I agree that we cover terrorism too much in the news.

However, if you look at the date ranges for what is arguably the most important graph in the post: https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2018/10/Causes-of-death-v...

They run from 1999-2016 for both the news organizations, and from 2004-2016 for the Google searches. 9/11 happened in 2001, so of course there were going to be lots of articles about that, and less searches if you exclude that time period.

The deaths were selected from 2016 alone, which is maybe reasonable, but then why select articles from a range of years elsewhere? Certainly there were more deaths in 2001 from terrorism than any other year in this range, so excluding it from some things while including it in others seems like an act of Hanlon if nothing else.
I’ve tried it but found it too aesthetically displeasing when using a MacBook to not have a page centered if it’s supposed to be centered. It’s like the entire system is made to be used in a symmetrical way and I break it because of tabs. Doesn’t feel right

Hiding the bar defeats its purpose and with small icons I can fit more tabs horizontally without scrolling than vertically with tree tabs. Another reason would be if dev tools are open and they already take away half the horizontal space

So usually I have tabs in one window related to a single project or topic until they overflow (chrome will never scroll the bar. If it doesn’t fit the tab icons are simply invisible) at which point I just split in two windows that stay in the same Mac space for that project/topic

I don't see it as a problem, myself. Children have gone from economic boon (more child labor to help the family) to economic expense. It makes more sense to parents to have one or two kids and pour resources into them, rather than having a half-dozen, half of whom will die as children. And for adults who aren't really infatuated with parenting, they can skip it altogether, not needing children to care for them in their old age.

抓我的家人，就是想影响我的意志，我家人给我的鼓舞就是鼓舞我的意志。女儿写给我的信说，她会长期做好思想准备，她也很乐观，我就放心了，减轻了很大压力。我要超越个人、超越家庭、超越华为来思考这个世界上的问题，否则我就不客观了。

Arresting my relatives is intended to affect my determination; the encouragement I receive from my relatives is to encourage my determination. My daughter wrote me a letter, saying that she will mentally prepare for the long term; she's also very optimistic; I'm relieved; this has reduced the pressure a lot. I want to go beyond myself, beyond my family, beyond Huawei and consider the problems of this world, otherwise I wouldn't be objective anymore.
Yeah, this is actually one of the main reasons I use Firefox instead of Chrome. I really dislike Chrome's tab minimizing behaviour, not every website has a clearly distinguishable favicon and even if it did, I often have multiple tabs from the same website open.

Putting your last reply in the context of the entire reply chain, I'm confused about what you think we are arguing about?
My thing I would like first is some visibility into the data that people have about me and what other entities that data goes to (Google does this somewhat which had been cool for me but I haven't found it for other places). I don't mind being tracked in many cases but no visibility makes it so even if there were things I really care about I wouldn't know about it.
Panopticlick says I have "strong protection against Web tracking" but amiunique.org says I'm unique. Though amiunique also claims my TOR is fingerprint is one of six.
You can disable it on a per website basis. That's what I do. It protects me from random websites and websites I don't trust. I also find that it speeds up page load because it's loading less ad tech.
What's the relevant application here? If you're suggesting this could be added by video editing software or display hardware, it seems if everyone knew about such watermarking it'd be trivial to strip out and turn into noise, so it would work publicly exactly once.

If you're saying it'd be added by legitimate camera sensors, well it wouldn't beat the possibilities I suggested already of simply feeding tampered data to the sensor.

Question from a non-mathematician to any HN mathematician...

Has any work been done on the continuum theory by viewing different infinite sets as dimensions (like arrays) of infinity rather than sizes of infinity?

Perhaps it's a superfluous distinction, but it seems that an infinite set of integers can be viewed as a 1-dimensional infinity. The set of all real numbers between 0 & 1 (or any 2 consecutive integers) could equivalently be viewed as a 1-D infinity. However, the set of real numbers between 0 and 2 (or any 3 consecutive integers) would be a 2D infinity, and by extension the set of all real numbers would be an infinite dimensional infinity.

It is copyleft in the sense that modifications to the library must be MPL-licensed as well, but doesn't impose any restrictions on apps merely using the library. This avoids the LGPL’s complicated re-linking requirements which are very hard to fulfill for iOS apps (as mentioned elsewhere in this thread).

Disclaimer: I live in Seattle.

Since I was curious about the numbers, I went back and looked it up. Since June of 2009 (ie, the same time period) median housing price in Seattle has gone from $365,000 to $655,000. Numerically that's huge, but it's actually only about 7% faster growth than my parents' property-- a growth rate that most people here, including yourself, seem to view as unexceptional. This in a city that by all accounts is exploding in population and in the midst of a dire housing crunch which demands deregulation.

Don't get me wrong-- 7% is a lot of money. But it's an effect size that could easily be explained by simple profiteering, FOMO, construction cost increases, or any number of other local factors that have little to do with the regulatory environment. Paradoxically, it could even be caused by new construction, since new homes and condos typically cost more than the homes they're replacing.

None of this is to say that I'm 100% certain regulation doesn't play a role in Seattle's housing woes. But the difference in how these two situations are perceived should, I think, represent a warning about conventional wisdom in both places.

As someone potentially affected by government shutdowns, my employer is planning well in advance of it making the news.

I care about guns, but not enough to actively try to influence gun legislation. Historically, as long as my purchases are legal at the time of purchase, I'm almost certainly fine.

I care about taxes insofar as I pay them, but outside of when I'm actually doing my taxes I don't really care. I do check current rates periodically when updating my budget, but that's not a "current events" thing, it's a "make sure my budget is accurate" thing.

I am related to someone who uses SNAP. I assume that if their benefits change meaningfully they'll hear about it from the government agency managing those benefits and I'll hear about it from them.

Unless I'm going to go out and try to influence legislation about any of the above before it's passed (which I'm not), I utterly do not care about them until they affect me, and I'm likely to find out when they do without following the news. As I said above, I do vote and I do research the things I vote on, but I do that right before I vote. I would never remember the odd related news story I read 6 months prior the relates to a particular ballot proposition anyway.

(The rest of the points you mentioned don't apply to me at all so I don't have any opinion on whether I would feel differently about keeping up with current events if they did.)

This is lovely, and I should integrate it with the chronology based approach I've been using.

I keep an infinite log by appending a timestamp to the beginning of the lines written to my history file, then merging this into a growing log with an hourly cronjob that runs sort -n | uniq on the file and the new version of the shell history. This way the shell history file is just a buffer. It doesn't get too big to cause corruption or other issues with reverse search on the command line. I just grep my way through the big history file to figure out what I was doing and when.

This entire analysis is predicated on ignoring tail risk. Most causes of death are pretty normal events; if we took no measures to prevent any of them then chances are most of them would increase by very small amounts; maybe doubling for the most dramatic cases.

Terrorism is especially terrifying in this regard because if left unrestrained, I think it is pretty intuitively obvious that there is no realistic bound on the amount of deaths that it would cause. The lack of deaths is not a function of desire on the part of terrorists to cause death, but just their ability to do so.

In some ways this is similar to the reaction to nuclear power -- even though practically speaking it is very safe, if it were to go wrong, it could got wrong on a scale that is not really possible for almost any other source of energy. Regulations and safety practices can go a long way towards mitigating this, but the tail risk remains a huge unknown, not in the probability sense, but in the negative impact sense.

iTerm2 is a decent reason. I've tried to switch to Linux numerous times and I have yet to find a terminal app that is even half as good as iTerm. And command line tools on Windows are a joke currently, at least until the new one comes out soon (which looks good, but I doubt it will be better than iTerm). If you spend a lot of time in your terminal, being able to use the best one that behaves the way you want it to and is customizable nearly to a fault is a decent reason to stick to Mac

Show HN: Groupal end-to-end encrypted chat using the WebCryptoAPI
We have put a lot of effort into investigating and assessing different licensing options. There are two different perspectives on this: the user perspective where MIT of course seems to be among the most attractive ones at first glance. Then, there's the company perspective: what is the business model and how is development going to be sustainable in the long run?

We have come to the conclusion that LGPL is currently the best option to align both of these perspectives and provide the best value in the long run.

If GPL/LGPL isn't sufficient for you, we'll be offering a commercial license with fair terms as an alternative.
> A big reason why "we're losing" is that kind of defeatist attitude.

A big reason why losses can be so bad is that approach of refusing to accept reality. It robs you of time & resources that would be better spent on a solution for what happens after.

https://safer.chat is an end-to-end encrypted chat that allows to create rooms with up to 4 participants, the idea is to have what cryptocat used to be, without the need to install browser extensions or applications, in 2019 we have the Web Crypto API which allow us to do all operations.

We do not store any tracking information or history, the server logs doesn't include any keys, nor encrypted messages, in fact, all the server's data lives in-memory.

In order to start a conversation, you need to choose a room and a password, then, only people knowing these details are able to log into that room, this password isn't transferred in plain text.

This is a side project built by me and a friend just because we wanted to have an simple end-to-end encrypted chat available, you can expect it to be live for at least a year.

It is also partially open source (https://github.com/wiringbits/safer.chat), we hope you enjoy it.

Agreed, for most users there's effectively no ongoing support for 14.04, which makes the way it appears in this table highly misleading. Based on this I wouldn't recommend this list.

For this kind of situation I would suggest marking the item in red with a footnote indicating that some limited support is still available.
> just wanted to say that people are making a big fuss about something that is completely trivial.

Completely trivial to you. I say that's fair and I respect your stance. It's also fair that there are people for whom this is not trivial at all. You should be able to respect their stance.
I find it really interesting that when a company is making moves in a direction that benefits privacy of consumers, everyone takes the opportunity to shit on them for past mistakes or how it isn't good enough or why isn't it on by default or any other thing they can find to shit on.

Yes, every single company has made mistakes. FireFox is no exception. Some of them were pretty egregious. Mistakes are - hopefully - an opportunity to learn and adjust, move forward, and continue progress towards something we all want: privacy.

We should absolutely call out companies when they make mistakes or ill-advised choices. I'm not saying we shouldn't. However, we should also _applaud_ efforts that are in-line with bringing privacy to consumers. Not just spend all of our time looking for something negative to be outraged at.

This always-negative/outrage attitude just erodes any sort of meaningful discussion.

There's a big difference between surrender and "accepting reality" when formulating tactics and strategy.

>>> ...[it's] not enough ... to make a difference....we're losing. The web is now closed...

...is more surrender than anything.

Many, many important social changes in the past century happened because some group of people refused to "accept reality" and surrender to the status quo, and instead embarked on a seemly quixotic effort against all odds to change it. They don't all succeed, but many do. Don't smother that success in the crib.
Another point is that in some parts of the country the concept of “city” breaks down. There is basically no meaningful difference between being from suburban neighborhoods of Glendale, AZ and nearby suburban neighborhoods of Phoenix. (People who are too young to be dealing with water bills, garbage collection, etc. often don’t even know which one they live in).

Even the US Postal Service doesn’t necessarily respect local political boundaries. I grew up in Phoenix, close to the Glendale border, and my address said “Glendale, AZ”.

As it was described to me, the watermarking is encoded in such a way that it would be prohibitively expensive computationally to offset or overwrite it.
Tab management is worse on safari vs chrome. Until recently, there were no favicons in tabs so it was hard to differentiate, and once you have a lot of tabs you have to scroll, while on chrome there is no scrolling and you can use favicons to see all of your tabs at a glance.

FF has tab scrolling, but you also have tree style tabs which is better than chrome when you have a lot of tabs. Container tabs are also a big plus and is what made me start using firefox again. Chrome has a tree style tabs extension but the user experience makes it unusable for me. I can't find it for safari.

Firefox is still slower & consumes more CPU than chrome and safari after all of the improvements. Especially on a few heavyweight websites I use a lot, like facebook and google maps. Chrome is fast enough by comparison. So on my personal macbook I never use firefox because it's too slow.

If safari fixed it's tab issues then I would use it. But being silent apple, they will probably never fix that because it goes against some designer's idea of good design. Look how long it took to get favicons in tabs and it's still not the default option.
