When I was thinking about buying my first smartphone I wanted a Firefox OS device. However devices were underpowered and the OS was too young and heavy on resources. So I bought the original Moto G.

But still if there would be a Moto G of Firefox OS it probably would all end-up the same. But maybe it could at least retain a niche.

My Moto G with current Lineage OS is better than when it was still getting updates, but sadly I broke SIM holder. Maybe I will try to fix it someday with someone's help.

Now I use Nexus 5X and as it will soon receive its last update I'm thinking about alternatives. LineageOS is an obvious choice, maybe with MicroG. But I also am thinking a bit about Plasma Mobile as it is a supported device. If it will not bootloop maybe I will be able to try it.

But I put my hopes in PostmarketOS and when there will be a single device with enough hardware support (I can close an eye on Bluetooth, NFC, accelerometer and gyro) I will buy two such devices even and maybe especially used.
> Hell youre poor, forget credit you can’t even open a bank account, go apply for a minimum wage job, then head to the check cashing/cash advance store.

How do you think bank accounts, minimum wage jobs, or check-cashing places work? Do you think they check your credit before you can access them? Some jobs do, sure, but not all, and you can absolutely deposit money or cash a check without having established credit.
This. I recently got a new Android phone, and decided to go Google-less with microG and LineageOS. Since I had to install everything from scratch anyway, I only installed apps as I needed them, and I've found that I have not reinstalled a large portion of the apps on my old phone—Amazon, Yelp, YouTube, etc all work perfectly fine in the browser, and I now have the added advantage that uBlock in Firefox blocks all of the trackers that are impossible to avoid in native apps. Hell, many of these "native" apps are just the web versions wrapped in a web view, so there is absolutely no discernible difference in functionality or UX between the two.

imho the only way to correct the cost of higher education is to limit what the federal government will loan per credit hour by course. many don't seem to have a problem with government dictating how much a medical procedure will be paid so lets apply that to education.

you can damn well bet you will entire degrees built around the limits if they were in place. put it down to this course is worth X per credit and this degree is worth X amount and requires a set of course credits that will have loan money available.

as to the article in question, one variable was missing. buyers won't accept homes and features that they can easily afford but are influenced by TV and other forms of marketing let alone the old keeping up with the Jones
Cheers--I didn't want to single out any country in particular because it's a fairly common stereotype in whichever expat scene.
One of my "wake up" moments was when I searched for the phone number of a local physical therapy office on Google. Within the day, I started getting Youtube video recommendations for massage techniques to relieve shoulder pain.

Google and all of its employees who make products like this are on the absolute wrong side of history. Society will only take so much before breaking; they need to figure out their business model, and fast.

Absolutely agree, explainations might be useful for the poster but not the community.

Does karma do anything past something like 500? I think a lot of people see voting as curation more than punishment. Humor get buried pretty readily because it's fluffy and "reddity" not because OP is a monster.

Or factually incorrect statements. Even made in good faith they usually get buried if the answer is in a sibling but not when the answer is in a child post. It's not always personal.
> what I'm saying is that I often don't need to expose all data as a client-consumable API and render data using JS

You don't need to. But what if you could just go ahead and use a proven, extremely popular templating language/engine anyways, just in case. At no cost.

>databases, message queues, APIs, ERP systems and the like.

And the web application exposing this data is already not a borderline SPA? I'm surprised.

A lot was through dreams, which I began writing down in my twenties when I got fairly fascinated with lucid dreaming.

Other times there were specific memories of abuse that popped into my head after not having conscious access to them since childhood. A strange sensation, like recovering a lost piece of my identity.

I also greatly benefited from keeping an online searchable journal for years where I would record all of these stray memories and thoughts, even the ones I couldn’t make sense of at the time. Later on when I had more pieces of the puzzle I could refer to these notes and understand what my unconscious had been trying to tell me all along.
That demand was artificially created by the government disallowing the discharge of student loan debt through bankruptcy.
Do you have an example of this? A tutorial or specific tool to get a taste of what’s involved?
This is what they're trying to achieve: phones are heavily tied to services, so if you want people to break free from Google, Apple, MS, you need strong alternatives. The /e/ Foundation is working on services that will go with their fork of Android. You'll also have the option to self-host those services if you prefer.

This will not be easy to achieve, but I believe it's a great idea.
I loved the movie enough that I wanted to love the series too. It helped that SyFy have turned out some great programming. I didn't reach the end of the first TV series. I tried, and definitely got past half way - maybe 8 or 9 episodes.

For me, it just kept reinforcing the thought that it wasn't a patch on the movie and felt more like any old time travel series. I couldn't connect with it or relate it to the film like I could with say Stargate or Star Trek film vs TV.

Maybe I should give it another go sometime. :)

Unfortunately I agree with you. Members of mainstream western society want to take a pill to solve all their problems. And there’s an entire Pharmalogical Industrial Complex supported by countless clinicians and academics, all of whom are highly incentivized to quash any attempts to approach the problem from the only angle that has a chance of working. And why would they? They’re all getting rich and tenured.
Your personal opinion is that it's less of a problem, but the end result is the same, US following policies that are not necessarily good for it's own people, instead serving agendas of external entities.

Lobbying and interfering with elections by buying ads on Facebook are very different things.

Foreign-ness of the investment capital may be important to the perceived moral valence if the transaction, but money is money.

The strategy of squatting on vacant property is essentially patience. For it to pay off, you do have to eventually rent it out (or sell it) when you think prices are high enough. For example, if you have deep enough pockets you might move during a recession, but wait until the recession is over to sell your old house, because you get a better price. If you never sell it, you’re tying up capital for no reason. The higher interest rates are, the more you’re losing in opportunity cost by owning a vacant building. Patience has probably been especially abundant in this decade of historically low interest rates.

Since no tax rate is 100%, a writeoff is never as good as a profit. It only softens the blow, which might extend the landlord’s patience in waiting for rents to cycle back up to $2800.

Another thing that happens is the project’s financing is contingent on a certain average rent, but the contract doesn’t factor in $0 rent empty units, just leaves them out of the calculation. This is essentially a bug. It’s one reason landlords give signing bonus concessions instead of just lowering the rent.

In markets seeing runaway costs, vacancy is at historic lows. No one is investigating this too thoroughly because fixing it wouldn’t be very fruitful.

Ask HN: What do you think of reusing code you write between diferent jobs?
I don't feel like reinventing the wheel every time I have to implement the same functionality. Often times, I find I'd write the code in the exact same way if I had to do it all over again.

Code that's in production use is proven.

Conventional wisdom is that you can always improve your code, but sometimes it's already as good as it will get. I'll only rewrite code if I find I can improve it considerably. I always try to write the cleanest, best code possible, and I think I do a pretty good job at it.

Though I have been thinking that if someone competing with someone I'd already been paid to deliver code for, they could ask for (almost) the same exact features, possibly giving them a competitive advantage. I could obviously decline, but where to draw the line would be iffy.

For context, my situation is special in that I do contractual work, and all of my code remains my intellectual property, so it's all unquestionably legal. I do tell clients that I reuse my code often, though I don't go on a monologue about it. All code is written by me. This is more a question on "if you could, would you?".
>mainstream psychiatry still so obsessed with "curing" addiction via chemical means, as opposed to through psychology/trauma recovery?

Accusations of Russian interference in American elections always reminds me of this Time magazine cover story from 1996: RESCUING BORIS
THE SECRET STORY OF HOW FOUR U.S. ADVISERS USED POLLS, FOCUS GROUPS, NEGATIVE ADS AND ALL THE OTHER TECHNIQUES OF AMERICAN CAMPAIGNING TO HELP BORIS YELTSIN WIN

https://ccisf.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/201612201405.pd...

From gloating about meddling in foreign elections to declaring Facebook ads an act of war, America has sure come a long way.
This seems like a fairly easy thing to test rigorously (in a statistically significant way). Just create a fake account and do a search and see what the effect is on other places on the web. Are there services that does this automatically, so we don't have to rely on anecdotal "I searched for X here and now I see recommendations for that on Y, and I think it was because of X, but maybe it's just coincidence"? A site that rigorously confirms secret data links between e.g. google search or gmail plain text and other places (e.g. youtube or even amazon recommendations). If it doesn't exist, it seems like a cool thing to create, as a sort of service to the world.

It'd probably reveal a lot of hidden data links that aren't obvious (or which companies promise doesn't exist).
What little pair programming experience I have makes me think it’s great to do now and then, but maybe not all day every day. You get to know your team members, share skills, see different perspectives and ways of approaching a problem, and understand how your way of working will affect others ability to do their work. Do it once a week or so and I’m confident it will be good for the quality of the code and the team.
Those don't rise to the level of addiction any more than people foisting their control anxiety on others is 'OCD'.
I find Twitter pretty great for for traffic or transit problems. There are usually people complaining or posting about it within minutes of the problem and i've usually gotten more accurate up to date info about local things like that by scrolling through Twitter threads about them than official statements.

Also the police scanner ones are pretty great. They're how I learned about a naked man that chased a pig down the street one night in the middle of the city.
Interesting project. Thanks for sharing it, without the typical cryptocurrency fight. I’m in this simply for learning and playing around with the technology.
Use the ublock origin extension to remove the parts of Reddit that are annoying.

Use the picker to select the problem overlays and create a rule and they will be gone. You have to do this a few times since some seem to be page sensitive.

Umm unless you're an Arab, you know the other Semite.
The problem with the 'destabilization' argument is that it's largely been caused by the reaction to the random Twitter/Facebook trolls, not the trolls themselves. Seeing people flip out and want to ban free speech because of some social media nonsense is a far more powerful reason to mistrust a group than anything they could have actually posted against them on Twitter or Facebook to begin with.

If you don't believe me, take a look at some of the actual memes they've been posting: https://imgur.com/a/ZjQ3PLS

Can anyone tell me which of these memes presents an existential threat to democracy and how?

What does "Is that legal" actually _mean_ in this context?

It's clearly not _illegal_ for me to own a private key.

Bitcoin users generally accept that if they lose sole access to their keys, they lose sole access to their funds. It's an opt-in system.

The fact that such opt-in systems may be rendered impossible due to the application of force is a tremendous flaw in the legal system; it's not otherwise an interesting question.

If I post this comment and claim it's public domain, and some legalistic construct pops through a side channel and claims that in my jurisdiction public domain doesn't exist; clearly my personal attribution takes precedence.

Pair programming reminds me of a sweatshop type of situation, when there is no time to reflect for too long just produce code so that your pair won't tell your boss that you are stupid. Code driven by fear is never good. Okay, you might have a pair that you feel comfortable with and tackling the task at hand goes easy. But in that case again, probably you didn't have time to think when you couldn't get something right and your pair gave you solution instantly. This way your learning is screwed and of course you got the output, but this has done little to better yourself. Pair is fine to get to know someone, perhaps show new person a project and do a simple task with them, but other than that it is a waste of time. Basically two developers solve one task whereas they could solve two and also learn more.
Do you think psychedelic use had any role in helping facilitate your awareness?
Seriously. And how else are you supposed to navigate the conversation to those things with a complete stranger you just met? Be a mind reader and know those things about them and ask them explicitly? I don't understand why these questions are getting so much hate, for me they're just a starting point when I have no obvious one, and it's a great and easy way to get a general sense of what someone's all about. A getting the ball rolling kinda thing. And having used "so what do you do" as my default ice breaker for years now, I have always felt it put people at ease more than anything, especially people who seem kinda shy. It's open ended and they can go where they want with it. They gotta cool project they're working on they'd love to talk about? They can jump right to it for all I care, sounds good to me!

Some googlers got the same idea and slept in the google parking lot!

It does not make sense to purchase expensive properties with the record low interest rates. As soon as they rise again, your property will lose in 10s of thousands of dollars in value and you will be tempted to walk away from it.
True, you'll get all kinds of weird traffic like that running public services. Especially hidden services on Tor where people generally aren't backed by CDNs and attacks can be made anonymously.

But it's weirder to claim that Googlebot is aggressively DDoSing you.
You don't need to remember the state of every directory visited. The functionality GP is asking for is similar to the forward button in the web browser. I.e., if you're starting in `/a/b/c/d`, to be able to go

/a/b/c/d -> /a/b/c -> /a/b -> /a/b/c -> /a/b/c/d

However, if you instead go into `/a/b/x` after the first two steps, the "forward history" would be lost.
Parking fines aren't designed for deterrence, they're designed for revenue generation. If parking is €2 and the fine is €1 on top of the parking cost if you get caught (plus €5 worth of inconvenience doing fine paperwork), and there is a 90% chance of getting caught, nobody parks illegally -- and therefore there is no fine revenue.

But if you make it a $200 fine with a one in a thousand chance of getting caught, then it's profitable, because then many people rationally take the risk and become a source of citation revenue. But the violation rate is higher, so if that was your goal, it fails -- unless you're still doing vigorous enforcement, in which case high fines are once again unnecessary.
I've never been a fan of rap music, I've actually mostly been repulsed by it, but after hearing this I think I'm a fan. I guess it was all about what the songs are about (not a fan of violence).

> So, given that, what were we to do? Say to our neighbors, "sorry, you have to risk death in future attacks because I can't be arsed to wait longer in lines at the airport"?

Not at all. It was a horrific, terrible event on an unprecedented scale, which I don't wish to play down or disrespect. Perhaps no reaction could have kept the trademark US unbounded optimism afterwards, but it seems that the reaction changed more than the event itself.

If the reaction had been more like other incidents, the authorities could have quietly done what authorities do whilst the politicians try to play down the drama and immediate desire for revenge, reinforcing the need to mourn but preserve all that's best of your way of life. The CIA and excellent special forces might have clinically cut al Quaeda and its leaders to shreds over the coming years with global support and enhanced US global reputation. It might have taken longer, or been more difficult with an organisation like al Quaeda. Smaller changes could have improved air security without the enormous security theatre industry that's resulted.

The creation of the surveillance state, the invasions, ongoing military casualties and gunboat diplomacy seems to have brought most of the changes to society and attitudes and subsequent change in international views.

> The consequences of our reaction, our actions (and lack of actions in other places) will be felt for generations

That's basically my point.
I would expect that such rising demand would result in more universities being built, and big expansions of existing ones.
