Hey, I think the part there about the data the users added being saved to your mindstamp dashboard is good, but I think a lot of companies (especially the company I just finished a couple years consulting at and whom I'm going to forward this to) would like to pay for that data to be available to their scripts on the page.

The context I am thinking of specifically is guided help systems in which you want a response from a customer before showing some more video or maybe even switching to another video.

If you think you would be willing to add that kind of functionality in to your product I can tell them when I pass it on to them and set you up to talk.
What hurts is the whiff of grant cartels. You read some of the grants and it's not hard to believe they we're written with someone in mind.
Totally agree. I'd even buy one if the hardware was 5x thicker and heavier.

But I think what we really need is the smartphone-equivalent of the IBM PC.

It would allow anybody to develop a nice OS.

And with emulators you could still run Android/iOS apps.
Ask HN: What do you think of bug finding tools?
I do a PhD in program analysis and I'm interested in developers opinions about current bug finding tools and static analysis tools, about their usability and usefulness in everyday software development.

So, do you use static analysis tools or bug finding tools, either yourself as a developer or in your company? If so, do you find them useful? How well are they integrated into your workflow? What kind of information or diagnostics would like them to give you? If not, have you ever used this kind of tools in the past and what was your main concern?
That's a good question. Maybe its because we are so hungry for information here on HN. Reading HN articles is a mild addiction for me. Perhaps not as detrimental as other addictions but the one adverse thing it does affect is my sleep.

To me, writing software is primarily a research activity. It always has been, no matter how proficient I think I am at a language. That's probably why HN articles appeal to me so strongly; it's what I do all day long.

npm is trash, with horrible performance and a horrendous security track record. At this point there is zero reason to use npm over yarn. Now this? Why would I ever trust a brand new (and thus full of undiscovered bugs) product from the same company behind npm?
"Location collecting bug" was a favorite twice, last time not that long ago.
Probably because we are still animals and are driven primarily by the same impulses as other animals. It takes intent, awareness and conscious effort to rise above these impulses, and it provides little to no benefit to the individual.

Or in other words, it's an instance of the tragedy of the commons, where the "commons" is the future of our species and the planet.
I will let the generation Y kids know your opinion ;)
> Also, where in that Bugzilla thread are bookmark descriptions mentioned as being an attack vector? I can't find anything about it.

I was wondering the same thing. The only relevant item I could find is in bug 1402890 [0] linked in the very last comment. It says:

> Websites dictating what goes in a user's bookmark without any way to change that would be a terrible idea. Doubly so if it's secretly stored without even being viewable.

To me that seems like a valid privacy concern, but it should be solvable without discarding the entire feature. The "it's too hard to maintain this, let's just drop it, some volunteer will implement this again if it's needed (yeah, it won't integrate with our own UI like the current solution does, so what)" mindset in both those bugs just reeks of CADT [1].

Very much so, and once you've completed the book there are a lot of extensions various people have made.

For example here's a version with classes / OO-behaviour:

Or here's my version which "just" adds some more standard-library facilities, allowing you to open/read/write files:

https://github.com/skx/monkey

I found the language fun to play with, and I used a virtually identical lexer and parser-idea in a recent project of my own - rather than "parsing" an input-file with regular-expressions, which is how I would have previously approached the implementation of simple DSLs. I guess that showed I'd learned something useful!
Closely related (the only extant members of Monodontidae), very vocals and imitators and probably loosely similar languages. Babies are also similar in shape and colour.
I do not know the numbers but dare to say with great certainty that regular vocational training is orders of magnitude more efficient and thus lower in cost than the military.
The claim isn't that matter can't travel FTL. It's that information cannot. Our current understanding of physics makes this rather fundamental and overturning it would involve seriously drastic changes to our understanding of reality.

Being able to send a message at a million times FTL would make it really easy to send messages back in time.

As a teacher? In the US? Good luck with that. At least it might solve the personal problem of working off your behind just so you get something to eat.

The profession of a teacher/mentor was once one of the most respected professions that had ever existed. Now look at what is happening to education in the US. Teachers are underpaid, curricula cut and trimmed to the minimum, tuitions in private schools worth a fortune. Public schooling is in danger. How to survive that as a public school teacher? Go on strike? LOL
>To catch up with what is common in Western Europe, the pay needs to at least double to 80k USD and more for teachers of upper secondary classes.

What do you mean by this? It seems that the USA pays very similar to what Western Europe pays their teachers (ignoring outliers)?

> I fail to see how ad revenue and data collection has anything to do with battery saving mode.

The implication is clearly that someone whose revenue is based on prying on your personal information has more incentive to do things like this than someone whose revenue is not affected by how much they know about you.
Thanks for the explanation, but then the README is just not very helpful. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It doesn't, monitoring and configuring battery saving is relatively harmless to the majority of consumers. The point that the OP made is that there is nothing stopping them from doing more harmful tests like experimenting with web traffic, running benchmarks or something, tracking app usage in terms of direct relationships (e.g. this person always reads emails, then hacker news, then checks snapchat, then browses these kinds of shopping apps), etc. I'm not saying that these are likely, but when information about specific users drives ad revenue up then it's not much of a leap to suggest they'll collect a bunch of information that people don't want them to collect.

Picture a peaceful forest. Tall trees, underbrush, sun-dappled leaves, the smell of loam on the gentle breeze. A rustle in the distance. You feel at peace, and harmony surrounds you.

This peaceful scene is an endless orgy of violence, death, and deceit as living things work constantly against one another. Animals stalk prey as plants wage chemical warfare against plants and animals alike. Creatures pretend to be other creatures, and plants pretend to be insects in order to attract them for selfish reasons.

"Harmonious" is not a word everyone would use to describe nature red in tooth and claw.
Boring. How many articles like these, should we LOSE our time with? Like, everybody is writing about this nowadays.
Over here (UK) we don't see it as socialism, we just see it as good management. The consensus that we needed a national health service came after WW1 when it was found that a large section of the conscription age work force were not fit for service and were too sickly to work effectively in factories. Improving health provision became a national security issue. Also government services don't have to be costly and ineffectual. Just compare US health provision with pretty much any western European health system, inflated legal and insurance costs are crippling the US health system. I don't speak as a socialist. I'm a lifelong conservative voter. An efficient labour force that's fit for purpose needs to be healthy and well educated.
Totally agree. However, in many instances, some people listed as authors didn't contribute in any way to the article. They may have attended a meeting at some point, or there may be a local culture where you have to include your PhD advisor no matter what.

On the other hand, there are researchers who wouldn't put their name on an article unless they contributed significantly.

We're taking this serverless thing too far. We're coming up with elaborate overcomplicated schemes to accomplish simple tasks just so we can say "we're not running a server for this".

Instead of doing the simple thing and running a server process that periodically checks some queue for tasks to execute, this "scheme" involves triggering a lambda function every minute, to do some IO operations on a distributed file store where the execution date metadata is embedded in the filenames to see if there is some task to execute. If there is, some more distributed IO operations are required to move the file to another part of the distributed file storage, where some listener will notice a new file was added and trigger the actual lambda function with the task-specific code...

But hey, you're not running any servers yourself...
because when government based fiat collapsed, we will go back to basic. Gold and silver is knows for thousands of years to be somewhat valuable assets, comparing to paper you carry in your wallet that only holds value when government says so.

Unless you have other valuables, such as a nice watch or necklace silver in general will be a value you can exchange for first needs stuff such as bread, meat, water.

For example Chrome has implemented Web Components which Polymer uses. Most Google sites (e.g. Google Play Music) use Polymer, so they work fine and speedily on Chrome, but on other browsers they use a slow Javascript polyfill.

Actually I think Firefox supports them natively now but until very recently it didn't.

The summer-off argument has been used in many countries and since I know some teachers now it is a pretty shitty argument as most of the 'summer vacation' is filled with learning (required), creating next years curriculum due to changes in the requirements and helping the less-well-off children get through. On average they do get a bit more off-time in the summer, but also work considerable longer hours per day and nights (speaking to parents, yay!) than most office workers.
Except this is not really about data collection, but about the other direction: Who can send data to my phone (or other device) I ostensibly own and make it do all kinds of things without my permission - or restrict what I can do with it.

Ridiculous. How much do you want to bet I can walk a block or two from plenty of light rail/subway stations in LA and hit mandatory single-family homes?

What's the point of spending tens of millions on a new train station, and then intentionally making it hard for people to actually access? "Gee, nobody uses the transit that we made sure people can't live next to. I wonder why?"

Every train station should have at least mid-rise housing in a 4-block radius, and low-rise from 5 to 8 blocks out.
Also hated it, started skimming paragraphs, still didn't get to the point, then came to the HN comments for a TL;DR

I think there does exist an audience for this writing style though, so I'm not against those articles existing, it's good to have diverse styles, at least there is actual work put into writing this (it's not a "14 ways to improve sleep, number 8 will surprise you" page by page slideshow)
Guns, Germs, and Steel is a really good book. Two hospital MD's independently stopped me at gym to say "that's one of the best books I've ever read." And the department chair where I worked exclaimed similarly.

Another hypothesis I would posit about the evolution of world powers is that WWII Axis members later reached population maximums and declines before Allied powers, and that that somehow shaped their political and situational values to align them together. It's not obvious until you see population graphs of Japan, Italy and other Axis countries are nearly all in population decline unless other unqiue factors like immigration bolster their numbers.

Wanting two opposite properties simultaneously is paradoxical requirements.

And no, resonance isn’t the reason for EM. Faraday cages are not resonant, and they block (certain frequencies of) EM. Neither are lenses, and they make directional detection of EM much easier. And, honestly, I’m not sure what the right word is for individual photons being absored by atoms or molecules.

EM is a fundamental force. Everything interacts by fundamental forces, even neutrinos, but even though I think neutrino communication is cool and potentially useful in limited circumstances, it’s not reasonable to just assert that aliens will be chatting interstellar with them. EM is about the best you can get for interstellar because there’s nothing in the way to block it.
Neutrinos are what you would use if there is a lot of stuff in the way — like, say, a planet or a star — and you benefit from the slightly lower lag time of going through it instead of bouncing around it, or you can’t go around it because thing you’re talking to is in the middle of it.

Even if you posit that super advanced alien technology can make wormholes, the only way you’re going to get anything other than light going through them is if they turn out to be really small and it’s better to have a high energy electron (=small DeBroglie wavelength) beam going through them.
The part about man in the middle attacks is as far as I can tell dangerously misleading.

Defaulting to HTTPS is not enough to prevent cookie theft by man in the middle attacks, because a browser will still happily do HTTP connections. (They'll get redirected to HTTPS if you configure the server for HTTPS only, but that's only happening after the Cookie is already transmitted without encryption.)

Traditionally there is a "secure" flag for cookies. (I know little go, but from reading the docs it seems it can be set in http.Cookie with Secure = true, similarly to the httponly flag he's describing.)

However these days there's a better solution: Use HSTS, which enforces HTTPS connections after the first connection has been made. Even better is HSTS preloading, where your domain is added to a whitelist of HSTS domains within common browsers.

Not to question this woman's problems, but can someone shed some light on what the situation there is that would make a salary like that 'low income'? The median house price is 234k according to Zillow, so I would imagine rent being; what; 700 to 1000? I want to feel for these people, and I'm not claiming they are making things up; but when I see articles like this, they usually have examples that make me scratch my head a bit.
Xiaomi doesn't give a shit about the bootloader itself. What it cares about, is people receiving a modified version of MIUI which it has no control over:

"The retailers would buy Xiaomi devices in bulk, unlock the bootloader, change the software themselves or flash a custom ROM like Xiaomi.eu (unofficial ROMs based on MIUI China but with more languages and features), and then sell the device. Most consumers would have no way of knowing they’re running unofficial/modified software, and would instead blame Xiaomi for a lack of updates or bugs they encounter."
I agree, I loathe this obsession with newness and disdain for anything used as if it's tainted/unclean. Some would say the economy would fall apart without consumerism/the debt that supports it, but idk, surely there has to be a better way to arrange things.
As a freelance engineer, not knowing how to efficiently invest my time in learning something new. In other words: how do I keep staying relevant in the market?

Unlike other professions, having more experience does not relate to being more valued, often the opposite (image a medical doctor being dismissed for having too much experience). A software engineer (that wants to stay a developer) needs to re-invent herself multiple times during a career.

How do I pick what to learn? Just going by what interests me or what is hyped doesn't seem to be a good strategy

I'm working myself on a start-up to solve this problem (broad idea is to find companies that sponsor learning)

What exactly does the election process mean to you then? What value do you see in it if not something like this?

You have 2 choices. The first is the "always do it yourself" fix to other people's mistakes or intentional trespasses. The second is to have the "people in charge" do it for you in a sustainable manner, at scale.

The second option might include repeated litigation. I have no idea how it would work but making them pay more than they earn every time is a strong deterrent.

Which most gamers don't care about.

What they do care about, is what follows that sentence: "preventing anyone from finding out your IP address and launching a DDoS attack against you".

Especially for high profile e-sports figures and streamers, that's a very real problem: they want to interact with their fans using chat/voice calls, without giving bad actors the means to DDoS their residential connections (causing disconnects from game matches etc).

That's also why Discord proxies all embedded media from third parties through their own servers (except for some major sites, that are white-listed).
