I don't see why people aren't rioting in the streets about this, apart from the fact that there are currently bigger issues already occupying rioters. It's seriously beyond the pale.

Doesn't your body already have built in sensors to provide this information?
Yeah, apparently "paying too much for services they don't fully use" isn't "harm" to Google. I doubt they'd see it that way if they were on the other end.
Doesn't everyone cheat on their wife secretly? Otherwise it's not even cheating.
Anyone with a modicum of sense will just ignore these laws and act in accordance with their best judgment. History is full of examples of bullshit regulations.

All these "not marketed as such" stories are thin veils. Those of us actually deep in the homebrew community know that these commercial devices always come with features explicitly and only useful for piracy. E.g. the original PSJailbreak claimed to be for homebrew, but then also "happened to" install a syscall patch that added a feature to redirect disc accesses to the HDD. Piracy tools were then just a UI for that.

If you want legitimate console hacking software and tools not aimed at piracy, you'll find them in the open source space (part of it, as there is of course a subset of that community also just focused on piracy), not in larger commercial ventures, with extremely few exceptions.

(This is one reason why I stopped hacking consoles; most of the userbase ends up being pirates and the most lauded and successful developers are those who cater to them and us who wanted to stay away from that instead got verbal abuse; meanwhile others were making money off the whole thing.)
There sure is a difference about always working on own happiness and family/parents happiness. Both are stressful at times and both are rewarding at times. One might feel like foolish and other one just selfish but there is lot more overlap than you think. But then you don't see so many old age home types of things in the latter. It's just culture where people care more for others happiness than their own.

One example of such culture you may find interesting: Since most of the India lives in rural areas and journalist live in cities, you may never hear it. When in a village someone makes a lot of money, he will give a feast to the entire village, sometimes even 7 or 11 villages. You can say how foolish he is.. He can roam entire Europe with that kind of hard earned money, meet new people, be happy. Right? But for him, seeing so many of his fellow villagers having one delicious meal is far more fulfilling. And this keeps happening often here. Earlier they used to make wells for water for all, etc.
I’ve had one sine series 0. Have the 6 now. I love all of the details and small tools I can pack into complications. I have multiple faces with various functions I routinely use. I am rarely without it.

I would have never spent more than $100 on a traditional watch, and any watch I had before I could never get consistent about wearing.
Yes, Samsung TVs will try to connect to any open wifi network without your interaction: https://www.reddit.com/r/security/comments/bpjky4/worried_ab...
Before I disconnected my Samsung TV from the internet, it was responsible for the majority of DNS queries blocked by Pi-hole on my home network. I'm not sure if it blocked everything though.
I can't be certain if it changed, or I changed.

All I know is that when it came out 15 years ago it was awesome, and at some point probably 5 years ago I realised it tasted like crap and switched to pepsi max.

Nowadays when I do happen to drink some it tastes extremely terrible to me.

Edit: Apparently Coke Zero is no longer sold anywhere except where I live (New Zealand), so I guess nobody else in this forum will be able to check for themselves.

The rest of the world switched to "Coke Zero Sugar" and no longer has Coke Zero. In NZ the new product is called Coke No Sugar and Coke Zero continues to be sold because it was really popular I guess.

This seems to have huge geographic variation. Some places you've got to go to the doc & get a referral & they're screening people out of getting the test. Other places, they're having drive-through or walk-up testing for anyone, no questions asked. Of course you'll get different results in these cases.

> with the same logic the US Treasury Department should impose fines on parents who want to pay the ransom for their kidnapped children, because obviously (paying the ransom) benefits and promotes the illicit objectives of the kidnappers

This is actually sound logic. If 90% of parents pay ransom, kidnappers will kidnap a hundred kids a year. 90 will come home whole, 10 will have their fingers, toes, eyeballs, and various other body parts mailed home one per week in plastic baggies, or whatever unpleasant fate awaits kidnap victims who can't come up with their ransom.

Then what happens if we make ransom illegal, and we have the police watching the bank accounts of kidnapped kids' families like hawks so usually even if parents try to flout the law, the police can successfully freeze a transfer before the funds get to the kidnappers? In that case kidnappers will kidnap three or four kids, most likely none of the parents will pay. Those kids will be horribly murdered, but then the kidnappers will decide it's not profitable and give up.

Horrible if you're the parent of one of the 3 kids, especially if you end up in jail for trying to save your child's life.

But from a standpoint of social policy, having 3 kids get horribly murdered and then no more is a way, way better outcome for society as a whole than having 10 kids a year get horribly murdered, plus 90 kids a year get kidnapped and their parents have to pay ransom.

The problem is the 3 kids that actually get murdered have names and faces and sad / angry / incarcerated parents. The 7 kids a year who were saved from coming home in baggies, and the 90 kids a year who were saved from being kidnapped but ransomed, and the 90 sets of parents who weren't impoverished paying a giant ransom when their kids were kidnapped? They're statistical and unknowable.

I suppose it's a variant of the trolley problem: Is it ethical to save a specific person whose name and face you know, if by doing so you're condemning to death many others, whose identities are currently completely unknown since they will be randomly chosen at a future date?

You could also make an argument in the other direction from individual rights. Society shouldn't sanction a person who's trying to save a family member being directly threatened with death, even if their actions indirectly cause the deaths of many others. The right to protect your family is important and should be protected.

I guess it depends on whether you have a utilitarian perspective (3 dead kids is better than 10 dead kids full stop) or a rights-based perspective (you always have a right to protect the life of a threatened family member full stop.)
What a coincidence, I just finished setting up my 64GB RAM / 2 TB storage Raspberry Pi 4 PoE cluster tonight (only 1 power cable!): https://www.dropbox.com/s/um5mjt8bucfkrbk/picluster.jpg?dl=0

I was really impressed that I got line speed Ethernet between the Pis, 112MB/s doing a wget of a 1G file from one to another. Things have improved a lot since the original Raspberry Pi from 2012.

I need to figure out how to get the 8th Pi working though, since I'm using one of the PoE ports to power a Mikrotik that I'm using as a wireless bridge onto my existing broadcast domain. Technically I don't need the bridge, since each Pi can connect to my wireless AP over 5GHz 802.11ac just fine, but it feels nicer to funnel upstream data through one point. More importantly, it reduces WiFi collisions since there wouldn't be 8 devices broadcasting simultaneously and interfereing with each other (especially at those close distances) if they all needed to download something from the Internet at the same time... like a Docker image for a Kubernetes deployment :)
Sure looks like one, doesn't it?

That was also my initial thought: isn't there anyone in DO management who understands the concept of perverse incentives? "Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome", says Charlie Munger.
I can manage to buy myself a three-course dinner with wine and dessert (spending a pretty $$) without going into a shop. I've managed to buy hundreds of dollars worth of books from my local bookstores without going into shops. I can lie on my floor gasping for air and get power tools delivered to my porch!

Let's be clear about what we want. It sounds like you want people to spend money, not primarily that you want them to enter shops and breathe air and touch things.
So, we should allow shitty companies without backups to fund criminal organizations without penalty?

I hope they start enforcing this stuff with an iron hand, actually. Suddenly the CFO would have to put "ransomware fines" on the budget with enough zeros to make the C-suite put "reliable backups" on the budget.
The Honey Comb Hangout
Is it fast? I mean like, compared to QuickSort or others. Honestly asking -- I've not heard of Bead Sort before.
Hmm. I'm a little older, it was engrained in me that looking at your watch when you're talking to someone is a clear and pretty rude signal that they're boring you, wasting your time, and that in general you'd like the conversation to be done.

Like if I so much as glanced at my watch while talking to someone, I'd immediately say sorry and explain why I have to keep track of time.

Having a smart watch has changed this in one way, which is if someone starts blowing up my notifications I'll say "sorry let me fix that" and turn it to silent.

I don't have a good fix for conveying this etiquette to people who never got the message, but I'm with you: that's rude, people need to stop doing it.

No need to blame the device though. I'm with everyone else who says that the notifications are way less distracting than they would be on a phone.
> Anyone have any reasonable explanation for this? Wouldn't it be better to fine companies that don't have a security standard for their data?

Well, your second question is basically impossible to do, as "security standards" are a constantly evolving landscape and being compliant with whatever the latest certification will not necessarily prevent you from being hacked. Also, it is much more difficult and expensive and potentially unconstitutional to enforce such a law, whereas enforcing a law that requires companies not to transfer money to certain countries or organizations is comparatively easier. It's also easier tell which side of the bright line any given action is on.

The explanation for the law is obvious and you seem to know it from the previous paragraph so I'm not sure what the question is. Is it controversial? For sure. Is it without any logic? By your own admission, there is an argument to be made.
> With the watch, it feels the same, but about health. Knowing how much I walked around each day, how well I slept, what my heart rate was, etc. makes it a lot easier to understand what’s going on with my body and be more proactive about it.

meh, I had exactly the same with the withings, which is a normal watch but with captors, and it's a gimmick. I have an Apple watch now, and I don't use it all the time (it's truly a hassle to recharge it all the time), but it manages to integrate really well with everything and always surprises me in how useful it is. Today I was at the doctor with Kaiser and they texted me when they were ready to take me with the floor and room number I had to go to, I quickly saw the notification on my watch and went there. Being able to take calls when I just can't reach my phone is amazing also. When I watch a movie or listen to music I can quickly decrease/increase the sound. I can use it as a remote for keynote. I'm still discovering things every week. If only they could make it so that it would last longer than 1 day.
They're glued to their TVs.
Yes, skilled professional translators who are native-level in both languages are possibly the closest to a perfect translation you can find and arguably they are one of the reasons that international diplomacy is at all workable (though they are still imperfect, purely because languages represent concepts with different nuances, and translating the nuance of any given phrase could require distilling an entire lifetime of cultural experience into a few sentences). That being said, I doubt you'll find one on HN who is going to bother to translate a Hindi video about how to create spam PRs, so you'll have to make do with a native speaker (who isn't a professional translator) has said -- hence my comment.

And my follow-up comment about being suspicious was about the vast majority of people who do translations (especially online), and I would go so far as to argue that some degree of suspicion should also be applied when newspapers use translations as though they are direct quotations. But I wasn't (generally speaking) talking about professional translators.
Some Garmin watches offer a "breaths per minute" metric.

Wouldn't a really long insulated cable that you touch with your finger work? It would just carry the capacitance, and it would probably cost pennies.
The software is pretty good actually. Have a Galaxy Active2, two day battery life, good health sensors, and I find the interface incredible easy to use (after one or two day of adaptation). The fact that it is round is a plus for me too (it looks like a watch if you turn Always on screen, though I use it off in mine).

I don't know about the SDK though, but it does seem to have some apps (not that I use many of them).
I don't understand why you need to have a watch to tell you how you feel.
Have you guys gotten antibody tests?
This is not entirely fair. Here is Epic's claim of harm:

> In retaliation against Epic for introducing competition to Google Play Billing, and in furtherance of Google’s anti-competitive scheme, Google removed Fortnite from the GooglePlay Store. As a result, Epic suffered—and continues to suffer—irreparable harm to its reputation, goodwill, and competitive standing. Each day that Epic remains off the Google Play Store causes Epic unquantifiable harm because Google’s other restraints ensure that downloading apps outside an app store is threatening and technically challenging to most users,which prevents Epic from effectively distributing Fortnite to many Android users.

Epic only calls out their absence from the play store. They don't articulate any other harms. So, it's natural that Google would only react to this one harm, Epic didn't claim any others!
It’s so interesting how many single uses of the watch make it hard to go back to life beforehand. In other words, even if I did nothing else with the watch, I’d still miss it if it was gone.

For instance, Apple Pay on a watch seems magical (and even better with COVID): you double-click, move your wrist closer and you’ve paid, after a pleasing confirmation “bzzz” on your wrist. As amazing as paying with your phone was, that just seems clunky once you use the watch.

Now Apple just needs to make watch faces easily customizable. The rush to customize phone screens in iOS 14 should show them, people want to personalize their stuff!! Having the same OK-ish face gallery for years is easily the main downside of the Apple Watch.
All the comments so far seem incredibly hostile to this idea so I will play devils advocate.

* Paying a ransom is literally facilitating a criminal enterprise which is already illegal in almost all other aspects in most of the world.

* In a ransomware attack there is no guaranteed assurance the criminal enterprise will restore the data once paid, because this an unreported expenditure to a criminal party.

* Legally compelling parties to cooperate with law enforcement provides addition investigative materials for future law enforcement investigations.

* The more frequently reported a crime becomes the more investigative attention it receives with increased investigative budget. Federal investigators aren’t compelled to take this problem seriously so long as it is drastically under reported.

* The Justice Department is compelled to criminalize ransomware payments as a consumer protection, because the loss of data ultimately hurts the impacted consumers most.
Key word is “irreparable” not “harm”.

If you pay too much you can capture that if you get a final judgement later. It’s not “irreparable” unless you go out of business, for example, in the meanwhile due that harm, so there’s no emergency requirement to compel the other party to do something right away.
Plasma is so so lovely, take care of it. My 2010 plasma had a run-in with an unsecured Wiimote, and they can no longer be repaired.

I got an LG OLED, which has ads, but they are successfully piholed for now. It's painful to manage because it also blocks ordinary features, like NTP.
Good.

You were all starting to suffer lower back compression, and no doubt the CO2 levels in that room were off the charts.

Better would be to make a rule that all meetings must conclude when people's watches start telling them "knock it off, you're an animal not a machine, stand up now or spend your last couple decades in pain".
How is that any different than what Facebook and Google do. Or infact many of the American companies. Will you call stealing people data American? Or profitng by bombing poor nations.

One of the difficulties is that the countries that have good, science-led national leadership have concentrated on stopping the spread (just thinking about Finland with its national health system for instance). Countries with chaotic and uncoordinated responses, like the US, are too chaotic and uncoordinated to collect good data for research as well. There are not coordinated, science-led countries that let a lot of people get it for research purposes. Countries like Italy and the UK that got overwhelmed just didn't do this type of systematic research because they were busy. In the US some large insurance systems are doing research, but they're not necessarily incentivized to share their knowledge or data.
I'm Jamm0n and I hang out on IRC (Efnet). Reading your post made me want to let you know I love sucking dick.
I feel bad for Epic. I know their intention, but the way they are going into this battle is just wrong. And they are kind of losing public support and court orders, all while burning bridges with Apple and Google.

One could argue Epic is trying to demonstrate Apple and Google are basically Visa and MasterCard. ( That is purely my guess, personally I dont see Epic has planned a decent, long term strategy other than simply charging into battle ) And in EU Visa and Master had to lower their CC processing fees from their 3-5% in US to somewhat sane %. Similar case in AUS as well.

I wonder if Tim Sweeney saw the opportunity from DHH / Hey.com, decided to take a bet and jump onto it. Simply judging the flow from Twitter and people within his own circle. ( or Bubble )

I actually have no problem with Apple or Google charging 30% for gaming. I do have problem with Apple charging business like Fitness class, Online Email Services, Education or all other Services simply for access through their Apps. Had it been something like 5% to 10% I think everyone would have been happy to pay. It was estimated 80% of App Store revenue were from Gaming. Apple could have lower their non-gaming cut without substantial loss of services revenue stream.

But it seems there are large enough group of Americans thinking Apple can charge whatever they want. It is their platform.
I absolutely adore my totally dumb $650 48" JVC 4K LED TV. NFI on input lag stats but I game (offline) and it looks beautiful and my SO games (online) and doesn't have issues outside Australian fraudband speeds. It's got pretty much the same operating system as the ~15 year old cheapo TV (22" 1080i) it replaced. It just works. It's perfect for our usage and I hope it will last as long as the 1080i TV did.

I'm trying desperately to convince some family members who have an expensive LG 'smart' TV to buy something dumb - they don't use the smart 'features' and I am sick of getting calls that they need help re-flashing the firmware because it got stuck booting for the hundredth time or android/the TV app froze again. When the stupid thing 'works' it takes several minutes to boot and the TV app regularly just ...closes. When you try to set the time and date, it saves it wrong or just unsets it so you it can't show you the TV guide which is just atrocious! It can't even have feature parity with the first digital signal pre-'smart' TV TVs. It's almost unusable and it's ~3 years old, which is just unacceptable for a TV from an industry leading manufacturer that cost several thousand dollars. I hope this is not a typical experience.

"Just don't connect it to the internet" does not a dumb TV make. It doesn't negate the atrocious software on the stupid things, or the resulting (imo) shortened lifetime. It also doesn't necessarily stop it from finding a network. "Use a pi-hole", "blacklist it in your router", or "remove the TV's network card" sucks as well; consumers shouldn't have to go to such lengths to circumvent such atrocious anti-consumer practices in the first place, even if they do know how to. It took me a few months to track down a totally dumb 4K TV with a big screen. Most manufacturers just don't make them any more. Why would they? It's so much more profitable for them not to, even if there is a demand. I'd love to know how much of a demand for totally dumb TVs there is.

> The prevalence of extreme signalling brews the classic and infamous herd mentality in our minds. In middle school children have dreams to become a Pilot in the airforce, or maybe a Police officer, or maybe a Opera Singer ! But by the time of high school, everyone is just either on road to become an Engineer, a Doctor, a Lawyer, a Chartered Accountant …. or a failure. This may seem harsh but that’s how most of the society operates here in India.

Sounds remarkably similar to how I was raised here in the US.
It's crazy how user hostile TV manufacturers have become.
You can see any Apple device as a trojan horse for people to get into the Apple ecosystem, so probably never. It is extremely annoying to be honest, I have a few google Home and I can't play Apple music on them. It's ridiculous.
