> Is it fair for the opponent to have that information?

I'm parsing "fair" in the form of: imagine two societies, one where such information is private the other where it's public. Who outperforms?

Would the number of start-ups which cave because an incumbent snipes their marketing outweigh the number who could piggyback on an incumbent's revealed slicing? (The latter, by marketing to the same customers better or noticing who is being left out.) Will consumers see more advertising or less? If more, will they respond to the deluge by defaulting to the incumbent or trying new options more frequently?

I don't know. But we have an opportunity to find out. If this drives innovation, I'd say a case is to be made to open up these data across advertising platforms. Who knows. Maybe it's the tool to pry apart Facebook and Google's stranglehold.

>> As the GP said, there are people who are drunk, high, smelling of bodily fluids, etc. There are people who are rude, loud, etc.

Excuse me, but- where does that happen?

I mention in another comment that I live in a town in England, where I've never had any problems with homeless people in public transport. I also work in London, travel by rail across Europe and often use public transport in three different European countries, France, Italy and Greece. I have never noticed the kind of problem you and the GP flag up.

I'm getting the feeling that it's a problem local to a very specific part of the world and by no means a global issue that has to do with the nature of public transport, in general.
I wish that you could buy a simple computer where all processing is integrated. The cores form a pyramid with a few really fast ones on top and tons and tons of slow ones below. All is exposed, with no speculation, in a very low level raw API. All abstractions like speculation etc are layers on top ala vulkan

You're quite right, stephengillie. Corruption in the US is as bad as China. That means there is no point in the Chinese trying to get China as clean as the US is portrayed as being. It also means that US citizens should stop supporting their government. The world would be a much better place if the Chinese stopped criticizing their government, and the Americans stopped supporting theirs.
I guess this means we must be mortal enemies!

Honestly though, as William Wrigley Jr once wrote, "When two men always agree, one of them is unnecessary." I have one friend that I disagree with about literally everything, and I respect him a lot because every discussion we have is thoughtful, and my ideas and beliefs are better for having discussed them with him.

Anyways, your political bent is probably based on what types of posts you've read or liked, or even who has liked your comments, even if they were apolitical.
I, too, am intrigued; what bothers you about "lets"?!
You bought a billboard before launching on HN? Not sure if very impressed or very confused.
Having a lot of land doesn't change the fact that no matter how much land you have, there is still a place everyone wants to be. You could have a million new houses built in Idaho and it wouldn't make a dent of difference to the LA housing market.

The US real estate market is built like it can go infinitely wide, but the real world demand and price structures show the reality that density matters.

as both someone who's been in the mobile location industry (having headed an R&D center specifically focused on real-time location for mobile devices), and is an avid pokemon go player (and thus Niantic customer), I don't expect them to have anything close to their demos until a year after launch, and even then in extreme beta.

that said, it's almost time for me to do another 1km walk to try to eek out 400m of "egg distance" in pokemon go.
Yes, terms authored by an entity are often more beneficial to that entity. That doesn't make them "coercive". Don't do business with them and you'll be fine. Credit monitoring companies are nothing like the mafia. They won't come break your legs if you don't play ball with them.

Of course you're concerned. People that can't or won't manage to be responsible for themselves are always concerned that others don't agree with them. It threatens to hamper that carefree way of life.

Have spent 5+ years working professionally on homelessness, this is something I can agree with.

We all want to "fix" the problem of homeless people misusing public transportation, but at least 10-20% of the homeless people I have worked with wouldn't even agree that a problem exists.

I want to add resources to "fix" the problem, but first you have to get all parties to agree that their is a problem to fix. There is a ton of grey area, and we don't talk about Hobo's anymore like we did in the 60's. But many people choose homelessness.
Or because the IRCd written in 90s-style C++ by some people who honestly don’t know what they’re doing segfaulted, or because you accidentally K-lined 0.0.0.0/32, or because you accidentally filled up the disk with logs because the server’s maintainer was fired and nobody remembers how the system works, or the latest system update borked something, or a failure to update the system allowed someone to attack your network, or the really hacky mechanism you use to enable auth against Active Directory broke or allowed a disabled user to log in, or...

There’s a lot more that can go wrong than that a database falls over. In my experience, IRC servers fall over all the time - it’s just that nobody really cares because their clients just connect to the next server in the list and people resume their conversations a minute later after figuring out what messages actually reached their destination.

Paying IRCCloud to manage an IRC server for you is a reasonable option, but I wouldn’t do it because I think it’s going to be more available, but because I like IRC and believe it provides the functionality I need.

Not in the US. You can go off and try to start a hobby farm in state/national forests or a hidden corner of someone's 10,000 acre ranch, and you might even get away with it for a while, but you're not free to do it.
I would say it's impossible to know unless you actually run and operate the exchange(s) through which they ran all of their 'sales'. The exchanges are often complicit in listing these coins and make money from a fee which they demand in order to list and promote them. the exchanges hold all of the real power in cryptocurrency, and there are only a handful of them.

Sort of...but that area's huge. The Salt Lake City-Provo-Orem combined census area spans ten counties. Two million people over 25,000 square miles (For comparison, Rhode Island is one million people over 1,200 sq mi.)

Presumably, city planning happens at the city level.

Considering the new townhouses and apartments that I see, that would mildly surprise me.

True. I still maintain that most Americans do (and prefer to) live in single-family residences, and that brings certain requirements for city planning.
Interesting. Niantic has done a really poor job managing Pokemon Go and Ingress though.

> Abstinence isn't considered a means of prevention because telling people "be abstinent" doesn't work. We have the data to prove it.

Huh? There is evidence that abstinence-only works better than nothing. See, e.g., https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/...

The model-estimated probability of ever having sexual
intercourse by the 24-month follow-up was 33.5% in the
abstinence-only intervention and 48.5% in the control group.
Fewer abstinence-only intervention participants (20.6%) than
control participants (29.0%) reported having coitus in the
previous 3 months during the follow-up period (RR, 0.94; 95%
CI, 0.90-0.99).

And condoms have a failure rate, too, both in actual use and in adherence.

Abstinence-only sucks because it has comparatively poor efficacy, and because teaching abstinence is not mutually exclusive with other approaches.

There is no pre-programmed amount of sex people have to have. Promiscuity in the U.S. is dramatically lower today than it was 30 or 40 years ago.
I'm liking the idea but I just can't see how we can get anywhere close to the current size and aesthetics of the current stuff we have. Being modular and standard leaves you much less ability to optimistic to the most compact and cheap design. Desktops have this kind of modular design and they are huge and mostly full of empty space. I think it would be very hard to design a laptop using standard modules without everyone just building the exact same laptop.

Personally, I loved Windows Mobile. I have a Lumia in my pocket right now. And before that, I had a 900.

Microsoft tried and failed to bring a credible 3rd alternative against Android/iOS duopoly. Could they have done differently? Yes. With the current leadership, I think they may have not hesitated to push meego, if only as a 4th alternative. But Windows Mobile was great software, Nokia had great hardware, and they still failed, so I'm not sure it would have changed much. (I know my opinion will is not popular here, but I just don't believe purchasing Nokia for billions just to kill one linux platform passes Occam's Razor)

I still hope Microsoft or someone else tries again to launch a 3rd platform, because I don't exactly feel comfortable with duopolies or monopolies.
Being from(ish) vermont, there are lots of companies in diverse fields and there are a number of jobs available, the only issue is that the market is rather illiquid and slow to respond to sudden shifts. If you want to grow a company at a reasonable (not silicon valley reasonable) speed it's a great area to find employees with low cost-of-living overhead and a pretty high median skill rate. The issue is more that if your company does really well and needs to hire 200 people to keep up with demand then you're going to be waiting a long time for people to filter into the market.

This also sadly relates to the skill chafe that happens with new graduates from universities every year, a bunch of people are competing for moderately few open positions in the spring/summer, then companies have trouble hiring if they need people in the fall/winter.

But hey, VT is pretty sweet, so thanks for standing up for us!
>2. Do what you’re good at not what you love

This...just after I finished school I got to do something I thought was my goal throughout school and was something I loved. Turns out it just made me start disliking the things I used to like about it and honestly I didn't put the effort in I should have. Now I do something that I not only never knew existed before I started, but was never something I thought I would be doing or would enjoy, let alone be good at.

Personally I prefer my current situation, working a job i'm good at where my contributions matter and are appreciated to when when I worked my 'dream job' and my contributions, while useful, could have probably been done better by someone else.

Surely the solution then isn’t more housing for them, but more mental health services for them? Treating drug addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal one might not hurt either. From my time in America I was amazed to see how little option there is for people who are mentally ill, and not rich. The “solution” embraced seems to be the streets, or jails.

Of course that leads to massive social decay.

He's not the first to come along to receive this kind of attention and even accolades from the general public, and naturally from other climbers who sometimes do this, or would like to...including, I suppose, me.

Most of the ones that did receive a degree of fame from this activity, and got filmed, on TV, and whatnot are now dead.

As a climber myself who sometimes freesolos even up to 400 meters "off the deck" I don't see it as bad. What is stupid as fuck, however, is doing this 'on demand' for TV and film crews, and otherwise making a thing out of it at all.

Sure, go out and do your thing quietly, why not? But the only way he can continue to garner publicity (and let's be clear: money) is to push the limits more and more each time. There is only one way that can go...

Will National Geographic put that on TV, when he 'craters' (as we say) and blood, brains, and chips of bone splatter across the rocks? If they are responsible they will, because by doing this stuff on TV he and they are publicizing only the "glory" side of it, never mind all the people, some quite famous, that did fucking crater...

So, while I do think he has achieved some great feats, I don't like what he is doing for the reasons I just spelled out. And I don't think he will last long. Those "chewing gum" edges do snap off, bats and birds do shit slimy shits on required small edges, thunderstorms and hail storms and even snowstorms in the middle of the summer can come out of the blue sky in minutes in the mountains, and many other things can go wrong, including human error...and needless to say, human error is very frequently preceded by ego and pride....it would be very hard for someone to stay absolutely humble when the whole world is cheering him on and calling him "World's Greatest"....
What always seemed odd to me in such a wasteful society as the US: counting pills. Really? In many countries you get blisters. No counting. I suspect in some European countries it would actually be illegal to do this.

The disadvantage is that there are some leftover pills most of the time. E.g. you need 30 pills and there are only units of 20 available.

From memory, I really don't think so. I just checked the photos of both and I'm sure I would not only tell them apart, but also tell you which one is which, despite of me not owning any iPhone with that design nor Galaxy SII ever in my life. There are plenty of distinct shapes and features on both devices that it's quite hard to confuse them - and that's only speaking about its front side, as soon as you look from a different angle or take one to your hand, it becomes impossible to make a mistake.

I have no idea about packaging, chargers and connectors though. Those may be copied, I don't know. The device itself is distinctively samsungy though. I really don't think that "if you covered rounded edges, you would have hard time telling Openmoko Neo1973 (its design actually came earlier) and Apple iPhone apart" is a sound argument.

Correct, you're not allowed to trespass on other peoples' properties. If you want to farm or live off the land you need to first have value, then make money, then buy land. It's a pretty straightforward process. It does not require sending data to Equifax, so I'm not sure what your point is.

It's funny, I find this attitude a lot with guys over 35.

A quick example: I was at a conference last year in a group. Two people mentioned they worked for google.

I mentioned an anecdote - how I had migrated parts of a research project from google maps to bing maps, because of a much better pricing for the simple things we needed (yet in a large volume, millions of API requests).

They asked why, and I explained that besides the money saved, like a few friends, I tried to favor any credible alternative to google.

They laughed it out with some arrogance :-)

It's funny how the google of now reminds me of the Microsoft of the 1990s - a scary company I'd rather have nothing to do with.

>Critics of China’s social credit system say it is an Orwellian tool of social monitoring and political repression; but the Chinese government says it is a way of boosting administrative efficiency and encouraging trust and moral behaviour by its citizens.

This is so sad. China is such bad shape on matters like trust and moral behavior that the government has to resort to these sorts of extreme measures.

The problem is this will likely just backfire over the long term. The more expression is suppressed, then the less real information about facts and people's views is available to the government, and so the government makes worse and worse decisions. Just watch this happen in the coming years and decades.

Having a single monetary policy for countries as different as Spain and Germany, with no real shared fiscal policy, is a direct contributor to this malaise.

If they had separate currencies, Spain could inflate away a lot of their debt. This would cause a bunch of pain for your average Spaniard, but it would also mean that Spain's currency devaluation could drastically help its exports (and of course one of Southern Europe's most valuable "exports" is tourism). A direct consequence of being on the Euro is exactly what you point out: labor isn't really cheap enough to be competitive.
