The issue of control with newsfeeds and RSS has been on my mind a lot the last year or so.

RSS and Atom are great as a protocol, but where things break down for me is in discovery, filtering, and selection of content.

There's a few traditional RSS/Atom readers I like, because I have complete control over the feeds I monitor. The problem with this is that then I have complete control over the feeds, and have no way to be alerted to content I might have otherwise missed. I think this is part of the "unread feed overload" problem mentioned by some others, that I just a firehose of feeds at me, with no prioritization of content.

The other end are more curated things, like Feedly. This is great, because I get alerted to things that are popular, but they're very centralized, and it seems like the more you get curation, the less often you're able to customize your feeds. Also, for whatever reason, with the curated systems, it seems like you kind of get the same things over and over again from different systems, like there's a set of feeds they all dip into and don't deviate from.

This is my ideal in an RSS/Atom reader (not saying it's realistic):

1. Open source

2. Good UI

3. Can import and export using OPML or other similar standard open format

4. Cross-platform, between desktop and mobile

5. Decentralized feed recommendation

The last part is where things go a little off the beaten path, which is that it would be nice to have some way to get introduced to popular content without it going through some centralized service, like a recommendation system that's decentralized.
It is interesting, it is related to this downside of C++ that templates have to be defined in header files, instead of say being compiled in some kind of module.
Lists are for iterating, tuples are for unpacking.

> The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider with the crushed crash attenuator

So, clearly, the AP is not capable of avoiding such obstacles yet, even when unobstructed. It also seems like a mistake to not slow down to a survivable speed when hands are off...
RSS has been the backbone of my online information management and news consumption since 2006 and it's still unrivaled. A web without is impossible to imagine. In my eyes, Feedly has done a fairly good job at making the format accessible even to average users.

> Get rid of the TV.

I agree this can be helpful. But it seems there are some deeper things going on.

I’m no psychologist or therapist, but it seems there are things going on at the emotional or psychological level that need to be addressed.

Of course I don’t know this person, but I imagine solely getting rid of the TV would just make room for a different “mind numbing habit”.
Human accidents, however, are not news.

"Tesla also posted these photos that raise another important question: they show what's called a "crash attenuator" or safety barrier in the proper condition ... and the way it was the day before Walter Huang's crash ... collapsed after a different accident."

Did you see any news coverage of the previous accident? I know I didn't.
> So I would ask you where you'd rather work? At an employer that trusts you not to leak stuff, or somewhere that doesn't trust you? If it's the latter, you might as well be a contractor.

Employers which still use trust at scale are ignoring their risk analysts. The risk of a secret leaking is proportional to the number of people who know the secret. You can reduce the risk with Stasi-style surveillance, or legal enforcement (e.g. legally classified state secrets), but few people wish to work under those conditions.

It's a false dichotomy because people would rather work for an employer that trusts them with the secrets they need to get their job done, and doesn't trust them with the secrets they don't need, a.k.a. the principle of least access. Openness in organizations is important insofar as people can attain access to information they need when they need it, but not unlimited access to everything, which ultimately reduces organizational trust when leaks inevitably occur.
How to make money then? It at least has to be sustainable.

Becoming a silverback: Leo's story (2016)
Behold the Next Generation VR Technology: Brain Interface by Kirill Karev
Your methodology appears sound but if I can offer you some improvements.

Ubuntu's non LTS releases seem to suffer far more issues comparatively. I would suggest you stick with LTS releases and for software which you need more recent versions you may look to individual ppa's for that project. It's a common misconception that such releases are years out of date. By default they are for say the kernel meanwhile user oriented software like say your web browser is easily quite up to date and can even be bleeding edge if you don't mind adding a few repos for the software most important to you.

Unlike Apple there is no singular entity that called Linux that can opt to do anything like say abandon the desktop. This is rendered doubly insane when you realize that desktop workstations actually work fantastic right now and are an area where Linux makes a ton of sense. The hardware is standard and interchangeable. Unlike a laptop if a part does not have good Linux support its trivial to swap out just that part for something that does. Business users care about stability and a small finite number of apps. While users are turning to laptops or even mobiles some workstation users will continue to need the significant horsepower that a desktop provides. Triply nutty when you consider that there is nothing whatsoever to be gained by abandoning the desktop. You are thinking in terms of a company narrowing its focus to enable it to devote increased resources to a smaller group of products but desktops but there is nothing about this analogy that actually works.

While improving support for particular laptops is a laudable goal I'm not sure it makes any contextual sense. People working at improving Linux are presumably worried about broad projects and subsystems not device specific hacking. Presumably part of improving things is taking bugs from users but how do you propose they focus on a small subset of laptops? Privilege the tiny subset of bugs that come from those users?

Developers are already paid to focus on particular laptops. Those paid by the oem to support those sold with linux reinstalled. There are dell machines sold with Linux preinstalled as well as a number of smaller vendors. If you really want this to be a happening thing the logical thing to do is to support vendors that sell Linux machines with your money.

In short we can continue improve Linux support on a particular subset of laptops without abandoning the desktop and you can help.

Amen.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. But almost nobody is offering RSS at the moment and most publishers who do drop the ball. Feeds are broken or partial.

It might be time to start from scratch though, I'm not sure RSS is simple enough for normal people. Podcast delivery format would be nice, where you subscribe and discover from one aggregated portal and it's finding similar content and making solid recommendations. Maybe inject some type of medium / rank feature so you can track trending content and subscribe to channels of what's popular.

I wonder how they would find out if some details are omitted. It is not an easy task to link/resolve people's current online identities let alone past (deleted ones). There is a ton of research centered around this but they are not so effective in practice! I know this because we tried to implement this for a research project on entity resolution.

How to Use Math to Get Rich in the Lottery [video]
This in itself sounds like a phishing attack. Is the mail authentic?
For seven years, a group of students from MIT exploited a loophole in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s Cash WinFall game to win drawing after drawing, eventually pocketing more that $3 million. How did they do it? How did they get away with it? And what does this all have to do with mathematical entities like finite geometries, variance of probability distributions, and error-correcting codes?
They were. It was just too complicated for people. I couldn't get my parents to setup RSS. No way.
Wouldn't you say that lists are for homogenous collections and tuples for short heterogeneous ones? Of course we use the Python "duck typing" definition for homogenous.
The latter solution is an implementation of the former solution.

Reversing a MacOS Kernel Extension
They told the technical team in no unclear words that the event is happening on these dates, and if the bugs are not fixed by then, heads are going to roll.
Yeah, they've been open and upfront about things like the fact you can't maintain them yourself (they refuse to provide service manuals except where required by law in MA, where even then you pay a three digit fee to -view-, not get, a copy, and have to make an appointment).

Or the fact that they will remotely downgrade your car (to an older software version) and remove features of it (disable ethernet ports) if they find you "snooping" and discover references to new models.

Thats the kind of openness and honesty you laud them for?
"Guys, if you head west now, we can intercept our shipment from PlayAsia by 0700."
This seems like a very weird model.

I like the sound of the product, but there are too many red flags there.
Bypassing of SSL certificate pinning in iOS applications
Besides the data, its interesting how the actual targeting was performed.

Does facebook provide an option to show a particular given ad to a particular given user? Or is it possible to select a group of people with a given set of likes? How fine-grained is facebook's audience selection mechanism for ads?

Or was the targeting performed by creating fake groups, befriending people?

What's "st"?
Reasonable, lawful, absolutely. People break the law, people get drunk, people get sleepy.

There's a spot just like this in Houston on 610 East. HUUUUUUGE flyover as the HOV lane spends about a half mile merging into the left lane of 610 (nice fat fast freeway, they need the runway). A guy had thought the flyway would be a safe place to park his car and wait for a tow. Safe enough that he was sitting on the hood of his car. Sure as shit the Challenger in front of me got confused, cut into the flyaway thinking it was a lane, hit the disabled car, and sent the guy flipping up into the air a good 10, 15 fit. Fucked up accident.

Anyway point is after the accident I was talking to the driver of the Challenger, trying to calm him down (kept saying "holy shit I fucking killed that guy!") and other that shock he was sober as a duck. He got bloodtested and everything, clean. In court he said he just got confused and thought it was a lane.

LONG STORY SHORT human error mang, human error. Still not sure why a car was able to do it.

They have those same white lines leading into intersections and people cross that shit all the time. People speed.
I would say that Reddit and hacker news are direct "competitors" to RSS readers, it's a different kind of syndication flow that certainly replaced my RSS Reader for me.

What is the question? Are you asking who breached 1Password? Some hacker, just like any breach.

Are you asking who tell the general public? Some hacker, or some chain of associates, just like any breach. HIBP only stores breaches that have previously been made public. So for for HIBP to "ignore" a breach, the breach has to already be public, so there will be news organizations covering the breach if it's big.
The equivalent example would be: "I might as well hack this account and take all the money because if I don't, someone else will".

I have no problem with: "I should inform the developers of the vulnerability (perhaps publicly to pressure them) so that it will be fixed because someone will hack it otherwise".
Norton Commander (and its clones, such as Volkov Commander, DOS Navigator) was very popular in ex-USSR — almost every computer running DOS (the majority of PCs in ex-USSR back then) had nc running as the main user interface to the PC, and was introduced in most computer education courses in the 90's.
I completely agree. When did RSS go out of style anyway?

The other day I wanted to subscribe to an author's posts on Medium, but I couldn't find a RSS feed anywhere, so I never did. Seems like a loss for the author to me, seeing as gaining influence and credibility is probably the goal of many who write posts. It would also seem as if Medium doesn't want to add RSS as it would take control away in terms of recommending content to people, etc. |
They show ads, but not based on your detailed personal profile, or content of your mail and things like that. Microsoft is a software company, not an ad company. I remember Microsoft making a big deal out of that at one point, saying that Google "reads" your email and stuff. That was really quite long ago, now things are even more personalized for Google and FB, whereas Apple and Microsoft has never been so deeply involved in the personalized ads business. There core business models are different.

I used RSS while Google reader existed, and I stopped using it for a few years after it disappeared.

Now, I'm using a service that sends some RSS feed to my email so so can read them directly from there. I think it's amazing as it has all the features I need (tagging, mark read / unread) and I don't need to open another website / application to read my news.

People with integrity have done this all the time, people with integrity are standing up and bringing these issues up constantly.

But frankly normal people cant be arsed to give up free services like google and facebook because they dont, cant, and wont afford the costs of those services at full.

Further - I am a dyed in the wool non facebook user who was warning about this from the day it was created.

But Facebook employees are correct in what they say.

They genuinely believe that they must be a force for good, and that their websites will bring people together.

It is the MOST essential thing for these people to be able to talk to each other candidly and clearly while they still believe in doing good and being ethical.

Because once that goes, the ability to say uncomfortable things, the only other option is to become the corporate behemoths that all SV-ites hate. To become a suit.

I can't understand how people on HN are missing this.

Facebook has been regularly an enabler - but for all those years HN has been cool with it.

Now, when the shoe has dropped, people here are displaying the same overreach and lack of nuance that created this scenario in the first place.

Facebook is the least of all evils. People are ALWAYS going to create this miserable form of social networking because its easier and matches human neuro patterns closely enough.

But this is the one time we will have a single institution which is not yet culturally made up of suits, who can institute or make the effort to fail correctly.

Facebook internally discussing this and realizing that there is no hope is more critical than people tearing facebook down.

Having a clear idea of objective reality, of being able to see our actual options as both employees at facebook, and as users of facebook (or friends with facebookers), is our best way forward.

This brings back memories of the syndication-format wars.

And not good ones, either. RSS 0.9x versus RSS 1.0 versus RSS 2.0 versus Atom versus CDF versus whatever else people came up with, and which formats are relatively self-contained versus which ones had to go borrow elements from other XML namespaces and whether you should "helpfully" supplement your feed (or even your XHTML!) with stuff pulled from Dublin Core, which formats have associated publishing protocols that actually work, the mess of trying to fit arbitrary content formats into feeds and bumping into XML arcana along the way and encouraging people to put autodiscovery links in their sites and...

Thankfully, for many years now I've published only an Atom feed, and it works, and that's that. And for reading I use Reeder, with a paid service that tracks my subscriptions and read/unread status, and it seems to just work. That wasn't always the case.

Medium has had RSS for quite a while, it just didn't link them in a page's metadata. I believe they do now.

For example:

https://medium.com/feed/@flockademic (user)

The latter also includes responses to stories though, which can be noisy.

Basically this is the end of the tech world and all those people who used to join these firms because they believed tech would make the world a better place.

I suspect its probably time for HN to be shut down soon as well.
