no one needs to spend $300k in a year, but unless you are some kind of ascetic monk, you are susceptible to lifestyle creep.

the reason i bring up college expenses (which are about $70k/year at top US schools) is that parents tend to do whatever they can to give their kids the best possible chance in life. even if someone is not purchasing luxuries for themselves, it's not hard to spend tons of money on children. about $600k needs to be set aside if he wants to guarantee that his children can attend any college they can get accepted to. in the meantime, there are plenty of expensive things he can do to improve their chances of admission. maybe this means buying a house in a better school district or paying for private school (possibly >$40k per year per child). maybe it's private SAT prep to boost test score. extracurriculars are also very important for admissions (and are enriching in their own right), and the most impressive ones aren't cheap either. there's always something you can spend more money on to improve life outcomes for your kids.

you can't just say "I have a lot of money, I'm going to spend modestly, and everything will be alright," and have it be so.
Facebook is not a data monopoly, unless you take "data monopoly" to mean "has a set of a data that no one else does", in which case everyone is a data monopoly.

Depends on one's definition of lying, I suppose. At the very least CGI car ads are implying that you're watching the actual cars being sold being used in the various situations shown, when in actuality it is a generic rig that a CGI image has been stretched over.

I don't know that it materially makes much of a difference or really matters for car ads... as long as the cars shown can accomplish/look like in reality what they appear as in the ads. Still yet I think the intent is to have the public believe that they are watching video of the actual vehicles, in which case, one could call this "lying" in some form (whether or not we want to ascribe any particular moral bent to the term)

Why is this anti-Trump piece on hacker news? Please keep your propaganda for yourself.
I've only seen it once that I can think of, and I don't remember where. It might've been an example when they added or explained that predicate. I recall something like (Column1 = Column2) IS NOT UNKNOWN, but I don't know why you wouldn't use Column1 IS NOT NULL AND Column2 IS NOT NULL instead. I guess it might save a bit of rewriting, but it still seems pretty narrow.

It's really not useful unless you're talking about the value of a boolean expression or the underlying concepts of SQL, and most RDBMSs don't let you manipulate that directly with DML (MySQL is the first one I've seen that let you do it, and you just taught me that was the case). It's somewhat hidden because of that.
There are basically two ways to do that. Decompose final page, that is composed usually by internal Javascript these days. Or decompose the page structure, which is usually a bunch of API calls, requests, and some data transformation. The former is simpler, the latter is good potential use case for programmable browsers like Next.

It's up to us to set boundaries. If a corporation says sleep is dead unproductive time, it's the individual that must disagree and disconnect around their sleep. Same with exercise. There are so many benefits to the brain and the body from sleeping 7h+!

Sorry, but I think you are missing the point (please see my follow-up post). The point is, search results are not static even for the same inputs (search string, location, etc), even in privacy mode.

That's great that you use DDG and find it useful! If Google was a true monopoly, as the current media blitz would have you believe, then you would not have been able to so easily switch to DDG (or Bing, or...).

Well firstly, there are autonomous trains. The DLR in London is autonomous, there are plenty of train systems that are autonomous. But here's a key to why autonomous trains are not important and autonomous cars are: A traditional train requires 1 driver. An autonomous train requires 0 drivers and 1 guard (generally). In both cases trains have a capacity of around 1000 people.

Autonomous cars won't need guards, and have a capacity of 1 driver per 4 passengers. So the saving per person is 250x higher for autonomous cars than autonomous trains.

That's not even taking into account that the technology for autonomous cars is almost identical to autonomous HGVs - who have huge problems due to the limits of how long they can travel before the driver can rest.
I don't buy this. Strategically, it makes way more sense to roll it out as a driver-assisted system. Instead of dealing with the negative PR associated with a mishap or accident (like Uber in Arizona), you can place blame on individual drivers while you gain adoption.

If Google believes its tech is that far ahead, it makes way more sense to minimize risks associated with the public perceiving Waymo's system is dangerous, and let people get comfortable with being in a self-driving car.
Criminals seeking to commit property crime generally go to great lengths to avoid possible confrontations with people. Stealing one more BMW that week is not worth the risk of a 9mm hole in your chest. Breaking into someone's home when you are all but sure they are there (because their car is in the driveway and you want their keys) is just begging for a confrontation. Someone breaking into your house with the expectation of a confrontation with you is probably after more than just your keys.

People who's threat model does not include home invasion can generally leave their keys wherever is convenient in your home with immeasurably little additional risk. If you feel your threat model includes home invasion then where your keys are if the least of your issues.
They might not know it but its still ingrained, influences their culture and laws.

That's far less strong of a claim. If we're only talking about cultural influences then it's not hard to show how much of an influence the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Homeric Epics, and Plato's dialogues have had on Western cultures. It would be harder to point to a cultural element which had not been influenced by one or more of these ancient works.
I had never heard of Paw Patrol until I got some Paw Patrol snack size ziplock bags at my local Dollar General because they were cheap.

So cheap that they busted open when I was using them for dying plastic beads with alcohol ink. Beads and ink went flying all over my apartment. I bought them specifically for dying beads btw.

I've resented Paw Patrol ever since.

Hi, My year long project, my own approach to testing for Project Managers, Product Managers, Technical Non Dev People, ... Basically for people who understand what tests are, now why they are important, but usually don't look at them.

The framework has a set of default testing rules but you can easily add custom ones. Stuff that is currently tested - with every page you visit - is:

TTF, Page Speed Insights (Mobile/Desktop/Old/New), blocking scripts, canoinical, link rel alternate hreflang, client side rendering, cloaking/dynamic delivery, H1, meta title, meta description, blocked by robots.txt, gzip/brotli, URL uniqueness, reponsive setup, mobile friendly test, DOM depth, Cache Hit, HTTP header, x-robots HTTP headers, HTTP/2, parameterized links, fb shares, ..., ...
It's very different, because now if I say "hey, I could get a better return on that land than the company that runs the garage" I can

* buy the land.

* turn it in to homes.

It also means that as the area grows and more people come here and wish to park and live here, they can price according to the market, meaning we can determine if more people want to live on that land or park on it.

Also, for me at least the most expensive part of car ownership would be paying for parking. If I had a space with my flat, I'd probably own a car because it's a sunk cost (I would be bitter about it though). As it stands now I have the choice of not paying for a parking space, and I prefer not to.
That US court order has no standing in England.
>They're the most obviously supernatural element....

Gargoyles are really just rain spouts to protect masonry work. Obviously under different name they date back at least as far as ancient Egyptians where they were in the form of lion heads and those were copied in Ancient Greece. At some point they were converted to “grotesques” (the supernatural creatures you reference) mostly winged dragon like creatures.

The real irony is on many of the churches they lost their actual function (diverting rain water). I think that is the real cultural reference of the time, the people lost knowledge and took something that had practical function and converted it to just decorations that had no real function (except to ward off spirits...supernatural as you say).

So as you say in a vacuum it’s nearly impossible to understand certain cultural representations in art, because who knows what practical function these representations may have had in another culture predating the Egyptians, the Egyptians just copied because of supernatural reasons. That said obviously domesticated cats provided real function back then and killing snakes was a big part of that, without needing to interprete their legends and artistic depictions of the same.
The idea of punting the problem off to some metaphysical cloud in the sky is just plain old fuzzy thinking.

We're starting from the position that we are not entirely sure how the physical world works. From that starting point, pushing the problem of free will off into some other metaphysical realm which we also don't fully understand solves no problems. Unless we can posit rules or mechanisms that apply to souls but that can't apply physically, and show what those are, they are philosophically indistinguishable.

Personally I'm very much in the compatibilist camp. For a decision to be mine, it must depend on my state. If the decision does not derive directly from my state (memories, personality, emotions, etc) then it is not my decision. So the extent to which a decision comes from some other source, to that extent the decision is not mine. Again punting the problem off to a 'soul' adds no conceptual value. Either the soul is part of me and part of my state, or it isn't.
The cyberwomb account was created 5 minutes before that comment was posted. And the name "cyberwomb" seems to be problematic under the philosophy expressed. So I'm guessing it's a troll.

Google's feed does an amazing job of avoiding filter bubble. One of the best in the industry actually. I use the product and wrote a blogpost about it: https://getstream.io/blog/google-feed-personalization-and-re...

It makes total sense for them to personalize search results. If I am searching for Django it's the framework not the musician. When I search for a restaurant name it's the one in Boulder, Co, not a restaurant by the same name on a different continent.

People always adjust their messaging according to who they are talking to. It's kinda weird how it's creeping people out when computers do this.
Can you clarify, if I add a JS line to my file, I should version that JS file as a never-ever-changing static asset to be cached? It is a build artifact. And if I make a change daily (or more frequently w/ CD), have 365 of those versions (i.e. maybe versioned as date or hash)? Or should I start embedding that frequently changing JS in the pages that need it, thereby duplicating content, just to avoid breaking the rule that all build artifacts are static assets and all static assets are immutable?
Not free, but Europeans can sign up with interactive brokers UK and the pricing is very good for US markets.

>Paying 7,5 EUR to 15 EUR or more for each transaction gets old quick.

Even if there was a free service in Europe I'm not sure I'd use it due to concerns about fill & execution quality. Or to use an IT analogy...if you're not paying you are the product. In this case via order flow being sold.
There are people who behave this way. They offer valuable insight and advice, as well as money, and in return get thanked in the paper, and their grant numbers printed there. But not authorship, if they didn't write the paper. If you look up "author" in the dictionary it's pretty clear.

I actually wonder if journals should start offering a second list of names on the first page, or even three to allow both group-leader and technical-work credit. Has this ever been tried?
> For such a capitalist country as the US, the die-hard attachment to free or overcheap parking is really odd.

The US is also a country defined by an extreme attention to individual freedom and personal liberty. It's practically a meme that "Americans love Freedom" (using the American definition of 'Freedom'). Limiting parking in any way is, in practice, a very real limitation on a person's freedom to exist and/or move about.

This is why parking is given such high attention. Obviously not every single American drives (and I'm not justifying this response, just attempting to explain it) but when you limit roads/parking, you are effectively telling the vast majority of Americans that they should never be allowed somewhere, and they react accordingly.

You can think of this as like the American version of how France has major protests/riots whenever their leadership does something really bad/unpopular against the citizens.
For your vegetarian example:

The article runs through the analysis you propose, and (within the limitations of the study) show that Google does apply very similar filter bubbling logged out in incognito mode vs logged in.

In fact in “anonymous” mode, the results are much more similar to the same person’s “logged in” mode than to other randomly chosen people’s logged in or logged out results.
This is a really interesting question, in part because it raises the idea that trans women might be able to give birth someday soon. That could be very welcome news for a lot of people.

Edit: I'm curious if people are downvoting this because they're anti-trans, or because they think I'm somehow anti-trans.

>You're evading the question. The point of moral dilemmas is to highlight the qualities that meaningfully affect the outcome. We have here two scenarios, one in which the thief would be held responsible, and one in which he would not. Free will easily distinguishes these two scenarios, and since you claim we don't need free will to make such judgments, let's hear how you distinguish these.

Someone kidnapped my wife so I stole a car is not a valid legal defense, nor would I argue it is a valid moral defense. As I stated from the get go, I would hold the thief responsible in both situations.
Nobody else has a comparable dataset on a comparable scale. Microsoft wasn't the only company supplying operating systems in the 1990s either.

That's on the assumption that amount learned per hour remains constant as hours worked increases.
Just charge for it. That encourages efficient allocation of the resource (land).

If the government mandated free ice cream for everyone there would likely be an ice cream shortage. The solution would be to charge more for ice cream, not just try to increase the supply to meet demand (which is basically infinity when the cost is 0)
Right -- I'm looking for a white-paper level of detail somewhere behind the landing-page level of detail. What threats (internal and external) did you consider, what evidence convinced you they were addressed, and what acceptable risks remain? What would you as an engineer want to be told by another engineer who did the audit, for you to say "great, that's what I would have done, sounds like you did your due diligence, I'll use that"?

The white paper won't be read by everybody and shouldn't be targeted at everybody, but it will be read by the most knowledgeable folks and be a source of confidence that filters out to everyone else.

This all depends on there actually being an audit -- so far the landing page doesn't even say that! From the text on the page there's no way to tell if Mozilla just read the published policies for a bunch of VPNs and made a recommendation, or has an employee embedded in ProtonVPN's security team and a seat on the board, or somewhere in between. Without knowing the details, it's hard for me to say whether I'm looking for more documentation of the audit that already happened, or a stronger actual relationship behind the endorsement.

Kind of off topic, but a fun story: Growing up, we were the last kids off our bus and the ride took an hour. The silly thing was, there was a different bus that drove past our literally five minutes after school got out. Eventually they figured it out and switched the route we were on, but by then we were old enough to not ride the bus most of the time.
If you own a grocery store and there's a guy on the other side of town who is cheaper, the people who come to your store because it's more convenient would love for you to be forced to just give away half your space to your competitor. Doesn't mean it's "user hostile" to refuse to do so.
Might work under US law, but not under UK law. In the UK Parliament is sovereign.

Yesterday, Parliament forced the Government to publish it's confidential legal advice on the impact of the proposed Brexit deal - they had previously pushed through a motion of a type called a "humble address" - basically a petition to the Queen (who is the head of state, and nominally in control of the Government), asking for the documents to be published. When the Government tried to wriggle out of it, there was a debate, followed by a vote on a motion that the Government was in contempt of Parliament (kind of like Contempt of Court, but more so). The Government lost, and immediately published the papers.

So be in no doubt, the UK Parliament (and a bunch of others), are all really p*ssed off with FB and other tech companies giving them the runaround. They are fighting back with the weapons they have, which turn out to be pretty toothy.

I guess that if you broke an NDA saying "You may not release this data to a government" you might get sued in a US court, but would a jury convict?
Just an idea - you could try putting them to bed 15 min earlier every few days, and if they have trouble sleeping put on a short kids audiobook. Two of the most peaceful I know of from Audible are “The Tailor of Gloucester” read by Meryl Streep and “The Little House”.

My view is those people are banking on stock market performance that is influenced by a massive bubble still underway. I think in 3-5 years a bunch of them will regret this decision, as their net worths will have been cut in half or worse. I’m curious what you think about that.
This happened to a family member of mine, here in Toronto. Lost their gorgeous M5.

Their kid normally wakes up in the middle of the night, except this time, he freaked right out like he was scared. They were wondering what was going on with him, when one of the parents heard the M5 turn on (it's pretty distinct). "That's my car!" His wife said, "Naw, you're crazy, no way."

Sure enough, enough, key fob attack and theft. Caught on their video cameras. Filed the police report, claimed insurance, cried internally about the loss of a gorgeous vehicle. In all seriousness though, it's just a car, so no big deal, but nothing will fix the violation you feel, and the fact that you were being targeted.

If I were the insurance companies, I'd be putting pressure on the car companies, but hey, maybe it's just the cost of doing business for them. Better to pay out for a vehicle theft, vs. actual injuries from a collision. That's probably why there's little incentive to fix it, especially if fixing it makes your product less convenient.
I ended up taking less, was just looking at this today actually.

2) They notice it because they're used to getting it for free. Do people notice pay-renting in the US because everyone needs to sleep somewhere? Or do we just understand that using land comes with a cost?
