A lot of 8000-meter-plus climbers are ordinary middle-class people. The huge expenses of getting to the Himalayas, paying for permits and gear are covered by sponsorships. In some small European countries, no one from there has yet climbed Everest, Nanga Parbat etc. without supplementary oxygen. That means any expedition will get big coverage in national media, and consequently it is easy to obtain sponsorship from local subsidiaries of multinationals (e.g. Pepsi, Johnny Walker, etc.)
Thank you for being so open. I feel similarly about my own genes but I do not have them sequenced yet. A lot of people are talking about the security concerns and whose making money.

Valid concerns, but I think medicine does need vast amounts of genetic data available to actually make some progress. Medical progress is not advancing fast enough by some very real metrics (5 year cancer survival rate over 40 years is not at ALL impressive when you factor in diagnoses being made earlier).

Ownership of this data is important, but if genetic data was more freely shared I think medical progress would benefit.

>I was comparing hard to hard. "Hard left" youtube seem to be great people, whereas "hard right" youtube is utter trash.

Or you know, that's a version of "everyone I agree with is good, everyone I disagree with is Hitler".
There are plenty of alternatives, but none of them are easy money. They are in the order of slightly-less-easy-money all the way down to intense-changes-but-still-earn-well. That is also the problem, as any change that even costs a cent on the bottom line is a cultural no-no.

You are on HN and have this 100 year old business ideals? I want to see profiles and repos of people you recruit.
They are called "western values" thanks to a very eurocentric (and somewhat ignorant) view of the world that was exported thanks to colonialism.

Many of the inventions and values attributed to "Western values/culture" are derived from non western civilizations (including a tremendous amount of math/science knowledge which was imported from the east).

Propoganda and lying through ommission is quite prevalant in western accounts of history, it may require studying abroad to realize the scope of this activity.
That's more legit than I thought. It could be that this is actually a good resource, hah.
Multiply that by the probability of it happening to get the risk, though.
I just scrolled down the screenshot section where it showed the videos he watched in one time period, are you really trying to say Stefan Molyneux, Paul Joseph Watson, thunderf00t and a lady complaining about "cuckservatives" aren't "far right" or conspiracy theorists?
If we're talking about what a state considers to be marginal groups, you must not compare your own imagined experiences if you're not part of a marginal group. The consequences of being caught by the police as a black man, for example, is far far worse in the US than it is in China or many other places. This is also a much more likely event.

You might want to try arousing the suspicions of your own state to see how it really reacts. You might be disappointed.
This comment and your following comment seem to show a reluctance to accept EVs as solution. You haven't considered some major points:

1. "Import duties are high", "Direct import is not viable" - it's the govt we are talking about. They'll HAVE to ease the import to make it work.

2. Vehicles age; and they break down faster on indian roads. Current vehicles will eventually expire and open up space for electrics. no one is going to ask you to smash a new car.
License exceptions exist, including the "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil" exception.

It just wouldn't be free software anymore.
A far cry from the conservatives of my time, hence the "alt" label. As the article mentions, how much discussion of a balanced budget is there in any of these videos? Do you think someone like former Senator McCain or Romney would be watching these? It's all about race and sex and identity issues.
I've had embarassing situations where an outsider might misinterpret my behaviour such that I would scan around for a good moment, good in the sense of not being bothered needlessly:

1. one time I lost the key to my bicycle lock, so I had to cut it free, ... obviously I looked around for a calmer moment, even though it simply was my bike.

2. another time I (or a friend, I can't remember) threw my frisbee on the roof of a small entrance building with elevator to the underground parking lot under a public square. Although the height could be scaled by climbing some structure besides it, we didn't because it was too busy... then I told my brother about what happened without asking him to get it... the next day I decide to get it, but there was a police car doing a patrol and passing every 7 minutes, ... so I doubt for a while, then stop the police car on its next tour, ask the cops if I can go fetch my frisbee from the roof,... very hesitant to give any explicit permission they subtextually indicate they don't care, as long as I do it quickly while they are there... so climb the structure, then the roof, ... no frisbee! later I would learn my brother had already retrieved it...
For contractors (in contrast to employees), it's not a "work for hire" by default. The contract must explicitly state that it's a "work for hire", and various other conditions must be met. From Wikipedia[1]:

On the other hand, if the work is created by an independent contractor or freelancer, the work may be considered a work for hire only if all of the following conditions are met:

- the work must come within one of the nine limited categories of works listed in the definition above, namely (1) a contribution to a collective work, (2) a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, (3) a translation, (4) a supplementary work, (5) a compilation, (6) an instructional text, (7) a test, (8) answer material for a test, (9) an atlas;

- the work must be specially ordered or commissioned;

- there must be a written agreement between the parties specifying that the work is a work made for hire by use of the phrase "work for hire" or "work made for hire."

It doesn't seem that software written by one person meets any of the nine criteria above. (A "collective work" seems to refer to something like a magazine that contains the writings of several authors.[2])

The question is what is the due process to ban wechat. An executive order from Trump? If wechat is banned, should all other Chinese apps and websites be banned because every Chinese company is tied to Chinese government? If someone objects to the ban, should he/she be banned for colluding with a foreign threat? If you go down the slope, then at some point the US will become as oppressive as China. China can't make US more authoritarian, but paranoia can.

Really? Why? Because conservative/right = bad, and liberal/left = good?
I misread your question so my reply was unnecessary snarky.

Black male+white female is 2nd least common coupling in USA, this at least is a fact unrelated to my opinion.

Comparison to media rates is based on Hollywood blockbusters and Netflix lineup. While the numbers for Hollywood are lower than on Netflix, black male+white female is 2nd most common coupling in Netflix originals.

P.S. I am European and child of a mixed marriage myself, so this is no 'keep America white!' effort. It's just that the idea of 'forbidden truths' 1984-style rubs me the wrong way.
> I think the problem here is that they support some policies which white supremacists, as a group, also like supporting. Just because two groups can agree on something doesn't mean those groups are allies.

I'm probably going to bleed karma for this, but whatever - I think Trump's campaign had the same problem. I don't believe he's explicitly a white supremacist or that he wanted the support of neo-nazis, if for no other reason than that would be a stupid move politically, but for whatever reason neo-nazis seem to consider him their champion.

Likely in part it's a combination of his antagonistic (politically incorrect) demeanor and his populist rhetoric, but also (just to put it out there) the Republicans and Tea Party have been sort of low-key courting favor with racists for years, so there were already plenty in the base to begin with, they just needed to find their anti-establishment dark horse.

Even if they're less "white supremacist supporting" as "white supremacist supported," that's still a problem. They still feed on and profit from that element.
I’ve gotten 3 red light camera tickets in Chicago and each of them was for a no turn on red that I didn’t see, where both streets had long unobstructed views of oncoming traffic and similar roads nearby allowed turn on red. The video recorded showed that it was raining, obviously late at night, and with no other cars in the shot for the duration of the video. Also my speed was at most 5 mph and I came to a full stop.

Those cameras do nothing to promote safety and are nothing but a hidden tax on drivers.
Interesting! What blacklists are there? Who maintains them?
Joe Rogan and Dave rubin just have casual chats with stefan molyneux on their shows where they give him attention and let him just talk. They just give a platform to a literal white supremacist.
I don't think most of the people I listed are tame, I think they're "hard liberal" or "hard libertarian." One of the problems is that there are really 3 camps in most western countries at this point. There is

1.) the authoritarian left, which prioritizes racial and gendered identity, collectivism, equity, all facilitated by the state.

2.) the anti-authoritarian liberal, which prioritizes individual liberty, universality under the law, accountability and self-determination.

3.) the authoritarian right, which prioritizes tradition and national identity.

An extreme person in any of these camps would not result in "great people." I do not think that the left's collectivization of society along racial and gendered lines is "great." I do not think the left's conviction in its moral superiority and subsequent willingness to censor and deplatform is "great." I do not think that the left's disassociation of merit and value in pursuit of arbitrary equity is "great." These are very dangerous things. Radical leftism is responsible for tens of millions of deaths.
By no measure is China a freer society today than it was 10 years ago.
Do you mean intellectual property?

It would be defined in the contract, but usually the contractors never own the copyright to code written for other people.

Anyway, I agree with the other comments that this is unprofessional and immature. We have a civil court system to deal with these kind of issues.

I mean, as someone who isn't wanted by the police, I don't really have problem with the police catching people they're looking for. I thought the body cameras were for everyone accountability, not just police.

Lots and lots of crime goes unpunished (and I'm not talking about victimless crimes) because police don't identify the perpetrator or can't find them. I'd be thrilled if everyone who'd committed a hit and run, or mugged someone, was terrified knowing that they were definitely going to be caught with this technology.

So many people are victimized because the perpetrators are fairly certain they won't be caught. Society as a whole would be better off if people were guaranteed to be caught and punished when they victimize someone.
No, it's not.

We're taking about end-users utilizing a third party service to get some kind of visualisation for their Bank accounts.

While German banks have a standardized API (FinTS), the normal authentication details are still necessary in order to use it, so basically all third party services demand them for that.

The only place where oauth2 is used is for single sign on between services of the same company and maybe - very rarely - you also get social auth from Facebook or similar.

No bank I've ever seen ever provided a public oauth API with which you could fetch data.

I'd been without a Facebook account for four years as well, but created one for testing/verifying the behavior of an application we'd recently gotten approved.

As far as I'm aware it would not let me create an account without a mobile number to confirm the account.

After performing a single action (creating a page), my account was flagged, and thrown into the facial recognition captcha process.

I had no idea GSP had UC. Personally? I don't think I do enough, but when I'm fully adhering to my own protocol, I:

-Don't drink alcohol

-Follow a paleo-autoimmune protocol (with the inclusion of white rice). I can't promise it works but I encourage self experimentation. There's been research around SCD (specific carbohydrate diet) and GAPS diet which you may want to look into because of its effects on crohn's (somewhat researched).

-I eat fermented foods (no affiliation to the company, but I eat from realpickles.com [seriously no affiliation, just sharing where I get from])

-Because my joints are in pain, I can't exercise much so I do pilates. Kinda funny, 26 year old male with a bunch of ladies in their 60's, they find it funny and so do I

-Try to sleep enough and meditate for stress levels.

-I intermittently fast, but not through much effort. I just skip breakfast which naturally leads to ~6-8 hr feeding window.

Yes. Is that what you wanted me to say?

Also, don't flamebait like this.
There are many multiple reasons that lead to this.

For example, it's usually easier to increase the 'main arteries' of the road network. Just widen the road or build more roads. This option usually goes away close to the destination.

If you just keep building more highways, you end up with hurry up and wait situations where the congestion starts close to the destination and spreads backwards. Cars are waiting to exit highways in the mornings and streets leading to highways are full in the evening.

If you solve all these issues and build enough highways, entries, exists, streets etc. you end with a sparse city. Traffic is faster but distances are long. More traffic is needed because walking distances disappear.
Regular people aren't as interested in space exploration as nerds tend to be, so where we could point to dozens of things that wouldn't make sense or would be much more complicated if Earth was flat, their only basis for this belief is "because the society (school, in particular) says so". Within this group of people, I'm sure there's a subset for which that basis is not enough against their belief that society/scientists/rich are out to get them.
Far left is just as dangerous as far right. Just google how many deaths can be attributed to far left ideologies (communism, marxism, etc.)

My bet is that they were able to internally link your previous account and the new one. And probably kept building your profile while you were "without" an account.
The scariest thing is whether they keep downloading transactions or just verify i own the account like they make you think they're doing.
As a matter of fact --- what you said used to be a belief shared widely among public intellectuals in China 10-20 years ago. No one believes in it now.

I see it from both sides. I love browsing youtube and finding relevant suggestions, I can kill hours of time clicking and watching. However I sometimes feel like a victim of some kind of manipulation. Youtube has incredible power to persuade you down certain paths (in the pursuit of maximizing # of views).

I think there is a difference here compared to other platforms: they slowly nudge you down paths of interest and you willingly oblige in watching it. And if you have lost interest in a subject, don't worry, it will pop up on your home page sooner or later, dangling it above your head "still interested? come over here, click on me!".

Sure I paint a sinister picture, perhaps it is exaggerated, but I truly believe that google knows more about me than everyone that I know personally, and maybe even myself. That is scary. If they combines all this information across their platforms, they are in possession of an incredibly accurate profile of myself. If they use this profile to suggest videos, I suppose it may not be as harmful as I have stated, but what if they were to use it for other purposes in the future? This is my greatest fear.
I haven't watched Stefan Molyneux or thunderf00t, so can't tell.

I've watched a few Paul Joseph Watson videos. I've also watched Shapiro, Milo, and Peterson, recognized from the screenshots shown. You can agree or disagree with the positions they take (e.g. Milo plays the extravagant provocateur for laughs and money), but where are those "conspiracy theories"?

Of course in these days, everything is labeled a "conspiracy theory" too. I keep the term for things involving the illuminati and aliens.

Regular corporatist interests and politicians conspire all the time -- the more open version is called lobbying.

Heck, politics is all about conspiring (including very covertly spy-shit, Nixon-Watergate like) against other parties and ideologies...
Now that the drama is over and I won't be accused of lying, I'd like to point out that I'm European and a child of a mixed marriage myself. So the reaction of this wannabe Jihadi John SJW is even more troubling.

I absolutely hate WeChat (not necessarily just for the reasons in the article, but many other technical reasons) but I'm forced to use it because all of my friends and my entire social life happens on it. And I live in the Bay Area. If I don't use it I would basically be locking myself up in a prison where I would never see my friends.

Even the majority of my friends who work at Facebook and Google use WeChat to organize social events. Hell, I've visited friends at Facebook's HQ and had to tell them by WeChat that I'm downstairs in the lobby.

I personally totally get why this happens, and the network effect is so strong that my first instinct to contact my friends is via WeChat as well. I too organize social events on WeChat, because I know my friends don't really check anything else, so in the process, I too am guilty of propagating this network effect.

I still hate the app though. I just don't hate it enough to want to ditch my social life.
The cracks are a current event as is the pressure to restart the reactor by allowing changes to the original design's safety parameters.

As for the potential scenario referred to in the headline, I think that is labelled clearly as a theoretical possibility by the use of the words 'could lead'.

The original headline 'Cracks found in nuclear reactor that could lead to the full evacuation of Edinburgh and Glasgow' is better, but too long for HN, so I edited as best I could. Was not meaning to make it more linkbatey, but is very hard when deleting words from a headline to make it fit.
