given that the surveillance view and scope of a ring camera isn't necessarily confined to the owners' home, it doesn't seem far-fetched.

It's a system by which bystanders are footing the bill themselves to add nodes to surveillance networks that may be used in an authoritarian function with little permission from the node owner in the unforeseeable future.

> But also by stacking the offers, I believe I'm getting more value here than they do.

Your data is valuable not just for the immediate value that its used for (e.g. grocery stores predicting how much they need to restock of product X aggregating over consumer choices of all users). Its also useful as a data point in larger statistical analysis of an "audience" (i.e. a group of people with certain attributes) to marketing organizations. Every datum that they get makes their models somewhat more accurate.

Most of these analysis are still pretty primitive today (AFAIK, maybe someone from the NSA or G00G can say otherwise). But these tools are getting better every year, and so is the value of your data.

Happy to Take Part in Black Friday Sale for Up to 7% off wow classic gold cheap
Recently, World of Warcraft Classic gamers have been having a heated discussion about "how to beat the NAXX Ice Dragon more smoothly". Although Blizzard has announced that the Ice Dragon's Frost Aura damage will be changed to 600 points per 2 seconds, Ice Resistance is still the focus of the discussion. As a result, the price of various items that can improve ice resistance has gone up, such as today's "Petrified Scarab".

Petrified Scarab Profit Analysis

Petrified Scarab is a defensive accessory dropped by the Three Jewels of Qi'ra from the Anchorah replica in World of Warcraft Classic, which increases spell resistance by 100 points for 1 minute and decreases spell damage by 10 points per spell. In the regular state, it takes 10 times damage and then no more, from 100+90+80...... 20+10, the total spell resistance gain in a CD period is only 550 points, plus Princess Hahoran can already RUSH, so this equipment is not so hot in the Angela stage.

However, as we get closer to NAXX opening time, the price of Petrified Scarab is getting higher and higher, and the reason for this is that tests have shown that Ice Dragon's aura damage does not reduce the number of layers of Petrified Scarab, in other words, Petrified Scarab can reside with 100 points of spell resistance for 1 minute

IVF wasn’t invented until the 1970s, and even in 1976, 2/3 of middle aged women had given birth to 3+ children.

There is also the scientific question of whether sexual orientation is innate or a preference. For a long time, the science was wrong. Key research was done on that in the 1990s and early 2000s, and that filtered into the public conscience over time. Even as late as 2013, only 40% of Americans recognized that sexual orientation was innate. But once that premise became accepted, support for legalizing same-sex marriage quickly followed.
OT, so briefly: I'm interested in the possibility of applying much greater than usual domain expertise to create science education content which is more correct and insightful, focused on integrated transferable understanding. An unresolved challenge is how to make such available in a form and setting that actually gets it used. A quick check of the NCERT science textbooks turns up error and opportunity for improvement. So, is there some setting in which one might say "for NCERT class foo, book Science, chapter bar, here is a free correcting-and-extending supplement", and potentially see significant use? Tnx...

In all of the EFF's writing they make it sound like the police are tapping into Ring cameras and snooping without owner being aware. In ALL scenarios they have written about, it's been users pushing their content to the police. The owner of the Ring camera is either specifying to share a specific bit of footage around an event to their local police OR in this case the owner is specifying they want to stream their Ring / Security footage to some service which the police can use. They always mention this as an aside like it's not important.

I am so frustrated with the continued alarmist reporting from the EFF around Ring cameras. Can't we get information without all the fear mongering? Look at the title of this article and look at the comments. People don't read the content-- they just read the title.

Have you actually ever visited China? The US incarcerates, bombs and has more murders (^apart from a few 3rd world hellholes) per capita than anywhere else. What type of government do you call that? "Glorious Democracy"?

This hyperbole helps no one and this forum deserves better. 1 in 5 people on Earth live there, ascribing all the bad things to that many people is disingenuous at best and malicious jingoism at worst.
> Is there a practical difference between someone choosing to join your cause and your coercing someone to join your cause?

Yes, in that one involves coercion, which in itself has a moral weight.

> Is there a practical difference between someone choosing to remain uninvolved and someone choosing to join the opponents of your cause?

Yes, in that those are different actions and as such will produce different outcomes.

I assume that those two hypotheticals were intended as counterexamples to the principle that being involved in activity that produces or contributes to harm is wrong even if you don't specifically intend the harm.

It's not as if e.g. buying a kidney on the black market is morally equivalent to kidnapping a person and surgically removing it from them (presuming that that is how the vendor acquired it). But it's more absurd to pretend that you can engage in that transaction, proclaim "I didn't intend and don't condone any harm ensuing from the acquisition of this organ" and thus absolve yourself of any guilt.

Sleep Disturbance as Potential Risk and Progression Factor for Parkinson’s Disease

Emerging evidence from the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research implicates sleep quality as an important factor underlying risk and disease progression in this disorder [2, 3]. There is also evidence that the presence of sleep disturbances may increase the risk of developing PD.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6700634/

Edit:

The mechanism is even partially established. Serious sleep deprivation is known to elevate the levels of two proteins that are known to be risk factors for certain kinds of dementia, one of which is Tau (I don't recall the other):

if you require people to comment in order to make downvotes then they will make low quality comments so they can downvote. In this way, downvoting is seen as a minimum level of participation. By eliminating that possibility you change the incentive structure and the behavior of people in response to the incentives will also change.
I'm less concerned with privacy as an individual right (though I do support that), than privacy as a collective right: the balance of power between governments and citizens, and between corporations and consumers.
I'm way out of my depth here, but interested in trying to understand a few of these things, particularly because I've long wondered how functional programmers reason about the "effects" that happen under the hood when dealing with Turing machines which are essentially 100% state.

Specifically:

1) do you consider variable reference to be an effect because you're getting a value from memory/disk/network? Or is it effectful simply because you're replacing a name with a value somehow? I'd love to understand the point of view here.

2) Relatedly, why do you say that creating a lexical closure is effectful (I assume here that we are storing an immutable memory address, or at least a value which represents a way to reliably find another value in the future), but using it (dereferencing that address/value) is not? I can see why you'd say that creating a dynamic closure is not effectful (the code is essentially unattached to anything at the time of creation and can easily be represented by a pure value), but using it is (it now inhabits a scope and will act differently depending on that scope).

Having typed that out, I wonder if what you mean is that creating the lexical closure in a language with immutable data means that at the time of creating the closure, you are (one way or another) making a copy of that data, which is an input "effect" in a sense. That isn't, of course, how things actually work in most non-functional (e.g. OO) languages - the lexical closure only binds the name, but the value represented by the name could in fact change if the data itself is mutable.

Anyway, I'm still curious about #1 above. These are the sorts of comments I come to Hacker News to read, so thank you. :)
That's a nonsense argument. Words don't just pop out of existence if there are no instances of the things they describe.

If Tether were in fact receiving real USD to support the billions in USDT it keeps issuing, then why hasn't it handed over financial docs to NYAG, which is investigating it for fraud?

Why don't we see a similar growth in other regulated stablecoins?
I'm a Fender electric guitar guy (Telecasters, Stratocasters, Jazzmasters, Jaguars). Fender has really ramped up their mail order and online business plus customer service.

Definitely don't have the experience asking these questions, but I think this would be much better served as a question to the hiring manager and as follow-up questions post-interview, as opposed to "confrontations" during the interview? Usually after they've extended the offer, before you've accepted, you can have more "real" talks with your supposed manager, which might be a more appropriate time (since you'll eventually have real 1:1s with them anyways).
Many reasons which may indirectly contribute to headaches aside from screen use which you can eliminate to narrow the diagnosis:

#1 Eye sight/power, a simple visit to the ophthalmologist might put you at ease.

#2 Balanced diet, sometimes we consume food which may not be the best in terms of gut health or maintaining acidity in our stomach, this in turn could cause digestive issues leading to headaches. (drink only two cups of coffee spaced 6 hours apart)

#3 Effective breathing, science has linked poor breathing and mental fog which lead to many physical ailments not restricted to headaches, so before you start working it's essential to prime your mind just after you wake up since the brain's neuroplasticity is at it's peak and ready to be tamed, so meditating for 20mins with deep breathing and expansion of your diaphragm could mitigate mental fog which could accrue throughout the day and also decrease afternoon drowsiness. Also get your sinuses checked for any air blockage.

#4 Sleep, make sure you are getting minimum 7-8 hours of sleep every single day, if you say work or family or any other excuse, that means you are not effectively prioritizing your time, no matter how much work or productivity you cram in a day, if you skimp on sleep, beta amyloid proteins get built up in your brtain leading to extreme brain fog or headaches and over many years you could be on the verge of experiencing severe dementia or Alzheimers.

#5 Emotional mindset, Are there troubling issues with your personal life that occupy your mind and not allow you to completely focus, this may seem benign at first but could be the symptom of a larger un-diagnosed emotional issue which can manifest in physical ailments like headaches, digestive issues, joint pains etc. Also Chronic Stress is one of the most leading causes for headaches among adults, so be mindful of your stress levels as cortisol in your blood can alter your mood and physiological states.

and few other factors like, dehydration, skipped meals, hormone fluctuations, and exposure to chemicals are common migraine triggers. Please take care and wishing you great health for 2021!
I strongly disagree. It has a clear point, one you can understand quite clearly with your mind.

Laws against doing things that only desperate poor people do may appear equal, since they in theory apply just as much to the rich. But in practice they only affect the poor. And the way they affect the poor is to close off options, and thereby increase the desperation.

Sure, you should feel that. You should also understand it with your mind.

What was his "popular moral action" that became considered as a "reprehensible mistake"? I'm confused too, thus my question.

Who is holding USDT? Likely traders who went onto Bitfinex (Tether's sister company) and sold their BTC there for what they thought was a good price. BTC, in this scenario, is a bridge to USD, because it can be moved to an OTC desk or a banked exchange and sold for cash.
