The statement you quoted is simply saying that the author agrees with K&R. Nothing wrong with it.
The first five I reloaded were all cross-eyed.
There’s so much money in sports betting now, there’s no way that there isn’t a ton of corrupt behavior going on.

Allowing widespread legit betting is asking for less than honest behavior. Even a single player throwing a few shots or missing/hitting a metric can make people money.

The leagues can also not notice things that encourage behavior that fans like. Baseball players on steroids attracted a lot of buzz in the 90s and early 2000s.
Google is not going to all of a sudden start recording you in your home without your knowledge, and then say 'hey look, you signed a contract'. That would be an obvious PR disaster, not an 'I forgot disaster'.

If/when Google enables this tech, it think it will be clear enough. If not, then definitely would be time to raise a real fuss.

"There seems no good reason to me that the specification summary can't say" - I agree with you there - however, I suggest that they mighn't have even have thought of it. That would be the prudent thing to do, but again, there's no established procedure for it.

There probably was not even a legal review hint etc. because as I say, they were not using it.

So it's questionable, weird, but not nefarious.

What they will do, with your ostensible permission, with a signed T&C - is to me, far more nefarious.

> that's called a multiple point of failure, which is a good thing.

Totally leaving aside the argument you were in - multiple single points of failure are bad, and very different than the opposite of a single point of failure.

Having a SPOF means one thing will take you down. Having multiple SPOF means any one of those can take you down. Lack of any SPOF means no one thing will take you down, it will require multiple problems. 3 distinct options.
You're asking someone to prove a negative, which is pretty much impossible.

Honestly, I want something that blocks spam notifications.

Specifically, things like "you have a free credit" notification from Lyft, or Amazon's "Check out our new sale" notification.

My phone should not ding for nonsense like that. That is SPAM, and that is not something that I need to know immediately.

The problem is that apps like Lyft and Amazon have rather important notifications, so blocking all notifications from those apps is not possible.
This is effectively structuring for email. Would it be immoral to sell a system that allows people to bypass money laundering restrictions by automating structuring? I don't see how this is any different.

Sweden probably has a slightly undeserved reputation in this area. These days mainly the financing is socialized, which is still something. The services themselves are privatized. So the quality can vary wildly depending on location and provider. Or even almost randomly. It is more similar to a capitalist system in that regard. I think maybe Norway or Finland might be better examples of countries offering egalitarian service today.

Wow. If true, it's interesting given that Cloudflare was rumored to be preparing for an IPO. Perhaps Akamai is offering a better deal? There certainly should be synergies between the two companies.

> In Bullshit Jobs, American anthropologist David Graeber posits that the productivity benefits of automation have not led to a 15-hour workweek, as predicted by economist John Maynard Keynes in 1930, but instead to "bullshit jobs": "a form of paid employment that is so completely pointless, unnecessary, or pernicious that even the employee cannot justify its existence even though, as part of the conditions of employment, the employee feels obliged to pretend that this is not the case."
I think we agree then? I said "assuming you can execute arbitrary code with the elevated privileges".
Are you just claiming that vulnerabilities exist, including undiscovered ones, or that there have been discovered flaws for all versions?

I'm pretty well versed in what reification means. Fundamentally it entails taking a theoretical concept and treating it as if it were a tangible, almost embodied, thing.

Maybe my example wasn't the best but this “democracy thing” gets discussed as if it has material properties: that it can expand, that it can be transported from one place to another, that it can be expelled from a locale, and so forth. Those are pretty material attributes to assign to something that is actually notional.
That's because everybody forgets the only way to reliably create something good artificially is to engineer it carefully taking as much relevant real world phenomena as possible in account and keep applying well-engineered fixes as feedback arrives. Just building a set of facilities, proclaiming a set of rules and expecting everybody to play nicely treating those who don't as enemies rather than a rightful element of the puzzle is stupid. Politicians of whatever a kind tend to hate critique while failing to recognize it as a vital resource is a fatal mistake. Even biased critique and false accusations are important to analyze as these still highlight important issues indirectly (at least the fact there is a serious portion of people who are going to believe these for some reason that should be taken in account too).
It's actually a different part of the same sentence.

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
> I think what most people want to know is whether they could re-write a multi-threaded program that is currently using synchronization primitives (locks, semaphores, mutexes, etc) with actors.

Really, it's not obvious? Of course you can: instead of shared memory you now have each actor having its own memory, instead of using locks and working on shared memory you now have messages and can ask actors to do something with their memory and send you the result back.
Keep in mind that the 2nd amendment hasn't even been incorporated against the states for 10 years yet (McDonald v Chicago). So while the right has been incorporated, the court has yet to really rule on the scope of what that means.

Just 10 years ago, it wasn't clear that you as an individual actually had that right, as it pertains to state restrictions - things have certainly improved.

Edit: I guess my original point I failed to make is that the courts have actually affirmed less rights than most people realize, but when they do (finally) do so, they tend to stick around.
That's like saying a cigarette company saying "We're not the reason lung cancer exists. We just create them, and if people choose to smoke it, that's their decision!".

Which is fine, but admit you have an immoral business, and are just doing this for lots of money. Don't justify anything.
It's a spam tool, plain and simple. The relevancy of that spam is entirely besides the point.

Once this app becomes large enough to get on Google's radar it'll likely be shut down.

The makers of spam tools often make lots of money in the beginning (e.g., XRumer blog spam), but once they get big, adjustments are made (e.g., CAPTCHA for blog spam) and the tools become ineffective/useless.
Anyone know if the S10 or Fold will support Linux on Dex?
The definition of best is irrelevant. The point is the distinction between maximizing something for an individual versus maximizing that same thing for the group.

Only with additional work, if the attacker also extracts your password file. That's something I'd like some resistance against anyway, so malware can't simply do that and potentially decrypt it a few years down the line.

This of cause doesn't help against a resourceful and highly targeted attack, but that's less of a concern for me than some malware toolbox adding support for common password managers.

I'm not sure why you want someone to go to jail for this incident specifically. The police acted in a manner that, at the time, they believed to be lawful. When the state was sued they also thought the police acted within the law, backed the officers, and won their appeal. Then after both sides made the best case they could, the supreme court ruled their actions were ultimately unconstitutional.

Do you really expect a random police officer to be a constitutional scholar? Dude should get his car back along with some damages to make up for the time/money he had to waste on this case but I don't think anyone should be going to jail over it.
> Unfortunately, Commerce Clause abuse and the effective neutralization of the 10th Amendment has created the opposite situation where the government can do anything it wants as long as it isn't specifically prohibited, and citizens are only guaranteed rights if they are specified.

I mean, that's true, but it's also true that it's extremely difficult to get 50 states to jump forward at the same time, particularly when corporations comparatively have no hurdles at all over the same geographic region. Getting 50 of anything to do something at the same time is nearly impossible. If we want to do something about many significant, widespread problems, we need the power of a centralized Federal government. As the saying goes, the Constitution is not a suicide pact.

Our Constitution wasn't written with the management of 50 states and citizens numbering nearly 350 million in mind. Our founding fathers expected that there would have been multiple constitutional conventions by this time. It's easy to see the dilution of individual voices[0]. Our founding fathers though that one representative for every 40,000 individuals was inadequate, and changed it to be closer to one for every 30,000. Today, it's one for every 700,000 on average.

No, I don't think that adding more representatives would help the problem, but our political system, invented in the 18th century, is nearly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of people in this nation.

Konami code that, when entered, prints "A winner is you!" in the console.
The GDPR was a regulation - a type of EU law which immediately applies uniformly in every member state.

This proposal is different because it is a Copyright "Directive" - directives leave the implementation details up to the member states. If a court rules a particular member state's implementation to be in violation of the directive, the directive's wording has the supremacy and overrides the local law. Still, this leaves some leeway for member states. They may choose different approaches to reach a common EU goal, or more lax/stricter punishments provided that the directive allows for that.
For example: the right to vote, the right to run for elected office, the right to enter US territory and remain there indefinitely.

Essentially it would be credited to all taxpayers as less tax revenue would in principle be required but in reality it'd be a drop in the bucket, which is the point.
Hubski was originally based off the HN code and continued development in Arc (https://hubski.com/pub?id=126759).

So from the sound of that it seems like civil asset forfeiture without charges filed or judgments rendered against a person should be dead in the water legally right? Because under this ruling any forfeiture under §§ 881(a) would be considered a punishment and there's a right to due process before punishment correct?
Both, which seems not just reasonable, but very much probable to me.

The nba clearly wants the refs to be bent, it's a requirement. They actively encourage seeing it the home teams way, favouring the big stars and call it to keep it close as this is all good for marketing. The question is not whether the refs are bent it's merely who is paying them to be so. I doubt anyone thinks the nba refs honestly try to enforce the rules with an even hand. Do any adults think this? NBA is a mix of sport and Pro wrestling, which seems a shame given the immense skill levels and training on display.

My reaction was simply validating that sending from-gmail to-gmail has high open/conversion rates, as the poster stated. However, you can only do this with a limited number of emails (500/day for Gmail or 2,000/day for G Suite). That's not to say that Google will let ANYTHING be sent between Gmail and G Suite accounts. There are lots of cases where Gmail has blocked its own users from sending to each other.
Slightly OT: IMHO, I think Samsung made a huge mistake announcing the Fold along with their other products.

1 - This is a new product category and I think it deserves its own stage.

2 - Fold is overshadowing everything else Samsung announced. Galaxy, etc. are their biggest sellers but they lost the main attention to the Fold. Basically Fold's hype will cannibalize market attention of their new announcement that will make most of their revenue.

They define a rockstar as someone in the top 1% of productivity. In order to know how many average employees that equates to, you need to know something about the distribution of productivity across employees. Only then can you judge whether the harm caused to normal employees by the "toxic rockstar" is worth the price.

Show HN: I Made a Product to Help Indiemakers Connect and Share with Each Others
Hello everyone!

Today I would like to introduce you my new service that completely meets my needs (at least, but maybe yours too ? Let me know :)

My problem

For the explanation, I have been running a blog about video game development for some time now. However, I'm all alone on this side project and I don't know anyone who does the same thing in my close circle. Faced with certain challenges and doubts, I sometimes feel on my own. I would like to be able to share my experiences with someone who does the same thing as me (not necessarily an entire community, just a person because to my opinion it makes exchanges and discussions more easy).

My solution

That's why I decided to create an MVP of the service with a friend. After some work on it, it is ready ! It is called startner.me

Its use is very simple: you enter your first name and email address, your area of interest (for the moment it is possible to select "SaaS Development", "Infopreneurship" and "Entrepreneurship in general"). Then all you have to do is describe the project you are working on or planning to launch.

Once registered, we "match" people's profiles according to their interests and assign them a "Startner" with whom they can talk about their project.

Why startner? Because it is the combination of "start" from "startup", and "partner" :)

Feel free to check it out at https://startner.me and tell me what you think :)

Thank you for your try and feedbacks !

If IKEA can build a machine that repeatedly flexes their chairs until failure, I'm forced to believe that Samsung can build a machine that repeatedly flexes their screen. Surely that's not going to be the failure mode, it's more likely to be grit in the mechanism or fragility after dropping.

Correct, but refusal to enforce a law is one of the checks the executive has on the legislature. When this happens it's up to the judiciary to mediate.

Except for Microsoft and Facebook all the email newsletters/new product announcements/whatever actually add value to my life since I actually find them interesting or I'd click the unsubscribe link.

With Microsoft I try to get them to stop sending emails but it seems to not even be possible without some sort of advanced MSDN certification.

With Facebook they seem to come up with some new opt-out classification every time they get some bad press and start filling up my inbox with stuff I couldn't care less about.

I have done a bit of simd programming in past & I can tell you that its quite common to expect to rewrite your simd optimized code as a new architecture come along. sometimes you do it even as you go between different iterations of the same arch (like cortex-A8 vs A9) because of different instruction timing (and sometimes bugs). In general, asking hardware to auto-optimize around your code doesn't works except for simple problems & even then you are likely leaving performance on table.

What I really want is a lots of different types of vector & permute ops and the ability to reconfigure the simd unit on a dime when I am done with a specific type of compute (like crypto) and switch to another type (like signal processing).
