>Your chances of dying before "making it big" and retiring are somewhere in the 1-in-10 range.

I'd like to see how you came to this conclusion.

Painting with broad strokes, one can retire after working in tech for 15-25 years. Start at 25 and they are done by 50. Current death rates for dying between 25 and 50 are less than 0.7% [0]; that's not even correcting for the fact that the wealthy likely have a reduced mortality rate [1].

Berkeley is an exception. Most state schools do not offer nearly that level of aid. If you are upper middle class (i.e. parents make $70Ksh-$150ksh), and you don't have exceptional grades, you will pay the sticker price and you will leave school with $20k-$75k of debt. That is before adjusting for the rapidly rising price of college which will no doubt continue rising at 7%-10% per year over that 4 year period.
The YouTube links thing is an interesting point. I wonder if that’s how Facebook’s decision to be a walled garden will come back to them. They prevented other sites from indexing and linking to content, but as a result there’s not as much organic traffic into Facebook to reactivate lapsed users. They planned for growth which will hurt their decline.

The walled garden will continue being lucrative though. Especially if they win VR.
> am i a dork??

The first step is acceptance.
Not new, and not helpful in my opinion. For a bunch of reasons, including Goodhart's/Campbell's Law (look em up), and http://prospect.org/article/state-debate-lessons-right-wing-...
In this case maybe, but in general they have been blatantly non compliant from the very start. Why even bother with the privacy theatre?
You build a better cashless society. We don’t go back to pre-PLC controlled industrial era just because they can be (and have been) attacked.

4chan is paid for by its users through the 4chan pass and through advertisers, both companies and individuals. It is most likely barely more than solvent or losing money. 4chan's funding isn't a secret that needs to be investigated.
FTFA: Whether there will be two private browsing modes is to be determined.
I see what you mean. But minorities always just "ignore it" - but that doesn't mean it doesn't affect them. It's how folks are frequently taught to cope. Even if you're staying in more of the "safe" boards, I imagine you're always worried that someone you're interacting with doesn't.
That is what they just announced.
Yes, that's actually very interesting to me, since I've never heard that from anyone before.
Do you happen to have a small secluded place for a homeboard? Are you /jp/ or something like that?

I've noticed over the years that the bigger a board grows (see /b/, /pol/, /v/) the worst the quality and serious discussion gets, and the more funposting there is.

Every year people complain that their boards are getting worse, part of it is just those people growing older, but the other part is the community becoming larger, different, and noticeably more mainstream.
I don’t live anywhere near these, sadly. Near the end of the article, the author mentioned passing cyclists then being passed again due to the differing accelerations and top speeds. Sounds like it isn’t an issue to slow acceleration to avoid being a nuisance in the bike lane with Bird, at least?
Not every black user of 4chan is North American though, I assume it doesn't affect them because they post there regularily. Israelis also routinely post there despite it being a cesspool of anti-semitism. Again it's akin to discord chat groups. There's racist chat groups run by neo-nazis and there's moderated groups that ban for racism.

There was also that Shia LeBouf incident, where black and hispanic members of /pol/ from NYC showed up to disrupt his political performance art thing he was live streaming. These people exist, contrary to our political assumptions, the world is a stange place.
It's on the font page of HN so clearly it works
I think the problem there is that they have to form a coalition. (I think this is because the coalition elects the leader of government, but I'm not certain of that.)

But what if the parties didn't have to form a coalition? What if they, as individual legislators, just voted on bills? Then you'd have to write a bill that could peel away some votes from some members of some parties other than your own. For a bill to pass, it would have to be a good enough bill that you could sell it to people outside your party. That's not such a bad thing...

Unless all the parties maintain strict party discipline. I think that increasing party discipline is one of the problems that is making Congress so dysfunctional. But hopefully, if you had more than two parties in Congress, not all of them would have strict party discipline.
TMND is rarely mentioned in these discussions on HN, and I think that's a shame. Despite being a bit over 20 years old, it's a fascinating study of documented high net worth individuals. They also do a good job of contrasting high net worth and high income.
Your proposed solution gives companies zero incentive to minimize data collected, and even incentivizes them to make fulfilling such a request as convoluted and expensive as possible.

What people online love to call "common sense solutions" are usually not solutions a all.
No, just asking why it would be good. The claim was that it's so good that it's worth increased corruption.
I'm reminded of the Upton Sinclair quote: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"
My First Job in Tech
Not necessarily; it only takes a one-vote margin to pass legislation in the House.

Quite a lot of House races are on "auto pilot", politically--that is, there's not much suspense about which party's candidate is likely to win. This is in part because of gerrymandering that produces districts favorable to one party vs another.

Tiny districts would be like gerrymandering on steroids. It wouldn't take much fancy geometry to produce a map in which the vast majority of House races remain easily predictable. And it is the marginal (unpredictable) races that atract the bulk of the big spending.
This is one of the reasons why every frequent traveller should carry credit cards from at least two different banks and two different credit card companies (like Mastercard and Visa).
PayPal acquires AI-based merchant marketing outfit Jetlore
Yeah, so you register on the site, press next, your registration is successful, meanwhile a pop up was initiated which contains t&cs and acceptance confirmation. Using your estimate, 3-9% of bonuses were accepted, and needed to be paid to the new customer. It’s a dark pattern
GDPR requires you to make that kind of information available.
passive income is not a good way to get rich. It's taxed a much higher rate than capital gains.

probably should amended to create vehicle that gives off passive income, then sell the vehicle's future cashflows for better tax treatment.

It’s technically possible, and not that hard, to implement a voice-based interface for that, using e.g. Bluetooth + car stereo.

You setup your preferences while the vehicle is not moving to filter the offers you want to receive, by criteria like price/km, geography, min. total price.
Then the software uses voice interface to read you the incoming offers, and listens to your “accept/decline” voice commands.

People learning Linux find it confusing. They ask what root is and understand the concept of root of the file system. Then I say there is a user called root which confuses them. Then a group root only root is in it when the user root is created. But the two root words are not two groups one is the owner root (who is user root) it isn't the group.
“Exactly. But if someone else would set your price with your clients, and your only options would be to agree to the price or quit the job, I would probably say you’re an employee”

-This is actually precisely how about a third of my contracts worked. And reviews by my firm’s lawyers+theirs made sure it was legit.

There’s a bunch of case law on this and tons of companies with this as their business mode (eg, FedEx). It will be interesting to see how this settles out though. I know FedEx has been through a lot of lawsuits and Microsoft famously lost and had a bunch of contractors reclassified as employees.
I guess my comment was a sign of Julia moving to the big leagues now. Expectations are high :)
That's because the Netherlands had real biking infrastructure. In the US everything is design expecting people will take a car to travel any distance more than one block, especially in the suburbs where you even might find yourself without a sidewalk at times.
Well, maybe not group membership, but certainly there is a 'root' to the tree of permissions and capabilities, and I think it's true that some of them derive from more basic capabilities.

If each capability (cross the namespace or object to which it is applied, for non-global capabilities) is a leaf, then the global capability itself is a branch from which all of those leaves have sprouted, and the set of all capabilities live in a tree...

There is Root at the base of the trunk uniting all of the branches.
I'm not so sure - how do you make sure the cost isn't so high that it deters people with legitimate reasons to request their data, but also high enough to actually cover the cost of obtaining it? I would expect that those are two very different amounts.
More people feel comfortable riding scooters than bikes. There’s a stigma around “I can’t ride a bike”. There’s also less regulation on dumping scooters than on bikes. ;)
I don't know how much stock I would put in this being indicative of our society's views on gender. Notably, you point out that there is no male analog for "foolish woman", but we're all familiar with the foolish man trope (Joey from friends, Phil from Modern Family, Tim from Home Improvement, Ron Burgundy from Anchror Man, etc etc).

Note: I shouldn't have to point out that I'm _not_ saying our society is fair and just with respect to gender, but I know a lot of people will try and twist my words, so hopefully this disclaimer heads off a lot of unnecessary tangents.
Does anyone happen to know why e-lisp iterators stop on a magic `iter-end-of-sequence` instead of on `nil`? That doesn't seem Lispy.
The opening paragraphs of this article really remind me of the film Contagion, which IIRC tried to portray a pandemic hitting the current world as realistically as possible.

Interestingly, that solution would motivate the rich less than it would motivate the poor.

How? It's a legitimate extension of the previous thought. If it is viewed as evil to develop instruments that would kill people, is it also evil to use those instruments to kill people? Likewise, if no one developed instruments to kill people, the military would be an ineffective organization at the task that it's responsible for, and thus would the organization also be considered evil?
Yep, let forums comes back. They died mostly because phpBB was an absolute mess.

When young in my career, which was finance/banking, my 'Head' (as was the organisational naming structure) sent an email re-forwarding and re-emphasining data retention policy.

I was inclined to never delete an email rather than comply with 'your inbox should not exceed 500MB'. That was 50 emails a day then, my inbox now exceeds 500MB on a daily basis.

Sure, you can save archive locally or on a shared drive.

But the key idea... we don't want customer data because of liability. If we're storing it for a specific purpose, be that regulatory reporting or clearly defined analytics, fine.

Before the term 'big data', simply 'lots of data' sounded nice.

But don't let it hang around. At some point it will be a liability. You're serving customers. The key part of this is keeping their data safe. Not having it anymore (or having it in an non-accessible lock-away auto-delete repisitory for legal purposes) is more than good enough, to properly store and manage it is what's better.
Cisco shipped some hardware which incorrectly used 1.1.1.1 as an internal interface. The long-term fix will be those networks being correctly configured but that may not happen until that hardware is EOLed.

In the meantime, have you tried adding other addresses such as 1.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8, or 9.9.9.9 to see whether the fallback works?

Your analogy would be valid if someone had previously claimed that the single most effective way to end poverty is to prevent the poor from having children. Then one could explore the logical conclusions of their advice.
Newer buildings have a "trash room" of course, but mountains of garbage in the street in busier areas are still the norm in some places, on collection days.

Why would anyone posting on an anonymous imageboard be worried about people making negative comments towards them, anonymously? Your fellow anonymous users only know about you what you choose to share in your posts, and unlike reddit or HN, you don't have a persistent identity.
The european debit card systems are not comparable with how it works in the US. In the US I will use credit cards, because that is the better system down there. Over here in Europe, I'll hardly ever use a credit card.

So yes, luckily.
As ever the article starts at the end of the process not the beginning.

The job of politics is to bring about consensus. If you don't get consensus prior to a vote, then all of the candidates that could have done a deal ahead of the election suffer.

Under a first past the post system, the job of the candidates is to horse trade so that there are only two candidates at the election.

First past the post works because it is simple, understandable and it forces politicians to do the deals ahead of the election - or suffer the consequences of being ignored entirely.

Politicians and researchers hate it, because they want to trade for their favourite hobby horses after an election when they no longer have to suffer the scrutiny of the electorate and can use minority positions to drive forward change that would never get anywhere in a consensus system.

About the only improvement to a FPTP system you need is a 'none of the above' option, so that everybody on the list can be rejected.

Dark patterns only need to work some of the time. However putting important terms, conditions and acceptance into an unreliable pop up certainly works if you don’t really want your customer to see it or accept it
