If we’re gonna pull punches...

The US isn’t naive. In fact, it’s the opposite. It is a country that was so aware of the folly of government that it deliberately inhibited its own government by design. Because it knows damn well what happens when you relinquish control of yourself to another. That’s why the 2nd amendment is so fundamental.

The US doesn’t have to worry about things happening to the govt overnight, because the worry is built in. A successful model exits, it just needs to be followed...
we would end in the same place where we are now, apps would nag and require that we put them on the whitelist, I have a huawei mate 20 pro, the biggest reason thah I like this phone is the battery life. it has a huge battery and with agresive management I can go with 50% from morning till evening. there are only couple of apps in my whitelist. everything else its free to manage for me automatically. before that on my nexus device I got annoying notifications from my smart watch watchface app, that was using notifications for promotions and such.
There are more axes than character development or adherence to the constraints of current scientific understanding on which to judge a book.

To me, originality and "philosophical development", or how the perspective of science influences the future and nature of humanity are very important, and that's why I consider this series an absolute masterpiece.

It's great in the same vein as 2001: a space odyssey, or rendezvous with rama, or childhood's end
Some operations are quite tensor-ish. For instance the re-shaping which einops writes like this

Rearrange('b c h w -> b (c h w)')

is literally a tensor product of the vector spaces indexed by c,h,w. The same space that np.kron maps into (possibly modulo the order of indices) rather than np.hstack (of row vectors) which maps to the direct sum, ⊕ not ⊗.
For me too. Having that Commodore set me up for my future.
It would be great if some of the web sites like mygov or the ATO business portal used stuff like this instead of the brain dead frameworks they use now.
Well, it is artificial in the sense that it's meant to be code emitted by the code generator of a compiler for a high-level language with very different idioms. And the architectures of these early microcomputers obviously don't exactly prioritize being easy compiler targets.

That is the case in iOS. All permissions are optional and the app must gracefully degrade if permissions are denied.
That’s a solved problem on iOS. iOS itself keeps track of measurements coming from your device even when it’s sleep using the power efficient Mx chip. Applications can then - with user permissions - request the data when needed. This has been the case since 2013.

The app doesn’t need to be running in the background.
> All these stories are not really science fiction, but rather, science fantasy.

How do you define science fantasy?

I would agree Star Wars is fantasy, but I don't think Star Trek (pre Discovery) can be classed as fantasy. For example, a few of their concepts are now real, e.g. they envisioned tablets back in the 60s, now we have iPads etc. More is explored here: https://www.nasa.gov/topics/technology/features/star_trek.ht...
It is not a good thing to kill an alarm app then purposely ignore its registered alarms, or killing a media player the user wants to listen to in the background.

If you're looking for user friendly ways to request privileges, that solution should really be offered by core android in a way that works for manufacturers and users and probably won't appease all developers. App permissions systems have been a nightmare for users from the start so you can't expect users to learn a newly revamped permissions system. They'll just continue to ignore permissions on install and complained when their phones aren't working the way they expected. What's evolving out of the manufacturers is a simplified system that requires explicit permissions from the user after installation to enable problematic privileges and active governance to manage battery/data hogs.
Looking at comments from last week here on HN it seems to be _very_ common that the prices quoted are a fraction of what you then end up getting billed.

>I understand why manufactures are doing this

I really don't. User has power to uninstall or replace app that is in his opinion using too much power. There is no need for manufacturers to intervene. They should only display warning about app using too much power. But it seems killing app is so much easier for them.
Prices are about the same for the last 10 years.

Thanks - goal is not to build a job board. Goal is to move remote working forward. A job board is an obvious start if done well (note: we have a long way to go, right now).

Hiring from anywhere is amazing, but there are many challenges in paying and employing people from different countries. We hope to make some dent in that, but I'm aware that's going to be very hard.
The best war to help third world countries is absolutely to stop your country from invading them and meddling in their ways of life and economies through globalist economics and effectively encouraging poverty and inhumane labor abuse.

Stop outsourcing your guilt to globalists with your fancy NGO nonsense. That’s just more compartmentalizing.

As others replied; it does. But the API does not behave consistent on different brands and API levels.

Also some manufacturers cancel alarms when the user swipes away an app (which some users do constantly to keep the recent apps list "clean")
Nothing that a few convictions of hospital executives / accountants for fraud can't fix.
A lot of the issues are also caused by Google’s poor API design that is not well thought out causing app makers to have to roll their own solutions.

Google has no motivation to make sure that the ecosystem is good as long as they can sell ads and collect user data.
Within the first 5-15 years of LL’s existence though, I would have been dramatically shocked if it engaged in projects that created offensive capabilities.

you will note that I did not say it was dead, I explained the urge on other people's part to label it as such. I do believe it is dying in the same way someone with a degenerative disease is, slowly over years, with a few major hits to come that will make everyone say 'now it's really happening. It's also sad because this disease is one that could be halted, even turned around, if it was to the interest of anyone with the power to do so.

How do you compel physicians to treat someone who comes to them asking for services?

If a physician refuses to perform a knee replacement, for instance, because a patient does not want to pay for it, does the government step in and force the physician to do it?

In the United States, physicians have autonomy to decide how they practice. Do physicians in Europe have autonomy?
When you're working remotely, you have to actively, consciously make an effort to bond, connect with your colleagues. Think regular hangouts where you just have casual chats, casual 1:1 conversations and -if possible- semi-regular meetups in real life where the point is not to work.

That'll feel very unnatural at first, but over time just become part of working remotely.
One Hell Analytics App
Is there an app/portal which allows a user to navigate across different apps across App stores by concept/functionality like Reading app, Travel app etc. Once I select a reading app say Book reading it then shows me all the top performing app (across app stores, countries, language etc).

I should be able to compare their functionality, How their concept differ from each other?, What is their market share?, Which markets/countries they serve?, What is their core revenue model etc?

OR this is too much to ask?
Guessing, but maybe an original novel published freely on the web? That’s what the name appears to imply.
What about that context contradicts torstenvl's interpretation?

It seems to me that saying that Washington Post fact-checkers are "more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right" is one step away from saying they are morally wrong, an example of the "post-fact" attitude that holding the right position is more important than reality.

I suppose it was inevitable that when fact-checkers became inconvenient for politicians, politicians would attack them. How long until the same thing happens in academia and STEM is attacked for caring more about facts than being "morally right" according to someone's personal definition of morality?

People who still care about facts need to stand up to those who don't, lest facts cease to matter entirely.

Edit:

In response to the claim that the WaPo is being "pedantic" and "petty", I should include their response:

> The first problem here is that Ocasio-Cortez is really minimizing her falsehoods. Four Pinocchios is not a claim that Glenn Kessler and The Post’s Fact Checker team give out for bungling the “semantics” of something. It’s when something is a blatant falsehood. It’s the worst rating you can get for a singular claim.

...

> What might be most problematic about Ocasio-Cortez’s defense, though, is the idea that people should care less about specific facts and more about being “morally right" — as if this is a zero-sum game in which the two can be weighed against one another. She’s practically saying, “Well, maybe I was wrong, but at least my cause is just.”

I actually really like the battery optimization feature. I've only needed to turn off battery optimization for one app: Slack, because I need alerts for it at all hours. Every other app manages to get it's alerts through without it and the battery on my OnePlus 6 lasts forever. Sorry app developers but if I have to trade performance for battery in background apps, I'm going to choose battery almost every time.
It's marginally better than getting surprised by questionable bills afterwards.
It also for me explains a lot about about the problems I've had with Fitbit notifications. They use an always running background task, and have a long list of troubleshooting steps to disable/re-enable the service repeatedly and after every Fitbit app update.

Makese sense no since I have a Oneplus.
> I think you misunderstood the core issue here - it's not that the USER can decide what runs. It's that the USER cannot override those settings and decide that something can run and function if required. There are special whitelists for apps that are allowed exceptions (e.g. Facebook and other common apps are usually allowed to work) and others are killed against the Android API guarantees (e.g. you install Signal messaging app and you don't receive messages because Huawei didn't whitelist the app).

I blame it on stock Android. Phone manufacturers probably don't want to spend money on OS changes but Android doesn't do the right thing by default so they have to make changes.

The right thing to do is to deny apps launching at startup, apps running in background, and apps getting network access. Let the user say yes or no. Your use case for signal is different from mine. Maybe I just want to see messages when I open the app?

But yeah I agree, the user should be in control.
That’s exactly how it works - but this service itself is throttled.

And, in Android 9, “App Buckets” will increase/decrease throttling depending on your usage of the app.

For example, an app that you don’t open regularly, but do want receive timely notifications from (like a banking app, or calendar/scheduling app), might only get 1 window a day where it receives notifications.

Engineer's analysis for an engineer's perspective:

- Point 8: this is not sufficient by itself; having a Declaration on Consciousness is not enough without papers and documentation.

- Point 2: correlation doesn't mean cause; vegans tend to have a better food education, but this doesn't prove that veganism == healty.

- Point 3: not sufficient, it doesn't show how human body absorbs and uses those nutrients.

Beyond this, you're missing much more infos, such as documentation about vegan food (lack of?) impact (soy and avocados, for example) and going on.

See you next time.

Would it be possible to detect that the app was killed while engaged in such a situration as yours, i.e. similar how to systemd detects killed apps with a keepalive ping written to the fs while engaged.

Then on the next boot explain that you detected this, and guide the user to OP's page? Or is it way more complicated than so?
>it genuinely becomes a case of "you fucked up at this point in your career and that person didn't"

Of you know, the peers are tens of thousands (including people out of good schools and such), but the positions are like a few hundred or thousand, so statistically you're far less likely to be in that position than to not be.

The key is that even if nobody had "screwed up", there would still be fewer CTO/CEOs that people qualified similarly for that job.
Once again, I'm completely surprised how behind is western dark market world compared to Russia in that regard. Tor-based marketplaces with dead drops in parks and around the city have been around since 2013 and are now the only practical way to buy any drugs. Telegram channels have been widely used since at least 2015. Any city park has police squads patrolling the exits at night - they search people, open up your phone and look up Telegram and Tor apps if they suspect you've gone there to get a drop. Drops (they're actually called "buried treasure", or "klad" here) moved from parks to the city - you get instructions, for example, to go to some floor of a random apartment building, stop the elevator and search for a magnet-attached package behind it's doors.

I don't think that this article doesn't do a good job on the risk model because it doesn't understand how law enforcement operates - at least in Russia, the picture is completely different. Law enforcement has KPIs to catch some amount of drug dealers and users, and they have developed ways to do this reliably. So, instead of intercepting communication between the drug sellers and drug buyers, they prefer to work together with sellers (taking considerate money for 'protection') and arrest some proportion of buyers when they go for the drop.
There are many, many hackers gainfully employed in the deepest, darkest recesses of every government. I think directly saying that it is incompatible with fascism is a bit of a stretch, although I do agree that it is a nice thought.

No, I'm asking about how you go about forcing physicians to provide services against the physician's wishes.

Maybe frame it in a different field: if programming services was declared a human right, how would you go about ensuring that every programmer provides services to everyone who asks for services regardless of payment? How do you ensure quality as well?
Sounds a lot like the market for many genres on Amazon.

I will say you’re not wrong about the value of editors in traditional publishing. As far as I know, there isn’t really much of an answer to that in the “new media” world - even if you want to pay someone directly for the work, editors open to such engagements seem hard to find.
Seem to remember insurance sets pricing somehow not the doc/hospital? One of the reasons they don't have an answer to that question is it depends on what your insurance carrier negotiated with the care network the doctor is probably loosely affiliated with because it was required by whoever now controls the administration in the builsing they currently work...except more complicated and less direct with lots more opportunities for people to pad the price another few % for each layer of abstraction because abstraction is always free.
It's probably (hopefully) wasteful in the same way that having multiple browsers, multiple web frameworks, even multiple programming languages is wasteful.

Sure, there is duplication of work, redundancy etc. But what you end up with is a much wider surface area to try different things, better things, copy ideas and combine good ideas in different ways.

On the contrary, if every country just pools ideas and selects the 'best' via a giant committee selection process, would you really expect that to produce a better result over the longer term? (Genuine question and I'm open to the answer being yes but I personally suspect not).

Actually, I think it depends on the use-case. I mean, there are some use-cases which are inherently battery intensive. Like accurate position tracking or receiving real-time messages.

I think the problem is, that many users do not know which apps require more energy due to the specific problem they solve and which apps are just badly engineered. So to let the user decide every case is a bad option (+ decision fatigue). Letting the developers decide is even worse, as they would simply say, that their app requires as much energy as they need. So the vendor thinks he has to make that decision (as they don't want their phone to being perceived as having a bad battery life), who neither knows anything about the specific app nor about the use-case (probably the worst option).

I think the system should simply report battery offenders (above the threshold of a well-engineered instant messaging app for example) to the user in a manner of 'App X used Y% of your battery in the last 24 hours. By limiting the battery usage, the app might not function as it is supposed to be. Do you want to limit the battery usage of this app?'

That way, most developers would have a chance to build good apps which do not get reported and users would stay in control.
Don't most podcast players use RSS? Isn't this the age of the podcast? :-)
And... well, it rarely allows apps that duplicate built-in functionality on the App Store.

This is such an old meme and there are plenty of existence proofs that it isn’t true. There are third party apps for every single app on iOS including navigation, podcasts, mail, music players, calendars, password managers (with integration APIs specifically for them as of iOS 12), weather, notes, etc.
