Well on a personal note I have had a few closed calls in Malmo and I know 17 people who left mostly to Denmark, Israel and the US.

I don’t know about the rest of Sweden but Malmo isn’t a place I want to be caught in, East London isn’t a walk in the park either.
Then I seem not to understand the benefit they see from tracking non-users' information - how can this be of benefit to advertisers if these users are never targeted? In particular, what benefits would be generated by linking this tracking information with the real identify of a non-FB user (that couldn't also be leveraged in a semi-anonymous way)?

In other words, I see the benefit to FB of being able to say "Person A likes 1, 2, 3; User B likes 1 and 2 - perhaps they also like 3?" where A is a non-user and B is a FB user, but I don't see the benefit derived from identifying Person A to advertisers if they can only target that person on FB, where they aren't a user?

If cost is an issue, there's the NYC Airporter bus, which is a flat $15 to Midtown. Or you can take the Q70 bus to the Roosevelt Ave - Jackson Heights subway station (in Queens).

Airports are a particularly visible omission, for a certain class of people, but they aren't in the top 5 or so most valuable possible extensions to the subway system.

I agree. His marketing almost writes itself.

I found it interesting that he counts having to buy a Mac to do iOS development as a negative, but doesn't make the same case about having to buy a Windows PC to do Windows development. I currently own only Macs. If I want to develop for Windows, I can just buy a Windows license and use it on my existing Mac. And of course, I can install Linux on it, as well. Seems like a stupid thing to call a negative, since no matter what you use, you'll need to buy a machine to do any development.
That's a good point. But as we say when determining how fast a given piece of software will execute, "tools, not rules."

In other words, the fact that something should logically be safe certainly counts for something, but not as evidence.

I never thought of that but yeah George RR Martin definitely uses it to portray the culture of the kingdom: from the spicy pepper-infused Dornish cuisine to the "bowl o' brown" from the flea bottom of kings landing, it really is a fantastic plot device to convey a great deal of information so concisely.

As a consequence I can't read his books while even a little bit hungry.
> It's all about making more profitS

This part is blatantly wrong. Saas enable on demand consumption and lowers tco by a great deal, i.e. indesign used to be 700$ each release, that now covers you 3 years of subscription and you don’t have to fear obsolescence.

Same with many many other software. Once you factor in obsolescence and upgrade cycles it’s very hard to keep the position of saas being more expensive.

The other point about losing control of your own stack do remain valid.

Just remember that there's only a very small subset of "tacos" that actually represent historic/traditional Mexican cuisine, and it gets even more controversial when you try to define what it means to be Mexican (does Tex Mex cuisine count?) -- it's really a fascinating history.

I'm not entirely convinced that if we had a chance to do it over that we wouldn't just repeat the same mistakes. Are there other massively profitable businesses that are free to users without some form of exploitation? Advertising and the industry that surrounds it is absolutely tainted as they chase analytics to make each set of eyeballs most profitable to themselves. How do we get "free" services while also having great privacy control in a way that the company can operate at a scale like Google or Facebook?

the guns criminals use are from the war in jugoslavia. At some point someone smuggled a crate of grenades to Sweden. The rest is history. You might argue that had “normal” guns been easier to aquire, gangsters wouldn’t have to use weapons of war, at least not that stupid weapons (because hand grenades have very very little practical use to a criminal other than sending a message). I don’t buy the idea that weapons should be easier to aquire - so I’d wish for stricter border control for weapons smuggling (there is effectively none within the EU).

How are they "subsidizing" your vacations? That's one less dollar you're spending at the restaurants they work at or at the other businesses that employ them. So they're subsidizing the airport because the more you pay at the airport, the less you spend in the city. I'd rather spend that money in the local businesses than give the Port Authority another dollar they can squander.

I don't really know anything about the situation in Argentina but I don't think Unions are an unequivocal good no matter what form they take.

Ask HN: My Solution for Securing Paywalled Videos with AWS
Problem: Serve a video to a client if and only if the client has signed up and paid the price for the video.

Constraints: Minimize theft and sharing of videos to any client which has not paid. Prevent videos from being downloaded(?).

Worst Case: Video is bought by a user, screen-captured, and redistributed. Alternatively, paying user decides to share their username/password with other users.

Solution:

1. Implement a basic user accounts system.

2. Dynamically watermark/brand all videos to mitigate screen-capture theft.

3. Store encrypted/restricted videos on S3, restrict access via CloudFront.

4. Use Braintree/Stripe/Cryptocurrency to capture payments for a given video. Upon payment by client, mark the user as having access to the corresponding video.

5. Use a short-lived/one-time token[0] to grant access to CloudFront endpoint for any paid client. Upon accessing the video after token expiration, a new token will be issued. This prevents users from sharing URLs with friends who haven't signed up and paid. The user would be forced to share their sign-in token or username/password, which is not preferable. Mitigating this with IP restrictions may not be worth the implementation time.

Are there any other major steps that need to be taken here, or have I covered all my bases?

With the above solution, generalizing to recurrent (subscription-based) payments or paying for a set of videos shouldn't be hard. Are there any additional steps required for these generalizations, or are they relatively straightforward alterations to the solution above?

> The blockchain allows for us the same effect as "running our own email servers," and most of us really don't think it's likely that people are going to want to host their own nodes in the blockchain

The way I see it, one of the big assumptions of the technologies in this space is that participants are only acting out of self-interest. Meaning, that there's a strong push towards designing systems where behaviours that are beneficial to the network are also economically rewarding.

Meaning that in theory, cryptoeconomics could be seen as an attempt at finding a solution to the problem you mention.

Microsoft has been in a bit of a tick-tock cycle with their operating system releases. NT 4 was good, 2000 was good, XP was good eventually, Vista, not so good, 7, good, 8, not so good, 10 irons out most of the issues with 8. Pick any other product, and it's likely the same story. Mac OSX was all downhill from Tiger for quite awhile, at the latest High Sierra has had its share of serious flaws.
so maybe it was just a byproduct a new fad in our society to reimplement itself on top of the web (social, commercial, ...) which distorded the original thing.

They don't allow advertisers to target non-users. I'm sure they use non-user data for clustering, just as you described.

They also probably use it when the user finally does create a FB account.

Stack Overflow has the 'active' sorting. This is similar to bumping a topic with any activity to the top. This is the default as opposed to new.

After extreme poverty ends, you get poverty to uplift and so on.

The problem with such nice catchphrases that are repeated over and over by interest groups is that they are inaccurate, and often end up advocating for even higher inequality.
On a basic level, yes, banks need to lend money. But saying more defaults came in than were expected is a vast understatement. Banks lent so much money, and were so exposed to risk, that any market correction could have, and did, destroy well established financial institutions. I mean, we're talking razor thin protections from financial ruin basically predicated on the need that housing must always go up. It is literally insane levels of over exposure - not just small leverage to help build a small housing community.

How can you expect people to not default in a system endemic with corruption and rife with irresponsibility?
I think one just accepts that people’s views change slowly or not at all. So you accept that change is slow, some times only generational.
Human society has already progressed beyond the usefulness of laissez-faire evolution as evidenced by obvious dysgenic trends. If you think about it, it makes sense: society and technology are now highly influential and dynamic over timespans that are barely a blip when it comes to evolution. There's also the fact that withholding this technology from people would effectively constitute eugenics, and in liberal democracies we tend to value peoples' individual rights in these situations.

Also humans are currently evolving to need technology to give birth due to the use of C-sections anyway [0].

I don't think it matters in the long term as you seem to believe. Within a few hundred years we'll probably have widespread genetic engineering or at least manual selection of traits. So in the short term this technology will help make people happy, and in the medium term the evolutionary effects on the human gene pool will be irrelevant.

Noticed this as well. I've learned to identify pretty quickly whether a section is merely descriptive. Being able to skim is a pretty valuable skill imo.

That's not to say that such detail isn't valuable, of course. But, at least for me, there's a time and place for it. The first time I read LOTR I skimmed past the food and the songs, as I cared more about the plot, but I did otherwise on subsequent readings.
Interesting! We built and use a service called Furan: https://github.com/dollarshaveclub/furan

That said, Furan isn't suitable for untrusted Dockerfiles (or multi-tenant environments) exactly due to the security implications of access to the Docker engine socket.

The issue I see with Kaniko is drift from upstream Moby/Docker syntax. One of the strengths with Furan is that you have the guarantee that the Docker build you perform locally is exactly what happens by the service. When you can't make this guarantee you get into weird situations where "the build works for me locally" but there's some issue when doing a remote build. That's also why we've resisted putting special build magic into Furan (like injecting metadata into the build context, for example).
By "cents", you really mean "minor currency unit" I assume?

In British Pounds, it would be pennies for example.

The doc doesn't explain how the library deals with the various different minor units out there (I've been bitten too many times by code that assumes that all currencies have a minor unit and that 100 minor units = 1 major unit so I'm careful these days).

For example, what about currencies that have a minor unit that's not effectively used in practice or that don't have a minor unit at all (e.g. JPY)? Are the amount supposed to be expressed in this unused / non-existent minor unit?

What happens with currencies that use a subdivision other than 100 for their minor unit (e.g. KWD)? Will the calculations and formatting be correct?

Hm, I don't understand what purchasing stock has to do with it. If someone bought the stock then they would own it. But that's not what happens when a company grants you stock - it's a promise to deliver you shares later.

If this hypothetical employee quit on April 10th, 2018, they would not get the 464 shares (== $668k) on April 16th, 2018. They also would probably not get a comparable offer if they quit to join Facegooglesoft. So, if they quit, they lose out on hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's enough to keep many people even if the work is unpleasant.
For smaller components, probably nothing.

However, a cell phone needs a couple of big, expensive, important components. In particular, the main processor often comes directly from Qualcomm and ZTE isn't buying quantities that can be handled by anything less than a direct relationship.

The more interesting question is how much this will impact Qualcomm's bottom line.

Ask HN: Anyone converted to handwritten digital note taking?
I picked up the 2018 iPad a few weeks ago along with an Apple Pencil. I've always had a dream of being able to handwrite my notes but have them digital and converted to text for sending to others/emails/etc.

I use Apple Notes to store all of my notes, and it works well for that purpose. The Pencil support in it is fine, and even allows for searching your handwritten stuff, but strangely doesn't offer handwriting to text conversion (why they're allowing search of handwriting but not conversion of it, I don't know).

I've tried the MyScript Nebo app, and while its recognition and conversion is pretty good, it's just a clunky workflow.

I primarily do all my note taking in outline/bullet form, nesting deeply on some topics. I can't really find anything on the market that would allow me to transfer that process to be fully digital.

Anyone else gone exploring this same path? Any recommendations?
Some thoughts:

> We can take skin cells, turn them into stem cells, and turn those into viable eggs.

How accurate of a copy of the parent's genetic material is this likely to be, compared to a naturally-produced gamete? Skin being the exterior organ that forms the body's first line of defense, it is subject to constant attacks and damage from without. As an example, the amount of accumulated genetic damage from sunburns is going to increase as a person grows older. So then, for this to be used on humans, would not the ideal place to take skin from be someplace that gets infrequent sun exposure, like say, the buttocks or thighs?

> These technologies enable an unprecedented advance in the precision and throughput of this process and it seems very likely we will be able to do this in humans in 10-15 years.

If it's available in 10-15 years, it probably won't be available to me and my partner, but it (or perhaps something better) may be available to any future children when they are ready to have children of their own. Something to keep an eye on.

This is one of the things that has me really interested in ansible-container. I don't like investing in Dockerfiles when there's still so much other stuff that has to go on AROUND the container itself.

The concept behind ansible-container - having the ability to create Docker, LXC, LXD or any future type or flavor of container...from Ansible playbooks...that you're already able to use to configure entire VMs or bare metal machines just feels like a much more efficient use of ops resources.
