I think it's very similar what macOS collects and what Windows does these days.

I don't know if macOS has a tool like this, but anyone curious exactly what telemetry Windows is collect, Microsoft provides a Diagnostic Data Viewer tool to explore it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/diagnostic-...

There's a ton of documentation at this point on everything Windows collects as telemetry.

(Most of the same telemetry is in Windows 7, fwiw. A lot of the telemetry systems were added in Vista or XP. The biggest change was Windows 10 turned on a lot more of it on by default rather than nagging people to join the various "Customer Experience Improvement Programs" and consolidating all those opt-in/opt-out "improvement programs" from a half-dozen different nag dialogs to a single privacy settings panel.)

Google effectively controls the engine's development, and additionally effectively controls the web standardization process (de facto or de jure). This is bad for obvious reasons. It would be neat if there was another browser not effectively run by Google. Being open-source is nice, but who writes the commits? Who controls the direction? Mostly Googlers. Sure, others contribute, but the project is obviously steered by Google. Having most of the user experience/stack of the Web controlled by one company is called a monoculture and it isn't good.
Nice, and to move the goal post just a little further, what is the minimum number of people in the minimum number of counties where people from the populous blue cities could move to flip every state blue.

Only saying it this way because the population of blue is larger.

Sure, I just have seen arguments like:

- go through the standard library to learn rust

- the standard library is always the stile/way you should write your own code

to often in rust related discussion. And while this is actually true for parts of the rust std, it needs to be taken with a big grain of salt.

Interestingly, this doesn't mention immigration. I would strongly expect immigrants to be more likely to hold onto religious traditions than folks back home. For example: American Muslims are significantly more educated than the population as a whole: 39% have a college degree, versus 27% of all U.S. adults. While college education is usually correlated with less religion, American Muslims are more religious than the average American: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/08/28/u-s-muslims.... Almost 60% pray daily, with 42% saying all five prayers daily. Meanwhile, 48% of Americans overall pray daily.
In stories of the demise of workstations, don't forget September 11, 2001. Sun Micro had made a spectacularly successful push of their products into what we now call Fintech. But a vast installed base fell with the Twin Towers, along with a vast maintenance revenue stream for Sun.

A lot of replacement equipment was ordered from large manufacturers of commodity computing products. Are those highly capable devices workstations? PCs? I think they're both.
There have certainly been cost effective hydrogen powered long distance drones. One potential benefit is that you can run fuel cells, which are silent and quite a bit more efficient than a two-stroke driving a generator. OTOH, getting similar energy density is challenging, as others have said. Although you can come quite close with liquid hydrogen, if you can live with a fuel that's not storable for long times at small quantities in the field.

GA (General Availability) just meant out of "Beta". If you don't see "Beta", you can assume GA unless they word things a bit weirdly and not mention "Beta" but a synonym, such a "limited availability". Just be careful and read the full page, which seems like it's your habit anyway. :)
The arguments in favor of piracy as far as helping artists are way less valid now. We have to start accepting that if we allow piracy, music becomes an under-valued public good and artists do not end up getting receiving the value the produce for society.
Yeah, I'm just not sure what's happening in Asia, South America, and Africa. There were stories about lots of cases in a few countries but the number of deaths was quite low. Europe and North America seem to be the brutally hit but other places seem to have got through the pandemic without much trouble.

Is it the vitamin D? We should really try to figure out why these regions have done so well and try to replicate that in Europe and NA.

I don't think 30% is unreasonable, nor would it require them raising that much cash relative to a company of their magnitude or

Back of the envelope math:
Majority of their portfolio is very short term, let's assume 6 months duration which is a 0.5yr weighted average life
300B in annual originations
Assume they can get similar leverage as US securitization markets, which would be 95% advance rate (5% "skin in the game" for Ant)

Then the equity required would be:
300B0.530%5% = ~2.25B, and they were planning to raise $30B as part of this IPO

Perhaps not a kneecapping, but Planned Parenthood recently lost a sizeable chunk of its federal funding thanks to a domestic variant of the global gag rule[1].

The 2018 omnibus budget contained a variety of funding cuts for social programs. A good example of a dramatic reduction is the 21st CCLC (a funding stream for afterschool programs) being eliminated entirely, to the tune of $1.2 billion USD[2]. That was part of a larger >10% cut to education programs as a whole, which I would consider significant.

> I agree. Just be careful when you assign motive to an entire organization when it could be just a single person inside being an ass.

Preventing motivations of a single person inside an organization from tanking its products and direction is one of the main jobs for organizational management. Good companies are resistant to fiefdom building and having managers damage their reputation for personal gain.

To Wash It All Away (2014)
“Fewer” is a relative term - F#’s type system is noticeably less fancy (basically generics are “weaker” than in OCaml) but having the entire .NET System library is very useful for practical programming, along with many 3rd party options. The author mentioned a lack of GCP support in OCaml as a major stumbling point, and also mentioned how nice it was that F# had a built-in immutable map. There is more to computer science than type theory - System.Collections.Concurrent is particularly cool, and hard to do in OCaml. If you know C#/Java/C++/etc some of that code is also very well-written and informative.

There are use cases where OCaml’s type system leads to elegant type-safe code that, if expressed in F#, involve inelegant unsafe boilerplate. It’s usually not a whole lot and it’s typically routine but it certainly happens. For some teams and products OCaml is a better choice.

But there’s also a reason why many developers abandoned Lisp for Python: some theoretical fanciness and robustness only infrequently outweighs ease-of-use and quality-of-life.
I don't understand anything in aerodynamics, so pardon my stupid question: planes are the most wide-spread flying machines because they are vastly more efficient than a rotary-wing aircraft due to the lift generated by wings. Why then a quadcopter is the default shape for smaller drones? Is it because small wings don't generate enough lift for the drone to make a difference? But they surely provide additional stability and won't hurt at a glance.
Masnick appears to have little interest in honestly representing any position he claims to address, nor does he actually successfully address them.

For example, in whether or not Section 230 removes the incentive to moderate, he claims that before 230, there was an incentive to not moderate, which Section 230 removes. He fails to address reality here though: That the primary force behind moderation and not moderation comes from ad revenue, and Section 230 simply makes tech companies not liable for those very financially-motivated decisions.

He also buys into the "regulations actually harm the little guy" narrative big tech is known for using to defend a law that solely serves to enable mass-scale algorithmic moderation, while doing nothing meaningful to protect human-curated decisions. Intent is very important in law, and small human moderators doing their best effort are perfectly fine pre-230, but large companies using algorithms to maximize engagement and revenue at the cost of human society really needs 230 to survive.

Large companies that need to be regulated generally claim regulation won't really hurt them, but hurts small businesses. This is, of course, a completely ridiculous claim: If it helped them more than their competitors, they'd be all for it. Regulations can (and generally are) careful to include proper methods of handling businesses from small to large, and we've seen this bad claim from Google when trying to discourage privacy legislation like GDPR.

He also addresses the conversation largely as someone who doesn't recognize the vast disparity between the large companies Section 230 protects, and the smaller parties it harms. For instance, while recognizing the first amendment is a largely suitable way to handle legitimate cases that Section 230 would apply to, he dismisses it by saying that Section 230 helps avoid nuisance or "frivolous" suits. Of course, if "nuisance suits" is the problem, perhaps we should admit that the three most valuable companies on the planet can more than afford to handle nuisance suits without additional legal protection.

I'd love to find a good write up by an "opposite shill", but honestly, that's pretty hard: Google has invested more money into political lobbying than literally anyone else at this point. They've bought everyone who can be bought.

And, while we're talking about not doxxing... how much work for Google have you done? A lot of your HN history seems to be largely defensive of them, and I found at least one comment clearly denoting you at least did work for them. I can confidently say I've never been paid by anyone working for or against Google... can you? So perhaps we should leave scouring each other's profiles out of it? The HN moderators would almost certainly prefer it.
Fraud is a strong word. This was common knowledge to anyone interested in how recycling works. Wait until you hear about the mountains of glass sitting around never to be recycled.
I like vue a lot more.

In regards to the ecosystem, tooling is much better for vue. In fact, given how similar react/vue/svelte are, the tooling makes a big difference.

Other than that, I like that vue (ironically) has less magic than svelte. If I wanted to switch over to react, I could just use react+mobx for pretty much the same experience. Vue's reactivity is basically very simple observables that I can easily envision in my head. Even though it uses a dsl - there are like 6 directives that I have to remember that are pretty much common to any template engine (i.e. v-for, v-if, etc). Whereas, svelte has a lot more magical syntax that makes it perhaps more pleasant to program in, but not something I am willing to invest in until it becomes more mature.

I use the object style for components and really like it because it makes things more explicit and clear. I know svelte is smaller and so it's more productive for smaller use cases, but in the long run, I like the more explicit nature for when I am switching between front-end and back-end.

Also, vue is a lot easier to integrate incrementally since it does a fair amount of stuff during runtime in contrast to svelte which does the main work at compile time. The latter obviously makes it a little bit faster, but the web environment is slow enough that my other techniques (like lazy loading) are enough to cover for it.
> No, morals are relative, just that.

And yet by focusing on and stating "just that," you steer the conversation away from the concrete action that this whole thread was started about.

We're not going to resolve moral relativism vs absolutism in a web form, nor should that be a necessary pre-requisite for condemning the immoral behaviour of a company.

It's one thing to debate if the particular action in question is good or not. It's another to attempt to invalidate the entire debate by stating that "morals are relative."

You may think you're just stating "morals are relative, just that," but in reality, the context within which you state it serves only to move the discussion away from the morals of the act in question into some abstract debate about morals in general. It's a distraction. Sometimes the "root cause" cannot be resolved and we should focus on the symptoms and more surface level issues.
A lot of migrants, the Pilgrims in particular, left Europe for religious freedom, and specifically for the freedom to practice stricter forms.

In my family the descendants that migrated in the fifties are still fervent protestants, but here (Netherlands) only a handful are still religious, and I would say not very strongly so.

> When it comes to understanding what really makes large tech firms dominant and predicting what judges will do, you aren’t getting the full picture. Maybe I’m just suggesting the site should be more modest and, in particular, be careful about treating aggregation theory as if it were almost like a brand that needs be elevated. The danger for readers is a false confidence, for what Thompson too rarely reminds the reader is what we don’t know.

This section off Wu's criticism I can agree with, Thompson has a way of shoehorning everything to fit his models which doesn't always work.

>> Antitrust should be dealing with the reality of anticompetitive behavior in markets, not ideals of how companies work

> Wu does not believe that Google is unique as far as scalability is concerned, he appears to assume that the company must be doing something nefarious to command such market share. And, by the same token, there must be some sort of unfair lock-in, because again, companies ought not be so dominant. This is a sure recipe for lazy arguments that end up criminalizing the basics of business.

This I can get behind Thompson on. Blindly enforcing laws which are not updated for the fundamental changes in technology will lead to poor outcomes. Laws have to evolve with what technology enables, and Thompson has at least thought about this in a depth that Wu doesn't even care to acknowledge.
Really? The problem is that changing the goalposts/rebranding is fodder for deniers.

They don't really care about api access at that granular level because most of their customers never use any of the features. They're trying to just create a not-as-good cloud provider which lacks even a 3rd US based data center.

Oh and their free LE certs require you to hand over the root domain to them so they can manage it. Completely baffles me why they can't figure out nameserver delegations and accept they're incompatible with companies like Cloudflare.

Really DO, build a 3rd US data center that is somewhere in Texas so you have a little more geographic coverage besides the coasts. Fix your terrible access key permissions (oh yeah a storage client should be able to delete my domain registration...)

Parent was actually referring to write as you speak, not reading.

It is true that if you happened to know French well, and you are familiar with the language writing conventions you can read the language just fine, but that's tautology.

Roughly half of the letters written in French are not pronounced, either because they come too soon in the word, or because they are followed by another letter or because they are too late in the word. Unless the next word starts with specific letter, in that case you do pronounce the ending of the previous word. Sure, for a native speaker it could be very easy to read and write, and it might be determined by very consistent set of few dozen rules, but I would say that reading or writing French is anything but straightforward.

I agree that it would be nice to have a scaled version of the top few counties - maybe an area-corrected inset of the most populous counties over the Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf, or Lake Michigan.

Would Cook county fit in the lake, or would it need to overlay Canada? It's half the population of the state of Michigan...

Regardless, hoping this gets updated for 2020.

Their page reminds me a lot of the feature drone sales pages you see over at banggood.com or aliexpress, ebay, etc. But I don't find it that impressive overall. If they want actual range, put wings on it. You'll see that all the delivery drones are doing such a thing.
I choose to look at it the other way around and say I can't afford NOT to make this choice.

But I don't have a lot of money, in fact my last few years of tax returns I've barely earned more than the tax free threshold. So it's not about having tons of money to escape the 9-to-5, it's about realizing you can find happiness with a lot less.
