The question is, by pulling out of China as some sort of business virtue signal, is the outcome an improvement? China doesn't need Apple and not complying with China without pulling out isn't an option.

Let's say some major Chinese company pulled out of the U.S. market because of the Iraq War, would the reaction of U.S. citizens, even those opposing the war, be positive? Wouldn't politicians use it as an instrument?

Make no mistake, scary stuff is going on in China, but the solution has to come from within China. In fact, by explicitly supporting the opposition in China, any accusation of "evil foreign influence" is substantiated.
I'm sure they'll be willing to revisit this decision once they finish crippling the extension API.
I don't think people are this naive by accident: Google, Facebook, etc. have been pushing this idea for a long time. It has always been unrealistic but I don't think we can blame the average consumer for taking the statements of Google at face value.
The majority of content that is watched on Youtube is monetized and people do depend on it to some degree. If they didn't, then they wouldn't be on Youtube, because there are plenty of other services that offer you the ability to upload videos for free.
Alright, cool. Now all the pedophiles can lurk in secrecy and collect all the recordings and repost them on pedophile websites, and YouTube can pretend it has nothing to do with it because none of the offending comments are under the videos making it abundantly obvious who views these videos.

This isn't a moral panic, I don't know why people push that line anytime racists or pedophiles are even mildly inconvenienced.

Advertisers left Youtube because people left creepy and sexually suggestive comments on some videos, and Youtube responded to preserve ad revenue. No one was clutching their pearls over this.

No it does not. Sweden probably is less likely to horribly abuse the data to incarcerate and execute citizens for disagreeing with the government, but the goal of the policy would be the same - to make all data about the person subject to the state's control. Swedish government might not be abusing this control right now, but nobody can guarantee it won't in 15 years.

You need to control the direction of the freezing. As water freezes it will push the dissolved air out, and if it's freezing inward from the outside faces (like a normal ice cube tray) those bubbles end up pushed inside your ice block.

Using a cooler means the sides and bottom are insulated from the cold and won't start freezing as quickly. As it freezes top down there won't be any bubbles stuck there.

Ask HN: What project/startup ideas do you have that you're unsure about?
I'll start, I have a few. In each case I'm unsure whether it's viable. I'm afraid to waste my time.

--CS lessons for high schoolers with a remote teacher. a high school would enroll in the program and the students would go the school's computer lab for class as if it were a normal class, but the lesson would be interactive and self-guided, akin to codeacademy's courses, and the teacher would be there through chat for helping people get past blocks/obstacles.

--community-driven code annotation of open source projects. like wikipedia, but for annotating and explaining the source code for projects like linux, django, react, etc, to help us all understand why code was written the way it was. educational on multiple levels.

--tech courses targeting recruiters. a lot of them seem to have a really weak understanding of the technologies they hire for, and I think there may be a market for helping them understand better.
Yes, insulation, but that's not without its problems either. If you're adding insulation to an old house you have to consider that the ventilation system in that house is probably gravity-based. What that means is hot air moves upward, through an unheated attic in the type of house I'm thinking of, and replacement air is pulled in through the breathable structures of the walls. When you insulate such a house heavily, that air intake is compromised and you lose ventilation. So for an insulated house you may need to add mechanical ventilation, which underpressurizes the house. You now need to add air vents, but if you don't have enough of them, replacement air may get drawn e.g. from the understructure of the house, pulling soil microbes into the air with it. Also, if you insulate in such a way that the breathability is compromised, you risk moisture problems, which lead to mold. In particular, adding modern fibreglass insulation to an old house is very problematic, because that type of insulation should not be allowed to draw moisture as it will not dry out and will grow moldy, and wood structures in contact with it may rot.

Basically, moisture control and insulation is a tough problem. In modern houses the solution is to have an airtight layer of plastic sheeting between the insulation and drywall, but those houses should also have been designed from the ground up to have an active, mechanical ventilation system.

Based on experiences here in Finland, a lot of such buildings built in the 60's and 70's have developed severe problems, and frankly even new projects seem to have issues all the time. The more you insulate, the more you have to take care that moisture does not gather in the insulation because you no longer have airflow that would dry it out.
An Introduction to Finite Difference
Yep. I'm still in the post-burnout recovery period, but at this point I'm very much considering making this a permanent decision.

1) Working at a fast-paced startup as an early employee. When I was in my 20s this was awesome. But as I'm in my mid-30s now, I couldn't really hack the 10+ hour days with the expectation that I also work weekends. There was all the "talk" about work/life balance from leadership, but that was total bullshit.

2) My wife was pregnant (and now we have a kiddo), and I recognized that I did not want to be working this hard as a new dad - I quit with no plan several months before our child's due date. I'm sure I would have been fired soon-ish with how my attitude had been souring.

In less than a few weeks, I had people asking if I wanted some contract/consulting work. I said yes, and have since slowly grown my billables to about 25 hours of work a week to have a sustainable salary.

Alternative: Use `gopass` which will generate OTP codes and can be used in conjunction with a Yubikey or other OpenPGP smartcard to keep the "something you have" factor in play. I made a PR that sees those codes available through the gopass browser extension, as well. It's pretty painless and is code and a security model that can be understood in an afternoon (though not my favorite and begs for a "RIIR").

This doesn't seem to be getting a lot of play, but isn't it important to note that YouTube has been generating ad revenue by serving this content to this audience? It seems like they are only stopping this practice because the amount of revenue that they will lose from Nestle, Disney, etc. exceeds whatever amount of revenue they had been generating by aggregating these videos and serving them to this specific audience.

Preventing the aggregation and serving of this class of content seems like the larger problem.

It's also not clear to me if the removal of the comments will prevent the aggregation of these videos. My suspicion is that even with the comments removed, these videos will still be grouped together and will still garner the same undesirable audience. I don't see any talk of somehow clearing whatever history Google has collected that has caused them to be clumped together in the sidebar.

A string is not that hard to remember when it is a password you thought up and have been using for 10 years. OK I cannot offer proof that most people would not write down their password, but surely some would not - and for those people having a separate User ID/password combination represents improved security. But anyway this is beside the point, which is that adding random characters to user credentials improves security - whether those credentials are 1 or 2 strings - and would have prevented this TurboTax attack.

Yes, using the haveibeenpwnd service offers some level of protection. But it still allows an attacker to breach a random website like funnycatpictures.com and find the email/password combinations that are not on haveibeenpwnd. Boom, that attacker has access to all those users' tax information.
Looks like the comments on that site need 2FA.
1- "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". My working schedule left me without spare time. Nine or ten hours a day answering calls about tech support, 4 in the morning, 1 or 2 hours lunch break and another 4 hours in the afternoon. Weeks starting a Wed until the next week Fri. Rest Sat, Sun, Mon and Tue and another 10 days round again. After around 13 or 14 months this way I went postal at the office. I was already burnt.

2- I left the job at HellDesk (HelpDesk). That was the first and biggest step to recover myself. Talking to a doctor, family and friends about the situation. My doctor prescribed me antidepressants and anxiolytics. I took me a bit long, but I'm much better right now.
> I find it odd that some things like slice reads can still panic by default. Yes, I can use `foo.get(1)` to avoid panics, but still - it's a bit odd to me.

Panicking is a perfectly good way to handle the situation where an invariant of the program is violated. That is, it is perfectly fine to index using [] in cases where there cannot possibly be an out-of-bound access unless the program has a logic bug. And if it does have a bug, there's usually not much that you can do except abort because you can't trust the program anymore.

On the other hand, if you know that your input might be OOB without violating a precondition, as a part of the normal execution of the program, and you can handle it gracefully, use `get` instead.

This distinction between "expected" and "unexpected" errors is an extremely valuable one, and one unnecessarily muddled by languages where all errors are signaled with exceptions. Rust gets it right.
I would love to have some kind of protocol standardized for this. Having done some work on build/packaging tooling for the ROS ecosystem, there are a bunch of cases where we we need to access a metadata file (for dependency resolution) or grab a tarball from a remote repo and end up having to have multiple implementations to handle the slight differences between Github, Gitlab, and Bitbucket, plus a fallback option that actually does a local clone, see:

Well, it is neglibie. Youtube has never been reported to be a profitable business. The last time its finances were reported a few years back it was basically ‘break even’.

"Break in case of stupid use of Twitter."
I read your entire post, and I didn't miss any of the points you make. I simply disagree with you.

Quoting from your post:

And here is my initial solution in UNIX shell:

# bentley_knuth.sh

# Usage:
# ./bentley_knuth.sh n file
# where "n" is the number of most frequent words
# you want to find in "file".

awk '
{
for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++)
word_freq[$i]++
}
END {
for (i in word_freq)
print i, word_freq[i]
}
' < $2 | sort -nr +1 | sed $1q

So you invoke awk, and then run the output of awk through sort and sed.

You're doing all the word counting in awk.

Yes, you're invoking awk from a shell script, but that's really not the same thing as "using shell." McIlroy’s solution is genuinely shell:

tr -cs A-Za-z '
' |
tr A-Z a-z |
sort |
uniq -c |
sort -rn |
sed ${1}q

"awk" is generally accepted as a full programming language, whereas "tr", "sort", "uniq", and "sed" are command line utilities. I don't think "awk" classes as a command line utility, so I don't class your solution as "shell".

Perhaps you don't agree, perhaps you think "awk" is a command line utility. If so, then we'll agree to disagree.

If you regularly cook savory foods in your Instant Pot, then the O-ring might have picked up the scent/flavor of that food. The first batch of yogurt I made had a faint "taco meat" taste for that reason.

Vinegar, lemon juice, etc. didn't work to get the smell out of the O-ring, so I ended up just buying another, which I use exclusively when making yogurt. Alternatively, you might be able to just take the O-ring off when making yogurt, since you don't actually need it to be sealed, but I haven't tried this.

There's been a video on yt about a real airline pilot reviewing the sully movie [0]. The comment section is filled with people from the field, pilots, turbine technicians, etc. Even Sully's Co-pilot Jeff Skiles HIMSELF commented on the video. While there are usually tons of low quality "upvote this comment if watching in 2019" things, this thread was wonderful. And I think if the comments were hosted on a different site e.g. some pilot specific website (there are probably such), or even twitter, I think I wouldn't have found those comments.

If your app doesn't require complex interactions with immediate feedback I would suggest using static HTML or a server rendered MVC framework.

I would like a Computer Science 102 book. I'm a self taught programmer and started learning through a couple CS 101 books (eg. John Guttag). Those 101 skills were enough for me to run an online business via python/django. However, I don't know what's next to make me a better programmer. I'm assuming learning algorithms is the next step, but I don't really know.
I interviewed with them in Oxford UK. The tech people there don't have a clue about the stress they cause the academic community. Only reason I knew is because my wife is an ex-academic. It is interesting however how there is never any astroturfing from their side, which would suggest even they know their position is utter toss and a drain on society.
AFAIR, the were also autogenning code from a Matlab model of the engine, and that's where the 10k globals thing is from. Like yeah there's technically C code that's doing that, but come on.
Everyone seems to be blaming Google, but can we acknowledge that this wouldn't even be a problem if people weren't jerks? The only reason Google even has to do anything is because people are posting predatory comments.
> Modern, newly built houses in Sweden

Also worth mentioning is that Sweden pushes a lot of retrofitting of older houses, not just new ones. In the 90's, triple-pane windows became a legally mandated standard, so every old apartment building that only had double-pane windows had to add a third pane somehow, or change out all the windows or whatever.

A lot of older buildings are also adding extra insulation, one complex I used to live in that was built in the 1940's did that after I moved out. They stripped off all the outer layers to get to the brick, added foam insulation blocks, and redid the plaster finish.

When I lived there, the complex did the mandatory energy certification and got a shit score, so that's why they had to do it.
