IMO the premise "everyone needs to work in a corp" is already wrong.

The question should be what do so everyone can live a good life. Maybe some want to work to have a good live, others not. The next question would then be if and how a society can afford the individual live styles.

Lets discuss in a more philosophic, post-capitalistic way.

Is there a lesson here somewhere? Between Musk, Trump, and everything else I read, it seems like public insanity is a winning strategy.

This is the view of a US person: These are private owned and operated web sites. The site owner determines what is "essential." If you do not agree to to the terms, do not use the site. If you don't want to be tracked for advertising, that's on you to install ad blockers.
The joke is that this is a browser setting. Its just set to "Always accept without asking" by default.
How does a national health care system (say such as Canada or UK) encroach on personal freedom? (Short of say the obvious...increased taxes for you.)

I've found a lot of "opponents" of universal healthcare actually support a safety net for less fortunate people - they just don't want to pay for it. This is a perfectly valid reason, but I wouldn't call it encroaching on personal freedom, so I'm curious as to how else you see it affecting liberty?
Why was a safety critical system (which was really only needed to place a bandied on retrofitting bigger motors on an older frame design) being sold as an "optional package". You need at least 3 redundant sensors in any safety critical system. This is just basic rocket science. Boeing and the FAA are negligent and should not be trusted.
Deepstream.live, sounded like it was neat, unfortunately, seems to now be down. The same poster also posted about webautomation.guru: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18951821 titled "Show HN: Use Chrome Headless in the Cloud from the Browser", similar to mine, but it too is down for me. Looked a lot more advanced than cloudbrowser.website, though!

These remote browser services seem to be difficult to keep running... (expensive if not profitable, I assume. My VPS is good for a few more weeks.)
Similarly, how many different options are available for similar classes of items found at Costco?

Say, frozen chicken, napkins, instant noodles, paper cups, etc. In some cases there is only 1 option offered, sometimes 2, rarely are there ever more than 4 options offered at Costco for a single type of item. When you trust that you are being offered the best choice or a top choice, well, we know what happens at Costco. People buy pallets in that warehouse.
Trump certainly wouldn't have been the only person to end up owning an airline that was more the money than the brains behind the operation...

Based on transcripts of him talking to airline industry executives[1] in the past, I'd say he actually knows less than nothing: i.e. he doesn't know what he doesn't know, much like the pointy haired guy who's too insistent he wants you to get the robots that write the computer programs to make a blockchain for cybersecurity to read your explanation of the bug.

> Whistleblower protection laws generally do not require that the "appropriate regulatory agency" be the only person to whom disclosure is made...

Whistleblower protection laws in some cases don't even exist and even where they do you're typically not going to have a fun time if you have to use them. When it comes down to it you do what you've got to do, but going there first rather than last is not a really great idea.

> No, that's usually the first and best option once the company has been made aware of the problem and chooses not to correct it...as is what is alleged happened here. Why make vague statements that Company X ignored Problem Y when you can just provide documents proving your claims?

For one thing, documents rarely prove anything on their own (how do you even know they're not forgeries?) without the investigatory powers needed to verify the information in them. Which the government has and Twitter doesn't.

Statistically we've become more stationary.

"Back in the late 1940s, when the Census Bureau started collecting this type of information, roughly 20% of the population moved in a given year, Ihrke referenced. Since then, the rate has fallen to between 11.5% and 12.5%."

> Freckles almost certainly has additional stressors in his life, since he maintains his scholarship(s), works outside of class, frets over his student loans, and has to be careful how he spends what little cash he has.

Right. But that's part of the point, is it not? Those factors were almost a non-issue for me in Germany. Having no tuition, I had to work part-time to pay for rent, food, and recreational activities, but that wasn't nearly stressful or time consuming enough to impact my studies (or even my social life).

As such, "student loans" are also not really a thing in Germany. I did take a loan of a few thousand Euros towards the end of my studies, in order to be able to focus on my degree without a job and still have a roof over my head, but I was able to repay all of it very quickly as soon as I entered the workforce.

Meaning, those disadvantages for non-affluent people at ivy league universities are entirely self-created, and very likely have the net effect of promoting students who are innately worse but financially better off to success.
While I agree that the percentage that Apple takes per sale is too high, I completely disagree with the term 'vendor Tax'. While it's fine as a fun synonym, it's problematic as soon as people start to think about it as an actual Tax. It's not a Tax, it's the amount of money the vendor/platform owner wants to make for every sale. You can opt-out (by not being on the platform, still a choice!) if you want to. But because it's bad for the bottom-line of most companies to do so, they position themselves as a sad little broken bird that gets stomped around by the big bad corp. Newsflash: they all are generic money making capitalistic institutions that on the business side exclusively exist to make money. For profit. For doing things, any thing, to make money. That goes for Spotify and Apple just the same.

On the side of 'level playing field' they do of course still have a point, just like all the anti-trust stuff we had/have with Microsoft and Google. It does make me wonder a bit why this hasn't been involving other companies like Amazon and Facebook. (or, why it hasn't been suggested as widely as it is now)

I do wonder about the technical aspect of those store denials and watchOS problems; other streaming services do not face the same issues/pressue, so what makes spotify so special? They app is a bit crappy (it's not very good at maintaining/restoring state and doesn't have the most consistent UI), but other than that, it doesn't do much different things when compared to others (like Deezer or Tidal). Putting it as a "Apple Music vs. Spotify" thing is a bit weird too; while it might make sense, it doesn't make sense if it's just that and all the other streaming and buying services are free to do what they want. It's weird stuff.
Except it's shitty for the lack of capitalism.

It just seems completely unproductive, people can't affect any kind of change when they're scheduling it between watching the football and eating big macs.

Set game-changing goals like promising a self-driving car without LIDAR or other technology every year for the last three? I feel like every single Elon Musk "game-changing goal" is met with severe criticism by many of the engineers working in the field and setting their heads down to get things done.
Definitely! If you take the fatalities for the last ten years and convert that to a risk estimate, the result will have gigantic error bars. We can be confident that the real risk is greater than zero, and it's pretty clear that it's small, but the exact number is pretty much impossible to know.

The farther back you look, the less noise you get in your data, but you also incorporate data that's less and less relevant to the current environment. Ten years seems like a decent cutoff, although it is a cutoff that happens to have had a wild swing recently.

My original point still stands if you want to take the data back a bit further: even if you include Colgan, the resulting number is way below the 117 per billion listed on that Wikipedia page.

If you have a large dataset and you train your data accuracy till 100%, what about the noisy data? Will this classification system will reduce the noisy values in the system? Machines during training or runtime prediction do have some amount of noises. Can we reduce those through this classification?
I disagree with a number of premises stated in the article:

> it essentially boils down to "take this cookie or no access for you"

This is something GDPR explicitly bans. "Consent" obtained this way is invalid; the site doesn't even have to bother asking at that point.

> To continue chucking up cookie warnings to everyone and somehow expecting them to make an informed decision about the risks they present? 99% of people are going to click through them anyway

No, sites don't have to chuck up cookie warnings. If the cookie warnings were actually compliant, i.e. didn't try to hide the "no" option behind several clicks, there would be very little incentive for the user to say yes, because "no" means the warning goes away just as well, plus the user doesn't get tracked.

Of course, the sites realize that, and are setting up non-compliant "consent" dialogs that try to trick or pressure the user into "consenting". The solution to that is to prosecute the ones that do that until they stop. (I bet many of the sites set and use tracking cookies even before you close the dialog.)

At that point, the sites can choose whether they want to annoy users or not, but since a large part of the users will click "no" at that point (since the sites can't really provide an incentive to click yes), they might as well stop using the trackers.

And sites using cookies for functionality the user actually wants don't have to ask for consent for those cookies. If the site asks, it's because it wants to track you, and you have no reason to agree.
He didn't.
Nah, PRISM referred to the front door for lawful access to customer records under warrant. That's the sort of portal that China once hacked Gmail by gaining access to.. the companies explicitly built those access relays.

The beam splitter stuff (e.g. Room 641A) went by different codenames, TRAFFICTHIEF and TURMOIL iirc. That's the back door.

Learning is a continuous and long-term process, so it's important to have that source of motivation and inspiration to propel you through the routine. Lots of routine! Not unlike coding in that sense.

If Monet and Hopper is what fuels currently your interest, then just go for it! Pick a work that draws you the most and set it as goal to copy it.

It's a most intimate and rewarding way to connect with your favorite artist! You'd naturally discover and learn tons of stuff both about the artist and techniques.

I'd opt to use just pencil at first, just to get the feeling of the lines, shapes, and flow of the curves/angles. Pencil is the most readily available medium, you likely already have some basic ability to draw lines ( straw man drawings are still drawings!).

To make this 'organized', I'd buy a simple sketchbook, that you'd carry with you, ready for use any moment you'd get time and drive to draw.

Next, very soon, you could explore the color layer by using .... a box of Crayola pencils. Cheap, portable, Real! Same art work now with adding color, strokes too.

Your sketchbook is your diary, good for notes and questions too!

At some point trying out paints becomes just a choice of medium. Keep your motivation burning - the artists you like are excellent guides. But instructors are here for that exact reason to answer your call and help unblock your progress.
Boiling in your own juices too long could get you over-cooked :)

And, hey, your sketchbook is your passport on this fun journey! Profitez bien!
Why would you deliberately skew the text block like they did? The page reads like a printout from a busted printer.

Definitely not the worst weird hipster web-design I've seen, but it just invokes an uncomfortable feeling of something being broken or off. Not a good thing for a product announcement.
Building performant UIs has become a lost art across the entire industry. As a junior engineer I was given a hard time if any screen did not load in 250ms saying that was the cliff beyond which humans perceive things as slow.

It's almost as if the GDPR were less a carefully designed way to increase the degree of freedom individuals experience while perusing the web, and more an expensive and highly visible way to demonstrate that EU functionaries are Doing Something About Scary Technology Companies. I mean, obviously, it's totally not that at all, of course but it's almost as if it were.
It sounds to me not just a software issue but a systems issue where software, hardware and architecture play a role. What used to be a sensor to measure the angle of attack became suddenly key input, single source in a short term control loop for the most vital axis. What could go wrong...

Taking into account the other sensor data is an obvious choice. A better understanding the quality of the sensor data in real field operation may also be required. Clearer stabilization problem indication, quicker manual disengage of auto pilot (several reports of nose down events) and MCAS are others. Decreasing the allowed tail trim for MCAS is another.

Then that leaves: Another one or two sensors. Independent review of the engine control laws (report of unexpected low thrust when climbing).

There is a lot to be done. The plane was rolled out too early and fixing the cut corners for real could take a while.
In The Netherlands the Data Protection Authority announced this month that websites are no longer allowed to block access when people click "NO" in the cookie warning;

Clicking 'no' should still allow people to view the website, but without placing any tracking cookies.

There's a lot of things I like and are consumer-friendly about the App Store, mainly around privacy and security. But the "Apple tax" is absolutely where it veers into a level of concentrated power that concerns antitrust law.

Yes, I get that you can switch to Android and Apple doesn't have an actual monopoly. They still wield a lot of power to force this 30% tax down everyone's throats. Specifically it's the power of "bundling" which is a potential antitrust violation.[1]

The implied reasoning behind Apple's restrictions on bypassing the tax is to ensure a positive customer experience. By selling things through Apple they take on the role of an intermediary merchant that can do things like refunds and otherwise ensure a positive, trustworthy customer experience.

But we need only look at the Mac App Store to get an idea of how much consumers truly value this value-add. On that platform, vendors and consumers have the freedom to directly interact, while Apple has still enacted a pretty good level of privacy and security protections (through revokable developer certificates and sandboxing). Many simply bypass the store. And the tax there would make even less sense for strictly ongoing content subscriptions that pose no additional security or privacy threat.

Yeah, but whether the hit is permanent or long lasting is still up in the air (unlike the 737 Max 8). On the one hand this could just turn out to be a coincidence or an easily fixed issue and Boeing's stock will rebound quickly. Or it could mean a massive recall of this model which will hurt Boeing for years to come. The current price is a reflection of this uncertainty and it could go either way.
That site relies on user reports.

I strongly suspect users are reporting "my Internet is having troubles" because their FB, Messenger, etc. isn't working right.

For example, in the comments of the T-Mobile outage page, there's stuff like "Haven't been able to upload anything to social media all day" and "Cannot send pictures through whatsapp and fb messenger".
I think it must be. I use uMatrix which essentially does this, except it doesn't use popup requests - if you want cookies, just make a few clicks.
Legally, you haven't consented. They're of course tracking you anyways because they're too lazy/greedy to implement it properly, so you should use the usual security measures (adblocker, PrivacyBadger), but they're breaking the law.

It's just that there's too many people doing that for the overloaded DPAs to take care of them all.
What happened when automation came for farmers' jobs? They went to work in factories. The result was that we had at least as much food as before, but we also had cars and refrigerators and washing machines.

Don't think of jobs as employing people. Think instead of society spending people on jobs. When we didn't have to spend a third of our people on growing food, we were able to spend them on manufacturing, and society was better off. If we don't have to spend as many on manufacturing, we're able to spend more of them on computer programming, and society is better off. If we can automate less-valuable work, we can spend our people on more valuable work.

For any individual person without a job, this isn't necessarily a good deal. "You lost the thing you knew how to do, now you have to go learn how to do something harder." That's uncomfortable. We as a society need to do better at helping them learn the next thing.

But the concern seems to be that we're going to run out of "next things". What if there's no work to be done? I don't think we're close to getting there. It's like the farmer wondering what will happen when the factories have produced a car for everyone, and so there's no need for factory workers any more - not knowing that factories are going to produce more than cars, and that factory work isn't the final stage of the economy.

>It's not something that would happen in the US or any other first world country.

As long as humans are involved, human error is involved too, especially with a new system. This could happen anywhere.
> That should be covered by the one time fee that developers pay to Apple in order to publish apps into the App Store.

That seems quite unrealistic. Apple certainly has recurring costs to keep the app store running. Taking a one time publishing fee wouldn't be sustainable long term.

Interesting point in general, but...

What I asked was what is the effect of sporadic interruptions of few hours. I mean, if Facebook had 30% availability, would I lose anything valuable from the experience? Is it that we are just used to it and and want it to be there always?

The value of 99.5 availability fore __users__ is not clear to me. Instant messaging is exception for this.

Well, that's what a whistleblower does, isn't it?

How would a whistleblower reveal that a company is doing questionable things without leaking information?
This seems to be a distinction without a difference given how American politics works. You don’t need net positive approval to get elected, as evidenced by Trump’s current position as President. For this reason, it makes more sense in this context to say Trump does have positive approval from 4 in 10 Americans and the claim that “the world / media / etc” are wholly biased against him no matter what doesn’t hold water.
I will say though, being successful in us schools was the precursor to Apple dominance. I'm not saying cause and effect but...
people would just begin to ignore those too, like they ignore app permission grants
That doesn’t make sense.

Who cares if the Spotify apps for Android/iOS are coded differently ? It’s irrelevant. Users have access to the same app on both platforms with the same functionality. And Apple is not stopping these users from moving to Android.

And yes Apple has a monopoly on their products. So does every company.
YouTube at least was already well on in that direction - Google had a competing product that was a total flop, and only afterwards did they buy YouTube.
