I appreciate the good faith in your comment!

The point you're making about escalating crises seems to me to be covered by the 'significant new information' test that I've described elsewhere (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...). In the case of the current story, we're not suppressing coverage of it or discussion of it; it's the other way around. What is true, though, is that it sometimes takes time to figure out, from the flurry of stories, which are the submissions that best represent new developments. My first impression on this one was "oh, another HKMap.live story"; because there had already been a prominent thread about this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21159872), it seemed to go in the follow-up bucket. This is a good example of how moderation is guesswork and we often guess wrong. Closer inspection revealed otherwise. User feedback, especially from users who know about the situation, helps us a lot to make better calls. But I think the principle itself is solid.

By the way we came up with the significant-new-information thing after the Snowden avalanche of summer 2013, when users legitimately complained that too many stories on HN's front page were only repeating what had already been said before, rather than reporting anything new. Discussion quality tends to get worse on such stories, too, which makes sense because there isn't new information to sink mind-teeth into. In any case, our goal is not to suppress coverage of these important stories (as anyone who's been reading HN in the last week should know). It's to keep the proportions balanced. Unfortunately for us, one consequence of the proportions being balanced is that nobody's happy with them. C'est le HN.

If there's something I'm still missing, I'd be happy to hear about it and do more reflecting. It will have to be tomorrow though (here) as I'm getting mushy.
There's a fatal flaw to this approach though. The world is regressing into surveillance because quite frankly the mechanisms are already there and it's easy. What happens if someone in the US or the UK start using the justification of "well you did this in China so we'll legislate so you do that here". Someone has to make a stand and the people running the apparatus purposed to make this possible are morally culpable for the outcome to some degree for making it technically possible to do so.

The world is not that a big place. It doesn't take a lot for this to end up on everyone's laps and then it's too late to say I told you so.

not very convincing. The lack of CCP-imposed restrictions is hardly an inimitable differentiator. The unfortunate truth is that HK's cultural and economic importance is so diminished that the government is not that afraid of the current situation.

Whenever the voters vote the wrong way the EU subverts it with the result in effect being overturned in one way or another, so the UK will probably end up staying in and this ATAD will be implemented.
It might be relevant, because the original asker said "with a sufficiently long password". (Implicitly: with a password longer than 8 characters that the original DES scheme would allow.)
> Thing is I haven’t read where someone can say whether it’s contamination or whether it’s the high heat vaporization or the combo or something else which is causing this.

You can start here, this WaPo article talks about the contaminant, Vitamin E Acetate aka alpha-Tocopherol acetate, an ester of Vitamin E and acetic acid.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2019/09/05/contaminant...

The PubChem article on this compound, first aid section recommends inhalation should be ceased ASAP. Also scroll down to the firefighting section, which recommends a respirator with an organic vapor/acid gas cartridge. This is because of the caustic nature of the compound when vaporized.

https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/alpha-Tocopherol-a...

This article details finding from The Mayo Clinic that the lung tissue studies revealed chemical burns.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/lung-damage-from-vaping-re...

Obviously not conclusive, but also not a completely bizarre supposition that inhaling a substance that breaks down into a mild acid when vaporized might cause chemical burns.
The combination of the unusual game sharing the name with a tube stop and the unusual expression could leave anyone unfamiliar with either completely lost, as demonstrated by the OP. The way the expression is used it's often just in a sentence of its own, with the aforementioned ${thing} usually being some specific cultural reference. For example if a Czech person was watching English football and heard the phrase "Shades of 1966" I have no doubt they could parse and understand every word in the sentence ... but it's quite possible they'd have no idea what was meant because "1966" has special cultural significance for most English people, and the "shades of ..." doesn't really hint at anything on its own.

My girlfriend speaks English as a second language, and speaks it beautifully, but can struggle if I use idioms or phrases which are far more commonplace than this, partly because of how many we have in English and partly because they can be unusual.
“It’s totally ok, dogs are police too” doesn’t quite work in a culture where dogs are often invoked as insult words. There’s a different cultural context here that you need to be aware of. As I said, the American equivalent would probably be to use a little pig emoji for a police officer, which I doubt would go over well here.

It’s not by a stretch the most controversial aspect of the app, but it doesn’t really help their case much.

> Why is Middle School so hard?

Because it's mandatory, and you are forced to be around lots of people you don't really want to be with. You are forced to learn things you are not interested in at all, while being punished for not performing well. And all that, while your body goes through a major transformation sexually. There can only be very few people enjoying that. For most it is a horrible way to end their childhood.

And we (parents, governments) think it is beneficial, until the kids come from middle school and cannot find a job that easily, often ending up doing completely stupid work like cashier or whatever else for the rest of their lives.

I wouldn't say the power is "rightfully" focused on those that run the platform, just that the shape of the market makes it so. A platform - whether a streaming site or a commercial plaza - is worthless without a plethora of content/goods providers on board. But there's much more providers than platforms, so platforms get to set the rules.

That's just a "pre-image attack". A "second pre-image attack" is a different scenario, not relevant to password-hashing for the reasons grandparent described, where you already know a pre-image, and must find a different one.

It helps to know a little bit about what's been going on in Hong Kong, before you all decide to line up and take your daily dump on China.

It all started a few months ago when someone committed a crime in Taiwan and fled to Hong Kong. To prevent HK from becoming a safe haven for criminals, the Chief Executive of HK proposed a new law to facilitate extradition of these crime suspects from HK to various jurisdictions in the region, including Taiwan and mainland China.

The proposed law even explicitly stated that it's not applicably to crimes political in nature. But some HK people were nevertheless concerned that it might be abused by China to target political dissidents in HK.

So they have taken to the streets to protest that law. As a result, the law was quickly suspended before it had a chance to pass, and a few weeks ago the HK Chief Executive officially announced the withdrawal of the law.

However, despite the concession from the HK government, the protesters pressed on, demanding four more concessions from the government, chief among them universal suffrage, or the direct election of the HK Chief Executive, who up to this point have been nominated from a narrow pool of Beijing-approved candidates, then voted on by a committee.

It's not entirely clear that China even had anything to do with the proposal of the law which started this ordeal. But the protesters have been shrewd to paint a picture, to great effect, of big bad China stomping on the poor helpless people of HK.

What I cannot stress enough, is the rampant violence and destruction from these protesters, which has done this great city, and many innocent citizens, unimaginable harm. Feel free to support their peaceful protests, but please don't simply pile on and encourage these violence and destruction.

If anything I said is untrue, please correct me. Use the truth to argue your side, don't be a coward and hide behind your downvote.
> If given no alternative choice that is evil-free, I will chose the least evil option as my vote.

I was on Android until the start of 2019 when my wife bought a new iPhone and I took her 6S. I'd had enough of Android spying on me.

My argument was the same as yours: Apple don't make (that much) money off my data so they MUST be better than Google. Right?

When I think about it, I honestly cannot say that they have better privacy than Google. How can I? They may market themselves as having that but Apple products and software aren't open source. And even if they were, how do I know that the version of some product that my phone is connected to is using a "non-evil" version at the backend.

I now don't believe any of them give a shit about privacy. At all! Not one bit! They say marketing-speak to reach the most lucrative audience and from a financial perspective it makes perfect sense.

However, there is/may be another choice! The Librem 5 could maybe just start something: I'm not in the queue for the first batch but by the start of next year I hope to have one.
I feel like the (very valid) points you are making, are not contradicting OP

He did not say the workers had less to do, he said the company had to find new revenue streams... Like you I support this initiative if it also includes employees wellbeing

La Poste is like France Telecom 10 years ago. The landscape is changing, it needs to evolve with the new world, provide new services, find a new place & role, hopefully keeping the values of public services. We know that the France Telecom => Orange turnaround was a business success at the expense of the health of many employees. I am afraid it will be the same with la Poste because of the same rigid management practices
if you enable a bunch of unsafe options they can do some of them, but they tend to err on the safe side when it comes to native built-in methods like these on Date objects.

also, some minifiers optimize for gzip size where the effect is not as drastic, but the browser still has to parse the un-gzipped source afterwards. it depends on the weighted costs built into each minifier.

In any case, they enjoy the freedom to access different opinions in the US, and should respect those opinions.

If I end up in an elevator with Charlize Theron I would probably say something on the line of "I always dreamed of being trapped with you so you could not escape from me, but maybe it's better if this time we call 911".

People say this kind of things to alleviate tension, it's completely normal, it is not normal to be offended by that.
Quite sane norm, given that firestorm can leap 500 metres and give instant radiation burns at a substantial distance too. Poisoning is also a big threat.

> That's not what they're saying: they just don't want it on Hacker News.

They decided that not only they do not want to see it on HN; they don't want anyone to see it on HN.

> You're free to use a website which uses an API to include/exclude based on a whitelist or blacklist. Use RSS with it, et voila.

It is a practical solution which does not require third party tools. Also, it is about more than you; it allows you to cast your vote, thereby taking part of the community.

You're free to use a website which uses HN API to include/exclude based on a whitelist or blacklist. Use RSS with it, et voila, problem solved for you. Because of the sheer amount of volume, this approach (which is easy to make with a blacklist) works quite well with RSS in general.

Apple still complied with the alphabets, according to Snowden. IIRC they even let some NSA infiltrate into their supply chain to inject malware at the firmware level on phones and laptops.

You can’t leave Europe, despite your voters voting twice for it, making the Brexit party the #1, and yet your establishment understood “Leave” as “Stay” and refuses to hold a general election because they know they are illegitimate and hold on to their power?
For me as a European "gun laws were pretty restrictive in UK" for me means freedom more than access to guns does. I quite value the freedom of not having to worry about guns.

Problem with your answer is that I'm not from USA. My question was about other countries not USA.

Lastly, two wrongs don't make right.
Not the freedom I mean. I would say that people with lower incomes have better lives in other Western countries, but that's not the freedom from the government (at least on paper but probably in practice as well) that I meant.

It is not "crapification", my take on is "replaceability". People hail washing machines from communism era as really good, working for 30 years (they don't take into account survivorship bias but that is another point).

Earlier you could afford only one pair of shoes for your entire life. Lots of physical things could be inherited because they were valuable and they were really expensive.

You would not let your kids inherit your shoes now. The same with buildings. Kids will probably want to have their "own dream house" not stick with their parents dreams. Those kids probably will also have to move to other state or other city because jobs their parents did will no longer be there, and they will have to find their own place to get a job. Son of a carpenter is not going to be a carpenter. You want buildings easily replaceable. Buildings should last not more than 100 years and be easy to recycle.

That said, all stuff that would be replaceable, should also be easy to repair

Thank you for sharing the story! Even these days I enjoy hearing about the company that produced the first Unix system that I used at home (Coherent 3.0). It was my main operating system for more than 10 years and, looking back, I have never enjoyed computing more than in those days.

Regarding the driver bug, I guess I was lucky, because I still used a MR-535 MFM disk in the late 1990's. I think I later upgraded to a 100MB IDE disk, but was still lucky.

Personally I was not even happy about the move from V7 to POSIX, because I enjoyed the simplicity of V7 very much, but things started to change and supporting POSIX was certainly a neccessity at that time.

Anyway, thanks for contributing to a great OS! I still keep a VM with 3.2 around and use it regularly.

That's a very convoluted definition of freedom. I think there are many other things to call that ("sensible" or "sane" come to mind...) but it's objectively less free, legally/on paper as I stated.

A lot less base load would be necessary if the electricity prices varied minute by minute based on the cost to provide it. This is because a great deal of electricity use can be easily time-shifted, but people don't bother doing that because the consumer price is the same 24/7.
They'll just find you are causing trouble and put you in the little room where you'll sit for a number of hours and learn to stop thinking you could pull stunts at the border. They don't really care why you can't show a normal phone with a history of a normal life. They just want to see a normal device with normal data.
There is no scenario where a technicality means you don't hand over a device they can read and they go "oh, well if you can't you can't!".

Any of: no device, wiped device, locked device, is just seen as suspcicious and you'll be harrassed. Their whole idea is to make anything non-normal uncomfortable for you, so you'll comply (because most people do almost anything including giving up any data, to not have to fly back home or spend hours in a little room).
It's not so much intentionally racist as it is classist.

When I was ready for secondary education, it was clear to me that Gymnasium or ("at least") Gesamtschule was where you went if you were later going to study in a university, Realschule was for trades and Hauptschule was for "stupid" (or "troubled") kids. Needless to say, it was clear to me that I had to go to Gymnasium and then university because both of my parents had attended university.

Of course those were unfair generalisations but when I was in university I met many people who retained exactly the same perception of those differences.

If the "competitive jurisdiction" allows people to "move their finances" there without actually living or doing real business there, then that "jurisdiction" is in fact a parasite.

I would walk away from .Net Core as well. Microsoft have proven themselves on several occasions that they don't give a crap about the end user. The whole default opt-in telemetry nightmare of .Net core is an example. The final result of the discussion was a "fuck you, we're still doing it" and nothing more. Also getting support on anything is now basically "it's open source, raise a ticket we'll never fix". And not to mention the insane versioning, churn and schizophrenic direction changes.

Same old corporation. They just worked out how to label customers as consumers and pacify the userbase by putting it on GitHub instead of Connect and reducing the support availability (have you tried getting desktop support, even paid per incident on windows 10? Don't bother!)

For me a software ecosystem has to stand 100% alone for me to invest in it. That basically leaves Python and C at this point which I'm honestly not that unhappy with.
If it can be done, it needs to be done at the presentation layer, I guess so too.

It has been a while since I worked with Isabelle locales. So how come that in your example "x + y" is not being confused with "A + B", although all involved entities are ZF sets? Or does A actually have a different type than x ?

I didn't say it's necessarily racism, just that the division is increasingly determined by ethnicity. Just as black children in the US often can't attend the better schools because they live in different areas.

However, this is indeed structural discrimination, because those children don't get neither the resources nor the opportunity to catch up.
