Nope... it was a Reddit self-post (incl. people who put together the viral compilation video of her joke 'borrowing', breaking down why she's no longer as popular, and analyzing Netflix's timing and stated rationale).

I'm curious why you brought up Breitbart? I just googled it and found a ton of other (non-political/right-wing) sites which drew the same exact conclusion between Schumer and the ending of 5 star reviews. Are you trying to say her thousands of awful reviews were somehow political? Or that it's all just some "alt-right" right-wing conspiracy?

I saw Amy's show live, which she later filmed, and it was just awful. Those reviews were highly justified. And I used to be a big fan of hers before anyone knew who she was.

If Amy Schumer wasn't the original reason why they started to ditch 5-stars then it was most certainly a motivating factor to get it pushed out (conveniently right after her special was famously destroyed - which got widespread press before the switch over to thumbs). As it most certainly also faced internal resistance as they were basically abandoning a decade of 5-star reviews via user-generated-content, in favour of a vague Thumbs Up/Down.

Amy provided a perfect example of the inconvenient and conflicting goals which Netflix has as a producer and content platform. The timing of the release would have been HIGHLY coincidental if it wasn't related in some fashion.
I think the market for liquid-cooled desktops is pretty niche itself. It just happens to be a niche that Apple is not interested in. Whereas for the majority of people, a regular iMac is just fine.

Open source without reviews from security experts is as insecure as proprietary code without reviews.

And 1Password got plenty of attention and reviews, whereas Bitwarden did not.

Granted I’d prefer the open source solution when all other things are equal.

But I cannot trust Bitwarden with my data without hosting it myself and the current server implementation is expensive to host. Bitwarden copies LastPass as a model but I think that’s the wrong model to copy.

Things Learned from a Thousand Lines of Rust
Most of these GUI differences came during OVH's huge expansion around 2014. At that point they split into several "business lines" (kimsufi/so you start/ovh dedicated/ovh cloud...) that operate mostly independently, and hence the separate logins and interfaces. I'm not saying that it isn't a mess, because it is, but at least there's an explanation.

Also, part of the bad interface design seems due to them building public API's first and then the GUIs. This leads to the same kind of "impedance mismatch" problems that many frontend apps suffer where the backend functions aren't well suited to provide good UX. Of course this is also their fault for either not improving the APIs and/or not putting enough effort to work around the limitations in their GUIs. However, it has the upside that you have APIs for everything.

Also... we've been customers for a very long time, mainly of their dedicated server offerings. After dealing with their support a non-trivial number of times, our learned procedure is: just get a new server and migrate, without renewing the old one. Sadly, this also means that we don't trust any managed service from them.

Yeah, I had to write a proposal for a carbon capture project. It was really hard to make it make any sense from a systems perspective.

I conclude that talking about using it to reduce emissions from fossil plants is idiocy only useful for PR. You are always better off not burning the carbon in the first place and just getting the electricity from another source.

The only even remotely compelling case is that it lets the plant respond faster to load by dumping excess electricity into chemicals. And even there, it's not the best solution, it's probably better handled by the way we do it now with load-following plants.

I think the researchers know that, they talked about using renewable power for it. But I'm sure their estimates are also based on consuming coal flue gas because they have to goose the numbers to make the CO2 cheap and concentrated enough to make any sense. So my assumption with basically any of these is that they're setting up a paradoxical situation -- assume that we're using fossil power plants for the CO2, but getting the electricity/hydrogen from renewables. That way the chemicals look close to free.

But if we're still generating electricity with the fossil plant, it will always be better to just not use the plant from a CO2 and systems efficiency perspective and to instead build more renewable generation to make up the difference.
I've had ocular migraines for many years as well, maybe 10-15 per year. No pain either, but I've been unable to correlate their occurrence with any specific activity. They just (seemingly) pop up out of nowhere.
I recently set up a small cluster and can't figure out how to enable vrack (private networking) to the servers. The option is there in the UI, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure if that was a bug or you're supposed to contact support to set them up.
Is there a specific system for traffic sign detection? I'd have thought you could have a system that is dedicated to spotting traffic signs in the current country with a significantly higher accuracy than cat detection.

Even a small part of a sign should be enough. They're designed to be easy to spot.

It seems like we just set neural networks up to recognise all objects and assume they'll recognise simple objects too. However typically how humans learn is through simple cartoons first and then layer on top of that rather than the other way round.

This is the approach I take also. I'm also looking at totally disabling the OOM killer because it seems to be pretty useless. Anytime I see stuff killed by OOM the culprit is usually and obviously some runaway Java process, but OOM inevitably picks the SSH daemon to kill, which doesn't help anything, and the box continues to swap so badly that it just seems unrecoverable. I'd rather just have the box panic and reboot if it's truly out of memory.
What do you think the benefits of mandatory population control are?

Unless I misunderstand QALY, wouldn't n+5 years of misery not necessarily equal n years of actual quality life? assuming a base quality of 0 < k ≤ 1 with n years, and a calorie restricted life at quality 0 < k' < k with n+5, surely you'd end up at k * n QALYs for a normal life, and k' * (n + 5) for a calorie restricted one? Which might very well be lower given how large n is and how much smaller k' is than k.

Concretely: 85 years of misery is not 5 QALYs more than 80y of normal life.

Or am I missing your point, here?

I've seen this article mentioned on several sites. The title is terrible, misleading clickbait that seem to indicate that the Voyager 1 has been unresponsive for 37 years. What nonsense!

Not to mention that basically all the collected data and goals are centered on flue gas with high CO2 concentrations.

It's contradictory, if you have isolated fossil power and for some reason have excess renewable power co-located to convert the waste back to chemicals, then just turn off the fossil power... unless this is a load balancing play, which it is not ever going to be good for.

And the original oil and coal is better for converting to chemicals anyway!
So, is the iPhone full of these as well?

It's hard to tell, but with the application sandboxing in iOS, it is unlikely that any regular app could access log files.

AFAIK, on macOS, sandboxed applications cannot access logs either. But applications are moving out of the app store, because Apple hasn't really accomodated Mac developers.

I seem to end up building a lot of stuff on memory constrained devices for some reason. The OOM killer is always a problem, but it's easily avoided by provisioning an excessive amount of swap. It's slow, but slow is faster than never. Did you have any swap at the time?
I have a few dedicated boxes for almost 10 years now. I highly recommend it. I use it to run bitcoinity.org since it was created in 2011. Because of relatively big database (2TB) and many concurrent websocket connections (peaking around 20K) cost would be prohibitive elsewhere. Great uptime, instant responses, eKVM and blah blah I'm not their marketing team, I'm just a really happy customer.

I've tried OVH I think on two or three occasions, mostly VPS which was really sucked. But that was a few years ago maybe they got their s..ervers together.

I've used NFS for more than 10 years. Past a certain point, it does not scale. It's really good for smaller sites and not much else I feel.
But is it really unjustified? The statistics we have so far suggests that with the current state of self-driving cars they are significantly (about an order of magnitude) more likely to be involved in a fatal crash.

Maybe what we need is to put the brakes on the notion that self-driving cars are nearly ready for prime time and in a few years they will be all over the road. A level-headed review of the state of the technology suggests that is extremely unlikely. Except for people hanging around /r/futurology and to some extent here on hacker news, who are perhaps too close to technology to really appreciate it's limits in the practical world.

It would probably be for the best if the enthusiasts and the companies rushing headlong towards this new driving paradigm put forth some effort to tone down the hype.

Hi HN,

I have been working on this job board for blockchain related tech jobs and i wanted to show it to you.

I recommend DownBeats earplugs. They are tiny and barely noticeable, which made me so much more likely to wear them to shows. Nice little carrying case too.
I don't get it, why?
You mean a web extension, not a plugin.
Absolutely, though I thought it was due to my earplugs. Then again, they're standard supermarket stuff so I have no idea how they "colour" the sound.

RSS is good enough for what it was made for and most of the parser libraries and software parse both Atom and RSS (all 0.9, 1.0 and 2.0). Atom vs RSS caused enough trouble already ( https://indieweb.org/RSS_Atom_wars ) and the solution is definitely not JSONFeed, just to break all previous feed reader implementation.

Let us accept that any parser lib should be able to deal with RSS and Atom, and move on.

Why not just an RSS aggregator program / app? Like those which preceded and continued after Google Reader. They're no more difficult to use, you just add feeds and the program does the rest. And no login required.

It seems odd to me to take a federated protocol, centralise it in a proprietary system and then shrug and forget RSS when that goes away.

I was on Akgregator for years, then Bamboo in Firefox, now on QuiteRSS now that Quantum has killed Bamboo. All using the same imported OPML file of feeds.
It is obvious he didn't watch Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson shat on many many cars, just ask Renault or Peugeot.
Firefox used to display and RSS icon in the url bar if the site had a feed, allowing you to subscribe you to "live bookmarks" - feeds: http://johnbokma.com/firefox/rss-and-live-bookmarks.html

This is completely hidden from the UI by now.
There are definitely some issues with files ending up with contents of other files, particularly with sparse files and nearly full disks, presumably due to new allocations not being zeroed. Hard to replicate, but not impossible. We filed a bug and it was closed as a duplicate. Possibly fixed in todays 10.3.4 release, can't confirm yet.
Not sure what Full article means since I wasn't on feedly for so long but I guess you mean only what the feed exposes to you (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/rss there's always only Comments link). But if I say mobilized content in inoreader it downloads the website, parses it and shows it to me https://i.imgur.com/b09hh6Y.png

> Google reader was introduced

Ah, a good point. This was a blip on my radar because, oddly, I had RSS and wasn't as plugged into Google at that time as I am now [yet am still 'on' RSS now more than ever].
Same here:

I tried all those services, then gave up on RSS, then found Feedbro a while ago and now I use that.

(I mainly use it for work purposes: following updates from relevant projects, issues from selected github repos and a couple of people who write useful stuff about tech I use.)
> The car will save the last 60 seconds so the manufacturer can analyze it to debug and figure out what went wrong.

Ideally, this would be sent to the NTSB as well to determine if they need to issue a recall and possibly also shared with the public if the car's owner is okay with that.

Issuing a bug report to the manufacturer is fine if the manufacturer is being responsive, but fixes take time and large companies don't always put a high priority on fixing bugs. Sharing bug information more widely increases their accountability and I think potential buyers have a right to know about safety-critical flaws before they buy a car.
As others have said, over the ear wear helps a lot. Using a shirt clip to attach them to your shirt also helps. My etymotic IEMs came with such a clip.

Using both of those techniques makes the microphonics go from intolerable to barely noticable for me which is great because I wear them for 4-8 hours a day.
I'm not sure how much of that is about the car versus the driver. Volvo drivers are some of the most slow, excessively cautious, annoying (to others) drivers on the road.
Apart from all the good discussion on hearing loss... now I’m thinking about “safer” toilets.

Why are lids made from ceramic anyway? I get why the bowl is, but the lid? Beyond the loudness / hearing loss issue, it’s just so darn heavy!
Did their Android app ever get any better? I used it from when Google Reader shut down until a couple of years ago, but always had horrible trouble with Android client (lots of people reported it being fine, but I think the differentiator was number of feeds - I had lots of feeds) getting into weird loops where it would just cycle through the same 10 stories.
There’s a very high chance that the driver would have been fine if they had been actively driving. How would you think about this if the brakes failed? The steering system? Just because there are other accidents it doesn’t mean that Tesla can’t potentially be blamed for killing this person because of the low maturity of their system.

When Google Reader died Feedly was the easiest alternative to switch to.

For a few years I continued to use third party clients for reading, as most of them transparently supported Feedly the same way as Google Reader.

Lately I've just started using Feedly directly, and I don't have too much of an issue with it.

I should note, I rarely use the web interface. Since around 2009 I've used mobile apps for my news feeds.

I started using Mozilla briefly after it was officially called that; I remember waiting forever for it to download over an ISDN line.
