While it is true they are trying to do it, it's not anything new as Delhi has for decades tried to impose Hindi on all states and the southern ones don't take it well. That said, I don't think this can result in balkanization of India as generally India is way more united in-spite of issues like Delhi seen as having way too much control over the states (which is true in my opinion).

Also, IMO, balkanization of the India sub-continent might not be the worst thing to happen. I've seen how proud and patriotic Indian hate this idea but IMO it could be actually quite good for the whole region. I'd actually like to a more federated Indian Union that could eventually make way for Bangaladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Nepal to become member states. Something like the EU perhaps. While I don't think anything like this has any real chance of happening, it would be a sure shot way to bringing peace to the whole sub-continent IMHO.

I guess I’m kind of confused on what the discovery is; we have a quantum system evolving unitarily from one state at t_0 to another state at t, and the probability of measuring the system in one of two discrete states changes continuously as well (despite the actual measurement outcome being discrete). I thought this has been known for a long time, implied by the time dependent Schrodinger equation, so I didn’t quite catch from the Quanta article what is new, mathematically. Can anyone clarify?

Then using your analagy I could see a compromise here, youtube could host whatever content as you desire but it wouldn't necessarily surface it in seach or anywhere else on the site. It would only be accessible by direct link. That would satisfy the common carrier aspect as you could simply email the links out to your existing audience.

Because to use your analagy, to send out your pamphlets you must know your audience already.

Fun fact - there is some disagreement as to what the "D" in D-Day stands for. It seems most people agree it's just D for Day (so Day Day, sort of like how the LA Angels translates to the the angels angels), although some people think it's short for decision.

> an increase in censorship is never good.

Increases in curation (private censorship of one’s own offering) are very frequently good.

Whether the paying customers are consumers or advertisers, quality of curation is typically on of the main things they are paying for in content platforms. It’s true that there has been some effort to substitute algorithmic recommendation engines providing a consumer-specific view in place of curation, but it's also pretty clear that even the best of those is not viewed as an adequate solution by significant segments of the market.
It is absolutely possible to get all of those benefits while working remotely, provided you have some Tim wine overlap with at least part of your team. You just have to be explicit about it and not rely on the shoulder tap.
> Is a privately owned museum a "public square"?

I think a key insight in discussions like this is realising that “public square” is as more of a function rather than a state of ownership.

IMO if your company becomes big enough to obtain the function as a public square, you should be prepared to be required to act as one.

Legislation isn’t there yet, but just like privacy and data-ownership is getting more legislative attention these days, I wouldn’t be surprised if things like this are subject to regulation within 5-10 years.

As this infinitely repeated discussion shows, it’s clearly a problem which needs to be solved.

> One thing that was magical is that with a heavy code base of visual nodes, the brain can find entire sections very quickly, a bit like that cave analogy in the article. You could group nodes with coloured rectangle etc. and the way they were laid out you'd have instant recollection of its internal workings. By seeing a vague layout of nodes I knew this was about joystick controller, player controller, shader, etc. It's a massive advantage and takes less strain on the brain to "READ" again the code. It makes code re-discovery so much easier. If I had some gnarly behaviour it would instantly show in the pattern of nodes as how they were laid out.

This works if you did the grouping and layout. How well does it work if someone else did that, and the way they think doesn't match how you think?

On the other hand, that may be no different than if someone else did the directory structure, the grouping of data in objects, the naming of variables, and so on.

YouTube has become a mass communication platform, more akin to the telephone company than say a magazine. A magazine has editorial control over what it publishes, and can decide what to put into its content. A telephone company has no say over what is said over its phone lines.

YouTube is just asking to be regulated in such a way as the phone companies. And it should be regulated to follow the First Amendment as a mass communication platform, even though it is a private company.
I knew or could guess about influences from the other three, but didn't really know about influences from Portuguese - interesting. Got any examples? Only one I can think of right now is kaju in Hindi for cashew, which I think may be from Portuguese because I think I've read the Portuguese brought the cashew tree to India [1]. Okay, pao or pav [2] for a particular kind of bread in Mumbai and Maharashtra may be another one. I know that bread is called pan and similar words in some European languages, and many Portuguese words end in "o" or "ao".

Just looked it up in Google Translate, pão is Portuguese for bread:

This is a significantly underappreciated cause of the student debt crisis. People love to harp on overpaid or unneeded administrators and buildings but they are largely unaware of how much state budget cuts have contributed to rising tuition. My public alma mater gets well under 10% of their funding from the state at this point.
I always think of languages as a solution space, and some points in the space possessing bugs while others don't. A perfect language(impossible) would make it so you could write any correct version of a program in the language but not any incorrect version. And language constraints like static typing have the disadvantage that you're preventing a bunch of correct possible solutions while closing off incorrect solutions. Ideally closing off many more incorrect solutions than correct ones increasing your chance of landing in a correction solution.

And of course lots of out of band(non-language) processes and tools that influence this like unit testing/code reviews/strict coding guidelines. But it's always nicer when it's prevented at the language level as opposed to out of band.
I may misunderstand what you mean. Are you saying that you believe China will stop producing inferior (made as cheap as possible) copies of desirable goods and marking the price up? Why would they stop? They have already proven that they have no interest in acting in good faith, and in the absence of morals, this practice is obviously much more profitable than innovation.

China now has all the capital & knowledge required to become the worldwide leader in innovation. However, their entire industrial culture was built to the specifications of "making cheap copies". It will be interesting to see what the side effects of those origins will be for China in the long run.

It's probably also more energy-proportional. newer CPUs and hardware in general do a much better job of scaling power use with demand. so if you're not running flat out 24x7, you're probably using less power in practice, even though your max may be higher now.

Well yes, I agree. I don't think anyone would argue that though. I believe the argument being made though was that a company didn't need to offer Tech Hub market rate when they could simply offer above-market rate for a remote worker, and then both parties would come out economically ahead.

The way your comment was worded, I thought you meant accepting $140k/year was akin to being in abject poverty, which seemed like a very uninformed view of the world. I don't think that's what you meant though.

These types of companies are really interesting to me, I had no idea they've raised close to $1B over 5 rounds/7 years though[1]! Curious what they've needed that for, I would presume they've sold quite a few of these plus the whole subscription model.

More productive blue-collar work is good though, because it results in two things:

- a path to higher earnings for those without college-level education, slowing if not eliminating the hollowing out of a lot of traditional "middle class" jobs

- said workers will also result in additional money flowing through the economy. Lower earning workers spend more of their income on goods and services as opposed to savings, boosting the economy. It's why Ford paid his workers enough to be able to afford his cars, a crazy idea at the time; a healthy middle class is one that can spend money on further things. The increasing economic inequality in America has mostly resulted in lower-earning workers using credit to try and replace middle-class earning power, and we saw how well that turned out the last recession.
> They've decided that these neo-Nazi videos are causing violence

By this logic, shouldn't neo-Nazi rallies or protests be "causing violence" as well because they influence people to commit violent acts later the same way neo-Nazi videos influence people? Yet that is the very thing the officers in GP's comment are protecting.
Not just Hindi but Gujarati has a dialect that is heavily influenced by Perso-Arabic vocabulary called Lisan ud-Da'wat [0] As a native speaker of the later, I can fully attest to the fact that the language isn't mutually intelligible with Gujarati as spoken in India. It is even more true for the written form of these languages. There's a day and night difference with Perso-Arabic influence simply overwhelming its Gujarati roots.

This is also true for Hindi and Urdu, and you can tell esp if you're exposed to both. When you study both the languages theologically and linguistically, the differences become ever more apparent. It is only the mash of Hindi-Urdu called Hindustani [1] (popularized in modern day by Bollywood) that's mutually intelligible to both Hindi and Urdu speakers alike, and only in its spoken form.

I, for sure, know that the Punjabi [2] spoke in Multan (Saraiki) sounds different than anything I've heard in India; but my Indian Punjabi friends tell me its mutually intelligible to them.

Imo, the Hindi-Urdu debate isn't similar to a Croatian-Serbian or even the EasternPunjabi-WesternPunjabi one, where the vocabulary remains the same for the most part and only phonetics remain a predominant source of divergence.

Didn’t Canada, the EU and Mexico have tariffs on US products before Trump? Importing clothing, computers and similar goods into Mexico has always faced stiff taxes. Milk into Canada, heavily taxed. American cars and motorcycles in Europe, also taxed. The idea that Trump invented protectionist tariffs is ridiculous. Korea also has had significant tariffs and their cousin, quotas. Try to import rice into Korea, it’s heavily taxed, American beef as well. It’s almost impossible to buy an American car in Korea as well. The pots are meeting the kettle and the kettle is willing to be a lot more black than it used to be.

> I'm not tracking anyone

Context is fun eh.

> But the majority of Firefox users aren't choosing it for privacy reasons

I'd like some stats on that please. Given the market share Firefox has why are people installing Firefox?

> so these privacy-preserving features are not a good signal that the user actually wants that privacy.

I consider installing privacy protecting software a pretty good signal but maybe I'm being generous.

> It was worse for do-not-track, as all the major browsers enabled it by default, making it not at all a signal of user preference.

Seems like a pretty strong signal that people don't want to be tracked to me, if a browser impliments something as a default then it would suggest to me that they know more than 50% of their userbase would think not being tracked online is a pretty fucking good idea.
Yes, that is a very good point. The 'quantum leap' thing comes from the origin of quantum mechanics when things were not well understood and a struggle for understanding was going on and crude concepts were introduced. The more correct theory for atomic decays has been known to be quantum electrodynamics for a long time now. Since an atom is a thing that extends over some space the Feynman diagrams that contribute to it have multiple vertices and the whole thing clearly should be extended over space and time. It is nice to have experimental confirmation of this but it really is quite the opposite of unexpected.
This is all a very interesting thought experiment, but you're supposing some attempt at logical consistency which will surely not be made.

What this announcement actually means is that YouTube is going to become more politically active in their content curation. This is what a subset of their employees, as well as influential bluechecked Twitterati, have been lobbying for. As a progressive/neo-liberal institution, it will apply exactly the sort of differential policy enforcement that one might expect.

I won't delve into the details of how that applies to your examples because it would quickly become too controversial for HN.

I wrote a relatively simple web application (https://github.com/DSpeckhals/bible.rs) about 9 months ago with version 0.7. The initial code changes to migrate to 1.0 weren't that bad (https://github.com/DSpeckhals/bible.rs/commit/fbd7e8207023a0...). The most substantial changes I made during the migration weren't necessary, but according to the author, are a little more idiomatic actix-web: moving from sync arbiter actors for Diesel connections to just using `web::block`. Both use a threadpool behind the scenes, but `web::block` is less verbose.

I've been extremely satisfied with its performance and ergonomic abstractions over HTTP and async Rust that actix-web offers. And like others have mentioned, the author and other contributors provided me with some good, practical answers to a few questions I had.
I read "How Not to Die" recently. By LCHF, are you referring to an "Atkins" diet of sorts? High meat/animal fats, vegetables, low carb, low fruit?

I'd be interested in any sources that support that diet for anything other than weight loss - I was under the impression it led to pretty poor health outcomes (apart from bmi/diabetes management)
Telling a silenced victim that they can easily move to somewhere else in digital space is of little comfort when their complaint is that they are being denied access to a public audience who are habitually congregating in an existing location.

It's unfortunate that China's state-run media turned it into actual propaganda. What point are you trying to make?
It depends on the environment. Mortality of cholera is high (~ 60 % if untreated), but by spreading abundantly the bacterium finds a supply of new victims.

I seem to remember a study from ages ago where they compared strains of HIV from South Africa and Japan. Condom usage in South Africa is low, so the virus evolved to develop a high viral load quickly. In Japan the opposite was true, condom usage was high, the strains that caused the victim to die early became extinct.
Speaking from my own very limited experience, I think C++ can be pretty nice if you basically write straight C but borrow from the C++ STL. Smart pointers (std::unique_ptr, std::shared_ptr, etc), collections (std::vector, std::unordered_map, std::set, std::stack, std::priority_queue), and stuff like std::tuple and std::optional really make C feel less clunky without getting too gross.
The generation of random email addresses for the accounts are a really neat and interesting feature I'm glad some privacy centered companies are trying out.

I've seen comments here on HN from people that has implemented systems like this on their own and it seems to have been quite successful, making it possible not only to hold better keep privacy but also to identify what company leaked/sold your data. I don't have the time to do this myself but would be interested if some company made this an easy to use feature. It is time identity and got a bit separated from things like email on the Internet. Most companies has been shown to not hold on to our information with the respect it deserves.

All in all I like that such a large company as Apple is taking the privacy thing and running with it. Even though I am not a costumer of theirs I have to say things around the security topic has always been their strong suit. Together with Firefox privacy maybe has a chance to become a bigger topic in the mainstream.

> trying to impose Hindi on Indians

That turned out to be a big hoax. This is the second time such a frenzy was created for no apparent reason. There is no such "imposition" done by the Centre. A proposal is in draft which makes third-language compulsory for students. That does not mean Hindi would be imposed. The student can choose whichever language s/he wants to learn. The third language thing is implemented in quite a few states already but it is not Nationwide. This should be encouraged as it would allow students from Hindi belt and Dravidian states to learn a different third language.

> speak diverse set of languages

I disagree completely. I am from South and I can tell you that we have too much pride in our languages. So much so that we would rather speak English with our fellow Indians but not learn a different Indian language. Balkanization has already happened. What we need to do is try to unite by shedding this arrogance of language superiority. It doesn't matter which language came "first" or which is the most "ancient". A language is means of communication. That is it! There is no need for all this frenzy around it.
