Ebay is often touted as her success credentials, but I really see it as another failure. There was no Amazon when Ebay was big. They could have BEEN Amazon.

Also she bought Skype, but forgot to check that the IP was actually included in the purchase.

I am honestly astonished she is seen in an even minimally positive light these days.
Isn't it other way around? Authentication is about confirming one's identity and that's what oAuth is used for. Authorization is about giving proper permissions and that's what happens after you get authenticated and has nothing to do with oAuth. Am I missing something?

This is terrible, terrible news.
> The conditions under which the body uses this backup to restart good bacteria cultures has not been well characterized yet, but IIRC it does include fasting and starvation.

That is very interesting, and would make sense given we evolved in feast/famine environment.
That's an application-centric view of development, as indicated by the phrase "the application". If an application is successful, its data will likely end up being used by other new applications, and the data will survive the lifetime of the original application that generated the data. The applications themselves will be rewritten many times as technologies evolve. Think mainframe to client/server to EJB to lightweight J2EE to Spring Boot microservices.

If there is logic or metadata that is common across all those applications, there are a couple choices. You could duplicate that logic across all the applications, and rewrite that logic every time you do a rewrite of the application, or you could keep it one place.

If you keep it one place, one way to do that is to have a service in front of the database that every application that uses the data calls instead of hitting the database directly. That has some disadvantages in that it requires upfront design and planning, the service in front of the database will likely be rewritten in new technologies over time, and it has performance implications. And for the developer, instead of having to deal with logic in an application and a database, now they have to deal with logic in two applications.

Another way to do it is to have common logic for the data implemented in key constraints, check constraints, triggers, stored procedures and other similar tools in the database so that any application that uses the data doesn't need to rewrite that logic, and can't intentionally or unintentionally violate the rules of the common domain. That does have its own disadvantages, and it makes things more complicated for developers who will need to be familiar with an additional set of technologies, but it is a valid use case for stored procedures.
> even with that technology they'd never fight like that

This applies to just about all fictional combat, no matter the setting.

As a user I don't really care about the way they build it. I care about the spec to deny them forcing me to disclose the data.

I once tried to sign-up with Google an it asked me to allow (with no option to deny but continue) to share my specific personal details. I've cancelled and never used this technology ever since. I didn't have to specify the same details (which Google was going to share) when signing-up with an e-mail address.

The spec should discourage sharing details beyond necessary, prevent any details from being shared silently and ensure user can always deny and continue.
It was Google who complied. They didn't have to (there was no jurisprudence); they chose to.

Is Mozilla going to comply with a C&D for removal of Facebook Container for Firefox [1]? I think not.

Small RAM usage.
Once I finished the 35 days fast, I started going to the gym. Body fat dropped from ~24% to ~10% on the fast and now up to ~18% after 2 month bulk, so I added more muscle mass, but I had a lot of work as well so I was not able to hit the gym as often as I'd like and I had extra calories.

The biggest surprise to me was I was way more focused and attentive but I couldn't sleep much (sometimes 4 hours max). And at some point I got "keto rash" but it faded away eventually.

I think if you do the fast and then break the fast with stricker caloric diet and more protein you can gain lean muscle mass, but I got worried when I reached 58 kilos as people started pointing out how skinny I got..so I started bulking up again..
> mass killing at an unprecedented level

There've been many wars that came a lot closer to WWII in terms of casualties than the Second Congo War did. Look at that wikipedia page I linked to in my previous comment.

- Three Kingdoms War: 184-280, 36,000,000–40,000,000 casualties.

- Mongol conquests: 1206–1368, 30,000,000–40,000,000 casualties.

- An Lushan Rebellion: 755–763, 13,000,000–36,000,000 casualties.

- Conquests of Timur: 1370–1405, 8,000,000–20,000,000 casualties.

- Taiping Rebellion: 1850–1864, 20,000,000–30,000,000 casualties.

- Dungan Revolt: 1862–1877, 8,000,000–20,000,000 casualties.

As you can see, what's mainly special about WW1/2 is the casualties/year ratio. The total death tolls are not that unprecedented.

It's indeed silly to say that there's been global peace since WW2, but I do believe that there is a difference between the wars we've seen in the last 75 years, and the wars I listed above. I'd still call the Second Congo War a major war, but I do think there's a distinction to be made here. The word "major" just isn't it, and I think we both agree on that.
I think the thing that you're missing is that there's no shortage of physical space right here? Said differently, why not build that satellite, load it up, and instead of launching it.... put it in the closet. Get it out when you need it. What advantages does that launch have?
Then choose wisely and pay or get involved with the instance where you upload your videos.
The article talkes about threatening to block sales. But apparently Lenovo has already stopped selling devices using the video codec completely. The German online store has currently only accessories to offer.
Peertube seems like a very nice idea. I think I will create my own instance.

But is it possible to configure a locked down instance, so that not anyone can upload videos? Because I would like to publish videos myself but prohibit others from uploading videos on my instance.

Yes you can. Some YubiKeys support NFC (not sure if that works on iOS though), but also you can use USB-A <-> USB-C converter, USB-A <-> microUSB converter, or just a USB-C or lightning YubiKey, or convert to lightning I guess.

That's a reason, but likely not the only reason. There are likely reasons relating to regulation of other digestion processes that slow down to a halt while fasting.

Coming up from a fast and eating a lot of food quickly may cause refeeding syndrome - regardless of whether it is carbs or protein/fat.

Switching back to carbs from pure fat or pure protein is not dangerous in the same way, AFAIK (but I'm not a doctor).
Lets take it to extreme, there were 'not evil' guards in concentration camps. They were just doing their job and minding their own business.

Are they to blame for the holocaust? Well no, but they help to run it.

Aristocracy might not be made up 100% of evil mustache twirling villains, but they benefit from fruits of other's toils.

Lets consider much much milder version of the problem that we can relate.

Nestle was caught buying chocolate from sources using child labor and child slaves. Currently AFAIK only Kitkat is using fair-trade chocolate as a token gesture. Anything else is using chocolate with some fake symbols set up by PR companies funded by nestle et al.

Are you eating their - non kitkat - chocolate product supporting child slavery? Even though you might have done it fully ignorant of the fact. Are you going to buy their stuff knowing that now?

Is it feasible to live in our society and not buy stuff from corporations that do things like that?
For context, Sweden's defense budget (USD 5.8b) is smaller than the NYPD's budget (USD 6.0b) [1].

Well, I think UDP is about as minimal as can be when using IP. So it makes sense to use to design a potential TCP replacement.

Having said that, I wish we could replace the "port" concept. With the size of address space IPV6 allows, 16 bits for ports is looking a bit small.
I think we are at a point where a distributed index becomes an attractive idea. Compute nodes are cheap and every website could devote resources to support it. Considering how exclusionary google has become, web companies might have an incentive there to support a distributed solution. I don't know how developed those solutiosn are, though.

Apparently there is some effort in Distributed SE coordinated by blockhains. I think this comes close to the idea of "Google as an utility".

Nah, lots of shops begrudgingly support Linux laptops because a VM is a lot less practical, and the productivity hit would be substantial, probably, and forcing devs to make do with Windows only is bad for hiring.

If WSL really works out, though, it might be the other way around – Linux on Windows might work really well, be able to do things Linux itself can't, like interfacing with Windows-only hardware, using DirectX, and be the superior experience in total for lots of people. It will be much, much harder to justify the expense of buying a whole different set of hardware and support it if the net result is a worse experience across the board. Businesses tend to not care much about freedom of software and the like.

I've got family members that are a good example of this. Some live in a rural area of the South and think that worsening weather is punishment for allowing gays to marry. Meanwhile when one of my cousins came out as gay, my grandparents who live a few states further North said that he didn't choose to be gay, God made him like that, and invited him and his boyfriend to thanksgiving dinner to make sure he knew that everyone still loved him. Both groups of people are super religious (same religion even), and both use their religion to back up their beliefs, not the other way around.
You should be able to.

Google translators are outsourced to a company which doesn't have access to the product - they are literally given a spreadsheet of strings and told to "translate these". No wonder the translations are sub-par.
What I'm curious about is the ability for the AI to cope with transcribing technical vocabulary. Even on the MIT OpenCourseWare lectures the transcription mistakes seem to be highest with unusual technical words (I usually watch them sped up with subtitles on), such as "Van-Emde-Boas tree" being transcribed as "Venom de Boss tree". Or "prologue" instead of "Prolog" in a SICP video. The paper[0] this article refers to doesn't seem to talk about this aspect.

Not according to my analysis [1]. Also if you take a look at sites that specialize in e-commerce founder interviews, you’ll see that they use all sorts of acquisition channels/strategies (partnerships with mini influencers, FB/Instagram Ads, SEO, affiliate programs and so on) and they work really well.

I would understand if you said “the internet = Google for MY retail store”, but saying it applies for all online retail is simply incorrect.

My sole objection to bitcoin is also a really big one - energy use and its impact on climate. For that reason alone, it should be a nonstarter, it is really sad to see it flourishing when we already have a variety of types of money. A government could make a crypto currency without the hashing part, and save us a lot of energy. I don’t care about the libertarian part of this, because we cannot escape the need to create and enforce rules and work together, so we will always need government.

Well, you are saying it is a good thing that certain information is unavailable to you, and that you trust google, the government to do the job for you. I couldn't disagree more!

My response would be, don't you think you can judge for yourself what is ok, and to not watch things that are nonsense? Also, aren't you concerned that you could be manipulated as you may be trusting authorities who - out of self-interest - could fail to disclose information to you; ie that you will be unable to reach an informed opinion as you will be in ignorance?

Personally, I have zero trust in any other parties judging what is ok or not for me to know about. I am happy to judge for myself, without parental guidance.
In Sweden, what you get paid isn't really your full salary. Sweden has a hidden tax system called "arbetsgivaravgift" which only the employer can see. It's hidden and not labeled as a tax because it tricks people into believing you're paying less taxes than you actually do.

So when you think you're paying ~32% income tax, in reality it's closer to 50%.
But there's nothing in the spec that requires you to disclose that data to begin with.

And there's nothing they could write in the spec to deny that besides a perfunctory "please don't do that" which companies could ignore without consequence.

> Also - fuzzy search as mentioned.

So was your edit on the comment I replied to (repeated below) a typo?

> Edit: also, searching for "prolog web framework" gets you stuff about using prolog for web application development. So, yeah, naming is not great and your assertion is not entirely correct.

This is an anecdote in favor of fuzzy search not really being an issue.

> If someone tells me about this "prologue web framework" I could easily transliterate that as "prolog".

If someone told me about that “C programming language” I could easily transliterate that as “sea” or misremember it as “B”.

These are contrived situations. Imagine someone told me about “Prologue: a web framework written in Nim”, and I transliterated that to “prolog web framework”. If I searched that and it didn’t come up with a web framework written in Nim, I would think critically about the issue and change my search to “prolog web framework Nim” and would find this project.

It would be so silly to change the name or avoid the name of a completely unrelated project when ideally anyone faced with the issue would have the critical thinking skills to adjust and refine their search terms so it was not an issue.
You are quite correct.

Browsers did initially implement h2c (HTTP/2 cleartext), but before the dust had really settled, they decided “no, let’s use this opportunity to keep pushing people to adopt TLS” (if you want the performance improvements of HTTP/2, you have to go secure first) and so they ripped it out again. So h2c is much more an academic concept than a real-world thing.

Closely related is the general trend browser makers have agreed on to prefer to make new things only available in secure contexts, with https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-secure-contexts/ explaining and providing various rationale. There’s a genuine security aspect to it, but it’s also definitely about pushing people to do security properly. (“If you want to use this new feature, switch your site to HTTPS first.”)
The dimensions seem to be from another world, lol:

> 4730 m – United States — The Kansas City Southern Railway regularly runs between Kansas City, MO and Shreveport, LA

> 3658 m – United States – Trains are limited by air brake capability. electronically controlled pneumatic braked (180 wagons) – AAR Standard S-4200.[15]

Meanwhile, ordinary German trains are limited to 740m (Europe wide/UIC limit: 750m) and single-stack operation because of overhead power lines.

On the other side, the US has a lot of space that can be devoted to something like classification yards - the longer the train, the longer the yards have to be.
Were you exercising on these 3 days?

My experience (from longer fasts - never felt anything like that after 3 days) was that muscles that aren't in heavy use do indeed get metabolized for energy (which makes a lot of sense - maintaining muscles costs energy; if you're not using them and running on fat reserves, why keep them?)

However, if I exercise while fasting, I hardly lose any muscle at all.

One interesting thing is that unaerobic exercise, such as boxing or rope skipping becomes harder for me while fasted; but aerobic exercise, specifically, running - becomes easier and it feels like I can keep running forever (whereas unfasted I usually feel my ability degrading near the end of a 10km run)
Sure, and if you want to do a meta-analysis on HN CEO-criticism based on gender, adjusted for some metric of performance, I'll concede.
