[disclaimer] Don't get me wrong. I'm not a Trump supporter. I'm not even American. But you Americans watch too much CNN/MSNDC.

- You should rather focus on tracking pedophilia and human trafficking instead of worrying about a president's intent to shoot looters, and facebook probably has a lot of that shit, just like twitter.

- Looting is fine, don't shoot looters? Just hug them? They are putting fire on buildings with people inside it. They are killing black cops. They are destroying small businesses from their community.

- Trump is not promoting violence, he's trying to avoid your neighborhood getting looted. I guess it's fine when it's not your area, right?

- BlackLivesMatter is the worst movement there is. You need to research. It's not about black lives anymore. If it was, no black people would be dead or have lost their businesses due to the riots. ALL FUCKING LIVES MATTER. ALL COLORS. WE ARE ONE RACE.

- This is just like the #MeToo movement. Fake as shit. Now that Biden sniffs every kid next to him, where's the #MeToo people? But Trump can't kiss his daughter.

- When Biden says that it's fine, right? Because he's a lefty. He said: "if they start looting, shoot them in the leg", but not one cares talking about it. Also he said to a black person, that if he doesn't vote for him, he's not black. What the fuck is that?

- They all loved to meet Epstein, but that doesn't bother you right? Trump's tweet does. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-je...

- Trump is not racist, you just can't see it because you trust the main narrative. Before he was president he had a lot of black friends but no one cares to mention that, he's just "racist". Isn't he's wife a foreigner?

- Jack is a satanist, did you know that? He loves some Satanist verses. https://twitter.com/jack/status/5081?lang=en

What does good enough mean? It might not be capable of recovering 100% of the energy. And it would be a wonderful thing if it could.

But that's not the only way to define good enough that might be relevant here.

Many electric vehicles have a greater range in city traffic than they have on the highway, which is the opposite of how it is for ICE vehicles. So that means the benefit is quite significant, enough to help with cost savings.

Also, stop/start driving creates a lot of wear and tear on brakes. Maintaining brakes is probably a significant part of operating costs. If regenerative braking can reduce those costs, even if it doesn't eliminate them, it could still be significant.
Ford sold a fully-electric Focus for about 8 years. They've sold multiple generations of plug-in hybrid vehicles, and codeveloped (and sold) a fully-electric delivery van about 10 years ago.

They know how to do it.

Antifa doesn't really have leadership, it doesn't even have set of rules to follow. There are even disagreements between people regarding their approach.

The guys who founded Tesla (not Musk) to produce an electric supercar were coming out of the era where the EV1 had been destroyed. While I don't know if they personally drove an EV1, they were definitely rubbing shoulders with people who were. Did the EV1 product influence their decision to commit fully to developing an electric supercar? We'll never know for sure, but the timing is highly suspect, and suggests that it did.
Some people are able to use two keyboard layouts fairly well so long as they practice both. Having and using a traditional keyboard layout on a laptop in addition to your heavily-customized desktop setup is a good way to do both.

It was 75% on the course I did for a First - they used to go years without giving any (this was the 1980s).

We had no idea what we got in the end of year exams - just a nice chat with someone who told you "Well done, on course for a 1st" etc.
We're excited about it. Cloud/browser coding being normalized is great for us.

I don't think what we're building is a direct competitor to IDEs -- you'll always need a repl in the same way you'll have a TV but still go to the movies, or you'll have a tablet but still have a desktop etc.

That does read more like a Cloudflare advertisement, and they definitely don't add much in terms of who's being attacked. The graphs are pretty misleading with titles mentioning "since George Floyd's death" which would certainly give you the impression there is a relation but their data doesn't seem to back up that claim directly.
You're robbing the situation of all of its nuance. You could say corporations helping spread a proto-fascist leader’s call to violence against protesters who are exercising their right to free speech and assembly after a government agent murdered a citizen in the middle of street is a dystopia we should all be against. But that wouldn’t capture the whole issue either.
Why are we cherry-picking Nordic neighbours? Because they happen to back one of several competing narratives? We can find plenty of other countries that have implemented stringent lockdowns and have similar or higher cases and deaths per capita.

That's the beautiful thing about these almost meaningless cross-country comparisons - the data is so low-quality and heterogenous that you can pick a pair of countries and validate pretty much every hypothesis with it.
The problem nowadays is that it’s getting harder to separate legitimate speech from automated amplified speech.

Those who are able to build networks of bot accounts are able to deeply undermine discourse in dangerous ways, and social media platforms aren’t financially incentivized to deal with it.

Twitter could tell us right now how many bots are on the platform, but they never will because it could tank their stock.

As long as platforms can be manipulated by automation, this intentionally destructive speech will continue to proliferate.
People who supported slavery were wrong because slavery is wrong. If the South had won the Civil War and conquered the North, they'd still be just as wrong, but opposition to slavery would be more important than ever. History itself justifies precisely nothing.

"Random people" sending you money over a period of time will trigger all kinds of AML/KYC alerts

I remember a news article that showed up on HN, when people were all over how Revolut was allegedly lax with their AML controls, according to some news, etc

And then they never think they behaviour is going to trigger the checks and that it's ok to have random people sending them money without any justification.
No it doesn't. The customization could be done based on the source (Always/never show government officials posts, for example) or the votes of a trusted entity (the WHO, The White House, CNN, your cool friend who knows what is going on, etc). Plenty of empty gas bags have been identified by their reaction to Pandemic but also plenty of people who were right, early (and widely mocked at the time). There is signal there that users should be able to leverage.
As someone who has both coded and worked in restaurants for over a decade each, I assume that once the novelty wears off, you'll a) probably get start getting frustrated with restaurant life, overall and b) the lower income has its own long-term stressors that will grate on you.

I could be wrong though. If you end up just genuinely being a restaurant person, maybe occasionally doing some coding to supplement your income, that's fantastic. There are many things I loved about the restaurant industry.

I’ve never understood this train of thought that kids have no meaningful thoughts or points of view.

It’s not like adulthood has some magic turning point where ignorance turns to enlightenment.

I’d wager that far more adults are manipulative, pathological liars than kids tend to be.
Wow, did that dredge up a memory! I remember asking my parents for this game and was so excited to get it, except the box came without the disk. It took almost 7 months to finally get the disk because support kept asking my parents to send the defective disk back to be replaced, except there was no disk. :(
So, first of all, people in Germany at least are allowed vote by post: https://www.bundeswahlleiter.de/en/bundestagswahlen/2017/inf...

Germany and France have a mandatory national ID that everyone has. European countries which _don't_ have mandatory national ID will generally accept a wide variety of things. For instance, in Ireland, we can use a bank card, a social security card, a birth cert, an employee or student ID card, and so on. Essentially everyone will have one of these.

If the US used this sort of approach I don't think there'd be so much concern. The problem comes in requiring ID which certain classes of people are likely not to have. I don't think any US state has proposed an Irish-style approach to this; most seem to want either a driving license or a purpose-designed ID.

It's because the US doesn't have a national ID system and a significant fraction of the population doesn't have an ID and can't get one easily.

This isn't even a secret or anything, GOP operatives openly admit that the purpose of these voter ID laws is to suppress minority voters: https://www.thedailybeast.com/republicans-admit-voter-id-law...
The benefit to having "home on jam" in this case is that it's passive, (no warning to the target aircraft) and generally has a larger detection range than IR. AMRAAM has this capability now, which would allow for, in theory, long-range shots without the launching aircraft even having to illuminate. The AMRAAM's radar is short range, so you can use a combination of "home on jam" to guide to a range where the jamming is no longer effective, then go active and potentially make the kill.

This is a simplistic example of course; EW being a very complicated subject. But overall, having multiple sensors that you can either correlate or fall back on is the trend in smart weapons right now, and we'll be seeing more of those sorts of combinations.
There is literal research showing that Facebook is harmful to mental health https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sex-murder-and-the-m...

Facebook also has a long history of meddling in elections and actively promoting far right groups. Meanwhile, fascism is absolutely not a meaningless label, and it's literally what's happening in US right now. Trump’s own former defense secretary just compared him to the nazis https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/n7wn7m/welp-trumps-own-fo...

When a company builds its whole business model on promoting extremist ideology and mass surveillance, then it's a pretty strong indication that it does not in fact benefit society.
Out of interest, which country is that?

Germany requires proportionality, e.g. you obviously can't shoot people because they try to steal candy, but you can very much protect your car.

I have zero objections to that. You will not get money from an insurance company if somebody robs you or breaks into your house to clean the place out. It's really not "what do you care, it's only money, a human life cannot be replaced". The money will also not be replaced.
For the USA, I’m fairly sure it’s more the idea that it’s not the government’s concern where people live. Why would free citizens have to tell the government where they live?

For the UK, it might be more the UK mantra “if it ain’t completely and utterly broke, don’t fix it”. They tend to love traditions, even if they have become somewhat impractical.

For the UK, keeping a central register also was a bit easier than one would think, as women and most men didn’t have the right to vote until the middle/late 19th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Act_1867:

“Before the Act, only one million of the seven million adult men in England and Wales could vote; the Act immediately doubled that number. Moreover, by the end of 1868 all male heads of household were enfranchised as a result of the end of compounding of rents.”

(If I understand it correctly, “compounding of rents” is where landlords pay the property taxes that renters have to pay, increasing rent accordingly. Because only those paying property tax were eligible to vote, a side effect was that many renters weren’t allowed to vote)

I fail to see what would justify one able-bodied individual being able to vote by mail and others not. If he believes that the system unjustly qualifies him to do so, then shouldn't he, out of principle, not exploit it? Shouldn't the leader of a country exemplify their principles?
I get this entirely. And for me, this is driven by broken feedback loops in software.

Some years back, I started a company with an excellent product manager, one very focused on actual user impact. One of the first things we did is build a tiny, cheap usability lab; every Tuesday we'd have 4 users in to try things out. We rigged it so engineers could watch the sessions remotely, and for the sessions we didn't watch, he'd share key bits. It was really satisfying to see stuff getting used, what worked, what didn't.

Later, as we grew, we still kept the user tests, but added on a slick system for experiments. All of us were involved in thinking about what to test next, how we could make things better. My cofounder was definitely the best at that, but we all made contributions. We all were engaged. We all paid attention to what we were doing for users.

And it helped that despite being a startup, we were big on automated testing and pair programming. When my mom got sick, I took two weeks off and everybody was fine without me. They carried on releasing a few times a day, trusting in each other and in the safety net we had built for ourselves.

It seems to me that the average development process, which is generally about building whatever people with organizational power want, is emotionally corrosive. It wears us down, because it isn't satisfying on a human level. Which, IMHO, makes it way less efficient.
This is as expected. CO2 concentration is seassonal and since last peak we added some more. Corona is merely slowing it down. More interresting is the year over year comparison.
I suggest the advantage for everyone that talks to me about rsi and other typing related discomfort. It's just a great keyboard. Takes some getting used to (a few weird key positions but more the hardest thing for people to get used to is the way the keys are positioned in a true grid instead of staggered) but once you do you won't want to go back.

Rest assured though, you will still be able to use a 'normal' keyboard after your adjustment period.
If I were running a platform, I wouldn't want employees that would quit on me over not censoring news on the platform exactly to their taste.
Right...specifically, a limited public resource. The simple version goes like:

Broadcast spectrum is a limited resource. Said resource is owned by the public but since it is limited, you need a license to make use of it. In order to retain a license, you need to operate for the public's interest, convenience, and necessity.

It's also the basic reasoning behind such things as content restrictions and the system by which you can complain about something that is broadcast. If enough people complain about something you broadcast, it can be argued that you are not serving the public's interest and so be fined or lose your license to broadcast.

It's why cable programming is more restricted by a network's desire to avoid pushback from advertisers or cable carriers due to complaints (rather than anything under the jurisdiction of the FCC). They aren't required to serve the public interest in the same way, but market forces apply some of the same pressures.

In this case, I see social media platforms as being more like cable networks than broadcast networks. You won't see specific government content restrictions on most (legal) content hosted on these services because they don't require a license. However, they still face backlash if they piss off enough customers and/or advertisers.

Ask HN: Best file format for archiving photos
Today I discovered that macOS Catalina dropped support for some raw image formats. I have 20,000 photos from 19 countries archived in one of the newly non-supported formats. Lots of people long dead, and places that no longer exist, or that I will never be able to revisit. Luckily, I have an old Snow Leopard machine that I can dedicate for the next six months converting these files to something useable. But what? Since they're camera raw, I'd rather not go JPEG. I'm considering TIFF, but want to make sure there isn't something better that might still be supported years from now.

I'm going on paternity leave soon and hoping to use the opportunity to learn a new keyboard layout but I'm having a tough time picking which one to learn. I've already got an ergonomic keyboard (Iris) but I still hate the feeling of querty's layout. I run into so many words that just feel bad to type.

I think I've narrowed it down to two options (but I'm open to suggestions): Colemak mod-DH and Dvorak. They both take pretty different approaches that both seem to have merit. I like the ubiquity of Dvorak but I don't really predict it'll be difficult for me to get Colemak on any computer I use. Dvorak seems great but the placement of L and S seem very awkward to me. Colemak mod-DH seems to make more sense but I'm skeptical of the promise of finger rolls.

> what happens without police

This is a straw-man. The article isn't calling for abolishing police: "I'm certainly not talking about any kind of scenario where tomorrow someone just flips a switch and there are no police. What I'm talking about is the systematic questioning of the specific roles that police currently undertake, and attempting to develop evidence-based alternatives so that we can dial back our reliance on them."
Ask HN: Accent Correction Deep Learning for YouTubers?
Are there projects which can be used to process podcasts/voice overs for accent correction?

Some of my friends want to start YouTube channel but they are afraid of pronouncing a word wrong, can present technology help them?

It seems virtual assistants are able to understand pretty bad accent and butchered pronounciation, but can those models be used to auto correct voice overs?
Am I the only one still using Evolution? I think its IMAP implementation is a lot better than Thunderbird's.
