> Packaging should be required to be as literally minimal as actually possible

It would be interesting to approach this as requiring all elements of a product not intended to be used as a part of the product to be composed of materials which all fall within the came category of recyclables so that they do not have to be separated.
Yeah, I figure you all know that :) I just think calling it "forgery" / "fraudulent" makes it sound like a Git/GitHub vulnerability. It's a feature that depends on trust and goodwill, and the fact that trust can be abused isn't interesting.

For instance, if I wrote "Hey HN, one of the creators here" when I'm not, people wouldn't call that "HN comment forgery" - they'd just call it regular lying.
New York Becomes the City That Never Shuts Up
Agreed. While I get the fear of interacting with strangers, I’ve never gotten more than mild annoyance from someone when I actually do it. I have never felt like I was overstepping bounds—people rarely mind being spoken to with respect, even if they don’t respond and engage.

Camaraderie is harder, and making jokes others don’t like can be stigmatizing. I wonder if one’s culture of informality is just less assumably universal than it has been in the recent past. I also wonder if living in a city can desensitize you to how exhausting it can be to invest in a social interaction with no clear payoff.

The country being so politically polarized isn't helping. It's to the point where most only want to socialize with people in the same "tribe". For better or worse.
What other fitness equipment manufacturer has cashflow not tied to equipment sales?
Just this morning Japan overtook China as the number two stock market in the world. Also, with the US interest rate going up and trade wars, money is flowing out of emerging markets back to stable economies. In this case, the Japanese savings that left Japan 25 years ago can start to come back to Japan. That capital inflow might start to help Japan with some inflationary pressure. Especially if Japan’s plan to allow 500,000 foreign workers this year. Japan has also been importing foreign workers for years now.

We talk about Japan as if it’s dying sometimes, but when you visit Japan, it is amazing how high of quality they all live in. Great food of all cuisine, clean streets, easy transportation, high tech buildings, friendly population, and most recently, cheap food and lodgings.

You don't need drugs to have an independent understanding that seems to be nonsensical to others. Just think a lot, mostly alone, think about what everyone says, think about everything you can read and find anywhere, and try to grasp some crystal clear understanding, but by the time you think you have it - gone - trying to explain the process to someone.

Actual studying. I'd say it's next to impossible to have a complete understanding about anything. You can always think you have the full understanding, but that's just very specific to whatever test or goal post designed for you, or you design for yourself.

Technically, it is the same "problem" as falsely writing "this proofs P = NP" into the commit message. It's just free text, you can put whatever you want there (as long as the email address is formatted correctly, I guess).

For a bit more context, this was recently discussed a LOT with the Cambridge Analytica Facebook scandal.

The issue being that if you text me, and I give that to Facebook, does facebook have the right to ask me for permission to give it to a 4th party? Should facebook be required to give you that information if you don't have a facebook account and request it?

HackerNews in a nutshell.
In an interview [1], Tim Sweeney, Epic Games CEO, addressed why they opted to bypass Google Play:

GamesBeat: Do you see a reason not to put it on Google Play right now? Is that something that would happen in the future?

Sweeney: There are two reasons for what we’re doing. First, we want to have a direct relationship with our customers wherever we can. On open platforms like PC and Android, it’s possible for them to get the software direct from us. We can be in contact with them and not have a third-party distributor in between.

The second motivation is the economics of the store ecosystem as it exists right now. There’s typically a 30/70 split, and from the 70 percent, the developer pays all the costs of developing the game, operating it, marketing it, acquiring users and everything else. For most developers that eats up the majority of their revenue. We’re trying to make our software available to users in as economically efficient a way as possible. That means distributing the software directly to them, taking payment through Mastercard, Visa, Paypal, and other options, and not having a store take 30 percent.

If you look at it, the stores on the smartphone platforms actually do very little. They’ll put ads up in front of your game. When you search for Fortnite on iOS you’ll often get PUBG or Minecraft ads. Whoever bought that ad in front of us is the top result when searching for Fortnite. It’s just a bad experience. Why not just make the game available direct to users, instead of having the store get between us and our customers and inject all kinds of cruft like that? It’s a general criticism I have of the smartphone platforms right now.

I think the increased efficiency brought by technology produced an ever faster pace in work, social life, and just about everything else. It takes time to talk and connect with another person which is getting harder to come by. Most of the time, you're getting swept away doing work, looking at a post that just showed up, reading the latest tweet by the president, etc.
This is very true. Many sites and services seem to have deliberately misinterpreted the legal text. I hope a high profile target will be taken to court over this, to establish a cautionary precedent. It just hasn’t happened yet.
Paper only doesn't make sense to recycle if you externalize a lot of the costs.

For example, what if we had to pay to put something in the garbage ... as we ultimately pay China?

Is it too abstract to suggest that it's merely one business model incorporating proven features of another business model?

Video games are not fundamentally different here, I think you might be looking through the wrong end of the telescope. People who use a thing paying money for more features of that thing.
I fundamentally disagree. Ethical consumption is a cop-out, especially for those who have means (most people on this site).

Real integrity comes from ethical production. Place your time and skills towards companies and projects that at the very least do not make the world worse. And if you can't do that, I do not think you get to get on a soap box and talk about how great you are because you shop for local produce, eat vegan, and drive an electric car.

Everyone is as evil as their most sociopathic executive, you both contribute to the same bottom line but the employee sells out for less.

Yes. I wish there were more casual acceptance for “ray tracing” as essentially light computation via ray intersections, rather than the assumption that it means “naive ray tracing” or “direct lighting ray tracing”.
No, of course not. "We are having coordination meeting at <insert reasinable time and place>" announcement is already fine. Just starting standup when everyone is in office even if he disagree is fine too.

The time and place here seem juuuuust coincide with time and place he is least likely to be at. Standups are not supposed to be passive aggresive way to enforce early coming to work either (most coders have flexible time, your process should honor that) nor are they supposed to prevent you to have breakfast with familly or alone in home.

And yes, if collegue does nor know info he needs for work, I would tell it to him even if he clearly missed it by his own mistake. I would also tell him that he don't know info because he ignores meetings he should be at. Transparency and open discussion, basically.

Otherwise said, you solve it like any other disagreement over something that requires coordination.
There is an episode of Hidden Brain which touches on this subject, though I don't remember if it mentions any sort of measured differences between men and women. Either way, it is a neat discussion on the topic.

If Spotify didn't give you all data with your first request I guess that they are in breach of GDPR?
Random fact: Richard Stallman may have been spurred to start the GNU Project due to the fact that he could not easily modify the source code of a printer.
This is one of the issues in personal data and privacy that I think we're going to have to acknowledge and confront some time very soon: often, data about an individual in isolation is less telling than data about that individual's relationships, but relationships always involve multiple parties. Right now, we've barely established a consensus on the ethical and legal principles of a relationship between a single data subject and a second party using data about them.

The big social networks have amassed their huge databases not only through information volunteered by individual members, but also by co-opting people who know those individuals (or just happened to be nearby) to provide more. For example, every time a social network's mobile app uploads an address book from someone I know when they install on their new phone, and consequently that social network knows my name and contact details, they have potentially violated my privacy with neither my knowledge nor consent. With the advent of ubiquitous devices with cameras, microphones, network connectivity, GPS and other sensors, and at the same time the developments in automatic recognition technologies based on photos, audio or video footage, the risks of exploiting network effects to gather data on unwilling subjects have increased dramatically.

I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect every person I've ever shared my contact details with or anyone who ever took a photo with me in the background to understand the implications of their devices and the software they run on them. In any case, there are going to be difficult ethical questions about balancing the rights and freedoms of multiple parties.

However, I am quite sure it's fair to require businesses on the scale of Facebook to understand the basic situation and at least not to retain or use personal data for any longer than is necessary. The GDPR and similar proposals starting to appear elsewhere are clearly trying to enshrine something like that principle in law, but everything I have seen so far suggests that the biggest data hoarders are paying lip service but still trying to get away with anything they can.

And you didn't even make a point. Lobbying requires power, and efficient technology gives you that power. It's no accident that those who embrace technology always have more power than those who don't.
It's super easy to learn for people with programming experience limited excel macros and the like, not to mention the huge number of tutorials, books etc.

I've been steadily working towards trash collecting robots for several years now, ever since hearing about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. After the initial shock wore off I thought to myself, "hey, free resources."

The initial challenge was finding a secure OS to run on the robots so they wouldn't be suborned into a (physical) botnet. That proved challenging, as the only way you can trust your system is to prove it correct from the metal up. In order to be able to trust the proof you have to be able to understand symbolic logic. It turns out there's a simple notation that makes this easy[1] and which makes for a simple SAT solver. Combined with a logical-paradigm reasoning engine (i.e. Prolog or miniKanren or Coq, etc... There are a few to choose from these days) you can describe and compile e.g. a trustworthy OS and application code for a swarm robot distributed over the ocean. (I'm just at that point now. It's been slow going, I lead a chaotic life.)

In the meantime the NN/ML renaissance hit and now a lot of what would have been hairy problems are already solved. I had thought to have some sort of volunteer "Mechanical Turk" network of humans to help sort the trash, but very effective sorting machines have become available in just the last few years.

There are (at least) two major method of recycling plastic: Thermal depolymerization[2] which uses heat and pressure to turn it back into a kind of oil-like slurry; and Molten Salt Oxidation[3] which oxidizes (burns) molecules (not just plastic) within a red-hot bath of molten salt. This latter process can handle pretty much anything, it's used to dispose of munitions including chemical weapons. It's also exothermic, you can get power out. It also makes a good atomic reactor.

There's another option that could be called "divide and conquer". What makes something a piece of "trash" rather than a building material? Uniformity of shape and material. Consider the "timbrel vault"[4]. The basic idea is to subdivide a piece of trash until it's more-or-less "pure" (glass, paper, plastic, whatever), record the shapes of the individual pieces, and then assemble them (by machine) into larger structures and glue them together. Because you would have precise control over the fine structure of the composite material output you could build non-linear structures (i.e. that bend or compress in one direction but are stiff in others, etc.) or reinforce weaker or more brittle materials with stronger bits.

All this to say: "waste" is another word for "resource". Change your perspective and you change your level of wealth. And it's getting exponentially cheaper and easier to apply automated intelligence to rearrange the "waste" into useful forms! From this POV, China has done US a favor.

Time restricted eating is probably the most compatible with weight lifting.

Personally I'm interested in longer fasts but I'm under my goal weight. I would also be interested in more research about how to gain muscle while fasting.
Fearing oppression is not a bad thing and I strongly believe that we must be careful to recognize intelligent life in many forms and afford all such life equal terms* (where possible).

Science fiction writers and probably more academic thinkers have probed at how compatible 'alien' life is with existing life. The ethical and practical balancing acts and ability for different forms of life to peacefully co-exist (or at least recognize that it isn't possible and amicably remain outside of the best environments for other life).

I believe there would be less to fear if it were more clear that everyone of all types of 'being someone' had equal standing and a place that they enjoyed being within society.
I will admit that GitHub formats the commit in a way where it looks like the commit author may have been verified in some way (because it's linked to a GitHub account, and approximately no other type of online service permits posting things from an account without actually being from that account - the PGP keyservers are the only other one I can think of!), and the content of commit messages don't look like they're endorsed by GitHub.

I'm not sure if there's an easy way in the UI to demonstrate unverified/verified, though. Even a small broken-lock icon would imply that something is wrong when it's not really wrong, it's just common practice for this to be entirely based on trust.

Perhaps it would help to show the verified identity of the user who pushed the commit to GitHub alongside the unverified author?

Are users capable of playing the game the only users who will attempt to install it? "Fortnite for Android 7" sounds like something users will jump through hoops to install given they've already read something about hoops and Android 8.
I don't disagree at all... but I thought Juicero was our pets.com moment. Heck, I thought uber was our pets.com moment, as it was significantly more expensive than any taxi I'd ever taken. I'm still not convinced that my wifi-connected thermostat is actually saving me money over my previous ancient analog model, and that's significantly more useful still than so many other things crying out for my dollars. With each passing month, for each new startup promising us magic, I find myself wondering like Walter in the Big Lebowski if the whole world has in fact gone crazy.

But, the question might be - ok, so yeah, it's a crazy valuation and raise for what it is, but it is actually going to bring down the economy like we are all foreboding? If WeWork or Peloton or even Bitcoin slide into the ocean with their out of whack financials, is it going to make a difference for my portfolio and retirement? So long as the answer is no, well... good for these folks padding their own wallet then, I guess. I'll stick to a walk around the block or the old fashioned "analog" bike.
A precaution against this becoming a trend? There is no trend, there has been a massively huge tsunami wave and it's already passed through, and now the "Play Store" is a barren wasteland of utter crap loaded with ads and sending as much data as they managed to cajole you into agreeing for to a bunch of third parties. But every app is free!

30% was a lazy choice to begin with, and look at what it got them. It's not even the huge tax, the fact that your app will show up alongside a bunch of Fordnite and Fnortnite scams would be enough to scare me away.

That's the wrong analogy. The camera isn't some "security footage" in a random store, it's security footage from my own living room.

A better analogy is this: if i install a video camera in my home and pay a service to store and process that data (think nest cam), but that i'm paying monthly for, then that data should be mine. Stuff going on in my living room (aka my music listening habits) should be mine and i should have access to my habits and restrict others from using it if i want to.

Update: more importantly, without having access to data stored by any service, i can't make an informed decision as to whether the service is storing dubious information about myself that it shouldn't. Services can no longer hide the data they store about people.
