The cost of a phone becomes a barrier to scaling fraud because once you use a phone for fraud it can be blacklisted.

Advertiser fraud is hardly the only type of fraud. It happens with services you directly pay for like ridesharing and food delivery as well. The cost of fraud becomes another cost for a service provider and prices for all users need to be raised to offset losses from fraud.

For smaller businesses without the brain power to combat fraud, their margins will be greatly hurt by fraud, making it harder to compete.

I'm in favor of what Apple is doing myself, but it's definitely a legitimate unintended consequence of this measure.

What would be useful is if Apple became the gatekeeper for tracking fraud and companies could report ephemeral identifiers for fraud that only Apple can de-anonymize and then Apple provides fraud scores for ephemeral identifiers on account signup.
What I'm hearing is that if I live stream myself performing a crime, and I'm arrested, I'm now a valid statistic for a journalist being arrested.

Is that accurate? I strongly disagree with you, if so.
I think journalism has become dangerous to democracy more so than being a journalist is more dangerous than any other white collar job.

The intercept wrote an interesting article where they FOIA'd for communication between journalists and the CIA.

Tldr: the CIA has assets in major news outlets that will do their bidding and publish whatever propaganda suits their agenda.

Show HN: For aspiring data scientists from non-traditional backgrounds
My article in Towards Data Science. I reflect on learning-strategies I would use if I had to start all over again.
This feels like a new level of gross for Amazon in terms of their previous "this open-source thing is mine now" strategy.

Not only is this taking-and-running an open source project, but on top of that, the pricing is per user? This feels like a step beyond "hosting software for you", and towards "building a business with someone else's product"

I see that this is in partnership with Grafana Labs, which I guess is a good thing, but I can't comprehend why Grafana would have gone along with this (short of some sort of "well we're doing it either way" threat from Amazon).

I don't see anything new here that Amazon is providing on top of what Grafana Labs already did. What am I missing?
So was this the first device that used that specific version of Android? I'm curious if it had anything to do with the device itself

Programming is very symbolic whereas natural language is more phonetical, so using one in terms of the other will always be awkward. I feel the best strategy is just to let variable names, for example, be pithy or terse and just use comments to compensate; this is because I’ve found comments are still necessary even with long semantic variable names.
It's interesting that we can't even reliably rank ourselves most of the time. According to the research method of "ask Google and trust the first hit," the average driver has 4 accidents in their lifetime. Next, rule of thumb, square root of 4 is 2, so that's 4 plus or minus 2. So the real answer is not that we're above or below average, but that we don't know. (Unless you've already had 10 accidents or something like that). The quality of a professor, likewise.

For Google yes, I agree. But for services you pay for directly it is your problem because it raises the cost of that service for you.

Of the people I've known with fancy cars, that group would be a minority versus those who want you to know they are rich (even if they're not that rich!). Many people buy the badge/appearance AFAICT, and don't care about handling or other factors.

I don't really know the statistics on it.
When you’re growing at even 10% per month the difference between 50Billion and 400 billion in 50 years is a rounding error on a rounding error. Further, diminishing returns means your stuck investing in ever less profitable operations as you grow. These will often lose money, just look at say Microsoft or Google to see how little an extra 100 billion 10 years ago would give them now.

Nobody is saying they don’t have any upside, but as always it’s the opportunity cost that kills you.

I could be wrong, but the wrinkle I see is that their raking him over the coals is perceived to be in pursuit of their own political goals, not in pursuit of the truth. Their criticisms were trivial (as an extreme example, Melania's performance redesigning the rose garden). Arguably, stories of substance such as police violence were actively suppressed by the state through intimidation.

I largely agree, but this isn't a mono-dimensional topic. The press could remain free in trivial matters while becoming more controlled in matters relevant to governmental accountability.
Well "understandable" sounds dangerously close to acceptable. Because it's foreseeable departments need to be extra judicious in which officers they send into emotionally charged situations, officers lacking self-control are going to do the country more harm than good in protest situations.
Maybe I'm wrong but it seemed like anyone could go in there with a camera and "journalist" written onto their shirt and behave like they don't need to follow orders from the police.

Yeah, the suggestion is that you should run a caching mirror or manually vendor your dependencies.

Other unconventional ideas about go packaging is that new major versions should have a new package name or be available in a subdirectory with the old version existing in perpetuity, and the minimal version selection approach to dependency conflicts.

I'm sure these things work well inside Google, but at least for me the package management situation is a big turn off for the language.
I use both. In fact I've distributed my various projects over multiple browsers. The languages I'm learning are distributed across two Edge profiles because its inbuilt TTS software is amazing. Job seeking and other projects involving frequent video calls are done on separate Brave profiles. Personal browsing is done on Firefox.

It sounds burdensome but it's been the opposite for me actually. Each project has its own bookmarks and mindset, and just having the precise settings, add-ons and information you need avoids confusion and distractions. Obviously, this will not work for different personality types.

To give a small but significant example, there are some Firefox settings I block because of a VPN vulnerability that I leave on on Brave since they are necessary for video calls.
My wife teaches in a small, poor town that is off the beaten path. It is just outside of what most would consider the suburbs (we live on the edge of a suburb and she commutes through rural area to get there). The only grocery store in town is what used to be a locally owned and supplied store, and is now under the branding of a "Piggly Wiggly Xpress." The options are to go there, Dollar General, or drive almost 30 minutes to another option, one of which is a Walmart. Everyone who can just drives to the Walmart.

The local grocery store is the worst excuse for a grocery store I've ever seen. There are only a handful of fresh vegetable options, including $1/lb bananas and $5/head iceberg lettuce. Everything is overpriced and there are very few healthy food options. Apparently a lot of people due to transportation limitations can ONLY shop at this store (or Dollar General), which is expensive and mostly has unhealthy options. There are talks of a Walmart coming in, and I have no doubt it would be a huge quality of life improvements for folks in the town.
This is such a strawman. I doubt you can find evidence of any of the arrested journalists actually getting convicted of a crime from their arrest, let alone a large percentage.

They use a java compiler plugin [1] (hence the need for IDE plugin). So you are writing java syntax but the code is not really java.

This is potentially the savviest of business models. For companies which can't employ full time staff to work on open source they use, they still need the ecosystem to provide updates, features, fixes, and tools for integration. There are an infinite number of startups to be born based on leveraging open source software, and getting engaged to ensure software is reliable, secure, and robust is key to a successful launch.

Have you tried parsing an email address with a regex?

Ask HN: Is there a service for short lived emails addresses for single shot use?
Christmas are coming... yeah... and covid19 situation destroyed these year's gifts buying custom. So, when making purchases in different e-commerce sites it's obvious they want my email to handle all buying/paying/delivering communication. It made me think that what they really want is some ID in a form of email so that those online stores can use it to talk to me about one particular subject: purchase of those particular things.

Is there a service/app/whatever that will create for me short-lived email which will be destroyed after purchase is finished? I know Apple did something similar when logging in using Apple account. It would be ideal to have list of those short lived emails in some form of app and be able to track history of what happened with each of those ids.

It would be complicated due to Mozilla's structure. Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit that owns the for-profit Mozilla Corporation. You can donate to the foundation but they can't use the money for Firefox.

But the fundamental reason is that donations are only ever going to be a drop in the ocean. Google gives them $400m/year. Mozilla Foundation donations are like $3m/year. Even Wikipedia donations are only about $100m/year and they have way more users and push really hard.

So you're conflating two things here

If people are actively engaged in protest (e.g. carrying signs), I agree they are not "journalists."

However, having viewers or not is irrelevant.

Also, let's not pretend even credentialed journalists weren't assaulted and arrested by police.
And there's nothing wrong with that. You essentially invented your own GQL because it contained some awesome ideas. Also I think it would be OK if new things similar to GQL came out and challenged it. I don't think GQL is perfect, and I personally wish it had namespacing and more thought about caching built in.
My memory may be faulty, but my recollection is there was never a serious attempt to replace NPAPI with Pepper. It was looked into, but it was concluded that the Pepper APIs were too tightly bound to Webkit's implementation to make it possible to implement, and Mozilla instead built their own out-of-process sandbox (which was sorely needed because Flash crashes were the single largest cause of Firefox crashes).

I find this kind of dismissiveness boring to start with.

But even beyond that, this isn't the case - the core logic for scene creation runs on the SNES and then the instruction opcodes are shipped to the expansion chip. So it's a GPU for the SNES, and a perfect analog to the SuperFX chip from which it takes its name.

A far cry from simply "using the SNES as a video adapter" as the full SNES hardware is still running the "game logic" to accept input and set up the scene.
Education is the best mitigation. Knowing that we have biases helps us recognize when it is happening. Most of the pushback to advertising that I've seen uses either asceticism or anti-consumerism language instead of cutting to the heart of what's going on.

Indeed. I think it's important to humanize the police officers and acknowledge that they are people with emotions too though. Protestors can get angry and smash/burn stuff, police can get angry and arrest people and disperse crowds. People are people, and this situation is particularly tricky because the opposing parties do not like each other. In an ideal world only the cream of the crop would be sent to police these protests, but I would wager most police departments are understaffed and have to make do.
What "journalism infrastructure" is tied to mega corps?
Title on HN is misleading (or even incorrect). In the article it mentions Twitter is moving one feature (feeds) to AWS. They still rely on GCP and their own infra for the rest.
There's a good video version of this update: https://youtu.be/ULs5gOiLrfY
They both have features the other doesn't. If you count up the number of features, AWS is way ahead. But yes, GCP has features AWS doesn't have.
HA on Grafana isn't that difficult. The majority of Grafana is browser-side rendered data of queries which are just passed through Grafana to the data source. It's fairly light weight.

Security wise, as far as I know AWS isn't offering anything additional here.

The argument of "but you're paying to not have to worry about it!" that is a fair argument. But comments like this seem to purposely over-state the difficulty of running a not-super-complicated tool like Grafana in order to make "only $600/month, or $7.2k/year", sound more appealing.
