure that would be much better than existing cheap rugged android phones?

Internet.org-like plans haven't exactly gotten much love, and that seems to me like the biggest differentiator Facebook could introduce. (purely business-wise, their brand name of course could help, but that's not much actual merit IMHO)
He should probably have elaborated on that then imo. It seems like a low effort post if that was what he was trying to convey. However the comment you're replying to is also a useful mental model. Even though tax is "money spent", it is coming back to you through having a safer environment. Therefore it shouldn't be considered "wasted money" at the very least.

Although the last sentence of the comment doesn't add much to his point.
Anyone watching police series on tv knows how useful total surveillance is.

How Meltdown and Spectre Are Breaching Device Security
I really don't mean to be obnoxious or disagree just for the sake of saving face or whatever - I really just don't understand how you can claim that those passages are not an example of someone being denied a team position because they were explicitly favoring minority-candidates instead.

I understand that it's not proof of it, like I said, and I understand that there's no direct evidence supporting that claim.

What I'm saying is that the email they embed there is supporting evidence of the narrative outlined in those paragraphs.

And I don't understand how you can say "no evidence supporting this allegation is included" then.

At this point, I'm not sure how to phrase myself to get my point across either - english is a second language, so please excuse me.

I'm quite certain that we are in agreement - what we probably disagree with is my distilling this down to the single sentence that I did initially.

But even that is a sentence distilled in good faith on my part, I don't feel that I misrepresented it that badly, and it's the kind of sentence I'd use around the dinner table until someone wanted to dig further into it.

which is why you also need to take age into account. certain age groups will have different ratios, but the standard deviation for those age groups should cover for those variances.
So you feel sympathy for people on HN, but not for the college students who want to be warned when they're going to read something that might depict some other kind of traumatic experience?

Honestly, if I was them I'd be worried about copyright shrinking. Yet another reason for them not to push for an increase now may be that they worry an increase will lead to more push back. Possible even past what they have now.

Do you like to read? If you listed your top 20 books, by whatever criteria you choose, were any of them popular?

Would you feel good if under your system, the donations or other alternate payments ended up in the author’s rewards being cut? What if they were cut in half? Or even became negligible, because I don’t see any guarantees prescribed.

This is not just about Taylor Swift (no offense if you are a fan). We’re talking about works that can change lives, inspire people to do great things, even change the course of history.

The system has been abused and distorted. However I don’t see how that can make us sure the best solution is to throw the baby out with the bath water.

I would be happy to deal with more paywalls. Anytime there is an ad free version of an app I'll buy it. I've even started paying for most of the newspapers I regular. I think we could see a huge improvement in online content quality if people started paying for stuff they like with real money, rather than paying by being distracted by ads.
Gave you an upvote because I don't think you deserved a negative score for a common misconception. I've known people permanently changed in all sorts of ways by various things.

I'd ask you to explain how all libertarians are Nazis but then I guess I'd be taking the bait.
In a similar vein, I highly recommend the nand2tetris online course.

You begin by combining electrical logic gates into gradually more complex chips, then assemble the components of a computer, write an assembler, then a compiler for a high level toy language a bit like Java. Finally you program a game (such as Tetris) in that high level language.

It is available on Coursera, you can access it for free but have to pay to have your work marked, which is definitely worth it.

It really demystified that magical bridge between hardware and software for me - "How does typing text on this keyboard physically alter the flow of an electrical circuit?"
Not sure why this is being downvoted. Whether you agree with the values expressed or not, it is a fact that people who kill people with their car rarely face any sort of legal repercussion.

And yeah, I don’t think the fragility of the agent of death is a reason not to conduct even a cursory investigation into whether there might have been factors related to the crash.

Was there anything in the car that might indictate impairment or distraction? Was there something about the place in the roadway that limited visibility? Might she have been speeding, and might speeding have been a factor?

I mean, yes, some crashes are truly accidental, but some (especially nowadays with digital distractions) aren’t exactly without culpability on the part of the driver.

When I was in college a beloved professor of mine was struck by a man who got out of his pickup truck, looked around, and got back in his truck and drove off. My professor was left injured in the middle of the road only to be struck and killed by a second car. The first driver’s defense? The one that absolved him of all criminal and civil liability to my professor’s surviving child? He didn’t see her.

In this country we are pretty quick to assume innocence on the part of the driver. It’s been said that, if you want to kill someone and get away with it, do it with your car.

So, yeah, this woman probably wouldn’t have been convicted by a jury of her peers. But it’s pretty cavalier to suggest that we—out of deference to the operator of a deadly machine—that we shouldn’t even ask some questions.
Hacktoberfest 2017 review
I like how you accurately frame this not as benevolence but just as Apple applying their goals that are different from advertisers.

But I’m happy with this as I think Apple’s goals are more in alignment with my own as a user. I don’t expect Apple to support me altruistically, but currently their model of charging a lot for hardware so user data across the web is not necessary for them is one that allows for high levels of user privacy.
Wow that was a strong read. Granted that they are quite at the opposite ends of 'accidental kill' spectrum, it immediately reminded me one of my favorite movies, In Bruges {SPOILER AHEAD!} where we see a hitman who accidentally kills a little boy struggling with his life to overcome his "mistake". I get teary eyed every time I watch it..
I think that only applies to some styles of peanut butter. Jif, for instance, is more like three-quarters carbs (half of that sugar), one-quarter fat and negligible amounts of protein.

Sorry, but that's very a silly thing to say. While driving a car serves a purpose for what purpose is anyone going to fire bullets randomly for?
While I upvoted you for the initial part of your comment, I do not support the autonomous car argument, as I can't see how an autonomous car can avoid an accident of the sort cited in the article, namely an object or a person darting in front of a vehicle moving with enough velocity to be unable to come to a stop immediately.

> They addressed it by waving their hands and insisting its different, that doesn't equate to a valid argument.

While they may not have formulated a valid argument, I think there is a valid argument to be made, so I will try.

Television was a broadcast medium, the only way you could interact with it was to switch channels.

Apps on a smartphone are more interactive (they can take user input) and include a mechanism for personalized push notifications which makes them into a much more potent tool for capturing and retaining attention, how?

They are like a skinner box with a button that gives out rewards (the rewards are likes, or text messages, or push notifications) when you interact with the app.

What makes apps even worse than TV is that the makers of the apps have, either through blind experimentation (a/b testing) or by applying lessons learned from behavioural psychology, fine tuned them to make them as addictive as possible.

Basically, a the facebook app on your phone is like a skinner box, where you are the pigeon, and the app gives on rewards on a variable ratio, partial reinforcement schedule (the type of reinforcement schedule that has been found the best at eliciting a strong rate of response the subject.)

Also what makes phones addictive is what isn't on the phone. Phones typically don't have productivity apps, like word or a programming environment like you might have on a laptop. They have limited uses beyond communication, which narrows our choices when using them to those very apps that were designed to be addictive.

Learn a creative skill like cooking, drawing, painting, or sculpting. For me - I always tend to see my art as a metaphor to programming. Each step in the process is a small function, and each finished piece (meal, painting, etc) is like a working program. Sometimes it needs to be refactored, other times it's fine as it is.

A lot of programmers I know don't have a creative side to them. The programmers and engineers I respect the most all have a unique and creative outlook on life, which shows in their CS work.
Instead of forcing AMP on us, Google should have started penalizeing websites (even stronger) that load slowly or surpass xx KiB. Additonally, to protect our privacy, Google could start prnalizing websites for using JavaScript. The more JavaScript (including externally hosted), the higher the penalty.
> First, let me start by saying this: syntax is NEVER a good reason to use or dismiss a programming language. If your approach for choosing a language is 'I (don't) like the syntax', you're doing it wrong.

Sorry, but this is BS. A program language's syntax is an integral part of its error-proneness and hence of its safety. E.g., if putting/not putting a semicolon can crash a rocket, then that programming language's syntax has failed.

No, really, syntax matters a lot!

(This does not mean that I think Closure's syntax is bad.)
It's infeasible for a lot of reasons.

The €1500 cost would be meaningless in the US for most people. The median parents purchase a vehicle for their children directly or otherwise assist them in acquiring one, at far greater cost. That level of license cost wouldn't have any impact for the average person.

Where those variations would have a huge impact, is for poor people, overwhelmingly black and hispanic in the US. Any attempt to implement that licensing approach would be called out as being racist or otherwise discriminatory. I'm not exaggerating or making light of it, I'm being dead serious. That's exactly what would occur. I'll leave it to others to debate whether it would in fact be racist, I'm sure some (most?) of that opinion is determined by one's position in society and how each person feels discriminated against or not.

The US has a substantial bifurcation between the top ~60% and the bottom ~40%, roughly speaking. The top 60% is overwhelmingly white + asian. The gap between access to quality driving instruction / education, the ability to pay licensing costs of €1500, etc. would separate along that division (ie white/asian and black/hispanic). It would impact poorer people in a significant way, and barely impact non poor people.

If the US were to adopt a stricter approach, to convince everyone that it was fair, it'd be necessary to put meaningful resources into providing greater driving education opportunities to poorer people, and probably adjusting the licensing cost based on household income (if your family makes $30,000 the fee is $250; if your family makes $90,000 the fee is $1500 or whatever).
I doubt a mob made of the entire earth could assuage a good person's guilt for having - albeit inadvertently - killed an innocent child.

The Myth of Insufficient Demand
… which probably should be further modified to "Someone runs across a live firing range in front of a row of houses where kids live".
So do a lot of differences between demographic groups. We have a lot of data on the inequality of groups, still we act as if we were equal.
Is God not able to try and judge people just as we do? If someone murders another, humanity has long believed it ok to imprison or execute them for their crimes. I fail to see how an all-knowing God is not qualified to make the same judgement.

> "Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.. ...and the earth was filled with violence. - Genesis 6:5-11

That aside, there are more as many acts of mercy in these stories than judgement. The idea of an "Old Testament God" and "New Testament God" is rejected by all the Jews and Christians I know.

The New Testament is rejected by most Jews. Yet, even without this "merciful God" of the NT, we can see from the Old Testament writings that they regard God as one whos' "Loving kindness and mercy endures forever".
