> The best solution to this would be regional alternatives operating on a shared standard. This would avoid the problem of values not reflecting your culture's values, not having to moderate billions of people, etc.

You are just shifting the problem here to the edges between the different systems.

> I'm not a fan of the US's bizarre mix of laissez-faire "fuck you" capitalism and systems of regulatory capture. If all you value is rewarding any one company with an entire market because "they're successful", then fine. But the point of markets isn't to enrich a single company to the detriment of everybody else. It's to benefit the population. > There is no choice being made here. People aren't aware of how much of their date is being collected by companies like Facebook.

I don't claim the US has the optimal system here but I think it's dangerous to claim to know what people want under the guise that they don't know what they are doing. People will have vote with their actions if they want things to change.

> I can't take you seriously. You must be joking.

I failed to add enough context but I was mainly talking about advertisement based companies that chose this monetisation path. Having worked at start-ups I'm highly confident that many of them don't have security and/or privacy (anonymity) as a first (or second or third) priority. FB has made grave errors here but I'm not sure I trust "random FB replacer" any more given FB is under a magnifying glass not with people watching their every move.
I am a complete newbie in VR. We had a Quest borrowed by a friend a few weeks back, when my family was in quarantine. Playing Superhot was a lot of fun, but it became next level shit when we tried it in our basement, where we have a huge empty 40m² room. It was absolutely insane, moving through the room, around opponents. This was it! So yeah, 3DoF is not what we need. Give me 6DoF, a lighter headset and a wider angle of view, and I will spend the rest of my life in our basement :)
Based on the many stories published about TSA experiences, and based on my own personal experiences (nothing scary like this 2013 story), I conclude that TSA does not have particularly high standards for intelligence or empathy.

And to be fair to some of the TSA employees, their jobs look really sucky. Add to that a sense of power (because obviously they have the power to ruin your trip and perhaps your life if it causes you to end up on the no-fly list), and you've got a volatile situation.
Luckily he wasn't Sikh.
My experience with social media is that the goal is purely social reinforcement, not discussion. Typically HN is better than that but purely political threads like this with absolutely no technology or business focus tend to draw out people not primarily focused on discussion. That is why I deleted my Reddit account. Here is an example from this thread where a commenter, in their own words, is distressed only that I don’t just agree: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23617015

Also these hiring freezes may be due to covid, not loss of hope in ML. Google's AI residency program seems to be delayed but still going ahead, almost all the others were cancelled due to covid logistics (to my knowledge, at least FAIR, MS and Uber).

That doesn't detract from the article's point though - lots more interest in those programs than there are places.

You're being downvoted because "all brown people look the same to me" is not really a good look
Great, thanks for your one line nothing.
I think this is portentous. I think this is a canary that many will regret not noticing its asphyxiation. SSC, by most any measure, is a dyed in the wool progressive. The whole thing feels like a purge that is winding up and spiraling off into the next round eliminating undesirables. I wouldn't be surprised if the next victim is the triggerman/journalist who is responsible for this instance.
Original commenter here. They are not blocking GA.

Apple's ITP affects both 3rd party HTTP cookies and 1st party JS cookies. There does not appear to be anything but a UI change between Safari 13.1 and 14, from my initial analysis.

GA primarily utilises 1st party JS cookies. If you have GA on example.com then the cookie will be stored against example.com. On of these cookies stores a unique ID for you as a user.

GA will then send 'beacons' (GET requests to Google endpoint, with data passed in URL parameters) for pageviews and other events. Your unique ID is included in these URL parameters, which allows the various events from you to be joined up into a 'session'. That has not changed.

What ITP did previously (just over a year ago, I think) is limit the age of these cookies to auto delete after 7 days, meaning that if you leave a site for more than 7 days your new session won't be able to be joined up with your previous session. That is still the case.

If it is of interest I have a deck [1] that discusses this (link goes to the relevant section - skip to slide 71 if you just want to understand the ITP impact on GA).

I'll caveat this a bit - I've not done an in-depth analysis. The person I strongly recommend following for expert updates on this topic is (my friend) Simo Ahava [2] - he is an authority of GA and the impact of ITP.

Most terrorist attacks are done by far-right extremists in the name of a far-right ideology though
Isn't setting the perimeter already done with AR? I think this is a good start.
I think you need to think more about the domain and less about the technology and see patterns that return a lot in the specific domains. Those patterns will be so obvious that you will not even think twice about it. For example almost every crud app for a business will require role based user/permission management at some stage. So you can assume it and implement it straight from the beginning.

Pure technological decisions though depends a lot on usage patterns, tech advances, your personal knowledge and new requirements, so it doesn't matter what you choose in the beginning, assume you will have to rewrite it or at least fine tune it a bit after the app usage patterns are a bit more evident.
These slides simply assume that Haskell as-is is progress, and then bemoan the "fashions, whims, and tastes" of the industry in being slow to relise that. But to measure the "timescale of progress" you need to consider the duration not from the time an idea first appears until mass adoption, but from the time the idea is proven and market-ready. GCs were widely adopted within 5 seconds of them having acceptable performance and not being packaged in runtimes with other significant downsides. The adoption rate of technology -- in general and in software in particular -- is largely consistent with what we'd expect from traits in selective environments. Ideas that trickle slowly through fashions (genetic drift?) are those that aren't adaptive (yet?).
You are conflating a lot of different things.

Traffic fatalities were actually down overall (total numbers), but up per mile driven. In other words, people were driving much less and dying in lower total numbers, but the people who were driving were driving faster and thus a bit more likely to die. That article is poorly written to generate headlines and clicks.

Arguing over a specific IFR is also kind of pointless because the disease is so age and condition dependent. Whether the true overall IFR in a population is 1% or 0.4% doesn't really matter - it's a bad representation of the overall situation. COVID is a disease that kills a very large percentage of 80+ but is quite low risk for younger people. A single number doesn't capture or represent that. Demographic differences between 2 cities could easily cause a large skew in actual IFR.

Hospitals are (possibly) financially incentivized to diagnose COVID in the US. But this is a world-wide disease and no other country has the insane US healthcare system where that would matter.

> Taking this altogether, and we have plenty of wiggle room to suggest that even the excess deaths don't necessarily imply that COVID is extremely deadly.

That's not correct. It's absolutely clear from the numbers across many countries that COVID is extremely deadly if you are 80+ and not deadly at all if you are 15. Make of that what you will. Arguing over IFRs and hospital reimbursement is missing the point. It's simultaneously true that COVID is very deadly for some groups but may not be deadly at all for you and your friends.

There's a good argument to be made over how much of the excess death is due to secondary effects (untreated heart attacks, delayed cancer treatments, etc). But there's no way to arrange the numbers such that COVID doesn't obviously kill a lot of old people. Just look at the death rates in care homes / retirement homes. It was like a plague ravaging them.
I see Google Tag Manager in my list.
It literally does not matter for you if Let’s Encrypt is run by a hostile entity. They never get your private key, they only give you a certificate saying your key is valid.
I think it would be cool to make a mosaic of such circuit boards, one per European city with a subway, arranged in the shape of Europe.
Please don't misrepresent me.

In no place in my comment did I describe WeChat as better to FB (and I'm not interested in taking a position either way).

Nor was I promoting this:

> A state regulated and censored siloed system where you can't communicate across borders

Quite the opposite. I made it quite clear that my strong preference was for the fostering of open social networks & protocols.

* edit: the parent commenter edited their comment after my reply without noting the edit.
Hmm, I never even give a second glance to people taking the Segway tours in my city (Chicago). But whenever I see one in my neighborhood, 7 miles from downtown, hoo boy is it hard to not stare.

I also avoid them most of the time, although I don't think there are necessarily more of them now than previously. Sometimes the reason they are not encrypted is that they are fairly old (hopefully the server software was updated at least, although that should be much less effort than setting up https). Sometimes the sites do support https but don't redirect http to https and the http link was submitted.

I did a quick manual count of yesterday's HN front page articles according to hckrnews.com and found 8 non-https links (vs. 109 total non-dead links). 2 of these have a working https version.

I use the HTTPS Everywhere extension set to the new "Encrypt All Sites Eligible" option. Instead of using a list as previous HTTPS Everywhere, this tries to access all websites via https and pops up a warning if it doesn't work (most of the time; one of the six non-https supporting sites was misconfigured in a way that didn't get the popup). Since I want to know anytime I access an http site, I choose the "open insecure page for this session only" option if I want to look at an http page to make sure that it tries the https site again in the future and that I know any time I am visiting an http site. There are simpler extension that just do that, but unfortunately they are not Firefox Recommended extensions that are monitored by Mozilla. Hopefully it won't be too long before browsers do this themselves.
Most of us don't use GitHub to actually edit code, either. E.g., some projects are using their GitHub repo as the homepage, so I sometimes end up on GitHub on my mobile phone, too.
I don't like any part of the update but this is by far my biggest issue with it.
I think it's a bit more than a desire to show "fancy design docs" or metric gaming. I've seen a lot of engineers prioritize fixing as yet hypothetical future problems over problems that are burning them right now even when there is no need for design docs and no metrics to game.

I think some problems are just seen as sexier than others.
You don't need anything, but it's a useful way to do it without any significant drawbacks. In many cases, it's more or less the only option.
> you can just open Wikipedia

> biggest terrorist attacks on US soil,

Ok. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States

What you said, "during ramadan terrorist attacks are up significantly", does not line up with the source you asked to look at. Also what does "looks Indian, Pakistani, or anything between middle east and India." even mean? You do realize the spectrum of that population range envelopes the entirety of the human race.
>Although it’s designed to work with TrainTrackr’s own servers, you can reprogramme the chip if you want, and they provide some details for people who can do that sort of thing.

Should be simple enough if you're up to it - prove you are worthy to display something like this :)
>we're just doing statistics with big data and added sprinkles.

I mean, you could pretty much say that's how the human brain works, couldn't you?
So, they allow changing your handle to a random string, they delete selected posts if they don't break big threads, and they redact select info (like PII) from your posts, all of which upon request, and on a case-by-case basis.

To me, it seems reasonable enough actually, although the process could have less friction, i.e., instead of requiring an email conversation, just have buttons for edit/delete after their window has passed that the mods then review and get back to you for further clarifications or simply allow your edit/delete request.

Stephen Malinowski's videos of Kimiko Ishizaka's Art of the Fugue recording are breathtaking. He understands the structure of the music much the same way that Kimiko does, and it reflects in how he delineates the voices and the themes. He also gave a spectacular treatment to her completion of the unfinished final fugue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIrNDWqANCs
The cost of many false negatives is an overall worse quality of life for everyone, especially for targeted groups, and the enactment of a massive surveillance apparatus to enforce that QoL degradation.
You are full of shit, U.S. workers have been absolutely displaced by absurd low cost engineering H1B from India. Just because you suck up to Aadesh to keep your job doesn't give validity to the fact that entire H1B corporations are taking over U.S. companies and then holding them hostage, because once you migrate your entire infrastructure over to HCL you are then completely fucked and held over their barrel of control over all technical operations.

These Indian onshore companies literally take over entire tech departments and then give the finger to whitey who's worked there for a decade or more, and it's always a corporate decision by some dumbfuck CEO with zero tech chops that does this while getting blowjobs from Abha in the exec washroom.

H1B is fucking bullshit.
You still have the option of introducing new types, even there.

In Ada, the programmer is discouraged from using the Ada equivalent of int directly, and is encouraged to instead introduce a subtype that reflects the specific use of int (including automatic range checking).

This isn't as natural in C++ but is still possible. Boost offers a BOOST_STRONG_TYPEDEF [0] to deliberately introduce an incompatible type. (I do recall having trouble getting it to behave, but it's been a while.)

Whether this makes sense in most mathematical code, I'm not sure, but it seems like it's an option.

Yeah! But without the ridiculous pedaling nonsense. So... not like a bike.
I've used CFengine (long ago) and Ansible (more recently), and the way I remember it, they were similar: Both allow you to express "please ensure that this Debian package is installed" and "please ensure that the file foo contains this line bar".

So, as far as I can tell, in both cases you describe the desired target state of the box, and the tool examines the current state and migrates towards the target state.

I always assumed that Chef and Puppet were similar.

Am I overlooking something?
Very exciting. Diablo 2 is one of the best games for me. Lore and universe is extremely interesting too
It's not immune since few things in life have a measure zero or measure one probability. It is unlikely, though, imho.
> companies like VMware will release emulators that run natively on Apple chips

Exactly. This has happened before e.g. Microsoft's VirtualPC [0].

> However, Intel Windows performance might still suck in those

Bingo. I remember how agonisingly slow VirtualPC was for anything remotely useful (forget gaming).

No, that typedef problem is what C++ inherited from C, which is easily handled if you have a Linear-bounded TM (actually, a long time ago I think if our parser is able to interpret different state by different extra memory (like symbol table and AST), it is actually mimicking a restricted TM...until I learnt about some details of Chomsky Hierarchy)

What I mean is something like "Foo<Bar<Baz>>", the ">>" part can be a little bit challenging because we don't know if this is a right shift or not without context

C++ is also Turing Complete that its template system can implement boundless recursion and infinitely expand on its own without termination...essentially it means it may not even halt. That's why template metaprogramming is a (hard and horrible) thing...it's a sublanguage that uses C++ syntax and generates C++ code making the parsing even more non-deterministic.
Yes, we can use "very simple first-order reasoning" even when we argue about very complex problems. If you say that "swans are white" it is enough for me to find a single black swan to prove your hypothesis wrong.

That is exactly what is being done here.
In Gitlab you can add “ci skip” to commit message to skip CI run
I'm being downvoted because most people follow the sexy political opinion of the moment and they wish all the biggest terrorist attacks on the west were done by white Christians.
Please change my mind: I think that sharing modules on the run is not related on microfrontends. Actually what you can achieve with module federation it's achievable with npm modules. The main difference is that are accessible at run time and that them are sharing common dependencies. But it would be a hell to handle deployment and breaking changes.
I'd have another suggestion - sub-shields, especially around twisted pairs, like cat6 ethernet cable.
This is clearly wrong. If you put your pinky finger inside the hand of a baby s/he will grab it and hold it. This can be seen very early.
The law is out of date. e-bikes are just cycles under the road transport act, electric scooters are 'mechanically propelled vehicles' - i.e. just like cars and trucks.

In theory a scooter would be legal on roads if you could convince the DfT you met the safety regs, had a type certificate, license plate, VIN etc - it would still be illegal to use on a bike lane and I don't know that anyone has managed to do this!
Most terrorist attacks in the west are done by alt-righters though
Yes, the lexer considered >> as a single token, so you had to you write > >. The standard was changed in c++11 to allow the syntax; that definitely complicated parsing, but at least now heavily templated code looks a 100% less ugly.
But... how are these terms discriminatory?

To me this feels like claiming that "oh my god" is a religious saying. It certainly was at some point in history when everyone was religious, just like "master bedroom" probably referred to actual masters at some point, but today neither carry the full palette of the original meaning.

Today atheists and non believers routinely use "oh my god" with no intent to make a statement in support of religion, just as people use various "master" terms without any reference to slavery or patriarchy or whatever else the word "master" used to mean to people 100 years ago.

Like, even the word "lady" is apparently offensive now. To me it's just one of the respectful ways to refer to a woman ("the lady at the counter said ...").

What is this madness we got ourselves into... harmless but old fashioned words are not relevant to the real discrimination problems we're facing.
When people talk about privilege, this is what they're talking about. A white person would probably just not be in this situation enough for the need to comply.

I remember the first time I was flying to the US, I was adviced by multiple people in the days leading up to the flight, to get rid of my beard, because it made me look Muslim. From all the stories, it's probably a good precaution to take. Stuff like this and complying to authority in a polite way even though all human instinct tells you to be pissed is normal.
it's useful in mobile though!
I really don't want due process and laws to decide who my friends are for me.
If a organisation is criminal, then being member of that organisation means, yes, you are a criminal, too.

But in this case it is not a criminal organisation, by law, it is a company selling "software weapons" to a government the western governments view as legitimate and therefore ok to sell weapons to, even though it is not at all democratic.

So the company is acting within the law (probably), but we probably agree, that it is not moral to do so. If we agree on that, than it is also not ok, to support a company who is doing wrong. So I agree, to avoid people, who do no ethical work. But I don't know enough of the companies in question to make that final judgement and judge case by case, like always.
I agree that in the current form VR will not become fully mainstream. But do you remember when you set the perimeter with your Quest and could see your room? If this is refined (a lot), true immersive AR would become possible, which solves the problem of isolation. I think then, and with less bulky headsets, VR/AR has the potential to get out of its niche.
Judging generative art on how complicated the code is that it is generated by misses the point. For the "art" aspect the code is just a tool. It can get quite complicated but it does not have to. Other aspects as "controlled randomness" are far more important.

Concerning the "I could have done that in an hour" objection: Most photos are taken in less than 1/250 seconds but no one would use this as an argument against the artistic status of a picture.

This essay by Tyler Hobbs contains some thoughts on generative that I found insightful concerning the relationship of art and code: https://tylerxhobbs.com/essays/2019/code-goes-in-art-comes-o...
