Hmm, I see..

> I've been seeing this fallacy a lot lately in these times. If you're ever in this situation: the longer you're held without a lawyer, the higher the liability on your captor becomes. Period. This is where million dollar lawsuits by the ACLU and jail time for corruption begins.

This itself is actually the fallacy. Take a look at this:

> Watson was correct all along: He was a U.S. citizen. After he was released, he filed a complaint. Last year, a district judge in New York awarded him $82,500 in damages, citing "regrettable failures of the government."

> On Monday, an appeals court ruled that Watson, now 32, is not eligible for any of that money — because while his case is "disturbing," the statute of limitations actually expired while he was still in ICE custody without a lawyer.

Why would you ask that?

It's been reported many times that Facebook creates shadow profiles for everyone who does not use FB, and still tracks them across the web. So avoiding them is harder than "just dont use his products"

Please don't editorialize the article titles for the submission.

Dupe. Front paged several times

Not much of a survey (the subtitle of the article)... Screenshots are included for some and not for others.

Whoa, is there a video/photo from this? What year? Did a search but could not find it

Oh I see. Thank you!

> GALAXY BRAIN: Apps Hungarian is stupid and just duplicates the work of the type system

Is this correct? From the article, Apps Hungarian represents your intent for the var (the kind), not the type. Systems Hungarian represents the type (duplicative).

I guess instead of email, they [Netflix] have been spamming my phone about every new original show they created, usually something I'm not interested in. It got annoying enough one week to actually go turn notifications off.

Yes, all the time. Almost daily

I don't have the kind of wealth that you're talking about, but after earning a high salary, I started using an accountant and somehow they managed to turn my tax return into >100 pages. As someone who used to do their own taxes, it's difficult for me to read.

I can't imagine how complicated a billionaire's tax returns are with an army of accountants.

> I'm using market cap as a proxy for success not profit...

Market cap is not and has never been a good proxy for success.

> Nobody realized, in the early days, just how easy it was to abuse a social network API.

Well the article linked is from January 2019, not "the early days". It's about a GDPR request that Facebook is/was avoiding answering.

Thanks for adding this insight. An import/export feature is the only reason why I'd commit to try this, so looking forward to that feature launch!

> But the _3rd party client_ is the one can do things on behalf of the user (post messages on a forum, add details to a map, etc).

How does this part work? It's unclear to me how a web/mobile app should be posting to a forum. It's invoking an API that exists on a server (client-side code is not secure). Perhaps I'm picturing your model wrong..

> Where air power equipment may become the real alternative power source is when it is combined with a wind turbine air compressor, which the Amish are beginning to use. During a good steady windy season many Amish may not need to run a regular air compressor for days at a time.

I have not heard about an wind/air turbine used to refill an air compressor (without electricity). Not sure how that would work, but I'm very interested in learning if anyone has background here.

That's probably because it's a kickstarter

Is there a reason why they don't have a street address in 2019? Do they not want them or is it funding or something else?

I bet they're just going to EOL it. It's been pointed out here by several Xooglers that Google engineers tend to focus only on launching new products in order to get promoted. This looks like it was built by a different group (Nest) within google.

I didn't change the title, but here's the non-hype gist of it:

> Virgin’s Hyperloop One is eyeing North Texas as a site for a certification facility, according to the Regional Transportation Council.

Thanks for posting that... Here's the core piece:

> And then Stallman freaks and he gets a copy of my source code, does a whole lot of editing. He doesn't actually-- You know, he edits, like, almost all of the copyright headers, but he doesn't edit all of them and he only kind of thinly edits it and then he re-releases it as GNU Emacs. And then IBM and Digital Equipment pick that up and start distributing it. So these, so the two guys in the garage who had been doing okay suddenly find that IBM and DEC are distributing their thing for free and they're dying. So they decided to sue DEC and IBM and they got a, you know, and that turned into a big, big court case. They won. It was kind of a pyrrhic victory. You know, so IBM and DEC paid them some damages, but that didn't stop GNU Emacs. .. ..he hadn't actually changed all of the copyright notices. So it was like, duh. But then it sort of took on its own life and it's become the GNU Emacs that everybody uses.

> I worked at Uber from 2014-2018.

Seems like you probably got a lot of shares and were lucky. Now that they IPO'd, do you consider that you came out ahead financially (compared to working elsewhere)?

Where do you get pentesting from? This translation sounds like it could mean anything from an audit to full-packet capture.

> but cost 20X as much due to lower economies of scale, broadly because people don't want it.

For any existing fund manager who tracks an index (i.e. Vanguard), this shouldn't be too difficult or expensive. They're already buying/selling a TON of SP500 shares at the close of trading day. Now they just need to subtract some of those buys/sell for the overvalued companies that people do not want. Am I missing something?

EDIT: Oh, I guess the (SEC?) would require a different fund management and prospectus for every index "smart beta" permutation, and therefore wouldn't be realistic.

> it's a mockery of moral reasoning to hold them responsible.

What are we holding them responsible for? Was something amoral? They clearly made the first decision for better or worse. Now if there was a sign that said "No walking on the grass", they clearly violated something.

I submitted with it capitalized. Looks like HN automatically uncapitalized it after submission (to prevent YELLING I guess?)

Just looked at Alibris... $28.92 estimated for shipping 8 books? No thanks.

That must just be for purchases through the app? Yesterday, I went to amazon.com and the website reminded me that I wasn't using the Smile (charity) portal and had a button to redirect me to smile.amazon.com. I smiled at that non-dark-pattern. I don't have the app...
