I think bolting on an equivalent of deletion is not very hard.

(1) Make sure that a chunk is unlinked from everywhere. (2) Overwrite it with random data, or plainly delete from store.

I suppose there's a way to relatively painlessly find out which chunks contain a particular item, and target them.
Can't you change your time-zone while opting out of PDT?
> as opposed to the idea that there is some ageist conspiracy at work

Any sufficiently common bias has the same effect as a conspiracy. While it's very unlikely that IBM had an actual plan to eliminate older workers, because that would be illegal and stupid, there could well have been enough culture and cues leading to myriad "independent" actions with the same effect. Bias is something that must be actively countered.

> as a 57 year-old working engineer it is somewhat against my nature to delegate responsibility for my being able to make a living to any company

That's a very reasonable attitude, but irrelevant. Whether people have other options or not does not change the fact that discrimination is wrong.
Variable shadowing should be an error. If you have to answer the "which X is this" questions the author covers when reading code, the language is too confusing. Better to get a compile time error.

if I were the dev I'd add a 'list all' just to avoid anyone thinking the above were a good plan.
No, I can't unfortunately. Too many apps rely on web backends that have been upgraded and are incompatible with the versions that run on iPad 1. For example, the built-in YouTube application on iPad 1 is completely non-functional. Also, the newer iCloud features require you to "update" your iCloud to a version incompatible with the old iPad.

Many older apps have now also been pulled from the store. My iPhone 1 can only reinstall Skype from an old iTunes backup, but not from the store.
"Forced" is a strong word. We do it because it makes things easier for business and commerce to follow the U.S.
The fact that these designs are so aesthetically pleasing is mind blowing!

A third-party audit, like mentioned in a sibling comment, would be great. Many claims are verifiable, however, especially the claims that data remains on your device - just run it without internet, or sniff the traffic.
Your question is still unclear to me: are you asking if they advertise on platforms that collect and use data to match users with ads (Facebook and google), or if they buy data from firms to use in their own advertisements / marketing campaigns.

I don’t know the answer to either question, but I assume the answer to the first is yes of course they advertise on these platforms (on google at least), and the answer to the second is, I hope No.
Even the most backwards parts of the Deep South are just trailing, but they're on the same path. They'll catch up eventually.

There was a time when lynch mobs were normal in the South.
per https://www.grammarly.com/blog/assure-ensure-insure/:

To ensure something is to make sure it happens—to guarantee it.

To insure something or someone is to cover it with an insurance policy.
7+ hours may not be solid enough sleep for you. 8-9 for many people is a bit more par for the course, though a lot of neuro research is coming out supporting the fact that regardless of quantity the "when" of sleep matters more. So, sleeping from 1 am to 10 am is much worse than 10pm-6am. Anecdotally, I had a friend who lost fine motor control of his trombone playing muscles in his mouth due to his sleep schedule and had to have a 10pm-5am sleep schedule for about 6 months before he could play trombone again. Its a special case but illustrates a similar point.
Isn't that an open-and-shut discrimination case?
I wonder what's the threshold for a demographic ratio to be considered discriminatory (age, gender, whatever)? Is 90/10 discriminatory? How about 70/30? 51/49?
Oh, that is so cool!
You hire more people to cover shifts. Service jobs are largely part-time anyway, sometimes intentionally to avoid paying benefits.
Funny, I was expecting some materials about American rocket and missile programs on this website.
I half expected to see a story about how they were discriminating against people under 50.
HomeAway is owned by the Expedia Group, which also owns Hotels.com and TripAdvisor.

Whatever you think they are missing, there is actually already a site for that.
It looks to me like, in general, the bigger a company gets, the more the "leadership" starts acting like they are running a hedge fund. The money becomes more important than the product. Then when the product is de-emphasized, the employees obviously lose their importance and then the "leadership" start treating them like cattle to be moved from grazing location to grazing location. I put "leadership" in quotes because they somehow tend to be managers, who never actually built anything, who are clueless about the nuances of the product.
I've never understood people having significant trouble adjusting their sleep schedule by one hour twice per year. Do these people never travel? You don't fly somewhere 3-4 time zones away and stay there for a week and then come home and adjust? I barely even feel a one hour change.
I was once elected to public office. Nearly every article that involved me was wrong. Several times the article even insinuated that the situation was the opposite of reality. This wan't a partisan elected position either.
For the sake of argument, what is the use of having time zones at all? I think it would be a lot easier to think about time internationally everyone lived in the same time zone.
>full, encrypted device backups via home Wifi for years

I'm curious what you'd think a reasonable price point would be. For context, I'm currently trying to set up a paid email hosting company because $50 a year seemed a bit ridiculous to me, and it seemed like it could be done a lot cheaper.
Right, and that’s back-doored by the Chinese government (in China). So neither fits gp’s desired featureset of local & frictionless.

You must mean push the school time forward? pushing it back would just mean they spend more time in darkness.

I'm being needlessly pedantic (sorry) but "back" and "forward" in time is a confusing concept best thought of in terms to "traveling back in time" (decrement your clock, move to an earlier time) "traveling forward in time" (increment your clock, move to a later time).

Saying "push back" is a very confusing phrase to me because I don't actually know what you mean and need to pick it up from context clues which are not always right.

I actually find ageism to be one of the most overt forms of illegal discrimination. People talk about how they are looking for young devs in a way that would seem insane if they were talking about white devs or male.
Towers do use GPS to sync clocks and typically they also have rubidium clocks so that they can last a considerable time without GPS. Why feed and wait for your hungry hippo GPS chip when you can do almost as good (in an absolute sense) or better (in a relative sense) by just observing tower timestamps?

It wasn't always this way, although it certainly started heading in that direction and that's when I decided to delete my account. Sad to hear that the situation appears to have gotten even worse - it was a really great site in the early days.
Such a chilling network effect might exist if all the states were equal in population, economic activity, and interstate traffic, but that's not the case here. If California wanted to abolish DST, it certainly has the clout to pull it off--and it may very well force NV to as well in the process (and perhaps even OR and WA). Same for Texas, which could force the hands of OK/LA/NM. The Northeast would be harder; you'd basically need all of New England sans CT to agree to make the switch at once, and then NY+CT+NJ+DE(+PA?) to do so at the same. The problem is far from intractable, though.

I'm a VC and I've seen lots of pitches lately for various tech related to new architectures, be it GPU, FPGA or RISC. I'd add cryptocurrency to list workloads with insatiable computing demands.
DDG was built on Yahoo! BOSS, which was backed by Yahoo search engine results until Yahoo switched to Bing (almost 10 years ago.) So, if we are insisting on being accurate, SSG's main backend is Bing.
To your point, we invested billions in rockets before we knew we would go to the moon! Of course rockets were useful for moving bombs quickly in the meantime.

Quantum computers won't be faster at solving conventional problems, but they will be useful for simulating quantum behaviors related to chemistry and cosmology. Maybe we'll make sense of dark matter, who knows? I'm in the camp that we'll develop totally new problems to solve that didn't fit the domain of digital computers.
At home, your best bet would be some kind of DIY Arduino / Raspberry Pi + temperature sensors.
I'm working something like this. The idea is that the artist hosts their own server and payment gateway, and therefore receives all the profits from any sales they make.

Adding IPFS ontop of this would make it more robust.
I'm a big fan of Kōbō Abe. The Woman In The Dunes is probably his most famous and easiest to read of the ones I've encountered. For a more dream-like, trippy experience, try The Box Man or The Ruined Map.
Seems this was downvoted a lot but in Europe it's practically the expected behaviour.

Modern banks (N26, Revolut, Monzo, etc.) will send you a notification through their app and then you use the fingerprint sensor on your phone or a passcode to approve the transaction. With ATMs they will check your location and block any ATM transaction that is not near to you, or in a different country. The limits are very customisable and you can do it on the fly.

Most of the time you just have to open your bank app on your phone and hit confirm. You can lock the card when you're not using it and unlock it when you do, so no need to wait for a replacement or call support; meaning that if you lost your card you can go into the app and lock it straight away, just in case you find it again or it's returned.

It integrates with 3D Secure in a lot of places so you can still press your finger on your phone to approve.

It's a much more pro-active approach to bank fraud than what you get when you can't let go of the legacy system.
Honestly, when I saw that battery saver was on, I thought I turned it on by accident.

A lot of the responses here are overreactions. This appears to be a defect, not something nefarious. Part of software development is altering default settings. Another part of software development is periodic updates. Mistakes like this will happen. Get over it.
The increased incidence of both heart attacks and car accidents after each time change would indicate that yes, a lot of people have trouble with the change.
This. It freaking kills me that management always gets to stay and engineers get the axe. What makes it worse is these places always talk about loyalty like it means anything at all to engineers. Loyalty seems to only work one way.

I’m not sure this is really an issue when we consider that there are gobs and gobs of completely unmoderated instances.

You might be correct, but considering there are so many totally unmoderated instances and that anyone can easily attach their own instance to the network and have the exact level of moderation they deem appropriate for their community, im guessing it’s really just a matter of getting people away from Twitter, and the concern I hear about by far the most often is the fact that you can’t bring your followers with you if you choose to change instances.
> I should note that I have no idea about how the kernel maintainers function on a daily basis. Maybe they're already doing a really great job of those things, and it's only 0.001% of merge requests that result in spectacular Linus rants and therefore show up on HN or whatever. Since it seems like kernel development is humming along pretty well for the mooooooost part I'd put my money on that, but who knows.

Well, you're spot-on right here. The reason I think it is a more understandable solution for Linus is that, by the time a piece of substandard or dishonest work makes it to Linus, the buck should have stopped at least at a couple of places. They are doing an excellent job, but at the 99.995th percentile there is going to be a piece of substandard or dishonest work in Linus' inbox, and each time it should be a matter of considerable interest to everyone involved as to how it got there (and the multitude of ways it should not have made it).

I believe the IPFS team has already built a browser extension that runs a js-ipfs node. Running an IPFS node is not ideal for power and bandwidth constrained devices like a mobile phone. This is where I see gateways fitting in, long-term. Not having to trust a gateway unconditionally is necessary to make this viable.
Sniffing the traffic does not help if the content that leaves your phone is encrytped by applications that are binaries.
"Abolishing" DST means that there's no longer any PDT, just PST, MST, CST, EST... But abolishing DST while desiring to move to "summer time" just means, in practice, shifting the state from PST to MST.

I don't disagree at all! But this tendency has crept its way into being the norm, as opposed to circumstantial or role-specific, and I applaud any manager/employer trying to lessen the off-hours workload of the rank and file.

To me it seems that there is a weird kind of paradox. While Linus often say very mean things to people, most people I think still feel welcome regardless of it.

He has also routinely said and explained that he wants work with everyone, regardless of whether he thinks they're playing fair or not. I'm referring here to his stance of not pursuing legal action against GPL infringers. He'd rather work on the relationship than write them off. This I think has been very important in driving Linux adoption and cooperation. This is something almost any leader probably would not have done. So I think we can be very grateful towards Linux for this.

On the other hand, you get people who insist strongly on being nice, but are super quick to write off relationships or ban people from their organisations and projects when they're not following rules. This probably tends not to be great for the longevity of these projects.
The whole point is to faithfully reproduce the C65 prototype. They're extremely unlikely to change the font.

That said, the lines all look a bit thicker/darker than the original to me. That may be responsible for the kerning issue you see.
I wasn't commenting on bad behaviour or not (at least not in that comment). It just seems like lots of folks are talking about this issue in the abstract rather than from experience.
In terms of a business sense, Apple's move to make privacy a core feature is almost the last differentiator they can make between themselves and other mobile device operators. Android has "won" the mobile phone war in the sense of device count (it wasn't always the case, remember). The premiere Android devices, e.g., Pixel, Galaxy, and some others all tack on hardware features generally superior to Apple's – maybe not all in one, but the BEST of each feature generally belongs to an Android device maker, whether it's the screen, camera, fingerprint reader, or otherwise. Even with Apple's degrading performance to save battery life, they lost the performance crown explicitly (showing they did not prioritize that) and battery life can be beaten by thicker phones which Apple avoids.

So, all that's really left that they can compete with commercially and effectively against Google's Android hegemony is in the one thing neither Google nor their device partners can even deign to pursue – consumer privacy. Apple is, and likely always will be, a hardware company. So, they do not see consumer's private info as a source of revenue. They just need folks to keep buying their devices. They can differentiate by making privacy a feature, something a device beholden to Google or the Play marketplace can never be, which is the vast majority of Android devices out there.
As others have noted, you'll likely find what you're looking for by finding other magical realism authors rather than other Japanese authors.

Ask HN: What can we do to decrease neuroticism in online communities?
This question was prompted after reading an article about the spread of neuroticism in web forums and social media.

https://www.truthhawk.com/web-forums-make-neuroticism-viral/

On HN over the years, we've had tons of, frankly, geniuses start their social media companies and forums only to have them become overrun with anxiety, dread, fear, and hopelessness. I'm also starting to see some of that here on HN too, but to a lesser degree.

So what are some options to address this? I think a good solution can absolutely become the next "killer app" if someone smarter than me figures it out and succeeds in getting it to market.

I was very excited about Datomic as well, but disappointed it wasn't Open Source.

I decided to fix that + build something that combines my favorite features from Postgres, Mongo, Neo4j, Couch/Pouch, Riak, Cassandra, Redis, Rethink, Firebase, and MySQL! Lol, it has only taken me 4 years and ~ still not v1.0 yet but the Internet Archive (Top 300 site in the world!) and others are running us in production. So give it a try - it is all MIT/Zlib/Apache2 licensed ( https://github.com/amark/gun ), no crippleware "opencore", and fast (20M ops/sec for cached data, which Datomic also does, but IDK their benchmarks off the top of my head).
Wait, it's not my argument that all reporting is correct! It's my argument that 90% of it is crap.
It's more important to consider what is more important for your product and the market it serves. The takeaway here is that you shouldn't forget about price and the end user at all. But it is ultimately one of several decisions to make with its own tradeoffs.

But overall I'll admit that it's great metric for decision making especially for us engineers that get caught up in the design of the ideal product.

In my opinion, browse youtube for "microsoft q#" and check out their quantum development kit.

There will be the quantum mechanic quants that build new algorithms, but I think the Q# kit will be the SciKit of quantum and getting familiar with the classes and methods they provide will be a good step towards future-employability.

While true, I think this would not have stopped Minix, because you could compile and run all GNU tools on it. I just read that Linus developed Linux on a machine running Minix.

However, what I got wrong: in the first years, Minix was not free. Users had to either buy the book, or pay a license fee of $69.
I have enough of those at home.. in every room.. But as far as I understand it, even measuring temperature with a medical thermometer like when you do when you have a cold wouldn't be enough. You need a core body temperature. And I don't feel like inserting thermometer in my ass every hour. Installing arduino there is also not something that I'm willing to consider.
Like almost every article about RSS it seems more concerned with people writing than it is with the needs of the readers. That was always the problem with David Weiner and his pals.

For instance what the exact format is does not matter. Supporting RSS, Atom and a few similar formats from a reader perspective is just no problem compared to parsing bad HTML, dealing with JS Hell, etc.

The real issue is a lack of innovation on the part of feed readers, particularly that we still see the "here is a list of all your feeds" viewed separately and no effort to make a workflow where you can make it so your time is not wasted by articles from Tedium and sensationalistic sites like Fox News and the New York Times, etc.
