Yes, but they are likely Trump voters, so any vague accusation of "hate speech" (like intentionally not realising what is satire) will be one further step in preventing his re-election in November. Let's be clear that this is the end goal.

My first thought was they did it from a security/quality perspective. Less fake accounts in their ecosystem trying to hawk free trials when you have to verify by providing payment info.

> my power wheelchair costs north of $50k

Holy mother, I had no ideas they could be so expensive!

Out of curiosity (and unfortunately because I might need one myself before too long :(, I just had a quick Google here in the UK, and I can't find any more expensive than $3k. I'm not sure if you meant "normal" electric-powered wheelchair, or something else?
Ask HN: Why does nobody use ISO 9995-7 key symbols?
⎋ means Esc (perhaps it looks bad but that's just a font problem), ⇧ means Shift, ⎇ means Alt, ⇱ and ⇲ mean Home and End respectively, ⌦ and ⌫ mean Delete and Backspace respectively etc.

Mac users often record keyboard shortcuts like "⌘ + ⌥ + ⌫" but PC users write Ctrl + Alt + Del whatever... Emacs users have a notation of their own.

No single keyboard cheat sheet (which could save screen/paper space this way), nor even an actual keyboard I've ever seen had ISO 9995-7 key symbols - everybody just uses the names.

Why is this?

Legislation that has any kind of a racial (or perceived to be racial) aspect to it cannot really be discussed freely. Even though closing such loopholes may be perfectly legitimate, if exploitation of the loophole happens to correlate to a racially identifiable group, in the current age of social media based hyper propaganda it is a very dangerous political move for a career politician (or their party) to touch.
> Its about governments powerlessness to control the message from foreign cooperations likely influenced by foreign governments.

Fair enough, that is also an issue.

> Maybe 0.000001% of it is 'protecting users'.

I think we need to bring in concrete examples here. Consider GDPR -- would you characterize that as a governmental entity protecting its users?

> Again, probably 0.0001% of Users will so even if you give them the option.

I kind of doubt that. Facebook has introduced limited control over certain aspects of your feed and everyone I know has used those features. Even non-technical people I know routinely complain about suggested content, non-chronological feeds, and so on. These are popular (if not nearly-universal) concerns.

> So hurting users even more in the process?

Ok, I was off the mark there. I just mean that there are problems with the current platforms that expose real vulnerabilities into public discourse and democracy that have been exploited, and will be exploited much more thoroughly in the future. So doing nothing is not sustainable.

Vermont today has much better beer than Magic Hat (even at its height). They tried a lot of different stuff, and most of it just wasn't very enjoyable. What Magic Hat did have was beautiful marketing and wider distribution.

It has to be partially by choice, but The Alchemist and Lawson's make some of the best beer I have ever had, but they are both impossible to find outside of New England and a few parts of New York.

I recently moved back to Vermont, and one of the first things I did was purchase Heady Topper. Even less than five miles from the brewery, it was hard to find!
Well, nsa mass surveillance and legalized torture were never repelled by any side.

In fact, the patriot act has been prolongued 5 times, no matter the administration, and is still in effect.

As a european, I don't see any party that actually have american people's interest in mind.

Fighting for either seems so futile from here.

Of course, we have similar problems as well so I'm not going to pretend I have a solution.

I believe this to be a myth. MCAS is not "just" so that it feels like the old 737. Without MCAS, it would not be certifiable.

KafkaFlow: a Dotnet framework for Kafka
From my experience, there is a dearth of illegal content (e.g. illegal trading, solicitation of prostitution) and an unlimited supply of Chinese propaganda on WeChat. I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI was already monitoring communications and content being posted on there. If not, they really should be.
Recently had a couple of interviews with members of FAANG.

First was a quick call with a recruiter to make sure the role was a good fit. Then a prep call where I was told exactly what my interviews would be, then a 3 hour session with 10 minute breaks between each of three interviews.

The second was a similar quick call with a recruiter, then a 1 hour phone call technical screen. Then a prep call and ample prep material shared by the recruiter. Then a 5 hour session of 45 minute interviews with 15 minute breaks each hour.

These were both for technical roles, but not 100% engineering roles. Both processes were fully remote. I was struck by how well prepared I was, and how few surprises there were.

I had a chance to discuss the interview process with both companies, and they talked about changes in the process to support remote interviewing. The first indicated that there was no difference other than being remote. The second indicated that their typical interviews were full hours, rather than 45 minutes, but otherwise the number of interviews was the same.
The title is extremely misleading here. Apple isn't forcing the developer to "implement auto-billing", they're forcing them to use the system API for trials and in-app purchases (a feature of which is auto-billing).

I won't argue auto-billing is user-friendly, but users being able to manage their subscriptions in a single place, not to mention having the subscriptions explained with a consistent language, and presented with consistent UI across every app, is definitely user-friendly.
The Raspi hasn't been anywhere near $35 for the decent versions for a while now, though. And while the 4gb pi4 is $55, the 8gb version (which anyone who wants a pi would want because that memory makes a ton of difference) is $75.

Sure, the 2gb version is cheap, but it's also borderline useless if you want put a pi4 to use as a computer instead of fancy arduino.

And while they're both "computer-board-things", we can't really compare a LattePanda to a Pi: the only reason LattePanda boards exist is because they allow the same kind of prototyping/embedding as the pi, but specifically for windows. There is very little reason to buy one unless you _need_ a board that runs regular windows (because you need to run closed source, windows-only tools, for instance).

Oh, it was that Nick Clegg. The one who destroyed the Lib-Dem party by voting the Tory party into power, without getting anything meaningful in return. I thought perhaps the name was a coincidence.
I had very little idea what retain cycles were - what a weird term (to an outsider)! I thought it was related to using a variable for looping or something.

Show HN: Blackhole – an HTTP sink for testing, record and replay HTTP traffic
Where are British schoolchildren getting these Pis? Mine aren’t. The school where my sister works isn’t giving them out, either.

The closest I’ve seen to what you describe was a BBC Microbit my son was given as part of holiday club but that was sponsored by Maxell, not the British government, Broadcom, or anyone else.
As a victim, I am glad that someone is finally talking about this and taking action.
> Still amazes me these days what’s possible in browsers or on a phone

I'm more amazed at the author, it doesn't even kick in the fans on my old MBP 2013! And even then, this is the least praise-worthy feature of the explorable explanation! I find the whole thing quite mindblowing. Congrats to the author.
Rocket Communications | Senior Angular Developer | Colorado and/or Remote | Full Time | https://www.rocketcom.com

Yeah there's the network round trip and that is going to be the bulk of the time. You have to serve interactive apps from servers that are close to your users.

DNS, even when censored by the government, should be cached by the client for the TTL. And, for interactive apps, you should keep the TCP connection open between requests. (Not really sure what the browser state of the art is here, but the idea behind HTTP/3 is to skip TCP entirely, and let the server control how long it remembers the state necessary to keep the session alive. One autocomplete request should be one UDP packet.)

I'll also point out that networks aren't very good. For example, I have a RTT of 50ms to Chicago, but the speed-of-light round trip between New York and London is 36ms. (For Chicago, it's 8ms!) At least on my setup, the vast majority of the time is spent waiting for a DOCSIS timeslot. Once my packet gets to the internet, it's pretty fast.

Remember, people are playing real-time shooting games over the Internet. If they can make that smooth, you can make your autocomplete smooth.
If you actually do this, I'd love to read a blog about it!
Fruition: Free, Open Source Toolkit for Building Websites with Notion
6 months is too soon, assuming it got significant attention (which that thread did). The cutoff is a year or so: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. The "or so" is there to allow the window to slide a bit, depending. In this case, the story has been discussed so often that we should probably wait more than a year.

I didn't see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22368657 at the time, but it reminds me of a title for a blog post I'll never write: "Nobody Reads the FAQ".

Are you aware of anyone who is not financially incentivized by Pinterests success that thinks your practices are acceptable?
This is why I'm not a fan of GNU/Linux. There are 27 different distros which all support different hardware, so you can't just pick one and run it across whatever hardware you want.

I run NetBSD, and the same exact software that runs on a Pi will also run on a RockPro64, just like the drivers for a zillion PCIe devices which work on other platforms will also work on a RockPro64.

GNU/Linux really should share more between distros instead of always needing distros to be able to differentiate themselves from each other.
Uh - you realize they charge a PREMIUM and have some of the highest margins because they are FAR FAR more trusted than most android and other phone mfgs? You realize samsung is pumping ads directly to your handset - and these other folks never update their old devices.

So interesting to read the HN folks trashing apple relative to their competitors even though they are almost certainly a leader on almost every trust based metric that matters to the average user.

> 41% of residents spoke English moderately well

Do you know (or care to speculate) on how those eligible for this offer would compare to residents captured by the census?

e.g. Did lots of people arrive from the mainland post-97, who might drive down the average? Or perhaps those with overseas-british papers are older, and the younger generation speaks much more English? I don't know enough to guess.
Wouldn't that be great. :D

I mean, nowadays I am not very much into the "actually" arguments: I really don't deem it that important that older computers were better specialized for lower input lag. I just want that lower input lag back.

Complexity in modern machines and OS-es has grown too much. I feel a next Linux-like revolution might be coming that addresses this -- although this time around it would be much slower and gradual so it might not actually constitute a revolution per se. More like evolution.
In Europe quite a few "pirate parties" popped up about a decade ago. None of them were too successful as far as I know, at least in The Netherlands they didn't mention to gain a single seat (out of 150).
You can run, and with that platform your opponent will conveniently turn it around into "my opponent supports child molestors and terrorists". Because if you think you'll simply walk up to the podium talking about something most folks could not give a working definition for, boy, are you going to be in for a shock when your opponent "dumbs it down" for the audience.

Which is how we end up with stuff like the EARN IT Act that one would reasonably think would be shot down immediately, but isn't.
It seems to reduce the number of days spent in the hospital, which would save lives if hospitals are over-capacity. But only if given early.

So in theory it could save lives if it keeps Karen and Becky out of the ER.
We have bipartisan consensus[1] that tech companies have acted badly and that Section 230 should be repealed or significantly amended. I think EARN IT will probably kill Section 230, not strong encryption, so I think EARN IT is pretty great. Tech companies probably should be coming to the realization by now that it's only a matter of time (probably 4-8 years) before we close the 230 loophole: So if they're given a choice, they should choose to protect strong encryption, and forego Section 230 protection, since it's going away anyhow.

[1]Kind of, Democrats think tech companies got Trump elected, Republicans think tech companies are suppressing conservative viewpoints, but either way, they agree on the problem.
The upcoming generation can't even type, they grow up using cellphones instead of PCs. Of course it is.
