I think you’re really cherry picking here. Most developers that frequent “caniuse” most likely encounter lack if safari support above every other browser. Also have you seen webgl 2? What a joke from the webkit team. Yes webgpu is on the way but it’s been like a decade now.
You do recall that your initial thesis was "A lot of people think day-to-day tasks like running a web app are difficult or impossible in Haskell! But of course this isn't true!"? Right?
Only one cable, ALBA-1, is accesible to Cuba. The other cables connect Guantanamo Bay to PR and Florida.
I like Arch but Im wondering if they make the installation challenging on purpose?
I am terrified of the idea that the common public of 70 million people that voted for Trump did not have the basic skills to determine what's true and what's not from the evidence. They've been constantly fed lies - as we speak about election fraud. They're provided with plenty of evidence, they choose to not believe.

If you think about the world where 80% of the people are religious, who throw away evidence in favor of faith; you're in for a dark future.
That's how most people vote, on all sides, and they have no responsibility to vote any other way. That's how democracy works.

Yet you clearly made a statement of all of his voters as choosing one thing over another. Perhaps you should revise that then, according to your new statement.
Ask HN: If you could automate a part of Machine Learning, what would it be?
Having a white person who wears their compassion on their sleeve call you racist or 'not black' for a refusal to cosign their hatred of Trump takes the cake. Hard to get over that one.

Mere indifference has become controversial.
Not really. Stadia wasn’t exactly a big success either

Which part of the statement are you disputing? That he didn't say "stand by"? That the proud boys aren't right-wing extremists? That the meaning of "stand by" was somehow misconstrued?

For what it's worth, here's how the proud boys interpreted the comment: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/29/us/trump-proud-boys-biden...
Nah just a bunch of Facebook trolls who convinced 49% of Americans to vote for him .
But again, this is only stopping progress from your point of view. From the other, it’s stopping damage. You are implying that your side is right and must have 100% to implement it. Anything short of that is damaging. It’s still one sided.
Well that was inevitable with the removal of some of their more prominent sexual predators.
OpenDoc was a mid-‘90s Apple software framework that basically did this. It was also adopted by IBM on OS/2 as part of the technology exchange that also resulted in Apple and Motorola using IBM’s POWER CPU architecture.

Steve Jobs killed OpenDoc when he returned to Apple in 1997 because it wasn’t NeXT software. The IBM side of the project had already died at that point as Windows 95 trounced OS/2.
I don't think this should be even the main reason. But it's as good as many others, it just extends the list.
He didn’t. Any person honest with themselves will admit to this.

I lean more conservative and had my own issues with Trump and his presidency, but I looked at his policy, words, and his actions. I still voted for him because I felt he aligned with the policies I wanted to move towards.

Falling into such a blatant lie about his racism though exposes any person that keeps repeating it as intellectually weak, easily manipulated, and wholly dishonest.

Frankly, I’m disappointed to see it repeated and upvoted on Hacker News. I come here to see intellectual comments and discussion, not low brow Twitter and Reddit garbage.
And yet another reason for the division right here.
Not everyone thinks that!
The Great American Breakup
Social media, and media in general, have a lot to do with it. The president won't have much impact on the day-to-day lives of most people. That's how government was setup with checks and balances.

Yet people have been trained and agitated into believing a singular group and person is responsible for everything possible, even though local state and city policies make much more impact.
After all that happened, did Obama tell the nut job to “stand down and stand by” with the lynching plan?

It’s one thing to give someone the benefit of the doubt and be wrong. It is another to explicitly condone their behavior after the fact.

(Also, I’ve never heard of the incident you’re talking about. Searching for the quote leads to some blogs, but no reputable sources. Are you sure the event happened?)
I can’t get over the amount of money spent on elections.

If we give everyone an unique national ID and enable online/digital voting on issues, I feel we can cut a lot of bloat and move things faster.
Break up how? Apple's main argument against Epic is that the iPhone (and related devices) wouldn't be successful without the app store and the app store wouldn't be a thing without the iPhone, thus they're both a part of the same product (the Apple ecosystem). It's hard to argue against that, so there's not many more places where it would make sense for an Apple break-up.
I look at it like this, without a horse in this race: some enterprising mofos are trying to create additional value for Apple's platforms, pay Apple's fees if they have to (or at least Microsoft was willing to, from what I hear they didn't expect to be shot down entirely), and Apple is saying no. No.

I mean what they're offering, at least in theory, is pretty neat, pretty compelling. Play Xbox Series whatever games, but on your iPhone or iPad. Apple just says No.

Well, if Apple wants to reject the value that these enterprising mofos is trying to bring to their platforms, who is the government to tell them that they can't shoot themselves in the foot? If it causes a few people to switch to Android such as Mike over at Penny Arcade, and maybe discover that they don't need an Apple-branded phone after all, that's Apple's loss. There's been no shortage of compelling Apps and services to be had in the App Store, no shortage of money to be made there if you have something that people 1. want and 2. are willing to pay for. Companies like Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Facebook, even Google have been making bank in the last 10 years off the back of iPhone users, built up a good portion of their business around iPhone and iPad users. Apple can keep the good times flowing through their platform, tighten up on the squeeze and get out of their own way, or they can lose out on opportunities that are literally sitting right in front of them, practically begging for Apple to pick them.

The people that care, that really care, are either going to switch to Android, or purchase an extra device just for this, or iPhone users are going to not give that much of a damn and just live life as they always have: without being able to stream games. Life is tough like that.

Markets always sort crap like this out in the long run though. Give it a few years, we'll come back to this and see if it actually matters.
how is the folder handling with notmuch in mutt?

i use sup (which is where notmuch came from) because it provides on-the-fly virtual folders where emails match a search query or a tag. i can also open multiple folders at once and switch between them without loosing state. it's been a while, but when i last used mutt it could not do that
No, utlity poles are MUCH, MUCH cheaper than undersea cables. Not even close. Plus you can run 216-strand on telephone poles whereas undersea cables (due to repeaters) are generally 6-strand and almost never more than 12-strand. Utility poles are cheaper even including the cost of the poles themselves.

However in order to put up utility poles you need a ROAD in order to get vehicles to the poles for maintenance. That's why you see offshore cables: when there are no roads through politically-stable territory.

Look at Alaska: the fiber runs overland all the way from the southern coast to the northern coast because the oil companies built a road next to the pipeline. Then it goes offshore along the arctic coast because there are no roads between the coastal communities.

Once you have roads and political stability, utility poles win every time. Underground is more reliable but more expensive. Undersea is insano-expensive.
They clearly meant as a consumer.
Generally I don't. That said, reading the various reports on the 737-MAX suggests that Boeing has some work to do in this regard.

While all of the examples you give could conceivably be attached to the Internet, none of them update their core software over the Internet. That would be a non-starter for the agencies that regulate them. When I see things like "autopilot updates" delivered to a Tesla as an update, it feels to me that self driving is an example of a technology that is 'running ahead' of the regulators at the moment.

Consider Facebook, which is a popular bad guy here[1]. There have been "crank" bulletin board systems since the 70's at least, and before that with HAM radio operators riling each other up over various perceived slights and insults. In 2016 we got to see that with a precision advertisement targeting system, and way more insights into people than ever existed before, companies like Cambridge Analytica could precisely target individuals who were susceptible to a particular line of reasoning. CA essentially offered Radicalization As a Service. We are still dealing with that to this day. Was there any reason to worry about BBS software? Not when it was a self selecting group. But when the BBS became a billion BBSes all hosted on the same platform with clear insights into the demographics, fears, and hopes of all of those BBSes at once, that was something new. And it changed the risk profile and was weaponized against people.

It has always been desirable for groups to find somewhat like minded people in order to form a group for collective action. That is the 'demand' side of the question, but before Facebook it wasn't economic to do that at scale. With Facebook it did become economic to do that, and it gave anyone a new capability. Not all of those people have (or had) people's best interest at heart and so we get the bad as well as the good.

Prior to self driving cars with over the air updates, continuous network connectivity, and full access to all systems on a car, has their been the capability (actualized or not) for someone anywhere in the world to target a specific car and take control away from the driver. The previous poster child, for vehicles anyway, were cars with computers that controlled things like engine starting/stopping and brakes. One issue was that you had to be near the car to know which one you wanted to attack. Self driving cars finesse that by giving you an interior camera view. It is a different realm of problem.

[1] I don't consider Facebook a bad actor per se, I believe that the forces that motivate them (page engagement, ad clicks, ad sales, etc) find ways to be serviced. And those ways are not constrained by ethics.
I like this list. Is there anything else you would add to it?

That reminds me of the McGregor’s legacy joke (a bit vulgar but https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/feuz6/whats_that_jok...). The gist is that people are noted for the horrible/crazy/strange things they’ve done, even if they’ve done other things as well (eg Hitler is never going to be noted for his work on animal rights and vegetarianism).
Here is the requirement from gov website for H1B

"The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability."

For companies looking for extraordinary talent, this rule boon.

Companies tring to hire cheap labour will have difficult time facing the new rule.
The idea of a grand coalition _seems_ odd, because I think we’re all accustomed to our major political parties fighting rather than cooperating, but if they can work together isn’t that a rejection of extremism on both sides and an embrace of centrism, which, perhaps, is what the German majority actually want? I know very little about German politics so I’m just asking the question here - but I’m genuinely curious, what’s the downside?
I used to be pretty into audio (I used to have bi-amped Vandersteen 2Cs). I've kind of wanted to build a new setup, speakers following the Tech Ingredients "World's Best Speakers" or "World's Second Best Speakers" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKIye4RZ-5k&t=18s

I had looked at building this amp to power it, but I realized I really want something that can do HDMI-CEC, where my TV can power the amp on and off and control the volume. You know, how my current Yamaha soundbar works. But I haven't for the life of me been able to find any boards that would allow me to add HDMI-CEC into the project. I did find USB modules that would allow a computer to send CEC commands, but no pre-amp or class-D board that could take CEC input.

Building speakers and a soundbar would be pretty fun though. Been really getting into DIY projects.

I believe America is the best country in the world with the strongest ideals. American is not only not as bad as others, it's also better.

You're free to believe something else of course, but then again most people have no perspective or experience of the suffering and violence in the world while they throw out these casual statements about how terrible America is.
The distinction is that the app developer is also selling access to specific computer software running on the developer’s infrastructure, to be run in a way that appears to function just like on-device code.

I don’t fully agree with Apple’s decision but I do understand it and recognise that it’s an awkward intersection between selling software and access to software that’s running elsewhere.
I misunderstood. I though the problem was related with people feeling attacked when their opinions are questioned. That can also happen with acceptable opinions.
Why should me playing a game be more restricted than me watching someone else (and anything else their commentary/antics might entail) play the very same game on twitch?
Yes, just not the <$90 models often recommended. Laser costs go up fast, and good color quality is a physically large unit usually.

If you care about print output and print often, inkjet will get you better value.
It's remarkably difficult and I wish there were better resources. I also wish news wasn't so driven by clicks and engagement.

I use 3 primary ones.

https://www.reuters.com/
I find it to a pretty accurate and neutral. Covers most news of the day. I think the AP is a good option for this too but personally prefer Reuters.

http://www.spectrym.news/
This one I discovered about a year ago and really like it. It's an aggregator for lots of different news sites. It groups stories by subject and labels how partisan the outlet is. With it I find I catch some of the political news I might sometimes miss with Reuters and also get a better idea of what kind of news stories people on both extremes of the political spectrum are consuming. I find I can understand their perspectives a lot better when I see the way that it's being reported by their news source of choice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events
This one I added really recently and it has been great! Really boring, clear, and neutral information. I find that it covers most of the news of the day and sums it up as briefly as possible. I've considered making this my only news source but haven't pulled the trigger on that yet.

It's a frustrating problem. I wish there were better ways to stay informed without reading stuff that feels like it's designed to make me as mad as possible so I forward the article and drive ad revenue.
Not exactly. That is why I have mentioned above words "collaborate" and "compromise".
"hypothetically, at a certain point you pay an employee (the costs) should be equal to their value they bring to the company (the benefits)"

That is literally absurd, as it would mean the theoretical company would have literally no benefit from said theoretical employee(s).
> "yeah, it was tilted to get Trump out, but no surprise there, and Trump will never prove it"

That’s cognitive dissonance at work.

The GOP has a structural advantage in the EC, the Senate, the House, and legislatures across the country[1,2]. Despite the GOP candidate having won the popular vote for the nPresident once out of the last eight (now nine) elections, they control six of nine seats on the SCOTUS. Despite Trump having a single term in office, he’s appointed 30% of the Federal judiciary with judges who are on average several years younger than the judges Obama appointed.

If anyone has reason to complain about tilt, it’s Democrats. Trump lost the popular vote by four million votes. I know it’s only the EC that matters, but that doesn’t make the system any less fair.

Trump voters are complaining about a tilted field that exists only in their imaginations. In reality, the electoral process in the U.S. currently favors the GOP.

1. A particularly egregious example is here in NC where the GOP won 50% of the vote in 2018 but secured 10 of 13 districts.

2. https://insideelections.com/news/article/the-gops-long-term-...

If it helps, for database data (eg not spreadsheet / excel), SQLite is a good alternative single-file format.
Absolutely. F* those people.
It doesn't allow you to track % complete, the time tracking plugin is actively awful, the VCS integration is mediocre when it works at all. The UI actively discourages reporters from filling in the description field But promotes a million other fields that are just noise...

Failing to implement certain features (for arguably legitimate reasons in some cases) isn’t the same as “regulating”.
Yes. Quite a few tools and products at $dayjob are Perl with active development, multiple large scale revenue numbers attached to them.

I use perl daily in my work on supercomputers and hpc systems. My code helps configure and control them. It helps simplify users work.

No. Perl is not dead by any measure.
Would it reassure you to know that the foreign military interventions never actually stopped? https://theintercept.com/2020/10/29/trump-yemen-war-civilian...
Yes. It is pretty amazing.
Individual action can be important. Regulation is also a valuable tool. When we discover behaviors that are dangerous, regulating them is absolutely reasonable and moral.
It’s the constant moving of the goal posts and redefinitions.

Is the argument that Trump is racist or right wing? They aren’t the same.

You can argue Proud Boys are right wing if viewing it in relation to Antifa for instance, but they aren’t racists. They are pretty diverse as a group, they just may not hold your values.

KKK and Neo Nazis are not right wing, but they are very racist. Both organizations are historically tied into the democrat party.

It’s the constant conflating of the two that has twisted up people into pretzels and turned this argument into pure trash honestly.

Trump is not going to align with your political values if you are left, but it doesn’t make him a racist.
So exposing your internal infrastructure to the whole world and risking a 3rd party (CA) turning the keys (literally) to your kingdom to someone else is better than someone making a mistake that’s very easy to discover and correct?

> Also, sometimes people need to access documents and emails from home computers and the company may use some devices on which it isn't possible to install the CA

That’s a plus as far most security professionals are concerned
> When those ballots keep being found day after day and the vote counting keeps going and going without end, until the right candidate wins, people will say its fraudulent.

This is not what is happening, and if anything, in Pennsylvania in particular, the Republican legislature is responsible for this situation. PA is one of only a few states that does not allow processing mailed ballots until election day (i.e. they can't even open the envelopes). The Democratic governor asked to change the law to allow counting of ballots before election day, precisely so you wouldn't get into this situation, and the Republican legislature refused.
I'm arguing on to the "Safari is the new IE" here (unless you're being pedantic on this and say Safari is Mac IE's replacement in 2003), not on what Safari actually lacks (which is many and it also bugs me to no end). There are more features that are actually being essentially "vetoed" by the Chrome team not implementing than by Safari's implementation being delayed (which is somehow around 5 years late).
But we're not even trying. Why is the minimum age for consumption of tobacco and alcohol a national issue? Why does the national government need to get involved in housing policy at any level of detail?
Are you sure I didn't read it?

"But such attainment is unthinkable if we continue to breed from the present race stock that yields us our largest amount of progeny. Some method must be devised to eliminate the degenerate and the defective; for these act constantly to impede progress and ever increasingly drag down the human race."

"When we consider that the mentally deficient reproduce more rapidly than those of normal intelligence, we may well look into the future with dismay. Unless a halt is called, and that speedily, our race is doomed to inevitable deterioration."
Oh i see but how does titan would help?
I’m just curious to know
Obama didn't really say anything about it and neither did the media. I think that's sort of my point. I think racism in one direction is amplified and racism in another is ignored and I think that's extremely dangerous and probably leads to more racism.

and sources here but OP didn't post sources for "armies of white supremacist supporters and advisers" which is normally against HN guidelines but I guess those are ignored also. [1][2]

Ain't gonna happen. This is how they want it. If they didn't, Big Tech would have been better regulated long ago. Having top down control over communication through private multinationals that all politically act in unison is exactly what the state desires.

1. I cannot speak for "them" of "Trump world".

2. It is not about skepticism, it is about assigning weights - stories and opinions coming from more trusted sources warrant more attention.

3. I think that "believing in stuff" is not a problem affecting only the "Trump world".
I am still waiting for someone to explain why an iPhone is a computer but not my Car, TV or Fridge.

All of them can access web content, facilitate payments, do shopping and run applications.

The reason it's important is because it would be the end of the gaming console model if they were forced to accept anything onto their app stores. Which would have pretty broad implications.
As a Finn, sometimes when I see a Tamil name I have to do a double take because at first I'll try to read it as a Finnish name. The written forms of the the languages seem to have eerie similarities, though I fully expect them to superficial coincidences.
