kind of a classic traditional move no?
Fun fact, both myself and my step-father were taught by Norman Wills, or Willsy as he was (obviously) nicknamed. A nice guy, he used to get pranked mercilessly by the kids. His classroom was on the top floor of the school's "tower" (actually a glorified office block) and legend has it that one student took a pair of gloves, trapped them under the closed window, then exclaimed that "So and so has just fallen out of the window!". Willsy came screaming over, panicking, only for the whole class to dissolve in laughter.

Poor guy, they and we were such a-holes.

He never did shut up talking about woad, though.

> I'd actually buy a cheap Chinese electric car.

No you wouldn't, just buy a Chinese scooter (sub $1500) and see how much of a headache their electronics are on something you need for transportation. They make EV ones, too, which would probably be the best gauge with its limited range.

Its a horrible experience, they honestly have no QA/QC to speak of in their vehicle division(s) they just build and ship them like that in masse, its so wasteful as they will most likely end up in a landfill when problems arise as they're priced at near disposable level.

They may have processors and subsequently phone's down, but the amount of errors on an EV would make me want to drive the thing into a wall.

As for the Tesla stock price, I think its pretty high given where they are in terms of CURRENT scale. I put a deposit down for a Cybertruck knowing full well its QA-QC won't be sorted until 1-3 years after the release as its an entire new chassis, but those funds help make that happens and even in the interim they're pretty good about repairs/returns provided they can get the parts for them.

Its stock price is am indication of just another way to park hot money in the economy, at least its going into something of actual value and helping the environment rather than inflating another commodities bubbles that fomented war and revolution all of the World, as we saw in 2008.

It may not be rationale given the constraints of their CURRENT production capacity, but their Manufacturing presence in 3 different continents and their supercharger network alone didn't seemed priced in with its stock at below $500 in my opinion.

I told people to buy more during the 'Bankwupt' joke at mid 200s, Elon is a total troll Online/Twitter but I've been in the Auto Industry for quite some time and went to Interview several times at the factory in Fremont and they are not a car company, they seem more like an Electrical/Battery manufacturer that uses cars to sell its core product(s). The guys I met with in the Supply Chain are the real deal, once the constraints of Model 3 lines and ramp up happened what they undertook was nothing short of immense.

I hope the guys at the factory are slowly cashing out some of their positions as the Manufacturing guys are not paid very well and this money after the shut down is probably needed.
He actually tried to buy the precusor to TikTok in 2017, but did not go through with it because he didn't want to have to give data to the CCP.
It's "size of golfball" hail that makes me wonder if shielding the solar panel with 40mm wire mesh (often called chicken wire) is worth the solar efficiency loss.

One thing about Climate Change is: more energy in the system means worse extreme events, and the less extreme events more often. But when is the cut over point?
Mozilla supports censorship and banning for wrong-think. So I don't care what happens to them.
It does lead to intelligence and knowledge of the world. It leads to somewhat similar understanding of the world as our understanding of 4D, quantum mechanics or environment close to a black hole. Pretty bad one [...] GPT-3 understanding of physical world is similarly bad.

No, GPT-3 has no "understanding" whatsoever - we at least have a conscious engagement with the topics you cite and a genuine understanding that we lack a directly relatable perspective.

Our understanding in many circumstances - like those you mention, may be severely constrained, but it exists as part of a sentience that there is no reason to believe GPT-3 or any other current AI tool - possesses.

> Over time I’ve realized that action precedes motivation

Interesting insight. Usually we think of it the other way around.
The problem is that not all anti climate change materials nor all anti mask material are false. There are plenty of legitimate studies on those sides, fact checking them away would be lying. So your fact checkers would need to be way more competent than your average journalist, so scaling that up to moderate the whole worlds communication is simply not possible.
Those products already exist. This is just a new route to them.
If it was so obvious, why didn't Microsoft, Google or anyone else outbid them?
Reality is that while China blocks Facebook, Google, etc and smartly props up their own clones, it’s “aghast” at the American protectionism and xenophobic behaviour.
How dare the Americans block a Chinese app?!
China is not a democracy. It’s not interested in fairness. China is playing the long game.
Just like the wars of the past were fought with little toy armies of a few thousand knights and noblemen marching into each other’s countries until someone decided to conscript their whole nation into battle, the West is fighting allowing China to pilfer its technology, wreak the environment, and compete with state backed organisations. Wanna compete with Huawei? Good luck sending in your company noblemen, China is sending their whole nation behind it.
A fascinating study in regular webpages that are so nondescript they look like they must be fake...

The downloader itself also just doesn't meet the level of quality I'd expect Microsoft would want before putting their name to something. Microsoft is meant to be all about cloud, and this seems to be a single threaded downloader, pulling one file at a time, then decompressing it. Once it's decompressed fully, it moves into the next file.

It's not a deal breaker for me - I just left it running for a couple of hours, but the process seems sufficiently fragile that many people had quite serious problems getting it to download.

I'm not a game dev, but it feels to me like there's a few areas where FS falls short of what I'd be expecting as Microsoft. I'd want it to be responsive and start quickly (at least presenting something on the screen), and I wouldn't want it to be using full GPU in the menus. Teething issues are to be expected, but the downloader is critical and it's the first experience people have. A shame they didn't use some more reliable file transfer tech (or even just thread it!) The general lack of multi core use on the sim is definitely quite disappointing though for a 2020 release that's doing lots of general calculations and other tasks that benefit from threading.
And leaving it in huge open air and waterside windblown heaps, in the case of the ash.
Yes there are optimizations that run before monomorphization; this one occurs during macro expansion.

It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. To monomorphize clone(), someone must emit an implementation first. But an optimal implementation requires analyses that aren't available until later in the pipeline. Here the optimization kicks in for types deriving Copy, but a generic parameter is enough to defeat it.
Religions have always been used as political "weapons".

The religion themselves are pretty much politics with their leaders enactic laws, policies and even motivating their existence/rank using the religion itself.

E.g: "our people was chosen to be in a covenant with god and he chose me to lead you so do as I say because he only talks with me!".

I think it's the time to leave superstitions and religions behind and use some facts/measurements and reason to fix things up(i.e climate change) without to wait for someone else from sky to fix them up for us.
> Until an appeal actually overturns this, is this not the new standard?

No, because the 11th Circuit Court or Appeals has already ruled to the contrary, while the 4th and 9th Circuits have rules similarly. However the First Circuit rules on this there is a Circuit split until the Supreme Court resolves it. So calling other side of that split the absolute rule is presumptuous.

I actually see this rhetoric a lot, and I'm not completely disagreeing with it, but at the same time I'm scared of the effects of playing the same game with the CCP and the ramifications of such move: it seems to always end up in a "us versus them" scenario which further divides the world. If you see a few people backing the US government's decision of attacking Chinese apps, imagine how the Chinese people are being brainwashed to hate on the US gov for attacking Chinese apps. IMO it is only with leading by example that we can change the situation, and the situation will change when China gets wealthy enough, and we shouldn't be scared of China becoming wealthy and joining our ranks.
One thing is for certain - existing manufacturers will have to compete in a different way.

So the iphone came out in 2007 and pretty much wiped out the competition in phones. blackberry and nokia and even palm were pretty much forgotten in short order. But now there are alternatives. But then apple lost its founder. I wonder what things would be like if steve jobs were around.
That's a frustrating situation.

I've been in it. My work was heavily criticised, my technology choices invalidated, other's choices foisted on me. I was moved into silo-like work. A particular colleague liked to criticise colleagues in their absence, and I was part of those he spoke about - backbiting. This created a sense of exclusion.

This all started when we got a new engineering manager who I didn't click with. I wanted to stay until my tenure was long enough, and to leave with a respected reputation. Here's how I handled it:

1. If there's a tenth of an ounce to learn from the heavy criticism, learn it, improve on it and thank the colleague.

2. Being pushed into technology I had little experience in, I was worried it affected my reputation of competence; I worked hard to learn the new technology, learn from my company's existing code and industry best practices, and pushed to implement it as best as I could. That I worked in a silo meant no one's work depended on mine, and I had time to polish and test to push my work better.

3. When my colleagues report their work in my presence, if there's any part of it that demonstrated competence that I understood or had something to learn from, I pointed out specific aspects that made it good.

More than a year on, this has paid off. I am in a new job using the new technology my colleagues gave me a opportunity to learn. Learning from criticisms really helped me with improving how I deploy design patterns. My relentless struggle to maintain positivity in the face of hostility repaired relationships with some, and built on them with others. This gave me strong references and recommendations. The new job I got paid 20% more, at a time when there was a sudden flood of layoffs due to the coronavirus.

As someone currently utterly suffering trying to learn Android code via docs, google, and SO posts I want you to know that I am very thankful you are doing this. The state of online help for Android is on the edge of a comic tragedy.
Same, tried to get both either an uber or lyft in an upscale mountain town recently. Their algorithms seem completely unable to cope with rural areas, especially in these covid times.

Zero drivers. No drivers to even reject the horribly underpriced fair for our 4 mile trip. Both uber and lyft assumed the driver would be already near our location, not 4 miles away.

Lyft and uber started quoting the ride as as about $9. Lyft never changed it. Uber did actually up the price to $20something after it failed to find drivers.

Local taxi company charged us $60 bucks. $30 + tip would have been what I'd think as reasonable starting for lyft or uber. That's 3x what either of showed.

I think this would break the fundamental workflow of python where you can run a script and it can import from your CWD.
I think you have problems if you just write local foo = require ("foo") in two different files and you want to replace the module object in both of them at once.

Edit: the below is probably wrong about what you're doing. It sounds like your require-replacement merges the new return value of a module into the old one, so code that accesses stuff through the module's top level table will get the right result.

Wrong stuff: Maybe the hot reloading system you use relies on modules mutating the module object rather than making a new one. This is pretty unusual among Lua modules though. I usually see people unconditionally make a table and return it.
This is horseshit. The last thing fb wants is for nations to start banning each others technology companies. Tik tok being banned in India and USA could start a domino effect that see's fb being kicked out of many countries that follow.
> I believe it accounts for a large portion of stolen accounts/handles on the platform.

I doubt it's a large portion. It costs money for each hijacked account, and custom domains I would assume are only used on a tiny fraction of accounts. The vast majority of stolen accounts I would attribute to credential stuffing.
Most US apps are banned in China to allow Chinese competitors to flourish.

Manga is certainly big part of it, but there was always a sizeable "text only" section as well - 20-30% maybe ? Manga 40-50% I would guess. And indeed, no shrinkwrapping (only exception - the 1000 yen series bundles, but thereit was for practical purposes :) ) and you can see a lot people reading at any time.

And its kinda necessary to find what your are lokking for, especially if you are a foreigner with shaky levels of reading Japanese. :) Also you can find interesting stuff you did not know existed just by picking a random book and looking inside. More so as each Book Off store seems to have different gems hidden inside - we visited quite a few (Kagoshima, Kawasaki, Akihabara) and each one had something special. :)
I agree with you.

My one worry is - since data subsidizes things - will the private alternative even exist?

A friend of mine who worked at a pc manufacturer years ago said they didn't make a linux pc because they made money on the shovelware they bundled with windows pcs. why would they make a linux pc if it were more expensive/cost them money?
This isn't a solution, but I recommend always using /tmp as a Downloads folder (i.e. symlinking ~/Downloads to /tmp under macos so that it is at least purged every time you reboot.
If you set login to require 3/10 then 3 of those ways would need a security flaw before your account is compromised.
Thanks for the comment and link, and your moderating influence. I hoped my comment was a gentle mention that things can be OK and why. But some see that as selling snake oil. I hope >1 POV is allowed, and hopefully I can learn better.

Maybe my main mistake was my follow-up reply saying someone else's comment was "cheap", when I might have said more like just "with downvotes, thoughtfully considered comments are appreciated", to be less flame-y, and left it at that.

Anyway, thank you again for the link and comment.

The author doesn't understand GDPR.

The GDPR governs consent for processing of _personal data_. Generally, anonymized data is not personal.

The author attacks the anonymization method, but that is a thin branch to stand on. In particular, given how GDPR is very much about usage, Microsoft helps substantiate their anonymization simply by not attempting to deanonymize.

See eg Art 7,

> Where processing is based on consent, the controller shall be able to demonstrate that the data subject has consented to processing of his or her personal data.

And Recital 26

> The principles of data protection should therefore not apply to anonymous information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is not or no longer identifiable.
I've been to the US and there's no passport control whatsoever when you leave. You don't ever see a border guard on your way out — you go through security at the airport and then straight to the gate.

The real problem is that they now require social media handles on the visa application.
Could it possibly be crappier than github???

Github is on the way out so this may replace it?!?
Thank you! This seems like an interesting problem space. I'll check out the careers page and apply if I see a good match for my skillset!
Kind of an interesting take. Same for me, the solution to vexing problems often come in off-hours.

My solution for creating boundaries is not to banish wrong-think at wrong times, but to simply prioritize "my time" versus "company time". If I am on company time, that hobby idea gets jotted down for after-hours research. But after I am off the clock, my personal interests get my attention and work can wait, or gets just a quick notation so that I can refocus on my own priority.

Interestingly working full-time again after a stint of contracting has made this easier. When I was doing mostly remote contracting, it was harder to separate -- the urge to generate billable hours made it hard to enjoy my free time. Now that I have FTE -- my weekends are mine, damn it.
Ok, we've taken the nitrogen products out of the air in the title above.
Nah. There are plenty of interesting articles that just happen to have clickbait headlines. I wouldn't flag someone just for that.
All of these comments seem to be written as though the side effect of trolling federal agencies is everyone being mature, recognizing that you pulled a great joke on them, having a good laugh, patting you on the back and sending you on your way.

Based on prior stories I've read - trolling pissed off people with any form of Authority could end up very very badly for anyone doing this.

Aside from them just out and out confiscating any electronic device they like, they could detain you for a long period of time, they could put you on no-Fly lists (and then good luck ever flying into/within the US again), they could put you on extended screening lists (and so, every time you fly then on - again, kiss goodbye every electronic device you posess every time you travel, again). If you're a foreign national, or even if you look vaguely foreign, you might find yourself deported/denied entry/locked up for a while during the deportation process.

That's before they even get motivated enough to be malicious - I'm sure if they wanted, they could gin up enough of a case of "obstruction" or "wasting police time" if they can find any evidence (or even anything that looks like it could be hint of intention, like posting on HN), which even if it never goes to trial can still make your life a living hell, cost you your job, and a huge amount of money defending.
I've built a collection of lo-fi stuff (mainly off youtube) and the main problem is unnecessary (IMHO) and/or depressing vocal cues (e.g. "I don't love you anymore" on repeat, wtf!). Just cool clean lo-fi without the seldom needed garnish is a very relaxing thing. Also, TIL github.audio - quite nice.
Y'know - and I'm trying to make this pithy rather than low effort - you sound like a Ptolemaic astronomer going on about epicycles because you can't wrap your mind around heliocentrism.

Anthropogenic emissions dominate climate change, and will for the remainder of the athropocene. The jury is in.
Yeah. Additionally, all three terms have consonants and vowels! The more we look, the more similar they get.

You've badly missed the point.

Intrinsic properties like a person's skin color are not even remotely comparable to an misogynistic ideology they have chosen. To do so is to embarrass yourself and convince nobody.
No I'm not saying I would rather it be implicit. That can have other adverse repercussions. My goal here was just to identify the problem precisely, because (as you can clearly tell from the thread) it is anything but obvious, even for people who've been using Python for years. I can imagine other ways to mitigate it that don't have dangerous side-effects (like warnings), but there are lots of approaches, and how to solve it is a bit more subjective and warrants a longer discussion.

The pitfall is only part of the problem. The problem is much deeper than that. In Python, the solution lies in the base class, which another author may have written in a totally different time/place. Yet the problem only manifests itself when you, another poor soul, try to derive from it later. This kind of spooky action at a distance pierces abstractions, which is just about the last thing you should want from a programming language... and in a sense it literally violates causality (for the lack of a better word). The poor soul that notices this in multiple-inheritance will have to go very much out of their way to work around it: after spending a while trying to track it down (and understanding what's even going on, which is not easy), they'll have to either monkey-patch the original class at runtime, or introduce superfluous wrappers. That is a very high price to pay, and that's on top of the silent failure that led your code to crash and burn.

But anyway, I was just illustrating Python can be quite complicated (even moreso than C++ in some ways) and has flaws despite its simple and straightforward appearance, and it can catch even experienced developers completely off-guard. Just answering the question you asked, basically.
Would webkit ever come along with this?
