>it doesn't matter if there are also legitimate fair use uses of the tool.

What are you basing your legal theory on?
Keeping track of communication channels. It is what governments and private security firms do all the time. No one wants to have to keep track of the activities of another social networking platform and figure out how to compromise it. They also have to keep track of anyone else who has compromised the platform.

Just a further note, the entire internet is comrpomised in one way or another. The worst offenders are linkedin, amazon and facebook. The US govt and various organizations have the complete ability to monitor any account, control what shows up on the user interfaces and replace the content however they please. A ton of people arent even aware their accounts are being used to control their behavior via reinforcement learning. Its just advertising but when people use it effectively it is a destructive tool.

See for how these kinda of techniques are used.

That's areal power density.

The energy density of sunlight itself is energy available per kg of mass-energy. That mass-energy can be totally converted to usable energy, unlike nuclear reactions or chemical fuels.

Of course, what this shows is that energy density, as was being used, is a silly metric. By that I mean that it's useful for d--- measuring contests, but not for making any actual decision about what technology to choose.
Our mistake is using cryptosystems that only last 20 years.

We should be using 100 year crypto. That's crypto that a crypto expert is willing to bet her entire net worth will be unbroken in 100 years.

Today, no such schemes exist.

But as far as I know, any two different hashing schemes applied sequentially has never been broken.

Therefore, why not get the Americans to develop their best hashing algorithm, the Chinese to develop their best algorithm, and then use A(C(data)).

Alternatively, bite the performance bullet, and use a provably secure hash algorithm. Build specialized hardware for the problem to speed it up.
how is this ironic?
Both the standard react router and nextjs framework are open source.
The group is also free to join. There's no monetisation of this project.
It's not "strange"... earlier hash algorithms tend to enjoy better performance and compatibility, and there are still use cases for which SHA1 (and even MD5) aren't broken.
I think the social side of it will be a big part of this. It lets you get together with someone who's hours away from you and have experiences together in a shared space. The avatars actually convey a pretty convincing sense of "this is another person next to me that I'm talking to" in a way that video calls don't. You trade facial expressions for a sense of physical proximity.

Or comparing to normal first person video games, you can see your friends' character as a fully detailed model, you know they're controlling what direction it turns, when it moves, whether it jumps. But the character fundamentally isn't them, it's a character that they're controlling.

And that's the weird thing about people's avatars in VR, it might be a low resolution floating torso and hands, but being in VR where the physical motion of their head and hands is directly translated to avatar movements makes it feel like the avatar is a low-detailed person instead of a high-detailed puppet.

The games and other experiences are obviously part of the selling point too. Being able to deflect blaster bolts with a lightsaber, throw droids off the top of a building with the force, shoot hordes of zombies, fly a jetpack, become a wizard, solve puzzles by working together with giant and tiny copies of yourself, have your friends talk you through defusing a bomb, and so many other things that we haven't thought of yet.

Smaller market, but I can see a lot of promise for virtual training simulations as well. Less sophisticated than flight simulator cockpits for pilots, but dramatically more accessible.
Android allows applications to disable screenshots while they are running, as a form of DRM.
Those projects failing is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's the public narrative that makes laws and funding disappear and reappear every 4 years, not to mention continuous brainwashing in climate groups.

But realistically speaking, I take your point. I just don't want to dismiss nuclear for the wrong reason. We need to make a choice of how much energy to build where, using which technology, and by when.

Let's make it.

Realistically people are going to hate on nuclear for stupid reasons? Fine, then please let us find an energy mix that works where we reach our climate goals. And we can still adjust those projects whose start-by date hasn't passed if, say, fusion is looking good. We just shouldn't wait and pray, as we're currently doing for the most part, because that mistake will catch up to us. Rather, let's make the plan and only adjust parts with other parts that work rather than leave huge, huge blanks.
Like I said, I'm indifferent towards the police. I don't care what happens to them. That doesn't mean I want bad things to happen to them.

As I said before and you never addressed: if I say I don't care about you, does that mean I'm advocating violence against you?
I migrated to iBroadcast. It's free, and it seems to fit my fairly minimal needs. In particular, it allowed uploading everything I dumped from GPM (~7k tracks, apparently), and allows specifying which songs should always be available offline on an Android device. Presumably it has the usual streaming features and online music acquisition features as well, but I don't use any of them.

The client has an option that claims to do some normalization that I hoped would prevent large deltas in volume between tracks - in practice this seems worse than what I got from the GPM player. I mostly listen to long heterogenous playlists on shuffle, so this probably wouldn't matter to people who listen to full albums.

I believe they have some monetization plan involving allowing higher bitrate playback, but I don't think I can really tell the difference.

I did try migrating to Youtube Music first and gave up after one too many annoyances.
I'd never heard of Bongo Cat until now and it brings back fond memories.

Back in 2006, a while after the passing of my previous cat (Kira), I became the new subordinate of two six week old sibling tuxedo kittens, Buzz (male) and Blossom (female). They were pre-named by the cat rescue place and I didn't have any better ideas, and so those names stuck for a while. Explaining "Blossom" was sometimes a challenge if you know me, 20st at the time, petrol head, beer, curry, other things, but do love cats.

Anyway, Buzz grew into this almost 5ft long (but not fat, or overweight) slightly clumsy cat in his "teens"; there was a laptop flooded by a glass of water, a not inexpensive B&W speaker broken by an attempted leap (grrr)...usual cat stuff.

Privately I started calling him "Bongo", I don't know why, it just seemed appropriate, and suited him. I also started calling Blossom, his sister mini-bongo around the house, but then mini-puss. Blossom was the runt of the litter (there were three cats in the photo, I offered to take all of them, Buzz was the middle cat, Blossom was the tiny one).

Anyway just a story.

Sadly Bongo (Buzz) passed away due to kidney issues at the age of 10 back in 2014. I miss him, he was so good natured (as is Blossom) and an amazing lump of feline friendlyness, seeing this today brought a wee tear to my eye.

Anyway, some links to these awesome pals:

Yes, you're right. A closer examination of Oil yields something much more interesting than I imagined.
So, the migration doesn't work. it fails to see the musics I have on file in my phone. Also, I'm in a third world country (Burundi) where a lot of the musics are blocked for being played. I purchased an album in the old Google Play Music but the new Youtube Music doesn't allow me to see my purchased music without a VPN. This is really incompetence from Google.
You have failed to understand the point I was making. See upthread.

Stainless steel did not exist

Stainless steel was about 60 years old in the 1970s.

I had the same experience. I just went in and the app does nothing. I had to disable updates and disable the app completely and find Vanilla Music Player to replace it.

Yes, that's all fair.

I know why the WinPhone fiasco happened: they, very reasonably, wanted to get everything on an NT base. WinPhone 7 was WinCE, WinPhone 8 was NT.

I don't think they realised how many people used WinPhone 7 and were happy with it. Over here in Czechia, Windows phones were the main smartphones I saw when I moved here in 2014 -- Android and iOS were very rare, because they were very expensive. Windows phones were the affordable way to get a smartphone -- there were a lot of candybar dumbphones still around here in 5-6 years ago.

I don't think dodging antitrust was luck, though. I think the US was afraid to kill or even maim one of its very few big success stories, one of the only ones that _wasn't_ being outcompeted by Asian or European companies.

Since then, MS has lost some big battles -- notably, phones and tablets -- and it's learned to be conciliatory and how to appear friendly to people too young to remember the viciously rapacious 1990s MS.

My point is, I still think it is just play-acting friendly. This is the null hypothesis: same company, same people, same structure, and therefore, same business practices. It just got burned a few times so now it wants to come over as a reformed character.
Visual Studio (full edition) doesn't have extensions. It's a full blown IDE and everything is built-in. Despite having a similar name, the two products sharing almost nothing in common.
The debates are mainly about what is included and what isn’t. For example it’s very thin on Reconstruction and the end thereof; about the civil rights abuses under the New Deal; etc. There’s also debates about how to characterize certain things (for example Ronald Reagan’s rhetoric was called “bellicose” in a 2014 revision and that generated a kerfuffle.) So yes, don’t assume you learned all the history you need to know.

At the same time, don’t make the opposite mistake of assuming “everything your history teacher told you was a lie.” The New York Times made some bold assertions in the 1619 Project and has had to walk back some of the most fundamental assertions: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/09/opinion/nyt-1619-project-.... If you go through and strip out all the rhetoric based on factual premises that have been abandoned or debunked (even by the left, see: https://jacobinmag.com/2019/08/how-slavery-shaped-american-c...) what’s left is a really interesting take on aspects of history your AP US History curriculum doesn’t cover, but which doesn’t fundamentally contradict what you learned in school.

With respect to this particular issue: the AP US History curriculum correctly taught what the 3/5 compromise was (and it was what it was). And it also correctly taught that the Connecticut Compromise was about small states versus big states, not slavery. It was a slave-owning southern state, Virginia, that proposed proportional representation in both houses. And the small states that benefited from the structure of the Senate included both northern states and southern states.

The connection is also a weird thing to bring up today, because most of the small states that benefit from the structure of the Senate today were free states. Several, like north and South Dakota, were split up when admitted to break the power of the slave states in the Senate. Midwestern states like Iowa and Minnesota made a huge contribution to beating the south. Iowa sent troops to fight before the union army was even ready to go to war; they sent the largest percentage of their population to war of any state; and they had the highest percentage of casualties: https://valleynewstoday.com/news/local/iowa-played-a-large-r....
No the DMCA says that so long as they respond to take downs they aren't liable. The agreement prevents litigation that COULD result in a judgement that might modify this deal which is clearly a risk in addition to the cost of ongoing litigation.
Just like security in the physical world, sometimes the weakness is not that great in practice. If you watch enough lockpicking videos on YouTube you may come to the same conclusion.

Thanks very much for posting this link. I'm interested in how other states are doing. It's nice that all of the states that publish data is aggregated here.

Hashing twice doesn't actually help in many cases that hashes are used. And I don't think there is a such thing as a "provably secure hashing algorithm", although I would very much be interested in learning about the topic if you have a reference :)
I did read that review, but it's got to be the single most negative take on the Quest 2 that exists. Most people love it.

The standard head strap is cheaper, with upgrade options available if it bugs you (obviously that kills the $300 price point, but for most people I think it's fine). The controllers feel and perform the same as before, except now there's a thumb rest that isn't "Oops I pushed the Oculus button."

For certain IPDs between the 3 positions, the new lens setup doesn't work well, but the software apparently does understand more IPD steps and will position the displays properly if you carefully balance the lens position slide in between its spots where it locks.

The worst thing about it might be losing a sliver of peripheral vision at the sides, but from what I understand this only happens if you use it at the wide IPD setting and don't use the glasses spacer. And even if you're one of the people affected by that, the screen is still a good trade-off for the higher resolution and framerate.

EDIT - I should say that's the worst thing about the hardware. The actual worst thing is the Facebook account.
Nim's not Lispy either, and macros alone are not enough. To make macro use feel natural because they're not much different than using the core language, the language needs to be homoiconic, which to my knowledge Nim is not.

In any case, macros are not what draw me to Lisp, but its unparalleled combination of ease of use, readability, and power... along with 70 years of development and tooling.

So I could just use a Lisp or Scheme, which I do. They can be plenty fast too (see Chicken, for instance, which -- like Nim -- compiles down to C).
>TL;DR: don’t put a scarf over your nose in very cold temperatures.

To be precise, this is a C compiler written in Rust --- I thought it would be another self-compiler, of which several have already appeared on HN.

In other words, the author is now encouraged to write a Rust compiler in C.
I’m a developer, I use a Mac, it’s still the best Unix laptop out there.

But I have a Ryzen 3950X desktop with a real GPU (RTX 2080) running Windows and Linux, for when I am not portable.

Same dotfiles for all, any operating system these days has the terminal + browser story covered, if you then use VS Code and languages like Go or Rust, you don’t really need to care what the OS is.

Getting religious over any one platform is a waste of time IMO.
I miss original Songza. Google, could you just let me have original Songza back? You killed it with your merge to Google Music, and now its only remnants are titles to some of the playlists you try to hide and never recommend.

Example: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=RDCLAK5uy_lmCjwO3-5S...

I know Game of Thrones is super not relevant anymore, but THIS is the kind of stuff that made Songza so popular you bought them out.
Cross-platform Powershell (specifically with Azure though) has become oddly enjoyable.
Thats of course ridiculous. "Low !Q" wealthy people in the US arent managing their own money. They hire the best and brightest to do it. China has a massive advantage because they can simply copy or steal what works in the US more efficiently than we can come up with the next best thing.
The electron wavefunction scatters primarily off the nucleus potential. The electron cloud acts to screen the potential, but this effect is weak and not easily detected in the scattered wave.

I would, depending on what I was protecting. I use it every day in Git, for example, on projects where integrity is of moderate importance. Now, against a nation-state? No way.

Maybe it has more to do with their financial sheets than just mktcap?

They both seem to be good at losing money but Pintrest has a few hundred million more in cash to lose atm.

Pintrest's revenue is almost double that of Yelp, im sure that gets compounded through speculation.

I wonder if it may come down to how each earns their revenue.

Is it possible that during the current pandemic many of Yelps customers and potential customers are facing financial hardship?

And in turn is there a chance that with all the home baking, crafts, homeschooling etc. that is currently seeing a boost from the social distancing and lockdowns might cause Pintrest to look like a better bet?

I'm no expert just my thoughts, I could be way off. I bought silver a couple months ago and have watched it lose 12% for no apparent reason.
This is a wholly imaginary distinction based on a triviality. Streaming IS downloading. Also how is the betamax case not applicable. The user of a VCR isn't "licensed" to record whats on their tv
> But nowadays people are switching to PHP-FPM, which is the same approach used by Python, Java and most other languages.

What? Not even close. You can update PHP code by just replacing the files, it's not compiled. PHP-FPM is just a layer that provides a fastcgi interface and manages processes that run PHP. It's super easy to run, super easy to proxy to with Caddy or Nginx or whatever else support fastcgi.

Java is compiled, and typically runs its own HTTP server. Python is not compiled, but usually it runs its own HTTP server, or a WSGI server which adds another layer.

> Every possible extension baked right into the language as a global function instead of using namespaces and a package manager like other languages.

Are you trying to say that global functions are a strength? Namespaces are a big improvement. Many modern PHP extensions provide namespaced classes now, it's mainly the older ones that don't.
It doesn’t, and probably why it hasn’t really caught on.
A few things.

1. Sunlight isn't on the list he's citing.

2. Sunlight can't be measured by kilos, so it can't be compared against.

3. Sunlight is the consequence of the sun's nuclear reactions. So fusion nuclear energy might be comparable, but until then, fission is as close as we get.
> It is no news that Microsoft purchased GitHub in 2018, everyone knows that. Yet despite that fact thousands of the worlds most important Open Source projects continue to host their code on GitHub. People seem to have forgotten just how rotten Microsoft really is and how dangerous that situation is.

Developers probably know if github goes bad, they can relatively easily migrate their code off of github (much as many projects migrated away from sourceforge), and every developer already has a copy of the whole git repo.

Issues, pull requests, wiki, and actions are a bit harder to migrate but not really dealbreakers.

What evidence is there that Microsoft github is significantly worse (and/or less trustworthy) than pre-Microsoft github?
