> how can you see their comment

Go to your profile and ensure you have showdead set to yes.

> assert they have been shadowbanned

See https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=mpolun and check out how many of their comments are showing as dead in combination with the contents of said comments. (The step above about setting showdead to yes might be required before you follow said link in order to actually see the dead comments). Almost every single one of the dead comments is contributing to the conversation. This is indicative of a shadow ban. HN users would not be downvoting the vast majority of these comments I think.
I wonder if the PIC could drive an actual S100 bus so you could plug boards into it?
> But can’t those basically be considered part of the operating system at this point?

That's exactly why I switched because the idea that I can't disable Play Services is bonkers. It does look like MicroG (open-source replacement) is maturing a lot recently though!

> I can’t disable Apple frameworks on my iPhone either. Mind, iOS of course does less user tracking.

Apple makes their money up front by me purchasing the device. That's why they're expensive. They are a hardware company.

Whenever you use an iOS feature for the first time, you are prompted with a privacy policy statement that is presented in both a summary and a long form to be read before you click agree. And they have an icon that they show you whenever data will leave your device.

With them being the forward about it, I trust it way more.

If you don't believe me, go and read this[0] privacy policy on (arguably) the creepiest feature that Apple provides you (Siri).

Some quotes from it:

> Siri Data is associated with a random, device generated identifier. This random identifier is not linked to your Apple ID, email address, or other data Apple may have from your use of other Apple services.

> Siri Data and your requests are not used to build a marketing profile, and are never sold to anyone.

That immediately hits me differently from Google's policy (I read it a long while ago now), and it makes me view Apple with enough of a positive light to make the ecosystem jump.

My understanding is the quizzes were just viral Facebook apps to get API authorizations which back then let you download a lot of friends' basic data.

Simple scraping would get you a lot of the same data back then but it would be more involved and less solid legally. CA just figured out an easy way to do a huge scrape of Facebook.

I'd be surprised if many other organizations out there aren't sitting on similar datasets.

Even without asking any psychometric questions you could easily seed this through the dataset based on just a few examples or ground truths. This part seems rather unspectacular. With all the likes you can already tell who's alike. You just need to label the clusters.

CA's sell was this data would allow them to target super precisely and send different messages to different groups. But there's a big bottleneck at message creation. If you have 10 ads you can only target 10 groups uniquely. I'd be much more impressed if CA actually had software to manage ad creation, placement and performance tracking.
Not sure how popular VR is with simracers. Earlier this summer there where a rallycross series where some of the top racers did race against simracers and almost none did use VR. Also when you see from professional real life racers practice using games they use rigs with several screens and a seat that moves, not VR.
They are cute.
For those in the know, if I'm running something on my own that may only at any given moment see in the few hundreds of people using it, what's the best approach in terms of server-side infrastructure to support WebRTC apps? Is there any SaaS offering that has a meaningful product?
It's like people voting for Trump.

Having seen how easily the electorate can be manipulated and how dumb people are, I've been seriously questioning democracy lately.
The payment is authorized by the author (i.e. his PP account wasn't stolen), the whole thing being a scam is irrelevant and PayPal shouldn't be the judge here (if you got scammed and send some physical items to the scammer, can you ask the post office to take it back?)

PayPal does have a 6 month purchase protection policy in many cases. So... maybe, if you manage to argue that this was a purchase that you're entitled to protection for. But that's a different channel and probably a different physical department at the company.
Sounds like a good ~2050 startup, a company that plugs volcanoes to sell green credits for underwater server farms ;)
I feel like this is the logical conclusion of any energy conversation.

So what if we make a breakthrough with fusion power? We will all die from heat exhaustion caused by the arse end of AC units bringing about the heat death of the Earth.
According to the abstract,

> The alternative theory that the virus may have come from a research laboratory is, however, strictly censored on peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Therefore it's unlikely that this paper will be peer-reviewed. And who would be willing to risk their career to go against the consensus (or dogma?) which has already emerged? Certainly if it were peer-reviewed, the only ones willing to do so could only damage its credibility by their status.
Some people choose nosql alternatives because they've spent time analyzing the performance of a proper relational model and have determined that an RDBMS will generate too much overhead for their data load and consciously accept the tradeoffs involved in giving up automated referential integrity.

Most people, though, choose nosql alternatives because they're too lazy to learn how to model data.
We are doing an open core model. At some point in the future, we'll have an enterprise edition.

The philosophy I've heard (maybe from Hashicorp?) is that the core should solve the data problem and the enterprise edition should solve organizational problems. So the source and destination and the syncing data and all that will stay in the core. At some point, we can do single-sign on, change, change management, GDPR support, compliance, etc in the enterprise version.
If you have never contributed to a properly managed GPL codebase, you might be surprised the kinds of things you will be asked to do. More it the point, it most certainly isn't a right that you can contribute however you want to whatever project you want. Projects have constraints. Some people can _never_ contribute to Emacs because of the other code bases they work on (e.g. Chez Scheme). If you happen to be one of the folks who can, then in a sense, it is a privilege that reflects your freedom from other constraints.
The only way they are getting exposed is because they are public. There are countless Nikolas with vaporware getting hundreds of millions in VC funding, don't deceive yourself. Just look at how far WeWork was able to go until they had to go public, that public scrutiny is what eventually did them in.
Thank you for sharing. This is awesome! It looks like they replace Google Play Services with MicroG and so this is (fairly truly) a full de-Google'd phone. I might try to flash this on my old phone sometime soon. :)
Perhaps they can be paired with seaweed farms to improve growth rate; feed the seaweed to cattle to reduce methane.
Well I'm not willing to provide any proof of my identity, so you have no reason to take what I say as legitimate. Indeed, I've seen lengthy posts of utter nonsense from others who claimed to work at CA.

Usually, even the generally available facts are a lot better than most people's understandings of the situation. For example, most people seem to think that this scandal proved that Facebook sell their user data, whereas it actually is alleged that CA took advantage of the well-documented public API that Facebook used to have, where any app vendor could download data on friends of friends who had given permissions to the app.

If you have specific questions, I would be happy to point you in the right direction.
If you want to get a job you’ll likely need IB anyway. The core of SwiftUI is small enough right now that you can look into it on the side and wait another year for it to mature.
Off topic - but thank you so much for org mode!
And then you have laws and regulations for what is a valid offset.

Its not like this is a new problem - regulation of markets for fake goods has been a thing for a long time.
Understanding Btrfs Internals
Yes, be careful conflating numeric data with data that looks numerical. IDs fall into the latter for sure. Unless you have complete control over it, then it might always be numeric.

E.g. back when I thought I was super smart, on one project I made the credit card cvv a number. Except they can start with 0. Whoops.
iPhones sell massively well though, to the point where it would be a big loss if Apple went to another company for their screens. You just can't screw with a company the size of Apple without consequences. It's not like they'd go "oh no, no more iPhone now I guess :'(" if Samsung decided not to sell them screens anymore.

The problem is more with smaller companies that could be destroyed before they even get a chance to compete. Those can be bullied pretty easily by a company the size of Samsung.
Did GM pay Nikola cash for its investment? Or is it offsets against e.g. purchases of GM batteries?
To build real motivation for start-up founders not to commit fraud, they would have to be persecuted even when they succeed. But now, if you push through and eventually prevail, everybody wins and nobody cares; may be some former competitors who tried to play it right, but now they're history and have no leverage. Who's going to go after Facebook for their previous shenanigans? Unlike Nikola, their early investors are quite happy.

And as long as that's the case, people crazy and risky enough to become startup founders will never be persuated not to do it.
In the case of technical books, I have found that pricing is not that different from digital to physical books.

This is a good example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1449373321/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_qQ8...

It is $29.99 for Kindle and Physical is $34.91.
This graph is showing a fall by about another half by 2030 for Lithium Ion

What if there is a different battery technology (not Hydrogen) that allows another half or more fall? Could still be a long ways to go..
There's a direct correlation between learning theoretically (a.k.a. old fashion reading) and the eureka moment when you KNOW you are an expert in something. Yes, the experience is crucial, but as Pasteur said "chance favours the prepared mind".
Apple has been using system registers for years already. AMX is interesting because it's actual instruction encodings that are unused by the spec.

Interested in the opportunity.. I would like to talk with you
I use Spotify for 95% of my listening. Their ability to sync songs that aren't on Spotify though is pretty bad, and that's why I used Play Music. There are just some albums/bands that I want to listen to that aren't easily available without having the raw MP3 somewhere.
Wow. Never gave up!
My reasoning would be that hydroelectric plants dam up the water and the water at the lower levels of the reservoir is that which spins the turbines (and is released). I would imagine the "original" depth of the water being discharged has a non-trivial impact on downstream river temperatures - though I lack any and all qualifications necessary to say this with any degree of certainty.
The problem back then I guess was there’s no feedback loop and a limit to the propaganda you can produce.
Facebook Is Turning a Blind Eye to Global Political Manipulation
Fraud is about intent. They intended to defraud, that's the salient fact.
Vim has Org-mode, but it is very "shallow", compared to Emacs one. What makes Org-mode (and Emacs in general) so great is Lisp. I believe it is Lisp that allowed some crazy text manipulations and other tricks that would be significantly more difficult to build and maintain in another environment, using a different (non-lispy) language.

I love Vim (as an idea) and I embraced Lisp (as an idea). I learned that Emacs could do everything that Vim does and even more and better. And just like I can't even type anymore without using vi-bindings, I can't imagine my life without Emacs. Emacs has all the facilities to (re)use and implement nice ideas. The other way around is not always easily possible.

You cannot cook shrimp pasta if you don't have any shrimp, it's going to be just regular pasta. The secret ingredient of Org, Magit and many other great Emacs packages is Lisp. And there's no Lisp environment better than Emacs.
It varies from person to person. Many people are legitimately miseducated about topics like China, communism, etc. and buy into the absurd "comic book villain" canards because that is all that Western corporate media exposes them to.

However, others come from a genuine belief in Western (white Anglo) racial/political supremacy and see the peaceful rise of China as an existential threat to that concept of supremacy and Western civilization. Which is equally absurd.
The article suggested that it was more than just a video at issue. Milton said. "This thing fully functions and works, which is really incredible."

I'm a beginner in elisp (and tbh in programming in general) but would like to help.

For me pull request model is much more natural than mailing lists and patches. It doesn't matter at all if its GitHub, GitLab or (my personal preference as it's lightweight, open source and easy to use) Gitea (interestingly it's not present in comparison on https://forgeperf.org). I don't even know how to make PR on sourcehut and can't find any tutorial.

Of course I will try to learn in order to help org but the entry barrier is much higher than for Git(Lab/Hub/ea).

EDIT: I just found orgmode code on Gogs here:
https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode

That's great! I'll register and try to help soon!
Mabye it should be more visible and linked in docs (I'll... make a PR I suppose? :)

Hate to go down this road, but JavaScript is anything but slow. What is slow is the layer upon layer of complexity + poor coding of many web apps. That's not an exclusive problem to JavaScript.
57k seems a bit steep for an Aston Martin product that doesn't actually drive you anywhere. Fancy looking as it may be, I don't see how any enthusiast can't make a similar or better version of this.

Unless there is something I'm missing, this product doesn't add any real value over any other sims besides the brand's "cool" value and a sleek snowmobile looking design.

I'm also much more cognizant of the time lost by committing to another 30-60 minute episode vs. a few minutes for another YT video.

But it does seem like some sort of regulation might be required to give consumers some control over dark patterns (i.e. force them to include settings to turn things like auto-play off).
It isn't remotely my scene but influcers arguably along with photoshopped appearances to subsitute for "beauty" and that goes back to MySpace angles at the very least as it got more "real person non-academic orn work" vs "on the internet nobody knows you are a dog". Some "accomplishments" like travel or climbing Mtm Everest by ignored paid sherpa escort squad were made cheaper and more accessible with airline travel.

This is a great addition to the product. Ive been working on adding repl.it to our toolbox. Is there sone kind of plan that would support a grassroots group like ours? I specially like the ability to have classrooms as we are teaching more and more every week.
That is what the comment is saying: will this work like one of Musk's "successes" or like one of Musk's "failures".
As a consumer, I enjoy and pay for human curated content. Maybe publishers just need to ride out the analytic craze.
Seriously. I read "The intelligent investor" a few years back and it was striking how the original author was using examples from 1921 that read like they happened last week. For all the innovation in the rest of finance, investor psychology has really not changed that much.
That's why Stackoverflow or this very site exists.
I think you are approaching the "niche" part a bit wrong. You should create a business in a niche you are very familiar with, not to try randomly finding a niche. It's very hard to help a niche you don't understand. Just look at the things you do in your life (work, hobbies, health, education, sport, etc) and see what needs improvement.
As of their last earnings report Nikola had almost exactly $700M in cash / cash equivalents. Maybe GM just wants that :)
Yeah, could've been cut down to a list of steps and tips. I disagree too. Give it 3 months, not three years..
That's a good enough reason to pull it out, replace/upgrade the equip, and drop it back in with the new setup (new sources of energy), and if they get the whole thing to transmit wireless-ly with a 1% failures per 2 years (8 out of the 855 servers) then it's a truly set-and-forget thing. And they can be bringing them up every 2-5-10 years to replace/upgrade the HW and drop it back in.
That was the point. Despite London being a much larger population center with much higher cost of living, engineers are still paid more in Detroit.
Well the good news is that historically we've been more progressive than it takes for people to die. It is still a slow process, but it is clear that cultural change isn't happening because old people die and young people with new ideas replace them.
Signal on iOS blocks even local backups, FYI.

Similar reactions from me. Every other day we see articles those focus on these things. Significantly nothing new; in fact I cringed at some moments. I guess I/we are not the target audience.

For cultural impact: Nope. It's gonna stay in people's mind few days. Then again back to normal.
Since parent comment was deleted here is my answer anyway:

I would say from personal experience, contractor earning 600 quid/day in London is more of an outlier than the norm, unless he is more like Principle level and working for FAANG type companies.

Your answer answers a question similar to mine but not quite what I was asking.

You take people A and B, person A lives in London, rents studio in the city centre, works as mid level engineer in a regular bank. Person B lives in Austria, rents studio in the city centre, works as mid level engineer in a regular banks. Who will have more money left after bills, food, taxes etc? Numbeo suggests that what you said is incorrect, as I pointed above but you might absolutely be right as well.

"Compare that to the likes of Monzo and Austria is at least 15 years behind." Many Monzo features(for example instant notifications when card is used) are not present in many, if not majority of UK banks.
With longer time spans compared to regular folks who don’t have the multicentennarian means, these people would accumulate more wealth and more power and would distort power imbalance even further (think the disparaging “boomer” remark but make it “multi cent”.
Investors are supposed to conduct their own due diligence which could include talking to the engineers or setting up a demo under mutually agreed conditions at which point the difference between "in motion" and "driving" would be uncovered.

It's definitely not a good look though.
We do. Gitlab or Gitea are FOSS (the first one partially, the other fully I think).
I like it so much when a project tells you its limitations in the front page, and compares itself with (and points to) possible alternatives in a useful fashion; it should be standard! But is always awesome! THANK YOU!!
Well, that depends on how you define "the Great Filter" I suppose. For many it's attempting to explain why intelligent civilizations are rare, rather than why Kardashev type 2+ civilizations are rare. Of course, if you strictly define it as "the thing that makes it look like intelligent civilizations are rare" I guess that would also work... I just rarely get the impression that this is what people are referring to.
That's a good question, the only thing I could find (and take it with a grain of salt) was that Trump spent $5 per vote compared to Clinton's $10 per vote if you assume all the money they raised was spent. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-spending/at-...

It is interesting to think of campaign efficiency (or propaganda efficiency lol) as CPV (cost per vote) to make it parallel to advertising metrics like CPC and CPI.
the phrase "potentially illegal" makes no sense to me.

I can claim that your comment is "potentially illegal" ..means nothing.

> There have been Congressional hearings on it in the US. There have been numerous lawsuits.

doesn't mean its illegal. Its just politics to discredit opposition's election victory.

This is equivalent to "hillary's emails" which also had lawsuits and congressional hearings. Now no one cares about it. Same with CA, no one will hear about it once democrats win.

> where is the smoke surrounding Obama's use of data?

There isn't because republicans didn't think it would be politically useful like "hillary's emails".
Saying that "both use Metal and have layers in between therefore they are largely at the same place" doesn't really work, because the abstraction layer that they expose is at a vastly different place and the internal pipeline for both is also very different.

Huh?

Creating a data model before creating a database, is like writing an outline before writing an essay. It organizes your thoughts and gives structure to what you are about to do. Once you have a data model, you can then implement it using whatever database technology you choose.

If you don't start with a data model, you literally don't know what you are doing.
