This is not at all abnormal behavior. I'm kind of amazed consistently by the lack of awareness of the HN crowd of the habits of most users. Most people do not think about what they do on a computer even a fraction as often as a developer or other user here would.

My mother, for example, does not really understand that websites are run by individual entities. There's one "internet" and all websites are kind of like a strip mall under general management, so in her mind if one page on facebook askes for a password to read my email, how is that any different than reading my email on on the yahooo page.
All she knows is Facebook, an "official" website asked for a password.
This seems like a case similar to the Google WiFi data collection. Code written for one reason was reused in a different project without understanding what it would do.

Here’s an example page from 2011 talking about facebook’s old feature to import contacts via providing them your email username and password. This was at a point when many web mail services didn’t offer an OAuth API to do this, so it did make some sense at the time. It was still safer to do a csv export and then import, but much easier for users to provide the password directly.

Can I ask a question, do you have any kids?
I was going to comment on this already, but even that's way too "fast" based on the accepted notion of time complexity in theoretical CS... abacus sort should technically be an exponential-time algorithm! (And yes, I disagree with the wikipedia article on this topic, which lists several "possible" time complexities, all of which I consider incorrect.)

The reason being that the accepted definition of time complexity in formal literature is standardized not based on the number of "things" in the input (numbers in a list, nodes in a graph, etc.), but on the length of the input string. This is a common pitfall when people reason about time complexity. Here's why this applies to abacus sort:

1. Abacus sort contains integers in its input string--and based on the conventions of formal time complexity, these can not be encoded in unary (if unary encodings were allowed, then several famous NP-Complete algorithms, e.g. bin packing, would have polynomial time solutions based on the length of their input)

2. The value of an integer is exponentially related to its length. For example, making a binary integer only one bit longer can double its value, making it two bits longer will quadruple its value, etc.

3. The input to a sorting algorithm like abacus sort is a list of numbers. Even if there are n numbers, the number of "beads" you need to simulate is exponentially proportional to the length of the longest single number.

4. Even if you think that the number of beads can be simulated with an infinite number of threads, or something, you'd still need to decode the (at least) binary input to a unary number of beads, which will take an exponentially-related amount of memory.

Of course, all this is not to say the algorithm isn't cool in practice, for numbers in ranges that reasonable people care about. It's similar to a weakly-NP-complete problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_NP-completeness) like integer bin packing, where the time complexity is dependent on the longest number and therefore technically exponential, but in practice solved for any reasonable ranges of values in polynomial time.

Edit: By the way, this is why the naive prime-number-checking algorithm (check divisibility of a value v by all values up to sqrt(v) is not an efficient algorithm even though many people incorrectly think it's O(sqrt(n))!

It technically takes exponential time relative to the length of bits in the number, so it's basically useless for guaranteeing primality of something like a 4096-bit number.
Same. I’ll stick with SSMS.
Not a lawyer, but at least in my jurisdiction, fraud requires a monetary loss by the victim.

Generally, civil law is better suited for this sort of thing, no matter how good a pitchfork feels in your hand. As but one of the reasons, the required standard of proof is much lower.
One way to combat this is to let other teams register tests in other team's projects. If a test fails, you know it breaks someone's expectations. From there, you work with that team to update both sides.
The bead sort is a really smartass solution that could be considered an instructional example of the benefits of parallelization as well as exploitation of situational advantages.

Gravity effectively gives infinite free "threads" for the falling and it engages in accounting tricks with assumptions - normally the starting state set up is taken for granted because either it is already there or would always have to be done the same way (no getting around reading in the N numbers) which is more involved in a physical system.

I liken it to being asked to give the value of pi and giving the answer as a red circle split by a green line in the center and writing length of red divided by the length of green. Technically correct and efficient in calculations but extracting it involves more work not in the solution.
I have the same issue with Mate (which I love otherwise). I've settled for manually setting the font dpi when I switch from external monitor to my laptop screen. It's not ideal, but I couldn't find a way around it.

Hm.

I think if you’d said “‘self’ is more than just the (brain|connectome)”, a lot more people would agree with you.
I can't count the number of times I've re-read The Book of New Sun. Absolute masterpiece.

Wolfe's books are truly mind altering and forever change the way you think about science fiction and life in general.
> I don't personally think it's hugely important whether one prefers the framing of self over soul.

The existence of the self, and it being seated in physical organs, is noncontroversial, and in no way particular associated with the spiritual belief of people who go to church. The idea that the self is seated somewhere distinct from the body—the soul—is. So, I think that the “framing” is quite relevant to the connections you tried to draw upthread.

Which isn't to say it's not an interesting anecdote (though, on its own, of very little probative value) either way.

Interestingly, WhatsApp (and Telegram, and Signal) don't even ask and just upload all your contacts' phone numbers (this is before Android had the prompt "Allow this app access to your contacts?). It's very convenient, and also very sad.

Also sad is the fact that BlackBerry already had a fine-grained permissions systems pre-iPhone days, but it took iPhone and Android many many versions and years before they built such privacy controls (but yeah "We care about our costumer's privacy"
- Apple). And Google didn't even care about privacy back then I remember the Google Maps app for BlackBerry just prompts you "Please give us all the permissions we want or this app will just exit now." on startup, when you've denied it a permission or two.
This is as surprising as the facebook story.

A tremendous loss, his science fiction and fantasy novels are some of the best out there. Others have mentioned other books of his, but my favorite is still Book of the Long Sun. Patera Silk is a great character, and The Whorl is a marvelous setting.
Are you trying to imply that adtech has made the world better? Are you trying to erase the difference between mapmaking and tracked advertising? My eyes are about to fall out the back of my head, I'm rolling them so hard.

Google's core business is tracking you and shoveling ads at you. Every time they pollute one of their side hobbies with their core business, it makes that side hobby worse and worse for the world. Search, mail, news, I can go on.
Comparing the quarter-turn metric and the "standard" metric is very interesting.

I'm fascinated that for both, the number of positions above a certain distance starts to reduce again (which is much more pronounced in the quarter-turn table). Intuitively, it isn't obvious to me why this would be so, but it's nerd sniped me into thinking about how combinations work in general and the geometry of the Rubik's cube particularly.

H&M, the global benchmark for disposable clothing, also hails from Sweden. And Ikea's cheaper particleboard furniture ranges are also pretty disposable.

They did have the upload-your-address-book functionality before they instituted this check. I’m very much hoping to see Facebook suffer for this, but I could conceivably see a scenario where they reused code that did more than they wanted.
The markets should be deleting/refusing uploads on GPS/meta data on photos, they are not‽‽‽‽

Sure on this? Seems a simple value add for a market to say why they are better than another security wise, leading to them all doing it as standard practice.

A funny way to set up some friends I guess. An extra clever market would add fake GPS data to photos occasionally.
I've never heard of TV-B-Gone.

"..for production costs to fall, either there must be fewer people earning wages, or wages must be lower."

Prices can go down without production or labor costs falling. Equipment is frequently capitalized. The approach that CFOs take to applying both the payments (interest) and depreciation are valves they can turn to modulate the P&L. This is totally disconnected from supply, demand and pricing.

Moreover, the margins earned can be very high at the beginning of a product cycle and therefore, still robust enough to justify the investment and labor costs even when prices have dropped.

Finally, in many cases, the lower prices induce more demand. Average selling price drops, demand grows, offsetting the price decrease.

This is all modus operandi for the display, semiconductor and computing industries, among others.

I was not aware of this project, but I have had a similar hardware setup half-completed on my workbench forever.
I am using an old thinkpad T40 (love the keyboard, and it seems to be indestructible) with a serial connection to a RPi velcroed to the case. The laptop passes cyphertext and destination data only to the Rpi, which forwards it along and also does the reverse.
My thoughts were that if I disable SLIP-type functionality on the laptop, along with all networking, that it would sufficiently isolate the laptop.
Now you've got me thinking about 3 RPi-zeros packaged to fit in the CD drive slot...
> The same data collection that government loves so much has been misused to throw elections

If this is done in favor of the current government, then they probably won't mind.
I agree, and wrote a lengthy comment below about why this "algorithm" would actually be considered exponential time using the accepted definition of time complexity in theoretical CS.
That bug would be a critical failure and be caught, the reverse would be a non-critical bug that the PM decides to to put in the backlog because reasons. If in a year we haven't gotten around the fixing it, then it's time to clean out that backlog!
"How do you know god said so? How do you know there even is a god? How do you know god wouldn't lie?"

I don't know any of these things. I don't believe in a God. But you're missing the whole point which is that just because you disagree with the reasoning and beliefs of Catholics doesn't mean that you can impose a doctrine upon them which they do not believe.

"And that's blind faith, because they can't actually prove it, they just declare it's possible."

They believe that they can prove it, and I've met many who will attempt to a do so at the drop of a hat. If you'd read the link I provided you'd actually see some of those attempts. Whether they actually can prove it is beside the issue, however. What matters is whether they believe that their proofs are valid.
MIT License for spaCy, though you'd never know it from the home page of the site. It is really frustrating to have such a nice tool with such a beautiful site, but have the site have no mention of the word "License" on it.

This can be entertaining. Much of my information is incorrect or pending. My sister's information is almost entirely wrong and does not note she has been dead for several years. It also says she "may" have sex offenses. My father's first and last name are correct, as is the age he was when he died. On the other hand, the date of his death is more than 20 years off and everyone "related" to him is wrong, other than myself.

That implies that you, as a developer, then hear new stories like this one and simply ignore any role you may or may not have had in the situation. It implies that you simply ignore that your manager or engineering leadership are asking you to do things that are unethical without informing you about how your work will be used. It implies that you continue to work for that leadership knowing that they will lie to you, hide their true intentions, and use your labor to execute profoundly unethical practices.

It's not news at this point to anyone working at FB what their leadership is engaged in, and what their work is being used to accomplish.

Perhaps several years ago you could claim some kind of ignorance.

That's no longer the case. You know who you work for. Own it.
A Link Relation to Convey a Preferred URI for Referencing
I thought of this as well. One difference, at least subjectively, is that Google seems to make far fewer of such mistakes.

Just as with people, it’s sometimes difficult to judge them for a single act. Only by aggregating behavior over time can we learn of their true character.

And Facebook’s rotten.
One level is great and enough.
Version X is nice.

Oh you care about breaking changes? Ok then for you we will have two levels.
Version X.Y it is. For the person above that doesn't care about breaking, two levels still work.

What? You want to show your audience/clients/users that an update contains something interesting for them like a feature, and separate it from a simple typo-fix release? I guess we are adding another level then.
Version X.Y.Z is here.

You see, semver is not the ideal way for everyone, but it's the way that everyone can use as they want. As a receiver of a version, you can care about if it's a feature or no, breaking or no, and you set your requirement to a specific number, or ^a number or ~a number etc. As a creator of a version, in order for everyone to work with semver the way they like it, we should be good citizens and try to signify what this version has. Even if you don't care about breaking changes or showing if you just added a feature, try to signify it in your version string. It will help someone.

I know the selfie app was just an example, but what's the point of a selfie app if you can't share the selfies?

Also you are assuming people have due diligence to actually care or understand which permissions an app is requesting and to actually stop long enough to consider the implications. Consider that most of the world is technologically illiterate, and pop-ups will probably at most be a very mild annoyance for end-users who blindly press ALLOW in order to open the app because it has kittens and rainbows.
This sounds like another green deal. Why would the Arab states want to improve the environment?
"klass" is a common convention in OOP code when referring to classes, because "class" and "Class" are often reserved already.
There’s got to be a monetary loss here. If there isn’t precedent for calculating that loss, such precedent should be established. Our email contacts are valuable, especially at 150m user scale. We could have all banded together and sold them, had Facebook not stolen them. These users should be compensated.

They claim it's to see that the customer is liquid enough, so more for the convenience of the seller.

It's incredible that the banks tolerated this service even though they told their customers to not to give their credentials to a 3rd party. Or not just banks, how about the German Federal Office for Information Security.

I wish the bank would just block accounts who they detect used the service with an error like "We think your credentials have been compromised" (then again the stupid customer will think it's the bank who got breached). Or give them a fine of e.g. 100 Euro for breaching their user agreement. Then again, this would lose them so many pissed-off customers.

Well the code is the same for all of them (but when using a bool map we assign true instead of empty struct). So we run this code inside a benchmarking function:

m[i] = struct{}{}
}

Roger Scruton lays this out elegantly in a lecture at Oxford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUbfMQ91Mps#t=37m

Initially Barack Obama was in favor of homosexual rights, but not in favor of altering the institution of marriage. Scruton continues on, "within a year he was saying I am in favor of gay marriage and within another year he was joining forces with those who say that those who are against gay marriage are homophobes."

"So something which had been judged perfectly legitimate to oppose suddenly becomes the criterion of moral merit. And I think we've seen this in all sorts of issues that we've gone through in recent years. All of us are within one tiny step of being demonized."
“150m user scale” is an expression speaking to Facebook’s gain, not to any users’ loss.

I think 'monetary loss' has a bit more of a meaning of actual money or assets lost, not potential to earn money that you weren't really planning on using being lost. Not saying I think it's not an issue! But I don't think the term 'monetary loss' is applicable.
