I should have been more clear.

If you want to get into most any Samsung building in the world and especially their global HQ in Suwoon they make you install their security shit on any Windows laptops you've got. It blocks USB ports, prevents you from connecting to anything but corporate wifi, and disables any cameras amongst other things.

Once your business with samsung is done you can email someone (And I think it's literally only 1 guy for all of global samsung) and in a couple weeks they'll email you a one time code tied to some kinda hardware ID that you can use to uninstall the software from your machine.

I've got no reason to believe that Samsung is in kahoots with a nation state for any nefarious spying, I just resent being treated as a would be criminal.

That being said if you visit a Samsung office in China, just bring burner tech and throw it away before coming back.
I propose the term "forkworm", or perhaps "forxolotl"[1] for these processes that continuously reproduce but don't grow exponentially.

Be fair. They use normal language, make no attempt to explore any subtlety involved, and so its reasonable to take it at face value.

And at face value, it appears to be a pretty lame patch on an appearance of paganism (multiple gods, oh wait, its really one).

Right now source control applications don’t even detect simple merge conflicts based on meaning.

For example if I remove a global variable from a source file and another branch adds another reference to it, if it does not occur on the same line git will happily merge the file with no conflict.
Get a second opinion from a copyright specialist in the UK. If you were a US based company it would fall under the DMCA safe harbor as long as you were registered. I imagine the UK has something similar.

Things to check: Does the company actually own the copyright? When someone uploads an image does your privacy policy/terms of service indicate that you've been granted a license to use the photo OR at the very least does the uploader acknowledge that they have the right to the image? Is it possible that the uploader had been granted permission to use the photo inadvertently? Is the image in question actually the image that's copyrighted (the software used in rights management is often error prone). Was the image planted by the company?

Remember that you can negotiate the fee down, assuming they even bother to file a lawsuit.

The really important thing is to make sure that going forward you're protected from these types of complaints. This is what your current lawyer should have done when reviewing your terms and conditions, etc.
FWIW google divested itself of most of its robot investments, though there are still people at X (at least) working on autonomous systems.
Exactly.

Keep in mind, too, that China's Great Firewall was prototyped using "Western" technology and services.

This isn't just China. It reflects fundamental differences in what different organizations and interests want the Internet to be -- and not be.

But, China is making it a turnkey system, for those without the resources or wherewithall to do so for themselves.

Note also precursors, such as in and through the global market for oil. Autocracies propped up and sold military hardware in return for stable access.

Now, digital armament, in return for...

And remember, it started with Westerners, out to make a buck.

What I find interesting is that it supports access to an external wallet on your phone. This reduces the attack surface.

Another browser that has a wallet built in is Brave [1]. But afaik this does not support access to wallets on other devices.

People are perfectly capable of distinguishing between browsers and websites. For example, users have no problem logging into Facebook with Chrome.

Auto-signin only adds confusion. Many (most?) users have no reason to associate their browser with a Google account. This is something that Google is pushing unilaterally, just like Google+/YouTube integration. As an advertising company, they stand to benefit from more accurate user tracking.
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who got tired of algorithms noticing I'm listing to some classic rock and deciding a great move would be to introduce me to this band I may have never heard of called The Eagles.

I've noticed that YouTube (just plain YouTube, not the new YouTube Music) is actually decent at recommending music though. I played some songs by The Meters and Herbie Hancock, and through its recommendations I learned about the existence of Lafayette Afro Rock Band and learned that Prince made a funk/fusion album in 1977 before his pop stuff. I wonder if it's just using its regular video recommendation algorithm and not anything music specific, which might be a different approach than the music services.

EDIT: And by really strange coincidence, I just checked out Chirp, and the last song they played was by The Meters, and before that they played another band (Cymande) that YouTube recommended in the same session.

Not sure if this is a solution for you but you can have multiple Google account sessions in separate Chrome user sessions by clicking your user icon at the top then selecting to add people.
Is it not possible to limit your algorithm's maximum time change for each school? Say, capping the change at 1 hour, and finding the best result of that set of times. Even if it is not as good as the 100% optimized solution, it seems like more palatable while also being an improvement.

Presumably, you are already doing that, by limiting the start/end times from 7am-10am, or something similar. In this case, instead of a global time restraint, there would be a local time change restraint +-1 hour for each school.
Are you only populating those specific categories because I noticed what seems to be an intentional ignoring of comedy podcasts. Almost none of the Apple's top comedy podcasts are available through search and it doesn't appear to be divided by network. For example, there are plenty of NPR podcasts listed but Wait Wait Don't Tell Me isn't on there.

It is fine if you are planning on sticking to the "HN topics" type niches of tech, business, management, etc., but I am not sure I would use the Netflix comparison if you aren't aiming for a general audience.
Thanks, I don't use Chrome that much (or at all if I an avoid it) so that's interesting.

Still there are the claims of buybackoff that I linked above that options has been set without their consent.

So it seems to me there's either a muddy pattern or they even are tweaking things on behalf of users whitout even asking?

Edit: also this from the post we are discussing:

Here is a Time Magazine interview with the founder of Falun Gong.

> TIME: In your book [Zhuan Falun] you talk about people levitating off the ground but you say that they should not show other people. Why is that?

> Li: It is the same principle that Western gods in paradise should not be seen by ordinary mortals because they cannot understand its meaning.

> TIME: Have you seen human beings levitate off the ground?

> Li: I have known too many.

> TIME: Would you use qigong to cure an illness?

> Li: I can do all of this, but I won't do it.

> TIME: Why not?

> Li: Because I only teach people how to learn this dafa [great law] and to practice cultivation. I only teach the principles of fa to mankind. I won't do anything else.

He also talks about how aliens have come to Earth,

> TIME: Where do they come from?

> Li: The aliens come from other planets. The names that I use for these planets are different . Some are from dimensions that human beings have not yet discovered. The key is how they have corrupted mankind. Everyone knows that from the beginning until now, there has never been a development of culture like today. Although it has been several thousand years, it has never been like now.

> The aliens have introduced modern machinery like computers and airplanes. They started by teaching mankind about modern science, so people believe more and more science, and spiritually, they are controlled. Everyone thinks that scientists invent on their own when in fact their inspiration is manipulated by the aliens. In terms of culture and spirit, they already control man. Mankind cannot live without science.

> The ultimate purpose is to replace humans. If cloning human beings succeeds, the aliens can officially replace humans. Why does a corpse lie dead, even though it is the same as a living body? The difference is the soul, which is the life of the body. If people reproduce a human person, the gods in heaven will not give its body a human soul. The aliens will take that opportunity to replace the human soul and by doing so they will enter earth and become earthlings.

> When such people grow up, they will help replace humans with aliens. They will produce more and more clones. There will no longer be humans reproduced by humans. They will act like humans, but they will introduce legislation to stop human reproduction.

I for one like the fact that different national space agencies are going with completely different approaches. I doubt that the skycrane used for the NASA's Martian Science Lab mission could be accomplished on a shoestring JAXA budget. On the other hand, an asteroid sample return mission would've cost billions and taken decades if NASA had done it.

At the end of the day, we all take different paths but ultimately get to the same place. Humanity wins.
What a weird title. I don't disagree that the powers of America's tech giants are cause for concern, but what else would you expect these tech giants to do? Shouldn't we applaud them for investing to stay competitive? What would the author rather have them do with their money, more stock buybacks and executive bonuses?

Memory Allocators 101
I agree, you need mathematical insight too you can have that and still code as we do now without sacrificing a way to express solutions that consider things such as cache locality. With what he proposes, that’s simply not possible. There’s a very interesting talk by scott meyers about how important cache locallity is to the point where, in practice, for some problems, big oh analysis breaks because of cache misses. So an algorithm that is faster by those standars gets its ass kicked by a “slower” one just because of cache misses.

This doesn't really apply to C++, but I know that Sun was pushing very hard for Java in the early 90s, to the point of basically giving away hardware and course material to universities who would teach Java.
To be fair they are spending that money to make sure that other giant competitors can't compete.

It doesn't really affect the majority of startups or SMBs.

...or restore a full disk backup? actually, come to think of it, what's preventing you from playing along and installing their security rootkit, then reimage/reinstall os/swap hdd/switch boot partition once you get in? unless they can overwrite your computer's firmware and prevent it fro. being modified, its trivial to remove the rootkit.
It seems like this is the followup plan to the more or less failed attempts to defeat encryption directly by weakening it or by various key escrow schemes. That it, it seems like the actions of a government worried that if they do not step in and take power here, they risk leaving a power void that will get filled by someone else, such as a large tech company or a foreign government. Has insisting that crypto remain undefeatable fast-forwarded us to the rubber-hose cryptanalysis stage?

so you can be logged into 2 google accounts at the same time? two facebook accounts? two twitter accounts? IIRC multi-account containers work by domain name so they don't handle this case. Multiple profiles do, something which Chrome handles well and Firefox handles poorly
Congrats of launching!

Some suggestions:
Would be useful to see the descriptions for each episodes.
The save feature you mentioned, as well as some basic history of which episodes I've already heard, would be great as well.

I currently use the Stitcher podcast app and my favorite features are the offline-downloads and the "play this next" button for queuing up episodes. I've payed for Stitcher premium once since I use the product daily, but did not find much value added from it - if you can find some ways to offer value beyond what the existing apps are doing, there is a market to be had, though you certainly have some tough competition from Apple, Google, Spotify & the other apps, so I wish you the best of luck!
This makes me wonder, if there was a question about how to break US law, whether that post would be allowed to stand?

I suppose if it was informational, then it might be OK. But seeing how the government has gone after Backpage and other similar sites, I think anything that aids and abets it would be shut down.
Similar situation, though my girlfriend has borderline. It's a struggle, one that I occasionally wonder about the worthiness of, but I try to help her through her problems. I just wish I knew how to address the root issue.

Two years working in support trying to perform RCAs on arcane issues and I can't find an answer to why my girlfriend is angry sometimes. It's disheartening to say the least but I haven't given up yet.
I cannot get the first simple example working.

int main()
{
while (1) {
if (fork())
_exit(0);
}
return 0;
}

If I run `htop` immediately after typing `./a.out`, it shows a error,

Could not create child process - exiting
fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

However, if I wait a second or more, I cannot find `a.out` in the process list.
In a mature organization these are really good ways to expand your breadth and depth of knowledge. You can learn a lot about how things scale (or don't scale) based on design patterns and when things fail into the strange "that shouldn't happen" type category.

I would argue that muscle memory has less to do with speed or strength and more to do with 'remembering' motion. But of course this is just based off personal experience and intuition so I have nothing to back this up.

Unofficial Lego Advanced Building Techniques Guide (2007) [pdf]
While I think the article is pretty low quality I agree with the premise all the same. The internet as a whole is probably one of the least regulated markets you can find yourself in (ignoring the oncoming ISP problems for a second), and yet we see it dominated by a few large companies

What stops smaller search engines from competing? Or smaller social media alternatives to Facebook? To me I think the answer is simple: Once you reach a certain size you can continue to squash competition through sheer momentum. For the people who are more tech savvy we might switch to using DuckDuckGo or Vivaldi but even my parents who are nigh-illiterate when it comes to computers knows about Facebook, Google and Chrome. Heck, every time we tell someone to 'just Google it', we see how successful Google is with capturing mind share.
It really pisses me off that you are down-voted for this as it's all extremely valid reasoning that makes sense. You get shit on because of who you are at your core every day you walk this Earth, and with this code of conduct they are only expected not to shit on you with a minimal level of respect, but that seems too far a bridge for these assholes.

Windows has seen an officially reported install base as high as 1.5B. This was a few years ago; their numbers have taken a hit recently.

Considering the average annual revenue per U.S. Facebook user is ~$20, startlingly less in other countries, arguably Microsoft, not Facebook, is the more interesting company. Nearly as many active users as Facebook, but substantially more revenue per user (~$50-$150 for an OEM key? Add in office subscriptions, enterprise users, oh my) and substantially more "eye-time" (monthly active? once per month? ha. you used Windows the entire time you were on the PC). Arguably. I don't want to argue it. It's just a thought and it's not the point.

No one looks at Microsoft and thinks "they're going to absolutely dominate the home computing OS market in 2030." They owned the planet and they threw it away. At best they'll remain a second-rate player in the cloud market, riding the ripples of their 90s enterprise clients until those die out as well.

Meanwhile Apple and Google ate their cake. No one saw that coming in 2001. Wait, the company that nearly went bankrupt and now makes that really bad MP3 player, and... Google who? Hold on let me AltaVista that. The companies that are, today, worth almost nothing are worth a combined $2T in just 17 years? What the hell happens to the US Dollar in the next decade?!

Shit changes, and it changes overnight. Sometimes literally, most of the time just "faster than you expect". The only thing you can bet on is that "active users" means about as much as the moon landing conspiracy theories.

Show HN: Axonotes – Read it later library with Spaced Repetition
I've been working on this side project(http://www.axonotes.com) for some time. It is a read it later library with spaced repetition for enhancing learning and recall. Most of the flash card applications out there force you to turn information in "back/front" form. With Axonotes, my plan is to to make it easier to integrate spaced repetition while you are reading something with minimal overhead. You can also use it as a read-it-later library.

Currently, you can save full web pages using the Chrome Extension, organise them in books, annotate important stuff to make cards out of it, and be reminded to review your saved content using spaced repetition algorithm. In future, I plan to support more file formats like pdf, doc etc.

Any constructive criticism is deeply appreciated. Thanks for taking a look.

Heads up: Currently you need to sign up (Google) and download the chrome extension to start saving full web pages. I realise it is a pain, will work on something that allows easier trials.
If you have slow patches, you're slow. If you have fast patches, the work must have been easy, right?
> Doesn't every freaking mainstream technology suck? I regularly come across rants from significant developers regarding this issue. There probably is no way to prevent this from happening. Because worse is unfortunately better.

Web technology is fundamentally different in that you have a big standards body regulating everything from layout down to color blending, then leave it up to multiple vendors to implement all that stuff at great expense and with long delay. Worse, it's all shoehorned on top of some "document model" than was never designed with applications in mind. It's a waste.

To see what a better platform could look like, consider this:

The key here is reducing surface area. It's entirely possible that WASM will bring us closer to that, but the web developers of today probably won't like that.

> I regularly and seriously consider to leave software development because of this (as I'm really suffering) but then I remember how much power it gives me despite the horrible faults it has.

I don't know what you do, but I find web development to be significantly more frustrating than other areas. That doesn't mean there isn't frustration elsewhere though and it's definitely part of the job.
