And I guess 90s Microsoft didn’t have a monopoly if you counted all embedded OSes and all software and all hardware devices with software.

There are other monopolies and Google isn’t alone, but I think if this were political then Twitter and Facebook would be bigger targets.

Maybe it’s petty because Google completely bungled the Congressional shaming.
As someone who hasn't played Animal Crossing - this is kind of surreal. Sounds like a glitch in the way game mechanics allowed users to hyper-inflate the primary currency (by manually changing the time on their system) - and saw the economy migrate to a currency which more readily fits with a model of "unforgeable costliness".

Great writeup on that by Nick Szabo

Banking shouldn't be done from your phone IMO. It should be done from a secure location (your home) on a computer you can trust (not Windows). I don't get the rationale for requiring to do bank ops so often that you need to do them on a phone. Protect yourself.
Is this a rhetorical question or does it seek an answer?

Assuming the later, academics and people working on these investigations, if the "open web" is the market they are using for their antitrust analysis. If Facebook participated in this market then one could argue that there is some competition.

The Master's in education is recognized by International Baccalaureate (IB) which is a well regarded program. I'm not sure of the exact relationship as the program is new. (It just started this year.) However, it likely wouldn't be accepted by the various state education bodies for teaching licensing. (This is a guess based on my past experience in education.)

Personally, I see the very existence of a designer handbag store as a clear indication of a system that is broken to the core - an insult to unselfish people everywhere.

A designer handbag store to me perfectly exlemplifies a completely broken tax system and citizens being held hostage by a corrupt government and corporations defending their interests.

I sympathize with people who would want to damage that system in any way available to them.

I wouldn't do that particular act myself, but I also recognize that I've been very lucky to not have been one of the people who has suffered at the hands of such a broken system. Lucky I had good parents, good health and good education. The system has failed others, and shows no signs of self-correction without intervention.

I find it eerie that you're excluding from the equation the tens of thousands of homeless people in those cities. The right question is "to what lengths should we go to give people the ability to live with a roof over their heads?" The bay area has answered with "very little", where most people are barely offering human empathy to the homeless.

Gov. Kristi Noem: Media Manipulates Information to Push Lockdowns
I think what you are describing has a name: Reputation Systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reputation_system).

There seem to be more effective ones and less effective ones.

Unfortunately sometimes economic incentives cause them to be gamed against real quality. E.g. think of shill online shopping reviews, and circular voting to boost reputation.

In academic terms, that would be "citation rings" to promote their rankings. Like web rings, there are nice and friendly ones, and there are heavy, spammy clones of sites. I would expect the rise of junk-article, plagiarism-from-elsewhere, machine-learning-assisted-plausibility mutual citation rings if there were no good controls to detect and prevent that sort of thing.

This is interesting work, though not what the Americans call “cursive” (their term for joined-up or Schreibschrift).

The style used in these examples would be considered “printed” or block letters. . I like that it embraces two different forms of, for example, ‘t’ — my handwriting (both joined up and block forms) exhibits a number of contextually chosen alternative forms and ligatures that I somehow unwittingly developed over the years — in particular relaying to t, g, q, and z. I wonder if that is common — I rarely read anyone else’s handwriting any more.
The theory I hadn’t heard before was the theory that human children uniquely help with the raising children process when compared to other complex species, and this helped make the population boom faster than it would have been otherwise. An interesting thought at least.

Not a stupid question at all! If you place your phone near the top of the window and angle it down, you'll see an image that looks remarkably like a satellite image and in many cases, better. I didn't believe it could be done either when I first started. A few friends working in the GIS space saw the images and started requesting them on frequent flights I took, and that's about when the lightbulb went off.

There are still a ton of variables that affect image quality. Type of aircraft, weather conditions, altitude, camera, seat position (sitting forward of the wing is slightly more advantageous because the inference engine doesn't have to correct for the exhaust blur in the aft), angle of view, residual engine vibration/dampening, time of day, flap/aileron position, the list goes on. Part of the go-to-market strategy involves making sure the hardware product and the inference engine handles a number of those limitations. Neither satellite nor aerial imagery is perfect, but you have a vastly higher chance with ~80,000 flights/day vs. the 300 commercial imaging satellites in orbit, with automatic cost savings in the millions that we can pass on to our customers.

To somewhat oversimplify, the regional accreditation bodies (about a half dozen of them) are older and better established than the national accreditation bodies. They generally have 100+ year histories, accredit all of the major universities within their jurisdiction, and in general have acquired a great deal of respect throughout US academia.

National accreditation boards in general, and especially those that are not field-specific, are seen as being less rigorous, faster to accredit, and more profit- or prestige-motivated than the regional accreditation boards. Most are relatively new and some of the most prominent (e.g. ACICS) have been involved in specific controversy over the quality of their work. Because the regional accrediting boards are older and better respected, the first question about a university that advertises a national accreditation tends to be "why aren't they regionally accredited?". It is both symptom and cause of this difference that most for-profit and otherwise "questionable" institutions are nationally accredited and not regionally accredited.

While some national accreditation bodies are considered rigorous and respectable (e.g. ABET), they tend to be field-specific (in the case of ABET, engineering) and often require regional accreditation as a prerequisite to accredit a university, as they consider regional accreditation to be the indication that the broader learning institution is able to provide a quality program. Usually specific departments or colleges of a university will go to these types of accreditation boards to add a credential to specific programs (e.g. "ABET accredited computer science program") above and beyond the university already having a regional accreditation.
Good points. According to OP, the goal would be to persuade FB to back off crawling at 300 qps, not to bring down the FB crawl. Having each request expand to 1GB is probably already enough to do that, since a crawler implementing the mitigations you mentioned will likely reduce the crawl rate. Should be easily testable.

Vanessa Bryant Gets Beautiful Tattoos Honoring Kobe and Gianna
The article's goal was to understand what set early humans apart from their closely related species, not simply to understand why modern human populations have exploded in the last couple of centuries. The answer to that seems to be that inter-generational co-operation in early human societies are what set them apart, enabled specialization and allowed the development of technology that frees up time, which led to more pop, and so on.

Perhaps these facts are not novel? I'm not sure how much of this is generally understood. Personally it seemed an interesting read. My education consisted of listing eras of human evolution (hunter gatherer, farmer, stone age etc), without much info on what human society looked like in the hunter gatherer stage. So this was novel to me at least.
You could also look at Bitwarden. I'm not affiliated, but it's an amazing password manager (desktop app, mobile apps, browser extensions). Even better, it's fully open source; you can even run your own server to keep out a third-party being your (encrypted) sync server. I've been using it for a couple of years now, and have never had a single problem. Free for personal use of almost everything… an upgrade to include the two-factor auth you're looking for is a very cheap $10/year.
Honestly, I disagree. Their Gnome theme looks as/more modern then any default look for any other OS/DE that I've seen, with the possible exception of KDE.

> Gypsy is a racist term for an ethnic group called the Roma or Romani, who have long suffered from prejudice in Europe

It is an exonyme, so shouldn't be preferred but is not a racist term in itself. It wasn't coined as a slur and isn't in itself derogatory. It is built in the same way Roma is from a time people thought the ethnic group came from Egyptia (well most likely what was then called small Egyptia so Epirus in Greece). It also often tends to be used as a synonym for nomads with people referring to the Irish Travellers as gispies.

The card effect however seems to refer to the stereotype attached to Romani which is very much racist.

As an aside, it is a lot less clear to me as a foreigner why crusade and jihad are seen as racist cards. They refer to historical conflicts which were motivated by religion not ethnicity. It might be because my native language hasn't stretched the definition of the word racism as much as American English did. The world now seems to encompass any form of prejudice in America but confusingly to me sometimes strangely not things which would be considered extremely racist in my native language like applying the world race to humans. Sometimes I feel like a cultural gulf is opening between both sides of the Atlantic regarding what is and isn't appropriate.

Most pixel art today is designed around square pixels. The pixels are typically blown up to some multiple for viewing - and in many cases, not even an integer multiple! This has resulted in the design of filter kernels that make some trade-off between the true sharpness of square pixels and the aliasing of nearest neighbor interpolation.

Therefore, even before images hit the display there is a rationale to avoid using photographic resampling techniques, just because the method of their authoring defined the meaning otherwise.

See also: The gradual evolution of font rendering techniques. Earlier versions of Windows aimed for pixel-grid snapping to produce clean, sharp edges. Newer ones introduced anti-aliasing techniques, but again made trade-offs towards sharp edges, including exploitation of the LCD display format, while the contemporary Apple rendering favored the photographic approach. With the introduction of high DPI the differences have become less pronounced, but there's still disagreement about how best to render vector fonts into pixels.
No, you're quoting word for word a heavily biased article, pushed from a site that is publishing "information" without being able to prove it or provide supporting sources, and whose outlandish claims don't match up to multiple reports by news agencies with years if not decades of experience providing news both locally and nationally.

Time, NPR, and several others paint a much different picture, and appear to be able to actually substantiate THEIR articles, unlike this one that you're championing.
>using a $40 Raspberry Pi to do your banking

So exploits for iOS have recently been published whereas Linux and Firefox have warm and fuzzy associations, so clearly Linux and Firefox will work better than iOS in this case. Is that your argument?

(I mention Firefox because all of the online banking arrangements I know of rely on iOS, Android or a web browser.)

Ask HN: How to land a job after finishing a PhD?
I finished my PhD on CS with specialization in optimization through evolutionary algorithms a couple of months ago. Now, I am in the transition from a full-time student to a job in the industry. As pointed out by many users in HN, the hiring process is demanding, more than I expected (many interviews, coding challenges, and so on). Also, recruiters often set the bar very high: you are expected to know a considerable number of programming languages and frameworks, and previous experience in other jobs.

If you have experienced this transition, I'd like to know more about how you dealt with it.
The problem with imposing restrictions on real estate developers is that it reduces the amount of housing, which increases the cost. (Look at California, for example.)

I’d rather they force commercial developers to put in two bedrooms worth of housing for each full time employee worth of office space they add.

If the developers are short-sighted and only add high end McMansions and condos, that’s fine.

The housing market will eventually oversaturate, and those properties will end up selling at a loss to people that couldn’t afford them at the original price.

The Microsofts and Amazons of the world will end up paying eye watering premiums for open space floor plans, or luxury real estate developers will take a bath. Either way, not a tear will be shed.

They taught us this in advertising. White text scatters over the iris on a dark background, so it’s harder to read the copy. I’ve even read it in UX articles. It was amusing to get out of school and into the tech industry to find dark mode everywhere.

Granted, I use it too. Both my terminal and editor have dark themes. I’m not really sure why. The terminal isn’t really a big deal to me. I could go either way there. But I’ve just never found a lighter color theme that wasn’t offensive in an editor. I always try them for a bit and end up switching back.
