There are many applications that, together, may make it worthwhile to wear AR glasses:

- Laptop monitor replacement or augmentation

- Indoor and outdoor navigation

- Identifying an available self-driving cab and dropping a waypoint for it to navigate to

- Immediate POV recording + sharing of ephemeral events (many people will like this, even if the HN crowd won't)

- Shared viewing of footage, large 3D graphics, or news items with your friends no matter where you are

- "Digitalized" brick and mortar fashion stores where you can easily identify clothes that fit you or that are in your price point. An enhanced view would show additional information, such as online reviews of each item.

- All the filtering features of the digital world can be brought into real life, including filtering out of advertisements

- Games games games. It sounds comical to say, but Pokemon will become real. People will run around with poke balls that release increasingly intelligent digital creatures. In Harry Potter AR, people will be able to cast digital spells by waving their wand in a certain way and saying the right thing. WOW or Runescape players could dawn their achievement capes irl

- Aesthetic landscape transformation. I imagine there will be a "default view," "modified view," and "off view" of the world. If you go to Times Square and enable the default view, you would be immersed in a digital world curated by the brands that advertise there. If you use a modified view, you can see whatever you want, whether that's anarchist graffiti or cyberpunk renderings. In the off view, all advertisements and all screens would be rendered invisible

- Usable IKEA instructions

- Non-boring meetings at work with interactive holographic renderings of enterprise projects

- Remote guidance and instruction (enabling emergency plant maintenance by people who have no clue how to repair a broken pipe)

- Digitally enhanced classrooms. Imagine a physics lab with a 3D rocket or roller coaster sim overlaid with force diagrams.

- Multilingual digital tour guide bots that can explain every nook and cranny of a city for free

- Guided construction of elaborate, ML-generated Lego structures

That's just the beginning. There are probably use cases we couldn't even imagine yet, kind of like how some technologies that are out today seemed like science fiction 10 years ago.

I believe the word for that is idealism.

These links have android in the url, which makes me think they're for the android version of firefox.

Either way, those links allowed me to install the extensions on desktop Firefox on Windows, so it's all good.
> Nobody wants another fat runtime that is as entangled with the browser engine as the JS engine is.

Why would it need to be? There's no reason to assume the architectural decisions for javascript have to be repeated for WASM.

The runtimes themselves could be WASM binaries cached like any other resource, or managed like packages. Javascript could be disentangled from the browser by doing the same - just treating it as a resource that ships by default with the browser.

I don't know if that's feasible - maybe not - but I bet there are possibilities other than "ship the entire runtime with each script" that can be considered.
that doesn't mean that apple doesn't cache your location, or build up a list of location-to-wifi-access-points for their crowdsourced wifi location database.
It's not about love or hate the keyboard. The design is faulty.
This is a good answer, and does reflect a good chunk of the reason for picking C. Dealing with such low level tasks is what the language was made for.

The other big reason I used C, is that it is more of a lingua franca than something more modern, and will make the code more accessible to a wider audience.

"Public spaces" are where the hoi polloi live and occasionally commit crimes. It's deluded to think persistent surveillance of them by individuals represents some kind of rough balance of power with government & corporations.
Society already gives everyone twelve or thirteen years of that stuff. For some people it doesn’t stick. I’m not sure why anyone thinks that “slightly more of the same” is going to help.
A couple of points:

1) Do not compare you, after a month, with people who have been there years. It will take time, you will get there.

2) So what if you're in-between? That's your unique selling point. Embrace, don't discard it.

There's a place for you in your company, and in the world in general. Just like there's a place for the coder who turns coke into code, and the marketing exec who talks to customers. You are not a failure. Look up imposter syndrome too. You're suffering it.

The most convincing "argument" for them was "well, they fooled Google into giving them a half a billion dollars, so they must have something there."

Xilinx is all in on high level synthesis. Although they are focusing on C++ and python instead of functional languages.
Yes, but I argue that's the same thing. The end user defines the product. They could've developed and sold the original technology is a different way (stationary entertainment, movies, etc) and be far more successful.

With paper ballots it's easy for anyone to get involved in verifying the trustworthiness of part of an election.

You can watch the box that the votes are put into, you can be present at the opening of the box, you can participate in the count. All the key parts of the process can (and in most countries do) happen in public view, and even someone with a low level of education can gain high confidence that the election is fair, trusting only other people like themselves - no need to trust the corporation that built the machine, or the politicians currently in power - you can watch it from empty box to published voting district results, and as long as you think there are people like you in each district doing similar checks, you can be confident the entire vote was done correctly.

Unfortunately it is difficult to KNOW you are in accessory.

There is a tiny battery symbol on the dash and/or the traction motor indicator is off (car symbol with arrows underneath). This is non-obvious and lost in the other indicator lights.

You will eventually find out (like a regular car) because climate control will not change the temperature, but the fans will blow and the 12v battery will drain.

You are right, this is quite opinionated solution, as everybody has their preferred ways of coding. The fact that not everything is explained in this post is because there are 4 parts, which are all linked at the top of README in the repo you linked.

GDPR allows you to capture logs as long as there's some reasonable business case explanation. Security is the easiest because you can easy all identity tracking is for catching fraud, bots or hackers. The explanation can always be hand-wavy and legislation is not specific on the details.
Seconding this. Big fan of Dokku on a DO droplet as an inexpensive way to make applications.
AR fundamentally can't work.

To work, it has to understand the world around us. It needs to be full AI.

There's also no reason why we would want it. Nothing. As we develop ways to augment our world a simple phone can deliver the info.

VR has a use case for entertainment. It has no business or education case.

Work is done by reducing dimensions and abstracting things not adding dimensions and unabstraction.

But at least entertainment will propel the VR industry forward so we can see if anything else pops out.

Magic Leap faked all use cases from day one. It was obvious on multiple levels it was vaporware
You can target any FPGA. Clash compiles to VHDL or Verilog.
This kind of fingerprinting is used across the industry for anti-fraud purposes.

The problem is that it used to be good enough to block "known-bad" IPs but now with AWS and cloud services it's very easy for cybercriminals to get around IP blocks.

For normal users, tracking can be done with cookies, so fingerprinting isn't really needed for normal users anyways (not entirely true if you're a totally bad actor, which is why browsers have been trying to block some of the more common ways to fingerprint).

But for a script that spawns a thousand AWS instances to sign up 1000 bot accounts that can then be used to sell likes for example, it's pretty easy to tell that it's a script instance because all of them will behave in almost exactly the same way (processor performance, installed plugins, reported screen size, etc. etc.).

An "alternative" to using fingerprints would be to use captchas instead, but bots have gotten much much better at solving captchas. So in fact, ReCaptcha will also use a number of fingerprinting techniques, which is why in many cases you can just click the check box instead of solving a captcha.
Thank you. This is the most exhaust ive article on WebAssembly design goals I have read.

I could respect the design if it was working. However, the design malfunctions, and therefore, regardless of the feeling one gets while typing, it's a faulty design.

I lost respect for Apple when they refused to change the butterfly keyboard for 2 generations of Macbooks, while they already must have known of its shortcomings since the first Macbook.

They treat their developer/professional community like crap. Whatever doesn't fit the iPad pro usecase is 2nd-rate. Their announcement of the 16-inch Macbook Pro was quiet, yet Airpod Pro got a large announcement.

As a developer, at this point, I'd probably rather use Windows than OSX for non-iOS or non-OSX development.
There is an option/preference/policy to disable it.
> Next, we need to actually count the ballots in a way that can be verified. The key idea is that the ballots are shuffled in a way that we can be sure that no individual vote has been changed, but we don’t know which input vote corresponds to which output vote....

This confuses me. Is it difficult to shuffle the paper ballots without changing votes? Are we concerned that the ink my be moved from one circle to another circle or something?
Bill.com IPO S-1 Analysis
The author appears to be benchmarking the specific operations that bottleneck their json parsing library when running on an Intel chip, which seems reasonable, on its face. It can fail if the library is limited by a different set of operations, on the different machine. But that is unlikely if the specific operations tested are slower.
Sounds great - especially if chrome could roll out default blocking of it.

The EU (via GDPR) made a collective decision to disallow invasive privacy, if TickTock's response to that is to ban everyone in the EU and entirely lose the market that sounds good to me - teenagers will complain and people will shrug.
That.. is really impressive! Had no idea about this, thanks!

For a well rounded review, can you or anyone comment on similar offerings with competitors? I was not familiar with per-request containers, but it sounds like exactly what I wanted.

Agreed. I think that Google/Apple have the right idea here. I am especially fond of Google's applications of AR in maps and translations as those use cases are both common and useful.
The hypothesis of why local conversations are safer is that when traffic gets complex, the passenger will see that as well and pause the conversation. The person on the phone doesn't have that awareness. However some jurisdictions have restrictions on passengers for younger/provisional drivers, for just that reason.
Are you sure your password has a $ in it? What makes you think that they don't strip the $ when you set and enter your password?

If it seemed like they were doing a hash then compare, I would wonder if they are using the legacy unix crypt that truncates passwords at 8 characters.
It would be cool to use https://www.orchid.com/ (when it's ready) with the Brave browser. Tokens all the way down!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but these aren't segregation centers. There's a big difference between "let's segregate these people" and "let's re-educate these people." China seems to be well into the re-education process and while they may not have trains headed to death camps, I think it's more accurate to say that they are closer to those death camps than they are to Jim Crowe laws, having already surpassed cases like re-education boarding schools [1] which AFAIK are considered genocide by international law.

From the article the pad produces 30 MW-hr/year/m2. This implies that you need 292533 m2 for this to produce more power than a 1 GW nuclear reactor.

For an idea of the scale of this water based power reactor that would produce this energy, I compare to the amount of space required for a large surface area reactor such as a CO2 chemical scrubber. These reactors have effective surface area of about 500sq meters of surface area per 1 meter3 of volume. This implies that you are looking at a reactor that has about 600 meters3 of volume. This is smaller than a typical olympic sized swimming pool, which is about 1700cm3.

I don't know if these comparisons are fair, but it implies that there are some questions about heat removal and how it might be as dense of a source as claimed.
No, I didn't say they aren't involved at all, but they don't need to be involved with day to day operations once they have consistent flow of revenue coming in. They should be finding ways to unlock the next growth multiplier not sitting at a desk in SF worrying about operations.
I think it might actually end up the other way around. For example, primitives are going to be able to have methods now. In the end, the numbers just aren't there for certain types of computations without them. And people have been complaining about them missing for years.
>If your product was really both good and honest, you wouldn't need to try to force it down people's throats.

You do if bad products are spending more ad dollars than you. Being good isn't enough to capture the market.

And I assume that different audio drivers and software will produce minutely different outputs. It's also possible that they're queueing a sound to be played then canceling the sound after reading the raw computed signal out of the buffer.

Sleezy sleezy crap.
Seems appropriate given the current emergency.
Does profile switching work similar to Firefox's Multi-Account Containers?

Or can you only be "viewing" one profile at a time?
TikTok has said that their TikTok China and TikTok elsewhere apps keep their app and user data completely separate (in both data centers and policy).

Kind of like how Apple complies with iCloud China and Apple iCloud everywhere else.

I'm pretty sure most people live in private dwellings.
We're kinda already past this?

At this point we really need to start doing the "You wanted a Great Firewall? Enjoy. You now have no connection."

Removing China from the internet would also likely cause things that phone home to China to break. That would actually create some consumer awareness to boot.
I installed it on my personal laptop due to constant crashes with chrome that debug logging didn't help to solve. Brave suffered similarly so I stuck with Chrome. I do extension development so when I saw that they used the same store I was pleasantly surprised. I couldn't test my extension behaviour though, because the app it enhances was having issues.

I'll give it a go on the PC I'm using for work(family) until I upgrade. Free BAT!
It does though. There’s a ton of services using a deliberate misspelling in their name and all of them are meh at best in my experience.

I recently switched to an iPhone from android. Brave seems like the only browser that allows me to block ads without some sort of external plug-in app. I miss having ublock on iOS. But brave seems to do the trick for me and its place.
Hey there, I found an issue in the PR recently that affects the auto-renewal process. Nginx will still serve the old certificate after renewal succeeds since it's never restarted or reloaded. I have another PR open to fix this, but there's a manual way to apply the fix if you're so inclined (and you still have that Streisand server up and running).

Obviously this only applies if you don't plan on destroying/recreating your Streisand server after the newer PR gets merged (EDIT--just got merged). But just in case, the steps are pretty easy (it's in the PR here too: https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand/pull/1688):

[root@streisand]# cat > /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/deploy/01-reload-nginx.sh << EOF
#!/bin/sh
systemctl reload nginx
EOF
[root@streisand]# chmod u+x /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/deploy/01-reload-nginx.sh

If your cert was already auto-renewed (unlikely given the timeline), you'll also need to run systemctl reload nginx to serve the new cert, since the deploy script wasn't present when certbot ran the renewal.
I am not a developer, but a founder and product designer, so take my opinion with a grain of salt please.

From my perspective, what separates great developers from good ones is the ability to accurately predict how long something will take to build. This helps so so much with product development, sales etc.

You also need to be able to build things quickly and correctly, but as long as you can say how long it will take, you're doing your team a HUGE favor.
Fedberry is about same size as Yocto. Not a problem to customize RPM based distribution at all.
You were shown that it did happen, but continue to proclaim that it didn't? Incredible.
We will always have proles. That wasn't part of the argument.

Going by Marx, the "bourgeois capitalist" was an owner, and that owner had a very large say in how the enterprise was run. He had power. Tech companies remain one of the few cases that still adhere to the old formula--probably since they're not old enough to have fully diluted their ownership.

For older companies, the owners tend to be pension funds and retirement accounts. And the ownership is often so diluted that replacing an obviously bad manager rarely happens. The mutual fund just sells the thing at a discount, puts "company X ceased to meet our investment criteria" in the next prospectus, and maybe, if things get bad enough, a hedge fund will pick it up on the cheap and fire the managers--who should have been axed years ago.

With some of the newer companies, there are classes of share that are so restricted that--even if you owned a large percentage of them--you'd still have no say in how the company was run.
Is that the real question? No one cared in the US till a republican won using data collection. It's probably why big tech favors pandering to the Dems, if you don't you get ripped apart.

The encrypted ballots are all public and it isn't assumed they they're anonymous (eg. it's safe to post a picture of your RHS ballot on Facebook).

If we just directly decrypted them and published the results, they would allow someone to prove who they had voted for.

So instead, we shuffle them to anonymise them, then decrypt them to avoid being able to link an encrypted input vote to an output vote.
I find it to be a sizeable crock.

Look through the descriptions of the regions. Some are lauded for 'valuing education', 'hard work', etc. Others are tied to slavery, are "intensely suspicious", and so on.

This is a bunch of sorry tropes that don't hold water. It would have been just as easy to characterize the lauded regions as homeless poop-havens and the other parts 'eco-friendly' because the tree-to-human ratio is so much better.
I'd like properly anonymous stuff as well, but I agree and understand you argument. Given the performance hit we'd need to take to accomplish that's it'd be almost akin to paying a tax or protection fee in terms of cycles to avoid compromise - "It'd be a real shame if someone fingerprinted you..."

It's part of the reason why I get excited about toolkits like unity that remove the direct hardware interaction, but so far the limitations they impose always have come with serious costs as well.
