Fingerprinting can take care of the recompression problems.

Remuxing is a hard problem, as it can easily take people out of context, at the same time it's very important to summarize the videos, as people have limited time.

Right now what I see though is that Facebook/Google/Twitter aren't even trying to do the bare minimum end-to-end authentication that Whatsapp/Telegram/Signal already does (create a private key on the end devices, and sign the content to verify the authenticity of the publisher).

Requiring HTTPS was a great first step for tech companies to protect people and from ISPs. But they do nothing to protect people from themselves being compromised (the Twitter incident was a great proof for this).

I so agree with that last paragraph. I just saw a blank grid and was about to close it and comment about maybe posting an example image and then I realised that the animation slowly built up the image... Even then, though, I just wanted to see the end result not wait for the step by step.
It’s not trickle-down in the sense that people traditionally talk about trickle-down, since it’s explicitly conditional on hiring. And it’s keeping people employed at a cost of ~$224k per job, which presumably makes it far more expensive than providing aid to those people directly. http://economics.mit.edu/files/20094
Smt solvers and other 'old a.i.' workloads depend mainly on memory performance under unpredictably branching workloads, which the iPhone chips seem to be strong in. Compare that to 'new a.i.' workloads that eliminate branch misprediction almost entirely.
Funny. Your first sentence had me wondering whether you're south african. Then you followed up with lighting strikes :-) Agreed, I think your best option is fibre. A few Mikrotik's (reasonably priced) and SFP modules will work perfect for you. I think just getting your own splicing kit will make this easier for you and allow some experimentation.

Hey, we all know that this will not be the end of deep fakes. It will just another channel of information to think about. Now we have to care about whether this algorithm is correct, or maybe it is also manipulated by the other political party to claim that the others' picture is fake...

Is the comment about zig correct about its typing? It's certainly true about its compilation, but that's not the same thing. Also, if you're going to have a turing-complete compile time, you might as well have it in something that looks like a programming language, since that will fit your debugging mental model.
How to structure your writing.

Not talking about your style, prose or grammar, but how you structure the points you want to come across. It's not just useful in the context of "business writing", it's useful whenever you want something from someone else: to take an action of any kind.

I see it every week at work where people put a presentation together at first glance seems to be coherent, but if it had been written out as a document / memo, you'd easily see the gaps in their thinking. Forcing yourself to write out full sentences (not bullet points) into paragraphs and those paragraphs having a logical connection to each other, shines a spotlight on places where your thinking is weak or there are unfounded conclusions.

Here's the good news: there's one book that will teach you this thoroughly: Barbara Minto's - "The Pyramid Principle: Logic in Writing and Thinking". Bad news: the book is out of print, since the author wants people to either buy her courses or her updated textbook which she charges $150 for (not a typo): http://www.barbaraminto.com/textbook.html

The book is insanely useful, so find a used copy of the 1987 or 2002 edition in a used bookstore.

While I agree that you have influence over how you feel about things, I also think it's okay to quit and do something else when you are no longer interested in the subject.

This could mean a temporary break or more drastically, career altering. Many people have the power to shape their life, but they choose to keep going in one direction because of how much time they invested. Even when that direction no longer aligns with them.
Deep work time. I heard about it through an meditation app. I basically block four hours per week on my work calendar for a time when I don't take any meetings, turn off slack, email or anything else that might distracting and try to give my full attention to a problem or a project or reading a technical paper etc. This has helped me improve my knowledge over time and has improved my ability to focus on a problem for a limited amount of time.

Piercings, tattoos, unnatural hair colors and certain apparel commonly associated with "the left" - those are all tribal ornaments. They subvert or deconstruct nothing, they signal in-group/out-group membership.

In terms of a natural instinct for aesthetics, I would argue that tribal ornaments are in fact generally unpleasant, which makes them honest signals. Certain African tribes have ornamentations that are outright mutilations. Similarly, as the ornaments of an out-group get appropriated by broader society, its ornaments must become more extreme to achieve the desired effect (e.g. the rise of facial tattoos).

Furthermore, signaling society as a whole that you represent an out-group (and therefore a potential threat) confers various disadvantages, which also fits neatly into some oppression narrative that a proper leftist must endure.
Yes, also copy and clipboard integration. So many little uses. I can rename a file in the open dialog to ensure correct program behaviour, or forget where I saved something, open the save dialog again, and copy the file without needing to navigate with another program to the path. Note that the path is copyable in explorer dialogs, so I can copy it and navigate more easily with another program if that is still required.

I'm running KDE and it gets the open/save dialog just right, but every GTK program I run shows that barebones picker.
I am always amazed how the user experience of an iPad mini (~USD 400) is much better than a top end 13" Windows based notebook (~USD 2700). I know I am comparing apples with oranges in term of running processes and multitasking but the foreground app experience is much better.

I did that before switching to single display after having multiples from the first day of my career onwards. But I didn't even had to try. By the end, because of how my work and setup has evolved, the second display was switched off 99% of the time.

So when I have the choice I put the entire budget into an ever better single monitor, rather than splitting it.

iirc Apple intends to complete transition to Apple Silicon within three years (and they often tend to be conservative with their estimates) so I'd imagine the 2023 or 2024 mac pro will be interesting given (I'd assume) it won't have the thermal constraints an iPhone has. Thoughts?
How do you deal with FOMO? I don't particularly care about Facebook/Instagram updates but RSS/HN/Twitter have been vital in my learning process.

There is more benefits than just that, by restricting the possibilities you know there won't be unbounded loops, analysis and code review is easier (and infrastructure teams are often seriously lagging in this regard), it can be easier to maintain, update and test.

In some cases, you can have a project where this is seriously limiting though because you have some very complex and specific thing you need to express. For this you can use CDK. I would say both approach are complementary, not exclusive.

In my experience I would say nearly all infrastructure projects can be expressed as Terraform rather easily, but YMMV.

As a Chinese, I'm really tired of seeing such news being pushed to the frontpage of HN. Sure, the data big companies are collecting nowadays are concerning. But it's not specific to Chinese companies. Well, people may say they don't trust the Chinese government. How is the US government better? Has Snowden been forgotten already?

Endlessly selective criticism towards China make us think if people from other countries are just inclined to think that the CCP is evil, and so is China. As a result, everything that is connected to China is (especially) bad.

> Samantha Hoffman and Fergus Ryan, both experts on China at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute

As a patriotic Australian I'd like to give you all a friendly reminder about ASPI. While presenting themselves as an independent think tank for the Asia Pacific region they are anything but.

This organisation that pumps out news articles more than papers are entirely funded by companies and departments that need ever more war and security theatre to feed their budgets. Some of their biggest donors include Raytheon, BAE, Northrup Gunnman and the US department of state, not to mention the Australian department of defense. Ironically we only found out about the foreign funding due to electoral interference laws originally aimed at the Chinese, no one knew about this US funding until they were forced to disclose it.

How "independent" does that sound as a source for expert advice on a scale of one to ten?

For an organisation that supposedly has Australia's best interest at heart they somehow manage to constantly get everything wrong from Saddamm's imaginary weapons of mass destruction to our decades long involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, the rise of ISIS, the terrible materiel purchases that were billions more than they should be and protecting a man who proudly commits and boasts about extrajudicial murder in the Philippines.

Australian politicians across a wide political spectrum have voiced deep concerns about their influence and funding sources.

Does this sound like a group of people that really care about advancing Australia, or something else is at work?

I'm all for protecting data from overzealous evil companies, but you'll be waiting a very long time for these _independent_ national security specialists to say a single thing about the forty other apps on Australian phones sending sensitive data across the globe every minute.

If you wanted me to use and pay for your software, you'd need to provide the source. I have no problem paying for software - in fact when the price is fair I do so liberally.

However, if a copy of the source doesn't come with my purchase then I am much, much less likely to buy it. I'm obviously only one user, so take my anecdote with a grain of salt.

I use a model of "source-included" personally. This way I respect (most of) the freedom of my users, but not at my own expense.

I don't have a vetted license in mind tho. So far I haven't needed it. Someday hopefully I will ;-)

Side note: make sure you have build instructions for your users tho. I don't like when I buy software that is source included but then building is impossible because `make && make install` (or whatever for that platform) doesn't work and there aren't any instructions. You don't want your buyers to have remorse.

*Other side note: Thanks for thinking about this! It's really cool of you to think about community

People underestimate the capabilities of farmers, especially those that existed millennia before anyone could write.

But look at a picture of teosinte, and compare it to maize. Maize is emphatically not a natural plant; why should a plant grow appendages it's not strong enough to support? That shift in plant structure occurred over perhaps one or two millennia, and would have required extremely active selective breeding to occur.

Start poking at our plants' genomes, and the evidence for calling it genetic engineering is somewhat clearer. Our cereal crops basically suffer from plant equivalents to genetic conditions such as Down Syndrome. They shouldn't be able to survive, and indeed generally cannot survive without active management by humans. And being unable to survive without human intervention is common enough that we've given it a special name: domestication.

As has been pointed out in many posts to this thread, long before your post, there are still capabilities ULA offers that SpaceX doesn’t. That includes vertical integration, which SpaceX will develop but currently doesn’t have, and various fairing and launch site options. SpaceX has yet to achieve direct to GTO, and ULA have a better record of accurate insertion into the desired trajectory, that can be a big deal. ULA also has launch site options SpaceX doesn’t have, specifically while F9 can launch from Vandenburg, Heavy cant yet and the time and cost fir that might nit make economic sense

Finally there are some mission profiles even Falcon Heavy isn’t ideal for due to its RP1 fuelled upper stage. There are some missions where the extra Specific Impulse from a Hydrologist upper stage makes a difference.

So yes in the longer term many of these issues might be resolvable, but not all and this contract is for specific envisioned missions on a schedule and with known requirements, so nobody is making up numbers here. If it’s 60/40 there will be reasons for that.

This is a very sensible approach. One pro of having the checks automated instead of just having the developers check carefully their changes is that onboarding a new developer is easier, you will spend less time on very small and specific details and you won't forget to tell some detail.

It feels like to me there’s no good answer to this problem. If we don’t open schools there is two options that I can think of. One that a parent quits their job and stays home to care for the kids which is probably what most of the HN crowd can do, but more and more families require two incomes. The other option is the kids get sent to a day care or study pod that we don’t have the resources to inspect on the same basis as schools and the spread is worse. A part of me thinks we should open school for the younger ones, halve class size, require masks, introduce daily disinfecting, and have the older kids do distance learning but it seems too many schools have put off prep because they were sure that the virus would be gone.

For our daughter we are still up in the air on what to do and school begins in a week or two and they are doing distance learning for the first quarter of the year.

Note I am assuming kids can spread it as well as adults there may not conclusive evidence of this but it’s the safest assumption route to go down.

So the CDC say 0.7% as the best estimate, above even your highest 0.6% statement.

Until recently Cambridge had 0.9%, this has increased recently as more evidence has come out. Taking a 0.7% value would mean that 40% of Brooklyn has had it, a figure not backed by serological tests. Even is 100% of Brooklyn had has covid, that would give and IFR of nearly 0.3%
One situation where I've found it invaluable recently is Zoom standups.

In the US, when it’s school districts, state and federal governments paying for it, absolutely nobody who could build good platforms wants to touch that with a ten foot pole.

You get all the headaches of contracts and support agreements with government bodies as customers, all the headaches of oversight for a product that affects children, and none of the upside of a customer willing to pay a high price.

Governments are tragically slow to invest in infrastructure, and when they finally do it’s usually garbage built by a patchwork saga of contractors way over budget and behind schedule.
