> Why not we all just... let them launch and see what happens?

because more often than not when we do that our data happens to end up in the hands of private companies that try to steer public elections. Facebook is a private company and we should not let it attempt to displace the financial system. The same scrunity should be applied to wechat or telegram should they ever attempt to do the same. As it stands wechat has no relevance on the western markets though. Control over financial transactions and the monetary system directly impacts national security.

>Libra is nothing more than the latest iteration of a long line of stablecoins a-la Tether, USDC, GUSD etc.

the difference is that facebook exercises control over 2.4 billion users, so everything it does, by definition, is in a very different ballpark than a community project.

The mobile phone was never a great place for durable design; the market was evolving extremely quickly. Durable design is for single function devices; things like axes and musical instruments and toasters and so on. Why would anyone want this product in 2019?
Sure. And if kids say “I hate this” chances are they will hate it tomorrow too.

Ignoring that kind of direct and obvious feedback is crazy.
Thus the quotes around "relevant". I find the "relevant" ads to be so far off the mark that my head hurts.
Real-time is such an unfortunate term when talking about video collaboration. A codec that can achieve real-time encoding speed is still useless if it has a 10 frame latency to output the first data, and arguably not real-time.

Ask HN: What's the best tool for SaaS security?
We're building a SaaS product and want to properly manage its security, but with myriad tools out there we're having a hard time cutting through the clutter. What's the most important tool to deploy in terms of bang for the buck to help us prevent a breach?
I remember after the 787 was launched there was a few stories in the press about the batteries catching fire mid-flight, but it turned out the designers and engineers had accounted for that possibility and it wasn't really a big deal.

It was a huge deal and the plane was grounded for three month due to those battery fires.

Originally the engineers did not account for battery fires and needed to refit a compartment to seal the batteries in case a fire occurs.

Luckily it was either on approach, or they could emergency land the plane when the problem occured.

A burning lithium battery in a flying plane is one of the worst imaginable scenarios you can encounter during a flight and is a fucking big deal.

Is that really new? Most adults I knew growing up didn't have hobbies. They sat around watching TV. Maybe people who see a decline had exceptional role models and weren't aware of how things were for other people.

I got into all kinds of creative hobbies because everyone around me was so boring. We were always the exception. It's been true through human history. The weirdos who go out and build a plane or a car or start a movement were always mocked and pathologized before they were venerated.

Accot-Zhai Steering Law: Implications for UI Design
WhatsApp probably has bugs like these discovered on a monthly basis, that we never even hear about.

The only time we hear about bugs with non OS software is when there is a masssive breach, FB initially reveals it only affects a small number of people, a few weeks later quietly revised that to a few 10s of million, and then a couple of months later buried somewhere that it was actually hundreds of millions of users affected.
Globally. The title is somewhat misleading. That's roughly 0.4% of global jobs in 2019 being lost over a decade; So, something like 0.04% per year. I think society will survive.

If anything, those numbers are underwhelming. Having worked with industrial robots it's not surprising that they won't be taking over the world any time soon.

Robots are a large up front investment in a company's immediate processes. This investment is only good if the processes remain mostly static for a very long time. Even then, there is a major cost when processes finally change. It's stupidly similar to software development in so many ways.

Mass automation already happened, at least in my country (USA). The data shown in the article seems to indicate most of the increased use will be in countries like China. Rising wages are likely the dominant factor driving increased adoption in that situation, not new technology.

Everyone I know who actually buys robots views them as a trade off, not a panacea. As robots' capabilities slowly improve, their use will increase a bit, but operator guided machinery (ie CNCs, injection molding, task specific machines for things like packaging) glued together with flexible human workers isn't going anywhere until we hit something resembling AGI.

Can't speak to the use of robots outside of manufacturing, but that's not what the article is about.

I have a hard time understanding how youtube can screw this up so badly.

Spotify does it nicely. They clearly recognized the few different tastes I have. And then offer separate discovery-queues for each of them and let me decide depending on what mood/situation i'm in.

But that might be the main difference... they signal back their knowledge to the user. Steam kind does the same with "Is this game relevant to you?" info. More clearly telling me what youtube thinks about me would be the first step towards correcting it...
Did they take the ongoing multi-faceted bribes by incompetence, with no malice involved ?

Hanlon's Razor is useful in some scopes, but imagine applying it to banking, politics, corporate regulation or law enforcement. Depending on your position, not doing due diligent and acting ethically is malice.
If something like this were to see wide success, that would potentially take a big use case away from Google Search, no question about that. You pretty much have to use Google Search in many cases if you want to find out what other people are saying about a given website.

And if malicious comments are a problem on the platform, then that's a failure of the design of the platform rather than the idea of it. The nature of commenting as it exists now dishes out proportional exposure to those who are the loudest and most persistent, or can otherwise game the system. We've tried to solve that with human moderators (sometimes as bad as the trolls themselves), and simple voting algorithms (lowbrow meme humor gets voted to the top).

It's now 2019, we're long overdue for a better way of doing things. Taking two steps backwards toward a completely unmoderated soapbox is a non-starter, and the fact that we're even having this discussion on HN is evidence that far too little effort has gone into solving these problems collectively.
That’s a common misconception of not understanding quantum physics and determinism. Do you want me to explain how quantum physics doesn’t change anything about you not having free will.
That's orthogonal to what I said. I do have the right to say controversial things (at least I would have if I would be American, but let's assume that). Sites can limit that and delete comments they don't like - that's ok! But I am still allowed to use external software to still exercise that right.

What part of my post do you find it to be 'conspiracy' ?

That's the reason they stated for the quarantine - that's official and confirmed. I quote: “encouragement of violence towards police officers and public officials in Oregon” [0]

Since they remove all such posts from there (also can be proved by searching through the subreddit), that must mean that the speed of removal was the ultimate reason, right?

The mods said something similar I believe: “It would seem they’ve set up an impossible standard as a reason to kill us before the 2020 election.” [0]

I think "impossible standard" means that nobody can delete the posts faster than that.

If you accept all of this on face value (guy posts on subreddit, mods don't react "quick enough", subreddit gets quarantined - end of story), then good for you!

> This article/researcher makes claims that: a) there is a mental health crisis among teenagers which is not parallel to other comparable generations, and b) that crisis is linked to mobile phones. I'm not convinced by either claim.

You probably should be, because there are objective markers that don't depend on communication:

> The article identifies that today's teenagers: get in less car accidents, have less risky sex, have a lower rate of teenage pregnancy, ingest less risky substances, are generally less violent - and presents this all as bad because it is different than what came before.

If teens are avoiding risk-seeking behaviour due to an increase in underlying anxieties, then yes, it quite literally is a problem and not just because it's different. Maybe you should give the psychologist who wrote the article the benefit of the doubt.

Firefox makes money by its search deal with Google, in other words: by funneling their users towards Google. This pretty much also boils down to "making money by showing you ads". Google's search ads, to be precise. Now you can say: "But I can turn this off", but then you'd also turn off their source of revenue.

Brave's stated goal is to establish an alternative ad-based business model that's long-term viable without the user being tracked. Will this be successful? Who knows, but at least they're trying to find a business model that respects your privacy while being long-term sustainable. Firefox's model doesn't, at least the way it works now.
These are the kinds of damage that the US is facing that has gonna have severe adverse effects, that will not show up before the next elections, so the current US administration doesn’t care.

OK, but it's not just the clock rate that enters into the decision, one must also consider the rise-time of the edges.

If you're using, for example, a fast logic family like LVC, fast edges on badly routed traces can radiate and interfere with other parts of the circuit, even if you're dealing with "low" clock rates or simple un-clocked logic.
Averaging a months worth of data across a large area with large temperature swings and, as long as you avoid systemic error, having more digits makes little difference. Try it yourself in excel, Average 76.124, 97.317, 79.662, across 1,000 numbers and compare it to rounding to 0, 1, or 2 digits then averaging and the difference is minimal.

Granted their are two relevant kinds of systemic error. If temperatures where more likely to be 0.1 than 0.9 then rounding would introduce bias. But, as our temperature system is arbitrary that seems unlikely.
Sorry to tell you but your nightmare is largely the reality. Recommendation engines are a fancy name with a brain dead backend.

My guess is that Boeing essentially gave the plane away in order to have one please, just one! success story at the Paris air show.

I can't imagine any airline making a deal at 50% list price with the current perception of that death trap with the public.

50% of list price, btw, is in the ballpark of usual discounts granted to end customers by Boeing and Airbus[1].

While I'm not privvy to any internals (obviously) my take is that IAG essentially gets the plane for free in exchange for a PR win for Boeing.

> Specifically, Einstein was puzzled by a difference that didn’t make a difference, a symmetry that didn’t make sense. It’s still astonishing to drop a wad of crumped paper and a set of heavy keys side by side to see that somehow, almost magically, they hit the ground simultaneously — as Galileo demonstrated (at least apocryphally) by dropping light and heavy balls off the tower in Pisa. If the force of gravity depends on mass, then the more massive an object is, the faster it should sensibly fall. Inexplicably, it does not.

Is this right? I haven't studied physics formally since I was 16, but I thought that the extra gravitational force due to greater mass was effectively cancelled out by the extra inertia also due to the same greater mass: i.e., more massive bodies are indeed more strongly attracted by the Earth, but because they are more massive they are also harder to accelerate to the same degree, with the result that everything falls at the same rate, regardless of mass. And I also thought this was known long before Einstein: if I had to guess, I'd credit Newton.

Or am I fundamentally misunderstanding something?
I would also like to add that some countries could contribute more by offering public transit infrastructure (like, at all - looking at you "deep south of the United States", where cities don't have any transit systems, whatsoever) and encouraging/subsidising/what-have-you of far more rail use than plane use.

Essentially, you're never going to drive car use down (and, thereby, fossil fuel use), if there are no viable alternatives than using a car and the poorest areas can't afford to "catch-up" to the electic vehicle trend[s].

Yes, the effect might be miniscule, compared to the output of CO^2 by businesses, but every little bit helps - when deforestation continues in the Amazon (e.g.: "the world's lungs") and we're not planting enough trees (anywhere) to counter-act that.

A metaphor I like for creativity is a forest. The wood of a forest is a renewable resource, and cutting down trees can actually make the forest healthier and grow more efficiently. The problem comes when the forest is managed unsustainably; trying to meet some external short-term demand.

I think that with mental health in general, many of us suffer the fallacy of thinking that because we're healthy now, we can take any amount of stress and abuse.

> they are dry and tasteless

I often prefer thighs too, but if you're stuck, you can avoid dry/tasteless breasts if you use a lower heat for most of the cooking process, then blast briefly at higher heat for a rich malliard.

Also, season more aggressively than you expect. A chicken breast is not a steak, you need to work it a bit more for best results. Salt both early and late in the process, consider using a bit of garlic or onion in the oil, or go all the way and add something bold like sriracha before it hits the pan. Dusting with a mixture of flour and a spice blend like old bay is another good approach.
That sounds like a problem requiring consensus hence not implementable with p2p tech. It would need a blockchain or something similar.
