I'm not so sure. Reddit skews young, yet the narrative there is that TikTok and the Chinese gov are just shy of evil. The iOS clipboard bug in particular has startled reddit into a wave of self-reinforcing "TikTok is spyware" stories and comments. A story like this one just reinforces that narrative, and I'm not sure there's any way TikTok is coming back from it.
A simple sorted bar chart would suffice and be more readable, in my opinion.
Briefcases were pretty dead by the 1990s weren't they?

I'm 43, I've never owned a brief case.

My father had them in the 80s.. but he had a laptop by around 1990 and the briefcase disappeared.

My father was an engineer and later manager in tech companies though, so maybe the briefcase hung around longer outside of the tech industry.

I don't think I've ever seen a briefcase in my career, which essentially started in 1996.
100% this. Maybe not everyone knows the specific function you’re looking for, but for the ones that know standard library APIs really well, that’s your hire.
What they call "cores" in CUDA is different from CPU cores. On GPU "cores" and "threads" refer to the ways in a SIMD ALU. Under this classification a 64 core CPU with AVX-256 like Threadripper is at least 512 cores. So 4K "CUDA cores" translates to 128 "CPU cores" when you are not doing massively parallel computations. 128 cores still is no joke but those are not Zen cores, unfortunately. On top of running off much lower clock (7nm GPUs are at ~2Ghz, 14nm is ~1Ghz) their IPC is nowhere close to that of a CPU, add advanced caches and memory controllers, branch prediction, speculative execution etc and CPU cores are much faster. A GPU will beat any CPU on a SIMD-friendly payload but it won't be any good for serving webpages or compiling code or doing any other task you cannot nicely lay out for a SIMD.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Cheaper to cover but you still need backhaul to the towers.
Honestly, we need both. In order to have a civil society, we can't have racists running around calling people the n-word and burning crosses on lawns, still less actually murdering people. That stuff is not acceptable, and we need very clearly to say (and enforce) that it's not acceptable.

But we also need to change peoples' hearts, so that they don't want to do that kind of stuff - so that they regard the "other" as fully human, just like they themselves are. As you say, destroying their life isn't the best way to do that. (Neither is nagging, lecturing, and berating people.) Then how do we do it? The only thing I know that can change peoples' hearts that way is the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Note well: I did not say going to church - it's not the same thing.)
I'd love to just have a physical kill switch for the camera/mic.

I think you are suffering from "I can't imagine how things could work differently because I only know how things work currently". Where I am located, on the coast of Ecuador, most land is collectively owned by the "comuna", or a group of local villagers. They sell temporary land-use permits (usufruct) but the land will always belong to the comuna. I can still build on it with the understanding that I would only pass it to my kin if both they and I were continuous inhabitants. The system is designed to promote community and agriculture and prevent speculative interest. From my vantage point the system is working quite well: many wonderful buildings and projects are springing up all over the place.
Interesting perspective. I always viewed the Sacramento Valley rice and nut crops to be some of the less objectionable activities, seeing as how that valley is knee-deep in water much of the year, and the depth to ground water in many places is less than a meter. But I'm sure every form of industrialized agriculture falls apart under enough scrutiny.
There's a search box at the bottom of most pages, and typing "green username" into it will answer your question.
I quite often accidentally turn on the camera without intending (usually because an app automatically turns it on) to. Having a cover prevents me from being embarrassed by an unexpected exposure.
In that case maybe generics aren't a compile time killer. (Although I'm quite curious how the OCaml compiler compiles so quickly).
FYI - your site crashed my graphics driver the first time I tried visiting it. The second time it completely froze my PC and I had to cold reboot. Is it graphic intensive or something? I'm using a relatively old desktop PC, but in all these years, I've never had a website do that to my PC before.
I'm using the latest FireFox with uBlock Origin btw - in case that helps you diagnose.
You can run multiple browser profiles, or use something like Firefox Containers to sidestep this pain point. I use my own profile on a hot seat shop PC, and every user has their own desktop shortcut, which directly opens the appropriate profile in the browser. I can be signed in to multiple different Google accounts simultaneously in this way. Signing out signs out for every Google account in that browser profile; adjacent browser profiles' sign-in state is not affected by signing out on first profile. Hope this helps.

I don't see how that fixes the problem; if you don't trust Apple to build in hardware safeguards around the camera indicator light, why would you trust them with a hardware switch?
There's some really cool programming language theory that makes things like type inference easier than you think. It's still hard but there's rules and math and stuff for all of it.
If you want to provide government aid to poor communities then by all means do it. But let's not pretend that welfare even approximates a solution to the problem. There is likely no solution.

Well... aside from letting go of past injustices and instead focusing on some better future. Which isn't really a solution at all since it relies on the permanent good will of all future generations.
In a country (the US) where more and more people have unlimited data plans, what does it even mean to evaluate the cost of "1GB"? My T-Mobile plan gives me unlimited mobile data almost everywhere I go in the world for long periods of time and is in practice quite fast. How does that compare to a service plan that only covers me inside one country? What about in a country as tiny as Israel?

Freemobile in France also has (had?) complex rules covering what kind of connection gets you what kind of data (3G vs 4G connections had different data caps) and the French extended notion of "country". What are the equivalent of DOM/TOM for mobile operators in non-colonial powers?
This is noble, but eventually a project like this will either die or be repurposed for a nefarious purpose (like harvesting email addresses).
Yeah, this kind of content/UI is definitely available on Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and probably Facebook.

YouTube and Twitch though seem to have some of the strongest "content creator" culture and are both still stuck in landscape videos and other sub-optimal phone UI.

This explanation would make more sense if Finland was as expensive as the US.
Yes, some of it seems oddly written.

On first reading, I thought this bit was the author reporting that other people are frustrated with TDF, and that this indicates that there is a problem:

« Frustration with how TDF markets and positions its 'product' (LibreOffice) against the ecosystem that contributes the majority of the coding work is at an all-time high. »

But I think actually this should be read as « We (Collabora) are more frustrated with the TDF than ever. »
How is this calculated? Because Finland is completely saturated in unlimited data plans and if you don't care for speed, you can get a relatively cheap plan.

Elisa (39% market share): unlimited 1 Mbps data for 9.90 euro a month (29.90 euro a month for 150 Mbps).

Telia (31% market share): unlimited 0.256 Mbps data for 7.90 euro a month (29.90 euro a month for 150 Mbps).

DNA (29% market share): unlimited 1 Mbps data for 12.90 euro a month (29.90 euro a month for 150 Mbps).

Moi (part of DNA these days, don't know if it's counted in their 29% or not): unlimited 100 Mbps for 18 euro a month (23 euro a month for 300 Mbps).

I think Moi might be the only operator that actually sells fixed data plans (6 euro a month for 4 GB at 100 Mbps). Everyone else just sells unlimited plans at varying levels of speed with the entry-level plans basically handicapped to basically email syncing only.

Also, apparently the average monthly data usage for a mobile plan in Finland is 34.3 GB (https://blog.telegeography.com/finns-lead-the-way-in-mobile-...). Probably not going to be hitting that at 0.256 Mbps.
I've been using LibreOffice for 15+ years with no issue, only times I remembered MS Office exists is when someone sends stuff in Office proprietary formats and no software wants to open them.
Ask HN: Best resources to learn about stock trading and investing?
When you search for courses on how to learn software development, there are tons of resources, meanwhile when you search for courses on how to stock trade and invest, only investopedia comes up.

What are some good resources (preferably video) which are not books, to learn these subjects?
For me personally it's just a lot of really heavy and very "meta" code that is really hard for me to reason about. I also touch it very rarely, so there's always a steep learning curve when I'm jumping back into it.
Ok I'm confused so can you please help me? My example was absolutely a "threat" in the sense that yes, I in that example would be serious about voicing my opinion and my intention to not voluntarily do business with that imaginary corporation while they employed that person. I would be "threatening" to do something which is entirely my freedom to do; to vote with my wallet.

But if I understand you correctly, this would be going outside my freedom of speech. Which implies that I do not have the choice to not do business with them. As in, I am obligated to purchase goods and services from them.

I am clearly misunderstanding this because that can't be right. Where did I go off track?
With a buffer overflow, you can write your own code into a chunk of memory that ends up being run by the application. In this case, since WhatsApp already had SMS read privileges as part of the signup auth flow, the attacker also had those privileges.

The article has some detail about the remote code execution part of this exploit.

“What this means is that there was a software flaw in the WhatsApp code for handling MP4 media files. If an attacker triggered the flaw, the function in question would crash in a way that could allow a potential attacker to gain “RCE” or Remote Code Execution.

In layman's terms, this means the attacker could inject his own code into the application and, by triggering the flaw, make the application to run with all the privileges and access of the WhatsApp application itself.”
If they are classified as employee's then they are by definition not contractors

So yes today Uber, as contractors, will not do that, the second the law requires them to be classified as employees then they will
I would hope not, but I'm sure there's lots of science fiction predicated on similar ideas.
All I want is messenger. Status seems to do way too much. I don't want a wallet, a browser or anything else (not even to mention that I don't know a single person on macos and barely anyone on iOS)
The Polymath Playbook
You’ve likely heard the saying: “A jack of all trades is a master of none.” It warns against the futility of pursuing too many disciplines. Be a specialist, or you’ll be nothing.

It may surprise you to learn there’s actually an extended version: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” With a subtle addition, its meaning becomes inverted to tout the benefits of being a polymath (a.k.a. generalist).

Why is the former so common, and the latter so unknown?

The answer lies in modern society’s preference for specialization. This essay explores how specialization limits workers’ freedom, how the polymath approach can offer a reprieve, and my own learnings exploring a multitude of pursuits.
I experienced this when I traveled to India, from Singapore. I paid about $7 USD for a whole month and I got about 1.5 GB of data everyday.

In Singapore, I paid $15 for 1GB a month. Beat that. It almost felt like daylight robbery when I returned.
I'm not sure if this is more or less of an issue with Apple covers than say ... anyone else.

It could be, but I wouldn't base it off just Apple having a warning about it.
That freedom, like many others, is limited. You may also be dismayed to find that you aren't free to tell someone that you will do business with her on the condition that she sleeps with you. This is quid pro quo harassment.
Yes, I think States as an entity have worth beyond the population (number) they contain. States embody a collective decision to form a cohesive institution of self governship. Your view appears to be that that decision should be diminished without the consent of those who made it. It is paramount to how the U.S. has successively cheated and stolen land and power from Native Americans. The right to locally self govern is important, maybe the most important aspect of this American experiment.
It is astonishing that we can't even agree that the photo is erotic.

Or that there's a meaningful difference between media you choose to consume for entertainment (which may be honest-to-goodness porn and that's _fine_) and irrelevant eroticism casually sprinkled in tech demos that don't explicitly involve sex.

I wish we could at least be real about the facts in evidence.
That's definitely not a UBI in the "universal" sense of the word.

One of the big advantages for UBI over all the needs-based systems is that it's flat and for everyone, so you aren't punished for working harder.

Think more like Alaska's APF than welfare.
But does that take health care and other benefits into account ?
Agreed, I was thinking that one possible solution to the first issue could be to have a layer immediately sent to the back upon being clicked.
I was always confused by this as well. Then I spoke to a person working in agriculture, apparently chemical fertilizers are cheap enough to make crop rotation redundant.
> You do have to consider that the US is a very large country consisting mostly of empty space.

With only three major carriers due to them all merging together.

> The prices are set so that you can use data in the middle of nowhere (or more realistically, along a freeway that runs through the middle of nowhere), or inside a large city.

Is that even the majority of use cases?

> but it doesn't seem like people would buy that plan.

If the pricing were similar to current plans, I doubt they would either.. but I also doubt the smaller carriers wouldn't be offering steep price competition in their particular markets.

I think the reason doesn't happen is because internet service is similarly monopolized in America, often by the same wireless companies, so even if you could stand a smaller carrier up, you would get crushed on the back-end by your competition.
Everytime it gets on the table you have a strong backlash from the industry though.
Might have something to do with the fact that coLinux is almost as old as Linux itself. I was surprised to see it on the front page of HN, it was an iffy solution back when it was a semi-viable option. Now that hardware-assisted VMs with very low overhead have been commonplace for a decade, it's pretty much completely obsolete.

Edit: I guess development on it started in 2004, it was only a few years later that hardware-assisted virtualization started becoming relatively mainstream.
It's pivot tables that made me buy MS Office. Neither Office.com nor LibreOffice Calc allow you to sort a pivot table by field values.
Even if true, do I have time to verify for all devices? A piece of tape is a piece of tape.
No disagreement that a separate, unrelated remote RCE would indeed be a remote RCE. This is still a tethered LPE.
While this is true that on Windows 64 the sizeof(long) is 4 while on 64-bit Linux it is 8, and while it may have been a problem for coLinux (I don't know how it was built, however I doubt it was with much MSVC anyway because the Linux codebase uses tons of GNUisms), and don't think it was very much relevant for WSL1 (they only had to implement the syscall APIs correctly), and probably even less so for the core of WSL2. WSL2 is basically a VM plus some integration bits (think kind of like your VMWare / Virtual Box integration tools) -- this may be tricky for the DirectX forwarding, but I'm not really following the recent devs and MS made it work already anyway (not upstream, but they have the code and they posted it on the LKML, so you can take a look at it) pretty much with a gigantic copy past of tons of data structures, so they somehow managed to handle that.

And I suspect it was not even too hard anyway: identify from which universe comes a type, then identify where you need compat, and use an explicit size to setup the typedef, and it's ok. Windows typically uses uppercase defined types like LONG, and Linux does not do that, so it's hard to mix up unintentionally.
Setting aside this project implementation, it is interesting to think about the current social movement in terms of an American Great Awakening:

Unfortunately, statements are intrinsically tied to their usage, as a natural result of the concept of context, and proponents govern usage. If I say "it's OK to be white" in some totally innocent way, and then suddenly realize that 90% of the people saying the same thing are using it to express hatred, I am not unprincipled or hypocritical to rescind, clarify, and find a different way to say what I was originally trying to say. This is unavoidable in communication and rational to account for.
> which is that each person writes down all their ideas in advance before sharing the list and discussing them in public

This sentiment has been echoed by other posters here and I believe it to be clutch. Generally speaking I loath any meeting that does not include an agenda/context so I can prepare for it(even if just mentally).
It'd be more useful for making comparisons to include a table or chart adjusted by the average income of the working class of each country.
I think you're both offensive for centering negative ("don't be"), male ("a dick") attributes in this discussion. We should instead be positive and also center female genitalia ("Be a cunt").

Also, I am offended that I wrote that, because it centers imperialist socially constructed genitalia syntax, and leaves out non-binary and trans-binary genitalia. I have therefore cancelled myself.
OpenLibreOffice.org Calc works close enough to Excel for me. Microsoft Excel is more polished clearly, so I'd use it, but I'm not going to figure out how to pay for it. In my experience, Google docs sheets doesn't work well with equations, if I update a cell that others depend on, those other cells don't always update, or update with significant delay, and it becomes difficult to use. (My equations are usually pretty simple, just sum this column, multiply by this cell, etc. One page financial sheets, not like tax return estimators with tons of hidden calculations behind the scenes)
The trillions weren't squandered for the thousands of defense contractors and suppliers that made fortunes off said wars. Its why they lobbied for them in the first place. Now a lot of warmongers profiteering off occupational imperialism are rolling in wealth courtesy of the US taxpayer.
Self-storage is the fastest growing/profitable bric and mortar business as well.

In Brazil the worker protections laws are very, VERY regid, and Uber is not bending them, what they do literally fits our legal definition of contract work.

That said... our laws get bent a lot, specially by tech companies, for example often I see offers for "Flexi" jobs, that is euphemism for registering the worker legally in one job, but paying him outside the legal framework for another job, this is obviously illegal, but is wildly popular, because our labor laws are waaaaaay too much.
I don't think I'm the one being shrill here. ;)

Unfortunately, your type of attitude is precisely the problem. You deny a problem exists, attack anyone who suggests fixing it, and resort to questioning character and intelligence.

I'm sorry that this topic is making you angry. But sometimes it's important to hear other voices. In your case, instead of making a wager, why don't you simply talk to some of your female friends. You don't need to "poll" them, just have a friendly conversation. Don't ask them whether they can "handle" it, but what they would prefer.

Your eyes might be opened.

I'm talking from actual diverse workplace experiences with issues like this. You don't appear to be, or else I don't think you'd be saying the things you are.
I would go a little further and say that short term economic benefits of existing entrenched players is causing harm. Its taking too long to get those people out and replaced with fresh minds who can look at the same systems and find new ways to make money while having a sustainable earth
This article twice references password.google.com, but AFAICT no such site exists. What are they actually talking about?
I actually agree with the grandparent post, and, I'd originally tried to explain why I thought your previous comment was kinda grandiose, but I kept writing snarky things so ultimately decided to pivot ; ).

And, I don't think I'm doing that other thing you're saying but am all ears if you feel that's the case.
