A lot of thought does seem to happen by associational pattern matching.

And it can be startling how rapidly understanding can become gappy and ramshackle, as you move away from someone's narrow research focus or center of exceptional expertise. There's a recurring news meme, look at the <supposedly smart people> (eg, Harvard Business School students) not knowing the <basic thing> (eg, what causes seasons). But if the last time someone saw a topic was in middle school, why would a middle schooler's understanding of the topic come as a surprise? The "You're a Doctor? Yes, of medieval French literature. Great, I have a question for you. I have this nagging pain in my..." misunderstanding of expertise and competence.

The Ten Thousand[1] idea seems yet another significant contribution to society by xkcd. :) [1] https://xkcd.com/1053/
In the US, this is a racial injustice issue.* I can't help but wonder if it is in the UK as well.

I've got a Xiaomi phone for $220. Large bright IPS screen, gestures, 4-5 days on battery with all comms on (Nexus 6 did 1 day).

Only 2 drawbacks: not AMOLED (would add $100-$150, did not consider it worth), mediocre camera, which I rarely use anyway.
I just installed some random googleapis link. This is so stupid, and very disappointing from Mozilla.
What other hard to predict data are you thinking?

The cloud data is independently verifiable and somewhat globally accessible, which is the main benefit. In a court of law you can refer back to any number of facts to corroborate the data.

But yes you could use stock prices or sports scores to the same effect.
Installing what you want is generally pretty easy, it's uninstalling what you want the main issue. Phones are coming loaded with bloatware you can't uninstall.
It is not possible for a user land application to prevent root processes from hijacking / modifying it. Such protection requires the protecting mechanism to run at a higher level of trust / security ring than the attacker.
Tell HN: Archive.is inaccessible via Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1)
I noticed I couldn't connect to archive.is, eventually I figured out it was an issue with cloudflare DNS, 1.1.1.1. Checking nslookup confirms this:

nslookup archive.is 1.1.1.1
Server: 1.1.1.1
Address: 1.1.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: archive.is
Address: 127.0.0.4

nslookup archive.is 8.8.8.8
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: archive.is
Address: 94.16.117.236

Cloudflare is returning a localhost address which prevents you from accessing the website.
Huanwei is pretty expensive too.
Why the student loan and college ‘bubble’ won’t be bursting anytime soon
Can it be used on 2 monitors yet? I know you can detach the source editor but this is not the way I like it.

IMHO RStudio 's usability suffers greatly from the rigid 2x2 layout -- or it did so the last time I tried. I also find the handling of project directories somewhat suboptimal. While I see why many people like RStudio, I think it is lacking wrt usability in certain rather basic aspects. Did that change yet?
It was for me, literally just had to click on the link, and then "Ok" on the "do you want to install this" dialogue that popped up. Not sure if firefox beta would be different.
> their main market is tech savvy people that tend to be more sensitive to this than most

Is that so, though? Firefox is still being used by millions of users, and I doubt those are only the tech savvy internet users.

(Then again, this mostly applies to Firefox users using add-ons, which probably has a higher share of technical users.)
Yep. Or even if it's not being actively studied, it's being consciously obtained rather than pushed in the background. And I feel relatively safe because of the community's discussion here.
No, not in China, no firewall. Thanks for reaching out & your suggestions though!
Working Remotely and Managing Remote Teams
Those were not the points I addressed.

Your terms "hearsay and rumor" appear deliberately chosen to color the more generic phrase "anonymous" or "third-party". As such, I cannot answer your question as I disagree with the characterization.
I want my phone like a PC: I can choose the OS with no weird outdated binary blob requirements.
The most frustrating part of this for me is there is no (relatively) easy way to override this behavior. Its fine to disable the addons, but please allow me to "understand the risks" and continue against Firefox's recommendations.

The feeling of no control over my web browser was why I left Chrome in the first place.
So it’s “religious” not to tie your career to a platform that the vendor and the market are both moving away from? If I chose my language and technology choices based on what I like and not marketability, I wouldn’t be going near React, Node or any of the cool kids stuff.

I would rather not end up like old VB6 developers trying to find a job in 2008.

I know a developer who worked in a company for 20 years got laid off and complained about “ageism” because no one would hire him and all of his experience in 2017 was in Windows Forms and Web Forms.

Yes, I’ve been there done that too. Mid 2008, I had been at a company doing C++/MFC and VB6 and felt stuck and unhireable. I was in my mod 30s then. I wouldn’t dare tie myself to a stack that even the vendor is saying is being deprecated in my mid 40s.

I’ve also left a job before when the .Net product I was hired for couldn’t find a market and they wanted everyone to switch and do PHP. All 14 developers left within six months. We all knew the danger of working in old tech.
> That's not quite right. He knew about a feature being added to a separate dependent library. Further work would be needed to leverage it.

Ah, but was this made clear in the crowdfunding proposal?
I turn on mostly all phone home functionality in Firefox, and also wasn't affected. Apparently the certificate check is only executed once every 24h, so I guess our checks only occurred after a fix was already pushed.
And you shouldn't have to care. No one should. The very fact that this exists and that we are expected to trust it is very disappointing.
You're absolutely right: scale matters. The camps are not really comparable to gitmo.

They are perhaps more akin to the U.S prison system were thousands upon thousands of blacks and latinos are held, sometimes in isolation, sometimes for years, without charge. Pretty fucked up.
Switch to what? Chrome? Because you don't like having to re-opt-in to studies? That would be ludicrous given Google's privacy track record. Opera? They're owned by a Chinese investment firm now. Edge? MS's whole OS is based on data collection.
Michel Thomas is, in my humble opinion, having been crap at languages though school and having tried many alternatives THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER.

If you have a logical brain (as I suspect many HN readers do) and like to know how and WHY the language works as it does. And be able to make sentences from day 0. Try it. It’s amazing. And he’s also an amazing dude. Check him out on Wikipedia. Ex-french resistance. Tried to bring the world together with language. Recorded each CD in one take just from memory. A true legend.
I would recommend not telling recruiters, but bringing it up at interview.
Fix: install uBlock addon:https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases, after you can add any addons without errors.
It's very disappointing that 300ms is considered "low" latency. The circumference of the Earth is 40075km, and the speed of light in optical fiber is slightly faster than 2/3rds of that in vacuum, so it's physically possible to send a signal to any place on Earth within 100ms, and get a reply within 200ms.

IMO "low latency" should mean low enough than it's very unlikely to be noticed, which most musicians seem to accept as 5ms. (Theoretically, even microsecond level delayed audio can be noticed if mixed with the original signal because of comb filtering.)
The former would work too. Primarily that's just me recognizing that obviously there are some people that have reason to be driving.

I'm not sure that mobility scooters / wheelchairs would be adequately handled by all public transport at the moment even in London, there would probably be a lot of repressed demand, or people would just stay indoors.

A 60-person bus might have one or two wheelchair spots; a mobility scooter won't go on them at all; I very rarely see either on the trains despite it being technically possible. A lot of tube stations are not step-free.

I'm not suggesting banning vehicles; I'm suggesting taxing them appropriate to the damage they cause so that fewer people see "go for a drive through tons of residential streets" as a normal / accepted thing to do.
The logical nexus of your comment is that free speech is a failed concept and some central or distributed censors should curate which ideas are allowed.

How has that worked in the past?
Dogs are kids without the sacrfice. A dog will never say he hates you, will not put you through nine months of pregnancy and labor to have, won't force you to give up your career pushing spreadsheets/work lots of overtime hours, won't force you to move for a bigger house or a better school system, and won't end up being a disappointment or worse. You can kennel them to go on your vacations and they will never ruin them by getting sick or sucking all of the fun out of it. They just sit there, look furry, show affection, and occasionally chew up your furniture, poop on the floor, and bark.

Kind of a perfect sign of the times, I guess.
If Mozilla had barely any trust left than the industry as a whole is truly fucked.
what's the drawback of enabling it all the time? why isn't this the default?

if only the inner content of a canvas has changed (i.e. the size of the canvas hasn't changed), why do we still need to update the dom?
That system would work for school lunches. It would not work as well for an oversubscribed transit system where users may not live where the system is and you want to provide some incentive for people to live where they work, bike, carpool or travel at off-peak times.
Build a bat box, drain standing water, and cultivate a native garden with plants that attract native predatory insects. Dragonflies, tiny wasps, lady bugs, spiders, etc. Then they'll do all the hard work for you.

It's the same with worms. Breed & release into barren soil, and they'll just flee to greener pastures. But cultivate conditions they like, and they will show up all on their own.
That's not how the voting system works.
This is a straw man argument. Semantics are not the issue at hand.
Some of the Android One phones still support bootloader unlocking. I was recently searching desperately for a recent-ish phone to replace my subtly-dead Note 3 and found that the Moto X4 Android One version supports bootloader unlocking (voiding its warranty unfortunately) and is supported by current releases of LineageOS (16).
Because of RabbitMQ, Kafka, nats, cloud vendor solutions etc.

There is a lot of effort that goes into building and maintaining such a system. JavaScript devs are a demographic less interested in building such things, rather than using a working solution.

Apologies, I didn't mean to offend, I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from. Can you help me understand what makes the reports on the Chinese government's detention of Muslims propaganda rather than news?
No, just this one because it took me more than 5 minutes to not find a working fix, and this was such a massive fuck-up that I don't feel like sticking around.

I appreciate the condescension of both your comment and the person I initially replied to, but I honestly see your comments as saying, in more words, "Fuck the user." And that's fine, but why don't you just say it? Go ahead and type it, I want you to type what you really think about the users who are so dumb and fickle that they can't handle something so trivial as not being able to use their precious stupid add-ons like HTTPS Everywhere and uBlock.
> The goats are more useful in hilly areas and less picky about what they will eat.

This sort of thing is a problem here in New Zealand. Fragile environments get hit hard by goats, but I’d imagine that wildfires aren’t exactly helpful either.
These days, I often use Rmarkdown for both python and R work. On the R side, Rstudio makes it a pure delight. On the python side, jupytext makes it easy to open / edit Rmds as notebooks.

Hats off to the many people in these communities working to give us the best of both worlds :).
Youre saying that free speech can't cure racism because racism defeats reason. But in the very next breath you're claiming that education is responsible for winning over racism.

Don't you see the contradiction here? It can't be both.

Keep guessing.

Right, so what constitutes a major viewpoint?

Let's say that a popular politician believes that vaccines cause autism. In order to be impartial, does the news outlet now have to give equal weight to people who believe in a lie?

Or what if what the majority believes is actually abhorrent? Like for example, let's say the majority believe (or choose to simply ignore) that it's a good thing to put a bunch of ethnic minorities in concentration camps. Whether it's due to propaganda or threats from the government. In this hypothetical example, let's call these people Uyghurs.

Is the impartial outlet supposed to give equal consideration to both sides? Maybe bring up a few positives of concentration camps?

In "The Next 100 Years," Friedman predicted that globally declining birth rates would lead states to start fighting to attract immigrants. That book is full of incorrect predictions that are nonetheless interesting.

It's weird to see low unemployment correlated instead with nationalism.
In Switzerland you can buy a box and a starter wild bee population, let them multiply for the year, and then return them. Farmers then in turn purchase these wild bees from the company.

Cert expiration is the only safe revocation. You cannot rely on revocation lists in many settings. Access to them might be maliciously blocked or, if locally kept, tampered with. The list could for example be replaced with an older one, which would circumvent signing the list unless the signature contains an expiration date and then you’re back to “oh, list expired, how do we fail?”

You cannot rely on check at extension install. That would assume that all malicious extensions are installed via FF proper. Oracles crapware bundling in the Java installer taught us that’s now how things go. You cannot remember the trust flag when an extension is installed via FF as a crapware installer could just set the trust flag, too. After all, that storage would be accessible, too. You cannot sign or encrypt that trust storage as the key material would have to be kept locally and would be accessible to the crapware installer.
I did this exact method for my last round of algorithm interviewing and found it very helpful.

I also did this for various college courses I’ve taken, and I’ve found that to be tremendous for practicing and recognizing patterns.
To suggest education cures Racism is to say that reason defeats racism, which in turn brings us back to free speech.
The normal practice would be to have someone operating as an incident communication manager who would be taking care of status/things like this.

Saying "we were too busy fixing to communicate" is actually a really bad sign, because it's not just about what you are communicating to the outside world, but also, for example, about making sure people that need to be brought in are getting consistent information.
In a way, cities eat the young and spit them back into the suburbs as they approach middle age to produce more. It's a cycle. It might not be bad.
I think you're misinterpreting my comment; I'm not stating that the majority of social housing is located in high pollution areas but rather that some of it is (a decent amount).

These people are effectively in a sort of rent-control style scenario in which moving out and in to privately rented accommodation might mean doubling the rent and moving from a stable long-term tenancy to a yearly thing.

They technically have the ability to move whilst being heavily discouraged from doing so.

This is quite different to, for example, someone who owns or rents a house that costs 25% more than an equivalent one in a side street, say. It's more of a cost benefit analysis for them.

There is however the issue still that eventually, someone is going to end up living there, because housing in London isn't going to be left empty if it exists.
IMHO it seems problematic, that they can remotely push code changes, including replacement of trusted certificate, and bypass package managers.

I don't expect software to (significantly?) change during runtime, outside of what was packaged, signed, distributed and installed as part of apt/yum/pacman/etc.

I understand (not that I like or agree with) that some apps are just embedded web browsers, and load everything externally, and that Firefox extensions are in the end just some JS/CSS/HTML loaded outside of system's package manager. However, extensions have limited API they can interact with, and you need to allow permissions for each extension. Having Mozilla owned extension, that can modify core functionality, seems a bit scary.

Posted title is clickbait. Actual title: "People's Sense of Control Over Their Actions Is Reduced At A Fundamental Level When They're Angry Or Afraid."

What the article actually says is that when people are angry or afraid, they don't believe as strongly that their actions are within their control. This seems like one of those "well, duh" kind of studies, but it's pretty interesting, because it lends credence to the "crime of passion" defense in law.
Some dependencies have the package "luarocks-5.1" as a build dependency, and that package has been removed. Apparently, it's been replaced by "luarocks", so you can install in Archlinux by fixing these dependencies (tested on my own system):

set -e # halts if there's an error in the following
# move to a directory for building modified dependencies
mkdir -p build
cd build
for aurpkg in lua51-{say,luacheck,luassert}; do
# downloads the aur-package building script and files
cower -d "$aurpkg"
(
cd "$aurpkg"
# replace dependency
sed -ri 's/luarocks-?5\.1/luarocks/' PKGBUILD
# install dependencies, build package, and install
makepkg -si
)
done
# install luakit-git from aur
pacaur -y luakit-git

Of course, these things being in the AUR, it's preferable if one gives the PKGBUILDs a read before deciding to build and install each of them, but if you've judged it's OK, you can just run the above.

If luakit is really on an upswing, maybe the package will be moved back to one of the official repos.
It's pretty impossible to achieve even with a custom ROM unfortunately, even on LineageOS, you have a proprietary-files.txt for each model listing all the blobs you need to make your phone work.

My favorite math and physics texts - a list
How much of Acorn even having a chance is consistent with your correct as far as I know history of the British economy, with socialism only being (partly) rolled back by Thatcher? I'd also note that Apple et. al. were also subject to similar macroeconomic headwinds, although our inflation rate's peak was "only" 15%.

Bad luck indeed, although looking at the details of e.g. the Acorn Electron which had that production bottleneck doesn't suggest they had significantly stronger technology at the time, pretty much all 6502 based stuff like their competition except for e.g. the also local Sinclair Research with its Z80 based systems. In the US market there was also the Z80 based and monstrously successful Tandy TRS-80, per Wikipedia significantly outselling the Apple II for a long period.

Tandy also had a huge retail network to sell its wares, it's Radio Shack stores were the place to buy random basic electronic stuff all over the USA. Per Wikipedia, in 1982 4,300 company stores and 2,000 independent franchises in towns not big enough for a company store. One reason I mention this is to ask, how big was it in the U.K. post-WWII until Thatcher? It became a very big thing the US in the 1950s, combining local capital and market focus with centralized and bulk product planning, technology, marketing, and often purchasing.

Hmmmm, Tandy also did a Motorola 6809 based "Color Computer" of some note, but its expensive/superior CPU prompted them to forgo things that made competing 6502 systems more popular, like built in sound and graphics for e.g. games. There was also a very American cottage industry style market in Z80 CP/M systems built around the S-100 bus.
At no stage did the parent post state there are no good engineering managers at Mozilla. They just said that adjusting bug priorities is the work of a good engineering manager. There's a world of difference.

If you want to complain about knee-jerk overreactions, I think you might want to look in the mirror first.
Mozilla didn't really "break your browser remotely", it's more like there was a time bomb included that just went off.

If you try hard enough you can probably fix your browser, unpack the .xpi (it's just a zip), look at the source in experiments/skeleton, and try to figure out how to run something similar in the browser console.

But I really can't recommend doing this, I appreciate it's painful, but what you're running right now is massively insecure, there are published exploits. You're just asking for viruses by interacting with the internet using something that old.
The 3 Secrets of Negotiating Salary...
I start to believe what US has done to Huawei actually made the brand more famous. Smart phones are becoming commodities so marketing plays a big rule for sales. The tension between US government and Huawei certainly saved them tons of marketing money. Three years ago even many Chinese don't know Huawei, but look at what Huawei accomplished today. I travelled abroad frequently and people are talking Huawei everywhere even a street vendor I randomly met in nowhere Philippines, and they want to know more about my Huawei Porsche Design and discuss why Americans feels threatened by a company making electronic gadgets. No marketing money buys you that kind of popularity. In most places I traveled to, people don't believe the American version of the story, and when a superpower utilizes all its resources to try to destroy a company but couldn't do? There must be something the company did right.
Friday I had to waste precious pub time listening to my excited co-worker wax poetic about the camera on his new Huawei phone and it’s night vision capabilities. So this article was timely for me.

It is astonishing and terrifying to see so many on Hacker news denouncing free speech and calling for its demise.

It's not like democracies last forever but I didn't think I'd be alive to watch the point at which people began to reject it.
Indeed. Even if you don't believe in it at a philosophical level, you don't exactly have any choice in the matter. We all behave as if we have free will -- the only alternative would be to just stop doing anything (e.g. being catatonic).
