I hope that for your own sake, you are never in a position where you are unable to find work because employers stumble across false allegations made against you that are shown as the top result for your name on Google search.

Because that's a very real thing that happens to a large number of people who have made enemies through ex-lovers, jilted coworkers, and just garden variety online trolls that maybe didn't take kindly to a random post you made online somewhere.
If the commonality is that living in these higher latitude zones causes increases in suicide, what happens when/if the Earth hits +4C and the habitable zones become these very same areas? [see map linked below]

There would be obvious confounders, like the despair of knowing that humans decimated the planet's habitability.

In the "twins on a spaceship" scenario the interchangeability breaks down because there are not two but three relativistic frames - the stationary one; the frame moving away from Earth very fast, and the frame moving towards the Earth very fast. It's not really the acceleration per se, but the combination of these two different frames (of course, switching between them requires changing velocity and thus acceleration) that result in that twin being younger.
The hair thing is a short range effect: if you were within say 10m then maybe. It's not intended for people with a mile or so.

Great eye! We haven't figured out how to expose them yet for sites not using Cloudflare. We do have some experience solving this problem for Spectrum [1] we're hoping to lean on. The most important thing to us is users don't expect us to keep their IP private, as that is not the intent of WARP.

> Civil engagement, demonstration, and just being an irritation to leadership.

Are these the new methods? Those who are demonstrating and shouting the loudest now can only say “well, do something” and are skipping the school on Fridays. How does that benefit anyone.

Also, HN probably isn’t the right place for this kind of dialogue. The people who need to listen aren’t here.
It doesn't matter if he was put up to it. The facts are the same.

That criminal misuses of the data were not also exposed suggests that he knew what line not to cross.

If I understand this correctly, this doesn't do any autovectorization. It introduces a clever way to allow programmers to use vector intrinsics without the JVM having to understand them. But the programmer does have to use those intrinsics manually, there is no automatic vectorization.

I’ll confirm your experience with one even closer.

In HS I ran on our cross country team. One day at practice (after school), we had only made it less than a mile from the school when we heard a big thunderstorm coming and turned around to head back.

The storm came on super quickly, we were inundated with water, thunder all around; we picked up the pace to get back to school faster.

We were just a couple blocks from the school when lightning struck on the other side of the street. There was zero pause between lightning & thunder, it was simultaneous. It must have been about 8 meters away, or less.

We were all scared shitless & the run turned into a sprint. We all made it back fine.

There was no warning. When the lightning struck I could see it in my peripheral vision, and simultaneously also saw an electric arc from the sidewalk to the bottom of my front running foot. There was a tingly sensation but I only remember feeling that after the strike.

Also, it was LOUD, as in I couldn’t hear well for the rest of the day, and my ears were ringing for a week.
Based on my anecdotal evidence, the major factors that seems to affect regions with high suicide rates are:

- Isolation/ lack of community connection: Isolated individuals tend to have less social feedback loops, which impacts their perception of the world around them.

- Alcohol and Drug abuse: This can be a byproduct of other areas, as an attempt to help alleviate the perceived suffering, boredom, etc. In my opinion, in the long run, alcohol and drug abuse tend to exacerbate the issue.

- Lack of Vitamin D and Sun: A lack in this areas has been associated with increased bouts and feeling of depression, which can increase thoughts of suicide.

Might have to do with where a bias stems from. Bias against elderly has to do with deterioration with age. That remains true today. Bias against gay people had to do with the need to protect against disease. This is not true today because education, condom usage and improved treatment have cut down on the impact of stds, eliminating societal need for homophobia.
So, pay money to the unaccountable de facto internet police in the age of "HTTPS everywhere" for a VPN that "will not hide your IP address from the websites you visit"?

There are a couple of reasons

A) They have some ideas they want to launch NOW; not 3-5 year down the road.

B) Saving money won't make a dent in what's needed

C) They don't have access to rich family or friends.

In my local startup scene I've noticed a lot of founders coming from well-paying backgrounds. Ex-Finance, consulting, and such - usually they have pooled money with co-founders from similar industries. Often times in combination with loans or similar from family or friends.

Or even more often than that, you have already successful founders that are spending money from previous sales / exits.

In either case, those tend to be the people with hundreds of thousands to spend.

For regular folks with normal salaries, it's cold-calling every investor under the sun.
Honestly I'm just glad to see this being discussed openly and honestly. It's a difficult subject and it's been suppressed on both sides alternatively depending on the time in history (herstory, whatever).

I'm happy that my daughter is doing so well in college and doesn't have to worry about date rape. But I'm terrified of my sons going to college because I know that consensual sex can destroy their lives. And honestly, they're much less likely to even get there or finish in the first place.
> If you’re gripping a laptop in one hand, a thinner body is easier to hold.

> If you ask your government for a 'Rights to be Forgotten', they will request for everyone in their jurisdiction to remove you from it.

That's not how this works. You ask the entity in question to remove your data.

You only ask your "government" to enforce that right if everything else fails. You're already assuming bad faith from the entity. Some requests are actually reasonable and when you talk to a human they will do it if you have a good reason.
Which part, do you think we shouldn't be worrying about consent issues when having sex? Or maybe that teenagers absolutely should be banging everything that moves?
I don't need a thinner MBP; I need ports, a reliable keyboard and a large battery. I'm still using my old early '11 because I don't want to buy a new laptop only to have to send it off for repairs or have to buy a bunch of dongles to get the usability I need out of it.
Just wanted to say Thank You. I could only wish this was released a little sooner, but better late than Never. The Hong Kong people desperately need something like this to avoid ISP monitoring. I wonder if something similar is planned for Windows and Mac?

Also notable is the Postgres column store extension.

Coming from the world of tiling window managers on linux, I do not use a touchpad at all. On the Macbook I have to use it occasionally, but I still stay on the keyboard as much as possible.

So having to remap ESC to Capslock and often hitting the wrong arrow key is a much too big drawback to a bigger touchpad
Ugh I get email for at least 6 other Ryan Mercer's with regularity (it's simply my name at gmail). The journalist in Vermont that has a digit at the end of my email to make his email, one in the UK that I receive counseling/pay stub/work contract/bills for, one in Georgia, one in Canada that is a fashion designer, one in Canada that is some level of semi-professional hockey player (and some of his current/former team mates follow me on IG...).

I also occasionally get for others, yesterday for example I got one for a guy in Lubbock notifying me he's off the wait list to be a Dash driver.

I get bank emails, airbnb confirmations, sports team info, paystubs, return to work from counseling info, airline confirmations, the Vermont guy's Wired credentials one time and tons of his photo assignments over the years, personal emails, someone's Apple account, ride sharing password resets...

Universities are paid largely by federal student loans and tax dollars. This is not a standard business/patron agreement. Expelling a student $50K in debt can ruin their life. The university owes them a fair trial. And there is no excuse for the overt discrimination or other shenanigans we’re seeing.
Because it's about public policy.
Would this cause those which get unsubscribed the most to remain the most unsubscribed? pardon me for not knowing the right term. Like social proof, it causes the action to be done more than if left unmentioned?

Probably not such a bad idea if there's some people who would unsubscribe if told everyone else is unsubscribing.
It's more about the type of hype than the literal place something is run from. WeWork was getting the same kind of 'change the world' and crazy valuations that tech companies get, the kind that assume the company will take over an entire industry.
Even if I did observe such displacement I can't imagine any way of knowing the reason behind it.
It certainly is. Broadcast companies have been working toward it for years; I'm no longer in that business and haven't acquainted myself with recent developments, but you'd be kidding yourself to imagine it won't be here soon.
> Have fun explaining to your spouse why your household's TV is showing more dating site ads than that of their friends.

The targeting is sometimes only _so_ good. While it works in aggregate well, sometimes there are laughable targetings, and it also depends on what audiences the advertiser wants to hit.

I get some pretty strange targeted ads through Facebook that don't seem at all relevant, and the "Why Am I Seeing This Ad" dropdown has very nebulous explanations ("Targeting Men between 25-35 in San Francisco"). I would imagine this problem to be similar with targeted ads on Live TV unless they keep the ads pretty generic or have vastly better targeting than FB or Google.
I feel like this is why lead technologists turn over so often. Because they say the harsh reality that no one wants to hear, and no one cares that they are right, they just care that they are not delivering to their expectations. Maybe the issue is the expectation.
> Especially RE when some of their activities aren't legal and they don't want to be found.

I have trouble believing that if you don't want to be found, you will participate in a reverse-engineering competition with your real-life identity.
That should tell us who is really in charge.
"logical" race conditions can still occur. Eg. 3 lines of code should run without interrupt. The inclusion of an async operation within this block now causes context switch (execution switch). I've had to debug this tricky situation in external libs before.

It's been my experience that delivering business value is taking longer because of this, not less. It's hubris to believe that a single person can be competent enough in all these domains to replace multiple people who focus on specific domains.

By distilling DBAs, Configuration Management Engineers, System Administrators and Software Developers into single people business is getting shittier products less frequently which incur more operational overhead.
Super excited to give this a few month paid trial. I've seen time and time again that Cloudflare takes the value of privacy seriously. Alternative VPNs seem to be running on AWS or GCP anyways.

I spend a lot of time outside the USA and have privacy concerns a bit beyond USAs typical data collection. I've been enjoying the 1.1.1.1 app since April without issues.

I'd love to see the speed comparison examples soon!

I guess, with how powerful it is, and how small of a bundle it is, I’ve never had any reason not to use it.

I’ve never opened media files from a command line, personally.

The ‘Swiss army knife’ approach is why I love VLC - the knowledge I can throw literally any file at it and it will just open is very satisfying. iTunes/QuickTime just don’t make that cut, even with Perian. (is that still a thing?)
They also states:

> Before today, there were approximately two million people on the waitlist to try WARP. That demand blew us away. It also embarrassed us. The common refrain is consumers don’t care about their security and privacy, but the attention WARP got proved to us how wrong that assumption actually is.
Our conception of time is just totally wrong, or at least this is true for 99.9 % of all humans and that is certainly an underestimate. Something like THE time does not exist, we are just all living together in a small bubble in the universe, all of us experiencing more or less the same gravitational field, all of us moving together at more or less the same speed as Earth moves through space, and that is what makes it look like there is THE time. But actually time is more like counting the calories you burn as you walk through the world, it is specific to you and the path you take. There is a great lecture »The Physics and Philosophy of Time« by Carlo Rovelli [1] aimed at the general public that does a good job pointing out how wrong we are.

Can't the same be said about any of the huge hosting companies such as OVH, Hetzner, 1&1, AWS, etc.

And any VPN provider that hosts their servers and routes their traffic through unknown datacenters?

I'd rather trust Cloudflare that has a great track-record (+Public Canary and are on US Privacy Shield), than any random VPN provider.
I'm not completely tied anymore in but I've done work in this in a past life, circa 2009 there was ad targeting capabilities in modern US cable systems. One interesting thing to note is that the FCC does regulate data collection policies - unlike the web. In particular sharing PII (
Personally identifiable information) is verboten which limits the ability start tying your facebook searches into targeted TV ads.

For the most part you can get a pretty good ad profile based on geographic data (median household income) and viewing habits (kids, sports, soaps). Its very broad based targeting however.
For anyone who hasn't heard about this, it's a really cool approach to AR where the glasses project the image onto a retro-reflective surface, instead of onto the lens or the user's eye.

The kickstarter was a huge success anyway, fully funded in around 24 hours or so.

I really like the "AR somwhere" concept - i.e. let's make it work really well in a limited context instead of making something that works badly everywhere.

I'd like to see more detail on projecting above the gameboard, and what happens when there isn't room for that. My understanding is that it can make stuff appear above the board as long as it's below the line from the viewer's eye to the opposite edge of the board. But if it's taller than that, does it get clipped, or squished etc.?

Here we go again. I thought they were going to bring back scissor switch? I guess this is going to be an endless cycle of Apple fucking up new laptops, deciding to switch back to a sane keyboard, and then suddenly forgetting about the whole deal.
What everybody here seems to miss, is that the right to be forgotten is aimed at you right to ask a company to delete all personal data they have on you.

The question then is, how does this apply to search engines/indexers? I don't think it necessarily should, however since 'indexers' are not a recognized role in data processing laws, it takes some case law to figure these things out properly.

By the letter of the law, if something about me is indexed by google, they are processing my personal data and I have the right to ask them to stop doing that and delete it. Realistically though, this can lead to abuse by public people same as the DCMA does for companies.

So, still some work to be done. But I am glad that I have a legal way to force for instance a marketing deparment to stop harassing me with spam mail/calls. In practice, the threat of making a official request is often enough to motivate them ;)
Hair standing up in proximity to a thunderstorm is a real phenomenon [1], and it happened to a friend of mine while canoeing on a lake. It does not necessarily mean that you are about to be struck, and it is not, apparently, commonly reported by people who are struck, or were close to a strike.

Perhaps it requires an unusual combination of low humidity in the proximity of a thunderhead?

Yes, the logistics would need to be worked out. However I've proctored large LSAT tests and not found the workload of reading instructions and gathering papers to be so burdensome that I wouldn't have been able to deal with calculators. This isn't rocket science, portraying it as insurmountably difficult or expensive really over estimates the problem: A nominal increase to the test fee would easily cover additional costs.

Either way, the headline-worthy benefit, if I take your meaning with that phrase correctly, is that this is a standardized test. You don't get to "standardized" by not providing equal equipment to test takers. Regardless of whether it's "easy" to do, it is a necessary condition for actually being a standardized test.
