Did you even read the article you linked to?

> What is the work we’re doing with Ascension? Back in July, on our Q2 earnings call, we announced “Google Cloud’s AI and ML solutions are helping healthcare organizations like Ascension improve the healthcare experience and outcomes.

"AI and ML solutions" sounds like a lot more than just data storage.

They have complete access to the entire database of names, addresses, medical history, etc. and are playing with it to develop products to later sell to other healthcare providers. Without the knowledge or consent of the patients.

Also in that article:

> under this arrangement, Ascension’s data cannot be used for any other purpose than for providing these services we’re offering under the agreement, and patient data cannot and will not be combined with any Google consumer data.

If I had a nickel for every time a tech giant outright lied about how they handle data, I'd be able to afford SV rent.
Disney+ is available on Roku.
Linux chipkill ECC support is a crapshoot. Intel redesigned it all for Skylake and later CPUs and Linux still hasn't caught up with the changes. Some of it mostly works on pre-Skylake, but often doesn't. I've seen Linux killing processes that have a bad physical page mapped, but the process just gets killed in a loop because the kernel is too stupid to actually take the page offline.
This is super confusing because in the US lawyers are members of the bar, but are not refered to as barristers. As an American I've only ever heard the term "disbarment"; never "struck off".

It's great to have GraalVM CUDA support, but LLVM PTX output of many languages is full of bugs and missing features. I wish NVIDIA would give more support to those integrations that already exist, but experimental for many years now (i.e. Julia, Rust).

Pardon the inconvenience, but I think I'm not going to let you smoothly glide away from your prior comment:

>>> Thinking negatively of other countries is not necessary

>> Judging the same facts differently depending on the flag they exist under is necessary for what is under discussion here.

> Can you give an example where I do and must judge facts differently depending on the flag they exist under?

I would like an answer to this question, rather than just yet another pivot to the construction of a negative theoretical character, and then putting a Nationalist label on the character based on one person's opinion.

> By 'nationalism' I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labelled 'good' or 'bad'.

This is a figment of Mr. Orwell's imagination. He literally just made it up. This has nothing to do with Nationalism, it is nothing more than a low-intelligence slur. Ironically, it is an example of the very kind of thinking he believes he is criticizing, and this HN thread is chock full of the same sort of irony. Group-based stereotyping isn't only bad when the grouping is according to race.

> I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognising no other duty than that of advancing its interests.

Yet another figment of Mr. Orwell's imagination. He is describing extreme Nationalist Extremism, not Nationalism.

> Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism.

Indeed. I am a Nationalist, but hardly patriotic.

> Both words are normally used in so vague a way that any definition is liable to be challenged, but one must draw a distinction between them, since two different and even opposing ideas are involved.

Yes, but one should also be careful to keep one's imagination under control when doing so, and stick to facts and dictionary definitions, rather than literally making things up. One who is an influential intellectual should be even more careful, lest they turn their followers into propagators of illogical hate, something we see plenty of in this thread, and every time the topic comes up.

This thread is full of people behaving as if Nationalist must hate others - I am merely asking all that do so to back up these claims with evidence and (mainly) logical reasoning. No one can do so, and more interestingly, no one seems to notice they cannot do so, or that it is they that are spreading a message of hate. The irony is delicious.

I have to agree with sterileopinions here. The fact that it's been done multiple times before means you know a lot about how hard it will be, the necessary resources, and can learn from past mistakes.

That doesn't make it easy. But it definitely makes it easier. To say otherwise is to argue that experience isn't useful.
I haven't experienced that when dealing with any major US airline/hotel/car rental brand. They all have their own websites.

If not, I can usually email the merchant and work something out that avoids them paying a middleman. With one merchant in a developing country, I even hashed it out over WhatsApp! But I always like to communicate directly with the person or organization providing me the product or service.
> This is by far the most compelling pitch I have heard Yelp give for itself: “The big companies are full of spam and misinformation, while we take the time to get reviews right.” It is hard not wonder just how much more popular Yelp’s product might be if this message were spread as stridently as its anti-Google arguments.

Probably because the blowback would be louder than the message. The heresay I've heard is that they hide the good reviews if you don't pay them, and hide the bad reviews if you do.

Hulu is primarily owned by Comcast (afaik Disney only has a minority stake). After Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox last year, Comcast and Disney own the vast majority of what people consider AAA entertainment content.

Assuming Disney+ finds its footing, the stage is set for a Hulu/Disney+ duopoly. Comcast and Disney will starve Netflix, Amazon, et al for popular content, while simultaneously bleeding them on exorbitant license fees for the minimal selection they'll be willing to offer.

Instead of switching between Netflix and Amazon Video, most consumers will switch between Hulu for Comcast-owned content (Universal, NBC, others) and Disney+ for Disney-owned content (Disney, ABC, Fox, Pixar, and many more). Netflix subscriptions will lapse accordingly.

Meet the new boss -- same as the old boss. About the only way this is better for the consumer than the old-school cable setup is that municipalities won't be signing exclusive contracts with cable cos barring any competition for decades-long periods of time.

That’s not the kind of thinking that really works for a brand with such massive consumer trust as Disney. You’re talking about a brand worth $100-200 billion, you don’t just “Take an L.”

Yes, there are people--not many people, but some, on both sides of the political aisle--who will knee-jerk repost anything that sounds like it might make their opponents look bad. Most of the time, I hope, it's because they skimmed the headline and got emotional before reading the details or thinking critically. But it undeniably happens.
Lynx is no more dead now than it ever was since the advent of graphical browsers. I use it frequently in the sdf.org shell as a file manager and to proof the accessibility of my own web products. It is also informative to use on "popular" sites to confirm just how little textual content they actually contain...
Yev here -> there's no minimum for our Groups feature (which Business Backup runs on) - so you can have Groups with 1 or 2 people in them, no minimum of 5.
The main cost for Netflix is content, not engineering. They spend billions developing new shows. Disney has tons of existing material they can just monetize, so huge advantage there.
I can't be the only one thinking that:

1. it's possible the author double checks the content each year and redates so that visitors know it still applies

2. the author updates the article to be current and redates it

It's a little weird to say this is "blogwashing". It's pretty common (for me at least) to check the date of an article when it's a tutorial so I know if it's current or not. And I've seen this happen before where authors append a "changelog" to the article at the end so you know that it's up to date.
Yeah I don't play the lottery, but I could justify buying a single lottery ticket despite understanding how horrific the odds are.

Since you'll almost certainly lose, I think the true value is in the fantasy of what you would do with a staggering amount of money. You could do this without buying a ticket, of course, but it feels more real when you have some skin in the game. Mathematically, your odds are still effectively zero, but mentally there's a big difference between effectively zero and actual zero.

Thinking of other consumables in that general price range that provide a short, quick fix of enjoyment (cup of coffee, snack, etc.), $1 for a slightly more vivid dream isn't so crazy to me.

Having said all this, I highly doubt it's the mentality of most lottery players.
It's also due to feeling fuller. Eating a diet rich in fat rather than carbs leaves you feeling full with less calories.
> The solution, I’ll say again, is a law that prohibits nonofficial communications from appearing to be official — with hefty fines for crossing the line.

Jail time. Fines means that the law is simply another part of the business's cost calculations. If the fine is low enough, and it often is, then it can still be "good business" to knowingly break the law, pay the fine, and still pull a profit.

Putting actual law-breaking humans in jail changes the cost-benefit analysis dramatically.
How did you conclude this wasn't just water weight? Weight loss like that is almost always water weight.

A pound of fat is about 3500 calories. To lose 10 lbs of fat in 2 weeks, you would need a deficit of 2500 calories per day in order for that loss to be purely fat. Unless you are training for the Olympics, that doesn't seem likely.
If you rip them apart they are the same as their laptop drives with dragster. Same with WD, I ripped out a green drive. Users in forums have recommended buying certain external drives and ripping them apart to save money. Certain high capacity WD red drives cost less when they were bundled into an “NAS” enclosure.

The gitlab wiki has some amazing content on it. Thanks for making it public.
You know you're screwing up UX when just pulling an 8 or 9 year old copy out of the repo, making it pass tests, then deploying, would result in an immediate, massive improvement.

Though as other commenters note, making the interface nicer for the user is, apparently, contrary to their interests, or they'd stop doing the exact opposite so much.

> keep more of the cut that YT is currently taking now.

Keep more of what cut? AFAICT, YouTube creators make money from two primary sources: YouTube ads and Patreon. The latter is independent of YouTube (i.e. YouTube doesn't get a cut). The former seems very closely tied to YouTube. How would an independent creator even go about sourcing ads to show on their independent site? Do they want to put in the effort? Would they really have enough leverage to get paid substantially more than their cut of YouTube's ads?
I was also noticing that - it almost seemed like an intentional plug. If anyone has experience with it I would love to hear about it!

I love Lynx, because it cannot do Javascript, CSS, and videos. It is the last frontier in a Web that becomes more and more focused on appearance and less and less on content.

Some sites somehow manage to make the content wider than the screen or set foreground and background colors with bad contrast, even with style sheets and JS turned off. Lynx is the only rescue in such cases. If it really should die some day, I will keep maintaining it.

> I think also forcing them to link out to either the direct form or at least some page explaining how to submit the form directly to the government would also be a good idea

While I agree, I also kind of expect that if you did this they would find the most difficult possible way to submit the form directly to the government that would still work (e.g. "to renew your car registration without using our quick and easy service, call the California DMV at [number] and request form REG 343. Fill in the form with your, vehicle identification number, make, model, year, and [87 more fields]. Fax the form to [fax number] or make an in-person appointment with the DMV").

>specifically since modules don't share their wasm Memory. That means data will be constantly copied between them.

It is possible today to have modules import memory from the host, which means the host can provide the same imported memory to multiple modules. Then modules can pass pointers to each other without needing any memcpys.

It does require the modules to not tread on each other though, such as by requiring them to have distinct static offsets (poor man's linking), or by requiring them to be PIC / compiled with relocation info so that they can be relinked by the host loader.

It doesn't seem to me from reading TFA that this is going away, merely that there are planning to add alternatives to make it more fine-grained.

Yev here -> Yes, that's basically the trade-off for us. Is the drive available and reliable vs. how much does it cost. One of the reasons we have so many Seagate drives is because they are available in abundance, are affordable for us, and have failure rates in-line with the other drives that we're testing.

I love Snopes, but this is one of the worst expositions I've ever seen because it assumes that the reader is already familiar with the situation. The first sentence is:

Who is "they"? Appeal of what? There isn't even a link to any background material so that someone who wants to come up to speed can. If you're not already in the know, you're out of luck. This is absolutely shocking for a site whose entire raison d'etre is to combat misinformation.

It pains me to say this, but if this is what Snopes has come to I have to wonder if they still deserve suppport.

I don't buy in bulk or anything like that but the Toshiba seems to be reliably 5-10% more expensive than the same WD models on the french IT stores I use, mostly because WD and Seagate always have special offers on one of their drive or the other.

I suspect when buying in bulk like BB does the difference becomes even larger ? Also they seem to build so as not to care of the reliability of any drive (as long as it stays within acceptable range), so a gain that may seem massive for us low scale user may not be of much impact to them compared to the cost benefit.
In my previous company, we did TreasureData->Tableau.

TreasureData is a platform like Segment and lets you bring your customer event data as well as data from SaaS tools (like Salesforce, Zendesk) into a data warehouse hosted by TreasureData. It worked great but had the downside that all the data was in TreasureData and we were kind of locked into it. Segment kind of solves that problem because it has connectors to Redshift/Snowflake etc so you can keep ownership of your data warehouse but the warehouse sync delay (in our version) was a problem.

Also, BI was just one of the use cases. We wanted to send the data to 3rd party tools (like Facebook ads) based on some logic (some were simple rules but we had complex ML driven lead scoring models too). TreasureData was more flexible on being able to run those rules and activate the results but ideally we wanted to run them on top of our own warehouse in AWS.

Would you please elaborate what are the issues with Apple? From my limited perspective, they indeed focus on high margin products, and deliver them with a decent quality. I use a mid 2015 Macbook and an old iPhone 6S. Pretty reliable, both as hardware and as software. Given the 4+ years of continuous usage, they aren't even that expensive.

> Most of reddit is self-aggrandizing cliques who believe they are much smarter than they really are -- especially in the cryptocurrency space.

I highly encourage you to visit r/Monero. Those devs are the first to say it isn't perfect. They've never promised the moon or hype themselves. They acknowledge that people's lives could balance on whether or not their finacial transactions are private, so they don't overpromise and always continue to look for ways to improve.

It seems like you have an agenda and a viewpoint that doesn't line up with reality.

(And a lot of people seem to criticize Monero because it's not anonymous (which is not the goal), so that's why I say it isn't perfect. And of course there will always be an attack vector for everything: people could track serial numbers of physical cash, the NSA could track every keystroke/tap on every device, etc, but realistically it's very good and getting better about blockchain analysis attacks.)
