I think you missed my point.

GPS is so entangled in the OS that as soon as you enable it ten different Google services will record and send your positioning data to different departments at google. But I have ZERO interest in giving anyone my location. I don't care what cool service you have, not interested sorry.

The problem is that as soon as you _enable_ GPS on Android a dialog is shown telling you Google will use your data. If you don't agree, GPS will be turned back off.

(This by itself is a clear GDPR violation, by the way)
It does have a bug though, if the place you visited changes its name, your history will say you visited $NEW_PLACE instead of $OLD_PLACE.

So if you went to an e.g. Hilton in Berlin in 2018, and in the meantime they shut down/move, and some companies (let's say Facebook) set up offices in the former hotel, if you look in your history, it will say you spent the nights in Facebook offices in Berlin..

Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) What is a fecal occult blood test?
I agree with this view, and that Netflix must be quite negatively addictive for some. Following from that, I wonder why we don't see similar articles about Netflix as we do about quitting facebook? It has the same kind of relevance to HN but I can't remember ever engaging in discussion about Netflix addiction here.
Perhaps that’s because all the points on the “what we believe” page are about inclusion, community, and equal treatment.

Truthfully, I don’t spot any logical way to disagree with those stated views without the reasoning being “I don’t like that kind of person.”

I can only assume that you did a lot more than “not sharing” at work. In fact you said so - you went out of your way to talk to people in private just to disagree. People don’t like that kind of thing, doesn’t matter what the subject matter is.
An octave is the interval between one musical pitch and another with double its frequency, which isn’t arbitrary; however the number of notes within an octave (and, I think, their exact tuning) is arbitrary.
To me the limit in freedom of speech is when one calls for violence. As I truly believe in free speech, every exception you make to free speech, is arbitrary. If we have to everyone's exceptions into account, it's over with real free speech.

I personally can't be easily hurt by people I don't know well, but also understand that other people are easier hurt. This can be due to their current situation or things from the past that can more easily hurt their feelings.

I also want to stress that there's obviously something as politeness, empathy and social behavior. These should be encouraged at all times. But we all know some people simply can't behave and sometimes you even yourself can make an insulting remark

But due to free of speech, I do believe that people who are rude, insult others and make insensitive jokes, should be allowed to do so. Without any limit. How terrible it is what they say

They practice their freedom of speech. And we shouldn't punish them, other than telling them how we feel about what they say and making clear it can hurt the feelings of others.

On the other side we should invest in becoming more resilent to insults etc.

Obviously I see a task for parents and maybe even schools.

Thet should invest time in teaching children how to deal with rude, insensitive, insulting people and make them more resilient e.g. by boosting their self confidence.

For me that would be the best solution to keep an open society where people can speak freely. Making exceptions will kill it.

After all what can be insulting to person 1 can mean totally nothing to person 2.
It is identity politics when a set of people asks for privileges based on the colour of their skin. It wasn't so long ago that the civil rights movement wanted to abolish classification based on race, now they demand it so that their race gets more privileges, in a sort of pay back. Now you have people behind these identity-based movements demanding things like quotas, X% of people at Big Corp. should be black, Y% should be women, a co-founder of Reddit resigns from board so that a black person replaces him. Qualifications needed: colour of their skin?

There will be no end to these problems until we recognise the problem is not in the colour of the skin. It's not one set of people, it's not even multiple sets of people (women/black people/latinos), it's not about heterogeneous sets of people (mixed-race). The problem is only within individuals, and their individual actions. If a black person kills another black person, that's bad. If a white person kills a black person, that's also bad. If a man kills a woman, that's bad. If a woman kills a man, that's bad. It looks like this is a difficult thing to accept nowadays.

Also I'm sorry if I haven't addressed all your points, I'm afraid I am busy and didn't have more time to develop this comment further.
> Aren’t they just going to use the same defence that google, Facebook and others do, that they are just a platform and not responsible for the content users put on there?

That defense could have worked if counterfeit products were a minority and they tried to fight them off, however as time is passing by, I see more and more Amazon as a marketplace almost primarily dedicated to counterfeit products due to their very high share on the platform... Search for basically everything and there's guaranteed counterfeit on the top (and that's only what you can see, I wonder what's the real share of counterfeit there...)

I don't find it to be controversial that questioning someone's humanity or personhood isn't simply "offensive." I find it very surprising that people chanting anti-Semitic nonsense continue to find acceptance and defenders in the United States.

To have a tolerant and open society you need to be intolerant to those who are intolerant. Why is this new or subject to debate?
Perl and CPAN definitely do not get enough flowers for their contribution to TDD.
I think it's this bit: "does not apply to all skin colors, genders or sexual orientations"

If he'd said "does not apply to all countries" he'd probably not get downvoted, but the idea that people of different sexes and races don't have equal freedom is a hotly contested political question in many countries.
The difference is realistically possible vs not possible.

I think the point stands.
>If your clients are like mine, there are likely a lot of things your clients don't ask for. For instance, accessibility. Do we ignore that as well?

Well, some of my clients are government, so they do care about accessibility. For the rest, I put in some effort, because it's the right thing to do. (As opposed to rendering speed, which I really don't think matters, within reason.)
Thanks! Yes TMB has an API, I looked at it before but it only provided scheduled service times, not live data like you can see on the boards in the station. But I'll have another look!

You caught me, I didn't read the whole thing.
While it is certainly worse on Twitter I would argue that the other social media sites are not that much better. See reddit or facebook for example.
But if nobody is using it in the area you live in, those platforms don't help you. The fact that such software exists isn't what brings the value to users, it's the fact that other people use it that you want to interact with. The term for this phenomenon is "network effect", and Facebook just simply buys up tons of platforms that have network effects.
As far as I know the convention of HN has always been that downvotes can be used to express strong disagreement and that discussion of downvoting is regarded as unproductive and a bit boring.
But users didn't install Edge. It installed itself. Yes, writing a special case for just this one situation sounds annoying, but they have a responsibility to their users. If the user didn't install something new, they shouldn't get the popup. That was the deal and MS broke it.
> Tesla isn’t officially part of the study because it doesn’t allow J.D. Power access to customer vehicle registration data.

Interesting quote. Does that mean if I buy a non-Tesla car in the US, that my personal details automatically get passed on?

I'm not always a Tesla fan, and you could always claim this is because 'they have something to hide', but I very much like the sound of it from a privacy perspective.
As far as I remember, this was already stated in early assessments by European car manufacturers about Tesla, too. But then again, there is an obvious bias why such statements would come from the competition.
We know that the wages of secrecy are corruption. We know that in secrecy error, undetected, will flourish and subvert. – Robert Oppenheimer

Of course, and thank you for asking. The group I was involved in was repatriating Eastern European women who had been duped. They responded to ads in the paper that were seeking farmhands to spend the summer picking fruit for excellent wages. When the women showed up to the "interview" at the farm, they were drugged and kidnapped.

From there, they were transported to Egypt, where they were smuggled close to the border and "conditioned". Conditioning involves repeatedly forcing them to take strong drugs like heroin, so that they become chemically addicted. The drugs act as an effective restraint. If the girl escapes, she has no way to get a fix within 48 hours, and goes into withdrawal.

Eventually, they are smuggled into slave markets in various countries there, where they are auctioned off or sold via direct sale. Usually, an auto mechanic is involved - he will build the girl into a car for transport. She will be sewed into the seats in the back of the car, built into the dashboard just behind the engine - it's simply awful. Travel can take several days and many don't survive.

I can't say much about how we intervened, but we worked with the authorities to intercept them and repatriate them to their homes in Europe.
Why did you delete WhatsApp? Don't you have to text some people occasionally? Or how do you communicate? Do you use Signal, Telegram, E-mail or something instead?

BTW I also had to use Facebook once - because everybody at the uni did so its Messenger was the way we texted each other. Now I use Telegram and WhatsApp.

I mean Instagram is a pure time&attention wasting tool, Facebook is the same + a messenger (which is an essential thing everybody needs nowadays - that's the way we communicate with people who don't stand right in front of us at the moment), WhatsApp is a pure messenger, isn't it?
For the people who did not notice, in the "Open Access" tab you can download the PDF of the whole book legally and for free.

There is also a second book by the same author which is a bit harder and more comprehensive, and also open access:

Well, I've given talks on databases (Postgres), javascript (vue) and modern devops (k8s etc) at various Perl conferences in the last years, so I cannot agree.

In fact, I'm giving a small talk on Docker today at the Perl Conference in the Cloud, and also a lightning talk about a ~50 line tool to provide an async web server to post to Matrix. https://tpc20cic.sched.com/

Yes, there are a few people entrenched in old ways (and sometimes it pays off to not always use the newest tech), but there are also a lof of Perl devs doing current stuff.
I think that you are confused. If anything it is the lack of transparency that is closer to censorship.
Hi You write: Sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes
?Could this be a typo what's the other one please?
OK, sure. But TFA doesn't mention any coating.

I found a resource that corroborates what I said about behavior on water.[0] But it doesn't get into why that is.

And about density and electronegativity:

g/cm^3 χ (Pauling) 1st ionization energy (kJ/mol)
Li 0.535 0.98 520
Na 0.968 0.93 496
K 0.856 0.84 419

The difference in density is larger than that for electronegativity and 1st ionization energy. But yes, all three arguably play a role. Still, for Li vs Na, density seems like the major factor.

>I've considered solutions, and I believe forcing people to reply before they are allowed to downvote would help

I think old school sequential forums were actually much better, outside specific niches they're harder to find these days though. Having the things everyone strongly agrees with at the top where they're the first to be read just encourages flamewars straight out of the gate and a lot of stuff just got lost in the middle to never be looked at again. But when casually reading you see replies from everyone, there's no distinction between controversial opinions and group think approved ones. One of the few I frequent regularly is actually a political and has posters with the full spectrum of beliefs, but the lack voting makes things much more pleasant than a similar topic on here or reddit would be.

There were a couple of other advantages too, bumping threads meant the conversation was over when it stopped being discussed, not when an algorithm decided it was no longer interesting.
You will always find that one social media post that will prolong any sentence.
Indeed. I hoped that Ubuntu, Debian and the other understood that the APT repository is nothing but an App Store. Ubuntu was in great position to start asking for money to divert to projects. Who wouldn't pay $10 for the convenience to install Gimp or libreoffice with one command?
>but more advanced stuff gets pretty unwieldy

Sounds to me like something like Honeycode is exactly what is needed then, as a replacement for Excel in a business context. It is yet to be seen of course whether or not they can achieve this, or just replace one unwieldy mess for another.
Funny enough, Erlang is my preferred language (or at least one of them).

I don't know if I'd necessarily call the JS in question "modern", though. It's running on RhinoScript, which needless to say ain't exactly the latest hotness. Still, the platform in question does happen to support/encourage AMD modules (with some special comments for certain components), so I guess it could be worse.
China needs to start pulling it's students home permanently.

Not saying the author wrote it for that purpose, but I'm sure it's being pushed atm for that reason.
The harmonic series (of which the first three intervals are octaves, fifths, fourths in pythagorean tuning) is not arbitrary.

How you construct a more useful set of notes from the harmonic series is arbitrary. The 1.5^12 ~= 2^7 coincidence I note above allows you to construct a scale using octaves and fifths. You can just as easily do it with other similar coincidences, use fifths and fourths instead, etc etc.

Check the smoothness/roughness functions in my blog link - the reason you think e.g. a 3rd sounds as 'right' as a 7th is likely purely cultural. Other cultures have other scales. One of the Indian ragas has over 100 notes.

(I'm aware OP claims it's ALL learned, including the octave, but even if true I don't think that means it's all cultural).
This topic is boring me to death already. I'll keep it short. Automation+competition mean cheaper potatoes (or anything really). Cheaper potatoes means you save $10 per month. Now you can spend $10 on something else. Maybe on a movie or you save the money and go to a theme park with your kid. This represents a new employment opportunity (less farming more entertainment). Therefore automation isn't causing structural long term unemployment.

However there is a darker side to automation. What if automation is used without any competition? e.g. your company has a first mover advantage and it takes 4 years for the competition to catch up. What happens is that the potatoes stay at the same price but the company is increasing its profit margin which benefits the owners/shareholders of the company at the expense of workers. This isn't about unemployment. This is about wealth inequality. When a company replaces a worker with a machine it becomes more profitable but the worker gets nothing.

Society needs to change in a way that the laid off workers benefit from automation to the point that people are hoping their job gets automated or they decide to automate their own job. If someone gets laid off by automation for the third time that person should be happy, not sad.
Very interested in this concept, I just am unclear how the interface & data can be separated in a way that is easy for spreadsheet users to understand. Users see the cell as the canonical data point, after all, they see all their data in front of them. Perhaps the problem isn't the interface but the way the underlying logic is hidden.

I'd be interested in discussing this more tomorrow, my email is my hn username @gmail if you want to hit me up when you have more details to share.
Not just the manufacturers - motoring journalists have generally said the same thing from the get go:

That's a depressing and really slow-paced movie.. one can appreciate that this is part of the message, but honestly I don't think many people will really enjoy it. Not saying it's a bad movie... it's just that it's (intentionally) not a pleasant watching experience.

I also don't think it will leave one enlightened in any way - has the strange quality of being both accurate & misleading at the same time. Plus, the state of our medical system is a topic of interest for Romanians but not really anybody else, I believe.

Yes, Google uses third-party cookies to support building cross-site profiles of users. This is an opt-in feature via GA admin, where the settings for the property require "Advertising Features" to be enabled.

This can also be controlled on tracker- and tag-level on the site itself.

What you're misunderstanding is that google-analytics.com doesn't leverage this behavior. The third-party cookies are written on doubleclick.net, to which GA's analytics.js library sends a payload of data if advertising features have been enabled.

So everything I wrote in the article stands. google-analytics.com is not being used for cross-site tracking. Any third-party cookies written on that domain are not involved in either first-party tracking by analytics.js, or the audience building efforts by doubleclick.net.

Your insults are completely unnecessary, especially when they're based on a complete misunderstanding of how Google's advertising and analytics stack works.

I feel looking for musical scores in peoples brains is a great place to start decoding. We clearly load data into a conscious signal somehow like CAN-bus but it must also be stored maybe on actin filaments in the dendritic spines as loops we load in? Also mentally we can change the music and add any number of instruments over the top change the tune and deviate the course of the melody, add vocal harmonies from crowds of people and violins etc. so where does that part happen?, in the signal?. can it be 'heard'? . and is the music 'composer' happening in the same part of the brain as the language generating part or is it just similar capabilities in a different part of the brain?. Decoding must be possible. I feel if they had like millions of brains all wired up to computers that were using AI to find match patterns . i.e. audio patterns from songs in brains data. they could brute force it? Is getting people to sing stuff and making assumptions weak science?

> If you start blocking all analytics then expect that you will have to use garbage products.

The whole analytics/spyware era properly started in the last decade, and the last decade is surprisingly also when most software started going to shit, like Windows 10, iOS or even macOS.

I'm not convinced that analytics leads to better software in any way, and all the information I've got so far leads me to believe the opposite.

The German section is seriously confusing because it contains both West- and East-German movies (and with no further indication which is which). E.g. a movie like "Sexy Sisters" would be very untypical for any Eastern European country I think ;)
But if this is the reason, does it make sense to leave it in then? I.e. to unroll this here: https://github.com/google/wuffs/commit/6537a817b7f8351cded87...

I guess, maybe once another global constant is introduced somewhere else, this might have exactly the same effect.

But also, once there are more unrelated changes, everything will change anyway again.

It seems strange then to keep this in because right now this seems to help.
In my opinion, those are results of Perl losing mindshare. Numpy is not exactly hard (R has a significant fraction built in, and there's an old standard library for Scheme, of all things, that is very similar). Perl was perhaps the leading language for websites, but the Perl 5/6 situation just confused everybody as it dragged on, which made Python and Ruby libraries seem more attractive.
But there's also other companies/services like Picpay and stuff right?
We were dealing with life and death situations. The pressure is beyond intense. If you mess up, a girl will be locked in a cave for much of her life. It's not a "calm" environment where you can nitpick every term for political correctness. You just need to convey the info that you need.

FWIW: it was worth quite a bit :)
No, they're using more 'old fashioned' class-based components with state; function-based components using hooks is the modern way of writing React. Less boilerplate, for one.
