I'm not a fan of that either, nor do I use Ubuntu (for other reasons).

However, in what.. 10 mins? you've been able to discover exactly what causes the "spying" and an idea on how to disable it. Perhaps in less than an hour you'll have a good idea on exactly what data is being sent.

Compare that to say, Windows, there we have no idea on exactly what data is being sent out or how to completely disable it (beyond being a company with volume licences or using firewall rules).
that's exactly why I made that point debatable ;) Feel free to use Numpy, I'd consider that as the Python base array library anyways;)
Note though, that this challenge is aimed at the people, that need to implement libraries like Numpy ;) But if Numpy is a good enough basis to actually create such a new flexible implementation, consider me impressed!
Massive scandal incoming.

Think about it...Musk has been growing increasingly erratic lately. It's a hot company, they seem to be hitting their numbers and yet people are bailing under rather circumstances (<1 month after joining a hot startup?)

Something is obviously putting incredible levels of psychological pressure on them.

hmmm...need to check whether I can short this tomorrow.

I'm sorry but this is terrible advice, and is precisely how people like Steve Jobs die for no reason.

More people need to understand this. The “<x>nm” nomenclature now represnts the new generation of product. Similar to how 4G cellular is not 33% better then 3G. It just means the next generation.

One of the things that got Intel in trouble with their 10nm generation of products was that their 10nm process was much more ambitious then other companies. Turned out that it increased the complexity (and decreased the yield) so much that they were not able to make it work when they expected to.
Some of these are on leetcode which had user-reported frequency of appearance in interviews.

I've personally seen the power and addition ones.

They're all terrible, but also representative of the quality of questions asked in interviews these days.
And to preempt the pointless but inevitable thread to follow: it also wouldn't need the dialog if it were based in the EU.

How do I know? I don't. Maybe it does track users. But the website was used as a counter example to "forces every website", and a hypothetical news.ycombinator.eu which doesn't track users or keep any PII on them (conceivable by any reasonable person) is acceptable as a counter argument.

The point stands. GDPR doesn't force anything. It just prevents you from tracking people silently.
i've only skimmed parts of the book, but i recall the author explicitly saying multiple times that it is not a book of "tricks", but rather tactics that can only work if there is genuine interest behind them.

idk how much time you have spent being deliberately manipulative, but unfortunately i have in my earlier years. unless you are naturally this way, it takes a lot of work in the moment and people are not usually fooled.
Can You Solve the Puzzle Which Inspired Probability Theory?
> Price is determined by more than just supply and demand. The price demanded is determined partially by scarcity and partially by the wealth required to create a good.

"scarcity" being supply, and "wealth" being supply of money which translates to demand for housing. "demand" is people's willingness to purchase something.

> Building enough to push 250k houses to 200k would cost more money than the entire GDP and poor people still couldn't make the down payment.

You have it exactly backwards. Like I say, you're too focused on the literal cost. 250k vs 200k is entirely based on supply and demand.

Lets say we want low income people to be able to afford 2 bedroom 1k sq/ft apartments. To achieve that we need to build more 3-5 bedroom 2k sq/ft places. The wealthy will want the nicer apartments which reduces demand for the 2 bedroom place and that's how they become affordable.

Connascence, a software quality metric and taxonomy for types of coupling
Privacy and security issues predate the creation of JavaScript. Web Bugs (beacons, tracking pixels, etc) popped into existence with in 1993 after cookies and third-party images began to flourish on the web.

JavaScript came along in 94/95 to breath life into the web. It's an amoral tool; what matters more is the hand that wields it. Sadly, many have chosen to do some pretty terrible things with it. But many more have chosen to do some pretty terrific things with it.

Brendan created JavaScript, helped it to grow strong, and is now here to combat the abuse we see online by those who have chosen to do harm with it. You're watching the arch of redemption unfold before your very eyes ;)
I don't know why this surprises me but this just feels weird.

I felt like Inbox was the product that I was supposed to get on board with. It really is true that you just can't love google products. They make it freaking impossible.
Totally understand. I realize my original statement comes off a bit pithy, but I meant it when I said "may".
Are there any twitter-clones that allow you to post markdown?

No need to wait 50 years if you wish to break the law. Right now you can steal all the content you like. Don't forget removing DRM in the US is illegal, and laws will undoubtedly only get more draconian.
Why use Google Trips? So that they can get you hooked and then close it down? Much like Inbox and many products before that..
Not running its extensions was mostly a result of the fact that that required running IIS on Windows NT. IIS had a number of high profile problems, and Windows NT 3.51/4.0 (remember, bare metal not VMs) really wasn't ready for running at that scale or in that context. Compared to putting in a SPARC-based machine running Solaris, it just didn't make sense - much harder to manage, less efficient use of resources etc.
The International Energy Association does forecasts of global demand, which are as good as anything. They see oil demand peaking at around 100 MMb/day at 2030 last I checked (we are at around 90 now).
Their situations seem pretty similar to me. "Take it or leave it" for the little human doesn't translate to "choose among these options or leave it" for the big corporation. They can read headers. They're also running javascript in the browser itself, so we'll see something like those pathetic "please turn off your ad blocker" messages soon enough...

No one deserves to stay in business. If the model doesn't work, find one that does.

>If depicting usage for the amateur was the main point of the article

You understood that right, it is not :) That's why I wrote, that I'd probably need years to create the same implementation in any other language.

I do think it does have a widespread implication for the ecosystem though, and therefore at some point will also be relevant to newcomers.
Huh, I thought it was grounds for a hefty fine right off the bat. What about horns being trumpeted that GDPR is going to stifle innovation (smaller companies unable to muster the legal force to comply)?
> Many more of them than is normal in such a short time.

They have 37,000 employees. If 1% of them are "executives" and the average executive stays for five years, the mean time between executive departures would be five days. Are they actually averaging significantly more than one departure every five days?
> It's creating a culture that is welcoming to more individuals

Somehow I feel less welcome in a culture where there are lots of people vigilantly seeking offense where none ever was and waiting to pounce on the use of every word they can find any reason, real or imaginary, to feel slighted with. In fact, I feel a strong desire to not touch such a culture with a ten foot pole. I am glad to contribute my time and my effort to open source (and I regularly do), but I would not want to be a target of hate mob trying to ruin my life or argue with concern trolls, that's just not how I want to spend my life.

> It's not bullying

You do what they want, or they'll hurt you and your project. How it's not bullying?

> In fact, I'd say active code maintainers who receive these requests and don't _reasonably_ accommodate them are the real bullies.

You may say whatever you want, but you will be wrong. Actual bullies are those who try to force people to behave to their liking with threats and hurt. No amount of redefining terms will change that. If you threaten to hurt someone in any way - virtually or physically - over some words that they say or don't say to your liking - you are a bully. It's not hard to see.

What? At $350 the Homepod offers nothing compelling. If you're in the market for a great speaker and have around $350 to spend, you aren't going to buy the Homepod. The Google Home Max is only $50 more and greatly superior in sound quality. The Sonos One is $150 less and about equal quality. Both also have much better assistants built in as an added bonus. If you don't care about the smart features, then you could go for some very high quality mid range speakers for that money. Hell, a set of dedicated 2.1 Logitech PC speakers like the z623 will blow the Homepod out of the water in terms of quality and they're doing that at $118 on Amazon. Throw in an Echo Dot or a Home Mini and you have better sound better smarts for less than two thirds the Homepod price.
Don't bring it up.. doesn't mean don't talk about it. If work comes up then it comes up.

No matter how interesting / fun you think your job is; Work talk can lead to you talking to much about yourself in a way thats not interesting / fun. It can limit the type of people you meet, and you can miss out on some really great network building.

Indeed! Subscription models work for some, but not for most. This adds friction to the user. Now they have to manage different accounts, monitor their monthly spending for each, and more.

With Brave Payments, the user needs only to fund their wallet with BAT, and browse the web. By default, each property will receive a portion of the user's monthly allotment, relative to the amount of attention to user spent on that property's domain.

If a user has chosen to give $10 worth of BAT to 5 sites, and one of them received 80% of the user's attention, then that site will get $8 worth of BAT. The rest of the sites will get the remainder, pro rata.

Brave goes a step further though, and issues BAT grants monthly to users. So users don't need to fund their wallets to participate. Soon, users will be able to fund their wallet by opting into Brave Ads.

I 'm all for the EU trying to enact protectionist measures against the US invaders, but I'd rather they would do it in a straightforward, china-firewall way, than with these firework-like regulations that don't benefit the EU at all y (I mean, let's admit it after 20 years, EU just can't compete). On the one hand, GDPR has not reduced my ad revenue (Nor google's), despite not having tracked ads (which reinforces my belief that tracking is marketed as way more effective than it is). Now, this directive will not deprive Google of any revenue, while it will actively hurt the eu publishers big time (which google will drop).
Shhh, don't tell anyone, it will end up in an Agile Scrum book soon..
If you're looking at "strictly manufacturing numbers", then you're only looking at part of the picture, conveniently, the part that Tesla wants you to look at.

News organizations provide extra contextual information that reveals that "strictly manufacturing numbers" aren't representative of the company's performance. This is why they are valued.

But that's getting away from the point: you're distrustful of news organizations for possibly having motives, and yet you're trustful of Tesla even though they definitely have motives. It doesn't make sense.
I was talking about forced military conscription, i.e. what Taiwanese and Korean citizens undergo, not the American prison system.

These systems aren't as bad as chattel slavery because there is a strict legal requirement of when they must end (usually within a year), the citizen remains a citizen (albeit a military one as well) and thus still gets due process (outside of military punishments for, say, defecting or pointing a gun at a superior officer), the citizen can own property while doing their service, they get to do whatever they want with their own money, etc etc etc.

I still think they're wrong, for many reasons, but also because I don't believe there should be militaries designed for human-human conflict.
Nope. I am kinda of in the same mind set as George Carlin. If voting made any difference it would be illegal.
But, how many of the "executive" 1% are at the level of Chief Accounting Officer or Director of Manufacturing Engineering? Probably less than 370?

And I also don't care where a person is politically; the private sector's obligation is to not leave their employees on public assistance. The government, and by extension you and I are not there to subsidize Wal-Mart.

"I'm not sure how we got it into our head that that should be the responsibility of private businesses."

Well, why do you believe that it's our duty to subsidize labor costs for Wal-Mart?

"It's like seeing the thermostat is broken in the house, so we take a wrench to the engine of the car. It makes no sense to me whatsoever."

I'm sorry, but I absolutely cannot agree with any basis for that comparison. Why is it bonkers to tell a company, "Hey, make sure you're paying your full time employees enough so that the government does not have to pick up the slack." Especially one so big and profitable as Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart has exactly no excuse whatsoever to not pay their employees enough to not need food stamps.
I think 1% of the USA is generous. We're talking about mostly programmers and software engineers here. I doubt the level 2 tech support at Comcast is reading HN, much less any significant percentage all IT workers.

> misaligned incentives and short-term-ism that rewarded people for mispricing assets.

Yes, absolutely, agreed. But this is the classic problem of not pricing in externalities, like every kind of pollution (climate change), delayed effect on human health, and various second- and higher order consequences.

Legislation should demand better goals (sustainability, health friendliness, inequality-decreasing). As long as tax incentives are broken, we'll continue to see the race for the quarterly profit.

There's the problem:

Big-name architects including Frank Gehry and Shigeru Ban
donated original designs for modern, innovative homes

and

“Well, Brad Pitt is a tough boss,” Darden said in the 2010
speech at the PopTech conference, posted on YouTube in 2011.
“He said that we had to build houses that were safe,
affordable, green, adaptive, durable, designed by award
winning architects, designed around residents’ needs.”

They went off the rails when they shifted focus away from safe, affordable, and durable. Those are really difficult to do well. They should've taken a hint from the local history and stuck to the tried and true shot-gun style house so that it would be impossible to get the fundamentals (i.e. shedding rain) wrong or for costs to run out control. It then would have been easier to manage quality control on things like dry wall and paint (or lack thereof). Overly ambitious design[1] and cheap finishing is the source of the water and mold damage.

[1] Overly ambitious in context. I'm sure the architects tried to keep things simple, but simple is relative. Simple to Frank Gehry or a freshly graduated architect is not the same kind of simple to a seasoned local homebuilder.
> So the executive was on LOA for multiple months beforehand?

Without the benefit of the internal memo, I would have assumed maternity leave and deciding not to come back. It's common. With the memo though, it sounds like she may have been caring for another family member, or some similar situation, and just decided it isn't worth it to come back.
If you're giving out free widgets with ads engraved on them, I have the right to sand off the advertisement or cover it with something I dislike less.

Some widgets are useful. Most ads are not useful. Bundling your free widget with an advertisement doesn't mean I have an ethical obligation to look at the advertisement or keep it there.

If you want to make money on your widgets I'd recommend selling them rather than trying to sell your consumers to advertisers.
Recovering from JavaScript errors… by not using it
Nah. The 'diamonds' thing was created by de Beers by advertising. Making everyone think you had to give a wedding ring when you get married - something everyone now believes. Getting control of all diamond mines, and restricting supply so prices are super-high. It's a huge and amazingly effective scam.
> minimum wage helps people in employer markets

No.

Minimum wage helps software developers to take away jobs from low skilled workers (because it forces employers to automate low-paying jobs).

Most of workers are hurt by minimum wage limit. The higher minimum wage limit is - the more workers are hurt by it.

It does NOT matter if job market is "employer market" or "candidate market". The impact of "minimum wage limit" increase is the same: lower skilled workers lose their jobs to software developers and other higher skilled workers.

I think the biggest thing they could do to make their products last longer is replaceable batteries. My iPhone 6S Plus was given a new life when I replaced its battery. I did this officially, but only because there was a massive discount (£100 -> £30). Newer iPhones battery replacements cost even more especially outside warranty.
Will have to disagree. It's even better when you only know the hosts to be late. Most people at a party don't know each other they are all getting to know each other. If you come in late.. some folks will already be looking for new people to talk to, and you'll essentially be "new kid in class".. aka someone new and exciting to talk to.

Actually, the two examples you bring up are paragons of asinine design. I can't imagine it being easy to justify such design decisions, your attempt to do so was wholly unconvincing.
Yep, but also they're claiming 40% lower power consumption. So it's safe to assume they could have traded that power efficiency gain for more performance. Despite that, most of that gain in PPA is due to the 7nm transition, rather than micro-architectural developments.

this is a true statement, but idk how different it really is for the kids. when i was a kid i would happily spend hours rereading the same garbage star wars expanded universe books over and over and over, even though i had basically memorized the plot. with the abundance of content, i doubt today's children would be as satisfied to revisit the same thing so many times, but i also doubt that they waste much more time than i did.
