How many "years ago" are we talking about here? The 1950s? You know how much corporate-type legal teams bill per hour, right? Several hundred dollars per hour. And there are filing fees, marshal fees for the serving, and probably all manner of paperwork that piles up that someone has to deal with, yet more expense.

I have been served myself, by the way. They do not leave papers at a house. Legally serving someone means the papers must be given directly to the person, and if that person refuses to take them, left at their feet (literally). That is the definition.

The hospital situation might have been a small town hospital using Small Claims court or something, but even still, the expenses involved would not make it worthwhile for a lousy grand.

I'm not trying to call you a liar or anything, astura, but you are either talking about a very long time ago, or you are somehow mistaken about the nature of these events. And as far as "serving" goes, I don't think that has changed pretty much forever.

Who's upset, anyways? I don't care what businesses do. If Wells (the article wasn't about AMEX, by the way) doesn't want peoples business, screw 'em. I'm sure someone out there will happily give credit to people with the right job and other credentials.

Credit card companies mint money, as do most banks. They rarely lose or go out of business, do they? That's why I'm so suspicious about their motivation here. They happily loan money to college kids (who buy mostly beer, junk food, and spring break flights to Cancun with it), they happily let people use their cards at liquor stores, and the majority allow for cash advances (note that their are always ATM machines in casinos and strip clubs and bars and nightclubs, too). You don't think this is just a little bit weird, huh?
The fact that these diseases have not been totally eradicated does not prove that herd immunity is ineffective. On the contrary, these small outbreaks, as opposed to full-on plagues, show just how effective vaccination has been.

As for the "choice a child actually has"... wtf? You cannot have a meaningful discussion with an 18 month old child about the pros and cons of vaccination. You can barely have a meaningful conversation about eating carrots. Doctors vaccinate at that age because it saves lives.

I'm old enough to predate the MMR vaccine. I had mumps as a kid. It was awful. I still remember it, the pain, the not being able to open my mouth to eat. If my parents could have vaccinated me for that and failed, and I found out as an adult, I'd have been furious with them for exposing me to that suffering, not grateful for the choice.
Maybe instead of NASA, the money could come from the war budget instead? [1]

Breaking Down the Perfect Sign Up Flow
Personally I don't disagree with the notion of taking huge risks and going all out. Tesla and SpaceX have made the world a better place in my view, and they've definitely made the world more interesting.

That said, the overhyping, recklessness and hubris at this stage on the Tesla front seems like instead of helping achieve the wildly ambitious goal, they're making it more likely to fail. If Tesla was slightly more reasonable, and extended their timelines out a bit, it's entirely likely they'd be selling more, better cars.

At some point the company needs to mature a bit and become a little more structured, especially when you're dealing with devices that can literally kill people. I don't think at this stage they'd be less likely to hit their marks if they just got a little more down to earth, on the contrary I think it would help them.

And like it or not, a fund manager can be risky because they're making dozens of bets. Musk has 2, and both are in areas that can directly harm people if things go sideways, it's not the same thing.
I definitely see this from inside the VC industry: half of the investors I meet think this category is dumb and doesn't have moats, and the other half have FOMO and want to bet on the space in case an Uber- or Lyft-sized company emerges from it. A 3% chance at a $50b company makes an investment decision rational even at crazy early stage valuations.
Lets look at technologies Google has captured then adversely affected either the adoption or implementation thereof.

* Google Reader and RSS

* Google Talk and Jabber

* Gmail and self-hosted mail (not exclusively Google, but one of the big mail senders)

The post's point was not that this is malicious, it's about what happens in big corporations with big ideas, big roadmaps and big reorgs. The fact that this has happened quite a few times is unsurprising.
> I would have preferred promulgating a set of standards to be GDPR compliant, and allowing companies the option to choose whether to conform.

EU countries had data protection laws for years before GDPR. Moreover, GDPR is only partially more strict than the existing Swedish data protection laws. I cannot name a single company that gave a damn about these laws.

That's why GDPR, even with all it's ambiguities, is a good thing.
I never understood the fanboyism on HN. Tesla builds electric cars with a subpar autopilot. They are nice cars but it's far from revolutionary. Tesla is not SpaceX.

Tesla is not Apple, the car industry is not Nokia. Many people on HN seem to be confused here. I do think SpaceX should be renamed Tesla though, it would help selling Tesla cars.
IIRC, US schools are phasing out whole milk in favor of skim chocolate milk, based on the old "fat bad carbs okay" theory.
You should fear ATT & Verizon much much more.
I've got a nephew-to-be in Israel who's a really picky eater, and his parents resort to bribing him sugar to get him to eat healthier stuff.

But, like, the kid is demonstrably underweight for his age, shorter than all his classmates, etc. So I don't know if just starving him is the right call either. Some people (you) get lucky and don't have to make the decision, but sometimes it actually is hard to get kids to eat.
How many lines of business is Tesla in? What lines of business are these cuts concentrated in?

Lacking the above info, it could very well be the move of a company concentrating resources on a full-scale ramp effort and pruning back non-core or non-scaling lines of business.
> How does this even make sense ?

Google is highly influential in how information is consumed and distributed. People use chrome to browse web, google search for searching information etc. If they have major control over how information is distributed, they have major control over the web. Ofcourse there are other similar services that are not provided by Google, but they are very less influential due to lack of users.

> You should be scared of walled gardens displacing the web.

What if web becomes a walled garden ? Look at what Google did with DRM[1], even Mozilla had to give up their efforts to fight against it[2]. How could that be possible without having a major influence over the web ?

Show HN: Smart Assistant with IBM Watson and Chatengine Using React
GCC moved it to <optional> with the release of GCC7.
Note that we're now at GCC8, clang 4 added it - I believe we're now at clang 6.

Therefore, it's by far no longer something that's experimental IMHO. (standardised in C++17 after all)
Early Modern Memes: The Reuse and Recycling of Woodcuts in 17th-Century England
We need a micropayment system so I can donate a dime or a dollar to an article or info site I like. Seems like something the US government should do to improve peoples lives and promote commerce. They are the controllers of the US dollar after all.

Then someone needs to set up a search engine that has the option of only returning sites that are controlled by an individual person, not a corp or non-profit or other group. I would be interesting to see how that might work.
Elon musk is probably thinking in the reverse order as you ?
humanity, community, employees
I would generally agree, but on HN? With people hyping as much Uber for hairbrush type products that will "change the world" Tesla and SpaceX hype is fairly warranted.
I think it might go deeper than just the engineers, although we are definitely a large part of it. The basic issue is that most companies don't compensate employees for compentently building software.

Technical debt is always a future managers problem so it's both, never worked on and preventing it is never seen as a big accomplishment when evaluating an engineer.

Secondly managers are people and people like flashy things. When someone says they built the website in vanilla js because it works and we won't need something more complicated for years, the manager isn't going to get that excited or remember when raise time comes around. If the engineer says they rewrote an application from [legacy language] to some hip new language that the manager has heard about from their peers in other companies who are also rewriting their applications, it's going to stick in the managers head when they are rating their employees.

You get what you pay for and modern companies are paying for semi working but flashy software more than they pay for solid but boring software
Con of startups, these are the people you might end up working for.

What's good for your personal growth was other people trying to make a living at a company being run by people who don't know what they are doing. Maybe it's fine, but that level of uncertainty is definitely a con.
Gravit designer (designer.io) is a graphics app (photo, illustration, vector stuff) running performantly in The browser. It's a great example of how good a web app can be.

Many web apps I find terrible and I'm sure it uses a bunch more resources than it would need to, but it runs on my FOSS operating system of choice and really works quite well.
Tesla has zero impact on the world right now. And probably never will.
This was indeed discovered because as per GPDR, they had to specify why they were using the mic and GPS. As soon as the update hit the store (after the GPDR entered into effect) and some users saw the changelog and user permission requests disclosing this use, it started to hit the news here in Spain.

The Spanish regulator, AEPD, has stated that preliminary steps to begin an official investigation are being conducted already: https://twitter.com/AEPD_es/status/1006115567227559936

For those who understand Spanish, here's a good technical analysis: https://reversecodes.wordpress.com/2018/06/12/analizando-la-...
Also given they're having trouble with that manufacturing output, I can't imagine firing those people would help things out. AFAIK there's no such thing has the "reverse mythical man month" - removing people from a late running project speeds it up.
It's unflagged in firefox nightlies. Edge needs to get with the picture but really they are the only one out at this point. The polyfils, while not ideal, work great and shouldn't be needed much longer. The mobile story here is actually quite strong, since all major mobile platforms have full support for it.
There's a lot of similarities, as they are both peer-to-peer and decentralized.

I've mostly done Dat. I want to do a bit more IPFS.

Dat feels a bit more like git for files - you can create a local file archive using the command line tools, and it's a separate step to sync it to the peer-to-peer network. There's a global discovery service for advertising archive keys, but it doesn't work at the level of single files. It's very lightweight.

IPFS supports many of the same operations, but you're mostly interacting with a local gateway server which is continuously connected to the network. I believe IPFS tries to content hash every single file so they are de-duplicated globally.
* therapy visits when i can get them in

* being on a regular schedule of waking up/going to bed

* at least half an hour of some form of exercise per day, outside preferably.

* * seasonal depression especially can kick your ass hard, so if you live in a northern area like me where you get no sunlight in the wintry months take vitamin d supplements or get a happy lamp.

* a good support system of friends, family, and professionals to support me

and last but not least:

* venlafaxine (effexor) er, 150mg/day.

moral of the story is don't be afraid to take meds or go get help. sometimes you don't even realize just how down in the ditch you are until you get up and out for the first time in a long time.
What do you mean? That's the way journalism works. "Don't think about salaries or dollar figures, think about the exposure you'll be getting!"
Just as additional info to others, this is how Ada, Modula-2 and Modula-3 generics kind of work.
I played around with the scooters in San Jose during WWDC last week, and I have to say that I preferred the Bird ones. While the Lime ones did have a faster top speed, they were also slower to accelerate. When driving on the sidewalks there's a lot of slowing down, so getting back up to speed quickly is more important in my opinion. Plus ~12mph is fast enough IMO, it feels dangerous to go much faster than that.
Haxe 4.0.0-preview.4 is released
While true, I think this sentiment is vastly overstated. For the typical American eating the typical American diet, obesity is one of the biggest risks. It's right up there with smoking, except smoking is getting less popular and obesity is getting more popular.

Let's clear one thing up first: aside from a few issues like joint stress, it's not weight in general that's the problem; it's body fat. If you're a power athlete with significant muscle mass, you're going to be able to carry a lot of weight and still be perfectly healthy as long as it's lean weight. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shouldn't worry about his weight, despite having a BMI that's technically in the obese category. If you have a high weight for your height and you don't look like a professional wrestler, you should definitely be concerned about your weight.

Aside from the problems caused directly by excess body fat, carrying around excess body fat also makes it far more difficult and far riskier to exercise, which means all your other health indicators are going to go down south. Even mental health is pretty strongly influenced by exercise. Also, excess body fat is a far more difficult problem to solve.
That's kind of weird, right? If you're charging a percentage of wages, it doesn't make a difference if the employer or employee pays it.
Sure - if the underlying hypothesis that it's the plasticity that makes ketamine effective is true, these things also promote plasticity so it's worth looking into. Speculative news articles like this though mostly serve to have people debate and form opinions well before evidence is presented, though, as is what is happening in this thread.

There's a very long road between showing that these drugs promote neuritogenesis and proving their clinical effectiveness.
Or like a combination of Playboy's non-pictural literature with Spy magazine's insider snark.
I dunno... I'm beginning to think HN sees this as hype=overhype.

On failing... thats unconsciounable. Of any place, this should be the site where we don't hate on failure. Failure is a definitive property of risk. Risk is the one thing that makes Musk unique, at the scale he's acting on. He puts everything on the line for a chance at an ambitious goal. This is exactly the ethic I come to this site for.
Some questions:

- Does the research have to be funded solely by California, or is the requirement also for research partly funded by California?

- Do researchers have to manually take action a year after publication, or can they deposit it now and tell the repository when to make it public?

- Do researchers have to take action in the first place, or will the deposit happen automatically by publishers?

All in all, it's clearly a step forward, though I wouldn't call it "leading the way" - at least not internationally. The embargo period is a shame (whether it's six or twelve months), and it being in some state-provided repository rather than at the primary point of publication really harms discovery and hence its usefulness (though tools like Unpaywall [0] help). In short, it doesn't tick all the right Open Access boxes [1], but at least it doesn't let perfect be the enemy of the good.

The actual statement from La Liga is in spanish, I translated it with DeepL [1] here:

>Privacy policy of the LaLiga app.

>Regarding the new privacy policy of the LaLiga app, we would like to make some clarifications.

>Origin

>LaLiga has the responsibility to protect clubs and their fans from fraud in the broadcasting of football matches by public institutions (HORECA). These fraudulent activities represent an estimated annual loss of 150 million euros for Spanish football, which translates into direct damage to clubs, operators and fans, among others.

>For this reason, LaLiga has implemented a new functionality in its official app with the sole purpose of detecting these fraudulent exploitations, transparently informing about them and asking users for their express and specific consent, with or without their being able to lend it freely.

>This new functionality for fraud detection is enabled in the app since last Friday, June 8, 2018, only for Android system users and nationally*.

>Functioning

>When a user downloads or updates the APP, the operating system of your mobile device will prompt them through a pop-up window to provide their consent for LaLiga to activate the microphone and geopositioning of their mobile device. Only if you decide to accept it, the microphone will pick up the binary code from audio clips, for the sole purpose of knowing if you are watching football matches played by LaLiga teams, but the content of the recording will never be accessible.

>We protect user privacy

>LaLiga has implemented appropriate technical measures to protect your privacy if you authorize us to use this feature. These measures are detailed below:

>LaLiga will only activate the microphone and geopositioning of the mobile device during the time slots of matches in which LaLiga teams compete.

>LaLiga does not access the audio fragments picked up by the device's microphone, as they are automatically converted into binary code on the device itself. LaLiga only accesses this binary code, which is irreversible and does not allow you to obtain the audio recording again.

>If this code matches a previous control code, LaLiga may know that you are watching a particular match. If it does not match, the code is removed.

>The codes will not refer to your name, but to your IP address and the specific ID assigned by the PPP when you register.

>We will periodically remind you that LaLiga may activate your microphone and geo-positioning and ask you to confirm your consent.

>You can revoke your consent at any time in the mobile device settings.

It's an extremely hard problem. Much harder than you'd think. Just spotting a known "thing" in an image is often a research problem; doing any generic image is much harder.
Sorry. I corrected my comment.

Can you uncensor it ?

Besides there is no "name calling" against the author of the post.
Out of the 4 major browsers, 2 major browser vendors have support for the base stuff, 1 has it behind a flag being tested ready to be turned on, and 1 doesn't have any support yet...

That's pretty far from "not happening"
Interestingly, I see this from the exact opposite view. I'm surprised it's taken this long for the rubber to meet the road. Tesla sells the most electric vehicles, but it's hardly the sort of delta you describe ("extremely ambitious goals, like none of their competitors do"). Nissan and Tesla both hit the 300,000 car mark in January/February of 2018. And let's not forget the recent NTSB report, which revealed that "Autopilot" is just a better-marketed version of the lane-keeping everyone else is doing.

As to SpaceX--it's an extremely interesting attempt to tread a well-worn path. Commercial exploitation of space travel is a really neat concept. But again your comparison is completely unmoored from reality. SpaceX disappearing will "hurt our changes of landing people on other worlds anytime soon?" Who exactly do you think got us into space, then to the moon? Who is responsible for almost all the progress in space exploration to date, including developing the RP-1 based rocket designs that SpaceX is refining half a century later? It was U.S. defense contractors! It's worth keeping in mind that the Saturn V developed by Boeing/NAA/Douglas in the 1960s could hurl three times as much weight to the moon as the Falcon Heavy. To date, the only proven model for treading new ground in space is large defense contractors spending gobs of State money.

The real question is: why does Tesla/SpaceX generate so much sophomoric positivity?
I work in the area, and I don't consider the Yahoo set to be the main benchmarks for evaluating streaming frameworks. As a field, we don't have an agreed-upon set. I think a better place to start from are the DEBS Grand Challenges: http://debs.org/grand-challenges/

> Is it a political play?

Given that it's mathematically impossible for BTC to succeed until they change their POW, this doesn't make sense as a political play. Most likely Sequoia is just paying for BTC in advance to get a deeper discount than they'd normally get for buying in volume. It's also possible that they're just selling the BTC as they go and hoping for a short payback period, but while this makes sense financially it's unclear how it would relate to their overall portfolio strategy.

> The broadcasting of football matches in public places without a paid licence cost the game an estimated 150 million euros (£132m; $177m) a year, it said.

Sounds suspiciously familiar to the way questionable data have been represented about money lost due to piracy in other industries (software, movies, music). I am very skeptical about those types of claims.
Why can't we? Simple. Psychologists refuse to recreate it. They refuse to prove that anything would ever be different. I really find the example of the dude 'faking' and trying to get out of the study an insanely poor choice to try to undermine its credibility. Prisoners, brace yourself for this shocker, don't want to be in prison. That makes it a more legitimate test, not less. If you could make sure every single person participating was missing out on some critical part of their life, and they would go to great lengths to try to escape, that would be an effective experiment of what prison would be like if not filled with criminals but average people under the same pressures.
Reducing the risk of depression does not mean eliminating it. In medicine, 0% and 100% don't exist.

I think there's some truth to this. I get a very different "high" after a session of lifting heavy vs 90 minutes of running or cycling. I feel like with weight lifting I get more a testosterone high and much less of an endorphin high.
