This will go against the grain here on HN. I don't know how anyone can imagine self driving even succeeding in real world, leave alone in the so called third world, unless all vehicles are self driven and operate in a controlled environment. There are some really important things pending, like accurate NLP and computer vision, but no, we need something shiny and useless. I think some smart computer scientists are getting rich by carrot sticking some gullible billionaire investors. Good for them. I hope some of the really useful stuff piggy back on this rather lofty endeavor.
> psychologically effective times
if this were true, then billions of dollars would be spent advertising in bars and therapy centers (where people are most vulnerable).

I agree psychological tricks can be used by advertising ("one weird trick to...") but it's not a major practice to advertise when they are vulnerable.

> don't need
90% of what we buy are not necessities. So this is not just a problem for advertising but for 90% of what we produce. It's okay for people to buy (and advertise) things that they want, not need. In the modern era, we have wealth way beyond covering necessities.

> can't afford them
is this a problem with advertising or people's finical responsibility?

> they are actively harmful
Is advertising the problem here? If a product or service is actively harmful, why is it legal? Or you prefer a system where there are legal harmful products, but we just can't talk about them?

It seems there are businesses that are bad (or you don't agree with), but you are projecting advertising as the root of the problem. Maybe consider it's the core business you don't like?
Algebraic effects can actually be implemented with delimited continuations [0].

Algebraic effects are more aimed towards statically typed languages like Haskell or Ocaml. They can replace most uses of monad transformers, which has both cognitive and performance benefits.

As you showed, there are better ways of solving the problem in lisps.

Tagless final algebras are another much more popular alternative that has been proven very effective in practical software. In tagless final, one writes composable DSLs (which are just records of functions) with the nature and interpretation of effects left abstract.

One then writes interpreters which interpret the DSL, giving meaning to the effects. This achieves the same fundamental goals as algebraic effects, but just using the ordinary language features of static FP languages.

I had to deal with this a number of years ago, and my response was "If you want MDM on the device to enable mail, then you buy me a separate device. Otherwise, I will access mail when I am at my corporate laptop or on the web via VPN." Never let them MDM your personal device, because they will possibly auto-wipe your phone if something proprietary or secret leaks out via email and you are on the distro.
Can confirm; the Fortune 500 company I work for has pretty extensive support for BYOD. Managers can be stodgy about providing work phones, plus carrying two devices is a pain.

I use Android so I'm relying on the Android for Work sandboxing, but truthfully I don't know the exact details of what that does and does not allow my employer to access. It does bother me, but I don't feel like I have a whole lot of choice. Being able to respond to Google Chat messages at any time (when away for lunch, for example), is feeling more and more like a requirement/expectation.

Also, commuting on the train pretty much requires mobile Hangouts support (which Google effectively makes impossible to use via a website if you're on Android), unless you want to always be at your desk in the office prior to the first meeting each day.

Ask. Since this often affects larger enterprises, start at the help/service desk. If that doesn't get you an answer, try Information Assurance or Information Security departments. Lastly, most large orgs have a Privacy office.

During all communications, make it clear what your concerns are; perhaps even link to articles like this one.

Corporations that care about customer and employee privacy will take such inquiries seriously.
Yes! A glaring example of dependency hell (in Debian words "incompatible library changes with reverse dependencies").

Patching for an older version of libebml is not an issue if that library is not vulnerable (that's why folks use LTS and stable). Want maintainers to know there's a vulnerability? Publish a CVE _for libebml_.

How does this affect plans to sequester carbon by planting trees?

I know in Canada our forests have been a net carbon source rather than sink for almost two decades, as they burn or fall to invasive insects moving north with the warmer weather.

Obviously a tree sequesters carbon while still living. But, how likely are new forests to last in conditions of rapid changes in temperature and dryness?

-------

Edited to add that the article does have some comments on this indirectly, stating that since trees live a long time, they migrate too slowly for the pace of climate change we have coming. Forest experts say the french forest ecosystem won't survive.

L’étude montre aussi que les espèces qui se renouvellent en un an s’adaptent plus vite que les espèces pérennes. Mais les arbres, dont certaines essences peuvent vivre des centaines d’années, ont une mobilité trop lente pour s’adapter au réchauffement actuel. « Sur une échelle très longue, les espèces vont progressivement migrer. Mais là, le changement climatique est extrêmement rapide ! Il va s’installer sur un siècle, c’est le temps de vie de certains arbres », alerte Nicolas Viovy, du LSCE

......

Les chercheurs sont, pour l’heure, assez pessimistes. « Si on continue sur la lancée des émissions actuelles de CO2, le système forestier français ne va pas résister. Il faut changer drastiquement de mode de vie sinon les écosystèmes ne s’en sortiront pas. Mais ce qui est désolant, c’est qu’on le dit depuis les années 2000, et ça ne change rien », s’inquiète Hervé Cochard, de l’INRA. Même si Brigitte Musch estime que la situation n’est « pas encore irréversible », elle met en garde : si les arbres déclinent, « ils n’absorbent plus de gaz carbonique », ce qui « amplifie le réchauffement climatique »

No, this is not true at all. People will _only_ read the color part and skip anything else, which is equally bad to not finding it immediately, if not worse.

And there are also color blind people for whom the color might be even worse than the lack of it.

I'm not wild about this article; it gives lots of "you can go from code like this, to code like this!" examples with non-equivalent functionality, which is confusing if you're skimming.

Totally separate from stylistic quibbles, I also think effect systems are often oversold by folks who like them (usually, in my experience, folks from a functional background).

Fundamentally, a lot of the code we write is the effectful IO plumbing. By that I mean: there are very few complicated algorithms, or really any hand-written algorithms at all, in a large amount of code written for modern systems. Instead, the complexity and value of the code is in the way it coordinates different external IO sources/sinks. This is pretty well illustrated in the article's toy directory enumeration/file handling example: with the IO/system specific stuff extracted into the effect receivers (processors? handlers?), the remaining code is not just simple, it's vacuously simple. The complexity and trickiness of handling IO, dealing with error conditions, etc. all remains, though, in the effect receivers. This is subjective, but that seems more akin to the "over-extracting methods to the point where all you do is increase the line count" school of refactoring than the "improving the comprehensibility/maintainability of the code" school. Generifying IO interactions behind an effect system in a codebase that is primarily occupied with gluing together external systems results in moving so much of the code into effect receivers that nothing useful remains behind.

Put another way: often, what we're doing is intimately coupled with how: like, sure, I'm technically "piping data from a source into a sink with a transformer in between", but they don't pay me to write "source |> transformer |> sink", they pay me to write (for example) the SELECT statement in the source, the column mapping/reformatting logic of the transformer, and the POST-to-endpoint in the sink. If those things already existed, it would be the one-liner above, but they don't for the business domain, so we make them. Once they're written, by all means, modularize them and make them easily usable in a streamable, convenient way. But most of the interesting code, once you peel back the curtain on "source" or "sink" is still going to be in its effectfulness.

Then there's the argument from modularity/swappability: that you can replace effect handlers with equivalent handlers for doing other things. If you're writing a system with many swappable backends, this may be useful. However, most systems don't have that property. Datastores and effect receivers change much less often than the data flow itself. And past a certain point you end up with "old Java"-style modularity: things abstracted so far away in service to unneeded pluggability that the code becomes harder to follow and maintain (especially given that the code may be primarily/near-exclusively concerned with specifics of IO flow).

To be sure, there are some cases where effect systems can really help. I just don't think those are as numerous as FP proponents think they are.
Can anyone with a firmer understanding of the issue tell me if this is an appropriate penalty or not?

Should we expect to see some of these prohibitions generalized to more companies?

* Facebook is prohibited from using telephone numbers obtained to enable a security feature (e.g., two-factor authentication) for advertising

* Facebook must encrypt user passwords and regularly scan to detect whether any passwords are stored in plaintext

You sounds as if you have a very small diversity of people you interact with. I have met just about every stereotype.

I just use Android 7+'s work profile feature - basically a walled garden for MDM - and turn off work notifications on nights and weekends. After that it's just a matter of a tiny speck of self-control (unless you're workaholic, it's not that hard _not_ to open a work app) and I don't get annoyed by work stuff despite it being setup on my personal device.
At my current org, it was hinted to us that if we tied (email forwards, etc.) or added any work account to a personal device, that the personal accounts and device could be subject to audits.

Don't mix your work and personal stuff. Keep it separate, keep it safe.
Yes, there are probably sketchy MDM providers that specialize in employee tracking / spying.

I'm speaking to what's possible to accomplish out of the box with G Suite's Advanced MDM offering, without an extreme amount of additional effort.

(This is relevant because, when prompted to install a MDM profile, the MDM provider such as G Suite is visible to the end user)
Even Nintendo has been willing to lean back on its cash-cows lately -- Mario (platformers, Party, and Kart) and Pokemon get minimal-change frequent-releases, Kirby's been static even by its own standards for the last few years, lots of their other first-party stuff hasn't seen a release in ages.

Zelda's looking good between BotW and an upcoming remake of a relatively-small and especially old game, Fire Emblem has something that looks like an interesting shift coming up, and Metroid... well, Metroid's been a mixed bag since Other M, but if they were willing to scrap and start over on Prime 4 then there's room to hope. So it's not all bad.

Sure, but I assume there's something in the device itself that indicates there is a profile or remote access? I don't see a work-related profile on my phone, but maybe there's something else beyond the obvious Profiles entry in General settings?
We have 40+ degrees Celsius or about 104 Fahrenheit in Cologne (GER) this week. Trees are dying in the city as well, obviously faster.
500-Year-Old Shipwreck Discovered in Baltic Sea Looks ‘Like It Sank Yesterday’
Quick translation: Because of heat waves and droughts, the coniferous forests of France are drying out and dying.

A few interesting points:

- Plants with a short lifecycle migrate pretty quickly with climate change, (so, plants that like heat are moving further north). Trees, because they have a long life cycle, don't move at the same pace, so more are dying.

- There's a government project called "Project Giono" where people are taking seeds (& trees?) from the southern forests that are used to heat and planting them in the north. For example, they might take stuff from forests near Marseille, (on the Mediterranean coast), and plant them in the forests of Verdun, (northeast of Paris).

- There are 2 ways trees deal with a lack of water and heat: Option 1 is to close up their pores and stop transpiration. This way they don't run out of water, but may overheat. Option 2: Get as much water as possible and increase transpiration to cool off - but in this case if there's not enough water air bubbles will end up in the tree's veins and it'll essentially have a stroke.

Edit: formatting.
I'm a remote contractor. Usually, if my customer wants me to install some tracking software (recording you're present in front of PC, tracking mouse/keyboard activity, etc) I agree only on one term: they need to send me a machine with this software so I can use it while doing work. I lose customers this way, though most of the time people agree to not have this kind of software involved instead of rejecting offer altogether.

If I worked in an office environment and company wanted me to use tracking software I'd see no problems with it. But it should be installed on a company provided phone. Which in the best case I'd leave at office off work, or in other cases - carry home and store it there.

The argument about the $60 price point seems specious to me. Video games have massive economies of scale and the market has been growing steadily faster than inflation, meaning that while the price point has been the same, the volume of sales have increased with a low marginal cost for each unit sold.

Along with sheer sales volume, digital distribution has lowered publishing costs, created after-markets for DLC, and reduced the secondary market. Digital distribution also allows for much greater price elasticity.

If anything, you could argue that digital publishers like Steam, PlayStation Store, etc, should lower their cut, but it seems like that's starting to happen on the PC with increased competition in the space from Epic, Origin, etc.

I think the real problem with the industry is that video games are a hit business where a handful of games make almost all the profit. The best way to profit in a space like this is to crank out content as cheaply as possible.

This is evidenced by the fact that game developers have been working crunch since back in the 90s when a $50 game was worth $80 in 2018 dollars.

Everybody, including researchers, has a duty to publish things responsibly and if necessary, withhold the publication. Despite the economical incentives, the moral responsibility is to research and harden systems, not to publish whatever and build a resume.

You can't just publish information harmful to public and say "well I'm a researcher, so I can do anything I want". Publishing instructions to bypass important security restrictions that people rely on is often harmful and may be even illegal in some countries, for good reason - to protect the people.
