I agree that the adapter pattern is great; however, getting a library to the state where it can be adapted requires either forethought or later refactoring. If this is done too early in the life of the project, the creator runs the risk of optimizing a bit prematurely.
You can't think of any reason why someone might not want everyone they know to be aware of what they're searching for?

Do you think someone's who's been sexually assaulted and tried to search for resources online would like their coworkers to find out about it? Do you think someone with HIV, or depression, wants everyone in the world to know? What if someone is in an abusive relationship and they reach out for help online and their abuser finds out before they can safely get out? What if you have some teenager who's homosexual or atheist in a conservative religious community and people find out through their search history - they could be killed, or cut off from their family.

I could go on and on. At some point in their life almost everyone is going to run into something that they need to educate themselves about and that they don't want the whole world to know about. What's your suggestion, that they go to a library and try to check out a book about it?
It sort of is a reason to use it more often though, no? If ordinary people start using the protocol, it helps to obscure the activity of journalists or other targeted groups.
Apple’s coverage is spotty; quite good in many major cities and certain less urban environments, but there are vast areas where its coverage is pretty sketchy.

Like you I mostly use it in areas of good coverage and think it’s great. But some places I’m SOL and have to switch to google as a fallback.
That phone is not a product. It’s a prototype at best.

Once again, imagine Apple releasing this.
Are chinese really cheap labor though? Their tech companies are quickly eclipsing that of western companies.

I don't think it's fair to say it's just a cheap labor thing.
I also don't read most articles posted on HN, although I voraciously read the comments. And that's because the comments are better and more interesting than the articles in most cases.
That may be the case. My trips have mostly been around the west coast high density areas.

Yes, and cash is irreversible too. A large part of the world still runs on cash and it works just fine.

Chargeback rates vary a lot by country too so this is not as much of a problem everywhere. And with 3-D Secure authentication it's already much harder to get your money back.
Expensive toys also have an exceptionally short life for 99% of them. There will be the three or four chosen, and the rest becomes garbage.

Buying cheap crap from the start is just an optimisation of the process.
It's the one store/retailer I didn't find interesting at all while visiting Japan.

I have to confess that, in small doses (so as not to lose my sanity), I sort of enjoy the all-sorts-of-random-crap stores. I could spend unhealthy amounts of my time in those 100 Yen stores (or whatever they are called, I might be misremembering their names).

But Don Quijote was just garish and uncomfortable. It was even difficult to walk the aisles. Everything about it screamed to me "get out of here fast!". I can't understand how it is successful.

PS: while on the subject of these crap/budget stores, can someone from the US tell me if my hunch is right about the following? While visiting the US I discovered those Five Below stores (everything between $1 and $5) and I think I figured their trick: while the advertised price range is true, this doesn't mean what they sell is actually cheap! For example, I'm pretty sure I saw Hot Wheels cars at about $3 when everywhere else the same toys were near $1. Am I missing something?

Many people. And anecdotally it helps many people for very long periods (40-60 years daily) of time to sleep like a rock. But I think there is a difference between 'a night cap before sleep' or plonking down a few glasses of Scotch in the evening. The side effects the article mentions are really not triggered, for casual drinkers anyway, by a little shot before sleep. Unless you were drinking before that (at dinner for instance), but that's not a fair comparison against what the 'myth' says.
There can also be spam servers that publish blacklists like with emails
I think a good analogy is that a musician requires high technical skill, but also needs to create art. Playing scales is not making art.

The best pianists all have great technical ability, but it's their ability to communicate their musical feelings and explore the music that makes them great. Being a pianist that can play all the scales perfectly is not well-regarded a a musician.

Technical skills are still a requirement. Let's not kid ourselves.

That's just because tea drinking is currently socially acceptable. As examples, in a western context: what if it wasn't tea bags but used condoms? In a middle-eastern context: empty beer bottles?

Worse, you can't predict what will happen to society and its rules, up to the point of "normal" stuff becoming illegal. Take as an example the (new) laws on pornography in the UK. What if have an under-18s minor in your house and your trashbags are full of pornmags?

In my probably even more humble opinion, due to the fact I'm merly a novice NLP researcher, I think you are spot on. I've been experimenting with layering two models on top of each other, one using the utmost banal character based token embedding (bags-of-characters) with clustering, the other using embeddings as wide as there are clusters, and found that even though the tokens "apple" and "elppa" count as one and the same, the context of how the individual tokens are used together is enough for very precisely localizing the right cluster of documents. It seems context is more important than the individual words are. There is also this curious fact that humans have no trouble at all decoding tokens even tough teh the characters have been displaced, which seems to support the idea that a model as trivial (and easy to compute on) as bags of characters is indeed a valid one.
Apparently Facebook is claiming that the functionality came from a separate "import contacts" feature that used to exist. But I agree; the idea that the import logic could have slipped into the login process accidentally is ludicrous. Or at least it indicates an outrageous lack of care on Facebook's part.
I forwarded this comment to Phil.
So, your argument is "someone might break into the bank".

How does that work? Why license to a small company instead of selling yourself?

Also, how are people aware of these small pharmaceutical companies and future breakthroughs like this without insider trading? Meaning, some people profited handsomely on this deal, how did they make it happen if not luck or insider trading?
Personally, I doubt whether many Cold War-era missiles would still work. I mean, most materials degrade over time, especially highly reactive rocket fuels and the explosives in the nukes. This is no reason to feel safe though - the newer stuff and the gadgets of the Chinese are in prime condition. And it takes only one of them to open up a whole new chapter of history...

Now that privacy is gone, I'm surprised that we haven't seen this technology used to unfortunately tarnish people's reputations. I don't want to quite spell it out.

I fear that scandals could retroactively breakout: you're no longer safe from your past. Old public recordings could be used to frame nearly anyone in unfavorable light.
"Yes, if the tsunami had not occurred, the Fukushima reactor would not have a problem. But that’s facile. If a wind or solar farm had been where the reactor is, it would have been destroyed and the loss would have been trivial in comparison."

Also facile: stating that a wind or solar farm the size of Fukushima could have stood in for a nuclear power plant and generate anywhere close to the amount of electricity needed to meet the demands of a small island home to one of the most populous cities in the world.

Also facile: "They should have known better because tsunamis were frequent near Fukushima." It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded to hit Japan. Tsunami walls across the entire country were completely overwhelmed.

This article is insulting.
I think this is the official announcement by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association:

The gist is this (from Boing Boing's article):

"“You can argue that you consent when you put Alexa in your home or connect your electronics to your online accounts,” Michael Bryant, executive director of the CCLA, told me over the phone. “It’s another thing to say you consent when you walk from one block in Toronto to the next.”"
> This release features a refreshed visual style ranging from an entirely new set of app icons to improvements to the user interface style. Many of the base style colors have been saturated, giving them a more vivid, vibrant appearance. Buttons are more rounded and have a softer “shadow” border. Switches no longer use the explicit ON and OFF text, instead using color to indicate state.
I would have tried to explore that option before leaving completely. I know two professors who have switched fields, one was physics professor who did work in string theory, switched to genomics and got position at a medical school. Another was a CS professor who actually went in to math.

You sometimes see CS professors who have degrees in pure math just browsing different department's websites.
This makes me feel good about my life's goal of starting a parody store of Linens 'n Things called Batteries and Shit that just sells random crap that doesn't really go together.
Although I appreciate the effort that has gone into and continues to go into OpenStreetMap the reality is that their data set is still pretty poor in comparison to Google Maps. I would not want to create a delivery business that depended upon it for success.

Just last month I found myself in need of a source of map data for a personal use application and thought of OpenStreetMap which led me to looking up my home address. Unfortunately I couldn't find my address by searching, so I zoomed in on my neighborhood. About 50% of the street names in my neighborhood were incorrect, so I spent time correcting them. The last time I had visited OpenStreetMap was about 4 years prior. On that visit about 1/3rd of the streets in my then neighborhood didn't appear.
I did just that and enjoyed the heck out of it. I found game theory to be fascinating from the perspective of a computer science student. I even managed to find a cross over grad class about using computational hardness to compare and prevent attacks on election systems.
The ELI5 I always tend to fall back on is the example of the Dutch Jewry. The tale goes that The Netherlands had a beautiful list of all its citizens, their names, addresses and their religious statusses neatly tucked away in a locked filing cabinet behind a locked door in the town hall.

Come 1940 the Nazis had a beautiful "leaked database" to use as a reference.
Indeed. Sorry about that. It was a typo and I didn’t even notice, pretty sure I’m well outside the edit window as well.

So what harm have all these privacy invasions caused? Frankly, I think they make me better off.

- Google or YouTube search history helps show me more relevant search results. Ditto for Chrome browser history.

- Google Android's location tracking means I can look back at my timeline and see where I've been on any day. I can see which countries and cities and restaurants I've been to. That's neat, kind of like an automatic diary.

- Facebook keeps track of my likes and interests and shows posts and ads that are more relevant to me. How is that worse than getting generic posts and ads?

The only bad effects I can think of are if Google or Facebook starts leaking all my data, and it being personally identifiable. Luckily, as a profit-seeking company, they have tremendous incentive not to do this (especially with so many privacy obsessed people keeping them honest).
You can choose to have less insurance hassle by choosing a more expensive insurance plan where you don't haggle for the deductible.
> I'm not saying you should abandon decentralisation efforts if that's your thing [...]

Isn't not being controlled by the whim of a single corporation/government everyone's thing? Or the ability to be your own free person whose actions are not thwarted by a petty desire or ulterior motive?

Of course, in times of relative stability, people are sometimes lulled into thinking this is not and cannot be compromised in any way.

> Censorship resistance is not seen as a universal good.

Of course, it's a deep and fundamental issue. There are bound to be proponents of both sides with a lot of people in between.

I argue that inability to destroy abhorrent stuff is likewise not universally viewed as the ultimate evil, though.

> The criticism is usually that not enough was done to police the harassment.

You elided the rest of my argument so I'll repeat it rephrased: I think the current design of the system, where there is a very public single point-of-"failure" that is very easy to hate (big corporation) makes this more prominent.

There is abhorrent stuff printed on paper all around the world, but you don't see people claiming that not enough was done to seek out and destroy every such piece of paper. It is apparently enough to people that such paper is not very prominent in day-to-day situations.

Only that insurance takes 3 weeks to process the claim. Delaying care 3 weeks for that guarantee would have caustic medical implications.

The concern is not the act of reading, but rather the additional exposure to light suppressing melatonin production.

Melatonin plays an important role in the sleep/wake cycle.

Avoiding unnecessary light for a period of 3 hours prior to sleep gives the body a chance to run it's shutdown scripts by producing enough melatonin, etc.

Documenting Breaches with H Diagrams
Johanna Rhodes, an infectious disease specialist at Imperial College London, told the New York Times: "We are driving [the spread of antifungal-resistant organisms] with the use of fungicides on crops." The Times also cited a theory from Tom Chiller, head of the CDC's fungal branch, that C. auris has become increasingly prevalent as the widespread use of azole fungicides has killed off other fungi on crops.

So ... let's suppose I care about slowing the development of drug-resistant fungi. As an individual, what can I do?

I basically buy into the claim that widespread overuse of antibiotic drugs in humans has caused an increase of multi-drug-resistant bacteria and I'm generally on board with limiting my own use of antibiotics (e.g. not asking a physician for an antibiotic prescription for a minor illness that is most likely viral). I'm not so sure I understand the literature on antibiotic use in livestock and I happily eat meat without thinking about what drugs the animals were given.

What should I do with respect to azole fungicides and my grocery-shopping decisions? I don't currently see strong evidence that buying food marked "organic" is better for health or the environment, but should this new-to-the-public-consciousness information about azole fungicide use in crops change my mind? Should I be trying to buy crops which were not made with the use of azole fungicides? What kind IS that -- are those fungicides on the permitted/proscribed list for things that carry the marketing label "organic" in the grocery store, and do certain farming practices end up using a lot more of this apparently irresponsible pesticide versus certain other practices?

I took a cursory look at this for about half an hour and could not figure it out, even after trying to understand primary-source literature from the past few years about C. auris and USDA rules. I also can't even tell if individual consumer-level actions make a difference, or if it's not worth trying.

Admittedly science reporting is really tough but it's a little surprising that nothing in the literature I could readily find clearly suggests what researchers think consumers should do differently (if anything).

If you have a M4A, you have less choices not more.

I'm confused by the premise of your question. Are under the impression that it's possible for a law enforcement tool to have zero false positives?

Nothing has ever had nor will ever have zero chance of false positives. Even DNA evidence can have false positives. Law enforcement, the justice system, and society overall has always had and will always have (highly imperfect) mechanisms to deal with nonzero false positive rates.

Therefore, it is of course important that the false positive rate not be higher than average for a subgroup, as they will be disproportionately affected, since our systems will be set up to deal with the lower average false positive rate.
I visited a Don Quijote for my first night in Japan. I went for a stroll at 3am as I was jetlagged. I stumbled upon one Don Quijote. The music was playing very loud among the empty aisles. I stayed there for a while, completely bemused by the sheer level of noise and lighting.
Why do you think that it's doing so?

From what I've seen, I gather that CDC is getting pressure from lobbyists for hospitals and nursing homes. Directly, and indirectly through the federal government and states.
Check fb stock price, it will tell you investors have short term memory.

The only myth is thinking that outages don't happen. If you look at actual reliability normalized over time, usage and service scale, Google is far better than what any small organization can do.

It only seems like your organization can do better because you're nowhere near the same requirements. Whether this is a valid trade-off by taking on more risk and operational overhead is a judgement call but it rarely works out unless it's a business-critical service that you must control and can afford the resources to do so.

Ads are a lazy way to make money. It works for FB & Google because they can focus all efforts on making the best product. But this was an era before ad blockers.

Ads pay badly and also significantly drop user experience if done to a certain extent.

When we did a recipe app, it was a conscious decision not to use ads. If we had recipes, the only fitting ads are food related, not dating related, not car related. Anything other than food would be dishonest to advertise.

So instead of advertising food, we skipped the middle man and sold ingredients directly. As we had a niche (keto recipes), the sold product was also a niche of keto alternative ingredients.

My partner later did a different startup, focusing on a football blog. They tried ads, but it was terrible; made about $300 for millions of pageviews. Sponsored articles, e.g. for football injuries recommending a product, would pay several times more. This is also advertising but more precise, and gave the sponsor a huge SEO boost for exactly the thing they were selling. The company eventually landed a deal with a sports supplier which made up a big portion of their revenue.

Huh? Isn't Menn's Reuters article the one that broke that news?

I'd also question how much the public interest would be damaged if that information hadn't come to light.
