A big part of their revenue was from email signups that were usually ultimately obnoxious and google couldn't really verify if a email address was legitimately signed up or slammed.

Willingly is the snag, right?

GDPR doesn’t prevent people from trading data for services, it just makes it so that companies are not allowed to assume everyone is willing to without asking.

The article seems a bit breathless to me, but I didn’t catch it saying anything about not being able to use your data. Did I miss something? it’s just pointing out that we haven’t yet made it illegal in the US for companies to use your data even when you are unwilling.

FYI the message you are responding to is a reference to this ancient copypasta:

```
The venerable master Qc Na was walking with his student, Anton. Hoping to prompt the master into a discussion, Anton said "Master, I have heard that objects are a very good thing - is this true?" Qc Na looked pityingly at his student and replied, "Foolish pupil - objects are merely a poor man's closures."

Chastised, Anton took his leave from his master and returned to his cell, intent on studying closures. He carefully read the entire "Lambda: The Ultimate..." series of papers and its cousins, and implemented a small Scheme interpreter with a closure-based object system. He learned much, and looked forward to informing his master of his progress.

On his next walk with Qc Na, Anton attempted to impress his master by saying "Master, I have diligently studied the matter, and now understand that objects are truly a poor man's closures." Qc Na responded by hitting Anton with his stick, saying "When will you learn? Closures are a poor man's object." At that moment, Anton became enlightened.

That's great to hear. We at Oxide are huge fans of the MPLv2 and it's our default license for everything; I think it's reasonable that the default expectation for CNCF is Apache 2.0, but would love for MPLv2 to also be considered a first-class license!

That's a great point. Would you consider yourself a minimalist in general? I think I'm the opposite. I'm one of those people who installs every (secure and vetted) plugin/extension/app that makes my life/work "easier." I have a ridiculous amount of vscode/intellij/obsidian plugins that I use. I'm sure if I used emacs/vim it'd be the same.

Just as an example that's super frowned upon, I install about 5-10 various packages like jq, htop, net-utils, bash, httpie, things like that into each oci container I build. I also have the exact same customized ~/.bashrc with aliases and a motd that tells me the distro and outdated packages and what not in all of the oci containers I build. Also a custom ~/.nanorc with syntax highlighting so I don't have to constantly write nano -l (everyone will hate me for using nano, I know).

I have to troubleshoot containers a lot. This example I'm posting here went from a 150Mb container to 203 with my "debug" packages. And each time I exec into one I get a nice little motd that makes fixing things so much faster for me. A 203Mb container has absolutely no effect on my autoscaling infrastructure. We watch for anomalies and immediately scale up and have the oci images cached on the clusters. I used to make these little 30mb scratch go containers that had literally nothing but the app. It was so annoying having to troubleshoot them and the benefit seemed so not worth it. Not having bash installed is absolutely horrendous. Being forced to use sh. I can't use arrow keys to move the cursor or up and down to go through history. I think ctrl-r doesnt even work.

I would get absolutely screamed at by the greybeard genius nix admins I used to work with. But I make the infra standards now.. Package attack vectors are definitely a concern. My containers go through a rigorous security test while being built.

But those space pens are available to civilians now. In plastic disposable versions for a few bucks(uniball power tank).

They are the only pens I know that stand up to modern use where you might only touch them once a week or less. Now they exist, and probably will be available indefinitely, and cheaply, and the problem of pens that just work anywhere is basically solved.

"The critical temperature beyond which photosynthetic machinery in tropical trees begins to fail averages approximately 46.7 °C"

I know the tropics are hot, but the idea of accepting ~45c as "average" sounds insane.
This is good data, but I think "approaching" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this title - more than is supported by the abstract:

>>> Using an empirical model incorporating these dynamics (validated with warming experiment data), we found that tropical forests can withstand up to a 3.9 ± 0.5 °C increase in air temperatures before a potential tipping point in metabolic function, but remaining uncertainty in the plasticity and range of Tcrit in tropical trees and the effect of leaf death on tree death could drastically change this prediction.

3.9 ± 0.5 °C is a lot of runway; likely moreso than we have with other ecosystems. This isn't good by any means, but significantly less dire than other threats.
Interesting, what about it makes you sleep better?
It actually has, that sense of obligation is me, since I am the universe
I presume that's sarcasm, since the book said collapse would occur by 2011.

On the other hand, a failed prediction in a book 22 years ago doesn't mean that China is in no trouble today.

Its less setting a new desktop theme, and more maintaining compatibility with a Desktop Environment. Ghost BSD is significant because it is the "easy way" to get BSD working on computers. FreeBSD by itself is about like setting up Arch Linux. Same with most versions of BSD. If you know what you are doing you can get something set up, but if you don't care for needing to set everything up yourself, a distro like GhostBSD is invaluable.

The article says that the intertie has one +500Kv line and one -500Kv line. So why does current need to travel via earth? I would think the DC current flows in a loop via the two conductor lines.
In the case of my grandma, she actually lives in a farm, she gets the water from a well in there (yes, the type of well with bailer bucket!), but probably for everyone else including myself, yes, that water is going through all that plastic pipes including all these forever chemicals and what not.
Some scenarios are outside of a person's control. A large well armed group lay siege and take your stuff. No rain for 7 years. A simple scrape or bad water, one season with crop failures. These all will kill, regardless of skill.

Personally I would equate this to one of the most comforting aspects to believing in God, that it's not just some meaningless random luck of the draw but instead there was agency somewhere. War stories are often similar, the new recruits think that they are special and their skill and strength will keep them alive. They then learn it is dumb luck who lives and dies, just luck whether that bullet, shrapnel, or artillery shell misses you or not
my pragmatic view is that it should be false.

A common error would be a programming mistake in the selection of the list element return an empty list. The returned list would, unexpectedly, comes empty. Trying to check if everything is black would return True and the code would follow on. It would be very hard to debug

> Except for the part where basically a few players will have a monopoly on online advertising.

Not being in the ad industry, this seems a lateral change to me. I can see how it would be problematic to others in the industry, though.

> How so? There are infinitely more privacy rules and safeguards than there were a decade ago.

The online ad industry has poured enormous amounts of time, money, effort, and even lobbying to bypass efforts from end users to prevent being tracked. And that effort continues.

There are more privacy rules and tools than before, but that's just because of the back-and-forth nature of the battle. Sometimes privacy edges ahead, then the ad companies push the gains back or route around them, then privacy edges ahead, etc.

> Within our lifetimes, books with every person in town's name, number, and address used to be delivered to everyone's home.

I'm old enough to remember phone books. And I remember that people who didn't want to be listed, or only wanted limited information in them, had that option. Those books never had every person's information. They were, in modern parlance, opt-out (although you did have to pay a fee to be omitted, which was considered outrageous in the day, but there wasn't a way around that.)

We definitely have federal privacy laws. They are inadequate, but that the survey asked if they exist, not if they are sufficient.

I don't see OP talking about 'loving people'. Just stating that a very good approach was taken. Wrt 'give us things', it is not about giving either (that's like free beer), but about freedom. If OpenTF indeed ends up under Linux Foundation / CNCF it doesn't matter how many competitors are involved, but that freedoms are assured.

Think of columnar data as being run-length compressed.

(If you have 100 rows of "1 Fizz" followed by 200 rows of "1 Buzz", followed by one "1 Fizz" you can store that as "100:1:Fizz;200:1:Buzz;1:1:Fizz".)

Then, a mere 30 bytes of IO + a quick sum tells you that you sold 101 Fizz and 200 Buzz from the widget factory this quarter. Maybe the first Fizz is how many you sold in the USA and the second Fizz is how many you sold in Canada, so it becomes easy to do by-region reporting.

However, unpacking the column that has all your individual transaction IDs and linking it to the individual single sale of one Fizz takes a lot of lookups. So untangling individual transactions becomes slow (though not impossible).

How could they both have the same answer? They must have opposite answers because of De Morgan's law: asking "is any item true" is the same as asking "are NOT all items NOT true"
More money in the system drives inequality if fundamental necessities like shelter supply remain artificially choked by people with even more money as they simply buy up and out-bid as much as possible. If that weren't the case, I'd agree. Even as I a software person gradually make more money when I'm not in a perpetual cycle of working and being laid off, a tiny condo already being out of reach is only going to get dramatically more out of reach if salaries rise while most of an arbitrary city's development rate is beleaguered by boomers, arduous bureaucracy, investors, and people with their boomer parent's money willing to spend it, knowing it'll always increase.

Not that people shouldn't fight to be paid more, just that it has limited effect unless you happen to get paid significantly more than everyone else compared to what things cost now, and hope that continues forever.
There's no treatment about any "complex history of the design of all()" though. The article is a bunch of nattering about philosophical semantics.

And I'm saying that's just plain dumb. This is an engineering discipline. If there's a "why", then the author of the code is the resource, not (sigh) philosophers. Go ask Guido, or check the commit messages. Don't ask Aristotle, he can't hack.

And the proof (that's right, proof) that I'm right is this: imagine Guido (or whoever) had indeed chosen the opposite convention for all(). It's easy to imagine. And it's equally easy to imagine people getting confused about it and asking about it. And you could reply with exactly this same article trying to explain the "why" behind it as part of two traditions of philosophy.

That's right: the same words explain the opposite convention too. That's not an explanation for "why", is it? This whole discussion is QUITE LITERALLY providing zero insight into the question you're imagining it's answering! It's like asking someone "Why did you paint your house blue?", and them answering "Well, you see, I could have painted it blue, or red."
The problem is as this article points out is democratically elected courts should not be choosing winners in a capitalistic competition

Calvin and Hobbes was cynical, it's main characters are named for a religious brimstoner and cynical philosopher. Part of its appeal to children, beyond the general creativity of the strip, is, that it was cynical. Children can be very aware and it's often disregarded by most childrens stories. But, that cynicalness can verge from reasonable to depressive. And depressiveness can be a deathknell for continuing.

As I get older, some of the jokes and commentary age to that of coming from a younger person who still is grappling with the world, unaware of the commentary that could be said in ernest against it. The self reflection is mostly done via Hobbes, and sometimes he is not enough, too much in agreement. Luckily, it mostly never verges on insulting, but it's introductory to the issues he attempts to grapple with. As a reflection of a young child it will work forever, but as a reflection of Watterson, it shows a stall in development. Instead of accepting the world or at least challenging his initial revulsion, I worry he retreated and became a hermit out of depression.
Speaking as a former journalist, I would say:

It's the job of reporters to do more than explore a question. Their job is to surface new and useful information for readers, and then prioritize it. And the job of the headline is to telegraph to readers what that information may be, reflecting their priorities.

It is a sign of a failed process of reporting if one can do no more than explore a question, and present a collection of dead ends.

If the reporter can't name the oldest language, then she might write a piece focused on why it's so hard to determine which language is oldest.

Or she might tell the story of how nationalism drives scholars of Chinese, Sanskrit and Tamil to stake the claims they do. There are probably several great stories there.

That is, part of the process of reporting is framing a question that can be answered in a way that allows her to present new and relevant information.

The reporter of this piece, and her editors, did not meet that standard.
I find when you talk about digital privacy here you get one of two responses, "why do you care?" or "why does it matter if you have nothing to hide?". Perhaps the only exception to this is if it's related Google or Facebook tracking cookies, or perhaps if it's related to something someone shared publicly on Facebook and it turned out to in fact be public. "How dare Facebook sell information [I willing provided them with] to other companies for profit!".

Apart from niche online communities no one gives a damn about privacy here. These stories don't get reported on by the BBC or any mainstream media outlet in the UK. The only people who care are those not from the UK (like people on HN) or the odd privacy centric community / organisation within the UK.

None of our major political parties give a damn about privacy, and both labour and tories dislike privacy for different reasons. It really is hopeless. It's nice to vent about it on here with people who care every once in a while though.
I’m confused, do you prefer chronological feeds from friends and family or not?

GP is saying that feeds driven by friends and family would be an improvement to their products, and new EU law will drive that behaviour by making it hard for companies like Facebook to indiscriminately force black box recommendation algorithms on people.

Isn’t that exactly what you say you want? And thus you agree with this statement

that is exactly the attitude the UK government has been trying to cultivate for the past 3 decades
I gave up caffeine (tapered off to one cup, was at 6 cups a day and I’m a small human) and I almost immediately noticed my anxiety levels cut by 75%. In terms of sleep, I didn’t notice a huge difference, but I also am not good about setting a calming routine before bed. If caffeine is playing a large role in your insomnia you should feel more able to fall asleep quite quickly . Caffeine can greatly increase cortisol levels and sometimes that can take some time to come down
