I learned quite recently that Android was using one user ID per installed app, effectively isolating them one from another. However, I am not sure I understood what you meant by

> On Android apps just request everything

Well, this is as true as with any other operating system, isn't it?

Nowadays, I try to use F-droid as much as I can, applications there ask for reasonable permissions, and are open source, which makes it easier to trust them.
There used to be messaging within GitHub. You could simply message any other user. Now you have to look at someone's profile to hope to see if they have some form of contact there.

Im not sure why they removed it - they could have extended this into more discussion and community space. They say they are social, after all.
If the adversary find a bug in your system, such as not so random "random generator", then it can bring it down. But if the random generator is reasonable, then you can expect it to behave properly on all inputs.

Performance.

Usermode processes call privileged processes often (kernel APIs for example), if you flush the cache every time a context switch occurs, processing is now orders of magnitude slower.

You can absolutely can do this today. It is just slow as heck.

I find myself inclined to trust Dropbox because they really seem to have their 'shit' together. It's one of the most reliable 'cloud' tools that I've used so far.

But I share the concern about Condi on the board, and I'm curious if others can weigh in on how justified that concern is.

Ideally, of course, I'd like to hear someone from Dropbox to say something about this, but I can understand how they wouldn't touch this topic with a ten-foot pole.

ODG completes design concept for Treehouse Juicery
I have 17 years of experience in my area (DevOps) and was recently denied a work visa by Germany. Reason: no degree. I had an already signed contract with a major company to earn 58k EUR/year.

The company appealed to the ZAV multiple times and got rejected.

And software developer is in the shortage list. I don't advise trying it without a degree even though I got assurances from every recruiter I talked to that a degree was absolutely not necessary. I should have trusted my gut.

EDIT: I showed the embassy formal proof of my work experience, countless IT courses, many certifications (LPI, Kubernetes, Oracle, etc), participation in open source projects. They shrugged it all off and said "no degree, only ZAV can approve you". ZAV wasn't happy about it either. So I'm not how serious these countries are when they talk about a shortage of skilled workers. It seems they can't help themselves with the bureaucracy.

Re stopping timers: The timer id is afaik just a steadily increasing number starting at 1 which is returned by setTimeout() so you can iterate through them, e.g. to stop all:

for (let i=1; i++; i<=setTimeout('')) {
clearTimeout(i);
}

Though that’s an implementation detail which could change in the future since the spec seems to not enforce it.
A quick glance on react native- Pros and Cons
Unions exist to empower labor.

In the airline industry, I've heard it claimed [1] that the unions currently in place are bad for junior employees, because of the way they're structured internally.

In particular all the political power is held by long-serving pilots - so long-serving pilots earn $300,000 and are last to be laid off, while junior pilots earn $20,000 and are first to be laid off.

In other words, pilots are simultaneously overpaid and underpaid - and the union simultaneously empowers and disempowers employees.

I don't know how accurate that claim is - but in discussions about American teachers' salaries, I have noticed people seem unable to agree on whether teachers are well paid or not.

[1] http://philip.greenspun.com/flying/unions-and-airlines.html
Nice ideas, from a person with their heart in the right place.

I like the 'microcolleges' idea, I hope this and MOOCs can help solve this problem.

Quick Steps to Activate Netflix
Pretty much agree. Our kids are in Cambridge public schools (conscious choice on our part) and we volunteer in various ways to try to help all the kids.

The spread of preparedness, ability, and focus of the kids even in K-5 and early elementary is stark. Some kids are unable to focus for even 45 seconds. Some kids regularly have no parents showing up for parent events. Some kids can't read (in any language) by grade 2. There's less that teachers can do in the 1000-ish hours of classroom time per year as compared to what the 4500-ish hours of awake, non-classroom time that the families have control over (or the hopefully 3000-ish hours of sleep that they also control).

Parents expect teachers to work miracles I think as compared to what's possible. Families have wildly more time and vastly more individualized time theoretically available to them and for a variety of reasons (some circumstance, some choice), I think that time is frequently squandered/not used effectively and then it's the teachers' fault somehow when an achievement gap surfaces.

That's why we have PINs. If not everyone can be asked to get ID, and not every store can be asked to get chip+pin gear then stores should still not pretend to do some identification charade based on doodling.

The most bizarre one is at a Subway I go to once in a while: they have signs all over saying they accept Android Pay, but when I go to use it the phone vibrates like it worked but the terminal replies "insert chip," or maybe it's "chip required." The cashiers claim it works for other people though. I tried it several times over a year just to see if it was a one-off error, but it always did the same.

I really like Android Pay/mobile payments when they work, the only problem is, I stopped really using it because the success rate is so low. The card readers seem like they aren't that strong, have difficulty sensing the phone, and when it does sense it there seems like a lot of weirdness/try agains. I tried to use it once at a vending machine and I just couldn't figure the thing out, the payment went through but when I selected something nothing happened. Credit card worked fine though.

It was so unimportant when I got a new phone I ended up getting one without NFC.

Oh, I'm pretty sure the “CHIP READER DISABLED” thing is just the merchant didn't set up their account with chip enabled, not any problem with the hardware itself.
Did you even read his post?
"It does make me hesitate to recommend Swarm for a new service, with the risk that it will be end-of-lifed soon."

This was my exact concern. With the announcement at the end of 2017 that Docker EE would be integrating Kubernetes, it gave me pause as to whether to put Swarm into production now, when there is the possibility Docker could be moving away from Swarm entirely in the near future.

Do you have any sources that there will be continued investment in Swarm?

All recent blog posts I see are hyping of the features of the Kubernetes integration.

I have a fried who's a genius. He's the best mathematician I've personally known. He published a short story in a literary magazine to impress his mother and it started a 4-way bidding contest among known publishers for a book deal. He's funny, leaves a trail of sad ex-girlfriends (none of whom are ever mad, somehow), and made four "thirty-under-thirty" lists for his political work at the EU.

Someone recommended him for a master stipend at Harvard's Kennedy School. He turned it down. Then I pestered him for a week and he unturned it down.

Why? He's from a working class background, and was afraid of the $10,000/year he'd have pay (with debt). He read the syllabus of each class he'd take and had decided that he could learn just as much by spending $10 on late fees at the library. He was also afraid of his parent's posting their house as collateral for the debt, and that they couldn't do so twice and his brother wouldn't get the same if he wanted.

My point: social mobility is also limited by what people consider possible. My parents were elite, at least in status if not economically, and "Harvard" has meaning in the family beyond being a good university. Similar mechanisms are probably at play with entrepreneurship. Or in the proven tendency of women to feel underqualified for jobs that men with exactly the same CV would apply to without any self-doubts.

That's why we need to actively work on getting underrepresented groups into these institutions and professions. There's too much talent going to waste for stupid reasons right now. Getting that guy to Cambridge, MA may well end up being my most significant contribution to society.
In that situation, i'm more likely to write:

I love how the Windows haters never really sell you on their choice by telling you how good their favorite OS is, instead they only talk up their bullshit negative views on Windows.

If you just say that your opinion is that Windows is the best desktop, you’ll be attacked here on HN. It’s fucking amazing how people just cannot stand another person having an opinion.

Then, once you bring up how widely used Windows is compared to their OS and how many more drivers and hardware you have compared to their OS – they clam up and just do the most pathetic, cowardly thing they can...on this page.

Well fanboys or should I say anti-fanboys, fuck you. My opinion remains unchanged despite using every single desktop operating system that I could get my hands on over the past 20 years.

You don't need to. This is no different than how lack of SNI is handled with IPv4, just have multiple static IP addresses on whatever frontend you're using. With IPv6 it's easy to delegate as many IP addresses as you want. The slight problem with this is that it doesn't solve the privacy problem at all as now you just look at the IP address and check which domain it serves.

A lot of businesses in the UK/Europe do not accept American Express due to higher fees. You would be better off getting a different card preferably that supports contactless payments so you could use it on the tube and buses instead of an Oyster card (remember to touch it on the way out as well).

I wouldn't expect someone to immediately know about the existence of Hacker News, nor immediately assume "oh they're the good kind of hackers, for sure" when I am sitting in a security clearance interview.

Not knowing these things doesn't make someone incompetent or terrible people---it just means they don't run in the same circles that I do (to note, plenty of good people at Microsoft have never heard of HN, but are still nice enough to work with).
Which is why I suggested the middle ground of a pingback URL that clients or services can hit to give the publishers certain stats like aggregated counts. If certain publishers are not ok with those limitations there will still be a bunch of people writing blog posts that are not so concerned.

Windows 10: Default experience is terrible, and customizing it is a full-time job. Update is hostile (interrupts work) and buggy (can bring down the whole system). Every advertisement in the start menu must be removed manually, afaict. Notifications are annoying almost beyond belief. Common settings, especially pertaining to users and permissions, are spread to more obscure system apps than ever. Control Panel Lite is inadequate and just adds confusion on top of Control Panel Classic. Windows UI has the same basic painting bugs that have existed forever, where you have to jigger things around to make them visually refresh. Exhortations to use Edge browser are more annoying and hostile than ever, and some system functions force Edge instead of the default browser.
Yeah, I once wrote my landlord a check and totally forgot to sign it. The bank cashed it just fine, I was surprised.

It also depends on the teller, how much of a hardass they are going to be about cashing it. I guess I don't know what the protocol is for for mobile deposit, they may or may not have manual review.

I read a story once of somebody sending a postcard from one part of the country to the other end saying that they planned to catch a train in a couple of hours, and would the recipient please meet them at the other end, etc. - the expectation is the card would get there in plenty of time before the sender themselves.

It's hard to believe. Whenever I mention this story to people and say it was all for the cost of a penny (the penny post being introduced in 1840), people say that back then a penny was worth so much more, we were able to invest in the infrastructure.

According to inflation calculators, 1p in 1840 is worth about 96p today. It's about 1/3rd more than a 1st class stamp today, and of course most postage is now paid for by bulk carriers (advertising), which is even cheaper.

There's some interesting stories to find in the economics of the UK postal system over the last 182 years...

Again do you have some further support/sources that Docker will continue investment in Swarm?

I found this tweet from Solomon Hykes stating Swarm isn't dead, but also provides a vague answer without much detail to specific plans. "Docker will continue to support both Kubernetes and Swarm as first-class citizens, and encourage cross-pollination. Openness and choice create a healthier ecosystem for everyone."

Over here (Belgium), there has been a lot of talk in business fore (which are only frequented by a specific minority of companies), but in the general press I can't even recall seeing a single article. Even with those 'in the loop', the attitude is mostly 'wait an see', 'who is going to work on enforcement (the regulators haven't expanded), and 'maybe it will be another cookie-law (meaning a much hyped 'the sky is falling' regulation which turned out to be we'll install a component that handles the implicit 'ok' click and be done) and 'you never get a fine the first time, so why be proactive?'.

I think it's a surprise to many people in society. Weirdly, it's maybe even a surprise to tech-savvy people who knew about all this, but never bothered to really consider or act on the implications.

I do think that this is just how things work a lot of the time. The #metoo 'thing', or in particular the scandals about various people in Hollywood for example, were probably surprising to people outside the industry, despite the fact that they were frustratingly 'open secrets' inside it. And yet even inside the world of Hollywood many people never really considered the consequences of these 'open secrets' until the 'secret' part disappeared.

On a more personal note, I've experienced situations where, in hindsight, a particular person in my social world was obviously a horrible/dangerous individual (think rape/stalking). Somehow none of us either caught on to their malevolence, or kept finding ways to dismiss it until some situation proved how 'bad' they were.

After their 'true' nature became a public issue, for some this was truly a surprise, but probably for more of us than we'd be comfortable admitting, it wasn't all that surprising and we found ourselves struggling with the implications of 'let' things get so far without intervening.
So it's actually worse, right? Having to find a job that pays much more is actually more difficult, isn't it?

Vikings, who “were brilliant” despite popular perception of them as brutes.

Well, you can be smart and brutal at the same time. Vikings had a brutal culture because they needed it for survival, as they did starve over some periods of the year without it.

Even in Spain, with a much mild climate, Romans reported local people in the mountains pillaging the valleys in Winter as they got short of food. Romans forced those people to live in the valleys and gave them land to work.
