Gmail spam filtering and it's mail server are two sides of the same coin. The mail server itself is blocking believed spam messages as a first layer, then the spam filter acts a second layer that marks messages as spam. I guess they don't want to save messages that they are completely sure are spam, the problem seems to be their false positive rate or simply their approach against small operators.
I run those same plugins on all my browsers and I'm still blocking between 30-60% of total requests for tracking beacons and other privacy-invading calls that get past the plugins.
which is not necessarily a bad thing
Unless the original text is the whole body of sleep research. In that case a popsci book is a nice TLDR.
Moviepass tried do so the subscription thing on a very large scale and that didn't really work. Netflix pulls it off since they own most of the content and some of the distribution network.
I had a communication from a Google recruiter go to my Gmail spam folder.

But it still beats no filtering.
This is a natural consequence of policing in a heavily armed country.
I would not consider converging economic interests ties. As those can change at any moment. I guess the whole war racketeering thing is the same thing, you destroy a country to rebuild it. If they are already doing that, letting you build it then what's the point of destroying it.
I meant the copiers generally spend less (probably much less than Samsung) on building a brand. Again more value for your money.

I own a Pocophone F1, made by Xiaomi. It supposedly has one of the better UIs by default, but I found it pretty insufferable.

Then again: The terrible software (with some ads) probably again subsidizes the device's price. No joke, the device with absolutely high-end specs cost me about 300€.

The bootloader unlocking process is an insult (you have to have a Xiaomi account, verify your e-mail address, link it to your device, install their windows-only software, then wait 3 days [most of those steps took me multiple reboots to get figured out correctly]), but after that it is absolutely smooth to install the Android distribution of your choice - and there's a lot of it.

I made sure not to do any banking on it before replacing the software, but afterwards it's probably more trustworthy than stock software of any non-chinese vendor.

Of course if we're talking about stock chinese software ..... yeah, I wouldn't trust that, even on their 'global' versions, that aren't government guaranteed to spy on their users.

Haven't you heard? "Incentives made me do it" is an excuse that frees you from all responsibility!
> If you're a paying customer, you definitely can get a human being to look at your problem.

I may not be giving them money directly, but my use of their products contributes to their billions in ad revenue. Without us free users providing eyeballs for their ad network they would be significantly less rich.

It's upsetting that the default response to complaints about Google's terrible customer service is "if you don't pay them you aren't a customer." Most of their value comes from us, it most certainly isn't a one-way relationship.
"If you were around Manhattan in the 1990s, you hated Barnes & Noble the way you hated garbage strikes or Celine Dion. The chain seemed to expand on a weekly basis, and it got in the way — of the independent book stores it displaced"

I loved B&N in the 90s, and regularly went there to browse the stacks. They had the selection, and the independent book stores didn't.

"Those who lived in the Bronx couldn’t help feeling that the gatekeepers of cultural commerce found them unworthy."

More like they found the community didn't buy enough books for the bookstore to pay the bills.

Okay. I now understand what's actually significant about this - and conclude that "no muscle movement needed" is a lie.
There were already some reimplementations of PalmOS on top of other operating systems.

e.g. PalmOS's own "Simulator" was a reimplentation of PalmOS on Windows. It would contain a x86 ROM that would "thunk out" for some ROM libraries (including the DAL) into separate .dlls that would do the equivalent Windows calls. I always though that if I ever wanted to start my own PalmOS clone I would start by looking at those.

Garnet VM by ACCESS was exactly the same thing except for Linux and Gtk+, and compiled for ARM. Namely, an original PalmOS ROM blob with some libraries implemented as external .so that would perform Gtk+ and Cairo (!!) calls.

Most probably, this was actually developed as part of the entire "PalmOS on top of Linux" project that PalmSource actually still had when they were bought by ACCESS.

StyleTap was a 3rd party commercial reimplementation. You can see it still has some drawing glitches and differences versus an actual PalmOS. It is available for both Windows (CE) and Linux (Android).

So I think Linux does make for an excellent host operating system, after all.
Because I want to encourage comments/questions, I do almost what you describe, except that the email ONLY contains a link to the doc. So in effect, the email is just a notification that the doc has been updated.
I think the point being made is that the exchange rates of any currency -- whether from currency A to currency B, or currency B to "hot dog, fries and soda" -- are essentially set by shared belief, not by some kind of intrinsic value, no matter what the currency is ostensibly backed by. The idea that currency needs to be backed by anything in the sense it's being used here (e.g., a tether backed by a dollar, or a dollar backed by a fixed amount of metal) is a convenient fiction that requires trusting all the entities explicitly or implicitly involved in the transaction. I'm aware bitcoin and other blockchain-based "currency" tries to expunge the need for trust, but in practice it seems like most of them succeed more in expunging accountability.

The argument that state-issued currencies have value because they're the only currency you can use to pay taxes back to the state is true in some sense, but the value is still essentially arbitrary and the trust is still required. (e.g., if I owe money come April 15th, I have to trust my bank, Visa, and TurboTax, probably, even before it gets to the IRS).
Sqribble Review: All You Need to Know about This eBook Maker

After all, if it's just your opinion then everyone has one of those, and why is yours so much better? Just because you've spent decades working on and obsessing about design, that doesn't make your opinion worth anything more, right?

But if it's backed up with SCIENCE, well that's totally different. You can't argue with SCIENCE, can you?

For #1, it seems the market would adjust. We already see complaints about drivers not knowing the area they're driving in. Would it reassure riders to know that their driver spends 99% of driving time in an area they're riding?

For #2, sincere problem for which I am not aware of a good solution.
I'm really curious about this. I've known one of the people I talked to a long time, and while I don't audit his business, I believe him when he says the contract says he can't hire his own drivers.

There's going to be something like Occlumency from Harry Potter. To avoid people reading your thoughts, you will need to practice thinking nonverbally.

I have a hobby, I own a horse which takes 3 hours daily and is a very powerful stress relief. I’m not overly sensitive to stress in a professional setup anyways. That’s also why I think I have a decent profile for such niche requirements.

But it’s not enough yet especially on weekends, since my jobs do not follow me out of their walls, neither in thoughts nor in their missions.

No interest in volunteering. Not because of money but I’d rather learn something and/or enjoy myself, and selflessness or social missions help neither for me.

It doesn’t have to be the norm, but it can still be an advantage for the ones endowing it.
Ask HN: How can I use my grid solar panel more effectively
I have grid solar panels installed at my home where my parents live. It's my hometown. They use 40% of total generated electricity. Rest of electricity goes into grid and we don't get paid for this excess electricity generated. They only waive off our consumption. Meanwhile I'm living in metro city here in India and paying almost around ₹1000(around 15$) electricity bill every month.

I should mention that around 360KwH is generated during summer and around 240KwH during rainy season. For rest of year it's in between.

I guess what I'm asking is if it's possible to use that excess electricity to pay off my electricity bill here in metro city.

tldr: I'm looking for some ingenious ways to use excess electricity(180 KwH) to generate income so as to pay off my bills.

Thanks.
Lionfish genes studied for clues to invasive prowess

I have several of each, but I have to say I tend to prefer an RPi Zero W to any of the alternatives. Right now I have three running, one logging air quality and other sensor data, one acting as a grandfather clock, driving a servo that strikes a long chime on the hour (and is silent at night, when I am at work, etc.), and another which is making calls to a couple of APIs when someone presses my doorbell. The last one likely would be simpler on an Arduino (well, really an ESP8266 like a Wemos D1 mini, say); the other two benefit from having cron, ntp, etc. none of which is as easy on Arduino.
But... no one is denying that. The article acknowledges it (it actually discusses it extensively), I acknowledge it. That doesn't mean they shouldn't do better, or that there isn't a huge cost on the personal lives of the people working there.

You are also making the assumption that their continued success is dependent on their toxic work culture, but I don't think that's a given. I'd wager that most people who work the kind of hours that we're discussing are:

a) either no more productive than someone working 40-50 hours, or only marginally more productive
b) More likely to make simple/avoidable mistakes, which take time to track down, resolve and waste QA resources
c) More likely to quit or have to go medical leave, which increases turnover, which is an enormous cost in development.

Furthermore, the stories of how bad the work place is will discourage potentially skilled applicants, and the longer they let it go on, the more trouble they'll have changing the way they are perceived in the industry.

I'd also wager that if you are constantly in crunch mode like this, it would stifle creativity and possible innovations. No one has the time to play around with new ideas, or try things and fail.

clockwork orange, the book, has 21 chapters. for whatever dumb reason, burgess' american publisher decided to omit the last chapter on publication. burgess believes this entire subverts the book's message, making it say the opposite of what he meant it to say. alas, it appears kubrick's treatment in the film also omits the last chapter.

burgess wrote at length about this in "rolling stone" back in the day. i kept that particular issue all these years because i think it's an important story. i can't find a copy of it online, though. the story is somewhat covered in the wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clockwork_Orange_(film)#Nove...

... which also mentions that american versions of the book after 1986 restore the final chapter.
Yes, this is how supply and demand works in a healthy market. Riders should pay higher prices for tasks that drivers are less willing to do, and concomitantly drivers should get paid more for those tasks.
This tip is good for almost any service. Gmail could ban you any minute. I doubt that they'll allow to get backups after that.

May be if I'm paying some money to some local company in my city, I can have some confidence, because I can come to their office and yell at them until they return my data to me. But they can just be incompetent and lose it, so even in this case I better do backups.

That's not the first time fake papers have been published and even cited.

No researcher has the time to read all the papers published in their field.

There are no penalties for publishing bad science, and no rewards for debunking it.

Recent moves to stop p-hacking by removing the need to show statistical significance will (if they get through) only make this worse.

Something has to change.
I'm not an expert in this, but i think the first-sale doctrine only applies if the phone is in similar condition as the new ones you get from apple (or if it's used, you say that it's used, etc). The seller of the wiretapped phone would probably not be protected.

I would really appreciate it if you were to release your DAL and "runner".

I would really enjoy having a workable way to emulate PalmOS on top of Linux/Android.

StyleTap is just too pricey and almost abandoned at this point (it tends to give a black screen on modern Android), and PHEM/xpilot/POSE, while open source, just emulates m68k meaning you're stuck with OS4 ROMs, no PNOlets, no high-density, difficulty integrating with host services, millions of bugs, ...

The US Government will not arrest and throw you in jail for lack of payment on taxes, as long as you have accurately declared all of your income. Failure to pay is a civil violation, not a criminal offense. However they will garnish your wages and forcibly seize your assets to settle large tax debts.

> consumers have voted decisively against that

No, they haven't; they've been given no opportunity to vote. Such an opportunity would be, for example, Google offering its basic search service for pay to users. Of course they would have to offer some incentive, some benefit that free users (more precisely, ad-supported users) don't get, but we already know how that works: the obvious benefit is no ads. I would certainly pay for an ad-free Google.

One example is the story of the sons of John Kerry and Joe Biden partnering together to form a private equity fund which received money from the Chinese government, and then using that money to acquire strategically sensitive assets, in some cases partnering with firms accused by the US government of hacking US companies for intellectual property:

https://nypost.com/2018/03/15/inside-the-shady-private-equit...

They did all this while their fathers were undertaking sensitive high-level negotiations with the Chinese government.

If you try Googling for keywords related to this story, Google will claim to have indexed thousands of related pages, but will only serve 33 search results:
https://www.google.com/search?q=biden+kerry+Rosemont+Seneca+...

If you enter the same keywords into Bing you will be served thousands upon thousands of search results without any of Google's limiting or censorship:
https://www.bing.com/search?q=biden+kerry+rosemont+seneca+He...

One interesting thing to note is that most of the websites which picked up this story are right-wing, and that Google appears to simply be blacklisting non-mainstream right-wing websites from its search results. Whether or not this is due to any implicit ideological bias on Google's part is uncertain.

There may be another factor as well. I don't downvote comments based on whether or not I agree with them (if I disagree enough to want to express that, I just make my own comment saying so). I downvote comments if I feel that they were egregious in some way (overly combative, insulting, nonsensical, etc.)

I may be the only one who votes like this, though.

At Plaid, I'm in a unique situation where I manage a division of the engineering team which is dedicated to being distributed; the rest of engineering team is not. My goal is to ensure not only that my team is aligned, but also that important information is flowing between my team and the rest of the company.

For this, I use a weekly update that's sent to the team and also the "periphery" of the team -- all those who care about and influence the team's success. Each weekly update is prepended to a Google doc, and I send an email out (just with a link to the doc) when I update it.

The update has three sections: "Last Week" (everything I experienced last week that I think is relevant) "This Week" (a list of my priorities for the upcoming week with a cut line) and "Biggest Mistakes and Missed Opportunities" (just what it sounds like). It's intended to be comprehensive and often runs more than one page.

To make sure "people don't actually miss things," there are two parts:
1) I make sure the update contains all the things I don't want people to miss
2) I make sure the weekly update is valuable enough to everyone so that they read it.

On occasions where I've been late in updating it, I've found that I'm repeating the same information to multiple people more often and also having to say, "Sorry, you'd have known that already if I'd gotten my update out on time."
