I agree... I really advocate for an equilibrium between property and liberty.

But throurough my short life on earth I've perceived a stronger pull towards property which (again, seeking equlibrium) makes me use a more extreme language in support of the other viewpoint... counterbalance.

OK, but it is worth mentioning, then, that the quantum theory as it has developed in the later years has, in fact, rejected the idea of the light quanta as Einstein thought of them, being "particles of light," i.e. something that is localized in space, whereas Planck's notion of energy quanta (or energy quantization, of the light wave or in general) has remained in force.

I'm not that bothered about the type of privacy Chrome invades. If someone put a camera in my bedroom I'm bothered but if Google knows I'm thinking of fixing my washing machine and tries to advertise to me it doesn't bother me.

But say that and you get down voted etc by the "people screaming their lungs out about privacy" crowd. So us types kind of keep quiet.
I just searched this page to see if anyone had mentioned this subreddit. It is really useful. Follow the measurement guide carefully and look at recommendations of brands. I did so, ordered four styles, and had 2 solid wins, 1 ok, and one 'depends on the day'. That's way better than average.

For discussions of price in this thread, I consider a good bra a worthwhile luxury and will pay up to $100. For most of the bras I bought using the reddit guidance, I paid about $67 on sale. I will not pay more than $100 at this point; that just doesn't fit my priorities. Double my salary and I'd consider it.
> I don’t understand how American startups can take money from China, or how Google and others can work with them. They’re in a soft war with us, have a 100 year plan yet we’re all so naive.

I don't think all the cencorship out there are good; and I don't think all of them are bad as well. More importantly, I don't think my view on cencorship is the point here. My point is, Google should not be the one who fight against any laws.

As an example, in Saudi Arabia, all women are required to wear an abaya a long black cloak that covers all, but the hands and face in public. [1] Is that a good law? I don't know. But if Google wants to do business there, e.g. some female Google employee went on business trip in Saudi Arabia, she needs to obey the law there. Of course Google can choose not to do any business in Saudi Arabia. Google can even exits Saudi Arabia as a sign of protesting this law. But if I were a Saudi Arabia resident who would suffer from lack of access to information online, I would certainly hope Google does not do this.

To answer your question, I found this work [1] that uses yield curve information and a basic 200-day moving average. The rule it uses is simple: Go to cash if: (1) yield curve of 10-year treasury minus 2-year treasury has inverted and (2) S&P is below 95% of its 200-day moving average and (3) the next recession has not yet occurred. If in cash, buy if S&P is above 103% of its 200-day moving average.

As can be seen, based on historical data from 1950-now the yield curve signal beats S&P 500 marginally (+110 basis points annually). However, I would not implement it as is, because this could be noise. Looking at the two tables above, the yield curve + 200MA strategy exhibits a problem commonly seen using these types of moving average strategies--whipsaws--which means buying in at a price and being forced by the strategy to sell at a lower price. In table 1, Buy in at at 65.24 and sell at 62.93 is an example of a whipsaw. [2] is an excellent resource if you are interested in learning more about these types of strategies.

In a front wheel drive card I sometimes accelerate to pull the back-end back behind. All-wheel-drive is similar, you can give a bit of gas to let the tires claw towards the direction you want.

I'm switching from an AWD sedan to a pickup truck soon. I'm a bit worried I won't have these maneuvers to help out if I slide in a truck.
Commuting to work via something other than a car is attainable nearly anywhere though. I've been doing it for a decade in central Georgia/Raleigh/Durham/Seattle/Denver. The other side of the coin is that if you do need to drive in (for whatever reason...carrying something large, need to do errands...) it's actually possible.
Reason is an interesting approach to the "JS problem", a better one than TS and Dart.

It's not - one of the first things Giuliani did in NYC was get rid of the squeegee men, and other cities followed suit.

Show HN: Slite (YC W18) Simple knowledge tool for teams now on mobile
Hi HN!

We just released [Slite](slite.com) on iOS and Android 9 months after [our launch](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16476092)!

Slite is a super simple and carefully designed tool for teams to collaborate on their knowledge (wether it's meeting note or longer lasting pieces like wikis & handbooks). As one of our core promise is to enforce the habits of teams to write and share, mobile was an absolutely key piece. We really want Slite to be a universal tool used by all people in teams, which explains why we released on Android & iOS at the same time (the app is built in RN).

Check it out and if you have any questions or feedback, we'd love to hear from you and all the team would be happy to help. Please share your thoughts in the comments!

These arguments are pretty weak and end up doing more harm than saying nothing.

There are strong arguments in favor of limiting copyright as it was originally intended (in the US constitution at least). Where the limited time monopoly exists to incentivize people to create, but where the goal is to promote the progress of science and useful arts for the public benefit.

Long term ownership and control can stifle science and art with owners shutting down tenuously connected derivative work.

There is a lot of inaccurate reporting on this. Fentanyl and many analogs have been controlled substances in China for some times. However chemists keep on coming out with new variations of the chemical that are not on the list. Now China promised to put the whole category of chemicals on the list. However they will need to revise their laws to give their FDA the power to do so, and that will take some time to carry out. See also https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/geopolitics/article/2176358/f...

Never ever ever gonna happen, although some progress can be made in areas: D is working (Quite a lot done already) it's way to being ABI compatible with C++.

What could be done, however, is to provide an ABI-as-a-library at each end then pass that with the C interface. Textual Specification, statically processed at each end into some kind of parser type thing. Still borderline suicidal effort, however, as not all languages (Go, I think?) treat the address space equally among a clusterfuck of other things. Any form of parametric polymorphism would be a disaster too, I assume.

The "even in Incognito" part of this is certainly the biggest result I see. And I agree on the study limitation; attempting to clean up localization effects after the fact doesn't feel like a strong fix. It should be possible to isolate device and location effects by using multiple devices in one location, then VPN-ing one device to multiple 'locations'.

One thing that caught my eye was Google's response about Incognito:

> The company did confirm that it does not personalize results for incognito searches using signed-in search history, and it also confirmed that it does not personalize results for the Top Stories row or the News tab in search.

Since it's a corporate reply, the standard question is what's not present: a statement that Incognito isn't personalized, or isn't personalized beyond device type and location. Perhaps I'm too cynical, but "we don't personalize using X" parses as "we do personalize in other ways".
Oh look, it's Windows CE all over again.
Most of the reporting suggesting this was coming from spam games that sold literally <10 copies on Steam and requested 100k copies for Russian penny bundles.

Unplugging a laptop from the mains is definitely a thing still.
What good is any IP law(s) if we know they won't be enforced?

The idea that China is going stop their IP theft is ridiculous.
In comparing two people's incognito results, you have no idea if they hit the same search clusters. Were they in the same room? Same ISP? Same geographical region? Same continent? If I issue the same search back to back in different windows, I have a good chance of hitting the same cluster. But I still have no guarantee. Many years ago, SEO people figured that some Google IPs would serve new versions of the ranking algorithms earlier than the rest. Even those were not stable and definitely not a guarantee, given how GSLB works: https://searchengineland.com/google-caffeine-now-live-on-one...

I have no clue how DDG works, but I am familiar with the Google search infrastructure as of several years ago and if you told me that the same query should always return the same identical results, I would tell you that you just don't know how Google works, even if you ignore personal results. That made monitoring and catching regressions not fun. It's better than running searches days or weeks apart, but running queries at the same time as they did does not guarantee anything, sorry.

Keep also in mind that the average query goes through thousands of machines, according to public statements. Behavior at the long tail can differ for obvious reasons. From a Jeff Dean talk, https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...

| Some issues:

| –Variance: query touches 1000s of machines, not dozens

| • e.g. randomized cron jobs caused us trouble for a while

| -Availability: 1 or few replicas of each doc’s index data

| • Availability of index data when machine failed (esp for important docs): replicate important docs

> With emacs/vim (etc) you can edit text from within a terminal, which becomes quite helpful when you SSH in somewhere.

A very underappreciated functionality. Over the past few months, a good 30% of my work was done this way - by SSHing from my el cheapo Windows 2-in-1 to my much more powerful Linux desktop, and using Emacs in terminal mode. With terminal set to xterm-256, it looks almost as if it was GUI Emacs, and has almost all the same functionalities available. I'm a remote worker now, but this workflow adds an extra order of magnitude more flexibility to my work day, as I can leave my environment running when I go on an errand, and pick the work up in a long queue, or on a bus.

It's one small thing, but the power of Emacs is really in how all those small little things compose together into a powerful environment you can use from almost everywhere, and on almost everything.

Similar story here.

I work remotely, and my previous employer wanted me to come up to the office for a few days as we did every now and then.

But I didn't really want to go this time, I had other obligations, but ended up going anyway.

Expense report time comes around, and they complain that I don't have the receipt from the rental car company that includes the gas refill information, so they aren't paying that, and they pushed back on the $7-per-day economy parking I had my car in for the week.

So I looked over the handbook and some stuff in Concur, saw that I was entitled to like $10 for a breakfast each morning, and like $20 for dinner each night without a receipt. So I added a couple of those in there, it all added up, and they happily paid it...

And while that alone wasn't a major reason I left the company, stupid penny-pinching stuff like it was a big part of it.
This is largely ancillary to your point but I don't think that Washington, London, Paris, etc consider South Africa and Ukraine to be members of that club.
> Google is almost certainly using canvas fingerprinting

Since that's a client side mechanism it should be rather simple to find out, no? (eg. an addon that injects tracking into the DOM accessors necessary to get at the canvas)
> 4. Most city parking spots are controlled by guys who "take care" of your car while you're away for notes (really your car would be better off without them, they sometimes scratch your car if you don't pay).

I've had this happen at a large city in the midwest US.

They basically said, "most people here will break into your car. give us a few bucks and we'll make sure no one does." I didn't want to, but I figured its a few bucks and gave them it.

I got out of the concert and went back to my car. They were still walking around. They ran up and talked to us a bit, said nothing happened, thanked us again for the money and offered us a hamburger from McDonalds.

I'm not sure if they were "good" guys or bad guys yet, but they are around.

Which is probably the reason they open-sourced it... Not much difference anyway.
Having lived in Nigeria while growing up (and specifically Lagos part of that time), I've always been proud of how remarkably exciting it can be to drive there. My pride swelled considerably when a friend who grew up in India and also lived in Cairo and other places told me after visiting Nigeria that Lagos had the wildest driving he had ever seen! As crazy as some find it to be, just like in many similar places, the drivers seem to find a rhythm to work together quickly, communicate whereabouts by horn frequently, and thus avoid accidents more than one might expect.

*edit: "find it to be"

It's interesting the tone of the blog as well, I bet if that article was written today it would've had a lot more rigor around the language being used.

Lol what? You realize that the Amazon rainforest gets cut down to make room for growing more future McDonald's hamburger patties, right? And that southeast Asian rainforests are being destroyed to make palm oil for Cadbury eggs? Did you forget about how big a deal it was when China decided it was going to stop importing our garbage? First world countries are "better environmental stewards" simply because we exported the environmental damage our consumerist lifestyles generate off to poorer countries with less infrastructure and regulatory oversight. We're not better, we just made it their problem to deal with and are destroying their backyards instead of ours. At the end of the day, we're still the real problem. This notion that they're more of a problem than we are is p much just victim blaming imo.

> Not sure what you're getting at when you say ACID transactions don't work in a multi-DC context.

I expect they are talking about DC as _regions_, not DC as _availability zones_ (in the AWS parlance).

Planetary databases hit latency issues on cross-region ACID transactions. Whatever the sharding, a transaction modifying one piece whose leader is in Paris and another in Beijing will have at least the round-trip time between the two.

It is already unforgiving at that scale, and will become inadmissible at interplanetary scale, requiring some form of eventual consistency.

However, I still expect that we will retain ACID operations for local changes. Humans tolerate latencies that are necessary for planetary ACID transactions. The combination of the size of the Earth and the speed of light is a lucky draw.
