I had the same problem and so I created a website to make it easy for you to talk with your colleague.

The idea is that you can see who is around and just jump into a conversation without calling.

Same. It’s a fine system if you want to read a lot of things, but if you want to read a specific thing, I’ve found I was 30th in line, shrugged, and bought the book instead.

This is part of how we know the worry isn’t really justified.
Probably somewhere in between? So maybe an order of magnitude and a half fewer? But yeah, the charger thing is real. Her new Garmin uses this weird housed pogo pin connector for charging. The last one used a cradle that hugged the back of the watch; no idea what the electrical connection is.

I can only assume there's a good reason for the non-standard connector, and that it probably involves waterproofing?

I have no horse in this race, to be clear.
You can certainly accuse Google of hoarding its customers’ data, but I think you’ll have a hard time levying that same accusation at Apple.

Not that Apple has zero data on their customers, but the difference in quantity (and intrusiveness) is likely off by a factor of thousands.
I'll create some repos that are nothing but

You could say the same about posts relating to anime or how to bake. The sites singular focus on hackers is what I think keeps it from devolving down the reddit path.
I don't have a TV, only a few monitors (it's very liberating, actually). So instead I'll talk about my microwave. Yes, unironically! :D It has two dials. OMG how do I survive with only two dials? How do I program it? Well, the answer is, unsurprisingly, that I don't program it. Instead I crank it to watever wattage I need (usually the top one), and the time I think it'll take until the food I becomes hot. Aaaand that's it. No programming. No fiddling or mindlessly pushing buttons in the hopes of finding the right one. Only two dials. One for wattage (power output), and the other for time. I think it's really great. There's even some indicators on the Watt-dial for thawing and stuff like that, but I seldom need it, so I usually just keep it rested on 800W. It's the required wattage for most TV dinners anyway. And hot pockets. Don't forget hot pockets guys. How would I survive without...... If you didn't get it, this is actually a post about UIs, and how much I love the book The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman.[1]

Far from it.
The problem with smart TVs is that they provide an inferior experience to a dumb TV.

They have sluggish menu systems, are slow to switch between inputs and startup times frequently measured in 10s of seconds. Compare that to dumb TVs that switch on in less than 2 seconds and respond immediately.

Then there’s of course the ads and spying that you can avoid by not letting it on the network.
Foreign governments blackmailing US government staff is only one side of the equation. There is, of course, the whole "but what would the wife/churchfellows think?" issue, still, but there are still many countries that do not take the same enlightened view that the US does.

It's entirely possible that even the ability to verify that a particular email address has a Grindr account may be enough to threaten a person with imprisonment or death in several countries I can think of off the top of my head.
Thanks OP and HN :) since I have been wanting to ask this question for a long time:

What stops a library from buying a physical book, scanning and digitizing it, sticking the physical book in a vault, and then making the book available via a e-lending system that ensures only one copy is checked out?

Libraries can also share the digitized version with other libraries who have bought physical books. To go one step further, what stops a bunch of libraries from pooling their digitized collections together and making it available to sister libraries. I think there is nothing in current law that stops it or is there?

What in the law allows e-book publishers to make distinction between physical copies of books owned by libraries and digital books? Seems to me like they are holding libraries hostage over a barrel because they can.

Unlikely and I’ll cancel my subscription when it happens. Netflix putting promos at the start of their series is almost enough for me to cancel there.
I disagree. As an Indian, our pride is one of the biggest problems. Not achieving much but taking a lot of credit for it. We even take pride in Indians that leave for abroad and do exceptionally well - CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Adobe, MasterCard are not Indians in terms of their citizenship. They're of Indian ethnicity.

To the foreigners (especially Americans) - I cannot make this up. When I was in 6th standard, we had a teacher that said without flinching, or perhaps completely deluded that - 90% of NASA employees are Indians. We knew this is bullshit even when in the 90's when there was no internet.

Currently, we've got the Indian media tied up with taking pride in the fact that Kamala Harris is Indian.

It's frankly embarrassing how much undeserved pride we constantly seek.
A wife might be accepting of a husbands bisexual adventures and not consider it cheating. What about her parents, his parents, children, family, coworkers, congregation, community, etc.

I wasn't speaking directly to that, moreso that secrets have value. Some people would reveal their secrets rather than be controlled with them, others will define the value of their secrets by what they're willing to do maintain them.
>1) "Some Samsung TVs already try and connect to open WiFi networks if you don't connect them yourself."

This claim doesn't seem to be well sourced. It's essentially going on the word of an anonymous redditor.
Some days, my guilt of having left country and family, of not living up to a promise made to a teen-aged self, rises to the surface. I have my own rationalisations, and over video calls my parents tell me the choice I made was the right one for me and my family. Still, some days I think of what-might-have-beens and what-could-bes.

You might be right, but it's not as clear-cut as you make it to be.
Varnish cache works by creating a hash of the request consisting of method, url and for a site where you log in, that would also include the cookie you use for identification. Your proposed collision idea is very improbable but possible.

There is actually a good article in the Varnish docs around hash collisions:
https://varnish-cache.org/docs/4.1/phk/varnish_does_not_hash...

PS. Even though the article says "Varnish does not hash", I suggest everyone to keep reading until the end, when it turns out that they, in fact, do.

>> I was lucky to have very "Americanized" parents who didn't raise me with these backward attitudes.

You miss the entire point of the article. You are privileged not only to have Americanized parents, but you are privileged because you are an American. Your world is way better than that of a common Indian student. Most Indian students need a job, just to be able to feed their families.
Quoting from the article:

"When push comes to shove (which is the permanent state for most Indians), we only care about one thing, survival."

When it's about survival, everything else goes out the window. That's one of the points the article is trying to highlight.
Those legal battles can go for years. We are hearing only the first shots now.
Both platforms provided necessary instruments to hoard personal data such as - location (GPS/cellular triangulation), Microphone, Cameras etc. There was absolutely no difference in what instruments they provided to gain data until recently.
And how many 16 year olds are employed? Some have part time jobs, some have full time jobs in the summer. They generally treat education as a full time activity.
It's easier for a straight person to pass off a straight dating/hookup site vs. a "straight" married person on a gay/bi site. The straight person can just say they used the site before they were married, etc. whereas there's no such excuse for the gay site.
IANAL but it seems like there's a fine line between being seen as a "circumvention device" (which is used mainly for piracy of copyrighted content, and perhaps even sold and advertised for this purpose) and being seen as something more like a "rooting tool" (root your device! not responsible for piracy! wink wink).
Yup, and they'd have time to start their own pursuits or small businesses. It's really a win win.
I also bought a 65" Sceptre because it's a reasonably priced dumb TV. No issues after a couple years.
Ok, I'll ask. Which Microwave do you have?
Stock exchanges earn major share of their profit from processing the orders.

They just lost at least a whole day of revenue.

After compiling some number for their annual report[1], I would say the loss from TSE revenue alone is roughly 2 million USD. But considering the effect trickling down the revenue stream where other security partners whose revenue depends on earning transaction fees, I would say the real damage would be many folds of that 2 million loss from TSE.

Isn't that the same thing? Say that you forget to specify that "my_login_cookie" should vary the response from the backend. User A logs in. Now user B logs in, but because the page was cached from user As visit, user B sees the content for user A. B is not "logged in" as A, but can still see their content.

Your fix for technology enabled social distance was more technology.

I love it.

Perhaps social media has done that to some people. But I still see my neighbors out in their garden, and even outside with musical instruments. My musical friends come over and play outside with me. I garden alone because socializing over everything is insane to me.

I disagree there’s a real problem.

Re: people living at home still.

That trend was there before social media and COVID. Along with women having kids later, and adults finding career success later.

The economic math always points to the gerontocracy locking up capital, and of course their generational peers in government refuse to use their legislative powers to do anything but hand sacks of capital to their buddies, who then point us toward shovels.

This isn’t magic. We know where the problem is. Believing we need to import another fad for people to consume is ridiculous.
What are you getting at? Why would they be focusing on hours instead of growing the company?
Terrestrial TV and radio are probably safe from tracking. The set-top boxes that the cable/satellite company gives you... not so much.
Some other favorite uses in no particular order: TOTP codes (Authy, Duo, 1Password), habit tracking and reminders (Streaks), QR codes that scan as my contact info or to easily join my WiFi network (Visual Codes), record voice memos that sync to my other devices when I want to just make a quick note, check things off my to-do list (Things, Reminders), run shortcuts for Hue lighting scenes.

New capabilities for shortcuts recently too, you can make a shortcut to toggle some watch settings (like always-on display) and run it from a complication on a watch face. And you can change watch faces automatically by time of day using automations on your phone, if you want something like a watch face with weather forecast and next calendar event for when you’re getting ready in the morning, then something else for when you’re out of the house.

I’m already not a big phone person (2016 SE) and my favorite thing after the health features is all the times I don’t have to pull my phone out to do something.
I'm on HN I think we can assume I agree with you. I think you misunderstood or I didn't explain correctly. The people working on this case should get a job, instead of going after a bunch of hackers. I have a basement and really I was envisioning some really cool space with all sorts of computers, rom chips, LED's, monitors and all that. IDK if I ever become a super notorious, evil, DANGEROUS, absolutely insane video game console modifier, you can bet your butt that I'm gonna be doing it in style, in my basement.

EDIT:
Some people work for a living...others have a suspect board on their wall with pictures of people that modify video game console, thinking that they're doing good in the world by putting these people in prison. If someone on this case walked by my house, I'd lock the door. You have to be a straight up psychopath to want to throw these people in prison.
In a related area, it may be time for independent "add-on stores" for browsers, separate from the ones Google, Mozilla, and Apple operate. Chrome and Firefox now use the same add-on format ("WebExtensions"), so there's no need for separate stores, and Safari is going that way. But each browser vendor has a separate approval process with its own rules and fees.
Preparation is the killer though. Setup time for bead sort linearly scales with the sum of the values of the array. However, depending on your implementation setup and execution can be parallelized (for example on a Connect Four board in its default vertical orientation in an environment with gravity).
If you had read Hacktoberfest's previous blog post on this matter. They even encouraged those spammers to create a repo on their own github account and create 4 PRs within those repos just to get qualified for the T-shirts but I think anyways the damage has been done and by providing T-shirts to those spammers they're not penalizing their behavior any ways.
Apple’s argument for privacy is that they don’t give away their user’s data to outside parties. Friend who used to work at Apple told me they store lots of user data and do the typical intrusive data analysis on the data. They just don’t give it to third parties.
If the instructor says you can't do it then it is cheating.

It's common for professors to not allow students to keep exams for this reason. Students in such classes do a "brain dump" by writing down all the questions they remember immediately after leaving the test to get around this.
Try Friendica. Same functionality as Facebook, but open, like Mastodon. Mastodon : Twitter. Friendica : Facebook.
Nowadays anything mid or high range you pretty much have to get a smart TV, or a commercial "dumb" unit that's overpriced. During my last TV search a few years ago I wasn't able to find a good mid range TV that wasn't smart.
This Chrome extension seems to be the easiest way for users to delete all their past history (or selective portions) on Facebook, and is recommended in numerous online guides. The authors claim it is completely safe to use:

> This extension is completely written in Javascript, and running completely within users Chrome browsers. All the source code can be viewed with Chrome Developer Tools. The code has been analyzed many times by many other developers. The extension has been used by nearly 200,000 users. If there is anything bad, it would have already been reported. You can feel absolutely safe to use it.

Does anyone know if this is a safe tool to recommend to friends and family looking to thin their social media presence?

Are there equivalents for other social media platforms like TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, etc?
I have a Pebble smartwatch app[1] that only I have ever worked on (aside from one PR to change an icon). I don't really expect anyone else to contribute, but it would be neat.

I just opted it in to Hacktoberfest. Best case scenario, I actually get a great PR because someone was looking for Hacktoberfest-eligible repos and thought my app looked cool. Worst-case scenario, I get a bunch of spam PRs that I reject—but since I basically never get any PRs, this doesn't seem like such a huge problem.

> On the other hand, book are simply not as important as they were when libraries were created. Now we have multiple free, high-quality sources of information that are far easier to access than libraries ever were, for example, Wikipedia or the many sites where people share their literary works for free.

Oh, yeah? Try finding out how to do something in Visual Basic 6 or try finding out how jeweler's used to cut accurate screw threads.

Knowledge prior to 1996 was in books. Many of those books have been discarded because they "don't circulate". I have even tried to pull some of these things via interlibrary loan programs--the books simply do not exist.

This knowledge is no longer available to someone without significant resource. It's not online; the books are gone; old periodicals may be online but are behind a paywall. You might be able to purchase one of these books if someone with an extensive personal library dies--but the book will be expensive.

As a child, I could walk into my local university library and pull car repair, machining, Popular Electronics, etc. off the shelves and simply read them. Free of charge! No library card required (even though my parents paid for one for me). This certainly contributed to what I am today.

Libraries no longer attempt to serve as a resource for the broader public. And that's a terrible, terrible loss to society.
Yeah, agreed about the not-an-ad-company thing. Another selling point for Apple is their phones are supported for like 5 years of full OS updates, which is much longer than any Android phone.
What do you mean by infinite nesting here? Provided, the tasks are modelled using DAG.
I sense regulation incoming. ;)
Agreed, it depends of the type of content, and the audience.

I used to enjoy long content. But in the last 2 years, I got distracted easier, and enjoy short content more.
Thank You!, Thank YOU!, THANK YOU!

This right here is the truth. The article is simply a rant from somebody who has yet to grow up and understand the real world i.e. they are in a privileged position in life. When you have so much competition for limited opportunities, you cannot apply the same yardstick from a different environment. The Fight for Survival is as true of social structures as it is in biological ones. It seems this Indian American has no idea of the sacrifices his parents made in establishing themselves in America and providing him the privileged position from which he pontificates.
What's weird is how many students work their asses off, get amazing grades, go to top schools...and end up at a big tech company working with people who went to state school and community college. Of course going to a top school makes the application process easier, but only insofar that you clear the resume screen and get some confirmation/credential bias in your favor. Don't get me wrong, it's great that tech companies can have Stanford alongside community college. But honestly it seems a bit of a waste when my classmates who went to Stanford and Harvard end up at Facebook or Google. Truly the best minds of my generation devoted to getting people to click on ads.
Yes.

Hey guys, I'm testing out Medium distribution (paywall vs non-paywall).

Just let me know, I will turn off the paywall
I get the sense that in order to have legal standing for a lawsuit, you have to be actually harmed.

I'm under the impression that they had to do more-or-less what they did (minus the press blitz) in order to have legal standing to bring a case.

In this case, I think they are arguing that the harm occurs because "who decides if you can be on the App Store" should not be a monopoly, and users should be able to decide if they trust Epic to handle payments instead of Apple.

The argument is that the TOS itself is (or should be ruled), in its current form, illegal.

This case is particularly interesting, because it is clear that Apple + Google have a duopoly on a very important market, and both companies exhibit near-identical anti-consumer behavior in this particular respect. So while consumers may have a nominal choice, they do not have a real choice about a decision facet that matters. I'm curious about any anti-trust precedent here, and how this was handled in the courts. (i.e. two separate lawsuits against the companies in question, some sort of unified legal plea...?) How is (implicit) collusion handled?
Hey, this Times article is by James Harkin, writer for QI and co-host of 'No Such Thing as a Fish'

To be clear, the decorator only involves a compiler because the spec isn’t finished. When it is, it’ll just be normal runtime JS with no need for a compiler. There is a compiler invoked at the template layer, but nothing requires that for the rest of this system to work. Autotracking is a general-purpose reactivity system and it does not require any compilation in a formal sense; Svelt does. None of that is a criticism of Svelte, which I very much like and admire. But the difference is worth understanding clearly!

In terms of the tradeoffs here, I haven’t dug deeply enough into Svelte to have a reasonable opinion beyond the first blush “I really like this!” The way it uses compilation and repurposes unused JS features to build a reactivity DSL is very clever and interesting and the compilation output is smart and well-optimized, even if I find the use of exports to be a bit quirky.

Epic did for a time only distribute their game through their launcher, available only as an APK from their website, but they eventually capitulated to Google's policies and listed Fortnite on the Play Store. They did this because it is evidently not realistically possible for a commercial app to be distributed outside of the Play Store and reach a critical mass of the Android userbase, whatever the cause(s) may be.

Google has made the process of installing alternative app stores obtuse enough that general consumers might not do it. It's not that obtuse, especially to readers of this site, but it looks as though it's enough. There's also the restriction that app installs and updates cannot be done in the background.

Another possibility, or perhaps in addition to the above, is that the general public never goes outside of default app stores to search for games, or is never persuaded to do so. It's the path of least resistance to only use the one(s) included with the phone. Fortnite is the one attempt at a massive enough scale that could have broken this pattern, but it didn't, even though they had Fortnite on all the other platforms to use as an ad, which targets exactly the people most likely to jump through the hoops.
