Just yesterday I thought it is really annoying that mobile browsers put the address bar on top, even worse if it is moving in and out. That way it is impossible come close to a native look and feel. Now FF puts the address bar on bottom. Quite a suprise but I think it is a pretty smart change.

If your political stance violates the TOS that is enforced on non-public offical users, is it really "political bias"? Maybe you should rethink your politics if bullying, inciting violence, and inciting hate speech is part of your position.

Yea, the narrative in mainstream circles keep saying this is another data grab. It's understandable given Facebook's history, but it's ignoring the fact that they don't need more data to make this venture worthwhile. It's a massive opportunity all on its own, on the face of it.

I admit that I inferred the proposed intent for grabbing maximum personal data, but if you’re interested in anecdotes from the trenches: no one below senior director level gets a couple million in stock for any other reason than they pushed CTR by a few basis points. What I was trying to say is that seen through the lens of mechanism design no one is incentivized to query the like button table because there’s no upside in it.
Google is putting a number on us, is honestly some Minority Report level dystopia. Google is already using this to make life hell for anyone who cares about their privacy, we need to do something about this before they finish putting up their iron curtain over the web. Would it be possible to sue website owners for requiring such invasive measures? I'd love to see this ruled as monopoly power and Google broken up but that's probably not very realistic so we would probably do better to make using Google captchas more expensive in court costs alone than just building their own solutions to fight bots.
I do agree with you on this. Especially this rule.

Abuse/harassment: You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. This includes wishing or hoping that someone experiences physical harm.

Obviously there is a gray area where people use 'groups' rather than individuals to claim they are not targeting people.

This is a great summary of how urbanization intensifies the red vs. blue tribalism we've been seeing over time. Unfortunately, I don't know what the solution to this issue is (if there is one). And at least in my personal experience, it seems like a significant chunk of the left is more inclined to simply write off rural residents entirely rather than look for common ground and compromises.
When people make statements about the world that they believe to be true, all of their subsequent actions reflect that high priority belief, and disproof causes major re-evaluation of everything.

When people express opinions, they may not act subsequently in ways that are in accordance with the opinion, and may change the opinion with more or less disruption to the rest of their actions.

OP here, so I'm of course biased but I'm actually also a fan of the Tilt team :)

Overall, Garden has a broader focus, an added emphasis on testing, as well as capturing all the relationships between your services. The goal is for you to be able to use the same tools and workflows across development and testing/CI, and (as of our new release) the same environment as well.

For an apples-to-apples with Tilt, Garden does a lot of the same things when developing locally, but Garden additionally covers unit+integ testing and allows you to define all your bootstrapping workflows (e.g. migrations etc.). Tilt has a really good UI for local builds+deploys, but you wouldn't currently use it to run tests, or work with remote clusters.

The key thing we're adding in this release is not just an ability to work with remote clusters, but to do it _really fast_. Even faster than locally sometimes, because you can allocate more resources and share build+test caches with your team and your CI.

Plus—and this is more important for the long-run—Garden is designed to be pluggable to work with more platforms than Kubernetes. So you'll be able to use serverless, custom/legacy platforms etc. with the same tools when we release the plugin SDK later this summer.

Hope that's useful.
I do look at outer dimensions and at weight. I try to stay under 130 mm and around 130 g. Very few decent phones are there. The SE for iOS and basically only the Sony Compact line for Android. But the latest model weighs more than 160 g and I can't understand what those extra 30 g are for.
> Because reCaptcha v3 is likely to be on every page of a website, if you’re signed into your Google account there’s a chance Google is getting data about every single webpage you go to that is embedded with reCaptcha v3—and there many be no visual indication on the site that it’s happening, beyond a small reCaptcha logo hidden in the corner.

There’s a potentially bigger risk being overlooked. Google can execute first-party script. This means they get every user’s session credentials and can freely impersonate that user. So can all the other trackers in use.

I don’t understand how anyone thinks this is remotely okay.

"You know the basic idea. A company does something bad, or something bad happens to it. Its stock price goes down, because of the bad thing. Shareholders sue: Doing the bad thing and not immediately telling shareholders about it, the shareholders say, is securities fraud."

Immediately telling them would still make the stock price plummet and you'll still lose probably the same amount of money. I think what most people want is: Tell me and only me first when there is something bad, so I can sell before the stock goes south.

I was just commenting on your remark. I think Dijkstra was picking on the "language to communicate with computers" topic, not on language as a tool of communication between people.

I mean, readability of any language for humans is an issue, but I'm not sure what readability for computers means exactly in this context. How easy it is to make an optimizing compiler? Modern languages use zero cost abstractions approach to improve readability for humans, while targeting well optimized code.

I've now been a professional software developer for about 10 years and have come to the exact opposite conclusion of this article. I've come to find that these types of principals lead to the opposite of readable code for me. Principals like solid lead to overly abstract code that becomes very hard to follow. I prefer code to be as linear, obvious and unsurprising as it can be and the amount of useless abstractions that get bolted on to make code SOLID do the opposite of that. Some principals I have found useful:

YAGNI
KISS
DRY

In that order. First, try not to do the thing. Second, if you have to, make it as simple and straight forward as possible. Third, don't repeat yourself but observe one and two first.

no. but I can summarize. it seems (after I read the whole HN thread) that the issue is that many OSS communities are pretty hostile places and the speaker didn't mention that.

Hams care about people following FCC rules in much the same way gun owners care about ATF regulations, or car-club members care about whether modifications are steet-legal (or CA Smog-legal), or DIY forum people care about work being permitted and done to code, etc. etc.

Some of it is people being cranky, sure, but breaking the rules and regulations of a federal agency is generally not the best idea even if you don't mean any harm by it.

I hope that works out then, I'm just frustrated with the state of mobile as it's been since the regressions.

Can you provide any evidence that personal data doesn't improve CTR prediction for companies like Google/Facebook?

You state yourself that Google/Facebook publicly claim to advertisers that personal data improves CTR prediction. So I have a hard time believing that personal data isn't useful.

I do not base my evaluation of legitimacy on the Constitution, but on the voice of the people.
> I also don't know that it's the Supreme Court that's meant to overturn

That's exactly the issue I was getting at. Equal representation is clearly a constitutional issue, which it is the court's duty to rule on, and yet the constitution does not explicitly address districting issues. Would defining a standard to determine whether a districting plan meets the constitutional requirement be within the court's purview? Clearly yes, because that kind of standard-setting is a significant part of what they have always done. It's right in the introduction to the Wikipedia list of landmark decisions.

"establishing a "test" or a measurable standard that can be applied by courts in future decisions."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_landmark_court_decisio...

Declining to set such a standard because such things are delegated to the states would have been reasonable. Declining to set such a standard because it's a "political" - i.e. legislative - responsibility is also reasonable. But "because the constitution" doesn't work because the constitution is mute on the specifics on which the court was asked to rule. They can't overturn what doesn't exist.
The lie is that users like targeted ads.

Most people buying ads believe that targeted ads give better results. But that doesn't mean that people like to be followed by ads for something they just bought.

Let alone all the privacy violations where if somebody can see you web browser, they can see from the ads what you have been doing recently.

If the book is anything like the freely available blog entries (at least, they used to be free) I read years ago, I vigorously disagree with that reviewer. They were fascinating. And mixing the coding, producing and business side of things only added to the interest.

One thing I found hilarious was when Jordan comments how they got a young actress to motion capture the Princess. They were the prototypical geeks of the time, and he says they were shy and very embarrassed around her. We've come a long way... :P

Also fun that Jordan got his brother to do some of the Prince's signature moves. In some parking lot or similar space, if I remember correctly.
We changed the title from "States Such as CA, Montana, North Dakota and Oklahoma, Ban Non-Compete Clauses". The site guidelines ask:

"Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

Cherry-picking a particular detail is editorializing. If you want to say what you think is important, you're welcome to do so, but it should be via a comment in the thread explaining why you posted it. Then your view is on a level playing field with everyone else's.

Any form of encryption on amateur radio frequencies is prohibited under FCC Rules Part §97.113 Prohibited transmissions Section 4 http://www.arrl.org/part-97-text.

Can't speak to your first point, as my only interaction with Nextcloud php configuration has been to comment in/out various php modules. I don't have too many modules though, so maybe that's why I haven't had any configuration issues.

Regarding file management, the working solution for me has been to mount any external storage with a fuse mount ( NAS, dropbox, etc. ), and then just use the Nextcloud "external storage" option. Other than Nextcloud's general slowness ( I'm running on an underpowered server ) I haven't had any issues.

> What if your $20k/year job is in a factory making a product that is too expensive for people making $20k/year to afford? The automation lowers the cost of living for those who buy the product, not you.

The first thing to note is that this typically isn't what happens. The majority of goods are not luxury goods by definition, because most people can't afford luxury goods, so most production is not of luxury goods. And luxury goods also tend to be less subject to automation since scarcity and "craftsmanship" etc. is generally what makes them luxuries. If you can inexpensively mass produce it with a machine then it's no longer something ordinary people can't afford.

Moreover, the aggregate is really what matters. If you replace grocery clerks with self-checkout machines and bank tellers with ATMs and both Toyota and Lexus factory workers with assembly robots, the Lexus factory workers may not be able to afford a Lexus, but they can afford a Toyota and also benefit from lower bank fees and grocery prices.

Meanwhile the dentist who can afford a Lexus now has more money left over to buy whatever thing the former Lexus worker finds a job doing next.

In my own personal experience, people are most often mistaken about what is insider trading due to a combination of a vague sense of unfairness and a lack of background knowledge about the reasons for insider trading laws and the exact harm those laws are designed to prevent.

Matt Levine has written extensively about this and it's all quite interesting!
Your privacy isn't nearly as important as you think, and as long as you continue to overvalue it, you'll continue to be unwilling to trade it for convenience.

Agree; the only reason I own a Pixel 3 is that the camera in it was so much better than the competition's. Otherwise I would be using a $100 chinese brand phone. Google now sells a second phone that is cheaper but with the same camera; I'd buy that if this one broke.

The only thing impacting my phone purchases these days is the camera, which like you said, the good ones only come in 5"+ screen sizes.
