I used to live in a red state. Deep red. I learned a lot while there, having grown up in the deep blue. We're all talking past one another because we all make assumptions about the other side that just aren't true. So if you're in the deep blue, drive out and have a beer with the reds. But listen, don't fight. Conversely if you're in the deep red, do the same. You'll be surprised how much everyone agrees on things. The differences are how to reach the goals. But we're too caught up in being morally superior and winning.
Or perhaps the president appointed the judge as Minister of Justice in recognition for putting in jail many of the most powerful politics and businessman in Brazil.

Makes perfect sense, that judge is a national hero.
This isn't a website, it's a printer. We're already paying customers. If there was a paywall, we passed through it when we went to the store and dropped $100 on their product.

I suppose the big problem is that everyone gets into the data broker business when they get big enough these days. It fundamentally changes the expectations of your relationship with the company.

It's a lot like the Vizio/Samsung/etc Smart TV privacy fiasco. Back when you bought a $699 21" Zenith tube television, their business model was transparently "we make and sell televisions." The up-front cost was sufficient that they weren't too concerned with a trickle lifetime recurring revenue. There's no real place in that business model to focus on a data gathering side hustle, and you as a consumer had no reason to think they'd be interested that you kept the knob on UHF all night.

Similarly, if HP's business model is legitimately selling printers and printer accessories, there's very little information they need but are not getting from their existing "what retailers order for restock" and "direct sales and ink-as-a-service" channels. Even the obnoxious personalized 'you print lots of photos, buy our photo paper' ad doesn't require remote data submission; you could calculate it on the fly locally and pop up a banner, just like with 'you've printed 29 pages, time for a new cartridge!" I could see system and document info for crash log purposes, but even that's a one-time permission request you can make on demand.

I guess what's amazing is how much the tail has come to wag the dog-- they'd rather creep out people and run the risk people finding out losing the $100-plus-years-of-expensive-consumable sale in order to get that sweet sweet consumer-profile data worth a few dozen cents per-user in quantity.

Honestly, I want to replace my arthritic LaserJet 5 with something offering duplexing and more than four real-world pages per minute, but new printers seem to be doing everything they can to be a distasteful purchase instead of an exciting one.
Great now all the opioid production and prescriptions and thus addiction will stop! Oh wait...
You could run this emulator against other "native emulators" (I understand your meaning but surely you see the humor there) and compare and contrast the CPU/memory usage today. I expect you'll be surprised - basing this on my experience developing rendering engines in C# and C++, though I cannot speak for Java. In any case you don't need a time machine to test your hypothesis.
I mean, Sublime costs Panic prices. It just doesn't care that much if you abuse its trial.

(Wait, maybe I'm misreading your comment. Are you trying to say "Sublime is free, so Nova will have to be way better to compete with Sublime" or "Sublime wasn't good enough to justify its price, so Nova will have to be way better than that to justify its price"?)
I had a similar experience, going from about a hundred results for my name, and showing up before many other people with the same name, to just a handful spread among the first 10 pages of search results. The last 10 or so took some persistent emailing and calling.

It’s beneficial for the same reason a cheap Home Depot door lock is worth installing; it stops a lot of casual prying.
> TextMate is just so light. Launches instantly, doesn't crash, and uses minuscule resources.

I used Sublime for the same reasons, which is to say I understand why people like TextMate over something like VS Code. Being able to do something like open up a 400 CSV without in an editor without the editor choking is just really nice!

Looks like they got a golden escape hatch.

Sounds like this arm of the company will end up controlled by a government trust. The best outcome would probably be the government running the operation at break even, lowering costs, and heavily regulating how much product it could give to hospitals.

I heard UPS and Ali Baba have both started experimenting with drone deliveries in China. It seems we're falling behind in this market so hopefully Flirty experiences success. Faster and cheaper deliveries could add billions to the economy and would likely create many new business opportunities.
What's out there is no longer under your control. It's best to just forget about it. Better than shutting accounts down, just stop using them.

And yes, create new ~anonymous accounts. But here's the thing. If you just use the same social media with the same peers about the same topics, they'll figure it out.

To my family and friends, I'm that guy who burned out on the online world. I'm just gone. And I'm only reachable via old school channels.

None of them know about Mirimir. And nobody who knows me as Mirimir knows anything specific about my meatspace life.

Basically just work in VMs, and use VPNs and Tor. And remember the first rule of Fight Club.
This reminds me of a mongo optimization problem I faced years ago. Given the query {x:A, y:B} where x is a scalar and Y is an array, it was 40x faster to index [x, y] than [y, x].

Both indexes will show a query plan that’s index only and will hit the same number of records. Locality of memory in that index (since Y had repeats) was hugely important.
Your argument doesn't stand up to cursory examination. There are all sorts of tricks of physics that evolution never found out how to use. Natural systems don't use the (macroscopic) wheel either, but that works great. Refrigeration works great, but nature doesn't use that either. Complex life has barely been around 540 million years ago. Why would you suppose evolution would have had time to explore the entire space of techniques that physics allows?
I do; I live in the city centre with my apartment facing a back alley. Delivery trucks are often in the back lane left idling with radios blaring. Its one of the reasons I'm moving house.

Probably the most relevant part:

>It concluded that while there was no evidence that any votes were changed in actual voting machines, “Russian cyberactors were in a position to delete or change voter data” in the Illinois voter database. The committee found no evidence that they did so.
> It's always baffled me as to why Russia gets so much attention when it comes to election hacking, when they have a fraction of the resources and economy as China.

It is because the organizers of the coup against President Trump, have chosen 'Russia collusion' to be their main subversion story.

So anything that remotely helps that story, validated or not, will be, necessarily, multiplied through the megaphones of the Left's propaganda machines (that includes 'fair' moderators on most public forum).

Fortunately I don't live in an area with any gardens as I'm in the city centre. I have lived more rural though and leaf blowers and mowers were very annoying.

My concern with drones is simply the people density. Its one thing to say "you can't hear them 400ft up", however that assumes they never come down and given I live in a high density area, I expect many would be descending regularly.

Plenty of people are happy to share information on the Internet and even to pay small sums of money to do so.

If you aren't interested in sharing information without selling visitors data, your service isn't viable without charge, or nobody is willing to pay you, everybody is probably better off without what you're trying to offer.
Yeah this. I really wish there was some way to sentence these billionaires to the middle class for the rest of their lives. Some sort of "external" prison where their net worth is held to that of the median net worth of the OMB's "middle class" range.
The best outcome would be directing resources at preventing and treating opioid addiction, not at punishing the drug manufacturer.

To be fair, we didn't try to go around selling businesses on "decentralization idealism"; that would obviously be silly.

Plenty of enterprises already need to self-host services, for compliance reasons (ITAR, FISMA, HIPAA, FINRA, GDPR, national data locality laws in Germany, Russia, China, South Korea, and others), or sometimes even just paranoia. The need is very much there.

But, like, we literally didn't know where to start. Pick up a phone and just, like, call people? Apparently that's how sales works but I'm sure as hell not the person to do it. I hate it when people call me! How could I call someone? So we didn't call anyone, and mostly hoped that fans on Hacker News would go sell Sandstorm to their IT departments for us. That was dumb and didn't work.
Are the other manufacturers of oxycontin being sued too? I know that Purdue tried to underplay their role, but from the best #s I've seen they've only sold 20% of the market.

Actually, rolling things, from seeds to eggs, including whole shrimps is a locomotion technique used by nature since a long time. The axle is something it does not use, and I would argue does not need. In all natural terrains, legs are a superior option.

The physical principles behind refrigeration are witnessed in several places in nature.
Looks really interesting, but in the first paragraph of the introduction:

> A recession, for example, is a time when many people have decided to........express support for fiscally conservative government.

What? I'm not sure how this sentence is showing up below words like Yale and NBER at the top of this paper.

The overall idea that stories can drive recessions has clearly happened: a population buys in to the story that profits are derived from exploitation, they abolish profits, then a major recession hits as the economy ceases functioning.

He does touch upon the "profiteer" narrative as a possible source of the 1920 recession, but skips how that same basic narrative would play a major role in shaping the USSR.

He speaks of the narratives of the 2008 financial collapse, but only in terms of how people referenced The Great Depression. What about the narrative that everybody should be able to buy a house, which led to lower lending standards, which led to horrible practices on the back end to try and salvage the the bad loans being written, which led to a global recession.
Tiananmen is an exception? Maybe it’s a stretch to call them protests, but millions of “state enemies” were killed in China over the last 70 years. Cultural revolution, Landlord Purges, etc.
> you need a stateful server; you need for all users of the same document to land on the same server instance so that coordination and routing can occur in-memory. That's incredibly difficult to achieve in the stateless cloud architecture orthodoxy

Exactly, that's what I was getting at. I'm sure Google has a lot of internal infrastructure and know-how for doing this. But outside of giants like Google and Microsoft, AFAIK, tools and techniques for developing stateful web applications that are reliable and scalable don't seem to be widely known. And the orthodoxy, as you aptly put it, is so strong that I'd venture to say that most of us don't even consider the stateful alternative. So for those of us who do think about it, it seems like the unsafe choice that we're better off avoiding. I hope that changes.

Just set aside time. I got about a dozen listings claimed and/or taken down in an afternoon and did a couple more followup rounds. I wrote a couple of DMCA takedown requests, which took a bit of time to be sure I was communicating effectively. LinkedIn took awhile as I had an interest in maintaining my profile with the right level of privacy, requiring some writing work. After search results update, you’ll probably find new listings to investigate that weren’t ranking highly before. Like wittyusername said, it takes multiple passes. Also, don’t forget to check Internet Archive results. And don’t be afraid to use the phone; a couple of sites were more reachable that way.

Shameless plug warning. I'm the author of git-bug (https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug), a distributed bug tracker actively developed (even a gsoc this summer!). If you are interested by this topic I would very much like you to give it a try or even contribute.

git-bug try to improve over the previous iteration of this idea in several ways. To answer your question, those are what I think prevented them to catch on:

- it doesn't pollute your project: no files are added alongside your code, no mess during a merge, bugs are stored in your repository but decoupled from your code workflow

- it doesn't impose an interface: as you prefer, you can use the CLI tools, the interactive terminal interface or even a webUI. You could also integrate it to your editor, CI system ...

- it allows outsider of the project, client, users ... to browse and open bugs, without asking them to install anything. Admittedly, git-bug is not there yet, but the goal is to have the webUI work as a public portal that a project could host easily, accepting authentication from outside system (github OAuth ...).
It was a good thought, however the mechanism doesn't easily lend itself to following through to the paper. Rather than using a video consider a web page with your examples embedded that can be played, (even animated gifs would work) and a link to the paper. That gets you a bit of both worlds.
Anarchism.
Agree with you in general.

> it simply isn't practical to make the kind of radical transition you're advocating for

The above line is exactly my point. We think changing ourselves is impractical. But we want the rest of the world to abide by our views of "green" and "sustainable living".
Can you expand on "just work in VMs"? I've wondered before if, for instance on my mac laptop, if I could have multiple VMs of my same mac OS. But it sounds really complicated and I doubt it'd be able to "reach through" the vm boundary to use my peripherals.
The physical principles behind combustion engines and the wheel are displayed in many life forms. Their engineering constraints and goals differ.

It is, however, reasonable to expect evolution to find a way to exploit quantum algorithms as it is very useful to several fitness advantages and is something that you would expect to be achievable through protein manipulations.
If you divide world GDP by number of households in world, the household income turns out to be $59,000. In theory, we have achieved enough progress that everyone on the planet can live fairly rich lives. This is obviously not the case due to massive inequality. But the interesting side effect of this is the age of abundance for few of us. I just drank a bottle of blueberry yogurt and threw away plastic bottle. I get free soda from office and toss aluminium cane to the trace. It just occurs to me how insignificant the existence of that plastic bottle or aluminium cane is for me. It literally existed only for the purpose of providing little liquid and then to disappear forever in that growing pile of trash on the planet. It's amazing to think about how many things in our households we wouldn't consider valuable but would be treasured in some other part of the world. My theory is that this age of abundance is short and possibly in 100 years of time when trash engulfs this planet, mines dries up, raw materials becomes rare material - the future generation would look to us as some sort of envy and anger.
This is incredible, I love it. I've recently switched to using Ableton exclusively for making music, it feels like more of an instrument than a computer program to me. It's so expressive and lets me make the sounds I want to hear as well as things I can't even conceive of. I can't really articulate what it is about Ableton, but I really love it and I'm so thankful that it's around.

If anyone wants more, Ableton also has a synthesizer playground site at https://learningsynths.ableton.com/.
I see. Thanks for the explanation.

Loved your work & was an early supporter. If you haven't already, I think you should take a look at some really cool new possibilities in the app development space like automerge/hypermerge, braid.id, and gun.eco. These offer a new path forward where a home server is just one possible topology, but the data is freed from servers. See also https://github.com/SmithSamuelM/Papers/blob/master/presentat... (I particularly like how Sam has coined the term "autonomic data", meaning data that embeds its own authorization through encryption--once you separate authorization from distribution, you can do some amazing things).
Fantastic. It makes me wonder what distinguishes Trojan culture from Greek culture when Trojans are living in Greece...
Well according to the WSJ, what's left of Purdue after the bankruptcy will be owned by a trust who's only purpose is to repay the litigants. So I imagine they'll just be part of that.

Also not all US based litigants are part of the settlement that is being worked out. There are also individuals who are being personally sued that aren't part of this as well.
The seasoned developers interviews are quite good as well.
I agree with you both.
That's 20% of the whole opioid pill market, not just oxycontin.

As far as I know, generic manufacturers of off-patent drugs usually aren't sued.

On the one side, they don't actively promote/market their products to prescribers or patients, but I'd still think they share some blame by manufacturing it.
With the Sackler family funneling out money prior to this, is there any chance a judge would refuse the bankruptcy?
They are wealthy Americans. They are untouchable.
Ask HN: How do you handle your overprotective insticts as a parent?
I've read fantastic tips, tricks and processes from parents on HN over the last 7 years. I just became a parent 2 weeks ago to a baby girl and I need your stories/advice.

I'm fairly laid back about most aspects of life. But as soon as I become a parent, I've been overprotective about almost everything related to the baby, including against well-meaning grandparents and relatives.

I've gotten angry when said people go against our wishes. E.g. We don't want her to cry it out before feeds. So we feed her when she starts showing signs of hunger (rooting etc.). Older family members think she should cry for a while. During a disagreement, I physically dragged an insistent family member away from the baby so my wife could get to her. In hindsight, it really wasn't a big deal, and I didn't need to do that.

How do you temper your instincts to be overprotective? I'd rather not be that parent down the line.
