Not if their processor architectures are all the same, or close enough that they can write (and have written) an emulation layer to get bit-identical behaviour.

WATS lines (toll-free service numbers) provide additional caller information above and beyond a standard toll line, on the premise that it's the callee who's paying for the call.

This has been a privacy concern for decades.

Services have changed substantially and I'm no longer current on information (WATS itself has been retired), but no, a toll-free call is not the same as a standard POTS / direct-dialed toll number, AFAIU.

That's above and beyond the per-user or per-source tracking accomplished here.

Note that similar schemes can be run via postal mail through specific P.O. Box or department routing addresses.

It's hard to tell if it's it integrated with Git directly or only via Github & Gitlab!

Both Github and Gitlab have built-in project management features! Why should I use a different tool if I'm using Github/Gitlab?
Might I suggest using a personal/professional website that you control. You could even pay someone to set this up for you. But nobody uses those any more. Could it be that that’s the real issue: voluntarily handing over control of your contacts, data and reputation to an entity like Facebook – at no cost to the user – by default and then complaining about not being in control?

A better way to think about this is to consider the case of Saint Pierre et Miquelon, which are two islands off the coast of Canada -- literally 19 km away, and so much closer than the Falklands are to Argentina. They are French territory, inhabited by French citizens. And (aside from occasional disagreements about who gets to explore for undersea resources in the vicinity of the islands) Canada really doesn't seem to have a problem with this, because (in this area, at least) Canada is a more mature nation than Argentina.

I could argue that this actually might be different since Facebook and Instagram is opt-in. I think regular users understand that if they willingly upload a picture to a social media site, even if it is in a DM, it _might_ be "hacked", so you can choose not to upload that how-the-fuck-do-i-look-naked-from-behind mirror selfie and be completely confident that no-one will see this (cloud sync off). But now, if the general public will find out that every photo you take, period, is "analyzed", maybe people will start choosing otherwise. I think we will have to see.
There is no such right.
France is closer to the UK than the Falklands are to Argentina (35km vs almost 500km). Should France belong to the UK?
This depends on the scientific purpose. For most cases, I'd say yes, but I'm biased, and OpenLayers has the advantage of having all possible features baked in, if you can tolerate the complexity and bloat.
I don't understand the comment in the issue by an iPhone user. Can you see the hashes that the mobile generates for each image?? Why that is not "obfuscated" / hidden from the user? I mean, I would expect something complicated to validate that you have a collision.

> do not show that there are negative and positive contributors, only isolated incidents any person can choose between, and whether or not this sums to a positive or negative person in relation to eg. their tax contributions

How is "there are negative and positive contributors" different from "whether or not this [behavior] sums to a positive or negative person"? There's no reason Simpson's paradox would apply here; and, Simpson's paradox with respect to what? We are trying to find if a specific person X is a negative or positive contributor to local QoL.

Your example actually illustrates that and contradicts the first point - if we introduce a free service, let's say QoL would go up; someone moves in to abuse it, you admit QoL goes up less ("smaller increase than they hoped for") - that person is a negative contributor, all other things being equal. Or, if you say their net is still positive (no reason it would always be positive), then the original complaint - states punished for improving QoL - does not apply. They got rewarded by this positive net contribution, not punished, right?

As for the example itself, there's nothing "free" - someone pays the doctors providing healthcare, etc., and you could argue the payers' QoL goes down. If you don't limit how much people may have to pay (it's universal vs a limited number of taxpayers), their QoL can go down a lot. If it doesn't balance out and the state gets "punished", it's precisely because it's bad policy that doesn't improve QoL. The debatability of the merits of universal healthcare itself aside, the reason it may not be too bad on country level is because it's hard to move in to make use of it; it comes with status/residency restrictions, and also health-based immigration restrictions in some countries (like Canada, IIRC).

I do admit I generally think states can improve QoL much less than they think they can, and can degrade QoL much more than they think they will, but there are many things states can do (and have done in the past) that create good incentives and don't suffer from this problem. Most of them actually involve undoing things. Others involve things that incentivize more positive contributors than negative as 2nd order effect; be it safety, building certain kinds of infrastructure, etc.

I’m always confused by these statements. Would you rather nobody develop apps for iOS/Android, because they had the same amazing foresight as you, and decided to not beholden to Apple/Google?
oh wow - $1500 USD ? thats really nice! Hopefully the prices will keep dropping!
Yeah, in this case the difference between parliament and the government is substantial and OP doesn't seem to know there is one.
I'm not saying the same thing you think I'm saying, but I do realize I'm definitely explaining what I mean poorly... likely because hex editors themselves have multiple behaviors in this regard. Some merely use spaces to separate bytes visually, others actually group the bytes and parse them as integers, swapping them as needed to read like human writing.

Let me try illustrating a different situation, hopefully without that confusion.

Let's say your data starts with the byte sequence 67 45 23 01...

If you assume these represents some LE numbers, and want to multiply by 256 (decimal), you end up with 00 67 45 23 01... it really doesn't matter (and you don't need to know) what the word sizes were. That's the only sane result, and the byte at offset 2 would end up being 45h... end of story. Even if your number was only supposed to be N bytes and now it's N+1 bytes, you can just chop it back to N bytes and your result will still be correct (modulo 256^N) and as intuitive as it could be.

But if you start working in BE, suddenly things get confusing fast. Imagine what this operation would be for 2-byte BE words. The first word in BE is 6745 and now becomes 674500, and you overflowed by 1 byte. So which part do you keep and which part do you overflow to the next word? If you keep the 6745, then the 00 ends up affecting the second word rather than the first one, which is just completely nonsensical. The other option is to keep 4500 and and shove the 67 into the next word, turning it from 2301 into 230167. Now you have to repeat the same procedure with the 23, etc. until you reach the end of the data.

Now look at what just happened in the BE case. You have the bizarre situation where your words are internally BE (i.e. "go to offset 0" would now land on the 00 byte, which are not the first 2 characters in the editor!). And across words, they're still treated like LE—the inter-word overflows are still moving bytes to higher-order words on the right, not the left! There's just no sane way to do math with N-byte words and avoid LE entirely; even if you treat each word as BE, you're absolutely forced to treat the word sequence as LE. The only way to actually avoid all LE is to interpret the whole thing as 1 gigantic bignum, where "multiply by 256" ends up being translated into "append 00 to the end of the stream". That's great if your data really was 1 gigantic bignum, but not so much if your data was just typical ints or longs.

If this is still confusing (I realize it might be) then I'm not sure how else to put my thoughts into words unfortunately (no pun intended). Hopefully you can kind of see what I'm getting at though, even if I'm explaining some portions of it poorly (sorry).

So you call any number "five and half of thirty"? That sounds pretty easy to be honest.

Yes, just like rape accusations. It doesn't matter that you prove it was false afterwards.

Edit : well that was a hint to Assange of course. Probably not true in general. So yes, I mean false accusations.
Thank you!

> privatise all public services, let the market clean up the mess

Half-Croat here. What you propose would destroy what is left of the country. Public services are already shoddy as it is because Croatia doesn't have much economy outside of tourism, agriculture and a bit of heavy industry. The best and young minds have been leaving the country for well over half a century.

I downvoted you because I disagree with your defeatism.
> Most network protocols and formats until recently have been big endian (Network Byte Order).

This misses the point of the original reason for this - big endian is more convenient if you're reading the value into a shift register. You don't need to know in advance how big the value is because you just shift the contents left each time you get a new byte and you end up with the appropriate 0 padded value.

Basically for a period of history, big endian was easier to implement for comms and little endian for processors. The big endian comms reasons have generally died out while the processor ones remain.

Network byte order (big endian in communication) is a very strong convention though. If you define a network protocol and use little endian then I will be very sad.
But you'd still want to read and write French text on your computer even if the UI is in English, right?
Sometimes getting your foot in the door is all that counts, and you can renegotiate from there.

Way back, the company I worked for and this other company where bidding for a job. They wanted a lot of work done on a ridiculously short deadline (3-4 month), we said "can't be done", the other company said "sure". Anyway the other company completely failed to deliver on time, but since they already had the contract and had already started the work the company that hired them figured it was easier to just renegotiate an extension to the contract than replacing them. Long story short, the other company got a solid 18 month of good steady work out of their 'failure'.

What’s driving the toy industry in 2021

I can only imagine that businesses are going to setup somewhere outside the US. Not for tax reasons, but simply to avoid the exposure to the minefield of patent.

>If you continue to flood a country with people who are willing to work for lower wages, supply and demand for employment and wages will continue to work as intended.

Discussing the labor market in this way is overly reductionist and leads to incorrect conclusions. I could even find an article by the cato institute(yes) that concludes:

Sadly, nothing. Even if we were to elect a capable government, there would still be a large segment of the population that would resist any change as long as it conflicts with their economic interests.

> It is likely that many might have been caused by things like the camp administrators stealing from the food intended for the detainees.

I'd argue that “camp administrators stealing resources” is such a common thing in these kinds of situations that not preventing it is effectively causing it. While it is still definitely on the administrators, blame also falls to those who designed the system that enabled this situation.
"or sometimes dropping it entirely because in hindsight it wasn't that important." yes for that multiple times. usualy people want results without thinking about oportunity costs. and when you have multiple tasks and ask to sort them by priority you get the answer that everything is important.
I think this topic was exhaustively covered in many parts of the Internet (Stack Exchange, HN, YouTube, ...). I noticed that questions such as these get asked very often: "What programming language or framework to learn in 202X?", "How to get into FAANG?", ... The answers are basically rehashes of past answers. Not many changes, but people still can't get enough of it.

Also, you can use the search function on HN. It is very good! (I use it often.)

Just avoid click-bait and content farming websites or content creators (on YouTube and elsewhere). I would avoid influencers too.

And it's why I can't stand these alarmist articles that liberal rags are churning out daily. Even the end of the article is just like "Well we need to do...something! Now! " and this kind of hasty inaction is how we get completely ineffective shit like carbon taxes. But hey, at least I can now go around moralizing about you needing to reduce your carbon footprint!

We need to do shit as you mentioned: shifting subsidies. But that'd require our leaders actually putting in effort and, you know, working on behalf of the fucking people and not big business.

That’s end game. Now you can use it for targeted attacks against innocent people. This needs to be shut down and disposed of immediately. There is no other outcome which is socially acceptable for Apple.

I feel vindicated now. There are a lot of people saying that I’m insane as I’ve dumped the entire iOS ecosystem in the last week. But Craig was busy steamrolling out the marketing still only a couple of days back about how this is good for the world. No way am I going back.

I don't either.

But my personal boycotts of mainstream social media, advertising, and weaponised viral clickbait have had absolutely no effect on the general adoption of such practices.

Collective action and regulation are what is required here. Parliaments are the effective mechanism. Possibly class-action suits.
Maybe 65 should be explained as said like "five and threesh" where "threesh" is implicitly/shortened for "three times 20". So we say: 5 + 3 x 20, but in a terse encoding.

Yes, 55 is "half threesh" in the same way, that is we say 5 + half 3 x 20, but half 3 == 2.5, of course!
Simplicity is a good thing. One of the perception hashes that I found in an URL on HN was literally just compressing the images, converting to grescale, calculating the hamming distance and coalescing that into an n bit hash.
