This is a logical fallacy. The fallacy of relative privation.[1]

Just because you ordered food and didn't cook at home doesn't imply you don't care about the environment. Perhaps you cook at home most days but on this particular day you were going to get home from work late and still needed to have dinner ready for your family. You still want the food delivery to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Thus I eschew being given paper plates, styrofoam containers, etc when I order out (as I can simply use my reusable ones at home with that food).

Letter, yes. Spirit, I'm not so sure, it feels like Google and FB want to keep doing what they're already doing, and comply where they have to, instead of reconsidering whether they actually need all that data and need these dark patters for consent (which would be the spirit of GDPR)

And the smaller-than-FAANG companies... too many checklists, contracts and theater ("GDPR requires us to disable autofill on this form") and not enough actual rethinking what they're doing and if they should change their approach to data... so we'll still be seeing plenty of breaches where they shouldn't even be having the breached data

It'll probably be a decade before we see real effect from the GDPR...
I wouldn't mind the lower power that much, but camera is one of my main use cases for phone. Pixel is just so damn good at taking pictures. The cheap phones do have considerably worse cameras, no way around that.
Totally agree.

But it sounds like you are taking it personally. The doctors are embedded in a system and they act they way they do because their environment teaches them to, not because it is a personal attack against you.

Doctors often deal with difficult people, and it takes care to avoid one being stereotyped: boxed into a label that doesn't help one. You don't want to be labelled: drug-seeker, hypochondriac, batshit crazy, or conceited know-it-all, etc.

Use the doctors, listen to them, and treat them as people trying to help you; if you want to get treatment from them.

I have seen it from a doctor's point of view (I have seen the patient stereotypes), and I think that the majority of us would act the same way as the doctors if we were put in their situation.

I believe you completely need to be in charge of your own health solutions, and it is a good idea to explore safe variations of a variety of treatments - science works if you can be suitably objective with your measurements. But one variation you should properly trial is whatever the doctor says to.

If it is a mental issue, then perhaps:

1. Get multiple videos of yourself interacting. Humans usually suck at self awareness when it comes to the psyche.

2. If you can find someone else with the same label that has it "worse" (as per a neutral third party), then try and watch how they act and often disown/deny/distort their world. Or watch videos online and see the weird and wonderful shit our brains do to us!!!

I wish you good luck finding a solution that helps you.

It has nothing to do with Tivoization. The kernel is a collective work without copyright assignment to a central authority. It would be too much work to contact everyone with a claim to copyright (including estates of deceased coders) to get their blessing for a relicense. Conversely, everything under the aegis of FSF transitioned to GPL3 because they "own" the code via assignment.

Tell HN: Adsense started altering the pages it is on
Some days ago, my pages where I have Google Adsense on were suddenly completely broken.

After some investigation, it turned out that the Google Adsense code started to change the styles of the page it is on.

It seems it figures out which parent element or grand-parent or grand-grand-parent... element is limiting its height. And then adds "height: auto !important" to that element.

If it is limited by max-height, it adds "max-height: auto !important" to the limiting element.

I had Googles dynamic ad sizes in a div with a size that fits my layout. Since they adapt to the space they get, everything was fine. But now they explode their parent element to a size that breaks my site.

I find this behavior pretty shocking.
Same here, although delivery in a 4-hour block costs around $2 or so for me (I think the cost goes to zero if I order like $150 or more of stuff). But it is worth it.

I (intentionally) don't have a car, and I like buying certain staples (like toilet paper and detergent) in bulk, so having Safeway do the delivery is great. They use their recyclable plastic bags, which I can either reuse, or return to the driver (though that doesn't refund the ~¢2 bag feee); those bags are put into plastic bins (the kind you see when doing a corporate move), which are then put on a cart (my building has an elevator).

So yeah, for scheduled stuff, Safeway delivery is vastly preferable to Amazon (or even Instacart).

Or equally prioritize but that affects the experience of the instore customer.

Why not get rid of instore and go deliver only? I get the sense that people don't trust delivery only places even if they would never go to the restaurant in person.

I haven't been keeping up with Go. Is it still the case that the only datatype than can be used as keys to a map and is not of a fixed size is string?
More like a "different Python" than a better one. Way more performant, way more verbose, and (IMO) way better concurrency.

Not to go off on too much of a tangent, but I think asyncio is a huge mess and was a mistake. I still use gevent for everything in Python. https://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2014/02/unyielding.html is frequently cited as an argument for why goroutines and gevent and green threads suck and why explicit asyncio-style concurrency is better, but I have a lot of issues with this article and find the former two way easier, simpler, and faster to work with.

I had a Sculpt keyboard for a month, picking it up for the same reason, but discovered that while it does improve things a bit, the keyboard is still too narrow for me and the keys are still sort of staggered and nondescript.

I eventually settled on a Kinesis Advantage 2 [1] with linear switches and is very happy about that.

The TWA Flight Center at JFK (1962) is considered "Googie", at least by Wikipedia.[1] That was achieved with the technology of the Googie era. So was the "Theme Building" at LAX (1961) [2]. Both are buildings with vast, swooping curves and exuberant design, like Changi's terminal.

Both had problems in the era of TSA. TWA failed, and JetBlue has the TWA terminal now. The huge wings are gone, but now it has 20 security lanes, a "monument to human throughput". The LAX Theme Building has never been very useful; it's had a restaurant inside, but few went there post 9/11, because it's outside security and you'd have to go through screening again.

By the late 1960s, big clear-span roofs like the Dulles terminal and the Astrodome were going up. The technical problems had been solved. A bit after the original Googie era, though.

(Disclosure: I barely know anything about the restaurant business.)

If you can't fit your entire menu on one tri-folded sheet of letter-sized paper [with readable print size], it's time to do a statistical analysis on your orders, and cut all the dishes that don't get ordered enough to recoup the costs of offering them. Move them to the infrequent specials menu, if you really can't stand to never make them again.

If I recall correctly, one of the major reasons single-location restaurants fail is menu bloat. Diners take longer to decide what they want. It's harder to identify the dishes that are least profitable. Prep is more complicated. The order management system might require additional button presses to navigate between pages.

And put the restaurant equivalent of keyboard shortcuts on the menu. As a customer, I like being able to order by number, particularly by single-digit numbers (or single letters). "Give me a number one, a number four, and a number eight, hold the mayo."
Did you forget the entire topic? What other uses for this technology. Which online representation modification is.
It's to avoid typos. Imagine there is no colon. When you type

foo = 3
fooo = foo + 1

Did you mean to create a new variable called `fooo` or was it a typo? Did you mean this:

foo := 3
fooo = foo + 1 // oops, typo found at compile-time

or that:

foo := 3
fooo := foo + 1 // Yep, new var, everything is ok

Portions of the US government have tried multiple times to make the addition of backdoors required via public force of law. They're still trying to promote it now. Short of that public requirement, they can ask & issue orders to not discuss the matter, tie it with defense orders, or imply the withholding of export or trade licenses, all contingent upon cooperation. In the end it looks pretty blurry between a request for cooperation and and order.

Even in China, they might not need to rely on explicit state security authority, just tie it up with state sponsored funding or other softer measures.
With different companies there are different agreements. For example, when a company stores something in a private S3 bucket that company has an agreement between it and AWS on who has access to that bucket and for what reasons. The agreements allow companies to know and document risk, SLA, and many other things.

Many companies have not turned their email over to Google. Many companies are in competition or at least coopertition with Google. Many are trying to get a competitive advantage these days.

All of this was a big enough deal for Mozilla that they got a special contract with Google before using Google Analytics that says Google cannot use the data collected on Mozilla sites for other purposes.

Some won't worry or care about the implications of this. There are a bunch who will. It is not an all or nothing thing. It depends on your business if you are building stuff for a business.
I didn't think they gave out patents for hallucinations or science that can't be reproduced.
Honestly, it's kind of refreshing to be able to read a headline article about Trump that isn't "Trump is god!" or "he's the physical embodiment of the antichrist!".

I think the author is correct in assuming that the current Chinese government will do anything in it's power to advance itself - and it looks like they're trying to do what someone else was doing back in the 1930's and 40's with putting ethnic and religious minorities in "re-education" camps.

China is just having an easier time with it because they're a larger country with hundreds of millions of people - meaning they don't have to take over countries near it to gather more people to rally to their cause.

Except then you’re actively pumping cold air into your home, increasing the load on your heating system.

While a fridge works by extracting the heat from the stuff you put in your fridge and heating your home with it, decreasing the load on the rest of your heating system before even accounting for the compressor inefficiencies.

Kinda like when hotels put their ice machines in some tiny room on each floor: that room gets really hot because it’s tap water in and ice out.
Queijadinha wouldn't be bad either

Well, there is no other standard format at all, so basically you're saying we might as well just give up trying to have an internet standard for email filtering. That doesn't seem like a good outcome to me.

I tried the Kinesis Advantage. There’s a lot to like there, and I really wanted to like it, but the layout got to me. Specifically, keys used in programming like curly braces, etc. didn’t fit my preexisting muscle memory from being a longtime touch typist. I really wanted something I could plug in and just go with, without relearning how to type.
It doesn't exist, it looks like just renderings. Maybe the closest you can get is something like the GPD MicroPC. Although I don't know of anything that has some of the features on their wishlist, like reversible input/output video ports.
I wish they would use more of that on mobile or even the old m.cnn.com. The more recent trend of "www-m.cnn.com" URLs is glacially slow, even when going through a Raspberry Pi.
Does it refer to Intel specifically (hyperthreading is Intel's term), or it any processor (then the general term should be SMT).

In the 1980s and 1990s there was a nationwide (and apparently worldwide) hysteria about satanic cults abusing children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_ritual_abuse

As I child I regularly heard the debates on various talk shows (I watched alot of TV). What was happening was that child psychologists were effectively implanting memories into these children. I found that idea fascinating.

At some point I came up with a game that I would play on the bus ride home from school. There was an undeveloped, partially wooded lot that the bus passed by every day. People would leave things there, especially kids. But the important thing is that week-to-week and even day-to-day the lot would change. Kids might build a fort; somebody might leave or take away some trash; the neighbor might cut the grass or clear some dead wood. The game consisted of 1) noticing something that had changed and 2) inventing something that changed. The next day I would try to pick, before passing the lot, which was the real change and which was the one I invented, and then confirm as I passed.

I very quickly realized how incredibly easy it was to create false memories. Even though I was the one deliberately picking the false memories, I regularly fooled myself. In fact, I got really good at fooling myself. If you visualize an imagined scene and mentally interact with it--imagine walking through it, imagine fake relationships between elements--then for all intents & purposes your memory of it will be little different than if you had been looking at and interacting with something real. Even more scary, I learned that I could consistently misremember things; that is, for a good fake memory I'd consistently pick it day-after-day, even though each prior day I would have realized it was the fake one.

Another thing I learned with my game is that memories are largely about associations, especially plausible associations. We filter particular memories by how well they fit together and how well they comport with the larger narrative. (Which is I think why visualizations are so powerful, as they make it easy to create many elements that fit well together.) If a memory doesn't fit into other memories, like you rationally know you couldn't possibly have been somewhere on some particular day, we tend to discard it. For innocuous memories (e.g. maybe some thought of doing something at the time, but which you didn't actually perform) we filter these out almost imperceptibly. OTOH, sometimes it's difficult to rule out memories, particular innocuous ones, which is why we misremember small stuff so often.

One small thing I've avoided ever since then is looking at photographs. I've found that the mere act of looking at a photograph can almost instantly replace your own memory of an event. That doesn't mean my original memory was any more truthful. But the original is often imbued with certain emotional artifacts that, in my experience, can get washed away by the visual fidelity of a photograph.
Too bad it the sound amplifier app only works with wired headphones, with Pixel 2 and above not having a headphone jack. So now that they got me to switch over to bluetooth headphones, I have to dig out the USB adapter and an older pair of wired headphones to try it out.

Not sure why some apps such as this hate bluetooth, since this app would be a perfect match with bluetooth earbuds.
