The "fake it till you make it" is as said borderline greyhat / negative : create false demand, use bots to fake real usage, spam forums, ... like many platforms did. While doing by hand what is not yet automated can be useful, this is not tolerable and I think those actions should not be condoned as business as usual. Or we'll get what we deserve when those companies get our real data instead of more conscious ones.
Yeesh. I had the same happen - Except I never followed through on reversing the charge on my credit card. I spent multiple hours trying to dispute $2.99 or something. Clearly not for the monetary value - just from pure frustration!

However, I was scared for my Google account so just ended up dropping it. Ridiculous.
The last decades has truly been a race to the bottom. Disguised as success and freedom. In various degrees has the westerner abolished the family, the local community and the church on the altar of individualism. The funny thing is that when the shit hits the fan, all those who has rejected this the most, will be the one doing least bad. The ones most despised by the elite and inner city folks.
I wonder if this could be used to create a P2P network like bit torrent except trackers point to blocks at google doc urls instead of peers/seeds

In addition to those reasons generally a computer system is a business tool. If a machine is doing what a company needs then why spend valuable time and money upgrading it to something else that will do exactly the same job.

I do appreciate the problem of security patches, but XP is pretty rock solid as a platform so for many businesses their tool does what they need.
We had extended support for a couple of years but now it's dead dead deadski.

Like any other large industrial org, there's some bits of million-pound kit with integrated, essential XP. Likewise old essential software where the support has literally retired, running on 2003. We've got roadmaps for replacing it, but they're not instant.

We manage it as best we can. But broadly we're just about to go to 10 on desktops, so we're not as bad as the police!
> Unfortunately, equating a human life to dollars is always insulting. To that individual, their life could be worth an infinite amount and more than all the money in the world.

True, but that's irrelevant. My life is worth more to me than any comapny could pay, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't expect recompense if the company poisoned me to death. I would want to enjoy my final days in as little suffering as possible and leave something behind for whoever I might care about.

The fact is, that by making them ill you have effectively ended their life. It's manslaughter, perhaps even murder, and you have prevented them from working to support their family.

If you're going to live the remainder of your life in suffering I would bloody well hope the parties responsible start emptying their pockets for you and your family.

I can't believe I'm actually having to defend the concept of compensation from a company that poisoned someone to death. I know HN has a serious case of corporate sycophancy but this is on another level.

Another security principle is involved: assume the worst case. If CPU vulnerabilities are a popular subject, they get fixed to some extent: it's much better than letting them be as a tool in the hands of private and government black hat hackers.

Because the anti Huawei talk is obviously not in people's interest. Just look how zero politicians worldwide lament that Cisco should be banned from anything related to internet infrastructure despite showing again and again that they are unwilling to stop implementing backdoors. Cisco makes it obvious that backdoors are A OK as long as it's our backdoors. No one acting against Huawei actually cares about peoples security.
> The problem is what happens when someone takes one of these models seriously without actually checking the details, or without being qualified to check them.

That's a problem with absolutely any kind of statement you can put on-line. There's only so much an author can do to prevent stupid from misreading them; the responsibility is not all on author here.

> The author could have said "this kinda-sorta looks like it might be useful in simulating wildfire but I haven't checked"

Why? Maybe they actually checked. I did, and keeping in mind that I'm not a medical scientist, it does seem that SIR model with modifications is widely used to study disease spread, and it also does look like a good first-order approximation for measles. It also does look like a good first-order approximation of wildfires.

I actually did a thesis on using cellular automata for simulating indoor fires and used some of the same ideas presented here. SIR is essentially what I'd get if I ignored the details of heat convection, conduction and radiation - which at the scale of forest fire is something you can do (unlike my work, where modelling these details was kind of the entire point).
Yup, selling something. Even if it's selling awareness of gut problems so people realize they may have a problem and start looking for a solution.

(That's behind a lot of marketing actually, making people think they have a problem; that they have gut issues, that they're not cleaning hygienically enough (and that there's germs everywhere), that they need to have a four hour erection at age 70, that they need to go skydiving in tight white pants while on their period, that someone might shoot a cannon at their boat so they need tape to patch it, that their abs are not good enough so they need another gym device that fits under their bed, etc.
It could even be cool to call someone by a domain name like an .id.jp that pointed to that address.
Why would that make a difference? We're not talking about manufacturing defects, every single unit they sell has the problem, doesn't matter if they sell 10 or 10 million.

> Nearly half of android users at any point in time have run out of space and can't install updates anyway.

Do you have a source for this? Not saying that you're wrong but I'd be very surprised if this was the case. In my experience Android is so laggy as to be completely unusable at anything above about 85% storage utilization. In fact it's the first thing I check when friends / family members complain about their phone being "slow".

I can so much see my own US experience in this. And it was not some remote rural place, but center of LA - Hollywood. I did some 'work'and'travel' (without that travel part) during summer break on university, worked for Universal studios theme park. They got us accommodation nearby just next to Warner bros studios, straight distance to work was maybe 500m, but since there were only highways/fast roads and nothing for pedestrians, it took me 45 minutes of walk to get to the work. I could cut it to 35 min if I walked on the side of the roads, quite unsafe and asking for some police trouble.

It was not just this - public transport was abysmal, nothing reliable, bus could be easily 1 hour late or just wouldn't show up. Many places simply didn't have a pedestrian path to them. It was 2004 but I don't think major shift happened since.

I would expect them to only store a diff between each version instead of storing the whole thing. Couldn't find much about this after a quick search.

Well, all CSS shadows are emulated. CSS doesn't have a lighting engine. The docs you are thinking of [0] suggest that elevation is suggested by shadow morphology. Actual elevation in CSS (3D translations along the Z-axis) is useful for scaling effects to create a sense of perspective, but Material guidelines dictate you should just keep it simple and emulate a light source from which you derive a set of emulated shadows.

What works for me in this case is a Sass mixin which accepts a layer as an integer in the range 1-N and casts a shadow based on that layer and the total depth N. Consistency is key.

Bastille: FreeBSD jail manager written in go
Hey, it's tangential but it always funny to me... Are you perhaps german? I have no idea what other language would have "language" as feminine =). Though, in polish "speech" is. One of the meanings is quite close, esp. In the example of "mother speech" which seems like a direct copy of mutterspraeche. Its exatcly the same in meaning and literal translation.

I think it is interesting how words got their gender established as part of their etymology. It baffled me when learing german that every other word had it different and it's important for grammar.
Considering
> about 32.6 million of the 80 million numbers starting with 020 had already been assigned

It seems a bit odd that they're putting the 14 digit numbers on the same 020 prefix that half the 11 digit numbers have already been released for. Seems like some chance for confusion where the first 11 digits collide. I'd have thought it'd make more sense to give a new 3 digit prefix for this class of numbers.
GDP tells you precisely nothing about where a country's wealth is going, who it is going to or even anything about the well-being of its people.

GDP may as well be simply a measure of how much richer the rich are getting.

I think partially Daily Mail fake outrage, and as quite a few of our historic shifts in spelling and pronunciation have been for fashion or affectation, a degree of having another reason to feel superior to some other group. Not forgetting the old U, non-U garbage.

Course no one ever told the Mail that some of Webster's reforms and American spellings came from Shakespeare either. He was far more phonetic than modern spelling either side of the Atlantic - as was everyone back then. Then you discover Shakespeare's spelling wasn't even consistent with himself and used at least a few words both ways - color and colour springs to mind.

Surely it will be as successful as Académie Française has been preventing French adoption of le computer, le weekend and all the rest? ie not at all. :)

It's all a bit silly. No one yells Indianism, well Tamil, when someone talks of going for a curry, yet we probably acquired almost as many from India as the US.

Edit: Hadn't been aware of of that aspect of Korea - and that North and South hugely disagree on number of letters! Most extensive change I knew was Indonesia after independence, adopting Indonesian from Malay when there's hundreds of native languages, and most spoke something else.

It's pretty obvious that it's worse to be an actual criminal, than someone who goes around and pretends to be one.

You are correct, the 020 prefix is exclusively reserved for M2M. The "conventional" 070, 080 and 090 prefixes are used for smartphones & M2M and the Japanese government has tried to move the vast majority of M2M to 020. It was already expected that the current 11 digit number for 020 is not sufficient, and AFAIK there is a plan for numbers up to 14 digits.

Latency is better than it was so prediction times are shorter, but there's still latency so prediction is still important.
Providers are not always transparent about whether CPU is dedicated or shared (and what exactly shared means). Most importantly, this distinction generally gets lost when people compare offerings of different providers, and so they end up comparing apples and oranges.

Next, when the actual "share" of a shared core is completely undefined, the idea that net performance can be improved by adding more of these shares becomes at least questionable.

Last but not least, one important takeaway from the speculative execution flaws is that a security boundary between software running on the same hyperthread is an indefensible position due to unmitigateable flaws.
Can't wait for marketing people to catch up to this and call devices "SIoT" without changing anything about the product.

Navigating intent-based automation and solving the problem of scale
This is one of those problems where the sickness is uncomfortable but the readily available remedies probably do more harm than good. Facebook and internet platforms more broadly definitely seem to enforce double standards on what is and isn't allowed on their platforms. This is very likely due to the narrow set of viewpoints (or more importantly, voiced viewpoints) at these companies. I worked in 2-3,000 person tech company in San Francisco 2015-2019 and interned at other Bay Area companies, and I can attest that there's a pretty strong liberal monoculture going on there. That the hammer comes down on conservative speech is pretty clearly apparent to me, and I don't think this is good for society in a platform as big as Facebook et. al.

On the other hand, this is entirely within their rights. These are private companies and they have no obligation to host content impartially. Any legislation on this would be a pretty flagrant violation of the First Amendment. Not to mention this requirement is just hopelessly hard to enforce, and is bound to be subjective and prone to abuse if some body is given authority to define this for all online companies.

The only argument that can feasibly be made is to treat Facebook and other platforms like utilities - a power company can't just decide to not do business with people they don't like. But that's extremely far-fetched. I think good argument can be made to treat server hosting providers, payment processors, and domain name providers like utilities. It's not hard to create your own forum, but it is prohibitively hard to set up your own server farm, lay your own fiber cable, and somehow get users to connect to your site with just an IP. I could get behind treating the infra as a utility, splitting hairs over the platforms themselves is not a priority for me. As long as the infrastructure doesn't discriminate, the market will sort things out of the incumbents don't stay on top of things as far as providing a good public forum.
I am a big believer in online relationships. Most of my relationships, friendships and otherwise, have been there. I even got engaged to someone I met online (though we did meet in person a couple times first).

However, it's not difficult at all to sort between shallow and deep social interactions. There's a massive difference between social media interactions and the interactions core to a deep relationship. I'll enumerate some examples here:

Social Media:

* Like

* Write short reply

* ...?

Meaningful relationship:

* Long talks (over phone, email, forums, whatever)

* Discussion of intimate topics (not suitable for the public space of social media!)

* Sharing experiences (and not in the "look what I did" sense of social media, but in the actually doing things together sense of, say, a gamer clan)

* Some semblance of shared beliefs or interests (the focus of a forum, perhaps)

So by all means let's continue building relationships online. But let's never confuse the shallow-as-possible interactions of social media with actually connecting to another human on any more than the most superficial level.

Honestly, being a contractor in this situation do suck. Normally, especially in B2B, contractor have at least a bit of power to negotiate with their client. Sometimes a lot, sometimes not so much, but in the case of a Uber driver, you have no power over Uber.

They want to terminate/not renew your contract because they didn't like you for some reason ? They can. With no extra fee to pay. So imagine if they find out you are part of a Union or participated in a Uber-strike. As a Uber driver, you have no negotiation power over them. You only power is to go see a competitor, which has the same problem and are not numerous anyway.

Then, there is also the fact that as a "personal" contractor, if you get sick, you are fucked. You car has a problem ? Deal with it with your own money. You have no minimum salary, no paid vacation, no sick day, no protection of any kind.
Whatever happen to you, Uber don't care, you are just one of their many contractor.

The status of employee brings a lot of protection that worker all over the world had to fight for. This type of unipersonnal contractor just bring us back to early 1900 worker status, and we should never accept that.
Appalachian English dialects in the US are supposed to be closest to those of London at the time of American colonization. Lox is a yiddish word, though, and while it may phonetically be widespread (as the article claims), the spelling and exact pronunciation in modern English likely spread with German Jewish immigrants. That's particular true in the northeastern US. The parent commenter was unfamiliar with the term, but anyone who grew up around New York would be familiar with it as a common deli item.
No it’s true enthusiasm. The internet has just ruined ! For everyone. :)
Uber already has employees. They are generally expected to work a certain number of ours each week and to turn up in the office when told so.
On the edonkey network, the file size would be reported raw but the clients could compress and transfer chunks to each other. Some guy had created an empty IL-2 sturmovik iso and seeded it. We lived at a government facility with ill-policed high speed (for the time) internet but even then I knew that I didn’t have a 400 Mbps connection. Maybe 2002/2003.

The whole thing only transferred a few kB. It looked like an entire disc though.

The McCarran-Ferguson Act which is a law at the Federal Level enacted in 1945 is what gives states the the authority to regulate insurance offerings within their borders and what helped create the mess and inability to shop across borders. So yeah, its a Federal Law that screwed this up.

Just because it does not prohibit cross state sales is just mincing words. It gave states the ability to make it near impossible to do so. Without consistent requirements how would one expect to have a viable product?

There was an attempt to repeal it but that apparently did not get past the Senate, it was again pushed in 2017 through another act. There are attempts in the Senate as of 2019 to do it.
