Poverty and suffering is not a left vs. right thing, it affects people all over the world. This doesn't mean that those people are morally superior to others who are e.g. rich or that they have the right to demand certain things from them.

They can make their case just like everybody else and negotiate in good faith for a better position. If because of their situation they cannot do that, others typically do it for them.

But you coming here and diminishing someone's experience, just because there's someone somewhere who isn't successful is merely an attempt emotional blackmail. This kind of emotional blackmail seems to work a lot better recently than in the past, but let's not confuse it with good arguments.
I'm reading this hopefully as the International Space Station.

I know it's not legal (I don't know that, actually, but at the very least it'd be trafficking), but if I could come up with an experiment on the ISS, it'd be to see if the effects of psilocybin and LSD have the same effects in space as they do on earth.
Literally 'trip ship' experiments in mental spatial effects, visuals or lackthereof, and physiological experiments could be conducted in relative safety. The real innovation would be how NASA and their contractors would approach the experiment.

The most powerful unnatural feeling in the world (zero-G) and some of the most powerful chemicals to affect the brain.

“Email Money Transfers” kinda work, but I can see a tech-forward alternative eating up 80-90% of that business. And I don’t think they plan on international business.

And as a “rich” country with a ton of immigrants, we probably have the most international remittances per capita.
Guilt tripping and emotional blackmail is not a path to social justice or any kind of justice. It's a dead end.
God no! The browser does not need to be an even bigger attack surface than it is today.
Ah, Yo hackathon was my first hackathon event after I graduated from a bootcamp 6 years ago. That was fun.

This brings back memories.
Nah, the DRM on iPhones is much stronger than screenshot protection. When you’re watching DRM protected media you can still take screenshots but the part of the screen that has the content will be blacked out. Basically all forms of reading pixels from DRM windows just return nothing.

Google bot protection\re-captcha has cookies in google.com and ARE essential. but in the video you have some other stuff. So, at least for google you can't be sure.
We distribute 80% of the companies profits among the employees, so by definition we pretty much always pay as much as we can. That still leaves the discussion open of how wages and promotions get balanced among the team. And even if the decision is “everyone gets the same share more”, some people feel like they should be getting more than the rest. And those people sometimes even feel rejected if you tell them that there’s not more money in the pool and if they want or need more, they need to go look elsewhere. Or they stick around and are silently disgruntled until at some point they explode, despite having had a voice and a vote in the matter (and actual agency in raising the profits, hence everyone’s wage).
Looks nice,
I wanted to submit a project and I spent time to fill the forms but I was greeted with a login wall after I filled all the details. There was no indication anywhere in the process that it would be required. It made me feel somewhat deceived.

I think it would be more honest towards your users to be upfront that you require login to submit a project.

The bank can repossess a collateral if the contract is broken. That's why it is collateral. However, this is a legal procedure and is not subject to their whims.
If they set it as a rent, I'll just go to the guys who give me the same money, but I'll own the device. Renting it means that I have no legal recourse against unreasonable search for example. This is not a house and I don't have any rights written anywhere.
> Not understanding the implications of this request, Achitometl acceded to the honour; his daughter went to Tizaapan, where she was splendidly arrayed and sacrificed. Following an old custom, the body was flayed and a priest donned her skin in an ancient agricultural rite symbolising the renewal of life. The unsuspecting chieftain Achitometl, invited to participate in the concluding festivities, suddenly recognised the skin of his daughter on the body of the priest.

this was a traditional rite; the skin would then be placed in a clay vessel underneath a temple or shrine alongside many others
From reading the comments there it seems newer RPi (>3) don't work for this or mangle the GPIO port in some way to prevent this. I do have some 3s lying around so I may try this soon.
Strictly speaking you are right, but Librem 5 [0] is going to get Respects Your Freedom certification from the Free Software Foundation, which is a high bar. If it's not enough for you, see also: Precursor [1].

"nix is useful for getting the same version of programs on different computers". This is obviously useful to have.

Say for the use-case of "I have a macOS laptop, and I use Arch Linux on a different computer". I can't genuinely recommend nixpkgs as better than just running "brew install..." and "pacman -S" (and whatever AUR tool is in vogue).
-- Yes, once you know what you're doing and have a configuration, nixpkgs is nicer. But it's not as if the good-enough alternatives are too hard.

When there are more hurdles to getting the bleeding edge (like on Amazon Linux or whatever), I appreciate how much easier it is to just "install nix, install my packages". But even then, installing a recent version of tmux or fish or whatever is a quick search and a few commands away. (Which isn't that much if you only have to do it once every few months; and/or note how to do it in some script or markdown notes).
Thats truly sounds interesting. Currently, we are focusing on these 3 primary investigations: extreme environment; earth observation; gravitropic research
“It means they can do things that would otherwise stall due to waiting for industry adoption.“

That was certainly the case for the Vegas Video team back when Sony owned the group. That said, it enabled some head-scratching behaviors, like XDCAM and XDCAM EX having different schemas and formats despite both being XDCAM branded random-access media.

If plenoptic computational videography ever becomes more popular, it will likely be on the back of a similar hardware/software integration. Existing NLE products feel a bit shoehorned for RAW post-photography/pre-assembly to grading/finishing workflows being pluggable.
Not so much a streaming service, but I use bandcamp for any artists I listen to on the platform. They take a 10-15% cut on sales, but sales go to the artist otherwise.
Is Biden any better? Quoting 'adventured' from elsewhere in this thread:

> As opposed to Biden's belligerent life-long racism, which the left universally goes a great distance out of its way to ignore?

> Even Kamala Harris called him a racist. She did her best to run away from that after it was no longer convenient of course.

> See: Biden's statements on "a racial jungle," segregation, busing, and how he didn't want his children going to desegregated schools.

> See: Biden's support of the crime bill that specifically targeted and locked up a million black people.

> See: Biden's past friendships and associations with 'former' KKK memembers like Robert Byrd (someone he considered a good friend and mentor). Byrd was one of the most vile pieces of scum elected to the US Government in the past century. How's that for associating with white supremacists?

> See: Biden's racist statements about Obama prior to the 2008 election.

This context is helpful. They hacked the system to take advantage of free notifications.
Ooh I did a similar thing at in college where I used a raspberry pie to hook up the door handle to speakers to play “The Boys are Back in Town” whenever someone opened up our front door at the beginning of the semester.
In USA your phone gets IMEI blacklisted and you can't even do the restricted things listed in this article. Even in iPhones.

It's kinda weird to criticize in this way when USA already has a worse system in place.
Absolutely. Any money put into modifications like these is essentially lost, you won't get even a fraction of it back when it comes to time to sell the car. The modified head unit plus labour to fit it was worth about 9 months of payments on that car, so doing it would have been nuts.
This DOES need to be put into context. It is very, VERY old, so old it even predates all modern congestion control algorithms. The timer problems were solved by Van Jacobson in 1988, who replaced the fixed beta parameter with a mathematical variance estimator, which made solved the convergence problems. The slow connection start problem was resolved using the slow-start algorithm (which ramps up exponentially). The congestion problem was solved by using exponential backoff and linear ramp-up after slow start, which solved the "retransmit storm" problem which had plagued ARPANET since the beginning. You can read about those improvements in [0], straight from Van Jacobson himself.

His scheme became known as TCP Reno, and was the basis for almost every future congestion control algorithm (CUBIC, Vegas, Chicago, Compound), until BBR (also by Van Jacobson), which operates on different principles [1].

How does it compare with Robert Musil's "Man without qualities"? Both seems to be somewhat on related topics..
""I'm not bound by those rules, I'm bound by these rules"

I don't think that makes much sense.
Imagine people coming to your house and declaring you, they are not bound by your home rules, but rather their own rules - so they start a trash party now.

In other words, I think it very much makes sense to bound land and rules. Exception might be nomadic people, like beduins travelling through the desert: when you come to their tents, you are bound by their rules, even though the tents change place.
Haha, I would not be surprised if Beatnik gave birth to the word 'baller'.

Amen! Taking a common perception and wrapping it in a lot of cheap psychoanalysis (without even providing references) belongs somewhere else.
Looks like it's a single guy, that has been a mac dev for quite some time, developing Letter Opener (https://winmail.help/)

I love the quote at the end of the page:
"Made with a special for winmail.dat files."

I'm a bit worried that he doesn't have the manpower to push kaleidoscope forward, but tbh I wouldn't mind paying a small subscription fee for having it maintained, working on folders, e.t.c.

I really want the high quality mac software back that we had 10-15 years ago. And I wouldn't mind paying for it, even if it's more than the ridiculous 1$ one time handout that we've somehow accepted as normal.

So good luck to Christopher!
No, it’s not a PII related issue. You need consent to set nonessential cookies, regardless if they contain PII. An example is Segment, which sets cookies but may not be tied to a particular user. Segment, at least using just for analytics, isn’t necessary for the function of a website or app, so even if the cookies don’t have any PII you still need to get consent.

You’re right that you don’t need permission to set server session cookies, but that is because that cookie is essential for the function of an authenticated app.
This is true.

Some pro lifers want zero exceptions, but it’s extremist.
Years and years ago (like the 1970's) way before mobile phones, and phonecalls weren't particularly cheap it was common to give someone "three rings" to let them know you had arrived home safely after leaving them.
There is a kind of half-formed philosophy out there which believes we can get back to some false utopian small-collective agri-mercantile worker paradise.

It doesn't exist, and never did. Learn how to adapt and make the most of the systems that exist now.

I dare to say, if you even actually achieved those fantastical scenarios, the damper on economic and population prosperity would be such that you might not have been conceived to wish for it.

It's a little extreme to let a mobile phone's operating system call for the revamp of our economic systems.
Great how you figured out what the problem was. Very well written, due to the tables that show which records get resolved in which sequence, by which DNS server.
Noted, thanks for the feedback.

I guess it makes sense that signing up is required for obvious spam-prevention reasons, but it could be more clear when you fill the form. I’ll fix that ASAP.

I'd argue that doing that now, when we have a much better understanding of how to treat the virus, is quite a different proposition to the start of the year when we didn't.

Because if it doesn't work, you haven't had a doctor give someone something with unforseen side-effects: they injected them with a deadly virus and killed them (in the worst case).

Now we have treatments like Regeneron which the President received, which most likely made a very big difference in his fairly rapid convalescence - doing it when you have more plausible interventions if it doesn't work is quite different.

I mean all of this stuff is, relatively, going at lightning pace - if we have a vaccine early next year, that's what, 1.5 years between initial detection and immunization for a novel virus? That is breakneck pace.
The comment you are replying to says nothing about redistributing wealth...only that people should have the material resources they need. To your point, however, when people are not being payed appropriately for their productivity and executives are making excessive amounts of money than what one could ever need in a lifetime that is the truly fraudulent redistribution of wealth.
Crazy how we all use common resources without regard for the system as a whole.

Some might even call it a tragedy.
Signal and most banking apps have it.

The feature isn’t literally supposed to prevent you from recording the screen, but it’s enough of an annoyance/deterrent that people don’t. The goal is to prevent people from having sensitive information sitting in their camera roll by accident and send a unambiguous signal to the user that you shouldn’t be screenshoting it.

It’s the same feature Gmail enterprise offers that “blocks downloading and forwarding.” Like of course literally it doesn’t and can’t possibly prevent someone motivated but it drastically reduces the chance of someone leaking confidential information when they have to go through a bunch of kludgy steps.
Alex Trebek Dies: ‘Jeopardy’ Host Dead at 80 of Pancreatic Cancer
My response to that is, "Is your company really OK with copy-pasting from Stack Overflow into their production system?" Do you know what license the Stack Overflow content is released under [1]? Is that license compatible with your company's software? Are you complying with the terms of that license, including providing any required attribution? Who gets sued or fired if that copy-pasted code doesn't work? What goes into the post-mortem?

Similarly, is your company really OK with you just pulling in a dependency and coding onward? Do you review each external dependency's license for compatibility with your company's software? Do you audit each dependency for security issues, backdoors, and other bugs? What dependencies do your dependencies rely on, and have you reviewed them, too? How do you know the dependency works as you think it should work? What is the maintenance plan for this dependency? How often do you plan to update the dependency, and when you do, do you plan to re-audit it?

As someone who has worked on safety-critical marine and aerospace applications, this casual attitude about pulling in dependencies and copy-pasting code is so foreign to me! Is this yolo attitude really how it works in the move-fast-and-break-things universe? No large company I ever worked for would allow any of this without proper vetting and reviewing--even on non-safety-critical programs. Really interesting and scary how best practices are defined in various areas of the software development world!

How long do most species last before going extinct?
I've seen worse, this post actually does describe what happened with a few interesting tidbits.
Everytime I read about some advanced emacs workflow, it just blows my mind. I mainly use Emacs (doom emacs actually) as a glorified note taking and task manager app with org-mode.
interesting to see how this works!

i made a similar tool for the command line that keeps my downloads organized and knows how to search for them. it also has functionality for returning the repo url so i have an open alias that just opens the repo in github

I used Resolve a while back to edit some vacation video, it worked well. I remember seeing on their website that they made control panels and the external GPU and thinking "it's nice they found a way to support their software." I had no idea they made cameras and all this other stuff! Their cameras are really cheap too. This is a game changer if they're any good. How have I not heard of them? Haven't paid much attention to cameras for a decade but surely they've been around.

What are you talking about? You can easily disable location services on any Apple device.
More taxes for tech workers in the bracket of 400k+, though nothing extreme compared to many other developed countries.

Possibly some further regulation, but he isn't as leftwing (as in state policy-intensive) as many Trump supporters were led to believe.

Long term, probably more cleantech projects.
I know a lot of folks on HN don't like what Apple does to confirm genuine product (ie, battery notification if a third party is swapped in etc).

I feel like a lot of folks on HN don't buy used / second hand products - especially in non US / EU settings. If you did, you would IMMEDIATELY understand that if a cheapo battery can be dropped in that shows 100% battery life - IT WILL BE. And then your phone will die in a month or two.

This extends to everything. Conversely, some telecom services overseas are insanely cheap by western standards. Anyone know why / how this is?

For india it's $4-5/month for 3GB/day of data.
You should be thankful to have such strong and rational voices (Drosten and co) in the public discourse in Germany. I think that's one of the differences with France.

"you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. [...] And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly."
Or, if you are like me from a country where a genuine iPhone 12 is worth about 3 months of average salary, this is an easy way to buy some status without actually spending quarter of your annual income on one. You could fool a lot of people with one of these. Same reason why fake anything exists - to sell to people who don't have means to buy the real thing(and yes, I suppose to also scam some who think they are getting the real deal, but that must be a tiny portion of the money involved in making this).
Sorry for the NY Daily link; the more reliable news outlets haven't picked up the story yet.

RIP, Alex. You were one of a kind and inspired millions. I am incredibly glad to have had the opportunity to meet you (and grateful to my wife for making it happen). You played a huge role in making nerdy cool, in addition to bringing credibility back to trivia game shows.

(For Jeopardy! fans, I believe the show producers approached Jennings earlier this year and he expressed interest in taking over as host.)

if you are trying to think of ffmpeg as a traditional editor, then yes it is the wrong tool. if you want to programmatically process video/audio/etc, then it is a god send. if you have 100s, 1000s, or more videos that all have different encoding parameters (framesize,framerate,etc) where all of them need a logo or two or three prepended/appended, it would take human ops in a GUI environment forever to sort them and apply the correct logos. this is a piece of cake script-o-matically with ffprobe and ffmpeg. that's just a simple task barely even making ffmpeg get it's heartbeat up from idle. add text that comes up saying some version of "don't share this video" at timed intervals, add a studio bug, burn-in subtitles, etc. all in the same single command and hands-free. now we're talking time saving.

any new piece of software that doesn't get used frequently will have the same "what's the command again" situation. plus, the filter list is just a web page open next to your terminal away.
I love this privacy first approach, and it makes enterprise use easier when I don’t have to trust you. More SaaS should take note.
