You would think so, but take a look at Herbalife.
That is in fact not the primary issue.

The primary issue is: if you directly give the homeless people $40,000, the people in the lower and lower middle 1/3 economic tier are going to ask why they're not getting that kind of help - cash thrown at them - despite the fact that they're working two jobs and at least paying some taxes.
Yeah, I noticed that too, it's about the most asinine bit of roadway design imaginable other than some sort of chute leading to the rotating knives.
Because it can project some IR light into the car. That wouldn't work for the forward view.
Simple checklist to lower AWS cloud costs
It's a complex topic (obviously). I won't attempt to figure out what they were saying, but some of the issue (and maybe annoyance) is that companies like Google and Reddit are spineless. They'll host stuff all day when it makes them money, but as soon as there is public outcry, they get scared and you can tell where their bread is buttered. There's no real principle there (whether it be free speech or some liberal values), it's just cynical money grabbing as long as they can get away with it.

It's not like this stuff is new. These same attacks have been going on for decades, only now does Google decide they've had enough. It's the reversal of position which is strange. Reddit's had videos of people getting chopped up and flayed for years now, it's only now they're cutting down on it. That seems strangely connected to them getting $200 million in funding and chasing after Facebook's tail. Maybe that's not strange, just obvious.

I'm ranting a bit, but the problem is how top down these decisions are. These companies build up communities then pull the rug out from under them. Either support that stuff or don't, but this wishy washy nonsense where they only react is lame. What do these companies really beleive in? $.
Please don't cross into personal attack on HN.
Being recognized as the top living mind in an entire field of science backstops a lot of courage.
Didn’t Mozilla side load a Mr Robots extension ad and silently install Cliqz adware onto German users? IIRC the Cliqz extension sends all your browsing history to them.
Personally, I wouldn't say that was the whole point of it.

As far as I know (and that ain't much -- I'm not an expert), bitcoin's fundamental contribution was solving "The Byzantine Generals' Problem"[0] in a novel way by using its proof-of-work algorithm combined with the blockchain. This is how/why it works and has been adopted the world over.

Personally, I would say that the whole point of it was not to store censorship-resistant information, but to provide a store of value independent of the current system of state-controlled and/or -regulated fiat currency. The fact that it is also useful for storing censorship-resistant information is a side-effect of the developer adding that feature to the code.

I've started using Scuttlebutt recently (A decentralized social network, setup guide at https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/) and it's surprisingly good.

It's mostly geeks on there, and it'll still be a few years before my Mum can use it, but that's the way I like it. Facebook is mostly just a photo feed of what I'm up to for my family now.

Sorry I don’t have links. When I visited many areas in Japan about 8 years ago, I just spoke to as many people as I could about it, which wasn’t many. Hardly anyone else found it so interesting as I did but I have failed to do much research since. The Japanese people I spoke with found the American system to be the strange one. Not surprising.

As for the architecture, it’s very creative! Neighborhoods don’t really have the conventions of conformity like we have. Each house is free to be whatever it wants, but they are all very small compared to American houses. Most norms in Japanese culture seem to favor the group, cooperation and environments of mutual respect.

I do remember pointing out that a few (very few) of the houses looked pretty old and they told me those people have probably lived in them since they were built and just haven’t wanted a new one.
It sounds like you're saying that experimentalists rely on peer review as a way to fraudulently cover up their shoddy experimental methods.

>Almost no one reads them, so they should not be enforceable.

It varies depending on where in the world you are but its actually pretty unclear as to whether they are enforceable. Or at least, a specific set of T&Cs with a specific user/customer may be found to be unenforceable for a wide range of reasons.

Of course, the company that puts the T&Cs in front of you isn't going to tell you that.

I live in a country where it is quite unusual for someone to own a gun, but I can appreciate that YouTube how-tos are a great educational tool in the situation you describe. From YouTube's message though, it seemed that they were only cracking down on how-tos pertaining to specific things like magazine size or automatic fire. Would that pertain to the 100+ year old rifle and general gun maintenance/malfunctions?
The logical conclusion from that train of thought is that laws have no meaning if people break the laws. So why have any laws?
Is that still true? I thought Google stopped funding Mozilla recently.

Edit: Just checked, they had a deal with Google until 2014 when they signed with yahoo instead. As of 2017 they switched back to Google as the fault search engine but there's no info on Wikipedia at least about whether or not they get money this time around
If you think about it, that's just fluent API. And it's up to your to use it to design thing that's convenience and readable for you. When you design an API, you put it to the context. When in context:

10.seconds.from_now

is beautiful to me.

Let's do a quick google for "Fluent API in Java" and you will get something like this:

Invoice inv = Invoice.builder()
.createdOn(new Date())
.withDocumentNumber("5150")
.shippingOnTrailer("2112")
.suppliedBy(InvoiceActor.builder()
.named("101")
.as(InvoiceActorType.DC)
.build())
.beingSentTo(InvoiceActor.builder()
.named("42")
.as(InvoiceActorType.STORE)
.build())
.with(InvoiceItem.builder()
.as("TK421")
.orderedQuantity(10)
.shippedQuantity(8)
.build())
.with(InvoiceItem.builder()
.as("FN2187")
.orderedQuantity(5)
.shippedQuantity(5)
.build())
.build();

The only difference here is that Ruby allow you to attach method to anything.

But then you have category in Objective C, extension in Swift/Kotlin.

The language gives you the tool, to make your job easier, that's why I wrote "I feel happy when writing Ruby" because I have that power.

To even protected you from changing everything, you can also use refinement to scope this, though it seems underestimated currently IMHO.

When using it the right way, it helps everyone write readable code.

Back to your example:

> 10.pixels.from.top_left_corner.to.southeast.using.red.stroke

It's up to your however you want to design it.
Yes, they did, and it caused Mozilla to lose almost a quarter of their German marketshare in a few months.

The CliqZ debacle was insanity, considering that Burda, the parent company of CliqZ, is mostly known for its ad and tracking networks, and its clickbait tabloids.
Do you trust Uber to provide all the data, or would they selectively produce data favorable to them?

Do you trust Uber to provide unedited raw video, or would they process it to increase contrast, make it appear that nothing was visible in the dark areas of the frame, reduce the resolution, drop frames, etc.?
I don't think that would work. Driving is not a fully conscious, deliberate see-analyze-act loop. A lot of your control movements are subconscious, and you expect instant, correct feedback from the vehicle. To see what I mean - if you've ever played a racing game, try opening a racing replay/Let's play video on YouTube, pretend for a while that you're in control (use your WASD keys), and see how your brain complains about your inputs having no impact on reality.
What's wrong with this? What is your expecation?
What kinds of ads do Mozilla have ? Ḯ'm a bit surprised that they advertise at all.

Are there online RSS feed writers that nontechnical people could use? Reading a pure collection of my friend's RSS feeds would be wonderful.

>Your end criticism of Zuckerberg has a very big problem: he's going to give away his fortune, the ~$69 billion, like Gates and Buffett before him.

Nope. He explicitly structured his foundation as an LLC to not do that so he, his wife, and I imagine his children, can use his wealth however he sees fit. The reputation of Gates and Buffet’s pledges were just something he capitalized on to make himself appear as benevolent.
> I don't see how there's any downside (other than the time of getting people to switch).

Network effects. It's hard to switch if not all of your contacts also switch.
He did, however, use his vast wealth to buy up his neighbor’s houses just to knock them down. Ostensibly to protect his own privacy whilst at the same time declairing that other people’s “privacy is history”. Even people who don’t have Facebook accounts.

Of course there's an equivalence. The exact same thing happened - Obama's campaign received the data of more than 100 million people - about 99.5% of whom didn't explicitly authorize them to receive it. They then used that data in violation of Facebook's Developer TOS. Specifically, the Developer TOS say that you aren't supposed to use the data you receive from the API for any purpose other than the functionality of your app. For example, taking that information and analyzing it to produce campaign strategies and/or using it for targeted political advertising is and was against the Facebook TOS.

How is that not exactly the same thing, just done on a much larger scale by Obama? I get it, this is mostly a lefty crowd here on HN. But I just can't stand hypocrisy on either side. The fact that hundreds of commenters in here want to defend one guy and castigate another for doing the exact same thing based solely on the political affiliation of each is disgusting to me.
You should be deeply concerned that any topic could be banned without much oversight, as a lot of the banned subs were never informed ahead of time, and were never given an opportunity to comply with the new rules. I think stuff like this is easy to turn into a slippery slope. If we ban firearms outright, should we also ban the simulation of firearm usage? If so, you could go ahead and ban /r/gaming. What about movies with gun violence? Where is the line here, and where is it moving?

This is why I honestly think this move is not really about protecting a community, I think it's about image for advertisers. Facebook is getting reamed for it's lack of data control, so lets ban some hot topics and make it look attractive for advertisers looking for somewhere else to go.
I usually see people comment on the font and scoff as it's generally not aweful, but that font color just looks terrible and unreadable on my screen. Is it a really light grey for everyone or just me?
The presentation anxiety phenomenon
We are still not addressing root issues - mental health and inaction of law enforcement on credible tips.

Taking guns away helps reduce damage, but those intent on doing harm will still find ways to take at least one life (or at least attempt to). One too many for my taste.

I really wish we could get people help before we have to worry about them picking up weapons of any kind. Probably wishful thinking.
You are so right. To me this clearly looks like they are reading something below the dash. A book or phone perhaps.

Looking forward to seeing this play out in court.
Heroku CLI Framework now Open Sourced
With advertisers pulling out, this is officially turning into a shitstorm. But it's surprisingly frustrating watching everyone slowly catch on to what I had already figured out 8 years ago about the nature of Facebook. Even more so when I think about all the people who'll just go right back when the outrage dies down.
I always wondered why Facebook did not buy Opera.

Efficient Recurrent Neural Networks using Structured Matrices in FPGAs
Would it be possible to have "parental ratings" on ads for adults? The problem with advertising is once you've seen it, there is few methods to unsee it (you could probably argue some hypnotherapy can do).

By forcing someone to see an ad without a prior approval of the viewer, it's also forcing someone to passively memorize some sort of information. And in some maybe not-too-distance-altered-carbon future, violate their right to forget the ad (as there is no such method you can pay for forget seeing an ad).

What if instead of having a button on an ad to say "Do not show me ad like this", instead having all ads start with a button/muted dialog such as "We like to show an ad of this sort, and it will likely create light memorization, strong persuasion with heavy text but little colorful graphics".

I'm really thinking the events going on right now can create some new opportunity to reimagine how the relationship between ads and viewers could work out.

Nobody is actually worried about that supposed compensation. The biggest joke going, is the notion that any of these technology improvements matter once you start lobbing hundreds of nuclear weapons at each other.

Bypass radar detection? Funny stuff.

The US has never thought it could stop dozens, much less hundreds, of Russia missiles. Fractional orbital bombardment system? A waste of money that Russia doesn't have, as one of the poorest major nations on earth (with a GDP per capita below Grenada).

Do you know why the US has spent so relatively little pushing nuclear weapons tech forward the last 40 years? Because it doesn't matter: just about everyone dies regardless. Russia has no missile shield, and the US has no missile shield that can stop a large volley of traditional missiles.
No way out, you mean other than the largest ever network effect seen in business?
I don't see why we can't do both. Mental healthcare is one of the main needs in this country, but the Las Vegas shooter was also not classically mentally ill, just nihilistic and evil. He also had 23 guns, some of them full on assault, some of them modified.

That's absurd. Why does it always have to be a dichotomy? Surely a nation of 300 million people can address multiple issues at once? All we've got going on is people doing this tribal bullshit while we kill each other.
The formulas and online tables are not really accurate for real world modern cars. Example: https://youtu.be/0zbZweqlZPw?t=1m29s finds an empirical stopping distance of 11 meters at 40 mph. Actually closer to 8 mph than 18 mph!
If this did happen Facebook would quickly figure out exactly what ads you like/make an impression on you, which is just more ammunition for adtech.
Not long ago I was "self-employed" (just work, no money), and had to go back to interviewing for a job after I ran out of money.

My biggest issue was gathering as much will as I could to start doing it. After the first 2 or 3 interviews, which were utterly terrible, I realized that the hardest thing was bearing those first rejections and shameful (to me) interviews. After that things got a bit easier each time until I landed a job.

So I would truly advice you to start with the process as soon as you can. Tomorrow if possible.

Keep in mind that you will almost for sure, blow the first few ones. Don't sweat it and keep going.

Of course, I would also advice you to do interview-type exercises at the same time. Again, the first few programs will feel terrible. You will definitely feel the pain. But just try doing 10 minutes at least. Then rest, even for a full day. Then try again.

Sooner than you think you will be back on track.

Oh! Didn't want to reflect the size of the street as a good, or bad, thing.

Just as another explanation why Paris can be SO dense, with buildings that aren't incredibly high - Buildings are packed in close to each other. The height of the buildings are a signature architectural element of Paris, broken only by the Tour Eiffel.

Businesses many times occupy the ground floor, with apartments up top - relatively normal in European cities, but against many zoning laws in the States.

The layout of the city certainly doesn't make owning a personal car all that, say, automatic of a choice. Paris is not a large city. When living there, I may have used the metroonce a month, but mostly just rode my bike to where I wanted to go (cheaper! and usually faster...). You could easily walk half the city in a relatively short amount of time (as I was oft to do after a party!). High speed trains could whisk you to many bordering countries in just a few hours. Ah! Paris: un joli désordre!

Exactly - if Google didn't get good business value from having so many employees working at a central HQ (and busing employees from SF to Mountain View), they wouldn't do it -- they could save a lot of money on salaries and office space by hiring a distributed workforce across the rural USA (and world).

They find the tangible and intangible benefits of a central HQ to be worth the price. They have so many small offices across the country that they could easily spread out their workforce nationwide and get out of the expensive Bay Area... if they felt it would provide value.

Guns are glorified in TV shows, movies and video games which is what has made them cool. I doubt guns would be viewed as cool if it weren't for those things. Growing up I felt they were cool too, until I had some responsible adults teach me that firearms are not toys, they can be fun to shoot, but they are very lethal and should be treated with the appropriate care and respect to ensure no one is killed or injured while handling. Sadly I think a lot of people haven't had the benefit of responsible adults, but I think a good many of us have.
