I reckon that, given enough time, it’ll go the same was as everything else. Either you pay a subscription to remote it (and the inevitable ads that will appear), or you pay a premium for something without that functionality.

I don’t see how this stops. Advertisers will stop at nothing to invade your life, and businesses are more than happy to facilitate them if they get some more money out of it.
If you're getting $26 from the ad agencies, then it's $-1 on your BOM. Done deal.
Voting systems basically break down into two main processes: runoffs and Condorcet. In a runoff, you basically throw out failing candidates from the vote until you get a winner, with there being different criteria for who gets thrown out. In a Condorcet voting scheme, you instead consider all possible two-way races simultaneously. If one person wins all those races, they win the vote (Condorcet majority criterion). If such a person doesn't exist, different methods handle this scenario differently.

A good way to think of it is like this. Runoff-style systems have the goal of maximizing happiness: prioritize giving more people their high-rank options. Condorcet-style systems have the goal of minimizing unhappiness: minimize giving people their low-rank options. If you have an electorate between two partisan candidates and a centrist candidate, most people are partisans who prefer their partisan candidate, and the partisans are roughly equivalent in strength, a runoff system is going to eliminate the centrist candidate first and give the election to a partisan, while a Condorcet system will find that more people prefer the centrist to the wrong partisan and give the election to the centrist.
Id find it easier not to blame dang if he wasn’t largely at fault. “I’m only doing my job” and “defending the ethos of HN” don’t work for me. I don’t buy it. Peter Thiel’s involvement ended any doubt for me.

Aaaaaaa!

I believe anti-homeless architecture is appalling and Western culture of "the strong (rich) deserve more than others" is the root cause but good lord please go to China and talk to some people before you go repeating propaganda like that...
To be fair to the devs at slack, it does actually cost them something to re-enable this.

every change to the code base has to be checked on mobile web or things will eventually break. at that point will we see an angry tweet about not fixing that?

i develop on a web based system and we don’t support mobile on most of our site because we don’t have the resources to. if we started getting bug reports about this more frequently than we do, we may do the same. It makes our product look bad when we let someone do something we don’t QA for. We pride ourselves on rapid response to our clients requests, with this we build goodwill. we explicitly state we do not support mobile except for specific modules. even with that prior information, users sometimes try anyway and run into bugs. this experience + being told we won’t fix the bug because it’s not a supported platform causes us to lose the goodwill we’ve worked hard to build.

in my local neighborhood there are a ton of wholesale shops that even though there are maybe one or two customers a day (ie the shops are dead most of the time) they refuse to sell non wholesale. it’s not packaging, most things are easily sellable one-off. there are no regulations or laws. they choose not to sell to one class of buyers. if they allowed one-off sales, they would then have to start running their business to support doing that correctly- this means having small change, more personnel, probably introduce some security to watch the now increased traffic in their shops etc.

if slack does mobile web, they’ll have to do it like they do everything else, the “slack” way.

I second that. Given the 20,30 or whatever years postgres dealt with all kinds of file systems, hard drive failure codes and what not I would not recommend to jump to any of the newer contenders without a very good reason. I am not biased towards postgres per se but of all the newer components that the digital world can offer I like to be as secure as possible when it comes to the question whether or not my data was actually Written to a disk. It’s a surprisingly hard problem when you have to work with thousands of connections.

> The US Civil Rights movement generally practiced civil disobedience because the views the laws, the law making process, and the process of selecting who could even participate in the law making process as unacceptable.

This is conflating two aspects of the civil rights movement. It's of course true that there were also objections to the law-making process. But the segregationist laws would be unjust (and hence require violating under MLK's civil disobedience) even if the law-making process perfectly reflected the majority will of the people. It's this latter point that is relevant to INGELRII's comment.

> I don't think Assange was engaging in civil disobedience, nor do I think he would have been justified if he were, but doing so does not and never has relied on faith in the justice of the existing law-making process any more than it does in the law being violated itself.

If the law-making process is illegitimate (e.g., if there is a dictator), then no one thinks you have a moral duty (in the deontological sense) to obey the laws, nor to accept the consequences for breaking them. It's only the situation where the law-making process is legitimate -- reflecting the immoral will of the majority -- where the question comes up of whether (1) you can morally violate the unjust law and (2) whether you are duty-bound to accept the resulting punishment.

I assume you mean the UNIX philosophy? Regardless, almost all of said components are optional, systemd doesn't in any way force you to use them. As a matter of fact many of the components you listed have alternatives that are more popular than the systemd tool (NetworkManager over systemd-networkd, GRUB2 over systemd-boot, etc).

Thanks for confirming. I was more responding to the title claim, which seems incorrect - the desktop site option clearly still works for others. It may be a bug, or a new policy but time will tell.
Honestly, I hope Monica got a good payout from the settlement, as this barely retracts the comments made to the media portraying her as some kind of transphobic repeat offender of harassment.
Your point only reinforces mine -- a website presenting nothing but facts can still offer a false narrative; it takes more work to establish the true narrative.

As for the subtext of your message, you seem to be doubtful that the justice system is biased black people. I have no doubt you are a smart person, so it baffles me why on a post about how complex issues need a broad and nuanced understanding you'd take this simple-minded sarcastic swipe.

You appear to think that the social justice issue was determined simply based on the fact the black people are incarcerated at a higher rate than the general population, and political correctness demands that it be attributed to judicial bias. There is a lot of research supporting this bias; it isn't just a PC justification.

Huh, so apparently the Status tab is supposed to be something like Stories? I've never used it, it wasn't really advertised to me, and when I open it it's an empty page with a prompt to add a status update. From what I gather from the internet it's somewhat like the status messages from old messengers, just some text you can set?

Stickers are new, I must have forgotten that because every other chat app I use has had them for ages. They are really an example of WhatsApp moving slowly compared to Telegram and Discord.

Group video chats are something that's probably motivated by rising mobile speeds? As bandwidth becomes more plentiful and smartphones have plenty of RAM and CPU power there's no reason to restrict video chats to one person.
Ug, I imagine someone reading this is going to snowshoe a test over the weekend.

In my opinion, setting the alcohol/nicotine age to 21 isn't so much to prevent 18 year olds from accessing it, its to prevent 14-16 year olds from access. Every high school has some 18 year olds - products legally available to them will trickle down to younger kids much easier than those that require purchasers to be 21.

While RISC OS was influential, the 'app bar' idea mostly came from Windows 1.0 with minimized apps at the bottom of the screen. It went through several iterations and for a while it was a storage location for documents with no apps at all. Eventually the simple app list tested best so that's what stuck.

[I worked on parts of the Win95 UI although George Pitt I think did most of the work on the Taskbar itself]
Something alluded to but not said explicitly is that specs don’t tell you if an audio product is “good.” Very few people can look at a spec sheet for any product and tell you if it’s “good” or “better” than something else. You need to listen to it.

Impedance/sensitivity just tell you how well it will play with your system. Stuff like “high impedance == more clarity” is snake oil.

I say this as a former pro audio specialist who has read and possibly written a bit of snake oil in their time.

Headphone specs are not straight up horseshit like the rest of their product page, but they are next to useless. Take your daily driver and a reference track you know and listen to the cans before you buy them.

In automotive talk, Tesla is usually shit on for their unavoidable low quality cars. (Because new) Maybe in 10 years serious car buyers would consider a Tesla.
The slower protocols usually get the more penetrating frequencies since they’re better optimized for getting a link in the first place.

I think the real push for 5G is that it could replace physical infrastructure and regulators only have policies for forcing availability of physical infrastructure. At least in Canada anyway.

Nimby should be fixed in the law. Value of your own property should be just your own concern. If whatever happens around it doesn't emit toxic substances or horrible smells or noises and doesn't lower insolation of your property below some minimum levels then you should have no saying in what happens not on your land.
Normally I would agree (The race to the bottom is huge) but in a market where the cheapest Samsung 32" TV in the UK on Amazon is £183 (~$240), The brand carries some weight for "quality", the data the module would generate can be sold on to generate income and you would be in a fine position to sign a custom deal with the carrier where you only pay for data if the customer didn't connect the device to their own connection the extra module itself is gonna cost $5. The extra $20 is only in data charges if they chose to exploit it.

Samsung could throw in the cheapest caps they could find from Shenzhen Markets, but they usually come with a decent brand (at least in the TV's I've taken apart in the past couple of years).

Sneaking in the extra cost of the modulke to the customer (if its as low as $5) will be pretty easy as long as the rev generated from the data collection is more than the data charges they are billed for (omitting the cost of dev'ing the FP'ing software and generating the FP's in your server farm).

EDIT: The 3 years of service was just a random number plucked out of the air. A length of time that could be used to study to see if the costs would be worth it (and a number I picked from experience with updates / new features no longer being pushed to smart TV's). If they found its not worth it, they could drop the service 12 months in and not have to pay for the 2 years left on the experiment (thus reducing the cost again).

The manufacturers have the numbers (number of units sold vs the number of units phoning home) to know if it would be a worthwhile endeavour. Just making the point that we are pretty much at the point where the costs of such connectivity is not a huge sum in the grand scheme of things.
That's not true--the moderator said she refused to acknowledge non-binary people by their pronouns if they use a singular "they" because of an ideological objection to their gender identity.

I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns, and while I'm not bothered when people avoid my pronouns e.g. by using my name instead, it's another thing entirely to assert that someone who doesn't consider non-binary identity valid "believes in helping the LGBTQ+ community but differed in how to do so."

Simply avoiding being rude (by deliberately using the wrong pronouns) is the baseline for respect, literally the least you can do. To "help" implies to support--if you support our community please use our correct pronouns and correct other cis people who misgender trans folks in your presence, don't merely humor us.
this would work for me if I either had alot of patience or a different dataset. I can either send 1 70GB file or 70 1GB files.
Not even going to dependent types, the type system and verification capabilities of the SPARK language & toolset already allow for use in the mission-critical (and not only safety-critical) domain.

The tech is progressive so you can go first for 'correct' data flow (no access to uninitialized variables, dataflow constraints like Depends, Global, very interesting stuff already), then for proof of the absence of runtime errors, then for some specific properties (think maybe properties like 'this should never happen' or properties you'd write when doing PBT) to full functional proof. On a procedure to procedure base.

The progress that's been made with support of floating point is amazing. Things that were hard 3 years ago now get proved without help. Pointers are now supported via a rust-like mechanism.

NVidia seems to believe in the tech (well at least for Ada) for some of its new firmwares. I've seen pure algorithmic code fully proven with similar effort as it would have taken testing /AND/ you always find bugs... People that have written some SPARK then start thinking and designing for proof. Code gets simpler, design clearer, loops more evident, added contracts help understanding the interface and clear the mind while reading code (like early returns would have done before).

I don't work for AdaCore or Altran UK but I think they're amazing minds at work here.
I’ve seen a few “20 year” or “30 year” managers. I can’t help but wonder how their methods might have varied if they had been exposed to even one other organization’s way of doing things. Also, do they subconsciously value “company-loyal” employees over others with equivalent or superior experience?

Generally I feel that varied experiences matter more, even if you get unlucky and spend a handful of years in a less-stellar team.
What world do you live in? The government's primary function is to control the people. That's a descriptive statement.

> calorie consumption

Healthy food subsidies and soda/candy taxes. Restrictions on food stamps.

> motorcycle usage

Licensing, training, and helmet requirements, age minimum.

> dangerous hobbies

Licensing and training requirements, often with age minimums.

It'd be great if the government could reduce sedentary lifestyles, but making people do stuff tends to be harder than making them not do certain things.

>What do you think is broken with the status quo and how/what could/should be improved?

Unpopular Opinion.

I used to think there were something broken in the system, procedure or policy during the first 8-10 years stepping in to the Job Market and society. First 10 years you are likely the Job Seeker, and wonder why does Job Seeking sucks, why the interview and flow sucks. Next 10 years you are now in the position to scan and look for candidate sitting on the other side of the table. You starting to wonder why so many candidate lied about their achievement and how the scanning system doesn't really work.

So After all these years, I am now convinced nothing is broken or inherently wrong in the system or procedure. But the people operating it are far from perfect.

I am sorry I dont have any actionable plan. A lot of people often question why I give another glimpse or negativity to the problem. But I argued if I had a solution I would have done it myself, I am merely trying to help and offer a little more thoughts or perspective.

I agree, Samsung doesn't deserve our money. I boycotted Samsung after they destroyed my perfectly good Galaxy s5 with software updates. Sadly, the Pixel I got next wasn't much better.

They dominate certain RAM markets though, and that's kind of unfortunate.
I've directly sampled a lot of mobile location data. The data is sparse. Most people do not have their location data distributed, and of those who do most have very few pings, and with Apple/Android now explicitly asking for location permissions the utility of the data which is available will decrease dramatically. Google, Apple, Verizon etc have significantly more due to their centrality in the technology but to my knowledge directly sell none of it. I understand the concern to for privacy but NYT makes the issue seem larger than it is.
Same thing happened to me. I realized that I actually do better work now that I'm more chilled out and my life is more balanced.
Authenticated encryption has nothing to do with identity; you've confused message authentication with signatures.
I don't necessarily disagree with your argument, but Snapchat might not be the best example. Snap has never posted a profit and their stock, even after a rise of almost 275% this calendar year, is still 42% below its IPO price.
No, these laws were created to promote art being paid for.

This sort of worked! But maximizing the payout ≠ maximizing the breadth of distribution. It often is more lucrative to segment the market, only sell to those who is ready to pay more than a pittance, and never try to sell for cheaper to a wider audience. It's especially true for digital goods that can be perfectly moved around the globe in under half a second of latency.
Uber? They are on borrowed time
Having worked with and for many finance giants I'm speaking from my personal experience. Just like every other enterprise on the planet they tend to build their core tech around mature and easily staffed technologies. Both JP and GS are "mainly" java shops I know for a fact. Outlier projects with other languages aside do happen, but that doesn't mean it's the mainline tech. I'm not sure how you derived otherwise from the numerous java projects in their github. Also public repos are only tip of the iceberg.
Worth considering that nearly all of these hypersonic weapons rely on a pretty beefy booster to get the initial altitude and energy. I don't know what the range/time range off between these hypersonic solutions versus a pure ballistic solution would be. In a military context, these hypersonics grant a variety of interesting capabilities, all of which seem relatively irrelevant to civilian applications.
What do you mean the older batteries concern is fake? Batteries literally lose capacity and capable amperage over their life. Yes, they way they handled it initially could’ve been better, but to say it’s not reality is to literally ignore reality.
