> You mentioned a fact was a matter of people interpreting a narrative. "While you say the narrative is wrong, many feel the narrative was right." That is not how facts work

I'm speaking to how some watched videos and felt they agreed with WaPo on the matter. There is no 'fact' to this story beyond an interpretation of events. This isn't a situation of clear cut and dry (like the recent released footage of the Chicago officer). It's people reacting to a situation and how it's making them feel.

> We are debating whether children surrounded and intimidated an old man as reported by the Washington Post. We are doing so because WaPo was cited as an example of 'real news'.
> That did not happen. WaPo was wrong.

Your statements are perfectly proving my point. To people that scene and moment gave them a sense of intimidation. You cannot tell them their feelings and interpretation of the situation is wrong. If I walk up to you and stand in your face, and you tell me that it made you feel intimidated I don't have the right to go "Stop, you're wrong".

> You keep discussing unrelated issues without specifically answering whether you believe this happened or did not happen

Im trying to explain to you why that particular situation is not something you can clearly point to as fake news. I'm trying to paint a larger picture to the whole matter and why many took issue with it.

Since you're so hung up on the matter, yes to me I viewed the way those kids acted as intimidating and inappropriate. If I saw that many kids in a group, wearing those hats, and chanting the way they did I would not want to be near it.
Thanks, this one also supports the Esp32, which is great.

Because then no country trusts or will do deals with you again. Let's see Britain is struggling to get trading partners, so let's show ourselves unworthy to be trading partners. That doesn't help.

>The unacceptable business model for GDPR is providing a service that requires personal data in order to function. Google making search unavailable to those not providing PII would be in breach of the regulation.

Seems like we are on the same page? This in essence means you can't pay for a service with your data. The service always has to be provided whether you choose to let them use your data or not.

Ask HN: What features do you want for a forum?
I know few people that got jobs thanks to bootcamps.

How exactly dev skills would help you with starting a job? Do you want to code it yourself? Or do you want to know what if your devs go correct path?

You have to understand that development is a very wide term.

There is a frontend - UI + UX, both of them pretty complicated and it's only making designs a reality. Not really worth learning as a PM in my opinion. If you want to build a SaaS yourself, you would have to learn it, though. But as I said it's still a lot of work to learn it, just for programming UI+UX...

Then there is a backend. Lot's of different programming languages. Not only languages but also frameworks. This won't really help you with your current job.
But there is SQL and databases. In my opinion, this is worth something reading about and playing around. Why? Because sometimes very simple things are very complicated to implement due to database structure made by developers. Additionally, you can write your own SQL to query some data instead of asking devs to craft it for you.

I'd also look for books that are meant for PMs on this subject. I'm sure there are some, but I don't know them. I'd learn about general stuff. Why there is backend + frontend + devops. How do they connect with each other, etc? This would help you understand better dev teams dynamics. Also, it would allow you to avoid some traps when starting your own company. Like thinking about using SPA, when server side rendered is just enough.
I am happy with the Apple decision to force their EULAs for the reason more people can see now what is inside the EULAs.

Not all people change their device every 2 years, there should be no reason why you could not use (or give to someone else to continue using) a device(phone,tablet, TV, watch) until it just falls apart.
I used to think this, but now I just go ask for the sudafed. It's usually quicker to buy, since you end up checking it out at the pharmacy rather than at the regular checkout. As long as I can reliably buy it --- and I've never had a problem --- I'm not sure why I'd be up in arms about the fact that sudafed is approximately as hard to buy as a pack of cigarettes.
> You’ll get more ads that don’t relate to you

Great! That means they're less likely to influence me.
I don’t know.. Maybe Canada requires these networks to serve even the rural parts of the country? That would seem to be expensive. Or they charged extremely high license fees. Those work like a tax, making the specific service more expensive, but allowing for government services or lowering your other taxes.

In any case, it seems like you are maybe focusing too much on conspiratorial explanations like corruption and sourveillance. I know it’s easy and somewhat satisfying to immediately assume bad faith, but if you always assume the worst, that is what you will end up with. Because if honest politicians trying to balance the complex and competing interests of a modern society somewhat fairly, and then get spit in the face whenever they meet someone in the streets, soon you will have driven out the honest ones, or their will to remain honest. Because why bother, when the reaction is completely disconnected from your accruing, anyway?

> They should ask themselves why the women want to run away

I'm sure they do and the answer is certainly always something that can be blamed on the woman.
$20 million is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Even for small organizations like buzzfeed, vice, huffpo.

They were all "darlings" of a free and open internet and social media. They either started in the mid 2000s or had their growth in that era ( vice started in the 90s but their major growth occurred in the mid 2000s ). Without an open and free internet and social media, they would never have been created let alone thrived.

Unfortunately for them, big media companies ( nytimes, cnn, wapo, etc ) that they compete against have won preferential status within social media and the wider internet. So they are now struggling to grow and even stay afloat.

They only have themselves to blame so I have no sympathy for them. They are the ones who demanded that "authoritative sources" get preferential treatment on google news, google search, youtube, facebook, etc.

If search results or the news feed aren't based on merit but human moderated "authoritative sources", then there is no room for buzzfeed, vice, huffpo. Whereas the nytimes, cnn, wapo, etc have structural advantages, name recognition and other broadcast avenues, these small companies are entirely internet/social media driven.

You would have thought that they would have protected their turf rather than cheerleading nytimes, cnn, wapo, etc taking over their turf. But oddly enough, buzzfeed, vice, huffo, etc have been the greatest champions of a closed and moderated internet.

Whereas I used to see buzzfeed, vice, huffpo articles/videos on youtube and google search on a regular basis. Now I hardly ever seen them. Instead, I see a lot of cnn, wapo, nytimes, etc results and recommends. I've never used facebook, but I'm guessing the same thing has happened there, just as happened with google news years back.

Also, these layoffs are just a tip of the iceberg. They are laying off during a major economic growth, low unemployment and tons of easy cash floating around. Imagine the pain they are going to feel when the recession comes and money gets tight. But as I said, they only have themselves to blame. And it's only going to get worse as tech companies ( at their request ) only allow "authoritative sources".
That's nuts! As barebones as Siri is, I guess this is one of the things Apple got right with their software integration.
Just adblock+ .. Goes straight to forcing me to pay. Maybe because corp nets?
The UK has the theoretical capacity to renege on the Withdrawal Agreement after signing it and declare that Northern Ireland is leaving the Single Market permanently regardless of whether the EU and Ireland still have reasonable objections to the alternative border arrangements.

But intentionally breaching an international agreement probably isn't the best way of starting a brave new era of signing new international trade agreements, even before the likely resulting strife in NI is considered.
A cryptocurrency "backed" by anything other than cryptography is just a currency.
Because that's a contrived interpretation, especially when the data wouldn't even exist unless the monitoring software was there to create it.

The panelists are selling their effort in installing/maintaining the software, and renting out their devices' processor-time/memory/bandwidth to run the monitoring app, and being compensated for any risks/delays such monitoring introduces. In some cases, they're also spending time answering questionnaires! That is, being paid to provide a service – where the delivery of the end-product of that service happens to be data.

But even if they were selling rights to data that they normally generate in private, they're still doing it under the terms of a contract, in return for payment, which makes them a contractor for the duration of the time they're delivering the data.

For comparison, consider a services company which installs phone-trackers & cameras in a retail location, then provides the resulting data about customer paths/visits to the retailer. That company isn't primarily "selling rights to data". They're selling a service, requiring their equipment and time, where that data is created and delivered. And they're doing it under a contract, and they too are a contractor, not a mere "data vendor". And it's the same with natural persons who enter a legal agreement with FB/Google to run FB/Google's software on their own devices, occasionally answer questions & update that software, obey the other terms of the legal agreement, and report back the resulting data to the corporate contractee.
Created a fake account and Facebook still figured out who I am. How?
Have you tried iSH?
Another decimation.
All 4 of those outlets that were mentioned to investigative journalism. TechCrunch (owned by the same company as HuffPo) was prominently on HN's homepage this past couple of days because of this investigation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19031055
What has happened to the concept of "User Defined CSS"? Is it totally gone? Did Chrome kill it?

Browsers should be making this a prominent and first-class feature.

You used to be able to buy ephedrine at truck stops. It was widely abused as a stimulant.
I don't work outside any more. But it would be more things like entire weeks of rain or sun forecast and instead would be the opposite all week. I could be sitting in the sun listening to someone on the local radio station using data from the local weather stations telling me it's raining. Or ya know, see it's raining in the forecast and open my door to a blizzard.
You allude to a different standard, what should the standard be?
For sure. These days it seems like Canada and mainland Europe are the last bastions of civilization.

I'm just old enough to remember the IRA blowing thing up in the late 80's and nineties on the mainland.

I don't think any sane person wants to go back to mortar attacks on Westminster.

It seems strange how we dealt with the ever present threat of the IRA differently to the threat of Islamist terrorism.

Yet in terms of casualties the IRA killed more people more regularly.
So, you're suggesting that if the EU responded with trade sanctions that we'd ... what, threaten them with nukes?

You don't think there might be a point in the future where we want to trade with any of the other 26 countries of the EU ever again?

You want to declare war on them to support our project of making UK an economic backwater ... I thought I'd heard it all ... wow.

What's your position on importing food? Given we don't produce enough to feed us and if we revert land to food use we'll have to sacrifice higher profit uses (e.g. we export seed potatoes, but import potatoes, because that's financial beneficial). Do you think other countries have excess to sell us just sitting around in warehouses?

Maps is not free - as you mentioned, you pay with data.

However, there are FOSS and privacy respecting alternatives, most are based upon OpenStreetMap - wikipedia style map of the world. Some data is still lacking, but at least you yourself can fix it if you want to.

This isn't even an anecdote about someone being refused sudafed; it's a conjecture that there might be such an anecdote.
Due to how widespread assumptions about "system" form field colors are throught the web, the proper thing for browsers to do is probably to _not_ apply a dark theme to form fields, at least by default. Maybe instead allow a CSS opt-in to support dark themes.

This seems to be what Apple is doing with Safari, and I feel like it's what provides the best user experience out of the box. (Even for pages that don't make this styling mistake, a single dark input field on a full light page is not a satisfactory dark mode experience)
This aspect of Google (forcing you into full surveillance mode before they will enable services) is the reason my wife is looking at an iPhone for her next phone. To the extent that others follow that move will be interesting to watch.
Because we are inextricably wrapped up in the financial system? And getting rid of it would cause massive pain, real and metaphorical.

What replacement financial system do you envisage?
I cant think of a revolutionary financial system that I'm confident, could be better. And if its evolutionary, why would you chuck out what we've got?
What? It's about psuedoephedrine which is available without a prescription; but is subject to mandatory tracking. Not too many years ago, it was available off the shelf.
Pseudoephedrine does have a stimulant effect. I find that if I've got bad congestion, the stimulant disturbs sleep less than the congestion would, but I'll still reach for something like afrin (Oxymetazoline) at night in spite of its "bounce back" effect.
This is also why countries like Japan and Canada are expressing they'll carry over deals with no changes, and British politicians are really disingenous to say that'd work fine. If the rule is say 60% has to be from the EU to be eligible, and it's 40% UK and 60% EU, then keeping that rule will make it ineligible in a UK bilateral deal. So things could become a lot more one sided with no changes to the actual deal.
I'd like to know that too.

For me, I just use the free version of Trello to keep track of development. I'm used to scrum so I start every day with a 1 man 'meeting' where I look over what ive done and what needs to be done. That's been working for me so far but I have only one project going. This would be a good ask HN post.
When you feel like it's about to growl, just push out your stomach (like you're trying to look fat) really hard, it's not noticeable and cancels or lessens the sound of the growl. Learned that in high school.
from many stories it sounds like fathers, brothers, etc. not just submit to the will and traditions of the society - it seems that they really feel about their female relatives as something like a property and are really cruel toward them. I kind of wonder how a natural biological strong feeling of kinship toward your family members is getting that override to such an extent here.
A few trivia items from the BBC QI elves:

"Jupiter’s magnetic field has two south poles."

"Roughly every 11 years, the magnetic field of the sun reverses, north becomes south, and south becomes north. The same thing happens on Earth, but only about once every 300,000 years."

"The magnetic North Pole is moving about 55km per year at the moment. Last year it wandered over the international dateline and ended up in the Eastern hemisphere."

Going to the counter and asking for a pack of sudafed and showing ID is an uncomfortable interaction? Do you never buy liquor?
For most of these, changing syslinux.cfg in the install media lets you add the console=ttyS0 option to the kernel command line and whatever option triggers the text installer for the distro. So it isn't too hard to do, albeit annoyingly non default.
I like that all your comments on this thread are a variation of: "…Yes, but Japan is better!"

Writers have pretty well 0 (and that's a big zero) control over what sales and advertising practices are used by the company they are writing for either as staff or freelance. But they can write what they want as long as its approved by editorial.

Likewise, the sales teams have pretty well 0 (and that's a big zero) control over published editorial content. But they have a lot of pull in implementing any and all kinds of analytics, a/b testing, and so on.

This doesn't surprise me at all. But it is funny.
I wasn't making any general claims about Russian and American strategic plans, or the overall quality of rkagerer's comment. I was only rebutting your suggestion that rkagerer had ignored the issue of heads up-time. You can certainly argue whether he addressed it well, but you have to actually engage with his argument (which I encourage you do to as a reply to his comment, not mine), not just repeat the facts all three of us are familiar with.
You only need a keyboard and mouse unless you modify the boot media to use the serial console for the installer, which several of those links detail. To say that Linux doesn't support it is incredibly ignorant of the author.

Food. The EU is an agricultural juggernaut, and Japan has very dense megacities with mountain ranges in between. Not the best situation for self-sufficiency.

Fortunately, they make highly sought-after electronic products and cars, which can be exchanged for food.
That the narrow result of a single vote is seen as sufficient justification to wildly swing a government's policy in a new direction with huge effects over decades is... baffling to me. Watching it happen is like seeing something announced by someone pretending to be a US President in a Saturday Night Live sketch and then, the next day, everyone treating it like a real thing that had happened and the whole state's policy shifting to reflect those statements, and no-one acting like that's extremely weird and insane.

I can't remember where I read this, but my understanding was that phenylephrine was effective in nasal sprays, but is broken down in the stomach and isn't effective orally.

It's worth remembering that lots of medications may not be much better than placebo; for instance, guaifenesin is apparently not effective, despite forming the basis for popular expectorants.
