MIUI OS seems to be liked by some, personally think it's terrible.

That said, they are one of the few phone companies left that allow consumers to unlock the bootloader, along with offering some stock android models with zero bloatware and monthly security updates.

Samsungs are worthless now if you can't install Lineage on them.
This is about my familiarity with them to be honest. Brands I am aware of but haven't given a dollar to. Yet, I end up using Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft services/products every day in one way or another. I don't agree with everything each of them does but I support them because I respect them.
The _software_ companies give [their _software_] away for free.

You can build a phone if you want, install Android on it, and sell it without paying Google anything. There's a ton of Chinese companies doing just that; Amazon does it too.
But it is. Dawkins' meme was an idea that spreads person to person. So are the modern internet-spread image macro memes. The catching on and spreading is what makes it a meme and not just an image.

The confusion is that the latter meaning of "meme" has started drifting from "an image macro that spreads" to "an image macro".
The drugs are protected by intellectual property laws, which are in my opinion hugely problematic for medications. I’d welcome genetics. That might finally force us to fund research collectively.
We haven't banned this account, but we've banned previous accounts that I believe you've used. If you keep breaking the site guidelines, we're going to have to ban you again. I'd much rather you'd take the spirit of this site to heart. We're trying for something, as you know, that's a little bit better than internet default. That means posting civilly and substantively, with respect for others no matter how wrong they may be.

When a comment is both low-information and personally negative, it becomes trollish almost regardless of topic. I think I read "So you can’t reason", etc., as personal, though looking at it now I see that you meant "you" in the sense of "one". Sorry! Nonetheless, you've posted such comments in the past, including recently (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19099603, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19110921), so the main request stands.
That is only true if management follows your recommendations. If they decide profit is more important than security, than your job is to mitigate as much risk as possible and detect breaches as quickly as possible. Which he did.
Indeed, I would have thought it entirely compromises the judicial process too.
if charts and even data is prohibited, then how do you make a business case for something ?
Apple is playing chess right now on the brand positioning game against Alphabet and Facebook. The most cynical people will dismiss it but most people will accept it as a gesture of goodwill.
The thing about governments is that they can manifest their power in the form of people with guns showing up in places and forcing people to comply with them.

If Amazon refuses to give back someone's data; if they are a government entity they show up to the Datacenter and put a gun to someones head. If they are a private entity, the sue Amazon, win, and then get a court order which they can have the police enforce.
The whole site reminds me of teenagers who are trying too hard to act rebellious. The problem is that it apparently has a large enough audience that some adults find that kind of behavior acceptable.
This is slightly meta, but I find it interesting that the person you're attacking is questioning the utility of a point-based system and yet that very system is trying to silence your speech rather than theirs. The mob wants you to know that refusing to question the mob is against the rules.
According to the article, that's because in both cases they asked him to help in the cover up, and he refused to bend his ethics like that.
Only in America can we have a military bigger than the next 10 countries combined, but universal healthcare is untenable financially.

If your demographics suck, use technology to increase healthcare productivity. If your practitioners are too expensive, train more so their wages are in line with other developed countries.

These are not unsolvable problems, and I do not trust anyone who says they cannot be solved.
This description sounds like a database for results of subpoenas. It is not a secret that the government can send a subpoena…

Unfortunately it is in Finnish. Kela is the organization that operates the Finnish welfare system. First title translated: "Initial results: well-being improved, no positive effect on employment on the first year" They haven't published the full report yet, should be out in the spring of 2019.
People who use their service and also block ads aren't their customers though. They have no incentive not to block them. Sure it'd be best to come up with an alternate revenue stream that's less annoying and equally or more profitable than ads but obviously no one has or they'd be using it successfully.
Uh, no.

The key word in the parent poster’s sentence was “can”. You only need one example to prove it - tons of failing examples do not disprove it.

For example:

If you lived next door to the head server guy at Wells Fargo, and the other night his wife called you to cancel their dinner with you because “there is some big problem at work that he’s dealing with and he has to work thru the night”, and then you decided to short WFC that next morning, then you would have done quite well, but importantly, the information edge would be not only small, but also non-specific.
every submission of yours is chinese shilling. and it’s facetious to compare them.
typically startups work on chunks of work/product/features that have a radically shorter half-life than something that an Amazon works on. Do you think that could be a reason ?

Is this a method that brings agility only to large orgs ? If you had to do a startup, would you use the narrative method to develop a new feature/UI,etc ? Maybe you make it two pages rather than six...but still.

My memory is the word being used quite often as any “contagious idea”. It started to became synonymous with “tired internet joke” in the late 90s with dancing baby, then cemented 2001 with the someone-set-us-up-the-bomb video.
What pisses me off is when people defend javascript with politics-heavy statements like inclusion, gender or whatever and then most of rational people just shut up. Backend tech or non-javascript tech is not gatekeepers. New comers just enter the wrong gate led by wrong people (you know I don't really mean people..)

About hiring, sure, I had to withdraw Elm implementation before I left a project. It's responsibility for what's good for them in hiring new folks. That's sad.

My probably-never-came-true dream was that just improve HTML honestly. 1) Make controls style-able 2) Make more controls

I hate to look like a jerk, but I say it again, big corps are significantly part of this problem. People just pick React and abandon everything.

I simply don't understand things to be crazy. Rent a place, have an address, file for residency permit, done.

If a landowner wants a residency permit, which I've never seen, then maybe that was an ouvert way of saying no?
Most of them are things we've always done, writ large.

Trees are my personal favourite. Shade, transpiration, Birdlife, net cooling in summer. And simply nice to be around.
This was in the early 1970s. It was more or less a prototype.
- Detaining any executives of the company found within borders or in regions where extradition is possible.

- Seizing all company assets, offices, source code, etc.

- Breaking the company up and promoting in-borders employees into management positions, etc.
I find the phrase "ontology reflects phylogeny" in the abstract to be a bit odd. The original formulation was “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” and Stephen Jay Gould has written a book on the history of the idea, so I'm not sure if the revision is intentional or due to sloppiness.
> Anyway is a localized feed, the more likes a post gets, the bigger the 'radius of discovery'. The kicker is that you can like things as many times as you want - now you can one-man-army your post into the spotlight.

This seems like bad mechanics design. Assuming the "radius = f(likes)" function isn't linear and asymptotes, everyone will just spam-like their post until it gets close to the asymptote. Then, the app essentially consists of posts that just have a constant radius (r ~ threshold radius), making dynamic radius a completely useless mechanic.
Unless you have written tutorials for folks who have never been there, you may not understand the level of effort required. It is seriously a challenge.

Not only does she accomplish this, the way she does it is particularly delightful.
Another reason not to ask the most experienced person you can find is that it's likely been a long time since they've approached their domain from anything near your perspective. They've deeply internalized complicated abstractions and terminology that you might not have even been exposed to yet. By asking someone with less experience they're more likely to understand what you're asking for and be able to explain it in a way you can follow.
But did Abraham Lincoln ever outright lie about it? Did he ever make a political speech where he categorically denied ordering the house arrest of a D.C. Circuit judge, or categorically deny that such a house arrest even occurred?

That's what's unprecedented. It's not abuse of power or corruption that's unprecedented. It's serial, bald faced lies to a willfully, spitefully credulous audience. Not even Nixon or his defenders were so unscrupulous, although it's fair to say that in Nixon lies some precedence.

I used to think it quaint that the dominant principle behind the 6th Amendment prohibition against compelling testimony against oneself remains the so-called cruel trilemma-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_officio_oat). But I realize now that, even without the metaphysical threat of damnation, a society must leave space for even the most corrupt and malicious individuals to avoid outright lying. Lies are the greatest poison to civil society by threatening the very notion of accountability and therefore of fairness or justice. Even when we know somebody is lying it's crucial that we grant them the fiction of plausible deniability, a quid pro quo for not violating the cardinal rule. In so far as the body politic permits and tolerates open lying, it destroys the last and perhaps only common bond between citizens--commitment to a shared truth, even if only nominally.

When a politician says that they can't remember, or even qualifies what would otherwise be a lie with "not to my recollection", that's actually a powerful gesture--submission to a critical civic virtue. When we get to a point when politicians, especially national leaders, don't bother with such gestures, and supporters don't even nominally demand them let alone exact some price, we're in a very bad place.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, there's solid evidence that Reagan openly lied when he denied any knowledge about Iran-Contra. But I think it's telling that we've convinced ourselves he was suffering from Alzheimers, forcing plausible deniability upon him. Even most Reagan detractors have reflexively internalized that narrative. (Obviously he was suffering from Alzheimers, but it's not very reasonable to believe that he was suffering to such an extent that he lacked the capacity for even complicity.)
This is not what a scam is.

An Antminer isn't a license to print money. It's a device for hashing blocks.

This is like calling Sony a scam because they sell video cameras to aspiring YouTube stars who never make money out of their aspirations.

It matters, because there are plenty of scams out there, where people exchange money in good faith and receive a substandard good, or nothing at all, in return.

If Bitmain does that, provide evidence. If it doesn't, stop making libelous statements about them.

You may not like their product. I would never buy it. But it isn't a scam.
Great read! Thanks for investigating this kind of thing, it's beyond useful.
I don't deny that 4chan is a cesspit, but like I said, you have to take the good with the bad. From my experience, as a person who is of a minority race, as long as you do not mention your race, literally no one cares. You're perfectly welcome to join in on the shitposting. Back then and still today, it has been race and sexuality related bigotries, but 4chan would be happy to insult you in any other fashion as well if given the opportunity. But since those words still have power given to them by those who choose to be offended by those words, they are still by far the best weapon of choice for 4chan users to rally behind. Do I endorse it? No, but I'm not against it either.

While I don't think 4chan is a model for a healthy internet community, I believe the internet is healthier if 4chan exists than if it did not. Some say it is the last bastion of free speech on the internet and I would agree. I can't name any other place I would go to see what I see on the chan.

Paper tape was even more of a pain than cards were. Or at least, in different ways. Cards jammed, it's true. But you could easily replace damaged cards. Repairing damaged tape was iffy. On the other hand, one might drop a stack of cards. So some of us would number the cards in pencil. Carefully, and lightly.
Honestly, if we're all going to die anyway, we might as well not get out of bed in the morning. All of these people around me lift the fork to their mouths every day, and not one of them has managed to live forever. Avoiding death is impossible, and yet these doctors want me to maintain a healthy diet, exercise, and visit them occasionally. It's a crazy world I tell you.

Love this page. After wanting to try something other than FreeRTOS, and having been frustrated with very public projects RIOT and Zephyr, I found TNEO from this page and have used it successfully in multiple gadgets. Still very happy with it.
I would imagine the best thing to do is to own a sizable exchange and save all of the order data (submitted orders, cancelled orders, fulfilled orders, etc.). Getting second-hand data sets with coarse-grained information (like price per second) is going to vastly limit how effective your bot can be (since, for example, price per unit time is not raw data).

My best experiences, as I think about it, tend to have these patterns:

- No Slack for non remote

Slack is cool, but I remember thinking that if I needed to talk to someone, it's over email or in-person. This really encouraged face to face or email conversation. There was also Skype for remote workers, but if you're not doing remote, you could kill Slack. Now that I think about it, Slack is more of a vitamin than a pain killer for non-remote organizations. Slack is great for remote though and love it.

- No Agile

Ah, I remember when I had my first job using Agile. It was cool the first few weeks and that was it. Again, it's not a pain killer, it's a vitamin. I had the best time ever just sitting in meetings on Tuesday mornings to demo everything in person then do code review with my CTO after. Talk with the whole team including marketing on what we'd work on. I loved it. No agile, was completely in the know and performing.

- Support with Tools

It sucks not having the right tools to do the job. Receiving the appropriate hardware, desk, and software has always been useful and makes me happy to come into the office. It really sucks when you wake up, look at your amazing at home desk, then go to a lousy work desk. Bling out the work desk. You can do anything from getting a top end work computer, a great monitor, an eGPU (may actually save a company money from AWS bills), a DAC/AMP (cause devs usually have a thing for headphones and the budget for great ones), or a desk goes up and down and has memory settings and it's fast.

- Minimum Friction

If you get told you need to change up your landing page, change up the tooling, or do a big refactor on something, always take it seriously. Some people marry a concept or an ideal and it can often cause friction between the team. Giving up the consistency and letting others use what best let's them get their job done should be given time and thought. All in all: be fluid with company practices and not letting a "mono-culture" take root is usually best.

My best experiences have been when a single employee can happily recommend a new way that could radically change the initial experience of a customer or a company culture. The fluidity maximized sales and development.

- Wrap up

We have so much now with tools that can be categorized as pain killer or vitamin. My best recommendation is to have less vitamins and more pain killers.

Note: This is just me though. I know a lot of other people have different ways they prefer to work. This is just me.
> My understanding is is that Poole really likes Japan

I think that is true. I heard he started some kind of message board like a decade and a half ago. Some kind of place for people interested in anime to talk with one another. :^)
> But Bezos, given how much he works and profits to destroy the privacy of everyone else (to say nothing of the labor abuses of his company), is about the least sympathetic victim imaginable of privacy invasion.

That hits the nail on the head. It seems kind of like poetic justice (though I don’t personally agree with anyone’s privacy being violated).

From the Medium post by Jeff Bezos [1] linked in this article:

> “My stewardship of The Post and my support of its mission, which will remain unswerving, is something I will be most proud of when I’m 90 and reviewing my life, if I’m lucky enough to live that long, regardless of any complexities it creates for me.”

Seriously, how much of a cognitive dissonance and compartmentalization must one have to not see the ill effects of his ruthless actions when contemplating looking back on his life when he’s 90 (or old enough)? Having one thing to be proud of and hundreds of other things to be ashamed of — is that a good sign of introspection?

I would disagree. 4chan was the nucleation point from which our modern lives sprung. It was the start of a very fundamental shift in the way people live. 4chan was the place where regular people and high bandwidth internet became married, and where the consequences of that union first materialized. I remember people would find online obituaries and organize raids on the family of the deceased, in one instance tormenting the parents of a deceased child with prank phone calls. People would live stream their suicides and other people would watch them and actually egg them on in the chat. The consequences of total anonyminity was a completely new concept back then, completely new territory. It’s something we have become accustomed to now. Meme culture was totally new, seemingly silly but underpinned by a fundamental arbitrage in communication that proved to be very important. You were not only experiencing these new things, but experiencing them as a part of a relatively small and exclusive group of people. 4chan was a microcosm of the future, and that is what made 4chan so amazingly potent. Pokémon go doesn’t even hold a candle to that in my view.
Learning about logic gates via Redstone was a major contributing factor towards me doing well in my logic design class
I'll start by assuming that the "someone" is male (if not, multiply the answer by 1/2).

What's the probability that this person is himself an only son? I don't know that it's logically derivable - couples have a variety of numbers of children, of various mixes of genders. So far as I can see, that probability can be measured but not derived. Call that probability P.

If I had to estimate it, I'd say that the most common number of children is two, and of the four possibilities (BB, BG, GB, and GG), half of the boys are only sons. (This is presuming that a sister doesn't ruin "only son" status.) So that leaves the probability at 50%. Tweak that with only children (100% of male only children are the only son) vs. more than 2 children (reduces the probability of being an only son), but the probability is reasonably somewhere in the neighborhood of 50%.

The probability we are looking for is P^3 (presuming that only-son-ness is not something hereditable, that is, that the probabilities are independent in each generation. So the total probability is something like 1/8 = 0.125 (or 1/16 if we don't know that the "someone" is male).

Have I missed something here?
I thought the wind towers were particularly interesting. I've never seen anything like that in Europe or North America.

Hilarious!
That's a fallacy. The best comments in HN aren't the "edgy" or controversial ones, they are the ones where someone shares information that I've never seen somewhere else.

Saying offensive things doesn't lift the level of discourse, no matter how much people who would love not to be downvoted complain about the "hive mind".
core stuff should work - the goal is get off Google services, so you get bare minimum functionality.
It's not a zero-sum game because debt is limitless. Imagine an extreme example where you rigged the game and literally won all the money in the world and then kept winning, what would happen next? People would find another form of payment via services and the money is worthless if you are the only one who has it. Therefore you might lend them money in exchange for a service so that they will keep playing your rigged game now accruing a credit of services in addition to money.
So happy to see this mentioned in several comments. I love the movie so much, but most people seem to dislike it for some reason.

You were lied to. The stuff you were exposed to in grade school wasn't math.

Most who comment did not read or comprehend the narrative. Bozo framed his argument. Nothing more.
I think the reference is to the DNC funding Fusion GPS through a cutout (to evade campaign finance laws) and then providing the Steele dossier to the FBI. Which proceeded to lie about it to the FISA court in order to spy on Americans. That sort of thing.
