The first 2 may help of my yesterday's comment <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20333451>

The guy I spoke to who recommended the chimp book also recommended 'Yiwara: Foragers of the Australian Desert' <https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21412584-yiwara>. The first part is an observation of their life, the second part is a terribly sad description of their very ancient culture being destroyed simply by the presence of western culture. It was less interesting, but mostly it was just too sad to read. I skipped that.

Reason he recommended the chimpo book and Yiwara is I asked him about the then-new finding of a very old artefact on which he had some fascinating stuff to say. I asked him how he knew these things, he said 'personal experience, mostly'.

'The innocent Anthropologist' was suggested by someone else. Very revealing, very funny though.

The aztec book I also pushed... well, it's a damn good read too!
Also it seems like they juyt havent figured out they can use a developer license to sign the app and install it on peoples iphones.
And by "he says he doesn't know" you mean he meticulously, in paragraphs, explains the difference between GNU and linux, and how he basically started the GNU operating system out of a desire for freedom, but that he technically or philosophically has nothing to do with the linux kernel, which is correct, technically and otherwise?

I guess he doesn't know a lot then.
> Then if reversing the kernel is so doable using legitimate means, why ReactOS is still largely stuck in the early 2000’s, coincidentally where the major leaks happened?

Because they don't care or need about the newer MS stuff and also don't have the resources either.

Also they can exploit Microsoft good record of backward compatibility, once you have a good enough lower API compatibility, you can just install a lot of newer MS tech directly on top of it.
I doubt that you would be able to register a new company called "Apple Computer" that is different from "Apple Inc".

Reddit Blocks Tor Users

A workaround is to use https://old.reddit.com/ as the blocking is not applied (yet?) on this domain [1].

> Those Japanese-American detainees had legal residential status when they were illegally rounded up without due process.

...and let me quote the SCOTUS decision in the Korematsu v. U.S. (1944):

> Regardless of the true nature of the assembly and relocation centers—and we deem it
unjustifiable to call them concentration camps with all the ugly connotations that term implies—
we are dealing specifically: with nothing but an exclusion order.

If you do get lost in Venice, you will discover that Google maps often can't tell you exactly where you are because the streets are too narrow and the walls too thick. Funny enough Apple maps on my iPhone does a better job navigating in Venice. It's easy to get lost in Venice when walking through the dark alleys that you find everywhere.

As I understand it, Windows too has mouse-acceleration that remains (rather subtly) even after disabling "Enhance pointer precision" in Control Panel. When I was into competitive gaming, there was a Registry fix doing the rounds that got rid of it completely.
We're building something very similar to that with Thankful (https://getthankful.io/, https://github.com/SuperuserLabs/thankful). It's still early, but we have browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox (and are making a new release today with many long-awaited fixes and improvements).

Unlike Brave, we aren't building an entire browser/ad platform, we don't have a special token (we currently use plain Ether), and our plan is to make it possible to donate using stablecoins (most likely Dai) to get rid of the issue of volatility.

We'll solve the creator registration using a couple of smart contracts, one for handling the ESCROW-nature of pending donations (allowing for refunds if the creator chooses not register), and one for the address registry (that maps from emails/URLs to eth addresses). The details are still very much up in the air, but you can read the (early and unaudited) WIP contracts are on GitHub: https://github.com/SuperuserLabs/thankful-contracts/
The US government failed to twist their arms. Very unlikely that China has a lot of power over them. Given how many people they employ in China, they might have actually power over China.

It used to be possible to register for an Apple Id that you could use to install apps without providing your credit card details.
It it not entirely obvious how, but I managed to do it in the past by registering from the device itself and skipping the part where it asked for card info. I no longer own an Apple device, so can't verify whether that is still possible.

Journal reviews can be stacked with friends just as easily. In fact, most top CS/EE journals ask authors to recommend reviewers. (In theory, the editors will make sure the recommendations are conflict-free and sensible, but given their workloads, I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of them took the authors' suggestions at face value.)

What I find strange is an existential consideration seems to be largely a negative. Couldnt we call it 'existential realisation' and treat it as a positive

Lack of meaning can be a good thing. Realising we're not here to do anyhting great. I'm not going to make anything of significance change. If I dissappear it wont really mater.... ok, that good, now I can get along with my life and not worry about societatal / parental / career etc pressures and follow my path beacuse in the same way I dont matter, your view of me doesnt matter. I am just here and will be treated based on what I put into the world and there is no great plan so get what you can from the journey.

It does have a compiler, though. So compared to the old-fashioned JavaScript workflow it adds a mandatory build step. And I don't think it would work with languages that compile to JS – or does it?

If the government has a high-resolution camera and the latest tech maybe.. But a regular security camera would probably need at least eyes plus the nose/mouth to make a facial model afaik. If a person enters their home station wearing a mask, and returns with a mask later, that probably keeps them quite anonymous.

A more immediate concern for the protesters is probably that police were stopping young people clad in black in MTR stations at hotspots, as well as those taking minibuses leaving the scene of the June 1 event, and jotting down their IDs.

One thing I don't see mentioned is: why are people not honest with themselves?

We're using hyper-scalable databases, "serverless", layers upon layers of caching, microservices with dozens upon dozens of interconnects, all built out from the start for the odd chance that the thing we build will be the next unicorn startup.

But what is the reality? Many fail before the tech stack ever becomes a bottleneck and those who do not fail rarely reach the scale that requires the absurdities we use today.

A good old LAMP stack on a decent dedicated server is, honestly, way more than enough for 99.9% of startups and doesn't need highly expensive dedicated AWS and other specialists to get up and running in nearly no time.

I don't think any static type advocate would say that no dynamic checks should be done. Not all can be.

You need a mix.

Most dynamic types then go on to say why bother at all with static. That's where we disagree. It's dynamic types people that tend to be all or nothing. Where as static type people say use them where it's helps catch the obvious errors, so you don't have to write so many tests.
The ePassport gates in at the UK border both scan your passport and take a picture to confirm that it is indeed you.
Since they already had my picture in the database from the passport I did not consider this an invasion of my privacy, and (for now) they are opt-in instead of opt-out.
Have you contacted them to see when they might get them back in stock?

It might be a temporary blip in supplies, etc ...
Same with Superhuman. They get location from the IP address, so using a VPN would "mask" your real location.

Yeah write them a ticket. They are really supportive,
pretty sure they will come up with something for you.
(as did they for us, when we were in a similar bind)
Can you wear a mask while they do the passport scan? They need know how you look like so they can match the picture with the passport... using a computer or a human.
The first question that author forget to ask is desire infection is bad enough to fight it. It seems a good thing that helps you to adopt social norms of a group, to socialize. Emotions involved make it even better: you need not to fight yourself to make something you do not like, you are doing it because you like to do it.

Gatwick airport had a ton of facial recognition cameras last time I was there.
They had a ring of leds around the lens that lights up in a rotating pattern, it really is difficult not to look directly into the lens due to that.
I think computer architecture is especially prone to this sort of nonsense. The whole field has a weird insider-bias and most program committee members seem to come from the same schools, have the same advisors, and write the same sort of papers.

I find it kinda interesting that Moritz Lipp and Daniel Gruss have revolutionized our understanding of microarchitectural side channels and not a single one of their papers has appeared in ISCA/ASPLOS/MICRO. And yet, obviously flawed nonsense supposedly addressing side channels regularly manages to appear in these conferences.
>Research shows that it is particularly unreliable for gender and racial minorities: one study, for example, found a 99 percent accuracy rate for white men, while the error rate for women who have darker skin reached up to 35 percent. This suggests that, for women and people of color, facial recognition could actually cause an increase in the likelihood to be unfairly targeted for additional screening measures.

So this should also be a very good reason to reject this tech for this use. Darker skinned people and women get misclassified even more, and subject to further interrogation.

I may be a white guy (works 99/100)... But I can't just defend my own rights, or all of our rights degrade.
This is a perfect example of how prohibition doesn't work. When alcohol was illegal in the USA, the only drinks you could really get a hold of was whiskey, moonshine and other high percentage beverages.

When illegal, the dealers want to be the ones with the best (strongest) product on the market.

Once made legal, the lower percentage drinks became available such as wine and beer, and they became the best selling and most popular type of drink. Drink that doesn't smash them across the face by the end of the night.

The same will (and is) true in regards to weed legalisation, the powers that be will harp on about weed these days being too strong, and shouldn't be legalised for that very reason, yet it has been shown that stronger drugs is an effect of a ban on the sale of these products.

The sooner it is legalised, the better, as I will be able to go to a shop and have all the available information at hand to help me make the best decision for my anxiety requirements. Instead, atm, I have to go to a dealer, who sells all the finest buds, but I have nothing to go on other than look, smell, and anecdotal evidence from someone who's main purpose is sell all her flowers, not ensure her customer is getting the right product for her needs.
> Imagine if the Netflix guys were told to stay boring and not invent new shiny things?

For what it's worth most of what Netflix is doing is delivering video files. This in itself does not require rocket science, a matching amount of Squid or any other caching reverse proxy is sufficient - and CDNs at this scale have been around for far longer than Netflix was.
I really think we're just at the beginning of utilising the the seas/oceans of this planet. Between things like this and seasteading with floating cities and farms, the world is going to look very different and we're going to be living in ways that seem strange in a few generations.
Ammusingly, Paul Stamets is the name of a scientist in the newest star trek series. He is an astro-mycologist and apparently they named him for this real scientist.
Given the fact there's hardly any such radiation in the wild, does that mean they evolved that ability just within a few decades? If so, that would be quite astonishing as it seems pretty different from other biochemical mechanisms (e.g. photosynthesis).

Show HN: The first such advanced template builder for the Bulma CSS Framework
### Part I. Bulma Builder

Hi everyone!

I am the co-creator of Bulma Builder, which accelerates the work of developers using the Bulma CSS Framework (v0.7.5).

We have released 170 components (and it grows!) and 460 Sass settings in thematic grouped categories that can be used in a user-friendly interface (drag & drop editor, color/font/shadow/size pickers).

We based the project on a technology we created and released six months ago for Bootstrap Shuffle, which does the same thing, but for Bootstrap.

(BONUS) Every account created at https://bulma.dev is automatically active at https://bootstrapshuffle.com - and vice versa!

### Part II. The Builder and The Offer

We spent last months on preparing the builder to work with any CSS framework based on Sass.

That's why Bootstrap Shuffle works with Bootstrap 4.3.1 and Material for Bootstrap 4.1.1, and Bulma Builder with Bulma 0.7.5.

And now We are looking for CREATIVE people (especially the experts in creating UIKits) who would like to start their template builder, with their library of components and styles, with their landing page, domain, user base, but using our technology and infrastructure.

Interested? Contact me: builder@shuffle.dev (Dawid Andrzejewski)

PS. I am considering two settlement options:

Option A) 50/50 revenue split (great for freelancers, no upfront costs)

Option B) $999 / mo and 5/90 revenue split (great for companies/influencers with large user base)

I used to think from a nihilistic perspective a lot because it seems like the most logical position to take. I'm not depressed or anything and nihilism doesn't at all get me down. I just sort of think it is what it is. Though I do remember I went to see Jordan Peterson live when he came to my city and he said something that made me rethink nihilism as a valid perspective. And it wasn't a religious comment either.

He was saying people tend to fall into the trap of thinking that in a million years none of this is going to matter and that they're just one of seven billion people, so they don't really matter etc. Then he said now imagine your 6 year old daughter gets cancer... what do you tell her? That in a million years it isn't going to matter? That she's only 1 of seven billion people, so who cares? And if it's not the answer at a time like that then it's probably not the answer.

I dunno... but it struck a chord with me and I've not been able to entertain the nihilistic perspective ever since. Now whenever I find those thoughts coming on and think why on earth do I push so hard or why do I bother with what I do etc... I take on a more cosmic perspective. That through our actions and experiences the universe is able to observe, enjoy and comprehend itself. The point is to be the matter and the energy. The point is to be the experience.

Like why do you sit down and watch a movie when you know it's going to end?

The CEFR is intended to measure the proficiency of foreign language learners and not measure the sophistication of native language speakers. Everyone that speaks English as a first language would pass a C2 level examination very easily.

The standard ways to measure text complexity in English for native speakers are the Flesch-Kincaid readability and grade level tests. These depend on the length of words and on the number of words in sentences so they're obviously not perfect, in particular they do not measure the use of rare vocabulary or references nor of difficult content.

I tested the OP and found:
Flesch reading ease 53.2 (fairly difficult)

Gunning Fog 11 (hard to read)

Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level 10.1 grade

Coleman-Liau 10th grade

SMOG Index 9.6 grade

ARI 9.5 grade

Linsear Write Formula 11.4 grade

Where the references to grade are to American school grades. In other words this text can be read by average American 10th graders without difficulty.

I ran an article from the current New Yorker through as well (the one on Basquiat) and that came out as 11th grade reading level.

I share some of your experience, (though I'm not transgender and grew up in a loving, supporting family).
I recall upsetting my parents when I was about 7, by asking "Why are we alive? Why don't we just die?" I didn't mean it to be depressing, it was just that I didn't "get it", why people do all the things they do, and end up dying anyway. I still feel that way. I've concluded long ago that I'm not particularly depressed, and that the existential crises is not mine but is shared by everyone, it's just that a lot of people don't realize it, or recognize it somehow as such a fundamental property of being alive that they never pay attention to it.
I don't hate being here, I like it in general, I have the opportunity to experience things, but that does not mean that there is any intrinsic meaning to life, and that does set some baseline of sadness.
TikTok on Trial for Unauthorized Collection of Child Data
I might be missing a detail here, but how is page 10 relevant to the validity of the premarital contract?

The key argument seems to be page 4, which says that the lawyer of the wife had worked for Rubin in the past and filed a restraining order against the Rubin previous wife. The claim is that because of this the contract should be nullified because the wife did not have proper legal representation when she signed it.

Seems pretty dull and fairly common court case where a judge will make a decision to either uphold or nullify a contract based on circumstances.

Page 10 seems like a distraction because the contract did not have a "cheating clause", and regardless, the argument in the case is that the contract is invalid. If the contract is invalid then that relevance of slide 10 is unimportant, and if the contract is valid then the relevance of slide is also unimportant.
