It's called clickbait, guys.

I for one appreciate learning a truth about the world, even if someone else thinks it's cynical & dismissive. Kinda like your second sentence is.

> usually described with destructive terms like these

Perhaps a way to inject some visceral excitement into an eSport. Also makes it feel like more of an accomplishment.

I can understand being confused by that wording, it wasn't the greatest. :)

> That's an unbalanced conclusion. Code can be a liability but it can also be an asset.

maybe that's why he said:

> Not only a liability, but a liability among other things.

> It is not a tool, it's a means to an end.

You could almost call it "something (such as an instrument or apparatus) used in performing an operation."[0]

> while all the others in the company will rot in hell because of the stupid choice of a junior engineer

If a team's management can't prevent this from happening, then they've got bigger problems to worry about.

Or perhaps to build lots of stuff, and only ship the good bits.

I don't know if I've ever known someone who can do that many at once, let alone "tons," let alone all of them being obese??

The answer is client-side encryption. https://standardnotes.org/

Focusing on technical value vs. business value.

Depends on how strict your definition of language death, I suppose. AFAIK Hebrew has always been used in religious contexts by the Jewish diaspora.

Audiobooks and podcasts are the go-to for those seasons of life.

At the risk of sounding too conservative for HN, this 'grandfathering' is an invaluable means of insulating societal infrastructure from the tyranny of cultural value shift.

Except communities that under-privileged will be unlikely to have the bandwidth or know-how for activism at that scale.

Unfortunately reality does not "inevitably" progress towards utopia, any more than the life of any individual does.

Part of the point of objecting to big data surveillance is that we ultimately don't know how it's being used, despite what companies claim about its use.

Can I believe you? ...even if you're telling the truth, big corps can hide their most malicious practices from most of their own employees.

To me, it doesn't matter how e.g. Facebook actually uses my data today, because even if they're telling the truth they could change their policies tomorrow, or get hacked, or some third party (incl. the gov't) could get hacked, etc. It's better as a user to try and prevent such data from ever existing in the first place.

We have to remember that kids don't have any reason to love distant relatives, and that adults don't have the right to demand physical affection from kids.

It's not so much a conscious sense of personal space as it is discomfort with the unfamiliar.

Hold a piece of toilet paper to flush, then drop it when bringing hands to ears.

> and wouldn't explain why to the teachers.

Looks like they thought to ask him, but a kid's parent will be able to extract better info out of them.

More like 0.00001%.

For all our worries about Big Data and privacy, Google et. al are apparently doing kind of a bad job at it. Seems like a one-hour conversation with a human would produce more relevant marketing insights than analyzing tens of thousands of data points does.

The system is unconcerned with how useful the ads are to users. Ads exist to persuade potential customers to buy, not to provide utility to them. The "relevance" is for them, not you.

Ironically a Civic would probably be high on that hippie's list of cars. What really would be folly is advertising an oversized lifted pickup truck.

You can find non-tracking & non-recommending Youtube apps like NewPipe on F-Droid.

How did she act when watching a movie, that's different from adults when we watch movies?

"The best time to start respecting intellectual property rights is 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

Cutting-edge tech stuff isn't really Toyota's thing - they excel at quality, reliability, and lifetime value, and thus have an incentive to delay new tech until they can perfect it.

You've drawn a false dichotomy between document and tree. A tree is a mathematical abstraction, a document is a text-based file, and markup languages are the intersection of those. Web pages were always documents according to the HTML specification, as one of your replies linked to.
