You can assume that some, and maybe most of the people watching certain videos are kids, but there's no way to know for sure since the account itself is for an adult. Just like on a porn site, you need to agree that you are an adult, but realistically a lot of non-adults probably are watching too. The question is, if in the user agreement you agreed that you are above 13, but then you aren't, is that the websites fault?

Now it's up to Google to 1. figure out which videos (uploaded by others) are for kids, and 2. automatically assume everyone watching said videos are kids. Both of those steps are rough approximations. The better solution is to stick to the EULA and have kids actually use Youtube Kids, instead of "guessing" what videos and users are.
We're in an investee's market right now. Investors are throwing large amounts of money at anything that might have a positive return. This gives the founders/CEOs/etc. a lot more power to get away with this kind of stuff. If their behavior scares off one investor, there will still be a line waiting to give them money.

When things swing the other way, and not as much money is floating around waiting to be invested, investors will be able to hold the investees to higher standards.
The question is as much how exhaustive you want your Redux usage typed, and also how much you want to stick to the "action creator" pattern. A lot of the action creator ceremony is to avoid throwing the wrong types of data to Redux dispatch and make it easier to refactor things when the data requirements for an action change. Typescript handles a lot of that no matter what, and you can lean on the Typescript type system more and the "action creator" pattern less, but it won't look "Redux enough" to more JS-focused developers and that may or may not be a source of friction.

Which is a long way around to: the pattern in that recipe is a good one, it's quite exhaustive in making sure everything is typed, and it's quite familiar to almost any Redux dev you will meet whether they come from JS or TS. You can get away with other patterns/recipes if you want looser typing or "looser redux", based on the compromises you are willing to take, but currently there's no strong recommendation for any such alternative pattern because the common recipe is "good enough", even if it has lots of little bits of extra "ceremony". (Ceremony isn't necessarily a bad thing, sometimes those rituals are helpful in getting your thoughts down and making sure you have everything you need planned out.)

But that's also part of why the example in the author's post is unfair to Typescript. It's as strict on types as the Typescript pattern, but it's "looser redux". It sort of has action creators, but those aren't proper functions from a JS perspective because they are type constructors that don't properly exist in JS. They also don't exactly correspond to/produce the usual sort of "plain JS objects" that Redux expects when dispatching ({ type: "DISCRIMINATOR_STRING", … }), which will worsen and even in some cases may break Redux debug tools/experiences.

(Semi-related, there is a Stage 1 proposal for pattern matching in front of TC39 that would also help reduce the switch case that TS needs to pattern matching closer to the ReasonML example. TS sticking to Stage 3+ proposals now means that it won't get some of these sort of nice to have things until JS does.)
It's a great question and one of the common complaints to the wave of privacy regulations. I believe that it's not a ton of work, but may be a bit of legalese to wade through and should be basic due diligence for collecting personal information.

There is a lot in GDPR, but here's a list of possibilities that will honor the spirit of the law and be huge steps forward:

- Privacy policy: Write a human-readable privacy policy and publish it. It should declare what you collected, for what purposes, how long it's retained and how to contact the privacy office for data subject requests.

- Conduct an internal Privacy Impact Assessment: an inventory of personal data collected, for what purpose, what is it's risk/danger level, what lawful reason is it collected/processed, where is it stored and what is the retention policy.

- Lawful processing: For each of the types of data collected, determine the lawful umbrella for collecting and processing it; GDPR defines a bunch but most people use only "legitimate interest" or "explicit consent". If you need to use consent, find a vendor to help you manage it.

- Honor data subject requests for access/portability/erasure. Doesn't have to be fancy, can even be just a mail to privacy@yourdomain. Don't forget to authenticate/vet the requestor to avoid leaking data.

- Vendors/3rd party companies you use: Inventory them and record what data is going to them. Will likely have in contracts their obligations under GDPR, and will define their role ('processor' or 'controller').

No worries. I should have chosen my words more carefully. And, to be fair, I didn't know webkit was the first to create an in-browser debugger either. I always thought it was either Chrome or Firefox.
The reason is next to no company/investor wants to fund double blind clinical research on a natural product to come up with an FDA/medically sound treatment regimen due to there being no monopoly privileges conferred for doing so, therefore rendering it unprofitable from a capitalist free market point of view.

Big difference. It's not that all medicinal plants can be worse than the condition off the bat, it's that no one can make money by figuring out a dosage and putting it through the proper channels to allow manufacture and utilization for that purpose.

Herbalists have been doing their best to maintain a corpus of knowledge around these procedures for centuries. It isn't their fault that our boner for letting the market arbitrate ever aspect of our lives keeps useful research from being done.
Yeah, I think if you are forced to do something and not paid a mutually agreed upon wage, and then you die, you are not getting monetary compensation for that sacrifice.

But you may gladly go along with all of it, even the risk of death, because of what you care about. Your family, your town, your country.

Which is why claiming the work of either men or women is done for free is silly. There are so many other values in life.
Show HN: I have a silly pet project, can I get some input?
Last night I had a stupid idea, and wanted to check if it is technically possible. Well, it is!

In a nutshell: Emoji support for your website's URLs.

yourwebsite.com/contact - booring

yourwebsite.com/:phoneemoji: - cool!

So I wrote a nodejs middleware that offers emoji support for your API, with 2 lines of code. (well if you count the installation 3 lines)

Here's the project:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/slashemoji

I currently have support for the /contact and /about routes.

Can you give me some ideas of what other URLs to cover, and what emojis to link the routes to?

While I do agree with what you believe is the "overwhelming consensus", there are legitimate reasons to think WeWork is bullish too. Here's an article I think does a good job representing both beliefs: https://fortune.com/2019/09/01/wework-ipo-stock-should-i-buy...

Yes, I think that’s the logical conclusion of GDPR-style thinking about privacy. I would certainly protest against being able to index that data any which way.

I understand the flipside that you’re implying and the argument that you’re making, I just don’t agree.

When an individual has a computer-indexed memory that is admissible as evidence in court, I think it’s pretty okay to use it for all of the things that we use memories for today. But what about reselling that data? What about data sharing agreements that subsidize your implants? What about hackers?

I really hope we don’t get truly infallible, computer-backed memory.
This has actually been a fairly popular idea within linguistics for a long time, and is absolutely relevant to information density. Problems like these need to be better understood for natural language understanding and translation, and 'bits' provide a good baseline measurement.
The authors use syllable conditional entropy to estimate information density, and entropy is measured in bits (or shannons, if you prefer).
I'm not sure it's clear that generic page analytics necessarily means that ones presence on certain pages is any more sensitive than Google maps knowing that you zoomed in on a depression clinic. I can understand this is easy with third party analytics on specific-subject pages, but the waters may appear muddier on web server logs, dns lookups/caches, browser history, search results etc where generic approaches may only be illegal depending on what's visited or looked up. What if the analytics scripts promised not to collect URL or page content (not saying that's the case here)?

If not already clarified somewhere (pardon my ignorance on the bodies/law involved), I think these common cases should be listed as clearly illegal not in canon, but as a helper to these services. Keeping a list containing things like "it's illegal for sites remotely related to health to use third party analytics of any kind sans prior consent" (or "it's illegal for sites remotely related to health to let the URL or content of the page be known to third parties sans prior consent") could help.

I too struggled w/ some of the sensationalizing in the article, because I read:

> Sensitive personal information about mental health is routinely being traded to advertisers around the web

as a bold headline, only to read:

> This was problematic because sensitive information could be broadcast to all of those bidding, PI said

I couldn't really tell what was really being sold routinely, personal info or ad space. And I couldn't separate what "could be broadcast" vs what was.
That's something I don't get...

I don't think that's a great example for Python; that's just knowing what "is" is for. The fact that it works the same as == for small integers in CPython is an optimisation showing through, but only in a place where it doesn't really matter.

You still need to have a grasp on the difference between reference equality and value equality without getting into anything anyone would call tricks or implementation details (eg, after `x = []; y = []; x.append(1)`, how many elements does y have?).
The Proposal for encoding the Phaistos Disc characters[1] lists the motivation behind including it (and rebutes some counter arguments). Principally, lots of publications discussing the Phaistos Disc would use it:

> Phaistos Disc characters, whether syllables, or letters, or board-game dingbats, have historical and cultural significance, as attested in the large number of publications dealing with it. As noted above, the Wikipedia has articles about the Phaistos Disc in ten languages. The 30+ documents listed in the bibliography in this proposal are by no means the only documents printed which deal with the Phaistos Disc characters. The English Wikipedia article gives Phaistos Disc characters inline in text as well as in tables (Figure 8). Other documents exist which present the Phaistos Disc characters either inline (Figure 8) or in tables (Figures 1, 2, 5, 6, 7). It is true that the image of the Phaistos Disc itself is easy to represent with simple drawing (see Figure 3) but the discussion of its characters inline in Latin text is not.

The colonies weren't day-to-day governed from London or directly by Parliament. It may be worth recalling that colonies had their own governments, many of which included elected legislatures. In fact, how these legislative bodies were treated was a rather specific point of complaint in the Declaration of Independence.

A bit more exciting probably since the market is higher now which means that the oscillation will be more impressive.

The rest is chicken little - we got into that mess before because neither CDOs nor CDSs were liquid which means that as long as they were not trading banks were able to continue book them at the nominal value and since to trade them one needed to have banks that were on a hook for them to do the trade nothing was moving. That's the biggest issue with those kinds of instruments.

Nothing of sort could happen with the index funds because both the derivatives and the underlying are sufficiently liquid, so the drop won't be 100->20 but rather 100->99.9->99.8->99.7->....->20.1->20 which in turn would re-balance everything.
What i think he is saying is this:

If you look at s&p 500 stocks weight for instance, at number 483 is Rollins inc, weight 0.019938%. Do you know this company? But everyone here if you have invested in s&p 500 has invested in this stocks. The way s&p 500 works is it picks stocks based on market cap. Now this company has a very low chance of getting kicked out even if it is a dud as people keep investing in it via ETF's

Here lies the opportunity. If you go through every company in s&p 500 you are going to find overvalued and undervalued stocks. One strategy is to pair trade. Take a long/short position. But it is very tough to time as every keeps investing every month. Other strategy is wait for a crash and instead of again investing in these ETF's for small returns pick stocks that got battered for no reason. This has inspired me to actually work a bit, actually looks at balance sheets and pick stocks.

Side note, i only own one etf and it is PTF. It has very little stocks and i think focused funds are a better bet.
AdSense used to do this for you before it tracked individuals...

You can still target adverts at content on a site, and have an aggregate system to make that easy and granular.

There could even be services which collected lists of websites and categorised them, and the rough demographics of their audience, and retailed slots.

Individual tracking is unnecessary financially, you can make as much revenue without. See example of the New York Time dropping tacking for EU readers for GDPR reasons, and continuing to grow ad revenue: https://digiday.com/media/gumgumtest-new-york-times-gdpr-cut...
Governments are likely walking a much finer line than we might imagine. Imagine they carried out your idea. The EU is a political organization manned by a large number of mostly professional politicians. Google is world's largest data harvesting and advertising company whose products are used, on a daily basis, by a pretty sizable chunk of our entire species' population. Imagine if Google decided to fight back. Who would be able to create a more effective "information campaign"?

I can't help but consider one current "information campaign" in the UK. In response to skyrocketing violent crime they've chose to put anti-stabbing/knife messaging on fried chicken boxes, Literally [1]. Knife amnesty bins and fried chicken anti-knife messaging. That's a government "information campaign" through and through.

0-60 in 3 seconds, 600 foot pounds of torque, and awd sounds pretty high performance to me?
But, he says, instead of being limited by how quickly we can process information by listening, we’re likely limited by how quickly we can gather our thoughts. That’s because, he says, the average person can listen to audio recordings sped up to about 120%—and still have no problems with comprehension.

Some years ago I worked on an accessibility project for an app and website designed for people with disabilities. One of the team members had low vision, and used a screen reader that must have been set to 3x or even higher. I usually listen to YouTube and podcasts at 1.5-2x and I could barely understand the audio. He seemed surprised, which indicated to me that 3x+ was the norm for people in his circle.

I wonder if his ability was trained through years of using fast screen readers, vs. a lower visual processing load leads to better audio processing, or some other explanation.
Observations need not always end in direct interaction with the potential customer. If I notice a lot of people in my store are depressed, for example, then why wouldn't I stock more products that depressed people buy? If I see that my clientele is mainly women, I might tweak my inventory in other ways.
I think the general consensus is that WE is probably going to go public at a discount to the latest round. UBER was talked at like 100bn+ before they actually IPOed.

>Our modern secular religion is the worship of markets as self-correcting, self-perfecting systems that merely demand that we all act in our own self-interest to produce an outcome that makes us all better off.

You are likely in this database if you added your phone number to your Facebook account. There was a point where if you just typed a phone number into facebook it'd return the person who associated their account with that number.
Kinda. I just helped my girlfriend setup a new Windows laptop the other day, and the usual DeDRM tool no longer worked, because the books were downloaded under the most recent version of Kindle for PC, which uses some new form of encryption that hasn't been cracked yet. We had to uninstall it, download an older-but-still-supported version of Kindle for PC, then run through the process again.

Which is to say, this is a cat-and-mouse game. There is a way to defeat Amazon's encryption for now, but there may come a day when we can't, and when Amazon cuts off support for all devices and applications that do not run their latest encryption.

I'm kinda surprised that they continue to even support MOBI, given that it's not originally their format and much easier to extract the EPUB out of than their homespun solution.
Yep. Also, if both operands have types smaller than int, they’ll both be converted to int as part of the “integer promotions” step. This is less likely to lead to surprising results since the conversion is value-preserving, but it’s inconsistent with the behavior of int-and-larger types.
And the article says that is due to other factors in addition to passive investing, like central bank interest policies.

> I am just criticizing collecting data under the veneer of security or creating a dependence at this point.

This isn't a veneer. It's a signature check to ensure a package is what it says it is. Have you seen the hassle npm routinely goes through because of this? A centralized, trusted server is a sensible "default" setting. The fact that they offer a self-hosted solution is a great benefit.

> You can only be secure if your privacy is protected. That is the causal relation between these two needs.

Nonsense. I can have a completely secure system and everyone knows who I am. I can have an entire insecure system with zero means of identifying the owner and thus, remain private.

You aren't just conflating privacy and security, you are implying a casual relationship between them. Both are nonsense.
Everyone who buys thinks it’s undervalued, by definition. They’d probably tell you they’re buying because they know they can sell for more tomorrow to someone else who thinks it’s undervalued, but doing that means that they also think it’s undervalued no matter what they say.
> I'm not sure what world we're thinking we should just give our kids a phone and let them watch youtube as long as they want?

What we're thinking is "I need an hour free from entertaining my child, this entertains them."

Craigslist works great on mobile Firefox.
Yes. Took me a while but I can comfortably understand 2x speed and now 1x podcasts seem weird like they're talking super slow. I would imagine it's something you just train even more out of necessity.
I'm disappointed that Craigslist charges people to post certain ads now. Seems all the more likely a competitor will outdo them at this point just on fronts like that - people would rather see ads than pay money. Interface is fine to me.
One point that's missing here, is this occurred on Labor Day weekend, a Federal US Holiday. Everyone involved would have been off of work and they were relying on the pager system. If a bug occurred in that then there would have been no one to reach.
