Not that Telegram is the most secure thing on the planet, but it has feature parity with Whatsapp for the most part and supports groups perfectly, in my opinion.

It's a much easier sell, I think. Plus it's definitely more secure than Whatsapp.
Some countries actually have laws that prevent broadcasters from knowingly broadcasting false news. Canada is one. It is, however, a condition that is restricted to broadcasting licenses.

In the distant past when newspapers were locally owned and operated, those who owned printing presses lived in the communities that they worked in and published in. Globalization has removed that link. My theory is that losing that link has distorted the nature of publishing. It is now cheaper (more profitable) to publish false news than it is to publish well researched journalism. There is no local reputation to protect. Who needs to pay for fact checkers and editors to reach out to trusted sources to verify a story when the story itself isn't even true? Let's just throw whatever at the wall, and, hey, we can sell more ads if it blows up on social media!
I can tell you that in a steel mill, its a whole different story, largely because of the ferrous dust, the heat as you can imagine is also a problem, everything has to be sealed and fed through a filtered vents, or it will die

I just created a new account on Discord a few hours ago, and the first thing it asked me for was an email address or non-VOIP phone number. So no, not if you're creating an account. Creating a server is a different thing.
When I reply to people on HN (or anywhere else) I assume I am talking to that person. You noted that "you" (meaning me) should consider taking certain steps. I noted that I don't live in CA. I then pointed out that the concerns you raised about CA apply to the entire US southwest. I then noted that CA has several different climate zones and biomes and that these concerns do not apply to all of them.

What is so hard to understand about this?
It's not illegal to be a monopoly - especially by providing a superior product or service.

The case hinges on the no-compete, tying, and default placement agreements. If Google didn't pay anyone to be the default search engine, didn't require Android Phone makers to pre-install Google apps and make Google the default search in order to get access to Google services and the store, etc then there's no problem.

The complaint also says that one of the reasons Google's results are better is the network and scale effects that come from owning 80-90% of search. A competitor has a very difficult time no matter how good their algorithm because you need insights you can only get when people use your service at scale. I don't personally know if that is true but that's part of the complaint.

The proposed antitrust violation is likely the combination: using their dominant position to outspend any other players when paying for default placement to ensure they're the only one with the scale to have the best search results. That forms a self-reinforcing cycle: users who do choose pick you because you have the best results and you use that fact to fund no-compete and default placement agreements to ensure you have unmatched scale which further reinforces your ability to deliver the best results.

Again: I don't know if this is true or a valid argument, but it seems to be what the complaint claims.

This complaint happens with many new technologies.

In the 1980s companies poured lots of money into personal office computers with no measured increase in employee productivity. This was called thd productivity paradox.

I would argue that writing great asm that is more efficient than your idiomatic C code is going to be a very very challenging task on modern non-embedded CPUs. The compiler definitely knows more than I do about how the internal architecture works and which instructions to reorder to prevent stalls etc

I'm close to this, and if I make an Instagram account it's banned before a single page is loaded.
I stumbled upon this video today. While listening to it, I wondered if we've collectively lost our will to do truly ambitious things with computers. What would it take to have a desktop computer -- make that a workstation -- that's as audacious today as the NeXT Computer was in 1988?
Google basically admitted that GPA and where you went to school don't matter and do not correlate with job performance. And yet here we are still optimizing on the Ivy League. It'd be a safe wager that algorithm whiteboard interviews don't either except that they screen out folks who don't pass the interview. So because everyone has that baseline, that baseline is by definition meaningless. The other side of the coin is that performance management is also just as bad.
So I actually had a very similar experience, purchasing the exact same TOTMC capture device from Amazon and a quality JVC S-VHS VCR on eBay. And later a higher quality capture card.

I found any free video editing options out there difficult to learn and unintuitive. I ended up using Sony Vegas which was a big improvement.

In my case I only needed to offset my audio track to get it to sync and it was fine. However some of my videos have that same tell-tale edge tearing, I didn’t bother trying to fix it.
Possibly? I didn't see anything in the complaint about the use of their search landing page to push Chrome on people. That could be a problem because Chrome always defaults to Google search.

Honestly... what would Chrome's market share be if Google weren't heavily pushing it on everyone who visits google.com?
This comment frames someone who wants privacy, a routine and everyday common desire, as “super paranoid”. That’s bad, but, worse yet, inaccurate.

You shouldn’t have to carry around another box to keep your computer or phone from spying on you.
The above statement is really just validation that the current process sucks so much for everyone that it's conceivable to replace it with random choice. However, it's not actually true (for reasons explained in the blog) - as a hiring manager, I am confident you couldn't ship "Hello world" by hiring randomly.
In a "hot" situation, the ground segment is, well, "vulnerable" doesn't quite cut it. EU power projection isn't vaguely close to enough to protect all those far-flung islands that make the system work.

But there are "cold" scenarios where bombing ground stations wouldn't be kosher but denying GNSS services might be. That's what Galileo insures against. I don't think those scenarios are particularly likely, so it's awful pricey insurance, but it's also a very important capability so opinions may differ.
Ask HN: How much revenue do you think Among Us makes?
Got kind of curious discussing with a few friends. Wonder what all their revenue streams look like and how much they’re making on a daily / monthly basis.

Last I heard, they hit 3.8 million concurrent users!
Can you give any examples of those 'walking through walls' moments?
Honestly, that idea makes a lot of sense to me, and personally, I find the module system pretty normal seeming for a modern language. I'm used to Perl and CPAN, and it's pretty similar to that, except for the option to use dir/mod.rs, which honestly seems like it's kinda nice for keeping a module contained nicely for those that want to do it that way.

Now I'm more interested in what the complaints about it are, and specifically what they're in comparison to. Either they're not used to using so many modules in a method such as this, or they're honestly expecting some better system for their use case that I'm unaware of, or a little of both, so my curiosity is piqued.

I love this article but long for a more specific term than "discipline".
I think this is a little oversimplified, because I’m pretty sure C++0x had move semantics and usable smart pointers prior to Rust really entering the public conscience/probably before it existed. AFAICT Rust takes a lot of inspiration from how you would “fix” C++, in ways that you could never actually do in C++ because it would break backwards compatibility.
I disagree, you can definitely improve the stuff you built in retool. As a dev it's saved me a lot of time from having to build non user-facing dashboards, etc that would otherwise take up a lot of time. Instead I was able to spend that time on the core features.
One approach could be to check public servers for "bad" content, and then use that as the entry point to investigate/infiltrate those communities.
This is very fun and creative, although I did start getting a bit disoriented and had to exit after a few minutes.

Thanks for the nostalgia trip!
Mozilla Reaction to U.S. vs. Google
When you mmap, it gives you back a pointer that you can read from, but doesn’t necessarily populate your process’s page table with all of the data you can read. Instead, when you go to access it, there will be a page fault if the page you’re trying to read hasn’t been read from disk yet. The kernel catches the page fault, allocates a page, does the read from disk, and restarts your read as if nothing happened. The user process has no indication that any of this happened other than perhaps a bit of latency.

I believe the parent is talking about submitting links to websites that render their content via clientside JavaScript and how that would break the hash dupe detection. They aren't suggesting that the functionality would need to be implemented in JS by HN.

Regardless, hashing the content to detect dupes is just an idea that wouldn't work for a lot of reasons.
This is pretty disappointing to see, I've been looking forward to use b2 vs s3 in prod just from a cost perspective and only using their api, but if they are shipping stuff like this to run on other peoples machines, It makes one wonder about whats running on their servers… though I guess if things are uploaded via the api and are encrypted beforehand or meant to be publicly available are still pragmatic production use cases as along as someone assumes they are compromised when building stuff around it.
There really isn’t a competitor. Supabase is trying to combine OSS tooling into a somewhat similar offering but it’s not nearly as feature rich as Firebase. That having been said, most people use Firebase for real time DB and auth, and Supabase supports that now. It doesn’t, however, support offline use cases, or any of the advanced functionality of firebase.

Pouch and couch solve the offline data scenario and live replication, but no auth story and the mapping of users to data is problematic (unless you build a proxy layer, there’s not an easy way to have some data be public, some private, and some shared).

Realm is paid these days, I believe, and it solves the data replication, but again, no auth.
That's true. I left out saying that deeper networks represent a wider variety of functions more easily, because that seems generally intuitive to everyone. But the arguments about how easy it is to optimize them should apply equally well to wide and shallow networks as to very deep ones.
I don't think western civilization will put the necessary amount of pressure on the basis of human rights violations. However, they might use this excuse to affect negatively China's economic growth and hinder their IP espionage.
Why are you picking a single politician or Fox News? Your bias is clear, and so strong that you're already assuming I have a side so you can argue against it when I only talked about the media.

> "Distrust everyone, and you’ll believe anyone."

No. Did you just make this up? I don't believe anyone because I distrust them all. That's what "distrust" literally means.

> "Books will help broaden your perspective"

I know. I'm discussing the state of the media, not worried about my perspective.

> "is demonstrably untrue and a falsehood."

Just say "lie". These are same weasley words that media often uses to create a narrative. However my statement can never be a lie regardless of how you feel about it because it's my personal assessment.

> "people’s confidence in reputable sources"

Politifact isn't a news site. Pro Public might be good but, again, I don't care about site reputation. It no longer matters because this authority has been disaggregated and over-extended, a problem caused by the media itself. I look at every piece as an isolated instance and apply trust based on numerous factors, with the publishing organization very far down that list. I find this approach far superior in uncovering the truth.

I also have no interest or responsibility in other people's confidence in the media, and I'll freely express what I think. If their confidence is shaken so easily then maybe the problem is how little trust they already have in the precarious state of the media today. If you disagree and want to still rely on publisher-based reputation then that's your prerogative, but don't project your insecurities or political beliefs onto me.
Azure ML Notebooks provide pretty similar functionality.
HVDC is much better than anything else for long distance transmission. But the gain is because of the high voltage part, not the DC one.

The one thing that pushes people into DC is that phase synchronization is a huge problem on high voltage. So, for indirect reasons, DC gets to be the winner right now.

If you're pre-product, identify a solvable problem that your target customers are facing. Many problems can be solved without a scalable solution/product for a few customers. Hack together a presentable solution/deliverable. Call it your beta program and do it for free. Set KPIs and collect metrics on your successes. Leverage those successes as references. Now that you've used those successes to get some money and build a team start releasing versions of the solution and convert your beta users to paid customers at a discount and incentives them with more discounts for any new paying customers they can refer. Have them post on linkedin for you, do press releases and most important cultivate and treasure those initial relationships. You will need to call on them again and again.
Yes, I'm quite aware of that — note that I was suggesting that OP look for the actual evidence rather than relying on other people's claims. Their echoing of attacks which have been unsupported by evidence but common in conservative circles suggested that they were inside such a filter bubble

Having been in the field for almost 15 years, it seems to me that hiring has always kind of been hit and miss and all these timed tech interviews don't really help much as they focus too much on just code or system design. But the majority of problems I have encountered have not been technically difficult. Once you create an application with a sound system design, all the other technical stuff isn't really a challenge.

Majority of the issues are caused by requirements not being communicated, captured, or implemented properly. That's something that's not really focused on tech interviews. I just want a diligent developer who can identify potential issues, do their research, and propose solutions rather than be able to design a system in 90 minutes, because that's never happening in real life. In fact, I'd not hire someone who can claim to do so.

If you’re talking about Debug vs Release mode in Visual Studio, there’s a huge performance hit with STL iterators in Debug mode. Like sometimes 10-20x slower for tight loops. This is obviously C++ not C, so it doesn’t apply to Python directly. But in general toolchains can have very unoptimized code paths in debug mode.
why do you “trust” Apple?
(Disclaimer: Googler on build tools).

I hear this argument a lot, and fail to be convinced. Optimizations at scale matter a lot. Let's posit that 100,000 developer-years have been spent implementing HTTP/2 and tools to interact with it. (Hopefully a great over-estimate). Let's say we have to spend all that again to move to HTTP/3. Is it worth it?

Well, per random internet stats I haven't validated, there are about 4b internet users, spending about 3h per day on the internet apiece. I could imagine 5% of that is spent on synchronous resource loading. That's about 10m/day/user - or about 28M years/year spent waiting on resources to load. A 1% savings (the minimum of CloudFlare's range) is 280k human years / year. And that's the bottom end - could be as high as 4% (1.1M years/ year), and without BBR (negatively impacting high packet loss and high throughput connections in particular).

Is "persons average time on the internet" comparable to "paid developer time"? No. A lot of that user time is timeboxed "wasted" time, in the endless content scroll. With that in mind, is it worth it overall? Probably. I've tried to estimate in favor of developers, but I still get their one-time effort paid back 2.8-11x _each year_ in user time, under unfavorable conditions. And this is growing rapidly, both in user count and time per user.

And that says nothing about the privacy benefits of encrypting headers and whatnot, which you should probably ascribe nonzero value.
Don't psychologists do all kinds of tests where they show you consistent and/or inconsistent stimuli and observe how that affects your judgement and the time it takes to make your judgement?
madvise is more about good citizenship since kernels are usually tuned with a default strategy of salting the earth to get the best possible score on simple benchmarks:

madvise(mapped_addr, mapped_size, MADV_WILLNEED | MADV_SEQUENTIAL);

Please call that function before consuming a large file. If you ingest more data than is stored in RAM, then without madvise, you're going to make everything else on the system go really slow afterwards, since every other program that has hot pages in cache waiting to be re-used will become cold and have to hit disk again.
So npm supports yarn.lock now, does that mean that it’s intended to replace yarn long term? Are there any pros to still using yarn these days?
I’m not sure “what locks it” is a useful question. Locking is a performance and scalability destroying operation in a time when we care about both. Systems that care about both largely avoid locking (including most “lock-free” locks) altogether outside of rare cases, and in such rare cases the logic is simple. Nothing is lost by avoiding locks with good architecture.

In big multi-core systems, I model the handful of locks by the worst-case access frequency for a core to understand contention. In practice, this is often on the order of 100ms, which means the locks are effectively contention-free and the fast path almost always wins.
Your genes are like blue prints. Your diet and lifestyle are like the building blocks feed into a machine trying to follow the blue prints.

In vernacular architecture, local materials are used. An adobe house in the Southwest of the US looks very different from, say, an igloo.

That's kind of the difference the diet and lifestyle can make and it's something you can engineer yourself with enough reading, keeping a journal and so forth.

It won't fix everything, but study after study after study shows that "diet and lifestyle" are major factors in every deadly disease from cancer to diabetes to heart disease, yet people basically point and laugh if you suggest these are a legitimate means to address a serious condition with a genetic component.

The reality is that much medical research is aimed at the ability to look impressive in headlines and far too little of it is aimed at genuinely improving human health and quality of life. And noting that gets far too much flak from far too many people.
Agreed and unfortunately Realm appears to have been acquired by mongo. No disrespect to the mongo team, but if we've learned anything from firebase it's that whenever a project like this gets acquired things get a little... shaky.
I do think it's a lot better than the situation on Android phones. At least changing the default search engine is relatively easy on iOS (I've changed all my personal devices over to duckduckgo).
