I think the statement

> People simply do not care about their privacy if its in conflict with convenience

is only partially correct.

So far I have been able to distinguish these kinds of people:

- people unaware

- people aware that try their best to keep privacy (if they are on facebook, they limit their usage - more or less like "lurkers")

- people aware and still posting stuff on FB/giving some permissions and they still do "something" (a bit more than lurkers above)

- people aware but "I don't have anything to hide", yet still unaware of the full potential of lack of privacy and they post whatever they want

- people aware and educated about privacy and "I don't have anything to hide" (yes, they do exist) and they still post whatever they want

> I simply cannot find the words to blame Facebook for this.

I have to disagree here as well. There are certain things which I agree with you on, e.g., this feature was enabled by default, because users want to have more convenience. Indeed! However, what about last week's scandal with Cambridge Analytica? And what else aren't we aware of? I am trying my best not to connect these two facts, yet, it seems there is a pattern when it's about user data => who cares, they don't know what they want.
Tools which become ubiquitous or prerequisites for other services are not discretionary.

Facebook is the Internet for many people, is required for authenticating by numerous services, and is how numerous groups and communities organise.

As such, its terms and services as those of numerous other services, should be defined in a standard set of obligations, rights, and responsibilities, by law.
The last descriptor I would use for 4chan is "cold calm rational".
What does analytics data have to do with it? It is neither personal nor sensitive if it is a game. Why are you trying to compare this with a social media site that can sell your sexual orientation and all your friends location to anyone. The uses are not just limited to manipulating the masses, it could also be used by kriminals or foreign governments who are looking for weaknesses among public officials (for example through their families). Analytics from a game (or any small app) cannot tell you these things on a useful scale and granularity.

Crazy thought. When a company with a ton of accumulated assets (data) craters, do the rules of bankruptcy and/or mitigating their losses to investors force them to just sell these assets outright?

This may not happen in the next few decades with the likes of Facebook, but imagine what kind of data that much smaller companies have that will just be sold off to the highest bidder, possibly de-anonymized to increase it's value. Does a user privacy contract hold any weight when a company is about to dissolve?

Yes, really. And I don't see why it would be dumb to answer that question, but no need to go on that tangent. If people can't respond then they can live with that being interpreted however it is.
Love your summary of the 4chan spirit. On point! It taught us that we shouldn't judge a message based on its communicator but only on the message itself.

The alpine userspace is also great to run in containers

my LXC container basically runs up DHCP to get an IP and a SSH server to provide a remote shell, everything else is per-server setup like webservers and stuff, compared to the ubuntu containers I run Alpine uses a LOT less memory and CPU.

Maybe it's irrelevant to you but I'm sure it's mighty relevant to some other users whether they are notified before employees dig into their private data to fix random bugs.
I was rather hoping one day GPU could be used as simple as CPU, and Drivers is barely needed. The problem with today's graphics pipeline is the amount of code and work required in Drivers. In the past have many GPU vendors, most of them could not get their drivers working right or performance enough. And Nvidia and AMD has no incentive of opening up, because their years of work in the drivers set are a barrier of entry for anyone who wants to step in to make a decent GPU.

May be Intel's forthcoming GPU will be a little more opened? May be Apple's has a Metal GPU in the making for Mac?

I see this sentiment in some form a lot. Is there a name for this principle? Where does it come from? I don't in general agree with it - speaking generally, I think enforcing this principle is a way to solve some problems, but not the best way - and would be interested in discussions about the principle itself.
Which version of Ubuntu? The last time I checked, --all was not enabled by default in Ubuntu? Can someone confirm if this is indeed true?

If this is indeed true, how do they achieve this? Do they modify git source code to achieve this?

Well since this article is from Intercom, I can share that we outsourced our support / chat / things to Intercom, instead of (what was also proposed at the time) building our own.
Let users generate tokens based on how much data they choose to share. Advertisers purchase tokens and proceeds are split between token holders based on their share of total tokens. Everyone wins - users are in full control, advertisers reach an audience, everyone gets paid.

Bullshit. The EU has exactly the same powers as the US government regarding antitrust enforcement against multinationals corporations.

But, as in the US or any other society ruled by law, antitrust fines and all other executive decisions can be challenged in court. That’s what Intel did, and the case is still pending.

I've explored potential Nix usage but I found it far to complicated and documentation on production usage rather lacking.

I would rather love something that explains me how to setup Nix on Alpine Linux and then deploy Nginx + PHP 7.1 with several websites. For desktop usage I enjoy tinkering with edge and upstream releases too much to consider Nix anyway.
That is amazing!

I've only tried it out for a few minutes, but it already functions really well.

One of the more important issues is the privacy - as I was installing the extension into chrome it asked me for permission to know my e-mail address. While as a user I might get easily deanonymized through my browsing patterns, but associating my browsing data directly with my e-mail is something I'd like to avoid.
Especially in light of current facebook discussions it would be very important to get privacy right.

There's something about saved/unsaved/open/closed workspaces that doesn't feel right. Maybe because I came to expect that everything gets saved. I'll think about it more.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the extension doesn't recreate the 'saved' workspaces, which adds a feeling of fragility.

Otherwise it looks great and search is a nice touch. Looking forward to shareable works spaces!

"occasional fines"?

Living in EU, and I am thrilled at the party we will have, when 1-2 million people/facebook users will send this letter to FB [1]. I strongly believe that this will hurt them financially (where it actually matters/hurts).

I (try to) sinkhole every tracker, advertiser etc. on my PC and jailbroken iphone. I am sure that I don't block every one, but 90% is better than 0%.

It may keep me busy, but when I start receiving the answers that FB, Amazon, etc. have provided my data to XYZ broker, and then I will be more thrilled when I send THOSE guys the same letter.

Of course after every inquiry they will be receiving a "right to be forgotten" letter.

Hurt them where it does until they learn to respect people and not see them as items to be traded.

Ps: I am not a hater. I enjoyed FB until it started to try to manipulate me e.g. altering my timeline and showing me what THEY deemed is 'good for me' (profitable for them).

Pps: They make enough from advertising. It was excessive greed that got them to start the sell-out.

Maybe it is just myself, but I see a lot of people actually believing that there is a simple equation:

I have your data=I can make you do whatever I want

Maybe I am too optimistic, but I would believe that - once set aside what the data/campaigns organizers say (to sell their services) - it is not like millions of people are so easily tricked into voting for this or that candidate.

If this is what happens, the big issue seems to me more about educating the seemingly way too gullible people, before and besides removing "fake news" and "targeted advertising".

You are on to something. Learning is incompatible with instant gratification mass consumer society. I was just at udemy event and online learning is shifting from gamification to social activity. And there is new research behind this that studied decade of online learning services and students at universities and private companies.

In short personal small projects and big group projects good. Campaign learning and just reading PDFs bad.

But big shock is that group learning with clear goal is so effective it dwarfs every other method. One graph showed like 5 to 1 better retention then gamified or solo learning.
Many look to Twitter as their new social media platform, that together with IG (which is owned by facebook sure, but it's "harder" to be political there, which it all comes down to in the end) and Snapchat as a messenger.

Google plus failed, so why wouldn't Facebook eventually do so also? The youth don't have Facebook, it's mostly the 20-40 year olds who do. This 20-40 generation follow the mainstream media news and most of them are capable of realizing the harm in not protecting ones own privacy. Also, the current theme of news regarding social media is that it's being seen as a threat to democracy due to the ease of massive manipulation through political propaganda. A huge attack! Threaten democracy and the people will hate it.
> forgotten realm of democratising programming

This phrase reminded me of a thought I once had, that the removal of the compiler as a first-class application in user-centric OS distributions was an imperial gesture to enforce class hierarchies among end-users: you were either a user, incapable of making your computer do new things, or you are a developer, who must be convinced to make computers do new things using rules and policies (and tools) that were forced upon you by the Powers That Be™.

I think one thing we should be demanding, as computer power users/developers, is the return of software development tools to the forefront of the computing experience. It is unacceptable that computers are being shipped today without the means of making them productive, other than participation in a walled garden.

I know its a tall order, but I'd love to see an OS vendor make a serious point of making their users better developers, not worse.
How we got interviewed by Techcrunch
Ask HN: What is the SAAS you currently pay for and don't mind paying for?
In addition what is the price you pay for it like monthly. For example, I pay for Netflix & WWE Network $9.99/month.
No, that's the price of typo tolerance and search-as-you-type, until the user validate the query you have no way to distinguish between prefix and full word.

Search-as-you-type is much more a guide during the search, it shows you a preview of possible results from what you've currently typed both as a whole query and as the beginning of a query.

All other variation are worth: no prefix during search as you type means that you'll have an empty result most of the time or things that are completely irrelevant; keeping prefix on the final search means that you'll see a lot of irrelevant results (especially with typo-tolerance).

That's a win/win for you. If society fails and you need to eat roasted rats or humans to survive, you have a meal ready for you.

Ok, start here:

* Nextcloud - https://nextcloud.com/providers/

* Diaspora - https://bitnami.com/stack/diaspora (not that you need to host, see https://diasporafoundation.org/#get_started)

* Mastodon - https://masto.host/ (again, like diaspora hosting isn't needed, see http://joinmastodon.org/)

Of the above, only Nextcloud generally needs some sort of hosting (which is reasonable given what it does), but there are plenty of low overhead options. It's not expected that normal people host their own Diaspora or Mastodon instances, there are plenty of open instances for people to choose from.

I'd like to see development democratised as well, but I think the reason for the change is that not expecting users to be developers made software easier.

Not just the failure of desktop Linux, but also Windows, which still asks regular users if they want to 'debug' a crashing app. To most people, 'debug' means 'fix' and the button just doesn't work.

Ask HN: Where to invest 200k / year
I own a software company and it profits about 200k a year, after all expenses, including my salary and tax.
Its not a big business but it works great and i love what i do... I dont want to remove the money from the company (as a dividend to me), as i would pay a lot of tax again and i dont need it personally.
Its also hard to re-invest that money in the software company, because i just do client projects, have some contractors and a most depends on me doing it myself.
All i could do is invest in marketing and hope for bigger projects which can be done by employees, but that seems like a shot into the blue... Also i have no clue where to start on this.

So the question is what to do with it... I dont like traditional investments like stocks or index, and i am not sure about real estate...

I used a part and started a mining farm at a local water power plant... its fun and works quite well... but i dont want to put too much into crypto =)
I also plan to put some into peer-to-peer lending.. but also, no significant amounts.

I would like to invest in some semi-automated businesses... like lending cars, renewable energy plants... something which requires some amount of time, money and maybe technical expertise (like setting up a website or some required software stuff), but it should be able to run either mostly on itself or by employees on the long term.

Maybe i would also be happy to do small angel-invests (40-70k) into companies which need some technical expertise as well..
I dont really care for the risk of the investment as i am not hurt if the money is gone, but for sure i will verify if the potential payoff is in relation to the risk.

any ideas ?

EAs optimise black-box objective functions. NFL prevents them from doing well on all possible objective functions. But rather weak assumptions are enough to evade NFL, for example the assumption that maximal steepness in the objective space is not achieved (there are many others also). It's particularly easy to make such assumptions when the problems arise in our universe (that's the subset of problems we're interested in), because our universe has structure -- see eg Lin and Tegmark.

I suspect I know the answer, but I have faint hope that it's not true and somebody can provide a bit more "sane" explanation.
