"the police were the ones instigating the issue" - absolutely not true.

The reporter shot in the eye and the reporter temporarily detained were literally at riots in Minn. Being at a riot when the police have lawfully asked you to leave is 'instigating'. Literally requiring the police to come and use force to move them, and 'the police are the instigators'? This defies reason.

And the 'shoved' woman in the video walked right up to the police officer and was clearly saying something - I don't think it justifies the response but she was literally instigating a confrontation.

" Maybe you should start by blaming them for instigating this whole mess."

I don't 'blame police' because one of them did something egregious, I blame that officer, just as I don't blame 'Americans' or reasonable 'protestors', for looting, murdering, destroying things - I blame the people doing it.
I read about a system like that, and the thing is that it not only caused different mistakes, but the mistakes are scary because they are potentially unbounded as well as novel and extreme.

When the machine/program seems perfect, then people get conditioned not to question it. There was a case where a UI issue caused the selection of an adjacent dosage to what was intended, and a nurse gave a patient something like 100 pills.

There were several checks in theory, but everybody was like "gee this seems weird, if the computer says so, it must be right".

Automation inherently multiplies actions, so the fear is that bugs don't just cause a single error, but many, until someone notices and has a chance to react.
Who on here was saying front company for intelligence agency? I imagine if that is the case this is already being picked up by any number of threat intelligence solutions like Shadow Dragon [1].

Also this group looks almost cliche Cold War intelligence agency. Their UK name servers appear to host the authoritative records for half a dozen amateur radio groups / HF repeater runners in the UK. Fascinating, could someone reach out to them? cleddau-amateur-radio-society.org.uk AND tenby-radio-repeater-group.org.uk AND taffvaleradio.club with DNS records served from ns1.mhosting.co.uk.

Superb! Direct me to a rich Rust GUI application which targets the web, Linux, and iOS. Speaking to team tech familiarity, our front-end web engineers will be thrilled to get cracking with Rust. That'll be a sight!

> I think that is exactly what users don’t want. Users want stability and quality, not feature churn.

I'm glad you know what users want. I generally prefer them to tell us, and incidentally, "feature churn" never comes up in such discussions. What user stories do come up can be completed remarkably quickly in our Electron stack with stability and quality too.
If it's "one of the better documented cases of hosting companies being a proxy for intelligence wars", can you provide any documentation of that? Your link describes a bog-standard spat between companies when one leaves a business relationship with the other.

It's also not a particular secret that hosting companies operate under multiple brands, buy others and at the same time new ones pop up regularly.
I will say I have had a Jin Hao x450 I purchased from aliexpress break and spill ink all over my bed. I think it was a fake or third-shift manufactured though. The ink that came with it was so watery that it cleaned up completely from the white quilt and sheets.

I have a Lamy Al-star (metal-body version of the Safari in the OP) and it has treated me very well for some years now. My only issue had been losing it, but have since bought a replacement.

That doesn’t seem reasonable to me. People will communicate via the most expedient means available. The telephone wasn’t “standard” until suddenly it was. Signal’s use is widespread, and people choose it because it has been designed to be very secure and private. The auto-deletion of
messages is a key part of that security and privacy. It seems reasonable that politicians are entitled to use secure and private online communications, just as all other citizens are, and just as they always have via phone and spoken conversation.

Just as the police have so many guns it would be suicide for the oppressed classes not to have them. (Just as we have seen.)

The police in America are extremely well-armed, far better than the general public in most places. It poses a real danger, as we have seen playing out over the last few years.
Nah.

(1) For open source, out early is better than out later. v0 (or v1 or where ever you start numbering) shouldn't be perfect. If it's perfect, you're sharing too late.

(2) All this is volunteer work and a gift to the community. It's a fallacy to think the person who writes the code is also responsible for doing everything else. Some people code well. Others write well. Others do both well. That's okay.

(3) My comment was on the dexed ecosystem; not just on this piece

(4) All that said, what would be awesome is if

- There were sample audio files we could listen to. Ideally, these would be for the generated patches, but even if there was just a half-dozen example WAV or MP3 files.

- If the README file on github had a link to the web page, or at the very least, if the current text (thisdx7cartdoesnotexit.com) said "exist" at the end instead of "exit"
So funny seeing this now. I'm sitting in a doctor's office waiting room right now for routine maintenance, and I keep hearing the fax call sounds from behind the desk. It's alive and well here.

I see.

> suggesting biological relevance one might not expect with a statistical reversion to the mean.

Just going to note here that regression to the mean is not 'just' statistical. It happens any time two variables are not perfectly correlated. The imperfect correlation could be due just as easily to 'biological relevance' as it could be to some sort of more purely statistical random error like rater error, so pointing out biology is no evidence. (As in the classic example of the flu patient going to the doctor and recovering afterwards; they really were biologically sick and really did biologically recover.)
Who were they protecting themselves against by coming in with guns? Why else did they do it if not to intimidate?

Do you think 20 or 30 armed Black men could have gotten away with this?

Agreed. Taking non-CS classes? Definitely worth it. Getting the arbitrary extra words on your diploma? Less worth it

About 10-15 years back a friend and his other high powered model rocketry buddies were flying rockets that used nitrous oxide as an oxidiser (and using polypropylene or cardboard as the fuel!)

They were just squirting compressed liquefied N2O in to their motors, but were talking about the possibility of throttling by adding a controllable valve.

1920x1080 is more pixels than 1600x1200.
That's a famous story I've heard of, not sure if I ever read it...but I feel like it could be compared and contrasted with "The Only Neat Thing To Do", kind of a different take on a young woman looking for adventure who ends up paying the ultimate price for the good of humanity.

Edit:
Haha, I clicked on a link to goodreads and the second comment compares it to "The Cold Equations".
Hmm
1. This is local execution

Have you written about your experience with abuse, or are you willing to share? It's absolutely awful that you would experience that for something so obviously positive, but if you have thoughts you want to share on that it could be helpful for those of us who want to continue to challenge abuse in tech generally and might be educational for people here (maybe me) who engage in harmful behaviors and don't realize it.

(It's also not your responsibility to publish your abuse, I'm only opening up the opportunity to say more if you want to.)

Japanese order is severely overhyped in most Western analyses. Women routinely get groped in public, organized crime is a big deal, and political campaigns drive around residential streets with truck-mounted megaphones. I'm not saying it's a bad country, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't match the crystal-pure image a lot of people seem to have.
Indeed. I also really like that this hierarchy is... not a hierarchy. I.e., there's no universal "correct" ordering of what/how/why.

Lots of people emphasize the "what"/"why" when talking about software engineering ethics, and lament that everyone only ever talks about the "how". I think that view kinds of misses the point. The three questions are rarely completely separate. Plus, for most engineering projects most folks will work on throughout their career, the "what" and "why" are extremely straight-forward and at least relatively uncontroversial. The "how" (good security, good uptime, etc.) is by far the most important question.
What is Sinek's thesis statement? I don't think this answered the parent comment's question.
I thought Japan was the most orderly place ever.

The most clean, orderly, mindnumbingly elegant country ever.

Their literature and media, though, is a complete contrast.

Their TV shows are loud (visually), with many overlays, graphics, transitions, etc. Their print media is the poster boy for chaos. Their information density is so huge, I wonder if anyone even reads 10% of what is on the page.

edit: I guess the insane information density in their language and printed media is perhaps an outcome of obsession with conciseness.
Google "System Design Github.com". There are some amazing guides there. GCP names their products pretty clearly (looking at you AWS) so mapping them to Google Cloud products should be easy.
I know that this makes it to the front page because it is symptomatic of frustrating and frightening things that affect society as a whole. I won't comment on those things because I don't know the answers.

But insofar as you want to solve your particular problem, there is a simple answer that seems not to have been suggested here. Get a lawyer and sue them!
Not the gp, but I'm just completely baffled by the high density obsession. 1920x1080 is just great for everything I do, every day. Messing around with hidpi settings is far more of a drain than just using a standard resolution. No app ignores 1920x1080. Everything works perfectly, every time.
Taskbar 6.0 enables a Samsung DeX-like desktop experience on Android 10 devices
Maybe I am alone in this opinion, but I believe it is bordering on tasteless to write an article like this without even a token mention of how this cultural desire for order helped lead to likely the most sophisticated and orderly genocide in human history.
Enjoy your college life. Socialize. Revel in the extracurriculars, don't treat them as an obligation to be endured. Join some clubs. Don't just hole up in the lab. Being well-rounded from your college experience will improve your life in many ways, your career being just one aspect.

I am of the belief that all adults should memorize this list (including pronunciation, they are slightly different than the normal words).

It’s not onerous and can be done in a few minutes, and if nothing else will save you from sounding like a fool when spelling things over the phone (“a like apple, c like cat”). They are standard for a reason.
If you’ve got a magically efficient drive that’s unrealistically fuel efficient to sustain long term high thrust like in The Expanse that’s one option. But if we’re waving our magic wands anyway, why not just wish up artificial gravity instead?

This is really cool. Spaceships feel like a limited choice for this though. Being able to generate models of humans or animals already animated to a standard skeleton would be a hugely useful asset. As a hobbyist game dev I'd love to buy random monsters off the unreal asset store, but I can't help but feel it'd be really lame if the monsters in your game were seen in some other unrelated game. That would be super limiting on any immersion instantly imo. Tools like this could help a lot. Maybe it's even easier since the skeleton would be the same?

According to the 2012 spec, the SSID _can_ have an encoding. It can optionally be either the previous byte buffer without any real limitation to it, or UTF-8 encoding.

So as hex, you would need to try both of these for your ssid: U+1F4A9 or F0 9F 92 A9

Unfortunately, encoding to UTF-8 and setting a BOM won't guarantee this will work for you, because most QR decoders actually use heuristics to guess the encoding of the text.

You can make it behave a little better by setting ECI (to specify the encoding) when creating your QR code, but even though that was introduced in 2000, most QR decoders don't have ECI implemented.

Your best bet is to try UTF-8 encoding of the emoji first, and then fallback to the unicode representation.
The idea, if implemented well, is amazing. Most helpful for typing in native languages, other than english. The software on the desktop can update / modify keys based on user interactions and options.

Can anyone tell me of any vendors for those tiny e-ink screens?

I have been looking forever for screens that can fit into a keycaps.

edit: Even non e-ink screens are ok.

edit: Upon closer inspection of the images, and more importantly, their library page, it looks like they have a giant e-ink screen and transparent keys. This is a clever design and I would consider it a win if the mechanical performance of the keys is on par with regular keyboards.
Yes - people who only know technical things can become convinced that (a) only technical things are worth knowing, and (b) that their perfect logic can enable them to come to ideal conclusions about things they know nothing about. (I think some of the latter stems from experiencing years of education where a small number of factors needed to derive a perfect solution, as in a first-year physics problem. When you go to build things though, you discover that you have to understand the situation and its users to design and build what is really needed.)
Funnily enough, no, the setup I prefer doesn't bother me. Also 160 dpi == "large pixels" for a computer screen, really?
It's actually very tasteless. So if we have to write like you suggest, an article on German engineering should also mention the Holocaust? You should be embarrassed.

Ask HN: What do you think of a decentralize social media
I wrote this quickly. I'm not sure if anyone is interested. If this gets a lot of attention I'd be willing to write more specifies and a protocol spec that you all can share your opinions on

-----

They say social media makes roughly $6 per user per quarter. We all know a number of social media companies collect enough data to make us uncomfortable. In 2018 it was revealed that companies took that data and use it to swing elections in a number of countries to the biggest buyer. Data has real world consequence. After the reveal people haven't significantly decrease use of social media and globally it grew

$6 per quarter isn't a lot. With that money we can easily fund an open source decentralized social media. There has been a number of attempts but for one reason or another the average internet user has never used any of the open source. Some issues are lack or poor quality of web/mobile/desktop apps, no easy to use service to get start and lack of moderation to prevent abuse (scams, bullying, noise to distract and degrade performance or user experience, etc)

What I'd like is to fund a set of protocols (not specific to social media) and apps to improve programmers lives then see if we can proceed to repurpose some of them for a decentralized social media. The following is a list of what I think would be popular and I have a draft of each protocol if people are interested. Each of these should be usable from a command line app and from the web.

- Authenticate (with a discovery extension). Allow users to authenticate a device and give them per app permissions. ie my desktop may be a full admin, my phone will have read/write (but not overwrite/delete) on file sharing (so I can archive photos) and my raspberry pi may have read only permission on few apps and no permissions on others.

(continued in comment)
- Friend Authenticate. Same idea as above but for giving permissions to users who are not you and authenticating/verifying the data that comes back as them/valid.

- Event, file and SQL database. Apps running several device can publish/subscribe to events so they can synchronize with eachother. For example I may select a number of photos on my phone and 'share' it to my file server. It will also publish an event so my desktop can download them so I'll either A) have a copy on my desktop for fun or B) have a copy so I can start editing the moment I sit down.

This can be further optimize with a discovery protocol. If the file server is remote and your desktop is on the same network the desktop and phone start syncing via local network

- Public event and database. Same as above (per app basis) but more complicated and restrictive due to it being shared with public/unverified users and friends. Your friends may have permissions to write comments and edit/delete their own but a stranger attempting it will have their comment/data ignored

- Data discover: Your friend may have written a comment or review on a third party page. The third party does not want to moderate comments/reviews however the app supports it. This piece allows users to write about third parties and their friends to discover it

(This will be at a later stage)
- File Caching, balancing and a peer to peer extension: If a file becomes popular it may be cached on several networks and users may have better download speeds due to accessing a closer network or from pulling files from a less busy network. This may be more noticeable in places where internet access is slower outside the continent or if the user is on an island

Apps that might be built:

- An RSS like feed so people can subscribe to eachothers blogs, podcast or to consume events
- A calendar app for teams or married couples that have different apps on the different OSes they used
- Sharing comments on an unmoderated video site (ie videos might be moderated but comments are only seen if your friends with the comment author or if their friends with the content poster)
- An email like system that uses the file sharing protocol to retract emails and attachments)
I definitely will once it's no longer up. I might before then, once I improve the moderation tools a bit more. But between just being a neat thing to spam, and specifically targeting me as a trans woman, a lot of people seemed to enjoy posting hateful messages on the site when it was popular on reddit.

The anti-trans messages were really important for me to remove. They weren't particularly hurtful to me, but a good portion of my webcomic's audience are trans teens, and I _really_ didn't want their first experience at this website I made to be hate directed at them.

Thanks for asking. I'll definitely write more at a later date. :)
I think that’s attacking a straw man. Head down to Ginza and watch how people don’t jay walk even though the cross walks are blocks apart. Then do the same thing on Fifth Avenue where people can’t be arsed to get to the cross walk that’s on every block. I don’t think anyone thinks Japan is perfect, but the contrast is stark.
I’m okay with retirees suffering if their colleagues are committing murder. They are incentivized to stay connected and provide guidance. At some point someone has to bear the burden. Right now it’s the tax payers, present and future. I would rather it be the police officers past present and future.
