How? Unless you have Windows 10 Enterprise Microsoft will not allow you to opt-out of basic telemetry.

Why does that matter?

I would agree with that. Everybody top to bottom should at least shadow tech support and sales.

Where I draw the line, I think, is trying to make meaningful “productive” contributions at the “worker bee” level. Be it code commits, installing rebar, or packing a shipment, you are there to gain empathy and to learn what is up on the front line. This means you get to watch and ask a lot of questions. If you do actual work, your host will be right next to you guiding you. They get all credit for any work produced.

You are the guest, they are the host. Trying to do their job for them isn’t gonna help you do yours. Learning how they do their job, why they do what they do, and how to make it better... that is your job.

Note: I’m talking about leaders that are one or two levels removed from the rank and file.

I dont disagree with OP.

There is such a gigantic massive amount of information we dont know.

Any words spoken about how life is created should be met with the same skepticism we have toward religion. We require evidence and the scientific method, a simulation made my students who need to be correct for a PhD isnt evidence.

If you want to try cascara straight up yourself as a tea, Sweet Maria's[0] sells it:

https://www.sweetmarias.com/colombia-finca-la-vega-cascara-t...

Shipping might be a little high if you're buying just that, but they do will-call pickup in Oakland too.

It's good - it has a light fruit flavor, and has a bit of coffee tastes without being bitter.

0: Sweet Maria's is a great shop and resource for green coffee and roasting. If you drink even a moderate amount of coffee, roasting your own is pretty easy and pays for itself in a few months. If it sounds up your alley, skip the air popper and get a real roaster, though.

I am curious to know about this book as well. Someone plz help us!
I never said that it is inappropriate for a "typed language", in fact, far from it.
At least in most of the US (can't speak for all 50 states) vehicles are taxed based on weight- a 1 ton pickup will cost more each year to register than a compact car or motorcycle. And what is a better method to tax based on usage than taxing fuel? Do you really want to have to log every mile driven, and submit it to the IRS? Parent poster had a good point, in that this will need to be examined in regards to EV usage of roads, but how much $ do you think it would cost to have automatic toll collection points to cover the entire US road network, and where are those billions/trillions going to come from?

And I would also like to point out that the main reason to tax fuel isn't to cover emissions, it's to help pay for the incredibly expensive roads that we all use (regardless of mode of transport). Sure, it is a good side effect that inefficient vehicles are taxed higher than more efficient ones, but that is a side effect, not the goal. Your proposed solution is far more complicated than just metering EV charging separately and taxing a portion of it.

A lot of commenters are saying that Pastor Stevens is right, and that more should be done. I encourage all people to volunteer and to try to make our world a better place, not just through donations, but through labor as well. The joys and rewards of volunteering and helping others are innumerable and ever growing; even The Economist of all magazines thinks so too [https://www.economist.com/node/8023307]. If you see that your world is not what you want it to be, please consider volunteering. Here are some organizations I have worked with and can vouch for:

At some point in time we Americans are going to have to come to grips with the computational abilities of the state. There are way too few safeguards in the system and the Bill of Rights does not seem to be adequate in dealing with the new reality that private companies can acquire a vast amount of information on us and thereby sell it to law enforcement. Law enforcement can use privately obtained information without a search warrant [1].

What happens with false positives? What's the recourse? This very real, pernicious circumstance is rarely well thought out in advance. The no-fly list is a great example of what happens when there are not sufficient safeguards in the system.

The reality of the computational state is not going to go away. As technology progresses the informational capacity of the state increases. Are we prepared for this? At present I think not. See the reaction to the NSA warrantless surveillance of phone calls. Our leaders for the most part decried the leaking of the surveillance rather than the act of the surveillance.

Regardless of what screen you are authenticating on, a key stored on the iPhone secure element can always be considered to be a factor in the authentication process.

If are logging into a site on your mobile device, and part of the authentication verifies your password and another part verifies that you are in fact on your mobile (e.g. verifying a signature of a private key stored on the device) I would still call that multi-factor authentication.

Optionally, there may be a user prompt on the device before allowing the signature.

Optionally, the user prompt could also require a local biometric authentication (3rd factor).

Or there could be no prompt at all — just a automatic handshake proving it is the same device being used that was originally enrolled.

In any case you are constraining the authentication process to only work with access to a specific private key, hence a second factor.

That is incredible leadership from a capitalistic perspective. Look at other business leaders like Tony Hayward of BP or John Stumpf of Wells Fargo. Getting away with atrocities under the banner of "We're sorry" is not easy. It takes years of practice and a highly orchestrated performance on Capitol Hill and other places.

Website Login: Legal Advice
I have an app that I want to accept as an input user credentials to a third party site and then automatically fill out and submit a form via a JSON request for them- a task that would normally have to be done manually .

I’ve sought out an API from the third party site but they would not provide me with one. I’ve also read the Terms of Use provided by the site and I’m unable to find anything in the current revision that explicitly prohibits me so long as I’m respectful of their bandwidth/infrastructure.

Assuming that I follow the proper protocols in securing the user’s permission to login on their behalf and in preserving the user’s privacy and security, would my approach present any issues legally speaking?

My goal is to provide maximal convenience and phenomenal user experience and I’d like to alleviate this unnecessary date entry burden for them...

If interest rates rise and then fall again over a relatively short term (several years or longer in the case of real estate) then housing prices might not fall much because owners will pull property off the market and wait for it to improve. The reduced supply (possibly greatly reduced) will tend to drive prices higher even as interest rates are driving them lower.
They're similar in complexity, but made easier by the fact that graph databases explicitly exist to query these types of relationships. Where someone may not know how to find their root manager node in an employee table, it would be an ideal thing to query for in a graph database. There are functions like 'shortestPath' in neo4j for example.
August 2014 I was taking suitcases out of a vehicle and a few days later found myself in so much pain that I threw up while trying to get out of bed. Went the physical therapy and steroid route. Not very much results. To the point that three months later I bent down to pick up a piece of paper and could not get up. After 45 minutes of laying on the floor swearing in pain my daughter called 911 and I took the first ambulance ride of my life. I walk 5 miles a day, but for two months could not walk from my bedroom to the kitchen.

I have collapsed disk at L2/L3 and to a slightly lesser extent L4. Four doctors said surgery was the only answer. I went to that many trying to find a different answer as I had heard so many stories of failed back operations. Plus a few years ago a 25 year old kid that worked for me went in for “minor” back surgery. He left St Francis Hospital in a hearse. They cut a blood vessel, did not realize it and he internally bleed to death.

Instead of surgery I went with steroid injections in my back and a chiropractor. Both helped somewhat. The chiropractor suggested I try Yoga. Weird thing for a socially conservative midwestern kid (who is now 60), but at that point I’d try anything.

Yoga saved me. I started with restorative and now do mixed level. I can now keep up with many of the guys 20 plus years younger than me. A friend had a bad back since a car accident a decade ago. I convinced him to try Yoga and he has had similar positive results.

Is my back perfect now? No, but probably close to what it was before I realized it was damaged

You should talk to your doc about Yoga.

It's still powerful if it impacts people. Manipulation, is still powerful if it works.

Which is where you might be confused, you can be incredibly insincere and abusive (seems common in business) but still a great leader (great in this context not meaning just), as they've shown they can a) get out of sticky situations b) continue making money and c) have a relatively happy team. So in this scenario what would actually back up your argument would be demonstrations of the apologies having zero impact, the team hating the apologies and thus being less productive, and/or a general loss of revenue.

I'd take a subject that busy engineers would be interested in knowing more about but don't have the time it take to investigate it. I.e. going in depth about how the chrome debugger work in javascript to analyze performance. I remember reading a blog post about it and a few weeks later it really helped me.

You could write about new programming languages or new algorithms that just came out. Anything with nice animation is a plus. (I.e. to illustrate the algorithm)

Another thing that I find interesting is interviewing great people in the field. Often, there are questions I wish I could ask them that most other interviewers don't because they're not technical enough.

You can write about weird bugs that you encountered, how you fixed them and what lessons you learned.

Farmers are screwed because they produce a commodity, and because there is a couple year lag between supply and demand (you can’t count on a bumper crop the first time you try).

The advice I see given out time and again to small farmers is to stay boutique. Try to grow something that not everybody else is. The volumes are low but the prices are higher. However this is always in the context of satisfying a local market. With the exchange rates who knows. And niche produce and vegetables don’t tend to have the shelf life of beans and grains, so you can’t ship them as far.

A few years ago a friend of mine started importing this stuff. He got a sample of a syrup made, and then started selling it. It was a slow start because he was just one guy and had other interests, but then I remember when he told me that Starbucks was starting to make a seasonal cascara drink.

Seeing this just reminded me how often it is that opportunities for little startup's are missed because the founder was unable to commit fully at the time.

You are stating the extra-ordinary claims, not me.
Maybe we can take advantage of the fact it's orbiting the wrong way. Perhaps we can send an impactor and capture some of the ejecta. At the very least we can analyze the spectra of the impact flash to see what it's made of. Perhaps we can even fly through the ejecta plume and run it into a mass spectrometer to do isotopic analysis. If the time between the impactor and the probe is short enough, perhaps the ejecta will still be plasma which we can run straight through our mass spectrometer. It might even be possible to capture a small amount of ejecta if we use something like an aerogel particle collector like the Stardust mission used[0].

It's the leaking they fear most. The implementation of surveillance technologies is unavoidable. Ban them all you like, they will be used regardless. Privacy is dead, and nobody can save it.

What we DO have a shot at controlling is what is done with the data. Probably the best hope for safeguarding things like freedom and democracy lies in making surveillance data transparent and public.

From https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread.

> Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs.

So for a ShowHN you should submit a link to your site, not an indirect link.

Some feedback anyway:

* The name is used by many sites. I first didn't find the
link in PH so I tried Google and I get many many many sites that are not related to your site.

* If you are going to post this again to HN I'd cheat a little and post a link to the info of a city like NY, instead of the home page. The home page is too clean, the info of a particular city gives a better understanding of the service you provide.

* By the way, is it possible to make a permalink to the info of a city?

* If I see the info of a city and I try to delete the name to type the name of another city, the name reappears and I can't get the new city.

(I.E. 1) type NY and view the info. 2) hit delete until the name of the city disappears, and one or two more times 3) try to type the name of another city)

* Which cities are supported? Are you tracking the unsupported cities that are popular in the search box?

* Do you have a disclaimer in case some moron see "low" and decides to skip his antialergic medication?

* It would be nice to replace the squares that say mold/grass/trees/weeds with some small graphics of them instead of a square. IANAD

* It doesn't work in IE11 (don't worry too much, most sites don't work in IE11)
Seems very useful, thanks. Curious how it affects cpu usage. Would be cool if you can explain how it works. I can see even the gifs and videos(which I think makes this even more useful) are rendered black & white.
And yet, Canada had to legislate a domestic automobile industry into existence (By forcing US auto manufacturers to open plants in Canada if they wanted to sell there), instead of just letting the big three import their cars. Without it, eastern Canada would lose tens of thousands of well-paid jobs.

Oh, and as soon as Canada had a competitive product in the aerospace industry (from Bombardier), the United States government slapped the company with a 200% import tariff. And here I thought that free trade benefits all parties...

If Ethopia by some miracle became a leading auto manufacturer, I assure you, the free trade rhetoric would find some way to protect GM, Chrystler-Fiat, and Ford from it. The United States is not interested in being a resource economy, with value-added industry happening somewhere else.
To those who view this story as political (such as HN moderators), think about it. Press freedom is a much more fundamental issue than political affiliation.

Much of the discussion that has been suppressed by mods on HN has had to with the knee-jerk characterization of stories like this as political. It will be interesting to see whether this story survives on the home page or whether the thought suppression regime (mods and their cronies) is able to suppress it.

Press freedom is, in a sense, in opposition to authoritarianism. HN mods have shown a strong pro-authoritarian sentiment, so I would not be surprised to see this story (and even this comment) come under attack.

Warning: Up-voting this comment will put you on the radar of the moderators.
