What data is are you accusing Apple of collecting?

Apple is known to be “anti consumer”?
Is it time for piracy of ostensibly free content? Just so that we can protect ourselves, and perhaps our children from large scale tracking? Any injected adverts into the content stream would either become static, or removed by the release group. Imagine, pirated text content of blogs, just to get away from the new web.

The alternative is ToR, i2p or other anonymising web services simply to make the tracking model unviable. What was once a mechanism for persons in oppressed countries and criminals, actually becoming the web of choice to stay out of the tracking traps.

Edit: Just wanted to add, the way Stallman gets websites delivered to him via email and an external scraping system.
It has zero output days. If only because storms can blow off the blades if you don't feather them.
Parent made broad claims without evidence. Maybe those convinced you. They did not convince me. If you cannot respect that then what is the point of a discussion?

Also, I said I want "some objective proof". You twisted that into "complete proof". Its funny that you are doing the exact thing you're accusing me of.

That would have been a criminal waste of a very valuable pair of matched ASCII brackets. C++ ran out of ASCII brackets (because of using them for blocks), was forced to co-opt inequality operators for templates, and has suffered from terribly fragile syntax as a result.
I let my kids try out YouTube kids and I thought all the content was total garbage. Mostly toy unboxing videos, video game walkthroughs, and creepy knockoffs of cartoons they liked. Deleted it very quickly. We stick to DVDs and Netflix now.

Yeah, I see all these companies with open plan hell pits claiming to be a "Great place to work!", and I have to say "Compared to what, a sweatshop in the third world?"

The commutes are awful, the parking is expensive or non-existent, the office is noisy and crowded, the culture is repressive, the compensation is below market, but they all claim to be voted "Best workplace" or "Top ten place to work" or some such.
An official "EOL" from the Python Benevolency doesn't mean Python 2 has reached the end of its life. There's too many projects out there using it for the same reasons this one is, i.e. "Because I started this project in 2011, though, with Python 2, you will need Python 2".

Both Python 2 and Python 3 will continue to exist for active projects for a long time yet. All programming languages have this issue, though many try to hide it, such as Apache Groovy.

In 2012, Groovy 2 shipped as two separate compilers bundled together, one was a continuation of Groovy 1 and the other was the new edition with the invoke-dynamic capabilities. A few weeks ago, the Groovy Committee decided to keep these separate in the bundle for the upcoming Groovy 3 release, add the new features such as the parser upgrade from Antlr 2 to Antlr 4 to the invoke-dynamic compiler only, and keep the other compiler (the one actually used by Gradle and Jenkins and everyone else) at the Groovy 1 capabilities.

So virtually everyone will be using the old antlr2 parser and slower dynamic function dispatches in Apache Groovy for a long time yet, something which the Groovy project managers are deliberately doing to cater for all the legacy Groovy code out there.
I think adoption is great! I don’t think it’s as good as a natural parent child relationship but certainly better than day care.

Yes, this 100%. It was fun (and kind of hilarious) to have an old Dell PowerEdge Server in your dorm room back in college, when power was free. (And, in my case, mostly generated by dams, so not that bad for the environment.)

Keeping one in your house would be ridiculous and loud, though. Mine actually required two power cables! I ended up pawning it off to a friend for $20, who pawned it off to one of his friends for $20, and so forth. I wonder where it is now.

>HN

Good joke. First of all, this site actively tries to ban political discussion. Second, it's tiny in comparison to YouTube.

>reddit

Maybe. Definitely far up there, and a good candidate for being regulated.

>twitter, facebook

Agreed, should be regulated like youtube.

>instagram

Very little political content from what I know, but I don't know much about it.

>voat

Ya, OK. Smaller than HN.

>tumblr, livejournal

Small compared to YouTube/Facebook/Twitter

>gab

>Define "substantial part".

90% of all views of some particular type of political media, e.g. videos produced by people not associated with corporate owned media outlets. So if YouTube serves 40% of those views, and Facebook serves 30%, and Twitter serves 20%, then regulate those three.

> I would argue that it is not at all substantial and the evidence is on my side.

You keep suggesting that the amount of non-political content on YouTube somehow reduces the effect of the political content on YouTube. What is your reasoning behind that bizarre suggestion?
Grin: Whole program optimizer for lazy and strict functional languages
Not all of them are actively abusing citizens or running protection, but the thin blue line means even the "honest" ones tolerate it.

If I were to look the other way while my coworkers abused or stole from people, I would at the very least expect to be fired and not trusted with similar responsibility again. That is what a normal citizen looks like, and I don't think a normal citizen attitude could survive in a cop shop.

There is the additional problem that your criminal cops (and we both know there are plenty of them) don't exactly wear identifying tags, so I have no way of knowing which are which. That means my only strategy is to minimize contact with and distrust all of them.

This is simple: if you want people to respect and work with the police, stop protecting the bad ones.
The GPS receiver isnt' sufficiently accurate for one point to be useful, but in aggregate, it was accurate 'enough'.

So although the numerical precision is pretty high, the actual accuracy is pretty low, I think I pulled all the points from 2am-6pm in the final time stamp to figure out where the phone was.
Based on your description, I'd call it "murder", though I suspect a lawyer would have more techinical terminology - and probably also bad news related to bullshit waivers and/or the Dutch legislature.

Phrases like "tortured to death" are somewhat excessive, but mainly because it sounds more like gross incompetence and depraved indifference than active malice.

I haven't bothered investigating enough to have a opinion on whether your description is accurate though.
The point is that on Android and other platforms, you can get your location (or install an app, etc.) without telling anybody, while the supposedly privacy-focused Apple will only give you privacy if you essentially don't use your phone.
He's dismissing it by saying people who can't come up with $400 in cash, can put it on their credit cards or borrow it from friends or family. That's pretty dismissive because the issue is that most people doing even reasonably well should really should be able to pay an emergency $400 bill in cash.
"Fungible" means that one unit is replaceable by any other unit. You have a dollar? Do you really care if I swap that for a different dollar? No, you really don't.

It's the same with kilowatt-hours. I don't care where it came from as long as it's 1) available and 2) within spec.

Alex Jones’s influence has only grown. He was just on Joe Rogan’s podcast a few weeks ago.

Deplatforming just removes it from the view of people who don’t want to see it anyway.
+1. Honestly, if I go to the gym it's because I want someone else to tell me what to do, and for the social aspect, not because my home setup isn't sufficient (bench, adjustable DBs, stationary bike, rowing machine, medicine balls, slides, resistance bands, TRX, bosu).
This wasn’t a forensic extraction of data from a recovered hard drive, it was a drag net across email server, file servers, content management systems, wikis, phone records, written notes … basically every form of communication that left any trace.

The ABC staff literally copied all the stuff that might be interesting (found using keyword searches) into a folder, which the ABC legal and AFP investigators went through one by one to determine what was of interest to AFP. The items of interest was then copied to a “sealed” package which the AFP pinky swears nobody will look at for two weeks while the ABC seeks an injunction.
Ad hominem is another way of saying "this person has a valid point."
At first blush, I don't think this would work quite right because the last ten bytes of the sector would have some content (e.g., zero bytes or some other data from the original sector).

Discipline. For every one for whom (they believe) remote work unburdens them of social interaction and unwanted stimuli ergo unleashing a Jedi flow state of crazy creativity and productivity...there are others for whom this idea doesn't hold up...like at all. They are more distracted, aloof, and frankly they try to do just enough to somewhat register as a viable employee. They don't engage unless engaged, and they tell a lot of stories when pressed as to why assignment X is still incomplete. Were they working furiously but blocked by A,B,C? Maybe...who knows...all I can say is the lack of proximity _does_ embolden those who are inclined to be lazy and full of excuses. Some at least marginally productive employees do go full on dead weight under these circumstances, IMO.

Anecdotal...but that's par for the course in this thread.
It's not remotely the same people who buy $10k regular bikes. I'd guess the cross-section of those two populations almost don't intersect at all.
See the sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20109564
This was just a draft. The Centre keeps getting drafts of various policies every single day. Most of them never see the light of the day.

Drafts are made to get people talking about and changes are made as necessary. An example of that is the Net Neutrality draft that was changed radically. Even the "Free basics" program which was part of the initial draft and was removed in the final policy.

These are drafts made at committee level that shouldn't be taken seriously. Only after the Government vets such drafts and puts out a call for "public opinions" would the the draft be finalised into a policy. The State Governments basically preempted the Government's intention. This is what is dangerous. If the State Government starts cornering the Central Government over committee level drafts then it creates a situation where the Government wouldn't even make public any draft policy fearing backlash. Instead have patience and see what the Central Government does with the drafts. All policies go through a call for "public opinion" and until and unless all issues related to public opinion are not taken into account it won't be finalised into a policy.
>If you're scared that you'll die because your doctor thinks you're cis, tell them you're trans.

I'm more scared that my doctor will know I'm trans but not give me proper treatment as a result of being scared of losing their career to backlash from the politically correct. It's a far more realistic fear than my doctor not knowing my gender and it isn't something that would be brought up because it is a taboo to ask someone their "real gender".

I'm happy to expand on this if necessary, but this fear of social backlash has already caused problems in other fields of work such as policing certain minority groups in the U.K. It isn't too large a stretch to see it impacting healthcare.

This is all a bit besides the point though. The point is there are many physiological differences between trans-women and women and that trying to conflate the two as being equal actively harms both groups. It's a social feel-good statement said by people who's identity is more important to them than reality and any of the negative externalities caused when adhering to their view of the world.

As far as I am concerned, letting trans-women compete in any physical sport against cis-women is harmful to women and the concept of women's sports. There are biological reasons many sports are segregated by gender. I don't care if this hurts any feelings because it's reality and it is harmful to people to ignore reality just to avoid hurting some feelings.

That is a book that, even in the third edition, has a paragraph that disparages random testing.

It's difficult for me to see how, in the era of jsfunfuzz, Csmith, AFL, and other such tools, such a source should be taken seriously.

Fortunately, you aren't in the medical field, and no ones life relies on what you "care" about.
I guess if you have military vehicles running frequently in the vicinity, you might have bigger problems than disgusting diesel fumes...
The fundamental distinction is government vs private.

Police carry weapons that can kill, and have jails that can lock you up for a long time.

Youtube has none of those negative things. They have positive things: great technology and a huge audience. The worst they can do is deny you access to those.

In general, you're not owed an audience. The police won't bring you an audience for your protest, and Youtube won't bring you an audience for your videos unless they want to.
I think a (slightly) more common expression would be "nec plus ultra".
History Professor banned from YouTube because he had clips of Nazi Propaganda
Sticker price is for rich kids. Normal people require need-based financial aid to afford 4-year degrees. The federal government computes an "expected family contribution" based on your parent's finances, and your scholarships and loans are sized accordingly. An 18-year-old from a middle-class background would have an EFC far greater than she could pay out of pocket, and to borrow it she'd need her parents to cosign. Actually, without their cooperation she couldn't even get the EFC, since they need to open their books and sign the FAFSA. She'd be staring down sticker price on her own.

Not even emancipation can break the link. She'd have to provide a documented history of child abuse, serve in the military, get married, or wait until age 25. More likely, reduce her ambitions to a community college associate's degree she can afford at sticker price on her own part-time wages.

The fact that our government provides a number called "expected family contribution" is good evidence that, at least officially, contributing to children's educations is the norm.
> Norway also ban: Alcohol, smoke, gaming

Gaming, as in like video games and board games are banned? Seriously?
It's not "better" coaching, just directly engaged instruction. TrainerRoad/Zwift workouts are tailored to specific goals, whereas spin classes are aimed at general fitness... and I've never seen one that lasted over 45 minutes.
There are many people for whom life is a living hell with no hope of escape other than to end it. Insisting they live amounts to serving as their warden and torturer.

If it isn't someone you are personally willing to take some responsibility for, as you did with your wife, then I think it is wrong to insist they live.

I'm quite open about my long history of being suicidal and the various underlying reasons why. People on the internet often want to tell me "chin up, tally ho, here's a suicide hotline number." They generally don't want to do anything whatsoever to help with any of the actual underlying problems.

In fact, they usually make me feel like they are merely using me as their "good deed for the day" to make themselves feel like good people. It generally pisses me off and makes me feel crapped all over.

I'm pro right to die, but this article casts light on how very complicated the issue is. I would be horrified to learn that "I got raped and now want to die" is some new standard for helping women kill themselves. I just can't even begin to come up with the words for how mixed my feelings are about this girl's story.

Mine went to Goodwill after I graduated from my university. It was a beast in terms of how loud it was.

I was able to strike a deal with IT - they'd give me 2U of rack space in the Uni's datacenter and some subdomains in the Uni's .edu. In return, they got a forever grateful undergrad with too much time on his hands.
Do electricity prices vary throughout the year? I don't remember that being the case when I lived in the US, and it's not the case in Ontario. We have time-of-use pricing that swaps the mid-peak and on-peak rates, but that doesn't affect the total charge very much.
> Did you even look at laundromats?

AirBnB + Filter on Laundry is easier. :-D Don't have to take time out of the day and all that.

The Ryokan was mid-tier, nothing fancy. Went to three cities, 2nd one was AirBnB with washer+dryer available, so everything was washed there.
Those people aren't training using 30-45min spin classes. They're on a resistance trainer using TrainerRoad/Zwift workouts mostly based on time-in-saddle.
It doesn't take a college degree, in law or otherwise, to understand that data in one place - whether that's physically or under the umbrella of a single service provider - is subject to unpredictable, unexpected, total loss.
I'm afraid you'd have to research this youself, if you wish to really understand.

Current designs of PWR reactors are about 1000-1200 MWe, constant, and not really throttable. This makes them the best baseline supply one can wish for, for a comparably meager investment once the idiotic regulation premium is subtracted.

If we had bulk energy storage it would have been so much cheaper to just pump it with electricity from nukes than that from wind or solar.

Since we don't have the storage tech, the question is moot.

Wind or solar is useless for the grid, period.
Can someone please clarify the “analytics” part? All kinds of analytics services, or services that use your app analytics for their own purposes, or use it for the sake of ads targeting/retargeting, or have PII risks?

I’m not sure I see the harm to kids if an app uses some ads-free analytics provider like Amplitude just for its own 1st party needs... or am I missing something?
That's apples to oranges. A regular runner who runs a few times a week could do 11:30 minute miles just fine. Someone who just started running would have much difficulty doing an 11:30 mile period let alone sustaining that pace for two hours.
It looks like this will zero out data but not remove.
Yeah, I'm writing a conversion tool and I'm having quite a hard time getting EasyList to fit in the 50,000 limit. I have some deduplication rules in place which takes it quite close, and with cleverer algorithms it might be possible to fit the entire thing, but it's pretty clear that this limit is quite restrictive (plus, there's no guarantee that it will even work on iOS, which will kill the ruleset compiler if it uses too much resources).
True, but you're not supposed to say trans women have biological traits of men, because trans men are also a thing, and they're still "men".

So really, trans women have biological traits of genetic males, which is fine.
How does Rust compare to Spark/Ada?
+1 on the PSU.

Having attempted to replace power supplies on both Dell and HP workstations, that's just not possible. It doesn't boot without a one from the manufacturer.

Surprised that none of the comments mention it.
Thank you for the comment.

We were focused on making it work first, and thanks to your feedback we'll make it great.
The last five years or so I've been pigeonholed into this "devops" space. Everything about it is a train wreck. I am currently seriously considering going back to a plain old "feature development" role, at least while "DevOps" quiets down.

Calling it "devops" has turned out to be a disservice. Teams are either made up of devs who don't know the sysadmin space and thus think the solution to every problem is "Write a new program in $LANGUAGE_OF_THE_MONTH", and balk when you tell them "Ok, but... did you consider this thing that's been around 25 years?", or it's made up of what most companies had for "ops" people -- button-clickers who can follow a checklist like "Open Control Panel, double-click 'Add and Remove Programs...'" but are beyond hopeless in front of command line.

In the wild, it's exceedingly rare to find people who can bridge both worlds reasonably. I appreciate that Google was able to formulate a functional SRE team, but... most companies aren't Google.

Virtually everything that could've gone wrong as devops hit mainstream has gone wrong. Docker is all wrong. Kubernetes is a massive barf-fest. The obsession with "cloud everything" is not only a grotesque waste of money, it's insecure from first principles, as the emergence of practical speculative execution attacks has clearly demonstrated.

Fair point. For wifi only devices, I could see it having some use.
Actually, detecting intelligent life out there would be the most horrible news we've ever received. It would mean the Great Filter that prevents colonization of the galaxy is before us, not behind us, and that we're almost certainly doomed to fall to it.
Apple's Earthquake-Ready Headquarters
These apps will be nearly impossible to monetize. No ads, but also basically no in-app purchases either. I doubt many children will see a parental gate and actually do what it asks. They'll just treat it like a dead-end and close the app to find something else to play with. This category will be entirely populated by totally free apps that are created solely for branding purposes or funded by NGOs to push an agenda, with a very small number of apps created by uncompromised people who sincerely want to make the world a better place for children.
