- Facebook

Everyone uses it and there is peer pressure for you to have it. Everyone talks about deleting their account but never does. I rarely use the website or the app but I use Messenger everyday to talk with foreign friends (mostly in the US)

- Twitter

Used to have an account a few years ago, but it just wasn't my thing. Extremely popular though its ux seems to have dropped a lot

- Snapchat

Not really a thing, most people I know barely know it exists. Used it for a while a year ago but it was a fad for me.

- Tumblr

Not really a thing anymore for me, but it seems to be really popular for people between 12-16

- Instagram

I might be the minority here but I mainly use it for photography. Has replaced Flickr and Tumblr for me

- Whatsapp

#1. SMS charges were too expensive until a few years ago so it exploded (I think we are the biggest market in europe now, so you might guess where I'm from). Biggest downside is the lack of group control, you can get added to any group without your permission and it is 'poor form' to leave. I have a couple of them on mute and rarely read them.

- Telegram

Seems to be gaining some use since Whatsapp got acquired by Facebook though I personally don't use it. Seems redundant to have two IM apps when everyone is on Whatsapp anyway
Those are all aspects of his acts, and the acts of the Islamic State as well. You can't separate religion cleanly from traditionalism for example, because religion is to a large part tradition - it is not a coincidence that sons commonly have the religion of their fathers. The acts of Breivik definitely have a religious component. He dresses like a Knight Templar, he speaks of a crusade, these are all religious in nature.
I see, when it comes down to the jurisdiction of the US the exceptions are clear enough. I see that Charlie Hebdo would have been in a lot of legal trouble if they were based on the US then. I don't know why I've tought that the law would be very similar in most of the world but it isn't, or apparently in France they were allowed to stay in business (although for what I've been reading they had been fined a few times regarding issues that violate the scope of freedom of speech).
this is kind of like suggesting that an old phone booth is convenient for noise isolation.
So, I have been a heroin user (addict) for a long time, about fifteen years. I have a great job, as a senior engineer in a start-up, and have worked almost continually in IT while maintianing my habit. I've tried to quit, several times, and found it incredibly hard.

As the article sugests, a change of scenery really does help, though. So, when I've been working overseas, or travelling to speak at conferences, then I find it's much easier to stop. I would take some methadone with me, and wean myself gradually off using it, over only a week or two.

I have actually done this several times, and found that after a month I am essentially clean. However, when I return home I have always relapsed, usually pretty quickly. This is something I currently have a huge problem with, and I don't really know how to solve it ;( I'm trying to stop again, and wonderining if maybe a change of location would be the right way to do this properly?

They made their own push notification server with an Affero GPL license (which means even server operators have to release source that they change), and as such I would not consider proprietary. Email is not a push channel in either IMAP or POP3.

No it's not. It's strength training for your ability to direct your attention. Sleep is the garbage collection.
I would argue that if introspection has such harmful side effects for a person that means the person's mental state was already in an artificial and damaged state.

I think in most cases it is better to begin that introspection process and endure some temporary pain in order to work through the root issue rather than trying to put it off by avoiding it.

In other words, avoiding introspection won't solve the problem.
Well since you are asking about typing it in google. I actually did. Here is what comes as an answer from the muslim side[1]:

A member on my blog, brother "zulfiqarchucknorris", sent me the following information:

Peace
Dear Osama Abdullah
I would like to inform you that on the many articles about the "poet killings" (specifically asma bint marwan) you fail to to include why the asma bint marwan chain for ibn saad is weak, although the ibn ishaq version is fully explained. I'll give you the explanasion:

(copied from wikipedia, scroll toward the middle of the page)

Al-Albani declared Ibn Sa'd's chain of transmission to be weak as well, as it includes Al-Waqidi:[2]

Ibn Sa'd → Al-Waqidi → 'Abd Allah ibn al-Harith ibn al-Fudayl → Al-Harith ibn al-Fudayl

Al-Waqidi has been condemned as an untrustworthy narrator and has been frequently and severely criticized by scholars, thus his narrations have been abandoned by the majority of hadith scholars.[3] Yahya ibn Ma'een said: "Al-Waqidi narrated 20,000 false hadith about the prophet". Al-Shafi'i, Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Al-Albani[2] said: "Al-Waqidi is a liar" while Al-Bukhari said he didn't include a single letter by Al-Waqidi in his hadith works.

In addition, this isnad is discontinued (muʻḍal) as Al-Harith ibn al-Fudayl never met any of Muhammad's companions.[3]

2 is al waqidi
3 is ibn hisham

Copy pasting doesn't help anyone. I'd rather have it that you go to someone who is an expert on this field, do your research and ask him/her what's bugging you.
This may be true at an emotional level, but there is a fairly unambiguous criteria for adulthood, which comes when you are able to sustain your life and perhaps the life of a family.
lol, well consider that against your comment at the top of this thread - none of this is logically consistent.
Taming Asynchronous JavaScript with Async.js

Can't you just have a limited part of the game for free and the rest as IAP ?
Some mobile games like Reaper (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hexage.rea...) implement payment that way and it seems like a very good compromise to me.
The only missing part is that Google Play does have a badge for this kind of game, only the classic IAP one.
1 and 2 are platitudes devoid of content. 3 is a bold claim but doesn't pan out in practice: live programming is creating to changes in code and state, making changes go away only eliminates the problem by eliminating the experience (see [1]).

The Last of Us Remastered Gameplay Part 8 – Dwidi Video
Yes, "let" is better than "var". I could also have used a fat arrow in the forEach(). But my point was to list iteration variations, so outside of that I wrote traditional ES5.

This illustrates the issue though. "var" is like "let" but without block scoping, so you should almost never use "var", but it's still there to trip newcomers. The fat arrow is like the "function" keyword and most of the time you can use them interchangeably, but if you rely on "this" they're not interchangeable anymore.

This growing laundry list isn't exactly thrilling. I'm glad to have map(), filter(), every() and friends, though.
Do we know how long ago this was put in place? I installed tor browser maybe 6 or 8 years ago, used it for an afternoon, then never again.

Was I made a collection subject then? Am I still a collection subject? If so, how can I petition the government for redress of this obvious violation of my civil rights?
> Every time I dig into Xerox PARC documents, I discover new things, specially how we are still catching up with those environments.

In fairness however us young people are still catching up on others' catching up on said environments. :)
Funny that this is listed below this article "What Heroin Addiction Tells Us About Changing Bad Habits"
My feeling when it comes to addiction is that it becomes a comforting or at least comfortable thing.

When we feel stress, we tend to act irrationally, in a way that comforts us or puts us into a more comfortable situation. If someone is irritating you, you yell at them, not because yelling initially comforts you, but because when you yell at them, maybe they go away. That behavior though starts to change your perception, and soon just yelling at people on its own starts to make you feel more comfortable. Even if yelling at people doesn't make them go away or reduce your stress, you're not acting rationally, your brain is basically taking the shortcut to what it has learned long ago will make it go away.

Drug addiction works similarly, except especially with something like heroin, it gets special teeth. You stop, and not only does stress trigger your compulsion to seek that comfort, even if you're not otherwise feeling stress, you now start to feel pain, or fear feeling pain from withdrawal symptoms.

The article talks about changing environments, and I absolutely agree, but I think a big thing that's overlooked is that these people have been taken out of one of the most horrible warzones, and brought back home. There's a big relief of stress from that. Adding back the fact that you're no longer around the people who used, the places you got your drugs, and the things that made you think about wanting to do it definitely helps. But if you come back to a more or less safe and stable life from being in a hellish situation, you would be less driven to take it up again.

On the other hand, had they transferred you to a different unit in Afghanistan instead of sending you home, even if you lost all of those environmental cues, I bet you would see more relapse just because you're in a highly stressful situation.

Congratulations on getting clean. I agree there's no excuse, but I also don't think you need to worry about whether there is an excuse. Stressful situations like you had to endure do make it more likely. It happened to you. It's a cycle that is hard to break. You got help and managed to break it. The fact that you became addicted isn't a failing, it's just an incident. It's more like you can say "I saw that side of the world, and I have to be careful to stay away from it." instead of being naive and thinking it couldn't happen to you.

It's a part of your life now. It's not good or bad, but you've seen a part of how our mind works that some other people haven't, and maybe hope they never have to.
In my niche, there are 2 legit SaaS providers.

-One charges $85/month, has decent support but a disliked and old product.

-The other charges $60/month, has poor support and a very slow product (~30 sec. page load time)

I knew that I had a superior product (months of real-world testing) and that our business wanted to make support a priority.

In the end, we priced at $100/mo or $1000/yr. It's higher than everyone else which implies a better product (kinda). I haven't run into sticker shock yet for anyone with an existing business.

We're planning on raising the price >20% for new customers within 6 months.
You could build a custom jQuery copy that eliminated whatever methods you don't need. Since plugins use unknown parts of jQuery and Closure Compiler can't always detect that, you really need to do some manual labor to pull in what you need.

In the 1.8 time frame the jQuery devs made a call for people who wanted to use Closure Compiler's ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS to participate, but just didn't get any community interest. CCAO style is not typical JavaScript and it doesn't seem that a lot of people use it.

Sure thing, I'll illustrate point by point.

1. Public Statements, reason for this is that many people have tried to publish various forms of malware, and then when apple rejected the app, they cried fowl and pretended like Apple was being unreasonable in its reviews. In fact, this is the PRIMARY reason that people think that Apple is strict in what it will let in the App Store. EFF is misrepresenting what the agreement says here, putting spin on it.

Revers Engineering-- The claim that this covers legal reverse engineering is created from whole cloth by the EFF, the section does not refer to types of reverse engineering, merely protects apples rights regarding such. Thus EFF is straight up lying.

App Store Only: Apple provides the SDK for free, and part of the deal is that it is to be used for deploying apps for iOS on the app store only. (This is not the case with the Mac SDK) Charactersizing Lydia as a "competing app store" is straight up dishonest. IT requires jailbreaking devices, which results in greatly reduced reliability and is bad for consumers, opening them up to malware, yet the EFF is effectively endorsing exposing consumers to malware here.

"No Tinkering" - Obviously, Apple doesn't want people circumventing their protections against malware and getting malware past the review process.

"Apple owns security" -- A profoundly dishonest comment given that Apple has done so much to protect security that a governor is trying to get a law passed that will let the government snoop again. The EFF apparently doesn't care about his, but uses the fact that you can't use a security bug claim to circumnavigate the review process to pretend like Apple leaves people exposed. Another straight up lie.

Kill your App-- yes, if malware gets in there, it can be shut down. Ignoring the reasoning for this puts a hard, dishonest spin, in fact as far as I'm concerned, makes it a lie.

This is also true of google's store. So, given that the EFF is publishing on android, they obviously don't care about this too much... yet they put it in here to bash Apple, making them both hypocrites and liars.

" and we certainly will not wrap our app in DRM."

DRM that signs the app to prevent it from being tampered with, which keeps the users data secure.

So the EFF here is rejecting keeping users data secure.

They care more about grandstanding than integrity and protecting consumers.
Ask HN: How to deal with reading list overload?
This is getting ridiculous. For every 10 new things I'm interested in, I finish maybe half of one. My Pocket & Kindle accounts are filling up without any chance of slowing down! Anything I can do about it (as opposed to becoming disciplined.. it's tough to not get distracted), or is this just the way things are?
I don't know enough about Android technically to tell whether this is true, but the blog post is complaining specifically about restrictions on reverse engineering the SDK.

Another bullet point is about restrictions on jailbreaking; while this is certainly highly onerous and I don't think Google has an equivalent clause, it's worth noting that Google's ban on reverse engineering the Play Store and apps distributed by it (as opposed to the SDK itself) includes activities that, translated to Apple terms, are fairly important to jailbreaking. (In particular, many App Store apps refuse to run on jailbroken devices, and must be reverse engineered to identify how to bypass this check. I don't know what the situation is on Android, but I would be surprised if that clause wasn't rouinely ignored.)
The most important and significant challenge faced by intellectuals in the twenty-first century, according to this essay, is to fully comprehend the individual and societal implications of technology.
Perhaps I should have said that the quality is uniform for a particular price point.
You can call it DRM but what it really is, is security. Apps are signed, preventing the running of unauthorized code, which keeps malware off the platform.

If google really doesn't have this, then it's a shame, but it would explain why there's so much malware on android.

EFF's position across this article is supporting malware, and preventing malware is the clear cause and reasons for all the things the EFF opposes.
Docsis 3.1 is not using FQ, but the pie AQM. And it hasn't shipped yet.

In the interim, fq_codel (which combines fq and aqm) now dominates the field of 3rd party firmware and home routers. It turns out that FQ nor AQM are computationally intense anymore, but software rate limiting, is.
>the issue is that many earbuds don't seal the ear canal very well

For those wondering which earbuds do provide decent isolation, there are, as you stated, the pretty expensive "in-ear-monitors", but you can also go for cheaper earbuds based on isolating memory foam like the JVC marshmallows, which are pretty cheap and provide decent isolation.

We're currently in 14 states and Ontario. I have lofty international dreams, though :).

According to IBIS, there are ~11,000 dog kennels and daycares in the US alone. Self-performed research indicates ~12,000 similar facilities in Canada/UK/Australia.

I've looked into the veterinary world and beta tested our product at one practice. Turns out, there's tons of stuff vets need to keep track of that kennels don't. The basic premise is similar, though. We might fork the codebase one day.

Child daycares is a tough market. There are actually good products out there with medium-level investors. To be honest, I haven't spent much time looking into the market.
Yes, I think that too. And if you investigate Maxwells' Damon and sleep deprivation there are some obvious similarities. Also I always wondered if you go up the tree of life from what point or amount of neurons sleep is actually needed. I believe amoeba do not sleep.
And of course this is hacker news. The hordes of android fans down vote me with no comment, no argument, because it isn't about the facts of reality, it's about ideology and hatred.

So, this is a site where, if you don't kowtow to the prominent ideology you get buried.

That reflects more on you than those of us who are making counter arguments.
It seems more akin to USPS providing discounted rates for books in Media Mail and Library Mail (the T-Mobile way of discounting any streaming service without charge, at least)

As long as traffic priorities are applied to _classes_ of traffic which don't directly benefit a provider's service over competitors, I don't have a problem with it and don't think it violates the spirit of what network neutrality is supposed to be about.

It's also important that it's a positive benefit, not a restriction.
> Sun made oustanding hardware

For a time. And then Intel just marched on and everyone else collapsed under rising R&D costs and shrinking market share.

Remember how IBM couldn't raise the clock speed on their PowerPC (RISC!) chips, so Apple switched to the more powerful Intel architecture?
TLDR: Google is doing it too. Thank you for pointing it out.
Can this be installed without the Play Store?
The case would be thrown out because the provision says nothing of the kind, and in fact, this statement here by the EFF is defamation and when Apple countersued they'd win.

Apple doesn't respond to critics like this, so the EFF knows it can get away with these kinds of lies.

It's just unfortunate that you and others believe them, and those who point them out are silenced here on HN.
IIRC there are a lot more different sects of Islam then there are/have ever been of Christianity. Painting over a billion people with that broad a brush seems disingenuous to say the least.
They can use Cydia I guess. But this may be more an attempt to simply bring attention to how sickening Apple's developer agreement is. Which is a good thing to do anyway.
I don't think that's just wasteful. Depending on the nature of the corruption, one corrupt cop might do more harm than one honest cop can prevent.
No, the EFF Should not be writing articles full of lies attacking the company that has consistently defended consumer rights and supporting the company that has consistently violated them.
Soldiers learn Morse code as part of their training. It's still in widespread use, and required for any sort of advanced sailing license.
Android encourages users to stick to the Play Store, but has an escape hatch for users who don't want to. If Apple had such a policy, it might increase the presence of malware, but only for users who explicitly decided to circumvent the normal distribution process.

Most Android malware is distributed on the Play Store; the reasons it is prevalent include the lack of review process and the Android permission system, both of which are orthogonal to the ability to circumvent the store.
Kraftwerk Is a Power Plant That Fits in the Palm of Your Hand
My understanding is that you need to have the Play Store on your device for apps to register and receive push notifications from GCM [1]. Since that's the main functionality of the app at the moment, an APK for sideloading won't be too useful, but perhaps we can add one once we add more functionality?

[1] Would love to be wrong about this if anyone else knows differently.
Have a pre-commit linter disallow "var". (etc. for everything else.)

In a language like JS you cannot have it all, but at least appreciate the improvements! ;)
No, it's not black and white. But the level of gray at which people draw their line in the sand isn't a universal constant.

Sure hardliners exist, but there is no reason to call everyone hardliners for a difference in opinion.

Edit: You're probably not being down-voted by adherents in some holy war. Just people who genuinely believe that neither Apple's nor Google's can be seen in black and white. It's possible to discuss the downsides of something even if you have decided that, in totality, there is more up than down.
I'd love to help you with this.
Please show your work on how you get from the facts of the matter, those being:
1) There is more than one mobile provider
2) Multiple of these providers are independently considering implementing zero-rating
3) Zero-rating is providing a service for free (no matter how limited)
4) Companies only give things away for free when they are seeking to maintain or increase their customer base

To the conclusion that we see a monopoly in mobile providers.
