Oh? Then you didn't see me going off about the "Commons Clause" bullcrap.

For what it's worth, I'm a former member of the Board of Directors and V.P. Legal Affairs of the Apache Software Foundation, and I'm a music industry person who worked in a recording studio for 6 years before transitioning to tech.

It is philosophically consistent to defend attribution-based Open Source licenses and musicians' right to negotiate hard. In both cases, the rights of the creator are prioritized.

There were reports of possible spying on Merkel but considering Germany then sought entrance into the five eyes (a process currently underway) it seems there is likely a lot more than meets the eye there

With Trump's actions on TikTok, it really looks to me like a nationalist trade war involving everyone is on the horizon. Cyberspace, once seen as free and independent of geography and nation states, by people like Jerry Perry Barlow, is now being carved up and balkanized. Much different than the dreams we had in the 80s.

Just take the Giphy example. Most likely an API call to search for emoji. There are various ways to protect this (e.g. mixnets), but the whole point of the internet was effortless peer-to-peer transmission, permission less innovation, which in the 00s meant people collaborating and piecing together highly functional services by gluing together many service providers.

Now something as simple as adding an Emoji button to your keyboard can get you sanctioned in different jurisdictions. And the cost of overcoming this is too high for smaller players.

AWS, Azure, GCP, Microsoft and Google have the money to adapt. If they need to set up separate European operations and legal entities with "air-gapped"/"firewalled" data centers with respect to the US, they have the power to work around this, not many others do.

This just looks like to me like further entrenching their power. When GDPR first arrived, a lot of HN posts were speculating "this is the end of FAANG", and of course, mostly what happened was everyone got spammed with cookie popups, some small fines were paid, and business got more expensive for the mid-sizedfirms.
I disagree, no system created by humans is going it be without flaws. I think it should be possible to sue a company if a victim can show that the company was negligent in its actions. Damages should be apportioned between the scammers and the company on the basis of their contributions to the act.
Couple of things:

- It wasn't immediately obvious to me that modifying the UI on rddeck.com (by leaving subreddits) would actually modify my subscriptions on my account. There's a place for managing your subs in something like this, but it should be a lot more clear, and I think the main focus should be on the user customizing the UI without modifying their account

- The oblong pill loading bars at the top of each column look exactly like drag handles, and I was super confused why I couldn't rearrange the columns by dragging them. I think that making them drag handles would be useful, and reimplementing the loading bar as something else would be a good change.

- Dragging to rearrange the subreddit order is painfully janky in both safari and firefox for me on macOS. It's almost unusable.

- The subreddit sort order dropdown / active sort order implementation is strange. Simply having just the current sort order + a little chevron pointing down in a button would be much more intuitive.

If this was open source, I'd definitely be willing to contribute. Cool start, and a cool idea.
Sorry I don't follow HN closely enough to have noticed this.

I'll probably just pay the $10 to see for myself. Thanks!
Really great to the point article without any fluff. Lots of actionable insights.

The part about treating interviews as technical chats resonated the most with me and has been my personal experience as well - both as an interviewer and interviewee. If I'm going to hire you we are going to have such discussions every other week so its important how good we can collaborate.
Fine, I mistyped. I don't precisely need or desire additional spelling classes from a mysterious online person.
China has been able to maintain its civilization state and it has a continuous history.
I don't think this has anything to do with who the founders are. This is pure retaliation against China for not allowing US companies to operate there.

It is hard for me to feel bad for one Chinese company banned from operating in the US when China has banned thousands of US companies.

The founders of TikTok should blame Chinese government, it's 100% their fault that the US is retaliating. I am glad US is finally standing up to their unfair restrictions.
The article is self contradictory. not HN worthy.
Let me point out few anamolies.

1. Confuses CEO for an owner. (TATASteel is owned by Parsis, but CEO is brahmin, so this must be a symbol of brahmin supremacy).

2. Categorizes Muslim owner as Hindu Baniya (Wipro owner Premji's ancestor was ex-Baniya, so its Baniya supremacy that led to his success?).

3. Brahmin/Baniya Controls the media (the castes may be B/B, but the owners of 99% media are left leaning/communists)

4. Y.S Reddy is a peasant Christian. (reddy caste dont see themselves as neither peasants nor shudras). As per govt caste classification, Reddy is upper caste. so Y.S Reddy is upper caste christian.

5. Article gives an impression that Successful people are successful because of their caste. (Gandhi was a baniya, but he did not become Mahatma Gandhi because he was Baniya, he came the leader he was because of his charishma, non violence, ability to influence people, and british's inclination to encourage non violent struggle (instead of violent struggle)).

6. Conveniently Ignoring successful people from other castes.
(TATA (parent of TCS), Wipro, DrReddy labaratories, Suzlon, Heritage, Cognizant all are founded and run successfully by non-Brahmins, non-Baniyas, non-Hindus) if reddys/choudharys are poor peasants, why were they not featured as successful businessman ?

7. Ignoring failures of Brahmins/Baniya (Mukesh Ambani built a successful empire, while his brother Anil Ambani ran many successful business to the ground. Both are Baniyas. what makes you think being baniya helped one brother, but not the other?
Its almost as if, caste has no role in success of the business).

The article is written with an agenda, and the author never stopped to question her/his assumptions.
Probably a paid PR piece.
New Yorkers said the same thing about all southern rappers decades ago and now many of those artists and songs they panned are considered classics. Rap doesn't have to fit some narrowly defined category where all artists are doing the same style during a given period.

You can also like conscious rappers calling for social change and still enjoy a club banger asking women to shake their butts. They aren't diametrically opposed.
Stumbling around Google didn't find me much more info on this, do you have any citations or keywords I could follow up on?
The malware doesn't need to there "moment you need a signature". The malware can just grab an existing cookie or use an existing cookie. Sure it's not an enduring credential. But whether the malware is there at that moment or an hour later, it won't make much difference.

And this specific Twitter attack might not have needed enduring credentials. It seemed to happen over a short time period.
Don't use snap.
Mate, please seek help. This will eat you from within and you will suffer even more later. It pains me to imagine that. I also see your username is in the same vein as your message.

I migrated from urxvt to Alacritty a little less than six months ago, here are some reflections.

Despite all the talk about performance, I find urxvt to be more responsive. However, it is really not something that bothers me during day-to-day usage and I suspect that it will improve over time as urxvt is about as dead as it gets when it comes to a code base. I also ran into some font scaling issues across monitors [1], but I suspect urxvt gets around this mostly by being completely ignorant of things that have happened over the last 20 years.

[1]: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/3465

Some awesome parts on the side of Alacritty. The community is nice and responsive, documentation good, code modern, and configuring it is straightforward (auto reload upon file edit anyone?). Try getting fallback fonts to work properly with urxvt for example, that is what ultimately drove me away urxvt as the rendering issues I encountered with CJK fonts just drove me up the walls. The worst being somehow shifting the font size depending on whether a character was present in my Japanese font or not.

Bonus, I believe the following is sufficient to emulate the look and feel of urxvt in your `.alacritty.yml`:

window:
padding:
x: 2
y: 2
draw_bold_text_with_bright_colors: true

Lingayat's in Karnataka are richest and powerful political class. They are not peasant class.

Jat's see themselves has kshatriyas and not shudras.

My head is aching, the author could not even get basic facts right.
Selecting most definitely does not copy. It would be horrendous if it did.
Maybe the company remembers when it almost went bankrupt.

Maybe the know what technology will break out, but is not ready yet (autonomous cars, AR), and waiting to invest when the time comes.
I think from the name he is sad from the Greek side?
the novel is a different medium than casual conversation, it has proven to be much more sophisticated.
For example, you can have multiple narrators, diagetic and non diagetic. Etc.

If we expect novels to mimic nothing more than casual conversation, we lose a whole depth of creativity. While us readers lose sense making tools.

I believe new writers are gravitated towards present tense mainly because their cultural world is in present tense. I bet they are exposed to twitts, blogs, films, TV, etc much more than to novels.

So I believe they adopt the style of these media, because of naturalization via immersion. Even in the article, most answers of writers to why present tense, are 'it just happened' and then rationalized.

For me, it is another proof of the "medium is the message" theory. I believe we are losing thought technology.
This should be higher up - the latest is that Trump wants to ban it outright not allow a sale to a US buyer like Microsoft.
I think apple software updater can be uninstalled independent of itunes. Check add/remove programs

You might also be able to prevent it from running is you open task manager > startup
Also, don’t forget user/pass prompt in a URL.
You're right about those. But malware can be blocked by blocking support people from installing any new software. Cookie theft is indeed tricky to stop, but it's much harder to pull off than regular credential phishing, so blocking regular credential phishing is still a good win. And there are techniques to stop cookie theft (binding them to a non-bearer-token, such as channel ID, token binding, TLS client cert, IP address).

I'm not going to get into a debate, but Traditional Chinese characters are only really used in Hong Kong and Taiwan these days.
So many IT-professionals here; only very few actually sitting down and trying to understand the appeal of this thing.

And so strange to see that everyone assumes that TikTok can be taken apart by a competitor (Triller) paying top creators to shift platform and the rest will just go to Instagram or YouTube.

If you spend some time on TikTok you will notice that the experience is actually not orientated around top creators but is guided by algorithm that entertains you in personalised manner.

What you are seeing not necessary new, not necessary from someone within your social graph.

It is really is something quite different from older social media.
Trump Plans to Ban TikTok in the U.S.
Middle click to paste only pastes when you're clicking in a place you can type input, like a text box or the URL bar. Just places Ctrl-V will paste. Middle clicking links to open new tabs works perfectly, as do other uses of middle click, like closing browser tabs.
You answered your own question accidentally: side-channel attacks are not possible in this model of computation because everything is represented as addition and multiplication. The homomorphic ciphertext doesn't tell you when it's done, you sort of just do all the operations you're told and hand back the answer gaining no knowledge about the computation you just did.

That's not to say that a badly-designed usage of homomorphic computation can't introduce a timing channel, though. If there's a point in time where the result is handed back to the client, they inspect it, and then conditionally send more computations, you might be able to infer something with either the client's timing or if they happened to send back more computations or not. However, that assumes that we'd be able to trace multiple API requests associated with the same data set (as opposed to unrelated computations), and that we know enough about the computations we're being told to do to infer a timing channel from them. That's why I use the qualifying term "badly-designed", which in practice will probably be most uses of this technology.

Sampling addresses variance, not confounding factors.

If the sample is not representative of the broader population, then in no way will any amount of sampling correct that error.

Observational studies often involve quite large samples, but they remain unreliable because it is extremely difficult to address all possible confounding factors. Experimental intervention is the gold standard for a reason, and absent the ethical or practical impossibility of experimentation, should be used here.
I went from xterm to urxvt (which I used for many years), back to xterm, then to st to alacritty and finally settled on kitty, which I love.

kitty has TrueColor support, way more features than aclacritty (which seems to take a more minimalist approach, if I remember right, and this was one of the main reasons I switched from the latter to the former), and in my experience has been both extremely fast and extremely stable.

The only thing I really don't like about it is that it seems to copy continuously to the clipboard when I click and drag over some text, so pieces of that text end up cluttering my clipboard history (for which I use parcellite on Linux). The final selection when I finish moving my mouse and let go of my left mouse button works fine, as usual, so I'm willing to live with this... though I'd still prefer it not to copy anything to my clipboard until I've finished clicking and dragging and released my left mouse button.
> Async await scales well to codebases with millions of lines

Interesting - do you think there's a better solution than async-await for smaller codebases?
And so the march towards WW3 hastens..
Selecting in X absolutely does copy to the PRIMARY clipboard. Selecting then copying (e.g. with Ctrl-C) copies to the CLIPBOARD clipboard. Middle clicking pastes from the PRIMARY clipboard, and Ctrl-V pastes from the CLIPBOARD clipboard. It is incredibly useful, not horrendous.

Edit: and you yourself confusedly claimed selecting copies just an hour ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24017588
I'm going to have to disagree with the cover letter advice.

I'm sure there are people out there who appreciate well written cover letters. They are a tiny minority. How do I know this? Some years ago I started applying and would always type up a custom cover letter whenever a position allowed me to upload one.

Every time I got a call, I asked them if my cover letter played a role in their choosing to call me. The response was always "Oh you wrote a cover letter? Let me check it out."

Not one person had read it.

Not. One.

Those things take a while to write, and that time is better spent applying to more jobs. I quickly stopped writing them. Sorry, but unless you are getting a job via networking, it really is a numbers game.

If I were sending my resume to someone who I know is not a recruiter/HR, then I do take the time to write one. Otherwise, I don't.
the engineer’s second line probably isn’t so interested in playing comp 101 TA.
Those agreements do not guarantee anything on their own; they need enforcement by a human once slight is detected. And that leaves a non-zero chance that US is spying the data of foreigners going through their servers.

This is the hilarious part of American complaints over TikTok and China. It implicitly reveals the knowledge of such techniques used in practice (why is US fine with Facebook holding same position wrt. foreigners?)

EU would be wise to restrict American access to our information ecology. European Firewall can't come soon enough.
> I'd wager that Apple has been using AMD for something as mundane as offering better pricing, rather than disagreement 12 years ago. (Again: despite all the lawsuits, Apple is still a major Samsung customer.)

This used to be true, as Apple swapped between AMD and Nvidia chips several times in 2000-2015. Then Nvidia and Apple fell out, and Apple has not used Nvidia chips in new designs in 5 years - a timeframe in which Nvidia coincidentally achieved its largest technical advantages over AMD. Apple goes as far as to actively prevent Nvidia's own macOS eGPU driver from working on modern macOS. A simple pricing dispute does not appear to be a good explanation here.
How does the site know the user's OS is patched? The User Agent? How about whether security tools are running?

The attacker can surely use a patched OS. Are the security tools secret? If not, then the attacker can run the security tools too.
That's a lot of questions, but AFAIK it is not vulnerable to side channel analysis. That's why the author spent time on the database search use case; you must visit every row because you don't want an attacker to be able to segment your data at all. It would be possible to make trade-offs in that specific case, but cryptographic engineers are loathe to give the common programmer such a foot-gun.
> Are German and Swedish tourists really going to ignore that and book their winter escapes in Turkey?

Yes, yes they are, the same way they've always done.

Political issues count almost zero for the average tourist, and governments are not going to block flights or anything, just like they didn't do it when Russia invaded ucraine.
Do you not realize it was Xi and his propaganda that caused a massive change in opinion of the west? The state news agencies constantly blames everything on foreigners and the west.

It has nothing to do with financial crises or BLM or whatever. Financial crisis also happened in 2001 and 80's, they happen all the time. BLM protests are insignificant, US has protests constantly because they are not restricted by government.

Handling of COVID is bad, and most of us don't like Trump. But Xi's anti west propaganda is very real and influences all Chinese news and social media. Xi has massively ramped up rhetoric against the west and especially US. That is why majority of Chinese don't respect the US anymore.

You can see Xi saber rattling with US, building basesin South China Sea. Troop fights with India. Bullshit with Tibet Dali llama. Uighur re-education camps. Crackdown on Hong Kong. There's many more. This is why relations with US are going bad. Xi is pissing everyone off to drum up patriotism in China and make Chinese direct anger at foreigners instead of problems with Chinese government

I think Google is a victim of its promotion culture which over values new shiny things over well built super reliable things that do one thing really well.

Netflix takes streaming seriously. It’s always really smooth even on low powered devices. The Amazon app on our 5 year old Vizio TV still crashes after some use, so does the YouTube app. Netflix however is always responsive and doesn’t require restart.

No. Theft is still theft. The door could be wide open and someone that chooses to go on and steal is just as much a thief as the door breaker.

Should we blame women for dressing provocatively if they are raped? Should a murder victim be afforded less justice if they were walking around in a bad neighborhood? A crime isn’t a crime if the potential criminal chooses not to act. The ease of committing the crime should have no relevance. Someone doesn’t just accidentally walk into your unlocked house and steal a TV. It’s a choice and blaming the victim is simply wrong.
