But they did need to do this, because it's great for them. Now there's two new apologies that can be breathlessly recited to excuse surveillance capitalism:

* Google are brave for admitting they have your data!

* Sure it's bad they have so much data, but they can be so much more helpful.

Your reply's funny in a way, because if you jump from the beginning to the end it reads like "I get it: our online privacy is important" and then you give N reasons why it's not. And why Google's awesome for the internet (with capital I).

Google at the end of the day is gobbling up information on billions of people from mobile phones, browsers, e-mail, ads, their search engine, their web analytics, their smart home devices and classroom laptops, Google voice service, captchas and almost anything one can think of. The fact that so much information exists in one place is dangerous in itself, they don't have to actually do anything evil.

But they do anyway: they lock people out of their online lives, out victims to their stalkers, manipulate people into handing over their data with dark patterns, subvert or take over web standards, conspire to keep employee salaries low, sometimes serve malware through their ads, crush competition by illegally promoting their properties on search, illegally prevent Android suppliers to use Android as they wish and so on and so forth.

They've been found guilty in a court of law multiple times on both sides of the ocean.

The only good things they might have accidentally done for the internet were done to cement their power.
"Any diet that is unsustainable long term is not going to be good for you."

I hope this doesn't come across as too pedantic, but I dunno if your maxim holds.

For instance, fasting isn't necessarily bad (I think it's quite useful) but clearly it's an unsustainable beyond a certain number of days.

Similarly, keto can both be very effective, change your eating preferences, and be done over a span of months even if it's not something done forever into the future.

I say this not because I have data, but just anecdotally... I lost quite a lot of weight through fasting and ketosis, and now that I've hit a stable weight and modified my diet (no sodas, sweets, bread, dairy and mostly plant based high-fat foods) I'm not in keto but a lot healthier than I was.

You can enter ketosis long enough to lose some weight and then add back in some carbs at some point... just don't return to whatever habits led you to gain weight in the first place.

I had Hyperoptic 1GB/s in Greenwich and was paying special offer of GBP7.5 / month. In regional Australia if pay $80 / month for 35MB/s (maximum line speed).

I find it makes a massive difference as a remote web developer. So many 30 secs to 2 minute waits during the day that interrupt your workflow compared to London, where that just wasn't the case. Definitely has a negative effect on my productivity. On top of that, there's a lot more outages.

> They were into government intervention and social spending.

How else could they recover from the punishment of Treaty of Versailles? The economic recovery of Germany before the start of WW2 is pretty interesting and a surprising success story even knowing what we now do of those involved. The Nazi's were famously and fanatically anti-bolshevik.

> They had gun control. (a prerequisite for hauling off the Jews)

I have no real opinion on this besides "gun control" being an American issue which seems to be used to split left/right there. Our left and right parties both support gun control here, as does most of the rest of the world.

> They shipped an ethnicity off to prison camps, just as FDR did. FDR is on the left, is he not?

"Shipped an ethnicity off to prison camps" doesn't really do the events of the Holocaust justice. By FDR I assume you mean the American president? What does he have to do with the Nazi party? Your argument for the nazi party having "leftist" policies is that some later US president who did the 'same thing' (he ordered the deaths of all these people did he?) was a member of a left party? That's pretty weak sauce my friend.

As a German, I have no desire to minimize or indeed maximize the 'distance 'to Nazi ideology for anyone, I'm not attacking you here -- I just don't understand how you can hold such views.

You've cherry picked some here which you think are enough to be able to present the nazis as a left party while ignoring the historical actions of this group (which are far-right in the extreme). It's quite ironic that on an article about bios-confirming echo chambers you seem to be hook-line+sinker in the same hole.

Please think carefully before throwing Nazi around or trying to align them with one side of the political debate wherever you are or the other -- the nazis were among the worst we have come up with so far in our history, and no one is aligned with them. While I think you're wrong to call them leftist; in the end it doesn't matter. We object to nazis because they are evil, not because of their supposed political leanings -- using them as ammunition in a discussion only ends it and offends people.

Not sure, how it should fail tho. I have seen integrated kitchens that are double my age and are still doing well.

If a door fails, getting a new one is not hard. Exchanging the work surface is usually totally doable. if some sink falls apart this is a bit more problematic, but also not a huge problem. Exchanging a fridge or a stove? Easy, as long as you don't buy the wrong size.

Of all the spaces I lived in the places that had the most broken kitchens, were always those where each element was seperatly movable, because having your stuff firmly mounted and reducing the places where liquid and dirt can go greatly improves the lifetime of the thing.

This is a European perspective tho, Americans might have different integrated kitchens, I am not that familiar with the differences there.

I am in the same boat .. I searched long and hard for an electric scooter or a skateboard that I could use in my regular commute (Vienna, Austria) and after trying everything I could get my feet on, I settled on an electric moped (UNU), which is just about the best possible transportation system I've experienced - apart from feeling underpowered compared to combustion engines.

I get amazing transportation for pennies (its very cheap to recharge the batteries), its fast enough once you get into the city, and it'll survive a bit of rain here and there.

Alas, until the skateboard/scooters catch up with the nearly-all-weather requirement, I don't see mopeds being replaced in this market any time soon.
Even at atomic scales there are always minor distortions due to external influences. For example, although the shape of an electron s-orbital is said to be a sphere, the only way this could theoretically be a perfect sphere is if the atom is and always has been completely isolated from all external fields and forces.

I'm pretty sure that is the first implementation of Lisp. Earlier "versions" of Lisp were hand-compiled, because it was considered too difficult to produce a compiler. Then Steve Russell realized that McCarthy's "eval" function could be implemented in assembly language (which apparently hadn't occurred to McCarthy, he considered it merely theoretical) and produced the first Lisp interpreter. Note that the manual is from March 1960 and McCarthy's first paper on Lisp was published in April 1960, so nobody outside his circle at MIT would have known about Lisp at the time.

The manual also states that it's for "a version of Lisp being prepared for the IBM 709", implying the manual was written while the interpreter was still being developed, and all references I've found state that the IBM 709 version was the first practical implementation.

More on the very early history of Lisp here: http://jmc.stanford.edu/articles/lisp/lisp.pdf

Quantity isn’t always the most important quality. The US (and the UK?) seems to present propaganda as something the bad guys do, which is easier to believe if the changes are limited. Limited doesn’t mean unimportant, and it being limited forces focus on important changes.

I think it is more to do with the fact that "enterprise" software vendors have done the boring legwork of ticking all of the necessary multi-jurisdiction legal tick-boxes, implement that one insane export format, provide reports required just-so by a given regulator and so-on. The value they provide to the business is outside of the software in that sense.
Ok, what these processes are, and where are they docummented? Because I seriously doubt they exist. I've certainly not read any articles about tech companies having any such thing, and actually helping researchers and archiving organizations.

Also there's no jurisdiction or relevant authorities for many war zones. So archiving and docummenting is the only option now, to help potential investigations and trials in the future.
If you are a designer (or have the mindset of one) you can spend a significant amount of time thinking about this. Both my girlfriend and I are rooted in design and we were thinking 3 days about how to order things in the kitchen, where to put the sink, the stove, the fridge, preperation areas, cuttlery, garbage, etc. We drew out the routes and movements for common tasks on each variant and iterated through it, till we got a combination that seemed to be very efficient and didn't look too odd.

And it totally paid off. Investing a few days of thinking and planing to avoid something that might annoy you for years to come is totally worth it.
I don't know about the US, but German law has classes of knives you can only legally carry for purposes compatible with society. I am allowed to carry a leatherman for electrical work or to peel an apple, carrying that same knife for self defense or to play with it in front of the train station is illegal. You don't have to do anything, just carrying it in a suspicious context can be enough to have it confiscated.

From a purely statistical viewpoint, there are 11M Tunisians out of 7.5 billion people, which would put them at 1.5 out of any 1000 people are Tunisian :) Even if we take technological and language exposure (which is what I am guessing you are hinting at), I'd say at least 1 person in 5000 on here is Tunisian :) And I suspect there are more than 5000 people on HN.

> Who cares.

When the "new" tool is worse than the "old" tool, i care (and yes, the "new" tool can be worse - and often is - yet displace the "old" one, not because of its quality, but because of external reasons - like the developers of the "old" tool being unable to sustain its development).

>>Rupert Murdoch is somewhat a foreigner to you, having gained US citizenship in 1985, but he comes from Australia.

This sounds like a very bizarre thing to focus on.

I was born in another country, and have been living in the US for 17 years, i.e. all my adult life. I am absolutely a foreigner when I visit family; I'm unfamiliar with and ignorant of cultural changes, events, news, etc. that have happened since I left.

So if I controlled most of the media outlets back home from where I currently am... does that not strike you as something that my home country's citizens can reasonably take issue with?

An Open Source Developer Doesn’t Fit in Your Company
Lately there's been some product pushing from some companies, some "facebook keto" of people only eating fat, and some pushback from mainstream low-fat selling and plant-based food groups, calling it fad, etc. So the area is kind of confusing right now.

The best resource I think think of is Keto subreddit FAW which goes over the principles and some misconceptions and so on: https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq

Also, Keto is often done along with intermittent fasting, which is another popular thing, lately.

EDIT: the subreddit is also full of people talking about their success with Keto (meaning mosty obese and diabetc or prediabetic reversing their condition), but that might be survivorship bias - someone who failed or someone who had adverse effects might not post there.

My personal experience is that I lost quite a bit of weight on Keto, and experienced other effects like loss of cravings, more mental clarity, etc, in comparison to typical western diet - but that might be just me. My hypothesis is that some people handle carbs better than others, and Keto is good for the group which dosn't handle carbs very well.

EDIT2: There's also a lot of misconceptions about fat being the devil.

You know, given the trans-fats debacle - for decades, people were convinced that trans-fats were the good thing and you have to be monster to give your kids evil bad butter instead of healthy nice margarine - I am convinced that as a humanity, we don't know shit about nutrition, and basically just do what works for you. For some people, Keto is much better than the standard western diet.

additionally to the Expense, in some situations (for example in a burning house) where the radio reception gets bad an analog radio degrades better: the signal gets noisy but you can propably still understand what's said, and you can ask for repeats and piece together something out of a few retransmissions.

With digital radio on the other hand, a bad signal results in lost chunks. There the transmission is clear until it gets choppy and that's a lot harder to make anything out of.

I can't speak to the study. My empirical results carrying a CO2 monitor around for just under one year show me that well-insulated buildings have much higher CO2 than drafty buildings.
