The problem was the fact that the Internet, in its romantic period, "went light" first. "Going dark" is just a return to the balance once knowledge critical mass was reached about the scale of the "went light" event.
That may be true, but despite that they still cut corners. See Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities and the impact to the performance of Intel CPUs once mitigated. In fact, Intel recommended disabling HyperThreading if you want to be completely protected from the vulnerabilities.

I've done some 50 to 90 km (one way) intercity trips on bike. I'd love to do more with the help of extended range and speed with electric assist but they have a silly 25 kph speed limit. If you get a faster electric, it'll be treated like a moped -- you need license, insurance, registration. Largely defeats the point of cycling for me.

Ask HN: Wysiwyg Editor *for* React
I am in search of a kind of wysiwyg editor with which you can build the rudimentary layout of a react/angular/vue project. I am teaching react and thought such an editor might be useful to make code better understandable and easier to play with. The problem is searching for such a product: the query "wysiwyg react" and all its permutations return mostly text editor components which contain rich text features.

Did you came across such a project or may have better keywords to search with?
The only thing even remotely in the area seems to be https://github.com/nanohop/sketch-to-react-native which is an AI based svg to react component processor.
The experience of ego-softening, or even complete ego-death, is something that some psychedelics bring to their users. LSD, mushrooms and especially DMT does this.

Many normal humans will not know that this experience is even possible, or might dismiss it straight off as humbo jumbo. (Many drug users that did the drugs just for fun will get this as a sort of surprise gift. Sometimes they dismiss it despite having experienced it, sadly.)

Once one have experienced this a couple of times, it is possible to learn whereto steer the mind during normal meditation. It is possible, although it requires skill, to come there with normal sober meditation.
That's what Code Shelter does (provided you trust us to vet people, I guess).
If you don't like racism, go back to where you came from..?

Are the Japanese also against freedom of speech? Writing an article about racism is not "forcefully" doing anything.
Isn't that amazing that people could justify and rationalize everything?

You take the worst thing people can do, like assassinating people and you find always a rationalization that the criminals construct.

Hitler took absolute power because of the Reichstag fire and the communist menace and did kill people on the way to absolute power, always pointing to the bigger communist threat.

The rationalization of communist for assassinating people on the way to absolute power? They were fighting the fascist, they said.

Obviously if you could rationalize the worst it is easier to rationalize less damaging things like stealing, raping, kidnapping or hitting people.

Stealing is bad.

Scooters take way less space than cars. More than 30% of the street is taken by them. They weight 1500 kilos, several meters long and move just one person most of the time.

A scooter moves one person, weighting 20, 30 kilos at most and occupies noting compared to cars.
ECC memory for desktops? PCI-E 4? more PCI-E lanes? There are lots of things Intel doesn't consider for their desktop CPU but AMD does. Security mitigations takes huge amount of CPU power.

Who cares about management vs engineers, we are customers and want fine reasonably priced products. Amd delivers on this front much more than Intel. Rest are details.
We have that 12-story municipality building here, standing since 1970s. An inspection last year has found it doesn't have even half of rebar necessary in the pillars, so they had to evacuate it.
That's not true for me, I know very little electrical engineering/low level programming/embedded devices etc and wish I knew more, and yet I can't muster enough inherent interest to learn more. But I'm generally very curious about stuff and regularly read news/studies/documentation and get lost in wiki holes, but for a lot of useless stuff I don't really have a use for. So this is definitely an issue for me. I do profile myself and work as a generalist, and am good at trivia games, so I've managed to deal with it. But I would like to get better at specializing in things.

I'm less confident that a mass migration wouldn't result in millions of deaths. An example might be the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. Only 14 million displaced, yet an estimated 200k-2 million deaths and another 2 million people missing[1]. In many ways, this planned displacement was a more favorable scenario than a chaotic climate refugee situation.

If we don't have a good answer to the relatively simple refugee migrations now (eg. Central America, Syria), then I have extreme pessimism that we will be able to manage a larger-scale, persistent event. Whereas with economic + political refugee situations we can always hope to resolve the root cause, with climate change it is simply the new normal.

Every three or four months Cisco or Juniper get caught having introduced a new backdoor. Hardcoded admin passwords, full system access backdoors following a specific port knocking sequence, you name it. Sure, some companies have started pushing back but the companies that produce critical network infrastructure can't be trusted.
Something I'm surprised hasn't come up yet is the ability to flex... "something" in your brain and turn hallucinations on and off.

I grew up in a Buddhist family and was meditating since an early age. I'm not sure if this was related at all but since I was young I could look at things when I was bored and do something in my brain that would cause the patterns to move. If I then needed to concentrate I could focus and it would go away.

I did some research and found out that there is a common effect with meditators that they can meditate while on drugs in order to mitigate or in some cases even deactivate some of the effects. So if you want to experiment it might be good to learn a bit so you have an extra tool to work with your mind while you're altering it.

YMMV of course.
In terms of being profitable or not a quarter, can't you use accounting techniques to twist this? I know that you can play off assets that still need to be paid as income. Or is the meaning always precise?

For example, the first two don't say much; the third is much more significant and probably difficult to fake.

Personally, I think the most important is whether they can follow their game plan: make a lot of debt for car n, pay all off plus make a little; restart for car n+1. Also, n+1 should sell more units than n.

I just posted these from a quick 30s search. I'm not sure of the link for the post I've read about the concrete cracks in specific, but I believe it was about a year ago that I read it. Regardless, you can see the state of affairs and how the need for power generation and the desire to keep costs low leads to compromises in safety precautions.
The Japanese passport is powerful, but I wouldn't call it the most powerful at all[0]. There are many countries that are on par (e.g. South Korea, The Netherlands, Denmark) and multiple ones more powerful (e.g. United Arab Emirates, Germany, Finland).

It doesn't exist yet and it's not clear it should be replicated as is. The fast-math flag does a bunch of related things that should probably be exposed separately so it's not a footgun in several situations. I'm also partial to exposing it per-function so the control is actually in the hands of the people writing the code that know the context and not subject to someone fiddling with compiler flags and getting incorrect code.

For this example you'd probably want -fassociative-math and not the other stuff that may result in incorrect code. -ffast-math was not actually used in the clang compilation and it's possible that the -fvectorize that was used picks a sensible mix of options.

Here's a preliminary discussion:

Trying to do an RFC process for this could be useful. The rust development process seems to be pretty good at thinking deeply about these things.
I don't have any experience regarding hardware reverse engineering and the only thing I didn't get from the article is how do people obtain original firmware in the first place? Do they physically disassemble a scooter to access the control board?
That is simply not true. Both matter, but telemetry is something you can trust far more than user feedback. Want to know how much a functionality is used, or how long a user spends doing a particular action - telemetry is the answer.

Compared to direct user feedback where a user might use some functionality twice a year, but rank it high as something that needs to be improved because it's sort of backwards. Instead of improving the performance and flow of the functionality they use hundreds of times daily, because they're reasonably happy with how it works. It's not that you don't want to fix the former, but it's obviously not business critical to perform often, and it's not considered high priority yet.

Of course the feedback is negative. You obviously knew it would be because you made that blog post in the first place. Three months from now you'll have made some cosmetic changes while still collecting basically all the data you wanted. Eventually you'll be ramping up to roll this into your enterprise offering. I'll do another round of source control tool research and hopefully be able to move gitlab to the NRND list in internal documentation.

That's how it will go, because that's how these things always play out. The world will keep spinning.
Really interesting to see this on HN!

I got HPD from a fairly large dose of 4FA once. I had persisting light sparkles pretty much exactly like the first image in the article.

I researched online and discovered the term HPPD but information was extremely sparse then. I see there's a fair amount more now which is encouraging.

From the advice I found I got myself some Lion's Mane supplement, meditated and exercised a few times a week. A few weeks later I just kind of forgot about it and noticed one day that the HPPD had disappeared.

The effect wasn't hugely detrimental on a practical level, but it was very strange coming to terms with the fact that this may well be a permanent change.
Thanks for the advice, translating is definitely a goal for next season (I have a lot of French customers as it's my main language, and they are often confused about the english website).

What would moving to a .com domain do? Help with SEO?
That's something the system does internally. We are talking about exposing that list of networks to 3rd party apps.
Real devices yes! I tried to use emulators a couple of times, but the first few attempts failed due to Instagram detecting it (missing cameras, etc.), and later attempts failed when I realized it's not going to save me a lot if I went the emulator route, because they need quite a lot of resources too, and you can't just run 10 emulators on a regular computer unless you optimise them extremely well and know what you're doing (custom Android build as a minimum). So it actually turned out to be easier with real devices. Plus, there's been some IP/VPN/Proxy emergencies, where it was super handy to pop in a 3G/4G sim card into the phone, and have it work 100% like a real person's phone. The cost is considerably higher (~ 15-50 GB per phone a month), but I am still looking into doing that, as it would allow the "phone agents" to become completely independent from location.

Buffer: I haven't done much in terms of "battling" with competition, simply because my users will tell me what they want, and that's an easier crowd to serve than trying to follow a competitor who may be running down the wrong path without knowing yet. If a bunch of users ask me for the same feature multiple times, then I look into what it takes to make it happen, or I'll explain why I can't offer that, and that's what's been driving it from day one.

Thanks for your note about the typo, I am actually always a bit ashamed of my landing pages, because they feel the least fun to make (to me at least), when they drive most of the conversion of course.
We had/have about 10 active free-floating scooter companies in Paris. Names like Bird, Lime, Flash, Voi, Volt, Dott, Wind, Jump, Hive, Tier, ...

Even if you don't take into account the gigantic safety hazard that these vehicles represent, this is absolutely insane. Sidewalks are small. In this situation, each scooter that you can take off the street is a step in the right direction for the public interest.
From the summary:

> The primary responsibility of the new growth team is to run experiments

Ah, the new growth team. I guess that explains it all. They hired "growth hackers" now.

EDIT: interesting bits from the thread under that link:

> Luca Williams (PM/Fulfillment): The general consensus I've heard through many conversations and discussions from an executive level is that opt-in is not preferable. Opt-out is the default.

And that's precisely why GDPR happened. Because executives of companies think "opt-out is the default".

> Dennis Tang (Frontend Engineering Manager): Correct, you could still call it an opt-in though, as in they're "opting-in" not to see the notice again...

That's in context of calling a TOS change notification popup dismissal 'technically opt-in', but it's a pretty mind-mending way of interpreting what "opt-in" means.

> https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/64341#note_...

That would suggest they already collect a lot of data, but keep it anonymous. The proposal in the link would essentially turn it into instant GDPR violation.

--

I've mostly only skimmed the thread, but it seems to me that a lot of words were written about whether or not they should include a detailed opt-out feature, with apparently no one realizing that GDPR would require this to be opt-in.
Yes, as does Github and Facebook. I forget whether AWS does.
Yes, it's allowed, but it requires location permissions which the user has to enable explicitly.

Barring some mathematical or quantum computing breakthrough the rest of the world doesn't know about: Probably not.

Cryptographic hashing algorithms rely on the property that a verifying a solution is easy but finding a solution is hard (P vs NP).

These algorithms are open. Everyone can review and test them. If SHA256 has a flaw that allows the entity that created it to crack it then it's quite likely others will find about it.

That said, it's possible but less likely that the creators of SHA256 have hidden such a flaw on purpose and that flaw as of now has remained undiscovered.

Indeed. The best time to stop using RSA was decades ago, but now's also a good time. It's speculated that one of the reasons the NSA is storing so much encrypted data is that they think the contents will still be worth knowing many years from now when they can finally decrypt it.

Somewhere I read the theory that persisting trips might be a learned thing.
Very simplified example: everyday experience makes us convinced that walls can not warp. The experience during a trip might show one otherwise. Now the brain can accept the concept of warping walls in even in everyday life.

Interesting, I hadn't seen yet they offered Instagram posting. Usually, this would throw me into panic and worry, but I run another site (barely working anymore), which offered Twitter analytics. When Twitter launched their free and super extensive analytics platform, with super interesting data not available on any of the APIs, I thought I was done. It didn't do anything (I am not kidding) to my sign-up rates, and when people asked for certain features, I often just pointed them to Twitter's analytics instead. Still stayed with me because of one or two odd features I had, that Twitter didn't offer.

You might want to ask sf.citi, the SF tech industry lobbying group who came up with it in 2012. Here's a video of Jack Dorsey campaigning for the gross receipts tax as CEO of Square.[1]

The argument then, of course, was that we shouldn't tax early stage pre-revenue tech companies based on their payroll because it increases their burn rate. Better to wait until they generate revenue and tax that. Help support the growth of new companies so they can bring in more tax revenue in the long run. Or so the argument went.

Now that they're making money and it's time to pay up, of course, they've changed their tune. Suddenly they've discovered that the system they lobbied for and got is "unfair" and they still shouldn't pay taxes.

Main issues with the emulator are: camera needs to be simulated for some features, and they are actually quite resource-intense. Buying (or cloud-renting) a machine that runs between 5 or 10 emulators is actually severely expensive. And I'd need lots of them.
Those who refer to it as a technical limitation are almost certainly wrong.

Remington-Rand released a 90-column punched cards, for example, two years after the famous 80-column IBM card. But IBM equipment dominated the market, and their cards became "standard." https://historyofpunchcards.wordpress.com/2014/03/24/rivalry...

Eg, Univac used the 90-column format. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card#Powers/Remington_...

FWIW, the recommendation of 72 characters seems much more a programming standard than a general readability standard. For example, quoting from https://www.viget.com/articles/the-line-length-misconception... quoting from "Bringhurst's authoritative The Elements of Typographic Style".

Assuming that they are recent enough disks (like built in the last - say - 20 years) all you need is to initiate an ATA Secure Erase, i.e. essentially use hdparm:

or any small live distro making use of it, a suggested one is RIP Linux (now abandoned, but usually just good enough):

Initiating the ATA command will be faster than any 00 or random pattern writing tool such as dd (which is however, single pass, good enough according to NIST):
