It's increasingly becoming clear that at least some part of the IQ is inheritable and that IQ has been falling for last 2 decades or longer as if the high IQ populace has lost their reproductive edge, probably artificially? Contraceptives are increasingly being used and women have the equal right so no one can force a woman to bear his child. Countries being analyzed have some form of welfare, so no one dies starving. Vaccines and expert help are easier to come by and the internet also helps here a lot. All this means, high IQ probably can help you earn millions but low IQ does not mean you die. Also, today high IQ populace is easier to discover, reward and keep busy with exciting work, so maybe they are no longer finding time to reproduce. And the ones who do not possess high IQ have plenty of time to have kids and take care of them. We've drastically changed the environment in which we live, so obviously, there will be some consequences. Then also our environment has evolved enough that we no longer need high IQ to survive.
How to Use CakePHP as the Back-End for Android Applications
The only long term solution is to create law that scuttles these kinds of articles in the future. When you play on the defensive you are leaving the definition power to the copyright lobby.
I believe that cake cutting would improve on the current situation, when it is the incumbents of one party cutting and choosing, but it is not a full solutions to all the problems in the space.
Next up: suing Google because "Wear OS" and Android Auto also uses these APIs to allow responses from the watch/car?

The whole _point_ of implementing these APIs is to allow the user to reply using a different app; replies direct from the notification on the device itself are a hook to encourage developers who don't care about the rich integrations to allow that functionality anyway.

And that's one of the things I really like about Android: "platform" apps like WearOS don't use private APIs, they use public APIs so other developers can build on platform features. I have seven apps installed that ask for notification access, five I've granted.
With such laws as this, and giant cookie consent banners, I'm surprised Brexit wasn't/isn't more popular.

Show HN: Generate your og:images automatically
I have heard that many Chinese people think they have great freedom of speech...
Hello Hacker-Newsers!

I’m Armin, co-maker of Placid. We deliver Social Images as a Service: Placid lets you generate nice Share Images for Twitter and Facebook via our API. (And more Social Image Formats soon!)

Here’s how it works:

1) Choose a preset design from our library.

2) Customize your template with default values for colors, text, photos / logos.

3) Integrate the meta tags into your project.

4) Change parameters of the Image URL in the meta tag to dynamically fill elements of the template. You can f.ex. generate your blog article’s title on to the image or fill a browser window with a screenshot of a website.

We started building Placid as a tool to automate Social Image Generation for our own projects and we figured it’s something that other people could use too. For now, we concentrated on providing Meta Images, but we’re already testing Placid for other use cases, like generated Pinterest Images. So we’ll soon add:

* An editor to create templates from scratch (and with custom Image Dimensions)

* More options to customize Presets

* More Presets (also for Instagram Posts and Stories, Pinterest Pins, Facebook Posts,..)

We’d love your feedback and suggestions for missing features or preset options :)

Armin
It's humbling to read about his life and the many major figures in the abolitionist movement. Those men and women really deserve respect for how visionary and open minded they were in a world of close mindedness.
And the way things are going it's looking like Britain will be brexiting in name only.

I would say destroying random things for laughs is chaotic neutral. You do random chaotic things not for pleasure or pain. He isn't doing it for a specific reason but because he can. That's neutral.

A chaotic evil would be destroying out of greed or hate.
You can’t really use Dropbox for that because they’ll disable access to files that cause too much bandwidth usage.
Thank you! I did not even know it could do that!
Yes, and I still remember how they tried to adopt software patents, without a vote, at a fishery meeting on 24 Jan 2005. So be on the lookout for any similar fishy business.

Though in that particular case the "fishiness" led to rather a lot of journalists reporting on the general hilarity of the situation, which probably helped it fail. The bad guys will have learnt from that and will probably avoid any obvious fish-connections in future.
Not quite the analogy I was alluding to. Ie. not so much "FRP in C++" as "C++ : OOP :: ___ : FRP."

Though I grant you that C++ could just as easily wind up filling both blanks.

What is this, fox news? Socialism is most certainly not "unlimited government control and taxation of everything and everybody" and this is most certainly not what the colonists were escaping. This is a broad brush, romantic, red meat, not provable to anyone who is not willing to invest the time to read to confirm, but well written position similar to what what fox news frequently uses. Pilgrims wet not escaping socialism, they were escaping monarchy. This is so stupid.
Just mirroring the thread here in case the Discord Inc. overlords decide they don't like the bad PR.

Title: Ripcord - unofficial native Discord client. No Electron, no rounded userpics (Staff reply)
>> This sounds like a good way of getting your account banned, or am I mistaken about the API rules?
> You are not mistaken. We do not support 3rd party clients, and they are not allowed per our ToS/API ToS. (Staff Reply)

This is honestly unacceptable.

On this page here: https://discordapp.com/open-source

You claim that "Discord ️ Open Source". If this were true, than Discord Inc. would recognize that not all Open Source developers run x86_64 machines, and of those that do, not all of them use glibc as their system standard C library.

The fact that both Discord's standalone desktop application (which uses Electron; a resource hog on its own) and the in-browser version of the app are both massive resource hogs prevents those who are not well off and do not have modern computer equipment from using the service.

Additionally, Discord's web application fails to successfully function in most Linux web browsers that I've found. This includes Firefox ESR and Otter on x86_64 using musl libc. Text chat hardly works in Firefox, as the entire interface goes blank and acts like it's refreshing on a fairly regular basis; the login page doesn't even load in Otter. To even think that voice chat would function under these circumstances is a straight up joke; and sure enough, voice chat fails to function for reasons OTHER than the one stated above on both ALSA-only AND PulseAudio configurations: I cannot get it to detect my microphone (granted, Firefox's terrible, or rather, complete lack of an audio configuration interface is probably more to blame here)

The fact that Discord Inc. is threatening to ban users who use 3rd party clients just adds insult to injury. If Discord Inc. is really not willing to provide open and portable solutions to use their service to their users, they should at least allow 3rd parties to offer such solutions. The entire stance of "YOU MUST USE OUR CLIENT" makes me have one of two thoughts: 1. Discord Inc. is embedding Information Gathering code into their own clients, and wants to make sure that they can collect and sell information on ALL of their users; 2. Discord Inc. is not confident in the reliability and robustness of their server infrastructure, and therefore wants to limit which applications hit their _public_ API's.

Long story short, what I'm seeing here is a complete lack of customer obsession; it really seems like Discord Inc. doesn't actually care about their users.

Sure, I'm actually in the same camp on that one!

However, most apps are not ecommerce apps that will have a measurable benefit from speeding up particular views.
For an example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission-type_tactics

If you have only non-thinking slaves you are done the moment anything doesn't go to plan. Instead of working with the situation the whole operation would come to a halt until people could reach their superiors to find out how to proceed. They would probably be dead by then.
I would argue that if a game is meant to make dying fun, it isn't a roguelike. The purpose of death in roguelikes is to add the sense of gravitas, as you say. The fun aspect of death is accidental at best.

Perhaps a good analogy is with horror movies. Horror movies are meant to scare you. Horror movies can often be funny. But a movie that was intended to be funny is not a horror movie, it's a comedy.
To achieve such effect as presented above you need to use Server-Sent Events (SSE)

I was wondering whether it is possible to achieve the same effect without client side JS, perhaps with HTTP2 push?
For anyone wondering how is this possible I've made a quick research and the method is in the description part of this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufq2Eb78kSU

In short, Youtube API's resume upload function can be abused to achieve this.

This isn't SOPA/PIPA, where the entire thing is bad and should be just tossed in trash.

This is a copyright reform that needs to be adopted (its main purpose is to reduce inconsistencies in copyright laws across EU countries), and the fight is against two very specific articles (11 and 13) in the current version of it, through which there was an attempt at doing something bad for the Internet.

That doesn't mean that the entire copyright reform is just rotten to the core. You'll notice that nobody asked for the entire thing to be abolished, just for those two articles to disappear.

Anti-trust laws need to stop obviously dominant players from buying up competitors.

Facebook should have never been allowed to buy WhatsApp and Instagram - especially Instagram. It would've been so much better if Instagram got to be the main independent competitor (or even purchased by another company) to Facebook, than Facebook owning it.

Facebook will keep making tens of billions of dollars in the coming years, even if it's engagement drops - but Instagram may keep growing. So does that mean Facebook will be able to purchase future competitors to Instagram, too?

Screw that. It shouldn't be allowed. In fact, I think we need a law that says automatic anti-trust protection is activated on any company purchases over say $500 million.

Google should have never been allowed to purchase Admob, either. They almost rejected the deal at the time, but still ended-up letting it through. And of course all of these telecom mergers shouldn't be allowed either.

It's a private institution. So long as it doesn't accept public money or break any discrimination laws, it should be allowed to keep its admission process private. Does anyone honestly think George bush was admitted because of his grades? Let's find something meaningful to be outraged about. We are never going to win this one and it's not worth fighting.
What I'm reading is that they'll mostly just adjust some part of this proposal until it does pass; whether Article 11 or 13 make it (which are the most controversial) then is to be seen.

Yet, I'm worried now that those articles were just ludicrous distractions for the real problem. That is, it shouldn't pass without those articles, but those that would oppose it normally would now vote in favor of it because "at least it doesn't have those articles anymore".

like how [politics] the current political climate and news coverage is pushing what used to be extreme-right standpoints more towards the more acceptable political middle. As in,"well at least we're not separating kids from parents anymore"[/politics]

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, I think your comment is spot on

> People do move from Juul to more advanced setups, and yes, they step all the way down to 12 or 6 mil (nicotine) off the bat and likely go down to 3 mil after a few months.

That's certainly true for me, started vaping few months ago at 12 mil, switched to 6 within two weeks, trying 3 now.

50 mil is insane, there is absolutely no way you'll ever get hooked off nicotine and if it's true that they don't offer lower nic alternatives that's just insidious (and no different to what the tobacco industry has done for decades)

EDIT: I should preface my little rant by saying that this post is one of the best I've seen at explaining the basic concepts of Kubernetes. But obviously I'm not an expert :)

> The Kubernetes API should now be available at http://localhost:8001, and the dashboard at this rather complicated URL. It used to be reachable at http://localhost:8001/ui, but this has been changed due to what I gather are security reasons.

I was playing around with GCE Hosted Kubernetes about a year ago, and things were pretty clear as far as I recall. I've read lots of positive things, and figured it's a good way to start.

Then I tried again recently, and I couldn't even get to the dashboard. Eventually after several cryptic StackOverflow copy&pastes I managed to load it (don't even remember how), only for the session to expire after 10 minutes or so... It was utterly frustrating. I didn't actually get to the more interesting part I was planning to play with as a result...

People say that there's a learning curve, and I get it. And also I'm not even trying to install Kubernetes on my own, but try to use a hosted service. I'm also pretty switched on when it comes to security and trying new things (or I'd like to think I am), but there are some things that feel like too much of an obstacle for me unfortunately.

Youtube is a different beast, of course, but that's why the powers that be pushed EME down our throat (and maybe it doesn't yet but it WILL require protected media paths and stuff in the future). Once EME is reasonably well done and prevalent -- we'll have to download youtube through the analog hole.
Stunning read particularly the part about colonist cutting and selling trees marked for the government to smugglers and feathering tax collectors. America has always been the wild west and Americans have always been wild folks, they just civilised themselves somewhat mostly due to the immense wealth they got after world war two, hence the surprise I get when people are surprised they do things like Iraq and the whole middle east expedition or when people are amazed at their strong gun rights.
Legal grey area; iirc MP3.com operated on a similar premise and got burned to the ground. I believe there was also a company that had racks of video or dvd players and would stream the movie over the internet, claiming similar protections.

Of course, in a nutshell Netflix is doing the same, only legally. Those companies were too early and too dodgy.
