A site could make a lot more money by selling its users' passwords to the highest bidder — that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to deny them that income. Without sharing personal data, ads can still be relevant to the scope of the site itself (less so for incredibly 'broad' sites such as facebook, of course, but they get compensated by having a much larger audience). A site can also gather whatever personal data it wants, and serve its own ads.
This data seems highly valuable to hedge funds: if a fund could pin the devices of well-known bankers and executives of potential acquisition targets, it could see deals coming before announcements. Is this legal?
> The best way to help Africans is for Africans to help themselves in Africa first

That's akin to telling a homeless person, “Get a job!”

Social pressures, which may lead to solutions.

What's to prevent these bright young professionals as soon as they are flown back to their country from just getting sponsored by a company in another foreign country and then hopping on a plane again?

What you're advocating for is a very weak attempt at finding a solution by doing much of the same. Unless society is pushed, it will never change. Immigration provides pressure for society to learn how to integrate poorer people, whether homegrown or foreign, helping everybody.

100% agree. I manage two teams of developers - one builds the infrastructure for a back-office (power user) interface - the other builds the infrastructure for an end-user (casual user) interface. While both are web apps, the usage patterns are VERY different.

The power users know all the special shortcuts. Keyboard mappings, tab order, and also app-specific shortcuts (forcing look-ups to behave certain ways, quick key combos to access forms, etc). They value speed of data entry above almost everything.

The casual users know none of these things, don't care, won't remember them if we try to teach them, and place a much higher value on easy navigation and discovery via visual cues and mouse.

I think this is essentially a complaint that the study does not share your political topspin. I pretty much agree with the view that depression is a holistic problem, and the causes run deep. Treating the symptom is not likely to be a cure for the systemic disease. But you can't dismiss scientific findings because they don't exactly share your ideological diagnosis.
After the first few paragraphs, I was most eager to see how he managed to handle modern TLS on Win3.1. Last time I wrangled with vintage stuff near that timeframe, that was the toughest part.

Alas, he "cheated" for it with a proxy app. Can't say I blame him, since it's probably about as much work over again to get modern TLS 1.2 working on such an old Windows.

I feel the same way when I watch Doug Engelbart‘s “mother of all demos” video: https://www.dougengelbart.org/content/view/209/448/

It does seem like we found all the low hanging fruit very early and if we are being honest with ourselves have not discovered much in the way of profound ideas since.

But in terms the video here, if you have been around the UI space since desktop apps and are familiar with modern FE frameworks it does seem like we have gone backwards in many ways.
I'm speaking from personal experience. I have travelled a lot, and I've noticed this as a pattern over what must be hundreds of people I've talked to at this point. I don't really know if my sample is indicative of the US population--I'm just puzzled by what I've seen.

> There is no federal prohibition against prostitution like there is against marijuana.

Not directly,at least applicable to the states, but there are a variety of federal prohibitions around the sex trade which complicate it, and there'd probably be federal will for a direct ban if most states didn't prohibit it entirely and the fee remaining didn't prohibit it in most of their territory. Neither major party broadly supports legalized prostitution, for superficially different reasons.

> Another avenue that may be worth exploring is opening brothels on reservations, similar to casinos.

Not possible without changes to federal law, federal law prohibits prostitution on tribal land, while casinos are regulated by federal law which allows them with tribal-state gaming compacts.

It's not a lack of imagination and it's not that they're boring. It's because society is structured to punish people who try to step outside of their roles, socially and economically.

If you're from a poor family, they won't like it if you try to rise to a higher rank and may even reject you entirely. If you try a creative pursuit, you will suffer people's judgments and outright scorn on your journey.

Society needs people to shovel the gravel, and unless you can figure out a more efficient way to shovel even more gravel by tomorrow, it's back to your shovel. (The clock is ticking; what's your big idea, kid?)

There's an idea that you should be free from other people's judgments, and I think it's good practice to not take them to heart, but we still all social creatures and I think in the west we tend to overestimate how independent we really are, how much we are a part of our families, and how much we're a product of our environment.

Lots of people want to be artists and creatives and visionaries, but society needs very few of those, and if people deem you do not belong to that class then they will try their best to strike you down.

Many have tried, many have been stricken down.

I have a friend that had some home remodeling work done, poorly. The friend said to me, "But, they were professionals!" I responded, "Well, that's the problem. A professional is someone who will do the least amount of work in the least amount of time for the most amount of money. If you want someone who actually cares about the work, hire a craftsman instead of a professional."
For real though, in my world, the other America, ‘online sex trafficking’ is alive and well. Apps are blowing up with whores, they literally offering subscription services now.

> there are significant racial differences between slaves and people, and the same rules do not apply to white ones as to black ones because they are not the same species, they do not have the same brains/possibilities/rights/etc. Just like they did not grant any freedom to animals or trees.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that Southern whites, who lived in such close proximity to their slaves, actually believed this. It sounds like convenient bullshit that you would try to tell yourself in order to justify what you are doing. You see these people everyday, you speak to them, you own generations of them, and they raise generations of your own children in your house (mammies). Of course you would see enough to know that they are the same species and every bit as human as you are.

Ok, my bad, I was not aware that legitimate could actually be synonymous with legal. In my native language, legitimate globally means that it is the general consensus in society, something that ideally the law tries to capture but it is actually importantly distinct from legal and is never used in replacement of it.

Interesting.
Sex trafficking is not consenting adults. There is a significant difference between a sex worker who voluntarily engages in their profession vs. people who are forced into it.

It's weird to assume that developers who use Electron do so because they are ignorant, incompetent and lazy.

The truth is, everybody knows about Qt, GTK and so on, and everybody knows Electron is heavy but you have to be realistic. As a company do you want to spend that much money hiring a ton of C++ developers over a much longer period of time, or do you go for the solution which, while not ideal, allows you to develop a cross platform app in a much shorter time?

These days many people run Electron apps without even knowing it, showing that it's an ok solution.

I surmise that the password feature is not meant for true security. It's not protecting the whole document, just the spreadsheet formulas and VB code. Requesting a password for changes to the formulas obviously prevents accidental mistakes, and makes it unambiguously clear that only some people in the enterprise (those who know the password) are 'supposed' to make these edits. Quite clever, as far as it goes.

Because "legalizing it" doesn't stop sex trafficking or sexual exploitation, in fact all evidences point to the contrary, it increases sex slavery.

I guess this will probably be unpopular on HN, but...

I still use Chrome. I don't feel the need to "justify" my use of Chrome. I like Chrome. I care about internet privacy - I use ublock origin and have JavaScript disabled by default, and only reenable it for sites I really care about.

But I don't really have strong opinions about internet browsers. I used to use Firefox, but a few years ago I started using Chrome and just found it to be better for my habits. I like the tight integration between Chrome and my Google account.

I use a Google Home and several Nest products at home (granted they're on their own VLAN). I use GSuite for my personal email, and Google domains for my domain names. Chrome is just another drop in the bucket, and I can't be bothered to change it. I also tried using other search engines, and somehow still found Google to be more helpful for me despite everyone saying DuckDuckGo has reached parity.

I guess that makes me morally compromised, or supporting a "toxic evil" or whatever, but I just don't care that much. I'm self-aware in my apathy, I guess.
I remember learning ~20 years ago to always set `background-color: #fff` since, in those days of Netscape, a user could easily customise their browser's default background color. It was very useful to have someone on the dev team who was weird enough to have done just that! :)

Thanks for toning down your attacks on the author! Although when you completely rewrite your post after a couple of replies, it’s polite to note that it’s been edited.

Your criticism is still incorrect. It’s true that there are both compressible and incompressible forms of “the” Euler equations, but the papers you linked to are very clear that they’re referring to the incompressible equations. The abstract of the more recent one begins:

Show HN: minimidi.world – A Simplified Guide to TRS MIDI
This is the kind of thing I always read, but have never seen. I don't doubt you, or Joe Rogan. I've just personally never seen an adult who takes just a couple puffs every once in awhile. In my experience, it is a lifestyle of playing video games and sitting around smoking, unless they are someone who also uses other drugs and/or drinks a lot.

It may be anecdotal, but that is the reason it concerns me. It doesn't appear to be a positive for the numerous people I've known.
Many MIDI instruments, effects, and modules released recently transmit MIDI over TRS or TS minijack cables. But, the specs they use vary, and are not always documented.

The more I tried to learn about TRS MIDI, the more confused I got, so I started taking notes with the intent to explain it to others as a reference guide.

I organized what data I could find online about these devices from sources like https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3168946, along with my own research, and put together this web UI (https://minimidi.world) to search it.

You talk about this in such a way that makes me think you're a virgin. In the odd event you're telling the truth, I'm guessing you're rife with STDs.

I can see lots of benefits with just paying for it. They show up, do the thing, and leave. You get to determine when and where (mostly). You get an enthusiastic partner regardless of the effort you yourself put in, and exactly the sort of sex you want.

If I had the money for it, I'd probably do it too.
Firefox and Netscape before it go through weird phases of “we have to do a rewrite!” And then for the next 3 years they fall horribly behind and lose a huge chunk of market share.

After the rewrite they become quite good again but you can’t blame the people that jumped ship during the dark period where it seemed like nothing was happening.
After 20 Years at Oracle He Raised $70M to Reinvent How Companies Analyze Data
Yes and no. I discovered just fine with a keyboard, arguably better than with a mouse. Tap the Alt key, use the arrows to explore the menus.

Unlike with a mouse, the keyboard never "fell off" the active menu tree requiring me to start over.

Unlike with a mouse, the keyboard couldn't hide things until I moused-over them. Recently I spent quite a while trying to find the zoom controls on a PDF because they were transparent until I randomly waved the mouse in a corner of the screen where there were no controls.

Mouse-driven discovery sucks, IMHO/IME.

I keep thinking that we might take this opportunity of rebuilding an OS from the ground up to implement something like Plan 9. The usual adoption issue of drivers and apps seems irrelevant here.

Fundamentally, its distributed nature would allow far greater integration between desktop and mobile hardware. Mobile + laptop + NAS would be so deeply integrated that they would better be considered a single computer with multiple more-or-less accessible terminals - and if a mobile device was part of that integration, it would represent a sea change in the utility of smartphones. I'm personally a big fan of how a mobile device could 'automatically' use the processing power of a Plan 9 desktop whenever they're both on the home network.

(just a plan 9 newbie that is enamoured of the system design)
