I haven't even heard of these things, and your description sounds like so much effort I'm not even going to be looking this tech up. If it's more than "install using an installer, not a terminal, and then it just works(tm)", it's not the kind of thing that's going to get people who weren't already on board, on board.
I would argue instead that instead the nature profanity changed.

Currently, the NYT does not print certain vulgar epithets which pertain to race and sexual orientation.

The NYT now does print certain vulgar words which pertain to religious blasphemy and bodily functions.

Perhaps it mirrors a societal shift in strongly held beliefs.
If you want a cheap, fairly good mobile plan ... try Mint SIM. You can choose Verizon, AT&T, or TMobile networks. You prepay for your plans. A 5GB, unlimited call, unlimited text plan is about $15/month. The cheapest I've found.

Only downside is my texts don't always download when I'm on Wifi, so sometimes I have to disconnect to download my texts, and then reconnect to wifi. Annoying but not a deal breaker.
I think it could be reasonably argued that taxation, if not mismanaged, can actually increase net innovation by allowing more people the freedom, security, and education needed in order to be able to spend time innovating instead of surviving.

The whole reason the priesthood (and to an extent nobles too) was the core of education way back in medieval times was because they didn't have to worry about surviving. On the other hand, peasants could barely innovate at all because they spent most if not all of their time in labor.
This is like wanting to go faster, but being afraid to press the gas pedal, because you're afraid to go too fast and get into an accident.

To get inflation, you need enough of an increase in demand to create bottlenecks (not enough sellers to meet demand). But an increase in demand (hopefully somewhat less than that) is also what you need for economic growth.

In fact, that's what economic growth is for. People benefit from being able to buy more of what they need. This is a good thing!

Getting the balance right can be tricky, but they're not opposites.
The exposure limits for lasers in the 1500nm range are almost certainly set by the intensity at which they cause photochemical cataracts. The geometry just doesn't work out for the exposure limits to be set by anything else; a non-visible laser 1500x as powerful as a legal-limit visible-light laser would still only heat the cornea up a hundredth as much as the legal-limit visible-light laser would the retina (intensity at cornea 1/200000th that of intensity at retina, see my comment below [4]). Physical damage to the retina starts around 10 degrees C, so this means that an exposure-limit non-visible laser might change the temperature of your cornea by a tenth of a degree. The normal range for corneal temperature is thirty celsius wide [1, 2] because it's strongly affected by air temperature and air movement. Corneal temperature is controlled to stay below 33-35 Celsius in extremely hot environments (45 C). Studies on microwave burns support this, saying that you have to get rabbit corneas up to 41 degrees C for cataracts to even start to form, implying a reasonable safety factor [3]. Under normal conditions (still air at room temperature), corneal temperature hovers closer to 30 degrees C. A tenth or a hundredth of a degree just isn't going to do anything when the system normally has ten degrees of safety. The vitreous humor varies less but still varies pretty significantly. Conclusion, the exposure limits for 1500nm lasers are not set by thermal damage.

It's generally safe to assume that you're not going to think about this for ten seconds and discover a danger that has been missed by every single person to ever contribute to the exposure limits by thought or by case study.

Why shaked up versus shaken up?
I wonder if Bird could start going after people in civil courts over "stealing" their scooters.

Could be a new revenue model for them when all the towns kick them out.
I wonder if some of the horror stories are partially attributable to technical folks being bad at interpersonal dynamics.

I can see crunch situations (ship deadline approaching, much work to be done) demanding a lot of communication skills between managers and developers for everyone to feel good.

If someone on either side drops the ball (being overly aggressive / under appreciating, failing to clearly communicate work-life limits and expectations), it ends very ugly.
Hey dublin, I'm on the OneNote team. Thank you for the feedback. I had a few follow-up questions for you:

- OneNote lets you nest multiple levels of sections and pages. Is this the tree-structure you're looking for?

- You can add tags and search for tags now in both OneNote for Win10 and Mac. Once you've given it a try, can you tell me if that's the tagging support you're looking for?

- Besides the lack of the radial menus, what else about pen/touch use is painful for you? Is this in OneNote for Win10 or OneNote 2016?

Thanks!

Refined sugar seriously isn't poison. Please, I mean that sincerely, stop obsessing over extreme views of diet and nutrition. It is likely not good for your mental health.

It is well established in mainstream nutrition the health effects of high calorie diets. It is also well established that refined sugar is not magically so much worse than any other way to eat a high calorie diet. Obviously, no one thinks drinking soda(or eating pizza etc) all day is good for you. And drinking soda is well agreed to be an easy way to significantly increase to caloric intake. The difference we tend to be able to measure is based upon behavioral nutrition. Not the actual direct consumption.

Seriously, I'm not sure why you, and others, feel compelled to yell to the hills about the secret poisons of sugar. I realize that it is difficult to see who is on the other side of these forums and it is possible that you may have a diagnosed mental health issue that causes you to obsess over something like this. If so I apologize. But if not, please think about why you are so adamant and upset about something like refined sugar.

Is anyone aware of any studies out there about people who obsess about nutrition information? Is it possible that people that get so wrapped up in this are suffering from similar issues in the brain that cause eating disorders?

I always find if fascinating that diet and nutrition discussions on HN seem to be a topic that brings out many very impassioned comments like the one I'm replying to. What is it about diet and nutrition specifically that causes it to inspire such extreme views and excitement?
Would being interested in collaborating on something like this.
There is no contradiction in wanting a small federal government and being in favor of local governments making rules to better the daily life of citizens, or accomplish any other goal. It’s well in line with the concept of subsidiarity, a hallmark of most strands of conservatism.
Sounds like a lot of cities are handling them like abandoned cars.

Probably the difference between hardware and software. If apple canned airplay I'd be pretty pissed. They discontinued their routers but I still use their airport extreme to good effect.
What makes me sad is that the latest and most capable calculator from HP (the HP Prime) seems to use something like Pascal. After 30 years they come up with something like Pascal? Instead of what they had in 1988?

Back then they used a variant of Lisp: RPL (Reverse Polish Lisp)
I'm going to miss this. I was one of the 10%. I would download a video so I didn't have to download it over mobile for my commute. Then I could watch it on the bus while working problems on my laptop.

This isn't a huge loss as 4 years ago I didn't have as much data as I do now. I'll get over it, but I'm still sad.
If money is the soul reason you're working, it's pretty hard to beat FAANG. Came from FAANG and now doing the startup thing. The experience you learn at startup is priceless. But don't come in thinking you'll get rich. That's the gravy part.
If the question in your mind how in the heck are we going to make money doing this and simply cannot be answered why bother with it?
It seems just as unlikely that Cast is going to disappear
Many US states have this place where you get you ID. It's often called the department of motor vehicles and is notorious for being a huge pain to deal with. Most places where the government works well in this capacity probably doesn't have companies pulling this kind of shit. Any Germans in the audience?
The blue wires on the ThinkPads look like standard CAT Ethernet. Is this the case?
Different waters definitely have different flavours, the water at my parents' village in UK came from a local well and was almost sweet and very rounded. Whilst our local city water is flat, uninteresting and at times strongly "chemically" (chlorine-y).

We already have this system in the US. It's called a notary public. It works pretty well. Google just chooses to not use it.
Have they tried tweaking with the formula to just use less sweetener in the first place?

I'm a dark chocolate guy - anything less than 70% isn't "chocolate". So I'm wondering if there's a market for Coke Bitter, now with 15% less sugar than regular Coke.
Actually, former Payments Googler here. I have a pretty good idea what could have happened. I will escalate this internally. And no, it shouldn't require a Googler to fix it; something has gone wrong.

Tea! It's literally water with taste.

If you don't like hot beverages, make it iced. If you don't want to make some all the time, use a bigger kettle.
Hmm. I seem to recall AT&T figuring out, about 1927, that they could amplify long-distance signals better (with less noise) by adding some negative feedback.

I know it's only an analogy, but maybe the Internet amplifies too well, and therefore the noise gets amplified much too well. Maybe the internet (especially the echo chamber parts) need some negative feedback.
What If Cities Are No Longer the Land of Opportunity for Low-Skilled Workers?
That does seem to be a feature in the game industry -- a lot riding on bonuses (and often the contract terms defining their payout).

And when you have compensation terms without being empowered to influence them... burnout.

Capricious bonus terms with a large public company always felt slimy to me. It seems a pretty large conflict of interest. In contrast to: 'We agree on what my work is worth, if I don't do the work as expected then you fire me.'
Somebody should make an easy to install home server with a standard API to access data. People will start decentralizing on their own when you can just buy a box and do some basic configuration, and have a secure home web server. And then developers will build on the decentralized platform because it has users.
Perhaps this is an America-centric point of view, but almost everyone has multiple cards.

You can also use a prepaid credit or cash gift card to create an account or pay for Apple content.

Perhaps this US centrism colors Apple's view as well?
I understand your viewpoint, but aren't you assuming that the "guy advocating unit tests" has the option of choosing a type-safe language? In my experience, the programmers rarely have the power to choose the programming language. In fact, they were probably hired because of their expertise in the language already being used.

Just saying, if I'm writing Python and advocating unit-tests... even of TypeError exceptions and similar problems that would be avoided by using Golang... it's probably because I know these are common problems in Python/JS/non-type-safe languages, and I probably don't have the power to choose a different language than the one already being used by my company/development organization.
If the homeowner left the scooter there would you feel better about it? What if it was his own personally owned scooter?
I really think the new kind of start up financing is going to explode. It is just inevitable, under the standard VC system, that there is going to be conflicts of interest. The VC's are going to push for growth and an IPO as quickly as possible in order to ensure that their money is protected. On the other hand, the CEO's of the startup's recognize the need for growth, but would like to do so in a more sustainable, organic method.

This new method of raising capital that the article mentions might not be the best method, but it offers a new approach. It offers something different, and I believe, will allow for other new methods to arise that will better support the entrepreneur.

That is a soft drink. You mean "commercially available [carbonated] soft drinks". I doubt you can really make that claim without a thorough analysis; there's a pretty big range of soft drinks available.
You can't separate human behavior from environment, period.

They've found genes that sort of predict violent behavior, but only if the person carrying the gene is subjected to abuse; which means that the gene probably predicts higher sensitivity to abuse rather than a violent nature.

You're pretending that labeling some people evil because they have the wrong genetics is a solution, it isn't.

Forth is the language that taught me (among other things) that its possible to break problems into pieces that are too small to understand the whole.

I'm not sure really what to call this other than something along the lines of can't see the forest for the trees. Its the opposite of having functions so large it takes hours to figure out what they do. In this case you have words that you can't figure out what they do for days because the call graphs step across 300 different modules and 10k other words all of which are like "update-pie-with-apples" and comprise two other words "dup pie, apple-pie-update" or something.
And that's the same deal with Geo IP, which this sub thread is about.

The point in 1:6,000 is that whether it's ad targeting or just regular internet traffic, there isnt enough specificity to "leak" data about the person.

You can split hairs over, "Well what of they join that 1:6000 with other PII" and it's the same with Geo IP. The user gives up that data but it's not different than just visit the page normally.
Good question.

It does seem like good games are won and lost in pre-production.

Which is unfortunate, given so much of the team gets staffed after those decisions are made (as I understand it).
> Despite their size and breadth, they still don't understand customer support.

Cue Larry Page's view on customer support circa 2000, and it still makes sense. Leaders fundamentally don't change views like that, and it impacts the organization - look at Zuckerberg's formative views on privacy.
American conservatives (as opposed to libertarians) aren't particularly for limited government, they are for government doing conservative things, and for limited US federal government, because the US federal government has been, from time-to-time, known to step in with great force to stop subordinate governments from doing things American conservatives quite liked.
Dammit, just bought one of these with their holiday 75% off sale.
I was just using T-Mobile as another example. OP wants to move from Google Fi to something else, and the reddit poster wanted to move from T-Mobile to something else. I wasn't suggesting a port from T-Mobile to Fi.
Interesting, thanks for the explanation. In your example of what it took to change the system re smoking, you've described the effects of the "levers" that I listed above. In other words, Donella's list is better viewed is descriptive, not prescriptive. Maybe a better way to describe her list would be not as "places to intervene in a system", but lenses through which to view the changes wrought by the levers we have?

Anyways, it still seems to me that taxes are one of the primary tools we have to effect change, and the taxes themselves (individually or together with what we then do with the money generated) can fulfill most, if not all, of the categories on Donella's list.
Do you care about your microwave showing the correct date? Does your microwave even keep track of the date?

Devices like your microwave won't magically stop working in 2038. For most non-networked and, in 2038, ancient appliances, there shouldn't be that much of a problem.
A public HD livestream would be world changing. Right now access to real time, high resolution satellite imagery is still restricted to large organizations. Only some rocket launches have some views from above.
The SEC shutdown is blocking IPOs and would delay any mergers that need SEC approval. So it's a harm to business operations.
I certainly hope traffic lights are never connected to the internet.
Depending on the registrar, updating glue records can be a separate process that requires additional authentication. Not long ago my registrar required me to contact them directly to update glue records.

Offline signing is a very useful feature precisely because it makes it easier to differentiate security domains. For example, I could use offline signing for foo.com (along with a registrar lock) but delegate the subdomain dyn.foo.com to a separate SOA that uses real-time signing (or none at all) for use by internal services.

The problem with the modern web PKI is that, as a practical matter, everybody is forced to put their private keys not only online, but unprotected (because HSM and PKCS#11 support isn't that great, yet).[1] Key rotation and certificate expiration doesn't really solve the problem; in fact, rotation exacerbates the problem by 1) forcing you to keep the CA keys online, and 2) incentivizing increasingly loose authorization policies.

Offline signing makes it easier to manage risk in a more robust manner. It's a tool, not a panacea; a tool conspicuously missing from TLS infrastructure. Some newer projects like Wireguard have effectively turned asymmetric key authentication systems into something that walks and quacks exactly like shared passwords. They do it because key management is a hard problem. But I'm not ready to throw in the towel, and the option (both officially and as a practical choice) of offline key signing in DNSSEC is under appreciated. From a security perspective, allowing people to enumerate my subdomains is a small price to pay for permitting me to keep my private keys offline. I don't expect everybody to make that calculation, but it bothers me that people fail to see the value at all.

[1] People faithfully recite the mantra "encrypt at rest" as if that means something. Data at rest is useless. If your data is worth anything then you're going to actually be, you know, using it, and if it's not protected in use then it's all just security theater. This is most clear with the private keys (e.g. stored "encrypted at rest" in KMS) used by cloud services for acquiring access tokens. It's 2019 and industry is still basically using shared passwords--tons of them, a complex web of passwords dutifully pushed around the network by layers of complex software. As if any of it matters to someone who has figured out how to penetrate your network; as if 5 minute or even 5 second password rotation matters to the guy who already figured out how to automate penetration onto your systems.
Well, when I got on the internet in 1988, we were all 'smart, high-agency people who have time to spare'

Supposing we manage to solve this problem, what's to say average people can't participate in 10 years or so or so when the tech has been made easier to use?
Based on the feedback from my previous experiment[1], I wrote an in-depth article about the accelerometer unit I built. In this article, I describe how I built it, how it works, and how you can build your own for under $50! The project is open-sourced and it uses off-the-shelf components. Data analysis was done using Python, Pandas, and Plotly.

I hope that this content is high quality enough to justify the time you spend reading it, and how much time it took me to create it!

I’d love to hear your feedback and answer any questions!

“China is something Apple could easily survive, it could also be stopped from making iPhones for export. That would be a company-ending event should it ever transpire.”

In that case forget the iphone Apple could sell potassium iodide pills and bomb shelters when chimerica finally explodes

[edit alright explain how the peace will be maintained if China arbitrarily destroys Apple? Thats hundreds of billions destroyed instantly. How could china ever regain our trust? Most trade in the world go between us and them. That will end almost over night. There is a state of war already between us, beyond just trade. Otherwise hey guys come right in and take all of our military tech. It's just between friends right? Friends don't hack each other.]
A month ago, my regular Google Home (which basically includes all of the Chromecast Audio functionality) would very frequently randomly stop playing music when a song ended. Maybe it would be able to play about 3 songs on average before stopping. It was the main thing I'd do with my Google Homes so I was pretty mad. But the issue suddenly went away about a month ago, sooo that's cool I guess.

The problem with centralized identification is that it doesn't actually solve anything, it only outsources it to a less security-competent entity which would be an even bigger target for fraud and corruption.

Creating one single place to change your address gives the attacker one single place to change your address. Compromise one system, bribe one police officer or DMV employee, get nation-wide root access to everything.

And how does it even solve the problem? The problem isn't that Google doesn't know whether you're John Smith. It's that Google thinks John Smith is a scammer they won't do business with, and they aren't willing to spend their resources helping you to clear your name.
