> it took me about 3 minutes to rectify my "for fun" scraper.

Did you mean to say "rectify" as in "fix/adjust"? It sounds like you might have meant "reify" – as in, "create" – but I don't know whether you had the scrapper before that.

I'd say - just kill all "rent stabilization" in sub-100th st on Manhattan and move all social housing out. Sell the land to the millionaires and put up sales taxes for non-residents elsewhere in NYC to 50%. Let the millionaires fight it out in Manhattan... they already do that today!
This is what is frustrating. I will agree that users are subject to civil law, but that is not a moral claim. I am seeing so many people on HN taking a strong, rebuking moral stance on a civil matter. They hand wave the morality of Spotify allowing RCE by third-parties but feel indignant for a person breaking a fucking TOS or EULA.

Viewpoints and skills are teachable, although that can take a lot of effort.

But habits ? depending on what habits are we talking about, some are highly related to personality, to willpower, to interpersonal skills,etc and those are really hard to change, or maybe impossible, for some.

And if aim so high in changing human beings, is this the best we can do ? to create better money making machines ? And what will that do to our old values - stuff like kindness, family values, creativity for it's own sake ?

And will it even work ? Or is being an Elon Musk copy will just become a requirement for working as a barista ?
Metallica doesn’t get a dime when their records played all night on college FM. The local hardware store on the radio ad also doesnt know anything about the personal lives of who might have heard their ad.

It is a different landscape now than just buying a primetime slot, advertising is much much more about gleaming any piece of potentially useful personal information about a user for an advertisers own furure use or for sale to the highest bidder. And personally identifiable information held by third parties will never be secure as it is a challenge and a prize for talented people to steal.
They don't want to set a precedent of people blackmailing with a bug like rumours say he tried. The bounty program sets a price an avoid exploitation on both sides. Respecting that was more important.

Paying a scholarship allows Apple to send a valuable transfer but no cash, rewarding the discovery without setting a precedent.
she is not rushing to rent it out. Before seeking a new commercial tenant, she wants to find the right way to dispose of all the old equipment, file cabinets and other workplace detritus.

Rushing into things, taking the first offer, etc. This is irrational. Finding the right way to "dispose" of equipment, i.e. finding the highest bidder or, failing that, the closest scrapyard, before finding a new leasee, is not irrational.

The FAA doesn't hand out flight certifications like candy. I wouldn't be worried too much.

Concorde's only fatal accident was a result of running over debris that punctured the fuel tank and burst a tire, so it wasn't necessarily any issue with the plane itself. Conveniently enough, this also happened near the EOL of the plane, right before a recession and 9/11.
This is the realistic scenario, unfortunately, since the "users" in this scenario wouldn't understand the distinction between one tech job and another.

Substitute that job for one selling drugs with better, more consistent pay and... well... then it's culturally frowned upon by non-tech-savvy people.

Deliberately spreading "fake news" is the advertising equivalent.
I believe he's receiving cash separately from the college fund.

A college fund is a common way to acknowledge that a teenager often isn't the best judge of how to spend an influx of cash. Heck, if all of my employee bonuses over the years had been added to my retirement fund instead of my checking account, I'd be in much better shape.
Nice.

Still should have responded to them faster. Someone at Apple just dropped the ball when they got the report.
I read it somewhere that Chinese websites are taking this kind of obfuscations to the next level. The simple ones are randomly ordered divs re-layouted by JS at runtime. The complicated ones include custom font files which characters and glyph don't match, so for example <div style="font-family:custom-font">abc</div> would look like "123".
They probably did do this in the first place. But products change over time, so they need to keep doing them.
Why would it? That's just ... reading something into this that isn't there.

The child is what, 14? You're not going to just drop a bucket o' cash in his lap. They probably talked to his mom and worked this out.

> The main incentive to work is that you need to work to make a living.

With means-tested social benefits, that is not the case, and, in fact, you lose some (or in some particularly perverse, but unfortunately not all that uncommon cases when multiple means-tested programs are involved, more than all) of the additional money gained by adding work to reduced benefits.

That is the disincentive UBI removes (or, more accurately, reduces and/or pushes to a higher income level, because you run into it—though not the more perverse form unless marginal tax rates are above 100%—in the taxes to pay for benefits.)
Thank you for this. Made my day :)
I do not think anyone offering to contribute to a tuition fund are trying to insult the person.

I can also imagine that putting the money in a fund have a lot of tax related benefits for both the persons giving and recieving the fund compared to paying it out in cash.
That's if you land face first into the water. If you land any other way, your face will probably stay dry.
I mean UBI should ensure that nobody is screwed, but notice that I didn't mention disability or healthcare in the systems to cut.

I think that health is one of the things that is such an unfair distribution of misery that a universal system isn't enough to mitigate it equitably. So I think there should/could be a system dedicated specifically to managing that problem that exists independently of the UBI.
I have never had that reaction because frankly, I don't think it's appropriate to call people who know less than I do 'flunkies'. Sometimes, I like to approach the situation with humility and ask questions. Other times, I quietly ignore the situation. And other times, if it's a particularly egregious error, I'll write code and explain why I think it is better. But I never call someone a flunkie because words and attitudes like that are incredibly rude and toxic.

The moment you convey that sort of attitude, two things happen. The person you called a flunkie will not learn a goddamned thing from you. And, if they happen to be right, you won't learn a damned thing either. Great choices.
Yes I agree with what you write here. I don’t mean to suggest it was a purely political calculation. I mean to suggest that decisions can be militarily bad or irrelevant while still be necessary politically.
Then you can't target the ads to those who most likely will buy, then each impression is worth less in most ad marketplaces. I don't think you will be able to suggest a solution if you ignore the true desires of the buyers and sellers of ads.
Isn't that money only to be paid out if Foxconn actually hires all the people they said they would? Last I heard, Foxconn wasn't even sure that they were going to hire as many people as they originally thought they would.
> It doesn't sound like they were using MultiViews at all but some rewrite rule that rerouted all requests ending in .srv to a shell script in /bin

The request to a.srv (in their example) was only authorized because a request to /index.html/a.srv looked like a request to /index.html to the auth module because the auth module did not check PATH_INFO. The request was then passed to the ssid daemon (not shell script) over a UNIX socket.

a.srv ended up in PATH_INFO because index.html existed.

The developer(s) of the auth module only checked SCRIPT_NAME and index.html was valid for unauthed users.
No idea, I had just noticed it this morning.
I assume they do that sort of thing, but something was missed.

So you find out why you missed it, and do it again to look for anything else that may have been missed the same way.
I wonder how much of the surveillance economy stems from the fact that millennials don't really have any extra money to spend. They can't pay for things like the Boomers could, so you have to make money from them in other ways by trying to secretly convince them to buy things with what money they do have. If younger people had money maybe they could pay for quality newspapers and websites. But all the wealth has been pushed upwards. So it is ads everywhere and people paying with their privacy loss and attention instead.
Yeah, Spotify's premium plan with family member access is $15/mo. It's worth a lot more to me than that. I can't imagine tolerating ad intrusions (or feeling justified in working around their free plan's ads) to save 50 cents a day.
I thought "enhancing the performance of data storage technologies" referred to hard drives? What else would it refer to???
FWIW it sounds like it's not even a working factory any more.

A rich person has every right to burn a pile of money or spend it on some extravagant luxury, but we still consider it distasteful when they do. Particularly when that pile of money is unearned, which seems to be the case here - it's only an accident of birth, and an accident of factory location, that means the factory is now on such valuable land.

In my ideal world there would be a land value tax so that people paid a fair rate to the rest of society for the land they were taking up, rather than the lottery of buying land once and owning it forever.
I was always flabbergasted github doesn't provide this.

Also basic info that every other file browser in the universe shows, like file size.
Oh no don't suggest that.
Well, it says they’ll “compensate [the family] and make an additional contribution [to his education fund]”, so it sounds like they’re doing both.
How about this then - if science is a broad term which includes research and development, what sort of software development isn't "scientific development"?
> Handing out free money will most likely just cause inflation and defeat itself. The inflation will make the amount paid out in basic income insufficient to live on.

I may start calling this the "it is impossible to reduce inequality" fallacy.

If you gave everyone money, would things cost more? Maybe some things. Not everything, and not by 100.0% of the amount of money provided.

Because some of the money gets saved or used to pay down debts, not spent, and only makes people more secure rather than affecting prices. And not everything has the same price elasticity of supply. There are no practical resource limits on how many electronic devices or kitchen tables or wind turbines we can build. If more people can afford them, the price doesn't have to go up because the supply can go up at approximately the same price.

And the money comes from somewhere, unless you're outright printing it, so consumption goes down to some degree there when it goes up somewhere else.

The fact that you get the same amount of inflation you get by anything else that causes the poor to have more money is not a real problem. Getting $1000 and then paying $100 more for stuff is $900 better than the status quo.

Especially since the current problem is not enough inflation -- the Fed keeps wanting to raise interest rates and can't because as low as they are there is still no almost inflation. They keep missing their inflation target on the low side:

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/feds-bullard-says-interest...

Meanwhile everyone is saturated with debt, which inflation helps erode, so having a little more would be better.
Hrmn, no thanks. I've never gotten a coffee at McDonald's that was a remotely drinkable temperature.
I also wonder about this. I'm a paying Spotify member who uses DNS-level ad blocking. Without a clear explanation of how they detect as blocking or if this applies to paid members, I can't tell if things I'm doing for web safety will get me banned from a service I was never trying to block ads for in the first place.

Why not?

I don’t support NIMBY because they stop me from selling my property to a high density developer. Or objecting to having a paper mill open down the street.

How is that related to wanting to keep a property? I.e. “keep my backyard mine”!

Wealthy foreigners is orthogonal. There are policy solutions that can target it directly. For example, property taxes on units left vacant should be higher.
> Even my groceries are getting worse as companies seek ways to increase profits without pissing me off; they swap out quality ingredients with cheaper ingredients. They change the shape of the bottle to reduce volume and hope I don't notice that the price effectively went up. Etc.

If you stick to fresh produce and bulk dry goods, you're pretty much immune to those problems. Incidentally, those happen to be products that never get advertised for.
The suggestion in the manual of the lancet I used was to use the fingers on the less dexterous hand. It seems logical (but may not actually be correct) that you have more precise/sensitive feeling in the dominant pair.
> That is, we give you $15k per year, but start taxing you the very first dollar you earn rather than only taxing income about , say, $20k.

Yup; even in formal models of "utility-maximizing non-linear taxation", it's actually very common for optimal clawback rates to be fairly high for lowish incomes, because (1) this allows you to have a decent UBI for people who literally don't have any other income, while at the same time (2) any money you claw back early is money you won't have to pay out or claw back higher up in the income distribution, and this allows you to lower marginal tax rates a lot for the bulk of income earners, which is good for incentives - especially long-run incentives on skill acquisition and the like. Think of the break-even point where you're getting nothing on net and have to start paying into the system - you don't want that income level to be too high, or else the whole thing would become both unfair and infeasible to fund!

In the real world, UBI is mostly about slashing complex paperwork, and preventing marginal clawback rates as high as 100% or perhaps more(!). But a clawback rate of even 60% or perhaps a bit more, is in fact quite appropriate.

T-Mobile followed suit on that as well, back when they were itching to merge with AT&T. They even went so far as to brand Samsung's Galaxy S Relay as "4G" even though it was at best dual carrier HSPA+.

But the crew in charge of T-Mobile at the time also decided not to bother investing in their network, so back in 2013 T-Mobile US's coverage was absolute shite outside of cities.

It just goes to show that marketing weasels and lobbyists, as always, will happily use tech-speak to bamboozle the masses - and the politicians and regulators as well.
From the context of your message, I think I correctly understood you to mean you have had no problems with the insulin that is in the insulin pump's infusion set reservoir?

Trying to help and I don't want to come off as rude, so please forgive me in advance. The term "insulin on board" has a very specific meaning and it refers to the fast acting insulin that is currently in one's body and still active.

So let us say you are using fast-acting insulin, like Humalog, and it stays active in your body for 2.5 hours.

You take 3 units of insulin at Noon

1 hour later you take another 3 units of insulin

1 hour later you take another 4 units of insulin

At 2:00 you have 10 units of insulin on board

At 2:30 you have 7 units of insulin on board

At 4:30 you no longer have any insulin on board
Are you sure?

Deals seem pretty common
The building will be knocked down anyway if she sells to developers. Probably why shes taking her time with this.
Land will always be scarce because it isn't quantity of land (though that too can be a separate issue) but quantity coupled with positioning of land. Most people could afford to purchase four acres of land in Alaska or VT's north east kingdom, but four acres along central park is quite expensive because, due to the location of the site relative to all the services of NYC and the access to greenery, it is rather exclusive... and I don't believe (including references from all the SciFi I've ever read) that there is any situation society could be in that would nullify the difference in value of two parcels of land - Judge Dredd and Mega City one I believe come closest, even though land overall is much more of a limited supply, most of the inhabitable land is equally worthless - but there are still a few Oasis of dystopian high society around that have vastly different value.

If we draw even to Hitchiker's Guide's concept of built planets, and we considered the cost of making planets would eventually trend to zero... there is still the concept of locality that would influence price.
Most people rate books not based on rather they are good books, but rather if they enjoyed the books and believed in what it was saying. Furthermore, there is a certain demographic of people who uses and rates nonfiction books on goodreads, which will skew the rating.

That is your opinion, and to some degree it’s an opinion I agree with.

That doesn’t mean the opinion has any basis in reality however.

But the two don't have to go together at all. You can have an ad-driven economy without engaging in widespread spying.

I think atemerev's point is that you can find out enough to build a bomb without knowing either relativity or quantum. Yes, E=mc^2 is why the energy is released, but all you need to know is how much energy is released when an atom splits. Yes, quantum mechanics may explain the neutron absorption cross section, but you don't need to know that. You just need to be able to measure the cross section.

I did one project in Laravel. I was impressed. That said, it takes WP to the opposite extreme. That is, it is has little regard for backwards comparability. Finding answers / examples via The Google is messy and frustrating, at least for someone who was new to Laravel.

I like that it's forward-thinking, but it moves so fast that it has negative impact on user (i.e., dev) experience.
The pricing of these services is outrageous. GitHub, for example, gives a lot more value, does a lot more, and charges a lot less per user. When you add all those different services a startup or small nonprofit needs, it ends up being a lump sum.
As I see it, the issue is that ads are being sold to us as something that is for our own benefit, and then go on to collect data for personalized ads that we do not even want.

It is not shocking that content providers want money, but perhaps it would be better if it would not be forced, and if developers would not actively try to make it more and more difficult for us to get rid of. You could just ask instead. Wikipedia seems to do fine.
>Our understanding of any given phenomena is intrinsically linked to what we know about it

Duh? I don't understand what alternative could possibly exist. Do some people somewhere think that the less they know about something, the more they understand it, or that the very first look you take at anything in the world is all you'll ever need to know about it?
>you can't use health care and capitalism in the same sentence.

I most certainly can. Because the poorly defended ideas of capitalism have infected the healthcare system. It is principally the reason why healthcare in the U.S. is in such a sorry state, as I outlined earlier. You can't sit there and invoke a no true scotsman just to validate voodoo economics.

We see other systems working just fine. You should ask yourself "what does it look like if I my ideas and perceptions are wrong."
I don't mean tested as in some organization tests them, I mean is there information showing or alluding to a company fighting back for their users (or business model) against government overreach? If there is, that's useful information. It doesn't mean a company that hasn't been in that situation wouldn't act the same, but we can't assert much about that with any level of confidence.

It's not like any of these indicators can be taken entirely on face value anyway, since their all indicators of past performance and a change in policy at a company could happen any time. Something is better than nothing though.
Seems unlikely, doesn't it? At least I'd say it inherits some syntax from the C-family of languages

Many of the open source journals are predatory. And they will publish anything, even complete junk.
