Agreed. Most car manufacturers' LEDs flicker (just look at any slow-motion video, such as those on Top Gear or The Grand Tour), but GM's are at a much lower frequency that is visible if the vehicle is in motion, or you are in motion.
All this data, but yet most traffic lights don't have sensors and are still on timers.

Of my list, which I'm still parsing, I'm seeing a TON of local car dealerships and realtors. What I really wish is I could see the supplier that's selling my data to these folks who are 100% not running their own Facebook ad campaigns. Actually - I might reach out to the car dealerships and try to figure out what agencies they are using.
This doesn't address the most pressing question I have. Remember the "Looks like meat's back on the menu" scene?

I already agreed that this makes sense for a hobby projecr, which is what it sounds like you're describing.

How many useful projects never have more than one developer?

What is more likely to boost productivity: good tooling (including incremental compilation) or custom-tailored syntax?

Syntax is important, but obsession about syntax (to the point of rejecting hundreds of existing languages) is bikeshedding.

Cultural Problem IMO. My boss likes to say that the military takes their young officers and train the common sense out of them. Personally I blame the service academies for what amounts to 4 years of legalized harassment. First three years are all about getting harassed. The last year is about dishing out the harassment. Then they get a degree to justify the whole thing.

I agree with you. It's tough for many kids to figure out where they fit in in life, and I don't think setting that fork in the road too early is necessarily a good idea. Rather, I think it would be better to expose kids to what careers exist so they are able to make that decision when the time comes.

Myself, I left high school with high marks but no direction. I went to university for computer science the next fall, not because I knew that CS was for me, but because my brother went through the same program and I didn't know what else to do. That only lasted one semester, but six years on, after working various jobs and getting a college diploma in Graphic Design, I've landed on web design and development as a career. I had no idea this kind of work existed when I was in high school.

>I think the line of reasoning is something like this: "The rich" are bad, we need the government to save us from them.

Isn't the argument that extreme wealth disparity is bad, and that government is one of the best and/or only vectors for affecting societal problems on such a massive scale? Your version sounds mangled on purpose to make half of the people in the discussion look bad.
Ah! I'm glad someone found the same thing as I did regarding Phillips bulbs. Here's my old post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18645237
Reading about bulbs lead me on a journey and I somehow stumbled upon limelights (aka oxyhydrogen bulbs), which was the original theater lighting 'bulbs'. Basically, you can direct a torch over a block of lime (or a cinder-block I guess) and it will become extremely bright.

When an app records itself it only has access to passwords that it already has access to. The issues are (1) these recordings go to a separate company, not the app developer and (2) developers (should) know to treat passwords as sensitive data but they didn't think to treat these recordings the same way.

Most licensing regulation for these things are for professional commerce, and the more general the more they about demonstrating financial means to cover liability and/or a means of taxation, education or demonstration of work is of minimal to no importance. Aquiring general contractor licenses I often found myself using a web 2 fax service to submit pdf documents to a fax number... over T38/VoIP to the building department who could print the fax from their email as they required physical copies to be filed.

It's rarely criminal for homeowners to DIY within building code regulations, permits be damned. When the bank owns part, appraisal or home sales happen, insurance policies are involved non disclosure can be fraud.

My 2¢ on DIY from general contracting experience,

Water:
Undetected water leaks can be fucking expensive, consider location and worst case scenario when making decisions. Don't use shit like AS SEEN ON TV toilet tank gaskets or tool free water valves in a production environment.

Gas:
Thread seal tape is a lubricant that helps seat solid metal (usually) connections to create a seal, not a sealant. (can be welding agent for polymers)

Water, dish soap, spray bottle helps test connections.

Gases have different smells or lack there of, different densities (sink, rise, displace oxygen), can combust in different concentration ranges, etc so understand this.

Electric:
Changing the load or adding potential for increased load on a circuit (new fixtures, receptacles, breaker, fuse, conductor, etc) could cause arcing and lead to fire in unexpected ways. Sections of copper wire get replaced with smaller gauge at some point over a properties history and then get sealed back up in a wall, among all kinds of other wacky shit. Understand the physics and dangers.

Connections are important, and common points of failure. They should be appropriately terminated and enclosed. Use the proper size wire nuts.

All:
Valves, switches, and people are flaky so plan accordingly. Test shut-off or failsafe mechanisms and have a plan for the worst case scenario.
Ok. So what? Software and services have kept usage metrics and clickstream data for decades. They have privacy policies saying that they may collect data about how you use their product. This is that data. So, is this a surprise?

I'm not positive on this one, but out seemed the article alluded to the idea that the 100,000hr life was measuring to LED failure and ignoring the possibility of driver failure, whereas now there are stricter standards both for measuring the potential of a driver to fail and measuring the lifetime of an LED as the point at which out drops by 30% rather than the point of total failure.

You can definitely get a refund for that. Realistically, DD will just refund the charges and then ban your account. Cheaper than fighting over a $15 tip, especially when disputes cost them whether they win or lose.

IMHO the responsibility properly rests on the POTUS, who is commander-in-chief of the military, and on the Congressional armed-services committees.

It's their job to make sure the U.S. military is functioning well, and they're apparently not doing it.

And if a friend had put your name and phone number in their phone, and they synced their contact list with FB and merged the contacts, welcome to the system (at least Android has this function, it can have contacts from many sources like Skype, FB, WhatsApp, GMail, and can put all of them under 1 person in the Contacts app).

I wonder if the linking is even necessary, if FBs dark pattern made your friends upload their contact list, they could just infer that since Alice and Bob are your FB friends and they both have your name and number on their uploaded contacts, they can probably associate that number with your FB profile with x% certainty (a higher percentage if your FB friends Cedric, Dave, Emily and Fritz also have the same name and number...).

Same for me with the car dealerships. I've never owned a car or even ever contacted a dealership before. My guess is maybe car rental companies are selling the data to dealerships, since they would be gathering email + phone and car-renters would be targets for car-sellers.
Why do you think this is an argument?
I don't find the Docker API particularly intuitive. For my use-cases so far I've found it much simpler to spin up a VM if I want to duplicate a particular environment.

I think where Docker tends to shine is when you are operating at scale. For larger players using VMs to recreate a computing environment is expensive and eats into your bottom line. In such situations there's value in having some kind of tooling or API that partitions and simulates specific environments for processes running in the same kernel space. For better or for worse, in 2019, Docker is the best solution to this problem.
To some degree I agree but I am pretty impressed how much they have been able to add while still keeping C# a pretty clean language. I am sure most language designers dream about starting from scratch....
JPEG captured that nuance nicely. HTML captured the nuance of John K's letters to other kids pretty well, too. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/arianelange/john-kricfa...
Spot on.

I'm old enough to recall my patents' relief when I got a polio vaccination. There were multiple children on iron lungs among their age-peer friends.

I grew up in the age of antibiotic supremacy. It's still counterintuitive for me to realize that somebody can now die of a bacterial infection from a scratch.

I hope we don't have to return periodically to the bad old days to convince people of the worth of vaccination.

edit - missing word
Quite the contrary, as someone who has been doing C# since it was invented, I find all of the new features to be implemented in a very coherent, even respectful way. It can seem like things are arbitrarily tacked on, but once you start using the features in earnest, it becomes quite clear that they are very well designed, very well thought out. I have much, much respect for the C# language committee. They've done amazing work in adding features and keeping the language clean and forwards compatible!
This sounds like sarcasm, but I think there are reasonable lines of argument that this is explicitly true.
No idea what I was spelling there.
It certainly can, but Washington state has a slight libertarian bent and the current law lets parents opt their kids out of vaccination with a form. Other states are much more strict. The current legislature is considering changing the law in light of current events...
Replaying user behaviour is not a privacy issue. Pretty much every mobile/web app connected to the internet is doing this with varying granularity.

AFAIK it's a pretty standard practice in UX and product design. A&F might have analysed hours of your finger gesture activity, but I doubt they're gonna know what brand of toilet paper you wiped with this morning.
What y'all really want is Google Critique. You just don't know it yet, because you haven't experienced it, as it's internal to Google. The closest public product that I could find is http://reviewable.io (no affiliation) which, while it looks weird/amateurish, nails most of the points which make Critique so amazing. There's also Gerritt, but it's too invasive in terms of workflow, whereas Reviewable integrates with GitHub in a more lightweight fashion.
Of course I'd never use LINQ inside a tight loop in the rendering path of my Unity3D projects, that's not what it is built for, but in my setup and project management code it is a god-send for expressiveness and maintainability.
The authority is there, but especially in the past couple of years, people prefer to listen to their own reality.
Yeah... but... I didn’t want to have to boycott a company that has something reasonably priced, and worth buying, just because they can’t control themselves, and feel an urgent need to stalk me, and help other stalkers stalk me, and maybe even know enough about me to affect employment opportunities, or help others learn about how much money they can make of me, whether they should insure me, rent an apartment to me, offer lines of credit, help me buy a home or property, offer up granular evidence of my whereabouts, which could inform on me during a forensic investigation, attempt to manipulate me according to sexuality and orientation, pretend their my friend...
In some jurisdictions, that is still, rightly so, considered PII.
I agree about needing more food prep than surgeons. It is like that scene from Office Space where the whole question of what you would do with a million dollars helps you decide what you should do for a living. Everyone wants to be rich and live easy but it is never that simple. Half of it is education and the other half is just plain luck/rng/fate. Education sometimes is just one in a list of things needed in life.
No, it simply isn't that rare. You haven't been around wood shops and machinery much if you think that.

I tend to think F# is what C# would look like if designed from scratch these days. My take is that C# started out not very good because it copied a not very good language (Java) but they improved on Java a bit and have continued to add things that tend to improve the language within the constraints of remaining backward compatible.

Choosing just on the language I wouldn't choose C# but when working in an ecosystem built around C# (like Unity for me currently) I appreciate many of the features as making things a bit nicer.
Your data actually confirms my thesis.

But thanks for the data points, very helpful.

Fruits and Veg are super cheap.

A 10 lb bag of potatoes is $5 at Safeway in SF. That makes quite a number of 'servings' of McD's fries.

Avg ground beef price in US is $5.50/pound in 2018, 1.8 ounces in McD hamburger = 62 cents for the meat.

Wonderbread 20 pack of buns is $3 = 15 cents for the bun.

A slice of tomato, bit of lettuce = not much.

So the burger made at home is less than 90 cents.

The soda is surely less expensive, especially on sale.

So at least for 'fries, burger and coke' in the cheapest place, it's still cheaper to cook - and of course the 'expensive' part is the meat.

It's very inexpensive to buy and cook vegetables, and most fruits are cheap as well.

Meats etc. get a little tricky, but still cheaper than fast food.

I'm really surprised at the comments indicating otherwise, this is pretty easy to see for people that buy food, I didn't think this would be contentious.
Speculation elsewhere (a Twitter thread I've since lost) is that car dealerships are simply uploading every possible US phone number as a "contact". It seems reasonable, and I can't really think of other reasons car dealerships in states I've never visited have added me (or at least some info Facebook associates with me) as an ad target.
I've been thinking a lot on the anti-intellectualism lately.

Lower intelligence people are less able to judge whether an idea is sensible on its own merits. Furthermore, they are likely to be outwitted by people with higher intelligence. So their mode of operation becomes to not even attempt judging an idea by its merits, lest they end up fooled. Rather, they judge based solely on the perceived stature of whom the idea is coming from.

The breakdown of our media institutions furthers the problem - rather than presenting an opinionated application of common sense that condemns poor ideas, they've devolved into giving "each side" equal time to obscure their true power of defining what subjects are talked about. So once these memes get out there, they keep circulating as folk wisdom continually re-validated by appearances in mainstream media.

I think it's also about inability to take risks. Rich kids can afford to try ambitious things and fail: they'll be fine anyway. Poor kids usually cannot. The only solution to this is a much stronger social safety net.
Too many things. It implanted the idea that people, all people can be understood explicitly, through empathy (and that all people can be empathized with). It showed me a way of thinking that was based off of human emotions and understanding but also analytical. Father Zosima's conversation with the woman with the dead child also helped me resolve the question of how much of a part one's thoughts and intentions play in whether you're a good person, and in general what it means to be a good person and how that can change. There are other things, but on first reading those are the ways that it directly influenced my viewpoint (that I can remember now).
You're right; they removed it from their mobile site to push app downloads. You can force the desktop site and do it that way even though it's a drastic inconvenience.

You are looking at the wrong language.

That said, the array module has been around for ages, for performance reasons.
> So, we're supposed to trust the application's main process to accept a credit card securely, but not trust their system which tracks UX?

Correct. The payment code is usually gone over with a comb for PCI compliance (or completely outsourced to someone like Stripe), whereas the UX tracking is much less so. It's also a common enough issue that stuff like credit cards or API codes end up leaking into logs.
Second that Doug Fleenor recommendation. They make some fantastic lighting kit.

I'd also like to add that looking for lamps with the CEC Title 20 & Title 24 certifications should be helpful in finding bulbs that dim well, as California has much stricter regulations on dimming flicker and buzz than the rest of the country.
Another key paragraph is this one:

“This gives Air Canada employees — and anyone else capable of accessing the screenshot database — to see unencrypted credit card and password information,” he told TechCrunch.

The takeaway is that some companies are capturing things that they shouldn't be storing, and the article has exposed atleast one instance where this information has been sent to a third party without masking.

--

As a side note, I've always been afraid to use payment options within apps that redirect to bank logins or payment gateways and this only feeds my fears.

Even if you're making the payment through a trusted bank or a payment provider, these apps still probably intercept and store the information you gave your bank.

But it begs the question. What's underpinning that as the root cause for what we're now seeing?

My money's mainly on the loss of prestige surrounding the teaching profession, and loss of the elite status of high education. It's simply not valued as it once was, and as a result everyone's 'highly' educated while simultaneously quite poorly educated, at least outside of stuff that is scored on tests. As the parent post says, 'Critical' reasoning/thinking skills are demonstrably lacking.

Reading back what I just wrote, I'm certainly entering 'old man yells at cloud' years of my life it seems :)
This is probably much more difficult and taxing. On every signup, you're now checking MX records and IP's, not just looking at a string. And Mailinator can change this information regularly too if they choose.
