The conclusions to this certainly made sense to me. Were they debunked or forgotten?
They do, but there's a wrinkle. Specifically, it's not fully correct to equate NIMBYs and landowners in SF. SF has plenty of renters who are also NIMBYs, having been convinced that the only way to preserve their lifestyle is to oppose everything.
FB is the platform for old friends to reconnect and for extended families to stay in touch - neither of which are that important to a teen. The more interesting trend is teens watching YT in lieu of TV - my teen's viewing habits are almost exclusively centered around YT. It'll be interesting to see what the long-term ramifications of that are.
Some companies could get together and create a WATCO score. Something like a credit score, but is based on information from various watchlists.

Then you could sell consumers products the help them lower their WATCO score.

But Ferrari matters greatly in the luxury sports car segment. There's no sin in tailoring a business to a small niche.

Heck, I'd say "in the grand scheme of things", if you look at some of the data available (https://petapixel.com/2017/03/03/latest-camera-sales-chart-r...), stand-alone digital cameras "don't matter market-wise" compared to what has replaced them for a lot of people -- smartphones. Not that all stand alone digital cameras will disappear anytime soon (especially in segments like the DSLR market where the lenses can offer advantages for certain pictures), but the general purpose "compact digital camera" is probably doomed.

This is the opposite of a problem. Overpopulation is a huge global issue.

The maximum age of a bug in a bug tracker is not really a meaningful metric. All software has bugs, and all large, widely used software has some problems or limitations that no-one is working on. You can close those issues to tidy things up, but that's also a good way to annoy people.

So the only conclusion you can really draw from "one bug was 11 years old" is that they had been using that issue tracker for at least 11 years.

Very few people are "fine" being homeless anywhere and I don't think this is what OP was trying to say. But if you're choosing between being homeless in Chicago and being homeless in LA or San Francisco, one of the options is much more attractive. There's a reason that newspapers in San Francisco don't have to report the number of people who froze to death each winter, which absolutely happens each year in Chicago.

The elephant in the room is drug use. Nobody wants to admit it, but most of the problems that the non-homeless experience with the homeless are related to drug use and mental health issues.

The EU has been making moves towards financial transparency largely driven by the UK getting on the open data bandwagon. (Ten years ago they were much worse than the US in terms of seeing government data as a revenue source, now they are far ahead of other countries.)

This is endangered by Brexit and GDPR.

One part of the global governance crisis is that legislators have been captured by a "one dollar one vote" situation and in turn cannot maintain tax rates that produce sufficient government revenues. Thus the bureaucratic sectors have focused on keeping the lights on by trying to get people to pay what they owe. Given massive tax evasion by the rich that has to be a priority so general transparency around cross-border financial transactions has to increase.

Perhaps some people who want to be "forgotten" are not criminals, but when you look for specific cases of people who are making these requests they are frequently white collar criminals who are hoping they can sweet talk somebody again into another chance to lie, cheat and steal to pay for gambling or cocaine or whatever.

Salt Lake City's homeless population has gone up dramatically recently. In part because homeless people have heard how good the resources are here and are coming in from other cities faster than they can be taken care of.

But that actually supports your point that there might be more people willing to be homeless in certain areas than can be adequately taken care of.

As a teacher at a tough school in Baltimore, almost every parent or guardian I dealt with wanted nothing more than a bright future for their kid. The lengths some of these parents went through were beyond impressive. But these are families who are often suffering the compounding effects of poverty and living in impoverished communities. That means they often didn't have a high quality education themselves or social capital or political pull.

Today's "nonideal" parent is just the kid the system failed yesterday. Any solution has to acknowledge the debt we have built up.

I read the article you linked. It's a great article. But what it doesn't say is "unfortunately, this is not a problem money can solve", and I'm not sure how you reached that conclusion.

Of course there are ways of spending money that don't have good "outcomes". But the article both cites examples where monetary investment has paid off and also challenges the reader to take an expansive view of what the "outcomes" are. Which I 100% agree with, because schools in impoverished carry far more of the load of holding together communities and providing essential services than in well off areas.
"Threats to users' privacy and security are growing."

s/privacy/&, autonomy/'

Case in point about autonomy is on HN front page at present:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17196888

The author cites a hypothetical example where a user shopping at Megastore is blocked from accessing her preferred source of DNS data in order to prevent her from checking a price.

Extending this hypothetical, imagine if in response to her request for an unbiased price quote the user was shown unwanted ads with inflated, customised pricing (informed by data gathered about her through tracking).

Choice of DNS data is an effective way for users to block advertising and tracking.

The issue with user control over DNS also arises with mobile and other devices (e.g. Chromecast/Google Cast/Google Home) that discourage or prevent a user from using her preferred source of DNS data, forcing her to use a commercially-oriented source which may block certain lookups.

This is relevant with any computer that connects to the internet.

It is an issue of autonomy.

There is a long tradition of HOSTS files and later non-commercial DNS where users can autonomously determine where on the network they want to "go". They have the final control over the source of DNS data the computer will use. They can delegate DNS service to someone else, however, following that long tradition, they still retain the autonomy to choose the source of the DNS data, whether it is another third party, their own DNS servers or perhaps /etc/hosts in place of DNS.

When an organization (e.g. running an "app store") seeks to circumvent the ability of the user to choose her own DNS data source on her own computer, that is an attack on autonomy.

The author mentions that Firefox will allow users to choose their own "DOH DNS" servers. If so, this respects users' autonomy.

(No one seems to be mentioning one obvious advantange of DOH DNS for browsers: bulk DNS "prefetch" lookups. One can use HTTP/1.1 pipelining to retrieve the IP addresses for every hostname contained in an HTML page, with a single HTTP request, instead of numerous, simultaneous DNS requests. As for privacy problems with TLS fingerprints, HTTP requests can be secured by CurveCP as an alternative to TLS - example is in my profile.)

GNOME and Debian are very committed to free software and Github certainly was always out of contention for them due to being proprietary software.

As discussed on the article, GitLab also wasn't an option for them before the change from a CLA to a DCO. The CLA meant that although gitlab was licensed under a free software license, GitLab Inc. had permission to relicense future versions of GitLab as proprietary software, without needing to obtain permission from the original contributors. This meant that GitLab used to not be sufficiently free "in spirit" for Debian and GNOME. (While this might seem a bit paranoid, Debian and GNOME want to avoid the worst case scenario of GitLab being acquired by a company that isn't as friendly to software freedom.)

All in all, I think GitLab is doing a great job at working together with free software projects like Debian and GNOME and I am sure all the involved parties will greatly benefit from this collaboration.
So why is Signal updating?
> Im sure that if you put up a vote landowners and rent-controlled renters have a concentrated interest, and renters and foreigners dont have representation even if they are the majority. If you took all renters of SF in the last 6 years you might get a higher number than landowners but they cannot fight it politically.

What's interesting about this situation is that there are likely many people that work in SF that would vote for expanding housing but cannot vote because they don't live in SF, presumably because they cannot afford to. The system reinforces itself.

> SF has a very high foreigner population that cant vote.

Remember, this is SF we're talking about. Long term they're not going to let a lack of citizenship stop someone from voting:

It's just an example of their breadth. It would be difficult to intentionally boycott them because you'd have to cross-reference everything against a huge list of random junk like that.

Careful with how "lived in homes before" is defined. Is that "has ever lived in a home before" or "lived in a home and was forced out by increased rent"? The former is something true for just about any person and doesn't mean much WRT the issue.
I would wager attorneys are very careful when opening their mouth over the telephone.

For magazines you could have a friend or a robot cut out the ads, for radio you could switch to a CD while the ads run.

And if so, how should this be enforced?

> because I have a lot of experience shipping a lot of robust, maintainable code, and none of it has been true for me

Ave you ever had to work on an application that's more than 5 years old, with an active dev team of 30+ (just the web developers) that have had over 200 hands in the pie including contractors then? I have, and it was a nightmare. Frameworks and modern tools help to take care in these situations.

The application above was around 2007-2008 IIRC... different parts made by different teams, cobbled together. Layers of backend cruft as well. I did help start a new project, that had much more consistent/clean structure. But when you have too many hands in a pie, and no automated testing in place, you wind up with that eventually.

I've been developing web based applications since 1996. I've lived through the eras without the browsers and abilities we have today... the growth of the DOM and the JS language from a few interfaces for forms, to being able to do so very much.

You don't have to use anything to ship your code... but you have to do something to get a few dozen devs working on something cohesive.
You're right; failing to detect weapons (and thus letting people die) is a fatal error that can't be corrected. Failing to correctly id you is something that can be corrected by a human afterwards. I'm much happier to let a system incorrectly id someone than to let them onto a plane with a weapon.

That said, this seems like just one of many potential id methods that would comprise a larger system (facial recognition, fingerprinting, etc).

> I think it's reasonable not to allow foreigners to vote on local political issues, just as we do on national ones. I wouldn't expect to have a say on political issues in countries I'm not a citizen of. Otherwise you don't have any skin in the game. You can just leave if you don't like the way things are going.

Countries have fought their independence fighting under the concept of "No Taxation without representation".

Reasonable or not I can assure you that foreigners pay the highest rents, have the least rent-control and less land in San Francisco.
The question you’re bringing up is why do people consume entertainment. Is it for the memes, or is it for the artifact (like a movie)?

If you believe it’s for the memes, then extended reviews like RLM wouldnt be allowed. If you believe it’s for the artifact as the creator meant for you to consume it, then RLM is off the hook.

Personally I don’t think people consume entertainment for the memes, at least not primarily. The memes arise from the interpretation of the individual and the group that consumes the entertainment. The creators of the artifact mean for you to consume it in a specific way, and if you reproduce that without their permission then you are violating copyright.
We don't ask anything hard. For JS candidates, given [1, 2, 3, 'a'] return an array without the letter. Debug an AJAX call (the URI protocol has an obvious typo). For react candidates, implement an event handler for a button that increments and shows a value (all prewritten, just add this.setState({value: ++value});

We also guide them and give hints and encourage interaction, or if they need to think we leave them alone.

If that requires too strong of nerves, uh, oh well I guess. I don't know how else to judge their technical ability and soft skills.
I live near a border crossing thats opening hours are set in the time zone on the other side.

My side doesn't observe DST. The other side does.
The border keeps different Summer and Winter hours.

Trying to figure out when I need to leave to make sure I get to the border during its open hours to get through, and then when I need to leave (in local time on the other side) to get back through during the open hours is an extremely tedious problem.

Worst part is crossing the border is just me driving South. My longitude doesn't really change.
Never cared much for the original Star Wars, and certainly don't care for the new ones. Don't care for the vast majority of movies, or even traditional media. I don't consume sports, so the only ESPN I view is Five-Thirty-Eight on election cycles. Meanwhile I haven't watched TV, or ABC in 8 years. Apparently I'm (accidentally) boycotting a lot of media.

I actually didn't realize it was so hard to avoid most of those things. They're full of the same old same old, and produce nearly no satisfaction for me. It's like eating fast food, very tasty, but of no quality. Though I say that, and yet regularly consume fast food. Goes to show my opinion of most "mainstream" media I guess
Math and critical thinking are great, but being good at those things is means little if you cannot express yourself or learn from others in your field. That requires reading.

There was always a problem with misaligned incentives. If you're not paying for the review, they have no loyalty to the reader.

e-commerce websites pay lip service to deleting fake reviews but higher product review scores result in more sales. Even if this doesn't result in intentionally ignoring fake reviews in pursuit of short term sales growth, note how Amazon.com like all other five star rating systems suffers from massive score inflation. Most have a 4.5/5.0 rating. 4.0 indicate some potential problems (or less sophisticated customers), and 3.5 means it's sub-par.

A lot of online stores simply have no customer review section because they have rationally determined that for them decreased conversions due to bad reviews and moderation costs exceed increase in conversions due to good reviews.

GAM is awesome for this. We've also had good luck with Google Apps Scripts. The advantage is that it makes it marginally easier to set up credentials: it does so behind the scenes so you never have creds with admin permissions hit disk. The disadvantage is you're now editing an old-ish version of JavaScript in a janky browser editor that saves to some weird bespoke JSON format. You can also use clasp (https://github.com/google/clasp) to edit these files from your favorite editor but now you own a Software Engineering Project.

Here's roughly what that looks like to get all the mentioned info out:

function getGroups(domain) {
var groups = [], pageToken, page;
do {
page = AdminDirectory.Groups.list({
domain: domain,
maxResults: 100,
pageToken: pageToken
});

if (page.groups && page.groups.length > 0) {
groups = groups.concat(page.groups);
}
pageToken = page.nextPageToken;

} while (pageToken);
return groups;
}

function getGroupPerms(groups) {
var perms = [];
for (var i = 0; i < groups.length; i++) {
perms.push(AdminGroupsSettings.Groups.get(groups[i].email));
}
return perms;
}
