The article is, as is usual for "nitwit 'expert' analyzing something happening online" is basically hyperventillating clickbait insinuating hysteria rather than anything remotely resembling analysis.

I told you what I did: I went to the local news sites on the map for my locality, and clicked on one of each. They were fine! I've used them both before when they turned up in organic search, and found them helpful for local news and events. It's insanely obvious they're partisan; you'd need a lobotomy to not notice this. I would rather that they weren't so partisan, but meanwhile, it's nice to know about local events and get some local news. I encourage you to do the same rather than uncritically regurgitating the nonsensical "news" -or, worse, parsing it into the insane conspiracy theory that FSB is behind the Maine Beacon's article on youth detention centers[1] or the NH Business daily's article on Don Bettencourt's political positions[2]. Your "interpretation" of my above statement is ... interesting, and rather ungenerous to say the least.

For wildlife watching in places like Siberia or Alaska this would be pretty cool. Fly to the middle of nowhere and camp in comfort. I wonder how often such a thing needs maintenance.
Actually SEV is meant to protect you against Google as an organisation (which would be the same thing as rogue administrators in this case). They don't mention it in the announcement but SEV is meant to be used with a little client side tool that does a remote attestation with the remote hardware. It handshakes with the firmware and you get back a hash as part of the VM boot process. You check that against an OS image you trust, and that's how you know what booted.

If you don't do this then it provides no protection. The host can break in by just telling you SEV is in use when it's really not.
Yeah, compile times can be rough!
One thing I wanted to add is that as another commenter mentioned it can be a very "sporadic" activity. But what's interesting is that the craziness of programming really only happens at certain points, then at other points its very focused as everything just sort of falls into place.

One thing I was trying to demonstrate to my coworker is that with experience you know where you're probably gonna go from the start but you still have to do all the same mundane bullshit regardless to start :)
The fact that Github is not sharing their side of the story is the very thing that people are complaining about.
"However, it should be noted that these processors will only be available as part of pre-built systems, and no corresponding consumer motherboards will be made available."

I'm pretty disappointed in this, but I suppose the market for such workstations leans more towards "large enterprise that needs reliability" than "hobbyist that needs low cost/likes to customize their rig."
Show HN: Macro – Customize your Zoom meeting interface
Hey folks! My name is John and I’m one of the creators of Macro (https://macro.io). We allow Zoom users to customize their meeting interface with different UI modes, real-time airtime visualization, and dynamically synced note-taking.

My co-founder Ankith and I both realized how unproductive most meetings were while working everywhere from startups to Fortune 500 companies. As engineers, we thought we could use technology to fix that. We started gathering data around meeting effectiveness last year using a Slack integration at over 250 companies and found that people were having the most problems in virtual meetings (and this was before COVID and before the entire world was WFH!). Specifically, people felt like their voice wasn’t heard and they were missing next steps (or the entire point of the meeting). They felt that video meetings were frankly getting in the way of work instead of augmenting it.

We decided in December 2019 that we should use these customer learnings to build a new video interface that would fix the biggest issues. Instead of reinventing the wheel, we chose to build on top of the new Zoom SDK so we could piggyback on the best audio / video infrastructure around. Our initial launch focuses on showing airtime distribution in real time, giving users the ability to take GDoc-synced notes directly from the Zoom UI, and allowing users to pick different video modes for different meetings (like a mode with small bubbles at the top to pair program or design on Figma together).

It’s our first day live to the public and we’re excited to share the product with HN without any recently popularized ‘exclusive waitlist’. You can check us out and download (macOS only at the moment) at https://macro.io or just see more on Product Hunt and TechCrunch. We’re a small company of 5 and we’re rapidly iterating on the product every week so we’d love any and all feedback from the HN community!
They claim to support, yet noone will guarantee it actually works. And no (big) OEM sells one. I don't mind waiting for official support from an OEM.
Did you read the page you linked? The very first sentence of the body of the page states:

>Harassment is a form of employment discrimination...

It goes on to say:

>Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.

They are defining harassment as requiring the behavior to be based on a protected class and categorizing it as a subset of discrimination. Therefore if a hostile environment requires harassment, it inherently requires discrimination.
Good point, the data is the key. There's of course the common crawl data now, doing some sort of that plus deltas of "current" likely could be a starting point. But also turning that into usable indices that can be returned in milliseconds is an art I'm sure.

My main point still stands though. How is there not anyone willing to take another shot at competing here, the world's love affair with Google is no doubt over. DuckDuckGo is relatively popular even though it doesn't seem to offer anything truly original in the search space.

A truly new way to search that helps fight the monopolistic search behavior would be very useful. It feels like something Mozilla foundation would be into if they didn't receive so much funding from Google.
What is unnecessarily complex about TypeScript? It's JavaScript, with static typing plus type inference, and pretty nice generics. The ecosystem of modern JS surrounding it is horribly complex but TypeScript itself seems like a fairly straightforward programming language.
Thanks. There's a recent video [0] out by Sean Carroll that delves more into the difference between SR and GR.

It's irrelevant. You can't audit those services because they're Google-proprietary software, and you aren't the ones with administrator access to them.

This stuff is new, so I think there's going to be a lot of confusion about what it means and how it works. But the basic concept is easy. SEV and SGX don't mean anything except that you can remotely audit a piece of software that's running by checking the hash of the code that was loaded, and that code can derive private encryption keys unavailable (in theory) to any other piece of software on the system, and that its memory is encrypted.

In SEV that piece of code is effectively the entire OS. In SGX it's a much smaller piece of code, more like a single shared library.

With a Google managed database system, you don't know what software it precisely is. These clouds aren't open source. Even the hypervisors aren't open source, as far as I know. Even when based on an open source product there are proprietary patches. And, they change constantly.

That means if your VM starts up and you get a hash back saying it's the OS you wanted to start, that's great, but the moment you open a connection to some other server even if it's all running on AMD hardware, all you get back is a hash and moreover (iirc with SEV) a random hash that's only useful if you're actually the one that started the remote VM. With SGX you get the actual code hash and/or code signing key, even if you didn't start it, which is a bit better.

What does that hash actually mean? Unless you can reproduce the build of whatever you're talking to and audit the code to look for back doors, and keep auditing it as it changes, it means basically nothing. That's why SGX focuses on really tiny pieces of code - less attack surface, but also less audit churn and easier reproducibility.

Ultimately to have guarantees your data is private in a cloud, you need either to audit the software stacks and rely on hardware roots of trust, or you can use clever forms of encryption like FHE. But just ticking a check box by itself does nothing at all.
I believe Gitea has two way syncing built in.
If US wanted to increase it's war with China to the levels of sanctions it has on Iran for example, then China would not be able to hold itself.

But they won't because China has nukes.
This article calls into question how closely you feel a sitting executive's campaign is to its government, but we have heard about it.

Tesla’s Chief Executive Elon Musk said this month the electric car manufacturer was close to making its cars capable of automated driving without any need for driver input, so-called Level 5 autonomy.

Yeah, right. Tesla has only Level 2 self-driving. They've never demonstrated Level 3 outside a video of a demo in Palo Alto. They wouldn't even let the press take a ride. Google/Waymo has hundreds of self-driving vehicles running around in test. Go to Mountain View and you'll probably see some. If Tesla had anything that really worked, they'd have enough test vehicles running around that it would be visible to the industry.

Waymo One is offering driverless rides in Phoenix AZ. Interestingly, they are now offering only autonomous rides - the "safety driver" is out, to prevent epidemic spread.
We get this feedback a lot actually - and we do plan to integrating bundle size (e.g. gzipped/uncompressed) into the product soon.

In terms of business model - we're actually thinking about paid promotion of packages: allowing maintainers (companies and individuals) to promote their packages, we found there's a big need for that. We want to limit it to a single (clearly marked) promoted package for each category. Obviously, we would just surface the promoted package, but the package reviews, insights, and metrics are obviously untouched.

Any thoughts on that approach?
My university let students put procmail files in their home directories to filter their incoming email. I created a .procmailrc file which set a DISPLAY env variable and then spawned an xterm process. That popped up a terminal on the machine I was sitting at with a shell on the mail server which had write access to every student's home directory.
From that page:

> Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.

So, yes, for it to be a hostile workplace under the laws you're talking about, it would need to be based on one of those aspects, not just because people disagree with her opinions.

> No, just the common understanding of autopilot for aircraft.

The autopilot for a aircraft does whatever it is supposed to do without human supervision. If you turn on keep heading, it will keep the heading (within physical limitations). I guess it is similar for a boat.

Lane assist, however, requires constant human supervision because it is just an assistant. I think this is the important difference that needs to be highlighted here.
Trying to lump Richard Spencer in with mainstream Republicans is like trying to lump in leaders of the radical black nationalist BLM organization or racist La Raza with mainstream Democrats.

Oh wait, Republicans routinely condemn Spencer and his white nationalist ilk while mainstream Democrats openly embrace BLM, La Raza and other race-centric organizations.

Looks like Democrats are really the ones openly embracing their "strange bedfellows"...
This is probably part of the reason why it's OEM-only. That way AMD can control where it's used, avoiding it competing with it's own EPYC server chips.
Yes, anybody who has used an autopilot on a boat or airplane will understand that they work exactly the same way the "autopilot" on a Tesla works. But that's not how the general public understand the word and so Tesla shouldn't have used it in advertising copy aimed at the general public.
One thing that I was surprised not to see in the post was how to deal with editing files that have secrets (such as API keys or email credentials).

When I set up OBS, I overlayed a full screen image that says I'm showing something secret which had nothing but a small webcam feed in the bottom right so folks could still see me but not my desktop. It was assigned to a global hotkey toggle of course.
The worst is when it doesn't fail signup, but URL-Decodes into a space in their data.
I modded a humble mid-sized subreddit, which was not an LGBT sub, but one where LGBT people occasionally asked LGBT-specific questions. My view of the situation initially was that conservative-minded peolle didn't really hate trans people and they were mostly frustrated by being forced to swallow an idea and being censored if they so much as asked an innocent question and that this is what was making them so upset. So I took a soft line.

It was a mistake out of touch with reality. The first thing I found is yes a fair amount of users really did just dislike transgender people. Second, a pattern I consistently saw was trans people making earnest honest sincere posts about real questions and EVERY thread somebody derailed the thread and made it into some culture wars BS. Upon getting their posts removed for derailing threads and starting shit they would proceed to start abusing the mods. Whereas the LGBT users would get upset over the former being tolerated yet were consistently polite, respectful, and their main way of protest was leaving the sub.

As time went on I realised that a lot of sentiment about "SJW bullies" was projection and that many anti-trans users were pathological in their harassment. That people don't really see how bad the problem is because the worst harassment gets removed and hidden from the regular userbase. The LGBT users were a minority largely trying to politely persuade the mods to make the sub better for people they cared about. Whereas the anti-trans users were entitled, attention-seeking, and self-victimizising. Sure there were some users with conservative views which were not like that. These people could be reasoned with if you simply explained the need for anti-harassment rules. Whereas taking a soft line ALWAYS meant people doing nothing wrong getting harassed for the benefit of mostly bad faith users.
«Bitcoin does not»

This statement betrays you have not paid attention to the numerous improvements made to the Bitcoin infrastructure over the last 11 years: wallets, nodes, exchanges, payment processors, vaults, blockchain upgrades, basically all the BIPs https://github.com/bitcoin/bips : segwit, P2SH, lightning, M-of-N keys, deterministic wallets, etc. Using Bitcoin in 2020 is nothing at all like it was in 2009.
I disagree that "Hundreds of hyper-conservative sites masquerading as local news" as a title would imply that this phenomena is only a conservative one. I think you're adding the "only" part on your own, in your own reading of it.

Not really sure what the last part of your comment even means.
Well, those that read the article, perhaps. Which would be...nobody?

Negotiation-as-a-Service
Okay, just going off of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower#Family_ba...

- conn a ship: It mentions no naval career. It does mention fishing, so there is a decent probability that he could handle a canoe. But if that is the standard for "conn a ship", then this whole argument is basically just "people should have hobbies" which...okay sure. And they already do.

- design a building: No mention of this. He attended West Point, which is also an engineering school, but that is very weak evidence. I went to MIT and the only building design I've ever done is that of a shed. Again, people should have hobbies.

- write a sonnet: Google searches for "poetry by Dwight D Eisenhower", "Ike sonnet", "Eisenhower Sonnet", and "Sonnet by Eisenhower" do not turn up anything. Maybe he wrote poetry to his wife, but we have no evidence of it. Again, people should have hobbies.

- balance accounts: I'm happy to just assume this to be true as part of his career's focus in being able to organize troops.

- butcher a hog: His father worked as a railroad mechanic and then at a creamery. They were not wealthy. There's no mention of his working in agriculture. He did like hunting, so its totally plausable that he could dress a deer. But he didn't work on a farm or in a slaughterhouse or meat-packing plant. Why would someone who owned pigs waste the meat/time/money to teach someone how to slaughter them as even a hobby?

- set a bone: Plausable, but I see a number of sports-related leg injuries.

- program a 1973-era computer: He died in 1969

I could go and try to research this more thoroughly, but it is hard to prove a negative and time is a global variable.

Microsoft security advisory – Windows DNS Server RCE CVE 2020-1350
Why not charge the maintainers themselves to advertise validation by your brand (once you have established that trusted brand)?

I mean, I see that you are attacking this problem from the analysis and search perspective, which is great and well needed, but there is an intersecting need for security validation and preventing malicious package updates. There is more liability that way, but imo there is greater incentive for enterprise customers and/or maintainers to pay for packages you distribute.
Steve Blank: What Can a Startup Do in Five Days? Watch This
Yes. I've always studied the history of Cuba extensively so. Before the Cuban revolution Cuba was essentially a shell of a country.

The sanctions and embargo that is still on going to Cuba is choking their economy and recovery to the global stage.

It also doesn't help that they were used as a proxy by the US and USSR.
I would have agreed with you 5 years ago. Unfortunately pretty much every article in the FT has become politically motivated, following very much the NYT's "only the facts that fit the narrative". The FT is openly running campaigns on many topics, and then you aren't reading news, you are reading propaganda.

The editor changed in January, I unsubscribed a month before. Perhaps things have changed since.
There are those nerds who grew up bullied, ostracized by everybody. Where the ones at work remind us of those bullies. Where there's some common thread between "engineers, developers, and data scientists" that respects hard work, and rejects blowhards. Something along this crowd that's compelled to accept the meekest and quietest of all, and as equals. The font this comment is written in as the same as from `pg` or `dang`. There's a broader, quieter culture that thrives on listening to the substance of people.

And then are those "nerds" who did the bullying.
Are these quotes from something? I don't see these in the OP. I don't understand the "boosting" that you're referring to either.
I've been saying somewhat similar things lately. Although, I do believe some worthwhile outlets exist.

But, do you believe this is a new problem? Was it always bad to trust outlets?
When I was in my late teens/early 20s it happened to me a few times. It felt very similar to what you described except my thoughts were not as clear. Each time I closed my eyes I would be back in a dream. Finally I figured out I could turn on my TV if my remote was close and the noise snapped me out of it. It would take me forever to move my hand to the remote at my side.
Depending on your needs, compromise on GPU and use SSD instead HDD.

Take GPU like this one RX 570 https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-570-100412p4gitxl/...

it's still good enough for many games, for me it's fine even with The Witcher 3, sure, not the top tier, but I also looked for energy efficient PC. As low energy Ryzens are hard to get, I took 5 3600 and compromised on GPU, storage and mobo.
Nail polish should work quite well.
256 GiB is also supposedly a bit of a low ceiling for serious 4K video work, never mind 8K (please forgive the not-prestigious source): https://youtu.be/1LaKH5etJoE?t=926 I wouldn’t be astonished (not an expert) if unhappiness from video professionals was an important reason behind the release of the Pro.
With regards to commits, I think it’s better to _not_ worry about making them nice. I think time is better spent making the PR description clear.

Make as many commits as you want, just “Squash and merge” at the end using your pull request body for the commit message.
Bari Weiss doesn't realize it, but she's painting an accurate picture of herself here.
> There is, however, a pretty big gulf between the stuff the US has done and engaging in ethnic cleansing and running concentration camps as a matter of policy.

A big gulf. Hmm. A big gulf. Umm, maybe you mean the Gulf of Aden? That's kind of big, and it's right near where the US participating and supporting the ethnic-cleansing-level siege and bombardment of Yemen by Saudi Arabia.

Remember most states of the US were founded on ethnic cleansing. The US supported Pol Pot, a notorious cleanser (although more of a self-ethnic-cleansing); it carried out mass bombing and poisoning campaigns in the same region of SE Asia, which constitute ethnic cleansing; it starved out the Iraqi people for years, which is borderline ethnic cleansing; it's doing the same to Venezuela right now; it supports Israel, an ethnic/religious-supremacy state held up by keeping the indigenous people of the country outside of it, as refugees - to ensure a demographic majority for the privileged group; it has supported Myanmar/Burma, while it ethnically cleanses the Rohingya; it has supported and still occasionally supports Sunni fundamentalists who aim to cleanse non-Muslims, Shia etc.

As for concentration camps - the US is infamous for its concentration camps. Mostly in countries it occupies, but also for a significant fraction of its citizenry - over 1% if I'm not mistaken. They're more class-based than strictly race-based, but still.
But it's not how people save. The average person has too many expenses and not enough income at age 22 to save up as at age 45. And in those later years, the returns diminish.

Sure, if you have sufficient income to be able to save up enough for retirement just as soon as you get a job, that works. But that's not the reality for the average person. Most people don't get a high-paying job straight out of school.
