the problem is that unlike chemical compounds, no two companies have exactly identical business models.

banning "specific" behaviors is the exact opposite of what you want, because then companies will rules-lawyer their way around it in the corporate equivalent of "I'm not touching you!"

what you need is strong bans on general patterns of activity such that companies decide it's better not to try and find the exact limit and just stay the hell away from it. The model here is fincen "structuring" - it is illegal to avoid financial controls, and it is illegal to try and find ways to get around the monitoring regimes. If you think you've found a clever way to avoid it, that is itself illegal and they will fuck your shit up.

It's not a popular sentiment here on HN where many people's salaries depend on pretending not to understand it, but this is what GDPR gets exactly right. There isn't a prohibition on specific usages of data, there is a blanket ban on using private customer data for any purpose that is not directly related to the provision of serve. People pretend not to understand it because they want to keep doing the things that are prohibited but the regulations are actually quite clear and quite simple. Could the service be provided without the use of the data? If no, use it. If it could, don't use it, and don't collect it. That's the bright-line. If you don't attempt to push the limit, structuring style, then you won't get in trouble.

I guess that depends much on whether the claim is that literally every human can draw ancestry back to this common pair, or merely the vast majority, because I'm fairly sure there are still "uncontacted" indigenous peoples in the Americas...
I do empathize with putting a priority of intention on setting up formative values and influences in their society rather than doing nothing about culture and relying reformative government programs - which clearly have their limits. Not in favor of the violence but the need for cultural integration is a real thing unless you want the planet sinking to the LCD.

You have to remember the truth about ads. They're not for the consumer, they're for gatekeeper.

Telescopes are one thing, but there is an impressive amount of stuff out there in "plain sight" that is invisible because it is too far at the edge of the visible spectrum, or too dim.

I've been recently doing a project to photograph a lot of these massive interstellar objects in the perspective of landscapes to show how visually big they are. For example, here's a picture I took of the Rosette Nebula rising over Mt. Shasta. The nebula is visually bigger than a full moon, you just can't see it easily with the naked eye: https://www.instagram.com/p/CCO0CmnnVkA/
What Is UX Design? Explained in 9 Easy Steps
It can be refreshing to see the top coders making mistakes and instructive to see how they debug on the fly. I went to a Meetup where Hadley Wickham was the speaker (data science celeb). He made a mistake when writing code to explain a concept and it was neat to see how he suspected what he'd done wrong, found the issue quickly, and corrected it.

As a result of a few recent Forth threads here, I first heard of STOIC on September 29th. (1 Week ago) Intrigued at the novel way it addressed the shortcomings of Forth which limited its use... I tracked down STOICAL. It really got me motivated, and I decided to download it and dive in.

At that moment, I had almost zero of the specific bits of knowledge required to make it work. I only used Linux sporadically. I never programmed in Linux. I actively avoided C for the last 40 years. Yet, I dug in.

Last night I got it compiled enough that it now starts up, and then hangs. This is a vast improvement from 2 days ago.
I now have WSL installed, with gcc, automake, and all manner of stuff required to make it go. I still use Notepad++ and windows to edit the source (as the /home/mike folder is visible as a network share) I've even got git/github going.

I know I'll get it up and running in short order. Then I'll start banging away at it until it matches my ideas of how it should work. My goal is to produce a Forth-ish compiler that doesn't get people intrigued but then run out of steam.

STOIC checks all the boxes, it's Imperative, Structured, Object Oriented, Functional, Concatenative and HomoIconic.

And right now.... it doesn't even boot... but it will!
That's programming!

The simplest and safest solution for sites would be to implement Content-Security-Policy with a good script-src (with limited sources and without the 'unsafe-inline' escape hatch).

Unfortunately, even HN itself uses a script-src with unsafe-inline, and it allows everything on cloudfare's CDN...
I saw the trailer for this documentary. I hope it succeeds; how this documentary differs from other stories about the history of personal computing is its coverage of personal computing after the 1980s and how personal computing has gone in directions that have unfortunately disappointed pioneers such as Alan Kay, where commercial pressures have deemphasized personal empowerment as a characteristic of personal computing, and how corporations have increased control over the personal computing experience. Hopefully this documentary will help spark some well-needed discussions about the future of personal computing.

Rationals are a strict subset of the reals.

There are also the irrationals, and most of those cannot even be expressed (fortunately, since they cannot be expressed, there's no chance of you bumping into them by accident - so it's somewhat of a moot point).

The subset that you want to aim for is not the rationals, but the definable reals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definable_real_number.

I’d be more worried about blood clots, but what do I know?
You are both correct. Immigration does increase GDP, and wages are also stagnant. The problem is that the GDP gains created by both immigrants and native born workers have concentrated in the holdings of the capitalist class (to which even many upper middle class Americans belong in varying degrees), because of low taxes and asset price inflation.

As a result, public investment funded via taxes has moved to deficit spending and sporadic and selective philanthropy, exacerbating both the inequality of wealth and opportunity.

I’ve never understood why there is no ‘in-sink’ dishwasher. Many American sinks have two basins, and the second basin often contains a dish rack for drying dishes. Why not just have a top cover that you lay over the second basin, that you could close?

There’s already a drain, so the water has somewhere to go. Ideally you could use the already existing faucet to provide the water source to negate the need for a pump — just attach the faucet to a spout, and it provides the pressure to wash the dish.

Since the racks are cheap, you could fill it up, turn on the dishwasher, and then just move it to the side to dry, and swap in the empty rack to start the process all over again.

Seems so obvious to me, and cheap to build too. Am I missing something?
I switched to fully remote work 2.5 years ago, and my tips are somewhat similar. All of these things have positively contributed to both my own well-being and job satisfaction, and they've been positively mentioned to me by higher ups in reviews and such. I didn't start these things with that intention but it has been a welcome side benefit - I started to do all this because working remotely left me feeling isolated and lonely. Now, things are pretty good and I can't really imagine going back to work in an office!

- Use Slack for water cooler talk, but not just "on brand" links like articles about software. Make or join a #videogames, #movies, #music, and/or #photography channel and talk with people outside your team. If it makes sense, some of these hobby channels can have little activities or contests. Our photography channel runs an inconsistently updated photography "contest", but mostly we just share our favorite shots and talk about gear we can't afford.

- Have a team happy hour about once every other week, during company time. We do ours on a Friday, just after 1pm for me (central time). It's late enough that many people are ready to relax a bit before the weekend but early enough to let the people on the west coast join. Just grab a drink (hard or soft) and talk about stuff!

- Do activities after hours with coworkers, if they're open to it. I run a bi-weekly movie night (on weeks we don't have the happy hour) and invite everyone on the team to come. Frankly, it's usually only a couple regulars, but those that come seem to enjoy it and it's really improved team camaraderie. On some nights we switch it for a game night. Among Us is a newer game that is absolutely perfect for this.

I have been using Erlang since 2008, and started using Elixir in 2014.

I much prefer the Elixir syntax. It files off the rough parts of the Erlang syntax, e.g. needing to keep track of commas, periods and semicolons at the ends of lines.
The most important thing Elixir adds, though, is lisp-style macros, which makes everything else easier.

This is the post which made me switch to Elixir: https://littlelines.com/blog/2014/07/08/elixir-vs-ruby-showd...
We get the best of both worlds: the ease of use of Rails with the power of Erlang.

Microsoft also provides migration tool but it doesn't really help much. Our analysis shows that we need to rewrite large part of our backend as part of migration effort.
You're right, of course: "human beings cant take the truth and consequences." "That is exactly accurate [...] That's a fact" - both true. I think the issue is less truth and more action, as in "I believe it to be immoral to act upon that fact in manner X."

I can come up with a dozen logical statements that are equally correct and immoral to act upon in certain ways. If an ML algorithm had come up with them, they would be no less correct and no less immoral. For example, "If a woman applicant is pregnant, she will take maternity leave and be less productive year 1. Therefore, we should not hire her." <- likely correct, definitely immoral (imo).

COMPAS drew a number of objective conclusions and ties them to specific recommendations in its intended use:
(1) if you're poor, you're more likely to recidivate. Therefore, you should get a longer sentence.
(2) if you live in a black community, you're more likely to recidivate. Therefore, you should get a longer sentence
(3) if you're related to a gang member (not just one yourself - even if your estranged brother joined a gang a decade ago), you're more likely to recidivate. Therefore, you should get a longer sentence.

Notice: the "you should get a longer sentence" bit is actually part of the tool. That was the intervention it was designed to suggest. There's a number of critiques of that connection (mathematical, legal, moral), but it's not mine, nor is it the "AI's"; it's Northpointe's. And ultimately that's the scandal & intrigue: the math is right logically, but even so, the tool's recommendation is wrong ethically.

This is tricky. She is still paying for it because when she buys a box of cereal from the store, X% of the price goes to the ad budget, Y% of which goes to Google, and Z% of that goes to the Chrome developers. She also pays by getting a lower wage, because if most of the people had to pay $1/month for a browser, the salary cutoff point, beyond which people would simply not want to work, would be $1 higher. And then through supply/demand, it would slightly raise the average salaries. And, BTW, she would have one more opportunity to save money by not paying for a browser, and instead reading from a library computer. Or maybe using a cheaper volunteer-maintained Linux-like browser.

The thing is, money is just a token of passing value between people. If Alice is developing the browser and Bob is using it, there will be a mechanism to pass value from Bob to Alice to compensate for it. It can be either straight-forward (putting Bob in control) or centralized (through some social program, or ad revenue or whatever), but there will be one. Otherwise, Alice would spend her day playing ping-pong with friends, or cycling, or whatever people do when they don't have to work.

BTW, I do think that many social problems we are recently facing come from the fact that people are getting more disconnected from consciously producing value. If the abstract mother in Bronx had a clear path to making more money by opening a business and selling something to others, she would take that chance. And she would happily grow as a person and respect others who went the same path, regardless of their skin color. Except how many % of your monthly budget have you spent on owner-operated businesses vs. sector monopolies that treat people like drones and de-facto discourage professional growth to keep people more replaceable? That might also answer the question why the median salary in most areas barely covers rent, while the stock market is record high. Except instead of asking those questions and finding a way for people to contribute value in each others' lives without middlemen, we are turning tribal and trying to blame races, genders and political affiliations for a problem that truly affects us all.
Yep. The safety of nuclear depends of governments 50-100+ years in the future continuing to maintain and provide for the upkeep of the facilities. If they won't even do it now how the hell can we expect them to do it continuously for 100+ years?

It's absolutely insane to me that people on this site can be so distrustful of government when it comes to things like privacy/encryption/etc, and so trustful for things like continuing to provide funding for maintenance of nuclear facilities, especially given current governments have proven themselves undeserving of trust in either regard.

I've been using caprover from the early days, and I've seen how much work githubsaturn has put into making it really easy to use.

I think digital ocean has left a lot to be desired on their new offering, which could have been avoided, if they considered collaborating.

And ofcourse I never said digital ocean is just rsync. Just like caprover isn't just docker swarm. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

But their new offering is definitely inferior in terms of functionality.
Of course, special characters that are already escaped, i.e. already valid in a text node, don't need to be escaped again.

Even PHP provided a function to do that 20 years ago. It should be relatively straightforward in any modern language with regexp support.

There's a chrome extension called "Amazon Lite" that removes all these sponsored ads and listings from your searches.

It's still an excellent extension that does what it promises. I suggest giving it a shot.

The largest example would be undocumented immigrants and it seems fairly mediocre. A large portion of the country resents them, there's large demographic/cultural changes, another portion of country/political class wants to provide citizenship/welfare(voiding the GP's calculus), racial/cultural tensions are still issue.

Well heeled thinktanks can continue to try and bamboozle people but after watching every contracting crew in my area become 99% low paid latino immigrant I have no reason to want the same thing to happen to software development when it's one of the few remaining paths to a nice middle class life. I guess I'm supposed to retrain as an attorney or something right?
All that will happen now is the manual UI testing position that would have been hired in the US will now be done back in India as companies scramble to deal with this situation. They'll probably do the work for even less, companies and teams and infrastructure will expand in India to do the work, and taxes and spin-off benefits to the US economy will be lost.

Or alternatively (and quite likely) we'll just hire that potential candidate up here in Canada; growing our tech industry further and competing with American workers in the same time zones and language as you, with a just-as or better educated work force, and a for lower cost to the employer and in a culture that on the whole appreciates immigrants more.

The US Visa system sounds completely broken, but this doesn't sound like a good fix. I suspect the way forward is a skills-based immigration system (combined with a robust refugee and compassionate family reunification system) like in other western countries, but that is likely not going to be politically possible from either party down there.
I don't think they ever needed the ability to tap phones or read mail. Capabilities that were repeatedly abused, just like internet surveillance.

I have one of these fanless Ryzen V1605B iBOX-V1000M bricks with 32GB ECC running Ubuntu 20.04:

https://mitxpc.com/products/ibox-v1000

I bought it from that page. I wanted fanless silence and I wanted ECC and it took me a long time to find this machine but found it I did and it works. Linux reports seeing the ECC is indeed enabled (edac-utils?). Measured with a Kill-a-Watt meter it does consume more than 20W (maybe 30ish IIRC?). I actually disabled some Linux power management though to get bluetooth mice and keyboards to not lag after being idle for 5 seconds so my system might draw more power than others. Drives a 4K display buttery smooth, can watch all the YouTube and Netflix you want on Linux.
