I like the idea but it doesn't go anywhere near far enough.

I feel like the web has become that "City of Destruction" that is talked about in "Pilgrim's Progress"; something like 95% of the bytes transferred are just junk.

I am not at all interested in "seeing the content the way the created intended it", I really would rather decompose it into a semantic graph and then put it together to show me what is relevant.

That means no Javascript. If I have to have a malware player so I can use the junkware of the day I'll use Chrome.
Interesting challenge: how to design that button to make it conform to mandated guidelines on its appearance, size, position and wording whilst also making it look enough like the sort of probable-scam advert users generally ignore to limit the number of Facebook members who actually claim it. Facebook probably has data to help them with that too :D

Sorry for my poor English, I meant if a bus is constantly full people start avoiding it simply because of discomfort, in few times request to bring more buses/more frequent lines start to rain to the transport company and as a result we get more buses used at a lower capacity or more private transport to avoid discomfort...
Wow, way to assume the worst out of something that's obviously well intentioned.

They're saying, "we've tested this to work without any code changes, but since we're not Gods there might be some edge case we missed. In that case, please let us know so we can fix it for you and everyone else who might have the same issue."
I did. So what? I have acquired some Google, Amazon, Apple and Nvidia in August 2007 - guess how much times it's higher now?
1. Uber could be profitable by not expanding. They stated that there are a number of markets in which they're profitable. It seems to be a decision as well to aggressively expand. These arguments seem to be backing into an argument why Uber is not like other things.

2. I'm commenting on what the article wrote. Of course there are competitors. I was pointing out the logical fallacy in the article. Easy to copy but no one successfully copied it.

3. So the market doesn't benefit drivers but the market is growing in drivers? Apparently the downsides of joining the market is less than the upsides evidenced by the fact that it's growing

4. The article claims there are little or no benefits to markets in Cabs. The fact that Uber has grown to this size questions that assertion. And your statement that there are other competitors also questions the articles assertion. So we're in agreement here

5. No idea but I assume the skin in the game that has invested billions has reason to believe so. Or maybe everyone else is stupid.
Hi there, bit of a lisp fanatic so excited to see this. Just some questions:
I'm not very knowledgeable about browser architecture, and my search foo is failing at a first try, could you provide a couple of links on what you mean by "controller"?
My second question is probably dependent on the first, but:
are you worried that using xml-rpc is going to be a bottleneck?
last question: I'm a little worried about the note on the installation page to modify the kernel for a userland app to change root, could you reassure me that I'm just an ignorant fool that simply doesn't understand whats going on here?
these might seem adversarial, but I promise, I'm actually really excited for this, I just want to understand whats happening. I'm grabbing a copy of the source and will definitely be sifting through it over the holidays, good luck!
Surprised to see .theguardian tld there.

It seems like you've really missed the crucial part.
The whole point is to have a theory which will mirror the relations of objects in the world not the objects themselves. The former leads to truth, the latter is silly.
All the interpretations stuff you read about is, unluckily (for the public image of physicists), a fools game. QM is as it was 100 years ago and no progress has ever been made in the "foundations of quantum mechanics", most people who work in this area are either philosophers or very confused physicists.
Who's to blame for this state of affairs? Well, there has been plenty of wrong stuff said about QM in media and even in academia. Part of the problem is that people still insist on using the old classical language in the description of quantum experiments.
Examples:
* "nonlocality" - quantum theory is a local theory, it's only when you assume that it's "classical in disguise" you get nonsense
* "delayed choice" - should have rather be called "post-factum reasoning"

As I said before if you really dig down deep, you'll realize that this is because our classical macroscopic quantities like "value of momentum", "magnetic moment" etc. are not the same things that exist "down there". The language of nature turns out to be much more subtle. Quantum Mechanics is really the best you can get when you try to hold on to the old classical ideas. Thus an alternative to QM would most likely have nothing to do with classical mechanics at all, it would need to be something entirely new.
this seems like a hole in their design, additional access is being granted without the user really knowing what is going on and they are deliberately keeping the user out of the loop.

at least, that is how I am interpreting it, it seems that the functionality of their software is not functioning in the 'spirit' of what it is suppose to be doing.

>I've had some of the best lucid dreams I've ever had while my sleep was disrupted by living in the second story of a building smack dab in the corner of a very busy street corner

Though not during the day, I lived in a second floor apartment that overlooked a traffic circle that had an elevated subway stop, was a main route for ambulances going to the hospital a block away, and a crucial interchange for traffic entering/existing that part of the city. I barely slept for the first few days and then got the best sleep of my life. I rarely woke up for anything other than my nightly trip to the restroom.

Fast forward a few years and I now live in the suburbs. I've been woken up several times in the past month by the sounds of a mouse scurrying in the ceiling of an adjacent room.
Testing costs are not that much compared to the manufacturing. Especially if they are using carbon fiber composites.

Although I think the best result is that they get an much more detailed look at how their rocket parts are performing. Telemetry is great, but when you can inspect the actual part you can improve on things that may end up being a problem down the line. That's how block 5 boosters came about for the most part.
The iOS community is a good indicator that a python style language is preferred, people interview in Swift even for objective c roles.
Yup, this is why if you really want to be hands-off with your wealth and put it in the hands of an independent professional, look for FEE BASED financial advisors/wealth planners. Finding one via NAPFA is one's best bet.

Now remember that Facebook has made agreements with phone manufacturers to have fb installed by default and made un-uninstallable, with all the default permissions to share the users data whether they ever log in and use the app or not!

Sidenote: I've noticed via umatrix that Netflix on pc, during a show, is attempting to load fb js... Netflix wtf!
That was an educational read, and gave me a good idea of an efficient strategy for deploying static web sites/apps.

I wonder how this could work with server-side rendered apps or pages?

EDIT: Aha, since index.html (only) is dynamically generated and can be populated with pre-rendered state and content.
Idk, I was no longer an active user when they did their user hostile redesign after lots of internal political struggle between conde nast and the volunteer mods that actually run the site. But sweet baby jesus is it bad now. While I used to drop by when linked in a relevant search query, i now know Ill just get a nagware screen and skip it altoghether. Yeah, I know I can switch to desktop mode and reload, but no thanks, I already got your message to me loud and clear. They did at least change more slowly, with gradual trimming of offensive content, and a better subbreddit containment system for those they are allowing to stay for now.
I "retired" in my mid-20s for about 3 years. I only went back to work when I ran out of money.

Describing complete freedom as "dull" is an insane concept to me. You can work out, read, watch TV, go to coffee shops, cook, or even just sit around all day with no commitments.
> He knows he can call the police - this isn't an action movie, and he's not the characters Jason Statham plays. If he is the characters Jason Statham plays, well, it doesn't really matter because he's not going to be caught anyway, and I'm left railing against the hypothetical thief that more often matches reality than your car getting stolen by the living embodiment of an action movie hero/anti-hero.

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.
Hopeless juvenile article which is all about the writer and her naive opinions. Wondering why this made it onto HN? Is there some nugget here I missed?
Mark Zuckerberg personally approved cutting off Vine’s friend-finding feature
It talks a lot about shame and misogyny and abuse of power, but doesn’t actually report on any instances of it other than “they hired pretty girls to party on the boat”, which I can assume were consensual transactions those women engaged in voluntarily.

Where is the big dirt she keeps alluding to? Are we just supposed to hate them by default for being rich and white and male and schlubby and tasteless?
When the WhatsApp acquisition happened while they had only a few dozen employees and were reportedly profitable off of their $1 per year business model, it was clear to me that the days when a small non-profit could run the world’s chat infrastructure weren’t far off.

That the Signal Foundation is now basically funded by interest earned on money made from that very WhatsApp sale is quite poetic.

I occasionally work with someone who is in a similar situation.

He just continued with his career and the associated stress level. The difference is that he drives a fancy car, and will walk away from a bad job.

I also suspect that he takes 2-8 month "funemployed" stints when he wants a vacation.
> My rule of thumb is that if a subject area includes the word "science" in its title, it is less likely to follow the scientific method.

Fortunately, most of the people in question study "economics", "psychology", "sociology", "anthropology", and so are exempt from this heuristic.
Hire a fiduciary management firm at 0.5% of invested assets per year--fee, not commission--to pay you 2.5% per year. This will likely last you forever, and then your heirs will get it, so also draw up a will and keep it current. Your annual income, inflation adjusted, will be about $200k, and probably increasing more often than decreasing. That's enough for some comfort and occasional luxury, but not very significant lifestyle change. Don't trade up unless you find that you can't spend everything your fiduciary firm is dumping into your account every month.

Keep working, but know now that you have "f-you money", and don't take crap from anyone. Don't retire until you can come up with a hobby that will occupy you for at least 4 hours per day, and your kids each have bachelor's degrees (if they want them) and their own place to live.

Now you can afford a nice, new car every two years. Make sure you do it, to support the used market for the rest of us.

Treat your spouse right, to avoid divorce--or even threat of divorce--at all costs. So buy your spouse's new car first.
Totally agree with you about React Native being easier for me anyway. I would love if accessibility was more built in. The original author submitted a PR for a basic bit of integration that looks fine but is being blocked from merging by a lint thing.

> Lastly, the insinuation of the article is that "unbiased" search results are clearly preferable. I'm not convinced. I for one like that STD for me is associated with the C++ standard namespace (which I search for all the time) rather than sexually transmitted diseases (which I luckily don't have to care about as much).

On the other hand, authors could find better names for their libraries ...

Further, there are different solutions, where the user has full control over the context of their search. For instance by maintaining a fully user-controlled list of keywords that is remembered by a cookie (which can be deleted as well).

I used to have a numeric lock immobilizer on 3 vehicles starting way back in the early 90s. You had to dial in a 4-6 digit PIN code on a pin pad in the vehicle in order to enable the ignition. You'd need to rip the whole dash apart to enable the ignition to bypass it.

Were these types of immobilizers never a thing here?
Who's obsessed with food: someone who eats three times a day or someone who tries not to eat at all? A society with a healthy attitude towards sex will have prostitution and pornography, because sex is normal and part of being human. I would say that a society obsessed with repressing sexuality has issues.

Congratulations! It won’t be ready for primetime until there’s a good adblocker — but now that it runs on Linux, folks like me can work on an adblocker for it.

I’m really excited for you & for your browser. I was a contributor to your Indiegogo campaign & was really bummed to see it fall short of the mark (although no doubt nowhere near as bummed as you were); it’s great to see that you’ve managed to move ahead nonetheless.

> If the deterministic chain comes out so, you will assign responsibility to the thief, even if it has no meaning to do so.

I describe a contrasting scenario further down the thread with the other poster, where the thief is now compelled to steal your car because his wife was taken hostage. Responsibility for stealing your car lies with the thief in one scenario but not the other. How would you make this distinction without free will?
The amount of time it takes to setup tune customize and debug emacs is no longer justifiable
It's possible. They are generally in bed by 8:30. We have tried experimenting with pushing it back to 8 and that did not have an obvious effect on their mornings and did make evenings a lot more miserable. Going even earlier than 8 is not really feasible given that dinner generally can't happen until 6pm.

(Our no-longer-elementary-schooler, by the way, never really had this problem. He just seems to sleep a lot less in general.... kids are different.)

>still people would be more lenient on the guy that stole a car to save his wife

No, people will be just as lenient as their puppet like automatic responses to chains of events created at the Big Bang dictate. All of those being set in stone in advance.

>If the free will doesn't exist - people can still evaluate what is good and bad using the concept of free will.

Evaluate means a process that examines the facts and can come into this or that result. But without free will (in pure determinism) there's no this or that result: just whatever is destined to be. Even the term "evaluation" is bogus, it's just an automatic reflex.

>Some people use the concept of God to define morality after all, and it certainly possible (s)he doesn't exist.

Which would make their morality meaningless. And so would the non-existence of free will.
So, FB gave some companies preferential access after removing it for devs, they surreptitiously collected phone data after given permission to, used cross-business analytics for M&A or competition info, was choosy and chatty about who got what data and its value.

I agree there are clear immoralities at play, especially with collecting phone call info, but not sure that it is worthy of a government inquiry of such size. Much of this is standard business and worthy of being decried as other immoral business acts might. Would we expect such an inquiry for any other company or are there politics at play? I feel the Cambridge Analytica issue is more which hunt than a real-harm-exacted issue. How would one quantify the harm? Is this vengeance for Brexit, Trump, and/or Zuck no-show?

All I've learned is to be cautious when having email conversations on sensitive subjects (no paper trail) and to be cautious when flying execs to the UK and to be cautious having any real business there for fear of having confidential information raided and published. Obviously it's not standard practice but, as with other government-imposed internet tactics of late, as a business owner it just marks an increase on my "riskometer" that I use to evaluate where to do business.
2018 was the year I adopted ddg, not because of privacy, but because google result sucks.

Almost every time I search, I don’t get a single result I want on the first page. The first 3 results are sponsored adds, then there is the Danish Wikipedia article (useless), then 3-6 advertisements pretending to be content, and then if I’m lucky something that was relevant 5 years ago.

DDG isn’t much better, but it’s better.

I’m not sure if search engines are really to blame though. With everyone being on Facebook, Medium, Quora, reddit, 4chan and so on, it’s like the web just stopped having content worth visiting.

If it wasn’t because HN gave me interesting content, I’m honestly not sure why I’d ever browse the internet anymore. But maybe I’m just getting grumpy.

It uses a challenge-response protocol, so you can’t simply record the signal and play it back.
I guess it comes down to what a search engine should assume your reason for searching is based on what you enter. If the query doesn't strongly imply I'm looking for "news about X"; "local opinion on X"; or "closest place related to X", I'd like it to assume I'm doing "research on X" so I get results that do not take my arbitrary location into account.
Ask HN: Should I hide medschool on my CV?
I am looking for a job in InfoSec and have applied for multiple positions but am being ignored by HRs. A friend of mine that works in a company I applied to says their HR didn't like that I'm studying medicine right now as that means I'll have less time to spend on the job. That's despite them offering part-time and flexible jobs and having a few IT students employed already.

I have worked as a sysadmin for five years and have wide experience with web, mail and db services, both Linux and Windows Server, have designed and deployed security solutions and carried out incident response. I'm also currently working as a developer in a Fortune 500 company. InfoSec was always my target over these years and I was choosing jobs specifically to gain experience in wide range of technologies. I went to pentest courses, have pretty good understanding of defensive strategies (threat modeling, identification of trust boundaries), follow InfoSec news - I feel qualified for a junior position.

Medicine is a fun hobby of mine and it didn't in any way interfere with jobs I had before (I'm a third year student). It actually taught me time management instead. But should I maybe hide it from my next employer? I live in a small European city and there aren't many options left, I'll have to apply for a regular dev position next.
Nice, clear summary.

I'd like to throw some more thoughts out there, though. Focusing overmuch on what Java did leaves the picture somewhat incomplete.

First off, I've seen some people suggest that type erasure is a problem because it leads to a loss of type safety. This isn't really true. Haskell, for example, also preserves no run-time type information. The difference there is really about strength of typing - Haskell is very strongly typed, whereas C is weakly typed, and Java falls somewhere in the middle.

Second, the Java convention of passing Class variables into generic methods in order to give them all the type information they need:

<T> T getT(Class[t] clazz) { ... }

looks a bit like the C/C++ type erasure pattern that the author mentioned in passing at the start of the article, if you squint at it.

My own sense is that the reason why type erasure was a problematic choice in Java is that it places Java in this uncomfortable middle ground where you have neither the robust compile-time type checking of a strong statically typed language like Haskell, nor the robust run-time reflection of a modern dynamic language. The end result, being robust at nothing, did not turn out to be the best of both worlds.
