Note that the e-mail field on HN is not visible to other users. If you want others to be able to contact you by e-mail, you should put your email address in the “about” box as well.

And probably when you do that you might want to type it out as

yourname at example com

Rather than as “yourname@example.com”.

Still, even if you write it that way there are probably some scrapers out there that will recognize it as an email and include it in some list.

You could try to be a bit cryptic like some do though. If for example the local-part of your email address is the same as your HN username, and you are using GMail, you could write something like:

“You can reach me on GMail. My username there is the same as the one I use on HN.”

Just don’t be too cryptic, or you won’t just ensure that scrapers can’t parse it — even people legitimately wanting to get in touch could be unable to understand what your address actually is :P

Alternatively, instead of stating your email address in any form you could put a link to your profile on some other platform where people can reach you.
> If the offense is limited to shoplifting

The offenses in this case started with shoplifting, but then quickly turned into running from a police officer, a high-speed chase, as well as firing a handgun towards chasing officers.

Are you saying that:

1. Police shouldn't have pursued the shoplifter?

2. Police shouldn't have engaged in a high-speed chase?

3. Police shouldn't have further escalated after taking gunfire?

At what point did the Police go wrong, in your opinion?

My favourite example is number theory, which was either hailed or ridiculed for millennia as being pure mathematics that can and will never be applied to real life problems.

Today number theory is the basis for several important fields of application, including computation theory, modern cryptography, and numerical calculation.
I don't disagree, but isn't it a sign of much deeper issues if this "Shadow IT" land exists at your company in the first place? Why is it that experienced programmers can't efficiently solve a problem that a business user can handle in Access?

Are they under-staffed? Neck-deep in spaghetti code? Lacking business knowledge and the opportunity to acquire it? Bottle-necked by a lack of business analysts or testers?

I hear about this too often and nobody seems to think it's a major problem. IT departments can have a queue that's 2 years deep and people don't even bat an eye, they just think "Oh, that's how IT works!" And that's not even taking into account all the requests people aren't submitting because they've given up hope of getting any dev time.

When you admire the more interesting parts of history, without taking into account the ugly, nasty side of them, you get shitty political movements (It is incredibly popular among xenophobic nationalist assholes to admire the Roman Empire, the Crusaders, the Spartans, the Vikings, as some kind of cultural ideals that we should aspire to...)

For some reason, though, they always envision themselves as being warrior-kings, or some equivalent thereof in such societies, instead of members of a slave caste...

So. GPL2 requires that you can replace the open source portions with your own changes.
Under GPLv2 specifically the question is whether your business logic forms a derived work of the GPL-licensed software, which is nontrivial to interpret.

My rough understanding is that aggregating is permitted providing that the aggregation is merely that.

For example, an image that can easily be extracted, for which it can be seen that busybox exists as a seperate binary, and for which the source code is made available by you (say, by virtue of the fact that you identify it as the unmodified BusyBox v1.31.1 and the source is on git.busybox.net), would be fine.

Where it gets hazy is if you have some sort of proprietary image format going on and it cannot be verified that unmodified BusyBox is being distributed, or that you're not linking against it or using it as a substantial part of your logic.

Bear in mind that the intent of the GPL, quite apart from how a lawyer would intepret it, is precisely that if you use GPL software in your software, you should release your software under GPL. If you're looking for loopholes then you're not really playing the game and should be looking for alternatives.

My intent when writing GPL software is that it should not be included in proprietary solutions at all. I release my own personal projects under AGPL precisely because it's stricter. I don't ask for you to pay for my code in money - I ask for you to pay for it by providing the source code so that the wider ecosystem can benefit from your and my work.
My extremely smart ex got an English degree: she watched the movies instead of reading the assigned books.

I believe English is best spoken; if you really want to understand poetry, perhaps get involved with spoken poetry.

Message to brainwashed western people – Notepad++ Issue #7476
That's true. Sort of like avatars for your specific services. :)
A number of years ago I was in the Navy and worked in an electronics shop on an aircraft carrier. We were responsible for calibrating and repairing all the test and measurement equipment for the entire ship as well as the squadrons that we carried with us. Easily over 10k individual pieces of equipment, each of which had to be calibrated on a specific schedule. Most of this data was managed centrally, and we sent/received DB updates a couple times a week. However, just managing our workload and operations efficiently required other data which was not part of this database. I had no choice but to build my own solution, and the only real option was MS Access given the barren IT resources available on a deployed aircraft carrier.

But man, was it a fucking lifesaver. Just for one example, we often had to send equipment out to different labs since we didn’t have the capability to test them, and shipping stuff required a standard military shipping document with various mundane pieces of information about the stuff being sent. Creating these documents was a tedious process of looking up the data manually and then typing it into a Word file. I just recreated the document as an Access form, with fields that would populate from a query. Creating the shipping documents went from 30-45 mins to essentially the click of a single button.
> Her factual statements, that every high-energy physics experiment since the 1970s has only confirmed an existing theory (the Standard Model) and that every prediction made by physicists about possible extensions to that existing theory has turned out to be wrong, are correct.

Well, the snarky answer is that the equivalent of the LHC (America's SSC) was defunded halfway through construction in the 1990s. This set back the field by nearly 20 years. It's rather unfair to say that no progress was made in the 1990s and 2000s if the very instrument that could have done so was defunded.

Anyway, the real answer is that the vast majority of scientific theories ever formulated were completely wrong. Some people say the early 20th century was the golden age of physics. But there were several failed theories of relativitistic gravity proposed in the 1910s, many failed attempts to formulate the quantum theory of fields in the 1920s, and within particle physics, a slew of failed theories of the atomic nucleus and the fine structure constant. None of this appears in textbooks.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Recall that back then the journals were still getting filled with theoretical papers weekly -- the fact that we teach the material that was right to undergraduates in slim textbooks shows that the vast majority was wrong or irrelevant.

Experimental confirmation has always taken a long time, e.g. see the long disputes over the ether that stretched well into the 1940s, 40 years after the proposal of special relativity, complicated by false positives and systematic uncertainties.

Fundamental science is simply hard, and it only looks like it used to be easy because we forgot 99% of the failures. There is a perfectly valid point to be made that it may be getting harder, but it is insufficient to just point to failures to prove it.

I don't think there are different legal requirements for electric vs gasoline cars. In both cases, you can modify them all you want without running afoul of the laws about motor vehicles.

However, in both cases, you can absolutely make modifications that render the vehicle no longer street legal. Removing the turn signals would do it, for instance.

> I need a stable OS that allows me to be productive without having to waste hours looking for workarounds and setup and doesn’t break my config every upgrade.

You won't get that in my experience. I've used MacOS, Windows 10, and various Linuxes over the last few years. Every Linux I've used swallows literally 10x the amount of fiddling / searching / configuration time compared to the mainstream alternatives (I log all my sysadmin time, so this is an objective measure for my own case). Linux is currently my main OS (indeed the only one on my daily work laptop), because I find the trade-offs for development work worth it. But only just. It is a total pain in the arse.

You will of course get people informing you that distro X just works, but invariably they either have minimal requirements that a default installation meets, or they have accumulated thousands of hours worth of expertise that naturally makes it seem to them that everything is simple and transparent. Which it really isn't.

It's entirely possible where in Catalyst if a UIKeyCommand is registered that uses a non-modified letter, it overrides text input. Having said that, I can't imagine why Twitter for Mac would have solo-letter key commands registered during the login flow, and if they did then I can't imagine why they wouldn't also interfere during tweet composing. Or rather, I can imagine, but the scenarios I'm constructing would imply extremely contorted view controller hierarchies that make no sense.
One of the better questions she asked was, "should a political party be allowed to run targeted ads at members of the opposing party, giving false information about the election date?"

Zuck's response was, "well, I think it's BAD if you LIE. Telling lies is bad." but wouldn't say that Facebook would moderate that kind of content.

I personally don't see a legitimate free speech claim saying that political parties should be allowed to target opponents with plain, simple falsehoods like that (which already happen through the mail system, mind), but I'm open to hear.

I ask because speech is already restricted when it comes to advertising; companies are compelled to put up disclaimers, the FTC will come down on misleading ads, etc.

So, if society's surviving okay with those restrictions, is there a reason that political chicanery shouldn't be held to some standard also?

What is the free speech argument for not drawing a line at that?
Probably, though that doesn't seem to explain the entire situation.

Looking to wildfire incidence elsewhere might help give a clearer picture. I suspect, say, that total suppression policies haven't been widespread in Siberia.

The Australian wildfire experience, and fatal blazes in recent years in Portugal and Greece also come to mind.

Seems to me suppression has been a partial, but not complete, contributing factor.

Beyond spineless of Jack and everyone at Twitter. Political ads seem to work just fine on TV, radio, print, and everywhere else on the web. Pathetic that Twitter decided to bow down to the most paranoid in our society. All he is doing is validating these stupid conspiracy theories and cementing how scary it is that he has so much control on freedom of expression in modern society.

I will bet anything that Twitter allows political ads for the 2024 election with Trump gone.

Heavy metals and pesticides. Friends run a cannabis compliance company in California, so they have access to mass spectrometers. After time spent on the shelves and in warehouses the pods and others like them tend to leach heavy metal from the atomizer. The atomizers (turns the liquid into vapor) are all made in china from the same cheap source. They test them when they leave the factory technically, but they don't account for time stored in those containers. The liquid is also entirely unregulated as well.

Are you saying that Gates was being compassionate toward Epstein? Gates hid the depth of his affiliation with Epstein until this NYT article came out. He knew it was wrong.

Much more likely is that Epstein had dirt on Gates and/or connections Gates wanted.
CDATA still does not allow you to include even arbitrary sequences of unicode codepoints, not to mention arbitrary binary data.

On the other hand HTTP is in fact a binary protocol and there is perfectly good way to transport sets of binary objects with associated metadata: MIME multipart/whatever. With multipart/byteranges even being part of HTTP itself and multipart/form-data being one of the "core web technologies".

There's a few times I've used macOS's ability to define menu shortcuts -- although it's generally either to add a shortcut to a menu item that didn't have one or to make the shortcut consistent with the OS and/or other applications.

Anything that could be achieved with a sunshade could be done thousands of times more cheaply by putting reflectors on roofs, on deserts, and on the sea surface. If you imagine putting that much reflector out would be too hard or too expensive, I guarantee lofting even a tiny fraction of it would be overwhelmingly more expensive and difficult.
These are excellent points, I think it’s underestimated how difficult it is to get approval and budget for a small project that doesn’t directly contribute to the bottom line or have huge savings. These small but impactful solutions using Access act as both a stepping stone to greater skill sets, a way to build POCs for non-tech or low-tech people, and to avoid months of politics in big organizations.

I’ve had projects that were red-taped before getting off the ground due to resources being placed elsewhere. I then take those project ideas, and instead build them in Access as a POC using shared drives, splitting the database, etc. By the time I have 100 users saying how useful the application is in a couple months, other bigger projects haven’t even finished a project plan. Meanwhile we’re then ready to scale the solution using an appropriate stack and basically can just say “replicate our POC features but improve performance, security, accessibility, etc”. So far that’s worked pretty well for me.

In summary: find people’s Excel files with a mess of VBA and formulas —> see if the use case should be expanded —> build POC in Access without permission/budget from a bunch of people —> see how it goes and then plan to scale with the evidence you’ve gathered from your POC.

> Determining the periphery of political speech,as a result, would be inherently political.

And, choosing not to determine the peripherey of political speech, is also political. Inaction is a choice, which by its nature supports the status quo.

I am not saying inaction, or the status quo, is necessarily good or bad, although I don't agree with the implication in the parent post that Facebook shouldn't do something.

What should be done is delicate and will always require constant negotiation, and be in flux. I am a proponent of free speech. Yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, is, of course, a classic example of a "surpression" of speech, and, the history of the US court system in ruling that books which were banned are legal to publish, etc, is a good example that our legal system has tools to negotiate these issues and can do so.
110% agreed.

Anything that helps 'lateral' access to a knowledge base is helpful, because you don't need to go through all the bottom-up (learning) or top-down (prior knowledge) to explore and reach a given problem space. You can simply 'cheat' directly to 'stage N'.

Once there, you might be missing key information: principles above you, terminology and base config below; this is where a glossary (hyperlinked automatically ideally) is a life-saver. Follow 1-2-3 links and you've got the gist, back to 'stage N' to the next step, rinse and repeat.

When documentation is badly done, this approach may result in endless circular references, feeling 'trapped' at or around 'stage N' — you explore that stage all you want but gain no understanding of how it fits into the whole. But when it's well executed, such documentation is a treat — RHEL comes to mind as being very practical to use in that regard, for a rather complex/deep doc base.

After he was arrested the FBI raided his mansion and took into its possession a large cache of CDs labeled "young <girl's name> with <famous rich person's name>" which he kept in his safe. There were also hints that people visited his private island and his New Mexico ranch (which the FBI bizarrely still has not raided) before he was killed. So they may have confiscated the materials for any dead man's switch.

Also, if Epstein was indeed an intelligence agency cutout then he was surely watched very closely at all times, so there might not have been an opening for him to set one up (or he might have been told in no uncertain terms what would happen if he tried). Or (most likely of all IMO) after the sweetheart 2008 deal he simply thought he was untouchable and above the law, so why would he need to take precautions against being assassinated?
