We are literally talking about a county that just placed a total ban on gatherings for young people, and you’re arguing that it’s paranoid to talk about? How can it be paranoia to talk about what is literally happening? I’m not speculating about some slope we could slide down, I’m saying we’ve already slid down the slope.

I am genuinely perplexed here.

Have Processor Counts Stalled?
Over the next decade, a lot of Google data will leak, piling up in giant torrents (literally) forever on the net. Photos and emails and search histories from millions of users.

Over the next decade, downloading and storing and processing such dumps of leaked data will continue to become quicker, and require smaller devices.

Over the next decade, mobile devices will shrink, resulting in smart glasses much more powerful than today's smart phones.

Put that all together...

It's 2030 and you're walking down the street. You pass by a stranger wearing Apple Glasses.

The stranger once spent an hour installing an "Intel on Everybody!" app, and downloaded 100 TB of random leaked data from a torrent site on everyone in the world.

As you enter the stranger's view, the glasses use the leaked data to facially identify you.

Now that the glasses know who you are, they automatically alert the wearer of the types of data they know about you.

The bored stranger occupies himself by reading your gmails from 2022, perusing compromising photos you saved, checking out your medical records, reading arguments you had here in the comments of HN, etc etc.

Maybe my understanding of technology and security is wrong somehow, but that future seems awfully plausible to me.

If the downside to minimizing my footprint is that I use DDG instead of Google, the upside is worth it.
The point is that it motivates the builder to complete it in a certain amount of time, not just at some time in the future. However, that induces too much risk apparently.

In the US most contested have been for a fixed price, it's just that nobody meets that fixed price nor the schedule. And since nuclear front-loads 50 years of generation prices into the construction, Amy delay at all I'm starting service is a financial disaster.
Colorado is not like that. You have mail in ballots in CO and can register along with a driver's license. You need only one piece of mail addressed to you to do so.
Yes, we are going to add backend, but it’s more complicated, as we can’t execute the backend code in the browser.

Btw, if anyone thinks that adding backend support to Scrimba sounds like an interesting problem to work on, please let us know (per@scrimba.com) as we’re looking for new developers to join our team :)
A more healthy form of smoking, clearly. I was under the same impression until this message.
A spike in cases without a corresponding increase in deaths or hospitalizations should be a good thing, but we treat it the same as having an equivalent number of centenarians get sick.

Lots of people that don't get hospitalized are reporting significant lingering symptoms. An effective vaccine appears to be ~months away. Do either of those things matter at all?
Sorry for not making the connection clear enough. You mentioned a “compelling interest”; this is the same logic that was decided in Jacobson v Massachusetts which is the foundation for US case law regarding this topic.

My point is that this does fall under that reasoning.

There are a lot of "digestif" [0] alcoholic drinks experientially very similar to Jaegermeister, it's kind of a thing to be medicinal.

The American pracice of drinking Jaegermeister to excess I get the impression is done because it tastes so bad, like it's fun because it's so gross and we're sharing this exceptional though still mild form of suffering while getting wasted. Misery loves company as they say.

Social drinking to excess in general has always struck me as a form of shared suffering, Jaeger is just on the extreme end of emphasizing it. Very few alcoholic beverages actually taste genuinely good IMHO, unless it's a cocktail full of flavored syrup like a liquid Jolly Rancher.

I looked this up but I’m not sure I grasp your point.

Are you saying that:

- given a long string, we might ask “can this string be found in PI?”

- the probability of finding a long string in PI is infinitely small

- the number of possible strings in PI is infinitely large

- it’s not possible to decide if the answer is yes or no?
If you worry about privacy in a country with no data protection law in place, you should stay far away from anything Jio. I’ve said this before here: when Jio was announced, the company said that “data is the new oil”, indicating that what oil was to Reliance’s growth and power would be what data would be for the company from then. The company also said it would do deep packet inspection of traffic to learn more about the people on its network (you can find news reports of this online). Jio has also fought against encryption of communications.

While a cheap(er) phone may sound like a great idea in a country where many people are struggling (and more so with poorer policy decisions in the last few years), this is a deal with the devil.

People like saying that switching away from Gmail is pointless because most of the emails you send would still go to Gmail (I don’t entirely agree with this, but that’s for another post). I see it being the same with Jio very soon. It will have all your data and habits because the people you interact with are deep in its ecosystem. Beware, and stay safe!

Flavored relatively benign smoke that makes you feel light headed that I did once every blue moon, until I did it more often with better connected party friends

Even with knowing of a tobacco and nicotine component I thought the frequency of my own use once a quarter made up for it

But once I found out it was way worse than cigarettes and way unfiltered, I stopped accepting and stopped being in circumstances where it was prevalent

I didn’t have any dependence so that was easy, just a reversion to a mean for me

It was odd that American cities banished indoor smokers to Mars but indoor hookah was A-OK, no disclaimers on the things served to you, no disclosures, servers not required to say anything

> Are we going to have exclusive games requiring multiple subscriptions to enjoy the content you want?

Well, we've been living in a world where to play certain games you had to make a several hundred dollar investment into a platform. Platform exclusives have been a thing for a long, long time. To an extent only having to pay a dozen or so dollars for a month of service to get access to some exclusive game sounds a lot better than having to shell out several hundred dollars for yet another console when I've already bought three.
Well I think that's because they aren't yet an official part of the language until that proposal is accepted, and Apple is shipping them as a custom extension to Swift that they hope to remove at some point.

Edit: Also the current version of the proposal is here: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposa...
I must have a different idea of what “deep dive” means; this is simply going through the (relatively simple) motions of implementing a builder. “Deep dive”, to me, would look at how the compiler translates statements using these builders, for example, or reverse-engineering Apple’s builders for juicy information.

I’ve recently forayed into SwiftUI to see what all the fuss was. I have to say, I really feel for people just now starting to learn app development. Older Cocoa and iOS developers probably remember what actual in-depth articles look like, what “deep dives” actually are, etc. Instead, what we have is a culture of very shallow and information-light “articles”, that seems to me more like SEO bot posts trolling for clicks, rather than written for developers, by developers. And it’s not like the Sundells and Hudsons, but also NSHipster, CocoaWithLove, etc., which were traditionally where high-quality and information-rich content would come from in the past. Likewise with conferences, whereas in the past they’d invite developers to “deep dive” into and interesting development or debugging session, now they’ve devolved, for the most part, into these shallow, byte-sized “Swift” nonsenses. As if the language somehow defines the identity of the developers, and apps magically become much better as virtue of the language used, rather than the system frameworks.

Boulder has turned into the nazi town
That only works if you have unlimited amounts of unused fertile soil at the transport origin.

Western Washington has a massive excess of water but can't use this technique to "send it" anywhere... the clay-heavy soil isn't much good for industrial-scale crop production (aside from trees of course).

I think OP made that comparison because in Australia even a kid can get a pack of paracetamol for $1 over the counter at most grocery shops.
So this is basically yet another reason to not let Amazon echo/Alexa on your network.
This is government over reach. Every 18-25year old should protest it. Boulder is a totalitarian state
Why is there activity 24 hours a day? That can't be accurate?
Facebook deleted more fake accounts related to Russian intelligence services
That page's focus on ICO-style complex token allocation schemes rather than actual use cases is a giveaway.
The old saying is that Boulder is seven square miles between the mountains and reality. You can buy passports on Pearl St. to get into Boulder. It's kinda it's own little world. The next town over is Louisville, which has pretty much nothing for a 18-22 year old to do. Or Longmonth, which also has pretty much nothing to do. Denver is ~30 min away depending on traffic.

I know it's been like that for some time. In my opinion, obscuring URL, which is a central concept of the web, is very bad for UI. Thanks for the flags hint, for now I solved this and some other usability problems by switching to firefox.

Btw, I saw speculations on HN, that chrome hiding url is google's scheme to promote AMP

My first job was at a very large company where every team was required to have a Product Owner, Scrum Master, Business Analyst, QA and then however many devs were on that project.

Our product owner broke her foot one weekend and wanted to sit during Monday's standup meeting. Our scrum master demanded she either stand or leave the meeting. Arguing ensued, loudly.

I bring this up only to say, our industry, while being very progressing in some areas, also happens to be extremely dogmatic about some ridiculous concepts without really understanding them.

That problem could have been resolved via type erasure (either via `AnyView`, or, if SwiftUI had been designed differently, by having the `body` property be of type `View` rather than `some View`). In fact, opaque types (a la `some View`) were motivated by SwiftUI so that the type information could be preserved to enable the necessary optimizations/animations, without requiring users/library authors to write out/expose the complex type signatures that can arise from even simple view hierarchies.

Incidentally, if you use `AnyView` liberally you’ll likely see worse automatic animations and degraded performance [ETA: the “degraded performance” claim here appears to have been debunked—see the link below for more info!].
Actually in many Western states (Oregon for one) it is illegal to capture and store rainwater. There is one narrow and very recent exception for capture using the roof of a permitted dwelling, but if you build a pond or a lake or any kind of structure for rainwater collection purposes you are in fact breaking the law.

Water rights are bonkers-crazy.
Same everywhere else where we treat dogs like animals not members of the family.
Where has this been my whole life??
I feel like the semantic web was born out of an older way of looking at the web. One that was more about content and distribution of it rather than how it was cataloged. The old “here’s a cool way to share documents” It didn’t need a business model. But the web became something else. Googles dominance in the search business made content mold to their preferred structure, rather than a competitive industry that took content as it was presented.
I have a woodworking setup in my garage and in summer I work with the doors open. The local crows know me and come by in small groups and I’ll throw a few peanuts for them.

One time recently, my shop vac’s 20-foot hose got clogged so I took it out into the back yard to unclog with a broom pole. Took me a while, and I had to shake it vigorously quite a bit before I was done. When I looked up there were more than a dozen crows quietly perched in the tree above me, watching closely. I realize that to them it might have looked like I was fighting a huge snake to the death! Afterwards I’m sure they all took turns to come check on me (or maybe get more peanuts, but they were definitely more attentive that day).
"This is called the Sacred Cenote because the Maya performed rituals in which they burned and hacked apart offerings before tossing them into the pool."

"offerings"?

"According to post-Conquest sources (Maya and Spanish), pre-Columbian Maya sacrificed objects and human beings into the cenote as a form of worship to the Maya rain god Chaac. Edward Herbert Thompson dredged the Cenote Sagrado from 1904 to 1910, and recovered artifacts of gold, jade, pottery, and incense, as well as human remains.[2] A study of human remains taken from the Cenote Sagrado found that they had wounds consistent with human sacrifice."

The Constitution is the source code of our country. It literally describes what rights we have (edit: it is not an exhaustive list to be clear), thus why we have a document called “the Bill of Rights” which is a set of constitutional amendments that enumerate a set of rights that the government does not have the power to infringe.

So, respectfully, I actually see your confusion as a non-American; most countries don’t treat the concept of a constitution with any seriousness.

> but I don't really see "because it was decided so a long time ago" as particularly good reason to ordain something as a sacred right.

That is, again, literally how it works. For example, that is why here in the United States it is not illegal to deny that the holocaust happened, whereas in Germany or France you will get fined and thrown in jail.

Specifically Supreme Court decisions rely on precedent from previous cases; this is called Stare Decisis. Precedent is only to be overturned when clearly the wrong call was made (for example the SCOTUS decision permitting Japanese internment camps)

—-

To summarize, the genesis of America lies in the notion that we have inalienable rights that are not granted by the government but rather given by God (I think of this metaphorically since I don’t believe in a god). Thus the constitution just makes it explicit to the government that we have these rights and always did; as opposed to the government graciously extending these rights.

So in conclusion, despite the implication of your “Quran” question...yes, it really is a sacred document. Not just bevause it is the source code for our country, but because the ideas contsined within it are revolutionary and beautiful. For evidence of how revolutionary they are, I submit your (good-faith) incredulity with the entire concept :P
No system is 100% reliable, though. Some systems are close enough that we grit our teeth and pretend they are and wave away the inevitable outages that have nothing to do with our app and everything to do with an unreliable dependency.

In a way, you're better off with a 99% reliable dependency than 99.9999%. If you expect it to be down some of the time, you'll plan for it in your architecture and (in theory) gracefully handle the failure whether it's due to an insufficiency warmed container, a network issue, a bad deploy, or whatever else comes along.

I remember in 1999 when i had my first programming job while i was in the Uni. It was simple, i had a part of the software to built, i estimated how much time it was going to take and i built it. No stupid time consuming ceremonies.

I guess that the new "gamerization" has been partly caused by millennials and other contemporary generations need for constant recognition.

I think people underestimate the extent to which things like "dead code" elimination matter. Basic, table stakes optimizations like constant propagation and inlining result in a ton of scenarios like the if (0) { } thing the GP mentions, even if such constructs don't explicitly appear in the code.

People know what they don't like and so they logically suggest that this optimization should not occur, but it is hard to understand the extent by which this type of optimization is helpful in other places and perhaps how it is intertwined with other useful optimizations.
I don't know your background, but I first encountered this in either my first or second year of undergrad archaeology classes. It's definitely a well-appreciated principle.

As others have said though, it's not an appropriate evidentiary standard for declaring things publicly. That may be where the confusion is coming from.
No private data? Isn’t search personalized?
I think there's some value in that tooling for building the apps, but for IAPs Apple's not doing anything more than payment processing. There's nothing special or difficult about processing an IAP and there would be a line of competitors around the block to do it for <5% if they were allowed to.

If anything I think most people (at least where I live in Colorado) are getting significantly more exercise. Everyone is outside biking, hiking, running, paddling, fishing, etc. They may not be doing a Pilates class or on a treadmill, but are exercising none the less. And with no endless stream of school events and kids sports, I can go hiking every day after work if I want. I've never spent this much time outside since I was probably 12 years old.
I'm so blown away by the clarity of speech! After hearing him talk like that, hearing the normal bird noises almost sounds strange, like a human mimicking a bird, or like he's gotten impatient and wants us to understand his native language.

You can already sign up, create casts, add them to a playlist, and share it with your students. That won’t cost you a dime.

However, the current version of Scrimba isn’t really tailored for this B2B use-case, as I can imagine you’d want to be able to follow students’ progress and perhaps even get assgnments from them?
Since the current thread of discussion is operating under the assumption that it's a false claim, under DMCA, and a counterclaim has been correctly filed, the US Copyright Office summary certainly seems to say otherwise. What is your reading of their statement?

"If the subscriber serves a counter notification complying with statutory requirements, including a statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed or disabled through mistake or misidentification, then unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the subscriber, the service provider must put the material back up within 10-14 business days after
receiving the counter notification."

The UK government has said it is hoping to undo the Human Rights Act.

It seems too many people dislike the idea of human rights now, especially rights for "criminals".

So I wouldn't be surprised if the ECHR has no standing in the UK by the time Mr Assange could do with its services.
Why do people let Vox lecture them in their arrogant way? I haven't listened to the additional lecture part, so not sure what they go into.

Pigs are way smarter than dogs.

Dogs are a very gamey meat and are expensive.

In Asia they only eat it rarely for special occasions or health. It costs to much.

I'm not a big fan, but maybe if I had it more it'd become an every day meat like pig. But I think not. They are not bred to be eaten. They are carnivores. And bred to look emotional to humans.

What interesting with this restaurant dog thief article to me is they are poor, but they do it for beer. People need something in life to live for.

Not in this case I presume, unless German investors are that daft. They crashed from an IPO price of almost 40 to a 50+ price, but are currently trading at 18. Not to mention, this action seems like a betrayal of trust to any investor. Investors usually don't understand business models but I'm assuming a significant number do understand how to read into profitability data.
If "government approved" is the line you are worried about, take a look at driver's licenses and food selling.
I get why that would be someone's reaction. Unfortunately there's no way for me to explain what concerns me about the way things are going that doesn't make me sound like a prat :(

As outlandish as my comment may come off, all the pieces (maybe aside from Google leaking data) leading to such a future are conventional takes. As far as big companies leaking data, it's not that it happens every day, so much as it is the cumulative nature of leaks: each leak adds to the pile.
