Don't count on it. From the Gizmodo article:

> I’ve been trying to get Facebook to disclose shadow contact information to users for almost a year now. But it has even refused to disclose these shadow details to users in Europe, where privacy law is stronger and explicitly requires companies to tell users what data it has on them. A UK resident named Rob Blackie has been asking Facebook to hand over his shadow contact information for months, but Facebook told him it’s part of “confidential” algorithms, and “we are not in a position to provide you the precise details of our algorithms.”
They shouldn't be able to access each other's cookies at the browser's level, but instagram.com might include third-party javascript code from facebook.com, which connects the two accounts in the system.
The situation is such that this is what's expected of Facebook. It would be a shocker if Facebook didn't do this. Actually, it's quite surprising that it took so long to do this.

Bottom line, Facebook will devalue you as a human and invade your privacy in any manner possible for as long as it can withstand legal pressures and get away with paltry fines. Obviously, all these measures are to provide users with a better experience. That's Facebook's DNA.
As someone who attended AA meetings for a few months when my depression/anxiety/substance abuse was getting out of control I have to agree with this.

A couple of the chapters were fine, and listening to people tell stories of their experiences was great, but there is a heavy cult-like vibe pushed on you relentlessly at most.

They parrot on about the fact that you are helpless to effect change in your own life and without the group, you will inevitably drink again.

That turned me off completely and I never went back. Still haven't had a drink in a year since either.
Edge and Safari are barely relevant and my argument applies equally to them. Chrome is just a few patches on top of Chromium, but again my argument aplies - no one should be using given that Chromium is basically the same.
Since having a child, and seeing my friends and sibs having children I have come to the conclusion that there is a large degree of our personalities are "hard-wired". It's amazing how each child comes out differently with their own personality right off the blocks. You typically see invariant characteristics persist through life. To me this is "the real you", the aspects of your personality that are with you throughout your life.

If I had to put a figure on it, to avoid argument I'd say it accounts for between 30 and 50% of your behaviour. The rest is shaped by social conditioning, life experiences and the environment we find ourselves living in. But even these could be said to be mediated in some part by the initial 30%.
It's more than that. The mind doesn't have the mental capacity to hold all of yourself at once, so when interacting with others you become fused with current role and it becomes almost impossible to juggle other roles with current one. There are many psychology studies of internal conflict when you are forced to play two or more roles at once (for example, introducing your parents to girlfriend/boyfriend). A balanced person therefore needs to have goals of different roles aligned.
I believe you're mistaken. The article is saying that there are two versions of Java, and one has the license that you mentioned while the other is free and open source. From that article:

https://blog.joda.org/2018/09/do-not-fall-into-oracles-java-...

> As well as their commercial JDK, Oracle produce an OpenJDK build. It is $free, zero-cost and GPL licensed (with Classpath exception so safe for commercial use). Download $free Java here: https://jdk.java.net/11/

jdk.java.net/11 in turn says:

> This page provides production-ready open-source builds of the Java Development Kit, version 11, an implementation of the Java SE 11 Platform under the GNU General Public License, version 2, with the Classpath Exception.
But for an SEO like me, I will really get a hard time dropping google as it still control almost the powerful SERPFs in the net. Will still find better ways and start re-evaluating things as an alternative, anyone here with suggestion will be very much welcome and appreciated. cheeky moves. Might as well just use it doing business related things and use firefox as personal browser.
Great news! Seems like I (not a doctor but probably the most medically-qualified person in any group of random people that doesn't include anybody with actual medical education) probably won't end up doing an appendectomy on anybody after I move to a deep rural area...
If anyone caught Derek Delgaudio's Off-Broadway show "In and Of Itself", he dealt with this concept. Great show, limited run just ended recently.
Wasn't one of the conditions to get the deal approved by EU regulators to NOT share any data between services? [0] Did they just restart it because they found reprieve or simply decided to ignore the regulation?

Edit. Also this [1]. Does GDPR suddenly open the door for sharing this data "legitimately"?

Actually a fellow on HN the other day demonstrated that you could decompile their APK and inspect the code, so you can make a pretty solid attempt to verify product statements if you have the skill and the time.

Also, I think we're cross talking about their statements--I can't divine anything specific from what they say, but their answers (esp. Sandbergs non-answer) seem supportive of other things I've seen claiming the encryption they're using is leaking business analytical information to FB on purpose (effectively undermining the lay understanding of end-end encryption).

BTW That situation in Australia is saddening.
seems a shade pricey by comparison to other services most other similar services ive seen are around $30 for the top package this is significantly more expensive (the lowest package is more expensive than either parsec or liquidsky to name only a few) but doesnt seem to offer a reason why

It’s cool to have some mathematical rules of thumb to describe crowds and so on if it is backed up by experimental data.

I did an economics undergrad. One thing that really frustrated me about the whole subject was how they kept calling it a social “science” and yet there was no experiment or predictions. Everything was a retroactive explanation for something, e.g. the financial crash or the affect of a minimum wage. Where’s the predictions? Another thing that bothered me was that often it felt like they were introducing maths to make it all seem a bit more legit: like solving integrals for second-price bid auctions or describing utility functions and so on. But that was always just a cute model with no experimental evidence to back it up.

Basically, I think social sciences should stop calling itself a science unless they start making predictions. And they should make it more like statistics and psychology classes. Evidence is king.

I knew about this 'misunderstanding' that most people have about AA and its 'higher power' thing.

I actually attended meetings though, and their 'unreligious process' is actually anything but.

Definitely location tracking of some sort. IP, location data from the browser (if allowed), and scraping photo metadata can all lead to them associating people.
An appendectomy might be easier than procuring the necessary antibiotics in a deep rural area, depending on how rural....
I believe there is a purposeful propaganda war being directed against Google and Facebook here on HN and elsewhere in the media. I am not sure who is behind it, but my best guess would be Russia or China as they would have interest in this. Most of these posts against them are very flimsy, but they get huge upvotes.
Well, you can (kinda) do that if you have "direct access" to positions in the stack, so for example, say `add s[0],s[3]` (I think x87 had something like that)
> I still think that science should be automated in some way, shape or form.

Meaning what?

> I'm imagining something like you have a dataset and you have to upload that dataset to some third party that checks it for it's validity.

The results are what they are. What is 'validity' meant to mean?

> Of course, this is a completely silly idea but I'd love to know if someone has like any tangential related thoughts on this

Quantitative studies are already published with the proper analyses, which are invariably produced 'automatically' using software, not manual methods.

I imagine there might be some value in publishing raw data, though. There may sometimes be questions like privacy, but I don't imagine they'll always be show-stoppers.

We went also from Unifi APs indoor gear to Ruckus gear. The difference is like night and day. I don't understand why, but we never had luck with the Unifis or Ubnt indoor. The Ruckus units we deployed just work brilliantly from the beginning.
Wait? Did somebody ever doubt this? I always believed collecting phone numbers for their marketing needs is exactly the reason why do any of the social networks ever introduce SMS auth.
That sounds more into the range of a severe anxiety disorder, "dissociation" rather than compartmentalisation.

I say it's a quick and easy way to put some things out there.
I'm in the middle of rebuilding my own online feed reader (converting it from old asp to php) and as such I've been doing a fair bit of online reading about the current state of RSS.

There are many sites out there promoting RSS, but they are all islands of their own content. If this initiative of getting RSS more visibility is to succeed then either someone needs to link to all the sites (like a webring or index of sorts), or they all need to get together to cross promote themselves.

From the Australian Government - Department of the Environment and Energy, Australian Antarctic Division:

The answer is no, however doctors who are wintering at Australian Antarctic stations are required to have their appendix removed. This is because there is usually only one doctor on station during winter, and evacuation back to medical care in Australia is impossible for at least part of the year. The requirement dates from the 1950s, when an Australian Antarctic doctor developed appendicitis on Heard Island and required a very challenging evacuation back to Australia.

In 1961 a Russian doctor successfully removed his own appendix at Novolazarevskaya station in Antarctica. With no outside help possible, he used local anaesthetic and had two expeditioners assist with surgical retractors and a mirror so that he could see what he was doing. The operation was a success and the doctor was back on duty within two weeks. It's not a situation that Australian Antarctic doctors would like to find themselves in!

As part of their overall medical review, all expeditioners are required to have a dental check before they depart for Antarctica within six months of their departure date. There is no requirement for expeditioners to have their wisdom teeth removed unless the dentist identifies that they may cause a problem over winter. The station doctor has eight days of training in emergency dentistry as part of their preparation, but this does not include wisdom teeth extraction.

The practice version did, but name collisions got too confusing (W and H is fine for width and height, but then I wanted horizontal and vertical velocity...). I thought it was clearer to give up completely and use the notepad instead.

Your problem is using the same SSID for both frequencies. Have a single SSID for all your 5Ghz APs and another for the 2.4Ghz ones.
I'm not the OP but I moved from UBNT to Mikrotik for two reasons:

- When it comes to SFP, UBNT's wired gear is unreliable. See https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeRouter/EdgeRouter-X-SFP-le... for an example.

- My only experience with UBNT's support was exceptionally poor. When I ran into the above issue, I was using a third party SFP module and support stonewalled me, saying I had to buy one of their modules. They wouldn't loan me one or guarantee a refund if the module didn't resolve the issue. Unsurprisingly, buying their module didn't help at all (though they finally let me RMA the equipment).

Mikrotik's gear has been solid for me. Zero problems whatsoever.

> Oracle clearly seem interested only in trying to exploit Java developer and users.

Oracle are just not giving users of obsolete, deprecated versions of Java free patches anymore. They want everyone to keep up to date with the current version. The likes of Apple, Microsoft and Google just force push updates to achieve the same goal, but Oracle doesn't have that kind of control.

Yet even though Oracle don't want to support old versions anymore, they still offer support contracts for those organizations that truly need it. Which is a completely normal thing in the tech industry. What part of that is exploitation?
Yes. I think I could have excelled in other areas. As a programmer I'm just average or below average.

I was quite motivated and bright in my youth, and could have picked a number of careers where I had some skills. Decided to go with programming because I was excellent in math (and liked it), and wanted to do something applied instead of teaching. Coming from a poor background, I had ZERO knowledge about what programming is really like as a career, and what other applied math careers exist out there. I thought if you study math, you become a teacher. There were also other areas besides math that I liked and excelled at, so I could have picked a number of those.

So when I started with CS, I was already late in the game compared to others who started younger, had very little support in my learning and no peers to connect with as a woman in 90's/early 00's. It resulted in stumbling around a lot in my career and ending up as a probably below average programmer. Also realized too late that it's going to be very hard to find any math-intensive work as a programmer unless you hold a PhD.

Add to that some discrimination - I think young girls today have it a bit better than before, but women above 35, moms? Not many people want that. I had to remove my picture from LinkedIn because it got me less recruiter hits WITH a professional picture.
Many people in the US government actively want censorship tools to be created to police copyright infringements. From a software perspective, at least, it's basically the same thing: slurp up all the media and remove ones that aren't allowed under the ruleset.

Megacorporations are a massive threat to democracy.

If we ever get into a situation where the only companies that exist are megacorps, democracy will cease to exist; not only that but it will be impossible to reform the system in the future. The government will be too weak to regulate companies and people who work at those companies will not be able to protest for change because if they lose their jobs, there will be no alternative jobs for them to survive on.

It will be permanently locked in this dysfunctional state until the end of humanity.
The issue is not with encryption, the subjects are still relevant. What I meant is that the state of the art has changed, the situation has evolved and I would have liked to read the author's opinion on it.

Of course not, that's utter nonsense.
Would it be reasonable to define the real me as simply the perpetually mutating sum of all those things?
Loved this a lot :)

Thanks a lot for making this. A couple of small suggestions (do proceed ahead with them if they make sense):

Add Android feed readers in the navigation menu.

Also allow folks to suggest good sites (Add my site or even a simple trello board will do) that have good content and also RSS support.

All you have to do now is to curate the site submitted and make more of really usable starter packs.
same here... my "work" personality is so much different than "home" or "friends" personality. And the real me is somewhere in between.
When I'm with friends I have problem with compulsivnes, I am really care-free etc.... When i'm at work I'm 100% serious, I dont make jokes, I dont make fun of myself etc... I really noticed this when i started working full time so I am 100% serious person half of the day instead just sometimes and it shows in my "home" and "friends" personality
I might be misremembering, but isn't overloading on immutability what C++ does with the const keyword on member functions? e.g.

struct Foo {
A bar(); // If the instance is non-const.
A bar() const; // If the instance is const.
};

Of course this is C++ so it's up to you to make sure that all the types contained in your object are also immutable when they're const-ed (e.g. avoid pointers). And the mutable keyword is a backdoor.

Or perhaps you wanted to be able to change the representation (e.g. member variables) of your type based on whether it's mutable or not? Although in that case I'd probably go with an interface.

It's true about videos, but this was never intended as a technical resource. Instead I wanted to show how working on one of these machines felt.

I showed this video to some work-mates, mostly younger than I am, and some of the questions I got were really revealing: 'Does it boot into Basic?' 'But if there's no disk, where does it put the compiled program?' These machines are _completely alien_ to the modern mindset, and so I wanted to actually demonstrate working on one in practice, rather than just write it up. There's plenty of technical docs out there already.
So what's the advantage of Intercept, what can it do that tools like Charles can't? Honest question, I expect it can be smarter being at that level, but less generic and unable to intercept apps that haven't been modified as a consequence.
Being a person fairly interested in medical science and lacking insurance I always take care to have some antibiotics for just a case (I ask friends from Russia to get them for me, you can buy antibiotics without prescriptions there) although I hardly ever use any actually. Needless to say, I'm going to take quite a selection with me when I travel to some place where they're hard to get and there are no doctors around. By the way one should better have antibiotics ready when performing this kind of surgery or chances are their patient is going to die of sepsis.
