> My point is you should be directing your criticism to government data collection practices

I agree. It's not a binary choice, though: if I rob a bank, and you drive the getaway car, I'm clearly guilty, but you share some responsibility.

The point is that there is enough culpability to go around.

It's a reasonable position to complain about a company who knowingly enables bad behaviour of a third party, even if they don't directly carry it out.
From your 2 replies I'm presuming you are a Trump defender, at least you're denying parts of reality and twisting facts so they conform to your image of the world (that he's a good, at least decent president, and that you're not an idiot for supporting him).

Sorry, the issue isn't the private conversation, the issue is that the contents of that conversation was him saying he can get away sexually assaulting women because of he's a "star". If Barack Obama was recorded saying something like that while talking to friends, would you defend him?
What are the ways to make money online during this coronavirus pandemic
The app I used was "gas cubby" recommended by a friend to keep track of my car. You could record your fillups and compute gas mileage and lots of other statistics. You could keep track of the vin, the insurance policy number, part numbers and service intervals.

I slowly put all my data into it and...

The app was sold, and one day they changed it and uploaded all my data to the cloud.

I deleted the app (and apparently all my data). what jerks.
Considering we've been retaliating tit for tat with China for awhile now, it's inevitable we'd start blocking their tech companies like they've done to Google, FB, etc. I see the list of blacklisted Chinese tech companies increasing in the near future.
You could use containers to "emulate" private mode for these windows by completely isolating them from your regular browsing data. They should survive a restart and keep you logged in afterwards. As long as you only use the container to access one site, no data should be leaked to other sites.
I don't want to be sarcastic, but, with what else can you solve problems if not with DS and Algos? Is there any other methods that we do not know of?
Or as someone posted here on HN a while ago - sqlite?
Yes, I use separate profiles. The problem is that tabs opened in a private mode are not recovered when restarting. Of course, that's the whole point of private mode, but it's very annoying to re-login all these sessions via SMS messages just for a random firefox upgrade.
You can file a lawsuit against any company that operates in the USA.
Wow, WHAT IS THIS! Those animations are just so impressive, it's incredible what people do nowadays with SVG animations (that's SVG animation, right?!).
Why are you focusing on the vulgarity of the comments and not the fact that it would be non-concensual?

> I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything.

Those very heavily imply non-consent. The vulgarity comes much later as an issue.

More so, Obama spanking his wife in bed is a hopefully consensual private act between husband and wife. Trump talking about random women, who are not his wives nor in a relationship with him as to how he just kisses them and they let him since he has the power is for one, rape, and two, cheating on his wife.

Rather different scenarios.
Except the crankshaft...

Oh, and any mechanical issues with pistons or valves in one side will jam the crankshaft, therefore stop the other half working...

And that crankshaft needs some kind of oil... And a pump to pressurize that oil. And if a leak forms anywhere the oil drains out and the crankshaft seizes. Pretty hard to lube one crankshaft with two redundant and isolated oil systems...

Overall, I'd call the engine 1.5x redundancy...
In the international company I work for we have a rule that surnames are always in all caps in employee directories. So it can be "Ryan LEE" or "LEE, Ryan" or "LEE Ryan" (in Hungary), but you know that Lee is the family name.

Before that rule was introduced, confusion was commonplace. A colleague of mine is called, say, Vyacheslav Spirin, and he signed his emails as "V. Spirin". To Indians this looked like a normal South Indian name, where "V." was the family name, so they assumed his first name was Spirin. When the same guy introduced himself in person as Slava they thought he and Spirin were different people.
I wasn't but it applies to that as well.
This looks good! Could do with more design options
Coming from Kashmir which is STILL under an internet clampdown, this is trivial.
What they did was something previously unheard of. Indian government essentially whitelisted some websites and blocked the rest. I did experiments when amazon.in domain was whitelisted but all images were blanks. Turns out they had not allowed aws.amazon.com. some time later they allowed the URL and that is when I spun up a $300 credit small instance vps using Streisand. It worked. For some time. Then they got greedy and started blocking all "ports" so this was out of question. I ended up with a stupid simple idea. No vpn, no nonsense. The VPS server running had a ipv4 address and I did simple SSH tunnel over port 80. That was what did the trick for me. There were attempts to use URL tricks, I forgot what its called.
So if anyone needs my "expert" firsthand experience can just buzz me.

Note: 4G mobile internet is still BANNED in Kashmir for "maintaining the national integrity and sovereignty of india" and other bs
Nonsense, politicians get into much more trouble for way less than that. He just doesn't know how to handle pressure - which is what he is paid well to do. Unacceptable.
Most countries have significant rules and regulations around foreign-owned corporations. Countries generally think it's important to their national security to prevent widespread foreign ownership of internal resources. But there is a trade-off where you make reciprocal deals with trusted foreign trade partners to facilitate trade and growth. Everything works smoothly when everyone plays by the same rules.

China has some of the most draconian restrictions on foreign ownership anywhere yet still gets access to foreign markets. Major US corporations are often forced to set up Chinese-majority-owned subsidiaries to operate in China and must cede huge amounts of control to the Chinese government. Time after time, this results in locals ripping off the technology of the foreign company and then the foreign company being replaced by a local company. Look at the long history of US tech startups failing in China.

The point is that whether you think this specific action is right or wrong, it's totally normal tit-for-tat geopolitics. Countries impose tons of restrictions on foreign-owned corporations. You can't even do something as simple as set up an S Corp in the US if you are foreign.
Don't forget: "Never slow down the user interface".

I have a 4K Sony television that was their flagship model when it was new, but a couple of years ago they "updated" it with a new version of its OS that looks identical but is incredibly sluggish. Not technically broken, but frustrating to use. Moving around between menu items is a good 2-3 seconds, up to 10 in some cases.

There is literally nothing I can do about this. The display panel is perfectly fine. The tuner works. The streaming works. It's not broken. It's out of warrant, so I can't evne return it.

But it feels like I've been downgraded from "flagship" to "off-brand budget TV" without any physical component ever changing.

I didn't consent to this. I didn't expect the automatic upgrade to nearly, but not quite, break my TV.

In my opinion, the reason is that Amazon, Facebook et al know their users will not receive training or persevere with poor UX or an unintuitive UI. Therefore, they have to design good software in order to be competitive.

On the other hand enterprise software implementations always include a business change element which involves lots of communication and training, especially for key users. Therefore there is less obligation for vendors to build intuitive solutions.

exactly this I was thinking about :D
I guess the problem with many Computer Assisted Proofs is that they don't explain "why" something is true, only that something is true. But if that's the best you can do, then it's certainly better than nothing.

Also, advances in CAPs can have applications outside of pure maths.

Finally, CAPs are not common enough - or viable enough in most cases - to make a dent in the practice of pure maths. At least that's the impression I get.
Came to hacker news hoping there'd be someone to explain why this is snake oil.

Chinese immigrants are the primary users in the states, and they don’t use it for any economic transactions in the USA, obviously (stores might support wepay, but that is targeted at Chinese tourists).
> just a fluke in brain that gave her a prototype math co-processor.

Would a better word of choice be "predisposition to do arithmetic"? I've been wondering the same with artists in general (painters, musicians, etc.). Would a person without the predisposition be able to practice say Piano/Vocals for years together and reach a certain level of artistry? Any reference to academic studies on this would be appreciated.

That's exactly how it's done in conservative Linux distributions like Debian or Centos. By installing Debian stable, you receive 7 years of security updates only, and nothing changes without your permission. And quality of being user-centric is common to the entire FOSS ecosystem.
It would be nice to know how reliable it is as the number of operations needed grows, since the examples shown are quite trivial.
I don't think the Constitution requires the federal government to establish a postal service. It only grants them the power to do it.
For starters, that's a totally unrelated issue from what the other poster was talking about. That is clearly a bug and not an expected behaviour.

But consider that you don't use any other household tool for 8+ hours a day, and other household tools are not designed to serve a rapidly moving target of constantly changing application needs.
What does TikTok have to do with it?

It focused on a specific niche in a specific age group in a single country, which led to it expanding exponentially to 100M users in half a year there. Growing after that is a completely different story and not what's being discussed here.
Great write up and nice setup! I’ve been running Unraid on a fast box for my local storage host and using NFS and SMB with dismal performance. I’m looking at 10gbe and building up my cache pool, but as it stands it takes 40+ seconds for my laptop to mount and browse even a small share. I’m intrigued by zfs + iSCSI- do you think it would give me some improvements over SMB?
I don't think it gets hugely better when you look at the EU. I mean, maybe it becomes possible to say some things as an EU citizen, but the differences between governance and politics in Sweden and Bulgaria are significant. Private prisons are certainly available in the (current and recent) EU. (Literal, not merely "ad") corruption is barely hidden in the east, and certainly present in the west. Indeed, an American could easily react with a measure of shock about how little Europeans care about how important a free press is to sustained democracy.

The EU does stuff, but it is far more interested in a being a trade block than a protector of liberal democracy.

Come on, this is Trump we are talking about, all form of reason and decorum was thrown out the window along time ago.

Whether he is allowed to or not is up for the courts to decide.
I used to drink regularly down the pub. After a while I got sick of putting on weight and feeling rubbish and decided to give it up. The people I drank with after a few weeks stopped calling me (because I wasn't interested in going for a drink) and I haven't spoke to them in years. They wasn't such great friends were they?

If I had friends that didn't bother with me because I wasn't on the platform (facebook) they probably wasn't worth bothering with in the first place.

You can always find an excuse as to why you keep on using these services, some odd thing that you claim you need. I just decided I wasn't going to use them anymore and stop making excuses for having to deal with companies that couldn't give a fuck about me.
There is literally a law in every country that follows the same theme. The UK has the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigatory_Powers_Act_2016)... the US uses FISA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intellig... globally there is Five Eyes and SSEUR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes) working together on information gathering & intelligence sharing which often includes another member harvesting data when local laws don't permit it.

This is not about national security. This is economic retaliation in a long brewing cold war over influence and power, backed by lobbyists who do not like being left out in the cold due to China's protectionist policies.

Call it what it is and I would be surprised if more people didn't support it. But it is becoming far too common for many aspects of politics that are driven by profit or control hiding behind the guise of national security.
I am sorry. I am not sure I understand what you mean? Could you clarify a little?

I think they serve different use cases. I love Vega-lite for exploratory analysis and for quick prototyping. You can get fantastically complex visualisations very quickly with it. But for building "production" visualisations, I think the low level approach is better: you'll get much smaller bundle sizes, you have much more control over the final look and that control tends to be expressed "naturally" rather than in convoluted configuration.

> 45k people a year die

I am not sure you are looking at the correct numbers. according to NHTSA – https://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main/index.aspx there are 1.18 fatalities per 100 millions miles driven. That means, if an individual drives 15.000 miles per year, that individual will face the possibility of dying in a fatal crash as a driver, passenger or pedestrain, once in 6666 years, so the cars and road system are extremely safe as they are today. Most of the self driving cars developers recognize this like Chris Urmson in his Recode Decode interview – “Well, it’s not even that they grab for it, it’s that they experience it for a while and it works, right? And maybe it works perfectly every day for a month. The next day it may not work, but their experience now is, “Oh this works,” and so they’re not prepared to take over and so their ability to kind of save it and monitor it decays with time. So you know in America, somebody dies in a car accident about 1.15 times per 100 million miles. That’s like 10,000 years of an average person’s driving. So, let’s say the technology is pretty good but not that good. You know, someone dies once every 50 million miles. We’re going to have twice as many accidents and fatalities on the roads on average, but for any one individual they could go a lifetime, many lifetimes before they ever see that.” – https://www.recode.net/2017/9/8/16278566/transcript-self-dri...

Ford Motor Co. executive vice president Raj Nair – “Ford Motor Co. executive vice president Raj Nair says you get to 90 percent automation pretty quickly once you understand the technology you need. “It takes a lot, lot longer to get to 96 or 97,” he says. “You have a curve, and those last few percentage points are really difficult.”
Almost every time auto executives talk about the promise of self-driving cars, they cite the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistic that shows human error is the “critical reason” for all but 6 percent of car crashes.
But that’s kind of misleading, says Nair. “If you look at it in terms of fatal accidents and miles driven, humans are actually very reliable machines. We need to create an even more reliable machine.” – https://www.consumerreports.org/autonomous-driving/self-driv...
or
prof. Raj Rajkumar head of Carnegie Mellon University’s leading self-driving laboratory. – “if you do the mileage statistics, one fatality happens every 80 million miles. That is unfortunately of course, but that is a tremendously high bar for automatically vehicle to meet.” min.19.30 of this podcast interview – http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/if_then/2018/05/self_...

What you are using is a fallacy, emotional statement done by self driving cars developers and enthusiasts in order to make people think by adopting this technology they will be part of a bigger better future, by doing essentially nothing.
There is no firewall between TikTok and Bytedance, so basically you can think of them as one company producing 2 apps, one inside China and one outside.

I thought the morons were already in management. That’s why they don’t invest in customer support, right?
Of course, Facebook has done much worse for much longer, but they're doing it for the US. And Americans are very afraid that the Chinese will eat their lunch around the world on technology too. That's why they're so clearly frantic about this.
Out of interest - did they use loons & quines in Tomintoul - I'm from Portknockie originally.

Offer both as options takes costs for development. Allow users to keep old version is insecure.
There is no point in showing facts, people here are operating under Trump's misinformation spell. They think china is in every corner trying to steal their data (of course Facebook has already done this first, but who cares).
Hence we need to develop public charging infrastructure, like has been already happening in Europe. Not a big deal. Installing chargers in apartment parking lots is even easier.
Airships used to follow 'pressure routing' which sought out air pressure gradients to slingshot them around adverse weather. Meteorology and radio broadcast of data were just sufficient in the 1920s, today it could be automated.
Yes of course, because anyone who would dare to not fill their post with detriment of the president, must in fact also support the president, contrary to any information otherwise.

Assume what you want, I don't support Trump and apparently I don't need to attract hate from others like you, not that I am in any way suprised.

>If Barack Obama was recorded saying something like that while talking to friends, would you defend him?

I wouldn't care. Not a single bone in my body would resonate emotionally with what he said, because seemingly I have the rare, esoteric knowledge of understanding that humans will talk about particularly dirty topics when they're with friends.
Pretty interesting. Basically your code is an eternal continuation, which is quite a nice persistance style (e.g. used by our universe, works pretty good). The code looks relatively nice and clean, except the hashsigns. Compiler seems simple and Candid will help quite a lot with interop and speed up the development.

Think I will enjoy trying this once its available

..which is a real shame, as there are very talented people working on public goods who don't have that "hustle" and could do with the support.

Open source / Free software has been valued over $400 billion, and supports our entire economy, funding developers shouldn't be a problem.

Open source / Free software is a public goods issue, and we should be looking for the best ways to support them.

Quadratic funding could be a useful mechanism for this:

As the Wikipedia article states, the main countermeasure to non-surveyability is to express the proof in formal logic, which can then be verified by an automated proof checker. In fact, this is exactly what the authors of the proof of Keller's conjecture have done. And likewise, the Four Colour Theorem has been verified in this way.

I don't think non-surveyability is really the issue here.
I suggest you try to get in touch with those people working in Asian sides using it as treatment. Most don't publish their results there but do use it. And you can see a significant low mortality compare to western countries that largely choose not to use it. South and Eastern Asian side has very high infection rates way more than western counterpart and yet mortality is significantly lower both in terms of absolute value or by percentage.
