Not sure what the "devil's triangle" means.

The Kavanaugh case is interesting. It makes clear that some people want a new process for determining guilt, but nobody seems to make clear what that process should be.

A process is important because, in the face of uncertainty, we need an a priori agreement on how to settle it. After churning through the process we are supposed to unite around the result of it even of it's not what we hoped, and basically record it as a fact in the public record.

Leaving festering challenges to every fact just keeps us divided, eventually to the point everyone is working with their own set of facts.

It's also interesting because there is such a process. I don't see any reason the Maryland DA can't refer the matter to a grand jury. The grand jury would either indict or not, and then I believe we could unite around that result.
I mean, distinguishing an attenuation related to receiving a signal from an attenuation from literally anything else seems a bit difficult, though I would imagine much simpler with radar.

I dunno. I think you’re making a big deal out of nothing.

This kind of stuff has always been around, even pre-internet. Granted, high school kids in the 90’s enjoyed a bit more shelter, but it was also the heyday of hardcore punk and death metal, and I had tons of friends who reveled in repugnant underground media, especially the rarities that only boutique city shops could supply.
Seeing how many people struggle to pay for every day things and live paycheck to paycheck, I doubt the majority will ever pay for news. News is interesting, but not enough to pay for it. Most of the time the cover is skewed one way or another - too negative, biased. Personally, I can live my whole life not knowing what happens outside my personal circles, who blew up what and what apple did today to google.
> agree to not use it externally (which is what both Facebook and Google failed to do)

It's important to note that the certificates that Facebook and Google had revoked were not developer certificates, they were enterprise certificates, which are have significantly fewer restrictions when distributing outside of the App Store and hence have more rules attached to their use.
WARNING: It's a regular Guardian column, Digested read - "John Crace’s incisive pastiches of the most popular writers, from Bridget Jones to Julian Barnes"

Having read a couple of NNT's books (they're good stuff) I thought it was pretty funny. Kind of. Liven up a morning train trip for a couple of minutes. But not HN-worthy.
If some pernicious pedophile develops a cure for cancer, it would be morally wrong not to use it. However, if that particular pedophile should profit from it is an entirely separate question. Patents and copyrights are a government given right and they can be removed. Actions have consequences.
The unfortunate reality is thus:

The internet has created a zero-cost distribution platform, and "news" platforms which exploit irrational emotional responses in order to further an agenda will always exist.

If quality news is gated by a paywall, there exists a cutoff with respect to salary beneath which quality news is inaccessible. Even if some could afford it and choose not to, there still exists an informational membrane between two classes of people. This system inherently couples poverty with less education. That is unacceptable! The playing field must be even for all, and the same knowledge should be accessible by all citizens who wish to participate politically.

There exists a concept in Game Theory called Perfect Information [0]. To quote Wikipedia, a sequential game has perfect information if each player, when making any decision, is perfectly informed of all the events that have previously occurred.

If we don't maintain a system which facilitates perfect information, then most people beneath this socioeconomic membrane will follow the path of least resistance and end up subscribing to free platforms which exist to exploit them. Remember, if the product is free...

And if we allow this to happen, then we create ideological chasms between socioeconomic classes, which leads to distrust and prevents cohesive inter-class political activity. This hurts the lower class the most, as they must rely on human resources more than financial resources in order to exact meaningful change within their lifetimes.

It may be that the only solution is a network of journalist cells and news organizations which are paid for by public donations, university funding, tax money, fundraising, and any and all ethical means of revenue collection which still allow the product itself to be free.

As most browsers of Hacker News are surely Open Source enthusiasts, it would be very beneficial to take the time to gain a deeper understanding of why you appreciate Open Source software, the benefits it has both to empower the individual and society as a whole, and what mechanisms must exist to ensure such a system continues to exist.

If you can identify these root concepts, you can then generalize them and try applying them to your understanding of the news distribution model and the future of journalism, and perhaps you might uncover new insights.

Yep, once you start leanin' in you just can't stop.

In all seriousness, I do wonder how these billionaires can resist just riding off into the sunset. Have some damn dignity.
Here's what I wanna know: to what extent does Google actually "have a phone"?

I mean, when I think about Apple, I think of a company that designs the look, the internals, the case, the glass, the board layout, and even some of the chips. (Sure, they contract the manufacture out, but Apple is deeply involved with designing components on a low level -- not merely farming it all out to some device maker in Taiwan or China.)

But for Nexus/Pixel: how much is Google and how much is LG or Samsung or HTC (yes, I know they bought HTC). I mean, how deep do Google personnel in Mountain View really go? How much do they just hand off to outsiders? Is it comparable to what Apple does? Maybe so. I just can't quite see into it.
It seems to be that if you lean Republican, governments are corrupt and private firms virtuous because freedom and the magic of the Invisible Hand of free markets make private firms virtuous (individual choice) and governments corrupt (coercive force).

If you lean Democrat, then governments are virtuous and private firms corrupt because the free market doesn't solve all the problems, and for those you need regulation (government: coercive force). In fact, the regulated free market leads huge wealth disparities, which leads to social problems, and since private firms that are seeking to maximize their wealth disparity, obviously they must be corrupt.

Naturally, neither of these pictures is right, or rather, they are both partly right.
You absolutely are memory holing them. If you decide I'm not not allowed to see older Cosby episodes on your platform, new people can't watch it and it's little by little erased from cultural memory.

As dddddaviddddd said, it's a price tracker for Amazon. To go into a little more detail: you can enter a product name or Amazon URL and it'll show you first and third party pricing history. You can also set a price threshold on a particular product and it'll either tweet or email you when the product price drops below that point. You can even do it without signing up or logging in.

I've set notifications on a couple items that I regularly order and when they drop below a certain price I order enough in advance.
I consistently have a problem running Mate Desktop where I have to disable CSD in apps that try to use it by default - off the top of my head, Chrome, Chromium, Firefox and VSCode all have CSD functionality but are unusable in Mate Desktop unless CSD is disabled.

"As v4 depends on docker, it is affected by Docker’s limitation of 31 network per machine.

v4 creates one network per site. Then v4 also needs few Docker networks for global services. So roughly we limit the number of sites to 27."

I'm also wondering what all those docker instances do to performance, seems to me there might be a better way.
My interpretation is that this should be fine; just as I'm pretty sure it's OK to design MDM software for your employees that all but spies on them.

Your complaint is that in order to understand how to do something, you need to learn that thing first? As an experienced React dev, of course you know "intuitively" how to do things in React. As a Vue dev, your examples do not make sense to me.

FWIW I have found the Vue documentation excellent, and there are plenty of resources online to learn as well.

Both React and Vue are great solutions, the approach is just a bit different. This high and mighty attitude of "my thing is great, the other thing sucks" is a detriment to everyone.
And what makes you so sure that the BBC's handling of those stories isn't the correct one?

Your personal bias, of course.

We see in this thread many people who condemn newspapers because they report differently than they themselves would, and then have the gall to call that "bias".
I am surprised that you are being downvoted. What you wrote makes a lot of sense.
People in US know so little about other countries history... Women were treated equal to men long time ago in the USSR, for example (about 100 years ago).
> We're also not actually memory holing these people, their work still exists it's still part of the canon of culture

So Kevin Spacey's performance in All the Money in the World is still part of the canon eh? And Louis's voice acting in Gravity Falls? No, because those performances were literally given the ol' Jones/Aaronson/Rutherford, at considerable expense.

> Ultimately what's happening is just a decision that...

I love the passiveness of this sentence. A decision is happening. Who decides? Do our gatekeepers decide for us? Or does each of us have a brain?

> ...the good parts of a persons outputs don't outweigh the bad parts any more.

Outweighing is irrelevant to the question of whether to enjoy the good. Cake doesn't outweigh death. But if you offer me cake, and we're both crystal clear on the fact that death sucks, I'll eat the cake.
It's a walled garden because the default way to install apps is from the repository, a trusted source that isn't filled with spyware. The gate is that I can download and run software without it. It's the best of both worlds and has been before app stores existed. An unlocked house in the countryside would be running software without my intent, the only place that happens is inside the browser.

You trust the app store just as I trust the repositories, I just have other choices available as well.

> Have you built something from source by downloading a tarball and running `make install`? Did you look at the Makefile before you did so?

Again, it's all about trust.

Under this model companies like google can even build their own extensions to the garden.
I would guess the failures were errors on rebuild.

This article summarizes this kind of scenario fairly well:

Generally if someone earned less than $600 as an independent contractor, the payer does not have to send the contractor a 1099-MISC. Given that Facebook pays $20 per month, it's well below the limit for issuing 1099s.
Yup. I side loaded an app yesterday onto my phone running iOS 8.4.1.
There are journalists that do that, e.g. Tim Pool. I watched a series he did on the so-call "no go zones" in Sweden which is worth watching. You can see he tries hard to push through the competing narratives and get to just the facts.

If you play on Apple's territory then you must follow Apple's rules. Seems pretty clear cut.
This, a million times.

In my professional bubble Lombok is completely gone. I'll go as far and say that modern Java does not use Lombok. Smaller, focused libraries like Immutables or AutoValue, solve the problem of boilerplate for data classes.

Lombok tries to do too much across many concerns, in a fairly opaque way, and makes the code and tooling around it more magic than it needs to be.

Skip Lombok. Modern Java is better off without it...

Naked Gun is funnier thanks to the unnerving experience of seeing OJ in it, but Cosby as "America's Dad" is creepy AF.

What's particularly off-base about this analysis is that Cosby was always creepy. She raises this idea like it's an absurdity, but anyone who saw "Spanish Fly" should have understood Cosby was a creep pure and simple. This is kind of typical of the essay - it sprays around highly contentious snap judgements like the NYRB essay by Ghomeshi being "Weak-but-still-interesting", and Farrow's allegations being "dodgy" at a disturbing rate.

Buried in there there's a decent point (or two) struggling to get out. But there's a (possibly disingenuous) blurring of people ranging from Barr though Keillor through Louis CK through Cosby (i.e. obnoxious all the way up to criminally convicted) and a blurring of consequences (are we talking about 'ostracism' or 'erasure' or 'market based companies not wanting anything to do with you any more because you suck?).

Private companies failing to continue to propagate Cosby's work is in no way analogous to being 'disappeared' by the Soviet Union. I'm pretty sure it's still pretty easy to see most of the works by these people; they aren't getting systematically purged from the libraries.
He's not being extremely callous. He's just saying your opinion shouldn't be forced on him. The suffering of others doesn't need to be his problem. We can discourage that with prison and fines. No need to drag the consumer in on a forced march through some rabid vigilante social assassination.

No, that's not necessarily for loading an app on to your device. It's only necessary for broader distribution.
You have backups.

You don’t have to throw away the disk after you rip it. The disk itself is a great backup.

Personally, I prefer everything to be in my Plex server, but I’m in no rush and just rip as I go. I’ll probably never actually rip every one. By the sounds of it, I don’t even have anywhere close to the number of disks to rip as you, so I get it no being appealing.
Sure, and Facebook solely controls the messaging ability and photo storage for a significant percentage of their 2B+ users.
Weird that you continue to straw man my comment after I called you out on making up outright lies. First I'm met with sarcasm and assumptions, next I'm met with condescension and an attempt to straw man my anecdote as a thinly veiled crucifixion of Google.

Here is the comment I addressed with my anecdote:

> I'm still not convinced that "being tracked" in my day-to-day life is a negative thing. I still don't perceive that my privacy is lost when I use those services.

Perhaps context is necessary, or perhaps you should consider why you're so driven to make assumptions about my posts.

> If someone stole the key to my house, and went on to steal important things, is it the fault of the company that makes the locks? Did the lock company "enable" the stealing to happen?

This is a poor analogy. Before locks, people could still break into your house.

Before Google et al., you needed expend significant resources to track a person 24/7 to the nearest 3 meters. As I said in my previous post, fine-grained tracking is more accessible to the general public now than it's ever been before.

This was my point.
Well, from what I see in the pictures they are using consumer grade ssds to power up an enterprise like grade database. This is not bad luck, this is just bad by design.

The enterprise agreement itself does not require any showing of an employee-employer relationship as defined by the local jurisdiction.

But if you read the rest of the agreement, you will find more requirements about who these apps may be distributed to, and they make this case pretty much a slam dunk in Apple's favor. For example, Facebook cannot possibly agree that they would be liable for what users of these research apps do, nor can they claim the ability to retrieve these devices if the relationship ends.

So, no - simply issuing a tax form won't solve this for Facebook.

> Annotation-based programming might seem cool now, but wait a few years.

I even have this experience on my own projects and with much shorter span than a year.

When I go back to a code base I worked just 3-4 month ago -- I have very hard time following Dagger injections.
Braking one of the Dagger providers (I use dagger 2) creates 10s and 10s of compilation errors.

So I have been slowly removing dagger from my code bases.
As I just cannot follow it, I do not know it well enough either.

I stopped using Lombok for same reason, although I found Lombok is much more intuitive.

I thought about going to Kotlin, but it was just too much of cognitive overload (in this particular instance both for backend and android UI).

Instead, I am finding the use of rxjava and friends a lot more intuitive and helpful for the type of things I need help with (interconnecting components on different threads, with different lifecycle and data structure semantics, with lots of asynchronous behavior options).

And the same rx-<> library is available to many other languages, therefore, the skill I am building up is sort of 'cross-language'.

Apple has historically looked the other way at a lot of uses of enterprise certs outside the fuzzy definition of who exactly is in the enterprise. The difference with the Apple and Google cases is that they were using the enterprise cert to distribute apps that were specifically banned from the app store, and they were distributing it to people that clearly did not have any kind of close relationship with the company. In many of your examples, the apps are for gig workers that are arguably part of the "enterprise.", even if they're not technically employees. I think Facebook tried to argue that because they were paying people $20 a month to keep the app on their phone that they were their contractors, but that is a very thin argument.
Huffington Post occasionally has deep and (what looks like) well researched articles though.

It's a real mix and that's my problem. I want to pay for something that's good. I don't need all the bullshit filler, and in fact seeing the bullshit filler makes me not want to pay at all because it's an insult to my time.

> The whole point of enterprise certificates was to allow creation of internal apps that even Apple shouldn't know about.

I think most/all of the companies in the program would say it's about controlling the distribution of their apps, since putting them on the App Store would expose them to the public, and less about hiding from Apple...

I don't think it's about remind them who's boss. Apple will revoke the certs for as long as is necessary to protect their users, but I don't think they'll stay revoked for punitive purposes. I expect it'll be a period measured in double-digit hours, not weeks.
Private companies ending Cosby's prior art is giving in to the mob. Had there not been such vitriolic outcry, they'd have happily continued making their profits.

No, the erasure is not on them; it's entirely our fault.

The fact that you believe that its shameful for a particular business leader to espouse malpractices is a testament as to why PR agencies who manage perception of individuals as well as institutions charge such hefty money.
The requirement to issue 1099s kicks in at $600/year. The panelists were well below that and weren’t paid in cash. The not-paid-in-cash thing doesn’t matter for reporting requirements, but I would guess it probably gives an extra layer of legal protection if the panelists decided to claim they are in fact employees.
It's blurry but the fact that the payment is solely for them to install the app and give away their privacy is a pretty strong indication. That's quite different from a delivery service where the relationship is that they're delivering food, and the app is just one tool they use to do the job.
