I built something like this 7 years ago, it's called Hands Free for Chrome, a now languishing project that I lost interest in a long time ago, unfortunately. It made the top 10 of HN back then though! My site's design is not nearly as nice as yours.

https://www.handsfreechrome.com/

I just didn't get enough users or support to really care about it. But I wish you the best. It was an exciting thing to build and using it always felt futuristic to me.

This is just so fascinating though. It's like seeing what could have been if I had been a better developer and found the dedication to really stick to the project in the longterm.

Edit: I see we had the exact same idea! Your "tag" is my "map." Love it. One big difference is that mine was just a free project. I'd be super interested to know how many users you've got. I never had more than ~1100. From looking through your website mine was a much less intensive project. (Oh, CWS says 4000+ for you....wow, wonder how many are paid.)

Edit2: Looking over your update history is almost nostalgic. "Fixed issue with overlapping commands -- delaying commands that are partial matches of other commands." Had to do the exact same thing!

Edit3: We have so many overlapping command names that I wonder if you took inspiration from my project, almost. Either that or it's just a case of convergent evolution.

Edit4: Suggestion for dictation: a way to alternate between a special character and actually writing the word. Doesn't look like there's a way to do ^ vs carrot or & vs ampersand. Something like "Enter special character caret". Maybe you already have a plugin for this though, idk.

Edit5: God, this is so well architected! plugins and contexts are just fantastic ideas for this domain. Click by voice using hidden search-for-text is also a perfect solution to that problem. I wonder if this could be made more intelligent, i.e. "Click Submit in the sidebar on the left"-- challenging though.

Edit6: Wow, just noticed someone else built something called "Handsfree for Web" somewhere along the way and theirs is ALSO way better than what I had built. Geez. Starting to feel bad about my awful website.
Friend of mine bought a house in late 2009. She said the foreclosed houses you could actually buy were hot garbage. All the decent properties were being sold as quid pro quo deals between insiders. Point: Businesses and stockholders don't have agency, employees and executives do.
I see how my comment may be comfusing to you so let me explain what I had in mind: those conspiracy channels are flooded with crap that is fabricated in russian propaganda and misinformation labs or by white extremists or ehat not. I think it could be relatively easy to flood those channels with non-misinformation, very easily digestible news and information that is written simple for the lowest common denominator. It could make a positive difference imo
It’s a little more nuanced than that. Lawyers have ethical obligations to provide sound legal advice and counseling, whether they’re paid for it or not. As in, the legal ethics structure doesn’t really allow for (purposely and knowingly) doing a shoddy job. The lawyer could be on the hook for either doing a bunch of free work or getting disbarred by signing up to do a ‘bare minimum’ job. Maybe there should be a carve out for situations like this.
Shit + Option gives you the extra debug option that option + click does not.
There are currently so many vulnerabilities in Apple devices that their market value is rather low. Android exploits are currently worth more because they are harder to come by.

> Limiting blast radius, for example. Why does your threat model include the possibility of one of your applications being compromised and using its credentials to do desired things to other applications? That implies your programs are buggy. And clearly, your programs aren't buggy; you're using best practices. How could they be?

I find that a lot these "defence in depth" style policies end up muddling where the actually important boundaries are. You get people slapping on a "security" layer everywhere because "it can't hurt", but then people don't worry about bypassing those layers either because "that part is just in case, it doesn't have to be 100% secure" and then the holes in your Swiss cheese line up and you get hacked.

Realistically you have a budget for how much effort people are willing to put into understanding your security systems and you need to spend it where it will do the most good. For most organisations that means a clear, centralised access control model that the rest of your systems trust to do its job, and no ad-hoc mitigation measures.
Hmmm.
I know a thing or two about mobile devices and my best advice is to avoid installing ANY third-party applications, especially any “security/antivirus” apps that request dangerous permissions in order to break out of their sandbox.

I have examined several antivirus apps from well-known security companies and they ALL cause more privacy/security issues than most malware does.

Third party advertising SDK’s that harvests the users location and social media data, accessing WhatsApp internal databases, access the users microphone, clipboard and camera.

But to be fair I have never looked at the app you mentioned but I have my doubts.
I was a small fry. But every investor had their mortgage broker and real estate agent on deck to help them make deals.
Nobody gives a crap about phone AR. And of those who play games the vast majority play games that don't need performance.
Thanks, how'd you find that? I had a hard time finding a web version at all.
Is this a lemon market? If I’m sure I’ll use my $200k wisely I’ll self select out and get a second mortgage for 3% or whatever. Leaving the riskier people to come to you?

Big discussion 2 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24075855
Based on what you had written I was assuming that you had not experienced major trauma. The questions were intended more to point out ways that someone could be 33, or significantly younger, and have major trauma and were not intended to get specifics about the trauma you suffered. I am well aware that young people can suffer major trauma and this was clearly not the best way to get my point across.

I'm glad that you were able to get better but not everyone can. Your anecdote doesn't invalidate my point. If you lived long enough, statistically you'd be extremely likely to suffer from a major trauma that you would not recover from.
> Easy enough for grandma, maybe not so much.

This is pretty important when we're taking about a billion devices. The amount of people who do this is irrelevant and thus 99% or more of these users will be vulnerable until their phone stops working or the Facebook app no longer supports such an old version, forcing them to get a new one [assuming new Snapdragon chips fix the issue].
weird, works fine on firefox 78 (haven't updated yet)
Whats wrong with deep speech?
how disgusting
Time will tell if this works out for me, but lately I’ve been explaining the risk to the developers’ manager, that I wouldn’t do this, but if they assume the risk that I’ll do what they ask. I figure eventually we’ll get compromised and/or some misbehaving app will take down production and then people will pay attention.

Space Force was okay, but I really hope it improves in Season 2. I had just finished The Office before it so was really itching to see more stuff by Steve Carrell.

These days watching Gilmore Girls. I totally agree with watching chills shows to unwind, feels good.
Still no Widevine crack/emulation after all the Intel CPU bugs?
Legit sounds like the person you are replying to is having a personal, visceral reaction to the results of this experiment compared to the results of (themselves or) others.

As a complete outsider, I say scale it out rather than complain! I eat chapati every day, so I am biased towards wanting success to occur.

It is always possible that endeavors will fail.

Is there any algorithms involved, or is it just ranked the same for everyone, and ordered by most ranks?
Yeah this is what I do 98% of the time. I'm usually not taking a bunch of screen shots. Just 1 or 2, usually because copy/paste from slack is such a PITA
Current State of Vaccine Science
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfnJi7yLKgE

Summary of 'science':

- People who take vaccines have a 1 in 40 chance of having a serious injury.

- Vaccines cause brain injury in 1 in 300 people.

- Vaccines are not placebo tested.

- Small pox vaccine is not what it is made out to be.

-Vaccine scientist have been ordered to fake the science.

- 100 people will have to receive the flu shot to prevent the flu in 1 person.

- The person taking the flu vaccine becomes a transmitter of flu

- A person taking taking the flue vaccine makes you vulnerable to other respiratory illnesses, including corona viruses.
Any reason why sysbox is only supported on Ubuntu and not say RHEL / CentOS / Fedora?
No need to speculate, just need to try :) Everyone just needs to share their results and let the risk takers and builders do what they do best. If they fail, in this scenario, the only thing wasted are time and money, and the only thing gained is knowledge.
Do wedding sites count? It seem like lots of people make wedding websites now-a-days.
I wasn’t clear. The employees have returned to work. They are working less than full time hours in order to show diminished earnings and receive the $600 unemployment boost. They are receiving 80-90% of their normal wages from their employer and receiving unemployment benefits in addition to that.

What resources would people recommend to a software developer who wants to understand more about hardware at this level?

How can I go from only knowing the basics to being able to reverse-engineer a schematic from a die photo, as in this article and this recent tweet [0]?

so awesome for renaming photos.
Possibly a first evolutionary step to becoming an internal parasite.
I saw it myself. Fedora user, I've been using it for HBO Max for less than a month. Then POOF, it no longer works.

Really poor handling of the situation, IMHO. You just get a message about 'Not able to play this video now, try again later.' Finding tech support contact links isn't easy. Per Reddit, if you do get ahold of them, they just brush you off.

Overall a very poor user experience. Boo.
At the moment it's just the same for everyone.
China is now blocking all encrypted HTTPS traffic that uses TLS 1.3 and ESNI
Pay for delete is a reference to the credit reporting agencies. Basically, you pay the debt collector only if they agree to remove the negative mark from your credit report. Without it you would still have the delinquency showing up on your credit report until it became old enough to drop off (I believe this takes seven years).
Engineering wise, it's a miracle that UPI works. All of the banks have very little in the way of consistency checks and proper abstractions. Everything is superglued together and very brittle. There was clearly little direct communication between NPCI, the issuing banks, and the users of the apis in development.

I agree with India's protectionist attitudes that's kept Western companies from monopolizing the ecosystem though. It works well enough, much to chagrin of SV tech companies lol.
Incentive at scale is the problem. Incentives must taper off to make real estate / property investment less inviting the more is owned, this opening it up to more people at the lower levels.

But then will start the games of complicated / opaque business ownership structures allowing for individuals to own lots of real estate through different channels to make it look like it's separate entities.

And there is zero motivation from most of the world's leadership to clean up business ownership structure transparency because so many of them are ... participants.
>Smart or less smart makes no difference in rational behavior.

What does "smart" mean then? You write like everyone knows what the definitions are of the words you use, but the way you use them makes it clear that they all need to be defined before any understanding could happen.

I am completely apathetic about expert opinion and "studies" when I get a glimpse of some sort of community that just assumes everybody agrees on axioms and definitions.
I don't follow your meaning. Could you explain more?
My wedding website was fun to build! https://andi-and-seandon.com
From my understanding, it's relatively well known how to break Widevine L3, but nobody wants to release code (for obvious reasons). Widevine L1 is much better secured, as it's required to be implemented in hardware.
If a low-information voter is having to face criticism for supporting a particular candidate, I can imagine it would be appealing to be presented with a story saying that the candidate in question is secretly dismantling a global ring of child traffickers. It's a way to reconcile cognitive dissonance and make them feel like they made the right decision.

I could think of a few designs that would fight the flooding problem actually
Flat has some legs based on visual complexity. Our eyes are great are recognizing shapes. Where things go wrong is everything being flat. I like material design’s use of shadow to communicate depth.

But I agree, some teams take it too far.
One of the first things this article lists is enabling Huawei screen capture and record. This is overall an unserious guide and of questionable provenance at best. Doesn't belong on HN.
I think you're massively exaggerating the stability of running unsupported versions of Android on old devices.

> and literally any 10 year old android phone can run not just the latest security patches but even the latest android.

Not in my experience. Some models work decently, others have major stability issues.
Low-cost measurement of facemask efficacy for filtering expelled droplets
FWIW, the few times someone tried to send me money via Zelle, it’s been a mess.

Wherever email they sent was caught in GMail’s filters, so I never saw it. And you have to click a link to accept the payment, even from an established contact who’s sent funds previously. And after a bit the funds get returned. Too easy to lose money.

Instead, I just ask friends to use Square Cash. Auto-deposits into my bank account so there’s nothing to worry about.

Also, higher value payments are still easiest via check - since the online payment services will threaten to suspend your account if they think you’re running a business. Splitting rent amongst roommates was enough to get one of my accounts flagged as a business.
Does modern debt actually die with you? I think creditors can sue your estate.
Make IAM part of the design of the application. If you need to use AWS API calls, then you need your app's design architecture docs (you have those right?) to list the IAM permissions needed to do each thing, and stuff that info into ADRs, and link to some IaC that you used to stand up your dev/test environment. All of this creates 1) formal IaC used to apply the permissions, 2) formal documentation of what functions need what permissions. As a final step during development, write tests that verify the IAM permissions are as expected.

You will of course need some way to scale this later, but as long as an artifact of your build pipeline is auto-generated IAM policy jsons, an org-wide security team can analyze them with automated tools and remediate as needed.
Nothing is swipeable here.
It sounds like it's saying "ozone kills the tougher bacteria than Covid at a very high rate".

So directly it says absolutely nothing about Covid but implicitly it does seem to state that it should also kill Covid since it's less tough to kill than the vegetative bacteria. I guess they can't make that statement directly--there's no evidence related to Covid here. I'd ignore it.
Most things you can do with a custom ASIC chip you can do with an FPGA, except with slower clock speeds. High speed signal processing, massive parallel designs, custom anything pretty much. You can (and often do) even have processors inside the FPGA running software. Some real world applications include a lot of video encoding and processing, cellular stuff, electronic warfare and radar applications, self driving cars, and other high bandwidth and high speed custom data processing. Basically if you need a custom chip but don't need 10 million of them, FPGAs are a good choice.
Bill Burr has a bit where he talks about Steve Jobs eating "some kind of pretentious fruit, like a pear." Life imitating art I guess.
For anyone curious about this, I highly recommend developing on CMU Sphinx for a weekend project. It will really paint some pictures about machine interpretation based on training data and the actual application code.
My guess would be 1984, since it's a transposition away from what was printed and there's also a link back to a table of contents that says 1984.
You’d think that, but Friday I just helped a dev team deploy a Lambda function that had full capability to update any Lambda in the account. The devs didn’t know anything about how the app worked, since it was a drive-by from the architect. He, in turn, just grabbed an AWS blog post, confirmed that it worked in his personal account, and called it a day.

Also, since the devs don’t know IAM, every resource request is a wild card. A function compromise would allow deployment of a new function that could extract every SSM secret, Cognito identity, and S3 object.
Heh Heh Heh.

Common movie trope: The Protagonist, swallowed whole, heroically cuts their way out of the monsters' gullet.

Reality: The Protagonist, swallowed whole, holds their breath and tickles the monsters sphincter from the inside...

Doesn't have the same ring to it. ;)
I have never seen a compliance team make the choice to just break production unless they (and by proxy you) are in hot water with auditors.
Ha.. fiction becomes real. In the iCarly/Victorious/et al (Dan Schnider) universes the kids all use PearPads, and all the technology they use is Pear branded as an obvious Apple reference...

Ask HN: Tools to do GIF screen recording
I'm on Mac, and it's been a while since I tried it. Just trying it out with the built-in screen record + iMovie produces ~500Mb for 2min video, and no easy way to make a Git from it. Is there a tool to produce a reasonable size (shareable) Gif from screen record? Ideally with some simple things like trim, zoom in, speed adjust, etc.
I’ve seen this with most cross platform apps - like Slack and Skype.

What I found you can do instead is use Cmd-C to copy it and then paste it into the app. That generally works.
None of this is necessary for non-healthcare workers, since the virus will die off on a fabric mask in a few hours.

1) Not a single study has demonstrated that viable Sars-Cov-2 virus survives on porous materials in the real world

2) Even before Covid, it was known for decades (common medical knowledge) that human coronaviruses and flu viruses do not remain viable on porous materials for more than several hours.

That this common knowledge is not so common knowledge among the public is a failure of public health communication. The one or two alarmist studies showing that the virus "survives" X number of days don't reflect the real world because 1) the researchers literally directly douse or soak the surface with a huge viral load, and 2) the researchers usually only look for viral genetic material, not whether the virus can infect cells. Viability != detecting viral genetic material (same story for people - we shed viral genetic material long after we stop being contagious).

There is a reason the CDC has always said surface transmission is rare: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/22/health/cdc-coronavirus-to... there have been no documented cases of surface transmission: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-si... Fortunately some in the media are catching on to the hygiene (security) theater: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/07/scourge-hy...

Most studies use unrealistic starting doses: https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/laninf/PIIS1473-3099...

Other human coronaviruses don't survive long on porous surfaces (gone by 6 hours): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7134510/. A hospital randomly collected patient and real surface swabs (including non-porous surfaces) for original SARS, a minority were PCR positive, none of the swabs were infectious (viral culture): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7134510/. Same story for flu (virus can be detected for days, but inactive and not viable after a few hours): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3222642/.

I could only find this study on Sars-Cov-2 that cultured the virus (still used a huge viral dose in a lab setting, not the real world). Even though they were able to culture the virus, only 1% of virus remains after 6 hours on a surgical mask, several orders of magnitude less for cotton clothing: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.07.20094805v...

This long post was originally meant to be a reply to someone asking for a citation; it's yet another example of how much effort is required to combat misinformation.
Right, it should still be possible to statically type it for the purpose of testing. Wouldn't really be close to practical usage but I'd still be interested in seeing how it compares.
I was not "triggered", but it stood out to me and bothered me, as well — I thought that the it was ill-used, and undermined you rhetorically. It's too horrific and overbearing a word to be used for most metaphors, overpowering whatever it gets attached to.
