Yes it's supposed to start with another member bringing it up in private, then maybe reaching out with several members, then bringing it before the elders, etc.

Missing church every Sunday would be particularly visible, especially in a very small church, so a pastor might want to have a conversation about it.

I suppose most other issues would come about from other members... in the most extreme cases the church should hand the individual over to the civil authorities (a husband beating his wife, a leader molesting children, etc) Sadly that sometimes doesn't happen.

But there are a lot of edge cases and wisdom issues, so generally if there's not a clear teaching, the church will leave it as a matter of conscience.

I disagree. I think by default the browser should protect the user, and protect the user's privacy. The browser is an agent of the user, not an agent of the websites the user visits.

I’m an enterprise architect in a place which operates more than 500 different IT systems. I’m on the receiving end of the kind of things this signup will lead to, a lot, really you have no idea how many times I’m contacted.

It’s completely anecdotal but contacting me the way nginx and parters will after I’ve received the free ebook will only do them harm. My department has never taken anyone up on the offerings, and if they don’t include a working unsubscribe link, then you end up blocked companywide.

The free ebook is a lot of good will though, and I’ll remember where it came from. So if it’s good it was a much better investment than whatever usage they’ll get from my email.

I fail to see the issue. Hell my company went further: only their registered devices can even login to access company emails (including via web!) and other services.

Not only it protects them, it enforces the work/personal hardware separation for me, which is good. My work hardware (which is pretty much a laptop and a phone) has no traces of my personal stuff and my personal has no traces of my work stuff and can't even it I wanted it to.

I genuinely don't understand the mixing of personal and work environments. Why would anyone possibly be interested in carrying their work phones with them after their done with work?
That’s a bit far. From my perspective, the point is that looking at inefficiencies in isolation is as bad as looking at benefits in isolation.

Making a frank assessment about the efficiency of meetings is probably of limited value in and of itself in abstractly assessing the overall equation of trade-offs in running a distributed vs collocated business. Even more so when concretely assessing this particular company.

If I ask my User Agent to load a particular news article (for example), I am not intending to ask for a myriad companies to start monitoring my reading habits, social interactions, shopping, or anything else.

When I buy and read a newspaper, I don't expect the publisher to start following me everywhere and keeping a log of my life. When I read an article online, I shouldn't have to think about that either. But sites have so flagrantly abused the ability to deliver more than just the content I've deliberately requested, in order to track (and monetize) user behavior everywhere, that it's entirely appropriate for my User Agent to take steps to defend me.

I don't mind a site delivering some ads alongside the content I've asked for, just like I accept some ads in a printed magazine. But I don't expect my magazine to come with an embedded tracking device that will stick to me like a burr, even long after I've read the content and recycled the pages.

Good. They should've done this ten years ago.

However, I don't know how it'll play out in the long run. FF is already on the radar of ad-driven sites, including those that just need basic unique visitor counters verified by third parties rather than doing evil privacy invasion things. So they could decide to boycot FF alltogether. I hope this isn't going to happen, though. Anyone in the ad-driven content business here to share their opinion? Or should we go back to pixels?

This is an email I just sent internally:

XXXX,

Yeah....We need to have a conversation and push back on them-

IMHO, Segments pricing starts breaking down as company's scale because of a couple factors, that generally allow people to push back.

Some of these reasons (that I know of...and I'm sure you know better), are:

1. Google tag manager is free

2. Many services, like Marketo, don't allow Segment to use their universal javascript widget...so you end up using Segment as a tag manager to push that provider's proprietary widget...reducing the value of Segment. In fact, if you look at the "www." side of our website, we could directly instrument 2 sdk's and remove segment (so net +1 javascript library) and dump segment all together. This would also significantly reduce the unique people count...how they bill!

3. We'll soon have a full-time front engineer focused on the website...So it's not very painful to instrument a new sdk, or add a shared cookie between sdk's.

4. There are options that are really good at moving log files (e.g., fluentd.org) for server side logging. It's how the big boys move log files :)

5. According to google analytics...we're at XX,XXX across webapp + www, so not sure why they are saying YYY,YYY

I realize there's value in Segment, but we can push back on pricing increases.

One last thing, allowing us access to our historic pricing, with no additional functionality, doesn't seem like a big give...especially as pricing usually reduces as you scale. So I am very skeptical of this "new pricing" line of reasoning they are trying to pull!

Looking forward to talking to them ~N

Just for conformity so I don't bash and run, it seems Philips (Hue) has taken the crown recently with ~30 times more attempts to call home then the next culprit, Microsoft. MS also snuck ahead of Sonos.

A lot of these attempts are probably due to the fact that they fail and keep retrying. Possibly allowing them all would lead to far fewer attempts.
The issue I have is that I don't want to carry a full sized keyboard around with me and when I'm somewhere where I have one (ie at home or in the office) I also have a laptop or desktop available with much better development tools, so just use those. iPad development would be for when I'm away from these.

I do have a case keyboard and its fine for basic use (emails, HN comments, short documents, chat messages) but I've never been happy typing a lot on it and I've never been happy programming on it (I've tried various IDE's, web based tools, SSHing into a server etc and I always got frustrated).
That's the feeling I have reading every single comment around here lately.

Alongside what sibling comments said, I'll add that this can't really work large scale because of the road infrastructure. Even in European countries that are relatively forested, the road networks have an immense ecological impact. They segment the land into a fine mesh, which is very difficult or sometimes impossible for animals to traverse, which means that they have to live for generations isolated on a small plot of land, which entails inbreeding and many other subtler effects. You can't have a small ecologically healthy biosystem. It has to be of a certain size to be able to attain a healthy balance and that's virtually impossible in Europe, with some minor exceptions.
slight counter point, I think I recall education having a recent contract with Microsoft which wasn't super OSS to say the least.

I always find it interesting how the Puerto Rican pronunciation of "Yo soy" sounds so very close to the southern French pronunciation of "Je suis".

Netflix Is Shrinking the World
A tracker is a script included as part of a webpage's content, often utilizing some combination of tracking pixels (an http request for a 1x1 image file from the tracking script's providers domain), a persistent cookie, and increasingly some form of browser/device fingerprint which is used to identify a particular machine.

The user's machine presents back to the tracking network the cookie and a bunch of http params to the tracking provider whilst interacting with pages that support the script, which the tracker stores in a database to sell access to.

It gives developers/businesses a way to collect metrics while offloading the trouble of keeping track of and maintaining the infrastructure to do so to someone else.

Firefox will probably be enforcing a cross-origin isolation constraint, requiring that all material be hosted by the domain you're requesting from in the first place, which doesn't really fix the problem since people will probably just try to build ways around the limitation.

Until the industry breaks itself free of it's current fetish for wholesale data collection, it's just going to be an arms race.

That really isn't realistic. Some allies might have been unhappy with Thatcher for normalising the use of nuclear weapons, and might even have openly criticised the UK. But France, the US, the Commonwealth nations would not just desert an important ally: how would that benefit them? They would have retconned the story and we'd all believe now that Galtieri was the next Hitler and would have subjugated the whole hemisphere if not for Thatcher's brave initiative.

> Graphical development environments like that are a nice idea, but tend to be somewhat limited and very domain specific.

Sure, they tend to be, but in my experience with them (mainly Max/MSP and Synthmaker) they don't have to be. The potential is there, but nobody has really done it well. Max/MSP came close when I last used it, but had a few annoying limitations[1] and there's a general negative sentiment towards graphical programming environments, which I feel puts a lot of people off trying them in earnest and therefore puts people off experimenting with building them (and they will never improve if people don't try -- remember, we have decades of textual language evolution and tooling).

Some of the negativity is justified, but some of it is, in my opinion, not. For example, people criticise the visual spaghetti code and cite examples from many existing visual languages (usually the domain specific ones), but ignore that these domain specific ones are used by non-programmers who never learned software engineering principles. Textual code when written by these same people is just as much spaghetti code lacking encapsulation and abstraction and good naming conventions as visual code written by these people. I've seen some Max/MSP code that was downright beautiful and super easy to follow. Don't get me wrong, on a laptop/desktop, I totally prefer textual like everyone else, but I feel on a tablet, visual would be a great fit.

But even with the negative aspects, I think the benefits of being able to use a touchscreen outweighs the negatives, when compared to using a textual language on a touchscreen. For me, at least, if not for others.

> Pythonista does come with a graphical UI builder, but it is still a very code intensive environment.

I guess I'll give it a try, but "code intensive" sounds like what I don't want. We will see. Thanks for the recommendation regardless!

[1] At the time, I couldn't figure out a way of nesting data structures, for example. It seems this is now possible, so I don't know if it was added since or if I overlooked it at the time. There were a bunch such limitations that prevented it from being useful as a general purpose language, but since its not meant to be one, I guess it doesn't matter.
