If China shut down apple then you would see company/capital flight from China like you've never before seen in history. The communist party is powerful but I doubt if they could handle a 20% spike in unemployment of some of the best jobs in the country.
We're interested in new truths. Old ones we already know.
Consumers have demonstrated repeatedly that they will react strongly to losing the option to do something even if they're not currently doing it.

And it's even worse coming from an ad company. Undermines trust massively, even for people who've never changed a default (no) privacy setting.
Ask HN: Should you ask for a salary range for a position upfront?
I understand that a company must give you a salary range for a position if you ask for it in California now. My question is if this is beneficial from a negotiation POV? And if it is, should you ask earlier in the recruitment process or later?
I think what you're diligently sussing out here is the HN crowd believes they are perfect rational and logical decision makers but are actually, just as everyone else, driven by their biases.
How Many Bones Would You Break to Get Laid?
Yeah, it seems like there's always this split on every Hacker News thread about Firefox.

Personally, I've use Firefox as my primary browser since before I started using Macs, and after 6 different Macs between home and work, I've never had any problems with it.
There's a long sliding scale from "knows how to use most features of the new software" to "uses every single feature maximally and never, ever presses the wrong hotkey because an old muscle memory happened to fire". I don't think the latter is a reasonable bar to set for "get used to the new software".

Then again maybe I'm being unfair here because if I'm really honest about it, the reason I didn't switch over to Chrome was that you couldn't start an in-page text search by hitting the / key like I was used to doing in Firefox. (I've since found many other reasons to keep using Firefox but at one stage that was the sticking point...)
I’ve had a good experience with the 2016 and now the 2018. Didn’t have any keyboard issues, fortunately.

This is one of my concerns ever since the first app asked for my contacts.

You could be a mountain man and value your privacy.... but if you just know someone who uses tech you are exposed in any number of ways.

In the US things like third-party doctrine have not aged well in the information age as just communicating with people can expose you in ways you can't ever control.
As someone who grew up in a former socialist state, I mostly understand the distinction. But you gotta admit that the only countries so far that have attempted outright socialism were/are all communist as well.
Hilarious: in the US, Larry Bird a guy who has not played ball in almost 30 years (!) is still way more popular than Larry Page. At least according to G trends.

The the OPs point however, Wikipedia is a special place.
Apple phones do not use ARM-designed processors. They just implement the same instruction set. If it’s possible for Apple to develop a mobile processor independently of ARM, why shouldn’t it be possible for Intel?

NTFS doesn't care if you have a file called "con", e.g. in PowerShell you can do:

New-Item -ItemType File -Path "\\?\d:\con"

and get "D:\con", where you can't create it directly as "D:\con". It's the Win32 API which intercepts "con" for backwards compatibility, because it was a meaningful name in MS-DOS. But it's fine as a filesystem path.

There's other fun Windows/NTFS Path things here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17307023 and Google Project Zero's deep dive into Win32 and NT path handling: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-definitiv...
As a vegan, I’m not surprised. We all have to get our vitamin b12 from functional food because it would otherwise naturally occur on the foods we eat from bacteria. Our foods are sterile and thus the bacteria never deposit b12 for us. There’s probably much more we don’t know about.
If you're American they seem to be understood as being synonymous, and US sites will often explain or discuss them incorrectly from that assumption they describe the same thing. In Europe they manage to remain mostly distinct.
I'm curious about this too. Amazon mistakenly sent me an echo 2 instead of a dot. They refunded me the cost of the dot, but apparently the echo serial number was reported lost/stolen in their system so it is unusable. They told me to just throw it out, but seems like a waste of perfectly good hardware.
> The results suggest that 277 cases of cardiovascular disease would arise each year in 100,000 heavy consumers of ultra-processed foods, versus 242 cases in the same number of low consumers.

So, one is 14% more likely. But at 0.242% and 0.277% chance the correlation seems unusual to even mention.

I’m not a statistician. Is this typical of such studies?
That's true, besides NoScript then it's difficult to deal with canvas fingerprinting.. I do follow/use most of the settings/addons recommended at https://restoreprivacy.com/firefox-privacy/

In any case then I still think the goal should be to recommend AdNauseam to as many people as possible, because it does work against most ad networks, especially when it's accompanied by extensions such as Privacy Badger that will block a lot of tracking domains.

Even the most sceptic users (with regard to AdNauseam's ability to hurt user tracking ad networks) will still benefit from using AdNauseam as an alternative to uBlock Origin, because uBlock Origin is still running under-the-hood. There's nothing to lose and a lot to gain, especially when we in the future figure out how to defeat canvas fingerprinting without disabling JavaScript.
Unlike what Sprint did when it bought Nextel, when T-mobile bought MetroPCS, it rapidly shit down MetroPCS’s network and integrated it with its own. MetroPCS wasn’t just an MVNO. I would think T-mobile would do the same with Sprint.
Is there any actual difference between the two beyond UI and sync? From what I understand they're both safari underneath?

I've heard from my friends who were part of the first iteration of Green Peace that they would use the I Ching to search for whalers, once all of their other options were exhausted. They swear up and down that it worked for them and they found a lot of ships that way.
Can I install android apps on my iPhone? Automakers like BMW have cut out people like Dinan when they locked down their firmware and refused to work with them.

Alpine and Pioneer probably make replacements for Uconnect (iPhone) but it is not even close to the integration I get with my Jeep and Uconnect.
All the moving pieces in Intel x86-to-RISC decoding (instruction decoder, μop cache, Microcode Sequencer ROM...) use up a non-trivial amount of silicon and power.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of example including wahaha-danone etc.

Don't get me wrong, China did it well to carve back it's status and didn't get colonized by US, but sooner or later the other parties naturally get angry if piggy-backing goes too far. It's the same in friendship, if your friend is mean once doesn't matter, but if he always take away more then what he is giving then the relationship will break down eventually.

Sounds like they're partially vetted, to at least prevent sockpuppeting and Sybil attacks and the like.
As the article points out, induced labor provides an element of choice with regards to birth.

That sounds more like an issue of not correctly communicating the detected problem to the humans.

In any event, the situation where the humans aren't processing the data correctly and doing illogical things as a result would always lead to failure outcomes, until the point where we no longer allow humans to be pilots/operators at all.
If you read my original comment you'll see I am not actually calling for censorship. I am calling for any developers responsible for providing Gab with technical assistance to re-evaluate what they are doing with their skills. It's a matter of professional ethics and it matters quite a bit to me. If they are helping Gab in any capacity they either agree with the content on it, or are taking a cynical payday. Either way its repulsive and it needs to be called out.

While we are on the subject of censorship: yes people with vile viewpoints exist. Yes they have a right to express those viewpoints. NO a platform does not have to help them spread said viewpoints. I would like to remind you that Gab is a _business_, not a government. They are under no obligation to honor the 1st amendment. It's no different than places like Hacker News which heavily moderates its content. Codes of conduct exist for a reason and it is to protect the vulnerable. If you don't feel that deeply in your bones it's likely because you aren't a member of a demographic that is under threat.

Gab, by its very existence and prominence legitimizes racism, nazism, sexism, violence, etc. It creates a community and a sense of moral righteousness around it. People are _dying_ and the country is on the brink of chaos. We can't ignore this threat any longer. Gab _can_ in fact moderate hate speech on their platform. They just don't either because they believe it or because it's profitable. Either way I hope their business dies and they go broke because what they are doing is wrong.
Yeah I know, it was in jest, as a reminder as to the practices of Oracle. Also most consumers do use the JRE, and the size of the audience is what Oracle would make decisions on.
> They pretty much demanded a separate cellular R&D team (QCT) that duplicates half the effort.

They could have formed a joint venture with other manufacturers to split the development costs.
>It’s my own shortcoming

Physiologically, there's comfort in knowing that your community and government has your back. Increased depression rates, mental health issues rising, and social isolation is a result of living in a Neo-liberal multicultural society. Living in this society where your personal value is based from how much you earn gives arise to a vapid nihilistic existence. When your government doesn't back its residents and its culture, and is forced to belong to everyone to appease international corporations. You can't even feel loyal to organizations that once paid you, or your country you grew up in.

This might sound like a hard left wing or right wing rant. But a feeling of belonging (either to companies, nations, or relgion) is important for many people. This is disappearing from western society.
> The actual answer has a lot to say about the impossibility of rational economic calculation under socialism (and also the lesser but still important problem under capitalism of mispricing in the presence of externalities and the difficulty of aligning private and social incentives.)

It's refreshing to hear such a frank statement of the problems with pure communism and pure capitalism in the same sentence.

Sounds like they're partially verified. Does that change you how you feel about this at all?
Intel has a track record of selling off assets that end up being valuable in the future.
Not sure if this is too far off topic or if I'll get roasted for this. "Cup of Jane" is the kind of title that's so awfully on the nose that I'd mistake it for satire.
Collaboration and Credit Principles
Nevertheless, it was an interesting tangent. Hadn't heard about that word usage previously.
If a legitimate news source was aware of its own institutional biases, it would actively seek to avoid indulging them, at least with respect to news reporting, as opposed to editorial pieces. That's what makes it a relatively legitimate source of relatively unbiased information.

If I was aware that I had some bias about anything, I would actively seek to counteract it. I would hope that anyone would. A bias is an inherently irrational thing. A bias is like a bug in someone's mind that by definition causes them to misinterpret things that happen in real life. A bias isn't one person caring more about something than someone else does, or one person liking something that another person doesn't like. A bias is something that gets in the way of someone perceiving reality.

If some news outlet posted a big long public statement of bias, why would anyone go to them for accurate information about anything related to that publicly stated bias? If some business news site had a statement of bias in which they came out and said that they were all total fanboys of some company and that they personally owned a lot of stock in it, but then they continued to write stories about that company and making buy or sell recommendations, I would disregard anything that news site published about that company. Wouldn't you? They'd be coming out and saying that they are putting a slant on their stories that makes them less accurate and truthful, and that they've chosen to embrace it rather than squash it.

But really the biggest problem with a purported purveyor of truth and facts about the world telling everyone what their bias is, is that nobody really knows what their biases are. Even less than they know what other people's biases are. That's why they're biases. They're things that color your perceptions and make them less accurate and real, that you aren't aware of. If you were aware of them, then presumably they would stop influencing you, because you could then make a conscious effort to squash them.

Example: if someone were molested by gerbils at a very young age, they might have violent impulses towards gerbils later in life but not know why. Once they realize that they are biased against gerbils, surely they would use that knowledge to contain their irrational and awkwardly murderous impulses when encountering gerbils as an adult. A few people might instead double (or triple, or quadruple) down on their gerbil hatred, fully embracing their bias rather than rejecting it. But those are usually the sociopaths- there's always going to be some.
Coldstart will be gone very soon—- you probably will be paying a little more though
A lot of maternity wards will try to avoid booking inductions on public holidays, because they will have fewer staff to deal with the spontaneous births on the day.
Why do rich people lie, cheat and steal more than those on low incomes?
That's true. But I support socialist policies around things like education and healthcare. Heck, the public education system in the United States /is/ socialist. But good luck getting a politician to admit that.

Anyway, my point is that systems like single-payer healthcare is certainly a socialist policy, but I don't think calling it a communist policy would be accurate.

I could be wrong, but it seems like socialism is more about the application of tax dollars towards social security programs, whereas communism is a form of rules and organization imposed on the private market. I'm probably oversimplifying it, though.
Basically, socialism is a transition to communism [0], and so they are viewed as gradations of the same ideology. The idea is that communism is workers controlling the means of production, but there must be an intermediary where the government owns the means of production (defined above as "revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat", but marx was a cynic and believed revolution was an absolute, and dictatorship of the proletariat is basically direct democracy without regard to the constitution).

You won't lock yourself out. I just did a quick test and if you reset your password (via an email link) then you are automatically logged in. At this point you can even disable 2FA. So 2FA is protecting against logging in with a stolen password, but it's not protecting against logging in if you have access to the account's email account.

Whether or not that's the intended behaviour is another question...
Look in my posting history and you'll see plenty of whining about Google (and other tech company's) bulk collection of data. This should give you a feeling why - someone actually looking at a post history is considered intrusive and overstepping a mark.

Let alone if that wasn't freely posted in public, but instead gathered surreptitiously and correlated from many sources over much time.
yeah but blacklisting or at least conscious degradation is necessary. hit that with a game I built, had to degrade the experience on chrome/iOS because of the non-accelerated canvas element
>The real issue is a patent system that allows someone to refuse to license a patent.

One solution (suggested in the book "Radical Markets" - http://radicalmarkets.com/ ) is pretty straightforward: charge a yearly tax of around 7% on the patent equal to whatever the patent owner claims it is worth, with the caveat that they MUST sell the entire patent to whoever is willing to pay the claimed "value" of said patent - this prevents under-pricing AND over-pricing and ensures maximal societal benefit of said government-granted monopoly.

The book goes into a lot more detail, and the authors have good solutions for the more obvious arguments against such a scheme.

Well, yes. There’s a reason sandboxing is coming more and more to the desktop.
I saw something interesting the other day which pointed out that the meaning of "socialist" to America's political left, in 2019, is very different from its original meaning. Today people use it when talking about very basic social programs like public health care and regulated employment benefits. Because we're at a point now where even those fundamental protections are considered "extreme". Originally the word's meaning was much closer to that of "communist", which is probably the source of the miscommunication.
I don't think this "blunte" guy really quite understands what people in the cell phone industry mean when they say that Qualcomm had a stranglehold on everything.

They mean everything. Every thin dime spent anywhere you care to spend it. There really exists nothing else quite like Qualcomm around out there. We tend to throw the monopoly word around so loosely that we start to equate things like Apple and Qualcomm. It really does make it difficult to try to generate support to dig out from under abusive companies like Qualcomm when they have an army of people out there advancing the narrative that they are no different than any other company.

Meanwhile real engineers are losing their livelihoods by the thousands when companies succumb to the Qualcomm chokehold. Then a lot of those engineers have to go work for Qualcomm. Etc etc, on and on. It's sad.
This is what I mean by an attitude that doesn't contribute anything to the discussion at hand. They announced this change in October, and implemented it in December.[1] I don't understand why you were unable to make alternate arrangements in that time. It feels like you're going out of your way to find something to be angry about.

In addition:

>Firefox will tell you when support for Live Bookmarks has ended and will do the following:

>Automatically export all existing Live Bookmarks to an OPML file on your desktop named Firefox feeds backup.opml which you can import into another feed reader.

>Live Bookmarks will be turned into regular static bookmarks if Firefox can identify the URL. If the URL doesn't exist, the original Live Bookmark is removed.

>ESR version 60 will support the built-in feed reader and live bookmarks features. Support for these features will be removed in October 2019, when ESR 60 is no longer supported.[2]

So, what would suggest instead of (or in addition to) providing months of warning, automatic export, and extended support that will continue for another 4-5 months?
