gundisclosed··on Facebook's 'Clear History' Tool Doesn't Clear Shit (2020)
“most people haven't read the Facebook terms of service and it is probably unreasonable to expect everyone to not only read them”

I completely disagree with this thought process. If a website is asking your birthday, every like / dislike , every detail about relatives and is able to predict if you like someone even before you do .. you better know how they will use all this data.

“When you delete content, it's no longer visible to other users; however, it may continue to exist elsewhere on our systems”

This is from FB’s terms and conditions, so I guess they can still keep the data.

If you agree to any other website’s terms and conditions saying “any third party can track you”, you have again given permission.

I guess no, because you agreed to terms and conditions that they can.
gundisclosed··on I am a heroin user. I do not have a drug problem
When source of addiction is not fulfilled for a long time it can have different effects on different individuals. It is not a generalised “feeling”.

Some people might feel a drive to do something completely non-rational, some might go into depression, some might even feel hungry.

gundisclosed··on Launch HN: Worksphere (YC W21) – Manage flexible in-office or remote workspaces
Ok, but SpaceIQ also provides IOT integrations, way finder and some other features. But I understood the direction. Thank you for the comments and best of luck !

Yes certainly! A slack bot would certainly help in ease of use among team members.

It is certainly not “I can build this in X days with Y no-code”. I can see the utility and would be happy to pay. But I certainly don’t understand the pricing model.

Or maybe a better question might be, how does one arrive at the pricing model for a product like this ?

Hello, Interesting idea and decent execution, congratulations on the launch (A slack bot would also be an interesting add on). But to be honest, I am flabbergasted by pricing model. My current assumption is that it is mainly just a scheduling software, so does it provide the same value as Gmail enterprise ( considering nearly same pricing ) ?
gundisclosed··on Dev-C++ Is a Low Memory Windows Native C++ IDE Built in Delphi
I was going back to home town from college and we were not having internet at home. I remember I downloaded Dev-c++ before going back and a book on c++ just for fun. Compiling my first program took 2 days ( no net, no similar friend circle ) !! Best 2 days of my life.

Dev-c++ was my first proper IDE, happy to see it around.

gundisclosed··on Why Do Models That Predict Failure Fail? [pdf]
There will always be probability involved, the algorithm’s job will be also be to “wrap the prediction” in a way receiver thinks will it will benefit from ( negotiate ) . Hence leading to following the prediction.
gundisclosed··on Why Do Models That Predict Failure Fail? [pdf]
Yes, but that would make it infinitely hard for the algorithm as the output is depending on who is receiving the output. Hence the algorithm should have perfect understanding of environment, receiver and equation between the environment and receiver.

A true future predicting algorithm should be aware of its existence and the affect its prediction will have over the receiver / receivers.
