You forgot #4: young kids have, in comparison to most adults, an insane amount of free time to spend watching content, and usually don't object if that content is of bad quality. They're the ideal audience to suck up truckloads of cheaply produced animations.
Was this a sub-form of the "emergent behaviour" school of intelligence? Connectionists?
I think you have that backwards. Okeefe has paid 100k in damages to an ACORN employee, for libel.
By they, do you mean Google? Was there someone other than Jen Gennai? I think there are a lot of ways to interpret what she said, and it sounded to me, when I read it, that she was referring to the online foreign influence campaigns, but since the discussion was informal and edited, it's hard to know the exact context, or even what her hand in following through on that would look like.
The Challenges with Single Toggle Buttons
I tend to agree and german political discourse about network development seems to generally be focused on broadband for rural areas with shitty if any internet available right now. Thus it's probably more addressing class divide than maximizing overall GDP or something like that.
I've never heard of that rule. Ambiguous pronouns like this are pretty common in English. In fact, figuring out what the ambiguous pronoun refers to is the basis for the Winograd Schema, a challenge for AI especially relevant to translation tasks [1].

I think it most of europe it is illegal. Not so in the US ?
This made me feel sad - what's a good charity to donate $500 to?
Twitter was not made for serious, challenging conversation from the beginning.
Every feature it has is designed for short, sarcastic tweets or replies. It's almost hardcoded to the product. Possibly that's why politicians love it.
This is essentially what people asked Cable for all these years - a la carte service. They wouldn't or couldn't do it, so now we're getting this.

There was no way content was going to let third parties basically take the place of Cable at a fraction of the cost. What will be interesting is if we end up with bundlers to combine billing because of subscription burnout and whether it will just be the Cable companies.
We're not talking about a stolen candy bar. Slap the perps wrist and they get the point.

Executives will make a dishonest decision knowing the consequences. Then they'll make $100m off the decision, get fined $20m by Uncle Sam, get a $20m golden parachute, and then do it all over again next week. Because it made financial sense to break the law at that time.

Fining a billion dollar company because an individual decided to lie is a consequence-less punishment in the same way that stealing a $1 cheeseburger from McDonalds corporate is a victimless crime.
Here's the problem space - I'm interested in how HN would design AirDrop without this information leak:

How do you allow two mutually untrusted client devices to determine that they share a common 9-digit number, without disclosing the secret? And for bonus points, how do you allow this to happen without two-way communication or access to a central authority?
not on its own, but it could help move along anti-trust or whatever litigation: recall that an intel VP was brought in to testify against microsoft in that ordeal, so imagine what effects an insider with (presumably) evidence and an agenda could have.
Skeema looks cool, and I've long been a fan of a similar tool that's specific to SQL Server – DB Ghost. I even implemented some pretty handy additional automation on top of it at various companies at which I worked. There were tho, inevitably, a small number of schema changes that needed to be encapsulated as 'migrations', and it could be arbitrarily complex and difficult to write, and test, them in a way that supported automatic rollbacks.
it was rather seen as a way to fund ambitious computational neuroscience projects otherwise unimaginable.

I don't mean to be petty, but I read that with a very intellectually dishonest tone: By misleading the goals, we secured funds to do what we really intended which wasn't sexy enough:

I don't think it's fair to compare it to the Nord.
Yes, so the actual innovation occured in academic settings, as was the query.
> For humanity to continue growing as a species we have to become more efficient with land use.

This is an interesting contradiction. I agree we need to be more efficient with land use, but listening to some of the climate change predictions, we're going to need as much land as possible to sustain a population living in areas where agriculture may be limited or impossible.
Is this a humble brag? What kind of answers are you expecting? What problem are you trying to solve?
This is what I thought was the case since the "Adpolcalypse". I made the point to my colleagues that what YouTube wanted was slightly predatory in nature. Kids have no spending power, why are we catering to them on that platform? Why can't an adult, who has spending power, watch edgy content if they want to? Kids are exploited while adults are being treated like children.

Then there was the instance, a sort of another soft "Adpocalypse" where all these videos featuring children had creepy comments. This caused a culling of comments on certain videos, but it was ultimately a situation YouTube had fostered.
Not only does submitting a claim prevent you from suing Equifax, the only way to preserve your right to sue is to actively exclude yourself from the settlement. See FAQs 19 and 23.

I'm not implying I have 'water pouches' or anything as silly.
1.5L of water in my stomach gets processed as quickly as my kidneys can manage. Thus I urinate out a large % of that liquid intake before use can be made of it.

Continually drinking small amounts doesn't overwhelm my stomach and therefore it feels like I urinate less, and 'retain' that water.
If this system only educates doctors about the benefits of profitable patented effective drugs, they are overprescribing an arbitrary subset of effective drugs because they lack information about non-profitable treatment options.
Truly, one would think you’d still need an authority to connect the water supply usage to the blockchain per se.
I find it interesting that income more than tripled compared to the previous year's quarter, but their effective tax rate dropped from 24 percent to 18.
The government doesn't need the authority and power, it already has it, Facebook could be turned off tomorrow if the government decided it wanted to do so. What it needs is a plan and motivation to do so.

A huge amount of US crop land is dedicated to livestock feed. I'm usually skeptical of market based solutions, but an omnivorous diet will probably become a luxury (middle-class people will have a generally herbivorous diet, with occasional meat for special occasions) before factory farming becomes the only way to feed the masses.

Here's a great visualization of how we use our land: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-us-land-use/
Consider the fact that brain damage can change a person's personality. That strikes me as a powerful indication that there is not a higher level on which the consciousness lives with an interface to the wetware.

In general, I think people would appreciate the link not being to a paywall.
>Wouldn't this work? https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/mem/fn.swap.html

If you click the [src] link on that page, you'll see that the implementation of std::mem::swap uses unsafe. I'm no Rust expert, but I'm also not aware of a way to swap pointers without unsafe.
Which is totally fair, I get that. It’s kind of my point: anything financially out of the ordinary, plus the massive (to them) red flag of no credit history, would be a very difficult obstacle to overcome in getting a loan.
> This can happen naturally in a code-expanding tree walk

just because something can be interpreted as a tree, it's not suddenly an Abstract Syntax Tree. It's mainly nothing more than a hierarchical tokenizer format.

A flexibility of the Lisp source representation comes because it is NOT an AST and thus not bound to a particular correctly represented syntax. A macro for example can turn any wild combination of tokens into more wild combination of tokens - regardless of what the symbols/numbers/lists/strings, ... actually might 'mean'.
>This is an interesting cryptography question

It's not a rule, sorry. Let me change my language to be less authoritative.
A very large number of non-apple cell phones are sold in the US. This doesn't seem like a well founded fear.
Why would you think The Verge/Comcast is an independent source when MSNBC/Comcast spent years firing their anchormen for questioning foreign invasions and WMDs. If you boiled Gabbard down to a single issue, it would be anti-war.
Clearly I made the mistake of trying to tell a joke in this sacred forum.

72% is more than high enough for me to believe them, but it's not 100% hence the gag
That part is indeed reasonable.

What’s less reasonable is that you also have to participate in the system if you want a bank account or electricity or such. Or, heck, you don’t even need that; just have some fraudster open an account with your info and you’re in.
In the US yes, in a lot of other country in the world they don't have a credit score as crazy as this. The only thing that's registered in the Netherlands for instance is how much you have to pay every month in interest and if you have failed to pay any of the bills for loans you have. This is submitted to the government and requested and updated by banks.
I mean, I don't know how to tell you guys, but from the perspective of an east coaster, the entire peninsula (including SF) looks like this. It feels like some kind of parallel universe where nothing makes sense.

Like I hear about a housing crisis in SF but I go there and there are supermarkets surrounded by parking lots in the middle of the city. There are literal big-box stores like you'd see in the suburbs adjacent to the central business district, like that Petco Safeway block near Mission Bay.

In the Embarcadero there are actual motor inns, crappy hotels with one story raised 10 feet off the ground with parking spaces below them. Like a whole bunch of them. You don't even see those in abandoned small towns any more.

You head to the beach and you go through mile after mile of outer sunset with crappy little 2 story houses and residential streets dominated by garage doors which is like the most people-unfriendly building style known to man.

Like do people know that every little private one-car garage has no benefit on a larger scale? The garage holds one car, and the curb cut prevents parking on the street in front, for a net gain of zero parking spaces.

Yet the entire city is dominated by garages at street level. And two story buildings, and mile after mile of awful zero-architecture postwar commercial properties.

Yes the painted ladies are pretty, don't bulldoze them. Landmark Lombard street and some of the other charming blocks, Sure why not. But it's a global commercial city willing to build 50+ story office towers, and unwilling to do anything about the dozens of square miles of 1-2 story unredeemable residential surrounding them.

It's insane.
>The question you have to ask is what happens when you lose power and there are 'n' writes queued to the storage device. How has the kernel marked that data? Historically once the disk accepted the write and returned kernels would say "ok, data on disk" buffer clean now.

Is there a reason why storage devices can't accept the write, and then notify the kernel when the the write is complete? I'm fairly certain that's how it works right now.

>The third problem that crops up is that the computer on the storage device crashes (or watchdog resets) and it goes back and doesn't remember what commands it had in the queue. So some time later your kernel better ask "hey why haven't you acknowledged this write we sent 50mS ago?" and have the disk say "What write?" and replay it.

Don't you run into the same issue if you were doing writes and the user yanked out the power? What's written after the last fsync is pretty much undefined behavior and it's up to the application/filesystem's journaling mechanism to deal with it.

>One school of thought was "Command queuing in the storage device is always bad, the kernel knows more, has more memory, and is ultimately responsible for what is and what is not on disk." So the kernel would 'hold' writes to the disk until the write was sufficiently aged or until enough writes had accumulated to do a "streaming" write (multiple sectors on the same track). But for non-spinning media there is no seek time so there is no advantage. Except for flash, you have to erase a page which can be a lot of data which then has to be rewritten with the new stuff.

So command queuing is bad except on hard disks and flash. Then what else is left? Those two cover 99.99% of consumer storage.
That doesn't make sense. It's whether they are in my contact list.

If visibility is set to everyone then your phone will identify itself using its phone number so people know which device is yours and can click to share with it.
In the US, it would be Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Title 47 United States Code).
The advice seemed to be to, first, support (i.e. correctly ignore) any possibly new value in both the client and server (i.e. any client of the 'schema').
Those are very appealing features for sure. My point is specifically that SD cards aren’t actually admissible as a solution - specifically in the context as a main storage device as a general-purpose computer - they are not admissible based only on a cost-benefit ratio because they are broken. Like a glass that is big, cheap, holds any liquid, and is right next to you isn’t admissible if it has a hole in the bottom.

There’s another shadow factor. Probably that they are perceived as the only available thing?

Probably also it is stupid easy for a hardware designer / implementer to tack on an SD card interface.
New nanoantennas to improve ultra-fast wireless connections
The problem here is that pharmaceutical companies' marketing departments have a deep conflict of interest. They're incentivized to encourage doctors to use the drug that makes their company the most profit, not the drug that is best for the patient.

And there is plenty of research demonstrating that this is exactly what they do, and that doctors are indeed swayed by it, because, as you say, they don't have the time to do keep up with it all on their own.

And yes, there is a fundamental difference to consider here: My doctor has a fiduciary responsibility to do what's best for my health, to the best of their ability, and drug marketing compromises that. By contrast, nobody has any fiduciary responsibilities related to which brand of toilet paper I use.
Apple to Buy Intel's Cellular Modem Business
Considering what was exposed with the DNC, Press sources and the Clinton campaign last election, along with high level support from Google management and insiders, it's on the edge of conspiracy, but not beyond a reasonable realm of consideration.
Apple did a good job w/ their CPUs. I assume that they are planning to do something similar with their modems.
In-kind political favors by companies is expressly illegal under FEC regulations. Google propping up a candidate or suppressing another is effectively campaign contributions (or suppression) worth millions of dollars by Google to certain candidates, in violation of FEC regulations.

The monopoly status has weight in such cases, as it can be construed as illegal electioneering, given Google's control over speech discovery on the internet.
TV is dead in the same way CD sales were dead.

Anecdotally (yes, just me) - I've built a "whole piracy stack on my NAS" - Sonarr, Radarr, Deluge, NZBGet, Plex, Pushbullet, with paid services for omgwtfnzbs, usenet and oznzb (I bought plex lifetime) - oh and a homerun-HD plugged into a new aerial I just had fitted to my house (pirates don't seem to care about my local UK TV).

I also pay for netflix, amazon prime, semi-premium-cable (that also provides my internet) and pay my UK TV license.

Maybe 80-90%+ of what I take from "the piracy stack" is available on the "plethora of stuff I pay for". The problem is (as with the early days of music downloads) there's no decent way of wrangling that together into a nice UI to consume from.

This is silly.

When I realized this was silly, was when I found myself deliberately switching from plex to netflix to watch a show, for the sole reason that "I wanted netflix to know I was watching it and to bump up the viewer count, so they didn't cancel it".

Which reminds me.. I'd be fascinated to know if there was a Netflix stat of "existing subscribers that watch a show from episode 2 onwards"

Which further reminds me that if anybody ever wishes to sell Helm/K8/docker to the masses, this is the perfect ingress.

Or more like the people at the bottom would be choking to death while the top % of the world would go on without changing anything because it wouldn't affect them. Unless you're proposing to apply a sliding cost based on income (good luck) this would just lead to poor genocide.

Many do, many don’t. And they’d keep on hiring just fine if they couldn’t.

As for getting a loan from a banker you’ve never met, my point exactly. They’re a convenient evil.
That's true, but there is the perspective that iPhone users are more valuable, as they typically spend more money.
I watch a lot of Pluto TV now. It’s like having cable but all totally free and has a PS4 app. Mystery Science Theater 3000 channel is my favorite.
Yes, it's obvious. There's no way a single person will consume as much energy as the whole country does today. These days, the energy use per capita goes down in developed countries, so the current energy consumption growth is mostly due to poorer places catching up.
I'm sure that your job is very wonderful, but the NAWPA post was not entirely serious, and I hope that a water resources researcher would realize that first of all. For one thing, it's not a municipal drinking water project, it's an irrigation project to deliver large amounts of water to (potential) cropland in the American Southwest.

It's really about (massively) increasing US (and therefore world) food production. If first world municipalities run out of water, people can always move. If the third world runs out of food due to price increases, they die in very large quantities. And I promise you, human beings will certainly decide to destroy a very great deal of habitat before letting a few billion people starve in the face of climate change.
With the massive settlement with QCOM, Apple's given themselves 6 years to try and develop competing chips which Intel wasn't capable of after many years and multi billion R&D investments. Given they're going to continue using Intel's existing 2,200 staff it's not clear what Apple can bring to the table other than a bigger R&D budget, perhaps they can eek out an edge with their tighter h/w + s/w integration. But as they're taking over the development they must think they can or at least use it as a bargaining chip for more favorable licensing from QCOM.

From a company health and security perspective it makes sense for a company as large as Apple to try and not be beholden to an external company for core technology, so from that perspective given the investment is a rounding error for Apple they might as well continue trying to compete.
Well, we know that heart transplants, for example, can give someone many more years to live. But if you transplant a good heart to a person who died 10 minutes ago in the same way you would to a living person, the person won't come back.
So is "stop having more than 2 children".

Another one is "stop buying things you don't really need".

But yeah, good luck convincing people to get behind that.
In Quebec we recently had a massive information leak from Desjardins, a credit union used by most of the population. It didn't take long for people to receive phishing SMS trying to get information from people.

It's not exactly the same, but work the same way.
Personally, I'd rather live in NYC or Tokyo than the Bay, and indeed that is the choice I eventually made.
Here is the most interesting sentence: "Prior period results

I think the incentive should be to call the police and have them impound it in a legal way, or just move it off of their property, not have a private party come and steal the scooters. Just because something is on your property, does not mean you can legally take it - if you park in my driveway, I can't just steal your car.
> DirecTV, Comcast, and Netflix are all losing customers. Are there winners in this space

Yes, content-owner owned streaming services, and note that both DirecTV and Comcast are (or are owned by) content owners which have or are imminently launching streaming services focussed on first-party content.
Is the iPhone the major revenue driver for any carrier? What matters to the carrier is the plan they can sell you, not the price of the phone you're using with that plan. I could believe that iPhone users on average have more expensive plans (due to being less price sensitive), but in most markets Android has the dominant market share.

Edit: I suppose carriers are regional, so the iPhone might be the major revenue driver in the US, but Android can't be too far behind. Neglecting 40% of your userbase doesn't seem like good business.
That is not contrary to what I'm saying.
Runs on Librem 5 – Apache Web Server
Honest question. Would you actually rather have them send false hits and hide how much they're tracking?

I ask this because in that infamous Forbes article about Target and the pregnant girl they mention how they now add ads for things they don't think you are interested in, in an effort to creep people out less. (To me this feels a little worse) Plenty of groups do purposefully send false hits to make it less creepy to the target.
The best thing to do is to ignore their arguments and disallow more mergers...and then break up the bigger companies that make those mergers more necessary.
If Apple brought the design/implementation of their modems in house, as they have with much of their chipset design, and as a result Intel ceased pursuing the modem business, because they'd lost their biggest customer, would your concerns be the same?
Campaigns effectively have no choice but to try to use Facebook better than their rivals, so it's something to be celebrated in isolation from the problems of the underlying platform.

Facebook was still 4 years from IPOing in 2008, so it was definitely a different time. The vast capital Zuckerberg personally has at his disposal thanks to owning the majority of voting shares is unprecedented. Zuckerberg can have Facebook easily buy any up and coming social networks at prices the startups can't refuse (eg Instagram). This behavior is good for Zuckerberg, good for Facebook, good for venture capitalists, and even good for the securities markets at large. This behavior is not good for consumers or competition which is exactly the point of antitrust actions.
