> The fraud bots will keep the ecosystem running

It's like that everywhere.

Yesterday a friend of mind was revealing to me that crypto currency exchanges were pressuring them to create bots so that their coin trading volume would go up or they would be delisted.

There are bots to write comments on trip advisor and to star on amazon. Bots to follow on twitter. Bot to click on referal links and bot to farm in games.

I'm pretty sure if we all suddenly went offline, half the internet would seem to keep going as usual.
Filtering out people based on a question about the blogs they read sounds kind of horrible. You'll get all noise and no signal.

I spend some time on HN and other places reading about stuff related to my field or about software in general. If you asked me that question, I would have zero chance recalling the last things I read. And it would raise a big red flag about whether you know what you're doing.

Just because you're filtering some people out, doesn't mean that your filter is good.
For running personal projects that don’t need to scale instantly to demand you are 100% right that you should not go with cloud providers. Hell, most startups shouldn’t either.
In the UK, gas is the most common fuel for heating homes and for cooking. Whether this gas crisis will change people's attitude to electric heating and cooking I don't know, but for a long time electric has been viewed negatively for heating and cooking (cost of electricity being a major reason).

In some ways, electric simplifies things: no complicated gas boiler to need to be serviced every year for safety. And modern induction hobs have some advantages over gas hobs (stovetops).
There were several very small implementation of JVM over the years. One semi-popular one was leJOS for Legos Mindstorms. At one point, I recall even building it for DOS to test some things.

I was lucky in the sense that I chose to switch to Colemak from QWERTY my first year in college when I realized I wanted to pursue programming as a career _and_ that I couldn't learn retroactively how to touch type QWERTY. I hadn't developed any real habits at that point.. all that I had was my terrible 5-total-finger QWERTY typing style inherited from shit-talking people in Age of Empires 2 when I was a kid.
This is some GPU programming library, not metal-semiconductor bonding improvements.
I love JavaScript and Typescript. They’re fun and easy to read and write, and there is little they can’t accomplish for the average use case. I haven’t dug nearly as deep into other languages, but I’ve dabbled with dozens, and Ecmascript 2020 is still my favorite language to code with.

The ecosystem is gargantuan, npm is great with pnpm, and all of the annoying parts of client side JS is made fun and easy with Svelte. With TS, CSS, and HTML (and Svelte bringing out their full potential), I can quickly make almost any app I want with incredible DX, comprehensive tooling, and next to no boilerplate. Every year it gets faster and faster, and when it’s not fast enough, there is WASM.

I would genuinely love to know what is so bad about it, and what I’m missing out on!
Looks great. I can't try it right now, but looking at the documentation I would suggest an alternative to CSV upload.

For larger documents CSV can be annoying. The line breaks needs to be escaped and commas need to be escaped. Pointing the application to a folder containing a corpus of text files is much easier.
Nope it was all completely dead.
What’s the incentive for a user to opt-in to tracking?
In Europe a system called "ecall" ("emergency" call) is mandatory in all cars sold after april 2018:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECall

On my 2019 Tesla Model 3 it's a button near the rear mirror.

I've heard that in some cases (crash) the cars makes the call automatically (happened to a friend, after a crash he heard someone talk to him through the system to check if he was ok).

This is the best reply you could have given. Makes me want to visit.
This is the best story I've read all week. More non-techy people should at least know how Google, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft work (i.e. their business models), and this is a start to put it in perspective for people who don't normally care about these things.
What advantages would a blwrap have over rlwrap? As I understand it, bestline's advantages over readline (fewer dependencies, license) only apply when you are using it as a library. rlwrap is a separate program that weighs in at around 200k. That could only ever be a problem on an embedded system, where rlwrap/blwrap wouldn't make sense anyway.
Maybe, soem rare issue that affects you inthe midle of a high way so you get stuck and can't put the car on neutral and coast to the side.

But to be fair we would need to know why this was the safest thing that a Tesla could do, hopefully we will get more info that is not quickly DMCA.

And before someone would label me some anti-Tesla something, I was also critique of Uber self driving and I am a big critique of other big tech giants so if you label me you need a more generic term.
Here are some musings on the subject from https://www.lepide.com/blog/is-gdpr-enforceable-in-practice-...

"In theory it could be that the EDPB could place embargoes, on sales of Acme Cola’s products within Europe, but if Acme Cola has a strong voice in the Senate, or indeed in Washington, would the US authorities play ball and encourage them to pay the fines, or would they be lobbied and fall on the side of Acme Cola to say no, we do not accept that US companies should have to adhere to someone else’s law?"

And here's a potential test case unfolding:

Something tells me there’s hardware engineers on the AR/VR team at Apple chuckling at news stories like these reading filings like tea leaves and not remotely getting close to predicting what Apple plans to do.
Agreeing in a court means not filing a court case saying they disagree. It means legally agree.

But anyway all the lawyers and the judge would have understood this and that's what matters in a court.
> I wonder if Apple isn’t running static analysis tools right now to look for these vulnerabilities against all apps.

On a side note, this is one more reason Apple can cite for their App Store exclusivity. If there is a vulnerability in the OS exploitable by apps, and they can’t get a patch out in time, they can screen and prevent the download of such dangerous apps.

Not a popular position here I know. But I’m correct no?
You’re effectively saying that representative democracy is a sham.

Zuck has set up the share structure so that even if all the other shareholders collectivised to move against him on *any* issue he’d still have his way. That’s a dictatorship.

I'm suggesting that calling a disease with the name of a nationality is as bad as a slur. The same can be said by calling Syphilis "the French disease".

You can flag my comment if you want, I simply don't care.

I have many things to do. However, I think that naming things in a better way is important. Calling a disease by a nationality is disgraceful.
B2C is the worst product we have ever worked with. Outages on constant basis, an extremely complex XML configuration, translation bugs, unsupported features which are only available in AD but not AD B2C (e.g. M2M), and really bad documentation. We basically had to dive in their github examples and issue tracker to make it work. Do yourself a favor and stay away from it.
100 Mbps internet connections are really common nowadays. 1 TB of bandwidth in a month is really nothing. I use more than that just for Netflix and torrents.

all the perverted governments out there who can’t get enough of our hard coded data. if this tech existed then, then how much behind the curtain is still yet to revealed. it’s pretty common for governments not to show off advanced technologies right away. in reality, that would probably be a breach of security revealing any of those secrets.
I think AT&T and telephone business are a bad analogy, exactly because Google kind of is involved in the telephone business and does not apply these stratagems there.

For me the point of the article is the strategy Mr. Google uses currently in other fields: They offer you a product for free, a product way better that other (even paid) offerings, to capture the market and to collect data and serve ads inside those products. This doesn´t apply to Android so much, but take Gmail, Google Maps, Search, YouTube. All these services are ostensibly given away for free (like AT&T phones in the article), but have their performance compromised by ads everywhere plus they siphon the user data like a vacuum.

So to paraphrase your criticism: Google doesn´t sell its maps, but pushes the paid listing with larger map icons. Google doesn´t sell its search, but gives adverts when you´d expect the honest best result for your query. Google doesn´t sell the videos (barring the paid offerings), but prepends and interrupts them with ads.

This article just applies these tactics to something we are so familiar with - the phone service.

>>services with near-zero marginal cost

I might be loking at this from the point of view of current, digital, automated and interconnected networks, but the way I see it, a phone network has near-zero marginal costs, too. Once you have built the network, your marginal cost per-call are quite low. I´d say comparable to relaying an email or replying to a search query once the infrastructure is in place.
> What this means in practice is that if you collect any personal data of people in the EU, you are required to comply with the GDPR.

In practice almost everyone in and out of the EU violates the GDPR because it is simply not enforced.

Not because it's impossible to hold foreign companies responsible, but because the authorities aren't even trying (except the very occasional headline grabber).
You have to start somewhere. If a name is not a good name, society should be pushing for a change of that name. It doesn't matter if it's because racism (Cleveland Indians case) or bad taste (Spanish Flu).

These trash cans will most likely be on the street for decades to come. For better or worse they'll be part of the city's image.

I can totally understand why a larger city like SF wants to spend some resources on this rather than just pick the next best off-the shelf solution without much thought.

Why isn’t electric parking brake operable/operated by 12V system? I’m sure it’s that way on normal cars.
Needs a small drone in the back of the car, with a glowing cone, that auto dispatches in such situations and diverts traffic.
I have had my (manual) car die too, but pushing it off road wasn't a problem. Starting the car when battery is down and using 2nd gear to push-start with help of strangers was possible too.

I haven't used a automatic car, do they start easily by pushing like a manual can? Guess the problem is really technology (and maturity of it.)
Quick Flow Male Enhancement Reviews – Is It Sexual Male Enhacement Supplement?
How does the Quick Flow Male Enhancement work?

The enhancement has demonstrated parts that are intense and incredible to work begin and give you results. Many sorts of reasons might be answerable for low erections issues. Some of them are the low testosterone level in the body, inappropriate blood stream all through penis chambers, and that's just the beginning. At the point when the legitimate and more blood stream improved all through the penis regions you can appreciate long erections. All the method involved with assembling is done in the USA in a FDA-enrolled office that likewise keeps every one of the guidelines and guidelines of the current GMP.

Apple have not stopped advertising or user tracking.

They’ve just made apps behave in an upfront honest way by letting the user know about it and giving the user the option to stop it.
It doesn't sound like it was "because of their inexperience" but rather because determining whether Linux C code is buggy is really hard. That's kind of the whole point.
That's interesting...do you know if there's any distinction made between social media embeds and just linking to external resources? I guess you could make a similar tracking argument for images linked from an external site (for example).
I really don’t see how it’s blown out of proportion. One, the article mentions that it is rather unclear, other than one idea or claim that it’s because of aesthetics, why the project is even being undertaken. That alone is cause for major concern. They’re spending money and wasting resources without even knowing why. Secondly, spending money on something when there’s already a solution seems bewildering, especially when there is no clear reason why those solutions don’t work. If it truly is aesthetics, is that what the people think or was it just someone’s personal feeling?

Lastly, San Francisco is riddled with trash and dirty streets. It seems rather surreal they’d spend so much on aesthetic trash cans, that may or may not work better than the existing solutions, when the streets are literally covered with human feces.

He has pushed 21,383 commits to that repo to keep his commit graph looking that good.

Because they are kids and they use it as a practice ground to gain those skills inadvertently. Or they use it as a practice ground where they don't have to deal with bigtech BS and can just develop with no design reviews and all the miles of BS getting in your way.

I like the point that your dream job of today might become your professional prison of tomorrow. But at the end this was the entrepreneurship porn that HN loves.

I got a different take on the topic. I work as a ML Engineer and many people I talk to (particularly students) say that they'd love to work in ML. When I ask why, few people can give an articulate answer other than "ML is cool".

What I try to convey is that work in ML can be as dull and unfulfilling as any other domain, and conversely other jobs can be thrilling and fulfilling. People let great opportunities go by chasing their "dream job", just to realised when they get there that it wasn't as brilliant as promised.

As a parting thought, some of the happiest people I know work a 9-5 job that gives them a reasonable living standard, and have rich and vibrant personal and social lives outside work.

It drives clicks for lazy journalists.

Although, it’s worth noting that part of Elon/Tesla’s approach to marketing is to not pay for advertising, and rely quite significantly on social media - with Elon’s sometimes controversial Twitter central to that. One might posit that they have made themselves into the click-worthy meme company that the media now exploit?
The other day I tried to update my Macbook over a personal hotspot and it happily downloaded about 2GB before the computer went to sleep and I was greeted with a "Whoopsie, failed to download the update, try again" message when I woke it and, of course, it would just start over again. They don't even support resuming the download! That's just embarrassing.
Thanks for the tip! The tool can deal with larger documents, so you're right that using a folder would be better in that case.
I loved the software and the work these wonderful people were doing it.
Even supported on Patereon.

So sad about this.
No. If the car is in power failure mode, it means that all systems may shutdown in any moment. So if you let the user to override the very important safety feature (of applying the electronic parking brake), there's a high risk that the car would die in free-rolling mode in dangerous situation. As a manufacturer you have to make this kind of trade-offs. I'm sure Tesla has put lot of thinking into this to minimize the risks in worst-case situation (power failure). It's easy to comment in internet without knowing/seeing all the details. Many commenters here seem not to have much knowledge of the basics of electric drivetrains or Teslas.
This right here. I think a lot of people don’t consider jumping ship at all, primarily because of iMessage (no source, just personal experience).
I'm curious. Would you accept it if Apple came out and said that the reason this is happening is because of the COVID pandemic affecting their operations?

Surely even if it were true, that is no excuse for a company like Apple?

> But every platform you listed is significantly more complex than that.

I'd agree with that on the surface but those platforms you listed are basically forums with a new name! They provide very little over and above that. So, in actual fact, they're only made more complex as a result of rules added by the owners to squeeze as much data from every visitor as is legally (and illegally in some cases) allowed! So they provide nothing of value above a regular forum imo.

In reality, they are lists of submissions from end users that have been categorized, however the categorization engine happens to be algorithmically generated, rather than ordered by date. And the companies themselves are doing whatever it takes to monetize your eyeballs regardless of whether it affects your health or not! They are abusing every visitor to the maximum extent that the laws allow!

Their business model is to centralize all forums on their platform and for that there is a massive cost at that scale. That's their choice to host all forums! However to pay for that they are abusing every visitor.

Using Reddit, a single forum about Ubuntu (/r/Ubuntu) would cost around $5 a month on DO for someone to host themselves. Using something like BBForum or something similar would not require much in the way of maintenance.

The point I am making is that all this stuff existed long before the big tech platforms. It can easily exist without them too. They are not actually providing anything of any worth that couldn't easily be found elsewhere (well, used to be found elsewhere!).

It varies a lot in the UK. Some companies share ranges in the job description, most dont. Many don't share a range publicly but you can get it in the first call with the recruiter if you ask. Some just don't give you anything. And the worst are the ones that don't give their ranges but ask for current and/or expected salary.
The only mitigating factor is that they’re not remote vulnerabilities.

That being said, this is more or less the industry standard. And even if the other person mentioning this was downvoted, they are right: this has been the case since forever and can only be remedied through laws making companies responsible for their failures. But neither the US government nor said companies want this. It will have to get so bad that it visibly harms US or EU security for something to move in this space.
> I can't imagine most people would care about that

It depends. In India for example, vegetarians also have a learnt aversion towards meat (for religious/caste reasons). Even now, in colleges, many vegetarian students demand to have their own separate hostels and canteens, so that they don't have to use the same utensils that have once been contaminated with meat (even though they have been washed thoroughly with soap after).

For someone like this, anything meat like is disgust-inducing and not even remotely an option.

This is exactly what I remember from the book.

I actually think this book is one of the rarer examples where the various stories and anecdotes that are sometimes seen (rightly) as “padding”, are actually in this case quite effective at getting the message across in quite a memorable way.

It’s been a while since I read it but I seem to recall a lot of similarly effective stories about airline pilots too.
I have mixed feelings about dog breeds. They are selectivly bred for a specific set of features for a use-case, if that use-case is gone, is there a purpose for the breed? Other than a companion or to look pretty? Should we feel bad if they go away?

Thanks for sharing! It looks very interesting. From a brief check, they do not seem to be UI-based like dataqa (although you can use it in a notebook), they do not offer a search engine and they are probably one level of abstraction below dataqa. You can do some of the stuff dataqa does but would need to code. Some of the rules offered by dataqa rely on complex operations with regular expressions, and are not so easy to program yourself.
