I call bullshit on more people using iMessage than any of facebook related services. In this case, I feel like you've a very North American point of view. Majority people who have a smart phone has one of fb/whatsapp/instagram accounts, while iPhones don't even make up for the majority of market share when it comes to smartphone.
It seems like a lot of people in this thread might be interested in a place like Bunkitsu:

It's a bookstore in Tokyo that actually charges an admission fee, but it looks like a great place to spend a whole day around books.
Honestly, your first question stands by itself for all times as far as Facebook is concerned. Facebook is incapable of and disinterested in taking moral stances for any reason.
No there are certainly not better monitors at your thrift store for $5 dollars.

This is a brand new monitor i bought some months ago (late 2019) and the cost was much bigger than 5 dollars. In fact it was the most expensive VA monitor at this resolution (i avoid IPS because i actually want to be able to see dark colors and contrast and every single IPS monitor i've used, regardless of resolution, is garbage when it comes to that with the awful backlight glow), it has a ton of inputs at the back, relatively fast response time (for VA), etc. It is one of the best monitors i ever had.

The resolution was something i explicitly opted for, partly because at the time i had an APU-based system that i wanted to game on and i didn't want the blurry mess that a higher resolution would have and partly because 1366x768 on a monitor (as opposed to laptop) makes for very sharp icons, fonts (after you disable antialiasing) for everything (as opposed to using a hidpi monitor where some apps look crisp and others look either too tiny or blurred from scaling). Also as a (very high) bonus, it looks great when playing older games that often use 1024x768 as a resolution since i have 1:1 mapping there.

Finally 1366x768 is currently by far the most common resolution on PCs (mainly thanks to laptops, but desktops use it too - see mine) according to statcounter and the second most common on gaming PCs according to Steam, so it isn't something you'd only find in obscure old PCs, it is as mainstream as it gets.
Wow, the lithium lick is strong. iOS gets things Android has had since forever ago and somehow this is evidence that Apple is going to change the world again.
> It's ridiculous. Both far left and far right of the political spectrum have become caricatures of themselves. They've both lost all reason and critical thinking abilities and resort to black and white, yes or no, all in or out, fuck on or fuck off statements.

Generally, this has always been true. It's difficult to form and hold an extreme view while also having an open mind and having discussions with people of differing opinions.

All said, this doesn't mean extreme views are necessarily wrong - slavery abolition, racial equality, etc. were at one times extreme.
The vast majority of that fee that merchants pay goes to the bank, not Visa or Mastercard. And a vast majority of what the bank gets in that fee goes back out to the card owner in the form of rewards. You see merchant fees of 1-2% because that is pretty close to typical rewards paid out on credit cards.

The logical conclusion is that you should pay yourself to get rid of the motorcycle. I'm not sure how anyone else gets involved. Especially when your donated organs can save other people.

You could get the government to pay a lot of money to make motorcycles unnecessary, but they already are.

Also $50 sounds high to me. Most standards are closer to $5-10.
I think the problem is that once you want to be found, like for a grocery shopping app, most folks think you search and just find them and when it doesn't work....they don't know to go find some settings and figure it out.

Slightly off topic. After the Covid-19 masks are not useful / we must wear masks fiasco, if you are willing to think it through, it is painful how most media are not independent at all. At best they are beholden to group thinks, parroting government officials. At worst they are just instruments of propaganda. I believe it is time for each person to control the information they receive, just like diet. AdBlockers are a good first step.

Curious after quick look: how come the primary container (pg upstream image) has a volume for the replica which doesn't seem used and the replica (custom image which wipes $PGDATA at start) has no host volume (hence data is in the container)? (very possible I've missed something)
The first browser tools were a Firefox plugin called Firebug in 2005. It revolutionized debugging in the browser. At that time browsers did not provide a stack trace to errors. Error messaging was obscure and not helpful so you really had to guess your way through debugging.

Firebug also allowed live adjustments to CSS, which did not exist before.

That’s the back story.
What competitor? There are no other open source offering that suitable for KDE.
One of the weirdest research project I ever got involved in was 'Real-Time Feedback System for Monitoring and Facilitating Discussions'. Using a game engine as the platform, it used dance-off moves to visualize social interaction within a discussion.

One quote from the paper taken from 'The Craft of Information Visualization' (Bederson and Ben Shneiderma): 'Humans can recognise the spatial configuration of elements in a picture and notice relationships among elements quickly.'
I don't think there's any mystery here, I also started seeing pro-Trump posts but that's because I'd watched other posts. If you start swiping immediately on those videos, they stop showing up. The algorithm doesn't care if you watched a video because you were enjoying it or were upset but couldn't turn away (or if you left a comment to support the content or argue with the creator). They tune it to glue your eyeball to the screen.
Fantastic comment. Kudos.

I think this is also highly relevant to perceptions of the value of higher education within programmer circles.

I can see how CMU's Systems or Theory courses might seem like a complete waste of time outside of the Industry Cluster, where you really don't need to know all that stuff. But I also see the fairly obscene 10x+ difference between the "first job out of undergrad at NoName" programmer salaries and the "first job out of PhD school at MIT" programmer salaries.
Established best practices of good software engineering, vast selection of libraries for pretty much anything, high performance code, cross platform availability, scalability. Pretty much anything you need to build a solid backend exists here and not to mention the large Java dev community.

You’re correct in 99% of cases. Somehow gas stations can advertise different prices for cash.
Private property implies ownership. The moment you assume ownership, you have to be ready to defend your claim against a counter claimant. How you defend this claim depends on where (and when) you live, but almost uniformly requires force - either directly (violence) or indirectly (court systems and police, aka violence by proxy).

If there is no concept of private property, the need to defend ownership ceases. If no one owns anything, there can be no claims - and counter claims. Like a happy family where your brother's meal is also yours, and vice versa - depending on how hungry you are.

For the record, I don't support the latter stance and believe Marxism is catastrophically ignorant of innate human tendencies. But as an ideology, it is worth exploring to reexamine our own relationship with and understanding of private property.
Everyone who voted for Trump is a far right enabler if not far right themselves. That captures a large portion of the electorate, anyway.

Venmo is owned by Paypal. Zelle is owned by all of the big banks collectively (Bank of America, Capital One, Wells Fargo et al.). The closest thing to a "small" player is the Cash app, owned by Square.

No commentary on the larger picture here or Amex/Discover, just pointing out your other examples don't exactly fit your point fully.

Lessons from Japan’s ‘Lost Decades’
Then don't. But if a web form at a coffee place wants to ask you for payment, it should be able to call up the WebPayment API to ask for one time permission, to which you can acknowledge. I shouldn't need a native app to do it.

And once you acknowledge that asking for access to spend your credit card is ok on the Web (and it is, because Apple supports the W3C Payment Request API), why do you think it is far worse to plug into a USB device, and be prompted to ask if your Web page can access it. There are any number of reasons to do this, like Arduino projects, IoT devices, etc.

I use a Chrome app that lets me install APKs over USB thanks to this API. Super helpful for installing built artifacts from a Continuous Integration result page for example.

Or maybe you're at an airport, or your company, and you want interact with a vending machine through NFC or BlueTooth. Why is a one-off permission tied to that one use any worse than the previous example of payment approval.

Most of the people responding on HackerNews seem to think Web apps can use these APIs without requesting user permission.
I would encourage you to frame your disagreement with statements and facts. Asking questions expecting the reader to draw the same conclusion as you isn't a useful discussion mechanism. Especially when the reader doesn't agree with you.
Well it is 75% of a subset, computer science as oppossed to the whole college. That and they are largely a drop out of the class as opposed to the college. They mostly transfer to other easier "back up" majors.
I don't think it'd make any difference. In the list you linked, only a few of those provide log-in with oauth. Letting people log in with Google won't let us import data from e.g. Letterboxd etc. Even if Letterboxd provided log-in with oauth, you'd still have to go through another authorization flow if you wanted to import data from an additional service.

The algorithm uses a simple item-based neighborhood model. i.e. if you like song A, Findka looks up all the content liked by other users who liked song A and probabilistically chooses an item that was well-liked. To help the algorithm keep learning, 35% of the recommendations are purely random ("epsilon-greedy"). I describe the implementation here[0], though it's changed slightly (now I export the database every day or so and generate a model on my laptop, then I load it into memory on the server). I experimented with a machine learning-based model (a latent factor model) last week, but it seems I don't yet have enough rating data for that to be useful.

Because then you control when the flow of marketing or "Service" related email stops. And you can tell which vendor leaked your email either deliberately or by accident.
Yes, but you don't owe them any money if you want to buy something. From the link:

"There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services"
I think you are right about the long term solution and the underlying cause being disillusioned with leadership / govt / institutions.

I wonder if we don't need some sort of reboot because it is no impossible to iterate out of where we are. I'm more hopeful for the later and human perseverance
Yeah the US might have to counter by making a strong statement and maybe put missiles in... eh, Turkey should do!
Yeah I tried timing first but it was hard to get right. The weight of the desk affects it and it also goes down quicker then it goes up (not sure if that’s common with all desks - I would assume so). You also can’t use the regular up/down adjustments if you rely on timing as it would be out of sync (I have buttons to raise and lower regularly as well as moving to presets)

There are plenty of other payment methods than cash that have guards against being lost/stolen or the other problems with handling cash, but also dont have the high cost of interchange that funds credit card rewards.

Merchants take credit cards to avoid losing a purchase. Cards have such a high volume that consumers expect it and some small portion will skip a purchase if its not an option. But merchants would much prefer you pay with a store card, debit card or one of many other payment methods that dont have the same (2-3%) cost that credit cards do.
It's a bit hard to focus on because of his accent and slow speaking style, but if you can stick with it, this is a fantastic lecture filled with interesting and stimulating ideas. I hadn't realized prior to listening to this that Darwin had in fact gotten many of his ideas on evolution from the social sciences, particularly Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.
I don't think people would have a problem with this if the political public squares (YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, etc) - and that IS what they are - applied these policy changes to everyone equally.

What's happened is we've already gone over the edge. Racism has been redefined to only be effectively possible by white people in the West. The intention of this change is racist in itself.

Putting aside freedom of speech, what people likely have a problem with is all the OTHER racists on YouTube NOT getting banned and instead being PROPPED UP.

These bans are political, not civil justice. If these racists were A) a real problem, and B) not singled out as a faction among multiple other racist factions, then people might believe this is fair.

To those that contend that criteria A has been met: The modern rise of white supremacists in the West is being spurred by racist politics; it's almost as if they want to corner these people into extremist ideas.

I am an adherent to Daryl Davis' way of dealing with racism, and that's by understanding the root causes of it and addressing them.

These bans are a farce, and meant to consolidate far-leftist power - not liberal power.

He speculates the bot detected phrases like "white will always be better here...", etc., then goes on to say that in his ~1800 uploads "it's pretty much black and white to the death in every video".

He appealed, but was immediately rejected by the automated appeals system. The channel was restored when further responses and feedback from subscribers eventually got a human in the loop at YouTube.
>How much does tire sidewall stiffness contribute to the force holding the car up?

A car? Not much. At any reasonable driving air pressure the air is doing most of the work.

A pickup/van with E or better rated tires? Eh, some but not much in proportion to the weight said tire is expected to carry, especially if the tires are anywhere near the top of their pressure range.

A skid steer or some other off highway machine with "bajillion ply" tires expressly designed to be resilient to sidewall punctures that runs low pressure because all of the suspension is in the tire? Yeah, sidewall stiffness accounts for a lot in that case.
Because then the web process needs access to the USB stack in some way, which is a lot more complicated than simply providing credit card information…
The decline of the US was not triggered by "marxists". It was triggered by a disastrous, two decade long war in Afghanistan and Iraq, followed by an economic catastrophe where the culprits went completely unpunished.

Unironically, the decline of the US is being caused by wanton neoliberal capitalism. Marxism didn't lead to a $6 trillion war and trillion dollar bailouts.

The reason I dislike seeing posts like this on HN is because they completely absolve the neoliberals of their guilt and paint an imaginary fall guy as the culprit. It's precisely what Wall Street and the military-industrial complex want.
Of course, the system is designed to encourage you to be irresponsible in college.
> One of the big problems of K8s is it's a monolith

while I pretty much agree with everything else you mention, I think it's kind of the opposite; since k8s is fundamentally an API, it's very modular and extensible and this is why it's being successful (I agree it wants you to do things its way and things like databases need to be shimmed at the moment, so the conclusion is similar... for now)
The governments must step in and ban interest altogether. This is only fair, and will force banks and businesses to transact morally with customers.
Countries that were flirting with the idea of backtracking on the Euro, like Italy and (to a lesser degree) Spain, have effectively removed the item from their political agenda for the time being. It has become radioactive in electoral terms. Even the anti-EU (and Putin-backed) parties stopped mentioning it. People are scared shitless of ending up like Greece did in those fateful weeks, without functioning banks and with a bankrupt State. It’s better to have an expensive mortgage for a solid house, than living for free in a shack.

The Euro is not perfect but you cannot realistically have a strong EU in the long run without a common currency. More tweaking is absolutely necessary (and effectively happening, slowly and under the political cover of this or that crisis, by introducing more mechanisms to move more money out of Germany), but losing a common currency would be the end of the project.
> However, you have a lot of options for using network devices or inspection software to intervene and block requests on local machines.

They already do have access to the camera through the getUserMedia APIs, and WebXR has Gaze Tracking. Even your iPhone allows camera access through the Web.

Since Jan. 27, 2013, all retailers have been allowed to charge a fee for using credit. However, there are a lot of rules which are hard for regular retailers to follow, but easy for gas stations to follow, which is why you mostly only see it at gas stations.
Yes, but there are multiple open source tools that make this easy and they have an API for it as well. I think the need to have a large monolithic platform for issues is absurd. I probably won't be using GitLab or GitHub for my next project. It totally defeats the decentralized nature of Git.
