Depends on the country, I suppose. I'm having a hard time finding stats for US that compare underweight and overweight % of population in one study.

Anecdotal evidence from Europe: in our industry, culturally associated with obesity, I meet roughly equal amount of obese and underweight people. And I seriously doubt those underweight people spend time in the gym.
The fact that the circle is filled in means selected, and therefore share. I have no question about that. Name is selected here.

Pretty much every VPN service does. Every tech youtuber has one VPN service advertising with them. Along with cutting prices for viewers who use those links. I have to think it's a fairly solid sales model. The viewers would also line up with their best selling demographics.

I'm from the UK where elections are generally First past the post. In theory I can vote for whoever I want, in practice there are 2 parties who have a chance of winning so half the time I end up voting to keep the other one out. Its a democratic election, but I didn't really have a choice.

That's 2 counter examples to your reasoning.

It's like unfair contract terms. Ideally there would be no such thing, a contract is entered into freely by 2 parties, nothing should be unfair. In practise you need that protection.
I assume you're enough of an engineer to know that building an SSO service like this takes a lot of time and energy. Third party apps are exploiting loopholes in the system and Apple is closing those loopholes one-by-one. I don't think this is unnatural. No one has foresight.
I really think that this cycle the author describes isnt just aggravating, its fundamentally flawed. You never see if people are willing to pay what you believe your product is worth and cant tell if people are buying your service or buying a dollar for 95 cents. And you've anchored low prices into everyone's mind that then makes your product seem overpriced when you price it appropriately.

I dont think this article actually covers whether or not the service it is advertising plans to do the same.

This is operating on equal faith that immortality as a system wouldn't have ill effects that would cause society to collapse and progress regressed. (See: Behavioral Sinks [0]).

I find this post to be in bad faith evaluation of those making those arguments ('asking people to die out of fear').

Integration Test Hell and How to Fix It
I thought GM did a great job with the Volt. My Dad has one. He usually only drives around town, so he never needs gas. But the car has a range of 400+ miles on a full charge and tank of gas. He says the switch from the electric motor is seamless.

It seemed like it really solved the range issue while being a true “plug-in” electric vehicle for daily use.

I think he paid $33k.

It completely failed in the market.

Not sure what to make of that.

Here is an intermediate form theory I just came up with as I read your comment.

FALL SURVIVAL THEORY OF WING EVOLUTION

Any tree dwelling creature is at risk of falling and dying. Creatures that can better survive a fall (proto-wings, etc) have an improved chance of propagating this trait to off-spring. Furthermore, if they can better survive a fall they can risk higher climbs. The higher climbs make them better able to avoid predators and hunt prey further increasing selection pressure on fall survival and would dovetail nicely into gliding mutations. From there it is not a far jump to flying [pun intended].

No theory about the deep deep past can ever be certain. We weren't there to watch it happen.
It feels so cludgy to me to have to use a tool like pyenv just to reliably execute pyhthon code.
That's not the point though. Either they can offer privacy, and have a way by which the whims of the government cannot affect that, or they can't.
They’ve been building up to this point, taking this lead by presenting at EU data conferences in Brussels, and calling for stronger US data protection law.

Facebook on the other hand, has announced they are now a Privacy focused company (whilst appealing the Cambridge Analytica fine of £500k) and gearing up with legal teams. Not walking the walk.

I wouldn’t say they are a privacy-as-a-service company, I’d suggest they are a company that are future proofing their revenue streams by enforcing privacy rules on their development / APP environment.

Remember Apple control their environment. It’s a closed shop. So perhaps these changes are really protectionism against Regulation.
This is a matter of scale. The more interesting metric would be a per-store figure, where TJ and WF outsell CVS by a factor of 5–7x.[1] I'm surprised that it's not higher.

> The eyebrow-raising figure probably comes down to an issue of scale – last year CVS and Walgreens each had close to 10,000 stores in the US, while Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods each had fewer than 500 locations.

Show HN: Write Haskell-inspired smart contracts with open source DAML
Hey HN! This is Paul from Digital Asset’s developer community team. We have recently added a web-based IDE for DAML so people can now try it out without having to download the SDK. We’d love your feedback on the experience and the language! https://webide.daml.com/

Thanks to Bolek Wisniewski from the DAML language team for making this happen.

In case you’re not familiar with DAML, I have previously posted a few stories - it is basically an open source functional programming language designed specifically for use in coding multi-party business processes (‘smart contracts’ in the DLT space). In addition to using the new IDE you can download the DAML SDK, inspect and contribute to the source code, find fully-executed reference applications (also open source), and access the documentation from https://daml.com/.

DAML is very much a Haskell-inspired language, adding key language features (such as parties, signatories, and observers) that abstract away the underlying complexities of blockchains and database technologies. Because specifics of the underlying persistence mechanism are not exposed to the developer, applications built with DAML can run on a number of platforms, currently including VMware Blockchain, Hyperledger Sawtooth, and the Distributed Asset Canton ledger (https://www.canton.io/. More are in the works.

Interesting, I have had the exact opposite experience personally. I have used the customer service in the past to fix a problem I caused (payment related), and they were prompt and helpful. Not only that but I get the best speeds (300 Mbps) from them over any other VPN I have used, and my connection is rock solid.

This story doesn't make me happy with NordVPN or TordGuard as a service however.

> Well, Manning then chose to hack and was pardoned after way less than assange has been through, so how can assange possibly be so bad?

Maybe if Assange hadn't have been in hiding for the last seven years he would already have been through the same process of trial, conviction, prison and pardon that Manning has. He made the choice to do what he did, so you can't really compare the outcome of his situation with Manning's at all; I agree that his crime seems less serious than Manning's was, maybe it would all be over now had he not entered the embassy? It's entirely possible he would never have been charged with any crimes at all.
But that's censorship - and Apple are not aligning themselves to any "free speech" kinda line.

Which is a very unfortunately position to be in as a privacy conscious, price conscious consumer.

I'm in the market for a new phone, my current one being the iPhone 6s. And lots of android phones are appealing at the mid-range price bracket with features I want (headphone jack, no notch, etc). But at this price point I essentially have very little choice with Apple and it will be a compromise on features just to stay in the Apple ecosystem. I wish Apple would release a new version of the 5c but updated. They've shown some promise with the new Mac Pro, in that they have actually listened to what people wanted instead of telling them what they should want. Would be good to see them do that at the lower end of the scale with the phones.
You’ve diagnosed the problem well, but I don’t understand how that leads to “smaller government” being a solution. In many regards are relate to civic responsibility, India probably needs bigger government. They need it both to enforce the small laws (litter, traffic rules, safety regulations) as well as building the sustained infrastructure to make life more convenient (mass transit to deal with traffic, public housing so people aren’t in slums, sanitation services to clean up after everything, etc.) And then there is the need to create and maintain the public spaces to accommodate all these people, like parks and libraries.
Exactly. Theories are only useful as long as they predict right results. That’s what separates, say, the theory of common descent, from the current crop of theories about HOW flight evolved. They have ZERO predictive power. They are closer to “just-so” stories. Such theories should be rightly called unscientific compared to theories that have far more falsifiability and predictive power.

The difference between open source and free software is only ideological - you are probably thinking of shared source or source available.

Laos is quite locked down, beyond the internet. You technically can't form a group (e.g. a book club) there without the government's consent, and it is very hard for NGOs to operate. I would not be surprised at any level of internet censorship there, except that Vientiane is within cell distance of Thailand, so maybe that forces them open a little.
Isn’t this just a general SSO problem - I assume the same would happen if someone signs on with Google/Facebook/Twitter and is banned from one of those services?

Is the idea here that there’s a higher chance of this account type being banned without recourse because of the number and type of ecosystem interaction points (App Store, subscription services, etc.)?

The obvious "rational" security benefits to users are:

1) Gatekeeper makes it harder to run malware; unsigned executables don't run by default, and signed malware can have its developer keys revoked by Apple.

2) SIP makes it harder for malware to modify system files.

The obvious "rational" business benefit to Apple is that:

3) Gatekeeper makes it harder to sell Mac apps without Apple getting a 30% cut
Why do people actually want to root their phones? What kind of advantage does it give to the general user, who flaunts the fact you can do that on android? What can you do now, increasing the usability of a phone, that you couldn’t without a root?

Honest question, because I have absolutely no idea.
No idea what's up and down in the actual case, but I can, anecdotally, counter your experience with a wholly positive one from the other side of the fence:

I have a TorGuard account, and I use the VPN an awful lot - it's the default connection on the machine I'm currently writing on. Been using for a couple of years, and never once have I seen trouble or even inconvenience, save the obstacles a few sites choose to set up based an ip address. Nor with billing. They mail me an invoice. I pay. Stuff just works.
What? I guess you haven't seen normal people then. Compared to HN, normies seem to have "orthorexia" up to ridiculous levels. Hardly a day goes by without hearing a genpop opinion on what I or someone else should eat, or why $whatever-I-just-looked-at will give me cancer - all of it being regurgitated garbage from the magazines and news sites they read, without them realizing that those sources are not science, but entertainment.

(My gripe is less with individuals, who are inconsiderate - it's primarily with aforementioned entertainment sources that purposefully twist and misrepresent actual research and play on people's fears.)
That just illustrates my point. The ability to come up with THEORIES is not the same thing as validating SCIENTIFIC theories which are falsifiable. Just because it’s easy to come up with a theory off the cuff means there is a lot more work to do in actually explaining how something happened. Phlogiston and Luminiferous Ether were two theories in physics that actually had WAY MORE evidence for them than these, but turned out to be wrong.

What separates a mere theory from a scientifically validated theory is falsifiability and experiment:

I have enormous respect for the tank crew. In the preceding days and hours many of their comrades had been violently attacked by militarized protesters. Molotov Cocktails had been used to kill and maim other tank crews. The restraint those PLA officers showed in the face of (cia sponsored) adversity will go down as one of the greatest examples of military discipline in history.
