I have a smart TV and have simply never connected it to the Internet. I see no reason to. I watch movies and play games on Xbox, watch TV through my cable box. Terrestrial TV works just fine without an Internet connection. Is there anything else I should be doing? Am I missing something?
Maybe it is connected to the tilt of the earth? It orbits the equator rather than the ecliptic plane of the sun.

Generally, it comes down to a choice between losing/spending money on churners or losing/spending it on advertising. I'd wager some are and others aren't doing their long term math right, but regardless that dynamic emerges, and it recurs.

Typically it emerges where "customer acquisition" is hugely expensive or important and this typically emerges when either (1) it is a winner-take-most-game or (2) the product is an ironic "commodity:" A product that is 90% standardized under the hood but has a sales oriented differentiation layer. EG, the underlying product is electricity, cable TV or money market stuff like insurance or loans. The company you deal with as a customer is a customer services, sales & marketing layer. Guess how they compete.

That's correct. Even in a factory environment, where most of the noise is in the lower frequencies, you'll still end up with a noise notch at 4 KHz. It has to do with the anatomy of the ear.

> You still have to assume that anything to post on Twitter will be public forever.

That's generally a good assumption to make, it's definitely the case for HN. But finding someone's old tweets is orders of magnitudes easier via Twitter's advanced search, than to try to retroactively find them via Google and hope one of the disparate social-media-mirroring sites have captured them. Even Internet Archive will only have a spotty record of someone's timeline -- and IA won't capture the /with_replies endpoint since that requires being logged in.
"I do also think that, you know, Facebook has a responsibility to its users to protect their data and not just to protect it but make sure that people understand what data they're producing and whether they own it, who has access to it and when.

And Facebook has failed them, you know, across the board.

And the question now is not just what - you know, what can be done to ensure the security of that data. It's, how can we use this moment to ensure that we're having a broader cultural conversation about the data that we're all creating on Facebook, Google, Amazon, through our phones, et cetera and make sure that the companies are held accountable for it?"

And yet no one has ever seriously claimed that clouds are an illusion.

I don't understand this need that behaviorists have to not just set the inner life aside but to claim that it doesn't even exist. It clearly does. It's the one thing each of us knows with utmost certainty. Just because there might be an explanation for it based on more fundamental principles—principles which, I might add, we are nowhere near understanding—doesn't mean it's not real.

While true about whole carbs, a lot of people are mislead on what that means. A lot of whole grain cereal (such as multi-grain cheerios) is processed enough that you don't get any of the benefits of it being whole grain and it's digested like simple carbs. I remember reading something similar about whole grain pasta as well. My opinion based on what I know is that while complex carbs are fine in moderation, the average American consumes way more simple carbs than they should because carbs in general were pushed as the healthy alternative to the "heart killing" saturated fats.

Is Cloudflare overriding TTLs on RRs?

If I send a request to 1.0.0.1 for a specific RR that I'm 99.9% certain isn't cached (although I didn't check the query logs on the authoritative DNS servers to verify a request actually came in), the response contains the (expected) TTL of 14400.

If I then send the same request to 1.1.1.1, I get a response that is identical except with a TTL of 3591 seconds.

According to the timestamps in my client, the second request was made nine seconds after the first one (3591+9=3600), hence my question: is Cloudflare "overriding" the TTL I explicitly set on this specific RR (14400s) with a different TTL (i.e., 3600s)?
Note it looks like it's for developing drivers to run on embedded ARM devices in silicon validation. I'm at least as uninformed as anybody here, but that has lots of non-earth-shaking interpretations.

If you have, say, a farm of little ARM-driven devices that you use as test harnesses for chips or other hardware, it isn't necessarily cheaper to port whatever variation of xnu to this particular hardware than to use an existing port of Linux and hire some folks who can help with the low level I/O bits. There might even be Linux in your world because, e.g. an acquired company built something on it that hasn't been worth porting.

Or any of a ton of other possibilities.

Having an OS doesn't mean you have to use (variations of) it for everything, especially if the new use you're thinking about is far from your usual.
> I couldn't find a non-smart TV. They are everywhere. If you want the 4k, then you have a smart TV.

Or, hmmm... How about simply not buying that 4k if it is "smart".

The only feedback channel you have to the makers about your displeasure over the TV offerings is to simply not buy one.

They listen to nothing else. If the unit sells, they don't care about any other expressed dislikes (it sold, after-all). If the unit does not sell, and none of the units sell, only then do they listen.

But as I said at the outset, too few folks care enough to make a dent in their sales figures. So those of us who do care are left with simply not buying a new TV.

You seem to be commenting out of context:

> generate a new encryption key every day for “data deleted today”,

The question is not can we encrypt at storage. We’re now talking about encrypting as a soft-deletion method, which means we need to know everywhere the data is stored at deletion time, whether to delete it or to encrypt it with this new “deletion” key.
My intention -- the next time I buy a TV -- is simply to never tell it my wifi password. Do these things refuse to work without internet access?

One of the few bright sides of Sony's smart TVs is that since they run android, its not a big deal to connect to the TV via adb and delete whichever apps you don't want to run. the xdc forums have a pretty good starting point on things to get rid of:

Yes, I've done it and Disk Utility doesn't think there's anything wrong. But yet, I've tried over and over to make a disk image - of different disks, even - and every single time I get the error "no usable disk image found". At this point, after having scoured the web for clues, I can only conclude: this is a bug in MacOS.

I skimmed over the article, read 10 random paragraphs in full. Looks like the kind of article I'm not likely to learn much from or otherwise find very entertaining.

It's about 6500 words. And these are the 17 you take issue with: and I even independently came up with it when I was about 13 years old, in 1973.

I'm fairly convinced if I pay enough attention to anyone I'll find something to criticise them about, but that generally doesn't say anything about the quality or impact of their work in the world.

I have fantasized about there being things like homeless maps since I took a class on homelessness, well before becoming homeless. I have also fantasized for years about there being something like what was called a Doreen phone in the comment above.

So, here is your Github repo:
https://github.com/DoreenMichele/Phone

I have no idea what I am doing on GitHub. Apologies in advance for my lack of technical chops.

I will add that my lack of technical chops means custom Android ROM is a new concept for me and sounds like an excellent way to solve the additional support element that I commented on elsewhere. I never could think of a good way to do that because ideally I would like the phone itself to provide some of that information while also pointing to other resources. I just didn't know how that could be done.
I doubt that would be any cheaper. Something like that would already have an ARM processor inside for all the digital housekeeping, the cost to bump specs a bit and make it run an embedded OS and GUI are likely extremely low.

The boot time is something that has irked me forever, and it seems the culprit is the HDMI protocol itself, so that wouldn't be improved either.

I would suggest you take a look at Wasabi for object storage. I'm just a customer, but have been using them for close to a year for off-site backup storage and it's been great.
Seems like they're just trying to be clear.

It's not uncommon to retain logs like that for debugging purposes, abuse prevention purposes, etc, but then to go back later and wipe them or anonymize them.
You have just hit upon why HDMI is stupid.

If you used a DVI cable you could indeed do that. But HDMI was pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed despite no real benefit (having sound and video separate is an ADVANTAGE if you want to easily handle sound with different hardware..)

and now, well, you can't.
The entire reason I made this is because I wanted to do one really simple thing: store the names of shows in a file that I could then resolve against the TvMaze API so I could track shows with minimal effort. I figured maybe other people would be interested in that the approach is extremely simple, which is the whole point.

Twilio library? That defeats the entire purpose of this, which is to allow simple CRUD operations on a JSON file to resolve against using a React/Angular style SPA. This is not intended for more complex web applications. Also, further this is simply example code, not something I am planning on updating in any way, because it served the purpose for what I needed.

I actually have made an SMS Marketing App and for that I used Python (Flask), PostgreSQL, Angular 4, and Docker with nginx to bring it all together.

I specifically say in my blog post that this isn't intended for teams or anything more complex than flat file CRUD. This would blow up really quickly and be a nightmare to work with as a team - there isn't even any sort of validation.

The truth is, most of the time I write APIs using either Java 8, Express/NodeJS in TypeScript, or Python with Flask with a persistence layer like PostgreSQL all backed by Docker. I felt like that was huge overkill for storing just the names of shows, and I didn't want to have to store this on a VPS with a reverse proxy... I figured one PHP file was really all I needed for the CRUD operations.

I enjoy TV shows and I prefer to keep things simple. I prefer a dumb TV, in fact if be happy with a monitor. Just give me an TV with a few inputs and I'm happy. I prefer to buy a low cost media player, currently older fire sticks. That's all I'll ever want or need. Don't need apps on a TV. In fact, I think the idea is absurd.

The issue is not so much that this particular group of people think about what is acceptable. It is that people who don't think that behavior like this is acceptable are significantly less likely to amass as much power. Not just that, but they are also less likely to be listened to, because they are not successful enough.
