Does the watch vulnerability meaningfully increase the risk here?

These people would know what a child's routine is already, and would not need smartwatch info.

And we're talking about people to are also technically savvy enough to reverse engineer this software.

It seems more likely that even in this situation, the watch would be a help rather than a harm.

I'm not saying we shouldn't care about security, but people tend to over-react whenever children are involved.

Someone that is only going to go there once or twice? Then it won't cause a problem.

Someone that isn't a local, but goes to the place over and over anyway? Consider them an honorary local.

The other day the French finance minister (Bruno Le Maire) said that the EU should form an empire. Implying that that is the only means the EU has to compete with the US and China going forward.

It's fascinating to watch all of this play out, the clash of ideas and approaches across the EU and Europe broadly, largely between EU-globalists and European nationalists that want greater sovereignty.
I'm guessing the code was intended to be equivalent to:

I don't like the "Pay What You Want" system they have to download the OS. It feels misleading that you have to click on custom then enter 0 to download for free.

I totally understand how important donations are to keep a project going but this one rubs me off the wrong way. I hope I'm not the only one.
An Avogadro's constant number of molecules is one mole. One mole of hydrogen has much less mass than one mole of iron. You have to choose an arbitrary mass of a single element as the base quantity. Hydrogen might be the best theoretically, it's just a proton and an electron, but it is tricky to work with because it's a gas at room temperature. So instead the mole has been defined as the number of molecules in a specific mass of carbon-12.
It appears that the long-promised sequel to "The Princess Bride" will have to be just the one chapter, then. Alas.

I was hit by this.

One of my projects needed to be used by some users in Cuba, and guess what? GCP doesn't work from Cuba.

I had to adapt one of the features of the project to upload files to AWS S3 which works perfectly there.
This is a terrible term but I'll use it because it works here: the genre of burger we are talking about here is "cheap burger" (I mean that as a quality/experience descriptor, not price). It's a relatively thin, wide ground chuck patty on a good-but-standard bun; the only "interesting" ingredient they use is hamburger relish.

So, yeah I am explicitly saying that the price
ceiling and the demand for the burger aren't as neatly related as it looks, because the substitutes for this particular burger are going to be very close to it in quality (it's possible that for something close to 50% of patrons, this burger will be perceived as "worse" than other cheap burgers they've had, because opinions vary).

If this was that Raoul's burger, where it's ground short rib and brisket with a triple cream brie and a cognac cream dipping sauce, I'd be right there with you. But Stanich is apparently just a cheap diner burger very well executed (in Alexander's estimation, but I have no reason to doubt him). If you charge $30 for that, people will pay (once), and then feel ripped off. For a little while. Then word will get out.

It probably is the best cheap diner burger in America! The dude did the research! I'm just saying, you probably can't charge $30 for a cheap burger, sustainably. You'll do OK in the short term, and then irreversibly harm the business.

Scaling out makes a lot more sense. He probably should franchise.

> Niel Postman’s Technopoly puts forward a pretty good argument for why we can’t simply replace teachers with sophisticated tools and hope the information sticks.

This is absolutely correct! Information technology is in no way, shape, form, or manner an adequate replacement for a skilled, educated, professional, and engaged teacher and a supportive community.

It may be worth considering that tools can provide some value when teachers have no idea what they're supposed to be teaching... or even are entirely absent!

It's important to recognize that using technology to aid in the educational process does not have to mean handing kids iPads and hoping for the best. While by no means a substitute for a teacher performing to reasonable standards, tools can be a wonderful investment in situations where the education system cannot meet those standards.
All the successful restaurants I've experienced chose to give preferential treatment to locals and regulars. That's because they often give the place the charme that makes it special in the first place. And that the business is rather cyclical, and you don't want to end up without tourists AND local all hating you.

At the point where you're running 20 tables or more for three rounds every night (plus mabybe 2x lunch) you stop caring about making more money. Because if money were that important, you would have gone into investment banker, not chef.

Plus restaurants tend to get into and out of favour. IT'

And everyone hates tourist. Seriously: if you work anywhere close to tourists, you will hate work because it's full of tourists. Then you take a vacation and start hating yourself.
Well, now you could do that. At least you could next March when these rules take affect. But before you could not because the conversion between atomic mass and SI/kg mass depended on that experimental constant. Two mass systems were required because we couldn’t conver between them with atomic accuracy.

I don't know why you suddenly turn to saying engineers don't understand marketing (although that's not the same as public relations).

Just because a project doesn't do something well doesn't mean they don't know how to value it.
I think you need to ask the question about the unhealthy forces in science today. Are these forces breaking science? Or Is the investment model (grants) creating these forces? I think it is the latter. That's the whole point of the article. We need to rethink how we allocate dollars.

You mention pods so are you talking about GKE clusters? If so, Stackdriver integration is just another service installed when you setup your cluster (using fluentd as the agent). There's also an updated beta version of this monitoring, but you can disable all of it easily in the GKE console with a few clicks.

Container output isn't hijacked, it's all logged to files, and those files are tailed by the logging agents. You can run multiple logging agents, for example we use https://logdna.com/ (highly recommended) and it works fine in addition to stackdriver logs.
> “Oh we don’t actually apply paint until high school,” I was told by the students. ... “So your students don’t actually do any painting?” I asked. “Well, next year they take Pre Paint-by-Numbers. That prepares them for the main Paint-by-Numbers sequence in high school.

This was worth a chuckle. I recall taking pre-calculus/calculus in high school from a particularly passionate teacher. He really enjoyed his job and I felt like I got a greater appreciation for mathematics from his teaching. He did live graphing of equations with a then-novel overhead-transparency peripheral display for his computer. He included lots of practical engineering applications. After reflecting on this article I wonder if he were unconstrained in the curriculum whether he would've been yet more inspiring still.

I'll be honest.. I tried elementary os when they first released it but never got it's charm.

It always felt like an inferior version of macOS... Which I don't like.

>The taxpayer in NY ends up better off after this deal;

you added a qualifier that OP did not add. Yes, the new york taxpayer is better off, but this is rent-seeking behavior

New York is better off by subsidizing Amazon in the same sense as Luxembourg is better off compared to other European countries by being a tax haven. Hardly something applaudable.
This is a relatively recent change. I remember that they used to be much clearer about this back in Loki.

Grant Achatz is famously a fiend for Potbelly (a cheap chain that is like a notch up from Quiznos). I don't know that it's fair to ding him with Au Cheval.

Ideology is meh. I always took the whole "there should be one obvious way" as a guideline for the language or libraries close to the core. Who cares if it isn't that way for everything? Data visualization is a library at the end of a pipeline, which make the requirements for it to interface with anything else much less stringent as it is for the standard library for example.

It's fine you have multiple tools. The only thing that matters at the end of the day is the product you provide, so it doesn't seem to matter to me.
What about binary formats like gpg keyrings?
I'm not sure where to begin on this, so I'll resort to a brain dump.

The Nobel prize has become steadily more political. More senior researchers in the field have had more time to accrue political power, so expect the awards to reach further back in time.

Research productivity has dropped, though. Today a professor in biology has a more than full time job just to get money for their lab. So you go through gradschool, go through postdoc, and when you've got all this training, you stop doing science and become a grant writer. If you don't bring in money, you don't have a lab.

For the postdocs and grad students, they live very insecurely. Their pay is poor, they live knowing they will probably relocate somewhere entirely different in three or four years, so there's no point having links into the local community. They work for someone has no training in management and has no time to deal with them if the money is going to flow. And there are still lots of places where the postdocs aren't considered full time employees of the university and don't have, say, health insurance. These are hardly the conditions that you can expect to produce good work.

Fields are mined down to the last details rather than looking at unexplored areas nearby. There are many reasons for this. As a grad student you work on what your advisor works on. As a postdoc, you work on what your lab works on. As a professor, you work on what you worked on as a postdoc and it requires multiple years and lots of luck to reorient a lab. You need a community to provide evidence of your competence in order to advance at each stage and get tenure, which you can't easily get if you wander out of an established field. Nor is there any training on how to look effectively find things to work on.
NASA and NOAA scientists and engineers still use customary units.
Sure. But they are in 3rd place. And so very, very far behind AWS in the range of products, quality of service, developer ecosystem, number of regions etc. And while GCP is still focusing on the basics AWS is locking developers into their platform with paradigms like serverless.

And once IBM launches their cloud I would actually put them ahead of GCP given how useful their Compose suite is.
I don't think that's true, but it's being discussed ad nauseam upthread if you're interested.
You're definitely not the only one. They have been called out before for this exact stunt:

That is like the first thing I saw too. I was not fooled.
But maybe this system works better then a free + donate button. Only data can tell... Maybe people are donating more with this system?
They've had this since at least 2015, so not really all that recent.
Two of your 3 definitions specified that subsidies are characterized by having the aim of promoting some sort of "social policy" or something "advantageous to the public". In my view, this means subsidies are "charitable" insofar as they are making a monetary sacrifice to promotr some sort of greater good, be it environmental (like green energy subsidies) or social justice (like grants to minority or women owned businesses) or something else.

I don't think any of the public officials framed these tax incentives to Amazon of having any sort of "social policy" or anything of that sort. They seemed to have been offered with the explicit goal of optimizing revenue in the long term, not trying to advance any sort of social good beyond bringing in more money.

Ask HN: What are top websites in terms of ad revenue?
Hello HN, I've been looking for an accurate list of top websites with regard to their ad revenue. I think Google sits at the top, but I haven't found any list of other top-earning websites. Any help is appreciated.
I don't think it's hard to explain: it's the cities' equivalent to cartelization. It's no wonder why two competing firms would like to prevent each other from lowering prices, and they often lobby for laws to do that. The mechanism here is the same.
A simple fix for that is to put up a big sign that says "Tourist tax in effect" and make a $25 rebate for any regular customer or person that can prove a local address; or simply assert with a straight face to the staff they live on this and this street. It's a bit of a hassle for the locals but the place is saved.

Sure, the tourists will attack you on Yelp and Instagram and accuse you of price gouging. But to hell with them and their opinion, on the long run only the opinion of the locals matters.
To what end?

The whole idea is that non-locals are probably going to buy 1 burger per year or perhaps lifetime.

These kind of people don't fiddle with ebay and paying a random guy just to get 25% off of a burger that they will use once.
Whenever I hear stuff like that, I wonder what their parents were like, or where else that need for external validation comes from. Even having to be the best is for "losers" IMO, but cheating to overpower people better than you, that's some hardcore stunted development on bold display.
Great point, thanks for reminding of that.

I remember finding it so depressing how rigid thinking killed so many in college.
Can you provide an example?

This might be the first time I have heard a critique from that angle.

Many of my capital-skeptic friends were against the bank and insurance bailouts without meaningful consequences.

They are still pretty irked TBH.

I think of these people as 'liberal' in the 'leftist' sense of the word. Maybe you mean 'neo-liberal', as in the economic sense?

Or maybe you just have a different demographic group in mind that I am unaware of.

Regardless, I would like to learn more.
This is great news. An amazing team with a good solution to a huge problem. I look forward to following your progress.
Actually you don't. By that logic your order history on Amazon is your data but it is expressly not.
I used to think that being open-source was enough to avoid being spied on but it is not. Ubuntu showed this with the Amazon search issue [1] and is apparently collecting telemetry with 18.04 LTS [2]. My understanding is that Brew also gatherings telemetry by default.

Enabling telemetry collection as the default setting needs to end -

If it's iPhone for phones, why are they far from being a monopoly? That theory seems suspect even with your examples.
I'd like to apply to an company's own listing directly (whether it be LinkedIn, StackOverflow, the company's own web site, etc.) but this seems to be a straight ticket into a black hole.

At this point in my career, I've probably interviewed at 200-300 companies. I think I can count the number of times I've received a positive response for a position I applied to directly with one hand.

All my interviews have been from recruiters (whether it be third-party or in-house) reaching out to me, or friends referring me.

Maybe my resume just sucks?
I'm pretty sure a watt balance and a Kibble balance are the same thing. Regardless, that YouTube video is so good! I was just about to post the same link.
Or you can just prevent companies from having too much market share within an industry, which we've enforced before and worked pretty well.

Removing the consumer price standard for anti-trust enforcement would go a long way to preventing these huge oligopolies from forming
I like how homebrew cask does it, where each cask is a formula to download the app into /Applications . You get the reproducibility of package lists, the speed of just typing an install / search command vs searching a website and the connivence of normal app installation and management.
I love it. I feel that having the downloader physically typing the number zero ensures that the downloader understands that there is 'A' number that belongs there. It respects the downloader (no ads or pushy verbiage) while sending this message of 'yeah, it is free to use, and it costs money/time/resources to create, so your financial contribution would be appreciated.
Good point, I spent a few hours tweaking win10 exactly to my taste and telemetry was one of the first things to go.
Or potentially more usefully, ascertain an accurate measurement of how closely a given measuring device is to the target to calibrate it's use in actual measurements (outside of the expensive validation mechanisms).
I heartily recommend altair, which is maturing nicely - while the API is not a clone of ggplot, it takes the same grammar-of-graphics idea and applies it to interactive graphics.

It's 5-6 lines of code per chart for most examples here, with a few more lines for interaction (e.g. selection and linked brushing across graphs).

Yeah, would be nice to try it but the wait make Hot Doug's look brief.
Which brings us to a similar issue: what if I don't want my voice being recorded, analyzed and tracked by digital assistants? How do I prevent companies from profiling my habits by using other peoples devices?

> Until we pay the most talented researchers

It's not even that. One of the contributing factors is that we are no longer hiring for talent or merit. If you're a male child interested in science and in high school right now you've been through 8 years telling you that you should not go into science because they need more women of colour who follow the right religions and have the right sexual orientation. You're constantly bombarded with "SCIENCE DOES NOT WANT MEN".

And sure, we can say "well if he had the necessary grit, this would not discourage him". No. No amount of grit will get you in when governments are shaping science funding to punish having male staff. No amount of grit will get you in when indoctrination training is mandatory for the selection committees. No amount of grit will get you in when the first filter in a hiring process is to remove all males applicants.

I'm sorry but science has to go through a decline in the West for a bit. We still have some remnants to be worked through the system, but the next couple generations of Western scientists are going to be generally pretty low quality. On the bright side, science is not exclusively a Western tradition at this point. Other cultures that at least pretend to still focus on merit and talent will carry the scientific tradition forward.

Air Quality in San Francisco So Bad that Uber Drivers Are Selling Masks From Car
You don't see any growth in the local economy that would result from HQ2-A (or is this one -B?) as an "economic [or social] policy" worth supporting, for its own sake, or that it's not somehow "advantageous to the public", under the kind of thinking that uses tax breaks to lure corporations like this?

The "greater good" under discussion is, IMO, the "rising tides lift all boats" notion that (at least some of) the people behind this policy believe will result from it.

That's not charity; it's "optimizing revenue in the long term". It's purely about "bringing in more money".

EDIT: Not to say I subscribe to this theory, personally, but that's my understanding of the motivations in play.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have far more productive things to do with my time than to keep going in circles here.
I don't really particularly like David Chang, but one thing that I do identify a lot with is that there is a lot of art and expertise in Asian cuisines that have been neglected in the west, precisely because it has been dismissed as simple, as lower class, as cheap.
