Exactly. I've seen many ridiculous stories, nonsense etc on HN which existed purely to fuel outrage among the more tech-oriented crowd.

Ultimately when people say they've dropped out of a specific news bubble: that means they've just started ignoring things that don't personally affect them or they don't care about. It's essentially as another commentator said meant that you're in favor of the status quo, which means you shouldn't be surprised if you encounter someone who is negatively affected by the status quo and calls you out on being OK with it.
Everyone who owns one of these devices has given express permission and must know. Its fine since they have told Amazon its fine

If so much mail is sent between the sponsoring organisations that the aggregate hit rate will be approximately 100%, then wouldn't approximately 100% of mail be sent over the TLS only port were the sponsoring organisations to decide to only use TLS among themselves (e.g. a hardcoded SMTPS everywhere list) ?

The point of an open standard is so that the vanishingly small fraction of people running their own mail servers can easily implement it too.
> However, it's against the leasing agreement (which is pretty firm) to remove / disable them.

I find that hard to believe. In fact, I can't imagine how it's not illegal. Or if it's not, how it can remain legal.
The light is emitted from an accretion disk, which does not envelope the entire sphere.
By this definition literally every interaction with the outside world is political. Is a definition that broad really useful?

When people talk about politics they’re almost always talking about interfacing with the government. Taking an Uber is definitely not a political statement in most people’s minds.
Half of it is "Why standard unix utilities rock".
New Yorker should thoroughly retract the discredited "very fine people" hoax before suggesting that we need "better news". Apologizing to Trump and to their readers would be a responsible thing to do as well.

The real question is: what training would you drop in order that the pilots get this alternate training? You can't just say, "train train train"; eventually the pilots have to actually fly.
No the purpose of Google Search is to facilitate selling Ads.
I don't think following the news is the only way to gain knowledge of the issues. Online discussion forums and books are two other options.
This is incorrect. If you read the original script of pilot conversation in the cockpit, you'd know that he simply forgot he was pulling back on the stick. He disregarded clear pilot training and did what he was exactly not supposed to do, I reckon out of nervousness. That flight, needed a better pilot. Period.
The original comment is referring to ridiculous laws that the EU has passed.

The law in question includes things like a link tax, which is pretty ridiculous, IMO, as is the copyright fines that they have.

The rest of your comment is merely a "the law is the law!" kind of justification.

Yes, the law is the law. And I gave reasons as for why these laws are ridiculous, as per the original comment.

I can recognize that a law exists, and also call it a horrible law, that deserves retaliation from the US.

I sincerely hope that the US and everyone else uses trade laws and tariffs to cause economic damage to the EU, specifically because of these horrible laws.

Fair is fair, yo. US trade tariffs are also the law, and are a good way punishing bad laws passed by other countries.

I think wrt NYT, the facts are all true but purpose should also clearly be a part of it. Imagine a headline which said "Trump kills man on White House lawn with Colt .45" and the man was attacking him with a machete.

When many (most?) people are aware of the prior tariff tirade by Trump and not everyone reads the meat of an article, I think it's irresponsible to not include the _why_.
I don’t think they’ve done a 180, I just think we understand (through experience) their tactics better now.

Yeah, this was written by AI.

So we should just never read any news again because someone wrote a click-bait article?

I don't know if you've been to a library...but they usually have newspapers.
Still, HN is an order of magnitude more thoughtful than the clowns at Fox/CNN/etc news. Just the fact that it is mostly text is one factor.
I think it would be better to have the mobile number as another way of logging in the website.

People generally have the mobile numbers handy, as compared to email ids, which we generally don't have, for acquaintances, or friends.

Plus, it would be easier to invite, share, etc. Good for adoption, I think.
Does Amazon clearly says that everything you say to Alexa will be recorded and reviewed by its employees? Or they prefer to hide this somewhere in the legal documents using vague wordings? That's what is wrong. They know that if they say about it explicitly, their product will look worse than competitors', so they try to hide it.
I didn't say people had "no interest in politics". I said people had "no interest in being informed or educated".

A large voter turnout indicates interest in politics.

A large voter turnout does not indicate interest in being informed or educated. I think it's pretty obvious. But just in case, here's an example:

- Voter turnout in the US Presidential Elections 1996-2016 : 53-64%.

- Voter turnout in German Federal Elections 1933: 88.7% (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_1933_German_federal_elec...).

I am sure you would not consider the electorate that chose the Nazis (giving them by far the largest share, 44%) to be more informed / educated than the modern US electorate.
I prefer to just use a content blocker to prevent the crap that slows down most sites from loading.

Fun fact, blocking the amp JS makes amp pages artificially slow because they hide everything in css by default.

A recording is end pointed audio captured and stored on a server and reviewed later.

The British Indian Oceans territory was never a country, and never had any citizens. There was no indigenous people. None of the former or current residents (hired workers) ever owned any of the land.
For better or worse, I expect the opposite will happen. Future generations simply will not have the same expectations and fears around privacy.

The modern Western conceptions of privacy are relatively anomalous from a historical perspective. There's nothing to stop them from changing again.
It's probably somewhat rare in industrialised democracies these days. Many trade deals limit subsidies (hence this WTO ruling). It is also difficult to give one-off subsidies in diversified markets, because (domestic) competitors would complain/sue.

The EU has especially stringent rules against this, making (for example) shenanigans such as Amazon's HQ2 race-to-the-bottom impossible. That's also what got Apple and Ireland into trouble. It's effectively a cartel of countries pooling power to counter multinationals' ability to offshore profits to the cheapest jurisdiction.

The are exemptions: The EU and US massively support agriculture with direct payments. Canada does the same with milk quotas. (These two systems are somewhat incompatible: allowing subsidised US milk to be sold for Canada's protected high prices would amount to double dipping. Hence some disagreements across that particular border).

Aircrafts are a rather special beast: there's a national security angle, they are objects of national pride, and both the EU and US have one large manufacturer. Airbus is also diversified across many EU countries, assuring them wide political support.
Lies. Europe obviously cares more about the rest of the world than they do about themselves.

Your tax dollars are going to prop up a failing company that is producing substandard products that have gotten people killed - I don't see how you could mentally position yourself to be alright with this.

The general idea of protectionism is less controversial - I think it is generally bad[1] due to the economic effects of it. But if you're in favor of protectionism you can check any claim you have to free-market economics or de-regulation for growth at the door, protectionism is basically the Ur-form of regulatory capture and state-capitalism so being pro-Boeing subsidies and then claiming that the US becoming "socialist" is terrible is just logically inconsistent.

[1] I'd leave the notable exception of when it's used to specifically stimulate economic sector growth - propping up a robotics company in TN to create a labour pool that enables other companies to grow out of the labour availability is a pretty good usage.
There are several problems with both of them.

(1) Most of Nassim Taleb’s math is more branding and showing off than actual science or statistics. It has been stated by people who are far smarter than Taleb that “if you can’t state it simply then you don’t understand it.” If Richard Feynman can explain physics in a relatable way, then taleb can talk about statistics in the same. He doesn’t because explaining is not his objective, personal branding is.

Taleb uses obscure, nonsensical math to show off and brow beat opponents. In my experience, working with people who are actually smart, this is not what very educated and intelligent people do.

The general public may fall for pictures of pages of obscure nonsensical calculations depicting god knows what, all I see is fraudulent personal marketing.

I say this having worked for and known CEOs who use the same tricks to lie to investors. It’s bullshit.

(2) Nate Silver runs a media opinion network. I followed his work and early on they did very rigorous analysis and had great and accurate visualizations which did seem to accurate predict results.

For whatever reason, I saw five thirty eight evolve into a bunch of media talking points and opinion mongering. The coverage on five thirty eight for the 2016 election resembled strongly that of standard news networks.

Why? Because if you want to make money on advertising you need to completely fill the airwaves with as much content as possible and opinion content is the cheapest and easiest to produce.

My opinion is that Nate slipped. His data analysis got distracted by running a media business, which focuses on advertising revenue and being likable by target demographics.

Frankly I don’t trust either of them. I also side more strongly with Taleb - predicting outcomes with random hidden variables is an exercise in chicanery.

No one wants to hear that the universe is random and that predicting it is impossible for long stretches of time. Look at the comments here, 90% of people (probably programmers) think that if they can just find the right equations then predicting the future is possible.

Nope.
I'll pay you $15 to use my free software
My first post didn't get as much attention as I'd like so I wanted to up the ante.

I lost trust in online budgeting services keeping my information safe, so I took this opportunity into my own hands and am writing free, open-source budgeting software with Electron. All of the information is stored locally on the file system, encrypted at-rest. I'm writing this software to use it myself, and want to share it with others because I feel everyone deserves tools to manage their finances.

The problem I am having is spreading the word, so I'd like to do something that's unheard of - pay you! Yes, pay you. I'd like to pay you a $15 amazon gift card to use my software (or at least test it). All you have to do is download the mac/win application at my github repo below, and after you've used it or tested it, send me (zachary) a slack message of your email and I can send the gift card over! The link to the slack is on the github page. (I don't have infinite money, but I hope to give away $100-$200 at the very least).

Thanks all - I appreciate you!
+1 for "tranform calories into money," it brought me a small chuckle.
I don't think that is a given. If you put the consumption tax only on luxury goods it could be progressive. I doubt the poor are buying Rolex watches and if they are taxes aren't the problem.
That was not an easy journey. The resilience to see it all through is certainly admirable.

I can't see why that made you more conservative though.

Is it a sense of wanting to keep every ounce of legitimately hard earned wealth, that would be used to make life easier for others in the work force, when you never got any support ?

Or do you mean it in a sense, where you work your way through the system, feel that the system isn't that bad and that others can similarly work their way through it without needing any extra support ?

I hope it does not come off as confrontational. I am genuinely curious.
That was my exact first thought. Well, I dunno if it was intended to be a clickbait of sorts, but it sure worked.

Cause that first title would have not made me click the story.
Can you explain your tax planning situation around the individual mandate? Like, did you, as a low income hacker news reader, read something on the news that you used to save money when filing your own taxes?

AMP is google flexing its control over the web.

If Google wanted to highlight fast/penalise slow sites, they could simply measure the load time of a site when they index it.

But that would only achieve their stated goals, it wouldn’t achieve their actual goals.
Depends on what you tax. A high tariff on imported caviar or luxury sedans isn’t going to impact Joe Sixpack.

This could work as a short film as most of these human labor arbitrage opportunities exist in emerging economies where they're considered "good" jobs. Such as the Philippines, or Eastern Europe.

That presumes that Trump and his disastrous trade-war has actually accomplished anything. It seems to me that China just gave him some window-dressing he can use to try to save face. I don't think China needs forced tech-transfers anymore, for one example. An easy shiny thing to present to someone with a limited analytical mind.
Thanks, I hadn't thought of that, but it makes perfect sense!

Good companies will often let early employees cash out in whole or in part with a "Tender Offer". https://carta.com/blog/tender-offer-faq/

This can benefit the founders and major investors, because they take less dilution.

Personally, I think founders should do this any time they take money off the table.

I disagree. News != politics. In fact, if I replace the "status quo" in your statement with "reality", the meaning will change significantly. I don't need a journalist to tell me that the healthcare situation (to pick an example) is absurd, or that taxation (fed+state) in some states is already at European levels, yet without any healthcare or education benefits. It's easy to be aware of these facts, you just have to be alive.

But I also don't need journalists to be brain-washing people by suggesting different ways of sharing the costs (insurance? single payer? have rich people pay for me?). The real solution is, of course, to lower the cost to the levels comparable to EU countries, but the costs are rarely discussed in the mass media, only cost sharing is brought up. Why? Because it's an unpopular solution among people who set the agenda. Fixing health care (i.e. halving its cost _at the very least_) means dropping US GDP by a whopping 9% [1].

So it's not about slow vs fast news. It's about controlling the public discourse. The old system of setting the national agenda [2] is obviously not working well if a populist with a Twitter account can override the MSM narrative and get himself elected.

I'm not Google, but the reason is obvious to anyone who understands AMP. Only AMP can be guaranteed safe to preload through static analysis, and a carousel lets the search results page figure out which pages to preload trivially (the results currently visible in the the carousel).

Interestingly enough I bought this what I thought was a scam/sham/illegitimately represented product from Bas Rutten (the O2 Trainer) awhile ago on a lark. It seems like it actually has some merit (at least the idea, most likely not the product).
Because IE6, Outlook-Web/Hotmail and Windows Mobile were so much better, right? I understand your POV, but this has nothing to do with Google specifically. Nothing has changed structurally since 10 years ago, the game is the same as it always was. The Internet will detect damage and route around it, as usual.

1984 specifically has not aged well to the point of its predictions becoming both trite and easily dismissible in a corporate setting. Its sort of exaggerated misery and book burning was so on-the-nose that society of course knee-jerk rejects anything associated with it. I think the lesser understood brother, A Brave New World, better illustrated how we arrived at these forms of control because we prefer them in the pursuit of happiness. Its this difficult trade-off which is inherently post-capitalistic, convenience for control, that we seem to not have a clear way to have a dialog around.

> It needs to be pointed out that this is an option that originates from privilege.

I don't know if this is what you intended, but I'm reading this as "many or most people who ignore the news are privileged". For instance, this would include many people who are at a 7th grade reading level.

I'm... not sure that's what you meant to insinuate though. Could you clarify?
Crucial difference here: the business chose to use the name of the extant location. The name of the region derives from that of the river, which was named by an external group, without input from the local populous (unless you count attacking a Spanish expedition as "input").

That's not great for those of us who like to use Fastmail's anything@user.example.com feature.

This specification also doesn't work well for those who run their own SMTP servers and who are less likely to have cached policies. Meanwhile, the big email providers could hard-code a list of the other big email providers and never downgrade when talking to them (as I imagine they already do).
