No it wasn't.

All payments must be manually authenticated. I have replied the parent comment.
I think that's a foundational question!

Does the sun count or the earth? Or people?
No it wouldn't, no executive at any company would risk federal time and money laundering charges if it was made illegal.
Assuming their a competitor 1% seems like a small tax to pay to gain the entire market share.
True, and the cat can't be put back in the bag, so it's up to the collective "us", who build the Internet, to rediscover our moral imperative to fix what's broken... and Facebook is a huge chunk of this brokenness.
The parent comment is about the concept of citizenship revocation in general.
That's victim blaming. Even if we don't pay up, people will still spread ransomware just for shits and giggles. The cat is out of the bag.
> App developers were mad about Apple's egregious 30% cut for doing payment processing. If Apple wants everyone to accept Apple IAP, it can simply lower its fees to competitive payment processing rates.

Apple has never characterized the 30% as "payment processing" -- it's it's always characterized it as a commission, which the court affirmed and explicitly mentioned that Apple is allowed to pursue that commission, even if the developer chose to use another payment provider. Apple's IAP has been an enforcement mechanism for that 30% cut.
> If it's not Facebook it's gonna be TikTok or something other platform.

You are right that there will always be a different “drug” that exposes the same underlying societal issues. But given that FB+Insta are /algorithmically/ pushing these posts to users to increase engagement, it is their problem too.
Fahrenheit vs. Celsius: Did the U.S. Get It Right After All? (2017)
Basic Orwell 101: Eternal war is a prerequisite for totalitarian rule. The war doesn't have to be real but the appearance of war or preparations for war is a must. Look at North Korea. It's almost always on brink of war with the South. China is moving in NK's direction so people feel war is coming. It's not, it's just that China is becoming more totalitarian. The ruling class don't care, don't want and actually cannot fight a war.
this. And then be bullied by even more people outside said reach
Cool stuff. I did not push myself that far since I was mostly looking for headers/titles recognition. In that area while the height of the line is on average (meaning everything else being equal) a less-valuable-than-expected indication, word width is more accurate. You still need to rely on some statistics, but results are more descriptive and reliable to make inferences.

Also for all of the women I've seen flown out from Alabama, Mississippi, etc to NY, LA & Miami by the more affluent men in my social circles, I haven't seen a single long term relationship develop out of it. The wider net isn't leading to better outcomes.
Not all algorithms are created equal. TikTok's for instance seems to be biased to make weirdos find their niche, as opposed to the more binary steamrollers coming from Silicon Valley's monoculture.

Thread Sanitizer Explained: Data Races in Swift
Photon - photon scattering in vacuum is a known process, they can interact through virtual particles.
The problem is that the probability of such an event is very low and requires very high photon energies.
The idea that races have anatomical differences is very much contested, and rightly so.
> Human beings have a continuum of features that is heavily interlaced amongst all the 'races'.

That doesn't mean race doesn't exist any more than the fact that height is a continuum doesn't mean that short people and tall people don't exist.
Ask HN: Been job hunting for two years. No luck. Do I need a personal project?
I have a degree and was a professional full stack .NET for 10 years. I used to think I wasn't getting hired because I looked like a job hopper but now they tell me it's because I haven't been working as a developer in two years. I am still just as knowledgeable and I don't apply to jobs that require me to know the latest tech anyways. So I am applying for things I am qualified for and know how to do.

I'm pretty much on my last limb and really need a job at this point. I don't know why I can't convince anyone to hire me. Like, I've seen your guys' code, lol. Like, I can't even find work fixing someone's junky windows forms app. I can program, really.

I am considering doing a personal project. I don't know if that will even help because I suspect 9/10 hiring managers aren't even considering me.

I don't have any friends or a LinkedIn. I just know how to program. I will do a great job wherever I find work. How do I trick these people into doing their job good and recognizing a good developer?
It would be funny if Firefox would warn you about downloading Firefox because it is marked as malware. Would server Mozilla right for letting Google maintain that list, who have shown they do not care about false positives.
What do you mean you don’t need money? How will you pay for services where people must spend their time to serve you? Any time you start tracking who owes something to someone you have the beginnings of currency. The post-scarcity economy being free of money never really made sense.
I had a sister comment which wasn't as thorough as yours so I deleted it. It's worth adding though that for mobile applications, power consumption isn't just a cost factor, since better efficiency means you can have tighter packaging, get more battery life, not roast your lap as much, have quieter cooling, etc.
If you come home from work and your neighbor tells you that you accidentally ran over a stray cat as you left in the morning... do you just move on with your day and blame the cat... or do you start paying a little more attention so it doesn't happen again?

The "fault" or "original sin" if you will, may lie with society, but Instagram and Facebook are capable of recognizing how their impact plays into that. At this point we know that they know. To be aware and not attempt to change their behavior is squarely unethical.
My current phone (Xiaomi POCO F2 Pro) only displays a faint lock/unlock icon above the logo while booting. Easy to miss.

But that's not really important, because unlocking the bootloader factory resets the device on every Android phone that I know of. AFAIK it's not possible to unlock a bootloader without the owner's knowledge.

How are you so sure? You really didn’t address OP’s point about content blocking and privacy tools.
I'm just going to assume you are not a teen girl. And I'm certainly not one so we can just pull things out of our asses. But I don't think that the issue is the pop star or super model any more. It's the influencers and the idea that "anyone" can be top dog now. This means that you have young regular girls following other young "regular" girls. And if you do what they do, use the same products, be as charismatic then you too can be an influencer. Maybe not a global one but at your school. So suddenly you have young girls that "expose" themselves publically for their 62 followers and pretending to be a influencer. Which makes you a very large target for bullying and "harsh truths" that will end your "influencer career" and at the same time that sliver of self esteem that a teenager normally has. And this is 100% caused by having a platform that is "democratic" and allows everyone to "compete for likes on equal terms".
Restaurant Promotions Are a Powerful Marketing Tool
Do US documents do that? In my recollection, you're usually asked to specify a race, and then "Latino" is included in a separate ethnicity question.
I have paid for splitting a ride share, tipping open source projects, donating to development funds, etc. I use it because I hate the trend of surveillance capitalism you see with crap like Venmo and even credit cards.
After making a weather app that helps me switch between C/F temperatures, I came to the same conclusion as MKBHD: "Fahrenheit is better for weather..."[1] Fahrenheit roughly covers the scale of air temperatures experienced by humans where 0 is cold and 100 is hot with maximum precision for a given number of digits.

Unfortunately, MKBHD failed to eloquently articulate this. And I couldn't find the Twitter image that helped me realize why F was better for weather.

It's most apparent with air temperature, but both Metric/Imperial systems have their merits. Generalized like this:

- Metric: science-based, regular (powers of 10)

- Imperial: human-scaled, divisible (many divisors, including 3)

For example, in the discussion a surfer says "if you measure wave height in metres or cm it is not as accurate compared to the human body (a 6ft wave is under 2 m and we would not call a wave 182.88 cm high)"

Here is another article that tries to explain this "hot take:" http://thevane.gawker.com/fahrenheit-is-a-better-temperature...

Wouldn't it be great if we could use the power of technology to then have one but not the other?
I think the idea is that it's picking up on a coincidental correlational bias in the source data.
Facebook’s Blocking Decisions Are Deliberate – Including Censorship of Mastodon
I don't know. Seems to be easier (read "cheaper") to run shitty software and not train people well, so this doesn't happen in the first place.

It's not like Ransomware is some god-given thing that just happens.

There's a case in Germany right now where the critical Confluence bug was simply not patched for two weeks after the notice that there's a critical bug/exploit. Now the systems are down and everybody's wondering how that could probably have happened...

"Won't happen here" is easier than taking care.

If UI is a blocker to launch, you should probably just solve that issue for the short term. There are many wonderful designers in the world. I recommend going towards the smaller shops that will be iterative with you - in my experience the bigger ones just want to take a list of requirements and design 10 screens while the smaller shops are willing to work with you to create a compelling design (and actually understand your use case!) for just a handful (which you can then apply the principles to the rest of your app).

In my case (startup currently consisting of just myself), I have a lovely designer who I contract with and I’m able to do just enough UI work to get by between projects with her. I highly recommend the “Refactoring UI” book for giving developers the skills to do the bare minimum of UI design (it’s relatively short and gives actionable principles). there’s no substitute for having someone who really (tries to) sit in the users shoes and figure out what a good (minimal!) experience should be.
Depends on what you mean by "government intervention".

The phrase is usually used to stop people fixing problems like this, which are the kind of collective action problem that only government action can solve.

The government intervention you mention is actually just the voters with property using their vote to protect their wealth. And that worked exactly as intended.
Someone could flash a hacked version of lineage when you're not looking.
It was literally the basis for Jurassic Park. It's kinda like the fusion meme. Except fusion seems a bit closer than it used to.
The difference is that Instagram/etc inundate you with nonstop algorithmically “related” posts from every supermodel, not just the ones you chose to follow.
The US has not met their maximum vaccination percentage. According to the graph I get in Google the US is stuck on around 50% fully vaccinated. Considering the head start they had on most of the world and the vaccine supplies this can't be described as anything other than a complete and utter failure on all levels.
Aren’t lives worth living a subset of Instagram worthy lives?

If you could make jurassic park with actual zoo architecture and technology that would be pretty cool.
Here:

- You can run Java applets in a web browser!

-> Yeah, so? There are all crap, slow to start, big on resource bloat, slow to draw, and don't offer much).

-> Ew. Time to stop doing that.

Then 15+ years passed, during which JS became the dominant way to build CRUD/Enterprise/form-based/and more apps, got big features (from WebRTC to an embedded DB, and from accelerated canvas and 2D graphics to MIDI). And it even hit big on the server too.

Then: - I've had a brilliant idea! We need a bytecode-based VM in the browser so a web page can run arbitrary code.

WebAssembly, is faster than Java Applets was back then, has easier ties to the DOM for UI (as opposed to being a sandbox), can be used to supplement conventionally written web apps, and is not tied to a single company.

So, quite a lot of differences due to time, and also in the characteristics of the technologies involved.
When I was a kid, my parents worked really hard to teach my how and why to avoid things that would harm me. This ranged from discouraging behaviors like running with scissors or drinking and driving, to substances like tobacco or heroin. Social media did not exist when I was a child, or I'm certain it would have been among those behaviors taught to me as harmful, addictive, and easy to screw yourself up by being involved with.

Of course...it would have been much harder for me to absorb those life lessons if my parents did those things they told me were harmful. If dad got loaded and drove around, or if mom shot up smack, it would have compromised me avoiding those things by following their example. It's tough to tell your kid to avoid social media when they watch their parent mindlessly entranced by it. Do the right thing there, remind your children that what 'Joe Influencer' or 'Jane Fashionista' thinks doesn't fucking matter. There are attention seeking idiots all around us, but they exist in spectacular high volume on social media.

tldr; parent your children to avoid social media, there is limited upside and infinite downside. This may mean not scrolling meme's all night on your phone while your kid does their homework - but you can do it.
> appetite in Europe to invest tens of billions in building their own chip industry.

Why would they. They build the machines that create the chips. TSMC would merely manage the chip building orders and the consumables. In case of national emergency I doubt that any government would have qualms about nationalising the factories.
I got the chain of connections. But I don't think he adequately presented evidence for the various links in that chain.

I mean, it all seems fairly plausible; but I felt after watching it that I wasn't convinced. I guess what I need reading material, with links to sources.

I just found "The Trap: What Happened To Our Dream Of Freedom" on iPlayer. When it came out I only managed to see episode 1, which I liked a lot. So now I'm (re)watching the whole set of 3.
Thanks for the update - I did not realize that :)
I personally deleted my account but what is it about Facebook that is worse than say Twitter (also deleted) ? Twitter was a big bag of toxicity. Not saying it wasn't interested, tons of interesting people to follow; but the discussions were often rude, racist and hateful. And it poses the same problem of teens following supermodels and what not.
What I'm saying is this is about social media in general, not about Facebook which just happens to be the (currently) number 1 platform.
This is notable now more than ever. What are the alternatives? Mastodon? Self-hosted blog/microblog (activitypub)?
is this basically a free vrsn of this?

Thanks for the feedback: I've found that most of the learning I've done has been thanks to feedback from reddit/hackernews so I'm very much dependent on it to know whether I'm off the mark. In terms of authoritative tone, I agree: some posts are stated in confident terms because I _am_ confident, but of course I'm learning to adjust that confidence level based on feedback.

I think the number for teens/tweens is much higher compared to adults, and that is what they are getting at. Adults can(presumably) make their own decisions. Younger brains will likely have difficulty in finding the steps to break out of the loop.
M1 is great but not everyone wants a SoC. I like the ability to swap out parts in my PC build.
Hmm... Weird:

as it does, one could almost think he means that's a bad thing. And then:

> This will make programs harder to read, understand, maintain, and debug.

Yeah, so what -- isn't that what C++ is all about?
I recently called out my bank for advertising a "0.10%" savings interest rate, a similar problem I think.

To anyone here it's obvious that this is the same as a "0.1%" rate, but I do suspect that to a not-insignificant proportion of the population, they'd consider "10 > 1", and conclude that this account is better for them than another one offering "0.2%" interest.

I realise this might be a stretch, but to look at it another way, should a bank be allowed to advertise their savings rate as "0.100%" or "0.10000%"?
Following a or b is not the problem. Ranking is. As you mentioned, it was already a problem in the times of simple broadcasting, it became an even bigger problem now. Our massive servers will go brrrrr serving algorithms all over the world much faster than we can dream about interveening. The Rohingya crisis stands as a terrifying example.
>Yes, but on flipside said girl now can and fully expects to be courted by best boys well outside of 1995 logistic reach.

I honestly can't tell if you're joking or not, but study after study has shown that dating was far more mentally healthy in 1995 than it is today. Online dating falls into almost the exact same category of causing anxiety and making it more difficult for younger generations to form meaningful relationships - just like instagram and facebook.

PDF is basically a programming language, so instead of sending image data you send a program which is interpreted by the PDF reader to render an image on the client. That makes it really hard to secure completely.
it's the switch on and boot up time thats a problem, crime usually happens so fast and blindsides you that you don't stand a chance to a) take out the camera and switch it on b) wait for it to boot up c) your hands are shaking and your confused so you will struggle to press record d)you need your hands free to help you defend yourself.
What do you mean by bullshit? People who like it and follow the fake personae on social media are wasting their time? Or what exactly?
Are all invented things bullshit, so also books, music, movies, paintings...? Maybe posting this artificial person on social media is just another way to tell a story?

There is a massive difference between there being a biological basis to some of the phenotypes associated with racial categories and there being "biological meaning" to identifying races.

"Black" represents a wide range of genotypes, many which differ more from each other than from "white" individuals and populations, even if there may be other tendencies like bone density and novel genetic features that appear more commonly or exclusively in some subsets of the "black" population. The skin colour phenotype being (usually) darker just happens to be very easy to notice and have acquired a lot of socially constructed meaning. Except in the narrow context of skin tones, it isn't biologically meaningful to consider "black" people as a particular group though, particularly not compared to more specific genetic markers that don't have the same socially constructed meaning...
In this case, would that mean justuseapp's account being shut down earlier in the process? Neither your reply nor pc's seem to indicate (to me, at least) that justuseapp is likely to be reinstated and kept as a customer for a long time.
