I suspect that's because you can programmatically start video playback from within event handlers. That's necessary because otherwise any site that use custom playback controls will break. However, that also means malicious sites can implement "autoplay" by adding a onmousedown/onscroll/touchstart event handler and starting playback from there. Video playback will start the moment you try to interact with the page in any way.

I mean I assume the temperature of fermentation would affect people via the microbes. Perhaps I’m not following what distinction you’re making?

Also my understanding is that lagers are cold-fermented. Are you suggesting that’s somehow a “riskier” beer?
Forced treatment is opposite of how a person already sick of this world needs to be treated. That's not what I was suggesting. Something like providing a way to live a totally different kind of life in a totally different environment might actually help. Psychiatrists etc can suggest better ways.

Society usually tries to help, not deny the rights in a larger scheme of things. If you find someone on the verge of ending their life will you judge their sanity based on their age (what age if so and why) before deciding whether or not you should stop them or just let them do it because they must have a good reason?

I always wonder how we decide that at certain age a person is sane enough to start making decisions for their own life. In some ways or the other, we always need assistance from other people no matter how adult we become. This is just one of them. Society thinks it can help people from killing themselves just like we help kids from killing themselves unknowingly for first many years of their lives.
I can ignore those digital ads and mostly do as the vast majority of the purchases are for things I know exactly what I want. In the case of physical mail I have to take periodic physical action to empty my mailbox (and physically recycle 95% of it, which I have to indirectly pay for) or they will quit delivering the mail and mark it as vacant. I don't think they are equivalent. I wonder how many waste disposal/recycling people this subsequently helps employ along the chain if you were to add up all of the tossed junk mail for a year. We're paying for all of that.
I knew a guy a few years ago who was dropshipping like this, making ~$4k/month as a side hustle. He had a couple employees in the Philippines handling the ordering. Basically using Amazon FBA to leverage Amazon's UI/UX to sell people stuff at Wal-Mart prices.
Relevant paragraphs from the article:

> Normally, accusations of misconduct are handled out of public view by a little-known state committee. But the professors wanted to make some noise. They filed grievances against 21 Queens prosecutors, and instead of keeping their complaints quiet, they built a website and published everything online — and made plans to expand the effort to other boroughs.

> The 21 grievances were based on judicial findings of misconduct. In many cases, the convictions that the prosecutors’ misbehavior had helped to win had been reversed or overturned. But the prosecutors, who worked to send innocent people to prison or otherwise violated professional standards, had not been held accountable. Indeed, a number have continued to work as prosecutors in Queens, or elsewhere in New York.

> The city has argued that the professors’ actions violated a New York law that requires that complaints related to lawyers’ conduct be kept private unless judicial authorities decide otherwise. The professors are asking that a judge declare that law to be unconstitutional, a violation of their First Amendment rights.

IMO it's absurd that criminal convictions are public, and yet the mere public mention of a third party's complaint against a prosecutor after a judge has found the prosecutor's actions to be misconduct is quashed. IANAL but it seems like a straightforward First Amendment case.

Stanford University has been systematically erasing the names of early professors and missionaries from buildings and streets who were politically incorrect by current standards. They almost needed to rename the university itself due to the naughty speeches of Governor Leland Stanford. But fortunately they have a loophole since the University is named for his son who died as a teenager.

In case anyone missed this point too, blockchain technology enables the notion of robotic singularity. Not saying that's what it is, but when your robot (or car) is connected to an immutable ledger, it has access to everything every other robot (or car) senses, so for instance robots connected to a blockchain can synchronize their orchestration (so, for instance, making it more possible to produce self driving cars).
It's awkward to work with fully nested structures. Think about having a map of customer objects which have a list of addresses and you need to update everyone's first address to be capitalized for some raeson. You'd really want a fully fleshed out lens library and maybe even macros for auto generating them on your concrete data structures to make it easy to 'update' (via a persistent structure) without having to deal with all the cruft of doing it by hand.

Who cares? All of my friends use Linux as their desktop. They have been for over a decade. Additionally, I made others Linux users just by installing it on their laptop instead of installing Windows. It made no difference to them. One of them told me she wants to have Opera and whatever else on it. I installed them. Everything works, and she is now a Linux user.

In any case, Linux is already doing pretty good. All my packages get updated, my favorite programs along with libraries I use are maintained, and I hear a lot about Linux-related stuff. It is doing pretty damn good!

Good news - you should be using Signal anyway
Your use of the word transparent confused me a little. It seems you are using it in the sense that details that are being made transparent are being hidden from the user.

But if you make something transparent to the user, it could also mean that you are directly exposing that thing to the user. (Right? I could be wrong about this.)

Just confused me and thought it might be useful to you to know that. Not trying to be an asshole.
A monad is like when your cat poops on the carpet, so you wrap your cat in toilet paper. Then your cat has kittens, and the kittens are born with toilet paper wrapped around them!

No here’s a better explanation:

A monad is like when you have a clock, but it’s broken and goes too fast. So you rewind it, and the next morning you wake up and it’s 5000 BC.

Or here’s a better explanation:

A monad is like when Donald Trump won the election, and then stacked the Supreme Court, and now we’re totally fucked!

That’s it! That’s exactly what a monad is!

Something about the post itself: while I'm firmly in the "it's annoying" camp, as is the author, the poll is a textbook example of how to make a heavily biased poll.

Maybe there is a person or two who actually like it, but the dripping sarcasm of the poll's response is saying "whoever you are, you're cretins", and is not quite inviting for a discussion.

I'd love to hear from someone who actually liked this pattern (and many others) as a consumer. It's so alien. Maybe I'd learn something.

Then again, I'm probably going to write that crawling bot that would frequent the sites I read, snip the actual content and deliver it to me via email or my Kindle. Call RMS what you will, but that bit of his digital life is quite clever.

I am so sick of this holier-than-thou narrative on HN. I am 100% a crypto critic, but the idea that crypto is the primary existential threat we face today is not only absolutely absurd, it's also highly hypocritical, considering how routinely mega-corps eschew human rights reform and eco-responsibility.
For me I do workouts to train for back country hiking. So many of the workouts are timed with many rounds where you are tracking a goal. I have a Garmin that I have programmed several of the workout types into so I can see my overall time, current round time, current round count, and total count. I also use it for timed weighted hikes were I can track my elevation change and heart rates.

> You don't even need 66%, just a big percentage of shareholders

Unlike most companies in the stock market, the fact that Ethereum has a low point of entry leads to two things happening:

- The sheer amount of people needed to be involved in collusion would make such an attack practically impossible.

- The chance of such an attack being profitable is so low to make it economically unattractive. An attack of the network would lead to a loss of the value of Ethereum itself, so unless those in collusion have other assets on the chain that are more valuable than the staked Ethereum itself, it will end up being net negative.

> Uncensorable is a pipe dream (...) China's mining ban has demonstrated.

China may ban mining as much as they want, this is not the uncensorable part I am talking about. What I am talking about is that there is no single entity that can stop you from making transactions on the blockchain. Even if someone is deemed "subversive" in China and gets denied a service by the social credit system, they can still have access to the blockchain, buy, sell and use services.

We don't need even need to talk about China. Just think of all the people who had problems with Paypal and had their funds frozen with no recourse. Think of all the people that live in countries with strict capital controls and can not move their money if they want to. This is what I mean by "uncensorable".

> you're wildly mischaracterizing the costs of the existing payment systems vs crypto

Currently, it costs more (a lot more) to make even simple transfers on the blockchain, but as the technology scales and new solutions come up, these will go down. There will also be insurance, fraud-detecting and even conflict-resolution [0] systems based on the blockchain, so at one point the UX will be just as good as swiping a credit card.

Last I checked signal still needs a phone number so that is an issue. Lots of people use smartphones with no sim hooked up and wifi only. I was using wire for a bit but my 2 contacts were forced signed out and the password and password reset does not work only option is to start a new account and now they too were asking for a phone number. So onto something else I guess.
Centralized services will all suffer the same fate.

Oh it's not like I am trying to steal its IP from my company. I don't do that shit for everything I do. But only for the ideations that I know are great and think I am going to use later. In that regard, programming can be easily generalised. Let me give you some examples.

1) Let's us say my company wants me to create a full stack dashboard that helps you visualise the inventory. I can just create a corona dashboard and then adjust the db tables and models in the office whereas keeping my original idea still free.

2) I create a library to easily log my programs with proper gears suited to my needs.

3) I write a DB script that helps me do active passive backup easily.

4) I write an FPGA library with vLL but enforcing an encryption. I provide a use case for astronomy (whereas my company is for retail, let us say)

My point is there's always a way out.

So basically, no one is actually buying the story of "digital gold" or "store of value". They are either playing the game of greater fool, or trying to cash out of it.

If you don't intend to be hyperinflationary, the printing of money has to be associated with the acquisition of value or the assumption of debt. The debt is repaid through taxation.

Grandparent comment is referring to the position that taxes are extracted via threat of force. This is an extremely emotionally fraught position, and it's difficult to discuss rationally.

So, the reasoning goes, if you have to tax to print money, it is done by resort to force or threat thereof.
I have problems with this:

1. speciation (as I understand it) has a clear definition: if two populations can mate, then they're the same species. I don't think preferences come into this - for lots of reasons (the vast number of possible interactions between populations, consent isn't required to produce offspring, etc). Saying "I don't think these people would fancy each other" isn't enough to define a new species.

2. the clear differences between specimens recovered does not reflect any clear difference between populations over time. The population of homo-ish living beings over the last 100,000 years is enormous, and we've recovered a tiny, miniscule, fraction of that. Classifying specimens is fine, but we shouldn't make the mistake of thinking that those specimens represent actual populations of humans. The sample size is too small to draw any meaningful conclusions.

I think the effort to minimise the differences between early humans is admirable, and should be continued. We have a tiny, farcically small sample size of evidence to base any conjectures about early humans on. Being inclusive about Homo Sapiens because it stops nazis being dicks about race is a good thing.
Earlier this year, when the change was announced and the media talked about it, I saw a ton of people starting to use signal (non-tech neighbours, my plumber, headhunters I still have in my contact list, etc). At this point I asked my mother to install it and to my surprise a lot of her friends where actually on Signal.

It's still not the majority but at this point there is a significant user base for signal, much more than one year earlier.

From your article:

> When Rudy Giuliani ran for mayor of New York City in 1993, he campaigned on a platform of bringing down crime and making the city safe again.

> Since 1960, rape rates had nearly quadrupled, murder had quintupled, and robbery had grown fourteenfold.

> Giuliani won the election, and he made good on his crime-fighting promises [...]

> The results were dramatic. In 1996, the New York Times reported that crime had plunged for the third straight year, the sharpest drop since the end of Prohibition. Since 1993, rape rates had dropped 17 percent, assault 27 percent, robbery 42 percent, and murder an astonishing 49 percent.

I'm not sure what point you were trying to make, but nobody disputes that Giuliani's policies on crime were extremely effective.

Maybe they had some undesirable side-effects for the minority communities that were most affected by the policies. That should definitely be addressed. But those communities became safer and more affluent in the meantime.

So what we were going for with the core API is that it should be expressive enough for all kinds of distributed programming tasks, not just Spark-like or batch computing stuff.

We’re planning on doing several of these articles to show different applications. I think some distributed stream processing library would be super cool and there are lots of sources of inspiration for that like you mention. It would be a more interesting translation than the Spark-like stuff though. Likely using the channels ability for message passing.

I worked at WhatsApp between 2011 and 2019. This FAQ had very specific instructions for how to opt out of sharing that were only available for a limited amount of time. The FAQ serves as documentation of the product and there's no need to keep online specific instructions that can no longer be followed.

In order to opt out, you needed to have an existing account and take specific actions around the time you agreed to the 2016 new terms of service. Based on the internet archive, this article was removed after April 20, 2018, and before May 5, 2018. When it was most likely obsolete (I don't recall the specific deadlines for accepting the 2016 TOS)

On the plus side, the various terms of services are all available without digging in the internet archive https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/terms-of-service/revisions
According to archive.org, it was removed sometime between Apr 20th and May 5th, 2018. Last snapshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20180420190834/https://faq.whats...

Even when the option was there, it was hidden behind the 'read terms and conditions' link.

If you missed that, there was an opt-out in Settings > Account > Share my account info. But the site implies that option is only available for the first 30 days.

And even if you, despite their best efforts, opt-out, it's a very limited opt-out:

The Facebook family of companies will still receive and use this information for other purposes such as improving infrastructure and delivery systems, understanding how our services or theirs are used, securing systems, and fighting spam, abuse, or infringement activities.
