I think the issue is not the Android Facebook messenger. It's Android. Because you have a platform that not only permits apps to do this, but an app store that approves apps which does this.

I am hoping to get my own data from Facebook and check it against when I switched to Windows as a mobile OS. As it stands, only two built-in apps, People and Messaging, have access to my call history.

There was very little risk for the acquiring company or banks who loaned the money. Bain partnered with the real estate company Vornado Realty Trust in the Toys-R-Us deal. The bank loans were secured by Toys-R-Us assets that will be auctioned off, and Vornado will re-develop the land that Toys-R-Us stores sit on - everybody wins. Except for the 30,000 Toys-R-Us employees of course.
My guess.. the friends you are coordinating with have your number in their contacts list, which they then allow FB to see. FB associates that number with that group of people, and also separately associates your 'fake' account with that same group of people, since you're using it to coordinate with them. Now, if anybody else has your number in their contacts, FB might decide to show them to the 'fake' account, since they know somebody associated with the group you associate with. Three degrees of separation from your friend -> your number -> your friend group -> your 'fake' account

A lens to look at this through is the struggle for control over the population. The competing factions in the Middle Ages were very different from those now - so the manifestations of authoritarianism naturally differed in the Middle Ages. Large numbers of holy days (holidays) went hand in hand with simony and temporal power emanating from Rome. The church was just as rapacious and self-interested as the lords who claimed ownership over the peasantry.

So then, a fractious feudal nobility, the ruler, and the church, now fractious corporate powers and a more unified state, with the church faded to irrelevance in temporal matters. The only constant is the undiminished desire to order the lives of others in order to farm them for profit, to be the stationary bandit.

Even if matters were the same, however, the march of technology would still make the present a far better place to live than the past. It is technology, not politics, that is the greatest driver of quality of life.

I think one of us is misunderstanding the tweet here.

I read it as these calls are between OP and OP's Partner's mother. Meaning OP is a first-party in all of the calls. OP may not have been the source of the data, but OP was involved in the data, so the data was revealed to OP when he exported all of it.
Ask HN: What metadata structures are new to the IoT?
We've been making the rounds over all the options over and over again for planning a new app, and we always reluctantly come back to Electron.

Qt? No mobile, slower development.

Java? No mobile, deployment nightmare, Oracle cooties, and often just as heavy as Electron.

Native UI? Out of the question. We don't have anywhere near the resources to develop our app four to five times, implement every new feature four to five times, etc.

Others are some combination of immaturity, lack of mobile support, out of date, lack of support for internationalization and accessibility, etc.

I agree that Electron is cancer, but until there's a better game in town it's the only thing that could possibly meet our needs.

We would pay for a better option, but unfortunately there are probably not enough of us to make another option economically viable. Nobody pays for developer tools so it's an awful market for startups, and a modern UI API with cross platform capability is just too much work for independent open source efforts.

My dream would be a really clean cross platform UI library that lets you develop in a language like Go or Rust.

UI development in 2018 is a sad state of affairs. It was better in many ways in the 1990s and early 2000s. We had wxWidgets and Qt then and they were decent. Mobile "ruined" it by introducing another incredibly popular UI paradigm that rendered literally everything written to date obsolete.
In fact your whole post misses the grandparent post's point. Their point was that they _absolutely intend to do_ what you just said. However, very little of what we do as humans in conscious decisions. Most of it is autonomic pattern response.

Forgetting disabilities for a moment: if you are not used to being around _children_ then the first time you are surrounded by them you'll act completely weird. Because they are different than you're usual pattern. With sufficient exposure you adapt, you integrate that slight variation into the pattern and all is well. For some patterns you act differently (you act different for children than adults) for some you won't act differently (for most disabled children you act the same as for other children) but in all cases exposure is the key because we humans are imperfect pattern recognition machines.

Also though, some people are just assholes. I mean don't baby talk to anyone ever.

This is field dependent, it feels more like an attribute of certain types of data rather than certain algorithms.

Reinforcement learning was on my mind when I was writing about "practical supervised learning applications" because yes, RL is different in that regard. And various function calculation examples (starting with XOR) indeed do so.

However, if we're applying neural networks for the (wide and practically important!) class of "pattern recognition" tasks like processing image or language data, then it's different, and those are full fields where you can easily spend a whole career working on just one of these types of data. Perhaps there's a relation with the structure and redundancy inherent in data like this.

> That's a cheap price to pay for E2EE only.

It may be cheap for you.

But why not let me make that decision? You're assuming

- a) everyone has a phone number

- b) everyone has ONE phone number

- c) everyone has a phone

- d) everyone has ONE phone

- e) said phones have a good battery life, lots of storage, and are always on a fast unlimited internet.

- f) you want to give your phone number to everyone you want to talk to

For some of my chats, I'd want that sure, and the price in those cases is cheap.

For many other cases, no, I'm not willing to pay that price. I'm not willing to keep my phone on and with me all the time and provide it with fast expensive internet, just so I could say hello to some people.

You might say that I can find another service, or that I don't understand the price I'm paying. I did and I do. I'm only debating your claim that the price is cheap and putting it into general perspective.
I think you have confused cause with effect.

Debt is cheaper than equity. The purchaser isn't diluting their equity returns as much so in theory they're getting a higher return. Interest is usually slightly higher than usual corporate lending so banks win. The profits should be more positive so the purchasee employees should be better off.

So a LBO is a generally good idea other than its much more complicated and only scales to large purchases (like a nationwide toy store, perhaps)

The effect you're probably confusing with the cause, is a deal thats dead, zero-sum or worse, with a pure equity structure might barely flip slightly positive if you do some financial alchemy and run it as a LBO... however thats exactly the kind of situation thats highly likely to crash and burn, no matter what you do. Essentially you get to try doing nothing and go out of business two years ago, do a pure equity deal and go out of business last year, or do a LBO and go out of business this year, or maybe, possibly, LBO has the best chance of making it.

Its a common pattern often seen in military or business argument, a small scale tactic that maximizes success (minimalizes failure, I guess) when in retreat somehow gets blamed as the sole cause of the entire retreat itself. Smoke grenades screen a retreat better than clear air, therefore the war was lost or maybe a bad idea to start because we tossed smoke, well, it doesn't really work that way.

In a very wide sense you are sort of correct that a deal or a company thats only microscopically barely alive by using every trick in the book including LBOs is correctly perceived as a dead company walking; just remember that almost all companies that successfully LBO are never talked about, therefore in a weird survivorship bias like scenario the general public will never hear about LBOs except in the case of a dead company. A good analogy would be lots of people who die immediately spent some time in a ICU, therefore there seems no purpose to ICUs other than death. However, many/most people only spend a little while in ICU and then recover but you'll never hear about it, they'll just call it post op recovery or critical care or some similar euphemism.

Another weird medical analogy is doctors play an odds game. If the medical advice is the lowest risk treatment X is 90% success and 10% fatal, one patient dying doesn't disprove that advice, especially if 9 or more live, also you're only likely to hear about the fatalities which causes a false belief that docs are always wrong.

I know only the Pro model of the iPad supports the pencil. I'm assuming - hoping! - these new iPads do as well. I did not know about Chromebooks having pen support. Given this I don’t see how Apple can make a compelling case for the iPad.

When the iBooks development software came out I was excited. I create my own materials for my college math courses and I wanted to write a book. But iBooks is only on Apple devices so why would I spend time creating materials for iBook? Apple needs to open up some of their stuff if they want a wider adoption in education.

> You can use Hermit to replace many proprietary bloated apps, and even create pseudo "apps" for sites that don't feature one, like this site, with a nice icon on your desktop.

Do you really need another "app" for that? Why not just use a browser and save links to your home screen for the sites you want to access directly? As a bonus, you can install plugins like uBlock Origin and Decentraleyes and prevent the browser from leaking data to Google Analytics and 500 other data harvesting centers every time you load your "apps".

> I "deleted" my FB more than 8 years ago, but since it was not possible to actually delete the data it was only disabled. In January I decided to re-activate it to get in touch with old acquaintances. Surprisingly, all of my pictures, contacts, and other interactions were there. Even a pending friend request was pending for 8 years.

There's a bit of a mixed message here. When you reactivated your account, you wanted to get in touch with old acquaintances. Yet you expressed surprise when your contacts were still there, even though you presumably wanted them to be. Was that a pleasant surprise? Or you were reactivating your account only with the intention of starting from scratch 100%?

> a dozen real-life friends ... used an email address I created just for Facebook

Faking data doesn't work when they have a significant shadow profile with 'votes' from many of your friends. I imagine some of your dozen real life friends have your real email in their contact lists. You giving a fake one might just set a flag that your 'vote' is not to be relied on!

Correlating with a dozen people posting events, activities etc probably reveals rather a lot about time0ut.

> I'm willing to tolerate a lot of deaths in the process, contingent on the deaths actually helping researchers and engineers reduce future faults. I would happily take a million deaths right now if it meant driverless tech instantly became available to everyone

For the sake of the discussion, let us assume that this is hyperbole and that "happily" was an infelicitous word choice. That said it raises a few questions:

- Uber and the other companies presumably are developing this technology for their own private benefit and do not plan to make it "available to everyone". In which case, how many deaths are acceptable?

- Should they be successful and succeed in developing a safe autonomous driving system should they be compelled to make it "available to everyone"?

- Are these million doomed citizens volunteers with informed consent or are they to be struck down unawares at random?

- What if the technology proves more difficult to develop than you anticipate? Suppose that after one million are sacrificed for the greater good it is improved but not yet good enough. Should we then continue with another million or should we abandon the project after only one million fruitless deaths?

- Assuming success, should we then ban human driven vehicles completely?

As much as I agree with him, you can't really change human social wiring.

-you're more likely to talk to an attractive person, than an unattractive one

-you're more likely to engage in a conversation with an eloquent person that an stutterer.

-you're less likely to make eye contact with a disabled person compared to an undisabled one

etc etc

It's human nature and there's nothing wrong with that, I think the better approach is recognizing that and ignoring it rather than flagging it as an issue.
How do you teach programming without pencil and paper ?
People really dont understand the term productivity. Productivity is produced value / hours of work. So usually people that work the hardest will have lower productivity that does not mean less value produced. Something can have very bad productivity but be very profitable and generate a lot more value than something else with bigger productivity.
In his mind, as I see it, the Enlightenment is about this special group, whose membership is defined by doing enlightenment things for us all.

Some of the 2m apps on Google Play are written to achieve some goal for you and not interrupt you or grab your attention. I think the people who write such apps are great, and do something very good in a small way. Now, who are these people? That set of people is defined by the good thing they do.

Saving 100m people's lives is a bigger act than writing a good smartphone app. The principle is the same: The membership of the group is attained by doing.

"Leisure" might not mean exactly what we think it means today.

I think it'll be obvious to anyone who's worked in a manual labour job e.g. construction, farming, etc, even with today's tools,
you can't physically do these at anything but a "leisurely pace" and a limited amount of hours a day, with breaks for rest, food etc.

Specially in warmer climates. Claiming that this means that life was easy is a little bit dishonest here.

There's a limit to what's humanly possible, digging ditches with shovels for 8 hours a day is not equal to sitting in an office for same 8 hours.
No matter how many breaks you have, and at how "leisurely pace" you're digging.
Yes it's a bad idea.

Imagine we had legalized drugs, but barely anyone wanted to make them, because making them was nasty and degrading in a way that few people could even tolerate. No matter what you did, you simply couldn't find enough people willing to make them. Paying them more wont help, because beyond a certain point the nastiness of making them can't be washed away with money.

So the next step is coercing people to do so.
