>You can't have your cake and eat it, in that you can't have a (relatively) free society with freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and not cater to pedofiles in some way.

Maybe, but you can still criticize a platform for a monetization algorithm that optimizes for pedophiles, collecting the cash and looking the other way. Although I think that, in doing so, we shouldn't absolve parents of their own responsibility, since often adults are pimping their children out for the views.
Speaking as an embedded developer (though not currently in healthcare), no device should be sold without the manufacturer's firmware. With that said, there are plenty of cases where the hardware is fine, but the software doesn't support things the customer needs for a whole variety of reasons. I don't see why people should be protected from themselves after the sale. Releasing more firmware as open source would be a good step towards cleaning up some of the hazmat-grade codebases out there as well.
Sometimes it's fun to leave things a little ambiguous. But, yeah, you figured it out.
Monetary policy without a fiscal policy to give it teeth is why Greece was able to use Germany's good credit rating to get a loan they couldn't repay.

And yes I believe the EU is becoming more like a federation. How do you think it isn't?

How is the central EU government deciding everything? The diesel laws in German cities aren't an EU law. France and Germany can't pass EU laws on their own.

My last point is based on belief. I cannot fathom why leavers in the UK believe the UK can be stronger alone. Or that the economy can grow without migrant workers and immigrants. Two are ALWAYS going to be stronger than one. And the EU has what, 27 member states (excluding the UK)?
I went on a bit of a research expedition to see if there was something that scaled better a general permutation instruction for SIMD machines. General permute scales at O(log(N)) in gate delay+ and O(N^2 * log(N)) in area, where N is the vector length. Its a full crossbar, but the fanout on the wires adds an additional log(N) factor in buffers.

For a while, it seemed like a set of instructions based on a rank-2 CLOS network (aka butterfly network) would get the job done. It scales at O(log(N)) in gate delay+ and O(N * log(N)) in area, and is very capable. Fanout is O(1). You can do all kinds of inter- and intra-lane swaps, rotations, and shifts with it. You can even do things like expand packed 16-bit RGB into 32-bit uniform RGBA.

But things like that SMH algorithm are definitely out of scope: Each input bit can only appear in at most one output location with the butterfly. So the cost to replicate a prefix scales at O(repetitions), which is unfortunate. Some algorithms based on using general shuffle are also relying on the use of PSHUFB's functionality as a complete lookup table, which the butterfly network can't do, either.

My conclusion was that you're basically stuck with a general permute instruction for a modern SIMD ISA, scaling be damned.

+ The latency scaling is somewhat misleading thanks to wire delay - they are both O(N) in wire delay.

I have a love-hate relationship with the game since I started playing with some old friends. The hero roster is really fun to work with, and the maps are amazing. I tried really hard to make friends in the game as well and did meet some decent people.

I do feel like a low level of frustration is built-in due to the default game mode. The gameplay oscillates between "stuck" situations where you're watching some limited resource slowly deplete (eg. attackers can't move past the chokepoint while time is running out, or defenders can't stop attackers from advancing the payload through the map), and "make-or-break" moments where you have to carry out some action in a single instant to win (eg. bursting through a chokepoint, or using an ultimate ability that only comes two or three times per match). There is no in-game balancing mechanism, so last-minute reversals of fortune are only possible using superior strategy and team coordinations. This requires a higher level of thinking that the game itself hinders by making the entire experience stressful for the losing team.

It creates this losing spiral where it's very easy to get so tilted that you have to stop playing to feel better. Go to any Overwatch-related forum and you'll find lots of advice for keeping a good attitude, but it usually boils down to taking a break when you feel tilted. If the best way to not be frustrated after playing is to stop playing, then the game itself is frustrating.

Compare this with (for example) Mario Kart, where the gameplay encourages reversals by awarding better items to lower performing players. This makes the tension equal for all players and therefore more fun, but less like a "sport".

Yes, that is true, but, remember that financial/profit incentives are not the same as economic incentives. Profit incentives tend to be necessary when the work needs to be done, but the utility of doing that work is not symmetric. I.e. mining on the bitcoin blockchain provides me no utility, but is needed to generate transaction blocks, and so the tokens provide me a financial incentive to mine. However, if I just buy a bitcoin, I have a speculative financial investment if the value of bitcoins goes up and that is my only purpose in holding them. If I plan to actually transact in bitcoins, then owning a bitcoin gives me an economic benefit: the ability to transact with it.

If the financial incentive of this blockchain is to create tokens that are meant to generate either financial incentives for nodes/miners and the tokens themselves are held as equity, then that's fine, but, those tokens don't seem to be a huge financial incentive right now. The alternative is that this blockchain offers economic incentives for developers because it solves problems in a useful and functional way. if it is useful and functional then it is not clear that it needs a separate financial motivator, and it is also not clear that having a financial motivator that has a value susceptible to speculative investment is even a good thing.

In short, why add a financial motivator if there can be an economic motivator? We do not expect separate financial motivators to use mySQL. In fact, I'd say a lot of the benefits of open source are that there are only economic/utility based motivators and not financial ones.

>"Homes, golf courses and parks may grow more acres of turf grass than U.S. farmers devote to corn, wheat and fruit trees — combined [..] 2005, researchers estimated there are 40 million acres of turf grass in the U.S., covering 1.9 percent of the land." - https://scienceline.org/2011/07/lawns-vs-crops-in-the-contin...

40 million acres for lawns in the US (2005), 357 million acres of land for crops (2007). However it is very surprising that we use significantly more land for lawns than for corn.
Also, chloramine is what gives a pool that "pool smell".
Plus, separating all of this infrastructure takes space, which in turn makes everything less walkable. In cities, there really need to be fewer car lanes for it to work.
Keep them in a separate pool or mandate pool diapers. Consider this thought experiment. You have a movie theatre where the people on the balcony may pee and that pee drips down on the faces of people below them. Would this be considered acceptable and would I be considered insensitive for complaining and insisting that those people wear diapers or else should not be in a place where their pee ends up in the faces of others? Why is it acceptable in a swimming pool?
Italy was unified in 1871, in part by force. And many parts of Italy still resent that and consider themselves Sicilian, Napolitan etc rather than "Italian".

I can't speak for Greece, but Italy is a really BAD example of a "naturally arisen" national identity. In fact the (now second party) Northern League's sole purpose until Matteo Salvini was to split Northen Italy from the south.
I guess I should also ask, why do you feel the need to have a partner? Do you want to reproduce? I know as living organisms most of us do. Maybe you could dive in deep and examine that desire and what purpose it serves.

All the code for our search engine is open source https://github.com/lbryio/lighthouse

You could also run your own search server if you don't want to use that one.

But that is only part of discovery. Another is built into the protocol. I can navigate to `lbry://bitconnect`, to see what has been published at that url. There is no way to spoof this part since it happens at the protocol layer.

Also if your interested, https://spee.ch/bitconnect. Spee.ch is a web wrapper for the lbry:// protocol. `spee.ch/url` will serve the same file as `lbry://url` (but is limited by different file types. There are more viewers in the app like a 3d file viewer.)
My issue is that authors often try to name and shame the companies as if they had some say. Companies should definitely reach out to Youtube or their marketing company to correct the problem but every single advertiser could have their ads shown before that video. That's how the ad network works.
I posted a comment on how to do this (without requiring root or installing 3p apps for Android 4 and above) here on a HN thread on AdGuard DNS.

Copy-paste from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18788410

For anyone running on Android 9 or later, navigate to

Settings -> WiFi and Internet -> Private DNS

Select Private DNS provider hostname

Add dns.adguard.com (DNS over TLS)

Click save.

Visit https://segment.com and you should see browser's 'Server not found' (disable existing ad-blockers or they might jump in and block the website anyway).

---

For anyone on Android 4.0 or later, consider using Intra [0] to use AdGuard DNS over HTTPS, if you prefer it over cloudflare's or google's.

Install Intra.

Open the app, click on Settings.

Choose customer URL and paste: https://dns.adguard.com/dns-query

Be sure to 'lock the app' to prevent it from being killed in the background, and enable 'Auto Start' for the app from installed apps settings page if on newer android versions that support it.

The companies with the most money that have been a long time can afford to buy their competition, buy influence in government and essentially rest on their laurels. I'd hardly call those companies the best.
Alright, I'm taking the karma hit. Why in the fuck is this on HN? How is this interesting to "hackers?" This is exactly the kind of click-baity stuff that HN is supposed to be known for not having.

While I'm on this tear, this long holiday weekend has been the absolute worst for one-liners, memes, and general low-effort pseudo-contributions. It's been amazing. My only constructive hypothesis is that the recent investment in reddit by a Chinese media firm has caused an exodus, and the refugees have ended up here. If so, can you fuckers knock it off? You're turning HN into actual garbage.

I got the impression that they might be some old dirt ore from the 1950s - back then, there were a ton of articles in magazines like Popular Science and Popular Mechanics (check 'em out on Google Books and the like) about the "new gold rush - for uranium ore".

Lots of people from all over drove out to the southwest with bucket and shovels, and tried to find this stuff in a (probably misguided) attempt to "strike it rich".

I'm sure more than a few just left their buckets of dirt sitting around Flagstaff and GCNP area - and they were found and moved around - and...

...here we are.

May or may not be true in this case - but I'm sure it has happened (and I am certain more buckets wait to be found).
Or maybe the massive increase in car usage, globally, has simply eradicated large percentages of flying insect populations?

I mean, think about it, for decades we've been building highways, which also have become increasingly more busy with car traffic. So not only did we increase coverage of these massive "fly swatters", we also keep increasing the rate at which they swat insects.

Doesn't need to be the only factor, but coupled with the massive use of insecticides, and the loss of natural environments, it might as well be a very contributing factor.

> Git is not most properly described as a command line program either. Git is a version control protocol/system for handling files across multiple locations. Github is just one of those locations

You're technically correct of course, but remember your audience (important pedagogical consideration). These are new grads that think git and github are synonymous. A slightly less technically correct but grokkable explanation is probably a better stepping stone toward arriving at a more correct understanding. You're description is abstract, which is harder to grok for most people than a concrete example. If you want to be more technically correct and therefore launch into a discussion about DAGs you're also not going to teach them anything.

Note: there are always exceptions, and a good teacher adapts to the audience. I'm referring to the very general case, not the exceptional case.

UK and Germany have both decided not to follow the US on this issue.

Huawei has been under silent scrutiny in the EU for a decade. Several EU countries, intelligence agencies and operators have inspected and monitored Huawei's hardware, software and traffic they generate and nothing has been found. It seems that the US intelligence has nothing either. They are naturally suspicious–as they should be–and understand the potential systemic risk, but have not found any clear evidence.

Buying base stations from Huawei is very manageable risk. Buying operating services or the most critical mobile networks management hardware and software is separate question. Some operators in Europe have made silent decision (= not declaring it publicly) to avoid buying certain things from China while allowing Huawei to compete in most of the infrastructure, like base stations and mobile phones etc.

Wow, this is really useful. It implies that people who believe in religions, are people who prefer to have an answer, even if it's wrong (even obviously so), rather than be in the ambigous and confusing limbo state of seeking for the correct answer.

Similar to how Nigerian Princes intentionally write bad grammar in order to target low-educated people who are more easily scammed.
Another user had a forward-thinking root idea that I think would be a good option for parents who legitimately wanted to share their family videos/let their kids send their friends videos.

Private social-network video hosting. Not outside-searchable. You can host your own or maybe pay for another host.

Only accessible by invite, etc. Parent configurable, permissions-based access for children (eg. Children cant send invites, only parents and approved members like elder children or trusted relatives).

Essentially, it wouldn't involve existing *tubes.
That’s not quite right. The Bill of Rights originally only applied to the federal government, until after the civil war when the 14th amendment was passed. Since then the clause in that amendment saying no one can be deprived of life or liberty without due process has been interpreted to mean most of the bill of rights also applies to the states. This ruling said as much for the 8th amendment prohibitions on excessive fines.

Thomas just wanted to use a different clause of the 14th amendment to achieve the same outcome.

Hmm I wonder how this will affect the other civil forfeiture practice of charging the item itself with the crime (eg: "United States v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency" [0]) where the owner of the property is never actually charged with a crime. Maybe this will stop that because without a conviction any fine could be considered excessive?

The logic behind these cases has always baffled me. How do courts get around due process requirements of seizing claimed property like that?

Do I need to list all the capabilities of some SoC even if I don't take any advantage of them? If a component has thermal sensors I'm not using do I have to list every one of them on the box?
Yeah. I've basically concluded that YouTube is either going to have to A) be replaced by something else with a lot less censorship or B) remove all advertisements, charge a $5/year subscription for access to more than 5 videos a month, or C) come up with some other non-advertising way of monetizing that I haven't thought of.

Case in point, as long as YouTube is beholding to the wims of advertisers, free speech is a dying thing on youtube. The same thing goes for how they are handling copyright strikes etc. They should be taking an aggressive stance to crack down on people who abuse the reporting system (e.g. ban an IP if it has X false reports, use the content ID system to actually detect whether it is fair use and whitelist those cases, which is easy to detect because it's based literally on how long the borrowed portion of the video is), instead of just assuming every report is 100% legit.
