I've noticed this too, and not just with Google. Same with Amazon and many other big tech companies.

I've wondered why, and the only thing I can think of is that they are all jumping to machine learning, and the results are worse than the old-fashioned algorithms.
If they are visible to the model, then these artifacts could also be generated.

A truck specifically, or would any ol' four-wheel driven (4x4, AWD) vehicle do?
Nondeterministic keyboard search is infuriating.
Always upvote Andrew Plotkin.
Why do you have conditionals written like this: if (elevator.goingUpIndicator() == true)? Why not just: if (elevator.goingUpIndicator())?

He was already in the process of ditching Twitter for a right wing platform. Twitter dragged their feet for so long because they didn’t want a competitive platform to take his audience. This isn’t Twitter suddenly finding their morals, they have little to lose now that he is moving on.
The guardrails they've laid down are incredibly wide. A police officer died as a result of extreme rhetoric they left up from this guy - he had more than enough chances. I agree that these Tweets are only mildly inflammatory; but given the context that he should be doing everything in his power to calm the situation he caused, they're completely inappropriate.

Given that, "Is that really the world you want to live in?" ... Yes.
My take, and I hope I’m wrong, is they want to set a tone for a clear agenda. It goes back to the early XX century when when you wanted to control people you ensured taking over the media first and foremost.
Big tech has gotten away with the monopoly-but-not-abuse-of-monopoly argument for a decade because the platforms were free and available to everyone.

If the second point is not true anymore... it's going to start getting regulated like a utility. Your electric and phone providers can't simply decide to stop serving people it doesn't like, and likely, Twitter won't either.
Not too long ago. I think the Pandora's box is that the social media companies really had a choice of two universes:

* A world where they weren't the arbiters of truthiness, and were a place that supported 'free speech'.

* A world where they decide what posts to show, and it's their job to moderate the platform.

The decision to take the second approach is actually a pretty recent development. These companies can no longer hide behind the 'we are just a platform for free speech' line of thinking, because they have now decided that's not what they are about.
Of course. Everyone knows everything sits in /Downloads nowadays, whether it came from the Internet or not.
Yeah. We should have started crushing the alt-right years ago, honestly. It's pretty sad how smart people get sucked into these conspiracies and start following dear leader so quickly.
Will politicians continue using Twitter et al after this? Seems a bit risky to reach out to their followers using a third-party. Why don’t they have their own website?
Restricting peoples access to an app in the app store that is also a website is... an exercise in futility.

What it does do is further back the extremists idea that they are being marginalized by big tech while others aren't. It is another step of divisiveness that leads to MORE of what just happened on Wednesday.

I'm not saying the content of Parler is at all appropriate or that people should be able to call for violence and not be punished. Violence is not the answer, but neither is further disenfranchising people and pushing us further apart.
First sentence:
"Unconditional basic income is being heralded as the solution to all of Europe’s financial problems ..."

I still have to find somebody who beliefs that a UBI is a solution to ALL of Europe’s financial problems. Even the biggest UBI fans I know wouldn't claim that.

Could we try to keep hacker unrelated politics out of HN. Or at least use better sources than this neoliberal trashzine called New Economy.
You used to (still do?) spam this heavily on the programming subreddit. It annoys me to see that it's selling rather well, yet you apparently can't be bothered to buy an ad.

It varies from case to case, and depends on two principal factors: 1-the comments, and 2-the link.
Echoing a similar sentiment here, Thank You!!!
I appreciate your counter argument and am familiar with it. I disagree about the Great Depression and pretty much everything else you’ve said, but I mean no disrespect, only contend that there is a whole body of economic thought that agrees with me, and that mainstream Econ (recognizing the plurality of schools of thought here) has swept under the rug, because it’s inconvenient. I know “my side” is unpopular and “discredited”. I think it happens to mainly be right, simpler, and generally disabling to the status quo, which I’d characterize as built to enable active interventions. I’ve said nothing about what to Actually do to fix this all, because that is more complex, and not addressed properly, in the main, by anybody. I think one has to recognize the pain that unwinding all of this must cause, and not just “switch it all out”. Heck of a mess!

I’ll be happy to get my (Of course discredited) books out and recite the counter case about the Great Depression if anybody really wants me to later. Basically the fed and various policies caused what should have been a short sharp correction/stock-crash (at the end of a runaway fed built stock market streak) to extend into a long drawn out mess. Forgetting innumerable details I am sure. But yeah, I know you don’t agree. I do not find your case compelling.

While I have a chance, here is a good book on the Austrian case against the status quo narrative on the great depression:

https://cdn.mises.org/Americas%20Great%20Depression_3.pdf

This is, in the main, what I allude to on that one point (caveat, I am not a gold bug and of course Rothbard is. I think focusing on specific instances of "the way to implement an idea" allows people to laugh at the specific to forget/discredit the greater idea itself. Similar issues arise with Austrian rejection of stats and involved mathematical analysis.). I do not subscribe to those ideas, but find the bulk of the economic analysis itself compelling.
So far as WINE is concerned:

At the end of the day, x86 is x86. Different operating systems use different loaders/dynamic linkers, different filesystem layouts, different APIs, but still the same machine code and still the same calling conventions. WINE, in a nutshell, merely presents the Windows environment (by wrapping Linux calls in Windows calls) to an executable that is running otherwise natively, there isn't a virtual machine or an emulator involved. There is no sandbox or security (as that is a non-goal).

The problem is that various DRM and anti-cheat products use undocumented Windows syscalls to do their job, and syscalls are something that you can't just wrap with a function. This extension will allow WINE to ask Linux to send it unhandled syscalls (via SIGSYS), so that it can emulate them (making it a misnomer for the first time).
> Does anybody actually see linkedIn as this?

Definitely not. No one I know uses LinkedIn except when they are looking for a new job.

The ones I've found who are using it a lot are either: paid to, or desperate for work and try to fluff up and BS their way into a job.
This is no longer the era of Western control over China, no longer the era of the Opium Wars where Western countries could act with impunity with respect to China.

The world of today is no longer the world of ten years ago. In ten more years, the world of today will be completely changed again.

China has as much strength to do to Western countries what the Western countries do to China. The Balance of Power has changed.

But Western countries are having great difficulty in recognising that from now on, every action is likely to have an opposite reaction, and their own actions are very likely to lead to shooting themselves in the foot. May we live in interesting times.
"a second or two"

Whenever that happens, I just start doing "4 billion... 8 billion... 12 billion"

ok. I will check this post periodically, so if you do end up doing that I will order one.
The idea is t run a binary in userspace called 'starnix' that will work as a glue between the linux syscalls and the fuchsia kernel.

This is possible given they designed it in a micro-kernel like fashion, where things are more modular and a lot more can be done straight from the userspace without going for the expensive 0 ring barrier.

From the docs:

> Rather than running Linux binaries in a virtual machine, `starnix` creates a
_Linux runtime_ natively in Fuchsia. Specifically, Linux program can be wrapped
with a _component manifest_ that identifies `starnix` as the _runner_ for that
component. Rather than using the _ELF Runner_ directly, the binary for the
Linux program is given to `starnix` to run.

> In order to execute a given Linux binary, `starnix` manually creates a
`zx::process` with an initial memory layout that matches the Linux ABI. For
example, `starnix` populates `argv` and `environ` for the program as data
on the stack of the initial thread (along with the `aux` vector) rather than
as a message on the bootstrap channel, as this data is populated in the Fuchsia
System ABI.
> An economy built on the idea of incentivizing people to not spend any money is not good at all.

It's better not to induce anyone to over-spend or under-spend. I would not advocate a deliberately deflationary monetary policy any more than I would advocate a deliberately inflationary one. The supply should remain as constant as possible so as to avoid injecting noise into a very important economic signaling mechanism regarding the dividing line between socially beneficial investment (above-average returns) and malinvestment (below-average returns). Between the two, though, IMHO it's better to err on the side of deflation. It's easier to correct for underconsumption or underinvestment (just start spending or investing more) vs. getting back resources which have already been wasted on unproductive excess consumption or malinvestment. When you inflate the money supply in an attempt to drive people to consume more than they need or else invest in ventures that may or may not actually make a positive contribution to the average rate of return just to avoid being penalized for holding cash you're actively contributing to the destruction of wealth and making everyone collectively worse off. (Though of course not everyone is worse off; those individuals closest to the supply of new money benefit disproportionately from receiving it at pre-inflated rates before it becomes diluted throughout the economy.)

"Deflationary spirals" are a well-known economic myth. There is no general correlation between monetary deflation and a shrinking economy, much less a self-destructive feedback loop. Gradual, unforced deflation does not significantly affect the demand for goods—people still need things now, they can't just wait forever for prices to improve—and while nominal wages do obviously decrease over time, nominal prices of consumer goods tend to decrease even faster, resulting in an increase in purchasing power. As opposed to the situation with money supply inflation, where prices tend to rise faster than wages.
Do you think the Fed should have not done this and allowed inflation to run below their 2% target (perhaps negative)? Or do you have an alternative suggestion for how to keep inflation steady without printing money?
Ah, I wasn't clear enough ... I was thinking in that case the canonical calender event would be encoded in time in Chile, even if the local calender was in Germany or whatever. Looking back that could have been written much better so I've added a parenthetical.
>not on a phone

If the app isn't running on the phone then there shouldn't be any need for the phone to be connected to the internet ("Mistake Three" in the article)
It looks like to me that the demographic that participates in this market on both the supply (scalpers, not the mfg.) and demand ends are rich suburbia boys.
I care a lot what other people do with their money. I care if they use it to harm people. I care if they use it to buy legislation to replace pensions with 401ks. I care if they “earned” it through fraudulent means. Some ways to use money are beneficial or neutral, but some are harmful.
This is shifting the goalpost/improper generalisation, did you notice? Grand³-parent was about going "to a group of BLM or antifa activist protest and tell them you voted for Trump".
A link to the github repo would be useful.
He put himself in a position where only chance protected him from a disaster. (Imagine if the update did trash the running server.) That's reason enough for a good sysadmin to be worried, IMO.

I tend to view this as a sorting function. If you opt for a job that has high pay but low social value, you're probably not one of our best minds.
Your first sentence and last sentence are contradictory. Additionally, the information you linked to could be a typo but it actually says that "This means that you should be able to dose the same quantity of acid again to achieve similar effects."

I don't personally use LSD, but I believe this information to be correct: "There is a short period of tolerance after use. Using LSD two days in a row is likely to lead to a diminished experience the second day, though spaced 3 or more days apart, this effect is nearly non-existent." (via http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_basics.shtml) Yes, using it two days in a row will result in a less powerful effect the second day but most people wouldn't attempt it that soon anyways (I'd assume).

I only point this out as this thread makes LSD seem like a wonder drug and I'd want new users to get the correct information.
So I don't understand. Are you saying that research money is essentially a donation so that's why it doesn't "count"? Isn't the point of a company's research team to develop profit centers that not only cover their own costs but then some? Because the way I'm reading this Apple's R&D is doing it better and more efficiently.
hmm... May be like Patent Trolls there is an 'Anti Patent Trol' business opportunity here. Somebody w/ deep pockets hires a bunch of lawyers. And any time a company gets sued these guys based on the merits of the case may choose to fight for you. In exchange for equity. It could work I think. Averaged over enough law suits.
I agree, you have to distinguish between situations where the negotiation is a prelude to a longer term relationship (e.g. selling someone a SaaS subscription) and where it's more likely a one time transaction (e.g. selling a used car). If you are negotiating with another experienced party then Nibbling, Higher authority, Flinch, Play dumb, adding details not agreed to, Red herring, Reluctant buyer, and Want it all are likely to slow things down or convince them that they don't want a long term business relationship with you.
I went to one of the (if not the) top school for my program. Honestly, I came away feeling very jaded - I felt like the school only cared about itself and wouldn't think twice about you while you were there but would be sure to quickly claim you as an alum if you made something of yourself afterward.

That being said, I did meet some amazing people there and it helped me get through all of the politics. There's definitely something to be said about surrounding yourself with talented people. But there are other opportunities to do so outside of the school setting. Look for a local hacker group. Go to some meetups.

While these schools might provide a springboard to getting to where you want to go, they are just that - a springboard; they are probably not the end goal. There was a link posted a few months ago about the idea of everyone wanting a million dollars. The author's main point was that you don't really want the million dollars - you want what the million dollars can buy (freedom, adventure, etc). The second point was that you don't need the million dollars to achieve these things.

Hang in there!
Well, Riot is pretty old... This is a major upgrade, and as such font-page-worthy I'd say.

Bangkok is quite a bit cheaper than Tokyo. And there is a huge Japanese expat population as a result.

> Thailand is really not much cheaper than Japan these days for a foreigner who doesn't speak the language, but it remains a developing country.

I would agree that Thailand is not as cheap as people think it is, but looking at what my friends in Japan pay (not even in Tokyo!), I doubt cost of living in Japan is comparable to cost of living in Thailand.

0x10, "Data Link Escape"? How did that get there, I'm really curious.
Well WTF... I know 100% for a fact I saw this somewhere, that's why I didn't buy one............. can you think of what the article I read might have been referencing? It might have even been a huge thread on HN how developers/programmers were waiting a year+ to buy it until certain things were supported.
But Paris is within the highest levels of light pollution you can find in Europe (the only other places in Europe being the inner parts of London, Saint Petersburg, and a couple of cities in Spain - no other European country even has places that bright). I don't think that can be called even remotely dark, though it'll be interesting to see if I visit again.

Source: http://darksitefinder.com/maps/world.html#6/48.093/6.416 (Paris/London/etc. has the white level; other cities like Brussels, The Hague or Milan only get to grey).
Ah, but there's a certain cachet that comes from partnering with major figures who've been caught with their hands as explicitly in the cookie jar as were Kurz's. And on camera, no less.
> how do I know that isn't their personal phone?

Why would that be a concern to you?

Either way you pay, get receipt, take your goods, and leave. It's not like you are stealing.

Are you worried the clerk would MITM your payment and leave you without normal return/refund policy, since it wasn't a legit transaction?
I installed Arch on my mid-2012 mbp and it was quite painless. the only thing that did not work out of the box was wireless, but after installing proprietary drivers, it worked.

even multihead worked without issues, which made me quite impressed.
This explains in great detail about the OTHER officers on the scene before Derek Chauvin arrived and who Derek Chauvin was to them. He was their field officer that trained them. i.e. All the training they received at the academy went out the window and it was ALOT of pressure to just always do what your field officer says to do. The podcast goes into detail about the black officer and how he was raised by a white mom who "didn't see color." He had this wonderful, admirable desire to be a police officer and fix the system from the inside. But his best friend warmed him the system will change HIM, and it did.

Many of the people who built GDS now work for public.digital who help governments around the world to build these services.
Because in the mid 1970s Oldsmobile decided to produce a 350cu in(5.7litre) diesel based on the gasoline version of the engine. It failed spectacularly since it was not rugged enough to withstand the pressures of compression combustion. Plus GM had a crisis of quality at the time so it just sucked. While you could get German diesels all the while it was too expensive to be mainstream and most people's experience with diesel is that of heavy duty trucks. These are noisy, produce huge amounts of soot and are sometimes(note the word sometimes) driven by folks who must compensate for their manhood with such niceties as Calvin pissing on a different brands logo, taking the engine branding and making it a sexual double entendre, putting a giant 8" exhaust pipe in the bed(or more than one) or the ever popular set of testicles hanging from the bumper. So diesel suffers from an image problem here in the US.
Maybe the cash can be prioritized in terms of
1) Housing - a hotel kind of setup, where all need to pitch in somehow.
2) Daily healthy food vouchers - extra bonus if they are involved in food prep.
3) Full physical and mental checkups
4) Cash program for those are able to get off this, and earn their own living. This would get them started.
Yep, this is a great point. But as you say, it's hard to know if Chrome is actually doing anything substantively better or not since I don't actually know what they're doing. And from what I've observed through this process it seems like whatever they're doing isn't consistent.

For what it's worth, Firefox asks for an unminified source bundle during the submission process (including for all updates), and Chrome does not. This doesn't mean that anyone over at Mozilla is actually looking through that source, but it's an interesting difference.
That same year I was working at a mom and pop musical instruments store, and in our hallway we had a photo of Chick standing behind a keyboard with his pants unbuttoned.

As a 17-year-old who didn’t know anything about jazz, and I asked the owner what the story was behind the photo, and he said, “Robby, when you’re a legend you don’t have to button your pants.”

I think my issues are really with pip and it's dependency resolver. Give me conda every day, it may take a while but it handles compiled dependencies and doesn't break my environment without at least telling me.

If you manage a team, then you know how important it is to have the right tools to do just that. At the same time the benefits of using those tools must always outweigh the disadvantages.
I was under the impression that Apple chose to develop ALAC because it was less CPU/battery intensive to decode. This is going back to iPod Rev.1 days, mind you. Processing power for simply decoding audio CODECs hasn’t been a challenge for some time now.
No thanks, whatever economic benefit you gain will probably be spent enforcing the rules.
Yes, Swift is fundamentally imperative... but it has functional concepts littered throughout in ways that are obtuse, unhelpful, and unavoidable.
It's definitely not possible. These have to be rewritten with the specific autodiff /ML framework in mind.

Even then, you're not going to have fast custom types to be used on the GPU without dropping into C++
