I do not agree with your premise. The amounts that companies make of blatantly selling out your data to be abused is often much lower than I would be willing to pay.
I pay for YouTube Premium primarily to get rid of the adds. I stopped using Facebook in 2017, but if I used it I would gladly pay the single digit dollars per year they seemed to make of me.

Now where i do agree is that even with people paying for content and services directly, advertizing would creep back in, because it would always be a potential supplementary revenue stream just sitting there tempting the content or service providers. This is where we need strong regulation such as the GDPR enforced to stem this general race to the bottom.
I mean you could always buy the DRM’d ebook somewhere if you wish to support the book financially and then download a DRM free ePub from Libgen or via torrent. That’s what I did.
No.

My point is that public leadership position is not related to humane retirement of people individuals. Leadership is never entitlement.
Could you link that talk?
Apparently you can totally just say whoopsie. A bit backslash here, some penalties over there and it's fine, the sun comes up next day morning the same.

I simply copied the whole quote so someone who wants to defend him won’t cry about partial quotes.

But sure, carry on as usual because there’s always someone to defend RMS no matter how fucked his statements are.
I think the lesson here is, if you are a scientist or engineer (i.e typically not a people person), then never say anything publicly about anything non-technical... ever.

Which is sad.
Do you know other VMs that resist a crash in external, native, unchecked code?

A NIF is basically VM code that undergo some minor limitation and runs at full speed.

BEAM is not a sandbox and will (probably) never be.

The most important lesson Erlang teaches is that there could be no recovery from crashes from the same code that crashed.

That's why in OTP Supervisors are in the shape of a tree, each level is responsible for its children and only its children.

If you need control on some process tree, you start another supervisor to supervise it and so on.

The same goes for the VM: if you need to supervise the VM, you start an external process to check its status.

A crashed process is better than a process that misbehaves.

Non locality of error handling is the only way to be really fault tolerant.
totally good faith dynamic there, calling it fake news/mass hysteria. great stuff man, real contribution to the conversation. G-d forbid other people be pissed about this.

Your words, from above:

If RMS was just random superhacker doing his thing. I would defend him.

Unless they are just mythological, all people are fallible, inconsistent human beings who put on their pants one leg at a time. There is no magic.
Just as much as RMS was right[1], ESR was right[2]. The "cancel culture" is harming the free software movement by practicing human version of Microsoft's EEE[3]. The cancel culture enters the community, establishes interests groups, and starts knocking down prominent contributors. The demands are backed by angry crowds on social media rather than by contributions.

It's time for us to defend each other, and to hold contributions above outraged crowd's size.

That's just what they want you to think. Really they just sold the data off on the international market.
Speaking for myself; vim's always available whereas I have to faff about (especially on older systems, or where I'm not admin) to get neovim working.
The .vimrc files seem to have to live in different places meaning the scripts I've written to install vim/vim-plugins will need to be altered.
Some plugins don't work properly.
I've never got neovim working on windows (can't get the colours quite right)
I tried the built-in terminal and thought it was a great idea but struggled to seamlessly hop between panes, pipe the output into files and open in other windows or copy/paste them. Tmux solves all those problems so I never use the terminal (and if I needed to it's in vim now).

I liked the attitude of the project, but I still have no use for it. One idea which might make sense would be for the vim project to accept the neovim source; merge it back in as vim 9 so all the great refactoring, and other functionality is available for everyone and any wasted effort on two almost-identical projects is avoided.
Confluence is also down
You're right and the author's note is wrong. Joint Normality of a random vector implies component-wise Normality, but not the other way around, so it's a stronger condition.

> My opinionated take is that if uber wants to pretend that drivers are not employees and it's just a marketplace then they shouldn't be booking the fare as revenue, just their cut but I'm not an accountant and I don't make the rules.

Good point, but Uber literally takes the money through its app, so I don't suppose that would be possible.
yeah, uh, these are not the same, at all. Chomsky did not do a holocaust denial, Chomsky isn't the one whose speech was under a microscope, he was the one standing up for the right do socially unpalatable scholarship (or whatever you call what Faurission was doing). And for the record, the Faurisson affair comes up all the time from people who hate chomsky and want to see him brought down in the world.

Well, just don't upvote these posts. That's the natural way of filtering out nytimes if enough people think like you.

What I don't like about nytimes is the paywall. It is just stupid to allow bots to read all content but try to make people pay by allowing them to read a few articles but requiring (payed) login afterwards. This requires tracking people and this can be conterfighted by adblockers, cookie cleaners, etc. Either put all your content behind paywalls or make everything free.

HN community can upvote or flag websites. Shouldn't be a problem. If the NYT keeps doing shitty content, people will not take it to the homepage. Same as Medium with their walled articles.
If We does IPO, I'm going to buy some IWG shares. The only way We can justify their sky high valuation is buying out the bigger competitor who is way undervalued by the markets.
And if you really have to, express yourself in the less ambiguous way possible because nowadays the public feels first, and understands later.
That's why they created Go, to get rid of Java and C++ for things like download.google.com

They are not scalable for Google scale and are not maintainable at google scale.

That's why Google C++ guidelines basically disallow everything that is problematic in C++ and enforce a style guide to

> Avoid surprising or dangerous constructs.
C++ has features that are more surprising or dangerous than one might think at a glance

> Avoid constructs that our average C++ programmer would find tricky or hard to maintain.
C++ has features that may not be generally appropriate because of the complexity they introduce to the code

> Be mindful of our scale.
With a codebase of 100+ million lines and thousands of engineers, some mistakes and simplifications for one engineer can become costly for many.
Want to help publishers? Fund a competitor to google that either doesnt track users, or does it in an ethical way. With monopolistic google disappointing both advertisers and publishers by raising prices and keeping most of the profit, there is an opportunity in the market that wasn't there 10 years ago when most of their competitors gave up.

Non-ad monetization models are not hindered by lack of investment or ideas, they are hindered by REGULATION. The best ideas are impossible to do with today's regulatory and fee structures, and publishers in particular cannot escape that.
CUPS was not originally written or open sourced by Apple. CUPS was released in the late 2000s as open source and soon after became the default print system for most Linux distros. Apple hired the original creator and purchased the source code in 2007.

Ask HN: Is there a way I can learn programming within 4 months?
Hi everyone, I’m steph, I’m a graduate from Cairo university with a degree in business relation. I’d like to ask if it’s possible for me to learn programming from scratch. I begin taking interests in techs particularly software and web development because i believe i can really do well by applying my own business statistics knowledge to create something meaningful and positive to the entire business realm. I’ve started reading some online guides to web development and i can say I’m loving it so far and grabbing one or two things. So i was thinking if it’s really possible for me to do this within a very short period of time.

From a French education, I have learned a different order of cases for Latin declension tables (NVAGDA: Nominative, Vocative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, Ablative).

I have a coworker who puts in fairly insane hours and he and his wife do Blue Apron every single day.

They haven't missed a day in a few years. I only realized the importance of Blue Apron in his life when he told me he does about 8-10 hours at work and 2-8 hours at home most days.

Blue Apron affords them the time to get to even be a family.

> Nobody is going to regularly let you have 45 terabytes of data for free.

You can still use a few dedicated servers on Hetzner though. They'll easily let you serve 200TB / month from each server for $100. It's obviously not comparable to proper CDN though, but it's does work for many companies.
People learn to code in bootcamps in 3 months, so sure.
Funny that you would single out Denmark when it had age of consent set at 12 when most of the US had it at 10 or even as low as 7 for Delaware[1].

Many 'developed' countries had age of consent set at 12 until recently (for example Spain raised it to 13 in 1999 then to 16 in 2015).

By your comment all societies before the late 19th were just a bunch of rapists and pedophiles, when it's actually a matter of the legal and moral compass and context evolving with time.

I'd argue that we should have a look at what happened in the last 2 centuries in our societies because caring for our children is clearly not the reason here or else we would have done something 40 years ago about the climate, pollution, smoking, fast food, access to water and food, lack of sustainable way of life, teaching them skills we collectively had 100-150 years ago and countless others things that are making sure they will have no future and suffer horribly in the process of experiencing the global collapse.

This reminds me of the 100:10:1 principle (don't know if it has an actual name) where you give a chance to a 100 ideas, advance the 10 most promising and ultimately select 1 which you then focus on completely. I think it is supposed to help people who have a lot of ideas and struggle with completing things to find their focus when building companies.
Those exceptions are related to the age of the other person.

So, for example, in a place where the age of consent is at 18, an 18 year old could have sex with a 16 year old without being considered a paedophile, while a 25 year old could not have sex with anyone below 18.

There's nothing about those exceptions that's US-specific. The number I've posted are the official ones if the other person is above 20-something, while the numbers that you've posted are applicable when both parties are similar in age.

This reminds me of Göbekli Tepe and the fact that it predates agriculture.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göbekli_Tepe

Yuval Noah Harari in A Brief History of Humankind argues that it the need to feed so many workers could lead to deliberate domestication of wild grains and the agricultural revolution. (All in all, I do not recommend the book).
Forget Monero it can't scale for micro payment. Currently it does like 1 Tx every few seconds. We can assume it could handle a few Tx per seconds. And with proper hardware upgrade it could probably handle some dozen Tx per second. Anyway all of that is far far away for usable if people want to do micro payments to websites they read.

Stellar is way faster the XRPL even more so (1500Tx/s) but even then it can not be used to stream money. You dot want to go to a site and instantly donate 0.001cent you want to donate only if the content is good and the best way to measure that is by time. Hence Coil steams the money as long as you are on the site. That only works trough ILP not direly on ledger (on-chain). IPL can stream money from any kind of wallet. So it would work with Monero as well but its unlikely to gain traction as its key feature (anonymous) is rather useless in this case. and Tx are slow and expensive compared to XLM or XRP.
marketing pays itself to an extent through increased revenue and scale. Historically, companies have spent more or less the same percentage of their revenue on marketing. It seems they find an equilibrium

I want to add an answer that to those saying that gives information about Apple: it only says that somehow, one team inside Apple has setup a CI (badly written script) with maybe 5k tests (from a standard set for instance) and has 9 commits per day. Or maybe they have more commits, and less tests ? Or maybe, it's a matrix of 70x70 tests. Or maybe… well, all it says is that someone is experimenting with this.
Sure. I never put that power of choice. I was just stating my opinion. The market will regulate everything without us stopping others to keep doing things for ads.
Its not a personal attack, Its just true
The only ones allowed to evaluate how relevant my mobile experience is are my employers and the customers I work for, which contrary to HN, actually have to give me money for what I deliver.

A New Refutation of Time [pdf]
As if 2019 was a model of how we should live, of ethics and morality. It is simple to point that 2019 is actually the opposite of a what we should do and very close to a model of what we should not do, especially if we care for our children and the future of living on the only planet we have.

In a society which on one hand is prudish and on the other oversexualizing everything as a marketing plot including young children, it seems logical and expected to have this kind of issues.
So we could say that one of the motivation of Hitler's rise to the power was the decision of Wilhelm II (Emperor of Germany) to entirely finance the first war by borrowing, that led to the hyperinflation.

No single event in history causes dramatic changes, everything is connected.

There was a process that brought nazis in power, and it wasn't the hyperinflation alone, there were a lot of different factors acting together, not last the example of Italian fascism from Mussolini and the idea of governing the masses by eliminating the opposition through violence and obtaining absolute power, while maintaining the illusion of a democracy.

The Night of the Long Knives is more important than the hyperinflation to understand the rise of nazism in Germany.

Defending freedom does not mean we defend evil people. I don't see anything reprehensible in the comments of rms, just opportunities for his opponents to use this fallacy.
Do you have a source for that?

My understanding is that it is only PII if it's in conjunction with other data in particular ways.

When the GDPR came along and IP Addresses were being mentioned as PII, my employer required us to sign a document stating (in part) that we wouldn't access, download or communicate PII data except when specifically authorised to do so.

When I refused to sign that and ran it up the flagpole with questions about how I'd do my job which occasionally included things like blocking IPs and dealing with network captures, it (apparently) went to lawyers who came back with a revised document to clarify that IPs wern't PII unless used in specific ways.

My point being - that specifically showing the 17/8 range as an aggregate shouldn't violate the GDPR any more than mentioning that it's Apple being the source of traffic.
You have to register at Coil.com
You pay with CC or whatever you like to Coil.
Your browsers streams money as soon as you visit a site that implements web monetization over IPL.
The site doesn't need any info from you it has the address to stream to in the HTML of the site. So your payment is theoretically anonymous ofc the site can still see your IP, fingerprint your browser etc.
