I think you're understating this potential breach in law. This isn't a local law of some city in the world - it is a state law in the country these companies were founded in.

And it isn't some odd law that the company would easily forget about - FB and Google both get their revenue from advertising, and political advertising disclosure laws are pretty common. While Washington might have some stricter rules, I'd expect the companies to have a division working on compliance.
It doesn't assume that - it assumes that if it's bad when the federal government gets involved with something, it's equally bad when the state government gets involved.

For instance, this thread is about a state pursuing large tech companies on what can be described as free speech violations.

But I've never seen anyone argue that it's okay for a state government to ban free speech, but it's not okay for the federal government.
Only the interest was deductible with several caveats. It was only about 25% of the interest, there is a max mortgage amount, and there is an income phase out. The new tax law limits state and local tax deduction to $10K.
Yes, but your current employer doesn't turn around and sell that info to any medium-to-high bidder. They also have a well defined and legitimate reason to use such data.
> fairly obvious that user privacy is utmost important

No, it's not obvious. Society has many competing priorities.

Further, the definition of privacy changes rapidly.
This will always be the case as long as advertising is the core business model.

Social media is best suited to that kind of business model - and most people won’t pay for a subscription.

So social media is broke?
What does that have to do with its lack of support for a particular API being anti-competitive? On the contrary, it’s giving Android (or other future mobile platforms) a vector to distinguish itself.

They were far from being profitable.

I don't think it can. The AT&T breakup worked, because even then, if you had a phone number, you could contact anyone else with a phone number, even if they weren't an AT&T customer. Facebook, and the other social media silos, are built with anti-compatibility as an explicit goal. That, coupled with Metcalfe's law, means that any upstart will never be able to directly compete with Facebook (or another social network) on it's ground.
I for one don’t understand how or why anyone would presume anything they do on Facebook is private.

I’ve always considered what I enter as being given to Facebook rather than somehow mine despite being in Facebooks possession, on their drives in their servers. When I give it to Facebook, it’s theirs. If you don’t want something known I don’t give it to Facebook...

If I give my friend my phone number, that’s their knowledge, not mine. It makes no sense to demand they forget it. If they hand it out, they’re a bad friend. I don’t tell bad friends important secrets.
In fairness, it's the GPs fault on this occasion for not punctuating his or her post. Decarep just read the GPs post as it was literally written (I had to read it 3 times myself to gauge what I thought the post meant).
Just for example, my first gen TR has this guy on it[0], which is already spec'd for 300W.

I would think power delivery on existing motherboards only designed for 180W would be a bigger problem. But again, any board targeted at overclockers should already be prepared to handle at least 250W. The older boards will mostly just not support as much overclocking of the new, larger part.

Canadian Business Email List
I'm not sure why the OP is getting s%%t from the community. He built a simple application, probably out of love of software development. It is not complete or perfect. It is also probably not the best use of his business time. But we do waste time on other stuff too.

This CLI app could be useful to me for a subset of accounting I do. Yes, it won't be able to track VAT accounts. It won't amortize my expenses. But if I needed that for a critical business I'm running, I'd not use a hobby project.

The CLI is useful. Double Entry bookkeeping is useful but as things scale it gets very confusing even for the best of accountants. This program is simple and can give you a solution if you are looking for very simple bookkeeping.

Sounds pretty much exactly like an Epyc, but with half the memory channels disabled.

Seems kinda silly unless it's pretty cheap. After all the 7351P is $750, guarantees ECC, and has twice the memory bandwidth of the threadripper.
They’re not selling an API, and if (built in) support on virtually all desktops and about half of mobile devices in the US (higher elsewhere in the world) aren’t enough to keep Vulkan alive and well I’d be pretty shocked.

Vulkan wasn’t around when Metal started. Is it really their responsibility to kill their pre-existing API because an open one finally showed up?
I got 1st gen TR w/ 16 cores, coming from 2013 4-core Haswell Xeon, and I don't regret it at all.
It's only massive if you are doing it wrong. All examples I found so far were doing it wrong. For cperl (perl5 with classes and types) I did it right instead. It took about half a year, with most parts improving the rest of the system and signatures.
Ruby already has signatures, so thats out if the way.
Python eg did it completely wrong, PHP is doing it right.

The goal is catch type violations with optionally declared types and constant literals, and help the compiler and optimizer to specialize ops on types, and do array and loop bounds checks, essentially moving runtime checks to compile-time checks.
A good type checker should make overall code faster and safer, what you see out there are rudimentary and not scalable efforts to make it safer, but not faster.

It certainly looks like ocean boiling if you look at all the horribly bad efforts out there, comparable to pypy, unladen swallow, perl6, ...
But if you look at proper type checkers and optimizers it's trivial, really.

Anti-competitive tactics are only illegal for companies with monopoly positions. Google is far closer to that than Apple for phone operating systems, and would have a monopoly except for... Apple. Apple has something like 5-15% of the global phone market, which is nowhere near a monopoly, obviously.
I agree with the sentiment, but what’s sometimes overlooked is that the community around a technology is in many ways more important than the technology itself. Can I expect to find add-on libraries that help integrating with the rest of my technology stack? Will I find documentation, blog posts or StackOverflow answers that solve my specific edge case? How likely is it that I’ll be the very first person to encounter a critical bug, because no one else uses it at that scale?

Many of those signals are not easily faked, as Microsoft itself painfully learned when spending billions in an attempt to artificially prop up a developer community around Windows Phone. If, as the grandparent suggested, Service Fabric is losing out even internally at MS where they can apply management pressure in addition to marketing, that’s a very bad sign.
How smart cards are made. A four part series
SO many comments missing the entire point in reply to this!

It's like none have noticed all processors, even gaming centric ones, come with a bunch of cores these days. Athlon dual core is not exactly a recent innovation, it's archaeology. So all the trivia and "yeah but..."

+ Gaming and a few other tasks mostly do not benefit from more cores and tend to be extremely GHz dependent. Thanks to massive GPU parallelisation we're left mainly CPU bound.

+ Even gaming pitched "Extreme" SKUs are disappointing from a GHz PoV

+ We haven't been in MS-DOS mode or had problems serving 120 OS background processes for a very, very long time indeed.

+ Power and heat have still gone wildly up despite the switch to cores not GHz

So, processor manufacturers hopped off the GHz race for well known reasons. We're now a decade on from that and GHz is about the same like they have stopped thinking about GHz entirely.

It's not unreasonable to have hoped to have hit 5GHz without wildly unrepresentative cheats hidden under the desk, or that they would have kept at least a few percent of their research chasing some more Hz as well as cores.
That design is so awkward and clumsy I've never seen it used in production code. Worse, the user has to manually repeat the array length in the function call, a prime defect attracter.

7351P is the 16-core Epyc part. The comparable Epyc part is the 32-core 7551P, at $2317 (Newegg).

There is definitely differentiation between the server line of chips and the TR "HEDT" chips, other than the crippled memory channels.

The TR4 socket sacrifices half of the SP3 memory channels to use for more power.

As a result, TR models come with (much) higher stock clocks: 3.0 GHz base -> 3.4 GHz all-core turbo vs Epyc 7551P 2.0 GHz base -> 2.55 GHz all core.

So all in all, TR may be better for your workflow than Epyc even at the same core count and price (if clock matters more to you than memory bandwidth). And keep in mind, server boards aren't free.
So much of the value of the company is tied to Elon Musk's vision. If you think he's going to fail in bringing about that vision, then you should think the correct value of the company is much lower. In which case, you shouldn't have enough of a stake to vote Elon out.

THE AMERICAN NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH CLANDESTINE HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS
This argument is repeated so often today that it seems like the latest FB talking point. It's whataboutism yet again - who cares if someone else is doing wrong? 'There are other rapists too' is not an accepted plea in court. The argument also is disingenuous for several other reasons:

First, [EDIT: this point has many flaws and is too complex to state succinctly, so I'm pulling it]

Much more importantly: The problem isn't who I need to trust, it's that Facebook is deliberately capturing and distributing large quantities of user data, and in addition they are giving it to some exceptionally unsavory people that are doing great harm to the world, including damaging the foundations of democracy and civil society.

Finally, it's disingenuous because few other companies have the power and data of Facebook. Why does Facebook get more attention than other violators? Is that a serious question?

EDIT: And finally finally, the argument overlooks the fact that security is defense in depth. Just because some other component isn't secure doesn't mean you shouldn't secure this one.
Same for some SEA countries (Malaysia & Singapore), whatsapp (some includes other popular messaging apps such as WeChat, FB messenger) messages/calls does not count toward your data usage for most telcos and it is the main way people communicate, Whatsapp basically replaced SMS there when it was launched.
MI forcing notifications without ability to disable them
Hi HN,

If you are planning to buy a Mi phone, don't. Stay away from it.

They don't care about customer experience. They are pushing notifications from their app store and themes app and don't allow users to disable it.

The phone is good but the data they collect and the bad notification experience is just not worth it.

Don't go for the phone.

Here is a screenshot of the forced notification http://i.imgur.com/hhh51jD.jpg

This goes to show that they don't care about the user.
"Wang allowed quality inspectors, company cooks and cleaners to subscribe for shares at a negligible cost based on their position and years of service."

I detect a certain resentment in this piece, as though only execs should get to share in company fortunes. To me, the only fair way to distribute the spoils is for all the workers (and execs) to own a stake, pretty much based on the formula above, maybe additionally modified for "level of contribution, impact etc".

Of course there's then the wider question of how wealth should be distributed through society, when janitors in successful companies are making more than phD's in failing ones, but it seems not less fair than the current system of "millionare execs" and everyone else can race to the bottom for "market-rate pay".
you keep quoting things out of context here, did you bother reading the entire thing? men have more at the extremes (more dumber and smarter) than women so only picking the smartest will lead to more men than women, here's the whole section ====>

Higher variance among men

Among most psychological characteristics, including IQ, populations of men have higher variance than women even when the average is the same: there are more men on both the top and the bottom of the curve.

This may lead to more male CEOs and geniuses, but also more homeless males and school dropouts. This has likely evolved because individual males can have many children and are biologically disposable: populations are reproductively constrained by the number of its women, not men. The historically higher variance of outcome can also be seen in our genetics; we have twice as many female ancestors as male ancestors. As a corollary, if Googlers are only from the top of the curve, then this may cause us to have more men than other, less selective, tech companies.
Apple is not a monopoly, even google is not a monopoly. facebook is. Fb is either buying or using its reach to enter into other markets. Messaging, videos (youtube), stories (snapchat), crowd sourcing (gofundme), marketplace (offerup). In all these it is using its existing dominance in one market to enter into other which is classical case of antitrust.
AAA studios, within the last couple years, yeah. But it was certainly the general trend until quite recently, and lower budget games may still be very single threaded on the CPU.

Also, many games that do utilize multiple CPU cores do not scale well beyond about 4-6 cores (which makes a lot of sense given the CPUs most gamers have and the priorities of the studios).
You're right to be shocked about the NYT calling for the breakup of facebook, but I think your a bit off on the 'why'. I say you're right to be shocked because Facebook is run by a person who some on the left were previously calling to make a presidential run, who was previously a shining beacon to the world's left-dominated media (including the NYT) ... so yeah, it's kind of shocking to see how quickly they've turned on Zuckerberg and Facebook.

The real story of 'why' the about face has to do with Cambridge Analytica, though. Many in the media still feel that the election 'should' have gone the other way (regardless of how people actually voted), and now they blame FB/Zuck. The irony is that in 2008 Obama's team did all of the same things that Trump's did. The media was OK with it then (in fact, celebrated it) because it was for their side.
Thank you for the answer, despite the sometimes chilly HN climate around pluralism. I hope you’re right, that’s definitely a plausible scenario.
Interactive introduction to 'Attractor Landscape'
You're in a bubble.

I quit Facebook on principle but I'm suffering for it. I'm trying to meet new people, strengthen friendships, get out more, etc. Literally everyone I know except for one person does eventing and communicating on Facebook, so that's pretty rough.

Facebook's network effect should not be underestimated.
I always thought digital license plates would be privacy controls against ALPR. You could thwart casual trackers by displaying a rolling code that only police could link to a specific vehicle registration, ideally generating an audit trail along the way. Or skip plates entirely and do a cryptographic challenge/response with a transponder. Updating registration stickers is such a weird non-problem to solve. They could've done that server-side years ago.

Your comment exactly misses the point of GPL!

If I, as an upstream developer, license my library in GPL, it is exactly because I don't want any random developer to use my library and don't pass on the same freedom to end users. I intentionally want anyone using my library to be in the same freedom sphere (for lack of a better word).

If you think this as problematic/cancerous then it's a pity. This license was designed to retain freedom of software users.

But a post on Facebook looks different from a post on Twitter. Could they really share? Could you write a regulation where it makes sense that they're different?

Maybe you could. Twitter and Tumblr seem to be about the same modulo the length. Isn't the advantage of Twitter its shortness? Maybe we'd discover what the advantage of Twitter is.

And perhaps Facebook is the same just with better networking features. Maybe we should try to write federated Facebook and Twitter clones to prove it can be done.
Useful Tips for Bisexuals to Find a Threesome Partner
I have been toying with this theory for a while: Media outlets (NYT, WSJ, etc.) have been seeing their business and influence become increasingly beholden to the whims of social network algorithms.
