I think it's sad because wouldn't you rather have a life when you could go camping whenever you want, if that was the thing that brought you the most joy?

I think capitalism is sad, I think society is sad. I think it's unnecessary. I think it's sad that in reading this sentiment, there will be people that will reflexively scoff at me for my communist, hippy ideals. "Happiness, you fool! You have to WORK for a living?" "You want communism, why don't you move to VIETNAM and tell me how it's working out!" I need to work to pay a cell phone bill and my world of warcraft subscription. I don't need to work to stay alive. I've gathered berries before, it's not so bad. As 3d printing and solar energy gathering/storage techs get better, the idea of "working" (generating value for your local billionaire) is going to become sillier and sillier.
Hmm, you might be right, but I installed an APK recently (also on Lineage) and it asked me to authorize Firefox, it had the Firefox logo and seemed to suggest that future installs would be authorized. I cancelled it and opened it through the file manager.
Doesn't make a difference. Maybe it's an industry problem, because it doesn't make sense to advertise the ticket price but hide a bunch of fees to be found at checkout. (I'm looking at you, airlines). Might as well advertise everything as $1 and everything else is fees.

It reminds me of Centurylink's "Internet Cost Recovery Fee" for $3.99 a month. It's a bullshit sneaky way to advertise one price but the actual price is "below the fold". I think this kind of pricing should be illegal.
Throwback Thursday: 5 Crypto stories from 2013
I'm not seeing it other than the cameras-sprouting-everywhere thing. What about this makes you think 90s cyberpunk look? The dark gray casing?
> Nothing happened because it's very difficult to assess damages of personal information.

It's also very difficult to assess damages of copyright violations... and so the companies that had it in their interest to get this working pushed for statutory damages.

Maybe we need something like that for privacy.
> I think you missed the point of mine.

I may have. It sounded like you were highlighting the paradox itself, while I was intending to highlight the way the paradox lends itself to abuse. Perhaps ironically, your comments about Damore and the memo are exemplary--the memo contains zero offensive generalizations; it's been picked over and no one has produced an 'offensive generalization'--only phrases that allegedly contain offensive hidden messages. And because of those hidden messages, the mob pats itself on the back for helping to suppress Damore's "intolerance" (by the way, the same mob was rationalizing the New York Times hiring Jeong despite her four-year montage of overtly racist tweets). Again, I don't want to focus too much on any one example, because there are so many others and I don't want to steal attention from the broader phenomenon.
Canadian but yes, I agree with you. If I were from somewhere else my point of view would be different.
Some of us like using websites.
Just tried it. Seems simple and functional. Did it go anywhere?
Probably not, if they use wifi these devices can phone home or even worse - act as an insecure bridge into your network [0] or accept commands from the cloud that anyone can inject.

The most unfortunate side, is that the data isn't exactly that of their customers.
I don't think you can answer that with a single question. It depends on how CPU-intensive the work that server was handling was.

I think, though, that if you'd be particularly willing to knowingly allow these kinds of vulnerabilities in exchange for some performance, OpenBSD probably isn't a good fit for you in the first place.

I became really rapt in the early days of Magic Leap PR ~14-15 ' on the basis that Neil Stephenson was joining their team in a creative capacity, and they had lots of job openings for writers and other creatives. It seemed that they may be trying to build a true virtual world with neat hardware to access it. I'm not certain that dream is dead, but the emphasis has been squarely on the hardware thus far. I'm really pleased to know that it isn't vaporware.

Poetry isn’t dead, but the range of contemporary poetry popular among both ordinary people and critics is, I feel, contracting. This trend actually predates the internet and goes back at least to the rise of the Poetry Slam movement, which rewarded highly declamatory, socially engaged poetry but had little room for hermetic or longform verse.

In our time poetry might “flourish” on Instagram, but is the social media format capable of giving us a long poem like Ashbery’s “Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror” or A. R. Ammon’s Hibernaculum? It seems to me that one would at least have to split things up into multiple posts, but then there is much less likelihood that readers will follow the entire thing, or at the very least simply be aware of how long it is. Is the social media form of virality capable of spreading such introverted work as Paul Celan’s late period starting from Atemwende to the point that it could even register culturally?

Such poetry has never been terribly popular, of course, but in the past it could at least receive steady support from academia. Nowadays, academia is a less sure friend of that poetry, because being socially engaged (overtly socially engaged) is often considered a requirement.

I had both a Windows Mobile and the first iPhone. The iPhone was definitely not "so far beyond any competitor" that it was a new kind of product. It just felt like another smartphone with a prettier UI.
Perfect example of what I was talking about. Their lineup has always seemed customized to maximize the need to buy more CPUs.

Sure, but the transistor ushered in the long-distance era and helped AT&T establish their monopoly (and their eventual breakup). Regional telephone services were already beginning to drive down costs in local markets.
In this article, Karl mentions he's busy working on RAVN. Anyone knows what he is referring to?
I've used this, it's pretty great, makes a good static copy. offcourse forms don't work. You can even export it to another folder, and if you are handy with vhosts, you van point your site to the static version and keep a dynamic version behind some form of lock (ip or password based).
> The real draw of Minecraft comes from a number of core features, most importantly the crafting and the survival needs that motivate the crafting and building.

Playing on my own, I thought the same thing. But then a coworker hosted their own server and we had probably 12 people playing on the same map. It was amazing what each person was doing. Some built elaborate structures, some farmed, some raised animals, some cleared caves/mines. One guy would just dig - long straight tunnels, he mostly banked all the stuff he mined. Watching my young nieces play the game (not on the server with my coworkers), they simply enjoyed the free-form creative mode.

The glory of Minecraft is that it's so many different games to so many different people. If you like the survival aspect, that's great, but that's not how everyone plays the game.
wow! Can't they sue Microsoft and get reinstated? Perhaps using courts?
I have been recommended Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to treat my trich. I'm also on prozac but no matter the dose it doesn't really seem to help as much. I haven't made my first appointment with my therapist yet so I don't know how well CBT will help me personally, but I have heard that it helps with things like trich as well as OCD (which I have as well)
Countries and big corporations already have a huge presence on social media. From Russia meddling with the elections to viral videos for beans we live in a world were no body knows that you are a dog on the internet, or a paid poster for some interest group.
Lot's of good advice here, but another thing to keep in mind is that dealing with legacy code can be fun sometimes. It's quite a challenge to deal with and the victories you achieve, even small ones, feel pretty good.

Also meditation is good. Sometimes I get so upset at legacy code that I have to stop and meditate.

I was unaware that discussing astroturfing, trolling, and propaganda on HN was prohibited. Apologies, I will refrain from calling attention to it in the future.

No one is claiming that BM is a replacement for local civic involvement! But I also don’t like the moral tone of claims about what other people -should- be doing with their time. Sure, some people just go out there to party - who cares? I recall H. L. Mencken: “Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”
As much as we’d like to make it more accessible, it -is- a weird art event in the remote desert, logistically limited to a small number of people. Look, the first step to civic engagement is actually thinking it’s something worth caring about. I grew up in an impoverished, hollowed-out place - I know it might sound ridiculous, but as an American in my generation the very idea of ‘society’ can be a hard concept to pick up as we don’t always get the chance to experience it growing up. Even a toy example can be illuminating to idiots like I was...
Facebook is evil.
Obviously, the "devil" is evil, but is his finger? Is his kneecap? Is his moment eating lunch?
We don't judge an entity as evil or not because all components are not evil, we judge it based on its broad activity.
Much of the devil's components might not know how evil what's in his head is.

Facebook created a social network, great, but it used it as a mass surveillance system, without user consent, to spy on some of the most sensitive parts of people's lives.
It spied on those who didn't even use the service.
It helped those who'd harm society target those most vulnerable with lies.
It offered discrimination as a service with audience targeting.
It abused its monopoly.
It threatened those that would reveal the truth with lawsuits.
It corrupted the security of financial and health services online.
It used it's audience for psychological experimentation and targeted their vulnerability to addiction.
Facebook is evil, but much of what it and many of its employees do day to day may seem like nothing worse than flexing a knee.

Why Complex16? What does 16 mean here?
I realize that it's the article's title, but this seems misleading. The bug testers were contractors working under the temp agency Lionbridge Technologies Inc.

After they won their right to unionize, they were eventually laid off because Microsoft required fewer bug testers for their dwindling Windows Mobile app store and their agency, Lionbridge, couldn't find additional work for them.
I refuse to believe the entire marketing department is dense enough not to see how that would backfire.
So how does one install an app not from the iOS app store?
Don't do business with them is a bogus missive, but you could lock your credit with all the agencies and only unlock the agencies you care to do business with when requested. But that often makes things difficult and not all users of that data will have an account with an alternative provider. (nor is the locked access the only product for which your data is offered...)
It is important to read the article before you react to the headline.
AWS might be partly to blame, for not warning them, actively or passively, in my opinion. It might just be infrastructure as a service, but it seems that major cloud providers like AWS act as an IaaS provider when convenient, and a PaaS when convenient. They censor content all the time. I don't think it would be too much to ask to send an email when a big security change is made (the emails
and audit log GitHub provides for its users are great). Plus their interfaces (UI and command line) are clunky. They should have a non-clunky dashboard of some sort where people can get a broad level overview of their security choices.

I'm not talking legal blame for the past mistake, just that at some point in the near future their IAM interface should be fixed. For one thing it should be easy to give permissions to view the permissions without giving keys to the kingdom. For another thing, there's a mental overhead to working with multiple AWS accounts [1]. I get the impression that Google Cloud Platform is ahead right now (while lots of other Google properties are not, heh).

Edit: the spyware company is absolutely to blame, but the complexity of AWS permissions including permission to view the permissions seems like a footgun to me. However, leaving open the admin site is something I wouldn't expect AWS to help with.

That is absolutely true. I just went from remote back to office and have been trimming here and there to fit my workouts in.
This affects more than just JS.
FWIW, I owned an ASUS Zen Phone 2 which contained an Atom x86 processor. It worked pretty well. I sold it to a friend of a friend who I think still uses it today. That said, that processor line was discontinued.
Legal probably thought they could silently issue C&D letters to offending sites and bully compliance.
AWS is able to get custom Intel Processors due to their size (c5 instances have a custom Intel processor).

FYI, you probably meant "conscious", as in mentally aware of the world. "Conscience" is your internal moral compass, which makes your sentence read as though people care less about right and wrong after a period of time. Which is it's own interesting idea...
It seems convenient and frustrating, but it did seem like Lionbridge specifically targeted them for laying off.
Our civics education has really gone downhill for decades.
But to negotiate that, you have to be able to threaten them with leaving. And there's no other way to get iPhone users, who are by far the biggest spenders. And if you're going to go this route of web-only transactions, you're going to have some user drop-off and missed sales, it's just a question of how much. Like, where does it make sense to switch. If its 30% drop off it doesn't matter either way. If its 15% or 5%, you'd better do it. If it's 70%, no way in hell should you do it. And I can guarantee you that every app business will have a different number for this, and it's nearly impossible to know what the drop off is before making the jump. So many are not willing to leave, and here we are. Netflix has a strong multi-platform use case already, so it's a natural move for them. Other apps may not fair so well. I think losing these larger companies is somewhat inevitable as long as the rates stay this high. We'll see Apple fight to retain them, but it would be a real surprise to see them booted from the platform over the switch, since they are still adding value. And can you imagine the backlash over the even less fair solution: Apple decides to negotiate special rates for these behemoths (just to keep them honest) while charging upstart developers the full rate! That would cause even more outrage than the 30%!

"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" -- attributed to Mao.

There are some people who make a living doing this, but 99% of people are just making some side cash and messing around.

I've made some money doing it, not a lot, and to be honest, most of the submissions I've sent have been to unpaid programs (but through Hackerone, Bugcrowd, and some companies own bug bounty systems). Why? It's fun to be able to poke at large orgs, find issues, report them, and not have some pissy response like I used to get before bug bounties were a thing. You'll actually see them get fixed and you're doing stuff that may prevent unsavory types from screwing people over.

My favorite response though is still the "This is a duplicate from [random date six months ago]". Oh, so you're purposefully just leaving an XSS live on your corporate SSO? Makes sense! Nobody ever tries to phish corporate logins at large organizations.

That's quite a statement. I'm an active snapchat user, because the user interface is very streamlined. There's no cruft from over 24 hours ago on the platform.
If you're not really willing to take action then you can always find a plausible excuse about why it was too hard or outside your control. You can certainly ask doctors if you like but I can't imagine how their answers would make a difference.
I'm doubtful competition mechanics would work to reduce the app store cut even if it wasn't equal between Android and iOS. If Google were to cut its rate to 10%, then what? App publishers aren't going to stop publishing on iOS. Even if cross-platform apps changed their pricing schemes to be cheaper on Android than iOS, I doubt many iOS users would be particularly put off by the extra 20 points in the cost of their apps.
Your parent is arguing not that it's wrong to charge a 30% cut to list in the app store, but that it's wrong of Apple to prevent loading apps from any source besides the app store.
I went with this approach on a recent project, for two reasons:
* Tracing/history/auditing
* Structuring the service around these events, it became trivial to add new "event types", rather than expanding some big hairy PATCH endpoint or similar. In other words, when I needed a user entity to be able to belong to a group, I just added a new event type, "user/join-group". Having a single endpoint for all events had two other nice benefits: batching became trivial, as well as doing several events transactionally (all events in one requests are processed in one transaction).

It's been running in production for a couple of months now, and it's been working great! The main drawback I can think of was that it obviously didn't work well with Swagger out-of-the-box, had to do some custom handling for showing all the available event types.

> Should you, as an individual, apply to a company or attempt to buy a product that has been “sold” the Equifax product suite, you’re still beholden to Equifax services(or leave without the job or house).

Worse, there's pretty much no way to tell to which companies and products this applies.

This isn't some fast food restaurant poisoning its customers. None of Equifax's "customers" got screwed by their data leak, only the targets of their "product" caught the ramifications.
Very interesting, do you have any cites for that? S. Korea has always been dominated by Android phones (and specifically Samsung, the home brand), so it's amazing that Apple gets the credit for the mobile banking experience. What's even more amazing is that iPhones weren't even sold in Korea until 2010, long after most Korean banks had released mobile apps, so Apple must have somehow manipulated time and space to change Korean mobile banking...

The only part of this article I find annoying is the artistic elitism. Burning Man is great because any asshole can create art and have lots of people see it and interact with it without it being judged by an art critic, or have to somehow get accepted into an art show or museum.

The purpose of Burning Man, and a burn in general, is to participate. If you're not participating, there is no purpose to Burning Man. This creates a good deal of the confusion and indifference to the event by spectators, and the world at large.

I'm the same way. It is interesting though, because when I would cut my hair shorter my mind somehow knew the second that my hair was long enough to be pulled because I would start up again. I also grew my hair out pretty long (for me at least, maybe 2 or 3 inches long) and would twist my hair to knot it up and then pull on the knots. It would cause pain but it the pain felt so good. Similar to when I pull my hair and I have cuts on my fingers (typically from when I pick the skin near my finger nails). The pain of the hair running over the nails is so satisfying.
