This news made me discover where the line is. My Android device is always listening, it tracks my every journey knowing where I travel to and how I get there. Google scan my email and undoubted have traced the majority of my internet activity.

Now they want to know each time my heart beats, how many steps I take, how many calories I am burning etc. Nope. No thanks. Never been one to boycott devices but the Fitbit is now in the draw. I will be looking for a garmin this weekend.
Completely agree. It should be safer to not know everything. Collecting personal information should be a massive liability. If they insist on collecting huge amounts of data they shouldn't be able to claim they didn't know anything when authorities find that crimes were being committed. They had the data, failed to analyze it and their negligence enabled the crimes to occur. They are as much at fault as the criminals themselves.

That ought to end the pervasive monitoring of users for marketing purposes.
This doesn’t seem to be a first sale doctrine issue in any way and is not related to the case you linked at all.

Just because you have the right to sell something doesn’t mean you have the right to list it for sale wherever you want.

I know I was told I can no longer talk negatively about Google on Hacker News nor point to a popular HN thread that puts Google in a bad light. I told my story for awhile on HN and lo and behold after doing so another student/inventor told a similar story with evidence of Google getting caught doing X.

I do wonder who is making up these rules and why do they care what I say about Google? If I talk frequently about the same Yahoo story one that is neutral and I am neutral are you going to tell me to stop/say that is spam too?
This quote from Alan Greenspan (emphasis mine) is a little unsettling:

> Let us remember that the basic purpose of any tax cut program in today's environment is to reduce the momentum of expenditure growth by restraining the amount of revenue available and trust that there is a political limit to deficit spending.

I wonder where that limit lies and what circumstances will we be in when we find it.
Except those large deficits are largely funded by baby boomers buying bonds, not millenials.

And the interest is by and large around the level inflation is at (sometimes lower, sometimes higher).

And those yield bearing instruments are then left to the boomers' children when they die.

Moreover, if that national debt is being used to pay for national assets like infrastructure, the younger generation get to benefit from that.

If you want to look for intergenerational wealth transfers this isn't the place to look.
One of the Samba people connected to a Bitkeeper server using telnet and typed ‘help’. The server helpfully returned the commands it would accept. This rather infuriated Larry who considered this reverse engineering.
Really? The result of post-modernism?

That seems to suggest to me that you're saying that if the primacy of the authoritarian-religious-mindset had stayed around, such an effect wouldn't have happened.

Now, I can respect that there are a minority of relatively liberal religious traditions, but it seems to me that surveillance and monitoring and censorship would be something that you would predict would be pushed by such an authoritarian religious mindset had it stayed around, not caused by a crumbling of its authority.

Surely the common thread here is authoritarianism, and neither religion nor its downfall in the post-modern era, and the reason its happening now is purely because we have the technological means.
Analogies aren’t universally bad but they’re not really arguments.

You need to have an argument for the two things being in the same category for them to make sense.
Yes, this is true. Sometimes doing right for your kids requires a great deal of sacrifice.

When my eldest was in primary school in a very small town, they implemented a surveillance system that I (and a lot of other parents) objected greatly to. There was no other school in the area, and home-schooling was not an option for us.

It took a year or so, but we resolved the situation by moving to another city.

How do you stop paying for medical outcomes? And why should we care?

As part of insurance pools, today I pay for extreme sports injuries, alcohol and tobacco related chronic problems, outright stupidity, and obesity related issues.

No one seems to balk at that; why should THC or magic mushrooms be fundamentally different? Even if they “should” be, how could they be?
Telegram is not at all secure, the only real secure product is Signal, which is what Snowden actually recommended.
The "1000 degree red hot knife" fad was reasonably organic. It combined a couple of viral factors -- a visually arresting thumbnail (bright red knife), a short video demonstrating something unusual and somewhat violent (objects melting or catching fire), and a formula which can easily be iterated upon (substituting in new victims for the knife).
One of the unexpectedly adventurous organisations when it comes to playgrounds in the uk is the National Trust.

When I was a kid, a visit to an NT property was being dragged around some posh house where you couldn't touch anything.

Somewhere around 15-20 years ago I think they realised their clientele was getting older and older and ever since they've been on a bit of a mission to make more of their properties kid/family friendly. They now have some of the best play areas we know of, most of them in woodland, with the equipment etc made of wood, often taken from the woodland, or built into the landscape. We took a small group to one today, and they would have spent hours playing there if we'd had the time, much longer than they will play at some of the more structured "modern" play areas near here.

1. Musical taste is very highly subjective. There is arguably "bad" music, but there's a great deal of "good" music which fails to break through into popularity. Or which, having once been popular, falls from grace. Johann Sebastian Bach is a notable instance of this -- he'd languished into near complete obscurity until "rediscovered" (IIRC by Mendelsohn). One consequence is that a large portion of the Bach opus has been lost.

More recently there've been experiments in which multiple groups are exposed to non-mainstream music, separately. Each group picks "hits", but what's popular among one group isn't generally shared with others.

2. The music industry itself acts as a gatekeeper to the genre, both in selecting hits and in blocking access to alternative productions (or of alternative acts' and songwriters' access to the hit-making machine). Barry Kerner has covered one response to this in his book Pop Song Piracy: Disobedient Music Distribution Since 1929, covering among other elements, fakebooks, songsheets, cassettes, and MP3s:

Which is why WWII and WWI are closely related: had I been writing that comment, I would have said that the revolution in social order and cancellation in debt happened in the period from WWI through to the end of WWII.

In 1910, Europe was an aristocracy, and even the US social order was defined by some enormous winners at the top. WW1 itself dramatically reoriented the power dynamics internationally, which led to dramatic political change everywhere, which setup the conflicts that resulted in WW2.

AFAIK DPAPI is basically encryption with key specific for current user, not application. So malicious application can easily replicate that process.
Their high national debt is more of a consequence of their stalling economy than a result of it though - in the form of counter cyclical fiscal spending. In the 90s nobody wanted to spend so if the government didn't step in and act as a "spender of last resort" the economy would have imploded.

Either way it's not a cause of their economic problems, and the doom-mongering around too high a national debt leading to hyperinflation proved to be the exact opposite of the truth - they struggled with deflation.
Oh, come on! If Telegram can decrypt chats for a user, they can decrypt it if they really want. Any other kind of encryption is irrelevant - from third party attackers, tls works good enough.

There are all sorts of things that seem clever, until you think about the fact that, although nobody is paying attention now, once the stuff hits the fan, there will be all sorts of records that you were reading this article and posting in this thread and so on. And on the destination device, etc.
It's hard to believe that. The large majority of commentary here is negative towards Google, and in fact most of the big guys. Are you saying you got a private message about this?
Oddly, it's the bondholders' money that's funding government spending as they buy bonds. But treasuries are so close to cash that they're almost considered equivalent, so they get to keep the money too. Apparently, increases in government debt effectively create new money, plus an income stream paying very low interest.

So you might say any inflationary pressure from increasing the money supply should have already happened? The question is whether to reduce the money supply and income stream by paying off the bonds, keep it going by rolling them over, or remove the interest payment stream while keeping the money supply almost the same by monetizing the debt.
Yeah, I'd be fine with that. He doesn't come off as a jerk to me, but at least it's something I can understand. I just don't get how he could the word "toxic" could apply to him.

> We have our Bill of Rights for a reason here in America

What's been implicitly added is "For adults only".

Whatever the under-18 class of "children" (except when they aren't!) don't have rights.
let’s chat. i’ve tried a couple qr-related early stage ideas this past year.
Sure, some playgrounds may be mind-numbingly dull, but those are a well-intentioned response to older playgrounds that posed serious physical dangers. You can argue that getting a little bit scraped up once in a while isn't bad for children; it may teach them lessons about how to avoid such future mistakes - but plenty of children have sustained more serious injuries on playgrounds that allowed them to climb much higher than they could on, say, a tree in nature (speaking from my life experience). I think the article conflates the issue of modern over parenting with safer playground design - which if done right, can only be a good thing.
This is good. I kind of buy into this theory. About the 100-300 year cycle, that stands as well. History is littered with changing reserve currencies.
>I really, truly, wish I could share your optimism.

Lol. If you mix all of the colors, you get black. If you mix all of the data, you get a black hole.

I had to come up with that one myself to keep my perspective in line.

Hope that helps!
That's obvious and way less interesting than googlified app names
Never would have expected this to make it to the front of HN, but I'm glad it did. This album is well worth listening to, especially the closing track Catastrophe Σ. Even though it's something of an ambient classic today there's not a lot of music that sounds like it outside of the Steve Reich school of minimalism. It captures a little of the explosion of creativity that took place in Japanese culture in the 80s and 90s, and it's great to see that it's managed to break through to Western audiences.

For the record I also discovered this album through YouTube. Through discussions with my colleagues I get the feeling that a lot of what gets recommended to me on YouTube isn't unique to me. Millions of hours of content uploaded a day and somehow we all end up watching the same stuff. Funny how that works.
They're a sign for the future to come for everyone: population decline.

People are willing to accept living conditions for themselves, especially when they're young that are really not conducive to raising a family.

Many people reach the stage where they would otherwise have children and realize that they just don't want that life in the cramped, high cost housing or long commute times and just don't want to afford a family so they don't.
Hmmm i was following your question about who makes the rules up.

I was shocked to hear and be told I can no longer talk negatively about Google on Hacker News and provide my reason why if asked.

Aquabyte (https://www.aquabyte.ai, backed by NEA and Costanoa, top tier investors) is on a mission to revolutionize the sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the sea for generations to come.

Watch our TV episode with Amazon CTO Werner Vogels here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ_qJ5JFD3I

Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.
