I'm glad you are playing the devil's advocate, everyone saying "boo" is not really constructive.

The high level argument I'm making is that there are few benefits and more drawbacks to this.

What's the happiest possible success story we can tell here? Someone without a phone, uses loans they can only get with this invention. They use the phone to access social networks and build friendships, access government services, apply for jobs, turn their life around.

How likely is this story? Not likely. Getting a shitty phone is cheap, and this loan wont be needed.

So what is a likelier way this will be used? Someone is unhappy with their current phone and wants an upgrade. Having a history of financial irresponsibility, it would be hard for them to get a loan, but now with this tech they can. They get their new phone and show it off to their friends a few months earlier than they otherwise could, and reduce their consumption in other areas to afford their payments. In a significant minority of cases they fail to pay on time and their phone is looked, leading to significant distress.

In addition, it makes other things possible down the line. I believe some states suspend drivers licenses if you fail to make alimony payments. With this technology such a policy could be extended to the phone. In less democratic countries it could be used to disable phones of activists.

A rhetorical question: Is a country with legal indentured servitude freer than one without?
Does EMI testing consider "atypical" uses like this one? I'd assumed that they only tested normal use cases. I'd consider (wrongly, perhaps?) changing speed of a NIC several times per second to be an atypical use.

A bunch of comments here are assuming this is something intentional on Google's part.

Simply from the error message alone, it's obvious that this is a bug. As well as from how easy the workaround is.

Google might do many things wrong intentionally, but I see zero evidence this is one of them. Just a bug, folks.

Yes, agreed, if you are willing to discuss in good faith we could resume the discussion, but that seems very unlikely given your comments so far.

If all you do is try rhetorical deflection by repeatedly saying previous comments weren’t clear when by any reasonable standard they were clear, you’re just arguing with yourself in an echo chamber and it’s not productive for people to engage with you.

You aren’t engaging with the clearly explained positions of my comments, you’re merely splicing quotes out of context and acting like you are entitled to question definitions of basic, widely agreed terms. Claiming subjectivity and confusion over definitions and then disingenuously acting like the other party is the one that’s changing definitions is not a valid argument. You’re just writing a lot of inflammatory verbiage to drum up confusion and selectively quote earlier comments to act like the position they represent isn’t consistent or clear even though it is.

Looking in your comment history it seems you have a very strong habit of doing this in many threads, often with a clear agenda favoring US right-leaning politics, so the most reasonable conclusion I can see is that you are trying to inflame confusion and derail otherwise valid points by converting them into endless semantic arguments about definitions just to support your existing biases.
I would imagine that the app could make the delivery smoother than "download a file on the filesystem, look for a menu somewhere where to add the root ca".

Maybe a single confirmation box "would you like to add this ca" would work.
If this is truly a problem for you, your statement should be "Remind me to never, ever use Bluetooth". It is nothing to do with Android.
To be fair, the packages have to be patched because many applications assume FHS.

The fact that Nix ditches FHS is so what's appealing about it unfortunately there's a huge body of work that assumes it.

Most of the patches though are making libraries or binaries fully referenced from nix store rather than from the PATH or some other implicit state.
I'd say metagame would come down fast and everyone that voted would be voting with 'strongly-held opinions', so the real issue is probably just how strongly can you be for one candidate and limit that.
This is like saying not purposely running into other cars is a just a moral judgment.

It’s not a moral judgment, it’s a foundational element of all functional human societies. If you don’t agree, you should remove yourself from society.
I think you need to make it more clear on how it's different from Product Hunt. BetaList [1] does a good job at it (with the term "beta").

It's also not bad IMO if you represent yourself as a direct PH competitor. I've done plenty of research on successful user acquisition channels [2] and seen a lot of look-alike companies and their only difference was they were successful at utilizing different acquisition channels. Maybe your main distinguishing point will be the acquisition channels you use, rather than your unique-value proposition.

At this point, I'm not entirely convinced your value prop. is compelling enough. Good luck with it, though!

Then make it a generic image editor. What we have now is: an editor but for screenshots, an editor but for selfies, an editor but for cat photos, each with its own cloud storage which leaks (or spills) data once a year and which data is also being processed by the app owners in ways you’d be disgusted about.

There’s a screenshot functionality in the OS and there’s a Share button which should work just as fine and be way more secure.
It's interesting (in a "responsible conspiracy theorizing" kind of way) to note that there has been very little innovation in this space (with the exception of the very recent emergence of 'rolling funds'.) The VC model that funded Apple in the 80s is afaik pretty much the same to what Lemkin describes in the post for today.
I like this app, A LOT.

But, the price tag of US$69.99 doesn't justify its value for my use case of diff and merge in git.
Clever hack, but a lot of people are misinterpreting what’s going on here. These devices emit some very low level of 125MHz energy during normal operation. This software is simply turning that on and off, but not doing anything to increase the amount of emissions.

Presumably the 125MHz emissions are within the FCC allowed envelope anyway, so this isn’t doing anything to exceed normal emissions limits. This only works in a quiet RF environment, as noted in the README.

There is no need to be concerned about this signal reaching aircraft or otherwise interfering with normal transmissions.

Mask mandate is not a magical solution, however it will significantly reduce the spread.

Basically the only option we have is to reduce the spread of the virus without really massively hurting the economy. At same time give scientists and labs everything they need to create a working vaccine verified by FDA rigorous quality process.

A vaccine that kills even more people due to side effects and not vetted thoroughly is even a worse solution.

Biden can’t close businesses and go on full lockdown. Everyone can wear masks in public and still go to work. That is not a huge ask. There are many pragmatic options.
”not an issue that is top of mind for many Trump supporters.” with a group that large I could replace 'gay marriage' with anything else and it would still be true. It might not be on spot number 1 for shared worry. However pretending that a _substantitial_ part does not have it on top of their mind (even if just to piss liberals) is dishonest.

Colorado would like a word.

We need an HN-like website without a downvote button. Community commentary around STEM-related subject matter.
Thank you for posting this, it was a very helpful perspective for me to hear.

One thing I am curious about – what sorts of people do you see posting things like "We need to make lists of every trump supporter"?
A summary of the changes follows:

"H1B applicants will need to be earning a salary equivalent to the 45th percentile of their profession's salary if they're an entry-level worker, rising to 95th percentile for higher-skilled workers. In the past, the boundaries were set at the 17th and 67th percentiles respectively."

I work in the Higher Ed space and it is a common practice to use cheap student labor (particularly captive international student labor) J1/F1 holders who are then transferred into OPT for a year and then onto H1 status for an additional six years of servitude/captivity.

I want to be clear that I am not opposed to immigration or foreign labor. Rather, I oppose treating these employees as a cheap source of labor. It is unfair to them and deflates pay for all employees. I actually like programs like OPT that provide a path for international students to begin to repay what is often huge debt, particularly when compared to wages in their home countries. They should however be paid fairly.

I would like to conclude with this.

I have a friend who recently applied for a senior position at a private university (one with a name you would recognize). The positional called for a data scientist with ML and AI experience. I know because they asked me for a reference. They were offered the position but told that the absolute maximum the university would pay was $65k per year as that was what the former employee (a graduate who they transitioned to an H1 visa) was paid.

I suspect the Yale case is basically this as well. A university that wants to avoid paying the prevailing wage and has been able to avoid that by exploiting former international graduates. If they feel that either their employee is not a level 4 or that the prevailing wage estimates are wrong they can appeal.
There are lots of things to be said about Nix and NixOS, and many of these things have been mentionned in this page, but there's one thing I really like with Nix : the fact the the configuration is expressed as a function that takes its own result as argument, and that the final configuration is the fixed point of that function. This is a very powerful concept, as these functions can be composed together.

I think this idea is not specific to Nix, and I wish it was used a lot more in configuration languages. For example, it was something I really missed when using Ansible. The lack of this feature means that writing the inventory is much harder than it needs to be, and I've seen horrible hacks that try to get around this.
It's just a webified version of pgtune:

No, I absolutely acknowledge the value of a "docker image" as, essentially, an interchange format.

But it's also reached for as a solution for a whole heap of other things which are much better done in other ways.
Don't worry; the lockdowns will never stop.
Yes, tearing it out of heart for $100 because emergency. A tale as old as time.
Neat. Another workflow that you can use is https://github.com/lox/alfred-github-jump

Lets you search through all your GitHub stars (including own GitHub repos).

I have over 16,300 stars and even with that amount of repos, the search is instant due to SQLite db used. (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/github-stars)

What's cool is that you can modify actions on a repo. So I made modification so that cmd+return would open issues, opt+return would clone repo to ~/clones & open it in VSCode, cmd+shift+return will do file search on repo instantly etc. (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/small-workflows)

I’m with you. Some people occasionally forget semicolons, should we have a library for that too? “Wrap all your statements in this pre-processor function call (it’s just another line in your build pipeline) and we’ll take care of the semicolons for you.”

Including a feature in the OS that allows apps to prohibit the user from capturing the output of their own screen is bad intent.
The Cookie AutoDelete extension lets you sidestep these problems completely. You don't need to rely on trust to control your cookies, but a whitelist fully managed by you.
How many deaths were caused by the lockdown? I know we cant easily measure this but the number is surely substantial and by not keeping this in mind we are implicitly saying the number is zero, which leads us to make bad decisions.
That’s a very long winded way of saying supporting a man who went on stage and openly opined that ingesting disinfectant could be a solution for covid is very sane

Tesla reported $14.5 billion in cash on hand in Q3 2020. More factories are coming :)

In the meanwhile, Toyota has no EVs, no FSD software business, no network of EV chargers, no solar panel business, no energy storage business, no insurance business. It faces serious disruption and their statement is actually an act of desperation. It takes years to pivot in the auto industry, and they are many years behind.
> Therefore Chef (they other tools are equivalent in my view) is IMHO not a good enough tool to manage dev environments.

I agree, but your and my definition of “good enough” is not the same as everyone else’s. These tools wouldn’t be as heavily used if folks didn’t feel they solved a problem they had.
I've met people who don't realize how to exploit everyone around them, sure. Don't know how to distinguish them from those who can but don't.
Yes, but fortunately the apps on iOS can't block an OS-level feature, only take action in their app
The author calls Austria a German state just like Bavaria.
I hope the new maintainers will be more interested in maintaining it. Kaleidoscope is a good app, but the high price point felt mismatched to the lack of basic updates. I assumed it was abandoned until now.

Hopefully the new owners don’t try to squeeze more money out of existing customers by switching to a subscription model or making an arbitrary paid 3.0 version at this point.
The survivorship bias [1] is rampant, especially in the tech/startup world. Huge media brands like TechCrunch talking about the "winner takes all" companies (Google, Netflix, etc.) Everyone loves to talk about the big winners and associate with them. I guess it's human nature.

I'm really glad there are sites like Failory [2] that talk about founder failures (I've seen them on HN front page several times). I'm also trying to do the same with my research project on acquisition channels [3]. I often found I can learn WAY more from people who failed at something and their advice on "things to be aware of" vs. people who succeeded. Many people who failed usually tried 10 different things and know the aspects of what worked/didn't vs. people who succeeded and tried 2-3 things and got lucky in 1.

Right, code that you copy from stackoverflow never has security vulnerabilities.
ES5 is a low requirement. I'd rather use a lib that did a better job than one that returns true for the string '[object Array]' or have the app decide for itself what its own types are.
At least you're not in a walled garden. /s
Most of them are. :) Except for Huawei, I haven't seen an Android user not using Google Play Services. There is probably statistically-insignificant number of users just having F-Droid on a LineageOS who do not use Play Store, Push services or don't consume their ads. So most Android users are indirectly also Google users.
In my opinion, it’s solving the problem at the wrong level. If you, as a government, want to coerce someone into solving this problem, it should be forcing browser vendors to provide more visibility into and control over (especially third-party) cookies.

Instead, we have a banner you have to interact with as the price to visit pretty much any website.
Violation of someone's freedom is a pretty silly stance, when there's plenty of banks to choose from.
There has to be some kind of exception for payment apps or else it's pretty dumb, how else would you make the payment
The shot->image-process->save->share cycle takes user time, and is an inconvenience that some people will even pay money to avoid. Since we're talking about screenshots, we're actually talking about typically, developers, tech writers and marketers who are automating their day-to-day workflow.
That's not evidence. And it does appear that they didn't actually help Biden.
The reason for it is that if they didn’t the the big artists wouldn’t put their music on Spotify because they’d get so little money.

Correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like a smaller artists are essentially subsidising the larger ones.
I suspect that native Americans would like a word with your word.
The app isn't alerted. Rather apps can indicate they have sensitive information via FLAG_SECURE. This is useful in preventing things like your bank account information from persisting in the recents snapshots.

Why this blocks manual screenshots with no override though is bonkers insane. But likely a case of an incomplete feature than malice as it's not unreasonable to assume both entry points for screenshots hit the same internal path.
I’m curious why you don’t include the user acquisition report on the email you send out. As it stands I need to enter my email, check my email, click a link to a page that consists of a link to download the pdf. Im not being snarky, I’m honestly curious if there was a reason for setting up that way.

first commit is from 2013 [0], first Node that had Array.isArray was 0.1.15 from 2009 [1], thus making is as Node module was pointless, but polyfill for browsers might have some sense.

Does one already exist?

If not, why? And what are all apps that use screenshot APIs doing? “Worse than stock but with some branding and ads?”

Just looked at what iOS screenshot apps offer. Mostly, just what I wrote above: worse functionality but with branding.
Sorry, it was the Google Pay verification not play store. I did it a few weeks ago, might have misread it but pretty sure that's what they wanted.

Convolution. It's a common, everyday technology that comes with varying degrees of chrome and user handholding. No special magic going on there (except for being able to get your hands on a good impulse response for the space/room in question).
I live here for >10 years, but not a citizen. Yet, I read some laws and learned some history b/c I'll be applying for citizenship soon.

It's a story of gradual centralization since mid-19th-century at least. It had pretty much only common currency then, but now many more things are common: criminal code, military, national bank, elements of civil law, constitution, organization of highways, the last final judicary instances, personal taxes + VAT + import duties at the federal level, common national security agency, many federal laws, types of immigration permits, laws wrt naturalization (with some regional changes).

It goes only one way, pretty much every federal law leaves some space for cantons and for communes to specify details, but the trend is that this space left for cantons/communes shrinks over time.

E.g. the naturalization law which I'm interested in says on the federal level that applicants should be able to communicate at least at B1 (speaking/listening) / A2 (reading/writing) level of the cantonal official language. Most cantons leave it as is, but some (e.g. canton Thurgau) increased it to B2/B1. My canton (Zurich) leaves only little space for communes to influence the naturalization process (pretty much they can only check whether somebody is integrated, as in if they have Swiss acqauintances and visit local events and know something about the commune). Other cantons can leave communes more flexibility, e.g. to set higher level of language requirements or time someone lived in them.
Yeah, that's the one. Though I didn't actually mean to include it, because Cloudflare hasn't ever done this; I was just trying to include both Microsoft and Netflix.
Google Photos tests putting editing features behind a paywall
My biggest gripe about Kildescope is still that you can't modify the file paths directly and folder diff have a tree view so diffing nested folders just results in a billion tabs. Affinity unbelievably slow.

Seems like Meld/Beyond Compare are still the only serious diff+merge tool out there UI/UX wise.
The best way to keep that from happening, though, is emphasis on how the real election is the election for the electors.

Recounts and court challenges are fine, as long as they keep the discussion about making sure that the chosen electors actually represent how people voted. If we start seeing any push to appoint different electors or claims that it would be legitimate for electors to vote a different way, however, we need to pay attention and push back hard.
Thx for the info, i was unaware of this.
I feel like we need one with downvotes on the submissions.
Completely agree. So annoying especially when it take half of mobile device screen

I think with tracking protection in modern browsers it should be absolutely fine to allow websites to store data in any possible way (cookies, local storage, websql etc)
I’ve found the opposite. Editing audio and video is the same workflow and you have two editors to choose from. They rock in my experience. When moving cuts between platforms you should play with EDLs or edit decision lists. That’s how we move between Premier and Resolve when we absolutely have to.
