In this case the music industry was rational (although wrong) as 100% of $14 in 1999 is better than 75% of $4B in 2016. [0] Now there’s a more diverse revenue stream for musicians and there’s inflation to consider, but in this case the music industry was acting in their best interest. One or two companies (Apple) came out ok, but the industry would have been stupid to internally decide to give up $11B in revenue. It’s possible that they could have figured out a new model, but unlikely as we aren’t anywhere near record revenue much less higher. Society is better off, but the industry sucks.

That’s why it is up to external forces to disrupt. It’s not rational for an industry to destroy itself. Only certain companies can survive when you have a big shift in revenue.

Terrorists are already using Drones to attack people[1]. ISIS are buying and perhaps using drones in Europe[2]. Unfortunately, this means drones will need to be regulated like they are weapons, because they are used as weapons.

Interesting take on the matter. Certainly access to firearms is a discussion worth having in society, but gun control isn't the subject of the proposed bill-nor is it the subject of this thread.
Which video studio plugins did you need to do development?

100/day isn't that bad when you consider that there's >300 million people in the country and how much of a hair trigger some busybodies are on when it comes to reporting stuff to the government.

100/day is on the same order as the amount of "doing X while black" or "teenagers looking sketchy" complaints that get called in to local police departments across the country. You just don't hear about them because they're thinly distributed to local PD's across the country..

If only 100 people/day are complaining to the government about something then that something isn't a problem.

It likely has to do with your IP address. Two possibilities that I can think of:

1) You are all on a VPN that's hosted at AWS or another cloud provider. Google assumes you to be a bot based on the IP address being in a data center.

2) Someone is doing a lot of scraping through a computer in the office, which triggered Google to flag your office IP address for bots (which in this case would technically be correct)
100% of the conversations on this website come from subreddits (main ones listed in another comment here). Overall I also monitor some forums, hacker news, and others for https://projectpiglet.com which identifies company insiders then recommends trades.

I donno, I'm an electrical (non-medical) engineer and I think I would wager on the "false positive costs outweigh the new screening benefits" side.

This is one of the coolest web projects I've seen lately. Great job!

> Increasingly, activities that could perfectly happen off-line – such as writing a document, filling in a spreadsheet, or storing data – are now requiring continuous network access. This does not combine well with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, which are not always available.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned progressive web apps. This seems like a perfect use-case for them.

On a related note, I just found this research showing that Service Workers (on which PWAs are built) "do not have a significant impact over the energy consumption of [mobile] devices, regardless of the network conditions." [0]

Long gone are the days of needing only a Technician class radio license to operate FCC uncertified radio and video transmission gear, strapped onto a cheap foam RC plane from China, piloted by a human with nothing more than a controller, video goggles, and an antenna to achieve mile-long distances and thousand foot heights.

THAT was the wild west.

I think it's totally unrealistic to compare the average coding gig with writing a custom JIT from scratch for Google. In most businesses the difference between 'very good' and 'world class' won't have a large enough impact to spend the extra resources getting that rockstar.

And then there is the issue of actually retaining top talent...
Reminds me of how concentration camp life is described Man's Search for Meaning[0]. The prisoner's could tell when someone was about to die if they noticed them refuse to get up for work for the day or smoke their cigarettes (which were used for currency rather than smoking). This reflected them giving up hope and they would usually pass within a few days.

Worse, Roundup (what's actually being sprayed) is likely causing even more damage than what these glyphosate (just one "active" ingredient) studies are suggesting since other studies demonstrate a significant difference in effect of the cocktail vs just the "active" ingredient

You should have to undergo some kind of training. It's wildly routine to see drone pilots flying at the end of a runway because they didn't realize the runway was there and they didn't know aeronautical charts exist and/or how to read them. Buying a flying battery pack doesn't entitle you to circumvent airspace rules and endanger lives and property.

Beyond that, there's nothing stopping a commercial entity from ensuring that there are enough baseline hosts in the DHT network from always on.
Another point most folks seem to be missing: even if you are screened early by one of these devices, it's not at all obvious that subsequent early treatment will deliver extra benefit. It's even less obvious that the extra benefit of early screening and treatment will outweigh the high false positive (and therefore possible overtreatment) costs.
Yeah, very surprising. Perhaps companies lose the ability to get this stuff done as they grow larger.

An even more shocking example is Transferwise, supposedly a cutting-edge star of the "fintech" scene. They use SMS-based codes, a wildly insecure form of OTP. Over a thousand employees and they cannot even implement some sort of app-based TOTP (such as Google Authenticator) to protect their clients' money.
Quelle surprise.

I bet plausible deniability is that they call them by a different name internally.

Information brokers are so sketchy – it makes me so sad that the coolest tech companies are also some of the sketchiest.

Do you remember back when the internet and web were all so full of promise? Instead we got tech behemoths that would put Standard Oil and AT&T in their day to shame.

I assume it's language from the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 [1] and specifically § 45509.

Among the requirements for recreational use is "(7) The operator has passed an aeronautical knowledge and safety test described in subsection (g) and administered by the Federal Aviation Administration online for the operation of unmanned aircraft systems and maintains proof of test passage to be made available to the Administrator or law enforcement upon request."

> Honestly, "create new prestigious journals from scratch" sounds far easier...

What used to be "prestigious" has come to mean "high impact factor", mostly because funding agencies needed an "objective" way to grant funding, and being run by bureaucrats, they picked impact factor as a measure of scientific success. For a Journal Of Replications to have impact, researchers would have to cite papers about replications. But that's not expected; you cite the original paper, not the one that replicates a result, and you never hear about the one that failed to reproduce a result.

I don't see that approach working, but I'd like to see someone try it.

I think it was pretty good, but it failed to leave a lasting impression. Maybe I have just seen too many similar things.
In Maine we get the French-Language version of CBC, and they had near-constant coverage of more than just Canada. Even though I barely understand more than a few dozen words in French, it was better than watching NBC.

I second the request for the .UK TLDs.
The struggle is being self-aware enough to know whether or not you're being a curmudgeon stuck in the past. For example, I used to hate the new direction of the Ninja Turtles after the original cartoon and movies. But a lot of people love it. It's not even bad, on reflection. I was just mad they changed something I had a lot of good, even foundational memories attached to. I formed new memories and moved on.

I have no problem with the direction of Star Trek. I was never into Star Wars, but I have few complaints about what I've seen. I have never seen an episode of Dr. Who, but a supernatural boyfriend with a magic wand sounds great! You made it sound appealing to me.
aha. Thanks for that!

Of all the reasons to avoid Google, this seems to me like the biggest one that ironically is rarely addressed. If a malicious user flags your account as being in violation of Google's ToS, then all of your Google accounts are at risk of being terminated with no appeal process, no information, and no substantiated hope of recovery. And as far as I understand it, that includes the serious possibility of total data loss from all Google services.
Snowplow Analytics has server side trackers among several others.
Thanks for the history lesson. Yea, all seems pretty shitty, whether any incident succeeded or failed, or someone got kicked out or just put in the basement.

Interesting that all of these seemingly sprung out of some private action becoming publicly known, rather than the person's behavior on the project/job itself (as for Drupalgate, you claim he brought his fetish into technical events, but nothing I've read about it corroborates that).
>The group looked at how nine browsers—Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Brave, Focus, Dolphin, Opera Mini, and UC Browser—handle access to motion, orientation, proximity, and light sensors. They found that all of them allow web pages to access motion and orientation sensors without permission.

>the researchers also found about 1200 sites [of the top 100,000 Alexa rated sites] that seemed to be using sensor data to aide tracking and analytics-gathering or audience recognition. And 63 percent of the scripts the researchers analyzed that access motion sensors also fingerprint browsers for tracking.

Before :) -- They were looking for the antibiotics to possibly save me from the surgery, which was my request when I was told what the treatment approaches could be.

The thinking there is likely part of what saved my life. They put a thing in the huge vein in my neck at the point I opted to attempt to avoid surgery that was used to directly deliver the antibiotics to the brain.
The hobby can be dangerous. Overall, it isn't problematic, but there are a few drone hobbyists that ruin it for the rest, frequently due to lack of training. There's the person who hit the Space Needle [0], the person who crashed their drone mid-day in SF after they lost connection with it and it almost hit people walking on the sidewalk [1]. The ease of buying one and being able to use it means it's possible to fly it without having any knowledge of all the ways it could go wrong.

I use Org Babel in Emacs as a "REPL", and an Org Babel package for Nim exists: ob-nim[0], and it's awesome.

For folks uninitiated about Org Babel, it allows one to write small code snippets and quickly evaluate the results and have them inserted below. I keep a nim-scratch.org handy to quickly try out new snippets. Unlike traditional REPL's, this approach allows me to keep on saving new snippets and their results too!

Here's how it looks: https://i.imgtc.com/FAnay93.png

Illustration, music and dance have been studied for thousands of years, but you can still tell who’s passionate about them from an early age: they do unskilled {drawing, singing, dancing} for fun. Even though there is basically no chance of their work having an impact on anyone at their skill level, they still do it. Mostly because their parents and teachers tell them nothing about how their work measures up by objective standards, instead encouraging them and appreciating anything that demonstrates growth in their skills compared to previous pieces.

I don’t see why programming is any different. There’s not much difference between a crude drawing of a house in crayon, and a crude Pong clone in Scratch.

Yes and yes. From the manual:

> If none of its parameters have the type var T or ref T or ptr T this means no locations are modified. It is a static error to mark a proc/iterator to have no side effect if the compiler cannot verify this.

I'm not sure how many compiler optimizations are possible, but I do know that procs marked with no side effect are automatically considered thread safe.
Car analogies are always good. Well, cars must undergo heavy certification and testing before being allowed on public roads. Operators must undergo certified training and be certified before operating cars on public roads. Every car is registered and tracked with a visible marking. Cars are limited in how fast they can go, and how much emissions they can have and more.

I believe these kinds of measures will be put in place for drones as well: only certified drones with enforced technical limitations of speed and height, certified operators only ,and remotely visible (rfid) license plates.

People use all manner of electronics to build detonation devices for bombs. Do you want to regulate cell phones and alarm clocks like weapons too?

Drones are too easy to build and conceal to effectively prevent determined attackers from getting them and using them. Regulations are aimed at preventing accidents and nuisance incidents, not terrorism.
I'm curious what where the problems? It's imho straight forward.
His Hedge Fund bought a bunch of Sears debt and he took an activist investment which meant becoming CEO of Sears, in order to make his investment valuable.

Sears just happens to be a household name that is getting a lot of discerning eyes on it.
I think part of parent's point is that you're probably in the minority. I don't have data to back this up, but I suspect that the users who make up the "long tail" of web traffic tend to visit a higher number of websites than the vast majority of users who mostly stick to the "walled gardens."
There are certainly benefits for the company but between predominantly revenue-centric attitudes and a lot of poorly trained "senior" engineers I wouldn't trust the majority of companies (outside of Google, Apple, Netflix, and other great engineering orgs) to do it well. Independent schools dedicated to progressing the craft and tools would benefit more, I think.
I think this piece is excellent. I'm shocked it's getting attention on HN - not usually the place I go for my anti-capitalism screeds.

I don't know if I agree with the author that neoliberalism (or capitalism, which I think is closer to what she's really talking about) is the cause of all the ills she mentions, mainly because I don't think we should frame it that way. "Neoliberalism bad, [other system of choice] good" is not the way to consider it. As bad as neoliberal democracy/captialism is, would she rather live in autocratic China or feudal medieval England? The question isn't whether the current system is bad, it's whether there exists a demonstrably better system we can now attempt to implement.

I think, at least for the United States, the answer to that question is very much so, yes. It's called socialism, and most all the other democratic societies are already doing it. It also doesn't necessarily mean the end of capitalism, so much as an adjustment to the rules and formula.
Maybe, it doesn't change the fact that it's not privacy by default, because that would require having the user explicitly opt in to the syncing of the two sessions. That has nothing to do with wether they actually collect or transmit any data.

Ending the Aerial Wild West implies that the wild west is no more. There are plenty of places to buy drone parts, controllers, etc... that do not require any registration. Would it perhaps be more accurate to say, that the wild west is slightly limited to true hobbyists and terrorists? Would such regulations just limit the average person from buying their "toy" drones? The drone hobbyists that I know are not impacted by this. They use 3d headsets and race their drones through buildings up to 6 miles away.
Does it allow offline audio-only too ?
I love the initiative and the execution. Nice job! I feel like I'm becoming a bigger fan of brutalist web design all the time. :)
SQL Server actually does have full column-oriented storage. They just call it a columnstore index but it's not a true index and it will turn the whole table into column-oriented compressed data files. It originally didn't support any updates in v2012 because of this, but now has evolved and can even combine it with in-memory option to support in-memory columnstores that support constant real-time updates.
Google Suite starts at $5 per email address per month; I think asking for free email accounts is beyond the product offering of domain registration/renewal.

And they probably want to reserve usage of their domain for email so you know it's a staff member you're dealing with, which is why google gives away gmail.com addresses, not google.com addresses.

Here are three less expensive email options for you:

1. get a VM and install exim/postfix

3. AWS workmail https://aws.amazon.com/workmail/
The rich of back then had big houses too. It's not some increase in greed, just an increase in accessibility. I don't see the need to ascribe negative traits like greed to wanting more space in any case.
