The ironies of reading articles about the pathologies of the 2019 digital economy are... well...

The publications where you might read about the problem are likely contributers to it.

From the EU, before you read about companies abusing your privacy you first go through their "consent" page, maliciously designed to prevent readers from preventing "the Oauth family" from giving whatever data they can get on you to advertisers.

Then you get to read the article:

"I’ve never understood exactly what it means when a company says it values my privacy. If that were the case, data hungry companies like Google and Facebook, which sell data about you to advertisers, wouldn’t even exist."

... TC's modus operandi & business model appears to be the same.

On many occasions I have read an article bemoaning fake news that was framed by "native ads," pretending to be articles, and promoting fake science (one wierd trick), apocalypse cults and worse.
The distinction between energy and power seems to mystify pretty much everyone apart from engineers and scientists. I consistently see it confused in articles in mainstream media.
Yeah, I was actually trying to find something like this too... maybe its time I looked into how to write browser plugins myself, but I have too many other projects right now.
It is possible that an admin changed the title.

Folks probably downvoted you because they deemed your tone unwelcome here.
You question them, ask if they saw anything unusual, ask if they saw anybody matching a suspect's description, spot a known perp, spot somebody staking out the place hours before the crime...

If you mean the sentence which says:

Global cancer prevalence has risen from 0.54 percent to 0.64 percent since 1990

then it 0.64% (or "64 times in ten thousand"); not 64% (or "64 times in one hundred")

this is kind of similar to the famous problem of 0.02 cents (which is not 2 cents, but two hundredths of a cent) which gives verizon such difficulties in explaining correctly [1].

> When I asked 1Password about it, their response was that the functionality wouldn't be coming back in 7 because it wasn't a supported configuration -- it's called 1Password so users should only ever be remembering one password!

What functionality has gone from 7 and isn't coming back? Multiple vaults with distinct master passwords and not requiring their cloud backing?
And to legally use radar enforcement, there has to be a current survey affirming the limit.

But, seemingly, in this case the conditions aren't the same.
I use this as well as 1Password. I'd describe the UX generally as being 'hot garbage' compared to 1Password. The difference in polish is night and day.

That said, based on this report, the security model is significantly better, so the decision becomes do I care more about usability/being pretty, or security.

The never-ending trade-of between security and usability continues...

I really like the UI/UX in this. How was it built?
ublock origin reports 13 blocked requests on the very same page. This includes requests to facebook and google for tracking.
It's cool project, though I very often see critique (or tips) on web design.

Sometimes it's very simple bugs/problems authors have overlooked, sometimes it's just not very good UX (e.g. open a webpage and i does not answer what? why? how? and how much?).

Very often top comment can be a link or explanation which answers all these questions, that index page does not answer.

In this case we have link to the relevant part - which IMO should be the index page.
I stayed a few nights in Ao Nang and even though is quite packed you can still find places to eat without reserving beforehand. I used it more as a base to visit the surroundings, as the beach there doesn't look that inviting with all the boats and the occasional sewer.
I was expecting it to be more "Thai", instead as I walked down the street I heard the same radio hits I hear in Europe. But that's just my expectations hitting the globalization wall.
On a positive note I really liked northern Thailand, the days I spent in Chiang Mai were definitely the best days of the trip.
That depends. Most of the ads or logs from independent ip or domain names, are easy to identify. Of course, if the ads content is combined with normal data from same domain, it's impossible to block without breaking the signatures.
I have in the past parsed terabytes of JSON. The specific use case was analysing archived Reddit comments. The Reddit API uses JSON, and somebody [1] runs a server that just dumps them in a file, one line of JSON per comment, and offers them for download (compressed, obviously). So now you end up with Gigabytes of small JSONs per month, and anything you do will be quickly dominated by JSON parsing time.

You could store them in some binary format, but the API response format changed over the years with various fields being added and removed, and either your binary format ends up not much better than JSON or you end up reencoding old comments because the API changed.

Tangentially, joining lobste.rs is a pain. I once hung around on chat asking for an invite and then gave up. HN on the other hand makes signing up just a matter of seconds, and also has a better breadth of content (because it doesn't make one jump through hoops to sign up). Given this context, the choice between a site where downvoting with a reason is available and a site where downvoting doesn't provide anything more is quite clear at least to me.

I'm pretty sure they made a mistake with the "World Yacht". They linked to a small boat in New York [1] that is used for weddings and other events, which is pretty funny.

I'm almost 100% sure that they were talking about "The World" yacht [2]. I found out about this last year, and I'd be tempted to buy an apartment if I could ever afford it (you need at least $10 million.) The expeditions are amazing [3], as well as the regular lectures and workshops [4].

It's also pretentious, dystopian, and a bit embarrassing. I don't know if those are the sort of people I'd want to spend all my time with, but maybe many of them are just ordinary people who happen to have a lot of money. It would certainly be an interesting place to live.

Same as the UK. While in theory backbenchers can propose new laws, in reality Christopher Chope exists.

> and there's essentially nothing we, as ordinary citizens, can do to replace the current members with people who might actually care about our interests

The commission president stood as the candidate for the largest grouping in 2014. Personally I'd have preferred it if ALDE and Guy Verhofstadt had received the most support, but EPP did, and our MEPs duely voted Juncker in. Just like the UK MPs voted in May as PM, or the U.S. electoral college voted in Trump. That's pretty transparent.

The rest of the commissioners are appointed in the exact same way that the U.S. executive is appointed - on the whim of the President. The difference is that the U.S. president gets to choose from an unlimited pool, but the EU president has to choose from a pool appointed by national PMs.

MEPs can block those appointments, just like the U.S. senate can block appointments.

Parliament can also kick out the commission, that's no more or less democratic than the UK system where MPs can kick out the government.

If we don't like the commission, then we as ordinary citizens, need to vote for someone other than the EPP, or persuade our MEPs to censure them.

Even Nigel Farage said "One of the few things the European Parliament can do is to hold the European Commission to account for its actions".

> Ok, but those pre-Gödel mathematicians were profoundly mistaken about the nature of mathematics. To put it bluntly: they were wrong, so why should I care what they thought?

How do you know they were wrong? Has there been some breakthrough discovery in philosophy? And if they were, Gödel was wrongest of them all. He was the most extreme Platonist of them all.

> If some set of axioms gives rise to interesting mathematical consequences, does that mean these axioms must have philosophical underpinnings? No. Does the 'validity' of the mathematics depend on the philosophical underpinnings of the axioms? No: it counts as mathematics either way.

Again, the points you are raising have been discussed by logicians as part of the philosophy of mathematics. As usual, things are not as simple as you may think.

> Perhaps there's a gap somewhere in my account of things, but I'm not seeing one so far.

Perhaps that's because you've been thinking about this issue for a little bit, while logicians have been grappling with it for over a century. I may have confused you with the reference to physics. It is not the reason for the problem of foundation, but I used it as an example for a situation where something external to mathematics determines our choice of axioms.

Saying you can't beat the market is like saying it's impossible to find a bug in a program because someone would have found it already. The market is only somewhat efficient, and they way it stays (somewhat) efficient, is if everyone is trying to make money.

Moreover, the returns of investors is not normally distributed (a lot of people flipping coins would result in a normal distribution). If you look at the actual distribution of returns, from not just the market, but from investors, you find there's a lot of kurtosis (fat tails) to the distribution. This implies that there are both more losers and winners than what a coin flip would imply.

Some of those winners are pretty clear: Berkshire Hathaway, Renaissance Technologies, 2 Sigma, Bridgewater, etc.

> So given that information why should most of us spend the effort trying to beat the market especially considering the low expense ratio on some really solid ETFs.

By managing your own money, you are inherently making asset allocations. Do I just invest 100% in SPY? That's a pretty bad idea, so even if you are just using low-cost index funds or ETFs, you are still actively managing your portfolio. You need to decide your asset type (equities, bonds, options, etc), your universe (S&P 500, Russel 2000, etc), your portfolio weights, and a host of other factors.

There is no such thing as just investing in the "market." Everyone is making an explicit or implicit choice, and that, of course, is the definition of active management.

This project is awesome regardless of it being a weapon. Trying to prevent information from getting out there is ridiculous - if somebody wants to kill lots of people they will find a way irrespective of actions taken to prevent it.

The safe guard here is: (1) there is a reasonable level of engineering competence required, (2) a resource barrier (time and money), (3) building something like this is quite obvious and (4) most people don't want to hurt people.

Upon opening YouTube the visitor is faced with videos published by others. Upon uploading there's one input dropdown right in front and center of the user, by default saying Public.

Sure, people only skim and headline-read articles, but because most articles are shit. That doesn't mean people don't ponder at least a bit when faced with a YT upload page. (And the upload through mobile app is probably more common for non-pro [first time, casual, accidental(!?)] youtubers, there the privacy: public field is pretty visible, legible and explicit.

They can mean anything in people's mind, public is that yeah anyone I send the link can see it, but that's not exactly YT's fault, that people don't make the connection, and somehow live in a fantasy world.
Number handling looks like it would be a problem. There are Test suites for json parsers and lots of parsers that fail a lot of these tests. Check e.g. https://github.com/nst/JSONTestSuite which checks compliance against RFC 8259.

Publishing results against this could be useful both for assessing how good this parser is and establishing and documenting any known issues. If correctness is not a goal, this can still be fine but finding out your parser of choice doesn't handle common json emitted by other systems can be annoying.

Regarding the numbers, I've run into a few cases where Jackson being able to parse BigIntegers and BigDecimals was very useful to me. Silently rounding to doubles or floats can be lossy and failing on some documents just because the value exceeds max long/in t can be an issue as well.
Arizona Mulls a Mandatory DNA Database
For storing stuff yourself, sure, but as a web developer, most data I consume is JSON served by some third-party REST API and the format they serve me is definitely not under my control. Anecdotally, most developers I know or have spoken to are in similar situations for a large portion of their data-processing needs (at least, for stuff that's not in a database, although even in DB's, JSON is increasingly popular for a number of reasons).

Even for output, there is the common case where your clients expect JSON because its the de facto standard and is super accessible (every language has parsers for it), so you have little choice but to serve your data as JSON.

The sort of reckless officisting caused a ton of damage both physicaly and mentally to the Suns (as it encourages benifiting teams to be dangerously aggressive and can mentally breaks down the opposing teams, leading to technicalities)

Still strange. Why should an admin change the submission of a random user if it doesn't breach any of HN's rules?

Maybe because it's not a random submission by a random user?

Guess I must be wrong but would love to hear what that admin who did the change has to say.

> great comparison of FP/OO approaches to UI

Thanks!

I think your analysis is very insightful, but there are some additional wrinkles. I don't really think it's just OO vs. FP or Desktop vs. Web, though those aspects definitely play a role.

First, if it's an actual User Interface, something that the user interacts with, stability is not something imposed by platform convention or frameworks, but an inherent requirement: if I edit text, my text field (or editor) better be stable as I type, or it will be impossible (and infuriating)
to actually interact with. If I interact with a list, that list better be stable. etc.

If it's just (mostly) visualisations that I consume mostly passively, that's a different matter (and then there are games, where you interact with a full-screen visualization).

That's not to deny your observation that interfaces have become more fluid, certainly on mobile and web, and that there isn't a certain kind of desktop application with very static/forms based interfaces (business CRUD...). You can be more static on desktop because you have the screen real estate, and disabled but visible controls are generally considered to be better than things that hide/show/slide.

So there's a bit more going on, and I think a crucial difference is how the more dynamic parts of interfaces are created. After all, it's not as if "classic" user interfaces are incapable of doing dynamic visulations and interfaces: you create a view, and within your view your drawRect: (Cocoa) method draws whatever you want however dynamically you want it. As an extreme example, 3D games tend to have an OpenGLView (now a MetalView) and inside that you have all the action.

After all, "object orientation" has both: data-structures and methods that act on them, and OO user interfaces also have both, meaning you can get as "functional" as you want. You can compose objects, draw procedurally/functionally and mix and match both to your heart's content.

For some reason, or maybe set of reasons, that doesn't seem to happen much any longer. Instead "object oriented" appears to be interpreted more in the way of "object oriented graphics", where you have a set of shapes (or widgets) that you can assemble, but without the part where objects can have arbitrary behaviour.

What this unwillingness or inability to embrace the full capabilities of OO means is that when you have dynamically varying content, you now have to dynamically change the composition of your objects/widgets. Which, admittedly, those frameworks were not created for, I am guessing at least partly because they have a different mechanism for achieving those effects.

> [Lists, functional approach, re-compute ]

If you look at NSTableView and related, you will see that they also provide a fully lazy interface to the data source[1], which can be infinite. However, the caveat from above applies: those lists better be at least somewhat stable if you want to be able to interact with them.

An example of company that would be helped by future disruption would maybe be Amazon or Tesla. Examples of companies that might be hurt by the future would be Exxon or Phillip Morris or Safeway.
