Just to be clear: the app makes ~20 downloads per day (checked on App Annie premium and Sensor Tower premium) except for the fact that you change the price from paid to free multiple times, causing multiple spikes in downloads generated by sites like https://www.148apps.com/ and https://appadvice.com/apps-gone-free which basically list all apps that have become free from paid.

So claiming `about 10,000 downloads each week` is not very correct.

That's true and practically every statement made in an ad aimed at the general public should be taken with just as many buckets full of salt grains.

If an ad for a lab oscilloscope were made that way, nobody would ever buy it.
Importantly: if you scrub it almost everywhere then you can't argue against it, because you'd need to actually articulate the WtongThink in order to argue against it. So when an impressionable young thing like my past self happens to stumble across well articulated arguments (as opposed to straw arguments) for the bad thing, they will have no where to go to be set straight.

> Smart TVs sending sensitive user data to Netflix and Facebook

No way! Has that ever been news? It is the first thing that comes to mind when some product 'needs' to be connected to the internet. Sending private data is most likely the only reason a internet connection can be made with the device. All the 'great' software around it is only fluff supporting to lure people sending their private data unknowingly. Do they send microphone and camera data home? Of course, that's the cream. Oh, and do they protect your sensitive data well? Nah, that's not a priority, who cares..

In the past you bought a new tv, and the manufacturer was happy and treated you with respect. Today you think you buy a tv, but tv is actually the secondary feature, you just bought an intrusion device that collects your private life in order to send it to the manufacturer for selling it.

I have a new x-large smart tv which I would never connect to the internet for these reasons. I use a dedicated pc with a good graphics card that connects through HDMI. On my couch I have a wireless mouse and keyboard. With this dead simple setup I cannot only watch regular tv, I can of course do anything you can think of doing on a pc. It also has become my favorite gaming setup.

I think governments should be more active to protect citizens of course. Non-technical people are prey nowadays. I despise this new economy and I'll never ever want to make any money of of it, I'd rather live and die poor.
> RMS must go because he is fat and ugly, and thus makes women uncomfortable (the horror!)

That's pretty much the definition of a creep. Women still gushing over Ted Bundy. We forgive pretty people for many sins. Let's not forget that Dolores Umbridges among women. I've had to work with one ... would not let around her a million miles from my dog.
I every now and then I have to have this conversation with my mum and dad: "the TV will occasionally ask you to tell it your name, where you live, your birthday etc. Don't tell it ANYTHING. They can't make you."

I wish the people who make my parents' TV would stop trying to trick them into doxing themselves.
I could believe it if you counted only the time taken to type just literal code. Probably discounted the time it would take to build the UI .xib, wire up all the event-handler delegates, and set all your layout constraints for the various screen sizes.

And doesn't this use the camera and/or photos API? Not hard, but somewhat time consuming to set up your boilerplate for these. Also handling permissions request, response, & error handling. Probably copy/pasted from another project so it wouldn't count?

Yeah I'm skeptical, but also sounds like a fun challenge.
I played with the thought that municipalities should hold the producers of the product (packaging) that can be foud in the streets responsible for the cleanup cost.

Some kind of data needs to be collected by a team like this team an based on that data the offending brands get bills.

Surely the understanding is the main purpose though. The value of being able to do long division is pretty minimal; the value of understanding how division actually works and the fact that you can break down one hard problem into multiple easier sub problem is surely more important.

I've seen this helping my son with addition: he knew to carry the one, but no one had explained what that actually meant. It was just a magic series of steps that gave the right answer, with no connection to related issues of place value etc that they then teach separately.
Nobody even learns how to derive any formula in high school. The teacher might show it once (if even that), but then everyone just forgets it and applies the formula like a robot. Same with chain rule, integration by substitution, or anything really. People only learn how to apply it, and essentially never the idea behind it. In my class (which was focused on math) I had to explain to someone how the derivatives relate to the speed and acceleration of a car, something that should have been understood for 2 years now. And yet, she did completely fine in classes. Fairly good grades - not the best, because she had trouble with the later tasks that required more thinking, but the first 80% of every test she aced because she just practiced doing the same thing over and over again, without actually understanding any of it.

Do I agree that this is a completely fine strategy for getting good grades? Sure. But you're gonna have a lot of catching up to do if you want to apply this knowledge to anything that isn't a text book task that was made up specifically for you without any context.

You can still buy a Dumb TV, for example from Sencor.

I'm fairly sure there's a line of TVs for "industrial" purposes (e.g. the ones you see in airports) that are both hardened and lack any privacy invasive features - however, they come at a premium.

Which is always the issue - people want a 65" TV, but they don't want to spend $6000 on it. But if they can have it for $2000 (for example) they're all over it, glossing over the mostly unobtrusive privacy invasion that goes with it.
What you want is a different matter than what Google should list first in the search results.
Hebrews 11:1
This seems like a solved problem: agree at the time which translation takes precedence in the event of a dispute. Use a third language (historically French was the language of diplomacy, now English, but for modern treaties you could pick any major world language) if, as is likely, neither side likes the idea of the binding version being in the other side's language.

The same problem has to be solved in countries with more than one official language. In Ireland, the Irish-language version of a law takes precedence. This is a little awkward in theory since parliamentarians, civil servants, judges and lawyers overwhelmingly do not speak Irish to a sufficient level to draft, debate or interpret the law, and laws often exist for years before anyone gets around to translating them and thereby creating the "definitive version". But in practice, the legal system generally works.

Well that is pretty much what you paid for - a low cost device with the caveat being that it's ad supported. You get what you (don't) pay for. Of course, it used to be that Kindles were relatively low cost because you could easily buy books from Amazon directly from it. I guess they didn't earn enough money from that - piracy maybe?
When I was a kid in the 1970s, I remember there was a group that was doing a ballot proposition petition drive to allow greyhound racing in California.

Wikipedia has a pagerank of 8, which means a lot of people link back to it. Google only has a PR of 9 (as does reddit). Almost no site has a PR of 10. So wikipedia is considered pretty authoritative on a lot of stuff.
> In the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 242, the French text instructed Israel to withdraw from ‘des territoires’ (the territories) it occupied during the 1967 Six-Day War. The English text, however, merely read ‘territories’, removing the definite article and thus leaving ambiguous how much territory Israel should cede.

This is inaccurate. « Des territoires » would be more accurately translated as 'some territories' or just 'territories', the author is thinking of « les territoires ».

I find this kind of news deeply worrying...critical thinking should be applied to everything, and purging an archive of some of its controversial stuff (albeit a common practice in real ones too as pointed out) is a terrifying perspective, what's the next subject, where do you stop, is the internet to become a 'validated safe space'? A chilling perspective. If you cannot handle discussion about absolutely anything without being afraid or influenced something is deeply wrong in the way you have been educated.

AFAICT Roku sends logs to two separate endpoints, so blocking those visa pihole can give you some protection, however, it's hard to tell if any data is being sent to raw IP addresses.
There is a difference between bias and factual error. The suggestion being made is that articles are being spread with gross factual inaccuracies (intentional or not) at a higher rate than previously.

No one is suggesting that misinformation and bias didn't exist previously, the suggestion is that it is spreading at a greater rate.

To conflate bias with misinformation to the extent of exclusion as you are suggesting seems unnecessarily harsh to me. MSM had it's problems always, but it is incomparable to the basic factual inaccuracy prevalent in social media and the internet pundits that exist today. That can be argued, but it is a separate point.

The problem is that I want to just use the netflix built-into the TV. Firing up a separate device just to watch something seems like a waste of energy to me, and then I probably need a separate controller for it(like, I can control the PS4 with my TV remote, but I cannot switch it on remotely without using the DS4).

Highly recommend Leo Braudy’s “Frenzy of Renown”. Basically considered the default text in the field of celebrity studies.

Braudy’s hypothesis is the celebrity has always been an inherently quasi-religious phenomenon. Religious only in the sense though of being post-death or of having an afterlife. Attaining celebrity is a transcendent goal in each generation a few can reach.

Every era of society has a means of attaining life in the next world. This is often seen as the ultimate purpose / highest goal one can achieve. The best way to attain this is being known in eras beyond the one you live in. Sometimes this is via extreme piousness (sainthood), military and political conquest (history), or in modern conceptions, being so extremely known in the present it simulates a forever-knowing effect through everyone-knowing.

Wish I could describe it better, but here is the book: https://www.amazon.com/Frenzy-Renown-Fame-Its-History/dp/067...

Except for a monitor you are likely to pay thrice as much as for a TV of comparable screen size.

It doesn't end there; while I was looking for a monitor I found several models running Android! One can not be too careful these days.

: is the null command. Kind of like /bin/true. So : followed by anything exists simply to perform expansion on something. If you fully understand what that means, then you will understand this: $_ is simply “whatever the last argument to the previous command expanded to”. So : is the previous command and the ${1… expanded value is now ${_….

Because $_ is used in the expansion of itself, it is the same value, because the command has not yet completed, which would (re) set $_. So use of a thing ($_) in expanding the same thing ($_) is perfectly fine until after that (null) command (:) runs. You see that the final $_ is used standalone. Hope this helps.

And then there's you, trivialising the whole discussion with the "did nothing wrong" meme. How is that intellectually gratifying?

You left out from your list the stance that while Stallman did in fact, repeatedly, do wrong, he still didn't deserve to get his words mangled by the press (which undoubtedly contributed to the public outrage).
Employment ends when the employee quits or the employer fires the employee. However, you are wrong: they do not have the right to fire striking employees. That violates the National Labor Relations Act. In fact, dropping the workers' insurance policy might also violate the NLRA.
I assume that the author has better visibility to actual download numbers than App Annie or Sensor Tower. I assume they just got the number from the App Store connect.

That is, apple highlights are massively more impactful that any other venue. My app had reviews in multiple publications and I average about 200 downloads per week, at around 4500 impressions. It got featured once in some list (in Thailand) and I got about 1 million impressions per day. Sadly, the app was paid (and not translated) at the time so no sales.

10k downloads per week is legitimately impressive for this kind of app. Kudos

> I didn’t interpret Stallman’s comment to mean this at all.

It does though, just by leaving room for Minsky just thinking she might be "willing", "not coerced".

> As far as I am aware we don’t know where or when it allegedly happened

On that private island during an AI conference held by Epstein when Minsky was 73 and the girl 17.

Though AFAIK there isn't a claim Minsky did anything, just that the girl was "directed to have sex" with VIP, including Minsky. One person stated Minsky turned her down, and she AFAIK didn't claim Minsky even touched her.

But that "something happened" is the hypothetical scenario within which Stallman argued on that mailing list. It's not my "assumption" at all.

> Some of the details you are assuming about the victim being 17 or the encounter having occurred on a private island seem to have been pieced together in a highly speculative verge article or from internet commentators (if you have quality sources of information that report otherwise please share)

Why not just ask right away, instead of after me telling me about my assumptions and sources. The first thing I heard about this was a link to the mailing list, the rest from searches. I never even read the Verge article, no need. I know some articles falsely claim RMS defended Epstein, but that's also not from reading them.

See the sources in the footnotes of that article. If you disagree, don't just do it here, correct the WP article. I for one made sure I know what I'm talking about before I even started to do so. And Stallman isn't being silenced, either, he simply doesn't have a leg to stand on here.
