What does it even mean to be "owner" of personal data? "Ownership" is a term that's intentionally not used in privacy law, since it doesn't matter all that much.
I've been using your list for as long as it's been on by default in uBlock Origin. Facebook is the only other site I've ever hit the block on. LogRocket is such an obvious thing to block, they are selling tracking tools to "replay what users do on your site".

I'm glad this conversation came up. I have your list enable in Firefox Mobile/uBlock Origin too. logrocket.com is in the rule list, but it doesn't stop me from going to the site, or Facebook. I went to "wheniwork.com", one of the "great companies" trusting LogRocket, and it does block their references to logrocket.com. I'm guessing the FF mobile API doesn't allow site-level blocking so sties like Facebook and LogRocket can still run their invasive scripts on their own domains and I won't know about it, unless I find out some other way and remember not to go there. I'm going to have to go NoScript on mobile.
This is what I expected the optimization to be, except I'm still not sure that I understand the wording of "that match the columns to the right", I'd expect that to be "that match the columns to the left", after all, you're checking the existence of (1,* ), not of (* ,2) or (* ,3).
I agree that people should read the linked comments.
I did not find the the evidence to be as clear cut or damning as OP seems to think at all after reading through it.
Most claims are also put forward by a co founder of Private Internet Access. A direct competitor.
It's good for getting you started.

So you've become stuck. You pick something you know will be a quick job (e.g. do this one method, fix this one bug).

Then after a few podomoro you stop doing them as you get into the flow and get into the zone.
Ask HN: Downvotes on HN is killing me. How about you?
I've been thinking for a while what i hate about HN is that i feel restrained from commenting on posts because people have a tendency of downvoting you if they don't like what you have to say or if what you have to say is against their "ideology".

Are you guys bothered with this too?
> There was a time when the NSA was in the white hat business; securing networks, identifying vulnerabilities and contributing to net sec projects. SELinux has been their most famous contribution. This all changed with the war on terrorism. Finding and exploiting vulnerabilities was the mission.

No, they've always had both roles. For instance, their experience and knowledge of advanced code-breaking techniques allowed them to strengthen the DES cipher's S-boxes in ways that weren't publicly understood until decades later.

>The deal movie pass offered theaters was "if you make a deal with us, we can help you raise revenues at a marginal loss." No sane business person wants that. The point of business is to make money not lose it.

Movie theaters don't make their margins on tickets sales, they make them on concession sales. The model of "lose a small amount on tickets sales, and make it up and then some on concession sales" is fundamentally sound. The ticket loses would get written off as a Cost of User Acquisition for the high profit concession items.

The theater market is just so consolidated that theaters learned they can cut out the middle man, movie pass, and still get the increased movie attendance. Hence, why so many chains started offering their own in-house subscription plan. It's really no different then almost every television content creator starting to cut Netflix/Hulu out by offering their own subscription service.
The Chinese have an active propaganda machine for decades which tells all Chinese people the world is out to get them. They have completely internalized that. This makes them defensive and nationalistic so they can defend whatever the state does to them.
I have to say, most Chinese don't know this crap till today. So nobody would say this is a fully homegrown web browser.

> the rise in pay inequality clearly coincides with the decline of unions.

You have it completely backwards. The rise in inequality coincides with the rise of unions, because unions favor cash profit sharing over equity.
Be honest, Wayland was created mostly by Intel and Samsung developers. So, "GNOME dev's dream" just isn't relevant here.
It seems as though there are two competing issues tied to pay inequality:

1) Increasing inequality of social power between the mega rich and the common person

2) A feeling of unfairness as business leaders take home the lions share of profits

#1 is a true issue, but, let's be honest here, the average CEO's level pay isn't contributing to increasing inequality. That McDonald's CEO had a yearly take home pay of 21.7m. That's unbelievable peanuts compared to the wealth of the mega-rich. It is the multi-billionaires flexing their political muscles and exerting influence that leads to the nasty consequences of pay inequality.

As to #2, I understand the unfairness, but fail to understand the social consequences of it. In other words - what harm to society is being done by a manager getting paid more than a line employee? You mentioned offshoring jobs, but that is a separate issue, not tied to pay inequality.
This feature list makes me think of Xpra. This uses X11, not wayland, though.

https://xpra.org/

"Xpra is an open-source multi-platform persistent remote display server and client for forwarding applications and desktop screens.

It gives you remote access to individual applications or full desktops.

On X11, it is also known as screen for X11: it allows you to run programs, usually on a remote host, direct their display to your local machine, and then to disconnect from these programs and reconnect from the same or another machine, without losing any state.

It can also be used to forward full desktops, from X11 servers, MS Windows, or Mac OS X.

Xpra also allows forwarding of sound, clipboard and printing services.

Sessions can be accessed over SSH, or password protected over plain TCP sockets with or without SSL.

Xpra is usable over reasonably slow links and does its best to adapt to changing network bandwidth constraints."

With the changing demographics in America, I doubt we will ever go back to the Trump style populism where if you’re not a White Evangelical straight Christian you aren’t a “true American”.

I’m Black, live in a town that was famously a “sundown town” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundown_town) up until the mid 80s and even here the demographics and mindsets are changing. We are still very much the minority but my son’s classmates and thier parents welcome him with open arms into thier homes.

True the county is overwhelmingly Republican but they are more Romney/Bush style Republicans thsn Trump populists.

The linked page says you can't compare suicide rates across countries.

For example, the UK statistics would tend to over count deaths. Here's the definition we use:

---begin

The National Statistics definition of suicide includes all deaths from intentional self-harm for persons aged 10 and over, and deaths where the intent was undetermined for those aged 15 and over. This definition was revised in January 2016 and further information on the impact can be found in the 2014 suicide registrations bulletin.

Deaths from an event of undetermined intent in 10 to 14 year-olds are not included because although for older teenagers and adults we assume that in these deaths the harm was self-inflicted, for younger children it is not clear whether this assumption is appropriate. Deaths from an event of undetermined intent cannot be applied to children due to the possibility that these deaths were caused by unverifiable accidents, neglect or abuse.

---end

I'm unable to find the definition used by the CDC, but I think it's likely to include language like "with the intent to end life".

> Maybe it was a bit of a cattle-call experience, but IBM is sorting through thousands of similar grads and needs some way to screen them for technical positions when many will have no professional history.

Respectfully, that's bullshit.

IBM has the money to hire enough people to conduct an actual recruitment process. Then again, I'm the type of person who refuses to work for any company that "process" can and should solve fundamentally human issues. If people are making it through the process with insufficient technical skills, then IBM might as well be setting their money on fire.

This is fraud, not a miscommunication between marketers and developers. China is known for fraudulent businessmen cheat out of a lot of money and ran to other countries. I believe this is a case of that.

One of the more interesting books I’d read was “Dream Hoarders”, which is about the top 20% setting up a system that prevents them or their children from ever leaving this top quintile. College in particular does more to protect low competency rich kids than it does to promote high competency poor kids, sadly.

As a tidbit from the book, most of the top 1% are actually a rotating cast of the top 20% having a good year (the ultra rich like the Kochs excepted). Most of the top quintile will get a year or two in the top 1% in their lifetimes. But once you focus on the top 20%, you start seeing a very stable clique that’s holding onto power.
Asking for explicit examples of an implicit bias is stupid.
In the US it is trivial to hijack any mobile number's SMS traffic. It takes less than a minute. SMS as 2FA should never ever be used by anyone.

/*

If I were an adviser to the conspiracy theorists' insidious world government, I would suggest that pressure on non-consenting opinions be put carefully, to securely remove them form the normal mass Web, but not too strong as to push the normal users away from the (controlled) Web, to harder-to-control media. One way to achieve this is to allow some mild fringe content, and actively demonize any serious non-consenters, so that they'd look way off the chart to general public, thus "worthy" of being censored out.

We had an Oracle position that needed to be filled. Headhunter supplied a candidate, we did a phone interview, then an in person interview. Not very technical from what I understand, just Oracle/DBA basics. He starts at our secondary location, and seems to struggle. Simple tasks don't get accomplished quickly, and more complex jobs are incomplete.

A few weeks go by, and our DBA manager visits the location, and realizes that the DBA is a completely different person than the one interviewed. Same ethnicity, but different person. He had apparently hired the interviewee to perform during the hiring process.

Took us over a month to get rid of him; it was hard to prove that he had acted fraudulently, and the wheels of justice grind slowly.

Between actual costs incurred and opportunity costs, it was a royal PITA. Weeding out these posers can be a problem.

Again, his first step of the process doesn't seem arduous at all. Inconvenient and possibly annoying? Sure. But arduous is the incorrect word choice.

When I was starting out, I had to interview at a headhunting company 2x. Then 2x interviews with the company I ended up at. I would have loved to be put up at a nice hotel during that process instead of having to drive all over meeting people.

IBM is clearly responding to fraudulent interviews, plus signaling two things; that they have enough applicants to impose silly video interview protocols, and that once past the "technical" interview, it's all about schmoozing and politics. These signals tell you a lot about a company.

> It disgusts me that the stuff is illegal while cigarettes and alcohol

Alcohol and cigarettes are not really comparable to MDMA, and I just wanted to make that point. Marijuana? Sure, in much the same category, probably safer. MDMA is a whole different class of chemical.
No. The risk is much lower, especially if different entities (upstream, linux distributions, ...) review the same code.

From what I understand, a big proponent in the revival (which was centered around the birth of the NES) was that Game Consoles were marketed more as toys than computers, right?

So instead of finding the NES next to your other PCs at the time, it was near the toy aisle?

I don't have a specific source for this, besides some memory of podcasts and articles touching on the topic throughout the years.

Anyone who maybe was able to witness the revival able to comment with their anecdotes?

How about we don't censor based on what is the most political palatable? Censorship via racism is especially slippery these days, should Sarah Jeong be censored or the NYT taken down for publishing articles written by a racist?
That is why I say both editions must be supported. The old and the new. But the thing is put a deprecated warning to the old so is possible to build a better new. This also will help to clean JS/CSS.
I went through a similar experience. About 10 years ago I was in a bit of a funk and depressed, anxious etc. and further I think I was in denial about the problem. I was almost completely unproductive for about 6 months.

Went out one weekend and had a mid-range dose of MDMA and with the afterglow in the days later I felt like a new person, complete with a spring in my step.

It felt like I had been hoarding a lot of useless stuff in my mind and never being comfortable in my head, while MDMA was the clear-out I needed.

I wouldn't advocate for each depressed or anxious person to try it as a cure-all, but I definitely advocate for more research (and have donated to the cause) and greatly reducing the stigma around the drug

Two tablets, both using the same Intel internals (as best i can tell), but one has a non-functional SD reader while the other works just fine. The difference between them is that one uses 32-bit Windows (no clue why) while the other uses 64-bit windows.

Thing is that the SD slot worked fine when i initially got the tablet, but broke at some point after a major Windows update. And thee is no way i can find to roll back drivers.
Man I hate that too. We throw parties to celebrate the company's financials if they're above target, but we don't get pay raises for it. Yet when the company is still profitable but misses revenue targets by 0.5%, we get told no pay raises because we missed targets and you're just lucky you're not getting laid off because we only made $9.95b in profits, not the $10b we wanted.

Same, a crash will kill all of your applications. But that's also what happens when xorg-server crashes. The difference is that window management is usually handled in a separate process, and if that process crashes you don't lose the windows themselves. xorg-server is generally stable enough so long as your graphics drivers are stable and you don't do anything weird. It'll take time for Wayland compositors to become similarly mature.

There has been some discussion around making Wayland compositors that behave similarly, and on crash reslience with a Wayland-specific design as well, notably:

There was a way to make a permanent site installation on most browsers using HTML5 appcache, which even the web host couldn't update, but that API is deprecated in favor of the service worker's Cache API.

It's not clear to me that the Cache API offers the same level of security guarantee.

If you give cis white people 9/10th of the vote of a trans black person, people will absolutely complain about lack of representation. They will lose their minds.

You don't have to be morally perfect to be against something. Example: you can be both a Facebook user as well as against Facebook. Another example: you can be against doping in the Tour de France whilst being a doping user. Hypocrisy is found everywhere. The fact he was a slave owner also doesn't give me an indication about "severity". In these examples, it is hard to go against the status quo.

Oh yes, I forgot about kimchee. I had it at the same place where I had the bibimbap. It is good alright. And recently I read up in Wikipedia and other sites on how they make it. Very interesting. There are many different varieties. They store them to ferment in large jars which are made of earthenware or ceramic or something like that. Traditionally, some kinds of pickles in South India (e.g. green mango pickle) are made in similar looking jars, but not as large.
I work for the customer service department of one of the companies listed. Yesterday was hell and today is shaping up to be pretty terrible.

At least know the difference between GMO's and glyphosate for Pete's sake.

Ironically it's more stressful for someone to do less work and put on a farce. He's always worried he'll be called out and have nothing to show for it.
On corporations, I do disagree with you however. I see no reason to think that the trend of megacorps will end. On the contrary, I see no reason to think that they will not continue to grow in power and influence until they are effectively more powerful than governments and eventually may even begin to supplant governments as the effective ruling forces of the world, even if governments remain as a proxy.

No, UTF-8 could, and used to, encode much more than 21 bits of codepoint space. It has been artificially limited to better match UTF-16 -- UTF-16's limits are not artificial but fundamental. If some day we need more bits, we'll simply obsolete UTF-16 and drop those limits on UTF-8. MSFT seems to be taking steps to put UTF-8 on a level or even higher playing field than UTF-16. We should welcome this.
I don’t think it matters at all that OP is a new grad. From start to nearly finish, what was described was a terrible experience. The offer was not good, and the rest of the process was mostly a sham. I don’t think I’d want to work for a company that would do that to anyone.
