They should have standardized the font rendering for canvas. For those rare graphs using canvas i can live without Cleartype and only use normal anti aliasing, and with modern high DPI displays you hardly even need that in the first place anyway.

I mean, one of the major reasons for using canvas over DOM is to get pixel perfect placement of things, like text connecting to an arrow. If your fonts suddenly change size that won't work anymore. SVG has the same problem, on some computers with slightly larger letter spacing a line might become too long so it wraps and become two lines, totally spoiling the desired diagram.

> The only browser that I think could make me switch is qutebrowser, though the lack of an adblocker is an obstacle for me.

qutebrowser has a built-in adblocker (based on a host blacklist) which works fine for most scenarios.

There's also https://gitlab.com/jgkamat/jblock though that's not really supported until extension support is finished.
The AWS account is what's compromised. And Amazon is aiding the attacker in committing fraud. Both AWS and the attacker benefit from the continued charges to your account.

Every AWS and bank account has clear terms including how to unilaterally close the account. I'm not sure why you're slow walking this rather than pulling the fire alarm on both accounts.
Let's say that most math majors take this course in the first semester of their sophomore year. Then the bell curve grading gives you a much lower grade for identical work if you take the class in the first semester vs second semester. You also get a lower grade for going to a better school. You even get a lower grade for helping your classmates.

This makes the grades unfair and not useful for judging mastery of the subject. It only makes sense if the goal of a course is to beat the other students. For most courses, the goal should be learning.

Fully Automated Luxury Communism by Aaron Bastani
It is interesting and fun!
I have a loose suggestion - it could be published together with LaTeX codes for any formula present - so it would be great speed up for someone who wants to use various formula in his works.
However the choice of various areas is strange for me ( partially lack of some engineering areas, partially lack of very basic physics things, partially lack of mathematics)
A lot of things is missing: Maxwell-Clerk equations. Einstein equations. Schrödinger equation. Dirac equations.
Notable: Laplace equation and Maxwell-Clerk equations, wave equation!!!
Harmonic oscillator equation.
Quantum physics, Heisenberg relation at least please!
Hydrodynamic, notable no Navier-Stokes equations.
Special functions: Bessel, Jacobi, Lagrange, Chevyshev polynomials, various equations related to it.
No elliptic functions, no Weierstrass function mentioned.
No various number theory objects: Mobius function, Minkowski function ?() not mentioned. Congruences nearly omitted ( Chinese remainder theorem maybe)
Group theory, some simple results from category theory, Shannon theory completely missing.
No universal algebra.
No basic cryptography.
Complete lack of various numbering systems ( binary, hex at least)

1) Vary by cookie for $20/mo or free plans

2) A page rule for “don’t send origin cookies” or something (useful for not passing through those headers from the origin for assets/etc)

3) getting the peering connections better in AU so the network handles traffic like normal instead of only $200/mo plans getting priority/local AU routing
> I would think T-mobile would do the same with Sprint.

You would think but consider this: Sprint is a MUCH larger network than MetroPCS with 4 or 5 different vendor regions and a mess of half-deployed hardware on their network. They still have Clearwire junk hanging unplugged in their towers.

Then consider this, MetroPCS had mostly prepaid phone users... Sprint's got people paying down phones. In the old days the operator had a contract and the phone was subsidized, if they suddenly had to shut down towers in your area and you lost service.... the contract was void. With the exception of recent flagship models, there have always been Sprint variants due to weird spectrum allocations. MetroPCS just had more AWS spectrum for T-Mobile, so it was easy to move their customers in.

T-Mobile's going to be on the hook with sunsetting Sprint's network for like 2-3 years post-merger. There's also a ton of legacy M2M stuff around (fire alarms and fleet tracking) that will need time to replace.

My guess is that they move away from band 41 (2500mhz) TDD-LTE and go 5G with that since it's more useful than mmWave and won't be facing angry radar enthusiast pushback.
It’s generally assumed that a large percentage of clicks are fraud, on the order of a quarter. That’s after filtering out the detected fraud. So this is basically another form of fraud, you’d have to be a pretty large percentage of clicks to matter. And even then, advertisers are ok with the fraud, you just pay less per click assuming some percentage is fake, so in the end total dollars wouldn’t change, clicks go up and cpc goes down

They were terrified by the US. For good reason, arguably. I mean, I've read that the US nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki in part as a warning shot for the Soviets. And there were discussions in the late 40s of nuking the Soviet Union, preemptively.
> The new stuff is just so overdesigned

Seconding this. We spent as much as entire cities spend on a new line on a single stupid station in FiDI that looks like a stegosaurus carcass [1].

Add to that the overcapacity in builders on sites and endless reviews and you get the present mess. Some problems, like those owing to our common law system and higher wages, are unavoidable. But a lot of them are.

Although admittedly if Lambda scales to multiple JVMs as request rate increases, you'll have multiple pools. Or if your request rate is low you'll not get much benefit

Tort law. Because everyone has to carry huge liability insurance, everyone needs to go through tons of CYA process, which drives up cost and slows down work at every single transactional point in the entire economy. Hence the success of mega corporations like Amazon, Walmart, Exxon, etc. who don’t need to hedge that stupidly small risk for internal transactions. Same reasons why colleges now have deans of intersectional classism and now charge $60,000 a year.

> AT&T has almost twice as many customers as T-Mobile.

Your point being? T-Mobile has been gaining customers from them for years now. They've had something like 23 or 24 consecutive quarters with over 1M net subscriber adds. No other carrier has been able to match that pace.
This sounds really good! I've just signed and I would definitely use this. I'd be happy to help with beta testing.

This feels a lot like OpenAI 5, but with a few key differences - for one, it seems to handle randomly generated maps and other unexpected situations, and each agent does not have full knowledge of the others on its team. Really cool!

And it would be hilarious if this ends up giving us video game enemies that don't suck. (Until, of course, someone accidentally creates an RTS AI that manages to 'break out' and conquer the world or something)

Ask HN: A Good Alternative for ReCaptcha?
Are there any good alternatives for reCaptcha? It has come to a point that traditional text/sound captcha challenges are trivial to bypass today, and the more distorted we make them, the more challenging they are for humans.

Google went Sparta with their reCaptcha be, and nobody in their right mind should add a script that fingerprints users, specially from an adtech company.

Thanks for the comment, I've been using macs since 10.2 and didn't know that. I guess today is my lucky day.
I've always wondered whether there's a bunch of conditional statements constraining the output of the probabilistic model. That would seem like the logical thing to do, but I'm not that familiar with ML to know whether such thing is needed or not.
From the top comment:

How many people here have installed Chrome on the computers of their friends and family? Is there anybody here that never did that?

I remember recommending Chrome, even though I was a Firefox user, because Firefox on Windows tended to get infested with crappy toolbars and other extensions. Well not anymore.

And that whole recommendation process can always happen for another browser.

All it takes is for the developers to come back to Firefox. And I've seen a noticeable shift happening among my peers ever since Quantum.
Daily ranking of news headlines based on trends and objectivity
I was a Hikikomori (In North American) for 1 year. These bits from the article really resonate with me “I am anxious about the possibility of meeting people that I know” and “These anxieties may be related to a sense of humiliation, which suggests that they are afraid of being seen in their current situation". Before becoming a Hikikomori I had failed out of University and felt embarrassed to leave my room, also felt embarrassed at my physical appearance. Looking back at it, I wasted a year of my life doing nothing but getting high, and consuming entertainment. Great news though now I work 40 hours a week and waste my time getting high and consuming entertainment only during the evenings.
They should be seen as a public utility.

I dislike Facebook but for a lot of people it became part of their life and some information is now only available on Facebook.

As a public utility they should be regulated on what they are allow to restrict from their users.
I wonder how it differs from the managed Kafka of Confluent since they also support AWS as the backend. It sounds like the same story of Elasticsearch, MongoDB and Redis though.
Settings -> Phone -> Call blocking and Identification -> "Allow these apps to block calls and provide caller id"

You can add phone book apps there. Seems to be an iOS 12 feature, it wasn't there before.

Otherwise it will just use your contacts.
Sure, let's make some assumptions to show how the math works out. Let's assume a total population of 10k, every household is a married couple. Each parent is a worker making $50, resulting in every household (two workers) income being our same $100 median.

For a household size of 2.6, we wind up with 3,846 households. If there's 3,846 households with a median income of $100, that makes our total economy $384,600.

Now let's assume enough of those families divorce such that there are now only 2.5 people per household. We wind up with 4,000 households. We still have the same total economy of $384,600 but split across more households (4000) that results in a median household income of $96. That's a 4% drop in median income.

Now of course in real life the change in household size isn't just people getting divorced (or never marrying). It's also reduce birth rate. But I hope you can see how a small change in single people makes a relatively big change in median income.

All I'm suggesting is that if a particular user is concerned about their safety, I would suggest they take steps to insure it.

But if one wants to push for regulation to prevent the emergence of apps like TrueCaller, then perhaps we can start regulating robo-calls and sales calls more effectively? Then no one would need to install apps like TrueCaller in the first place.

Mass timber technique goes beyond engineered wood. It can be simply piles of wood. I saw an architect’s own residence built entirely from sawn timber and pegs. It is also consider a mass timber structure. Engineered wood products may help span large distances and things like that but it seems like the category “mass timber” requires mainly the use of wood where previously one might have used another material, and the use of simply more wood instead of cavities. It is really the opposite of wood frame construction.
Rare-earth elements are formed in supernovae, so if you happen to have a supernova in your backyard, you’re golden! Otherwise, it’s a rather expensive ordeal, battling those subnuclear forces.
Looking at their SCM, they updated to the newest upstream less than two days ago [1]. However, the change appears trivial, so it might be feasible to track upstream if building from source as long as their customization scripts remain compatible.

> tl;dr: In 2016 they spent over $250k on software development as a line-item, out of about $500k in revenue total. It's by far their biggest budget item.

The numbers are actually $250 million and $500 million. All the tables this report (as well as a newer one I have to search the link for) list the figures in thousands.
Unlisting does not mean that the info is removed.

If they have full access on anyone having installed the app, it means they also have mined the conversations with your contacts.

So they might not advertise what they know anymore, but the privacy concern remains anyway.

Not sure how their system works, but I set my name on TrueCaller and that's how it displays to others. I suppose of all my friends changed my name on their apps to Bozo, it would default to Bozo then. Who knows.
Confluent has had a cloud offering for years now but made the self-serve options more available. Now the basic tier pricing has been changed to only be billed on data transferred instead of provisioned throughput. Kafka is the same between both services but Confluent provides extra like KSQL, Schema Registry and some of their other tools.

Tort law is why colleges have "deans of intersectional classism" and charge $60,000 a year?

None of the universities in my states have those or charged near that, but, let's assume they had and did. How does that mitigate the liability insurance and why isn't that showing up in the budgets of state and local governments? Which companies selling that insurance should I invest in, if it is so profitable a buck to make?

We don't know, because suicide is the only category on the chart that reflects a psychological factor. If we tracked (more correctly, if we could track) people dying of loneliness but who don't commit suicide, perhaps we'd find the number to be hugely higher. When I look at the sadness of the elderly in large cities, my sense is that number would be a lot higher. But we just don't know.
