You could hardly describe that as a flaw when the alternative was 9/11. It's a trade off on balance of probabilities. A suicidal copilot can still to this day crash any aircraft with only slightly more creativity. For example hitting the fuel cutoffs at 500ft after takeoff.
A lot of corporate networks use both ipv4 and ipv6. I use ipv4 when debugging because it's easier to type.

I don't believe changing Turkish to latin alphabets was about process of modernising Turkish but because of making distance to Islamic roots here, any thing has relation to Islam was removed like Arabic alphabets, changing the capital to Ankara, Changing Mosques to museum.

It's really sad that a language has more than 700 years was changed because of man ego and hate to a religion. even if you agree with the guy, killing a language because of hate it's really a shame.
all of those things are pure talk, no action
Shouldn't be any more illegal than recording something with your cellphone (when not in the car) that you are interested with. I'm not quite certain about the legal code in australia but private recordings should generally be exempt from a lot of things.
I've deleted the previous "Show HN" post because it was messy and hard to read and replaced it with this one.
Once you've started this process, I believe you can just move the mouse (without clicking) to move the window as well. This tends to be faster than using the arrow keys, especially at modern display resolutions.
You simply turn off all the tools that are slow, and you end up with an AV1 encode that is very fast, but quality wont be anywhere close to your normal AV1 encode.

I don't doubt it will be of higher quality than AVC. After all AVC was the work started pre 2000 and published in 2003.
I don't think any nation, not one, will meet Paris commitments. Paris was broadly thought to be far from enough at the time it was signed, and science has moved on markedly since then. IPCC reports are the most optimistic interpretation as necessarily they take a most conservative view on every study. IPCC are all government appointed after all. G20 fossil subsidies just went up, again. Why does fossil need any subsidy, anywhere in the world, given how much profit has come from fossil fuel for a century or two?

That seems pretty near to nothing to me. Let's say "nothing substantive" then.
I completely understand that it may not be his call. That's why I said "Tell management to take an ethical stance and preserve the reputation of SO."

Maybe he (or someone else in the team) has already given this as a temporary solution but it's been rejected. Since we don't know what's going on in the background, this suggestion being put on a public forum is still worthwhile. It could also help external parties (like HN readers) add more pressure in not letting this kind of surveillance continue just because the company doesn't want to stop making money while they're working on a solution or waiting for Google (or someone else) to help.

Every minute they delay cutting this off puts thousands of people in a position of vulnerability.
"Recognized correct" in the sense that we guess that's how ancient Hebrew speakers pronounced it, based on Arabic. But we don't really know for sure.

An alternative would be if instead of sunset provisions laws are made to explicitly include testable goals, and a process for challenging them by proving they don't achieve their intended goal.
> awful soft-touch plastic of Dell's XPS line

Which XPS line are you referencing? I have last year's XPS 15: metal lid and metal frame.

"Color Choice: Silver machined aluminum", "Cut with precision from a single block of aluminum for a sturdy, durable chassis in a beautiful design", "The palm rest is made from carbon fiber". From: https://www.dell.com/en-au/work/shop/business-laptops-ultrab...
My favourite item on the list is that good design is _honest_.

This is my main issue with the locked-down, glued-shut nature of modern electronics: it's a lie. A phone is not one thing, it is composite. There are different components inside and their individual functions and relations can be understood - and yes, when they break, they can be individually replaced. But manufacturers have decided that is in their interest that consumers do not understand the things they consume, so they build things that lie to us.
For myself, I want software devs to recognize that they have more in common with blue collar workers than they do with their capitalist employers and act in solidarity. If it were up to me, there'd be a software guild akin to the Hollywood screenwriters guild, and it would set ethical standards and advocate for better pay and working conditions for people writing software.
The IDEO prototype looks like some relative to the Color Classic.
Why does someone need to spot check the training data against the output? I'd assumed the algorithm is trying to maximize a metric, which is best completely automated without human intervention to slow it down or provide biased opinions. Even fuzzier goals like 'not be racist' would get turned into metrics (eg. proportion of words used that are on this watchlist or similar scoring algorithm)

Regarding Vodafone - I think it takes some special kind of talent to be so utterly and consistently awful across all channels for customer service.

I even tried complaining through their website about my miserable failures in trying to buy stuff from them and their online complaints form returned an error when I submitted it - meaning that I ended up emailing them complaining about their complaints process!

Edit: Apologies for the off topic rant - but I saw "Vodafone" and "customer service" together and couldn't stop myself.
Some languages have institutions overseeing their development and doing top-down reforms.

Apple will keep developing Safari, luckily, so there's still a 3-way race in many ways.

Safari is only ~4% of desktop/laptop browsing but over 20% of mobile and with mainstream users slowly moving to tablets over laptops this presents an important and large user base.

> So herding rabid cats seems to be the core skill.

Cat herding only makes sense if you have an idea of what should be done. Herding for the sake of keeping everyone 'on the same page' can be harmful. If you are trying to get a consensus this will squash small ideas before they have had a chance to prove themselves. Sometimes space and non-management is needed for things to sprout.
No politician who would implement _real_ (very intrusive) carbon tax would be elected. Not easy at all.
Advertising isn't a thoughtcrime, it's a cognitive/psychological assault.

I think a combination of consumer protection laws, truth in advertising laws and data protection laws, all turned up to 11 (even GDPR), could achieve most of the desired outcome on the Internet without much problematic "content-policing". But I'm not sure. You won't eliminate advertising from the Internet entirely, but making it illegal would make undesirable advertising more expensive, by creating vast amount of risk for advertisers and simultaneously destroying the adtech industry, thus rendering most of the abusive practices that much less efficient.

(Also, to be clear, I want all advertising gone. Not just on-line, the meatspace one too.)
But why would they do it? They have some pretty solid data to support the argument that more engagement, whatever the quality, equals more money to the poster, and more money to the platform. There is no bad publicity. The question is what can we do about it? It exploits basic human psychology.
This point always gets made in any similar discussions. I think on it's face it makes sense; why wouldn't a freer flow of information be good? But I've come to believe that maybe this is too simplistic a view of the actual effects. History teaches us that people are strongly tribalistic. While it's true that disparate groups can sometimes come together and augment their success, it's also true that proximity often causes conflict. There's probably a strongly evolutionary mechanism behind this. So while it might feel like the free availability of information and the free availability of empathy are one and the same, they really aren't. And might it turn out that such a misconception could do real harm?

New Animal Study Adds to Evidence of Parkinson’s Disease Origins in the Gut
Because most humans behave sufficiently different from each other. Even if you experiment on a subset of humans and get knowledge about this subset, a different subset of humans could react completely different. It's so bad that even the same subset of humans could react completely different if you do the same test 50 years later.
iGeneration is a long established term for Gen Z. This author among many others claims to have coined the moniker but has done so since at least 2006.

It seems like you want to suggest that Matrix is not secure - as others pointed out already the bug that was reported about has nothing to do with matrix and was fixed quickly.

Also you do not seem to understand that bugs and resulting security problems are something that happen every day - and get fixed quickly, usually, after discovery. This is what they mean when domain experts say things like "security is a process".

Also here we see a perfect example of why you want to use open source software for all governmental software: after a bug was found your admins can see the code changes and understand, if the bug still exists or not. Even more, only with open source software your admins and developers can read the code and search for bugs, too! This is what makes open source software a very good idea!

You are welcome to the world of free and open software, and after some reading about the basic principles I am sure you will understand why open source software is used by so many companies and organizations around the world.

BTW re the website you pointed to: I see a very annoying, totally absurd cookie dialog that makes me click at least five times and still does not give me a choice to not accept cookies at all. Please do not link to that website until they wake up and stop insulting visitors with this UI nightmare and learned that nobody needs to set cookies to publish content. Also this is not a website a pro developer would ever read or point to - always prefer to point to the primary source of information.
I don't think it's smartphones either. I think it's a philosophical issue with digital systems in general. The over-simplified abstractions, physical distancing, and flattening of affect lead to superficiality and constant unfocused distraction.

Open/closed isn't even an issue compared to the limitations of the medium itself - because there is no such thing as a truly open digital system.

Only the smartest people can create industrial-scale digital systems by definition, so the idea that opening up the source code will somehow change this is very hard to take seriously.
I hear the opposite sentiment at my workplace. "If only they didn't force us to update OS X ASAP"
To be fair a similar system on the Dash 8 Q400 has a pretty nasty habit of folding up on landing.
The system is universal, but not complete. In fact, you should pay and that's how it works and it doesn't generate scarcity. There is 3 types of services in Switzerland: public with 2500 bed, subsidised private and private.

I will quote:

> The insured person pays the insurance premium for the basic plan up to 8% of their personal income. If a premium is higher than this, the government gives the insured person a cash subsidy to pay for any additional premium.

So, it's a basic insurance that doesn't cover everything. Also quoting:

> "Health insurance covers the costs of medical treatment and hospitalization of the insured. However, the insured person 'pays part of the cost of treatment' and 'For hospitalisation, one pays a contribution to room and service costs'."

As you can see, there's no 'free' but subsidizied basic healthcare treatments, but then you should pay everything.
Then FireFox has made the deliberate choice of excluding millions of users. There are millions of users who use identity management solutions where user-certs and priv-keys are put into the OS store of their devices.

Using the OS secure-store should be a preference option. The folks who don't want to use the "political baggage" of the OS manufacturer - as you put it - can continue to use their pristine gardens.
HP makes both great and terrible laptops. Their higher end professional laptops (like the Z series laptops) have always been solid, well built and easy to update. Their more consumer focused laptops have always been complete garbage.
From my personal experience, I tried using Chrome for few months (approximately when FF versions were 3X.X) and Chrome caused certain perceptible lag. FF wasn't lightspeed fast at that time but Chrome wasn't either, just differently somehow.

PS: using Brave browser, which is essentially a Chrome mod, also cements Google monopoly, indirectly.

"For the most part" is just not all that relevant. It's much smaller subsets of the whole that drive what happens.

Google "recipe for X." Mostly, the first 3 results will be recipe pages preceded by junk text describing recipes in paragraph/narrative form... tailored to the ranking algorithms.

Google "online dating sites." The first couple of acreens will be ads (high value ones). Mostly, they'll be "aggregators" which rank the top 5 dating sites that pay affiliate fees.

The first few organic results will be similar to the ads, but worse, because these need to cater to search engines, first and worry about getting users to their customers second.

Where the value of clicks is high, what happens with search results isn't at all like the "for the most part." For the most part, person people search for "penguins" or "Penelope Cruz." Here, the advertisers and SEO guys aren't involved. It's in specific little, high revenue areas where spam/advertising/SEO outguns everything else. You can feasibily "just write good content" about penguins and rank highly.
That's because bad developers focused on WebKit-only experience, forgetting about other browsers.

The same happens when some sites require Chrome to work, blocking all the rest. In 2019 it's unacceptable

The weirdest thing I’ve seen in Essex is an “authentic” pub made from limestone, it looks oldy-worldy but Essex doesn’t have Limestone, old buildings are for the most part weather board.

It was so strange looking at something made to look old, that was completely fake.
Of course. I'm not saying displacing business models is bad per se. I'm saying that just because one business model can displace a different one, doesn't immediately mean it's good. Plenty of business models are morally bankrupt, and I believe "free but subsidized by advertising" is such, by virtue of advertising itself[0] being morally bankrupt.

I disagree. I think Go modules are the result of listening to the community. GOPATH, for example, would still be there if the Go team would not have listened to the community.

FWIW dreamcompiler said "simply siting the generators above ground".

That doesn't mean it's easy to realise the need to do that action, it means it's not a _complex_ action in itself.
Ask yourself a question - why would you do that? For privacy reasons and to avoid future Googlenet monopoly? Then using Chrome mod instead of Chrome solves nothing.
True. But does that also not encompass racial discrimination? Race shouldn't just mean skin colour, but also encompass your country of origin and your social make up.

Apart from encrypting the comments so the server wouldn't be able to read them, I've been thinking that it's actually possible to leave private messages: it would be a comment on SHA1(user.publicKey), and the message would be encrypted with that public key. The extension uses the ed25519 crypto system (WebCrypto notoriously avoids implementing it, so I had to use a WASM module). That seems like a very cool idea, albeit it's attracting exactly 0 attention from the public so far :)
Why don't you block all the JavaScript not coming from your origin and just display a simple link+PNG as advertising?
> People on HN hate it when you say we have to change our whole society to deal with this problem.

We obviously don't have to change our whole society to deal with that problem.

1) I've been told that renewable are now grid competitive in cost and the power system is switching over to them naturally.

2) At any point we could go nuclear - even the most pessimistic anti-nuclear activist would have to admit that the risks from nuclear power are localised and that the raw volume of pollution rounds to 0 compared to what we do now.

It would take a couple of breakthroughs in battery technology to solve the transport problem and the whole thing might get solved in the background without much more serious effort. Most people wouldn't even notice.
This reeks of "things were so much better in my day". 20 years ago teenagers would watch copious amounts of TV, anime tropes were already around, it was the decade of shitty superhero movies and trashy TV shows. I give you the gamefied dopamine releasers, but it was never so easy to participate in online communities, find maker spaces, set up a kickstarter/patreon and go nuts creating whatever you feel like.
What a great summary. Tho I think the part about issues our society faces is a lot bigger than those few examples. Educated people have more than ever reasons to be depressed now:

- pollution

- economic stagnation

- inflation

- antibiotics failing

- global warming

- debt

- automation and artifical intelligence

- politics failing to tackle those issues (its a circus in some countries)

- issues like Brexit

- natural disasters

- hard manipulation via mass-media

- addiction algorithms in modern games/medias/programs

- goverments cutting expenses on healthcare and education

And many more. Im surprised young ppl still have hope, thats very brave of them.
The Nintendo Switch does have a WWW browser, solely for permitting access to Internet connection points that require loading a WWW page and performing a certain action as a prerequisite for use.

It's appalling an entire WWW browser would be necessary for connecting to certain Internet access points, but that's the current state of things.

In any case, someone has already achieved arbitrary code execution through it, but it was sandboxed anyway.
I haven't pursued any GDPR requests yet (though I considered it in some cases). For now, I'm just happily reaping benefits, such as having an option to download my data, or discovering that some off-line desktop games (like Kerbal Space Program, of all things!) did track me - past May 25, 2018, they suddenly started showing popups informing about this, and (this is the best part) I could deny it and keep playing.

I do think smart phones affect people. However what people don't ask when the speculate about the young is whether you are better off otherwise. It isn't really a smart phone, college debt or even housing crisis. It is an opportunity crisis. The prospects for people who don't engage in these activities are generally worse. People >40 don't generally understand this because they are already established, so forgoing these things doesn't have much of an impact on them.

I'm happy to say my exposure to literal insanity has been somewhat tapered over the years, so visiting Voat a while back was eye opening to say the least. There are clearly some very mentally ill people using that site. The issue is, they're getting fulfilment and a sense of acceptance via up-votes from 'edge-lords' who enjoy egging people like this on for their own entertainment. I wouldn't be surprised if the feedback-loop that people get from this website has had some influence on the recent shootings over the past few years.
Implementing an unpopular measure (more tax) is almost equivalent to political suicide, and people in power tend to want to stay in power.

So yeah, technically it may be easy, but politically (which is what really matters here) this is almost impossible.
