To emphasize the flaws of this argument, flip it around. You are effectively arguing that you can change the views, values, and beliefs of an entire nation by marketing. This doesn't sound so unreasonable when it's an 'us vs them' because it's easy to underestimate others. So instead let's make it a 'them vs us' argument.

If what you're saying is accurate then similarly you ought be able to radically shift the views, values, and beliefs of America using marketing. Saudi Arabia has a surplus of money. They'd certainly love to spread their cultural values. Perhaps all they need to do to, for instance, get American women to start dressing 'modestly', as they define it, or American men to ostensibly abstain from alcohol and porn would be to spam Americans with advertising for such?

I'm sure you'd agree such notions are quite absurd. Marketing appeals to cultural values, it doesn't define them. I think the one thing that can make this somewhat confusing is that in certain segments of society, consumerism is itself a cultural value. And as advertising feeds heavily off of this, it can blur the relationship. But this goes back to times before modern marketing even existed. For instance the connection between royalty across the world and the color purple was driven exclusively by the fact that purple dyes, Tyrian purple in particular, were extremely rare. There was no purple marketing agency, just people defining and displaying themselves in terms of having things that others could not.

That is evidently what they keep the data for. They want to be able to have the data to access it eventually. If they didn't want to access it eventually, they wouldn't keep it. That is why mass collections, that are stored, are wrong.

The truth is, this service was acquired last year by a US company. They didn't mention it or share the news with their users and they keep marketing themselves as "indie developers", including on their patreon https://www.patreon.com/ThreadReaderApp. In addition to that the original creator left, he is not working on the product anymore.

How can you prove you had one if you never tell them? Delete it and wait a month, or even up to a year.

The agent wouldn't know the profile existed if you don't tell them about it. It might also just be wise to not use any social media if you want to enter.

How to Eliminate Anti-Patterns – Wreck-It Ralph
Around where I live a nuclear plant is being decomissioned - for over 20 years now. The labor cost alone is over €1 billion. I'd say it would be wildly optimistic to plan for €2 billion per plant for decomissioning and waste disposal.

The fund has $40 billion, but there are 60 commercial plants in the US. Even with the optimistic $2 billion per plant and ignoring scientific plants and interim storage facilities and Fukushima situations, there are still about $80 billion that are not yet internalized into nuclear power production costs.
Your argument presupposes that we let the free market run its course, but it's widely agreed that co2 emission controls will have to involve regulation or market steeting such as emissions trading.

That’s not necessarily a problem — coal power being more expensive to run by virtue of a tax on production means there’s an opportunity for renewable energy to undercut it without having to be subsidised directly as the “good” option (c.f. how fracking has reduced the price of gas to the point that running a coal plant is economic madness).
Not sure I understand your complaint. Don't promises ultimately wait upon external events, like a connection receiving data or a timeout being triggered? Given that Javascript is single threaded it is the only way of not blocking the event loop.

Ask HN: How do you handle logging?
Hi!

I work as the backend developer at a mobile app startup, and we don't currently have any centralized logging.

So... how do you do it? Is there any way to have something similar to AWS X-Ray, to trace a single chain of events across platforms? Unless it's a bad idea? I really don't know ^^'
I remember watching in a documentary that many environmental activists in Brazil constantly fear for their lives, as meat companies place hitman on them.

The meat industry is a true mafia in Brazil, and in the US they also have huge power. If we have a look at Brasil exports, meat still plays an essential role, as scrolling down, all the squares the same color as poultry meat are also animal products - https://oec.world/en/profile/country/bra/#targetText=The%20t....

If you click on those, most of the meat is getting exported to China, Russia (pork meat), the middle east and Japan in general, it's like the EU and the US and Canada almost don't buy it from Brazil.

I am not serious at all.

I live in an area that will still be habitable even with 4°C warming. The problem is that the vast majority do not live in this area. They aren't going to die in their hometown. They will have to move and I don't have a lot of space. So the person living here will either be me or them. A lot of people are willing to risk their lives in overloaded smuggling boats and it's not uncommon for them to sink by accident. If necessary, a single shot from a destroyer is enough to prevent them from crossing the sea at all.

Windows 10 October 2018 update (1809) deleting users files from the My Documents folder hardly counts as historical.
The alpha is using three.js, which is fast enough for what alpha is doing. For the beta, I wrote my own renderer based on OGL that uses a lot of optimizations for specific things that you can't easily do with Three.js (batch draw calls of dynamic objects for example).

Largely, the alpha was made in 3 months, after which I added features on and off. I did not work in it full time, but released two major updates from 2017-2018. (Items, and UI overhaul).

In late 2018 I started working on the beta. Entirely new codebase, too much technical debt in the alpha. Many technologies were improved, such as moving from a json based net protocol to a much faster and smaller binary net protocol, moving away from mongodb and threejs.

The result is now a much more stable and future proof engine. We even have a world editor that also runs in the browser and communicates with the server. You can edit the world with multiple people at the same time with the changes reflecting in real time for the players.

Forms of “ownership” are human created incentives towards particular behaviors. Land ownership incentivizes investment and reduces territorial violence.

I volunteer to explain why. Because people are envious, and status and by extension happiness are to some degree determined by relative prosperity, not absolute.

That is to say, there exist people who would be happier if everyone was equally a medieval peasant, rather than today's status quo.

Given that scarce goods exist and will always exist, you can't even say this viewpoint is irrational. When the range of status is minimized, it makes status mobility easier. Human happiness is also adaptive to a sort of baseline norm; it's not clear that increasing prosperity in Western countries actually makes people happier past a certain point.

The decision to put Iran on a ban list, as I wrote very clearly.

> reports regarding Huawei attempting to steal trade secrets

This is called a "national security" issue but doesn't appear to be treated as such. Which means the threat is not taken seriously or there is no threat.

> I don't see the same reports coming out of US companies in regards to Chinese companies

I'm not sure I understand. The reports about Huawei came from US companies. But in case you were wondering why there are no reports about US companies attempting to steal trade secrets there are 2 possible answers: 1) US companies never spy or 2) US media never talks about it. Which sounds more plausible to you? And if it's 2) I'll ask again: is it fair to form an opinion having only half of the picture?
Are you sure you are not just used to see slightly overweight people everywhere, and when someone is at the lower end of normal it looks extraordinary to you? I read he is 1.78m tall, that means he could be 59kg (130 lbs) and still be in the normal BMI range.
The biggest question now is how to incentivize developers to care about battery efficiency. Currently if your website is energy saving, the users cannot feel anything. Why bother spending time optimizing then?

Software developers have tremendous potential for leverage at their disposal.

Some time ago I talked to a software developer who was both impressed by non-profit efforts by NGOs to combat Ebola in Sierra Leone and depressed at the same time because he thought that as a software developer (and not a medical professional, for instance) he couldn't contribute anything to such efforts.

I told him that a huge part of that specific effort in Sierra Leone was a piece of EMR software that allowed physicians and nurses to efficiently capture and retrieve patient data without being able to depend on a reliable local network infrastructure.

I'm certain similar opportunities exist with climate change, too.

If some government buys this technology, they better demand full code -and data- disclosure, including any hardware design and firmware, because adding exceptions to skip certain individuals (spies?) or use it as a surveillance network that phones home local images hidden in updates would be less than trivial.
That does sound quite wonderful. Sadly, it's probably not an option for the USA with all the factors like a lack of train infrastructure and a pretty poor car-sharing culture (that I know of, not a US citizen) combined with the industry at large not really trying to change things because that would eat into their profits. Trains would be a great solution though, even if it would take time to set up the infrastructure proper.
> how did this necro happen

This year Tetris has been around for 35 years, so anniversary based nostalgia is bringing up a lot of old related links.

This is usually happens more for full decade-a-versaries rather than halfs like this, but 25 happens as it is a quarter of a century and 35 (i.e. this case) seems to resonate with people too (perhaps because it is seen as half a lifetime?). In five years time these links will be back even more so (four whole decades), ten years from now maybe less so, but fifteen years from now it'll be 50 years and the world (assuming the upcoming WWIII leaves enough of us and relevant tech knowledge alive) will be tetris-nostalgia-batshit.

That, and it is the sort of great "cool sad" project that is worthy of people being reminded of occasionally.
DeLillo may not believe it, but I do. From the start of the interview:

"INTERVIEWER: Do you have any idea what made you a writer?

DON DeLillo: I have an idea but I’m not sure I believe it. Maybe I wanted to learn how to think. Writing is a concentrated form of thinking. I don’t know what I think about certain subjects, even today, until I sit down and try to write about them."
Spying on users through so-called telemetry and the silly games are a fact, not anecdotes.

“I knew the knowledge was not transferable.”

All knowledge is disposable. What’s transferable is the ability to learn, along with the deeper insights and understanding of the problem space which its practice brings.

I’m personally not upset just worried about the fact that security is now a huge risk because you’re having to trust an extension creator that has access to your entire browser history or worse and who is one auto-update from turning to spy or malware.

You also have a discovery problem having to wade through multiple options increasing your surface area to malware exposure.

IIRC this isn’t even theoretical it’s happened with ones that replaced user style sheets, another “unused” feature that was gradually deprecated.

Maybe the best way forward is to take an apple iPhone approach and have official extensions, similar to the apps that come with the iPhone like the podcast one.

Then when these features are removed they are instead moved to an official extension. Thereby mitigating the security risk and alleviating the discovery problems.

The community can take over these extensions and you have a starting point to personally adapt and fork them that is a lot simpler and faster than trying to maintain a browser fork.

Further the browser maker can more directly see usage of these feature replacing extensions

And finally, when removing features ensure the extensions api has the power to support their replacement.

Breeder reactors are not intended to bring down costs, they are intended to bring down the scale of the waste problem. As someone already said upthread, there is a $40Bn fund for managing said waste, paid for by current-generation nuclear plants. If the breeder reactors reduce waste by 90% (low estimate, most figures predict 99%), that frees up $36Bn to offset the higher cost of breeder reactors.
That is fine, but it doesn't answer the question how Librem is purportedly solving that problem.
