NPR's Invisibilia podcast started their latest season with an episode about amplified pain. Looks like they got some backlash, too.

I don't think it would be so bad if aviation regulators did jump to conclusions by erring on the side of safety.
For what it's worth, I don't think Spotify is asking the European commission to impose regulations, but rather asking them to enforce the regulations they already have.
>> Do you really think

Yes!

>> How

How graphic do you want me to be? But isn't the real question: is there utility for an ad network to know about your preferences in porn? If there is such utility, you're best to believe Google implemented a way to get them.

If I was an ad network I would love to hear about your porn habits. I would absolutely love it.

That explains why they offer the extension. That does not explain why they make the extension the only option. It should be possible for me to evaluate their ratings without installing their extension, but for some reason they haven't made that possible.

(If you think trust and/or erroring on the side of safety is a strange attitude, I think you a strange person. I don't need to prove this extension is nefarious; they need to prove to me they aren't.)

One argument to be made is that Google Search can only go downwards from here, as it is currently a clear market leader, and the remaining segments are not easy for them to break into.
For example, Baidu has a stranglehold on search in China, and that's not likely to change drastically, with Google facing internal opposition to entering China.
I can't even recall the number of "music curation" and "share your playlist" type services I used in the '00s, and how they all folded.

For that reason, I've never bothered to make Spotify playlists, because I realized I might be locking myself in to begin with. The current generation of streaming users are now discovering something similar to what I did back then.

I do have some playlists on Youtube (whose selection is far bigger when you consider bootlegs, B-sides, unreleased tracks, demos etc), but I take a screenshot of it every now and then so I'll have a copy.

I nearly always own a digital copy of what I listen to, so there's really no reason to store your playlists on Spotify at all.
no because everyone is aware of what the issue is and how to overcome it.

Yeah. On some devices, even the "power-off" button is software (talk about powerlessness!).

I dread the day this growth-at-any-cost marketing machine takes over politically, and these half-assed over-hyped systems (self driving cars come to mind) become mandatory, with no alternative.

The article thoroughly discussed competition and antitrust.

At the risk of "appeal to authority", I'm going submit that Stiglitz is a Nobel Prize winner in economics. My guess is that he's got his bases pretty well covered.
We're definitely still in alpha - during the time we've been on HN, for example, we've discovered that the large amount of traffic projects were getting meant our timeouts were too short. Had we exclusively been using our own patch system for changes, it might have been hard to submit a fix! We turned on github issues again since if someone had a hard time installing or running, they wouldn't have been able to submit bug reports. And we still have breaking changes relatively often.

I'll take this opportunity to say again - this is alpha software, and not ready for production use!
Looks like it only took two events for the FAA to ground them. I think they were instantly grounded because everyone knew the dangers of lithium-ion batteries catching fire.

I've had something similar, where I would get a massive cramp in the night while I was dreaming. It was definitely, IMO, caused by something going on in my mind. I had to learn to wake up immediately when this happened and exercise conscious control of the muscles to stop the cramping to prevent any further damage, as it could really cause me to have seriously sore leg muscles for a day or two afterwards.

I haven't had this happen for at least a year or so now, and it's quite likely this is linked to various major changes that have happened in my life since then.

But yes, I totally agree with you about your conclusion.

Yes. You can sideload an app with Xcode, but you're need a Mac/Hackintosh to do that, plus the sideloaded app needs to be re-sideloaded after a certain amount of time. The feature is more for developers than normal users.
How is this wildly off-topic if the subject of the article is online harassment of scientists, and climate change is specifically mentioned? The implied direction of the harassment might not be what the OP was talking about, but it's certainly related to the topic.

As for the inflammatory bit, you might have a point there, but the kind of climate change that enabled humans to evolve might garner that fabled 97% of backing not only from scientists, but humanity in general. So in the proper context, climate change is good.
That's what I figured they would do with Motorola, especially with the move to Alphabet. On the other hand, if it's under another brand name people may not associate it with "first party". When the Nexus line came out, one of the big selling features was "Android straight from Google themselves". If it was from Motorola, it'd be "Android straight from Google themselves because Google owns Motorola so hopefully their internal corporate structure means the two divisions have a close working relationship otherwise what's the point".

I just don't understand why most people think Apple don't have a monopoly market position. Of course Apple is the monopoly on the App Service market ([1] App store generated 93 more revenue than google play in Q3). We are talking about app service rather than the phone units sold.

> For example, if stereotypical male/female attitudes and behaviors were found to have a substantial genetic component to them, I think a lot of socially progressive people would hate that.

I...disagree. I think you would find that most of the left takes as an article of faith (or, at least, a very strongly held belief) that gender identity and presentation (which necessarily includes stereotype-conforming as well as nonconforming identities and presentations) are very strongly genetically determined and that extreme distress results when people attempt (or are compelled) to mask what is genetically-determined in this area, and that that is fundamental to the belief that nonconforming identities and presentations should be accepted.

> There's a lot of emotional investment for many in the idea that stereotypically gendered behaviors are entirely or almost entirely caused by culture/social pressure.

There's a lot of emotional investment in the idea that the concept that there is a single acceptable relationship between external genitalia, gender identity, and gender presentation is a social construct, as well as in the necessary corollary that the particular relationship chosen in any particular culture that imposes such a single acceptable relationship is also a social construct. But that's intimately tied to the idea that each of those three things, while they may have some non-genetic contribution, is fairly strongly genetically directed, and while there may be some correlation between the genetic determinants of each, there is considerable individual variation, as well.
There is a jarring and confusing change in character between the paragraph above and below this comment. You went from a "this is optional" clause to a "you should stay away." Your narration injected this, and did so clumsily. Is this because you're citing two sources?

No. The character of the protest did explicitly change in this way.

What followed subsequently was a series of predictable escalations by the usual extremist subjects, with non-students from alt-right groups showing up in "support" and antifa showing up to "counter" them. Because Evergreen is essentially a small non-traditional state university, they were just not prepared for this scale of action and national attention.

It's easy to find the videos of the students holding the administration captive. Especially telling are the idiotic things they're yelling. It's easy to find the videos of the students confronting Bret Weinstein. Especially telling are the idiotic things those students are yelling.

The attempt to tie this to "suppression" of Weinstein's academic work is absurd

You're being needlessly specific, or not reading carefully. I mentioned "communicating with the public." In Weinstein's case, he started out communicating with colleagues. Effectively, he was "un-personed" with the protesting students used as muscle to make him and his wife feel unsafe. In Weinstein's case, there isn't suppression of academic work. In this case, it's the suppression of an academic.

There's one kind of person in history who goes around intimidating academics for holding reasonable opinions. (Or even correct ones, as in this case.) Those are the villains.

Wow... Spotify had an opportunity to make a good case and then threw it all away because they got greedy.

A company not providing you and API you want does not equate to them blocking you. FULL STOP.

Spotify had some decent arguments (re: 30%, IAP, payment) but it fell 100% flat when they started giving equal importance to things that were not targeted at them. The lack of music API's on homepod, watch, iPhone are not some direct slight against Spotify and to pretend they are only shows Spotify's inflated view of themselves. Put simply: NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU.

Spotify is twisting the truth to it's breaking point in this post with just enough truth sprinkled around that you might not notice the bullshit.

I was responding more so to the bundling of services rather than to the App Store specifically. Though, you could argue that the App Store and/or Apple Music are services that are bundled
the difference in memory usage is 1.7%, according to the article.
This was already technically possible, you could add a conditional breakpoint with a console log in the input and it wouldn't "break" because console.log returns undefined (false).
A similar argument could be made for the implementation of HTTPS a few years ago. The goal should be to empower trusted software to inform a user. In the case of HTTPS, that trusted software is your browser, in the case of signed emails, that trusted software is your email provider.
I think the problem is he wouldn't have recognized the behavior pattern that keys "runaway stabilizer trim" in the extra conditions over and above what is trained for a faulty MCAS activation would result in.

If you're not aware of something, it takes a non-trivial amount of time to break out of your trained response envelope and to start thinking outside the box.

This is a problem with many training heavy disciplines where the general response upon "hearing hoofbeats" is to think "horse", and only to escalate to the more exotic "Zebra" conclusion as facts demand it. While it's generally a better response, in time constrained situations without the benefit of foreknowledge, it can be quite costly indeed.
If it were just southern Ontario that would be one thing. Every flight from the US west coast to Europe spends half (from SEA) to a third (from SFO or LAX) of its flight time in Canadian airspace. However all such flights would likely already be affected due to the widespread European bans. I have no idea if any of those routes were served by 737 Max 8s.
Usually you tell a scientist they are wrong by doing better science.

Apple doesn’t always get 30%. You can buy iTunes gift cards 20% off. Amazon can take 90% by selling iTunes gift cards used to buy through App Store.

I have an install of Apollo for Spotify on my Apple Watch.

It streams Spotify directly without your phone and has a very flaky offline mode.

The developer tweeted that Spotify (not Apple) asked him to remove it four days after it reached the App Store.

I was lucky enough to get hold of it in that brief window and use it often.
By now its safe to assume that most pilot will know about this specific issue and know how to handle it. Well, except those Ethiopian pilot. I don't see reason to ban.

Disclaimer: Very unpopular opinion ahead.

I've never owned a smart phone. As far as I can tell, that has saved me a lot of hassle and mental capacity.

The only cost is that I am the only one that can see I am in the Twilight Zone. Everyone around me has their head buried in their phone. They can't function normally. They get stuck in the elevator and I have to let them know they have arrived. I can see about a .4 second thought penalty on those around me.

If I dare say anything negative about the precious device, I get slammed for it which is further proof it is an opiate addiction that has profound psychological implications.

My question to HN: If you find that you are the only one seeing that everyone around you has been subjugated by a device, what would you do?
None of that ensures you have message privacy. If you haven't verified the key, you have no assurance that the connection hasn't been MITM'd.

Calculator is interesting in that there is a physical button on (many) keyboards to open it. Ironically enough, I encountered a bug with the Windows 10 calculator that caused it to crash upon opening: the window would draw, then a second later vanish.

Turned out that it was due to something profile related: re-registering the Windows App Store fixed the issue. Yes, that's right, a dependency on the app store can prevent you from running Calculator.

Do Manually Your YouTube Video Marketing – FEMT Jobs
This particular part of the argument doesn't make a lot of sense to me, at least looking at the US pricing. Apple Music is $9.99 a month; Spotify Premium is $9.99 a month and includes Hulu. If not paying the IAP charge means Apple could "hugely undercut" Spotify, then shouldn't Apple Music be, well, cheaper? By at least 30%?

(N.B.: I'm not defending the specific 30% cut that Apple takes or any of their other demands, just going "hmm" at the bit you've quoted.)
Calling these people 'activists' seems a bit disingenuous, since they just appear to be harassers. They aren't respectful and dig into the personal lives of the researchers. Later in the article it's even mentioned they harass patients who got better with the proposed treatment. At some point you are just an asshole pretending to be a saviour.

That's a truism. You're kind of ignoring their point though, which was that the data existed and was readily available.

Internet forums may be "jumping to conclusion" but regulators have had this data for days, and didn't act on it. They only acted after regulators in Europe and elsewhere acted first.

But presenting the event in that way leads an informed reader to wonder if there is are other inaccuracies.

I'm sincerely hoping that people will look into different coverage of Evergreen. Really, it speaks for itself. Your description of "Antifa blocking" speaks to your bias. I know from personal experience that not all Antifa are toxic thugs who lack any philosophical basis apart from "might makes right." I also know from personal experience that many are, and it's very telling how those who wear those colors who know better don't call them out. I have no idea how an informed person could support them. The only thing they have going for them is that Nazis are worse than they are. As I mention above, many of them will even outright tell you that it's their guiding philosophy.

History has many examples of people trying to intimidate others politically. Some wear masks. Others think their special status shields them. Over time, we all know them as villains.

Edit: see comments below. My generalization is over broad. Maybe a fairer statement is that some forms of normalization lead to aliasing and sometimes you want that but sometimes not. So be aware of whether you want different strings to be treated the “same” or not.

My thought was that you can always test for sameness after the fact, but once you’ve normalized into storage, you can’t undo it.
