Well remember what actually happened. Apple removed their app! That's a bigger problem in general (I think at some point, legislators will need to force Apple to allow 3rd party installs without jailbreaking a phone).

Tumblr had issues with jailbait and childporn. Even with a lot of moderation and policing, it was difficult to keep under control. As an interesting consequence, people who use scripts to rip entire blogs, may have underage selfies and other pics they're not even aware of. It's a strict liability crime in the US, so even having huge Tumblr dumps can be risky!

There were a lot of factors involved in the censorship, and it makes me thing the future of the open web needs to be more federated/distributed. Sites like Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook need to lose relevance.
Citations needed for pretty much all of that. Especially the bit about Earhart having a history of overruling Noonan, since by most accounts they had a very open working relationship built on trusting and relying on each other's respective capabilities.

Also, you followed up with a post about trained Navy pilots going missing on relatively simple flights between two giant landmasses where all you have to do is literally fly east or west. Earhart and Noonan were able to handle the navigation for much more difficult flights than crossing the Atlantic. So yes, there's still very much of a mystery as to what happened to them.
First off, sometimes life circumstances are not changeable. Second off, any therapist worth anything will help you figure out what changes you could make in your life that would help your mental health. Third off, getting relief from some severity of symptoms, through any means, does not keep one from using the information in those symptoms.

When you attack a server, you don't use a virus, you use a phish or something else to gain access to it to do your dirty bidding.

What people call "viruses" usually refer only to attacks that work by getting people to execute random crap on their computer with their privileges. Servers are set up and administered in a way such that it is far harder to get somebody to run the payload containing the virus in the first place, so viruses target machines that are administered by end users (which would include home computers and smartphones!). The 95% market share for servers is irrelevant since viruses don't target servers in the first place.
While I understand the point of the article, "no insecure web portal" is not, I think, as big a detriment as the author suggests. (The author doesn't say the 'insecure' part, but we're talking about banks' web pages, so I think practical experience allows us to fill it in.)
> I want to know how long it will take for Ebola to evolve a resistance to this therapy.

Maybe never. A lot of time in any case, probably. Ebola is a plant's virus adapted to trees. Evolved to use bats (and probably arboreal snakes also) but can't survive for a long time in primates, and can't survive in soil at long term. We are a dead end for it. Would need infected humans munching some inedible leaves of a tropical tree or visiting hollow trunks where bats live.

News cases of Ebola in the future will be from a new strain, but this does not imply evolution or resistance. Is just that the number of ebola specimens in contact with humans is limited.
Dunno how it looks in US but in Europe traveling became unbelievably cheap. I live in Poland, we have shit earnings and yet I don't think I that know many people that are NOT traveling heavily because it's super easy to find cheap flights and cheap Arbnb everywhere, even some exitic places like Cambodia. I was in Rome couple days with my girlfriend in March this year, I don't think I paid more than 100€ for flight and housing combined for 2 people.
Partially. Reddit also has the usual DoubleClick/Adsense ads too.
OK, "weird" is the wrong word. You're right, I do understand where it's coming from.

A thing I'd add is that the Microsoft case didn't just chasten Microsoft, but also the industry as a whole. In at least a couple of FAANG cases, I know firsthand that antitrust concerns altered product decisions (sometimes for the worse!). I don't think the case was, in the industry, widely considered a win for Microsoft.

At the end of the day it's an ideological argument. Google has an almost immeasurably large influence on the public commons and society. In my view anything that has such a large influence needs to be regulated to ensure the public interest and good.

Capitalism serves society which serves the people. In that order.
I'm pretty reckless in video games...

Still, both are good ways to reframe things though.
What are your concerns regarding how much time is spent?

On my team all code is reviewed by at least two peers and I find it difficult to not review changes. Sometimes people screw up requirements (or they were unclear and the developer is unfamiliar with the existing implementation), sometimes their variable names suck, or the level of abstraction is inappropriate, or the tests say they're testing one thing but really do another.

On larger code changes this can be up to an hour or two a day (depending on how many are opeened) but I see it as an investment in the health of our codebase and avoiding technical debt.
I see a lot of comments here are missing the point. America just has too much infrastructure (roads for cars), spread way too thin. Walkable, bikeable neighborhoods require much less in the way of paving, highways, interchanges, etc. It's way cheaper to invest in places for people than it is to try to solve every problem with more concrete.

I think we will see a Tiananmen Square style end to this protest soon. Technology has put too much power in the hands of a few unscrupulous dictators. I think we will see even Western countries fall this time around.

Why aren't statically typed programs really just dynamically typed programs where all the types happen to be statically inferable?
None of this has anything to do with code signing. It's a misleading headline, engineered to generate clicks.
They also innovated, one example was the side skirts used on their black and gold JPS F1 car in the late 70's or 80's. The side skirts gave greater down force when going around corners, its also a discreet way to improve handling on todays road cars as the FIA regs no longer permit the side skirts.
BBC TopGear covered this in their last episode.
Based on this link I wouldn't trust the critical thinking of the content of this site.

> We also know about Google firing James Damore and their ideological echo chamber.

They are already displaying their own bias based regardless of what they think Goolge's bias is.

Damore was fired because he violated California labor law. But the post continues with lines like:

> Now, I’m not a conspiracy theorist

...

> But it seems like they decided that there’s no way to algorithmically penalize certain sites — so instead they do it manually, behind the scenes, without telling anyone.

Without any evidence of this what-so-ever.

It's one thing to say "Google are not doing a good job of filtering out mis-information/commercialization without penalizing high quality information from smaller sites/institutions" it's another to say that this is a conspiracy from the "echo chamber bias" of their employees to suppress the speech of people who don't agree with them.
It's looks like Tumblrs strict new moderation policies aren't going to be reversed.

I've long been a Tumblr user and because of these policies I created Libr to replace Tumblr https://app.librapp.com

The front end progressive web app is open source https://github.com/cipher-code/libr

It'll be interesting to see if Tumblrs code gets open sourced. I used to run the biggest WordPress deployment in the world outside of WordPress.com and worked with a few Automattic devs in the process.

Hasn't this happened a few times? IIRC the AUR had some malware last year, but it was caught pretty quickly. I think why it doesn't happen often is more visibility thing. If it's a useful virus then it's going to be in a popular package, for maximum contamination (or at least some threshold). But people using things like the AUR are generally much more tech savvy then you're average computer user and will correctly flag a package as malicious much faster. Plus there is a higher percentage of users looking at commits. So if they get caught fast then there's more protection for the less savvy (or "lazy"). This is just a guess though.

There's often also press about it - eg https://www.geaviation.com/press-release/genx-engine-family/...
Dedicated car chargers usually run on 240V. Typically you'll have 15/16A for ~3.5kW or 30/32A for ~7kW.

You certainly don't need to run separate circuits over long distances for every individual outlet. You can run one higher-power cable to a hub unit which then breaks out to many (maybe dozens) nearby outlets.
Tighar, the group mentioned in the article, has been pushing this photo for many years, and about every 18 months or so they manage to get somebody new to do a story about it. Considering nothing has ever come of it, I'm less than convinced.

Here's a reasonably good skeptical summary of their efforts written a couple years ago:

I thought the engines and the planes were purchased separately. Or are they bought as a unit for 787s?
Sure - I'm more concerned about inadvertent leakage of email addresses or passwords than passing along an identifier to the API as part of the implementation, especially if it's capturing network traffic.
I sauteed the mushroom in butter, salt and pepper. They were delicious by themselves.

With the jalapeno I made the mistake of seeding it. It was super bland.

I added the mushrooms and jalapeno to the pan almost immediately after I added the whisked egg.

There's been a bunch of good ideas in this thread and the video of the guy making a Jacques Pepin omlette is great. I definitely have some new ideas for my next attempts.
I think there is a strong and concerted attack on our best companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon. This is being financed by truly evil actors. Please notice that no one talks about the dictatorships rising around the world in Russia, China, Venezuela, and elsewhere. Notice that no one is really taking on the big oil and coal companies that have caused climate change.

Instead people are targeting young companies that are making the world better for minor infractions.
Not sure what you mean, this is not generally true - the dialog states the name of the process or the application requesting elevation, as you can see in a quick google pics search.
LPs themselves also have basically zero information to go on when evaluating a potential venture fund, other than exits they invested in with their previous fund. And the competition is pretty brutal among venture funds today. So a VC is going to have a very hard time raising money for their next fund if they can't show exits or at least follow-on rounds of funding at substantially higher valuations for some of their previous portfolio companies.
Americans are fundamentally incompetent and unable to govern themselves. People keep blaming “Reagan” but it’s blue cities and states where infrastructure projects fail spectacularly. The Second Avenue subway was built in New York not Montana. The California HSR was in California not Texas. These projects are not underfunded. They’re funded more heavily than comparable projects in Europe. They’re also not undertaken by small organizations on shoestring budgets. The NY MTA has a surplus of highly competent career administrators and engineers.
#Epstein is trending and you have to ask why a company might be wary of advertising on a site with unmoderated adult content?
Same here. Apple's process for dealing with lost or stolen cards is just insanely stupid. Why in the world do I need to 'validate' the existing card, which I no longer have, in order to add a new one?

What possible security or business justification could exist for that? What does it even mean to 'validate' a card you've been billing successfully for years?

(Spoiler: in case this happens to anyone else, the secret turns out to be disabling family sharing on the account. It will then let you remove the old card and add a new one, after which you can re-enable family sharing.)
I ran into something similar trying to get apple support for my MBP. My computer was bricked and I switched from an iPhone to Android years ago. I went to log in to the web portal to request service for my MBP and it sent a 2 factor code to "my iPhone" so I was entirely locked out.

The ongoing attacks on Google are crazy to me. Google has done wonders for all of us - remember how terrible search engines used to be? Do you remember how terrible email was before Gmail? How awful MapQuest was before Google maps?

In my opinion these attacks are a paid PR driven distraction from the truly evil actors in the world - see the losses of freedom for people in Hong Kong or citizens of Russia who been imprisoned or killed.

When will hacker news end together to fight true evil instead of minor infractions?
> If your stacks are the size of C stacks, and if your language doesn't feature a pervasive runtime, then interoperability with C is nearly trivial

in .NET stacks are different, the runtime is relatively large, yet interoperability with C is nearly trivial. From my PoV at least, I never worked on compilers, only used them a lot.
> What would be the strategic advantage of a nuclear cruise missile?

Range over conventional cruise missiles; ability to evade detection and early identifict of target compared to ICBMs.

> Couldn't a cruise missile of any kind be shot down by a fighter plane?

If the fighter plane was in the right place at the right time, maybe. But maybe not a really high probability, either.

> Seems easier to deflect than an ICBM, which they already have in abundance.

Harder to detect than an ICBM or SLBM or conventional bomber, harder to intercept than a conventional bomber even if you do detect and track it, potentially harder than an ICBM or SLBM, too: ballistic missiles are fast and hard to hit, but (because “ballistic”) very easy to predict generally where they are going. Cruise missiles as well as taking harder to detect flight plans can take harder to predict courses.
> "Doesn't this re-introduce the original problem? If less power is available, you have to spend longer charging."

Not a realistic concern, at present, because the chances that a large parking lot will be filled with even 10% EVs is small. At any given time, most stalls will be occupied by fossil cars, cars not needing charging, or will just be empty.

In the future as demand increases, if you start to hit the limit then you can look at upgrading the electrical supply.
This has happened to me on many occasions, even with bigger sites which "should know better". Tis why I'm always slightly paranoid about entering in long passwords when signing up to new sites.
The idea is that you don’t really own it. The company doing the swapping has it in their best interest to make sure you don’t get a dud. Like gas stations; if you get bad gas at one you take your business elsewhere next time.

Ask HN: Thoughts on using scade.io for coding Android apps in Swift?
I've been learning how to code, from scratch, for the past few months. I chose Swift, published my 1st app* and I'm now working on a v2 of it.

While I'd love to make it available for Android too, I don't want to pick up a whole new language.

So the other day I stumbled upon scade.io and I'm planning to give it a try. I'd love to hear from people using it but it's so new I couldn't find anyone in my network!

Have you tried it? How has your experience been so far???

(*) in case you're curious, the app is https://apps.apple.com/lr/app/meditation-timer-by-cloud-lama/id1463059176

I really enjoyed Ursula Le Guin's scifi for those reasons. The technology in Le Guin's stories basically doesn't matter; her stories revolve around relationships and culture. As an example, a story that focuses on a 2 planet system that has a slavery based society. On one planet, the slaves rebel. But even after their successful rebellion, the freed slaves fail to acknowledge that their women are essentially still slaves since they lack all basic human rights. Another story is about a planet/moon system where a few hundred years prior an anarchist culture secedes from the planets staunchly capitalistic culture, and then moves to the moon. The story follows a physicist/mathematicians life in an anarchist society. Another story deals with the toll that war has on people with telepathy. They have empathy for their enemies, but none the less they are in a situation in which they must kill those they have a telepathic connection with.

All the plot lines I talk about are in the collection of books belonging to the "Hainish cycle" series. Every book in the series is very good.
I've got AFK plates... makes it super easy to remember :-P

A couple of cars in my city have plates like "0O00OO" or "BB88B8B"

One guy that I've seen driving near my place has two cars both with variations of "11ll11l" Both the same make and model and color.

I really dont think this will help him much.
Not quite that bad. I hear a wingsuit can get maybe 2.5:1, and that's clearly better than a brick...

You missed the requirement for the payloads to be secret from the proxy. If the proxy is terminating TLS, then the payload isn't secret from the proxy (and the sensor can't authenticate the source except as from the proxy, either.)

It's worth adding that in my case there is no TCP or HTTP, so the home stretch over the LPWAN is UDP and CoAP.
I agree that there are other factors that make Nikumaroro a candidate for Earhart's final resting place.

Calling the image exactly like an Electra undercarriage leg is quite a stretch, IMHO - even that interpretation's proponents merely called it "consistent".
I guess my rather naive question is "if the platform is to accept only the same kind of safe content then what is its USP compared to Facebook/Instagram/Reddit/etc?"
Cycle in with your lycra and then change into your work clothes. I've pedalled in -10C and 35C in Toronto.

Showering at work isn't necessary either: sweat is odourless, and the stickiness comes from bacteria. So you can actually shower before cycling to get things clean and you'll be fine the whole day.

In some ways we're actually ourselves too much:

A clarification: Rust async/await stacks do not move or change size. They are fixed to the size of a static call graph and are pinned in place. (Going beyond that can be done with explicit heap allocation, but it's extremely rare in practice.)

This is, from what I can tell, their main advantage in performance over other implementations. (In Rust, at least- the performance story may easily be different in garbage collected languages like Go or Java.)

Another caveat: Rust's claims to have implemented M:N in the past must be tempered a bit by two factors. First, Rust had to use segmented stacks, which Go moved away from and which Loom seems to be avoiding, precisely because they're so expensive. Second, Rust had to dispatch all IO APIs dynamically based on the currently selected runtime, which Go avoids by not having two runtimes, and which Loom can probably avoid via its scheduler implementation and/or JIT devirtualization.
not sure if you're being sarcastic here. It is true that journalistic heat has been known to help re-arrange development priorities, and not being able to pay your bill seems like a potentially significant problem.
It will be a non-story then but not now. What if someone loses their phone before Apple “fixes” this?
Indeed, telling a person the those thing "they don't know they don't know", telling people the key question people are trying to answer in the field, provide structure and guidance while a person spends time attempting to address a given question, etc, etc, etc.

All these things are powerful and shape most modern intellectual endeavors. And by that token, someone who apply discipline and rigor in approaching questions outside an institution can have an incredible effect - back to Chomsky essentially creating the field that he's dominated (theoretical linguistics, one thing I didn't know 'till this article).
Do you think that society is more out of balance now than it was 30, 50, 70, or 100 years ago?

If so, I’ll be glib and say you haven’t paid enough attention to history :-)

To pick a random anecdote, in the past senators have been physically attacked and maimed by their colleagues on the senate floor, i.e. while at work.

Campaigns were dirtier than they are now. Politicians would accuse each other of being murderers and even cannibals. (e.g. look up the coffin bills and Andrew Jackson.)

The mainstream media printed many things that would be unacceptable today. (Jon Stewart had a good bit about this a long time ago.)

Not to mention the total war involving multiple continents that happened a couple times in the last century...

Not to say we should think that stuff will never happen again. It absolutely could. But depending on your viewpoint we’ve always been on the brink of collapse, or on the brink of greatness, etc.

-----

Also, I don't believe that reading or watching news counts as "paying attention", especially if you're not in the position to take any action as a result (i.e. you don't work in politics, policy, etc.).

It's generally a very passive activity. The time would be better spent observing what's going on in your town/city rather than "the world". Or even just doing something constructive in your area of expertise, e.g. writing free software, etc.
