Stuff like this will slowly stop further evolution of society and lock down the status quo. Right now we still have ways to change society peacefully but in a surveillance state either nothing changes or change has to come with force.

I think societies with massive surveillance will stagnate until they collapse.
Copenhagen interpretation is not that easy to debunk. It is not backed by any additional math beyond all of the quantum physics math that is solid but backs multiple interpretations.

In physics if something doesn't have its own math then it is just an opinion. You can't prove it, you can't debunk it, you can have different one. Ultimately it doesn't matter.

For me Copenhagen interpretation becomes absurd from the moment it states that observer matters. Each observer is just lots of particles and the fact that they arranged to have eyes and brain can't possibly matter for the basic laws of physics.
Obviously the camera system can track humans walking around, but does it actually identify specific individuals?

To be fair to Google (and I say that as a massive skeptic), they are diversifying their business model, most notably by offering cloud services and developer tools. At one point 98% of their revenue was from advertising, and probably they saw the writing on the wall that it was time to diversify. Google Cloud seems to be doing well. I’m not sure what the revenue breakdown is now, but also not sure we can entirely call them an advertising company anymore.

Important: Please note that I don't know the person behind the campaign and they don't know I'm posting this here, so send any questions you may have his way.

I came across a crowdfunding campaign, and one of the perks is for you and your team to learn from Professor Simon Stockley in a 2-day seminar for £3,000 (the real value of the seminar is £10,000). Professor Stockley works at Cambridge Judge Business School and his MBA course in entrepreneurship was ranked 3rd in the world in 2016 by the Financial Times.

I did some research, and the professor has advised well over 100 technology start-ups, so I thought it might be useful to post this here :)

Here's a link to the campaign: https://chuffed.org/project/succeed-at-oxford
Not sure if "successful", but https://newbusinessmonitor.co.uk/ makes me some pocket money — not nothing; half-way to "Ramen Profitable" — and was also accepted into the Advisory Track of this year's YCombinator Startup School which I'm quite proud of. I did a Show HN in May last year, and I can't believe how ugly and crappy the service was back then in comparison with how it is now.

This reminds me that I should document the history of projects I work on.
Git and Hg is similar, but that is not all there is to the DVCS space. Fossil target a different use case. Darcs have an entirely different underlying structure, which enables different abilities, especially during merging. I find it hard to believe that a single tool can be the best for

* Huge monorepos and thousands of developers
* Repos with huge binary files
* Repos with few developers
* Personal repos.
* CD repos
* Interconnected repos

Even if two different repository technologies are more or less equivalent, some things might be too cumbersome in one but not the other.

> What would the social credit score of Ghandi or Martin Luther Kind have been, at the time of their prominent actions?

Their scores would be low. That's the whole point of these systems. Surveillance and these metrics were never about making the world a better place, they're about identifying threats to the status quo so that they can be neutralized before they become impactful. A government's definition of 'terrorist' or 'threat' is not some shady guy that wants to blow up a train station, it's literally anyone who is a credible threat to how the current system runs, anyone who could conceivably change things in a manner not approved by those currently in power. You talk about Martin Luther King, then surely you're aware to what extents the government of the time went to try to shut him down.

All the major governments have invested billions of dollars into studying how uprisings and upsets happen, how to predict them, and how to curb them. The only figures that will now rise to public prominence are those that are vetted by the existing power structure.
Honestly what Google Analytics tells me is that much less people use ad blockers than various discussions suggest.

Sure, but that doesn't prove that the purpose of weather reporting is to alter forecasts for dramatic effect, just as the existence of sensationalist reporting doesn't justify the claim that the purpose of journalism is to divide society, advance political agendas and get people hooked on news. The effect of a process is not necessarily its purpose, nor the purpose of those involved in that process.

It's like saying all bankers are greedy, all politicians are corrupt, all doctors are stooges for big pharma, all police are psychopaths, etc. Maximal cynicism and minimal insight... it gets tedious after a while.

If he is not on a kill list, the US government should say so. If they don't want to give out person specific information, they can give a categorical statement like 'no US citizens on a kill list' or 'no US citizens in Syria'.

How do you get evidence that you are on a kill list anyway? The lists are top secret, maintained by world class intelligence agencies...

It's a delicate transition even when the civilians have actual full authority over the government (see: South Africa, or worse yet, Zimbabwe). But when Myanmar transitioned to the free elections which put Suu Kyi in power, the military specifically reserved a significant minority of seats in the legislature and maintained constitutionally-guaranteed independence from the civilian government.

On top of that, the military had been the only functional institution in Myanmar for over 50 years. During that time, there was no real court system, no free media, no private industry, and no significant educational institutions. Even before the military took over, the majority of the colonial government bureaucracy consisted of Indians that the British brought in with them, the vast majority of whom left with the British, gutting civilian institutions. The military controlled every aspect of everyone's lives. Their retreat from total control left an enormous institutional vacuum, with Buddhist monasteries left as the only nearly national stable institution (which has fed tensions with minority Muslim ethnic groups).

When I was working there a few years ago, people barely knew what the laws were for creating a corporation. No one knew how to verify who owned what land. The military suddenly allowed free press for the first time since the 1960s, and immediately a plethora of dubious publications sprung up to compete with the hilariously inaccurate government-run propaganda rag, the Light of Myanmar. People just weren't equipped to evaluate journalistic quality yet. So fundamental elements of a free society just weren't in place.

And the population was in many ways unprepared for democracy. Atrocious education and decades of propaganda make it difficult to rationally exercise democratic authority. Particularly when there are strong ethnic tensions, because the majority tends to abuse their authority to the detriment of the minority. Hence the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya.

So Suu Kyi is left in a tenuous position. She can't allow dissent within her own party without risking fragmentation and a loss to a military-centric coalition. She can't let her own party run wild without risking unfettered ethnic cleansing and a military backlash/coup if their special privileges are revoked.

This latest move is disheartening for many reasons, but more than anything it is evidence of just how desperate the situation in Myanmar really is, despite whatever brief optimism grew out of the nation's partial democratization.

The most jarring duplication I keep encountering is `Sidebar => Settings => CI/CD` vs. `Sidebar => CI/CD`. I understand they don't do the same thing, but the way it's presented, the sidebar is already the settings.

It is not just that. Listen what exactly he wrote: "If you want to say that you think something is a bad idea, you sugarcoat it to hell and back, focusing first on complimenting your counterpart on where you think they are successful."

Practically, lets say you are someone badly affected by that policy and attempt to participate. Your attempt to accurately describe how exactly it affects you, will make you seen as rude and inappropriate. You are trouble and will be treated as such.

Another part: "In public it’s different, here you’ll sometimes get heated for the audience, but you’ll still be beat friends once the cameras stop rolling."

Practically, if you attempt to participate, you will be show some spectacle of disagreement and conflict. Which is just show for audience, after which everyone will be back to euphemisms, sugar coating and nothing will change. Because it was show and none of it matters.

From what I've heard from him, he is probably not quitting speaking up his disagreements as soon as possible in any way. And actually, from what I saw, most of his mails are actually kind, factual and respectful.

Insult me, or someone else, or show some disrespect, I'll just leave / not come or get in your way because I can't stand it. Simple. Problem is, I'm sure there are competent people out there who's contributions are / would be valuable who are like me. There is no way around it.

You can still tell me I am doing something (badly) wrong in an efficient way. You should not hide this fact to me if you feel like I should be made aware about it. Just don't take the time to write that I should be retroactively aborted (well, actually, I personally found this idea incredibly funny, but this is still unwarranted and harmful,	especially when abortion is a sensitive subject for many people).

edit: Hurting people's feelings is probably unavoidable, but effort can be make to limit it.

One thing about the title, its not `xdotool` that does the pause/unpause, the `xdotool` is used only to get PID of active application with -a option.

Same with -s option where you will select the target window with `xprop` command.

The pause/unpause is done by the `kill` command of course.

Hey I've been following Dartlang's up and downs over the years, here are some ramblings about Flutter.

When the chrome guys started the Sky experiment, now the flutter project, they started with javascript. I don't know why they dropped javascript, but they looked at several languages before trying Dart. Here is a floss weekly episode with one of the co-founders, talks about flutter's hotreload, an idea that came from the Dart team.

https://youtu.be/2C-2-tU6LLY?t=22m19s

If swift was opensource back then they may have gone with it and if they started today they may have gone with kotlin native.

Flutter's hotreload feature, something that they didn't know they wanted, was created after they decided to give Dart a go. While the Dart team had missed the boat on getting the Dart VM into chrome, they still had their internal customers using Dart2JS. The Dart team also had their own experiments in IOT and running on IOS.

Maybe Sky/Flutter guys saw Dart solving their problems that Javascript couldn't and they also saw that the Dart team has the expertise to help them in advancing their experiment to where it is today.
With regard to footnote 7: As someone who has played a very small part in correcting some misconceptions about how airfoils generate lift, I find that I now have to apply some corrections the other way: there is necessarily a pressure difference across an airfoil if it is generating lift, and Bernoulli's equation does correctly describe the relationship between that difference in pressure and the equally real difference in local airflow speeds (up to airspeeds where compressibility is an issue, as Bernoulli's equation is only strictly correct for incompressible flows.) What was most wrong with the old explanations was the use of a fallacious 'equal transit time' argument in an attempt to explain the difference in speeds.
If someone has already looked at the source, would it be possible to get a high-level overview of what's special to this OS? Apparently, authorizations and isolation are not vanilla Linux, but that's all I manage to gather from the description.

edit Oh, I hadn't seen that document: https://docs.clip-os.org/clipos/architecture.html

So, container-based isolation between applications & users. I don't see anything about authorizations, though.

I did not have depression but was very stressed and generally agitated/unsatisfied/tired. This year I decided to take most of my yearly vacation in July, like many people here do. In the past I'd take 2 weeks at a time - this time I took 5 weeks. At the same time I read a book about the importance of sleep, which also explained that sleep deprivation leads to stress, anxiety, and other emotional and cognitive problems. During my vacation I practiced good sleeping habits which I maintain today. I think next year I'll take 4 weeks off instead of 5, but just pausing to take some time off and get my sleep in order has helped tremendously with stress and general life satisfaction.
tl;dr: this is a platform that tries to help open source developers and maintainers to get compensated for their work (something I haven't really seen solved yet).

> I'm glad she "married for love", but I don't see why it would be relevant

They're just making the point that she didn't marry him for his social credit score, even though he happens to have a high score under the system.

To quote the article immediately prior to that section:

"Who your friends and family are will affect your score. If your best friend or your dad says something negative about the government, you’ll lose points too. Who you date and ultimately partner with will also affect social credit."

It seems like your social credit score is positioned as your key to happiness. Better not get a bad one or associate with anyone who did. Better not wreck your child's future by saying something bad about the government.
Ok Google, please leave Gitlab alone!
This is not like the Black Mirror episode, Nosedive (or a similar episode of the Orville), because people aren’t rating others and scores aren’t known at all. The behavior changes from constantly rating and being rated by lots of subjective raters is what scared me in the episode.

This is similar to other risk or trust algorithm used by banks, healthcare, ctrfit agencies, email services, etc.

I think you shouldn't be so fast in judging people for what they use without understanding how they use it.

Twitter is completely fine and usable even if you only check it every few days, or only during your morning commute. Some people I know use Twitter maybe one day a month on average. I have no idea why you think you need to see everything on/constantly be on Twitter to use it.
Your sleep command could also iconify/minify the app's windows.
C++ had a purpose though, to create object oriented C. A lot of these modern languages seem to be mainly made because someone could.

With so many there is also a very low chance of any of them actually picking up because the useless ones drown out the C++es.

I think people should do what they want though. If you want to make a programming language you should, just don’t expect everyone to view your endeavors as useful.

As far as your fifth point goes, new languages aren’t a good way to influence programming in general. Stuff like lambdas weren’t born in some hipster language, they came from JavaScript. Because if you want to influence, you have to make sure people actually see your stuff.

That being said. Making a PL language is a much better use of your time than whining on HN.
Hopefully, it would increase pressure to actually port it there or to use another compiler like mrustc[0]
