skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
A few reasons:

1. For me, the damage is already done. Facebook has over a decade of data from me, and even if I were to delete my account the Cambridge Analytica story shows that Facebook has already shared that data. Even if there was a way for Facebook to delete all of my data, they've already lost control. It's like taking the bullets out of a persons gun after they have shot you. You're still wounded.

2. Facebook has largely become the social network where you interact with people you don't really care about. My feed is full of third-party content, and stuff about people I haven't seen in years - people I knew from school, people I don't even like, etc. If I delete Facebook I delete my ability to be nosy, and I think that's why a lot of people won't delete their accounts. Whether you're perving on the guy/girl at school that went from zero to ten, laughing about some asshole from school now has a shitty life and several failed relationships, or how many kids the girl from your English class has popped out since leaving school, Facebook will always be the platform for that.

3. Despite its flaws, it's the closest we've got to a universal social network. I do BJJ a few times a week, and outside of a few people I know that everyone at my gym is on Facebook, so if I want to chat to any of them I can use messenger, or I can add them as a friend.

Most of all, I genuinely don't believe anything bad will happen to Facebook as a result of this. Their higher-ups might get a grilling from ministers/congress, but they will get away with their crimes - and make no mistake, these should be serious crimes. Facebook allowed access to their data under false pretences, and the first news to come from the arrest warrant was that Facebook engineers were on-site right away at Cambridge Analytica. In a just world, Facebook would be fined for every breach of a persons data, to the tune of tens of billions. The fine should be so great that it forces Facebook to scale back their operations and completely restructure their business. In reality, someone might go to jail at Cambridge Analytica, but this practice will continue. If anything, this practice will be promoted as an unethical, but unpunishable tactic across the world.
The problem here in Asia is every manager loves working day and night, destroying their family life (or preventing themselves from even having one) and developing zero interests outside of work until they're of retirement age.

The problem is that the people under the manager aren't all like this. Especially not 67.1% of them.

The problem is that the vast majority of managers will ask you why you're in such a hurry to leave. It's only 8 o'clock and I'm still here. Are you implying that your business is more important than mine? Everyone else is staying here, so why are you leaving so soon? You know, if you keep leaving early, our division might not do well enough and we can't pay bonuses (which are really a full month's income that we deduct from your normal pay hold over your head for times like this). Is your wife asking you to come home early? I don't think a woman like that is good for you.

I'll be frank, you're an exception. Most people here don't want to work overtime. The problem is they know that they need to, and they need to pretend to want to, or they'll be dealing with stuff like this every single day. Programmers are odd folks and we tend to like solving problems on our own, and money only makes it better. The average office worker in Japan making Excel spreadsheets at a rate of 2 boxes an hour isn't eager to be sitting there any longer. They're just know kacho will be on them and making them feel worthless because they're young and don't know the value of sacrificing their valuable life for the monetary gain of the CEO who inherited the company from his dad and never worked a day in his life.

People who sleep more and do less overtime are more productive than those doing needless overtime. And when it comes to Asia, virtually all overtime is needless overtime. If work piles up from basic holidays or not putting in excess time, there are one of two problems: people aren't using their time properly, or more likely, companies should be hiring more people.
A more charitable assessment might be that Mozilla is trying to serve too many use-cases. Chrome is quite happy doing the 20% work that gets them 80% of the userbase, and all the users that Chrome happily sidelines come running to Firefox.

That's cool, but some of those users have wildly different priorities, like we see in this case. Some users want protection from interference by their government or their ISP, and couldn't care less if some of their metadata winds up in a database on the other side of the world. Other users are quite relaxed about their local government or ISP, but don't want any of their stuff entering US jurisdiction. And it's not practical to set up a world-wide infrastructure of DNS-over-HTTPS servers just to find out whether it's worthwhile.

It's not so much that Mozilla feels "they can use user devices for whatever they like", as much as Mozilla's at a local maximum, and trying to improve anything for some part of their userbase means neglecting some other part, even if only temporarily. And then the neglected parts feel betrayed.
Extending your argument only a bit, "No one is forcing you to use Firefox stable release version if it is not consistent with your faith". "No one is forcing you to use computers and internet if they are not consistent with your faith". I see so much irony in your statement. It's not about forcing anyone. It's about taking the web forward, and data security which Mozilla says it believes in. Nightly definitely means there could be unintentional mistakes and bugs, but does not mean it has our blanket agreement to intentionally sharing all of our private data by default.
This is the natural consequence of willingly giving so much money and power to our "big" governments. Surprise, surprise - they will use it.
I've been experimenting with it for two years, along with a high-nutrient diet based on vegetables (almost no refined foods). I just did about two weeks at 1,000 calories per day and am on day 3 of a water fast. I'll increase the caloric intake next week.

I hope it's safe. Some else posted this link in a comment, and it's worth reading too:

No, actually it's not. Germans are under this impression because it's considered equivalent inside Germany.
James Bond's academic nous was famously demonstrated by his First in Oriental Languages from Cambridge. The most common qualification for a career in British government is an Oxbridge undergraduate degree in PPE. A top grade in an undergraduate course from a top university is, and has always been the most "useful" qualification for people with career ambition in the UK.

I'm pretty sure your friends in the manufacturing industry are bound by union contracts (Tarifverträge) which tend to define these things in ways that are meant to be difficult to adjust on a per-person (or per-company) basis to protect every worker equally.

I have friends working at agencies where unpaid overtime is the norm. I also have friends working in industrial jobs where they complain when they have to work 40 hours (rather than the normal 35) and every hour of overtime is merely compensated at 200%. Oh and he made a pretty decent wage straight out of school.

Talking about "privilege" in this context creates the false impression that all IT workers automatically have it better than traditional industrial workers in every aspect.
Anyone who goes after weed as being the "life killer" before even making a casual mention to alcohol can usually be safely dismissed as moralizing.
I think the problem is even in this thread some people in similar situation express a very different set of preferences on how someone should behave/interact which in natural as we are all different yet since people are afraid of offending someone and often have no basis for figuring out how a particular person feels and "what the rules are" they are afraid to interact in any way.

I like Forgotten Weapons. It has serious historical information, and I will be pissed off if Google deletes it.

It seems to be that the principle behind net neutrality -- that of a common carrier -- shouldn't just apply to the ip layer, but should also sometimes apply to higher levels of the technology stack, especially when a provider has a large market share.
Minor caveat: Berlin is not Germany. Berlin is fairly international so a lot of the infrastructure adapts to that, including public services. You'll still run into plenty public service workers speaking only German (and maybe rudimentary English) outside Berlin.
I guess it depends on where in Europe you're from. This doesn't seem to be the case in the UK, where a lot of employers really couldn't care less if you're got a Masters of not.

Hell, when I was studying for a masters, I felt that it was essentially a half-way course towards getting someone ready for a career in academia. Others also used it as a way to get a good university name on their CV so big companies would look at their applications.

There can be various degrees of hysteria around both those topics, but the equivalency you seem to be suggesting is false, for me. The internet doesn't enable trafficking as directly as guns enable shootings.
What do startup founders typically get wrong when starting a business?
Young entrepreneurs make so many mistakes. Here are the most common mistakes in my opinion:

1. Lack of a clear development plan.
2. Incorrect identification of the target audience or just ignoring this step.
3. Using wrongheaded strategy copying of all steps of the competitor.
4. Too large investments which in the future don't pay off (This results from 1 and 2 points).
5. Choosing too complex a business model for implementation. It's strange, but for some reason, many young businesses do not follow the proven rule "the simplicity of genius".
6.Saving money on promotion.
7. Choosing the wrong developers.
8. Choosing the wrong promotion specialists.
9. Involving too many employees for an easy task or charging a large number of tasks to one person.

And unfortunately, this list can be continued indefinitely.

A lot of beginning entrepreneurs fail because they are simply not ready to implement the conceived concept. But it is good that in 2018, there are many opportunities for growing and developing startups. Remember, do not make this harder than it has to be.

As mentioned by another commenter, chronic low-level inflammation is one risk factor. This can lead to DNA damage that leads to cancer.

Gallstones are a characteristic of chronic gallbladder inflammation, and a history of gallstones is a strong risk factor for gallbladder cancer.

Obese people have increased levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), high levels of IGF-1 may promote the development of multiple cancers.

Correlations between several cancers and obesity range between 5-50% (eg: ~10% in women can be directly attributed to obesity, ~50% of gallbladder cancer in women can be directly attributed to obesity).

Correlations between cancer risk and healthy weight levels are strong, where (for example) those that maintain healthy weight levels are more likely to be more mindful of what they eat.

You need to have SERIOUS evidence for the claim that autonomous driving will actually be safer than human driving one day to even attempt to make this argument of yours. "Faith in technology" is not "evidence"!

If your faith is strong enough, you'll surely be welcome if you sign away all of your rights and serve as irrational traffic participant in a city where self-driving cars are tested. You could run through the city all day and produce difficult safety-critical situations by suddenly walking in front of them.

My faith isn't strong enough for doing that, so I expect lawmakers to protect me from companies like Uber who apparently think it's okay to basically make me their guinea pig in their public experiments. But I'll applaud you if you decide to take the risk on yourself for the (potential, unproven) advancement of the human race!
It seems that the author is talking about occasions where a stranger steps in to 'give a hand'. I think you too would react like this, when a total stranger comes up to you and touches you, even if it was to remove some dirt from your coat? Appearantly, there are some people who seems to think that because a person is disabled, the normal rules with respect to touching, no longer apply, and that you are free to touch a disabled person, either to help them or to pad them on the head.
I like Telegram and I find it one of the best messengers ever. They have true native applications, a library, there's even a decent libpurple plugin.

However, I couldn't get people to use it. It's constantly under political pressure because big bad encryption and Bad People are using it, despite the fact that lot of other messengers offer the same (including basically anything with OTR plugins, say, ICQ via Pidgin).

Telegram could and should be great, but the pressure needs to go away from it. I really wonder why Whatsapp, with it's encrypted-by-default approach is not under this level of attack. It's good I'm not into conspiracy theories.

Anyway, in the end, I ended up using it with my wife and nobody else. This made me realise I could just set up an XMPP server (Prosody in this case) next to my already existing mail server and use that with her. At least I have complete control over that.
I agree, without taking security into consideration, Telegram's user experience is great.

The clients are very nice, as the data is stored on the server, you can access it from any device (great on desktops and tablets, I hate not being able to send whatsapp messages from my iPad) and it doesn't fill your phone with the stupid videos people send to groups (many of my family members ask me why their phones are full and WhatsApp is always the culprit).

Furthermore, Telegram Channels are great. It is all the advantages of Twitter, without the noise. Some Spanish journalists that I like are starting to create Telegram Channels and it is a great experience to just receive their messages, without the RTs, and angry answers of other users.

Furthermore, I have a Channel myself which I use to publish opinions. It has only 10 followers, which are friends of mine which I know will appreciate. I really like the experience.

Also, Telegram has great integration with IFTTT, which I use a lot!

And back in my day your parents would find a good match for you and that would be that. You youngsters screwed up the whole courting scene. It used to be a man could get a good wife if he only had a job. Then you needed charm. And the whippersnappers of today are even worse! Using text!
But they aren't lying are they? "We care about your privacy" is not a lie just because they care out of necessary for their share price, it's just not the unreasonably ideal situation you want. You cannot reasonably expect everyone with the same goals to have perfectly aligned intent, and you certainly cannot expect a company of tens of thousands of people to all completely align their intent not only as a collective but also with you as an individual.

If their goals shift, forced by their intent, you drop them. I can't see any other way to pragmatically get along or make progress in life.

I'm already a pedestrian surrounded by unsafe human drivers, and every day I hate what I see. What I'm talking about is making a tradeoff between risk now and risk later such that my total risk is lower. I'd take that tradeoff, and I think it's the ethical thing for society to do. What you're talking about is NIMBY, which certainly makes sense locally -- better for some other locale to perfect the technology -- but on the societal level I think it's wrongheaded. But don't worry; there's no danger anybody will take my stance on it seriously. Autonomous vehicles will not be widely deployed until they're provably drastically better than humans.
I am from America and just started my Masters in Germany. From my experience so far the vast majority of my fellow students are directly from their bachelors. After talking to my German friends, classmate they told me the majority of graduates needs a Masters to get a decent paying job. For generic jobs/degrees such as business administration it seems to be more commonplace to go directly into the job market after your bachelors, however for any specialized field a Masters is almost required. I have also spent the last few months job hunting in Germany and almost all jobs require a Masters or currently studying for a Masters.
Nice; thanks!

If you want to build it you'll need a working copy of MCL and a PPC mac. The requirements may be slightly narrower than that. SK8 had some low-level bits that might rely on some details of the Mac System version or hardware. I don't rememberenough of the details anymore, but you might need to try a few different PPC models and system versions. System 7 or 8 is probably a decent bet, as is any mac hardware that was shipped with it.

I can reply to a telegram message from the computer and use a proper keyboard. The context switch seems far less interrupting to me as a result.
I think many software projects should be called “done”, but startups hire lots of people and add tons of new features in the name of growth.

I’m working on a SaaS service that does one thing really well, and I think it’s pretty close to being done. The code is very solid, and I rarely see any bugs or error reports (thanks to React, Immutable.js, and Flow.) The infrastructure is autoscaling and requires very little maintenance (thanks to convox.)

There’s always more features and integrations I could add, but I’m getting enough customers without them. It will require some ongoing work (e.g. updates for security vulnerabilities), but I’m not too interesting in trying to turn my table into a house. I'd rather follow the Unix philosophy and build a lot of very nice tables.
I'm in the weird situation where I have to say that it looks like you might have been right, but for the wrong reasons.

My point was that it would have been stupid to attempt to cover anything up. This was never going to go like a normal car accident. Every layer of local law and order would have seen it, the governor would have seen it, Uber employees (people, not an amorphous evil blob) and then the public would have eventually seen it. Hiding anything would have been a PR disaster, perhaps with criminal after-effects, and there were too many people —whose own safety depends on this— for a cover-up to work.

So it's even more ridiculous now that I've seen the video that shows an event that an able human would have spotted, braked and swerved that this Uber did not. Just using light, this should have been a near miss. But these vehicles supposedly have multiple sorts of radar-type equipment, don't they? They should have seen this well ahead of what a human could.

But yes, now there also needs to be a very serious investigation into the events that lead to the statement saying it was the pedestrians fault, or unavoidable.
