Ive been running raspberry pis on sd cards for years and really haven't had any issues. And if I did have an issue I’d just fire up a new sd card and dd the disk image back on.

It’s actually one of the great features of the PI IMO, having the ability to quickly swap disks and reboot. Reminds me of the computers and video games of yesterday.
Calling FuSha (Modern Standard Arabic) a

>neutral and more grammatically correct version of the language

is nuts. Arabic isn’t a language any more than the Romance languages are. Moroccan, Egyptian and Yemeni Arabic are at least as divergent as Spanish, French and Romanian. FuSha is like if the entire Romance speaking world wrote in Latin.

The academic contexts FuSha is used in are also limited to primary and secondary instruction, Arabic language and religion mostly. Tertiary education across the Arab world is often conducted in English or French so the educated classes will speak at least one of those languages at a near native level. That’s part of why there are fewer books translated into Arabic each year than into Dutch.
As long as more than a trivial number of people need to access your application from a network that is bigger than one room, your application is at risk.

But definitely running in public shared cloud exposes you to certain kinds of attack vectors that are not present in an on-prem deployment.

But it also protects you from certain types of attack vectors that your on-prem may not.

For example, you can be a co-incidental victim of a mass hack of public cloud.
But it would be difficult to target your specific machines in the cloud (assuming your application surface is secure) but it might be easier when you are on-prem (easy to locate, isolate and infiltrate etc).
I'm not sure if adding an additional language or two to C makes the codebase simpler than pure C++ code.

What's more, I've witnessed quite a few times the code generating program becoming incomprehensible after more and more parts of the code gets generated conditionally.
I don't see how any of the above should have a significant impact.

Even if just one CEO decided to prefer profitability and market share over... bragging about employee count (seriously?), they would steal market share from their competitors over time.
How is this a flame war, and how is it off topic? I'd like an explanation of both accusations please.

I never said they were faked. In another post I said that I couldn't find any reference to them to be able to judge if they were particularly popular content on the sub or if they were heavily downvoted.
Oh, you have a model 3.

On the model S, with the v9 update no other screens were scrollable. I knew you could disable it, and I hunted for quite some time before I found the trick.

I recently got a 2019.x update which added language options to the "Display" pane, and that became the second pane to be scrollable.

(There's also the obvious thought that NO setting should require scrolling to find because you're driving a car)

Ethics are complicated.

Some people think that Google is evil. Others think that Facebook is evil. Yet thousands of programmers and non-programmers work there, many from HN.

Some think all ads are evil. Others think ads are good because they pay for freely accessible content online.

It's complicated.
That, and it should be pretty easy to filter out this kind of fake "chaff" data.
I would imagine the issue is certainly because they can't. What is hateful to you is charming and encouraging to someone else. Social norms and cultural differences are gigantic. Look at the recent controversy with the conservative guy on YouTube who referred to a reported from Vox as their 'queer Latino reporter' and it was seen as hate speech... despite the Vox reporter openly and frequently labelling themselves as Voxs queer Latino reporter. How is a computer supposed to interpret that? How is it supposed to know that when person A says something and when person B says the exact same words, referring to the exact same subject, that the greater context of the speakers background political affiliations and those of their audience actually determine the 'meaning' behind the statement, not the statement itself?

This is not an easy problem, and it does no one any good to pretend that it is. Tackling the issue also requires those considering it to consider other social situations. Is someone supporting equal treatment of women in Saudia Arabia practicing hate speech against the conservative ruling party? If we'd had systems that let us actively regulate speech in the way we can now, would it have been appropriate to block Martin Luther King Jr. because his message was growing civil disobedience and causing families to bicker over race politics? Why are we so damn certain that any argument today will necessarily be decided by a regression rather than a wider acceptance of more progress? Change in human societies is always ugly, always comes at the cost of pain and strife, and on the balance has usually moved us in a forward direction. I can't say the same for censorship. Censorship makes impossible any forward movement, and only serves to leave regressive mindsets to fester and make-believe that they have more support than they actually do.
>I didn't say all news sources are "equally biased".

>I didn't say the "aggregates" produce an unbiased result.

This is correct. I didn't quote you. I'm saying that in order for your conclusion to hold, the above assumptions must be true, which they're not. Whether or not you stated the assumptions is irrelevant.

>Seeing different opinions exposes to you the biases of every news source. If you just watch foxnews or cnn all day, you won't be able to pick up on the bias. But if you watch both, the biases of both become blatantly obvious.

There is zero reason to believe that watching one source will accurately expose the bias in another source, rather than simply contradict it. What I mean is that watching multiple news sources will not necessarily help you distinguish fact from bias.

To give an example, if news A presents a factual statement, and news B presents a lie that contradicts A, you are no better off by watching both news sources.

My statement has exactly nothing to do with "mainstream media." I'm just addressing the fallacy stated above.
You can ship the node binary, then have the "app" open up in "chrome-less" mode (no browser bars, like with electron). It's supported in IE, and Chrome. Firefox also supports "chrome-less" but only for URL's that start with file:// meanwhile some browser features require https:// and http://localhost/ is not good enough. While it is possible to build a local web app, browsers could make it easier to do so. Also take a look at feature phones that run forked versions of FirefoxOS, it's a growing market. Where apps are basically packaged local web apps. There's also Chrome apps, but they have been deprecated (never build something on top of Google tech :P)
I don't understand your (or Taleb's) point. If you insist on "no probability without ergodicity" then you can't put a probability on stock price movement, or any election or sporting event. But people put probabilities on those all the time. If that breaks the assumptions of frequentist models then it's the frequentists who are wrong about what people mean when they use probabilities.

I agree with the idea that Nate Silver is an entertainer, and if he were a bookie he'd need to be more precise about the odds he places on things and his range of uncertainty. But to me that doesn't suggest that Silver shouldn't speak in terms of probability at all. For a journalist (a big caveat) he's remarkable for being rigorous, open about his level of certainty, and willing to admit to mistakes.

No but SO has always prided themselves on reasonable, pro-consumer, safe advertisements. So the fact that SO is allowing this speaks to them a little, its unlikely they know whats happening but it's still a little gross.
For everday use at my desk while working, Audio-Technica ATH-M50x have been my go to for the last couple years. They don't have noise cancelling, which I prefer for when I'm at work so I don't end up ignoring people when they come to my desk. The sound quality is really good, no complaints.

I do use Bose QC35s when travelling though. The noise cancelling makes airports and flying a much much better and less obnoxious experience. I high recommend them, but don't like them when I'm working.

So.. should we ban everything which teens find trendy for everyone? E-cigs are already age-restricted, same as alcohol and weed (which kids are also consuming). Why is vaping specifically targeted? Perhaps we should go after the schools which are not doing anything about it or after the parents who aren't paying attention to their kid's finances?

This is just another moral panic.

These kinds of comments make me so disappointed. You are out of touch. Labeling people that you don’t understand as “fascist” is going to lead you to a shithole.

Get out of your bubble, arm yourself with some compassion, and go try and understand what motivates people to disrupt the status quo. Most trump supporters hate fascism. You are deluding yourself by tossing a mr. yuck sticker on people you don’t understand.
Why is this surprising to anyone? It is clear that ads use tracking mechanisms and cookies and this is no different.

Audio feature detection isn't even a novel techique.

I've seen trackers look at download stream patterns to detect whether or not BBR congestion control is used, I have seen mouse latency based on the difference between mouse ups and downs in double clocks and I have seen speed-of-interaction checks in mouse movements.

Just checking for the constructor of something an ad might legitimately use (like audio) is relatively benign to be honest and it is naive to expect ads to not do this and it is why I use an ad blocker even on sites without annoying ads
It's actually a hard problem, similar to porn detection without using humans (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it). Blocking purely based on keywords or Bayesian filtering usually paints too broad a stroke and ends up limiting well-intended free speech (I once had a comment blocked for arguing AGAINST racism!). It's similar to the "blocking all mention of sex also blocks sex education" problem. It seems to take a fully-fleshed-out intelligence to grasp the true meaning behind even something as innocuous-looking as a written sentence.

Your assumption that people more intelligent than you "should have figured this out by now" belies the very problem- no one has yet come up with a good automated solution for this. If YOU do, you'll be a millionaire.

I just realize what you're implying here. You think only China state-controlled "bots", or some China govt sponsored actors would be posting comments like what I posted here, right? OMG, if that's what you think, you really need to get out to other part of the world and ask people what they think of this whole Huawei attack. You'd be surprised how many people think the bad actor here is the US govt.

This is what I really want ... the ability to blanket block certain channels. I have zero interest in Joe f’ing Rogan... but apparently everyone else in my marketing profile does nothing but watch his videos. No matter what I look for, or what I’m watching, there’s some goddamn Joe Rogan video in my search results or recs.
I feel like I'm going to be in a huge minority here but I am one of those developers that builds websites that won't load without js. Hear me out though.

I primarily work with ecom, and we build highly dynamic sites in an increasingly rapid arms race for engaging design.

Before vue I worked with jQuery like everyone else, controlling the dom manually to react to changes in application state. Those were dark days.

Now I can manage the cart state and increasingly everything else over apis and have the application display all these updates in real time, along with all the whizz bang the design team decides is flavour of the week. All in not much more time than jQuery and basic layouts previously took.

So, sorry if my site doesn't load without JS, but it's not about the ads. The web isn't just document display anymore, everything is an app.
Why does treating a nation as an extended tribe require explaining atrocities in Africa?

>On the contrary, at least one study found

Among social sciences a single study has very little weight. Given how often it is quoted despite this signals a flaw in popular cultures relationship with the field.

Your level of discourse is not conducive to your points. You rant to get citations from others without providing any of your own (just telling people to look it up) and then you make unfounded assumptions about the behavior of those you converse with. If you want to get your point across, you’re rhetoric does you no favors.

Your economic arguments have so far been “debt is free and there’s no multiplier effect on tax cuts” which seems dumbfounding to anyone who studied economics. Tax cuts that aren’t associated with federal spending decreases are obviously going to increase spending. Also, if you really believe the US debt is free money, why have any taxes at all? Your arguments are incoherent, unspecified and full of ad hominema.
It's most likely for web scraper detection. State of the art was using video codec availability as fairly reliable data point, and I haven't seen audio being used for this. Quite interesting.
Taste is subjective therefore best is subjective as well. I make the "best" beef fillet steak (for me), but most people would throw it away (it's well done, I prefer it like that... but waiters often try to convince me to change my order if I order a well done steak!).

A word of warning: go to the actual site and find the contact details there.

I've seen an attacker change the contact details listed on Google search results (the ones that appear in the boxes) to their own.

There is no way that "3 hours of planes taking off" or "3 hours of rain" are getting 10's of millions of views without getting recommended widely, including myself. 18 hours of "ambient sounds" has 130 million views so that's some heavy promotion, not just some occasional insomniac using search.
It is different from the original proposal and takes user feedback into account. At the end of the day one has to make the call.

I think I can live with it.
We're not talking about banning these posts, or hiding them, or censoring them. Just not showing them as widely as they do other posts. It doesn't even need to go as deep as "this is hateful", but rather "this has the potential to be hateful" or giving the author the ability to control how widely the message is being shared.

I see these people here trying to debate solutions like good engineers, but unless they work at Twitter, it's a waste. We can guess all day and come up with a million solutions but when it comes down to it, Twitter absolutely has the ability to control posts that spiral out of control. What they don't have is the desire to do so.
A lot of places have permissions you need to buy. If these are more expensive you get less people but I am not sure where the sweet spot is between less people and still making money.

Or at least keep it in the "watch again" section. I appreciate it from time-to-time for certain music videos and think "sure, I'll listen to that again".
I don't have time to reply to this in-depth, but I think that your comment actually elucidated the biggest issue, which is that this demonization and distrust of the mainstream media has conflated commercialized TV news like CNN (which, I'll freely admit, has embraced terrible framing) with actual news outlets (WashPo, Atlantic, NYTimes, etc). There is a difference between what CNN does and what WashPo does.

Also, having worked in a newsroom myself, I can attest to the fact that the firewall between sales/business and the journalists is real and strong. Not perfect, but it does a hell of a job, and is much, much better than the wild west of financing currently in the indie reporting space.
I think the reality is more complicated. People sort of suspect being spied on, but it's hidden, not so real. It's abstract so if you ask any reasonable person, they'll say they don't like the spying, but few will take an impairment in function for something they use in order to avoid it because it seems somewhat distant.
The times I have used CAS to help with algebraic simplification, I've found the same problem, regardless of using SymPy or the more feature-filled Mathematica: the package's rules for simplification often obscure useful forms that lead to insight. The CAS gives you the correct result, of course, but I end up having to apply significant post-processing to the result by forcing substitutions that can take almost as much time as doing the algebra by hand.

As a simple example, consider the transfer function of a RLC circuit from basic electronics. It might contain a expression of the form: s^2 + (R/L) * s + 1/(LC). What's often helpful is to express this in terms of the unitless form 1 + s/(Q * w0) + (s/w0)^2, where w0 is the resonance frequency and Q is the quality factor. In a complicated example with more components, the value of w0 might be related to the simple form of 1/sqrt(LC) by some unitless factor, or there's some other helpful way to write things that neatly relate it to the basic case, but SymPy/Mathematica will drag its feet showing you that. I wish there was more done on improving the insight and meaningfulness of results from CAS to the experimenter.
Isn't this the same sub reddit that had the admins edit comments on a database level? Calling something fake/false flag seems a lot more reasonable when there is already a confirmed case.
In most cases, I don’t think it’s ads as concept that’s the problem. If websites only had static ads in the sidebar, I question how many people would bother with ad blockers.

But when ads block content; include flashing animations, audio, and video; and take up more layout space on a site than the actual content; then people have had enough.

I say we should call this hypothesis the George R. R. Martin Theory of Writers Block.
There is no trend. Plenty of conservative and right-wing subs still exist on Reddit, plenty of conservatives and right-wing commenters are still on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc. There has been no general purge of conservative or right-wing content from social media.

Also, it's odd that you seem to have missed the specific context of this thread entirely, to the point of never even having read The_Donald once, and having no idea of the nature of their politics, much less the alleged actions leading to their quarantine. Did you just comment based on the title alone?
Gwynne Shotwell runs SpaceX. He could use a Shotwell for Tesla and focus on his strength: being outrageous and running his useful cult of personality. I’m not sure his behavior helps fundraising anymore.

Ask HN: Where should I start my startup?
I am moving to the US in a month. I don't have much savings. There is an option for me to get a part-time job until I get some solid funding for the startup. Is it better to go immediately to the Bay Area? Or should I initially go to NYC or Austin, TX until I get solid funding/revenues?
And everyone is outraged.
Hmmm mostly yeah. The title + 4th from last paragraph still have it wrong though.
This has happened several times in major subs. /r/technology was pretty bad during the Ajit Pai net neutrality stuff. Tons of death threats, including discussion of tracking down his family. People were really angry obviously but it got out of control. It's been a long time since then and there's still a mod sticky on that sub in response to the number of violent posts.
Sanctuary cities didnt need to be a thing because Republicans didnt care until the 90s. Buchanan wasnt the norm, he was out there. College was practically free then. And ever hear of Nixoncare?

Aside from the obvious usability benefits, this kind of thing makes it abundantly clear why much of the web has gone to javascript dependent SPAs. If you need JS to run the site, then you also have to leave it on to be tracked/fingerprinted.

Kind of makes sense why companies like Google and Facebook have invested so much in creating open-source front-end frameworks. The ROI is probably phenomenal.

I get that stackoverflow isn't an SPA, it just made me think of this point.

Side-note: you can block JS on stackoverflow and still view answers. That works for 98% of my usecase for the site.
