There is a famous analogy, I forgot the source (maybe Cory Doctorow?): why do you have a door at your toilet? everybody knows what you are doing there.

So I don't need any of your private data. I voluntarily post my own, as concerns my passions. But let me choose what I make public and what I don't. That's the point.

(I don't use Amazon. All my work is public, I use only free software, even at home.)
The reality of two genders.
> Men who sleep 5 hours a night have significantly smaller testicles than men who sleep 7 hours or more

Seems logic. I wonder what this men could do to kill time in all of those extra hours in the bed.
> It doesn't appear that there is such a thing as a flashback from LSD.

That's false. Many people report constantly seeing low-key visuals after LSD, and I myself sometimes see the familiar geometric patterns when I meditate with my eyes open. Still consider LSD a very positive and life enhancing experience for me, but this seems very ill-informed and badly researched. Despite my positive experience, I would be very catious about advising LSD to others, especially to people who haven't gone through extensive therapy first.
In this case the analogy would be that software companies should be hold accountable for the decisions their AI makes?
> Maybe; but it’s an educated one.

No, it's your subjective one. Nothing educated about it.
Not OP, but I'd imagine a lot, if the camera scans at 30fps, maybe be conservative and show the codes at 10fps.

My QR reader on Android (ZXing's Barcode Reader) shows you the information on the screen before you decide what you want to do with it. That's as "Human Readable" as it needs to be, for me.
Would this work even with crappy laptop speakers or would you need some proper hardware?

Also, QR codes are much easier to make. You just print them on any cheap printer. You can display them on a screen. They are platform and medium independent. I think this is underrated.
I think you are right on track with your observation. Another thing I might add:

QR codes can just be printed, by everybody with a printer. Designers don't need to think a lot about technical details, they just put the QR code into their layout and send it off to the printing press (or in fact the screen).

Additionally because QR Codes are optical, it doesn't matter if you stand 20 meters away from the billboard if the QR code is big enough, while with NFC you would have to come close.
I just spent two weeks trying to figure out code at work that required 8 dev dependencies from npm locked down to certain version numbers not specified in the package.json.

That ends up being hundreds of total dependencies to run two build steps and 1 http service. What a waste of time and code.

How did we get so drug addicted to shitty outside code? Had I not been completely new to the team I could written a better solution in about an hour directly with Node.
Hilariously wrong. Doesn't explain why the sun gets smaller so rapidly when it sets. It can't explain it, either.
I might be able to elaborate on this a bit. At $JOB, we're coming to the end of migrating a bunch of PHP services to Kubernetes from their various homes. I have seen the following configurations:
Apache/mod_php,.htaccess disabled;
Apache/mod_php,.htaccess required;
Nginx/PHP-FPM colocated;
Nginx/PHP-FPM using remote FastCGI;

We now only use one of these, and every other variant webserver configuration required a non-trivial amount of work to convert.

What does this have to do with clouds? In non cloud environments, deployments are pretty sticky - you put something in place on a VM and it stays there for an expected lifespan of perhaps a decade, so the fact that the webserver configuration might be hard to port to a different environment is not especially relevant. Conversely, it's easy enough to chop and change cloud environments (and the ability to do so is in some sense their USP!) that the portability issues of external Web servers come to the fore.
No, spying does not require malicious intent. If you look through your neighbours' blinds every night, just to ensure they're doing well, you're still invading their privacy and spying on them.
By definition spying is to collect information furtively, which I think qualifies the behaviour of all internet trackers as 90% of the population is unaware of their existence and 99% of the population doesn't know the extent of their consolidated online profile. The uncontrolled collection of data is itself harmful, that's why the GDPR requires companies to justify the pieces of information they collect.
There's a huge push in MSFT for PowerApps.

Like ... crazy push. They're running free App in a Day workshops in hundreds of cities, and the "Power Platform" (Power BI, PowerApps, and Flow) is their key foot in the door sale in FY20.

Low code/no code is always a Modern Workplace linchpin.
The article is not talking about recording people on the toilet. It's talking about the surveillance cameras that are placed outside, in public. There is no conceivable way for your actions outdoors, in public, to be private because they are taking place in public.

The article also seems to presume that there is some single source where the data from all these disparate systems is tied together, but no such thing exists afaik.
> Many people report constantly seeing low-key visuals after LSD

That's not the classical 'flashback' though, which is generally described as suddenly being back in the middle of it in an overwhelming way. It's more like a low-level HPPD (which is something of an oxymoron as HPPD is defined by being high-level enough to interfere in life).

"Nomophobia, the fear of low battery on phones, is virtually nonexistent in China, thanks to the widespread availability of power bank stations"

Perhaps I'm more paranoid than other people, but plugging your phone in to a public USB device seems incredibly dangerous to me. At the very least someone could have tampered with it to damage the next user's device, and at the worst it could be cloning your device's entire storage.
The order of things and they relative advantage of previous tech is important here. In order of appearance we had cash, swipe cards, chip cards, contactless cards, QR codes and NFC (in a usable manner). But not every country had them spread equally.

In China a large portion of the population practically skipped credit cards, when the mobile revolution came there was no NFC but QR codes were easy to implement. As a buyer you just need a camera on your phone and as a merchant you just need a piece of paper. No need for a register, no need for internet connection. In Hong Kong and Taiwan the transportation NFC card practically replaced cash and payment cards and also made NFC cards practically no better, also making QR codes relatively non-interesting. With the advent of WeChat however, this went to the side I suppose (haven't been there since so can't say for sure)

In contrast in Europe we did not use swipe cards much and went quickly to chip. Transition to contactless cards was more or less seamless because when you refreshed your card you got a contactless one. Which made merchants want to upgrade terminals. Mobile payment jut piggy backed on that. There are some shops that accept qr code payments, but with presence of Apple and Android pay, this is a massively worse use case. QR codes are marginally more convenient than credit cards, but they require almost zero specific infrastructure.

From what I understand in the US chip cards came so late that everybody just immediately skipped to Apple/Android pay. However since chip card terminals are needed for nfc, this made adoption by merchants more of a "thing". It was quite common to see "this shop now accepts apple pay" as a headline.
Some people really have no problem revealing those to their "tribe" and it's unfathomable to them that members of their "tribe" would have bad intentions. These people form a large part of the voting population.
> you can't innovate features independently

That's also the case with open protocols like IRC. Sure you can write an IRC client with reaction emoji support, and it will look great in your client, and anyone using a different client will just see garbage metadata. You can only innovate by getting "everyone" to agree on a new standard, and that's hard.

The important thing about space is that's there's no elsewhere.

In a closed system of a star, the sphere, and the outer space eventually energy will flow from the star to the outer space region.

There's no perfect insulation. (See also Maxwell's demon.)

Of course detection is a different matter altogether. Hiding better and better is possible. But if you really want to hide a Dyson swarm is not the best way :)
It's also how I used to code under DOS (except using int 20h to exit and save 3 bytes, plus not copying CS into DS since .com has both equal). But my point precisely is that in order to provide such small binaries, you have to 1) have the skills, and 2) accept to think. Now many devs look up for obvious responses on stackoverflow before even making the effort of solving the problem by themselves, and as a result they inherit from tons of dependencies that cannot be removed and add huge stacks of functions with absolutely zero benefit for their use case.
nnn looks promising, I'll definitely check it out. As for files, you mean you can't see the preview of an image right in the file manager?

This article talks about the cost of opting out, but doesn't go into some of the more insidious ways in which companies have made it harder and harder to do so. I recently opened the Downloads app on my new Mi phone only to find a notice asking me to grant authorization to Xiami to "... collect, process and use [my] personal data" in order to use the app[1]. Why does a basic downloads app need to gather and analyze my personal data? Why can't I use a version of the app that doesn't collect that data, and why is the agreement framed almost as a carte blanche for Xiaomi to collect personal data? I can see that the downloads app is running in the background, because it sends me notifications every now and then about recent downloads, which was what prompted me to open the app in the first place as I wanted to disable those on the app level. Now there's an app on my phone that's constantly running in the background whose behaviour I cannot control except by blocking all permissions and internet access unless I decide to give Xiaomi the keys to my data. I won't even go into the "Security" app that comes pre-installed that cannot be removed and has permissions to record audio granted by default!

Similarly, Gitlab recently prevented people from logging in and even deleting their own repos unless they agreed to data collection[2]. They had the feature to "opt-out" by setting DNT on your browser - but only if you granted them permission to collect data first. They did turn that feature back, but only after widespread criticism from all quarters. I might just be cynical, but I think we might see more and more companies use basic features as Trojan horses for data collection that is unnecessary to the functioning of those basic features themselves, with options to "opt-out" as cover and PR.

Daily Horoscope Nov First, 2019 – Alwayswomen.com
We have hundreds of thousands of years (if not more) of trying to understand other humans behind us. It's encoded in our biology (theory of mind, mirror neurons), and more recently, in countless of disciplines we engage in - from arts, through law, to psychology. Truly unexpected human behavior is a very rare thing.

We ought to be able to do better than building our ML models as black boxes and saying "humans are black boxes too". We're engineering this technology, so we have an opportunity to make it inspectable. We should take it.
Just as much an enabling technology as QR codes is the ubiquity and openness of WeChat/AliPay/Taobao, in my opinion.
One thing that concerns me about the "you should read the documentation" argument is that even if the person writing the code did that for every function they used, anyone reading the code is likely to make (reasonable) assumptions. So bugs like accidentally regularizing, for example, could slip past code review.
"Nothing to hide" does not mean "nothing private". "Nothing to hide" means "no unlawful action". It's another thing alltogether from having private things.
The article makes some valid points. But it is full of unnecessary snark. "If you’re a smartypants, or someone whose brain was ruined by machine learning, ..." - come on. This kind of tone is not helping to communicate, or to motivate those that volunteers their time to making scikit-learn.

That's the one that bothers me, as there is hardly ant competition possible in the security checks business.

> Because the data are finite, the data could admit many close-to-optimal models that predict differently from each other: a large Rashomon set.

Hmm. But the ultimate goal isn’t actually to find a model that makes good predictions on the training data. It’s to find a model that makes good predictions on data that‘s ingested in the future when the algorithm is put to actual use. But the set of possible future data is infinite! (Or at least exponentially large, depending on whether the input fields have finite precision.)
What I find repulsive is that macros are a micro-optimization for the author but a huge destroyer of readability. Consider a simple macro like "if-not" - just an inverted if. In a lanaguage without macros, the maintainer can be sure that there is only one construct like if. The eyes can skim over code, easily understanding semantics of the code without reading into it. Now consider the mere possibility that some if are if-nots: suddenly the mere ifs become a minefield for the reader. And if LX claims ability to eg modify the semantics of X.Y - it's going to be an unreadabe mess.

My point is, readability of code increases proportionately not just to the complexity and size of code, but also proportionately to the size of syntax. In a language with no macros, the latter is fixed and you get a linear dependency. In extensible PLs it's a quadratic one with an unknown second factor, jeesh! I think the approach with a more powerful but almost fixed language (eg Haskell where macros are hard and mostly used to generate boilerplate definitions) is better than a small but extensible language with every programmer on a contest of who makes a wittier and sleeker new control structure that is like the builtin ones but SO much cooler...

I have several drag queen friends and friends that work/perform in gay clubs, simply commenting on their posts causes me to get 1-2 unsolicited dick picks (or worse, spread cheeks for example) a month on average from friends of theirs or people that simply follow them. I am not gay, I am not interested in penises, I did not ask for them. I report every single one.

A side effect of adtech and surveillance mania infecting everything, URLs in QR codes are likely to be either semirandom strings with tracking IDs, or links to URL shorteners that expand to such semirandom strings with tracking IDs. Either is very trivial to spoof with a similar-looking malicious URL.

Removing porn links by default probably removes a considerable amount of spam and to keep creeps from sending your 12-year-old or your grandma graphic porn links.
In short: QR codes are a great way of connecting arbitrary physical items with your smartphone and as a consequence with any kind of web service. A bit similar to NFC, but with some important differences: they don't require any electronics, work at any range (just make the QR code large enough) and they can be done either by print or displayed on a screen. Additionally, when scanning the QR-code, the user can see the URL it translates to. (Doesn't have to be URLs, but that is probably the most common usage).

I am surprised, not more business cards have QR-codes printed on them with the important contact information. But for my personal use, I have a QR-code containing my email address as a picture on my phone, so I can display it for anyone to scan whom I want to give my address to.
This - plus sometimes "clever" is not trying to be too clever. I take my hat off to the author both for their ingenuity and for correctly identifying it as HN-worthy despite (because of) its simplicity.

ML can be useful, but it is getting too much attention. Far more hype than the value it actually provides in many domains, IMHO.

Yes, I know that there are folks that deal with vast amounts of data with inscrutable relationships where you need fancy algorithms to make progress. But seriously, most problems just don't need it, and many folks would be better off with mastering basic statistics and data analysis.

I think the biggest problem QR codes had when it came to adoption is that phones, by default, don't come with software to read them. If every OEM camera app could read QR codes I think they'd be much more common.

The former obviously applied.

As for the latter, while you didn't comment about HN turning into Reddit, I'd say comparisons in general fit this rule.
