> It's the most obnoxiously American attitude imaginable to ignore this issue because it doesn't affect them...

As an American I can fully confirm that 3/11/2011 is obnoxiously ambiguous. It affects us. But most Americans (particularly outside of science / engineering fields) are too thick-headed to recognize the problem or think about ways to improve it.

So I do what I can. I don't even ask what time format something belongs in. I just write ISO8601 by default. If someone complains then I point them to the international standard and ask whether we want to be an internationally standards-compliant company.

One manager said that our customers aren't international. It was a reasoned argument and I like having customers. But all others drop the argument at "international company" and "standards-compliant"
I've heard this said quite often but don't believe it to be effective from my personal experience. Granted, the majority of my adult life has been in Asia. But the millionaires I know dress like utter slobs and live in humble residences. (One drove an Aston Martin, but I didn't see his car until we became very close - maybe one or two years after becoming friends.)

This is absolutely not the process working.

It took 3 people months of work to debunk a claim.

These resources just don't exist in reasonable numbers and we absolutely need short, piercing, direct call outs that quickly demonstrate that fuckery is going on.

Feelings are the worst thing that has happened to science.
It has to be done in secret, by purely good intentioned third party that has some sort of leverage over the people in power.

This group should have one sole purpose of dosing the people in power and otherwise not be allowed to have any further influence.

Until our selection mechanisms choose the purest intentioned people rather than expedient and selfish profiteers, the people in power will be driven to optimize objective functions that aren’t conducive for humanity. In the short term, the best way to fix this would be to reveal what is truly happening around them and force them to confront the consequences of their actions and lack thereof.

This is very different from the game they have become so familiar with and content with playing.
RISC-V was designed to to be a teaching ISP. A minimal RISC-V is not so different from MISP. I don't think you lose much.
This is still nothing to do with a company not treating you as a friend. You're not their friend; they aren't yours, and that's normal.
"How to raise funds"
Yes, this article is long on alarmism and short on serious critique:

> The design of the form does not match the design of either the merchant or the issuing bank. The design looks ‘cheap’. It doesn’t look trustworthy.

> No telephone number. When a user sees a telephone number it gives them a feeling legitimacy. They may not phone, they just want to see the number just in case.

> The calls to action at the bottom of the page really don’t work. ‘Submit’ is rather generic and does not give an indication of the next step. ‘Cancel’ gives no indication what will happen next and really should be removed.

> There is still very little recognition by users. Visa and Mastercard have done a poor job of marketing and raising awareness.

> The text is American "Expiration date" should be "Expiry date"

> Once the customer has overcome all 11 of those issues they can purchase. 11 issues. 11 serious issues.

Serious issues? Let's tally: cheap design, no phone number, button names, lack of marketing, bad copy. These are not serious issues that make a technology "broken" -- at least, not in the sense that, say, MD5 is broken. The points about the phone number, cheap design, and lack of marketing should not even be in this list.

And then there is this gem, from the guy who is going to fix our "broken" security technology:

> Firstly, the URL, well that’s an easy one, embed the page within an iframe. It does of course mean one can’t check the security certificate but hey, who ever does this?

Oh, I see.
Wikipedia page about the Ingenuity helicopter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingenuity_(helicopter)

I didn't realise it was so large (1.8 kg, 1.2 m diameter rotors). I suppose it has to have the large rotors to be able to generate lift in the thin atmosphere, 1/160th of the density [edit: pressure, not density - thanks Robotbeat] of the earth's atmosphere at sea level according to the article.

Two of the "founders doing other things" sites are still useful to me. Snipshot is the easiest online editor for simple cropping that preserves the aspect ratio. Anyvite is the only service I know of that puts event details in the email. I get annoyed at evite.

Expecting immigrants to cut ties with their countries is completely wrong. It may be hard for some people to understand, but a person can belong to more than one nation.

In my case, I am proud to be American, but I am also proud to be Tunisian. My extended family is in Tunisia and I love the country, so I make sure to visit regularly. And I will be sure to teach my children about Tunisia, its culture, its language, and its cuisine.

Over a few generations, this dual identity usually declines, simply because successive generations feel less of a kinship to their original country.
Wow. Didn't know that. That should more than compensate for a very slight increase in code size for ARM64 vs X64.

When I use M1, AWS Graviton, or even older Cavium ThunderX chips I can't help but think that X86 is on its way out. The advantage is something you can subjectively see and feel. It's obvious, especially when it comes to power consumption.

Process node has something to do with it, but it's not the whole story. I'm typing on a 10nm Ice Lake MacBook Air and while this chip is better than older 14nm Intel laptops it's still just shockingly crushed by the M1 on every metric. 10nm -> 5nm is not enough to explain that, especially since apparently Intel is more conservative with its numbering and Intel 10nm is more comparable to TSMC 7nm. So it's more like TSMC 7nm vs TSMC 5nm, which is not a large enough gap to account for what seems to be at least 1.5X better performance and 3X better power efficiency.

Some of the X86/X64 apologists remind me of old school aerospace companies dissing not only SpaceX and Blue Origin but the whole idea of reusable rockets, trying to convince us that there's little economic advantage in reusing a $100M rocket stage that consumes ~$100-200K in fuel per launch.

Is it? If GCP are launching an even more managed version of their managed Kubernetes because the current one is too complex for some, i'd say it isn't that hands off, even with a managed service.

It's gotten drastically better, but updates are still serious work ( point in case, all cloud providers bar Scaleway are usually multiple versions late)
Same reason baseball teams don’t raise season ticket prices to the levels sold by scalpers.

I am kind of suspicious of Plaid stage managing their coverage on HN. I've had a Plaid employee recommend Plaid to me on a comment on a different finance related thread. If it was recommending a tool or utility it would have been fine,but recommending a paid service of your employer looks very close to commercial solicitation.

This article, and some top comments, are shifting the narrative to how we must not "demonize" China, and must work to deal with lab leaks in future, in effect, presuming the assumption that China is unequivocally to blame, covering it with the mere color of reasonableness and fairness. So with such careful narrative massaging, we get to hold onto our desire to pretend China is 100% to blame, but frame it reasonably.

This sort of bias, or propaganda, or narrative massaging, under the guise of reasonableness, and non-demoization is pernicious.

These sentiments are like, we can frame our China-blaming as reasonable, via pretending the assumption[0], so under the guise of "not demonizing China", "giving credit were due but still holding to account" we can hold onto our excuse to blame China, we can pretend the assumption that China is unequivocally to blame.

Bullshit. Unhelpful, bs. If you want to pretend that you are doing this under the guise of actually discovering the cause, you can to satisfy your own need to pretend that, but it's dishonest, and not actually helpful to discovering the cause.

Blaming the enemy of the day for the pestilence of the season is as old as the hills, and makes boring, and biased, history. And makes you all propagating such cant, useful idiots, manipulated puppets.

Also, how is everyone forgetting the childhood lesson that the one so eager to point the finger of blame is often the one with something to hide, so desperate to deflect suspicion away from themselves?

It is possible, and people are fine with it. Otherwise, either a) the housing would not exist, or b) there would be more local job opportunities.

If there is demand for jobs locally and an economy to support it, they can start their own company.

If there is no economy to support it, then the community isn’t viable.

This is straightforward to understand, and not a problem to be solved. And certainly not one to be solved through stage violence.

What you say is correct, but a bit over-the-top. Compared to broken hyperlinks, concerns over missing Flash content is pretty small. It's at least conceivable to automatically load some JS-powered Flash implementation, but if a link's target isn't available in an archive, there's no way to get it back.
A cursory read of your own link would have told you that the new Data Protection Regulation is not yet in force and so the figure you quote is incorrect.

The problem with disabling javascript by default and making it opt-in, is that most users expect things to just work.

If you want to disable javascript yourself, fine, but don't degrade the experience of the web for everyone.
I think you'll see that this is not true anymore. 60% of Singapore did not vote for the opposition in 2011 because the majority of Singaporeans are afraid.

The PAP that you describe is no longer alive. It is one in which some of its top members are messaging me (a known volunteer for the opposition) and giggling with me over Amercians' perspectives of Singapore as seen on Hacker News.
Javascript is the worst example you could've picked. The only thing "good" about it is that it is implemented in every browser on every platform, and as such available to every programmer of every age. The language itself is actually quite bad, which is why you get so many people trying to make languages that transpile to it.
Yea see thats a pain but the concept is great. To turn everything into a json feed. There has to be a better way of doing though that js scrapers.

Allow me to quote at length from ET Jaynes' book, "Probability: The Logic of Science."

> A common error, when judging the effects of radioactivity or the toxicity of some substance, is
to assume a linear response model without threshold (that is, without a dose rate below which there
is no ill e ect). Presumably there is no threshold effect for cumulative poisons like heavy metal
ions (mercury, lead), which are eliminated only very slowly if at all.

> But for virtually every organic
substance (such as saccharin or cyclamates), the existence of a finite metabolic rate means that
there must exist a finite threshold dose rate, below which the substance is decomposed, eliminated,
or chemically altered so rapidly that it has no ill effects. If this were not true, the human race
could never have survived to the present time, in view of all the things we have been eating.

> Indeed, every mouthful of food you and I have ever taken contained many billions of kinds
of complex molecules whose structure and physiological effects have never been determined, and
many millions of which would be toxic or fatal in large doses. We cannot doubt that we are daily
ingesting thousands of substances that are far more dangerous than saccharin, but in amounts
that are safe, because they are far below the various thresholds of toxicity. But at present there is
hardly any substance except some common drugs, for which we actually know the threshold.

Great podcast. It fizzles out a bit in the end, but still well worth a listen.

FWIW the podcast ends up being more of a critique of MLM schemes in general rather than Ruja Ignatova herself (although she is certainly a crook).

The last episode is also interesting as it highlights the motivations of the whistleblowers- these people are mostly speaking out against OneCoin because they are promoting competing sh*tcoin schemes rather than because of any objection in principle to the idea of marketing rubbish to vulnerable people.

See also "The strange religion of cryptocurrency", where the same journalist talks about OneCoin (and money in general) as a religion. Very interesting. https://audioboom.com/posts/7386285-the-strange-religion-of-...

Every session, at close, I make peace with the existing styles and tell the perfectionist in me that it'll never be perfect but will eventually get close.

Well I would say that web search takes good care of SNR. So far no troubles finding interesting stuff.
They did. This is part of the story.
OpenCL is decent, and although it's deprecated, it's probably going to continue working for years. It's not as nice as CUDA for direct programming, but don't most people access CUDA through higher-level libraries anyway? You probably would not be able to tell whether those use OpenCL or CUDA behind the scenes.
That doesn't make the point that @BrianHenryIE was trying to make though does it?
Isn't the incentive to answer those kinds of questions mostly intrinsic? I mean, the interesting questions and answers are more likely to be given exactly because they are so. The extrinsic reward is then complementarily useful for the opposite questions: the ones that are not very interesting but important nonetheless, such as the case of a reference to a cryptic documentation.
The earliest stick welding equipment was a room full of lead acid batteries. You only need about 24-48v for welding, tesla batteries are closer to 400v but I am sure they could find a way.
Yeah that makes sense. I think I’m similar, I’m not a cliche dev. In fact I try to stay away from tech as much as I can when I’m not working.

I’m trying to figure out if I want to move into a different role. I guess that as long as I can build something which would take me to product-market fit then that’s all I currently want to get out of being a Dev.
I guess Waymo will take it over in that case.
I agree. I'm deeply suspicious of Cohen. He has used 'comedy' to trick and ridicule people but taken it to another level by taking statements they make and twisting meanings. A religious jew disguised as a visitor to the US from Kazachstan going to a provincial US bar and singing 'throw the jew down the well' and then subsequently openly ridiculing and shaming the audience for singing along is a form of baiting and hate speech, the sort of thing the ADL should be commenting on. I'm surprised Kazachstan hasn't officially protested this misrepresentation, maybe they have....

I don't see the parallel to Gates. Bill Gates wasn't always popular because many people hated Microsoft at the time. I don't think there was ever concern that he treated workers wrongly or abused the tax system to get rich. I don't buy that Gates set up the foundation just to improve his image. He is really invested in these topics.

For Bezos that could very well be true. Interestingly enough Amazon used to have a really positive public image until about 1-2 years ago. If he had quit any earlier, maybe his image would be much better now.

At this point what would be interesting would be some framework that doesn't use vdom. :)

Kinda sad how little diversity of foundational concepts of the framework there is these days.
