From a UI point of view, the failures I typically see is that agreeing to everything is easy but declining is difficult despite both options needing to be equally prominent.

From a technical point of view, the tracking scripts are often loaded to begin with (where your IP address & browser fingerprint is already leaked) and declining tracking merely "asks them nicely" with no guarantee they'll obey the signal or whether the already-collected data (from just loading the script) will be deleted.
Yes, in hindsight this is in my mind! First time founder and Circles was the first piece product/code that I wrote on my own accord, evolved quite a lot but still some decisions I would make again.

There's research that can only be done in space because the microgravity allows smaller forces to be isolated and studied in ways they can't be on Earth. For one example they can grow protein crystals better up there which allow studying their structure and finding medical interventions to treat the diseases associated with them.

I have watched DFV's senate hearing several times. That man is incredibly smart. Seriously have his speaking compilation video a watch. The way he handles bipartisan questions and won the heart of both democrats and republicans is incredible. He was extremely empathatic and personable when it came to responding to questions. He didn't dodge a single question but everything he said made him stronger by word. It is incredible. I have watched a lot senate and cogressional hearing and I can say he was phenomenonal. These hearing almost always make people feel they were being blamed of something or being negligent but in DFV's case.... I have no clue how he formed sentences on the spot to create common ground.

I have been in WSB for ages and there is a very very niche, handful of people who might be the smaetest people I have ever interacted on the internet.
This is some invite only software, am I missing something? I couldn't use it right away, I was asked to join waitlist.
But the good part is you can just decline to consent. Because under GDPR if they need consent at all (that is they really don't need the data), then you can decline.
The workarounds (err, I mean 'solutions') can create worse problems than they solve and it scares me as a former software safety person to see them. An example is the "action suppression" which is essentially a delay to prevent nuisance braking.
My guess is that your idea is right, but the gradient is just not smooth enough.

I made this same point awhile back to some colleagues, about my AmazFit smart watch. They were aghast that I'd have a Chinese product like that, given the possibility/likelihood of Chinese surveillance.

But, although China could monitor me, why would they care about some random guy out of 300 million Americans? And even if they cared, what could they do that might actually affect my life?

In contrast, we know that many US companies have an open wire to American law enforcement and surveillance agencies. And these people do have an interest in monitoring me (even if I'm not doing anything wrong), and they do have the power to harm me.

China might be eviller in many respects, but the products of a Chinese company are harmless to me, especially in comparison to domestic ones.

On a related note, I'm wondering if there are plans for updating httpbin. The httpbin repo was transferred to the Postman organization somewhere between January and March of 2019 [1]. The last commit was made on November 2018 [2] and it's currently suffering from outdated Python dependencies.

Getting it out that Obama did not want Assange prosecuted is typical of American style politics. When you are on both sides of the fence you can address criticism by pointing out that you did not want to take the action or pointing to the action that you did take to get him extradited. It is a win no matter which way the wind blows.

It's also the demogrpahic of the internet. Internet is abundant with, for a lack of a better term, toxic people. Which makes sense if you think about it, since on the internet you can be toxic with very very little to no consequences. Lot of toxicity comes out in the form of criticisms. On a moderated forum like HN it's not easy to criticize a person, so you go for the next good thing - a company or a new area.

If one just reads the HN solely, they might get the impression that Google is the most evil company on the earth since the beginning of time. In reality very few people actually have that kind of view. It's mostly toxic people need to find a target to unleash their toxicity; on HN it's Google.

Since you are young, I'd advise to be very cautious on internet. Never take internet crowd as a proper sample of real world population. It's very skewed and almost always not in a good way.

Downvoting is going a bit too far, but bundling a few individual opinions on defaults alongside broadly accepted (implemented in both Node & Deno after much discussion) features seems... presumptuous.
I see negative comments on this on here and (mostly) reddit.

Ask HN: Burnout at 20, How to Recover?
I've been into the computers since I was a kid and I love what I've been doing and totally enjoying it.

I started working as a Software Engineer when I was 18 and been doing that in the last 2.5 years, been in two different start-ups and in my current $CURRENT_DAY_JOB started earning 6 figure salary at 19.

When i first joined my $CURRENT_DAY_JOB, it was fun, challenging and i was totally enjoying every moment of it, putting nearly 16-18 hours a day, trying to learn the technologies my team uses by doing side projects after work, optimizing and rewriting the current components of codebase by fancy technologies like eBPF-Rust just for fun and they went production too, everything was so satisfying for me at that moment! But lately the tasks started to felt boring, I have no motivation to work on tasks, do code-reviews, read posts I see on HN, attending paper-reading groups, work on my open source projects(Total 4K stars on several projects). When I see an email from my side-project I want to do something about it but I have no motivation to do it and it started giving me creeps.

I don't think it is related to my $CURRENT_DAY_JOB because I got promoted and started leading a team of 3 people, they appreciate what I do and I feel respected here. I have responsibility for my team, my co-workers and I feel like I'm failing them.

I clearly don't know what should I do, I started smoking Indica when I feel so stressed and it helps to fight with my anxiety, but something just doesn't feels right for me and it creeps me out, what should I do?
There's a lot of different lisps out there, but in general:

- simple syntax

- tend to be expression-oriented, which some people favor

- usually have pleasant functional programming features

- usually have well-thought-out semantics
I agree that it's depressing that people don't realise the power of collective action. It would be lovely to see in labour markets or in rental markets for example.

However, the sums of money and level of commitment involved in starting a new city are radically different to that in buying a bit of GameStop or Bitcoin or whatever.

Even if you chucked in ten grand your friends might think you're crazy.

By contrast that's not even getting you half of the materials of a house. Or an apartment. Even if it's a prefab with no interior. And we haven't even started talking about making a city yet, what with all of the roads and power lines and decision makers and those juicy bits.

It's actually just a far harder problem to solve.

Once in middle school, I wrote a fake format command and added it to autoexec.bat on my moms computer then promptly forgot about it because video games and sugar. Turns out she didn’t turn on her computer until Monday morning while I was at school. Mild mannered me was called to the principals office, expecting the worst. It was my mom on the phone frantically worried that her hard drive had just been nuked. I tell her what I did and she didn’t stop laughing for like 10 minutes. I was still grounded but I was allowed to use the computer or still play video games.

Taking this more meta, and possibly utopian...

Collective action, or rather, any effective form of organisation is (arguably) the limiting factor on human progress. Corporation, country, tribe, union... all forms of organisation.

These are all very different, have very different strengths, weaknesses and abilities. Tribal chiefs are not very likely to be effective at the same things, in the same way as a CEO or a prime minister. Linux, GNU, WWW, Wikipedia and such are another form. Rare, relatively. But novel and productive. What these organisations produced is again, qualitatively different from what commercial entities produce. There's a medium-message dynamic between form and product.

A lot of things are clearly doable, but our forms of organisation don't produce them. We're basically limited to the things that are forms of organisation can produce. Organisational methods are a limiting factor to the same extent that resources, science and such are limiting factors.

This starts (according to YNH) at the start of history, or rather, we might define "human history" as the point at which our methods of organisation develop past biological determinants. IE, chimps operate in troops. Gorillas in harems. Geladas in a complex herd structure. Modern humans are (again, according to YNH) the homo subspecies with the ability to switch. That said, we're not that good at it.

For the most part, human cooperation of this epoch is defined by working tirelessly against each other in such a way that sometimes produces emergent benefits. Within

This is my thoughts as well, that the promises of AV may have grossly underestimated the problem space. Solving the problem of perception does not equate to solving the problems of driving.

Maybe we can make plagiarism a non- issue.

Of course, everyone builds on the work of others. The problem with plagiarism is that an author builds on the work of others without citing.

However, with computers and the data we have, I think we are pretty close to the point where a computer program could quickly do similarity searches and automatically generate all the citations.

A lot of this technology already exists with plagiarism detectors which can detect uncited sources. We just have to make it add those sources as citation.

It could kind of be like auto format for scientific papers. The analogy would be like instead of getting into a discussion about formatting and tabs vs spaces on every pull request, we just have an auto format that runs for every pull request, and removes that contention

We might be able to do the same with citations and make plagiarism a thing of the past.
This is the current most promising solution, yes. But it remains a promising solution rather than a proven solution at this point. We've seen a variety of attempts to solve this problem over time and we've largely moved from one to the other without truly landing them. I'm not saying that there won't be a solution. Only that there needs to be a solution.

I used to like Postman until it locked me out of my locally-stored data while I was offline (testing my own applications on localhost) for an extended period , I found out that it phones home constantly (cannot be disabled) & locks you out if it fails. The developers stating they had no intention of changing this for "security reasons" before closing the Github issue sealed the deal.

As a hobbyist song writer I think about this subject often. There's also "accidental plagiarism". There are tens if not hundreds of millions of songs out there with melodies composed of only 12 distinct tones. And there's no way to check if that melody you just came up with doesn't exist already. In fact, chances are it does.

Paul Mccartney said during one interview that when he wrote the melody of "Yesterday", he wasn't sure if it was his or he overheard it somewhere, so he spent 2 weeks playing it to various people. Consider the fact that Yesterday's melody is fairly elaborate and it was the 60s. Tens of millions of songs were written since. The conventional 3 minute song format simply ran out of melodies. So either songs need to adopt more complex approach of Bohemian Rhapsody (unlikely) or plagiarism is absolutely inevitable.
I've seen some comments comparing the recent r/antiwork mod on Fox fiasco to how well spoken and prepared DFV was defending himself in front of congress. The guy knew his stuff and it puts into perspective how bad things could have turned had he not known how to handle his sudden media presence.
How would the browser be able to enforce what the Actual server does with the data? This would work only for those binary track everything/don't track anything scenarios. Those are rare cases. What the the majority of us want and the whole purpose of the GDPR is, is the "informed consent" part. A detailed list of what information is gathered and how it is going to be used. A browser can not really enforce "I give you consent to use my data for "Use-case" in this site but don't use it for advertising or sell it". And since the potential uses are thousands, a generic form can not be used as a real consent form. The only way is the planned way. Every site/App Declares what/how they are using the collected data and take legal responsibility in case of infraction.

Because he starts selling before he tells this group.

People who spend $250/month are going to be convinced that the “buy” and “sell” recommendations are now valuable because they literally spent money on them, and therefore will follow them more closely.
> I never understood why a free-fall from space with a parachute would not work.

It depends what you mean by "from space". The ISS is in space and also _in orbit_, so is moving laterally at about 17,500 mph / 28,000 km/h / 7777 m/s / Mach 22 (1)

It's not just about falling, it's about the heat and stress of hitting the air when moving sideways at nearly 8 kilometres per second.

The "sub-orbital hop" scenario that Bezos and Branson do involves technically "falling from space" but is very different as they're not moving sideways.

Python with a Jupyter notebook is a very solid REPL development environment:

- Prototype code in Jupyter. Write first as a few lines of code per cell. Then merge into functions. Focus is on 5-10 cells becoming a single function.

- When working, copy the functions back into the main Python file.

- Periodically reimport the main Python file back into Jupyter and recalc the cells currently in scope.

- Repeat...

- The main Python file ends up mostly like an API. And the Jupyter notebook as docs on how to call that API.
Yeah, no kidding, and I'm surprised I haven't seen them talked about much on the internet...for a complete outsider, they're completely insane and nonsensical.
