I'm going to venture a guess that you've never run an ad campaign before. If you had, at least a mainstream digital one, you'd find that deceptive tactics don't work all that well. People using them do it to get access to the most vulnerable set of people, who aren't usually people companies are competing to advertise to. If I make an ad that implies you'll get something free, for example, and you click on it to find no free offer, you bounce. That makes my ad unsuccessful, more expensive, and less likely to win auctions.
This isn't just taking their IP, this is taking their effort, modifying slightly and then reselling. It seems intellectually dishonest to take a copy of a movie, put a new opening scene on it and then sell it again.

Yeah, I often do that myself, but it's not as convenient for a quick one-off data exploration.
RAPPOR relies on differential privacy only, including to protect the privacy of individual inputs; by necessity this limits the utility of the output. With Prio the inputs are protected cryptographically, which means you can have higher utility outputs (i.e. you can add less noise and achieve the same level of differential privacy). Combining DP and MPC techniques like Prio is an interesting research topic at the moment and comes up in a lot of "secure aggregation" settings.

Raising the price = limiting to the privileged (moneyed) few.

Creating a reserve / national park / protected area = limiting access to the privileged (science-related, or just well-connected) few.

There's no way that everyone who would not mind to visit a carnival in Venice could fit the city, if getting there was free and instant. This is a fact of life, and I personally am fine with it.

> I don't think it breaks the concept of pipes. I think it breaks the concept of _pipelines_.

Fair enough.

> I don't see why a pipeline should be unidirectional though.

Piplines usually only carry material from one side to the other :) (yes, pneumatic ones are different :)) It's part "just because that made sense at the time" and partially because it does make sense: Give data to A, take the output and process it, give that to C, &c.

However, a bidirectional, or even multiple, pipe would have some advantages, such as signaling.
I think Apple are clearly capable of making a phone with TouchID, they only want to make phones with FaceID.

I don't really understand why you'd want TouchID over FaceID, have you used an iPhone with FaceID longterm? I have had a X from day one, FaceID does have its short comings like having to pick it up to use it (or lean over your phone) but overall it is much better, and had use cases TouchID can't be used in - just getting out of the shower for instance.

I think Apple want screens on their laptops to be as thin as possible, they can fit in a camera for FaceTime, but cannot fit a FaceID sensor, hence why the laptop have TouchID and not FaceID.

Jupyter is lovely (and JupyterLab looks delicious), but the set up required to achieve a reproducible local server with the R kernel and versioned R packages is 100% not.

Installing R packages through anaconda is like pulling teeth and the docker images for my Jupyter notebooks push past 6GB and take multiple cups of tea to build.

Is there a good solution I'm missing? A good hosted solution perhaps?
Hmm, that "and" clause makes this interesting: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..." -- so you are a citizen if you are born here and subject to the law. So if you opt out of being subject to the law you don't get to be a citizen but you can't be arrested for burglary and the like?
It hasn't, though. There's at least two different organizations that work to concretely operationalize what "open source" means. People may be confused about the term, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying to educate about it, and it definitely doesn't mean we should let other people go on polluting the ontological space with garbage that seems intentionally designed to confuse.
I'm considering it as a mid-tier machine to run ableton/logic on as well as hopefully play some not-too-demanding games through Wine.

If you're going to create a fake account to promote your items, you could give your items 5* and then copy other reviews on other products exactly (including # of *s) to make the account look more legitimate.

No you are conflating two different meanings of "abuse". The definition we should be talking about is: [verb] treat (a person or an animal) with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly.

I believe that is what the parent comment is talking about.
Completely agree. The 'indie web' folks have this right.
I won't argue about off topic issues, but I don't think mass tourism is killing any sights. Ignorance kills natural sights, over advertisement kills human created sights.

Nearby Venice there's so much interesting stuff and small cities, a bit further are big cities. None of them really struggles with tourists as much as Venice. Maybe you'll see a huge line for Firenze Duomo but that's it, streets and other sights are practically lineless.

Why Florence struggles with Duomo and Venice struggles in general? Because they're famous all over the world for things they're struggle with. Everyone know about floating city of Venice, and Florence's Cathedral. Those things are being romanticised for centuries.

All Italy has to do is start load balancing tourists. Advertise other sights in the area, build easier public commute to other stuff. They have means to do so, they have tourism ad budget, they have 'city_name' cards which grant discounts to different sights.

I've been to Croatia this summer, they are struggling with Dubrovnik too. But most beautiful things are not there. Plitvice is like heaven and past 2pm I was walking there practically alone, Split's old city is as beautiful as Dubronik's and except 12-2pm is not crowded, beaches in Makarska and on Hvar are way more scenic and comfortable than Italy's and there's no crowds.

Go other places or rot in queues of over advertised sights.
tl;dr: if you run untrusted code from malicious actors, bad things will happen.

Nothing new here.
Maybe it's because I've mostly used Lua as a tool in my homebrew game engine side project, but what you said about their philosophy of providing minimal tools where it is possible to work in different programming modalities is one of my favorite things about Lua.
Ask HN: What are some fun things to do in the bay area?
I'm trying to decide whether or not the bay area is a place I could live. When I interned there last summer I didn't have a car and lived in Sunnyvale, which made things pretty boring. If I were to move there I'd probably try living in SF, but in general I want to understand why people love this part of the country so much. I feel like I missed the experience that makes others enjoy it.

I'm currently contrasting the bay area with Seattle, and the argument I always hear is the weather and difficulties finding a job in one place over the other. But I figure there has to be more than weather and work!

No, no, no. Intel doesn't have a license with Qualcomm. In recent decisions made by regulators in the EU, South Korea, Taiwan, etc, Qualcomm was accused and fined precisely for their unwillingness to license their IPs to competing baseband makers (ie, Intel). The USFTC is looking to punish Qualcomm for the same offenses and enable Qualcomm's competitors to take license from Qualcomm (see http://www.fosspatents.com/2018/09/federal-trade-commission-...). Wrt Intel modems, the exhaustion doctrine likewise doesn't apply.
Being a humanitarian is admirable but at the end of the day it's a luxury that may or may not pay off in the long run.

Just the same way you don't give your money to a beggar on the street when you can barely afford to survives yourself the employment of personal boundaries is important for humans and countries.

So given that Italy is not doing so well at the moment I kind of have to question their thinking reducing their revenue stream in favour if immigrants.

The assumption that all immigration is good immigration is not true.

> Wow, I just done this and my whole upper back started cracking

You have had bad posture for a long time.

> How does this fix my pain long-term?

Doing it daily may or may not fix the problem. It surely has fixed my upper back problems. I do it and just few other back stretches. I also go running frequently.

The way they do it in the video is not perfect in my opinion. I could not find the way I do it anywhere. So here is instruction:

Take the same posture but instead of letting knee stay up and hand on the floor, push knee to the floor and let the hand hang palm upward above the floor (it really stretches your pec). Gradually you should be flexible enough to have both knee and hand on the floor.

>or shorten the back muscles that are stretched?

Short time stretching can't shorten muscles. Muscles shorten when they are never stretched.

Do the following test: Stand straight look forward. Have a pencil in your fist. When you are standing relaxed, look at where the pencil points. If it points inward, your shoulders are turned inward. Pencil should point directly forward.

> but surely it's easier to overcome that than overcome all the little problems that stem from starting indices from 1.

It's not. You're asking new learners to overcome a great deal of intuition when already attempting to learn a mind-bending thing like programming. I've taught C++ and Matlab side by side to freshmen in university. They learn C++ first and encounter all kinds of off-by-one errors the compiler doesn't help them catch. When they get to Matlab, the universal sentiment I've found is "wow, this makes so much more sense"

For new learners, 0 indexing seems like such a pointless frustration with an obvious solution. It can be a needless roadblock for people otherwise excited to learn.

Freshwater habitats are the worst hit according to the article with populations having collapsed by 83%. To that we have several major causes with one being acidification from CO2, eutrophication, fresh water usage/water treatment, waste management and electrical dams. Beef and internal-combustion are part of the issue of C02, but we need to also start addressing the other issues if we want to see the trend change.
Wouldn't the T2 security chip mean an end to putting non-MacOS operating systems on Apples hardware? Honest question .. I don't know the answer .. but it seems like this is going to be a hurdle for Linux on Apple hardware going forward.

No, there isn't. But I don't see the need to start with these commands anyway. Or if the OP really feels like that's a necessary starting point, it would be great to have an option in the future to select what DBMS you're using. I wasn't intending to bash the work, but sticking to a single DBMS really limits the utility of what seems like it could be very general resource.

I'm typing this comment on my 2012 quad core i7 Mac Mini with 16G of RAM and two 2.5" 2TB SSD drives. This machine still works great for all of my Logic music production needs. One of the things I love about this machine is how I've been able to perform my own memory and disk upgrades over the years to keep the machine relevant.

Looking forward to reading the iFixit teardown to see to what degree folks will be able to upgrade the machine's memory and disk in the 2018 model. I'm most excited about getting four Thunderbolt 3 ports, not necessarily for the increased bandwidth (you don't need a ton of bandwidth for audio) but for the ability power external peripherals.
Add an eGPU (Razor Core X?), some discs via Thunderbolt and a nice screen and it will eat deeply into iMac and MacPro customers providing upgradability via the peripherals without the price of an internal screen and touchbar (hopefully, I am very curious about the price of the 6-core i7 with 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, and 10gigE model.
I've been Linux-only (plus other oddballs like OpenBSD and the occasional Haiku or 9front or FreeDOS) since about 2012 or so (after 4 or 5 years of gradually weaning myself off Windows). Steam for Linux was my nail in the coffin then; the only Windows installs on any of my machines have been virtualized.

Lately I've been tempted to setup Win10 LTSB on a NUC or something to play a couple oddball games that are too modern to be VM-friendly but old enough to be comfortable on Intel graphics and a relatively-weak CPU. Proton was released just in time to indefinitely postpone those plans.

I haven't tried running a Linux distro on any Mac with the T2 chip, but that might be a challenge if that chip is used for authenticating the boot process or something like that. Additionally, the fact that the thing is brand-new means that it might be a while before some of it works with Linux.
I recently joined a gym and have met several people there I now call friends. They also all know I'm not on Facebook so these new friends text me (usually) when they want to get in touch outside of the gym.

Guys, you're proving what everybody is starting to realize; Facebook has become masters at making people addicted to them. Every excuse I see like this one is nothing more than justification for an addiction. I hear it all the time. Me: "I'm not on Facebook." Them: "Oh, I could never do that" and then the proceeds to outline some extenuating circumstance that they claim is unique to them which is in fact unique to NOBODY. Because Facebook is that good at making people addicted to it.

I challenge you to try it. Disable your account for six weeks and see how you feel. If you're miserable, fine. Go back. But at least try it!

I can't decide whether you're joking or not. That's how the web has worked since its inception until just a few years ago when SPAs appeared on the scene. I don't think SPAs are always a bad idea, but they sometimes are. For instance, I've gone back to HTML Gmail and I love how fast it is compared to the JavaScript mess the main product has become.
This article focuses excessively on 'violent lyrics', which are only a feature of some small sub-genres in the greater landscape of modern extreme metal. While no one is going to confuse the lyrical content of most metal as being upbeat or positive, there is enormous diversity of musical styling and lyrical subjects across the genre, just like any other. Most lyrics and most extreme metal bands don't focus on subjects like the article discusses (CC in particular). Death Metal (and it's sub-genres) is today more associated with musical and vocal style rather than violent lyrical imagery.

You can upgrade the memory, they’re standard DIMMs. It’s still unknown whether the storage can be upgraded.
Then you go back to the point made in the beginning of the article:

Is the better UX during 5xx worth the extra investment?

Does it directly drive more revenue than what it costs in developer time?

I would argue that in most situations the business is better off using 10 hours of engineer time working on some source of 5xx, than 10 hours making sure the error has good UX.

Problem with SPA made here is simply that there isn't an easy "good enough" solution like you have for MPA, it is either good ux or nothing. (I don't know if that is true or if it is just that SPA devs will always insist in good ux even if it doesn't improve company's bottom line)
As I recall, the T2 is essentially a gimped A10. FaceID relies partially on the neural engine in the A11 and later to retrain its image of you and continue to work reliably, even when your face undergoes subtle changes.

Or essentially, until they release an updated T series chip which includes the neural engine, which probably won’t be until Mac OS X can take advantage of it, it is TouchID or nothing as far as biometric auth goes for Macs.
What's almost just as bad is that networks such as Google also abuse advertisers by counting random clicks from kids. All ads on mobile should require a 2-click action, and it shouldn't be easy to click twice by mistake either. Like the second button should appear in another location of the screen or something.
