I just checked on iPhone (Settings-Privacy-Contacts):
Threema, Google Voice, Hangouts, WhatsApp, Telegram.
Google Voice and Hangouts have my contacts anyway since I'm on gmail.
There is a few other apps where I denied contacts access, like Uber, Skype, Twitter. There isn't really much more here.

So for me that's a non-story.

While I agree that access to contacts should be read-only, and write access should be a special permission, for me it appears to be not a problem. While I have a few other apps installed, most didn't ask for contacts permission (i.e. all games), and from those that did ask, I denied in some cases where it didn't make much sense (why should twitter access my contacts? to find my friends on twitter? I don't need that.)

I actually like the way iOS handling the permissions. The privacy overview in the settings is very easy to understand and maintain. Permissions are only asked once when access to them is actually required in that moment (like when you tap on "take photo" in some app). Permission is not asked for while the app is launching (aside of push notifications and location).

So on iOS usually what happens is this:

- I install some app, lets say WhatsApp
- I launch it, it asks for push notifications and contacts permission
- i use the app
- if i dont share my location, i'll never get asked for the permission to GPS
- if i use "send photo" - it will ask for access to photos, but not to the camera
- sometimes, months or years after usage, it will ask me for a permission, i.e. microphone, because I have never used that feature before and only now want to use it
- etc.
> but maybe it's even harder to have an analytics system and use it responsibly?

I'd say it absolutely is harder--on the one hand, you have an opportunity for more money. On the other hand, you have the mass of users that have proven that they don't care enough to react against irresponsible use in any meaningful way.

Simple decision in a business context.
That's because the author is a tool of the global ad-tech agenda, writing articles with click-bait headlines. RSS isn't a particularly profitable utility to inject ads into, or suck personal info out of (less cookies, no pixels, makes an MBA yawn in meetings), so I guess that means it's "dead" right?

Oh noes! Markdown is dead!

Oh noes! SOAP XML is dead!

Oh noes! RESTful JSON is dead!

How the fuck would a non-coding journalist know the difference?
I think it's interesting that:

That said I do agree with your conclusion. It's the path to get there that can keep me up at night, and perhaps not framing it purely in terms of being employed or self-employed might help (not saying that that's what you were saying, btw).

This is a non-serious piece. Not a single mention of mining/resource extraction or security. As long as people are fighting over rocks, we live in a capital-driven world. Key questions are who owns the minerals in the ground and the airwaves in the sky? "Humanism" has always been an ironic euphemism for imperialism, and I suppose it still is in "the world after capital."
Definitely agree with your primary point. I think the author is using a less-used definition of the word brute here..."one who lacks intelligence, sensitivity, or compassion : a brutal person"

It could work in a backwards compatible manner like a lot of things.

That could technically even be handled transparently by hardwiring caches for usage in Ring 3 or Ring 0 and then introducing additional opcode for explicitly allowing certain addresses to be put into Ring 3 cache when it goes into Ring 0 cache.

PCID already does per-process caching, somewhat, though it's a bit neutered atm.

The good thing is that it only needs to be backwards compatible in the sense that an OS that has no idea about this should at worst have a performance penalty.

The hard point will be the additional hardware. L2 cache is expensive, L1 even moreso.

Interestingly, there are people for whom this is of 0 surprise, and who built systems avoiding issues like this decades ago.

The main problem was of cost, and current "modern" processors are generally an example of the how the "it's cheaper to fail and then apologise" approach wins economically for consumer software.

It's not shitposting.

One of the core requirements of modern deep neural networks is performance. The high accuracy you get from very fast training over large amounts of data is the only reason to look at neural networks over very fast, very accurate systems like XGBoost.

If something doesn't deliver that, then it's worth pointing out that it is inadequate for anything but toy tasks.

Monkey business.
I used to have a community that was on facebook before. What a terrible mistake it was. Besides many bad things, it is what you described. There was no way to search for anything.

Reddit isn't perfect, but it's much less intrusive than facebook and people can search for past discussions. I know it is a low bar, but then I don't have to worry about spams, registrations, etc. Plus, if I don't have time to read/deal with it today, the discussion and the person isn't gone tomorrow which chat services tend to do.

> The lack of chip and pin pales into insignificance compared to their addiction to paper checks, for example.

Paper checks are indeed a silly cost, but NFC provides banks no gain over chip. Chip provides gain over magnet stripe by basically rendering skimmers ineffective, but only basically in that credit card fraud is still a big business. Instead of skimmers, you use trojans or data leaks. Physical credit cards also sell very cheap on the black market.

In other words, NFC benefits only consumers, not banks. Chip benefits banks a little bit.

> if everyone moved to internet banking, NFC cards etc

Those are very different things. Internet banking benefits banks directly because they can shut down local branches and screw over customers (which they do here—I have to drive to a different city to insert cash, and can only do so within very limited hours).

NFC has no benefit to them (and might slightly increase fraud that the bank will have to cover by allowing ~$40 withdrawals made wirelessly from quite a far distance). Chip presents a pretty tiny benefit to them.

And most certainly, if you have a customer that already use a magnet stripe credit card, giving them an NFC card will result in instant adoption of the feature. We had some statistics when the feature rolled out—it was adopted by everyone with a supported card on the spot. It's much different when you're trying to change a check user to be a credit card user, but that might be more of an issue with the consumer experience with the bank—credit and debit cards over there sound so cumbersome compared to our system where the bank issues both credit and debit cards tied to your account. We don't have the "benefit" card mess.

It's a bit too easy to blame user inertia.

Thanks for the twitrss.me link -- I don't use Twitter, but I follow a couple of journalists who do, and my RSS reader is much better than Twitter's website, with its semi-random threading and light-boxes. I've run NetNewsWire since forever, and it's easy to add a few Twitter feeds in their own folder. If I have time, I'll scan through them; if not, Command-K and they're all gone.

This article really overstates RSS's problems, and underestimates "users," who it seems to view as epsilon semi-morons attached to credit cards. On the reader side, it's simply not that hard to control the rate of things you receive, and to quickly scan them for things you want to read. On the publisher side, it's trivial to keep track of the number of people subscribed to your feed(s). And if you want to know how long each of them spent on each article, and where their mouse cursor and eyeballs pointed that whole time, then too bad -- you are part of what's wrong with today's media ecosystem.
We Australians are two steps ahead - I barely even use a pin now! I use PayWave (NFC) nearly all the time and often businesses find it strange when you want to insert or swipe your card.
I did not read the article but the fact it does not even mention iota (even to say it is not based on blockchain but on DAG technology) indicates it is probably very poorly researched and/or very biased

When was there not enough capital in the world to meet everyone's basic needs?

The 2015 estimated World GDP per capita is $16,800, or $46/day. The poverty threshold is $2 per day.

We crossed that threshold long before 1990.

> The second one lets you trigger a state for the selected element, so you can see the styles applied when it’s active, hovered, on focus.

If only that worked. Sure, it sets the state from a CSS perspective, so you can test things like styles. But many popular JavaScript libraries simply ignore it (looking at you JQuery UI) because of how they hook those events.

For example I've seen many that set several attributes when you mouse over (e.g. data-x, additional class, etc), so if you want to test it the only way right now is to mouse over for real and then do this keyboard voodoo to cut the hovered element into the clipboard, and then after you move your mouse away paste it back onto the page.

You might say "Just call .trigger() from the console!" but the reality is there are several different ways to hook (particularly when a library supports both touch and mouse). Plus some intermingle the CSS hover selector AND Javascript events.
My alternative explanation for this sort of thing is always something like:

Maybe the navigator was a hipppie and had crystals and bird feathers on her/his dashboard, probably a mini dream catcher hanging from the rear vision mirror.

I think it’s a plausible explanation for a lot of things.

Imagine future archeologists unearthing a car found in s remote location and trying to explain the crystals and bird feathers and dream catchers.

Are we supposed to believe that no one had trinkets back then.

I imagine this is one of those scenarios where people well versed in the field of archeology do an eye-roll when they read a news article pertaining to their expertise. What’s the term for that?

Surely the issues with prioritization or filtering could be solved client side, ie with your RSS reader? Configure your software to hide things with tag X or word Y. You could even have up/down votes to train your RSS reader what is good and what is stuff you never want to see, and it could operate like a local spam filter.
The foremost claim of Karl Marx was that capitalism would eventually secede to socialism.

Most HN readers were indoctrinated to simplisticly demonize Marx despite ignorance of his nuanced academic legacy, and might overlook the glaring similarities here. They should be reminded that Marx laid these foundations ~150 years ago and offers a lifetime of critical research on this very discussion.

>" knowing that three separate people are in the same coffeeshop together on several separate occasions at different times leads to the conclusion that they're likely to know each other."

If you took any of the quinolones you may have gotten floxed. The drugs are very dangerous and should only used as last resorts, according to the FDA. Mechanisms of toxicity are multiple but the common theories are iron/magnesium chelation and mitochondrial toxicity. Both of which can lead to long term severe and potentially life threatening side effects.

I'm not convinced about the underpaid teachers argument (I have been a teacher for 10 years). If you actually adjust the salary for number of days worked, most teachers do quite well. For me a "second job" is something I decide to pick up in the summer just to try something new. In how many professions can you do that?

I'd say the biggest problem with teacher pay is in the public school realm where there is a fixed salary ladder. This leaves no incentive for teachers to put in any effort beyond the minimum.

The US is very cash centric, but a lot of countries are slowly migrating away from it. Many stores don't accept cash and it is mostly the older generation that continue to use it.

If we want cash to remain stores must be forced (by law) to accept it, and this must be done soon. Even if we go that route you will quickly become that weirdo that payed in cash if you actually makes use of it.
> Hegemonic stability theory (HST) is a theory of international relations, rooted in research from the fields of political science, economics, and history.

Last time I tried there wasn't an option to give an overall review, it was split into stuff like:

There were about 6 or so of these and I gave a 1 for each (since zero wasn't an option). MY final score was 3.5.
I think you're confusing with the calcite found on the 16th century British warship. The article mentions:

"None have ever been found at Viking archaeological sites, but a calcite crystal was discovered in the wreck of a British warship from the 1500s, indicating it might have been a tool known to advanced ocean navigators."

... but this is wild conjecture at best. None of the written sources of that time (or, in fact, later) mention the use of calcite for navigation.
I mean, who actually reads the articles?

Bit of a tangent, but I have a fuzzy recollection from my adolescence of someone (my great uncle?) saying, "As you get older, you'll find you have fewer -- and better -- friends." At the time I had my doubts about this being a good thing, but now that I'm in my 40's it's proven true. My network continues to expand, and I'm grateful to be connected to hundreds of people, but my inner circle of true friends is smaller, better and more precious to me than it's ever been.

I think the optimal quality:quantity balance is very different across one's friendly acquaintances, professional network, and inner circle.

In Brazil wireless credit card terminals are also very common, and all I've seen use cell phone radios, so they work anywhere a cell phone from the same telco would work. Once in a while you still see the old wired terminals (which use wired phone lines), they are slower since they have to dial to the backend. And of course there are the terminals wired directly to a POS terminal (but places with these usually have wireless credit card terminals as a backup).
When I last looked into this, I googled electric motors in the +30MW range and found that some gas pipelines use electric turbines of that power. These are massive, stationary engines which made me wonder if the weight of the motors might be an equally serious problem as the weight of the energy storage. Carbon neutral jet fuel really seems to be the simpler alternative.
