If by "stock Android", you mean AOSP, then yes. Those are mainly proprietary google apps like google dialer or google camera. The system look and feel is mostly untouched from AOSP, though. This is in contrast to something like touchwiz or miui where the whole OS looks completely different compared to AOSP.

Very interesting!

So my understanding from this is that "psuedoaddiction" is a name for the concept that a patient agitating for drugs is doing so not because they're addicted, but because they actually need the drug to ease their symptoms. In other words, someone rolling around on the floor moaning in pain and screaming for oxy may be doing so because they're actually in a lot of pain, as opposed to acting because they need a fix.

As a term it's pretty unfortunate. And this is the point of the article: the notion that "pseudoaddiction" is an unscientific pharma sales technique has made it difficult for those in need of medication to get enough of it.

The author cites examples of insulin and non-addictive antidepressants too, lest you think it's all about opiates. They make a strong, frustrated case.
And yet here’s an empirical benchmark providing evidence against both of those claims. What empirical evidence do you have supporting yours? Can you provide them?

Who defines when a construct is “unnatural”? Can you show examples of “unnatural” patterns in the provided benchmark programs supporting your hypothesis that you have to write unnaturally to control allocations? If not, why are you making those claims?

Why is throughput of allocations important for “most” applications? How much time is typically spent on allocations in those programs? What is a typical application? What about typical applications in Go specifically since that’s the only language that Go’s garbage collector matters for?

Also, why did you bring up the point about generational collectors? It seems like a red herring. This discussion has been about tuning for latency, and how in this benchmark, Go’s implementation did better on both throughput and latency than any OpenJDK collector under any tuning, and that tuning for latency is possibly a sound engineering decision.

I’ve also noticed that you’ve made no explicit attempt to answer my more difficult questions, and if you continue to do so I will no longer assume you are acting in good faith.
> According to the piece, Snowden provided this data to the South China Morning Post directly

A newspaper that must hand over any data it has to the Chinese government upon request but is already fully surveiled by that government anyway, as anybody (even a high school dropout) can figure out.

> This article also makes no mention of this information being used as an attempt to gain asylum in Hong Kong.

He made it clear that he was attempting to gain asylum in Hong Kong (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/12/edward-snowden...). What reason does he have to divulge details of the NSA's (not illegal) hacking of Chinese infrastructure other than to try to help his case?
Indeed, one can interpret the posts of “Q” to support this theory. Going in that direction of that conspiracy theory, however, it appears that the CIA was cleaned out and taken back (or is/was in the process of being taken back) with the appointment of Haspel.

Of note is an apparent exchange between “Q” and @snowden on Twitter, where it appeared that “Q” was able to compel @snowden to share a photo of someone from the Middle East while under duress or on the move. The evidence to support this is the garbled tweets from @snowden in response to “Q”’s demand, suggesting that Snowden really was on the move and being hunted, and under pressure to disclose the info.

Also of note was “Q” saying to @snowden (at the time) “we can take you anytime” which certainly was ambiguous regarding whether it meant kill, or capture. (“Take you out” would have left zero ambiguity). “Take you anytime” implied the possibility of a kill, at the least.

Ironically, tipping counter service at creates an additional caste rather than decreasing inequality.

To steal a concept from Reservoir Dogs; You can't tip at McDonalds, Chick-Fil-A, Burger King Wendy's (by company policy), but yet we've proceeded to create competitors where it is societally expected to tip.

What's likely the case is the niche food counter doesn't hire the minority single mother/father but passes them up for the urban hipster with personality; based on "culture" -- and at best case, a reason an employee would choose the niche counter over McDonalds is because they can already afford the risk.

Sadly, it's also more likely the niche counter is small, skirting employment law w/ illegal servers wages for their cashiers compared to McDonalds who is going to have a full range of benefits.

I mean that people make their own per-file or per-package set implementation for their service. There's no point putting it in a common utility package even within the same company, because it's specific to the type of what they're storing.

`map[T]struct{}` is only a type, it's not an implementation. You still need a handful of methods, that might be named inconsistently in each implementation by different developers. I will be happy when I never have to think about this again
> Some cafes pay tipped employees less, though they are guaranteed $15 an hour if tips don’t make up for it.

This means your tips are largely not going to the employees, but instead are simply allowing the business to lower their payroll costs -- at least until tips exceed the real bare minimum the business is allowed to pay their employees.

I think the correct POV, moreso for the single-man company, is that running a server to perform a task is the overengineered option.

I was all gung-ho about serverless for a while. I wanted to release a demo for my product and thought I'd cut through all the hassles of managing my own server.

I found it bewildering. It was a whole new skillset with new benefits, but also new considerations and headaches. When push came to shove and the clock to release my demo started ticking down, I just went back to a linux server.

I use the same linux distro at home and on the server, and there are about 3 technologies I need installed. On retrospect I think I made the right decision, but happy to have my mind changed.
There is obviously a learning curve but it's hard to argue that:

#[get("/hello/<name>/<age>")]

fn hello(name: String, age: u8) -> String {

format!("Hello, {} year old named {}!", age, name)

}

is more complex than express + Node. With added bonus that you get validation for free
> Then I learned that the Achilles' heel of the BEAM VM is that if native code crashes it takes the whole thing with it

People talk about "let it crash" in BEAM world, but advice I got that made understanding things a whole lot easier is to focus on recovering more than preventing crashes. I've found Elixir to be better at both not crashing and better at recovering. The abstractions for both just make more sense to me. That being said, I wouldn't have been able to understand those concepts before learning Elixir. So I say learn Elixir and OTP well, and decide for yourself.
I thought that it was caused by the expected rise in sea level.
Proper generics would allow you to parameterize with all types including primitive ones, not just Objects. Check out java.util.Arrays class as an example of why Java's generics are not proper: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.h...
Ask HN: What is the best part of being an Engineer at Google?
Other than the pay/benefits, when it comes to building high quality software, what does Google get right that you wish more start-ups would adopt?
No, I meant what I wrote. The time spent in total in GC includes the time spent performing allocations. If you reduce the time spent in allocations with all else being equal, you reduce both latency and increase throughput. In that way, optimizing for your allocation latency also increases your total throughput.
Does it say somewhere it is tip based?

It seems like there are a ton of things that can be done to make it work better than where it is totally based on "small tips."
Not really, type shopify.com and let me know if you can buy a pair of shoes. You can't. You go to eBay and you can. Shopify is just the platform and the entire ecosystem supports the amount of transactions.
No - they won't. If you have a very simple front end stack, and application stack or infrastructure sure. But if I'm needing to traverse networks, or only directly get to a database - that's different than some silly nmap script kiddy scan.

Remember it is often easier to penetrate around the gates where everyone is looking (some app stack + OWASP top 10) to instead focus getting inside a network (your dev's laptop, vpn connection, social engineered access, malware to your CEO or sales team, Wi-Fi connection to intercept the VPN tunnels, etc). Or i'm looking for holes in Docker versions to root, Kubernetes flaws, virtual machine dependencies, how many microservices layers do I have to deal with, etc etc.
People are actually demanding 5G? (Or is that hype, trying to make people think that other people are demanding it?)

I can only think of one conversation I've had in which 5G was even mentioned, but boy, I know people here in rural Canada would like affordable data plans, and I don't see that 5G is going to help at all.
I’m not even sure if developers are the target audience here, but rather C levels who will dictate that the developers will use this to lower perceived costs and reduce theoretical development time. What could go wrong?

Evidence that a significant portion (even 20% is pretty significant) of intelligence is not determined by genetics is evidence against any strong disparity based on race (as any non genetic basis weakens that claim). It is strong evidence against genetics being the entire reason for test score differences.

Finally, a genetic basis for intelligence provides no evidence about genomic differences between ethnicities.

You have thus consistently failed to provide any actual evidence for your racist assertions and have failed to even understand the implications of the evidence you have tried to provide.

So please stop using your ignorance to spread hate.

> invest in a decent pair of BT headphones and never worry about it again

Except, everyday, when you need to charge them? And when you need to enable/disable the BT radio (unless you keep it always on but in that case the autonomy of the phone suffers).

I like my bone conduction BT headphones and use them almost everyday, but a passive "dumb" wired solution is very convenient and removing it is a strict downgrade. At a time when the new models don't really add a lot of value over the older ones this removal actually tips the balance to the wrong side. The improvements don't make up for it.

It’s not at all. All sorts of anti-competitive behaviour is regulated under the broad banner of “antitrust” law. The Sherman Act doesn’t even prohibit every different type of monopoly for that matter.
One question I've really been wanting answered is- how do I even know my tips are going to the workers? In the worst case, the tips are going straight to the owner.

This is why I typically tip with cash only, and view these credit card-based counter service tips as a form of price segmentation, where I can pay more if I want to support the business.
Your trash collectors will probably crush the whole thing, so the water will seep out. Polluted, yes, but not locked away for that long. (And even if not, I'd give it a very short time until the water seeps out from micro-fractures anyway.)
Drop shippers are on all e-commerce platforms, from the shopify 1-pagers to merchants on ebay and Amazon. It's saturated the entire market at this point.
Think of it the other way round - if your workload is not realtime, but "within minutes/hours", as in processing feeds here - scaling the worker nodes with an ansible scripts needs to be done on maybe a weekly (if not monthly or less) basis and you get 4/3 instead of 3/3 - for a few minutes of work. This just does not seem to be the workload for autoscaling and adding complexity. I've ran a similar setup at a past job - we planned for whatever but in the end it was one person clicking a few buttons to provision a new instance once in a while.

Also some workloads are really bad for lambda, because you can (total napkin math) run 4 cores at 100% load for 24h a day to do your processing, all at the cost of "1 instance".
A German court might still find that in order to stop a copyright infringement, since they have no means to order you directly, they might order German ISPs instead to black out EasyDNS. Tho, in practice, they'd probably just order to black out the particular domain in question.

> an addict will chose behavior that negatively impacts their life

I think that "addict will choose" is a problematic way to say what you are saying. There is a lot of very gray area about the concept of choice when the organ that chooses is the thing that is being injured.

It's not clear at all that "choice" - in the moralistic, Protestant ethic US society is based on sense - is actually something that can be usefully ascribed to most human behavior.
Sure - telling me whether you have an api.<domain>.com doesn't matter. Anyone can scan and find that. But, if I know your database names (from a screenshot) and your hosting provider, I know that once I'm past a bastion host, or on your VPN connection - I don't have to wait to sniff or hope you connect to datasources. I now have an informed opinion on where to go.

WeWork Parent Expected to Postpone IPO
"The one thing I find very puzzling or annoying, is why anyone want to even use the very confusing term "pseudoaddiction" and especially be "against against" it. Jeesh. The situation seems like it could best be handled by saying "banish the jargon and look at the situation"."

The author explains his reasoning in the article:

"Others seem to kind of equivocate between “pseudoaddiction is fake” vs. “[the phenomenon described by the word pseudoaddiction] is real, but there’s no point in having a separate word for it.” The latter would be reasonable if there weren’t so many people saying the former. Because people are constantly misdiagnosing real distress as addiction, we need a word for when that happens, and pseudoaddiction is as good as any other."

If online advertising went away overnight

I'd extend that to all advertising and I think we might be out of this mess permanently.

It seems like an insane concept, because advertising is a part of modern life, but I think it's the only way to effectively kill the surveillance/influence peddling hydra.

Otherwise, all these efforts just redirect ad dollars to other forms of systems of influence which may be similarly as invasive.
Usually it's defined in a self-normalizing way, though. Addiction is when the addict themselves believes that the behaviors are detrimental to their own life, but cannot bring themselves to stop engaging in them.
Critique the survey methodology if you think it is inadequate. If you are just questioning the whole concept of polling then it seems sort of willful ignorance.
