Look, there is always going to be stuff that is banned from Youtube. They're not going to allow porn on there.

Again, that would be fine. If there was a consistent standard, content creators could just abide by those rules. That's not the experience of content creators. Instead, it's arbitrary, and often driven by the ideological whims of lower level employees with an axe to grind.

Also, recommendations aren't part of a platform, they are Youtube's free speech

That's awfully convenient. Virality and discovery are huge amplifying forces. In 2019, it makes no sense at all to be part of a "platform" then wield the editorial control of manipulating recommendations. The only reason that flies, is that the law and the general culture haven't caught up to the implications of manipulated virality and discovery. Would you like it if somehow Fox News were given editorial control of manipulating virality and discovery? If your answer is no, then you already understand that it's too much power to let a single corporation wield.

as that's how Youtube has radicalized people.

That NYT piece is a shallow hit piece. There's far less radicalization going on than the emperor losing his clothes. What's going on is that young people are figuring out the BS of the older generation, and the establishment NYT is trying to spin it in a way to scare people away from the process. Far more young people are just rejecting the establishment narrative and crafting their own. As usual, the establishment are crying the sky is falling, and the young people will be fine. (And a small fringe will be nut-jobs, and a smaller fringe will be vile, but that's always been the case as well.)

I'm glad to see hyphenation was taken into account, even if it requires some extra packages. On the Android epub readers I've tried it never seemed to work (maybe they only support English if at all?).
I use a conventional dark theme and e.g. it flashes a white background whenever I open a new tab before applying a black background. And certain pages can't be styled to block themes from hiding things.

It's inevitable that a good dark plugin will need to avoid the official channels.

Evince doesn't support EPUB, and the request for support has been marked as WONTFIX (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539347).

However, Atril, which was originally forked from Evince, does support EPUB rather well.

It says the vulnerability began two years prior to acquisition but does not say that it was a one time event and the rest of the article would not make a lot of sense if that was the case.
I agree with you 100%, ralusek. This sounds like a particularly infantile form of nimbyism to me. Apologies to the folks living there that the forests suck, but with the fate of the planet at stake you get very little of my sympathy. Yes, in the long run, let's plant something more pleasant, but we are dealing with an immediate climate crisis and your concern about the view and local walkability are just not important compared to that.

If these shitty trees do the best job of quickly soaking up carbon, then that's what should be planted. It's not about you.

Similarly, I wish the app itself enabled Dark Mode on Mojave. File save/etc dialogs are awfully white in a darker environment.

(More broadly, I wish Apple would allow things like file dialogs to force to dark mode. I know you can set NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance to NO, but it tends to mess up a bunch of other random stuff too)
I'm curious, what are some good examples of companies/industries that are successful in not price discriminating across national/world-region borders?

Most of markets segments I can think of (pharmaceutical, automotive, SAAS) do it in one way (direct price discrimination) or another (separate products for a region).
> I think they need to be made aware that this isn't acceptable.

Oh, definitely. I cancelled my subscription because of this, but I wonder if the reason will make it through the corporate fog.

What is worrying is that more and more companies think it is fine to install "helpers", "openers" and other cruft. I recently removed several, and I still have to use software that scares me sometimes (DYMO web printing, Brother web printing). This should not be considered OK.
This is a weird deja vu. I created that page on Wikipedia back in 2003 so that people could find out what it was. At the time there were a huge host of things that Wikipedia didn't cover at all; it's remarkable how much Wikipedia has grown since then.

As noted elsewhere, this is not really a "law" - it's a design guideline that many find (usually) helpful. However, it was named a "law" and the name has stuck.
Does it support multiple tabs? It doesn't seem to from the screenshot.

A high-severity security bug is just a “concern” now?

Companies should always come out in front of these things. Call it what it is. Your blog post should be something like “We Screwed Up - Security Flaw Post-Mortem”.
I think the accusation that the GDPR has no teeth is not about the magnitude of fines. The GDPR promised great enhancements to privacy and freedom in the text of the legislation (opt-in data processing consent not conditional on service; right to data erasure; data portability). In practise, enforcement has been focused on punishing poor security, rather than lack of privacy or freedom.
The idea servers being up and down, potentially losing all your images to a dead server, and upload limits isn't ideal. I like the idea but Facebook is far more motivated and capable to fulfill my non-tech friend's needs. And without my friends sharing I don't think I'd adopt a sharing platform.

This has far more potentially far-reaching connotations than the BA fine.

Yes, Marriot failed to conduct proper due diligence. Yes, they should have been able to detect the breach earlier and block the attackers' access. And yes, the attackers managed to stay in their system for a very, very long time.

But this breach was conducted by a nation state adversary. An attacker with unlimited resources and the best technical knowledge on the planet. If inability to protect yourself from such a threat becomes an offense, I am not sure the net effect is positive.
Deliberately not disclosing the breach would likely result in much larger fines.

>If you experience a personal data breach you need to consider whether this poses a risk to people. You need to consider the likelihood and severity of the risk to people’s rights and freedoms, following the breach. When you’ve made this assessment, if it’s likely there will be a risk then you must notify the ICO;

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/report-a-breach/

> The GDPR introduces a duty on all organisations to report certain types of personal data breach to the relevant supervisory authority. You must do this within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible.

Kudos to the developer for seeing a need and building something that fills that need with a clean UI. As a developer, I get that the quickest path to building a well featured eBook reader meant building on top of ePub.js.

However, purely from an idealistic engineering perspective (I know, some people do not care at all about that), having to rely on the DOM + a fully featured JavaScript engine to render an ebook is just... insane.

It’s possible to build a big, important tech company that is ethical, too
Uh, so things that are created for the express purpose of only allowing legitimate descisions are "repurposed" to give legitimacy? Granting legitimacy seems pretty inherent to that whole "only allow the legitimate" business...

Overall I don't find much of merit to that argument, as it is appears built from the weird notion that the state is the spawn of the devil and all its acts are made for the enslavement of mankind, slightly ignoring the fact that a state is actually a bunch of people with fairly boring jobs related to different sorts of accounting.
Correct. 200,000 years dying at an early age from easily-preventable infections, among them cholera and dysentery which are easily spread from --yep, you guessed it-- not washing after using the toilet.

And people wonder why I refuse to take part in "potluck" lunches, or eat others' foods. I need to save the URL to this discussion.

I, too, cannot believe someone who does not use soap does not smell like a wild animal. It is surely a case of adaptation. Hoarders who live with hundreds of animals and urine/feces littering the floor claim they cannot smell the ammonia. They have adapted.

People of hackernews, wash your filthy hands with hot water and soap. (that's not an insult, it's an trivially-proven factual assertion: unwashed hands are filthy.)

There are no guarantees in life and I'm in technology because I like change...but when the announcement came across my email in October I was nervous for some of the same reasons.

The assurances I have come from several angles. The public statements from both Jim (our CEO), Ginny (IBM CEO) and Arvind (SVP Cloud Products @IBM). You can see those here:
CEO: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/jim-whitehurst-email-red-hatt...
Arvind: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/qa-ibms-landmark-acquisition-...

But I always put more trust in my own interactions and I've had an opportunity now to work with quite a few of my new colleagues in IBM on both the engineering and business side. What I have seen from them is humility and curiosity about our business - there has been no arrogance. This has been true of their words and their actions so far. To me this is important because I think it's as a result of arrogance on the part of the acquirer that many deals go bad post-close.
Try adding `--new-instance` or `--no-remote` to your invocation.
I never really understood the arguments over the GDPR having teeth or not; it's a EU mandate, whatever teeth it will have is dependent on what each member country decides it will have. That's just how confederations work
Some tips:

If your function call needs 50 parameters (I assume this is hyperbole) then you need some encapsulation. Many codebases with complex functions actually create a struct for the function call, which actually adds forwards compatibility if new struct members are optional.

If you use globals to pass state then you’re probably not thread safe and you’re certainly going to have problems testing because you’ll need to “prep” global state before every test.

I'm just the messenger, I have not spent any time researching the details of those claims.

There's some overlapping between some online communities I participate in and the doomsday preppers/tracker community so that's why I stumbled on this.

The Wikipedia page for Earthquake Lights talks about lights as far as 740 km from the epicenter, so I'd bet that's the answer people who associate those with the quakes will tell you.

Apple Just Gutted Its Laptop Lineup
My accent: "-ing" -> /ɪŋ/

Broadcast British: "-ing" -> /ɪŋg/

When I first hear the /ɪŋ/, my transcriber notes it as "ing", but then I hear the /g/, and it appends to get "ingg". When I switch accent modes, that /ŋ/ reads as just "n" instead of "ng", and the problem goes away.

If you do not process audible speech in part by transcribing it back to letter symbols, you will not hear a second "g". It is an illusion. You can determine whether you are such a person by trying to read from a book while someone else talks into your ear. If hearing the speech drastically slows your reading, you will probably also hear a second "g" in the Broadcast British accent.
My understanding, and I could be wrong, is that the breach started 2 years prior to acquisition, and continued to be exploited until sometime in 2018 - several years after the acquisition.

And, regardless, if a company violates the GDPR then quickly sells it itself, should the relevant data protection commission just drop it? After all, they sold the company!
Ctrl-Caps would be workable. Apple needs to just make that a checkbox.
Hey Everyone,

I'm a long time reader and new poster (hope that's cool).

We just launched the Digital Loyalty Academy through Product Hunt today and we're looking for feedback.

We've released our first course, an introduction to customer loyalty and how it works with digital businesses and are giving lifetime free access away today.

We created the content based on our experience working with 100s of companies including Amazon, Western Union, and Rakuten. We've tried to boil a massive ocean of information, and misinformation, to help people cut out the 10 years it took me to learn this stuff.

Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

Thanks,

Will

Just a bit of anecdotal experience for additional thought: I did the same for years, ignoring the signs, pushing through long hours, etc. and eventually developed idiopathic epilepsy. As it’s idiopathic, there’s no known direct cause (e.g. no head trauma, no tumors, etc.), but there’s a decent amount of evidence that supports at least a strong correlation between my lifestyle (lack of sleep, overwork, etc.) and the development of the disease. And of course lack of sleep is now one of my primary triggers, but that’s also fairly common amongst epileptics once the disease is ‘active’.

Best wishes GP.

Edit: point really being: it’s mild burnout until it’s not.

Again, no it isn’t. Facebook at no point provides data to its advertisers.

Yes, advertisers can say “show this ad to people who are right-wing and live in DC” (although I doubt “dyed hair” is a category). However, the advertisers are never provided with any data about who is in that category. That data never leaves Facebook.
