Yeah, I suspect the closer you are to the optimal voice/movement the better the effect is.

THey don't need a majority. They'd use it as negotiating leverage, ie, I'll vote this way if you vote that way.

What's interesting though is that Germany is an industrial powerhouse compared to the US.

Yeah, peaceful economics far outweigh military. Military cant hire talent because talent can make more money building products for the world. It's a nice trend. Trump's anti-trade is screwing that up though.

They're both in the wrong. Epic for screwing it up and rushing rather than investing in security, and Google for trying to score PR points at the expense of their users. Google is being anti-secure here by not allowing the update to filter through the ecosystem.

You mean google? You're right though, Google does a crap job auditing the playstore. It's ludicrous how they'll allow apps get access to everything on the phone without any kind of serious warning to the user.

My kids install all sorts of crap. I've warned them that all their texts and photos will end up on the internet because of it. Not highly probable, but certainly possible. Makes for a useful double check they're not texting anything silly.

7 days seems awfully short and not in the interest of users.

Yeah, it's definitely possible. It's a biz model in the crypto currency world.

Venture capital wouldn't exist if this weren't the case. Hell, hacker news wouldn't exist if this weren't the case.

He's slowly re-inventing communism. Give him time.

That's capitalism, baby. He who controls the capital reaps the rewards.

Ok, this doesn't make sense. Maybe APPL, but there is no way Google is that dependent on app store fees.

"If app store commissions fell to a blended rate of 5 percent to 15 percent, that would knock up to 21 percent off Apple’s earnings, before interest and tax, by fiscal 2020, Macquarie estimated. Google could lose up to 20 percent by the same measure, according to the brokerage firm. The technology giants are expected to earn more than $50 billion each, before interest and tax, in 2020, according to analyst forecast data compiled by Bloomberg.

Isn't it replicated every day in prisons?

I have no problem giving a number, but I know how much I'm worth. I really don't want to get paid more or less.

Far and Away did a decent cinematic retelling. It'd be interesting to see something which does a more complete job.

This is sort of true and sort of not true. It definitely does currently work, but if companies like Google and MSFT decided to, they could make it not work by providing search engines that actually helped you find products that are a good fit for you. But that will never be their focus as long as they make money off of ads.

Instead they create search engines that find a series of products that are relevant, though not necessarily a good fit.

I always thought this would be an interesting product that apple should work on. An iPhone search engine that finds products for you. They have the entire market to themselves and bucket loads of money to spend on it.

Apple never was good at that kind of thing, sadly, mostly because they can't attract the best in AI because of their secretive ways. They don't value their employees enough, like Google or Facebook.

MSFT could probably jump into the market to, though, if they made it a part of their OS.

Amazon is unfortunately screwing themselves by going backwards by making money off of ads. It's the beginning of the end for them I think as they get more addicted to that money. The more they leverage it, the less useful they become. Instead they should focus more on fixing their fake review problem.

At some point, there needs to be a backlash about our right to be shown advertisements. I mean, if it creates a nice discount and shows us relevant services - please DO track me.

Honestly, if I go to a website and later see a related ad to that website -- that's a good thing, right?

Maybe instead of removing tracking, we need something like an industry code where the browser has a great green bar around it saying you're being tracked and here are the benefits.

It reminds me of another situation. I play free game sometimes and I always shake my head in disbelief at the wasted opportunity when they show the interstitial ads that are uninteresting me. With a bit of intelligence, they should be showing extremely high value ads around software security (a personal example) that could lead to serious business. But no, Apple doesn't allow for that.

Yes, though I do wish there was a better way to read HN in a focused manner.

Here's a little experiment: Set aside a scheduled chunk of time each day to specifically read HN. You'll find it's a lot harder to do this in a focused manner.

So 650M is enough for NYU. The top 10 universities have endowment funds > 10B. Shouldnt they all be full rides for everyone as well?

No, College is expensive because it's horribly inefficient. Professors are paid terribly.

I think what you're referring to is pentesting. Agreed, for pentesting I highly doubt the course will be of much benefit.

However, for developing compliance and architectural plans for a large enterprise, it's quite a bit more complex problem.

Downvotes coming from people who lack cognizance. The whole fact that we suffer from tragedy of commons shows a general lack of high level cognizance in humans, no? Sure, we're a little brighter than birds, but it's all relative.

And there sometimes we don't want wiggle room, thus the blockchain is good for that.

Not sure guardian understands how training AI works.

At like a 10% profit (in the best case), that's a pretty terrible full time job.

Unreadable, but very very listenable. These books are amazing on audio tape and fantastic to listen to when going on hikes or runs or whatever. I find there is a very pleasant atmospheric lyricism to Joyce's work that paints a very particular picture of Dublin that is quite fascinating and enjoyable.

Art sometimes is best absorbed rather than understood. Great art can reveal when pressed, but I usually only do that randomly to ensure that there is substance there, and there usually is.

Gabrielle co-wrote puberty blues, a book about 13 year old girls becoming groupies for a "surfie" gang in 1970s australia. A rather autobiographical account. How much of it she lived, and how much of it was Katy, I'm not sure. No doubt the beginning of some of her choices she talks about in this piece.

I think the idea is to respect the spirit of our laws and you won't get punished. Taking a risk here is fine, but make choices which are moral/ethical and aren't abusing your customers and are generally a positive for the economy. Do that, and if the laws turn in your favor, you'll probably do ok.

Government, good government, isn't trying to crush the entrepreneurial spirit. They also recognize that startups deserve a different legal arena than more established companies.

I dunno about this, banned password + minor change seems like a bad password to me.

Tldr, series A is a balance between traction or more young, charismatic ivy league graduates. The less you have of one the more you need of the other.

I'm always amazed how much it takes for people to say pretty simple things.

Actually, a huge mistake yelp made is forced you in their app. Very very anti user.
