A lot of companies are at least removing the more aggressive DRMs (eg. Denuvo) some time after the prime sales window has passed, at which point they would either have minimal DRM like Steam, or be fully cracked.
Uniswap just launched its own governance token
It’s actually a new-ish “credential provider” system for logging into Windows. It’s not just Azure AD either, Gsuite can be used for logging into and managing Windows now. There is no longer a need for a local domain controller either.

Until there's a better alternative to C at its level of performance, people will keep using C.
I will tell you why I use Gnome. Gnome/Fedora was the first distro that played nice with my 4k XPS display AND the various 2k and HD secondary displays I use. I switched from Ubuntu/XFCE about five years ago. As I get older, I look for applications and DE's that require as little mouse use as possible. In Gnome 3, it's super+space, type application name, enter and use. Super+arrow to snap around the screen. A minuscule top bar gives me the perfect amount of screen real estate. The only application that I like to tile is a terminal and tmux works just fine. So for my use, Gnome just seems to stay out of my way.
Are there any audiobook subscription services which aren't purchase-oriented but work more like Spotify or Apple Music? Just as I don't want to purchase individual albums or songs, I also don't want to purchase one single audiobook per month that I'm only likely to listen to a single time and then never again. I'd rather pay a monthly subscription (even if it's a bit more) and have the freedom to not worry about any purchase.
Is there so much as a single example of DRM preventing dishonest or amoral actors from accessing content?

If it's digital, it can be copied. With audio, the analogue loophole (record the output off an aux cable, re-digitize) is trivial, and any loss of fidelity won't be noticed.

So your "if" is kind of bootless here. Audible's platform, convenience, and the desire to do the right thing and reward creators, is the "good thing", and DRM is a paranoid annoyance.

This is the world in which, if your life's work is an audio file, it can easily be duplicated millions of times. It's as conducive to the creation of new art as any such world would be.

The way that CPI inflation is calculated accounts for spending pattern changes already, including mortgage/rent. If you don't have a nuanced critique of the CPI calculation method, I'd argue that this point is moot.

It's also worth pointing out that the average square footage of a home has grown considerably in this time, and that even if you are comparing a similar sized home, it is unfair to compare a home 3 miles from city center in a city of 1 million people to the same in a city of 2 million people, after it has grown through the years.
Still not an option, Apple knows better than you.
Do the Windows based laptops have a similar touchpad like the Mac which just works, last time I checked they did not.
I can't tell if the various % changes are for inflation-adjusted constant dollars or not...
It's actually exactly the opposite: based on the World Bank's preferred indicator for well-being (consumption), the bottom 20% in the US do better than the middle class in most OECD countries.

I genuinely cannot wait for that to make it to EKS.
FTA:

> Overall, non-response increased significantly and was more strongly associated with income than in previous years, with non-response decreasing with income, meaning that income data could be skewed higher than it actually was.

I don't see how calculations would trend in a particular direction if they weren't literally collected in this calendar year.

It's still confusing as hell.

Also, is this addendum, by the census themselves:

> When correcting for non-response bias in 2019, the Census found that real median income was $66,790, 2.8% lower than reported in the official release.

What 13 hour flight has power outlets that will output the 100+ watts you need to play Red Dead Redemption 2?
In 10 years you're better off just playing the 8K remaster on PS6 or maybe just playing red dead redemption 3 which is pretty much the same game but with better graphics and combat.
Same experience... There's a lot to like about notion and I chose it over everything else and am using it professionally and personally. But the sluggishness is really starting to bother me
That’s amazingly misleading, people receiving Social Security and Medicare benefits tend to have lower earnings than they did while working full time. Effectively, averaging people who pay lots of taxes and receive minimal benefits with others who are receiving massive benefits gives a very distorted view of what’s going on.

Similarly, lumping everyone in the top 40% with the Rich completely hides how little the rich pay by lumping them in with the highest effective tax rate groups.

PS: It gets even crazier than that when you consider Trump for example qualified as having zero income for multiple years.

It seems like NPR has changed the title to "Military Police Leaders Weighed Deploying 'Heat Ray' Against D.C. Protesters"

EDIT: Also, why is this on HN? I'd understand it if the article were discussing the technology, but as it stands it's just a (valid) political piece. Sadly, the comments already resemble an ugly trainwreck.
probably just cname.
I believe that that bug was fixed in the most recent beta.
New Visions for Public Schools
Training videos aren't legal documents: they say one thing, but fine print says something different. What matters is how the rules are applied in practice. And the practice is that women are given the upper hand in nearly all situations. This means that if I took that offer and the colleague changed her mind a year later, the harassment rules wouldve been applied retroactively because it helps the company's image. And if they later found out she was lying, then the arbitration clause would apply that would bar me from seeking a legal action (which wouldn't fix my reputation regardless of outcome). This is why that opportunity was more like a cop asking "Hey, I'm in a good mood today, if you wanna test drive my police dodge, keys are on the table - just bring it back tomorrow morning."

8 million people live in NYC, and between them and visitors from the surrounding metropolitan area a comparable number of people utilize the public transit system regularly. $500M/yr is 17 cents per person per day. I can think of less useful things I would pay 17 cents for.
Just curious, what's your career path? Growing your compensation 4 times in such a short timespan does sound like an achievement, at least from outside the valley.
Have you looked at Dhall or Tanka? They are both designed to solve exactly this problem (and I couldn’t agree with you more)
I was more thinking about how music is a common element for trips. Maybe math problems aren't appropriate because, as you say, it requires an entirely different structure. Music though is very sensory and perceptual so could you elicit say pattern recognition? If you played a sound or pattern but isolate the sound from the participant, could the entity repeat the pattern?
According to BEA, "State personal income increased 4.4 percent in 2019, after increasing 5.6 percent in 2018". This is not median data, so the median would likely have increased even less.

They did that to their parents, and on top of that advantage they systematically didn't build enough houses for the projected population growth.

I think it is reasonable to ask if you set up a whole generation for failure yourself. Millennial choices are severely handicapt considering how we inherit the world versus how the boomer in the 90ties got it.
I figure it's like a self-hosted wiki of sorts.
Definitely, and the census even calls it out:

Honestly I'd be even more surprised if it was one of the established giants because what a turnaround that would be.
The farther you take these analogies with physical goods, the more stretched and strained they get. For example, there's not a lot of intellectual property restrictions on a roll of toilet paper. That's because almost all of the value of a roll of toilet paper is in the actual production of the physical thing.

On the other hand, software is essentially free (as in beer) to copy once it exists. So it makes sense that toilet paper doesn't have enforcers.

You say that authentication is ok because it's for the purpose of ensuring you paid. But that's also the purpose of DRM, which you say is not ok. So there must be more to the reason.

Personally, I don't think DRM is morally wrong in general. If there DRM I object to on a product, I won't buy that product.
Sigh. I make an HN account yet again because I see a topic I actually, for real, know about and have something useful to contribute. Then keep commenting with it, pile up karma without really trying.

Then end up in an argument with a certifiable troll and/or moron (one can never tell), while not even attempting to argue, even a little, mostly just trying to figure out why they're so angry and (every single time) bad at reading. Then get frustrated at how spectacularly shitposting-tolerant HN is despite its self-image and set my password to something I don't know, with no reset email.

Rinse, repeat.

Swear to god this is the last time you trick me, HN. I leave you to what you want to be.
(1) Recognize that getting rid of this mindset is going to be an uphill battle, because humans are wired to compare ourselves to our peer group, as a means of determining our status within it. It is okay that this is a hard thing to deal with, even if it seems like a profoundly "first world problem". Don't feel ashamed that you are dealing with it and don't be demoralized when it remains quite hard.

(2) Delete your social media accounts; they really enable the self-minimizing comparisons with other people. Try this out, at least for a bit: stop going on Twitter, Reddit, HN, Facebook, Instagram, etc. and see if this issue is on your mind as often over the course of a month.

(3) Recognize that you are making an objectively huge amount of money, even for a software engineer. It helps to keep some global perspective: even if the people you socialize with don't view your income as impressive, 99.5% of people in the world do. Contrary to the vibe on this site, most software engineers aren't making 300K+ each year.

(4) Recognize that money is not everything, and if you are otherwise happy with your job perhaps the money thing shouldn't matter that much. As people get older (at least in my experience), they tend to see this and start to value other things in their lives more. Try to socialize with some people outside of tech, doing something you enjoy (beer-tasting, hiking, playing board games, whatever) - though this may be quite hard to do right now depending on where you live.

(5) If none of the above make you feel better, its okay to decide that money (or the associated status) is a priority for you and pursue it: hit the books and apply to the jobs that you feel would pay you the amount you want. BUT, this feeling almost certainly won't magically go away if you get the job: you will find new people to compare yourself unfavourably to. And unless you're Jeff Bezos, there is always a bigger fish. And even if you are Jeff Bezos, there are always going to be 100 people working their hardest to dethrone you.
This immediately reminded me of Ghost in the Shell. It seems like this is something that could be used as a weapon. If so, I hope it's being properly protected. You used to have to have a pacemaker or epilepsly, but now everyone is vulnerable to hacking?
Right, but the point of using it is not to have to blank it out in form like this brand does. It would be like putting heck as hk.
It's as though the Orange Man is not too bad, after all. Although, who am I kidding, HN will spend the next day trying to figure out why this is bad for the United States anyway.
What do you expect them to use instead? Rubber bullets blind people and tear gas is very damaging to people with asthma. They can't let riots run free like in Portland because they have to protect the essential government buildings. Should the military beat protesters with nightsticks? What should they do when words are insufficient?
Trump has already said the director is confused, so you have no need to be.

If the DRM kicks in, the product might stop working.

Regardless of if using cracked games is still thing, the practice of cracking games will persist. Those who crack games do it for the technical challenge, without deriving any financial benefit from it.
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple all have launched gaming platforms, to varying degrees of success. I think any of them could have bought Oculus. While they all also have some degree of AR and/or VR tech, none of them have an Oculus-like product.

With tens of millions of Americans facing food insecurity and tens of millions of Americans facing eviction now, thanks to years of precarity exacerbated by the COVID-19, I think the situation is worse than you're suggesting.
That happened to me with Stargate SG-1. Was going through it on Netflix and suddenly it disappeared. Eventually resurfaced on Amazon Prime but the video quality is garbage on it for some reason.
Sounds like Java applets to me.
Hah. I had bookmarked Donnie Darko because, while I had already watched it (good movie, even better soundtrack!) I wanted to watch it again with my wife. I swear it was available the week before I finally decided to rewatch it, then of course it was gone when I wanted it.

(By the way, I know this doesn't actually happen, but I swear Netflix sticks in my bookmarks movies and shows I never bookmarked!)

The irony is that the U-2 is still in service while the SR-71 is decommissioned.

This doesn't take away from your point of course, I just thought it was interesting.
I was thinking about ultrasound or infrasound, but that's dangerous too. A better idea is some kind of organic dirt: about as dangerous as rain, but also disgusting enough to stop all but the most determined types.
The linked FRED data is median data.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_of_deviance

"Normalization of deviance is a term used by the American sociologist Diane Vaughan to describe the process in which deviance from the right as in the correct or proper behavior becomes normalized in a corporate culture.

Vaughan defines this as a process where a clearly unsafe practice comes to be considered normal if it does not immediately cause a catastrophe: "a long incubation period [before a final disaster] with early warning signs that were either misinterpreted, ignored or missed completely".

The original example cited by Vaughn was the events leading to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, but the concept has also been applied to clinical practice in medicine and aviation safety."
This is a good use of twitter to apply engineering and figure out issues.
The problem is that PG&E’s incentives are significantly misaligned to not be successful:

1. Crazy renewable edicts that do not have base power assumptions (see blackouts over summer).

2. Maintenance programs that are not overseen by a third part. This story. Please read just to see the sheering off of the c hook and the fact it might have been 100 years old!
Adults usually don't strap on gear and tackle each other at your local park. When I played, we most ran routes, which is passing plays, if we weren't playing a pick up game. When I read this part of OP, I guessed he or she didn't do too much research on recreational sports.
I like joplin but does it have backlinks?
There could be some kind of lawsuit or legislation mandating that AR or VR platform owners provide access to third-party software (like how Microsoft was forced to offer other browsers back in the day).
I'd rather they use tear gas because at least cameras can see and document that being used.
I mean the most likely effect of iOS allowing alternative browsers is even more Chrome dominance than already currently exists. The fact that a major platform forces developers to not just stop once it works in Chrome is probably a net benefit at this point.
Nova is the successor to Coda, which was always a web development tool. So seems totally logical to me.
As much as I would like to use this, the lack of cross platform support is a big no go for me.

from the report:

This report uses the characteristics of
the householder to describe the household.
The householder is the person (or one of the
people) in whose name the home is owned
or rented and the person to whom the
relationship of other household members
is recorded. If a married couple owns the
home jointly, either spouse may be listed
as the householder. Since only one person
in each household is designated as the
householder, the number of householders
is equal to the number of households. The
count of households in this report excludes
group quarters.

Further definitions are held here: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/techdocs/cpsmar...

(dont have time to parse through, but I suspect that there is only one head of household, and thus it means a child who is 18+ living with their parents, they are basically aren't even considered in the calculation)

I feel sorry for Linux users but you must know game companies don't really care about you guys.
Another big deterrent to pirating games is the possibility of it installing malware in your system.

That danger is almost exclusive to software piracy. The probability of being infected by an evil pdf, mp3 or mp4 is really low if you know what you're doing (i.e. updating and using decent software).
I read three levels deep into everything in their readme and still have no idea what it is. I found out it's _like_ a lot of other things that have no description.
I was referring more to the excessive padding in material design in general, but yeah I'm not a fan of gaps so pairing that with gaps in tilling seems extra bloated to me.
A Java Web Start application using JavaFX for UI is actually a really nice environment for application development.

Sadly every runtime (including native executables) that isn't the web browser is treated as a security risk, while web "pages" running arbitrary code with any level of local hardware access are seen as safe, so I think we're stuck with the web stack for the long haul.
Many enjoy exploring the limits of what is possible.
Hum... Quantum computers tend to be digital, not analog. The word "q-bit" is there for a reason, just because the bits are entangled it doesn't make them analog.

Besides, the set of problems you can solve is different from the set of problems you can solve quickly. When discussing analog and digital computers, the speed difference isn't all that relevant, but you seem to be confusing them here. Quantum computers do not solve any problem you can't solve on a classical computer, they just solve some faster.
All it takes is one of your friends who knows how to. Then they'll share with you. And much like opening PDFs, this isn't rocket science.

The base knowledge here is people who know how to install and play pretty complex games. These people go to impossible lengths to install video drivers and troubleshoot problems with their computers; I'm sure they won't find this particular task very difficult.
How does it compare to VSCodium?

Given that it starts with the huge handicaps of being proprietary and commercial, requiring a proprietary OS with very limited hardware support, and having far less extensions than VSCodium, it seems very unlikely it can compete.

>> The ADS was developed by the military some twenty years ago as a way to disperse crowds. There have been questions about whether it worked, or should be deployed in the first place. It uses millimeter wave technology to essentially heat the skin of people targeted by its invisible ray.

That doesn't help you if you're Alice.
I don't see anything stretched in that, especially when DRM proponents very clearly expressed the idea behind it themselves. I already gave you a link above with exact quote. Their idea was to violate users' privacy because "there is simply too much at stake". Something like police state also has "too much at stake" not to use mass surveillance or whatever other overreaching preemptive policing.
Yes but the thinking process as expressed in the article did not show evidence of that. It showed weakness in reasoning and narrowness of thought.

how much do you think FB would care about that, even if that data was actually uploaded (which it isn't because it would be extremely expensive for everyone involved).

C'mon, I get the hate but this is worst than tinfoil hat conspiracies.
Things I've seen police do at the protests: Tackle calm non-violent citizens and then repeatedly punch them in the head while on top of them, fire teargas into traffic and then slash the tires of vehicles stuck in the protest, severely maim civilians holding signs via impact munitions to the head.. just a few things I've witnessed.
"well sourced" would be linking to the actual source with the citation, not expecting us to dig out the information. I'm not sure how they got to near 20% of US gdp being spent on social programs.

US GDP is 21 trillion, social program spending is under a trillion.

Posting that you make $150k at Amazon and expect to get to $200k soon is exactly the “microagression” and bragging you complain about. If your peers put you down find a better crowd. In the world of people in the software business you have already succeeded. In the bigger world of people working shitty jobs for minimum wage, or the hundreds of thousands who lost their tenuous jobs because they can’t work from home, you’re just humble bragging and complaining about problems the large majority of people wish they had.
