I wholeheartedly agree with you. I've been thinking so often lately, that I'd really just like to know what's happening in my loved ones' lives, and not see everyone airing their amateur political opinions. But I think the reality is that these sorts of things are often a gray area. For example, I don't want to hear everyone's opinion about the riots in America. But my sister lives in Minneapolis and the building next to her house was burned down. I want to know about that. And while generally I don't want to hear heated debates about laws and court decisions, I've got LGBTQ family members and when SCOTUS makes decisions affecting their lives, I want to know about it. But what I do and don't want to know about is not an easy thing to filter. Even my closest friends probably wouldn't be able to accurately filter what I do and don't want to know about. I highly doubt that an algorithm tuned to optimize engagement and profit is really going to be able to accurately filter what I want to know about either. I've resorted to muting anyone who posts anything about politics, and doing things the old fashioned way and calling people to hear what's new in their lives.
It seems like they vote. Aside from voting, we’re dealing with rates of change which outpace voting results like a f1 car overtaking speed walkers.

Voting with your wallet is an extremely powerful and simplistic tool. Generating bad PR enforces the former and informs the latter (actual voting)

You make the process of handcuffing the DEA in any capacity sound easy.... but lets walk through some high level steps:

You would need to formulate enough PR to generate a movement, that PR would probably need to span political parties, those political parties (because we only have two) would need to work well between themselves to systematically allow for such an approval to pass. Ignoring the fact that most voters are no single-issue voters AND ignoring the fact that gerrymandering has removed/hamstrung entire voting demographics.

It's a mind-numbing exercise to think of generating enough support in today's environment to effect serious change though voting.
Yes, I find multiple monitors very engaging and also way too distracting.
Not sure if this in bad faith, but...

What we should study is how these companies successfully laundered their reputations, such that we can hold modern corporations accountable for conspiring with genocidal or dictatorial state actors. This does not solve every ethical problem that underlies the contemporary corporation, but I believe that companies that are complicit in the mass extermination of human life should face the consequences. Hopefully, we're on the same bandwidth here.

I don’t really understand the concerns about brightness. On my current display I work at 20% brightness, otherwise my eyes start to hurt.
There is a difference between US based software (e.g. servers located in the US), vs a CEO that's from the US (or China in this case). If the argument is that Zoom the company has routes traffic to China etc then fine I can get behind that. But if the argument is the CEO is from China I find that problematic. I mean it's not like internment of Japanese Americans is ok if it's limited to only first gen.

EDIT: Also sounds like you're saying that it's ok to avoid doing business with someone based on national origin, which I also find problematic.

> Even filing for bankruptcy in such a case seems unfair to me

I have a debt, I cannot pay the debt. What do you suggest as an alternative to bankruptcy? Indentured servitude?

> Why would you allow someone to gamble for almost 1m?

My point exactly. The lender is responsible for lending to people who can make good on their bets.

> It's the same logic that if an underage kid shouldn't go to jail if he kills someone.

I think it's more about finding a sweet spot between lender/borrower responsibility. If you're giving some kid who's day trading after watching a few youtube videos $1M, you're irresponsible and deserve to lose your $1M. The system shouldn't protect these people. I would apply the same logic and processes to student loans as well.
The author is biased because of ligatures. These special glyphs are a little more dense than normal text, e.g the triple line equals and need a higher res display to look good. I personally dislike ligatures, I have no problem chunking two characters together in my head.
We should absolutely be investing in that, similar threats like supervolcano eruptions, and, obviously, climate change. Until recently you might put a global pandemic on that list too, actually! Unfortunately both the capitalist and democratic systems are poorly suited to tackling such long-term threats. Climate change is the most immediate and certain of these (outside of pandemic), and even there the response has been pretty poor. But at least there is a response, unlike for these other disasters that will hit someday; we just don't know when.
> Then name the events.

I didn't claim to know the answer, just that your claims lacked support.

Of course slavery shaped American history, and thus its culture, but step back and imagine it never happened. Let's say the first blacks arrived in the US in 1990.

I'd still expect a similar level of racism toward blacks, because that's true globally. Even people in somewhere like rural China who have never met a black person are likely to look down on them.

Some of the Southern goofiness would be gone like you point out, but overall I'd unfortunately expect a remarkable similar situation.
Ofcrpls deleted their message before I could get my response out, but…

Maybe I need to be clearer in my intensions here... I like to make a yogurt that is thick like a sour cream. I know that commercial producers often strain theirs as well (or add xanthan gum) in order to get the consistency they want. On that same note - I have really liked the sheep milk yogurts over holstein milk yogurts because the difference in fat content does make a consistency difference. BUT, I've also contemplated that there are different cultures that might also be part of this difference as I've seen that for myself as well but have not been able to identify which cultures might be making the difference. All that was the reason for my inquiry.

I think what people tend to mean is national media not necessarily local news sources.

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC tend to favor the Democratic Party. While Fox News tends to favor the Republican Party.

Some of the largest newspapers NYTimes, LA Times, Washington Post, etc tend to favor the Democratic Party. There are a few that tend to support the Republican Party.

When you look at the endorsements by newspapers and magazines you will see that it is overwhelmingly supporting the Democratic Party [0].

How exactly does E2E encryption work for something bandwidth intensive like Zoom? It can't possibly be encrypting the stream with a different key for every participant, the bandwidth requirements would be impossible.

Is a new key generated for each stream, which is then individually encrypted with every other participants public key, and then sent to the participants for them to decrypt?
Which is why I said "general-purpose 5K". I want to use the hypothetical perfect monitors with a i3-like window manager on Linux.
If you bothered to read the articles I linked they include many other examples such as:

>last year, in a Wisconsin case, a jury found a Milwaukee gun store liable for selling a gun to a 21-year-old customer
I have an LG ultrafine 5k, and a cheap BenQ 4k. The difference is night and day. I hate the BenQ* and will dump it as soon a I can.

My suggestion is to hold off until you can save up and buy one of the suggested displays when it's in your budget.

* The BenQ has a matte finish which effectively blurs everything, e.g. it's like it reduces the resolution by 10-20%. The colors are not accurate to my macbook display, despite trying to color calibrate. The brightness is dimmer as well, or looses contrast if I make it bright. Built-in speakers sound awful and volume cannot be controlled by software. I could go on.
You are completely missing the point by an internal bank semantic.

Credit cards, yes, started replacing the high APR credit-checks. And then moved to a mix of this and regular debit checks.

But the actual process, which was what i was describing, was still pretty much exactly the same used to validate a check (whichever type) at the bank branch. Where the bank will draw the funds from is not a important topic when we are talking about process of the transaction itself.
Comp.lang.ada archive dating back to 1983
I recently bought a Thunderbolt 3 monitor as what I have vowed is my 'Last Thunderbolt 3 purchase (except replacing broken things)'.

I'm holding out for Thunderbolt 4, when I can (hopefully) treat my wiring topology like USB instead of daisy chained all to hell and back. Because of this, I looked at good qualities in a secondary monitor that were survivable on a primary. For instance sound quality and real estate are less important, raising the priority of PPI, color gamut, and VESA mount.
> From a business model perspective, if Zoom embraced open-source, what would be their moat/value-add, compared to users downloading/forking from GitHub? Not being snarky: I'm genuinely curious what the "good citizen" (but still profitable) OS/FOSS model would look like, whether at equivalent revenue or reduced revenue.

The idea that a business needs a moat to be profitable is a problem endemic to business.

The value add would be in hosting services and support contracts. Video chat is needed by a lot of non-technical people. Furthering, plenty of people don't have sufficient bandwidth to host their own video chat even with just their own friends or teams. Even technical people often don't understand how to write secure software.
It might be true on X86 if you’re using a flat memory layout. With segmented memory or PAE, all bets are off. Thankfully PAE is usually the responsibility of the operating system which provides a flat address space to each process.
Once again, the American tradition of privatizing gains and socializing losses lives on.
The explanation in the article is reassuring and all that, but even still RH was allowing $700k+ margin on a $16k account. Maybe they feel the risk is low for covered-options writing-- and justifiably.

However, last I checked (some time ago) a purely cash account would have required literally $700k+ to execute this trade. Because, you know, stuff happens.
One use case I know of is in a mining operation. They collect a ton of data about their equipment and their mines as they work, but they are often out in very desolate areas with no internet.

The mining equipment runs greengrass right on the machine to do real time inference to help make mining more efficient as well as flag potential equipment failure to the operator.

So they would strap this device onto the equipment, it would collect data and do inference, and then they can swap it out for a new one and send the old one back so the data can be added to their data lake to update all of the AI models.
I've always wondered why that is, given the space-constraints that affected the other areas of those parts' architecture. I assume it was just for development speed, given that the array was easier to lay out (and maybe even had some kind of primitive EDA tooling)?

No. That's the point.

Exactly. Apple as a market leader selling access, has monopoly over its own market, and is obliged to compete fairly when it distributes apps to that market. That's why the antitrust cases' result is pretty obvious even now.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how to make affordable housing. It’s not like the US can’t afford it. It’s a wealthy country, look how much they have for the military.

It’s just not a problem capitalism is gonna solve. There isn’t huge profit to be made. Government could solve it.
> But if you have a no soliciting sign posted on your property, and the salesperson is refusing to vacate the property, they can be assessed trespassing fines and possible legal charges.

How is this different from when you don't have the sign? Do they get to refuse vacating the property without trespassing in that case?

FDA still allows companies to hide ingredients under the guise of "natural flavors" and "artificial flavors". I hope you aren't allergic to one of those!

Logitech to display carbon impact labels on product packaging and online
Seconded. Was also one of the grant winners as a biotech, and went through it again later mainly for the practice in pitching/ability to connect with the local startup ecosystem. I actually liked that in the second run through, there were not that many other biotech startups, it was nice to have a community of diverse companies (both in terms of fields and to an extent founders, since I think the cohort was a lot more diverse than the startup space as a whole), and I actually particularly enjoyed one of the group sessions where I somehow ended up grouped with companies in Chile. I wish there was a "don't group me with similar companies" option since it was almost more interesting and more useful to have a conversation with a Chilean legal tech company and learn about how they approach problems they face than talk to another biotech. It was a really interesting experience, and the deals weren't that bad either.

Walmart sounds just like Amazon.
When my monitors die (they are already 12 years old) I'll switch to 120Hz or more, but I am still not convinced by the high-dpi monitors I've tried.

Also, I don't like using non-integer resolution scaling, the results are always a bit blurry/unpleasant, even on high-dpi monitors.
They have also a ton of already existing information on you from platforms such as Android and gmail, can track you on multiple levels including your location, and serve you micro targeted ads.

Saying they are politically popular to hate on sounds as if the criticism is not warranted.

Honestly, "reward good behavior" is the best approach, to be combined with "condemn bad behavior".
I've done it, takes less than a minute and is akin to accepting a EULA (which of course no one reads).
On the flip side, TD Ameritrade had me go through a somewhat lengthy process and required a 2,000 deposit. They even shipped me a technical booklet on options trading.
I wouldn't be surprised if they shorten that process though. Robinhood spawned an entire generation of 18-35 year old high risk & low info options traders. Everyone else probably wants a piece of that.

Lying about a feature isn’t just a “mistake”.
> people on HN are always so eager to crucify a company for its past

Perhaps. In my case it's less crucifying a company despite intentions to fix and more crucifying a company because I'm tired of hearing the same PR nonsense and not seeing real improvement to the industry as a whole.

What you're seeing is the flip side of the whole "it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" nonsense.

What is political content? Is news about the protests political? Is a statement by the president? Is a new law going in to effect political? Is someone commenting about wearing masks political?

> Text classification is a thing, and there are many other techniques, so it seems possible to recognize political content with some reasonable level of accuracy and show me a lot less of that.

I think you severely underestimate what constitutes classifying something as political.
>Does it really handle everything?

It does for my use case, but obvious your mileage may vary.

>Can I turn of part of the screen, if I actually only need smaller space?

Sort of. The monitor can split into dual source mode that has two 1920 sources side by side. You could potentially turn that on and set one side to an empty source. You can also always use a black desktop if you need the rest of the monitor to be dark to allow you to focus on whatever window you have open.

>Can I position a 1920 default width space right in the middle in front of me without it looking weird (i.e. symmetry of screen hardware borders)?

How do you accomplish this with two monitors currently? You would have to choose between symmetry or having one monitor front and center. The Dell software allows you to customize the drag and drop regions. I use three columns that are the full height of the screen. You could set it up to have a 1920 section in the middle with two 960 columns on each side. You could also setup your physical workspace so one side of the monitor is centered in your vision instead of the center of the monitor. Also I have mine mounted on a monitor arm that allows me to reposition it as needed.

> Are workspaces working correctly (in unix, windows, macos, all of them?)

It works in Windows and that is the only native GUI I use. Everything obviously works fine when in the terminal and I rarely increase the resolution of a VM past 1920. I would frankly be shocked if there wasn't similar software available for Linux and OSX that allowed you to setup customized zones like Dell's software if you need to run one of those natively.
I didn't find it in the article, but I'm curious how much the school district made off of the wells.

Or blackmail him, because obviously they have his profile too.
I'm torn on this a bit since I enjoyed having to practice pitching concisely to new companies outside of biotech to improve that aspect, and to get new perspectives on problems from different people, but I also did enjoy the times that we accidentally (or deliberately?) got regrouped with companies from the prior week and could catch up on progress made. Both have their place and their use, but some level of deeper relationships (as built in the first version that I went through when there were set cohorts) are definitely lacking in the current iterations. Part of it might be taking initiative to stay in touch on your own I guess.
In 10 years there will still be plenty of companies that never adopted "current" trends.
I think the Pro Display should be disqualified for the price :). Like with the new Mac Pro Apple made the dream Display/Machine for professional video artists with high-paying customer. As a price, they completely neglegted their power user base which requires something different than an iMac.
I can only hope that either Apple or Dell makes a more basic version of that screen based on the same panel. And of course, on a high end screen I would expect more than one input. You might want to connect your laptop to your screen too...
Alternatively, I am hoping for an iMac with a larger screen.
