If you're a tech entrepreneur, this should worry you regardless. Any industry that the Indian government meddles in eventually gets regulated to death. You have to pay bribes for X or Y license or permission.

The tech industry thrived precisely because there is little regulation.

If your apps have to go through the Indian government to be published, be prepared to pay bribes to pass through the regulatory hurdles and needless paperwork.

No Indian government in my living memory has worked to reduce regulations and compliance, including the current one.

It seems the west doesn't care about what's happening to them domestically, but this is news & very bad when it happens to them in China;

It's universally bad, and just because the side effects are smaller in the west doesn't justify tracking & the police state of not having the "wrong opinions"(yes it obviously happens everywhere, and not just for the sake of national security)

By the way don't bring Europe up in this, because i can assure you that as an european it is not true what americans & others are fed to them, that somehow we are being respected in terms of privacy & tracking. We're not, in some cases it's way worse over here(see Germany and especially UK).

Well thank you, you are very kind to say that.

I do have to confess my superpower though: the subtle smoothing that ziteboard.com and our friend irskep's browserboard.com apply. Without that, the writing would not be nearly as pleasant to look at.
Just wanted to say that this seems like a very weird statement to me.
I don't consider motherhood to be anything easy but valuing something majority of women can do over 'anything', however revolutionary, amazing or generally helpful a person can do at work seems almost insulting.

I agree with this. I also had significant success by permanently alleviating the major symptoms of ADHD (like bumping into walls, not cleaning room, not being able to pay bills on time) with 1 trip of LSD about 8 years ago. I don't even drink coffee, and I'm getting by with the occasional bouts of anxiety which I can deal with separately. I also occasionally do Ayahuasca for trauma/childhood healing work - which I suspect many people with ADHD have.

I found it weird that people can get banned for talking about their anecdotal experiences with psychedelics on the ADHD subreddit too. Seems like some people are more comfortable being with the ADHD community and sticking with the status quo regimens, than actually doing something completely new.
Ah i see I had misread your comment as “most people aren’t using rust for embedded” rather than “most people doing embedded aren’t using rust”, sorry about that.

Great idea! I think this is the way to make this more relevant and easier to consume.

Besides, I think the point of the exercise is not to "know" that reading 1MB sequentially from memory is 250K ns but rather that it is worth 50K branch mispredicts. Knowing these numbers won't make you a better engineer, but being able to compare them (and influence your design decisions with it) will.

Though every now and then you get some time-critical tasks in which case the actual numbers might matter. But I imagine at that scale so much more factors will influence your execution that ballpark estimates are nowhere close to tight. Sure 1KB over 1Gbps is 10K ns and you can extrapolate from that how long your 1TB data migration will take. Then it's more worthwhile to check Grafana and reason out from the bandwidth trend.
I just would like to say that requiring a flight to be able to focus is absolutely ridiculous.

I think the question already starts off in the wrong direction. There are no tricks which solve the problems completely. It would be like asking for a trick to gain muscles or a trick to learn Spanish. The trick for both is: do the work. I'd argue that it is the same for focus. For example, Einstein was able to work through the sound of his crying baby [1]. Ignoring the questionable fatherhood practices, it shows that Einstein did not need a trick to get into the flow.

Doing the work implies that you optimize for doing the work. For one, that means reducing the number of possible distractions. Two great examples are Donald Knuth and Linus Torvalds. Knuth, doesn't read his emails or letters for extended periods of time and Linus' workplace is a desk staring straight to a white wall. Both people have clearly optimized for avoiding distractions and they seem to have come quite far with their lifes. If you want to hear a similar message about cutting distractions from an ex-Navy SEAL, then see Jocko [2].

Note that my examples do assume an, lets say, average Hacker News individual. Of course, if you have ADD or live under the poverty line then hearing that you "should just focus" is as unhelpful as telling a depressed person to be happy.

My first three tests of anything like this are:

1. Does it keep up with rapid movement? (If something fails this, it’s a total non-starter.)

2. Does the eraser on the back of my pen work? (If not, it’s very frustrating and a very bad sign.)

3. Does pressure sensitivity vary the thickness of lines? (I just find it’s a bad sign if something lacks this—tools that support pressure sensitivity seem to pretty consistently be far better than tools that don’t.)

Witeboard fails all three, badly. So no way am I ever going to use it.

Ziteboard is a bit better at #1 (though still not good), but fails #2 and #3 and has hideous latency and accuracy as well—it’s postprocessing strokes heavily, which makes sense for mouse but shouldn’t be done either at all or as much for a pen. So I’m not going to use Ziteboard either, it’s unpleasant to use.

Browserboard is the worst of the three: hideous latency, terrible accuracy, missing the start and end of each stroke, and fails all three.

I’m using Firefox on Windows on a Surface Book. I know much better is possible, because I wrote a simple, local, pressure-sensitive drawing tool some years back (in the early days of pointer events), and it worked just about as well as local apps like Microsoft Whiteboard or Krita or GIMP do. All three of these tools just seem to be making rookie errors like doing too much processing probably on the main thread, and skipping coalesced events. (Those are my guesses of the problems, as a developer that has dealt with this space.) None of them are good; Ziteboard is merely the least terrible.
It said “write anywhere” but it didn’t tell me why I should or what would happen so I closed it.

Why not just work with people you enjoy working with on your own research independently?

If it provides someone with value, sure you can raise funds and generate revenue and dedicate your life for research. Of course it's easier said than done, but it's possible. Why not?

I believe that research-oriented tech startups can change the world and create/dominate new/emerging industries.

You'll have more skin in the game tying your research to a business, which will probably make you think bigger and change the world.

If done right (financing your research), you can have people more experienced than you are work with you, and learn from them.

when I say package model, its short hand for a dependency graph model between packages where packages can easily be installed and upgraded independently with whatever dependencies that they need to be installed along with them.

Yeah, that incremental line smoothing makes such a difference. Ziteboard is pretty good and I have no complaints about it - my writing seems a bit angular in realtime, but seeing that almost-immediate smoothing makes me think "Yeah, that's exactly what I meant to write."

141 000 Quebecois have Alzheimer or any other kind of neuro-degenerative disease, for 8.4 millions of people in Quebec.

That's 1.7% in Quebec vs 1.7% in Ontario. Bilinguism does not seem to protect people much outside of Barcelona.

EDIT: British Columbia has apparently somewhere around 70 000 people living with dementia for a population of 5.07 millions, which is about 1.4%.

I’m not sure what you think you’re going to prove by point out one example (which you yourself describe as being a comparatively isolated country).

The total population of multilingual people is obviously quite hard to measure. But every study I’ve seen has put it above 50% of the worlds population, with English being the most common second language choice. EU stats on Poland say 1/4 of its population speak a second language well enough to hold a conversation, with the most popular languages being English, German and Russian, in that order.

I can't tell if you're spouting off propaganda or are just very naive about the Internet. While US companies have a huge presence on the Internet there's plenty of huge non-English language sites that have next to no presence in the US but are extremely popular in their linguaspheres.

The norms you're seemingly complaining about are pretty common in Western-style liberal democracies. It's not like US companies are exporting many norms that aren't common to most first world countries. Cryptocurrencies abound so I don't see why you're complaining about filters.

As for nudity norms...when the fuck has the Internet not been rife with nudity. If you can't find nudity on the Internet I'm wondering if your WiFi is working correctly.

Really it seems you're trying to project onto the US/US companies the sort of filtering and censorship Russia and China (to name two countries) engage in with gusto. They have "enclaves" because they actively block foreign sites and services from their citizens.

The Trump administration's efforts against TikTok and WeChat face legal challenges in the US and have a good chance of being struck down as unconstitutional. Despite fantasies by the current administration to the contrary the US is not an authoritarian dictatorship. They can't just unilaterally block a foreign website without some due process.
No, because you’re pushing the choice on the applications giving them more opportunities to screw up. If your data is already typed and something is a string odds are the application will either just follow that lead or look up why the data format authors picked that type in case it’s important or relevant.

UN: Big Data for Sustainable Development
As the Disney+ versions gradually become the canonical releases of all Disney movies, I wouldn't be surprised if they retcon a number of their movies. There's already been blatant examples like adding Hayden Christensen to Return of the Jedi[1], but they've also changed movies like Lilo & Stitch, Toy Story 2, Splash, etc and I think it will only get more prevalent as time goes by (although I'm sure the changes will be similar to the ones mentioned in the article- removing some of the darker aspects of their stories, or ones that might offend more puritan viewers.)

[1]: I realize this change was pre-Disney+, but presumably Disney has the rights to previous cuts of Star Wars in addition to the "Special" ones

Ask HN: What are the best sites to get book recommendations?
I often struggle a bit to find something new to read after I finish a book on my Kindle. Despite having my entire reading history for the last few years, most of Amazon’s recommendations might as well be generated at random.

I’ve tried Goodreads, which is maybe a bit better but still not that impressive, it feels like it is just showing me highly rated books from categories I’ve read rather than anything cleverer.

Are there any sites/services out there which give better recommendations? I’m mainly thinking fiction here, but not exclusively. I’m happy to share my Kindle history in order to do this, if that’s possible.

I guess I’m imaging something as relevant as, for example, Spotify’s recommendations! It would also be interesting to get people’s input on why it is (apparently) more challenging to do this for books rather than music.
> Yes. It's very tricky to react to because people get angry. If you just go in public and pick someone and start pushing them, if you keep pushing them, they're going to slug you; it's just how it's going to work, at the individual level but also at the group level too. I'm also speaking metaphorically, in a sense. Of course if you hit them, they're going to fall down and go, "Oh, God, you're violent. You're a Nazi!"

So this is where all those "car rams protesters" headlines come from. They surround a car, attack it, and when inevitably someone speeds off regardless, that's the headline.

A typical example, with some footage of cars being hit and even shot at, yet somehow the report places all the blame on the drivers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYsGoUeVEYA
The title is a bit misleading because the changes weren't to the movies themselves but to the sources during adaptation. The subtle difference is that none of these were in the films script in pre production so weren't changes to the film in production, with the exception of fantasia.

Having worked in the animated film industry for a while, there's so much that does get changed in both pre production and production that people don't hear about.

Some of the best received animated films have been stinkers internally until something clicks. Whether that's rewriting a critical character a few months from delivery to throwing out entire sequences.

Similarly many poorly received films were great in production but after focus testing and suits getting involved, they get diluted down. Sometimes entire finished sequences get cut leaving the remaining shots from making sense to an audience.

Film making is a very organic process, sometimes good and sometimes not. There's this Illusion in public that what the public sees is the directors initial vision. But largely it's the work of hundreds of people, morphing over time to try and find what will be right.
The methodology reminded me of Feynman's story about the "Young's 1937 rats study". The conclusions could have been better supported with simpler yet better methodology (given that, of course, from the nature of subject under study it can only reveal correlations, and could fail to detect unknown confounding factors).

They could have actually gone to hundreds of elderly homes in Barcelona or, for that matter, better, in places where everyone is mostly actively bilingual (central/north Catalonia?) and regions where people are mostly monolinguals (Castille?) and requested anonymized data from medical records with that information (actively spoken languages vs. mental condition), or if that information was not available, to actually request it to be collected across all these centers, and then establish much stronger correlations.

edit: I originally wrote "the methodology was unnecessarily weak for the conclusions", which was wrong to say from my side. We cannot always do what would be best but must do with what is available to us.

My experience running my own comment system is eventually you'll get spammed in bulk. Then, if you didn't make some kind of management UI you'll have to create one or write scripts/queries to try to repair the damage.

This is one of many reasons first switched to wordpress before going static and using disqus. I switched to wordpress because I got tired of having to add features to my blog software (whatever the must have feature of the day was, RSS, Atom, Trackback, etc etc etc..) and because I got spammed and had only written the code for posting comments, not for managing. Wordpress's anti-spam Akismet, failed for me though. Too much spam came through adding to my workload. So I switched to disqus.

At the time, and maybe this is still true, disqus would put the comments in your wordpress database so if you ever decided to quit disqus you still had the comments.

Then eventually I got tired of the extra work of wordpress itself (having to update monthly) and went static + disqus.

I get the entire point is you probably don't like disqus because you're being tracked and/or want a different UX etc, and you should do whatever you want. There is enjoyment making your own systems. I wanted to blog to share things though and maintaining a comment system was time not writing posts.
