That's my stance as well. I'm usually all for bashing Google and other GAFAs, but here the service they offer is pretty incredible and I can't imagine any serious competition managing to offer the same features with the same conditions.

They're hosting petabytes upon petabytes of videos, transcoded to work anywhere, forever, for free. And you can even get a share of the ad revenue. I can't imagine how I would even begin to develop a competing website, I'd be drowned in hosting fees before I even make a dent in Youtube's user share.
> the aviation industry doesn't appear to be able reward the manufacturers that take risks with their designs. Both Concorde and the A380 have been disasters commercially.

The aviation industry (for passenger planes) is people that purchase flights. Evidently, sufficient people don’t value the time a Concorde saves with the extra operating costs, and they don’t value the advantages of the A380 versus the disadvantages, such as time spent transferring to smaller planes.

It would take a lot for me to prefer a longer flight with more stops than a shorter non stop flight.
Yes. This seems very transparently a way for google to hijack customers trying to get to your site for shipping status.
I think you also want to use the hardware capabilities of the target platform (overflow detection, automatic trapping) as much as possible and at the same time also allow all other integer arithmetic optimizations. Not sure if all of this can be done from within a user library.
But I thought dark matter candidates needed to not interact with EM radiation in the same way ordinary matter does. Black holes are perfectly capable of absorbing light, wouldn't this effect be seen?

Perhaps they are so point-like that they can have sufficient density averaged out to account for the observed gravitational effects but a small enough cross-section that they contribute negligibly to light absorption?
If you read the DMCA you would know that at a minimum a DMCA notice needs to describe the copyrighted work being infringed upon (i.e. explain what has been stolen).

You can’t just go and claim that a video or other content infringes on a copyright somewhere. You must state which copyright is being infringed upon.

> (ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site. [1]

Is this a librarian chastising you or, on your next visit, telling you that the reference book you’d checked out had been shown to be a work of fiction and recataloged under conspiracy theories? Libraries have plenty of books with inaccuracies and they haven’t contributed to the downfall of popular discourse.
"good faith assumption"

That would be my guess too

Works for recipes and products - which schema did you remove?
Based on the MAX9814 chip, which costs 0.75 USD in 2.5K volume, leaving 0.25 USD for everything else. The design is not integrated much (many connectors), so assembly costs will be high. It also requires 2xAA batteries as a consumable, which consumer has to pay as well.

So this is not a 1 USD hearing aid in any way. And if current units are 500 USD, then going down to 50 or 10 USD would already be a huge improvement.

My recent observations of HN is that many here take their own experience, and extrapolate that they are common and therefore anybody else could've also done it, and would be willing to.

But there's empirical evidence that not many people want to stop eating meat. Look at how few vegetarians there are, compared to non-vegetarians. Do you really think those people don't know it's possible to live healthily as vegetarians?

> Facebook is a company that uses its power to change what people think

I don't think that's a helpful way to look at it. Facebook is a platform that other people use to change what people think, and that's dangerous enough. Without any ill intent whatsoever from Facebook itself, that still creates serious issues with unintentional bias (e.g. via algorithms trained with poor data sets) and manipulation. Those are the problems we most need to address, because the number and power of people trying to manipulate Facebook from outside totally dwarfs the ability of anyone inside - including Mark - to do so even if they all wanted to. Framing it as "Facebook and all of its employees are evil" doesn't solve anything, and wouldn't even if it was true.
I’m sensing some attitude issues just reading this, to be completely honest.

If your reaction to your library/product/whatever not taking off on HN is to get on HN and complain about it, you’re probably building whatever it is you’re building for the wrong reasons.

> I can see the problem, and some of the solutions - but other developers are simply not interested.

Developers are constantly marketed all kinds of solutions. You, the library author, have a responsibility to convince developers that the problem you’re working on is legitimate. If that’s not getting across, that’s on you.

> Maybe HN is trying to tell me that I would be better off developing a standup comedy routine?

Why would anyone want to take you or your work seriously after reading something like this?
Your local library contains many non-fiction books that are filled with inaccurate statements. Librarians are happy to help you with fact checking research but it wouldn't be appropriate for them to label some books as fake. Make up your own mind.
Sorry, I can't risk this account getting associated with my real name.

It's a Nokia 6.1. I've got a lot of apps running, so my guess is that memory exhaustion is causing the app to completely close when switching away. The whole app and previous page then needs to be reloaded when I reopen the app. I think it's the previous page reloading is causing the biggest part of the delay.

What's annoying is that even if I try to switch to another site, it still waits for the previous page to load. I'd like to easily cancel the reload so that I can go to a separate page quickly.
Is there any hope of actually getting the promised performance out of modern hardware without having a CPU/assembly expert on your team?

The situation is ridiculous. I've played games that are simple reimplementations of DOS games (not via an emulator, but using SDL) that use 20% of a modern 2GHz CPU, while the original ran on a 12MhZ machine.

I'm by no means an expert on JIT compilation, but I can give a less technical answer. I think the primary reason is that most of the developers (both CPython core developers and Python developers) do not consider Python as a tool for writing perfomance critical software. So, any JIT initiative, which requires a lot of resources, doesn't get enough of them. CPython allows to write C extension modules quite easily, so if you need to write some perfomance critical piece of code , you just switch to C and call a C function from Python.

Unladen Swallow was a version of CPython that added JIT support. PEP-3146 describes an unsuccessful attempt to merge it into CPython [1]. Here's a postmortem [2]

Starting with version 3.6, CPython allows to set a custom frame evaluation function on the interpreter and to store JIT compiled code in a code object. This was done to support JIT in a form of a separate module and is described in PEP 523 [3].

This is very interesting topic. I should study it in detail and probably write a post. I hope I'll be able to give a more thorough answer someday.

My argument was that "Google cares foremost" relevant to Facebook only as far as their business allows it, just like Facebook. There may be small percentage of something else but it's the main explanation.

This was my main criticism. What is your response to that?
I think there are some misunderstandings in this thread about what Secure Boot is and how it works. Secure Boot doesn't protect your disk encryption key.

The purpose of Secure Boot is to validate that the bootloader is trusted so that you can have some assurance that you're not giving your disk encryption password to a fake bootloader which phishes you.

Secure Boot doesn't give any agency more control over your machine than if you were not running Secure Boot. Using Secure Boot is strictly more secure than not using it, even if you don't trust the parties who made the implementation.
Not much you can do. If you're American, you could try to find which presidential candidate wants to pardon Assange and then vote for her.
You could try peer reviewed fact checking, Wikipedia seems to have managed okay, so it’s possible even if the terminology and models above are not.
Ok, but does anyone really want to read at hundreds of chars per line? Just look at the comments here. It's pretty clear that there is a widespread preference for fewer. This makes sense, since typesetters figured all of this out long before CSS existed.
For Python work I use a pretty much out-of-the-box Emacs, with "magit" being the only plugin of note installed. And I also used "web-mode" when I was doing webdev. magit is the best Git interface ever, and a built-in Emacs feature called TRAMP allows for remote editing. I'm running ipython in a separate terminal. I don't really understand why you'd need something more than a text editor to edit Python code.

Now for Common Lisp I use SLIME, which I guess does count as IDE, seeing as it's much more powerful than most IDEs.

That's absolutely true. Whenever one of the daily posts on my Facebook page does well, I have to stop posting for a couple of days because the next posts are throttled to the point where they are invisible. Most people will have to go to my page specifically in order to see the post, because it will not show in their timeline organically. After a couple of days of not posting I will get a normal amount of views again.
Thanks for the detailed response. Proceed along with your premise as true and go further. Assume the macro-scale organizations' incentives are broken, and will/can not take material action until near-term (organizationally fatal?) effects are threatening their hold on power. Is your worst case scenario aligned with RCP 8.5 [1] or even worse?

I do not anticipate any foreseeable feasible scenario where the economic political structure will allow scientists to lay out the facts without fearing for their livelihood to meet their basic physiological and safety needs. So turning on its head the question of how to change the economic political landscape, assume their basic needs are met, what exactly do the scientists and engineers need to gather the data and analyze it, and to what end?

I'm a little confused about the thesis chain for that matter. I see at the beginning the "we cannot save the planet" thesis, but I'm not clear on what follows other than an ambiguous "clean-up our act" thesis. Clean-up what, specifically? By what metrics?

I'm okay with accepting the premise that we will experience the worst-case scenario. I've yet to be convinced we as individuals need to wait for broader and deeper consensus to study and make large-scale decisions as a civilizational whole before taking effective action ourselves, like move towards the poles away from the equator, secure essential localized supply chains, secure potable water production, identify and practice essential skills like various disciplines of tech tree repairs, etc. I can see a need for scientists like entomologists to help identify which insect populations will shift with the bands of increased temperatures, or identify more closed-cycle and efficient permaculture without external industrial-reliant inputs. But until there is perceptible change in leadership to grasp reality, I'm not clear on the benefits of advocating for top-down change, though I certainly welcome any insight on this that I'm missing.

For me personally, the thesis that follows from "we cannot save the planet" is "decentralize and decouple myself from a happy-path-bound grid", take what accidental happenstance cooperative opportunities arise, and hope for the best on the broader economic political scale.

Arguing for less consumption is a non-starter. It's a tacit admission that the solution to global warming is killing say 30% of the global population, just framed in an indirect manner so it doesn't sound like genocide.
Too bad we live in the kind of world where the biggest hearing aid manufacturer will read this, raise additional capital, buy the patent & rights to the $1 hearing aid and then sell hearing aids for $5,000 each they'll bill to medicare and big health insurance co.
This was a bit of a strange read.

1. Long queues... That's how low budget chains operate, they understaff so you regularly get longer queues. They usually resolve pretty quickly. I don't see how this would be a reason for buying lots of groceries. People go there because it's cheap, having to wait an extra minute isn't a dealbreaker for most people.

2. No sandwiches or food to go... This is very country dependent.

3. No self service... Are there any budget chains with self service? It's probably more expensive.

4. Separate entrance and exit... This is pretty common. I'm assuming it's to trick people into buying something by forcing them to go through the store. I don't see how it supports the thesis of Lidl being a shop where you shop a lot.

5. Awkward baskets... They look like regular baskets to me, I agree that their size tricks you into underestimating how much you buy.

When I see “Hydroxychloroquine is not able to cure COVID-19” is it better that warning is flagged by the community or by Twitter. I prefer a community solution; saying it’s not possible is IMO a lack of inventiveness around how the tagging could work. This also scales much better.

For a few dollars more it is possible to put a FPGA with perhaps a neural accelerator on it. It may tremendously simplify some of the DSP stack. More importantly, there should be a full-proof app or UI to allow the user to tune the hearing aid appropriately (or coupled with a training course for audiologists in the targeted regions to do so).

FB could have taken the same stance than Google about carbon-neutrality targets.

It could have also pledged to not data-mine user DMs.

It did not.
The appearance of legitimacy helps dictatorial regimes a lot.

They try to suppress it because a lot of people do it. The fewer people who vote and their vote doesn’t match the person or group who remains in power, the less crowd control that needs to be carried out with troops and violence after the election, the fewer inconvenient facts about post-election violence that need to be explained away to the supportive base with narratives and lies. Even authoritarians don’t like spending money they don’t have to.

They also try to suppress protest groups of any kind directed at any branch of the state, economic privacy, obtaining arms, private communications systems, and any and all things that might pose any kind of threat, even if only one to their image of legitimacy (such as pepper spraying peaceful protesters if protests get too large).

The election outcome, if favorable to the violent dictatorship, will be publicized widely and attempts to dispute it shut down. If unfavorable, discredited and disregarded, and any protests against it swiftly and violently quashed.
A music educator/vloger Adam Neely has been promoting two more platforms: Skillshare (https://www.skillshare.com/) and Nebula (https://watchnebula.com/), they seem like a good idea for educational and creative content but nowhere near YT omnipresence.

pjmlp's point is that GC can be the default, and manual memory management can be used where necessary.

It's essentially the Pareto principle. Most of your garbage is generated by a minority of your program. So only small bits of your program need to be optimised to not use the GC.
At first, it seemed like a laudable effort. I hate it, though, when someone makes a github repo and sticks a single zip file in it: https://github.com/bhamla-lab/LoCHAid-2020-PLOS-ONE

Europeans in that time did a lot of things that were bad and wrong and laid the groundwork of a lot of bad and oppressive ideas (racism just one of them) but to view modern medicine as anything short of a modern miracle is ridiculous. I personally would have been dead three times over by now if not for modern medicine.
I thought I was so clever and was going to reply "you've invented Twitter!" and then I read the rest of your comment, and realized that was your point. Damn it.
The reason that the rightwing falls prey to conspiracy theories is that there aren't enough rightwing intellectuals and institutions to lead their followers. And this in turn has happened because those intellectuals keep being persecuted and cancelled.

If your only source for a rightwing perspective is the streetcorner lunatic, then you might just listen in.

EDIT: I should add how this relates to your post. There needs to be rightwing-slant fact checkers that can call out the worst bullshit. People will only trust criticism perceived as coming from their own camp.
Moving from Flask to FastAPI
This is true in abstract but most of these claims have details which can be tested. You can’t disprove a perfect conspiracy but you can show that the named people don’t exist or weren’t in the place at that time, the “proof” image has incorrect details (e.g. remember the birthers alleging Obama had a birth certificate which mixed the name and seal of different countries and time periods?).

If it has enough detail to be tested, you can more justifiably mark it as fake. The vague unfalsifiable stuff is much less satisfying for people to spread.
I think the main cause is actually democratic leadership, or the lack thereof. Even 20 years ago it was unimaginable for people to give away rights and freedom, but the reaction of the US on the WTC attack and subsequent focus on terrorism and security were main factors in the regression we can now see more clearly.

Fear is most often the reason with added inexperience of people not knowing what a dictatorship entails.
So is there a conspiracy here or has this guy’s blog just been flagged innocently. I had no idea shadow banning on these platforms existed, it’s extremely scary that they are shaping debate this way silently.
