But a particular bad mark in Facebook's case was Palmer stating, as a representative of the company, that they would never require a Facebook account. Consumers might've bought the product based on that statement.
The technical means that you use to accomplish tracking doesn't matter at all. Even server-side storage is covered.

Storing a cookie that says the the user opted out of tracking is perfectly fine.

It is bad to encourage profit from a disaster because it creates a perverse incentive where you hope for more disaster. If you can profit from a disaster it is fine up until greed begins to interfere with solving the disaster.

Ask HN: What Is a Good Hierarchy of Proof?
I've gradually come to see that the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect is an abstraction even though it refers (with good reason) just to newspapers. I've become hyper skeptical (always wait for more evidence, get the other side of the story, etc.), and the evidence so far supports its effectiveness. Generally my belief is proportional to my knowledge.

But what if you need assign a strong belief to a topic that you don't have the bandwidth (time, mental, etc.) to put into learning about it? What I want to ask about is how you structure this, from the highest (I can more or less read this conclusion and basically accept it) to lowest (I wouldn't accept this conclusion if my life depending on it).

I tried to outline my own hierarchy:

* Meta-analysis of papers that have been reproduced.

* Paper that has been reproduced.

* Meta-analysis of papers that haven't been reproduced.

* Paper that hasn't been reproduced.

* Books: As far as I've seen most book reviews are generally "Did I like what I just read?" and have little to do with fact checking. This [instance](https://www.thecut.com/2019/05/naomi-wolf-interview-book-error-bbc-interview.html) comes to mind.

* Anecdotes: Dismissed out of hand unless it's addressing the equivalent of an existence proof.

Does Migadu run rainloop? My biggest annoyance with it is that I cannot bookmark a URL or add it to the TODO list.
Thanks for sharing this. There are echoes of my own journey here.

I truly believe that "slow and steady wins the race".
I think this is the essence of the much-bandied "do things that don't scale" advice. Scaling inherently involves abstraction and generalisation, engaging with individual human beings can generate much clearer insights until it becomes impractical (scale being a forced issue).
100% ditto
Even antibody tests can underestimate the number of infections as the levels can drop below the detection threshold in some patients after several months. This effect will become more pronounced the longer the pandemic continues. In order to get really accurate data on infections we have to repeatedly test the same subjects, like in the UK's REACT study.

Or alternatively test for T cell response. But that's a more complex and expensive assay.
To be clear, I wasn't talking about geographical integration, but further integration of national institutions. E.g. An EU army, a shared EU tax policy...
People can always smell weakness, particularly if you're shy or lacking in confidence. They'll sense something isn't quite right and might take an instant dislike to you.

>RedHat bought the CentOS project and they did it in the service of RHEL

It's funny, when a corporation buy's a community and then decides something without asking the community and even cut the support-time, who could imagine that people get angry?? Has RedHat the same marketing firm as Oracle?
I take it back
There are lots of things that I believe to be important for the government but not at all important for other contexts. I suspect that's true for you too.

You probably support democratic control over the government where each citizen gets one vote. But very few Americans support democratic control over private corporations (that would be socialism after all). There are enormous numbers of such examples.

I think it is unreasonable to claim that because the constitution limits the state's ability to restrict speech that Americans believe that other actors should not be able to restrict speech in places where they exhibit control. It certainly could be the case that Americans support free speech more broadly, but it definitely does not follow from just being in the constitution.
Which is probably not legal.
Everytime I have been invited to a 1 on 1 with someone high up the org ladder, I have been given talking points from the people in between
My strategy is to chunk the topics I'm interested in. At least on a per day basis but usually longer, reading several books on a topic, experimenting and taking notes.
From outside the US, this attitude is impossible to understand when there's 9/11 worth of horrible, miserable, lonely deaths each and every day.

It's so strange. After 9/11, Americans completely remade their society and started a series of pointless, losing wars. But COVID has killed a hundred times as many, seriously injured god knows how many more, and people just go on about "big brother, destruction of freedoms, and government control".

That's what's "insane" to me - a major, deadly pandemic that the world's richest country refuses to deal with due to clinical paranoia.
I use filestack.com for uploading and handling assets.. so yes I do believe this could be a possibility.

I'd love to see clojure take a bigger role in the financial services sector. The fact that it runs on the JVM, gives it a nice foot in the door.

Ideally, it would be great if clojure replaced Python and Scala as the defacto language used to interact with Apache Spark. That's probably not likely, though. It's hard enough to get a lot of folks past spark's weirdness without throwing a lisp into the mix. But it does seem like a functional JVM language that's not Scala would be the optimal way to use spark.
> * Herd immunity is going to be reached before everybody catches it, no matter what*

That’s only true for a very slow-moving epidemic. For a fast mover, like this one, there is always -always- an overshoot of the steady state number needed for “herd immunity” (which, btw, is a term created to describe vaccinated populations, not wild infections).
So much this! I'm one of the people that appreciates seeing "behind" the product very much :)

If you feel that a real human person is behind all that, and not a faceless company, you're also much more likely to share feedback. (Nobody would share improvement ideas for Windows with Microsoft, since you can be sure that those go straigth to /dev/null (or, more appropriately, the recycle bin).)
That sort of clause is pretty much universally challenged by anyone with a bit of experience and credibility, too, at least here in the UK. And so it should be. That goes whether we're talking about inventions (which normally means patents) or other intellectual property such as copyright (which appears to be what we're talking about in OP's situation).

"In the course of your employment" or similar words used to be a more reasonable standard that was widely considered fair to both sides for salaried employees. In other words, things you do on company time, using company resources and/or in the company's line of business go to the company, but they have no claim beyond that. I haven't spoken to a lawyer about this recently, so if the issue might affect you, please check whether this is still correct and don't just rely on my comment here.
Thanks for that link, I haven't come across it before.
I am generally not keen on watching YouTube videos as part of my HN experience, but this particular video is brilliant - a must-watch in my opinion (spoiler: when a physicist is also a baker....)
That’s an odd rebuttal, because the first is true and the second has large grains of truth.

There was Russian hacking, — as best we can tell, that’s where the Podesta emails came from. No one serious alleges that they tampered with the vote tallies, but we can credibly say they swung the election.

“Asset” is frustratingly vague word for Democrats to use, but a lot of the collusion narrative has panned out. The Mueller report revealed that the Trump campaign welcomed Russian interference, stopping just short of alleging outright collusion.

Meanwhile — basically everything Republicans allege now is laughably false, and many are outright calling for a coup.

I'm not a lawyer, but I would argue that other parties have already attempted to dispute the unconstitutional election changes in those state courts, including their supreme courts, and they've been unanimously dismissed for jurisdictional or procedural reasons. For example, I believe the application of laches in Pennsylvania to be improper because Republicans had sought a stay of the election changes prior to the election. Thus far, it appears the Pennsylvania courts refuse to adjudicate the constitutionality of these election changes.
Well, Damore was fired after being explicitly invited to give feedback. Probably anyone at Google who agrees with the firing is going to keep their head down because why risk being chopped like Damore was?

100% Agree
I'm a diehard Squeezebox/LMS user still using three Squeezebox devices on a daily basis.

With that said, the synchronized playback has never been really what I would call great. It is roughly in synch so you can go form room to room and hear the same stuff, but when you get to an area where you can hear two devices at once there is definitely a disconcerting delay on one of them. Maybe that's because I've got one hard wired and one on wifi, but I thought it was supposed to correct for these differences.
Agree. If Oculus had the best headset for my needs, I would buy a non-Facebook one too.
How do you test your tests?
Heh I saw this the other day and just assumed that easter egg had always been there.
> It shouldn’t take 4 years to learn those skills though.

No skill is binary. You can learn some of this in a single class. You get more practice if you take two dozen classes. You get even more practice if it is your profession.

Quality humanities education teaches empathy and the ability to analyze and judge sources created by humans, especially written text. That can absolutely happen at an earlier age. I'm certainly on board with increasing the amount of history education offered to high schoolers, though I suspect that many people are not.

Google have done exactly the same thing with Nest. They removed the integration with Alexa unless you migrated to a Google account.
> I don't understand your logic: you'd rather there be no games on Linux at all instead of some working well, some with hacks, and some not working?

Other than the false dichotomy. Yes. I would rather not have the game on Linux, than have to rely on proton.

> Edit: regarding the "works for me", I see your point but what else would I do? Stay on Windows because some games, not the ones I play, don't work on Linux? Of course I'm switching.

Dual boot. It takes seconds to boot to reboot into another OS, drives are dirt cheap. There is also GPU passthrough (which I am going to try with a Geforce 1030 or similar card).
I frankly can't see how this is inciting a flamewar. Tesla has a pretty good record of being terrible at manufacturing. I've seen innumerable comments on this site where people make similar "what makes you think that..." comments that are inciting argument. I don't see why mine is special.

Furthermore, in the linked comment, the person I was replying to did, in fact, completely miss the point of my comment and make an entirely non sequitur resposne. Will they be getting warned too?
> You're being disingenuous. But I think you know that.

No I'm not. Transmission is a kind of repetition, but some people seem to think that YouTube has some obligation to transmit (i.e. repeat) their lies about "widespread election fraud." It's not a government service, so there's no First Amendment aspect to this at all, and the allegations themselves are disingenuous lies, so YouTube's moral obligation is on the side of removal.
Everyone reaches the point where they just want to live in a yurt and milk goats eventually.

GDPR deals with identifiers that can tie data to a single individual. Cookie IDs are just one way of doing that, true.

That's why GDPR is so powerful and a well thought out regulation. Replace the technology completely, but GDPR still applies as user-unique identifiers are still used. ex, cookie with fingerprint.js, nothing really changes. You still need to ask for consent for user-level tracking.
I am fully aware of it.

ISO C, ISO C++, OpenGL/Vulkan, OpenMAX and OpenSL ES are certainly available on GNU/Linux.

Just as Cocos-2dx, Unreal and Unity are, the main engines used on Android games.

However, having 2% of users responsible for 50% of support requests + extra development effort, is what puts GNU/Linux off their plans.

> OTOH, effectiveness is pretty marginal. There have been some (minor) gains on disclosure. Somewhat better progress on data selling/sharing/security. But, no real gains on consent, which is a big part of the regulatory effort and this specific case.

From experience, a lot of folks were waiting to see what Google/Amazon/FB/etc were doing and using them as examples of what to do. These fines should help apply some downward pressure now that the regulator has explicitly called out this illegal behaviour.

> What gave you the idea that there is an end-game? The social dialogue is never ending.

Then this is a denial-of-service attack. Bad-faith actors can hijack the public conversation forever by simply refusing the budge. The public conversation then becomes a free and indefinite platform for them to spread propaganda, and any attempt to change that is portrayed as a great evil.
Also, I started to gather a reading list on technical writing not for completely new projects such as books or blogging. But rather to improve how I communicate to my clients and collaborators. In concrete terms I want to write better documentation and specifications for the projects I'm building (typically custom web apps for SMEs).

Then there is also a synergy with my part-time teaching job. Writing better handouts, structuring assignments and so on.
That is not correct. The vast majority of patients stop being contagious within 10 days of infection.

This sounds like the beginnings of burnout or depression... do you find joy in anything else? Does anything motivate you?

I went through this for about 3 years after my divorce. I couldn't find motivation or joy in anything. I turned to helping other people solve their problems because at least I was helping others to get through what I couldn't figure out how to get through myself. There was a lot of time spent in reflection and introspection and about a million cups of tea drank while looking out of the window trying to will myself to do something, anything. It was a tough run, I was just dragging myself out of it when COVID hit and kicked me while I was already down. I think I'm just beginning to be back on the rise again now. I can't promise I've got any advice that can help, but it certainly sounds like you are where I've been.
Have you ever been to frankfurt? It's not perfect, but their English is a lot better than most brits...
I don't have any inside info here, but they could have gotten much more granular information than how many people were using Instagram and WhatsApp.

For instance, daily time spent in using Instagram on a per-user basis, whether that use was associated with a drop in Facebook use, and how patterns in that relationship broke down across demographics.

I didn't think they were no-brainer acquisitions at the time, but they've certainly turned out to be in hindsight. Was Facebook just smart or lucky, or did they have a lot more data than we did to judge those decisions?

No problem!

PS I think your Pro tier is too cheap ;) anyone that wants to remove your branding (and perhaps whitelabel the product as their own?) is a big enough outfit to pay more than what you're asking.
In the same way that FB, Whatsapp, and pretty much every other app works. I doubt there are any chat apps that don't encrypt between the client and server.
Every sentence you emit is completely false. There is working medication, there is a regimen (I assume that's what you mean by regime).

Going far, going small (2018)
This kind of sounds like depression or anxiety, which most everyone has to some extent now. Loss of interest in normal activities is a key symptom. I've heard that mental health professionals are still trying to figure out how much to pathologize the very bad but mostly normal responses people are having to 2020.

Everyone that's having issues should talk to their doctor and/or see a therapist. They know what they are doing.
> As to the extra voting in Texas. 2020 had an additional + 1205300 Republican votes and + 1381258 Democratic votes in a solid red state which just hit 1/2 of voting age population. That’s 46.6% Republican and 53.4% Democrat and means those extra votes very much favored Democrats.

You can’t conclude that because it overlooks third parties (who performed very well in 2016) and people who changed their votes from 2016 to 2020. That happened in suburbs all over the country. My traditionally red county (where voting was always super easy) went for Clinton by less than a point, but for Biden by 14 points. Voter turnout was up only 4 points, so Biden’s gain came mainly from flipping votes.

In Texas, Trump won basically the same share of the much larger turnout compared to 2016 (dropping just 0.1 points). Biden’s gain came almost entirely at the expense of third party candidates.

Indeed, nationwide, turnout went up 11 points. But Trump’s vote share also went up, from 46.1% to 46.8%. Again, Biden’s increased margin came entirely at the expense of third parties.
