What are you looking for in a security system? We run both system-in-a-box sets of closed circuit cameras as well as fully controlled webcams. Are you looking for some UI or auto-alarming aspect? (e.g. face detection? threat detection?)
Drama? What about the epidemic suicides and drug overdoses happening in this country? What about the absolute destruction of rural communities by monopolies emboldened by the lack of antitrust enforcement? The people of this country are being abused in so many ways and nothing is being done for them. Laws aren't going to help this situation, it's our stinking attitude that's the problem. It's our complete disregard for human life that's the problem.

I get that these devices do some useful things, but I can't really think of anything they do that can't also be done with a cell phone and a laptop and without letting contractors listen to you having sex.
I'm making that claim on a personal basis. I've never had a device stolen and I know of exactly one such incident with a person I know. I just don't consider it a problem that trumps right to repair and if you do, I hope apple starts potting their devices in epoxy.
That does not engender confidence when choosing products. I would be wary of them letting products either wither or just milk their momentum for as long as they can.
It's a bit of a strawman to take arguments of the general form "we should enact policies to reduce inequality" and implicitly restate them as "we should enact policies that force perfect equality," then argue against that restatement, don't you think?
Ads are terrible regardless of whether they are “nice, inoffensive privacy protecting ads” or “unethical spyware web ad network ads”.

This is a great tool and saves people their only truly nonrenewable resource: time.

Thank you for making it; if I listened to any of these podcasts I would be using it.

Always block everyone’s ads.
Yeah, but ads on the web have lots of issues like tracking and malicious code injection, so blocking them makes total sense.

A lot fewer people would be using ad blockers in browsers if web ads were as simple as podcast ads (the equivalent would be unobtrusive static images with links) .
Unsplash is a great alternative.

Getters make sense for mutable objects.

In a lot of cases, immutable objects are superior: simpler to reason about, have less code, and cost as much as mutable objects.

I don't believe GP was making a point about ethics, but rather one of economics. In general it's not smart to advertise this to people if you want to keep your podcasts free for as long as possible.
I use the Synology DS218+ along with two 4TB WD Red drives (which I got off craigslist for a steep discount -- the seller even let me run diagnostics on them for me and they were very lightly used).

I don't have to pay for the software. If you stick with the Synology OS it comes with they have a package manager with things like various media servers, Cloud Station, a download client, etc. You can also just shell into it and install your own stuff.

You can get NAS disk stations with more capacity (more drive bays), but this was all I needed.
I think it's funny the outrage over ad skipping podcasts, but keeping browser ad-blockers installed is ok. I mean there is only so many times I can hear the same casper, generic vpn, eero, ad and not want to pull my hair out. Especially when the podcast boasts about how they use the product and how it's not like anything they've ever tried before.

Replacing a commonly used package like this likely wouldn't be without accidental compatibility breakage (in some edge cases), and as such I appreciate it not silently becoming the new default and potentially breaking software or corrupting data. This is especially true as JSON-the-standard (RFC7159) is horribly underspecified and as such it's difficult to even use some sort of acceptance suite to declare a replacement as suitable.

Go's standard encoding/json isn't great (for many reasons...), but it's definitely in the Good Enough category, and as such IMO falls under "if it ain't broken don't fix it" umbrella.

Getty is the epitome of the evil corporation. They threatened a number of my customers (who all won against Getty via lawyers) for putting photos on their sites with dubious ownership rights.

I have experience with copyright law (unpleasantly) and there is a process required by the law to actually win a settlement on copyright infringement, and Getty uses thug tactics and threats to get small parties to pay up.

Their empire deserves to crumble.

I was not talking about specific cases / abuses. I was talking about policy.

ICE patrolled the border. ICE stopped people illegally crossing the border. ICE jailed people suspected of crossing the border. ICE separated children. Nothing has changed in that regards.

The other issue is that the posts don't say if things are actually getting better. For example the first claim is "The Intercept published a report by the DHS Office of Inspector General revealing that 1,224 sexual abuse complaints while in immigration custody were filed between January 2010 and June 2017." We need to see the rates before 2010 or we need to see the rate for each year. Based on what that person posted we cannot draw any conclusions if things are actually improving or not. If things are improving then people shouldn't really be boycotting.
Seems like ad skipping players should identify exactly as non-ad skipping players, then.

If you are a unix user and/or reasonably technical, I think rsync.net would be the best choice.

You get an empty ZFS filesystem, possibly with snapshots enabled, that you can do whatever you like with (provided "whatever you like" is something that runs over SSH...).

Pointing borg/rclone/restic/git-annex/etc. to rsync.net works exactly the way you'd think it would.
No need to guess. In most of these online IDEs you can probably explore and easily see for yourself. e.g. repl.it -> Emacs lisp -> M-x shell -> ps ax shows docker-init

I'll let Google explain what's wrong with AMP[1]:

> What's in a URL? On the web, a lot - URLs and origins represent, to some extent, trust and ownership of content. When you're reading a New York Times article, a quick glimpse at the URL gives you a level of trust that what you're reading represents the voice of the New York Times. Attribution, brand, and ownership are clear.

> the recent launch of AMP in Google Search [has] blurred this line

> Google AMP Viewer URL: The document displayed in an AMP viewer (e.g., when rendered on the search result page). https://www.google.com/amp/www.example.com/amp.doc.html

Google has inserted itself in the URL. Copy and paste that, submit it to reddit or Hacker News, or just read it to a friend, and what do you get? A connection to Google.

Yeah. I'm glad they haven't taken off much. I love how open the podcast system is. I'd absolutely hate for it to be ruined.
What is your role here? Are you a manager looking to extend his team? Or someone from HR? Or a developer looking for a partner? Do you have your own office? It would help to clarify these matters, because tips may vary.

For instance if you work closely with people, then you definitely get a feeling for their productivity. If you’re not technical, you don’t have access to the source code repository. If you don’t have your own office, you can’t check people coming in on camera. That sort of stuff.
You are subsidizing the thousand other photos that didn't sell with that one purchase. Of course photographers would love to only take pictures that sell, but it's impossible to tell ahead of time which one of the thousand will be the hit.
Google didn't have a business model when they started but they were sure they were building something useful. I don't know much about fashion and I don't know if what they have is truly useful, but I respect them a lot and will see if I have contacts I could introduce them to.
I hadn't realized the content was actually signed; I assumed we were simply trusting Google to send us the content they said they were sending (much like we do when using the Google cache).
I'm curious now: would it be possible to use use the content/markup intended for use by the amp cache to view a static/unscripted/readable version of the page's main content? If so, why hasn't anyone built a browser extension to do so?

On a broader note, this also sounds like it could be used to allow caching proxies to work with https; you'd lose the privacy, but you'd gain from being able to cache content on local network if the browser only had to verify the content, and you trusted the cache not to spy on you.
They are not the same people. There is a group that consistently believes money should play a role in politics and a group that does not. If you eliminate political ads, you annoy the former.

Agreed.

Wouldn't want the camera in my home, or pointed at me whilst I work - but I'm OK with "me walking by"

Basically, I've accepted the neighbour is already allowed to see me as I walk by - this is just improving the efficiency of surveillance, not changing it.
I wouldn't have objected if they'd decided they wanted to start an old-school "twitching curtains" neighbourhood watch scheme - I might not have joined, but I wouldn't be feeling violates.

Meh, I'll keep blocking ads everywhere I go and ignoring them otherwise. If they can't be ignored, I just don't consume the content.

Skipping a portion is equal to redacting the part of a landscape image with a billboard in it.

Furthermore, the digital medium is inherently copyable and malleable. If you want to distribute content via this medium, you need to accept that. Sure, make it harder if you please.
That's why bubbles pop I guess.
Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s with Trinitron TVs and Walkmans, seeing the SONY logo even to this date evokes a deep sense of trust, brand loyalty and pleasure in using their products. I think there is tons to learn from companies like SONY, Braun, Apple, IBM (old IBM that is). They innovated relentlessly, put excellence in design as part of the ethos, understood UX/UI, and deeply cared about the customer experience. Trinitron TVs were part of my childhood, a window into the world of imagination...in color :)
Is it really a memory hog? I'm using IDEA, PHPStorm's more fully featured Java IDE (That also loads PHP code!) ; I have 6 projects open right now, including a PHP project, some java projects, some ruby, groovy, etc; I have 20 files open, numerous plugins enabled, and all sorts of connections to databases and tests; it's been running for days it's using 500MB.

Both PHPStorm and IDEA are written in Java (they share a common code base). Don't confuse [Java eagerly allocating memory from the operating system but then not using it for anything (yet)] with java using a lot of memory. For speed, java allocates memory it anticipates using in the future. This lets it manage it's own memory without involving the operating system and thus context switches. If you start using a lot of other applications and available system memory starts running low; java will detect this and relinquish the pre-allocated memory it's not using.
Try Firefox reader mode (Chrome reader addon may also work, I did not test it.)
I agree with you, we need developers that take resposibility for their publications, review and test their codebase and all it’s dependencies, proper identification of ”real” published code (integrity check) and also the opt-in to place trust in different maintainers.
Or they find alternative revenue streams such as:

a.) Patronage/donation model
b.) Paywalls
c.) Integrated the advertising into the program rather than making it a separate ad read
Ditto. Podccast ads are pretty much ideal: non-tracking, generally non-intrusive, relevant to the audience, and in some cases quite entertaining (see: Reply All). Podcasters need to be able to keep the lights on, and the ads they run are about as consumer-friendly as they get.

I'm not actually against paid-for podcasts, but hiving it off into a separate app does not appeal.
> but keeping browser ad-blockers installed is ok.

That's because web ads track you, can inject malicious code, and are obtrusive.

As I said elsewhere in the thread, a lot fewer people would be using ad blockers in browsers if web ads were as simple as podcast ads (the equivalent would be unobtrusive static images with links).
Randomness is a very popular (and good) answer to skill gaps, but it's also a dangerous knob for game designers to turn.

I quite enjoyed the early days of Hearthstone, including the random factors in who won. But successive releases kept adding more randomness, and specifically uncontrollable randomness, until I quit the game. (It may have improved, and this didn't make it a bad game. It just wasn't for me anymore.)

Most people recognize that War is a bad game, because it's entirely random and has no element of choice. But a game like Mario Party is full of choice, and yet the random payouts are so large that skill is often irrelevant. Even near-perfect play can be dominated by random factors, and those random elements (specifically, bonus stars) aren't numerous enough to average out over the course of a game. That's what broke me on Hearthstone: the feeling that the randomness that was too scarce to average out over one session, too potent to avoid or overcome, and too unconstrained to strategize around.

At the far end of that spectrum, a game like poker consists almost entirely of strategizing around randomness, because the random factors are common enough to view statistically and only indirectly produce winners. And so the better poker player will win pretty consistently, and having fun across skill gaps starts to become difficult again. (Hence the popularity of moderate-randomness card games Euchre for social play.)

Randomness is often a good addition to games, especially in combination with hidden information. Not only does it make play across skill gaps worthwhile, it makes them more replayable. But there's a lot to be said for adding it carefully, in places where players can exert some measure of control.
That article states they outperformed when measured over a 10, 15, 20, and 25 year period and underperformed over a 5 year period. (See the table. The longer periods include the more recent periods meaning they had strong outperformance early that more than made up for the recent under.)

Is that evidence that they’re dramatically underperforming? It seems the story is mixed and you could argue either way depending on whether you think the last 5 years are more important than the prior 20 or not. (It might be, if you argue that something fundamental changed. That would fall into the “this time it’s different” which is generally falsified eventually.)
It depends on what granularity we are talking about, but Google can figure out your location only by using the IP. Check the bottom of the page on your next google search results (without being logged into any account), it will show you where Google thinks your device is. It guessed without sending any GPS location or wifi metadata.
Ask HN: What are instances of “reinventing the wheel” you've had or seen?
It is your right to choose. Devil's advocate question: would you feel the same if I followed you around your neighborhood filming you with my phone? These networks will become live video monitoring by the police and government because we need to stop "terrorists and pedophiles". How do you feel about 24/7 video surveillance being run by the government in all public spaces? This all feels too 1984 to me.

To be clear, I'm not against IoT devices but at least my Echo only listens to the sounds in the bathroom. That only affects me not everyone in my neighborhood. Video doorbells don't seem worth the loss in privacy just to get a packaged protected that Amazon will replace for free anyway.
Ripe is searching for a new managing director / CEO
This sounds a lot like the Amazonian medicine Kambo, which is tree frog poison. The practitioner burns a small hole on the top layer of the recipient's skin, rubs off the burnt layer, and applies a drop of frog poison mixed with the saliva. The poison almost immediately causes an extreme lymphatic reaction that is thought to clear toxins from the body. Kambo is called the vaccine of the Amazon.

The bee sting mechanism seems much the same. Poisoning the body in order to stimulate the immune system.
Fortunately, the paper calculates pulse power:

>The median pulse energy is 10 μJ at 905 eV and 25μJ at 570 eV. However, due to the intrinsic fluctuations of SASE XFELs we observe pulses well above the mean value (up to 250μJ for 570 eV, corresponding to a peak power in the hundreds of gigawatts).

The only power consumption number in the paper is an aside that notes the magnetic chicane in the electron beamline is spiked at 10 kiloamps. (At how many volts? How much power does the rest of the laser consume?) Free-electron lasers are many things, but efficient isn't one of them.

I think some ads are sponsored links / promo codes. I am not sure in that situation if they get paid for reading the ad or only get commission from the sales.
> Why so many people (especially the ones that understand technology) seem to be ok with this?

Ignorance and convenience. Most people I know who own one and are aware of the privacy issues choose to ignore them because they're easy to install and just work. Then there are people who don't know or don't care (ignorant).
Do you also find trolley problem non-lever-pullers to be murderers?
>It seems awfully convenient that Apple is the only entity that can still obtain the user's location

Except there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that this is the case. All that is established is that if the user has explicitly opted in to the global location services option, then the device (system) does indeed periodically access location data. No one is alleging that any information is available to or shared with Apple outside of the established methods documented in the privacy policy.
