Science departed from philosophy precisely when methodology about evidence and falsifiability of claims became involved. Without experiments to determine if a claim is false, a branch of study is really just one big session of just-so stories, where some authority explains what they think and why they think it, supposedly proving it if it's explained convincingly and eloquently enough.

Which is part of why I absolutely can't stand listening to philosophy. It's just not useful to hear people's opinions on things they can't possibly know for sure because of the very nature of the subject. What are you supposed to do with it? It feels like superstition with a veneer of academic legitimacy.

By the way, being able to spot one of these when you hear it is a useful skill in life:

What a crappy useless article. I sincerely doubt it was written by anyone honestly searching for solutions to the named problems.

Reading it feels like having a priest going through your life trying to craft "sins" from everything you broke when life was moving fast. The only person this is helping is the priest of course- it does not solve any problem, it does not stabilize anything.

Makes me wish there was a way to warn follow up users of wasted time on HN.
Cleaning Up Your API Requests Using ES2017’s Async/Await and Fetch
Here is a neat thing to do for the comments section here: open up your browser's console, and enter something like:

for (let i of $$('.comment span.c00')) i.innerHTML = i.innerHTML.replace(/drone/ig, 'gun');

It's really a stunning effect, much more so than just staring at the comments and imagining swapping the words around.

For the record, I don't think drones are exactly equivalent to firearms. But the parallels between the comments here and those of gun advocates is something that should make people stop and go, "hmm."

> Why do I smell propaganda (for more gun laws) when I read this?
Yeah, but I would think that humans are generally bad in "intuitive statistics", e.g. when drawing conclusions based on their observations. Of course most of this may come from our inability to observe accurately/objectively when not dedicating significant brain-power to this task.
I would not underestimate the significance of police in a vacuum. Though I'd agree at the most fundamental level the the lawmakers and elected officials are the real problem, but that is something that is probably intractable.

Most people are naturally not particularly well informed on most things. Expecting them to collectively vote on the people most likely to lead them in all things is bound to result in bad results more than occasionally. Even moreso when we're so easily manipulated by tribalism, charisma, and so on. A successful politician and a successful conman share mostly the same skill set! And restricting voting to some group deemed sufficiently informed is an even worse solution as you'd end up with something like gerrymandering ramped up exponentially.

> The gist of the piece is that a lot of these direct-to-consumer businesses are trying to "disrupt" markets that the vast majority of people don't see as broken.

You can do interesting things with products when you remove some of the vast middle-men distributors that sit between you and the customer and reclaim margin. Whether producing a higher quality product at a lower or similar price, or producing an equal quality product at a far lower price.

Plus, the big product conglomerates and retailers have an effective monopoly on traditional product access (Colgate, Kraft, Procter & Gamble, Walmart, Target, Costco, Walgreens, et al). The margin saved by removing some of the middle-men, can then be used for distribution-marketing-sales to reach out to customers in order to breach that comfortable group monopoly.

Drones must be regulated because people are irresponsible. Sometimes I see photos taken from a drone hanging above the people. What if it falls down?

Therefore, drones need identification. There must be a number on it and there must be a law forbidding to operate a drone without number.
Country is required. Names are almost required, but they don't necessarily need to be on the About page if there's a support forum or some such. If there's something notable about any of the people involved (past projects) that's good to have too, but trivial/bogus/empty biographies do more harm than good.

The real problem is that you can't get a phone [1] which can run upstream kernel. So while there's postmarketOS and Replicant (both trying to port regular Linux (for lack of a better word[2]) to phones), very few phones work properly (and most are fairly old and not sold anymore, IIRC Replicant's newest phone they support is the European S3 - guess how old that thing is).

So now, for each device, you have to port desktop Linux [3] to whatever generation kernel it came with.

Debian, in contrast, can assume that you're using the standard modern kernel.

[1]. I mean that it should work as a phone, not just a small tablet. So if it can't make phone calls, it ain't a phone. All the more so if you want a working GPS and Camera.

[2]. I would have said Gnu/Linux but postmarket is based on Alpine which is based on busybox/muslc and not gnu.

[3]. Anything which issues syscalls is fair game, so, for example, if your oldest phone you want to maintain is six years old, then you have to back port every single program (and library!) to work on a random seven year old kernel.

Even back porting android user space (which is mostly Java and doesn't interact directly with the kernel) is a huge pain (and sometimes is actually that hard that the maintainers just give up). Porting back Debian?

I went in and searched for children, so I can see there is not even English language stemming going on - which I mean that is the most common language to find a stemmer from in my experience.

I used to work for Thomson Reuters on their legal services products and while it is nice seeing something like this outside of a paid for service it's not that impressive. Maybe I'm jaded but from the comments here I was expecting to say 'wow, that is cool' and not immediately find that stemming didn't work.

Sure, but it helps that they are being watched, which aligns good behavior with their self-interest. Seems to be the only factor promoting good behavior at Facebook.

Patrick, I disagree with your stance. You are looking to trade in one problem (housing prices) for more traffic, congestion and a lower quality of life.

I feel like we need avoid latching onto the simplest solution to every problem and think outside of the box on this one.
I think it's the other way around. Cities become more desirable to live in (thus causing housing prices to rise). Developers see a new market and capitalize on it.

Not merely pedantic miscommunication. What do you mean by "hands"?

We understand what hands are, but imagine trying to write a program that infers what hands are, and works automatically for non-humans as well.

And then it has to work for people who don't have five fingers, too.

There are a lot of assumptions embedded in words. None of these are generally interesting, which is why they're best ignored. But they exist.
Is it really trivial though? You can be jailed as an accessory under DMCA for not filtering user content or not responding to takedown notices. (Even if it just was a mail server malfunction.)

NPR had $208 million in revenue in 2016. Even if you assume that 100% of funds from member stations and universities were really from the government, less than $67 million of their funding came from the government. The actual estimates are that around 11%, or around $22 million comes from the government.

I have no clue where you get the idea that NPR has a budget over over 2 billion per year, but you are way off.
> For example, imagine that at noon you look at a stopped clock that happens to have stopped at noon. Your belief that it’s noon is true, and arguably it’s also justified.

I'm going to butcher stuff, but could someone please do an ELI 5 why you can't just infer that the clock isn't working? When I look at clocks I look at the hour hand and minute hand. Then I verify my believe by looking at the second hand. That process takes longer than a second, so I immediately notice the clock isn't working and that I cannot be sure whether it's noon.

I actually have a bit of a tick when watching clocks in that I repeat this process multiple times at the weirdest moments when there is a clock available. I immediately notice a stopping or non-working clock.

I always felt like that -- in first hand experience type of stuff -- we know something is true because we've seen it a trillion times before, like gravity and throwing a tennis ball.

Assuming you make your hydrogen purely by electrolyzing water, you still need a power source to do that. Unless your power source is carbon neutral, it doesn't make sense to say the hydrogen is.
I believe what he meant is that all your “truths” are the same as the believe in the example. You have reasons to believe that those things are true, and certain observations made by you corroborated your hypothesis, leading you to conclude they were true.

For instance, I have 5 fingers in each of my hands: you see them, you use them, so they must exist and be real. I’m no philosopher, but I suspect their arguments would go towards how can you trust your senses and perception to prove ideas about reality...

I presume you’re talking about the headphone jack, which google followed up by removing from their pixel phone 12 months later? Why does apple get the hate here and not google?

> And the exorbitant price tag.

An iPhone 8 is £699 new right now, and a pixel 2 is £629. An 8 is £48 a month, and a pixel 2 is £53/month on contract (I’m sure there are better deals but I’m on a phone) - it’s disonfeuous to call apple out for having expensive Hugh end devices when the google equivalent is just as expensive.

Maybe I'm a spoilt C++ programmer, but 250-300 MB is still bit higher for my tastes. For me the golden standard of cross-platform desktop app is Sublime Text which usually hovers around 100-150 MB for me.

The cost is high due to basic economics. The BLM permit doesn't allow them to let in as many people as now want to come. When they charged a "reasonable" price all the tickets got bought up instantly and people complained about not being able to get in without paying a ridiculous markup to scalpers. Rather than let resellers reap all the benefit of their event, they charged more the next year (especially for last-minute purchases, which complicate planning) and still sold out. So they kept raising the prices until most of the excess demand had been soaked up. Now people who care a LOT about going to BM pay a high price and/or book early, people who care less are dissuaded by too-high prices, and demand more-or-less matches supply. The extra income means they can spend a bit more on artistic grants to make the event somewhat more worth the high price...and also bump salaries and profits a bit.

fair point. my thoughts were that spending your time building $10 widgets and getting paid $5 by someone who is negligent with their use of people's passwords is akin to working for a company that pollutes public waters: some of your paycheck is "tainted" by the dangers you put others into, and you are smart enough to understand it. in that sense, quitting seems like a non-act, because you stop acting unethically.

I'm guessing you're referring to someone's ability to actually fix it -- in the case of logs, you can make a pretty simple regex to strip out all kinds of PII, and there really are a lot of arguments (e.g. proactively reducing cost of security audits -- if someone is reviewing your logs to figure out what happened, they might not want to see customer data).
It’s our problem that developers feel the need to override the default scrolling behaviour which works perfectly across all devices on all platforms?

My initial claim is perhaps a bit too strong. Case law is basically that the unique portions of a T&C or other contract are protected by copyright law, but boilerplate terms that have appeared in lots of different firms' documents are considered public domain.

http://pub.bna.com/ptcj/1051462Jan11.pdf

GDPR-shield's original T&C was actually copied from ShareKit, which is another product from the same company:

https://www.sharekit.io/terms

But going paragraph by paragraph down the terms, you get this list of companies, all with the same language:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Except+for+certain+kinds+...

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22You+must+be+at+least+%5B1...

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22The+Service+may+include+a...

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22may%20suspend%20or%20term...

That's only through section 4, but so far every clause is legal boilerplate except for the first paragraph of section 4, which is unique to ShareKit (and ThreadRadar, another product by the same entrepreneur).
One of the sides is(should be) a CONSTANT. And you can't assign a value to a constant.
