I just tried watching one of the upscaled and interpolated videos, and then comparing it to the source. Please consider doing this before commenting, because in my opinion it really illuminates how silly this all is.

The colorization, of course, is lies. The upscaling and interpolation, however, is harder to argue about. Sure, if you were to freeze a frame and zoom in, you are looking at data that may not directly correspond to what was recorded. But it didn’t come out of thin air either - its upscaled and interpolated. I have read the arguments and some of the comments on this page and I still cannot figure out how this isn’t just rationalizing elitism.

Of course we need to keep the source material, but nobody is suggesting to not do that.
I believe gridlockd's point was that the colorization and interpolation applied to these films and photos is a modification to and a stylistic choice about a representation of the state of the world, in the same way Van Gogh's skies are modifications and stylistic choices about the skies he saw.

Zcash and Zcoin are two very different things run by very different groups with very different protocols.

The poster was talking about Zcoin, and you responded with a canned line about Zcash.
Brilliant. Mozilla will never win the internet by focusing on building Firefox. The browser wars are over. Firefox is good but that's not enough. Banking on winning by outperforming Chrome in any significant way is delusional, because Google engineers are not idiots and Google will always have more resources to throw at this.

So fight them over where you fundamentally distinguish yourself. Brilliant.
So the remaining $74.75 covers not tracking you and supporting opensource hardware.
I can't wait until we stop using the word "occupied"(as in - occupied disk space, or occupied toiled) - my own country has been occupied so hard it stopped existing for nearly 100 years, countless people have died fighting against occupation, and now just seeing the word offends me, because somehow I grew to an adult age without the ability to differentiate between intention and context.

Obviously, it's nonsense. I don't have anything against github changing the names if they desire to, but I wish we called the argument behind it exactly for what it is - nonsense.

How many of your applications had a box requesting if you were ever convicted in those 30 years? Until fairly recently that was standard practice on any application. With the ban the box gaining traction, most companies now just farm it out, you don't have the check the box, they will do the background check. And here is the kicker, you don't have to give your consent in most cases as they are having a third party do the check on publicly available information. companies like goodhire, and many like it make the whole process cheap and easy.

"Altering primary documents..."

No one is altering the original documents. They still exist, right?

"actually less accurate (e.g. wrong color instead of no color)."

That's debatable. Why is "no color" more accurate? The world wasn't monochrome.

The Irish slaves in NYC might argue that slavery went way beyond racism.
Interestingly, this can be made to work; IIRC, nixos supposedly works fine like that. AFAIK, the idea being that you only need to put non-default settings in /etc.
That makes the term pretty much meaningless, or purely a marketing play.
I loved Seveneves but I disagree that it provides an indication of how one would face this kind of emergency. For sure one would not venture into space if one fears an onslaught of harsh gamma-ray radiation. It’s an entirely different kind of disaster.

No, often on HN threads regarding Mozilla (including this one already), people are suggesting that things are already hopeless for Mozilla, and the organization should just disappear. That is no longer giving feedback with an aim to helping an organization improve.
Ha, we have must very different experiences then. Volatile funding rates, frequent claw-backs and thin order books doesn't make for a perfectly fine USD; but maybe it's just me.
That really depends on the vaccine. What you are referring to is sterilizing immunity. Ie you don’t get sick at all and neither can you pass it on. The hopes for this kind of a vaccine aren’t very high.
I'm kinda surprised your guy got in trouble. Many banking places don't even drug test..
> Consistent with a causal channel, this effect is limited to third child births, is concentrated in households with access to a car, and is larger when a male is present (when both front seats are likely to be occupied).

Wait, is it usually legal to have a child seat in the front seat, except maybe in a two-seat car in any state with a child seat mandate?

If not—and it isn't in the mandates I'm familiar with—the data does not seem consistent with the proposed causal channel. Or, a least, that last bit about occupied front seat is irrelevant and unrelated.
The problem is less conditioning the extra space and more the fact that a good R-60 roof requires about twenty inches of fluffy insulation between the drywall ceiling and the roof deck.

Wow, I thought I was alone.
> It's somebody's job to take those accounts and present them to non-historians/muggles and they care very much that you feel connected to the past.

Yep. That's the job of writers of popular history books and school history textbooks, which historians themselves sometimes write, and creators of historical entertainment such as novels, plays, movies, and TV shows.
That reflects my childhood. HN is full of sheltered silver-spoon kids, or to use the current vernacular, unacknowledged class privilege.
This is not a USB-C problem.

Manufacturers treating users as stupid is the problem. USB-C is only one aspect.

If you look at specs from Apple, Nintendo and random-knock of brands from aliba.com, you will see that they only mention the ports. nothing else. Apple will sometime use a vague spec, like the wattage.

Now look at USB-C specs from HP and other more reputable sources. They will specify all the PD profiles, which thunderbolt version is supported, how many lanes, etc.

The same happens with WiFi devices. You will be lucky if lesser brands even mention the protocol, let alone antennae and MIMO details!

Same can be said of Bluetooth (from cars to headsets!) which will not say if they implement a specific profile or not, but will plaster "BLUETOOTH 5.0" on the box.

The irony, is that consumers see Apple and other offenders as having better products. Just look at this thread on how the very top voted comment is someone glad that it is convenient, even though the first reply to it is trying to explain how they can fry their devices, only to be replied by someone saying "i don't care, it worked fine with the one charger i tried".
He’s a truly wonderful person. ;)
As an aside, I really hope NCF gets access to Bell Fiber!
> Hacking would probably be a plus for a software enginer. They know how to debug systems.

They also apparently have poor judgement and/or security practices, if they got themselves convicted under CFAA or similar. And possibly questionable moral integrity depending on what and how they were hacking.

Background checks are not intended to evaluate skills but to find risks. Having a hacking conviction is generally not a positive signal.
It means master/apprentice not master/slave.

The logic behind the original first use of the name doesn't matter.

The way the word "master" is used in the default branch of git repos, is in the context of master/appearance not master/slave. And the way it is actually used is what matters, not the logic of why one person decided to use it.
Even the CKA exam administered by the Linux Foundation involved a invasive browser extension and similar monitoring. They support linux atleast, but only Chrome/Chromium. Can't find a link to the browser extension, but it shares the screen in a persistent manner from what I remember.

Of all possible responses to the GP, I think yours is the dumbest and least helpful. You've combined two strawmen, a false choice, and the least charitable interpretation of the GP into a single brain-dead one-liner.

The "economy" you speak of is not merely investment income for wealthy people, or whatever other expendable construct you made for yourself. It is our livelihoods. It's how we feed our children, provide shelter, education, security, and hope for the future. A destroyed economy destroys lives, and carries as many or even more risks to our physical and mental health as does the virus itself.

I'm someone who cares about people. The choice is not simply between the elderly and the economy, and we have enough tools and resources such that we don't have to sacrifice any group for any other. But if your strawman + false-choice were our reality, your priorities are fucked up. If, theoretically, you'd be willing to sacrifice the health and wellbeing of the vast majority of the worlds population to whom this virus is no more a threat than a severe seasonal flu, to preserve the few reamining years or months of life for the "elderly" (whatever that means to you), I would honestly feel justified in calling you heartless and irrational.
In the USA, of you want to use all the features, the IRS and many banks _require_ an cell phone registered in your name to prove your ID.

Assumedly, this number will not work for that...

EDIT:Bi previously said that the irs required you to have a phone in your name. That was incorrect.
I meant to refer to the full secure online access: You can verify by phone or mail, and they disabled mail option during covid a while ago.

The part about being pressured to post the statement about BLM may be true. Nothing wrong with pointing that out.

But then she starts to over-speculate about Armstrong's emotions without any basis and tries to frame him as an unstable person. All of this simply because Armstrong posted about his company's mission.

How would she feel if talking about her company's mission resulted in execs from other companies tweeting about her "having a meltdown", simply because she has a different political perspective?
I can't say I'm a big fan of firefox/mozilla, but I'm a huge fan of their attitude.
Even with your example, I'd say it's still strictly true that a proposition can not be modified without another direct democratic vote. In your example, even as the legislature performs legislation and the proposition allows, the proposition is unchanged and unchangeable by the legislature.

And the cases where a proposition can be meaningfully changed or adjusted by the legislature is vanishingly small.
I have reason to believe that the sentencing disparity is like the gender pay gap: easy to prove, if that helps your political goals, and also easy to disprove, if that suits you better.

Statistics is hard, and the entire reason there's leeway in sentencing is to account for situations which are resistant to statistical regularity.

There is, or was, a pretty obvious source of disparity in US law: freebase cocaine was a felony at much smaller quantities than cocaine salt, and the former was more likely to be used and dealt by black Americans.

Would that show up in such an analysis? They were different convictions, after all. So the only answer can be "yes or no", and so on ad infinitum.
agreed. I prefer your version of reality, I'm just not sure it's true.
Plenty of professionals hold unjustified opinions just for the sake of it. I don't see why you would think historians are exempt.
Here's a crazy idea: What if you had to actually get your PR merged to get a t-shirt?

HN is an internet forum. Obviously you shouldn't trust it.
The wires go through the holes next to the pin, not into the same hole. There's a million tutorials and examples online.

And you go the same route - cost and accessibility have nothing to do with "how easy". How would some beginner in a country with $300 average monthly income be able to 3d print stuff?

Advocating for SMD only is exclusionary delusional elitism, until working with SMDs becomes completely financially trivial for the majority of the world's would be electronics engineers.

> Would the only valid crimes be related to computer hacking?

Not necessarily. When working for a fintech or a bank, financial crimes can be very relevant. Writing bad code is, lucky me, not directly punishable as a crime.
> You seem to believe hiring large numbers of bodies mean they hired the best people.

Never said, implied, or believe any such thing. If anything, my last paragraph suggests the opposite. And I've been there so, unlike some, I know what I'm talking about.
I hope you can find this book because I'm one of those people who came from the rougher background and live in SV. I'd be interested to at least read a book summary! I have a peer who also came from a rougher background and she says I'm fucked because I still act like someone from that background on certain behaviors... and people from that background are looked down upon quite heavily here.

I have almost nothing in common in terms of background with the SV tech people. They're almost all rich kids.
I believe the average person will get most of their understanding of the past from time period movies and shows, purely constructed art forms.

At least this upscaling "medium" is tied directly to what was captured at the time.
Critique: the TOC is only shown in first post and not clickable, makes it hard to navigate the series. It would also be nice to have the TOC repeated in each post.

Question: I saw a chapter about unary functions. In some interpreters let bindings are explained as "sugar", or syntactic extensions on top of function calls. For instance `let` is not present in the core of scheme [1]. So in this way one could transform a let binding from:

(let ((a 1) (b 2)) (+ a b))

to:

((((lambda (a) (lambda (b) (+ a b))) 1) 2)

through:

(define-syntax let
(syntax-rules ()
[(_ ((x e) ...) b1 b2 ...)
((lambda (x ...) b1 b2 ...) e ...)]))

... then you wouldn't need to compile let bindings, just function application, which some people call "desugaring".

I was wondering if this kind of desugaring is used in practical lisp compilers or not... without knowing too much about lisp compilers, I imagine one reason to not go this way is that it could potentially generate way more code than compiling higher level concepts like `let` directly.

I know a guy who spent a year in federal prison on bogus wire fraud charges for an article published in a hacker magazine. He was afraid it would cripple his career, but the opposite was true.

No, my point was that your comment about Pixel 5 not having a headphone jack was a bit pointless, because no smartphone manufacturer offers a headphone jack in its flagship device in 2020.
It's one thing to own a printing press, but it is an entirely different league when you control the very language and its usage. This is a minor event in the larger context of control over the language of discourse.

1984 features control over language, and subsequent distortion of the meaning of words, as one of the main methods of societal control in the depicted dystopian society.

~

But playing this game can be fun! For example, my Apple Inc. supplied dictionary defines "main" using terms such as "dominance", "supreme", "paramount", "preeminent". So, it remains about "power", "position", and "authority".

As some suggested, "default" would have served the stated functional purpose of the word switch, without substituting one power word for another:

"a preselected option adopted by a computer program or other mechanism when no alternative is specified by the user or programmer: the default is fifty lines"
