> Democrats haven’t been raising 230 regulation though

They may not be raising specifically 230 concerns. But democrats are absolutely bringing up anti-trust concerns regarding major tech company.

Arguably, anti-trust breakup of major tech companies would be much more destructive to those tech companies, than merely removing some tech companies ability to moderate content.
IAP is Google’s concrete implementation/product, BeyondCorp is the overall philosophy (not a product)
I'm wondering, doesn't the concept of temperature change with pressure? For example, homemade fusion reactors operate at low pressures but at a temperature higher than the sun. So, if this circuit is operating at a high pressure, then isn't surrounding room temperature relatively low? At the mechanical level, a substance held between carbon diamond anvils isnt free to change momentum or kinetic energy due to the kinetic impacts of room temperature air, vapor, or plasma.

Second question, do virtual particles have the same Casimir effects in this apparatus, as we would see in low pressure experiments? If you're interested, also checkout the results published recently on measuring the Casimir force. Reference: “Casimir spring and dilution in macroscopic cavity optomechanics” by J. M. Pate, M. Goryachev, R. Y. Chiao, J. E. Sharping and M. E. Tobar, 3 August 2020, Nature Physics.

"We just had a massive bleaching event, but we know from past research that corals are able to recover from the brink of death."

In terms of work hours, tech is awesome. Some work full time at nights, many get flexible hours. Hourly rates are excellent. Some might say WFH is hard; but at least we get such jobs.

The downside is you don't really shut off. A problem may take days or weeks of thinking to solve. You might be home but still spaced out, thinking of work, and I doubt everyone on HN browses tech stuff only during work hours.
This article is garbage for so many reasons. The worst offense is using the "don't be afraid to pursue your dreams" nonsense. That line is so old and cliche and that's not even the real takeaway here.

The most important takeaway for all you up-and-coming-CTOs-and-Founders is "Be the type of leader that can bring 40 of your engineers with you to your new company".

40 engineers is staggering. That's an instant engineering org. You start the ground running and you all have a common history and language. I would easily wager that Zoom wouldn't be the company it would be if Yuan wasn't the leader that could attract 40 current workers to his startup.
My sense is that existing physical access exploits have relied on legacy assumptions that shouldn't exist for wifi/bluetooth - hopefully no-one is building systems that give wifi devices direct memory access, or boot over bluetooth. They'll need some level of management interface, certainly, but that's likely to be something purpose-built and more tightly constrained.
One's man disinformation is another man's propaganda.

What is the bigger issue at play? I honestly cannot see a bigger issue than a society wide decree on what can and cannot be uttered. To me, the notion of being able to say what I want to say without the reprisal of "globally dominant companies today"/government/we, is so ingrained that it is possible that I genuinely cannot see the forest for the trees.

Great. And now I feel like a Boy Scout reciting badly written essay about why I love America.

For me there is no bigger issue.
It’s funny to me because git seems like it would be the worst, but is the widest adopted scm by non-programmers from anything I’ve seen.

It has more users, I think, than even the “visual” source control systems that are supposed to be more usable.

In this particular case, I think Google is far more worried about new legislation passing that would redefine what "anti-competitive" means, such that it's definitely applicable to Google - and that its own employees pointing out instances of monopoly abuse would contribute to the probability of such a law, and its severity.

But in this context, from the perspective of society as a whole trying to decide what the law should be, the personal opinion of Google employees does matter, regardless of what's presently legal.

Even for a democratic country, the problem is that sometimes it takes too long for "Truth to win out". We're seeing this more and more with social media and "anyone can publish" combined with the speed of the internet. Sure, the truth may eventually win out regarding whether or not drinking bleach is a good idea, but several people have gotten badly hurt and/or died before the "truth won out". Or consider how many innocent children may have died due to the anti-vaxxers? A related aphorism comes to mind. "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

Consider this quote from a recent NY Times article[1]

"These scholars argue something that may seem unsettling to Americans: that perhaps our way of thinking about free speech is not the best way. At the very least, we should understand that it isn’t the only way. Other democracies, in Europe and elsewhere, have taken a different approach. Despite more regulations on speech, these countries remain democratic; in fact, they have created better conditions for their citizenry to sort what’s true from what’s not and to make informed decisions about what they want their societies to be. Here in the United States, meanwhile, we’re drowning in lies."

> Confusingly, sometimes Amazon pages for out-of-stock items include a button to notify when something is back in stock, but most don't. They just say "we don't know if or when this will be in stock."

I think that’s a difference between a seller “owning” the listing for an FBA SKU such that Amazon can see in their intake logistics that more of that item is coming to their warehouse; vs. a non-FBA SKU where they don’t have that visibility; or vs. an item that has gone defunct where no seller is claiming responsibility for restocking the SKU any more.
I kept the headline from one of the previous articles because it seemed the most neutral. If anyone wants to suggest a better (i.e. more accurate and neutral) title, we can change it again.
Moreover, even if they were the same devs, they're all working on such small parts of a bigger product that no one person or team is responsible for any of the compounding decisions that lead to this.

I've always hoped that something, anything, would kill SPIN studios. Seems my prayers has been miraculously granted albeit at a high cost for many.

Still, all in all, worth it: SPIN studios are bad loud music blasted out by a-holes in hard-walled rooms with 20 expensive largely unoccupied single-purpose SPINcycles and doors open (so "they can breathe"), polluting the entire gym with their noise (as well as COVID-19 apparently).

Screw 'em and melt down those SPINcycles into something useful, like paperclips.
I’ve been told by an ex-Cisco employee of that timeframe that Cisco was full of politics.

The way people who worked there talked reminded me of how IBM people talked when I interned there. It was all about who was the boss of who. Virtually no talk of technical topics. Lots of talk about which organization would be on the chopping block next.

Supposedly their interview process was a joke as well as people got hired into positions without a technical interview.
Show HN: App to create object detection projects without coding
Thank you to everyone who uses our website. We are fortunate to have been able to run it for so long.

Hi all!

My team has been working on a B2B visual recognition startup, but we think we may make our platform available for anyone. The idea is that anyone can make an image recognition app without coding. The app could be used as an object recognizer or a visual dictionary.

The app has image management and content management features for creators. Then public users can use its search function. If you have a team, you can manage access control within the app.

We are not in the situation where we can make automatic sign-up yet. Though the product is ready, our idea in terms of business is still very early. For now, you all can try our app, just give me an extra step to create an account for you.

I am interested in why you felt the need to make the comment, though? Because it can come across jaded like, "yeah yeah, seen it all before, there's nothing new here", which is sort of like throwing cold water on it, which can reduce the odds of positive change happening.
> That is clearly wrong if one is willing to take a moment to stop gazing at the wonder of pure mathematics and look at the outside world. There is no notion of "correctness" for the pyramids of Egypt, the dykes of the Netherlands, Milan Cathedral, or the world economy and yet those huge-scale systems all function.

Wow, couldn't disagree with this more, at least on your examples of civil engineering (buildings, dikes). There are testable, comprehensive physical principles that govern whether any of these engineered products function in their most fundamentally-intended ways. This is the reason most buildings are resilient and don't collapse under load, or that dams keep water from flowing uncontrolled. You can debate "correctness" in the sense of the purpose the product serves, but there is the principle of correctness of construction which your civil engineering examples (and anything truly engineered) satisfy. Correctness in construction is not subjective.

> Is that the new euphemism for the gig economy?

Mostly just the fact that most of people are not going to work on a shift in factory. But in a way... yeah... people might need to be a part-time driver, part-time YT broadcaster, part-time online influencer, and contractor. As crappy as it sounds, the times of mass employment in big industrial factories are over, and completely different values and skills are needed.
I think there are two issues here.

1. Prime day just doesn't have a lot of really good deal. They've got the usual Amazon stuff that are legit sales, and a few other items.

Beyond that it's mostly second rate stuff on sale and a bunch of non sale stuff advertised as on sale.

2. I wonder about how crappy advertising is all the time. I've git lists of things I might want and I never see adds for those things ... mostly things I already bought or stuff I don't care about.

I suspect the truth is whatever AI there is or advertising that is there, it isn't FOR us, it is pointed AT US. It's there to try to make us do what someone else wants... so they advertise women's clothing ... to me ... a guy, with no interest in those things because they're motivated to sell that, not what I want.

There are many visual programming environments targetting different domains: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language#Li...

The biggest issue is that visual programming environments tend to be domain-specific rather than general purpose. A general purpose visual programming environment would be difficult to build and still be as capable as a software developer using one of the mainstream programming languages with IDE.

Yeah, soul is matter - and more accurately its field generated by the oscillation of matter. The oscillation itself is basic, its basically „spin“ in physics. Soul doesnt always mean awareness of experience - animals arent as dramatic about death as we are for example (in meditation, awakenning is synchronizing the awareness of experience again back with the body, or maybe its better to call it psycoanalytical process of individuation which integrated persona with self, as Carl Jung and Co put it)

It starts with the tiniest particle, and regenerates the whole tree. Memory and oscilation are even basic to rocks for example. They accumulate matter aswell, just no seeminhg „awareness of experience“ yet.)

With some caution, I really recommend the book „ The Origins and History of Consciousness“ by Erich Neumann. Also meditation is great to move individuation forward.

its truly mind boggling to understand all this, and its a shame this stuff isnt mainstream knowledge. Though i do admit it can get u labeled and make you feel as an outsider as most of us arent aware, and might actively reject the discussion. Like the othet poster said, „scope creep“ - then again, i truly think immortality of experience is impossible. Matter will always re-transform into energy, and viceversa. This is what we essentially are. And the fear of death is why we are violent about it all.

There’s a sucker born every minute. Or more than one sucker per minute, even. Far more people join the Internet every day than could possibly be reached by education. That’s kinda what “Eternal September” was: the moment when the Internet began growing too quickly for the existing social mores of IT people to become impressed onto the next generation of Internet users.

Barnum’s sideshows eventually stopped, but it wasn’t education that stopped them. Mostly, it was government regulation stripping away all the big draws (the big-top shows) by making a lot of them (rightfully) illegal. That just required a few experts and politicians to achieve consensus on the subject; a secular shift in public opinion wasn’t required.
I don’t think that any other US political player comes even close to the dangerous rhetoric of Trump. Democrat, Republican, or independent. The attack on the election itself that he started should be the biggest red flag for the citizens that none of his rants are normal.
I definitely classify them as Flagship phones. It even has mmWave in the US version.

Apart from some features in Camera there is barely anything missing. And it is faster than anysize of Android Phone with A14.

I dont think it gets any more Flagship than that.
There are no official ones. Don’t know about unofficial ones.
> 15 years in sf apartment leases are unusual except for people who cannot afford to move out.

I'm a little confused here. If your rent is 1.2k for a 2bd in SF (because resident since 2000s), whereas market rate for a 2bd now is 3.9k in SF -- what is your determination -- is a person able or not able to move-out?

Why would anyone move out every 2 to 3 years if they're rent-controlled, and they'd have to pay significantly more for any new place?

Likewise, if you've been owning a property since the old times, and it's fully paid off, the property tax liability in Cali is tiny, and for older owners perhaps entirely a wash-off due to infamous Prop 13. Which is part of the reason that many owners don't even bother renting their properties.

Young voters outnumber older voters, but this is mutually exclusive from an aging populace and a declining birth rate. You can chalk it up to population momentum and previously higher levels of immigration. It does mean Millennials will hold on to their electorate influence longer though.

Because Troy Davis, in his tweet, literally said "I didn't know that black-hat content marketing existed"

I think his comments here indicate that what he meant was he wasn't aware it exists "at scale" in this way, but taking the content of the linked post at face value, it's easy to come away thinking "How did he now know this existed?". It's precisely what I thought after reading his tweets, but before seeing his detailed comments here.
