The problem with having one monster make system is that code changes (adding a new dependency) affect build rules indirectly (the build of a test of a downstream library now needs to add a new include search path in a topologically correct way). Now, there are various DRY ways to model that sort of thing in make. But very quickly, the project is no longer an intuitive expression of allegedly simple make. It is a build framework written in make.

Nobody denies that Make can model all this. CMake and autoconf actually embrace that quality of make. The concern is that turning "depend on libfoobar.a" or "libfizzbuzz.a now requires FIZZBUZZ_STRING=std::string" into a coherent Makefile change is more often nontrivial, especially without breaking parallelism, correctness, or the ability to do incremental builds.
If you start the app (Bose Connect, iOS), there's a setting called "Privacy Policy & Settings". There's one option there, which disables "Share data with Bose". I'm not saying that everyone will find it, but at least it's a solution for people that read Hacker News and wants to keep using the app.
Front- and back-end are very different things. I’ve worked with some brilliant engineers who couldn’t make a serviceable UI to save their lives, never mind the intricacies of overall user experience.

The concept of "fallacies" is somewhat overdone, to the point where I'm tempted to coin the "fallacy fallacy".

They are used far too often to shut down some debate: Oh, you want to do this yourself? Not-Invented-Here-Syndrom! Oh, you want to buy from a reputable vendor? Appealing to authority!

I believe the "appeal to authority" fallacy is especially misguided: it's impossible to verify every statement we rely on from first principle. At some point, when the New York Times has an article highlighting the benefits of vaccinations, while @TheyAreTryingToKillYou241234 on twitter says the MMR vaccine will cause your kids to grow a second head, it is perfectly fine, or even necessary, to consider the source of some information as evidence in evaluating it.

This mechanism, of evaluating sources of time and establishing trust, is so pervasive we tend not to even notice it. You are far more likely to hand your car keys to your spouse when asked than to a random stranger.
It seems like the answer to the article's headline should be something like: "Not all that much because 1930's Germany was very, very different from the US today."

We would probably learn more by simply comparing these upcoming regulations to real US regulations on the radio, television and cable industries over the last 75 years.

> Are we to apply the same logic to how advertising made me feel a certain way leading to a purchase u wouldn't otherwise have made?

I agree with your point about there being a line, but: YES!! ! Advertising has gone too far and is now squarely behind that line.

There is an all out war on our brains going on, and we are losing. Modern advertising and "engagement optimisation" is overwhelmingly insiduous and pernicious. People openly lecture about hacking faults in human psychology to make us buy more and pay higher prices, not to mention the new wave of shameless tracking and targeting. It does not move humanity closer to the stars.

Long live price and value based competition. Down with competition based on dirty psychological tricks.

It's a distraction from your main point, sorry for that. I couldn't let slip the opportunity for a call to arms against advertising.

The other area they can't complete is on variable or disaster recovery scenarios, the sort where you'll reserve CPU instances, but only spin them up for your heavy load parts of the day or when you have an unexpected migration. And when you're not using them, AWS puts them on their spot market.

Article 23 and the National Anthem Bill were both directly related to the issue of separatism. If by customs officials you're referring to the high-speed rail station, then that's an overblown issue.

The pressuring of the book sellers to go to China was indeed a very troubling incident. But the general, widespread control of Hong Kong politics by the central government that many people imagine is not there, and almost all of these issues are about the central government not allowing separatists to gain power in Hong Kong (e.g., the entire fight over who can run for the Chief Executive position). Something that is often ignored in these discussions is that under British rule, Hong Kongers has almost no say in their government, and that they now actually have much more say.
A few options: wait to start a business (what most people should probably do), get friends and family to invest (this is a good way to lose friends & family), make money the old fashioned (hint: it involves earning it). You also have the option to borrow money using credit cards, but I recommend against this. You could sell your $100,000 Magic The Gathering card collection on eBay, too.

Or do what I did... after you max out your credit cards, use money you saved up to pay for taxes to fund a business, run out of money, and end up homeless with $200,000 in debt (including student loans).

You have also just discovered why there are early stage investors. If you create an app has some potential to make billions that attracts millions of active users in a month, but doesn't make a dime now, no bank will lend you money the 16 million USD you need to keep building that. But if you convince a tier 1 VC (Accel, Sequoia, A16Z, etc.), to invest 12 million, an early stage bank might lend you 4 million USD, using your big pile of VC money to secure the loan. Just remember that raising money the first time is super hard. You can easily run out of real money by spending too much time trying to raise money (which will suck extra bad if you are living off the money you set aside to pay taxes).

Or you can just say "fuck it", go for it, and hope for the best. When I was homeless, I kept hustling, managed to get my hands on a check for $5000, turned that into a business with 15 employees and sound it a couple years later, and sold it for $200,000. You can read a very polished version of that story in my LinkedIn profile (link in my HN profile).

How so? I get that going the route of Python and Lua and using a general purpose data structure for the environment isn't optimal. But g-fu exposes the already existing environment as a separate type, the only thing it knows how to do is map symbols to values and access is restricted to a few special forms just like any regular Lisp enviroment.

Well, context oriented programming is all about separating the system into layers of behavior that may be flexibly and conveniently composed to get the right mix of functionality. Which is exactly what g-fu is doing with first class environments.

Collatz conjecture a.k.a. 3n and 1 problem
In researching what we can do about climate change, the most convincing proposed policy solution I've seen comes from the Citizen's Climate Lobby -- a Carbon Fee and Dividend (https://citizensclimatelobby.org/basics-carbon-fee-dividend/), which I learned about while reading "Being the Change" by Dr. Peter Kalmus.

Basically, it's a plan for a carbon tax along with a rebate program (similar to UBI in my opinion) so that the least well off financially don't get crushed by things like higher gas prices.
For the first few years of its life, Google (nee BackRub) was a business-model-less company that just ran a search indexer. They looked like they were heading toward the Inktomi model of selling their compiled search-index (or access to their index data warehouse) to companies to use. Google Ads came later, and was honestly quite a shock to everyone who was telling their friends that Google is an unalloyed good as the new AltaVista.
Critical to finding the source of these emissions is first establishing who smelt it.

I don't think tracking adtech is a fine business model, but I'm inclined to favor technical solutions over legislative ones. There are several reasons, including: technical solutions are available to everyone, not just specific regions; technical solutions evolve and respond quickly to a changing environment; technical solutions offer users more direct control over what they will accept; technical solutions are not coercive or backed by the threat of violence.
I don't think it's the fact that it's constant, as it's predictable - you know when the tides will happen, unlike wind where you might have a week of low wind.

Which, IIRC, is because having BLE access equates to having location permissions, in the sense that you can reconstruct someone’s location from the BLE tags (Bluetooth MAC addresses) you sense, using location correlates of those tags in a separate database you’ve purchased. (This is equivalent to how phones reconstruct their location—in absence of GPS signal—using a wi-fi SSID triangulation database.)

Due to the bad layering of the BLE model it’s next to impossible to actually hide from the app the data of what peers are around the device, while still allowing the app to communicate over BLE. This isn’t true of regular Bluetooth, but BLE is solving a harder problem, sort of like how WebRTC is solving a harder problem than HTTP.

Still, you’d hope they’d come up with some way to obscure the peer BT MAC addresses or something. Maybe an approach like Apple used with device IDs, where each app sees the device ID hashed with a per-app salt—each app would see a separate list of virtual BT MACs that, when it sent messages to, the OS would translate back to the real MACs. Like BT “file handles”, almost.

The most impactful, single action any of us need to take is breaking the stronghold that fossil fuel interest have in politics.

You don't have to guess, that's happening right now in Canada. A conservative leadership candidate (Michael Chong) was practically laughed off the stage in a leadership race for pushing a carbon-taxes-fund-income-tax-cut platform. Centrist provincial governments are falling like dominoes to conservatives who promise to fight against the federal carbon tax and have functionally no plans to fight climate change.

And this is liberal, polite, progressive Canada, doing a case-study in how Conservatives fight against even the most conservative of carbon pricing policies.
I use a credit card that at this point has a $30K lending limit to fund things like hardware purchases. I suspect you'll hear something similar from most small outfits, since it's essentially impossible to get a bank loan at this size.
A fallacy I've noticed often in sw engineering, and might fall under the nirvana fallacy definition, is the assumption that there is one best tool for doing things- the one that supports the largest amount of use cases.

An metaphor I like to use is that of the software engineer buying a tank instead of a car: fits more people, drives on all terrain, basically indestructible, and in case an enemy is blocking the road you can always shoot it from the turret. Of course, it's horrendously expensive, wildly impractical, and you have to demolish your garage and rebuild it to fit it in, but hey, that was the best choice.

This is why I firewall my phone, so when Bose (that e.g. as the app to fine tune the frequencies etc) is installed, I immediately "block all" on mobile data and Wifi, so even if the app does want to 'speak' to someone, ET won't phone-home.

On android devices one (at least on my Huawai)(to the degree that I trust the Settings) can regulate whether an app has connectivity. I block 90% of my apps completely (e.g. workout apps, or an offline Chess app)

I feel it's false equivalence to consider the "engineering" required to build bridges and buildings vs. coding websites and mobile apps. Mind you, those fields of traditional engineering have hundreds, perhaps thousands of years of experience (read: disasters) to draw upon. Software engineering is barely 50 years old - the equivalent of mud huts, straw roofs and ropes & plank bridges in construction. Like with anything else, these things takes time to mature.
Which I would, by the way, totally love to do. It's kind of like the fad among some early- to mid-20th Century writers of using only words of Germanic derivation. I love quirky, old-fashioned language.

> Global direct greenhouse gas emissions from transportation versus livestock represent 14 versus 5 percent respectively.

The FAO's latest number for livestock emissions is 14.5% when considering the full life-cycle. It doesn't matter that we don't have a full life-cycle analysis for transportation - that doesn't change the number for livestock. The author tries to dismiss the 14.5% because "[transportation might be a bigger culprit]" and talks about "unringing" the bell on the FAO report simply because of a correction from 18% to 14.5%, which seems a bit of an overstatement.

On top of this, new (2017) data seems to suggest that our predictions of livestock emissions were too low:

> Using the new emissions factors, we estimate global livestock emissions of 119.1 ± 18.2 Tg methane in 2011; this quantity is 11% greater than that obtained using the IPCC 2006 emissions factors, encompassing an 8.4% increase in enteric fermentation methane, a 36.7% increase in manure management methane, and notable variability among regions and sources.
