I don't think this is accurate. The hyenas are fundamentally sadistic and difficult to satiate. That's why they're poor - it's what got them banished. They make them hyenas to reinforce it's not brought on by the situation, they're just like that. You run the risk of a racial analogy whenever you use species to articulate personality but i don't think it's intended, even subconsciously.

I think it's actually a very deep analogy to real fascist regimes. Recruit the type of poor who beat people up in bars via rhetoric that implies the rich are responsible for both their situation, and that behaviour. One implication is that the rich are the only ones who are exploitative, and the leader of the revolution in particular is not. "When we win, I will be good to you." Then you end up with a dictator.

At a meta-level the point is that the hyenas are the type of people who are insatiable, which is why they're persuaded by empty promises of power and why everything turns to wasteland once they're in charge.

But even then, conflict is a fact of life. If the hyenas hate you, allowing them to take charge will suck for you, even if it's nice for them. It's not a nice point but IMO it's an important life lesson.
That's because the switching cost is less than the payment of inconvenience. Plus the inconvenience isn't permanent... it fades as people re-achieve workflow parity with the previous design.

Commercial tills also integrate with a huge bunch of other specialized periphery. Payment terminals are an important category (and an ugly one, because each country has its own, and there are many different protocols in use), but receipt printers, barcode scanners, RFID systems (to perform cashier authentication), cash drawers, checkout scales, cash management systems, RVMs (reverse vending machines; those things taking bottles back at the store) and whatever other, often custom hardware big retail chains come up with (think store signaling systems for example).

They also need to take fiscal requirements into account: in a growing number of countries, cash register systems have to satisfy fiscal requirements and must perform some sort of transaction signing and reporting to fiscal authorities, or integrate special hardware which gets all transactions and prints out the receipts instead of a "normal" printer on which you can print anything. This is an ugly topic that easily keeps several full-time employees busy, because fiscal requirements are mandated by law and thus are moving targets. The US doesn't have this at the moment, but compensates by having a rather special and complex tax system ;-)

And then there's the calculation of prices modified by promotions (think coupon codes, time-controlled rebates, such stuff) which is an entire topic on its own, especially when taking the interplay of promotions with sales tax calculation and rounding logic into account (not all countries round to .01 cents, some don't have anything smaller than 0.05, and some retailers voluntarily decide to round to multiples of 0.05 in order to eliminate handling effort with small coins).

Of course, NSO and other players in that field can do much, much, much more than advertised to the media.

Remember, the vast majority of people working for NSO worked for Israeli and US intelligence bodies. They serve in the 8200 unit doing malware analysis trailed by the NSA and then go work for NSO on the same sort of technology.

(If you want to get an idea of how much, I recommend "Permanent Record" but if you don't like Snowden then check out how far ahead intelligence bodies were _historically_ compared to public knowledge - WW2 crypto being a good analogy)

This lets the US government (and the Israeli government in turn) to make money off the technology without going through the same international regulatory systems.

The US government (or Israeli government) can stop companies like NSO in a single decision but they are not since it is making them money.

It's up to us (the citizens) to pressure them to do so and to promote security best practices and work on better tools to make it harder to breach peoples' privacy.
I think most would agree that if there were a globally connected (meaning countries are not silos), open and privacy first alternative would exist they would want to switch however I think once these platforms grow they would hit similar problems:

* To operate in multiple countries so people can stay connected you have to abide by local laws even if they don't match the typical values.

* Social media is inherently winner-takes all due to the requirement of critical mass and connectedness. The winners have shifted over time (myspace) before but it seems harder to do than with other consumer services.

* Moderation of billions is a hard unsolved problem and is a game you can't win. You walk the tight rope of either allowing hate speech or being too overreaching in censoring. I'm not sure other startups will solve this any better.

* I'm personally not a huge fan of governments messing with competition, especially not for services where the people themselves choose to use it or not. Some share of people like using facebook and I don't feel banning them for the sake of their success is the right solution. While I'm from europe myself I feel over-regulating is one (among many) of the reasons why there are almost no dominant tech players here.

* Monetisation and use of user data. While there are other monetisation paths many people are actually ok with the trade of their data for features and should have this choice. The larger tech companies probably have some of the most well organised and privacy aware advertising platforms compared to smaller players where the likelihood of privacy incidents is arguably higher.
Over the years I've tried to teach people about the Home key but to no avail. Similarly I've tried to teach people about using middle-click to open a link in a new tab, or some basic readline functionality like Ctrl-a, Ctrl-e for beginning end of line. But I've not seen a single other person use these features. Strange.

Thinking about it some more, I was being driven in a friend's BMW one day and there was some bad smell coming from outside so I asked if I should press the air recirculation button. It turns out he'd had that car for more than five years and had never pressed that button. In fact, he'd never pressed, nor seemingly even wondered about, most of the buttons in the car. Strange.

I actually don't understand the motivation behind these projects. Usually the games for which an open source engine is written for are quite old. Old enough that emulation should be more than sufficient to play these games on something like a Mac with an ARM based SoC. It is also not possible to exactly replicate the game without straight up reverse engineering the game's binary which will open you up for lawsuits. The end result is a very similar game that is merely sharing the same assets but it just isn't the same. If the project was created with the intention of allowing a new experience that is different from the original game then it will be harder than expected because you still need artists, musicians and so on to create more content. Ultimately I think people should focus on making a very good and very faithful clone instead of replicating an old game that still requires you to own the original and proprietary assets.

Of course everything I'm talking about could miss the point of the project and the contributors are just doing this for fun because they like writing code for games but can't create game art on their own.

But that's true of any motor vehicle that isn't a sub-$1000 used Corolla.

Personally, as a ML researcher, I find GPT-3 very unsatisfying. There aren't any novel architectural details, it doesn't improve our "fundamental" understanding of the field, and it requires the type of computation I have no chance of getting.

As a fan of the field, however, it is undoubtedly very cool.

I still think there's tasks that GPT-3 has no chance of tackling (say, generating code to solve a novel programming task), but the bitter lesson is a bitter one indeed...
My grandma used to have a motorized bicycle to help her get around, the difference with ebikes is that it had a LOT less torque, and that it made a sound so you could hear them coming up from behind you. E-bikes are a lot more zippy and quiet.

Even worse are the high powered e-bikes (rated for 50kph, helmet required), because their users ride them as if they're either a bike or a scooter depending on the situation, zipping between bike lanes and the road whenever. And they're silent.

What does 'mob' mean and how does it differ from 'majority'? The fact that the speaker is not part of it, maybe?
Of course. But a car is much more difficult to steal than an ebike and in the EU bike theft is so rampant that police doesn't even bother with them but take car theft a lot more seriously, not that anyone would bother stealing my 2014 Camry but if I would leave my ebike chained in the city overnight there's no guarantee I would still find it in the morning.
Hi! I produced this recording and project, and it's so nice to see it on the front page of Hacker News this morning.

Let's talk about Kimiko Ishizaka, the pianist. She always insists on standing in the background, letting her projects be about Bach, and public domain, while she quietly delivers the most stunning performances of these works that one can imagine.

Kimiko is German-Japanese. She grew up performing in a trio with her brothers who are also both notable classical musicians in Germany. In addition to the Goldberg Variations, she has recorded the Well-Tempered Clavier I (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPHIZw7HZq4), and The Art of the Fugue (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIrNDWqANCs) and released them into the public domain as well.

Then, in 2019, she did something completely new and released an album of her own, jazz-inspired compositions for solo piano called New Me! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph35hLwcckY&list=PLeWVBqJrTS...). She continues studying Jazz and is composing a cycle of songs (pop-jazz), and a series of ragtime pieces for piano.

Kimiko is very athletic, and has placed in the top-3 at the German nationals in both powelifting and olympic weightlifting. She has a room in her house which functions both as a piano practice room, and a gym. It is painted pink and decorated with Hello Kitty, because, well, she's a half-Japanese girl who loves Hello Kitty =)

The most amazing thing of all just happened to Kimiko, however. She gave birth to a beautiful son (https://twitter.com/KimikoIshizaka/status/127507285375949619...), just 5 days ago.
Same. But between the quest and a rift S, I would certainly pick the latter. The quest wasn't for me, it just doesn't do enough on its own (bought the quest first because I didn't know the disadvantages). You can theoretically connect your PC too, but that is finicky. The rift S was fun for a time, but the lock-in is disastrous, but far worse for the quest. Typical for "modern" software, but VR landed in a corner like many other attempt before. It can be fun for a time though.

The first time people are very impressed with VR, but it is just too much effort for regular use. Even in games like Elite, which has really good VR support, I returned to my flat screen after a while. Nice to find you coffee mug, be able to find your phone... I have "see-through" mapped to a button, but you still feel caged.

And such beacons are then expected to be anonymous because no cookies data could be send along.

If any tracking oriented company wanted to overcome this for nefarious reasons they wouldn't be able to do that without explicit help from the visited website who would then become legally liable. (For example by including in the beacon call a hash of personal identifier like IP or e-mail disrespecting RGPD and such).

Is that a good enough layman understanding of the stakes here?

Every time I have been in the US I got into the special screening, maybe because I am from a certain country with a lot of Muslims. So what? who cares? I understand why they do it, I know it is not personal and I just cooperate and move along with my life.

Even more than that I don't understand why they even bother to pretend to check all those old American white women, just work according to probability and statistics, people are not so fragile like the blacks in the US that they can't deal with a bit of police or border questioning.

Ishizaka-san's performance is excellent, I highly recommend this recording. Yes, most people will tell you about how the Gould recordings are "the best" — but before you agree, listen to this. In my opinion, the Gould recordings are very interesting, but I really prefer this performance.

He did it so well that most "high" fantasy that came out after him felt derivative of Tolkien.

I'd really like to see counter-examples though; I feel like I haven't dived into the genre enough, in part because I'm turned off by the sheer volume of some book (series) on the one hand, and the juvenile tropes (generic hero's journey formula) on the other.

Finally, somebody's brave enough to say the truth!

I've been helping with some work for a small local gang- we do the usual (murder-for-hire, "debt collection", extortion, etc). Although I only do administrative work - keeping records and such. Pays great. But you know what? My wife- my wife of five years- left me when she found out.

Can you believe that? What a fucking fascist. I didn't do anything wrong. I never killed anybody. And, sure, I did also help machine firearms for folks, and I did help with some supply chain issues to make sure we have a reliable supply of bullets, but I never shot anyone. Not one person.

How dare anybody discriminate against me?
That's false as well.

One further thing to bear in mind here is that some causes of death can be expected to be decreased on account of lockdowns e.g. accidents - less people out and about, less people driving etc. will naturally lead to less accidents. Of course on the flip side, more people stuck at home & using the time to do renovation work etc. could lead to an increase in e.g. power tool related accidents.

Other causes of death such as flu can likely also be assumed to be decreased as a side-effect of lockdown
