I'm not. I'm complaining about the claim "It's not a ban! It's not a ban! Apple isn't doing anything!"

This whole argument seems like a variation of "Guns don't kill people, [X] does." If Apple puts a (metaphorical) gun in every user's hand and points them at the analytics SDKs, it seems ludicrous to claim that Apple has nothing to do with the analytics SDKs getting killed. Regardless of whether or not they deserve to be killed. At the very least, it's passive-aggressive, if not incitement to "violence".

Now, the article says, "Apple did not – and from a legal perspective likely can’t – explicitly ban the Google Analytics, Flurry, Facebook, and Firebase SDKs." I'm not clear on what legal perspective the author means. Antitrust? In any case, from your perspective, why wouldn't Apple ban them if it could? There are plenty of things that Apple does ban in the App Store, without giving the user a choice. I still don't get why you think "ban" is a dirty word.
Usually you don’t need the entire functionality of a library. So writing something for your use case may only take a day.
We have a recording of trooper in court. But what good will recordings do if internal affairs doesn't want to investigate anything and there's no other agency to turn to? I've contacted the DA, the president judge of the county, IA, and my state representatives.

I might have to look onto the media aspect some more. Some of the evidence can't be shared outside the courtroom by law (recording of the proceedings, subpoenaed complaint results), so that might make it hard.
Times get written down or otherwise recorded, it would be a lot of work to update or duplicate entries for opening hours on signs and websites, times in laws, and various other things to account for the time of year. Instead we can just update the clock and have all the references preserved.
ORV is as revolutionary as PoW. Nano still uses PoW but in a far far far more efficient way.
It's really disappointing that big tech companies can get away with stealing others' ideas. It's a gap in our governance system, whereby patents don't protect this type of intellectual innovation. Even if it did, the smaller companies have no practical way to go after big companies. They can't afford prolonged legal battles, and the "defensive" patent portfolios these big companies amass really allow them to bully small companies into submission, often using frivolous patents. The intellectual property system has been flipped upside-down with the opposite of the incentives we wanted out of it, and it more closely just resembles regulatory capture.

Mind you, I'm not saying Clubhouse has invented some new core technology. It's more like the value they have identified, via a smart product or business, is now something someone with greater capital and resources can simply exploit. The rewards aren't going to the innovator who identified that value.
well, that pretty much describes a landfill.

I've always wondered if they couldn't compress it, like those bricks but cubes, then use those cubes mixed with base fill dirt for building bridges and such. Like the massive earthworks they build around highways and such.
Not any more; see my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26096052
sorry. but if you really choose to write a simple CRUD app in go, I feel very sorry for you. Go is terrible for this kind of stuff.

On the other hand, if you are about to write a nice daemon that needs to do some difficult stuff and C is a bit too low level for you (or a deadline is pressing), then go might be just be the perfect tool for it.

I use a lot of languages, and golang usually only ever competes with C or C++. For the scripting/CRUD-like stuff i Usually still prefer NodeJS or python.
Unlike everyone else here, I agree. In most cases you can build your own analytics.

Think about what kind of analytics you need, and then decide if you should buy something complicated or just build something simple yourself.

For example, for us crash reporting and knowing wich system version to support is important, so we built our own analytics system for that.

We don't need detailed usage statistics. It's just not very useful for us. We know that people use features that we build, the question is which features are missing! Why are people not able to use our app?

No amount of analytics on our existing users is going to tell us that, so getting powerful analytics is just not important for us.
I think that most recommended book on HN.

Thanks for the kind feedback!
Yep same. HS English classes pretty much killed all desire to read Shakespear or any of the "important" American authors. Kurt Vonnegut's works are the only ones I remember enjoying.
Soon we will have an article about "If you use Signal to talk to your mother, FBI can see your messages if your mother send them to them"
> Nobody can seriously believe that law enforcement was incapable of stopping the Trump mob from wreaking havoc. The Trumpers had been warning for months of a civil war on the 6th—it was even printed on their sweatshirts. Given the size of the U.S. policing and military apparatus, the only way that protesters can freely occupy the Capitol is if the police make a deliberate decision to let them. (Images of the massive armed presence in response to Black Lives Matter protests in D.C. this summer offered a striking contrast.) One could not help but think that if Antifa had been the ones gathering in force, there would have been a far more energetic effort to protect the nation’s lawmakers, and a lot more arrests followed by felony terrorism charges and multi-decade prison sentences.

Thats a fanciful interpretation that has no connection to the reality of federal, state, and local law enforcement largely standing by while antifa/blm burned police stations and privately owned buildings to the ground, murdered protestors and police officers, and looted.

Short of org-mode with inline TeX, I can't imagine there exists a solution for this.
Should read the article before you comment next time ;)

There is a screenshot in there showing it is directly parsing the Signal sqlite database. I am guessing on his device he had not set an access passcode to the Signal app so no key was required to decrypt the local message cache. Towards the end of the article the Signal creator hit the nail on the head saying this is a phone security issue and nothing to do with Signals security.
This is accurate. We train every document models upfront and make it available via the API. We believe well-trained, high-quality models don't need retraining, just like humans don't need to re-learn reading every day.

I agree but only the actual /adsmanager/manage section and the subsequent tools (events/audiences). Basically power editor 2.0.

But it seems less powerful than the old one for some reason might just be in my head though. It has a pretty low ad limit per ad group I think 100. Though some of the 'combo' ads where you can put 5 headlines, 5 copy etc help up that number.

BUT I do not like the business manager which houses all the pages, users, audience assets. I find the 'line of business' really confusing and hard to see how they want it organized. Like what's the model supposed to be? Agency line of business -> client subs. But then you need a specific line of business for certain offline attribution etc so having it agency parent doesn't make sense to me?!
True. We went down that path for a while, but for our purposes, I was never happy with the ones I could find, since they were super vague how they got the IPs in the first place. Some of it felt like protecting commercial secrets, which is fine, but some of it felt like protecting questionable business practices.

For our purposes, and the websites we needed to track, a traditional VPN was good enough.
Just FYI, Hōryū-ji is a temple built of wood that has lasted 400 to 1300 years (parts have been repaired over the centuries). It's all about how you care for the building.

The more we get people speaking up (complaining and shaming), the more likely we are as a society to collectively identify corrupt individuals or organizations. This is the first step to creating change.
Great ideas - yeah we send photos of the food plated at the restaurant as part of the experience. We might have to do the plates thing as you suggest as well...
The main problem with Austin is that it's in Texas. Which means you're still subject to Texas laws and Texas schoolbooks. Some of those schoolbooks still teach that, "slaves were treated well because they were expensive property".

Which makes me think, maybe there is a business opportunity to open a private school that uses California or Massachusetts/New York text books.
I clean my cookies very often and do use a VPN and do not have any problem using reCaptcha, never even saw this "please try again" error.

maybe there is something in your particular setup that is breaking it.
Also compare https://slatestarcodex.com/Stuff/genius.pdf (by László Polgár, whose three daughters are an International Master, a Grandmaster, and the strongest female chess player in history).

László Polgár has encountered lots of controversy about his view of child-rearing. My understanding is that his daughters have tended to express support for their childhood experiences.
Assuming the published app matches the published source.
Appreciate the feedback. How much do you think would be fair?
In a rare self-reply, this feeds into the reason why I scratch my head at the whole license based IP distribution thing.

By bringing licenses into it, you push for a business relationship first, but discourage further toolmaking. Programs are math. Rederivation and application should really be the norm, but can't be if we're drawing boxes around arrangements of symbols and saying "Do not cross."

It's the weird contradiction at the core of what we do as software people that still keeps me scratching my head. We all run to make a hydrant to mark, then try to make rent extracting business around it instead of maximizing the number of variants of hopefully practical and efficient ways to allow everyone else to solve their own problems.

I'm not against people being able to make a living doing what they love, but the incentive structure seems all out of jibe with what I understood to be the overall goal.

Or something. Still wrapping my head around it I guess.
Thank you!

Standard design for a UK house uses bricks (and an interior cinder block lining) to bear all loads unless the design calls for a very narrow pillar.

Even where a timber frame bearing roof and floor loads exists so wall bricks just "fill space", they have to be sufficiently performant under compression to support the weight of brick courses above them.
And it's Electron-based.

I bought a Razor mouse a year ago (a mistake I won't repeat), and wanted to disable the pointless built-in LEDs. Can't do that without Synapse, and the settings are not retained when you exit the program. So you must keep it running at all times, or you'll be forced to have circus lights on your desk.

I disassembled the mouse and tore out the LEDs. So much for the "just turn it off"-crowd that appears whenever I complain about RGB-infested hardware.

Also, Razer hid the screws under the plastic feet of the mouse, so now they're all wonky since I had to remove them to take the mouse apart.

Don't buy Razer.
That's flatly untrue.

Bitcoin also enables ransomware.

"Ransomware" has been a thing well before Bitcoin. Instead of Bitcoin, they would convince people to buy moneypaks or various gift cards.
I sat down to watch Jurassic Park with my son just after he turned three. My wife thought that showed questionable judgement on my part but he absolutely loved it and instantly became thoroughly obsessed with dinosaurs. He’s almost 4 now and shows no sign of slowing down.

That doesn’t dispose of the question of my judgement - there’s some violence in that film so that’s not a universal recommendation.

Parenting is a total mystery.

EDIT: Just to say - kids go absolutely bananas for any of the scenes in either Jurassic World movie that feature a Mosasaurus.
I'm not sure if you're kidding, but smashing your devices with a hammer will not damage the cold storage unless you directly hit it and sufficiently deform it. It's much more likely that you just damage the screen, casing and mainboard when randomly smashing on it. Especially with a laptop. So the storage could simply be ported to an undamaged phone/laptop and effectively all you achieved is turning the device off.

Similarly with a microwave. The reflections and sparks might kill the microwave before the hard drive in your device is actually damaged. Please correct me if im wrong, but the microwaves shouldn't actually be able to flip the bits, but just heat up the material.

A shredder strong enough to tear the metal/silicon/plastic apart in small enough pieces sounds reliable.
Actually that's a really good question :) . I would be interested if Rust's vaunted security advantages panned out. I know anything can have bugs but still it would be interesting.
Hmm. And that makes me wonder if the city might be right to give all those tax breaks to the foundry. They get to charge full tax on all the businesses that come there as suppliers to the foundry.
It is indeed a step forward in another respect as well: they can recreate images using fMRI rather than electrodes, a non-invasive procedure.
Foxconn was an obvious con from the start. If you go back and look at contemporaneous reporting, even the "MSM" reporting was a bit incredulous - it just was really obvious, with only certain politicians claiming otherwise.

Which is not to say this won't become a cesspool, too. But at the very least, I don't see scummy pols waving wads of cash at Samsung right now.
1. If you really think 1/6 was something to be personally worried or afraid about, you need to stop consuming so much media. It's hysteria, fearmongering, and a blatant attempt to divide the American people even more. Worse, it's an attempt to establish an informant culture where neighbours and even family members sell people out to the FBI in exchange for upvotes on the Internet. It wasn't a coup attempt and you're extremely mislead if you seriously think so. If it had been, if there had been a real intent on a coup, there would have been tens of thousands dead.

2. Comparisons of Trump to Hitler are asinine, tone-deaf, and make it impossible to take your opinion seriously. Comparisons of 2020s America to the Weimar Republic, on the other hand, are not. The reaction against excesses are real, but there is not a single person present on the Right who presents as having the potential to be a uniting leader; Trump simply marketed himself into a hungry niche, and then proved to everyone he was not at all what he said he was. Anyone who even remotely checks to see what the far right is up to would know that vast swathes of them dropped support for him by 2017 when he proved he wasn't going to fulfill any of his promises at all, and that it was all just demagoguery. Smarter folks on both sides knew this from the start.

3. The article author is somehow completely blind the real threat, which is best described as Totalitarian Liberalism. Like many others, the author is fine with clamping down on some of the most quintessential freedoms people in the West have - freedom of speech, of association, and of the press - in order to gain some superficial sense of security from the brewing reaction. This is foolish, and will backfire in a huge way, as people are increasingly tired of the patronizing and insulting paternalism of the Left. Push harder, clamp down more, and the reaction will be correspondingly bigger after whatever delay these laws buy.

If you put Python and Ruby in the same graph Go and C will look more the same. Though let's be honest, how much does language speed really matter for most things? It's crap code that kills performance more than anything from my limited experience, and with a higher level language you might have easier access to libraries implementing efficient algorithms for.

When good performance is needed we don't even "write code" anymore, we use ASICs. BTC mining, network switching/routing and encryption comes to mind.
> I dislike the way that cryptocurrencies have managed their initial allocations, but it's way better than the way that fiat currencies have managed their initial allocations (usually encoding generations of violence, rascism and oppression).

Just a nit, but I would argue that those encoded privileges are still present; just now with the added indirect layer of "People who were adjacent to the cypherpunks mailing list circa 2009"
> it's probably because Microsoft screwed up by forcing OEMs to not install netscape in order to crush them.

The matter predated the IE / Netscape battle.

The OEMs wanted the ability to yield money off of the desktop for the systems they sell and had been fighting with Microsoft for years to be able to place crap onto Windows when it boots up. The system makers saw dollar signs in being able to sell placement to AOL dial-up and so on. Microsoft used their position to try to keep them from doing that, fearing an inability to control quality for their own product from the first moment the end user begins their experience.

Just continue to use fiat currency for those situations where you'd prefer the risk profile that they provide. The success of cryptocurrencies doesn't preclude the continued existence of fiat currencies.
Its getting to a point where it can be a component in the Gross Domestic Ignorance calculation.
Unless your fiat money is not actually real and is just a made up number by the Fed. Bitcoin may not be useful in the local store, but if it can make fiscal, fair rules that the globe works within - I’ll take that.

The other mad comparison is that Bitcoin is globally distributed. If Argentina was globally distributed it would eat far more energy than Bitcoin.

What this really means is that Bitcoin is out of reach of a nation state attack.

For the local store, there’s always Nano currency.
You’re free to develop a better alternative and market it.
I guess what is more expensive is to pay the builders in a first-world-nation, since brick-laying is labour-intensive and requires skill.
Working Effectively is a bit niche, but unless a team is willing to rewrite from scratch or stumbled on a perfect design, refactoring and dealing with untested code will hit everyone eventually. Hell, test suites may themselves not be sufficiently preserved or remain fully functional after enough time has passed. One of my best time investments was reading that book.

Bullshit. If you want to play basketball in the NBA, you have to practice your ass off to develop the necessary skills. If you want to be a successful car mechanic, you have to practice your ass off to develop the necessary skills. If you want to be a successful cook, you have to practice your ass off to develop the necessary skills.

The homework is a vehicle for practice. Effective practice is real work. Real work is hard. Therefore, the homework must be hard.

I think the analogy falls apart because clearly trying to appear secure isn’t deterring Russia/China from hacking US infrastructure.
I'll go along with you that defunding is a form of ipso facto deplatforming and therefore bad. I think it's trumped in this case by the advertisers rights to free association (and Google's desire to attract advertisers). But if (and I think this is your real objection) that defunding/deplatforming was aimed at a protected class or political identity, then that concern would rule.

That's not the case here, however. And I don't think we should be so concerned about a slippery slope that we can't allow any discrimination on the part of advertisers or Google.

By the way, I think I sense an undercurrent of "but that's just stupid" in regards to the objection to the extremely neutral use of dictionary definitions. You haven't made that argument explicitly, but for what it's worth, I'd agree with you on that personally. But that's not my call to make, or yours. (And if I'm imagining that undercurrent, then my apologies.)

in all seriousness, but how many golang and python code bases of roughly equally the size have you reviewed and examined?

Python is HELL if you are new to a codebase. Everyone has their own conventions, lack of typing means you need to do a lot of guesswork, dynamic calls break up control flow etc.

Yes, go is more explicit (lack of generics...), but at least its straightforward. Just compare k8s codebase with nomad with your homegrown stuff. It will likely look a bit like the same sauce...

Rather than discrete time zones my ideal would be a continuous system which keeps sunrise at the same local time every day, backed by a universal coordinate system like UTC. "Dumb" clocks are set to UTC, "smart" clocks show local time and adjust daily. Sunrise at 8am, just go to bed at the end of the day (midnight) and you'll get a full rest. Call it Adjusted Local Time or something.
Teslas holdings do not cause emissions. Every time I see one of these bitcoin climate articles on HN the quality of dialog and general knowledgeability of the subject at hand, takes a nose dive.

The Saudis are also well-liked by the US and much of the Western leaders because they buy billions in arms. Nevermind the crucifictions, decapitations, and dismemberments.

Reminds me of one of by favourite Frankie Boyle jokes: "Our government was angry about Khashoggi. We sent the Saudis a strongly worded arms invoice."
