Presumably that is because you're outside Google's filter bubble, which is kind of the whole point of DuckDuckGo and Startpage et al.

Google's results for you are better for you because Google knows too much about you.

A tradeoff for privacy is less relevant search results, or as I like to think of it, access to pages that Google was hiding from me.
And it's still a valid point. It's good to mention that a <20% down payment has caveats, too.
Indeed, I don't understand why anyone thinks they need freedom anymore, we've practically won. There's nothing left to have freedom from, other than the remaining vestiges of hatred we must always be fighting. There can be no freedom from justice and accountability. Obviously, these people are using freedom to mean something other than what society already provides, as if their interests were somehow more legitimate, or they were trying to preserve the seeds of hatred that we've finally made progress against. We live in a society and an international system of co-ordination, while not perfect - it is against terror and hate, and so only hate groups and other terrorists could want to limit its reach or find alternatives.

I could go on, but that's about where we are.
>By breaking the law, these travellers got sorted into the "criminals" bin and are now treated like shit.

Only its immigration law so its civil not criminal law.

That's the biggest mental divide I come across, there is a certain group that is very quick to label people as "illegal immigrants" or "illegal aliens" or just plain "illegals". Of course the intent is to convey and suggest illegal = criminal. This group can't wrap their mind around the fact immigration status isn't a crime.
You could have given it to some near by store saying someone dropped it and maybe he or she may come looking for it..

Long time ago, I came out from Denny's during lunch and just after walking on the right edge of the parking lot, found a bundle of 100 dollar bills. There were several restaurants in the same location. I walked into the same Dennys and gave it to the cashier saying I found it in the parking lot and probably belongs to someone who might have visited here and then left. Next day I get a call from Dennys saying the owner of the cash wants to thank you and reward you. I said thanks but not needed.
I believe gdpr holds true for business transactions, or where money or services are exchanged.

I don't believe it applies to non business transactions such as the for simple act of sharing something with another person where no receipt of transaction is provided.

There are other laws to protect you there such as libel and slander laws.
How many people need to senselessly die before we realize that sometimes it's better to just let some lunatic hole up in his house for a few weeks while an FBI agent drinks coffee, reads the news, and waits for them to surrender. That agent was killed while sneaking up to the house like he was a member of Seal Team 6 and stumbled upon the kid out hunting, instead of just driving up to the house and saying "hey, you missed your court date - you're eventually going to need to see the doctor, dentist, or buy ice cream, so let's settle this like adults."
Brings back memories of getting around various iterations of useless parental control software on the family computer back in the day. And even before that, picking the lock on the TV cabinet to get to the Nintendo.

Nobody has any data they can show you, because Oracle's EULA prohibits both running their software and sharing that data, you can only do one of those.

My experience is that Postgres has better performance than Oracle on much smaller machines. If you have very simple data, with very simple joins, and never deviate from the trivial "select columns from table join table using (foreign key)" you may have a different experience, because Oracle is just great on those.
Mensa-level extremes are not rare at all. They're something like 2% of the population (probably even more when you consider they allow multiple retests and other non-IQ tests).

> What is your theory for how to understand these results?

There is nothing to understand. It is purely an artifact of their sampling process. There is no reversal and no mystery. IQ simply correlates with better performance and health as far up as we can measure it into samples like TIP or SMPY, period, and 100% consistent with mutation-selection balance. Mensa attracts losers, and those losers self-select even further into a survey asking about self-diagnosed problems, and these researchers were too lazy to do a good study and too dishonest to discuss forthrightly all the reasons why one knows a priori their results only demonstrate that sampling from Mensa is a really bad idea (I say 'dishonest' because they do not mention any of the very well known contrary results and I am also told these points were all brought up to them before publication and they refused to address any of them).
For birthdays I use Google contacts / calendar.

For stuff related to people I use Google contacts and if the information gets long enough I move it to Trello. Haven't really had the need though...

But come to think of it I think you could probably put together a pretty solid crm with Trello custom fields
the VMS HELP system was my introduction to "learn a system by using depth-first HELP". I also recall eventually coming across the page which explained dynamic linking (I couldn't even link hello world with my 2 block disk quota).
Plato was a "great philosopher", in the sense of the how philosophers tend to approach things: propose an abstract concept and then contemplate its consequences. The initial abstraction doesn't necessarily have to be tethered to reality and in some cases doesn't need to be internally consistent (at least at the outset, sometimes philosophers will then try to refine).

If you tend to gravitate towards either a mathematical thinking style or a scientific thinking style, Plato and Aristotle will probably underwhelm.

(And actually you'll probably find that a great deal of modern philosophers, Kant, Nietsche, Foucault, etc. are not that much more up your alley.)
Startup School is a new shiny wrapper.
> Okay, but how do you know Duck Duck Go is privacy orientated?

My privacy results are not different than yours (assuming we have the same region set up). Ads that are shown are purely context-based. There's no account to which my search data is tied to. My device makes no third-party connections when opening the results page.

That's better than 95% of the web. Perfect is the enemy of good.
I don’t buy it. I scroll on hacker news or send my friends nonsense when I’m too tired/unfocused to read a book. The time isn’t interchangeable. I generally read 50-80min per day depending on how busy I am. If work is easy at that period add another 30min of studying technical material on my own time.
You can think of it as a "Bootstrap for Mobile/Desktop Apps" if that helps. It's not based on React Native but could be used with it to build out certain screens in the app.

Face unlock is utterly insecure. Grab the phone and tell the owner "hey, what's this?". It will unlock before they remember not to look at it.

You can be forced to put your finger on the device to unlock it, but at least that has no plausible deniability. the most secure option is still a long PIN/passphrase, but that's too inconvenient.

> Cost Reduction – We reduced our database costs by over 60% on top of the heavily discounted rate we negotiated based on our scale. Customers regularly report cost savings of 90% by switching from Oracle to AWS.

So Amazon saves 60%, when switching to paying "cost" for Amazon services - and they still claim customers paying cost+markup save 90%?

I'm sure there's probably savings - but that math sounds optimistic.

Or more likely they're apple to oranges - porting a service that could run on a single postgres node from oracle to anything will save you maybe 10k USD a year in licensing for which you see a pretty slim return.

First to market in hardware, especially 30+ years ago wasn't a minor advantage it was an enormous advantage.

And I'm not suggesting Kodak should have just went for digital in 1975, as that wasn't cost effective, or practical. But they should have, arguably, understood it was the future and at least pretended that it was a possible revenue stream. Instead they actively avoided it, and doubled-down on the "we're a chemical company" for decades. Then they went bankrupt.

Worse than that, too, was that WCF tried to be an "all worlds" solution, so it was an okay-not-great RPC toolkit, and an okay-not-great REST API toolkit, and an okay-not-great IPC toolkit, (and it tried to be a terrible P2P communications toolkit for several years), and so forth.

Replacing WCF won't be easy in a lot of cases not so much because there's a lot of WCF-specific code, but simply figuring out where on the flowchart of possible concerns to migrate to:

Were you using WCF for RPC? Try gRPC, unless you really need SOAP support or worse WS-* support (I'm sorry) and then, uh, good luck. (Though SOAP libraries for .NET Core do exist and turn up in search results, depending of course how far down the WS-* rabbit hole you need to go.)

Were you using WCF for REST API? Try ASP.NET directly now instead of indirectly. Need client tools support? Take a look at Swagger (now aka OpenAPI) to replace WCF's odd extensions to SOAP's WSDL for REST APIs. Or maybe look into GraphQL (or less commonly Falcor) if you want something really new and wild.

(Were you using WCF for P2P communications? That hasn't been officially supported since Vista and whoops.)

WCF was actually pretty well built for exactly this sort of migration (the focus on interface-first design, data contracts, etc; in some cases it's just writing interface implementations where there were none before), and even the most WCF heavy applications were far more about fiddly giant bits of config files than actual code specific to supporting WCF. I really do think that half the challenge in migrating away from WCF has more to do with figuring out which tool (or tools, given you might have been using WCF for multiple things) to migrate to, as much as any actual code migration.
Anyone can say anything they want on the internet! The variables here are conveniently precisely aligned where real world chances of this happening are null. I also call BS. But a noteworthy mention to the marketing idea. With all due respect.
Very interested to see all these Meetup competitors developing! Seems there are kind of two main buckets here: simple tools focused on organize events, and platforms that are more a two-sided market where event discovery / matching interests and attendees is a factor as well.

For hosting small dinners and learning events, I'm looking mostly for the former, and one tool that's quite new but looks very promising is Mixily: https://www.mixily.com

It's a nice streamlined tool, prioritizes privacy, and has a number of solid features like messaging and event reminders, date polling (like doodle), comments wall, variety of privacy settings. Also some other very cool things in beta, like contact lists, and ticketed / donation-based events.
Yeah I got into this conversation with her after a hot 'pyrex' dish exploded and damaged the linoleum in my apartment. She suggested I go yard sale hunting for old Pyrex.

I was talking about the white casserole dishes also made by Corning. Wikipedia says it's called pyroceram. Also says it was an accidental discovery while trying to invent something else.
The minute we can find a book that replicates a Skinner box, you may be onto something. I agree that yes, just being on your phone isn't a terrible thing, but it's not really comparable to books just because of its ability to provide more effective, immediate, and addictive feedback.

re: downloads, it's not quite that simple. `ionic` is our CLI while `react-native` is the actual library that is installed and will be installed frequently for build systems, etc. Also there are multiple versions of Ionic under multiple package names. Not arguing that React Native has more NPM downloads though but Ionic is quite popular on its own!

Significant geopolitical events have become a mainstay of HN, for better or worse. This one is a landmark example because it falls outside of the pattern people have (sadly) grown accustomed to.

Edit: The second sentence was referring to the significance of the event (and why it would therefore be interesting to people on HN); I didn't mean to say the HN post itself was an outlier in some way.
No matter how bad a comment is, please don't respond by breaking the site guidelines yourself. Posting in the flamewar style this aggressively is something we ban accounts for, because it degrades discussion badly.

Faster Payments is the standard, free way of making payments to bank accounts in the UK. Everyone with online banking here has easy access to it regardless of what bank they use. Also, our debit cards generally have enough information to send someone a payment that way for some reason.
Yes. 4 big macs a month for a small meeting that noone is making money on is too expensive. You're absolutely right.

There are free solutions, Meetup can turn over and die.
Giving your fingerprints is already pretty mandatory for all the French citizens, and now the government is pushing for face recognition to be used as the default identification system... (meanwhile, centralized databases on all the citizens were illegal just a couple decades ago !)

VMS Clustering was very interesting. It was basically baked in to all layers of the OS, if I remember. You could access devices, file systems, users, batch queues, processes, etc. across the cluster. It felt very well designed.
I had many of these problems until I straight-up turned off viewing history. Now my recommendations are trash because they're too generic, which is precisely how I like them.

Not to say that for some folks a complete abolition of YouTube might be well in order.

It's not theft because you're free to leave any time. You stay, you agree to the social contract - otherwise you're the one stealing from everyone else.

This is the issue. I'm starting to believe the only options are free ad-supported generic platforms or direct creator-to-fan relationships. Totally free without ads is impossible.
How big are your hands? Do you have a special technique? I've got the one-hand keyboard setting enabled and I still can't type with one hand. My hands aren't big enough to hold it between my palm and finger tips with any sort of stability while using my thumb. It works better if I stretch out my pinky and rest the phone on top of it (not even touching the palm so the thumb has more reach and mobility), but it still falls a lot like that so I end up always reverting to two-hand use. And that's just for typing, I can't do light browsing or anything else with one hand like I did on the Nexus 5

To give a hand size comparison, the length from the very bottom of my palm to the top of my index finger is nearly equal to the height of the pixel 3. My index finger is maybe .25" longer. I'm an average height adult woman (5'5”), with hands proportional to that. I can play a standard size guitar just fine (ok, some bar chords are hard), but I haven't been able to buy an ergonomically comfortable flagship Android device in years now.
Meh. Pretty lame. Feels like someone is generally not happy with a large share of videos on YouTube. There is also not solution proposed. Censorship is one that comes to mind, and which of course won’t work well. I think it is important to realize that YouTube is merely a mirror of our societies.

The very act of investing is the act of taking on risk. It's not free money, you are being rewarded for taking on the risk.

Every disclaimer you will see in the trading world has the disclaimer "Past performance is not an indication of future performance".

Everything in trading is probabilities, which is a way of thinking humans mightily struggle with.

A good day to day example is when a weather forecast calls for an 80% chance for rain on the weekend, so you cancel your camping trip. It ends up not raining, and you curse the meteorologist for being wrong.

They were not wrong - yet most people say they were, showing they are unable to think in a probabilistic way.
These are options that never would have happened without my MBA.

> “messages from non-friends are really hard to find lol” UI dark pattern

You think you would do something different here? And you have considered all the possible ramifications of doing so? No doubt you've considered the impact on the number of spammy/scammy interactions that everyone experiences, the number of harassing messages that people around the world receive and you've made an informed trade-off between that and meaningful social interactions people have with the folks who find their wallet.

Seems like a pretty strong statement to call it a dark pattern, implying malice, when it could just be a good thing.

France experienced a high amount of bomb attacks in the 70s and 80s, eventually tapering off in the 90s [1]. The aggressive reaction to unattended bags stems from these events.

> In France, a bag in a public place is deemed to be a bomb and the military has to come, secure the area and destroy it.

That's obviously not true. If it was the case, the Paris subway would forever be stopped.

What is true is that in France when someone reports an abandoned bag in a public place in the main cities, it will systematically be considered as suspect. It means that someone will first go visually inspect it. If it is deemed to present a risk, a detection dog will be brought. Then, if the detection dog smells something, it will be safely handled by the police bomb disposal unit. Thankfully - it turns a half an hour top operation into a significantly longer one - it is very rare to need to destroy a bag.

Also it is absolutely not illegal to check a lost wallet (or a lost bag actually) in France.
