I've been on the Pamir highway, which is so close to Afghanistan that you can wave at them across the river. That same road is taken by Chinese trucks headed to CIS countries. You have to remember that those countries are next to each other.

A Chinese investment in the region seems pretty reasonable in my uneducated opinion.
Nothing is confusing to HNers, they are just expressing baseline racial anxiety and resentment.

> They face the same discrimination in America and in that they find companionship

Do they, though? I think African Americans and African immigrants face very different problems in America. My next door neighbors on one side are from Ghana, my next door neighbors on the other side are African Americans. They have very different issues that they deal with and their lifestyles couldn't be more different.

My Ghana neighbors:

- Struggle with things like renewing work visas, applying for citizenship, immigration-related issues

- Buy/cook all their food from raw ingredients from African grocery stores

- 2 parent household

- Pay their own rent

My African American neighbors:

- struggle with substance abuse, truancy, obesity, unemployment

- Eat McDonalds/junk food/drink astronomical quantities of soda pop daily

- Single parent household

- Rely on the state for rent (HOC)

These are not isolated incidents - out of my neighborhood block here in Montgomery County, MD, there are multiple points of data that point to this segregation of lifestyles between African and African American. I see the police all the time at my African American neighbors' house (at least 3-4 times per year), whether it be because one of the teens was caught shoplifting, or they were making tons of noise in the middle of the night, or because of a domestic confrontation turning violent, etc. I've never seen the police once at my Ghana neighbors' house.
Your car analogy sounds a lot like Tesla with phone-as-key, and last I checked Tesla sold 500k of those last year and are on track to sell 800k this year. People have been locked out of their Teslas when their phone is dead and they didn't bring a physical key with them.

Apple adds these arbitrary digital locks since they protect against the threat model of physical access, whether that be an attack thanks to leaving the phone unlocked or giving your passcode to your friend to use for a while. This is all in disregardless of whether or not the customer actually has this as part of their personal threat model.
I suspect you can not block your TV, if someone steals it. This is bad idea and a slippery slope towards various versions of nonsense.
100% agree. I switched from channels to HBO Max because my cellular carrier offered it for free, but the experience is absolutely awful. Constant buffering, not remembering what you’ve watched and difficulty finding things really detract.
There have to be more options than that.

A country club?

A service org like Rotary / Lion's Club?

I'm not sure what's out there, but there must options other than Jihad, Kristallnacht, or barber shop.
I've seen this so often. Almost every time something about Khan Academy's technology makes it to the front page here, someone brings up some form of this complaint. It got to the point at which I wrote a post [specifically to address why Khan Academy has so much code](https://www.kevindangoor.com/posts/why-khan-academy-has-so-m...). There's just so much complexity involved in making reliable services that provide features used by a variety of types of users.
Within HN, there are alot of people who might not be targeted audience for twitter.

I consider this addition to be a step back. As a rabid twitter fan, They blocked my account because i refused to add my number. Then, they blocked the content to view tweets, this reduced my interaction even further.

I question how some of these features get decided. Atleast, WSJ, gives couple of articles before throwing in a paywall.

>may have almost nothing in common at all, except for having a darker shade of skin color

That darker shade causes them to be mistreated in similar ways by American society.
Scraping refers specifically to extracting data from a format designed to be read by humans instead of machines.

The gross inefficiency and low data-to-layout ratio are the key things being expressed through connotations of the word "scrape". To scrape is to extract a small amount of something from a much larger substrate.

To call every query a scrape is to diminish the specificity and utility of the term.
When it says disabled does that mean it won't even connect to HDMI ports? Because if that's not the case, then all that's needed is an android box which costs like $50 bucks and often performs better than the bloated android rom on tvs.
I'd improve its ability to load and edit large files.
What are the chances that someone would phish an admin user to the platform that blocks all the TV systems and block the all samsung TV devices. What are the chances that they could be snooping and monitoring what I am watching.

It would be nice to see some more transparency in these remote monitoring and management systems. The system setup is very similar to Teamviewer or kaseya where you accept them to manage your device when you accept the terms of service or user agreement.

I am not sure if it is just me, but It is making a little paranoid. In my opinion, this is not a good thing.
Last week Waymo said they are driving 100,000 miles per week in San Francisco. That figure is just bonkers. SF MTA only operates about 450,000 miles per week, and that was before COVID-19 shut them down. When one is on the streets of San Francisco does a Waymo Jaguar just drive by every couple of minutes? I honestly haven't been over there in a few months.
I will probably never read another tweet again, and I'm a little bit glad about it too. Maybe next reddit can close the old interface too.
I don’t understand that in this context.

Let’s say you pay a fee for being able to view tweets without logging in. How will they know it’s you who’s trying to view a tweet if you don’t effectively log in?
(How) did you disambiguate Tesla as in Tesla Cars from Tesla as in Nikola Tesla from the either source?
Would you consider that eventually we could as a species accidentally cut too much and cause the system to go out of whack? If that happened, how would it manifest? Would things be fine until nature demands her return on the investment and when she doesn't get it, a collapse happens? I think we are on a ramp toward a collapse when it comes to our environment.

We can build better systems than clear cutting which has a huge effect on the ability of a forest to hold water. Additionally forests create rain. We need to stop injecting clouds to try to trigger rain, that shit is dumb, we need to regrow our forests and thankfully we have lots of prior art on how to do that.

Yes, the bulk of the work is done by nature, mostly we need to configure the proper inputs, trigger the process and let nature drive, observe and then make minor adjustments to optimize multi yield and surpluses (outputs).

We need wood but trashing an ecosystem because it always grows back, is irresponsible.

I do understand there on many places were pine is farmed and clear cut multiple times in a monoculture and it's a generational family owned [and more recently corporation owned enterprise]). It works I'm not saying we should block that but even those systems could use a redesign for multi yield with the least destruction when the cutting happens.
The only thing you need to beat obesity is exercise and reduced caloric intake.

The idea that entire companies can be started to wrap that fact in a neat little package for people makes me depressed.

> It leads to an average 15% decrease in body weight, efficacy close to bariatric surgery [3]. However, medication-assisted treatment for obesity is still stigmatized by family doctors and therefore hard to access.

This won’t lead to a healthier society, it will lead to a more wasteful and consumeristic one.
We were just having this discussion around the Postman fundraise - various people saying "its just a GUI around Curl!!!" and being all offended at the raise's price tag. There's so much more that goes into building an actual business.
> Again, my original comment is merely a criticism of credit score and not the entire consumer lending infrastructure

Then why did it explicitly say that income was not considered in creditworthiness? The conflation of that with credit score was from this line in your comment: “Why then do we not take income into account in credit worthiness?” My response was directed at the error in the explicit premise of this question.

> Three credit bureaus purport to have a comprehensive opinion of someone's credit worthiness

No, they don't, which is why they also gather and provide, as separate products, payroll data and other data, and even credit decision platforms that incorporate income and other data. Credit score is a single product with a more limited function (both as advertised and as used by customers) than you are representing.

Well, everyone's different. I find it much easier to relate to others that come from a similar culture to mine. We don't need to speak the language, but talking about stuff like our upbringing or whatever helps bond.

I personally wouldn't care if you acted a certain way, my definition of a Latino isn't that stereotypical.
Unless Samsung enforces an internet connection on the first start of the TV it's completely useless as long as they don't connect it.

Still, a worrisome approach. After a few years if they shut down or change the blocking servers will the TV still work or it will become a brick since it can't check its authenticity?
Cue the haters who said Waymo is a money dump
>that’s a very different comparison to something like going to a private business

Governments regulate comings and goings of people to and from private businesses all the time. We don't allow people under 21 to go to bars or people under 18 to go to strip clubs, for example.

>what about driving drunk on your own land away from anyone

If you wanna walk around on your own land away from anyone without getting vaccinated and/or while having covid? Have at it.
They’re all over Potrero Hill. I see at least one daily.
Also, their language support is absolute garbage compared to Netflix. Most shows support multiple audio and subtitle languages, which is great for learning.
I don't think anybody is confused about that. It's obvious. And nobody was discussing the barbers on this sub-thread.
I'm surprised the numbers for Phoenix are so low (10's of thousands of rides). I'm not sure if that fleet is just very small or my sense of how many rides/day a major metro can generate.
“It’s important for us to own the customer,” Forssell told me last week. “If the viewer is in the app, we can tailor the home page to them. We can tailor what they show them next. We can respond to that in real time.”

Not sure I agree with this since I can not recall a single instance where I have wanted to watch anything that has been suggested to me. All platforms have a limited amount of good stuff that I will happily search for and a huge amount of junk that I am simply not interested in.

Managing individual subscriptions is a real pain and I would prefer to find everything I need on one platform thanks.
I’m not sure it’s as much ‘the same’ as it appears at first glance.

Increasingly, Twitter is a place where people post original _content_ - things they expect others to be able to see and read and share, potentially on other platforms. These range from the original pithy remarks to long, article-like streams. It seems problematic to me to require a login to view these, and I think it could have an effect on usage for these kinds of things.

There’s not so much of that in Reddit. It’s more a discussion forum, where reading seems like the secondary thing to do to me. Peoples identity also isn’t as ‘obvious’ on Reddit.

Of course, it’s not concrete - you do see long shareable ‘articles’ in Reddit comments sometimes, but I do find myself more taken aback by a Twitter login requirement than a Reddit one.
That's why you never connect any smart TV to your network and instead use a standalone device combined with a PiHole.
I see them in my neighborhood at least twice a day. They don't bother me, to be honest. Just like any other car.

> "if I have to do all this, for someone else, and it's about the same if I do it for myself, why do I work for them?"

This thought has already crossed my mind. I mean, I am far from being the hypothetical perfect employee who is simultaneously an expert on all existing technologies, can successfuly manage teams of developers, talks to customers, notices opportunities on the market for new products, and whatever else... but I thought that if I ever became that kind of guy, I would have to be really stupid to continue working at the same company in return for, dunno, maybe 30% raise, but probably also extra overtime and being on the phone 24/7... when the alternative would be to start my own company. Especially if I also knew other people with the same skills whom I could trust, e.g. my former colleagues.

So I have two explanations, not sure which one is correct, maybe it's a bit of both...

A) There actually are people who reach this level of perfect all-knowing and all-capable employee, who nonetheless do not start their own companies. Maybe they lack the capital: either they are not paid well and they do not notice the opportunity to change jobs, or they have insane spending habits. Or maybe the lack the courage, or ambition, or just have a huge blind spot no one told them about. This might be one person in a thousand, but the idea is that if you find one such employee, it's like winning at lottery -- you let the guy run your business but keep putting all the money in your pockets, and you kinda retire except not officially because you do not want the guy to notice that he is now running the entire business alone. Does this actually happen in real life?

B) Of course, such perfection is unachievable. It is just presented to you as a realistic goal that "obviously everyone else does", so that you feel like an impostor, and don't ask for a raise.
You’re proving his or her point.

Latinos can be white, black, native, or anything else. You share a culture with them regardless of skin color.

People in the US forget that most Latinos are white. There are several South American countries that are more white than the US.

I have a friend with a European name that appears European but emigrated with his parents from Argentina at a young age. He told me he doesn't identify as Latino in the US despite being Latino because he suspects that he's being judged as an imposter.
I'll never forget I almost got murdered terminator style by a Cruise while riding my bicycle around SF... hopefully they figured that out.
TL;DR It said that it is unknown if the WL "The Architect" is the same as "The Architect" of DS.
Wait till your TV license expires
I have noticed that most those services (twitter, Skype and so on) block login without giving phone number...until few months later they automatically unblock. I simply check out in every week, are they removed block or not.
Once I was stupid and gave phone number one of those kind services, that was bad idea. Account went into some weird state after giving code received from SMS.
So my personal experience: wait, never give phone number.
> Cons: You can't go if you don't have the money for a haircut.

This is something that people are unaware of (sort of on purpose), but barbershops in black communities become ad-hoc community centers, where black men can just go and be among other black men. Gatherings of black men were (and are) seen as suspicious or "gang-related", but if there's a large gathering of black men at a barbershop, they're all just there to get a haircut, and everyone needs a haircut.

It's not expected of people to get a haircut.

"Should a customer’s TV be incorrectly blocked, the functionality can be reinstated once proof of purchase and a valid TV license is shared to serv.manager@samsung.com or click here for more information"

Fuck off.

This is a wake up call for us to make free and open source Smart TV operating system so we can stop this tyranny.
I like the channels option. This way, I get to use one mediocre video app with a decent CDN behind it, rather than a terrible app with a terrible CDN.
This comment is so far from my reality that I feel we must have different definitions of systemic racism. So I’m curious, what does systemic racism mean to you? Or to flip your statement around, what would systemic racism look like to you if it were to exist?
That's unfortunate, I didn't know that. But they used to be fairly unbiased and critical of the Chinese government.

Personally I'm with you on keeping your personal/work device separated, but many people I know surprisingly have only a work laptop. If you're a free-lancer, you also might not have two separate devices. I work fo a consulting company, some of our contracts don't provide laptops but do require al our activity to happen on an e-mail address provided by them. As a result my time committing is split between using my company's email and some other company's.
One other thing he touched on in passing: people are assuming they'd know what to build from the start. Even in relatively trivial applications a lot of work goes into finding the right way to express what you're trying to build. I recently worked on a small app and spent 40 hours trying out different approaches to the user interface. The solution I went with could be coded up in about 2 hours, but I had to do 38 hours of work that eventually got thrown away before I arrived at it.

This sort of thing happens all the time in professional software development. Sometimes it is a waste of time, e.g. people rewriting things in a new language/framework for negligible benefits, but a lot of it is a necessary part of developing a polished app.
Can you spare an invite to nikolay@hey.com, please?
Many (most?) smart TVs scan what you watch and send it to the manufacturer or one of their partners. Streaming, blu ray, home movies, and all of it.
Long story short, yes, you do indeed see the white jaguar crossover with the spinning lidar sensors every few minutes while you are out and about. Always a different person sitting in the driver seat, yes I've checked because I didn't believe the number of Waymo cars at first either.
Some things are nonlinear (that's kind of what "second order" means). With a pilot project, it's easy to observe things that are O(n), but not so easy to observe things that are O(n^2).

So sure, do a pilot project. Let's make sure that even the first-order stuff works the way we expect. But also think hard about second-order effects. And even after that, continually watch for un-thought-of second-order effects emerging as (and after) you roll it out.
Expanding to new markets and being a bottomless money dump are not mutually exclusive?

I discovered a few years ago that a Cruise will stop dead if it hears a horn. My bicycle happens to have an electric horn from a motorcycle. This provided some occasional amusement. I wonder if they still do that.
As William Gibson once said "the future is already here, just not very evenly distributed."

We should be terrified both for what is happening in Afghanistan and what it implies everywhere else.

When is it better to intentionally send yourself back to the early industrial revolution and when is it better to protect the data you're entrusted to protect?

Hopefully I never find myself asking that question seriously.

I can’t wait for truly autonomous cars. I live in the countryside and have to drive to collect and deliver kids, or abstain as a designated driver and so on. Self driving will change this.

The aspect I dislike is the move towards hiring cars on demand instead of owning them, though.

The ecological impact of this shouldn't be ignored.

Imagine the number of iPhones that are activation locked due to oversight of owners before disposal. They are much more likely to become e-waste.

Possession as the primary indicator of ownership isn't such a bad option after all.

At the very least, there should be a well-known process to remove these locks.
Black hair isn't white hair and black shared experiences in America are not white shared experiences in America. Sometimes you need to talk and vent without a bunch of resistance from outsiders to that experience.
Which is where things like Amazon Sidewalk or even just a 3g/4g sim come in... I'm glad the current state of TVs isn't using this (that I know up) but I fear it's right around the corner. I just want a dumb TV that I hook my Xbox and Apple TV up to.
