Again, your information is hearsay. I'm asking you if you have any words from Friedman's mouth or his typewriter. If he was the terrible person you say he was, there should be plenty in a lifetime of output from him.

Besides, do you really believe someone could talk with Pinochet for 45 minutes and thereby turn him into a monster? It's not credible. It's more likely Pinochet used Friedman for propaganda value, and stroked Friedman's ego. People who run governments tend to be users and tend to be masters at stroking ego.

I once had a conversation with a Senator whom I despised. He was incredibly charming in person. I can easily see falling under the spell of someone like that.

Frankly, you don't like libertarianism, which is your choice, but if this 45 minute conversation with Pinochet (for which no transcript exists) is all you have, it isn't much of anything.

I still think it's ironic that libertarianism's detractors claim it's both about no government at all and oppressive, authoritarian regimes. Clearly both positions can't be right, and likely neither.
That's a good point. The old Moto G did this out of the box. The newer ones, cannot. You need some "bluetooth router app". Beware of super spammy links if you google that. It's not an elegant solution and may or may not work depending on when Android gets updated.

Right now the A50 has a really nice sounding tuner with either my Samsung earbuds or Sony Headphones. NextRadio appears to be winding down it's features, so you have to use the basic tuner, and manually seek to each station, and add it to your favourites.

All this to say, there's not a lot of attention to FM Radio.
E-mail will not protect against bots. Spammers who operate bots are sophisticated enough to run their own domains, under which they can generate valid, working e-mail addresses programmatically.

If e-mail validation worked, then sites that have validated your e-mail wouldn't be throwing captcha's in your face.
I use Multi-Account Containers in Firefox plus the Cookie AutoDelete extension which integrates with it. Does the job for me. Here's my worry, though: the more broadly used cookie-blocking tools are, the greater incentive websites will have to use other, less-transparent methods to attempt to infer your identity without a cookie. These can be nefarious hacks that work like a cookie, or they can be statistical methods that estimate your identity with some degree of confidence. But one way or another, this would swing the pendulum back in the direction of sites knowing a massive amount about their users without users' awareness.

This will be an arms race and seems to be occurring over the course of decades. There will end up being extensions to regularize the timing of your keystrokes and mouseclicks because they give away your identity, VPNs will be integrated into the browser, anything to combat the information leakage.

If my calculations are correct;

A typical sms is 140 bytes...

At 40B messages

Thats 57 terabytes a day

But imessage isnt limited to 160 characters

So lets double that.

And about 100 TB a day as of 2014 - so lets triple that.

And assume 300 TB per day in messaging

And lets divide that in two for between iMessage and sms

But since android tops ios in global qty of devices..

Lets double it. And where in the past the Philippines was known to be the top users of sms, but with ayala scaling up over the last years... lets quadruple that number and so i would estimate 600 TB a day in just iMessage and sms alone.
Billboards are pretty different. It's like if websites had a separate page with ads where you go if you are curious or bored, not doing anything important.

This was not about responsibility and accountability, but mission and direction.

A company should be able to state that its mission is (for example) to deliver the best electric cars in the world, and be able to do so without pressure from shareholders to fire the CEO when the CEO focuses on building production capacity instead of maximising quarterly profits.
Google’s proposal sounds simple because it is vague, does not address all the ways websites can track you, and does not address all the possible compatibility problems with partitioning. WebKit’s policy (and more importantly our code) are what things look like when you actually try to ship tracking protection. Easy to be simple if you don’t have to spell out details or actually ship.
My non-expert [1] understanding is that by default Google's ads are both contextually targeted and personalized. If you recently visited a mattress site and they are trying to bring you back for a sale, you'll get mattress ads everywhere via remarketing, a kind of personalization. On the other hand, if you're visiting a mattress site for the first time, you'll probably also get mattress ads, but this time because of the context of the page.

If the publisher requests non-personalized ads, that turns off the personalization, but not the contextual targeting, so the answer to your question is kind of yes, kind of no: it removes personal targeting from the mix, but contextual targeting is always on.

[1] I work in ads, but in tagging not targeting.

>then sell the gift cards for "clean" money at a discount from face value.

This seems to be a misconception about how money laundering works. The "cleaness" of money isn't an attribute of the bill (unless you robbed a bank and they recorded the serial numbers), it's whether you can plausibly say it originated from a legitimate source. Taking dirty money, buying starbucks gift cards with them, and reselling them doesn't help you prove you got the money legitimately.

If you sell them, you still end up with cash, and any transaction records isn't going to help you. "Oh, you got this money from selling starbucks cards? Can you explain where you got $10000 worth of pre-activated starbucks cards?"

The model of a laundromat is a cash based business with high margins. You'd "buy" $10000 worth of widgets from yourself, buy $1000 worth of "materials", dump/trash those materials (so they don't pile up), then claim $9000 of profit as "clean" money.
The Democrats didn't' lose because of the electoral college. They lost because they had a very, very poor candidate.

The 2020 Democratic candidates are hardly any better.

They need to focus on a maintaining a good economy, and good for working class as well as those educated.

They need to focus on enforcing laws on immigration instead of breaking the laws by providing "sanctuary cities."

If they want, Democrats could pass laws in Congress changing immigration -- during Obama's first two years, there were Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress, yet, Obama didn't change the immigration laws.

Instead of fixing their bad policy which lost out to a candidate like Trump they prefer to criticize Trump and blame Russians and Comey's and electoral college, every, everything but the bad policy.

There's a list of goods[1] that are classified as "cash-like" and are treated like cash advances when you purchase them. They don't really try too hard to crack down on this though, because there's little point. After all, you can always get a cash advance for free by going into a store and offer to pay for someone's purchase in exchange for cash (and a little discount).

Kinda tricky to explain. It like 1 line expression becomes a method what could be method becomes a whole class. What could reasonably be a class is a whole package. So this whole application I am looking at is about 10 KLOC in 100 Java source files arranged in 15 or so packages along with 100s of jars buried somewhere in maven repo.

To compare other application which I wrote in straightforward manner is about 20 Java files in 2-3 packages in total 4 KLOC and 15 external jar files. And my application 4-5 functions from business POV as compared to 2 functions in Spring boot application.

So to me it is more about some cobbled app as opposed to engineered solution which I hope to deliver. Mind you this is all my opinion as management is doubling down on Spring boot and mandate from very top is to convert all Java app in Spring boot based services.

Having worked with these sorts of tech/libraries before... they do little or nothing to solve the hard parts of this kinda problem, like:
a) actually obtaining the requisite knowledge of all the jurisdictions involved,
b) encoding the relevant knowledge to make it useable in a rules engine, and
c) understanding and verifying the intent and interactions of all the rules as expected.

In practice, rules engines are almost never more useful than just coding things up normally in the language of your choice when encoding/building the logic for your product. You just have a few business rules that change within your company via conversations, projects, and people involved.

What they're actually useful for is when your product let's your product's users build up logic in some way that you need encoded and executable. In this case the rules are data from your customer. Think a state machine for a Jira ticket/help desk work flow that your customers define, or some workday process that walks your customer's users through new hire onboarding.

It is about winning. The money is just a way of keeping score.
No, because network effect are a thing. A monopoly isn't bad. What's bad is a dominating player than can control the way an entire market works. One that manipulates that market, stifles innovation, and gouges consumers. There's a pretty good correlation of monopolies (or dominating players) doing this, but that's the problem, not that few players exist. (Note: few players can exist for many reasons)
We need to consider this 'the US could pay much less for debt' line that is recently being pushed.

This is appealing to simple thinkers as it's true on the surface. America pays less ..great. It suits Trump's short term planning agenda naturally. But it fails to recognise a key point. Central banks interest rates aren't priced to coumtries 'the best rates', of borrowing. They are about controlling monetary policy.

Sure every country could drop interest rates to rock bottom. But what happens if inflation drops. Or a recession is looming? At a national level you need to look at higher interest rates as 'growth in the bank' for the future. And in the same way you should keep savings on hand, a govt should keep interest rate movement available for when times are worse.

Further, central bank rates effect consumer rates. Not everyone is eyeballs deep in debt looking for cheaper lending. We have to acknowledge savers too. There was a time not so long ago where people put money into banks expecting to make a reasonable profit. It feels like savers are a forgotten group. It's not suitable for everyone to load their savings into the market and hope timing suits their withdrawal needs.

Show HN: Traffic Champ – Beat traffic,find parking spots easily
Hi HN,
I am Gilbert co-founder of TrafficChamp https://traffichamp.firebaseapp.com/ .

Traffic congestion costs the United States $3bn each year and a subset of that is people trying to look for parking. We own a car but after finally making it through traffic, another nightmare of looking for where to park kicks, and we spend money and lots of time looking for spots.

But what if you could instead exchange your car to another driver going somewhere and they return your car on-demand when you need it? That's why we are building Traffic Champ.

How it would work;

List your car on our site and we will find other car-owning drivers who are interested in using it
Drivers pick exchange spots which they use to drop off there cars to other drivers and you simply go do whatever you want.
In case you need your car back, you simply request it back.
Feel free to reach out for any feedback or questions.
> I understand you may think I'm being hard on Valve, but given how many computers the Steam Client is installed on, the age and size of the company, their familiarity with H1, their past responses to situations like this, not attempting to get in touch with the researcher they said it was a mistake to turn away (and there was a 2nd researcher turned away), and the half-hearted response - I simply can't understand making excuses for them. They should be held to a higher standard than Ma and Pa's coffee shop.

This doesn't make sense. For the number of clients that have their software installed on their computes, Valve is a tiny company (~360 employees). I work in a 1000+ person company and we have only a fraction of the number of installed clients. We also don't know the volume of reports Valve is handling, and the ratio of spurious reports to genuine reports.

The open letter you link to talks about how Valve doesn't even have a bug bounty program at all - so I'm not sure how this is supposed to serve as evidence that Valve's bug bounty program is poorly managed. If anything, it shows that the company listened to criticism and subsequently established a bug bounty program. This is still an overall positive delta, even if their bug bounty program is less than ideal. And when they do make a mistake, they responded constructively to public criticism. I'm really at a loss as to why I'm supposed to see Valve as the villain here.

> It does require bank account access because it's basically a proxy debit card, but it's better than nothing.

I would be wary of any service which requires this level of access to your finances. If the offering is determined worth it, at least set up a separate account with your bank which is not "linked" to any others and transfer into it as needed via standard banking mechanisms.
Not to mention that there are still gaps in various TV shows on any online service.

I can't remember the show, but a year or so ago I saw like seasons 1 to 3 on Netflix, season 4 was available on Amazon for $1.99 an episode, and the current season episodes 8 through current were available via a cable subscription's on demand service.

So even if you paid for it all using multiple different services, you still couldn't legally watch the first 7 or so episodes of the show.

I'm normally very against pirating, but I had absolutely no qualms about doing it there.
Speaking purely in terms of money, I think $4B is still a lot to someone who has a net worth of $65B. The litmus test for me is whether you’d notice if you lost that much. I think you would.

Was it worth it? Maybe not. Still, it’s a substantial amount.
