>My line of thinking is that takes the power away from the individual.

Takes the power away from Apple you mean.

If Apple cares that much about privacy, as opposed to their bottom line under the guise of caring, then they can implement additional controls into the OS layer that will help users control or even anonymize/randomize their data when running third-party apps.

That's a problem better solved by providing more granular, user-controlled limits on app permissions at the OS level than by locking down the 'ecosystem' and further removing users' control over their own devices.

Given the number of social services and amount of support available, I highly doubt that even a sizeable minority of these crimes are survival-related.

This comes back to scarcity as the root cause. If there were an abundance of alternatives in the same price range, shitty landlords couldn't get away with letting their properties deteriorate to such a condition.

The deadbeat landlord problem would solve itself once we build ourselves out of scarcity.

>A claim like that needs supporting evidence. I see no reason why segregation among different members of a single community is natural.

Considering that in-group-out-group psychology has been humanity's evolutionary default for tens if not hundreds of thousands of years, I'd say the burden of evidence is on anyone claiming the contrary.

>Lazard is generally regarded as pretty credible.

No they're not, as already pointed out in response to your other comments (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32092280), yet you continue to cite them as an authority.

Not to mention the other comments that refute those numbers using the same paper - projects would be closer to ~$100/KWh when storage is taken into account, as shown graphed in the paper itself.

You should include this disclaimer as you commented below

>I should admit that I drove for only a month

so that readers can properly weigh your experiences when forming an opinion.

>sinophobia

Purposely conflating China and the CCP, when the parent was criticizing the latter, is disingenuous at best.

>mindless anti-China ranting

And there goes arguing in good faith...

>After four days, 25 000 fake visits from customers had been registered with Facebook. But they had neither shut down nor warned the owners of the made-up pharmacy - Swedish Radio News' reporters. When the reporters log into their account, they see that Facebook has stored the type of sensitive information that they say their filter is built to delete again and again.

>The question that the reporters then asked themselves was whether or not Facebook even has a filter that works in the Swedish language. One of the pharmacies that Swedish Radio reported on say that they cannot find any warnings from Facebook on data transfers that have taken place. The other has not wanted to answer the question. According to state investigators in the USA last year, Facebook only filtered in English.

Wow, seems like this will have major implications under GDPR as well.

>Slack is one of the most secure Electron apps currently in existence at the moment, they have been...

And from your other comment

>we in the Slack Desktop team

Seems misleading to declare something like this without a disclaimer that you work for the company in question, especially when phrasing it as if you are definitively not a part of said company.

Slack crashes (unresponsive white window -> hard reload) for me at least once a day on the latest MacOS and Intel MBP, and it seems a common occurrence for many of the coworkers I talk to.

If you put an end date like the PP mentioned, then I think that's on you.

"<Start date> - current" prevents that problem nicely.

>Obviously we don't want to make things harder for already disadvantaged communities, but we simply can't let Walmart off the hook when they specifically tell their employees to complete transactions even when they suspect fraud.

That's a nice thought. How do you propose we meet the former when the alternatives for preventing the latter would result in increased costs being passed to those consumers?

Comparing blatant theft of physical property to a possible financial scam, the latter of which the company has nowhere near the context required to make a determination on, seems a bit disingenuous, no?

How so?

Odd that you think this is some sort of gotcha given that the best predictor of future behavior is, in fact, past behavior.

Could you share any interview links for those interested but not familiar enough to find the info on Google?

So the crux of your argument is that it's more likely that a virus with that type of predisposition occured in nature in a specific area around the Wuhan market as opposed to being sampled from one of many areas, potentially modified, and then leaked into said area? Seems unlikely considering the rarity as you pointed out.

>And the rest of your comment just tells me you know nothing about biology.

No need to resort to ad-hominems ; all it achieves is tainting your future responses on the topic with a lingering question of whether they are being made in good faith.

>the limited evidence to conclude that the lab leak hypothesis is increasingly unlikely.

Any citations to share? I've only seen peer-reviewed evidence shared in this comments section that contradicts this claim.

>But we've pretty much established that it was a virus of natural origin

You keep repeating this sentiment even though there are other comments that provide evidence to the contrary, that we haven't established that at all.

Do you have any sources to support this claim other than what are effectively op-ed essays?

> There isn't really a story here. YouTube just kind of blindly accepts any and all DMCAs regardless of whether the claimant has legitimate ownership or not.

Sounds like a compelling story to me.

Or more likely - all of the above.

I couldn't disagree more. I'm far more concerned about device vendors leveraging encrypted DNS in order to remove my ability to intercept and filter DNS resolution on my own network.

For example, I'm sure Google and pretty much every Smart TV vendor would love it if we could no longer easily block traffic for streaming ads, sending telemetry, etc.

>you can in some cases copyright the digitisation of out-of-copyright photos

I don't have an opinion in either direction but it seems unnecessary to criticize the disagreement of others when even your own link refutes your claim, as Animats pointed out above. "Let's not throw stones in glass houses" and such.

Are there any examples to cite that support your claim?

>now i'm typing random shortcuts (like reassigning tickets, changing status or whatever).

This happens to me often and it's absolutely infuriating. I'd prefer a blocking spinning wheel of death over that nonsense. It's all but ensured that I'll be looking elsewhere when choosing project tracking software in the future.

How about you explicitly state your point? Sea lion-ing is typically frowned upon on HN.

>as another commenter stated, there's a good argument against all of these words too.

As far as I can tell, the other commenter was actually making the opposite point (reducto ad absurdum).

I agree, bucketing all of those experiences together seems extremely misleading.

Seems like an acceptable position to take until you find yourself outside of the boundaries of acceptable behavior.

Personally, I don't mind having to manually filter/ignore non-conformant behavior in order to prevent that possibility for myself and any other minority group online.
