"Orders or magnitude" (plural) means something on the order of 100x.

Wouldn't it detect only things that it sees in the line of sight? So if you have one hand behind the other one, it won't see it?
You can plan around it, but that doesn't make it any less stressful necessarily during an activity that's already of varying degrees of stressful (traveling).

"The job of the Federal Reserve is to take away the punch bowl just as the party gets going." - William McChesney Martin, head of the Fed in the 1960s.

His point was that if you don't want a crash, steps have to be taken to stop a boom before it's too late. Politicians hate that, because it means deliberately stopping a boom. But that's the Fed's job, and it's why they have some independence from administration policy.
It isn't a terrible idea to at least be skeptical of someone who, when factoring in frequency and reach, is likely the most prolific liar in human history.
That's to be expected. It's how births are. When babies pass through the mother's birth canal, the tight fit temporarily squashes their heads, elongating their flexible skulls and changing the shape of their brains. The child with a round head either went through a wider birth canal or was smaller. Joking about a woman's genitalia postpartum is simply distasteful.

> Everyone who is knowledgeable about the case knows it can't have been a conspiracy. It was a lone gunman

Can you please elaborate? I could very well imagine a seemingly lone gunman who would indeed be a part of a conspiracy, and I have a kind of a direct experience: I was personally a victim of a robbery where only one man attacked me, in what at that moment appeared to me as a completely random attack. Only after that didn't went as planned, a second man came, but not to help me but to help him, to my complete surprise. By chance and my luck the attack was ultimately not successful, but their goal was anyway not to harm me but just to get something I've possessed. Even more interestingly, after reporting the case to the police and after the investigation based on my previous movements before the attack it turned out that these two had two more accomplices. In total, at least four men were involved in one "small" robbery attack. The police told me they are aware of many such cases, and that there was probably even a fifth person involved who coordinated the four. And this all happened in the country and city of more or less comparable overall security and well being to Stockholm, not somewhere where everybody expects such dangers.

So what appeared to be a random attack is actually often indeed planned and involves more people. Even the thieves seldom operate alone.

Then what should be the arguments that there wasn't any conspiracy there?

The only way to do it is to go to each individual email that Purchases uses as a source and delete them from Gmail. I did it as part of moving all of that to FastMail, personally.
Ask HN: Is there a HN clone that can remove NYtimes, WashPost, etc.
I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I tend to come to HN in short bursts while code is deploying or similar things, and will read headlines really quickly. This causes me to end up on NYTimes, WashPost, etc excessively because they're really good at writing catchy titles.

Does anyone know of a HN clone that can remove news outlets like the nytimes? and if that doesn't exist is that something that anyone else would like built?

>Then, it serves as an advertisement for your skills or the next book you write.

That assumes the book still serves as a good advertisement. Whether it's just because your writing skills have improved or because, for non-fiction, things have changed and your book is very out of date, you may not really want people to judge you by it.

I eventually pulled a book I wrote about 6 years ago because so much had fundamentally changed in the technologies and market dynamics I had written about at the time. (You can actually still get it for free from my website in PDF but it's not really something that would be useful for anyone outside of providing a dated historical snapshot.)

I'm really curious if this would have been considered an issue if it was just a visible header image like a logo. Does making it a single pixel make it more illegal than a image in plain sight? Both perform exactly the same function and both must be explicitly loaded by most email clients.
Honestly they don't want to tell me :-) They really, really don't want their parents on their apps.

All of those things are nice, until they become reasons that the employer expects you to live at the office. At what point does _that_ become strangely feudal? You're practically living at work at that point. I want to leave my office when I'm done, not have it be my designated place for eating, sleeping, lifting, and working.

Heck, add a few video game systems, a keg, and a pool table and require 16 hour office days. Why not? You're already doing it anyway. How about a play room for the kids with babysitting services? At that point, why even have a home?

Tech companies do this already, still organize their offices like seas of desks at best, and still have distracted workers. I would much rather have a standard-issue office with full-height cubicles.

how do you feel about still having to use outlook because of concerns about a competitor that's not even doing social anymore? I've read FB SWEs be aghast about people uploading whiteboard photos to Google Photos to be searchable later, paranoid about Larry and Sergey poring over all the data while twirling their evil mustache.

Also, if impressing other people is not what you're optimizing for then you might not have a great trajectory at a company that's obsessed with i m p a c t and hallucinating metrics to measure it.

Some parts of working at FB as a SWE are awesome, some aren't, everyone's mileage certainly varies.
I routinely revise my Google privacy settings across a bunch of different pages and I was totally unaware they tracked purchases by scanning email in Gmail. I don't see the value this offers to customers but I see why harvesting rich e-commerce data makes sense to Google.
Actually it makes perfect sense for all the reasons you stated.

"Funded businesses die all the time. Google cancels products all the time. companies are acquihired and products end of lifed."

So it makes perfect sense to avoid Google offerings (especially consumer side ones, which Google kills whenever it wants) and avoid "funded businesses" and newcomers that in danger of being acquihired and EOLifed.

Letting the careless early adopt those kinds of services, and using only mature ones (that have proven their longevity and aren't going anywhere even if acquired) in your company, makes sense.

Yes. It also lets you designate a particular number of "steps" outside the original site it will also archive. So I give it a site and a 1-step limit, I'll get the site and also any individual other webpage linked to somewhere on the original site. It doesn't do so well with modern sites that full of CDN-hosted content and pages that depend on data from two dozen different domains to function properly but it's great for old pre-web2.0 stuff.
So I like your details... so in this case, the "intake" being too fast results in the body storing the excess energy as fat.

Eddie Murphy is black. Like Kevin Hart is too. GLAAD and the left are very careful in calling out homophobic views of black people, and instead of calling for their resignation or "cancelation" as they would for a white person, they are instead demanding for "this to be a teachable moment"

The right approach to start fuzzing with AFL, to me, is to recycle existing unit tests or integration tests. In fact if you already have tests that create a record (sorry, struct or class instance), inject them in your part of your application, you're almost. Read your input data from a file and 'there' you go... Paralellizing or distributing an AFL session on dozens of machines is a matter of rsyncing some files.

Sanitizers are also very useful there in C/C++ languages because they're mostly runtime checks. In Ada you had them already for a long time, and you can be very through with your checks (see for example validity checks https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn/Validity-Checking.ht... , runtime stack size checks https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn/Stack-Overflow-Check... , and the very very powerful Initialize_Scalars that has saved me many times https://www.adacore.com/papers/exposing-uninitialized-variab... ).

Shameless plug, but if anyone is interested in an introduction to fuzzing (in Ada) I wrote something some time ago that could be useful : https://blog.adacore.com/running-american-fuzzy-lop-on-your-... .

I read this, and all through the article I kept waiting for the part where the author would talk about his own experience using his own product.

What I'm getting at is that, its really difficult to get people to love something you build unless you love it yourself, Seth Godin touches on this in his book "This is Marketing"

I like the data driven approach to product development, but sometimes passion trumps data, if you build something you yourself cannot live without, it's much easier to slowly win people over to your way of thinking.

And if you say to me "well he was the only one working on it", then my answer to you is like that punchline in the Famous "Coming to America" skit ...

"aha!"

It is infinitely better to work on problems that you have a firsthand understanding of/experience with otherwise you're always going to be depending on others for product insight, which is not terrible, but much much harder than when those insights come from you directly.

It's a file system and you are a completely anonymous hacker located anywhere on earth, not a physical hostage that the CIA could extract and shoot you in the head in the process. There's no incentive at all to follow through, you can lock it again and disappear into thin air if you wanted.
Cocoa provides exceptionally good graphics APIs that make it surprisingly fast and easy to churn out powerful graphic editing apps. Nothing else quite compares. The closest would probably be Skia or Cairo, neither of which is as easy to work with or does as much out of the box.

All currently big companies were once great places to work in. The constant need to grow to satisfy wallstreet (or their own Ego), makes them do shitty things like play games with Iknjet consumables.

It's worth noting that some email services automatically add such tracking pixels (usually marketed as "email open notification"). The user normally has the option to turn it off, but might not be fully aware that they are in effect violating the privacy of the email recipient and any places the email is forwarded.

It is pretty normal in the advertising world to use these features. Some mail clients (for example gmail) load these images without prompt by default (although they do so via an anonymizing proxy).

Not just that, it's probably just the surface (or near surface) that sublimes. The surface only increases with the square of the radius while the volume increases with the cube. so multiplying the volume by 27 only multiplies the surface by 9.

Yup. Good riddance to downtowns, to store owners who put their customer and employee needs before pure profit. Good riddance to community, to knowing your neighbor, to walking. Good riddance to sustainable pricing and sustainable wages.

Much better that we drive out of town to Walmart, pick up dinner at the drive-through, drive home, and never have to talk to anyone or walk on a sidewalk. Much better that the profits leave the town, the county, the state, and move to a corporate headquarters. Much better than the main economic center for a town is outside city limits so the city gets no tax revenue to maintain roads, schools, and water/sewer service. Much better that the taxpayers subsidize those rollback prices that force their employees onto food stamps and welfare checks. Much better that you can buy something so cheaply that when it breaks you just throw it in the ocean and buy another one.

Good riddance to America. The United States of Amazon is just so much more convenient.

> Why don't they just put seat numbers and dividers on the bins? Your luggage fits in your bin or it gets checked at $25.

a) Bags are different sizes so no way that would be efficient (dividers)

b) Not everyone has a bag that needs to go in the bin (who gets to use their space?)

c) There isn't enough space for everyone to have a bag is my guess evenly divided.

They could do a better job of keeping track who brings what on board but they are obviously trying to smartly avoid having negative interactions with passengers.

> Instead of everybody working together to make it smooth

Sure as soon as everyone else cooperates (which they won't) it's a great idea (and only an idea). What else in life with such a large number of people ever works this way?
FWIW, I think most American's know that it's easy to get a doctor to give you just about any drug without much proof of needing it. if you go to the right doctors, you are pretty much just paying them to write a prescription, not for the visit.
That's not very fair to a company that was one of the pioneers of a lot of the things we consider normal on today's software as a service.

>Considering you ask for a book for a "lay person" on "rigorous law", I don't think that was presumptuous at all. cormacrelf's point is that there is no such thing

i laid out exactly what i thought was presumptuous

1. that i'm cavalier

2. that i'm not comfortable with detail oriented analysis.

>"lay person" on "rigorous law"

there is no mention of rigor in cormacrelf's post. rigor and detail are not synonymous.

>If it's written for a layperson, it can't be rigorous

is this a feature of "the law"? i can point to many rigorous math books that do not require a specialists understanding of the math (read: they introduce all the necessary ideas).
But that just demonstrates why the existing process is poorly designed: it encourages wasteful activity: overloading the bins and randomly screwing people who board later, a mad fight to get in first when everyone leaves at the same time, and underusing the more efficient checked bag system.
After I. M. Pei's Death, Assessing His Built Legacy
For anyone who doesn't get it, the name and logo comes from the famous story where Henry Ford, maker of the Model T -- one of the first affordable automobiles, because it was made on an assembly line -- said "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black." This quote and assembly-line idea translate into the branding of this project. (The project logo is visually similar to the modern Ford company logo, but with the word Black instead of Ford.)
I'll give you two answers, one specific and one general. The specific answer: your post above already contained a good reply. The trouble was that it also broke the site guidelines. One can turn it into a good comment by editing those bits out. If I do that, this is what I get:

There's a difference between the government trying to take it by spying, and the government forcing you to give it away by contract as a condition of doing business. One you can take countermeasures against; one you can't.

That cuts not only the first two paragraphs, but also the flamey bits from the third ("Apparently you can't see" and "Hint:"). Doing all that yields a substantive, respectful reply. (I'm not considering whether it's a good argument here—just whether it's offside or not.) And of course it's fine to ask politely for the other person's source, or how they know what they claim.

The general answer: one good way to reply to a comment of the form "If you are in favor of A, then you must also favor X" is to mention significant difference(s) between A and X that show why A doesn't imply X. For example, something favorable in A that X lacks; or something unfavorable in X that A lacks. And to show why the difference is strong enough to break the assumed arrow from A to X.

There's an aspect to this that is unfair. pinkfoot's comment was pretty lazy (opting for snark and a drive-by rather than giving the reader enough information to really establish anything). If you're going to reply to a comment like that, the temptation is also to take the path of least resistance—for example, to vent, rather than to put much thought or work into a reply. The other person didn't put much thought or work into theirs, so why should you?

The answer is that you don't owe it to the other person, but to the general reader and the community. Your reply to such a comment will either raise the quality of the site or lower it. (Responding on the same level is lowering.) The two good options are: put in the thought and work to come up with a specific reply—cutting any flamey bits because by then you don't need them and they weaken your case anyhow—or, if you don't have the time and energy to do so, simply not to post.
