VanderZwan has a link to various compression options in another subthread [1].

To be fair to lowtech magazine, the author does walk the walk, their office setup is powered off solar panels perched on the window ledges [2].

So I would hesitate to say it was green washing, rather than than just not finding the best compression technique.

Using flight data from two crashes?
Where I'm from (Ukraine) RSI is pretty much unheard of, and I only learned about it when I moved to the US (when I was 21). Interestingly not long after learning about it I've started experiencing pain in my wrists and started to get really worried about getting an RSI. One of my coworkers recommended Kinesis Advantage keyboard, so I bought it off ebay and started using it and the pain disappeared. Interestingly I've seen this keyboard quite a lot, off top of my head I think something like 5% of engineers were using it.

I'm not saying that RSI doesn't exist, but I'm now positive that in my case all those RSI-like symptoms were all in my head -- some kind of a nocebo (an anti-placebo) effect. When I was 27 I had to do an MRI of my hand for an unrelated reason (boxing injury), so naturally I asked them to do an MRI of my wrist since they'll be immobilizing my hand anyway [1]. So either my wrist was healed in those 6 years, or it was fine all along -- can't tell because I didn't have a "before" picture. Just in case, I explicitly double checked with another doctor if he was sure about my wrist and he said that my MRI could be used as a textbook example of a healthy wrist joint.

I am now wondering if all those "mental-health awareness" things could have an adverse effect. I wonder how many hypochondriacs self-suggested themselves an OCD or an ADHD, and while marinating in those thoughts they somehow turned those thoughts into an actual condition (self-fulfilling prophecy?). Like ... you guys already have tidy people joking about having an OCD, and people who like to wash hands are joking about being a germaphobs.

edit: I think I've seen an article "willpower is limited only if you believe so" posted somewhere here on HN, but I can't find it now. Anyway here's another link: [3], and here's the Stanford study they cite [4]. This can be another example of people self-suggesting themselves a handicap.

[1] There are a lot of posts on HN talking about healthcare costs in the US, so I'll share my anecdote too. I did an MRI in Ukraine and the whole thing was like $80: $50 for the hand and extra $30 for the wrist. The machine was 1.5 Tesla one, but there are other clinics that have 3 Tesla machines too (a little bit more expensive). Scheduling an appointment was done by a phone a couple of days in advance and didn't require any doctor referral. There are many small private clinics offering imaging services (MRI/CT/Ultrasound/...), and all of them are very easy to Google and all of the prices are available online, for example: [2]. After the procedure they give you a CD with the info, a print-out on some largish transparent plastic, and their staff doctor's conclusion. You usually take those results to your specialist doctor of choice.

[2] For example: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https... all prices in UAH, to get rough USD estimate divide those numbers by 25 (or 26.75 to get exact number as of 2019-03-13 if you're OCD).

> users do not drop phones and switch to a competing platform because they cannot install an app

Well, it wasn't just an app, but that was a pretty big reason (though not the only one) for my dropping iOS.
As someone who is new to this subject as of this thread, let me share some honest feedback. The way you describe and defend your position leaves me deeply skeptical about your claims.

"Real science", "abortion of a study", "real scientists", "entirely them who are refusing the science"

Even if your claims and descriptions happen to be right, the certainty, starkness and immature/sweeping language have led me to assume I would disagree with you if I dug in.

Just sharing a piece of outsider anecdata.
Based on their recommendations, I would say they don't know all that much.

It's kind of ironic that this story is on front page at the same time as the one about internet mobs shutting down researchers. It really feels like internet mobs are succeeding in pressuring regulatory bodies to ground the airplane, even though those bodies have determined by their normal evaluation criteria that it's not necessary to do so.
Their definition is a branding of the Debian guidelines from 1998, not a ploy on behalf of AWS years later. What other definition should we be considering? I actually can't name any.

My link may not be correct but it does say: the U.S. continues to have the lowest accident and fatality rates of any aviation market in the world

The primary reason is likely due to training requirements:

Those requirements are due to US regulations.
I personally hate trucks and think that we should disincentivize them (here in USA) by adding a federal fee on them to counteract their terrible gas mileage and the wear and tear they induce on roadways.

Trucks are simply terrible for traffic. In LA, I see a huge amount of base model trucks that have been outfitted with tow mirrors and lift kits, just to sit in traffic and commute to a non-manual-labor job. It's offensive and wasteful. A smaller crossover would be far more practical. Trucks are also much larger and heavier and therefore more dangerous for other road users. As a motorcyclist, I freaking hate their stupid tow mirrors sticking out into the next damn lane. They're dangerous to people around them.

They look terrible and have terrible fuel economy. And lastly, most aren't even useful. If you've got the standard truck with a 6-foot bed, what the hell do you even have a truck for? Trucks are for hauling things. Like motorcycles, cement, sheets of plywood, etc. If you're not actually using a truck for what they're intended for, why do you own a truck? Sorry, I meant finance on an 84-month loan.

If you don't use it for hauling or offroading, you're just a (P|L)oser. Drive a lifted truck and don't offroad? Poser. Got light bars, skid plates, and push bars and don't offroad? That's some mighty fine overcompensation you got there, mall crawler. Purposefully modded your exhaust so you can "roll coal"? You're an asshole and also a pathetic loser. Tow mirrors when you don't even have a trailer? Poser.

Truck nuts? Actually, whatever. They're silly imo, but that's about it. If you're thinking about a truck, get a goddamn crossover and put your ruler away.
They make a big deal about IBM using images published under a Creative Commons license without asking for permission, when the whole point of CC is to give permission to anyone, without having to ask. The people who are now surprised that their images are being used for purposes they disagree with should probably have used a different license, but I guess the messaging around CC (which tends to emphasize reuse by artists) makes it difficult.

Using images with a restriction to non-commercial purposes is a bit more of a gray area, depending on how you separate commercial from non-commercial activity. Since they share the data set with researchers at other organizations (presumably including competitors), I'd consider it non-commercial enough, because they don't gain a competitive advantage, but the details might have to be fought out in court.
Because writers are told publishers want 100k word novels, and they won't touch 25k novellas, and the short story market is very hard to get into, and writing a good short story requires an extra level of talent and discipline beyond writing a novel, and so why not make it a trilogy anyway, because publishers love those? (In reality they don't, but they'll fall over themselves for a good trilogy if a writer is one-in-a-million good.)

Writers are also told it takes two or three failed novels to write a good one.

And on top of that, there are plenty of writers whose primary motivation is vanity. They care more about seeing their name on the spine of a book - as if that proves they're Someone Important. They also think the more words there are, the better they're doing, and don't understand the value of understatement or editing.

Writers who view it as a business - willing to learn the required skillset, realistic about their potential, and with a product plan, a marketing and customer engagement plan, and a realistic assessment of sales outlets and likely income - are not common.
Well with traditional git, you can use tools like BFG and remove files or rewrite history that might have accidentally contained a password or API key (sure you can change them, but it's also best to get rid of them in history). Since this is on top of IPFS, is that still possible, or are there cases where things will last forever?
Agreed, and these kinds of criticisms always get me eye-rolling. "On the one hand, Megacorp committed <atrocious environment/safety violations>. But on the other hand, Whistleblower stole internal documents proving them. So, you have to accept, there's wrongdoing on both sides."
they'll argue that they already have this while blissfully ignoring the fact that they've made its barrier to entry on their platform artificially high.
Agreed, except I don't always answer.

Heck if work hadn't moved to slack I probably wouldn't answer most emails there either.
Your rant is misdirected. This is a problem with Bing (the underlying search engine of DDG).
I would assume there would not be the same application of antitrust law, if any (IANAL) because Spotify isn't a marketplace that sells the podcasts.

That situation would be more comparable to Netflix since you're just paying a bundled subscription and you're getting 3rd-party work as well as Netflix originals. While openness would be awesome to have, they don't really have any obligation to provide it.

Of course it's not exactly like Netflix since you can self-publish onto Spotify so there's wrinkles. But my point is that it's a lot different than operating a buying/selling marketplace.
I doubt that enters into the FAA's calculus here. It is more likely that there is not enough information to show that the plane is unsafe (a sample size of 2 is not statistically significant). The FAA has already approved this design, and to say that there is a design flaw would cast a shadow on their own approval process, and by extension their authority.

Of course, over the last 10 years or so the FAA has delegated much of the approval process to the corporations themselves. Perhaps the system really is rotten?
Sorry if this sounds a little clueless, but it sounds like the problem is because there's multiple Unicode standards (UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32). So it seems like if you just re-encode everything into one of these before committing to the storage layer, that you'd avoid this problem altogether, and you'd be able to do operations in the storage layer correctly too.
because people have had a longer amount of time to understand food. hang in there, my friend :)
Honestly I don't care much about AV1, I am hardly going to own AV1-capable hardware in less than 5-10 years anyway. What I really want is OPUS to work everywhere (HTML audio tag in web browsers, message-attached audio files in messengers (Telegram), iTunes) and possibly VP8(webm)-encoded "gifs". I have converted my whole lifetime collection of MP3s (some hundreds gibs) to OPUS to save space (and put a big collection of audio books on my Android phone) and now I have to convert them back every time I want to let my wife listen to something on her iPhone, iPad or MacBook (there is VLC for this on Mac yet lack of web browser support is still a pain).

I've seen many mentions OPUS is going to be everywhere, Apple included, years passed and it still is not, not even in the fresh models that were meant to have it in hardware.

European schools are taxpayer-funded, so students don't have to think as much about 5-figure differences between in-state tuition at a public university and full tuition at a private school.

The "pedigree" of US schools developed because the top schools have gigantic endowments from rich alumni, which allows them to build better facilities, hire top teaching talent and fund research. This is a cycle that is reinforced by alums (many at successful companies) who choose to recruit at those schools, thereby creating a new class of well-paid employees who're in a position to contribute to the endowment down the line.

For some industries like investment banking and finance, it's extremely important to do your undergrad at a "target school", where banks come to campus directly to run info sessions and do preliminary interviews. Otherwise you may not have a real shot unless you do an MBA, this time at a target school.
The idea Elon Musk "believed in his mind" that funding was secured is pure sophistry. He has done hundreds of fundraising rounds in his life and knows the various stages involved in intimate detail.

He was obsessed at the time with squeezing shorts and probably thought he could touch off a VW-style spike in the stock. Ironically, by capping the upside at $420, he presented shorts with one of the best risk-reward profiles in the stock's history, and that days intraday high has never been seen since.
"If you can't obey this silly requirement to use extra bits how can we trust you to do all the other things that we need done correctly?" is a slippery slope argument. The response is "We allocate testing resources proportionally to the seriousness of the consequences of failure to adhere to a requirement, as any good engineering project does."

It's probably worth noting that the problem lasted three years and wasn't discovered by an exploit in the wild, but by followup spot-checking of Google certs as a result of spot-checking Dark Matter certs. I don't think seriousness of the issue is in dispute.
It could be people reaching for extreme and hyperbolic language to express their emotions (maybe moreso than their ideas)
Indeed: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/1/25/harvard-income-...
I have a different position, which is that I actively tolerate quite a lot of crappy behavior from great minds doing great things. Sure, when someone breaks the law, do whatever is normal when a person breaks that law. If he violated SEC regulations, okay the SEC will do whatever the SEC does. But I don't really care on an emotional level if some investors lost some money. And there's almost no manner of wrong-think or Twitter bullying or any other obnoxious but not illegal behavior that would upset me at all.

Have you ever noticed how many of the greatest actors/actresses are a bit on the crazy side? Genius and "craziness" tend to go hand in hand. I believe we'll all be better off if we tolerate quite a bit of craziness from geniuses. Better art, better science, better world.
No? Your quote basically confirms it. All organic search results are from Oath and Bing. The other 400 sources are just for fluff like widgets.
A site like this is going to be full of tech proselytes who still live and breathe the devine tech CEO BS from the last decade. It’s to be expected.

If there are plenty of different plane and the cost of switching is low then yeah sure.
But the CC license requires attribution (and, in some variants, prohibits commerical use). It's not clear to me that IBM followed these requirements--presumably a trained neural network counts as a derived work, so far as the CC license is concerned.
..or perhaps Boeing should not make software that is apparently counter-intuitive for the average airliner pilot.
At the moment, whatsapp is supposed to be end-to-end encrypted. I get the don't trust facebook mantra though, it is valid.

That's a very recent promotion (like, this week), and is the Hulu plan with ads [0], which has a marginal value of $0 or less in my opinion.

Yes, see how they still tracked Android users' location, despite location setting being turned off.
No, I'm saying the public perception of "crack vs cocaine" (and crack as a "national emergency" and not cocaine) was significantly influenced by public anti-Black (and anti-poor) biases and perceptions.
>The obvious easy thing to do from a PR perspective is to ground the planes

I don't think that is the case. The FAA and Boeing both said this plane is safe and approved it for use. They would look like complete idiots if they now turn around and say they were wrong and it would put a lot of focus on why and how they came to that initial conclusion that the plane was safe.

They are doubling down on their safety claim and are refusing to admit they could have made a mistake at the expense of potentially hundreds of lives.
I agree that the NTSB doesn’t hesitate to make a call. What I’m saying is that in this case, a special case in that two aircraft have had similar crashes and pilots seem to indicate an issue, should prompt the NTSB + FAA to issue conservative guidance on this, i.e. be super cautious on the side of safety when there appears to be uncertainty.
> ...it's not a technical issue, it's a people's issue.

Exactly. Any solution you can come up with for baking PGP authentication into email can be applied also to DMARC, so if your primary use case is authenticating reputable businesses why not back the tech that's already seeing adoption by said businesses?

Obviously it'd be great if all digital messages were effectively authenticated using strong cryptography. I imagine at some point we'll get there, probably through a combination of maturing technology and better educated users.
I think it's a fallacy that people compares chances of death/injury like a computer would. Things like being in control of your own fate matter too.
Just glancing at your previous comments on HN (the most recent 2 pages of which are all Musk/Tesla related), it appears you are not a Musk fan. So I take this comment with a grain of salt.

A better way to put it is that Apple has a monopoly on selling apps to iOS owners. So yes, Walmart and Apple can both have a monopoly on their "shelves", but Walmart doesn't have a monopoly on their customers. Their customers also shop at grocery stores, Best Buy, online, etc. If I don't agree with Walmart's terms my potential customers can still buy my product at any of these other stores.

The other issue here is using dominance in one market to expand into another. Walmart may sell their own branded stuff, but even then they're still a retailer buying and selling things. Compare that with Apple where building phones and selling online music subscriptions are different markets.
Does WhatsApp save the pictures for their own use?

Does their TOS/Privacy Policy outline what they (if anything) do with photos? I do not have whatsapp or facebook, so I don't know, but similar to OP, many family members do.

Even Android is not done right.

- Android J++

- Kotlin, the successor, still faces lots of tooling issues, regarding incremental builds, code completion, thin APKs,...

- NDK users keep being neglected, after 10 years there is still no alternative to manually write JNI boilerplate, handle native libraries, a proper C++ API in the NDK, the ones that exist like Oboe are either plain code dumps on GitHub, or use Blaze, which isn't part of the standard SDK tooling, IDE tools if they get added always feel like an afterthought to their Java/Kotlin counterparts

- Stable support library and Android Studio releases have as much bugs as canary ones

- Android Studio feels like it needs a rendering workstation to work properly

The last two points have escalated so high that they finally created Project Marble to improve the current state of affairs.

OEMs love Android only because it is free beer.

> only one has a justifiable reason anyone should give a shit what anyone else drives - fuel economy.

I give a shit about what other people drive. I hate trucks with a passion because they are: bigger, taller, heavier, slower, and handle poorly. They are dangerous for other road users for all those reasons.

Larger vehicles do a disproportionate amount of wear and tear on road surfaces. Another strike against trucks.

Lastly (aside from fuel economy), they're likely to be lifted or have accessories like tow mirrors on trucks that never tow a thing. Trucks are stupid, impractical garbage boxes for the vast majority of people who own them __in urban areas__. I freaking hate trucks.
