Yes. (Although it was originally a defensive move against Windows Mobile and BlackBerry and Symbian and it then pivoted as soon as they saw the iPhone.)

The big draw for Android for OEMs was that unlike Windows Mobile or Symbian, there was no licensing fee for the devices. HTC, which made the first Android phone, was a Windows Mobile device maker (fun fact, the XDA from XDA Developers, was an OG Windows Mobile forum — XDA was the name of an early series of Windows Mobile devices) — Samsung and LG and Motorola made Windows Mobile phones, Sony used Symbian and so on. Android was free and customizable, which made it enticing for OEMs and carriers to embrace. And unlike BlackBerry, carriers didn’t have to give a portion of the data charge (which was like $20 or $40 a month per BlackBerry device) to BlackBerry, they got to keep all the data fees to themselves.

I assume you're aiming to make your own compiler/interpreter.

Consider postponing the deep-dive into theory until you've tried solving the problem using what you already know. Once you know your way around a problem, digesting theory becomes much easier.

On one level, there's nothing magical about compilers and interpreters. It's the same old regular code [0] solving the same kinds of problems.

What makes it tricky is working on a meta-level in parallel, visualizing what's happening in two dimensions. Like writing Lisp macros if that makes any sense.

I think it's a shame that so many get stuck on parsing and type theory. The top priority should be to get a feedback loop up and running.

Yea. I have no problem (well, few problems) with the Slack product, but it’s way more expensive than its competitors.
DHT perf, sybil resilience, and metadata exposure are weak points in p2p. There are ways to mitigate its necessity: SSB removes the DHT entirely and gossips data through a topology which users configure (on network or via manual setup). At this stage I think you want a hybrid so that you can reliably find data via the DHT, but then move away from the DHT when possible. Once you have reliable supernodes, its feasible that you'd check with them first over an existing connection prior to hitting the DHT.

I don't see how you can suitably solve the ops of federation because you require consumers to administer servers. The hope with P2P is that you can make ops relatively simpler; you remove servers, run the business logic client-side, and build against a distributed CDN. The supernodes will require administration, but, because they're dumb/unopinionated services, they are able to support a variety of applications.

Hello hackers!

I'm Dale. I just launched this invoice builder for freelancers to create and send invoices for free while helping raise funds for nonprofits who need creative work done. Similar to when supermarkets ask you to round up for charity, the difference here is that when a nonprofit gig is funded, the money raised is circulated back to the pockets of freelancers in the goodgigs community. The mission is to help freelancers create meaningful careers by allowing them to work on gigs and causes they're passionate about and get paid for it.

I would love any feedback on;

- The general design of the landing page. I built this with no-code platform Bubble.

- Is the copy clear? Is the mission of goodgigs and the benefits clearly communicated?

Thank you!

That MAY be the case (I'd love for a number of independent parties auditing the security, NOT paid for by AgileBits), but it's still a single point of failure. What if they have data loss? What if that data loss causes local data to be lost due to a sync operation?

I've always used the Dropbox approach + backups. If Dropbox has an outage the file is still synced locally. If Dropbox deletes the file via a sync operation I still have my backups. If I delete the files Dropbox has an undelete option.

All I want is control over the files.

Why do you think so? There will be often enough stopped cars on the road to cause issues, or cement barriers, construction sites.

Do you think that having a filter that removes the objects with speed== 0 from the AI is something an safety engineer should do ? For me it looks like optimizations game developers do when your video card/CPU is not powerful enough so small objects are ignored at a larger distance.

Driver issues are a different topic, since they signed that TOS they will get all the blame for killing themselves.

IMO true self driving(without a human driver) will need more powerful hardware so no safety compromising shortcuts/optimizations are done(not even 1)

Capitalism is not the problem. Markets are
I write content and document workflow products for public government, so was half-expecting many of these to be from my products, but was pleasantly surprised. Only 3 documents came up when I searched on our domains. 2 were OK, just defining which types of document should contain the phrase "not for public release", and the 3rd had already been corrected.

These kinds of things are absolutely in the hands of the organizations who are authoring and publishing the documents, not the vendors like myself who provide the tools, but it is still a relief.
It also changes the risk profile. AgileBits is a big target, my local machines are not.

Julia looked interesting to me, so I tried 1.0 after it came out. I have a oldish laptop (fine for my needs), and every time I tried to do seemingly anything, it spent ~5 minutes recompiling libraries or something. So I've been waiting newer versions that hopefully stop doing that, or for me to buy a better computer.
That seems pretty possible though, if SS7 is the only issue then providers of 2factor SMS auth should just have a number on each network and when a 2factor request comes in they should determine what network its being sent to and then actually send the SMS from the number they have on that network.

Whilst this would be an easy way of going about it (I receive those phishing emails too), it probably only takes a handful of people at major academic institutions to exfiltrate basically everything sci-hub needs. Anyone at my university could plug into a wired Ethernet port anywhere on campus and they’d get a whitelisted IP for most journals, and it couldn’t possibly be traced back to them except for maybe CCTV. A random raspi on the lan would never get picked up by our security team.

The idea is accountability for Entrepreneurs, Freelancers and Consultants.

- My team helps me to get shit done, by being a human todo list. We helped a few beta users and now I want to scale things up.

- Knowing that someone is looking at what I am doing, makes me more productive. My team nudges me to complete outstanding items and it moves me forward every time!

- I had someone simply look at what I ate each day on an app and I lost 30lbs.

I would love your feedback on this idea. Are you more productive if you know that someone is watching/keeping you accountable?

And that's where Opera failed. Marketing. It was much more than just "host some files from your browser"; if was a full ecosystem with a "app-store" and technology that made it work behind NATs etc.

IMHO, the thing that killed Unite (or Alien, as the project was called internally at Opera) was the lack of a killer feature/app that could show off the technology to end users. Too much focus on technology, and way to little focus on apps. It kinda reminds me of Google Wave in many ways.

(At an internal hackaton in Opera, me and some colleagues built a rc-car controlled trough Opera Unite with a webcam and custom javascript plugin to control a servos directly from the browser. We also ended up building a picture frame powered by Opera Unite, and got to present it at a stand at MWC Barcelona. Fun times!)

Maybe a first pass filter would be "has a selection been made according to the image content".

So an unsharp mask would be a no, unless it was applied to background or everything except faces (for example).

Things like white balance don't count, unless you are selective according to the image content; so you could white-balance according to the whole-image statistics, but _not_ "recognise the is a face and use white-balance to, eg, lighten or reduce contrast in that area".

The problem is that Peterson himself misrepresents the situation. The bill simply classified trans people as a class similar to racial or religious minority. Meaning don't discriminate. It wouldn't make it illegal to misgender someone per se. Like walking down the street or by accident, but as a teacher to repeatedly and knowingly misgender a student you are pretty much by definition harassing and discriminating against them. Its basic common sense, but he tries to pretend it's a free speech issue. He's invented an innocuous sounding argument for allowing harrasment and discrimination against trans people and its allowed him to tap into a general anti-trans sentiment which runs deep through conservative culture which has resulted in fame, wealth, and notoriety.

In a similar vein, there is a museum in Israel [0] that has a blind exhibit. They take you through several rooms laid out with different settings, all entirely in the dark. The guide is vision-impaired, and you don't get to see any of the other people in your group.

At the end of the experience they bring you into a room with lights, and you get to delve into what you learned and any assumptions you made about the other people in the group or the guide themself. It was an amazing experience.

I am not sure that most people that watch pro sports have knowledge to judge the fine details. What is pretty clear to anybody is that someone plays better, but what is not clear is why is that so. For every dominant pro athlete there might be many that were injured or had other problems that degraded their performance.
I do not see the downsides here, what are you afraid of?

Think about it like this, Ford and BMW are collaborating to make better airbags , in future both companies customers will have more safety because of this so no BMW customers should be upset that the Ford ones also got better airbags. What about the other companies though? Some are making good enough airbags in their opinion, some are buying airbags from a third party that are also good enough.

I am wondering if there is a bit of Silicon Valley jelosy that this companies won't buy SV tech that includes the latest ML buzzwords, the thing is that cars had driver assist features before SV made the autopilot cool again.
Thanks for the reply.

> Sell me on why I would use your credit union.

Here’s an article about how your banking data is probably being sold: [1]

Concern for privacy would be the main selling point. But it would also have to be a great banking experience too. Great website and mobile apps. And rates that beat the competition.

> Concerns about your idea:
> - Banking laws / regulations are very detailed in the US don't allow for much anonymity for traditional consumer banking accounts. (there are some legal ways to do that aren't traditional consumer banking, it but it is hardly fool proof and legally complex and I'm not sure about rolling that out at scale)

It sounds like you know more about this than I do. Any resources you can direct me to so I can learn more?

> - Once you introduce a credit / debit card the privacy may be out the window as 3rd parties are involved.

I’m hoping there will be a technology solution we could develop that would make credit/debit transaction data private. Perhaps a card that generates a new credit card number for every transaction?

> - People might simply not care / will be a hard sell to get them to understand / care.

Agreed. I wanted to test the idea here because I thought HN would have more people who care about privacy.

Well you can set an application firewall to block all internet access of the 1Password app. So, it can't update automatically, and when you manually update it and it would contain malicious code, it still can't connect/upload anything to the internet.
You can even use 1Password sync via iCloud, which is handled externally - not by 1Password, but by macOS.

Unfortunately, this can not be done on an iOS device (no app firewall), since Apple locks down everything and decided users may not control their own devices anymore :'(

I also seem to remember performance and reliability being a bit weak.
You would be a fool to act based off only 2 instances of seeing a particular behaviour. That's why you have to weigh up how many instances you've seen. Sometimes if it's less than X instances it's not worth considering that particular statistic as valid.

Now say I have thousands of hands viewed against you, and you raise pre-flop 50% of the time. That is pretty significant information about the types of hands you play. If I have only 10 hands I've observed, that same stat means nothing.

The theoretical optimal play depends on who you're playing, as more value could be extracted in certain situations vs certain players.

For example, if I've seen you face a pre-flop 3-bet 1000 times and you've folded 99% of the time. That would be a good opportunity to recognise that 3-bet bluffing this player more often would have value, and be a more optimal play than some default. Contrast playing someone who called pre-flop 3-bets 75% of the time it wouldn't be optimal to 3 bet bluff here. Different opponents, different optimal plays.
So they're more social than I am?
