The real question is, if the common wisdom is to ground the chassis when possible, and even the induced voltage on the chassis is harmless, they are seen as a widely recognized annoyance. So, my (Question 1) then why does the hardware designers keep using ungrounded design in the first place? Just because they think the output through a isolated transformer is safe enough (also can meet safety regulations), so they want to then omitting the Protective Earthing to simply make the power supply smaller and they think it's okay to give the users some small shocks? Or it's something else?

And here's another question I don't understand. When a piece of electronics don't have a Protective Grounding connection, the common explanation is: the low voltage is created by a SMPS, and an isolation transformer at the output side of the SMPS makes the voltage no longer being Earth-referenced, so in the worst possibly scenario, if a grounded person touches the "hot" output wire, nothing would happen. But if you ground the chassis to the Protective Ground (often the ground of the PCB is connected to the chassis), the output becomes Earth-referenced again and loses the protection of isolation. This is why an isolation transformer has a unconnected Protective Ground at its output side, and many SMPS-based appliances don't use the Protective Ground.

So my Question 2, according to the common wisdom and many regulations, most appliances should be grounded, but from the principle of isolated power supply, it should not be grounded. And in real life, we clearly see lots of laptops use DC power supply without the ground connector, and others with the ground connector. And to further complicated the issue, some DC power supplies only use the ground internally for the EMI filter circuity and/or its own enclosure, but the DC output itself is isolated and is not ground referenced. Then how can an isolated power supply with the ground plug help stopping the induced voltage on a laptop's enclosure, if the output is isolated? Something related to the leakage current of the X/Y capacitors? It seems there's lots of inconsistency here. Just why?

This looks like their main.
It's like "acceleration is from torque not power". Technically true but unhelpful.

This trend bothers me. Employees are not shareholders, or if they are, they ought to do this in their capacity as shareholders. If they want to govern the company, they ought to buy in or move to management.

Or, they can always move companies. This is always an option.

Also, socialism is an awful idea. I can't believe people actually support it. I have a massive moral objection to its core tenets: what right have you to the fruits of my labor?
Even if the heart muscle doesn't kill you, you can still die from the chemical imbalance caused by subjecting to your whole body to electrolysis. So if you got shocked, visit a hospital immediately! You can still die hours later.
They brought it back. It's branded "location sharing" in the current iteration of Google Maps. Works just like Latitude used to. You can see people who are sharing their location with you right in Google Maps.
Usually any kind of such issue wouldn’t take out every component of a type unless user error is involved. Like deploying the wrong policy to all devices. Which again comes back to humans being the weakest link. I can’t really imagine a particular hardware problem that would kill all components at once. This being said I probably didn’t experience all possible problems so far :).
Exactly. If things keep going at this rate Google and Facebook will be shaping and distorting reality for a large portion of the population.

If 95% of your internet traffic goes through a search box or algorithm... And you spend 6 hours a day on the internet... And you're not savvy to these issues (as our readers are)... That's almost 50% of waking life spent consuming manufactured data which your brain (on some level) interprets as "real" without question. Terrifying.
Why is it a dystopian nightmare for Youtube to curate its content according to "quality", but it wasn't a dystopian nightmare for Youtube to curate its content to maximize engagement for ad revenue?
In my personal experience it's the other way around.

Pro-vaccine people are the irrational ones that dismiss science. They call people terrorists, threaten jail and removal of children from parents among many other statements intended to instill fear.
Wow, that's a pretty good deal. How widely accepted is Discover these days? I'm curious what has your experience been? Cheers.
Chase's website is pretty crappy. I regularly have to login twice, or check the developer console to debug why I get infinite loading spinners. This is with a stock and up-to-date Chrome install on a good network.
For the moment they also throw away the fairing, which I assume isn't included in your $7.5 million as it's been reported to cost $6 million by itself (at least for regular Falcon 9 -- not sure if the Heavy fairing is different). They've been working on fairing recovery, but have yet to succeed.

EDIT: scratch that, apparently the recovered the fairings as well per a comment below. Neat!
It would absolutely be possible to have a base on the peak of Everest. I think you can even get up there with helicopters. The only question is, what would be the scientific value? Astronauts do not go to the ISS just because they love living in cramped quarters for six months... ;)
Please just give us the ability to blacklist channels. That’d increase usability by 10x for me.
Slightly pedantic, but you are right. Sentence communicated by the Obama Admin; effectively pardoned considering the life in jail possibility.

Oh, but now there is an issue. Are trans people mentally ill according to you - or just Manning? Because he committed a crime, then became a she - they no longer are responsible for their actions? Not bad enough to lock up, but bad enough to punish associates for.

By that reasoning, Assange allegedly helped someone that doesn’t exist anymore, commit a crime that no one pays for. Seems like my original point.

Edit: Remembering that not only would Assange not now how ill Manning was (to head off any claims of exploitation) but the info Wikileaks has published has all been true and most users here celebrated its release. That if you agree with the US Gov here you are arguing that supplying information like that on encryption cracking or hacking or any topic that someone could abuse should leave you vulnerable to their misuses, that sure seems like a bad policy.
Shell is a great way to think about it: bash scripts mutating flat files can be reasonable for a personal adhoc task, and maybe even share for reusability, but you don’t want to find them at the core of a backend architecture where an RDBMS ought to be.
Hehe, I think I figured out the source of the confusion.

I was thinking that the threat is that a compromised B gives access to your keys via agent forwarding. Presumably if you make keys available on B, you need them there. There's nothing ProxyCommand does to help there.

But you're talking about using ProxyCommand as an alternative for connecting A->X and then X->B, so keys are not available on X. That's of course an improvement.
The internet has operated that way forever. Most hosts haven't allowed porn since the beginning of time. You're still free to make your own video hosting website if you'd like. Liveleak still exists.
These companies focusing so much on algorithms, when the best solution is to simply use actual humans.

I've done a fair amount of work on trying to detect and deal with spammers, fraudulent activity and such. Nothing beats a human eye.

My most successful approach has been to filter out the super obvious stuff, then send the rest to a queue that is kept an eye on by humans. A small staff can easily fight back against bullshit. Yes, YouTube is orders of magnitude above what I've dealt with, but I'm sure their smart engineers can filter out the majority of stuff.

It's painfully obvious that YouTube lacks human eyes on things. That, or they lack direction and empowerment of their employees.
Cryptanalytic Time-Memory Trade-Off (1980) [pdf]
Pretty much! It's quite freeing if you enjoy working in an editor like that, and it's incredibly powerful!

But obviously if you value "time to open" and if you don't want to customize things, neither of them is going to be a good choice for you!
For those who want to know more about this:

The article touches on just the tip of the iceberg. You might think that all you need to do is add an extra field for phonetic readings, and then simply sort on that field, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong. A naive sort (i.e. based simply on character code) will hit the following snags:

1) Hiragana vs Katakana

The article focuses more on Kanji vs Kana, but Japanese users will expect Hiragana and Katakana to be properly sorted together. Either you normalize your sort field (by converting everything to Hiragana, for example) or you use a Kana-insensitive collation.

2) Half-width characters

Katakana can be encoded as full-width or half-width characters (カ vs ｶ). Generally you want these treated as the same, so again you need to normalize or use a width-insensitive collation. There are also full-width alphabet characters (Ａ vs A).

3) Youon

These are actual different characters (ゆ vs ゅ, つ vs っ), so you can't normalize, but you want them sorted together. Here you need a collation that's case-insensitive with respect to these.

4) Dakuten/Handakuten

Like youon, these are also different characters (は vs ば vs ぱ) so you can't normalize, but you want them sorted together (insensitively). A sensitive sort will give you (はね, ばつ, ぱすた) while an insensitive sort will give you (ぱすた, ばつ, はね).

There has been a lot of work around this, resulting in many different database collations over the years, some of which result in sorts that would greatly confuse Japanese users. As of today, you probably want to be using (in the case of MySQL) utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci or something similar.
It’s not hidden away, I just don’t think most people care for it.
Some people describe it as unsafe code "infecting" its containing module. This section of the nomicon goes into more detail: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/working-with-unsafe.html
It's not an open marketplace and each side is is fighting a different fight:

>Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.
If I called them “normal” my comment wouldn’t have made sense. “Perceived as weird by society” maybe?
I think a key thing overlooked is "human reviewers who would train its software..." which usually means throwing out it as a human interface task to mechanical turk and retrieving the result, then throwing the data into the input of the machine learning algorithm. This is not the same as having a human look at videos.
Is there anymore information about the jabber conversation being exposed between Manning and Assange? I assume they has some sort of OpSec in place, I am curious how this was picked up.
MCN's are basically the private version of this.

Content creators join MCN's "Multi-Channel Networks" with the idea that the MCN will handle some of the more administrative and legal tasks while the content creators focus on content.

MCN's try to help with the copyright striking and often do have a direct line to youtube due to their size and importance.
Took care of it. I meant no offense to the Roma people.
It’s very clearly a scenario where money drives the narrative. They can literally lose advertisers overnight because of a single rogue user tainting the ad dollar pool.

Business wise it makes absolute sense.
Then by definition most videos on Youtube are already "deplatformed," since the space for recommendations and the front page is limited. Why is this suddenly a problem?
How the Times Thinks About Privacy
I would actually be glad if some of the more extreme and irresponsible opinions are deplatformed. It cant be argued that Youtube is expected to platform all range of opinions.

There is however a strong likelihood of this being exploited by Youtube for its own purposes.
Clicking through, the price is more accessible than I expected, too. It's $66 for the base board.
Allegedly broke the law. I'm still waiting to see greater details of the evidence showing assange coordinated with Manning to get unauthorized access to a computer. It could be a bunch of bologne used as a pretense to extradite him.
But then again, the anthropic principle - you are only here to observe them since they did happen, so the ludicrously small probability of something like this happening can not be held as evidence against it being random.
the latter is demand driven
I like the idea of AI to predict real life things.
Every couple of years I drop in to see if there's a simple way to publish IF games on the web yet. There isn't. It's a shame.

No one's going to pay for text-based IF games and no one wants to install software to play them. The web is the ideal delivery channel for the medium, but no one seems interested in making good publishing tools for it.

(To be clear, I’m not saying it isn't possible, just that the tools for doing so are fiddly and ugly.)

> Manning already had access

To Manning's account. She didn't have access to the account she was trying to crack. Getting access to accounts that aren't yours ("exceed[ing] authorized access")- or conspiracy to do so- is more or less exactly what the CFAA is meant to prohibit. Maybe that account had exactly the same permissions that her account did, but the fact remains that she was not authorized to log in to that account.

> proof that Assange did in fact try to crack it

Proof is for trial. A grand jury just has to find probable cause to bring the indictment. Probable cause is quite a low burden of proof. You may not like it! but this is extremely normal in the American system. You don't need proof to bring an indictment, just probable cause. Assange is not special here. A chat log of someone saying "brb gonna go do the crime" followed by "no luck so far" seems pretty probable-causey to me.
Which Is Riskier, Prostitution or Investing?
I don’t think based on recent history there’s any real risk of people not finding a community that shares their crazy ideas.

There was proof of a link between autism and vaccines. It just came out this past January in 2019. But the news didn't report on it.
Templating libraries are far from frameworks. lit-html doesn't have a component model, and it's use in a web component doesn't leak outside of that component. You could switch from lit-html to something else and it wouldn't be a breaking change to users.

Try thinking about writing a React component that doesn't use React to render. Or seamlessly intermixing React and Vue commoners. Then you see the difference.
Can you name a non-infinite dataset with an unbounded domain? One without a trivial mapping function?

Everything we work with is amenable to Radix Sort. This was a big part of Henglein's work.
You are right, I meant "last year" when I wrote "last couple of years", and should have in fact written "last 6 months".

Or I should have referred to the Zimbabwe currency...
Only if you rely on Youtube to give you exposition instead of merely using it as a video hosting site that you link from somewhere else (personal website, other social network, mailing list, whatever). In this case Youtube's algorithm doesn't really matter and even if they ban your account you can just switch to some other host (or even self-host).

But then if you rely solely on Youtube for exposition (and, generally, monetization) you're setting yourself up for this kind of abuse. You need Youtube but unless you're a huge channel commanding millions and millions of views Google doesn't care about you. Worse, if you start bringing controversy you're actually a liability.

I think Youtube's behavior is perfectly rational here. I don't understand on what grounds they should be expected to host controversial channels (and on top of that, give them money) if they think it's hurting the website.

Google is not the internet (yet), just host somewhere else. Find like-minded people and create your own platform. Make the web decentralized again.
Is there any good news for the natural world in that book? Specifically mass extinction of species cute and not.
Oh, not on here: this site is clearly full of people who hate both fun and science. But the complaint was about how she was being covered by the media, not how she is being discussed here, and there wasn’t a 800+ comment thread complaining about how Ferdowsi, Who got fat more vapid coverage, must not actually have done anything and didn’t deserve attention, and he wasn’t even first author of something.
People can agree on the definition of 'ad revenue'.
Ask HN: Non-VC backed founders, any tips on growth?
I am involved in two bootstrapped startups (group of buddies saved up and some work remote from my house) and it is getting to the point where we do not really need the money or investments as we have some earnings keeping us afloat. One of the apps is enterprise, has shown market fit, and has some great clients. We have been approached already with VC offers, but I am just so hesitant to let someone else in. Sometimes (read: lots and lots and lots of times) something that started as a noble pursuit ends up being corrupted by all of the cooks in the kitchen. Any guidance to those that have been similar situations? Thanks.
both are pretty bad options. Better to let users curate and allow popularity to dictate visibility, surely?
> The case for whistleblowing hinges on that reality.

It's not about whistleblowing it's about hacking a DoD account to access classified military intelligence.
Youtube is a brand like any other, like a TV channel.

If they want to have a theme or specific content ... that's their call.
>That's an interesting issue, since in continential Europe (and a lot of the rest of the world) the plugs are symmetrical and don't distinguish between active and neutral.

It really doesn't matter much with A/C since the voltage is always flip flopping. You're basically a bird on a wire at all times but that wire is the earth itself. I can't think of any situation where a properly manufactured device would care which contact is neutral and which one is power. Ground is (in theory) always separate from neutral on the device (it should go without saying that it's separate from the line otherwise you have a short to ground). Plugs in the US used to be symmetrical too.

Edit: Since apparently I'm Wrong(TM) does anyone want to tell me why?
There was a scene in Sakurada Reset where the main character writes his name on a form in katakana and then is questioned about it. He says something about how people typically pronounce his name wrong so he writes it that way.
Seems promising. Thank you for info.
One could argue that the former is as well, given the platform's low reputation for quality, and the bad press its recieved for allowing extremist and algorithm generated content. Let's not pretend Youtube is pushing this entirely down the public's throat against their will.
I contributed to port a new microcontroller, which includes writing device (peripheral) drivers.

It was pretty much about their coding standards. I had that experience because I was contributing for mainline branch. They think avoiding abstracted manufacturer peripheral libraries (like STM32 HAL) is the best way to keep the binary small. It is pretty much appose to what Zephyr OS is doing.

I think peripheral libraries are adopting BSD license these days so the license shouldn't be an issue these days.
I haven't paid attention to this in a few years, but haven't MCNs gone through a pretty bad stretch? I seem to recall a lot of people leaving theirs (sometimes acrimoniously) because they weren't handling those administrative/copyright issues.
The first big insight Henglein brings in the first paper is structural: you can map searches sensibly over products and sums. This is actually a profound thing, but most folks outside of Haskell circles don't work with ADTs so they don't understand the universal applicability of this insight.

It means you can map them over any concrete, acyclic structure. Which means you can sort anything with radix sort.
Hold up do you go by Bobby?
that's a separate conversation. Youtube promoting or pushing down content based on their idea of "quality" is the concern here.
> Assange gave assistance to Manning to log in as a different user to protect his identity as a source.

Except that the "different user" was an admin account that had the needed permissions to access the data Manning wanted to upload to wikileaks, and the "assistance" was attempting to crack the admin password using a Windows SAM file Manning had provided.
I'm starting to feel less and less concerned. The people are starting to revolt. All the YouTubers I follow are migrating to alternative platforms for both hosting and $. Even PewDiePie, long time biggest YouTuber, has put this weight into another platform and will only be doing his live streams on dlive, a streaming platform with a crypto currency tied to it. Very few are totally abandoning YouTube, but I think the writing is on the wall. Everyone is trying to figure out a different path forward.
Advertisers and their demands are cancer.
i'm writing a book about this actually, and giving away some free copies... fitnessforhackers.com

Quality content takes time to create; many of the past changes in YouTube algorithms explicitly pushed for churning out low-quality content frequently and rewarded it, while seriously disadvantaging irregular quality content (that moved elsewhere in the meantime). You get what you reward.
What's the difference between "technically true" and "actually true"?

Just look at the discussion that occurred:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12725427

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12722929

Everybody understands that phrase to mean some significant action. I am certain that Wikileaks knew that people would understand it that way. They could have said "the Ecuadorians cut off Julian's WiFi access" and people would have understood the situation. Instead, they used extremely slanted language and caused everyone to understand something completely different from what happened.

Communication is ultimately about creating certain thoughts in other people's minds. "Technically correct" gets you no points at all if you deliberately use language that will create incorrect thoughts in others.
