Marktplaats is not an auction place, it is a market place (kind of like Craigslist). They never changed that, and eBay Netherlands has always remained a niche.
The last video in the article, with the British prime minister is very good. This is going to be interesting going forward. Anyone could start denying anything they said on camera and claim deep fake. A lot of people seem to not want to really try to discern some truth in what is being said by politicians, so deep fakes as a tool could be useful even by just claiming they are used.
Ah yes the "nothing can ever change" argument. It's the reason we still code everything in FORTRAN and COBOL.
Why is voice audio always so hard to get right? Seems like it should be easier than video because the data rate is lower than video but computer generated audio has always been terrible.
From my experience, at least around 10% CPU util (I have seen upto 30%) goes towards JSON wrangling that is inherently a part of microservices. I understand that there are better options like rpc etc but all these will inevitably be worse pure function calls.
Why is this about "a woman in tech"?

It seems it's just a story that happens to anyone who gets 15 min fame by some post.

There is research on this in the field of existential risk. I don't remember where exactly but it's formulated as the number of people one person can kill with easily accessible products. In particular biotech is becoming more and more accessible, which great, but has a big impact on that index. There is a great defcon talk by a doctor working at Intel I think.
This does not acknowledge that code styles can be compared in objective ways.

What is more readable?

# Expression 1
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

# Expression 2
10

One requires to do 9 arithmetic operations in your head, perhaps more than once if you lost count, the other one doesn't.

You can compare code in terms of length, nesting, cyclomatic complexity, number of negations, number of inputs, etc. It's not just subjective bikeshedding.

2-3 years ago it was the Wealthfronts and Betterments of the world ruling the roost. the conventional wisdom is that most traders lose money and would be better off putting it into ETFs and mutual funds and it seemed to be winning. Bloomberg wrote fret pieces about whether there'd be anybody left to trade. now it's reversing, degeneracy is on the rise, and individual traders are 20% of equity trading volumes.

That's whats nonobvious. saying "well of course" dismisses this broader trend which is the institutional validation of something that's been extremely nonobvious.

That package is incredibly immature. It couldn’t actually render almost anything the last time I tried it.
For the vast majority of use cases, you should probably be pre-generating these anyways, and for the few use cases where content would be constantly changing, client-side rendering makes way more sense.
At least some part of it has to be the amount of attention these news pieces get on wsb itself. The subreddit has about 1.5 million subscribers. Any news piece by Bloomberg or Wallstreetjournal talking about r/wallstreetbests instantly gets posted over there and usually garners huge amounts of upvotes. Pretty much free traffic/ad impressions.

The right-wing terrorists they just arrested in Michigan posted about their plans in private Facebook groups. This is probably much more common than criminals with any understanding of OPSEC. They’re not smart, but they’re still dangerous.

Not that I’m arguing for these backdoors; just pointing out that “but criminals can still encrypt their messages” is mostly irrelevant.
it was less relevant than my comment, which was already not very relevant.

oh? They added full support to non-english characters some time ago. Maybe take a look in the flashing website tool?

For me, it took a laptop with a full non-english keyboard that enabled me to program it to whatever I wanted to (e.g. "this key is _press laptop localized key here_ that non-english char") but once programmed, it works as expected.

Granted, my non-english characters are still in latin characters though.

McCarthyism was bad and I see what you’re saying but it isn’t quite the same thing. McCarthyism wasn’t really about government control but about a sort of mass hysteria. It was more like the Salem witch trials.

Much of the rhetoric during the Cold War actually made these types of government activities unacceptable to the average person because not doing these things was used to differentiate the US from the Soviets. “Microphones in every house? What is this, Soviet Russia?”
This claim is weird. “A lot” — well wait, how much is a lot? I tried to look, but a couple cursory searches yielded little in the way of attempts to quantify the amount of “opportunistic crime” versus premeditated. And frankly, going by raw quantity might not be good enough. How much damage are they doing relative to premeditated crime? Shoplifting a candy bar versus a murder, you know.

I also wonder if this has much to do with this article. If you are conversing about future criminal activity on Facebook or SMS, can you argue it was not premeditated in some fashion?

And even if this makes sense... how much loss of our personal freedoms is it worth to eliminate xx% of crime? (And, is it possible that there are better ways, like perhaps looking at the causes rather than trying to curb the effects...)
Ask HN: What are some good methods to prove current time?
I know I can film a current newspaper to prove one side, how do I prove the other side? In other words how can I prove the current time of message? I think this should be possible but every idea I come up with, it seems to be possible to fake in the future tense.

Is live streaming the only true method? Or am I missing something?
I think he gets it totally wrong, the microphones (private assistants) the camera (your smart-tv) and the rest (IoT-Devices) all come from Private Company's and often from a completely different Country...what the Government missed is to protect us from them (private/~state company's) it would be really interesting how many "SmartTVs etc" recorded quite important company-meetings.

Reminds me of Mark-Jason Dominus's teflon tape:

A few months ago, I had a leaky shower head, so I went to the hardware store to get some putty or caulk or something to fix the leak. But when they found out what I wanted it for, they sold me teflon pipe thread tape instead. The tape fills up the gap between the head and the pipe just fine, it's waterproof, and it's very slippery, so it's easy to put the shower head on and take it off again. Also you can remove it easily, even years later. I had never heard of teflon pipe thread tape, but it was just what I needed, and much better than the caulk would have been.
I get two reactions from people I tell this story to. Some people say ``Teflon pipe thread tape! Wow, I never heard of that before; I'll have to remember it.'' And some people interrupt me right at the beginning and say ``You should use teflon tape for that, you know.''

This talk is about teflon pipe thread tape. It's also about hose clamps, self-chalking plumb lines, mending plates, WD-40 in a spray can, and a whole bunch of other stuff. None of this stuff is specially magical; that's the point. Each of these tools will make half the people in the audience say ``Well, of course! Everyone knows about that.'' But the other half will say ``Wow! I never heard of that before, but now I don't know how I ever got along without it.''

This is the natural contradiction in stock buying advice.

What has happened is sheer incompetence in a field that has been mature for decades in how to do things reliably, even without grand "data science leader" titles.

A culture of rigour, discipline, and I will add of "getting things done", is sorely needed.

More generally, the track and trace system in the UK is poor. This has a lot to do with the above but also with lack of political courage and leadership.

Unfortunately it is difficult to suggest that the NHS might need to change, it is taboo subject.

I tried the K&F Concept lens adapter, but the big caveat is the sensor size difference, so effectively you get a huge zoom factor. Using the Kit lens from my Canon, I either need to put the camera module meters away from my face or meeting participants are only going to see my nose. :)
I like your approach much better, the linked article just seems wasteful.

>No, Chrome was not faster at the time. It was slower on all speed benchmarks.

Chrome when released on September 2008 had the faster Javascript v8 engine. (Built by Lars Bak team in Denmark.) The improved performance was very noticeable on js heavy websites like Google Maps when scrolling the map and zooming in and out.

A paper[1] showing Chrome winning on various performance benchmarks matches my recollection of performance differences.

Also, Chrome's per-process isolation for each tab also made it more stable when dealing with buggy websites (bad javascript code leaking memory). Firefox would crash more often. The tradeoff was that Chrome used a lot more RAM than Firefox.

Adding to this, LaTeX is entirely incapable of producing even remotely accessible PDFs. If you're extremely lucky, you might be able to copy a single word or even multiple, but line breaks, inline equations and basically anything else breaks it entirely, which is not only incredibly annoying for citing things, but makes it entirely unusable for visually-impaired people.

Additionally, if equations are the the main appeal of it, how have we not made anything better? Why can't I plug the same code that renders my paper into a solver or convert it into Julia and run it? Like, properly, not just by guessing. I get that *tex is a typesetting language, but we're not typesetters!
Huh, interesting. I already bend my arm at the elbow when using the trackpad. However, I find the finger position painful if I'm using the trackpad intensively for a while (think lots of scrolling during random web browsing).

A few months ago I have discovered the joys of using a trackball and I think a great setup would be to fit the that between the halves of a split keyboard. I suppose a Kinesis Freestyle or similar could accommodate that.

That being said, even though I absolutely love the mbp trackpad and find the keyboard ok-ish (I have an older, 2013 model), I don't like using it with an external screen. It feels somehow off.
The interesting question is, why do we still read these things? We already kind of know what they are going to say, and we already have well informed and stable opinions about them. I think personally deep down maybe I'm hoping they're going to convince me that what I say does actually matter to someone else... I'm yet to be convinced ;-)

If automated fake news detectors are to work, I think it has to be via propositional logic. Not "x is false" but "if you believe x then you must logically also believe y, which according to your user proposition record, you don't. You might want to revise you beliefs, or alternatively add some new propositions to resolve this contradiction."

A recent DPRK documentary pointed out that while a monochrome society used to be one of their explicitly propagandised goals, over the past decade they've become much more colourful. (under the influence of chinese tourists?)

There was a marketing theory I ran across back in the twentieth century, that societal colour palettes change in predictable ways. IIRC it was something like clothing is the first place a palette changes, then cars, then home appliances. But my memory is not the best.

The opposite reasoning from dusty white cars occurs for witches: they always have black cats, because who wants to always be cleaning white fur off the robes and pointy hat?

I think white cars are commonly preferred in hot climates, as there is a noticeable difference in the inside temperature of a white vs black that have both stood parked in the sun for most of the day.
Actually often I wish that AI papers contained code instead of math so that it's clearer how it can be implemented, and how the variables are used. It would make the papers a bit longer, but implementations easier to understand.

>In other words how can I prove the current time of message?

In many countries you can have a statement you wrote signed, dated and stamped by the state authorities that verifies not the truth of the content, but that _you_ wrote it (and the specific time). You need to fill a form, take it to a state office, and present your ID to them for them to stamp and approve it.

In the US I find that this is called a "statutory declaration":

A statutory declaration is a document that formalizes matters to be made known publicly. It is a solemn statement made by plaintiff or witnesses instead of the oath, but equally binding.

Statutory declaration is a legal document based on statute law as to their format and content requirements. Statutory declarations are of the same force and effect as if sworn under oath or affirmation.

What's wrong with flat data? Why is nested data better than flat data? If you think about it, there's really nothing wrong with either.

The only reason you would want to structure your data like that is if you want to think about the Box as a whole from a more abstract level.

But there's nothing wrong with writing an entire app that focuses on the measurement of the left bottom side of a box. If that's the requirement, than there's no need to define the measurement as part of a higher order type "Box" if you're not doing anything with the other measurements.
