If the same phone is listening constantly to me incase I use voice commands, what privacy am I losing by having a nest do the same thing, but only when I'm home?

Wow, downvoted for asking a question.

I wanted to understand more about the situation itself, but the writer's obsession with the NYT (to the exclusion of every other news outlet that is not covering this situation) was weird. I was curious why the NYT, above all others, is so important in this.
> I will also take a moment to rant about the fact that YouTube allows you to select from a bevy of lower resolutions, but doesn’t allow you to select a lower frame rate. Many times I would rather watch a 1080p30 video on slower hardware instead of the 720p60 I am forced into selecting.

I've thought about this too. I'm not certain, but I suspect this has to do with streaming video compression, specifically the fact that most video compression schemes I know of are temporal (i.e. they can eliminate the need to transmit a lot of data based on unchanged or productively changing pixels between consecutive frames). With a lower frame rate, the probability that pixels in consecutive frames being related decreases. That's my guess anyway.
Okay, so if I turn off iCloud Drive syncing—because, for instance, the free iCloud Drive storage space is a pitiful 5GB—why can't I also turn off these special permissions?

(You can add individual apps to full disk access but it needs to be done manually for every new app you install.)
Your numbers confirm rather than refute parent's hypothesis. Prostitutes sell what men want more cheaply than other women sell it. Some other women disapprove. Some portion of those other women are feminists.

I'm black (African, to be precise). I'm describing my experience in several places in Germany (where I live), Prague, and Amsterdam. I trade nods (of acknowledgement) with them and sometimes stop to speak with the Africans who speak my type of pidgin English.

Sure, but this is misplaced skepticism. There have been many studies attesting to the harms of PM 2.5 and the benefits of intervention. The onus isn't on a single consumer to set up a double blind, randomized test for himself, the onus is on you to simply google for the many that have been already done.

Or a 2-in-1 device with a touchscreen and a pen (e.g. Surface).

The non-graphical tablets with pens are really a different type of interaction, and one that supersedes keyboard + mouse for light graphics. Using one hand with the pen for pointer input + another hand for touch input is really powerful. Moving around, zooming, or rotating things on the screen is easier done with a hand. And a wheel menu (context or otherwise) really starts to shine with a pen.

I wish more software actually supported this. I currently own such a device (a Dell), and I'm searching for software that can utilize touch+pen input to full extent, but there aren't many programs that can.
My point exactly, it needs to be in direct competition.
I love reading about how companies create technology that meets their own special needs, whether that be scaling, special business problems, etc. I would like to see more languages supported by Tencent’s RPC framework (Common Lisp :-) ) but they are covering their own needs.

One quote in the article “Industrial fragmentation and decoupling of technology will harm the long-term interests of mankind.” affected me because for a long time I believed in individual effort, the efficacy of small teams, etc. Now I think as much about society as technology, where we are headed, and what does the most good for the most people. I see massive loss of privacy freedoms but I also see the need for getting every bit of productivity from all resources: human and environmental. I have a rosy and optimistic view for the future, but it will involve what I expect to be radical changes in societies, increasing power of elites in general and tech companies in particular. Huge companies sharing technology and affecting standards is one way to squeeze maximum efficiency out of the systems that support the world’s population.

> It has also been reported that 12,5 % of men used to solicit prostitutes before the implementation of the law in 1999 whereas in 2014 only 7,7 % of men purchased sexual services.[5]

As the top comment said, this was never about actually decreasing prostitution, but about victimizing and outcasting women.
Nah, they're both like keyboards. Playing piano is like typing. Changing octave with a "meta" key is like using Meta (Alt) on your keyboard.
Even so, liquidations are on the up in the Netherlands, and they are almost always drug-mob related. There's not enough money to patrol the south-Dutch countryside for illegal production and disposal, which is turning into the number one environmental issue the country has (apart from climate-related problems). The Police of Amsterdam had to shutter their major crimes unit for lack of funding, Dutch Police has some of the worst solving rates in Europe anyway, liquidations are predominantly in this city and are spilling over into non-criminal life, lawyers are being killed in the streets, are recusing themselves every day.

Thing may not be as violent as in Britain, but the country is on course for it, mainly due to drug related criminal activity. Some newspapers, even the justice minister recently, theorize that the lack of experience of Police in dealing with major crime is just not well developed in general, which together with a generally relaxed attitude and a central and well connected location in Europe (port of Rotterdam, airport of Amsterdam) make the country an ideal place to conduct such drug-business in relative quiet.

I would assume that trackers always do what's in their best interest. Your claim that fingerprinting is both just a fallback and probably worse for the user thus does not add up to me. Wouldn't they always use fingerprinting if that is more powerful?

And what will their (business and thus vital) interest in doing this probably be? Probably not what's in my, the user's interest. But what's in their customers' interest - advertisers.

However GP didn't say "all feminists", only "feminists".

If I say "Germans eat bread for breakfast" that's generally understood to mean "In general Germans eat bread for breakfast" or "A majority of Germans eat bread for breakfast". Treating it as if I said "Every German eats bread for every breakfast" would be constructing a straw man. People generally understand that there is variation in every group, even if they don't explicitly put that disclaimer on every sentence.
Supplying actual data is always useful. If only that article did that :).

Sometimes, articles that contradict a common opinion do so because they're simply dead wrong. This is one of those cases.
As I suspected, the article is nowhere near technical enough to get any sense of how third parties can tie a name to a phone.

Christmas isn't really a Christian festival any more. I mean technically it never was (Yule is a pagan thing) but even the later amendment of the Christ metaphor has nothing to do with Santa and nor does the modern depiction of Santa have any relation to the original heritage of the character (we have Coka Cola to thank for that).

That all said, I'd welcome a crescent moon and any other imagery too. I don't see the issue in celebrating festivals -- which themselves are intended to be a celebration. Tolerance should be about acceptence other festivals not censorship of them.
How Complex Modern Headlights Can Be
Only one part of it. Most synthetic drugs are made on site or smuggled in though different routes not involving the parties described. It's a wide mix but due to some "grouping" of certain ethnicity in groups they easily get called out the same while there is a wide variety of people involved.

Most is coming in via the Rotterdam harbor (and possibly Vlissingen, IJmuiden and others). And as far as I can read up on it, every ethnic group available is somehow involved in some part of it.

> crushing poverty

My grandma lived in what essentially was a pre-industrial society. She lived in crushing poverty (i.e. being hungry most of the time). Then, our country industrialized and she was never hungry again.
Fair critique, as the GP didn't say certainty but my response was pre-supposed. I would say that we don't have a well-founded, commonly known model linking air pollution and depression. However their confounding experience through poverty is accepted and easily understood.
is this really a surprise?
I was virtually present (doing techy stuff) at an early morning trading-strategy meeting at an investtment bank many years ago.

The lead asked which way the interest-rate decision later that day was going to go, and he was told, basically, "Not sure, we think ...".

His immediate response was "I pay you to KNOW what's been decided", and the subsequent conversation revealed that he wasn't kidding.
Apparently it was a "staff test" :-)

This. It may not (yet) be suitable for every-day use, but it is absolutely great for pet-projects or some tinkering. Also I would love to see enthusiasts creating alternative ecosystem around this, like open, federated social networking apps or maybe something with mesh-network support and hackernews reader app (of course). It won't get mainstream in general public, but could be sort-of mainstream among groups of open/free-everything enthusiasts.

Projected U.S. State-Level Prevalence of Adult Obesity and Severe Obesity
Good article, but there is a frequent misconception of Symbolic AI as "manual creation of lots of rules". This was true for early approaches, such as expert systems in the 70s/80s. Symbolic AI just means, well, AI with symbols, and there are many approaches (e.g., in neuro-symbolic AI or using probabilistic inductive logic programming) where symbolic representations are emergent / learned from data using machine learning approaches and can be uncertain/probabilistic.

In the linked talk "From System 1 Deep Learning to System 2 Deep Learning" by Yoshua Bengio, the speaker first criticizes Symbolic AI only to re-invent concepts from Symbolic AI later (e.g., "high level semantic variables", "shared 'rules' across arguments"), which is rather silly given that some Symbolic AI approaches are well capable of learning symbols, rules etc bottom-up - which is not fundamentally different from learning low-dimensional vector representations or "generalizations" in linguistics.

> If the unskilled young men were left in their home country, they would still be unskilled for the rest of their lives.

Most people involved in these groups are either second or third generation children of immigrants who specifically came for work which was available in the late 50's, 60's and early 70's which were specifically targeted since there was a major lack of available manpower due to fast economic growth and reduced workforce (since there was a small war a decade or so ago). Unskilled maybe but they definitely had work.
Blog Is Over-Engineered
I have friends and ex-partners who are sex workers and seeing this stuff come into action, seeing them get denied at borders, seeing their lives become ever more dangerous has been utterly soul crushing.

Sex worker rights is a huge frontier that we need to fight harder on, sex trafficking and sex work are two different things, and spiting workers because you find them unsavoury or want to be their saviour under the veil of fighting sex trafficking is utterly abhorrent.

Fuck SESTA/FOSTA, fuck the Nordic model, and fuck any "feminist" that doesn't listen to sex workers and fight their corner as opposed to trying to rid the world of them.
Surely not because industry-based jobs let people depressed and surely not because places with industries have been polluting air more than other places. Sure....
> Have you considered how Chinese developers feel when they must not only browse English documentation, but learn English keywords present in every major programming language? How accessible do you think StackOverflow is to Mandarin speakers?

Is it that much different than for native German/French/Spanish/etc. speakers?

> There is no need to force developers to learn an entire new language to be useful to the community as a whole. At the end of the day, it is the code that matters.

This might be controversial, but I think being able to understand english will help a lot in better code. Why? Because most of the article in the field are in english, open source projects are in english, etc. The more you can read those and the more you can learn from them, the better your own code will be.

One of the things I appreciate about the iPhone is the fine grained settings for location tracking. I have had to turn off access to numerous apps and have limited other apps to only using my location when I use the app.

To limit the tracking I had to personally do an audit. I noticed the location indicator was on most of the time and it annoyed me. I found too many apps using location tracking that just did not need it.

Most people will not do this. We need better laws.
> And if you prevent that, sites need to serve ads without any information about the user they're serving them to, and make about half as much money.

So the reason why Facebook (that I rarely use and block using the Facebook container extension) serves me better ads than Google (that has known me since before I left school) is because Google is clueless?

Seriously, for a long time I gave you the benefit of doubt but now you are just annoying. You make and then destroy products I love and can't even use the 23 282 192 million signals I have left behind over the years to give me ads that isn't directly insulting to me and my family!

Seriously: I think even your ads were better before even though I never bought anything (didn't gave the money back then).

It's a great book! (and the cookie recipe is great too.)
I don't understand how people struggle with this concept. There's a reason pilots all over the world must learn English. Fragmenting the development community across language boundaries benefits no one.

A great example is Clickhouse. Russian product, build by an all-Russian team. Yet their docs are in English and they track issues on github in English. I could read them if they were in Russian, but then I would never advocate for the use of Clickhouse in any commercial projects.

If Tencent is unable to cross that bar, then the project should absolutely be rejected from the Linux foundation.

So you're not running a kernel anymore? Interesting.

The main reason why I've seen people at $WORK interact with Red Hat or Suse support is to figure out weird kernel behaviors (both actual kernel bugs and also what turned out to be suboptimal configuration).

Also, do you run your desktop Linux in containers? Desktop Linux is certainly a smaller market than server Linux, but it's large enough for Red Hat to service it.

Do those factors have the same meaning when someone would rather not be e.g. a cleaner or an orderly at a nursing home? Those jobs are physical and not so pleasant. They pay much less than prostitution. Yet, many people are so employed.
It does say this:

"In most cases, ascertaining a home location and an office location was enough to identify a person. Consider your daily commute: Would any other smartphone travel directly between your house and your office every day?"

Then they back it up with:

"With the help of publicly available information, like home addresses, we easily identified and then tracked scores of notables."

And provided the specific example of Mary Millben.

It was manual and not automated, but the tech details of finding work and home addresses, based on the two most visited spots, seems not novel. Similar for extrapolating that into a name.

Fuck the lot of them. I am a feminist and that means sticking up for the rights of all women, whatever their chosen career. You want people to stop doing sex work? Give them a better option.
