Hmm, well I guess my stuff is broken, because I only have the option to buy a headset when I do that - disabled btw.

But then, my windows still keeps turning down the brightness automatically unless I reboot after logging on the first time, so maybe it’s just a little incompatibility with my old ass laptop.
I think that is only the case when it is for something where you also have to be in one of the categories. For many people, it isn't A OR B. It is their group, or the other group. That is significant.

Even many of the people that point out it can be both, typically identify as a third option. It isn't "my group can also be bad." It is "both of those groups could be bad." Where the talker is pointing from the outside.
I really don't think, it got safer.

It takes some special talent, even as an adult, to take such a big bite off of a classic Kinder egg that you'd have any chance of accidentally swallowing the plastic capsule or somehow else hurting yourself on it.

And with the new egg, I'd be concerned that my kids swallowed that plastic spoon. Like, that's something they actively have to put into their mouth and it's not as interesting as the toy for them to be motivated to not swallow it.

It's also small enough for them to realistically pull this off.
I think two things go on with automation that are good and bad

1) things get cheaper and markets tend to be elastic so demand goes up. Good for whole economy
2) particular jobs disappear completely, very bad for particular sections of the community for a while.

It is sort of inevitable though.
Apple is big, their usability hasn’t gone to shit.
I've been lucky with my oral microbiome.

37 years old. No cavities. No fillings. Brush my teeth once a day in the morning most of my life. Use regular toothpaste. I prefer ultra soft brush, and usually soften them up more with hot water.

The color of my teeth depends on my diet, when I was doing keto or slow carb, it whitened them quite a bit.
Sometimes it’s hard to leave for many reasons.

If the kids small, and they can’t work, then it’s possible to get trapped in a marriage for financial reasons...
"The French cheese makers could sort of comply, by pasteurizing their milk"

And why should the French cripple a delicious and traditional product, which is gladly gobbled up by millions of happy consumers to sell their product in the US?
There is no signalling, except for one marker in the middle of the longest stretch of single track rail between turnouts. Whoever reaches it first can continue, the other party has to go back. Though apparently, you can see whether the other car will be first, and wait.

Also, you don't really need forks, because are light enough to be lifted off the tracks. Some pull them up on special car trailers.
They are majestic, smart and caring and cunning creatures. They’re my favorite animal in the animal kingdom. I’ll never forget the clip I saw of David Attenborough narrating how a female octopus holed up in a save cavern rarely sleeping and slowly dying to ensure that her young were birthed safely only to die as they were born. It was so sad yet so humbling. I also love hearing about times when they escape from aquariums or fishers’ ships. Also isn’t the plural Octopi not as it is in the title?
To me paracetamol works. Or at least worked, until I got addicted, so we're trying to switch to apranax, which acts terribly slowly (plus we added divascan as a generic migraine reducer).

Now I'm at the point where doctors are telling me to avoid pain relief pills so four days out of seven are usually just shit. Makes life harder then it should be.
It hurts my feelings that you think I’m babbling. I’m trying to be as articulate as I can.

I don’t want to write software just for people with 2 year old iPhones. I write software for everyone, especially people who can’t afford anything but the hardware they’re stuck with. That’s why I’m not going to target WASM.

That’s my point: to me, “The Web” isn’t just modern browsers on newish devices. It’s the whole world as an audience. I think that’s why so many people target the web.

I also think WASM is premature optimization in almost all situations.

That said, I totally support anyone who wants to target it. It’s dope technology. If you love Rust and you want to write browser apps with it, and limit your audience a little, knock yourself out. I don’t think you’re embracing what the web is for, but there’s no law that says you have to.
Excellent initiative. However, I wish you had adopted some more compact and minimalistic system like https://www.simplemachines.org/ (also FOSS). I think the compactness is a big reason of the success of Reddit and HN with the tech crowd. UX people be damned, we don't like wasted space.
They use a marker in between the runarounds, and whoever reaches it first can pass while the other car needs to turn back.
Is the chrome extension also vulnerable to this?
Cool, odd that I as a Swedish researcher haven't heard of this... Maybe they ment Switzerland - people have major difficulties discerning the two.

I can hear Laurel, but even with the slider all the way right I hear "yierry" and not "Yanny".
So what can you do with 1.15M logic gates that are in that FPGA? Can you, say, multiply, say 2 256x256 FP32 matrices?
I would be surprised if this isn't dependent on the listener's accent.
Instagram and others like it killed my Facebook feed, but because it was Instagram and others, it meant that people spread, and as a result the other feeds died out fairly quickly as well. I don’t miss it much, but it made me realize I missed blogs and personal geeky pages with actual substance and that I had been using the shallow Facebook feed as a replacement for the “real” internet.

Facebook is still so useful for groups and events that it’s impossible to leave though. I mean, you can leave, but then you’re the guy/woman whom others need to go out of their way to schedule with.
This is true, but I suspect something else might be going on. LocationSmart said it couldn't find the location of my phone at all, but even if I'm visible to only one tower it should at least be able to narrow it down to the location of that tower.
Is it just me or has the Google Maps API died a slow and lonely death?

I remember a time when every week there would be an exciting new Google Maps 'mashup', game, or design concept built using the Google Maps API. Developers were constantly trying to one up each other in the Maps game. It was like one giant maps party that went on for several years. Can you name an API that has had that much buzz or rabid excite from both developers and non-technical spectators? I think not.

Now it just seems like developers have lost interest because Google decided to shit all over the party by making their API more restricted and expensive. It became all about $$$ so they started to slap expensive bill on developers' side projects that got a little too popular.

The fuck was Google thinking...
Here's a really interesting article on the topic: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...

Note that in the DC statute discussed in the article, it refers to "publicizing an asserted fact". One could argue that repeating the fact that the mug shot exists in a different forum is an act of publicizing. In this day and age, publication is increasingly a matter of degree -- everyone's a publisher, if you count Twitter and Facebook. It would still be blackmail, I think, if you threatened to take someone's tweet and put it on the front page of the NY Times unless you receive a lifetime supply of M&M's and Diet Coke ...

Coordination is hard, otherwise this would already have happened. I recommend "Inadequate equilibria" by Eliezer Yudkowsky https://equilibriabook.com/ if you want a better grasp on how and why such situations arise and cannot be easily optimized.
Here's a fascinating article on the crime of blackmail, which addresses a lot of the questions that have been brought up on this thread: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...
Or he probably meant sending an anonymous tip, if that is even possible..
I agree with you, but in this particular case, it seems to be a free chatting app, not a revenue-making business. From the looks of it, I think the author's motivation for writing and maintaining this are ideological, to provide privacy to users. "This app has no ads, no user behavior tracking and all messages are exchanged directly with the XMPP chat server". Doesn't look like a business to me.

Interesting, more or less, nothing is 100% secure. Looks like DEA had cracked the whatever crypto Blacberry was using and quite a few drug dealers were caught that way (one example: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-deas-dirty-cop-who-tipped-... ). They must have been using because of the reputation BB had. I wonder what will we find out in time about the narcos, terrorists etc using Signal.
If your audience can exclude the very poor and people with extreme bandwidth limitations ( for updating OS, etc), or you can afford to just tell people “no” then that’s certainly a decision you can make. But you’ll be saying no to a lot of people.
Thabk god there is the government to protect me!
„humanity could be ushered into a new economy where driving is a hobby, only for sunny days along clear roads with a view. The struggles and tedium of the daily commute could be handled by autonomous vehicles, traffic accidents could fall to nil, passengers could focus on working and relaxing in their mobile offices, and the elderly, disabled, and blind could have considerable mobility and autonomy.”

Sounds remarkably like a world with good public transport.
Uhh, none of those are patent trolls. Sure they may sue their competitors but they actually make products. Patent trolls by definition do not.
It's a reasonable action based on shifting tides and uncertainty, particularly for a project with no revenue to speak of. If the EU wants to do arbitrary things, that's on them.

Having incontrovertible evidence and proof that there's no hope of rehabilitation?
I think there are obvious cases where someone is beyond help, but I think it comes down to setting defined standards (some of which we have, but I think we should be more explicit on those standards and slower to execute), even though it costs the tax payers more. I have known and lived with a former hitman who was truly rehabilitated and redeemed, but I have seen cases where to me, that's so unlikely to happen that until we have some way to guarantee that they cannot hurt another, they should probably be executed.

I'm not saying it's an easy problem to solve. Solitary confinement may be the only way to protect others from being killed, but then you can debate how torturous that is compared to death. And some would argue that torture is what they deserve, but I don't think that way.

I guess I'm in favor of the ideal, but I'm also pragmatic enough to realize that we should aim for the goal of favoring life while we may have to make gradual steps in getting there.

When I was younger I was far more staunchly of a death penalty advocate, but the older I get, the more I value life in general and the hope of redemption.

Unfortunately, I think like with animals (I hate saying it this way), but currently there are times you have to put them down, either to end their suffering or the suffering of others.

But like I said, this is a view I'm constantly re-evaluating, as when it comes to a person's life, I don't think we should ever take that lightly. Especially if it's baked into the legal system and administered by the government.
So "patent troll" must be for tech to shun and declare upon them? Crushing your competition with everything possible is any better?
One thing I'd like to see is more use of containers and permissions locally.

For example, my IntelliJ runs as my user account, but it doesn't need access to all my files.

I should be able to select which directories it has access to and it's within a container by default.

I mean I can set this stuff up manually, but in the future I'd like to see this as the default.

Similar to the way Android apps ask for permissions.

Interestingly enough, blackmail statues usually apply even when the information at issue is TRUE. Read the article I linked to elsewhere -- it opens with an interesting comment that blackmail is a paradox -- it's criminalizing a consensual transaction between two people, regarding otherwise Constitutionally protected behavior.
I don't want to sound like an asshole, but one from the world of chronic headaches, here is what I took away from the doctors in the last five years:

1. the brain is complicated and we don't know much about it
2. anything can trigger migraines
3. sometimes a trigger is not a trigger, but an ailment
4. some things may or may not cure migraines
5. life is full of hardships and hardships are not good for headaches

I have such a wonderful list of diagnosis that if it wouldn't be about the pain, I'd laugh my ass off about it.
I had the same experience when using headphones. But then I showed it to my wife, through the crappy phone speakers, and she could only hear green needle, no matter what. And I... green storm. So quality matters too.
I've wondered if there is a startup idea there. SecureIoT.com that provides free certs for free projects and commercial certs for commercial projects? A few cents per device and some good sales people to get IoT companies to sign up for a managed solution?

I think the problem is few IoT devices (except maybe IP cameras and NAS) provide a webpage. Most provide an app and that app and device talk to the cloud not the device

“Taking royalties on Android phones and some dark UX patterns in Windows 10” ... I don’t think you realize just how bad it was in the late 1990’s.

Imagine a parallel world where in 2018:

- Android is proprietary software and is the OS on 95% of smart phones worldwide; it costs $140 per copy and licensing is strictly policed

- GoogleOS (or some such) is similarly proprietary and commands 97% of the OS market on personal computers and data center nachines combined. $199.99 per license ($600 for servers), volume licensing arrangements available.

- Linux and Mac OS are used here and there, but they’re not for “real work” (except in a few narrow markets) and those who push for them are laughed at.

Worst, Google takes full advantage of their monopoly positions in OS markets:

- they sell essential apps that compete with 3rd party apps by using powerful secret APIs and system calls

- They pre-install some apps for free (most notably Chrome) to gain market share in other markets

- They copyright their APIs and threaten lawsuits against anyone who implements their interfaces elsewhere

- they fight against open standards and come up with their own, competing, proprietary standards. When that doesn’t work, they adopt the open standard (amidst a huge marketing campaign) but later add a large number of proprietary extensions to their implementations, to lock people in to their implementation and further edge out competition.

- when an open-source OS or competing product starts to gain in popularity, they spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) through their PR machine. It works marvelously, especially in the corporate world.

- they strong-arm and manipulate hardware manufacturers via hardball contracts to pre-install Google’s OSes on at least X% of machines sold (where X is a high percentage) with costly consequences if they fail to do so.

That’s a lot like the world where Microsoft was king. They seemed absolutely undefeatable. And if the cloud and mobile revolutions hadn’t happened, they certainly still would be.
You can run it as a chrome extension, which I do, in a dedicated VM.
This makes little sense. There is nothing in the GDPR that you shouldn't already have done. Besides, even if you don't operate in the EU, it makes sense to have a basic privacy setup anyway, and GDPR compliance is just that...

https://gdprchecklist.io (was on HN a few days ago IIRC)

On top of that, this isn't american lawyering. If you make a mistake or are simply trying but not having a good time at it, you're not automatically destroyed, put in jail, fined for billions of euros etc.

The GDPR is beneficial to everyone, except people with bad intentions or bad practises (like having big budgets for PR, Ads and the CEO but not for tech).

The GDPR for basic FOSS and other single-person software boils down to:

- Don't capture data and not ask first
- Don't capture data and not tell
- Don't capture data and now show
- Don't capture data and not say where it is
- Don't capture data and not say who can access it
- Generally, users should be able to CRUD their data
- Delete data on request
- Export data on request

Most of that is common sense and in most non-commercial services this is available anyway.
You can make it even simpler:

- Only CRUD when a user CRUDS and tell them that is what they are doing while they are doing it
- Make sure the delete/opt-out/close account button actually works
- Have a line somewhere saying "i'm hosting this on platform XYZ in country ABC"

Since you are likely going to build CRUD + delete account anyway, that's a solved problem. Unsubscribe/Delete account usually already exists, no problems there either. That leaves writing a few lines telling users where you are storing stuff and how to contact for issues.

Don't forget: laws comparable to the GDPR were already in effect long before the EU came up with a EU-wide version. In the UK for example, you could ask a business to send an export of all the data they have on you via mail, and they were bound by law to comply. In the netherlands, if you store PII of people who are not your clients and send them mail/spam/offers, you get fined. Hell, they even had a more universal version where you aren't allowed to put mail in someone's mailbox unless it was addressed specifically to them, and there was one where you weren't allowed to put any ads in if the mailbox was marked for that. And you have a system where cold-calling was not allowed, same for fax-ads.
This reminds me of a first date I went on once. We met at Carls Jr because she happened to be passing through the area and didn't have much time, and after 20 mins says, "So, is this heading towards marriage? I don't have time to waste."

This app is way too much, way too fast.
And yet developers still use Googles stuff, supporting them.

It's exactly like in the 90's with Microsoft. It wasn't hard to see that it would happen with Google as well, because it always does, to all giant companies, due to the structure of capitalism we use.
> Own a cafe ? You should be cooking in a safe manner.

Almost no restaurants score a perfect 100% during food inspections.

Many regulations understand that real life works on a gradient. That is why cars have varying safety standards that they have to meet based on their size and class, and why consumers can pay more for cars with a higher safety rating.
I mean... there's no correct application of waterfall. The whole waterfall process comes from a paper as an example of how not to run an engineering project

That is a very strange thing to say considering that the method comes from "real" branches of engineering (mech, civil, electrical, etc) and you can simply look around you at your built environment to know that it has delivered an awful lot of real, actual stuff. They didn't agile up the building you're sitting in or the roads that lead to it or power station that makes it work or any of the things in it.
On some level I don't blame them as our national media discourse is at a 5th grade level.

Beginning of Big data to Fast data race
I have noticed the same thing, my news feed is full of people that I don't even message at facebook. Later I realised that it's because I unconsciously spend more time on their posts because of their clickbaity nature (ex. politics, humorous posts, attractive people, controversial topics) than I do with my real friends. I tried creating a few accounts to test this hypothesis and found out that even if I don't like or comment on their posts, just the act of hovering over their posts for a few seconds longer than other friends is enough for the news feed algo to prioritise these posts on my feed.

Twitter got it right with a "customisable news feed", the list[0], where I could create several list timelines for my friends and organize them by those who post about tech, business, political rants, etc.

US Agencies don't need a Constitutional Amendment to come into existence - the usual method is simply a law that Congress passes that the President then signs. E.g. Dept of Energy, Dept of Education, Dept of Homeland Security, Dept of Housing and Urban Development, etc. going way back to the Dept of Foreign Affairs (precursor to Dept of State).

Obamacare (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) was also created by Congress - bill passed in both houses, signed by the President, upheld by the Supreme Court. That's basically a textbook example of how the system is supposed to work.

I'm not sure why the EPA (and others, like FEMA) were created by Executive Order instead.

As far as why Congress hasn't declared war since WW2, they've basically rolled up their say into the War Powers Act and the War Powers Resolution which provides for them being informed and issuing continuing approvals. They can then support the President (as Commander in Chief) but not officially declare war.
