>It doesn't do you or anyone else any good to be militantly skeptical

To be fair it's a pretty popular meme, almost as popular as "facebook app is listening to you", despite having zero proof behind it. I'd be pretty annoyed if such unproven claims regularly show up in every hn thread about smart TVs.
I agree they likely have no knowledge or concept of privacy, but just wanted to point out:

> astonished if they could somehow deduce that the device is actually sending invisible rays that contain information about their whereabouts

The fact that the victim is unaware does not excuse the crime!
> Does a connected device have internet access? They'll try to use that (data over HDMI is available up to 48Gbit/s).

Ethernet over HDMI is exceedingly rare and would require the STB you trust to do that. Which none of them do.

> There's also the possibility (though probably lower) that the device will come with its own 4G modem.

Which they don't currently, and since margins on TVs are razer thin seems extraordinary unlikely to ever happen. Not when 95% of people are happy connecting their smart TV to the Internet anyway.

But also trivially checked by a teardown, and if it ever happens trivially defeated with a faraday cage or just disconnecting the antenna

Pew research suggests a rising number of students are from impoverished backgrounds (around 20% of undergrads who are still dependents, and 42% of undergrads who are independent). https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2019/05/22/a-risin...

This may be expected given policies of the previous several decades seeking out minority students and the correlation in the US between minority membership and poverty (though there's certainly correlation / causation concerns with an assumption like that).
The answer to the question 'Is there anything I can do?' in our society is almost always 'You can get a specialized lawyer'

Sometimes just writing an email that is obviously written by/with legal counsel speeds things up immensely, in my experience.

I'm not qualified to give legal advice, but my life advice is: get legal advice if you can afford it.
Did you read the article. The debate is whether the software can be the copyright or if it has to be a person / artist that stands behind the work.
I don't think it is quite the same and I don't have any hard data to point to, but it seems players are being judged by the number of game speed minutes on their legs more than they have in the past. IE, a 26 year old who has been playing since he was 19 might be a star, but will not be worth as much as a he might have been 10 years ago when it was assumed he was just entering his prime.
Good discussion around the topic with Daryl Morey who, as you linked, started that at the Huston Rockets. I know absolutely nothing about basketball and found it very interesting, nevertheless.

People who say things like they don't, "kiss your ass" and then use dismissive terms like "kiddo" and "buttercup" is very typically cover when they can't admit they're just being crass and self-centered. Any moment now, I fully expect you to inform us that you merely "tell it like it is" or something equally tedious. I've seen this pattern so many times throughout the decades. You should carefully consider the possibility that you are indeed being a jerk (and we're all jerks at least occasionally).
Companies lie and don't even follow their own policies, screwing over the workers (you could also apply this to the "justice" system, and many others). A good start would be a union to enforce the policies consistently and right the imbalance of power.

I have an LLC for largely non-tech work. Tech work is terrible in my market, so I don't think I'd do well enough to support myself. Not to mention, the tech I spent time building expertise in for the company was obscure, so I do think even have any real expertise now.
Absolutely. I should be able to easily turn off the data on my kid's phone, so they can't just circumvent me blocking the Wifi for them at certain times. Maybe I'm fine with the kid using their phone, but don't want them to be doom scrolling reddit.
I use it in production for a complex app that has tens of thousands of users hit it a day, and it's used by at least Twitter, Flipkart, Uber, and Major League Soccer.

It's a really nice React library, I go to it even for web only apps. The CSS-in-JS engine meets all the expected performance features like atomic css.

Do you have any notable examples of a Flutter web app being used in production? I assume not because of accessibility isn't ready, along with the many other issues.
> I personally would want more content along the lines of showing what random projects people are working on

YES. Anyone know of a good place for this?
I don't think this is the core problem, that would have been to build a nuclear reactor so close to a major city, that you could run a pipe to it.
How Debt Jubilees Work
They didn't use JavaScript / TypeScript because of AOT requirements on iOS (Flutter actually was originally prototyped with JS as the language). Dart was mostly chosen for its runtime, which allows both Hot reload at dev time, as well as full AOT compilation to get native speed on iOS. React Native runs a JS interpreter to get around this on iOS and as a result is an order of magnitude+ slower
Title seems to be inaccurate, pipeline is not cancelled, it’s shelved.

You are like those government, forcing some BS like sopa/pipa/etc. Of course, helmet promoting always gets much of upvotes online - but isn't it so hard to open your eyes for looking some cons, not only pros?
Ha ha haha - EXACTLY to the last dot!

I am terrified of where we are headed as a society. I get that writing blogs are more time consuming than tweeting but for the consumer - is this content really valuable in the long term?
This isn't Twitter.
I hope people don't see this as spam (especially since in the past I've talked a lot about this), but I've started Mobile Jazz (my first company) specifically because I wanted to created a place where I and others feel happy. A place where increasing revenue and profit to the extreme is not the focus, but employee happiness is. We call it "Optimizing for Happiness".

We've written a lot about it in our company handbook https://mobilejazz.com/company-handbook-pdf/ (free to download, no email required) and you can find more stories and details on our blog if interested.

COVID has made things more difficult, especially since pre-COVID we did a lot of events together (skiing, surfing, hiking, co-living, workations, etc.) and not meeting up has definitely harmed our sense of belonging and purpose. So we're very much looking forward to having events again this year.

Basically what I wanted to say: People are currently jumping around a lot in their jobs, looking for the highest salaries and finding a purpose and a place they belong. We somehow have managed, despite not being able to match Silicon Valley salaries, to have a really good team of loyal, friendly and kind humans that gives me joy to get up every single day and to work with them. And with most of them it's similar, since many of those people have been staying with us since they've joined us. Despite getting better offers (financially speaking) every day.
They make/made a 75" TV as well.
The worst thing you could do
Screen time on Apple devices. Mine hasn’t figured out how to get around that or if he has he’s doing a good enough job at school I’ll overlook it.

One of those things is not the same as the others.
Well no. Maybe $100 million usd, except that it's almost all untouchable, either abandoned at an exchange or tainted on a public ledger.

The culprit possibly extracted up to 11 million, but all the rest of the crypto stash is toxic. And now he's gonna have to talk to some nice men with badges, if someone gets interested in a token crypto criminal takedown.
I could solve one of these in about 15-20 seconds but more than one would suck. I don’t know if it’s any worse than the cat box h captcha though
Ah, you were talking about Ukraine specifically, not dislocating your troops in other countries, where the local population doesn't want you, 'cause you have the upper hand. My bad.
I can imagine someone slipping and breaking their neck if I don't shovel my sidewalk as required by the city.

I think its more like purposefully icing your sidewalk or driveway to make it harder for salesmen/canvassers/etc to make it to your door.

1. All justifications I have read for these sorts of laws list both emergency services and daily services in the very first sentence of justification.

2. The current discussion is about what the law should be, not how it is; there are lots of stuff (e.g., laws combating terrorism) that are poorly justified using appeals to rare events.

That worked great for OP.
I have expressed this same sentiment to some friends who use Twitter. I don't know how much they use Twitter, but they seem to have the hang of it. The general consensus has been that to use Twitter effectively, you have to only follow accounts that are informative (a friend of mine follows obscure linguistic stuff) and be brutal about unfollowing people that aren't providing value. I also know that there are blocklists and ways to in general tame the rowdiness.

It seems like sound advice. I tried it, but Twitter still didn't "stick" for me. Primarily I did not find curating my own experience to be work I enjoyed doing, and it certainly did not net me a return that justified the investment of my time or mental energy. So I stick to re-directing individual tweets to nitter.net.
There are still some points in your explanation of data races that are not entirely correct (partly a matter of definitions).

A data race occurs when two memory accesses race, and at least one of them is a write. In C/C++, data races using non-atomic accessed are undefined behavior, and that's why those can be very bad and you definitely want to avoid those.

You can also have a data race using atomic accesses, but there the behavior (ignoring some of the issues with the C/C++ memory model) is well-defined, and therefore it is not by definition incorrect.

I would say that the Python code in the post does have a data race (since it has unsynchronized accesses to a variable, and at least one is a write). But the behavior of that code is still precisely defined (though non-deterministic), since Python just guarantees that you will see some interleaving of the individual atomic steps of each of the threads due to the GIL). Hence the data race in Python is not undefined behavior as in C/C++, and hence it does not have the same negative connotations. Basically, Python variable accesses behave like sequentially consistent atomic reads/writes in C/C++.

Note that data races in C/C++ being undefined behavior is in large part due to compiler optimizations and preventing accesses from being reordered by the compiler or the CPU. If you're working with 32-bit (or 64-bit) cacheline aligned memory accesses, then "clobbering" or "tearing" of memory accesses is not likely to be affect you, but your code can still be broken by reordering in the compiler or the CPU (either due to instruction reordering or caches/bus communication). Hence if you have a data race on say an int variable, you probably will never see 65536 there if you didn't write that value there, but you might see older/newer values than you would expect.

Still trackable through the IMEI number unfortunately. Faraday cages are the only answer.
The sprawling conversation graph inevitably leads from something constructive and light to something that fosters outrage. One of the things I like about TikTok is how much friction there is against getting too deep in the outrage zone, since discussion threads are bound to a video post.
The summary here is that people don't know what they want.

They have overly simplistic ideas of what they want.

There are ways to take greater control, or to more quickly concede that there is no control if the sacrifices are not tolerable, to you.
>It is the ultimate self-validation: you actually don't care about dialog, just monologue.

Very true. Even Twitter replies are often like a "dialog" of monologues.
I’d argue that the local populations are largely very happy with US presence in Europe. I know they’re very popular in Romania, being big spenders.

Outside of Europe the US has obviously been up to a bunch of nasty shit, but I think we are talking about European decisionmaking here.
For what it's worth, there are companies who walk the walk, I've been lucky enough to work for a couple. However, I think they are almost always smaller companies.
100% This. I've got a smart TV (Android TV). Once a year or so I plug in an Ethernet to check for updates. Otherwise everything is done via an Apple TV.
My experience is totally different. The company I've worked for for the last 20 years has always done the right thing by me. They allowed me to work from my home country for half a year when I needed to be with my family, they paid to move me to yet another country when my team was made redundant so I could do the job I really wanted.

And I really love learning obscure tech :) always have.

Some companies really are better than others. But tbh it's more the people you work for directly that matter. They're the ones with the capability to shield you from the worst crap. That fight for you with HR when your job is on the line. When I look for other teams to move to I always take the management into account too. They may not stick around forever but if you have a good relationship they might bring you with them anyway.

When I do an interview I always ask to see the workplace. Just to get a feel for the place I'll be spending my days. It's usually viewed as a very peculiar request when applying externally but usually granted. I've rejected a job once because the team really looked burned out and literally stuffed in a corner.

Another place I was shown looked amazing and fun. I still work for that company today.
Hi rpwilcox, Keypoints dev here.

Keypoints is similar to Highlights App in that it extracts your PDF highlights into Markdown. That said, there are more differences between those two apps than similarities. I've outlined the major differences at [0].

Most importantly, Keypoints stores each highlight as an individual (Multi)Markdown note, so you can filter/gather them freely and independent of its source context. However, each note is self-contained and keeps its context (i.e. to which PDF / publication it belongs), and selecting a note opens again the exact PDF location containing the original highlight annotation.

Each highlight note can have metadata (like tags, labels or citekeys) that can be clicked to filter by these elements. You can cross-link your notes (incl. link types [1]) and your network of notes gets dynamically visualized (the graph can also be used for navigation).

In addition, Keypoints parses recognized elements from the plaintext notes and exposes them as data model properties via scripting (see an example: [2]). This will allow for fine-grained integrations with other apps.

See [3] for some more info about the app.

How Law Enforcement Tracks Cellular Phones (2013)
I've always wanted to learn to snowboard. I grew up in Houston skateboarding and some light surfing, but I only saw snow a couple of times before I was an adult, and never any type of winter sport.

Now that I'm old enough and have enough money to afford it, I'm too scared to really do any extreme sports anymore. One wrong bonk to the head and there goes everything I've worked for. I know it is probably irrational, but it feels very real to me anytime I get close to buying a lessons package.
I completely disagree. It should go yellow the second they see that there is a spike in any abnormality. This type of issue would have been obvious seconds after it occurred. They don't need to report why but they should report that something is wrong. It's not fair to say "it's not me it's you" when they definitely know it's them.
Do you have any evidence of any TV doing this, ever?
It also guarantees them exclusive access to rare earth deposits in North Korea, I thought that was also a major point. They certainly have interest in a stable NK, not a "Maybe I press the red button today" NK.
Twitter is like Reddit. Very little value in posting, decent value in a harshly curated list of people to watch/listen to.
I don't think there are any US Cities where the price of a house or condo doubled to tripled during the pandemic. There is no where in NA where the price of a house is rising at approx 2k a week, The average price of a house in Toronto is predicted to rise by 100k this year. It isn't just Toronto anymore, actually Toronto is super affordable. The prices across the province especially in areas outside of Toronto that have been historically low have sky rocketed. King Township average price is like 2.6 million.

>Does a neighbor have an open wifi? They'll use that.

AFAIK this is a rumor that lacks concrete evidence.
I still have a dumb TV, and I hope to keep it for many more years.

I wonder if "Cloudflare for families" could help? https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-1-1-1-1-for-families...
Insufficient. The phone will still contact cell towers in order to maintain communication, because even a phone without a SIM can make a 911 call.
Data is stored on servers, connected by networks, in various jurisdictions all over the world. If a company wants to operate in a jurisdiction it _must_ comply with the laws of said jurisdiction. If the company chooses not to comply the jurisdiction can impose fines, seek injunctions, pursue criminal trials, etc. That's how it works.

As a scientist I find regulatory over-reach tedious. As a citizen I find corporate illegality unjustifiable. This is not regulatory over-reach this is corporate illegality.
>learn to fall properly

Falling isn't a polite request by gravity.

Telling someone to "fall properly" is empty advice. Falls happen too fast as a beginner for them to take actions to lessen a blow. Wear protective gear. Take it slow. Expect to fall, and expect it to hurt.
> You'd be crazy to wish be born in to any other time period.

I feel like this is way too general. It really depends on as who you would have been born...
Or -16 hrs a week (made up by borrowing from sleep or other necessary time), which just isn’t sustainable.

Just curious what’s the advantage of using Ory stack, which is more work that requires you to develop the front end, rather than with Keycloak or Authentik that you just customise the front end template?
How about a tech LLC?

I didn’t get a picture of what the policies and imbalance of power is, or what it should be. I’ve seen some companies lie in varying amounts that don’t always add up to broken. What’s actually broken from your perspective? Does broken mean they’re not paying you? Or does it mean you aren’t getting promoted? Does it mean the software they produce doesn’t work, or the company doesn’t make any money?
Yeah you got me.

I didn't pay careful attention to the wording of the submitted title. I may have been confused because of the wording of the actual tweet: I tested a random selection of four NVMe SSDs from four vendors.

The word "random" meant to me that Samsung drives could have been selected twice. But, yes, then there wouldn't be four distinct vendors.

Unstated but implied by you is there are only two (major) Korean vendors to choose from.

So if Samsung is a Korean winner then Hynix must be the Korean loser. Which is now clear to me.

Is it possible there's a third (minor) Korean player? Could I possibly still have a chance? :)

What is India's approach to this challenge? Do they have something analogous to US affirmative action in universities to encourage historically lower-caste Indians to pursue higher education, or do they approach the issue another way?
I actually get a lot of mileage out of screen time for parenting. The system I've used (I say I because if it were up to my spouse, we'd have no system) is x minutes after meals, where x has increased as they've gotten older. This started as a way to get them to eat moderately healthy at regular intervals. So the weekly schedule is 3x minutes on weekend days, and 2x minutes on week days. The effect I'm going for is "put in the work, then enjoy the reward" as a general approach to life. Using screen time in this way let's me do it in a calm, non confrontational way.

This has a lot of consequences. Like they willingly get out of bed, get dressed, and eat breakfast so they can have screen time before school. After school it's finish homework, bathe, etc. In our house screen time is basically a given unless they do something to lose it. Sometimes when they argue constantly I'll say "No screen time, you can earn it back when I've heard you each say 5 nice things to the other" or something to that effect.

Our kids are accustomed to this, I've been super consistent since they were little. I do sometimes wonder if there are unforseen side effects that may be detrimental. Otherwise they seem to have done really well. Edit to add; ours don't have phones yet, I'll probably be leaning on iOS parental controls.
Usually (at least in common law countries) crimes are supposed to have an element of malicious intent.

People shouldn’t be put in prison for making honest mistakes, and laws that do that are unjust.

It is believable that he didn’t know that it would knock out the entire town’s connectivity, or that the device would extend beyond his property. He seems to be not very technically adept as he didn’t know how to use parental controls.
