Probably more schools than you are aware of (based on this comment) began with religious purposes -- including Harvard, founded "to advance learning and perpetuate it to posterity, dreading to leave an illiterate ministry to the churches when our present ministers shall lie in the dust."

Exactly the post is titled one sided and arguments are completely biased. The author should have started with the post with disclaimer about his pet language.
I've never had problems not posting notice on my trips to Canada but I didn't feel brave enough to try transacting in Japan without notifying first... Still, I wonder with the prevalence of chip readers, isn't the "card is present" signal much stronger? So unless they think I've had my card stolen and haven't bothered to report it yet they probably shouldn't stop any card-present transactions.
My partner has IBS, so I'm also frustrated with unidentified food reactions/digestive issues. But I can't help her by ignoring the best tool for discerning reality we have, which remains scientific research. The results on MSG, glutamates, is very, very clear.

"You think the probability that someone on the planet has a sensitivity to a certain food/molecule is about the same as there being a teapot orbiting Mars?"

No, I KNOW people have food sensitivities. But not to MSG or its metabolites. I have as much evidence for the teapot as the MSG sensitivity, so I couldn't really guess which is more likely. I'd be happy to change my mind on either if presented with plausible research!

People need to put it their way to learn. And to some readers these thoughts will be actually new. That's how opinion/experience/knowledge spreads.
Piracy is not anywhere near as harmful as it is made it to be.

Sorry guys, there is no Tesla without Elon.
Are you sure? https://www.tesla.com/blog/tesla-and-panasonic-collaborate (emphasis added):

“The parties intend for Panasonic to begin PV cell _and_module_ production at the Buffalo facility in 2017.
[…]
Shuuji Okayama, Vice-president, Eco Solutions Company of Panasonic, added, “_Panasonic_PV_cells_and_modules_ boast industry-leading power generation performance, and achieve high quality and reliability.””

That first phrase leaves open that Tesla designed the modules that Panasonic produces, but I can’t read that second statement other than that Panasonic owns the design of the modules, and likely also designed it.

Edit: https://www.tesla.com/presskit#gigafactory says “The Gigafactory is producing a Tesla/Panasonic designed and engineered cell called a “2170 cell,” as the diameter is 21mm in x 70mm in height.”, implicating that Tesla even had a hand in designing the cells. They don’t make it easy to get a clear view of how ownership of the technology is divided between Panasonic and Tesla.
Reagan didn't. The Soviet Union crashed their own empire. This myth of him being a fiscal conservative while outspending the ussr on misguided military programs is something that needs to go away.
But they admit it's not just a matter of resources, the quality is changing: "Model 3 quality is rapidly getting better". That means Tesla itself is admitting there are some Model 3s out there better than others, pretty wild for a new car.
You don't even have to make six figures to have a good life in the mid-west. My first job was in a mid-sized Michigan town. Starter homes were 150% of my annual pre-tax salary. Schools were very good. Of course the town couldn't offer what a big city could, but it had enough.

My boss was making under $200,000/yr and he was living a similar life to someone making over $1M on the coasts.
Ability to express feelings is not harmful ability imo. There is nothing wrong with teachimg kids to talk and write about them. Feelings exist and matter unless you are psychopath. Too many people don't have it and rather pretend their feelings are result of some kind of rational assessment.

I've conversed with you before on this website - you are also someone who does not understand technical terms used by other people, and should fail at this stage.

It sucks, but the purpose of an interview process is not to accept everyone, and the fact that certain people (even certain technically skilled people) are rejected is not an indication by itself that the process is broken.
What exactly do you tell them that they're giving up and expose your family to? Kind of an odd thing to mention in a thread about a case where a family member's DNA exposed a criminal.
> I have yet to see fraudster go to that extend.

You must be in a field with relatively low-volume/low-effort fraud.

I knew of many fraudsters who used to go through phone verification to buy game currency with stolen CCs. This was back in 2011, mind you.
It seems pretty nonsensical to claim a show that merely repeats the opinion of people somehow polarises opinions. If people are just there to hear what they already think they can hardly become more polarised, and if people get their opinions influenced then by necessity they heard new things.

Further, people have indeed been influenced by media before facebook, but to deny the extremist recruitment that happens trough it seems just foolish.
In Singapore they would. Also, Singapore is crazy.

In fact... now that I think about it, that’s a good way to describe the whole place, it’s like if Disney and Facebook made a city/state.

People say things like this about gluten sensitivity, too, often with very detailed self-reporting. But in a controlled setting, outside of celiac, there's not a lot of evidence for NCGS, and it's very likely that a significant fraction of people who report NCGS are not in fact gluten-sensitive. As with MSG, people also have weird ideas about their gluten intake, and as with MSG there's widespread and easily illustrated sensitivity to other aspects of gluten-rich food (for instance, for a lot of people, rapid intake of lots of refined carbs will have immediate insulin effects).

The difference, of course, is that there is an underlying condition that makes gluten problematic for a small number of people --- celiac disease. There is no known "celiac of MSG", despite decades of searching for it.

Anything is possible, but the evidence overwhelmingly suggest that if you're having a reliable reaction to foods with MSG in them, it's something else in those foods you're sensitive to --- most likely salt! --- not MSG.
Will he? I believe this novel use of a private DNA database is so novel that there may not be any governing case law on whether it's a violation of privacy.

The scanned individuals opted in for relative matching. The fact those people were relatives of John Doe is publicly-documented knowledge in birth records and not susceptible to a privacy challenge.
Not at all. One could do as NPR has done in this case: Remove the original story and replace it with a statement of why it has been retracted. Nothing is hidden, and the incorrect story is removed.
Will non-desperate FB employees continue to want to work for a company with a poor reputation amongst the press?[1]

Will internet users outside of HN begin to reflect on what Facebook is doing behind the scenes? Will they care?

An executive from a large data broker was recently quoted as saying users care more about "relevance" than they do about "privacy". Is this true?

How would we ascertain what users care about? Would we ask them?

Is Facebook's internet.org the modern equivalent of "free AOL CDs" for the underdeveloped world?[2]

Is it true that 91% of Facebook's revenue comes from mobile apps and only 9% is from laptop/desktop?[3]

Does this explain why Brian Acton advised users to "delete" Facebook, i.e. delete the mobile app?

For example, when users non-interactively export data, e.g. photos, using mbasic.facebook.com via laptop/desktop each evening while they are sleeping, then upload the data to their mobile device and view the data outside of any Facebook-controlled app, free from any advertising or tracking, including while offline. Does this contribute to Facebook revenue?

I understand this is an important decision by EU, but I just can't fathom the reason this news got so upvoted here on HN. Am I missing something? Can anyone elaborate on this?
Again, that would be similar to a credit report - here in Canada, for example, the bureaus are legally mandated to not report certain credit events after a prescribed amount of time. A similar rule could apply to background checks for employment, where certain less serious offenses have a "sunset period" where they fall off the report.

The trouble with court records is that they are public, and for good reason (the justice system needs to be transparent). Unfortunately, the internet has made what used to be a process with a significant barrier to entry (a manual court records search) into a simple google search. The problem is exacerbated by extortionists who post mugshots (many of people who have their charges dropped) and charge a fee to remove them [1]. Regulation which enforces some level of right to be forgotten may be a solution.

I once bought a 2k item online from a well known camera store in the US. I called and asked for a competitor price adjustment. I did end up purchasing it over the phone. A day later I noticed that a fraud specialist from that company looked at my LinkedIn profile. So, yeah I guess that they do have to figure it out on almost every transaction/customer

I think this is the biggest problem with learning x86 assembly (or ARM or anything else) on modern systems (or more specifically modern operating systems).

It’s sometimes difficult to think about the assembly code in situ when you start to think about the operating system doing a ton of context switching and paging etc. in the background, which can distract your thought process from what’s right in front of you (as well as the operating system’s software interrupts / system calls on top of the basic ISA, which is another abstraction!)

Older systems had the currently running program as the entire context of the system at that point in time - in a similar way to embedded programming, which is imho a much easier realm to learn assembly in once you’ve got a bit of basic electronics under your belt!

He is really praising the batteries and electronics as revolutionary. "Other automakers ignore Tesla's electronic at their peril, but Tesla ignored traditional car manufacturing so they are in peril."

At one point Munro says that had Tesla outsourced the manufacture and design of of the car to a company like Magna they would have hit every target and even Toyota would be crapping their pants now. If the traditional mechanical parts of the car would have been even decent, Tesla would have mopped the floor with everybody.
Nothing against the GIMP here, but I gave up on the Gimp about 10 years ago now waiting for it to support color depths greater than 8. Gimp was a great program back in 1998-ish. But the lack of deep color depth support really hampered it.
So to tune the analogy: "A white van was found at the scene. Police have reason to believe the van's owner wasn't driving that day and investigate the owner's son, who is also known to sometimes use that van. That investigation reveals much stronger evidence that the son is the perpetrator."

I see no issues with this chain of investigation. Some tools the police have access to you cannot personally opt out of. That's working as intended.
The old saying "Don't install a new Windows version until SP2 is out" is still true :)
Still very much a language on its own. Rackets loops look very much like a regular lisp construct.
> Turpin said, "In order to fix the problems, we would have essentially had to construct a different story," a process that he said would have been "intellectually dishonest.

LeVar Burton: you don't have to take my word for it!
As I and others have said a few times on this thread and on 2016's thread, there are a huge number of sources of people saying "I got the same question" and "The question was 'What is the signal sent by the kill command.'"

So there are two possibilities:

1. This particular interviewer actually said "What is the name of the KILL signal," despite other interviewers regularly saying the question correctly. The entire thesis of this article is that the interviewer does not understand UNIX and is reading pre-written questions from a piece of paper, so that's an extremely unlikely mistake for the interviewer to make.

2. He misheard the question.

As a start, I'd encourage you to choose different news sources, because I've no idea what you're referring to here and your comment on HN is the first I've seen of it (and thanks for that).

I'm not being facile here; we need more people to stop consuming pop-culture "news" as a good first step towards solving important and difficult problems. Media will report on the subjects that people read, watch, and talk about. So, avoid the garbage.
Aren't test sites just a place you set off the bombs? Seems like the worst possible place to store anything of value.
Chip transactions are indeed a huge signal - a chip transaction can’t be faked due to strong cryptography. Granted, the card can still be stolen, but it’s rare enough that most banks let it though.
> They neither qualify him nor disqualify him. Correctly or near correctly answered trivia questions tell you almost nothing about a candidate other than that they're probably a software engineer of some kind.

Please read the entire sentence you quoted halfway - by "interview performance" I don't mean the correctness of the answers, I mean his a) expectation that UNIX trivia quizzes are a normal part of a director-level interview (and that it's not more likely that there was a miscommunication in scheduling) and b) attitude.
I've heard on the grapevine that essentially all modern DRAM is dodgy and ECCs internally (sort of like flash). When you're buying ECC RAM, it's just exposing that on the bus for end to end ECC.
I feel like the author doesn't understand the design part of OOD. Yes, you can inherit yourself into rigidity. OOP doesn't prevent you from making design choices that turn out to be bad, or are bad in the first place.

You can't reuse a class without reusing the whole world? That's the purpose of dependency injection and depending on interfaces instead of implementation. Decoupling.

Diamond problem? Okay, granted. But this still solvable in most languages with interfaces.

I'm not really drinking the OO Kool-Aid here. I lean functional when I get the chance, but this article reads like someone who's against rope because they hanged themselves.

Scientists who have performed controlled measurements on peoples reactions to MSG.

As usual in human experience, without having specialized knowledge obtained via controlled, repeatable measurements, it is wildly difficult to accurately observe an informational correlation between two out of the literally millions of influential events on your body. Your conviction that MSG causes headaches and nausea is directly analogous to people who are convinced that proximity to arbitrary electromagnetic fields causes acute physical distress. This is standard confirmation bias. We all do it, it's a natural consequence of our brains' imprecise pattern matching combined with the extremely limited perspective any individual human has. The reliable way to mitigate this human flaw is to perform good science.

The ad space is worth exactly $0 without targeting. It wouldn't pay for day to day ops let along make a profit.

The advertisers are the consumers and the ability to target the consumer is the product.

Look at it this way, an actor or a singer sells himself when he works,the entertainment industry sells actors to consumers. In the same way facebook and google sell their users to advertisers.
> I'm not even super anti-DRM. It's dumb, but if I can watch the show I just don't care. Just let me pay you money to watch content.

That's one of our biggest problems: no one cares about DRM until it directly hinders them.

Most people don't care about watching Netflix in Linux, but the rest of us have to deal with being arbitrarily constrained to 720p.

Most people don't mind their favorite video game needing to ask the internet for permission to load, or frequent large forced updates, but that leaves people with slow or limited internet in a frustrating situation.

Our society's problem is apathy: so long as copyright holders provide the bare minimum, they can avoid any serious action, because there simply aren't enough people willing to act against copyright abuse.
It's a hardware register, so it has always has a value (in 64-bit mode, at least), whether or not the program explicitly sets it.
On the east coast it's the same! I don't like walking outside at my parent's house because of the crazy number of bugs but anywhere reasonably developed (like the small college town I live in) doesn't have this problem.

I make just south of 150k (CAN) but could certainly afford to pay 10k more in taxes.

Of course investments in education could then possibly make some of these people productive again.
