Clearly people want Google, Facebook and Amazon despite the potential for harm. But Apple champions your privacy, and these companies do not. Hence, the ethical conundrum.

We should remember this, the next time Cook or anyone from Apple makes public statements about privacy. I would very much like to hear a journalist ask these tough questions (my apologies of someone already has).

Apple is essentially handing these customers to Google and they know it - otherwise they wouldn't be able to ask for so much money in return.
I felt like this.

Having kids changed this a lot for me, but I don't of course recommend having kids because 'you are bored'. An alternative would be to go live and work in a different country, especially that isn't too touristy or western. I guess anything that completely uproots your life and takes you out of your comfort zone will do it.

Another thing I do is some side hussle but with more of a structured plan than I have before. This supplies hope that one day I can make an income without needing a job.
I want everyone's cars to follow the same rules, I don't want individual people modding their cars to obey only the laws they like or to behave differently than everyone else's cars.
Economic stress of living on small
paycheck to small paycheck is poverty.

No it's not.

There is a gigantic qualitative difference between living in a western country "paycheck to paycheck" enough money to afford driving a car, (not to mention all the other benefits that come with living in a first-world country, top health care, pension, unemployment insurance, working primary schools, working secondary schools, low corruption etc etc) in comparison with the crushing poverty one finds in poor countries, no streets, no schools, civil war, high corruption, no running water, no electricity etc.

What cognitive benefit do gain from conflating two entirely distinct phenomena? It's like calling both, a heart attack and flu, a heart attack, because both are unpleasant.

Once more, I invite you to spend some time in very poor countries.

For me the very first news story on google was about her smoking pot and listening to Tupac (as if I care) via fox news.. so it's not so clear to me.
For a time, science had a very strong finalistic narrative too - that science itself would remove all misery from the world. The strength of this narrative is much diminished today, even if it's not dead - it's often visible on HN, especially when commenting on themes like climate change.

Personally, I envy those who still believe in that vision.
We know that entering a new room in your house impacts your thinking -- like a new "window" of thought opens. There is, in fact, a concrete reason why you will forget what you were looking for as soon as you enter the room you intended to search for said object.

It's interesting, as mentioned, how you can recall other things that happened in temporal or spatial proximity to another memory you're recalling.

My mother has an uncanny ability to unwind a series of connected memories -- "I know that was in 1973 because that's when so-and-so got married, and we had traveled to such-and-such location that year, which is why I had the new suitcase that..."

Fascinating research.

Medium matters. For in-depth, “digital” reading the only thing I have which works for me is my Kindle.

Absolutely. Housing can be an ok investment compared to renting without becoming unaffordable. Buying vs. renting comes down to a trade-off of how long you will stay, how much work you are willing to put in, etc.

For you last point, the gig economy is partially filling that role for non-homeowners. You can drive around or deliver things almost as casually as doing home improvements. Not quite as easily, but the payoff more direct.
Updates are relevant, if we're talking about possibly changing the default search engine.

It's currently Google...and if they want to change it, they'd have to update these EOL devices. This could significantly increase the price per device

The 3 Phases of AI in the Enterprise: Emergence, Adoption and Dispersion
Can anybody explain practical differences between btrfs, zfs, and xfs? I've used reiser in the past, but I understand maintenance is low these days.

Curious to know pros and cons; considering which to use. This is for three purposes: one, personal computer. Disk partitioned among 3 os. Two, storage server. This involves a hodgepodge of old disks I want to pool and use as one virtual disk. I do have an ssd in the mix, which I wish to use as a caching drive (in case writes are too slow/reads too fast for the hdds). Raid is not a huge priority, but parity (raid5?) would be nice if possible across multiple disks with very different sizes. Three, application server. These store some data, but largely run from ram (alpine linux sys mode install). Reliability is good for these.

If anyone can advise what is best, that would be appreciated.

Right - so you get all the functionality of bootstrap using CSS grid; all the modals, spinners, buttons, and most importantly: browser bug fixes and quirks people contribute over time.

Bootstrap is a _framework_, not just a layout system.

Also, BS uses Flexbox at the moment, I doubt they'll go to grid any time soon.
I think you have to give them all of the login details for all of your services or at least it was unclear to me as a user that that wasn't happening.
It would be nice to have a library that had es6 data structures such as set, but supported object hash codes using a technique like this. That’s a weird thing missing in the js standard lib.
A lot of the restrictions on supply in the US medical system were actually put there as a way to keep down costs, especially by the Nixon administration. Ideally you would find some way to lower the price of a unit of medical care but that would tend to lower doctors' and nurses' wages and the public likes doctors more than politicians so that wouldn't have been the easy way.

If your only concern is lowering spending then restricting supply will in fact do that. Per unit cost will go up but the total amount that the public would be willing to pay for a low supply is lower than what the public would pay for a high supply. It's just that other politicians saw the problem with limited access and decided to solve it by subsidizing healthcare or in some cases just paying for it. Removing restrictions on supply would, again, have cut into doctors' and nurses' wages.

The US government requires hospitals to treat the indigent for free and to treat Medicare recipients at cost but that just means that the hospital has to make back its costs elsewhere if it wants to stay in business.

I'm honestly half convinced that the only way we'll ever fix our mess is nationalization. But because the government finds it so hard to cut wages and because it also finds it hard to appoint "death panels" to decide which treatments are cost effective I'm doubtful that even that will do much to hold down costs.
OK, but the term "good enough" exists for a reason. How many users did Apple lose by not using G Maps?

So, Apple would need a "good enough" search engine and they'd buy DDG over a cup of coffee. Invest in improving it. And, yes, they're for sale, just as Microsoft or Exxon is (for the right amount of money)
Well, sure. I live in Chicago which has winters as cold as those places. It's a relatively balmy 25 deg F in Helsinki right now. Not a big deal.

But the polar vortex we just went through was other-worldly cold. It was warmer on Mars much of the time that week. Stores and schools were shut down. The man in that video would have experienced frostbite if not death from exposure.
It's a good position, but it's far from a monopoly most people treat it as.
This must indeed be first comment ever using the terms „fractional reserve bank“, „printing money“, „fiat“, „gold“, and „debt“, but not „inflation“.

Which is really a shame because it’s the obvious result. And also a very good way to specifically separate people from their assets. And also pensions.
Did you have to fight for that time off? Or did you just ask? Did you get any grief in the office for taking so much time off?

I am interested because on the one hand there is policy, and on the other there is social reality. I imagine it takes some effort to make an unlimited vacation policy work in a team where some people might begrudge other people having time off.
Huh? You do realize that the layout utils are but a small part of what Bootstrap has to offer, right?
If anyone could point me to literature on k-nn neural networks (or the relationship, if any, between k-nn algorithms and basis function decomposition and/or blind source separation) I’d be much obliged.
Can someone explain why if you like jquery and you're used to it why is it a bad idea or it's not but just personal preference at this point?
Since this is an option that seems to get ignored in these discussions, if you are an end user and you want to use unsigned apps, jailbreaking your device allows you to do this.

After jailbreaking, you can use a third party App Store like Cydia to find and install unsigned apps.

https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydia

Doing this does not prevent you from using Apple's App Store or it's apps.
I'm not a big fan of bootstrap but it does a heck of a lot more than just grid layouts. You can't just easily replace the components (modals, accordions, buttons, etc) with CSS grid.

Gentrification is bad for local renters, but generally doesn't hurt the property owners, who have property that is appreciating in value. You can live there, or sell up and live a more luxurious lifestyle somewhere else. The increase in property tax won't come anywhere near cancelling out the increased equity - at worst, you could take out a line of credit on the property and pay the property taxes with that.
Pages like this one are why you should only load comments on request, not by default.
Unless you're keeping a written log of who is using what editor and comparing it to some kind of objective metric, this is almost definitely a case of confirmation bias. There's no way that literally every person using vim is having these kinds of problems.

Even if the correlation is real, there's just no way that difference between using vim and using something else is so great that it's causing people to exhaust themselves, so best case scenario there's some hidden variable causing it.

> It's one less network request, saves bandwidth

Given that most stuff these days is packed together with Webpack or at least concat'd together, you don't really save much, plus jQuery in gzip'd form is clocking in at <30 kB anyway (https://mathiasbynens.be/demo/jquery-size).

> and pretty much unmaintained code (at this point, the jQuery github is as good as dead, unlikely to see major releases any time soon)

So what? Software can very well be "done", there is no need to always evolve and evolve. As long as there is no security issue left unsolved, though.

In addition, if you're rebuilding half of it on your own anyway, chances are high you'll miss some weird corner case that jQuery solved years, or decades, ago.
Your comment made me check out DuckDuckGo for the first time in a long while.

To support your point, there's also a huge difference in the auto-fill suggestions, and I'd guess DuckDuckGo is more accurate to what users actually search.

How is it possible that this woman had an affair with the mayor of San Francisco, and the top auto-fill suggestions on Google are "parents," "sister," "mother," and "breakfast club," rather than "affair," "willie brown," and so forth (on DuckDuckGo)?
IIRC mysqldump had a similar issue back in the day before the --quoted-names option became enabled by default.
High traffic areas tend to move traffic much slower than lower density areas. Getting into a fatal traffic crash when going 15 miiles per hour in stop and go traffic is much harder than when you lose control of a car when going 50 on an empty street.
Really? There's a ton of boilerplate in Haskell that goes into working around the type system (to the point where people have made alternate Preludes to avoid having to explicitly specify the goop), and I can't count the number of times I've had to massage types in Scala for no other reason than to push a class into a certain cats monad. Lets not get started on error types in Rust. I'm a fan of static typing, but let's stop this incessant drumbeat of propaganda saying that typing is free, and the pain comes from no-true-scotsman implementations.

> The road engineers aren't there.

They were there when the road was designed and built, and they did various calculations based on actual physics, road width, medians, upcoming intersections, etc. to determine a limit. "Eh, this feels like a 75" from an untrained driver with three big accidents on their record shouldn't be of equal value.

edit: Here's the US DOT's flowchart for picking speed limits: https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/uslimits/documents/appendixk.pdf - they even have a handy web tool for putting in the variables. https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/uslimits/

> Also, the road engineers suffer no consequences if the limits are wrong.

Real engineers have liability and licensing implications for fucking up.

> If so, I think it's because individuals have no voice in determining the limits...

Nor should they, really, as they're supposed to be based on empirical data about the nature of the road. Your attitude reminds me of this New Yorker comic: https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a20630

> That's what warning signs are for. There's no need for it to be a speed limit; just a "caution, hairpin turn" sign is enough.

There are several tight turns near my house. One's a 25 mph one, another is a 15 mph one. Even as a local, I find the numbers a handy reminder; there's absolutely no way a non-local would be able to figure out which turn should be taken at which speed.

Why the attack on our cameraman was no surprise
It's myPhone Pocket, Android 6, 512MB ram, 4GB flash. I found it now cheapest for €42 [1], year ago I found it for €39. The only downside is that default apps cannot be uninstalled, that makes the phone almost unusable. It was never locked to any carrier. It's dual sim but I never had sim in it, I use it only as pocket-wifi-browser (102 grams!) and for app development.

I made 12 kids.

This gives purpose to my life. In some sense, having kids is pretty much the meaning of life. Live would be pretty pointless without the kids. People are meant to have kids, and you can conclude this from your choice of evolution or creation. There is an instinct to be satisfied.

I'm only sort of in the tech industry, so maybe that helps. Government contracting rules put a limit on some kinds of insanity. The stuff that goes on in the game industry would never fly. Actually, I have it better than that minimum. My normal work week is 40 hours, and I get paid if I work more. I get more vacation (due to seniority) and flex time, letting me spend more time with the kids.

So I spend the morning with kids, walk or drive to work depending on weather, do stuff to support my country, come home, skip the gym, spend more time with kids, and repeat for 40+ years until retirement.

There is never a perfect time to start having kids, so you won't have any if you wait for that. Just get on it. I got started before I graduated from college.
Not hugely surprising. As I recall it was originally a C++ system, Which vaguely made sense but was an arse to actually develop with. Then they totally scrapped it and moved to Java which is an insane decision for an embedded system.

I suppose the fundamental issue is that embedded systems are massively cost constrained, so they're always going to use custom hardware, and that hardware is going to vary a lot. Smart scales can get away with an M3 microcontroller, whereas a smart CCTV camera is going to need a proper SoC with lots of RAM, some kind of DSP etc. Good luck making an OS that works on both of those.
I think the split between "contributing" and "not contributing" is veiling a less glamorous, but possibly more pragmatic battle: new vs. old.

If they can ensure that more tickets are going to well-established camps that have been around for a long time, you'll be more likely to give tickets to people in the "right" social circles.

And that's probably an effective thing to do to maintain the social fabric. I don't think the community is getting angry about a camp's tent getting setup by 5 out of its 40 members; that's always been the norm.
Google is actually pretty well optimized for the simplest, most mindless searches. It sucks for anything complex, though - Bing/DDG is a lot better there.

On the 10-year?

We've definitely dipped on the 5-year and 7-year. But I'm not aware of any inversion on the 10-year (even an intra-day one). Or was it on the Global Bond market? (I think I recall one story about the global bond market becoming inverted...)

Hmmm... do you have a citation by any chance? I'm definitely interested if you can remember where you saw that data, for the full details of the situation.

So the people who stole the money from Mt. Gox are currently sitting in jail, right?

This also shows the doublethink you sometimes see with cryptocurrency: it's totally anonymous, and so you can use it for privacy, except for when it's not, so you can use the immutable record to figure out who harmed you.
What kinds of rewards would you like to see women get? I see some. For example, women constitute some 85% of consumer spending. So they're getting some kind of financial reward, presumably from men who appreciate all that house work they're doing.
"Facebook and Google seem very powerful, but they live about a week from total ruin all the time. ... The US government would fall to a general revolt in a matter of days. It wouldn’t take a total defection or a general revolt to change everything, because corporations and governments would rather bend to demands than die. These entities do everything they can get away with — but we’ve forgotten that we’re the ones that are letting them get away with things."

Amen, is all I have to say to that
> My next question is even if they do lose on search, with all their very successful "side" businesses, how much would it impact them at this point?

Are you talking about Apple or Google?

If Apple launches a search engine that fails it'll have huge brand image implications. Their brand is their most valuable asset.

If Google Search were to fail then Google would lose the majority of their revenue. Sure, they could continue, but they probably would not be considered part of the Big Four anymore.
It's just money...
Isn't such a problem at least as difficult a say, the halting problem? There's a lot of implicit contract involved in API's, particularly with languages that aren't theorem proving languages.
A couple of reasons:

1. Version control

2. Simple text files that are easy to maintain and convert into different formats

There are other reasons I can think of but those are the biggest two. Personally, I hate using word processors and would love to never have to use one again. Their GUIs and learning this and that shortcut key (which usually don't transfer to other apps) used to be tolerable but I can't stand them now.
Something that anyone who writes embedded code should be acutely aware of!

Do you start from scratch, or with your own boilerplate that you have developed over time as a designer?

Because then you'll most likely already have color palettes that work on a general level, and different component archetypes that are easily adjustable for any brand.

I mean, why not bake your taste and experience into your own design system that you then use for other project specific design systems as a starting point?
I don't need any magical features, I just looked for something like Markdown but with support for tables and LaTeX, so this format is perfect for me.
