You’re right about the literal “your data isn’t for sale” claim.

Still, I have a fun fact: at one point in time, Facebook would let you target an ad to “all men who have any of this list of N emails”, and then accept your list of N emails be N-1 women’s emails, and one man’s emails.

Result: direct targeting of a single individual.

Or, in this case: direct querying of a single individual’s attributes.

I imagine tinder might have closed this hole as well, or maybe it never gave advertisers those exact tools. But these advertising tools can leak a lot of data, and the vendor’s incentive is to leak that data while swearing up and down that it’s safe.

I don't think being rich in energy has anything to do with how easy it is not to over-indulge in it. Plenty of fatty foods that people overeat very very easily.
One thing I would like to have an answer:

The dating app market is filled with anti competitive practices and the dating app market objective is opposite to the objective of its paying users.

But you will never see anyone who has worked at Tinder telling the world what is going on inside this company, not even anonymously, which is weird, how can Tinder buy the silence of its employees ?

> Safety is not an absolute, it's a spectrum.

Use of the safe subset of Rust means the compiler and standard-library offer you a guarantee of the absence of undefined behaviour. That's an absolute guarantee of safety, under Rust's understanding of the word.

It doesn't give you a guaranteed absence of memory-leaks. It certainly doesn't give you a guarantee of whole-program correctness, as Rust isn't a formal verification framework. Both these properties are beyond the scope of 'safety' as Rust uses it.

> It's not disregarded.

It is. Projects are described as written in Rust, treating safe Rust and unsafe Rust equally.

> The point you are disregarding that when porting a C application to rust, unsafe rust is a step up from C, not step down from safe rust.

I explicitly acknowledged this.

> Unless you choose to rewrite from ground up (which is infeasible in many places), you'll need unsafe rust, either for binding or by using tooling that converts the C sources to rust.

Sure, no disagreement there.

> But once you have unsafe rust, you already get all the help that the borrow checker brings and you can gradually shrink the unsafe code.

Sure, and that's a good use of Rust's unsafe features.

> you seem to be advocating for absolutes

Not really. If I had meant to argue that Rust shouldn't have unsafe features, I'd have done so.

In an ideal world all code would be written in a way that completely closes the door on undefined behaviour, but we agree there are good reasons Rust includes its unsafe features, and there are good practical reasons to use them. I'm advocating for a greater emphasis on the use of the safe subset of Rust.

Written in Rust tells me something about the software. Written in 100% safe Rust tells me much more about the software. That's essentially my point.

This distinction doesn't arise with languages like C and JavaScript. All C is unsafe, and all JavaScript is safe. For languages like Rust and D, there's value in being upfront about the use of their safe subsets.
Subsidies for Frontier are pretty galling. I have an urban home in their original core market and they wouldn't bother fixing a phone line that went from 4Mb to 2Mb after switching to a new pair when the original went bad. They are pocketing everything and disinvesting in their wires.

LOL let me get this straight, you implemented 1 type of threading in your old "reference" homeserver, and a second type in the new one that's been incomplete for years?

How is this supposed to be supported by all clients, and how is Matrix supposed to be an open protocol, if you can't even maintain feature parity among the first party homeservers? Neither is supported by Element, as you point out, so which one is the "correct" model that a second implementation of the homeserver protocol should follow? Which one should new clients follow?

Also, when is Dendrite actually going to be a usable replacement for Synapse?

Also, when will you hire an actual professional to represent your company on HN instead of sticking your head into every thread on your product? It makes it seem like you don't have better things to do than be on HN all day.

Matrix is an amateur-hour project. I don't understand why it is so popular on HN. I'd rather use Jabber, full stop.
I assume they will eventually dynamically price based on density, to ensure it's available to whoever needs it and not where other equivalent or faster options are available for less money.

By definition I think the places that need Starlink the most won't hit density limits. But I think a lot of people will buy Starlink just because it's Starlink -- anything so their dollars aren't going to Comcast.

Much of what was regarded as “woke SJW nonsense” 15 years ago is now completely mainstream. I’m sure even you — who clearly has some preoccupation with progressive social thought as you post on about “SJWs” multiple times per day on average — have some beliefs that would have been considered insufferably woke and obnoxious by people like you in 2003.

What's the downside of a ban on Tinder though? Can't you just recreate an account again and again anyway? The worst you have to lose is a burner phone number.

In Germany, it's (mostly) mandated by law to have these (see §4 FeuV for example: https://www.gesetze-bayern.de/Content/Document/BayFeuV2008-4), the only exception is when there's a powerful forced air ventilation system present and operating. Can't remember ever not seeing an interlock as a result, even the cheap IKEA gas stoves have one.

Banning slavery had a big effect. But the ban wouldn't hold if slavery made economic sense. It isn't as though the the people were suddenly imbued with a moral spirit - we've had human history for literal millennia. Slavery being bad for slaves is not a complicated concept, people knew about that forever.

Making slavery unprofitable is more impressive than actually banning it. Both are good, but enabling freedom is still a substantially more powerful change than the simply banning of slavery. Much like how banning heroin doesn't actually cause heroin to die out if there is a demand for it; we may yet see heroin legalised in my lifetime much like marijuana. It is entirely possible. Slavery ain't coming back, it benefits pretty much nobody. There isn't a billion dollar industry in slaves waiting to be discovered.
Yes, but it does force people not to buy what they want.

Adding another alternative doesn’t change that.

The submitted title ("Tinder extrapolates estimations on your intelligence and sells it") broke the site guidelines by editorializing [1]. Cherry-picking one detail is already a strong form of editorializing, and it's not clear if this even is a true detail, or just a wild spin.

You're welcome to say what you think is important about an article, but please do so in the comments, where your interpretation will be on a level playing field with everyone else's [2], and where you'll have space to explain how you arrived at your interpretation.

I have a hard time seeing how. It seems to work by having some JS code to create a webview getting executed. In a pure C++ app there would be no place that would even be able to interpret that js, or any other "script language" in that pipeline.
This is one spot where I strongly prefer the standard from the Google guidelines[1]. "Reviewers should not require the author to polish every tiny piece of a CL before granting approval. Rather, the reviewer should balance out the need to make forward progress compared to the importance of the changes they are suggesting." Getting caught up in all the little details rarely serves this purpose; more likely it's being done in the service of something anti-productive like a personality conflict.

I don't really experience this issue and I use Web storm which is basically the same thing. I find that the dynamic type hinting plus the combination of using JS Doc formatted comments rarely leaves me with any ambiguity when writing vanilla JavaScript.
Yeah that doesnt work anymore, if you recreate your profile several time, you wont get banned, but you will be granted a low ELO score for life. And don't try to create a new account with a new phone number of new facebook account, they also match old accounts with the phone itself. Bumble is doing the same.

If you want to recreate your account, you need, a new facebook account, but with friends on it, otherwise they know it is a fake one, a new number, a new phones and new pictures. So easy to say that this is impossible

It's a myth that go is faster than java. Uses less memory, yes, but it's about the same speed in real world applications. I also would not call it a system language since it doesn't give you fine grained control over memory like rust, C or C++ give you, which is necessary to build an OS or anything with some sort of time guarantees, like audio drivers.

Also the guy is showing his lack of experience with a bunch of these languages, and doesn't talk about build speed or how IDEs & indexers handle large code bases or how well build speed scales. It's an infamous problem with haskell for example and he doesn't mention it once.

I think you're using an overly broad interpretation of GDPR here. When Tinder/Match, which is a US company, processes the PII of US citizens, there is no federal law that is in effect. Of course if you live in CA you have CCPA to be concerned with, and Brazil now has a law as well, the LGPD.
An accident most likely, since the policy dates to the 19th century.
Thank you for the feedback. It's actually simple. I realised that I need to create a better system for myself to learn as I read. So I did some research and created a system that I will try myself. In that process, I decided to share because a lot of my friends asked me about this topic. HN picked this up organically.

It would be great if you add your feedback and ideas about the topic. I'd be happy to learn from you on how you read books and what works.

No, but when you define it that way it's hard to have a discussion about "health". Generally if people aren't dying or aren't living in pain it's unclear what's a good measure or if it can be considered indicative of physical "health".

It's also pretty rare that something would cause great suffering without reducing life expectancy.

There's absolutely a ton of evidence showing improvement to some markers. But similarly you could "improve" them with many drugs and people would naturally be skeptical on whether there's a real improvement to health without trying to treat some specific condition. And you'd usually defer to life expectancy to make the determination.
I'll second Zulip, though I think the message view and "zooming in/out" they implemented is just as much of a game changer as the threading model.
The formula is different if you are a home owner, at least it was when there was more appreciation. You don't mind paying a higher mortgage as much if you are capturing a huge chunk of your current salary in home equity each year. Bay area home ownership is where a lot of people made their money.
Thank you for the advice! I'll add that to the list
Silicon Valley has a single major drawback, cost of living, which is downstream of land use and transportation policy that’s virtually identical throughout the country. Basically every large and growing metropolitan area in the nation sees the same relative price trends. Famous low cost alt-SV Austin has seen its Case-Schiller index move within 15% of San Jose. To argue that its governance is especially backwards or selfish and, thus, deserving of failure is to indict the entire nation.

So it seems to be using AWS Polly's "standard" Joanna voice. However, you can also use "neural" voices (basically enhanced with ML) which sound somewhat better.

Space Engineers doesn't work out-of-the-box on Linux. But you can right-click on it in the list in Steam and check the box that says "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool". Then select a version of compatibility tools from the list and see if it starts up. For me, it started fine with 4.11-13.

There's also a room in Keen Software House's Discord which is dedicated for unofficial Linux help. Sometimes a patch will break the game in an unexpected way. For example I remember a patch early this year that made it so that the version check would crash the game on Linux (something to do with KSH's HTTPS certificate) and the easiest solution was to just null-route the patch server address in iptables or blacklist the domain in pihole until a later patch fixed the problem.

Just checked, and apparently that was the card in the machine I had issues with. I think part of the problem is that it was new at the time. So, I can't really fault the drivers per se. I never had any issues with it after they were fixed.
A less malevolent interpretation could simply be that they're using AWS services to do whatever machine learning / algorithms for profile matching.

It's very possible they aren't selling data, just sharing it with 3rd parties like AWS, Google Cloud, or whatever vendors they use for data processing / analysis.

But I agree, if they have no intent on selling the data, the wording could be narrowed to make that more clear.
Unfeeder – An Automated News Feed
One thing to point out is that not all recordings are neccesarily public domain depending on the state. Recordings taken on private property or in private situations could be restricted. For example, if an officer comes onto private property without a warrant, reasonable suspicion, or other lawful purpose may be violating the property owner's right to privacy, and thus your viewing of the data may also be a violation. A more concrete example would be if the captured conversation included information that is statutorily protected for which the officer is permitted to inquire about the information but a regular person would not (license details for vehicles, firearms, etc).
