FB and Google are the only ones pushing the industry forward. The huge amount of data and computing power is what brings these researchers, its not all about money. In the long run the scientific advancements from these companies is a much higher positive than the negatives they have in the present.
We're not talking about Android v1, we're talking about Android now and all that's been invested in it.

The 'complexity' of Linux is not relevant - it's a part of the underlying platform, in much the same way that it is in so many other products.

Competitive manufacturers, mobile OS makers etc. all have access to the same Linux that Google does.

Google has invested massively in Android, it's a product of theirs.

If they can't 'bundle' whilst giving it away for free, their going to justify their investment by locking it up and selling it for money.
This is a case where a snarky reply is unneeded, and you could simply do some basic research.

It looks like there is official permission in London to exhume some graves for re-use after 75 years, and it's generally accepted that a grave is only owned for a 100 years (that seems to come from the Burial Act of 1857 in the UK).

In general it seems that yes, given sufficient time, the tricky legal problems of exhuming become quite a bit more simple.

The current approach seems to work so far against China though.

1.) S&P 500 up 5.3%, shanghai composite down 15.7% http://www.talkmarkets.com/content/us-markets/china-and-us-d...

2.) Yuan falls 1 year low vs dollar, losing 7% since 1st quarter https://www.reuters.com/article/china-stocks-hongkong-close/...

3.) China has 33.3 billion yuan ($4.9 billion) in corporate bond defaults so far this year, already exceeds the full-year record of 30 billion yuan, set in 2016. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-19/why-china...

4.) Chinese manufacturing slowed in June as exports weakened http://www.startribune.com/surveys-show-chinese-manufacturin...

also, it does look like each country/block is setting its own tariffs against China

The European Union will impose import tariff quotas of 25% on a number of steel products https://www.marketwatch.com/story/eu-to-impose-tariff-quotas...

I'm curious as to what you don't like about Windows 10. I'm in the opposite boat where I'm pretty fond of Windows but have to use a Mac at work and absolutely despise it. No quarter tiling, cmd-tab groups windows and has no option not to, the difference in shortcuts due to a non-standard keyboard, etc. Even the touchpad that everyone likes so much lacks several very basic features (such as triple tap to middle click) that can't be added without paying for a fix. The only things that are annoying about 10 are the spying and the forced updates in my experience. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

> how is it that state employees (Washington, California) are "co-employed" by an organization to do _exactly_ the research that their home universities work on

They will work part-time for the university, and part-time for Facebook. I don't see why that's so shocking? Presumably the university only funds them part-time for part-time work, so it's not like they're not getting what they're paying for if that's what you're asking. This is a very conventional set up for academics.

This is totally incorrect.

I'd say the mainstream media and their talking-head opinion-pieces masquerading as news did as much if not more to hurt their image.

I don't think mainstream media masquerades opinion pieces as news. I think the public at large, vis-a-vis confirmation bias, just wants to believe anything they agree with is true and miscategorizes these stories on their own.

The Economist, CNN, MSNBC, NPR at least are all clear about what's news and what's opinion.
Thank you. The Marvel movies aren't deep philosophical treatises, but they are fun, enjoyable movies that do have some substance. And that's the most important thing here: They are fun and exciting. They precisely capture what made the Marvel comic books so great in their golden age of the 60s, 70s and into the 80s. Gaudy colors, over the top action, boldly drawn characters. This is pulp entertainment at its best. If I want to be challenged I can (and do) read a book. If I want escapism, I'll watch a Marvel movie.

Yes, they are on the surface summer popcorn fluff movies, but there's plenty of room for that in a society that relentlessly wants to deconstruct and subvert everything good and wholesome about our society.
It seems like they rejected OSM because they couldn't directly use the OSM site to serve tiles, but would instead need to host their own infrastructure for it. I understand that, but for us we decided to go ahead and own it.

> The concept of citizenship and passports always seemed so archaic to me.

My understanding is that passports are really only about 100 years old, coming into existence (or being required, anyway) during the Great War.

> But just hypothetically, if I want to grab a bike, ride to some isolated forest in France, build a cabin and live the hermit life, I can not to that. I'd be forcefully removed and placed back into my designated space.

It's actually kind of the opposite: it's not that nowhere else will accept you; rather, it's that your country must accept you. It's kinda like family, one definition of which is that your family are those who, if you show up at their door, they have to take you in.

What doesn't make sense to me is dual (or treble) citizenship. My country is my country; I could renounce my citizenship and swear allegiance to another, but it doesn't make sense to be to be a citizen of two different countries. How can one bear equal allegiance to two?

Well, the list does not tell you which income you pay taxes on.

The US is unusual (perhaps unique) in that most rich countries don't ask you to pay taxes on your worldwide income.

So if you have a lot of passive income -- almost the definition of rich -- then you would prefer England or Canada over the US.

Someone might make a comparison of London and Vancouver real estate but there are so many other factors that I am not sure that is useful, but it might be indicative.

i can see why you would think that based on the language, but it was very contextual.

it was fedora vs ubuntu - gnome, wayland and systemd had their equivalents in ubuntu (unity, mir and upstart) which lost the battle. Ubuntu then adopted the winners.

My experience with private aviation suggests that getting somewhere exactly when they want, flying into airports closer to their destination, stepping directly out of/into ground transportation and, to a lesser extent, having privacy en route are significant drivers for the private aviation crowd.

Cessna is killing the X, the fastest civilian airplane, in favor of slower airplanes. I'm not convinced that supersonic transport to/from major airports is going to threaten business/private jet aviation.
There's a lot of stuff going on. Depending on which rust you used, we didn't do a lot of dead code elimination by default, and the default settings don't optimize for size. The 100 byte thing is the "add two numbers" function, but you have to do a few things.

See here: https://rustwasm.github.io/book/game-of-life/code-size.html

In the future, it will do more of the right things by default, but for now, you have to do some configuration if you want the tiniest possible binary. Early days!
We have to remove incentives for holding / renting property. I think it’s Germany that taxes the shit out of you if the owner doesn’t live in the residence. This would immediately rid the United States of all of these “investment property” owners and people buying up houses to rent with million dollar cash offers to diversify their portfolio. The stock of available homes would go up. This would also lead to the sale of any prop (?) houses being held onto indefinitely because of cheap taxes that are being rented out to fund their life actually living somewhere else. It would cut down on vacation property ownership, which again increases housing stock. It would cut down on career AirBnB-ing.

The downsides are a decrease in rental stock, and potentially less investment in any given property since a landlord is no longer maintaining it. I feel like we could find some easy fixes here with things like tax rebates for non-cosmetic home improvements.
However, blowing up a bomb on a cruising plane will probably kill everyone. Blowing up a bomb on a cruising train will probably not - many people will be far from the blast and derailing trains are more survivable than planes breaking up at altitude.
I have a choice, I can live in a walkable place, but it involves tradeoffs that I don't care to make - because I don't see car ownership (or driving) as a negative thing, unlike this echo chamber.
#4 has introduced an interesting problem in the MMO space.

The responses from the game companies have been absolutely pathetic so far. They amount to "Blah blah blah, bbbbbut marketing!!" No apologies for what they were doing, just "sorry we got caught". No shame at all, and no recognition that they were shipping malware to their customers. Some have promised to remove it but find some other way of using my computer against their users. My computer is not a free resource for your marketing department.

If the software is so benign, offer it to users as totally optional install or a separate download, and see how many agree to that offer.

EDIT: For example, see the official response from the Quake Champions team [1]. Summary: This data vacuum is actually for your own good. That said, we’re busted! So we will remove it for now, and we will tell you about it when we add it later, when everyone chills out.

noun

software that enables a user to obtain covert information about another's computer activities by transmitting data covertly from their hard drive.

While they may not be selling the data for malicious purposes, it is, by definition, spyware.

True, though the inability to do transcontinental flights exacerbated this by effectively eliminating any hope of recovering development costs or achieving any other economies of scale.

Noise around airports was also a very contentious issue - low-bypass jet engines and, especially, the use of afterburners on the takeoff roll. This will become an issue again even if the sonic boom problem is solved. Smaller aircraft may be quieter, but they are unlikely to be welcome at airports that cater primarily to business jets, if they are any louder than those in use now - and the trend is towards quieter.

Ask HN: What is the best job title for someone managing project processes?
Hi, HN! So I was hired by a small and relatively new company in a small city in Germany primarily as an Application Developer. However, I noticed that the project I was assigned to was not using proper project implementation or software engineering processes, practices, and/or procedures. Since I was familiar with these, I ended up being assigned a new role ("Product Owner for Processes") on top of my development job. Basically, I establish and implement new processes for the project, and make sure everyone is following them along the way.

My probation period is now ending and I requested for my contract to be amended to reflect my additional role. They said yes, and they even asked me which title would I like to have. Unfortunately, I am not really familiar with this topic so I was hoping I can get opinions from you. Thank you in advance!
Apple Supports Malala Fund Expansion in Latin America
Completely agree with this.

I see Facebook as the least ethical, and least useful from a civilization standpoint of all the big tech firms.

Google is driven by the same ad-clicking incentives, but the one-tricky pony has been developing other extremely societally useful tech, like self-driving cars and other moonshot projects.

Apple and Microsoft sell products, they do not make users the product (on the whole). Together they pioneered computing revolutions, and I'm confident history will judge them for making a positive contribution (on the whole).

Amazon is a leviathan whose societal value I find more difficult to classify, but I genuinely derive lots of value from their service personally. It's good for my lifestyle.

Facebook on the other hand, is a waste of my time, mental energy and a drain on society. As an academic, how can you turn your mind to furthering its goals?
Point of order: Your bank told Google (and likely anyone else who is auto-billing your card) that your CC# or Expiration Date changed. Google did not solicit this information from the bank on your behalf.

Further Point of order: This is likely Visa (cc issuer) taking this action (in accordance with the terms of your agreement with them, no doubt) and not your bank.

as sgdesign said, you can write your own resolver function (which allows you to retrieve a particular field deep in the nested graph of graphql). It's very easy to create decorators to handle the usual permission cased on the field level.
