That is likely a concern not shared by most teenagers. Installing 5 new apps a day to try them out is a complete non-issue for most people.
This is the same kind of self destructing thinking that has the US on the ropes right now.

So much of our society has rules and penalties because people are not very good at "exercising prudence". Instead we ask experts to think carefully about problems and set limits around what we should do so that we can all get along in a safe and peaceful society.

We don't allow doctors to practice surgery without a license and training. We don't allow tall buildings to be built without approvals. We mandate that a restaurant kitchen must be reasonably clean.

We need to have faith in our societies ability to set and review these rules and limits. If we can't trust the experts and the public servants we employ to enforce the rules, then we need to ask why not?

What we should _not_ do, is just blow off expert advice because its inconvenient or because somebody on Fox News told us to.
I think many observers are missing the point here. It is not merely that Facebook can weather the big spenders leaving their platform (which may also be true).

Imagine Biden becomes the next president. There will be far less outrage porn in a year or two, which would be very bad for Facebook. In other words, less outrage porn = less engagement. Less engagement = less advertisers. Even if the big companies make only 6% or so of their revenue, a 50% drop in engagement will be a tremendous loss for Facebook. Unlike Google ads, which are a function of economic activity, Facebook's ads are not based on search intent. I suppose they could be called more a function of people's psychology and need to engage with social media. So without sufficient levels of engagement, Facebook will lose a lot of money very quickly.

On the other hand, if Trump becomes president again, he will be less likely to significantly curb Twitter, since he needs it really badly. And he is more likely to go after the other social media platforms. At that point he wouldn't even be running for re-election again, so he can act as pettily as he wants and do a lot of showmanship to please his base. Facebook wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of his ledger.

Lastly, there are only a few months to go until the election. The likely damage in that short time span is far smaller than the possible benefits.

Facebook is just hedging its bets here.
It looks like all the different attempts of analogies overwhelm real discussion of of the effects of the bill.

Why do we need all these analogies? Why not discuss real-life repercussions and pros cons of the choices before us, and based on that, decide what society we would rather live in?
There’s a scam hiding behind Google’s search results
This is a bit concerning that for a company with a marketing so focus on privacy, you guys thought it was a good idea to have such a service.

Nobody in the company at any point thought that it could be a problem?

Your strict privacy policy mean nothing by the way, because you are a USA company and you must respect your local laws such as the patriot act, which are not very privacy friendly.
"Employed" is maybe shorthand for "probably has a place to stay , can afford to eat and can travel to work"..? Longer term, underemployment has its own set of issues. But unemployment is a more urgent problem.
I don't really find this argument convincing because it was plenty easy to publish your own webpage. I did it at 9/10 years old and I don't want to believe that your average adult has less capability than a child.

I think we're doing a disservice by infantilizing people.
I actually feel quite accomplished to be less than <50% off without ever having the slightest interest in reading their financial reports.

So the iPad Pro's USB-C port in its current and previous generations immediately refutes GP.

> Taking it so literally, to the point of downvoting, is definitely not in the spirit of "strongest plausible interpretation".

Discussion about down votes is also in contradiction with the HN guidelines. I prefer we didn't start quoting the guidelines, though; that only detracts further.

Making an assertion in contradiction with the truth isn’t an opinion, it’s just flat out false. People can react how best they see fit, and some have chosen to downvote, possibly because they think a false assertion doesn’t meaningfully contribute; others like me prefer to leave a comment.

But complaining about downvotes isn’t a useful contribution either. I just felt, again, like commenting.

Point is GP was wrong. Value judgements about how many ports Apple puts in its laptops is entirely superfluous to that point.
Ask HN: How do I solicit reviews for an encryption scheme?
The encryption scheme is for a data creation, organization, and sharing cloud service with end-to-end encryption.

> The service is private as we do not collect any personal information

This sentence is 100% meaningless. I understand you have good intentions, but these things must rely on proof, never on trust. Either you get this information or you don't; whether you say you "collect" it is inconsequential.
> 2. People who are made unemployed by the pandemic who transition into a tech career become recruiter fodder, and will eventually join the candidate pool. That's what I'm talking about, not the sum of all unemployed people.

I really don't think the a significant portion of burger flippers have suddenly decided that a CS degree or pay for an expensive technical bootcamp is what they want to do. As far as I can see, the people losing their jobs are not in the educated class. A lot of them didn't go to college, did go to poorly rated schools, and are underachievers.
Chrome, according to my understanding, hardcodes a few favicon URLs for builtin search engines, and caches everything else on site visit. There's SQLite3 database named Favicons in your profile directory (e.g. on macOS it's ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/<Profile>/Favicons). Here's the schema:

CREATE TABLE meta(key LONGVARCHAR NOT NULL UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY, value LONGVARCHAR);
CREATE TABLE icon_mapping(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,page_url LONGVARCHAR NOT NULL,icon_id INTEGER);
CREATE TABLE favicons(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,url LONGVARCHAR NOT NULL,icon_type INTEGER DEFAULT 1);
CREATE TABLE favicon_bitmaps(id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,icon_id INTEGER NOT NULL,last_updated INTEGER DEFAULT 0,image_data BLOB,width INTEGER DEFAULT 0,height INTEGER DEFAULT 0,last_requested INTEGER DEFAULT 0);
CREATE INDEX icon_mapping_page_url_idx ON icon_mapping(page_url);
CREATE INDEX icon_mapping_icon_id_idx ON icon_mapping(icon_id);
CREATE INDEX favicons_url ON favicons(url);
CREATE INDEX favicon_bitmaps_icon_id ON favicon_bitmaps(icon_id);

I haven't looked at Firefox and Safari but I assume they do something similar.
I believe this is misunderstanding how the entitlement works. My belief is that you submit the list of SSIDs to Apple at the time of app review and it can only be changed with an update. I don’t think there’s any support for a dynamic list.

Unfortunately I can't even remember the author's last name and LinkedIn isn't helping. Let me ask around.
Nostalgia factor is very real, but I don't think it captures just how novel the internet was. Communicating en masse across the world had never happened in human history. And it made you feel like an explorer of an alien planet, at least until one too many "under construction" pages of the night.

So yes, Space Jam site itself was less about wowing, but gave a feeling of interacting with its creators on a more intimate level than other movie marketing. They were using the same tools that any one of us could do ourselves, unlike the millions spent on the movie. The Space Jam site looked much like dozens or hundreds of others from hobby coders or engineers in their free time.

And for me it's more melancholy than fun now, because it reminds me of that feeling of unbounded optimism that the early internet had.
I'm not talking about capping in the woods, just needing other people for things is a great way to experience the world: having to go to a restaurant or store to get food, go to a motel to sleep, etc.

Like poor neighborhoods have so much more community than rich ones because people genuinely need each other to get by. When you're completely independent and don't need anyone, I think you've lost one of the things that gives life its value.
From Wikipedia.
" In 2018, the autobahn rate of 1.7 fatality per billion traveled kilometer is less secure than both the French one at 1.4 per billion traveled kilometers, and the British one at 1.4 fatalities per vehicle-miles traveled[27]. This means the risk of fatalities per traveled vehicle kilometer is 20% higher in Germany than in France, and near 92% higher than in the UK. "
Turmeric and especially its most active compound curcumin have many scientifically-proven health benefits, such as the potential to prevent heart disease, Alzheimer's and cancer. It's a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and may also help improve symptoms of depression and arthritis.

If I were FB I’d be more worried about this:

Spending time on FB is deeply unpleasant. I finally deleted my account because I realized I hated spending time on it, and that outweighed any potential to communicate with long lost friends.
This seems a little low value. It needs to be shorter for one. I don't really get their point about Color genomics. This company offers DTC a product which genetics labs already do everywhere. There are a lot of available resources for interpreting the results of BRCA1&2 testing. It seems silly to claim they 'have a moat'. They just started at the moment that Myriad Genetics lost its monopoly on the gene. They are offering cheap testing which must be subsidised by venture funding - I know this because Color charges less for the test than not-for-profit companies.
In a prior job I was tasked with building a REST API client for a closed source vendor product in this space as part of project to replace an existing system. Data need to be captured from a dozen on-prem databases that supported other vendor applications and then pushed into this new system using the client I built.

Sadly, the vendor provided scanned copies of JIRA user-stories as documentation of their app's API. Despite much struggling, the vendor wouldn't implement even the most basic auto-generated documentation for their API (Swagger). Bugs filed against their product regularly had a 3 month turn around time.

If there were an open source product in this space I could have forked it, made the changes I needed, submitted a pull request and then escalated it with management to get it mainlined by the vendor.

We were their only client for this product and they needed us to implement their system as an example of success so they could make further sales. But their secrecy made good-faith efforts at building integrations with their product extremely difficult. This might have been survivable if the vendor was good at communicating.

Alas this project just got delayed for another year after it was discovered by one of my old coworkers that the new system wasn't calculating property taxes correctly. If we had taken the vendor at their word this would have not been discovered and incorrect taxes may have gone out. Nobody loves taxes, but people rightfully hate it when their local government makes preventable mistakes.

Open source software in this space would reduce the rate of errors made in these scenarios and allow the public to verify the correctness of the system that taxes their property. As a bonus the cost of developing these systems could be spread across multiple local governments who each employ their own developers, rather than each group struggling through this process on their own once a decade.
All the news doesn't have to be serious. Hope you didn't miss the WSJ's reporting on Theranos which potentially saved lives by exposing Theranos' fraudulent lab tests.
Most esoteric arguments I have seen end up being where both parties think they know something about the rules but have different, non-overlapping areas of the rules they remember (and even then, only vaguely).

Most of the time people stick to some subset of the rules they have seen used before, but every now and then they get annoyed when someone else seems to be taking some liberty and they challenge it; at best this is because they have some vague memory of that being wrong, but more often it is because it feels like it should be wrong.

(My favorite example of this was one time I saw an eight hour long meeting get ground to a halt as the chair of a student government asked the supporting staff member to "do me (her) a solid" and search their old minutes to see what they did the last time they had this same argument, as they had all determined later that whatever they had done was wrong.)

On the "parliamentarian"... if you even have a "parliamentarian" (omg lol) you probably are in the category of group where Robert's Rules of Order might have even been designed. Most governments (not by area serves but by count; these are all the small districts and cities) are at most five elected or appointed board members, and they have access to a city/general manager and maybe (if they can afford the luxury), a lawyer. (My government decided we can afford access to a lawyer every other meeting. I have seen many governments that never have lawyers available during meetings.) The idea that any of the governments I am a part of would have access to a "parliamentarian" feels just absurd to me... :(.

("Source": I am an elected government official who was further elected by all of the local special districts to serve on the meta-government that creates, modifies, and destroys other governments; and I am further the kind of person who then--with glee--attended both the big annual conferences for my kind of government as well as of all of the meta-governments to talk about all of the different kinds of government ;P. I work with a lot of governments, and I'm seeing everyone migrating to Rosenberg's Rules of Order.)
flash games, especially later ones, had this too.
Why would type erasure hurt performance? Certainly expressiveness is curtailed due to Java's generics design (or lack thereof), but I wasn't aware of any performance implications.
I would guess because of the trademark: keeping a bunch of static HTML files around is not much cost otherwise, and certainly gathers some attention like this post on HN indicates.
I was surprised to find a great example of a site like this recently, "How to Care for Jumping Spiders": https://kozmicdreams.com/spidercare.htm , which is part of someone's broader personal home page with random bits of art, photography, and a guestbook(!). The geocities-esque design bowled me over with nostalgia... the header is an image map!!
I've used most of the arguments against 'nothing to hide' mentality mentioned in this thread, and guess what: most of the people still don't care enough to change a single one of their bad privacy habits. Their eyes glaze over, or they think you are just overly dramatic or a conspiracy thinker, or "I'm not that important" or "Small chance it happens to me", "I trust the government" (when it comes to encryption), etc. Some friends and family I educated in length, and still they are not even willing to e.g. switch their Samsung browser to FF, or install an ad-blocker.

The concept of privacy and the consequences of not having it are too abstract for them. It is like saying that climate change will lead to disaster unless we all act now. They will only act after something bad happens to them personally.
I think another part is that subtle and mild flavors are harder to get clean and consistent. Bold flavors can mask variances and problems.
I have done the same. I only follow people I could have a beer with. I have reached the end of my feed so many times. Now there are maybe 1-5 new posts a day. Nobody uses Facebook anymore.

Researcher forced to resign over study showing no bias in police shootings
Which boils down to my tax dollars being used to fund private religious schools. I believe in separation of church and state. My tax dollars should in no way be funding proselytizing and indoctrination
I wouldn't call that full at all. That matrix doesn't show full support for any of the listed SoCs, and some of them are missing some pretty critical things IMO.

And other things raise big red flags for me, like:

> sunxi-musb driver lacks DMA support (with current driver, USB gadgets are limited to PIO, limiting speed to 10MiB/s and causing large CPU)

That... seems like a pretty big deal for anyone who wants to do anything with USB.

It's also telling that it appears that all the upstreaming efforts seem to be community-driven, which is an even bigger red flag to me; the main page of the wiki you linked calls out Allwinner for their hostile attitude toward open source and the GPL[0]. It's fantastic that such a community has formed and works hard to fill in the gaps, but I'm not sure I want to (for example) build a NAS out of an OrangePi when I'm not confident that in 5-10 years I'll be able to run a future-current OS and kernel on it.

The RPi's support isn't perfect, and not everything has been upstreamed, but most of the critical components are, and everything else is either in progress or at least has an out-of-tree open source driver.

[0] Not that Broadcom wins any points here...
This is the correct answer. We all remember "Do No Evil" and have been around long enough to see that sentiment die. Don't go down this path.
Simple Intel Platform – a Dockerized threat intelligence platform
Yes, Burbank.

Here's another one - Solaris had a 2GB file size limit (this was before ZFS). Which isn't as crazy as it sounds now - hard drives were 9GB at the time. So ordinarily this wasn't a problem, but when the first Harry Potter movie came out, harrypotter.com (which was being served off the same server as spacejam.com) was the most popular website on the internet and the web server log would hit the 2GB limit every couple hours and we would have to frantically move it somewhere and restart the process.
> de-bias a dataset

And what does this get you? Let's look at a face recognition dataset. What happens when you debias it? Is it still useful? No. Because the faces no longer resemble real faces.

> These experts are just wrong, then

Perhaps, but you aren't making a strong case for that.

> There are lots of use cases for cheap, scalable, low precision models.

That involve facial recognition?

> Right, but we cannot fix the bias in a human

We don't need to. We just need to fix the bias in the system. And we absolutely can incrementally reduce bias in systems that involve humans.
What is the reason for US only if the positions are remote?
You’re just swapping a different set of e/I sounds then.

English pronunciation is a mess.
Ask your political conformist, "So I'll give you $20 for a copy of your tax return, your birth certificate, financial acct numbers, and passwords. There's a guy I know who said he'd pay me if I could get them from you, and I'm willing to split it with you."
If the above RAM figures are correct (⅕ ram for native), and of JIT performance is 20% faster than native, then I’m pretty sure that it’s cheaper to add 20% more CPU than 5x more RAM. Especially now that we are talking Gravitons and chiplets.
> So much of our society has rules and penalties because people are not very good at "exercising prudence".

Speak for yourself.

> Instead we ask experts to think carefully about problems and set limits around what we should do so that we can all get along in a safe and peaceful society.

That's a nice myth, but it's not the reality. The reality is that governments use this power for purposes that have nothing to do with a safe and peaceful society.

> We need to have faith in our societies ability to set and review these rules and limits.

Sorry, but the track record of governments and "experts" is way too poor to justify any such faith.

> If we can't trust the experts and the public servants we employ to enforce the rules, then we need to ask why not?

And what if the answer is that either there simply are no actual experts in the problem domain, or there is no way for any actual experts to credibly communicate their expertise, because of principal-agent problems, conflicts of interest, and other inconvenient realities?

Because that is in fact the answer in most problem domains that are relevant to public policy.

> What we should _not_ do, is just blow off expert advice because its inconvenient or because somebody on Fox News told us to.

What we should also not do is treat people as experts just because they say they are. We should demand a track record of accurate predictions. Most so-called "experts" don't have one. That's just as true of the talking heads on CNN or MSNBC as the ones on Fox News.
