I'm sorry and I know these kinds of posts are sometimes discouraged here on HN but do you have a eli5 for that or possibly some reading I could check out. Why would https everywhere allow advertisers to enhance their targeting?

Since you work on ads, may I ask why you support this? Won't this make most of your features ineffective?

Clearly Manning is the most simpathetic of all mistreated 'leakers'. Truly, what does anyone gain by having her locked up?

He was akin to a one man cartel, why shouldn't he be locked up? I'd guess there is a high risk he'd do it again if he had the chance. Unless you think it was OK because he was 26 years old and first time offender...

Reminds me of door control buttons in an elevator that you use everyday only to find the button resting on the floor one day, revealing that it was adhered to the control panel with a hot glue gun the whole time.

This is what I've seen everything trending towards for almost ten years now. The next step is to build hardware that utilize the full benefits of data center gaming. Vr headsets can shrink and are only limited by the method of getting light into your retina. Same goes with any kind of haptic feedback or audio feedback.

Yes it does matter. I have camera covers for my phone and laptop. In terms of microphones I keep the phone and laptop away from me when I have conversations about politics. Call me paranoid but we know that the potential for listening in is there and I just don't know who is recording what. Remember that only two generations ago my German jew grandparents were put in camps. I don't live in a constant state of fear or anything like that, these precautions have just become habit.

They did? You are wrong, I find that equally concerning. I do make choices on electronics based on their hardware. I do not have any devices like he echo or homepod because I find them intrusive. Maybe you two don't but I definitely do. I have two devices with microphones and cameras connected to the internet as far as I know and I have taken the necessary precautions to ensure that those are safe. Now I have to open up my other Google products to check if they've been bugged. You bet your butt I'm a bit miffed.

Cool. I read a few articles. Definitely bookmarking and returning for more.

My thoughts on this aren't really about Elon or media coverage, though I think all sides have valid points. My thoughts are that Tesla lowering prices overall was a bit strange to begin with. Not many were calling for a price reduction in model s and x. Everyone wanted the 35k model 3 because that was what was promised. So by lowering the prices of all 3, they had to close stores. Bad move IMO. Relying on online sales is putting faith in a change in consumer behavior. When i buy a new car, sure I look for the car online first but I NEVER buy a car without a full physical inspection. That would be bananas in my world. So keeping stores open is smart. Keeping the savings for just model 3 is smart. Increasing the prices of s and x back up to what they were is smart. Reversing recent decisions makes me nervous but at least I get why they're doing it.

On a second note, from friends of mine who work there I hear that this kind of 'change of heart' manuevering is common from top to bottom. They'll be working on a project and then a decision will be made, often without warning and often because it's what manager think Elon wants, and they'll spend hours in overtime transitioning to the new regime. In one case I was told about, they refactored their codebase to a different language in a week and a half only to be told to refractor to yet another language half way through. They are always stressed that whatever they're working on is going to be scrapped at any moment. Not sure if anyone else has had this experience where they work but i have not.

You can always turn off Bluetooth via software to save on battery if that's what you mean.

They took it down. What did it say?

I wonder, though, if this had more to do with how much they are actually investing in AI vs electric car tech. Surely Tesla is an EV company first and an AI company second. I know they like to brag about their autopilot but it eems to me that having a lower cost car is more important than having an expensive lidar system on board.

I've used it several times to good effect. Got to stay in a decent room in Vegas when I was just passing through for 15 bucks. They offered it to me for a second night for 25.

Ive also used it in LA, SF, bumfuck Arizona, etc. Each time I got better deals. But I used it to find hotels day of.

I am a conservationist to what some would say is the extreme and yet I agree with you. My eco-actovist friends would probably never talk to me if they heard me agree with you but it's true. We are naive. Some of us are greedy and through greed destroy, but even those people are naive. We are still monkeys with rocket ships. Forgiving ourselves coupled with dedication towards preservation of life is our only way forward. Everything else is ugly.

I'm not convinced by this argument. One factor he isn't addressing is that cars may be getting more reliable, as in people drive them for longer. My grandmother for instance switched to Toyota 25 years ago and has two cars that whole time.

Another problem I see is that car sales aren't necessarily in s huge of downturn as he says. 2016-2017 according to his own graph shows massive growth and it looks like the UK has returned to 2016 numbers. Considering the weaker pound and the fear around Brexit, this doesn't seem to me to be all that bad long-term.

China and Turkey are both having economic downturns along with Britain. I wonder if he could make the same argument while using economicly stable countries.

One thing I'm thinking that might aid his argument is that the baby boomers are beginning to get old enough to stop driving or dying. Could that harm sales? Also I'd like to see how Lyft came up with the 300k riders who stopped owning a car.

You like that huh? https://www.dwitter.net/

My mind is kind of blown that I'm using this in a browser on my phone, wirelessly.

> But a web framework should adopt the most neutral stance and designers can modify as they see fit. In other words, decorative frameworks as proposed by the OP that are based on an Architectural movement are not appropriate for majority of the webpages on the internet.

This is true. Not all web pages need high decoration. Think of art nouveau Google sheets. Hah, what a nightmare that would be. But I would say we make a mistake to say that most web pages are similar. That's how we get these design philosophies to end them all. What works for material design won't necessarily work for your design.

> Instead Decoration distracts, deludes and creates confusion. It steals clarity and intent in design. In some cases, Decoration is not honest.

You are describing ~BAD~ decoration and design. And I totally agree with you that bad decoration is the MOST detracting thing. But good decoration actually moves your eye, body, and intent towards better function. Art deco has many leading lines that guide people towards main entrances or even displays the ethos of the organization. Intuitively I know you think this is true because a web without any decoration would look like a terminal. Grids and layouts are decoration and if used improperly will distract users as well.

Usually when I'm confronted with such conundrums it's a signal to me that I'm thinking about the problem too narrowly. Surely being at the table, unless you are the one making decisions, is lending yourself to someone else's cause. If you weren't a yes man one way or another you'd probably be thrown off the team anyway and replaced by another yes man. Maybe you get to sway them towards competency but you aren't changing their end goal.

There are other ways of changing the world than working with those who perpetuate violence.

And here I was hoping Google would ban them from their image search so that it would useful again.

Took awhile to find it but they plan on building 33 one room homes. They site that before the fires there were 2000 homeless in butte County. 11 of these 33 will be set aside for victims of the fire. 22 will accommodate those 2000.

Local communities in CA need to get their act together and build housing starting where I live. I will continue to support any affordable (or free) housing project because it just seems that homelessness burdons everyone.

>"nothing to hide" strawmen

Obviously I have no source for this except for personal experience but fwiw about %90 of the people I talk to here in the Bay Area believe the benefits of serveillance outweigh the harms and communicate such by saying they have "nothing to hide". I know my sample could be biased somehow but I've organized groups of activists before and done recruiting for such activities all around the bay (from ghetto to mansion). I have definitely noticed a trend. People here and on the internet seem more perceptive but that's definitely biased by my limited visited websites. I think it's impossible to have a constructive conversation about serveillance without talking about the "nothing to hide" people since, after all, in order to change policy you have to get people to agree on policy change.

I have to say, I have never thought of it this way but it seems so common sense. Every deal has a cost associated with it of course but if only a certain subsection of people can appreciate that deal (see: non low income earners), then those who can't will eventually end up paying for it. The most egregious example would be over the top ceo bonuses. I always thought that the major problem with the unbanked or this who didn't have access to lines of credit were that they didn't have as much upward mobility but now I can see they're actively being made poorer with essentially accelerated inflation of the prices of everyday goods. I wonder if other services like Amazon Prime have a similar effect.

Now wait a minute. Serveillance technology is definitely sold as more than just tools for building a house. They are tools of war and authoritarianism. Sure you have your run of the mill equipment for securing your building. But then you have massive networks of Spyware to catalog an entire nation's activity embedded without notice into the products you use without your consent. Your politician will sell you it for homeland security but the companies that sell the tech to the government sell in the same way arms dealers do. A Tomohawk missile is also a tool. And if home depot was selling that, especially if they were selling it under the pretence of a 'self defence tool' you but your shiny behind I'd have a problem with it. Wouldn't you?

Now consider home depot and Amazon are both warehouse businesses. Only one of them is helping the US government extend its digital spy network and increase its cyberwar capabilities.

Get a couple of big dogs? Not sure who is more territorial. Maybe coerce them somewhere else with a snack they like so they occupy someone else's yard. Carrots and sticks.
