So, hold on.

Facebook shipped a product with a security bug. There's nothing unusual about this. Every software with non-trivial functionality has, or has had at some point in the past, many security bugs.

What exactly is the scandal, here? Why are you holding Facebook to a standard that no other company, or open source project is able to meet?
This might seem like overreach, but is just a natural consequence of trademark laws.

If you can trademark a name as simple as "apple", and if you can trademark an icon as simple as 4 squares of identical size and shape next to another (windows/microsoft), then it becomes quite obvious that colors are treated the same.

In the end, trademark laws as a whole will have to be reformed, but this is just a natural consequence of the current laws.

The problem is if they take on that responsibility then if someone loses money to a phish are they liable for not taking it down fast enough?

No, I am not kidding you. You pay tax for your law enforcement to do this. They can easily automate legit legal take down requests. Why can't your cops enforce your laws? Why do random companies have to come up with inconsistent rules,process and response? It's nice to have someone to blame but if hollywood can go after DMCA law enforcement can also go after cybercrime -- it's their job!

Oh, and I did not make them out to be poor companies. My concern is that I don't want these companies anywhere near being responsible for take downs of user generated content what is harmful needs to be defined by lawmakers and enforced by law enforcement not by facebook and cloudflare. You're asking a store owner to inspect patrons for criminal behavior and kick them out when you should be calling 911 to get them arrested. The business owner can and should kick them out but the responsibility of enforcig that law is with cops.
That's weird because I find a ton of stuff at REI's Garage Sales and on eBay. A little elbow grease, a light dusting of hydrophobic spray, maybe a little patching here and there... and my stuff works great!

"Lots of people vote against “socialism” and then collect Medicade, social security and disability."

That reasoning is shallow. They can't opt out of paying the taxes that support those programs; so what sense does it make opting out of the benefits?

Huh? At some point in time these people had $X. They decided that it was better for them to shop at Walmart versus their local grocer. Is this surprising? No. Walmart offers better selection and prices. Economy of scale plays a big part in that.

They had every choice to keep spending their dollars at their local grocer. And they decided not to.
I set this, even though I've blacklisted Google on Firefox. (I just use Chromium if I need to use Gmail). But, how can I stop Google collecting data on my phone? I was initially blocking Google because of censorship, but I can't find any way to control my phone, and it's feeling really personal now.
My take: Because it is more difficult for most people. I suspect that most peoples' brains don't work as well in that style. Yes, they can learn. But no, it would never be the best fit for them.

For some, FP is actually more natural. To them, it's a revelation and a freedom, and they can't understand why everyone else doesn't also find it to be wonderful.
Haha TY for the kind words, I had to stop playing years ago now unfortunately with family commitments - also I mainly enjoyed playing on a team than actually developing real soccer skills (which I relied on others in the team to pull me upwards, heh)
These abuses are a consequence of "money is free speech" and other court decisions which have moved the US towards one-dollar-one-vote rather than one-individual-one-vote.
If Googlers weren't criticizing their own company's behavior there wouldn't be news stories every week about the new thing Googlers are criticizing Google about.

I find that Googlers as a whole are way more willing to criticize Google (both publicly and internally) than employees any other company I've worked for.
The most likely placement of the factory is actually in Poland, just east of Germany. It's a great place to have factories, right next door to Germany, and the wider Europe. I'd say Poland is the main candidate for where they'll place anything. Close enough and so much cheaper.

Not involved with any of this! Poland stronk. We love Poland in any case.
Most places, yes. It's even printed on the cover. The word "facebook" was probably exclusive to East Coast US, from DC to Boston. I didn't even know it was a "facebook" until a local called it that.

That is a load of bollocks. GDPR allows to collect some data as a condition of using the service, but that data must meet pass tests of "purpose", "necessity", and "balance".

Collecting analytics wouldn't pass either the purpose or the balance test IMO.
Check their social media. The people piling onto these protests are people who either don't know they shouldn't be talking politics in public or can't help themselves. Their twitter/facebook/instagram/linkedin will almost certainly be littered with political rants.

I take whatever opportunity I can to call out NIMBYism

Good! NIMBYism is a scourge on our country.
I really appreciate people (amateurs and professionals) who take time to make explanation of mathematics concepts simpler and easier to understand -- even for layman just familiar with basic primary school maths.

Because of such people efforts, I personally consider this to be a golden age for mathematics and an untold opportunity for younger folks (i.e. students) to finally understand the maths, get involved in it and perhaps use it in ways previously only math wizz would have used.

I wish these were available back when I was taking countless Calculus and Algebra courses at University -- all we had were Professors who couldn't explain in a simple way and books which nobody had time to read during course of semester. The end result was simply treating mathematical phenomenons as black-boxes and/or perform rote memorization to clear the course.
Local news won't help much with informed voting for national candidates, unless there's something specific going on like President X is working to close down the local industry etc.

It can be very helpful for informing about local candidates. Even the nearby metropolitan newspaper isn't going to tell me about the incumbent running for reelection who only showed up to one board meeting in the last term; I need the local county newspaper for that.

We are very fortunate. We live in a very rural, conservative, very northern coastal town of California (next door to Oregon). Our typical shopping day has us first visiting a local farm to purchase Eggs, Cream, Beef, and Pork products all organic and locally grown (Alexandre Family Farms). Our next stop is the farm stand for our local organic farm to get in-season fresh vegetables picked very recently (Ocean Air Farms).

After that, our local organic food market which is expanding, having taken over the next door suite's lease. We get whatever staples they carry that were not available at the first two stops (Wild Rivers Market).

Last, we visit a major grocer, such as Safeway or Fred Meyers to get any items not available at the previous 3. Our shopping basket at this stop is progressively getting lighter and lighter as time goes by, thanks to the increased offerings at the first three shopping stops.

Seasonally, we also have two farmer's markets locally, one on Wednesdays and one on Saturdays. We stop at those when they are open, getting locally made goods, crafts, herbs, etc.

We have a local coffee roaster that feeds my caffeine habit, with some custom roasted beans as well as his normal fare... Wild Rivers Coffee - Thanks, Norris!

All in all, we are lucky to be able to stay mostly local.

My motto: Small is beautiful, and Think Locally, Act Locally. Supporting our neighbors keeps our commerce locally centered, sustaining (and growing) the health of our community.

This said, there is a Wal-Mart in town, as well as a Dollar General and DollarTree stores, so for those of my neighbors who prefer their items from these venues (and their lower prices) they can be accommodated.
This ownership of color is just ridiculous.

By that logic, Google is literally using the Fuchsia color #FF00FF for Fuchsia OS which is literally classed a Magenta as the web color!

> Euros probably called it randonnee

I guess you already know it, but in case you don't, shining a bit of light on ignorance never hurts: We have 24 official languages in Europe, in reality more than 200 distinct ones.

Randonee, or most probably 'ski randonee' is french term for ski touring and its variants (randonee itself means rather hiking). No other language here uses this term, we have our own phrases for this beautiful, but sometimes dangerous activity. Other variant would be 'ski alpinism', but that's for more hardcore technical stuff (crampons, ice axes, harness, ropes, skis on the backpack type of experiences in very steep places)
My apartment building does not have, and by my best guess, will never have car chargers in its parking garage.

And I'm lucky enough to have a parking garage. At least ~70% of the people living in my area park on the street, where there are... Also no chargers.

Unfortunately they have to do this if they don’t want to lose the trademark. You can’t trademark something if it’s deemed to be of common use. Of course if your trademark is a color then this can be quite difficult.
These stores have massive invisible subsidies in the form of tax breaks and infrastructure built to support them. That's a huge factor in how they're able to undercut local shops. The city is really footing the bill.

A local butcher shop takes up a tiny amount of area, and therefore a tiny amount of infrastructure. It pays way more in taxes than Wal-Mart, compared to the amount it costs the city to support.

This is a central part of the strong towns message, about why our towns and cities are all going broke: https://youtu.be/K0AZXUWr_Rg?t=3723

This line of argument is utterly insane. As a reductio ad absurdum: Inasmuch as the intent of war is effecting political change (as Clausewitz put it, "the continuation of politics by other means"), your argument applies just as well. By your logic, antiwar activists would be nothing more than status quo fans who want to be comfortable. This would obviously be ludicrous: it's possible to object to the means of war without comment on whether its claimed aims are worthwhile.

Being "sick of politics" in this case easily describes many people I know, people who have been far more serious about the issues you raise for far longer than many of the loudest advocates today are. The aversion isn't to change per se, but to methods that have become fashionable that are seen as both counterproductive to their aims and detrimental to civic society.
People who believe it give a shit. Same with any economic/political/social framework where there is no way to do "hard" science. Marxist economic frameworks are no different from the alternative economic frameworks our own leaders use to make decisions.

Regardless, there are plenty of predictions that Marx/Marxists made over a hundred years ago that have stood up under scrutiny (and plenty others that haven't), there's a reason the economist is printing articles like this:

https://www.economist.com/britain/2017/05/11/labour-is-right...

I personally don't believe economics is a "hard science", but I still see the value in exploring the ideas and judging different theories on their own merit, even if we can't do double-blind studies to "prove" anything.
Security Newsletter – Shutting Down
the .doc format changed incompatibly with every release

Pre-XML the .doc format was just the in-memory representation of the document serialised to disk and loading it was the converse. Conceptually you could imagine it like mmap(). It was different between versions because the code was different, not by any deliberate effort.
I can think of recently-constructed DGs that are in the middle of nowhere, but I can also think of a few that are like a block from an existing grocery store. I think DG development are more concerned with seeking high traffic (at least relative to the local area) than with low density. They're never going to be in a "good" location, but usually their "bad" locations are right on a busy highway.
Oh yeah and it teaches you how to repair your gear which is ultra-critical in the backcountry ;)
Worth reading just for the colorful puns.
But has anything changed?

60 years ago, you wouldn't have been able to get bananas in entire regions (this is easily evidenced by how quickly organic bananas go bad), much less avocados within a 20 minute drive.

Even 30 years ago, the selection of fresh fruits and veggies was much more limited. It's a big reason for juices by concentrate, dried, and canned goods.

There are certainly still local (farmers stands and pick your own (apples, strawberries, tomatoes) in much of the agricultural southeast, and true farmers markets - but would you know about them unless you drive by some country road, or know somebody that runs a farm.
Definitely true, but this article feels a bit like saying "heroin addiction is unhealthy, so we need to offer addicts jogging paths and art galleries because those are healthier".

Excluding brief mentions of business consolidation and state tax credits, there's almost no engagement with why the problem got started or what will be different the second time around. If we want to look at why the heroin addict got started, that would probably involve aging rural populations, rural young adults leaving for cities, lower rural labor force participation, and higher marginal costs in remote areas. Community markets don't reverse any of those patterns except maybe young adults moving away, and co-op ownership doesn't escape the fundamental question of whether rural grocery stories can cover costs at competitive prices. Reopening a grocery store is an early step towards renewal, but it's framed like the main challenge.
Initial technology stack for building a SaaS
Hello Hacker news , today I would like to explain which is the initial tech stack that we have selected to build www.teami.io.

We are using:

Reactjs
Redux
Draft.js
Firebase
Semantic UI
Styled components

Why are we using React + Firebase?

The main reason to use React over Angular and Vue is that the founders already knew React and it will be faster to develop it, also React has a huge community where you can ask for help or advice.

With React also we can keep more understandable for future developers (React is a bit stricter, more readable and in the end, it's just plain Js and JSX) and when we need to find new developers to join the team it won't be a problem if we use React.

Why Firebase? Mainly because of speed, We can have a backend really fast and start to try the product with users. Firebase handles things like your database, authentication, and hosting and also it has a generous free tier.

With Firebase you can build awesome products and faster than building your own backend. In the future if the company needs it and you can't scale the product it might be worth moving on from Firebase, but at the beginning building the right product is the most important for us, and with firebase, we can do it faster.

What are your opinions on using Firebase to build a SaaS?
The author correctly states that BFT algorithms are meant to handle arbitrary failures, but then explains how that is the wrong choice because one shouldn't handle malicious actors at the consensus level. Yet there are categories of faults that cannot be handled by basic FT systems, that BFT systems can handle, and are not due to malice. So all in all, BFT is the right choice.
No offense, but what hypothetical car are you buying for $5K that will last another 100K miles?

You can get used Nissan Leaf's in the price-range you're wanting. In Spokane tho I guess...

At their core these systems are basically specialized column stores, they have complete different read/write patterns to something like ES. The basic query unit for example is always going to be the scan, I'm not even aware of any monitoring system with some kind of secondary index capability. ES supports a bunch of nice result aggregation stuff on top of Lucene, whereas these systems are primarily /built for/ this use case

There is a lot of blame for Walmart, but let's not forget the car culture that has everyone leaving their town every day and commuting instead of living and working in a community.
I don't know if the authors mention it, but it seems like you could combine this with the vishing attack (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21306612) by using silent light commands to get a malicious app installed.

Fun stuff...
For the latter here is a working VM/layer partially based on Wine:

https://github.com/otya128/winevdm

It can be installed systemwide to get almost seamless support for 16bit Windows apps.
What real choice did consumers have?

Walmart came in and drastically slashed prices on groceries because they had the size, money and infrastructure to cheaply move goods around. This was intentional behavior to kill local grocery stores and it worked, because consumers in these areas tend to be poorer and will shop at places that save them the most money. This is intentional behavior abused by Walmart to intentionally push out competition.

Local grocery stores can't compete because they literally cannot drop prices without going bankrupt. So they end up dying, leaving Walmart as the de-facto local Monopoly.

And then when Walmart decided to pack its bags, the town is devastated because they relied on it for everything [1]. At the very least educate yourself a bit on the way Walmart operates.

The ML transcription services work for giving you the gist of what's been said if the recording is of decent quality. I should probably consider doing the same thing. If it's a recording that I want to be "perfect" (e.g. a posted podcast transcription), I still use human transcription; cleaning up the machine transcription isn't worth my time. But if the transcription is mostly to jog your own memory it's probably fine and much cheaper.
No, that's not the point that I'm making.

The point that I am making is that platitudes about 'The people asked for it, now they got it, therefore we have optimized overall good' are poor arguments. Satisfying wants don't always result in locally, or globally optimal outcomes.
